differences between Flash an ROM devices within the application.

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 the COP8 family offers a unique  
and code-efficient instruction set - one that provides the  
flexibility, functionality, reduced costs and faster time to mar-  
ket that today’s microcontroller based products require.  
6.0 Architectural Overview  
6.1 EMI REDUCTION  
The COP8TAB9/TAC9 devices incorporate circuitry that  
guards against electromagnetic interference - an 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.  
Code efficiency is important because it enables designers to  
pack more on-chip functionality into less program memory  
space (ROM, OTP or Flash). 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.  
6.5.1 Key Instruction Set Features  
6.2 IN-SYSTEM PROGRAMMING  
The COP8 family incorporates a unique combination of in-  
struction set features, which provide designers with optimum  
code efficiency and program memory utilization.  
The devices include a program in a boot ROM that provides  
the capability, through the MICROWIRE/PLUS serial inter-  
face, to erase, program and read the contents of the Flash  
memory.  
6.5.2 Single Byte/Single Cycle Code Execution  
Additional routines are included in the boot ROM, which can  
be called by the user program, to enable the user to custom-  
ize in-system software update capability if MICROWIRE/  
PLUS is not desired.  
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.  
The contents of the boot ROM have been defined by Na-  
tional. Execution of code from the boot ROM is dependent  
on the state of the FLEX bit in the Option Register on exit  
from RESET. If the FLEX bit is a zero, the Flash Memory is  
assumed to be empty and execution from the boot ROM  
begins.  
6.3 TRUE IN-SYSTEM EMULATION  
6.5.3 Many Single-Byte, Multi-Function Instructions  
On-chip emulation capability has been added which allows  
the user to perform true in-system emulation using final  
production boards and devices. This simplifies testing and  
evaluation of software in real environmental conditions. The  
user, merely by providing for a standard connector which can  
be bypassed by jumpers on the final application board, can  
provide for software and hardware debugging using actual  
production units.  
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-  
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.  
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).  
6.4 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 constant data tables need to be con-  
tained in non-volatile memory, so they are not lost when the  
microcontroller is powered down. In a modified Harvard ar-  
chitecture, 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.  
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 (simplifying “FOR NEXT” or  
other loop structures 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.  
6.5.4 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.  
6.5 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

troller users try to avoid using large packages to get the I/O  
needed. Large packages take valuable board space and  
increase device cost, two trade-offs that microcontroller de-  
signs can ill afford.  
6.0 Architectural Overview (Continued)  
6.5.5 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). Fifteen (15) memory-mapped registers allow  
designers to optimize the precise implementation of certain  
specific instructions.  
The COP8 family offers a wide range of packages to mni-  
mize the need for unused pins.  
6.6 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-

speakers. This flexibility helps to ensure a cleaner design,  
with fewer external components and lower costs. Below is  
the general description of all available pins.  
9.0 Pin Descriptions  
The COP8TAB9/TAC9 I/O structure enables designers to  
reconfigure the microcontroller’s I/O functions with a single  
instruction. 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 ex-  
ample 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 elimi-  
nates the need for external pull-up resistors. The high cur-  
rent options are available for driving LEDs, motors and  
VCC and GND are the power supply pins.  
Users of the LLP package are cautioned to be aware that the  
central metal area and the pin 1 index mark on the bottom of  
the package may be internally connected to GND. See figure  
below:

C2 Multi-Input Wake-Up  
C1 Multi-Input Wake-Up  
C0 Multi-Input Wake-Up  
9.0 Pin Descriptions (Continued)  
Port G is an 8-bit port. Pin G0, G2–G5 are bi-directional I/O  
ports. Pin G6 is always a general purpose Hi-Z input. All G  
pins have Schmitt Triggers on their inputs. Pin G1 serves as  
the dedicated WATCHDOG output with weak pull-up if  
the WATCHDOG feature is selected by the Option regis-  
ter. 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.  
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 zeros.  
20047520  
FIGURE 5. LLP Package Bottom View  
CKI is the clock input. This pin can be connected (in con-  
junction with CKO) to an external crystal circuit to form a  
crystal oscillator, to an external resistor for RC oscillator  
operation or to an external clock. See Oscillator Description  
section.  
The 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.  
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.  
The device contains up to five bidirectional 8-bit I/O ports (C,  
F, G, J and L), where each individual bit may be indepen-  
dently configured as an input (Schmitt trigger inputs on all  
ports), 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 three associated 8-bit  
memory mapped registers, the CONFIGURATION register,  
the output DATA register and the Pin input register. (See the  
memory map for the various addresses associated with the  
I/O ports.) Figure 6 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 below:

Port C supports the Multi-Input Wake-Up feature on all eight  
pins. Port C is not available on 20 and 28 pin packages.  
When using these packages, the user should ensure that  
Port C Multi-Input Wake-Up is disabled by clearing the  
CWKEN Register to prevent spurious interrupts and  
wake-up events. Port C has the following alternate pin func-  
tions:  
Port J is an 8-bit I/O port. All J pins have Schmitt triggers on  
the inputs. At RESET, Port J outputs are enabled and are  
forced to the High state.  
Port L is an 8-bit I/O port. All L-pins have Schmitt triggers on  
the inputs.  
Pins L0 (SDA), L1 (SCL) and L2 inputs provide compatibility  
with 1.8V logic levels when LVCMP (Option Register bit 7) is  
set and the ACCESS.Bus is enabled.

9.1 EMULATION CONNECTION  
9.0 Pin Descriptions (Continued)  
Connection to the emulation system is made via a 2 x 7  
connector which interrupts the continuity of the RESET, G0,  
G1, G2 and G3 signals between the COP8 device and the  
rest of the target system (as shown in Figure 9). This con-  
nector can be designed into the production pc board and can  
be replaced by jumpers or signal traces when emulation is  
no longer necessary. The emulator will replicate all functions  
of G0 - G3 and RESET. For proper operation, no connection  
should be made on the device side of the emulator connec-  
tor.

10.0 Functional Description  
The architecture of the device is a modified Harvard archi-  
tecture. With the Harvard architecture, the program memory  
(Flash) is separate from the data store memory (RAM). Both  
Program Memory and Data Memory have their own separate  
addressing space with separate address buses. The archi-  
tecture, though based on the Harvard architecture, permits  
transfer of data from Flash Memory to RAM.

10.2 PROGRAM MEMORY  
10.0 Functional Description  
The program memory consists of 4096 bytes of Flash  
Memory. These bytes may hold program instructions or con-  
stant 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 00FF Hex. The program memory  
reads 00 Hex in the erased state. Program execution starts  
at location 0 after RESET.  
(Continued)  
There are five CPU registers:  
A is the 8-bit Accumulator Register  
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)  
B is an 8-bit RAM address pointer, which can be optionally  
post auto incremented or decremented.  
If a Return instruction is executed when the SP contains 6F  
(hex), instruction execution will continue from Program  
Memory location 7FFF (hex). If location 7FFF is accessed by  
an instruction fetch, the Flash Memory will return a value of  
00. This is the opcode for the INTR instruction and will cause  
a Software Trap.  
X is an 8-bit alternate RAM address pointer, which can be  
optionally post auto incremented or decremented.  
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 06F Hex. The SP is decremented as items are  
pushed onto the stack. SP points to the next available loca-  
tion on the stack.  
For the purpose of erasing and rewriting the Flash Memory,  
it is organized in pages of 512 bytes as shown in Table 1.  
All the CPU registers are memory mapped with the excep-  
tion of the Accumulator (A) and the Program Counter (PC).

10.3 DATA MEMORY  
The format of the Option register is as follows:  
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, ACCESS.Bus Interface and the various registers  
and counters associated with the timer, T1. Data memory is  
addressed directly by the instruction or indirectly by the B, X  
and SP pointers.

Bit 6  
When this bit is set and the ACCESS.Bus is en-  
abled, inputs L0, L1 and L2, are compatible with  
1.8V logic levels.  
This bit defines the most significant bit of the os-  
cillator selection. (See Section 10.7 OSCILLATOR  
CIRCUITS) for more information on Oscillator  
selection.)  
The data memory consists of 128 bytes of RAM. Sixteen  
bytes of RAM are mapped as “registers” at addresses 0F0 to  
0FF 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 respectively, with the  
other registers being available for general usage.  
Bit 5  
= 1  
Security enabled. Flash Memory read and write  
are not allowed except in User ISP/Virtual E2 com-  
mands. Mass Erase is allowed.  
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.

Security disabled. Flash Memory read and write

The Option register, located at address 0x0FFF (hex) or  
0x07FF (hex) in the Flash Program Memory, is used to  
configure the user selectable security, WATCHDOG, HALT  
and Oscillator selection options. The register can be pro-  
grammed only in external Flash Memory programming or  
ISP Programming modes. Therefore, the register must be  
programmed at the same time as the program memory. The  
contents of the Option register shipped from the factory read  
00 Hex.

10.6 RESET  
The device is initialized when the RESET pin is pulled low or  
the On-chip Power-On Reset is activated.  
The COP8 assembler defines a special ROM section type,  
CONF, into which the Option Register data may be coded.  
The Option Register is programmed automatically by pro-  
grammers that are certified by National.  
The user needs to ensure that the FLEX bit will be set when  
the device is programmed.  
The following examples illustrate the declaration of the Op-  
tion Register.

10.5 SECURITY  
The device has a security feature which, when enabled,  
prevents external reading of the Flash program memory. The  
security bit in the Option Register determines, whether se-  
curity is enabled or disabled. If the security feature is dis-  
abled, the contents of the internal Flash Memory may be  
read by external programmers or by the built in  
MICROWIRE/PLUS serial interface ISP. Security must be  
enforced by the user when the contents of the Flash  
Memory are accessed via the user ISP.

ISP CONTROL:  
If the security feature is enabled, then any attempt to exter-  
nally read the contents of the Flash Memory will result in the  
value FF (hex) being read from all program locations (except  
the Option Register). In addition, with the security feature  
enabled, the write operation to the Flash program memory  
and Option Register is inhibited. Page Erases are also inhib-  
ited when the security feature is enabled. The Option Reg-  
ister is readable regardless of the state of the security bit by  
accessing location FFFF (hex). Mass Erase Operations are  
possible regardless of the state of the security bit.

WATCHDOG service window bits set and the Clock Moni-  
tor bit set. The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor circuits  
are inhibited during reset. The WATCHDOG service win-  
dow bits being initialized high default to the maximum  
WATCHDOG service window of 64k T0 clock cycles. The  
Clock Monitor bit being initialized high will cause a Clock  
The security bit can be erased only by a Mass Erase of the  
entire contents of the Flash unless Flash operation is under  
the control of User ISP functions.

dependent on the Flash Memory size and is defined in Table

tC. After the underflow, the logic is designed such that the  
Power On Reset circuit will generate no additional internal  
resets as long as VCC remains above 2.0V.  
10.0 Functional Description  
(Continued)  
Note: The POR feature of the COP8TAB9/TAC9 is not intended to function as  
a brownout detector. A brownout condition is reached whenever VCC  
of the device goes below the minimum guaranteed operating condi-  
tions. The minimum guaranteed operating conditions are defined in the  
Electrical Specifications. We strongly recommend the use of an exter-  
nal supervisory circuit which ensures that the COP8 device is held in  
the RESET state until Vcc has recovered to the minimum operating  
conditions as stated above.  
Monitor error following 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 output  
on pin G1. This error output will continue until 16–32 T0  
clock cycles following the clock frequency reaching the  
minimum specified value, at which time the G1 output will  
go high.  
The contents of data registers and RAM are unknown fol-  
lowing the on-chip reset.  
10.6.1 External Reset  
The RESET input, when pulled low, initializes the device.  
The RESET pin must be held low for a minimum of one  
instruction cycle to guarantee a valid reset. An R/C circuit on  
the RESET pin with a delay 5 times (5x) greater than the  
power supply rise time is recommended. Reset should also  
be long enough to ensure crystal start-up upon Power-Up.  
RESET may also be used to cause an exit from the HALT  
mode.  
Note: Flash memory may be non-volatile, but it is not invulnerable. Any  
controller which features the capability for the software to modify the  
contents of the Flash memory is susceptible to inadvertent writes or  
erases any time V  
is below the minimum guaranteed operating  
CC  
conditions, the clock is running and the device is not held in Reset. For  
this reason, we recommend the use of external brownout detection  
any time V  
drops below the minimum guaranteed V /Frequency

10.7 OSCILLATOR CIRCUITS  
There are five clock oscillator options available: fully internal  
R/C Oscillator, R/C Oscillator with external frequency deter-  
mination resistor, Crystal Oscillator with or without on-chip  
bias resistor and External Oscillator. The oscillator feature is  
selected by programming the Option Byte, which is summa-  
rized in Table 2.  
FIGURE 11. Reset Circuit Using External Reset  
10.6.2 On-Chip Power-On Reset  
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 20 µs and 10 ms).  
TABLE 2. Oscillator Option  
Under no circumstances should the RESET pin be allowed  
to float. If the on-chip Power-On Reset feature is being used,  
RESET pin should be connected to VCC , either directly or  
through a pull-up resistor. If forced operation from the Boot  
ROM is anticipated, a pull-up resistor should always be used  
so that the ISP circuit can override the RESET circuit and  
force the RESET pin low. The output of the power-on reset  
detector will always preset the Idle timer to 00FF(256 tC). At  
this time, the internal reset will be generated.

10.7.1 R/C Oscillator  
The device features an R/C oscillator with two modes of  
operation:  
1. R/C with internal R operating at a fixed frequency (R/C  
mode)  
2. R/C with external frequency control resistor (R/C+R  
mode).  
If the Oscillator Selection bits of the Option Byte remain  
unprogrammed (equal to zero), the internal R/C Oscillator  
mode will be selected. In internal R/C oscillation mode, CKI  
may be left unconnected, while G7/CKO is available as a  
general purpose input G7 and/or HALT control. The internal  
R/C oscillator has on-chip resistor and capacitor for prede-  
termined R/C oscillator frequency operation. The predeter-  
mined frequency is 10 MHz 20% for temperature range of  
−40˚C to +85˚C.  
20047525  
FIGURE 14. Crystal Oscillator With External Bias  
Resistor  
The R/C Oscillator with external frequency control resistor  
mode (R/C+R) can be selected by programming Option Bit 3  
to 1 and Option Bits 6 and 4 to 0. In R/C+R mode, the  
frequency of oscillation is controlled by the current through a  
resistor connected from the CKI pin to GND. G7/CKO is  
available as a general purpose input G7 and/or HALT con-  
trol. The maximum frequency is 10 MHz 20% for tempera-  
ture range of −40˚C to +85˚C. For lower frequencies, an  
external resistor should be connected between CKI and  
GND. PC board trace length on the CKI pin should be kept  
as short as possible.  
20047526  
Table 3 shows the oscillator frequency as a function of  
approximate external resistance on the CKI pin. Figure 16  
shows the R/C oscillator configuration.

The PSW register contains the following select bits:  
The device is equipped with a programmable clock prescaler  
which allows the user to dynamically adjust the clock speed,  
and thus the power dissipation, to the processing needs of  
the application. By merely writing an eight-bit value to the  
CLKPS register, the user can divide the input oscillator clock  
by an integer multiple (1256) and reduce the CPU clock  
frequency. The format of the CLKPS Register is shown in  
Table 5. The value written to the CLKPS register is one less  
than the desired divider. A value of 0 (zero) written to the  
CLKPS register yields a CPU clock equal to the input clock  
frequency. A value of 255 written to the CLKPS register  
yields a CPU clock with a period equal to 256 input clock  
periods.

As described in Section 10.4 OPTION REGISTER, there is a  
bit, FLEX, that controls whether the device exits RESET  
executing from the Flash memory or the Boot ROM. The  
user must program the FLEX bit as appropriate for the  
application. In the erased state, the FLEX bit = 0 and the  
device will power-up executing from Boot ROM. When FLEX  
= 0, this assumes that either the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP  
routine or external programming is being used to program  
the device. If using the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine, the  
software in the boot ROM will monitor the MICROWIRE/  
PLUS for commands to program the Flash memory. When  
programming the Flash program memory is complete, the  
FLEX bit will have to be programmed to a 1 and the device  
will have to be reset, either by pulling external Reset to  
ground or by a MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP EXIT command,  
before execution from Flash program memory will occur.

If FLEX = 1, upon exiting Reset, the device will begin ex-

The assumption, here, is that either the application is not  
using ISP, is using MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP by jumping to it  
within the application code, or is using a customized ISP  
routine. If a customized ISP routine is being used, then it  
must be programmed into the Flash memory by means of  
the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP or external programming as  
described in the preceding paragraph.  
11.0 In-System Programming  
11.1 INTRODUCTION  
This device provides the capability to program the program  
memory while installed in an application board. This feature  
is called In System Programming (ISP). It provides a means  
of ISP by using the MICROWIRE/PLUS, or the user can  
provide his own, customized ISP routine. The factory in-  
stalled ISP uses the MICROWIRE/PLUS port. The user can  
provide his own ISP routine that uses any of the capabilities  
of the device, such as ACCESS.Bus, parallel port, etc. The  
user is cautioned, however, to remove all calls to Boot ROM  
functions prior to submission of code for ROM generation  
and production in COP8TAx5 devices.  
11.3 REGISTERS  
There are six registers required to support ISP: Address  
Register Hi byte (ISPADHI), Address Register Low byte  
(ISPADLO), Read Data Register (ISPRD), Write Data Reg-  
ister (ISPWR), Write Timing Register (PGMTIM), and the  
Control Register (ISPCNTRL). The ISPCNTRL Register is  
not available to the user. None of these six registers, which  
support ISP, have been implemented in the COP8TAx5 ROM  
based devices.  
11.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The organization of the ISP feature consists of the user  
Flash program memory, the factory boot ROM, and some  
registers dedicated to performing the ISP function. See Fig-  
ure 17 for a simplified block diagram. The factory installed  
ISP that uses MICROWIRE/PLUS is located in the Boot  
ROM. The size of the Boot ROM is 1k bytes and also  
contains code to facilitate in system emulation capability. If a  
user chooses to write an application specific ISP routine, it  
must be located in the Flash program memory.  
11.3.1 ISP Address Registers  
The address registers (ISPADHI & ISPADLO) are used to  
specify the address of the byte of data being written or read.  
For page erase operations, the address of the beginning of  
the page should be loaded. For mass erase operations,  
0000 must be placed into the address registers. When read-  
ing the Option register, 07FF (hex) should be placed into the  
address registers of COP8TAB9 devices and 0FFF (hex)  
21  
www.national.com  
11.3.3 ISP Write Data Register  
11.0 In-System Programming  
The Write Data Register (ISPWR) contains the data to be  
written into the specified address. This register is undeter-  
mined on Reset.  
(Continued)  
should be placed into the address registers of COP8TAC9  
devices. Registers ISPADHI and ISPADLO are cleared to 00  
on Reset.  
TABLE 9. ISP Write Data Register  
Note: The actual memory address of the Option Register is  
0x0FFF (hex), however the MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routines  
require the address FFFF (hex) to be used to read the  
Option Register when the Flash Memory is secured.

11.3.4 ISP Write Timing Register  
TABLE 6. High Byte of ISP Address  
The Write Timing Register (PGMTIM) is used to control the  
width of the timing pulses for write and erase operations. The  
value to be written into this register is dependent on the  
frequency of CKI and is shown in Table 10. This register  
must be written before any write or erase operation can take  
place. It only needs to be loaded once, for each value of CKI  
frequency. The MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP routine that is resi-  
dent in the boot ROM requires that this register be defined  
prior to any access to the Flash memory. Refer to Section  
11.7 MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP for more information on avail-  
able ISP commands. On Reset, the PGMTIM register is  
loaded with the value that corresponds to 10 MHz frequency  
for CKI. The best choice for value of PGMTIM will center the  
operating frequency in the CKI Frequency Range.

the Flex bit has been erased by specific Page Erase or Mass  
Erase ISP commands, execution will start from location 0000  
in the Flash program memory. The forced entry to  
MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP mode will not erase either the Flex  
or the Security bit in the Option Register. The Security bit, if  
set, can only be erased by a Mass Erase of the entire  
contents of the Flash Memory unless under the control of  
User ISP routines in the Application Program.  
11.0 In-System Programming  
(Continued)  
11.4 MANEUVERING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN  
FLASH MEMORY AND BOOT ROM  
When using ISP, at some point, it will be necessary to  
maneuver between the Flash program memory and the Boot  
ROM, even when using customized ISP routines. This is  
because it’s not possible to execute from the Flash program  
memory while it’s being programmed.  
The MICROWIRE/PLUS routine in Boot ROM monitors the  
G6 input, waits for it to go low, debounces it, and then  
enables the ISP routine. The user may wish to disconnect  
other circuitry while RESET, G0, G2 and the MICROWIRE/  
PLUS pins are in use for ISP.  
Two instructions are available to perform the jumping back  
and forth: Jump to Boot (JSRB) and Return to Flash (RETF).  
The JSRB instruction is used to jump from Flash memory to  
Boot ROM, and the RETF is used to return from the Boot  
ROM back to the Flash program memory. See Section 19.0  
Instruction Set for specific details on the operation of these  
instructions.  
The correct sequence to be used to force execution from  
Boot ROM is :  
1. Apply VCC to the device.  
2. Pull RESET Low.  
The JSRB instruction must be used in conjunction with the  
Key register. This is to prevent jumping to the Boot ROM in  
the event of run-away software. For the JSRB instruction to  
actually jump to the Boot ROM, the Key bit must be set. This  
is done by writing the value shown in Table 11 to the Key  
register. The Key is a 6 bit key and if the key matches, the  
KEY bit will be set for 8 instruction cycles. The JSRB instruc-  
tion must be executed while the KEY bit is set. If the KEY  
does not match, then the KEY bit will not be set and the  
JSRB will jump to the specified location in the Flash memory.  
In emulation mode, if a breakpoint is encountered while the  
KEY is set, the counter that counts the instruction cycles will  
be frozen until the breakpoint condition is cleared. If an  
interrupt occurs while the key is set, the key will expire  
before interrupt service is complete. It is recommended  
that the software globally disable interrupts before set-  
ting the key and re-enable interrupts on completion of  
Boot ROM execution. The Key register is a memory  
mapped register. Its format when writing is shown in Table  
11.  
3. Using G2 as a shift clock, shift a value of 5E38AC(hex)  
into the G0 pin least significant bit first.  
4. Pull RESET High.  
5. Pull G6 low and initiate the MICORWIRE/PLUS commu-  
nication.  
11.6 RETURN TO FLASH MEMORY WITHOUT  
HARDWARE RESET  
After programming the entire program memory, including  
options, it is necessary to exit the Boot ROM and return to  
the Flash program memory for program execution. Upon  
receipt and completion of the EXIT command through the  
MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP, the ISP code will reset the part and  
begin execution from the Flash program memory as de-  
scribed in the Reset section. This assumes that the FLEX bit  
in the Option register was programmed to 1.  
11.7 MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP  
National Semiconductor provides a program, which is avail-  
able from our web site at www.national.com/cop8, that is  
capable of programming a device from the parallel port of a  
PC. The software accepts manually input commands and is  
capable of downloading standard Intel HEX Format files.

The MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP supports the following features  
and commands:  
11.5 FORCED EXECUTION FROM BOOT ROM  
When the user is developing a customized ISP routine, code  
lockups due to software errors may be encountered. The  
normal, and preferred, method to recover from these condi-  
tions is to reprogram the device with the corrected code by  
either an external parallel programmer or the emulation  
tools. As a last resort, when this equipment is not available,  
there is a hardware method to get out of these lockups and  
force execution from the Boot ROM MICROWIRE/PLUS  
routine. The customer will then be able to erase the Flash  
Memory code and start over.  
Write a value to the ISP Write Timing Register. NOTE:  
This must be the first command after entering  
MICROWIRE/PLUS ISP mode.  
Erase the entire Flash program memory (mass erase).  
Erase a page at a specified address.  
Read Option register.  
Read a byte from a specified address.  
Write a byte to a specified address.  
Read multiple bytes starting at a specified address.  
Write multiple bytes starting at a specified address.

The method to force this condition is to shift a 24 bit code

Bits 11 through 15 of the ITMR register can be selected for  
triggering the IDLE Timer interrupt. Each time the selected  
bit underflows (every 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k or 64k selected  
clocks), the IDLE Timer interrupt pending bit T0PND is set,  
thus generating an interrupt (if enabled), and bit 6 of the Port  
G data register is reset, thus causing an exit from the IDLE  
mode if the device is in that mode.  
12.0 Timers  
The device contains a very versatile set of timers (T0 and  
T1). Timer T1 and associated autoreload/capture registers  
power up containing random data.  
12.1 TIMER T0 (IDLE TIMER)  
The 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, which is a  
16-bit timer. The user cannot read or write to the IDLE Timer  
T0, which is a count down timer.  
In order for an interrupt to be generated, the IDLE Timer  
interrupt enable bit T0EN must be set, and the GIE (Global  
Interrupt Enable) bit must also be set. The T0PND flag and  
T0EN bit are bits 5 and 4 of the ICNTRL register, respec-  
tively. The interrupt can be used for any purpose. Typically, it  
is used to perform a task upon exit from the IDLE mode. For  
more information on the IDLE mode, refer to Section 13.2  
IDLE MODE.  
The clock to the IDLE Timer is the instruction cycle clock  
(one-tenth of the CKI frequency).  
In addition to its time base function, the Timer T0 supports  
the following functions:  
The Idle Timer period is selected by bits 0–2 of the ITMR  
register Bit 3 of the ITMR Register is reserved and should  
not be used as a software flag. Bits 4 through 7 of the ITMR  
Register are reserved and must be zero.

interrupt when a timer underflow causes the R1B register to  
be reloaded into the timer. Resetting the timer enable flags  
will disable the associated interrupts.  
12.0 Timers (Continued)  
12.2 TIMER T1  
One of the main functions of a microcontroller is to provide  
timing and counting capability for real-time control tasks. The  
COP8 family offers a very versatile 16-bit timer/counter  
structure, and two supporting 16-bit autoreload/capture reg-  
isters (R1A and R1B), optimized to reduce software burdens  
in real-time control applications. The timer block has two pins  
associated with it, T1A and T1B. Pin T1A supports I/O re-  
quired by the timer block, while pin T1B is an input to the  
timer block.  
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.  
The timer block has three operating modes: Processor Inde-  
pendent PWM mode, External Event Counter mode, and  
Input Capture mode.  
The control bits T1C3, T1C2, and T1C1 allow selection of the  
different modes of operation.  
12.3 MODE 1. PROCESSOR INDEPENDENT PWM  
MODE  
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).  
20047531  
FIGURE 19. Timer in PWM Mode  
12.4 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, T1, is clocked by the input signal from the T1A pin. The  
T1 timer control bits, T1C3, T1C2 and T1C1 allow the timer  
to be clocked either on a positive or negative edge from the  
T1A pin. Underflows from the timer are latched into the  
T1PNDA pending flag. Setting the T1ENA control flag will  
cause an interrupt when the timer underflows.  
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.  
In this mode the input pin T1B can be used as an indepen-  
dent positive edge sensitive interrupt input if the T1ENB  
control flag is set. The occurrence of a positive edge on the  
T1B input pin is latched into the T1PNDB flag.  
In this mode, the timer T1 counts down at a fixed rate of tC.  
Upon every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with  
the contents of supporting registers, R1A and R1B. The very  
first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from  
the register R1A. Subsequent underflows cause the timer to  
be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the  
register R1B.  
Figure 20 shows a block diagram of the timer in External  
Event Counter mode.  
Note: The PWM output is not available in this mode since the T1A pin is  
being used as the counter input clock.  
The T1 Timer control bits, T1C3, T1C2 and T1C1 set up the  
timer for PWM mode operation.  
Figure 19 shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.  
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the T1A output  
pin. The underflows can also be programmed to generate  
interrupts.  
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two  
pending flags, T1PNDA and T1PNDB. The user must reset  
these pending flags under software control. Two control  
enable flags, T1ENA and T1ENB, allow the interrupts from  
the timer underflow to be enabled or disabled. Setting the  
timer enable flag T1ENA will cause an interrupt when a timer  
underflow causes the R1A register to be reloaded into the  
timer. Setting the timer enable flag T1ENB will cause an

fied either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger  
condition for each input pin can be specified independently.  
12.0 Timers (Continued)  
The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate  
interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger condition  
on the T1A and T1B pins will be respectively latched into the  
pending flags, T1PNDA and T1PNDB. The control flag  
T1ENA allows the interrupt on T1A to be either enabled or  
disabled. Setting the T1ENA flag enables interrupts to be  
generated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the  
T1A pin. Similarly, the flag T1ENB controls the interrupts  
from the T1B pin.  
Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to gen-  
erate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer T1C0  
pending flag (the T1C0 control bit serves as the timer under-  
flow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture mode). Con-  
sequently, the T1C0 control bit should be reset when enter-  
ing the Input Capture mode. The timer underflow interrupt is  
enabled with the T1ENA control flag. When a T1A interrupt  
occurs in the Input Capture mode, the user must check both  
the T1PNDA and T1C0 pending flags in order to determine  
whether a T1A input capture or a timer underflow (or both)  
caused the interrupt.  
20047532  
FIGURE 20. Timer in External Event Counter Mode  
12.5 MODE 3. INPUT CAPTURE MODE  
Figure 21 shows a block diagram of the timer in Input Cap-  
ture mode.  
The device can precisely measure external frequencies or  
time external events by placing the timer block, T1, 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  
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.  
In this mode, the timer T1 is constantly running at the fixed tC  
rate. The two registers, R1A and R1B, act as capture regis-  
ters. Each register acts in conjunction with a pin. The register  
R1A acts in conjunction with the T1A pin and the register  
R1B acts in conjunction with the T1B pin.

activities are stopped. In the IDLE mode, the on-board os-  
cillator 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.  
13.0 Power Save Modes  
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.  
Clock Monitor if enabled can be active in both modes.  
13.1 HALT MODE  
The 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 device is disabled during the HALT mode.  
However, the clock monitor circuitry, if enabled, remains  
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 device comes out of reset (resetting the  
Clock Monitor control bit with the first write to the WDSVR  
register). In the HALT mode, the power requirements of the  
device are minimal and the applied voltage (VCC) may be  
decreased to Vr (Vr = 2.0V) without altering the state of the  
machine.  
The COP8TAx devices offer system designers a variety of  
low-power consumption features that enable them to meet  
the demanding 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 Wake-Up (MIWU).  
The device supports three different ways of exiting the HALT  
mode. The first method of exiting the HALT mode is with the  
Multi-Input Wake-Up feature on Port L and Port C. The  
The devices offer the user two power save modes of opera-  
tion: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode, all microcontroller

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.  
13.0 Power Save Modes (Continued)  
second method is with a low to high transition on the CKO  
(G7) pin. This method precludes the use of the crystal clock  
configuration (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.  
The 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 Option Byte. 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”).  
Since a crystal or ceramic resonator may be selected as the  
oscillator, the Multi-Input Wake-Up 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 amplitude 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 Multi-Input Wake-Up  
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 10. 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.  
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.  
20047534  
FIGURE 22. Multi-Input Wake-Up from HALT  
13.2 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 Wake-Up  
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.

13.3 MULTI-INPUT WAKE-UP  
ing bit in CWKPND or LWKPND remains set until cleared by  
software. The device will not enter HALT or IDLE mode if any  
Wake-Up input is both enabled and pending.  
The Multi-Input Wake-Up feature is used to exit from the  
HALT and IDLE modes. In addition, the Multi-Input Wake-  
Up/Interrupt feature may be used to generate up to 16  
edge-selectable external interrupts on the 44-pin devices or  
8 interrupts on the 20- and 28-pin devices. Figure 24 shows  
the Multi-Input Wake-Up logic.  
Changing a trigger condition control bit requires several  
steps to avoid generating a spurious Wake-Up event or  
interrupt as a side effect  
First, the corresponding CWKEN or LWKEN bit should be  
cleared to disable any Wake-Up event or interrupt for that  
port pin.  
The Multi-Input Wake-Up feature uses the C and L ports.  
(The 20- and 28-pin devices only have the L port.) Software  
selects which port bit (or set of port bits) may cause the  
device to exit the HALT or IDLE modes. The selection is  
controlled by the CWKEN and LWKEN registers. These  
registers are 8-bit read/write registers, which contain control  
bits that correspond to the C and L port bits. Setting a  
CWKEN or LWKEN bit enables a Wake-Up event or interrupt  
from the associated C or L port pin.  
Second, the trigger condition is selected in CWKEDG or  
LWKEDG.  
Third, any spurious pending event is removed by clearing  
the associated bit in CWKPND or LWKPND.  
Finally, the trigger is re-enabled by setting the associated  
bit in CWKEN or LWKEN.  
An example shows how software performs this procedure.  
Assume the trigger condition for L port bit 5 is to be changed  
from positive (low-to-high transition) to negative (high-to-low  
transition), and bit 5 has previously been enabled for an  
input interrupt. Software would execute the following instruc-  
tions:  
If the ACCESS.Bus module is enabled, port pin L0 may also  
be used to generate a Wake-Up event on ACCESS.Bus  
activity. Please see the section on Section 17.0 ACCESS-  
.Bus Interface for more information.  
Software selects whether the trigger condition on the se-  
lected port pin is a positive edge (low-to-high transition) or a  
negative edge (high-to-low transition). The trigger conditions  
are selected in the CWKEDG and LWKEDG registers, which  
are 8-bit control registers with bits corresponding to the C  
and L port pins. Setting a trigger condition control bit selects  
the negative edge, while clearing the bit selects the positive  
edge.

SBIT 5, LWKEN  
; Enable MIWU Port L.5  
If the C or L port pins have been used as outputs and then  
changed to inputs using the Multi-Input Wake-Up feature, a  
safe procedure should be used to avoid generating a spuri-  
ous Wake-Up event or interrupt. After the selected C or L  
port pins have been changed from output to input, the trigger  
conditions are selected in CWKEDG or LWKEDG and the  
pending bits in CWKPND or LWKPND are cleared. Finally,  
the CWKEN or LWKEN bits are set to enable the desired  
Wake-Up events or interrupts.  
The occurrence of a selected trigger condition is latched in  
the pending registers called CWKPND and LWKPND. The  
bits of these registers correspond to the C and L port pins.  
These bits are set on the occurrence of the selected trigger  
condition on the corresponding port pin, whether or not the  
trigger condition is enabled in CWKEN or LWKEN. Software  
has responsibility for clearing the pending bits before en-  
abling them for Wake-Up events or interrupts. Any set pend-  
The same procedure should be used following reset, be-  
cause the C and L port pins are left floating. The CWKPND

CWKEN and LWKEN are read/write registers that are

enabled following reset. CWKEDG and LWKEDG are also

and LWKPND registers contain undefined values after reset,  
so software should clear these bits after reset to ensure that  
no spurious Wake-Up events or interrupts are left pending.

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.  
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.  
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 instruc-  
tion. If the next normally executed instruction is to be  
skipped, the skip is performed before the pending interrupt is  
acknowledged.  
A maskable interrupt condition triggers an interrupt under the  
following conditions:  
At the start of interrupt acknowledgment, the following ac-  
tions occur:  
1. The enable bit associated with that interrupt is set.  
2. The GIE bit is set.  
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.  
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.)  
2. The address of the instruction about to be executed is  
pushed onto the stack.  
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.  
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.  
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  
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.  
The interrupt service routine stored at location 00FF Hex  
should use the VIS instruction to determine the cause of the  
interrupt, and jump to the interrupt handling routine corre-

next priority interrupt is located at 0yE2 and 0yE3, and so  
forth in increasing rank. The Software Trap has the highest  
rand and its vector is always located at 0yFE and 0yFF. The  
number of interrupts which can become active defines the  
size of the table.  
14.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
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.  
Table 14 shows the types of interrupts, the interrupt arbitra-  
tion ranking, and the locations of the corresponding vectors  
in the vector table.  
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.  
The vector table should be filled by the user with the memory  
locations of the specific interrupt service routines. For ex-  
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.  
An interrupt service routine typically ends with an RETI  
instruction. This instruction set 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.  
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.  
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.  
Note: While executing from the Boot ROM for ISP or virtual  
E2 operations, the hardware will disable interrupts from oc-  
curring. The hardware will leave the GIE bit in its current  
state, and if set, the hardware interrupts will occur when  
execution is returned to Flash Memory. Subsequent inter-  
rupts, during ISP operation, from the same interrupt source  
will be lost.  
14.3 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.  
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-  
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.  
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.  
This technique can save up to fifty instruction cycles (tC), or  
more, (100 µs at 10 MHz oscillator) of latency for pending  
interrupts with a penalty of fewer than ten instruction cycles  
if no further interrupts are pending.  
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.  
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.  
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

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 arbitration  
ranking.  
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 no active interrupt  
is pending, than E0 is generated. This number replaces the  
lower byte of the PC. The upper byte of the PC remains  
unchanged. The new PC is therefore pointing to the vector of  
Figure 26 illustrates the different steps performed by the VIS  
instruction. Figure 27 shows a flowchart for the VIS instruc-  
tion.  
The non-maskable interrupt pending flag is cleared by the  
RPND (Reset Non-Maskable Pending Bit) instruction (under  
certain conditions) and upon RESET.

FIGURE 26. VIS Operation  
14.4 NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT  
14.4.1 Pending Flag  
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.  
There is a pending flag bit associated with the non-maskable  
Software Trap interrupt, called STPND. This pending flag is  
not memory-mapped and cannot be accessed directly by the  
software.  
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  
re-initialize the stack pointer and perform a recovery proce-  
dure that re-starts 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.  
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.  
14.4.2 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.  
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.  
If the program counter incorrectly points to a memory loca-  
tion beyond the programmed Flash memory space, the un-  
used memory location returns zeros which is interpreted as  
the INTR instruction.  
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  
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  
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.  
35

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 ser-  
vice routine (if present). There is no harm in executing extra  
RPND instructions in these parts of the program.

perform a recovery procedure rather than a return to normal

terrupts, during ISP operation, from the same interrupt  
source will be lost.  
Ports C and L provides the user with an additional sixteen  
fully selectable, edge sensitive interrupts which are all vec-  
tored into the same service subroutine.  
15.0 WATCHDOG/Clock Monitor  
The interrupt from Ports C and L share logic with the  
wake-up circuitry. The registers CWKEN and LWKEN allow  
interrupts from Ports C and L to be individually enabled or  
disabled. The register CWKEDG and LWKEDG specify the  
trigger condition to be either a positive or a negative edge.  
Finally, the registers CWKPND and LWKPND latch in the  
pending trigger conditions.  
The devices contain a user selectable WATCHDOG and  
clock monitor. The following section is applicable only if  
WATCHDOG feature has been selected in the Option Byte.  
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 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 GIE (Global Interrupt Enable) bit enables the interrupt  
function.  
A control flag, LPEN, functions as a global interrupt enable  
for Port C and Port L interrupts. Setting the LPEN flag will  
enable interrupts and vice versa. A separate global pending  
flag is not needed since the registers CWKPND and LWK-  
PND are adequate.  
The COP8TAx devices provide the added feature of a soft-  
ware trap that provides protection against stack overpops  
and addressing locations outside valid user program space.  
Since Ports C and L are 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 follow-  
ing the instruction 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 nor-  
mal operation.  
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 15 shows the WDSVR register.  
14.6 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 re-start procedure.

The lower limit of the service window is fixed at 256 instruc-  
tion cycles. Bits 7 and 6 of the WDSVR register allow the  
user to pick an upper limit of the service window.

upper limits for the WATCHDOG service window. This flex-  
ibility in choosing the WATCHDOG service window prevents  
any undue burden on the user software.  
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 routines 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.  
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.

between the lower and upper limits 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.  
15.1 CLOCK MONITOR  
The Clock Monitor aboard the device can be selected or  
deselected under program control. The Clock Monitor is  
guaranteed not to reject the clock if the instruction cycle  
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.  
15.2 WATCHDOG/CLOCK MONITOR OPERATION  
The WATCHDOG is enabled by bit 2 of the Option Byte.  
When this Option bit is 0, the WATCHDOG is enabled and  
pin G1 becomes the WATCHDOG output with a weak pullup.  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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-

15.3 WATCHDOG AND CLOCK MONITOR SUMMARY  
The initial WATCHDOG service must match the key data  
value in the WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR in  
order to avoid a WATCHDOG error.  
The following salient points regarding the WATCHDOG and  
CLOCK MONITOR should be noted:  
Subsequent WATCHDOG services must match all three  
data fields in WDSVR in order to avoid WATCHDOG  
errors.  
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 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 service window and CLOCK MONI-  
TOR enable/disable option can only be changed once,  
during the initial WATCHDOG service following RESET.  
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during both  
the HALT and IDLE modes.  
www.national.com  
38  
This is an undefined ROM location and the instruction  
fetched (all 0’s) from this location will generate a software  
interrupt signaling an illegal condition.  
15.0 WATCHDOG/Clock Monitor  
(Continued)  
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  
2. Over “POP”ing the stack by having more returns than  
calls.  
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.  
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.  
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 256 instruction cycles following HALT, but must be  
serviced within the selected window to avoid a WATCH-  
DOG error.  
16.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS  
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 IDLE timer T0 is not initialized with external RESET.  
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.  
The shift clock can be selected from either an internal source  
or an external source. Operating the MICROWIRE/PLUS  
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.  
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 256 instruction  
cycles following IDLE, but must be serviced within the  
selected window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.  
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 18 details the  
different clock rates that may be selected.  
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 256 instruction cycles without causing a WATCHDOG  
error.  
TABLE 18. MICROWIRE/PLUS  
Master Mode Clock Select  
In order to RESET the device on the occurrence of a  
WATCH event, the user must connect the WDOUT pin  
(G1) pin to the RESET external to the device. The weak  
pull-up on the WDOUT pin is sufficient to provide the  
RESET connection to VCC for devices which use both  
Power On Reset and WATCHDOG.

15.4 DETECTION OF ILLEGAL CONDITIONS  
16.1 MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION  
The device can detect various illegal conditions resulting  
from coding errors, transient noise, power supply voltage  
drops, runaway programs, etc.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
WARNING  
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.

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 19 summarizes the bit  
settings required for Master mode of operation.  
16.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS (Continued)  
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.  
16.2 MICROWIRE/PLUS MASTER MODE OPERATION  
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Master mode of operation the  
shift clock (SK) is generated internally. The MICROWIRE

16.3 MICROWIRE/PLUS SLAVE MODE OPERATION  
Master is shifted properly. After eight clock pulses the BUSY  
flag is clear, the shift clock is stopped, and the sequence  
may be repeated.  
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 19 summarizes the settings required to enter  
the Slave mode of operation.  
16.4 ALTERNATE SK PHASE OPERATION AND SK  
IDLE POLARITY  
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. The SIO register is shifted on each 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.  
This table assumes that the control flag MSEL is set.

Generate a wake-up signal on detection of a Start Con-  
dition, while in reduced-power mode  
One data bit is transferred during each clock period. Data is  
sampled during the high phase of the serial clock (SCL).  
Consequently, throughout the clock high phase, the data  
must remain stable (see Figure 33). Any change on the SDA  
signal during the high phase of the SCL clock and in the  
middle of a transaction aborts the current transaction. New  
data must be driven during the low phase of the SCL clock.  
This protocol permits a single data line to transfer both  
command/control information and data using the synchro-  
nous serial clock.  
Optional internal pull-up on SDA and SCL pins  
Optional 1.8V logic compatibility on SDA and SCL pins  
The ACCESS.Bus protocol uses a two-wire interface for  
bidirectional communication between the devices connected  
to the bus. The two interface signals are the Serial Data Line  
(SDA) and the Serial Clock Line (SCL). These signals should  
be connected to the positive supply, through pull-up resis-  
tors, to keep the signals high when the bus is idle. When the  
ACCESS.Bus module is enabled and Bit 7 of the Option  
Register (LVCMP) is set, the SDA and SCL inputs, along with  
input L2, provide compatibility with 1.8V logic levels.  
20047579  
FIGURE 33. Bit Transfer  
Each data transaction is composed of a Start Condition, a  
number of byte transfers (programmed by software) and a  
Stop Condition to terminate the transaction. Each byte is  
transferred with the most significant bit first, and after each  
byte, an Acknowledge signal must follow.  
www.national.com  
42  
17.1.1 Start and Stop  
17.0 ACCESS.Bus Interface  
The ACCESS.Bus master generates Start and Stop Condi-  
tions (control codes). After a Start Condition is generated,  
the bus is considered busy and it retains this status until a  
certain time after a Stop Condition is generated. A high-to-  
low transition of the data line (SDA) while the clock (SCL) is  
high indicates a Start Condition. A low-to-high transition of  
the SDA line while the SCL is high indicates a Stop Condition  
(Figure 34).  
(Continued)  
At each clock cycle, the slave can stall the master while it  
handles the previous data, or prepares new data. The slave  
can hold SCL low, to extend the clock-low period, on each bit  
transfer, or on a byte boundary, to accomplish this. Typically,  
slaves extend the first clock cycle of a transfer if a byte read  
has not yet been stored, or if the next byte to be transmitted  
is not yet ready. Some microcontrollers, with limited hard-  
ware support for ACCESS.Bus, extend the access after each  
bit, to allow software time to handle this bit.  
20047580  
FIGURE 34. Start and Stop Conditions  
In addition to the first Start Condition, a repeated Start  
Condition can be generated in the middle of a transaction.  
This allows another device to be accessed, or a change in  
the direction of the data transfer.  
arbitration. In master mode, the device immediately aborts a  
transaction if the value sampled on the SDA line differs from  
the value driven by the device.  
When an abort occurs during the address transmission, the  
master that identifies the conflict should give up the bus,  
switch to slave mode, and continue to sample SDA to see if  
it is being addressed by the winning master on the  
ACCESS.Bus.  
17.1.2 Acknowledge Cycle  
The Acknowledge Cycle consists of two signals: the ac-  
knowledge clock pulse the master sends with each byte  
transferred, and the acknowledge signal sent by the receiv-  
ing device.  
17.3 POWER SAVE MODES  
The master generates an acknowledge clock pulse after  
each byte transfer. The receiver sends an acknowledge  
signal after every byte received. There are two exceptions to  
the "acknowledge after every byte" rule.  
When this device is placed in HALT or IDLE mode, the ACB  
module is effectively disabled. Registers ACBST, ACBCST  
and ACBCTL1 are reset, however ACBSDA, ACBADDR and  
ACBCTL2 are unaffected. If the ACB is enabled  
(ACBCTL2.ENABLE = 1) on detection of a Start Condition, a  
wake-up signal is issued to the Multi-Input Wake-Up module.  
The byte transfer which causes the Wake-Up event will not  
be acknowledged by the COP8 ACCESS.Bus and thus must  
be retransmitted. The Multi-Input Wake-Up logic must be  
configured, by the user, to enable Wake-Up on ACCESS.Bus  
transfer. The ACCESS.Bus SDA signal is an alternate func-  
tion of the one of the Multi-Input Wake-Up pins, and thus the  
associated bit of the LWKEN or CWKEN and LWKEDG or  
CWKEDG registers must be configured to cause a Wake-Up  
event on a rising edge. See Figure 24 and the pinout table  
for determination of the Multi-Input Wake-Up channel asso-  
ciated with the ACCESS.Bus.  
When the master is the receiver, it must indicate to the  
transmitter an end-of-data condition by not-  
acknowledging ("negative acknowledge") the last byte  
clocked out of the slave. This "negative acknowledge"  
still includes the acknowledge clock pulse (generated by  
the master), but the SDA line is not pulled down.  
When the receiver is full, otherwise occupied, or a prob-  
lem has occurred, it sends a negative acknowledge to  
indicate that it cannot accept additional data bytes.  
17.1.3 Addressing Transfer Formats  
Each device on the bus has a unique address. Before any  
data is transmitted, the master transmits the address of the  
slave being addressed. The slave device should send an  
acknowledge signal on the SDA signal, once it recognizes its  
address.  
17.4 SDA AND SCL DRIVER CONFIGURATION  
SDA and SCL are driven as open-drain signals on Port L  
signals L0 and L1. If the ACB interface is not being used,  
these pins are available for use as general-purpose port pins  
or Multi-Input Wake-Up inputs.  
17.2 BUS ARBITRATION  
Arbitration is required when multiple master devices attempt  
to gain control of the bus simultaneously. Control of the bus  
is initially determined according to the address bits and clock  
cycle. If the masters are trying to address the same bus  
device, data comparisons determine the outcome of this

TGSCL  
TSDA  
The Toggle SCL bit enables toggling the SCL  
signal during error recovery. When the SDA  
signal is low, writing 1 to this bit drives the  
SCL signal high for one cycle. Writing 1 to  
TGSCL when the SDA signal is high is  
ignored.  
(Continued)  
17.5 ACB SERIAL DATA REGISTER (ACBSDA)  
The ACBSDA register is a byte-wide, read/write shift register  
used to transmit and receive data. The most significant bit is  
transmitted (received) first and the least significant bit is  
transmitted (received) last.  
The Test SDA bit samples the state of the  
SDA signal. This bit can be used while  
recovering from an error condition in which  
the SDA signal is constantly pulled low by a  
slave that has lost synchronization. This bit is  
a read-only bit.

19.0 Instruction Set (Continued)  
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.  
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.  
19.3.1 Operand Addressing Modes  
Example: Exchange Memory with Accumulator, B Indirect  
with Post-Increment  
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.  
Intermediate. The data for the operation follows the instruc-  
tion opcode in program memory. In assembly language, the

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.

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.  
PCL  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Example: Jump Relative  
JP 0A  
19.4 INSTRUCTION TYPES

The available instructions are listed below, organized into  
related groups.

Jump Absolute. In this 2-byte instruction, 12 bits of the  
instruction opcode specify the new contents of the Program  
Counter. The upper three bits of the Program Counter re-  
main unchanged, restricting the new Program Counter ad-  
dress to the same 4-kbyte address space as the current  
instruction. (This restriction is relevant only in devices using  
more than one 4-kbyte program memory space.)  
19.4.1 Arithmetic Instructions  
The arithmetic instructions perform binary arithmetic such as  
addition and subtraction, with or without the Carry bit.  
Add (ADD)  
Add with Carry (ADC)  
Subtract with Carry (SUBC)  
Increment (INC)

19.4.2 Transfer-of-Control Instructions  
Jump Absolute Long. In this 3-byte instruction, 15 bits of  
the instruction opcode specify the new contents of the Pro-  
gram Counter.  
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.

19.4.9 No-Operation Instruction  
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.  
19.4.3 Load and Exchange Instructions  
The load and exchange instructions write byte values in  
registers or memory. The addressing mode determines the  
source of the data.
