Abstract: In response to a software instruction, a static microprocessor is placed in a low current mode by disabling clock pulse generation. Means are provided for disabling a master oscillator when a STOP instruction is decoded. Additional means are provided for inhibiting clock pulses when a WAIT instruction is decoded without disabling the master oscillator. Clock pulse generation is again enabled upon receipt of a reset or interrupt signal.
