0h
Enable NMI event for the Access time error flag (ACCTEIFG).
Reset type: BOR
0h (R/W) = ACCTEIE_0 : Disable NMI for the Access time error flag
(ACCTEIFG).
1h (R/W) = ACCTEIE_1 : Enable NMI for the Access time error flag
(ACCTEIFG). Generates vector in SYSSNIV.

FRAM Memory Power Control Request
While the device is in AM (Active mode), the FRAM memory power
is controlled by the FRPWR bit and FRAM access. When the
FRPWR is set, the FRAM memory is in ACTIVE mode. When the
FRPWR is cleared by CPU, the FRAM memory goes into INACTIVE
mode so that the FRAM memory does not consumes power. The
INACTIVE mode can be used if no FRAM access is required for a
significant amount of time. Once the FRAM memory is in the
INACTIVE mode, wake-up is automatic. An access to FRAM (read or
write) will wake up the FRAM memory before performing the access.
In this case, the FRPWR bit is set automatically by the FRAM
controller. When the device enters LPM0/1/2/3/4 modes, the FRAM
memory also enters INACTIVE mode regardless of the FRPWR bit
status. When the device wakes up from LPM0/1/2/3/4, the FRAM
memory will be immediately powered up (ACTIVE mode) if the
FRPWR is set, but if the FRPWR bit is cleared, the FRAM memory
will remain in INACTIVE mode until the FRAM memory is actually
accessed (read or write). The latter case can be used to save the
device power consumption in case the device wakes up only for a
short amount of time, and the task during the wake-up can be
executed from RAM, so no need of FRAM access.
Reset type: PUC
0h (R/W) = FRPWR_0 : Enable INACTIVE mode.
1h (R/W) = FRPWR_1 : Enable ACTIVE mode.
