GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Internal Power on Reset Circuit  
The ADuC836 is a complete smart transducer front end, integrating  
two high resolution -ADCs, an 8-bit MCU, and program/data  
Flash/EE memory on a single chip.  
12-BitVoltage Output DAC  
Dual 16-Bit -DACs/PWMs

WatchdogTimer (WDT)  
The two independent ADCs (primary and auxiliary) include a  
temperature sensor and a PGA (allowing direct measurement  
of low level signals).The ADCs with on-chip digital filtering and  
programmable output data rates are intended for the measure-  
ment of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals, such as those  
in weigh scale, strain gage, pressure transducer, or temperature  
measurement applications.  
Power Supply Monitor (PSM)  
Power  
Normal: 2.3 mA Max @ 3.6V (Core CLK = 1.57 MHz)  
Power-Down: 20 A Max withWake-UpTimer Running  
Specified for 3V and 5V Operation  
Package andTemperature Range  
52-Lead MQFP (14 mm 14 mm), –40C to +125C  
56-Lead LFCSP (8 mm 8 mm), –40C to +85C  
The device operates from a 32 kHz crystal with an on-chip PLL  
generating a high frequency clock of 12.58 MHz.This clock is  
routed through a programmable clock divider from which the MCU  
core clock operating frequency is generated.The microcontroller  
core is an 8052 and therefore 8051 instruction set compatible  
with 12 core clock periods per machine cycle.  
APPLICATIONS  
Intelligent Sensors  
Weigh Scales  
Portable Instrumentation, Battery-Powered Systems  
4–20 mATransmitters  
Data Logging  
62 Kbytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory, 4 Kbytes of  
nonvolatile Flash/EE data memory, and 2304 bytes of data RAM  
are provided on-chip.The program memory can be configured as  
data memory to give up to 60 Kbytes of NV data memory in data  
logging applications.  
On-chip factory firmware supports in-circuit serial download and  
debug modes (via UART), as well as single-pin emulation mode  
via the EA pin.The ADuC836 is supported by a QuickStart™  
development system featuring low cost software and hardware  
development tools.

NOTES  
1 Temperature range for ADuC836BS (MQFP package) is –40°C to +125°C.Temperature range for ADuC836BCP (CSP package) is –40°C to +85°C.  
2 These numbers are not production tested but are guaranteed by design and/or characterization data on production release.  
3 System Zero-Scale Calibration can remove this error.  
4 The primary ADC is factory calibrated at 25°C with AVDD = DVDD = 5V yielding this full-scale error of 10 V. If user power supply or temperature conditions are significantly  
different from these, an Internal Full-Scale Calibration will restore this error to 10 V. A system zero-scale and full-scale calibration will remove this error altogether.  
5 Gain Error Drift is a span drift.To calculate Full-Scale Error Drift, add the Offset Error Drift to the Gain Error Drift times the full-scale input.  
6 The auxiliary ADC is factory calibrated at 25°C with AVDD = DVDD = 5V yielding this full-scale error of –2.5 LSB. A system zero-scale and full-scale calibration  
will remove this error altogether.  
7 DAC linearity and ac specifications are calculated using: reduced code range of 48 to 4095, 0 toVREF; reduced code range of 100 to 3950, 0 toVDD  
.
8 Gain Error is a measurement of the span error of the DAC.  
9 In general terms, the bipolar input voltage range to the primary ADC is given by RangeADC = ±(VREF 2RN)/125, where:  
VREF = REFIN(+) to REFIN(–) voltage andVREF = 1.25V when internal ADCVREF is selected. RN = decimal equivalent of RN2, RN1, RN0, e.g.,  
VREF = 2.5V and RN2, RN1, RN0 = 1, 1, 0 the RangeADC = ±1.28V. In Unipolar mode, the effective range is 0V to 1.28V in our example.  
10 1.25V is used as the reference voltage to the auxiliary ADC when internalVREF is selected via XREF0 and XREF1 bits in ADC0CON and ADC1CON, respectively.  
11 In Bipolar mode, the auxiliary ADC can only be driven to a minimum of AGND – 30 mV as indicated by the auxiliary ADC absolute AIN voltage limits.The bipolar  
range is still –VREF to +VREF; however, the negative voltage is limited to –30 mV.  
12 The ADuC836BCP (CSP package) has been qualified and tested with the base of the CSP package floating.  
13 Pins configured in SPI mode, pins configured as digital inputs during this test.  
14 Pins configured in I2C mode only.  
15 Flash/EE Memory Reliability Characteristics apply to both the Flash/EE program memory and Flash/EE data memory.  
16 Endurance is qualified to 100 Kcycles as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117 and measured at –40°C, +25°C, +85°C, and +125°C.Typical endurance at 25°C is 700 Kcycles.  
17 Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 55°C as per JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV will  
derate with junction temperature as shown in Figure 16 in the Flash/EE Memory section.  
18 Power Supply current consumption is measured in Normal, Idle, and Power-Down modes under the following conditions:  
Normal mode: Reset = 0.4V, Digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON, Core Executing internal software loop.  
Idle mode: Reset = 0.4V, Digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON, PCON.0 = 1, Core Execution suspended in idle mode.  
Power-Down mode: Reset = 0.4V, All P0 pins and P1.2–P1.7 pins = 0.4V, all other digital I/O pins are open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON,  
PCON.1 = 1, Core Execution suspended in Power-Down mode, OSC turned on or off via OSC_PD bit (PLLCON.7) in PLLCON SFR.  
19 DVDD power supply current will increase typically by 3 mA (3V operation) and 10 mA (5V operation) during a Flash/EE memory program or erase cycle.

CAUTION  
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate  
on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the ADuC836  
features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high  
energy electrostatic discharges.Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance  
degradation or loss of functionality.

P3.0–P3.7 are bidirectional port pins with internal pull-up resistors. Port 3 pins that  
have 1s written to them are pulled high by the internal pull-up resistors, and in that  
state can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins being pulled externally low will  
source current because of the internal pull-up resistors.When driving a 0-to-1 output  
transition, a strong pull-up is active for two core clock periods of the instruction  
cycle. Port 3 pins also have various secondary functions including:

Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors. Port 2 pins that have 1s  
written to them are pulled high by the internal pull-up resistors, and in that state can  
be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins being pulled externally low will source current  
because of the internal pull-up resistors.  
Port 2 emits the high order address bytes during fetches from external program memory  
and middle and high order address bytes during accesses to the 24-bit external data  
memory space.

EA  
I/O  
External Access Enable, Logic Input.When held high, this input enables the device to  
fetch code from internal program memory locations 0000h to F7FFh.When held low,  
this input enables the device to fetch all instructions from external program memory.  
To determine the mode of code execution, i.e., internal or external, the EA pin is  
sampled at the end of an external RESET assertion or as part of a device power cycle.  
EA may also be used as an external emulation I/O pin, and therefore the voltage level  
at this pin must not be changed during normal mode operation as it may cause an  
emulation interrupt that will halt code execution.

Download mode when pulled low through a resistor at the end of an external RESET  
assertion or as part of a device power cycle.  
ALE  
O
Address Latch Enable, Logic Output.This output is used to latch the low byte (and  
page byte for 24-bit data address space accesses) of the address to external memory  
during external code or data memory access cycles. It is activated every six oscillator  
periods except during an external data memory access. It can be disabled by setting  
the PCON.4 bit in the PCON SFR.

I/O  
These pins are part of Port 0, which is an 8-bit, open-drain, bidirectional  
I/O port. Port 0 pins that have 1s written to them float and in that state can be used  
(AD4–AD7)as high impedance inputs. An external pull-up resistor will be required  
on P0 outputs to force a valid logic high level externally. Port 0 is also the multiplexed  
low order address and data bus during accesses to external program or data memory.  
In this application, it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION  
The ADuC836 contains four different memory blocks:  
Reset initializes the stack pointer to location 07H. Any call or push  
pre-increments the SP before loading the stack.Therefore, loading  
the stack starts from location 08H, which is also the first register  
(R0) of register bank 1.Thus, if one is going to use more than one  
register bank, the stack pointer should be initialized to an area of  
RAM not used for data storage.

If the user applies power or resets the device while the EA pin is  
pulled low externally, the part will execute code from the external  
program space; otherwise, if EA is pulled high externally, the part  
defaults to code execution from its internal 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE  
program memory.

Unlike the ADuC816, where code execution can overflow from the  
internal code space to external code space once the PC becomes  
greater than 1FFFH, the ADuC836 does not support the rollover  
from F7FFH in internal code space to F800H in external code  
space. Instead, the 2048 bytes between F800H and FFFFH will  
appear as NOP instructions to user code.

Figure 2. Lower 128 Bytes of Internal Data Memory  
(4) Internal XRAM  
The ADuC836 contains 2 Kbytes of on-chip extended data mem-  
ory.This memory, although on-chip, is accessed via the MOVX  
instruction.The 2 Kbytes of internal XRAM are mapped into the  
bottom 2 Kbytes of the external address space if the CFG836.0  
bit is set. Otherwise, access to the external data memory will occur  
just like a standard 8051.  
56 Kbytes of the program memory can be reprogrammed during  
runtime; thus the code space can be upgraded in the field using a  
user defined protocol or it can be used as a data memory.This  
is discussed in more detail in the Flash/EE Memory section.  
(2) Flash/EE Data Memory  
4 Kbytes of Flash/EE Data Memory are available to the user and  
can be accessed indirectly via a group of registers mapped into the  
Special Function Register (SFR) area. Access to the Flash/EE Data  
memory is discussed in detail in the Flash/EE Memory section.  
Even with the CFG836.0 bit set, access to the external XRAM  
will occur once the 24-bit DPTR is greater than 0007FFH.

(3) General-Purpose RAM  
The general-purpose RAM is divided into two separate memories:  
the upper and lower 128 bytes of RAM.The lower 128 bytes of  
RAM can be accessed through direct or indirect addressing; the  
upper 128 bytes of RAM can only be accessed through indirect  
addressing as it shares the same address space as the SFR space,  
which can only be accessed through direct addressing.

(128 bits), locations 20H through 2FH above the register banks,  
form a block of directly addressable bit locations at bit addresses  
00H through 7FH.The stack can be located anywhere in the inter-  
nal memory address space, and the stack depth can be expanded  
up to 2048 bytes.

GENERAL NOTES PERTAININGTOTHIS DATA SHEET  
1. SET implies a Logic 1 state and CLEARED implies a Logic 0 state, unless  
otherwise stated.  
2. SET and CLEARED also imply that the bit is set or automatically cleared by  
the ADuC836 hardware, unless otherwise stated.  
3. User software should not write 1s to reserved or unimplemented bits as they  
may be used in future products.  
4. Any pin numbers used throughout this data sheet refer to the 52-lead MQFP  
package, unless otherwise stated.

ADuC836  
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFRS)  
When accessing the internal XRAM, the P0 and P2 port pins, as  
well as the RD and WR strobes, will not be output as per a stan-  
dard 8051 MOVX instruction.This allows the user to use these  
port pins as standard I/O.  
The SFR space is mapped into the upper 128 bytes of internal  
data memory space and accessed by direct addressing only. It  
provides an interface between the CPU and all on-chip periph-  
erals. A block diagram showing the programming model of the  
ADuC836 via the SFR area is shown in Figure 5.  
The upper 1792 bytes of the internal XRAM can be configured  
to be used as an extended 11-bit stack pointer. By default, the  
stack will operate exactly like an 8052 in that it will roll over from  
FFH to 00H in the general-purpose RAM. On the ADuC836  
however, it is possible (by setting CFG836.7) to enable the 11-bit  
extended stack pointer. In this case, the stack will roll over from  
FFH in RAM to 0100H in XRAM.The 11-bit stack pointer is  
visible in the SP and SPH SFRs.The SP SFR is located at 81H  
as with a standard 8052.The SPH SFR is located at B7H.The  
3 LSBs of this SFR contain the three extra bits necessary to  
extend the 8-bit stack pointer into an 11-bit stack pointer.

Figure 4. Extended Stack Pointer Operation  
The B Register is used with the ACC for multiplication and

External Data Memory (External XRAM)  
Just like a standard 8051 compatible core, the ADuC836 can  
access external data memory using a MOVX instruction.The  
MOVX instruction automatically outputs the various control  
strobes required to access the data memory.  
Data Pointer (DPTR)  
The Data Pointer is made up of three 8-bit registers, named DPP  
(page byte), DPH (high byte), and DPL (low byte).These are  
used to provide memory addresses for internal and external code  
access and external data access. It may be manipulated as a 16-bit  
register (DPTR = DPH, DPL), although INC DPTR instructions  
will automatically carry over to DPP, or as three independent 8-bit  
registers (DPP, DPH, DPL).  
The ADuC836, however, can access up to 16 Mbytes of external  
data memory.This is an enhancement of the 64 Kbytes external  
data memory space available on a standard 8051 compatible core.  
The external data memory is discussed in more detail in the  
ADuC836 Hardware Design Considerations section.  
The ADuC836 supports dual data pointers. For more information,  
refer to the Dual Data Pointer section.

Table II. PCON SFR Bit Designations  
The SP SFR is the stack pointer and is used to hold an internal  
RAM address that is called the “top of the stack.The SP Register  
is incremented before data is stored, during PUSH and CALL  
executions.While the Stack may reside anywhere in on-chip RAM,  
the SP Register is initialized to 07H after a reset.This causes the  
stack to begin at location 08H.

NOTES  
1. Any change to the MD bits will immediately reset both ADCs. A write to the MD2–0 bits with no change is also treated as a reset. (See exception to this in Note 3.)  
2. If ADC0CON is written when ADC0EN = 1, or if ADC0EN is changed from 0 to 1, then both ADCs are also immediately reset. In other words, the primary ADC is  
given priority over the auxiliary ADC, and any change requested on the primary ADC is immediately responded to.  
3. On the other hand, if ADC1CON is written or if ADC1EN is changed from 0 to 1, only the auxiliary ADC is reset. For example, if the primary ADC is continuously converting  
when the auxiliary ADC change or enable occurs, the primary ADC continues undisturbed. Rather than allow the auxiliary ADC to operate with a phase difference from  
the primary ADC, the auxiliary ADC will fall into step with the outputs of the primary ADC.The result is that the first conversion time for the auxiliary ADC will be  
delayed up to three outputs while the auxiliary ADC update rate is synchronized to the primary ADC.  
4. Once ADCMODE has been written with a calibration mode, the RDY0/1 bits (ADCSTAT) are immediately reset and the calibration commences. On completion, the appropriate  
calibration registers are written, the relevant bits in ADCSTAT are written, and the MD2–0 bits are reset to 000 to indicate the ADC is back in Power-Down mode.  
5. Any calibration request of the auxiliary ADC while the temperature sensor is selected will fail to complete. Although the RDY1 bit will be set at the end of the calibration  
cycle, no update of the calibration SFRs will take place and the ERR1 bit will be set.  
6. Calibrations are performed at maximum SF (see SF SFR) value, guaranteeing optimum calibration operation.

SF (Sinc Filter Register)  
value for the SF Register is 45H, resulting in a default ADC update  
rate of just under 20 Hz. Both ADC inputs are chopped to mini-  
mize offset errors, which means that the settling time for a single  
conversion, or the time to a first conversion result in Continuous  
Conversion mode, is 2 tADC. As mentioned earlier, all calibra-  
tion cycles will be carried out automatically with a maximum, i.e.,  
FFH, SF value to ensure optimum calibration performance. Once  
a calibration cycle has completed, the value in the SF Register will  
be that programmed by user software.  
The number in this register sets the decimation factor and thus  
the output update rate for the primary and auxiliary ADCs.This  
SFR cannot be written by user software while either ADC is active.  
The update rate applies to both primary and auxiliary ADCs and  
is calculated as follows:

PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ADC NOISE PERFORMANCE  
Tables X, XI, and XII show the output rms noise in mV and output  
peak-to-peak resolution in bits (rounded to the nearest 0.5 LSB)  
for some typical output update rates on both the primary and  
auxiliary ADCs.The numbers are typical and are generated at a  
differential input voltage of 0V.The output update rate is selected  
via the Sinc Filter (SF) SFR. It is important to note that the  
peak-to-peak resolution figures represent the resolution for which  
there will be no code flicker within a six-sigma limit.  
The QuickStart Development system PC software comes com-  
plete with an ADC noise evaluation tool.This tool can be easily  
used with the evaluation board to see these figures from silicon.

ADuC836  
PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ADC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION  
Overview  
allowing R/C filtering (for noise rejection or RFI reduction) to be  
placed on the analog inputs if required. On-chip burnout currents  
can also be turned on.These currents can be used to check that  
a transducer on the selected channel is still operational before  
attempting to take measurements.  
The ADuC836 incorporates two independent -ADCs (primary  
and auxiliary) with on-chip digital filtering intended for the mea-  
surement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals such as  
those in weigh-scale, strain gage, pressure transducer, or tempera-  
ture measurement applications.  
The ADC employs a -conversion technique to realize up to  
16 bits of no missing codes performance.The -modulator  
converts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse train whose  
duty cycle contains the digital information. A Sinc3 programmable  
low-pass filter is then employed to decimate the modulator output  
data stream to give a valid data conversion result at programmable  
output rates from 5.35 Hz (186.77 ms) to 105.03 Hz (9.52 ms). A  
chopping scheme is also employed to minimize ADC offset errors.  
A block diagram of the primary ADC is shown in Figure 7.  
Primary ADC  
This ADC is intended to convert the primary sensor input.The  
input is buffered and can be programmed for one of eight input  
ranges from ±20 mV to ±2.56V being driven from one of three  
differential input channel options AIN1/2, AIN3/4, or AIN3/2.  
The input channel is internally buffered, allowing the part to  
handle significant source impedances on the analog input and

Auxiliary ADC  
The auxiliary ADC has three external input pins (labeled AIN3  
to AIN5) as well as an internal connection to the on-chip tem-  
perature sensor. All inputs to the auxiliary ADC are single-ended  
inputs referenced to the AGND on the part. Channel selection  
bits in the ADC1CON SFR detailed inTableVII allow selection  
of one of four inputs.  
The auxiliary ADC is intended to convert supplementary inputs  
such as those from a cold junction diode or thermistor.This ADC  
is not buffered and has a fixed input range of 0V to 2.5V (assuming  
an external 2.5V reference).The single-ended inputs can be driven  
from AIN3, AIN4, or AIN5 pins, or directly from the on-chip  
temperature sensor voltage. A block diagram of the auxiliary ADC  
is shown in Figure 8.  
Two input multiplexers switch the selected input channel to the  
on-chip buffer amplifier in the case of the primary ADC and  
directly to the -modulator input in the case of the auxiliary  
ADC.When the analog input channel is switched, the settling  
time of the part must elapse before a new valid word is available  
from the ADC.  
Analog Input Channels  
The primary ADC has four associated analog input pins (labeled  
AIN1 to AIN4) that can be configured as two fully differential input  
channels. Channel selection bits in the ADC0CON SFR detailed  
inTableVI allow three combinations of differential pair selection  
as well as an additional shorted input option (AIN2–AIN2).

Primary and Auxiliary ADC Inputs  
The output of the Primary ADC multiplexer feeds into a high  
impedance input stage of the buffer amplifier. As a result, the  
primary ADC inputs can handle significant source impedances  
and are tailored for direct connection to external resistive-type sen-  
sors like strain gages or ResistanceTemperature Detectors (RTDs).  
The auxiliary ADC, however, is unbuffered, resulting in higher  
analog input current on the auxiliary ADC. It should be noted  
that this unbuffered input path provides a dynamic load to the  
driving source.Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on the  
input pins can cause dc gain errors depending on the output  
impedance of the source that is driving the ADC inputs.

The absolute input voltage range on the primary ADC is restricted  
to between AGND + 100 mV to AVDD – 100 mV. Care must be  
taken in setting up the common-mode voltage and input voltage  
range so that these limits are not exceeded; otherwise there will  
be a degradation in linearity performance.  
ADC RANGE  
Figure 9. Primary ADC Range Matching  
Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs  
The analog inputs on the ADuC836 can accept either unipolar  
or bipolar input voltage ranges. Bipolar input ranges do not imply  
that the part can handle negative voltages with respect to system  
AGND.  
The absolute input voltage range on the auxiliary ADC is restricted  
to between AGND – 30 mV to AVDD + 30 mV.The slightly negative  
absolute input voltage limit does allow the possibility of monitor-  
ing small signal bipolar signals using the single-ended auxiliary  
ADC front end.  
Programmable Gain Amplifier  
Unipolar and bipolar signals on the AIN(+) input on the primary  
ADC are referenced to the voltage on the respective AIN(–)  
input. For example, if AIN(–) is 2.5V and the primary ADC is  
configured for an analog input range of 0 mV to 20 mV, the input  
voltage range on the AIN(+) input is 2.5V to 2.52V. If AIN(–) is  
2.5V and the ADuC836 is configured for an analog input range  
of 1.28V, the analog input range on the AIN(+) input is 1.22V to  
3.78V (i.e., 2.5V ± 1.28V).  
The output from the buffer on the primary ADC is applied to the  
input of the on-chip programmable gain amplifier (PGA).The  
PGA can be programmed through eight different unipolar input  
ranges and bipolar ranges.The PGA gain range is programmed  
via the range bits in the ADC0CON SFR.With the external  
reference select bit set in the ADC0CON SFR and an external  
2.5V reference, the unipolar ranges are 0 mV to 20 mV, 0 mV to  
40 mV, 0 mV to 80 mV, 0 mV to 160 mV, 0 mV to 320 mV, 0 mV  
to 640 mV, 0V to 1.28V, and 0 to 2.56V; the bipolar ranges  
are ±20 mV, ±40 mV, ±80 mV, ±160 mV, ±320 mV, ±640 mV,  
±1.28V, and ±2.56V.These are the nominal ranges that should  
appear at the input to the on-chip PGA. An ADC range matching  
specification of 2 µV (typ) across all ranges means that calibration  
need only be carried out at a single gain range and does not have  
to be repeated when the PGA gain range is changed.  
As mentioned earlier, the auxiliary ADC input is a single-ended  
input with respect to the system AGND. In this context, a bipolar  
signal on the auxiliary ADC can only span 30 mV negative with  
respect to AGND before violating the voltage input limits for  
this ADC.  
Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the pri-  
mary and auxiliary Unipolar enable bits in the ADC0CON and  
ADC1CON SFRs, respectively.This programs the relevant ADC  
for either unipolar or bipolar operation. Programming for either  
unipolar or bipolar operation does not change any of the input  
signal conditioning; it simply changes the data output coding  
and the points on the transfer function where calibrations occur.  
When an ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output  
coding is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input  
voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a midscale voltage  
resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a full-scale input voltage  
resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111.When an ADC is configured  
for bipolar operation, the coding is offset binary with a negative  
full-scale voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a zero dif-  
ferential voltage resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a positive  
full-scale voltage resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111.  
Typical matching across ranges is shown in Figure 9. Here, the  
primary ADC is configured in bipolar mode with an external 2.5V  
reference, while just greater than 19 mV is forced on its inputs.  
The ADC continuously converts the dc input voltage at an update  
rate of 5.35 Hz, i.e., SF = FFH. In total, 800 conversion results are  
gathered.The first 100 results are gathered with the primary ADC  
operating in the ±20 mV range.The ADC range is then switched  
to ±40 mV, 100 more conversion results are gathered, and so on,  
until the last group of 100 samples is gathered with the ADC con-  
figured in the ±2.56V range. From Figure 9, the variation in the  
sample mean through each range, i.e., the range matching, is seen  
to be of the order of 2 V.  
The auxiliary ADC does not incorporate a PGA and is configured  
for a fixed single input range of 0 toVREF  
.

ADuC836  
Reference Input  
Excitation Currents  
The ADuC836’s reference inputs, REFIN(+) and REFIN(–),  
provide a differential reference input capability.The common-  
mode range for these differential inputs is from AGND to AVDD  
The nominal reference voltage,VREF (REFIN(+) – REFIN(–)),  
for specified operation is 2.5V with the primary and auxiliary  
reference enable bits set in the respective ADC0CON and/or  
ADC1CON SFRs.  
The ADuC836 also contains two identical, 200 µA constant current  
sources. Both source current from AVDD to Pin 3 (IEXC1) or Pin 4  
(IEXC2).These current sources are controlled via bits in the ICON  
SFR shown inTable IX.They can be configured to source 200 µA  
individually to both pins or a combination of both currents, i.e.,  
400 µA, to either of the selected pins.These current sources can be  
used to excite external resistive bridge or RTD sensors.  
.
The part is also functional (although not specified for perfor-  
mance) when the XREF0 or XREF1 bits are 0, which enables the  
on-chip internal band gap reference. In this mode, the ADCs will see  
the internal reference of 1.25V, therefore halving all input ranges.  
As a result of using the internal reference voltage, a noticeable  
degradation in peak-to-peak resolution will result.Therefore, for  
best performance, operation with an external reference is strongly  
recommended.  
Reference Detect  
The ADuC836 includes on-chip circuitry to detect if the part has  
a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. If the voltage  
between the external REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins goes below  
0.3V or either the REFIN(+) or REFIN(–) inputs is open circuit,  
the ADuC836 detects that it no longer has a valid reference. In this  
case, the NOXREF bit of the ADCSTAT SFR is set to a 1. If the  
ADuC836 is performing normal conversions and the NOXREF  
bit becomes active, the conversion results revert to all 1s. It is not  
necessary to continuously monitor the status of the NOXREF bit  
when performing conversions. It is only necessary to verify its status  
if the conversion result read from the ADC Data Register is all 1s.  
In applications where the excitation (voltage or current) for the  
transducer on the analog input also drives the reference voltage  
for the part, the effect of the low frequency noise in the excitation  
source will be removed as the application is ratiometric. If the  
ADuC836 is not used in a ratiometric application, a low noise  
reference should be used. Recommended reference voltage sources  
for the ADuC836 include the AD780, REF43, and REF192.  
If the ADuC836 is performing either an offset or gain calibration  
and the NOXREF bit becomes active, the updating of the respec-  
tive calibration registers is inhibited to avoid loading incorrect  
coefficients to these registers, and the appropriate ERR0 or ERR1  
bits in the ADCSTAT SFR are set. If the user is concerned about  
verifying that a valid reference is in place every time a calibration is  
performed, the status of the ERR0 or ERR1 bit should be checked  
at the end of the calibration cycle.  
It should also be noted that the reference inputs provide a high  
impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each  
reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on these  
inputs can cause dc gain errors depending on the output imped-  
ance of the source that is driving the reference inputs. Reference  
voltage sources, like those recommended above (e.g., AD780),  
will typically have low output impedances and therefore decoupling  
capacitors on the REFIN(+) input would be recommended.  
Deriving the reference input voltage across an external resistor,  
as shown in Figure 66, will mean that the reference input sees a  
significant external source impedance. External decoupling on  
the REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins would not be recommended  
in this type of circuit configuration.  
-Modulator  
A -ADC generally consists of two main blocks, an analog modu-  
lator and a digital filter. In the case of the ADuC836 ADCs, the  
analog modulators consist of a difference amplifier, an integrator  
block, a comparator, and a feedback DAC, as illustrated in Figure 10.

Burnout Currents  
The primary ADC on the ADuC836 contains two 100 nA con-  
stant current generators: one sourcing current from AVDD to  
AIN(+) and one sinking from AIN(–) to AGND.The currents  
are switched to the selected analog input pair. Both currents are  
either on or off, depending on the Burnout Current Enable  
(BO) bit in the ICON SFR (seeTable IX).These currents can  
be used to verify that an external transducer is still operational  
before attempting to take measurements on that channel. Once  
the burnout currents are turned on, they will flow in the external  
transducer circuit, and a measurement of the input voltage on  
the analog input channel can be taken. If the resultant voltage  
measured is full-scale, it indicates that the transducer has gone  
open-circuit. If the voltage measured is 0V, it indicates that the  
transducer has short circuited. For normal operation, these burn-  
out currents are turned off by writing a 0 to the BO bit in the  
ICON SFR.The current sources work over the normal absolute  
input voltage range specifications.  
Figure 10. -Modulator Simplified Block Diagram  
In operation, the analog signal sample is fed to the difference  
amplifier along with the output of the feedback DAC.The dif-  
ference between these two signals is integrated and fed to the  
comparator.The output of the comparator provides the input to  
the feedback DAC so the system functions as a negative feedback  
loop that tries to minimize the difference signal.The digital data  
that represents the analog input voltage is contained in the duty  
cycle of the pulse train appearing at the output of the comparator.  
This duty cycle data can be recovered as a data-word using a sub-  
sequent digital filter stage.The sampling frequency of the modulator  
loop is many times higher than the bandwidth of the input signal.  
The integrator in the modulator shapes the quantization noise  
(which results from the analog-to-digital conversion) so that the  
noise is pushed toward one-half of the modulator frequency.

Digital Filter  
The output of the -modulator feeds directly into the digital  
filter.The digital filter then band-limits the response to a frequency  
significantly lower than one-half of the modulator frequency. In  
this manner, the 1-bit output of the comparator is translated into  
a band-limited, low noise output from the ADuC836 ADCs.

The ADuC836 filter is a low-pass, SIN3 or (SINx/x)3 filter whose  
primary function is to remove the quantization noise introduced

SFR, as described inTableVIII.

It should be noted that this frequency response allows frequency

ADuC836  
ADC Chopping  
present at power-on an internal full-scale calibration will only be  
required if the part is being operated at 3V or at temperatures  
significantly different from 25°C.  
Both ADCs on the ADuC836 implement a chopping scheme  
whereby the ADC repeatedly reverses its inputs.The decimated  
digital output words from the Sinc3 filters therefore have a positive  
offset and negative offset term included.  
The ADuC836 offers internal or system calibration facilities. For  
full calibration to occur on the selected ADC, the calibration  
logic must record the modulator output for two different input  
conditions: zero-scale and full-scale points.These points are  
derived by performing a conversion on the different input volt-  
ages provided to the input of the modulator during calibration.  
The result of the zero-scale calibration conversion is stored in the  
Offset Calibration Registers for the appropriate ADC.The result  
of the full-scale calibration conversion is stored in the Gain Cali-  
bration Registers for the appropriate ADC.With these readings,  
the calibration logic can calculate the offset and the gain slope for  
the input-to-output transfer function of the converter.  
As a result, a final summing stage is included in each ADC so that  
each output word from the filter is summed and averaged with  
the previous filter output to produce a new valid output result  
to be written to the ADC data SFRs. In this way, while the ADC  
throughput or update rate is as discussed earlier and illustrated in  
TableVIII, the full settling time through the ADC (or the time to  
a first conversion result) will actually be given by 2 tADC  
.
The chopping scheme incorporated in the ADuC836 ADC results  
in excellent dc offset and offset drift specifications and is extremely  
beneficial in applications where drift, noise rejection, and optimum  
EMI rejection are important factors.  
During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the respective  
zero-scale input and full-scale inputs are automatically connected to  
the ADC input pins internally to the device. A system calibration,  
however, expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale volt-  
ages to be applied to the external ADC pins before the calibration  
mode is initiated. In this way, external ADC errors are taken into  
account and minimized as a result of system calibration. It should  
also be noted that to optimize calibration accuracy, all ADuC836  
ADC calibrations are carried out automatically at the slowest  
update rate.  
Calibration  
The ADuC836 provides four calibration modes that can be pro-  
grammed via the mode bits in the ADCMODE SFR detailed in  
TableV. In fact, every ADuC836 has already been factory cali-  
brated.The resultant Offset and Gain calibration coefficients  
for both the primary and auxiliary ADCs are stored on-chip in  
manufacturing-specific Flash/EE memory locations. At power-on  
or after reset, these factory calibration coefficients are automati-  
cally downloaded to the calibration registers in the ADuC836  
SFR space. Each ADC (primary and auxiliary) has dedicated  
calibration SFRs, which have been described earlier as part of the  
general ADC SFR description. However, the factory calibration  
values in the ADC calibration SFRs will be overwritten if any  
one of the four calibration options are initiated and that ADC is  
enabled via the ADC enable bits in ADCMODE.  
Internally in the ADuC836, the coefficients are normalized before  
being used to scale the words coming out of the digital filter.The  
offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the result prior to  
the multiplication by the gain coefficient.  
From an operational point of view, a calibration should be treated  
like another ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration (if required)  
should always be carried out before a full-scale calibration. System

sequence or interrupt driven routine.  
Even though an internal offset calibration mode is described  
below, it should be recognized that both ADCs are chopped.This  
chopping scheme inherently minimizes offset and means that an  
internal offset calibration should never be required. Also, because

ADuC836 Flash/EE Memory Reliability  
NONVOLATILE FLASH/EE MEMORY  
Flash/EE Memory Overview  
The Flash/EE program and data memory arrays on the ADuC836  
are fully qualified for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics:  
Flash/EE Memory Cycling Endurance and Flash/EE Memory  
Data Retention.  
The ADuC836 incorporates Flash/EE memory technology  
on-chip to provide the user with nonvolatile, in-circuit, repro-  
grammable code and data memory space. Flash/EE memory is  
a relatively recent type of nonvolatile memory technology and is  
based on a single transistor cell architecture.This technology is  
basically an outgrowth of EPROM technology and was devel-  
oped through the late 1980s. Flash/EE memory takes the flexible  
in-circuit reprogrammable features of EEPROM and combines  
them with the space efficient/density features of EPROM (see  
Figure 15).  
Endurance quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to be  
cycled through many program, read, and erase cycles. In real  
terms, a single endurance cycle is composed of four independent,  
sequential events, which are defined as:  
a. Initial page erase sequence  
A Single Flash/EE  
Memory Endurance  
Cycle  
b. Read/verify sequence  
Because Flash/EE technology is based on a single transistor cell  
architecture, a Flash memory array, like EPROM, can be im-  
plemented to achieve the space efficiencies or memory densities  
required by a given design.  
c. Byte program sequence  
d. Second read/verify sequence  
In reliability qualification, every byte in both the program and  
data Flash/EE memory is cycled from 00H to FFH until a first  
fail is recorded, signifying the endurance limit of the on-chip  
Flash/EE memory.  
Like EEPROM, flash memory can be programmed in-system  
at a byte level, although it must first be erased; the erase being  
performed in page blocks.Thus, flash memory is often and more  
correctly referred to as Flash/EE memory.  
As indicated in the Specification tables, the ADuC836 Flash/EE  
Memory Endurance qualification has been carried out in  
accordance with JEDEC Specification A117 over the industrial  
temperature range of –40°C, +25°C, +85°C, and +125°C.The  
results allow the specification of a minimum endurance figure  
over supply and temperature of 100,000 cycles, with an endur-  
ance figure of 700,000 cycles being typical of operation at 25°C.

Retention quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to retain  
its programmed data over time. Again, the ADuC836 has been  
qualified in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention Life-  
time Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature  
(TJ = 55°C). As part of this qualification procedure, the Flash/EE  
memory is cycled to its specified endurance limit described above,  
before data retention is characterized.This means that the Flash/EE  
memory is guaranteed to retain its data for its full specified reten-  
tion lifetime every time the Flash/EE memory is reprogrammed.  
It should also be noted that retention lifetime, based on an activa-  
tion energy of 0.6 eV, will derate withTJ, as shown in Figure 16.  
Figure 15. Flash/EE Memory Development  
Overall, Flash/EE memory represents a step closer to the ideal  
memory device that includes nonvolatility, in-circuit programma-  
bility, high density, and low cost. Incorporated into the ADuC836,  
Flash/EE memory technology allows the user to update program  
code space in-circuit, without the need to replace one-time pro-  
grammable (OTP) devices at remote operating nodes.  
Flash/EE Memory and the ADuC836  
The ADuC836 provides two arrays of Flash/EE memory for user  
applications. 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program space are provided  
on-chip to facilitate code execution without any external dis-  
crete ROM device requirements.The program memory can be  
programmed in-circuit, using the serial download mode provided,  
using conventional third party memory programmers, or via any  
user defined protocol in User Download (ULOAD) mode.

Flash/EE Program Memory  
(2) Parallel Programming  
The ADuC836 contains a 64 Kbyte array of Flash/EE program  
memory. The lower 62 Kbytes of this program memory are avail-  
able to the user, and can be used for program storage or indeed  
as additional NV data memory.  
The Parallel Programming mode is fully compatible with con-  
ventional third party Flash or EEPROM device programmers.  
A block diagram of the external pin configuration required to  
support parallel programming is shown in Figure 18. In this mode,  
Ports 0 and 2 operate as the external address bus interface, P3  
operates as the external data bus interface, and P1.0 operates as  
theWrite Enable strobe. Port 1.1, P1.2, P1.3, and P1.4 are used  
as a general configuration port that configures the device for vari-  
ous program and erase operations during parallel programming.  
The upper 2 Kbytes of this Flash/EE program memory array con-  
tain permanently embedded firmware, allowing in-circuit serial  
download, serial debug, and nonintrusive single pin emulation.  
These 2 Kbytes of embedded firmware also contain a power-on  
configuration routine that downloads factory calibrated coeffi-  
cients to the various calibrated peripherals (ADC, temperature  
sensor, current sources, band gap references, and so on).

(1) Serial Downloading (In-Circuit Programming)  
The ADuC836 facilitates code download via the standard UART  
serial port.The ADuC836 will enter Serial Download mode after  
a reset or power cycle if the PSEN pin is pulled low through an  
external 1 kresistor. Once in serial download mode, the hidden  
embedded download kernel will execute.This allows the user to  
download code to the full 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memo-  
ry while the device is in circuit in its target application hardware.

A PC serial download executable is provided as part of the  
ADuC836 QuickStart development system. Application Note

by the embedded download kernel. This Application Note is

ADuC836  
Flash/EE Program Memory Security  
User Download Mode (ULOAD)  
The ADuC836 facilitates three modes of Flash/EE program memory  
security.These modes can be independently activated, restrict-  
ing access to the internal code space.These security modes can  
be enabled as part of serial download protocol, as described  
in Application Note uC004, or via parallel programming.The  
ADuC836 offers the following security modes:  
In Figure 17 we can see that it was possible to use the 62 Kbytes  
of Flash/EE program memory available to the user as one single  
block of memory. In this mode, all of the Flash/EE memory is  
read only to user code.  
However, the Flash/EE program memory can also be written to  
during runtime simply by entering ULOAD mode. In ULOAD  
mode, the lower 56 Kbytes of program memory can be erased  
and reprogrammed by user software, as shown in Figure 19.  
ULOAD mode can be used to upgrade your code in the field via  
any user defined download protocol. Configuring the SPI port on  
the ADuC836 as a slave, it is possible to completely reprogram  
the 56 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memory in only 5 seconds  
(see Application Note uC007).  
Lock Mode  
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel program-  
ming of the program memory. However, reading the memory in  
Parallel mode and reading the memory via a MOVC command  
from external memory is still allowed.This mode is deactivated  
by initiating an “erase code and data” command in Serial Down-  
load or Parallel Programming modes.  
Secure Mode  
Alternatively, ULOAD mode can be used to save data to the  
56 Kbytes of Flash/EE memory.This can be extremely useful in  
data logging applications where the ADuC836 can provide up to  
60 Kbytes of NV data memory on-chip (4 Kbytes of dedicated  
Flash/EE data memory also exist).  
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel program-  
ming of the program memory. Reading/verifying the memory  
in Parallel mode and reading the internal memory via a MOVC  
command from external memory is also disabled.This mode is  
deactivated by initiating an “erase code and data” command in  
Serial Download or Parallel Programming modes.  
The upper 6 Kbytes of the 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memory  
are only programmable via serial download or parallel program-  
ming.This means that this space appears as read-only to user  
code.Therefore, it cannot be accidently erased or reprogrammed  
by erroneous code execution.This makes it very suitable to use  
the 6 Kbytes as a bootloader. A Bootload Enable option exists in  
the serial downloader to “Always RUN from E000h after Reset.”  
If using a bootloader, this option is recommended to ensure that  
the bootloader always executes correct code after reset.  
Serial Safe Mode  
This mode disables serial download capability on the device.  
If Serial Safe mode is activated and an attempt is made to reset  
the part into Serial Download mode, i.e., RESET asserted and  
deasserted with PSEN low, the part will interpret the serial down-  
load reset as a normal reset only. It will therefore not enter Serial  
Download mode, but only execute a normal reset sequence.  
Serial Safe mode can only be disabled by initiating an “erase code  
and data” command in parallel programming mode.  
Programming the Flash/EE program memory via ULOAD mode  
is described in more detail in the description of ECON and also  
in Application Note uC007.

Programming the Flash/EE Data Memory  
A user wishes to program F3H into the second byte on Page 03H  
of the Flash/EE data memory space while preserving the other  
three bytes already in this page.  
set to FFH, it is nonetheless good programming practice to  
include an erase-all routine as part of any configuration/setup  
code running on the ADuC836. An ERASE-ALL command  
consists of writing 06H to the ECON SFR, which initiates an  
erase of the 4-Kbyte Flash/EE array.This command coded in  
8051 assembly would appear as:  
A typical program of the Flash/EE Data array will involve:  
1. Setting EADRH/L with the page address  
2.Writing the data to be programmed to the EDATA1–4  
3.Writing the ECON SFR with the appropriate command

Step 1: Set Up the Page Address

The two address registers, EADRH and EADRL, hold the high  
byte address and the low byte address of the page to be addressed.  
The assembly language to set up the address may appear as:

Typical program and erase times for the ADuC836 are as follows:

Step 3: Program Page  
A byte in the Flash/EE array can be programmed only if it has  
previously been erased.To be more specific, a byte can only be  
programmed if it already holds the value FFH. Because of the  
Flash/EE architecture, this erase must happen at a page level.  
Therefore, a minimum of four bytes (1 page) will be erased when  
an erase command is initiated. Once the page is erased, we can  
program the four bytes in-page and then perform a verification of  
the data.  
– 200 s  
It should be noted that a given mode of operation is initiated as  
soon as the command word is written to the ECON SFR.The  
core microcontroller operation on the ADuC836 is idled until the  
requested Program/Read or Erase mode is completed.  
In practice, this means that even though the Flash/EE memory  
mode of operation is typically initiated with a two-machine  
cycle MOV instruction (to write to the ECON SFR), the next  
instruction will not be executed until the Flash/EE operation is  
complete.This means that the core will not respond to interrupt  
requests until the Flash/EE operation is complete, although the  
core peripheral functions like counter/timers will continue to  
count and time as configured throughout this period.

that in 12-bit mode, the DAC voltage output will be updated

the reference source for the DAC is user selectable in software. It  
can be either AVDD orVREF. In 0-to-AVDD mode, the DAC output  
transfer function spans from 0V to the voltage at the AVDD pin.  
In 0-to-VREF mode, the DAC output transfer function spans from  
0V to the internalVREF (2.5V).The DAC output buffer amplifier  
features a true rail-to-rail output stage implementation.This means  
that, unloaded, each output is capable of swinging to within less than  
100 mV of both AVDD and ground. Moreover, the DAC’s linear-

is guaranteed through the full transfer function except codes 0

VREF = VDD = 3 V  
Note that Figure 22 represents a transfer function in 0-to-VDD mode  
only. In 0-to-VREF mode (withVREF <VDD), the lower nonlinearity  
would be similar, but the upper portion of the transfer function  
would follow the “ideal” line right to the end, showing no signs of  
endpoint linearity errors.  
For larger loads, the current drive capability may not be sufficient  
To increase the source and sink current capability of the DAC, an  
external buffer should be added, as shown in Figure 25.  
The endpoint nonlinearities conceptually illustrated in Figure 22  
get worse as a function of output loading. Most of the ADuC836  
data sheet specifications assume a 10 kresistive load to ground  
at the DAC output. As the output is forced to source or sink more  
current, the nonlinear regions at the top or bottom (respectively)  
of Figure 22 become larger.With larger current demands, this  
can significantly limit output voltage swing. Figures 23 and 24  
illustrate this behavior. It should be noted that the upper trace in  
each of these figures is valid only for an output range selection of  
0-to-AVDD. In 0-to-VREF mode, DAC loading will not cause high  
side voltage drops as long as the reference voltage remains below  
the upper trace in the corresponding figure. For example, if AVDD  
= 3V andVREF = 2.5V, the high side voltage will not be affected by  
loads less than 5 mA. But somewhere around 7 mA, the upper curve  
in Figure 24 drops below 2.5V (VREF), indicating that at these

Figure 25. Buffering the DAC Output  
The DAC output buffer also features a high impedance disable func-  
tion. In the chip’s default power-on state, the DAC is disabled and  
its output is in a high impedance state (or “three-state”) where  
they remain inactive until enabled in software.  
This means that if a zero output is desired during power-up or  
power-down transient conditions, a pull-down resistor must be  
added to each DAC output. Assuming this resistor is in place, the  
DAC output will remain at ground potential whenever the DAC  
is disabled.

PULSEWIDTH MODULATOR (PWM)  
The PWM uses five SFRs: the control SFR, PWMCON, and  
four data SFRs: PWM0H, PWM0L, PWM1H, and PWM1L.  
The PWM on the ADuC836 is a highly flexible PWM offering  
programmable resolution and input clock, and can be configured  
for any one of six different modes of operation.Two of these modes  
allow the PWM to be configured as a -DAC with up to 16 bits  
of resolution. A block diagram of the PWM is shown in Figure 26.  
PWMCON (as described inTable XVI) controls the different  
modes of operation of the PWM as well as the PWM clock fre-  
quency. PWM0H/L and PWM1H/L are the data registers that  
determine the duty cycles of the PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1.  
12.583MHz  
To use the PWM user software, first write to PWMCON to select  
the PWM mode of operation and the PWM input clock.Writing  
to PWMCON also resets the PWM counter. In any of the 16-bit  
modes of operation (modes 1, 3, 4, 6), user software should write  
to the PWM0L or PWM1L SFRs first.This value is written to a  
hidden SFR.Writing to the PWM0H or PWM1H SFRs updates  
both the PWMxH and the PWMxL SFRs but does not change  
the outputs until the end of the PWM cycle in progress.The  
values written to these 16-bit registers are then used in the next  
PWM cycle.

The PWM is disabled, allowing P1.0 and P1.1 to be used as normal.  
Mode 1: SingleVariable Resolution PWM  
In Mode 1, both the pulse length and the cycle time (period) are  
programmable in user code, allowing the resolution of the PWM  
to be variable.  
PWM1H  
0
P1.0  
P1.1  
PWM1H/L sets the period of the output waveform. Reducing  
PWM1H/L reduces the resolution of the PWM output but  
increases the maximum output rate of the PWM (e.g., setting  
PWM1H/L to 65536 gives a 16-bit PWM with a maximum  
output rate of 192 Hz (12.583 MHz/65536). Setting PWM1H/L  
to 4096 gives a 12-bit PWM with a maximum output rate of  
3072 Hz (12.583 MHz/4096)).  
Figure 28. PWM Mode 2  
Mode 3:Twin 16-Bit PWM  
In Mode 3, the PWM counter is fixed to count from 0 to 65536,  
giving a fixed 16-bit PWM. Operating from the 12.58 MHz core  
clock results in a PWM output rate of 192 Hz.The duty cycle of the  
PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1 is independently programmable.  
PWM0H/L sets the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform, as  
shown in Figure 27.  
PWM1H/L  
PWM COUNTER  
As in Figure 29, while the PWM counter is less than PWM0H/L,  
the output of PWM0 (P1.0) is high. Once the PWM counter  
equals PWM0H/L, PWM0 (P1.0) goes low and remains low until  
the PWM counter rolls over.  
PWM0H/L  
Similarly, while the PWM counter is less than PWM1H/L, the  
output of PWM1 (P1.1) is high. Once the PWM counter equals  
PWM1H/L, PWM1 (P1.1) goes low and remains low until the  
PWM counter rolls over.  
0
P1.0  
In this mode, both PWM outputs are synchronized (i.e., once the  
PWM counter rolls over to 0, both PWM0 (P1.0) and PWM1  
(P1.1) will go high).  
Figure 27. PWM in Mode 1  
Mode 2:Twin 8-Bit PWM  
In Mode 2, the duty cycle of the PWM outputs and the resolution  
of the PWM outputs are both programmable.The maximum  
resolution of the PWM output is eight bits.  
65536  
PWM COUNTER  
PWM1H/L  
PWM1L sets the period for both PWM outputs.Typically this will  
be set to 255 (FFH) to give an 8-bit PWM, although it is possible  
to reduce this as necessary. A value of 100 could be loaded here  
to give a percentage PWM (i.e., the PWM is accurate to 1%).  
PWM0H/L  
0
The outputs of the PWM at P1.0 and P1.1 are shown in Figure 28.  
As can be seen, the output of PWM0 (P1.0) goes low when the  
PWM counter equals PWM0L.The output of PWM1 (P1.1)  
goes high when the PWM counter equals PWM1H and goes low  
again when the PWM counter equals PWM0H. Setting PWM1H  
to 0 ensures that both PWM outputs start simultaneously.

Mode 4: Dual NRZ 16-Bit -DAC

equal to 12.58 MHz.  
PWM1L  
PWM COUNTERS  
PWM1H  
PWM0L  
In this mode, P1.0 and P1.1 are updated every PWM clock  
(80 ns in the case of 12.58 MHz). Over any 65536 cycles (16-bit  
PWM), PWM0 (P1.0) is high for PWM0H/L cycles and low for  
(65536 – PWM0H/L) cycles. Similarly, PWM1 (P1.1) is high for  
PWM1H/L cycles and low for (65536 – PWM1H/L) cycles.  
PWM0H

P1.0  
P1.1  
If PWM1H is set to 4010H (slightly above one quarter of FS),  
then typically P1.1 will be low for three clocks and high for one  
clock (each clock is approximately 80 ns). Over every 65536  
clocks, the PWM will compromise for the fact that the output  
should be slightly above one quarter of full scale by having a high  
cycle followed by only two low cycles.  
Figure 31. PWM Mode 5  
Mode 6: Dual RZ 16-Bit -DAC  
Mode 6 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a  
-DAC. Mode 6 operates very similarly to Mode 4. However,  
the key difference is that Mode 6 provides return to zero (RZ)  
-DAC output. Mode 4 provides non-return-to-zero -  
DAC outputs.The RZ mode ensures that any difference in the  
rise and fall times will not affect the -DAC INL. However,  
the RZ Mode halves the dynamic range of the -DAC outputs  
from 0AVDD to 0AVDD/2. For best results, this mode should  
be used with a PWM clock divider of 4.

(40 ns) before repeating itself. Over every 65536 clocks, the  
PWM will compromise for the fact that the output should be  
slightly above one quarter of full scale by leaving the output high  
for two half clocks in four every so often.

TheTIC is capable of timeout intervals ranging from 1/128th

(HTHSEC, SEC, MIN, and HOUR) whileTCEN is low.When  
the RTC timer is enabled (TCEN is set), theTCEN bit itself and  
the HTHSEC, SEC, MIN, and HOUR Registers are not reset to

the need to recalibrate the real-time clock after a reset. However,

Watchdog Interrupt Response Enable Bit. If this bit is set by the user, the watchdog will generate an interrupt  
response instead of a system reset when the watchdog timeout period has expired.This interrupt is not disabled by  
the CLR EA instruction, and it is also a fixed, high priority interrupt. If the watchdog is not being used to monitor  
the system, it can alternatively be used as a timer.The prescaler is used to set the timeout period in which an

ADuC836  
POWER SUPPLY MONITOR  
will interrupt the core using the PSMI bit in the PSMCON SFR.  
This bit will not be cleared until the failing power supply has  
returned above the trip point for at least 250 ms.This monitor  
function allows the user to save working registers to avoid possible  
data loss due to the low supply condition, and also ensures that  
normal code execution will not resume until a safe supply level  
has been well established.The supply monitor is also protected  
against spurious glitches triggering the interrupt circuit.  
As its name suggests, the Power Supply Monitor, once enabled,  
monitors both supplies (AVDD or DVDD) on the ADuC836. It will  
indicate when any of the supply pins drops below one of four  
user-selectable voltage trip points from 2.63V to 4.63V. For cor-  
rect operation of the Power Supply Monitor function, AVDD must  
be equal to or greater than 2.7V. Monitor function is controlled via  
the PSMCON SFR. If enabled via the IEIP2 SFR, the monitor

ADuC836  
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE  
MISO (Master In, Slave Out Data I/O Pin), Pin 14  
The MISO (master in slave out) pin is configured as an input line  
in Master mode and an output line in Slave mode.The MISO  
line on the master (data in) should be connected to the MISO  
line in the slave device (data out).The data is transferred as byte-  
wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.  
The ADuC836 integrates a complete hardware Serial Peripheral  
Interface (SPI) interface on-chip. SPI is an industry-standard  
synchronous serial interface that allows eight bits of data to be  
synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously, i.e., full-  
duplex. It should be noted that the SPI pins SCLOCK and MOSI  
are multiplexed with the I2C pins SCLOCK and SDATA.The pins  
are controlled via the I2CCON SFR only if SPE is clear. SPI can  
be configured for master or slave operation and typically consists of  
four pins:  
MOSI (Master Out, Slave In Pin), Pin 27  
The MOSI (master out slave in) pin is configured as an output  
line in Master mode and an input line in Slave mode.The MOSI  
line on the master (data out) should be connected to the MOSI  
line in the slave device (data in).The data is transferred as byte-  
wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.  
SCLOCK (Serial Clock I/O Pin), Pin 26  
The master clock (SCLOCK) is used to synchronize the data  
being transmitted and received through the MOSI and MISO  
data lines. A single data bit is transmitted and received in each  
SCLOCK period.Therefore, a byte is transmitted/received after  
eight SCLOCK periods.The SCLOCK pin is configured as an  
output in master mode and as an input in Slave mode. In Master  
mode, the bit rate, polarity, and phase of the clock are controlled  
by the CPOL, CPHA, SPR0, and SPR1 bits in the SPICON SFR  
(seeTable XXI). In Slave mode, the SPICON register will have  
to be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and CPOL)  
as the master, as for both Master and Slave modes the data is  
transmitted on one edge of the SCLOCK signal and sampled on  
the other.  
SS (Slave Select Input Pin), Pin 13  
The Slave Select (SS) input pin is only used when the ADuC836  
is configured in SPI Slave mode.This line is active low. Data is  
only received or transmitted in Slave mode when the SS pin is low,  
allowing the ADuC836 to be used in single master, multislave SPI  
configurations. If CPHA = 1, the SS input may be permanently  
pulled low.With CPHA = 0, the SS input must be driven low  
before the first bit in a byte wide transmission or reception and  
return high again after the last bit in that byte-wide transmission or  
reception. In SPI Slave mode, the logic level on the external SS pin  
(Pin 13) can be read via the SPR0 bit in the SPICON SFR.  
The following SFR registers are used to control the SPI interface.

SPI Interface—Master Mode  
Depending on the configuration of the bits in the SPICON SFR  
shown inTable XXI, the ADuC836 SPI interface will transmit  
or receive data in a number of possible modes. Figure 34 shows  
all possible ADuC836 SPI configurations and the timing rela-  
tionships and synchronization between the signals involved. Also  
shown in this figure is the SPI Interrupt bit (ISPI) and how it is  
triggered at the end of each byte-wide communication.  
In Master mode, the SCLOCK pin is always an output and gen-  
erates a burst of eight clocks whenever user code writes to the  
SPIDAT Register.The SCLOCK bit rate is determined by SPR0  
and SPR1 in SPICON. It should also be noted that the SS pin  
is not used in Master mode. If the ADuC836 needs to assert  
the SS pin on an external slave device, a port digital output pin  
should be used.  
SCLOCK  
(CPOL = 1)  
In Master mode, a byte transmission or reception is initiated  
by a write to SPIDAT. Eight clock periods are generated via  
the SCLOCK pin and the SPIDAT byte being transmitted via  
MOSI.With each SCLOCK period, a data bit is also sampled  
via MISO. After eight clocks, the transmitted byte will have been  
completely transmitted and the input byte will be waiting in the  
input shift register.The ISPI flag will be set automatically and an  
interrupt will occur if enabled.The value in the shift register will  
be latched into SPIDAT.

ADuC836  
The main features of the MicroConverter I2C interface are:  
Once enabled in I2C Slave mode, the slave controller waits for  
a START condition. If the ADuC836 detects a valid start con-  
dition followed by a valid address, and by the R/W bit, the I2CI  
interrupt bit will be automatically set by hardware.  
Only two bus lines are required: a serial data line (SDATA)  
and a serial clock line (SCLOCK).  
An I2C master can communicate with multiple slave devices.  
Because each slave device has a unique 7-bit address, single  
master/slave relationships can exist at all times even in a  
multislave environment (Figure 35).  
The I2C peripheral will only generate a core interrupt if the user  
has preconfigured the I2C interrupt enable bit in the IEIP2 SFR  
as well as the global interrupt Bit EA in the IE SFR, i.e.,

If for any reason the user tries to clear the interrupt more than  
once, i.e., access the data SFR more than once per interrupt,  
then the I2C controller will halt.The interface will then have to  
be reset using the I2CRS bit.  
I C  
SLAVE #2  
Figure 35. Typical I2C System  
The user can choose to poll the I2CI bit or enable the interrupt.  
In the case of the interrupt, the PC counter will vector to 003BH  
at the end of each complete byte. For the first byte when the user  
gets to the I2CI ISR, the 7-bit address and the R/W bit will appear  
in the I2CDAT SFR.  
Software Master Mode  
The ADuC836 can be used as an I2C master device by configuring  
the I2C peripheral in Master mode and writing software to output  
the data bit by bit, which is referred to as a software master. Master  
mode is enabled by setting the I2CM bit in the I2CCON register.  
The I2CTX bit contains the R/W bit sent from the master. If  
I2CTX is set, the master would like to receive a byte.Therefore,  
the slave will transmit data by writing to the I2CDAT register.  
If I2CTX is cleared, the master would like to transmit a byte.  
Therefore, the slave will receive a serial byte.The software can  
interrogate the state of I2CTX to determine whether it should  
write to or read from I2CDAT.  
To transmit data on the SDATA line, MDE must be set to enable  
the output driver on the SDATA pin. If MDE is set, the SDATA  
pin will be pulled high or low depending on whether the MDO  
bit is set or cleared. MCO controls the SCLOCK pin and is  
always configured as an output in Master mode. In Master mode,  
the SCLOCK pin will be pulled high or low depending on the  
whether MCO is set or cleared.  
Once the ADuC836 has received a valid address, hardware will  
hold SCLOCK low until the I2CI bit is cleared by the software.  
This allows the master to wait for the slave to be ready before  
transmitting the clocks for the next byte.  
To receive data, MDE must be cleared to disable the output driver  
on SDATA. Software must provide the clocks by toggling the  
MCO bit and reading the SDATA pin via the MDI bit. If MDE  
is cleared, MDI can be used to read the SDATA pin.The value of  
the SDATA pin is latched into MDI on a rising edge of SCLOCK.  
MDI is set if the SDATA pin was high on the last rising edge of  
SCLOCK. MDI is clear if the SDATA pin was low on the last  
rising edge of SCLOCK.  
The I2CI interrupt bit will be set every time a complete data byte  
is received or transmitted provided it is followed by a valid ACK.  
If the byte is followed by a NACK, an interrupt is generated.The  
ADuC836 will continue to issue interrupts for each complete  
data byte transferred until a STOP condition is received or the  
interface is reset.  
Software must control MDO, MCO, and MDE appropriately to  
generate the START condition, slave address, acknowledge bits,  
data bytes, and STOP conditions.These functions are provided  
in Application Note uC001.  
When a STOP condition is received, the interface will reset to a  
state where it is waiting to be addressed (idle). Similarly, if the  
interface receives a NACK at the end of a sequence, it also returns  
to the default idle state.The I2CRS bit can be used to reset the  
I2C interface.This bit can be used to force the interface back to  
the default idle state.  
Hardware Slave Mode  
After reset, the ADuC836 defaults to hardware Slave mode.The  
I2C interface is enabled by clearing the SPE bit in SPICON.  
Slave mode is enabled by clearing the I2CM bit in I2CCON.  
The ADuC836 has a full hardware slave. In Slave mode, the I2C  
address is stored in the I2CADD register. Data received or to be  
transmitted is stored in the I2CDAT register.  
It should be noted that there is no way (in hardware) to distinguish  
between an interrupt generated by a received START + valid  
address and an interrupt generated by a received data byte. User  
software must be used to distinguish between these interrupts.

ADuC836  
8052 COMPATIBLE ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS  
This section gives a brief overview of the various secondary  
peripheral circuits, which are also available to the user on-chip.  
These remaining functions are mostly 8052 compatible (with  
a few additional features) and are controlled via standard 8052  
SFR bit definitions.  
Port 1  
Port 1 is also an 8-bit port directly controlled via the P1 SFR.  
The Port 1 pins are divided into two distinct pin groupings: P1.0  
to P1.1 and P1.2 to P1.7.  
P1.0 and P1.1  
P1.0 and P1.1 are bidirectional digital I/O pins with internal  
pull-ups.  
Parallel I/O  
The ADuC836 uses four input/output ports to exchange data  
with external devices. In addition to performing general-purpose  
I/O, some ports are capable of external memory operations while  
others are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral  
features on the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled,  
that pin may not be used as a general-purpose I/O pin.  
If P1.0 and P1.1 have 1s written to them via the P1 SFR, they are  
pulled high by the internal pull-up resistors. In this state, they can  
also be used as inputs. As input pins being externally pulled low,  
they will source current because of the internal pull-ups.With 0s  
written to them, both of these pins will drive a logic low output  
voltage (VOL) and will be capable of sinking 10 mA compared to  
the standard 1.6 mA sink capability on the other port pins.  
Port 0  
Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bidirectional I/O port that is directly  
controlled via the Port 0 SFR. Port 0 is also the multiplexed low  
order address and data bus during accesses to external program  
or data memory.  
These pins also have various secondary functions described in  
Table XXIV.TheTimer 2 alternate functions of P1.0 and P1.1  
can only be activated if the corresponding bit latch in the P1 SFR  
contains a 1. Otherwise, the port pin is stuck at 0. In the case of  
the PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1, the PWM outputs will over-  
write anything written to P1.0 or P1.1.  
Figure 36 shows a typical bit latch and I/O buffer for a Port 0  
port pin.The bit latch (one bit in the port’s SFR) is represented  
as aType D flip-flop, which will clock in a value from the internal  
bus in response to a “write to latch” signal from the CPU.The Q  
output of the flip-flop is placed on the internal bus in response to  
a “read latch” signal from the CPU.The level of the port pin itself  
is placed on the internal bus in response to a “read pin” signal  
from the CPU. Some instructions that read a port activate the  
“read latch” signal, and others activate the “read pin” signal. See  
the Read-Modify-Write Instructions section for more details.

As shown in Figure 36, the output drivers of Port 0 pins are  
switchable to an internal ADDR and ADDR/DATA bus by an  
internal CONTROL signal for use in external memory accesses.  
During external memory accesses, the P0 SFR is written with  
1s (i.e., all of its bit latches become 1s).When accessing external  
memory, the CONTROL signal in Figure 36 goes high, enabling  
push-pull operation of the output pin from the internal address  
or data bus (ADDR/DATA line).Therefore, no external pull-ups  
are required on Port 0 for it to access external memory.  
FUNCTION  
Figure 37. P1.0 and P1.1 Bit Latch and I/O Buffer  
The internal pull-up consists of active circuitry, as shown in  
Figure 38.Whenever a P1.0 or P1.1 bit latch transitions from low  
to high, Q1 in Figure 38 turns on for two oscillator periods to  
quickly pull the pin to a logic high state. Once there, the weaker  
Q3 turns on, thereby latching the pin to a logic high. If the pin  
is momentarily pulled low externally, Q3 will turn off, but the  
very weak Q2 will continue to source some current into the pin,  
attempting to restore it to a logic high.  
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 0 pins that have 1s writ-  
ten to them via the Port 0 SFR will be configured as open-drain  
and therefore will float. In this state, Port 0 pins can be used as  
high impedance inputs.This is represented in Figure 36 by the  
NAND gate whose output remains high as long as the CONTROL  
signal is low, thereby disabling the top FET. External pull-up  
resistors are therefore required when Port 0 pins are used as  
general-purpose outputs. Port 0 pins with 0s written to them will  
drive a logic low output voltage (VOL) and will be capable of sink-  
ing 1.6 mA.

Port 3 pins also have various secondary functions described in  
Table XXV.The alternate functions of Port 3 pins can be activated  
only if the corresponding bit latch in the P3 SFR contains a 1.  
Otherwise, the port pin is stuck at 0.  
The remaining Port 1 pins (P1.2 to P1.7) can only be configured as  
analog input (ADC) or digital input pins. By (power-on) default,  
these pins are configured as analog inputs, i.e., 1 written in the  
corresponding Port 1 register bit.To configure any of these pins  
as digital inputs, the user should write a 0 to these port bits to  
configure the corresponding pin as a high impedance digital input.  
Figure 39 illustrates this function. Note that there are no output  
drivers for Port 1 pins, and they therefore cannot be used as  
outputs.

Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors directly

In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 2 pins that have 1s written  
to them are pulled high by the internal pull-ups (Figure 38), and in  
that state can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins being pulled  
externally low will source current because of the internal pull-up  
resistors. Port 2 pins with 0s written to them will drive a logic low  
output voltage (VOL) and will be capable of sinking 1.6 mA.

Additional Digital I/O  
In addition to the port pins, the dedicated SPI/I2C pins (SCLOCK  
and SDATA/MOSI) also feature both input and output functions.  
Their equivalent I/O architectures are illustrated in Figure 42 and  
Figure 44, respectively, for SPI operation, and in Figure 43 and  
Figure 45 for I2C operation.  
Notice that in I2C mode (SPE = 0), the strong pull-up FET (Q1) is  
disabled leaving only a weak pull-up (Q2) present. By contrast, in  
SPI mode (SPE = 1), the strong pull-up FET (Q1) is controlled  
directly by SPI hardware, giving the pin push/pull capability.

In I2C mode (SPE = 0), two pull-down FETs (Q3 and Q4)  
operate in parallel in order to provide an extra 60% or 70% of  
current sinking capability. In SPI mode, however, (SPE = 1), only  
one of the pull-down FETs (Q3) operates on each pin resulting  
in sink capabilities identical to that of Port 0 and Port 2 pins.  
Figure 40. Port 2 Bit Latch and I/O Buffer  
Port 3  
Port 3 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-ups directly controlled  
via the P3 SFR.  
Port 3 pins that have 1s written to them are pulled high by the  
internal pull-ups, and in that state can be used as inputs. As inputs,  
Port 3 pins being pulled externally low will source current because  
of the internal pull-ups. Port 3 pins with 0s written to them will  
drive a logic low output voltage (VOL) and will be capable of sink-  
ing 1.6 mA.  
On the input path of SCLOCK, notice that a Schmitt trigger  
conditions the signal going to the SPI hardware to prevent false  
triggers (double triggers) on slow incoming edges. For incoming  
signals from the SCLOCK and SDATA pins going to I2C hardware,  
a filter conditions the signals to reject glitches of up to 50 ns in  
duration.

Notice also that direct access to the SCLOCK and SDATA/MOSI  
pins is afforded through the SFR interface in I2C master mode.  
Therefore, if you are not using the SPI or I2C functions, you can  
use these two pins to provide additional high current digital outputs.  
As shown in Figure 46, the MISO pin in SPI master/slave opera-  
tion offers the exact same pull-up and pull-down configuration as  
the MOSI pin in SPI slave/master operation.  
The SS pin has a weak internal pull-up permanently enabled to  
prevent the SS input from floating.This pull-up can be easily  
overdriven by an external device to drive the SS pin low.

The reason that read-modify-write instructions are directed to  
the latch rather than to the pin is to avoid a possible misinter-  
pretation of the voltage level of a pin. For example, a port pin  
might be used to drive the base of a transistor.When a 1 is written  
to the bit, the transistor is turned on. If the CPU then reads the  
same port bit at the pin rather than the latch, it will read the base  
voltage of the transistor and interpret it as a Logic 0. Reading the  
latch rather than the pin will return the correct value of 1.

every machine cycle.When the samples show a high in one cycle  
and a low in the next cycle, the count is incremented.The new  
count value appears in the register during S3P1 of the cycle fol-  
lowing the one in which the transition was detected. Since it takes  
two machine cycles (16 core clock periods) to recognize a 1-to-0  
transition, the maximum count rate is 1/16 of the core clock fre-  
quency.There are no restrictions on the duty cycle of the external  
input signal, but to ensure that a given level is sampled at least  
once before it changes, it must be held for a minimum of one full  
machine cycle. Remember that the core clock frequency is pro-  
grammed via the CD0–2 selection bits in the PLLCON SFR.  
The ADuC836 has three 16-bitTimer/Counters:Timer 0,Timer 1,  
andTimer 2.TheTimer/Counter hardware has been included  
on-chip to relieve the processor core of the overhead inherent in  
implementing timer/counter functionality in software. Each  
Timer/Counter consists of two 8-bit registers:THx and TLx  
(x = 0, 1, and 2). All three can be configured to operate either as  
timers or event counters.  
InTimer function, theTLx Register is incremented every machine  
cycle.Thus it can be viewed as counting machine cycles. Since  
a machine cycle consists of 12 core clock periods, the maximum  
count rate is 1/12 of the core clock frequency.  
User configuration and control of the timers is achieved via three  
main SFRs:TMOD andTCON control the configuration of  
Timers 0 and 1, whileT2CON configuresTimer 2.  
In Counter function, theTLx Register is incremented by a 1-to-0  
transition at its corresponding external input pin,T0,T1, orT2.  
In this function, the external input is sampled during S5P2 of

which are preset by software.The reload leavesTH0 unchanged.

Mode 3 has different effects onTimer 0 andTimer 1.Timer 1 in  
Mode 3 simply holds its count.The effect is the same as setting  
TR1 = 0.Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishesTL0 andTH0 as two  
separate counters.This configuration is shown in Figure 51.TL0  
uses theTimer 0 control bits: C/T, Gate,TR0, INT0, andTF0.  
TH0 is locked into a timer function (counting machine cycles)  
and takes over the use ofTR1 andTF1 fromTimer 1.Thus,TH0  
now controls theTimer 1 interrupt. Mode 3 is provided for appli-  
cations requiring an extra 8-bit timer or counter.  
In this mode, the timer register is configured as a 13-bit register.  
As the count rolls over from all 1s to all 0s, it sets the timer over-  
flow flag.The overflow flag,TF0, can then be used to request an  
interrupt.The counted input is enabled to the timer whenTR0 = 1  
and either Gate = 0 or INT0 = 1. Setting Gate = 1 allows the  
timer to be controlled by external input INT0 to facilitate pulse-  
width measurements.TR0 is a control bit in the special function  
registerTCON; Gate is inTMOD.The 13-bit register consists  
of all eight bits ofTH0 and the lower five bits ofTL0.The upper  
three bits ofTL0 are indeterminate and should be ignored. Setting  
the run flag (TR0) does not clear the registers.  
WhenTimer 0 is in Mode 3,Timer 1 can be turned on and off by  
switching it out of and into its own Mode 3, or it can still be used by  
the serial interface as a baud rate generator. In fact, it can be used in  
any application not requiring an interrupt fromTimer 1 itself.  
Mode 1 (16-BitTimer/Counter)  
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that the timer register is  
running with all 16 bits. Mode 1 is shown in Figure 49.

TIMER/COUNTER 2 OPERATING MODES  
16-Bit Capture Mode  
The following paragraphs describe the operating modes for  
Timer/Counter 2.The operating modes are selected by bits in the  
T2CON SFR, as shown inTable XXIX.  
Capture Mode has two options, which are selected by bit EXEN2  
inT2CON. If EXEN2 = 0,Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer or counter  
that, upon overflowing, sets bitTF2, theTimer 2 overflow bit,  
which can be used to generate an interrupt. If EXEN2 = 1,Timer 2  
still performs the above, but a l-to-0 transition on external input  
T2EX causes the current value in the Timer 2 registers,TL2  
andTH2, to be captured into registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H,  
respectively. In addition, the transition atT2EX causes bit EXF2  
inT2CON to be set; EXF2, likeTF2, can generate an interrupt.

16-Bit Autoreload Mode  
Autoreload mode has two options, which are selected by bit  
EXEN2 inT2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, whenTimer 2 rolls over,  
it not only setsTF2 but also causes theTimer 2 registers to be  
reloaded with the 16-bit value in registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H,  
which are preset by software. If EXEN2 = 1,Timer 2 still  
performs the above, but with the added feature that a 1-to-0 tran-  
sition at external inputT2EX will also trigger the 16-bit reload  
and set EXF2.The Autoreload mode is illustrated in Figure 52.  
In either case, if Timer 2 is being used to generate the baud rate,  
theTF2 interrupt flag will not occur.ThereforeTimer 2 inter-  
rupts will not occur so they do not have to be disabled. However,  
in this mode, the EXF2 flag can still cause interrupts and this can  
be used as a third external interrupt.  
Baud rate generation will be described as part of the UART serial  
port operation.

SBUF  
UART SERIAL INTERFACE  
The serial port receive and transmit registers are both accessed  
through the SBUF SFR (SFR address = 99H).Writing to SBUF  
loads the transmit register, and reading SBUF accesses a physi-  
cally separate receive register.  
The serial port is full-duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive  
simultaneously. It is also receive-buffered, meaning it can com-  
mence reception of a second byte before a previously received byte  
has been read from the receive register. However, if the first byte  
still has not been read by the time reception of the second byte is  
complete, the first byte will be lost.The physical interface to the  
serial data network is via pins RxD(P3.0) andTxD(P3.1), while  
the SFR interface to the UART comprises the following registers:

Mode 1: 8-Bit UART,Variable Baud Rate  
To transmit, the eight data bits must be written into SBUF.The  
ninth bit must be written toTB8 in SCON.When transmission  
is initiated, the eight data bits (from SBUF) are loaded onto the  
transmit shift register (LSB first).The contents ofTB8 are loaded  
into the ninth bit position of the transmit shift register.  
Mode 1 is selected by clearing SM0 and setting SM1. Each data  
byte (LSB first) is preceded by a start bit (0) and followed by a  
stop bit (1).Therefore 10 bits are transmitted onTxD or received  
on RxD.The baud rate can be set byTimer 1 orTimer 2 (or both).  
Alternatively, a dedicated baud rate generator,Timer 3, is pro-  
vided on-chip to generate high speed, very accurate baud rates.  
The transmission will start at the next valid baud rate clock.The  
TI flag is set as soon as the stop bit appears onTxD.  
Transmission is initiated by writing to SBUF.The “write to  
SBUF” signal also loads a 1 (stop bit) into the ninth bit position  
of theTransmit Shift Register.The data is output bit by bit until  
the stop bit appears onTxD and the transmit interrupt flag (TI)  
is automatically set, as shown in Figure 55.  
Reception for Mode 2 is similar to that of Mode 1.The eight data  
bytes are input at RxD (LSB first) and loaded onto the Receive  
Shift Register.When all eight bits have been clocked in, the fol-  
lowing events occur:

Either SM2 = 0, or SM2 = 1 and the received stop bit = 1.  
Reception is initiated when a 1-to-0 transition is detected on  
RxD. Assuming a valid start bit was detected, character reception  
continues.The start bit is skipped and the eight data bits are  
clocked into the serial port shift register.When all eight bits have  
been clocked in, the following events occur:  
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is  
irretrievably lost and RI is not set.  
Mode 3: 9-Bit UART withVariable Baud Rate  
Mode 3 is selected by setting both SM0 and SM1. In this mode,  
the 8051 UART serial port operates in 9-bit mode with a variable  
baud rate determined by eitherTimer 1 orTimer 2.The operation  
of the 9-bit UART is the same as for Mode 2, but the baud rate  
can be varied as for Mode 1.  
The eight bits in the Receive Shift Register are latched into  
SBUF.  
The ninth bit (stop bit) is clocked into RB8 in SCON.  
The Receiver Interrupt flag (RI) is set.  
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction  
that uses SBUF as a destination register. Reception is initiated in  
Mode 0 by the condition RI = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is initi-  
ated in the other modes by the incoming start bit if REN = 1.  
If, and only if, the following conditions are met at the time, the  
final shift pulse is generated:  
RI = 0, and

irretrievably lost and RI is not set.

Mode 2: 9-Bit UART with Fixed Baud Rate  
Mode 2 is selected by setting SM0 and clearing SM1. In this mode,  
the UART operates in 9-bit mode with a fixed baud rate.The baud  
rate is fixed at Core_Clk/64 by default, although by setting the  
SMOD bit in PCON, the frequency can be doubled to Core_Clk/32.  
Eleven bits are transmitted or received, a start bit (0), eight data  
bits, a programmable ninth bit, and a stop bit (1).The ninth bit  
is most often used as a parity bit, although it can be used for any-  
thing, including a ninth data bit if required.  
Mode 2 Baud Rate Generation  
The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of the SMOD bit  
in the PCON SFR. If SMOD = 0, the baud rate is 1/64 of the  
core clock. If SMOD = 1, the baud rate is 1/32 of the core clock:  
fCORE* × 2SMOD  
Mode 2 Baud Rate =  
64  
Mode 1 and 3 Baud Rate Generation  
Traditionally, the baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by  
the overflow rate inTimer 1 or Timer 2, or both (one for transmit  
and the other for receive). On the ADuC836, however, the baud  
rate can also be generated via a separate baud rate generator to  
achieve higher baud rates and allow all three to be used for other  
functions.  
*fCORE refers to the output of the PLL as described in the On-Chip PLL section.

BAUD RATE GENERATION USINGTIMER 1 ANDTIMER 2  
Timer 1 Generated Baud Rates  
WhenTimer 1 is used as the baud rate generator, the baud rates  
in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by theTimer 1 overflow rate  
and the value of SMOD as follows:  
Timer 2 Generated Baud Rates  
Baud rates can also be generated usingTimer 2. UsingTimer 2 is  
similar to usingTimer 1 in that the timer must overflow 16 times  
before a bit is transmitted/received. BecauseTimer 2 has a 16-bit  
Autoreload mode, a wider range of baud rates is possible.  
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate = 2SMOD 32 × Timer 1 Overflow Rate  
Mode 1 and Mode 3 Baud Rate = 1 16 × Timer 2 Overflow Rate

TheTimer 1 interrupt should be disabled in this application.  
The timer itself can be configured for either timer or counter  
operation, and in any of its three running modes. In the most  
typical application, it is configured for timer operation, in the  
Autoreload mode (high nibble ofTMOD = 0100 binary). In this  
case, the baud rate is given by the formula:  
Therefore whenTimer 2 is used to generate baud rates, the timer  
increments every two clock cycles and not every core machine  
cycle as before.Thus, it increments six times faster thanTimer 1,  
and therefore baud rates six times faster are possible. Because  
Timer 2 has a 16-bit autoreload capability, very low baud rates  
are still possible.

Mode 1 and Mode 3 Baud Rate =  
32 × 12 256 TH1  
Timer 2 is selected as the baud rate generator by setting theTCLK  
and/or RCLK inT2CON.The baud rates for transmit and receive  
can be simultaneously different. Setting RCLK and/orTCLK puts  
Timer 2 into its baud rate generator mode, as shown in Figure 56.  
In this case, the baud rate is given by the formula:  
(
)
A very low baud rate can also be achieved withTimer 1 by leaving  
theTimer 1 interrupt enabled, configuring the timer to run as a  
16-bit timer (high nibble ofTMOD = 0100 binary), and using  
theTimer 1 interrupt to do a 16-bit software reload.Table XXXI  
shows some commonly used baud rates and how they might  
be calculated from a core clock frequency of 1.5728 MHz and  
12.58 MHz usingTimer 1. Generally speaking, a 5% error is  
tolerable using asynchronous (start/stop) communications.

BAUD RATE GENERATION USINGTIMER 3  
The appropriate value to write to the DIV2-1-0 bits can be cal-  
culated using the following formula where fCORE is the output of  
the PLL, as described in the On-Chip PLL section. Note that the  
DIV value must be rounded down.  
The high integer dividers in a UART block means that high  
speed baud rates are not always possible using some particular  
crystals, e.g., using a 12 MHz crystal, a baud rate of 115200 is  
not possible.To address this problem, the ADuC836 has added  
a dedicated baud rate timer (Timer 3) specifically for generating  
highly accurate baud rates.  
fCORE  
32 × Baud Rate  
log  
DIV =  
log 2  
( )  
Timer 3 can be used instead of Timer 1 orTimer 2 for generating  
very accurate high speed UART baud rates including 115200 and  
230400.Timer 3 also allows a much wider range of baud rates to  
be obtained. In fact, every desired bit rate from 12 bits to 393216  
bits can be generated to within an error of ±0.8%.Timer 3 also  
frees up the other three timers allowing them to be used for dif-  
ferent applications. A block diagram of Timer 3 is shown in  
Figure 57.  
T3FD is the fractional divider ratio required to achieve the  
required baud rate.We can calculate the appropriate value for  
T3FD using the following formula. Note that the T3FD should  
be rounded to the nearest integer.

INTERRUPT SYSTEM  
The ADuC836 provides a total of 11 interrupt sources with two priority levels.The control and configuration of the interrupt system  
are carried out through three interrupt-related SFRs: the IE (Interrupt Enable) Register, IP (Interrupt Priority Register), and IEIP2  
(Secondary Interrupt Enable/Priority SFR) Registers.Their bit definitions are given in theTables XXXV to XXXVII.

Interrupt Priority  
InterruptVectors  
The Interrupt Enable registers are written by the user to enable  
individual interrupt sources, while the Interrupt Priority registers  
allow the user to select one of two priority levels for each inter-  
rupt. An interrupt of a high priority may interrupt the service  
routine of a low priority interrupt, and if two interrupts of differ-  
ent priority occur at the same time, the higher level interrupt will  
be serviced first. An interrupt cannot be interrupted by another  
interrupt of the same priority level. If two interrupts of the same  
priority level occur simultaneously, a polling sequence is used to  
determine which interrupt is serviced first.The polling sequence  
is shown inTable XXXVIII.  
When an interrupt occurs, the program counter is pushed onto  
the stack and the corresponding interrupt vector address is loaded  
into the program counter.The interrupt vector addresses are  
shown inTable XXXIX.

*The watchdog can be configured to generate an interrupt instead of  
a reset when it times out.This is used for logging errors or examining  
the internal status of the microcontroller core to understand, from  
a software debug point of view, why a watchdog timeout occurred.  
The watchdog interrupt is slightly different from the normal inter-  
rupts in that its priority level is always set to 1 and it is not possible  
to disable the interrupt via the global disable bit (EA) in the IE SFR.  
This is done to ensure that the interrupt will always be responded  
to if a watchdog timeout occurs.The watchdog will only produce an  
interrupt if the watchdog timeout is greater than zero.

ADuC836 HARDWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS  
This section outlines some of the key hardware design consider-  
ations that must be addressed when integrating the ADuC836  
into any hardware system.  
Though both external program memory and external data memory  
are accessed using some of the same pins, the two are completely  
independent of each other from a software point of view. For  
example, the chip can read/write external data memory while  
executing from external program memory.  
External Memory Interface  
In addition to its internal program and data memories, the  
ADuC836 can access up to 64 Kbytes of external program memory  
(ROM, PROM, and so on) and up to 16 Mbytes of external data  
memory (SRAM).  
Figure 59 shows a hardware configuration for accessing up to  
64 Kbytes of external data memory.This interface is standard to  
any 8051 compatible MCU.  
SRAM  
ADuC836  
To select from which code space (internal or external program  
memory) to begin executing code, tie the EA (external access)  
pin high or low, respectively.When EA is high (pulled up toVDD),  
user program execution will start at Address 0 in the internal  
62 Kbytes Flash/EE code space.When EA is low (tied to ground)  
user program execution will start at Address 0 in the external  
code space.When executing from internal code space, accesses  
to the program space above F7FFH (62 Kbytes) will be read as  
NOP instructions.

Note that a second very important function of the EA pin is  
described in the Single Pin Emulation Mode section.  
External program memory (if used) must be connected to the  
ADuC836, as illustrated in Figure 58. Sixteen I/O lines (Ports 0  
and 2) are dedicated to bus functions during external program  
memory fetches. Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed address/data  
bus. It emits the low byte of the program counter (PCL) as  
an address, and then goes into a high impedance input state  
awaiting the arrival of the code byte from the program memory.  
During the time that the low byte of the program counter is valid  
on P0, the signal ALE (Address Latch Enable) clocks this byte  
into an external address latch. Meanwhile, Port 2 (P2) emits the  
high byte of the program counter (PCH), and PSEN strobes the  
EPROM and the code byte is read into the ADuC836.  
Figure 59. External Data Memory Interface  
(64 Kbytes Address Space)  
If access to more than 64 Kbytes of RAM is desired, a feature  
unique to the MicroConverter allows addressing up to 16 Mbytes  
of external RAM simply by adding an additional latch, as illus-  
trated in Figure 60.

Figure 60. External Data Memory Interface  
(16 Mbytes Address Space)  
In either implementation, Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed  
address/data bus. It emits the low byte of the data pointer (DPL)  
as an address, which is latched by ALE prior to data being placed  
on the bus by the ADuC836 (write operation) or by the external  
data memory (read operation). Port 2 (P2) provides the data  
pointer page byte (DPP) to be latched by ALE, followed by the  
data pointer high byte (DPH). If no latch is connected to P2,  
DPP is ignored by the SRAM, and the 8051 standard of 64 Kbyte  
external data memory access is maintained.  
Figure 58. External Program Memory Interface  
Note that program memory addresses are always 16 bits wide,  
even in cases where the actual amount of program memory used  
is less than 64 Kbytes. External program execution sacrifices  
two of the 8-bit ports (P0 and P2) to the function of addressing  
the program memory.While executing from external program  
memory, Ports 0 and 2 can be used simultaneously for read/write  
access to external data memory, but not for general-purpose I/O.  
Detailed timing diagrams of external program and data memory  
read and write access can be found in theTiming Specifications  
section.

Power Supplies  
Notice that in Figures 61 and 62, a large value (10 F) reservoir  
capacitor sits on DVDD and a separate 10 F capacitor sits on  
AVDD. Also, local decoupling capacitors (0.1 F) are located at  
eachVDD pin of the chip. As per standard design practice, be sure  
to include all of these capacitors and ensure the smaller capacitors  
are closest to eachVDD pin with lead lengths as short as possible.  
Connect the ground terminal of each of these capacitors directly to  
the underlying ground plane. Finally, it should also be noticed that,  
at all times, the analog and digital ground pins on the ADuC836  
should be referenced to the same system ground reference point.  
The ADuC836’s operational power supply voltage range is 2.7V  
to 5.25V. Although the guaranteed data sheet specifications are  
given only for power supplies within 2.7V to 3.6V or +5% of the  
nominal 5V level, the chip will function equally well at any power  
supply level between 2.7V and 5.25V.  
Separate analog and digital power supply pins (AVDD and DVDD  
,
respectively) allow AVDD to be kept relatively free of noisy digital  
signals that are often present on the system DVDD line. In this mode,  
the part can also operate with split supplies, that is, using different  
voltage supply levels for each supply. For example, this means that  
the system can be designed to operate with a DVDD voltage level of  
3V while the AVDD level can be at 5V, or vice-versa if required. A  
typical split-supply configuration is shown in Figure 61.  
Power-On Reset (POR) Operation  
An internal POR (Power-On Reset) is implemented on the  
ADuC836. For DVDD below 2.45V, the internal POR will hold  
the ADuC836 in reset. As DVDD rises above 2.45V, an internal  
timer will time out for typically 128 ms before the part is  
released from reset.The user must ensure that the power supply  
has reached a stable 2.7V minimum level by this time. Likewise  
on power-down, the internal POR will hold the ADuC836 in  
reset until the power supply has dropped below 1V. Figure 63  
illustrates the operation of the internal POR in detail.

As an alternative to providing two separate power supplies, AVDD  
can be kept quiet by placing a small series resistor and/or ferrite  
bead between it and DVDD, and then decoupling AVDD separately  
to ground. An example of this configuration is shown in Figure 62.  
In this configuration, other analog circuitry (such as op amps,  
voltage reference, and so on) can be powered from the AVDD  
supply line as well.

The DVDD power supply current consumption is specified in  
normal, idle, and power-down modes.The AVDD power supply  
current is specified with the analog peripherals disabled.The  
normal mode power consumption represents the current drawn  
from DVDD by the digital core.The other on-chip peripherals  
(watchdog timer, power supply monitor, and so on) consume  
negligible current and are therefore lumped in with the normal  
operating current here. Of course, the user must add any currents  
sourced by the parallel and serial I/O pins, and those sourced  
by the DAC in order to determine the total current needed at the  
ADuC836’s DVDD and AVDD supply pins. Also, current drawn  
from the DVDD supply will increase by approximately 5 mA during  
Flash/EE erase and program cycles.

Power Saving Modes  
Wake-Up from Power-Down Latency  
Setting the Idle and Power-Down Mode Bits, PCON.0 and  
PCON.1, respectively, in the PCON SFR described inTable II  
allows the chip to be switched from Normal mode into Idle  
mode, and also into full Power-Down mode.  
Even with the 32 kHz crystal enabled during power-down, the PLL  
will take some time to lock after a wake-up from power-down.Typ-  
ically, the PLL will take about 1 ms to lock. During this time, code  
will execute, but not at the specified frequency. Some operations  
require an accurate clock, for example, UART communications,  
to achieve specified 50 Hz/60 Hz rejection from the ADCs.The  
following code may be used to wait for the PLL to lock:  
In Idle mode, the oscillator continues to run, but the core clock  
generated from the PLL is halted.The on-chip peripherals  
continue to receive the clock and remain functional.The CPU  
status is preserved with the stack pointer, program counter, and  
all other internal registers maintain their data during Idle mode.  
Port pins and DAC output pins also retain their states, and ALE  
and PSEN outputs go high in this mode.The chip will recover  
from Idle mode upon receiving any enabled interrupt, or upon  
receiving a hardware reset.  
WAITFORLOCK:  
MOV A, PLLCON  
JNB ACC.6, WAITFORLOCK  
If the crystal has been powered down during power-down, there  
is an additional delay associated with the startup of the crystal  
oscillator before the PLL can lock. 32 kHz crystals are inherently  
slow to oscillate, typically taking about 150 ms. Once again, during  
this time before lock, code will execute, but the exact frequency  
of the clock cannot be guaranteed. Again for any timing sensitive  
operations, it is recommended to wait for lock using the lock bit  
in PLLCON, as shown in the code above.  
In Power-Down mode, both the PLL and the clock to the core are  
stopped.The on-chip oscillator can be halted or can continue to  
oscillate, depending on the state of the oscillator power-down bit  
(OSC_PD) in the PLLCON SFR.TheTIC, being driven directly  
from the oscillator, can also be enabled during power-down. All  
other on-chip peripherals, however, are shut down. Port pins retain  
their logic levels in this mode, but the DAC output goes to a high  
impedance state (three-state) while ALE and PSEN outputs are  
held low. During full Power-Down mode with the oscillator and  
wake-up timer running, the ADuC836 typically consumes a total  
of 15 A.There are five ways of terminating Power-Down mode:  
Grounding and Board Layout Recommendations  
As with all high resolution data converters, special attention must  
be paid to grounding and PC board layout of ADuC836 based  
designs in order to achieve optimum performance from the ADCs  
and DAC.  
Although the ADuC836 has separate pins for analog and digital  
ground (AGND and DGND), the user must not tie these to two  
separate ground planes unless the two ground planes are con-  
nected together very close to the ADuC836, as illustrated in the  
simplified example of Figure 64a. In systems where digital and  
analog ground planes are connected together somewhere else  
(at the system’s power supply, for example), they cannot be con-  
nected again near the ADuC836 since a ground loop would result.  
In these cases, tie the ADuC836’s AGND and DGND pins all to  
the analog ground plane, as illustrated in Figure 64b. In systems  
with only one ground plane, ensure that the digital and analog com-  
ponents are physically separated onto separate halves of the board  
such that digital return currents do not flow near analog circuitry  
and vice versa.The ADuC836 can then be placed between the  
digital and analog sections, as illustrated in Figure 64c.  
Asserting the RESET Pin (Pin 15)  
Returns to Normal mode. All registers are set to their reset default  
value and program execution starts at the reset vector once the  
RESET pin is deasserted.  
Cycling Power  
All registers are set to their default state and program execution  
starts at the reset vector approximately 128 ms later.  
Time Interval Counter (TIC) Interrupt  
If the OSC_PD bit in the PLLCON SFR is clear, the 32 kHz  
oscillator will remain powered up even in Power-Down mode.  
If theTime Interval Counter (Wakeup/RTC timer) is enabled,  
aTIC interrupt will wake the ADuC836 up from Power-Down  
mode.The CPU services theTIC interrupt.The RETI at the end  
of theTIC ISR will return the core to the instruction after the  
one that enabled power-down.  
In all of these scenarios, and in more complicated real-life appli-  
cations, keep in mind the flow of current from the supplies and  
back to ground. Make sure the return paths for all currents are as  
close as possible to the paths the currents took to reach their des-  
tinations. For example, do not power components on the analog  
side of Figure 64b with DVDD since that would force return cur-  
rents from DVDD to flow through AGND. Also, try to avoid digital  
currents flowing under analog circuitry, which could happen if  
the user placed a noisy digital chip on the left half of the board  
in Figure 64c.Whenever possible, avoid large discontinuities in  
the ground plane(s) (such as those formed by a long trace on the  
same layer), since they force return signals to travel a longer path.  
And of course, make all connections directly to the ground plane  
with little or no trace separating the pin from its via to ground.  
SPI Interrupt  
If the SERIPD bit in the PCON SFR is set, then an SPI interrupt,  
if enabled, will wake up the ADuC836 from Power-Down mode.  
The CPU services the SPI interrupt.The RETI at the end of the  
ISR will return the core to the instruction after the one that enabled  
power-down.  
INT0 Interrupt  
If the INT0PD bit in the PCON SFR is set, an external interrupt 0,  
if enabled, will wake up the ADuC836 from power-down.The  
CPU services the SPI interrupt.The RETI at the end of the ISR  
will return the core to the instruction after the one that enabled  
power-down.

If the user plans to connect fast logic signals (rise/fall time < 5 ns)  
to any of the ADuC836’s digital inputs, add a series resistor to  
each relevant line to keep rise and fall times longer than 5 ns at the  
ADuC836 input pins. A value of 100 or 200 is usually suf-  
ficient to prevent high speed signals from coupling capacitively into  
the ADuC836 and affecting the accuracy of ADC conversions.

In some hardware designs, it may be an advantage for the software  
running on the ADuC836 target to identify the host MicroCon-  
verter. For example, code running on the ADuC836 may also  
be used with the ADuC824 or the ADuC816, and is required to  
operate differently.

Connections Other Hardware Considerations  
To facilitate in-circuit programming plus in-circuit debug and  
emulation options, users will want to implement some simple  
connection points in their hardware that will allow easy access to  
Download, Debug, and Emulation modes.

ADuC836  
OTHER HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS  
In-Circuit Serial Download Access  
that no external signals are capable of pulling the PSEN pin low,  
except for the external PSEN jumper itself.  
Nearly all ADuC836 designs will want to take advantage of the  
in-circuit reprogrammability of the chip. This is accomplished  
by a connection to the ADuC836’s UART, which requires an  
external RS-232 chip for level translation if downloading code  
from a PC. Basic configuration of an RS-232 connection is illus-  
trated in Figure 66 with a simple ADM3202 based circuit. If users  
would rather not include an RS-232 chip onto the target board,  
refer to the application note, uC006–A 4-Wire UART-to-PC Interface  
available at www.analog.com/microconverter, for a simple (and  
zero-cost-per-board) method of gaining in-circuit serial download  
access to the ADuC836.  
Embedded Serial Port Debugger  
From a hardware perspective, entry to Serial Port Debug mode is  
identical to the serial download entry sequence described above.  
In fact, both Serial Download and Serial Port Debug modes can  
be thought of as essentially one mode of operation used in two  
different ways.  
Note that the serial port debugger is fully contained on the  
ADuC836 device, (unlike ROM monitor type debuggers) and  
therefore no external memory is needed to enable in-system  
debug sessions.  
Single-Pin Emulation Mode  
In addition to the basic UART connections, users will also need  
a way to trigger the chip into Download mode. This is accom-  
plished via a 1 kpull-down resistor that can be jumpered onto  
the PSEN pin, as shown in Figure 66. To get the ADuC836 into  
Download mode, simply connect this jumper and power-cycle the  
device (or manually reset the device, if a manual reset button is  
available), and it will be ready to receive a new program serially.  
With the jumper removed, the device will power on in Normal  
mode (and run the program) whenever power is cycled or RESET  
is toggled.  
Also built into the ADuC836 is a dedicated controller for single-pin  
in-circuit emulation (ICE) using standard production ADuC836  
devices. In this mode, emulation access is gained by connection to  
a single pin, the EA pin. Normally, this pin is hard-wired either  
high or low to select execution from internal or external program  
memory space, as described earlier.To enable single-pin emu-  
lation mode, however, users will need to pull the EA pin high  
through a 1 kresistor, as shown in Figure 66.The emulator  
will then connect to the 2-pin header also shown in Figure 66.  
To be compatible with the standard connector that comes  
with the single-pin emulator available from Accutron Limited  
(www.accutron.com), use a 2-pin 0.1-inch pitch Friction Lock  
header from Molex (www.molex.com) such as their part number  
22-27-2021. Be sure to observe the polarity of this header. As  
represented in Figure 66, when the Friction Lock tab is at the  
right, the ground pin should be the lower of the two pins (when  
viewed from the top).  
Note that PSEN is normally an output (as described in the Exter-  
nal Memory Interface section) and that it is sampled as an input  
only on the falling edge of RESET (i.e., at power-up or upon an  
external manual reset). Note also that if any external circuitry  
unintentionally pulls PSEN low during power-up or reset events,  
it could cause the chip to enter Download mode and therefore fail  
to begin user code execution as it should.To prevent this, ensure

its resistance.This differential voltage is routed directly to the  
positive and negative inputs of the primary ADC (AIN1, AIN2,  
respectively).The same current that excited the RTD also flows  
through a series resistance RREF, generating a ratiometric voltage  
referenceVREF.The ratiometric voltage reference ensures that  
variations in the excitation current do not affect the measurement  
system as the input voltage from the RTD and reference voltage  
across RREF vary ratiometrically with the excitation current. Resis-  
tor RREF must, however, have a low temperature coefficient to  
avoid errors in the reference voltage over temperature. RREF must  
also be large enough to generate at least a 1V voltage reference.  
A typical ADuC836 configuration is shown in Figure 66. It sum-  
marizes some of the hardware considerations discussed in the  
previous paragraphs.  
Figure 66 also includes connections for a typical analog mea-  
surement application of the ADuC836, namely an interface to an  
RTD (ResistiveTemperature Device).The arrangement shown is  
commonly referred to as a 4-wire RTD configuration.  
Here, the on-chip excitation current sources are enabled to  
excite the sensor.The excitation current flows directly through  
the RTD, generating a voltage across the RTD proportional to

QUICKSTART DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM  
Download—In Circuit Downloader  
The QuickStart Development System is a full featured, low cost  
development tool suite supporting the ADuC836. The system  
consists of the following PC based (Windows® compatible) hard-  
ware and software development tools:  
The Serial Downloader is a software program that allows the user  
to serially download an assembled program (Intel Hex format file)  
to the on-chip program Flash memory via the serial COM1 port on  
a standard PC. Application Note uC004 details this serial download  
protocol and is available from www.analog.com/microconverter.  
Hardware:  
ADuC836 Evaluation Board  
and Serial Port Cable  
Debugger/Emulator—In-Circuit Debugger/Emulator  
The Debugger/Emulator is aWindows application that allows the  
user to debug code execution on silicon using the MicroConverter  
UART serial port or via a single pin to provide nonintrusive  
debug. The debugger provides access to all on-chip peripherals  
during a typical debug session, including single-step and multiple  
break-point code execution control. C source and assembly level  
debug are both possible with the emulator.

The Simulator is aWindows application that fully simulates the  
MicroConverter functionality including ADC and DAC periph-  
erals.The simulator provides an easy-to-use, intuitive, interface to  
the MicroConverter functionality and integrates many standard  
debug features including multiple breakpoints, single stepping,  
and code execution trace capability. This tool can be used both  
as a tutorial guide to the part as well as an efficient way to prove  
code functionality before moving to a hardware platform.

NOTES  
1AC inputs during testing are driven at DVDD – 0.5V for a Logic 1, and 0.45V for a Logic 0.Timing measurements are made atVIH min for a Logic 1, andVIL max for a  
Logic 0, as shown in Figure 70.  
2For timing purposes, a port pin is no longer floating when a 100 mV change from load voltage occurs. A port pin begins to float when a 100 mV change from the loaded  
VOH/VOL level occurs, as shown in Figure 70.  
3CLOAD for Port 0, ALE, PSEN outputs = 100 pF; CLOAD for all other outputs = 80 pF, unless otherwise noted.  
4ADuC836 internal PLL locks onto a multiple (384 times) the external crystal frequency of 32.768 kHz to provide a stable 12.583 MHz internal clock for the system.  
The core can operate at this frequency or at a binary submultiple called Core_Clk, selected via the PLLCON SFR.  
5This number is measured at the default Core_Clk operating frequency of 1.57 MHz.  
6ADuC836 Machine CycleTime is nominally defined as 12/Core_Clk.
