3. MARC4 Architecture  
3.1  
General Description  
The MARC4 microcontroller consists of an advanced stack-based, 4-bit CPU core and on-chip  
peripherals. The CPU is based on the HARVARD architecture with physically separate program  
memory (ROM) and data memory (RAM). Three independent buses, the instruction bus, the  
memory bus and the I/O bus, are used for parallel communication between ROM, RAM and  
peripherals. This enhances program execution speed by allowing both instruction prefetching,  
and a simultaneous communication to the on-chip peripheral circuitry. The extremely powerful  
integrated interrupt controller with associated eight prioritized interrupt levels supports fast and  
efficient processing of hardware events. The MARC4 is designed for the high-level programming  
language qFORTH. The core includes both an expression and a return stack. This architecture  
enables high-level language programming without any loss of efficiency or code density.

Components of MARC4 Core  
The core contains ROM, RAM, ALU, program counter, RAM address registers, instruction  
decoder and interrupt controller. The following sections describe each functional block in more  
detail.  
3.2.1  
ROM  
The program memory (ROM) is mask programmed with the customer application program dur-  
ing fabrication of the microcontroller. The 2 Kbyte ROM size is addressed by a 12-bit wide  
program counter. An additional 1 Kbyte of ROM exists which is reserved for quality control self-  
test software The lowest user ROM address segment is taken up by a 512-byte zero page which  
contains predefined start addresses for interrupt service routines and special subroutines acces-  
sible with single byte instructions (SCALL).  
The corresponding memory map is shown in Figure 3-2 Look-up tables of constants can also be  
held in ROM and are accessed via the MARC4’s built-in table instruction.

3.2.2  
RAM  
The ATAR090-C and ATAR890-C contain 256 x 4-bit wide static random access memory  
(RAM). It is used for the expression stack, the return stack and data memory for variables and  
arrays. The RAM is addressed by any of the four 8-bit wide RAM address registers SP, RP, X  
and Y.  
3.2.2.1  
Expression Stack  
The 4-bit wide expression stack is addressed with the expression stack pointer (SP). All arith-  
metic, I/O and memory reference operations take their operands from, and return their results to  
the expression stack. The MARC4 performs the operations with the top of stack items (TOS and  
TOS-1). The TOS register contains the top element of the expression stack and works in the  
same way as an accumulator. This stack is also used for passing parameters between subrou-  
tines and as a scratch pad area for temporary storage of data.

3.2.2.2  
Return Stack  
The 12-bit wide return stack is addressed by the return stack pointer (RP). It is used for storing  
return addresses of subroutines, interrupt routines and for keeping loop index counts. The return  
stack can also be used as a temporary storage area.  
The MARC4 instruction set supports the exchange of data between the top elements of the  
expression stack and the return stack. The two stacks within the RAM have a user definable  
location and maximum depth.

Registers  
The MARC4 controller has seven programmable registers and one condition code register. They  
are shown in the following programming model (Figure 3-4 on page 6).  
3.2.3.1  
Program Counter (PC)  
The program counter is a 12-bit register which contains the address of the next instruction to be  
fetched from the ROM. Instructions currently being executed are decoded in the instruction  
decoder to determine the internal micro-operations. For linear code (no calls or branches) the  
program counter is incremented with every instruction cycle. If a branch-, call-, return-instruction  
or an interrupt is executed, the program counter is loaded with a new address. The program  
counter is also used with the table instruction to fetch 8-bit wide ROM constants.

3.2.3.3  
RAM Address Registers  
The RAM is addressed with the four 8-bit wide RAM address registers: SP, RP, X and Y. These  
registers allow access to any of the 256 RAM nibbles.  
Expression Stack Pointer (SP)  
The stack pointer contains the address of the next-to-top 4-bit item (TOS-1) of the expression  
stack. The pointer is automatically pre-incremented if a nibble is moved onto the stack or  
post-decremented if a nibble is removed from the stack. Every post-decrement operation moves  
the item (TOS-1) to the TOS register before the SP is decremented. After a reset the stack  
pointer has to be initialized with >SP S0 to allocate the start address of the expression stack  
area.  
3.2.3.4  
Return Stack Pointer (RP)  
The return stack pointer points to the top element of the 12-bit wide return stack. The pointer  
automatically pre-increments if an element is moved onto the stack, or it post-decrements if an  
element is removed from the stack. The return stack pointer increments and decrements in  
steps of 4. This means that every time a 12-bit element is stacked, a 4-bit RAM location is left  
unwritten. This location is used by the qFORTH compiler to allocate 4-bit variables. After a reset  
the return stack pointer has to be initialized via >RP FCh.  
3.2.3.5  
RAM Address Registers (X and Y)  
The X and Y registers are used to address any 4-bit item in RAM. A fetch operation moves the  
addressed nibble onto the TOS. A store operation moves the TOS to the addressed RAM loca-  
tion. By using either the pre-increment or post-decrement addressing modes, arrays in the RAM  
can be compared, filled or moved

3.2.3.7  
Top of Stack (TOS)  
The top of stack register is the accumulator of the MARC4. All arithmetic/logic, memory refer-  
ence and I/O operations use this register. The TOS register receives data from the ALU, ROM,  
RAM or I/O bus.  
Condition Code Register (CCR)  
The 4-bit wide condition code register contains the branch, the carry and the interrupt enable  
flag. These bits indicate the current state of the CPU. The CCR flags are set or reset by ALU  
operations. The instructions SET_BCF, TOG_BF, CCR! and DI allow direct manipulation of the  
condition code register.  
3.2.3.8  
3.2.3.9  
3.2.3.10  
Carry/Borrow (C)  
The carry/borrow flag indicates that the borrowing or carrying out of the Arithmetic Logic Unit  
(ALU) occurred during the last arithmetic operation. During shift and rotate operations, this bit is  
used as a fifth bit. Boolean operations have no affect on the C-flag.  
Branch (B)  
The branch flag controls the conditional program branching. Should the branch flag have been  
set by a previous instruction, a conditional branch will cause a jump. This flag is affected by  
arithmetic, logic, shift, and rotate operations.  
Interrupt Enable (I)  
The interrupt enable flag globally enables or disables the triggering of all interrupt routines with  
the exception of the non-maskable reset. After a reset or while executing the DI instruction, the  
interrupt enable flag is reset, thus disabling all interrupts. The core will not accept any further  
interrupt requests until the interrupt enable flag has been set again by either executing an EI or  
SLEEP instruction.  
3.2.4  
ALU  
The 4-bit ALU performs all the arithmetic, logical, shift and rotate operations with the top two ele-  
ments of the expression stack (TOS and TOS-1) and returns the result to the TOS. The ALU  
operations affect the carry/borrow and branch flag in the condition code register (CCR).

3.2.5  
I/O Bus  
The I/O ports and the registers of the peripheral modules are I/O mapped. All communication  
between the core and the on-chip peripherals takes place via the I/O bus and the associated I/O  
control. With the MARC4 IN and OUT instructions the I/O bus allows a direct read or write  
access to one of the 16 primary I/O addresses. More about the I/O access to the on-chip periph-  
erals is described in the section “Peripheral Modules”. The I/O bus is internal and is not  
accessible by the customer on the final microcontroller device, but it is used as the interface for  
the MARC4 emulation (see section “Emulation”).  
3.2.6  
Instruction Set  
The MARC4 instruction set is optimized for the high level programming language qFORTH.  
Many MARC4 instructions are qFORTH words. This enables the compiler to generate a fast and  
compact program code. The CPU has an instruction pipeline allowing the controller to prefetch  
an instruction from ROM at the same time as the present instruction is being executed. The  
MARC4 is a zero-address machine, the instructions contain only the operation to be performed  
and no source or destination address fields. The operations are implicitly performed on the data  
placed on the stack. There are one and two byte instructions which are executed within 1 to 4  
machine cycles. A MARC4 machine cycle is made up of two system clock cycles (SYSCL). Most  
of the instructions are only one byte long and are executed in a single machine cycle. For more  
information refer to the “MARC4 Programmer’s Guide”.  
3.2.7  
Interrupt Structure  
The MARC4 can handle interrupts with eight different priority levels. They can be generated  
from the internal and external interrupt sources or by a software interrupt from the CPU itself.  
Each interrupt level has a hard-wired priority and an associated vector for the service routine in  
the ROM (see Table 2-1 on page 3). The programmer can postpone the processing of interrupts  
by resetting the interrupt enable flag (I) in the CCR. An interrupt occurrence will still be regis-  
tered, but the interrupt routine only starts after the I flag is set. All interrupts can be masked, and  
the priority individually software configured by programming the appropriate control register of  
the interrupting module (see section “Peripheral Modules”).  
3.2.7.1  
Interrupt Processing  
In order to be able to process the eight interrupt levels, the MARC4 contains an interrupt control-  
ler with two 8-bit wide interrupt pending and interrupt active registers. The interrupt controller  
samples all interrupt requests during every non-I/O instruction cycle and latches these in the  
interrupt pending register. If no higher priority interrupt is present in the interrupt active register,  
it signals the CPU to interrupt the current program execution. If the interrupt enable bit is set, the  
processor enters an interrupt acknowledge cycle. During this cycle a short call (SCALL) instruc-  
tion to the service routine is executed and the current PC is saved on the return stack.  
An interrupt service routine is completed with the RTI instruction. This instruction resets the cor-  
responding bits in the interrupt pending/active register and fetches the return address from the  
return stack to the program counter. When the interrupt enable flag is reset (triggering of inter-  
rupt routines are disabled), the execution of new interrupt service routines is inhibited but not the  
logging of the interrupt requests in the interrupt pending register. The execution of the interrupt  
is delayed until the interrupt enable flag is set again. Note that interrupts are only lost if an inter-  
rupt request occurs while the corresponding bit in the pending register is still set (i.e., the  
interrupt service routine is not yet finished).

3.2.7.2  
Interrupt Latency  
The interrupt latency is the time from the occurrence of the interrupt to the interrupt service rou-  
tine being activated. In MARC4 this is extremely short (taking between 3 to 5 machine cycles  
depending on the state of the core).

Software Interrupts  
The programmer can generate interrupts by using the software interrupt instruction (SWI) which  
is supported in qFORTH by predefined macros named SWI0...SWI7. The software triggered  
interrupt operates exactly like any hardware triggered interrupt. The SWI instruction takes the  
top two elements from the expression stack and writes the corresponding bits via the I/O bus to  
the interrupt pending register. Therefore, by using the SWI instruction, interrupts can be re-prior-  
itized or lower priority processes scheduled for later execution.  
3.2.7.4  
Hardware Interrupts  
In the ATAR090-C, there are eleven hardware interrupt sources with seven different levels.  
Each source can be masked individually by mask bits in the corresponding control registers. An  
overview of the possible hardware configurations is shown in Table 3-2.  
3.3  
Master Reset  
The master reset forces the CPU into a well-defined condition. It is unmaskable and is activated  
independent of the current program state. It can be triggered by either initial supply power-up, a  
short collapse of the power supply, the brown-out detection circuitry, a watchdog time-out, or an  
external input clock supervisor stage (see Figure 3-7 on page 11).  
A master reset activation will reset the interrupt enable flag, the interrupt pending register and  
the interrupt active register. During the power-on reset phase the I/O bus control signals are set  
to reset mode thereby initializing all on-chip peripherals. All bi-directional ports are set to input  
mode.  
Attention: During any reset phase, the BP20/NTE input is driven towards VDD by an additional  
internal strong pull-up transistor. This pin must not be pulled down to VSS during reset by any  
external circuitry representing a resistor of less than 150 k.  
Releasing the reset results in a short call instruction (opcode C1h) to the ROM address 008h.  
This activates the initialization routine $RESET which in turn has to initialize all necessary RAM  
variables, stack pointers and peripheral configuration registers.

Power-on Reset and Brown-out Detection  
The ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C have a fully integrated power-on reset and brown-out detection  
circuitry. For reset generation no external components are needed.  
These circuits ensure that the core is held in the reset state until the minimum operating supply  
voltage has been reached. A reset condition will also be generated should the supply voltage  
drop momentarily below the minimum operating level except when a power down mode is acti-  
vated (the core is in SLEEP mode and the peripheral clock is stopped). In this power-down  
mode the brown-out detection is disabled. Two values for the brown-out voltage threshold are  
programmable via the BOT bit in the SC register.  
A power-on reset pulse is generated by a VDD rise across the default BOT voltage level (1.7 V).  
A brown-out reset pulse is generated when VDD falls below the brown-out voltage threshold. Two  
values for the brown-out voltage threshold are programmable via the BOT bit in the SC register.  
When the controller runs in the upper supply voltage range with a high system clock frequency,  
the high threshold must be used. When it runs with a lower system clock frequency, the low  
threshold and a wider supply voltage range may be chosen. For further details, see the electrical  
specification and the SC register description for BOT programming.

Watchdog Reset  
The watchdog’s function can be enabled at the WDC-register and triggers a reset with every  
watchdog counter overflow. To suppress the watchdog reset, the watchdog counter must be  
regularly reset by reading the watchdog register address (CWD). The CPU reacts in exactly the  
same manner as a reset stimulus from any of the above sources.

The external input clock supervisor function can be enabled if the external input clock is selected  
within the CM- and SC registers of the clock module. The CPU reacts in exactly the same man-

3.4  
Voltage Monitor  
The voltage monitor consists of a comparator with internal voltage reference. It is used to super-  
vise the supply voltage or an external voltage at the VMI pin. The comparator for the supply  
voltage has three internal programmable thresholds: one lower threshold (2.2 V), one middle  
threshold (2.6 V). and one higher threshold (3.0 V). For external voltages at the VMI-pin, the  
comparator threshold is set to VBG = 1.3 V. The VMS-bit indicates if the supervised voltage is  
below (VMS = 0) or above (VMS = 1) this threshold. An interrupt can be generated when the  
VMS-bit is set or reset to detect a rising or falling slope. A voltage monitor interrupt (INT7) is  
enabled when the interrupt mask bit (VIM) is reset in the VMC-register.

Clock Generation  
3.5.1  
Clock Module  
The ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C contains a clock module with 4 different internal oscillator types:  
two RC-oscillators, one 4-MHz crystal oscillator and one 32-kHz crystal oscillator. The pins  
OSC1 and OSC2 are the interface to connect a crystal either to the 4-MHz, or to the 32-kHz  
crystal oscillator. OSC1 can be used as input for external clocks or to connect an external trim-  
ming resistor for the RC-oscillator 2. All necessary circuitry except the crystal and the trimming  
resistor is integrated on-chip. One of these oscillator types or an external input clock can be  
selected to generate the system clock (SYSCL).  
In applications that do not require exact timing, it is possible to use the fully integrated RC-oscil-  
lator 1 without any external components. The RC-oscillator 1 center frequency tolerance is  
better than ±50%. The RC-oscillator 2 is a trimmable oscillator whereby the oscillator frequency  
can be trimmed with an external resistor attached between OSC1 and VDD. In this configuration,  
the RC-oscillator 2 frequency can be maintained stable with a tolerance of ±15% over the full  
operating temperature and voltage range.

ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C  
4700C–4BMCU–02/05  
ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C  
The clock module is programmable via software with the clock management register (CM) and  
the system configuration register (SC). The required oscillator configuration can be selected with  
the OS1-bit and the OS0-bit in the SC register. A programmable 4-bit divider stage allows the  
adjustment of the system clock speed. A special feature of the clock management is that an  
external oscillator may be used and switched on and off via a port pin for the power-down mode.  
Before the external clock is switched off, the internal RC-oscillator 1 must be selected with the  
CCS-bit and then the SLEEP mode may be activated. In this state an interrupt can wake up the  
controller with the RC-oscillator, and the external oscillator can be activated and selected by  
software. A synchronization stage avoids clock periods that are too short if the clock source or  
the clock speed is changed. If an external input clock is selected, a supervisor circuit monitors  
the external input and generates a hardware reset if the external clock source fails or drops  
below 500 kHz for more than 1 ms.

The clock module generates two output clocks. One is the system clock (SYSCL) and the other  
the periphery (SUBCL). The SYSCL can supply the core and the peripherals and the SUBCL  
can supply only the peripherals with clocks. The modes for clock sources are programmable  
with the OS1 bit and OS0 bit in the SC register and the CCS bit in the CM register.

Oscillator Circuits and External Clock Input Stage  
The ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C series consists of four different internal oscillators: two RC-oscilla-  
tors, one 4-MHz crystal oscillator, one 32-kHz crystal oscillator and one external clock input  
stage.  
3.5.2.1  
RC-oscillator 1 Fully Integrated  
For timing insensitive applications, it is possible to use the fully integrated RC-oscillator 1. It  
operates without any external components and saves additional costs. The RC-oscillator 1 cen-  
ter frequency tolerance is better than ±50% over the full temperature and voltage range. The  
basic center frequency of the RC-oscillator 1 is f0 3.8 MHz. The RC-oscillator 1 is selected by  
default after power-on reset.

3.5.2.2  
External Input Clock  
The OSC1 or OSC2 (mask option) can be driven by an external clock source provided it meets  
the specified duty cycle, rise and fall times and input levels. Additionally the external clock stage  
contains a supervisory circuit for the input clock. The supervisor function is controlled via the  
OS1, OS0-bit in the SC register and the CCS-bit in the CM-register. If the external input clock is  
missing for more than 1 ms and CCS = 0 is set in the CM-register, the supervisory circuit gener-  
ates a hardware reset. The input clock has failed if the frequency is less than 500 kHz for more  
than 1 ms.

RC-oscillator 2 with External Trimming Resistor  
The RC-oscillator 2 is a high resolution trimmable oscillator whereby the oscillator frequency can  
be trimmed with an external resistor between OSC1 and VDD. In this configuration, the RC-oscil-  
lator 2 frequency can be maintained stable with a tolerance of ±10% over the full operating  
temperature and a voltage range of VDD from 2.5 V to 6.0 V.  
For example: An output frequency at the RC-oscillator 2 of 2 MHz can be obtained by connect-  
ing a resistor Rext = 360 k(see Figure 3-15).

4-MHz Oscillator  
The ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C 4-MHz oscillator options need a crystal or ceramic resonator con-  
nected to the OSC1 and OSC2 pins to establish oscillation. All the necessary oscillator circuitry  
is integrated, except the actual crystal, resonator, C1 and C2.

3.5.2.5  
32-kHz Oscillator  
Some applications require long-term time keeping or low resolution timing. In this case, an  
on-chip, low power 32-kHz crystal oscillator can be used to generate both the SUBCL and the  
SYSCL. In this mode, power consumption is greatly reduced. The 32-kHz crystal oscillator can  
not be stopped while the power-down mode is in operation.

Power-down Modes  
The sleep mode is a shut-down condition which is used to reduce the average system power  
consumption in applications where the microcontroller is not fully utilized. In this mode, the sys-  
tem clock is stopped. The sleep mode is entered via the SLEEP instruction. This instruction sets  
the interrupt enable bit (I) in the condition code register to enable all interrupts and stops the  
core. During the sleep mode the peripheral modules remain active and are able to generate  
interrupts. The microcontroller exits the sleep mode by carrying out any interrupt or a reset.  
The sleep mode can only be maintained while none of the interrupt pending or active register  
bits are set. The application of the $AUTOSLEEP routine ensures the correct function of the  
sleep mode. For standard applications use the $AUTOSLEEP routine to enter the power-down  
mode. Using the SLEEP instruction instead of the $AUTOSLEEP following an I/O instruction  
requires the insertion of 3 non I/O instruction cycles (for example NOP NOP NOP) between the  
IN or OUT command and the SLEEP command.  
The total power consumption is directly proportional to the active time of the microcontroller. For  
a rough estimate of the expected average system current consumption, the following formula  
should be used:  
Itotal (VDD,fsyscl) = ISleep + (IDD × tactive/ttotal  
DD depends on VDD and fsyscl  
)
I
The ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C has various power-down modes. During the sleep mode the clock  
for the MARC4 core is stopped. With the NSTOP-bit in the clock management register (CM) it is  
programmable if the clock for the on-chip peripherals is active or stopped during the sleep mode.  
If the clock for the core and the peripherals is stopped the selected oscillator is switched off. An  
exception is the 32-kHz oscillator, if it is selected it runs continuously independent of the  
NSTOP-bit. If the oscillator is stopped or the 32-kHz oscillator is selected, power consumption is  
extremely low.

4. Peripheral Modules  
4.1  
Addressing Peripherals  
Accessing the peripheral modules takes place via the I/O bus (see Figure 4-1). The IN or OUT  
instructions allow direct addressing of up to 16 I/O modules. A dual register addressing scheme  
has been adopted to enable direct addressing of the primary register. To address the auxiliary  
register, the access must be switched with an auxiliary switching module. Thus a single IN (or  
OUT) to the module address will read (or write into) the module’s primary register. Accessing the  
auxiliary register is performed with the same instruction preceded by writing the module address  
into the auxiliary switching module. Byte wide registers are accessed by multiple IN (or OUT)  
instructions. For more complex peripheral modules, with a larger number of registers, extended  
addressing is used. In this case a bank of up to 16 subport registers are indirectly addressed  
with the subport address. The first OUT instruction writes the subport address to the subaddress  
register, the second IN or OUT instruction reads data from or writes data to the addressed  
subport.

Bi-directional Ports  
Ports (2, 4, 5) are 4 bits wide. All ports may be used for data input or output. All ports are  
equipped with Schmitt trigger inputs and a variety of mask options for open drain, open source,  
full complementary outputs, pull up and pull down transistors. All Port Data Registers (PxDAT)  
are I/O mapped to the primary address register of the respective port address and the Port Con-  
trol Register (PxCR), to the corresponding auxiliary register.  
There are three different directional ports available:  
Port 2  
Port 5  
4-bit wide bitwise-programmable I/O port.  
4-bit wide bitwise-programmable bi-directional port with optional strong pull-ups  
and programmable interrupt logic.  
Port 4  
4-bit wide bitwise-programmable bi-directional port also provides the I/O interface  
to Timer 2, SSI, voltage monitor input and external interrupt input.  
4.2.1  
Bi-directional Port 2  
As all other bi-directional ports, this port includes a bitwise programmable Control Register  
(P2CR), which enables the individual programming of each port bit as input or output. It also  
opens up the possibility of reading the pin condition when in output mode. This is a useful fea-  
ture for self-testing and for serial bus applications.  
Port 2, however, has an increased drive capability and an additional low resistance pull-up/  
-down transistor mask option.  
Note:  
Care should be taken connecting external components to BP20/NTE. During any reset phase, the  
BP20/NTE input is driven towards VDD by an additional internal strong pull-up transistor. This pin  
must not be pulled down (active or passive) to VSS during reset by any external circuitry represent-  
ing a resistor of less than 150 k. This prevents the circuit from unintended switching to test mode  
enable through the application circuitry at pin BP20/NTE. Resistors less than 150 kmight lead to  
an undefined state of the internal test logic thus disabling the application firmware.  
To avoid any conflict with the optional internal pull-down transistors, BP20 handles the pull-down  
options in a different way than all other ports. BP20 is the only port that switches off the pull-down  
transistors during reset.

Bi-directional Port 5  
As all other bi-directional ports, this port includes a bitwise programmable Control Register  
(P5CR), which allows individual programming of each port bit as input or output. It also opens up  
the possibility of reading the pin condition when in output mode. This is a useful feature for self  
testing and for serial bus applications.  
The port pins can also be used as external interrupt inputs (see Figure 4-3 on page 25 and Fig-  
ure 4-4 on page 25). The interrupts (INT1 and INT6) can be masked or independently configured  
to trigger on either edge. The interrupt configuration and port direction is controlled by the Port 5  
Control Register (P5CR). An additional low resistance pull-up/-down transistor mask option pro-  
vides an internal bus pull-up for serial bus applications.  
The Port 5 Data Register (P5DAT) is I/O mapped to the primary address register of address ‘5’h  
and the Port 5 Control Register (P5CR) to the corresponding auxiliary register. The P5CR is a  
byte-wide register and is configured by writing first the low nibble and then the high nibble (see  
section “Addressing Peripherals”).

Bi-directional Port 4  
The bi-directional Port 4 is a bitwise configurable I/O port and provides the external pins for the  
Timer 2, SSI and the voltage monitor input (VMI). As a normal port, it performs in exactly the  
same way as bi-directional Port 2 (see Figure 4-6 on page 28). Two additional multiplexes allow  
data and port direction control to be passed over to other internal modules (Timer 2, VM or SSI).  
The I/O-pins for the SC and SD lines have an additional mode to generate an SSI-interrupt.  
All four Port 4 pins can be individually switched by the P4CR-register. Figure 4-6 on page 28  
shows the internal interfaces to bi-directional Port 4.

Universal Timer/Counter/Communication Module (UTCM)  
The Universal Timer/Counter/Communication Module (UTCM) consists of three timers  
(Timer 1,Timer 2) and a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI).  
• Timer 1 is an interval timer that can be used to generate periodical interrupts and as  
prescaler for Timer 2, the serial interface and the watchdog function.  
• Timer 2 is an 8/12-bit timer with an external clock input (T2I) and an output (T2O).  
• The SSI operates as a two-wire serial interface or as shift register for modulation and  
demodulation. The modulator units work together with the timers and shift the data bits into or  
out of the shift register.  
There is a multitude of modes in which the timers and the serial interface can work together.

4.3.1  
Timer 1  
Timer 1 is an interval timer which can be used to generate periodic interrupts and as a prescaler  
for Timer 2, the serial interface and the watchdog function.  
Timer 1 consists of a programmable 14-stage divider that is driven by either SUBCL or SYSCL.  
The timer output signal can be used as a prescaler clock or as SUBCL and as a source for the  
Timer 1 interrupt. Because of other system requirements Timer 1 output T1OUT is synchronized  
with SYSCL. Therefore, in the power-down mode SLEEP (CPU core -> sleep and OSC-Stop ->  
yes), the output T1OUT is stopped (T1OUT = 0). Nevertheless, Timer 1 can be active in SLEEP  
and generate Timer 1 interrupts. The interrupt is maskable via the T1IM bit and the SUBCL can  
be bypassed via the T1BP bit of the T1C2 register. The time interval for the timer output can be  
programmed via the Timer 1 control register T1C1.  
This timer starts running automatically after any power-on reset! If the watchdog function is not  
activated, the timer can be restarted by writing into the T1C1 register with T1RM = 1.  
Timer 1 can also be used as a watchdog timer to prevent a system from stalling. The watchdog  
timer is a 3-bit counter that is supplied by a separate output of Timer 1. It generates a system  
reset when the 3-bit counter overflows. To avoid this, the 3-bit counter must be reset before it  
overflows. The application software has to accomplish this by reading the CWD register.  
After power-on reset the watchdog must be activated by software in the $RESET initialization  
routine. There are two watchdog modes, in one mode the watchdog can be switched on and off  
by software, in the other mode the watchdog is active and locked. This mode can only be  
stopped by carrying out a system reset.  
The watchdog timer operation mode and the time interval for the watchdog reset can be pro-  
grammed via the watchdog control register (WDC).

The three bits T1C[2:0] select the divider for Timer 1. The resulting time interval depends on this  
divider and the Timer 1 input clock source. The timer input can be supplied by the system clock,  
the 32-kHz oscillator or via clock management. If the clock management generates the SUBCL,  
the selected input clock from the RC-oscillator, 4-MHz oscillator or an external clock is divided  
by 16.

Timer 2  
Timer 2 is an 8-/12-bit timer used for:  
• Interrupt, square-wave, pulse and duty cycle generation  
• Baud-rate generation for the internal shift register  
• Manchester and Bi-phase modulation together with the SSI  
• Carrier frequency generation and modulation together with the SSI  
Timer 2 can be used as interval timer for interrupt generation, as signal generator or as baud-  
rate generator and modulator for the serial interface. It consists of a 4-bit and an 8-bit up counter  
stage which both have compare registers. The 4-bit counter stages of Timer 2 are cascadable  
as 12-bit timer or as 8-bit timer with 4-bit prescaler. The timer can also be configured as 8-bit  
timer and separate 4-bit prescaler.  
The Timer 2 input can be supplied via the system clock, the external input clock (T2I), the Timer  
1 output clock, the shift clock of the serial interface. The external input clock T2I is not synchro-  
nized with SYSCL. Therefore, it is possible to use Timer 2 with a higher clock speed than  
SYSCL. Furthermore with that input clock Timer 2 operates in the power-down mode SLEEP  
(CPU core -> sleep and OSC-Stop -> yes) as well as in the POWER-DOWN (CPU core -> sleep  
and OSC-Stop -> no). All other clock sources supply no clock signal in SLEEP if NSTOP = 0.  
The 4-bit counter stages of Timer 2 have an additional clock output (POUT).  
Its output has a modulator stage that allows the generation of pulses as well as the generation  
and modulation of carrier frequencies. Timer 2 output can modulate with the shift register data  
output to generate Bi-phase- or Manchester code.  
If the serial interface is used to modulate a bit-stream, the 4-bit stage of Timer 2 has a special  
task. The shift register can only handle bit-stream lengths divisible by 8. For other lengths, the  
4-bit counter stage can be used to stop the modulator after the right bit-count is shifted out.  
If the timer is used for carrier frequency modulation, the 4-bit stage works together with an addi-  
tional 2-bit duty cycle generator like a 6-bit prescaler to generate carrier frequency and duty  
cycle. The 8-bit counter is used to enable and disable the modulator output for a programmable  
count of pulses.  
The timer has a 4-bit and an 8-bit compare register for programming the time interval. For pro-  
gramming the timer function, it has four mode and control registers. The comparator output of  
stage 2 is controlled by a special compare mode register (T2CM). This register contains mask  
bits for the actions (counter reset, output toggle, timer interrupt) which can be triggered by a  
compare match event or the counter overflow. This architecture enables the timer to function for  
various modes.  
The Timer 2 has a 4-bit compare register (T2CO1) and an 8-bit compare register (T2CO2). Both  
these compare registers are cascadable as a 12-bit compare register, or 8-bit compare register  
and 4-bit compare register.

Timer 2 Modes  
Mode 1: 12-bit Compare Counter  
The 4-bit stage and the 8-bit stage work together as a 12-bit compare counter. A compare match  
signal of the 4-bit and the 8-bit stage generates the signal for the counter reset, toggle flip-flop or  
interrupt. The compare action is programmable via the compare mode register (T2CM). The 4-  
bit counter overflow (OVF1) supplies the clock output (POUT) with clocks. The duty cycle gener-  
ator (DCG) has to be bypassed in this mode.

Mode 2: 8-bit Compare Counter with 4-bit Programmable Prescaler  
The 4-bit stage is used as a programmable prescaler for the 8-bit counter stage. In this mode, a  
duty cycle stage is also available. This stage can be used as an additional 2-bit prescaler or for  
generating duty cycles of 25%, 33% and 50%. The 4-bit compare output (CM1) supplies the  
clock output (POUT) with clocks.

Mode 3/4: 8-bit Compare Counter and 4-bit Programmable Prescaler  
In these modes the 4-bit and the 8-bit counter stages work independently as a 4-bit prescaler  
and an 8-bit timer with a 2-bit prescaler or as a duty cycle generator. Only in mode 3 and mode  
4 can the 8-bit counter be supplied via the external clock input (T2I) which is selected via the  
P4CR register. The 4-bit prescaler is started by activating mode 3 and stopped and reset in  
mode 4. Changing mode 3 and 4 has no effect for the 8-bit timer stage. The 4-bit stage can be  
used as a prescaler for the SSI or to generate the stop signal for modulator 2.

Timer 2 Output Modes  
The signal at the timer output is generated via Modulator 2. In the toggle mode, the compare  
match event toggles the output T2O. For high resolution duty cycle modulation 8 bits or 12 bits  
can be used to toggle the output. In the duty cycle burst modulator modes the DCG output is  
connected to T2O and switched on and off either by the toggle flipflop output or the serial data  
line of the SSI. Modulator 2 also has 2 modes to output the content of the serial interface as Bi-  
phase or Manchester code.  
The modulator output stage can be configured by the output control bits in the T2M2 register.  
The modulator is started with the start of the shift register (SIR = 0) and stopped either by carry-  
ing out a shift register stop (SIR = 1) or compare match event of stage 1 (CM1) of Timer 2. For  
this task, Timer 2 mode 3 must be used and the prescaler has to be supplied with the internal  
shift clock (SCL).

PWM Mode: Pulse-width modulation output on Timer 2 output pin (T2O).  
In this mode the timer overflow defines the period and the compare register defines the duty  
cycle. During one period only the first compare match occurrence is used to toggle the timer out-  
put flip-flop, until overflow occurs all further compare match are ignored. This avoids the  
situation that changing the compare register causes the occurrence of several compare match  
during one period. The resolution at the pulse-width modulation Timer 2 mode 1 is 12-bit and all  
other Timer 2 modes are 8-bit.

Timer 2 Registers  
Timer 2 has 6 control registers to configure the timer mode, the time interval, the input clock and  
its output function. All registers are indirectly addressed using extended addressing as  
described in section “Addressing Peripherals”. The alternate functions of the Ports BP41 or  
BP42 must be selected with the Port 4 control register P4CR, if one of the Timer 2 modes  
require an input at T2I/BP41 or an output at T2O/BP42.

Timer 2 Compare and Compare Mode Registers  
Timer 2 has two separate compare registers, T2CO1 for the 4-bit stage and T2CO2 for the 8-bit  
stage of Timer 2. The timer compares the contents of the compare register current counter  
value, and if it matches, it generates an output signal. Depending on the timer mode, this signal  
is used to generate a timer interrupt, to toggle the output flip-flop as SSI clock or as a clock for  
the next counter stage.  
In the 12-bit timer mode, T2CO1 contains bits 0 to 3 and T2CO2 bits 4 to 11 of the 12-bit com-  
pare value. In all other modes, the two compare registers work independently as a 4- and 8-bit  
compare register. When assigned to the compare register a compare event will be suppressed.

Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)  
4.3.3.1  
SSI Features  
• 2- and 3-wire NRZ  
• 2-wire mode, additional internal 2-wire link for multi-chip packaging solutions  
• With Timer 2:  
– Bi-phase modulation  
– Manchester modulation  
– Pulse-width demodulation  
– Burst modulation  
4.3.3.2  
SSI Peripheral Configuration  
The synchronous serial interface (SSI) can be used either for serial communication with external  
devices such as EEPROMs, shift registers, display drivers, other microcontrollers, or as a  
means for generating and capturing on-chip serial streams of data. External data communication  
takes place via Port 4 (BP4),a multi-functional port which can be software configured by writing  
the appropriate control word into the P4CR register. The SSI can be configured in any of the fol-  
lowing ways:  
1. 2-wire external interface for bi-directional data communication with one data terminal  
and one shift clock. The SSI uses Port BP43 as a bi-directional serial data line (SD) and  
BP40 as a shift clock line (SC).  
2. 3-wire external interface for simultaneous input and output of serial data, with a serial  
input data terminal (SI), a serial output data terminal (SO) and a shift clock (SC). The  
SSI uses BP40 as a shift clock (SC), while the serial data input (SI) is applied to BP43  
(configured in P4CR as input). Serial output data (SO) in this case is passed through to  
BP42 (configured in P4CR to T2O) via Timer 2 output stage (T2M2 configured in  
mode 6).  
3. Timer/SSI combined modes – the SSI used together with Timer 2 is capable of per-  
forming a variety of data modulation and demodulation functions (see section “Timer”).  
The modulating data is converted by the SSI into a continuous serial stream of data  
which is in turn modulated in one of the timer functional blocks.  
4. Multi-chip link (MCL) – the SSI can also be used as an interchip data interface for use  
in single package multi-chip modules or hybrids. For such applications, the SSI is pro-  
vided with two dedicated pads (MCL_SD and MCL_SC) which act as a two-wire chip-  
to-chip link. The MCL can be activated by the MCL control bit. Should these MCL pads  
be used by the SSI, the standard SD and SC pins are not required and the correspond-  
ing Port 4 ports are available as conventional data ports.

General SSI Operation  
The SSI is comprised essentially of an 8-bit shift register with two associated 8-bit buffers - the  
receive buffer (SRB) for capturing the incoming serial data and a transmit buffer (STB) for inter-  
mediate storage of data to be serially output. Both buffers are directly accessible by software.  
Transferring the parallel buffer data into and out of the shift register is controlled automatically by  
the SSI control, so that both single byte transfers or continuous bit-streams can be supported.  
The SSI can generate the shift clock (SC) from one of several on-chip clock sources or it can  
accept an external clock. The external shift clock is output on, or applied to the Port BP40.  
Selection of an external clock source is performed by the Serial Clock Direction control bit  
(SCD). In the combinational modes, the required clock is selected by the corresponding timer  
mode.  
The SSI can operate in three data transfer modes — synchronous 8-bit shift mode, a 9-bit Multi-  
Chip Link mode (MCL), containing 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge, and a corresponding 8-bit  
MCL mode without acknowledge. In both MCL modes the data transmission begins after a valid  
start condition and ends with a valid stop condition.  
External SSI clocking is not supported in these modes. The SSI should thus generate and have  
full control over the shift clock so that it can always be regarded as an MCL Bus Master device.  
All directional control of the external data port used by the SSI is handled automatically and is  
dependent on the transmission direction set by the Serial Data Direction (SDD) control bit. This  
control bit defines whether the SSI is currently operating in transmit (TX) mode or receive (RX)  
mode.  
Serial data is organized in 8-bit telegrams which are shifted with the most significant bit first. In  
the 9-bit MCL mode, an additional acknowledge bit is appended to the end of the telegram for  
handshaking purposes (see “MCL Protocol”).

4700C–4BMCU–02/05  
At the beginning of every telegram, the SSI control loads the transmit buffer into the shift register  
and proceeds immediately to shift data serially out. At the same time, incoming data is shifted  
into the shift register input. This incoming data is automatically loaded into the receive buffer  
when the complete telegram has been received. Thus, data can be simultaneously received and  
transmitted if required.  
Before data can be transferred, the SSI must first be activated. This is performed by means of  
the SSI reset control (SIR) bit. All further operation then depends on the data directional mode  
(TX/RX) and the present status of the SSI buffer registers shown by the Serial Interface Ready  
Status Flag (SRDY). This SRDY flag indicates the (empty/full) status of either the transmit buffer  
(in TX mode), or the receive buffer (in RX mode). The control logic ensures that data shifting is  
temporarily halted at any time, if the appropriate receive/transmit buffer is not ready (SRDY = 0).  
The SRDY status will then automatically be set back to ‘1’ and data shifting resumed as soon as  
the application software loads the new data into the transmit register (in TX mode) or frees the  
shift register by reading it into the receive buffer (in RX mode).  
A further activity status (ACT) bit indicates the present status of serial communication. The ACT  
bit remains high for the duration of the serial telegram or if MCL stop or start conditions are cur-  
rently being generated. Both the current SRDY and ACT status can be read in the SSI status  
register. To deactivate the SSI, the SIR bit must be set high.

In the 8-bit synchronous mode, the SSI can operate as either a 2- or 3-wire interface (see “SSI  
Peripheral Configuration”). The serial data (SD) is received or transmitted in NRZ format, syn-  
chronized to either the rising or falling edge of the shift clock (SC). The choice of clock edge is  
defined by the Serial Mode Control bits (SM0,SM1). It should be noted that the transmission  
edge refers to the SC clock edge with which the SD changes. To avoid clock skew problems, the  
incoming serial input data is shifted in with the opposite edge.  
When used together with one of the timer modulator or demodulator stages, the SSI must be set  
in the 8-bit synchronous mode 1.

4700C–4BMCU–02/05  
ATAR090-C/ATAR890-C  
In RX mode, as soon as the SSI is activated (SIR = 0), 8 shift clocks are generated and the  
incoming serial data is shifted into the shift register. This first telegram is automatically trans-  
ferred into the receive buffer and the SRDY flag is set to 0 indicating that the receive buffer  
contains valid data. At the same time an interrupt (if enabled) is generated. The SSI then contin-  
ues shifting in the following 8-bit telegram. If, during this time the first telegram has been read by  
the controller, the second telegram will also be transferred in the same way into the receive  
buffer and the SSI will continue clocking in the next telegram. Should, however, the first tele-  
gram not have been read (SRDY = 1), then the SSI will stop, temporarily holding the second  
telegram in the shift register until a certain point time when the controller is able to service the  
receive buffer. In this way no data is lost or overwritten.  
Deactivating the SSI (SIR = 1) in mid-telegram will immediately stop the shift clock and latch the  
present contents of the shift register into the receive buffer. This can be used for clocking in a  
data telegram of less than 8 bits in length. Care should be taken to read out the final complete 8-  
bit data telegram of a multiple word message before deactivating the SSI (SIR = 1) and terminat-  
ing the reception. After termination, the shift register contents will overwrite the receive buffer.

9-bit Shift Mode  
In the 9-bit shift mode, the SSI is able to handle the MCL protocol (described below). It always  
operates as an MCL master device, i.e., SC is always generated and output by the SSI. Both the  
MCL start and stop conditions are automatically generated whenever the SSI is activated or  
deactivated by the SIR-bit. In accordance with the MCL protocol, the output data is always  
changed in the clock low phase and shifted in on the high phase.  
Before activating the SSI (SIR = 0) and commencing an MCL dialog, the appropriate data direc-  
tion for the first word must be set using the SDD control bit. The state of this bit controls the  
direction of the data port (BP43 or MCL_SD). Once started, the 8 data bits are, depending on  
the selected direction, either clocked into or out of the shift register. During the 9th clock period,  
the port direction is automatically switched over so that the corresponding acknowledge bit can  
be shifted out or read in. In transmit mode, the acknowledge bit received from the device is cap-  
tured in the SSI Status Register (TACK) where it can be read by the controller. In receive mode,  
the state of the acknowledge bit to be returned to the device is predetermined by the SSI Status  
Register (RACK).  
Changing the directional mode (TX/RX) should not be performed during the transfer of an MCL  
telegram. One should wait until the end of the telegram which can be detected using the SSI  
interrupt (IFN = 1) or by interrogating the ACT status.  
Once started, a 9-bit telegram will always run to completion and will not be prematurely termi-  
nated by the SIR bit. So, if the SIR-bit is set to ‘1’ in mid telegram, the SSI will complete the  
current transfer and terminate the dialog with an MCL stop condition.

8-bit Pseudo MCL Mode  
In this mode, the SSI exhibits all the typical MCL operational features except for the acknowl-  
edge-bit which is never expected or transmitted.  
MCL Bus Protocol  
The MCL protocol constitutes a simple 2-wire bi-directional communication highway via which  
devices can communicate control and data information. Although the MCL protocol can support  
multi-master bus configurations, the SSI in MCL mode is intended for use purely as a master  
controller on a single master bus system. So all reference to multiple bus control and bus con-  
tention will be omitted at this point.  
All data is packaged into 8-bit telegrams plus a trailing handshaking or acknowledge-bit. Nor-  
mally the communication channel is opened with a so-called start condition, which initializes all  
devices connected to the bus. This is then followed by a data telegram, transmitted by the mas-  
ter controller device. This telegram usually contains an 8-bit address code to activate a single  
slave device connected onto the MCL bus. Each slave receives this address and compares it  
with its own unique address. The addressed slave device, if ready to receive data, will respond  
by pulling the SD line low during the 9th clock pulse. This represents a so-called MCL acknowl-  
edge. The controller detecting this affirmative acknowledge then opens a connection to the  
required slave. Data can then be passed back and forth by the master controller, each 8-bit tele-  
gram being acknowledged by the respective recipient. The communication is finally closed by  
the master device and the slave device put back into standby by applying a stop condition onto  
the bus.

Acknowledge  
All address and data words are serially transmitted to and from  
the device in eight-bit words. The receiving device returns a zero  
on the data line during the ninth clock cycle to acknowledge word  
receipt.

SSI Interrupt  
The SSI interrupt INT3 can be generated either by an SSI buffer register status (i.e., transmit  
buffer empty or receive buffer full), the end of a SSI data telegram or on the falling edge of the  
SC/SD pins on Port 4 (see P4CR). SSI interrupt selection is performed by the Interrupt FunctioN  
control bit (IFN). The SSI interrupt is usually used to synchronize the software control of the SSI  
and inform the controller of the present SSI status. Port 4 interrupts can be used together with  
the SSI or, if the SSI itself is not required, as additional external interrupt sources. In either case  
this interrupt is capable of waking the controller out of sleep mode.  
To enable and select the SSI relevant interrupts use the SSI interrupt mask (SIM) and the Inter-  
rupt Function (IFN) while Port 4 interrupts are enabled by setting appropriate control bits in  
P4CR register.  
4.3.3.9  
Modulation  
If the shift register is used together with Timer 2 for modulation, the 8-bit synchronous mode  
must be used. In this case, the unused Port 4 pins can be used as conventional bi-directional  
ports.  
The modulation and demodulation stages, if enabled, operate as soon as the SSI is activated  
(SIR = 0) and cease when deactivated (SIR = 1).  
Due to the byte-orientated data control, the SSI (when running normally) generates serial bit  
streams which are submultiples of 8 bits. However, an SSI output masking (OMSK) function per-  
mits the generation of bit streams of any length. The OMSK signal is derived indirectly from the  
4-bit prescaler of the Timer 2 and masks out a programmable number of unrequired trailing data  
bits during the shifting out of the final data word in the bit stream. The number of non-masked  
data bits is defined by the value pre-programmed in the prescaler compare register. To use out-  
put masking, the modulator stop mode bit (MSM) must be set to ‘0’ before programming the final  
data word into the SSI transmit buffer. This in turn, enables shift clocks to the prescaler when  
this final word is shifted out. On reaching the compare value, the prescaler triggers the OMSK  
signal and all following data bits are blanked.  
4.3.3.10  
Internal 2-wire Multi-chip Link  
Two additional on-chip pads (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) for the SC and the SD line can be used as  
chip-to-chip link for multi-chip applications. These pads can be activated by setting the MCL-bit  
in the SISC register.

The 8-bit wide serial interface operates as shift register for modulation and demodulation. The  
modulator and demodulator units work together with the timers and shift the data bits into or out  
of the shift register.

5. ATAR890-C  
The ATAR890-C is a multichip device which offers a combination of a MARC4-based microcon-  
troller and a serial E2PROM data memory in a single package.  
The ATAR090-C is used as a microcontroller and the U505M is used as a serial E2PROM. Two  
internal lines can be used as chip-to-chip link in a single package. The maximum internal data  
communication frequency between the ATAR090-C and the U505M over the chip link (MCL_SC  
and MCL_SD) is fSC_MCL = 500 kHz.  
The microcontroller and the EEPROM portions of this multi-chip device are equivalent to their  
respective individual component chips, except for the electrical specification.  
5.1  
Internal 2-wire Multi-chip Link  
Two additional on-chip pads (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) for the SC and the SD line can be used as  
chip-to-chip link for multi-chip applications. These pads can be activated by setting the MCL-bit  
in the SISC register.

U505M EEPROM  
The U505M is a 512-bit EEPROM internally organized as 32 x 16 bits. The programming voltage  
as well as the write-cycle timing is generated on-chip. The U505M features a serial interface  
allowing operation on a simple two-wire bus with an MCL protocol. Its low power consumption  
makes it well suited for battery applications.

5.2.1  
Serial Interface  
The U505M has a two-wire serial interface to the microcontroller for read and write accesses to  
the EEPROM. The U505M is considered to be a slave in all these applications. That means, the  
controller has to be the master that initiates the data transfer and provides the clock for transmit  
and receive operations.  
The serial interface is controlled by the ATAR890-C microcontroller which generates the serial  
clock and controls the access via the SCL-line and SDA-line. SCL is used to clock the data into  
and out of the device. SDA is a bi-directional line that is used to transfer data into and out of the  
device. The following serial protocol is used for the data transfers.  
59  
4700C–4BMCU–02/05  
5.2.1.1  
Serial Protocol  
• Data states on the SDA-line change only while SCL is low.  
• Changes on the SDA-line while SCL is high are interpreted as START or STOP condition.  
• A START condition is defined as a high to low transition on the SDA-line while the SCL-line is  
high.  
• A STOP condition is defined as a low to high transition on the SDA-line while the SCL-line is  
high.  
• Each data transfer must be initialized with a START condition and terminated with a STOP  
condition. The START condition wakes the device from standby mode and the STOP  
condition returns the device to standby mode.  
• A receiving device generates an acknowledge (A) after the reception of each byte. This  
requires an additional clock pulse, generated by the master. If the reception was successful  
the receiving master or slave device pulls down the SDA-line during that clock cycle. If an  
acknowledge is not detected (N) by the interface in transmit mode, it will terminate further  
data transmissions and go into receive mode. A master device must finish its read operation  
by a non-acknowledge and then send a stop condition to bring the device into a known state.

• Before the START condition and after the STOP condition the device is in standby mode and

• The control byte that follows the START condition determines the following operation. It  
consists of the 5-bit row address, 2 mode control bits and the READ/ NWRITE bit that is used  
to control the direction of the following transfer. A ‘0’ defines a write access and a ‘1’ a read  
access.

EEPROM  
The EEPROM has a size of 512 bits and is organized as 32 x 16-bit matrix. To read and write  
data to and from the EEPROM the serial interface must be used. The interface supports one and  
two byte write accesses and one to n-byte read accesses to the EEPROM.

5.2.2.1  
EEPROM – Operating Modes  
The operating modes of the EEPROM are defined via the control byte. The control byte contains  
the row address, the mode control bits and the read/not-write bit that is used to control the direc-  
tion of the following transfer. A ‘0’ defines a write access and a ‘1’ a read access. The five  
address bits select one of the 32 rows of the EEPROM memory to be accessed. For all  
accesses the complete 16-bit word of the selected row is loaded into a buffer. The buffer must  
be read or overwritten via the serial interface. The two mode control bits C1 and C2 define in  
which order the accesses to the buffer are performed: High byte – low byte or low byte – high  
byte. The EEPROM also supports auto-increment and auto-decrement read operations. After  
sending the start address with the corresponding mode, consecutive memory cells can be read  
row by row without transmission of the row addresses.  
Two special control bytes enable the complete initialization of EEPROM with ‘0’ or with ‘1’.  
5.2.2.2  
5.2.2.3  
Write Operations  
The EEPROM permits 8-bit and 16-bit write operations. A write access starts with the START  
condition followed by a write control byte and one or two data bytes from the master. It is com-  
pleted via the STOP condition from the master after the acknowledge cycle.  
The programming cycle consists of an erase cycle (write ‘zeros’) and the write cycle (write  
‘ones’). Both cycles together take about 10 ms.  
Acknowledge Polling  
If the EEPROM is busy with an internal write cycle, all inputs are disabled and the EEPROM will  
not acknowledge until the write cycle is finished. This can be used to detect the end of the write  
cycle. The master must perform acknowledge polling by sending a start condition followed by  
the control byte. If the device is still busy with the write cycle, it will not return an acknowledge  
and the master has to generate a stop condition or perform further acknowledge polling  
sequences. If the cycle is complete, it returns an acknowledge and the master can proceed with  
the next read or write cycle.

5.2.2.8  
Read Operations  
The EEPROM allows byte, word and current address read operations. The read operations are  
initiated in the same way as write operations. Every read access is initiated by sending the  
START condition followed by the control byte which contains the address and the read mode.  
When the device has received a read command, it returns an acknowledge, loads the addressed  
word into the read/write buffer and sends the selected data byte to the master. The master has  
to acknowledge the received byte if it wants to proceed with the read operation. If two bytes are  
read out from the buffer the device increments respectively decrements the word address auto-  
matically and loads the buffer with the next word. The read mode bits determines if the low or  
high byte is read first from the buffer and if the word address is incremented or decremented for  
the next read access. If the memory address limit is reached, the data word address will ‘roll  
over’ and the sequential read will continue. The master can terminate the read operation after  
every byte by not responding with an acknowledge (N) and by issuing a stop condition.

The EEPROM with the serial interface has its own reset circuitry. In systems with microcontrol-  
lers that have their own reset circuitry for power-on reset, watchdog reset or brown-out reset, it  
may be necessary to bring the U505M into a known state independent of its internal reset. This  
is performed by writing to the serial interface.

If the U505M acknowledges this sequence it is in a defined state. Maybe it is necessary to per-  
form this sequence twice.

6. Absolute Maximum Ratings  
Voltages are given relative to VSS.  
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating  
only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of this  
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.  
All inputs and outputs are protected against high electrostatic voltages or electric fields. However, precautions to minimize the build-up of  
electrostatic charges during handling are recommended. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused inputs are connected to an  
appropriate logic voltage level (e.g., VDD).

12. Emulation  
The basic function of emulation is to test and evaluate the customer's program and hardware in  
real time. This therefore enables the analysis of any timing, hardware or software problem. For  
emulation purposes, all MARC4 controllers include a special emulation mode. In this mode, the  
internal CPU core is inactive and the I/O buses are available via Port 0 and Port 1 to allow an  
external access to the on-chip peripherals. The MARC4 emulator uses this mode to control the  
peripherals of any MARC4 controller (target chip) and emulates the lost ports for the application.  
The MARC4 emulator can stop and restart a program at specified points during execution, mak-  
ing it possible for the applications engineer to view the memory contents and those of various  
registers during program execution. The designer also gains the ability to analyze the executed  
instruction sequences and all the I/O activities.
