Architectural Overview
EMI REDUCTION
The COP8CBE9/CCE9 devices incorporate circuitry that guards against electromagnetic interference - an
increasing problem in today's microcontroller board designs. TI's patented EMI reduction technology offers low
EMI clock circuitry, gradual turn-on output drivers (GTOs) and internal Icc smoothing filters, to help circumvent
many of the EMI issues influencing embedded control designs. TI has achieved 15 dB–20 dB reduction in EMI
transmissions when designs have incorporated its patented EMI reducing circuitry.
IN-SYSTEM PROGRAMMING AND VIRTUAL EEPROM
The device includes a program in a boot ROM that provides the capability, through the MICROWIRE/PLUS serial
interface, to erase, program and read the contents of the Flash memory.
Additional routines are included in the boot ROM, which can be called by the user program, to enable the user to
customize in system software update capability if MICROWIRE/PLUS is not desired.
Additional functions will copy blocks of data between the RAM and the Flash Memory. These functions provide a
virtual EEPROM capability by allowing the user to emulate a variable amount of EEPROM by initializing
nonvolatile variables from the Flash Memory and occasionally restoring these variables to the Flash Memory.
The contents of the boot ROM have been defined by TI. Execution of code from the boot ROM is dependent on
the state of the FLEX bit in the Option Register on exit from RESET. If the FLEX bit is a zero, the Flash Memory
is assumed to be empty and execution from the boot ROM begins. For further information on the FLEX bit, refer
to Section 4.5, Option Register.
DUAL CLOCK AND CLOCK DOUBLER
The device includes a versatile clocking system and two oscillator circuits designed to drive a crystal or ceramic
resonator. The primary oscillator operates at high speed up to 10 MHz. The secondary oscillator is optimized for
operation at 32.768 kHz.
The user can, through specified transition sequences (please refer to Power Saving Features ), switch execution
between the high speed and low speed oscillators. The unused oscillator can then be turned off to minimize
power dissipation. If the low speed oscillator is not used, the pins are available as general purpose bidirectional
ports.
The operation of the CPU will use a clock at twice the frequency of the selected oscillator (up to 20 MHz for high
speed operation and 65.536 kHz for low speed operation). This doubled clock will be referred to in this document
as ‘MCLK'. The frequency of the selected oscillator will be referred to as CKI. Instruction execution occurs at one
tenth the selected MCLK rate.
TRUE IN-SYSTEM EMULATION
On-chip emulation capability has been added which allows the user to perform true in-system emulation using
final production boards and devices. This simplifies testing and evaluation of software in real environmental
conditions. The user, merely by providing for a standard connector which can be bypassed by jumpers on the
final application board, can provide for software and hardware debugging using actual production units.
ARCHITECTURE
The COP8 family is based on a modified Harvard architecture, which allows data tables to be accessed directly
from program memory. This is very important with modern microcontroller-based applications, since program
memory is usually ROM or EPROM, while data memory is usually RAM. Consequently constant data tables need
to be contained in non-volatile memory, so they are not lost when the microcontroller is powered down. In a
modified Harvard architecture, instruction fetch and memory data transfers can be overlapped with a two stage
pipeline, which allows the next instruction to be fetched from program memory while the current instruction is
being executed using data memory. This is not possible with a Von Neumann single-address bus architecture.
The COP8 family supports a software stack scheme that allows the user to incorporate many subroutine calls.
This capability is important when using High Level Languages. With a hardware stack, the user is limited to a
small fixed number of stack levels.

INSTRUCTION SET
In today's 8-bit microcontroller application arena cost/performance, flexibility and time to market are several of
the key issues that system designers face in attempting to build well-engineered products that compete in the
marketplace. Many of these issues can be addressed through the manner in which a microcontroller's instruction
set handles processing tasks. And that's why the COP8 family offers a unique and code-efficient instruction set -
one that provides the flexibility, functionality, reduced costs and faster time to market that today's microcontroller
based products require.
Code efficiency is important because it enables designers to pack more on-chip functionality into less program
memory space (ROM, OTP or Flash). Selecting a microcontroller with less program memory size translates into
lower system costs, and the added security of knowing that more code can be packed into the available program
memory space.
Key Instruction Set Features
The COP8 family incorporates a unique combination of instruction set features, which provide designers with
optimum code efficiency and program memory utilization.
Single Byte/Single Cycle Code Execution
The efficiency is due to the fact that the majority of instructions are of the single byte variety, resulting in
minimum program space. Because compact code does not occupy a substantial amount of program memory
space, designers can integrate additional features and functionality into the microcontroller program memory
space. Also, the majority instructions executed by the device are single cycle, resulting in minimum program
execution time. In fact, 77% of the instructions are single byte single cycle, providing greater code and I/O
efficiency, and faster code execution.
Many Single-Byte, Multi-Function Instructions
The COP8 instruction set utilizes many single-byte, multifunction instructions. This enables a single instruction to
accomplish multiple functions, such as DRSZ, DCOR, JID, LD (Load) and X (Exchange) instructions with post-
incrementing and post-decrementing, to name just a few examples. In many cases, the instruction set can
simultaneously execute as many as three functions with the same single-byte instruction.
JID: (Jump Indirect); Single byte instruction decodes external events and jumps to corresponding service routines
(analogous to “DO CASE” statements in higher level languages).
LAID: (Load Accumulator-Indirect); Single byte look up table instruction provides efficient data path from the
program memory to the CPU. This instruction can be used for table lookup and to read the entire program
memory for checksum calculations.
RETSK: (Return Skip); Single byte instruction allows return from subroutine and skips next instruction. Decision
to branch can be made in the subroutine itself, saving code.
AUTOINC/DEC: (Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement); These instructions use the two memory pointers B and X to
efficiently process a block of data (simplifying “FOR NEXT” or other loop structures in higher level languages).
Bit-Level Control
Bit-level control over many of the microcontroller's I/O ports provides a flexible means to ease layout concerns
and save board space. All members of the COP8 family provide the ability to set, reset and test any individual bit
in the data memory address space, including memory-mapped I/O ports and associated registers.
Register Set
Three memory-mapped pointers handle register indirect addressing and software stack pointer functions. The
memory data pointers allow the option of post-incrementing or post- decrementing with the data movement
instructions (LOAD/EXCHANGE). And 15 memory-mapped registers allow designers to optimize the precise
implementation of certain specific instructions.

PACKAGING/PIN EFFICIENCY
Real estate and board configuration considerations demand maximum space and pin efficiency, particularly given
today's high integration and small product form factors. Microcontroller users try to avoid using large packages to
get the I/O needed. Large packages take valuable board space and increase device cost, two trade-offs that
microcontroller designs can ill afford.
The COP8 family offers a wide range of packages and does not waste pins.
These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam
during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.

Pin Functions
Pin Descriptions
The COP8CBE/CCE I/O structure enables designers to reconfigure the microcontroller's I/O functions with a single instruction. Each
individual I/O pin can be independently configured as output pin low, output high, input with high impedance or input with weak pull-up
device. A typical example is the use of I/O pins as the keyboard matrix input lines. The input lines can be programmed with internal weak
pull-ups so that the input lines read logic high when the keys are all open. With a key closure, the corresponding input line will read a logic
zero since the weak pull-up can easily be overdriven. When the key is released, the internal weak pull-up will pull the input line back to logic
high. This eliminates the need for external pull-up resistors. The high current options are available for driving LEDs, motors and speakers.
This flexibility helps to ensure a cleaner design, with less external components and lower costs. Below is the general description of all
available pins.
VCC and GND are the power supply pins. All VCC and GND pins must be connected.
Users of the WQFN package are cautioned to be aware that the central metal area and the pin 1 index mark on the bottom of the package
may be connected to GND. See figure below:
CKI is the clock input. This can be connected (in conjunction with CKO) to an external crystal circuit to form a crystal oscillator. See
Oscillator Description section.
RESET is the master reset input. See Reset description section.
AVCC is the Analog Supply for A/D converter. It should be connected to VCC externally. This is also the top of the resistor ladder D/A
converter used within the A/D converter.
AGND is the ground pin for the A/D converter. It should be connected to GND externally. This is also the bottom of the resistor ladder D/A
converter used within the A/D converter.

Pin Descriptions (continued)
The device contains up to six bidirectional 8-bit I/O ports (A, B, G, H and L), where each individual bit may be independently configured as
an input (Schmitt trigger inputs on ports L and G), output or TRI-STATE under program control. Three data memory address locations are
allocated for each of these I/O ports. Each I/O port has three associated 8-bit memory mapped registers, the CONFIGURATION register,
the output DATA register and the Pin input register. (See the memory map for the various addresses associated with the I/O ports.)
Figure 5 shows the I/O port configurations. The DATA and CONFIGURATION registers allow for each port bit to be individually configured
under software control as shown below:
DATA
CONFIGURATION Register Port Set-Up
Register
0 0 Hi-Z Input
(TRI-STATE Output)
0 1 Input with Weak Pull-Up
1 0 Push-Pull Zero Output
1 1 Push-Pull One Output
Port A is an 8-bit I/O port. All A pins have Schmitt triggers on the inputs. The 44-pin package does not have a full 8-bit port and contains
some unbonded, floating pads internally on the chip. The binary value read from these bits is undetermined. The application software
should mask out these unknown bits when reading the Port A register, or use only bit-access program instructions when accessing Port A.
These unconnected bits draw power only when they are addressed (i.e., in brief spikes). Additionally, if Port A is being used with some
combination of digital inputs and analog inputs, the analog inputs will read as undetermined values and should be masked out by software.
Port A supports the analog inputs for the A/D converter. Port A has the following alternate pin functions:
A7 Analog Channel 7
A6 Analog Channel 6
A5 Analog Channel 5
A4 Analog Channel 4
A3 Analog Channel 3
A2 Analog Channel 2
A1 Analog Channel 1
A0 Analog Channel 0
Port B is an 8-bit I/O port. All B pins have Schmitt triggers on the inputs. If Port B is being used with some combination of digital inputs and
analog inputs, the analog inputs will read as undetermined values. The application software should mask out these unknown bits when
reading the Port B register, or use only bit-access program instructions when accessing Port B.
Port B supports the analog inputs for the A/D converter. Port B has the following alternate pin functions:
B7 Analog Channel 15 or A/D Input
B6 Analog Channel 14 or Analog Multiplexor Output
B5 Analog Channel 13 or Analog Multiplexor Output
B4 Analog Channel 12
B3 Analog Channel 11
B2 Analog Channel 10
B1 Analog Channel 9
B0 Analog Channel 8
Port G is an 8-bit port. Pin G0, G2–G5 are bi-directional I/O ports. Pin G6 is always a general purpose Hi-Z input. All pins have Schmitt
Triggers on their inputs.Pin G1 serves as the dedicated WATCHDOG output with weak pull-up if the WATCHDOG feature is selected
by the Option register. The pin is a general purpose I/O if WATCHDOG feature is not selected. If WATCHDOG feature is selected, bit
1 of the Port G configuration and data register does not have any effect on Pin G1 setup. G7 serves as the dedicated output pin for the
CKO clock output.

Since G6 is an input only pin and G7 is the dedicated CKO clock output pin, the associated bits in the data and configuration registers for
G6 and G7 are used for special purpose functions as outlined below. Reading the G6 and G7 data bits will return zeros.
The device will be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1” to bit 7 of the Port G Data Register. Similarly the device will be placed in the
IDLE mode by writing a “1” to bit 6 of the Port G Data Register.
Writing a “1” to bit 6 of the Port G Configuration Register enables the MICROWIRE/PLUS to operate with the alternate phase of the SK
clock. The G7 configuration bit, if set high, enables the clock start up delay after HALT when the R/C clock configuration is used.

EMULATION CONNECTION
Connection to the emulation system is made via a 2 x 7 connector which interrupts the continuity of the RESET, G0, G1, G2 and G3 signals
between the COP8 device and the rest of the target system (as shown in Figure 8). This connector can be designed into the production pc
board and can be replaced by jumpers or signal traces when emulation is no longer necessary. The emulator will replicate all functions of
G0 - G3 and RESET. For proper operation, no connection should be made on the device side of the emulator connector.

Functional Description
The architecture of the device is a modified Harvard architecture. With the Harvard architecture, the program
memory (Flash) is separate from the data store memory (RAM). Both Program Memory and Data Memory have
their own separate addressing space with separate address buses. The architecture, though based on the
Harvard architecture, permits transfer of data from Flash Memory to RAM.
CPU REGISTERS
The CPU can do an 8-bit addition, subtraction, logical or shift operation in one instruction (tC) cycle time.
There are six CPU registers:
A is the 8-bit Accumulator Register
PC is the 15-bit Program Counter Register
PU is the upper 7 bits of the program counter (PC)
PL is the lower 8 bits of the program counter (PC)
B is an 8-bit RAM address pointer, which can be optionally post auto incremented or decremented.
X is an 8-bit alternate RAM address pointer, which can be optionally post auto incremented or decremented.
S is the 8-bit Data Segment Address Register used to extend the lower half of the address range (00 to 7F) into
256 data segments of 128 bytes each.
SP is the 8-bit stack pointer, which points to the subroutine/interrupt stack (in RAM). With reset the SP is
initialized to RAM address 06F Hex. The SP is decremented as items are pushed onto the stack. SP points to
the next available location on the stack.
All the CPU registers are memory mapped with the exception of the Accumulator (A) and the Program Counter
(PC).
PROGRAM MEMORY
The program memory consists of 8192 bytes of Flash Memory. These bytes may hold program instructions or
constant data (data tables for the LAID instruction, jump vectors for the JID instruction, and interrupt vectors for
the VIS instruction). The program memory is addressed by the 15-bit program counter (PC). All interrupts in the
device vector to program memory location 00FF Hex. The program memory reads 00 Hex in the erased state.
Program execution starts at location 0 after RESET.
If a Return instruction is executed when the SP contains 6F (hex), instruction execution will continue from
Program Memory location 7FFF (hex). If location 7FFF is accessed by an instruction fetch, the Flash Memory will
return a value of 00. This is the opcode for the INTR instruction and will cause a Software Trap.

DATA MEMORY
The data memory address space includes the on-chip RAM and data registers, the I/O registers (Configuration,
Data and Pin), the control registers, the MICROWIRE/PLUS SIO shift register, and the various registers, and
counters associated with the timers and the USART (with the exception of the IDLE timer). Data memory is
addressed directly by the instruction or indirectly by the B, X and SP pointers.
The data memory consists of 256 bytes of RAM. Sixteen bytes of RAM are mapped as “registers” at addresses
0F0 to 0FF Hex. These registers can be loaded immediately, and also decremented and tested with the DRSZ
(decrement register and skip if zero) instruction. The memory pointer registers X, SP, B and S are memory
mapped into this space at address locations 0FC to 0FF Hex respectively, with the other registers being available
for general usage.
The instruction set permits any bit in memory to be set, reset or tested. All I/O and registers (except A and PC)
are memory mapped; therefore, I/O bits and register bits can be directly and individually set, reset and tested.
The accumulator (A) bits can also be directly and individually tested.
Note: RAM contents are undefined upon power-up.
DATA MEMORY SEGMENT RAM EXTENSION
Data memory address 0FF is used as a memory mapped location for the Data Segment Address Register (S).
The data store memory is either addressed directly by a single byte address within the instruction, or indirectly
relative to the reference of the B, X, or SP pointers (each contains a single-byte address). This single-byte
address allows an addressing range of 256 locations from 00 to FF hex. The upper bit of this single-byte address
divides the data store memory into two separate sections as outlined previously. With the exception of the RAM
register memory from address locations 00F0 00FF, all RAM memory is memory mapped with the upper bit of
the single-byte address being equal to zero. This allows the upper bit of the single-byte address to determine
whether or not the base address range (from 0000 00FF) is extended. If this upper bit equals one (representing
address range 0080 00FF), then address extension does not take place. Alternatively, if this upper bit equals
zero, then the data segment extension register S is used to extend the base address range from 0000 007F to
XX00 XX7F, where XX represents the 8 bits from the S register. Thus the 128-byte data segment extensions
are located from addresses 0100 017F for data segment 1, 0200 027F for data segment 2, etc., up to FF00
FF7F for data segment 255. The base address range from 0000 007F represents data segment 0.
Refer to Table 3, to determine available RAM segments for this device.
Figure 9illustrates how the S register data memory extension is used in extending the lower half of the base
address range (00 to 7F hex) into 256 data segments of 128 bytes each, with a total addressing range of 32
kbytes from XX00 to XX7F. This organization allows a total of 256 data segments of 128 bytes each with an
additional upper base segment of 128 bytes. Furthermore, all addressing modes are available for all data
segments. The S register must be changed under program control to move from one data segment (128 bytes)
to another. However, the upper base segment (containing the 16 memory registers, I/O registers, control
registers, etc.) is always available regardless of the contents of the S register, since the upper base segment
(address range 0080 to 00FF) is independent of data segment extension.
The instructions that utilize the stack pointer (SP) always reference the stack as part of the base segment
(Segment 0), regardless of the contents of the S register. The S register is not changed by these instructions.
Consequently, the stack (used with subroutine linkage and interrupts) is always located in the base segment. The
stack pointer will be initialized to point at data memory location 006F as a result of reset.

The 128 bytes of RAM contained in the base segment are split between the lower and upper base segments.
The first 112 bytes of RAM are resident from address 0000 to 006F in the lower base segment, while the
remaining 16 bytes of RAM represent the 16 data memory registers located at addresses 00F0 to 00FF of the
upper base segment. No RAM is located at the upper sixteen addresses (0070 to 007F) of the lower base
segment.
Additional RAM beyond these initial 128 bytes, however, will always be memory mapped in groups of 128 bytes
(or less) at the data segment address extensions (XX00 to XX7F) of the lower base segment. The additional 128
bytes of RAM in this device are memory mapped at address locations 0100 through 017F.
Figure 9. RAM Organization
Virtual EEPROM
The Flash memory and the User ISP functions (see Section 5.7), provide the user with the capability to use the
flash program memory to back up user defined sections of RAM. This effectively provides the user with the same
nonvolatile data storage as EEPROM. Management, and even the amount of memory used, are the
responsibility of the user, however the flash memory read and write functions have been provided in the boot
ROM.
One typical method of using the Virtual EEPROM feature would be for the user to copy the data to RAM during
system initialization, periodically, and if necessary, erase the page of Flash and copy the contents of the RAM
back to the Flash.
OPTION REGISTER
The Option register, located at address 0x3FFF (hex) in the Flash Program Memory, is used to configure the
user selectable security, WATCHDOG, and HALT options. The register can be programmed only in external
Flash Memory programming or ISP Programming modes. Therefore, the register must be programmed at the
same time as the program memory. The contents of the Option register shipped from the factory read 00 Hex.
The format of the Option register is as follows:

The COP8 assembler defines a special ROM section type, CONF, into which the Option Register data may be
coded. The Option Register is programmed automatically by programmers that are certified by TI.
The user needs to ensure that the FLEX bit will be set when the device is programmed.
The following examples illustrate the declaration of the Option Register.
Syntax:
[label:].sect config, conf
.db value ;1 byte,
;configures
;options
.endsect
Example: The following sets a value in the Option Register and User Identification for a COP8CBE9HVA7. The

and execution will commence from Flash Memory.

.sect option, conf
.db 0x01 ;wd, halt, flex
.endsect
...
.end start
Note: All programmers certified for programming this family of parts will support programming of the Option
Register. Please contact TI or your device programmer supplier for more information.
SECURITY
The device has a security feature which, when enabled, prevents external reading of the Flash program memory.
The security bit in the Option Register determines, whether security is enabled or disabled. If the security feature
is disabled, the contents of the internal Flash Memory may be read by external programmers or by the built in
MICROWIRE/PLUS serial interface ISP. Security must be enforced by the user when the contents of the
Flash Memory are accessed via the user ISP or Virtual EEPROM capability.
If the security feature is enabled, then any attempt to externally read the contents of the Flash Memory will result
in the value FF (hex) being read from all program locations (except the Option Register). In addition, with the
security feature enabled, the write operation to the Flash program memory and Option Register is inhibited. Page
Erases are also inhibited when the security feature is enabled. The Option Register is readable regardless of the
state of the security bit by accessing location FFFF (hex). Mass Erase Operations are possible regardless of the
state of the security bit.

The security bit can be erased only by a Mass Erase of the entire contents of the Flash unless Flash operation is
under the control of User ISP functions.
Note: The actual memory address of the Option Register is 0x3FFF (hex), however the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP
routines require the address FFFF (hex) to be used to read the Option Register when the Flash Memory is
secured.
The entire Option Register must be programmed at one time and cannot be rewritten without first erasing the
entire last page of Flash Memory.

The device comes out of reset with both the WATCHDOG logic and the Clock Monitor detector armed,
with the WATCHDOG service window bits set and the Clock Monitor bit set. The WATCHDOG and Clock
Monitor circuits are inhibited during reset. The WATCHDOG service window bits, being initialized high,
default to the maximum WATCHDOG service window of 64k T0 clock cycles. The Clock Monitor bit being
initialized high will cause a Clock Monitor error following reset if the clock has not reached the minimum
specified frequency at the termination of reset. A Clock Monitor error will cause an active low error output
on pin G1. This error output will continue until 16–32 T0 clock cycles following the clock frequency
reaching the minimum specified value, at which time the G1 output will go high.
External Reset
The RESET input, when pulled low, initializes the device. The RESET pin must be held low for a minimum of one
instruction cycle to ensure a valid reset.
RESET may also be used to cause an exit from the HALT mode.
A recommended reset circuit for this device is shown in Figure 11.

VCC reaches a value greater than Vbor, the Idle Timer starts counting down. Upon underflow of the Idle Timer, the
internal reset is released and the device will start executing instructions. This internal reset will perform the same
functions as external reset. Once VCC is above the Vbor and this initial Idle Timer time-out takes place, instruction
execution begins and the Idle Timer can be used normally. If, however, VCC drops below the selected Vbor, an
internal reset is generated, and the Idle Timer is preset with 00Fx. The device now waits until VCC is greater than
Vbor and the countdown starts over. The functional operation of the device, at frequency, is ensured down to the
Vbor level.

Figure 12. Brownout Reset Operation
One exception to the above is that the brownout circuit will insert a delay of approximately 3 ms on power up or
any time the VCC drops below a voltage of about 1.8V. The device will be held in Reset for the duration of this
delay before the Idle Timer starts counting the 240 to 256 tC. This delay starts as soon as VCC rises above the
trigger voltage (approximately 1.8V). This behavior is shown in Figure 12.
In Case 1, VCC rises from 0V and the on-chip RESET is undefined until the supply is greater than approximately
1.0V. At this time the brownout circuit becomes active and holds the device in RESET. As the supply passes a
level of about 1.8V, a delay of about 3 ms (td) is started and the Idle Timer is preset to a value between 00F0
and 00FF (hex). Once VCC is greater than Vbor and tdhas expired, the Idle Timer is allowed to count down (tid).
Case 2 shows a subsequent dip in the supply voltage which goes below the approximate 1.8V level. As VCC
drops below Vbor, the internal RESET signal is asserted. When VCC rises back above the 1.8V level, tdis started.
Since the power supply rise time is longer for this case, tdhas expired before VCC rises above Vbor and tid starts
immediately when VCC is greater than Vbor.
Case 3 shows a dip in the supply where VCC drops below Vbor, but not below 1.8V. On-chip RESET is asserted
when VCC goes below Vbor and tidstarts as soon as the supply goes back above Vbor.
The internal reset will not be turned off until the Idle Timer underflows. The internal reset will perform the same
functions as external reset. The device is ensured to operate at the specified frequency down to the specified
brownout voltage. After the underflow, the logic is designed such that no additional internal resets occur as long
as VCC remains above the brownout voltage.
The device is relatively immune to short duration negative-going VCC transients (glitches). It is essential that good
filtering of VCC be done to ensure that the brownout feature works correctly. Power supply decoupling is vital
even in battery powered systems.
There are two optional brownout voltages. The part numbers for the two versions of this device are:
COP8CBE, Vbor = low voltage range
COP8CCE, Vbor = high voltage range
Refer to the device specifications for the actual Vborvoltages.
High brownout voltage devices are ensured to operate at 10MHz down to the high brownout voltage. Low
brownout voltage devices are ensured to operate at 3.33MHz down to the low brownout voltage. Low brownout
voltage devices are not ensured to operate at 10MHz down to the low brownout voltage.
Under no circumstances should the RESET pin be allowed to float. If only the on-chip Brownout Reset feature is
being used, the RESETpin should be connected directly to VCC. The RESETinput may also be connected to an
external pull-up resistor or to other external circuitry. The output of the brownout reset detector will always preset
the Idle Timer to a value between 00F0 and 00FF (240 to 256 tC). At this time, the internal reset will be
generated.

OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS
The device has two crystal oscillators to facilitate low power operation while maintaining throughput when
required. Further information on the use of the two oscillators is found in Section 7.0 Power Saving Features.
The low speed oscillator utilizes the L0 and L1 port pins. References in the following text to CKI will also apply to
L0 and references to G7/CKO will also apply to L1.
Oscillator
CKI is the clock input while G7/CKO is the clock generator output to the crystal. An on-chip bias resistor
connected between CKI and CKO is provided to reduce system part count. The value of the resistor is in the
range of 0.5M to 2M (typically 1.0M). Table 4 shows the component values required for various standard crystal
values. Resistor R2 is on-chip, for the high speed oscillator, and is shown for reference.Figure 14 shows the
crystal oscillator connection diagram. A ceramic resonator of the required frequency may be used in place of a
crystal if the accuracy requirements are not quite as strict.

The crystal and other oscillator components should be placed in close proximity to the CKI and CKO pins to
minimize printed circuit trace length.
The values for the external capacitors should be chosen to obtain the manufacturer's specified load capacitance
for the crystal when combined with the parasitic capacitance of the trace, socket, and package (which can vary
from 0 to 8 pF). The guideline in choosing these capacitors is:
Manufacturer's specified load cap = (C1* C2) / (C1+ C2)+Cparasitic
C2can be trimmed to obtain the desired frequency. C2should be less than or equal to C1.
Note: The low power design of the low speed oscillator makes it extremely sensitive to board layout and load
capacitance. The user should place the crystal and load capacitors within 1cm. of the device and must ensure
that the above equation for load capacitance is strictly followed. If these conditions are not met, the application
may have problems with startup of the low speed oscillator.

Clock Doubler
This device contains a frequency doubler that doubles the frequency of the oscillator selected to operate the
main microcontroller core. The details of how to select either the high speed oscillator or low speed oscillator are
described in, Power Saving Features. When the high speed oscillator connected to CKI operates at 10 MHz, the
internal clock frequency is 20 MHz, resulting in an instruction cycle time of 0.5 µs. When the 32 kHz oscillator
connected to L0 and L1 is selected, the internal clock frequency is 64 kHz, resulting in an instruction cycle of
152.6 µs. The output of the clock doubler is called MCLK and is referenced in many places within this document.

In-System Programming
INTRODUCTION
This device provides the capability to program the program memory while installed in an application board. This
feature is called In System Programming (ISP). It provides a means of ISP by using the MICROWIRE/PLUS, or
the user can provide his own, customized ISP routine. The factory installed ISP uses the MICROWIRE/PLUS
port. The user can provide his own ISP routine that uses any of the capabilities of the device, such as USART,
parallel port, etc.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The organization of the ISP feature consists of the user flash program memory, the factory boot ROM, and some
registers dedicated to performing the ISP function. See Figure 16 for a simplified block diagram. The factory
installed ISP that uses MICROWIRE/PLUS is located in the Boot ROM. The size of the Boot ROM is 1k bytes
and also contains code to facilitate in system emulation capability. If a user chooses to write his own ISP routine,
it must be located in the flash program memory.
Figure 16. Block Diagram of ISP
As described in OPTION REGISTER, there is a bit, FLEX, that controls whether the device exits RESET
executing from the flash memory or the Boot ROM. The user must program the FLEX bit as appropriate for the
application. In the erased state, the FLEX bit = 0 and the device will power-up executing from Boot ROM. When
FLEX = 0, this assumes that either the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine or external programming is being used to
program the device. If using the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine, the software in the boot ROM will monitor the
MICROWIRE/PLUS for commands to program the flash memory. When programming the flash program memory
is complete, the FLEX bit will have to be programmed to a 1 and the device will have to be reset, either by
pulling external Reset to ground or by a MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP EXIT command, before execution from flash
program memory will occur.
If FLEX = 1, upon exiting Reset, the device will begin executing from location 0000 in the flash program memory.
The assumption, here, is that either the application is not using ISP, is using MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP by jumping
to it within the application code, or is using a customized ISP routine. If a customized ISP routine is being used,
then it must be programmed into the flash memory by means of the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP or external
programming as described in the preceding paragraph.
REGISTERS
There are six registers required to support ISP: Address Register Hi byte (ISPADHI), Address Register Low byte
(ISPADLO), Read Data Register (ISPRD), Write Data Register (ISPWR), Write Timing Register (PGMTIM), and
the Control Register (ISPCNTRL). The ISPCNTRL Register is not available to the user.

ISP Address Registers
The address registers (ISPADHI & ISPADLO) are used to specify the address of the byte of data being written or
read. For page erase operations, the address of the beginning of the page should be loaded. For mass erase
operations, 0000 must be placed into the address registers. When reading the Option register, FFFF (hex)
should be placed into the address registers. Registers ISPADHI and ISPADLO are cleared to 00 on Reset.
These registers can be loaded from either flash program memory or Boot ROM and must be maintained for the
entire duration of the operation.
Note: The actual memory address of the Option Register is 0x3FFF (hex), however the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP
routines require the address FFFF (hex) to be used to read the Option Register when the Flash Memory is
secured.

Write Data register must be maintained for the entire duration of the operation.

ISP Write Timing Register
The Write Timing Register (PGMTIM) is used to control the width of the timing pulses for write and erase
operations. The value to be written into this register is dependent on the frequency of CKI and is shown in
Table 10. This register must be written before any write or erase operation can take place. It only needs to be
loaded once, for each value of CKI frequency. This register can be loaded from either flash program memory or
Boot ROM and must be maintained for the entire duration of the operation. The MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine
that is resident in the boot ROM requires that this Register be defined prior to any access to the Flash memory.
Refer to MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP for more information on available ISP commands. On Reset, the PGMTIM
register is loaded with the value that corresponds to 10 MHz frequency for CKI.

MANEUVERING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FLASH MEMORY AND BOOT ROM
When using ISP, at some point, it will be necessary to maneuver between the flash program memory and the
Boot ROM, even when using customized ISP routines. This is because it's not possible to execute from the flash
program memory while it's being programmed.
Two instructions are available to perform the task of jumping back and forth: Jump to Boot (JSRB) and Return to
Flash (RETF). The JSRB instruction is used to jump from flash memory to Boot ROM, and the RETF is used to
return from the Boot ROM back to the flash program memory. See Instruction Set for specific details on the
operation of these instructions.
The JSRB instruction must be used in conjunction with the Key register. This is to prevent jumping to the Boot
ROM in the event of run-away software. For the JSRB instruction to actually jump to the Boot ROM, the Key bit
must be set. This is done by writing the value shown in Table 11 to the Key register. The Key is a 6 bit key and if
the key matches, the KEY bit will be set for 8 instruction cycles. The JSRB instruction must be executed while
the KEY bit is set. If the KEY does not match, then the KEY bit will not be set and the JSRB will jump to the
specified location in the flash memory. In emulation mode, if a breakpoint is encountered while the KEY is set,
the counter that counts the instruction cycles will be frozen until the breakpoint condition is cleared. If an interrupt
occurs while the key is set, the key will expire before interrupt service is complete. It is recommended that the
software globally disable interrupts before setting the key and re-enable interrupts on completion of Boot
ROM execution. The Key register is a memory mapped register. Its format when writing is shown in Table 11.

FORCED EXECUTION FROM BOOT ROM
When the user is developing a customized ISP routine, code lockups due to software errors may be
encountered. The normal, and preferred, method to recover from these conditions is to reprogram the device with
the corrected code by either an external parallel programmer or the emulation tools. As a last resort, when this
equipment is not available, there is a hardware method to get out of these lockups and force execution from the
Boot ROM MICROWIRE/PLUS routine. The customer will then be able to erase the Flash Memory code and start
over.
The method to force this condition is to drive the G6 pin to high voltage (2 x VCC) and activate Reset. The high
voltage condition on G6 must not be applied before VCC is valid and stable, and must be held for at least 3
instruction cycles longer than Reset is active. This special condition will bypass checking the state of the Flex bit
in the Option Register and will start execution from location 0000 in the Boot ROM. In this state, the user can
input the appropriate commands, using MICROWIRE/PLUS, to erase the flash program memory and reprogram
it. If the device is subsequently reset before the Flex bit has been erased by specific Page Erase or Mass Erase
ISP commands, execution will start from location 0000 in the Flash program memory. The high voltage (2 x VCC)
on G6 will not erase either the Flex or the Security bit in the Option Register. The Security bit, if set, can only be
erased by a Mass Erase of the entire contents of the Flash Memory unless under the control of User ISP
routines in the Application Program.
While the G6 pin is at high voltage, the Load Clock will be output onto G5, which will look like an SK clock to the
MICROWIRE/PLUS routine executing in slave mode. However, when G6 is at high voltage, the G6 input will also
look like a logic 1. The MICROWIRE/PLUS routine in Boot ROM monitors the G6 input, waits for it to go low,
debounces it, and then enables the ISP routine. CAUTION: The Load clock on G5 could be in conflict with the
user's external SK. It is up to the user to resolve this conflict, as this condition is considered a minor issue that's
only encountered during software development. The user should also be cautious of the high voltage
applied to the G6 pin. This high voltage could damage other circuitry connected to the G6 pin (e.g. the
parallel port of a PC). The user may wish to disconnect other circuitry while G6 is connected to the high
voltage.
VCC must be valid and stable before high voltage is applied to G6.
The correct sequence to be used to force execution from Boot ROM is :
1. Disconnect G6 from the source of data for MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP.
2. Apply VCC to the device.
3. Pull RESET Low.
4. After VCC is valid and stable, connect a voltage between 2 x VCC and VCC+7V to the G6 pin. Ensure that the
rise time of the high voltage on G6 is slower than the minimum in the Electrical Specifications. Figure 17
shows a possible circuit dliagram for implementing the 2 x VCC. Be aware of the typical input current on the
G6 pin when the high voltage is applied. The resistor used in the RC network, and the high voltage used,
should be chosen to keep the high voltage at the G6 pin between 2 x VCC and VCC+7V.
5. Pull RESET High.
6. After a delay of at least three instruction cycles, remove the high voltage from G6.

RETURN TO FLASH MEMORY WITHOUT HARDWARE RESET
After programming the entire program memory, including options, it is necessary to exit the Boot ROM and return
to the flash program memory for program execution. Upon receipt and completion of the EXIT command through
the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP, the ISP code will reset the part and begin execution from the flash program memory
as described in the Reset section. This assumes that the FLEX bit in the Option register was programmed to 1.
MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP
TI provides a program, which is available from our web site at www.ti.com, that is capable of programming a
device from the parallel port of a PC. The software accepts manually input commands and is capable of
downloading standard Intel HEX Format files.
Users who wish to write their own MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP host software should refer to the COP8 FLASH ISP
User Manual, available from the same web site. This document includes details of command format and delays
necessary between command bytes.
The MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP supports the following features and commands:
Write a value to the ISP Write Timing Register. NOTE: This must be the first command after entering
MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP mode.
Erase the entire flash program memory (mass erase).
Erase a page at a specified address.

RESTRICTIONS ON SOFTWARE WHEN CALLING ISP ROUTINES IN BOOT ROM
1. The hardware will disable interrupts from occurring. The hardware will leave the GIE bit in its current state,
and if set, the hardware interrupts will occur when execution is returned to Flash Memory. Subsequent
interrupts, during ISP operation, from the same interrupt source will be lost. Interrupts may occur between
setting the KEY and executing the JSRB instruction. In this case, the KEY will expire before the JSRB
is executed. It is, therefore, recommended that the software globally disable interrupts before setting
the Key.
2. The security feature in the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP is ensured by software and not hardware. When
executing the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine, the security bit is checked prior to performing all instructions.
Only the mass erase command, write PGMTIM register, and reading the Option register is permitted within
the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine. When the user is performing his own ISP, all commands are permitted.
The entry points from the user's ISP code do not check for security. It is the burden of the user to ensure his
own security. See the Security bit description in OPTION REGISTER for more details on security.
3. When using any of the ISP functions in Boot ROM, the ISP routines will service the WATCHDOG within the
selected upper window. Upon return to flash memory, the WATCHDOG is serviced, the lower window is
enabled, and the user can service the WATCHDOG anytime following exit from Boot ROM, but must service
it within the selected upper window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
4. Block Writes can start anywhere in the page of Flash memory, but cannot cross half page or full page
boundaries.
5. The user must ensure that a page erase or a mass erase is executed between two consecutive writes
to the same location in Flash memory. Two writes to the same location without an intervening erase
will produce unpredicatable results including possible disturbance of unassociated locations.
FLASH MEMORY DURABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
The endurance of the Flash Memory (number of possible Erase/Write cycles) is a function of the erase time and
the lowest temperature at which the erasure occurs. If the device is to be used at low temperature, additional
erase operations can be used to extend the erase time. The user can determine how many times to erase a
page based on what endurance is desired for the application (e.g. four page erase cycles, each time a page
erase is done, may be required to achieve the typical 100k Erase/Write cycles in an application which may be
operating down to 0°C). Also, the customer can verify that the entire page is erased, with software, and request
additional erase operations if desired.

Timers
The device contains a very versatile set of timers (T0, T1 and T2). Timers T1 and T2 and associated
autoreload/capture registers power up containing random data.
TIMER T0 (IDLE TIMER)
The device supports applications that require maintaining real time and low power with the IDLE mode. This
IDLE mode support is furnished by the IDLE Timer T0, which is a 16-bit timer. The user cannot read or write to
the IDLE Timer T0, which is a count down timer.
As described in Power Saving Features , the clock to the IDLE Timer depends on which mode the device is in. If
the device is in High Speed mode, the clock to the IDLE Timer is the instruction cycle clock (one-fifth of the CKI
frequency). If the device is in Dual Clock mode or Low Speed mode, the clock to the IDLE Timer is the 32 kHz
clock. For the remainder of this section, the term “selected clock” will refer to the clock selected by the Power
Save mode of the device. During Dual Clock and Low Speed modes, the divide by 10 that creates the instruction
cycle clock is disabled, to minimize power consumption.
In addition to its time base function, the Timer T0 supports the following functions:
Exit out of the Idle Mode (See Idle Mode description)
WATCHDOG logic (See WATCHDOG description)
Start up delay out of the HALT mode
Start up delay from BOR
Figure 18 is a functional block diagram showing the structure of the IDLE Timer and its associated interrupt logic.
Bits 11 through 15 of the ITMR register can be selected for triggering the IDLE Timer interrupt. Each time the
selected bit underflows (every 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k or 64k selected clocks), the IDLE Timer interrupt pending bit
T0PND is set, thus generating an interrupt (if enabled), and bit 6 of the Port G data register is reset, thus causing
an exit from the IDLE mode if the device is in that mode.
In order for an interrupt to be generated, the IDLE Timer interrupt enable bit T0EN must be set, and the GIE
(Global Interrupt Enable) bit must also be set. The T0PND flag and T0EN bit are bits 5 and 4 of the ICNTRL
register, respectively. The interrupt can be used for any purpose. Typically, it is used to perform a task upon exit
from the IDLE mode. For more information on the IDLE mode, refer to Power Saving Features .
The Idle Timer period is selected by bits 0–2 of the ITMR register Bit 3 of the ITMR Register is reserved and
should not be used as a software flag. Bits 4 through 7 of the ITMR Register are used by the dual clock and are
described in Power Saving Features .

TIMER T1 AND TIMER T2
The device has a set of two powerful timer/counter blocks, T1 and T2. Since T1 and T2 are identical, except for
the high speed operation of T2, all comments are equally applicable to either of the two timer blocks which will
be referred to as Tx. Differences between the timers will be specifically noted.
Each timer block consists of a 16-bit timer, Tx, and two supporting 16-bit autoreload/capture registers, RxA and
RxB. Each timer block has two pins associated with it, TxA and TxB. The pin TxA supports I/O required by the
timer block, while the pin TxB is an input to the timer block. The timer block has three operating modes:
Processor Independent PWM mode, External Event Counter mode, and Input Capture mode.
The control bits TxC3, TxC2, and TxC1 allow selection of the different modes of operation.
Timer Operating Speeds
Each of the Tx timers, except T1, have the ability to operate at either the instruction cycle frequency (low speed)
or the internal clock frequency (MCLK). For 10 MHz CKI, the instruction cycle frequency is 2 MHz and the
internal clock frequency is 20 MHz. This feature is controlled by the High Speed Timer Control Register, HSTCR.
Its format is shown below. To place a timer, Tx, in high speed mode, set the appropriate TxHS bit to 1. For low
speed operation, clear the appropriate TxHS bit to 0. This register is cleared to 00 on Reset.
HSTCR
Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
0000000T2HS
Mode 1. Processor Independent PWM Mode
One of the timer's operating modes is the Processor Independent PWM mode. In this mode, the timers generate
a “Processor Independent” PWM signal because once the timer is set up, no more action is required from the
CPU which translates to less software overhead and greater throughput. The user software services the timer
block only when the PWM parameters require updating. This capability is provided by the fact that the timer has
two separate 16-bit reload registers. One of the reload registers contains the “ON” time while the other holds the
“OFF” time. By contrast, a microcontroller that has only a single reload register requires an additional software to
update the reload value (alternate between the on-time/off-time).
The timer can generate the PWM output with the width and duty cycle controlled by the values stored in the
reload registers. The reload registers control the countdown values and the reload values are automatically
written into the timer when it counts down through 0, generating interrupt on each reload. Under software control
and with minimal overhead, the PWM outputs are useful in controlling motors, triacs, the intensity of displays,
and in providing inputs for data acquisition and sine wave generators.
In this mode, the timer Tx counts down at a fixed rate of tC(T2 may be selected to operate from MCLK). Upon
every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with the contents of supporting registers, RxA and RxB. The
very first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from the register RxA. Subsequent underflows cause
the timer to be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the register RxB.
Figure 19 shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the TxA output pin. The underflows can also be programmed to
generate interrupts.
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The user must
reset these pending flags under software control. Two control enable flags, TxENA and TxENB, allow the
interrupts from the timer underflow to be enabled or disabled. Setting the timer enable flag TxENA will cause an
interrupt when a timer underflow causes the RxA register to be reloaded into the timer. Setting the timer enable
flag TxENB will cause an interrupt when a timer underflow causes the RxB register to be reloaded into the timer.
Resetting the timer enable flags will disable the associated interrupts.
Either or both of the timer underflow interrupts may be enabled. This gives the user the flexibility of interrupting
once per PWM period on either the rising or falling edge of the PWM output. Alternatively, the user may choose
to interrupt on both edges of the PWM output.

Figure 19. Timer in PWM Mode
If Timer T2 is used in High Speed PWM mode and an SBIT or RBIT instruction operates on any other bit of the
PORT L Data Register, the PWM output may appear to miss a toggle and thus be inverted. If the timer causes
the PWM output to toggle in the middle of an SBIT or RBIT operation on the PORTLD Register, the PWM output
may be set back to its state before the output toggle by the operation of the SBIT/RBIT. This can have the effect
of generating a shortened pulse (less than one instruction cycle in width) on the PWM output and inverting the
PWM duty cycle. If the PWM Timer is used in low speed mode or if the PWM output toggle is synchronous with
the end of the instruction cycle, this problem is not seen. The following figure illustrates the PWM output when
the failure is seen. The user should be aware of the state of Timer T2 before any SBIT or RBIT instructions are
executed which operate on the PORTLD register. If the PWM output is close to toggling, the user should delay
the SBIT or RBIT instruction. The following program sequence works to delay the operation. The user may wish
to experiment with other sequences to see which best fits the application and to make sure that the time between
the completion of the tests and the modification of PORTLD is not too long.

JP GOOD ;WE HAVE TIME
WAIT: IFBIT 6,[B] ;TEST BIT 6 OF THE TIMER
JP GOOD ;TIME TO GET IT DONE SAFELY
JP WAIT ;WAIT A WHILE
SBIT 2,PORTLD ;GO AHEAD AND SET THE BIT
The above program uses specific bits of the port for explanation purposes only. The above program uses the
SBIT instruction by way of example. The RBIT instruction will have the same effect. The above sequence will not
work properly for PWM times shorter than 64 CPU Clock cycles.
Mode 2. External Event Counter Mode
This mode is quite similar to the processor independent PWM mode described above. The main difference is that
the timer, Tx, is clocked by the input signal from the TxA pin after synchronization to the appropriate internal
clock (tCor MCLK). The Tx timer control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1 allow the timer to be clocked either on a
positive or negative edge from the TxA pin. Underflows from the timer are latched into the TxPNDA pending flag.
Setting the TxENA control flag will cause an interrupt when the timer underflows.
In this mode the input pin TxB can be used as an independent positive edge sensitive interrupt input if the
TxENB control flag is set. The occurrence of a positive edge on the TxB input pin is latched into the TxPNDB
flag.
Figure 20 shows a block diagram of the timer in External Event Counter mode.
Note: The PWM output is not available in this mode since the TxA pin is being used as the counter input clock.

Figure 20. Timer in External Event Counter Mode
Mode 3. Input Capture Mode
The device can precisely measure external frequencies or time external events by placing the timer block, Tx, in
the input capture mode. In this mode, the reload registers serve as independent capture registers, capturing the
contents of the timer when an external event occurs (transition on the timer input pin). The capture registers can
be read while maintaining count, a feature that lets the user measure elapsed time and time between events. By
saving the timer value when the external event occurs, the time of the external event is recorded. Most
microcontrollers have a latency time because they cannot determine the timer value when the external event
occurs. The capture register eliminates the latency time, thereby allowing the applications program to retrieve the
timer value stored in the capture register.
In this mode, the timer Tx is constantly running at the fixed tCor MCLK rate. The two registers, RxA and RxB, act
as capture registers. Each register also acts in conjunction with a pin. The register RxA acts in conjunction with
the TxA pin and the register RxB acts in conjunction with the TxB pin.
The timer value gets copied over into the register when a trigger event occurs on its corresponding pin after
synchronization to the appropriate internal clock (tCor MCLK). Control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1, allow the
trigger events to be specified either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger condition for each input pin can
be specified independently.
The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger
condition on the TxA and TxB pins will be respectively latched into the pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The
control flag TxENA allows the interrupt on TxA to be either enabled or disabled. Setting the TxENA flag enables
interrupts to be generated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the TxA pin. Similarly, the flag TxENB
controls the interrupts from the TxB pin.
Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to generate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer
TxC0 pending flag (the TxC0 control bit serves as the timer underflow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture
mode). Consequently, the TxC0 control bit should be reset when entering the Input Capture mode. The timer
underflow interrupt is enabled with the TxENA control flag. When a TxA interrupt occurs in the Input Capture
mode, the user must check both the TxPNDA and TxC0 pending flags in order to determine whether a TxA input
capture or a timer underflow (or both) caused the interrupt.
Figure 21 shows a block diagram of the timer T1 in Input Capture mode. T2 is identical to T1.

The timer mode control bits (TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1) are detailed in Table 17,Timer Operating Modes.
When the high speed timers are counting in high speed mode, directly altering the contents of the timer upper or
lower registers, the PWM outputs or the reload registers is not recommended. Bit operations can be particularly
problematic. Since any of these six registers or the PWM outputs can change as many as ten times in a single
instruction cycle, performing an SBIT or RBIT operation with the timer running can produce unpredictable results.
The recommended procedure is to stop the timer, perform any changes to the timer, the PWM outputs or reload
register values, and then re-start the timer. This warning does not apply to the timer control register. Any type of
read/write operation, including SBIT and RBIT may be performed on this register in any operating mode.

Power Saving Features
Today, the proliferation of battery-operated applications has placed new demands on designers to drive power
consumption down. Battery operated systems are not the only type of applications demanding low power. The
power budget constraints are also imposed on those consumer/industrial applications where well regulated and
expensive power supply costs cannot be tolerated. Such applications rely on low cost and low power supply
voltage derived directly from the “mains” by using voltage rectifier and passive components. Low power is
demanded even in automotive applications, due to increased vehicle electronics content. This is required to ease
the burden from the car battery. Low power 8-bit microcontrollers supply the smarts to control battery-operated,
consumer/industrial, and automotive applications.
The device offers system designers a variety of low-power consumption features that enable them to meet the
demanding requirements of today's increasing range of low-power applications. These features include low
voltage operation, low current drain, and power saving features such as HALT, IDLE, and Multi-Input Wake-Up
(MIWU).
This device supports three operating modes, each of which have two power save modes of operation. The three
operating modes are: High Speed, Dual Clock, and Low Speed. Within each operating mode, the two power save
modes are: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode of operation, all microcontroller activities are stopped and power
consumption is reduced to a very low level. In this device, the HALT mode is enabled and disabled by a bit in the
Option register. The IDLE mode is similar to the HALT mode, except that certain sections of the device continue
to operate, such as: the on-board oscillator, the IDLE Timer (Timer T0), and the Clock Monitor. This allows real
time to be maintained. During power save modes of operation, all on board RAM, registers, I/O states and timers
(with the exception of T0) are unaltered.
Two oscillators are used to support the three different operating modes. The high speed oscillator refers to the
oscillator connected to CKI and the low speed oscillator refers to the 32 kHz oscillator connected to pins L0 & L1.
When using L0 and L1 for the low speed oscillator, the user must ensure that the L0 and L1 pins are configured
for hi-Z input, L1 is not using CKX on the USART, and Multi-Input Wake-up for these pins is disabled.
A diagram of the three modes is shown in Figure 22.

OSCILLATOR STABILIZATION
Both the high speed oscillator and low speed oscillator have a startup delay associated with them. When
switching between the modes, the software must ensure that the appropriate oscillator is started up and
stabilized before switching to the new mode. See Table 5 , Startup Times for approximate startup times for both
oscillators.
HIGH SPEED MODE OPERATION
This mode of operation allows high speed operation for both the main Core clock and also for the Idle Timer.
This is the default mode of the device and will always be entered upon any of the Reset conditions described in
the Reset section. It can also be entered from Dual Clock mode. It cannot be directly entered from the Low
Speed mode without passing through the Dual Clock mode first.
To enter from the Dual Clock mode, the following sequence must be followed using two separate instructions:
1. Software clears DCEN to 0.
2. Software clears LSON to 0.
High Speed Halt Mode
The fully static architecture of this device allows the state of the microcontroller to be frozen. This is
accomplished by stopping the internal clock of the device during the HALT mode. The controller also stops the
CKI pin from oscillating during the HALT mode. The processor can be forced to exit the HALT mode and resume
normal operation at any time.
During normal operation, the actual power consumption depends heavily on the clock speed and operating
voltage used in an application and is shown in the Electrical Specifications. In the HALT mode, the device only
draws a small leakage current, plus current for the BOR feature, plus any current necessary for driving the
outputs. Since total power consumption is affected by the amount of current required to drive the outputs, all I/Os
should be configured to draw minimal current prior to entering the HALT mode, if possible. In order to reduce
power consumption even further, the power supply (VCC) can be reduced to a very low level during the HALT
mode, just high enough to ensure retention of data stored in RAM. The allowed lower voltage level (VR) is
specified in the Electrical Specs section.
ENTERING THE HIGH SPEED HALT MODE
The device enters the HALT mode under software control when the Port G data register bit 7 is set to 1. All
processor action stops in the middle of the next instruction cycle, and power consumption is reduced to a very
low level.
EXITING THE HIGH SPEED HALT MODE
There is a choice of methods for exiting the HALT mode: a chip Reset using theRESET pin or a Multi-Input
Wake-up.
HALT EXIT USING RESET
A device Reset, which is invoked by a low-level signal on theRESET input pin, takes the device out of the HALT
mode and starts execution from address 0000H. The initialization software should determine what special action
is needed, if any, upon start-up of the device from HALT. The initialization of all registers following aRESET exit
from HALT is described in the Reset section of this manual.

HALT EXIT USING MULTI-INPUT WAKE-UP
The device can be brought out of the HALT mode by a transition received on one of the available Wake-up pins.
The pins used and the types of transitions sensed on the Multi-input pins are software programmable. For
information on programming and using the Multi-Input Wake-up feature, refer to the Multi-Input Wake-up section.
A start-up delay is required between the device wake-up and the execution of program instructions, depending
on the type of chip clock. The start-up delay is mandatory, and is implemented whether or not the CLKDLY bit is
set. This is because all crystal oscillators and resonators require some time to reach a stable frequency and full
operating amplitude.
The IDLE Timer (Timer T0) provides a fixed delay from the time the clock is enabled to the time the program
execution begins. Upon exit from the HALT mode, the IDLE Timer is enabled with a starting value of 256 and is
decremented with each instruction cycle. (The instruction clock runs at one-fifth the frequency of the high speed
oscillator.) An internal Schmitt trigger connected to the on-chip CKI inverter ensures that the IDLE Timer is
clocked only when the oscillator has a large enough amplitude. (The Schmitt trigger is not part of the oscillator
closed loop.) When the IDLE Timer underflows, the clock signals are enabled on the chip, allowing program
execution to proceed. Thus, the delay is equal to 256 instruction cycles.
Note: To ensure accurate operation upon start-up of the device using Multi-input Wake-up, the instruction in the
application program used for entering the HALT mode should be followed by two consecutive NOP (no-
operation) instructions.
OPTIONS
This device has two options associated with the HALT mode. The first option enables the HALT mode feature,
while the second option disables HALT mode operation. Selecting the disable HALT mode option will cause the
microcontroller to ignore any attempts to HALT the device under software control. Note that this device can still
be placed in the HALT mode by stopping the clock input to the microcontroller, if the program memory is masked
ROM. See the Option section for more details on this option bit.
Figure 23. Wake-up from HALT
High Speed Idle Mode
In the IDLE mode, program execution stops and power consumption is reduced to a very low level as with the
HALT mode. However, the high speed oscillator, IDLE Timer (Timer T0), and Clock Monitor continue to operate,
allowing real time to be maintained. The device remains idle for a selected amount of time up to 65,536
instruction cycles, or 32.768 milliseconds with a 2 MHz instruction clock frequency, and then automatically exits
the IDLE mode and returns to normal program execution.
The device is placed in the IDLE mode under software control by setting the IDLE bit (bit 6 of the Port G data
register).
The IDLE Timer window is selectable from one of five values, 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k or 64k instruction cycles. Selection
of this value is made through the ITMR register.

The IDLE mode uses the on-chip IDLE Timer (Timer T0) to keep track of elapsed time in the IDLE state. The
IDLE Timer runs continuously at the instruction clock rate, whether or not the device is in the IDLE mode. Each
time the bit of the timer associated with the selected window toggles, the T0PND bit is set, an interrupt is
generated (if enabled), and the device exits the IDLE mode if in that mode. If the IDLE Timer interrupt is enabled,
the interrupt is serviced before execution of the main program resumes. (However, the instruction which was
started as the part entered the IDLE mode is completed before the interrupt is serviced. This instruction should
be a NOP which should follow the enter IDLE instruction.) The user must reset the IDLE Timer pending flag
(T0PND) before entering the IDLE mode.
As with the HALT mode, this device can also be returned to normal operation with a reset, or with a Multi-Input
Wake-up input. Upon reset the ITMR register is cleared and the ITMR register selects the 4,096 instruction cycle
tap of the Idle Timer.
The IDLE Timer cannot be started or stopped under software control, and it is not memory mapped, so it cannot
be read or written by the software. Its state upon Reset is unknown. Therefore, if the device is put into the IDLE
mode at an arbitrary time, it will stay in the IDLE mode for somewhere between 1 and the selected number of
instruction cycles.
In order to precisely time the duration of the IDLE state, entry into the IDLE mode must be synchronized to the
state of the IDLE Timer. The best way to do this is to use the IDLE Timer interrupt, which occurs on every
underflow of the bit of the IDLE Timer which is associated with the selected window. Another method is to poll
the state of the IDLE Timer pending bit T0PND, which is set on the same occurrence. The Idle Timer interrupt is
enabled by setting bit T0EN in the ICNTRL register.
Any time the IDLE Timer window length is changed there is the possibility of generating a spurious IDLE Timer
interrupt by setting the T0PND bit. The user is advised to disable IDLE Timer interrupts prior to changing the
value of the ITSEL bits of the ITMR Register and then clear the TOPND bit before attempting to synchronize
operation to the IDLE Timer.
Note: As with the HALT mode, it is necessary to program two NOP's to allow clock resynchronization upon
return from the IDLE mode. The NOP's are placed either at the beginning of the IDLE Timer interrupt routine or
immediately following the “enter IDLE mode” instruction.
For more information on the IDLE Timer and its associated interrupt, see the description in the Timers section.
DUAL CLOCK MODE OPERATION
This mode of operation allows for high speed operation of the Core clock and low speed operation of the Idle
Timer. This mode can be entered from either the High Speed mode or the Low Speed mode.
To enter from the High Speed mode, the following sequence must be followed:
1. Software sets the LSON bit to 1.
2. Software waits until the low speed oscillator has stabilized. See Table 5.
3. Software sets the DCEN bit to 1.
To enter from the Low Speed mode, the following sequence must be followed:
1. Software sets the HSON bit to 1.
2. Software waits until the high speed oscillator has stabilized. See Table 5 , Startup Times.
3. Software clears the CCKSEL bit to 0.
Dual Clock HALT Mode
The fully static architecture of this device allows the state of the microcontroller to be frozen. This is
accomplished by stopping the high speed clock of the device during the HALT mode. The processor can be
forced to exit the HALT mode and resume normal operation at any time. The low speed clock remains on during
HALT in the Dual Clock mode.
During normal operation, the actual power consumption depends heavily on the clock speed and operating
voltage used in an application and is shown in the Electrical Specifications. In the HALT mode, the device only
draws a small leakage current, plus current for the BOR feature, plus the 32 kHz oscillator current, plus any
current necessary for driving the outputs. Since total power consumption is affected by the amount of current
required to drive the outputs, all I/Os should be configured to draw minimal current prior to entering the HALT
mode, if possible.

ENTERING THE DUAL CLOCK HALT MODE
The device enters the HALT mode under software control when the Port G data register bit 7 is set to 1. All
processor action stops in the middle of the next instruction cycle, and power consumption is reduced to a very
low level. In order to expedite exit from HALT, the low speed oscillator is left running when the device is Halted in

EXITING THE DUAL CLOCK HALT MODE
When the HALT mode is entered by setting bit 7 of the Port G data register, there is a choice of methods for
exiting the HALT mode: a chip Reset using theRESET pin or a Multi-Input Wake-up. The Reset method and
Multi-Input Wake-up method can be used with any clock option.
HALT EXIT USING RESET
A device Reset, which is invoked by a low-level signal on theRESET input pin, takes the device out of the Dual
Clock mode and puts it into the High Speed mode.

delay is mandatory, and is implemented whether or not the CLKDLY bit is set. This is because all crystal
oscillators and resonators require some time to reach a stable frequency and full operating amplitude.

clock.
Note: To ensure accurate operation upon start-up of the device using Multi-input Wake-up, the instruction in the
application program used for entering the HALT mode should be followed by two consecutive NOP (no-
operation) instructions.
OPTIONS
This device has two options associated with the HALT mode. The first option enables the HALT mode feature,
while the second option disables HALT mode operation. Selecting the disable HALT mode option will cause the
microcontroller to ignore any attempts to HALT the device under software control. See OPTION REGISTER for

program execution using the high speed clock.
The device is placed in the IDLE mode under software control by setting the IDLE bit (bit 6 of the Port G data

The IDLE Timer window is selectable from one of five values, 0.125 seconds, 0.25 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1
second and 2 seconds. Selection of this value is made through the ITMR register.

LOW SPEED MODE OPERATION
This mode of operation allows for low speed operation of the core clock and low speed operation of the Idle
Timer. Because the low speed oscillator draws very little operating current, and also to expedite restarting from
HALT mode, the low speed oscillator is left on at all times in this mode, including HALT mode. This is the lowest
power mode of operation on the device. This mode can only be entered from the Dual Clock mode.
To enter the Low Speed mode, the following sequence must be followed using two separate instructions:
1. Software sets the CCKSEL bit to 1.
2. Software clears the HSON bit to 0.
Since the low speed oscillator is already running, there is no clock startup delay.
Low Speed HALT Mode
The fully static architecture of this device allows the state of the microcontroller to be frozen. Because the low
speed oscillator draws very minimal operating current, it will be left running in the low speed halt mode. However,
the Idle Timer will not be running. This also allows for a faster exit from HALT. The processor can be forced to
exit the HALT mode and resume normal operation at any time.
During normal operation, the actual power consumption depends heavily on the clock speed and operating
voltage used in an application and is shown in the Electrical Specifications. In the HALT mode, the device only

Figure 24. Multi-Input Wake-Up Logic
MULTI-INPUT WAKE-UP
The Multi-Input Wake-up feature is used to return (wake-up) the device from either the HALT or IDLE modes.
Alternately Multi-Input Wake-up/Interrupt feature may also be used to generate up to 8 edge selectable external
interrupts.
Figure 24 shows the Multi-Input Wake-up logic.
The Multi-Input Wake-up feature utilizes the L Port. The user selects which particular L port bit (or combination of
L Port bits) will cause the device to exit the HALT or IDLE modes. The selection is done through the register
WKEN. The register WKEN is an 8-bit read/write register, which contains a control bit for every L port bit. Setting
a particular WKEN bit enables a Wake-up from the associated L port pin.

SNOS978J JUNE 2001REVISED MARCH 2013
The user can select whether the trigger condition on the selected L Port pin is going to be either a positive edge
(low to high transition) or a negative edge (high to low transition). This selection is made via the register
WKEDG, which is an 8-bit control register with a bit assigned to each L Port pin. Setting the control bit will select
the trigger condition to be a negative edge on that particular L Port pin. Resetting the bit selects the trigger
condition to be a positive edge. Changing an edge select entails several steps in order to avoid a Wake-up
condition as a result of the edge change. First, the associated WKEN bit should be reset, followed by the edge
select change in WKEDG. Next, the associated WKPND bit should be cleared, followed by the associated WKEN
bit being re-enabled.
An example may serve to clarify this procedure. Suppose we wish to change the edge select from positive (low
going high) to negative (high going low) for L Port bit 5, where bit 5 has previously been enabled for an input
interrupt. The program would be as follows:
RBIT 5, WKEN ; Disable MIWU
SBIT 5, WKEDG ; Change edge polarity
RBIT 5, WKPND ; Reset pending flag
SBIT 5, WKEN ; Enable MIWU
If the L port bits have been used as outputs and then changed to inputs with Multi-Input Wake-up/Interrupt, a
safety procedure should also be followed to avoid wake-up conditions. After the selected L port bits have been
changed from output to input but before the associated WKEN bits are enabled, the associated edge select bits
in WKEDG should be set or reset for the desired edge selects, followed by the associated WKPND bits being
cleared.
This same procedure should be used following reset, since the L port inputs are left floating as a result of reset.
The occurrence of the selected trigger condition for Multi-Input Wake-up is latched into a pending register called
WKPND. The respective bits of the WKPND register will be set on the occurrence of the selected trigger edge on
the corresponding Port L pin. The user has the responsibility of clearing these pending flags. Since WKPND is a
pending register for the occurrence of selected wake-up conditions, the device will not enter the HALT mode if
any Wake-up bit is both enabled and pending. Consequently, the user must clear the pending flags before
attempting to enter the HALT mode.
WKEN and WKEDG are all read/write registers, and are cleared at reset. WKPND register contains random
value after reset.
USART
The device contains a full-duplex software programmable USART. The USART ( Figure 25) consists of a
transmit shift register, a receive shift register and seven addressable registers, as follows: a transmit buffer
register (TBUF), a receiver buffer register (RBUF), a USART control and status register (ENU), a USART receive
control and status register (ENUR), a USART interrupt and clock source register (ENUI), a prescaler select
register (PSR) and baud (BAUD) register. The ENU register contains flags for transmit and receive functions; this
register also determines the length of the data frame (7, 8 or 9 bits), the value of the ninth bit in transmission,
and parity selection bits. The ENUR register flags framing, data overrun, parity errors and line breaks while the
USART is receiving.
Other functions of the ENUR register include saving the ninth bit received in the data frame, enabling or disabling
the USART's attention mode of operation and providing additional receiver/transmitter status information via
RCVG and XMTG bits. The determination of an internal or external clock source is done by the ENUI register, as
well as selecting the number of stop bits and enabling or disabling transmit and receive interrupts. A control flag
in this register can also select the USART mode of operation: asynchronous or synchronous.

ASSOCIATED I/O PINS
Data is transmitted on the TDX pin and received on the RDX pin. TDX is the alternate function assigned to Port L
pin L2; it is selected by setting ETDX (in the ENUI register) to one. RDX is an inherent function Port L pin L3,
requiring no setup. Port L pin L2 must be configured as an output in the Port L Configuration Register in order to
be used as the TDX pin.
The baud rate clock for the USART can be generated on-chip, or can be taken from an external source. Port L
pin L1 (CKX) is the external clock I/O pin. The CKX pin can be either an input or an output, as determined by
Port L Configuration and Data registers (Bit 1). As an input, it accepts a clock signal which may be selected to
drive the transmitter and/or receiver. As an output, it presents the internal Baud Rate Generator output.
Note: The CKX pin is unavailable if Port L1 is used for the Low Speed Oscillator.
USART OPERATION
The USART has two modes of operation: asynchronous mode and synchronous mode.

SNOS978J JUNE 2001REVISED MARCH 2013
Asynchronous Mode
This mode is selected by resetting the SSEL (in the ENUI register) bit to zero. The input frequency to the USART
is 16 times the baud rate.
The TSFT and TBUF registers double-buffer data for transmission. While TSFT is shifting out the current
character on the TDX pin, the TBUF register may be loaded by software with the next byte to be transmitted.
When TSFT finishes transmitting the current character the contents of TBUF are transferred to the TSFT register
and the Transmit Buffer Empty Flag (TBMT in the ENU register) is set. The TBMT flag is automatically reset by
the USART when software loads a new character into the TBUF register. There is also the XMTG bit which is set
to indicate that the USART is transmitting. This bit gets reset at the end of the last frame (end of last Stop bit).
TBUF is a read/write register.
The RSFT and RBUF registers double-buffer data being received. The USART receiver continually monitors the
signal on the RDX pin for a low level to detect the beginning of a Start bit. Upon sensing this low level, it waits for
half a bit time and samples again. If the RDX pin is still low, the receiver considers this to be a valid Start bit, and
the remaining bits in the character frame are each sampled three times around the center of the bit time. Serial
data input on the RDX pin is shifted into the RSFT register. Upon receiving the complete character, the contents
of the RSFT register are copied into the RBUF register and the Received Buffer Full Flag (RBFL) is set. RBFL is
automatically reset when software reads the character from the RBUF register. RBUF is a read only register.
There is also the RCVG bit which is set high when a framing error or a break detect occurs and goes low once
RDX goes high.
The USART receive state machine can hang after receiving a frame error or detecting a Line Break condition.
The lockup can be cleared by setting the USART in internal loopback mode and switching to synchronous
operation for a short time. For faster baud rates, there is no need for a timing loop. The code that is included
works for 300 baud with the device running on a 10MHz crystal. (2MHz instruction clock, instruction cycles for
1/16 bit time delay). At baud rates >= 9600 baud (>= 4800 baud with a 5MHz xtal) no timing loop is required. In
the following example the UART was initialized as follows:
PSR = C9
BAUD = 40
ENU = 01 ; 8 bits, no parity
;Remember that at the end of the code,
;the PSR and ENU must be restored to
;whatever setting the application requires.
CLERR:
LD ENU, #018 ;Temporarily go into
;loop back mode
SBIT SSEL,ENUI ;Then into synchronous mode
LD 0F1,#69 ;Delay loop timing -

LD PSR,#000 ;Stop USART clock
;before restarting
LD ENU, #000 ;Replace with normal ENU value
LD PSR,#0C9 ;Restore the PSR
;to restart the USART
RET
The same subroutine works for a break detect, but you need to be careful. If the break is still in force when the
PSR is restored, another break detect will occur. The part could easily end up spending all of it's cycles just
handling break detects. The user may wish to delay handling break detects until RDX goes high (poll the pin
periodically, or use MIWU).
Synchronous Mode
In this mode data is transferred synchronously with the clock. Data is transmitted on the rising edge and received
on the falling edge of the synchronous clock.
This mode is selected by setting SSEL bit in the ENUI register. The input frequency to the USART is the same
as the baud rate.

When an external clock input is selected at the CKX pin, data transmit and receive are performed synchronously
with this clock through TDX/RDX pins.
If data transmit and receive are selected with the CKX pin as clock output, the device generates the synchronous
clock output at the CKX pin. The internal baud rate generator is used to produce the synchronous clock. Data
transmit and receive are performed synchronously with this clock.
FRAMING FORMATS
The USART supports several serial framing formats ( Figure 26). The format is selected using control bits in the
ENU, ENUR and ENUI registers.
The first format (1, 1a, 1b, 1c) for data transmission (CHL0 = 1, CHL1 = 0) consists of Start bit, seven Data bits
(excluding parity) and one or two Stop bits. In applications using parity, the parity bit is generated and verified by
hardware.
The second format (CHL0 = 0, CHL1 = 0) consists of one Start bit, eight Data bits (excluding parity) and one or
two Stop bits. Parity bit is generated and verified by hardware.
The third format for transmission (CHL0 = 0, CHL1 = 1) consists of one Start bit, nine Data bits and one or two
Stop bits. This format also supports the USART “ATTENTION” feature. When operating in this format, all eight
bits of TBUF and RBUF are used for data. The ninth data bit is transmitted and received using two bits in the
ENU and ENUR registers, called XBIT9 and RBIT9. RBIT9 is a read only bit. Parity is not generated or verified in
this mode.
The parity is enabled/disabled by PEN bit located in the ENU register. Parity is selected for 7- and 8-bit modes
only. If parity is enabled (PEN = 1), the parity selection is then performed by PSEL0 and PSEL1 bits located in
the ENU register.
Note that the XBIT9/PSEL0 bit located in the ENU register serves two mutually exclusive functions. This bit
programs the ninth bit for transmission when the USART is operating with nine data bits per frame. There is no
parity selection in this framing format. For other framing formats XBIT9 is not needed and the bit is PSEL0 used
in conjunction with PSEL1 to select parity.
The frame formats for the receiver differ from the transmitter in the number of Stop bits required. The receiver
only requires one Stop bit in a frame, regardless of the setting of the Stop bit selection bits in the control register.
Note that an implicit assumption is made for full duplex USART operation that the framing formats are the same
for the transmitter and receiver.

Figure 26. Framing Formats
USART INTERRUPTS
The USART is capable of generating interrupts. Interrupts are generated on Receive Buffer Full and Transmit
Buffer Empty. Both interrupts have individual interrupt vectors. Two bytes of program memory space are
reserved for each interrupt vector. The two vectors are located at addresses 0xEC to 0xEF Hex in the program
memory space. The interrupts can be individually enabled or disabled using Enable Transmit Interrupt (ETI) and
Enable Receive Interrupt (ERI) bits in the ENUI register.
The interrupt from the Transmitter is set pending, and remains pending, as long as both the TBMT and ETI bits
are set. To remove this interrupt, software must either clear the ETI bit or write to the TBUF register (thus
clearing the TBMT bit).
The interrupt from the receiver is set pending, and remains pending, as long as both the RBFL and ERI bits are
set. To remove this interrupt, software must either clear the ERI bit or read from the RBUF register (thus clearing
the RBFL bit).
BAUD CLOCK GENERATION
The clock inputs to the transmitter and receiver sections of the USART can be individually selected to come
either from an external source at the CKX pin (port L, pin L1) or from a source selected in the PSR and BAUD
registers. Internally, the basic baud clock is created from the MCLK through a two-stage divider chain consisting
of a 1-16 (increments of 0.5) prescaler and an 11-bit binary counter ( Figure 27). The divide factors are specified
through two read/write registers shown in Figure 28. Note that the 11-bit Baud Rate Divisor spills over into the
Prescaler Select Register (PSR). PSR is cleared upon reset.
As shown in Table 20, a Prescaler Factor of 0 corresponds to NO CLOCK. This condition is the USART power
down mode where the USART clock is turned off for power saving purpose. The user must also turn the USART
clock off when a different baud rate is chosen.

The correspondences between the 5-bit Prescaler Select and Prescaler factors are shown in Table 20. There are
many ways to calculate the two divisor factors, but one particularly effective method would be to achieve a
1.8432 MHz frequency coming out of the first stage. The 1.8432 MHz prescaler output is then used to drive the
software programmable baud rate counter to create a 16x clock for the following baud rates: 110, 134.5, 150,
300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 19200 and 38400 ( Table 19). Other baud rates may be
created by using appropriate divisors. The 16x clock is then divided by 16 to provide the rate for the serial shift
registers of the transmitter and receiver.

As an example, considering Asynchronous Mode and a crystal frequency of 4.608 MHz, the prescaler factor
selected is:
(4.608 x 2)/1.8432 = 5 (1)
The 5 entry is available in Table 20. The 1.8432 MHz prescaler output is then used with proper Baud Rate
Divisor ( Table 19) to obtain different baud rates. For a baud rate of 19200 e.g., the entry in Table 19 is 5.
N1=5(N1 is the value from Table 19)
N = 6 (N is the Baud Rate Divisor)
Baud Rate = 1.8432 MHz/(16 x 6) = 19200
The divide by 16 is performed because in the asynchronous mode, the input frequency to the USART is 16 times
the baud rate. The equation to calculate baud rates is given below.
The actual Baud Rate may be found from:
BR = (FCx 2)/(16 x N x P)
Where:
BR is the Baud Rate
FCis the crystal frequency
N is the Baud Rate Divisor ( Table 19)
P is the Prescaler Divide Factor selected by the value in the Prescaler Select Register ( Table 20)
Note: In the Synchronous Mode, the divisor 16 is replaced by two.

Example:
Asynchronous Mode:
Crystal Frequency = 5 MHz
Desired baud rate = 19200
Using the above equation N × P can be calculated first.
N × P = (5 x 106x 2)/(16 x 19200) = 32.552
Now 32.552 is divided by each Prescaler Factor ( Table 20) to obtain a value closest to an integer. This factor
happens to be 6.5 (P = 6.5).
N = 32.552/6.5 = 5.008 (N = 5)
The programmed value (from Table 19) should be 4 (N - 1).
Using the above values calculated for N and P:
BR = (5 x 106x 2)/(16 x 5 x 6.5) = 19230.769
error = (19230.769 - 19200) x 100/19200 = 0.16%
Figure 28. USART BAUD Clock Divisor Registers
EFFECT OF HALT/IDLE
The USART logic is reinitialized when either the HALT or IDLE modes are entered. This reinitialization sets the
TBMT flag and resets all read only bits in the USART control and status registers. Read/Write bits remain
unchanged. The Transmit Buffer (TBUF) is not affected, but the Transmit Shift register (TSFT) bits are set to
one. The receiver registers RBUF and RSFT are not affected.
The device will exit from the HALT/IDLE modes when the Start bit of a character is detected at the RDX (L3) pin.
This feature is obtained by using the Multi-Input Wake-up scheme provided on the device.
Before entering the HALT or IDLE modes the user program must select the Wake-up source to be on the RDX
pin. This selection is done by setting bit 3 of WKEN (Wake-up Enable) register. The Wake-up trigger condition is
then selected to be high to low transition. This is done via the WKEDG register (Bit 3 is one).
If the device is halted and crystal oscillator is used, the Wake-up signal will not start the chip running immediately
because of the finite start up time requirement of the crystal oscillator. The idle timer (T0) generates a fixed (256
tC) delay to ensure that the oscillator has indeed stabilized before allowing the device to execute code. The user
has to consider this delay when data transfer is expected immediately after exiting the HALT mode.
DIAGNOSTIC
Bits CHL0 and CHL1 in the ENU register provide a loopback feature for diagnostic testing of the USART. When
both bits are set to one, the following occurs: The receiver input pin (RDX) is internally connected to the
transmitter output pin (TDX); the output of the Transmitter Shift Register is “looped back” into the Receive Shift
Register input. In this mode, data that is transmitted is immediately received. This feature allows the processor to
verify the transmit and receive data paths of the USART.
Note that the framing format for this mode is the nine bit format; one Start bit, nine data bits, and one or two Stop
bits. Parity is not generated or verified in this mode.
ATTENTION MODE
The USART Receiver section supports an alternate mode of operation, referred to as ATTENTION Mode. This
mode of operation is selected by the ATTN bit in the ENUR register. The data format for transmission must also
be selected as having nine Data bits and either one or two Stop bits.

SNOS978J JUNE 2001REVISED MARCH 2013
The ATTENTION mode of operation is intended for use in networking the device with other processors. Typically
in such environments the messages consists of device addresses, indicating which of several destinations should
receive them, and the actual data. This Mode supports a scheme in which addresses are flagged by having the
ninth bit of the data field set to a 1. If the ninth bit is reset to a zero the byte is a Data byte.
While in ATTENTION mode, the USART monitors the communication flow, but ignores all characters until an
address character is received. Upon receiving an address character, the USART signals that the character is
ready by setting the RBFL flag, which in turn interrupts the processor if USART Receiver interrupts are enabled.
The ATTN bit is also cleared automatically at this point, so that data characters as well as address characters
are recognized. Software examines the contents of the RBUF and responds by deciding either to accept the
subsequent data stream (by leaving the ATTN bit reset) or to wait until the next address character is seen (by
setting the ATTN bit again).
Operation of the USART Transmitter is not affected by selection of this Mode. The value of the ninth bit to be
transmitted is programmed by setting XBIT9 appropriately. The value of the ninth bit received is obtained by
reading RBIT9. Since this bit is located in ENUR register where the error flags reside, a bit operation on it will
reset the error flags.
BREAK GENERATION
To generate a line break, the user software should set the BRK bit in the ENUI register. This will force the TDX
pin to 0 and hold it there until the BRK bit is reset.
A/D Converter
This device contains a 16-channel, multiplexed input, successive approximation, 10 bit Analog-to-Digital
Converter. Pins AVCC and AGND are used for the voltage reference.
OPERATING MODES
It supports both Single Ended and Differential modes of operation.
Two specific analog channel selection modes are supported. These are as follows:
1. Allow any specific channel to be selected at one time. The A/D Converter performs the specific conversion
requested and stops.
2. Allow any differential channel pair to be selected at one time. The A/D Converter performs the specific
differential conversion requested and stops.
In both Single Ended and Differential modes, there is the capability to connect the analog multiplexor output and
A/D converter input to external pins. This provides the ability to externally connect a common filter/signal
conditioning circuit for the A/D Converter.
The A/D Converter is supported by three memory mapped registers: two result registers and the control register.
When the device is reset, the mode control register (ENAD) is cleared, the A/D is powered down and the A/D
result registers have unknown data.
A/D Control Register
The control register, ENAD, contains 4 bits for channel selection, 1 bit for mode selection, 1 bit for the multiplexor
output selection, 1 bit for prescaler selection, and a Busy bit. An A/D conversion is initiated by setting the ADBSY
bit in the ENAD control register. The result of the conversion is available to the user in the A/D result registers,
ADRSTH and ADRSTL, when ADBSY is cleared by the hardware on completion of the conversion.

CHANNEL SELECT
This 4-bit field selects one of sixteen channels to be the VIN+. The mode selection and the mux output determine
the VIN-input. When MUX = 0, all sixteen channels are available, as shown in Table 22. When MUX = 1, only
fourteen channels are available, as shown in Table 23.
All port pins which are used, in the application, in A/D operations must be configured as high-impedance inputs.
If the ports are configured as outputs or inputs with weak pull-up there will be a conflict between the analog
signal and the digitally driven output.

This 1-bit field allows the output of the A/D multiplexor and the input to the A/D to be connected directly to
external pins. This allows for an external, common filter/signal conditioning circuit to be applied to all channels.
The output of the external conditioning circuit can then be connected directly to the input of the Sample and Hold
input on the A/D Converter. See Figure 29 for the single ended mode diagram. The Multiplexor output is
connected to ADCH14 and the A/D input is connected to ADCH15. For Differential mode, the differential
multiplexor outputs are available and should be converted to a single ended voltage for connection to the A/D
Converter Input. See Figure 30.
The channel assignments for this mode are shown in Table 24.
When using the Mux Output feature, the delay though the internal multiplexor to the pin, plus the delay of the
external filter circuit, plus the internal delay to the Sample and Hold will exceed the three clock cycles that's
allowed in the conversion. This adds the requirement that, whenever the MUX bit = 1, that the channel selected
by ADCH3:0 bits be enabled, even when ADBSY = 0, and gated to the mux output pin. The input path to the A/D
converter is also enabled. This allows the input channel to be selected and settled before starting a conversion.
The sequence to perform conversions using the Mux Out feature is a multistep process and is listed below.
1. Select the desired channel and operating modes and load them into ENAD without setting ADBSY.
2. Wait the appropriate time until the analog input has settled. This will depend on the application and the
response of the external circuit.
3. Select the same desired channel and operating modes used in step 1 and load them into ENAD and also set
ADBSY or set ADBSY by using the SBIT instruction. This will start the conversion.
4. Poll ADBSY until it is cleared by the hardware. This indicates the completion of the conversion.
5. Obtain the results from the result registers.
The port pins used for the multiplexor output must be configured as high impedance inputs. If the port pins are
configured as outputs, or as inputs with weak pull-up, there will be a conflict between the analog signal output
and the digitally driven output.

PRESCALER SELECT
This 1-bit field is used to select one of two prescaler clocks for the A/D Converter. The following Table 25 shows
the various prescaler options. Care must be taken, when selecting this bit, to keep the A/D clock frequency within
the specified range.

BUSY BIT
The ADBSY bit of the ENAD register is used to control starting and stopping of the A/D conversion. When
ADBSY is cleared, the prescale logic is disabled and the A/D clock is turned off, drawing minimal power. Setting
the ADBSY bit starts the A/D clock and initiates a conversion based on the values currently in the ENAD register.
Normal completion of an A/D conversion clears the ADBSY bit and turns off the A/D Converter.
If the user wishes to restart a conversion which is already in progress, this can be accomplished only by writing a
zero to the ADBSY bit to stop the current conversion and then by writing a one to ADBSY to start a new
conversion. This can be done in two consecutive instructions.
A/D Result Registers
There are two result registers for the A/D converter: the high 8 bits of the result and the low 2-bits of the result.
The format of these registers is shown in Figure 30 Figure 31. Both registers are read/write registers, but in
normal operation, the hardware writes the value into the register when the conversion is complete and the
software reads the value. Both registers are undefined upon Reset. They hold the previous value until a new
conversion overwrites them. When reading ADRSTL, bits 5-0 will read as 0.

A/D OPERATION
The A/D conversion is completed within fifteen A/D converter clocks. The A/D Converter interface works as
follows. Setting the ADBSY bit in the A/D control register ENAD initiates an A/D conversion. The conversion
sequence starts at the beginning of the write to ENAD operation which sets ADBSY, thus powering up the A/D.
At the first edge of the Converter clock following the write operation, the sample signal turns on for three clock
cycles. At the end of the conversion, the internal conversion complete signal will clear the ADBSY bit and power
down the A/D. The A/D 10-bit result is immediately loaded into the A/D result registers (ADRSTH and ADRSTL)
upon completion.
Inadvertent changes to the ENAD register during conversion are prevented by the control logic of the A/D. Any
attempt to write any bit of the ENAD Register except ADBSY, while ADBSY is a one, is ignored. ADBSY must be
cleared either by completion of an A/D conversion or by the user before the prescaler, conversion mode or
channel select values can be changed. After stopping the current conversion, the user can load different values
for the prescaler, conversion mode or channel select and start a new conversion in one instruction.
Prescaler
The A/D Converter (A/D) contains a prescaler option that allows two different clock speed selections as shown in
Table 25. The A/D clock frequency is equal to MCLK divided by the prescaler value. Note that the prescaler
value must be chosen such that the A/D clock falls within the specified range. The maximum A/D frequency is
1.25 MHz. This equates to a 800 ns A/D clock cycle.
The A/D Converter takes 15 A/D clock cycles to complete a conversion. Thus the minimum A/D conversion time
is 12.0 µs when a prescaler of 16 has been selected with MCLK = 20 MHz. The 15 A/D clock cycles needed for
conversion consist of 3 cycles for sampling, 1 cycle for auto-zeroing the comparator, 10 cycles for converting, 1
cycle for loading the result into the result registers, for stopping and for re-initializing. The ADBSY flag provides
an A/D clock inhibit function, which saves power by powering down the A/D when it is not in use.
Note: The A/D Converter is also powered down when the device is in either the HALT or IDLE modes. If the A/D
is running when the device enters the HALT or IDLE modes, the A/D powers down and then restarts the
conversion from the beginning with a corrupted sampled voltage (and thus an invalid result) when the device
comes out of the HALT or IDLE modes.
ANALOG INPUT AND SOURCE RESISTANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Figure 31 shows the A/D pin model in single ended mode. The differential mode has a similar A/D pin model.
The leads to the analog inputs should be kept as short as possible. Both noise and digital clock coupling to an
A/D input can cause conversion errors. The clock lead should be kept away from the analog input line to reduce
coupling.
Source impedances greater than 3 kon the analog input lines will adversely affect the internal RC charging
time during input sampling. As shown in Figure 31, the analog switch to the DAC array is closed only during the
3 A/D cycle sample time. Large source impedances on the analog inputs may result in the DAC array not being
charged to the correct voltage levels, causing scale errors.
If large source resistance is necessary, the recommended solution is to slow down the A/D clock speed in
proportion to the source resistance. The A/D Converter may be operated at the maximum speed for RSless than
3 k. For RSgreater than 3 k, A/D clock speed needs to be reduced. For example, with RS=6k, the A/D
Converter may be operated at half the maximum speed. A/D Converter clock speed may be slowed down by
either increasing the A/D prescaler divide-by or decreasing the CKI clock frequency. The A/D minimum clock
speed is 65.536 kHz.

Interrupts
INTRODUCTION
The device supports eleven vectored interrupts. Interrupt sources include Timer 1, Timer 2, Timer T0, Port L
Wake-up, Software Trap, MICROWIRE/PLUS, USART and External Input.
All interrupts force a branch to location 00FF Hex in program memory. The VIS instruction may be used to vector
to the appropriate service routine from location 00FF Hex.
The Software trap has the highest priority while the default VIS has the lowest priority.
Each of the 13 maskable inputs has a fixed arbitration ranking and vector.
Figure 32 shows the Interrupt block diagram.
Figure 32. Interrupt Block Diagram
MASKABLE INTERRUPTS
All interrupts other than the Software Trap are maskable. Each maskable interrupt has an associated enable bit
and pending flag bit. The pending bit is set to 1 when the interrupt condition occurs. The state of the interrupt
enable bit, combined with the GIE bit determines whether an active pending flag actually triggers an interrupt. All
of the maskable interrupt pending and enable bits are contained in mapped control registers, and thus can be
controlled by the software.

SNOS978J JUNE 2001REVISED MARCH 2013
A maskable interrupt condition triggers an interrupt under the following conditions:
1. The enable bit associated with that interrupt is set.
2. The GIE bit is set.
3. The device is not processing a non-maskable interrupt. (If a non-maskable interrupt is being serviced, a
maskable interrupt must wait until that service routine is completed.)
An interrupt is triggered only when all of these conditions are met at the beginning of an instruction. If different
maskable interrupts meet these conditions simultaneously, the highest-priority interrupt will be serviced first, and
the other pending interrupts must wait.
Upon Reset, all pending bits, individual enable bits, and the GIE bit are reset to zero. Thus, a maskable interrupt
condition cannot trigger an interrupt until the program enables it by setting both the GIE bit and the individual
enable bit. When enabling an interrupt, the user should consider whether or not a previously activated (set)
pending bit should be acknowledged. If, at the time an interrupt is enabled, any previous occurrences of the
interrupt should be ignored, the associated pending bit must be reset to zero prior to enabling the interrupt.
Otherwise, the interrupt may be simply enabled; if the pending bit is already set, it will immediately trigger an
interrupt. A maskable interrupt is active if its associated enable and pending bits are set.
An interrupt is an asychronous event which may occur before, during, or after an instruction cycle. Any interrupt
which occurs during the execution of an instruction is not acknowledged until the start of the next normally
executed instruction. If the next normally executed instruction is to be skipped, the skip is performed before the
pending interrupt is acknowledged.
At the start of interrupt acknowledgment, the following actions occur:
1. The GIE bit is automatically reset to zero, preventing any subsequent maskable interrupt from interrupting
the current service routine. This feature prevents one maskable interrupt from interrupting another one being
serviced.
2. The address of the instruction about to be executed is pushed onto the stack.
3. The program counter (PC) is loaded with 00FF Hex, causing a jump to that program memory location.
The device requires seven instruction cycles to perform the actions listed above.
If the user wishes to allow nested interrupts, the interrupts service routine may set the GIE bit to 1 by writing to
the PSW register, and thus allow other maskable interrupts to interrupt the current service routine. If nested
interrupts are allowed, caution must be exercised. The user must write the program in such a way as to prevent
stack overflow, loss of saved context information, and other unwanted conditions.
The interrupt service routine stored at location 00FF Hex should use the VIS instruction to determine the cause
of the interrupt, and jump to the interrupt handling routine corresponding to the highest priority enabled and
active interrupt. Alternately, the user may choose to poll all interrupt pending and enable bits to determine the
source(s) of the interrupt. If more than one interrupt is active, the user's program must decide which interrupt to
service.
Within a specific interrupt service routine, the associated pending bit should be cleared. This is typically done as
early as possible in the service routine in order to avoid missing the next occurrence of the same type of interrupt
event. Thus, if the same event occurs a second time, even while the first occurrence is still being serviced, the
second occurrence will be serviced immediately upon return from the current interrupt routine.
An interrupt service routine typically ends with an RETI instruction. This instruction set the GIE bit back to 1,
pops the address stored on the stack, and restores that address to the program counter. Program execution then
proceeds with the next instruction that would have been executed had there been no interrupt. If there are any
valid interrupts pending, the highest-priority interrupt is serviced immediately upon return from the previous
interrupt.
Note: While executing from the Boot ROM for ISP or virtual E2 operations, the hardware will disable interrupts
from occurring. The hardware will leave the GIE bit in its current state, and if set, the hardware interrupts will
occur when execution is returned to Flash Memory. Subsequent interrupts, during ISP operation, from the same
interrupt source will be lost.

VIS INSTRUCTION
The general interrupt service routine, which starts at address 00FF Hex, must be capable of handling all types of
interrupts. The VIS instruction, together with an interrupt vector table, directs the device to the specific interrupt
handling routine based on the cause of the interrupt.
VIS is a single-byte instruction, typically used at the very beginning of the general interrupt service routine at
address 00FF Hex, or shortly after that point, just after the code used for context switching. The VIS instruction
determines which enabled and pending interrupt has the highest priority, and causes an indirect jump to the
address corresponding to that interrupt source. The jump addresses (vectors) for all possible interrupts sources
are stored in a vector table.
The vector table may be as long as 32 bytes (maximum of 16 vectors) and resides at the top of the 256-byte
block containing the VIS instruction. However, if the VIS instruction is at the very top of a 256-byte block (such as
at 00FF Hex), the vector table resides at the top of the next 256-byte block. Thus, if the VIS instruction is located
somewhere between 00FF and 01DF Hex (the usual case), the vector table is located between addresses 01E0
and 01FF Hex. If the VIS instruction is located between 01FF and 02DF Hex, then the vector table is located
between addresses 02E0 and 02FF Hex, and so on.
Each vector is 15 bits long and points to the beginning of a specific interrupt service routine somewhere in the
32-kbyte memory space. Each vector occupies two bytes of the vector table, with the higher-order byte at the
lower address. The vectors are arranged in order of interrupt priority. The vector of the maskable interrupt with
the lowest rank is located to 0yE0 (higher-order byte) and 0yE1 (lower-order byte). The next priority interrupt is
located at 0yE2 and 0yE3, and so forth in increasing rank. The Software Trap has the highest rand and its vector
is always located at 0yFE and 0yFF. The number of interrupts which can become active defines the size of the
table.
Table 28 shows the types of interrupts, the interrupt arbitration ranking, and the locations of the corresponding
vectors in the vector table.
The vector table should be filled by the user with the memory locations of the specific interrupt service routines.
For example, if the Software Trap routine is located at 0310 Hex, then the vector location 0yFE and -0yFF should
contain the data 03 and 10 Hex, respectively. When a Software Trap interrupt occurs and the VIS instruction is
executed, the program jumps to the address specified in the vector table.
The interrupt sources in the vector table are listed in order of rank, from highest to lowest priority. If two or more
enabled and pending interrupts are detected at the same time, the one with the highest priority is serviced first.
Upon return from the interrupt service routine, the next highest-level pending interrupt is serviced.
If the VIS instruction is executed, but no interrupts are enabled and pending, the lowest-priority interrupt vector is
used, and a jump is made to the corresponding address in the vector table. This is an unusual occurrence and
may be the result of an error. It can legitimately result from a change in the enable bits or pending flags prior to
the execution of the VIS instruction, such as executing a single cycle instruction which clears an enable flag at
the same time that the pending flag is set. It can also result, however, from inadvertent execution of the VIS
command outside of the context of an interrupt.
The default VIS interrupt vector can be useful for applications in which time critical interrupts can occur during
the servicing of another interrupt. Rather than restoring the program context (A, B, X, etc.) and executing the
RETI instruction, an interrupt service routine can be terminated by returning to the VIS instruction. In this case,
interrupts will be serviced in turn until no further interrupts are pending and the default VIS routine is started.
After testing the GIE bit to ensure that execution is not erroneous, the routine should restore the program context
and execute the RETI to return to the interrupted program.
This technique can save up to fifty instruction cycles (tC), or more, (50 µs at 10 MHz oscillator) of latency for
pending interrupts with a penalty of fewer than ten instruction cycles if no further interrupts are pending.
To ensure reliable operation, the user should always use the VIS instruction to determine the source of an
interrupt. Although it is possible to poll the pending bits to detect the source of an interrupt, this practice is not
recommended. The use of polling allows the standard arbitration ranking to be altered, but the reliability of the
interrupt system is compromised. The polling routine must individually test the enable and pending bits of each
maskable interrupt. If a Software Trap interrupt should occur, it will be serviced last, even though it should have
the highest priority. Under certain conditions, a Software Trap could be triggered but not serviced, resulting in an
inadvertent “locking out” of all maskable interrupts by the Software Trap pending flag. Problems such as this can
be avoided by using VIS instruction.

(1) y is a variable which represents the VIS block. VIS and the vector table must be located in the same 256-byte block except if VIS is
located at the last address of a block. In this case, the table must be in the next block.
VIS Execution
When the VIS instruction is executed it activates the arbitration logic. The arbitration logic generates an even
number between E0 and FE (E0, E2, E4, E6 etc....) depending on which active interrupt has the highest
arbitration ranking at the time of the 1st cycle of VIS is executed. For example, if the software trap interrupt is
active, FE is generated. If the external interrupt is active and the software trap interrupt is not, then FA is
generated and so forth. If no active interrupt is pending, than E0 is generated. This number replaces the lower
byte of the PC. The upper byte of the PC remains unchanged. The new PC is therefore pointing to the vector of
the active interrupt with the highest arbitration ranking. This vector is read from program memory and placed into
the PC which is now pointed to the 1st instruction of the service routine of the active interrupt with the highest
arbitration ranking.
Figure 33illustrates the different steps performed by the VIS instruction. Figure 34 shows a flowchart for the VIS
instruction.
The non-maskable interrupt pending flag is cleared by the RPND (Reset Non-Maskable Pending Bit) instruction
(under certain conditions) and upon RESET.

NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT
Pending Flag
There is a pending flag bit associated with the non-maskable Software Trap interrupt, called STPND. This
pending flag is not memory-mapped and cannot be accessed directly by the software.
The pending flag is reset to zero when a device Reset occurs. When the non-maskable interrupt occurs, the
associated pending bit is set to 1. The interrupt service routine should contain an RPND instruction to reset the
pending flag to zero. The RPND instruction always resets the STPND flag.
Software Trap
The Software Trap is a special kind of non-maskable interrupt which occurs when the INTR instruction (used to
acknowledge interrupts) is fetched from program memory and placed in the instruction register. This can happen
in a variety of ways, usually because of an error condition. Some examples of causes are listed below.
If the program counter incorrectly points to a memory location beyond the programmed Flash memory space, the
unused memory location returns zeros which is interpreted as the INTR instruction.
A Software Trap can be triggered by a temporary hardware condition such as a brownout or power supply glitch.
The Software Trap has the highest priority of all interrupts. When a Software Trap occurs, the STPND bit is set.
The GIE bit is not affected and the pending bit (not accessible by the user) is used to inhibit other interrupts and
to direct the program to the ST service routine with the VIS instruction. Nothing can interrupt a Software Trap
service routine except for another Software Trap. The STPND can be reset only by the RPND instruction or a
chip Reset.
The Software Trap indicates an unusual or unknown error condition. Generally, returning to normal execution at
the point where the Software Trap occurred cannot be done reliably. Therefore, the Software Trap service routine
should re-initialize the stack pointer and perform a recovery procedure that re-starts the software at some known
point, similar to a device Reset, but not necessarily performing all the same functions as a device Reset. The
routine must also execute the RPND instruction to reset the STPND flag. Otherwise, all other interrupts will be
locked out. To the extent possible, the interrupt routine should record or indicate the context of the device so that
the cause of the Software Trap can be determined.

SNOS978J JUNE 2001REVISED MARCH 2013
If the user wishes to return to normal execution from the point at which the Software Trap was triggered, the user
must first execute RPND, followed by RETSK rather than RETI or RET. This is because the return address
stored on the stack is the address of the INTR instruction that triggered the interrupt. The program must skip that
instruction in order to proceed with the next one. Otherwise, an infinite loop of Software Traps and returns will
occur.
Programming a return to normal execution requires careful consideration. If the Software Trap routine is
interrupted by another Software Trap, the RPND instruction in the service routine for the second Software Trap
will reset the STPND flag; upon return to the first Software Trap routine, the STPND flag will have the wrong
state. This will allow maskable interrupts to be acknowledged during the servicing of the first Software Trap. To
avoid problems such as this, the user program should contain the Software Trap routine to perform a recovery
procedure rather than a return to normal execution.
Under normal conditions, the STPND flag is reset by a RPND instruction in the Software Trap service routine. If a
programming error or hardware condition (brownout, power supply glitch, etc.) sets the STPND flag without
providing a way for it to be cleared, all other interrupts will be locked out. To alleviate this condition, the user can
use extra RPND instructions in the main program and in the Watchdog service routine (if present). There is no
harm in executing extra RPND instructions in these parts of the program.

PORT L INTERRUPTS
Port L provides the user with an additional eight fully selectable, edge sensitive interrupts which are all vectored
into the same service subroutine.
The interrupt from Port L shares logic with the wake-up circuitry. The register WKEN allows interrupts from Port L
to be individually enabled or disabled. The register WKEDG specifies the trigger condition to be either a positive
or a negative edge. Finally, the register WKPND latches in the pending trigger conditions.
The GIE (Global Interrupt Enable) bit enables the interrupt function.
A control flag, LPEN, functions as a global interrupt enable for Port L interrupts. Setting the LPEN flag will enable
interrupts and vice versa. A separate global pending flag is not needed since the register WKPND is adequate.
Since Port L is also used for waking the device out of the HALT or IDLE modes, the user can elect to exit the
HALT or IDLE modes either with or without the interrupt enabled. If he elects to disable the interrupt, then the
device will restart execution from the instruction immediately following the instruction that placed the
microcontroller in the HALT or IDLE modes. In the other case, the device will first execute the interrupt service
routine and then revert to normal operation. (See HALT MODE for clock option wake-up information.)
INTERRUPT SUMMARY
The device uses the following types of interrupts, listed below in order of priority:
1. The Software Trap non-maskable interrupt, triggered by the INTR (00 opcode) instruction. The Software Trap
is acknowledged immediately. This interrupt service routine can be interrupted only by another Software
Trap. The Software Trap should end with two RPND instructions followed by a re-start procedure.
2. Maskable interrupts, triggered by an on-chip peripheral block or an external device connected to the device.
Under ordinary conditions, a maskable interrupt will not interrupt any other interrupt routine in progress. A
maskable interrupt routine in progress can be interrupted by the non-maskable interrupt request. A maskable
interrupt routine should end with an RETI instruction or, prior to restoring context, should return to execute
the VIS instruction. This is particularly useful when exiting long interrupt service routines if the time between
interrupts is short. In this case the RETI instruction would only be executed when the default VIS routine is
reached.
3. While executing from the Boot ROM for ISP or virtual E2 operations, the hardware will disable interrupts from
occurring. The hardware will leave the GIE bit in its current state, and if set, the hardware interrupts will
occur when execution is returned to Flash Memory. Subsequent interrupts, during ISP operation, from the
same interrupt source will be lost.
WATCHDOG/Clock Monitor
The devices contain a user selectable WATCHDOG and clock monitor. The following section is applicable only if
the WATCHDOG feature has been selected in the Option register. The WATCHDOG is designed to detect the
user program getting stuck in infinite loops resulting in loss of program control or “runaway” programs.
The WATCHDOG logic contains two separate service windows. While the user programmable upper window
selects the WATCHDOG service time, the lower window provides protection against an infinite program loop that
contains the WATCHDOG service instruction. The WATCHDOG uses the Idle Timer (T0) and thus all times are
measured in Idle Timer Clocks.
The Clock Monitor is used to detect the absence of a clock or a very slow clock below a specified rate on tC.

The WATCHDOG consists of two independent logic blocks: WD UPPER and WD LOWER. WD UPPER
establishes the upper limit on the service window and WD LOWER defines the lower limit of the service window.
Servicing the WATCHDOG consists of writing a specific value to a WATCHDOG Service Register named
WDSVR which is memory mapped in the RAM. This value is composed of three fields, consisting of a 2-bit
Window Select, a 5-bit Key Data field, and the 1-bit Clock Monitor Select field. Table 29 shows the WDSVR
register.
Table 29. WATCHDOG Service Register (WDSVR)
Window Select Key Data Clock Monitor
X X 0 1 1 0 0 Y

The lower limit of the service window is fixed at 2048 Idle Timer Clocks. Bits 7 and 6 of the WDSVR register
allow the user to pick an upper limit of the service window.
Table 30 shows the four possible combinations of lower and upper limits for the WATCHDOG service window.
This flexibility in choosing the WATCHDOG service window prevents any undue burden on the user software.
Bits 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 of the WDSVR register represent the 5-bit Key Data field. The key data is fixed at 01100. Bit

CLOCK MONITOR
The Clock Monitor aboard the device can be selected or deselected under program control. The Clock Monitor is
ensured not to reject the clock if the instruction cycle clock (1/tC) is greater or equal to 5 kHz. This equates to a
clock input rate on the selected oscillator of greater or equal to 25 kHz.
WATCHDOG/CLOCK MONITOR OPERATION
The WATCHDOG is enabled by bit 2 of the Option register. When this Option bit is 0, the WATCHDOG is
enabled and pin G1 becomes the WATCHDOG output with a weak pull-up.
The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor are disabled during reset. The device comes out of reset with the
WATCHDOG armed, the WATCHDOG Window Select bits (bits 6, 7 of the WDSVR Register) set, and the Clock
Monitor bit (bit 0 of the WDSVR Register) enabled. Thus, a Clock Monitor error will occur after coming out of
reset, if the instruction cycle clock frequency has not reached a minimum specified value, including the case
where the oscillator fails to start.
The WDSVR register can be written to only once after reset and the key data (bits 5 through 1 of the WDSVR
Register) must match to be a valid write. This write to the WDSVR register involves two irrevocable choices: (i)
the selection of the WATCHDOG service window (ii) enabling or disabling of the Clock Monitor. Hence, the first
write to WDSVR Register involves selecting or deselecting the Clock Monitor, select the WATCHDOG service
window and match the WATCHDOG key data. Subsequent writes to the WDSVR register will compare the value
being written by the user to the WATCHDOG service window value, the key data and the Clock Monitor Enable
(all bits) in the WDSVR Register. Table 31 shows the sequence of events that can occur.
The user must service the WATCHDOG at least once before the upper limit of the service window expires. The
WATCHDOG may not be serviced more than once in every lower limit of the service window.

When jumping to the boot ROM for ISP and virtual E2 operations, the hardware will disable the lower window
error and perform an immediate WATCHDOG service. The ISP routines will service the WATCHDOG within the
selected upper window. The ISP routines will service the WATCHDOG immediately prior to returning execution
back to the user's code in flash. Therefore, after returning to flash memory, the user can service the
WATCHDOG anytime following the return from boot ROM, but must service it within the selected upper window
to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
The WATCHDOG has an output pin associated with it. This is the WDOUT pin, on pin 1 of the port G. WDOUT is
active low. The WDOUT pin has a weak pull-up in the inactive state. Upon triggering the WATCHDOG, the logic
will pull the WDOUT (G1) pin low for an additional 16–32 cycles after the signal level on WDOUT pin goes below
the lower Schmitt trigger threshold. After this delay, the device will stop forcing the WDOUT output low. The
WATCHDOG service window will restart when the WDOUT pin goes high.
A WATCHDOG service while the WDOUT signal is active will be ignored. The state of the WDOUT pin is not
ensured on reset, but if it powers up low then the WATCHDOG will time out and WDOUT will go high.
The Clock Monitor forces the G1 pin low upon detecting a clock frequency error. The Clock Monitor error will
continue until the clock frequency has reached the minimum specified value, after which the G1 output will go
high following 16–32 clock cycles. The Clock Monitor generates a continual Clock Monitor error if the oscillator
fails to start, or fails to reach the minimum specified frequency. The specification for the Clock Monitor is as
follows:
1/tC> 5 kHz—No clock rejection.
1/tC< 10 Hz—Ensured clock rejection.

WATCHDOG AND CLOCK MONITOR SUMMARY
The following salient points regarding the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONITOR should be noted:
Both the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONITOR detector circuits are inhibited during RESET.
Following RESET, the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONITOR are both enabled, with the WATCHDOG having
the maximum service window selected.
The WATCHDOG service window and CLOCK MONITOR enable/disable option can only be changed once,
during the initial WATCHDOG service following RESET.
The initial WATCHDOG service must match the key data value in the WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR
in order to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
Subsequent WATCHDOG services must match all three data fields in WDSVR in order to avoid WATCHDOG
errors.
The correct key data value cannot be read from the WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR. Any attempt to
read this key data value of 01100 from WDSVR will read as key data value of all 0's.
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during both the HALT and IDLE modes.
The CLOCK MONITOR detector circuit is active during both the HALT and IDLE modes. Consequently, the
device inadvertently entering the HALT mode will be detected as a CLOCK MONITOR error (provided that the
CLOCK MONITOR enable option has been selected by the program). Likewise, a device with WATCHDOG
enabled in the Option but with the WATCHDOG output not connected to RESET, will draw excessive HALT
current if placed in the HALT mode. The clock Monitor will pull the WATCHDOG output low and sink current
through the on-chip pull-up resistor.
The WATCHDOG service window will be set to its selected value from WDSVR following HALT.
Consequently, the WATCHDOG should not be serviced for at least 2048 Idle Timer clocks following HALT,
but must be serviced within the selected window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
The IDLE timer T0 is not initialized with external RESET.

The user can sync in to the IDLE counter cycle with an IDLE counter (T0) interrupt or by monitoring the
T0PND flag. The T0PND flag is set whenever the selected bit of the IDLE counter toggles (every 4, 8, 16, 32
or 64k Idle Timer clocks). The user is responsible for resetting the T0PND flag.
A hardware WATCHDOG service occurs just as the device exits the IDLE mode. Consequently, the
WATCHDOG should not be serviced for at least 2048 Idle Timer clocks following IDLE, but must be serviced
within the selected window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
Following RESET, the initial WATCHDOG service (where the service window and the CLOCK MONITOR
enable/disable must be selected) may be programmed anywhere within the maximum service window (65,536
instruction cycles) initialized by RESET. Note that this initial WATCHDOG service may be programmed within
the initial 2048 instruction cycles without causing a WATCHDOG error.
When using any of the ISP functions in Boot ROM, the ISP routines will service the WATCHDOG within the
selected upper window. Upon return to flash memory, the WATCHDOG is serviced, the lower window is
enabled, and the user can service the WATCHDOG anytime following exit from Boot ROM, but must service it
within the selected upper window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
DETECTION OF ILLEGAL CONDITIONS
The device can detect various illegal conditions resulting from coding errors, transient noise, power supply
voltage drops, runaway programs, etc.
Reading of unprogrammed ROM gets zeros. The opcode for software interrupt is 00. If the program fetches
instructions from unprogrammed ROM, this will force a software interrupt, thus signaling that an illegal condition
has occurred.
The subroutine stack grows down for each call (jump to subroutine), interrupt, or PUSH, and grows up for each
return or POP. The stack pointer is initialized to RAM location 06F Hex during reset. Consequently, if there are
more returns than calls, the stack pointer will point to addresses 070 and 071 Hex (which are undefined RAM).
Undefined RAM from addresses 070 to 07F (Segment 0), and all other segments (i.e., Segments 4... etc.) is read
as all 1's, which in turn will cause the program to return to address 7FFF Hex. This location is unimplemented
and, when accessed by an instruction fetch, will respond with an INTR instruction (all 0's) to generate a software
interrupt, signalling an illegal condition on overpop of the stack.
Thus, the chip can detect the following illegal conditions:
1. Executing from undefined Program Memory
2. Over “POP”ing the stack by having more returns than calls.
When the software interrupt occurs, the user can re-initialize the stack pointer and do a recovery procedure
before restarting (this recovery program is probably similar to that following reset, but might not contain the same
program initialization procedures). The recovery program should reset the software interrupt pending bit using the
RPND instruction.
MICROWIRE/PLUS
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a serial SPI compatible synchronous communications interface. The MICROWIRE/PLUS
capability enables the device to interface with MICROWIRE/PLUS or SPI peripherals (i.e. A/D converters, display
drivers, EEPROMs etc.) and with other microcontrollers which support the MICROWIRE/PLUS or SPI interface. It
consists of an 8-bit serial shift register (SIO) with serial data input (SI), serial data output (SO) and serial shift
clock (SK). Figure 35 shows a block diagram of the MICROWIRE/PLUS logic.
The shift clock can be selected from either an internal source or an external source. Operating the
MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangement with the internal clock source is called the Master mode of operation. Similarly,
operating the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangement with an external shift clock is called the Slave mode of operation.
The CNTRL register is used to configure and control the MICROWIRE/PLUS mode. To use the
MICROWIRE/PLUS, the MSEL bit in the CNTRL register is set to one. In the master mode, the SK clock rate is
selected by the two bits, SL0 and SL1, in the CNTRL register. Table 32 details the different clock rates that may
be selected.

MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION
Setting the BUSY bit in the PSW register causes the MICROWIRE/PLUS to start shifting the data. It gets reset
when eight data bits have been shifted. The user may reset the BUSY bit by software to allow less than 8 bits to
shift. If enabled, an interrupt is generated when eight data bits have been shifted. The device may enter the
MICROWIRE/PLUS mode either as a Master or as a Slave. Figure 35shows how two microcontroller devices and
several peripherals may be interconnected using the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangements.
Warning: (2)
The SIO register should only be loaded when the SK clock is in the idle phase. Loading the SIO register while
the SK clock is in the active phase, will result in undefined data in the SIO register.
Setting the BUSY flag when the input SK clock is in the active phase while in the MICROWIRE/PLUS is in the
slave mode may cause the current SK clock for the SIO shift register to be narrow. For safety, the BUSY flag
should only be set when the input SK clock is in the idle phase.
MICROWIRE/PLUS Master Mode Operation
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Master mode of operation the shift clock (SK) is generated internally. The
MICROWIRE/PLUS Master always initiates all data exchanges. The MSEL bit in the CNTRL register must be set
to enable the SO and SK functions onto the G Port. The SO and SK pins must also be selected as outputs by
setting appropriate bits in the Port G configuration register. In the slave mode, the shift clock stops after 8 clock
pulses. Table 33 summarizes the bit settings required for Master mode of operation.
MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave Mode Operation
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave mode of operation the SK clock is generated by an external source. Setting the
MSEL bit in the CNTRL register enables the SO and SK functions onto the G Port. The SK pin must be selected
as an input and the SO pin is selected as an output pin by setting and resetting the appropriate bits in the Port G
configuration register. Table 33 summarizes the settings required to enter the Slave mode of operation.

The user must set the BUSY flag immediately upon entering the Slave mode. This ensures that all data bits sent
by the Master is shifted properly. After eight clock pulses the BUSY flag is clear, the shift clock is stopped, and
the sequence may be repeated.
Figure 35. MICROWIRE/PLUS Application
ALTERNATE SK PHASE OPERATION AND SK IDLE POLARITY
The device allows either the normal SK clock or an alternate phase SK clock to shift data in and out of the SIO
register. In both the modes the SK idle polarity can be either high or low. The polarity is selected by bit 5 of Port
G data register. In the normal mode data is shifted in on the rising edge of the SK clock and the data is shifted
out on the falling edge of the SK clock. The SIO register is shifted on each falling edge of the SK clock. In the
alternate SK phase operation, data is shifted in on the falling edge of the SK clock and shifted out on the rising
edge of the SK clock. Bit 6 of Port G configuration register selects the SK edge.
A control flag, SKSEL, allows either the normal SK clock or the alternate SK clock to be selected. Refer to
Table 34 for the appropriate setting of the SKSEL bit. The SKSEL is mapped into the G6 configuration bit. The
SKSEL flag will power up in the reset condition, selecting the normal SK signal provided the SK Idle Polarity
remains LOW.

Instruction Set
INTRODUCTION
This section defines the instruction set of the COP8 Family members. It contains information about the instruction
set features, addressing modes and types.
INSTRUCTION FEATURES
The strength of the instruction set is based on the following features:
Mostly single-byte opcode instructions minimize program size.
One instruction cycle for the majority of single-byte instructions to minimize program execution time.
Many single-byte, multiple function instructions such as DRSZ.
Three memory mapped pointers: two for register indirect addressing, and one for the software stack.
Sixteen memory mapped registers that allow an optimized implementation of certain instructions.
Ability to set, reset, and test any individual bit in data memory address space, including the memory-mapped
I/O ports and registers.
Register-Indirect LOAD and EXCHANGE instructions with optional automatic post-incrementing or
decrementing of the register pointer. This allows for greater efficiency (both in cycle time and program code)
in loading, walking across and processing fields in data memory.
Unique instructions to optimize program size and throughput efficiency. Some of these instructions are:
DRSZ, IFBNE, DCOR, RETSK, VIS and RRC.
ADDRESSING MODES
The instruction set offers a variety of methods for specifying memory addresses. Each method is called an
addressing mode. These modes are classified into two categories: operand addressing modes and transfer-of-
control addressing modes. Operand addressing modes are the various methods of specifying an address for
accessing (reading or writing) data. Transfer-of-control addressing modes are used in conjunction with jump
instructions to control the execution sequence of the software program.

SNOS978J JUNE 2001REVISED MARCH 2013
Operand Addressing Modes
The operand of an instruction specifies what memory location is to be affected by that instruction. Several
different operand addressing modes are available, allowing memory locations to be specified in a variety of ways.
An instruction can specify an address directly by supplying the specific address, or indirectly by specifying a
register pointer. The contents of the register (or in some cases, two registers) point to the desired memory
location. In the immediate mode, the data byte to be used is contained in the instruction itself.
Each addressing mode has its own advantages and disadvantages with respect to flexibility, execution speed,
and program compactness. Not all modes are available with all instructions. The Load (LD) instruction offers the
largest number of addressing modes.
The available addressing modes are:
Direct
Register B or X Indirect
Register B or X Indirect with Post-Incrementing/Decrementing
Immediate
Immediate Short
Indirect from Program Memory
The addressing modes are described below. Each description includes an example of an assembly language
instruction using the described addressing mode.
Direct. The memory address is specified directly as a byte in the instruction. In assembly language, the direct
address is written as a numerical value (or a label that has been defined elsewhere in the program as a
numerical value).

B Pointer 05 Hex 05 Hex
Register B or X Indirect with Post-Incrementing/Decrementing. The relevant memory address is specified by
the contents of the B Register or X register (pointer register). The pointer register is automatically incremented or
decremented after execution, allowing easy manipulation of memory blocks with software loops. In assembly
language, the notation [B+], [B], [X+], or [X] specifies which register serves as the pointer, and whether the
pointer is to be incremented or decremented.

Indirect from Program Memory. This is a special case of an indirect instruction that allows access to data
tables stored in program memory. In the “Load Accumulator Indirect” (LAID) instruction, the upper and lower
bytes of the Program Counter (PCU and PCL) are used temporarily as a pointer to program memory. For
purposes of accessing program memory, the contents of the Accumulator and PCL are exchanged. The data
pointed to by the Program Counter is loaded into the Accumulator, and simultaneously, the original contents of
PCL are restored so that the program can resume normal execution.

Tranfer-of-Control Addressing Modes
Program instructions are usually executed in sequential order. However, Jump instructions can be used to
change the normal execution sequence. Several transfer-of-control addressing modes are available to specify
jump addresses.
A change in program flow requires a non-incremental change in the Program Counter contents. The Program
Counter consists of two bytes, designated the upper byte (PCU) and lower byte (PCL). The most significant bit of
PCU is not used, leaving 15 bits to address the program memory.

Different addressing modes are used to specify the new address for the Program Counter. The choice of
addressing mode depends primarily on the distance of the jump. Farther jumps sometimes require more
instruction bytes in order to completely specify the new Program Counter contents.
The available transfer-of-control addressing modes are:
Jump Relative
Jump Absolute
Jump Absolute Long
Jump Indirect
The transfer-of-control addressing modes are described below. Each description includes an example of a Jump
instruction using a particular addressing mode, and the effect on the Program Counter bytes of executing that
instruction.
Jump Relative. In this 1-byte instruction, six bits of the instruction opcode specify the distance of the jump from
the current program memory location. The distance of the jump can range from 31 to +32. A JP+1 instruction is
not allowed. The programmer should use a NOP instead.
Example: Jump Relative
JP 0A

PCU 02 Hex 02 Hex
PCL 05 Hex 0F Hex
Jump Absolute. In this 2-byte instruction, 12 bits of the instruction opcode specify the new contents of the
Program Counter. The upper three bits of the Program Counter remain unchanged, restricting the new Program
Counter address to the same 4-kbyte address space as the current instruction. (This restriction is relevant only in
devices using more than one 4-kbyte program memory space.)

program memory, with the Accumulator serving as the low order byte of a pointer into program memory. For
purposes of accessing program memory, the contents of the Accumulator are written to PCL (temporarily). The
data pointed to by the Program Counter (PCH/PCL) is loaded into PCL, while PCH remains unchanged.

The VIS instruction is a special case of the Indirect Transfer of Control addressing mode, where the double-byte
vector associated with the interrupt is transferred from adjacent addresses in program memory into the Program
Counter in order to jump to the associated interrupt service routine.
INSTRUCTION TYPES
The instruction set contains a wide variety of instructions. The available instructions are listed below, organized
into related groups.
Some instructions test a condition and skip the next instruction if the condition is not true. Skipped instructions
are executed as no-operation (NOP) instructions.
Arithmetic Instructions
The arithmetic instructions perform binary arithmetic such as addition and subtraction, with or without the Carry
bit.
Add (ADD)
Add with Carry (ADC)
Subtract with Carry (SUBC)
Increment (INC)
Decrement (DEC)
Decimal Correct (DCOR)
Clear Accumulator (CLR)
Set Carry (SC)
Reset Carry (RC)
Transfer-of-Control Instructions
The transfer-of-control instructions change the usual sequential program flow by altering the contents of the
Program Counter. The Jump to Subroutine instructions save the Program Counter contents on the stack before
jumping; the Return instructions pop the top of the stack back into the Program Counter.

Load and Exchange Instructions
The load and exchange instructions write byte values in registers or memory. The addressing mode determines
the source of the data.
Load (LD)
Load Accumulator Indirect (LAID)
Exchange (X)
Logical Instructions
The logical instructions perform the operations AND, OR, and XOR (Exclusive OR). Other logical operations can
be performed by combining these basic operations. For example, complementing is accomplished by exclusive-
ORing the Accumulator with FF Hex.
Logical AND (AND)
Logical OR (OR)
Exclusive OR (XOR)
Accumulator Bit Manipulation Instructions
The Accumulator bit manipulation instructions allow the user to shift the Accumulator bits and to swap its two
nibbles.

No-Operation Instruction
The no-operation instruction does nothing, except to occupy space in the program memory and time in
execution.
No-Operation (NOP)
Note: The VIS is a special case of the Indirect Transfer of Control addressing mode, where the double byte
vector associated with the interrupt is transferred from adjacent addresses in the program memory into the
program counter (PC) in order to jump to the associated interrupt service routine.

INSTRUCTION EXECUTION TIME
Most instructions are single byte (with immediate addressing mode instructions taking two bytes).
Most single byte instructions take one cycle time to execute.
Skipped instructions require x number of cycles to be skipped, where x equals the number of bytes in the
skipped instruction opcode.
See the BYTES and CYCLES per INSTRUCTION table for details.

(1) The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
