MC9S12G Family Reference Manual Rev.1.27 
NXP Semiconductors 263
Read: Anytime. 
Write: Only if a transition is allowed (see Figure 5-4).
The MODC bit of the MODE register is used to select the MCU’s operating mode.

5.3.2.2 Direct Page Register (DIRECT)
Read: Anytime
Write: anytime in special SS, write-once in NS.
This register determines the position of the 256 Byte direct page within the memory map.It is valid for both 
global and local mapping scheme.

Field Description

MODC
Mode Select Bit — This bit controls the current operating mode during RESET
 high (inactive). The external 
mode pin MODC determines the operating mode during RESET
 low (active). The state of the pin is registered 
into the respective register bit after the RESET signal goes inactive (see Figure 5-4).
Write restrictions exist to disallow transitions between certain modes. Figure 5-4 illustrates all allowed mode 
changes. Attempting non authorized transitions will not change the MODE bit, but it will block further writes to 
the register bit except in special modes. 
Write accesses to the MODE register are blocked when the device is secured.
