1 INTRODUCTION
The ST72F521 and ST72521B devices are mem-
bers of the ST7 micr ocontroller family designed for
mid-range applications with a CAN bus interface
(Controller Area Network).
All devices are based on a common industry-
standard 8-bit core, featuring an en hanced instruc-
tion set and are available with FLASH or ROM pro-
gram memory.
Under software control, all devices can be placed
in WAIT, SLOW, ACTIVE-HALT or HALT mode,
reducing power consumption whe n the application
is in idle or stand-by state.
The enhanced instruction set and addressing
modes of the ST7 offer both power and flexibility to
software developers, e nabling the design of highly
efficient and comp act app lica tion cod e. I n a dditi on
to standard 8-bit data management, all ST7 micro-
controllers feature true bit manipulation, 8x8 un-
signed multiplication and indirect addressing
modes.

3. OSC1 and OSC2 pins connect a crystal/ceramic resonator, or an external source to the on-chip oscil-
lator; see Section 1 INTRODUCTION and Section 12.5 CLOCK AND TIMING CHARACTERISTICS for
more details.
4. On the chip, each I/ O port may have up to 8 pads. Pads that are n ot bonded to extern al pins are in input
pull-up configuratio n after reset. T he configur ation of these pad s must be kep t at reset state to avoid add-
ed current consumption.

3 REGISTER & MEMORY MAP
As shown in Figure 4, the MCU is capable of ad-
dressing 64K bytes of memories and I/ O registers.
The available memory locations consist of 128
bytes of register locations, up to 2Kbytes of RAM
and up to 60Kbyt e s of user pro gr am me mor y. The
RAM space includes up to 256 bytes for the stack
from 0100h to 01FFh.
The highest address bytes contain the user reset
and interrupt vectors.
IMPORTANT: Memory locations marked as “Re-
served” must never be accessed. Accessing a re-
seved area can have unpredic table effects on the
device.

4 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
4.1 Introduction
The ST7 dual voltage High Density Flash
(HDFlash) is a non-volatile memory that can be
electrically erased as a single block or b y individu-
al sectors and programmed o n a Byt e-by-Byte ba-
sis using an external VPP supply.
The HDFlash devices can be programmed and
erased off-board (plugged in a programming tool)
or on-board using ICP ( In-Circuit Progra mming) or
IAP (In-Application Programming).
The array matrix organisation allows each sector
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
other sectors.
4.2 Main Features
Three Flash programming modes:
Insertion in a programming tool. In this mode,
all sectors including option bytes can be pro-
grammed or erased.
ICP (In-Circuit Programming). In this mode, all
sectors including option bytes can be pro-
grammed or erased without removing the de-
vice from the application board.
IAP (In-Application Programming) In this
mode, all sectors exce pt Sector 0, can be pro-
grammed or erased without removing the de-
vice from the application board and while the
application is running.
ICT (In-Circuit Testing) for downloading and
executing user application test patterns in RAM
Read-out protection
Register Access Security System (RASS) to
prevent accidental programming or erasing
4.3 Structure
The Flash memory is organised in sectors and can
be used for both code and data storage.
Depending on the overall Flash memory size in the
microcontroller device, there are up to three user
sectors (see Table 3). Each of these sectors can
be erased independently to avoid unnecessary
erasing of the whole Flash memory when only a
partial erasing is required.
The first two sectors have a fixed size of 4 Kbytes
(see Fig ure 5). They are mapped in the up per par t
of the ST7 addressing space so the reset and in-
terrupt vectors are located in Sector 0 (F000h-
FFFFh).
Table 3. Sectors available in Flash devices
4.3.1 Read-out Protection
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a
protection against Program Memory content ex-
traction and against write access to Flash memo-
ry. Even if no protection can be considered as to-
tally unbreaka ble, t he f eatu re provides a ver y high
level of protection for a general purpose microcon-
troller.
In flash devices, this protection is removed by re-
programming the option. In this case, the entire
program memory is first automatically erased and
the device can be reprogrammed.
Read-out protection selection depends on the de-
vice type:
In Flash devices it is enabled and removed
through the FMP_R bit in the option byte.
In ROM devices it is enabled by mask option
specified in the Option List.
Note: In flash devices, the LVD is not supported if
read-out protection is enabled.

4.4 ICC Interface
ICC needs a minimum of 4 and up to 6 pins to be
connected t o the progra mming too l (see Figure 6).
These pins ar e:
RESET: device reset
–V
SS: device power supp ly grou nd
ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin
ICCDATA: ICC input/output serial data pin
ICCSEL/VPP: programming voltage
OSC1(or OSCIN): main clock input for exter-
nal source (optional)
–V
DD: application board power supply (option-
al, see Figure 6, Note 3)
Figure 6. Typical ICC Interface
Notes:
1. If the ICCCLK or ICCDATA pins are only used
as outputs in the application, no signal isolation is
necessary. As soon as the Programming Tool is
plugged to the boar d, even if an ICC session is n ot
in progress, the ICCCLK and ICCDATA pins are
not available for the application. If they are used as
inputs by the applicatio n, isolat ion such as a seria l
resistor has to implemented in case another de-
vice forces the signal. Refer to the Programming
Tool documentation for recommended resistor val-
ues.
2. During the ICC session, the programming tool
must control the RESET pin. This can le ad to con-
flicts between the pr ogram ming t ool an d the a ppli-
cation reset circuit if it drives more than 5mA at
high level (push pull output or pull-up resistor<1K).
A schottky dio de can be used to isolate the ap pli-
cation RESET circuit in this case. When using a
classical RC network with R>1K or a reset man-
agement IC with open drain output and pull-up re-
sistor>1K, no additional components are needed.
In all cases the us er must ensure tha t no external
reset is generated by the application during the
ICC session.
3. The use of Pin 7 of the ICC connector depends
on the Programming Tool architecture. This pin
must be connected when using most ST Program-
ming Tools (it is used to monitor the application
power supply). Please refer to the Programming
Tool manual.
4. Pin 9 has to be connected to the OSC1 or OS-
CIN pin of the ST7 when the clock is not available
in the applicatio n or if the selected clock option is
not programmed in the option byte. ST7 devices
with multi-oscillator capability need to have OSC 2
grounded in this case.

4.5 ICP (In-Circuit Programming)
To perform ICP the microcontroller must be
switched to ICC (In-Circu it Communication) mode
by an external controller or programming tool.
Depending o n the ICP code downlo aded in RAM,
Flash memory programming can be fully custom-
ized (number of bytes to program, program loca-
tions, or selection serial communication interface
for downloading).
When using an STMicroelectronics or third-party
programming tool that supports ICP and the spe-
cific microcontroller device, t he user n eed s only to
implement the ICP hardware interface on the ap-
plication board (see Figure 6). F or more det ails on
the pin locations, refer to the device pinout de-
scription.
4.6 IAP (In-Application Programming)
This mode uses a BootLoa der pr og ram pr eviously
stored in Sector 0 by the user (in ICP mode or by
plugging the device in a programming tool).
This mode is fully controlled by user software. This
allows it to be adapted to th e user applicat ion, (us-
er-defined strategy for entering programming
mode, choice of communications protocol used to
fetch the dat a to be st ored, etc. ). For examp le, it is
possible to download co de from the SPI, SCI, USB
or CAN interface and program it in the Flash. IAP
mode can be used to program any of the Flash
sectors except Sector 0, which is write/erase pro-
tected to allow recovery in case errors occur dur-
ing the programming operation.

manipulation.
5.2 MAIN FEATURES
Enable executing 63 basic instructions
Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply
17 main addressing modes (with indirect
addressing mode)
Two 8-bit index registers
16-bit stack pointer

5.3 CPU REGISTERS
The 6 CPU registers shown in Figure 8 are not
present in the memory m apping and are ac cessed
by specific instructions.
Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose reg-
ister used to hold operands and the results of the
arithmetic and lo gic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
These 8-bit registers are used to create effective

precede instruction (PRE) to indicate that the fol-
lowing instruction refers to the Y register.)
The Y register is not affecte d by the interrupt auto-
matic procedures.
Program Counter (PC)
The program count er is a 16-bit register conta ining
the address of the next instruction to be executed

Condition Code Register (CC)
Read/Write
Reset Value: 111x1xxx
The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the in-
terrupt masks and four flags representative of the
result of the inst ruction just executed. Th is register
can also be handled by the PUSH and POP in-
structions.
These bits can be individually tested and/or con-
trolled by specific instructions.
Arithmetic Management Bits
Bit 4 = H Half carry.
This bit is set by hardware when a carry occurs be-
tween bits 3 and 4 of the ALU during an ADD or
ADC instructions. It is reset by hardware during
the same instructions.
0: No half carry has occurred.
1: A half carry has occurred.
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruc-
tion. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subrou-
tines.
Bit 2 = N Negative.
This bit is set and cl ear ed by h ardwar e. I t is r epr e-
sentative of the result sign of the last arithmetic,
logical or data manipulation. It’s a copy of the re-
sult 7th bit.
0: The result of the last operation is positive or null.
1: The result of the last operation is negative
(i.e. the most signif icant bit is a logic 1).
This bit is accessed by the JRMI and JRPL instruc-
tions.
Bit 1 = Z Zero.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This b it in-
dicates that the result of the last arithm et ic, log ica l
or data manipulation is zero.
0: The result of the last operation is different from
zero.
1: The result of the last operation is zero.
This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test
instructions.
Bit 0 = C Carry/borrow.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware and soft-
ware. It indicates an overflow or an underflow has
occurred during the last arithmetic operation.
0: No overflow or underflow has occurred.
1: An overflow or underflow has occurred.
This bit is driven by the SCF and RCF instructions
and tested by the JRC and JRNC instru ctions. I t is
also affected by the “bit test and br anch”, shift and
rotate instr uct ions .
Interrupt Management Bits
Bit 5,3 = I1, I0 Interrupt
The combination of the I1 and I0 bit s gives the cur-
rent interrupt software priority.
These two bits are set/cleared by hardware when
entering in interrupt. The loaded value is given by
the corresponding bits in the interrupt softwa re pri-
ority registers (IxSPR). They can be also set/
cleared by software with the RIM, SIM, IRET,
HALT, WFI and PUSH/POP instructions.
See the interrupt management chapter for more
details.

Stack Pointer (SP)
Read/Write
Reset Value: 01 FFh
The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is al-
ways pointing to the n ext free location in the sta ck.
It is then de cremented aft er data has been p ushed
onto the stack and incremented before data is
popped from the stack (see Figure 9).
Since the stack is 256 bytes deep, the 8 most sig-
nificant bits are forced by hardware. Following an
MCU Rese t, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruc-
tion (RSP), the Stack Pointer co ntains its reset val-
ue (the SP7 to SP0 bits are set) which is the stack
higher address.
The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD in-
struction.
Note: When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack
Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit, with-
out indicating the stack overflow. The previously
stored information is then overwritten and there-
fore lost. The stack also wraps in case of an under-
flow.
The stack is used to save the return address dur-
ing a subroutine call and the CPU context during
an interrupt. The user may also directly manipulate
the stack by means of the PUSH an d POP instruc-
tions. In the case of a n inte rrupt, the PCL is stored
at the first location pointed t o by th e SP. Then the
other registers are stored in the next locations as
shown in Figure 9.
When an inte rr up t is received, the SP is decre-
mented and the context is pushed on the stack.
On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented
and the context is popped from the stack.
A subroutine call occupi es two locations and an in-
terrupt five locations in the stack area.

6.2 MULTI-OSCILLATOR (M O)
The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by
three differe nt source types comin g from the multi-
oscillator block:
an external source
4 crystal or ceramic resonator oscillators
an internal high frequency RC oscillator
Each oscillator is optimized for a given frequency
range in terms of consumption and is selectable
through the option byte. The associated hardware
configurations are shown in Table 4. Refer to the
electrical characteristics section for more details.
Caution: The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not
be left unconnected. For the purposes of Failure
Mode and Effect Analysis, it should be noted that if
the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins are lef t unconnected,
the ST7 main oscillator may start and, in this con-
figuration, could generate a n fOSC clock frequency
in excess of the allowed maximum (>16MHz.),
putting the ST7 in an unsafe/undefined state. The
product behaviour must therefore be considered
undefined when the OSC pins are left unconnect-
ed.
External Clock Source
In this external clock mode, a clock signal (square,
sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive
the OSC1 pin while the OSC2 pin is tied to ground.
Crystal/Cer amic Oscillators
This family of oscillators has the advantage of pro-
ducing a very accurate rate on the main clock of
the ST7. The selection within a list of 4 oscillators
with different frequency ranges has to be done by
option byte in order to reduce consumption (refer
to section 14.1 on page 201 for more details on the
frequency ranges). In this mode of the multi-oscil-
lator, the resonator and the load capacitors have
to be placed as close as possible to the oscillator
pins in order to minimize output distortion and
start-up stabilization time. The loading capaci-
tance values must be adjusted according to the
selected oscillator.
These oscillators are not stopped during the
RESET phase to avoid losing time in the oscillator
start-u p ph as e.
Internal RC Osci lla tor
This oscillator allows a low cost solution for the
main clock of the ST7 using only an internal resis-
tor and capacitor. Internal RC oscillator mode has
the drawback of a lower frequency accuracy and
should not be used in applications that require ac-
curate timin g.
In this mode, the two oscillator pins have to be tied
to ground.

6.3 RESET SEQUENCE MANAGER (RSM)
6.3.1 Introduction
The reset sequence manager includes three RE-
SET sources as shown in Figure 13:
External RESET source pulse
Internal LVD RESET (Low Voltage Detection)
Internal WATCHDOG RESET
These sources act on the RESET pin and it is al-
ways kept low during the delay phase.
The RESET service routine vector is fixed at ad-
dresses FFFEh-FFFFh in the ST7 memory map.
The basic RESET sequence consists of 3 phases
as shown in Figure 12:
Active Phase depending on the RESET source
256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay (selected by
option byte )
RESET vector fetch
The 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle de lay allows the
oscillator to stabilise and ensures that recovery
has taken place from the Reset state. The shorter
or longer clock cycle delay should be selected by
option byte to correspond to the stabilization time
of the external oscillator used in the application
(see section 14.1 on page 201).
The RESET vector fetch phase duration is 2 clock
cycles.
Figure 12. RESET Sequence Phases
6.3.2 Asynchronous External RESET pin
The RESET pin is both an input and an open -drain
output with integrated RON weak pull-up resistor.
This pull-up has no fixed value but varies in ac-
cordance with the input voltage. It can be pulled
low by external circuitry to reset the device. See
“CONTROL PIN CHARACTERISTICS” on
page 185 for more details.
A RESET signal originating from an external
source must h ave a duration of at least th(RSTL)in in
order to be recognized (see Figure 14). This de-
tection is asynchronous and therefore the MCU
can enter reset state even in HALT mode.

RESET SEQUENCE MANAGER (Cont’d)
The RESET pin is an asynchronous signal which
plays a major role in EMS performance. In a noisy
environment, it is recommended to follow the
guidelines mentioned in the electrical characteris-
tics section.
If the external RESET pulse is shorter than
tw(RSTL)out (see sh ort ext. Rese t in Figure 14), the
signal on the RESET pin may be stre tched. Othe r-
wise the delay will not be applied (see long ext.
Reset in Figure 14). Starting fr om the external RE-
SET pulse recognition, the device RESET pin acts
as an output that is pulled low during at least
tw(RSTL)out.
6.3.3 External Power-On RESET
If the LVD is disable d by option byte, to star t up the
microcontroller correctly, the user must ensure by
means of an external reset circuit that the reset
signal is held low until VDD is over the minimum
level specified for the selected fOSC frequency.
(see “OPERATING CONDITIONS” on page 167)
A proper reset signal for a slow rising VDD supply
can generally be provided by an external RC net-
work connected to the RESET pin.
6.3.4 Internal Low Voltage Detector (LVD)
RESET
Two different RESET sequ ences caused by the in-
ternal LVD circuitry can be distinguished:
Power-On RESET
Voltage Drop RESET
The device RESET pin acts as an output that is
pulled low when VDD<VIT+ (rising edge) or
VDD<VIT- (falling edge) as shown in Figure 14.
The LVD filters spikes on VDD lar ger than tg(VDD) to
avoid parasitic resets.
6.3.5 Internal Watchdog RESET
The RESET sequence generated by a internal
Watchdog counter over flow is shown in Figur e 1 4 .
Starting fr om the Watchdog counter underflo w, the
device RESET pin acts as an output that is pulled
low during at least tw(RSTL)out.

6.4 SYSTEM INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT (SI)
The System Integrity Management block contains
the Low Voltage Detector (LVD) and Auxiliary Volt-
age Detector (AVD) functions. It is managed by
the SICSR register.
6.4.1 Low Voltage Detector (LVD)
The Low Voltage Detector function (LVD) gener-
ates a static reset when the VDD supply voltage is
below a VIT- reference value. This means that it
secures the power-up as well as the power-down
keeping the ST7 in reset.
The VIT- reference value for a voltage drop is lower
than the VIT+ r eference value for power- on in order
to avoid a parasitic reset whe n the MCU starts run-
ning and sinks cu rr en t on the supply (hysteresis).
The LVD Reset circuitry generates a reset when
VDD is below:
–V
IT+ when VDD is rising
–V
IT- when VDD is falling
The LVD function is illustrated in Figure 15.
The voltage threshold can be conf igured b y option
byte to be low, medium or high.
Provided the minimum VDD value (guaranteed for
the oscillator frequency) is above VIT-, the MCU
can only be in two modes:
under full software control
in static safe reset
In these conditions, secur e operation is always en-
sured for the application without the need for ex-
ternal reset hardware.
During a Low Voltage Detector Reset, the RESET
pin is held low, thus permitting the MCU to reset
other devices.
Notes:
The LVD allows the device to be used without any
external RESET circuitry.
If the medium or low thresholds are selected, the
detection may occur outside the specified operat-
ing voltage range. Below 3.8V, device oper ation is
not guaranteed.
The LVD is an optional function which can be se-
lected by optio n by te .
It is recommended to make sure that the V DD sup-
ply voltage rises monoto nously when the device is
exiting from Reset, to ensure the application func-
tions prope rly.

6.4.2 Auxiliary Voltage Detector (AVD)
The Voltage Detector function (AVD) is based on
an analog comparison between a VIT-(AVD) and
VIT+(AVD) reference value and the VDD main sup-
ply or the external EVD pin voltage level (VEVD).
The VIT- reference value for falling voltage is lower
than the VIT+ reference value for rising voltage in
order to avoid parasitic detection (hysteresis).
The output of t he AVD comparator is directly read-
able by the application software through a real
time status bit (AVDF) in the SICS R register. This
bit is read only.
Caution: The AVD function is active only if the
LVD is enabled through the option byte.
6.4.2.1 Monitoring the VDD Main Supply
This mode is selected by clearing the AVDS bit in
the SICSR register.
The AVD voltage threshold value is relative to the
selected LVD threshold configured by option byte
(see section 14.1 on page 201).
If the AVD interr upt is enabled, an interr upt is gen-
erated when the voltage crosses the VIT+(AVD) or
VIT-(AVD) threshold (AVDF bit toggles).
In the case of a drop in voltage, the AVD interrupt
acts as an early warning, a llowing software t o shut
down safely before the LVD resets the microcon-
troller. See Figure 16.
The interrupt on the rising edge is used to inform
the application t hat the VDD warning state is over.
If the voltage rise time trv is less than 256 or 4096
CPU cycles (depending on the reset delay select-
ed by option byte), no AVD interrupt will be gener-
ated when VIT+(AVD) is reached.
If trv is greater than 256 or 4096 cycles then:
If the AVD interrupt is enabled before the
VIT+(AVD) threshold is reached, then 2 AVD inter-
rupts will be received: the first when the AVDIE
bit is set, and the second when the threshold is
reached.
If the AVD interrupt is enabled after the VIT+(AVD)
threshold is reached then only one AVD interrupt
will occur.

6.4.2.2 Monitoring a Voltage on the EVD pin
This mode is selected by setting the AVDS bit in
the SICSR register.
The AVD circuitry can generate an interrupt when
the AVDIE bit o f the SICSR r egister is set . Th is in-
terrupt is generated on the rising and falling edges
of the comparat or output. This means it is generat-
ed when either one of t hese two events occur:
–V
EVD rises up to VIT+(EVD)
–V
EVD falls down to VIT-(EVD)
The EVD function is illustrated in Figure 17.

If the AVDIE b it is se t, an inte rrupt r equ est is gen -
erated when the AVDF bit ch anges value. Ref er to
Figure 16 and to Section 6.4.2.1 for additional de-
tails.

Bit 4 = LVDRF LVD reset flag
This bit indicates that the last Reset was generat-
ed by the LVD block. It is set by hardware ( LVD re-
set) and cleared by software (writing zero). See
WDGRF flag description for more details. When
the LVD is disabled by OPTION BYTE, the LVDRF
bit value is undefined.
Bits 3:1 = Reserved, must be kept cleared.
Bit 0 = WDGRF Watchdog reset flag
This bit indicates that the last Reset was generat-
ed by the Watchdog peripheral. It is set by hard-
ware (watchdog reset) and cleared by software
(writing zero) or an LVD Reset (to ensure a stable
cleared state of the WDGRF flag when CPU
starts).
Combined with the LVDRF flag information, the
flag description is given by the following table.
Application notes
The LVDRF flag is not cleared when another RE-
SET type occurs (external or watchdog), the
LVDRF flag remains set to keep trace of the origi-
nal failure.
In this cas e, a watc hdog re set c an be dete cted by
software while an external reset can not.
CAUTION: When the LVD is not activated with the
associated option byte, the WDGRF flag can not
be used in the application.

7 INTERRUPTS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The ST7 enhanced interrupt management pro-
vides the following features:
Hardware interrupts
Software interrupt (TRAP)
Nested or concurrent interrupt management
with flexible interrupt priority and level
management:
Up to 4 software prog rammable nesting levels
Up to 16 interrupt vectors fixed by hardware
2 non maskable events: RESET, TRAP
1 maskable Top Level event: TLI
This interrupt manag ement is based on:
Bit 5 and bit 3 of the CPU CC register (I1:0),
Interrupt software priority registers (ISPRx),
Fixed interrupt vector addresses located at the
high addresses of the memory map (FFE0h to
FFFFh) sorted by hardware priority order.
This enhanced interrupt controller guarantees full
upward compatibility with the standard (not nest-
ed) ST7 interrup t controller.
7.2 MASKING AND PROCESSING FLOW
The interrupt ma sking is managed by the I1 an d I0
bits of the CC register and the ISPRx registers
which give the interrupt software priority level of
each interrupt vector (see Table 5). The process-
ing flow is shown in Figure 18
When an interrupt request has to be serviced:
Normal processing is suspended at the end of
the current instruction execution.
The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto
the stack.
I1 and I0 bits of CC register are se t according t o
the corresponding valu es in t he ISPRx regist er s
of the serviced inte rr upt ve cto r.
The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of
the interrupt to service and the first instruction of
the interrupt service routine is fetched (refer to
“Interrupt Mapping” table for vector addresses).
The interrupt service routine should end with the
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,
the I1 and I0 bits will be restored from the stack
and the program in the previous level will resume.

INTERRUPTS (Cont’d)
Servicing Pending Interrupts
As several interrupts can be pending at the same
time, the interrupt to be taken into account is deter-
mined by the following two-step process:
the highest software priority int errupt is serviced,
if several interrupts have the same software pri-
ority then the in terrupt with the highest hardware
priority is serviced first.
Figure 19 describes this decision process.
Figure 19. Priority Decision Process
When an interrupt request is not serviced immedi-
ately, it is latched and then processed when its
software priority combined with the hardware pri-
ority becomes the highest one.
Note 1: The hardware priority is exclusive while
the software one is not. This allows the previous
process to succeed with only one interrupt.
Note 2: TL I, RESET and TRAP can be considered
as having th e highes t softwar e priorit y in the dec i-
sion process.
Different Interrupt Vector Sources
Two interrupt source types are managed by the
ST7 interrupt controller: the non-maskable type
(RESET, TRAP) and the maskable type (external
or from internal peripherals).
Non-Maskable Sources
These sources are processed regardless of the
state of the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register (see
Figure 18). After stacking the PC, X, A and CC
registers (except for RESET), the corresponding
vector is loaded in the PC register and the I1 and
I0 bits of the CC are set to disable interrupts (level
3). These sources allow the processor to exit
HALT mode.
TRAP (Non Maskable Software Interrupt)
This software interrupt is serviced when the TRAP
instruction is executed. It will be serviced accord-
ing to the flowch art in Figure 18.
Caution: TRAP can be interrupted by a TLI.
RESET
The RESET source has the highest priority in the
ST7. This means that the first current routine has
the highest soft ware prior ity (l evel 3) and th e high-
est hardware priority.
See the RESET chapter for more details.
Maskable Sources
Maskable interrupt vector sources can be serviced
if the corresponding interrupt is enabled and if its
own interrupt software priority (in ISPRx registers)
is higher than the one currently being serviced (I1
and I0 in CC register). If any of these two condi-
tions is false, the interrupt is latched and thus re-
mains pending.
TLI (Top Level Hardware Interrupt)
This hardware interrupt occurs when a specific
edge is detected on the dedicated TLI pin. It will be
serviced according t o the flowcha rt in Figu re 18 as
a trap.
Caution: A TRAP instruction must not be used in a
TLI service ro ut ine .
External Interrupts
External interrupts allo w the processor to exit from
HALT low power mode . External interrupt se nsitiv-
ity is software selectable through the External In-
terrupt Control register (EICR).
External interrupt triggered on edge will be latched
and the interrupt request automatically cleared
upon entering the interrupt service routine.
If several input pins of a group connected to the
same interrupt line are selected simultaneously,
these will be logically ORed.
Peripheral Interrupts
Usually the peripher al interrupts cause the MCU to
exit from HALT mode except those mentioned in
the “Interrupt Mapping” table. A peripheral inter-
rupt occurs when a specific flag is set in the pe-
ripheral status registers and if the corresponding
enable bit is set in the peripheral control register.
The general sequence for clearing an interrupt is
based on an access to the statu s regist er followed
by a read or write to an associated register.
Note: The clearing sequence resets the internal
latch. A pending interrupt (i.e. waiting for being
serviced) will therefore be lost if the clear se-
quence is executed.

7.3 INTERRUPTS AND LOW POWER MODES
All interrupts allow the processor to exit the WAIT
low power mode. On the contrary, only external
and other specified interrupts allow the processor
to exit from the HALT modes (see column “Exit
from HALT” in “Interrupt Mapping” table). When
several pending interrupts are present while exit-
ing HALT mode, the first one se rviced can on ly be
an interrupt with exit from HALT mode capability
and it is selected thr oug h the same dec ision pr oc-
ess shown in Figure 19.
Note: If an interrupt, that is not able to Exit from
HALT mode, is pending with the highest priority
when exiting HALT mode, this interrupt is serviced
after the first one serviced.
7.4 CONCURRENT & NESTED MANAGEMENT
The following Figure 20 and Figure 21 show two
different inter rupt man age ment m ode s. Th e f irst is
called concurrent mode and does not allow an in-
terrupt to be int errupted, unlike the nested mode in
Figure 21. The interrupt hardware priority is given
in this order from the lowest to the highest: MAIN,
IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0, TLI. The software priority is
given for each interrupt.
Warning: A stack over flow may o ccur with out no-
tifying the software o f the failure.

7.5 INTERRUPT REGISTER DESCRIPTION
CPU CC REGISTER INTERRUPT BITS
Read/Write
Reset Value: 111x 1010 (xAh)
Bit 5, 3 = I1, I0 Software Interru p t Prio rity
These two bits indicate the current interrupt soft-
ware priority.
These two bits are set/cleared by hardware when
entering in interrupt. The loaded value is given by
the corresponding bi ts in the interrupt sof tware pri-
ority registers (ISPRx).
They can be also set/cleared by software with the
RIM, SIM, HALT, WFI, IRET and PUSH/POP in-
structions (see “Interrupt Dedicated Instruction
Set” table).
*Note: TLI, TRAP and RESET events can interrupt
a level 3 program.
INTERRUPT SOFTWARE PRIORITY REGIS-
TERS (ISPRX)
Read/Write (bit 7:4 of ISPR3 are read only)
Reset Value: 1111 1111 (FFh)
These four registers contain the interrupt software
priority of each interrupt vector.
Each interrupt vector (except RESET and TRAP)
has corresponding bits in these registers where
its own software priority is stored. This corre-
spondance is shown in the following tabl e.
Each I1_x and I0_x bit value in the ISPRx regis-
ters has the same meaning as the I1 and I0 bits
in the CC registe r.
Level 0 can not be written (I1_x=1, I0_x=0) . In
this case, the previously stored value is kept. (ex-
ample: previous=CFh, write=64h, result=44h)
The TLI, RESET, and TRAP vectors have no soft-
ware priorities. When one is serviced, the I1 and I0
bits of the CC register are both set.
*Note: Bits in the ISPRx registers which corre-
spond to the TLI can be read and written but they
are not significant in the interrupt process man-
agement.
Caution: If the I1_x and I0_x bits are modified
while the interrupt x is executed the following be-
haviour has to be considered: If the interrupt x is
still pending (new interrupt or flag not cleared) and
the new software priority is higher than the previ-
ous one, the interrupt x is re-entered. Otherwise,
the software priority stays unchanged up to the
next interrupt request (after the IRET of the inter-
rupt x).

1. Exit from HALT possible when SPI is in slave mode.
2. Exit from HALT possible when PWM ART is in external clock mode.
3. In Flash devices only a RESET or MCC/RTC interrupt can be used to wake-up from Active Halt mode.
7.6 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
7.6.1 I/O Port Interrupt Sensitivity
The external interrupt sensitivity is controlled by
the IPA, IPB and ISxx bits of the EICR register
(Figure 22). This control allows to have up to 4 fully
independent external interrupt source sensitivities.
Each external interrupt source can be generated
on four (or five) dif ferent events on the pin:
Falling edge
Rising edge
Falling and rising edge
Falling edge and low level
Rising edge and high leve l (only for ei0 and e i2)
To guarantee correct functionality, the sensitivity
bits in the EICR register can be modified only
when the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register are both
set to 1 (level 3). This means that inte rrupts must
be disabled before changing sensitivity.
The pending inte rrupts are cleare d by writing a dif-
ferent value in the ISx[1:0], IPA or IPB bits of the
EICR.

8 POWER SAVING MODES
8.1 INTRODUCTION
To give a large measure of flexibility to the applica-
tion in terms of power consumption, four main
power saving modes are implemented in the ST7
(see Figure 23): SLOW, WAIT (SLOW WAIT), AC-
TIVE HALT and HALT.
After a RESET the normal operating mode is se-
lected by default (RUN mode). This mode drives
the device (CPU and embedded peripherals) by
means of a master clock which is based on the
main oscillator frequency divided or multiplied by 2
(fOSC2).
From RUN mode, the different power saving
modes may be selected by setting the relevant
register bits or by calling the specific ST7 software
instruction whose action depends on the oscillator
status.
Figure 23. Power Saving Mode Transitions
8.2 SLOW MODE
This mode has two targets:
To reduce power consumption by decreasing the
internal clock in the device,
To adapt the internal clock frequency (fCPU) to
the available supply voltage.
SLOW mode is controlled by three bits in the
MCCSR register: the SMS bit which enables or
disables Slow mode and two CPx bits which select
the internal slow frequency (fCPU).
In this mode, the master clock frequency (fOSC2)
can be divided by 2, 4, 8 or 16. The CPU and pe-
ripherals are clocked at this lower frequency
(fCPU).
Note: SL OW-WAIT m ode is activat ed wh en ente r-
ing the WAIT mode while the device is already in
SLOW mode.

POWER SAVING MODES (Cont’d)
8.3 WAIT MODE
WAIT mode places the MCU in a low power con-
sumption mode by stopping the CPU.
This power saving mode is selected by calling the
‘WFI’ instruction.
All peripherals remain active. During WAIT mode,
the I[1:0] bits of the CC register are forced to ‘10’,
to enable all interrupts. All other registers and
memory remain unchanged. The MCU remains in
WAIT mode until an interrupt or RESET occurs,
whereupon the Program Counter branches to the
starting address of the interrupt or Reset service
routine.
The MCU will remain in WAIT mode until a Reset
or an Interrupt occurs, causing it to wake up.
Refer to Figure 25.
Figure 25. WAIT Mode Flow-chart
Note:
1. Before servicing an interru pt, the CC regis ter is
pushed on the stack. The I[1 :0] bit s of the CC re g-
ister are set to the current software priority level of
the interrupt routine and recovered when the CC
register is popped.

POWER SAVING MODES (Cont’d)
8.4 ACTIVE-HALT AND HALT MODES
ACTIVE-HALT and HALT modes are the two low-
est power consumption modes of the MCU. They
are both entered by executing the ‘HALT’ instruc-
tion. The decision to enter either in ACTIVE-HALT
or HALT mode is given by the MCC/RTC interrupt
enable flag (OIE bit in MCCSR register).
8.4.1 ACTIVE-HALT MODE
ACTIVE-HALT mode is the lowest power con-
sumption mode of the MCU with a real time clock
available. It is entered by executing the ‘HALT’ in-
struction when the OIE bit of the Main Clock Con-
troller Status register (MCCSR) is set (see section
10.2 on page 58 for more details on the MCCSR
register).
The MCU can exit ACT IVE-HAL T mo de on recep -
tion of an MCC/RTC interrupt or a RESET. In ROM
devices, external interrupts can be used to wake-
up the MCU. When exiting ACTIVE-HALT mode
by means of an interrupt, no 256 or 4096 CPU cy-
cle delay occurs. The CPU resumes operation by
servicing the inter rupt or b y fetc hing th e reset ve c-
tor which woke it up (see Figure 27).
When entering ACTIVE-HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits
in the CC register are forced to ‘10b’ to enable in-
terrupts. Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the
MCU wakes up immediately.
In ACTIVE-HALT mode, only the main oscillator
and its associated counter (MCC/RTC) are run-
ning to keep a wa ke-up time base. All other periph-
erals are not clocked except those which get their
clock supply from another clock generator (such
as external or auxiliary oscillator).
The safeguard against staying locked in ACTIVE-
HALT mode is provided by the oscillator interrupt.
Note: As soon as the interrupt capability of one of
the oscillators is selected (MCCSR.OIE bit set),
entering ACTIVE- HALT mode wh ile the Watch dog
is active does no t generate a RESET.
This means that the device cannot spend more
than a defined delay in this power saving mode.
CAUTION: When exiting ACTIVE-HALT mode fol-
lowing an MCC/RTC interrupt, OIE bit of MCC SR
register must not be cleared before tDELAY after
the interrupt occurs (tDELAY = 256 or 4096 tCPU de-
lay depending on op tion byt e). Othe rwise, the ST7
enters HALT mode for the remaining tDELAY peri-
od.

Notes:
1. This delay occurs only if the MCU exits ACTIVE-
HALT mode by means of a RESET.
2. Peripheral clocked with an external clock source
can still be active.
3. Before servicing an interru pt, the CC regis ter is
pushed on the stack. The I[1 :0] bit s of the CC re g-
ister are set to the current software priority level of
the interrupt routine and restored when the CC
register is popped.
4. In flash devices only the MCC/RTC interrupt can
exit the MCU from ACTIVE-HALT mode.

8.4.2 HALT MODE
The HALT mode is the lowe st po we r co ns um p tio n
mode of the MCU. It is entered by executing the
‘HALT’ instruction when the OIE bit of the Main
Clock Controller Status register (MCCSR) is
cleared (see section 10.2 on page 58 for more de-
tails on the MCCSR register).
The MCU can exit HALT mode on reception of ei-
ther a specific interrupt (see Table 7, “Interrupt
Mapping,” on page 38) or a RESET. When exiting
HALT mode by means of a RESET o r an interrupt,
the oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256
or 4096 CPU cycle delay is used to stabilize the
oscillator. After the start up delay, the CPU
resumes operation by servicing the interrupt or by
fetching the reset ve ctor which woke it up (see Fig-
ure 29).
When entering HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits in the
CC register ar e fo rced to ‘10b’to e nable interrup ts.
Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the MCU
wakes up immediately.
In HALT mode, the main oscillator is turned off
causing all internal processing to be stopped, in-
cluding the operation of the on-chip peripherals.
All peripherals are not clocked except the ones
which get their clock supply from another clock
generator (such as an external or auxiliary oscilla-
tor).
The compatibility of Watchdog operation with
HALT mode is configured by the “WDGHALT” op-
tion bit of the option byte. The HALT instruction
when executed while the Watchdog system is en-
abled, can generate a Watchdog RESET (see sec-
tion 14.1 on page 201 for more details).
Figure 28. HALT Timing Overview
Figure 29. HALT Mode Flow-chart
Notes:
1. WDGHALT is an option bit. See option byte sec-
tion for more details.
2. Peripheral clocked with an external clock source
can still be active.
3. Only some specific interrupts can exit the MCU
from HALT mode (such as external interrupt). Re-
fer to Tab le 7, “Inter rupt M apping,” o n pag e 38 for
more details.
4. Before servicing an interru pt, the CC regis ter is
pushed on the stack. The I[1 :0] bit s of the CC re g-
ister are set to the current software priority level of
the interrupt routine and recovered when the CC
register is popped.

8.4.2.1 Halt Mode Recommendations
Make sure that an external event is available to
wake up the microcontroller from Halt mode.
When using an external interrupt to wake up the
microcontroller, reinitialize the corresponding I/O
as “Input Pull-up with Inter rupt” before executing
the HALT instruction. Th e main reason for this is
that the I/O may be wrongly configured due to ex-
ternal interferen ce or by an unforeseen logical
condition.
For the same reason, reinitialize the level sensi-
tiveness of each external interrupt as a precau-
tionary measure.
The opcode for the HALT instru ction is 0x8E. To
avoid an unexpected HALT instr uction due to a
program counter failure, it is advised to clear all
occurrences of the data value 0x8E from memo-
ry. For example, avoid defining a constant in
ROM with the value 0x8E.
As the HALT instruction clears the interrupt mask
in the CC register to allow interrupts, the user
may choose to clear all pending interr upt bits be-
fore executing th e HALT instruction. This avo ids
entering other peripheral interrupt routines after
executing the external interrupt ro utine corre-
sponding to t he wake-up event (reset or exter nal
interrupt).

9 I/O PORTS
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The I/O ports offer different functional modes:
transfer of data through digital inputs and outputs
and for specific pins:
external interrupt generation
alternate signal input/output for the on-chip pe-
ripherals.
An I/O port contains up to 8 pins. Each pin can be
progr ammed independently as digital input ( with or
without interrupt gener ation) or digital output.
9.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each port has 2 main registers:
Data Register (DR)
Data Direction Register (DDR)
and one optional register:
Option Register (OR)
Each I/O pin may be pr ogrammed u sing the corr e-
sponding register bits in the DDR and OR regis-
ters: bit X corresponding to pin X of the port. The
same correspondence is used for the DR register.
The following description takes into account the
OR register, (for specific ports which do not pro-
vide this regis ter refe r to the I/ O Port Imp lementa -
tion section). The generic I/O block diagram is
shown in Figure 30
9.2.1 Input Modes
The input configuration is selected by clearing the
corresponding DDR reg ister bit.
In this case, reading the DR register returns the
digital value applied to the exter nal I/O pin.
Different input mode s ca n be select ed by soft ware
through the OR register.
Notes:
1. Writing the DR register modifies the latch value
but does not affect the pin status.
2. When sw itching from input to output mode, the
DR register has to be written first to drive the cor-
rect level on the pin as soon as the port is config-
ured as an output.
3. Do not use read/modify/write instructions (BSET
or BRES) to modify the DR re gist er
External interrupt function
When an I/O is configured as Input with Interrupt,
an event on this I/O ca n generate an external inter-
rupt request to the CPU.
Each pin can independently generate an interrupt
request. The interrupt sensitivity is independently
programmable using the sensitivity bits in the
EICR register.
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedi-
cated group of I/O port p ins (see pinout descr iption
and interrupt section). If several input pins are se-
lected simultaneously as interrupt sources, these
are first detected a ccording to the sensitivity bits in
the EICR register and then logically ORed.
The external interrupts are hardware interrupts,
which means that the request la tch (not accessible
directly by the applicati on) is automati cally cleared
when the corresponding interrupt vector is
fetched. To clear an unwanted pending interrupt
by software, the sensitivity bits in the EICR register
must be modified.
9.2.2 Output Modes
The output configuration is selected by setting the
corresponding DDR register bit. In this case, writ-
ing the DR register applies this digital value to the
I/O pin through the latch. Then reading the DR reg-
ister returns the previously st ored value.
Two different output modes can be selected by
software through the OR register: Output push-pull
and open-drain.
DR register value and output pin status:
9.2.3 Alternate Functions
When an on-chip peripheral is configured to use a
pin, the alternate function is automatically select-
ed. This alternate function takes priority over the
standard I/O programming.
When the signal is comin g from an on- chip periph-
eral, the I/O pin is automatically configured in out-
put mode (push-pull or open drain according to the
peripheral).
When the signal is going to an on-chip peripheral,
the I/O pin must be configured in input mode. In
this case, the pin state is also digi tally readab le by
addressing th e DR re gis te r.
Note: Input pull-up configuration can cause unex-
pected value at the input of the alternate peripheral
input. When an on- chip peripheral use a pin as in-
put and output, this pin has to be configured in in-
put floating mode.

CAUTION: The alternate function must not be ac-
tivated as long as the pin is configured as input
with interrupt, in order to avoid generating spurious
interrupts.
Analog alternate function
When the pin is used as an ADC input, the I/O
must be configured as floating input. The analog
multiplexer (controlled by the ADC registers)
switches the analog voltage pr esent on th e select-
ed pin to the common an alog rail which is connect-
ed to the ADC input.
It is recommended not to change the voltage level
or loading on any port pin while conversion is in
progress. Furthermore it is recommended not to
have clocking pins located close to a selected an-
alog pin.
WARNING: The analog input voltage level must
be within the limits stated in the absolute maxi-
mum ratings.
9.3 I/O PORT IMPLEMENTATION
The hardware implementation o n each I/O port de-
pends on the settings in the DDR and OR registers
and specific feature of the I/O port such as ADC In-
put or true open drain.
Switching these I/O ports from one state to anoth-
er should be done in a sequence that prevents un-
wanted side effects. Recommended safe transi-
tions are illustrated in Figure 31 Other transitions
are potentially risky and should be avoided, since
they are likely to present unwanted side-effects
such as spurious interrupt generation.

9.5 INTERRUPTS
The external interrupt event generates an interrupt
if the corresponding configuration is selected with
DDR and OR registers and the interrupt mask in
the CC register is not active (RIM instruction).

10 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
10.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)
10.1.1 Introduction
The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occur-
rence of a software f ault , usually ge ner at ed by e x-
ternal interference or by unforeseen logical condi-
tions, which causes the application program to
abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir-
cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a pro-
grammed time period , unless the program refresh-
es the counter’s contents before the T6 bit be-
comes cleared.
10.1.2 Main Features
Programmable free-running downcounter
Programmable reset
Reset (if watchdog activated) when the T6 bit
reaches zero
Optional reset on HALT instruction
(configurable by optio n byte)
Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte
10.1.3 Functional Description
The counter value stored in the Watchdog Control
register (WDGCR bits T[6:0]), is decremented
every 16384 fOSC2 cycles (approx.), and the
length of the timeout period can be programmed
by the user in 64 increments.
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)
and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over
from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates
a reset cycle pulling low the reset pin for typically
500ns.
The application program must write in the
WDGCR register at regular intervals during normal
operation to prevent an MCU reset. This down-
counter is free-running: it counts down even if the
watchdog is disabled. Th e value to be stored in the
WDGCR register must be between FFh and C0h:
The WDGA bit is set (watchdog enabled)
The T6 bit is set to preve nt g enera tin g an im me-
diate reset
The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increments
which represents the time delay before the
watchdog produces a reset (see Figure 33. Ap-
proximate Timeout Duration). The timing varies
between a minim um an d a ma xim u m valu e du e
to the unknown st atus of the prescaler when writ-
ing to the WDGCR register (see Figure 34).
Following a reset, the watchdog is disabled. Once
activated it cannot be disabled, except by a reset.
The T6 bit can be used to generate a software re-
set (the WDGA bit is set a nd the T6 bit is cleared) .
If the watchdog is activated, the HALT instruction
will generate a Reset.

Figure 33 shows the linear relationship between
the 6-bit value to be loaded in the Watchdog Coun-
ter (CNT) and the r esulting timeou t duration in mil-
liseconds. This can be used for a quick calculation
without taking the timing variations into account. If
more precision is need ed, use the f ormulae in Fig-
ure 34.
Caution: When writing to the WDGCR registe r, al-
ways write 1 in the T6 bit to avoid generating an
immediate reset.

able to generate a watchdog reset until the MCU receives an external inter-
rupt or a reset.
If an external interrupt is received, the Watchdog restarts counting after 256
or 4096 CPU clocks. If a reset is generated, the Watchdog is disabled (reset
state) unless Hardware Watchdog is selected by option byte. For applica-
tion recommendations see Section 10.1.7 below.

10.2 MAIN CLOCK CONTROLLER WITH REAL TIME CLOCK AND BEEPER (MCC/RTC)
The Main Clock Controller consists of three differ-
ent functions:
a programm ab le CPU clo ck pr es ca ler
a clock-out signal to supply external devices
a real time clock timer with interrupt capability
Each function can be used independently and si-
multaneously.
10.2.1 Programmable CPU Clock Prescaler
The programmable CPU clock prescaler supplies
the clock for the ST 7 CPU and its internal periph-
erals. It manages SLO W power saving mode (See
Section 8.2 SLOW MODE for more details).
The prescaler selects the fCPU main clock fre quen-
cy and is controlled by three bits in the MCCSR
register: CP[1:0] and SMS.
10.2.2 Clock- out Capability
The clock-out capability is an alternate function of
an I/O port pin that outputs a fCPU clock to drive
external devices. It is controlled by the MCO bit in
the MCCSR register.
CAUTION: When selected, the clock out pin sus-
pends the clock during ACTIVE-HALT mode.
10.2.3 Real Time Clock Timer (RTC)
The counter of the real time clock timer allows an
interrupt to be generated based on an accurate
real time clock. Four different time bases depend-
ing directly on fOSC2 are available. The whole
functionality is controlled by four bits of the MCC-
SR register: TB[1:0], OIE and OIF.
When the RTC interrupt is enabled (OIE bit set),
the ST7 enters ACTIVE-HALT mode when the
HALT instruction is executed. See Se ction 8.4 AC-
TIVE-HALT AND HALT MODES for more details.
10.2.4 Beeper
The beep function is controlled by the MCCBCR
register. I t can output three select able freque ncies
on the BEEP pin (I/O port alternate function).

10.2.6 Interrupts
The MCC/RTC interrupt event generates an inter-
rupt if the OIE bit of th e MCCSR register is set and
the interrupt mask in the CC register is not active
(RIM instruction).
Note:
The MCC/RTC interrupt wakes up the MCU from
ACTIVE-HALT mode, not from HALT mode.

Bit 3:2 = TB[1:0] Time base control
These bits select the programmable divider time
base. They are set and cleared by software.
A modification of the time base is taken into ac-
count at the end of the current period (previously

use this time base as a real time clock.
Bit 1 = OIE Oscillator interrupt enable
This bit set and cleared by software.
0: Oscillator interrupt disabled
1: Oscillator interrupt enabled
This interrupt can be used to exit from ACTIVE-
HALT mode.
When this bit is set, calling the ST7 software HALT
instruction enters the ACTIVE-HALT power saving
mode.

10.3 PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (ART)
10.3.1 Introduction
The Pulse Width Modulated Auto-Reload Timer
on-chip peripheral consists of an 8-bit auto reload
counter with compare/capture capabilities and of a
7-bit prescaler clock source.
These resources allow five possible operating
modes:
Generation of up to 4 independe nt PWM sign als
Output compare and Time base inter rupt
Up to two input capture functions
Exte rn al ev en t de te cto r
Up to two external interrupt sources
The three first modes can be used together with a
single counter frequency.
The timer can be used to wake up the MCU from
WAIT and HALT modes.

10.3.2 Functional Description
Counter
The free runni ng 8- bit counte r is fe d by the out put
of the prescaler, and is incremented on every ris-
ing edge of the clock signal.
It is possible to read or write the contents of the
counter on the fly by re ading or writing the Counter
Access register (ARTCAR).
When a counter overflow occurs, the counter is
automatically reloaded with the contents of the
ARTARR register (the prescaler is not affected).
Counter clock and prescaler
The counter clock frequency is given by:
fCOUNTER = fINPUT / 2CC[2:0]
The timer counter’s input clock (fINPUT) feeds the
7-bit programmable prescaler, which selects one
of the 8 available taps of th e pr es ca ler , as de fin e d
by CC[2:0] bits in the Control/Status Register
(ARTCSR). Thus the division factor of the prescal-
er can be set to 2n (where n = 0, 1,..7).
This fINPUT frequency source is selected through
the EXCL bit of the ARTCSR register and can be
either the fCPU or an external input frequency fEXT.
The clock input to the counter is enabled by the
TCE (Timer Counter Enable) bit in the ARTCSR
register. When TCE is reset, the counter is
stopped and the prescaler and counter contents
are frozen. When TCE is set, the counter runs at
the rate of the selected clock source.
Counter and Prescaler Initializat ion
After RESET, the counter and the prescaler are
cleared and fINPUT = fCPU.
The counter can be initialized by:
Writing to the ARTARR register and then set ting
the FCRL (Force Counter Re-Load) and the TCE
(Timer Counter Enable) bits in the ARTCSR reg-
ister.
Writing to the ARTCAR counter access register,
In both cases the 7-bit prescaler is also cleared,
whereupon counting will start from a known value.
Direct access to the prescaler is not possible.
Output compare control
The timer compare funct ion is based on four differ-
ent comparisons with the counter (one for each
PWMx output). Each comparison is made be-
tween the counter value and an output compare
register (OCRx) value. This OCRx register can not
be accessed directly, it is loaded from the du ty cy-
cle register (PWMDCRx) at each overflow of the
counter.
This double buffering method avoids glitch gener-
ation when changing the duty cycle on the fly.

PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (Cont’d)
Independent PWM signal generation
This mode allows up to four Pulse Width Modulat-
ed signals to be generated on the PWMx output
pins with minimum core processing overhead.
This function is stopped during HALT mode.
Each PWMx output signal can be selected inde-
pendently using the corresponding OEx bit in the
PWM Control register (PWMCR). When this bit is
set, the corr esponding I/O pin is configured as out-
put push-pull alternate function.
The PWM signals all have the same frequency
which is controlled by the counter period and the
ARTARR register value.
fPWM = fCOUNTER / (256 - ARTARR)
When a counter overflow occurs, the PWMx pin
level is changed depending on the corresponding
OPx (output polarity) bit in the PWMCR register.
When the counter reaches the value contained in
one of the output compare register (OCRx) the
corresponding PWMx pin le vel is restored.
It should be noted that the reload values will also
affect the value an d the resolution of the duty cycle
of the PWM output signal. To obtain a signal on a
PWMx pin, the contents of the OCRx registe r must
be greater than the contents of the ARTARR reg-
ister.
The maximum available resolution for the PWMx
duty cycle is:
Resolution = 1 / (256 - ARTARR)
Note: To get the maximum resolution (1/256), the
ARTARR register must be 0. With this maximum
resolution, 0% and 100% can be obtained by
changing the polarity.

PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (Cont’d)
Output compare and Time base interrupt
On overflow, the OVF flag of the ARTCSR register
is set and an overf low interrupt request is gene rat-
ed if the overflow interrupt enable bit, OIE, in the
ARTCSR register, is set. The OVF f lag must be re-
set by the user software. This interrupt can be
used as a time base in the application.
External clock and event detector mode
Using the fEXT external prescaler input clock, the
auto-reload time r can be used as an external clock
event detector. In this mode, the ARTARR register
is used to select the nEVENT number of events to
be counted before setting the OVF flag.
nEVENT = 256 - ARTARR
Caution: The exte rn al cl ock f un ction is no t availa-
ble in HALT mode. If HALT mode is used in the ap-
plication, prior to executing the HALT instruction,
the counte r must be disabled by clearing the TCE
bit in the ARTCSR register to avoid spurio us coun-
ter increments.

PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (Cont’d)
Input capture function
This mode allows the measurement of external
signal pulse widths through ARTICRx registers.
Each input capt ure can generate an in terrupt inde-
pendently on a selected input signal transition.
This event is flagged by a set of the correspon ding
CFx bits of the Input Capture Control/Status regis-
ter (ARTICCSR).
These input capture interrupts are enabled
through the CIEx bits of th e ARTICCSR register.
The active transition (falling or ri sing edge) is soft-
ware programmable through the CSx bits of the
ARTICCSR register.
The read only input capture registers (ARTICRx)
are used to latch the auto-reload counter value
when a transition is detected on the ARTICx pin
(CFx bit set in ARTICCSR regist er). After fetching
the interrupt vector, the CFx flags can be read to
identify the interrupt source.
Note: After a capture detection, data transfer in
the ARTICRx register is inhibited until it is read
(clearing the CFx bit).
The timer interrupt remains pending while the CFx
flag is set when the interrupt is enabled (CIEx bit
set). This means, the ARTICRx register has to be
read at each capture eve nt to clear the CFx flag.
The timing resolutio n is given by auto-reloa d coun-
ter cycle time (1/fCOUNTER).
Note: During HALT mode, if both input capture
and external clock are enabled, the ARTICRx reg-
ister value is not guaranteed if the input capture
pin and the external cloc k change simultaneously.
External interrupt capability
This mode allows the Input capture capabilities to
be used as external interrupt sources. The inter-
rupts are generated on the edge of the ARTICx
signal.
The edge sensitivity of the external interrupts is
programmable (CSx bit of ARTICCSR register)
and they are independently enabled through CIEx
bits of the ARTICCSR register. After fetching the
interrupt vector, the CFx flag s can be read to iden-
tify the interrupt source.
During HALT mode, the external interrupts can be
used to wake up the micro (if the CIEx bit is set).

10.4 16-BIT TIMER
10.4.1 Introduction
The timer consists of a 16- bit free -r unn ing count er
driven by a prog ra m m ab le presca le r.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including
pulse length measurement of up to two input sig-
nals (input captur e) or ge neration of up to two out-
put waveforms (output compare and PWM).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be mod-
ulated from a few microseconds to several milli-
seconds using the timer prescaler and the CPU
clock prescaler.
Some ST7 devices have two on -chip 16-bit tim ers.
They are completely independent, and do not
share any resources. They are synchronized after
a MCU reset as long as the timer clock frequen-
cies are not modif ied.
This description cover s one or two 16- bit timers. In

10.4.3 Functional Description
10.4.3.1 Counter
The main block of the Programmable Timer is a
16-bit free running upcounter and its associated
16-bit registers. The 16-bit registers are made up
of two 8-bit registers called high & low.
Counter Register (CR):
Counter High Register (CHR) is the most sig-
nificant byte (MS Byte).
Counter Low Register (CLR) is the least sig-
nificant byte (LS Byte).
Alternat e Co un te r Reg ist er (A CR)
Alternate C ounter High Register (A CHR) is the
most significant byte (MS Byte).
Alternate Counter Low Register (ACLR) is the
least significant byte (LS Byte).
These two read-only 16-bit registers contain the
same value but with the difference that reading the
ACLR register does not clear the TOF bit (Timer
overflow flag), located in the Status register, (SR),
(see note at the en d of paragraph t itled 16-bit r ead
sequence).
Writing in the CLR register or ACLR register resets
the free running counter to the FFFCh value.
Both counters have a reset value of FFFCh ( this is
the only value which is reloaded in the 16-bit tim-
er). The reset value of both counters is also
FFFCh in One Pulse mode and PWM mode.
The timer clock depends on the clock control bits
of the CR2 register, as illustrated in Table 16 Clock
Control Bits. The value in the counter register re-
peats every 131072, 262144 or 524288 CPU clock
cycles depending on the CC[1:0] bits.
The timer frequency can be fCPU/2, fCPU/4, fCPU/8
or an external frequency.

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)
16-bit read sequence: (from either the Counter
Register or the Alternate Counter Register).
The user mus t rea d th e MS Byte f irst , the n the L S
Byte value is buffered automatically.
This buffered value remains unchanged until the
16-bit read sequence is completed, even if the
user reads the MS Byte several times.
After a complete reading sequence, if only the
CLR register or ACLR register are read, they re-
turn the LS Byte of the count value at the time of
the read.
Whatever the timer mode used (i nput capture, ou t-
put compare, one pulse mode or PWM mode) an
overflow occurs when the counter rolls over from
FFFFh to 0000h then:
The TOF bit of the SR register is set.
A timer interrupt is generated if:
TOIE bit of the CR1 register is set and
I bit of the CC register is cleared.
If one of these conditions is false, the interrupt re-
mains pending to be issued as soon as they are
both true.
Clearing the overflow interrupt request is done in
two steps:
1.Reading the SR register while the TOF bit is set.
2.An access (read or write) to the CLR register.
Notes: The TOF bit is not cleared by accesses to
ACLR register. The advantage of accessing the
ACLR register rather than the CLR register is that
it allows simultaneous use of th e overfl ow function
and reading the free running counter at random
times (for example, to measure elapsed time) with-
out the risk of clearing the TOF bit erroneously.
The timer is not affected by WAIT mode.
In HALT mode, the coun ter stops counting until the
mode is exited. Counting then resumes from the
previous count (MCU awakened by an interrupt) or
from the reset count (MCU awakened by a Reset).
10.4.3.2 External Clock
The external clock (where available) is selected if
CC0=1 and CC1=1 in the CR2 register.
The status of the EXEDG bit in the CR2 register
determines the type o f level transition on the exter-
nal clock pin EXTCLK that will trigger the free run-
ning counter.
The counter is synchronized with the falling edge
of the internal CPU clock.
A minimum of four falling edges of the CPU clock
must occur between two consecutive active edges
of the external clock; thus the external clock fre-
quency must be less than a quarter of the CPU
clock frequency.

10.4.3.3 Input Capture
In this section, the in dex, i, ma y be 1 or 2 because
there are 2 input capture functions in the 16-bit
timer.
The two 16-bit input capture registers (IC1R and
IC2R) are used to latch the value of the free run-
ning counter after a transition is detected on the
ICAPi pin (see figure 5).
ICiR register is a read-only register.
The active transition is software programmable
through the IEDGi bit of Control Registers (CRi).
Timing resolution is one count of the free running
counter: (fCPU/CC[1:0]).
Procedure:
To use the input capture functio n select the follo w-
ing in the CR2 register:
Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 16
Clock Control Bits).
Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP2 pin with the IEDG2 bit (the ICAP2 pin
must be configured as f loatin g input or input with
pull-up without interrupt if this configuration is
available).
And select the following in the CR1 register:
Set the ICIE bit to generate an interrupt after an
input capture coming from either the ICAP1 pin
or the ICAP2 pin
Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1pin must
be configured as floating input or input with pull-
up without interrupt if this configuration is availa-
ble).
When an input capture occurs:
– ICFi bit is set.
The ICiR register contains the value of the free
running counter on the active transition on the
ICAPi pin (see Figure 47).
A timer interrupt is generated if the ICIE bit is set
and the I bit is cle ared in the CC regis ter. O ther -
wise, the interrupt remains pending until both
conditions become true.
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (i.e.
clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the IC iLR register.
Notes:
1. After reading the ICiHR register, transfer of
input capture data is inhibited and ICFi will
never be set until the ICiLR register is also
read.
2. The ICiR register contains the free running
counter value which corresponds to the most
recent input capture.
3. The 2 input capture functions can be used
together even if the timer also uses the 2 output
compare functions.
4. In One pulse Mode and PWM mode only Input
Capture 2 can be use d.
5. The alternate inputs (ICAP1 & ICAP2) are
always directly connected to the timer. So any
transitions on these pins activates the input
capture func tion .
Moreover if one of the ICAPi pins is configured
as an input and the second one as an output,
an interrupt can be generated if the user tog-
gles the output pin and if the ICIE bit is set.
This can be avoided if the input capture func-
tion i is disabl ed by read ing the IC iHR (see note
1).
6. The TOF bit can be used with interrupt genera-
tion in order to measure events that go beyond
the timer range (FFFFh).

10.4.3.4 Output Compare
In this section, the in dex, i, ma y be 1 or 2 because
there are 2 output compare functions in the 16-bit
timer.
This function can be used to control an output
waveform or indicate when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the Output Com-
pare register and th e free running counter, the ou t-
put compare function:
Assigns pins with a prog rammable value if the
OCiE bit is set
Sets a flag in the status register
Generates an interru pt if enabled
Two 16-bit registers Output Compare Register 1
(OC1R) and Output Compare Register 2 (OC2R)
contain the value to be compared to the counter
register each timer clock cycle.
These registers ar e reada ble and wr itable and are
not affected by the timer hardware. A reset event
changes the OCiR value to 8000h.
Timing resolution is one count of the free running
counter: (fCPU/CC[1:0]).
Procedure:
To use the output compare function, select the fol-
lowing in the CR2 register:
Set the OCiE bit if an output is needed then the
OCMPi pin is dedicated to the output compare i
signal.
Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 16
Clock Control Bits).
And select the following in the CR1 register:
Select the OLVLi bit to applied to the OCMPi pins
after the match occur s.
Set the OCIE bit to generate an interrupt if it is
needed.
When a match is found between OCRi register
and CR register:
– OCFi bit is set.
– The OCMPi pin ta kes OLVLi bit value (OCMPi
pin latch is forced low during reset).
A timer interrupt is generated if the OCIE bit is
set in the CR1 register and the I bit is cleared in
the CC register (CC).
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-
ing application can be calculated using the follow-
ing formula:
Where:
t = Output compare period (in seconds)
fCPU = CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
PRESC = Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 de-
pending on CC[1:0] bits, see Table 16
Clock Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock, the formula
is:
Where:
t = Output compare period (in seconds)
fEXT = External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
Clearing the ou tp ut comp are int er ru pt re qu est ( i. e.
clearing the OCFi bit) is done by:
1. Reading the SR register while the OCFi bit is
set.
2. An acce ss (rea d or wr ite ) to t he OCiLR reg ist er .
The following procedure is recommended to pre-
vent the OC Fi bit from being set between the time
it is read and the write to the OC iR register:
Write to the OCiHR register (further compares
are inhibited) .
Read the SR register (first step of the clearance
of the OCFi bit, which may be already set).
Write to the OCiLR registe r (e na ble s th e ou tp ut
compare function and clears the OCFi bit).

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)
Notes:
1. After a processor write cycle to the OCiHR reg-
ister, the output compare function is inhibited
until the OCiLR register is also written.
2. If the OCiE bit is not set, the OCMPi pin is a
general I/O port and the OLVLi bit will not
appear when a match is found but an interrupt
could be genera ted if the OCIE bit is set.
3. When the timer clock is fCPU/2, OCFi and
OCMPi are set while the counter value equals
the OCiR register value (see Figure 49 on page
78). This behaviour is the same in OPM or
PWM mode.
When the timer clock is fCPU/4, fCPU/8 or in
external clock mode, OCFi and OCMPi are set
while the counter value equals the OCiR regis-
ter value plus 1 (see Figure 50 on page 78).
4. T he output compare functions can be use d both
for generating external events on the OCMPi
pins even if the input capture mode is also
used.
5. The value in the 16-bit OCiR register and the
OLVi bit should be changed after each suc-
cessful comparison in ord er to cont rol an outp ut
waveform or establish a new elapsed timeout.
Forced Compare Output capability
When the FOLVi bit is set by software, the OLVLi
bit is copied to th e OCMPi pin. The OLVi bit has to
be toggled in order to toggle the OCMPi pin when
it is enabled (OCiE bit= 1). The OCFi b it is then not
set by hardware, and thus no interrupt request is
generated.
The FOLVLi bits have no effect in both one pulse
mode and PWM mode.

10.4.3.5 One Pulse Mode
One Pulse mode enables the generation of a
pulse when an external event occurs . This mode is
selected via the OPM bit in the CR2 register.
The one pulse mode uses the Input Capture1
function and the Output Compare1 functi on.
Procedure:
To use one pulse mode:
1. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-
sponding to the length of the pulse (see the for-
mula in the opposite column).
2. Select the following in the CR1 register:
Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after the pulse.
Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin during the pulse.
Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1 pin
must be configured as floating input).
3. Select the following in the CR2 register:
Set the OC1E bit, th e OCMP1 pin is then ded-
icated to the Output Compare 1 function.
Set the OPM bit.
Select the timer clock CC[1:0] (see Table 16
Clock Control Bits).
Then, on a valid eve nt on the ICAP1 pin, the coun-
ter is initialized to FFFCh and OLVL2 bit is loaded
on the OCMP1 pin , the ICF1 bit is set an d th e va l-
ue FFFDh is loaded in the IC1R register.
Because the ICF1 bit is set when an active edge
occurs, an interrupt can be generated if the ICIE
bit is set.
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (i.e.
clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the IC iLR register.
The OC1R register value required for a specific
timing application can be calculated using the fol-
lowing formula:
Where:
t = Pulse period (in seconds)
fCPU = CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
PRESC = Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 de pend-
ing on the CC[1:0] bits, see Table 16
Clock Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:
Where:
t = Pulse period (in seconds)
fEXT = External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
When the value of t he counter is equal to the value
of the contents of the OC1R register, the OLVL1
bit is output on the OCMP1 pin, (See Figure 51).
Notes:
1. T he OCF1 bit canno t be set b y ha rd wa re in one
pulse mode but the OCF2 bit can generate an
Output Compare interrupt.
2. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.
3. If OLVL1=OLVL2 a continuous signal will be
seen on the OCMP1 pin.
4. T he ICAP1 pin can not be used to pe rform inp ut
capture. The ICAP2 pin can be used to perform
input capture ( ICF2 can be set a nd IC2R can be
loaded) but the user must take care that the
counter is reset each time a valid edge occurs
on the ICAP1 pin and ICF1 can also generates
interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When one pulse mode is used OC1R is dedi-
cated to this mode. Nevertheless OC2R and
OCF2 can be used to indicate a period of time
has been elapsed but cannot generate an out-
put waveform because the level OLVL2 is dedi-
cated to the one pulse mode.

10.4.3.6 Pulse Width Modulation Mode
Pulse Width Modulat ion ( PWM) m ode ena bles t he
generation of a signal with a frequency and pulse
length determined by the value of the OC1R and
OC2R registers.
Pulse Width Modulation mode uses the complete
Output Compare 1 function plus the OC2R regis-
ter, and so this functi onality ca n not be us ed when
PWM mode is activated.
In PWM mode, double buffering is implemented on
the output compare registers. Any new values writ-
ten in the OC1R and OC2R registers are taken
into account only at the end of the PWM period
(OC2) to avoid spikes on the PWM output pin
(OCMP1).
Procedure
To use pulse width modulat ion mode:
1. Load the OC2R register with the value corre-
sponding to the period of the signal using the
formula in the opposite column.
2. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-
sponding to the period of the pulse if (OLVL1=0
and OLVL2=1) using the formula in the oppo-
site column.
3. Select the following in the CR1 register:
Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with the OC1R register.
Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with the OC2R register.
4. Select the following in the CR2 register:
Set OC1E bit: t he OCMP1 pin is then ded icat-
ed to the output compare 1 function.
Set the PWM bit.
Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see T able 16
Clock Control Bits).
If OLVL1=1 and OLVL2=0 the length of the posi-
tive pulse is the d ifference between th e OC2R and
OC1R registers.
If OLVL1=OLVL2 a continuous signal will be seen
on the OCMP1 pin.
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-
ing application can be calculated using the follow-
ing formula:
Where:
t = Signal or pulse period (in seconds)
fCPU = CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
PRESC = Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 de pend-
ing on CC[1 :0] b its, se e Table 16 Clock
Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:
Where:
t = Signal or pu lse period (in seconds)
fEXT = External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
The Output Compare 2 event causes the counter
to be initialized to FFFCh (See Figure 52)
Notes:
1. After a write instruction to the OCiHR register,
the output compar e function is inhibit ed until the
OCiLR register is also written.
2. The OCF1 and OCF2 bits cannot be set by
hardware in PWM mode therefore the Output
Compare interrupt is inhibited.
3. The ICF1 bit is set by hardware when the coun-
ter reaches the OC2R value and can produce a
timer interrupt if the ICIE bit is set and the I bit is
cleared.
4. In PWM mode the ICAP1 pin can not be used
to perform input capture because it is discon-
nected to the ti mer. The I CAP2 pin can be used
to perform input capture (ICF2 can be set and
IC2R can be loaded) but the user must take
care that the counter is reset each period and
ICF1 can also generates interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.

WAIT No effect on 16-bit Timer.
Timer interrupts cause the device to exit from WAIT mode.

16-bit Timer registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until Halt mode is exited. Counting resumes from the previous
count when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability o r from the counter
reset value when the MCU is woken up by a RESET.
If an input capture event occurs on the ICAPi pin, the input capture detection circuitry is armed. Consequent-
ly, when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt wi th “ex it from HALT mode” capability, the ICFi bit is set, and
the counter value present when exiting from HALT mode is captured into the ICiR register.

10.4.7 Register Description
Each Timer is associated with three control and
status registers, and with six pair s of data registers
(16-bit values) relating to the two input captures,
the two output compares, the counter and the al-
ternate counter.

10.5 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
10.5.1 Introduction
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows full-
duplex, synchronous, serial communication with
external devices. An SPI system may consist of a
master and one or more slaves however the SPI
interface can not be a master in a multi-master
system.
10.5.2 Main Features
Full duplex synchronous transfers (on 3 lines)
Simplex synchronous transfers (on 2 lines)
Master or slave operation
Six master mode frequencies (fCPU/4 max.)
fCPU/2 max. slave mode frequency (see note)
SS Management by software or hardware
Programmabl e clock polarity and phase
End of transfer interrupt flag
Write collis ion, Mast er M ode Fault and Ove rru n
flags
Note: In slave mode, continuous transmission is
not possible at maximum frequency due to the
software ov erhead for clearin g status flags an d to
initiate the next transmission sequence.
10.5.3 General Description
Figure 53 shows the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) block diagram. There are 3 registers:
SPI Control Register (SPICR)
SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)
SPI Data Register (SPIDR)
The SPI is connected to external devices through
4 pins:
MISO: Master In / Slave Out data
MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data
SCK: Serial Clock out by SPI mast ers and in-
put by SPI slaves

–SS
: Slave select:
This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let
the SPI master commu nicat e with sla ves indi-
vidually and to avoid contention on the data
lines. Slave SS inputs can be driven by stand-
ard I/O ports on the master MCU.
10.5.3.1 Funct ional Description
A basic example of interconnections between a
single master and a single slave is illustrated in
Figure 54.
The MOSI pins are connected together and the
MISO pins are connected together. In this way
data is transferred serially between master and
slave (most significant bit first).
The communication is always init iated by the mas-
ter. When the master device transmits data to a
slave device via MOSI pin, the slave device re-
sponds by sending data to the master device via
the MISO pin. Th is implies full duplex communica-
tion with both data out and data in synchronized
with the same clock signal (which is provided by
the master device via the SCK pin).
To use a single data line, the MISO and MOSI p ins
must be connected at ea ch node ( in this case only
simplex communication is possible).
Four possible data/clock timing relationships may
be chosen (see Figure 57) but master and slave
must be programmed with the same timing mode.

10.5.3.2 Slave Select Management
As an alternative to using the SS pin to contro l the
Slave Select signal, the application can choose to
manage the Slave Select signal by software. This
is configured by the SSM bit in the SPICSR regis-
ter (see Figure 56)
In software management, the external SS pin is
free for other applicat ion uses and the inte rnal SS
signal level is driven by writing to the SSI bit in the
SPICSR register.
In Master mode:
–SS
internal must be held high continuously
In Slave Mode:
There are two cases depending on the data/clock
timing relationship (see Figure 55):
If CPHA=1 (data latched on 2nd clock edge):
–SS
internal must be held low during the entire
transmission. This implies that in single slav e
applications the SS pin either can be tied to
VSS, or made fre e f or st an da rd I/ O by mana g-
ing the SS function by software (SSM= 1 and
SSI=0 in the in the SPICSR reg ister)
If CPHA=0 (data latched on 1st clock edge):
–SS
internal must be held low during byte
transmission and pulled high between each
byte to allow the slave to wr ite to the shift re g-
ister. If SS is not pulled high, a Write Collision
error will occur when the slave writes to the
shift register (see Section 10.5.5.3).

10.5.3.3 Master Mode Operation
In master mode, the serial clock is output on the
SCK pin. The clock frequency, polarity and phase
are configured by software (refer to the description
of the SPICSR register).
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if
CPOL=0).
To operate the SPI in master mode, perform the
following steps in order (if the SPICSR register is
not written firs t, th e SPIC R re gis ter set tin g (M STR
bit) may be not take n into account):
1. Write to the SPICR register:
Select the clock frequency by configuring the
SPR[2:0] bits.
Select the clock polarity and clock phase by
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits. Figure
57 shows the four possible configurations.
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
2. Write to the SPICSR register:
Either set the SSM bit and set the SSI bit or
clear the SSM bit and tie the SS pin high for
the complete byte transmit sequence.
3. Write to the SPICR register:
Set the MSTR and SPE bits
Note: MSTR and SPE bits remain set only if
SS is high).
The transmit sequence begins when software
writes a byte in the SPID R register.
10.5.3.4 Master Mode Transmit Sequence
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and
then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin most sig-
nificant bit first.
When data transfer is complete:
The SPIF bit is set by hardware
An interrupt request is generated if the SPIE
bit is set and the interrupt mask in the CCR
register is cleared.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the
SPIF bit is set
2. A read to the SPIDR register.
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhib ited until the SPI CSR reg-
ister is read.
10.5.3.5 Slave Mode Operation
In slave mode, the serial clock is received on the
SCK pin from the master device.
To operate the SPI in slave mode:
1. Write to the SPICSR register to perform the fol-
lowing actions:
Select the clock polarity and clock phase by
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits (see
Figure 57).
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
Manage the SS pin as described in Section
10.5.3.2 and Figure 55. If CPHA=1 SS must
be held low continuously. If CPHA=0 SS must
be held low during byte transmission and
pulled up between each byte to let the slave
write in the shift register.
2. Write to the SPICR register to clear the MSTR
bit and set the SPE bit to enable the SPI I/O
functions.
10.5.3.6 Slave Mode Transmit Sequence
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and
then shifted out serially to the MISO pin most sig-
nificant bit first.
The transmit se qu e nce begins when the slav e de-
vice receives the clock signal and the most signifi-
cant bit of the data on its MOSI pin.
When data transfer is complete:
The SPIF bit is set by hardware
An interrupt reque st is gener ated if SPIE bit is
set and interrupt mask in the CCR register is
cleared.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the
SPIF bit is set.
2. A write or a read to the SPIDR register.
Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhib ited until the SPI CSR reg-
ister is read.
The SPIF bit can be cleared during a second
transmission; however, it must be cleared before
the second SPIF bit in orde r to prevent an Overrun
condition (see Section 10.5.5.2).

10.5.4 Clock Phase and Clock Polarity
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits (See
Figure 57).
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if
CPOL=0).
The combination of the CPOL clock polarity and
CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data capture
clock edge
Figure 57, shows an SPI transfer with the four
combinations of the CPHA a nd CPOL bits. The di-
agram may be interpreted as a master or slave
timing diagram where the SCK pin, the MISO pin,
the MOSI pin are directly connected between the
master and the slave device.
Note: If CPOL is changed at the communication
byte boundaries, the SPI must be disabled by re-
setting the SPE bit.

10.5.5 Error Flags
10.5.5.1 Mast er Mode Fault (MODF)
Master mode fault occurs when the master device
has its SS pin pulled low.
When a Master mode fault occurs:
The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt re-
quest is generated if the SPIE bit is set.
The SPE bit is reset. This blocks all output
from the device and disables the SPI periph-
eral.
The MSTR bit is reset, th us forcing the d evice
into slave mode.
Clearing the MODF bit is done through a software
sequence:
1. A read access to the SPICSR register while the
MODF bit is set.
2. A write to the SPICR register.
Notes: To avoid any conflicts in an application
with multiple slaves, the SS pin must be pulled
high during the MODF bit clearing sequence. The
SPE and MSTR bits may be restored to their orig-
inal state during or after this clearing sequence.
Hardware does not allow the user to set the SPE
and MSTR bits while the MODF bit is set except in
the MODF bit clearing sequence.
10.5.5.2 Overrun Condition (OVR)
An overrun condit ion occurs, when the master de-
vice has sent a data byte and the slave device has
not cleared the SPI F bit issued from the previously
transmitted byte.
When an Ov er ru n oc cu rs:
The OVR bit is set and an interrupt request is
generated if the SPIE bit is set.
In this case, the receiver buffer contains the byte
sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read to
the SPIDR register returns this byte. All other
bytes are lost.
The OVR bit is cleared by reading the SPICSR
register.
10.5.5.3 Write Collision Error (WCOL)
A write collision occurs when the software tries to
write to the SPIDR register while a data transfer is
taking place with an external device. When this
happens, the transfer continues uninterrupted;
and the software write will be unsuccessful.
Write collisions can occur both in master and slave
mode. See also Section 10.5.3.2 Slave Select
Management.
Note: a "read collision" will never occur since the
received data byte is placed in a buffer in which
access is always synchronou s with the MCU oper-
ation.
The WCOL bit in the SPICSR register is set if a
write collision occurs.
No SPI interrupt is generated when the WCOL bit
is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only).

10.5.5.4 Single Master Systems
A typical single master system ma y be configured,
using an MCU as the master and four MCUs as
slaves (see Figure 59).
The master device selects the individual slave de-
vices by using four pins o f a parallel po rt to contro l
the four SS pins of the slave devices.
The SS pins are pulled high during reset sin ce the
master device ports will be forced to be inputs at
that time, thus disabling the slave devices.
Note: To prevent a bus conflict on the MISO line
the master allows only one active slave device
during a transm ission.
For more security, the slave device may respond
to the master with t he received data byte. Then the
master will receive the previous byte back from the
slave device if all MISO and MOSI pins are con-
nected and the slave has not written to its SPIDR
register.
Other transmission security methods can use
ports for handshake lines or data bytes with com-
mand fields.

10.5.6 Low Po wer Modes
10.5.6.1 Using t he SPI to wakeup the MCU from
Halt mode
In slave configuration, the SPI is able to wakeup
the ST7 device from HALT mode through a SPIF
interrupt. The data received is subsequently read
from the SPIDR register when the software is run-
ning (interrupt vector fetch). If multiple data trans-
fers have been performed before software clears
the SPIF bit, then the OVR bit is set by hardware.
Note: When waking up from Halt mode , if the SPI
remains in Slave mode, it is recommended to per-
form an extra communications cycle to bring the
SPI from Halt mode state to normal state. If the
SPI exits from Slave mode, it returns to normal
state immediately.
Caution: The SPI can wake up the ST7 from Halt
mode only if the Slave Select signal (external SS
pin or the SSI bit in the SPICSR register) is low
when the ST7 enters Halt mode. So if Slave selec-
tion is configured as external (see Section
10.5.3.2), make sure the master drives a low level
on the SS pin when the slave enters Halt mode.
10.5.7 Interrupts
Note: The SPI interrupt events are connected to
the same interrupt vector (see Interrupts chapter).
They generate an interrupt if the corresponding
Enable Control Bit is set and the interrupt mask in
Mode Description
WAIT No effect on SPI.
SPI interrupt events cause the device to exit
from WAIT mode.
HALT
SPI registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the SPI is inactive. SPI oper-
ation resumes when the MCU is woken up by
an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” ca-
pability. The data received is subsequently
read from the SPIDR register when the soft-
ware is running (interrupt vector fetching). If
several data are received before the wake-
up event, then an overrun error is generated.
This error can be detected after the fetch of
the interrupt routine that woke up the device. Interrupt Event Event

DATA I/O REGISTER (SPIDR)
Read/Write
Reset Value: Undefined
The SPIDR register is used to transmit and receive
data on the serial bus. In a master device, a write
to this register will initiate transmission/reception
of another byte.
Notes: During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is
set, a copy of the received data byte in the shift
register is mo ved to a buff er. When th e user reads
the serial peripheral data I/O register, the buffer is
actually being re ad .
While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the SPIDR
register are inhibited until the SPICSR register is
read.
Warning: A write to the SPIDR register places
data directly into the shif t register for transmission.
A read to the SPIDR register returns the value lo-
cated in the buffer and not the content of the shift
register (see Figure 53).

10.6 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (SCI)
10.6.1 Introduction
The Serial Communications Interface (SCI) offers
a flexible means of full-duplex data exchange with
external equipment requiring an industry standard
NRZ asynchronous serial data format . The SCI of-
fers a very wide range of baud rates using two
baud rate generator systems.
10.6.2 Main Features
Full duplex, asynchronous communications
NRZ standard format (Mark/Space)
Dual baud rate generator systems
Independently programmable transmit and
receive baud rates up to 500K baud.
Programmable data word length (8 or 9 bits)
Receive buffer full, Transmit buffer empty and
End of Transmission flags
Two receiver wake-up modes:
Address bit (MSB)
Idle line
Muting function for multiprocessor configurations
Separate enable bits for Transmitter and
Receiver
Four error detection flags:
Overrun error
Noise error
Frame error
Parity error
Five interrupt sources with flags:
Transmit data register empty
Transmission complete
Receive data register full
Idle line received
Overrun error detected
Parity control:
Transmits parity bit
Checks parity of received data byte
Reduced power consumption mode
10.6.3 General Description
The interface is externally connected to another
device by two pins (see Figure 61):
TDO: Transmit Data Output. Whe n the tr an smit -
ter and the receiver are disabled, the output pin
returns to its I/O port configuration. When the
transmitter and/or the receiver are enabled and
nothing is to be transmitted, the TDO pin is at
high level.
RDI: Receive Data Input is the serial da ta input .
Oversamplin g tec hn iq ue s ar e used for data re-
covery by discriminati ng between valid incoming
data and noise.
Through these pins, serial data is transmitted and
received as frames comprising:
An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception
A start bit
A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first
A Stop bit indicating that the frame is complete.
This interface uses two types of baud rate generator:
A conventional type for commonly-used baud
rates,
An extended type with a prescaler offering a very
wide range of baud rates even with non-standard
oscillator frequencies.

10.6.4 Functional Description
The block diagram of the Serial Control Interface,
is shown in Figure 60. It contains 6 dedicated reg-
isters:
Two control registers (SCICR1 & SCICR2)
A status register (SCISR)
A baud rate register (SCIBRR)
An extended prescaler receiver r egister (SCIER-
PR)
An extended prescaler transmitter register (SCI-
ETPR)
Refer to the register descriptions in Section
10.6.7for the definitions of each bit.
10.6.4.1 Serial Data Format
Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9
bits by programming the M bit in the SCICR1 reg-
ister (see Figure 60).
The TDO pin is in low state during t he start bit.
The TDO pin is in high state during the stop bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame
of “1”s followed by the start bit of the next frame
which contains data.
A Break cha racter is interprete d on receiving “0 ”s
for some multiple of the frame period. At the end of
the last break frame the transmitter inserts an ex-
tra “1” bit to acknowledge the start bit.
Transmission and reception are driven by their
own baud rate generator.

10.6.4.2 Transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of eithe r 8 or
9 bits depending on the M bit status. When the M
bit is set, word length is 9 bits and the 9th bit (the
MSB) has to be st ored in the T8 bit in the SCICR1
register.
Character Tran smission
During an SCI transmission, data shifts out least
significant bit first on the TDO pin. In this mode,
the SCIDR register consists of a buffer (TDR) be-
tween the interna l bus and th e tr ansm it shif t regi s-
ter (see Figure 60).
Procedure
Select the M bit to define the word length.
Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR
and the SCIETPR registers.
Set the TE bit to assign the TDO pin to the alte r-
nate function and to send a idle frame as first
transmission.
Access the SCISR register and write the dat a to
send in the SCIDR register (this sequence clears
the TDRE bit). Repe at this sequence for each
data to be transmitted.
Clearing th e TDRE bit is always perfor med by th e
following softw ar e sequ e nc e:
1. An access to the SCIS R regi st er
2. A write to the SCIDR register
The TDRE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
The TDR register is empty.
The data transfer is beginning.
The next data can be written in the SCIDR regis-
ter without overwriting the previous data.
This flag generates an interrupt if the TIE bit is set
and the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
When a transmission is taking place, a write in-
struction to the SCIDR register stores the data in
the TDR register and which is copied in the shift
register at the end of the current transmission.
When no transmission is taking place, a write in-
struction to the SCIDR register places the data di-
rectly in the shift register, the data transmission
starts, and the TDRE bit is immediately set.
When a frame transmission is complete (after the
stop bit or after the break frame) the TC bit is set
and an interrupt is generated if the TCIE is se t and
the I bit is cleared in th e CCR register.
Clearing the TC bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A write to the SCIDR register
Note: The TDRE and TC bits are cleared by the
same software sequence.
Break Characters
Setting the SBK bit loads the shift register with a
break character. The break frame length depends
on the M bit (see Figure 61).
As long as the SBK bit is set, the SCI send break
frames to the TDO pin. After clearing this bit by
software the SCI insert a logic 1 bit at the end of
the last break frame to guarantee the recognition
of the start bit of the next frame.
Idle Characters
Setting the TE bit drives the SCI to send an idle
frame before the first data frame.
Clearing and t hen setting the TE bit dur ing a trans-
mission sends an idle frame after the curren t word.
Note: Resetting and setting the TE bit causes the
data in the TDR register to be lost. Therefore the
best time to toggle the TE bit is when the TDRE bit
is set i.e. before writing the next byte in the SCIDR.

104/215
SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (Cont’d)
10.6.4.3 Recei ver
The SCI can receive data words of either 8 or 9
bits. When the M bit is set, word length is 9 bits
and the MSB is stored in the R8 bit in the SCICR1
register.
Character reception
During a SCI reception, data shifts in least signifi-
cant bit first thro ugh the RDI pin . In this mo de, the
SCIDR register consists or a buffer (RDR) be-
tween the inte rnal bus and the received shift r egis-
ter (see Figure 60).
Procedure
Select the M bit to define the word length.
Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR
and the SCIERPR registers.
Set the RE bit, this enables the receiver which
begins searching for a start bit.
When a character is received:
The RDRF bit is set. It indicates that th e content
of the shift register is transferred to the RDR.
An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
The error flags can be set if a fr ame error , noise
or an overrun er r or has been de te cte d durin g r e-
ception.
Clearing the RDRF bit is performed by the following
software sequence done by:
1. An access to the SCIS R regi st er
2. A read to the SCIDR register.
The RDRF bit must be cleared before the end of the
reception of the next ch aracter to avo id an overrun
error.
Break Character
When a break character is received, the SPI han-
dles it as a framing error.
Idle Character
When a idle frame is detected, there is the same
procedure as a dat a received cha racter plus an in-
terrupt if the ILI E bit is set and the I bit is cleared in
the CCR register.
Overrun Error
An overrun error occurs when a character is re-
ceived when RDR F has not been reset. Data can
not be transferred from the shift register to the
RDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not
cleared.
When a overrun error occurs:
The OR bit is set.
The RDR content will not be lost.
The shift register will be overwritten.
An interrupt is generat ed if the RIE bi t is set a nd
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
The OR bit is reset by an access to the SCISR reg-
ister followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
Noise Error
Oversampling techniques are used for data recov-
ery by discriminating between valid incoming data
and noise. Normal data bit s are co nsidered va lid if
three consecutive samples (8th, 9th, 10th) have
the same bit value, other wise the NF flag is set. In
the case of start bit dete ction, the NF fla g is set on
the basis of an algorithm combining both valid
edge detectio n an d thr ee sam ples (8t h, 9th, 10t h).
Therefore, to prevent the NF flag gett ing set during
start bit recep tion, there should be a valid edge de-
tection as well as three valid samples.
When noise is detected in a frame:
The NF flag is set at the rising edge of the RDRF
bit.
Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
SCIDR register.
No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interr u pt.
The NF flag is reset by a SCISR register read op-
eration followed by a SCIDR register read opera-
tion.
During reception, if a false start bit is detected (e.g.
8th, 9th, 10th samples are 011,101,110), the
frame is discarded and the receiving sequence is
not started for this frame. There is no RDRF bit set
for this frame and the NF flag is set internally (not
accessible to the user). This NF flag is accessible
along with the RDRF bi t when a next valid fr ame is
received.
Note: If the ap plication Start Bit is not long enough
to match the above requirements, then the NF
Flag may get set due to the short Start Bit. In this
case, the NF flag may be ignored by the applica-
tion software when the first valid byte is received.

Framing Error
A framing erro r is de te cte d wh en :
The stop bit is not recognized on reception at the
expected time, following either a de-synchroni-
zation or excessive noise.
A break is rec eiv ed .
When the fram in g error is detecte d:
the FE bit is set by hardware
Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
SCIDR register.
No interrupt is generated . However this bit ri ses
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The FE bit is reset by a SCISR register read oper-
ation followed by a SCIDR registe r read operation.
10.6.4.4 Conventional Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate for the receiver and transmitter (Rx
and Tx) are set independently and calculated as
follows:
with:
PR = 1, 3, 4 or 13 (see SCP[1:0] bits)
TR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,12 8
(see SCT[2:0] bits)
RR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128
(see SCR[2:0] bits)
All these bits are in the SCIBRR register.
Example: If fCPU is 8 MHz (normal mode) and if
PR=13 and TR=RR=1, the transmit and receive
baud rates are 38400 baud.
Note: the baud rate registers MUST NOT be
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is en-
abled.
10.6.4.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation
The extended prescaler option gives a very fine
tuning on the bau d rate, using a 255 value prescal-
er, whereas the conventional Baud Rate Genera-
tor retains industry standard software compatibili-
ty.
The extended baud rate generator block diagram
is described in the Figure 62.
The output clock rate sent to the transmitter or to
the receiver will be the output from the 16 divider
divided by a factor ran ging from 1 to 255 set in the
SCIERPR or the SCIE TPR reg iste r .
Note: the extended prescaler is activated by set-
ting the SCIETPR or SCIERPR register to a value
other than zero. The baud rates are calculated as
follows:
with:
ETPR = 1,..,255 (see SCIETPR register)
ERPR = 1,.. 255 (see SCIERPR register)
10.6.4.6 Receiver Muting and Wake-up Feature
In multiprocessor configurations it is often desira-
ble that only the intended message recipient
should actively receive the full message contents,
thus reducing redundant SCI service overhead for
all non addressed receivers.
The non addressed devices may be placed in
sleep mode by means of the mutin g function.
Setting the RWU bit by software puts the SCI in
sleep mode:
All the reception status bits can not be set.
All the receive interrupts are inhibited.
A muted receiver may be awakened by one of the
following two ways:
by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,
by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.
Receiver wakes-up by Idle Line detection when
the Receive line has recognised an Idle Frame.
Then the RWU bit is reset by hardware but the
IDLE bit is not set.
Receiver wakes-up by Address Mark detection
when it received a “1” as the most signif icant bit of
a word, thus indicating that the message is an ad-
dress. The reception of this particular word wakes
up the receiver, resets the RWU bit and sets the
RDRF bit, which allows the receiver to receive this
word normally and to use it as an address word.
Caution: In Mute mode, do not write to the
SCICR2 register. If the SCI is in Mute mode during
the read operation (RWU=1) and a address mark
wake up event occurs (RWU is reset) before the
write operation, the RWU bit will be set again by
this write operation. Consequently the address
byte is lost and t he SCI is not woken up from Mute
mode.

10.6.4.7 Parity Control
Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmis-
sion and parity checking in reception) can be ena-
bled by setting the PCE bit in the SCIC R1 register.
Depending on the frame length defined by the M
bit, the possible SCI frame formats are as list ed in
Table 20.
Table 20. Frame Formats
Legend: SB = Start Bit, STB = Stop Bit,
PB = Parity Bit
Note: In case of wake up by an address mark, the
MSB bit of the data is taken into account and not
the parity bit
Even parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain
an even number of “1s” inside the frame made of
the 7 or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is
equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Ex: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be
0 if even parity is selected (PS bit = 0).
Odd parity: the pa rity bit is calculat ed to obtain an
odd number of “1s” inside the fram e made of th e 7
or 8 LSB bits (depending on whethe r M is equal to
0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Ex: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be
1 if odd parity is selected (PS bit = 1).
Transmission mode: If the PCE bit is set then the
MSB bit of the data written in the data register is
not transmit te d bu t is cha nge d by the parity bit.
Reception mode: If the PCE bit is set then the in-
terface checks if the received data byte has an
even number of “1s” if even parity is selected
(PS=0) or an odd number of “1s” if odd parity is se-
lected (PS=1). If the parity check fails, the PE flag
is set in the SCISR r egister and an interrupt is ge n-
erated if PIE is set in the SCICR1 register.
10.6.4.8 SCI Clock Tol erance
During reception, each bit is sampled 16 times.
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is
considered as the bit value. For a valid bit detec-
tion, all the three samples should have the same
value otherwise the noise flag (NF) is set. For ex-
ample: if the 8th, 9th and 10th samples are 0, 1
and 1 respectively, then the bit value will be “1”,
but the Noise Flag bit is be set because the three
samples values are not the same.
Consequently, the bit length must be long enough
so that th e 8th, 9t h and 10t h samples have th e de-
sired bit value. This means the clock frequency
should not vary more than 6/ 16 (37.5%) within one
bit. The sampling clock is resynchronized at each
start bit, so that when receiving 10 bits (one start
bit, 1 data byte, 1 stop bit), the clock deviation
must not exceed 3.75%.
Note: The internal sampling clock of the microcon-
troller samples the pi n value on every fa lling edge.
Therefore, the internal sampling clock and the time
the application expect s the sampling to take place
may be out of sync. For example: If the baud rate
is 15.625 kbaud (bit length is 64µs), then the 8th,
9th and 10th samples will be at 28µs, 32µs & 36µs
respectively (the first sample starting ideally at
0µs). But if the falling edge of the internal clock oc-
curs just before the pin value changes, the sam-
ples would then be out of sync by ~4us. This
means the entire bit length must be at least 40µs
(36µs for the 10th sample + 4µs for synchroniza-
tion with the internal sampling clock).

10.6.4.9 Clock Deviation Causes
The causes which contribute to the total deviation
are:
–D
TRA: Deviation due to transmitter error (Local
oscillator error of the transmitter or the trans-
mitter is transmitting at a different baud rate).
–D
QUANT: Error due to the baud rate quantisa-
tion of the receiver.
–D
REC: Deviation of the local oscillator of the
receiver: This deviation can occur during the
reception of one complete SCI message as-
suming that the deviation has been compen-
sated at the beginning of the message.
–D
TCL: Deviation due to the transmission line
(generally due to the transceivers)
All the deviations of the system should be added
and compared to the SCI clock tolerance:
DTRA + DQUANT + DREC + DTCL < 3.75%
10.6.4.10 Noise Error Causes
See also description of Noise error in Section
10.6.4.3.
Start bit
The noise flag (NF) is set durin g start bit recept ion
if one of the following conditions occurs:
1. A valid falling edge is not detected. A falling
edge is considered to be valid if the 3 consecu-
tive samples before the falling edge occurs are
detected as '1' and, after the falling edge
occurs, during the sampling of the 16 samples,
if one of the samples numbered 3, 5 or 7 is
detected as a “1”.
2. During samplin g of th e 16 sa mples, if o ne of the
samples numbered 8, 9 or 10 is detected as a
“1”.
Therefore, a valid Start Bit must satisfy both the
above conditions to pre vent the Noise Flag getting
set.
Data Bits
The noise flag (NF) is set during normal data bit re-
ception if the following condition occurs:
During the sampling of 16 samples, if all three
samples numbered 8, 9 and10 are not the same.
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is
considered as the bit value.
Therefore, a valid Data Bit must have samples 8, 9
and 10 at the same value to prevent the Noise
Flag getting set.

10.7 I2C BUS INTERFACE (I2C)
10.7.1 Introduction
The I2C Bus Interface serves as an interface be-
tween the microcon trolle r and the ser ial I 2C b us . I t
provides both multimaster and slave functions,
and controls all I2C bus-specific sequencing, pro-
tocol, arbitration and timing. It supports fast I2C
mode (400kHz).

10.7.3 General Description
In addition to receiving and transm itting data, this
interface converts it from serial to parallel format
and vice versa, using either an interrupt or polled
handshake. The interrupt s are enabled or disabled
by software. The interface is connected to the I2C
bus by a data pin (SDAI ) and by a clock pin (SCLI).
It can be connected both with a standard I2C bus
and a Fast I2C bus. This selection is made by soft-
ware.
Mode Selection
The interface can operate in the four following
modes:
Slave transmitter/receiver
Master transmitter/receiver
By default, it operates in slave mode.
The interface automat ically switches from slave to
master after it generates a START condition and
from master to sla ve in case of arbitratio n loss or a
STOP generation, allowing then Multi-Master ca-
pability.
Communication Flow
In Master mode, it initiates a data transfer and
generates the clock signal. A serial data transfer
always begins with a start condit ion and ends with
a stop condition . Both start and stop conditions are
generated in master mode by software.
In Slave mode, the interface is capable of recog-
nising its own address (7 or 10-bit), and the Gen-
eral Call address. The General Call address de-
tection may be enabled or disabled by software.
Data and addre sses are transferred a s 8-bit bytes,
MSB first. Th e first byte(s ) following the st art con-
dition contain the address (one in 7-bit mode, two
in 10-bit mode). The address is always transmitted
in Master mode.
A 9th clock pulse follows the 8 clock cycles of a
byte transfer, dur ing which t he rece ive r must send
an acknowledge bit to the tra nsmitter. Refer to Fig-
ure 64.

I2C BUS INTERFACE (Cont’d)
Acknowledge may be enabled and disabled by
software.
The I2C interface address and/or general call ad-
dress can be selected by software.
The speed of the I2C interface may be selected
between Standard (up to 100KHz) and Fast I2C
(up to 400KHz).
SDA/SCL Line Control
Transmitter mode: the interface holds the clock
line low before transmission to wait for the micro-
controller to write t he byte in the Data Register.
Receiver mode: the interface holds the clock line
low after reception to wait for the micr ocontroller to
read the byte in the Data Register.
The SCL frequency (Fscl) is controlled by a pro-
grammable clock divider which depends on the
I2C bus mode.
When the I2C cell is enabled, the SDA and SCL
ports must be configured as floating inputs. In this
case, the value of the external pull-up resistor
used depends on the application.
When the I2C cell is disabled, the SDA and SCL
ports revert to being standard I/O port pins.

10.7.4 Functional Description
Refer to the CR, SR1 and SR2 registers in Section
10.7.7. for the bit definitions.
By default the I2C interface operates in Slave
mode (M/SL bit is cleared) except when it initiates
a transmit or receive sequence.
First the interface frequency must be configured
using the FRi bits in the OAR2 register.
10.7.4.1 Slave Mode
As soon as a start condition is detected, the
address is receiv ed from the SDA line an d sent to
the shift register; then it is compared with the
address of the interface or the General Call
address (if selected by software).
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, the comparison
includes the hea der sequence (11110xx0) and t he
two most significant bits of the address.
Header matc hed (10-bit mode only): the interfa ce
generates an acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is
set.
Address not matched: the interface ignores it
and waits for another Start condition.
Address matched: the interface generates in se-
quence:
Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set.
EVF and ADSL bits are set with an interrupt if the
ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits fo r a read of the SR1 reg-
ister, holding the SCL line low (see Figure 66
Transfer sequencing EV1).
Next, in 7-bit mode read the DR register to deter-
mine from the least significant bit (Data Direction
Bit) if the slave must enter Receiver or Transmitter
mode.
In 10-bit mode, after receiving the address se-
quence the slave is always in receive mode. It will
enter transmit mode on receiving a repeated Start
condition followed by the header sequence with
matching address bits and the least significant bit
set (11110xx1).
Slave Receiver
Following the address reception and after SR1
register has been read, the slave receives bytes
from the SDA line into t he DR register via the in ter-
nal shift register. After each byt e the interface gen-
erates in sequence:
Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
EVF and BTF bits are set with an interr upt if th e
ITE bit is set.
Then the inte rface wa its for a read of the SR1 reg-
ister followed by a read of the DR register, holding
the SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer se-
quencing EV2).
Slave Transmitter
Following the address reception and after SR1
register has be en read, the slave sends bytes from
the DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift
register.
The slave waits for a read of the SR1 register fol-
lowed by a write in the DR register, holding the
SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer sequencing
EV3).
When the acknowledge pulse is received:
The EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Closing slave communication
After the last da ta byte is transferred a Sto p Con-
dition is generated by the master. The interface
detects this condition and sets:
EVF and STOPF bits with an interrupt if the ITE
bit is set.
Then the inte rface wa its for a read of the SR2 reg-
ister (see Figure 66 Transfer sequencing EV4).
Error Cases
BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition
during a byte tr ansf er. In t his case, the EVF and
the BERR bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE
bit is set.
If it is a Stop then the interface discards the data,
released the lines and waits for another Start
condition.
If it is a Start the n the interface discards the data
and waits for the next slave address on the bus.
AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this
case, the EVF and AF bits are set with an inter-
rupt if the ITE bit is set.
The AF bit is clear ed by reading th e I2CSR2 reg-
ister. Howeve r, if re ad bef ore th e co mp le tio n of
the transmission, the AF flag will be set again,
thus possibly generating a new interrupt. Soft-
ware must ensure either that the SCL line is back
at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be able
to correctly handle a second in terr upt dur ing t he
9th pulse of a transmitted byte.
Note: In case of errors, SCL line is not held low;
however, the SDA line can remain low if the last
bits transmitted are all 0. While AF=1, the SCL line
may be held low due to SB or BTF flags that are
set at the same time. It is then necessary to re-
lease both lines by software.

How to release the SDA / SCL lines
Set and subsequently clear the STOP bit while
BTF is set. The SDA/SCL lines are released after
the transfer of the current byte.
SMBus Co mpatibility
ST7 I2C is compatible with SMBus V1.1 protocol. It
supports all SMBus adre ssing m odes, SMBus bus
protocols and CRC-8 packet err or checking. Refer
to AN1713: SMBus Slave Driver For ST7 I2C Pe-
ripheral.
10.7.4.2 Mast er Mode
To switch from default Slave mode to Master
mode a Start condition generation is needed.
Start condition
Setting the START bit while the BUSY bit is
cleared causes the interface to switch to Master
mode (M/SL bit set) and generates a Start condi-
tion.
Once the Start condition is sent:
The EVF and SB bits are set by hardware with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-
ter followed by a write in the DR register with the
Slave address, holding the SCL line low (see
Figure 66 Transfer sequencing EV5).
Slave address transmission
Then the slave address is sent to the SDA line via
the internal shift register.
In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is
sent.
In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the first byte
including the header sequence causes the follow-
ing event:
The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt
generation if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-
ter followed by a write in the DR register, holding
the SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer se-
quencing EV9).
Then the second a ddress byte is se nt by the inter-
face.
After completi on of this tran sfer (and ackno wledge
from the slave if the ACK bit is set):
The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt
generation if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master wa its for a r ea d of the SR1 r egis-
ter followed by a write in the CR r egister (for exam-
ple set PE bit), holding the SCL line low (see Fig-
ure 66 Transfer sequencing EV6).
Next the master must enter Receiver or Transmit-
ter mode.
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, to switch the
master to Receiver mo de, softwar e must genera te
a repeated Start condition and resend the header
sequence with the least significant bit set
(11110xx1).
Master Receiver
Following the address transmission and after SR1
and CR registers ha ve been accessed, the master
receives byt es from the SDA line into the DR reg-
ister via the internal shift register. After each byte
the interface generates in sequence:
Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with an in-
terrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the inte rface wa its for a read of the SR1 reg-
ister followed by a read of the DR register, holding
the SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer se-
quencing EV7).
To close the communication: before reading the
last byte from the DR register, set the STOP bit to
generate the Stop condition. The interface goes
automatically back to slave mode (M/SL bit
cleared).
Note: In order to generate the non-acknowledge
pulse after the last received data byte, the ACK bit
must be cleared just before reading the second
last data byte.

I2C BUS INTERFACE (Cont’d)
Master Transmitter
Following the addre ss transmission and after SR1
register has been read, the master sends bytes
from the DR register to the SDA line via the inter-
nal shift register.
The master waits f or a read of the SR1 reg ister fol-
lowed by a write in the DR register, holding the
SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer sequencing
EV8).
When the acknowledge bit is received, the
interface se ts:
EVF and BTF bits with an interrupt if the ITE bit
is set.
To close the communication: after writing the last
byte to the DR regi ster, set th e STOP bit to gene r-
ate the Stop condition. The interface goes auto-
matically back to slave mode (M/SL bit cleared).
Error Cases
BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition
during a byte tran sfer. In this case, th e EVF and
BERR bits are set by hardware wit h an inter rupt
if ITE is set.
Note that BERR will not be set if an error is de-
tected during t he fi r st or secon d pu lse of ea ch 9-
bit transaction:
Single Mast er Mo de
If a Start or St op is issued duri ng t he fi r st or se c-
ond pulse of a 9-bit transaction, the BERR flag
will not be set and transfer will continue however
the BUSY flag will be reset. To work around this,
slave devices should issue a NACK when they
receive a misplaced Star t or Stop. The reception
of a NACK or BUSY by the master in the middle
of communication gives the possibility to reiniti-
ate transmission.
Multimaster Mode
Normally the BERR bit wo uld be set whenever
unauthorized transmission takes place while
transfer is already in p rogress. However, an is-
sue will arise if an external master generates an
unauthorized Start or Stop while the I2C master
is on the first or second pulse of a 9-bit transa c-
tion. It is possible to work around this by polling
the BUSY bit during I2C master mode transmis-
sion. The resetting of th e BUSY bit can th en be
handled in a similar manner as the BERR flag
being set.
AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this
case, the EVF and AF bits are set by hardware
with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set. To resume,
set the Start or Stop bit.
The AF bit is clear ed by reading th e I2CSR2 reg-
ister. Howeve r, if re ad bef ore th e co mp le tio n of
the transmission, the AF flag will be set again,
thus possibly generating a new interrupt. Soft-
ware must ensure either that the SCL line is back
at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be able
to correctly handle a second in terr upt dur ing t he
9th pulse of a transmitted byte.
ARLO: Detectio n of an arbitra tion lost co nditio n.
In this case the ARLO bit is set by hardware (with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set and the interface
goes automatically back to slave mode (the M/SL
bit is cleared).
Note: In all these cases, the SCL line is not held
low; however, the SDA line can remain low due to
possible «0» bits transmit ted last. It is the n neces-
sary to release both lines by software.

Note:
When an AF event occurs, the SCL line is not

Bit 3 = STOPF Stop detection (Slave mode).
This bit is set by hardware when a Stop condition

the interface is disabled (PE=0).
After an ARLO event the interface switches back
automatically to Slave mode (M/SL=0).
The SCL line is not held low while ARLO=1.
0: No arbitration lost detected

Note:
In a Multimaster environment, when the interface

10.8 CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN)
10.8.1 Introduction
This peripheral is designed to support serial data
exchanges using a multi-master contention based
priority scheme as described in CAN specification
Rev. 2.0 part A. It can also be connected to a 2.0 B
network without problems, since extended frames
are checked for correctness and acknowledged
accordingly although such frames cannot be trans-
mitted nor rece ived. The same applies t o overload
frames which are recognized but never initiated.

10.8.3 Function al Descript io n
10.8.3.1 Frame Formats
A summary of all the CAN frame formats is given
in Figure 69 for reference. It covers only the stand-
ard frame format since the extended one is only
acknowledged.
A message begins with a start bit called Start Of
Frame (SOF). Th is bit is followed b y the arbitr ation
field which contains the 11-bit identifier (ID) and
the Remote Transmission Request bit (RTR). The
RTR bit indicates whet her it is a data frame or a re-
mote request fra me. A r emote request frame does
not have any data byte.
The control field contains the Identifier Extension
bit (IDE), which indicates standard or extended
format, a reserved bit (ro) and, in the last four bits,
a count of the data bytes (DLC). The data field
ranges from zero to eight bytes and is followed by
the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) used as a
frame integrity check for detecting bit errors.
The acknowledgement (ACK) field comprises the
ACK slot and the ACK delimiter. The bit in the ACK
slot is placed on the bus by the tr ansmitter as a re-
cessive bit (logical 1). It is overwritten as a domi-
nant bit (logical 0) by those receivers which have
at this time received the data correctly. In this way,
the transmitting node can be assured that at least
one receiver has correctly received its message.
Note that messages are acknowledged by the re-
ceivers regardless of the outcome of the accept-
ance test.
The end of the message is indicated by the End Of
Frame (EOF). The intermission field defines the
minimum number of bit periods separating con-
secutive messages. If there is no subsequent bus
access by any station, the bus remains idle.

tional blocks (refer to Figure 68):

10.8.3.3 Modes of Operation
The CAN Core unit assumes one of the seven
states described below:
STANDBY. Standby mode is entered either on a
chip reset or on resetting the RUN bit in the Con-
trol/Status Register (CSR). Any on-goi ng trans-
mission or reception op eration is no t interru pted
and completes normally before the Bit Time Log-
ic and the clock prescale r are tu rn ed off for mini-
mum power consumption. This state is signa lled
by the RUN bit being read-back as 0.
Once in standby, th e only event monitored is t he
reception of a dominant bit which causes a wake-
up interrupt if the SCIE bit of the Interrupt Control
Register (ICR) is set.
The STANDBY mode is left by setting the RUN
bit. If the WKPS bit is set in the CSR register,
then the controller passes through WAKE-UP
otherwise it enters RESYNC directly.
It is important to note that the wake-up mecha-
nism is software-driven and theref or e ca rr ies a
significant time overhead. All messages received
after the wake -up b it and befor e the cont roller is
set to run and has completed synchr onization
are ignored.
Note: Standby mode is not entered on resetting
the RUN bit in the Control/Status register (CSR) if
the CANRX pin is short ed to GND.
WAKE-UP. The CAN bus line is forced to domi-
nant for one bit time signalling the wake-up con-
dition to all othe r bus members.

RESYNC. The resynchronization mode is used
to find the correct entry point for starting trans-
mission or reception after the node has gone
asynchronous either by going into the STANDBY
or bus-off states.
Resynchronization is ach ieved when 128 se-
quences of 11 recessive bits have been moni-
tored unless the no de is not bus-off and the
FSYN bit in the CSR register is set in which case
a single sequence of 11 recessive bits ne eds to
be monitored.
IDLE. The CAN controller looks for one of the fol-
lowing events: the RUN bit is reset, a Start Of
Frame appears on the CAN bus or the DATA7
register of the currently active page is written to.
TRANSMISSION. Once the LOCK bit of a Buffer
Control/Status Register (BCSRx) has been set
and read back as such, a transmit job can be
submitted by writing to the DATA7 register. The
message with the highest priority will be transmit-
ted as soon as the CAN bus becomes idle.
Among those messages with a pending trans-
mission request, the highest priority is given to
Buffer 3 then 2 and 1. If the transmission fails due
to a lost arbitration or to an error while t he NRTX
bit of the CSR register is reset, the n a new trans-
mission atte mpt is perf ormed . This goes on until
the transmission ends successfully or until the
job is cancelled by unlocking the buffer, by set-
ting the NRTX bit or if the node ever enters bus-
off or if a hig her priority message becomes pend-
ing. The RDY bit in the BCSRx register, which
was set since the job was submitted, gets reset.
When a transmission is in progress, the BUSY bit
in the BCSRx register is set. If it ends successful-
ly then the TXIF bit in the Interrupt Status Regis-
ter (ISR) is set, else the TEIF bit is set. An
interrupt is gener ated in either case provid ed the
TXIE and TEIE bits of the ICR register are set.
Note 1: Setting the SRTE bit of the CSR register
allows transmitted messages to be simultane-
ously received when they pass the acceptance
filtering. This is particularly useful for checking
the integrit y of the communication pat h.
RECEPTION. Once the CAN controller has syn-
chronized itself onto the bus activity, it is ready
for reception of new messages. Every incoming
message gets its identifier compared to the ac-
ceptance filters. If the bitwise comparison of the
selected bits ends up with a match for at least
one of the filt ers then th at message is electe d for
reception and a target buffer is searched for. This
buffer will be the first one - order is 1 to 3 - that
has the LOCK and RDY bits of its BCSRx regis-
ter rese t.
When no such buffer exists then an overrun
interrupt is generated if the ORIE bit of the ICR
register has been set. In this case the identifi-
er of the last message is made available in the
Last Identif ier Register (LIDHR and LIDLR) at
least until it gets overwritten by a new identifi-
er picked-up from the bus.
When a buffer does exist, the accepted mes-
sage gets written into it, the ACC bit in the
BCSRx register gets the number of the match-
ing filter, the RDY and RXIF bits get set and an
interrupt is generated if the RXIE bit in the ISR
register is set.
Up to three messages can be automatically
received without intervention from the CPU
because each buffer has its own set of status
bits, greatly reducing the reactiveness require-
ments in the processing of the receive inter-
rupts.

ERROR. The error management as described in
the CAN protocol is completely handled by har d-
ware using 2 erro r counters which get increment-
ed or decremented according to the error
condition. Bot h of them may be read by the a ppli-
cation to determ in e the stability of th e ne twork.
Moreover, as one of the node status bits (EPSV
or BOFF of the CSR register) changes, an inter-
rupt is generated if th e SCIE bit is set in the ICR
Register. Refer to Figure 71.

10.8.3.4 Bit Timing Logic
The bit timing logic monitors the serial bus-line and
performs sampling and adjustment of the sample
point by synchronizing on the start-bit edge and re-
synchronizing on following edges.
Its operation may be explained simply when the
nominal bit time is divided into three segments as
follows:
Synchronisation segment (SYNC_SEG): a bit
change is expected to lie within this time seg-
ment. It has a fixe d length of one t ime quant a (1
x tCAN).
Bit segment 1 (BS1): de fines the location of the
sample point. It includes the PROP_SEG and
PHASE_SEG1 of the CAN standard. Its duration
is programmable bet ween 1 and 16 time qu anta
but may be automatically le ngthened to compen-
sate for positive phase drifts due to differences in
the frequency of the various nodes of the net-
work.
Bit segment 2 (BS2): de fines the location of the
transmit point. It represents the PHASE_SEG2
of the CAN standard . Its dur at ion is prog r am m a-
ble between 1 and 8 time quanta but may also be
automatically shortened to compensate for neg-
ative phase dr ift s .
Resynchronization Jump Width (RJW): de-
fines an upper bound to the amount of lengthen-
ing or shorteni ng of the bit segments. It is
programmable between 1 and 4 time quanta.
To guarantee the correct behaviour of the CAN
controller, SYNC_SEG + BS1 + BS2 must be
greater than or equal to 5 time quanta.
The CAN controller resynchronizes on recessive
to dominant edges only.
For a detailed descri ption of t he CAN resynchro ni-
zation mechanism and other bit timing configura-
tion constraints, please refer to the Bosch CAN
standard 2.0.
As a safeguard against programming errors, the
configuration of the Bit Timing Register (BTR) is
only possible while the device is in STANDBY
mode.

mission request is pending (LOCK = 1).
Cleared by software when LOCK = 0 to release
the buffer and to clear the corresponding RXIF bit
in the Interrupt Status Register.
Cleared by hardware when LOCK = 1 to indicate
that the transmission re quest has been serviced or
cancelled.
Bit 1 = BUSY Busy Buffer
Read Only
Set by hardware when the buffer is being filled
(LOCK = 0) or emp tied (LO CK = 1) a nd reset af ter
the 2nd intermission bit.
Reset by hardware when the buffer is not ac-
cessed by the CAN core for transmission nor re-
ception purposes.
Bit 0 = LOCK Lock Buffer
Read/Set/Clear
Set by software to lo ck a buffer. No more message
can be received into the buffer thus preserving its
content and making it availab le for transmission.
Cleared by software to make the buffer available
for reception. Cancels any pending transmission
request.
Cleared by hardware once a message has been
successfully transmitted provided the early trans-
mit interrupt mode is on. Left untouched othe rwise.
Note that in order to prevent any message corrup-
tion or loss of context, LOCK cannot be set nor re-
set while BUSY is set. Trying to do so will result in
LOCK not changing state.

10.8.5 List of CAN Cell Limitations
10.8.5.1 Omitte d SOF bit
Symptom:
Start of Frame (SOF) bit is omitted if transmission
is requested in the last Intermission bit.
Test Case:
5.3.1 10-Kbit St ress Test
Details:
The IUT is request ed to start transm ission immedi-
ately after the com pletion of the previou s transmis-
sion. The LT also starts its transmission and as-
serts the SOF bit just after the 3rd Intermissi on bit.
The IUT also starts transmission but omits the
SOF bit. The IUT wins the arbitration and contin-
ues the transmission. The frame is sent correctly.
Impact On The Application:
As this effect only occurs when the IUT detects a
SOF bit on the CAN bus, the fact that it omits its
own SOF bit has no impact on the commun ication.
10.8.5.2 CAN: CPU Write Access (More Than
One Cycle) Corrupts CAN Frame
Symptoms:
For CAN received messages the identifier high
byte or last data byte can be corrupted.
For CAN transmitted messages the 2nd data byte
can be corrupted.
Details:
The CAN transmit and receive buffers are imple-
mented as dual ported RAM. During the reception
of a CAN frame the CAN core writes the received
identifier and the data byte-by-byte in the corre-
sponding buffer.
IF the CAN bit t iming co nfigu rat ion is tBS2 < 5 time
quanta
AND
IF concurrently with the pCAN, the CPU executes
a write access to the dual port ed RAM using an in-
struction with more than one cycle access, e.g.
CLR, BSET, BRES
THEN the access conflict can lead to the corrup-
tion described in the symptoms paragraph above.
Impact On The Ap plica tion :
Several CAN frames with erroneous data or iden-
tifier will be received/transmitted.
Software Workaround:
Program tBS2 > 4 time quanta or, when accessing
the receive or transmit buffers, do no t us e th e cr it-
ical instructions which are:
BSET, BRES, CLR, CPL, DEC, INC, NEG, RLC,
SLL, SRL, RRC, SRA, SWAP.

10.8.5.3 Unexpec ted message trans mis si on
Symptom:
The prev ious messa ge rec eived b y pCAN, ev en if
this message did not pass the receive filter, will be
retransmitted by pCAN with a correct identif ier and
DLC but with corrupted data. The data bytes will
be a copy of the identifier bytes IDHR and IDLR in
the following repetitive pattern:
DATA_0 = IDHR
DATA_1 = IDLR
DATA_2 = IDHR
DATA_3 = IDLR
etc.
DATA_7 = IDLR
If no message has bee n re ceive d be fo re the pr ob-
lem occurs then identifier byte values are random
but the data bytes are in the same repetitive pat-
tern.
Details:
The buffers of the pCAN cell are configurable as
receive or transmit buffers. By default, all buffers
are configured in reception. To use a buffer to
transmit a CAN messag e the application has t o re-
serve this buffer for transmission by setting the
LOCK bit in the BCSR register. So the buffer is
then locked for a ny furt he r recept io n an d rese rved
for transmission.
Once a transmission has been requested by a
write access to data byte 7 of the buffer the appli-
cation might need to abort this transmission re-
quest. To do so, the application can reset the
LOCK bit in the BCSR register.
If the message is pending (RDY bit set) but not
currently being transmitted, then clearing the
LOCK bit will abort it immediately.
If the message is pending (RDY bit set) and cur-
rently being transmitted then the message will not
be interrupted but the CAN core will wait until the
end of this transmission attempt. Then software
must clear the LOCK bit again to abort the trans-
mission.
An unexpected transmis sio n ca n occ ur :
IF the application resets the LO CK bit
WHILE the CAN core is preparing the
transmission1) AND there is no other transm ission
pending in another buff er
THEN the LOCK bit is reset but the t ransmission is
not stopped. Instead the content of the page 0
buffer will be transmitted.
Impact On The Application:
pCAN will echo some messages sent by other
nodes. Identifier and DLC will be correct but data
are corrupted as described previously.
Note 1: The preparation lasts two bit times just be-
fore SOF, this is the critic al window during which
the LOCK bit must not be reset by the application.

Software Work-around - Devices with Hard-
ware Fix (ST72F521 rev “R”):
To implement a transmission abort under safe
conditions, the LOCK bit must not be reset during
the critical window (2 bit times). A new function
has been implemented in the MCU allowing the
application to synchronize the reset of the LOCK
bit (abort request) with the reset of the TXRQST bit
(internal signal) in the pCAN core.
The synchronization is done using the WKPS bit in
the CANCSR register, the function of this bit has
been modified and n o mo re Wake- up Pulse (d om-
inant bit) is sent on the CAN_TX signal when the
WKPS bit is set. This means the functionality de-
scribed in the datasheet is no longer applicable
(see Section 10.8.5.4).
To abort the transmission, f irst the application sets
the WKPS bit and polls it until it is set. The maxi-
mum time needed to set this bit is two CAN bit
times. Once the application has read the WKPS bit
as one, it can reset the LOCK bit to stop the cur-
rent transmission.
The abort is completed wh en the LO CK bit is read
back as zero by the application. Once the abort
has been completed, the application must reset
the WKPS bit to be able to transmit again. Of
course the transmit buffer must be in LOCK state
as usual before any transmission attempt.
The “C” code sequence below sh ows the software
work-around usin g the WKPS bit.
CANCSR |= WKPS; // Set WKPS bit
while(!(CANCSR & WKPS) );// Wait until WKPS bit is set
while( CANBCSR & LOCK )// Wait until abort has been confirmed
{
CANBCSR &= ~LOCK;
}
CANCSR &= ~WKPS; // Allow transmission again
CANBCSR |= LOCK; //Alloc buffer for next transmission

Software Work-a round - De vices with out Hard-
ware Fix:
To implement a transmission abort under safe
conditions, any reset of the LOCK bit during the
critical window (2 bit times) must be avoided. Two
different cases have to be considered, either the
pCAN enters standby mode after the abort, or the
abort is performed and pCAN keeps running.
Abort followed by STANDBY mode (RUN=0)
In this case, aborting the pending transmissions
can safely be done by first entering STANDBY
mode and then releasing the transmit buffers.
STANDBY mode is entered by resetting the RUN
bit in the CSR register and once the current trans-
mission attempt, even if it fails due to error or lost
arbitration, has been performed, pCAN enters
STANDBY mode (RUN=0). Once in STANDBY
mode the application can abort all pending trans-
missions by resetting the corresp onding LOCK bit.
Abort while staying in RUN mode (RUN=1)
Contrary to the STANDBY case described previ-
ously, in the RUN case the application has to han-
dle the error or arbitration lost conditions. In case
of transmission errors, causing the frame to be
transmitted again and again, the application must
set the NRTX bit in the CSR register. This will
cause pCAN to abort the transmission at the end
of the curren t att em p t.
In case of arbitration lost, setting the NRTX bit
does not abort the transmission, therefore the ap-
plication must reset the LOCK bit to abort the
transmission. To avoid r esetti ng the LO CK bit dur-
ing the critical t ime window, leading to th e problem
described at the start of this section, the applica-
tion must monitor the BUSY bit in the BCSR regis-
ter and reset the LOCK bit just after the falling
edge of the BUSY bit. The time between the falling
edge of the BUSY bit and the SOF of the next
transmission attempt is in any case long eno ugh to
guarantee that the LOCK bit is reset before the
critical time window.
The “C” code sequence below sh ows the software
work-around for both the error and arbitration lost
cases.
_asm("SIM\n"); // Mask interrupts
CANCSR |= NRTX; // Set non automatic retransmission bit
while(!(CANBCSR & BUSY) &&// Wait till BUSY bit is set
(CANBCSR & RDY) ); // or transmission done
while( CANBCSR & BUSY ); // Wait till BUSY bit is reset (falling edge)
if( CANBCSR & RDY )
{ // transmission still pending -> must be aborted
CANBCSR &= ~LOCK; //Arbitration lost => cancel transmission safe
l
while( CANBCSR & RDY );// Wait for unlock confirmed
CANCSR &= ~NRTX;// Reset NRTX bit once abort sequence done
_asm("RIM\n");
}
else
{ // No more abort required as RDY bit already reset
CANCSR &= ~NRTX;// Reset NRTX bit once abort sequence done
_asm("RIM\n"); // Enable interrupts

The figures below sh ow th e ab ort be havio ur in the
four possible cases.
Figure 76. Abort and successful transmission
In this case the abort requ est performed during the
transmission has no effect, as the first transmis-
sion is successful.
Figure 77. Abort and trans m ission delayed by
busy CAN bus
In this case the NR TX bit is set to ab ort the trans -
mission aft er the first attemp t. As the first at tempt
is successful the READY and BUSY bits are reset
by pCAN and the transmit buffer becomes empty.
An abort is no longer required.
Figure 78. Abort and err or during transmiss ion
In this case NRTX (abort request ) is set before the
error, thus pCAN resets READY and BUSY after
the error (the first attempt). The abort has been
successful an d th e tra n sm i t bu ffe r is empty.
Figure 79. Abort and arbitration lost
In this case the NRTX bit is set but has no effect,
as the previous transmission attempt failed due to
an arbitration lost. The application waits for the
falling edge of BUSY bit and checks that READY is
still set. This is the case, this means pCAN has lost
the arbitration and LOCK bit can be safely reset.
Abort is immediate and pCAN resets the READY
and BUSY bits.
Timing Considerations
As no interrupt signals tha t an abort has been suc-
cessful, the application has to wait until the trans-
mit buffer is empty (transmission has been aborted
or transmitted successfully). This time can vary
depending on the case in which the abort is per-
formed (arbitration lost, error or successful trans-
mission). To show the impact of the software work-
around on this timing behaviour Figure 80 and Fig-
ure 81 compare the reference behaviour (worst
case when abort is done by LOCK only) with the
behaviour when NRTX, BUSY and LOCK bits are
used.

The worst case is when the abort request is done
when the transmission has just started. In this
case the LOCK bit cannot be reset as long as the
BUSY bit is set, this means until the end of the
frame. So the application will wait for READY to be
reset during the whole frame and in this case the
worst case will be the longest frame the applica-
tion is expected to transmit.
Figure 81. Abort with the software work-around
- by NRTX, BUSY and LOCK
Using the software work-around the worst case
occurs in the arbit ration lost case. If th e abort is re-
quested just after pCAN has lost the arbitration
then the application has to wait for the next falling
edge of the BUSY bit before the LOCK bit can be
reset. If the next arbitration is won by pCAN then
the BUSY bit will be reset by the end of the suc-
cessful transmission. The longest time the applica-
tion has to wait in this case is the tim e of the long -
est message expected on the bus (minus identifi-
er) plus the longest message expected to be trans-
mitted by the application. This roughly double the
time the application may have to wait before the
abort sequence is performed.

10.8.5.5 Bus- off state not entered
Symptom:
pCAN does not enter bus-off state under certain
conditions. This is fixed in FLASH version of
ST72F521 starting from silicon Rev R and in ROM
version ST72521B starting from silicon Rev Y.
Details:
According to the CAN stan dard, pCAN is expected
to enter bus-off state when TEC (Transmit Error
Counter) is greater than 255.
But if REC (Receive Error Count er) is greater t han
127 (Error Passive State) pCAN does not enter
bus-off and the BOFF bit of the CSR register is not
set. To enter bu s-off, REC must decrease to a val-
ue lower than 128 , this is the case with any corr ect
reception even if the message is f iltered out.
As bus-off state is not entered and pCAN still at-
tempts to transmit its message, after the overflow
the TEC register continue s to increment as long as
transmission errors occur.
Impact on the application:
The application will not stop attempting to transmit
CAN messages, even when t he bu s- of f co nd itio ns
have been reached, until the transmission has
been successful or the value of REC becomes
lower than 128. However the application will not
disturb the communication of the other nodes on
the CAN network as pCAN is in Error Passive
State.

Workaround Description
The bus-off entry works correct ly in almost all cas-
es, only when REC is greater than 127 a bus-off
will not be recognized by pCAN. Therefore the
pCAN bus-off signalling (BOFF) is still used but it
needs to be complemented by monitoring TEC by
software.
To detect the b us-off conditio n by soft ware the ap-
plication has to monitor the value of the TEC reg-
ister periodically. An overflow signals a bus-off
condition. When a bus-off condition has been de-
tected the application must execute the following
sequence to recover fr om bus-off prop erly: the ap-
plication stops pCAN by clearing the RUN bit in the
CANCSR register resets all pending transmission
by clearing the LOCK bit in the BCSR reg iste r and
starts it again by setting the RUN bit.
To detect the bus-off condition properly, the TEC
monitoring period must be lower than the time be-
tween two overflows. As the problem only occurs
when pCAN is in Error Passive St at e (R EC > 1 27)
pCAN will continuously try to send a SOF followed
by an Error Passive Flag and a Suspend Trans-
mission. This leads to 26 (1 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 8) bit
times. Each time TEC is incremented by 8, hence
to reach 256 the sequence must be executed 32
times. Under these conditions the shortest se-
quence leading to a TEC overflow lasts 832 bit
times.
Depending on the baudrate the application will
have to adapt the monitoring period, for example
at 500kbps the period must be less than 1600us.
The ‘C’ code below shows an implementation ex-
ample of the monitoring sequence. This code is
called periodically as described above.
To detect the overflow, the test condition must
take into account that TEC might also have been
decremented due to a successful transmission. So
an overflow condition is detected:
IF the current TEC value is lower than the previous
TEC value
AND the difference is greater than the number of
possible successful transmissions during the mon-
itoring period.
In the example above, one message can be sent,
therefore one is added t o CANTECR.

10.9 10-BIT A/D CONVERTER (ADC)
10.9.1 Introduction
The on-chip Analog to Digit al Converter (ADC) pe-
ripheral is a 10-bit, successive approxima tion con-
verter with internal sample and hold circuitry. This
peripheral has up to 16 multiplexed analog input
channels (refer to device pin out description) that
allow the peripheral to convert the analog voltage
levels from up to 16 different sources.
The result of the conversion is stored in a 10-bit
Data Register. The A/D converter is controlled
through a Cont ro l/Sta tus Re gister.

10.9.3 Functional Description
The conversion is mono tonic, meaning that the re-
sult never decreases if the analog input does not
and never increases if the analog input doe s not.
If the input voltage (VAIN) is greater than VAREF
(high-level voltage reference) then the conversion
result is FFh in the ADCDRH register and 03h in
the ADCDRL register (without overflow indication).
If the input vo ltage (VAIN) is lower than VSSA (low-
level voltage reference) t hen t he conver sio n result
in the ADCDRH and ADCDRL registers is 00 00h.
The A/D converter is linear and the dig ital result of
the conversion is stored in the ADCDRH and AD-
CDRL registers. The accuracy of the conversion is
described in the Electrical Characteristics Section.
RAIN is the maximum recommended impedance
for an analog input signal. If the impedance is too
high, this will result in a loss of accuracy due to
leakage and sampling not being completed in the
alloted time.
10.9.3.1 A/D Conve r ter Configuration
The analog input ports must be configured as in-
put, no pull-up, no interrupt. Refer to the «I/O
ports» chapter. Using these pins as analog inputs
does not affect the ability of the port to be read as
a logic input.
In the ADCCSR register :
Select the CS[3:0] bits to assign the analog
channel to convert.
10.9.3.2 Starting the Conversion
In the ADCCSR register :
Set the ADON bit to enable the A/D converter
and to start the conversion. From this time on,
the ADC performs a continuous conversion of
the selected channel.
When a conversion is complete:
The EOC bit is set by hardware.
The result is in the ADC DR re gist er s.
A read to the ADCDRH re se ts th e EOC bit.
To read the 10 bits, perform the following steps:
1. Poll the EOC bit
2. Read the ADCDRL register
3. Read the ADCDRH register. This clears EOC
automatically.
Note: The data is not la tche d, so bo th t he low and
the high data reg ister must be read before t he next
conversion is complete, so it is recommended to
disable inter ru p ts wh ile re ad in g th e co nv er sio n re -
sult.
To read only 8 bits, perform the following steps:
1. Poll the EOC bit
2. Read the ADCDRH register. This clears EOC
automatically.
10.9.3.3 Changing the conversion channel
The application can change channels during con-
version. When software modifies the CH[3:0] bits
in the ADCCSR re gister , the cur rent co nver sion is
stopped, the EOC bit is cleared, and the A/D con-
verter starts converting the newly selected chan-
nel.
10.9.4 Low Power Modes
Note: The A/D converter may be disabled by re-
setting the ADON bit. This feature allows reduced
power consumption when no conversion is need-
ed and between single shot conversions.
10.9.5 Interrupts
None.
Mode Description
WAIT No effect on A/D Converter
HALT
A/D Converter disabled.
After wakeup from Halt mode, the A/D
Converter requires a stabilization time
tSTAB (see Electrical Characteristics)
before accurate conversions can be
performed.

11 INSTRUCTION SET
11.1 CPU ADDRESSING MODES
The CPU features 17 different addressing modes
which can be classified in 7 main groups:
The CPU Instruction set is designed to minimize
the number of byte s required per instruction: To do
so, most of the addressing modes may be subdi-
vided in two sub-modes called long and short:
Long addressing mode is more powerful be-
cause it can use the full 64 Kbyte address space,
however it uses more bytes and more CPU cy-
cles.
Short addressing mode is less powerful because
it can generally only access page zero (0000h -
00FFh range), but the instruction size is more
compact, and faster. All memory to memory in-
structions use sh or t ad dres s ing mo d es only
(CLR, CPL, NEG, BSET, BRES, BTJT, BTJF,
INC, DEC, RLC, RRC, SLL, SRL, SRA, SWAP)
The ST7 Assembler optimizes the use of long and
short addressing modes.

INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW (Cont’d)
11.1.1 Inherent
All Inherent instructions consist of a single byte.
The opcode fully specifies all the required informa-
tion for the CPU to pr ocess the operation.
11.1.2 Immediate
Immediate instructions have two bytes, the first
byte contains the opcode, the second byte con-
tains the operand value.
11.1.3 Direct
In Direct instruction s, the oper ands are ref erenced
by their memory address.
The direct addressing mode consists of two sub-
modes:
Direct (short)
The address is a byte, t hus re quires only on e byte
after the opcode, but only allows 00 - FF address-
ing space.
Direct (long)
The address is a word, th us allowing 64 Kbyte ad-
dressing s pace, but requ ires 2 bytes a fter the op-
code.
11.1.4 Indexed (No Offset, Short, Long)
In this mode, the operand is referenced by its
memory address, which is defined by the un signed
addition of an index regist er (X or Y) with an offset.
The indirect addressing mode consists of three
sub-modes:
Indexed (No Offset)
There is no offset, (no extra byte after the opco de),
and allows 00 - FF addressing space.
Indexed (Short)
The offset is a byte , thus requires only one byt e af-
ter the opcode and allows 00 - 1FE addressing
space.
Indexed (long)
The offset is a word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte ad-
dressing space and requires 2 bytes after the op-
code.
11.1.5 Indirect (Short, Long)
The required data byt e to do the operation is found
by its memory address, located in memory (point-
er).
The pointer address follows the opcode. The indi-
rect addre ssin g mod e co ns ists of two sub-mode s:
Indirect (short)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
byte, thus allowing 00 - FF addressing space, and
requires 1 byte after the opcode.
Indirect (long)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte addressing space,
and requir es 1 byte afte r th e opcode.

11.1.6 Indirect Indexed (Short, Long)
This is a combination of indirect a nd short in dexed
addressing modes. The operand is referenced by
its memory address, which is defined by the un-
signed addition of an index register value (X or Y)
with a pointer value located in memory. The point-
er address follows the opcode.
The indirect indexed addressing mode consists of
two sub-modes:
Indirect Ind exed (Short)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
byte, thus allowing 00 - 1FE addressing space,
and require s 1 byte after the op co de .
Indirect Ind exed (Long)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte addressing space,
and require s 1 byte after the op co de .

Addressing Modes
11.1.7 Relative mode (Direct, Indirect)
This addressing mode is used to modify the PC
register value, by adding an 8-bit signed offset to
it.
The relative addressing mode consists of two sub-
modes:
Relative (Direct)
The offset is following the opcode.
Relative (Indirect)
The offset is defined in memory, which address
follows the opcode.

INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW (Cont’d)
11.2 INSTRUCTION GROUPS
The ST7 family devices use an Instruction Set
consisting of 63 instr uctions. The instructions may be subdivided into 13 main groups as illustrated in
the following table:
Using a pre-byte
The instructions are describ ed with one to fo ur op-
codes.
In order to extend the number of available op-
codes for an 8-bi t CPU (256 opcodes), three differ-
ent prebyte opcodes are defined. These prebytes
modify the meaning of the instruction they pre-
cede.
The whole instruction becomes:
PC-2 End of prev iou s ins tru ct ion
PC-1 Prebyte
PC opcode
PC+1 Additional word (0 to 2) according
to the number of byt es required to compute the ef-
fective address
These prebytes enable instruction in Y as well as
indirect addressing modes to be implemented.
They precede the opcode of th e instr uction in X or
the instruction using direct addressing mode. The
prebytes are:
PDY 90 Replace an X based instruction
using immediate, direct, indexed, or inherent ad-
dressing mode by a Y one.
PIX 92 Replace an instruction using di-
rect, direct bit, or direct relative addressing mode
to an instruction using the corresponding indirect
addressing mode.
It also changes an instruction using X indexed ad-
dressing mode to an instruction using ind irect X in-
dexed addressing mode.
PIY 91 Replace an instruction using X in-
direct indexed addressing mode by a Y one.

Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are re-
ferred to VSS.
12.1.1 Minimum and Ma ximum values
Unless otherwise specified the minimum and max-
imum values are guaranteed in the worst condi-
tions of ambient temperature, supply voltage and
frequencies by tests in production on 100% of the
devices with an ambient temperature at TA=25°C
and TA=TAmax (given by t he selected temperature
range).
Data based on characterization results, design
simulation and/or technology characteristics are
indicated in the table footnotes and are not tested
in production. Based on characterization, the min-
imum and maximum values refer to sample tests
and represent the mean value plus or minus three
times the standard deviation (mean±3Σ).

12.2 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses above those listed as “absolute maxi-
mum ratings” may cause permanent damage to
the device. This is a stress rating only and func-
tional operation of the device under these condi-
tions is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
12.2.1 Voltage Characteristics
12.2.2 Current Characteristics
Notes:
1. Directly connecting the RESET and I/O pins to VDD or VSS could damage the device if an unintentional internal reset
is generated or an unexpected change of the I/O configuration occurs (for example, due to a corrupted program counter).
To guarantee safe operation, this connection has to be done through a pull-up or pull-down resistor (typical: 4.7k for
RESET, 10k for I/Os). For the same reason, unused I/O pins must not be directly tied to VDD or VSS.
2. IINJ(PIN) must never be exceeded. This is implicitly insured if VIN maximum is respected. If VIN maximum cannot be
respected, the injection current must be limited externally to the IINJ(PIN) value. A positive injection is induced by VIN>VDD
while a negative injection is induced by V IN<VSS. For true open-drain pads, there is no positive injection current, and the
corresponding VIN maximum must always be respected
3. All power (VDD) and ground (VSS) lines must always be connected to the external supply.
4. Negative injection disturbs the analog performance of the device. See note in “ADC Accuracy” on page 196.
For best reliability, it is recommended to avoid negative injection of more than 1.6mA.
5. When several inputs are submitted to a current injection, the maximum ΣIINJ(PIN) is the absolute sum of the positive
and negative injected currents (instantaneous values). These results are based on characterisation with ΣIINJ(PIN) maxi-
mum current injection on four I/O port pins of the device.
6. True open drain I/O port pins do not accept positive injection.

12.4 SUPPLY CURRENT CHARACTERISTICS
The following current consumption specified for the ST7 functional operating modes over temperature
range does not t ake into account the clock source cur rent consump tion. To get t he total device con sump-
tion, the two current values must be added (except for HALT mode for which the clock is stopped).
12.4.1 CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results, tested in production at VDD max. and fCPU max.
2. Measurements are done in the following conditions:
- Program executed from RAM, CPU running with RAM access. The increase in consumption when executing from Flash
is 50%.
- All I/O pins in input mode with a static value at VDD or VSS (no load)
- All peripherals in reset state.
- LVD disabled.
- Clock input (OSC1) driven by external square wave.
- In SLOW and SLOW WAIT mode, fCPU is based on fOSC divided by 32.
To obtain the total current consumption of the device, add the clock source (Section 12.4.2) and the peripheral power
consumption (Section 12.4.3).
3. All I/O pins in push-pull 0 mode (when applicable) with a static value at VDD or VSS (no load), LVD disabled. Data
based on characterization results, tested in production at VDD max. and fCPU max.
4. Data based on characterisation results, not tested in production. All I/O pins in push-pull 0 mode (when applicable) with
a static value at VDD or VSS (no load); clock input (OSC1) driven by external square wave, LVD disabled. To obtain the
total current consumption of the device, add the clock source consumption (Section 12.4.2).

12.5.3 Crystal and Ceramic Resonator Oscillators
The ST7 internal clock can be supplied with four
different Crystal/Ceramic resonator oscillators. All
the information given in this paragraph are based
on characterization results with specified typical
external components. In the application, the reso-
nator and the loa d capacitors have to be placed as
close as possible to the oscillator pins in order to
minimize output distortion and start-up stabiliza-
tion time. Refer to the crystal/ceramic resonator
manufacturer for more details (frequency, pack-
age, accuracy...).

12.5.5 PLL Characteristics
Note:
1. Data characterized but not tested.
The user must take the PLL jitter into account in the application (for example in serial communication or
sampling of high frequency signals). The PLL jitter is a periodic effect, which is integrated over several
CPU cycles. Therefore the longer the period of the application signal, the less it will be impacted by the
PLL jitter.
Figure 94 shows the PLL jitter integrated on application signals in th e range 125kHz to 4MHz. At frequen-
cies of less than 125KHz, the jitter is negligible.

12.7 EMC CHARACTERISTICS
Susceptibility tests are performed on a sample ba-
sis during prod u ct ch ar ac te riza tio n .
12.7.1 Functional EMS (Electro Magnetic
Susceptibility)
Based on a simple running application on the
product (toggling 2 LEDs through I/O ports), the
product is stresse d by two electro magnetic events
until a failure occurs (indicated by the LEDs).
ESD: Electro-Static Discharge (positive and
negative) is applied on all pins of the device until
a functional disturbance occurs. This test
conforms with the IEC 1000-4-2 standard.
FTB: A Burst of Fast Tr ansient voltag e (positive
and negative) is applied to V DD and VSS through
a 100pF capacitor , until a functional disturban ce
occurs. This test confor ms wit h the IEC 1000- 4-
4 standard.
A device reset allows normal operations to be re-
sumed. The test results are given in the table be-
low based on the EMS levels and classes defined
in application note AN1709.
12.7.1.1 Designing hardened software to avoid
noise problems
EMC characterization and optimization are per-
formed at component level with a typical applica-
tion environment and simplified MCU software. It
should be noted that good EMC performance is
highly dependent on the user application and the
software in particular.
Therefore it is recommended that the user applies
EMC software optimization and prequalification
tests in relation with the EMC level requested for
his application.
Software recommendations:
The software flowchart must include the manage-
ment of runaway conditions such as:
Corrupted program counter
Unexpected reset
Critic al Dat a co rr uptio n (c on tr ol re gisters...)
Prequal ifi ca ti o n tria ls :
Most of the common failures (unexpected reset
and program counter corruption) can be repro-
duced by manually forcing a low state on the RE-
SET pin or the Oscillator pins for 1 second.
To complete these trials, ESD stress can be ap-
plied directly on the device, over the range of
specification values. When unexpected behaviour
is detected, the software can be hardened to pre-
vent unrecoverable errors occurring (see applica-
tion note AN1015)
.

12.7.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings (Electrical
Sensitivity)
Based on three dif fe rent tests (ESD, LU and DL U)
using specific measurement methods, the product
is stressed in order to determine its performance in
terms of electrical sensitivity. For more details, re-
fer to the application note AN1181.
12.7.3.1 Electro-Static Dischar g e (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharges (a positive then a nega-
tive pulse separated by 1 second) are applied to
the pins of each sample according to each pin
combination. The sample size depends on the
number of supply pins in the device (3 parts*(n+1)
supply pin). Two models can be simulated: Hu man
Body Model and Machine Model. This test con-
forms to the JESD22-A114A/A115A standard.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results, not tested in production.
12.7.3.2 Static and Dynamic Latch-Up
LU: 3 complementary static tests are required
on 10 parts to assess the latch-up p erformance.
A supply overvoltage (applied to each power
supply pin) and a current injection (applied to
each input, output and configurable I/O pin) are
performed on each sample. This test conforms
to the EIA/JESD 78 IC latch-up standard. For
more details, refer to the application note
AN1181.
DLU: Electro-Static Discharges (one positive
then one negative test) are applied to each pin
of 3 samples when the micro is running to
assess the latch-up performance in dynamic
mode. Power supplies are set to the typical
values, the oscillator is connected as near as

Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results, not tested in production.
2. Hysteresis voltage between Schmitt trigger switching levels. Based on characterization results, not tested.
3. When the current limitation is not possible, the VIN maximum must be respected, otherwise refer to IINJ(PIN) specifica-
tion. A positive injection is induced by VIN>VDD while a negative injection is induced by VIN<VSS. Refer to section 12.2.2
on page 166 for more details.
4. Configuration not recommended, all unused pins must be kept at a fixed voltage: using the output mode of the I/O for
example and leaving the I/O unconnected on the board or an external pull-up or pull-down resistor (see Figure 95). Data
based on design simulation and/or technology characteristics, not tested in production.
5. The RPU pull-up equivalent resistor is based on a resistive transistor (corresponding IPU current characteristics de-
scribed in Figure 96).

the RESET pin with a duration below th(RSTL)in can be ignored.
5. The reset network (the resistor and two capacitors) protects the device against parasitic resets, especially in noisy en-
vironments.

CONTROL PIN CHARACTERISTICS (Cont’d)
Figure 103. RESET pin protection when LVD is enabled.1)2)3)4)
Figure 104. RESET pin protection when LVD is disabled.1)
Note 1:
The reset network protects the device against parasitic resets.
The output of the external reset circuit must have an open-drain output to drive the ST7 reset pad. Otherwise the
device can be damaged when the ST7 generates an internal reset (LVD or watchdog).
Whatever the reset source is (internal or external), the user must ensure that the level on the RESET pin can go
below the VIL max. level specified in section 12.9.1 on page 185. Otherwise the reset will not be taken into account
internally.
Because the reset circuit is designed to allow the internal RESET to be output in the RESET pin, the user must en-
sure that the current sunk on the RESET pin is less than the absolute maximum value specified for IINJ(RESET) in
section 12.2.2 on page 166.
Note 2: When the LVD is enabled, it is recommended not to connect a pull-up resistor or capacitor. A 10nF pull-down
capacitor is required to filter noise on the reset line.
Note 3: In case a capacitive power supply is used, it is recommended to connect a 1M pull-down resistor to the RESET
pin to discharge any residual voltage induced by the capacitive effect of the power supply (this will add 5µA to the power
consumption of the MCU).
Note 4: Tips when using the LVD:
1. Check that all recommendations related to reset circuit have been applied (see notes above).
2. Check that the power supply is properly decoupled (100nF + 10µF close to the MCU). Refer to AN1709 and
AN2017. If this cannot be done, it is recommended to put a 100nF + 1M pull-down on the RESET pin.
3. The capacitors connected on the RESET pin and also the power supply are key to avoid any start-up marginality.
In most cases, steps 1 and 2 above are sufficient for a robust solution. Otherwise: replace 10nF pull-down on the
RESET pin with a 5µF to 20µF capacitor.

Notes:
1. Any added external serial resistor will downgrade the ADC accuracy (especially for resistance greater than 10k). Dat a
based on characterization results, not tested in production.
2. For Flash devices: injecting negative current on any of the analog input pins significantly reduces the accuracy of any
conversion being performed on any analog input. Analog pins of flash devices can be protected against negative injection
by adding a Schottky diode (pin to ground). Injecting negative current on digital input pins degrades ADC accuracy espe-
cially if performed on a pin close to the analog input pins. Any positive injection current within the limits specified for
IINJ(PIN) and ΣIINJ(PIN) in Section 12.8 does not affect the ADC accuracy.

1. CPARASITIC represents the capacitance of the PCB (dependent on soldering and PCB layout quality) plus the pad ca-

12.12.1 Analog Power Supply and Reference
Pins
Depending on the MCU pin count, the package
may feature separate VAREF and VSSA analog
power supply pins. These pins supp ly power to the
A/D converter cell a nd function as the high and low
reference vo ltages for the conversion.
Separatio n of the digi tal and an alog powe r pins al-
low board designers to improve A/D performance.
Conversion accuracy can be impacted by voltage
drops and noise in the event of heavily loaded or
badly decoupled power supply lines (see Section
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines).
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines
To obtain best results, some general design and
layout rules should be followed when designing
the application PCB to shield the noise-sensitive,
analog physical interface from noise-generating
CMOS logic signals.
Use separate digital and analog pl anes. The an-
alog ground plane should be connected to the
digital ground plane via a single point on the
PCB.
Filter power to the analog powe r planes. It is rec-
ommended to connect capacitors, with good high
frequency characteristics, between the power
and ground lines, placing 0.1µF and option ally, if
needed 10pF capacito rs as close as possible to
the ST7 power supply pins and a 1 to 10µF ca-
pacitor close to the power source (see Figure
113).
The analog and digital power supplies should be
connected in a sta r ne two r k. Do no t us e a re sis-
tor, as VAREF is used as a reference voltage by
the A/D converter and any resi stance would
cause a voltage dr o p an d a los s of acc ur a cy.
Properly place components and rou te the signal
traces on the PCB to shield the analog inputs.
Analog signals p aths should run over the an alog
ground plane and be as short as possible. Isolate
analog signals from digital signals that may
switch while the analog inputs are being sampled
by the A/D converter. Do not toggle digital out-
puts on the same I/O port as the A/D input being
converted.

Conditions: VDD=5V 1)
Notes:
1. ADC Accuracy vs. Negative Injection Current: Injecting negative current may reduce the accuracy of the conversion
being performed on another analog input. The effect of negative injection current on robust pins is specified in Section
12.12.
Any positive injection current within the limits specified for I INJ(PIN) and ΣIINJ(PIN) in Section 12.8 does not affect the ADC
accuracy.
2. Data based on characterization results, monitored in production to guarantee 99.73% within ± max value from -40°C
to 125°C (± 3σ distribution limits).

13.3 SOLDERING INFORMATION
In accordance with the RoHS European directive,
all STMicroelectronics packages will be converted
in 2005 to lead-free technology, named ECO-
PACKTM (for a detailed roadmap, please refer to
PCN CRP/04/744 "Lead -free Conversion Prog ram
- Compliance with RoHS", issued November 18th,
2004).
ECOPACKTM packages are qualified according
to the JEDEC STD-020B compliant soldering
profile.
Detailed information on the STMicroelectronic
ECOPACKTM transition program is availa ble on
www.st.com/stonline/leadfree/, with specific
technical Application notes covering the main
technical aspects related to lead-free
conversion (AN2033, AN2034, AN2035,
AN2036).

dering process is the temperature range.
– ECOPACKTM TQFP packages are fully compat -
ible with Lead (Pb) con taining soldering process
(see application not e AN2034)
TQFP Pb-packages are compatible with Lead-
free soldering process, nevertheless it's the cus-
tomer's duty to verify that the Pb-packages max-
imum temperature (mentioned on the Inner box
label) is compatible with their Lead-free soldering
temperature.

14 ST72521 DEVICE CONFIGURATION AND ORDERING INFORMATION
Each device is available for productio n in user pro-
grammable version s (FLASH) as well as in fa ctory
coded versions (ROM/FASTROM).
ST72521B devices are ROM versions. ST72P521
devices are Factory Advanced Service Technique
ROM (FASTROM) versions: they are factory-pro-
grammed HDFlash devices. FLASH devices are
shipped to customers with a default content, while
ROM/FASTROM factory coded parts contain the
code supplied by the customer. This implies that
FLASH devices have to be configured by the cus-
tomer using the Option Bytes while the ROM/FAS-
TROM devices are factory-configured.
14.1 FLASH OPTION BYTES
The option bytes allow the hardware configuration
of the microcontrolle r to be selected. They have no
address in the memor y map an d can be acce ssed
only in programming mode (for example using a
standard ST7 prog ramming tool ). The default con-
tent of the FLASH is fixed to FFh. To program the
FLASH devices directly using ICP, FLASH devices
are shipped to customers with the internal RC
clock source. In masked ROM devices, the option
bytes are fixed in hard ware by the ROM code (see
option list).
OPTION BYTE 0
OPT7= WDG HALT Watchdog and HALT mode
This option bit determines if a RESET is generated
when entering HALT mode while the Watchdog is
active.
0: No Reset generation when ent ering Halt mode
1: Reset generation when entering Halt mode
OPT6= WDG SW Hardware or software watchdog
This option bit selects the watchdog type.
0: Hardware (watchdog always enabled)
1: Software (watchdog to be enabled by software)
OPT5 = Reserved, must be kept at default value.
OPT4:3= VD[1:0] Voltage detection
These option bits enable the voltage detection
block (LVD, and AVD) with a selected threshold for
the LVD and AVD (EVD+AVD).
Caution: If the medium or low thresholds are se-
lected, the detection may occur outside the speci-
fied operating voltage range. Below 3.8V, device
operation is not guaranteed. For details on the
AVD and LVD threshold levels refer to section

OPT2 = Reserved, must be kept at default value.
OPT1= PKG0 Package selec tio n bit 0
This option bit is used to select the package (see
table in PKG1 option bit description).
OPT0= FMP_R Flash memory read-out protection
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a
protection against Program Memory content ex-
traction and against write access to Flash memo-
ry.
Erasing the option bytes when the FMP_R option
is selected causes the whole user memory to be
erased first, and the device can be reprogrammed.
Refer to Section 4.3.1 and the ST7 Flash Pro-
gramming Reference Manual for more details.
Note: Readout protection is not supported if LVD
is enabled.
0: Read-out protection enabled
1: Read-out protection disabled
OPTION BYTE 1
OPT7= PKG1 Package selec tio n bit 1
This option bit, with the PKG0 bit, selects the pack-
age.
Note: O n the chip, each I/O port has 8 pads. Pads
that are not bonded to external pins are in input
pull-up configuration after reset. The configuration
of these pads must be kept at reset state to avoid
added current consumption.
OPT6 = RSTC RESET clock cycle selection
This option bit selects the number of CPU cycles
applied during the RESET phase and when exiting
HALT mode. For resonator oscillators, it is advised
to select 4096 due to the long crys tal stabilization
time.
0: Reset phase with 4096 CPU cycles
1: Reset phase with 256 CPU cycles
OPT5:4 = OSCTYPE[1:0] Oscillator Type
These option bits select the ST7 main clock
source type.
OPT3:1 = OSCRANGE[2:0] Oscillator range
When the resonator oscillator type is selected,
these option bits select the resonator oscillator
current source corresponding to the frequency
range of the used resona tor. O therwise, the se bits
are used to select the normal operating frequency
range.
OPT0 = PLLOFF PLL activation
This option bit activates the PLL which allows mul-
tiplication by two of the main input clock frequency.
The PLL must not b e used with the internal RC os-
cillator or with external clock source. The PLL is
guaranteed only with an input frequency between
2 and 4MHz.
0: PLL x2 enabled
1: PLL x2 disabled
CAUTION: the PLL can be enabled only if the
“OSC RANGE” (OPT3:1) bits are configured to
“MP - 2~4MHz”. Otherwise, the device functionali-
ty is not guaranteed.

15 KNOWN LIMITATIONS
15.1 ALL FLASH AND ROM DEVICES
15.1.1 External RC option
The External RC clock source option described in
previous datasheet revisions is no longer support-
ed and has been removed from this specification.
15.1.2 Safe Connection of OSC1/OSC2 Pins
The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not be left un-
connected otherwise the ST7 main oscillator may
start and, in this configuration, could generate an
fOSC clock frequency in excess of the allowed
maximum (>16MHz.), putting the ST7 in an un-
safe/undef ined st at e. Ref er t o sectio n 6. 2 on p age
25.
15.1.3 Reset pin protection with LVD Enabled
As mentioned in note 2 below Figure 103 on page
186, when the LVD is enabled, it is recommended
not to connect a pull-up resistor or capacitor. A
10nF pull-down capacitor is required to filter noise
on the reset line.
15.1.4 Unexpected Reset Fetch
If an interrupt request occurs wh ile a “POP CC” in-
struction is executed, the interrupt controller does
not recognise the source of the interrupt and, by
default, passes the RESET vector address to the
CPU.
Workaround
To solve this issue, a “POP CC” instruction must
always be preceded by a “SIM” instruction.
15.1.5 Clearing active interrupts outside
interrupt routine
When an active interrupt request occurs at the
same time as the related flag is being cleared, an
unwanted reset may occur.
Note: clearing the related interrupt mask will not
generate an unwanted reset
Concurrent interrupt context
The symptom does not occur when the interrupts
are handle d no rm a lly, i.e .
when:
The interrupt flag is cleared within its own inter-
rupt routine
The interrupt flag is cleared within any interrupt
routine
The interrupt flag is cleared in any part of the
code while this interrupt is disabled
If these conditions are not met, the symptom can
be avoided by implementing the following se-
quence:
Perform SIM and RIM operation before and after
resetting an active interrupt request.
Example:
SIM
reset interrupt flag
RIM
Nested interrupt context:
The symptom does not occur when the interrupts
are handle d no rm a lly, i.e .
when:
The interrupt flag is cleared within its own inter-
rupt routine
The interrupt flag is cleared within any interrupt
routine with higher or identical priority level
The interrupt flag is cleared in any part of the
code while this interrupt is disabled
If these conditions are not met, the symptom can
be avoided by implementing the following se-
quence:
PUSH CC
SIM
reset interrupt flag
POP CC

KNOWN LIMITATIONS (Cont’d)
15.1.6 SCI Wrong Break duration
Description
A single break ch aracte r is sent by sett ing and re-
setting the SBK bit in the SCICR2 register. In
some cases, the break character may have a long-
er duration than expecte d :
- 20 bits instead of 10 bits if M=0
- 22 bits instead of 11 bits if M=1.
In the same way, as long as the SBK bit is set,
break characters are sent to the TDO pin. This
may lead to g enerate one break more than expect-
ed.
Occurrence
The occurrence of the problem is r andom and pro-
portional to the baudrate. With a transmit frequen-
cy of 19200 baud (fCPU=8MHz and SCI-
BRR=0xC9), the wr ong break duration occurren ce
is around 1%.
Workaround
If this wrong duration is not compliant with the
communication protocol in the application, soft-
ware can request that an Idle line be generated
before the brea k character. In this case, the break
duration is always correct assuming the applica-
tion is not doing anythin g between the idle and the
break. This can be ensured by temporarily disa-
bling interrupts.
The exact sequence is:
- Disable interrupts
- Reset and Set TE (IDLE request )
- Set and Reset SBK (Break Request)
- Re-enable interrupts
15.1.7 16-bit Timer PWM Mode
In PWM mode, the first PWM pulse is missed after
writing the value FFFCh in the OC1R register
(OC1HR, OC1LR). It leads to either full or no PWM
during a period, depending on the OLVL1 and
OLVL2 settings.

15.1.9 I2C Multimaster
In multimaster configurations, if the ST7 I2C re-
ceives a S TART condition from an other I2C mas-
ter after th e START bit is set in t he I2 CCR register
and before the START condition is generated by
the ST7 I2C, it may ignore the START condition
from the other I2C master. In this case, the ST7
master will receive a NACK from the other device.
On reception of the NACK, ST7 can send a re-start
and Slave address to re-initiate communication

15.2 ALL FLASH DEVICES
15.2.1 Internal RC Oscillator with LVD
The internal RC can only be used if LVD is ena-
bled.
15.2.2 I/O behaviour during ICC mode entry
sequence
Symptom
In 80-pin devices (Flash), both Port G and H are
forced to output push-pull during ICC mode entry
sequence. 80-pin ROM devices are not impacted
by this issue.
Details
To enable programming of all flash sectors, the
device must leave USER mode an d be co nfigu red
in ICC mode. Once in ICC mode, the ICC protocol
enables an ST7 microcontroller to communicate
with an external controller (such as a PC). ICC
mode is entered by applying 39 pulses on the IC-
CDATA signal during reset. To enter ICC mode,
the device goes through other modes, some
modes are critical because the I/Os PG[7:0] and
PH[7:0] are forced to output push-pull.
Impact on the Application
The PG and PH I/O ports are forced to output
push-pull during three pulses on ICCDATA. In cer-
tain circumstances, this behaviour can lead to a
short-circuit between t he I/O sign als and V DD, VSS
or an output signal of another application compo-
nent.
In addition, switching these I/Os to output mode
can cause the application t o leave reset state, dis-
turbing the ICC comm unication and preventi ng the
user from programming the flash.
15.2.3 Read-out protection with LVD
The LVD is not supported if Readout protection is
enabled.
