incrementing and post-decrementing, to name just a few  
examples. In many cases, the instruction set can simulta-  
neously execute as many as three functions with the same  
single-byte instruction.  
1.0 Device Description  
1.1 ARCHITECTURE  
The COP8 family is based on a modified Harvard architec-  
ture, which allows data tables to be accessed directly from  
program memory. This is very important with modern  
microcontroller-based applications, since program memory  
is usually ROM or EPROM, while data memory is usually  
RAM. Consequently data tables need to be contained in  
non-volatile memory, so they are not lost when the micro-  
controller is powered down. In a modified Harvard architec-  
ture, instruction fetch and memory data transfers can be  
overlapped with a two stage pipeline, which allows the next  
instruction to be fetched from program memory while the  
current instruction is being executed using data memory.  
This is not possible with a Von Neumann single-address bus  
architecture.  
JID: (Jump Indirect); Single byte instruction; decodes exter-  
nal events and jumps to corresponding service routines  
(analogous to “DO CASE” statements in higher level lan-  
guages).  
LAID: (Load Accumulator-Indirect); Single byte look up table  
instruction provides efficient data path from the program  
memory to the CPU. This instruction can be used for table  
lookup and to read the entire program memory for checksum  
calculations.  
RETSK: (Return Skip); Single byte instruction allows return  
from subroutine and skips next instruction. Decision to  
branch can be made in the subroutine itself, saving code.  
AUTOINC/DEC: (Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement); These  
instructions use the two memory pointers B and X to effi-  
ciently process a block of data (analogous to “FOR NEXT” in  
higher level languages).  
The COP8 family supports a software stack scheme that  
allows the user to incorporate many subroutine calls. This  
capability is important when using High Level Languages.  
With a hardware stack, the user is limited to a small fixed  
number of stack levels.  
1.2.3 Bit-Level Control  
Bit-level control over many of the microcontroller’s I/O ports  
provides a flexible means to ease layout concerns and save  
board space. All members of the COP8 family provide the  
ability to set, reset and test any individual bit in the data  
memory address space, including memory-mapped I/O ports  
and associated registers.  
1.2 INSTRUCTION SET  
In today’s 8-bit microcontroller application arena cost/  
performance, flexibility and time to market are several of the  
key issues that system designers face in attempting to build  
well-engineered products that compete in the marketplace.  
Many of these issues can be addressed through the manner  
in which a microcontroller’s instruction set handles process-  
ing tasks. And that’s why COP8 family offers a unique and  
code-efficient instruction setone that provides the flexibil-  
ity, functionality, reduced costs and faster time to market that  
today’s microcontroller based products require.  
1.2.4 Register Set  
Three memory-mapped pointers handle register indirect ad-  
dressing and software stack pointer functions. The memory  
data pointers allow the option of post-incrementing or post-  
decrementing with the data movement instructions (LOAD/  
EXCHANGE). And 15 memory-maped registers allow de-  
signers to optimize the precise implementation of certain  
specific instructions.  
Code efficiency is important because it enables designers to  
pack more on-chip functionality into less program memory  
space. Selecting  
a microcontroller with less program  
memory size translates into lower system costs, and the  
added security of knowing that more code can be packed  
into the available program memory space.  
1.3 EMI REDUCTION  
The COP8SGx5 family of devices incorporates circuitry that  
guards against electromagnetic interferencean increasing  
problem in today’s microcontroller board designs. National’s  
patented EMI reduction technology offers low EMI clock  
circuitry, gradual turn-on output drivers (GTOs) and internal  
ICC smoothing filters, to help circumvent many of the EMI  
issues influencing embedded control designs. National has  
achieved 15 dB–20 dB reduction in EMI transmissions when  
designs have incorporated its patented EMI reducing cir-  
cuitry.  
1.2.1 Key Instruction Set Features  
The COP8 family incorporates a unique combination of in-  
struction set features, which provide designers with optimum  
code efficiency and program memory utilization.  
Single Byte/Single Cycle Code Execution  
The efficiency is due to the fact that the majority of instruc-  
tions are of the single byte variety, resulting in minimum  
program space. Because compact code does not occupy a  
substantial amount of program memory space, designers  
can integrate additional features and functionality into the  
microcontroller program memory space. Also, the majority  
instructions executed by the device are single cycle, result-  
ing in minimum program execution time. In fact, 77% of the  
instructions are single byte single cycle, providing greater  
code and I/O efficiency, and faster code execution.  
1.4 PACKAGING/PIN EFFICIENCY  
Real estate and board configuration considerations demand  
maximum space and pin efficiency, particularly given today’s  
high integration and small product form factors. Microcon-  
troller users try to avoid using large packages to get the I/O  
needed. Large packages take valuable board space and  
increases device cost, two trade-offs that microcontroller  
designs can ill afford.  
1.2.2 Many Single-Byte, Multifunction Instructions  
The COP8 family offers a wide range of packages and do not  
waste pins: up to 90.9% (or 40 pins in the 44-pin package)  
are devoted to useful I/O.  
The COP8 instruction set utilizes many single-byte, multi-  
function instructions. This enables a single instruction to  
accomplish multiple functions, such as DRSZ, DCOR, JID,  
LD (Load) and  
X (Exchange) instructions with post-

dedicated WATCHDOG output with weak pullup if  
WATCHDOG feature is selected by the Mask Option reg-  
ister. The pin is a general purpose I/O if WATCHDOG  
feature is not selected. If WATCHDOG feature is selected,  
bit 1 of the Port G configuration and data register does not  
have any effect on Pin G1 setup. Pin G7 is either input or  
output depending on the oscillator option selected. With the  
crystal oscillator option selected, G7 serves as the dedicated  
output pin for the CKO clock output. With the internal R/C or  
the external oscillator option selected, G7 serves as a gen-  
eral purpose Hi-Z input pin and is also used to bring the  
device out of HALT mode with a low to high transition on G7.  
4.0 Pin Descriptions  
The COP8SGx I/O structure enables designers to reconfig-  
ure the microcontroller’s I/O functions with a single instruc-  
tion. Each individual I/O pin can be independently configured  
as output pin low, output high, input with high impedance or  
input with weak pull-up device. A typical example is the use  
of I/O pins as the keyboard matrix input lines. The input lines  
can be programmed with internal weak pull-ups so that the  
input lines read logic high when the keys are all open. With  
a key closure, the corresponding input line will read a logic  
zero since the weak pull-up can easily be overdriven. When  
the key is released, the internal weak pull-up will pull the  
input line back to logic high. This eliminates the need for  
external pull-up resistors. The high current options are avail-  
able for driving LEDs, motors and speakers. This flexibility  
helps to ensure a cleaner design, with less external compo-  
nents and lower costs. Below is the general description of all  
available pins.  
Since G6 is an input only pin and G7 is the dedicated CKO  
clock output pin (crystal clock option) or general purpose  
input (R/C or external clock option), the associated bits in the  
data and configuration registers for G6 and G7 are used for  
special purpose functions as outlined below. Reading the G6  
and G7 data bits will return zeroes.  
Each device will be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”  
to bit 7 of the Port G Data Register. Similarly the device will  
be placed in the IDLE mode by writing a “1” to bit 6 of the  
Port G Data Register.  
VCC and GND are the power supply pins. All VCC and GND  
pins must be connected.  
CKI is the clock input. This can come from the Internal R/C  
oscillator, external, or a crystal oscillator (in conjunction with  
CKO). See Oscillator Description section.  
Writing a “1” to bit 6 of the Port G Configuration Register  
enables the MICROWIRE/PLUS to operate with the alter-  
nate phase of the SK clock. The G7 configuration bit, if set  
high, enables the clock start up delay after HALT when the  
R/C clock configuration is used.  
RESET is the master reset input. See Reset description  
section.  
Each device contains four bidirectional 8-bit I/O ports (C, G,  
L and F), where each individual bit may be independently  
configured as an input (Schmitt trigger inputs on ports L and  
G), output or TRI-STATE under program control. Three data  
memory address locations are allocated for each of these  
I/O ports. Each I/O port has two associated 8-bit memory  
mapped registers, the CONFIGURATION register and the  
output DATA register. A memory mapped address is also  
reserved for the input pins of each I/O port. (See the memory  
map for the various addresses associated with the I/O ports.)  
Figure 4 shows the I/O port configurations. The DATA and  
CONFIGURATION registers allow for each port bit to be  
individually configured under software control as shown be-

4.0 Pin Descriptions (Continued)  
Note: For compatibility with existing software written for COP888xG devices  
and with existing Mask ROM devices, a read of the Port I input pins  
(address xxD7) will return the same data as reading the Port F input  
pins (address xx96). It is recommended new applications which will go  
to production with the COP8SGx use the Port F addresses. Note that  
compatible ROM devices contains the input only Port I instead of the  
bi-directional Port F.  
Port D is an 8-bit output port that is preset high when RESET  
goes low. The user can tie two or more D port outputs  
(except D2) together in order to get a higher drive.  
Note: Care must be exercised with the D2 pin operation. At RESET, the  
external loads on this pin must ensure that the output voltages stay  
above 0.7 V  
to prevent the chip from entering special modes. Also  
CC  
keep the external loading on D2 to less than 1000 pF.

dresses 0F0 to 0FE Hex. These registers can be loaded  
immediately, and also decremented and tested with the  
DRSZ (decrement register and skip if zero) instruction. The  
memory pointer registers X, SP and B are memory mapped  
into this space at address locations 0FC to 0FE Hex respec-  
tively, with the other registers (except 0FF) being available  
for general usage.  
5.0 Functional Description  
The architecture of the devices are a modified Harvard ar-  
chitecture. With the Harvard architecture, the program  
memory ROM is separated from the data store memory  
(RAM). Both ROM and RAM have their own separate ad-  
dressing space with separate address buses. The architec-  
ture, though based on the Harvard architecture, permits  
transfer of data from ROM to RAM.  
The instruction set permits any bit in memory to be set, reset  
or tested. All I/O and registers (except A and PC) are  
memory mapped; therefore, I/O bits and register bits can be  
directly and individually set, reset and tested. The accumu-  
lator (A) bits can also be directly and individually tested.  
Note: RAM contents are undefined upon power-up.  
5.1 CPU REGISTERS  
The CPU can do an 8-bit addition, subtraction, logical or shift  
operation in one instruction (tC) cycle time.  
There are six CPU registers:  
5.4 DATA MEMORY SEGMENT RAM EXTENSION  
A is the 8-bit Accumulator Register  
Data memory address 0FF is used as a memory mapped  
location for the Data Segment Address Register (S).  
PC is the 15-bit Program Counter Register  
PU is the upper 7 bits of the program counter (PC)  
PL is the lower 8 bits of the program counter (PC)  
The data store memory is either addressed directly by a  
single byte address within the instruction, or indirectly rela-  
tive to the reference of the B, X, or SP pointers (each  
contains a single-byte address). This single-byte address  
allows an addressing range of 256 locations from 00 to FF  
hex. The upper bit of this single-byte address divides the  
data store memory into two separate sections as outlined  
previously. With the exception of the RAM register memory  
from address locations 00F0 to 00FF, all RAM memory is  
memory mapped with the upper bit of the single-byte ad-  
dress being equal to zero. This allows the upper bit of the  
single-byte address to determine whether or not the base  
address range (from 0000 to 00FF) is extended. If this upper  
bit equals one (representing address range 0080 to 00FF),  
then address extension does not take place. Alternatively, if  
this upper bit equals zero, then the data segment extension  
register S is used to extend the base address range (from  
0000 to 007F) from XX00 to XX7F, where XX represents the  
8 bits from the S register. Thus the 128-byte data segment  
extensions are located from addresses 0100 to 017F for  
data segment 1, 0200 to 027F for data segment 2, etc., up to  
FF00 to FF7F for data segment 255. The base address  
range from 0000 to 007F represents data segment 0.  
B is an 8-bit RAM address pointer, which can be optionally  
post auto incremented or decremented.  
X is an 8-bit alternate RAM address pointer, which can be  
optionally post auto incremented or decremented.  
S is the 8-bit Segment Address Register used to extend the  
lower half of the address range (00 to 7F) into 256 data  
segments of 128 bytes each.  
SP is the 8-bit stack pointer, which points to the subroutine/  
interrupt stack (in RAM). With reset the SP is initialized to  
RAM address 02F Hex (devices with 64 bytes of RAM), or  
initialized to RAM address 06F Hex (devices with 128 bytes  
of RAM).  
All the CPU registers are memory mapped with the excep-  
tion of the Accumulator (A) and the Program Counter (PC).  
5.2 PROGRAM MEMORY  
The program memory consists of varies sizes of ROM.  
These bytes may hold program instructions or constant data  
(data tables for the LAID instruction, jump vectors for the JID  
instruction, and interrupt vectors for the VIS instruction). The  
program memory is addressed by the 15-bit program  
counter (PC). All interrupts in the device vector to program  
memory location 0FF Hex. The contents of the program  
memory read 00 Hex in the erased state. Program execution  
starts at location 0 after RESET.  
Figure 7 illustrates how the S register data memory exten-  
sion is used in extending the lower half of the base address  
range (00 to 7F hex) into 256 data segments of 128 bytes  
each, with a total addressing range of 32 kbytes from XX00  
to XX7F. This organization allows a total of 256 data seg-  
ments of 128 bytes each with an additional upper base  
segment of 128 bytes. Furthermore, all addressing modes  
are available for all data segments. The S register must be  
changed under program control to move from one data  
segment (128 bytes) to another. However, the upper base  
segment (containing the 16 memory registers, I/O registers,  
control registers, etc.) is always available regardless of the  
contents of the S register, since the upper base segment  
(address range 0080 to 00FF) is independent of data seg-  
ment extension.  
5.3 DATA MEMORY  
The data memory address space includes the on-chip RAM  
and data registers, the I/O registers (Configuration, Data and  
Pin), the control registers, the MICROWIRE/PLUS SIO shift  
register, and the various registers, and counters associated  
with the timers (with the exception of the IDLE timer). Data  
memory is addressed directly by the instruction or indirectly  
by the B, X and SP pointers.  
The data memory consists of 256 or 512 bytes of RAM.  
Sixteen bytes of RAM are mapped as “registers” at ad-

FIGURE 7. RAM Organization  
The format of the ECON register is as follows:  
The instructions that utilize the stack pointer (SP) always  
reference the stack as part of the base segment (Segment  
0), regardless of the contents of the S register. The S register  
is not changed by these instructions. Consequently, the  
stack (used with subroutine linkage and interrupts) is always  
located in the base segment. The stack pointer will be initial-  
ized to point at data memory location 006F as a result of  
reset.

The 128 bytes of RAM contained in the base segment are  
split between the lower and upper base segments. The first  
112 bytes of RAM are resident from address 0000 to 006F in  
the lower base segment, while the remaining 16 bytes of  
RAM represent the 16 data memory registers located at  
addresses 00F0 to 00FF of the upper base segment. No  
RAM is located at the upper sixteen addresses (0070 to  
007F) of the lower base segment.

Additional RAM beyond these initial 128 bytes, however, will  
always be memory mapped in groups of 128 bytes (or less)  
at the data segment address extensions (XX00 to XX7F) of  
the lower base segment. The additional 384 bytes of RAM in  
this device are memory mapped at address locations 0100

For compatibility with COP8SGx7 devices, mask options are

5.6 USER STORAGE SPACE IN EPROM  
The ECON register is outside of the normal address range of  
the ROM and can not be accessed by the executing soft-  
ware.  
The COP8 assembler defines a special ROM section type,  
CONF, into which the ECON may be coded. Both ECON and  
User Data are programmed automatically by programmers  
that are certified by National.  
The following examples illustrate the declaration of ECON  
and the User information.

5.7 OTP SECURITY  
The device has a security feature that, when enabled, pre-  
vents external reading of the OTP program memory. The  
security bit in the ECON register determines, whether secu-  
rity is enabled or disabled. If the security feature is disabled,  
the contents of the internal EPROM may be read.  
T3CNTRL: CLEARED  
Accumulator, Timer 1, Timer 2 and Timer 3:

If the security feature is enabled, then any attempt to  
externally read the contents of the EPROM will result in  
the value FF Hex being read from all program locations  
Under no circumstances can a secured part be read. In  
addition, with the security feature enabled, the write opera-  
tion to the EPROM program memory and ECON register is  
inhibited. The ECON register is readable regardless of the  
state of the security bit. The security bit, when set, cannot  
be erased, even in windowed packages. If the security bit  
is set in a device in a windowed package, that device may be  
erased but will not be further programmable.

5.8 ERASURE CHARACTERISTICS  
The erasure characteristics of the device are such that era-  
sure begins to occur when exposed to light with wavelengths  
shorter than approximately 4000 Angstroms (Å). It should be  
noted that sunlight and certain types of fluorescent lamps  
have wavelengths in the 3000Å - 4000Å range.  
PSR, ENU, ENUR, ENUI: Cleared except the TBMT bit  
which is set to one.  
COMPARATORS:  
After programming, opaque labels should be placed over the  
window of windowed devices to prevent unintentional era-  
sure. Covering the window will also prevent temporary func-  
tional failure due to the generation of photo currents.

RESET pin should be connected directly, or through a  
pull-up resistor, to VCC. The output of the power-on reset  
detector will always preset the Idle timer to 0FFF(4096 tC).  
At this time, the internal reset will be generated.  
5.0 Functional Description (Continued)  
The device comes out of reset with both the WATCH-  
DOG logic and the Clock Monitor detector armed, with the  
WATCHDOG service window bits set and the Clock Monitor  
bit set. The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor circuits are  
inhibited during reset. The WATCHDOG service window bits  
being initialized high default to the maximum WATCHDOG  
service window of 64k tC clock cycles. The Clock Monitor bit  
being initialized high will cause a Clock Monitor error follow-  
ing reset if the clock has not reached the minimum specified  
frequency at the termination of reset. A Clock Monitor error  
will cause an active low error output on pin G1. This error  
output will continue until 16 tC–32 tC clock cycles following  
the clock frequency reaching the minimum specified value,  
at which time the G1 output will go high.  
If the Power-On Reset feature is enabled, the internal reset  
will not be turned off until the Idle timer underflows. The  
internal reset will perform the same functions as external  
reset. The user is responsible for ensuring that VCC is at the  
minimum level for the operating frequency within the 4096  
tC. After the underflow, the logic is designed such that no  
additional internal resets occur as long as VCC remains  
above 2.0V.  
The contents of data registers and RAM are unknown fol-  
lowing the on-chip reset.  
5.9.1 External Reset  
The RESET input when pulled low initializes the device. The  
RESET pin must be held low for a minimum of one instruc-  
tion cycle to guarantee a valid reset. During Power-Up ini-  
tialization, the user must ensure that the RESET pin is held  
low until the device is within the specified VCC voltage. An  
R/C circuit on the RESET pin with a delay 5 times (5x)  
greater than the power supply rise time or 15 µs whichever is  
greater, is recommended. Reset should also be wide enough  
to ensure crystal start-up upon Power-Up.  
RESET may also be used to cause an exit from the HALT  
mode.  
A recommended reset circuit for this device is shown in  
Figure 9.

The on-chip reset circuit is selected by a bit in the ECON  
register. When enabled, the device generates an internal  
reset as VCC rises to a voltage level above 2.0V. The on-chip  
reset circuitry is able to detect both fast and slow rise times  
on VCC (VCC rise time between 10 ns and 50 ms).To guar-  
antee an on-chip power-on-reset, VCCmust start at a voltage  
less than the start voltage specified in the DC characteris-  
tics. Also, if VCC be lowered to the start voltage before  
powering back up to the operating range. If this is not pos-  
sible, it is recommended that external reset be used.

5.10 OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS  
There are four clock oscillator options available: Crystal  
Oscillator with or without on-chip bias resistor, R/C Oscillator  
with on-chip resistor and capacitor, and External Oscillator.  
The oscillator feature is selected by programming the ECON  
register, which is summarized in Table 1.  
5.10.3 R/C Oscillator  
The R/C Oscillator mode can be selected by programming  
ECON Bit 3 to 1 and ECON Bit 4 to 0. In R/C oscillation  
mode, CKI is left floating, while G7/CKO is available as a  
general purpose input G7 and/or HALT control. The R/C  
controlled oscillator has on-chip resistor and capacitor for  
maximum R/C oscillator frequency operation. The maximum

and temperature range of −40˚C to +85˚C. For max fre-  
quency operation, the CKI pin should be left floating. For  
lower frequencies, an external capacitor should be con-  
nected between CKI and either VCC or GND. Immunity of the  
R/C oscillator to external noise can be improved by connect-  
ing one half the external capacitance to VCC and one half to  
GND. PC board trace length on the CKI pin should be kept  
as short as possible. Table 3 shows the oscillator frequency  
as a function of external capacitance on the CKI pin. Figure  
14 shows the R/C oscillator configuration.  
Crystal Oscillator without Bias Resistor

5.10.1 Crystal Oscillator  
The crystal Oscillator mode can be selected by programming  
ECON Bit 4 to 1. CKI is the clock input while G7/CKO is the  
clock generator output to the crystal. An on-chip bias resistor  
connected between CKI and CKO can be enabled by pro-  
gramming ECON Bit 3 to 1 with the crystal oscillator option  
selection. The value of the resistor is in the range of 0.5M to  
2M (typically 1.0M). Table 2 shows the component values  
required for various standard crystal values. Resistor R2 is  
only used when the on-chip bias resistor is disabled. Figure  
12 shows the crystal oscillator connection diagram.

One of the timer’s operating modes is the Processor Inde-  
pendent PWM mode. In this mode, the timer generates a  
“Processor Independent” PWM signal because once the  
timer is setup, no more action is required from the CPU  
which translates to less software overhead and greater  
throughput. The user software services the timer block only  
when the PWM parameters require updating. This capability  
is provided by the fact that the timer has two separate 16-bit  
reload registers. One of the reload registers contains the  
“ON” timer while the other holds the “OFF” time. By contrast,  
a microcontroller that has only a single reload register re-  
quires an additional software to update the reload value  
(alternate between the on-time/off-time).  
The T3CNTRL control register contains the following bits:

RA in mode 1, T3 Underflow in mode 2, T3A

The timer can generate the PWM output with the width and  
duty cycle controlled by the values stored in the reload  
registers. The reload registers control the countdown values  
and the reload values are automatically written into the timer  
when it counts down through 0, generating interrupt on each  
reload. Under software control and with minimal overhead,  
the PMW outputs are useful in controlling motors, triacs, the  
intensity of displays, and in providing inputs for data acqui-  
sition and sine wave generators.

6.0 Timers  
Each device contains a very versatile set of timers (T0, T1,  
T2 and T3). Timer T1, T2 and T3 and associated autoreload/  
capture registers power up containing random data.  
In this mode, the timer Tx counts down at a fixed rate of tC.  
Upon every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with  
the contents of supporting registers, RxA and RxB. The very  
first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from  
the register RxA. Subsequent underflows cause the timer to  
be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the  
register RxB.  
6.1 TIMER T0 (IDLE TIMER)  
Each device supports applications that require maintaining  
real time and low power with the IDLE mode. This IDLE  
mode support is furnished by the IDLE timer T0. The Timer  
T0 runs continuously at the fixed rate of the instruction cycle  
clock, tC. The user cannot read or write to the IDLE Timer T0,  
which is a count down timer.  
Figure 15 shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.  
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the TxA output  
pin. The underflows can also be programmed to generate  
interrupts.  
The Timer T0 supports the following functions:  
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two  
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The user must reset  
these pending flags under software control. Two control  
enable flags, TxENA and TxENB, allow the interrupts from  
the timer underflow to be enabled or disabled. Setting the  
timer enable flag TxENA will cause an interrupt when a timer  
underflow causes the RxA register to be reloaded into the  
timer. Setting the timer enable flag TxENB will cause an  
interrupt when a timer underflow causes the RxB register to  
be reloaded into the timer. Resetting the timer enable flags  
will disable the associated interrupts.  
Exit out of the Idle Mode (See Idle Mode description)  
WATCHDOG logic (See WATCHDOG description)  
Start up delay out of the HALT mode  
Timing the width of the internal power-on-reset  
The IDLE Timer T0 can generate an interrupt when the  
twelfth bit toggles. This toggle is latched into the T0PND  
pending flag, and will occur every 2.731 ms at the maximum  
clock frequency (tC = 0.67 µs). A control flag T0EN allows the  
interrupt from the twelfth bit of Timer T0 to be enabled or  
disabled. Setting T0EN will enable the interrupt, while reset-  
ting it will disable the interrupt.  
Either or both of the timer underflow interrupts may be  
enabled. This gives the user the flexibility of interrupting  
once per PWM period on either the rising or falling edge of  
the PWM output. Alternatively, the user may choose to inter-  
rupt on both edges of the PWM output.  
6.2 TIMER T1, TIMER T2 and TIMER T3  
Each device have a set of three powerful timer/counter  
blocks, T1, T2 and T3. Since T1, T2, and T3 are identical, all  
comments are equally applicable to any of the three timer  
blocks which will be referred to as Tx.  
6.2.2 Mode 2. External Event Counter Mode  
This mode is quite similar to the processor independent  
PWM mode described above. The main difference is that the  
timer, Tx, is clocked by the input signal from the TxA pin. The  
Tx timer control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1 allow the timer to  
be clocked either on a positive or negative edge from the  
TxA pin. Underflows from the timer are latched into the  
TxPNDA pending flag. Setting the TxENA control flag will  
cause an interrupt when the timer underflows.  
Each timer block consists of a 16-bit timer, Tx, and two  
supporting 16-bit autoreload/capture registers, RxA and  
RxB. Each timer block has two pins associated with it, TxA  
and TxB. The pin TxA supports I/O required by the timer  
block, while the pin TxB is an input to the timer block. The  
timer block has three operating modes: Processor Indepen-  
dent PWM mode, External Event Counter mode, and Input  
Capture mode.  
www.national.com  
22  
value when the external event occurs, the time of the exter-  
nal event is recorded. Most microcontrollers have a latency  
time because they cannot determine the timer value when  
the external event occurs. The capture register eliminates  
the latency time, thereby allowing the applications program  
to retrieve the timer value stored in the capture register.  
6.0 Timers (Continued)  
In this mode, the timer Tx is constantly running at the fixed tC  
rate. The two registers, RxA and RxB, act as capture regis-  
ters. Each register acts in conjunction with a pin. The register  
RxA acts in conjunction with the TxA pin and the register RxB  
acts in conjunction with the TxB pin.  
The timer value gets copied over into the register when a  
trigger event occurs on its corresponding pin. Control bits,  
TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1, allow the trigger events to be speci-  
fied either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger  
condition for each input pin can be specified independently.  
The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate  
interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger condition  
on the TxA and TxB pins will be respectively latched into the  
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The control flag Tx-  
ENA allows the interrupt on TxA to be either enabled or  
disabled. Setting the TxENA flag enables interrupts to be  
generated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the  
TxA pin. Similarly, the flag TxENB controls the interrupts  
from the TxB pin.  
10131746  
FIGURE 15. Timer in PWM Mode  
In this mode the input pin TxB can be used as an indepen-  
dent positive edge sensitive interrupt input if the TxENB  
control flag is set. The occurrence of a positive edge on the  
TxB input pin is latched into the TxPNDB flag.  
Figure 16 shows a block diagram of the timer in External  
Event Counter mode.  
Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to gen-  
erate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer TxC0  
pending flag (the TxC0 control bit serves as the timer under-  
flow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture mode). Con-  
sequently, the TxC0 control bit should be reset when enter-  
ing the Input Capture mode. The timer underflow interrupt is  
enabled with the TxENA control flag. When a TxA interrupt  
occurs in the Input Capture mode, the user must check both  
the TxPNDA and TxC0 pending flags in order to determine  
whether a TxA input capture or a timer underflow (or both)  
caused the interrupt.  
Note: The PWM output is not available in this mode since the TxA pin is being  
used as the counter input clock.  
Figure 17 shows a block diagram of the timer T1 in Input  
Capture mode. Timer T2 and T3 are identical to T1.

FIGURE 16. Timer in External Event Counter Mode  
6.2.3 Mode 3. Input Capture Mode  
Each device can precisely measure external frequencies or  
time external events by placing the timer block, Tx, in the  
input capture mode. In this mode, the reload registers serve  
as independent capture registers, capturing the contents of  
the timer when an external event occurs (transition on the  
timer input pin). The capture registers can be read while  
maintaining count, a feature that lets the user measure  
elapsed time and time between events. By saving the timer

On wakeup from G7 or Port L, the devices resume execution  
from the HALT point. On wakeup from RESET execution will  
resume from location PC=0 and all RESET conditions apply.  
7.0 Power Saving Features  
Today, the proliferation of battery-operated based applica-  
tions has placed new demands on designers to drive power  
consumption down. Battery-operated systems are not the  
only type of applications demanding low power. The power  
budget constraints are also imposed on those consumer/  
industrial applications where well regulated and expensive  
power supply costs cannot be tolerated. Such applications  
rely on low cost and low power supply voltage derived di-  
rectly from the “mains” by using voltage rectifier and passive  
components. Low power is demanded even in automotive  
applications, due to increased vehicle electronics content.  
This is required to ease the burden from the car battery. Low  
power 8-bit microcontrollers supply the smarts to control  
battery-operated, consumer/industrial, and automotive appli-  
cations.  
If a crystal or ceramic resonator may be selected as the  
oscillator, the Wakeup signal is not allowed to start the chip  
running immediately since crystal oscillators and ceramic  
resonators have a delayed start up time to reach full ampli-  
tude and frequency stability. The IDLE timer is used to  
generate a fixed delay to ensure that the oscillator has  
indeed stabilized before allowing instruction execution. In  
this case, upon detecting a valid Wakeup signal, only the  
oscillator circuitry is enabled. The IDLE timer is loaded with  
a value of 256 and is clocked with the tC instruction cycle  
clock. The tC clock is derived by dividing the oscillator clock  
down by a factor of 9. The Schmitt trigger following the CKI  
inverter on the chip ensures that the IDLE timer is clocked  
only when the oscillator has a sufficiently large amplitude to  
meet the Schmitt trigger specifications. This Schmitt trigger  
is not part of the oscillator closed loop. The start-up time-out  
from the IDLE timer enables the clock signals to be routed to  
the rest of the chip.  
Each device offers system designers a variety of low-power  
consumption features that enable them to meet the demand-  
ing requirements of today’s increasing range of low-power  
applications. These features include low voltage operation,  
low current drain, and power saving features such as HALT,  
IDLE, and Multi-Input wakeup (MIWU).  
If an R/C clock option is being used, the fixed delay is  
introduced optionally. A control bit, CLKDLY, mapped as  
configuration bit G7, controls whether the delay is to be  
introduced or not. The delay is included if CLKDLY is set,  
and excluded if CLKDLY is reset. The CLKDLY bit is cleared  
on reset.  
Each device offers the user two power save modes of op-  
eration: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode, all microcontrol-  
ler activities are stopped. In the IDLE mode, the on-board  
oscillator circuitry and timer T0 are active but all other micro-  
controller activities are stopped. In either mode, all on-board  
RAM, registers, I/O states, and timers (with the exception of  
T0) are unaltered.  
Each device has two options associated with the HALT  
mode. The first option enables the HALT mode feature, while  
the second option disables the HALT mode selected through  
bit 0 of the ECON register. With the HALT mode enable  
option, the device will enter and exit the HALT mode as  
described above. With the HALT disable option, the device  
cannot be placed in the HALT mode (writing a “1” to the  
HALT flag will have no effect, the HALT flag will remain “0”).  
Clock Monitor, if enabled, can be active in both modes.  
7.1 HALT MODE  
Each device can be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”  
to the HALT flag (G7 data bit). All microcontroller activities,  
including the clock and timers, are stopped. The WATCH-  
DOG logic on the devices are disabled during the HALT  
mode. However, the clock monitor circuitry, if enabled, re-  
mains active and will cause the WATCHDOG output pin  
(WDOUT) to go low. If the HALT mode is used and the user  
does not want to activate the WDOUT pin, the Clock Monitor  
should be disabled after the devices come out of reset  
(resetting the Clock Monitor control bit with the first write to  
the WDSVR register). In the HALT mode, the power require-  
ments of the devices are minimal and the applied voltage  
(VCC) may be decreased to Vr (Vr = 2.0V) without altering the  
state of the machine.  
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during the  
HALT mode. However, the clock monitor circuit if enabled  
remains active during HALT mode in order to ensure a clock  
monitor error if the device inadvertently enters the HALT  
mode as a result of a runaway program or power glitch.  
If the device is placed in the HALT mode, with the R/C  
oscillator selected, the clock input pin (CKI) is forced to a  
logic high internally. With the crystal or external oscillator the  
CKI pin is TRI-STATE.  
It is recommended that the user not halt the device by merely  
stopping the clock in external oscillator mode. If this method  
is used, there is a possibility of greater than specified HALT  
current.  
Each device supports three different ways of exiting the  
HALT mode. The first method of exiting the HALT mode is  
with the Multi-Input Wakeup feature on Port L. The second  
method is with a low to high transition on the CKO (G7) pin.  
This method precludes the use of the crystal clock configu-  
ration (since CKO becomes a dedicated output), and so may  
only be used with an R/C clock configuration. The third  
method of exiting the HALT mode is by pulling the RESET  
pin low.  
If the user wishes to stop an external clock, it is recom-  
mended that the CPU be halted by setting the Halt flag first  
and the clock be stopped only after the CPU has halted.

FIGURE 18. Wakeup from HALT  
7.2 IDLE MODE  
The user can enter the IDLE mode with the Timer T0 inter-  
rupt enabled. In this case, when the T0PND bit gets set, the  
device will first execute the Timer T0 interrupt service routine  
and then return to the instruction following the “Enter Idle  
Mode” instruction.  
The device is placed in the IDLE mode by writing a “1” to the  
IDLE flag (G6 data bit). In this mode, all activities, except the  
associated on-board oscillator circuitry and the IDLE Timer  
T0, are stopped.  
Alternatively, the user can enter the IDLE mode with the  
IDLE Timer T0 interrupt disabled. In this case, the device will  
resume normal operation with the instruction immediately  
following the “Enter IDLE Mode” instruction.  
Note: It is necessary to program two NOP instructions following both the set  
HALT mode and set IDLE mode instructions. These NOP instructions  
are necessary to allow clock resynchronization following the HALT or  
IDLE modes.  
As with the HALT mode, the device can be returned to  
normal operation with a reset, or with a Multi-Input Wakeup  
from the L Port. Alternately, the microcontroller resumes  
normal operation from the IDLE mode when the twelfth bit  
(representing 4.096 ms at internal clock frequency of  
10 MHz, tC = 1 µs) of the IDLE Timer toggles.  
This toggle condition of the twelfth bit of the IDLE Timer T0 is  
latched into the T0PND pending flag.  
The user has the option of being interrupted with a transition  
on the twelfth bit of the IDLE Timer T0. The interrupt can be  
enabled or disabled via the T0EN control bit. Setting the  
T0EN flag enables the interrupt and vice versa.

7.0 Power Saving Features (Continued)  
7.3 MULTI-INPUT WAKEUP  
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature is used to return (wakeup)  
the device from either the HALT or IDLE modes. Alternately  
Multi-Input Wakeup/Interrupt feature may also be used to  
generate up to 8 edge selectable external interrupts.  
RBIT 5, WKEN  
SBIT 5, WKEDG ; Change edge polarity  
RBIT 5, WKPND ; Reset pending flag  
; Disable MIWU  
SBIT 5, WKEN  
; Enable MIWU  
Figure 20 shows the Multi-Input Wakeup logic.  
If the L port bits have been used as outputs and then  
changed to inputs with Multi-Input Wakeup/Interrupt, a safety  
procedure should also be followed to avoid wakeup condi-  
tions. After the selected L port bits have been changed from  
output to input but before the associated WKEN bits are  
enabled, the associated edge select bits in WKEDG should  
be set or reset for the desired edge selects, followed by the  
associated WKPND bits being cleared.  
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature utilizes the L Port. The user  
selects which particular L port bit (or combination of L Port  
bits) will cause the device to exit the HALT or IDLE modes.  
The selection is done through the register WKEN. The reg-  
ister WKEN is an 8-bit read/write register, which contains a  
control bit for every L port bit. Setting a particular WKEN bit  
enables a Wakeup from the associated L port pin.  
This same procedure should be used following reset, since  
the L port inputs are left floating as a result of reset.  
The user can select whether the trigger condition on the  
selected L Port pin is going to be either a positive edge (low  
to high transition) or a negative edge (high to low transition).  
This selection is made via the register WKEDG, which is an  
8-bit control register with a bit assigned to each L Port pin.  
Setting the control bit will select the trigger condition to be a  
negative edge on that particular L Port pin. Resetting the bit  
selects the trigger condition to be a positive edge. Changing  
an edge select entails several steps in order to avoid a  
Wakeup condition as a result of the edge change. First, the  
associated WKEN bit should be reset, followed by the edge  
select change in WKEDG. Next, the associated WKPND bit  
should be cleared, followed by the associated WKEN bit  
being re-enabled.  
The occurrence of the selected trigger condition for Multi-  
Input Wakeup is latched into a pending register called WK-  
PND. The respective bits of the WKPND register will be set  
on the occurrence of the selected trigger edge on the corre-  
sponding Port L pin. The user has the responsibility of clear-  
ing these pending flags. Since WKPND is a pending register  
for the occurrence of selected wakeup conditions, the device  
will not enter the HALT mode if any Wakeup bit is both  
enabled and pending. Consequently, the user must clear the  
pending flags before attempting to enter the HALT mode.  
WKEN and WKEDG are all read/write registers, and are  
cleared at reset. WKPND register contains random value  
after reset.  
An example may serve to clarify this procedure. Suppose we  
wish to change the edge select from positive (low going high)

Other functions of the ENUR register include saving the  
ninth bit received in the data frame, enabling or disabling the  
USART’s attention mode of operation and providing addi-  
tional receiver/transmitter status information via RCVG and  
XMTG bits. The determination of an internal or external clock  
source is done by the ENUI register, as well as selecting the  
number of stop bits and enabling or disabling transmit and  
receive interrupts. A control flag in this register can also  
select the USART mode of operation: asynchronous or  
synchronous.  
8.0 USART  
Each device contains a full-duplex software programmable  
USART. The USART (Figure 21) consists of a transmit shift  
register, a receive shift register and seven addressable reg-  
isters, as follows: a transmit buffer register (TBUF), a re-  
ceiver buffer register (RBUF), a USART control and status  
register (ENU), a USART receive control and status register  
(ENUR), a USART interrupt and clock source register  
(ENUI), a prescaler select register (PSR) and baud (BAUD)  
register. The ENU register contains flags for transmit and  
receive functions; this register also determines the length of  
the data frame (7, 8 or 9 bits), the value of the ninth bit in  
transmission, and parity selection bits. The ENUR register  
flags framing, data overrun and parity errors while the US-  
ART is receiving.

This mode is selected by setting SSEL bit in the ENUI  
register. The input frequency to the USART is the same as  
the baud rate.  
8.0 USART (Continued)  
8.3 Associated I/O Pins  
Data is transmitted on the TDX pin and received on the RDX  
pin. TDX is the alternate function assigned to Port L pin L2;  
it is selected by setting ETDX (in the ENUI register) to one.  
RDX is an inherent function of Port L pin L3, requiring no  
setup.  
When an external clock input is selected at the CKX pin, data  
transmit and receive are performed synchronously with this  
clock through TDX/RDX pins.  
If data transmit and receive are selected with the CKX pin as  
clock output, the device generates the synchronous clock  
output at the CKX pin. The internal baud rate generator is  
used to produce the synchronous clock. Data transmit and  
receive are performed synchronously with this clock.  
The baud rate clock for the USART can be generated on-  
chip, or can be taken from an external source. Port L pin L1  
(CKX) is the external clock I/O pin. The CKX pin can be  
either an input or an output, as determined by Port L Con-  
figuration and Data registers (Bit 1). As an input, it accepts a  
clock signal which may be selected to drive the transmitter  
and/or receiver. As an output, it presents the internal Baud  
Rate Generator output.  
8.5 FRAMING FORMATS  
The USART supports several serial framing formats (Figure  
22). The format is selected using control bits in the ENU,  
ENUR and ENUI registers.  
The first format (1, 1a, 1b, 1c) for data transmission (CHL0 =  
1, CHL1 = 0) consists of Start bit, seven Data bits (excluding  
parity) and 7/8, one or two Stop bits. In applications using  
parity, the parity bit is generated and verified by hardware.  
8.4 USART Operation  
The USART has two modes of operation: asynchronous  
mode and synchronous mode.  
The second format (CHL0 = 0, CHL1 = 0) consists of one  
Start bit, eight Data bits (excluding parity) and 7/8, one or  
two Stop bits. Parity bit is generated and verified by hard-  
ware.  
8.4.1 ASYNCHRONOUS MODE  
This mode is selected by resetting the SSEL (in the ENUI  
register) bit to zero. The input frequency to the USART is 16  
times the baud rate.  
The third format for transmission (CHL0 = 0, CHL1 = 1)  
consists of one Start bit, nine Data bits and 7/8, one or two  
Stop bits. This format also supports the USART “ATTEN-  
TION” feature. When operating in this format, all eight bits of  
TBUF and RBUF are used for data. The ninth data bit is  
transmitted and received using two bits in the ENU and  
ENUR registers, called XBIT9 and RBIT9. RBIT9 is a read  
only bit. Parity is not generated or verified in this mode.  
The TSFT and TBUF registers double-buffer data for trans-  
mission. While TSFT is shifting out the current character on  
the TDX pin, the TBUF register may be loaded by software  
with the next byte to be transmitted. When TSFT finishes  
transmitting the current character the contents of TBUF are  
transferred to the TSFT register and the Transmit Buffer  
Empty Flag (TBMT in the ENU register) is set. The TBMT  
flag is automatically reset by the USART when software  
loads a new character into the TBUF register. There is also  
the XMTG bit which is set to indicate that the USART is  
transmitting. This bit gets reset at the end of the last frame  
(end of last Stop bit). TBUF is a read/write register.  
For any of the above framing formats, the last Stop bit can  
be programmed to be 7/8th of a bit in length. If two Stop bits  
are selected and the 7/8th bit is set (selected), the second  
Stop bit will be 7/8th of a bit in length.  
The parity is enabled/disabled by PEN bit located in the ENU  
register. Parity is selected for 7- and 8-bit modes only. If  
parity is enabled (PEN = 1), the parity selection is then  
performed by PSEL0 and PSEL1 bits located in the ENU  
register.  
The RSFT and RBUF registers double-buffer data being  
received. The USART receiver continually monitors the sig-  
nal on the RDX pin for a low level to detect the beginning of  
a Start bit. Upon sensing this low level, it waits for half a bit  
time and samples again. If the RDX pin is still low, the  
receiver considers this to be a valid Start bit, and the remain-  
ing bits in the character frame are each sampled a single  
time, at the mid-bit position. Serial data input on the RDX pin  
is shifted into the RSFT register. Upon receiving the com-  
plete character, the contents of the RSFT register are copied  
into the RBUF register and the Received Buffer Full Flag  
(RBFL) is set. RBFL is automatically reset when software  
reads the character from the RBUF register. RBUF is a read  
only register. There is also the RCVG bit which is set high  
when a framing error occurs and goes low once RDX goes  
high. TBMT, XMTG, RBFL and RCVG are read only bits.  
Note that the XBIT9/PSEL0 bit located in the ENU register  
serves two mutually exclusive functions. This bit programs  
the ninth bit for transmission when the USART is operating  
with nine data bits per frame. There is no parity selection in  
this framing format. For other framing formats XBIT9 is not  
needed and the bit is PSEL0 used in conjunction with PSEL1  
to select parity.  
The frame formats for the receiver differ from the transmitter  
in the number of Stop bits required. The receiver only re-  
quires one Stop bit in a frame, regardless of the setting of the  
Stop bit selection bits in the control register. Note that an  
implicit assumption is made for full duplex USART operation  
that the framing formats are the same for the transmitter and  
receiver.  
8.4.2 SYNCHRONOUS MODE  
In this mode data is transferred synchronously with the  
clock. Data is transmitted on the rising edge and received on  
the falling edge of the synchronous clock.

8.6 USART INTERRUPTS  
source selected in the PSR and BAUD registers. Internally,  
the basic baud clock is created from the oscillator frequency  
through a two-stage divider chain consisting of a 1–16 (in-  
crements of 0.5) prescaler and an 11-bit binary counter.  
(Figure 23). The divide factors are specified through two  
read/write registers shown in Figure 24. Note that the 11-bit  
Baud Rate Divisor spills over into the Prescaler Select Reg-  
ister (PSR). PSR is cleared upon reset.  
The USART is capable of generating interrupts. Interrupts  
are generated on Receive Buffer Full and Transmit Buffer  
Empty. Both interrupts have individual interrupt vectors. Two  
bytes of program memory space are reserved for each in-  
terrupt vector. The two vectors are located at addresses  
0xEC to 0xEF Hex in the program memory space. The  
interrupts can be individually enabled or disabled using En-  
able Transmit Interrupt (ETI) and Enable Receive Interrupt  
(ERI) bits in the ENUI register.  
As shown in Table 5, a Prescaler Factor of 0 corresponds to  
NO CLOCK. This condition is the USART power down mode  
where the USART clock is turned off for power saving pur-  
pose. The user must also turn the USART clock off when a  
different baud rate is chosen.  
The interrupt from the Transmitter is set pending, and re-  
mains pending, as long as both the TBMT and ETI bits are  
set. To remove this interrupt, software must either clear the  
ETI bit or write to the TBUF register (thus clearing the TBMT  
bit).  
The correspondences between the 5-bit Prescaler Select  
and Prescaler factors are shown in Table 5. There are many  
ways to calculate the two divisor factors, but one particularly  
effective method would be to achieve a 1.8432 MHz fre-  
quency coming out of the first stage. The 1.8432 MHz pres-  
caler output is then used to drive the software programmable  
baud rate counter to create a 16x clock for the following baud  
rates: 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600,  
4800, 7200, 9600, 19200 and 38400 (Table 4). Other baud  
The interrupt from the receiver is set pending, and remains  
pending, as long as both the RBFL and ERI bits are set. To  
remove this interrupt, software must either clear the ERI bit  
or read from the RBUF register (thus clearing the RBFL bit).  
8.7 Baud Clock Generation  
The clock inputs to the transmitter and receiver sections of  
the USART can be individually selected to come either from  
an external source at the CKX pin (port L, pin L1) or from a  
31  
www.national.com  
8.0 USART (Continued)  
rates may be created by using appropriate divisors. The 16x  
clock is then divided by 16 to provide the rate for the serial

because of the finite start up time requirement of the crystal  
oscillator. The idle timer (T0) generates a fixed (256 tc) delay  
to ensure that the oscillator has indeed stabilized before  
allowing the device to execute code. The user has to con-  
sider this delay when data transfer is expected immediately  
after exiting the HALT mode.  
8.0 USART (Continued)  
As an example, considering Asynchronous Mode and a CKI  
clock of 4.608 MHz, the prescaler factor selected is:  
4.608/1.8432 = 2.5  
The 2.5 entry is available in Table 5. The 1.8432 MHz  
prescaler output is then used with proper Baud Rate Divisor  
(Table 4) to obtain different baud rates. For a baud rate of  
19200 e.g., the entry in Table 4 is 5.  
8.9 Diagnostic  
Bits CHARL0 and CHARL1 in the ENU register provide a  
loopback feature for diagnostic testing of the USART. When  
these bits are set to one, the following occur: The receiver  
input pin (RDX) is internally connected to the transmitter  
output pin (TDX); the output of the Transmitter Shift Register  
is “looped back” into the Receive Shift Register input. In this  
mode, data that is transmitted is immediately received. This  
feature allows the processor to verify the transmit and re-  
ceive data paths of the USART.  
N − 1 = 5 (N − 1 is the value from Table 4)  
N = 6 (N is the Baud Rate Divisor)  
Baud Rate = 1.8432 MHz/(16 x 6) = 19200  
The divide by 16 is performed because in the asynchronous  
mode, the input frequency to the USART is 16 times the  
baud rate. The equation to calculate baud rates is given  
below.  
Note that the framing format for this mode is the nine bit  
format; one Start bit, nine data bits, and 7/8, one or two Stop  
bits. Parity is not generated or verified in this mode.  
The actual Baud Rate may be found from:  
BR = Fc/(16 x N x P)  
Where:  
BR is the Baud Rate  
8.10 Attention Mode  
Fc is the CKI frequency  
N is the Baud Rate Divisor (Table 4).  
The USART Receiver section supports an alternate mode of  
operation, referred to as ATTENTION Mode. This mode of  
operation is selected by the ATTN bit in the ENUR register.  
The data format for transmission must also be selected as  
having nine Data bits and either 7/8, one or two Stop bits.  
P is the Prescaler Divide Factor selected by the value in the  
Prescaler Select Register (Table 5)  
Note: In the Synchronous Mode, the divisor 16 is replaced by two.  
The ATTENTION mode of operation is intended for use in  
networking the device with other processors. Typically in  
such environments the messages consists of device ad-  
dresses, indicating which of several destinations should re-  
ceive them, and the actual data. This Mode supports a  
scheme in which addresses are flagged by having the ninth  
bit of the data field set to a 1. If the ninth bit is reset to a zero  
the byte is a Data byte.  
Example:  
Asynchronous Mode:  
Crystal Frequency = 5 MHz  
Desired baud rate = 9600  
Using the above equation N x P can be calculated first.  
N x P = (5 x 106)/(16 x 9600) = 32.552  
Now 32.552 is divided by each Prescaler Factor (Table 5) to  
obtain a value closest to an integer. This factor happens to  
be 6.5 (P = 6.5).  
While in ATTENTION mode, the USART monitors the com-  
munication flow, but ignores all characters until an address  
character is received. Upon receiving an address character,  
the USART signals that the character is ready by setting the  
RBFL flag, which in turn interrupts the processor if USART  
Receiver interrupts are enabled. The ATTN bit is also cleared  
automatically at this point, so that data characters as well as  
address characters are recognized. Software examines the  
contents of the RBUF and responds by deciding either to  
accept the subsequent data stream (by leaving the ATTN bit  
reset) or to wait until the next address character is seen (by  
setting the ATTN bit again).  
N = 32.552/6.5 = 5.008 (N = 5)  
The programmed value (from Table 4) should be 4 (N − 1).  
Using the above values calculated for N and P:  
BR = (5 x 106)/(16 x 5 x 6.5) = 9615.384  
% error = (9615.385 − 9600)/9600 x 100 = 0.16%  
8.8 Effect of HALT/IDLE  
The USART logic is reinitialized when either the HALT or  
IDLE modes are entered. This reinitialization sets the TBMT  
flag and resets all read only bits in the USART control and  
status registers. Read/Write bits remain unchanged. The  
Transmit Buffer (TBUF) is not affected, but the Transmit Shift  
register (TSFT) bits are set to one. The receiver registers  
RBUF and RSFT are not affected.  
Operation of the USART Transmitter is not affected by se-  
lection of this Mode. The value of the ninth bit to be trans-  
mitted is programmed by setting XBIT9 appropriately. The  
value of the ninth bit received is obtained by reading RBIT9.  
Since this bit is located in ENUR register where the error  
flags reside, a bit operation on it will reset the error flags.  
The device will exit from the HALT/IDLE modes when the  
Start bit of a character is detected at the RDX (L3) pin. This  
feature is obtained by using the Multi-Input Wakeup scheme  
provided on the device.  
9.0 Comparators  
The device contains two differential comparators, each with  
a pair of inputs (positive and negative) and an output. Ports  
F1–F3 and F4–F6 are used for the comparators. The follow-  
ing is the Port F assignment:  
Before entering the HALT or IDLE modes the user program  
must select the Wakeup source to be on the RDX pin. This  
selection is done by setting bit 3 of WKEN (Wakeup Enable)  
register. The Wakeup trigger condition is then selected to be  
high to low transition. This is done via the WKEDG register  
(Bit 3 is one.)

will read as zero if the associated comparator is not enabled.  
The Comparator Select Register is cleared with reset, result-  
ing in the comparators being disabled. The comparators  
should also be disabled before entering either the HALT or  
IDLE modes in order to save power. The configuration of the  
CMPSL register is as follows:  
9.0 Comparators (Continued)  
F1 Comparator1 negative input  
A Comparator Select Register (CMPSL) is used to enable  
the comparators, read the outputs of the comparators inter-  
nally, and enable the outputs of the comparators to the pins.  
Two control bits (enable and output enable) and one result  
bit are associated with each comparator. The comparator  
result bits (CMP1RD and CMP2RD) are read only bits which

10.1 INTRODUCTION  
CMP2EN Enable comparator 2  
Each device supports thirteen vectored interrupts. Interrupt  
sources include Timer 0, Timer 1, Timer 2, Timer 3, Port L  
Wakeup, Software Trap, MICROWIRE/PLUS, and External  
Input.

All interrupts force a branch to location 00FF Hex in program  
memory. The VIS instruction may be used to vector to the  
appropriate service routine from location 00FF Hex.  
CMP1EN Enable comparator 1  
Note that the two unused bits of CMPSL may be used as  
software flags.  
The Software trap has the highest priority while the default  
VIS has the lowest priority.  
Note: If the user attempts to use the comparator output  
immediately after enabling the comparator, an incorrect  
value may be read. At least one instruction cycle should pass  
between these operations. The use of a direct addressing  
mode instruction for either of these two operations will guar-  
antee this delay in the software.  
Each of the 13 maskable inputs has a fixed arbitration rank-  
ing and vector.

interrupt, and jump to the interrupt handling routine corre-  
sponding to the highest priority enabled and active interrupt.  
Alternately, the user may choose to poll all interrupt pending  
and enable bits to determine the source(s) of the interrupt. If  
more than one interrupt is active, the user’s program must  
decide which interrupt to service.  
10.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
10.2 MASKABLE INTERRUPTS  
All interrupts other than the Software Trap are maskable.  
Each maskable interrupt has an associated enable bit and  
pending flag bit. The pending bit is set to 1 when the interrupt  
condition occurs. The state of the interrupt enable bit, com-  
bined with the GIE bit determines whether an active pending  
flag actually triggers an interrupt. All of the maskable inter-  
rupt pending and enable bits are contained in mapped con-  
trol registers, and thus can be controlled by the software.  
Within a specific interrupt service routine, the associated  
pending bit should be cleared. This is typically done as early  
as possible in the service routine in order to avoid missing  
the next occurrence of the same type of interrupt event.  
Thus, if the same event occurs a second time, even while the  
first occurrence is still being serviced, the second occur-  
rence will be serviced immediately upon return from the  
current interrupt routine.  
A maskable interrupt condition triggers an interrupt under the  
following conditions:  
1. The enable bit associated with that interrupt is set.  
2. The GIE bit is set.  
An interrupt service routine typically ends with an RETI  
instruction. This instruction sets the GIE bit back to 1, pops  
the address stored on the stack, and restores that address to  
the program counter. Program execution then proceeds with  
the next instruction that would have been executed had  
there been no interrupt. If there are any valid interrupts  
pending, the highest-priority interrupt is serviced immedi-  
ately upon return from the previous interrupt.  
3. The device is not processing a non-maskable interrupt.  
(If  
a non-maskable interrupt is being serviced, a  
maskable interrupt must wait until that service routine is  
completed.)  
An interrupt is triggered only when all of these conditions are  
met at the beginning of an instruction. If different maskable  
interrupts meet these conditions simultaneously, the highest  
priority interrupt will be serviced first, and the other pending  
interrupts must wait.  
10.3 VIS INSTRUCTION  
The general interrupt service routine, which starts at address  
00FF Hex, must be capable of handling all types of inter-  
rupts. The VIS instruction, together with an interrupt vector  
table, directs the device to the specific interrupt handling  
routine based on the cause of the interrupt.  
Upon Reset, all pending bits, individual enable bits, and the  
GIE bit are reset to zero. Thus, a maskable interrupt condi-  
tion cannot trigger an interrupt until the program enables it by  
setting both the GIE bit and the individual enable bit. When  
enabling an interrupt, the user should consider whether or  
not a previously activated (set) pending bit should be ac-  
knowledged. If, at the time an interrupt is enabled, any  
previous occurrences of the interrupt should be ignored, the  
associated pending bit must be reset to zero prior to en-  
abling the interrupt. Otherwise, the interrupt may be simply  
enabled; if the pending bit is already set, it will immediately  
trigger an interrupt. A maskable interrupt is active if its asso-  
ciated enable and pending bits are set.  
VIS is a single-byte instruction, typically used at the very  
beginning of the general interrupt service routine at address  
00FF Hex, or shortly after that point, just after the code used  
for context switching. The VIS instruction determines which  
enabled and pending interrupt has the highest priority, and  
causes an indirect jump to the address corresponding to that  
interrupt source. The jump addresses (vectors) for all pos-  
sible interrupts sources are stored in a vector table.  
The vector table may be as long as 32 bytes (maximum of 16  
vectors) and resides at the top of the 256-byte block con-  
taining the VIS instruction. However, if the VIS instruction is  
at the very top of a 256-byte block (such as at 00FF Hex),  
the vector table resides at the top of the next 256-byte block.  
Thus, if the VIS instruction is located somewhere between  
00FF and 01DF Hex (the usual case), the vector table is  
located between addresses 01E0 and 01FF Hex. If the VIS  
instruction is located between 01FF and 02DF Hex, then the  
vector table is located between addresses 02E0 and 02FF  
Hex, and so on.  
An interrupt is an asychronous event which may occur be-  
fore, during, or after an instruction cycle. Any interrupt which  
occurs during the execution of an instruction is not acknowl-  
edged until the start of the next normally executed instruction  
is to be skipped, the skip is performed before the pending  
interrupt is acknowledged.  
At the start of interrupt acknowledgment, the following ac-  
tions occur:  
1. The GIE bit is automatically reset to zero, preventing any  
subsequent maskable interrupt from interrupting the cur-  
rent service routine. This feature prevents one maskable  
interrupt from interrupting another one being serviced.  
Each vector is 15 bits long and points to the beginning of a  
specific interrupt service routine somewhere in the 32 kbyte  
memory space. Each vector occupies two bytes of the vector  
table, with the higher-order byte at the lower address. The  
vectors are arranged in order of interrupt priority. The vector  
of the maskable interrupt with the lowest rank is located to  
0yE0 (higher-order byte) and 0yE1 (lower-order byte). The  
next priority interrupt is located at 0yE2 and 0yE3, and so  
forth in increasing rank. The Software Trap has the highest  
rank and its vector is always located at 0yFE and 0yFF. The  
number of interrupts which can become active defines the  
size of the table.  
2. The address of the instruction about to be executed is  
pushed onto the stack.  
3. The program counter (PC) is loaded with 00FF Hex,  
causing a jump to that program memory location.  
The device requires seven instruction cycles to perform the  
actions listed above.  
If the user wishes to allow nested interrupts, the interrupts  
service routine may set the GIE bit to 1 by writing to the PSW  
register, and thus allow other maskable interrupts to interrupt  
the current service routine. If nested interrupts are allowed,  
caution must be exercised. The user must write the program  
in such a way as to prevent stack overflow, loss of saved  
context information, and other unwanted conditions.  
Table 6 shows the types of interrupts, the interrupt arbitration  
ranking, and the locations of the corresponding vectors in  
the vector table.  
The vector table should be filled by the user with the memory  
locations of the specific interrupt service routines. For ex-  
The interrupt service routine stored at location 00FF Hex  
should use the VIS instruction to determine the cause of the  
35

gram context (A, B, X, etc.) and executing the RETI instruc-  
tion, an interrupt service routine can be terminated by return-  
ing to the VIS instruction. In this case, interrupts will be  
serviced in turn until no further interrupts are pending and  
the default VIS routine is started. After testing the GIE bit to  
ensure that execution is not erroneous, the routine should  
restore the program context and execute the RETI to return  
to the interrupted program.  
10.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
ample, if the Software Trap routine is located at 0310 Hex,  
then the vector location 0yFE and -0yFF should contain the  
data 03 and 10 Hex, respectively. When a Software Trap  
interrupt occurs and the VIS instruction is executed, the  
program jumps to the address specified in the vector table.  
The interrupt sources in the vector table are listed in order of  
rank, from highest to lowest priority. If two or more enabled  
and pending interrupts are detected at the same time, the  
one with the highest priority is serviced first. Upon return  
from the interrupt service routine, the next highest-level  
pending interrupt is serviced.  
This technique can save up to fifty instruction cycles (t  
c), or  
more, (50µs at 10 MHz oscillator) of latency for pending  
interrupts with a penalty of fewer than ten instruction cycles  
if no further interrupts are pending.  
To ensure reliable operation, the user should always use the  
VIS instruction to determine the source of an interrupt. Al-  
though it is possible to poll the pending bits to detect the  
source of an interrupt, this practice is not recommended. The  
use of polling allows the standard arbitration ranking to be  
altered, but the reliability of the interrupt system is compro-  
mised. The polling routine must individually test the enable  
and pending bits of each maskable interrupt. If a Software  
Trap interrupt should occur, it will be serviced last, even  
though it should have the highest priority. Under certain  
conditions, a Software Trap could be triggered but not ser-  
viced, resulting in an inadvertent “locking out” of all  
maskable interrupts by the Software Trap pending flag.  
Problems such as this can be avoided by using VIS  
instruction.  
If the VIS instruction is executed, but no interrupts are en-  
abled and pending, the lowest-priority interrupt vector is  
used, and a jump is made to the corresponding address in  
the vector table. This is an unusual occurrence, and may be  
the result of an error. It can legitimately result from a change  
in the enable bits or pending flags prior to the execution of  
the VIS instruction, such as executing a single cycle instruc-  
tion which clears an enable flag at the same time that the  
pending flag is set. It can also result, however, from inad-  
vertent execution of the VIS command outside of the context  
of an interrupt.  
The default VIS interrupt vector can be useful for applica-  
tions in which time critical interrupts can occur during the  
servicing of another interrupt. Rather than restoring the pro-

remains unchanged. The new PC is therefore pointing to the  
vector of the active interrupt with the highest arbitration  
ranking. This vector is read from program memory and  
placed into the PC which is now pointed to the 1st instruction  
of the service routine of the active interrupt with the highest

When the VIS instruction is executed it activates the arbitra-  
tion logic. The arbitration logic generates an even number  
between E0 and FE (E0, E2, E4, E6 etc...) depending on  
which active interrupt has the highest arbitration ranking at  
the time of the 1st cycle of VIS is executed. For example, if  
the software trap interrupt is active, FE is generated. If the  
external interrupt is active and the software trap interrupt is  
not, then FA is generated and so forth. If the only active  
interrupt is software trap, than E0 is generated. This number  
replaces the lower byte of the PC. The upper byte of the PC  
Figure 26 illustrates the different steps performed by the VIS  
instruction. Figure 27 shows a flowchart for the VIS instruc-  
tion.

RPND (Reset Non-Maskable Pending Bit) instruction (under  
certain conditions) and upon RESET.

flag; upon return to the first Software Trap routine, the  
STPND flag will have the wrong state. This will allow  
maskable interrupts to be acknowledged during the servicing  
of the first Software Trap. To avoid problems such as this, the  
user program should contain the Software Trap routine to  
perform a recovery procedure rather than a return to normal  
execution.  
10.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
10.4 NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT  
10.4.1 Pending Flag  
There is a pending flag bit associated with the non-maskable  
interrupt, called STPND. This pending flag is not memory-  
mapped and cannot be accessed directly by the software.  
Under normal conditions, the STPND flag is reset by a  
RPND instruction in the Software Trap service routine. If a  
programming error or hardware condition (brownout, power  
supply glitch, etc.) sets the STPND flag without providing a  
way for it to be cleared, all other interrupts will be locked out.  
To alleviate this condition, the user can use extra RPND  
instructions in the main program and in the WATCHDOG  
service routine (if present). There is no harm in executing  
extra RPND instructions in these parts of the program.  
The pending flag is reset to zero when a device Reset  
occurs. When the non-maskable interrupt occurs, the asso-  
ciated pending bit is set to 1. The interrupt service routine  
should contain an RPND instruction to reset the pending flag  
to zero. The RPND instruction always resets the STPND  
flag.  
10.4.2 Software Trap  
The Software Trap is a special kind of non-maskable inter-  
rupt which occurs when the INTR instruction (used to ac-  
knowledge interrupts) is fetched from program memory and  
placed in the instruction register. This can happen in a  
variety of ways, usually because of an error condition. Some  
examples of causes are listed below.  
10.5 PORT L INTERRUPTS  
Port L provides the user with an additional eight fully select-  
able, edge sensitive interrupts which are all vectored into the  
same service subroutine.  
The interrupt from Port L shares logic with the wake up  
circuitry. The register WKEN allows interrupts from Port L to  
be individually enabled or disabled. The register WKEDG  
specifies the trigger condition to be either a positive or a  
negative edge. Finally, the register WKPND latches in the  
pending trigger conditions.  
If the program counter incorrectly points to a memory loca-  
tion beyond the available program memory space, the non-  
existent or unused memory location returns zeroes which is  
interpreted as the INTR instruction.  
If the stack is popped beyond the allowed limit (address 06F  
Hex), a 7FFF will be loaded into the PC, if this last location in  
program memory is unprogrammed or unavailable, a Soft-  
ware Trap will be triggered.  
The GIE (Global Interrupt Enable) bit enables the interrupt  
function.  
A control flag, LPEN, functions as a global interrupt enable  
for Port L interrupts. Setting the LPEN flag will enable inter-  
rupts and vice versa. A separate global pending flag is not  
needed since the register WKPND is adequate.  
A Software Trap can be triggered by a temporary hardware  
condition such as a brownout or power supply glitch.  
The Software Trap has the highest priority of all interrupts.  
When a Software Trap occurs, the STPND bit is set. The GIE  
bit is not affected and the pending bit (not accessible by the  
user) is used to inhibit other interrupts and to direct the  
program to the ST service routine with the VIS instruction.  
Nothing can interrupt a Software Trap service routine except  
for another Software Trap. The STPND can be reset only by  
the RPND instruction or a chip Reset.  
Since Port L is also used for waking the device out of the  
HALT or IDLE modes, the user can elect to exit the HALT or  
IDLE modes either with or without the interrupt enabled. If he  
elects to disable the interrupt, then the device will restart  
execution from the instruction immediately following the in-  
struction that placed the microcontroller in the HALT or IDLE  
modes. In the other case, the device will first execute the  
interrupt service routine and then revert to normal operation.  
(See HALT MODE for clock option wakeup information.)  
The Software Trap indicates an unusual or unknown error  
condition. Generally, returning to normal execution at the  
point where the Software Trap occurred cannot be done  
reliably. Therefore, the Software Trap service routine should  
reinitialize the stack pointer and perform a recovery proce-  
dure that restarts the software at some known point, similar  
to a device Reset, but not necessarily performing all the  
same functions as a device Reset. The routine must also  
execute the RPND instruction to reset the STPND flag.  
Otherwise, all other interrupts will be locked out. To the  
extent possible, the interrupt routine should record or indi-  
cate the context of the device so that the cause of the  
Software Trap can be determined.  
10.6 INTERRUPT SUMMARY  
The device uses the following types of interrupts, listed  
below in order of priority:  
1. The Software Trap non-maskable interrupt, triggered by  
the INTR (00 opcode) instruction. The Software Trap is  
acknowledged immediately. This interrupt service rou-  
tine can be interrupted only by another Software Trap.  
The Software Trap should end with two RPND instruc-  
tions followed by a restart procedure.  
2. Maskable interrupts, triggered by an on-chip peripheral  
block or an external device connected to the device.  
Under ordinary conditions, a maskable interrupt will not  
interrupt any other interrupt routine in progress. A  
maskable interrupt routine in progress can be inter-  
If the user wishes to return to normal execution from the  
point at which the Software Trap was triggered, the user  
must first execute RPND, followed by RETSK rather than  
RETI or RET. This is because the return address stored on  
the stack is the address of the INTR instruction that triggered  
the interrupt. The program must skip that instruction in order  
to proceed with the next one. Otherwise, an infinite loop of  
Software Traps and returns will occur.  
rupted by the non-maskable interrupt request.  
A
maskable interrupt routine should end with an RETI  
instruction or, prior to restoring context, should return to  
execute the VIS instruction. This is particularly useful  
when exiting long interrupt service routiness if the time  
between interrupts is short. In this case the RETI instruc-  
tion would only be executed when the default VIS rou-  
tine is reached.  
Programming a return to normal execution requires careful  
consideration. If the Software Trap routine is interrupted by  
another Software Trap, the RPND instruction in the service  
routine for the second Software Trap will reset the STPND

11.2 WATCHDOG/CLOCK MONITOR OPERATION  
11.0 WATCHDOG/Clock Monitor  
The WATCHDOG is enabled by bit 2 of the ECON register.  
When this ECON bit is 0, the WATCHDOG is enabled and  
pin G1 becomes the WATCHDOG output with a weak pullup.  
Each device contains a user selectable WATCHDOG and  
clock monitor. The following section is applicable only if  
WATCHDOG feature has been selected in the ECON regis-  
ter. The WATCHDOG is designed to detect the user program  
getting stuck in infinite loops resulting in loss of program  
control or “runaway” programs.  
The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor are disabled during  
reset. The device comes out of reset with the WATCHDOG  
armed, the WATCHDOG Window Select bits (bits 6, 7 of the  
WDSVR Register) set, and the Clock Monitor bit (bit 0 of the  
WDSVR Register) enabled. Thus, a Clock Monitor error will  
occur after coming out of reset, if the instruction cycle clock  
frequency has not reached a minimum specified value, in-  
cluding the case where the oscillator fails to start.  
The WATCHDOG logic contains two separate service win-  
dows. While the user programmable upper window selects  
the WATCHDOG service time, the lower window provides  
protection against an infinite program loop that contains the  
WATCHDOG service instruction.  
The WDSVR register can be written to only once after reset  
and the key data (bits 5 through 1 of the WDSVR Register)  
must match to be a valid write. This write to the WDSVR  
register involves two irrevocable choices: (i) the selection of  
the WATCHDOG service window (ii) enabling or disabling of  
the Clock Monitor. Hence, the first write to WDSVR Register  
involves selecting or deselecting the Clock Monitor, select  
the WATCHDOG service window and match the WATCH-  
DOG key data. Subsequent writes to the WDSVR register  
will compare the value being written by the user to the  
WATCHDOG service window value and the key data (bits 7  
through 1) in the WDSVR Register. Table 9 shows the se-  
quence of events that can occur.  
The Clock Monitor is used to detect the absence of a clock or  
a very slow clock below a specified rate on the CKI pin.  
The WATCHDOG consists of two independent logic blocks:  
WD UPPER and WD LOWER. WD UPPER establishes the  
upper limit on the service window and WD LOWER defines  
the lower limit of the service window.  
Servicing the WATCHDOG consists of writing a specific  
value to a WATCHDOG Service Register named WDSVR  
which is memory mapped in the RAM. This value is com-  
posed of three fields, consisting of a 2-bit Window Select, a  
5-bit Key Data field, and the 1-bit Clock Monitor Select field.  
Table 7 shows the WDSVR register.  
The user must service the WATCHDOG at least once before  
the upper limit of the service window expires. The WATCH-  
DOG may not be serviced more than once in every lower  
limit of the service window.

The WATCHDOG has an output pin associated with it. This  
is the WDOUT pin, on pin 1 of the port G. WDOUT is active  
low and must be externally connected to the RESET pin or to  
some other external logic which handles WATCHDOG event.  
The WDOUT pin has a weak pullup in the inactive state. This  
pull-up is sufficient to serve as the connection to VCC for  
systems which use the internal Power On Reset. Upon  
triggering the WATCHDOG, the logic will pull the WDOUT  
(G1) pin low for an additional 16 tC–32 tC cycles after the  
signal level on WDOUT pin goes below the lower Schmitt  
trigger threshold. After this delay, the device will stop forcing  
the WDOUT output low. The WATCHDOG service window  
will restart when the WDOUT pin goes high.

The lower limit of the service window is fixed at 2048 instruc-  
tion cycles. Bits 7 and 6 of the WDSVR register allow the  
user to pick an upper limit of the service window.  
Table 8 shows the four possible combinations of lower and  
upper limits for the WATCHDOG service window. This flex-  
ibility in choosing the WATCHDOG service window prevents  
any undue burden on the user software.  
Bits 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 of the WDSVR register represent the  
5-bit Key Data field. The key data is fixed at 01100. Bit 0 of  
the WDSVR Register is the Clock Monitor Select bit.  
A WATCHDOG service while the WDOUT signal is active will  
be ignored. The state of the WDOUT pin is not guaranteed  
on reset, but if it powers up low then the WATCHDOG will  
time out and WDOUT will go high.  
TABLE 8. WATCHDOG Service Window Select  
The Clock Monitor forces the G1 pin low upon detecting a  
clock frequency error. The Clock Monitor error will continue  
until the clock frequency has reached the minimum specified  
value, after which the G1 output will go high following 16  
tC–32 tC clock cycles. The Clock Monitor generates a con-  
tinual Clock Monitor error if the oscillator fails to start, or fails  
to reach the minimum specified frequency. The specification  
for the Clock Monitor is as follows:

clock (1/tC) is greater or equal to 10 kHz. This equates to a  
clock input rate on CKI of greater or equal to 100 kHz.

11.3 WATCHDOG AND CLOCK MONITOR SUMMARY  
Following RESET, the initial WATCHDOG service (where  
the service window and the CLOCK MONITOR enable/  
disable must be selected) may be programmed any-  
where within the maximum service window (65,536 in-  
struction cycles) initialized by RESET. Note that this initial  
WATCHDOG service may be programmed within the ini-  
tial 2048 instruction cycles without causing a WATCH-  
DOG error.  
The following salient points regarding the WATCHDOG and  
CLOCK MONITOR should be noted:  
Both the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONITOR detector  
circuits are inhibited during RESET.  
Following RESET, the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONI-  
TOR are both enabled, with the WATCHDOG having the  
maximum service window selected.  
The WATCHDOG service window and CLOCK MONI-  
TOR enable/disable option can only be changed once,  
during the initial WATCHDOG service following RESET.  
11.4 DETECTION OF ILLEGAL CONDITIONS  
The device can detect various illegal conditions resulting  
from coding errors, transient noise, power supply voltage  
drops, runaway programs, etc.  
The initial WATCHDOG service must match the key data  
value in the WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR in  
order to avoid a WATCHDOG error.  
Reading of undefined ROM gets zeroes. The opcode for  
software interrupt is 00. If the program fetches instructions  
from undefined ROM, this will force a software interrupt, thus  
signaling that an illegal condition has occurred.  
Subsequent WATCHDOG services must match all three  
data fields in WDSVR in order to avoid WATCHDOG  
errors.  
The subroutine stack grows down for each call (jump to  
subroutine), interrupt, or PUSH, and grows up for each  
return or POP. The stack pointer is initialized to RAM location  
06F Hex during reset. Consequently, if there are more re-  
turns than calls, the stack pointer will point to addresses 070  
and 071 Hex (which are undefined RAM). Undefined RAM  
from addresses 070 to 07F (Segment 0), and all other seg-  
ments (i.e., Segments 4 … etc.) is read as all 1’s, which in  
turn will cause the program to return to address 7FFF Hex. It  
is recommended that the user either leave this location  
unprogrammed or place an INTR instruction (all 0’s) in this  
location to generate a software interrupt signaling an illegal  
condition.  
The correct key data value cannot be read from the  
WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR. Any attempt to  
read this key data value of 01100 from WDSVR will read  
as key data value of all 0’s.  
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during both  
the HALT and IDLE modes.  
The CLOCK MONITOR detector circuit is active during  
both the HALT and IDLE modes. Consequently, the de-  
vice inadvertently entering the HALT mode will be de-  
tected as a CLOCK MONITOR error (provided that the  
CLOCK MONITOR enable option has been selected by  
the program).  
Thus, the chip can detect the following illegal conditions:  
1. Executing from undefined ROM.  
With the single-pin R/C oscillator option selected and the  
CLKDLY bit reset, the WATCHDOG service window will  
resume following HALT mode from where it left off before  
entering the HALT mode.  
2. Over “POP”ing the stack by having more returns than  
calls.  
With the crystal oscillator option selected, or with the  
single-pin R/C oscillator option selected and the CLKDLY  
bit set, the WATCHDOG service window will be set to its  
selected value from WDSVR following HALT. Conse-  
quently, the WATCHDOG should not be serviced for at  
least 2048 instruction cycles following HALT, but must be  
serviced within the selected window to avoid a WATCH-  
DOG error.  
When the software interrupt occurs, the user can re-initialize  
the stack pointer and do a recovery procedure before restart-  
ing (this recovery program is probably similar to that follow-  
ing reset, but might not contain the same program initializa-  
tion procedures). The recovery program should reset the  
software interrupt pending bit using the RPND instruction.  
12.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS  
The IDLE timer T0 is not initialized with external RESET.  
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a serial SPI compatible synchronous  
communications interface. The MICROWIRE/PLUS capabil-  
ity enables the device to interface with MICROWIRE/PLUS  
or SPI peripherals (i.e. A/D converters, display drivers, EE-  
PROMs etc.) and with other microcontrollers which support  
the MICROWIRE/PLUS or SPI interface. It consists of an  
8-bit serial shift register (SIO) with serial data input (SI),  
serial data output (SO) and serial shift clock (SK). Figure 28  
shows a block diagram of the MICROWIRE/PLUS logic.  
The user can sync in to the IDLE counter cycle with an  
IDLE counter (T0) interrupt or by monitoring the T0PND  
flag. The T0PND flag is set whenever the twelfth bit of the  
IDLE counter toggles (every 4096 instruction cycles). The  
user is responsible for resetting the T0PND flag.  
A hardware WATCHDOG service occurs just as the de-  
vice exits the IDLE mode. Consequently, the WATCH-  
DOG should not be serviced for at least 2048 instruction  
cycles following IDLE, but must be serviced within the  
selected window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.  
The shift clock can be selected from either an internal source  
or an external source. Operating the MICROWIRE/PLUS  
www.national.com  
42  
enabled, an interrupt is generated when eight data bits have  
been shifted. The device may enter the MICROWIRE/PLUS  
mode either as a Master or as a Slave. Figure 28 shows how  
two microcontroller devices and several peripherals may be  
interconnected using the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangements.  
12.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS (Continued)  
arrangement with the internal clock source is called the  
Master mode of operation. Similarly, operating the  
MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangement with an external shift clock  
is called the Slave mode of operation.  
WARNING  
The CNTRL register is used to configure and control the  
MICROWIRE/PLUS mode. To use the MICROWIRE/PLUS,  
the MSEL bit in the CNTRL register is set to one. In the  
master mode, the SK clock rate is selected by the two bits,  
SL0 and SL1, in the CNTRL register. Table 10 details the  
different clock rates that may be selected.  
The SIO register should only be loaded when the SK clock is  
in the idle phase. Loading the SIO register while the SK clock  
is in the active phase, will result in undefined data in the SIO  
register.  
Setting the BUSY flag when the input SK clock is in the  
active phase while in the MICROWIRE/PLUS is in the slave  
mode may cause the current SK clock for the SIO shift  
register to be narrow. For safety, the BUSY flag should only  
be set when the input SK clock is in the idle phase.

In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Master mode of operation the  
shift clock (SK) is generated internally. The MICROWIRE  
Master always initiates all data exchanges. The MSEL bit in  
the CNTRL register must be set to enable the SO and SK  
functions onto the G Port. The SO and SK pins must also be  
selected as outputs by setting appropriate bits in the Port G  
configuration register. In the slave mode, the shift clock  
stops after 8 clock pulses. Table 11 summarizes the bit  
settings required for Master mode of operation.

12.1 MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION  
Setting the BUSY bit in the PSW register causes the  
MICROWIRE/PLUS to start shifting the data. It gets reset  
when eight data bits have been shifted. The user may reset  
the BUSY bit by software to allow less than 8 bits to shift. If

The user must set the BUSY flag immediately upon entering  
the Slave mode. This ensures that all data bits sent by the  
Master is shifted properly. After eight clock pulses the BUSY  
flag is clear, the shift clock is stopped, and the sequence  
may be repeated.  
12.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS (Continued)  
12.1.2 MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave Mode Operation  
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave mode of operation the SK  
clock is generated by an external source. Setting the MSEL  
bit in the CNTRL register enables the SO and SK functions  
onto the G Port. The SK pin must be selected as an input  
and the SO pin is selected as an output pin by setting and  
resetting the appropriate bits in the Port G configuration  
register. Table 11 summarizes the settings required to enter  
the Slave mode of operation.  
12.1.3 Alternate SK Phase Operation and SK Idle P  
The device allows either the normal SK clock or an alternate  
phase SK clock to shift data in and out of the SIO register. In  
both the modes the SK idle polarity can be either high or low.  
The polarity is selected by bit 5 of Port G data register. In the  
normal mode data is shifted in on the rising edge of the SK  
clock and the data is shifted out on the falling edge of the SK  
clock. In the alternate SK phase operation, data is shifted in  
on the falling edge of the SK clock and shifted out on the  
rising edge of the SK clock. Bit 6 of Port G configuration  
register selects the SK edge.

nate SK clock. The SKSEL is mapped into the G6 configu-  
ration bit. The SKSEL flag will power up in the reset condi-  
tion, selecting the normal SK signal.

14.3 ADDRESSING MODES  
The instruction set offers a variety of methods for specifying  
memory addresses. Each method is called an addressing  
mode. These modes are classified into two categories: op-  
erand addressing modes and transfer-of-control addressing  
modes. Operand addressing modes are the various meth-  
ods of specifying an address for accessing (reading or writ-  
ing) data. Transfer-of-control addressing modes are used in  
conjunction with jump instructions to control the execution  
sequence of the software program.

Register  
B or X Indirect with Post-Incrementing/  
Decrementing. The relevant memory address is specified  
by the contents of the B Register or X register (pointer  
register). The pointer register is automatically incremented  
or decremented after execution, allowing easy manipulation  
of memory blocks with software loops. In assembly lan-  
guage, the notation [B+], [B−], [X+], or [X−] specifies which  
register serves as the pointer, and whether the pointer is to  
be incremented or decremented.  
14.3.1 Operand Addressing Modes  
The operand of an instruction specifies what memory loca-  
tion is to be affected by that instruction. Several different  
operand addressing modes are available, allowing memory  
locations to be specified in a variety of ways. An instruction  
can specify an address directly by supplying the specific  
address, or indirectly by specifying a register pointer. The  
contents of the register (or in some cases, two registers)  
point to the desired memory location. In the immediate  
mode, the data byte to be used is contained in the instruction  
itself.

Each addressing mode has its own advantages and disad-  
vantages with respect to flexibility, execution speed, and  
program compactness. Not all modes are available with all  
instructions. The Load (LD) instruction offers the largest  
number of addressing modes.

Jump Relative. In this 1-byte instruction, six bits of the  
instruction opcode specify the distance of the jump from the  
current program memory location. The distance of the jump  
can range from −31 to +32. A JP+1 instruction is not allowed.  
The programmer should use a NOP instead.

Indirect from Program Memory. This is a special case of  
an indirect instruction that allows access to data tables  
stored in program memory. In the “Load Accumulator Indi-  
rect” (LAID) instruction, the upper and lower bytes of the  
Program Counter (PCU and PCL) are used temporarily as a  
pointer to program memory. For purposes of accessing pro-  
gram memory, the contents of the Accumulator and PCL are  
exchanged. The data pointed to by the Program Counter is  
loaded into the Accumulator, and simultaneously, the original  
contents of PCL are restored so that the program can re-  
sume normal execution.  
(This restriction is relevant only in devices using more than  
one 4 kbyte program memory space.)

14.3.2 Tranfer-of-Control Addressing Modes  
PCL  
Program instructions are usually executed in sequential or-  
der. However, Jump instructions can be used to change the  
normal execution sequence. Several transfer-of-control ad-  
dressing modes are available to specify jump addresses.  
Jump Indirect. In this 1-byte instruction, the lower byte of  
the jump address is obtained from a table stored in program  
memory, with the Accumulator serving as the low order byte  
of a pointer into program memory. For purposes of access-  
ing program memory, the contents of the Accumulator are  
written to PCL (temporarily). The data pointed to by the  
Program Counter (PCH/PCL) is loaded into PCL, while PCH  
remains unchanged.  
A change in program flow requires a non-incremental  
change in the Program Counter contents. The Program  
Counter consists of two bytes, designated the upper byte  
(PCU) and lower byte (PCL). The most significant bit of PCU  
is not used, leaving 15 bits to address the program memory.  
Example: Jump Indirect  
JID  
Different addressing modes are used to specify the new  
address for the Program Counter. The choice of addressing  
mode depends primarily on the distance of the jump. Farther  
jumps sometimes require more instruction bytes in order to  
completely specify the new Program Counter contents.

The VIS instruction is a special case of the Indirect Transfer  
of Control addressing mode, where the double-byte vector  
associated with the interrupt is transferred from adjacent  
addresses in program memory into the Program Counter in  
order to jump to the associated interrupt service routine.  
14.4.4 Logical Instructions  
The logical instructions perform the operations AND, OR,  
and XOR (Exclusive OR). Other logical operations can be  
performed by combining these basic operations. For ex-  
ample, complementing is accomplished by exclusiveORing  
the Accumulator with FF Hex.  
14.4 INSTRUCTION TYPES  
The instruction set contains a wide variety of instructions.  
The available instructions are listed below, organized into  
related groups.  
Logical AND (AND)  
Logical OR (OR)  
Exclusive OR (XOR)  
Some instructions test a condition and skip the next instruc-  
tion if the condition is not true. Skipped instructions are  
executed as no-operation (NOP) instructions.  
14.4.5 Accumulator Bit Manipulation Instructions  
The Accumulator bit manipulation instructions allow the user  
to shift the Accumulator bits and to swap its two nibbles.  
14.4.1 Arithmetic Instructions  
Rotate Right Through Carry (RRC)  
Rotate Left Through Carry (RLC)  
Swap Nibbles of Accumulator (SWAP)  
The arithmetic instructions perform binary arithmetic such as  
addition and subtraction, with or without the Carry bit.  
Add (ADD)  
Add with Carry (ADC)  
Subtract (SUB)  
14.4.6 Stack Control Instructions  
Push Data onto Stack (PUSH)  
Pop Data off of Stack (POP)  
Subtract with Carry (SUBC)  
Increment (INC)  
Decrement (DEC)  
Decimal Correct (DCOR)  
Clear Accumulator (CLR)  
Set Carry (SC)  
14.4.7 Memory Bit Manipulation Instructions  
The memory bit manipulation instructions allow the user to  
set and reset individual bits in memory.  
Set Bit (SBIT)  
Reset Bit (RBIT)  
Reset Carry (RC)  
Reset Pending Bit (RPND)  
14.4.2 Transfer-of-Control Instructions  
14.4.8 Conditional Instructions  
The transfer-of-control instructions change the usual se-  
quential program flow by altering the contents of the Pro-  
gram Counter. The Jump to Subroutine instructions save the  
Program Counter contents on the stack before jumping; the  
Return instructions pop the top of the stack back into the  
Program Counter.  
The conditional instruction test a condition. If the condition is  
true, the next instruction is executed in the normal manner; if  
the condition is false, the next instruction is skipped.

The no-operation instruction does nothing, except to occupy  
space in the program memory and time in execution.  
No-Operation (NOP)  
Note: The VIS is a special case of the Indirect Transfer of Control addressing  
mode, where the double byte vector associated with the interrupt is  
transferred from adjacent addresses in the program memory into the  
program counter (PC) in order to jump to the associated interrupt  
service routine.
