CPU States

There are four CPU states: the reset state, program execution state, program halt state, and
exception-handling state. The program execution state includes active mode. In the program halt
state there are a sleep mode, and standby mode. These states are shown in figure 2-11, Figure 2-12
shows the state transitions. For details on program execution state and program halt state, refer to
section 6, Power-Down Modes. For details on exception processing, refer to section 3, Exception
Handling.
