CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5
16-Bit Reprogrammable/ROM Microcontroller
1.0 General Description
The
CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5
taining the advantages of a traditional Complex Instruction
Set Computer (CISC): compact code, on-chip memory and
I/O, and reduced cost. The CPU uses a three-stage in-
struction pipeline that allows execution of up to one instruc-
tion per clock cycle, or up to 24 million instructions per
second (MIPS) at a clock rate of 24 MHz.
CompactRISC™ microcontroller are general-purpose 16-
bit microcontrollers based on a Reduced Instruction Set
Computer (RISC) architecture. The device operates as a
complete microcomputer with all system timing, interrupt
logic, flash program memory or ROM memory, RAM, EE-
PROM data memory, and I/O ports included on-chip. It is
ideally suited to a wide range of embedded controller appli-
cations because of its high performance, on-chip integrat-
ed features and low power consumption resulting in
decreased system cost.
The CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5 de-
vices contain a FullCAN class, CAN serial interface for low/
high speed applications with 15 orthogonal message buff-
ers, each supporting standard as well as extended mes-
sage identifiers.

3.0 Device Overview
The CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5 Com-
pactRISC microcontrollers are complete microcomputers
with all system timing, interrupt logic, program memory, data
memory, and I/O ports included on-chip, making it well-suited
to a wide range of embedded controller applications. The
block diagram on page 1 of the data sheet shows the major
on-chip components of the CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/
CRHCT9/CR16HCT5.
The 4K bytes of static RAM are used for temporary storage
of data and for the program stack and interrupt stack. Read
and write operations can be byte-wide or word-wide, depend-
ing on the instruction executed by the CPU. Each memory
access requires one clock cycle; no wait cycles or hold cycles
are required.
There are two types of flash EEPROM data memory storage.
The 2K bytes of EEPROM data memory with low endurance
(25K cycles) and 128 bytes of flash EEPROM data memory
with high endurance (100K cycles) are used for non-volatile
storage of data, such as configuration settings entered by the
end-user.
3.1
CR16B CPU CORE
The CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5 use
the CR16B CPU core module. This is the same core used in
other CompactRISC family member designs, like DECT or
GSM chipsets.
The 96K bytes of flash EEPROM program memory are used
to store the application program. It has security features to
prevent unintentional programming and to prevent unautho-
rized access to the program code. This memory can be pro-
grammed with a device external programming unit or with the
device installed in the application system (in-system pro-
gramming).
The high performance of the CPU core results from the im-
plementation of a pipelined architecture with a two-bytes-per-
cycle pipelined system bus. As a result, the CPU can support
a peak execution rate of one instruction per clock cycle.
Compared with conventional RISC processors, the
CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5 differ in
the following ways:
There is a factory programmed boot memory used to store
In-System-Programming (ISP) code. (This code allows pro-
gramming of the program memory via one of the USART in-
terfaces in the final application.)
— The CPU core can use on-chip rather than external
memory. This eliminates the need for large and com-
plex bus interface units.
— Most instructions are 16 bits, so all basic instructions
are just two bytes long. Additional bytes are sometimes
required for immediate values, so instructions can be
two or four bytes long.
For flash EEPROM program and data memory, the device in-
ternally generates the necessary voltages for programming.
No additional power supply is required.
3.3
INPUT/OUTPUT PORTS
— Non-aligned word access is allowed. Each instruction
can operate on 8-bit or 16-bit data.
The device has 56 software-configurable I/O pins, organized
into seven 8-pin ports called Port B, Port C, Port F, Port G,
Port H, Port I, and Port L. Each pin can be configured to op-
erate as a general-purpose input or general-purpose output.
In addition, many I/O pins can be configured to operate as a
designated input or output for an on-chip peripheral module
such as the USART, timer, A/D converter, or MICROWIRE/
SPI interface.
— The device is designed to operate with a clock rate in
the 10 to 24 MHz range rather than 100 MHz or more.
Most embedded systems face EMI and noise con-
straints that limit clock speed to these lower ranges. A
lower clock speed means a simpler, less costly silicon
implementation.
— The instruction pipeline uses three stages. A smaller
pipeline eliminates the need for costly branch predic-
tion mechanisms and bypass registers, while maintain-
ing adequate performance for typical embedded
controller applications.
The I/O pin characteristics are fully programmable. Each pin
can be configured to operate as a TRI-STATE output, push-
pull output, weak pull-up input, or high-impedance input.
3.4
BUS INTERFACE UNIT
For more information, please refer to the CR16B Program-
mer’s Reference Manual, Literature #: 633150.
The Bus Interface Unit (BIU) controls the interface between
the on-chip modules to the internal core bus. It determines
the configured parameters for bus access (such as the num-
ber of wait states for memory access) and issues the appro-
priate bus signals for each requested access.
3.2
MEMORY
The CompactRISC architecture supports a uniform linear ad-
dress space of 2 megabytes. The device implementation of
this architecture uses only the lowest 128K bytes of address
space. Four types of on-chip memory occupy specific inter-
vals within this address space:
The BIU uses a set of control registers to determine how
many wait states and hold states are to be used when ac-
cessing flash EEPROM program memory, ISP memory and
the I/O area (Port B and Port C). Upon start-up the configu-
ration registers are set for slowest possible memory access.
To achieve fastest possible program execution, appropriate
values should be programmed. These settings vary with the
clock frequency and the type of on-chip device being access-
ed.

INTERRUPTS
3.9
MULTI-FUNCTION TIMER
The Interrupt Control Unit (ICU31L) receives interrupt re-
quests from internal and external sources and generates in-
terrupts to the CPU. An interrupt is an event that temporarily
stops the normal flow of program execution and causes a
separate interrupt service routine to be executed. After the in-
terrupt is serviced, CPU execution continues with the next in-
struction in the program following the point of interruption.
The Multi-Function Timer (MFT16) module contains two in-
dependent timer/counter units called MFT1 and MFT2, each
containing a pair of 16-bit timer/counter registers. Each timer/
counter unit can be configured to operate in any of the follow-
ing modes:
— Processor-Independent Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) mode, which generates pulses of a specified
width and duty cycle, and which also provides a gener-
al-purpose timer/counter.
— Dual Input Capture mode, which measures the
elapsed time between occurrences of external events,
and which also provides a general-purpose timer/
counter.
Interrupts from the timers, USARTs, MICROWIRE/SPI inter-
face, multi-input wake-up, and A/D converter are all maskable
interrupts; they can be enabled or disabled by the software.
There are 32 of these maskable interrupts, organized into 32
predetermined levels of priority.
The highest-priority interrupt is the Non-Maskable Interrupt
(NMI), which is generated by a signal received on the NMI in-
put pin.
— Dual Independent Timer mode, which generates sys-
tem timing signals or counts occurrences of external
events.
3.6
MULTI-INPUT WAKE-UP
— Single Input Capture and Single Timer mode, which
provides one external event counter and one system
timer.
The Multi-Input Wake-Up (MIWU16) module can be used for
either of two purposes: to provide inputs for waking up (exit-
ing) from the HALT, IDLE, or Power Save mode; or to provide
general-purpose edge-triggered maskable interrupts from
external sources. This 16-channel module generates four
programmable interrupts to the CPU based on the signals re-
ceived on its 16 input channels. Channels can be individually
enabled or disabled, and programmed to respond to positive
or negative edges.
3.10
VERSATILE TIMER UNIT
The Versatile Timer Unit (VTU) module contains four inde-
pendent timer subsystems, each operating in either dual 8-bit
PWM configuration, as a single 16-bit PWM timer, or a 16-bit
counter with two input capture channels. Each of the four tim-
er subsystems offer an 8-bit clock prescaler to accommodate
a wide range of frequencies.
3.7
DUAL CLOCK AND RESET
3.11
REAL-TIME TIMER AND WATCHDOG
The Dual Clock and Reset (CLK2RES) module generates a
high-speed main system clock from an external crystal net-
work. It also provides the main system reset signal and a
power-on reset function.
The Timing and Watchdog Module (TWM) generates the
clocks and interrupts used for timing periodic functions in the
system. It also provides Watchdog protection against soft-
ware errors. The module operates on the slow system clock.
This module also generates a slow system clock (32.768
kHz) from another external crystal network. The slow clock is
used for operating the device in power-save mode. Without a
32.768kHz external crystal network, the low speed system
clock can be derived from the high speed clock by a prescal-
er.
The real-time timer can generate a periodic interrupt to the
CPU at a software-programmed interval. This can be used for
real-time functions such as a time-of-day clock. The real-time
timer can trigger a wake-up condition from power-save mode
via the Multi-Input Wake-Up module.
The Watchdog is designed to detect program execution er-
rors such as an infinite loop or a “runaway” program. Once
Watchdog operation is initiated, the application program must
periodically write a specific value to a Watchdog register,
within specific time intervals. If the software fails to do so, a
Watchdog error is triggered, which resets the device.
Also, two independent clocks divided down from the high
speed clock are available on output pins.
3.8
POWER MANAGEMENT
The Power Management Module (PMM) improves the effi-
ciency of the device by changing the operating mode and
therefore the power consumption according to the required
level of activity.
3.12
USART
The USART supports a wide range of programmable baud
rates and data formats, and handles parity generation and
several error detection schemes. The baud rate is generated
on-chip, under software control.
The device can operate in any of four power modes:
— Active: The device operates at full speed using the
high-frequency clock. All device functions are fully op-
erational.
— Power Save: The device operates at reduced speed
using the slow clock. The CPU and some modules can
continue to operate at this low speed.
There are two independent USARTs in the device and they
offer a wake-up condition from the power-save mode via the
Multi-Input Wake-Up module.
3.13
MICROWIRE/SPI
— IDLE: The device is inactive except for the Power Man-
agement Module and Timing and Watchdog Module,
which continue to operate using the slow clock.
— HALT: The device is inactive but still retains its internal
state (RAM and register contents).
The MICROWIRE/SPI (MWSPI) interface module supports
synchronous serial communications with other devices that
conform to MICROWIRE or Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
specifications. It supports 8-bit and 16-bit data transfers.
www.national.com
6
The MICROWIRE interface allows several devices to com-
municate over a single system consisting of four wires: serial
in, serial out, shift clock, and slave enable. At any given time,
the MICROWIRE interface operates as the master or a slave.
The support supports the full set of slave select for multi-
slave implementation.
3.17
ANALOG COMPARATORS
The Dual Analog Comparator (ACMP2) module contains two
independent analog comparators with all necessary control
logic. Each comparator unit compares the analog input volt-
ages applied to two input pins and determines which voltage
is higher. The CPU uses a memory-mapped register to con-
trol the comparator and to obtain the comparison results. The
comparison result can also be applied to comparator output
pins.
In master mode, the shift clock is generated on chip under
software control. In slave mode, a wake-up out of power-save
mode is triggered via the Multi-Input Wake-Up module.
3.14
CR16CAN
3.18
DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT
The CR16CAN device contains a FullCAN class, CAN serial
bus interface for applications that require a high speed (up to
1MBits per second) or a low speed interface with CAN bus
master capability. The data transfer between CAN and the
CPU is established by 15 memory mapped message buffers,
which can be individually configured as receive or transmit
buffers. An incoming message is filtered by two masks, one
for the first 14 message buffers and another one for the 15th
message buffer to provide a basic CAN path. A priority de-
coder allows any buffer to have the highest or lowest transmit
priority. Remote transmission requests can be processed au-
tomatically by automatic reconfiguration to a receiver after
transmission or by automated transmit scheduling upon re-
ception. In addition, a time stamp counter (16-bits wide) is
provided to support real time applications.
A powerful cross-development tool set is available from Na-
tional Semiconductor and third parties to support the devel-
opment and debugging of application software for the
CR16MCT9/CR16MCT5/CR16HCT9/CR16HCT5. The tool
set lets you program the application software in C and is de-
signed to take full advantage of the CompactRISC architec-
ture.
There are In-System Emulation (ISE) devices available for
the device from iSYSTEM™, as well as lower-cost evaluation
boards. See your National Semiconductor sales representa-
tive for current information on availability and features of em-
ulation equipment and evaluation boards.
The CR16CAN device is a fast core bus peripheral, which al-
lows single cycle byte or word read/write access. A set of di-
agnostic features (such as loopback, listen only, and error
identification) support the development with the CR16CAN
module and provide a sophisticated error management tool.
The CR16CAN receiver can trigger a wake-up condition out
of the power-save modes via the Multi-Input Wake-Up mod-
ule.
3.15
ACCESS.BUS INTERFACE
The ACCESS.bus interface module (ACB) is a two-wire serial
interface with the ACCESS.bus physical layer. It is also com-
patible with Intel’s System Management Bus (SMBus) and
2
Philips’ I C bus. The ACB module can be configured as a bus
master or slave, and can maintain bi-directional communica-
tions with both multiple master and slave devices.
The ACCESS.bus receiver can trigger a wake-up condition
out of the power-save modes via the Multi-Input Wake-Up
module.
3.16
A/D CONVERTER
The A/D Converter (ADC) module is a 12-channel multi-
plexed-input analog-to-digital converter. The A/D Converter
receives an analog voltage signal on an input pin and con-
verts the analog signal into an 8-bit digital value using suc-
cessive approximation. The CPU can then read the result
from a memory-mapped register. The module supports four
automated operating modes, providing single-channel or 4-
channel operation in single or continuous mode.
The device has a separate pin, Vref, for the A/D reference
voltage.

5.0 System Configuration
The device has two input pins, ENV0 and ENV1, which are
used to specify the operating environment of the device upon
reset. There are also two system configuration registers,
called the Module Configuration (MCFG) register and the
Module Status (MSTAT) register.
The MCFG register format is shown below.

cleared (0), the CLK pin (ENV1) remains in the
high-impedance state. When this bit is set (1) in
normal operating mode, the CLK pin operates
as a CPU clock output.
5.1
ENV0 AND ENV1 PINS
Upon reset, the operating mode of the device is determined
by the state of the ENV0 and ENV1 input pins, as indicated
in Table 6.
CLK1OE

Generated Clock Output 1 Enable. When
cleared (0), the CLKOUT1 pin (ENV0) stays in
high impedance state. When set (1), the pin

Generated Clock Output 2 Enable. When this
bit is set (1) and CLKOE is cleared, the
CLKOUT2 pin (ENV1) outputs the clock from
the prescaler controlled by PRSSC1.SCDIV2.
Otherwise, the CLKOUT2 pin is in high imped-
ance state.

MODULE STATUS (MSTAT) REGISTER
In the case where the ENV1 and ENV0 pins are both high,
the reset algorithm looks at the FLCTRL2.EMPTY bit to de-
termine whether the program memory is empty, and sets the
operating mode accordingly.
The MSTAT register is a byte-wide, read-only register that in-
dicates the general status of the device.
The MCFG register format is shown below.

The ENV0 and ENV1 pins have on-chip pull-up devices that
are enabled during reset while the pins are being sampled.
Therefore, if they are left unconnected, the inputs are consid-
ered high and the normal operating mode (IRE-Mode) is se-
lected and the CPU starts to execute code at address 0. To
enter any other operating mode, the external hardware must
drive the appropriate input low.
Reserved PGMBUSY Reserved OENV1 OENV0
OENV(1:0) Operating Environment. These two bits contain
the values applied to the ENV1 and ENV0 pins
upon reset. These bit values are controlled by
the external hardware upon reset and are held
constant in the register until the next reset.
PGMBUSY Flash EEPROM Programming Busy. This bit is
automatically set to 1 when either the program
memory or the data memory is busy being pro-
grammed or erased. It is cleared to 0 when nei-
ther of the two flash EEPROM memories is
busy being programmed or erased. When this
bit is set, the software should not attempt any
write access to either of these two memories.
In the case where the ISP-Mode is selected, the chip starts
executing the ISP code residing in the on-chip ISP-Memory
area.
The test modes are Reserved for factory testing and for ex-
ternal programming of the flash EEPROM program memory.
They should not be invoked otherwise.
5.2
MODULE CONFIGURATION (MCFG)
REGISTER
The MCFG register is a byte-wide, read/write register that
sets the clock output features of the device.
Upon reset, the non-reserved bits of this register are cleared
to zero. The start-up software must write a specific value to
this register in order to configure the CLK output pin function.
When the software writes to this register, it must write a zero
to each reserved bit for the device to operate properly. The
register should be written in active mode only, not in power
save, HALT, or IDLE mode. However, the register contents
are preserved during all power modes.

The electrical characteristics and drive capabilities of the in-
put and output buffers are described in Section 25.0.
Each pin can be configured to operate as a general-purpose
input or general-purpose output. In addition, many I/O pins
can be configured to operate as a designated input or output
for an on-chip peripheral module such as the USART or the
Multi-Input Wakeup. This is called the pin's “alternate func-
tion.” The alternate functions of all I/O pins are shown in the
pinout diagrams in Table 1.
For some pins, a direct low-impedance path is provided be-
tween the pin and an internal analog function. These are the
input pins to the A/D converter and the analog comparators.
6.1
PORT REGISTERS
Each port has an associated set of memory-mapped regis-
ters used for controlling the port and for holding the port data.
In general, there are five such registers:
The I/O pin characteristics are fully programmable. Each pin
can be configured to operate as a TRI-STATE output, push-
pull output, weak pull-up input, or high-impedance input. Dif-
ferent pins within the same port can be individually config-
ured to operate in different modes.
— PxALT: Port alternate function register
— PxDIR: Port direction register
— PxDIN: Port data input register
— PxDOUT: Port data output register
— PxWKPU: Port weak pull-up register
Figure 1 is a diagram showing the functional features of an I/
O port pin. The register bits, multiplexers, and buffers allow
the port pin to be configured into the various operating
modes.The output buffer is a TRI-STATE buffer with weak
pull-up capability. The weak pull-up, if used, prevents the port
pin from going to an undefined state when it operates as an
input.
In the descriptions of the ports and port registers, the lower-
case letter “x” represents the port designation, either B, C, F,
G, H, I, or L. For example, “PxDIR register” means any one
of the port direction registers: PBDIR, PCDIR, PFDIR, and so
on.
All of the port registers are byte-wide read/write registers, ex-
cept for the port data input registers, which are read-only reg-
isters. Each register bit controls the function of the
corresponding port pin. For example, PFDIR.2 (bit 2 of the
PFDIR register) controls the operation of port pin PF2.
The input buffer is disabled when it is not needed to prevent
leakage current caused by an input signal’s level between
V -0.2 and V +0.2 [Volts]. When enabled, it buffers the in-
cc
ss
put signal and sends the pin's logic level to the appropriate

6.1.1
Port Alternate Function Register
6.2
OPEN-DRAIN OPERATION
Each port that supports an alternate function (any port other
than Port B or Port C) has an alternate function register (Px-
ALT). This register determines whether the port pins are used
for general-purpose I/O or for the predetermined alternate
function. Each port pin can be controlled independently.
A port pin can be configured to operate as an inverting open-
drain output buffer. To do this, the CPU should clear the bit in
the data output register (PxDOUT) and then use the port di-
rection register (PxDIR) to set the value of the port pin. With
the direction register bit set to 1 (direction=out), the value
zero is forced on the pin. With the direction register bit
cleared to 0 (direction=in), the pin is placed in the TRI-STATE
mode. If desired, the internal weak pull-up can be enabled to
pull the signal high when the output buffer is in the TRI-
STATE mode.
A bit cleared to 0 in the alternate function register causes the
corresponding pin to be used for general-purpose I/O. In this
configuration, the output buffer is controlled by the direction
register and the data output register. The input buffer is rout-
ed to the data input register. The input buffer is blocked ex-
cept when the buffer is actually being read.
A bit set to 1 in the alternate function register causes the cor-
responding pin to be used for its predetermined peripheral I/
O function. The output buffer data and TRI-STATE configura-
tion are controlled by signals coming from the on-chip periph-
eral device. The input buffer is enabled continuously in this
case. To minimize power consumption, the input signal
should be held within 0.2 volts of the VCC or GND voltage.
A reset operation clears the port alternate function registers
to 0, which programs the pins to operate as general-purpose
I/O ports. This register must be enabled before the corre-
sponding alternate function is enabled.
6.1.2
Port Direction Register
The port direction register (PxDIR) determines whether each
port pin is used for input or for output. A bit cleared to 0 caus-
es the pin to operate as an input, which puts the output buffer
in the high-impedance state. A bit set to 1 causes the pin to
operate as an output, which enables the output buffer.
A reset operation clears the port direction registers to 0,
which programs the pins to operate as inputs.
6.1.3
Port Data Input Register
The data input register (PxDIN) is a read-only register that re-
turns the current state of each port pin. The CPU can read
this register at any time even when the pin is configured as
an output.
6.1.4
Port Data Output Register
The data output register (PxDOUT) holds the data to be driv-
en onto each port pin configured to operate as a general-pur-
pose output. In this configuration, writing to the register
changes the output value. Reading the register returns the
last value written to the register.
A reset operation leaves the register contents unchanged.
Upon power-up, the registers contain unknown values.
6.1.5
Port Weak Pull-Up Register
The weak pull-up register (PxWKPU) determines whether
each port pin uses a weak pull-up on the output buffer. A bit
set to 1 causes the weak pull-up to be used, while a bit
cleared to 0 causes the causes the weak pull-up not to be
used.
The pull-up device, if enabled by the register bit, operates in
the general-purpose I/O mode whenever the port output buff-
er is in the TRI-STATE mode. In the alternate function mode,
the pull-ups are always disabled.
A reset operation clears the port weak pull-up registers to 0,
which disables all pull-ups.

7.0 CPU and Core Registers
7.2.3
Interrupt Base Register
The device uses the same CR16B CPU core as other Com-
pactRISC family members. The core's Reduced Instruction
Set Computer (RISC) architecture allows a processing rate of
up to one instruction per clock cycle.
The INTBASE register holds the address of the Dispatch Ta-
ble for interrupts and traps. The least significant bit of the reg-
ister is always zero. Thus, the Dispatch Table starts at an
even address in the range of 0000 to FFFE.
The CPU core uses a set of internal registers:
— General-purpose registers (R0-R13, RA, and SP)
— Dedicated address registers (PC, ISP, and INTBASE)
— Processor Status Register (PSR)
7.3
PROCESSOR STATUS REGISTER
The Processor Status Register (PSR) holds status informa-
tion and selects the operating modes for the CPU core. The
format of the register is shown below.
— Configuration Register (CFG)
All of these registers are 16 bits wide except for the three ad-
dress registers, which are 21 bits wide.

Some register bits are designated as “reserved.” The CPU
must write a zero to each of these bit locations when it writes
to the register. Read operations from reserved bit locations
return undefined values.
C bit
The Carry (C) bit indicates whether a carry or
borrow occurred after addition or subtraction. It
is set to 1 if a carry or borrow occurred, or
cleared to 0 otherwise.
The Trace (T) bit, when set, causes a Trace
(TRC) trap to be executed after every instruc-
tion. This bit is automatically cleared to 0 when
a trap or interrupt occurs.
The Low (L) bit is set by comparison opera-
tions. In a comparison of unsigned integers, the
bit is set to 1 if the second operand (Rdest) is
less than the first operand (Rsrc). Otherwise, it
is cleared to 0.
The Flag (F) bit is a general condition flag that
is set by various instructions. It may be used to
signal exception conditions or to distinguish the
results of an instruction. For example, integer
arithmetic instructions use this bit to indicate an
overflow condition after an addition or subtrac-
tion operation.
The Zero (Z) bit is set by comparison opera-
tions. In a comparison of integers, the bit is set
to 1 if the two operands are equal. Otherwise, it
is cleared to 0.
The Negative (N) bit is set by comparison oper-
ations. In a comparison of signed integers, the
bit is set to 1 if the second operand (Rdest) is
less than the first operand (Rsrc). Otherwise, it
is cleared to 0.
The Local Maskable Interrupt Enable (E) bit is
used to enable or disable maskable interrupts.
If this bit and the Global Maskable Interrupt En-
able (I) bit are both set to 1, all maskable inter-
rupts are accepted. Otherwise, only the non-
maskable interrupt is accepted. The E bit is set
to 1 by the Enable Interrupts (EI) instruction
and cleared to 0 by the Disable Interrupts (DI)
instruction.
The Trace Trap Pending (P) bit is used together
with the Trace (T) bit to prevent a Trace (TRC)
trap from occurring more than once for any in-
struction. The P bit may be cleared to 0 (no
TRC trap pending) or set to 1 (TRC trap pend-
ing).
7.1
GENERAL-PURPOSE REGISTERS
T bit
L bit
There are 16 general-purpose registers, designated R0
through R13, RA, and SP. Registers R0 through R13 can be
used for any purpose such as holding variables, addresses,
or index values. The RA register is usually used to store the
return address upon entry into a subroutine. The SP register
is usually used as the pointer to the program run-time stack.
If a general-purpose register is used for a byte-wide opera-
tion, only the low-order byte is referenced or modified. The
high-order byte is not used or affected by a byte-wide opera-
tion.
F bit
7.2
DEDICATED ADDRESS REGISTERS
There are three dedicated address registers: the Program
Counter (PC), the Interrupt Stack Pointer (ISP), and the Inter-
rupt Base Register (INTBASE). Each of these registers is 21
bits wide.
Z bit
N bit
7.2.1
Program Counter
The PC register contains the address of the least significant
word currently being fetched. It is automatically incremented
or changed by the appropriate amount each time an instruc-
tion is executed.
The least significant bit of the PC is always zero, thus instruc-
tions must always be aligned to an even address in the range
of 0000 to 1FFFE hex.
E bit
Upon reset, the PC register is initialized to zero and program
execution starts at that address (if in IRE-Mode). When a re-
set signal is received, bits 1 through 16 of the PC register
(prior to initialization) are stored in register R0. This allows
the software to determine the point in the program at which
the reset occurred.
7.2.2
Interrupt Stack Pointer
P bit
The ISP register points to the lowest address of the last item
stored on the interrupt stack. This stack is used by the hard-
ware when an interrupt or trap service procedure is invoked.
15
www.national.com
I bit
The Global Maskable Interrupt Enable (I) bit is
used to enable or disable maskable interrupts.
If this bit and the Local Maskable Interrupt En-
able (E) bit are both set to 1, all maskable inter-
rupts are accepted. Otherwise, only the non-
maskable interrupt is accepted. This bit is auto-
matically cleared to 0 when an interrupt occurs
and automatically set to 1 upon completion of
an interrupt service routine.
Absolute Mode
The operand is located in memory. Its ad-
dress is specified within the instruction.
For example:
LOADB 4000, R6
For additional information on the instruction set and instruc-
tion encoding, see the CompactRISC CR16B Programmer's
Reference manual.
7.6
STACKS
Upon reset, all non-reserved bits of the register are cleared
to 0 except for the E bit (bit 9), which is set to 1. When a de-
vice reset occurs, the PSR contents prior to the reset are
stored into register R1, allowing the initialization software to
determine the state of the device prior to the reset operation.
A stack is a one-dimensional data buffer in which values are
entered and removed one at a time. The last valued entered
is the first one removed. A register called the stack pointer
contains the current address of the last item entered on the
stack. In the device, when an item is entered or “pushed” onto
the stack, the stack expands downward in memory (the stack
pointer is decremented). When an item is removed or
“popped” from the stack, the stack shrinks upward in memory
(the stack pointer is incremented).
7.4
CONFIGURATION REGISTER
The Configuration (CFG) register is a 16-bit core register that
determines the size of the INTBASE register. For the device,
the CFG register should always be left in its default state
(cleared to zero), resulting in a 16-bit INTBASE register.
The device uses two type of stacks: the program stack and
the interrupt stack.
7.5
ADDRESSING MODES
The program stack is used by the software to save and re-
store register values upon entry into and exit from a subrou-
tine. The software can also use the program stack to store
local and temporary variables. The stack pointer for this stack
is the SP register.
Each instruction operates on one or more operands. An op-
erand can be a register or a memory location.
Most instructions use one, two, or three device registers as
operands. The instruction opcode specifies the registers to
be operated on. Some instructions may use an immediate
value (a value provided in the instruction itself) instead of a
register.
The interrupt stack is used to save and restore the program
state when an exception occurs (an interrupt or software
trap). The on-chip hardware automatically pushes the pro-
gram state information onto the stack before the exception
service procedure is executed. Upon exit from the exception
service procedure, the hardware pops this information from
the stack and restores the program state. The stack pointer
for this stack is the ISP register.
Memory locations are accessed only by the Load and Store
commands. The memory location to use for a particular in-
struction can be specified as an absolute, relative, or far-rel-
ative address.
The instruction set supports the following addressing modes:
7.7
INSTRUCTION SET
Register Mode
The operand is a general-purpose regis-
ter: R0 through R13, RA, or SP. For exam-
ple:
Table 7 is a summary list of all instructions in the device in-
struction set. For each instruction, the table shows the mne-
monic and a brief description of the operation performed.
ADDB R1, R2
Immediate
Mode
A constant operand value is specified with-
in the instruction. In a branch instruction,
the immediate operand is a displacement
from the program counter (PC). In the as-
sembly language syntax, a dollar sign indi-
cates an immediate value. For example:
In the Mnemonic column, the lower-case letter “i” is used to
indicate the type of integer that the instruction operates on,
either “B” for byte or “W” for word. For example, the notation
ADDi for the “add” instruction means that there are two forms
of this instruction, ADDB and ADDW, which operate on bytes
and words, respectively.
MULW $4, R4
Similarly, the lower-case string “cond” is used to indicate the
type of condition tested by the instruction. For example, the
notation Jcond represents a class of conditional jump instruc-
tions: JEQ for Jump on Equal, JNE for Jump on Not Equal,
and so on.
Relative Mode
The operand is located in memory. Its ad-
dress is obtained by adding the contents of
a general purpose register to the constant
value encoded into the displacement field
of the instruction. For example:
LOADW 12(R5), R6
Far-Relative
Mode
The operand is located in memory. Its ad-
dress is obtained by concatenating a pair
of adjacent general-purpose registers to
form a 21-bit value, and adding this value
to the constant value encoded into the dis-
placement field of the instruction.

8.0 Bus Interface Unit
The Bus Interface Unit (BIU) controls the interface between
the internal core bus and those on-chip modules which are
mapped into BIU zones. These on-chip modules are the flash
EEPROM program memory, the ISP-memory and the I/O-
zone. It determines the configured parameters for bus access
(such as the number of wait states for memory access) and
issues the appropriate bus signals for the requested access.
8.2
BIU CONTROL REGISTERS
The BIU has a set of control registers that determine how
many wait cycles and hold cycles are to be used for access-
ing memory. Upon start-up of the device, these registers
should be programmed with appropriate values so that the
minimum allowable number of cycles is used. This number
varies with the clock frequency used.
Note:
The device is manufactured in a 224-pin version which
There are four applicable BIU registers: the BIU Configura-
tion (BCFG) register, the I/O Configuration (IOCFG) register,
the Static Zone 0 Configuration (SZCFG0) register and the
Static Zone 1Configuration (SZCFG1) register. These regis-
ters control the bus cycle configuration used for accessing
the various on-chip memory types.
is used in emulation equipment. In the 224-pin device, the
BIU controls access to both on-chip and off-chip memory and
peripherals. Operation of the 224-pin device and the use of
chip-external memory is beyond the scope of this data sheet.
8.1
BUS CYCLES
Note:
A system configuration register called the Module
There are four types of data transfer bus cycles:
Configuration (MCFG) register controls the number of wait
cycles used for accessing the EEPROM data memory. This
register is described in Section 5.1.
— Normal read
— Fast read
— Early write
— Late write
8.2.1
BIU Configuration (BCFG) Register
The type of data cycle used in a particular transaction de-
pends on the type of CPU operation (a write or a read), the
type of memory or I/O being accessed, and the access type
programmed into the BIU control registers (early/late write or
normal/fast read).
The BIU Configuration (BCFG) Register is a byte-wide, read/
write register that selects either early write or late write bus
cycles. The register address is F900 hex. Upon reset, the
register is initialized to 07 hex. The register format is shown
below.
For read operations, a basic normal read takes two clock cy-
cles, whereas a fast read bus cycle takes one clock cycle.
Upon reset of the device, normal read bus cycles are enabled
by default.

Early Write. This bit is cleared to 0 for late write
operation (two clock cycles to write) or set to 1
for early write operation.
For write operations, a basic late write bus cycle takes two
clock cycles, whereas a basic early write bus cycle takes
three clock cycles. Upon reset of the device, early write bus
cycles are enabled by default. However, late write bus cycles
are needed for ordinary write operations, so this configura-
tion should be changed by the application software (see
Section 8.2.1).
Note 1:
These bits (bit 1 or bit 2) control the configuration of
the 224-pin device used in emulation equipment. The CPU
should set this bit to 1 when it writes to the register.
Upon reset, the BCFG register is initialized to 07 hex, which
selects early write operation. However, late write operation is
required for normal device operation, so the software should
change the register value to 06 hex.
In certain cases, one or more additional clock cycles are add-
ed to a bus access cycle. There are two types of additional
clock cycles for ordinary memory accesses, called internal

hold
The I/O Zone Configuration (IOCFG) register is a word-wide,
read/write register that sets the timing and bus characteris-
tics of I/O Zone memory accesses. In the device implemen-
tation, the registers associated to Port B and Port C reside in
the I/O memory array. (These ports are used as a 16-bit data
port, if the device operates in development mode.)
A wait cycle is inserted in a bus cycle just after the memory
address has been placed on the address bus. This gives the
accessed memory more time to respond to the transaction
request. A hold cycle is inserted at the end of a bus cycle.
This holds the data on the data bus for an extended number
of clock cycles.

RAM Memory
Read and write accesses to on-chip RAM is performed within
a single cycle, regardless of the BIU settings.
FRE
Fast Read Enable
This bit enables (1) or disables (0) fast read bus
cycles. A fast read operation takes one clock
cycle. A normal read operation takes at least
two clock cycles.
8.3.3
EEPROM Data Memory
There is either no wait state or one wait state used when the
CPU accesses the EEPROM data memory (address F000-
F27F hex). The number of required wait states (zero or one)
depends on the CPU clock frequency and operating mode,
and is controlled by programming of the DMCSR.ZEROWS
bit in the MCFG register, as explained in Section 9.3. No hold
cycles are used.
IPST
Post Idle.
An idle cycle follows the current bus cycle,
when the next bus cycle accesses a different
zone.
If cleared to 0, no idle cycle is inserted.
If set to 1, one idle cycle is inserted.
The IPST bit can be cleared to 0, as no idle cy-
cles are required for on-chip accesses.
Preliminary Idle.
An idle cycle is inserted prior to the current bus
cycle, when the new bus cycle accesses a dif-
ferent zone.
If cleared to 0, no idle cycle is inserted.
If set to 1, one idle cycle is inserted.
The IPRE bit can be cleared to 0, as no idle cy-
cles are required for on-chip accesses.
8.3.4
Accesses to Peripheral
When the CPU accesses on-chip peripherals in the range of
F800-FAFF hex and FC00-FFFF hex, one wait cycle and one
preliminary idle cycle is used. No hold cycles are used.

Recommended Register Settings
Table 9 shows the recommended register settings for various
clock rates. Different clock rates require different register set-
tings because the flash EEPROM program memories have
specific setup and hold requirements that can be met only by
using enough wait cycles and hold cycles.
8.3
WAIT AND HOLD STATES USED
The number of wait cycles and hold cycles inserted into a bus
cycle depends on whether it is a read or write operation, the
type of memory or I/O being accessed, and the control regis-
ter settings.
8.3.1
Flash EEPROM Program Memory
When the CPU accesses the flash EEPROM program mem-
ory (address ranges 0000-BFFF and 10000-1BFFF), the
number of added wait and hold cycles depends on the type
of access and the BIU register settings.
In fast read mode (SZCFG0.FRE=1), a read operation is a
single cycle access. This limits the maximum CPU operating
frequency to either 10 MHz or 24 MHz (see Section 9.1.1).
For a read operation in normal read mode (SZCFG0.FRE=0),
the number of inserted wait cycles is one plus the value writ-
ten to the SZCFG0.WAIT field. The number in this field can
range from zero to seven, so the total number of wait cycles
can range from one to eight. The number of inserted hold cy-
cles is equal to the value written to the SCCFG0.HOLD field,
which can range from zero to three.
For a write operation in fast read mode (SZCFG0.FRE=1),
the number of inserted wait cycles is one. No hold cycles are
used.

9.0 Memory
9.1.1
Reading
The CompactRISC architecture supports a uniform linear ad-
dress space of 2 megabytes, addressed by 21 bits. The de-
vice implementation of this architecture uses only the lowest
128K bytes of address space. Each memory location con-
tains a byte consisting of eight bits.
Program memory read accesses can operate without wait cy-
cles with a CPU clock rate of up to 24MHz in the normal
mode. At higher clock rates, memory read accesses can op-
erate with one wait state.
Various types of on-chip memory occupy specific intervals
within the address space: 96K bytes of flash EEPROM pro-
gram memory, 4K bytes of static RAM, 2K bytes of low endur-
ance EEPROM data memory, 128 bytes of high endurance
EEPROM data memory, and 1.5K bytes of ISP memory. All
of these memories are 16 bits wide, and their contents can
be accessed either as bytes (eight bits wide) or words (16 bits
wide except for the program memory which only supports
word access).
The programmed number of wait cycles used (either zero or
one) is controlled by the BIU Configuration (BCFG) register
and the Static Zone 0 Configuration (SZCFG0) register.
These registers are described in Section 8.0.
9.1.2
Conventional Programming Modes
The flash EEPROM program memory can be programmed
either with the device plugged into a flash EEPROM pro-
grammer unit (External Programming) or with the device al-
ready installed in the application system (In-System-
Programming).
The CPU core uses the Load and Store instructions to ac-
cess memory. These instructions can operate on bytes or
words. For a byte access, the CPU operates on a single byte
occupying a specified memory address. For a word access,
the CPU operates on two consecutive bytes. In that case, the
specified address refers to the least significant byte of the
data value; the most significant byte is located at the next
higher address. Thus, the ordering of bytes in memory is
from least to most significant byte, known as “little-endian” or-
dering. For more efficient data access operations, 16-bit vari-
ables should be stored starting at word boundaries (at even
address).
If the device is programmed using a flash EEPROM program-
mer, the device is set into an external programming mode. In
this mode the device operates as if it were a pure flash mem-
ory device. The flash memory is programmed without involv-
ing any CPU activity.
If the device is to be programmed within the user application,
it can either be done by an user written boot loader or by uti-
lizing a pre-programmed in-system-programming code (ISP-
Code) residing in the boot ROM array of the device.
The device executes the pre-programmed in-system-pro-
gramming code if it operates in the In-System-Programming
Mode (ISP-Mode). To enter the ISP-Mode the device must be
reset (or powered-up) with the ENV0-pin set to low level and
the ENV1-pin set to high level (or left open). Also if the flash
program memory is not programmed yet (FLCTRL2.EMPTY
bit is still set) the device automatically enters the ISP-Mode
after reset, even though both pins ENV0 and ENV1are at
high level (or left open). If the device enters the ISP-Mode it
starts execution at address E000 hex.
9.1
FLASH EEPROM PROGRAM MEMORY
The flash EEPROM program memory is used to store the ap-
plication program. The 96K bytes of this memory reside in the
address range of 0000-BFFF hex and 10000-1BFFF in Zone
0 of the CR16B address space. A normal CPU write opera-
tion to this memory has no effect.
The flash EEPROM Program Memory module has the follow-
ing features:
— 96K bytes arranged in 2 blocks each organized as 24K
by 16 bits
— Page size of 64 words
— 30 s programming pulse per word
— Page mode erase with a 1 ms pulse, mass erase with
4ms pulse
In ISP-Mode the program code can be downloaded into the
device using one of the on-chip USARTs and written into the
flash program memory. For more detailed information on the
In-System-Programming features of the pre-programmed
ISP-Code please refer to the ISP-Monitor manual.

9.1.3
User-Coded Programming Routines
Instead of using a flash EEPROM programmer unit or the
conventional in-system programming mode, you can write
your own processor code to program and erase the flash
EEPROM program memory. User-written code is more flexi-
ble than using the other programming methods. Like the con-
ventional in-system programming mode, the device is
programmed while it is installed in the system. It is not nec-
essary to reset the device or use the ENV0/ENV1 pins to
configure the device.
User-written flash programming code must reside outside of
the flash program memory. This is because the entire pro-
gram memory becomes unavailable while programming or
erasing any part of this memory.

9.1.4
Flash EEPROM Programming and Verify
the programming sequence exceeds a row, the flash pro-
gramming interface will automatically initiate a programming
pulse for the next row. The FLCSR.PMLFULL bit is also
cleared when programming of the last word of the current row
is completed, e.g. programming of the entire row is complet-
ed and MSTAT.PGMBUSY is cleared. This means, the sepa-
ration of the program memory into rows is transparent to the
user, as the transition is handled by the flash program mem-
ory interface. Figure 3 shows a flowchart for a programming
sequence.
The flash EEPROM program memory programming and
erase can be performed using different methods. It can be
done through user code that is stored in system RAM, or
through In-System-Programming mode, but should not be
programmed through the flash EEPROM program memory it-
self as no instruction or data can be fetched from it while it is
being programmed. All program and erase operations must
be preceded immediately by writing the proper key to the pro-
gram memory key register PGMKEY.
The flash EEPROM program memory is divided into 768
pages, each page containing 64 words (each 16 bits wide).
Each page is further divided into two adjacent rows. A page
erase will erase one page. Programming is done by writing to
all the words within a row, one word following another se-
quentially within one single high voltage pulse. This is sup-
ported through a double-buffered write-data buffer scheme.
Byte programming is not supported. Programming should be
done on erased rows.

When programming, the data to be written into the flash EE-

while the flash EEPROM program memory is idle, the write
cycle will start. Due to the double-buffered nature of the write-
data buffer, a second word can be written to the flash EE-
PROM program memory. This will then set FLCSR.PML-
FULL flag indicating the buffer is now full. When the first write
is done, the memory address would be incremented, and the
second word would be written to that address while keeping
the high voltage pulse active; the FLCSR.PMLFULL flag is
cleared. Another word can then be written to the buffer, and
this programming will repeat until there are no more words to
be programmed. This allows pipelined writes to different
words on the same row within the same high voltage pulse. If

Erase and Programming Timing
The internal hardware of the device handles the timing of
erase and programming operations. To drive the timing con-
trol circuits, the device divides the system clock by a pro-
23
www.national.com
grammable prescaler factor. You should select a prescaler
value to produce a program/erase clock of 200 kHz (or as
close as possible to 200 kHz without exceeding 200 kHz). For
the timing control circuit to operate correctly, you must pro-
gram the prescaler value in advance and leave it unchanged
while a program or erase operation is in progress. A similar
(but separate) prescaler factor is applied to the EEPROM
data memory. See Section 9.1.7 and Section 9.3.4 for de-
tails.
You should choose a value of FTDIV to produce a clock of the
highest possible frequency that is equal to or just less than
200 kHz. For example, if the system clock frequency is 12.5
MHz, use the value 3E hex (62 decimal) for FTDIV, because
12.5 MHz / (62+1) = 198.4 kHz. Do not modify this register
while a flash EEPROM program or erase operation is in
progress.
Upon reset, this register is programmed by default with the
value 63 hex (99 decimal), which is an appropriate setting for
a 20 MHz system clock.

Program Memory Start Time Reload (FLSTART)
The Flash EEPROM Program Memory Control and Status
(FLCSR) register is a byte-wide, read/write register that con-
tains several status and control bits related to the program
memory. All reserved bits must be written with 0 for the mem-
ory to operate properly when writing to this register. Upon re-
set, this register is cleared to zero when the flash memory on
the chip is in the idle state.
The FLSTART register is a byte-wide read/write register that
controls the program and erase start delay time. This value is
loaded into the lower 8 bits of the flash timing counter, and at
the same time, 00 is loaded into the upper 2 bits. Before you

RAM MEMORY
The static RAM memory is used for temporary storage of
data and for the program and interrupt stacks. The 4K bytes
of this memory reside in the address range of C000-CFFF

byte or word access. No wait cycles or hold cycles are re-
quired. For non-aligned word access, each memory access
requires multiple clock cycles.
Upon reset, this register resets to 31 when the flash mem-
ory on the chip is in idle state.

a delay of (FTEND + 1) prescaler output clocks. The default
value provides a delay time of 5µs when the prescaler output
clock is 200kHz. Do not modify this register while program/
erase operation is in progress.

returns the value of the program memory prescaler counter.
FPCNT contains the flash timing prescaler present count val-
ue.

used to generate the data memory programming clock from
the system clock, as described in Section 9.3.4.
The FLCNT1 register is a byte-wide read-only register that
returns the lower 8 bits of the program memory timing
counter value. FLCNTL is the lower 8 bits of the flash timer
present count value.
A code fetch from ISP flash EEPROM program memory is
not possible while flash EEPROM data memory is being pro-
grammed because they share the same memory array.
9.1.15 Program Memory Timer Count Register 2

After the CPU performs a write to the flash EEPROM data
memory, the on-chip hardware completes the EEPROM pro-
gramming in the background. When programming begins,
the on-chip hardware sets the DMCSR.DMBUSY bit to 1, and
also sets the MSTAT.PGMBUSY bit to 1. When programming
is completed, it resets these status bits back to 0. Once the
software writes to the flash EEPROM data memory, it should

FTDIV. The device divides the system clock by (FTDIV+1) to
produce the data memory programming clock.
The device hardware internally generates the voltages and
timing signals necessary for programming. No additional
power supply is required, nor any software required except to
check the status bit for completion of programming. The min-
imum time required to erase and reprogram a byte or word is
1.1 ms. The programmed values can be verified by using nor-
mal memory read operations. The prescaler output drives a
10-bit counter to generate timing pulses and there are five re-
load registers to produce various pulse widths.
You should choose a value of FTDIV to produce a clock of the
highest possible frequency that is equal to or just less than
200 kHz. Upon reset, this register is programmed by default
with the value 63 hex (99 decimal), which is an appropriate
setting for a 20 MHz system clock.

(DMTRAN)
The DMCSR register is a byte-wide, read/write register used
with the flash EEPROM data memory or ISP flash EEPROM
program memory. When writing to this register, all reserved
bits must be written with 0 for the memory to operate proper-
ly. There are two status/control bits, as shown in the register
format below.
The DMTRAN register is a byte-wide read/write register that
controls some program/erase transition times. This value is
loaded into the lower 8 bits of the flash timing counter, and at
the same time, 00 is loaded into the upper 2 bits. Before you
2
write to the data memory for the first time, you should pro-
gram the DMTRAN register with the proper prescaler value,
an 8-bit value called FTTRAN. The flash timing counter gen-
erates a delay of (FTTRAN + 1) prescaler output clocks. The

the data memory for the first time, you should program the
DMERASE register with the proper prescaler value, an 8-bit
value called FTER. The flash timing counter generates a
erase pulse width of 4×(FTER + 1) prescaler output clocks.
The default value provides a delay time of 1ms when the
prescaler output clock is 200kHz. Do not modify this register
while program/erase operation is in progress.
The In-System Program memory is part of the flash memory
array that contains the flash EEPROM data memory. It is not
possible to access the ISP memory while programming the
flash EEPROM data memory or access the flash EEPROM
data memory while programming the ISP memory. The 1.5K
bytes of ISP memory resides in the address range of E000-
E5FF and is used for storing the boot ROM. The ROM con-
tains the code that performs in-system programming, and is
programmed at the factory. In ISP mode, code execution
starts at address E000.
Upon reset, this register resets to 31 when the flash mem-
16
ory on the chip is in idle state.
For mass erase, this value should be changed to C7 when
16
the flash EEPROM data memory goes to idle mode.
The ISP program memory and flash EEPROM data memory
share the same memory array, which makes it impossible to
access one type of memory while the other is being pro-
grammed.

The ISP flash EEPROM program memory read accesses
can operate without wait cycles with a CPU clock rate of up
to 20MHz in the normal mode. At higher clock rates, read ac-

FTCNT[0:9] is the flash timer present count value.
9.3.12 Data Memory Write Key Register (DMKEY)
The DMKEY register is a byte-wide, read/write register that
provides a way to “lock” the data contained in the EEPROM
data memory. Upon reset, the register is automatically set to
C9 hex, which is the key value. Writing to the EEPROM data
memory is allowed as long as the DMKEY register contains
this value. When the register contains any value other than
C9 hex, writing the EEPROM data memory is disallowed.
The programmed number of wait cycles used (either zero or
one) is controlled by BIU Configuration (BCFG) register and
the Static Zone 1 Configuration (SZCFG1) register. These
registers are described in Section 8.0.
9.4.2
User-Coded Programming Routines
All program and erase operations must be preceded by writ-
ing the proper key to the program memory key register ISP-
KEY. The programming code can be in-system RAM, but
cannot be from ISP flash EEPROM program memory or flash
EEPROM data memory as accesses within these ranges are
not permitted while ISP flash EEPROM program memory is
being programmed.
To “lock” the current data stored in the data memory, write an-
other value (such as 00 hex) to the DMKEY register. To “un-
lock” the data memory, write the value C9 hex to the DMKEY
register.
Note: Operation of this register is different in from the
PGMKEY register used with the program memory. It is not
necessary to write the key value to DMKEY every time you
write to the data memory.
The ISP flash memory is divided into 192 pages, each page
containing 4 words (each 16 bits wide). Each page is further
divided into two rows. Erase is carried out one page at a time,

Memory Control and Protection Features
The last 8 bytes of the ISP memory are reserved for special
functions and some of these bytes provide memory protec-
tion and security for the flash EEPROM program memory.
Read and various types of write protection are provided.
FROMWR Upon reset of the chip, write security is enabled
and program and erase operations to the flash
EEPROM program memory in either program-
ming modes are prevented.
During the reset stretch period, bytes located at E5FE and
E5FF are read out to the FLCTRL2 and FLSEC registers re-
spectively. Upon reset and before an instruction fetch, bytes
located at E5FC and E5FD are read out to the FLCTRL2 and
FLCTRL1 registers respectively. Parts of FLCTRL2 register
are loaded at different times.
Once read/write security is enabled, the odd numbered bytes
from address E5F9 to E5FF cannot be erased. Once a secu-
rity feature has been enabled, it cannot be undone. To pre-
vent the security status from being erased, the ISP and data
memory array cannot be mass erased.

anywhere within the user boot ROM area (defined above) ex-
cept for the last two words. When the user boot ROM area
has been disabled, this word cannot be programmed in the

The Interrupt Control Unit (ICU31L) receives interrupt re-
quests from internal and external sources and generates in-
terrupts to the CPU. Interrupts from the timers, USARTs,
MICROWIRE/SPI interface, Multi-Input Wake-Up, and A/D
converter are all maskable interrupts. The highest-priority in-
terrupt is the Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI), which is trig-
gered by a falling edge received on the NMI input pin.

execution of the interrupted program continues from the point
at which it was stopped.
8: BPT (Breakpoint Trap)

There are two kinds of exceptions, called traps and inter-
rupts. A trap is the result of some action or condition in the

1. Decrements the Interrupt Stack Point (ISP) by four.
2. Saves the contents of the Program Counter (PC) and
Processor Status Register (PSR) on the interrupt stack.
3. Clears the I, P, and T bits in the Processor Status Regis-
ter (PSR). These are the Global Maskable Interrupt En-
able bit, Trace Trap Pending bit, and Trace bit,
respectively.
4. Reads the interrupt vector from the Interrupt Vector Reg-
ister (IVCT).
5. Combines the interrupt vector with the value in the Inter-
rupt Base (INTBASE) register to obtain an address in
the Interrupt Dispatch Table, and loads the dispatch ta-
ble entry into the Program Counter (PC).

interrupted program. The CPU restores the contents of the
PC and PSR registers from the stack and increments the In-
terrupt Stack Pointer by four.

10.1.2 Service Routine Addresses
When an interrupt or trap occurs, the CPU executes a service
routine. There are different service routines for different inter-
rupts and traps. Each service routine may reside anywhere
in program memory. The starting addresses of the service
routines are contained in a table called the Dispatch Table.
Entries in the table are organized in the order shown in
Table 10.
Each entry in the Dispatch Table consists of two bytes that
provide bits 1 through 16 of the starting address of the corre-

cal (non-static) variables on the stack.
The pointer to the program stack is the SP register, which
must be initialized prior to any register save/restore opera-
tions or data transfer operations. Using the program stack, an
interrupt routine needs to initially save the contests of all reg-
isters that it uses, and restore those register contents before
returning to the interrupted program.

address of the Dispatch Table to the INTBASE register, a 21-
bit register with the five most significant bits and the least sig-
nificant bit always equal to 0. It is typically kept in the flash
EEPROM program memory. The Dispatch Table is 48 words
long.

Each interrupt or trap source has an associated vector num-
ber ranging from 0 to 31, as indicated in Table 10. When an
interrupt occurs, the hardware multiplies the vector by 2,
adds the result to the contents of the INTBASE register, and
uses the resulting address to obtain the service routine start-
ing address from the corresponding entry in the Dispatch Ta-
ble. This address is placed in the Program Counter so that
the CPU begins executing the interrupt service routine.

Maskable Interrupts

When an interrupt occurs, the CPU automatically preserves
the contents of the Program Counter (PC) and Processor
Status Register (PSR) by pushing them on the interrupt stack
and decrementing the Interrupt Stack Pointer by four. The
service routine ends with a Return from Exception (RETX) in-
struction, which returns control to the interrupted program by
restoring the PC and PSR values and incrementing the Inter-
rupt Stack Pointer (ISP) by four.
Figure 5.
10.2
NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT
A non-maskable interrupt is triggered by a falling edge on the
NMI input pin, which generates a software trap. The NMI pin
is an asynchronous input with Schmitt trigger characteristics
and an internal synchronization circuit. Therefore, no exter-
nal synchronizing is needed.
Prior to using any interrupts, the Interrupt Stack Pointer (ISP)
must be initialized so that it points to a space in RAM where
the interrupt stack will be kept. The stack grows downward in
memory (toward address zero) when an interrupt occurs and
items are pushed onto the stack. The stack shrinks upward in
memory when an interrupt service routine ends and items
are popped from the stack.
Upon reset, the non-maskable interrupt is disabled and
should remain disabled until the software initializes the inter-
rupt table, interrupt base, and interrupt stack pointer. It can
be enabled by setting either of two control bits in the External
NMI Control/Status (EXNMI) register. The two bits are called
the EN (Enable) bit and the ENLCK (Enable and Lock) bit.
Many routines need to use the general-purpose registers R0
through R13. To preserve the existing register contents, a
routine can save register contents on the program stack upon
start of the routine and restore the register contents prior to
completion of the routine. The software can also use the pro-
gram stack to transfer data parameters from one routine to
another when the parameters are too large to easily fit into
The EN bit enables the NMI trap until an NMI trap event or a
reset occurs. An NMI trap automatically resets the EN bit. Us-
ing this bit to enable the NMI trap is intended for applications
where the NMI pin is toggled frequently but nested NMI traps
are not needed. The trap service routine should re-enable the
NMI trap by setting the EN bit before returning to the main
program.
www.national.com
32
The ENLCK bit enables the NMI trap and locks it in the en-
abled state. In other words, it leaves the NMI trap enabled
even after the trap occurs. It can be cleared only by a reset
operation. After the bit is set, an NMI trap is triggered by each
falling edge on the NMI pin, allowing nested NMI traps.
To enable a maskable interrupt, the enable bit must be set in
the applicable peripheral module and also in the appropriate
Interrupt and Enable Mask register, IENAM0 or IENAM1. In
addition, both the Global Maskable Interrupt Enable bit (I)
and the Local Maskable Interrupt Enable bit (E) must be set
to 1 in the PSR register. If either one of these bits is 0, then
all maskable interrupts are disabled. The CR16B core sup-
ports IRQ0, but ICU31L reserves IRQ0 so that it is not con-
nected to any interrupt source.
To use the EN bit, the ENLCK must remain cleared to 0. Oth-
erwise, the EN bit is ignored.
10.3
MASKABLE INTERRUPTS
Maskable interrupts can be enabled or disabled under soft-
ware control. There are 31 level-triggered maskable interrupt
sources (including some reserved for future expansion), or-
ganized into levels of priority. If more than one interrupt event
occurs at any given time, the interrupt source with the highest
priority is serviced first. The others must wait until the high-
est-priority interrupt is serviced and is no longer pending.
Both the E bit and I bit can be controlled with the Load Pro-
cessor Register (LPR) instruction. In addition, the E bit is
easily changed by executing the Enable Interrupts (EI) or Dis-
able Interrupts (DI) instruction. Using the EI and DI instruc-
tions avoids the possibility of an interrupt occurring within a
read-modify-write operation on the PSR register.
10.4

10.5.1 Initialization
A bit set to 1 enables the corresponding interrupt. A bit
cleared to 0 disables the corresponding interrupt. Upon reset,
this register is initialized to FFFF hex.
Upon reset, all interrupts are disabled. To program the device
for interrupt operation and to enable interrupts, use the fol-
lowing procedure in the application software:
www.national.com
34
1. Set the Interrupt Stack Pointer (ISP)
2. Load the INTBASE register so that it points to the base
of the Interrupt Dispatch Table.
3. Perform any required preparation steps for the interrupt
service routines.
4. Initialize the peripheral devices that can generate inter-
rupts and set their respective interrupt enable bits.
5. Set the relevant bits in the interrupt mask registers
(IENAM0 and IENAM1)
the software after clearing the interrupt pending bit and be-
fore another interrupt. Placing a NOP instruction will perform
this instruction. This is because the instruction which resets
the pending bit may not yet be finished when the interrupts
are already enabled again by setting the I bit in the PSR reg-
ister. To avoid this situation the user has to make sure that pri-
or to enabling the interrupt an additional instruction is
inserted. This could look like the example below:
SBITi $0, T1ICRL # clear pending bit
Note: The MIWU16 interrupts have no local interrupt en-
able bits, which means you can only disable the
MIWU16 interrupts if you clear the specific bits in the IE-
NAM register.
NOP
# NOP instruction
MOVW $0x0a00, r0 # enable further interrupts
LPR r0, psr
6. Use the Load Processor Register (LPR) instruction to
set I bit in the PSR register.
7. When the device is ready to execute interrupts, set the E
bit in the PSR register by executing the Enable Interrupts
(EI) instruction.
A CBITi or SBITi instruction may be used to clear the inter-
rupt pending bit. In such cases, a spurious interrupt may oc-
cur.
Once maskable interrupts are enabled by setting the E and I
bits, you can disable and re-enable all maskable interrupts lo-
cally by using the Enable Interrupts (EI) and Disable Inter-
rupts (DI) instructions, which set and clear the E bit.
10.5.2 Clearing Interrupts
Clearing an interrupt request before it is serviced may cause
a spurious interrupt because the CPU may detect an inter-
rupt not reflected in the Interrupt Vector (IVCT) register. To
ensure reliable operation, clear interrupt requests only while
interrupts are disabled.
Changing the polarity of an interrupt input (for example, in the
Multi-Input Wake-Up module) can cause a spurious interrupt,
and therefore should be done only while interrupts are dis-
abled.
For the same reason, clearing an enable bit in a peripheral
module should be carried out only while the interrupt is dis-
abled.
10.5.3 Nesting Interrupts
Interrupts may be nested, or in other words, an interrupt ser-
vice routine can itself be interrupted by a different interrupt
source. There is no hardware limitation on the number of in-
terrupt nesting levels. However, the interrupt stack must not
be allowed to overflow its allocated memory space.
Unless specifically enabled by the software, nested interrupts
will not occur. When the CPU acknowledges an interrupt, the
I bit in the PSR register is automatically cleared to 0 for the
duration of the service routine, disabling any further
maskable interrupts.
To allow nested interrupts, an interrupt service routine should
first set or clear the respective interrupt enable bits to specify
which peripherals will be allowed to interrupt the current ser-
vice routine. The present interrupt routine should be disabled
(or interrupt pending bit cleared). The service routine should
then set the PSR.I bit to 1, thus enabling maskable interrupts.
This bit can be controlled with the Store Processor Register
(SPR) and Load Processor Register (LPR) instructions.
Note:
Clearing the pending bit of the current interrupt should not be
immediately followed by enabling further interrupts by setting
the I bit in the PSR register. Wait states must be inserted into

11.0 Power Management
The Power Management Module (PMM) improves the effi-
ciency of the device by changing the operating mode (and
therefore the power consumption) according to the required
level of device activity.
by the slow clock rather than the normal high-speed clock. In
order to work properly in Power Save mode, modules that
perform real-time operations (such as a USART baud rate
generator) must be reprogrammed to use the slower clock.
The device can operate in any of four power modes:
To reduce power consumption as much as possible, the pro-
gram should execute a WAIT instruction during periods of
CPU inactivity.
— Active
— Power Save
— Idle
11.3
IDLE MODE
— Halt
In the Idle mode, the clock is stopped for most of the device.
Only the Power Management Module and Timing and Watch-
dog Module continue to operate. Both of these modules use
the slow clock in this mode.
Table 12 summarizes the main properties of the four operat-
ing modes: the state of the high-frequency oscillator (on or
off), the type of clock used by most modules, and the clock
used by the Timing and Watchdog Module (TWM).
11.4
HALT MODE
Table 12 Power Mode Operating Summary
In the Halt mode, all device clocks are disabled and the high-
frequency oscillator is shut off. In this mode, the device con-
sumes the least possible power while maintaining the device
memory and register contents. The low-frequency oscillator
continues to operate in this mode, but with very low power
consumption due to its power-optimized design.

CLOCK INPUTS AND RESET
CONFIGURATION
Halt
The system uses a high frequency clock Active mode. The
source of this clock in the device is a high frequency crystal
oscillator. The Oscillating High Frequency Clock (OHFC) in-
put indicates to the Power Management Module (PMM) when
this clock is stable and therefore usable. The clock can be
used when OHFC is set to 1. The PMM does not use the high
frequency clock when OHFC is set to 0. OHFC can be the
output of a clock monitor or a strapped input signal to this
module.
The low-frequency oscillator continues to operate in all four
modes and power must be provided continuously to the de-
vice power supply pins. In the Halt mode, however, the inter-
nal SLCLK does not toggle, and as a result, the TWM timer
and Watchdog Module do not operate. For the Power Save
and Idle modes, the high-frequency oscillator can be turned
on or off under software control, as long as the low-frequency
oscillator is used.
11.1
ACTIVE MODE
The low frequency clock is used in Power Save mode as the
system clock source. In Idle mode, it is used as the clock
source for the PMM and the TWM, both of which remain
clocked. The clock source may be a low frequency clock os-
cillator or the prescaler from the high frequency clock.
In the Active mode, all device modules are fully operational.
This is the operating mode upon reset. Most device modules
use the clock generated by the high-frequency clock oscilla-
tor. The clock rate is determined by the external crystal net-
work.
The Oscillating Low Frequency Clock (OLFC) input indicates
to the PMM when the clock is stable and therefore usable.
When OLFC is set to 1, it indicates that the clock can be
used. When OLFC is set to 0, the PMM does not use the low
frequency clock. OLFC is generated by the “slow clock good”
output of the Dual Clock and Reset module (CLK2RES).
Power consumption in the Active mode can be reduced by
selectively disabling unused modules and/or by executing the
WAIT instruction. When WAIT is executed, the core stops ex-
ecuting new instructions and waits for an interrupt.
11.2
POWER SAVE MODE
While in reset (i.e., the reset signal is active), the PMM out-
puts the clock as long as the clock selected for use upon re-
set is stable (OHFC or OLFC are 1). If the clock selected is
not stable, the PMM clock output remains low.
In the Power Save mode, all device modules operate off the
low-frequency clock. If the low-frequency clock is generated
from an external crystal network, the high-frequency clock
oscillator can be turned off to further reduce power consump-
tion.
11.6
SWITCHING BETWEEN POWER MODES
All on-chip modules continue to operate in the Power Save
mode, with the SLCLK acting as their system clock. If this
mode is entered by using the WAIT command, the CPU is in-
active and waits for an interrupt to wake up. Otherwise, CPU
continues to function normally at the lower frequency of the
slow clock.
Switching from a higher to a lower power consumption mode
is accomplished by writing an appropriate value to the Power
Management Control/Status Register (PMCSR). Switching
from a lower power consumption mode to the Active mode is
usually triggered by a hardware interrupt. Figure 6 shows the
four power consumption modes and the events that trigger a
transition from one mode to another.
The low frequency of the clock in Power Save mode limits the
operation of modules such as the USARTs, MICROWIRE in-
terface, A/D Converter, and timers because they are driven
Some of the power-up transitions are based on the occur-
rence of a wake-up event. An event of this type can be either

Idle mode upon execution of a WAIT instruc-
tion. In order to enter the Idle mode directly
from the Active mode, the WBPSM bit must be
set before the WAIT instruction is executed.
The IDLE bit can be set and cleared by the soft-
ware. When a hardware wake-up event is de-
tected, this bit is cleared automatically and the
device returns to the Active mode.
Halt Mode. When this bit is set and the device
is in Idle mode, the device enters the Halt mode
upon execution of a WAIT instruction. In order
to enter the Halt mode directly from the Active
mode, the WBPSM bit must be set before the
WAIT instruction is executed.

of the maskable hardware wake-up events are gathered and
processed by the Multi-Input Wake-Up Module, which is ac-
tive in all modes. Once a wake-up event is detected, it is
latched until an interrupt acknowledge cycle occurs or a reset
is applied.
WBPSM
Wait Before Entering Power Save Mode. When
the CPU writes a 1 to the PSM bit, the WBPSM
determines when the transition from Active to
Power Save mode is done. If the WBPSM bit is
0, the switch to Power Save mode is initiated
immediately; the PSM bit in the register is set
to 1 upon completion of the switch to Power
Save mode. If the WBPSM bit is 1, the device
continues to operate in Active mode until the
next WAIT instruction, and then enters the
Power Save mode. In this case, the PSM bit is
set to 1 immediately, even if a WAIT instruction
has not yet been executed.
A wake-up event causes a transition to the Active mode and
restores normal clock operation, but does not start execution
of the program. It is the interrupt service routine associated
with the wake-up source (MIWU16 or NMI) that causes actu-
al program execution to resume.
11.6.1 Power Management Control/Status Register
(PMCSR)
In the Active mode, the WBPSM bit must be set
in order to enter the Idle or Halt mode.
The Power Management Control/Status Register (PMCSR)
is a byte-wide, read/write register that controls the operating
power mode (Active, Power Save, Idle, or Halt) and enables
or disables the high-frequency oscillator in the Power Save
and Idle modes. The two most significant bits, OLFC and
OHFC, are read-only status bits controlled by the hardware.
Upon reset, the non-reserved bits of this register are cleared.
The format of the register is shown below.
OHFC
Oscillating High-Frequency Clock. This read-
only bit indicates the status of the high-frequen-
cy clock. If this bit is 1, the high-frequency clock
is available and stable. If this bit is 0, the high-
frequency clock is either disabled, not available
to the Power Management Module, or operat-
ing but not yet stable. The device can switch to
the Active mode only when this bit is 1.
Oscillating Low-Frequency Clock. This read-
only bit indicates the status of the low-frequen-
cy (slow) clock. If this bit is 1, it indicates that
the slow clock is running and stable. The slow
clock can be either the prescaled fast clock (the
default) or the external oscillator (if selected).
The Dual Clock module will not allow a transi-
tion to the slow crystal mode unless the slow
crystal is operating, so this bit should be 1 un-
der normal circumstances.

Power Save Mode. When this bit is 0, the de-
vice operates in the Active mode. Writing a 1 to
this bit position puts the device into the Power
Save mode, either immediately or upon execu-
tion of the next WAIT instruction, depending on
the WBPSM bit.
The PSM bit can be set and cleared by the soft-
ware. It is also cleared by the hardware when a
hardware wake-up event is detected.
The device can switch from the Active mode to
the Power Save or Idle mode only if the OLFC
bit is 1. There is no such restriction on switch-
ing to the Halt mode.
DHF
Disable High-Frequency Oscillator. This bit en-
ables (0) or disables (1) the high-frequency os-
cillator in the Power Save or Idle mode. (The
high-frequency oscillator is always enabled in
Active mode and always disabled in Halt mode,
regardless of this bit settings.) The DHF bit is
cleared automatically when a hardware wake-
up event is detected.
11.6.2 Active to Power Save Mode
A transition from the Active mode to the Power Save mode is
accomplished by writing a 1 to the PMCSR.PSM bit. The
transition to Power Save mode is either initiated immediately
or upon execution of the next WAIT instruction, depending on
the PMCSR.WBPSM bit.
IDLE
Idle Mode. When this bit is set and the device
is in Power Save mode, the device enters the

SR.WBPSM=0), the CPU continues to operate using the low-
frequency clock. The PMCSR.PSM bit is set to 1 when the
transition to the Power Save mode is completed.
SR.DHF bit. Before writing a 0 to the PMCSR.PSM bit, the
software should first monitor the PMCSR.OHFC bit to deter-
mine whether the oscillator has stabilized.
11.6.7 Wake-Up Transition to Active Mode
For a transition upon the next WAIT instruction (PMC-
SR.WBPSM=1), the CPU continues to operate in the Active
mode until it executes a WAIT instruction. Upon execution of
the WAIT instruction, the device enters the Power Save mode
and the CPU waits for the next interrupt event. In this case,
the PMCSR.PSM bit is set to 1 when it is written, even before
the WAIT instruction is executed.
A hardware wake-up event switches the device directly from
Power Save, Idle, or Halt mode to the Active mode.
Hardware wake-up events are:
•
•
a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI)
a valid wake-up event on a Multi-Input Wake-Up channel
When a wake-up event occurs, the on-chip hardware per-
forms the following steps:
11.6.3 Entering the Idle Mode
Entry into the Idle mode is accomplished by writing a 1 to the
PMCSR.IDLE bit and then executing a WAIT instruction.
1. Clears the PMCSR.DHF bit, thus enabling the high-fre-
quency clock (if it was disabled).
2. Waits for the PMCSR.OHFC bit to be set, which indi-
cates that the high-frequency clock is operating and is
stable.
The Idle mode can be entered only from the Active or Power
Save mode. For entry from the Active mode, the PMC-
SR.WBPSM bit must be set before the WAIT instruction is ex-
ecuted.
3. Switches the device into the Active mode.
11.6.8 Power Mode Switching Protection
11.6.4 Disabling the High-Frequency Clock
The Power Management Module has several mechanisms to
protect the device from malfunctions caused by missing or
unstable clock signals.
In systems where the low-frequency crystal is available and
is used to generate the Slow Clock (SLCLK), power con-
sumption can be reduced further in the Power Save or Idle
mode by disabling the high-frequency clock. This is accom-
plished by writing a 1 to the PMCSR.DHF bit before executing
the WAIT instruction that puts the device in the Power Save
or Idle mode. The high-frequency clock is turned off only after
the device enters the Power Save or Idle mode.
The PMCSR.OHFC and PMCSR.OLFC bits indicate the cur-
rent status of the high-frequency and low-frequency clock os-
cillators, respectively. The software can check the
appropriate bit before it changes to an operating mode that
requires the clock. A status bit set to 1 indicates an operating,
stable clock. A status bit cleared to 0 indicates a clock that is
disabled, not available, or not yet stable.
The CPU operates on the low-frequency clock in Power Save
mode. It can turn off the high-frequency clock at any time by
writing a 1 to the PMCSR.DHF bit.
During a power mode transition, if there is a request to switch
to a mode that uses clock with its status bit cleared to 0, the
switch is delayed until that bit is set to 1 by the hardware.
The high-frequency oscillator is always enabled in Active
mode and always disabled in Halt mode, regardless of the
PMCSR.DHF bit setting.
When the system is built without an external crystal network
for the low-frequency clock, the high-frequency clock is divid-
ed by a prescaler factor to produce the low-frequency clock.
In this situation, the high-frequency clock is disabled only in
the Halt mode, and cannot be disabled for the Power Save or
Immediately following power-up and entry into the Active
mode, the software must wait for the low-frequency clock to
become stable before it can put the device in the Power Save
mode. It should monitor the PMCSR.OLFC bit for this pur-
pose. Once this bit is set to 1, the slow clock is stable and the
Power Save mode can be entered.
.
Idle mode, regardless of the software command issued
Without an external crystal network for the low-frequency
clock, the device comes out of the Halt or Idle mode and en-
ters the Active mode with the high-speed oscillator used as
the clock. The device can still enter the Power Save from the
Active mode by using the high-frequency-clock divider to
generate the slow clock (PMCSR.DHF=0).
11.6.5 Entering the Halt Mode
Entry into the Halt mode is accomplished by writing a 1 to the
PMCSR.HALT bit and then executing a WAIT instruction.
The Halt mode can be entered only from the Active or Power
Save mode. For entry from the Active mode, the PMC-
SR.WBPSM bit must be set before the WAIT instruction is ex-
ecuted.
Note:
For correct operation in the absence of a low-frequen-
cy crystal, the X2CKI pin must be tied low (not left floating) so
that the hardware can detect the absence of the crystal.
11.6.6 Software-Controlled Transition to Active Mode
A transition from the Power Save mode to the Active mode
can be accomplished by either a software command or a
hardware wake-up event. The software method is to write a 0
to the PMCSR.PSM bit. The value of the register bit changes
only after the transition to the Active mode is completed.
If the high-frequency oscillator is disabled for Power Save op-
eration, the oscillator must be enabled and allowed to stabi-
lize before the transition to Active mode. To enable the high-
frequency oscillator, the software writes a 0 to the PMC-

12.0 Dual Clock and Reset
The Dual Clock and Reset module (CLK2RES) generates a
high-speed main system clock from an external crystal net-
work and a slow clock (32.768 kHz or other rate) for operating
the device in Power Save mode. It also provides the main
system reset signal, a power-on reset function, a main clock
prescaler to generate two additional low speed clocks, and
an 32kHz oscillator start-up delay.

12.1
EXTERNAL CRYSTAL NETWORK
An external crystal network is required at pins X1CKI and
X1CKO for the main clock. A similar external crystal network
may be used at pins X2CKI and X2CKO for the slow clock in
packages that have these pins. If an external crystal network
is not used for the slow clock, the clock is generated by divid-
ing the fast main clock.
Figure 8 shows the required crystal network at X1CKI/
X1CKO and optional crystal network at X2CKI/X2CKO.
Table 13 shows the component specifications for the main
crystal network and Table 14 shows the component specifi-
cations for the 32.768 kHz crystal network.
The crystal oscillator you choose may require external com-
ponents different from the ones specified above. In that case,

This signal is an indicator that the main clock oscillator is sta-

The “Stop Main Osc” signal from the Power Management

is asserted, it presets the 14-bit timer to 3FFF hex and stops
the main oscillator. When the signal goes inactive, the main

set value. When the timer reaches zero, it stops counting and
asserts the “Good Main Clk” signal.

can be trimmed to obtain the desired load capacitance.
The start-up time of the 32.768 kHz oscillator can vary from
one to six seconds. The long start-up time is due to the high
“Q” value and high serial resistance of the crystal necessary
to minimize power consumption in Power Save mode.
12.3
SLOW SYSTEM CLOCK
The slow (32.768 kHz) clock is necessary for operating the
device in Power Save modes and to provide a clock source
for modules such as the Timing and Watchdog Module.
12.2
MAIN SYSTEM CLOCK
The slow clock operates in a manner similar to the main
clock. The “Stop Slow Osc” signal from the Power Manage-
ment Module stops and starts the slow oscillator. When this
signal is asserted, it presets a 6-bit timer to 3F hex and dis-
ables the slow oscillator. When the signal goes inactive, the
slow oscillator starts and the 6-bit timer counts down from its
preset value. When the timer reaches zero, it stops counting
The main system clock is generated by the main oscillator. It
can be stopped by the Power Management Module to reduce
power consumption during periods of reduced activity. When
the main clock is restarted, a 14-bit timer generates a “Good
Main Clk” signal after a start-up delay of 32,768 clock cycles.

set, this bit is cleared to 0.
POR
Power-On Reset. This bit is set to 1 by the
hardware when a power-on condition is detect-
ed, allowing the CPU to determine whether a
power-up has occurred. The CPU can clear
this bit to 0 but cannot set it to 1. Any attempt
by the CPU to set this bit is ignored.
For systems that do not require a reduced power consump-
tion mode, the external crystal network may be omitted for
the slow clock. In that case, the slow clock can be created by
dividing the main clock by a prescaler factor. The prescaler
circuit consists of a fixed divide-by-2 counter and a program-
mable 8-bit prescaler register. This allows a choice of clock
divisors ranging from 2 to 512. The resulting slow clock fre-
quency must not exceed 100 kHz.
12.7
SLOW CLOCK PRESCALER REGISTER
(PRSSC)
A software-programmable multiplexer selects either the pres-
caled main clock or the 32.768 kHz oscillator as the slow
clock. Upon reset, the prescaled main clock is selected, en-
suring that the slow clock is always present initially. Selection
of the 32.768 kHz oscillator as the slow clock disables the
clock prescaler, which allows the CLK1 oscillator to be turned
off during power-save operation, thus reducing power con-
sumption and radiated emissions. This can be done only if
the module detects a togging low-speed oscillator. If the low-
speed oscillator is not operating, the prescaler remains avail-
able as the slow clock source.
The Slow Clock Prescaler (PRSSC) register is a byte-wide
read/write register that holds the clock divisor used to gener-
ate the slow clock from the main clock. The format of the reg-
ister is shown below.

set to FF hex.
12.4
POWER-ON RESET
The Power-On Reset circuit generates a system reset signal
upon power-up and holds the signal active for a period of time
to allow the crystal oscillator to stabilize. The circuit detects a
power turn-on condition, which presets the 14-bit timer to
3FFF hex. Once oscillation starts and the clock becomes ac-
tive, the timer starts counting down. When the count reaches
zero, the 14-bit timer stops counting and the internal reset
signal is deactivated (unless the RESET pin is held low).

SLOW CLOCK PRESCALER 1 REGISTER
(PRSSC1)
The Slow Clock Prescaler 1 (PRSSC1) register is a byte-

An active-low reset input pin called RESET allows the device
to be reset at any time. When the signal goes low, it gener-
ates an internal system reset signal that remains active until
the RESET signal goes high again.

DUAL CLOCK AND RESET REGISTERS

13.0 Multi-Input Wake-Up
The Multi-Input Wake-Up (MIWU16) module monitors its 16
input channels for a software-selectable trigger condition.
Upon detection of a trigger condition, the module generates
an interrupt request and if enabled, a wake-up request. A
wake-up request can be used by the power management unit
to exit the Halt, Idle, or Power Save mode and return to the
active mode. An interrupt request generates an interrupt to
the CPU (interrupt IRQ2), allowing interrupt processing in re-
sponse to external events.
13.1
WAKE-UP EDGE DETECTION REGISTER
(WKEDG)
The Wake-Up Edge Detection (WKEDG) register is a word-
wide read/write register that controls the edge sensitivity of
the Multi-Input Wake-Up pins. Register bits 0 through 15 con-
trol input pins WUI0 through WUI15, respectively. A bit
cleared to 0 configures the corresponding input to trigger on
a rising edge (a low-to-high transition). A bit set to 1 config-
ures the corresponding input to trigger on a falling edge (a
high-to-low transition).
The wake-up event only activates the clocks and CPU, but
does not by itself initiate execution of any code. It is the inter-
rupt request associated with the MIWU16 that gets the CPU
to start executing code, by jumping to the proper interrupt
routine. Therefore, setting up the MIWU16 interrupt handler
is essential for any wake-up operation.
This register is cleared upon reset, which configures all 16 in-
puts to be triggered on rising edges.
The register format is shown below.

There are four interrupt requests that can be routed to the
ICU as shown in Figure 9. Each of the 16 MIWU channels
can be programmed to activate one of these four interrupt re-
quests.

13.2
WAKE-UP ENABLE REGISTER (WKENA)
The Wake-Up Enable (WKENA) register is a word-wide read/
write register that enables or disables each of the Multi-Input
Wake-Up channels. Register bits 0 through 15 control chan-
nels WUI0 through WUI15, respectively. A bit cleared to 0 dis-
ables the wake-up function and a bit set to 1 enables the
function.

Each input can be configured to trigger on rising or falling

Each trigger event is latched into the WKPND register. If a
trigger event is enabled by its respective bit in the WKENA
register, an active wake-up/interrupt signal is generated. The
software can determine which channel has generated the ac-
tive signal by reading the WKPND register.
The Multi-Input Wake-Up module is active at all times, includ-
ing the Halt mode. All device clocks are stopped in this mode.
Therefore, detecting an external trigger condition and the
subsequent setting of the pending flag are not synchronous
to the system clock.

ger condition has occurred. A bit set to 1 indicates that a trig-
ger condition has occurred and is pending on the
corresponding channel. This register is cleared upon reset.

PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES
To set up and use the Multi-Input Wake-Up function, use the
following procedure. Performing the steps in the order shown
will prevent false triggering of a wake-up condition. This same
procedure should be used following a reset because the
wake-up inputs are left floating, resulting in unknown data on
the input pins.
1. Clear the WKENA register to disable the wake-up chan-
nels.
2. If the input originates from an I/O port (the usual case),
set the corresponding bit in the port direction register to
configure the I/O pin to operate as an input.
3. Write the WKEDG register to select the desired type of
edge sensitivity (clear to 0 for rising edge, set to 1 for fall-
ing edge).
4. Set all bits in the WKPCL register to clear any pending
bits in the WKPND register.
5. Set up the WKICTL1 and WKICTL2 registers to define
the interrupt request signal used for each channel.
6. Set the bits in the WKENA register corresponding to the
wake-up channels to be activated.
To change the edge sensitivity of a wake-up channel, use the
following procedure. Performing the steps in the order shown
will prevent false triggering of a wake-up/interrupt condition.
1. Clear the WKENA bit associated with the input to be re-
programmed.
2. Write the new value to the corresponding bit position in
the WKEDG register to reprogram the edge sensitivity of
the input.
3. Set the corresponding bit in the WKPCL register to clear
the pending bit in the WKPND register.
4. Set the same WKENA bit to re-enable the wake-up func-
tion.

14.0 Real-Time Timer and WATCHDOG
The Timing and WATCHDOG Module (TWM) generates the
clocks and interrupts used for timing periodic functions in the
system, and also provides Watchdog protection against soft-
ware errors. The module operates off the slow clock either
generated by the external 32kHz oscillator or from the pres-
caled high speed system clock. The maximum operating
clock frequency is 100kHz.
All counting activities of the module are based on the slow
clock (SLCLK). A prescaler counter divides this clock to make
a slower clock. The prescaler factor is defined by a 3-bit field
in the Timer and WATCHDOG Prescaler register, which se-
lects either 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 and the divide-by factor. Thus,
the prescaled clock period can be set to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32
times the slow clock period. The prescaled clock signal is
called T0IN.
The WATCHDOG is designed to detect program execution
errors. Once WATCHDOG operation is initiated, the software
must periodically write a specific value to a WATCHDOG reg-
ister. If the software fails to do so, a WATCHDOG error is trig-
gered, which resets the device.
14.2
TIMER T0 OPERATION
Timer T0 is a programmable 16-bit down counter that can be
used as the time base for real-time operations such as a pe-
riodic audible tick. It can also be used to drive the WATCH-
DOG circuit.
The TWM is flexible in allowing selection of a variety of clock
ratios and clock sources for the WATCHDOG circuit. Once
the software configures the TWM, it can lock the configura-
tion for a higher level of protection against erroneous soft-
ware action. Once locked, the TWM can be released only by
a device reset.
The timer starts counting from the value loaded into the
TWMT0 register and counts down on each rising edge of
T0IN. When the timer reaches zero, it is automatically reload-
ed from the TWMT0 register and continues counting down
from that value. Thus, the frequency of the timer is:

When the counter reaches zero, an internal timer signal
called T0OUT is set to 1 for one T0IN clock cycle. This signal
sets the TC bit in the TWMT0 Control and Status Register
(T0CSR). It also generates an interrupt called RTI (IRQ14) if
the interrupt is enabled by the T0CSR.T0INTE bit.
locking state of the TWCFG, TWCPR, TIMER0, T0CSR, and
WDCNT registers. A register that is locked cannot be read or
written. A write operation is ignored and a read operation re-
turns unpredictable results.
If the TWCFG register is itself locked, it remains locked until
the device is reset. Any other locked registers also remain
locked until the device is reset. This feature prevents a run-
away program from tampering with the programmed WATCH-
DOG function.
If the software loads TWMT0 with a new value, the timer uses
that value the next time that it reloads the 16-bit timer register
(in other words, after reaching zero). The software can restart
the timer at any time (on the very next edge of the T0IN clock)
by setting the Restart (RST) bit in the T0CSR register. The
T0CSR.RST bit is cleared automatically upon restart of the
16-bit timer.
14.3.2 Power Save Mode Operation
The Timer and WATCHDOG Module is active in both the
Power Save and Idle modes. The clocks and counters contin-
ue to operate normally in these modes. The WDSDM register
is accessible in the Power Save and Idle modes, but the other
TWM registers are accessible only in the Active mode.
Therefore, WATCHDOG servicing must be carried out using
the WDSDM register in the Power Save or Idle mode.
Note:
If the user wishes to switch to power save or idle mode
after setting T0CSR.RST, the user must wait for reset opera-
tion to complete before doing the switch.
14.3
WATCHDOG OPERATION
The WATCHDOG is an 8-bit down counter that operates on
the rising edge of a specified clock source. Upon reset, the
WATCHDOG is disabled; it does not count and no WATCH-
DOG signal is generated. A write to either the WATCHDOG
Count (WDCNT) register or the WATCHDOG Service Data
Match (WDSDM) register starts the counter. The WATCH-
DOG counter counts down from the value programmed in to
the WDCNT register. Once started, only a reset can stop the
WATCHDOG from operating.
In the Halt mode, the entire device is frozen, including the
Timer and WATCHDOG Module. Upon return to the Active
mode, operation of the module resumes at the point at which
it was stopped.
Note:
After a restart or WATCHDOG service through WD-
CNT, do not enter Power Save mode for a period equivalent
to 5 slow clock cycles.
14.4
TWM REGISTERS
The WATCHDOG can be programmed to use either T0OUT
or T0IN as its clock source (the output and input of Timer T0,
respectively). The TWCFG.WDCT0I bit controls this clock
selection.
The TWM registers controls the operation of the Timing and
WATCHDOG Module. There are six such registers:
— Timer and WATCHDOG Configuration Register
(TWCFG)
— Timer and WATCHDOG Clock Prescaler Register
(TWCP)
— TWM Timer 0 Register (TWMT0)
— TWMT0 Control and Status Register (T0CSR)
— WATCHDOG Count Register (WDCNT)
— WATCHDOG Service Data Match Register (WDSDM)
The software must periodically “service” the WATCHDOG.
There are two ways to service the WATCHDOG, the choice
depending on the programmed value of the WDSDME bit in
the Timer and WATCHDOG Configuration (TWCFG) register.
If TWCFG.WDSDME bit is cleared to 0, the WATCHDOG is
serviced by writing a value to the WDCNT register. The value
written to the register is reloaded into the WATCHDOG
counter. The counter then continues counting down from that
value.
The WDSDM register is accessible in both Active and Power
Save mode. The other TWM registers are accessible only in
Active mode.
If TWCFG.WDSDME bit is set to 1, the WATCHDOG is ser-
viced by writing the value 5C hex to the WATCHDOG Service
Data Match (WDSDM) register. This reloads the WATCH-
DOG counter with the value previously programmed into the
WDCNT register. The counter then continues counting down
from that value.
14.4.1 Timer and WATCHDOG Configuration Register
(TWCFG)
The TWCFG register is a byte-wide, read/write register that
selects the WATCHDOG clock input and service method, and
also allows the WATCHDOG registers to be selectively
locked. Once a bit is set, that bit cannot be cleared until the
device resets. Upon reset, the non-reserved bits of the regis-
ter are all cleared to 0. The register format is shown below.
A WATCHDOG error signal is generated by any of the follow-
ing events:

TWCFG register remains in effect until the de-
vice is reset.

14.3.1 Register Locking
The Timer and WATCHDOG Configuration (TWCFG) register

14.4.4 TWMT0 Control and Status Register (T0CSR)
The T0CSR register is a byte-wide, read/write register that
controls Timer T0 and shows its current status. Upon reset,
the non-reserved bits of the register are cleared to 0. The

DOG servicing is accomplished by writing the
value 5C hex to the WDSDM register.
TC
Terminal Count. This bit is set to 1 by the hard-
ware when the Timer T0 count reaches zero
and is cleared to 0 when the software reads the
T0CSR register. It is a read-only bit. Any data

WATCHDOG PROGRAMMING
PROCEDURE
The highest level of protection against software errors is
achieved by programming and then locking the WATCHDOG
registers and using the WDSDM register for servicing. This is
the procedure:
1. Write the desired values into the TWM Clock Prescaler
register (TWCP) and the TWM Timer 0 register
(TWMT0) to control the T0IN and T0OUT clock rates.
The frequency of T0IN can be programmed to any of six
frequencies ranging from 1/32*f
to f
. The fre-
SLCLK
SLCLK
quency of T0OUT is equal to the frequency of T0IN di-
vided by (1+PRESET), where PRESET is the value
written to the TWMT0 register.
2. Configure the WATCHDOG clock to use either T0IN or
T0OUT by setting or clearing the TWCFG.WDCT0I bit.
3. Write the initial value into the WDCNT register. This
starts operation of the WATCHDOG and specifies the
maximum allowed number of WATCHDOG clock cycles
between service operations.
4. Lock the WATCHDOG registers and enable the WATCH-
DOG Service Data Match Enable function by setting bits
0, 1, 2, 3, and 5 in the TWCFG register.
5. Service the WATCHDOG by periodically writing the val-
ue 5C hex to the WDSDM register at an appropriate rate.
Servicing must occur at least once per period pro-
grammed into the WDCNT register, but no more than
once in a single WATCHDOG input clock cycle.

15.0 Multi-Function Timer
The Multi-Function Timer (MFT16) module contains two in-
dependent timer/counter units called MFT1 and MFT2, each
containing a pair of 16-bit timer/counters. Each timer/counter
unit offers a choice of clock sources for operation and can be
configured to operate in any of the following modes:
The two timer units, MFT1 and MFT2, are identical in opera-
tion and separately programmable. Each timer unit uses two
I/O pins, called T1A and T1B (for Timer MFT1) or T2A and
T2B (for Timer MFT2). The timer I/O pins are alternate func-
tions of the Port F I/O pins.

vides one external event counter and one system timer
In the description of the timers, the lower-case letter “n” rep-

TIMER STRUCTURE

Figure 11 is a block diagram showing the internal structure of
each timer. There are two main functional blocks: a Timer/
Counter and Action block and a Clock Source block. The Tim-
er/Counter and Action block contains two separate timer/
counter units, called Timer/Counter I and Timer/Counter II (a
total of four timer/counter unit in both MFT1 and MFT2).

15.1.1 Timer/Counter Block
Counter Clock Source Select
The Timer/Counter block contains the following functional
blocks:
There are two clock source selectors that allow the software
to independently select the clock source for each of the two
16-bit counters from any one of the following sources:
— two 16-bit counters, Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1) and
Timer/Counter II (TnCNT2)
— two 16-bit reload/capture registers, TnCRA and
TnCRB
— control logic necessary to configure the timer to oper-
ate in any of the four operating modes
— interrupt control and I/O control logic
— no clock (which stops the counter)
— prescaled system clock
— external event count based on TnB
— pulse accumulate mode based on TnB
— slow clock (derived from the low-frequency oscillator or
divided from the high-speed oscillator)
In a power-saving mode that uses the low-frequency (32.768
kHz) clock as the system clock, the synchronization circuit re-
quires that the slow clock operate at no more than one-fourth
the speed of the 32.768 kHz system clock.
Prescaler
The 5-bit clock prescaler allows the software to run the timer
with a prescaled clock signal. The prescaler consists of a 5-
bit read/write prescaler register (TnPRSC) and a 5-bit down
counter. The system clock is divided by the value contained
in the prescaler register plus 1. Thus, the timer clock period
can be set to any value from 1 to 32 divisions of the system
clock period. The prescaler register and down counter are
both cleared upon reset.
15.1.2 Clock Source Block
The Clock Source block generates the signals used to clock
the two timer/counter registers. The internal structure of the
Clock Source block is shown in Figure 12.

Pulse Accumulate Mode
External Event Clock
The TnB I/O pin can be configured to operate as an external
event input clock for either of the two 16-bit counters. This in-
put can be programmed to detect either rising or falling edg-
es. The minimum pulse width of the external signal is one
system clock cycle. This means that the maximum frequency
at which the counter can run in this mode is one-half of the
system clock frequency. This clock source is not available in
the capture modes (modes 2 and 4) because the TnB pin is
used as one of the two capture inputs.
The counter can also be configured to count prescaler output
clock pulses when the TnB is high and not count when TnB
is low, as illustrated in Figure 13. The resulting count is an in-
dicator of the cumulative time that TnB is high. This is called
the “pulse accumulate” mode. In this mode, an AND gate
generates a clock signal for the counter whenever a prescaler
clock pulse is generated and TnB input is high. (The polarity
of the TnB signal is programmable, so the counter can count
when TnB is low rather than high.) The pulse accumulate
mode is not available in the capture modes (modes 2 and 4)
because the TnB pin is used as one of the two capture inputs.

not be maintained. However, the External Event Clock and
Pulse Accumulate Mode will still work, as long as the external
event pulses are at least the size of the whole slow-clock pe-
riod. Using the prescaled system clock will also work, but at
a much slower rate than the original system clock.
The slow clock is generated by the Dual Clock and Reset
(CLK2RES) module. The clock source is either the divided
fast clock or the external 32.768 kHz clock crystal (if available
and selected). The slow clock can be used as the clock
source for the two 16-bit counters. Because the slow clock
can be asynchronous to the system clock, a circuit is provid-
ed to synchronize the clock signal to the high-frequency sys-
tem clock before it is used for clocking the counters. The
synchronization circuit requires that the slow clock operate at
no more than one-fourth the speed of the system clock.
Some Power Save modes stops the system clock (the high-
frequency and/or low-frequency clock) completely. If the sys-
tem clock is stopped, the timer stops counting until the sys-
tem clock resumes operation.
I
n the Idle or Halt mode, the system clock stops completely,
which stops the operation of the timers. In that case, the tim-
ers stop counting until the system clock resumes operation.
Limitations in Low-Power Modes
The Power Save mode uses the low-frequency clock as the
system clock. In this mode, the slow clock cannot be used as
a clock source for the timers because both CLK and SLCLK
are driven then at the same frequency, and the 2:1 system-
clock to input clock ratio needed for the synchronization can-

15.2.1 Mode 1: Processor-Independent PWM
15.2
TIMER OPERATING MODES
Mode 1 is the Processor-Independent Pulse Width Modula-
tion (PWM) mode, which generates pulses of a specified
width and duty cycle, and which also provides a separate
general-purpose timer/counter.
Each timer/counter unit can be configured to operate in any
of the following modes:
— Processor-Independent Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) mode
Figure 14 is a block diagram of the Multi-Function Timer con-
figured to operate in Mode 1. Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1)
functions as the time base for the PWM timer. It counts down
at the clock rate selected for the counter. When an underflow
occurs, the timer register is reloaded alternately from the
TnCRA and TnCRB register, and counting proceeds down-
ward from the loaded value.
— Dual Input Capture mode
— Dual Independent Timer mode
— Single Input Capture and Single Timer mode
Upon reset, the timers are disabled. To configure and start
the timers, the software must write a set of values to the reg-
isters that control the timers. The registers are described in
Section 15.5.

On the first underflow, the timer is loaded from TnCRA, then
from TnCRB on the next underflow, then from TnCRA again
on the next underflow, and so on. Every time the counter is
stopped and restarted, it always obtains its first reload value
from TnCRA. This is true whether the timer is restarted upon
reset, after entering Mode 1 from another mode, or after
stopping and restarting the clock with the Timer/Counter I
clock selector.
termine the cause of each interrupt by looking at the TnAP-
ND and TnBPND flags, which are set by the hardware upon
each occurrence of a timer reload.
In Mode 1, Timer/Counter II (TnCNT2) can be used either as
a simple system timer, an external event counter, or a pulse
accumulate counter. The clock counts down using the clock
selected with the Timer/Counter II clock selector. It generates
an interrupt upon each underflow if the interrupt is enabled
with the TnDIEN bit.
The timer can be configured to toggle the TnA output bit upon
each underflow. This generates a clock signal on TnA with
the width and duty cycle determined by the values stored in
the TnCRA and TnCRB registers. This is a “processor-inde-
pendent” PWM clock because once the timer is set up, no
more action is required from the CPU to generate a continu-
ous PWM signal.
15.2.2 Mode 2: Dual Input Capture
Mode 2 is the Dual Input Capture mode, which measures the
elapsed time between occurrences of external events, and
which also provides a separate general-purpose timer/
counter.
Figure 15 is a block diagram of the Multi-Function Timer con-
figured to operate in Mode 2. The time base of the capture
timer depends on Timer/Counter I, which counts down using
the clock selected with the Timer/Counter I clock selector.
The timer can be configured to generate separate interrupts
upon reload from TnCRA and TnCRB. The interrupts can be
enabled or disabled under software control. The CPU can de-

pin transfers the timer contents to the TnCRB register. Each
input pin can be configured to sense either rising or falling
edges.

to determine the on-time and off-time and period of an exter-

with the TnDIEN bit.
Neither Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1) nor Timer/Counter II
(TnCNT2) can be configured to operate as an external event
counter or to operate in the pulse accumulate mode because
the TnB input is used as a capture input. Attempting to select
one of these configurations will cause one or both counters
to stop.
The values captured in the TnCRA register at different times
reflect the elapsed time between transitions on the TnA pin.
The same is true for the TnCRB register and the TnB pin. The
input signal on TnA or TnB must have a pulse width equal to
or greater than one system clock cycle.
15.2.3 Mode 3: Dual Independent Timer/Counter
Mode 3 is the Dual Independent Timer mode, which gener-
ates system timing signals or counts occurrences of external
events.
There are three separate interrupts associated with the cap-
ture timer, each with its own enable bit and pending flag. The
three interrupt events are reception of a transition on TnA, re-
ception of a transition on TnB, and underflow of the TnCNT1
counter. The enable bits for these events are TnAIEN, TnBI-
EN, and TnCIEN, respectively.
Figure 16 is a block diagram of the Multi-Function Timer con-
figured to operate in Mode 3. The timer is configured to oper-
ate as a dual independent system timer or dual external
event counter. In addition, Timer/Counter I can generate a
50% duty cycle PWM signal on the TnA pin. The TnB pin can
be used as an external event input or pulse accumulate input
and can be used as the clock source for either Timer/Counter
I or Timer/Counter II. Both counters can also be clocked by
the prescaled system clock.
In Mode 2, Timer/Counter II (TnCNT2) can be used as a sim-
ple system timer. The clock counts down using the clock se-
lected with the Timer/Counter II clock selector. It generates

Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1) counts down at the rate of the se-

register and counting proceeds down from the reloaded val-
ue. In addition, the TnA pin is toggled on each underflow if
this function is enabled by the TnAEN bit. The initial state of
the TnA pin is software-programmable. When the TnA pin is
toggled from low to high, it sets the TnCPND interrupt pend-
ing flag and also generates an interrupt if the interrupt is en-
abled by the TnAIEN bit.
ceeds down from the reloaded value. The TnA pin is toggled
on each underflow if this function is enabled by the TnAEN
bit. When the TnA pin is toggled from low to high, it sets the
TnCPND interrupt pending flag and also generates an inter-
rupt if the interrupt is enabled by the TnAIEN bit. A 50% duty
cycle PWM signal can be generated on TnA without any fur-
ther action from the CPU once the pulse train is initiated.
Timer/Counter II (TnCNT1) counts down at the rate of the se-
lected clock. The TnB pin functions as the capture input. A
transition received on TnB transfers the timer contents to the
TnCRB register. The input pin can be configured to sense ei-
ther rising or falling edges.
Because TnA toggles on every underflow, a 50% duty cycle
PWM signal can be generated on TnA without any further ac-
tion from the CPU once the pulse train is initiated.
Timer/Counter II (TnCNT2) counts down at the rate of the se-
lected clock. Upon underflow, it is reloaded from the TnCRB
register and counting proceeds down from the reloaded val-
ue. In addition, each underflow sets the TnDPND interrupt
pending flag and generates an interrupt if the interrupt is en-
abled by the TnDIEN bit.
The TnB input can be configured to preset the counter to
FFFF hex upon reception of a valid capture event. In this
case, the current value of the counter is transferred to the
capture register and then the counter is preset to FFFF hex.
The values captured in the TnCRB register at different times
reflect the elapsed time between transitions on the TnA pin.
The input signal on TnB must have a pulse width equal to or
greater than one system clock cycle.
15.2.4 Mode 4: Input Capture Plus Timer
Mode 4 is the Single Input Capture and Single Timer mode,
which provides one external event counter and one system
timer.
There are two separate interrupts associated with the cap-
ture timer, each with its own enable bit and pending flag. The
two interrupt events are reception of a transition on TnB and
underflow of the TnCNT2 counter. The enable bits for these
events are TnBIEN and TnDIEN, respectively.
Figure 17 is a block diagram of the Multi-Function Timer con-
figured to operate in Mode 4. This mode offers a combination
of Mode 3 and Mode 2 functions. Timer/Counter I is used as
a system timer as in Mode 3 and Timer/Counter II is used as
a capture timer as in Mode 2, but with a single input rather
than two inputs.
Neither Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1) nor Timer/Counter II
(TnCNT2) can be configured to operate as an external event
counter or to operate in the pulse accumulate mode because
the TnB input is used as a capture input. Attempting to select
one of these configurations will cause one or both counters
to stop. In this mode, Timer/Counter II must be enabled at all
times.
Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1) operates the same as in Mode 3.
It counts down at the rate of the selected clock. Upon under-
flow, it is reloaded from the TnCRA register and counting pro-

TIMER INTERRUPTS 15.4 TIMER I/O FUNCTIONS
Each Multi-Function Timer unit has four interrupt sources,
designated A, B, C, and D. Interrupt sources A, B, and C are
mapped into a single system interrupt called Timer Interrupt
I, while interrupt source D is mapped into a system interrupt
called Timer Interrupt II. Each of the four interrupt sources
has its own enable bit and pending flag. The enable flags are
named TnAIEN, TnBIEN, TnCIEN, and TnDIEN. The pend-
ing flags are named TnAPND, TnBPND, TnCPND, and TnD-
PND.
Each Multi-Function Timer unit uses two I/O pins, called T1A
and T1B (for Timer MFT1) or T2A and T2B (for Timer MFT2).
The function of each pin depends on the timer operating
mode and the TnAEN and TnBEN enable bits. Table 16
shows the functions of the pins in each operating mode, and
for each combination of enable bit settings.
When pin TnA is configured to operate as a PWM output
(TnAEN = 1), the state of the pin is toggled on each underflow
of the TnCNT1 counter. In this case, the initial value on the
pin is determined by the TnAOUT bit. For example, to start
with TnA high, the software should set the TnAOUT bit to 1
prior to enabling the timer clock. This option is available only
when the timer is configured to operate in Mode 1, 3, or 4 (in
For Multi-Function Timer unit MFT1, Timer Interrupts I and II
are system interrupts T1A and T1B (IRQ13 and IRQ12), re-
spectively. For Multi-Function Timer unit MFT2, Timer Inter-
rupts I and II are system interrupts T2A and T2B (IRQ11 and
IRQ10), respectively.

other words, when TnCRA is not used in Capture mode)
Table 15 shows the events that trigger interrupts A, B, C, and
D in each of the four operating modes. Note that some inter-
rupt sources are not used in some operating modes, as indi-
cated by the notation “N/A” (Not Applicable) in the table.

TIMER REGISTERS
The following CPU-accessible registers are used to control
the Multi-Function Timers:
15.5.3 Timer/Counter I Register (TnCNT1)
— Clock Prescaler Register (TnPRSC)
— Clock Unit Control Register (TnCKC)
— Timer/Counter I Register (TnCNT1)
— Timer/Counter II Register (TnCNT2)
— Reload/Capture A Register (TnCRA)
— Reload/Capture B Register (TnCRB)
— Timer Mode Control Register (TnCTRL)
— Timer Interrupt Control Register (TnICTL)
— Timer Interrupt Clear Register (TnICLR)
The Timer/Counter I (TnCNT1) register is a word-wide, read/
write register that holds the current count value for Timer/
Counter I. The register contents are not affected by a reset
and are unknown upon power-up.
15.5.4 Timer/Counter II Register (TnCNT2)
The Timer/Counter II (TnCNT2) register is a word-wide, read/
write register that holds the current count value for Timer/
Counter II. The register contents are not affected by a reset
and are unknown upon power-up.
15.5.1 Clock Prescaler Register (TnPRSC)
15.5.5 Reload/Capture A Register (TnCRA)
The Clock Prescaler (TnPRSC) register is a byte-wide, read/
write register that holds the current value of the 5-bit clock
prescaler (CLKPS). This register is cleared upon reset. The
register format is shown below.
The Reload/Capture A (TnCRA) register is a word-wide,
read/write register that holds the reload or capture value for
Timer/Counter I. The register contents are not affected by a
reset and are unknown upon power-up.

The Reload/Capture B (TnCRB) register is a word-wide,
read/write register that holds the reload or capture value for
Timer/Counter II. The register contents are not affected by a
reset and are unknown upon power-up.
CLKPS
Clock Prescaler. When the timer is configured
to use the prescaled clock, the system clock is
divided by CLKPS+1 to produce the timer
clock. Thus, the system clock divide-by factor
can range from 1 to 32.
15.5.7 Timer Mode Control Register (TnCTRL)
The Timer Mode Control (TnCTRL) register is a byte-wide,
read/write register that sets the operating mode of the timer/
counter and the TnA and TnB pins. This register is cleared
upon reset. The register format is shown below.
15.5.2 Clock Unit Control Register (TnCKC)
The Clock Unit Control (TnCKC) register is a byte-wide, read/
write register that selects the clock source for each timer/
counter. Selecting the clock source also starts the counter.
This register is cleared upon reset, which disables the timer/
counters. The register format is shown below.

for the timer/counter is disabled. This bit setting
has no effect in Mode 1 or Mode 3.
15.5.9 Timer Interrupt Clear Register (TnICLR)
The Timer Interrupt Clear (TnICLR) register is a byte-wide,
write-only register that allows the software to clear the TnAP-
ND, TnBPND, TnCPND, and TnDPND bits in the Timer Inter-
rupt Control (TnICTRL) register. The register format is shown

TnA pin is high; when cleared (0), the TnA pin
is low. The hardware sets and clears this bit,
but the software can also read or write this bit
at any time and thus control the state of the out-
put pin. In case of conflict, a software write has
precedence over a hardware update. This bit
setting has no effect when TnA is used as an

16.0 Versatile-Timer-Unit (VTU)
•
•
The Versatile Timer Unit (VTU) contains four fully indepen-
dent 16-bit timer subsystems. Each timer subsystem can op-
erate either as dual 8-bit PWM timers, as a single 16-bit PWM
timer, or as a 16-bit counter with 2 input capture channels.
These timer subsystems offers an 8-bit clock prescaler to ac-
commodate a wide range of system frequencies.
The Versatile-Timer-Unit controls a total of eight I/O pins,
each of which can function as either:
— PWM output with programmable output polarity
— Capture input with programmable event detection and
timer reset
A flexible interrupt scheme with
— four separate system level interrupt requests
— a total of 16 interrupt sources each with a separate in-
terrupt pending flag and interrupt enable bit

— Four fully independent 16-bit PWM channels
— Eight 16-bit input capture channels
The VTU consists of four timer subsystems, each of which
contains:
The Versatile-Timer-Unit (VTU) is comprised of four timer
subsystems. Each timer subsystem contains an 8-bit clock
prescaler, a 16-bit up-counter and two 16-bit registers. Each
timer subsystem controls two I/O pins which either function
as PWM outputs or capture inputs depending on the mode of
operation. There are four system level interrupt requests, one
for each timer subsystem. Each system level interrupt re-
quest is controlled by four interrupt pending flags with asso-
ciated enable/disable bits. All four timer subsystems are fully
independent and each may operate as a dual 8-bit PWM tim-
er, a 16-bit PWM timer or as a dual 16-bit capture timer. Fig-
ure 18 illustrates the main elements of the Versatile-Timer-
Unit (VTU).
— a 16-bit counter
— two 16-bit capture / compare registers
— an 8-bit fully programmable clock prescaler
Each of the four timer subsystems can operate in the fol-
lowing modes:
— low power mode, i.e. all clocks are stopped
— dual 8-bit PWM mode
— 16-bit PWM mode
— dual 16-bit input capture mode

16.1.1 Dual 8-bit PWM Mode

value of the PERCAPx register. The TIOx output starts at the
default value as pro-grammed via the IOxCTL.PxPOL bit.

Each timer subsystem may be configured to generate two ful-
ly independent PWM waveforms on the respective TIOx pins.
In this mode, the counter COUNTx is split and operates as
two independent 8-bit counters. Each counter increments at
the rate determined by the clock prescaler.

Each of the two 8-bit counters may be started and stopped

mented.

The duty cycle of the PWM output waveform is controlled by
the DTYCAPx register value. Once the counter value reach-
es the value of the duty cycle register DTYCAPx, the PWM
output TIOx changes back to its default value upon the next
counter increment. Figure 19 illustrates this concept.

The period time is determined by the following formula:
register while either of the two PWM channels is enabled, the
new value will not take effect until the counter value matches
the previous period value or the timer is stopped.
PWMperiod = (PERCAPx + 1) * (CxPRSC + 1) * T

Reading the PERCAPx or DTYCAPx register will always re-
turn the most recent value written to it.
DutyCycle[%] = (DTYCAPx / (PERCAPx+1)) *100
If the duty cycle register (DTYCAPx) holds a value which is
greater then the value held in the period register (PERCAPx)
the TIOx output will remain at the opposite of its default value
which corresponds to a duty cycle of 100%. If the duty cycle

16.1.2 16-Bit PWM Mode
Starting the counter is identical to the 16-bit PWM mode, i.e.
setting the lower of the two MODE.TxRUN bits will start the
counter and the clock prescaler. In addition, the capture
event inputs are enabled once the MODE.TxRUN bit is set.
Each of the four timer subsystems may be independently
configured to provide a single 16-bit PWM channel. In this
case the lower and upper bytes of the counter are concate-
nated to form a single 16-bit counter.
The TIOx capture inputs can be independently configured to
detect a capture event on either a positive transition, a nega-
tive transition or both a positive and a negative transition. In
addition, any capture event may be used to reset the counter
COUNTx and the clock prescaler counter. This avoids the
need for the user software to keep track of timer overflow con-
ditions and greatly simplifies the direct frequency and duty
cycle measurement of an external signal.
Operation in 16-bit PWM mode is conceptually identical to
the dual 8-bit PWM operation as outlined under Dual 8-bit
PWM Mode on page 59. The 16-bit timer may be started or
stopped with the lower MODE.TxRUN bit, i.e. T1RUN for tim-
er subsystem 1.

In case a timer subsystem is not used, the user can place it
in a low-power-mode. All clocks to a timer subsystem are
stopped and the counter and prescaler contents are frozen
once low-power-mode is entered. The user may continue to
write to the MODE, INTCTL, IOxCTL and CLKxPS registers.
Write operations to the INTPND register are allowed; but if a
timer subsystem is in low power mode, its associated inter-
rupt pending bits cannot be cleared. The user cannot write to
the COUNTx, PERCAPx and DTYCAPx registers of a timer
subsystem while it is in low-power-mode. All registers can be
read at any time.

Each of the timer pending flags - IxAPD through IxDPD - is
set by a specific hardware event depending on the mode of
operation, i.e., PWM or Capture mode. Table 17 outlines the
specific hardware events relative to the operation mode
which cause an interrupt pending flag to be set.

VTU REGISTERS
The VTU supports breakpoint operation of the In-System-
Emulator (ISE). If FREEZE is asserted, all timer counter
clocks will be inhibited and the current value of the timer reg-
isters will be frozen; in capture mode, all further capture
events are disabled. Once FREEZE becomes inactive,
counting will resume from the previous value and the capture
input events are re-enabled.
The Versatile-Timer-Unit contains a total of 19 user accessi-
ble registers. All registers are word-wide and are initialized to
a known value upon reset. All software accesses to the VTU
registers must be word accesses.

17.0 MICROWIRE/SPI
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a synchronous serial communications
protocol, originally implemented in National Semiconductor's
COPS™ and HPC™ families of microcontrollers to minimize
the number of connections, and therefore the cost, of com-
municating with peripherals.
The device has an enhanced MICROWIRE/SPI interface
module (MWSPI) that can communicate with all peripherals
that conform to MICROWIRE or Serial Peripheral Interface
(SPI) specifications. This enhanced MICROWIRE interface is
capable of operating as either a master or slave and in 8- or
16-bit mode. Figure 24 shows a typical enhanced MICROW-
IRE interface application.

Figure 24. MICROWIRE Interface
The enhanced MICROWIRE interface module includes the
following features:
In slave mode, an optional fourth signal (MCS) may be used
to enable the slave transmit. At any given time, only one slave
can respond to the master. Each slave device has its own
chip select signal (MCS) for this purpose.
— Programmable operation as a Master or Slave
— Programmable shift-clock frequency (master only)
— Programmable 8- or 16-bit mode of operation
— 8- or 16-bit serial I/O data shift register
— Two modes of clocking data
The MICROWIRE interface allows the device to operate ei-
ther as a master or slave transferring 8- or 16-bits of data.
This is configured via the MMNS bit.
— Serial clock can be low or high when idle
— 16-bit read buffer
— Busy flag, Read Buffer Full flag, and Overrun flag for
polling and as interrupt sources
Figure 25 shows a block diagram of the enhanced MICROW-
IRE serial interface in the device.
17.1.1 Shifting
— Supports multiple masters
The MICROWIRE interface is a full duplex transmitter/receiv-
er. A 16-bit shifter, which can be split into a low and high byte,
is used for both transmitting and receiving. In 8-bit mode, only
the lower 8-bits are used to transfer data. The transmitted
data is shifted out through MDODI pin (master mode) or MDI-
DO pin (slave mode), starting with the most significant bit. At
the same time, the received data is shifted in through MDIDO
pin (master mode) or MDODI pin (slave mode), also starting
with the most significant bit first.
— Maximum bit rate of 10M bits/second (master mode)
5M bits/second (slave mode) at 20MHz system clock
— Supports very low-end slaves with the Slave Ready
output
— Echo back enable/disable (Slave only)
17.1
MICROWIRE OPERATION
The MICROWIRE interface allows several devices to be con-
nected on one three-wire system. At any given time, one of
these devices operates as the master while all other devices
operate as slaves.
The shift in and shift out are controlled by the MSK clock. In
each clock cycle of MSK, one bit of data is transmitted/re-
ceived. The 16-bit shifter is accessible via the MWDAT regis-
ter. Reading the MWDAT register returns the value in the
read buffer. Writing to the MWDAT register updates the 16-bit
shifter.
The master device supplies the synchronous clock (MSK) for
the serial interface and initiates the data transfer. The slave
devices respond by sending (or receiving) the requested da-
ta. Each slave device uses the master’s clock for serially shift-
ing data out (or in), while the master shifts the data in (or out).
17.1.2 Reading
The enhanced MICROWIRE interface implements a double
buffer on read. As illustrated in Figure 25, the double read
buffer consists of the 16-bit shifter and a buffer, called the
read buffer.
The three-wire system includes: the serial data in signal
(MDIDO for master mode, MDODI for slave mode), the serial
data out signal (MDODI for master mode, MDIDO for slave
mode) and the serial clock (MSK).

Figure 25. MICROWIRE Block Diagram
The 16-bit shifter loads the read buffer with new data when
the data transfer sequence is completed and previous data in
the read buffer has been read. In master mode, an Overrun
error occurs when the read buffer is full, the 16-bit shifter is
full and a new data transfer sequence starts.
In the alternate mode, the output data is shifted out on the ris-
ing edge of MSK on the MDODI pin (master mode) or MDIDO
pin (slave mode). The input data, which is received via MDI-
DO pin (master mode) or MDODI pin (slave mode), is sam-
pled on the falling edge of MSK.
When 8-bit mode is selected, the lower byte of the shift reg-
ister is loaded into the lower byte of the read buffer and the
read buffer’s higher byte remains unchanged.
The clocking modes are selected with the MSKM bit. The
MIDL bit allows selection of the value of MSK when it is idle
(when there is no data being transferred). Various MSK clock
frequencies can be programmed via the MCDV bits. Figures
27, 28, 29, and 30 show the data transfer timing for the nor-
mal and the alternate modes with the MIDL bit equal to 0 and
equal to 1.
The “Receive Buffer Full” (MRBF) bit indicates if the MWDAT
register holds valid data. The MOVR bit indicates that an
overrun condition has occurred.
17.1.3 Writing
Note that when data is shifted out on MDODI (master mode)
or MDIDO (slave mode) on the leading edge of the MSK
clock, bit 14 (16-bit mode) is shifted out on the second lead-
ing edge of the MSK clock. When data are shifted out on
MDODI (master mode) or MDIDO (slave mode) on the trailing
edge of MSK, bit 14 (16-bit mode) is shifted out on the first
trailing edge of MSK.
The “MICROWIRE Busy” (MBSY) bit indicates whether the
MWDAT register can be written. All write operations to the
MWDAT register update the shifter while the data contained in
the read buffer is not affected. Undefined results will occur if
the MWDAT register is written to while the MBSY bit is set to 1.
17.1.4 Clocking Modes
17.2
MASTER MODE
Two clocking modes are supported: the normal mode and the
alternate mode.
In Master mode, the MSK pin is an output for the shift clock,
MSK. When data is written to the (MWnDAT register), eight
or sixteen MSK clocks, depending on the mode selected, are
In the normal mode, the output data, which is transmitted on
the MDODI pin (master mode) or the MDIDO pin (slave
mode), is clocked out on the falling edge of the shift clock
MSK. The input data, which is received via the MDIDO pin
(master mode) or the MDODI pin (slave mode), is sampled
on the rising edge of MSK.

If a new shift process starts before MWDAT was written, i.e.,
while MWDAT does not contain any valid data, and the “Echo
Enable” (MECH) bit is set to 1, the data received from MDODI
is transmitted on MDIDO in addition to being shifted to MW-
DAT. If the MECH bit is cleared to 0, the data transmitted on
MDIDO is the data held in the MWDAT register, regardless of
its validity. The master may negate the MCS signal to syn-
chronize the bit count between the master and the slave. In

— When an overrun condition occurs (MOVR is set to 1)
and the “Enable Interrupt on Overrun” bit is set
(MEIO=1). This usage is restricted to master mode.
Figure 30 illustrates the various interrupt capabilities of this
module.

MICROWIRE INTERFACE REGISTERS
The software interacts with the MICROWIRE interface by ac-
cessing the MICROWIRE registers. There are five such reg-
isters:
— MICROWIRE Data Register (MWDAT)
— MICROWIRE Control Register (MWCTL)
— MICROWIRE Status Register (MWSTAT)
17.5.1 MICROWIRE Data Register (MWDAT)
The MWDAT register is a word-wide, read/write register used
to transmit and receive data through the MDODI and MDIDO
pins. Figure 31 shows the hardware structure of the register.

mode. This bit should be written only when the
MICROWIRE interface is idle (MWSTAT.MB-
SY=0). The MECH bit is ignored in master
mode. The MWDAT register is valid from the
time the register has been written until the end
of the transfer.
In the echo back mode, MDODI is transmitted
(echoed back) on MDIDO if MWDAT does not
contain any valid data. With the echo back
function disabled, the data held in the MWDAT
register is transmitted on MDIDO, whether or
not the data is valid.
MICROWIRE Enable Interrupt on Overrun.
This bit enables or disables the overrun error
interrupt. When set to 1, an interrupt is gener-
ated when the Receive Overrun Error flag
(MWSTAT.MOVR) is set. Otherwise, no inter-
rupt is generated when an overrun error oc-
curs. This bit should only be enabled in master
mode.
MICROWIRE Enable Interrupt for Read. When
set to 1, an interrupt is generated when the
Read Buffer Full flag (MWSTAT.MRBF) is set.
Otherwise, no interrupt is generated when the
read buffer is full.
MICROWIRE Enable Interrupt for Write. When
set to 1, an interrupt is generated when the
Busy bit (MWSTAT.MBSY) is cleared, which in-
dicates that a data transfer sequence has been
completed and the read buffer is ready to re-
ceive the new data. Otherwise, no interrupt is
generated when the Busy bit is cleared.
MICROWIRE Clocking Mode. When cleared to
0, the device uses the normal clocking mode.
When set to 1, the device uses the alternate
clocking mode. In the normal mode, the output
data is clocked out on the falling edge of MSK

MOVR
MICROWIRE Receive Overrun Error. This bit,
when set to 1 in master mode, indicates that a
receive overrun error has occurred. This error
occurs when the read buffer is full, the 8-bit
shifter is full, and a new data transfer sequence
starts. This bit is undefined in slave mode.
The MOVR bit, once set, remains set until
cleared by the software. The software clears
this bit by writing a 1 to its bit position. Writing
a 0 to this bit position has no effect. No other
bits in the MWSTAT register are affected by a
write operation to the register.
MIDL
MICROWIRE Idle. This bit sets the value of the
MSK output when the MICROWIRE interface is
idle: 0 for low or 1 for high. This bit should be
changed only when the MICROWIRE interface
module is disabled (MEN=0) or when no bus
transaction is in progress (MWSTAT.MBSY=0).
MICROWIRE Clock Divider Value. This 7-bit
field specifies the divide-by factor used for gen-
erating the MSK shift clock from the system
clock. The divide-by factor is 2*(MCDV[6:0]+1).

MICROWIRE Busy. This bit, when set to 1, in-

bit is set to 1 on the first leading edge of MSK
when MCS is asserted or when the MWDAT

In both master and slave modes, this bit is
cleared to 0 when the MICROWIRE data trans-
fer sequence is completed and the read buffer
is ready to receive the new data; in other words,
when the previous data held in the read buffer
has already been read.
If the previous data in the read buffer has not
been read and a new data has been received
into the shift register, the MBSY will not be
cleared, as the transfer could not be complet-
ed. This is because the contents of the shift
register could not be copied into the read buff-
er.
MRBF
MICROWIRE Read Buffer Full. This bit, when
set to 1, indicates that the MICROWIRE read
buffer is full and ready to be read by the soft-
ware. It is set to 1 when the shifter loads the
read buffer, which occurs upon completion of a
transfer sequence if the read buffer is empty.
The MRBF bit is updated when the MWDAT
register is read. At that time, the MRBF bit is
cleared to 0 if the shifter does not contain any
new data (in other words, the shifter is not re-
ceiving data or has not yet received a full byte

18.0 USART
The USART module is a full-duplex Universal Synchronous/
Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter that supports a wide
range of software-programmable baud rates and data for-
mats. It handles automatic parity generation and several er-
ror detection schemes. There are one or two independent
USART modules in each device, depending on the package
type.
stage based on the programmed baud rate divisor to create
the baud rate clock.
The Control and Error Detection block contains the USART
control registers, control logic, error detection circuit, parity
generator/checker, and interrupt generation logic. The con-
trol registers and control logic determine the data format,
mode of operation, clock source, and type of parity used. The
error detection circuit generates parity bits and checks for
parity, framing, and overrun errors.
Each USART module offers the following features:
— Full-duplex double-buffered receiver/transmitter
— Synchronous or asynchronous operation

— Hardware parity generation for data transmission and

18.2.1 Asynchronous Mode
The asynchronous mode of the USART enables the device to
communicate with other devices using just two communica-
tion signals: transmit and receive.
In the asynchronous mode, the transmit shift register (TSFT)
and the transmit buffer (UnTBUF) double-buffer the data for
transmission. To transmit a character, a data byte is loaded in
the UnTBUF register. The data is then transferred to the
TSFT register. While the TSFT is shifting out the current
character (LSB first) on the TDXn pin, the UnTBUF register
is loaded by software with the next byte to be transmitted.
When TSFT finishes transmission of the last stop bit of the
current frame, the contents of UnTBUF are transferred to the
TSFT register and the Transmit Buffer Empty flag (UnTBE) is
set. The UnTBE flag is automatically reset by the USART
when the software loads a new character into the UnTBUF
register. During transmission, the UnXMIP bit is set high by
the USART. This bit is reset only after the USART has sent
the last stop bit of the current character and the UnTBUF reg-
ister is empty. The UnTBUF register is a read/write register.
The TSFT register is not user accessible.
— Interrupts on “transmit ready” and “receive ready” con-
ditions, separately enabled
— Software-controlled break transmission and detection
— Internal diagnostic capability
— Automatic detection of parity, framing, and overrun er-
rors
18.1
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
Figure 32 is a block diagram of the USART module showing
the basic functional units in the USART:
— Transmitter
— Receiver
— Baud Rate Generator
— Control and Error Detection
Note:
In the description of the USART, the lower-case letter
“n” represents the USART number. For example, TDXn
means TDX1 or TDX2.
In asynchronous mode, the input frequency to the USART is
16 times the baud rate. In other words, there are 16 clock cy-
cles per bit time. In asynchronous mode the baud rate gen-
erator is always the USART clock source.
The Transmitter block consists of an 8-bit transmit shift regis-
ter and an 8-bit transmit buffer. Data bytes are loaded in par-
allel from the buffer into the shift register and then shifted out
serially on the TDXn pin.
The receive shift register (RSFT) and the receive buffer (Un-
RBUF) double buffer the data being received. The USART re-
ceiver continuously monitors the signal on the RDXn pin for
a low level to detect the beginning of a start bit. Upon sensing
this low level, the USART waits for seven input clock cycles
and samples again three times. If all three samples still indi-
cate a valid low, then the receiver considers this to be a valid
start bit, and the remaining bits in the character frame are
each sampled three times, around the mid-bit position. For
any bit following the start bit, the logic value is found by ma-
jority voting, i.e. the two samples with the same value define
the value of the data bit. Figure 33 illustrates the process of
start bit detection and bit sampling.
The Receiver block consists of an 8-bit receive shift register
and an 8-bit receive buffer. Data is received serially on the
RDXn pin and shifted into the shift register. Once eight bits
have been received, the contents of the shift register are
transferred in parallel to the receive buffer.
The Transmitter and Receiver blocks both contain extensions
for 9-bit data transfers, as required by the 9-bit and loopback
operating modes.
The Baud Rate Generator generates the clock for the syn-
chronous and asynchronous operating modes. It consists of
two registers and a two-stage counter. The registers are used
to specify a prescaler value and a baud rate divisor. The first
stage of the counter divides the USART clock based on the
value of the programmed prescaler to create a slower clock.
The second stage of the counter divides the output of the first
Serial data input on the RDXn pin is shifted into the RSFT
register. Upon receiving the complete character, the contents
of the RSFT register are copied into the UnRBUF register
and the Receive Buffer Full flag (UnRBF) is set. The UnRBF
71

flag is automatically reset when software reads the character
from the UnRBUF register. The RSFT register is not user ac-
cessible.

Figure 33. USART Asynchronous Communication
18.2.2 Synchronous Mode
Data bytes are transmitted and received least significant bit
(LSB) first.
The synchronous mode of the USART enables the device to
communicate with other devices using three communication
signals: transmit, receive, and clock. In this mode, data bits
are transferred synchronously with the USART clock signal.
Data bits are transmitted on the rising edges and received on
the falling edges of the clock signal, as shown in Figure 34.
In the synchronous mode, the transmit shift register (TSFT)
and the transmit buffer (UnTBUF) double-buffer the data for
transmission. To transmit a character, a data byte is loaded in
the UnTBUF register. The data is then transferred to the
TSFT register. The TSFT register shifts out one bit of the cur-
rent character, LSB first, on each rising edge of the clock.

to the receive buffer. The UnRBF flag is set and an interrupt
(if enabled) is generated. The UnATN bit is automatically re-
set to zero, and the USART begins receiving all subsequent
characters. The software must examine the contents of the
UnRBUF register and respond by accepting the subsequent
characters (by leaving the UnATN bit reset) or waiting for the
next address character (by setting the UnATN bit again).
CKX
TDX
RDX
The operation of the USART transmitter is not affected by the
selection of this mode. The value of the ninth bit to be trans-
mitted is programmed by setting or clearing a bit called
UnXB9 in the USART Frame Select register. The value of the
ninth bit received is read from UnRB9 in the USART Status
Register.
Sample Input
18.2.4 Diagnostic Mode
The Diagnostic mode is available for testing of the USART. In
this mode, the TDXn and RDXn pins are internally connected
together, and data that is shifted out of the transmit shift reg-
ister is immediately transferred to the receive shift register.
This mode supports only the 9-bit data format with no parity.
The number of start and stop bits is programmable.
Figure 34. USART Synchronous Communication
While the TSFT is shifting out the current character on the
TDXn pin, the UnTBUF register may be loaded by the soft-
ware with the next byte to be transmitted. When the TSFT fin-
ishes transmission of the last stop bit within the current
frame, the contents of UnTBUF are transferred to the TSFT
register and the Transmit Buffer Empty flag (UnTBE) is set.
The UnTBE flag is automatically reset by the USART when
the software loads a new character into the UnTBUF register.
During transmission, the UnXMIP bit is set high by the
USART. This bit is reset only after the USART has sent the
last frame bit of the current character and the UnTBUF regis-
ter is empty.
18.2.5 Frame Format Selection
The format shown in Figure 35 consists of a start bit, seven
data bits (excluding parity), and one or two stop bits. If parity
bit generation is enabled by setting the UnPEN bit, a parity bit
is generated and transmitted following the seven data bits.

The receive shift register (RSFT) and the receive buffer
(UnRBUF) double-buffer the data being received. Serial data
received on the RDXn pin is shifted into the RSFT register at
the first falling edge of the clock. Each subsequent falling
edge of the clock causes an additional bit to be shifted into
the RSFT register. The USART assumes a complete charac-
ter has been received after the correct number of rising edg-
es on CKXn (based on the selected frame format) have been
detected. Upon receiving a complete character, the contents
of the RSFT register are copied into the UnRBUF register
and the Receive Buffer Full flag (UnRBF) is set. The UnRBF
flag is automatically reset when the software reads the char-
acter from the UnRBUF register.

The transmitter and receiver may be clocked from either an
external source provided to the CKXn pin or by the internal
baud rate generator. In the latter case, the clock signal is

characters are sent on the network: address characters con-
sisting of 8 address bits and a 1 in the ninth bit position and
data characters consisting of 8 data bits and a 0 in the ninth

A prescaler factor of zero corresponds to “no clock.” The “no
clock” condition is the USART power down mode, in which
the USART clock is turned off to reduce power consumption.
The application program should select the “no clock” condi-
tion before entering a new baud rate. Otherwise, it could
cause incorrect data to be received or transmitted. The
UnPSR register must contain a value other than zero when
an external clock is used at CKXn.
18.2.6 Baud Rate Generator
The Baud Rate Generator creates the basic baud clock from
the system clock. The system clock is passed through a two-
stage divider chain consisting of a 5-bit baud rate prescaler
(UnPSC) and an 11-bit baud rate divisor (UnDIV).
The relationship between the 5-bit prescaler select (UnPSC)
setting and the prescaler factors is shown in Table 19.
In asynchronous mode, the baud rate is calculated by:
SYS_CLK
BR = ------------------------------
(16 × N × P)
Table 19 Prescaler Factors
where BR is the baud rate, SYS_CLK is the system clock, N
is the value of the baud rate divisor + 1, and P is the prescaler
divide factor selected by the value in the UnPSR register.

The divide by 16 is performed because in the asynchronous

rate. In synchronous mode, the input clock to the USART
equals the baud rate.

A receive interrupt is generated on two conditions:
1. Both the UnRBF and UnERI bits are set. To remove this
interrupt, software must either disable the interrupt by

(thus clearing the UnRBF bit).
2. Both the UnERR and the UnEEI bits are set. To remove
this interrupt the software must either disable it by clear-
ing the UnEEI bit or read the UnSTAT register (thus
clearing the UnERR bit).

chain. The remaining bits of the baud rate divi-
sor are contained in the UnBAUD register.

up and are left unchanged by a reset operation. The register

The divisor value used is the 11-bit UnDIV val-
ue plus 1.
Parity is only generated or checked with the 7-bit and 8-bit
data formats. It is not generated or checked in the diagnostic
loopback mode, the attention mode, or in the normal mode
with the 9-bit data format. Parity generation and checking are
enabled and disabled via the PEN bit in the UnFRS register.

bit is automatically cleared to 0 by the hardware
when the UnSTAT register is read.
UnFE

ART fails to receive a valid stop bit at the end of
a frame. This bit is automatically cleared to 0 by
the hardware when the UnSTAT register is
read.
00 = odd parity
01 = even parity
10 = mark (0)
11 = space (1)
UnDOE
Data Overrun Error. This bit is set to 1 when a
new character is received and transferred to
the UnBUF register before the software has
read the previous character from UnBUF. This
bit is automatically cleared to 0 by the hardware
when the UnSTAT register is read.
When the USART is configured to transmit nine
data bits per frame, the parity bit is omitted and
the UnPSEL field is ignored.
UnPEN
Parity Enable. This bit enables (1) or disables
(0) parity bit generation and parity checking.
When the USART is configured to transmit nine
data bits per frame, there is no parity bit and the
UnPEN bit is ignored.
UnERR
UnBKD
Error Status Flag. This bit is set when a parity,
framing, or overrun error occurs (any time that
the UnPE, UnFE, or UnDOE bit is set). It is au-
tomatically cleared to 0 by the hardware when
the UnPE, UnFE, and UnDOE bits are all 0.
Break Detect. This bit is set to 1 when a line
break condition occurs. This condition is de-
tected if RDXn remains low for at least ten bit
times after a missing stop bit has been detect-
ed at the end of a frame.
The hardware automatically clears the UnBKD
bit upon read of the UnSTAT register, but only if
the break condition on RXDn no longer exists.
If reading the UnSTAT register does not clear
the UnBKD bit because the break is still active-
ly driven on the line, the hardware clears the bit
as soon as the break condition no longer exists
(when RXDn returns to a high level).
18.3.6 USART Mode Select Register (UnMDSL)
The USART Mode Select Register is a byte-wide, read/write
register that selects the clock source, synchronization mode,
attention mode, and line break generation. This register is

the reserved bits must be cleared to 0 for proper operation.

BAUD RATE CALCULATIONS
The USART baud rate is determined by the system clock fre-
quency and the values programmed into the UnPSR and Un-
BAUD registers. Unless the system clock frequency is an
exact multiple of the desired baud rate, there will be a small
amount of error in the resulting baud rate clock.
18.4.2 Baud Rate in Synchronous Mode
The equation for calculating the baud rate in synchronous
mode is:
SYS_CLK
BR = ---------------------------
(2 × N × P)
The method of baud rate calculation depends on whether the
USART is configured to operate in the asynchronous or syn-
chronous mode.
where BR is the baud rate, SYS_CLK is the system clock, N
is the value of the baud rate divisor + 1, and P is the prescaler
divide factor selected by the value in the UnPSR register.
18.4.1 Baud Rate in Asynchronous Mode
Use the same procedure to determine the values of N and P
as in the asynchronous mode. In this case, however, only in-
teger prescaler values are allowed.
The equation for calculating the baud rate in asynchronous
mode is:
SYS_CLK
BR = ------------------------------
(16 × N × P)
where BR is the baud rate, SYS_CLK is the system clock, N
is the value of the baud rate divisor + 1, and P is the prescaler
divide factor selected by the value in the UnPSR register.
Assuming a system clock of 5 MHz and a desired baud rate
of 9600, the NxP term according to the equation above is:
(5×106)
N × P = ---------------------------- = 32.552
(16 × 9600)
The NxP term is then divided by each Prescaler Factor from
Table 19 to obtain a value closest to an integer. The factor for
this example is 6.5.
32.552
N = --------------- = 5.008 (N = 5)
6.5
The baud rate register is programmed with a baud rate divi-
sor of 4 (N = baud rate divisor +1). This produces a baud
clock of:
(5×106)
BR = --------------------------------- = 9615.385
(16 × 5 × 6.5)
(9615.385 – 9600)
%error = -------------------------------------------- = 0.16

19.0 ACCESS.bus Interface
The ACCESS.bus interface module (ACB) is a two wire serial
interface compatible with the ACCESS.bus physical layer. It
permits easy interfacing to a wide range of low-cost memo-
ries and I/O devices, including: EEPROMs, SRAMs, timers,
A/D converters, D/A converters, clock chips and peripheral
drivers. It is also compatible with Intel’s SMBus and Philips’
I C bus. The module can be configured as a bus master or
slave, and can maintain bi-directional communications with
both multiple master and slave devices.

dition, while in power-down mode
Each data transaction is composed of a Start Condition, a
number of byte transfers (set by the software), and a Stop
Condition to terminate the transaction. Each byte is trans-
ferred with the most significant bit first, and after each byte (8
bits), an Acknowledge signal must follow.
— Optional internal pull-up on SDA and SCL pins
19.1
ACB PROTOCOL OVERVIEW
At each clock cycle, the slave can stall the master while it
handles the previous data, or prepares new data. This can be
done for each bit transferred or on a byte boundary by the
slave holding SCL low to extend the clock-low period. Typical-
ly, slaves extend the first clock cycle of a transfer if a byte read
has not yet been stored, or if the next byte to be transmitted
is not yet ready. Some microcontrollers with limited hardware
support for ACESS.bus extend the access after each bit, thus
allowing the software time to handle this bit.
The ACCESS.bus protocol uses a two-wire interface for bi-di-
rectional communications between the ICs connected to the
bus. The two interface lines are the Serial Data Line (SDA),
and the Serial Clock Line (SCL). These lines should be con-
nected to a positive supply, via a pull-up resistor, and remain
HIGH even when the bus is idle.
The ACCESS.bus protocol supports multiple master and
slave transmitters and receivers. Each IC has a unique ad-
dress and can operate as a transmitter or a receiver (though
some peripherals are only receivers).
Start and Stop
The ACCESS.bus master generates Start and Stop Condi-
tions (control codes). After a Start Condition is generated the
bus is considered busy and it retains this status until a certain
time after a Stop Condition is generated. A high-to-low tran-
sition of the data line (SDA) while the clock (SCL) is high in-
dicates a Start Condition. A low-to-high transition of the SDA
line while the SCL is high indicates a Stop Condition
(Figure 40).
During data transactions, the master device initiates the
transaction, generates the clock signal and terminates the
transaction. For example, when the ACB initiates a data
transaction with an attached ACCESS.bus compliant periph-
eral, the ACB becomes the master. When the peripheral re-
sponds and transmits data to the ACB, their master/slave
(data transaction initiator and clock generator) relationship is
unchanged, even though their transmitter/receiver functions
are reversed.
19.1.1 Data Transactions
SDA
SCL
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. Data is
sampled during the high state of the serial clock (SCL). Con-
sequently, throughout the clock’s high period, the data should
remain stable (see Figure 39). Any changes on the SDA line
during the high state of the SCL and in the middle of a trans-
action aborts the current transaction. New data should be
sent during the low SCL state. This protocol permits a single
data line to transfer both command/control information and
data using the synchronous serial clock.

Figure 40. Start and Stop Conditions
In addition to the first Start Condition, a repeated Start Con-
dition can be generated in the middle of a transaction. This
allows another device to be accessed, or a change in the di-
rection of the data transfer.
Acknowledge Cycle
The Acknowledge Cycle consists of two signals: the acknowl-
edge clock pulse the master sends with each byte trans-
www.national.com
78
ferred, and the acknowledge signal sent by the receiving
device (Figure 41).
The address is the first seven bits after a Start Condition. The
direction of the data transfer (R/W) depends on the bit sent
after the address — the eighth bit. A low-to-high transition
during a SCL high period indicates the Stop Condition, and
ends the transaction (Figure 43).

The master generates the acknowledge clock pulse on the
ninth clock pulse of the byte transfer. The transmitter releas-
es the SDA line (permits it to go high) to allow the receiver to
send the acknowledge signal. The receiver must pull down
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, thus sig-
nalling the correct reception of the last data byte, and its
readiness to receive the next byte. Figure 42 illustrates the
acknowledge cycle.
When the address is sent, each device in the system com-
pares this address with its own. If there is a match, the device
considers itself addressed and sends an acknowledge sig-
nal. Depending upon the state of the R/W bit (1:read,
0:write), the device acts as a transmitter or a receiver.
2
The I C bus protocol allows sending a general call address
to all slaves connected to the bus. The first byte sent speci-
fies the general call address (00 ) and the second byte
16
specifies the meaning of the general call (for example, “Write
slave address by software only”). Those slaves that require
the data acknowledge the call and become slave receivers;
the other slaves ignore the call.

Arbitration on the Bus
Acknowledgment
Multiple master devices on the bus, require arbitration be-
tween their conflicting bus-access demands. Control of the
bus is initially determined according to address bits and clock
cycle. If the masters are trying to address the same IC, data
comparisons determine the outcome of this arbitration. In
master mode, the device immediately aborts a transaction if
the value sampled on the SDA lines differs from the value
driven by the device. (Exceptions to this rule are SDA while
receiving data; in these cases the lines may be driven low by
the slave without causing an abort).

The master generates an acknowledge clock pulse after

nal after every byte received.
The SCL signal is monitored for clock synchronization pur-
pose and allow the slave to stall the bus. The actual clock pe-
riod will be the one set by the master with the longest clock
period or by the slave stall period. The clock high period is
determined by the master with the shortest clock high period.
There are two exceptions to the “acknowledge after every
byte” rule.
1. When the master is the receiver, it must indicate to the
transmitter an end of data by not-acknowledging (“nega-
tive acknowledge”) the last byte clocked out of the slave.
This “negative acknowledge” still includes the acknowl-
edge clock pulse (generated by the master), but the SDA
line is not pulled down.
2. When the receiver is full, otherwise occupied, or a prob-
lem has occurred, it sends a negative acknowledge to in-
dicate that it can not accept additional data bytes.
When an abort occurs during the address transmission, the
master that identify the conflict, give-up the bus and should
switch to slave mode and continue to sample SDA to see if it
is being addressed by the winning master on the AC-
CESS.bus.

ACB FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Addressing Transfer Formats
The ACB module provides the physical layer for an AC-
CESS.bus compliant serial interface. The module is config-
urable as either a master or slave device. As a slave device,
the ACB module may issue a request to become the bus
master.
Each device on the bus has a unique address. Before any
data is transmitted, the master transmits the address of the
slave being addressed. The slave device should send an ac-
knowledge signal on the SDA line, once it recognizes its ad-
dress.
79

19.2.1 Master Mode
6. Check that both ACBST.BER and ACBST.NEGACK are
cleared. If the ACBCTL1.INTEN bit is set, an interrupt is
generated when either ACBST.BER or ACBST.NEGACK
is set.
An ACCESS.bus transaction starts with a master device re-
questing bus mastership. It sends a Start Condition, followed
by the address of the device it wants to access. If this trans-
action is successfully completed, the software can assume
that the device has become the bus master.
Master Transmit
After becoming the bus master, the device can start transmit-
ting data on the ACCESS.bus.
For a device to become the bus master, the software should
perform the following steps:
To transmit a byte, the software should:
1. Set ACBCTL1.START, and configure ACBCTL1.INTEN
to the desired operation mode (Polling or Interrupt). This
causes the ACB to issue a Start Condition on the AC-
CESS.bus, as soon as the ACCESS.bus is free
(ACBCST.BB=0). It then stalls the bus by holding SCL
low.
2. If a bus conflict is detected, (i.e., some other device pulls
down the SCL signal before this device does), ACB-
ST.BER is set.
1. Check that the BER and NEGACK bits in ACBST are
cleared and ACBST.SDAST is set. Also, if
ACBCTL1.STASTRE is set, check that ACBST.STASTR
is cleared.
2. Write the data byte to be transmitted to the ACBSDA reg-
ister.
When the slave responds with a negative acknowledge, the
ACBST.NEGACK bit is set and the ACBST.SDAST bit re-
mains cleared. In this case, if ACBCTL1.INTEN is set, an in-
terrupt is sent to the core.
3. If there is no bus conflict, ACBST.MASTER and ACB-
ST.SDAST are set.
4. If ACBCTL1.INTEN is set, and either ACBST.BER or
ACBST.SDAST is set, an interrupt is sent to the ICU.
Master Receive
After becoming the bus master, the device can start receiving
data on the ACCESS.bus.
Sending the Address Byte
Once this device is the active master of the ACCESS.bus
(ACBST.MASTER is set), it can send the address on the bus.
To receive a byte, the software should:
1. Check that ACBST.SDAST is set and ACBST.BER is
cleared. Also, if ACBCTL1.STASTRE is set, check that
ACBST.STASTR is cleared.
2. Set the ACBCTL1.ACK bit to 1, if the next byte is the last
byte that should be read. This causes a negative ac-
knowledge to be sent.
The address sent should not be this device’s own address as
defined in ACBADDR.ADDR if ACBADDR.SAEN is set, nor
should it be the global call address if ACBST.GCMTCH is set.
To send the address byte use the following sequence:
1. Configure the ACBCTL1.INTEN bit according to the de-
sired operation mode. For a receive transaction where
the software wants only one byte of data, it should set
the ACBCTL1.ACK bit.
3. Read the data byte from the ACBSDA register.
Master Stop
A Stop Condition may be issued only when this device is the
active bus master (ACBST.MASTRER=1). To end a transac-
tion, set (1) ACBCTL1.STOP before clearing the current stall
flag (i.e., ACBST.SDAST, ACBST.NEGACK or ACBST.STAS-
TR). This causes the module to send a Stop Condition imme-
diately, and clear ACBCTL1.STOP.
If only an address needs to be sent, set (1) the
ACBCTL1.STASTRE bit.
2. Write the address byte (7-bit target device address), and
the direction bit, to the ACBSDA register. This causes
the module to generate a transaction. At the end of this
transaction, the acknowledge bit received is copied to
ACBST.NEGACK. During the transaction the SDA and
SCL lines are continuously checked for conflict with oth-
er devices. If a conflict is detected, the transaction is
aborted, ACBST.BER is set, and ACBST.MASTER is
cleared.
3. If ACBCTL1.STASTRE is set, and the transaction was
successfully completed (i.e., both ACBST.BER and
ACBST.NEGACK are cleared), ACBST.STASTR is set.
In this case, the ACB stalls any further ACCESS.bus op-
erations (i.e., holds SCL low). If ACBCTL1.INTE is set, it
also sends an interrupt to the core.
4. If the requested direction is transmit, and the start trans-
action was completed successfully (i.e., neither ACB-
ST.NEGACK nor ACBST.BER is set, and no other
master has accessed the device), ACBST.SDAST is set
to indicate that the module awaits attention.
5. If the requested direction is receive, the start transaction
was completed successfully and ACBCTL1.STASTRE is
cleared, the module starts receiving the first byte auto-
matically.
Master Bus Stall
The ACB module can stall the ACCESS.bus between trans-
fers while waiting for the core’s response. The ACCESS.bus
is stalled by holding the SCL signal low after the acknowl-
edge cycle. Note that this is interpreted as the beginning of
the following bus operation. The user must make sure that
the next operation is prepared before the flag that causes the
bus stall is cleared.
The flags that can cause a stall in master mode are:
— Negative acknowledge after sending a byte (ACBST-
NEGACK=1).
— ACBST.SDAST bit is set.
— If ACBCTL1.STASTRE=1, after a successful start
(ACBST.STASTR=1).
Repeated Start
A repeated start is performed when this device is already the
bus master (ACBST.MASTER is set). In this case the AC-
CESS.bus is stalled and the ACB is awaiting the core han-
dling due to: negative acknowledge (ACBST.NEGACK=1),
www.national.com
80
empty buffer (ACBST.SDAST=1) and/or a stop after start
(ACBST.STASTR=1).
ACBST.SDAST is set to indicate that the buffer is emp-
ty.
— If ACBCTL1.INTEN is set, an interrupt is generated if
both the INTEN and NMINTE bits in ACBCTL1 regis-
ters are set.
— The software then reads the ACBST.XMIT bit to identi-
fy the direction requested by the master device. It
clears the ACBST.NMATCH bit so future byte transfers
are identified as data bytes.
For a repeated start:
— Set the ACBCTL1.START bit.
— In master receive mode, read the last data item from
ACBSDA.
— Follow the address send sequence, as described in
“Sending the Address Byte” on page 80.
— If the ACB was awaiting handling due to ACBST.STAS-
TR=1, clear it only after writing the requested address
and direction to ACBSDA.
Slave Receive and Transmit
Slave Receive and Transmit are performed after a match is
detected and the data transfer direction is identified. After a
byte transfer the ACB extend the acknowledge clock until the
software reads or writes the ACBSDA register. The receive
and transmit sequence are identical to those used in the
master routine.
Master Error Detections
The ACB detects illegal Start or Stop Conditions (i.e., a Start
or Stop Condition within the data transfer, or the acknowl-
edge cycle) and a conflict on the data lines of the AC-
CESS.bus. If an illegal action is detected, BER is set, and the
MASTER mode is exited (MASTER is cleared).
Slave Bus Stall
When operating as a slave, this device stalls the AC-
CESS.bus by extending the first clock cycle of a transaction
in the following cases:
Bus Idle Error Recovery
When a request to become the active bus master or a restart
operation fails, the ACBST.BER bit is set to indicate the error.
In some cases, both this device and the other device may
identify the failure and leave the bus idle. In this case, the
start sequence may not be completed and the ACCESS.bus
may remain deadlocked forever.
— ACBST.SDAST is set.
— ACBST.NMATCH, and ACBCTL1.NMINTE are set.
Slave Error Detections
The ACB detects illegal Start and Stop Conditions on the AC-
CESS.bus (i.e., a Start or Stop Condition within the data
transfer or the acknowledge cycle). When an illegal Start or
Stop Condition is detected, the BER bit is set and MATCH
and GMATCH are cleared, setting the module to be an unad-
dressed slave.
To recover from deadlock, use the following sequence:
1. Clear the ACBST.BER bit and ACBCST.BB bit.
2. Wait for a time-out period to check that there is no other
active master on the bus (i.e., ACBCST.BB remains
cleared).
3. Disable, and re-enable the ACB to put it in the non-ad-
dressed slave mode.
Power Down
When this device is in Power Save, Idle, or Halt mode, the
ACB module is not active but retains its status. If the ACB is
enabled (ACBCTL2.ENABLE=1) on detection of a Start Con-
dition, a wake-up signal is issued to the MIWU module. Use
this signal to switch this device to Active mode.
4. At this point some of the slaves may not identify the bus
error. To recover, the ACB becomes the bus master by
issuing a Start Condition and sends an address field;
then issue a Stop Condition to synchronize all the
slaves.
The ACB module cannot check the address byte following the
start condition that has awaken this device for a match. The
ACB responds with a negative acknowledge, and the device
should re-send both the Start Condition and the address af-
ter this device has had time to wake up.
19.2.2 Slave Mode
A slave device waits in Idle mode for a master to initiate a bus
transaction. Whenever the ACB is enabled, and it is not act-
ing as a master (i.e., ACBST.MASTER is cleared), it acts as
a slave device.
Check that the ACBCST.BUSY bit is inactive before entering
Power Save, Idle or Halt mode. This guarantees that this de-
vice does not acknowledge an address sent, and stop re-
sponding later.
Once a Start Condition on the bus is detected, this device
checks whether the address sent by the current master
matches either:
— The ACBADDR.ADDR value if ACBADDR.SAEN is
set.
— The general call address if ACBCTL1.GCM is set.
19.2.3 SDA and SCL Pins Configuration
The SDA and SCL are open-drain signals. For more informa-
tion, see the I/O configuration section.
This match is checked even when ACBST.MASTER is set. If
a bus conflict (on SDA or SCL) is detected, ACBST.BER is
set, ACBST.MASTER is cleared and this device continues to
search the received message for a match.
19.2.4 ACB Clock Frequency Configuration
The ACB module permits the user to set the clock frequency
used for the ACCESS.bus clock. The clock is set by the
ACBCTL2.SCLFRQ field. This field determines the SCL
clock period used by this device. This clock low period may
be extended by stall periods initiated by the ACB module or
by another ACCESS.bus device. In case of a conflict with an-
other bus master, a shorter clock high period may be forced
by the other bus master until the conflict is resolved.
If an address match, or a global match, is detected:
— This device asserts its data pin during the acknowl-
edge cycle.
— The ACBCST.MATCH and ACBST.NMATCH bits are
set. If ACBST.XMIT is set (i.e., slave transmit mode),
81

cleared when the module is disabled. Writing 0
to NEGACK is ignored.
19.3
ACB REGISTERS
The ACCESS.bus Interface uses the following registers:
BER
Bus Error. BER is set by the hardware when a
Start or Stop Condition is detected during data
transfer (i.e., Start or Stop Condition during the
transfer of bits 2 through 8 and acknowledge
cycle), or when an arbitration problem is detect-
ed. Writing 1 to BER clears it. It is also cleared
when the module is disabled. Writing 0 to BER
is ignored.
SDA Status. When set, this bit indicates that
the SDA data register is waiting for data (trans-
mit - master or slave) or holds data that should
be read (receive - master or slave). This bit is
cleared when reading from the ACBSDA regis-
ter during a receive, or when written to during a
transmit. When ACBCTL1.START is set, read-
ing ACBSDA register does not clear SDAST.
This enables the ACB to send a repeated start
in master receive mode.
— ACB Serial Data Register (ACBSDA)
— ACB Status Register (ACBST)
— ACB Status Control Register (ACBCST)
— ACB Control 1 Register (ACBCTL1)
— ACB Control 2 Register (ACBCTL2)
— ACB Own Address Register (ACBADDR)
19.3.1 ACB Serial Data Register (ACBSDA)
SDAST
The ACB Serial Data Register (ACBSDA) is a byte-wide,
read/write shift register used to transmit and receive data.
The most significant bit is transmitted (received) first and the
least significant bit is transmitted (received) last. Reading or
writing to the ACBSDA register is allowed when ACB-
ST.SDAST is set; or for repeated starts after setting the
START bit. An attempt to access the register in other cases
produces unpredictable results.
7
0
SLVSTP
Slave Stop. If set, SLVSTP indicates that a Stop
Condition was detected after a slave transfer
(i.e., after a slave transfer in which MATCH or
GCMATCH is set). Writing 1 to SLVSTP clears
it. It is also cleared when the module is dis-
abled. Writing 0 to SLVSTP is ignored.

19.3.2 ACB Status Register (ACBST)
The ACB Status Register (ACBST) is a byte-wide, read-only

by pulling down the SCL line, and suspends
any other action on the bus (e.g., receives first
byte in master receive mode). In addition, if
ACBCTL1.INTEN is set, it also sends an inter-
rupt to the core. Writing 1 to STASTR clears it.
It is also cleared when the module is disabled.
Writing 0 to STASTR has no effect.
The BUSY bit is cleared by the completion of
any of the above states, and by disabling the
module. BUSY is a read only bit. It should al-
ways be written with 0.
BB
Bus Busy When set, BB indicates the bus is
busy. It is set when the bus is active (i.e., a low
level on either SDA or SCL), or by a Start Con-
dition. It is cleared when the module is dis-
abled, upon detection of a Stop Condition, or
when writing 1 to this bit. See “Usage Hints” on
page 84 for a description of the use of this bit.
This bit should be set when either SDA or SCL
are low. This should be done by sampling the
SDA and SCL lines continuously and, setting
the bit if one of them is low. The bit remains set
until cleared by a STOP condition or a one is
written to it.
NEGACK
Negative acknowledge. This bit is set by hard-
ware when a transmission is not acknowledged
on the ninth clock. (In this case SDAST is not
set.) Writing 1 to NEGACK clears it. It is also

SCL line during the process of error recovery.
When the SDA line is low, writing 1 to this bit
toggles the SCL line for one cycle. Writing 1 to
TGSCL when SDA is high is ignored. The bit is
cleared when the clock toggle is completed.
ACK
Acknowledge bit. When acting as a receiver
(slave or master), this bit holds the value this
device sends during the next acknowledge cy-
cle. Setting this bit to 1 instructs the transmit-
ting device to stop sending data, since the
receiver either does not need, or cannot re-
ceive, any more data. This bit is cleared after
the first acknowledge cycle.

USAGE HINTS
1. When the ACB is disabled the ACBCST.BB bit is cleared.
After enabling the ACB (ACBCTL2.ENABLE is set to 1)
in systems with more then one master, the bus may be
in the middle of a transaction with another device, which
is not reflected by BB.
There is a need to allow the ACB to synchronize to the
bus activity status before issuing a request to become
the bus master, to prevent bus errors. Thus, before issu-
ing a request to become the bus master for the first time,
the software should check that there is no activity on the
bus by checking the BB bit after the bus allowed time-out
period.
2. When waking up from power down, before checking
ACBCST.MATCH, use ACBCST.BUSY to make sure that
the address transaction is over.
3. The BB bit is intended to solve a deadlock in which two,
or more, devices detect a usage conflict on the bus and
both devices cease being bus masters at the same time.
In this situation, the BB bits of both devices are active
(because each deduces that there is another master
currently performing a transaction, while in fact no de-
vice is executing a transaction), and the bus would stay
locked until some device sends a ACBCTL1.STOP con-
dition.
The ACBCST.BB bit allows the software to monitor bus
usage, so it can avoid sending a STOP signal in the mid-
dle of the transaction of some other device on the bus.
This bit detects whether the bus remains unused over a
certain period, while the BB bit is set.

20.0 CR16CAN Module
•
The CR16CAN device contains a FULL-CAN class, CAN
(Controller Area Network) serial bus interface for low/high
speed applications. It supports the reception and transmis-
sion of extended frames with 29-bit identifier, standard
frames with 11-bit identifier, applications that require a high
speed (up to 1MBit/s), and a low speed CAN interface with
CAN master capability. The data transfer between CAN and
the CPU is established by 15 message buffers, which can be
individually configured as receive or transmit buffers. Every
message buffer includes a status/control register which pro-
vides information about its current status and capabilities to
configure the buffer. All message buffers are able to generate
an interrupt upon the reception of a valid frame or the suc-
cessful transmission of a frame. In addition, an interrupt on
bus errors can be generated.
Acceptance filtering
— two filtering capabilities: global acceptance mask & in-
dividual buffer identifiers
— one of the buffers uses an independent acceptance fil-
tering procedure
Programmable transmit priority
Interrupt capability
— one interrupt vector for all message buffers (receive/
transmit/error)
— each interrupt source can be enabled/disabled
16-bit counter with time stamp capability on successful re-
ception or transmission of a message
Power Save capabilities with programmable Wake-Up
over the CAN bus (alternate source for the Multi-Input
Wake-Up module)

— loopback and listen-only features for test and initializa-
tion purposes
An incoming message is only accepted if the message iden-
tifier passes one of two acceptance filtering masks. The filter-
ing mask can be configured to receive a single message ID
per buffer or a group of IDs per receive buffer. One of the buff-
ers uses a separate message filtering procedure. This pro-
vides the capability to establish a BASIC-CAN path. Remote
transmission requests can be processed automatically by
automatic reconfiguration to a receiver after transmission or
by automated transmit scheduling upon reception. A priority
decoder allows any buffer to have one of 16 transmit priorities
including the highest or lowest absolute priority, totaling 240
different transmit priorities.
20.1
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
As shown in Figure 44, the CR16CAN module is separated
into three blocks: the CAN core, the interface management
and a dual ported RAM containing the message buffers.
There are two dedicated device pins for the CR16CAN inter-
face, CANTX as the transmit output and CANRX as the re-
ceive input.
A decided bit time counter (16-bit wide) is provided to support
real time applications. The contents of this counter is cap-
tured into the message buffer RAM upon reception or trans-
mission. The counter can be synchronized via the CAN
network. This synchronization feature allows a reset of the
counter after the reception or transmission of a message in
buffer 0.
The CAN Core implements the basic CAN protocol features
such as bit-stuffing, CRC calculation/checking and error
management. It controls the transceiver logic and creates er-
ror signals according to the bus rules. In addition, it converts
the data stream from the CPU (parallel data) to the serial
CAN bus data.
The CR16CAN is a fast core bus peripheral which allows sin-
gle cycle byte or word read/write access. The CPU controls
the CR16CAN by modifying the various registers in the
CR16CAN register block. This includes the initialization of
the CAN baud rate, the CAN pin logic level, and the enable/
disable of the CR16CAN. A set of diagnostic features, such
as loopback, listen only and error identification, support the
development with the CR16CAN module and provide a so-
phisticated error management tool.
The Interface Management is divided into the register block
and the interface management processor. The register block
provides the CAN Interface with control information from the
CPU and in turn provides the CPU with status information
from the CAN module. Additionally it generates the interrupt
to the CPU.
The interface management processor is a state machine ex-
ecuting the CPU’s transmission and reception commands
and controlling the data transfer between several message
buffers and RX/TX shift registers.
The CR16CAN implements the following features:
•
CAN specification 2.0B
Fifteen Message Buffers are memory mapped into RAM to
transmit/receive data via the CAN bus. Eight 16-bit registers
belong to each buffer. One of the registers contains control
and status information about the message buffer configura-
tion and the current state of the buffer. The other registers are
used for the message identifier, a maximum of up to eight
data bytes and the time stamp information. During the re-
ceive process the incoming message will be stored at first in
a hidden receive buffer until the message is valid. Then the
buffer contents will be copied into the first message buffer
which accepts the ID of the received message.
— standard data and remote frames
— extended data and remote frames
— 0 - 8 bytes data length
— programmable bit rate up to 1 Mbit/s
15 message buffers, each configurable as receive or
transmit buffers
— message buffers are 16-bit wide dual-port RAM
— one buffer may be used as BASIC-CAN path

Every CAN Frame is broadcasted on the common bus. Each
module receives every frame and filters out the frames which
are not required for the module's task. For example, if a dash-
board sends a request to switch on headlights, the CAN mod-
ule responsible for brake lights must not process this
message.
20.2
BASIC CAN CONCEPTS
This section provides a generic overview of the basic con-
cepts of the Controller Area Network (CAN).
The CAN protocol is a message based protocol that allows a
total of 2032 ( = 211-16) different messages in the standard
format and 512 million ( = 229-16) different messages in the
extended frame format.
A CAN master module has the ability to set a specific bit
called the “remote data request bit” (RTR) in a frame. Such a
www.national.com
86
message is also called “Remote Frame”. It causes another
module, either another master or a slave which accepts this
remote frame, to transmit a data frame after the remote frame
has been completed.
trolling processor. If any module cannot process information,
it can send an overload frame.
The CAN protocol allows several transmitting modules to
start a transmission at the same time as soon as they monitor
the bus to be idle. During the start of transmission, every
node monitors the bus line to detect whether its message is
overwritten by a message with a higher priority. As soon as a
transmitting module detects another module with a higher
priority accessing the bus, it stops transmitting its own frame
and switches to receive mode. For illustration, see Figure 45.
Additional modules can be added to an existing network with-
out a configuration change. These modules can either per-
form completely new functions requiring new data, or
process existing data to perform a new functionality.
As the CAN network is message oriented, a message can be
used as a variable which is automatically updated by the con-

a higher-prioritized data or remote frame, or if it is destroyed
by an error frame, the transmitting module will automatically
retransmit it until the transmission was successful or the user
has canceled the transmit request.
If a transmitted message loses arbitration, the CR16CAN will
restart transmission at the next possible time with the mes-
sage which has the highest internal transmit priority.

Frame Fields
Data and remote frames consist of the following different bit
fields:
Data and remote frames can be used in both standard and
extended frame format. If no message is being transmitted,
i.e., the bus is idle, the bus is kept at the ‘recessive’ level.
— Start of Frame
— Arbitration Field
— Control Field
— Data Field
— CRC Field
— ACK Field
Remote and data frames are non-return to zero (NRZ) coded
with bit-stuffing in every bit field, which holds computable in-
formation for the interface, i.e., start of frame, arbitration field,
control field, data field (if present) and CRC field.
— EOF Field
Error and overload frames are also NRZ coded but without
bit-stuffing.

no data field.
CRC field
The
consists of the CRC sequence followed by the
CRC delimiter. The CRC sequence is derived by the transmit-
ter from the modulo 2 division of the preceding bit fields,
starting with the SOF up to the end of the data field, excluding
stuff-bits, by the generator polynomial:
Arbitration field
The
consists of the identifier field and the
RTR (Remote Transmission Request) bit. For extended
frames there is also a SRR (Substitute Remote Request) and
a IDE (ID Extension) bit inserted between ID18 and ID17 of
the identifier field. The value of the RTR bit is 'dominant' in a
data frame and 'recessive' in a remote frame.

The remainder of this division is the CRC sequence transmit-
ted over the bus. On the receiver side, the module divides all
bit fields up to the CRC delimiter excluding stuff-bits, and
checks if the result is zero. This will then be interpreted as a
valid CRC. After the CRC sequence a single ‘recessive’ bit is
transmitted as the CRC delimiter.
Control field
The
consists of six bits. For standard frames it
starts with the ID Extension bit (IDE) and a reserved bit
(RB0). For extended frames the control field starts with two
reserved bits (RB1, RB0). These bits are followed by the 4-
bit Data Length Code (DLC).
The CR16CAN receiver accepts all possible combinations of
the reserved bits (RB1, RB0). The transmitter must be con-
figured to send only '0' bits.
ACK field
The
is two bits long and contains the ACK slot and
the ACK delimiter. The ACK slot is filled with a ‘recessive’ bit
by the transmitter. This bit is overwritten with a ‘dominant’ bit
by every receiver that has received a correct CRC sequence.
The second bit of the ACK field is a ‘recessive’ bit called the
acknowledge delimiter.
The DLC indicates the number of bytes in the data field. It
consists of four bits. The data field can be of length zero. The
admissible number of data bytes for a data frame ranges from
0 to 8.
End of Frame field

If a device is in the error active state, it can send a ‘dominant’
error flag, whereas a error passive device is only allowed to
transmit ‘recessive’ error flags. This is done to prevent the
CAN bus from getting stuck due to a local defect. For the var-
ious CAN device states, please refer to Error Detection and
Management on page 91.
Note that the DLC must have the same value as the corre-
sponding data frame to prevent contention on the bus. The
RTR bit is ‘recessive’.
Error Frame
As shown in Figure 48, the Error Frame consists of the error
flag and the error delimiter bit fields. The error flag field is built
up from the various error flags of the different nodes. There-
fore, its length may vary from a minimum of six bits up to a
maximum of twelve bits depending on when a module has
detected the error. Whenever a bit error, stuff error, form er-
ror, or acknowledgment error is detected by a node, this node
starts transmission of an error flag at the next bit. If a CRC

20.2.2 Error Detection and Management
There are multiple mechanisms in the CAN protocol to detect
errors and inhibit erroneous modules from disabling all bus
activities. Each CAN module includes two error counters, a
receive and a transmit error counter, for error management.
The device can be in one of four states with respect to error
handling (see Figure 51)
— Synchronize
Once the CR16CAN is enabled, it goes into a synchro-
nization state to synchronize with the bus by waiting for
11 consecutive recessive bits. After that the CR16CAN
becomes error active and can participate in the bus
communication. This state must also be entered after
waking-up the device via the Multi-Input Wake-Up fea-
ture. See System Start-Up and Multi-Input Wake-Up
on page 113.
Error Types
The following errors can be detected:
— Bit Error
A CAN device which is currently transmitting also mon-
itors the bus. If the monitored bit value is different from
the transmitted bit value, a bit error is detected. How-
ever, the reception of a ‘dominant’ bit instead of a ‘re-
cessive’ bit during the transmission of a passive error
flag, during the stuffed bit stream of the arbitration field
or during the acknowledge slot is not interpreted as a
bit error.
— Error active
An error active unit can participate in bus communica-
tion and may send an active (‘dominant’) error flag.
— Error Warning
The Error Warning state is a sub-state of Error Active
to indicate a heavily disturbed bus. The CR16CAN be-
haves as in Error Active mode. The device is reset into
the Error Active mode if the value of both counters is
less than 96.
— Stuff Error
A stuff error is detected if the bit level after 6 consecu-
tive bit times has not changed in a message field that
has to be coded according to the bit stuffing method.
— Form Error
— Error passive
A form error is detected, if a fixed frame bit (e.g., CRC
delimiter, ACK delimiter) does not have the specified
value. For a receiver, a ‘dominant’ bit during the last bit
of End of Frame does not constitute a frame error.
— Bit CRC Error
A CRC error is detected if the remainder of the CRC
calculation of a received CRC polynomial is non-zero.
— Acknowledgment Error
An error passive unit can participate in bus communi-
cation. However, if the unit detects an error it is not al-
lowed to send an active error flag. The unit sends only
a passive (‘recessive’) error flag. A device is error pas-
sive when the transmit error counter or the receive er-
ror counter is greater than 127. A device becoming
error passive will send an active error flag. An error
passive device becomes error active again when both
transmit and receive error counter are less than 128.
— Bus off
An acknowledgment error is detected whenever a
transmitting node does not get an acknowledgment
from any other node (i.e., when the transmitter does
not receive a ‘dominant’ bit during the ACK frame)
A unit that is bus off has the output drivers disabled,
i.e., it does not participate in any bus activity. A device
is bus off when the transmit error counter is greater
than 255. A bus off device will become error active
again after monitoring 128*11 ‘recessive’ bits (includ-
ing bus idle) on the bus. When the device goes from
‘bus off’ to ‘error active’, both error counters will have
the value ‘0’.

— A stuff error occurs during arbitration, when a transmit-
ted ‘recessive’ stuff bit is received as a ‘dominant’ bit.
This does not lead to an increment of the TEC.
— An ACK-error occurs in an error passive device and no
‘dominant’ bits are detected while sending the passive
error flag. This does not lead to an increment of the
TEC.
— If only one device is on the bus and this device trans-
mits a message, it will get no acknowledgment. This
will be detected as an error and the message will be re-
peated. When the device goes ‘error passive’ and de-
tects an acknowledge error, the TEC counter is not
incremented. Therefore the device will not go from ‘er-
20.2.3 Bit Time Logic
In the Bit Time Logic (BTL), the CAN bus speed and the Syn-
chronization Jump Width can be configured by the user.
CR16CAN divides a nominal bit time into three time seg-
ments: synchronization segment, time segment 1 (TSEG1)
and time segment 2 (TSEG2). Figure 52 shows the various
elements of a CAN bit time.
CAN Bit Time
The number of time quanta in a CAN bit (CAN Bit Time) lies
between 4 and 25. The sample point is positioned between
TSEG1 and TSEG2 and the transmission point is positioned
at the end of TSEG2.

sitioned by programming the length of time segments 1 and
2 (see Figure 52).
In addition to that, two types of synchronization are support-
ed. The BTL logic compares the incoming edge of a CAN bit
with the internal bit timing. The internal bit timing can be
adapted by either hard or soft synchronization (re-synchroni-
zation).
The time segment 2 represents the phase segment 2 as
specified in the CAN specification 2.0.B. The length of the
time segment 2 in time quantas (tq) is defined by the
TSEG2[3:0] bits.
Hard synchronization is done at the beginning of a new
frame with the falling edge on the bus while the bus is idle.
This is interpreted as the SOF. It restarts the internal logic.
The Synchronization Jump Width (SJW) defines the max-
imum number of time quanta (tq) by which a received CAN
bit can be shortened or lengthened in order to achieve re-
synchronization on ‘recessive’ to ‘dominant’ data transitions
on the bus. In the CR16CAN implementation the SJW has to
be configured less or equal to TSEG1 or TSEG2, whatever is
smaller.
Soft synchronization is used during the reception of a bit
stream to lengthen or shorten the internal bit time. Depend-
ing on the phase error (e), the time segment 1 may be in-
creased or the time segment 2 may be decreased by a
specific value, the re-synchronization jump width (SJW).
Synchronization
The phase error is given by the deviation of the edge to the
SYNC segment, measured in CAN clocks. The value of the
phase error is defined as:
A CAN device expects the transition of the data signal to be
within the synchronization segment of each CAN bit time.
This segment has the fixed length of one time quantum.
e = 0, if the edge occurs within the SYNC segment.
e > 0, if the edge occurs within TSEG1
e < 0, if the edge occurs within TSEG2 of the previous bit.
However, two CAN nodes never operate at exactly the same
clock rate and furthermore the bus signal may deviate from
the ideal waveform due to the physical conditions of the net-
work (bus length and load). In order to compensate for the
various delays within a network, the sample point can be po-
Re-synchronization is performed according to the following
rules:

If the magnitude of e is less or equal to the programmed
value of SJW, re-synchronization will have the same effect
as hard synchronization.
If e > SJW, the time segment 1 will be lengthened by the
value of the SJW (see Figure 53).
If e < -SJW, the time segment 2 will be shortened by the
value SJW (see Figure 54).

The acceptance filtering of incoming messages for buffer 14
is done via a separate filtering mask (BMASK) and by the
buffer ID of each that buffer.
20.3
MESSAGE TRANSFER
The CR16CAN has access to 15 independent message buff-
ers, memory mapped in RAM. Each message buffer consists
of 8 different 16-bit RAM locations and can be individually
configured as a receive message buffer or as a transmit mes-
sage buffer.
Once a received object is waiting in the hidden buffer (see
Receive Buffer Structure on page 97) to be copied into a buff-
er, CR16CAN scans all buffer configured as receive buffers
for a matching filtering mask. The buffers 0 to 13 are checked
in ascending order beginning with buffer 0. The contents of
the hidden buffer are copied into the first buffer with matching
filtering mask.
A dedicated acceptance filtering procedure enables the user
to configure each buffer to receive only a single message ID
or a group of messages. One buffer uses an independent fil-
tering procedure, which provides the possibility to establish a
BASIC-CAN path.
Bits holding a “1” in the global filtering mask (GMASK) can be
represented as a “don’t care” of the associated bit of each
buffer identifier, regardless of whether the buffer identifier bit
is “1” or “0”.
For reception of data frame or remote frames, the CR16CAN
follows a “receive on first match” rule which means that a giv-
en message is only received by one buffer — the first one
which matches to the received message ID.
This provides the capability to accept only a single ID per
buffer or to accept a group of IDs. The following two examples
illustrate the difference.
The transmission of a frame can be initiated by the user soft-
ware writing to the transmit status and priority register. An al-
ternate way to schedule a transmission is the automatic
answer to remote frames. In the latter case, the CR16CAN
will schedule every buffer for transmission to respond to re-
mote frames with a given identifier if the acceptance mask
matches. This implies that a single remote frame is able to
poll multiple matching buffers configured to respond to the
triggering remote transmission request.
Example 1: Acceptance of a Single Identifier
If the global mask is set to 00 the acceptance filtering of an
16
incoming message is only determined by the individual buffer
ID. This means that only one message ID is accepted per
buffer.

ACCEPTANCE FILTERING
Two 32-bit masks are used to filter unwanted messages from
the CAN bus GMASK and BMASK. Figure 56 shows the
mask and the buffers controlled by the masks.

The acceptance filtering of the incoming messages for the
buffers 0...13 is done by means of a global filtering mask
(GMASK) and by the buffer ID of each buffer.
Figure 58. Acceptance of a Group of Identifiers
95
www.national.com
A separate filtering path is used for buffer 14. For this buffer
the acceptance filtering is established by the buffer ID in con-
junction with the basic filtering mask. This basic mask uses
the same method as the global mask. Setting a bit to “1”
changes the associated bit in the buffer ID to a “don’t care”
bit.
CPU has read the data and has written RX_READY in the
buffer status field. With this lock function, the user has the ca-
pability to save several messages with the same identifier or
same identifier group into more than one buffer. For example,
a buffer with the second highest priority will receive a mes-
sage if the buffer with the highest priority has already re-
ceived a message and is now locked (provided that both
buffers use the same acceptance filtering mask).
Therefore the basic mask allows a large number of infrequent
messages to be received by this buffer.
As shown in Figure 59, several messages with the same ID
are received while BUFFLOCK is enabled. The filtering mask
of the buffers 0, 1, 13 and 14 is set to accept this message.
The first incoming frame will be received by buffer 0. As buffer
0 is now locked the next frame will be received by buffer 1,
and so on. If all matching receive buffers are full and locked,
a further incoming message will not be received by any buff-
er.
Note:
If the BMASK register is equal to the GMASK register,
the buffer 14 can be used the same way as the buffers 0 to
13.
The buffers 0 to 13 are scanned prior to buffer 14. Subse-
quently, the buffer 14 will not be checked for a matching ID
when one of the buffers 0 to 13 has already received an ob-
ject.
By setting the BUFFLOCK bit in the configuration register,
the receiving buffer is automatically locked after a reception
of one valid frame. The buffer will be unlocked again after the
received ID

RECEIVE STRUCTURE
All received frames will initially be buffered in a hidden re-
ceive buffer until the frame is valid. (The validation point for a
received message is the penultimate bit of EOF.) The re-
ceived identifier is then compared to every buffer ID together
with the respective mask and the status. As soon as the val-
idation point is reached, the whole contents of the hidden
buffer is copied into the matching message buffer as shown
in Figure 60.
Note:
The hidden receive buffer must not be accessed by
the CPU.
The following section gives an overview of the reception of
the different types of frames.
www.national.com
96
All contents of the hidden receive buffer are always copied
into the respective receive buffer. This includes the received
message ID as well as the received Data Length Code
(DLC); therefore when some mask bits are set to don’t care,
the ID field will get the received message ID which could be
different from the previous ID. The DLC of the receiving buffer
will be updated by the DLC of the received frame. Note that
the DLC of the received message is not compared with the
DLC already present in the CNSTAT register of the message
buffer. This implies that the DLC code of the CNSTAT register
indicates how may data bytes actually belong to the latest re-
ceived message.

The remote frames are handled by the CR16CAN interface
in two different ways. Firstly, remote frames can be received
like data frames by configuring the buffer to be RX_READY
and setting the ID bits including the RTR bit. In that case the
same procedure applies as described for Data Frames. Sec-
ondly, a remote frame can trigger one or more message buff-
er to transmit a data frame upon reception. This procedure is
described under To answer Remote Frames on page 99.
Buffer 14
BUFFER_ID
20.5.1 Receive Timing
As soon as CR16CAN receives a dominant bit on the CAN
bus, the receive process is started. The received ID and data
will be stored in the hidden receive buffer if the global or basic
acceptance filtering matches. After the reception of the data,
CR16CAN tries to match the buffer ID of buffer 0...14. The
data will be copied into the buffer after the reception of the 6th
EOF bit as a message is valid at this time. The copy process
of every frame, regardless of the length, takes at least 17 CKI
cycles (see also CPU Access to CR16CAN Registers/Mem-
ory on page 103). Figure 61 illustrates the receive timing.
Figure 60. Receive Buffer Structure
The received data frame will be stored in the first matching
receive buffer beginning with buffer 0. For example, if the
message is accepted by buffer 5, then at the time the mes-
sage will be copied, the RX request is cleared and CR16CAN
will not try to match the frame to any subsequent buffer.

Figure 61. Receive Timing
In order to indicate that a frame is waiting in the hidden buffer,
the BUSY bit ST[0] of the selected buffer is set during the
copy procedure. The BUSY bit will be cleared by CR16CAN
right after the data bytes are copied into the buffer. After the
copy process is finished, CR16CAN changes the status field
to RX_FULL. In turn the CPU should change the status field
to RX_READY when the data is processed. When a new ob-
ject has been received by the same buffer, before the CPU
changed the status to RX_READY, the CR16CAN will change
the status to RX_OVERRUN to indicate that at least one
frame has been overwritten by a new one. Table 21 summa-
rizes the current status and the resulting update from the
CR16CAN.

3. Configure the message buffer status as RX_READY.
In order to read the out of a received message, the CPU has
to execute the following steps (see Figure 62):
Interrupt Entry Point
The first step is only applicable if polling is used to get the sta-
tus of the receive buffer. It can be deleted for an interrupt driv-
en receive routine.
(optional, for information)
RX_OVERRUN?
1. Read the status (CNSTAT) of the receive buffer. If the
status is RX_READY, no was the message received, ex-
it. If the status is RX_BUSY, copy process from hidden
receive buffer is not completed yet, read CNSTAT again.
write RX_READY
read buffer (id/data/cntrl)
If a buffer is configured to RX_READY and its interrupt is
enabled, it will generate an interrupt as soon as the buff-
er has received a message and entered the RX_FULL
state (see also Interrupts on page 101). In that case the
procedure described below should be followed.
2. Read the status to determine if a new message has
overwritten the one originally received which triggered
the interrupt.
3. Write RX_READY into CNSTAT.
4. Read the ID/data and object control (DLC/RTR) from the
message buffer.
5. Read the buffer status again and check it is not
RX_BUSYx. If it is, repeat this step until RX_BUSYx has
gone away.

When the BUFFLOCK function is enabled (see BUFFLOCK
on page 96), it is not necessary to check for new messages
received during the read process from the buffer, as this buff-
er is locked after the reception of the first valid frame. A read
from a locked receive buffer can be performed as shown in
Figure 63.
After successful transmission CR16CAN will reset the buffer
status to TX_NOT_ACTIVE. When the transmission process
fails, the buffer condition will remain TX_BUSYx for re-trans-
mission until the frame was successfully transmitted or the
CPU has canceled the transmission request.
In order to Send a Remote Frame (Remote Transmission
Request) to other CAN nodes, the user needs to set the RTR
bit of the message identifier to “1” (see Storage of Remote
Messages on page 107) and change the status of the mes-
sage buffer to TX_ONCE. After this remote frame has been
transmitted successfully, this message buffer will automati-
cally enter the RX_READY state and is ready to receive the
appropriate answer. Note that the mask bits RTR/XRTR need
to be set to receive a data frame (RTR = 0) in a buffer which
was configured to transmit a remote frame (RTR = 1).
Interrupt Entry Point
read buffer (id/data/cntrl)
write RX_READY
clear RX_PND
To answer Remote Frames if the CPU writes TX_RTR in the
buffer status register, the buffer will wait for a remote frame.
When a remote frame passes the acceptance filtering mask
of one or more buffers, the buffer status will change to
TX_ONCE_RTR, the contents of the buffer will be transmit-
ted and afterwards CR16CAN will write TX_RTR in the status
code register again.
exit
If the CPU writes TX_ONCE_RTR in the buffer status, the
contents of the buffer will be transmitted, and the successful
transmission the buffer goes into the “wait for Remote Frame”
condition TX_RTR.
Figure 63. Buffer Read Routine (BUFFLOCK Enabled)
20.6.1 Transmit Scheduling
For simplicity only the applicable interrupt routine is shown:
After writing TX_ONCE in the buffer status, the transmission
process begins and the BUSY-bit is set. As soon as a buffer
gets the TX_BUSY status, the buffer is not accessible any-
more by the CPU except for the ST[3:1] bits of the CNSTAT
register. Starting with the beginning of the CRC field of the
current frame, CR16CAN looks for another buffer transmit re-
quest and selects the buffer with the highest priority for the
next transmission by changing the buffer state from
TX_ONCE to TX_BUSY. This transmit request can be can-
celed by the CPU or can be overwritten by another transmit
request of a buffer with a higher priority as long as the trans-
mission of the next frame has not yet started. This means
that between the beginning of the CRC field of the current
frame and the transmission start of the next frame, two buff-
ers, the current buffer and the buffer scheduled for the next
transmission, are in the BUSY status. In order to cancel the
transmit request of the next frame, the CPU has to change
the buffer state to TX_NOT_ACTIVE. When the transmit re-
quest has been overwritten by another request of a higher
priority buffer, CR16CAN changes the buffer state from
TX_BUSY to TX_ONCE. Thus, the transmit request remains
pending. Figure 64 further illustrates the transmit timing.
1. Read the ID/data and object control (DLC/RTR) from the
message buffer.
2. Write RX_READY into CNSTAT.
3. Clear interrupt pending bit and exit.
20.5.3 RX Buffer States
As shown in Figure 64, a receive procedure starts as soon as
the user has set the buffer from the RX_NOT_ACTIVE state
into the RX_READY state. The status section of CNSTAT reg-
ister is set from 0000 to 0010 . When a message is re-
2
2
ceived, the buffer will be RX_BUSYx during the copy
process from the hidden receive buffer into the message buff-
er. Afterwards this buffer is RX_FULL. Now the CPU can read
the buffer data and either reset the buffer status to
RX_READY or receive a new frame before the CPU reads
the buffer. In the second case, the buffer state will automati-
cally change to RX_OVERRUN to indicate that at least one
message was lost. During the copy process the buffer will
again be RX_BUSYx for a short time, but in this case the CN-
STAT status section will be 0101 , as the buffer was
2
RX_FULL (0100 ) before. After finally reading the last re-
2
ceived message, the CPU can reset the buffer to RX_READY.
If the transmit process fails or the arbitration is lost, the trans-
mission process will be stopped and will continue after the in-
terrupting reception or the error signaling has finished (see
Figure 65). In that case a new buffer select follows and the
TX process is executed again.
20.6
TRANSMIT STRUCTURE
In order to transmit a CAN message, the user has to config-
ure the message buffer by changing the buffer status to
TX_NOT_ACTIVE. The buffer is configured for transmission
if the ST[3] bit of the buffer status code (CNSTAT) is set to ‘1’.
In TX_NOT_ACTIVE status, the buffer is ready to receive
data from the CPU. After receiving all transmission data (ID,
data bytes, DLC and PRI), the CPU can start the transmis-
sion by writing TX_ONCE into the buffer status register. Dur-
ing the transmission the status of the buffer is TX_BUSYx.
Note: The canceled message can be delayed by a TX re-
quest of a buffer with a higher priority. During TX_BUSY high,
the user cannot change the contents of the message buffer
object. In all cases writing to the BUSY bit will be ignored.

20.6.2 Transmit Priority
Table 23 shows the transmit priority configuration if TXPRI is
different from the buffer number:
CR16CAN is able to generate a stream of scheduled mes-
sages without releasing the bus between two messages so
that an optimized performance can be achieved. It will arbi-
trate for the bus right after sending the previous message and
will only release the bus due to a lost arbitration.

TX Priority
If more than one buffer is scheduled for transmission, the pri-
ority is built by the message buffer number and the priority
code in the CNSTAT register. The 8-bit value of the priority is
combined by the 4-bit TXPRI value and the 4-bit buffer num-
ber (0...14) as shown below. The lowest resulting number re-
sults in the highest transmit priority.

20.6.3 Transmit Procedure
20.6.4 TX Buffer States
The transmission of a CAN message has to be executed as
follows (see also Figure 65)
The transmission process can be started after the user has
loaded the buffer registers (data, ID, DLC, PRI) and set the
buffer status from TX_NOT_ACTIVE to TX_ONCE, TX_RTR
or TX_ONCE_RTR.
1. Configure CNSTAT status field as TX_NOT_ACTIVE. If
the status is TX_BUSY, a previous transmit request is
still pending and the user has no access to the data con-
tents of the buffer. In that case the user may choose to
wait until the buffer becomes available again as shown.
Other options are to exit from the update routine until the
buffer has been transmitted with an interrupt generated,
or the transmission is aborted by an error.
When the CPU writes TX_ONCE, the buffer will be
TX_BUSY as soon as CR16CAN has scheduled this buffer
for the next transmission. After the frame could be success-
fully transmitted, the buffer status will be automatically reset
to TX_NOT_ACTIVE when a data frame was transmitted or
to RX_READY when a remote frame was transmitted.
2. Load buffer identifier & data registers. (For remote
frames the RTR bit of the identifier needs to be set and
loading data bytes can be omitted.)
3. Configure CNSTAT status field to the desired value:
— TX_ONCE to trigger the transmission process of a sin-
gle frame.
— TX_ONCE_RTR to trigger the transmission of a single
data frame and then wait for a received remote frame
to trigger consecutive data frames.
— TX_RTR waits for a remote frame to trigger the trans-
mission of a data frame.
If the CPU configures the message buffer to
TX_ONCE_RTR, it will transmit its data contents. During the
transmission the buffer state is 1111 as the CPU wrote
2
1110 into the status section of the CNSTAT register. After
2
the successful transmission the buffer enters the TX_RTR
state and waits for a remote frame. When it receives a remote
frame, it will go back into the TX_ONCE_RTR state, transmit
its data bytes and return to TX_RTR. If the CPU writes 1010
2
into the buffer status section, it will only enter the TX_RTR
state. But it will not send its data bytes before it waits for a re-
mote frame. Figure 66 illustrates the possible transmit buffer
states.
Writing TX_ONCE or TX_ONCE_RTR in the CNSTAT status
field will set the internal transmit request for the CR16CAN.
20.7
INTERRUPTS
If a buffer is configured as TX_RTR and a remote frame is re-
ceived, the data contents of the addressed buffer will be
transmitted automatically without further CPU activity.
CR16CAN has access to one interrupt vector in the CR16
CPU. The interrupt process can be initiated from the following
sources.
•
CAN data transfer
— Reception of a valid data frame in the buffer. (Buffer
state changes from RX_READY to RX_FULL or
RX_OVERRUN).
write_buffer
— Successful transmission of a data frame. (Buffer state
changes from TX_ONCE to TX_NOT_ACTIVE or
RX_READY)
write
TX_NOT_ACTIVE
— Successful response to a remote frame. (Buffer state
changes from TX_ONCE_RTR to TX_RTR).
— Transmit scheduling. (Buffer state changes from
TX_RTR to TX_ONCE_RTR).
Y

•
CAN error conditions is the detection of an CAN error.
(The CEIPND bit in the CIPND register will be set as well
as the corresponding bits in the error diagnostic register
CEDIAG).

The receive/transmit interrupt access to every message buff-

Each of the buffer interrupts as well as the error interrupt can
be individually enabled or disabled in the CAN Interrupt En-
able register (CIEN). As soon as an interrupt condition oc-
curs, every interrupt request is indicated by a flag in the CAN
Interrupt Pending register (CIPND). When the interrupt code
logic for the present highest priority interrupt request is en-
abled, this interrupt will be translated into the IST[3:0] bits of
the CAN Status Pending register (CSTPND). An interrupt re-
quest can be cleared by setting the corresponding bit in the
CAN Interrupt Clear register (CICLR) to ‘1’.

The timer can be synchronized over the CAN network by re-

case the TSTP register of buffer 0 captures the current
CTMR value during the ACK slot of a message (as above)
and afterwards the CTMR is reset to 0000 . Synchronization
can be enabled or disabled via the CGCR.TSTPEN bit.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
Buffer 8
CR16CAN occupies 144 words in the memory address
space. This space is separated into 15*8 + 8(reserved)
words for the message buffers and 14 + 2(reserved) words
for control and status.

20.9.1 CPU Access to CR16CAN Registers/Memory
All memory locations occupied by the message buffers are
shared by the CPU and CR16CAN (dual ported RAM). The
CR16CAN and the CPU normally have single cycle access
to this memory. However, if an access contention occurs, the
access to the memory is altered every cycle until the conten-
tion is resolved. This internal access arbitration is transpar-
ent to the user.
20.7.2 Usage Hints
The interrupt code IST[3:0] can be used within the interrupt
handler as a displacement in order to jump to the relevant
subroutine.
Both word and byte access to the buffer RAM are allowed. If
a buffer is busy during the reception of an object (copy pro-
cess from the hidden receive buffer) or is scheduled for trans-
mission, the CPU has no write access to the data contents of
the buffer. Write to the status/control byte and read access to
the whole buffer is always enabled.
The CAN Interrupt Code Enable (CICEN) register is used in
the CAN interrupt handler if the user wants to service all re-
ceive buffer interrupts first followed by all transmit buffer inter-
rupts. In this case, the user can first enable only all receive
buffer interrupts to be coded, scan and service all pending in-
terrupt requests in the order of their priority. Then, the user
changes the CICEN register to disable all receive buffers, but
enable all transmit buffers and service all pending transmit
buffer interrupt requests according to their priorities.
All configuration and status registers can either be accessed
by CR16CAN or the CPU only. These registers provide single
cycle word and byte access without any potential wait state.
All register descriptions within the next sections utilize the fol-
lowing layout:

20.9.2 Message Buffer Organization
each buffer consists of two words reserved for the identifiers,
4 words reserved for up to eight CAN data bytes, one word is
reserved for time stamp and one word for data length code,
transmit priority code and the buffer status code.
The message buffers are the communication interfaces be-
tween CAN and the CPU for the transmission and the recep-
tion of CAN frames. There are 15 message buffers located at
fixed addresses in the RAM location. As shown in Table 25,

20.9.3 Buffer Status/Control Register (CNSTAT)
CR16CAN sets this bit if the buffer data is cur-
rently copied from the hidden buffer or if a mes-
sage is scheduled for transmission or is
currently transmitting. The CR16CAN will al-
ways reset this bit on a status update.
Transmit Priority Code. The PRI[3:0] bits con-
tain the user defined transmit priority code for
the message buffer.
Data Length Code. The DLC[3:0] bits deter-
mine the number of data bytes within a re-
ceived/transmitted frame. For transmission,
these bits need to be set according to the num-
ber of data bytes to be transmitted. For recep-
tion, these bits indicate the number of valid
received data bytes available in the message
buffer. Table 27 shows the possible bit combi-
nations for DLC[3:0] for data lengths from 0 to
8 bytes.
The buffer status, the buffer priority and the data length code
are controlled by manipulating the contents of the Buffer Sta-
tus/Control Register (CNSTAT). CPU and CR16CAN have
access to this register.

When the BUSY bit is set, any write access to
the buffer is disabled with the exception of the
lower byte of the CNTSTAT register. The

are “don’t care” bits. A standard frame with eight data bytes
is shown in Table 28.
IDE
Identifier Extension. IDE is set to “0” to indicate
that the message is a standard frame using 11
identifier bits. If IDE is set to “1”, the object
stored in the buffer is handled as an extended

20.9.5 Storage of Messages with Less Than 8 Data
Bytes
20.9.6 Storage of Extended Messages
If the IDE bit is set to “1”, the buffer handles extended frames.
The storage of the extended ID follows the descriptions in
Table 29. The SRR bit is at the bit position of the RTR bit for
standard frame and needs to be transmitted as “1”.
The data bytes that are not used for data transfer are “don’t
cares”. If the object is transmitted, the data within these bytes
will be ignored. If the object is received, the data within these
bytes will be overwritten with invalid data.

BUFFLOC Buffer Lock. With this bit the user can configure
the buffer lock function. If this feature is en-
abled, a buffer will be locked upon a successful
frame reception. The buffer will be unlocked
again by writing RX_READY in the buffer status
register, i.e., after reading data.

Data Direction. By setting or resetting the DDIR
bit, the user can select the direction the data
bytes are transmitted and received. The
CR16CAN transmits and receives the CAN
data byte Data1 first and the data byte Data8
last (Data1, Data2,...,Data7, Data8).
If DDIR is set to “0” the data contents of a re-
ceived message is stored with the first byte at
the highest data address and the last data at
the lowest data address (see Figure 69). The
same applies for transmitted data.

its own sent messages without connecting an
external transceiver chip to the RX- and TX-
pin; it allows the user to run real stand-alone
tests without any peripheral devices.

identify the field within the CAN frame format, in which the er-
ror occurred, and it identifies the bit number of the erroneous
bit within the according frame field. The CPU has read only
access and all bits will be cleared upon reset.

EBID[5:0]
Error Bit Identifier. The EDIAG[9:4] bits contain
the number (position) of the incorrect bit within
the erroneous frame field. The bit number
starts with the value equal to the respective
frame field length minus one at the beginning of
each field and is decremented with each CAN
bit. Figure 71 shows an example on how the
EBID is calculated.

configuration register (CGCR) is set, the counter will also be
reset upon a message transfer of the message buffer 0.
As described in Time Stamp Counter on page 103, the con-
tents of CTMR are captured into the Time Stamp register of
the message buffer after successfully sending or receiving a
frame.

data bytes, the bit counter starts with the value: 8 x 8 - 1 = 63;

Note: The device can be awaken from a power saving mode
by an activity on the CAN bus by selecting the CAN RX pin
as an input to the Multi-Input Wake-Up module. In this case
the CR16CAN module must not be disabled before entering
the power saving mode. Disabling the CR16CAN module
also disables the CAN RX pin.
As an alternative, the CAN RX pin can be connected to any
other input pin of the Multi-Input Wake-Up module. This input
channel must then be configured to trigger a wake-up event
on a falling edge (if a dominant bit is represented by a low lev-
el). In this case the CR16CAN module can be disabled before
entering a power saving mode. After the device has been
waken up, the user has to manually enable the CR16CAN
again. All configuration and buffer registers still contain the
same data as prior to the power down phase.
63 - 57 = 6.
The following bits provide an information of the error type.
TXE
Transmit Error. If set, this bit indicates that the
CR16CAN was an active transmitter at the time
the error occurred. If reset, the CR16CAN was
a receiver.
Stuff Error. if set, this bit indicates that a the bit
stuffing rule was violated at the time the error
occurred. Note that certain bit fields do no use
bit stuffing and therefore this bit may be ignored
in those.
CRC Error. if set, this bit indicates that the CRC
is invalid. This bit should only be used if the
EFID shows the code of the ACK field.
Monitor. This bit shows the bus value on the
CANRX pin as seen by the CR16CAN at the
time of the error.
Drive. This bit shows the output value on the
CANTX pin at the time of the error. Note that a
receiver will not drive the bus except during
ACK and during an active error flag.

The following example assumes the worst case:
20.10.3 Timing Requirements
— minimum BTL settings
Processing messages and updating message buffers require
a certain number of clock cycles by CR16CAN as shown in
Table 39. These requirements may lead to some restrictions
regarding the Bit Time Logic settings and the overall
CR16CAN performance which are described below in more
detail.
— reception and copy of a remote frame
— update of the 14 remaining buffers from TX_RTR
— schedule of one buffer for transmit
All these actions in total require 17 + 14 x 3 + 2 = 61 clock
cycles to be executed by CR16CAN. This leads to the limita-
tion of the Bit Time Logic of 61 / 4 = 15.25 clock cycles per
CAN bit as a minimum, resulting in the minimum clock fre-
quencies listed below (the frequency depends on the desired
baud rate and assumes the worst case scenario can occur in
the application).

The critical path derives from receiving a remote frame which
triggers the transmission of one or more data frames. There
are a minimum of four bit times in-between two consecutive
frames. These bit times start at the validation point of re-
ceived frame (reception of 6th EOF bit) and end at the earli-
est possible transmission start of the next frame, which is
after the third intermission bit at 100% burst bus load.
20.10.4 Bit Time Logic Calculation Examples
The calculation of the CAN bus clocks using CKI = 16MHz is
shown in the following examples. The desired baud rate for
both examples is 1Mbit/s.

These four bit times have to be set in perspective with the tim-
ing requirements of the CR16CAN.

TSEG1 = TSEG1[3:0] + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

20.10.5 Acceptance Filter Considerations
The CR16CAN provides two acceptance filter masks GMSK
and BMSK as described in Acceptance Filtering on page 95,
Global Mask Registers (GMSK — GMSKB and GMSKX) on
page 110 and Basic Mask Registers (BMSK — BMSKB and
BMSKX) on page 110. These masks allow filtering of up to
32 bits of the message object, which includes the standard
identifier, the extended identifier as well as the frame control
bits RTR, SRR and IDE.
20.10.6 Remote Frames
Remote frames can be automatically processed by the
CR16CAN interface. However, to fully enable that feature, the
RTR/XRTR bits (for both standard and extended frames)
within the BMSK and/or GMSK register need to be set to
“don’t care”. This is because a remote frame with the RTR bit
being set to “1” should trigger the transmission of a data
frame with the RTR bit set to “0” and therefore the ID bits of
the received message need to pass through the acceptance
filter. The same applies to transmitting remote frames and
switching to receive the corresponding data frames.

21.0 Analog Comparators
The Dual Analog Comparator (ACMP2) module contains two
independent analog comparators with all necessary control
logic. Each comparator unit compares the analog input volt-
ages applied to two input pins and determines which voltage
is higher. The comparison results can be placed on two out-
put pins and/or read by the software from a register.
Comparator 2 is disabled (CMP2EN=0), setting
the CMP2OE bit results in a logic 0 on the
CMP2O output pin.
21.2
ANALOG COMPARATOR USAGE
The comparator I/O pins are alternate functions of the Port L
pins. In order for a comparator to operate, its two input pins
must be configured to operate as inputs in the alternate func-
tion mode.
Figure 73 is a block diagram of the Dual Analog Comparator
module.
The two comparators are designated Comparator 1 (CMP1)
and Comparator 2 (CMP2). Each comparator has a positive
and a negative input, called CMP1P and CMP1N for Compar-
ator 1 and CMP2P and CMP2N for Comparator 2. An option-
al output, CMP1O for Comparator 1 or CMP2O for
Comparator 2, allows the external hardware to read the com-
parison results. If the positive input is greater than the nega-
tive input, the result is a logic 1. Otherwise, the result is a
logic 0. These same results are available to the software by
reading the CMPCTRL register. CMP1OP and CMP2OP are
the direct outputs of the analog comparator. These signals
are connected to the channels of the Multi-Wake-Up module.
Using a comparator's output pin is optional. If it is to be used,
it must be configured to operate as an output in the alternate
function mode. The comparison result bits in the CMPCTRL
register are available to the CPU whether or not the output
pin is enabled.
Note: There is a setup time for the comparator. The program-
mer needs to add at least one nop instruction between en-
abling the comparator and reading back the comparison
result if the parts is running above 24MHz.
The comparators uses DC current whenever they are en-
abled. Therefore, in order to reduce power consumption, it is
recommended that the comparators be disabled when they
are not needed, especially before entering any of the Power
Save modes.
21.1
ANALOG COMPARATOR CONTROL/
STATUS REGISTER (CMPCTRL)
The CMPCTRL register is a byte-wide, read/write register
that controls the comparator module and contains the com-
parison results. The control bits are read/write bits and the re-
sult bits are read-only bits. This register is cleared upon
reset. The register format is shown below.

22.0 A/D Converter
The A/D Converter (ADC) module is a 12-channel, multi-
plexed-input, analog-to-digital converter. The A/D Converter
receives an analog voltage on an input pin and converts that
voltage into an 8-bit digital value using successive approxi-
mation. The CPU can then read the result from a memory-
mapped register. The module supports four automated oper-
ating modes, providing single-channel or 4-channel scanned
operation in single-conversion or continuous mode.
The conversion results are stored in a 4-level data buffer. De-
pending on the operating mode, the buffer can hold the re-
sults of four successive conversions from a single channel or
four conversions from adjacent channels scanned in se-
quence.
22.1
OPERATING MODES
The A/D Converter can be configured to operate in any one
of four modes:
Figure 74 is a block diagram of the A/D Converter module.
— Single channel, single conversion
— Single channel, continuous conversion
— 4-channel scan, single conversion
— 4-channel scan, continuous conversion
The analog input signal is selected from the analog inputs us-
ing a 12-channel analog multiplexer. The input pins are alter-
nate functions of Port I.
A sample-and-hold circuit samples the analog voltage prior to
conversion and holds it stable throughout the conversion pro-
cess. A programmable initial delay period allows the sampled
voltage to stabilize before the conversion process begins.
The configuration is set by the SCAN and CONT fields in the
ADC Control 2 Register (ADCCNT2), as indicated in
Table 41. The A/D converter must be disabled when switch-
ing to a different mode.
The input voltage range is from 0V to V

for this capacitor is about 0.47 F.
The internal analog-to-digital converter block is based on a
successive approximation algorithm, which compares the
sampled voltage against an internally generated sequence of
analog voltages. The result is a linear conversion of the ana-
log voltage to an unsigned 8-bit value ranging from 00 hex for

In the single channel, single conversion mode, the A/D Con-
verter performs a single conversion using a specified chan-
nel.
0.0 volts to FF hex for V
.
REF
The clock used by the converter block is generated by a clock
divider that scales down the system clock by a programmable
factor. The conversion algorithm requires ten A/D Converter
clock cycles, or 10 microseconds at the maximum allowed A/
D Converter clock rate of 2 MHz.
The software starts a conversion by setting the START bit in
the ADCCNT2 register. Upon completion of the conversion,
the A/D Converter places the result in register ADDATA0,
clears the START bit, and sets the EOC (end of conversion)
bit in the ADCST register. If the A/D Converter interrupt is en-
abled, an interrupt to the CPU is generated at this time.
Conversion can start after the power supply is stable and AD-
CEN set for 30 s.

22.1.2 Single Channel, Continuous Conversion Mode
software must read the results from the data registers before
the A/D Converter writes the next result into ADDATA0.
In the single channel, continuous conversion mode, the A/D
Converter performs conversions repeatedly using the same
specified channel.
When the software clears the START bit, the A/D Converter
first completes the 4-channel conversion sequence currently
in progress, then stops and sets the EOC bit.
The software starts a conversion sequence by setting the
START bit. The A/D Converter performs four A/D conversions
in sequence using the same channel, pausing only for the
programmable sampling delay time used in all conversion op-
erations. It loads the four results into the A/D data registers in
sequence, starting with ADDATA0 and ending with ADDATA3.
After it loads all four registers, it sets the EOC (end of conver-
sion) bit. If the A/D Converter interrupt is enabled, an inter-
rupt to the CPU is generated at this time.
22.2
A/D CONVERTER REGISTERS
The software controls the A/D Converter and reads the A/D
results by accessing the ADC registers. There are eight such
registers:
— ADC Status Register (ADCST)
— ADC Control 1 Register (ADCCNT1)
— ADC Control 2 Register (ADCCNT2)
— ADC Control 3 Register (ADCCNT3)
— ADC Data Registers (ADDATA0 through ADDATA3)
The START bit remains set until cleared by the software. If
the software does not clear the START bit, the A/D Converter
continues performing conversions using the same input
channel, storing the results in ADDATA0 following ADDATA3.
To prevent an overrun error, the software must read the re-
sults from the data registers before the A/D Converter writes
the next result into ADDATA0 following ADDATA3.
22.2.1 ADC Status Register (ADCST)
The ADCST register is a byte-wide register that indicates the
current status of the A/D Converter. One bit in this register,
the OVF flag bit, is cleared by writing a 1 to its bit position.
The other bits are read-only bits, so the values written to
them are ignored. Upon reset, the register is set to 30 hex.
The register format is shown below.
When the software clears the START bit, the A/D Converter
first completes the conversion currently in progress, then
stops and sets the EOC bit. A 2-bit buffer pointer in the
ADCST register points to the register containing the final re-
sult.

End of Conversion. This read-only bit reports
the status of the most recent A/D Converter op-

conversion is not complete. When set to 1, it in-
dicates that the conversion is complete. The
hardware sets this bit when it places the con-
version results in the buffer and clears it when
any of the data registers are read.
ADC Busy. This read-only bit is set to 1 when
the A/D Converter is busy converting data and

Overflow. The hardware sets this bit to 1 when
the A/D Converter finishes a conversion and at-
tempts to store the results in one of the data
registers (ADDATA0-ADDATA3) while the regis-
ter is full. When this happens, the A/D Convert-
er overwrites the data in the data register, sets
the OVF flag, and continues operating.
The OVF flag remains set until cleared by the
software. The software clears the flag by writ-
ing a 1 to it. Writing a 0 to this bit has no effect.
Buffer Pointer. This 2-bit, read-only field identi-
fies the data register that was most recently

In the 4-channel scan, single conversion mode, the A/D Con-

registers in sequence, starting with ADDATA0 and ending
with ADDATA3. After it loads all four registers, it clears the
START bit and sets the EOC (end of conversion) bit. If the A/
D Converter interrupt is enabled, an interrupt to the CPU is

22.1.4 Channel Scan, Continuous Conversion Mode
In the 4-channel scan, continuous conversion mode, the A/D
Converter performs conversions repeatedly using four adja-
cent input channels.
The software starts conversion operations by setting the
START bit. The A/D Converter performs four A/D conversions
in sequence using four adjacent channels, starting with the
specified channel and pausing only for the programmable
sampling delay time. It loads the four results into the A/D data
registers in sequence, starting with ADDATA0 and ending
with ADDATA3. After it loads all four registers, it sets the EOC
(end of conversion) bit. If the A/D Converter interrupt is en-
abled, an interrupt to the CPU is generated at this time.
BUFPTR
00 = ADDATA0
01 = ADDATA1
10 = ADDATA2
11 = ADDATA3
This register is initialized to 11 when a new
conversion is started (when ADCCNT2.START
is changed from 0 to 1) and is automatically in-
cremented every time a result is written to buff-
ers ADDATA0-ADDATA3. The result is a four-
The START bit remains set until cleared by the software. If
the software does not clear the START bit, the A/D Converter
continues performing conversions, repeating the same se-
quence using the same four input channels and the same se-
quence of data registers. To prevent an overrun error, the

Scan Mode. This 2-bit field selects the single-
conversion mode or 4-channel scan mode as
follows:
00 = single-conversion mode
01 = 4-channel scan mode
1X = reserved
Start Conversion. The software sets this bit to
1 to start a conversion or a 4-channel conver-
sion cycle. In the “continuous” mode, this bit re-
mains set until cleared by the software. In the
“single” (non-continuous) mode, the hardware
clears this bit upon completion of the pro-
grammed conversion cycle. The software
should not attempt to set this bit while the A/D
Converter is busy (ADCST.BUSY=1).
22.2.2 ADC Control 1 Register (ADCCNT1)
The ADCCNT1 register is a byte-wide, read/write register
used to enable the A/D Converter and its interrupts, and also
to control the reference voltage source. When writing to this
register, all reserved bits must be written with 0 for the A/D
Converter to function properly. Changing any bits other than
ADCEN (bit 0) is not allowed while the A/D Converter is ac-
tive (ADCST.BUSY or ADCCNT2.START set). Upon reset, all
non-reserved bits are cleared to 0. The register format is
shown below.

A/D Converter Enable. Setting this bit enables

disables the A/D Converter, terminates any
conversion in progress, and clears the ADC
status flags (ADCST.EOC, ADCST.BUSY,
ADCST.OVF, and ADCCNT2.START).
22.2.4 ADC Control 3 Register (ADCCNT3)
The ADCCNT3 register is a byte-wide, read/write register
used to specify the analog sampling time delay and the di-
vide-by factor for generating the ADC clock. This register
should be written only when the A/D Converter is disabled
(ADCCNT1.ADCEN=0). Upon reset, the non-reserved bits of
the ADCCNT3 register are cleared to 0. The register format
is shown below.

ables (0) A/D Converter interrupts. If enabled,

Clock Divide. This 3-bit field sets the divide-by
factor for generating the A/D Converter clock
from the system clock. The frequency of the A/
D Converter clock is equal to the system clock
divided by the programmed factor. The result-
ing A/D Converter clock frequency must be less
than or equal to 2 MHz. The divide-by factor is
defined as follows:
000 = divide by 1
001 = divide by 2
010 = divide by 4
011 = divide by 8
The ADCCNT2 register is a byte-wide, read/write register
used to specify the A/D Converter operating mode and to
start conversion operations. All register fields other than the
START bit should be changed only while the A/D Converter
is inactive (START=0). Data written to the SCAN and CONT
fields is ignored if the START bit is already set. Upon reset,
the non-reserved bits of this register are cleared to 0. The

DELAY
Sampling Time Delay. This 3-bit field defines
the number of A/D Converter clock cycles of
delay from the time that the input channel is se-
lected until the analog voltage is sampled. The
programmed delay should be sufficient, depen-
dent on the source impedance, to allow the
sampled signal to reach its final level before the
conversion begins. The delay is defined as fol-
lows:
000 = 1 A/D Converter clock cycle
001 = 2 A/D Converter clock cycles
010 = 4 A/D Converter clock cycles
011 = 8 A/D Converter clock cycles
100 = 16 A/D Converter clock cycles
101 = 32 A/D Converter clock cycles
CONT
Continuous Conversion. When cleared to 0, the
A/D Converter stops operating upon comple-

The programmable sampling time delay should be made
small for faster operation, but large enough to allow the input
voltage to settle. The internal resistance and capacitance of
the A/D Converter, together with the source resistance of the
device that drives the A/D input determine the charge-up time
required for the voltage to settle. Figure 75 shows a schemat-

22.2.5 ADC Data Registers (ADDATA0-ADDATA3)
Interrupts or polling can be used to read the A/D Converter
results. For interrupts, the A/D Converter interrupt must be
enabled by setting the ADCCNT1.INTE bit. The interrupt is
cleared automatically when any one of the data registers
(ADDATA0-ADDATA3) is read. For polling, the software reads
the ADCST.EOC bit to determine whether the conversion se-
quence is completed.
The four ADC Data Registers (ADDATA0 through ADDATA3)
are byte-wide, read/write registers that hold the conversion
results, which are stored sequentially starting with ADDATA0
and ending with ADDATA3. The results held in these registers
are valid only after the ADCST.EOC flag is set. Upon reset,
the contents of these registers are undefined.
The value read from a data register is a linear mapping of the
analog input voltage to an 8-bit value. The value 00 hex rep-
resents 0.0 volts and the value FF hex represents the refer-

A/D CONVERTER PROGRAMMING
1. Enable the A/D Converter by setting the ADCCNT1.AD-
CEN bit and wait 30 µs before performing any conver-
sion.
2. Select the operating mode and channel by writing to the
SCAN, CONT, and CHANNEL fields of the ADCCNT2
register. At the same time, start the conversion by setting
the START bit in the same register.
22.3
The software should set the A/D Converter configuration be-
fore it enables the A/D Converter module. The configuration
consists of the following settings:
— ADC clock rate: ADCCNT3.CDIV
— Sampling delay: ADCCNT3.DELAY
— Interrupt enable (if required): ADCCNT1.INTE
3. Wait until the conversion is finished, either by polling or
using the A/D Converter interrupt.
The ADC clock is created by scaling down the system clock.
The fastest allowable clock for the A/D Converter is 2 MHz.
Therefore, for the fastest possible operation of the A/D Con-
verter, use the smallest available divide-by factor that results
in a clock frequency of 1 MHz or lower. The available divide-
by factors are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32.
4. Read the conversion results from the data registers,
ADDATA0 through ADDATA3 (or just ADDATA0 in the sin-
gle-channel, single-conversion mode).
5. In the continuous conversion modes, repeat Step 3 and
Step 4 for as long as samples are needed. Then stop the
A/D Converter by clearing either the START bit
(ADCCNT2.START) or the A/D Converter enable bit
(ADCCNT1.ADCEN).
For example, if the system clock is 10 MHz, use a divide-by
factor of 16. In that case, the A/D Converter clock frequency
is 625 kHz, the clock period is 1.6 microseconds, and the A/
D conversion time is 16 microseconds (ten clock A/D Con-
verter clock cycles).
To minimize power consumption, the A/D Converter should
be disabled when it is not needed, especially before entering
a Power Save mode.

Table 43 is a detailed memory map showing the specific
memory address of the memory, I/O ports, and registers. The
table shows the starting address, the size, and a brief de-
scription of each memory block and register. For detailed in-
formation on using these memory locations, see the
applicable sections in the data sheet.
All addresses not listed in the table are reserved and should
not be read or written. An attempt to access an unlisted ad-
dress will have unpredictable results.
Each byte-wide register occupies a single address and can
be accessed only in a byte-wide transaction. Each word-wide
register occupies two consecutive memory addresses and
can be accessed only in a word-wide transaction. Both the
byte-wide and word-wide registers reside at word boundaries

122
(even addresses). Thus, each byte-wide register uses only
the lowest eight bits of the internal data bus.
When the software writes to a register in which one or more
bits are reserved, it must write a zero to each reserved bit un-
less indicated otherwise in the description of the register.
Reading a reserved bit returns an undefined value.
Most device registers are read/write registers. However,
some registers are read-only or write-only, as indicated in the
table. An attempt to read a write-only register or to write a
read-only register will have unpredictable results.

26.0 Appendix
26.2.2 Timing and WATCHDOG Module Problem Cause
The following document describes problems identified in the
CR16 modules.
The timing and WATCHDOG module uses two different clock
signals for its operation, the slow system clock as well as the
fast system clock.
26.1
8/16-BIT MICROWIRE/SPI (MWSPI16)
26.1.1 MWSPI16 Problem Description
The slow system clock can either be generated by an exter-
nal 32 kHz quartz or it can be derived from the fast system
clock by means of a prescaler counter in the CLK2RES mod-
ules. The TWM can operate off a maximum slow system
clock of 100 kHz. The WATCHDOG counter (down-counter)
is either clocked directly by the slow system (T0IN) or it is
decremented every time the counter T0 underflows (T0OUT).
According to the specification, the MSKn clock output in mas-
ter mode should have the value of the MnIDL bit of the
MWnCTL register, even when the module is disabled. How-
ever, the MSKn pin is enabled and the module is disabled.
thus, even if the MnIDL bit is set, the MSKn clock will change
to a low level as soon as the module is disabled. If any slave
is selected at this time, i will interpret this unwanted transition
as a shift clock.
The fast system clock is used for accesses to TWM registers,
which build the user interface of the TWM. These user inter-
face registers include all memory-mapped registers of the
TWM.
26.1.2 MWSPI16 Problem Cause
Even if the module is disabled and the alternate function of
the MSKn pin is enabled, the module can still influence the
MSKn pin and drives the default value ‘0’.
Every time the user (CR16B core) writes to a TWM configu-
ration register or to the WATCHDOG Service Data Match reg-
ister, this “high speed operation” must be synchronized to the
internal TWM logic running at the slow clock rate. This syn-
chronization process takes a variable number of low speed
clock cycles, depending on the ratio between the low-speed
and the high-speed system clock and the phase shift be-
tween the two clock signals. The more the two frequencies
differ from each other, the longer it takes the synchronization
process.
26.1.3 MWSPI16 Problem Solutions
When the MSKn idle level of ‘1’ is to be used, the following
procedure should be followed when the module is disabled:
1. Set the MSKn pin to high level in the corresponding port
data output register.
2. Configure the MSKn pin to an output in the correspond-
ing port direction register.
3. Disable the alternate function of the MSKn pin in the cor-
responding port alternate function register.
4. Disable the MWSPI16 module.
In other words, write operations to the TWM registers take a
certain number of low-speed clock cycles to show the desired
effects to the TWM logic.
This fact is especially critical for the write operation for the
WATCHDOG service, as it affects the allowed window for a
valid WATCHDOG service.
26.2
TIMING AND WATCHDOG MODULE
26.2.1 Timing and WATCHDOG Module Problem
Description
If the device runs in active mode, the synchronization pro-
cess can take up to four WATCHDOG counter clock cycles.
This limits the available WATCHDOG service to the window
shown in figure 94:
The available window for a valid WATCHDOG service varies
with the TWM configuration and the operating mode of the
R16MCS9. Therefore it is not possible to generally provide
the limits for the maximum service window. However, the lim-
its for the minimum service window is guaranteed and should
be used.
