Some of the modules inside the MCU have clock source choices. Figure 1-2 shows a simplified clock
connection diagram. The ICG supplies the clock sources:
• ICGOUT is an output of the ICG module. It is one of the following:
— The external crystal oscillator
— An external clock source
— The output of the digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) in the frequency-locked loop
sub-module
Control bits inside the ICG determine which source is connected.
• FFE is a control signal generated inside the ICG. If the frequency of ICGOUT > 4 ×the frequency
of ICGERCLK, this signal is a logic 1 and the fixed-frequency clock will be the ICGERCLK.
Otherwise the fixed-frequency clock will be BUSCLK.
• ICGLCLK — Development tools can select this internal self-clocked source (~ 8 MHz) to speed
up BDC communications in systems where the bus clock is slow.
• ICGERCLK — External reference clock can be selected as the real-time interrupt clock source.

2.3.1 VDD, VSS, VDDAD, VSSAD, VREFH, VREFL — Power and Voltage
References
VDD and VSS are the primary power supply pins for the MCU. This voltage source supplies power to all
I/O buffer circuitry and to an internal voltage regulator. The internal voltage regulator provides regulated
lower-voltage source to the CPU and other internal circuitry of the MCU.
Typically, application systems have two separate capacitors across the power pins. In this case, there
should be a bulk electrolytic capacitor, such as a 10-µF tantalum capacitor, to provide bulk charge storage
for the overall system and a 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor located as close to the MCU power pins as
practical to suppress high-frequency noise.
NOTE
The 48-pin QFN version of the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A has two adjacent
VSS pins. Both pins must be connected to ground with zero impedance
between them.
VDDAD and VSSAD are the analog power supply pins for the MCU. This voltage source supplies power to
the ATD. A 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor should be located as close to the MCU power pins as practical
to suppress high-frequency noise.
VREFH and VREFL are the reference voltages for the analog-to-digital converter and for most accurate
performance, they must be connected directly to VDDAD and VSSAD with the shortest traces possible.
2.3.2 PTG1/XTAL, PTG2/EXTAL — Oscillator
Immediately after reset, the MCU uses an internally generated clock (self-clocked mode — fSelf_reset), that
is approximately equivalent to an 8-MHz crystal rate. This frequency source is used during reset startup
and can be enabled as the clock source for stop recovery to avoid the need for a long crystal startup delay.
This MCU also contains a trimmable internal clock generator (ICG) module that can be used to run the
MCU. For more information on the ICG, see Chapter 9, “Internal Clock Generator (S08ICGV4).”
The oscillator amplitude on XTAL and EXTAL is gain limited for low-power oscillation. Typically, these
pins have a 1-V peak-to-peak signal. For noisy environments, the high gain output (HGO) bit can be set to
enable rail-to-rail oscillation.
The oscillator in this MCU is a Pierce oscillator that can accommodate a crystal or ceramic resonator in
either of two frequency ranges selected by the RANGE bit in the ICGC1 register. Rather than a crystal or
ceramic resonator, an external oscillator can be connected to the EXTAL input pin, and the XTAL output
pin can be used as general I/O. The external oscillator amplitude must not exceed VDD.
Refer to Figure 2-5 for the following discussion. RS (when used) and RF should be low-inductance
resistors such as carbon composition resistors. Wire-wound resistors, and some metal film resistors, have
too much inductance. C1 and C2 normally should be high-quality ceramic capacitors that are specifically
designed for high-frequency applications.
RFis used to provide a bias path to keep the EXTAL input in its linear range during crystal startup and its
value is not generally critical. Typical systems use 1 MΩto 10 MΩ. Higher values are sensitive to humidity
and lower values reduce gain and (in extreme cases) could prevent startup.

C1 and C2 are typically in the 5-pF to 25-pF range and are chosen to match the requirements of a specific
crystal or resonator. Be sure to take into account printed circuit board (PCB) capacitance and MCU pin
capacitance when sizing C1 and C2. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which
is the series combination of C1 and C2 which are usually the same size. As a first-order approximation,
use 10 pF as an estimate of combined pin and PCB capacitance for each oscillator pin (EXTAL and
XTAL).
2.3.3 RESET — External Reset Pin
RESET is a dedicated pin with a pullup device built in. It has input hysteresis, a high current output driver,
and no output slew rate control. Internal power-on reset and low-voltage reset circuitry typically make
external reset circuitry unnecessary. This pin is normally connected to the standard 6-pin background
debug connector so a development system can directly reset the MCU system. If desired, a manual external
reset can be added by supplying a simple switch to ground (pull reset pin low to force a reset).
Whenever any reset is initiated (whether from an external signal or from an internal system), the reset pin
is driven low for approximately 34 cycles of fSelf_reset, released, and sampled again approximately
38 cycles of fSelf_reset later. If reset was caused by an internal source such as low-voltage reset or watchdog
timeout, the circuitry expects the reset pin sample to return a logic 1. The reset circuitry decodes the cause
of reset and records it by setting a corresponding bit in the system control reset status register (SRS).
For EMC-sensitive applications, an external RC filter is recommended on the RESET pin. See Figure 2-5
for an example.
2.3.4 PTG0/BKGD/MS — Background / Mode Select
The background/mode select (BKGD/MS) shares its function with an I/O port pin. While in reset, the pin
functions as a mode select pin. Immediately after reset rises the pin functions as the background pin and
can be used for background debug communication. While functioning as a background/mode select pin,
the pin includes an internal pullup device, input hysteresis, a standard output driver, and no output slew
rate control. When used as an I/O port (PTG0) the pin is limited to output only.
If nothing is connected to this pin, the MCU will enter normal operating mode at the rising edge of reset.
If a debug system is connected to the 6-pin standard background debug header, it can hold BKGD/MS low
during the rising edge of reset which forces the MCU to active background mode.
The BKGD pin is used primarily for background debug controller (BDC) communications using a custom
protocol that uses 16 clock cycles of the target MCU’s BDC clock per bit time. The target MCU’s BDC
clock could be as fast as the maximum bus clock rate, so there should never be any significant capacitance
connected to the BKGD/MS pin that could interfere with background serial communications.
Although the BKGD pin is a pseudo open-drain pin, the background debug communication protocol
provides brief, actively driven, high speedup pulses to ensure fast rise times. Small capacitances from
cables and the absolute value of the internal pullup device play almost no role in determining rise and fall
times on the BKGD pin.

2.3.5 IRQ — External Interrupt Request Pin
IRQ is a dedicated pin with both pullup and pulldown devices built in. This pin has no output capabilities.
After a system reset, the IRQ pin is disabled and must be enabled before use. See Section 5.4.2, “IRQ —
External Interrupt Request Pin” for more details.
For EMC-sensitive applications, an external RC filter is recommended on the IRQ pin. See Figure 2-5 for
an example.
2.3.6 General-Purpose I/O and Peripheral Ports
The remaining 36 pins are shared among general-purpose I/O and on-chip peripheral functions such as
timers and serial I/O systems. (Three of these pins are not bonded out on the 44-pin package, five are not
bonded out on the 42-pin package, and 15 are not bonded out on the 32-pin package.) Immediately after
reset, all 36 of these pins are configured as high-impedance general-purpose inputs with internal pullup
devices disabled.
NOTE
To avoid extra current drain from floating input pins, the reset initialization
routine in the application program should either enable on-chip pullup
devices or change the direction of unused pins to outputs so the pins do not
float.
For information about controlling these pins as general-purpose I/O pins, see Chapter 6, “Parallel
Input/Output.” For information about how and when on-chip peripheral systems use these pins, refer to the
appropriate section from Table 2-1.

When an on-chip peripheral system is controlling a pin, data direction control bits still determine what is
read from port data registers even though the peripheral module controls the pin direction by controlling
the enable for the pin’s output buffer. See Chapter 6, “Parallel Input/Output,” for details.
Pullup enable bits for each input pin control whether on-chip pullup devices are enabled whenever the pin
is acting as an input even if it is being controlled by an on-chip peripheral module. When the PTA7–PTA4
pins are controlled by the KBI module and are configured for rising-edge/high-level sensitivity, the pullup
enable control bits enable pulldown devices rather than pullup devices. Similarly, when IRQ is configured
as the IRQ input and is set to detect rising edges, the pullup enable control bit enables a pulldown device
rather than a pullup device.

Chapter 3
Modes of Operation
3.1 Introduction
The operating modes of the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A are described in this section. Entry into each mode,
exit from each mode, and functionality while in each of the modes are described.
3.1.1 Features
• Active background mode for code development
• Wait mode:
— CPU shuts down to conserve power
— System clocks running
— Full voltage regulation maintained
• Stop modes:
— Stop1 — Full power down of internal circuits for maximum power savings
— Stop2 — Partial power down of internal circuits, RAM contents retained
— Stop3 — All internal circuits powered for fast recovery
3.2 Run Mode
This is the normal operating mode for the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A. This mode is selected when the
BKGD/MS pin is high at the rising edge of reset. In this mode, the CPU executes code from internal
memory with execution beginning at the address fetched from memory at 0xFFFE:0xFFFF after reset.
3.3 Active Background Mode
The active background mode functions are managed through the background debug controller (BDC) in
the HCS08 core. The BDC, together with the on-chip ICE debug module (DBG), provide the means for
analyzing MCU operation during software development.
Active background mode is entered in any of five ways:
• When the BKGD/MS pin is low at the rising edge of reset
• When a BACKGROUND command is received through the BKGD pin
• When a BGND instruction is executed
• When encountering a BDC breakpoint
• When encountering a DBG breakpoint
Modes of Operation
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
34 Freescale Semiconductor
After entering active background mode, the CPU is held in a suspended state waiting for serial background
commands rather than executing instructions from the user’s application program.
Background commands are of two types:
• Non-intrusive commands, defined as commands that can be issued while the user program is
running. Non-intrusive commands can be issued through the BKGD pin while the MCU is in run
mode; non-intrusive commands can also be executed while the MCU is in the active background
mode. Non-intrusive commands include:
— Memory access commands
— Memory-access-with-status commands
— BDC register access commands
— The BACKGROUND command
• Active background commands, which can be executed only while the MCU is in active background
mode. Active background commands include commands to:
— Read or write CPU registers
— Trace one user program instruction at a time
— Leave active background mode to return to the user’s application program (GO)
The active background mode is used to program a bootloader or user application program into the FLASH
program memory before the MCU is operated in run mode for the first time. When the
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A is shipped from the Freescale Semiconductor factory, the FLASH program
memory is erased by default unless specifically noted so there is no program that could be executed in run
mode until the FLASH memory is initially programmed. The active background mode can also be used to
erase and reprogram the FLASH memory after it has been previously programmed.
For additional information about the active background mode, refer to Chapter 15, “Development
Support.”
3.4 Wait Mode
Wait mode is entered by executing a WAIT instruction. Upon execution of the WAIT instruction, the CPU
enters a low-power state in which it is not clocked. The I bit in CCR is cleared when the CPU enters the
wait mode, enabling interrupts. When an interrupt request occurs, the CPU exits the wait mode and
resumes processing, beginning with the stacking operations leading to the interrupt service routine.
While the MCU is in wait mode, there are some restrictions on which background debug commands can
be used. Only the BACKGROUND command and memory-access-with-status commands are available
when the MCU is in wait mode. The memory-access-with-status commands do not allow memory access,
but they report an error indicating that the MCU is in either stop or wait mode. The BACKGROUND
command can be used to wake the MCU from wait mode and enter active background mode.
Modes of Operation
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 35
3.5 Stop Modes
One of three stop modes is entered upon execution of a STOP instruction when the STOPE bit in the
system option register is set. In all stop modes, all internal clocks are halted. If the STOPE bit is not set
when the CPU executes a STOP instruction, the MCU will not enter any of the stop modes and an illegal
opcode reset is forced. The stop modes are selected by setting the appropriate bits in SPMSC2.
Table 3-1 summarizes the behavior of the MCU in each of the stop modes.
3.5.1 Stop1 Mode
The stop1 mode provides the lowest possible standby power consumption by causing the internal circuitry
of the MCU to be powered down. Stop1 can be entered only if the LVD circuit is not enabled in stop modes
(either LVDE or LVDSE not set).
When the MCU is in stop1 mode, all internal circuits that are powered from the voltage regulator are turned
off. The voltage regulator is in a low-power standby state, as is the ATD.
Exit from stop1 is performed by asserting either of the wake-up pins on the MCU: RESET or IRQ. IRQ is
always an active low input when the MCU is in stop1, regardless of how it was configured before entering
stop1.
Entering stop1 mode automatically asserts LVD. Stop1 cannot be exited until VDD >V
LVDH/L rising (VDD
must rise above the LVI rearm voltage).
Upon wake-up from stop1 mode, the MCU will start up as from a power-on reset (POR). The CPU will
take the reset vector.
3.5.2 Stop2 Mode
The stop2 mode provides very low standby power consumption and maintains the contents of RAM and
the current state of all of the I/O pins. Stop2 can be entered only if the LVD circuit is not enabled in stop
modes (either LVDE or LVDSE not set).

36 Freescale Semiconductor
Before entering stop2 mode, the user must save the contents of the I/O port registers, as well as any other
memory-mapped registers they want to restore after exit of stop2, to locations in RAM. Upon exit of stop2,
these values can be restored by user software before pin latches are opened.
When the MCU is in stop2 mode, all internal circuits that are powered from the voltage regulator are turned
off, except for the RAM. The voltage regulator is in a low-power standby state, as is the ATD. Upon entry
into stop2, the states of the I/O pins are latched. The states are held while in stop2 mode and after exiting
stop2 mode until a 1 is written to PPDACK in SPMSC2.
Exit from stop2 is performed by asserting either of the wake-up pins: RESET or IRQ, or by an RTI
interrupt. IRQ is always an active low input when the MCU is in stop2, regardless of how it was configured
before entering stop2.
Upon wake-up from stop2 mode, the MCU will start up as from a power-on reset (POR) except pin states
remain latched. The CPU will take the reset vector. The system and all peripherals will be in their default
reset states and must be initialized.
After waking up from stop2, the PPDF bit in SPMSC2 is set. This flag may be used to direct user code to
go to a stop2 recovery routine. PPDF remains set and the I/O pin states remain latched until a 1 is written
to PPDACK in SPMSC2.
To maintain I/O state for pins that were configured as general-purpose I/O, the user must restore the
contents of the I/O port registers, which have been saved in RAM, to the port registers before writing to
the PPDACK bit. If the port registers are not restored from RAM before writing to PPDACK, then the
register bits will assume their reset states when the I/O pin latches are opened and the I/O pins will switch
to their reset states.
For pins that were configured as peripheral I/O, the user must reconfigure the peripheral module that
interfaces to the pin before writing to the PPDACK bit. If the peripheral module is not enabled before
writing to PPDACK, the pins will be controlled by their associated port control registers when the I/O
latches are opened.
3.5.3 Stop3 Mode
Upon entering the stop3 mode, all of the clocks in the MCU, including the oscillator itself, are halted. The
ICG is turned off, the ATD is disabled, and the voltage regulator is put in standby. The states of all of the
internal registers and logic, as well as the RAM content, are maintained. The I/O pin states are not latched
at the pin as in stop2. Instead they are maintained by virtue of the states of the internal logic driving the
pins being maintained.
Exit from stop3 is performed by asserting RESET, an asynchronous interrupt pin, or through the real-time
interrupt. The asynchronous interrupt pins are the IRQ or KBI pins.
If stop3 is exited by means of the RESET pin, then the MCU will be reset and operation will resume after
taking the reset vector. Exit by means of an asynchronous interrupt or the real-time interrupt will result in
the MCU taking the appropriate interrupt vector.
A separate self-clocked source (≈1 kHz) for the real-time interrupt allows a wakeup from stop2 or stop3
mode with no external components. When RTIS2:RTIS1:RTIS0 = 0:0:0, the real-time interrupt function
Modes of Operation
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 37
and this 1-kHz source are disabled. Power consumption is lower when the 1-kHz source is disabled, but in
that case the real-time interrupt cannot wake the MCU from stop.
3.5.4 Active BDM Enabled in Stop Mode
Entry into the active background mode from run mode is enabled if the ENBDM bit in BDCSCR is set.
This register is described in the Chapter 15, “Development Support,” section of this data sheet. If ENBDM
is set when the CPU executes a STOP instruction, the system clocks to the background debug logic remain
active when the MCU enters stop mode so background debug communication is still possible. In addition,
the voltage regulator does not enter its low-power standby state but maintains full internal regulation. If
the user attempts to enter either stop1 or stop2 with ENBDM set, the MCU will instead enter stop3.
Most background commands are not available in stop mode. The memory-access-with-status commands
do not allow memory access, but they report an error indicating that the MCU is in either stop or wait
mode. The BACKGROUND command can be used to wake the MCU from stop and enter active
background mode if the ENBDM bit is set. After the device enters background debug mode, all
background commands are available. The table below summarizes the behavior of the MCU in stop when
entry into the background debug mode is enabled.
3.5.5 LVD Enabled in Stop Mode
The LVD system is capable of generating either an interrupt or a reset when the supply voltage drops below
the LVD voltage. If the LVD is enabled in stop by setting the LVDE and the LVDSE bits in SPMSC1 when
the CPU executes a STOP instruction, then the voltage regulator remains active during stop mode. If the
user attempts to enter either stop1 or stop2 with the LVD enabled for stop (LVDSE = 1), the MCU will
instead enter stop3. The table below summarizes the behavior of the MCU in stop when the LVD is
enabled.

3.5.6 On-Chip Peripheral Modules in Stop Modes
When the MCU enters any stop mode, system clocks to the internal peripheral modules are stopped. Even
in the exception case (ENBDM = 1), where clocks to the background debug logic continue to operate,
clocks to the peripheral systems are halted to reduce power consumption. Refer to Section 3.5.1, “Stop1
Mode,” Section 3.5.2, “Stop2 Mode,” and Section 3.5.3, “Stop3 Mode,” for specific information on system
behavior in stop modes.
I/O Pins
• All I/O pin states remain unchanged when the MCU enters stop3 mode.
• If the MCU is configured to go into stop2 mode, all I/O pins states are latched before entering stop.
• If the MCU is configured to go into stop1 mode, all I/O pins are forced to their default reset state
upon entry into stop.
Memory
• All RAM and register contents are preserved while the MCU is in stop3 mode.
• All registers will be reset upon wake-up from stop2, but the contents of RAM are preserved and
pin states remain latched until the PPDACK bit is written. The user may save any memory-mapped
register data into RAM before entering stop2 and restore the data upon exit from stop2.
• All registers will be reset upon wake-up from stop1 and the contents of RAM are not preserved.
The MCU must be initialized as upon reset. The contents of the FLASH memory are nonvolatile
and are preserved in any of the stop modes.
ICG — In stop3 mode, the ICG enters its low-power standby state. Either the oscillator or the internal
reference may be kept running when the ICG is in standby by setting the appropriate control bit. In both
stop2 and stop1 modes, the ICG is turned off. Neither the oscillator nor the internal reference can be kept
running in stop2 or stop1, even if enabled within the ICG module.
TPM — When the MCU enters stop mode, the clock to the TPM1 and TPM2 modules stop. The modules
halt operation. If the MCU is configured to go into stop2 or stop1 mode, the TPM modules will be reset
upon wake-up from stop and must be reinitialized.
ATD — When the MCU enters stop mode, the ATD will enter a low-power standby state.No conversion
operation will occur while in stop. If the MCU is configured to go into stop2 or stop1 mode, the ATD will
be reset upon wake-up from stop and must be reinitialized.
KBI — During stop3, the KBI pins that are enabled continue to function as interrupt sources that are
capable of waking the MCU from stop3. The KBI is disabled in stop1 and stop2 and must be reinitialized
after waking up from either of these modes.
SCI — When the MCU enters stop mode, the clocks to the SCI1 and SCI2 modules stop. The modules
halt operation. If the MCU is configured to go into stop2 or stop1 mode, the SCI modules will be reset
upon wake-up from stop and must be reinitialized.
SPI — When the MCU enters stop mode, the clocks to the SPI module stop. The module halts operation.
If the MCU is configured to go into stop2 or stop1 mode, the SPI module will be reset upon wake-up from
stop and must be reinitialized.

IIC — When the MCU enters stop mode, the clocks to the IIC module stops. The module halts operation.
If the MCU is configured to go into stop2 or stop1 mode, the IIC module will be reset upon wake-up from
stop and must be reinitialized.
Voltage Regulator — The voltage regulator enters a low-power standby state when the MCU enters any
of the stop modes unless the LVD is enabled in stop mode or BDM is enabled.

4.2 Register Addresses and Bit Assignments
The registers in the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A are divided into these three groups:
• Direct-page registers are located in the first 128 locations in the memory map, so they are
accessible with efficient direct addressing mode instructions.
• High-page registers are used much less often, so they are located above 0x1800 in the memory
map. This leaves more room in the direct page for more frequently used registers and variables.
• The nonvolatile register area consists of a block of 16 locations in FLASH memory at
0xFFB0–0xFFBF.
Nonvolatile register locations include:
— Three values which are loaded into working registers at reset
— An 8-byte backdoor comparison key which optionally allows a user to gain controlled access
to secure memory
Because the nonvolatile register locations are FLASH memory, they must be erased and
programmed like other FLASH memory locations.
Direct-page registers can be accessed with efficient direct addressing mode instructions. Bit manipulation
instructions can be used to access any bit in any direct-page register. Table 4-2 is a summary of all
user-accessible direct-page registers and control bits.
The direct page registers in Table 4-2 can use the more efficient direct addressing mode which only
requires the lower byte of the address. Because of this, the lower byte of the address in column one is
shown in bold text. In Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 the whole address in column one is shown in bold. In
Table 4-2,Table 4-3, and Table 4-4, the register names in column two are shown in bold to set them apart
from the bit names to the right. Cells that are not associated with named bits are shaded. A shaded cell with
a 0 indicates this unused bit always reads as a 0. Shaded cells with dashes indicate unused or reserved bit
locations that could read as 1s or 0s.

Nonvolatile FLASH registers, shown in Table 4-4, are located in the FLASH memory. These registers
include an 8-byte backdoor key which optionally can be used to gain access to secure memory resources.
During reset events, the contents of NVPROT and NVOPT in the nonvolatile register area of the FLASH
memory are transferred into corresponding FPROT and FOPT working registers in the high-page registers
to control security and block protection options.
Provided the key enable (KEYEN) bit is 1, the 8-byte comparison key can be used to temporarily
disengage memory security. This key mechanism can be accessed only through user code running in secure
memory. (A security key cannot be entered directly through background debug commands.) This security
key can be disabled completely by programming the KEYEN bit to 0. If the security key is disabled, the

only way to disengage security is by mass erasing the FLASH if needed (normally through the background
debug interface) and verifying that FLASH is blank. To avoid returning to secure mode after the next reset,
program the security bits (SEC01:SEC00) to the unsecured state (1:0).
4.3 RAM
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A includes static RAM. The locations in RAM below 0x0100 can be accessed
using the more efficient direct addressing mode, and any single bit in this area can be accessed with the bit
manipulation instructions (BCLR, BSET, BRCLR, and BRSET). Locating the most frequently accessed
program variables in this area of RAM is preferred.
The RAM retains data when the MCU is in low-power wait, stop2, or stop3 mode. At power-on or after
wakeup from stop1, the contents of RAM are uninitialized. RAM data is unaffected by any reset provided
that the supply voltage does not drop below the minimum value for RAM retention.
For compatibility with older M68HC05 MCUs, the HCS08 resets the stack pointer to 0x00FF. In the
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A, it is usually best to re-initialize the stack pointer to the top of the RAM so the
direct page RAM can be used for frequently accessed RAM variables and bit-addressable program
variables. Include the following 2-instruction sequence in your reset initialization routine (where RamLast
is equated to the highest address of the RAM in the Freescale-provided equate file).
LDHX #RamLast+1 ;point one past RAM
TXS ;SP<-(H:X-1)
When security is enabled, the RAM is considered a secure memory resource and is not accessible through
BDM or through code executing from non-secure memory. See Section 4.5, “Security,” for a detailed
description of the security feature.
4.4 FLASH
The FLASH memory is intended primarily for program storage. In-circuit programming allows the
operating program to be loaded into the FLASH memory after final assembly of the application product.
It is possible to program the entire array through the single-wire background debug interface. Because no
special voltages are needed for FLASH erase and programming operations, in-application programming
is also possible through other software-controlled communication paths. For a more detailed discussion of
in-circuit and in-application programming, refer to the HCS08 Family Reference Manual, Volume I,
Freescale Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMV1/D.
4.4.1 Features
Features of the FLASH memory include:
• FLASH Size
— MC9S08GT16A — 16384 bytes (32 pages of 512 bytes each)
— MC9S08GT8A — 8192 bytes (16 pages of 512 bytes each)
• Single power supply program and erase down to 1.8 V
• Command interface for fast program and erase operation
• Up to 100,000 program/erase cycles at typical voltage and temperature

Freescale Semiconductor 49
• Flexible block protection
• Security feature for FLASH and RAM
• Auto power-down for low-frequency read accesses
4.4.2 Program and Erase Times
Before any program or erase command can be accepted, the FLASH clock divider register (FCDIV) must
be written to set the internal clock for the FLASH module to a frequency (fFCLK) between 150 kHz and
200 kHz (see Table 4.6.1). This register can be written only once, so normally this write is done during
reset initialization. FCDIV cannot be written if the access error flag, FACCERR in FSTAT, is set. The user
must ensure that FACCERR is not set before writing to the FCDIV register. One period of the resulting
clock (1/fFCLK) is used by the command processor to time program and erase pulses. An integer number
of these timing pulses is used by the command processor to complete a program or erase command.
Table 4-5 shows program and erase times. The bus clock frequency and FCDIV determine the frequency
of FCLK (fFCLK). The time for one cycle of FCLK is tFCLK = 1/fFCLK. The times are shown as a number
of cycles of FCLK and as an absolute time for the case where tFCLK =5µs. Program and erase times
shown include overhead for the command state machine and enabling and disabling of program and erase
voltages.
4.4.3 Program and Erase Command Execution
The steps for executing any of the commands are listed below. The FCDIV register must be initialized and
any error flags cleared before beginning command execution. The command execution steps are:
1. Write a data value to an address in the FLASH array. The address and data information from this
write is latched into the FLASH interface. This write is a required first step in any command
sequence. For erase and blank check commands, the value of the data is not important. For page
erase commands, the address may be any address in the 512-byte page of FLASH to be erased. For
mass erase and blank check commands, the address can be any address in the FLASH memory.
Whole pages of 512 bytes are the smallest blocks of FLASH that may be erased.

NOTE
Do not program any byte in the FLASH more than once after a successful
erase operation. Reprogramming bits in a byte which is already
programmed is not allowed without first erasing the page in which the byte
resides or mass erasing the entire FLASH memory. Programming without
first erasing may disturb data stored in the FLASH.
2. Write the command code for the desired command to FCMD. The five valid commands are blank
check (0x05), byte program (0x20), burst program (0x25), page erase (0x40), and mass erase
(0x41). The command code is latched into the command buffer.
3. Write a 1 to the FCBEF bit in FSTAT to clear FCBEF and launch the command (including its
address and data information).
A partial command sequence can be aborted manually by writing a 0 to FCBEF any time after the write to
the memory array and before writing the 1 that clears FCBEF and launches the complete command.
Aborting a command in this way sets the FACCERR access error flag which must be cleared before
starting a new command.
A strictly monitored procedure must be adhered to, or the command will not be accepted. This minimizes
the possibility of any unintended change to the FLASH memory contents. The command complete flag
(FCCF) indicates when a command is complete. The command sequence must be completed by clearing
FCBEF to launch the command. Figure 4-2 is a flowchart for executing all of the commands except for
burst programming. The FCDIV register must be initialized before using any FLASH commands. This
must be done only once following a reset.

4.4.4 Burst Program Execution
The burst program command is used to program sequential bytes of data in less time than would be
required using the standard program command. This is possible because the high voltage to the FLASH
array does not need to be disabled between program operations. Ordinarily, when a program or erase
command is issued, an internal charge pump associated with the FLASH memory must be enabled to
supply high voltage to the array. Upon completion of the command, the charge pump is turned off. When
a burst program command is issued, the charge pump is enabled and then remains enabled after completion
of the burst program operation if the following two conditions are met:
1. The next burst program command has been queued before the current program operation has
completed.
2. The next sequential address selects a byte on the same physical row as the current byte being
programmed. A row of FLASH memory consists of 64 bytes. A byte within a row is selected by
addresses A5 through A0. A new row begins when addresses A5 through A0 are all zero.
The first byte of a series of sequential bytes being programmed in burst mode will take the same amount
of time to program as a byte programmed in standard mode. Subsequent bytes will program in the burst

program time provided that the conditions above are met. In the case the next sequential address is the
beginning of a new row, the program time for that byte will be the standard time instead of the burst time.
This is because the high voltage to the array must be disabled and then enabled again. If a new burst
command has not been queued before the current command completes, then the charge pump will be
disabled and high voltage removed from the array.

4.4.5 Access Errors
An access error occurs whenever the command execution protocol is violated.
Any of the following specific actions will cause the access error flag (FACCERR) in FSTAT to be set.
FACCERR must be cleared by writing a 1 to FACCERR in FSTAT before any command can be processed.
• Writing to a FLASH address before the internal FLASH clock frequency has been set by writing
to the FCDIV register
• Writing to a FLASH address while FCBEF is not set (A new command cannot be started until the
command buffer is empty.)
• Writing a second time to a FLASH address before launching the previous command (There is only
one write to FLASH for every command.)
• Writing a second time to FCMD before launching the previous command (There is only one write
to FCMD for every command.)
• Writing to any FLASH control register other than FCMD after writing to a FLASH address
• Writing any command code other than the five allowed codes (0x05, 0x20, 0x25, 0x40, or 0x41)
to FCMD
• Accessing (read or write) any FLASH control register other than the write to FSTAT (to clear
FCBEF and launch the command) after writing the command to FCMD
• The MCU enters stop mode while a program or erase command is in progress (The command is
aborted.)
• Writing the byte program, burst program, or page erase command code (0x20, 0x25, or 0x40) with
a background debug command while the MCU is secured (The background debug controller can
only do blank check and mass erase commands when the MCU is secure.)
• Writing 0 to FCBEF to cancel a partial command
4.4.6 FLASH Block Protection
The block protection feature prevents the protected region of FLASH from program or erase changes.
Block protection is controlled through the FLASH Protection Register (FPROT). When enabled, block
protection begins at any 512 byte boundary and continues through 0xFFFF. (see Section 4.6.4, “FLASH
Protection Register (FPROT and NVPROT)”).
After exit from reset, FPROT is loaded with the contents of the NVPROT location which is in the
nonvolatile register block of the FLASH memory. FPROT cannot be changed directly from application
software so a runaway program cannot alter the block protection settings. Since NVPROT is within the last
512 bytes of FLASH, if any amount of memory is protected, NVPROT is itself protected and cannot be
altered (intentionally or unintentionally) by the application software. FPROT can be written through
background debug commands which allows a way to erase and reprogram a protected FLASH memory.
The block protection mechanism is illustrated below. The FPS bits are used as the upper bits of the last
address of unprotected memory. This address is formed by concatenating FPS7:FPS1 with logic 1 bits as
shown. For example, in order to protect the last 8192 bytes of memory (addresses 0xE000 through
0xFFFF), the FPS bits must be set to 1101 111 which results in the value 0xDFFF as the last address of
unprotected memory. In addition to programming the FPS bits to the appropriate value, FPDIS (bit 0 of
Memory
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
54 Freescale Semiconductor
NVPROT) must be programmed to logic 0 to enable block protection. Therefore the value 0xDE must be
programmed into NVPROT to protect addresses 0xE000 through 0xFFFF.
Figure 4-4. Block Protection Mechanism
One use for block protection is to block protect an area of FLASH memory for a bootloader program. This
bootloader program then can be used to erase the rest of the FLASH memory and reprogram it. Because
the bootloader is protected, it remains intact even if MCU power is lost in the middle of an erase and
reprogram operation.
4.4.7 Vector Redirection
Whenever any block protection is enabled, the reset and interrupt vectors will be protected. Vector
redirection allows users to modify interrupt vector information without unprotecting bootloader and reset
vector space. Vector redirection is enabled by programming the FNORED bit in the NVOPT register
located at address 0xFFBF to zero. For redirection to occur, at least some portion but not all of the FLASH
memory must be block protected by programming the NVPROT register located at address 0xFFBD. All
of the interrupt vectors (memory locations 0xFFC0–0xFFFD) are redirected, while the reset vector
(0xFFFE:FFFF) is not.
For example, if 512 bytes of FLASH are protected, the protected address region is from 0xFE00 through
0xFFFF. The interrupt vectors (0xFFC0–0xFFFD) are redirected to the locations 0xFDC0–0xFDFD. Now,
if an SPI interrupt is taken for instance, the values in the locations 0xFDE0:FDE1 are used for the vector
instead of the values in the locations 0xFFE0:FFE1. This allows the user to reprogram the unprotected
portion of the FLASH with new program code including new interrupt vector values while leaving the
protected area, which includes the default vector locations, unchanged.
4.5 Security
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A includes circuitry to prevent unauthorized access to the contents of FLASH
and RAM memory. When security is engaged, FLASH and RAM are considered secure resources.
Direct-page registers, high-page registers, and the background debug controller are considered unsecured
resources. Programs executing within secure memory have normal access to any MCU memory locations
and resources. Attempts to access a secure memory location with a program executing from an unsecured
memory space or through the background debug interface are blocked (writes are ignored and reads return
all 0s).
Security is engaged or disengaged based on the state of two nonvolatile register bits (SEC01:SEC00) in
the FOPT register. During reset, the contents of the nonvolatile location NVOPT are copied from FLASH
into the working FOPT register in high-page register space. A user engages security by programming the
NVOPT location which can be done at the same time the FLASH memory is programmed. The 1:0 state
disengages security while the other three combinations engage security. Notice the erased state (1:1)

makes the MCU secure. During development, whenever the FLASH is erased, it is good practice to
immediately program the SEC00 bit to 0 in NVOPT so SEC01:SEC00 = 1:0. This would allow the MCU
to remain unsecured after a subsequent reset.
The on-chip debug module cannot be enabled while the MCU is secure. The separate background debug
controller can still be used for background memory access commands, but the MCU cannot enter active
background mode except by holding BKGD/MS low at the rising edge of reset.
A user can choose to allow or disallow a security unlocking mechanism through an 8-byte backdoor
security key. If the nonvolatile KEYEN bit in NVOPT/FOPT is 0, the backdoor key is disabled and there
is no way to disengage security without completely erasing all FLASH locations. If KEYEN is 1, a secure
user program can temporarily disengage security by:
1. Writing 1 to KEYACC in the FCNFG register. This makes the FLASH module interpret writes to
the backdoor comparison key locations (NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7) as values to
be compared against the key rather than as the first step in a FLASH program or erase command.
2. Writing the user-entered key values to the NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7 locations.
These writes must be done in order, starting with the value for NVBACKKEY and ending with
NVBACKKEY+7. STHX should not be used for these writes because these writes cannot be done
on adjacent bus cycles. User software normally would get the key codes from outside the MCU
system through a communication interface such as a serial I/O.
3. Writing 0 to KEYACC in the FCNFG register. If the 8-byte key that was just written matches the
key stored in the FLASH locations, SEC01:SEC00 are automatically changed to 1:0 and security
will be disengaged until the next reset.
The security key can be written only from RAM, so it cannot be entered through background commands
without the cooperation of a secure user program.
The backdoor comparison key (NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7) is located in FLASH memory
locations in the nonvolatile register space so users can program these locations exactly as they would
program any other FLASH memory location. The nonvolatile registers are in the same 512-byte block of
FLASH as the reset and interrupt vectors, so block protecting that space also block protects the backdoor
comparison key. Block protects cannot be changed from user application programs, so if the vector space
is block protected, the backdoor security key mechanism cannot permanently change the block protect,
security settings, or the backdoor key.
Security can always be disengaged through the background debug interface by performing these steps:
1. Disable any block protections by writing FPROT. FPROT can be written only with background
debug commands, not from application software.
2. Mass erase FLASH, if necessary.
3. Blank check FLASH. Provided FLASH is completely erased, security is disengaged until the next
reset.
To avoid returning to secure mode after the next reset, program NVOPT so SEC01:SEC00 = 1:0.

4.6 Register Definition
The FLASH module has registers in the high-page register space, three locations in the nonvolatile register
space in FLASH memory that are copied into three corresponding high-page control registers at reset.
There is also an 8-byte comparison key in FLASH memory. Refer to Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 for the
absolute address assignments for all FLASH registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only
by their names. A Freescale-provided equate or header file normally is used to translate these names into
the appropriate absolute addresses.
4.6.1 FLASH Clock Divider Register (FCDIV)
Bit 7 of this register is a read-only status flag. Bits 6 through 0 may be read at any time but can be written
only one time. Before any erase or programming operations are possible, write to this register to set the
frequency of the clock for the nonvolatile memory system within acceptable limits.

Divisor for FLASH Clock Divider — The FLASH clock divider divides the bus rate clock (or the bus rate clock

internal FLASH clock must fall within the range of 200 kHz to 150 kHz for proper FLASH operations.
Program/erase timing pulses are one cycle of this internal FLASH clock, which corresponds to a range of 5 µs
to 6.7 µs. The automated programming logic uses an integer number of these pulses to complete an erase or
program operation. See Equation 4-1 and Equation 4-2.Table 4-7 shows the appropriate values for PRDIV8 and
DIV5:DIV0 for selected bus frequencies.

Resets, Interrupts, and System Configuration
5.1 Introduction
This section discusses basic reset and interrupt mechanisms and the various sources of reset and interrupts
in the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A. Some interrupt sources from peripheral modules are discussed in greater
detail within other sections of this data manual. This section gathers basic information about all reset and
interrupt sources in one place for easy reference. A few reset and interrupt sources, including the computer
operating properly (COP) watchdog and real-time interrupt (RTI), are not part of on-chip peripheral
systems with their own sections but are part of the system control logic.
5.1.1 Features
Reset and interrupt features include:
• Multiple sources of reset for flexible system configuration and reliable operation:
— Power-on detection (POR)
— Low voltage detection (LVD) with enable
— External RESET pin with enable
— COP watchdog with enable and two timeout choices
— Illegal opcode
— Illegal address
— Serial command from a background debug host
• Reset status register (SRS) to indicate source of most recent reset
• Separate interrupt vectors for each module (reduces polling overhead) (see Table 5-1)
5.2 MCU Reset
Resetting the MCU provides a way to start processing from a known set of initial conditions. During reset,
most control and status registers are forced to initial values and the program counter is loaded from the
reset vector (0xFFFE:0xFFFF). On-chip peripheral modules are disabled and I/O pins are initially
configured as general-purpose high-impedance inputs with pullup devices disabled. The I bit in the
condition code register (CCR) is set to block maskable interrupts so the user program has a chance to
initialize the stack pointer (SP) and system control settings. SP is forced to 0x00FF at reset.
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A has eight sources for reset:
• Power-on reset (POR)
• Low-voltage detect (LVD)
Resets, Interrupts, and System Configuration
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
64 Freescale Semiconductor
• Computer operating properly (COP) watchdog timer
• Illegal opcode detect
• Illegal address detect
• Background debug forced reset
• The reset pin (RESET)
• Clock generator loss of lock and loss of clock reset
Each of these sources, with the exception of the background debug forced reset, has an associated bit in
the system reset status register. Whenever the MCU enters reset, the internal clock generator (ICG) module
switches to self-clocked mode with the frequency of fSelf_reset selected. The reset pin is driven low for 34
internal bus cycles where the internal bus frequency is half the ICG frequency. After the 34 cycles are
completed, the pin is released and will be pulled up by the internal pullup resistor, unless it is held low
externally. After the pin is released, it is sampled after another 38 cycles to determine whether the reset pin
is the cause of the MCU reset.
5.3 Computer Operating Properly (COP) Watchdog
The COP watchdog is intended to force a system reset when the application software fails to execute as
expected. To prevent a system reset from the COP timer (when it is enabled), application software must
reset the COP timer periodically. If the application program gets lost and fails to reset the COP before it
times out, a system reset is generated to force the system back to a known starting point. The COP
watchdog is enabled by the COPE bit in SOPT (see Section 5.7.4, “System Options Register (SOPT)”for
additional information). The COP timer is reset by writing any value to the address of SRS. This write does
not affect the data in the read-only SRS. Instead, the act of writing to this address is decoded and sends a
reset signal to the COP timer.
After any reset, the COP timer is enabled. This provides a reliable way to detect code that is not executing
as intended. If the COP watchdog is not used in an application, it can be disabled by clearing the COPE
bit in the write-once SOPT register. Also, the COPT bit can be used to choose one of two timeout periods
(218 or 213 cycles of the bus rate clock). Even if the application will use the reset default settings in COPE
and COPT, the user should still write to write-once SOPT during reset initialization to lock in the settings.
That way, they cannot be changed accidentally if the application program gets lost.
The write to SRS that services (clears) the COP timer should not be placed in an interrupt service routine
(ISR) because the ISR could continue to be executed periodically even if the main application program
fails.
When the MCU is in active background mode, the COP timer is temporarily disabled.
5.4 Interrupts
Interrupts provide a way to save the current CPU status and registers, execute an interrupt service routine
(ISR), and then restore the CPU status so processing resumes where it left off before the interrupt. Other
than the software interrupt (SWI), which is a program instruction, interrupts are caused by hardware events
such as an edge on the IRQ pin or a timer-overflow event. The debug module can also generate an SWI
under certain circumstances.
Resets, Interrupts, and System Configuration
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 65
If an event occurs in an enabled interrupt source, an associated read-only status flag will become set. The
CPU will not respond until and unless the local interrupt enable is set to 1 to enable the interrupt. The I bit
in the CCR is 0 to allow interrupts. The global interrupt mask (I bit) in the CCR is initially set after reset,
which masks (prevents) all maskable interrupt sources. The user program initializes the stack pointer and
performs other system setup before clearing the I bit to allow the CPU to respond to interrupts.
When the CPU receives a qualified interrupt request, it completes the current instruction before responding
to the interrupt. The interrupt sequence follows the same cycle-by-cycle sequence as the SWI instruction
and consists of:
• Saving the CPU registers on the stack
• Setting the I bit in the CCR to mask further interrupts
• Fetching the interrupt vector for the highest-priority interrupt that is currently pending
• Filling the instruction queue with the first three bytes of program information starting from the
address fetched from the interrupt vector locations
While the CPU is responding to the interrupt, the I bit is automatically set to avoid the possibility of another
interrupt interrupting the ISR itself (this is called nesting of interrupts). Normally, the I bit is restored to 0
when the CCR is restored from the value stacked on entry to the ISR. In rare cases, the I bit may be cleared
inside an ISR (after clearing the status flag that generated the interrupt) so that other interrupts can be
serviced without waiting for the first service routine to finish. This practice is not recommended for anyone
other than the most experienced programmers because it can lead to subtle program errors that are difficult
to debug.
The interrupt service routine ends with a return-from-interrupt (RTI) instruction which restores the CCR,
A, X, and PC registers to their pre-interrupt values by reading the previously saved information off the
stack.
NOTE
For compatibility with the M68HC08, the H register is not automatically
saved and restored. It is good programming practice to push H onto the stack
at the start of the interrupt service routine (ISR) and restore it just before the
RTI that is used to return from the ISR.
When two or more interrupts are pending when the I bit is cleared, the highest priority source is serviced
first (see Table 5-1).
5.4.1 Interrupt Stack Frame
Figure 5-1 shows the contents and organization of a stack frame. Before the interrupt, the stack pointer
(SP) points at the next available byte location on the stack. The current values of CPU registers are stored
on the stack starting with the low-order byte of the program counter (PCL) and ending with the CCR. After
stacking, the SP points at the next available location on the stack which is the address that is one less than
the address where the CCR was saved. The PC value that is stacked is the address of the instruction in the
main program that would have executed next if the interrupt had not occurred.
Resets, Interrupts, and System Configuration
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
66 Freescale Semiconductor
Figure 5-1. Interrupt Stack Frame
When an RTI instruction is executed, these values are recovered from the stack in reverse order. As part of
the RTI sequence, the CPU fills the instruction pipeline by reading three bytes of program information,
starting from the PC address just recovered from the stack.
The status flag causing the interrupt must be acknowledged (cleared) before returning from the ISR.
Typically, the flag should be cleared at the beginning of the ISR so that if another interrupt is generated by
this same source, it will be registered so it can be serviced after completion of the current ISR.
5.4.2 IRQ — External Interrupt Request Pin
External interrupts are managed by the IRQSC status and control register. When the IRQ function is
enabled, synchronous logic monitors the pin for edge-only or edge-and-level events. When the MCU is in
stop mode and system clocks are shut down, a separate asynchronous path is used so the IRQ (if enabled)
can wake the MCU.
5.4.2.1 Pin Configuration Options
The IRQ pin enable (IRQPE) control bit in the IRQSC register must be 1 for the IRQ pin to act as the
interrupt request (IRQ) input. When the pin is configured as an IRQ input, the user can choose the polarity
of edges or levels detected (IRQEDG), whether the pin detects edges-only or edges and levels (IRQMOD),
and whether an event causes an interrupt or only sets the IRQF flag (which can be polled by software).
When the IRQ pin is configured to detect rising edges, an optional pulldown resistor is available rather than
a pullup resistor. BIH and BIL instructions may be used to detect the level on the IRQ pin when the pin is
configured to act as the IRQ input.
NOTE
The voltage measured on the pulled up IRQ pin may be as low as VDD –
0.7 V. The internal gates connected to this pin are pulled all the way to VDD.
All other pins with enabled pullup resistors will have an unloaded
measurement of VDD.

5.4.2.2 Edge and Level Sensitivity
The IRQMOD control bit re-configures the detection logic so it detects edge events and pin levels. In this
edge detection mode, the IRQF status flag becomes set when an edge is detected (when the IRQ pin
changes from the deasserted to the asserted level), but the flag is continuously set (and cannot be cleared)
as long as the IRQ pin remains at the asserted level.
5.4.3 Interrupt Vectors, Sources, and Local Masks
Table 5-1 provides a summary of all interrupt sources. Higher-priority sources are located toward the
bottom of the table. The high-order byte of the address for the interrupt service routine is located at the
first address in the vector address column, and the low-order byte of the address for the interrupt service
routine is located at the next higher address.
When an interrupt condition occurs, an associated flag bit becomes set. If the associated local interrupt
enable is 1, an interrupt request is sent to the CPU. Within the CPU, if the global interrupt mask (I bit in
the CCR) is 0, the CPU will finish the current instruction, stack the PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR CPU
registers, set the I bit, and then fetch the interrupt vector for the highest priority pending interrupt.
Processing then continues in the interrupt service routine.

5.5 Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) System
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A includes a system to protect against low voltage conditions to protect memory
contents and control MCU system states during supply voltage variations. The system comprises a
power-on reset (POR) circuit and an LVD circuit with a user selectable trip voltage, either high (VLVDH)
or low (VLVDL). The LVD circuit is enabled when LVDE in SPMSC1 is high and the trip voltage is selected
by LVDV in SPMSC2. The LVD is disabled upon entering any of the stop modes unless the LVDSE bit is
set. If LVDSE and LVDE are both set, then the MCU cannot enter stop1 or stop2, and the current
consumption in stop3 with the LVD enabled will be greater.
5.5.1 Power-On Reset Operation
When power is initially applied to the MCU, or when the supply voltage drops below the VPOR level, the
POR circuit will cause a reset condition. As the supply voltage rises, the LVD circuit will hold the chip in
reset until the supply has risen above the VLVDL level. Both the POR bit and the LVD bit in SRS are set
following a POR.
5.5.2 LVD Reset Operation
The LVD can be configured to generate a reset upon detection of a low voltage condition by setting
LVDRE to 1. After an LVD reset has occurred, the LVD system will hold the MCU in reset until the supply
voltage has risen above the level determined by LVDV. The LVD bit in the SRS register is set following
either an LVD reset or POR.
5.5.3 LVD Interrupt Operation
When a low voltage condition is detected and the LVD circuit is configured for interrupt operation (LVDE
set, LVDIE set, and LVDRE clear), then LVDF will be set and an LVD interrupt will occur.
5.5.4 Low-Voltage Warning (LVW)
The LVD system has a low voltage warning flag to indicate to the user that the supply voltage is
approaching, but is still above, the LVD voltage. The LVW does not have an interrupt associated with it.
There are two user selectable trip voltages for the LVW, one high (VLVWH) and one low (VLVWL). The trip
voltage is selected by LVWV in SPMSC2.
5.6 Real-Time Interrupt (RTI)
The real-time interrupt function can be used to generate periodic interrupts based on a multiple of the
source clock's period. The RTI has two source clock choices, the external clock input (ICGERCLK) to the
ICG or the RTI's own internal clock. The RTI can be used in run, wait, stop2 and stop3 modes. It is not
available in stop1 mode.
In run and wait modes, only the external clock can be used as the RTI's clock source. In stop2 mode, only
the internal RTI clock can be used. In stop3, either the external clock or internal RTI clock can be used.

MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
70 Freescale Semiconductor
When using the external oscillator in stop3 mode, it must be enabled in stop (OSCSTEN = 1) and
configured for low bandwidth operation (RANGE = 0).
The SRTISC register includes a read-only status flag, a write-only acknowledge bit, and a 3-bit control
value (RTIS2:RTIS1:RTIS0) used to select one of seven RTI periods. The RTI has a local interrupt enable,
RTIE, to allow masking of the real-time interrupt. The module can be disabled by writing 0:0:0 to
RTIS2:RTIS1:RTIS0 in which case the clock source input is disabled and no interrupts will be generated.
See Section 5.7.6, “System Real-Time Interrupt Status and Control Register (SRTISC),” for detailed
information about this register.
5.7 Register Definition
One 8-bit register in the direct page register space and eight 8-bit registers in the high-page register space
are related to reset and interrupt systems.
Refer to the direct-page register summary in Chapter 4, “Memory” of this data sheet for the absolute
address assignments for all registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names.
A Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute
addresses.
Some control bits in the SOPT and SPMSC2 registers are related to modes of operation. Although brief
descriptions of these bits are provided here, the related functions are discussed in greater detail in
Chapter 3, “Modes of Operation.”

IRQEDG
Interrupt Request (IRQ) Edge Select — This read/write control bit is used to select the polarity of edges or
levels on the IRQ pin that cause IRQF to be set. The IRQMOD control bit determines whether the IRQ pin is
sensitive to both edges and levels or only edges. When the IRQ pin is enabled as the IRQ input and is configured
to detect rising edges, the optional pullup resistor is re-configured as an optional pulldown resistor.
0 IRQ is falling edge or falling edge/low-level sensitive.
1 IRQ is rising edge or rising edge/high-level sensitive.

IRQPE
IRQ Pin Enable — This read/write control bit enables the IRQ pin function. When this bit is set, the IRQ pin can
be used as an interrupt request. Also, when this bit is set, either an internal pull-up or an internal pull-down
resistor is enabled depending on the state of the IRQMOD bit.
0 IRQ pin function is disabled.

5.7.2 System Reset Status Register (SRS)
This register includes six read-only status flags to indicate the source of the most recent reset. When a
debug host forces reset by writing 1 to BDFR in the SBDFR register, none of the status bits in SRS will be
set. Writing any value to this register address clears the COP watchdog timer without affecting the contents
of this register. The reset state of these bits depends on what caused the MCU to reset.

has six I/O ports which include a total of up to 39 general-purpose I/O pins (one pin, PTG0, is output only).
See Chapter 2, “Pins and Connections,” for more information about the logic and hardware aspects of these
pins.
Many of these pins are shared with on-chip peripherals such as timer systems, external interrupts, or
keyboard interrupts. When these other modules are not controlling the port pins, they revert to
general-purpose I/O control. For each I/O pin, a port data bit provides access to input (read) and output
(write) data, a data direction bit controls the direction of the pin, and a pullup enable bit enables an internal
pullup device (provided the pin is configured as an input), and a slew rate control bit controls the rise and
fall times of the pins.
Pins that are not used in the application must be terminated. This prevents excess current caused by floating
inputs and enhances immunity during noise or transient events. Termination methods include:
• Configuring unused pins as outputs driving high or low
• Configuring unused pins as inputs and using internal or external pullups
Never connect unused pins to VDD or VSS.
NOTE
Not all general-purpose I/O pins are available on all packages. To avoid
extra current drain from floating input pins, the user’s reset initialization
routine in the application program should either enable on-chip pullup
devices or change the direction of unconnected pins to outputs so the pins
do not float.
6.1.1 Features
Parallel I/O features, depending on package choice, include:
• A total of 39 general-purpose I/O pins in six ports (PTG0 is output only)
• High-current drivers on port C pins
• Hysteresis input buffers
• Software-controlled pullups on each input pin
• Software-controlled slew rate output buffers

6.2 External Signal Description
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A has a total of 39 parallel I/O pins (one is output only) in six 8-bit ports
(PTA–PTE, PTG). Not all pins are bonded out in all packages. Consult the pin assignment in Chapter 2,
“Pins and Connections,” for available parallel I/O pins. All of these pins are available for general-purpose
I/O when they are not used by other on-chip peripheral systems.
After reset, BKGD/MS is enabled and therefore is not usable as an output pin until BKGDPE in SOPT is
cleared. The rest of the peripheral functions are disabled. After reset, all data direction and pullup enable
controls are set to 0s. These pins default to being high-impedance inputs with on-chip pullup devices
disabled.
The following paragraphs discuss each port and the software controls that determine each pin’s use.
6.2.1 Port A and Keyboard Interrupts

6.2.6 Port G, BKGD/MS, and Oscillator
Figure 6-7. Port G Pin Names
Port G is an 4-bit port which is shared among the background/mode select function, oscillator, and
general-purpose I/O. When the background/mode select function or oscillator is enabled, the pin direction
will be controlled by the module function.
Port G pins are available as general-purpose I/O pins controlled by the port G data (PTGD), data direction
(PTGDD), pullup enable (PTGPE), and slew rate control (PTGSE) registers. Refer to Section 6.3, “Parallel
I/O Controls,” for more information about general-purpose I/O control.
The internal pullup for PTG0 is enabled when the background/mode select function is enabled, regardless
of the state of PTGPE0. During reset, the BKGD/MS pin functions as a mode select pin. After the MCU
exits reset, the BKGD/MS pin becomes the background communications input/output pin. The PTG0 can
be configured to be a general-purpose output pin. Refer to Section 5.7.4, “System Options Register
(SOPT),” for selecting BKGD or PTG0. Refer to Chapter 3, “Modes of Operation,”, Chapter 5, “Resets,
Interrupts, and System Configuration,” and Chapter 15, “Development Support,” for more information

6.3 Parallel I/O Controls
Provided no on-chip peripheral is controlling a port pin, the pins operate as general-purpose I/O pins that
are accessed and controlled by a data register (PTxD), a data direction register (PTxDD), a pullup enable
register (PTxPE), and a slew rate control register (PTxSE) where x is A, B, C, D, E, or G.
Reads of the data register return the pin value (if PTxDDn = 0) or the contents of the port data register (if
PTxDDn = 1). Writes to the port data register are latched into the port register whether the pin is controlled
by an on-chip peripheral or the pin is configured as an input. If the corresponding pin is not controlled by
a peripheral and is configured as an output, this level will be driven out the port pin.
6.3.1 Data Direction Control
The data direction control bits determine whether the pin output driver is enabled, and they control what
is read for port data register reads. Each port pin has a data direction control bit. When PTxDDn = 0, the
corresponding pin is an input and reads of PTxD return the pin value. When PTxDDn = 1, the
corresponding pin is an output and reads of PTxD return the last value written to the port data register.
When a peripheral module or system function is in control of a port pin, the data direction control still
controls what is returned for reads of the port data register, even though the peripheral system has
overriding control of the actual pin direction.
For the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A MCU, reads of PTG0/BKGD/MS will return the value on the output pin.
It is a good programming practice to write to the port data register before changing the direction of a port
pin to become an output. This ensures that the pin will not be driven momentarily with an old data value
that happened to be in the port data register.
6.3.2 Internal Pullup Control
An internal pullup device can be enabled for each port pin that is configured as an input (PTxDDn = 0).
The pullup device is available for a peripheral module to use, provided the peripheral is enabled and is an
input function as long as the PTxDDn = 0.
For the four configurable KBI module inputs on PTA7–PTA4, when a pin is configured to detect rising
edges, the port pullup enable associated with the pin (PTAPEn) selects a pulldown rather than a pullup
device.
6.3.3 Slew Rate Control
Slew rate control can be enabled for each port pin that is configured as an output (PTxDDn = 1) or if a
peripheral module is enabled and its function is an output. Not all peripheral modules’ outputs have slew
rate control; refer to Chapter 2, “Pins and Connections,” for more information about which pins have slew
rate control.

6.4 Stop Modes
Depending on the stop mode, I/O functions differently as the result of executing a STOP instruction. An
explanation of I/O behavior for the various stop modes follows:
• When the MCU enters stop1 mode, all internal registers including general-purpose I/O control and
data registers are powered down. All of the general-purpose I/O pins assume their reset state:
output buffers and pullups turned off. Upon exit from stop1, all I/O must be initialized as if the
MCU had been reset.
• When the MCU enters stop2 mode, the internal registers are powered down as in stop1 but the I/O
pin states are latched and held. For example, a port pin that is an output driving low continues to
function as an output driving low even though its associated data direction and output data registers
are powered down internally. Upon exit from stop2, the pins continue to hold their states until a 1
is written to the PPDACK bit. To avoid discontinuity in the pin state following exit from stop2, the
user must restore the port control and data registers to the values they held before entering stop2.
These values can be stored in RAM before entering stop2 because the RAM is maintained during
stop2.
• In stop3 mode, all I/O is maintained because internal logic circuity stays powered up. Upon
recovery, normal I/O function is available to the user.
6.5 Register Definition
This section provides information about all registers and control bits associated with the parallel I/O ports.
Refer to tables in Chapter 4, “Memory,” for the absolute address assignments for all parallel I/O registers.
This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A Freescale-provided equate or header
file normally is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute addresses.
6.5.1 Port A Registers (PTAD, PTAPE, PTASE, and PTADD)
Port A includes eight pins shared between general-purpose I/O and the KBI module. Port A pins used as
general-purpose I/O pins are controlled by the port A data (PTAD), data direction (PTADD), pullup enable
(PTAPE), and slew rate control (PTASE) registers.
If the KBI takes control of a port A pin, the corresponding PTASE bit is ignored since the pin functions as
an input. As long as PTADD is 0, the PTAPE controls the pullup enable for the KBI function. Reads of
PTAD will return the logic value of the corresponding pin, provided PTADD is 0.

6.5.3 Port C Registers (PTCD, PTCPE, PTCSE, and PTCDD)
Port C includes eight general-purpose I/O pins that share with the SCI2 and IIC modules. Port C pins used
as general-purpose I/O pins are controlled by the port C data (PTCD), data direction (PTCDD), pullup
enable (PTCPE), and slew rate control (PTCSE) registers.

provide slew rate on the SCI2 transmit pin, TxD2. PTCPE can be used, provided the corresponding
PTCDD bit is 0, to provide a pullup device on the SCI2 receive pin, RxD2.
If the IIC takes control of a port C pin, the corresponding PTCDD bit is ignored. PTCSE can be used to
provide slew rate on the IIC serial data pin (SDA), when in output mode and the IIC clock pin (SCL).
PTCPE can be used, provided the corresponding PTCDD bit is 0, to provide a pullup device on the IIC
serial data pin, when in receive mode.
Reads of PTCD will return the logic value of the corresponding pin, provided PTCDD is 0.

6.5.4 Port D Registers (PTDD, PTDPE, PTDSE, and PTDDD)
Port D includes five pins shared between general-purpose I/O, TPM1, and TPM2. Port D pins used as
general-purpose I/O pins are controlled by the port D data (PTDD), data direction (PTDDD), pullup enable
(PTDPE), and slew rate control (PTDSE) registers.
If a TPM takes control of a port D pin, the corresponding PTDDD bit is ignored. When the TPM is in
output compare mode, the corresponding PTDSE can be used to provide slew rate on the pin. When the
TPM is in input capture mode, the corresponding PTDPE can be used, provided the corresponding
PTDDD bit is 0, to provide a pullup device on the pin.
Reads of PTDD will return the logic value of the corresponding pin, provided PTDDD is 0.

6.5.5 Port E Registers (PTED, PTEPE, PTESE, and PTEDD)
Port E includes six general-purpose I/O pins that share with the SCI1 and SPI modules. Port E pins used
as general-purpose I/O pins are controlled by the port E data (PTED), data direction (PTEDD), pullup
enable (PTEPE), and slew rate control (PTESE) registers.
If the SCI1 takes control of a port E pin, the corresponding PTEDD bit is ignored. PTESE can be used to
provide slew rate on the SCI1 transmit pin, TxD1. PTEPE can be used, provided the corresponding
PTEDD bit is 0, to provide a pullup device on the SCI1 receive pin, RxD1.
If the SPI takes control of a port E pin, the corresponding PTEDD bit is ignored. PTESE can be used to
provide slew rate on the SPI serial output pin (MOSI or MISO) and serial clock pin (SPSCK) depending
on the SPI operational mode. PTEPE can be used, provided the corresponding PTEDD bit is 0, to provide
a pullup device on the SPI serial input pins (MOSI or MISO) and slave select pin (SS) depending on the
SPI operational mode.
Reads of PTED will return the logic value of the corresponding pin, provided PTEDD is 0.

6.5.6 Port G Registers (PTGD, PTGPE, PTGSE, and PTGDD)
Port G includes four general-purpose I/O pins that are shared with BKGD/MS function and the oscillator
or external clock pins. Port G pins used as general-purpose I/O pins are controlled by the port G data
(PTGD), data direction (PTGDD), pullup enable (PTGPE), and slew rate control (PTGSE) registers.
Port pin PTG0, while in reset, defaults to the BKGD/MS pin. After the MCU is exits reset, PTG0 can be
configured to be a general-purpose output pin. When BKGD/MS takes control of PTG0, the corresponding
PTGDD, PTGPE, and PTGPSE bits are ignored.
Port pins PTG1 and PTG2 can be configured to be oscillator or external clock pins. When the oscillator
takes control of a port G pin, the corresponding PTGD, PTGDD, PTGSE, and PTGPE bits are ignored.
Reads of PTGD will return the logic value of the corresponding pin, provided PTGDD is 0.

Keyboard Interrupt (S08KBIV1)
7.1 Introduction
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A has one KBI module with eight keyboard interrupt inputs that share port A
pins. See Chapter 2, “Pins and Connections,” for more information about the logic and hardware aspects
of these pins.
7.1.1 Port A and Keyboard Interrupt Pins
Figure 7-1. Port A Pin Names
The following paragraphs discuss controlling the keyboard interrupt pins.
Port A is an 8-bit port which is shared among the KBI keyboard interrupt inputs and general-purpose I/O.
The eight KBIPEn control bits in the KBIPE register allow selection of any combination of port A pins to
be assigned as KBI inputs. Any pins which are enabled as KBI inputs will be forced to act as inputs and
the remaining port A pins are available as general-purpose I/O pins controlled by the port A data (PTAD),
data direction (PTADD), and pullup enable (PTAPE) registers.
KBI inputs can be configured for edge-only sensitivity or edge-and-level sensitivity. Bits 3 through 0 of
port A are falling-edge/low-level sensitive while bits 7 through 4 can be configured for
rising-edge/high-level or for falling-edge/low-level sensitivity.
The eight PTAPEn control bits in the PTAPE register allow you to select whether an internal pullup device
is enabled on each port A pin that is configured as an input. When any of bits 7 through 4 of port A are
enabled as KBI inputs and are configured to detect rising edges/high levels, the pullup enable bits enable
pulldown rather than pullup devices.
An enabled keyboard interrupt can be used to wake the MCU from wait or standby (stop3).
7.1.2 Features
The keyboard interrupt (KBI) module features include:
• Keyboard interrupts selectable on eight port pins:
— Four falling-edge/low-level sensitive
— Four falling-edge/low-level or rising-edge/high-level sensitive
— Choice of edge-only or edge-and-level sensitivity
— Common interrupt flag and interrupt enable control
— Capable of waking up the MCU from stop3 or wait mode

flag by writing a 1 to KBACK. When KBIMOD = 1 to select edge-and-level operation and any enabled KBI port
pin remains at the asserted level, KBF is being continuously set so writing 1 to KBACK does not clear the KBF
flag.

KBIMOD Keyboard Detection Mode — This read/write control bit selects either edge-only detection or edge-and-level
detection. KBI port bits 3 through 0 can detect falling edges-only or falling edges and low levels. KBI port bits 7
through 4 can be configured to detect either:
• Rising edges-only or rising edges and high levels (KBEDGn = 1)
• Falling edges-only or falling edges and low levels (KBEDGn = 0)

7.2.2 KBI Pin Enable Register (KBIPE)
7.3 Functional Description
7.3.1 Pin Enables
The KBIPEn control bits in the KBIPE register allow a user to enable (KBIPEn = 1) any combination of
KBI-related port pins to be connected to the KBI module. Pins corresponding to 0s in KBIPE are
general-purpose I/O pins that are not associated with the KBI module.
7.3.2 Edge and Level Sensitivity
Synchronous logic is used to detect edges. Prior to detecting an edge, enabled keyboard inputs in a KBI
module must be at the deasserted logic level.
A falling edge is detected when an enabled keyboard input signal is seen as a logic 1 (the deasserted level)
during one bus cycle and then a logic 0 (the asserted level) during the next cycle.
A rising edge is detected when the input signal is seen as a logic 0 during one bus cycle and then a logic 1
during the next cycle.
The KBIMOD control bit can be set to reconfigure the detection logic so that it detects edges and levels.
In KBIMOD = 1 mode, the KBF status flag becomes set when an edge is detected (when one or more
enabled pins change from the deasserted to the asserted level while all other enabled pins remain at their
deasserted levels), but the flag is continuously set (and cannot be cleared) as long as any enabled keyboard
input pin remains at the asserted level. When the MCU enters stop mode, the synchronous edge-detection
logic is bypassed (because clocks are stopped). In stop mode, KBI inputs act as asynchronous
level-sensitive inputs so they can wake the MCU from stop mode.

7.3.3 KBI Interrupt Controls
The KBF status flag becomes set (1) when an edge event has been detected on any KBI input pin. If
KBIE = 1 in the KBISC register, a hardware interrupt will be requested whenever KBF = 1. The KBF flag
is cleared by writing a 1 to the keyboard acknowledge (KBACK) bit.
When KBIMOD = 0 (selecting edge-only operation), KBF is always cleared by writing 1 to KBACK.
When KBIMOD = 1 (selecting edge-and-level operation), KBF cannot be cleared as long as any keyboard
input is at its asserted level.

8.1 Introduction
This section provides summary information about the registers, addressing modes, and instruction set of
the CPU of the HCS08 Family. For a more detailed discussion, refer to the HCS08 Family Reference
Manual, volume 1, Freescale Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMV1/D.
The HCS08 CPU is fully source- and object-code-compatible with the M68HC08 CPU. Several
instructions and enhanced addressing modes were added to improve C compiler efficiency and to support
a new background debug system which replaces the monitor mode of earlier M68HC08 microcontrollers
(MCU).
8.1.1 Features
Features of the HCS08 CPU include:
• Object code fully upward-compatible with M68HC05 and M68HC08 Families
• All registers and memory are mapped to a single 64-Kbyte address space
• 16-bit stack pointer (any size stack anywhere in 64-Kbyte address space)
• 16-bit index register (H:X) with powerful indexed addressing modes
• 8-bit accumulator (A)
• Many instructions treat X as a second general-purpose 8-bit register
• Seven addressing modes:
— Inherent — Operands in internal registers
— Relative — 8-bit signed offset to branch destination
— Immediate — Operand in next object code byte(s)
— Direct — Operand in memory at 0x0000–0x00FF
— Extended — Operand anywhere in 64-Kbyte address space
— Indexed relative to H:X — Five submodes including auto increment
— Indexed relative to SP — Improves C efficiency dramatically
• Memory-to-memory data move instructions with four address mode combinations
• Overflow, half-carry, negative, zero, and carry condition codes support conditional branching on
the results of signed, unsigned, and binary-coded decimal (BCD) operations
• Efficient bit manipulation instructions
• Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply and 16-bit by 8-bit divide instructions
• STOP and WAIT instructions to invoke low-power operating modes

8.2.1 Accumulator (A)
The A accumulator is a general-purpose 8-bit register. One operand input to the arithmetic logic unit
(ALU) is connected to the accumulator and the ALU results are often stored into the A accumulator after
arithmetic and logical operations. The accumulator can be loaded from memory using various addressing
modes to specify the address where the loaded data comes from, or the contents of A can be stored to
memory using various addressing modes to specify the address where data from A will be stored.
Reset has no effect on the contents of the A accumulator.
8.2.2 Index Register (H:X)
This 16-bit register is actually two separate 8-bit registers (H and X), which often work together as a 16-bit
address pointer where H holds the upper byte of an address and X holds the lower byte of the address. All
indexed addressing mode instructions use the full 16-bit value in H:X as an index reference pointer;
however, for compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family, some instructions operate only on the
low-order 8-bit half (X).
Many instructions treat X as a second general-purpose 8-bit register that can be used to hold 8-bit data
values. X can be cleared, incremented, decremented, complemented, negated, shifted, or rotated. Transfer
instructions allow data to be transferred from A or transferred to A where arithmetic and logical operations
can then be performed.
For compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family, H is forced to 0x00 during reset. Reset has no effect
on the contents of X.

8.2.3 Stack Pointer (SP)
This 16-bit address pointer register points at the next available location on the automatic last-in-first-out
(LIFO) stack. The stack may be located anywhere in the 64-Kbyte address space that has RAM and can
be any size up to the amount of available RAM. The stack is used to automatically save the return address
for subroutine calls, the return address and CPU registers during interrupts, and for local variables. The
AIS (add immediate to stack pointer) instruction adds an 8-bit signed immediate value to SP. This is most
often used to allocate or deallocate space for local variables on the stack.
SP is forced to 0x00FF at reset for compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family. HCS08 programs
normally change the value in SP to the address of the last location (highest address) in on-chip RAM
during reset initialization to free up direct page RAM (from the end of the on-chip registers to 0x00FF).
The RSP (reset stack pointer) instruction was included for compatibility with the M68HC05 Family and
is seldom used in new HCS08 programs because it only affects the low-order half of the stack pointer.
8.2.4 Program Counter (PC)
The program counter is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next instruction or operand to be
fetched.
During normal program execution, the program counter automatically increments to the next sequential
memory location every time an instruction or operand is fetched. Jump, branch, interrupt, and return
operations load the program counter with an address other than that of the next sequential location. This
is called a change-of-flow.
During reset, the program counter is loaded with the reset vector that is located at 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF.
The vector stored there is the address of the first instruction that will be executed after exiting the reset
state.
8.2.5 Condition Code Register (CCR)
The 8-bit condition code register contains the interrupt mask (I) and five flags that indicate the results of
the instruction just executed. Bits 6 and 5 are set permanently to 1. The following paragraphs describe the
functions of the condition code bits in general terms. For a more detailed explanation of how each
instruction sets the CCR bits, refer to the HCS08 Family Reference Manual, volume 1, Freescale
Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMv1.

Two’s Complement Overflow Flag — The CPU sets the overflow flag when a two’s complement overflow occurs.
The signed branch instructions BGT, BGE, BLE, and BLT use the overflow flag.
0 No overflow
1 Overflow
4
H
Half-Carry Flag — The CPU sets the half-carry flag when a carry occurs between accumulator bits 3 and 4 during
an add-without-carry (ADD) or add-with-carry (ADC) operation. The half-carry flag is required for binary-coded
decimal (BCD) arithmetic operations. The DAA instruction uses the states of the H and C condition code bits to
automatically add a correction value to the result from a previous ADD or ADC on BCD operands to correct the
result to a valid BCD value.
0 No carry between bits 3 and 4
1 Carry between bits 3 and 4
3
I
Interrupt Mask Bit — When the interrupt mask is set, all maskable CPU interrupts are disabled. CPU interrupts
are enabled when the interrupt mask is cleared. When a CPU interrupt occurs, the interrupt mask is set
automatically after the CPU registers are saved on the stack, but before the first instruction of the interrupt service
routine is executed.
Interrupts are not recognized at the instruction boundary after any instruction that clears I (CLI or TAP). This
ensures that the next instruction after a CLI or TAP will always be executed without the possibility of an intervening
interrupt, provided I was set.
0 Interrupts enabled
1 Interrupts disabled
2
N
Negative Flag — The CPU sets the negative flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data
manipulation produces a negative result, setting bit 7 of the result. Simply loading or storing an 8-bit or 16-bit value
causes N to be set if the most significant bit of the loaded or stored value was 1.
0 Non-negative result
1 Negative result
1
Z
Zero Flag — The CPU sets the zero flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data manipulation
produces a result of 0x00 or 0x0000. Simply loading or storing an 8-bit or 16-bit value causes Z to be set if the
loaded or stored value was all 0s.
0 Non-zero result
1 Zero result
0
C
Carry/Borrow Flag — The CPU sets the carry/borrow flag when an addition operation produces a carry out of bit
7 of the accumulator or when a subtraction operation requires a borrow. Some instructions — such as bit test and
branch, shift, and rotate — also clear or set the carry/borrow flag.

8.3 Addressing Modes
Addressing modes define the way the CPU accesses operands and data. In the HCS08, all memory, status
and control registers, and input/output (I/O) ports share a single 64-Kbyte linear address space so a 16-bit
binary address can uniquely identify any memory location. This arrangement means that the same
instructions that access variables in RAM can also be used to access I/O and control registers or nonvolatile
program space.
Some instructions use more than one addressing mode. For instance, move instructions use one addressing
mode to specify the source operand and a second addressing mode to specify the destination address.
Instructions such as BRCLR, BRSET, CBEQ, and DBNZ use one addressing mode to specify the location
of an operand for a test and then use relative addressing mode to specify the branch destination address
when the tested condition is true. For BRCLR, BRSET, CBEQ, and DBNZ, the addressing mode listed in
the instruction set tables is the addressing mode needed to access the operand to be tested, and relative
addressing mode is implied for the branch destination.
8.3.1 Inherent Addressing Mode (INH)
In this addressing mode, operands needed to complete the instruction (if any) are located within CPU
registers so the CPU does not need to access memory to get any operands.
8.3.2 Relative Addressing Mode (REL)
Relative addressing mode is used to specify the destination location for branch instructions. A signed 8-bit
offset value is located in the memory location immediately following the opcode. During execution, if the
branch condition is true, the signed offset is sign-extended to a 16-bit value and is added to the current
contents of the program counter, which causes program execution to continue at the branch destination
address.
8.3.3 Immediate Addressing Mode (IMM)
In immediate addressing mode, the operand needed to complete the instruction is included in the object
code immediately following the instruction opcode in memory. In the case of a 16-bit immediate operand,
the high-order byte is located in the next memory location after the opcode, and the low-order byte is
located in the next memory location after that.
8.3.4 Direct Addressing Mode (DIR)
In direct addressing mode, the instruction includes the low-order eight bits of an address in the direct page
(0x0000–0x00FF). During execution a 16-bit address is formed by concatenating an implied 0x00 for the
high-order half of the address and the direct address from the instruction to get the 16-bit address where
the desired operand is located. This is faster and more memory efficient than specifying a complete 16-bit
address for the operand.

110 Freescale Semiconductor
8.3.5 Extended Addressing Mode (EXT)
In extended addressing mode, the full 16-bit address of the operand is located in the next two bytes of
program memory after the opcode (high byte first).
8.3.6 Indexed Addressing Mode
Indexed addressing mode has seven variations including five that use the 16-bit H:X index register pair and
two that use the stack pointer as the base reference.
8.3.6.1 Indexed, No Offset (IX)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair as the address of
the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.3.6.2 Indexed, No Offset with Post Increment (IX+)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair as the address of
the operand needed to complete the instruction. The index register pair is then incremented
(H:X = H:X + 0x0001) after the operand has been fetched. This addressing mode is only used for MOV
and CBEQ instructions.
8.3.6.3 Indexed, 8-Bit Offset (IX1)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus an unsigned
8-bit offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.3.6.4 Indexed, 8-Bit Offset with Post Increment (IX1+)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus an unsigned
8-bit offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
The index register pair is then incremented (H:X = H:X + 0x0001) after the operand has been fetched. This
addressing mode is used only for the CBEQ instruction.
8.3.6.5 Indexed, 16-Bit Offset (IX2)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus a 16-bit offset
included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.3.6.6 SP-Relative, 8-Bit Offset (SP1)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the stack pointer (SP) plus an unsigned 8-bit
offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.

8.3.6.7 SP-Relative, 16-Bit Offset (SP2)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the stack pointer (SP) plus a 16-bit offset
included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.4 Special Operations
The CPU performs a few special operations that are similar to instructions but do not have opcodes like
other CPU instructions. In addition, a few instructions such as STOP and WAIT directly affect other MCU
circuitry. This section provides additional information about these operations.
8.4.1 Reset Sequence
Reset can be caused by a power-on-reset (POR) event, internal conditions such as the COP (computer
operating properly) watchdog, or by assertion of an external active-low reset pin. When a reset event
occurs, the CPU immediately stops whatever it is doing (the MCU does not wait for an instruction
boundary before responding to a reset event). For a more detailed discussion about how the MCU
recognizes resets and determines the source, refer to the Resets, Interrupts, and System Configuration
chapter.
The reset event is considered concluded when the sequence to determine whether the reset came from an
internal source is done and when the reset pin is no longer asserted. At the conclusion of a reset event, the
CPU performs a 6-cycle sequence to fetch the reset vector from 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF and to fill the
instruction queue in preparation for execution of the first program instruction.
8.4.2 Interrupt Sequence
When an interrupt is requested, the CPU completes the current instruction before responding to the
interrupt. At this point, the program counter is pointing at the start of the next instruction, which is where
the CPU should return after servicing the interrupt. The CPU responds to an interrupt by performing the
same sequence of operations as for a software interrupt (SWI) instruction, except the address used for the
vector fetch is determined by the highest priority interrupt that is pending when the interrupt sequence
started.
The CPU sequence for an interrupt is:
1. Store the contents of PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR on the stack, in that order.
2. Set the I bit in the CCR.
3. Fetch the high-order half of the interrupt vector.
4. Fetch the low-order half of the interrupt vector.
5. Delay for one free bus cycle.
6. Fetch three bytes of program information starting at the address indicated by the interrupt vector
to fill the instruction queue in preparation for execution of the first instruction in the interrupt
service routine.
After the CCR contents are pushed onto the stack, the I bit in the CCR is set to prevent other interrupts
while in the interrupt service routine. Although it is possible to clear the I bit with an instruction in the
Central Processor Unit (S08CPUV2)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
112 Freescale Semiconductor
interrupt service routine, this would allow nesting of interrupts (which is not recommended because it
leads to programs that are difficult to debug and maintain).
For compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 MCUs, the high-order half of the H:X index register pair (H)
is not saved on the stack as part of the interrupt sequence. The user must use a PSHH instruction at the
beginning of the service routine to save H and then use a PULH instruction just before the RTI that ends
the interrupt service routine. It is not necessary to save H if you are certain that the interrupt service routine
does not use any instructions or auto-increment addressing modes that might change the value of H.
The software interrupt (SWI) instruction is like a hardware interrupt except that it is not masked by the
global I bit in the CCR and it is associated with an instruction opcode within the program so it is not
asynchronous to program execution.
8.4.3 Wait Mode Operation
The WAIT instruction enables interrupts by clearing the I bit in the CCR. It then halts the clocks to the
CPU to reduce overall power consumption while the CPU is waiting for the interrupt or reset event that
will wake the CPU from wait mode. When an interrupt or reset event occurs, the CPU clocks will resume
and the interrupt or reset event will be processed normally.
If a serial BACKGROUND command is issued to the MCU through the background debug interface while
the CPU is in wait mode, CPU clocks will resume and the CPU will enter active background mode where
other serial background commands can be processed. This ensures that a host development system can still
gain access to a target MCU even if it is in wait mode.
8.4.4 Stop Mode Operation
Usually, all system clocks, including the crystal oscillator (when used), are halted during stop mode to
minimize power consumption. In such systems, external circuitry is needed to control the time spent in
stop mode and to issue a signal to wake up the target MCU when it is time to resume processing. Unlike
the earlier M68HC05 and M68HC08 MCUs, the HCS08 can be configured to keep a minimum set of
clocks running in stop mode. This optionally allows an internal periodic signal to wake the target MCU
from stop mode.
When a host debug system is connected to the background debug pin (BKGD) and the ENBDM control
bit has been set by a serial command through the background interface (or because the MCU was reset into
active background mode), the oscillator is forced to remain active when the MCU enters stop mode. In this
case, if a serial BACKGROUND command is issued to the MCU through the background debug interface
while the CPU is in stop mode, CPU clocks will resume and the CPU will enter active background mode
where other serial background commands can be processed. This ensures that a host development system
can still gain access to a target MCU even if it is in stop mode.
Recovery from stop mode depends on the particular HCS08 and whether the oscillator was stopped in stop
mode. Refer to the Modes of Operation chapter for more details.

8.4.5 BGND Instruction
The BGND instruction is new to the HCS08 compared to the M68HC08. BGND would not be used in
normal user programs because it forces the CPU to stop processing user instructions and enter the active
background mode. The only way to resume execution of the user program is through reset or by a host
debug system issuing a GO, TRACE1, or TAGGO serial command through the background debug
interface.
Software-based breakpoints can be set by replacing an opcode at the desired breakpoint address with the
BGND opcode. When the program reaches this breakpoint address, the CPU is forced to active background
mode rather than continuing the user program.

Internal Clock Generator (S08ICGV4)
9.1 Introduction
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A microcontroller provides one internal clock generation (ICG) module to
create the system bus frequency. All functions described in this section are available on the
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A microcontroller. The EXTAL and XTAL pins share port G bits 2 and 1,
respectively. Analog supply lines VDDA and VSSA are internally derived from the MCU’s VDD and VSS
pins. Electrical parametric data for the ICG may be found in Appendix A, “Electrical Characteristics.”
Figure 9-1. System Clock Distribution Diagram
NOTE
Freescale Semiconductor programs a factory trim value for ICGTRM into
the FLASH location $FFBE (NVICGTRM). Leaving this address for the
ICGTRM value also allows debugger and programmer vendors to perform
a manual trim operation and store the resultant ICGTRM value into
NVICGTRM for users to access at a later time. The value in NVICGTRM
is not automatically loaded and therefore must be copied into ICGTTRM by
user code.
ATD has min and max
frequency requirements. See
Chapter 14, “Analog-to-Digital Convert-
er (S08ATDV3),” and Appendix A,
“Electrical Characteristics.”
FLASH has frequency
requirements for program
and erase operation.
See Appendix A, “Electrical
Characteristics.”

Internal Clock Generator (S08ICGV4)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 127
The ICG provides multiple options for clock sources. This offers a user great flexibility when making
choices between cost, precision, current draw, and performance. The ICG consists of four functional
blocks. Each of these is briefly described here and then in more detail in a later section.
•Oscillator block — The oscillator block provides means for connecting an external crystal or
resonator. Two frequency ranges are software selectable to allow optimal startup and stability.
Alternatively, the oscillator block can be used to route an external square wave to the system clock.
External sources can provide a very precise clock source. The oscillator is capable of being
configured for low power mode or high amplitude mode as selected by HGO.
•Internal reference generator — The internal reference generator consists of two controlled clock
sources. One is designed to be approximately 8 MHz and can be selected as a local clock for the
background debug controller. The other internal reference clock source is typically 243 kHz and
can be trimmed for finer accuracy via software when a precise timed event is input to the MCU.
This provides a highly reliable, low-cost clock source.
•Frequency-locked loop — A frequency-locked loop (FLL) stage takes either the internal or
external clock source and multiplies it to a higher frequency. Status bits provide information when
the circuit has achieved lock and when it falls out of lock. Additionally, this block can monitor the
external reference clock and signals whether the clock is valid or not.
•Clock select block — The clock select block provides several switch options for connecting
different clock sources to the system clock tree. ICGDCLK is the multiplied clock frequency out
of the FLL, ICGERCLK is the reference clock frequency from the crystal or external clock source,
and FFE (fixed frequency enable) is a control signal used to control the system fixed frequency
clock (XCLK). ICGLCLK is the clock source for the background debug controller (BDC).
9.1.1 Features
The module is intended to be very user friendly with many of the features occurring automatically without
user intervention. To quickly configure the module, go to Section 9.5, “Initialization/Application
Information” and pick an example that best suits the application needs.
Features of the ICG and clock distribution system:
• Several options for the primary clock source allow a wide range of cost, frequency, and precision
choices:
— 32 kHz–100 kHz crystal or resonator
— 1 MHz–16 MHz crystal or resonator
— External clock
— Internal reference generator
• Defaults to self-clocked mode to minimize startup delays
• Frequency-locked loop (FLL) generates 8 MHz to 40 MHz (for bus rates up to 20 MHz)
— Uses external or internal clock as reference frequency
• Automatic lockout of non-running clock sources
• Reset or interrupt on loss of clock or loss of FLL lock
Internal Clock Generator (S08ICGV4)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
128 Freescale Semiconductor
• Digitally-controlled oscillator (DCO) preserves previous frequency settings, allowing fast
frequency lock when recovering from stop3 mode
• DCO will maintain operating frequency during a loss or removal of reference clock
• Post-FLL divider selects 1 of 8 bus rate divisors (/1 through /128)
• Separate self-clocked source for real-time interrupt
• Trimmable internal clock source supports SCI communications without additional external
components
• Automatic FLL engagement after lock is acquired
• External oscillator selectable for low power or high gain
9.1.2 Modes of Operation
This is a high-level description only. Detailed descriptions of operating modes are contained in
Section 9.4, “Functional Description.”
• Mode 1 — Off
The output clock, ICGOUT, is static. This mode may be entered when the STOP instruction is
executed.
• Mode 2 — Self-clocked (SCM)
Default mode of operation that is entered immediately after reset. The ICG’s FLL is open loop and
the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is free running at a frequency set by the filter bits.
• Mode 3 — FLL engaged internal (FEI)
In this mode, the ICG’s FLL is used to create frequencies that are programmable multiples of the
internal reference clock.
— FLL engaged internal unlocked is a transition state that occurs while the FLL is attempting to
lock. The FLL DCO frequency is off target and the FLL is adjusting the DCO to match the
target frequency.
— FLL engaged internal locked is a state that occurs when the FLL detects that the DCO is locked
to a multiple of the internal reference.
• Mode 4 — FLL bypassed external (FBE)
In this mode, the ICG is configured to bypass the FLL and use an external clock as the clock source.
• Mode 5 — FLL engaged external (FEE)
The ICG’s FLL is used to generate frequencies that are programmable multiples of the external
clock reference.
— FLL engaged external unlocked is a transition state that occurs while the FLL is attempting to
lock. The FLL DCO frequency is off target and the FLL is adjusting the DCO to match the
target frequency.
— FLL engaged external locked is a state which occurs when the FLL detects that the DCO is
locked to a multiple of the internal reference.

9.2 External Signal Description
The oscillator pins are used to provide an external clock source for the MCU. The oscillator pins are gain
controlled in low-power mode (default). Oscillator amplitudes in low-power mode are limited to
approximately 1 V, peak-to-peak.
9.2.1 EXTAL — External Reference Clock / Oscillator Input

to ensure proper MCU operation.

ICG Trim Setting — The TRIM bits control the internal reference generator frequency. They allow a ±25%
adjustment of the nominal (POR) period. The bit’s effect on period is binary weighted (i.e., bit 1 will adjust twice
as much as changing bit 0). Increasing the binary value in TRIM will increase the period and decreasing the value
will decrease the period.

Freescale Semiconductor 137
9.4.1 Off Mode (Off)
Normally when the CPU enters stop mode, the ICG will cease all clock activity and is in the off state.
However there are two cases to consider when clock activity continues while the CPU is in stop mode,
9.4.1.1 BDM Active
When the BDM is enabled, the ICG continues activity as originally programmed. This allows access to
memory and control registers via the BDC controller.
9.4.1.2 OSCSTEN Bit Set
When the oscillator is enabled in stop mode (OSCSTEN = 1), the individual clock generators are enabled
but the clock feed to the rest of the MCU is turned off. This option is provided to avoid long oscillator
startup times if necessary, or to run the RTI from the oscillator during stop3.
9.4.1.3 Stop/Off Mode Recovery
Upon the CPU exiting stop mode due to an interrupt, the previously set control bits are valid and the system
clock feed resumes. If FEE is selected, the ICG will source the internal reference until the external clock
is stable. If FBE is selected, the ICG will wait for the external clock to stabilize before enabling ICGOUT.
Upon the CPU exiting stop mode due to a reset, the previously set ICG control bits are ignored and the
default reset values applied. Therefore the ICG will exit stop in SCM mode configured for an
approximately 8 MHz DCO output (4 MHz bus clock) with trim value maintained. If using a crystal, 4096
clocks are detected prior to engaging ICGERCLK. This is incorporated in crystal start-up time.
9.4.2 Self-Clocked Mode (SCM)
Self-clocked mode (SCM) is the default mode of operation and is entered when any of the following
conditions occur:
• After any reset.
• Exiting from off mode when CLKS does not equal 10. If CLKS = X1, the ICG enters this state
temporarily until the DCO is stable (DCOS = 1).
• CLKS bits are written from X1 to 00.
• CLKS = 1X and ICGERCLK is not detected (both ERCS = 0 and LOCS = 1).
In this state, the FLL loop is open. The DCO is on, and the output clock signal ICGOUT frequency is given
by fICGDCLK / R. The ICGDCLK frequency can be varied from 8 MHz to 40 MHz by writing a new value
into the filter registers (ICGFLTH and ICGFLTL). This is the only mode in which the filter registers can
be written.
If this mode is entered due to a reset, fICGDCLK will default to fSelf_reset which is nominally 8 MHz. If this
mode is entered from FLL engaged internal, fICGDCLK will maintain the previous frequency.If this mode
is entered from FLL engaged external (either by programming CLKS or due to a loss of external reference
clock), fICGDCLK will maintain the previous frequency, but ICGOUT will double if the FLL was unlocked.
If this mode is entered from off mode, fICGDCLK will be equal to the frequency of ICGDCLK before

entering off mode. If CLKS bits are set to 01 or 11 coming out of the Off state, the ICG enters this mode
until ICGDCLK is stable as determined by the DCOS bit. After ICGDCLK is considered stable, the ICG
automatically closes the loop by switching to FLL engaged (internal or external) as selected by the CLKS
bits.
Figure 9-13. Detailed Frequency-Locked Loop Block Diagram
9.4.3 FLL Engaged, Internal Clock (FEI) Mode
FLL engaged internal (FEI) is entered when any of the following conditions occur:
• CLKS bits are written to 01
• The DCO clock stabilizes (DCOS = 1) while in SCM upon exiting the off state with CLKS = 01
In FLL engaged internal mode, the reference clock is derived from the internal reference clock
ICGIRCLK, and the FLL loop will attempt to lock the ICGDCLK frequency to the desired value, as
selected by the MFD bits.

9.4.4 FLL Engaged Internal Unlocked
FEI unlocked is a temporary state that is entered when FEI is entered and the count error (∆n) output from
the subtractor is greater than the maximum nunlock or less than the minimum nunlock, as required by the
lock detector to detect the unlock condition.
The ICG will remain in this state while the count error (∆n) is greater than the maximum nlock or less than
the minimum nlock, as required by the lock detector to detect the lock condition.
In this state the output clock signal ICGOUT frequency is given by fICGDCLK / R.
9.4.5 FLL Engaged Internal Locked
FLL engaged internal locked is entered from FEI unlocked when the count error (∆n), which comes from
the subtractor, is less than nlock (max) and greater than nlock (min) for a given number of samples, as
required by the lock detector to detect the lock condition. The output clock signal ICGOUT frequency is
given by fICGDCLK / R. In FEI locked, the filter value is updated only once every four comparison cycles.
The update made is an average of the error measurements taken in the four previous comparisons.
9.4.6 FLL Bypassed, External Clock (FBE) Mode
FLL bypassed external (FBE) is entered when any of the following conditions occur:
• From SCM when CLKS = 10 and ERCS is high
• When CLKS = 10, ERCS = 1 upon entering off mode, and off is then exited
• From FLL engaged external mode if a loss of DCO clock occurs and the external reference remains
valid (both LOCS = 1 and ERCS = 1)
In this state, the DCO and IRG are off and the reference clock is derived from the external reference clock,
ICGERCLK. The output clock signal ICGOUT frequency is given by fICGERCLK / R. If an external clock
source is used (REFS = 0), then the input frequency on the EXTAL pin can be anywhere in the range
0 MHz to 40 MHz. If a crystal or resonator is used (REFS = 1), then frequency range is either low for
RANGE = 0 or high for RANGE = 1.
9.4.7 FLL Engaged, External Clock (FEE) Mode
The FLL engaged external (FEE) mode is entered when any of the following conditions occur:
• CLKS = 11 and ERCS and DCOS are both high.
• The DCO stabilizes (DCOS = 1) while in SCM upon exiting the off state with CLKS = 11.
In FEE mode, the reference clock is derived from the external reference clock ICGERCLK, and the FLL
loop will attempt to lock the ICGDCLK frequency to the desired value, as selected by the MFD bits. To
run in FEE mode, there must be a working 32 kHz–100 kHz or 2 MHz–10 MHz external clock source. The
maximum external clock frequency is limited to 10 MHz in FEE mode to prevent over-clocking the DCO.
The minimum multiplier for the FLL, from Table 9-12 is 4. Because 4 X 10 MHz is 40MHz, which is the
operational limit of the DCO, the reference clock cannot be any faster than 10 MHz.

9.4.7.1 FLL Engaged External Unlocked
FEE unlocked is entered when FEE is entered and the count error (∆n) output from the subtractor is greater
than the maximum nunlock or less than the minimum nunlock, as required by the lock detector to detect the
unlock condition.
The ICG will remain in this state while the count error (∆n) is greater than the maximum nlock or less than
the minimum nlock, as required by the lock detector to detect the lock condition.
In this state, the pulse counter, subtractor, digital loop filter, and DCO form a closed loop and attempt to
lock it according to their operational descriptions later in this section. Upon entering this state and until
the FLL becomes locked, the output clock signal ICGOUT frequency is given by fICGDCLK / (2×R) This
extra divide by two prevents frequency overshoots during the initial locking process from exceeding
chip-level maximum frequency specifications. After the FLL has locked, if an unexpected loss of lock
causes it to re-enter the unlocked state while the ICG remains in FEE mode, the output clock signal
ICGOUT frequency is given by fICGDCLK / R.
9.4.7.2 FLL Engaged External Locked
FEE locked is entered from FEE unlocked when the count error (∆n) is less than nlock (max) and greater
than nlock (min) for a given number of samples, as required by the lock detector to detect the lock
condition. The output clock signal ICGOUT frequency is given by fICGDCLK/R. In FLL engaged external
locked, the filter value is updated only once every four comparison cycles. The update made is an average
of the error measurements taken in the four previous comparisons.
9.4.8 FLL Lock and Loss-of-Lock Detection
To determine the FLL locked and loss-of-lock conditions, the pulse counter counts the pulses of the DCO
for one comparison cycle (see Table 9-9 for explanation of a comparison cycle) and passes this number to
the subtractor. The subtractor compares this value to the value in MFD and produces a count error, ∆n. To
achieve locked status, ∆n must be between nlock (min) and nlock (max). After the FLL has locked, ∆n must
stay between nunlock (min) and nunlock (max) to remain locked. If ∆n goes outside this range unexpectedly,
the LOLS status bit is set and remains set until cleared by software or until the MCU is reset. LOLS is
cleared by reading ICGS1 then writing 1 to ICGIF (LOLRE = 0), or by a loss-of-lock induced reset
(LOLRE = 1), or by any MCU reset.
If the ICG enters the off state due to stop mode when ENBDM = OSCSTEN = 0, the FLL loses locked
status (LOCK is cleared), but LOLS remains unchanged because this is not an unexpected loss-of-lock
condition. Though it would be unusual, if ENBDM is cleared to 0 while the MCU is in stop, the ICG enters
the off state. Because this is an unexpected stopping of clocks, LOLS will be set when the MCU wakes up
from stop.
Expected loss of lock occurs when the MFD or CLKS bits are changed or in FEI mode only, when the
TRIM bits are changed. In these cases, the LOCK bit will be cleared until the FLL regains lock, but the
LOLS will not be set.

Freescale Semiconductor 141
9.4.9 FLL Loss-of-Clock Detection
The reference clock and the DCO clock are monitored under different conditions (see Table 9-8). Provided
the reference frequency is being monitored, ERCS = 1 indicates that the reference clock meets minimum
frequency requirements. When the reference and/or DCO clock(s) are being monitored, if either one falls
below a certain frequency, fLOR and fLOD, respectively, the LOCS status bit will be set to indicate the error.
LOCS will remain set until it is acknowledged or until the MCU is reset. LOCS is cleared by reading
ICGS1 then writing 1 to ICGIF (LOCRE = 0), or by a loss-of-clock induced reset (LOCRE = 1), or by any
MCU reset.
If the ICG is in FEE, a loss of reference clock causes the ICG to enter SCM, and a loss of DCO clock causes
the ICG to enter FBE mode. If the ICG is in FBE mode, a loss of reference clock will cause the ICG to
enter SCM. In each case, the CLKST and CLKS bits will be automatically changed to reflect the new state.
If the ICG is in FEE mode when a loss of clock occurs and the ERCS is still set to 1, then the CLKST bits
are set to 10 and the ICG reverts to FBE mode.
A loss of clock will also cause a loss of lock when in FEE or FEI modes. Because the method of clearing
the LOCS and LOLS bits is the same, this would only be an issue in the unlikely case that LOLRE = 1 and
LOCRE = 0. In this case, the interrupt would be overridden by the reset for the loss of lock.

9.4.10 Clock Mode Requirements
A clock mode is requested by writing to CLKS1:CLKS0 and the actual clock mode is indicated by
CLKST1:CLKST0. Provided minimum conditions are met, the status shown in CLKST1:CLKST0 should
be the same as the requested mode in CLKS1:CLKS0. Table 9-9 shows the relationship between CLKS,
CLKST, and ICGOUT. It also shows the conditions for CLKS = CLKST or the reason CLKS ≠ CLKST.
NOTE
If a crystal will be used before the next reset, then be sure to set REFS = 1
and CLKS = 1x on the first write to the ICGC1 register. Failure to do so will
result in “locking” REFS = 0 which will prevent the oscillator amplifier
from being enabled until the next reset occurs.

9.4.11 Fixed Frequency Clock
The ICG provides a fixed frequency clock output, XCLK, for use by on-chip peripherals. This output is
equal to the internal bus clock, BUSCLK, in all modes except FEE. In FEE mode, XCLK is equal to
ICGERCLK ÷2 when the following conditions are met:
•(P×N) ÷R≥ 4 where P is determined by RANGE (see Table 9-11), N and R are determined by
MFD and RFD respectively (see Table 9-12).
• LOCK = 1.
If the above conditions are not true, then XCLK is equal to BUSCLK.
When the ICG is in either FEI or SCM mode, XCLK is turned off. Any peripherals which can use XCLK
as a clock source must not do so when the ICG is in FEI or SCM mode.
9.4.12 High Gain Oscillator
The oscillator has the option of running in a high gain oscillator (HGO) mode, which improves the
oscillator's resistance to EMC noise when running in FBE or FEE modes. This option is selected by writing
a 1 to the HGO bit in the ICGC1 register. HGO is used with both the high and low range oscillators but is
only valid when REFS = 1 in the ICGC1 register. When HGO = 0, the standard low-power oscillator is
selected. This bit is writable only once after any reset.
9.5 Initialization/Application Information
9.5.1 Introduction
The section is intended to give some basic direction on which configuration a user would want to select
when initializing the ICG. For some applications, the serial communication link may dictate the accuracy
of the clock reference. For other applications, lowest power consumption may be the chief clock
consideration. Still others may have lowest cost as the primary goal. The ICG allows great flexibility in
choosing which is best for any application.

9.5.2 Example #1: External Crystal = 32 kHz, Bus Frequency = 4.19 MHz
In this example, the FLL will be used (in FEE mode) to multiply the external 32 kHz oscillator up to
8.38 MHz to achieve 4.19 MHz bus frequency.
After the MCU is released from reset, the ICG is in self-clocked mode (SCM) and supplies approximately
8 MHz on ICGOUT, which corresponds to a 4 MHz bus frequency (fBus).
The clock scheme will be FLL engaged, external (FEE). So
fICGOUT = fext * P * N / R ; P = 64, fext = 32 kHz Eqn. 9-1
Solving for N / R gives:
N / R = 8.38 MHz /(32 kHz * 64) = 4 ; we can choose N = 4 and R =1 Eqn. 9-2

9.5.3 Example #2: External Crystal = 4 MHz, Bus Frequency = 20 MHz
In this example, the FLL will be used (in FEE mode) to multiply the external 4 MHz oscillator up to
40-MHz to achieve 20 MHz bus frequency.
After the MCU is released from reset, the ICG is in self-clocked mode (SCM) and supplies approximately
8 MHz on ICGOUT which corresponds to a 4 MHz bus frequency (fBus).
During reset initialization software, the clock scheme will be set to FLL engaged, external (FEE). So
fICGOUT = fext * P * N / R ; P = 1, fext = 4.00 MHz Eqn. 9-3
Solving for N / R gives:

9.5.4 Example #3: No External Crystal Connection, 5.4 MHz Bus
Frequency
In this example, the FLL will be used (in FEI mode) to multiply the internal 243 kHz (approximate)
reference clock up to 10.8 MHz to achieve 5.4 MHz bus frequency. This system will also use the trim
function to fine tune the frequency based on an external reference signal.
After the MCU is released from reset, the ICG is in self-clocked mode (SCM) and supplies approximately
8 MHz on ICGOUT which corresponds to a 4 MHz bus frequency (fBus).
The clock scheme will be FLL engaged, internal (FEI). So
fICGOUT = (fIRG / 7) * P * N / R ; P = 64, fIRG = 243 kHz Eqn. 9-5
Solving for N / R gives:
N / R = 10.8 MHz /(243/7 kHz * 64) = 4.86 ; We can choose N = 10 and R = 2. Eqn. 9-6
A trim procedure will be required to hone the frequency to exactly 5.4 MHz. An example of the trim
procedure is shown in example #4.

9.5.5 Example #4: Internal Clock Generator Trim
The internally generated clock source is guaranteed to have a period ±25% of the nominal value. In some
cases, this may be sufficient accuracy. For other applications that require a tight frequency tolerance, a
trimming procedure is provided that will allow a very accurate source. This section outlines one example
of trimming the internal oscillator. Many other possible trimming procedures are valid and can be used.
Figure 9-17. Trim Procedure
In this particular case, the MCU has been attached to a PCB and the entire assembly is undergoing final
test with automated test equipment. A separate signal or message is provided to the MCU operating under
user provided software control. The MCU initiates a trim procedure as outlined in Figure 9-17 while the
tester supplies a precision reference signal.
If the intended bus frequency is near the maximum allowed for the device, it is recommended to trim using
a reduction divisor (R) twice the final value. After the trim procedure is complete, the reduction divisor
can be restored. This will prevent accidental overshoot of the maximum clock frequency.

1) Clock supplied from ATE has 500 µsec duty period
2) ICG configured for internal reference with 4 MHz bus

Timer/PWM (S08TPMV2)
10.1 Introduction
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A includes two independent timer/PWM (TPM) modules which support
traditional input capture, output compare, or buffered edge-aligned pulse-width modulation (PWM) on
each channel. A control bit in each TPM configures all channels in that timer to operate as center-aligned
PWM functions. In each of these two TPMs, timing functions are based on a separate 16-bit counter with
prescaler and modulo features to control frequency and range (period between overflows) of the time
reference. This timing system is ideally suited for a wide range of control applications, and the
center-aligned PWM capability on the 3-channel TPM extends the field of applications to motor control in
small appliances.
The use of the fixed system clock, XCLK, as the clock source for either of the TPM modules allows the
TPM prescaler to run using the oscillator rate divided by two (ICGERCLK/2). This clock source must be
selected only if the ICG is configured in either FBE or FEE mode. In FBE mode, this selection is redundant
because the BUSCLK frequency is the same as XCLK. In FEE mode, the proper conditions must be met
for XCLK to equal ICGERCLK/2. Selecting XCLK as the clock source with the ICG in either FEI or SCM
mode will result in the TPM being non-functional.
10.1.1 Features
The timer system in the MC9S08GT16A includes a 3-channel TPM1 and a separate 5-channel TPM2; the
timer system in the MC9S08GT8A includes two 2-channel modules, TPM1 and TPM2. Timer system
features include:
• A total of eight channels:
— Each channel may be input capture, output compare, or buffered edge-aligned PWM
— Rising-edge, falling-edge, or any-edge input capture trigger
— Set, clear, or toggle output compare action
— Selectable polarity on PWM outputs
• Each TPM may be configured for buffered, center-aligned pulse-width modulation (CPWM) on all
channels
• Clock source to prescaler for each TPM is independently selectable as bus clock, fixed system
clock, or an external pin
• Prescale taps for divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128
• 16-bit free-running or up/down (CPWM) count operation
• 16-bit modulus register to control counter range
• Timer system enable
• One interrupt per channel plus terminal count interrupt

The central component of the TPM is the 16-bit counter that can operate as a free-running counter, a
modulo counter, or an up-/down-counter when the TPM is configured for center-aligned PWM. The TPM
counter (when operating in normal up-counting mode) provides the timing reference for the input capture,
output compare, and edge-aligned PWM functions. The timer counter modulo registers,
TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL, control the modulo value of the counter. (The values 0x0000 or 0xFFFF
effectively make the counter free running.) Software can read the counter value at any time without
affecting the counting sequence. Any write to either byte of the TPMxCNT counter resets the counter
regardless of the data value written.

All TPM channels are programmable independently as input capture, output compare, or buffered
edge-aligned PWM channels.
10.2 External Signal Description
When any pin associated with the timer is configured as a timer input, a passive pullup can be enabled.
After reset, the TPM modules are disabled and all pins default to general-purpose inputs with the passive
pullups disabled.
10.2.1 External TPM Clock Sources
When control bits CLKSB:CLKSA in the timer status and control register are set to 1:1, the prescaler and
consequently the 16-bit counter for TPMx are driven by an external clock source, TPMxCLK, connected
to an I/O pin. A synchronizer is needed between the external clock and the rest of the TPM. This
synchronizer is clocked by the bus clock so the frequency of the external source must be less than one-half
the frequency of the bus rate clock. The upper frequency limit for this external clock source is specified to
be one-fourth the bus frequency to conservatively accommodate duty cycle and phase-locked loop (PLL)
or frequency-locked loop (FLL) frequency jitter effects.
On some devices the external clock input is shared with one of the TPM channels. When a TPM channel
is shared as the external clock input, the associated TPM channel cannot use the pin. (The channel can still
be used in output compare mode as a software timer.) Also, if one of the TPM channels is used as the
external clock input, the corresponding ELSnB:ELSnA control bits must be set to 0:0 so the channel is not
trying to use the same pin.
10.2.2 TPMxCHn — TPMx Channel n I/O Pins
Each TPM channel is associated with an I/O pin on the MCU. The function of this pin depends on the
configuration of the channel. In some cases, no pin function is needed so the pin reverts to being controlled
by general-purpose I/O controls. When a timer has control of a port pin, the port data and data direction
registers do not affect the related pin(s). See the Pins and Connections chapter for additional information
about shared pin functions.
10.3 Register Definition
The TPM includes:
• An 8-bit status and control register (TPMxSC)
• A 16-bit counter (TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL)
• A 16-bit modulo register (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL)
Each timer channel has:
• An 8-bit status and control register (TPMxCnSC)
• A 16-bit channel value register (TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL)

Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute
addresses.
Some MCU systems have more than one TPM, so register names include placeholder characters to identify
which TPM and which channel is being referenced. For example, TPMxCnSC refers to timer (TPM) x,
channel n and TPM1C2SC is the status and control register for timer 1, channel 2.
10.3.1 Timer x Status and Control Register (TPMxSC)
TPMxSC contains the overflow status flag and control bits that are used to configure the interrupt enable,
TPM configuration, clock source, and prescale divisor. These controls relate to all channels within this
timer module.

TOF
Timer Overflow Flag — This flag is set when the TPM counter changes to 0x0000 after reaching the modulo
value programmed in the TPM counter modulo registers. When the TPM is configured for CPWM, TOF is set
after the counter has reached the value in the modulo register, at the transition to the next lower count value.
Clear TOF by reading the TPM status and control register when TOF is set and then writing a 0 to TOF. If another
TPM overflow occurs before the clearing sequence is complete, the sequence is reset so TOF would remain set
after the clear sequence was completed for the earlier TOF. Reset clears TOF. Writing a 1 to TOF has no effect.

TOIE

interrupt is generated when TOF equals 1. Reset clears TOIE.

CPWMS
Center-Aligned PWM Select — This read/write bit selects CPWM operating mode. Reset clears this bit so the
TPM operates in up-counting mode for input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM functions. Setting
CPWMS reconfigures the TPM to operate in up-/down-counting mode for CPWM functions. Reset clears
CPWMS.

bus clock by an on-chip synchronization circuit.

Prescale Divisor Select — This 3-bit field selects one of eight divisors for the TPM clock input as shown in

whatever clock source is selected to drive the TPM system.

10.3.2 Timer x Counter Registers (TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL)
The two read-only TPM counter registers contain the high and low bytes of the value in the TPM counter.
Reading either byte (TPMxCNTH or TPMxCNTL) latches the contents of both bytes into a buffer where
they remain latched until the other byte is read. This allows coherent 16-bit reads in either order. The
coherency mechanism is automatically restarted by an MCU reset, a write of any value to TPMxCNTH or
TPMxCNTL, or any write to the timer status/control register (TPMxSC).
Reset clears the TPM counter registers.

2If the external clock input is shared with channel n and is selected as the TPM clock source,
the corresponding ELSnB:ELSnA control bits should be set to 0:0 so channel n does not try
to use the same pin for a conflicting function.

When background mode is active, the timer counter and the coherency mechanism are frozen such that the
buffer latches remain in the state they were in when the background mode became active even if one or
both bytes of the counter are read while background mode is active.
10.3.3 Timer x Counter Modulo Registers (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL)
The read/write TPM modulo registers contain the modulo value for the TPM counter. After the TPM
counter reaches the modulo value, the TPM counter resumes counting from 0x0000 at the next clock
(CPWMS = 0) or starts counting down (CPWMS = 1), and the overflow flag (TOF) becomes set. Writing
to TPMxMODH or TPMxMODL inhibits TOF and overflow interrupts until the other byte is written. Reset
sets the TPM counter modulo registers to 0x0000, which results in a free-running timer counter (modulo
disabled).
It is good practice to wait for an overflow interrupt so both bytes of the modulo register can be written well
before a new overflow. An alternative approach is to reset the TPM counter before writing to the TPM
modulo registers to avoid confusion about when the first counter overflow will occur.

CHnF
Channel n Flag — When channel n is configured for input capture, this flag bit is set when an active edge occurs
on the channel n pin. When channel n is an output compare or edge-aligned PWM channel, CHnF is set when
the value in the TPM counter registers matches the value in the TPM channel n value registers. This flag is
seldom used with center-aligned PWMs because it is set every time the counter matches the channel value
register, which correspond to both edges of the active duty cycle period.
A corresponding interrupt is requested when CHnF is set and interrupts are enabled (CHnIE = 1). Clear CHnF
by reading TPMxCnSC while CHnF is set and then writing a 0 to CHnF. If another interrupt request occurs before
the clearing sequence is complete, the sequence is reset so CHnF would remain set after the clear sequence
was completed for the earlier CHnF. This is done so a CHnF interrupt request cannot be lost by clearing a
previous CHnF. Reset clears CHnF. Writing a 1 to CHnF has no effect.

MSnA
Mode Select A for TPM Channel n — When CPWMS = 0 and MSnB = 0, MSnA configures TPM channel n for
input capture mode or output compare mode. Refer to Table 10-5 for a summary of channel mode and setup
controls.

ELSn[B:A]
Edge/Level Select Bits — Depending on the operating mode for the timer channel as set by
CPWMS:MSnB:MSnA and shown in Table 10-5, these bits select the polarity of the input edge that triggers an
input capture event, select the level that will be driven in response to an output compare match, or select the
polarity of the PWM output.
Setting ELSnB:ELSnA to 0:0 configures the related timer pin as a general-purpose I/O pin unrelated to any timer
channel functions. This function is typically used to temporarily disable an input capture channel or to make the
timer pin available as a general-purpose I/O pin when the associated timer channel is set up as a software timer
that does not require the use of a pin.

If the associated port pin is not stable for at least two bus clock cycles before changing to input capture
mode, it is possible to get an unexpected indication of an edge trigger. Typically, a program would clear
status flags after changing channel configuration bits and before enabling channel interrupts or using the
status flags to avoid any unexpected behavior.
10.3.5 Timer x Channel Value Registers (TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL)
These read/write registers contain the captured TPM counter value of the input capture function or the
output compare value for the output compare or PWM functions. The channel value registers are cleared
by reset.
In input capture mode, reading either byte (TPMxCnVH or TPMxCnVL) latches the contents of both bytes
into a buffer where they remain latched until the other byte is read. This latching mechanism also resets
(becomes unlatched) when the TPMxCnSC register is written.

In output compare or PWM modes, writing to either byte (TPMxCnVH or TPMxCnVL) latches the value
into a buffer. When both bytes have been written, they are transferred as a coherent 16-bit value into the
timer channel value registers. This latching mechanism may be manually reset by writing to the
TPMxCnSC register.
This latching mechanism allows coherent 16-bit writes in either order, which is friendly to various
compiler implementations.
10.4 Functional Description
All TPM functions are associated with a main 16-bit counter that allows flexible selection of the clock
source and prescale divisor. A 16-bit modulo register also is associated with the main 16-bit counter in the
TPM. Each TPM channel is optionally associated with an MCU pin and a maskable interrupt function.
The TPM has center-aligned PWM capabilities controlled by the CPWMS control bit in TPMxSC. When
CPWMS is set to 1, timer counter TPMxCNT changes to an up-/down-counter and all channels in the
associated TPM act as center-aligned PWM channels. When CPWMS = 0, each channel can
independently be configured to operate in input capture, output compare, or buffered edge-aligned PWM
mode.
The following sections describe the main 16-bit counter and each of the timer operating modes (input
capture, output compare, edge-aligned PWM, and center-aligned PWM). Because details of pin operation
and interrupt activity depend on the operating mode, these topics are covered in the associated mode
sections.
10.4.1 Counter
All timer functions are based on the main 16-bit counter (TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL). This section
discusses selection of the clock source, up-counting vs. up-/down-counting, end-of-count overflow, and
manual counter reset.
After any MCU reset, CLKSB:CLKSA = 0:0 so no clock source is selected and the TPM is inactive.
Normally, CLKSB:CLKSA would be set to 0:1 so the bus clock drives the timer counter. The clock source
for each of the TPM can be independently selected to be off, the bus clock (BUSCLK), the fixed system
clock (XCLK), or an external input. The maximum frequency allowed for the external clock option is
one-fourth the bus rate. Refer to Section 10.3.1, “Timer x Status and Control Register (TPMxSC)”and
Table 10-2 for more information about clock source selection.
When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the TPM temporarily suspends all counting until
the microcontroller returns to normal user operating mode. During stop mode, all TPM clocks are stopped;
therefore, the TPM is effectively disabled until clocks resume. During wait mode, the TPM continues to
operate normally.
The main 16-bit counter has two counting modes. When center-aligned PWM is selected (CPWMS = 1),
the counter operates in up-/down-counting mode. Otherwise, the counter operates as a simple up-counter.
As an up-counter, the main 16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through its terminal count and then
continues with 0x0000. The terminal count is 0xFFFF or a modulus value in TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL.
Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
164 Freescale Semiconductor
When center-aligned PWM operation is specified, the counter counts upward from 0x0000 through its
terminal count and then counts downward to 0x0000 where it returns to up-counting. Both 0x0000 and the
terminal count value (value in TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL) are normal length counts (one timer clock
period long).
An interrupt flag and enable are associated with the main 16-bit counter. The timer overflow flag (TOF) is
a software-accessible indication that the timer counter has overflowed. The enable signal selects between
software polling (TOIE = 0) where no hardware interrupt is generated, or interrupt-driven operation
(TOIE = 1) where a static hardware interrupt is automatically generated whenever the TOF flag is 1.
The conditions that cause TOF to become set depend on the counting mode (up or up/down). In
up-counting mode, the main 16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF and overflows to 0x0000
on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the transition from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. When a modulus
limit is set, TOF becomes set at the transition from the value set in the modulus register to 0x0000. When
the main 16-bit counter is operating in up-/down-counting mode, the TOF flag gets set as the counter
changes direction at the transition from the value set in the modulus register and the next lower count value.
This corresponds to the end of a PWM period. (The 0x0000 count value corresponds to the center of a
period.)
Because the HCS08 MCU is an 8-bit architecture, a coherency mechanism is built into the timer counter
for read operations. Whenever either byte of the counter is read (TPMxCNTH or TPMxCNTL), both bytes
are captured into a buffer so when the other byte is read, the value will represent the other byte of the count
at the time the first byte was read. The counter continues to count normally, but no new value can be read
from either byte until both bytes of the old count have been read.
The main timer counter can be reset manually at any time by writing any value to either byte of the timer
count TPMxCNTH or TPMxCNTL. Resetting the counter in this manner also resets the coherency
mechanism in case only one byte of the counter was read before resetting the count.
10.4.2 Channel Mode Selection
Provided CPWMS = 0 (center-aligned PWM operation is not specified), the MSnB and MSnA control bits
in the channel n status and control registers determine the basic mode of operation for the corresponding
channel. Choices include input capture, output compare, and buffered edge-aligned PWM.
10.4.2.1 Input Capture Mode
With the input capture function, the TPM can capture the time at which an external event occurs. When an
active edge occurs on the pin of an input capture channel, the TPM latches the contents of the TPM counter
into the channel value registers (TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL). Rising edges, falling edges, or any edge may
be chosen as the active edge that triggers an input capture.
When either byte of the 16-bit capture register is read, both bytes are latched into a buffer to support
coherent 16-bit accesses regardless of order. The coherency sequence can be manually reset by writing to
the channel status/control register (TPMxCnSC).
An input capture event sets a flag bit (CHnF) that can optionally generate a CPU interrupt request.

MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 165
10.4.2.2 Output Compare Mode
With the output compare function, the TPM can generate timed pulses with programmable position,
polarity, duration, and frequency. When the counter reaches the value in the channel value registers of an
output compare channel, the TPM can set, clear, or toggle the channel pin.
In output compare mode, values are transferred to the corresponding timer channel value registers only
after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have been written. This coherency sequence can be manually reset
by writing to the channel status/control register (TPMxCnSC).
An output compare event sets a flag bit (CHnF) that can optionally generate a CPU interrupt request.
10.4.2.3 Edge-Aligned PWM Mode
This type of PWM output uses the normal up-counting mode of the timer counter (CPWMS = 0) and can
be used when other channels in the same TPM are configured for input capture or output compare
functions. The period of this PWM signal is determined by the setting in the modulus register
(TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL). The duty cycle is determined by the setting in the timer channel value
register (TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL). The polarity of this PWM signal is determined by the setting in the
ELSnA control bit. Duty cycle cases of 0 percent and 100 percent are possible.
As Figure 10-11 shows, the output compare value in the TPM channel registers determines the pulse width
(duty cycle) of the PWM signal. The time between the modulus overflow and the output compare is the
pulse width. If ELSnA = 0, the counter overflow forces the PWM signal high and the output compare
forces the PWM signal low. If ELSnA = 1, the counter overflow forces the PWM signal low and the output
compare forces the PWM signal high.
Figure 10-11. PWM Period and Pulse Width (ELSnA = 0)
When the channel value register is set to 0x0000, the duty cycle is 0 percent. By setting the timer channel
value register (TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL) to a value greater than the modulus setting, 100% duty cycle
can be achieved. This implies that the modulus setting must be less than 0xFFFF to get 100% duty cycle.
Because the HCS08 is a family of 8-bit MCUs, the settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to
ensure coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to either register,
TPMxCnVH or TPMxCnVL, write to buffer registers. In edge-PWM mode, values are transferred to the
corresponding timer channel registers only after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have been written and
the value in the TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL counter is 0x0000. (The new duty cycle does not take effect
until the next full period.)

10.4.3 Center-Aligned PWM Mode
This type of PWM output uses the up-/down-counting mode of the timer counter (CPWMS = 1). The
output compare value in TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL determines the pulse width (duty cycle) of the PWM
signal and the period is determined by the value in TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL.
TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL should be kept in the range of 0x0001 to 0x7FFF because values outside this
range can produce ambiguous results. ELSnA will determine the polarity of the CPWM output.
pulse width = 2 x (TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL) Eqn. 10-1
period = 2 x (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL);
for TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL = 0x0001–0x7FFF Eqn. 10-2
If the channel value register TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL is zero or negative (bit 15 set), the duty cycle will
be 0%. If TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL is a positive value (bit 15 clear) and is greater than the (nonzero)
modulus setting, the duty cycle will be 100% because the duty cycle compare will never occur. This
implies the usable range of periods set by the modulus register is 0x0001 through 0x7FFE (0x7FFF if
generation of 100% duty cycle is not necessary). This is not a significant limitation because the resulting
period is much longer than required for normal applications.
TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL = 0x0000 is a special case that should not be used with center-aligned PWM
mode. When CPWMS = 0, this case corresponds to the counter running free from 0x0000 through
0xFFFF, but when CPWMS = 1 the counter needs a valid match to the modulus register somewhere other
than at 0x0000 in order to change directions from up-counting to down-counting.
Figure 10-12 shows the output compare value in the TPM channel registers (multiplied by 2), which
determines the pulse width (duty cycle) of the CPWM signal. If ELSnA = 0, the compare match while
counting up forces the CPWM output signal low and a compare match while counting down forces the
output high. The counter counts up until it reaches the modulo setting in TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL, then
counts down until it reaches zero. This sets the period equal to two times TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL.
Figure 10-12. CPWM Period and Pulse Width (ELSnA = 0)
Center-aligned PWM outputs typically produce less noise than edge-aligned PWMs because fewer I/O pin
transitions are lined up at the same system clock edge. This type of PWM is also required for some types
of motor drives.
Because the HCS08 is a family of 8-bit MCUs, the settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to
ensure coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to any of the registers,
TPMxMODH, TPMxMODL, TPMxCnVH, and TPMxCnVL, actually write to buffer registers. Values are

transferred to the corresponding timer channel registers only after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have
been written and the timer counter overflows (reverses direction from up-counting to down-counting at the
end of the terminal count in the modulus register). This TPMxCNT overflow requirement only applies to
PWM channels, not output compares.
Optionally, when TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL = TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL, the TPM can generate a TOF
interrupt at the end of this count. The user can choose to reload any number of the PWM buffers, and they
will all update simultaneously at the start of a new period.
Writing to TPMxSC cancels any values written to TPMxMODH and/or TPMxMODL and resets the
coherency mechanism for the modulo registers. Writing to TPMxCnSC cancels any values written to the
channel value registers and resets the coherency mechanism for TPMxCnVH:TPMxCnVL.
10.5 TPM Interrupts
The TPM generates an optional interrupt for the main counter overflow and an interrupt for each channel.
The meaning of channel interrupts depends on the mode of operation for each channel. If the channel is
configured for input capture, the interrupt flag is set each time the selected input capture edge is
recognized. If the channel is configured for output compare or PWM modes, the interrupt flag is set each
time the main timer counter matches the value in the 16-bit channel value register. See the Resets,
Interrupts, and System Configuration chapter for absolute interrupt vector addresses, priority, and local
interrupt mask control bits.
For each interrupt source in the TPM, a flag bit is set on recognition of the interrupt condition such as timer
overflow, channel input capture, or output compare events. This flag may be read (polled) by software to
verify that the action has occurred, or an associated enable bit (TOIE or CHnIE) can be set to enable
hardware interrupt generation. While the interrupt enable bit is set, a static interrupt will be generated
whenever the associated interrupt flag equals 1. It is the responsibility of user software to perform a
sequence of steps to clear the interrupt flag before returning from the interrupt service routine.
10.5.1 Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags
TPM interrupt flags are cleared by a 2-step process that includes a read of the flag bit while it is set (1)
followed by a write of 0 to the bit. If a new event is detected between these two steps, the sequence is reset
and the interrupt flag remains set after the second step to avoid the possibility of missing the new event.
10.5.2 Timer Overflow Interrupt Description
The conditions that cause TOF to become set depend on the counting mode (up or up/down). In
up-counting mode, the 16-bit timer counter counts from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF and overflows to 0x0000
on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the transition from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. When a modulus
limit is set, TOF becomes set at the transition from the value set in the modulus register to 0x0000. When
the counter is operating in up-/down-counting mode, the TOF flag gets set as the counter changes direction
at the transition from the value set in the modulus register and the next lower count value. This corresponds
to the end of a PWM period. (The 0x0000 count value corresponds to the center of a period.)

168 Freescale Semiconductor
10.5.3 Channel Event Interrupt Description
The meaning of channel interrupts depends on the current mode of the channel (input capture, output
compare, edge-aligned PWM, or center-aligned PWM).
When a channel is configured as an input capture channel, the ELSnB:ELSnA control bits select rising
edges, falling edges, any edge, or no edge (off) as the edge that triggers an input capture event. When the
selected edge is detected, the interrupt flag is set. The flag is cleared by the 2-step sequence described in
Section 10.5.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags.”
When a channel is configured as an output compare channel, the interrupt flag is set each time the main
timer counter matches the 16-bit value in the channel value register. The flag is cleared by the 2-step
sequence described in Section 10.5.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags.”
10.5.4 PWM End-of-Duty-Cycle Events
For channels that are configured for PWM operation, there are two possibilities:
• When the channel is configured for edge-aligned PWM, the channel flag is set when the timer
counter matches the channel value register that marks the end of the active duty cycle period.
• When the channel is configured for center-aligned PWM, the timer count matches the channel
value register twice during each PWM cycle. In this CPWM case, the channel flag is set at the start
and at the end of the active duty cycle, which are the times when the timer counter matches the
channel value register.
The flag is cleared by the 2-step sequence described in Section 10.5.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags.”

Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV1)
11.1 Introduction
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A includes two independent serial communications interface (SCI) modules —
sometimes called universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs). Typically, these systems are used
to connect to the RS232 serial input/output (I/O) port of a personal computer or workstation, and they can
also be used to communicate with other embedded controllers.
A flexible, 13-bit, modulo-based baud rate generator supports a broad range of standard baud rates beyond
115.2 kbaud. Transmit and receive within the same SCI use a common baud rate, and each SCI module
has a separate baud rate generator.
This SCI system offers many advanced features not commonly found on other asynchronous serial I/O
peripherals on other embedded controllers. The receiver employs an advanced data sampling technique
that ensures reliable communication and noise detection. Hardware parity, receiver wakeup, and double
buffering on transmit and receive are also included.

11.2 Register Definition
The SCI has eight 8-bit registers to control baud rate, select SCI options, report SCI status, and for
transmit/receive data.
Refer to the direct-page register summary in the Memory chapter of this data sheet for the absolute address
assignments for all SCI registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A
Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute
addresses.
11.2.1 SCI Baud Rate Registers (SCIxBDH, SCIxBHL)
This pair of registers controls the prescale divisor for SCI baud rate generation. To update the 13-bit baud
rate setting [SBR12:SBR0], first write to SCIxBDH to buffer the high half of the new value and then write
to SCIxBDL. The working value in SCIxBDH does not change until SCIxBDL is written.
SCIxBDL is reset to a non-zero value, so after reset the baud rate generator remains disabled until the first
time the receiver or transmitter is enabled (RE or TE bits in SCIxC2 are written to 1).

RSRC
Receiver Source Select — This bit has no meaning or effect unless the LOOPS bit is set to 1. When
LOOPS = 1, the receiver input is internally connected to the TxD pin and RSRC determines whether this
connection is also connected to the transmitter output.
0 Provided LOOPS = 1, RSRC = 0 selects internal loop back mode and the SCI does not use the RxD pins.

ILT
Idle Line Type Select — Setting this bit to 1 ensures that the stop bit and logic 1 bits at the end of a character
do not count toward the 10 or 11 bit times of the logic high level by the idle line detection logic. Refer to
Section 11.3.3.2.1, “Idle-Line Wakeup” for more information.
0 Idle character bit count starts after start bit.
1 Idle character bit count starts after stop bit.

PE
Parity Enable — Enables hardware parity generation and checking. When parity is enabled, the most significant
bit (MSB) of the data character (eighth or ninth data bit) is treated as the parity bit.
0 No hardware parity generation or checking.
1 Parity enabled.
0
PT
Parity Type — Provided parity is enabled (PE = 1), this bit selects even or odd parity. Odd parity means the total
number of 1s in the data character, including the parity bit, is odd. Even parity means the total number of 1s in
the data character, including the parity bit, is even.
0 Even parity.

Transmitter Enable
0 Transmitter off.

TE must be 1 in order to use the SCI transmitter. Normally, when TE = 1, the SCI forces the TxD pin to act as an
output for the SCI system. If LOOPS = 1 and RSRC = 0, the TxD pin reverts to being a port B general-purpose
I/O pin even if TE = 1.
When the SCI is configured for single-wire operation (LOOPS = RSRC = 1), TXDIR controls the direction of
traffic on the single SCI communication line (TxD pin).
TE also can be used to queue an idle character by writing TE = 0 then TE = 1 while a transmission is in progress.
Refer to Section 11.3.2.1, “Send Break and Queued Idle,” for more details.
When TE is written to 0, the transmitter keeps control of the port TxD pin until any data, queued idle, or queued
break character finishes transmitting before allowing the pin to revert to a general-purpose I/O pin.

11.2.4 SCI Status Register 1 (SCIxS1)
This register has eight read-only status flags. Writes have no effect. Special software sequences (which do
not involve writing to this register) are used to clear these status flags.
1
RWU
Receiver Wakeup Control — This bit can be written to 1 to place the SCI receiver in a standby state where it
waits for automatic hardware detection of a selected wakeup condition. The wakeup condition is either an idle
line between messages (WAKE = 0, idle-line wakeup), or a logic 1 in the most significant data bit in a character
(WAKE = 1, address-mark wakeup). Application software sets RWU and (normally) a selected hardware
condition automatically clears RWU. Refer to Section 11.3.3.2, “Receiver Wakeup Operation,” for more details.
0 Normal SCI receiver operation.
1 SCI receiver in standby waiting for wakeup condition.

SBK
Send Break — Writing a 1 and thena0toSBKqueues a break character in the transmit data stream. Additional
break characters of 10 or 11 bit times of logic 0 are queued as long as SBK = 1. Depending on the timing of the
set and clear of SBK relative to the information currently being transmitted, a second break character may be
queued before software clears SBK. Refer to Section 11.3.2.1, “Send Break and Queued Idle,” for more details.

TDRE
Transmit Data Register Empty Flag — TDRE is set immediately after reset and when a transmit data value
transfers from the transmit data buffer to the transmit shifter, leaving room for a new character in the buffer. To

TC is cleared automatically by reading SCIxS1 with TC = 1 and then doing one of the following three things:
• Write to the SCI data register (SCIxD) to transmit new data
• Queue a preamble by changing TE from 0 to 1
• Queue a break character by writing 1 to SBK in SCIxC2

RDRF
Receive Data Register Full Flag — RDRF becomes set when a character transfers from the receive shifter into
the receive data register (SCIxD). To clear RDRF, read SCIxS1 with RDRF = 1 and then read the SCI data
register (SCIxD).
0 Receive data register empty.
1 Receive data register full.
4
IDLE
Idle Line Flag — IDLE is set when the SCI receive line becomes idle for a full character time after a period of
activity. When ILT = 0, the receiver starts counting idle bit times after the start bit. So if the receive character is
all 1s, these bit times and the stop bit time count toward the full character time of logic high (10 or 11 bit times
depending on the M control bit) needed for the receiver to detect an idle line. When ILT = 1, the receiver doesn’t
start counting idle bit times until after the stop bit. So the stop bit and any logic high bit times at the end of the
previous character do not count toward the full character time of logic high needed for the receiver to detect an
idle line.
To clear IDLE, read SCIxS1 with IDLE = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD). After IDLE has been
cleared, it cannot become set again until after a new character has been received and RDRF has been set. IDLE
will get set only once even if the receive line remains idle for an extended period.
0 No idle line detected.
1 Idle line was detected.
3
OR
Receiver Overrun Flag — OR is set when a new serial character is ready to be transferred to the receive data
register (buffer), but the previously received character has not been read from SCIxD yet. In this case, the new
character (and all associated error information) is lost because there is no room to move it into SCIxD. To clear
OR, read SCIxS1 with OR = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No overrun.
1 Receive overrun (new SCI data lost).
2
NF
Noise Flag — The advanced sampling technique used in the receiver takes seven samples during the start bit
and three samples in each data bit and the stop bit. If any of these samples disagrees with the rest of the samples
within any bit time in the frame, the flag NF will be set at the same time as the flag RDRF gets set for the
character. To clear NF, read SCIxS1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No noise detected.
1 Noise detected in the received character in SCIxD.
1
FE
Framing Error Flag — FE is set at the same time as RDRF when the receiver detects a logic 0 where the stop
bit was expected. This suggests the receiver was not properly aligned to a character frame. To clear FE, read
SCIxS1 with FE = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No framing error detected. This does not guarantee the framing is correct.
1 Framing error.
0
PF
Parity Error Flag — PF is set at the same time as RDRF when parity is enabled (PE = 1) and the parity bit in
the received character does not agree with the expected parity value. To clear PF, read SCIxS1 and then read
the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No parity error.
1 Parity error.

R8
Ninth Data Bit for Receiver — When the SCI is configured for 9-bit data (M = 1), R8 can be thought of as a
ninth receive data bit to the left of the MSB of the buffered data in the SCIxD register. When reading 9-bit data,
read R8 before reading SCIxD because reading SCIxD completes automatic flag clearing sequences which
could allow R8 and SCIxD to be overwritten with new data.

T8
Ninth Data Bit for Transmitter — When the SCI is configured for 9-bit data (M = 1), T8 may be thought of as a
ninth transmit data bit to the left of the MSB of the data in the SCIxD register. When writing 9-bit data, the entire
9-bit value is transferred to the SCI shift register after SCIxD is written so T8 should be written (if it needs to
change from its previous value) before SCIxD is written. If T8 does not need to change in the new value (such
as when it is used to generate mark or space parity), it need not be written each time SCIxD is written.

11.3 Functional Description
The SCI allows full-duplex, asynchronous, NRZ serial communication among the MCU and remote
devices, including other MCUs. The SCI comprises a baud rate generator, transmitter, and receiver block.
The transmitter and receiver operate independently, although they use the same baud rate generator. During
normal operation, the MCU monitors the status of the SCI, writes the data to be transmitted, and processes
received data. The following describes each of the blocks of the SCI.
11.3.1 Baud Rate Generation
As shown in Figure 11-12, the clock source for the SCI baud rate generator is the bus-rate clock.
Figure 11-12. SCI Baud Rate Generation
SCI communications require the transmitter and receiver (which typically derive baud rates from
independent clock sources) to use the same baud rate. Allowed tolerance on this baud frequency depends
on the details of how the receiver synchronizes to the leading edge of the start bit and how bit sampling is
performed.
The MCU resynchronizes to bit boundaries on every high-to-low transition, but in the worst case, there are
no such transitions in the full 10- or 11-bit time character frame so any mismatch in baud rate is
accumulated for the whole character time. For a Freescale Semiconductor SCI system whose bus
frequency is driven by a crystal, the allowed baud rate mismatch is about ±4.5 percent for 8-bit data format
and about ±4 percent for 9-bit data format. Although baud rate modulo divider settings do not always
produce baud rates that exactly match standard rates, it is normally possible to get within a few percent,
which is acceptable for reliable communications.
11.3.2 Transmitter Functional Description
This section describes the overall block diagram for the SCI transmitter (Figure 11-2), as well as
specialized functions for sending break and idle characters.
The transmitter is enabled by setting the TE bit in SCIxC2. This queues a preamble character that is one
full character frame of the idle state. The transmitter then remains idle until data is available in the transmit
data buffer. Programs store data into the transmit data buffer by writing to the SCI data register (SCIxD).
The central element of the SCI transmitter is the transmit shift register that is either 10 or 11 bits long
depending on the setting in the M control bit. For the remainder of this section, we will assume M = 0,
selecting the normal 8-bit data mode. In 8-bit data mode, the shift register holds a start bit, eight data bits,
and a stop bit. When the transmit shift register is available for a new SCI character, the value waiting in

the transmit data register is transferred to the shift register (synchronized with the baud rate clock) and the
transmit data register empty (TDRE) status flag is set to indicate another character may be written to the
transmit data buffer at SCIxD.
If no new character is waiting in the transmit data buffer after a stop bit is shifted out the TxD1 pin, the
transmitter sets the transmit complete flag and enters an idle mode, with TxD1 high, waiting for more
characters to transmit.
Writing 0 to TE does not immediately release the pin to be a general-purpose I/O pin. Any transmit activity
that is in progress must first be completed. This includes data characters in progress, queued idle
characters, and queued break characters.
11.3.2.1 Send Break and Queued Idle
The SBK control bit in SCIxC2 is used to send break characters which were originally used to gain the
attention of old teletype receivers. Break characters are a full character time of logic 0 (10 bit times
including the start and stop bits). Normally, a program would wait for TDRE to become set to indicate the
last character of a message has moved to the transmit shifter, then write 1 and then write 0 to the SBK bit.
This action queues a break character to be sent as soon as the shifter is available. If SBK is still 1 when the
queued break moves into the shifter (synchronized to the baud rate clock), an additional break character is
queued. If the receiving device is another Freescale Semiconductor SCI, the break characters will be
received as 0s in all eight data bits and a framing error (FE = 1) occurs.
When idle-line wakeup is used, a full character time of idle (logic 1) is needed between messages to wake
up any sleeping receivers. Normally, a program would wait for TDRE to become set to indicate the last
character of a message has moved to the transmit shifter, then write 0 and then write 1 to the TE bit. This
action queues an idle character to be sent as soon as the shifter is available. As long as the character in the
shifter does not finish while TE = 0, the SCI transmitter never actually releases control of the TxD1 pin. If
there is a possibility of the shifter finishing while TE = 0, set the general-purpose I/O controls so the pin
that is shared with TxD1 is an output driving a logic 1. This ensures that the TxD1 line will look like a
normal idle line even if the SCI loses control of the port pin between writing 0 and then 1 to TE.
11.3.3 Receiver Functional Description
In this section, the data sampling technique used to reconstruct receiver data is described in more detail;
two variations of the receiver wakeup function are explained. (The receiver block diagram is shown in
Figure 11-3.)
The receiver is enabled by setting the RE bit in SCIxC2. Character frames consist of a start bit of logic 0,
eight (or nine) data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit of logic 1. For information about 9-bit data mode, refer
to Section 11.3.5.1, “8- and 9-Bit Data Modes.” For the remainder of this discussion, we assume the SCI
is configured for normal 8-bit data mode.
After receiving the stop bit into the receive shifter, and provided the receive data register is not already full,
the data character is transferred to the receive data register and the receive data register full (RDRF) status
flag is set. If RDRF was already set indicating the receive data register (buffer) was already full, the overrun
(OR) status flag is set and the new data is lost. Because the SCI receiver is double-buffered, the program
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV1)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 183
has one full character time after RDRF is set before the data in the receive data buffer must be read to avoid
a receiver overrun.
When a program detects that the receive data register is full (RDRF = 1), it gets the data from the receive
data register by reading SCIxD. The RDRF flag is cleared automatically by a 2-step sequence which is
normally satisfied in the course of the user’s program that handles receive data. Refer to Section 11.3.4,
“Interrupts and Status Flags,” for more details about flag clearing.
11.3.3.1 Data Sampling Technique
The SCI receiver uses a 16×baud rate clock for sampling. The receiver starts by taking logic level samples
at 16 times the baud rate to search for a falling edge on the RxD1 serial data input pin. A falling edge is
defined as a logic 0 sample after three consecutive logic 1 samples. The 16× baud rate clock is used to
divide the bit time into 16 segments labeled RT1 through RT16. When a falling edge is located, three more
samples are taken at RT3, RT5, and RT7 to make sure this was a real start bit and not merely noise. If at
least two of these three samples are 0, the receiver assumes it is synchronized to a receive character.
The receiver then samples each bit time, including the start and stop bits, at RT8, RT9, and RT10 to
determine the logic level for that bit. The logic level is interpreted to be that of the majority of the samples
taken during the bit time. In the case of the start bit, the bit is assumed to be 0 if at least two of the samples
at RT3, RT5, and RT7 are 0 even if one or all of the samples taken at RT8, RT9, and RT10 are 1s. If any
sample in any bit time (including the start and stop bits) in a character frame fails to agree with the logic
level for that bit, the noise flag (NF) will be set when the received character is transferred to the receive
data buffer.
The falling edge detection logic continuously looks for falling edges, and if an edge is detected, the sample
clock is resynchronized to bit times. This improves the reliability of the receiver in the presence of noise
or mismatched baud rates. It does not improve worst case analysis because some characters do not have
any extra falling edges anywhere in the character frame.
In the case of a framing error, provided the received character was not a break character, the sampling logic
that searches for a falling edge is filled with three logic 1 samples so that a new start bit can be detected
almost immediately.
In the case of a framing error, the receiver is inhibited from receiving any new characters until the framing
error flag is cleared. The receive shift register continues to function, but a complete character cannot
transfer to the receive data buffer if FE is still set.
11.3.3.2 Receiver Wakeup Operation
Receiver wakeup is a hardware mechanism that allows an SCI receiver to ignore the characters in a
message that is intended for a different SCI receiver. In such a system, all receivers evaluate the first
character(s) of each message, and as soon as they determine the message is intended for a different
receiver, they write logic 1 to the receiver wake up (RWU) control bit in SCIxC2. When RWU = 1, it
inhibits setting of the status flags associated with the receiver, thus eliminating the software overhead for
handling the unimportant message characters. At the end of a message, or at the beginning of the next
message, all receivers automatically force RWU to 0 so all receivers wake up in time to look at the first
character(s) of the next message.
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV1)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
184 Freescale Semiconductor
11.3.3.2.1 Idle-Line Wakeup
When WAKE = 0, the receiver is configured for idle-line wakeup. In this mode, RWU is cleared
automatically when the receiver detects a full character time of the idle-line level. The M control bit selects
8-bit or 9-bit data mode that determines how many bit times of idle are needed to constitute a full character
time (10 or 11 bit times because of the start and stop bits).
When the RWU bit is set, the idle character that wakes a receiver does not set the receiver idle bit, IDLE,
or the receive data register full flag, RDRF. It therefore will not generate an interrupt when this idle
character occurs. The receiver will wake up and wait for the next data transmission which will set RDRF
and generate an interrupt if enabled.
The idle-line type (ILT) control bit selects one of two ways to detect an idle line. When ILT = 0, the idle
bit counter starts after the start bit so the stop bit and any logic 1s at the end of a character count toward
the full character time of idle. When ILT = 1, the idle bit counter does not start until after a stop bit time,
so the idle detection is not affected by the data in the last character of the previous message.
11.3.3.2.2 Address-Mark Wakeup
When WAKE = 1, the receiver is configured for address-mark wakeup. In this mode, RWU is cleared
automatically when the receiver detects a logic 1 in the most significant bit of a received character (eighth
bit in M = 0 mode and ninth bit in M = 1 mode).
Address-mark wakeup allows messages to contain idle characters but requires that the MSB be reserved
for use in address frames. The logic 1 MSB of an address frame clears the receivers RWU bit before the
stop bit is received and sets the RDRF flag.
11.3.4 Interrupts and Status Flags
The SCI system has three separate interrupt vectors to reduce the amount of software needed to isolate the
cause of the interrupt. One interrupt vector is associated with the transmitter for TDRE and TC events.
Another interrupt vector is associated with the receiver for RDRF and IDLE events, and a third vector is
used for OR, NF, FE, and PF error conditions. Each of these eight interrupt sources can be separately
masked by local interrupt enable masks. The flags can still be polled by software when the local masks are
cleared to disable generation of hardware interrupt requests.
The SCI transmitter has two status flags that optionally can generate hardware interrupt requests. Transmit
data register empty (TDRE) indicates when there is room in the transmit data buffer to write another
transmit character to SCIxD. If the transmit interrupt enable (TIE) bit is set, a hardware interrupt will be
requested whenever TDRE = 1. Transmit complete (TC) indicates that the transmitter is finished
transmitting all data, preamble, and break characters and is idle with TxD1 high. This flag is often used in
systems with modems to determine when it is safe to turn off the modem. If the transmit complete interrupt
enable (TCIE) bit is set, a hardware interrupt will be requested whenever TC = 1. Instead of hardware
interrupts, software polling may be used to monitor the TDRE and TC status flags if the corresponding TIE
or TCIE local interrupt masks are 0s.
When a program detects that the receive data register is full (RDRF = 1), it gets the data from the receive
data register by reading SCIxD. The RDRF flag is cleared by reading SCIxS1 while RDRF = 1 and then
reading SCIxD.
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV1)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 185
When polling is used, this sequence is naturally satisfied in the normal course of the user program. If
hardware interrupts are used, SCIxS1 must be read in the interrupt service routine (ISR). Normally, this is
done in the ISR anyway to check for receive errors, so the sequence is automatically satisfied.
The IDLE status flag includes logic that prevents it from getting set repeatedly when the RxD1 line remains
idle for an extended period of time. IDLE is cleared by reading SCIxS1 while IDLE = 1 and then reading
SCIxD. After IDLE has been cleared, it cannot become set again until the receiver has received at least one
new character and has set RDRF.
If the associated error was detected in the received character that caused RDRF to be set, the error flags —
noise flag (NF), framing error (FE), and parity error flag (PF) — get set at the same time as RDRF. These
flags are not set in overrun cases.
If RDRF was already set when a new character is ready to be transferred from the receive shifter to the
receive data buffer, the overrun (OR) flag gets set instead and the data and any associated NF, FE, or PF
condition is lost.
11.3.5 Additional SCI Functions
The following sections describe additional SCI functions.
11.3.5.1 8- and 9-Bit Data Modes
The SCI system (transmitter and receiver) can be configured to operate in 9-bit data mode by setting the
M control bit in SCIxC1. In 9-bit mode, there is a ninth data bit to the left of the MSB of the SCI data
register. For the transmit data buffer, this bit is stored in T8 in SCIxC3. For the receiver, the ninth bit is
held in R8 in SCIxC3.
For coherent writes to the transmit data buffer, write to the T8 bit before writing to SCIxD.
If the bit value to be transmitted as the ninth bit of a new character is the same as for the previous character,
it is not necessary to write to T8 again. When data is transferred from the transmit data buffer to the
transmit shifter, the value in T8 is copied at the same time data is transferred from SCIxD to the shifter.
9-bit data mode typically is used in conjunction with parity to allow eight bits of data plus the parity in the
ninth bit. Or it is used with address-mark wakeup so the ninth data bit can serve as the wakeup bit. In
custom protocols, the ninth bit can also serve as a software-controlled marker.
11.3.5.2 Stop Mode Operation
During all stop modes, clocks to the SCI module are halted.
In stop1 and stop2 modes, all SCI register data is lost and must be re-initialized upon recovery from these
two stop modes.
No SCI module registers are affected in stop3 mode.
Because the clocks are halted, the SCI module will resume operation upon exit from stop (only in stop3
mode). Software should ensure stop mode is not entered while there is a character being transmitted out of
or received into the SCI module.

186 Freescale Semiconductor
11.3.5.3 Loop Mode
When LOOPS = 1, the RSRC bit in the same register chooses between loop mode (RSRC = 0) or
single-wire mode (RSRC = 1). Loop mode is sometimes used to check software, independent of
connections in the external system, to help isolate system problems. In this mode, the transmitter output is
internally connected to the receiver input and the RxD1 pin is not used by the SCI, so it reverts to a
general-purpose port I/O pin.
11.3.5.4 Single-Wire Operation
When LOOPS = 1, the RSRC bit in the same register chooses between loop mode (RSRC = 0) or
single-wire mode (RSRC = 1). Single-wire mode is used to implement a half-duplex serial connection.
The receiver is internally connected to the transmitter output and to the TxD1 pin. The RxD1 pin is not
used and reverts to a general-purpose port I/O pin.
In single-wire mode, the TXDIR bit in SCIxC3 controls the direction of serial data on the TxD1 pin. When
TXDIR = 0, the TxD1 pin is an input to the SCI receiver and the transmitter is temporarily disconnected
from the TxD1 pin so an external device can send serial data to the receiver. When TXDIR = 1, the TxD1
pin is an output driven by the transmitter. In single-wire mode, the internal loop back connection from the
transmitter to the receiver causes the receiver to receive characters that are sent out by the transmitter.

12.1 Introduction
The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A provides one serial peripheral interface (SPI) module. The four pins
associated with SPI functionality are shared with port E pins 2–5. See the Appendix A, “Electrical
Characteristics,” appendix for SPI electrical parametric information. When the SPI is enabled, the
direction of pins is controlled by module configuration. If the SPI is disabled, all four pins can be used as
general-purpose I/O.

12.1.2 Block Diagrams
This section includes block diagrams showing SPI system connections, the internal organization of the SPI
module, and the SPI clock dividers that control the master mode bit rate.
12.1.2.1 SPI System Block Diagram
Figure 12-3 shows the SPI modules of two MCUs connected in a master-slave arrangement. The master
device initiates all SPI data transfers. During a transfer, the master shifts data out (on the MOSI pin) to the
slave while simultaneously shifting data in (on the MISO pin) from the slave. The transfer effectively
exchanges the data that was in the SPI shift registers of the two SPI systems. The SPSCK signal is a clock
output from the master and an input to the slave. The slave device must be selected by a low level on the
slave select input (SS pin). In this system, the master device has configured its SS pin as an optional slave
select output.
Figure 12-3. SPI System Connections
The most common uses of the SPI system include connecting simple shift registers for adding input or
output ports or connecting small peripheral devices such as serial A/D or D/A converters. Although
Figure 12-3 shows a system where data is exchanged between two MCUs, many practical systems involve
simpler connections where data is unidirectionally transferred from the master MCU to a slave or from a
slave to the master MCU.
12.1.2.2 SPI Module Block Diagram
Figure 12-4 is a block diagram of the SPI module. The central element of the SPI is the SPI shift register.
Data is written to the double-buffered transmitter (write to SPID) and gets transferred to the SPI shift
register at the start of a data transfer. After shifting in a byte of data, the data is transferred into the
double-buffered receiver where it can be read (read from SPID). Pin multiplexing logic controls
connections between MCU pins and the SPI module.

When the SPI is configured as a master, the clock output is routed to the SPSCK pin, the shifter output is
routed to MOSI, and the shifter input is routed from the MISO pin.
When the SPI is configured as a slave, the SPSCK pin is routed to the clock input of the SPI, the shifter
output is routed to MISO, and the shifter input is routed from the MOSI pin.
In the external SPI system, simply connect all SPSCK pins to each other, all MISO pins together, and all
MOSI pins together. Peripheral devices often use slightly different names for these pins.

12.1.3 SPI Baud Rate Generation
As shown in Figure 12-5, the clock source for the SPI baud rate generator is the bus clock. The three
prescale bits (SPPR2:SPPR1:SPPR0) choose a prescale divisor of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. The three rate
select bits (SPR2:SPR1:SPR0) divide the output of the prescaler stage by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256
to get the internal SPI master mode bit-rate clock.

12.2 External Signal Description
The SPI optionally shares four port pins. The function of these pins depends on the settings of SPI control
bits. When the SPI is disabled (SPE = 0), these four pins revert to being general-purpose port I/O pins that
are not controlled by the SPI.
12.2.1 SPSCK — SPI Serial Clock
When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is the serial clock input. When the SPI is enabled as a master,
this pin is the serial clock output.
12.2.2 MOSI — Master Data Out, Slave Data In
When the SPI is enabled as a master and SPI pin control zero (SPC0) is 0 (not bidirectional mode), this
pin is the serial data output. When the SPI is enabled as a slave and SPC0 = 0, this pin is the serial data
input. If SPC0 = 1 to select single-wire bidirectional mode, and master mode is selected, this pin becomes
the bidirectional data I/O pin (MOMI). Also, the bidirectional mode output enable bit determines whether
the pin acts as an input (BIDIROE = 0) or an output (BIDIROE = 1). If SPC0 = 1 and slave mode is
selected, this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin.
12.2.3 MISO — Master Data In, Slave Data Out
When the SPI is enabled as a master and SPI pin control zero (SPC0) is 0 (not bidirectional mode), this
pin is the serial data input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave and SPC0 = 0, this pin is the serial data
output. If SPC0 = 1 to select single-wire bidirectional mode, and slave mode is selected, this pin becomes
the bidirectional data I/O pin (SISO) and the bidirectional mode output enable bit determines whether the
pin acts as an input (BIDIROE = 0) or an output (BIDIROE = 1). If SPC0 = 1 and master mode is selected,
this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin.
12.2.4 SS — Slave Select
When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is the low-true slave select input. When the SPI is enabled as
a master and mode fault enable is off (MODFEN = 0), this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being
a general-purpose port I/O pin. When the SPI is enabled as a master and MODFEN = 1, the slave select
output enable bit determines whether this pin acts as the mode fault input (SSOE = 0) or as the slave select
output (SSOE = 1).

12.3 Modes of Operation
12.3.1 SPI in Stop Modes
The SPI is disabled in all stop modes, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP instruction.
During either stop1 or stop2 mode, the SPI module will be fully powered down. Upon wake-up from stop1
or stop2 mode, the SPI module will be in the reset state. During stop3 mode, clocks to the SPI module are
halted. No registers are affected. If stop3 is exited with a reset, the SPI will be put into its reset state. If
stop3 is exited with an interrupt, the SPI continues from the state it was in when stop3 was entered.
12.4 Register Definition
The SPI has five 8-bit registers to select SPI options, control baud rate, report SPI status, and for
transmit/receive data.
Refer to the direct-page register summary in the Memory chapter of this data sheet for the absolute address
assignments for all SPI registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names, and
a Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute
addresses.

MODFEN
Master Mode-Fault Function Enable — When the SPI is configured for slave mode, this bit has no meaning or

BIDIROE
Bidirectional Mode Output Enable — When bidirectional mode is enabled by SPI pin control 0 (SPC0) = 1,
BIDIROE determines whether the SPI data output driver is enabled to the single bidirectional SPI I/O pin.
Depending on whether the SPI is configured as a master or a slave, it uses either the MOSI (MOMI) or MISO
(SISO) pin, respectively, as the single SPI data I/O pin. When SPC0 = 0, BIDIROE has no meaning or effect.

12.4.5 SPI Data Register (SPID)
Reads of this register return the data read from the receive data buffer. Writes to this register write data to
the transmit data buffer. When the SPI is configured as a master, writing data to the transmit data buffer
initiates an SPI transfer.
Data should not be written to the transmit data buffer unless the SPI transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF)
is set, indicating there is room in the transmit buffer to queue a new transmit byte.
Data may be read from SPID any time after SPRF is set and before another transfer is finished. Failure to
read the data out of the receive data buffer before a new transfer ends causes a receive overrun condition
and the data from the new transfer is lost.

Field Description

SPRF
SPI Read Buffer Full Flag — SPRF is set at the completion of an SPI transfer to indicate that received data may
be read from the SPI data register (SPID). SPRF is cleared by reading SPRF while it is set, then reading the SPI
data register.
0 No data available in the receive data buffer
1 Data available in the receive data buffer
5
SPTEF
SPI Transmit Buffer Empty Flag — This bit is set when there is room in the transmit data buffer. It is cleared by
reading SPIS with SPTEF set, followed by writing a data value to the transmit buffer at SPID. SPIS must be read
with SPTEF = 1 before writing data to SPID or the SPID write will be ignored. SPTEF generates an SPTEF CPU
interrupt request if the SPTIE bit in the SPIC1 is also set. SPTEF is automatically set when a data byte transfers
from the transmit buffer into the transmit shift register. For an idle SPI (no data in the transmit buffer or the shift
register and no transfer in progress), data written to SPID is transferred to the shifter almost immediately so
SPTEF is set within two bus cycles allowing a second 8-bit data value to be queued into the transmit buffer. After
completion of the transfer of the value in the shift register, the queued value from the transmit buffer will
automatically move to the shifter and SPTEF will be set to indicate there is room for new data in the transmit
buffer. If no new data is waiting in the transmit buffer, SPTEF simply remains set and no data moves from the
buffer to the shifter.
0 SPI transmit buffer not empty
1 SPI transmit buffer empty

MODF
Master Mode Fault Flag — MODF is set if the SPI is configured as a master and the slave select input goes
low, indicating some other SPI device is also configured as a master. The SS pin acts as a mode fault error input
only when MSTR = 1, MODFEN = 1, and SSOE = 0; otherwise, MODF will never be set. MODF is cleared by
reading MODF while it is 1, then writing to SPI control register 1 (SPIC1).

12.5 Functional Description
An SPI transfer is initiated by checking for the SPI transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF = 1) and then
writing a byte of data to the SPI data register (SPID) in the master SPI device. When the SPI shift register
is available, this byte of data is moved from the transmit data buffer to the shifter, SPTEF is set to indicate
there is room in the buffer to queue another transmit character if desired, and the SPI serial transfer starts.
During the SPI transfer, data is sampled (read) on the MISO pin at one SPSCK edge and shifted, changing
the bit value on the MOSI pin, one-half SPSCK cycle later. After eight SPSCK cycles, the data that was in
the shift register of the master has been shifted out the MOSI pin to the slave while eight bits of data were
shifted in the MISO pin into the master’s shift register. At the end of this transfer, the received data byte is
moved from the shifter into the receive data buffer and SPRF is set to indicate the data can be read by
reading SPID. If another byte of data is waiting in the transmit buffer at the end of a transfer, it is moved
into the shifter, SPTEF is set, and a new transfer is started.
Normally, SPI data is transferred most significant bit (MSB) first. If the least significant bit first enable
(LSBFE) bit is set, SPI data is shifted LSB first.
When the SPI is configured as a slave, its SS pin must be driven low before a transfer starts and SS must
stay low throughout the transfer. If a clock format where CPHA = 0 is selected, SS must be driven to a
logic 1 between successive transfers. If CPHA = 1, SS may remain low between successive transfers. See
Section 12.5.1, “SPI Clock Formats” for more details.
Because the transmitter and receiver are double buffered, a second byte, in addition to the byte currently
being shifted out, can be queued into the transmit data buffer, and a previously received character can be
in the receive data buffer while a new character is being shifted in. The SPTEF flag indicates when the
transmit buffer has room for a new character. The SPRF flag indicates when a received character is
available in the receive data buffer. The received character must be read out of the receive buffer (read
SPID) before the next transfer is finished or a receive overrun error results.
In the case of a receive overrun, the new data is lost because the receive buffer still held the previous
character and was not ready to accept the new data. There is no indication for such an overrun condition
so the application system designer must ensure that previous data has been read from the receive buffer
before a new transfer is initiated.
12.5.1 SPI Clock Formats
To accommodate a wide variety of synchronous serial peripherals from different manufacturers, the SPI
system has a clock polarity (CPOL) bit and a clock phase (CPHA) control bit to select one of four clock
formats for data transfers. CPOL selectively inserts an inverter in series with the clock. CPHA chooses
between two different clock phase relationships between the clock and data.
Figure 12-11 shows the clock formats when CPHA = 1. At the top of the figure, the eight bit times are
shown for reference with bit 1 starting at the first SPSCK edge and bit 8 ending one-half SPSCK cycle after
the sixteenth SPSCK edge. The MSB first and LSB first lines show the order of SPI data bits depending
on the setting in LSBFE. Both variations of SPSCK polarity are shown, but only one of these waveforms
applies for a specific transfer, depending on the value in CPOL. The SAMPLE IN waveform applies to the
MOSI input of a slave or the MISO input of a master. The MOSI waveform applies to the MOSI output
Serial Peripheral Interface (S08SPIV3)

Freescale Semiconductor 199
pin from a master and the MISO waveform applies to the MISO output from a slave. The SS OUT
waveform applies to the slave select output from a master (provided MODFEN and SSOE = 1). The master
SS output goes to active low one-half SPSCK cycle before the start of the transfer and goes back high at
the end of the eighth bit time of the transfer. The SS IN waveform applies to the slave select input of a
slave.
Figure 12-11. SPI Clock Formats (CPHA = 1)
When CPHA = 1, the slave begins to drive its MISO output when SS goes to active low, but the data is not
defined until the first SPSCK edge. The first SPSCK edge shifts the first bit of data from the shifter onto
the MOSI output of the master and the MISO output of the slave. The next SPSCK edge causes both the
master and the slave to sample the data bit values on their MISO and MOSI inputs, respectively. At the
third SPSCK edge, the SPI shifter shifts one bit position which shifts in the bit value that was just sampled,
and shifts the second data bit value out the other end of the shifter to the MOSI and MISO outputs of the
master and slave, respectively. When CHPA = 1, the slave’s SS input is not required to go to its inactive
high level between transfers.
Figure 12-12 shows the clock formats when CPHA = 0. At the top of the figure, the eight bit times are
shown for reference with bit 1 starting as the slave is selected (SS IN goes low), and bit 8 ends at the last
SPSCK edge. The MSB first and LSB first lines show the order of SPI data bits depending on the setting

edge, the SPI shifter shifts one bit position which shifts in the bit value that was just sampled and shifts the
second data bit value out the other end of the shifter to the MOSI and MISO outputs of the master and
slave, respectively. When CPHA = 0, the slave’s SS input must go to its inactive high level between
transfers.

12.5.2 SPI Interrupts
There are three flag bits, two interrupt mask bits, and one interrupt vector associated with the SPI system.
The SPI interrupt enable mask (SPIE) enables interrupts from the SPI receiver full flag (SPRF) and mode
fault flag (MODF). The SPI transmit interrupt enable mask (SPTIE) enables interrupts from the SPI
transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF). When one of the flag bits is set, and the associated interrupt mask bit
is set, a hardware interrupt request is sent to the CPU. If the interrupt mask bits are cleared, software can
poll the associated flag bits instead of using interrupts. The SPI interrupt service routine (ISR) should
check the flag bits to determine what event caused the interrupt. The service routine should also clear the
flag bit(s) before returning from the ISR (usually near the beginning of the ISR).
12.5.3 Mode Fault Detection
A mode fault occurs and the mode fault flag (MODF) becomes set when a master SPI device detects an
error on the SS pin (provided the SS pin is configured as the mode fault input signal). The SS pin is
configured to be the mode fault input signal when MSTR = 1, mode fault enable is set (MODFEN = 1),
and slave select output enable is clear (SSOE = 0).
The mode fault detection feature can be used in a system where more than one SPI device might become
a master at the same time. The error is detected when a master’s SS pin is low, indicating that some other
SPI device is trying to address this master as if it were a slave. This could indicate a harmful output driver
conflict, so the mode fault logic is designed to disable all SPI output drivers when such an error is detected.
When a mode fault is detected, MODF is set and MSTR is cleared to change the SPI configuration back
to slave mode. The output drivers on the SPSCK, MOSI, and MISO (if not bidirectional mode) are
disabled.
MODF is cleared by reading it while it is set, then writing to the SPI control register 1 (SPIC1). User
software should verify the error condition has been corrected before changing the SPI back to master
mode.
12.6 Initialization/Application Information
12.6.1 SPI Module Initialization Example
12.6.1.1 Initialization Sequence
Before the SPI module can be used for communication, an initialization procedure must be carried out, as
follows:
1. Update control register 1 (SPIC1) to enable the SPI and to control interrupt enables. This register
also sets the SPI as master or slave, determines clock phase and polarity, and configures the main
SPI options.
2. Update control register 2 (SPIC2) to enable additional SPI functions such as the master mode-fault
function and bidirectional mode output. Other optional SPI functions are configured here as well.
3. Update the baud rate register (SPIBR) to set the prescaler and bit rate divisor for an SPI master.

The MC9S08GT16A/GT8A series of microcontrollers provides one inter-integrated circuit (IIC) module
for communication with other integrated circuits. The two pins associated with this module, SDA and SCL
share port C pins 2 and 3, respectively. All functionality as described in this section is available on
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A. When the IIC is enabled, the direction of pins is controlled by module
configuration. If the IIC is disabled, both pins can be used as general-purpose I/O.

ICR
IIC Clock Rate — The ICR bits are used to prescale the bus clock for bit rate selection. These bits are used to
define the SCL divider and the SDA hold value. The SCL divider multiplied by the value provided by the MULT
register (multiplier factor mul) is used to generate IIC baud rate.
IIC baud rate = bus speed (Hz)/(mul * SCL divider)
SDA hold time is the delay from the falling edge of the SCL (IIC clock) to the changing of SDA (IIC data). The
ICR is used to determine the SDA hold value.
SDA hold time = bus period (s) * SDA hold value
Table 13-3 provides the SCL divider and SDA hold values for corresponding values of the ICR. These values can
be used to set IIC baud rate and SDA hold time. For example:
Bus speed = 8 MHz
MULT is set to 01 (mul = 2)
Desired IIC baud rate = 100 kbps
IIC baud rate = bus speed (Hz)/(mul * SCL divider)
100000 = 8000000/(2*SCL divider)
SCL divider = 40
Table 13-3 shows that ICR must be set to 0B to provide an SCL divider of 40 and that this will result in an SDA
hold value of 9.
SDA hold time = bus period (s) * SDA hold value * mul
SDA hold time = 1/8000000 * 9 * mul = 1.125 µs * mul
If the generated SDA hold value is not acceptable, the MULT bits can be used to change the ICR. This will result
in a different SDA hold value.

13.3.5 IIC Data I/O Register (IICD)
NOTE
When transmitting out of master receive mode, the IIC mode should be
switched before reading the IICD register to prevent an inadvertent
initiation of a master receive data transfer.
In slave mode, the same functions are available after an address match has occurred.
Note that the TX bit in IICC must correctly reflect the desired direction of transfer in master and slave
modes for the transmission to begin. For instance, if the IIC is configured for master transmit but a master
receive is desired, then reading the IICD will not initiate the receive.
Reading the IICD will return the last byte received while the IIC is configured in either master receive or
slave receive modes. The IICD does not reflect every byte that is transmitted on the IIC bus, nor can
software verify that a byte has been written to the IICD correctly by reading it back.
In master transmit mode, the first byte of data written to IICD following assertion of MST is used for the
address transfer and should comprise of the calling address (in bit 7–bit 1) concatenated with the required
R/W bit (in position bit 0).

13.4 Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the IIC module.
13.4.1 IIC Protocol
The IIC bus system uses a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) for data transfer. All devices
connected to it must have open drain or open collector outputs. A logic AND function is exercised on both
lines with external pull-up resistors. The value of these resistors is system dependent.
Normally, a standard communication is composed of four parts:
• START signal
• Slave address transmission
• Data transfer
• STOP signal
The STOP signal should not be confused with the CPU STOP instruction. The IIC bus system
communication is described briefly in the following sections and illustrated in Figure 13-8.

13.4.1.1 START Signal
When the bus is free; i.e., no master device is engaging the bus (both SCL and SDA lines are at logical
high), a master may initiate communication by sending a START signal. As shown in Figure 13-8, a
START signal is defined as a high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high. This signal denotes the
beginning of a new data transfer (each data transfer may contain several bytes of data) and brings all slaves
out of their idle states.
13.4.1.2 Slave Address Transmission
The first byte of data transferred immediately after the START signal is the slave address transmitted by
the master. This is a seven-bit calling address followed by a R/W bit. The R/W bit tells the slave the desired
direction of data transfer.
1 = Read transfer, the slave transmits data to the master.
0 = Write transfer, the master transmits data to the slave.
Only the slave with a calling address that matches the one transmitted by the master will respond by
sending back an acknowledge bit. This is done by pulling the SDA low at the 9th clock (see Figure 13-8).
No two slaves in the system may have the same address. If the IIC module is the master, it must not transmit
an address that is equal to its own slave address. The IIC cannot be master and slave at the same time.
However, if arbitration is lost during an address cycle, the IIC will revert to slave mode and operate
correctly even if it is being addressed by another master.
13.4.1.3 Data Transfer
Before successful slave addressing is achieved, the data transfer can proceed byte-by-byte in a direction
specified by the R/W bit sent by the calling master.
All transfers that come after an address cycle are referred to as data transfers, even if they carry sub-address
information for the slave device
Each data byte is 8 bits long. Data may be changed only while SCL is low and must be held stable while
SCL is high as shown in Figure 13-8. There is one clock pulse on SCL for each data bit, the MSB being
transferred first. Each data byte is followed by a 9th (acknowledge) bit, which is signalled from the
receiving device. An acknowledge is signalled by pulling the SDA low at the ninth clock. In summary, one
complete data transfer needs nine clock pulses.
If the slave receiver does not acknowledge the master in the 9th bit time, the SDA line must be left high
by the slave. The master interprets the failed acknowledge as an unsuccessful data transfer.
If the master receiver does not acknowledge the slave transmitter after a data byte transmission, the slave
interprets this as an end of data transfer and releases the SDA line.
In either case, the data transfer is aborted and the master does one of two things:
• Relinquishes the bus by generating a STOP signal.
• Commences a new calling by generating a repeated START signal.
Inter-Integrated Circuit (S08IICV1)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 217
13.4.1.4 STOP Signal
The master can terminate the communication by generating a STOP signal to free the bus. However, the
master may generate a START signal followed by a calling command without generating a STOP signal
first. This is called repeated START. A STOP signal is defined as a low-to-high transition of SDA while
SCL at logical 1 (see Figure 13-8).
The master can generate a STOP even if the slave has generated an acknowledge at which point the slave
must release the bus.
13.4.1.5 Repeated START Signal
As shown in Figure 13-8, a repeated START signal is a START signal generated without first generating a
STOP signal to terminate the communication. This is used by the master to communicate with another
slave or with the same slave in different mode (transmit/receive mode) without releasing the bus.
13.4.1.6 Arbitration Procedure
The IIC bus is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two or
more masters try to control the bus at the same time, a clock synchronization procedure determines the bus
clock, for which the low period is equal to the longest clock low period and the high is equal to the shortest
one among the masters. The relative priority of the contending masters is determined by a data arbitration
procedure, a bus master loses arbitration if it transmits logic 1 while another master transmits logic 0. The
losing masters immediately switch over to slave receive mode and stop driving SDA output. In this case,
the transition from master to slave mode does not generate a STOP condition. Meanwhile, a status bit is
set by hardware to indicate loss of arbitration.
13.4.1.7 Clock Synchronization
Because wire-AND logic is performed on the SCL line, a high-to-low transition on the SCL line affects all
the devices connected on the bus. The devices start counting their low period and after a device’s clock has
gone low, it holds the SCL line low until the clock high state is reached. However, the change of low to
high in this device clock may not change the state of the SCL line if another device clock is still within its
low period. Therefore, synchronized clock SCL is held low by the device with the longest low period.
Devices with shorter low periods enter a high wait state during this time (see Figure 13-9). When all
devices concerned have counted off their low period, the synchronized clock SCL line is released and
pulled high. There is then no difference between the device clocks and the state of the SCL line and all the
devices start counting their high periods. The first device to complete its high period pulls the SCL line
low again.

218 Freescale Semiconductor
Figure 13-9. IIC Clock Synchronization
13.4.1.8 Handshaking
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used as a handshake in data transfer. Slave devices may hold
the SCL low after completion of one byte transfer (9 bits). In such case, it halts the bus clock and forces
the master clock into wait states until the slave releases the SCL line.
13.4.1.9 Clock Stretching
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used by slaves to slow down the bit rate of a transfer. After
the master has driven SCL low the slave can drive SCL low for the required period and then release it. If
the slave SCL low period is greater than the master SCL low period then the resulting SCL bus signal low
period is stretched.
13.5 Resets
The IIC is disabled after reset. The IIC cannot cause an MCU reset.
13.6 Interrupts
The IIC generates a single interrupt.
An interrupt from the IIC is generated when any of the events in Table 13-7 occur provided the IICIE bit
is set. The interrupt is driven by bit IICIF (of the IIC status register) and masked with bit IICIE (of the IIC
control register). The IICIF bit must be cleared by software by writing a one to it in the interrupt routine.
The user can determine the interrupt type by reading the status register.

13.6.1 Byte Transfer Interrupt
The TCF (transfer complete flag) bit is set at the falling edge of the 9th clock to indicate the completion of
byte transfer.
13.6.2 Address Detect Interrupt
When the calling address matches the programmed slave address (IIC address register), the IAAS bit in
the status register is set. The CPU is interrupted provided the IICIE is set. The CPU must check the SRW
bit and set its Tx mode accordingly.
13.6.3 Arbitration Lost Interrupt
The IIC is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two or more
masters try to control the bus at the same time, the relative priority of the contending masters is determined
by a data arbitration procedure. The IIC module asserts this interrupt when it loses the data arbitration
process and the ARBL bit in the status register is set.
Arbitration is lost in the following circumstances:
• SDA sampled as a low when the master drives a high during an address or data transmit cycle.
• SDA sampled as a low when the master drives a high during the acknowledge bit of a data receive
cycle.
• A START cycle is attempted when the bus is busy.
• A repeated START cycle is requested in slave mode.
• A STOP condition is detected when the master did not request it.
This bit must be cleared by software by writing a one to it.

14.1 Introduction
The ATD module is an analog-to-digital converter with a successive approximation register (SAR)
architecture with sample and hold.
14.1.1 Features
• 8-/10-bit resolution
• 14.0 µsec, 10-bit single conversion time at a conversion frequency of 2 MHz
• Left-/right-justified result data
• Left-justified signed data mode
• Conversion complete flag or conversion complete interrupt generation
• Analog input multiplexer for up to eight analog input channels
• Single or continuous conversion mode
14.1.2 Modes of Operation
The ATD has two modes for low power
• Stop mode
• Power-down mode
14.1.2.1 Stop Mode
When the MCU goes into stop mode, the MCU stops the clocks and the ATD analog circuitry is turned off,
placing the module into a low-power state. Once in stop mode, the ATD module aborts any single or
continuous conversion in progress. Upon exiting stop mode, no conversions occur and the registers have
their previous values. As long as the ATDPU bit is set prior to entering stop mode, the module is reactivated
coming out of stop.
14.1.2.2 Power Down Mode
Clearing the ATDPU bit in register ATDC also places the ATD module in a low-power state. The ATD
conversion clock is disabled and the analog circuitry is turned off, placing the module in power-down
mode. (This mode does not remove power to the ATD module.) Once in power-down mode, the ATD
module aborts any conversion in progress. Upon setting the ATDPU bit, the module is reactivated. During
power-down mode, the ATD registers are still accessible.
Note that the reset state of the ATDPU bit is zero. Therefore, the module is reset into the power-down state.
14.1.3 Block Diagram
Figure 14-2 illustrates the functional structure of the ATD module.

14.2.1 ADP7–ADP0 — Channel Input Pins
The channel pins are used as the analog input pins of the ATD. Each pin is connected to an analog switch
which serves as the signal gate into the sample submodule.
14.2.2 VREFH, VREFL — ATD Reference Pins
These pins serve as the source for the high and low reference potentials for the converter. Separation from
the power supply pins accommodates the filtering necessary to achieve the accuracy of which the system
is capable.
14.2.3 VDDAD, VSSAD — ATD Supply Pins
These two pins are used to supply power and ground to the analog section of the ATD. Dedicated power
is required to isolate the sensitive analog circuitry from the normal levels of noise present on digital power
supplies.
NOTE
VDDAD1 and VDD must be at the same potential. Likewise, VSSAD1 and VSS
must be at the same potential.
14.3 Register Definition
The ATD has seven registers that control ATD functions.
Refer to the direct-page register summary in the memory chapter of this data sheet for the absolute address
assignments for all ATD registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A
Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute
addresses.
14.3.1 ATD Control (ATDC)
Writes to the ATD control register will abort the current conversion, but will not start a new conversion.

ATD Power Up — This bit provides program on/off control over the ATD, reducing power consumption when the
ATD is not being used. When cleared, the ATDPU bit aborts any conversion in progress.

DJM
Data Justification Mode — This bit determines how the 10-bit conversion result data maps onto the ATD result
register bits. When RES8 is set, bit DJM has no effect and the 8-bit result is always located in ATDRH.
For left-justified mode, result data bits 9–2 map onto bits 7–0 of ATDRH, result data bits 1 and 0 map onto ATDRL
bits 7 and 6, where bit 7 of ATDRH is the most significant bit (MSB).
For right-justified mode, result data bits 9 and 8 map onto bits 1 and 0 of ATDRH, result data bits 7–0 map onto
ATDRL bits 7–0, where bit 1 of ATDRH is the most significant bit (MSB).
The effect of the DJM bit on the result is shown in Table 14-3.
0 Result register data is left justified. See Figure 14-4.

RES8
ATD Resolution Select — This bit determines the resolution of the ATD converter, 8-bits or 10-bits. The ATD
converter has the accuracy of a 10-bit converter. However, if 8-bit compatibility is required, selecting 8-bit
resolution will map result data bits 9-2 onto ATDRH bits 7-0.
The effect of the RES8 bit on the result is shown in Table 14-3.
0 10-bit resolution selected.
1 8-bit resolution selected.

SGN
Signed Result Select — This bit determines whether the result will be signed or unsigned data. Signed data is
represented as 2’s complement data and is achieved by complementing the MSB of the result. Signed data mode
can be used only when the result is left justified (DJM = 0) and is not available for right-justified mode (DJM = 1).
When a signed result is selected, the range for conversions becomes –512 ($200) to 511 ($1FF) for 10-bit
resolution and –128 ($80) to 127 ($7F) for 8-bit resolution.
The effect of the SGN bit on the result is shown in Table 14-3.

14.4 Functional Description
The ATD uses a successive approximation register (SAR) architecture. The ATD contains all the necessary
elements to perform a single analog-to-digital conversion.
A write to the ATDSC register initiates a new conversion. A write to the ATDC register will interrupt the
current conversion but it will not initiate a new conversion. A write to the ATDPE register will also abort
the current conversion but will not initiate a new conversion. If a conversion is already running when a
write to the ATDSC register is made, it will be aborted and a new one will be started.
14.4.1 Mode Control
The ATD has a mode control unit to communicate with the sample and hold (S/H) machine and the SAR
machine when necessary to collect samples and perform conversions. The mode control unit signals the
S/H machine to begin collecting a sample and for the SAR machine to begin receiving a sample. At the
end of the sample period, the S/H machine signals the SAR machine to begin the analog-to-digital
conversion process. The conversion process is terminated when the SAR machine signals the end of
conversion to the mode control unit. For VREFL and VREFH, the SAR machine uses the reference potentials
to set the sampled signal level within itself without relying on the S/H machine to deliver them.
The mode control unit organizes the conversion, specifies the input sample channel, and moves the digital
output data from the SAR register to the result register. The result register consists of a dual-port register.
The SAR register writes data into the register through one port while the module data bus reads data out
of the register through the other port.
14.4.2 Sample and Hold
The S/H machine accepts analog signals and stores them as capacitor charge on a storage node located in
the SAR machine. Only one sample can be held at a time so the S/H machine and the SAR machine can
not run concurrently even though they are independent machines. Figure 14-10 shows the placement of the
various resistors and capacitors.

When the S/H machine is not sampling, it disables its own internal clocks.The input analog signals are
unipolar. The signals must fall within the potential range of VSSAD to VDDAD. The S/H machine is not
required to perform special conversions (i.e., convert VREFL and VREFH).
Proper sampling is dependent on the following factors:
• Analog source impedance (the real portion, RAS – see the electricals characteristics at the end of
this data sheet) — This is the resistive (or real, in the case of high frequencies) portion of the
network driving the analog input voltage VAIN.
• Analog source capacitance (CAS) — This is the filtering capacitance on the analog input, which (if
large enough) may help the analog source network charge the ATD input in the case of high RAS.
• ATD input resistance (RAIN – maximum value 7 kΩ) — This is the internal resistance of the ATD
circuit in the path between the external ATD input and the ATD sample and hold circuit. This
resistance varies with temperature, voltage, and process variation but a worst case number is
necessary to compute worst case sample error.
• ATD input capacitance (CAIN – maximum value 25 pF) — This is the internal capacitance of the
ATD sample and hold circuit. This capacitance varies with temperature, voltage, and process
variation but a worst case number is necessary to compute worst case sample error.
• ATD conversion clock frequency (fATDCLK – maximum value 2 MHz) — This is the frequency of
the clock input to the ATD and is dependent on the bus clock frequency and the ATD prescaler.
This frequency determines the width of the sample window, which is 14 ATDCLK cycles.
• Input sample frequency (fSAMP – see the electrical characteristics at the end of this data sheet) —
This is the frequency that a given input is sampled.
• Delta-input sample voltage (∆VSAMP) — This is the difference between the current input voltage
(intended for conversion) and the previously sampled voltage (which may be from a different
channel). In non-continuous convert mode, this is assumed to be the greater of (VREFH –V
AIN) and
(VAIN – VREFL). In continuous convert mode, 5 LSB should be added to the known difference to
account for leakage and other losses.
• Delta-analog input voltage (∆VAIN) — This is the difference between the current input voltage and
the input voltage during the last conversion on a given channel. This is based on the slew rate of
the input.
In cases where there is no external filtering capacitance, the sampling error is determined by the number
of time constants of charging and the change in input voltage relative to the resolution of the ATD:
# of time constants (τ) = (14 / fATDCLK) / ((RAS + RAIN) * CAIN)Eqn. 14-1
sampling error in LSB (ES) = 2N * (∆VSAMP / (VREFH - VREFL)) * e−τ
The maximum sampling error (assuming maximum change on the input voltage) will be:
ES = (3.6/3.6) * e–(14/((7 k + 10 k) * 50 p * 2 M)) * 1024 = 0.271 LSB Eqn. 14-2
In the case where an external filtering capacitance is applied, the sampling error can be reduced based on
the size of the source capacitor (CAS) relative to the analog input capacitance (CAIN). Ignoring the analog
source impedance (RAS), CAS will charge CAIN to a value of:
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ATDV3)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
232 Freescale Semiconductor
ES = 2N * (∆VSAMP / (VREFH – VREFL)) * (CAIN / (CAIN + CAS)) Eqn. 14-3
In the case of a 0.1 µF CAS, a worst case sampling error of 0.5 LSB is achieved regardless of RAS.
However, in the case of repeated conversions at a rate of fSAMP
,R
AS must re-charge CAS. This recharge is
continuous and controlled only by RAS (not RAIN), and reduces the overall sampling error to:
ES = 2N * {(∆VAIN / (VREFH – VREFL)) * e−(1 / (fSAMP * RAS * CAS )
+ (∆VSAMP / (VREFH - VREFL)) * Min[(CAIN / (CAIN + CAS)), e−(1 / (fATDCLK * (RAS + RAIN) * CAIN )]} Eqn. 14-4
This is a worst case sampling error which does not account for RAS recharging the combination of CAS
and CAIN during the sample window. It does illustrate that high values of RAS (>10 kΩ) are possible if a
large CAS is used and sufficient time to recharge CAS is provided between samples. In order to achieve
accuracy specified under the worst case conditions of maximum ∆VSAMP and minimum CAS, RAS must
be less than the maximum value of 10 kΩ. The maximum value of 10 kΩfor RAS is to ensure low sampling
error in the worst case condition of maximum ∆VSAMP and minimum CAS.
14.4.3 Analog Input Multiplexer
The analog input multiplexer selects one of the eight external analog input channels to generate an analog
sample. The analog input multiplexer includes negative stress protection circuitry which prevents
cross-talk between channels when the applied input potentials are within specification. Only analog input
signals within the potential range of VREFL to VREFH (ATD reference potentials) will result in valid ATD
conversions.
14.4.4 ATD Module Accuracy Definitions
Figure 14-11 illustrates an ideal ATD transfer function. The horizontal axis represents the ATD input
voltage in millivolts. The vertical axis the conversion result code. The ATD is specified with the following
figures of merit:
• Number of bits (N) — The number of bits in the digitized output
• Resolution (LSB) — The resolution of the ATD is the step size of the ideal transfer function. This
is also referred to as the ideal code width, or the difference between the transition voltages to a
given code and to the next code. This unit, known as 1LSB, is equal to
1LSB = (VREFH – VREFL) / 2NEqn. 14-5
• Inherent quantization error (EQ) — This is the error caused by the division of the perfect ideal
straight-line transfer function into the quantized ideal transfer function with 2Nsteps. This error is
±1/2 LSB.
• Differential non-linearity (DNL) — This is the difference between the current code width and the
ideal code width (1LSB). The current code width is the difference in the transition voltages to the
current code and to the next code. A negative DNL means the transfer function spends less time at
the current code than ideal; a positive DNL, more. The DNL cannot be less than –1.0; a DNL of
greater than 1.0 reduces the effective number of bits by 1.
• Integral non-linearity (INL) — This is the difference between the transition voltage to the current
code and the transition to the corresponding code on the adjusted transfer curve. INL is a measure
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ATDV3)
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 233
of how straight the line is (how far it deviates from a straight line). The adjusted ideal transition
voltage is:
Eqn. 14-6
• Zero scale error (EZS) — This is the difference between the transition voltage to the first valid code
and the ideal transition to that code. Normally, it is defined as the difference between the actual and
ideal transition to code $001, but in some cases the first transition may be to a higher code. The
ideal transition to any code is:
Eqn. 14-7
• Full scale error (EFS) — This is the difference between the transition voltage to the last valid code
and the ideal transition to that code. Normally, it is defined as the difference between the actual and
ideal transition to code $3FF, but in some cases the last transition may be to a lower code. The ideal
transition to any code is:
Eqn. 14-8
• Total unadjusted error (ETU) — This is the difference between the transition voltage to a given code
and the ideal straight-line transfer function. An alternate definition (with the same result) is the
difference between the actual transfer function and the ideal straight-line transfer function. This
measure of error includes inherent quantization error and all forms of circuit error (INL, DNL,
zero-scale, and full-scale) except input leakage error, which is not due to the ATD.
• Input leakage error (EIL) — This is the error between the transition voltage to the current code and
the ideal transition to that code that is the result of input leakage across the real portion of the
impedance of the network that drives the analog input. This error is a system-observable error
which is not inherent to the ATD, so it is not added to total error. This error is:
EIL (in V) = input leakage * RAS Eqn. 14-9
There are two other forms of error which are not specified which can also affect ATD accuracy. These are:
• Sampling error (ES) — The error due to inadequate time to charge the ATD circuitry
• Noise error (EN) — The error due to noise on VAIN,V
REFH,orV
REFL due to either direct coupling
(noise source capacitively coupled directly on the signal) or power supply (VDDAD,V
SSAD,V
DD,
and VSS) noise interfering with the ATD’s ability to resolve the input accurately. The error due to
internal sources can be reduced (and specified operation achieved) by operating the ATD
conversion in wait mode and ceasing all IO activity. Reducing the error due to external sources is
dependent on system activity and board layout.

14.5 Resets
The ATD module is reset on system reset. If the system reset signal is activated, the ATD registers are
initialized back to their reset state and the ATD module is powered down. This occurs as a function of the
register file initialization; the reset definition of the ATDPU bit (power down bit) is zero or disabled.
The MCU places the module back into an initialized state. If the module is performing a conversion, the
current conversion is terminated, the conversion complete flag is cleared, and the SAR register bits are
cleared. Any pending interrupts are also cancelled. Note that the control, test, and status registers are
initialized on reset; the initialized register state is defined in the register description section of this
specification.
Enabling the module (using the ATDPU bit) does not cause the module to reset since the register file is not
initialized. Finally, writing to control register ATDC does not cause the module to reset; the current
conversion will be terminated.
14.6 Interrupts
The ATD module originates interrupt requests and the MCU handles or services these requests. Details on
how the ATD interrupt requests are handled can be found in the resets and interrupts chapter of this data
sheet.
The ATD interrupt function is enabled by setting the ATDIE bit in the ATDSC register. When the ATDIE
bit is set, an interrupt is generated at the end of an ATD conversion and the ATD result registers (ATDRH
and ATDRL) contain the result data generated by the conversion. If the interrupt function is disabled
(ATDIE = 0), then the CCF flag must be polled to determine when a conversion is complete.
The interrupt will remain pending as long as the CCF flag is set. The CCF bit is cleared whenever the ATD
status and control (ATDSC) register is written. The CCF bit is also cleared whenever the ATD result
registers (ATDRH or ATDRL) are read.

Development Support
15.1 Introduction
Development support systems in the HCS08 include the background debug controller (BDC) and the
on-chip debug module (DBG). The BDC provides a single-wire debug interface to the target MCU that
provides a convenient interface for programming the on-chip FLASH and other nonvolatile memories. The
BDC is also the primary debug interface for development and allows non-intrusive access to memory data
and traditional debug features such as CPU register modify, breakpoints, and single instruction trace
commands.
In the HCS08 Family, address and data bus signals are not available on external pins (not even in test
modes). Debug is done through commands fed into the target MCU via the single-wire background debug
interface. The debug module provides a means to selectively trigger and capture bus information so an
external development system can reconstruct what happened inside the MCU on a cycle-by-cycle basis

15.2 Background Debug Controller (BDC)
All MCUs in the HCS08 Family contain a single-wire background debug interface that supports in-circuit
programming of on-chip nonvolatile memory and sophisticated non-intrusive debug capabilities. Unlike
debug interfaces on earlier 8-bit MCUs, this system does not interfere with normal application resources.
It does not use any user memory or locations in the memory map and does not share any on-chip
peripherals.
BDC commands are divided into two groups:
• Active background mode commands require that the target MCU is in active background mode (the
user program is not running). Active background mode commands allow the CPU registers to be
read or written, and allow the user to trace one user instruction at a time, or GO to the user program
from active background mode.
Development Support
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 239
• Non-intrusive commands can be executed at any time even while the user’s program is running.
Non-intrusive commands allow a user to read or write MCU memory locations or access status and
control registers within the background debug controller.
Typically, a relatively simple interface pod is used to translate commands from a host computer into
commands for the custom serial interface to the single-wire background debug system. Depending on the
development tool vendor, this interface pod may use a standard RS-232 serial port, a parallel printer port,
or some other type of communications such as a universal serial bus (USB) to communicate between the
host PC and the pod. The pod typically connects to the target system with ground, the BKGD pin, RESET,
and sometimes VDD. An open-drain connection to reset allows the host to force a target system reset,
which is useful to regain control of a lost target system or to control startup of a target system before the
on-chip nonvolatile memory has been programmed. Sometimes VDD can be used to allow the pod to use
power from the target system to avoid the need for a separate power supply. However, if the pod is powered
separately, it can be connected to a running target system without forcing a target system reset or otherwise
disturbing the running application program.

15.2.1 BKGD Pin Description
BKGD is the single-wire background debug interface pin. The primary function of this pin is for
bidirectional serial communication of active background mode commands and data. During reset, this pin
is used to select between starting in active background mode or starting the user’s application program.
This pin is also used to request a timed sync response pulse to allow a host development tool to determine
the correct clock frequency for background debug serial communications.
BDC serial communications use a custom serial protocol first introduced on the M68HC12 Family of
microcontrollers. This protocol assumes the host knows the communication clock rate that is determined
by the target BDC clock rate. All communication is initiated and controlled by the host that drives a
high-to-low edge to signal the beginning of each bit time. Commands and data are sent most significant bit
first (MSB first). For a detailed description of the communications protocol, refer to Section 15.2.2,
“Communication Details.”
If a host is attempting to communicate with a target MCU that has an unknown BDC clock rate, a SYNC
command may be sent to the target MCU to request a timed sync response signal from which the host can
determine the correct communication speed.
BKGD is a pseudo-open-drain pin and there is an on-chip pullup so no external pullup resistor is required.
Unlike typical open-drain pins, the external RC time constant on this pin, which is influenced by external
capacitance, plays almost no role in signal rise time. The custom protocol provides for brief, actively
driven speedup pulses to force rapid rise times on this pin without risking harmful drive level conflicts.
Refer to Section 15.2.2, “Communication Details,” for more detail.

When no debugger pod is connected to the 6-pin BDM interface connector, the internal pullup on BKGD
chooses normal operating mode. When a development system is connected, it can pull both BKGD and
RESET low, release RESET to select active background mode rather than normal operating mode, then
release BKGD. It is not necessary to reset the target MCU to communicate with it through the background
debug interface.
15.2.2 Communication Details
The BDC serial interface requires the external controller to generate a falling edge on the BKGD pin to
indicate the start of each bit time. The external controller provides this falling edge whether data is
transmitted or received.
BKGD is a pseudo-open-drain pin that can be driven either by an external controller or by the MCU. Data
is transferred MSB first at 16 BDC clock cycles per bit (nominal speed). The interface times out if
512 BDC clock cycles occur between falling edges from the host. Any BDC command that was in progress
when this timeout occurs is aborted without affecting the memory or operating mode of the target MCU
system.
The custom serial protocol requires the debug pod to know the target BDC communication clock speed.
The clock switch (CLKSW) control bit in the BDC status and control register allows the user to select the
BDC clock source. The BDC clock source can either be the bus or the alternate BDC clock source.
The BKGD pin can receive a high or low level or transmit a high or low level. The following diagrams
show timing for each of these cases. Interface timing is synchronous to clocks in the target BDC, but
asynchronous to the external host. The internal BDC clock signal is shown for reference in counting cycles.

Figure 15-2 shows an external host transmitting a logic 1 or 0 to the BKGD pin of a target HCS08 MCU.
The host is asynchronous to the target so there is a 0-to-1 cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge
to where the target perceives the beginning of the bit time. Ten target BDC clock cycles later, the target
senses the bit level on the BKGD pin. Typically, the host actively drives the pseudo-open-drain BKGD pin
during host-to-target transmissions to speed up rising edges. Because the target does not drive the BKGD
pin during the host-to-target transmission period, there is no need to treat the line as an open-drain signal
during this period.

Figure 15-3 shows the host receiving a logic 1 from the target HCS08 MCU. Because the host is
asynchronous to the target MCU, there is a 0-to-1 cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge on
BKGD to the perceived start of the bit time in the target MCU. The host holds the BKGD pin low long
enough for the target to recognize it (at least two target BDC cycles). The host must release the low drive
before the target MCU drives a brief active-high speedup pulse seven cycles after the perceived start of the
bit time. The host should sample the bit level about 10 cycles after it started the bit time.

level about 10 cycles after starting the bit time.

15.2.3 BDC Commands
BDC commands are sent serially from a host computer to the BKGD pin of the target HCS08 MCU. All
commands and data are sent MSB-first using a custom BDC communications protocol. Active background
mode commands require that the target MCU is currently in the active background mode while
non-intrusive commands may be issued at any time whether the target MCU is in active background mode
or running a user application program.

The SYNC command is unlike other BDC commands because the host does not necessarily know the
correct communications speed to use for BDC communications until after it has analyzed the response to
the SYNC command.
To issue a SYNC command, the host:
• Drives the BKGD pin low for at least 128 cycles of the slowest possible BDC clock (The slowest
clock is normally the reference oscillator/64 or the self-clocked rate/64.)
• Drives BKGD high for a brief speedup pulse to get a fast rise time (This speedup pulse is typically
one cycle of the fastest clock in the system.)
• Removes all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance
• Monitors the BKGD pin for the sync response pulse
The target, upon detecting the SYNC request from the host (which is a much longer low time than would
ever occur during normal BDC communications):
• Waits for BKGD to return to a logic high
• Delays 16 cycles to allow the host to stop driving the high speedup pulse
• Drives BKGD low for 128 BDC clock cycles
• Drives a 1-cycle high speedup pulse to force a fast rise time on BKGD
• Removes all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance
The host measures the low time of this 128-cycle sync response pulse and determines the correct speed for
subsequent BDC communications. Typically, the host can determine the correct communication speed
within a few percent of the actual target speed and the communication protocol can easily tolerate speed
errors of several percent.
15.2.4 BDC Hardware Breakpoint
The BDC includes one relatively simple hardware breakpoint that compares the CPU address bus to a
16-bit match value in the BDCBKPT register. This breakpoint can generate a forced breakpoint or a tagged
breakpoint. A forced breakpoint causes the CPU to enter active background mode at the first instruction
boundary following any access to the breakpoint address. The tagged breakpoint causes the instruction
opcode at the breakpoint address to be tagged so that the CPU will enter active background mode rather
than executing that instruction if and when it reaches the end of the instruction queue. This implies that
tagged breakpoints can only be placed at the address of an instruction opcode while forced breakpoints can
be set at any address.
The breakpoint enable (BKPTEN) control bit in the BDC status and control register (BDCSCR) is used to
enable the breakpoint logic (BKPTEN = 1). When BKPTEN = 0, its default value after reset, the
breakpoint logic is disabled and no BDC breakpoints are requested regardless of the values in other BDC
breakpoint registers and control bits. The force/tag select (FTS) control bit in BDCSCR is used to select
forced (FTS = 1) or tagged (FTS = 0) type breakpoints.
The on-chip debug module (DBG) includes circuitry for two additional hardware breakpoints that are more
flexible than the simple breakpoint in the BDC module.

15.3 On-Chip Debug System (DBG)
Because HCS08 devices do not have external address and data buses, the most important functions of an
in-circuit emulator have been built onto the chip with the MCU. The debug system consists of an 8-stage
FIFO that can store address or data bus information, and a flexible trigger system to decide when to capture
bus information and what information to capture. The system relies on the single-wire background debug
system to access debug control registers and to read results out of the eight stage FIFO.
The debug module includes control and status registers that are accessible in the user’s memory map.
These registers are located in the high register space to avoid using valuable direct page memory space.
Most of the debug module’s functions are used during development, and user programs rarely access any
of the control and status registers for the debug module. The one exception is that the debug system can
provide the means to implement a form of ROM patching. This topic is discussed in greater detail in
Section 15.3.6, “Hardware Breakpoints.”
15.3.1 Comparators A and B
Two 16-bit comparators (A and B) can optionally be qualified with the R/W signal and an opcode tracking
circuit. Separate control bits allow you to ignore R/W for each comparator. The opcode tracking circuitry
optionally allows you to specify that a trigger will occur only if the opcode at the specified address is
actually executed as opposed to only being read from memory into the instruction queue. The comparators
are also capable of magnitude comparisons to support the inside range and outside range trigger modes.
Comparators are disabled temporarily during all BDC accesses.
The A comparator is always associated with the 16-bit CPU address. The B comparator compares to the
CPU address or the 8-bit CPU data bus, depending on the trigger mode selected. Because the CPU data
bus is separated into a read data bus and a write data bus, the RWAEN and RWA control bits have an
additional purpose, in full address plus data comparisons they are used to decide which of these buses to
use in the comparator B data bus comparisons. If RWAEN = 1 (enabled) and RWA = 0 (write), the CPU’s
write data bus is used. Otherwise, the CPU’s read data bus is used.
The currently selected trigger mode determines what the debugger logic does when a comparator detects
a qualified match condition. A match can cause:
• Generation of a breakpoint to the CPU
• Storage of data bus values into the FIFO
• Starting to store change-of-flow addresses into the FIFO (begin type trace)
• Stopping the storage of change-of-flow addresses into the FIFO (end type trace)
15.3.2 Bus Capture Information and FIFO Operation
The usual way to use the FIFO is to setup the trigger mode and other control options, then arm the
debugger. When the FIFO has filled or the debugger has stopped storing data into the FIFO, you would
read the information out of it in the order it was stored into the FIFO. Status bits indicate the number of
words of valid information that are in the FIFO as data is stored into it. If a trace run is manually halted by
writing 0 to ARM before the FIFO is full (CNT = 1:0:0:0), the information is shifted by one position and
Development Support
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
248 Freescale Semiconductor
the host must perform ((8 – CNT) – 1) dummy reads of the FIFO to advance it to the first significant entry
in the FIFO.
In most trigger modes, the information stored in the FIFO consists of 16-bit change-of-flow addresses. In
these cases, read DBGFH then DBGFL to get one coherent word of information out of the FIFO. Reading
DBGFL (the low-order byte of the FIFO data port) causes the FIFO to shift so the next word of information
is available at the FIFO data port. In the event-only trigger modes (see Section 15.3.5, “Trigger Modes”),
8-bit data information is stored into the FIFO. In these cases, the high-order half of the FIFO (DBGFH) is
not used and data is read out of the FIFO by simply reading DBGFL. Each time DBGFL is read, the FIFO
is shifted so the next data value is available through the FIFO data port at DBGFL.
In trigger modes where the FIFO is storing change-of-flow addresses, there is a delay between CPU
addresses and the input side of the FIFO. Because of this delay, if the trigger event itself is a change-of-flow
address or a change-of-flow address appears during the next two bus cycles after a trigger event starts the
FIFO, it will not be saved into the FIFO. In the case of an end-trace, if the trigger event is a change-of-flow,
it will be saved as the last change-of-flow entry for that debug run.
The FIFO can also be used to generate a profile of executed instruction addresses when the debugger is not
armed. When ARM = 0, reading DBGFL causes the address of the most-recently fetched opcode to be
saved in the FIFO. To use the profiling feature, a host debugger would read addresses out of the FIFO by
reading DBGFH then DBGFL at regular periodic intervals. The first eight values would be discarded
because they correspond to the eight DBGFL reads needed to initially fill the FIFO. Additional periodic
reads of DBGFH and DBGFL return delayed information about executed instructions so the host debugger
can develop a profile of executed instruction addresses.
15.3.3 Change-of-Flow Information
To minimize the amount of information stored in the FIFO, only information related to instructions that
cause a change to the normal sequential execution of instructions is stored. With knowledge of the source
and object code program stored in the target system, an external debugger system can reconstruct the path
of execution through many instructions from the change-of-flow information stored in the FIFO.
For conditional branch instructions where the branch is taken (branch condition was true), the source
address is stored (the address of the conditional branch opcode). Because BRA and BRN instructions are
not conditional, these events do not cause change-of-flow information to be stored in the FIFO.
Indirect JMP and JSR instructions use the current contents of the H:X index register pair to determine the
destination address, so the debug system stores the run-time destination address for any indirect JMP or
JSR. For interrupts, RTI, or RTS, the destination address is stored in the FIFO as change-of-flow
information.
15.3.4 Tag vs. Force Breakpoints and Triggers
Tagging is a term that refers to identifying an instruction opcode as it is fetched into the instruction queue,
but not taking any other action until and unless that instruction is actually executed by the CPU. This
distinction is important because any change-of-flow from a jump, branch, subroutine call, or interrupt
causes some instructions that have been fetched into the instruction queue to be thrown away without being
executed.
Development Support
MC9S08GT16A/GT8A Data Sheet, Rev. 1
Freescale Semiconductor 249
A force-type breakpoint waits for the current instruction to finish and then acts upon the breakpoint
request. The usual action in response to a breakpoint is to go to active background mode rather than
continuing to the next instruction in the user application program.
The tag vs. force terminology is used in two contexts within the debug module. The first context refers to
breakpoint requests from the debug module to the CPU. The second refers to match signals from the
comparators to the debugger control logic. When a tag-type break request is sent to the CPU, a signal is
entered into the instruction queue along with the opcode so that if/when this opcode ever executes, the CPU
will effectively replace the tagged opcode with a BGND opcode so the CPU goes to active background
mode rather than executing the tagged instruction. When the TRGSEL control bit in the DBGT register is
set to select tag-type operation, the output from comparator A or B is qualified by a block of logic in the
debug module that tracks opcodes and only produces a trigger to the debugger if the opcode at the compare
address is actually executed. There is separate opcode tracking logic for each comparator so more than one
compare event can be tracked through the instruction queue at a time.
15.3.5 Trigger Modes
The trigger mode controls the overall behavior of a debug run. The 4-bit TRG field in the DBGT register
selects one of nine trigger modes. When TRGSEL = 1 in the DBGT register, the output of the comparator
must propagate through an opcode tracking circuit before triggering FIFO actions. The BEGIN bit in
DBGT chooses whether the FIFO begins storing data when the qualified trigger is detected (begin trace),
or the FIFO stores data in a circular fashion from the time it is armed until the qualified trigger is detected
(end trigger).
A debug run is started by writing a 1 to the ARM bit in the DBGC register, which sets the ARMF flag and
clears the AF and BF flags and the CNT bits in DBGS. A begin-trace debug run ends when the FIFO gets
full. An end-trace run ends when the selected trigger event occurs. Any debug run can be stopped manually
by writing a 0 to ARM or DBGEN in DBGC.
In all trigger modes except event-only modes, the FIFO stores change-of-flow addresses. In event-only
trigger modes, the FIFO stores data in the low-order eight bits of the FIFO.
The BEGIN control bit is ignored in event-only trigger modes and all such debug runs are begin type
traces. When TRGSEL = 1 to select opcode fetch triggers, it is not necessary to use R/W in comparisons
because opcode tags would only apply to opcode fetches that are always read cycles. It would also be
unusual to specify TRGSEL = 1 while using a full mode trigger because the opcode value is normally
known at a particular address.
The following trigger mode descriptions only state the primary comparator conditions that lead to a trigger.
Either comparator can usually be further qualified with R/W by setting RWAEN (RWBEN) and the
corresponding RWA (RWB) value to be matched against R/W. The signal from the comparator with
optional R/W qualification is used to request a CPU breakpoint if BRKEN = 1 and TAG determines
whether the CPU request will be a tag request or a force request.

A Then B — Trigger when the address matches the value in comparator B but only after the address for
another cycle matched the value in comparator A. There can be any number of cycles after the A match
and before the B match.
A AND B Data (Full Mode) — This is called a full mode because address, data, and R/W (optionally)

comparator B is not used.
In full trigger modes it is not useful to specify a tag-type CPU breakpoint (BRKEN = TAG = 1), but if you
do, the comparator B data match is ignored for the purpose of issuing the tag request to the CPU and the
CPU breakpoint is issued when the comparator A address matches.
A AND NOT B Data (Full Mode) — Address must match comparator A, data must not match the low
half of comparator B, and R/W must match RWA if RWAEN = 1. All three conditions must be met within
the same bus cycle to cause a trigger.
In full trigger modes it is not useful to specify a tag-type CPU breakpoint (BRKEN = TAG = 1), but if you
do, the comparator B data match is ignored for the purpose of issuing the tag request to the CPU and the
CPU breakpoint is issued when the comparator A address matches.
Event-Only B (Store Data) — Trigger events occur each time the address matches the value in
comparator B. Trigger events cause the data to be captured into the FIFO. The debug run ends when the
FIFO becomes full.
A Then Event-Only B (Store Data) — After the address has matched the value in comparator A, a trigger
event occurs each time the address matches the value in comparator B. Trigger events cause the data to be
captured into the FIFO. The debug run ends when the FIFO becomes full.
Inside Range (A ≤Address ≤B) — A trigger occurs when the address is greater than or equal to the value
in comparator A and less than or equal to the value in comparator B at the same time.
Outside Range (Address < A or Address > B) — A trigger occurs when the address is either less than
the value in comparator A or greater than the value in comparator B.

15.3.6 Hardware Breakpoints
The BRKEN control bit in the DBGC register may be set to 1 to allow any of the trigger conditions
described in Section 15.3.5, “Trigger Modes,” to be used to generate a hardware breakpoint request to the
CPU. TAG in DBGC controls whether the breakpoint request will be treated as a tag-type breakpoint or a
force-type breakpoint. A tag breakpoint causes the current opcode to be marked as it enters the instruction
queue. If a tagged opcode reaches the end of the pipe, the CPU executes a BGND instruction to go to active
background mode rather than executing the tagged opcode. A force-type breakpoint causes the CPU to
finish the current instruction and then go to active background mode.
If the background mode has not been enabled (ENBDM = 1) by a serial WRITE_CONTROL command
through the BKGD pin, the CPU will execute an SWI instruction instead of going to active background
mode.
15.4 Register Definition
This section contains the descriptions of the BDC and DBG registers and control bits.
Refer to the high-page register summary in the device overview chapter of this data sheet for the absolute
address assignments for all DBG registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their
names. A Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate
absolute addresses.
15.4.1 BDC Registers and Control Bits
The BDC has two registers:
• The BDC status and control register (BDCSCR) is an 8-bit register containing control and status
bits for the background debug controller.
• The BDC breakpoint match register (BDCBKPT) holds a 16-bit breakpoint match address.
These registers are accessed with dedicated serial BDC commands and are not located in the memory
space of the target MCU (so they do not have addresses and cannot be accessed by user programs).
Some of the bits in the BDCSCR have write limitations; otherwise, these registers may be read or written
at any time. For example, the ENBDM control bit may not be written while the MCU is in active
background mode. (This prevents the ambiguous condition of the control bit forbidding active background
mode while the MCU is already in active background mode.) Also, the four status bits (BDMACT, WS,
WSF, and DVF) are read-only status indicators and can never be written by the WRITE_CONTROL serial
BDC command. The clock switch (CLKSW) control bit may be read or written at any time.

FTS
Force/Tag Select — When FTS = 1, a breakpoint is requested whenever the CPU address bus matches the
BDCBKPT match register. When FTS = 0, a match between the CPU address bus and the BDCBKPT register
causes the fetched opcode to be tagged. If this tagged opcode ever reaches the end of the instruction queue,
the CPU enters active background mode rather than executing the tagged opcode.
0 Tag opcode at breakpoint address and enter active background mode if CPU attempts to execute that
instruction
1 Breakpoint match forces active background mode at next instruction boundary (address need not be an
opcode)

15.4.1.2 BDC Breakpoint Match Register (BDCBKPT)
This 16-bit register holds the address for the hardware breakpoint in the BDC. The BKPTEN and FTS
control bits in BDCSCR are used to enable and configure the breakpoint logic. Dedicated serial BDC
commands (READ_BKPT and WRITE_BKPT) are used to read and write the BDCBKPT register but is
not accessible to user programs because it is not located in the normal memory map of the MCU.
Breakpoints are normally set while the target MCU is in active background mode before running the user
application program. For additional information about setup and use of the hardware breakpoint logic in
the BDC, refer to Section 15.2.4, “BDC Hardware Breakpoint.”
15.4.2 System Background Debug Force Reset Register (SBDFR)
This register contains a single write-only control bit. A serial background mode command such as
WRITE_BYTE must be used to write to SBDFR. Attempts to write this register from a user program are
ignored. Reads always return 0x00.
2
WS
Wait or Stop Status — When the target CPU is in wait or stop mode, most BDC commands cannot function.
However, the BACKGROUND command can be used to force the target CPU out of wait or stop and into active
background mode where all BDC commands work. Whenever the host forces the target MCU into active
background mode, the host should issue a READ_STATUS command to check that BDMACT = 1 before
attempting other BDC commands.
0 Target CPU is running user application code or in active background mode (was not in wait or stop mode when
background became active)
1 Target CPU is in wait or stop mode, or a BACKGROUND command was used to change from wait or stop to
active background mode
1
WSF
Wait or Stop Failure Status — This status bit is set if a memory access command failed due to the target CPU
executing a wait or stop instruction at or about the same time. The usual recovery strategy is to issue a
BACKGROUND command to get out of wait or stop mode into active background mode, repeat the command
that failed, then return to the user program. (Typically, the host would restore CPU registers and stack values and
re-execute the wait or stop instruction.)
0 Memory access did not conflict with a wait or stop instruction
1 Memory access command failed because the CPU entered wait or stop mode
0
DVF
Data Valid Failure Status — This status bit is not used in the MC9S08GT16A/GT8A because it does not have
any slow access memory.
0 Memory access did not conflict with a slow memory access
1 Memory access command failed because CPU was not finished with a slow memory access

15.4.3 DBG Registers and Control Bits
The debug module includes nine bytes of register space for three 16-bit registers and three 8-bit control
and status registers. These registers are located in the high register space of the normal memory map so
they are accessible to normal application programs. These registers are rarely if ever accessed by normal
user application programs with the possible exception of a ROM patching mechanism that uses the
breakpoint logic.
15.4.3.1 Debug Comparator A High Register (DBGCAH)
This register contains compare value bits for the high-order eight bits of comparator A. This register is
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.
15.4.3.2 Debug Comparator A Low Register (DBGCAL)
This register contains compare value bits for the low-order eight bits of comparator A. This register is
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.
15.4.3.3 Debug Comparator B High Register (DBGCBH)
This register contains compare value bits for the high-order eight bits of comparator B. This register is
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.
15.4.3.4 Debug Comparator B Low Register (DBGCBL)
This register contains compare value bits for the low-order eight bits of comparator B. This register is
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.

15.4.3.5 Debug FIFO High Register (DBGFH)
This register provides read-only access to the high-order eight bits of the FIFO. Writes to this register have
no meaning or effect. In the event-only trigger modes, the FIFO only stores data into the low-order byte of
each FIFO word, so this register is not used and will read 0x00.
Reading DBGFH does not cause the FIFO to shift to the next word. When reading 16-bit words out of the
FIFO, read DBGFH before reading DBGFL because reading DBGFL causes the FIFO to advance to the
next word of information.
15.4.3.6 Debug FIFO Low Register (DBGFL)
This register provides read-only access to the low-order eight bits of the FIFO. Writes to this register have
no meaning or effect.
Reading DBGFL causes the FIFO to shift to the next available word of information. When the debug
module is operating in event-only modes, only 8-bit data is stored into the FIFO (high-order half of each
FIFO word is unused). When reading 8-bit words out of the FIFO, simply read DBGFL repeatedly to get
successive bytes of data from the FIFO. It isn’t necessary to read DBGFH in this case.
Do not attempt to read data from the FIFO while it is still armed (after arming but before the FIFO is filled
or ARMF is cleared) because the FIFO is prevented from advancing during reads of DBGFL. This can
interfere with normal sequencing of reads from the FIFO.
Reading DBGFL while the debugger is not armed causes the address of the most-recently fetched opcode
to be stored to the last location in the FIFO. By reading DBGFH then DBGFL periodically, external host
software can develop a profile of program execution. After eight reads from the FIFO, the ninth read will
return the information that was stored as a result of the first read. To use the profiling feature, read the FIFO
eight times without using the data to prime the sequence and then begin using the data to get a delayed
picture of what addresses were being executed. The information stored into the FIFO on reads of DBGFL
(while the FIFO is not armed) is the address of the most-recently fetched opcode.

This section contains electrical and timing specifications.
A.2 Parameter Classification
The electrical parameters shown in this supplement are guaranteed by various methods. To give the
customer a better understanding the following classification is used and the parameters are tagged
accordingly in the tables where appropriate:
NOTE
The classification is shown in the column labeled “C” in the parameter
tables where appropriate.
A.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only, and functional operation at the maxima is not
guaranteed. Stress beyond the limits specified in Table A-2 may affect device reliability or cause
permanent damage to the device. For functional operating conditions, refer to the remaining tables in this
section.
This device contains circuitry protecting against damage due to high static voltage or electrical fields;
however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to avoid application of any voltages higher than
maximum-rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused
inputs are tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (for instance, either VSS or VDD) or the programmable
pull-up resistor associated with the pin is enabled.

A.4 Thermal Characteristics
This section provides information about operating temperature range, power dissipation, and package
thermal resistance. Power dissipation on I/O pins is usually small compared to the power dissipation in
on-chip logic and voltage regulator circuits and it is user-determined rather than being controlled by the
MCU design. In order to take PI/O into account in power calculations, determine the difference between
actual pin voltage and VSS or VDD and multiply by the pin current for each I/O pin. Except in cases of
unusually high pin current (heavy loads), the difference between pin voltage and VSS or VDD will be very
small.

1Input must be current limited to the value specified. To determine the value of the required
current-limiting resistor, calculate resistance values for positive (VDD) and negative (VSS) clamp
voltages, then use the larger of the two resistance values.
2All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to VSS and VDD.
3Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD range during instantaneous and
operating maximum current conditions. If positive injection current (VIn > VDD) is greater than
IDD, the injection current may flow out of VDD and could result in external power supply going
out of regulation. Ensure external VDD load will shunt current greater than maximum injection
current. This will be the greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power. Examples are: if
no system clock is present, or if the clock rate is very low which would reduce overall power
consumption.

where:

θJA = Package thermal resistance, junction-to-ambient, °C/W
PD = Pint +PI/O
Pint = IDD × VDD, Watts — chip internal power
PI/O = Power dissipation on input and output pins — user determined
For most applications, PI/O << Pint and can be neglected. An approximate relationship between PDand TJ
(if PI/O is neglected) is:
PD = K ÷ (TJ + 273°C) Eqn. A-2
Solving equations 1 and 2 for K gives:
K = PD× (TA + 273°C) + θJA × (PD)2Eqn. A-3
where K is a constant pertaining to the particular part. K can be determined from equation 3 by measuring
PD (at equilibrium) for a known TA. Using this value of K, the values of PD and TJ can be obtained by
solving equations 1 and 2 iteratively for any value of TA.

A.5 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection Characteristics
Although damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) is much less common on these devices than on early
CMOS circuits, normal handling precautions should be used to avoid exposure to static discharge.
Qualification tests are performed to ensure that these devices can withstand exposure to reasonable levels
of static without suffering any permanent damage.
All ESD testing is in conformity with AEC-Q100 Stress Test Qualification for Automotive Grade
Integrated Circuits. During the device qualification ESD stresses were performed for the Human Body
Model (HBM), the Machine Model (MM) and the Charge Device Model (CDM).
A device is defined as a failure if after exposure to ESD pulses the device no longer meets the device
specification. Complete DC parametric and functional testing is performed per the applicable device
specification at room temperature followed by hot temperature, unless specified otherwise in the device
specification

1Typicals are measured at 25°C.
2This parameter is characterized and not tested on each device.
3Measurement condition for pull resistors: VIn = VSS for pullup and VIn = VDD for pulldown.
4Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD range during instantaneous and operating maximum current
conditions. If positive injection current (VIn >V
DD) is greater than IDD, the injection current may flow out of VDD and could result
in external power supply going out of regulation. Ensure external VDD load will shunt current greater than maximum injection
current. This will be the greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power. Examples are: if no system clock is present, or
if clock rate is very low which (would reduce overall power consumption).
5All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to VSS and VDD.
6Input must be current limited to the value specified. To determine the value of the required current-limiting resistor, calculate
resistance values for positive and negative clamp voltages, then use the larger of the two values.
7IRQ does not have a clamp diode to VDD. Do not drive IRQ above VDD.

1All ACCURACY numbers are based on processor and system being in WAIT state (very little activity and no IO switching) and that
adequate low-pass filtering is present on analog input pins (filter with 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF capacitor between analog input and VREFL).
Failure to observe these guidelines may result in system or microcontroller noise causing accuracy errors which will vary based
on board layout and the type and magnitude of the activity.
2This is the conversion time for subsequent conversions in continuous convert mode. Actual conversion time for single conversions
or the first conversion in continuous mode is extended by one ATD clock cycle and 2 bus cycles due to starting the conversion and
setting the CCF flag. The total conversion time in Bus Cycles for a conversion is:
SC Bus Cycles = ((PRS+1)*2) * (28+1) + 2 CC Bus Cycles = ((PRS+1)*2) * (28)
3RAS is the real portion of the impedance of the network driving the analog input pin. Values greater than this amount may not fully
charge the input circuitry of the ATD resulting in accuracy error.
4Analog input must be between VREFL and VREFH for valid conversion. Values greater than VREFH will convert to $3FF less the full
scale error (EFS).
5The resolution is the ideal step size or 1LSB = (VREFH–VREFL)/1024
6Differential non-linearity is the difference between the current code width and the ideal code width (1LSB). The current code width
is the difference in the transition voltages to and from the current code.
7Integral non-linearity is the difference between the transition voltage to the current code and the adjusted ideal transition voltage
for the current code. The adjusted ideal transition voltage is (Current Code–1/2)*(1/((VREFH+EFS)–(VREFL+EZS))).
8Zero-scale error is the difference between the transition to the first valid code and the ideal transition to that code. The Ideal
transition voltage to a given code is (Code–1/2)*(1/(VREFH–VREFL)).
9Full-scale error is the difference between the transition to the last valid code and the ideal transition to that code. The ideal
transition voltage to a given code is (Code–1/2)*(1/(VREFH–VREFL)).
10 Input leakage error is error due to input leakage across the real portion of the impedance of the network driving the analog pin.
Reducing the impedance of the network reduces this error.
11 Total unadjusted error is the difference between the transition voltage to the current code and the ideal straight-line transfer
function. This measure of error includes inherent quantization error (1/2LSB) and circuit error (differential, integral, zero-scale, and
full-scale) error. The specified value of ET assumes zero EIL (no leakage or zero real source impedance).

Figure A-10. Internal Oscillator Deviation from Trimmed Frequency
A.10 AC Characteristics
This section describes ac timing characteristics for each peripheral system. For detailed information about
how clocks for the bus are generated, see Chapter 9, “Internal Clock Generator (S08ICGV4).”
1Self-clocked mode frequency is the frequency that the DCO generates when the FLL is open-loop.
2Loss of reference frequency is the reference frequency detected internally, which transitions the ICG into self-clocked
mode if it is not in the desired range.
3Loss of DCO frequency is the DCO frequency detected internally, which transitions the ICG into FLL bypassed external
mode (if an external reference exists) if it is not in the desired range.
4This parameter is characterized before qualification rather than 100% tested.
5Proper PC board layout procedures must be followed to achieve specifications.
6This specification applies to the period of time required for the FLL to lock after entering FLL engaged internal or external
modes. If a crystal/resonator is being used as the reference, this specification assumes it is already running.
7Jitter is the average deviation from the programmed frequency measured over the specified interval at maximum fICGOUT
.
Measurements are made with the device powered by filtered supplies and clocked by a stable external clock signal. Noise
injected into the FLL circuitry via VDDA and VSSA and variation in crystal oscillator frequency increase the CJitter
percentage for a given interval.
