5.5.2.4 COP Watchdog Timer Considerations
The COP watchdog timer is active in all modes of operation if enabled
by a mask option. If the COP watchdog timer is selected by a mask
option, any execution of the STOP instruction (either intentionally or
inadvertently due to the CPU being disturbed) causes the oscillator to
halt and prevents the COP watchdog timer from timing out. If the COP
watchdog timer is selected by a mask option, the COP resets the MCU
when it times out. Therefore, it is recommended that the COP watchdog
be disabled for a system that must have intentional uses of the wait
mode for periods longer than the COP time out period.
