12.3.4 Debug Operation

During run-time debugging, this peripheral will continue ordinary operation. The SLPCTRL is only affected by a break in the debug operation: If the SLPCTRL is in a sleep mode when a break occurs, the device will wake up, and the SLPCTRL will go to Active mode, even if there are no pending interrupt requests.

If the peripheral is configured to require periodic service by the CPU through interrupts or similar, improper operation or data loss may result during halted debugging.
