Addendum for New QFN  
Package Migration  
This addendum provides the changes to the 98A case outline numbers for products covered in this book.  
Case outlines were changed because of the migration from gold wire to copper wire in some packages. See  
the table below for the old (gold wire) package versus the new (copper wire) package.  
To view the new drawing, go to Freescale.com and search on the new 98A package number for your  
device.  
For more information about QFN package use, see EB806: Electrical Connection Recommendations for  
the Exposed Pad on QFN and DFN Packages.

Not all pins or pin functions are available on all devices; see Table 1-1 for available functions on each device.  
Port pins are software configurable with pullup device if input port.  
Port pins are software configurable for output drive strength.  
Port pins are software configurable for output slew rate control.  
IRQ contains a software configurable (IRQPDD) pullup device if PTA5 enabled as IRQ pin function (IRQPE = 1).  
RESET contains integrated pullup device if PTA5 enabled as reset pin function (RSTPE = 1).  
PTA4 contains integrated pullup device if BKGD enabled (BKGDPE = 1).  
SDA and SCL pin locations can be repositioned under software control (IICPS), defaults on PTA2 and PTA3.  
When pin functions as KBI (KBIPEn = 1) and associated pin is configured to enable the pullup device, KBEDGn can be used to reconfigure  
the pullup as a pulldown device.

Power  
V
and V are the primary power supply pins for the MCU. This voltage source supplies power to all

I/O buffer circuitry, ACMP and ADC modules, and to an internal voltage regulator. The internal voltage  
regulator provides a regulated lower-voltage source to the CPU and other internal circuitry of the MCU.  
Typically, application systems have two separate capacitors across the power pins: a bulk electrolytic  
capacitor, such as a 10-μF tantalum capacitor, to provide bulk charge storage for the overall system, and a  
bypass capacitor, such as a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor, located as near to the MCU power pins as practical  
to suppress high-frequency noise.

2.2.2  
Oscillator (XOSC)  
Out of reset, the MCU uses an internally generated clock provided by the internal clock source (ICS)  
module. The internal frequency is nominally 16-MHz and the default ICS settings will provide for a  
8-MHz bus out of reset. For more information on the ICS, see Chapter 10, “Internal Clock Source  
(S08ICSV1).”  
The oscillator module (XOSC) in this MCU is a Pierce oscillator that can accommodate a crystal or  
ceramic resonator in either of two frequency ranges selected by the RANGE bit in ICSC2. Rather than a  
crystal or ceramic resonator, an external clock source can be connected to the EXTAL input pin.  
Refer to Figure 2-4 for the following discussion. R (when used) and R should be low-inductance  
S
F
resistors such as carbon composition resistors. Wire-wound resistors, and some metal film resistors, have  
too much inductance. C1 and C2 normally should be high-quality ceramic capacitors that are specifically  
designed for high-frequency applications.  
R is used to provide a bias path to keep the EXTAL input in its linear range during crystal startup, and its  
F
value is not generally critical. Typical systems use 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ. Higher values are sensitive to  
humidity, and lower values reduce gain and (in extreme cases) could prevent startup.  
C1 and C2 are typically in the 5-pF to 25-pF range and are chosen to match the requirements of a specific  
crystal or resonator. Be sure to take into account printed circuit board (PCB) capacitance and MCU pin  
capacitance when sizing C1 and C2. The crystal manufacturer typically specifies a load capacitance which  
is the series combination of C1 and C2, which are usually the same size. As a first-order approximation,  
use 10 pF as an estimate of combined pin and PCB capacitance for each oscillator pin (EXTAL and  
XTAL).  
2.2.3  
Reset (Input Only)  
After a power-on reset (POR), the PTA5/IRQ/TCLK/RESET pin defaults to a general-purpose input port  
pin, PTA5. Setting RSTPE in SOPT1 configures the pin to be the RESET input pin. After configured as  
RESET, the pin will remain RESET until the next POR. The RESET pin can be used to reset the MCU  
from an external source when the pin is driven low. When enabled as the RESET pin (RSTPE = 1), an  
internal pullup device is automatically enabled.

2.2.4  
Background / Mode Select (BKGD/MS)  
During a power-on-reset (POR) or background debug force reset (see 5.8.3, “System Background Debug  
Force Reset Register (SBDFR),” for more information), the PTA4/ACMPO/BKGD/MS pin functions as a  
mode select pin. Immediately after any reset, the pin functions as the background pin and can be used for  
background debug communication. When enabled as the BKGD/MS pin (BKGDPE = 1), an internal  
pullup device is automatically enabled.  
The background debug communication function is enabled when BKGDPE in SOPT1 is set. BKGDPE is  
set following any reset of the MCU and must be cleared to use the PTA4/ACMPO/BKGD/MS pin’s  
alternative pin functions.  
If nothing is connected to this pin, the MCU will enter normal operating mode at the rising edge of the  
internal reset after a POR or force BDC reset. If a debug system is connected to the 6-pin standard  
background debug header, it can hold BKGD/MS low during a POR or immediately after issuing a  
background debug force reset, which will force the MCU to active background mode.  
The BKGD pin is used primarily for background debug controller (BDC) communications using a custom  
protocol that uses 16 clock cycles of the target MCU’s BDC clock per bit time. The target MCU’s BDC  
clock could be as fast as the maximum bus clock rate, so there must never be any significant capacitance  
connected to the BKGD/MS pin that could interfere with background serial communications.  
Although the BKGD pin is a pseudo open-drain pin, the background debug communication protocol  
provides brief, actively driven, high speedup pulses to ensure fast rise times. Small capacitances from  
cables and the absolute value of the internal pullup device play almost no role in determining rise and fall  
times on the BKGD pin.  
2.2.5  
General-Purpose I/O and Peripheral Ports  
The MC9S08QG8/4 series of MCUs support up to 12 general-purpose I/O pins, 1 input-only pin, and 1  
output-only pin, which are shared with on-chip peripheral functions (timers, serial I/O, ADC, keyboard  
interrupts, etc.). On each MC9S08QG8/4 device, there is one input-only and one output-only port pin.  
When a port pin is configured as a general-purpose output or a peripheral uses the port pin as an output,  
software can select one of two drive strengths and enable or disable slew rate control. When a port pin is  
configured as a general-purpose input or a peripheral uses the port pin as an input, software can enable a  
pullup device.  
For information about controlling these pins as general-purpose I/O pins, see the Chapter 6, “Parallel  
Input/Output Control.” For information about how and when on-chip peripheral systems use these pins,  
see the appropriate chapter referenced in Table 2-2.  
Immediately after reset, all pins that are not output-only are configured as high-impedance  
general-purpose inputs with internal pullup devices disabled. After reset, the output-only port function is  
not enabled but is configured for low output drive strength with slew rate control enabled. The PTA4 pin  
defaults to BKGD/MS on any reset.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
28  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Chapter 2 External Signal Description  
NOTE  
To avoid extra current drain from floating input pins, the reset initialization  
routine in the application program must either enable on-chip pullup devices  
or change the direction of unused pins to outputs so the pins do not float.  
When using the 8-pin devices, the user must either enable on-chip pullup  
devices or change the direction of non-bonded out port B pins to outputs so  
the pins do not float.  
2.2.5.1  
Pin Control Registers  
To select drive strength or enable slew rate control or pullup devices, the user writes to the appropriate pin  
control register located in the high page register block of the memory map. The pin control registers  
operate independently of the parallel I/O registers and allow control of a port on an individual pin basis.  
2.2.5.1.1  
Internal Pullup Enable  
An internal pullup device can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in one of the  
pullup enable registers (PTxPEn). The pullup device is disabled if the pin is configured as an output by the  
parallel I/O control logic or any shared peripheral function, regardless of the state of the corresponding  
pullup enable register bit. The pullup device is also disabled if the pin is controlled by an analog function.  
The KBI module, when enabled for rising edge detection, causes an enabled internal pull device to be  
configured as a pulldown.  
2.2.5.2  
Output Slew Rate Control  
Slew rate control can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in one of the slew rate  
control registers (PTxSEn). When enabled, slew control limits the rate at which an output can transition in  
order to reduce EMC emissions. Slew rate control has no effect on pins that are configured as inputs.  
2.2.5.3  
Output Drive Strength Select  
An output pin can be selected to have high output drive strength by setting the corresponding bit in one of  
the drive strength select registers (PTxDSn). When high drive is selected, a pin is capable of sourcing and  
sinking greater current. Even though every I/O pin can be selected as high drive, the user must ensure that  
the total current source and sink limits for the chip are not exceeded. Drive strength selection is intended  
to affect the DC behavior of I/O pins. However, the AC behavior is also affected. High drive allows a pin  
to drive a greater load with the same switching speed as a low drive enabled pin into a smaller load.  
Because of this, the EMC emissions may be affected by enabling pins as high drive.

NOTE  
When an alternative function is first enabled, it is possible to get a spurious  
edge to the module. User software should clear out any associated flags  
before interrupts are enabled. Table 2-1 shows the priority if multiple  
modules are enabled. The highest priority module will have control over the  
pin. Selecting a higher priority pin function with a lower priority function  
already enabled can cause spurious edges to the lower priority module. It is  
recommended that all modules that share a pin be disabled before enabling  
anther module.

Modes of Operation  
3.1  
Introduction  
The operating modes of the MC9S08QG8/4 are described in this section. Entry into each mode, exit from  
each mode, and functionality while in each mode are described.  
3.2  
Features  
Active background mode for code development  
Wait mode:  
— CPU halts operation to conserve power  
— System clocks running  
— Full voltage regulation is maintained  
Stop modes: CPU and bus clocks stopped  
— Stop1: Full powerdown of internal circuits for maximum power savings  
— Stop2: Partial powerdown of internal circuits; RAM contents retained  
— Stop3: All internal circuits powered for fast recovery; RAM and register contents are retained  
3.3  
Run Mode  
Run is the normal operating mode for the MC9S08QG8/4. This mode is selected upon the MCU exiting  
reset if the BKGD/MS pin is high. In this mode, the CPU executes code from internal memory with  
execution beginning at the address fetched from memory at 0xFFFE:0xFFFF after reset.  
3.4  
Active Background Mode  
The active background mode functions are managed through the background debug controller (BDC) in  
the HCS08 core. The BDC, together with the on-chip debug module (DBG), provides the means for  
analyzing MCU operation during software development.  
Active background mode is entered in any of five ways:  
When the BKGD/MS pin is low during POR or immediately after issuing a background debug  
force reset (see 5.8.3, “System Background Debug Force Reset Register (SBDFR)”)  
When a BACKGROUND command is received through the BKGD pin  
When a BGND instruction is executed  
When encountering a BDC breakpoint  
When encountering a DBG breakpoint

Chapter 3 Modes of Operation  
After entering active background mode, the CPU is held in a suspended state waiting for serial background  
commands rather than executing instructions from the user application program.  
Background commands are of two types:  
Non-intrusive commands, defined as commands that can be issued while the user program is  
running. Non-intrusive commands can be issued through the BKGD pin while the MCU is in run  
mode; non-intrusive commands can also be executed when the MCU is in the active background  
mode. Non-intrusive commands include:  
— Memory access commands  
— Memory-access-with-status commands  
— BDC register access commands  
— The BACKGROUND command  
Active background commands, which can only be executed while the MCU is in active background  
mode. Active background commands include commands to:  
— Read or write CPU registers  
— Trace one user program instruction at a time  
— Leave active background mode to return to the user application program (GO)  
The active background mode is used to program a bootloader or user application program into the FLASH  
program memory before the MCU is operated in run mode for the first time. When the MC9S08QG8/4 is  
shipped from the Freescale factory, the FLASH program memory is erased by default unless specifically  
noted, so there is no program that could be executed in run mode until the FLASH memory is initially  
programmed. The active background mode can also be used to erase and reprogram the FLASH memory  
after it has been previously programmed.  
For additional information about the active background mode, refer to the Development Support chapter.  
3.5  
Wait Mode  
Wait mode is entered by executing a WAIT instruction. Upon execution of the WAIT instruction, the CPU  
enters a low-power state in which it is not clocked. The I bit in the condition code register (CCR) is cleared  
when the CPU enters wait mode, enabling interrupts. When an interrupt request occurs, the CPU exits wait  
mode and resumes processing, beginning with the stacking operations leading to the interrupt service  
routine.  
While the MCU is in wait mode, there are some restrictions on which background debug commands can  
be used. Only the BACKGROUND command and memory-access-with-status commands are available  
while the MCU is in wait mode. The memory-access-with-status commands do not allow memory access,  
but they report an error indicating that the MCU is in either stop or wait mode. The BACKGROUND  
command can be used to wake the MCU from wait mode and enter active background mode.

3.6  
Stop Modes  
One of three stop modes is entered upon execution of a STOP instruction when STOPE in SOPT1 is set.  
In any stop mode, the bus and CPU clocks are halted. The ICS module can be configured to leave the  
reference clocks running. See Chapter 10, “Internal Clock Source (S08ICSV1),” for more information.  
Table 3-1 shows all of the control bits that affect stop mode selection and the mode selected under various  
conditions. The selected mode is entered following the execution of a STOP instruction.

ENBDM is located in the BDCSCR which is only accessible through BDC commands; see Section 17.4.1.1, “BDC  
Status and Control Register (BDCSCR)”.  
When in Stop3 mode with BDM enabled, the SIDD will be near RIDD levels because internal clocks are enabled.  
3.6.1  
Stop3 Mode  
Stop3 mode is entered by executing a STOP instruction under the conditions as shown in Table 3-1. The  
states of all of the internal registers and logic, RAM contents, and I/O pin states are maintained.  
Stop3 can be exited by asserting RESET, or by an interrupt from one of the following sources: the real-time  
interrupt (RTI), LVD, ADC, IRQ, or the KBI.  
If stop3 is exited by means of the RESET pin, then the MCU is reset and operation will resume after taking  
the reset vector. Exit by means of one of the internal interrupt sources results in the MCU taking the  
appropriate interrupt vector.  
3.6.1.1  
LVD Enabled in Stop Mode  
The LVD system is capable of generating either an interrupt or a reset when the supply voltage drops below  
the LVD voltage. If the LVD is enabled in stop (LVDE and LVDSE bits in SPMSC1 both set) at the time  
the CPU executes a STOP instruction, then the voltage regulator remains active during stop mode.  
For the ADC to operate the LVD must be left enabled when entering stop3.  
3.6.1.2  
Active BDM Enabled in Stop Mode  
Entry into the active background mode from run mode is enabled if ENBDM in BDCSCR is set. This  
register is described in Chapter 17, “Development Support.” If ENBDM is set when the CPU executes a

Chapter 3 Modes of Operation  
STOP instruction, the system clocks to the background debug logic remain active when the MCU enters  
stop mode. Because of this, background debug communication remains possible. In addition, the voltage  
regulator does not enter its low-power standby state but maintains full internal regulation.  
Most background commands are not available in stop mode. The memory-access-with-status commands  
do not allow memory access, but they report an error indicating that the MCU is in either stop or wait  
mode. The BACKGROUND command can be used to wake the MCU from stop and enter active  
background mode if the ENBDM bit is set. After entering background debug mode, all background  
commands are available.  
3.6.2  
Stop2 Mode  
Stop2 mode is entered by executing a STOP instruction under the conditions as shown in Table 3-1. Most  
of the internal circuitry of the MCU is powered off in stop2 as in stop1 with the exception of the RAM.  
Upon entering stop2, all I/O pin control signals are latched so that the pins retain their states during stop2.  
Exit from stop2 is performed by asserting the wake-up pin (PTA5) on the MCU.  
NOTE  
PTA5/IRQ/TCLK/RESET always functions as an active-low wakeup input  
when the MCU is in stop2, regardless of how the pin is configured before  
entering stop2. The pullup is not automatically enabled. To use the internal  
pullup, set the PTAPE5 bit in the PTAPE register  
In addition, the real-time interrupt (RTI) can wake the MCU from stop2, if enabled.  
Upon wake-up from stop2 mode, the MCU starts up as from a power-on reset (POR):  
All module control and status registers are reset  
The LVD reset function is enabled and the MCU remains in the reset state if V is below the LVD  
DD  
trip point (low trip point selected due to POR)  
The CPU takes the reset vector  
In addition to the above, upon waking up from stop2, the PPDF bit in SPMSC2 is set. This flag is used to  
direct user code to go to a stop2 recovery routine. PPDF remains set and the I/O pin states remain latched  
until a 1 is written to PPDACK in SPMSC2.  
To maintain I/O states for pins that were configured as general-purpose I/O before entering stop2, the user  
must restore the contents of the I/O port registers, which have been saved in RAM, to the port registers  
before writing to the PPDACK bit. If the port registers are not restored from RAM before writing to  
PPDACK, then the pins will switch to their reset states when PPDACK is written.  
For pins that were configured as peripheral I/O, the user must reconfigure the peripheral module that  
interfaces to the pin before writing to the PPDACK bit. If the peripheral module is not enabled before  
writing to PPDACK, the pins will be controlled by their associated port control registers when the I/O  
latches are opened.

Chapter 3 Modes of Operation  
3.6.3  
Stop1 Mode  
Stop1 mode is entered by executing a STOP instruction under the conditions as shown in Table 3-1. Most  
of the internal circuitry of the MCU is powered off in stop1, providing the lowest possible standby current.  
Upon entering stop1, all I/O pins automatically transition to their default reset states.  
Exit from stop1 is performed by asserting the wake-up pin (PTA5) on the MCU.  
NOTE  
PTA5/IRQ/TCLK/RESET always functions as an active-low wakeup input  
when the MCU is in stop2, regardless of how the pin is configured before  
entering stop2. The pullup is not automatically enabled. To use the internal  
pullup, set the PTAPE5 bit in the PTAPE register  
In addition, the real-time interrupt (RTI) can wake the MCU from stop1 if enabled.  
Upon wake-up from stop1 mode, the MCU starts up as from a power-on reset (POR):  
All module control and status registers are reset  
The LVD reset function is enabled and the MCU remains in the reset state if V is below the LVD  
DD  
trip point (low trip point selected due to POR)

In addition to the above, upon waking up from stop1, the PDF bit in SPMSC2 is set. This flag is used to  
direct user code to go to a stop1 recovery routine. PDF remains set until a 1 is written to PPDACK in  
SPMSC2.  
3.6.4  
On-Chip Peripheral Modules in Stop Modes  
When the MCU enters any stop mode, system clocks to the internal peripheral modules are stopped. Even  
in the exception case (ENBDM = 1), where clocks to the background debug logic continue to operate,  
clocks to the peripheral systems are halted to reduce power consumption. Refer to Section 3.6.3, “Stop1  
Mode,” Section 3.6.2, “Stop2 Mode,” and Section 3.6.1, “Stop3 Mode,” for specific information on  
system behavior in stop modes.

MC9S08QG8/4 Memory Map  
As shown in Figure 4-1, on-chip memory in the MC9S08QG8/4 series of MCUs consists of RAM, FLASH  
program memory for nonvolatile data storage, and I/O and control/status registers. The registers are  
divided into these groups:  
Direct-page registers (0x0000 through 0x005F)  
High-page registers (0x1800 through 0x184F)  
Nonvolatile registers (0xFFB0 through 0xFFBF)

Register Addresses and Bit Assignments  
The registers in the MC9S08QG8/4 are divided into these groups:  
Direct-page registers are located in the first 96 locations in the memory map; these are accessible  
with efficient direct addressing mode instructions.  
High-page registers are used much less often, so they are located from 0x1800 and above in the  
memory map. This leaves more room in the direct page for more frequently used registers and  
RAM.  
The nonvolatile register area consists of a block of 16 locations in FLASH memory at  
0xFFB0–0xFFBF. Nonvolatile register locations include:  
— NVPROT and NVOPT are loaded into working registers at reset.  
— An 8-byte backdoor comparison key that optionally allows a user to gain controlled access to  
secure memory.  
Because the nonvolatile register locations are FLASH memory, they must be erased and  
programmed like other FLASH memory locations.  
Direct-page registers can be accessed with efficient direct addressing mode instructions. Bit manipulation  
instructions can be used to access any bit in any direct-page register. Table 4-2 is a summary of all  
user-accessible direct-page registers and control bits.  
The direct page registers in Table 4-2 can use the more efficient direct addressing mode that requires only  
the lower byte of the address. Because of this, the lower byte of the address in column one is shown in bold  
text. In Table 4-3 and Table 4-4, the whole address in column one is shown in bold. In Table 4-2, Table 4-3,  
and Table 4-4, the register names in column two are shown in bold to set them apart from the bit names to  
the right. Cells that are not associated with named bits are shaded. A shaded cell with a 0 indicates this  
unused bit always reads as a 0. Shaded cells with dashes indicate unused or reserved bit locations that could  
read as 1s or 0s.

Nonvolatile FLASH registers, shown in Table 4-4, are located in the FLASH memory. These registers  
include an 8-byte backdoor key that optionally can be used to gain access to secure memory resources.  
During reset events, the contents of NVPROT and NVOPT in the nonvolatile register area of the FLASH  
memory are transferred into corresponding FPROT and FOPT working registers in the high-page registers  
to control security and block protection options.

Provided the key enable (KEYEN) bit is 1, the 8-byte comparison key can be used to temporarily  
disengage memory security. This key mechanism can be accessed only through user code running in secure  
memory. (A security key cannot be entered directly through background debug commands.) This security  
key can be disabled completely by programming the KEYEN bit to 0. If the security key is disabled, the  
only way to disengage security is by mass erasing the FLASH if needed (normally through the background  
debug interface) and verifying that FLASH is blank. To avoid returning to secure mode after the next reset,  
program the security bits (SEC01:SEC00) to the unsecured state (1:0).  
4.4  
RAM  
The MC9S08QG8/4 includes static RAM. The locations in RAM below 0x0100 can be accessed using the  
more efficient direct addressing mode, and any single bit in this area can be accessed with the bit  
manipulation instructions (BCLR, BSET, BRCLR, and BRSET). Locating the most frequently accessed  
program variables in this area of RAM is preferred.  
The RAM retains data when the MCU is in low-power wait, stop2, or stop3 mode. At power-on or after  
wakeup from stop1, the contents of RAM are uninitialized. RAM data is unaffected by any reset provided  
that the supply voltage does not drop below the minimum value for RAM retention (V  
).  
RAM  
For compatibility with M68HC05 MCUs, the HCS08 resets the stack pointer to 0x00FF. In the  
MC9S08QG8/4, it is usually best to reinitialize the stack pointer to the top of the RAM so the direct page  
RAM can be used for frequently accessed RAM variables and bit-addressable program variables. Include  
the following 2-instruction sequence in your reset initialization routine (where RamLast is equated to the  
highest address of the RAM in the Freescale Semiconductor-provided equate file).

FLASH  
The FLASH memory is intended primarily for program storage. In-circuit programming allows the  
operating program to be loaded into the FLASH memory after final assembly of the application product.  
It is possible to program the entire array through the single-wire background debug interface. Because no  
special voltages are needed for FLASH erase and programming operations, in-application programming  
is also possible through other software-controlled communication paths. For a more detailed discussion of  
in-circuit and in-application programming, refer to the HCS08 Family Reference Manual, Volume I,  
Freescale Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMv1/D.

4.5.2  
Program and Erase Times  
Before any program or erase command can be accepted, the FLASH clock divider register (FCDIV) must  
be written to set the internal clock for the FLASH module to a frequency (f ) between 150 kHz and  
FCLK  
200 kHz (see Section 4.7.1, “FLASH Clock Divider Register (FCDIV)”). This register can be written only  
once, so normally this write is done during reset initialization. FCDIV cannot be written if the access error  
flag, FACCERR in FSTAT, is set. The user must ensure that FACCERR is not set before writing to the  
FCDIV register. One period of the resulting clock (1/f  
) is used by the command processor to time  
FCLK  
program and erase pulses. An integer number of these timing pulses are used by the command processor  
to complete a program or erase command.  
Table 4-5 shows program and erase times. The bus clock frequency and FCDIV determine the frequency  
of FCLK (f  
). The time for one cycle of FCLK is t  
= 1/f  
. The times are shown as a number

4.5.3  
Program and Erase Command Execution  
The steps for executing any of the commands are listed below. The FCDIV register must be initialized and  
any error flags cleared before beginning command execution. The command execution steps are:  
1. Write a data value to an address in the FLASH array. The address and data information from this  
write is latched into the FLASH interface. This write is a required first step in any command  
sequence. For erase and blank check commands, the value of the data is not important. For page  
erase commands, the address may be any address in the 512-byte page of FLASH to be erased. For  
mass erase and blank check commands, the address can be any address in the FLASH memory.  
Whole pages of 512 bytes are the smallest block of FLASH that may be erased.  
NOTE  
Do not program any byte in the FLASH more than once after a successful  
erase operation. Reprogramming bits to a byte that is already programmed  
is not allowed without first erasing the page in which the byte resides or  
mass erasing the entire FLASH memory. Programming without first erasing  
may disturb data stored in the FLASH.  
2. Write the command code for the desired command to FCMD. The five valid commands are blank  
check (0x05), byte program (0x20), burst program (0x25), page erase (0x40), and mass erase  
(0x41). The command code is latched into the command buffer.  
3. Write a 1 to the FCBEF bit in FSTAT to clear FCBEF and launch the command (including its  
address and data information).  
A partial command sequence can be aborted manually by writing a 0 to FCBEF any time after the write to  
the memory array and before writing the 1 that clears FCBEF and launches the complete command.  
Aborting a command in this way sets the FACCERR access error flag, which must be cleared before  
starting a new command.  
A strictly monitored procedure must be obeyed or the command will not be accepted. This minimizes the  
possibility of any unintended changes to the FLASH memory contents. The command complete flag  
(FCCF) indicates when a command is complete. The command sequence must be completed by clearing  
FCBEF to launch the command. Figure 4-2 is a flowchart for executing all of the commands except for  
burst programming. The FCDIV register must be initialized before using any FLASH commands. This  
must be done only once following a reset.

Burst Program Execution  
The burst program command is used to program sequential bytes of data in less time than would be  
required using the standard program command. This is possible because the high voltage to the FLASH  
array does not need to be disabled between program operations. Ordinarily, when a program or erase  
command is issued, an internal charge pump associated with the FLASH memory must be enabled to  
supply high voltage to the array. Upon completion of the command, the charge pump is turned off. When  
a burst program command is issued, the charge pump is enabled and then remains enabled after completion  
of the burst program operation if these two conditions are met:  
The next burst program command has been queued before the current program operation has  
completed.  
The next sequential address selects a byte on the same physical row as the current byte being  
programmed. A row of FLASH memory consists of 64 bytes. A byte within a row is selected by  
addresses A5 through A0. A new row begins when addresses A5 through A0 are all zero.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
49  
Chapter 4 Memory Map and Register Definition  
The first byte of a series of sequential bytes being programmed in burst mode will take the same amount  
of time to program as a byte programmed in standard mode. Subsequent bytes will program in the burst  
program time provided that the conditions above are met. In the case the next sequential address is the  
beginning of a new row, the program time for that byte will be the standard time instead of the burst time.  
This is because the high voltage to the array must be disabled and then enabled again. If a new burst  
command has not been queued before the current command completes, then the charge pump will be  
disabled and high voltage removed from the array.

Access Errors  
An access error occurs whenever the command execution protocol is violated.  
Any of the following specific actions will cause the access error flag (FACCERR) in FSTAT to be set.  
FACCERR must be cleared by writing a 1 to FACCERR in FSTAT before any command can be processed.  
Writing to a FLASH address before the internal FLASH clock frequency has been set by writing  
to the FCDIV register  
Writing to a FLASH address while FCBEF is not set (A new command cannot be started until the  
command buffer is empty.)  
Writing a second time to a FLASH address before launching the previous command (There is only  
one write to FLASH for every command.)  
Writing a second time to FCMD before launching the previous command (There is only one write  
to FCMD for every command.)  
Writing to any FLASH control register other than FCMD after writing to a FLASH address  
Writing any command code other than the five allowed codes (0x05, 0x20, 0x25, 0x40, or 0x41)  
to FCMD  
Writing any FLASH control register other than the write to FSTAT (to clear FCBEF and launch the  
command) after writing the command to FCMD  
The MCU enters stop mode while a program or erase command is in progress (The command is  
aborted.)  
Writing the byte program, burst program, or page erase command code (0x20, 0x25, or 0x40) with  
a background debug command while the MCU is secured (The background debug controller can  
only do blank check and mass erase commands when the MCU is secure.)  
Writing 0 to FCBEF to cancel a partial command  
4.5.6  
FLASH Block Protection  
The block protection feature prevents the protected region of FLASH from program or erase changes.  
Block protection is controlled through the FLASH protection register (FPROT). When enabled, block  
protection begins at any 512 byte boundary below the last address of FLASH, 0xFFFF. (See Section 4.7.4,  
“FLASH Protection Register (FPROT and NVPROT)”).  
After exit from reset, FPROT is loaded with the contents of the NVPROT location, which is in the  
nonvolatile register block of the FLASH memory. FPROT cannot be changed directly from application  
software so a runaway program cannot alter the block protection settings. Because NVPROT is within the  
last 512 bytes of FLASH, if any amount of memory is protected, NVPROT is itself protected and cannot  
be altered (intentionally or unintentionally) by the application software. FPROT can be written through  
background debug commands, which allows a way to erase and reprogram a protected FLASH memory.  
The block protection mechanism is illustrated in Figure 4-4. The FPS bits are used as the upper bits of the  
last address of unprotected memory. This address is formed by concatenating FPS7:FPS1 with logic 1 bits  
as shown. For example, to protect the last 1536 bytes of memory (addresses 0xFA00 through 0xFFFF), the  
FPS bits must be set to 1111 100, which results in the value 0xF9FF as the last address of unprotected  
memory. In addition to programming the FPS bits to the appropriate value, FPDIS (bit 0 of NVPROT)  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor

Chapter 4 Memory Map and Register Definition  
must be programmed to logic 0 to enable block protection. Therefore the value 0xF8 must be programmed  
into NVPROT to protect addresses 0xFA00 through 0xFFFF.

Figure 4-4. Block Protection Mechanism  
One use for block protection is to block protect an area of FLASH memory for a bootloader program. This  
bootloader program then can be used to erase the rest of the FLASH memory and reprogram it. Because  
the bootloader is protected, it remains intact even if MCU power is lost in the middle of an erase and  
reprogram operation.  
4.5.7  
Vector Redirection  
Whenever any block protection is enabled, the reset and interrupt vectors will be protected. Vector  
redirection allows users to modify interrupt vector information without unprotecting bootloader and reset  
vector space. Vector redirection is enabled by programming the FNORED bit in the NVOPT register  
located at address 0xFFBF to zero. For redirection to occur, at least some portion but not all of the FLASH  
memory must be block protected by programming the NVPROT register located at address 0xFFBD. All  
of the interrupt vectors (memory locations 0xFFC0–0xFFFD) are redirected, though the reset vector  
(0xFFFE:FFFF) is not.  
For example, if 512 bytes of FLASH are protected, the protected address region is from 0xFE00 through  
0xFFFF. The interrupt vectors (0xFFC0–0xFFFD) are redirected to the locations 0xFDC0–0xFDFD. Now,  
if an SPI interrupt is taken for instance, the values in the locations 0xFDE0:FDE1 are used for the vector  
instead of the values in the locations 0xFFE0:FFE1. This allows the user to reprogram the unprotected  
portion of the FLASH with new program code including new interrupt vector values while leaving the  
protected area, which includes the default vector locations, unchanged.  
4.6  
Security  
The MC9S08QG8/4 includes circuitry to prevent unauthorized access to the contents of FLASH and RAM  
memory. When security is engaged, FLASH and RAM are considered secure resources. Direct-page  
registers, high-page registers, and the background debug controller are considered unsecured resources.  
Programs executing within secure memory have normal access to any MCU memory locations and  
resources. Attempts to access a secure memory location with a program executing from an unsecured  
memory space or through the background debug interface are blocked (writes are ignored and reads return  
all 0s).  
Security is engaged or disengaged based on the state of two nonvolatile register bits (SEC01:SEC00) in  
the FOPT register. During reset, the contents of the nonvolatile location NVOPT are copied from FLASH  
into the working FOPT register in high-page register space. A user engages security by programming the  
NVOPT location which can be done at the same time the FLASH memory is programmed. The 1:0 state  
disengages security and the other three combinations engage security. Notice the erased state (1:1) makes  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
52  
Freescale Semiconductor  
 
Chapter 4 Memory Map and Register Definition  
the MCU secure. During development, whenever the FLASH is erased, it is good practice to immediately  
program the SEC00 bit to 0 in NVOPT so SEC01:SEC00 = 1:0. This would allow the MCU to remain  
unsecured after a subsequent reset.  
The on-chip debug module cannot be enabled while the MCU is secure. The separate background debug  
controller can still be used for background memory access commands, but the MCU cannot enter active  
background mode except by holding BKGD/MS low at the rising edge of reset.  
A user can choose to allow or disallow a security unlocking mechanism through an 8-byte backdoor  
security key. If the nonvolatile KEYEN bit in NVOPT/FOPT is 0, the backdoor key is disabled and there  
is no way to disengage security without completely erasing all FLASH locations. If KEYEN is 1, a secure  
user program can temporarily disengage security by:  
1. Writing 1 to KEYACC in the FCNFG register. This makes the FLASH module interpret writes to  
the backdoor comparison key locations (NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7) as values to  
be compared against the key rather than as the first step in a FLASH program or erase command.  
2. Writing the user-entered key values to the NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7 locations.  
These writes must be done in order starting with the value for NVBACKKEY and ending with  
NVBACKKEY+7. STHX should not be used for these writes because these writes cannot be done  
on adjacent bus cycles. User software normally would get the key codes from outside the MCU  
system through a communication interface such as a serial I/O.  
3. Writing 0 to KEYACC in the FCNFG register. If the 8-byte key that was just written matches the  
key stored in the FLASH locations, SEC01:SEC00 are automatically changed to 1:0 and security  
will be disengaged until the next reset.  
The security key can be written only from secure memory (either RAM or FLASH), so it cannot be entered  
through background commands without the cooperation of a secure user program.  
The backdoor comparison key (NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7) is located in FLASH memory  
locations in the nonvolatile register space so users can program these locations exactly as they would  
program any other FLASH memory location. The nonvolatile registers are in the same 512-byte block of  
FLASH as the reset and interrupt vectors, so block protecting that space also block protects the backdoor  
comparison key. Block protects cannot be changed from user application programs, so if the vector space  
is block protected, the backdoor security key mechanism cannot permanently change the block protect,  
security settings, or the backdoor key.  
Security can always be disengaged through the background debug interface by taking these steps:  
1. Disable any block protections by writing FPROT. FPROT can be written only with background  
debug commands, not from application software.  
2. Mass erase FLASH if necessary.  
3. Blank check FLASH. Provided FLASH is completely erased, security is disengaged until the next  
reset.  
To avoid returning to secure mode after the next reset, program NVOPT so SEC01:SEC00 = 1:0.

FLASH Registers and Control Bits  
The FLASH module has six 8-bit registers in the high-page register space. Two locations (NVOPT,  
NVPROT) in the nonvolatile register space in FLASH memory are copied into corresponding high-page  
control registers (FOPT, FPROT) at reset. There is also an 8-byte comparison key in FLASH memory.  
Refer to Table 4-3 and Table 4-4 for the absolute address assignments for all FLASH registers. This  
section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A Freescale Semiconductor-provided  
equate or header file normally is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute addresses.

FLASH Clock Divider Register (FCDIV)  
Bit 7 of this register is a read-only status flag. Bits 6:0 may be read at any time but can be written only one

programming. The FCBEF bit is cleared by writing a 1 to it or when a burst program command is transferred to  
the array for programming. Only burst program commands can be buffered.

1 A new burst program command can be written to the command buffer.

FLASH Command Complete Flag — FCCF is set automatically when the command buffer is empty and no  
command is being processed. FCCF is cleared automatically when a new command is started (by writing 1 to  
FCBEF to register a command). Writing to FCCF has no meaning or effect.

Protection Violation Flag — FPVIOL is set automatically when FCBEF is cleared to register a command that  
attempts to erase or program a location in a protected block (the erroneous command is ignored). FPVIOL is  
cleared by writing a 1 to FPVIOL.

Introduction  
This section discusses basic reset and interrupt mechanisms and the various sources of reset and interrupts  
in the MC9S08QG8/4. Some interrupt sources from peripheral modules are discussed in greater detail  
within other sections of this data sheet. This section gathers basic information about all reset and interrupt  
sources in one place for easy reference. A few reset and interrupt sources, including the computer  
operating properly (COP) watchdog and real-time interrupt (RTI), are not part of on-chip peripheral  
systems with their own chapters but are part of the system control logic.  
5.2  
Features  
Reset and interrupt features include:  
Multiple sources of reset for flexible system configuration and reliable operation  
Reset status register (SRS) to indicate source of most recent reset  
Separate interrupt vectors for each module (reduces polling overhead) (see Table 5-2)  
5.3  
MCU Reset  
Resetting the MCU provides a way to start processing from a known set of initial conditions. During reset,  
most control and status registers are forced to initial values and the program counter is loaded from the  
reset vector (0xFFFE:0xFFFF). On-chip peripheral modules are disabled and I/O pins are initially  
configured as general-purpose, high-impedance inputs with pullup devices disabled. The I bit in the  
condition code register (CCR) is set to block maskable interrupts so the user program has a chance to  
initialize the stack pointer (SP) and system control settings. SP is forced to 0x00FF at reset.  
The MC9S08QG8/4 has the following sources for reset:  
External pin reset (PIN) — enabled using RSTPE in SOPT1  
Power-on reset (POR)  
Low-voltage detect (LVD)  
Computer operating properly (COP) timer  
Illegal opcode detect (ILOP)  
Illegal address detect (ILAD)  
Background debug force reset  
Each of these sources, with the exception of the background debug force reset, has an associated bit in the  
system reset status register.

Chapter 5 Resets, Interrupts, and General System Control  
5.4  
Computer Operating Properly (COP) Watchdog  
The COP watchdog is intended to force a system reset when the application software fails to execute as  
expected. To prevent a system reset from the COP timer (when it is enabled), application software must  
reset the COP counter periodically. If the application program gets lost and fails to reset the COP counter  
before it times out, a system reset is generated to force the system back to a known starting point.  
After any reset, the COPE becomes set in SOPT1 enabling the COP watchdog (see Section 5.8.4, “System  
Options Register 1 (SOPT1),” for additional information). If the COP watchdog is not used in an  
application, it can be disabled by clearing COPE. The COP counter is reset by writing any value to the  
address of SRS. This write does not affect the data in the read-only SRS. Instead, the act of writing to this  
address is decoded and sends a reset signal to the COP counter.  
The COPCLKS bit in SOPT2 (see Section 5.8.5, “System Options Register 2 (SOPT2),” for additional  
information) selects the clock source used for the COP timer. The clock source options are either the bus  
clock or an internal 1-kHz clock source. With each clock source, there is an associated short and long  
time-out controlled by COPT in SOPT1. Table 5-1 summaries the control functions of the COPCLKS and  
COPT bits. The COP watchdog defaults to operation from the 1-kHz clock source and the associated long  
8
time-out (2 cycles).

Section A.8.1, “Control Timing,” for the tolerance of this value.  
Even if the application will use the reset default settings of COPE, COPCLKS, and COPT, the user must  
write to the write-once SOPT1 and SOPT2 registers during reset initialization to lock in the settings. That  
way, they cannot be changed accidentally if the application program gets lost. The initial writes to SOPT1  
and SOPT2 will reset the COP counter.  
The write to SRS that services (clears) the COP counter must not be placed in an interrupt service routine  
(ISR) because the ISR could continue to be executed periodically even if the main application program  
fails.  
In background debug mode, the COP counter will not increment.  
When the bus clock source is selected, the COP counter does not increment while the system is in stop  
mode. The COP counter resumes as soon as the MCU exits stop mode.

Chapter 5 Resets, Interrupts, and General System Control  
When the 1-kHz clock source is selected, the COP counter is re-initialized to zero upon entry to stop mode.  
The COP counter begins from zero after the MCU exits stop mode.  
5.5  
Interrupts  
Interrupts provide a way to save the current CPU status and registers, execute an interrupt service routine  
(ISR), and then restore the CPU status so processing resumes where it was before the interrupt. Other than  
the software interrupt (SWI), which is a program instruction, interrupts are caused by hardware events  
such as an edge on the IRQ pin or a timer-overflow event. The debug module can also generate an SWI  
under certain circumstances.  
If an event occurs in an enabled interrupt source, an associated read-only status flag will become set. The  
CPU will not respond until and unless the local interrupt enable is a 1 to enable the interrupt. The I bit in  
the CCR is 0 to allow interrupts. The global interrupt mask (I bit) in the CCR is initially set after reset,  
which masks (prevents) all maskable interrupt sources. The user program initializes the stack pointer and  
performs other system setup before clearing the I bit to allow the CPU to respond to interrupts.  
When the CPU receives a qualified interrupt request, it completes the current instruction before responding  
to the interrupt. The interrupt sequence obeys the same cycle-by-cycle sequence as the SWI instruction  
and consists of:  
Saving the CPU registers on the stack  
Setting the I bit in the CCR to mask further interrupts  
Fetching the interrupt vector for the highest-priority interrupt that is currently pending  
Filling the instruction queue with the first three bytes of program information starting from the  
address fetched from the interrupt vector locations  
While the CPU is responding to the interrupt, the I bit is automatically set to avoid the possibility of  
another interrupt interrupting the ISR itself (this is called nesting of interrupts). Normally, the I bit is  
restored to 0 when the CCR is restored from the value stacked on entry to the ISR. In rare cases, the I bit  
can be cleared inside an ISR (after clearing the status flag that generated the interrupt) so that other  
interrupts can be serviced without waiting for the first service routine to finish. This practice is not  
recommended for anyone other than the most experienced programmers because it can lead to subtle  
program errors that are difficult to debug.  
The interrupt service routine ends with a return-from-interrupt (RTI) instruction which restores the CCR,  
A, X, and PC registers to their pre-interrupt values by reading the previously saved information from the  
stack.  
NOTE  
For compatibility with M68HC08 devices, the H register is not  
automatically saved and restored. It is good programming practice to push  
H onto the stack at the start of the interrupt service routine (ISR) and restore  
it immediately before the RTI that is used to return from the ISR.  
When two or more interrupts are pending when the I bit is cleared, the highest priority source is serviced  
first (see Table 5-2).

5.5.1  
Interrupt Stack Frame  
Figure 5-1 shows the content and organization of a stack frame. Before the interrupt, the stack pointer (SP)  
points at the next available byte location on the stack. The current values of CPU registers are stored on  
the stack starting with the low-order byte of the program counter (PCL) and ending with the CCR. After  
stacking, the SP points at the next available location on the stack, which is the address that is one less than  
the address where the CCR was saved. The PC value that is stacked is the address of the instruction in the  
main program that would have executed next if the interrupt had not occurred.

Figure 5-1. Interrupt Stack Frame  
When an RTI instruction is executed, these values are recovered from the stack in reverse order. As part  
of the RTI sequence, the CPU fills the instruction pipeline by reading three bytes of program information,  
starting from the PC address recovered from the stack.  
The status flag causing the interrupt must be acknowledged (cleared) before returning from the ISR.  
Typically, the flag is cleared at the beginning of the ISR so that if another interrupt is generated by this  
same source, it will be registered so it can be serviced after completion of the current ISR.  
5.5.2  
External Interrupt Request Pin (IRQ)  
External interrupts are managed by the IRQ status and control register, IRQSC. When the IRQ function is  
enabled, synchronous logic monitors the pin for edge-only or edge-and-level events. When the MCU is in  
stop mode and system clocks are shut down, a separate asynchronous path is used so the IRQ (if enabled)  
can wake the MCU.  
5.5.2.1  
Pin Configuration Options  
The IRQ pin enable (IRQPE) control bit in IRQSC must be 1 for the IRQ pin to act as the interrupt request  
(IRQ) input. As an IRQ input, the user can choose whether the pin detects edges-only or edges and levels  
(IRQMOD), and whether an event causes an interrupt or only sets the IRQF flag, which can be polled by  
software.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
62  
Freescale Semiconductor  
 
Chapter 5 Resets, Interrupts, and General System Control  
The IRQ pin, when enabled, defaults to use an internal pullup device (IRQPDD = 0). If the user desires to  
use an external pullup, the IRQPDD can be written to a 1 to turn off the internal device.  
BIH and BIL instructions may be used to detect the level on the IRQ pin when the pin is configured to act  
as the IRQ input.

5.5.2.2  
Edge and Level Sensitivity  
The IRQMOD control bit reconfigures the detection logic so it detects edge events and pin levels. In this  
edge detection mode, the IRQF status flag becomes set when an edge is detected (when the IRQ pin  
changes from the deasserted to the asserted level), but the flag is continuously set (and cannot be cleared)  
as long as the IRQ pin remains at the asserted level.  
5.5.3  
Interrupt Vectors, Sources, and Local Masks  
Table 5-2 provides a summary of all interrupt sources. Higher-priority sources are located toward the  
bottom of the table. The high-order byte of the address for the interrupt service routine is located at the  
first address in the vector address column, and the low-order byte of the address for the interrupt service  
routine is located at the next higher address.  
When an interrupt condition occurs, an associated flag bit becomes set. If the associated local interrupt  
enable is 1, an interrupt request is sent to the CPU. Within the CPU, if the global interrupt mask (I bit in  
the CCR) is 0, the CPU will finish the current instruction; stack the PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR CPU  
registers; set the I bit; and then fetch the interrupt vector for the highest priority pending interrupt.  
Processing then continues in the interrupt service routine.

5.6  
Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) System  
The MC9S08QG8/4 includes a system to protect against low voltage conditions to protect memory  
contents and control MCU system states during supply voltage variations. The system is comprised of a  
power-on reset (POR) circuit and a LVD circuit with a user selectable trip voltage, either high (V  
) or  
LVDH  
low (V  
). The LVD circuit is enabled when LVDE in SPMSC1 is high and the trip voltage is selected  
LVDL  
by LVDV in SPMSC3. The LVD is disabled upon entering any of the stop modes unless LVDSE is set in  
SPMSC1. If LVDSE and LVDE are both set, then the MCU cannot enter stop1 or stop2, and the current  
consumption in stop3 with the LVD enabled will be greater.  
5.6.1  
Power-On Reset Operation  
When power is initially applied to the MCU, or when the supply voltage drops below the V  
level, the  
POR  
POR circuit will cause a reset condition. As the supply voltage rises, the LVD circuit will hold the MCU  
in reset until the supply has risen above the V  
following a POR.  
level. Both the POR bit and the LVD bit in SRS are set  
LVDL  
5.6.2  
LVD Reset Operation  
The LVD can be configured to generate a reset upon detection of a low voltage condition by setting  
LVDRE to 1. After an LVD reset has occurred, the LVD system will hold the MCU in reset until the supply  
voltage has risen above the level determined by LVDV. The LVD bit in the SRS register is set following  
either an LVD reset or POR.  
5.6.3  
LVD Interrupt Operation  
When a low voltage condition is detected and the LVD circuit is configured using SPMSC1 for interrupt  
operation (LVDE set, LVDIE set, and LVDRE clear), then LVDF in SPMSC1 will be set and an LVD  
interrupt request will occur.  
5.6.4  
Low-Voltage Warning (LVW)  
The LVD system has a low voltage warning flag to indicate to the user that the supply voltage is  
approaching, but is above, the LVD voltage. The LVW does not have an interrupt associated with it. There  
are two user selectable trip voltages for the LVW, one high (V  
voltage is selected by LVWV in SPMSC3.  
) and one low (V  
). The trip  
LVWH  
LVWL  
5.7  
Real-Time Interrupt (RTI)  
The real-time interrupt function can be used to generate periodic interrupts. The RTI can accept two  
sources of clocks, the 1-kHz internal clock or an external clock if available. External clock input requires  
the XOSC module; consult Table 1-1 to see if your MCU contains this module. The RTICLKS bit in  
SRTISC is used to select the RTI clock source.  
Either RTI clock source can be used when the MCU is in run, wait or stop3 mode. When using the external  
oscillator in stop3, it must be enabled in stop (EREFSTEN = 1) and configured for low frequency operation  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
65  
Chapter 5 Resets, Interrupts, and General System Control  
(RANGE = 0). Only the internal 1-kHz clock source can be selected to wake the MCU from stop1 or stop2  
modes.  
The SRTISC register includes a read-only status flag, a write-only acknowledge bit, and a 3-bit control  
value (RTIS) used to select one of seven wakeup periods. The RTI has a local interrupt enable, RTIE, to  
allow masking of the real-time interrupt. The RTI can be disabled by writing each bit of RTIS to 0s, and  
no interrupts will be generated. See Section 5.8.7, “System Real-Time Interrupt Status and Control  
Register (SRTISC),” for detailed information about this register.  
5.8  
Reset, Interrupt, and System Control Registers and Control Bits  
One 8-bit register in the direct page register space and eight 8-bit registers in the high-page register space  
are related to reset and interrupt systems.  
Refer to the direct-page register summary in Chapter 4, “Memory Map and Register Definition,” for the  
absolute address assignments for all registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their  
names. A Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate  
absolute addresses.  
Some control bits in the SOPT1, SOPT2, and SPMSC2 registers are related to modes of operation.  
Although brief descriptions of these bits are provided here, the related functions are discussed in greater  
detail in Chapter 3, “Modes of Operation.”

POR  
Power-On Reset — Reset was caused by the power-on detection logic. Because the internal supply voltage was  
ramping up at the time, the low-voltage reset (LVD) status bit is also set to indicate that the reset occurred while  
the internal supply was below the LVD threshold.  
0 Reset not caused by POR.  
1 POR caused reset.

COP  
Computer Operating Properly (COP) Watchdog — Reset was caused by the COP watchdog timer timing out.  
This reset source can be blocked by COPE = 0.  
0 Reset not caused by COP timeout.  
1 Reset caused by COP timeout.  
4
Illegal Opcode — Reset was caused by an attempt to execute an unimplemented or illegal opcode. The STOP  
instruction is considered illegal if stop is disabled by STOPE = 0 in the SOPT1 register. The BGND instruction is  
considered illegal if active background mode is disabled by ENBDM = 0 in the BDCSC register.  
0 Reset not caused by an illegal opcode.  
ILOP  
1 Reset caused by an illegal opcode.  
3
Illegal Address — Reset was caused by an attempt to access either data or an instruction at an unimplemented  
ILAD  
memory address.  
0 Reset not caused by an illegal address  
1 Reset caused by an illegal address

LVD  
Low Voltage Detect — If the LVDRE bit is set and the supply drops below the LVD trip voltage, an LVD reset will  
occur. This bit is also set by POR.  
0 Reset not caused by LVD trip or POR.  
1 Reset caused by LVD trip or POR.

an external debug host to force a target system reset. Writing 1 to this bit forces an MCU reset. This bit cannot  
be written from a user program. To enter user mode, PTA4/ACMPO/BKGD/MS must be high immediately after  
issuing WRITE_BYTE command. To enter BDM, PTA4/ACMPO/BKGD/MS must be low immediately after issuing  
WRITE_BYTE command. See Table A-9., “Control Timing,” for more information.

Parallel Input/Output Control  
This section explains software controls related to parallel input/output (I/O) and pin control. The  
MC9S08QG8 has two parallel I/O ports which include a total of 12 I/O pins, one output-only pin and one  
input-only pin. See Section Chapter 2, “External Signal Description,” for more information about pin  
assignments and external hardware considerations of these pins. Not all pins are available on all devices  
of the MC9S08QG8/4 Family; see Table 1-1 for the number of general-purpose pins available on your  
device.  
All of these I/O pins are shared with on-chip peripheral functions as shown in Table 2-2. The peripheral  
modules have priority over the I/Os so that when a peripheral is enabled, the I/O functions associated with  
the shared pins are disabled. After reset, the shared peripheral functions are disabled so that the pins are  
controlled by the I/O. All of the I/Os are configured as inputs (PTxDDn = 0) with pullup devices disabled  
(PTxPEn = 0), except for output-only pin PTA4 which defaults to the BKGD/MS pin.  
NOTE  
Not all general-purpose I/O pins are available on all packages. To avoid  
extra current drain from floating input pins, the user reset initialization  
routine in the application program must either enable on-chip pullup devices  
or change the direction of unconnected pins to outputs so the pins do not  
float.  
6.1  
Port Data and Data Direction  
Reading and writing of parallel I/Os is performed through the port data registers. The direction, either input  
or output, is controlled through the port data direction registers. The parallel I/O port function for an  
individual pin is illustrated in the block diagram shown in Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1. Parallel I/O Block Diagram  
The data direction control bit (PTxDDn) determines whether the output buffer for the associated pin is  
enabled, and also controls the source for port data register reads. The input buffer for the associated pin is  
always enabled unless the pin is enabled as an analog function or is an output-only pin.  
When a shared digital function is enabled for a pin, the output buffer is controlled by the shared function.  
However, the data direction register bit will continue to control the source for reads of the port data register.  
When a shared analog function is enabled for a pin, both the input and output buffers are disabled. A value  
of 0 is read for any port data bit where the bit is an input (PTxDDn = 0) and the input buffer is disabled. In  
general, whenever a pin is shared with both an alternate digital function and an analog function, the analog  
function has priority such that if both the digital and analog functions are enabled, the analog function  
controls the pin.  
It is a good programming practice to write to the port data register before changing the direction of a port  
pin to become an output. This ensures that the pin will not be driven momentarily with an old data value  
that happened to be in the port data register.  
6.2  
Pin Control — Pullup, Slew Rate, and Drive Strength  
Associated with the parallel I/O ports is a set of registers located in the high page register space that operate  
independently of the parallel I/O registers. These registers are used to control pullups, slew rate, and drive  
strength for the pins.

Freescale Semiconductor  
Chapter 6 Parallel Input/Output Control  
6.3  
Pin Behavior in Stop Modes  
Pin behavior following execution of a STOP instruction depends on the stop mode that is entered. An  
explanation of pin behavior for the various stop modes follows:  
In stop1 mode, all internal registers including parallel I/O control and data registers are powered  
off. Each of the pins assumes its default reset state (output buffer and internal pullup disabled).  
Upon exit from stop1, all pins must be re-configured the same as if the MCU had been reset by  
POR.  
Stop2 mode is a partial power-down mode, whereby latches maintain the pin state as before the  
STOP instruction was executed. CPU register status and the state of I/O registers must be saved in  
RAM before the STOP instruction is executed to place the MCU in stop2 mode. Upon recovery  
from stop2 mode, before accessing any I/O, the user must examine the state of the PPDF bit in the  
SPMSC2 register. If the PPDF bit is 0, I/O must be initialized as if a power on reset had occurred.  
If the PPDF bit is 1, I/O data previously stored in RAM, before the STOP instruction was executed,  
and peripherals previously enabled will require being initialized and restored to their pre-stop  
condition. The user must then write a 1 to the PPDACK bit in the SPMSC2 register. Access of pins  
is now permitted again in the user application program.  
In stop3 mode, all pin states are maintained because internal logic stays powered up. Upon  
recovery, all pin functions are the same as before entering stop3.

This section provides information about the registers associated with the parallel I/O ports.  
Refer to tables in Chapter 4, “Memory Map and Register Definition,” for the absolute address assignments  
for all parallel I/O. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A Freescale  
Semiconductor-provided equate or header file normally is used to translate these names into the  
appropriate absolute addresses.

Writes are latched into all bits of this register. For port A pins that are configured as outputs, the logic level is  
driven out the corresponding MCU pin.  
Reset forces PTAD to all 0s, but these 0s are not driven out the corresponding pins because reset also configures  
all port pins as high-impedance inputs with pullups disabled.

An internal pullup device can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in the pullup  
enable register (PTAPEn). The pullup device is disabled if the pin is configured as an output by the parallel  
I/O control logic or any shared peripheral function regardless of the state of the corresponding pullup  
enable register bit. The pullup device is also disabled if the pin is controlled by an analog function.

Port A Drive Strength Select (PTADS)  
An output pin can be selected to have high output drive strength by setting the corresponding bit in the  
drive strength select register (PTADS). When high drive is selected, a pin is capable of sourcing and  
sinking greater current. Even though every I/O pin can be selected as high drive, the user must ensure that  
the total current source and sink limits for the chip are not exceeded. Drive strength selection is intended  
to affect the DC behavior of I/O pins. However, the AC behavior is also affected. High drive allows a pin  
to drive a greater load with the same switching speed as a low drive enabled pin into a smaller load.  
Because of this the EMC emissions may be affected by enabling pins as high drive.

Introduction  
This section provides summary information about the registers, addressing modes, and instruction set of  
the CPU of the HCS08 Family. For a more detailed discussion, refer to the HCS08 Family Reference  
Manual, volume 1, Freescale Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMV1/D.  
The HCS08 CPU is fully source- and object-code-compatible with the M68HC08 CPU. Several  
instructions and enhanced addressing modes were added to improve C compiler efficiency and to support  
a new background debug system which replaces the monitor mode of earlier M68HC08 microcontrollers  
(MCU).  
7.1.1  
Features  
Features of the HCS08 CPU include:  
Object code fully upward-compatible with M68HC05 and M68HC08 Families  
All registers and memory are mapped to a single 64-Kbyte address space  
16-bit stack pointer (any size stack anywhere in 64-Kbyte address space)  
16-bit index register (H:X) with powerful indexed addressing modes  
8-bit accumulator (A)  
Many instructions treat X as a second general-purpose 8-bit register  
Seven addressing modes:  
— Inherent — Operands in internal registers  
— Relative — 8-bit signed offset to branch destination  
— Immediate — Operand in next object code byte(s)  
— Direct — Operand in memory at 0x0000–0x00FF  
— Extended — Operand anywhere in 64-Kbyte address space  
— Indexed relative to H:X — Five submodes including auto increment  
— Indexed relative to SP — Improves C efficiency dramatically  
Memory-to-memory data move instructions with four address mode combinations  
Overflow, half-carry, negative, zero, and carry condition codes support conditional branching on  
the results of signed, unsigned, and binary-coded decimal (BCD) operations  
Efficient bit manipulation instructions  
Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply and 16-bit by 8-bit divide instructions  
STOP and WAIT instructions to invoke low-power operating modes

7.2.1  
Accumulator (A)  
The A accumulator is a general-purpose 8-bit register. One operand input to the arithmetic logic unit  
(ALU) is connected to the accumulator and the ALU results are often stored into the A accumulator after  
arithmetic and logical operations. The accumulator can be loaded from memory using various addressing  
modes to specify the address where the loaded data comes from, or the contents of A can be stored to  
memory using various addressing modes to specify the address where data from A will be stored.  
Reset has no effect on the contents of the A accumulator.  
7.2.2  
Index Register (H:X)  
This 16-bit register is actually two separate 8-bit registers (H and X), which often work together as a 16-bit  
address pointer where H holds the upper byte of an address and X holds the lower byte of the address. All  
indexed addressing mode instructions use the full 16-bit value in H:X as an index reference pointer;  
however, for compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family, some instructions operate only on the  
low-order 8-bit half (X).  
Many instructions treat X as a second general-purpose 8-bit register that can be used to hold 8-bit data  
values. X can be cleared, incremented, decremented, complemented, negated, shifted, or rotated. Transfer  
instructions allow data to be transferred from A or transferred to A where arithmetic and logical operations  
can then be performed.  
For compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family, H is forced to 0x00 during reset. Reset has no effect  
on the contents of X.

Chapter 7 Central Processor Unit (S08CPUV2)  
7.2.3  
Stack Pointer (SP)  
This 16-bit address pointer register points at the next available location on the automatic last-in-first-out  
(LIFO) stack. The stack may be located anywhere in the 64-Kbyte address space that has RAM and can  
be any size up to the amount of available RAM. The stack is used to automatically save the return address  
for subroutine calls, the return address and CPU registers during interrupts, and for local variables. The  
AIS (add immediate to stack pointer) instruction adds an 8-bit signed immediate value to SP. This is most  
often used to allocate or deallocate space for local variables on the stack.  
SP is forced to 0x00FF at reset for compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family. HCS08 programs  
normally change the value in SP to the address of the last location (highest address) in on-chip RAM  
during reset initialization to free up direct page RAM (from the end of the on-chip registers to 0x00FF).  
The RSP (reset stack pointer) instruction was included for compatibility with the M68HC05 Family and  
is seldom used in new HCS08 programs because it only affects the low-order half of the stack pointer.  
7.2.4  
Program Counter (PC)  
The program counter is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next instruction or operand to be  
fetched.  
During normal program execution, the program counter automatically increments to the next sequential  
memory location every time an instruction or operand is fetched. Jump, branch, interrupt, and return  
operations load the program counter with an address other than that of the next sequential location. This  
is called a change-of-flow.  
During reset, the program counter is loaded with the reset vector that is located at 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF.  
The vector stored there is the address of the first instruction that will be executed after exiting the reset  
state.  
7.2.5  
Condition Code Register (CCR)  
The 8-bit condition code register contains the interrupt mask (I) and five flags that indicate the results of  
the instruction just executed. Bits 6 and 5 are set permanently to 1. The following paragraphs describe the  
functions of the condition code bits in general terms. For a more detailed explanation of how each  
instruction sets the CCR bits, refer to the HCS08 Family Reference Manual, volume 1, Freescale  
Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMv1.

Half-Carry Flag — The CPU sets the half-carry flag when a carry occurs between accumulator bits 3 and 4 during  
an add-without-carry (ADD) or add-with-carry (ADC) operation. The half-carry flag is required for binary-coded  
decimal (BCD) arithmetic operations. The DAA instruction uses the states of the H and C condition code bits to  
automatically add a correction value to the result from a previous ADD or ADC on BCD operands to correct the  
result to a valid BCD value.

Interrupt Mask Bit — When the interrupt mask is set, all maskable CPU interrupts are disabled. CPU interrupts  
are enabled when the interrupt mask is cleared. When a CPU interrupt occurs, the interrupt mask is set  
automatically after the CPU registers are saved on the stack, but before the first instruction of the interrupt service  
routine is executed.  
Interrupts are not recognized at the instruction boundary after any instruction that clears I (CLI or TAP). This  
ensures that the next instruction after a CLI or TAP will always be executed without the possibility of an intervening  
interrupt, provided I was set.  
0 Interrupts enabled  
1 Interrupts disabled  
2
N
Negative Flag — The CPU sets the negative flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data  
manipulation produces a negative result, setting bit 7 of the result. Simply loading or storing an 8-bit or 16-bit value  
causes N to be set if the most significant bit of the loaded or stored value was 1.  
0 Non-negative result  
1 Negative result  
1
Z
Zero Flag — The CPU sets the zero flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data manipulation  
produces a result of 0x00 or 0x0000. Simply loading or storing an 8-bit or 16-bit value causes Z to be set if the  
loaded or stored value was all 0s.  
0 Non-zero result  
1 Zero result

C
Carry/Borrow Flag — The CPU sets the carry/borrow flag when an addition operation produces a carry out of bit  
7 of the accumulator or when a subtraction operation requires a borrow. Some instructions — such as bit test and  
branch, shift, and rotate — also clear or set the carry/borrow flag.  
0 No carry out of bit 7  
1 Carry out of bit 7

Chapter 7 Central Processor Unit (S08CPUV2)  
7.3  
Addressing Modes  
Addressing modes define the way the CPU accesses operands and data. In the HCS08, all memory, status  
and control registers, and input/output (I/O) ports share a single 64-Kbyte linear address space so a 16-bit  
binary address can uniquely identify any memory location. This arrangement means that the same  
instructions that access variables in RAM can also be used to access I/O and control registers or nonvolatile  
program space.  
Some instructions use more than one addressing mode. For instance, move instructions use one addressing  
mode to specify the source operand and a second addressing mode to specify the destination address.  
Instructions such as BRCLR, BRSET, CBEQ, and DBNZ use one addressing mode to specify the location  
of an operand for a test and then use relative addressing mode to specify the branch destination address  
when the tested condition is true. For BRCLR, BRSET, CBEQ, and DBNZ, the addressing mode listed in  
the instruction set tables is the addressing mode needed to access the operand to be tested, and relative  
addressing mode is implied for the branch destination.  
7.3.1  
Inherent Addressing Mode (INH)  
In this addressing mode, operands needed to complete the instruction (if any) are located within CPU  
registers so the CPU does not need to access memory to get any operands.  
7.3.2  
Relative Addressing Mode (REL)  
Relative addressing mode is used to specify the destination location for branch instructions. A signed 8-bit  
offset value is located in the memory location immediately following the opcode. During execution, if the  
branch condition is true, the signed offset is sign-extended to a 16-bit value and is added to the current  
contents of the program counter, which causes program execution to continue at the branch destination  
address.  
7.3.3  
Immediate Addressing Mode (IMM)  
In immediate addressing mode, the operand needed to complete the instruction is included in the object  
code immediately following the instruction opcode in memory. In the case of a 16-bit immediate operand,  
the high-order byte is located in the next memory location after the opcode, and the low-order byte is  
located in the next memory location after that.  
7.3.4  
Direct Addressing Mode (DIR)  
In direct addressing mode, the instruction includes the low-order eight bits of an address in the direct page  
(0x0000–0x00FF). During execution a 16-bit address is formed by concatenating an implied 0x00 for the  
high-order half of the address and the direct address from the instruction to get the 16-bit address where  
the desired operand is located. This is faster and more memory efficient than specifying a complete 16-bit  
address for the operand.

Freescale Semiconductor  
91  
Chapter 7 Central Processor Unit (S08CPUV2)  
7.3.5  
Extended Addressing Mode (EXT)  
In extended addressing mode, the full 16-bit address of the operand is located in the next two bytes of  
program memory after the opcode (high byte first).  
7.3.6  
Indexed Addressing Mode  
Indexed addressing mode has seven variations including five that use the 16-bit H:X index register pair  
and two that use the stack pointer as the base reference.  
7.3.6.1  
Indexed, No Offset (IX)  
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair as the address of  
the operand needed to complete the instruction.  
7.3.6.2  
Indexed, No Offset with Post Increment (IX+)  
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair as the address of  
the operand needed to complete the instruction. The index register pair is then incremented  
(H:X = H:X + 0x0001) after the operand has been fetched. This addressing mode is only used for MOV  
and CBEQ instructions.  
7.3.6.3  
Indexed, 8-Bit Offset (IX1)  
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus an unsigned  
8-bit offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.  
7.3.6.4  
Indexed, 8-Bit Offset with Post Increment (IX1+)  
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus an unsigned  
8-bit offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.  
The index register pair is then incremented (H:X = H:X + 0x0001) after the operand has been fetched. This  
addressing mode is used only for the CBEQ instruction.  
7.3.6.5  
Indexed, 16-Bit Offset (IX2)  
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus a 16-bit offset

SP-Relative, 16-Bit Offset (SP2)  
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the stack pointer (SP) plus a 16-bit offset  
included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.  
7.4  
Special Operations  
The CPU performs a few special operations that are similar to instructions but do not have opcodes like  
other CPU instructions. In addition, a few instructions such as STOP and WAIT directly affect other MCU  
circuitry. This section provides additional information about these operations.  
7.4.1  
Reset Sequence  
Reset can be caused by a power-on-reset (POR) event, internal conditions such as the COP (computer  
operating properly) watchdog, or by assertion of an external active-low reset pin. When a reset event  
occurs, the CPU immediately stops whatever it is doing (the MCU does not wait for an instruction  
boundary before responding to a reset event). For a more detailed discussion about how the MCU  
recognizes resets and determines the source, refer to the Resets, Interrupts, and System Configuration  
chapter.  
The reset event is considered concluded when the sequence to determine whether the reset came from an  
internal source is done and when the reset pin is no longer asserted. At the conclusion of a reset event, the  
CPU performs a 6-cycle sequence to fetch the reset vector from 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF and to fill the  
instruction queue in preparation for execution of the first program instruction.  
7.4.2  
Interrupt Sequence  
When an interrupt is requested, the CPU completes the current instruction before responding to the  
interrupt. At this point, the program counter is pointing at the start of the next instruction, which is where  
the CPU should return after servicing the interrupt. The CPU responds to an interrupt by performing the  
same sequence of operations as for a software interrupt (SWI) instruction, except the address used for the  
vector fetch is determined by the highest priority interrupt that is pending when the interrupt sequence  
started.  
The CPU sequence for an interrupt is:  
1. Store the contents of PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR on the stack, in that order.  
2. Set the I bit in the CCR.  
3. Fetch the high-order half of the interrupt vector.  
4. Fetch the low-order half of the interrupt vector.  
5. Delay for one free bus cycle.  
6. Fetch three bytes of program information starting at the address indicated by the interrupt vector  
to fill the instruction queue in preparation for execution of the first instruction in the interrupt  
service routine.  
After the CCR contents are pushed onto the stack, the I bit in the CCR is set to prevent other interrupts  
while in the interrupt service routine. Although it is possible to clear the I bit with an instruction in the  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
93  
Chapter 7 Central Processor Unit (S08CPUV2)  
interrupt service routine, this would allow nesting of interrupts (which is not recommended because it  
leads to programs that are difficult to debug and maintain).  
For compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 MCUs, the high-order half of the H:X index register pair (H)  
is not saved on the stack as part of the interrupt sequence. The user must use a PSHH instruction at the  
beginning of the service routine to save H and then use a PULH instruction just before the RTI that ends  
the interrupt service routine. It is not necessary to save H if you are certain that the interrupt service routine  
does not use any instructions or auto-increment addressing modes that might change the value of H.  
The software interrupt (SWI) instruction is like a hardware interrupt except that it is not masked by the  
global I bit in the CCR and it is associated with an instruction opcode within the program so it is not  
asynchronous to program execution.  
7.4.3  
Wait Mode Operation  
The WAIT instruction enables interrupts by clearing the I bit in the CCR. It then halts the clocks to the  
CPU to reduce overall power consumption while the CPU is waiting for the interrupt or reset event that  
will wake the CPU from wait mode. When an interrupt or reset event occurs, the CPU clocks will resume  
and the interrupt or reset event will be processed normally.  
If a serial BACKGROUND command is issued to the MCU through the background debug interface while  
the CPU is in wait mode, CPU clocks will resume and the CPU will enter active background mode where  
other serial background commands can be processed. This ensures that a host development system can still  
gain access to a target MCU even if it is in wait mode.  
7.4.4  
Stop Mode Operation  
Usually, all system clocks, including the crystal oscillator (when used), are halted during stop mode to  
minimize power consumption. In such systems, external circuitry is needed to control the time spent in  
stop mode and to issue a signal to wake up the target MCU when it is time to resume processing. Unlike  
the earlier M68HC05 and M68HC08 MCUs, the HCS08 can be configured to keep a minimum set of  
clocks running in stop mode. This optionally allows an internal periodic signal to wake the target MCU  
from stop mode.  
When a host debug system is connected to the background debug pin (BKGD) and the ENBDM control  
bit has been set by a serial command through the background interface (or because the MCU was reset into  
active background mode), the oscillator is forced to remain active when the MCU enters stop mode. In this  
case, if a serial BACKGROUND command is issued to the MCU through the background debug interface  
while the CPU is in stop mode, CPU clocks will resume and the CPU will enter active background mode  
where other serial background commands can be processed. This ensures that a host development system  
can still gain access to a target MCU even if it is in stop mode.  
Recovery from stop mode depends on the particular HCS08 and whether the oscillator was stopped in stop  
mode. Refer to the Modes of Operation chapter for more details.

7.4.5  
BGND Instruction  
The BGND instruction is new to the HCS08 compared to the M68HC08. BGND would not be used in  
normal user programs because it forces the CPU to stop processing user instructions and enter the active  
background mode. The only way to resume execution of the user program is through reset or by a host  
debug system issuing a GO, TRACE1, or TAGGO serial command through the background debug  
interface.  
Software-based breakpoints can be set by replacing an opcode at the desired breakpoint address with the  
BGND opcode. When the program reaches this breakpoint address, the CPU is forced to active  
background mode rather than continuing the user program.

Analog Comparator (S08ACMPV2)  
8.1  
Introduction  
The analog comparator module (ACMP) provides a circuit for comparing two analog input voltages or for  
comparing one analog input voltage to an internal reference voltage. The comparator circuit is designed to  
operate across the full range of the supply voltage (rail-to-rail operation).  
Figure 8-1 shows the MC9S08QG8/4 block diagram with the ACMP highlighted.  
8.1.1  
ACMP Configuration Information  
When using the bandgap reference voltage for input to ACMP+, the user must enable the bandgap buffer  
by setting BGBE =1 in SPMSC1; see Section 5.8.8, “System Power Management Status and Control 1  
Register (SPMSC1)”. For the value of the bandgap voltage reference see Section A.5, “DC  
Characteristics”.  
To use ACMPO, the BKGDPE bit in SOPT1 must be cleared. This will disable the background debug  
mode and on-chip ICE.  
8.1.2  
ACMP/TPM Configuration Information  
The ACMP module can be configured to connect the output of the analog comparator to TPM input capture  
channel 0 by setting ACIC in SOPT2. With ACIC set, the TPMCH0 pin is not available externally  
regardless of the configuration of the TPM module.

Features  
The ACMP has the following features:  
Full rail-to-rail supply operation.  
Less than 40 mV of input offset.  
Less than 15 mV of hysteresis.  
Selectable interrupt on rising edge, falling edge, or either rising or falling edges of comparator  
output.  
Option to compare to fixed internal bandgap reference voltage.  
Option to allow comparator output to be visible on a pin, ACMPO.  
8.1.4  
Modes of Operation  
This section defines the ACMP operation in wait, stop, and background debug modes.  
8.1.4.1 ACMP in Wait Mode  
The ACMP continues to run in wait mode if enabled before executing the WAIT instruction. Therefore,  
the ACMP can be used to bring the MCU out of wait mode if the ACMP interrupt, ACIE, is enabled. For  
lowest possible current consumption, the ACMP should be disabled by software if not required as an  
interrupt source during wait mode.  
8.1.4.2  
ACMP in Stop Modes  
The ACMP is disabled in all stop modes, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP instruction.  
Therefore, the ACMP cannot be used as a wake up source from stop modes.  
During either stop1 or stop2 mode, the ACMP module will be fully powered down. Upon wake-up from  
stop1 or stop2 mode, the ACMP module will be in the reset state.  
During stop3 mode, clocks to the ACMP module are halted. No registers are affected. In addition, the  
ACMP comparator circuit will enter a low power state. No compare operation will occur while in stop3.  
If stop3 is exited with a reset, the ACMP will be put into its reset state. If stop3 is exited with an interrupt,  
the ACMP continues from the state it was in when stop3 was entered.  
8.1.4.3  
ACMP in Active Background Mode  
When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the ACMP will continue to operate normally.

External Signal Description  
The ACMP has two analog input pins, ACMP+ and ACMP– and one digital output pin ACMPO. Each of  
these pins can accept an input voltage that varies across the full operating voltage range of the MCU. As  
shown in Figure 8-2, the ACMP– pin is connected to the inverting input of the comparator, and the  
ACMP+ pin is connected to the comparator non-inverting input if ACBGS is a 0. As shown in Figure 8-2,  
the ACMPO pin can be enabled to drive an external pin.  
The signal properties of ACMP are shown in Table 8-1.

Refer to the direct-page register summary in the memory section of this data sheet for the absolute address  
assignments for all ACMP registers.This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names  
and relative address offsets.  
Some MCUs may have more than one ACMP, so register names include placeholder characters to identify  
which ACMP is being referenced.

Functional Description  
The analog comparator can be used to compare two analog input voltages applied to ACMP+ and ACMP–;  
or it can be used to compare an analog input voltage applied to ACMP– with an internal bandgap reference  
voltage. ACBGS is used to select between the bandgap reference voltage or the ACMP+ pin as the input  
to the non-inverting input of the analog comparator. The comparator output is high when the non-inverting  
input is greater than the inverting input, and is low when the non-inverting input is less than the inverting  
input. ACMOD is used to select the condition which will cause ACF to be set. ACF can be set on a rising  
edge of the comparator output, a falling edge of the comparator output, or either a rising or a falling edge  
(toggle). The comparator output can be read directly through ACO. The comparator output can be driven  
onto the ACMPO pin using ACOPE.

9.1.1.3  
Alternate Clock  
The ADC is capable of performing conversions using the MCU bus clock, the bus clock divided by two,  
or the local asynchronous clock (ADACK) within the module. The alternate clock, ALTCLK, input for the  
MC9S08QG8/4 MCU devices is not implemented.  
9.1.1.4  
Hardware Trigger  
The ADC hardware trigger, ADHWT, is output from the real-time interrupt (RTI) counter. The RTI counter  
can be clocked by either ICSERCLK or a nominal 1-kHz clock source within the RTI block.  
The period of the RTI is determined by the input clock frequency and the RTIS bits. The RTI counter is a  
free running counter that generates an overflow at the RTI rate determined by the RTIS bits. When the  
ADC hardware trigger is enabled, a conversion is initiated upon an RTI counter overflow.  
The RTI can be configured to cause a hardware trigger in MCU run, wait, and stop3.  
9.1.1.5  
Analog Pin Enables  
The ADC on MC9S08QG8 devices contains only one analog pin enable register, APCTL1.  
9.1.1.6  
Temperature Sensor  
The ADC module includes a temperature sensor whose output is connected to one of the ADC analog  
channel inputs. Equation 9-1 provides an approximate transfer function of the temperature sensor.  
Temp = 25 - ((V  
-V  
) ÷ m)  
TEMP25  
Eqn. 9-1  
TEMP  
where:  
— V  
— V  
is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at the ambient temperature.  
TEMP  
is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at 25°C.  
TEMP25  
— m is the hot or cold voltage versus temperature slope in V/°C.  
For temperature calculations, use the V  
and m values from Section A.10, “ADC Characteristics,”  
TEMP25  
in Appendix A, “Electrical Characteristics.”  
In application code, the user reads the temperature sensor channel, calculates V  
, and compares to  
TEMP  
V
. If V  
is greater than V  
, the cold slope value is applied in Equation 9-1. If V  
is  
TEMP25  
TEMP  
TEMP25  
TEMP  
less than V  
the hot slope value is applied in Equation 9-1.  
TEMP25  
9.1.1.7  
Low-Power Mode Operation  
The ADC is capable of running in stop3 mode but requires LVDSE and LVDE in SPMSC1 to be set.

Conversion Complete Flag — The COCO flag is a read-only bit which is set each time a conversion is  
completed when the compare function is disabled (ACFE = 0). When the compare function is enabled (ACFE =  
1) the COCO flag is set upon completion of a conversion only if the compare result is true. This bit is cleared  
whenever ADCSC1 is written or whenever ADCRL is read.

AIEN is high, an interrupt is asserted.

Continuous Conversion Enable — ADCO is used to enable continuous conversions.  
ADCO  
0 One conversion following a write to the ADCSC1 when software triggered operation is selected, or one  
conversion following assertion of ADHWT when hardware triggered operation is selected.  
1 Continuous conversions initiated following a write to ADCSC1 when software triggered operation is selected.  
Continuous conversions are initiated by an ADHWT event when hardware triggered operation is selected.  
4:0  
ADCH  
Input Channel Select — The ADCH bits form a 5-bit field which is used to select one of the input channels. The  
input channels are detailed in Figure 9-4.  
The successive approximation converter subsystem is turned off when the channel select bits are all set to 1.  
This feature allows for explicit disabling of the ADC and isolation of the input channel from all sources.  
Terminating continuous conversions this way will prevent an additional, single conversion from being performed.  
It is not necessary to set the channel select bits to all 1s to place the ADC in a low-power state when continuous  
conversions are not enabled because the module automatically enters a low-power state when a conversion

conversions both ADR8 and ADR9 are equal to zero. ADCRH is updated each time a conversion  
completes except when automatic compare is enabled and the compare condition is not met. In 10-bit  
MODE, reading ADCRH prevents the ADC from transferring subsequent conversion results into the result  
registers until ADCRL is read. If ADCRL is not read until after the next conversion is completed, then the  
intermediate conversion result will be lost. In 8-bit mode there is no interlocking with ADCRL. In the case  
that the MODE bits are changed, any data in ADCRH becomes invalid.

Functional Description  
The ADC module is disabled during reset or when the ADCH bits are all high. The module is idle when a  
conversion has completed and another conversion has not been initiated. When idle, the module is in its  
lowest power state.  
The ADC can perform an analog-to-digital conversion on any of the software selectable channels. The  
selected channel voltage is converted by a successive approximation algorithm into an 11-bit digital result.  
In 8-bit mode, the selected channel voltage is converted by a successive approximation algorithm into a  
9-bit digital result.  
When the conversion is completed, the result is placed in the data registers (ADCRH and ADCRL).In  
10-bit mode, the result is rounded to 10 bits and placed in ADCRH and ADCRL. In 8-bit mode, the result  
is rounded to 8 bits and placed in ADCRL. The conversion complete flag (COCO) is then set and an  
interrupt is generated if the conversion complete interrupt has been enabled (AIEN = 1).  
The ADC module has the capability of automatically comparing the result of a conversion with the  
contents of its compare registers. The compare function is enabled by setting the ACFE bit and operates  
in conjunction with any of the conversion modes and configurations.  
9.4.1  
Clock Select and Divide Control  
One of four clock sources can be selected as the clock source for the ADC module. This clock source is  
then divided by a configurable value to generate the input clock to the converter (ADCK). The clock is  
selected from one of the following sources by means of the ADICLK bits.  
The bus clock, which is equal to the frequency at which software is executed. This is the default  
selection following reset.  
The bus clock divided by 2. For higher bus clock rates, this allows a maximum divide by 16 of the  
bus clock.  
ALTCLK, as defined for this MCU (See module section introduction).  
The asynchronous clock (ADACK) – This clock is generated from a clock source within the ADC  
module. When selected as the clock source this clock remains active while the MCU is in wait or  
stop3 mode and allows conversions in these modes for lower noise operation.  
Whichever clock is selected, its frequency must fall within the specified frequency range for ADCK. If the  
available clocks are too slow, the ADC will not perform according to specifications. If the available clocks  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
130  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
are too fast, then the clock must be divided to the appropriate frequency. This divider is specified by the  
ADIV bits and can be divide-by 1, 2, 4, or 8.  
9.4.2  
Input Select and Pin Control  
The pin control registers (APCTL3, APCTL2, and APCTL1) are used to disable the I/O port control of the  
pins used as analog inputs.When a pin control register bit is set, the following conditions are forced for the  
associated MCU pin:  
The output buffer is forced to its high impedance state.  
The input buffer is disabled. A read of the I/O port returns a zero for any pin with its input buffer  
disabled.  
The pullup is disabled.  
9.4.3  
Hardware Trigger  
The ADC module has a selectable asynchronous hardware conversion trigger, ADHWT, that is enabled  
when the ADTRG bit is set. This source is not available on all MCUs. Consult the module introduction for  
information on the ADHWT source specific to this MCU.  
When ADHWT source is available and hardware trigger is enabled (ADTRG=1), a conversion is initiated  
on the rising edge of ADHWT. If a conversion is in progress when a rising edge occurs, the rising edge is  
ignored. In continuous convert configuration, only the initial rising edge to launch continuous conversions  
is observed. The hardware trigger function operates in conjunction with any of the conversion modes and  
configurations.  
9.4.4  
Conversion Control  
Conversions can be performed in either 10-bit mode or 8-bit mode as determined by the MODE bits.  
Conversions can be initiated by either a software or hardware trigger. In addition, the ADC module can be  
configured for low power operation, long sample time, continuous conversion, and automatic compare of  
the conversion result to a software determined compare value.  
9.4.4.1  
Initiating Conversions  
A conversion is initiated:  
Following a write to ADCSC1 (with ADCH bits not all 1s) if software triggered operation is  
selected.  
Following a hardware trigger (ADHWT) event if hardware triggered operation is selected.  
Following the transfer of the result to the data registers when continuous conversion is enabled.  
If continuous conversions are enabled a new conversion is automatically initiated after the completion of  
the current conversion. In software triggered operation, continuous conversions begin after ADCSC1 is  
written and continue until aborted. In hardware triggered operation, continuous conversions begin after a  
hardware trigger event and continue until aborted.

Freescale Semiconductor

Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
9.4.4.2  
Completing Conversions  
A conversion is completed when the result of the conversion is transferred into the data result registers,  
ADCRH and ADCRL. This is indicated by the setting of COCO. An interrupt is generated if AIEN is high  
at the time that COCO is set.  
A blocking mechanism prevents a new result from overwriting previous data in ADCRH and ADCRL if  
the previous data is in the process of being read while in 10-bit MODE (the ADCRH register has been read  
but the ADCRL register has not). When blocking is active, the data transfer is blocked, COCO is not set,  
and the new result is lost. In the case of single conversions with the compare function enabled and the  
compare condition false, blocking has no effect and ADC operation is terminated. In all other cases of  
operation, when a data transfer is blocked, another conversion is initiated regardless of the state of ADCO  
(single or continuous conversions enabled).  
If single conversions are enabled, the blocking mechanism could result in several discarded conversions  
and excess power consumption. To avoid this issue, the data registers must not be read after initiating a  
single conversion until the conversion completes.  
9.4.4.3  
Aborting Conversions  
Any conversion in progress will be aborted when:  
A write to ADCSC1 occurs (the current conversion will be aborted and a new conversion will be  
initiated, if ADCH are not all 1s).  
A write to ADCSC2, ADCCFG, ADCCVH, or ADCCVL occurs. This indicates a mode of  
operation change has occurred and the current conversion is therefore invalid.  
The MCU is reset.  
The MCU enters stop mode with ADACK not enabled.  
When a conversion is aborted, the contents of the data registers, ADCRH and ADCRL, are not altered but  
continue to be the values transferred after the completion of the last successful conversion. In the case that  
the conversion was aborted by a reset, ADCRH and ADCRL return to their reset states.  
9.4.4.4  
Power Control  
The ADC module remains in its idle state until a conversion is initiated. If ADACK is selected as the  
conversion clock source, the ADACK clock generator is also enabled.  
Power consumption when active can be reduced by setting ADLPC. This results in a lower maximum  
value for f  
(see the electrical specifications).  
ADCK  
9.4.4.5  
Total Conversion Time  
The total conversion time depends on the sample time (as determined by ADLSMP), the MCU bus  
frequency, the conversion mode (8-bit or 10-bit), and the frequency of the conversion clock (fADCK). After  
the module becomes active, sampling of the input begins. ADLSMP is used to select between short and  
long sample times.When sampling is complete, the converter is isolated from the input channel and a  
successive approximation algorithm is performed to determine the digital value of the analog signal. The  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
132  
Freescale Semiconductor  
 
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
result of the conversion is transferred to ADCRH and ADCRL upon completion of the conversion  
algorithm.  
If the bus frequency is less than the f  
frequency, precise sample time for continuous conversions  
ADCK  
cannot be guaranteed when short sample is enabled (ADLSMP=0). If the bus frequency is less than 1/11th  
of the f frequency, precise sample time for continuous conversions cannot be guaranteed when long  
ADCK  
sample is enabled (ADLSMP=1).  
The maximum total conversion time for different conditions is summarized in Table 9-12.

The maximum total conversion time is determined by the clock source chosen and the divide ratio selected.  
The clock source is selectable by the ADICLK bits, and the divide ratio is specified by the ADIV bits. For  
example, in 10-bit mode, with the bus clock selected as the input clock source, the input clock divide-by-1  
ratio selected, and a bus frequency of 8 MHz, then the conversion time for a single conversion is:

Automatic Compare Function  
The compare function can be configured to check for either an upper limit or lower limit. After the input  
is sampled and converted, the result is added to the two’s complement of the compare value (ADCCVH  
and ADCCVL). When comparing to an upper limit (ACFGT = 1), if the result is greater-than or equal-to  
the compare value, COCO is set. When comparing to a lower limit (ACFGT = 0), if the result is less than  
the compare value, COCO is set. The value generated by the addition of the conversion result and the two’s  
complement of the compare value is transferred to ADCRH and ADCRL.  
Upon completion of a conversion while the compare function is enabled, if the compare condition is not  
true, COCO is not set and no data is transferred to the result registers. An ADC interrupt is generated upon  
the setting of COCO if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).  
NOTE  
The compare function can be used to monitor the voltage on a channel while  
the MCU is in either wait or stop3 mode. The ADC interrupt will wake the  
MCU when the compare condition is met.  
9.4.6  
MCU Wait Mode Operation  
The WAIT instruction puts the MCU in a lower power-consumption standby mode from which recovery  
is very fast because the clock sources remain active. If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters  
wait mode, it continues until completion. Conversions can be initiated while the MCU is in wait mode by  
means of the hardware trigger or if continuous conversions are enabled.  
The bus clock, bus clock divided by two, and ADACK are available as conversion clock sources while in  
wait mode. The use of ALTCLK as the conversion clock source in wait is dependent on the definition of  
ALTCLK for this MCU. Consult the module introduction for information on ALTCLK specific to this  
MCU.  
A conversion complete event sets the COCO and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from wait  
mode if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).  
9.4.7  
MCU Stop3 Mode Operation  
The STOP instruction is used to put the MCU in a low power-consumption standby mode during which  
most or all clock sources on the MCU are disabled.  
9.4.7.1  
Stop3 Mode With ADACK Disabled  
If the asynchronous clock, ADACK, is not selected as the conversion clock, executing a STOP instruction  
aborts the current conversion and places the ADC in its idle state. The contents of ADCRH and ADCRL  
are unaffected by stop3 mode.After exiting from stop3 mode, a software or hardware trigger is required to  
resume conversions.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
134  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
9.4.7.2  
Stop3 Mode With ADACK Enabled  
If ADACK is selected as the conversion clock, the ADC continues operation during stop3 mode. For  
guaranteed ADC operation, the MCU’s voltage regulator must remain active during stop3 mode. Consult  
the module introduction for configuration information for this MCU.  
If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters stop3 mode, it continues until completion. Conversions  
can be initiated while the MCU is in stop3 mode by means of the hardware trigger or if continuous  
conversions are enabled.  
A conversion complete event sets the COCO and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from stop3  
mode if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).  
NOTE  
It is possible for the ADC module to wake the system from low power stop  
and cause the MCU to begin consuming run-level currents without  
generating a system level interrupt. To prevent this scenario, software  
should ensure that the data transfer blocking mechanism (discussed in  
Section 9.4.4.2, “Completing Conversions) is cleared when entering stop3  
and continuing ADC conversions.  
9.4.8  
MCU Stop1 and Stop2 Mode Operation  
The ADC module is automatically disabled when the MCU enters either stop1 or stop2 mode. All module  
registers contain their reset values following exit from stop1 or stop2. Therefore the module must be  
re-enabled and re-configured following exit from stop1 or stop2.  
9.5  
Initialization Information  
This section gives an example which provides some basic direction on how a user would initialize and  
configure the ADC module. The user has the flexibility of choosing between configuring the module for  
8-bit or 10-bit resolution, single or continuous conversion, and a polled or interrupt approach, among many  
other options. Refer to Table 9-6, Table 9-7, and Table 9-8 for information used in this example.

by a preceding %, and decimal values have no preceding character.

ADC Module Initialization Example  
Initialization Sequence  
9.5.1.1  
Before the ADC module can be used to complete conversions, an initialization procedure must be  
performed. A typical sequence is as follows:  
1. Update the configuration register (ADCCFG) to select the input clock source and the divide ratio  
used to generate the internal clock, ADCK. This register is also used for selecting sample time and  
low-power configuration.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
135  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
2. Update status and control register 2 (ADCSC2) to select the conversion trigger (hardware or  
software) and compare function options, if enabled.  
3. Update status and control register 1 (ADCSC1) to select whether conversions will be continuous  
or completed only once, and to enable or disable conversion complete interrupts. The input channel  
on which conversions will be performed is also selected here.

Application Information  
This section contains information for using the ADC module in applications. The ADC has been designed  
to be integrated into a microcontroller for use in embedded control applications requiring an A/D  
converter.  
9.6.1  
External Pins and Routing  
The following sections discuss the external pins associated with the ADC module and how they should be  
used for best results.  
9.6.1.1  
Analog Supply Pins  
The ADC module has analog power and ground supplies (V  
and V  
) which are available as  
DDAD  
SSAD  
separate pins on some devices. On other devices, V  
is shared on the same pin as the MCU digital V ,  
SSAD  
SS  
and on others, both V  
and V  
are shared with the MCU digital supply pins. In these cases, there  
SSAD  
DDAD  
are separate pads for the analog supplies which are bonded to the same pin as the corresponding digital  
supply so that some degree of isolation between the supplies is maintained.  
When available on a separate pin, both V  
and V  
must be connected to the same voltage potential  
SSAD  
DDAD  
as their corresponding MCU digital supply (V and V ) and must be routed carefully for maximum  
DD  
SS  
noise immunity and bypass capacitors placed as near as possible to the package.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
137  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
In cases where separate power supplies are used for analog and digital power, the ground connection  
between these supplies must be at the V  
pin. This should be the only ground connection between these  
SSAD  
supplies if possible. The V  
pin makes a good single point ground location.  
SSAD  
9.6.1.2  
Analog Reference Pins  
In addition to the analog supplies, the ADC module has connections for two reference voltage inputs. The  
high reference is V , which may be shared on the same pin as V on some devices. The low  
REFH  
DDAD  
reference is V  
, which may be shared on the same pin as V  
on some devices.  
REFL  
SSAD  
When available on a separate pin, V  
may be connected to the same potential as V  
, or may be  
REFH  
DDAD  
driven by an external source that is between the minimum V  
spec and the V  
potential (V  
DDAD  
DDAD REFH  
must never exceed V  
). When available on a separate pin, V  
must be connected to the same  
DDAD  
REFL  
voltage potential as V  
. Both V  
and V  
must be routed carefully for maximum noise  
SSAD  
REFH  
REFL  
immunity and bypass capacitors placed as near as possible to the package.  
AC current in the form of current spikes required to supply charge to the capacitor array at each successive  
approximation step is drawn through the V  
and V  
loop. The best external component to meet this  
REFH  
REFL  
current demand is a 0.1 μF capacitor with good high frequency characteristics. This capacitor is connected  
between V and V and must be placed as near as possible to the package pins. Resistance in the  
REFH  
REFL  
path is not recommended because the current will cause a voltage drop which could result in conversion  
errors. Inductance in this path must be minimum (parasitic only).  
9.6.1.3  
Analog Input Pins  
The external analog inputs are typically shared with digital I/O pins on MCU devices. The pin I/O control  
is disabled by setting the appropriate control bit in one of the pin control registers. Conversions can be  
performed on inputs without the associated pin control register bit set. It is recommended that the pin  
control register bit always be set when using a pin as an analog input. This avoids problems with contention  
because the output buffer will be in its high impedance state and the pullup is disabled. Also, the input  
buffer draws dc current when its input is not at either V or V . Setting the pin control register bits for  
DD  
SS  
all pins used as analog inputs should be done to achieve lowest operating current.  
Empirical data shows that capacitors on the analog inputs improve performance in the presence of noise  
or when the source impedance is high. Use of 0.01 μF capacitors with good high-frequency characteristics  
is sufficient. These capacitors are not necessary in all cases, but when used they must be placed as near as  
possible to the package pins and be referenced to V  
.
SSA  
For proper conversion, the input voltage must fall between V  
and V  
. If the input is equal to or  
REFH  
REFL  
exceeds V  
, the converter circuit converts the signal to $3FF (full scale 10-bit representation) or $FF  
REFH  
(full scale 8-bit representation). If the input is equal to or less than V  
, the converter circuit converts it  
REFL  
to $000. Input voltages between V  
and V  
are straight-line linear conversions. There will be a  
REFH  
REFL  
brief current associated with V  
when the sampling capacitor is charging. The input is sampled for  
REFL  
3.5 cycles of the ADCK source when ADLSMP is low, or 23.5 cycles when ADLSMP is high.  
For minimal loss of accuracy due to current injection, pins adjacent to the analog input pins should not be  
transitioning during conversions.

9.6.2  
Sources of Error  
Several sources of error exist for A/D conversions. These are discussed in the following sections.  
9.6.2.1 Sampling Error  
For proper conversions, the input must be sampled long enough to achieve the proper accuracy. Given the  
maximum input resistance of approximately 7kΩ and input capacitance of approximately 5.5 pF, sampling  
to within 1/4LSB (at 10-bit resolution) can be achieved within the minimum sample window (3.5 cycles @  
8 MHz maximum ADCK frequency) provided the resistance of the external analog source (R ) is kept  
AS  
below 5 kΩ.  
Higher source resistances or higher-accuracy sampling is possible by setting ADLSMP (to increase the  
sample window to 23.5 cycles) or decreasing ADCK frequency to increase sample time.  
9.6.2.2  
Pin Leakage Error  
Leakage on the I/O pins can cause conversion error if the external analog source resistance (R ) is high.  
AS  
N
If this error cannot be tolerated by the application, keep R lower than V  
/ (2 *I  
) for less than  
AS  
DDAD  
LEAK  
1/4LSB leakage error (N = 8 in 8-bit mode or 10 in 10-bit mode).  
9.6.2.3  
Noise-Induced Errors  
System noise which occurs during the sample or conversion process can affect the accuracy of the  
conversion. The ADC accuracy numbers are guaranteed as specified only if the following conditions are  
met:  
There is a 0.1 μF low-ESR capacitor from V  
There is a 0.1 μF low-ESR capacitor from V  
If inductive isolation is used from the primary supply, an additional 1 μF capacitor is placed from  
to V

Operate the MCU in wait or stop3 mode before initiating (hardware triggered conversions) or  
immediately after initiating (hardware or software triggered conversions) the ADC conversion.  
— For software triggered conversions, immediately follow the write to the ADCSC1 with a WAIT  
instruction or STOP instruction.  
— For stop3 mode operation, select ADACK as the clock source. Operation in stop3 reduces V  
noise but increases effective conversion time due to stop recovery.  
DD  
There is no I/O switching, input or output, on the MCU during the conversion.  
There are some situations where external system activity causes radiated or conducted noise emissions or  
excessive V noise is coupled into the ADC. In these situations, or when the MCU cannot be placed in  
DD  
wait or stop3 or I/O activity cannot be halted, these recommended actions may reduce the effect of noise  
on the accuracy:  
Place a 0.01 μF capacitor (C ) on the selected input channel to V

(this will

Freescale Semiconductor  
139  
 
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
Average the result by converting the analog input many times in succession and dividing the sum  
of the results. Four samples are required to eliminate the effect of a 1LSB, one-time error.  
Reduce the effect of synchronous noise by operating off the asynchronous clock (ADACK) and  
averaging. Noise that is synchronous to ADCK cannot be averaged out.  
9.6.2.4  
Code Width and Quantization Error  
The ADC quantizes the ideal straight-line transfer function into 1024 steps (in 10-bit mode). Each step  
ideally has the same height (1 code) and width. The width is defined as the delta between the transition  
points to one code and the next. The ideal code width for an N bit converter (in this case N can be 8 or 10),  
defined as 1LSB, is:  
N
1LSB = (V  
- V  
) / 2  
REFL  
Eqn. 9-2  
REFH  
There is an inherent quantization error due to the digitization of the result. For 8-bit or 10-bit conversions  
the code will transition when the voltage is at the midpoint between the points where the straight line  
transfer function is exactly represented by the actual transfer function. Therefore, the quantization error  
will be ± 1/2LSB in 8- or 10-bit mode. As a consequence, however, the code width of the first ($000)  
conversion is only 1/2LSB and the code width of the last ($FF or $3FF) is 1.5LSB.  
9.6.2.5  
Linearity Errors  
The ADC may also exhibit non-linearity of several forms. Every effort has been made to reduce these  
errors but the system should be aware of them because they affect overall accuracy. These errors are:  
Zero-scale error (E ) (sometimes called offset) — This error is defined as the difference between  
ZS  
the actual code width of the first conversion and the ideal code width (1/2LSB). Note, if the first  
conversion is $001, then the difference between the actual $001 code width and its ideal (1LSB) is  
used.  
Full-scale error (E ) — This error is defined as the difference between the actual code width of  
FS  
the last conversion and the ideal code width (1.5LSB). Note, if the last conversion is $3FE, then the  
difference between the actual $3FE code width and its ideal (1LSB) is used.  
Differential non-linearity (DNL) — This error is defined as the worst-case difference between the  
actual code width and the ideal code width for all conversions.  
Integral non-linearity (INL) — This error is defined as the highest-value the (absolute value of the)  
running sum of DNL achieves. More simply, this is the worst-case difference of the actual  
transition voltage to a given code and its corresponding ideal transition voltage, for all codes.  
Total unadjusted error (TUE) — This error is defined as the difference between the actual transfer  
function and the ideal straight-line transfer function, and therefore includes all forms of error.  
9.6.2.6  
Code Jitter, Non-Monotonicity and Missing Codes  
Analog-to-digital converters are susceptible to three special forms of error. These are code jitter,  
non-monotonicity, and missing codes.  
Code jitter is when, at certain points, a given input voltage converts to one of two values when sampled  
repeatedly. Ideally, when the input voltage is infinitesimally smaller than the transition voltage, the  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
140  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (S08ADC10V1)  
converter yields the lower code (and vice-versa). However, even very small amounts of system noise can  
cause the converter to be indeterminate (between two codes) for a range of input voltages around the  
transition voltage. This range is normally around ±1/2 LSB and will increase with noise. This error may be  
reduced by repeatedly sampling the input and averaging the result. Additionally the techniques discussed  
in Section 9.6.2.3 will reduce this error.  
Non-monotonicity is defined as when, except for code jitter, the converter converts to a lower code for a  
higher input voltage. Missing codes are those values which are never converted for any input value.  
In 8-bit or 10-bit mode, the ADC is guaranteed to be monotonic and to have no missing codes.

Internal Clock Source (S08ICSV1)  
10.1 Introduction  
The internal clock source (ICS) module provides clock source choices for the MCU. The module contains  
a frequency-locked loop (FLL) as a clock source that is controllable by either an internal or an external  
reference clock. The module can provide this FLL clock or either of the internal or external reference  
clocks as a source for the MCU system clock. There are also signals provided to control a low power  
oscillator (XOSC) module to allow the use of an external crystal/resonator as the external reference clock.  
Whichever clock source is chosen, it is passed through a reduced bus divider (BDIV) which allows a lower  
final output clock frequency to be derived.  
The bus frequency will be one-half of the ICSOUT frequency.  
NOTE  
The external reference clock is not available on all packages. See Table 1-1  
for external clock availability for each package option.  
10.1.1 Module Configuration  
When the internal reference is enabled in stop mode (IREFSTEN = 1), the voltage regulator must also be  
enabled in stop mode by setting the LVDE and LVDSE bits in the SPMSC1 register.  
On this MCU, the internal reference is not connected to any module that is operational in stop mode.  
Therefore, the IREFSTEN bit in the ICSC1 register should always be cleared.  
Figure 10-1 shows the MC9S08QG8/4 block diagram with the ICS highlighted.  
10.1.2 Factory Trim Value  
A factory trim value is stored in FLASH during production testing. To be used, this value must be copied  
from FLASH memory to the ICSTRM register. A factory value for this FTRIM bit is also stored in FLASH  
and must be copied into the FTRIM bit in the ICSSC register. See Table 4-4 for the FLASH locations of  
the factory ICSTRM and FTRIM values.

ICSERCLK will be active in stop mode when all the following conditions occur:  
ERCLKEN bit is written to 1  
EREFSTEN bit is written to 1  
10.4.2 Mode Switching  
When switching between FLL engaged internal (FEI) and FLL engaged external (FEE) modes the IREFS  
bit can be changed at anytime, but the RDIV bits must be changed simultaneously so that the resulting  
frequency stays in the range of 31.25 kHz to 39.0625 kHz. After a change in the IREFS value the FLL will  
begin locking again after a few full cycles of the resulting divided reference frequency.  
The CLKS bits can also be changed at anytime, but the RDIV bits must be changed simultaneously so that  
the resulting frequency stays in the range of 31.25 kHz to 39.0625 kHz. The actual switch to the newly  
selected clock will not occur until after a few full cycles of the new clock. If the newly selected clock is  
not available, the previous clock will remain selected.  
10.4.3 Bus Frequency Divider  
The BDIV bits can be changed at anytime and the actual switch to the new frequency will occur  
immediately.

152  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Internal Clock Source (S08ICSV1)  
10.4.4 Low Power Bit Usage  
The low power bit (LP) is provided to allow the FLL to be disabled and thus conserve power when it is  
not being used. However, in some applications it may be desirable to enable the FLL and allow it to lock  
for maximum accuracy before switching to an FLL engaged mode. Do this by writing the LP bit to 0.  
10.4.5 Internal Reference Clock  
When IRCLKEN is set the internal reference clock signal will be presented as ICSIRCLK, which can be  
used as an additional clock source. The ICSIRCLK frequency can be re-targeted by trimming the period  
of the internal reference clock. This can be done by writing a new value to the TRIM bits in the ICSTRM  
register. Writing a larger value will slow down the ICSIRCLK frequency, and writing a smaller value to  
the ICSTRM register will speed up the ICSIRCLK frequency. The TRIM bits will effect the ICSOUT  
frequency if the ICS is in FLL engaged internal (FEI), FLL bypassed internal (FBI), or FLL bypassed  
internal low power (FBILP) mode. The TRIM and FTRIM value will not be affected by a reset.  
Until ICSIRCLK is trimmed, programming low reference divider (RDIV) factors may result in ICSOUT  
frequencies that exceed the maximum chip-level frequency and violate the chip-level clock timing  
specifications (see the Device Overview chapter).  
If IREFSTEN is set and the IRCLKEN bit is written to 1, the internal reference clock will keep running  
during stop mode in order to provide a fast recovery upon exiting stop.  
All MCU devices are factory programmed with a trim value in a reserved memory location. This value can  
be copied to the ICSTRM register during reset initialization. The factory trim value does not include the  
FTRIM bit. For finer precision, the user can trim the internal oscillator in the application and set the  
FTRIM bit accordingly.  
10.4.6 Optional External Reference Clock  
The ICS module can support an external reference clock with frequencies between 31.25 kHz to 5 MHz  
in all modes. When the ERCLKEN is set, the external reference clock signal will be presented as  
ICSERCLK, which can be used as an additional clock source. When IREFS = 1, the external reference  
clock will not be used by the FLL and will only be used as ICSERCLK. In these modes, the frequency can  
be equal to the maximum frequency the chip-level timing specifications will support (see the Device  
Overview chapter).  
If EREFSTEN is set and the ERCLKEN bit is written to 1, the external reference clock will keep running  
during stop mode in order to provide a fast recovery upon exiting stop.  
10.4.7 Fixed Frequency Clock  
The ICS provides the divided FLL reference clock as ICSFFCLK for use as an additional clock source for  
peripheral modules. The ICS provides an output signal (ICSFFE) which indicates when the ICS is  
providing ICSOUT frequencies four times or greater than the divided FLL reference clock (ICSFFCLK).  
In FLL engaged mode (FEI and FEE), this is always true and ICSFFE is always high. In ICS Bypass  
modes, ICSFFE will get asserted for the following combinations of BDIV and RDIV values:

Inter-Integrated Circuit (S08IICV1)  
11.1 Introduction  
The inter-integrated circuit (IIC) provides a method of communication between a number of devices. The  
interface is designed to operate up to 100 kbps with maximum bus loading and timing. The device is  
capable of operating at higher baud rates, up to a maximum of clock/20, with reduced bus loading. The  
maximum communication length and the number of devices that can be connected are limited by a  
maximum bus capacitance of 400 pF.  
11.1.1 Module Configuration  
The IIC module pins, SDA and SCL can be repositioned under software control using IICPS in SOPT2 as  
as shown in Table 11-1. IICPS in SOPT2 selects which general-purpose I/O ports are associated with IIC  
operation.

Wait mode — The module will continue to operate while the MCU is in wait mode and can provide  
a wake-up interrupt.  
Stop mode — The IIC is inactive in stop3 mode for reduced power consumption. The STOP  
instruction does not affect IIC register states. Stop2 will reset the register contents.

ICR  
IIC Clock Rate — The ICR bits are used to prescale the bus clock for bit rate selection. These bits are used to  
define the SCL divider and the SDA hold value. The SCL divider multiplied by the value provided by the MULT  
register (multiplier factor mul) is used to generate IIC baud rate.  
IIC baud rate = bus speed (Hz)/(mul * SCL divider)  
SDA hold time is the delay from the falling edge of the SCL (IIC clock) to the changing of SDA (IIC data). The ICR  
is used to determine the SDA hold value.  
SDA hold time = bus period (s) * SDA hold value  
Table 11-4 provides the SCL divider and SDA hold values for corresponding values of the ICR. These values can  
be used to set IIC baud rate and SDA hold time. For example:  
Bus speed = 8 MHz  
MULT is set to 01 (mul = 2)  
Desired IIC baud rate = 100 kbps  
IIC baud rate = bus speed (Hz)/(mul * SCL divider)  
100000 = 8000000/(2*SCL divider)  
SCL divider = 40  
Table 11-4 shows that ICR must be set to 0B to provide an SCL divider of 40 and that this will result in an SDA  
hold value of 9.  
SDA hold time = bus period (s) * SDA hold value  
SDA hold time = 1/8000000 * 9 = 1.125 μs  
If the generated SDA hold value is not acceptable, the MULT bits can be used to change the ICR. This will result  
in a different SDA hold value.

Data — In master transmit mode, when data is written to the IICD, a data transfer is initiated. The most significant  
DATA  
bit is sent first. In master receive mode, reading this register initiates receiving of the next byte of data.  
NOTE  
When transmitting out of master receive mode, the IIC mode should be  
switched before reading the IICD register to prevent an inadvertent  
initiation of a master receive data transfer.  
In slave mode, the same functions are available after an address match has occurred.  
Note that the TX bit in IICC must correctly reflect the desired direction of transfer in master and slave  
modes for the transmission to begin. For instance, if the IIC is configured for master transmit but a master  
receive is desired, then reading the IICD will not initiate the receive.  
Reading the IICD will return the last byte received while the IIC is configured in either master receive or  
slave receive modes. The IICD does not reflect every byte that is transmitted on the IIC bus, nor can  
software verify that a byte has been written to the IICD correctly by reading it back.  
In master transmit mode, the first byte of data written to IICD following assertion of MST is used for the  
address transfer and should comprise of the calling address (in bit 7–bit 1) concatenated with the required  
R/W bit (in position bit 0).

11.4 Functional Description  
This section provides a complete functional description of the IIC module.  
11.4.1 IIC Protocol  
The IIC bus system uses a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) for data transfer. All devices  
connected to it must have open drain or open collector outputs. A logic AND function is exercised on both  
lines with external pull-up resistors. The value of these resistors is system dependent.  
Normally, a standard communication is composed of four parts:  
START signal  
Slave address transmission  
Data transfer  
STOP signal  
The STOP signal should not be confused with the CPU STOP instruction. The IIC bus system  
communication is described briefly in the following sections and illustrated in Figure 11-8.

Inter-Integrated Circuit (S08IICV1)  
11.4.1.1 START Signal  
When the bus is free; i.e., no master device is engaging the bus (both SCL and SDA lines are at logical  
high), a master may initiate communication by sending a START signal. As shown in Figure 11-8, a  
START signal is defined as a high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high. This signal denotes the  
beginning of a new data transfer (each data transfer may contain several bytes of data) and brings all slaves  
out of their idle states.  
11.4.1.2 Slave Address Transmission  
The first byte of data transferred immediately after the START signal is the slave address transmitted by  
the master. This is a seven-bit calling address followed by a R/W bit. The R/W bit tells the slave the desired  
direction of data transfer.  
1 = Read transfer, the slave transmits data to the master.  
0 = Write transfer, the master transmits data to the slave.  
Only the slave with a calling address that matches the one transmitted by the master will respond by  
sending back an acknowledge bit. This is done by pulling the SDA low at the 9th clock (see Figure 11-8).  
No two slaves in the system may have the same address. If the IIC module is the master, it must not  
transmit an address that is equal to its own slave address. The IIC cannot be master and slave at the same  
time. However, if arbitration is lost during an address cycle, the IIC will revert to slave mode and operate  
correctly even if it is being addressed by another master.  
11.4.1.3 Data Transfer  
Before successful slave addressing is achieved, the data transfer can proceed byte-by-byte in a direction  
specified by the R/W bit sent by the calling master.  
All transfers that come after an address cycle are referred to as data transfers, even if they carry sub-address  
information for the slave device  
Each data byte is 8 bits long. Data may be changed only while SCL is low and must be held stable while  
SCL is high as shown in Figure 11-8. There is one clock pulse on SCL for each data bit, the MSB being  
transferred first. Each data byte is followed by a 9th (acknowledge) bit, which is signalled from the  
receiving device. An acknowledge is signalled by pulling the SDA low at the ninth clock. In summary, one  
complete data transfer needs nine clock pulses.  
If the slave receiver does not acknowledge the master in the 9th bit time, the SDA line must be left high  
by the slave. The master interprets the failed acknowledge as an unsuccessful data transfer.  
If the master receiver does not acknowledge the slave transmitter after a data byte transmission, the slave  
interprets this as an end of data transfer and releases the SDA line.  
In either case, the data transfer is aborted and the master does one of two things:  
Relinquishes the bus by generating a STOP signal.  
Commences a new calling by generating a repeated START signal.

166  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Inter-Integrated Circuit (S08IICV1)  
11.4.1.4 STOP Signal  
The master can terminate the communication by generating a STOP signal to free the bus. However, the  
master may generate a START signal followed by a calling command without generating a STOP signal  
first. This is called repeated START. A STOP signal is defined as a low-to-high transition of SDA while  
SCL at logical 1 (see Figure 11-8).  
The master can generate a STOP even if the slave has generated an acknowledge at which point the slave  
must release the bus.  
11.4.1.5 Repeated START Signal  
As shown in Figure 11-8, a repeated START signal is a START signal generated without first generating  
a STOP signal to terminate the communication. This is used by the master to communicate with another  
slave or with the same slave in different mode (transmit/receive mode) without releasing the bus.  
11.4.1.6 Arbitration Procedure  
The IIC bus is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two or  
more masters try to control the bus at the same time, a clock synchronization procedure determines the bus  
clock, for which the low period is equal to the longest clock low period and the high is equal to the shortest  
one among the masters. The relative priority of the contending masters is determined by a data arbitration  
procedure, a bus master loses arbitration if it transmits logic 1 while another master transmits logic 0. The  
losing masters immediately switch over to slave receive mode and stop driving SDA output. In this case,  
the transition from master to slave mode does not generate a STOP condition. Meanwhile, a status bit is  
set by hardware to indicate loss of arbitration.  
11.4.1.7 Clock Synchronization  
Because wire-AND logic is performed on the SCL line, a high-to-low transition on the SCL line affects all  
the devices connected on the bus. The devices start counting their low period and after a device’s clock has  
gone low, it holds the SCL line low until the clock high state is reached. However, the change of low to  
high in this device clock may not change the state of the SCL line if another device clock is still within its  
low period. Therefore, synchronized clock SCL is held low by the device with the longest low period.  
Devices with shorter low periods enter a high wait state during this time (see Figure 11-9). When all  
devices concerned have counted off their low period, the synchronized clock SCL line is released and  
pulled high. There is then no difference between the device clocks and the state of the SCL line and all the  
devices start counting their high periods. The first device to complete its high period pulls the SCL line  
low again.

11.4.1.8 Handshaking  
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used as a handshake in data transfer. Slave devices may hold  
the SCL low after completion of one byte transfer (9 bits). In such case, it halts the bus clock and forces  
the master clock into wait states until the slave releases the SCL line.  
11.4.1.9 Clock Stretching  
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used by slaves to slow down the bit rate of a transfer. After  
the master has driven SCL low the slave can drive SCL low for the required period and then release it. If  
the slave SCL low period is greater than the master SCL low period then the resulting SCL bus signal low  
period is stretched.  
11.5 Resets  
The IIC is disabled after reset. The IIC cannot cause an MCU reset.  
11.6 Interrupts  
The IIC generates a single interrupt.  
An interrupt from the IIC is generated when any of the events in Table 11-8 occur provided the IICIE bit  
is set. The interrupt is driven by bit IICIF (of the IIC status register) and masked with bit IICIE (of the IIC  
control register). The IICIF bit must be cleared by software by writing a one to it in the interrupt routine.  
The user can determine the interrupt type by reading the status register.

The TCF (transfer complete flag) bit is set at the falling edge of the 9th clock to indicate the completion

11.6.2 Address Detect Interrupt  
When the calling address matches the programmed slave address (IIC address register), the IAAS bit in  
the status register is set. The CPU is interrupted provided the IICIE is set. The CPU must check the SRW  
bit and set its Tx mode accordingly.  
11.6.3 Arbitration Lost Interrupt  
The IIC is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two or more  
masters try to control the bus at the same time, the relative priority of the contending masters is determined  
by a data arbitration procedure. The IIC module asserts this interrupt when it loses the data arbitration  
process and the ARBL bit in the status register is set.  
Arbitration is lost in the following circumstances:  
SDA sampled as a low when the master drives a high during an address or data transmit cycle.  
SDA sampled as a low when the master drives a high during the acknowledge bit of a data receive  
cycle.  
A START cycle is attempted when the bus is busy.  
A repeated START cycle is requested in slave mode.  
A STOP condition is detected when the master did not request it.  
This bit must be cleared by software by writing a one to it.

Keyboard Interrupts (S08KBIV2)  
12.1.1 Features  
The KBI features include:  
Up to eight keyboard interrupt pins with individual pin enable bits.  
Each keyboard interrupt pin is programmable as falling edge (or rising edge) only, or both falling  
edge and low level (or both rising edge and high level) interrupt sensitivity.  
One software enabled keyboard interrupt.  
Exit from low-power modes.  
12.1.2 Modes of Operation  
This section defines the KBI operation in wait, stop, and background debug modes.  
12.1.2.1 KBI in Wait Mode  
The KBI continues to operate in wait mode if enabled before executing the WAIT instruction. Therefore,  
an enabled KBI pin (KBPEx = 1) can be used to bring the MCU out of wait mode if the KBI interrupt is  
enabled (KBIE = 1).  
12.1.2.2 KBI in Stop Modes  
The KBI operates asynchronously in stop3 mode if enabled before executing the STOP instruction.  
Therefore, an enabled KBI pin (KBPEx = 1) can be used to bring the MCU out of stop3 mode if the KBI  
interrupt is enabled (KBIE = 1).  
During either stop1 or stop2 mode, the KBI is disabled. In some systems, the pins associated with the KBI  
may be sources of wakeup from stop1 or stop2, see the stop modes section in the Modes of Operation  
chapter. Upon wake-up from stop1 or stop2 mode, the KBI module will be in the reset state.  
12.1.2.3 KBI in Active Background Mode  
When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the KBI will continue to operate normally.

12.4 Functional Description  
This on-chip peripheral module is called a keyboard interrupt (KBI) module because originally it was  
designed to simplify the connection and use of row-column matrices of keyboard switches. However, these  
inputs are also useful as extra external interrupt inputs and as an external means of waking the MCU from  
stop or wait low-power modes.  
The KBI module allows up to eight pins to act as additional interrupt sources. Writing to the KBIPEn bits  
in the keyboard interrupt pin enable register (KBIPE) independently enables or disables each KBI pin.  
Each KBI pin can be configured as edge sensitive or edge and level sensitive based on the KBMOD bit in  
the keyboard interrupt status and control register (KBISC). Edge sensitive can be software programmed to  
be either falling or rising; the level can be either low or high. The polarity of the edge or edge and level  
sensitivity is selected using the KBEDGn bits in the keyboard interrupt edge select register (KBIES).  
12.4.1 Edge Only Sensitivity  
Synchronous logic is used to detect edges. A falling edge is detected when an enabled keyboard interrupt  
(KBIPEn=1) input signal is seen as a logic 1 (the deasserted level) during one bus cycle and then a logic 0  
(the asserted level) during the next cycle. A rising edge is detected when the input signal is seen as a logic  
0 (the deasserted level) during one bus cycle and then a logic 1 (the asserted level) during the next  
cycle.Before the first edge is detected, all enabled keyboard interrupt input signals must be at the  
deasserted logic levels. After any edge is detected, all enabled keyboard interrupt input signals must return  
to the deasserted level before any new edge can be detected.  
A valid edge on an enabled KBI pin will set KBF in KBISC. If KBIE in KBISC is set, an interrupt request  
will be presented to the CPU. Clearing of KBF is accomplished by writing a 1 to KBACK in KBISC.  
12.4.2 Edge and Level Sensitivity  
A valid edge or level on an enabled KBI pin will set KBF in KBISC. If KBIE in KBISC is set, an interrupt  
request will be presented to the CPU. Clearing of KBF is accomplished by writing a 1 to KBACK in  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
178  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Keyboard Interrupts (S08KBIV2)  
KBISC provided all enabled keyboard inputs are at their deasserted levels. KBF will remain set if any  
enabled KBI pin is asserted while attempting to clear by writing a 1 to KBACK.  
12.4.3 KBI Pullup/Pulldown Resistors  
The KBI pins can be configured to use an internal pullup/pulldown resistor using the associated I/O port  
pullup enable register. If an internal resistor is enabled, the KBIES register is used to select whether the  
resistor is a pullup (KBEDGn = 0) or a pulldown (KBEDGn = 1).  
12.4.4 KBI Initialization  
When a keyboard interrupt pin is first enabled it is possible to get a false keyboard interrupt flag. To  
prevent a false interrupt request during keyboard initialization, the user should do the following:  
1. Mask keyboard interrupts by clearing KBIE in KBISC.  
2. Enable the KBI polarity by setting the appropriate KBEDGn bits in KBIES.  
3. If using internal pullup/pulldown device, configure the associated pullup enable bits in PTxPE.  
4. Enable the KBI pins by setting the appropriate KBIPEn bits in KBIPE.  
5. Write to KBACK in KBISC to clear any false interrupts.  
6. Set KBIE in KBISC to enable interrupts.

Modulo Timer (S08MTIMV1)  
13.1 Introduction  
The MTIM is a simple 8-bit timer with several software selectable clock sources and a programmable  
interrupt.  
The central component of the MTIM is the 8-bit counter, which can operate as a free-running counter or a  
modulo counter. A timer overflow interrupt can be enabled to generate periodic interrupts for time-based  
software loops.  
Figure 13-1 shows the MC9S08QG8/4 block diagram with the MTIM highlighted.  
13.1.1 MTIM/TPM Configuration Information  
The external clock for the MTIM module, TCLK, is selected by setting CLKS = 1:1 or 1:0 in MTIMCLK,  
which selects the TCLK pin input. The TCLK input on PTA5 can be enabled as external clock inputs to  
both the MTIM and TPM modules simultaneously.

13.1.2 Features  
Timer system features include:  
8-bit up-counter  
— Free-running or 8-bit modulo limit  
— Software controllable interrupt on overflow  
— Counter reset bit (TRST)  
— Counter stop bit (TSTP)  
Four software selectable clock sources for input to prescaler:  
— System bus clock — rising edge  
— Fixed frequency clock (XCLK) — rising edge  
— External clock source on the TCLK pin — rising edge  
— External clock source on the TCLK pin — falling edge  
Nine selectable clock prescale values:  
— Clock source divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256  
13.1.3 Modes of Operation  
This section defines the MTIM’s operation in stop, wait and background debug modes.  
13.1.3.1 MTIM in Wait Mode  
The MTIM continues to run in wait mode if enabled before executing the WAIT instruction. Therefore,  
the MTIM can be used to bring the MCU out of wait mode if the timer overflow interrupt is enabled. For  
lowest possible current consumption, the MTIM should be stopped by software if not needed as an  
interrupt source during wait mode.  
13.1.3.2 MTIM in Stop Modes  
The MTIM is disabled in all stop modes, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP instruction.  
Therefore, the MTIM cannot be used as a wake up source from stop modes.  
Waking from stop1 and stop2 modes, the MTIM will be put into its reset state. If stop3 is exited with a  
reset, the MTIM will be put into its reset state. If stop3 is exited with an interrupt, the MTIM continues  
from the state it was in when stop3 was entered. If the counter was active upon entering stop3, the count  
will resume from the current value.  
13.1.3.3 MTIM in Active Background Mode  
The MTIM suspends all counting until the microcontroller returns to normal user operating mode.  
Counting resumes from the suspended value as long as an MTIM reset did not occur (TRST written to a 1  
or MTIMMOD written).

13.2 External Signal Description  
The MTIM includes one external signal, TCLK, used to input an external clock when selected as the

I
The TCLK input must be synchronized by the bus clock. Also, variations in duty cycle and clock jitter  
must be accommodated. Therefore, the TCLK signal must be limited to one-fourth of the bus frequency.  
The TCLK pin can be muxed with a general-purpose port pin. See the Pins and Connections chapter for  
the pin location and priority of this function.

Modulo Timer (S08MTIMV1)  
13.4 Functional Description  
The MTIM is composed of a main 8-bit up-counter with an 8-bit modulo register, a clock source selector,  
and a prescaler block with nine selectable values. The module also contains software selectable interrupt  
logic.  
The MTIM counter (MTIMCNT) has three modes of operation: stopped, free-running, and modulo. Out of  
reset, the counter is stopped. If the counter is started without writing a new value to the modulo register,  
then the counter will be in free-running mode. The counter is in modulo mode when a value other than $00  
is in the modulo register while the counter is running.  
After any MCU reset, the counter is stopped and reset to $00, and the modulus is set to $00. The bus clock  
is selected as the default clock source and the prescale value is divide by 1. To start the MTIM in  
free-running mode, simply write to the MTIM status and control register (MTIMSC) and clear the MTIM  
stop bit (TSTP).  
Four clock sources are software selectable: the internal bus clock, the fixed frequency clock (XCLK), and  
an external clock on the TCLK pin, selectable as incrementing on either rising or falling edges. The MTIM  
clock select bits (CLKS1:CLKS0) in MTIMSC are used to select the desired clock source. If the counter is  
active (TSTP = 0) when a new clock source is selected, the counter will continue counting from the  
previous value using the new clock source.  
Nine prescale values are software selectable: clock source divided by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256.  
The prescaler select bits (PS[3:0]) in MTIMSC select the desired prescale value. If the counter is active  
(TSTP = 0) when a new prescaler value is selected, the counter will continue counting from the previous  
value using the new prescaler value.  
The MTIM modulo register (MTIMMOD) allows the overflow compare value to be set to any value from  
$01 to $FF. Reset clears the modulo value to $00, which results in a free running counter.  
When the counter is active (TSTP = 0), the counter increments at the selected rate until the count matches  
the modulo value. When these values match, the counter overflows to $00 and continues counting. The  
MTIM overflow flag (TOF) is set whenever the counter overflows. The flag sets on the transition from the  
modulo value to $00. Writing to MTIMMOD while the counter is active resets the counter to $00 and clears  
TOF.  
Clearing TOF is a two-step process. The first step is to read the MTIMSC register while TOF is set. The  
second step is to write a 0 to TOF. If another overflow occurs between the first and second steps, the  
clearing process is reset and TOF will remain set after the second step is performed. This will prevent the  
second occurrence from being missed. TOF is also cleared when a 1 is written to TRST or when any value  
is written to the MTIMMOD register.  
The MTIM allows for an optional interrupt to be generated whenever TOF is set. To enable the MTIM  
overflow interrupt, set the MTIM overflow interrupt enable bit (TOIE) in MTIMSC. TOIE should never be  
written to a 1 while TOF = 1. Instead, TOF should be cleared first, then the TOIE can be set to 1.

Figure 13-8. MTIM counter overflow example  
In the example of Figure 13-8, the selected clock source could be any of the five possible choices. The  
prescaler is set to PS = %0010 or divide-by-4. The modulo value in the MTIMMOD register is set to $AA.  
When the counter, MTIMCNT, reaches the modulo value of $AA, the counter overflows to $00 and  
continues counting. The timer overflow flag, TOF, sets when the counter value changes from $AA to $00.  
An MTIM overflow interrupt is generated when TOF is set, if TOIE = 1.

14.2 Register Definition  
The SCI has eight 8-bit registers to control baud rate, select SCI options, report SCI status, and for  
transmit/receive data.  
Refer to the direct-page register summary in the Memory chapter of this data sheet for the absolute address  
assignments for all SCI registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A  
Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute  
addresses.  
14.2.1 SCI Baud Rate Registers (SCIBDH, SCIBDL)  
This pair of registers controls the prescale divisor for SCI baud rate generation. To update the 13-bit baud  
rate setting [SBR12:SBR0], first write to SCIBDH to buffer the high half of the new value and then write  
to SCIBDL. The working value in SCIBDH does not change until SCIBDL is written.  
SCIBDL is reset to a non-zero value, so after reset the baud rate generator remains disabled until the first  
time the receiver or transmitter is enabled (RE or TE bits in SCIC2 are written to 1).

TE must be 1 in order to use the SCI transmitter. When TE = 1, the SCI forces the TxD pin to act as an output  
for the SCI system.  
When the SCI is configured for single-wire operation (LOOPS = RSRC = 1), TXDIR controls the direction of  
traffic on the single SCI communication line (TxD pin).  
TE also can be used to queue an idle character by writing TE = 0 then TE = 1 while a transmission is in progress.  
Refer to Section 14.3.2.1, “Send Break and Queued Idle,” for more details.  
When TE is written to 0, the transmitter keeps control of the port TxD pin until any data, queued idle, or queued  
break character finishes transmitting before allowing the pin to revert to a general-purpose I/O pin.

line between messages (WAKE = 0, idle-line wakeup), or a logic 1 in the most significant data bit in a character  
(WAKE = 1, address-mark wakeup). Application software sets RWU and (normally) a selected hardware

Receive Data Register Full Flag — RDRF becomes set when a character transfers from the receive shifter into  
RDRF

(SCID).  
0 Receive data register empty.  
1 Receive data register full.  
4
IDLE  
Idle Line Flag — IDLE is set when the SCI receive line becomes idle for a full character time after a period of  
activity. When ILT = 0, the receiver starts counting idle bit times after the start bit. So if the receive character is  
all 1s, these bit times and the stop bit time count toward the full character time of logic high (10 or 11 bit times  
depending on the M control bit) needed for the receiver to detect an idle line. When ILT = 1, the receiver doesn’t  
start counting idle bit times until after the stop bit. So the stop bit and any logic high bit times at the end of the  
previous character do not count toward the full character time of logic high needed for the receiver to detect an  
idle line.  
To clear IDLE, read SCIS1 with IDLE = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCID). After IDLE has been  
cleared, it cannot become set again until after a new character has been received and RDRF has been set. IDLE  
will get set only once even if the receive line remains idle for an extended period.  
0 No idle line detected.  
1 Idle line was detected.  
3
OR  
Receiver Overrun Flag — OR is set when a new serial character is ready to be transferred to the receive data  
register (buffer), but the previously received character has not been read from SCID yet. In this case, the new  
character (and all associated error information) is lost because there is no room to move it into SCID. To clear  
OR, read SCIS1 with OR = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCID).  
0 No overrun.  
1 Receive overrun (new SCI data lost).  
2
NF  
Noise Flag — The advanced sampling technique used in the receiver takes seven samples during the start bit  
and three samples in each data bit and the stop bit. If any of these samples disagrees with the rest of the samples  
within any bit time in the frame, the flag NF will be set at the same time as the flag RDRF gets set for the character.  
To clear NF, read SCIS1 and then read the SCI data register (SCID).  
0 No noise detected.  
1 Noise detected in the received character in SCID.  
1
FE  
Framing Error Flag — FE is set at the same time as RDRF when the receiver detects a logic 0 where the stop  
bit was expected. This suggests the receiver was not properly aligned to a character frame. To clear FE, read  
SCIS1 with FE = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCID).  
0 No framing error detected. This does not guarantee the framing is correct.  
1 Framing error.  
0
Parity Error Flag — PF is set at the same time as RDRF when parity is enabled (PE = 1) and the parity bit in  
PF  
the received character does not agree with the expected parity value. To clear PF, read SCIS1 and then read the  
SCI data register (SCID).  
0 No parity error.  
1 Parity error.

Ninth Data Bit for Receiver — When the SCI is configured for 9-bit data (M = 1), R8 can be thought of as a ninth

9-bit value is transferred to the SCI shift register after SCID is written so T8 should be written (if it needs to change  
from its previous value) before SCID is written. If T8 does not need to change in the new value (such as when it  
is used to generate mark or space parity), it need not be written each time SCID is written.

14.3 Functional Description  
The SCI allows full-duplex, asynchronous, NRZ serial communication among the MCU and remote  
devices, including other MCUs. The SCI comprises a baud rate generator, transmitter, and receiver block.  
The transmitter and receiver operate independently, although they use the same baud rate generator.  
During normal operation, the MCU monitors the status of the SCI, writes the data to be transmitted, and  
processes received data. The following describes each of the blocks of the SCI.  
14.3.1 Baud Rate Generation  
As shown in Figure 14-13, the clock source for the SCI baud rate generator is the bus-rate clock.

Figure 14-13. SCI Baud Rate Generation  
SCI communications require the transmitter and receiver (which typically derive baud rates from  
independent clock sources) to use the same baud rate. Allowed tolerance on this baud frequency depends  
on the details of how the receiver synchronizes to the leading edge of the start bit and how bit sampling is  
performed.  
The MCU resynchronizes to bit boundaries on every high-to-low transition, but in the worst case, there are  
no such transitions in the full 10- or 11-bit time character frame so any mismatch in baud rate is  
accumulated for the whole character time. For a Freescale Semiconductor SCI system whose bus  
frequency is driven by a crystal, the allowed baud rate mismatch is about ±4.5 percent for 8-bit data format  
and about ±4 percent for 9-bit data format. Although baud rate modulo divider settings do not always  
produce baud rates that exactly match standard rates, it is normally possible to get within a few percent,  
which is acceptable for reliable communications.  
14.3.2 Transmitter Functional Description  
This section describes the overall block diagram for the SCI transmitter, as well as specialized functions  
for sending break and idle characters. The transmitter block diagram is shown in Figure 14-3.  
The transmitter output (TxD) idle state defaults to logic high (TXINV = 0 following reset). The transmitter  
output is inverted by setting TXINV = 1. The transmitter is enabled by setting the TE bit in SCIC2. This  
queues a preamble character that is one full character frame of the idle state. The transmitter then remains  
idle until data is available in the transmit data buffer. Programs store data into the transmit data buffer by  
writing to the SCI data register (SCID).  
The central element of the SCI transmitter is the transmit shift register that is either 10 or 11 bits long  
depending on the setting in the M control bit. For the remainder of this section, we will assume M = 0,  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5

Freescale Semiconductor  
 
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV3)  
selecting the normal 8-bit data mode. In 8-bit data mode, the shift register holds a start bit, eight data bits,  
and a stop bit. When the transmit shift register is available for a new SCI character, the value waiting in  
the transmit data register is transferred to the shift register (synchronized with the baud rate clock) and the  
transmit data register empty (TDRE) status flag is set to indicate another character may be written to the  
transmit data buffer at SCID.  
If no new character is waiting in the transmit data buffer after a stop bit is shifted out the TxD1 pin, the  
transmitter sets the transmit complete flag and enters an idle mode, with TxD1 high, waiting for more  
characters to transmit.  
Writing 0 to TE does not immediately release the pin to be a general-purpose I/O pin. Any transmit activity  
that is in progress must first be completed. This includes data characters in progress, queued idle  
characters, and queued break characters.  
14.3.2.1 Send Break and Queued Idle  
The SBK control bit in SCIC2 is used to send break characters which were originally used to gain the  
attention of old teletype receivers. Break characters are a full character time of logic 0 (10 bit times  
including the start and stop bits). A longer break of 13 bit times can be enabled by setting BRK13 = 1.  
Normally, a program would wait for TDRE to become set to indicate the last character of a message has  
moved to the transmit shifter, then write 1 and then write 0 to the SBK bit. This action queues a break  
character to be sent as soon as the shifter is available. If SBK is still 1 when the queued break moves into  
the shifter (synchronized to the baud rate clock), an additional break character is queued. If the receiving  
device is another Freescale Semiconductor SCI, the break characters will be received as 0s in all eight data  
bits and a framing error (FE = 1) occurs.  
When idle-line wakeup is used, a full character time of idle (logic 1) is needed between messages to wake  
up any sleeping receivers. Normally, a program would wait for TDRE to become set to indicate the last  
character of a message has moved to the transmit shifter, then write 0 and then write 1 to the TE bit. This  
action queues an idle character to be sent as soon as the shifter is available. As long as the character in the  
shifter does not finish while TE = 0, the SCI transmitter never actually releases control of the TxD1 pin.  
If there is a possibility of the shifter finishing while TE = 0, set the general-purpose I/O controls so the pin  
that is shared with TxD1 is an output driving a logic 1. This ensures that the TxD1 line will look like a  
normal idle line even if the SCI loses control of the port pin between writing 0 and then 1 to TE.  
The length of the break character is affected by the BRK13 and M bits as shown below.

14.3.3 Receiver Functional Description  
In this section, the receiver block diagram (Figure 14-4) is used as a guide for the overall receiver  
functional description. Next, the data sampling technique used to reconstruct receiver data is described in  
more detail. Finally, two variations of the receiver wakeup function are explained.  
The receiver is enabled by setting the RE bit in SCIC2. Character frames consist of a start bit of logic 0,  
eight (or nine) data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit of logic 1. For information about 9-bit data mode, refer  
to Section 14.4.1, “8- and 9-Bit Data Modes.” For the remainder of this discussion, we assume the SCI is  
configured for normal 8-bit data mode.  
After receiving the stop bit into the receive shifter, and provided the receive data register is not already  
full, the data character is transferred to the receive data register and the receive data register full (RDRF)  
status flag is set. If RDRF was already set indicating the receive data register (buffer) was already full, the  
overrun (OR) status flag is set and the new data is lost. Because the SCI receiver is double-buffered, the  
program has one full character time after RDRF is set before the data in the receive data buffer must be  
read to avoid a receiver overrun.  
When a program detects that the receive data register is full (RDRF = 1), it gets the data from the receive  
data register by reading SCID. The RDRF flag is cleared automatically by a 2-step sequence which is  
normally satisfied in the course of the user’s program that handles receive data. Refer to Section 14.3.4,  
“Interrupts and Status Flags,” for more details about flag clearing.  
14.3.3.1 Data Sampling Technique  
The SCI receiver uses a 16× baud rate clock for sampling. The receiver starts by taking logic level samples  
at 16 times the baud rate to search for a falling edge on the RxD1 serial data input pin. A falling edge is  
defined as a logic 0 sample after three consecutive logic 1 samples. The 16× baud rate clock is used to  
divide the bit time into 16 segments labeled RT1 through RT16. When a falling edge is located, three more  
samples are taken at RT3, RT5, and RT7 to make sure this was a real start bit and not merely noise. If at  
least two of these three samples are 0, the receiver assumes it is synchronized to a receive character.  
The receiver then samples each bit time, including the start and stop bits, at RT8, RT9, and RT10 to  
determine the logic level for that bit. The logic level is interpreted to be that of the majority of the samples  
taken during the bit time. In the case of the start bit, the bit is assumed to be 0 if at least two of the samples  
at RT3, RT5, and RT7 are 0 even if one or all of the samples taken at RT8, RT9, and RT10 are 1s. If any  
sample in any bit time (including the start and stop bits) in a character frame fails to agree with the logic  
level for that bit, the noise flag (NF) will be set when the received character is transferred to the receive  
data buffer.  
The falling edge detection logic continuously looks for falling edges, and if an edge is detected, the sample  
clock is resynchronized to bit times. This improves the reliability of the receiver in the presence of noise  
or mismatched baud rates. It does not improve worst case analysis because some characters do not have  
any extra falling edges anywhere in the character frame.  
In the case of a framing error, provided the received character was not a break character, the sampling logic  
that searches for a falling edge is filled with three logic 1 samples so that a new start bit can be detected  
almost immediately.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
206  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV3)  
In the case of a framing error, the receiver is inhibited from receiving any new characters until the framing  
error flag is cleared. The receive shift register continues to function, but a complete character cannot  
transfer to the receive data buffer if FE is still set.  
14.3.3.2 Receiver Wakeup Operation  
Receiver wakeup is a hardware mechanism that allows an SCI receiver to ignore the characters in a  
message that is intended for a different SCI receiver. In such a system, all receivers evaluate the first  
character(s) of each message, and as soon as they determine the message is intended for a different  
receiver, they write logic 1 to the receiver wake up (RWU) control bit in SCIC2. When RWU = 1, it  
inhibits setting of the status flags associated with the receiver, thus eliminating the software overhead for  
handling the unimportant message characters. At the end of a message, or at the beginning of the next  
message, all receivers automatically force RWU to 0 so all receivers wake up in time to look at the first  
character(s) of the next message.  
14.3.3.2.1  
Idle-Line Wakeup  
When WAKE = 0, the receiver is configured for idle-line wakeup. In this mode, RWU is cleared  
automatically when the receiver detects a full character time of the idle-line level. The M control bit selects  
8-bit or 9-bit data mode that determines how many bit times of idle are needed to constitute a full character  
time (10 or 11 bit times because of the start and stop bits).  
When the RWU bit is set, the idle character that wakes a receiver does not set the receiver idle bit, IDLE,  
or the receive data register full flag, RDRF. It therefore will not generate an interrupt when this idle  
character occurs. The receiver will wake up and wait for the next data transmission which will set RDRF  
and generate an interrupt if enabled.  
The idle-line type (ILT) control bit selects one of two ways to detect an idle line. When ILT = 0, the idle  
bit counter starts after the start bit so the stop bit and any logic 1s at the end of a character count toward  
the full character time of idle. When ILT = 1, the idle bit counter does not start until after a stop bit time,  
so the idle detection is not affected by the data in the last character of the previous message.  
14.3.3.2.2  
Address-Mark Wakeup  
When WAKE = 1, the receiver is configured for address-mark wakeup. In this mode, RWU is cleared  
automatically when the receiver detects a logic 1 in the most significant bit of a received character (eighth  
bit in M = 0 mode and ninth bit in M = 1 mode).  
Address-mark wakeup allows messages to contain idle characters but requires that the MSB be reserved  
for use in address frames. The logic 1 MSB of an address frame clears the receivers RWU bit before the  
stop bit is received and sets the RDRF flag.  
14.3.4 Interrupts and Status Flags  
The SCI system has three separate interrupt vectors to reduce the amount of software needed to isolate the  
cause of the interrupt. One interrupt vector is associated with the transmitter for TDRE and TC events.  
Another interrupt vector is associated with the receiver for RDRF and IDLE events, and a third vector is  
used for OR, NF, FE, and PF error conditions. Each of these eight interrupt sources can be separately  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
207  
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV3)  
masked by local interrupt enable masks. The flags can still be polled by software when the local masks are  
cleared to disable generation of hardware interrupt requests.  
The SCI transmitter has two status flags that optionally can generate hardware interrupt requests. Transmit  
data register empty (TDRE) indicates when there is room in the transmit data buffer to write another  
transmit character to SCID. If the transmit interrupt enable (TIE) bit is set, a hardware interrupt will be  
requested whenever TDRE = 1. Transmit complete (TC) indicates that the transmitter is finished  
transmitting all data, preamble, and break characters and is idle with TxD1 high. This flag is often used in  
systems with modems to determine when it is safe to turn off the modem. If the transmit complete interrupt  
enable (TCIE) bit is set, a hardware interrupt will be requested whenever TC = 1. Instead of hardware  
interrupts, software polling may be used to monitor the TDRE and TC status flags if the corresponding  
TIE or TCIE local interrupt masks are 0s.  
When a program detects that the receive data register is full (RDRF = 1), it gets the data from the receive  
data register by reading SCID. The RDRF flag is cleared by reading SCIS1 while RDRF = 1 and then  
reading SCID.  
When polling is used, this sequence is naturally satisfied in the normal course of the user program. If  
hardware interrupts are used, SCIS1 must be read in the interrupt service routine (ISR). Normally, this is  
done in the ISR anyway to check for receive errors, so the sequence is automatically satisfied.  
The IDLE status flag includes logic that prevents it from getting set repeatedly when the RxD1 line  
remains idle for an extended period of time. IDLE is cleared by reading SCIS1 while IDLE = 1 and then  
reading SCID. After IDLE has been cleared, it cannot become set again until the receiver has received at  
least one new character and has set RDRF.  
If the associated error was detected in the received character that caused RDRF to be set, the error flags  
— noise flag (NF), framing error (FE), and parity error flag (PF) — get set at the same time as RDRF.  
These flags are not set in overrun cases.  
If RDRF was already set when a new character is ready to be transferred from the receive shifter to the  
receive data buffer, the overrun (OR) flag gets set instead and the data and any associated NF, FE, or PF  
condition is lost.  
14.4 Additional SCI Functions  
The following sections describe additional SCI functions.  
14.4.1 8- and 9-Bit Data Modes  
The SCI system (transmitter and receiver) can be configured to operate in 9-bit data mode by setting the  
M control bit in SCIC1. In 9-bit mode, there is a ninth data bit to the left of the MSB of the SCI data  
register. For the transmit data buffer, this bit is stored in T8 in SCIC3. For the receiver, the ninth bit is held  
in R8 in SCIC3.  
For coherent writes to the transmit data buffer, write to the T8 bit before writing to SCID.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
208  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Serial Communications Interface (S08SCIV3)  
If the bit value to be transmitted as the ninth bit of a new character is the same as for the previous character,  
it is not necessary to write to T8 again. When data is transferred from the transmit data buffer to the  
transmit shifter, the value in T8 is copied at the same time data is transferred from SCID to the shifter.  
9-bit data mode typically is used in conjunction with parity to allow eight bits of data plus the parity in the  
ninth bit. Or it is used with address-mark wakeup so the ninth data bit can serve as the wakeup bit. In  
custom protocols, the ninth bit can also serve as a software-controlled marker.  
14.4.2 Stop Mode Operation  
During all stop modes, clocks to the SCI module are halted.  
In stop1 and stop2 modes, all SCI register data is lost and must be re-initialized upon recovery from these  
two stop modes.  
No SCI module registers are affected in stop3 mode.  
Note, because the clocks are halted, the SCI module will resume operation upon exit from stop (only in  
stop3 mode). Software should ensure stop mode is not entered while there is a character being transmitted  
out of or received into the SCI module.  
14.4.3 Loop Mode  
When LOOPS = 1, the RSRC bit in the same register chooses between loop mode (RSRC = 0) or  
single-wire mode (RSRC = 1). Loop mode is sometimes used to check software, independent of  
connections in the external system, to help isolate system problems. In this mode, the transmitter output is  
internally connected to the receiver input and the RxD1 pin is not used by the SCI, so it reverts to a  
general-purpose port I/O pin.  
14.4.4 Single-Wire Operation  
When LOOPS = 1, the RSRC bit in the same register chooses between loop mode (RSRC = 0) or  
single-wire mode (RSRC = 1). Single-wire mode is used to implement a half-duplex serial connection.  
The receiver is internally connected to the transmitter output and to the TxD1 pin. The RxD1 pin is not  
used and reverts to a general-purpose port I/O pin.  
In single-wire mode, the TXDIR bit in SCIC3 controls the direction of serial data on the TxD1 pin. When  
TXDIR = 0, the TxD1 pin is an input to the SCI receiver and the transmitter is temporarily disconnected  
from the TxD1 pin so an external device can send serial data to the receiver. When TXDIR = 1, the TxD1  
pin is an output driven by the transmitter. In single-wire mode, the internal loop back connection from the  
transmitter to the receiver causes the receiver to receive characters that are sent out by the transmitter.

15.1.2 Block Diagrams  
This section includes block diagrams showing SPI system connections, the internal organization of the SPI  
module, and the SPI clock dividers that control the master mode bit rate.  
15.1.2.1 SPI System Block Diagram  
Figure 15-2 shows the SPI modules of two MCUs connected in a master-slave arrangement. The master  
device initiates all SPI data transfers. During a transfer, the master shifts data out (on the MOSI pin) to the  
slave while simultaneously shifting data in (on the MISO pin) from the slave. The transfer effectively  
exchanges the data that was in the SPI shift registers of the two SPI systems. The SPSCK signal is a clock  
output from the master and an input to the slave. The slave device must be selected by a low level on the  
slave select input (SS pin). In this system, the master device has configured its SS pin as an optional slave  
select output.

Serial Peripheral Interface (S08SPIV3)  
The most common uses of the SPI system include connecting simple shift registers for adding input or  
output ports or connecting small peripheral devices such as serial A/D or D/A converters. Although  
Figure 15-2 shows a system where data is exchanged between two MCUs, many practical systems involve  
simpler connections where data is unidirectionally transferred from the master MCU to a slave or from a  
slave to the master MCU.  
15.1.2.2 SPI Module Block Diagram  
Figure 15-3 is a block diagram of the SPI module. The central element of the SPI is the SPI shift register.  
Data is written to the double-buffered transmitter (write to SPID) and gets transferred to the SPI shift  
register at the start of a data transfer. After shifting in a byte of data, the data is transferred into the  
double-buffered receiver where it can be read (read from SPID). Pin multiplexing logic controls  
connections between MCU pins and the SPI module.  
When the SPI is configured as a master, the clock output is routed to the SPSCK pin, the shifter output is  
routed to MOSI, and the shifter input is routed from the MISO pin.  
When the SPI is configured as a slave, the SPSCK pin is routed to the clock input of the SPI, the shifter  
output is routed to MISO, and the shifter input is routed from the MOSI pin.  
In the external SPI system, simply connect all SPSCK pins to each other, all MISO pins together, and all  
MOSI pins together. Peripheral devices often use slightly different names for these pins.

15.1.3 SPI Baud Rate Generation  
As shown in Figure 15-4, the clock source for the SPI baud rate generator is the bus clock. The three  
prescale bits (SPPR2:SPPR1:SPPR0) choose a prescale divisor of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. The three rate  
select bits (SPR2:SPR1:SPR0) divide the output of the prescaler stage by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256  
to get the internal SPI master mode bit-rate clock.

15.2 External Signal Description  
The SPI optionally shares four port pins. The function of these pins depends on the settings of SPI control  
bits. When the SPI is disabled (SPE = 0), these four pins revert to being general-purpose port I/O pins that  
are not controlled by the SPI.  
15.2.1 SPSCK — SPI Serial Clock  
When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is the serial clock input. When the SPI is enabled as a master,  
this pin is the serial clock output.  
15.2.2 MOSI — Master Data Out, Slave Data In  
When the SPI is enabled as a master and SPI pin control zero (SPC0) is 0 (not bidirectional mode), this  
pin is the serial data output. When the SPI is enabled as a slave and SPC0 = 0, this pin is the serial data  
input. If SPC0 = 1 to select single-wire bidirectional mode, and master mode is selected, this pin becomes  
the bidirectional data I/O pin (MOMI). Also, the bidirectional mode output enable bit determines whether  
the pin acts as an input (BIDIROE = 0) or an output (BIDIROE = 1). If SPC0 = 1 and slave mode is  
selected, this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin.  
15.2.3 MISO — Master Data In, Slave Data Out  
When the SPI is enabled as a master and SPI pin control zero (SPC0) is 0 (not bidirectional mode), this  
pin is the serial data input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave and SPC0 = 0, this pin is the serial data  
output. If SPC0 = 1 to select single-wire bidirectional mode, and slave mode is selected, this pin becomes  
the bidirectional data I/O pin (SISO) and the bidirectional mode output enable bit determines whether the  
pin acts as an input (BIDIROE = 0) or an output (BIDIROE = 1). If SPC0 = 1 and master mode is selected,  
this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin.  
15.2.4 SS — Slave Select  
When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is the low-true slave select input. When the SPI is enabled as  
a master and mode fault enable is off (MODFEN = 0), this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being  
a general-purpose port I/O pin. When the SPI is enabled as a master and MODFEN = 1, the slave select  
output enable bit determines whether this pin acts as the mode fault input (SSOE = 0) or as the slave select  
output (SSOE = 1).

15.3 Modes of Operation  
15.3.1 SPI in Stop Modes  
The SPI is disabled in all stop modes, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP instruction.  
During either stop1 or stop2 mode, the SPI module will be fully powered down. Upon wake-up from stop1  
or stop2 mode, the SPI module will be in the reset state. During stop3 mode, clocks to the SPI module are  
halted. No registers are affected. If stop3 is exited with a reset, the SPI will be put into its reset state. If  
stop3 is exited with an interrupt, the SPI continues from the state it was in when stop3 was entered.  
15.4 Register Definition  
The SPI has five 8-bit registers to select SPI options, control baud rate, report SPI status, and for  
transmit/receive data.  
Refer to the direct-page register summary in the Memory chapter of this data sheet for the absolute address  
assignments for all SPI registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names, and  
a Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate absolute  
addresses.

Master Mode-Fault Function Enable — When the SPI is configured for slave mode, this bit has no meaning or

BIDIROE BIDIROE determines whether the SPI data output driver is enabled to the single bidirectional SPI I/O pin.  
Depending on whether the SPI is configured as a master or a slave, it uses either the MOSI (MOMI) or MISO  
(SISO) pin, respectively, as the single SPI data I/O pin. When SPC0 = 0, BIDIROE has no meaning or effect.

(MOMI) pin for bidirectional SPI data transfers. When SPC0 = 1, BIDIROE is used to enable or disable the output  
driver for the single bidirectional SPI I/O pin.

SPI Read Buffer Full Flag — SPRF is set at the completion of an SPI transfer to indicate that received data may

data register.  
SPRF  
0 No data available in the receive data buffer  
1 Data available in the receive data buffer  
5
SPI Transmit Buffer Empty Flag — This bit is set when there is room in the transmit data buffer. It is cleared by  
reading SPIS with SPTEF set, followed by writing a data value to the transmit buffer at SPID. SPIS must be read  
with SPTEF = 1 before writing data to SPID or the SPID write will be ignored. SPTEF generates an SPTEF CPU  
interrupt request if the SPTIE bit in the SPIC1 is also set. SPTEF is automatically set when a data byte transfers  
from the transmit buffer into the transmit shift register. For an idle SPI (no data in the transmit buffer or the shift  
register and no transfer in progress), data written to SPID is transferred to the shifter almost immediately so  
SPTEF is set within two bus cycles allowing a second 8-bit data value to be queued into the transmit buffer. After  
completion of the transfer of the value in the shift register, the queued value from the transmit buffer will  
automatically move to the shifter and SPTEF will be set to indicate there is room for new data in the transmit  
buffer. If no new data is waiting in the transmit buffer, SPTEF simply remains set and no data moves from the  
buffer to the shifter.

Master Mode Fault Flag — MODF is set if the SPI is configured as a master and the slave select input goes low,  
indicating some other SPI device is also configured as a master. The SS pin acts as a mode fault error input only  
when MSTR = 1, MODFEN = 1, and SSOE = 0; otherwise, MODF will never be set. MODF is cleared by reading  
MODF while it is 1, then writing to SPI control register 1 (SPIC1).

Figure 15-9. SPI Data Register (SPID)  
Reads of this register return the data read from the receive data buffer. Writes to this register write data to  
the transmit data buffer. When the SPI is configured as a master, writing data to the transmit data buffer  
initiates an SPI transfer.  
Data should not be written to the transmit data buffer unless the SPI transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF)  
is set, indicating there is room in the transmit buffer to queue a new transmit byte.  
Data may be read from SPID any time after SPRF is set and before another transfer is finished. Failure to  
read the data out of the receive data buffer before a new transfer ends causes a receive overrun condition  
and the data from the new transfer is lost.

15.5 Functional Description  
An SPI transfer is initiated by checking for the SPI transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF = 1) and then  
writing a byte of data to the SPI data register (SPID) in the master SPI device. When the SPI shift register  
is available, this byte of data is moved from the transmit data buffer to the shifter, SPTEF is set to indicate  
there is room in the buffer to queue another transmit character if desired, and the SPI serial transfer starts.  
During the SPI transfer, data is sampled (read) on the MISO pin at one SPSCK edge and shifted, changing  
the bit value on the MOSI pin, one-half SPSCK cycle later. After eight SPSCK cycles, the data that was  
in the shift register of the master has been shifted out the MOSI pin to the slave while eight bits of data  
were shifted in the MISO pin into the master’s shift register. At the end of this transfer, the received data  
byte is moved from the shifter into the receive data buffer and SPRF is set to indicate the data can be read  
by reading SPID. If another byte of data is waiting in the transmit buffer at the end of a transfer, it is moved  
into the shifter, SPTEF is set, and a new transfer is started.  
Normally, SPI data is transferred most significant bit (MSB) first. If the least significant bit first enable  
(LSBFE) bit is set, SPI data is shifted LSB first.  
When the SPI is configured as a slave, its SS pin must be driven low before a transfer starts and SS must  
stay low throughout the transfer. If a clock format where CPHA = 0 is selected, SS must be driven to a  
logic 1 between successive transfers. If CPHA = 1, SS may remain low between successive transfers. See  
Section 15.5.1, “SPI Clock Formats” for more details.  
Because the transmitter and receiver are double buffered, a second byte, in addition to the byte currently  
being shifted out, can be queued into the transmit data buffer, and a previously received character can be  
in the receive data buffer while a new character is being shifted in. The SPTEF flag indicates when the  
transmit buffer has room for a new character. The SPRF flag indicates when a received character is  
available in the receive data buffer. The received character must be read out of the receive buffer (read  
SPID) before the next transfer is finished or a receive overrun error results.  
In the case of a receive overrun, the new data is lost because the receive buffer still held the previous  
character and was not ready to accept the new data. There is no indication for such an overrun condition  
so the application system designer must ensure that previous data has been read from the receive buffer  
before a new transfer is initiated.  
15.5.1 SPI Clock Formats  
To accommodate a wide variety of synchronous serial peripherals from different manufacturers, the SPI  
system has a clock polarity (CPOL) bit and a clock phase (CPHA) control bit to select one of four clock  
formats for data transfers. CPOL selectively inserts an inverter in series with the clock. CPHA chooses  
between two different clock phase relationships between the clock and data.  
Figure 15-10 shows the clock formats when CPHA = 1. At the top of the figure, the eight bit times are  
shown for reference with bit 1 starting at the first SPSCK edge and bit 8 ending one-half SPSCK cycle  
after the sixteenth SPSCK edge. The MSB first and LSB first lines show the order of SPI data bits  
depending on the setting in LSBFE. Both variations of SPSCK polarity are shown, but only one of these  
waveforms applies for a specific transfer, depending on the value in CPOL. The SAMPLE IN waveform  
applies to the MOSI input of a slave or the MISO input of a master. The MOSI waveform applies to the

master SS output goes to active low one-half SPSCK cycle before the start of the transfer and goes back  
high at the end of the eighth bit time of the transfer. The SS IN waveform applies to the slave select input  
of a slave.

When CPHA = 1, the slave begins to drive its MISO output when SS goes to active low, but the data is not  
defined until the first SPSCK edge. The first SPSCK edge shifts the first bit of data from the shifter onto  
the MOSI output of the master and the MISO output of the slave. The next SPSCK edge causes both the  
master and the slave to sample the data bit values on their MISO and MOSI inputs, respectively. At the  
third SPSCK edge, the SPI shifter shifts one bit position which shifts in the bit value that was just sampled,  
and shifts the second data bit value out the other end of the shifter to the MOSI and MISO outputs of the  
master and slave, respectively. When CHPA = 1, the slave’s SS input is not required to go to its inactive  
high level between transfers.  
Figure 15-11 shows the clock formats when CPHA = 0. At the top of the figure, the eight bit times are

When CPHA = 0, the slave begins to drive its MISO output with the first data bit value (MSB or LSB  
depending on LSBFE) when SS goes to active low. The first SPSCK edge causes both the master and the  
slave to sample the data bit values on their MISO and MOSI inputs, respectively. At the second SPSCK  
edge, the SPI shifter shifts one bit position which shifts in the bit value that was just sampled and shifts the  
second data bit value out the other end of the shifter to the MOSI and MISO outputs of the master and  
slave, respectively. When CPHA = 0, the slave’s SS input must go to its inactive high level between

15.5.2 SPI Interrupts  
There are three flag bits, two interrupt mask bits, and one interrupt vector associated with the SPI system.  
The SPI interrupt enable mask (SPIE) enables interrupts from the SPI receiver full flag (SPRF) and mode  
fault flag (MODF). The SPI transmit interrupt enable mask (SPTIE) enables interrupts from the SPI  
transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF). When one of the flag bits is set, and the associated interrupt mask bit  
is set, a hardware interrupt request is sent to the CPU. If the interrupt mask bits are cleared, software can  
poll the associated flag bits instead of using interrupts. The SPI interrupt service routine (ISR) should  
check the flag bits to determine what event caused the interrupt. The service routine should also clear the  
flag bit(s) before returning from the ISR (usually near the beginning of the ISR).  
15.5.3 Mode Fault Detection  
A mode fault occurs and the mode fault flag (MODF) becomes set when a master SPI device detects an  
error on the SS pin (provided the SS pin is configured as the mode fault input signal). The SS pin is  
configured to be the mode fault input signal when MSTR = 1, mode fault enable is set (MODFEN = 1),  
and slave select output enable is clear (SSOE = 0).  
The mode fault detection feature can be used in a system where more than one SPI device might become  
a master at the same time. The error is detected when a master’s SS pin is low, indicating that some other  
SPI device is trying to address this master as if it were a slave. This could indicate a harmful output driver  
conflict, so the mode fault logic is designed to disable all SPI output drivers when such an error is detected.  
When a mode fault is detected, MODF is set and MSTR is cleared to change the SPI configuration back  
to slave mode. The output drivers on the SPSCK, MOSI, and MISO (if not bidirectional mode) are  
disabled.  
MODF is cleared by reading it while it is set, then writing to the SPI control register 1 (SPIC1). User  
software should verify the error condition has been corrected before changing the SPI back to master  
mode.

16.1.1 ACMP/TPM Configuration Information  
The ACMP module can be configured to connect the output of the analog comparator to TPM input capture  
channel 0 by setting ACIC in SOPT2. With ACIC set, the TPMCH0 pin is not available externally  
regardless of the configuration of the TPM module.  
16.1.2 MTIM/TPM Configuration Information  
The external clock for the TPM module, TPMCLK, is selected by setting CLKS[B:A] = 1:1 in TPMSC,  
which selects the TCLK pin input. The TCLK input on PTA5 can be enabled as external clock inputs to  
both the MTIM and TPM modules simultaneously.

The central component of the TPM is the 16-bit counter that can operate as a free-running counter, a  
modulo counter, or an up-/down-counter when the TPM is configured for center-aligned PWM. The TPM  
counter (when operating in normal up-counting mode) provides the timing reference for the input capture,  
output compare, and edge-aligned PWM functions. The timer counter modulo registers,  
TPMMODH:TPMMODL, control the modulo value of the counter. (The values 0x0000 or 0xFFFF  
effectively make the counter free running.) Software can read the counter value at any time without  
affecting the counting sequence. Any write to either byte of the TPMCNT counter resets the counter  
regardless of the data value written.

Freescale Semiconductor  
Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)  
All TPM channels are programmable independently as input capture, output compare, or buffered  
edge-aligned PWM channels.  
16.2 External Signal Description  
When any pin associated with the timer is configured as a timer input, a passive pullup can be enabled.  
After reset, the TPM modules are disabled and all pins default to general-purpose inputs with the passive  
pullups disabled.  
16.2.1 External TPM Clock Sources  
When control bits CLKSB:CLKSA in the timer status and control register are set to 1:1, the prescaler and  
consequently the 16-bit counter for TPM are driven by an external clock source, TPMxCLK, connected to  
an I/O pin. A synchronizer is needed between the external clock and the rest of the TPM. This synchronizer  
is clocked by the bus clock so the frequency of the external source must be less than one-half the frequency  
of the bus rate clock. The upper frequency limit for this external clock source is specified to be one-fourth  
the bus frequency to conservatively accommodate duty cycle and phase-locked loop (PLL) or  
frequency-locked loop (FLL) frequency jitter effects.  
On some devices the external clock input is shared with one of the TPM channels. When a TPM channel  
is shared as the external clock input, the associated TPM channel cannot use the pin. (The channel can still  
be used in output compare mode as a software timer.) Also, if one of the TPM channels is used as the  
external clock input, the corresponding ELSnB:ELSnA control bits must be set to 0:0 so the channel is not  
trying to use the same pin.  
16.2.2 TPMCHn — TPM Channel n I/O Pins  
Each TPM channel is associated with an I/O pin on the MCU. The function of this pin depends on the  
configuration of the channel. In some cases, no pin function is needed so the pin reverts to being controlled  
by general-purpose I/O controls. When a timer has control of a port pin, the port data and data direction  
registers do not affect the related pin(s). See the Pins and Connections chapter for additional information  
about shared pin functions.  
16.3 Register Definition  
The TPM includes:  
An 8-bit status and control register (TPMSC)  
A 16-bit counter (TPMCNTH:TPMCNTL)  
A 16-bit modulo register (TPMMODH:TPMMODL)  
Each timer channel has:  
An 8-bit status and control register (TPMCnSC)  
A 16-bit channel value register (TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL)  
Refer to the direct-page register summary in the Memory chapter of this data sheet for the absolute address  
assignments for all TPM registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names. A

TOF  
Timer Overflow Flag — This flag is set when the TPM counter changes to 0x0000 after reaching the modulo  
value programmed in the TPM counter modulo registers. When the TPM is configured for CPWM, TOF is set after  
the counter has reached the value in the modulo register, at the transition to the next lower count value. Clear  
TOF by reading the TPM status and control register when TOF is set and then writing a 0 to TOF. If another TPM  
overflow occurs before the clearing sequence is complete, the sequence is reset so TOF would remain set after  
the clear sequence was completed for the earlier TOF. Reset clears TOF. Writing a 1 to TOF has no effect.  
0 TPM counter has not reached modulo value or overflow  
1 TPM counter has overflowed

Timer Overflow Interrupt Enable — This read/write bit enables TPM overflow interrupts. If TOIE is set, an  
interrupt is generated when TOF equals 1. Reset clears TOIE.  
0 TOF interrupts inhibited (use software polling)  
TOIE  
1 TOF interrupts enabled  
5
Center-Aligned PWM Select — This read/write bit selects CPWM operating mode. Reset clears this bit so the  
TPM operates in up-counting mode for input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM functions. Setting  
CPWMS reconfigures the TPM to operate in up-/down-counting mode for CPWM functions. Reset clears  
CPWMS.  
CPWMS  
0 All TPM channels operate as input capture, output compare, or edge-aligned PWM mode as selected by the  
MSnB:MSnA control bits in each channel’s status and control register  
1 All TPM channels operate in center-aligned PWM mode  
4:3  
Clock Source Select — As shown in Table 16-2, this 2-bit field is used to disable the TPM system or select one  
CLKS[B:A] of three clock sources to drive the counter prescaler. The external source and the XCLK are synchronized to the  
bus clock by an on-chip synchronization circuit.  
2:0  
PS[2:0]  
Prescale Divisor Select — This 3-bit field selects one of eight divisors for the TPM clock input as shown in  
Table 16-3. This prescaler is located after any clock source synchronization or clock source selection, so it affects  
whatever clock source is selected to drive the TPM system.

If the external clock input is shared with channel n and is selected as the TPM clock source,

16.3.2 Timer Counter Registers (TPMCNTH:TPMCNTL)  
The two read-only TPM counter registers contain the high and low bytes of the value in the TPM counter.  
Reading either byte (TPMCNTH or TPMCNTL) latches the contents of both bytes into a buffer where they  
remain latched until the other byte is read. This allows coherent 16-bit reads in either order. The coherency  
mechanism is automatically restarted by an MCU reset, a write of any value to TPMCNTH or TPMCNTL,  
or any write to the timer status/control register (TPMSC).  
Reset clears the TPM counter registers.

Figure 16-5. Timer Counter Register Low (TPMCNTL)  
When background mode is active, the timer counter and the coherency mechanism are frozen such that the  
buffer latches remain in the state they were in when the background mode became active even if one or  
both bytes of the counter are read while background mode is active.  
16.3.3 Timer Counter Modulo Registers (TPMMODH:TPMMODL)  
The read/write TPM modulo registers contain the modulo value for the TPM counter. After the TPM  
counter reaches the modulo value, the TPM counter resumes counting from 0x0000 at the next clock  
(CPWMS = 0) or starts counting down (CPWMS = 1), and the overflow flag (TOF) becomes set. Writing  
to TPMMODH or TPMMODL inhibits TOF and overflow interrupts until the other byte is written. Reset  
sets the TPM counter modulo registers to 0x0000, which results in a free-running timer counter (modulo  
disabled).

It is good practice to wait for an overflow interrupt so both bytes of the modulo register can be written well  
before a new overflow. An alternative approach is to reset the TPM counter before writing to the TPM  
modulo registers to avoid confusion about when the first counter overflow will occur.

Channel n Flag — When channel n is configured for input capture, this flag bit is set when an active edge occurs  
on the channel n pin. When channel n is an output compare or edge-aligned PWM channel, CHnF is set when  
the value in the TPM counter registers matches the value in the TPM channel n value registers. This flag is  
seldom used with center-aligned PWMs because it is set every time the counter matches the channel value  
register, which correspond to both edges of the active duty cycle period.  
CHnF  
A corresponding interrupt is requested when CHnF is set and interrupts are enabled (CHnIE = 1). Clear CHnF  
by reading TPMCnSC while CHnF is set and then writing a 0 to CHnF. If another interrupt request occurs before  
the clearing sequence is complete, the sequence is reset so CHnF would remain set after the clear sequence  
was completed for the earlier CHnF. This is done so a CHnF interrupt request cannot be lost by clearing a  
previous CHnF. Reset clears CHnF. Writing a 1 to CHnF has no effect.

Mode Select A for TPM Channel n — When CPWMS = 0 and MSnB = 0, MSnA configures TPM channel n for

Edge/Level Select Bits — Depending on the operating mode for the timer channel as set by  
ELSn[B:A] CPWMS:MSnB:MSnA and shown in Table 16-5, these bits select the polarity of the input edge that triggers an  
input capture event, select the level that will be driven in response to an output compare match, or select the  
polarity of the PWM output.  
Setting ELSnB:ELSnA to 0:0 configures the related timer pin as a general-purpose I/O pin unrelated to any timer  
channel functions. This function is typically used to temporarily disable an input capture channel or to make the  
timer pin available as a general-purpose I/O pin when the associated timer channel is set up as a software timer  
that does not require the use of a pin.

If the associated port pin is not stable for at least two bus clock cycles before changing to input capture

status flags to avoid any unexpected behavior.

In input capture mode, reading either byte (TPMCnVH or TPMCnVL) latches the contents of both bytes  
into a buffer where they remain latched until the other byte is read. This latching mechanism also resets  
(becomes unlatched) when the TPMCnSC register is written.

Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)  
In output compare or PWM modes, writing to either byte (TPMCnVH or TPMCnVL) latches the value  
into a buffer. When both bytes have been written, they are transferred as a coherent 16-bit value into the  
timer channel value registers. This latching mechanism may be manually reset by writing to the TPMCnSC  
register.  
This latching mechanism allows coherent 16-bit writes in either order, which is friendly to various  
compiler implementations.  
16.4 Functional Description  
All TPM functions are associated with a main 16-bit counter that allows flexible selection of the clock  
source and prescale divisor. A 16-bit modulo register also is associated with the main 16-bit counter in the  
TPM. Each TPM channel is optionally associated with an MCU pin and a maskable interrupt function.  
The TPM has center-aligned PWM capabilities controlled by the CPWMS control bit in TPMSC. When  
CPWMS is set to 1, timer counter TPMCNT changes to an up-/down-counter and all channels in the  
associated TPM act as center-aligned PWM channels. When CPWMS = 0, each channel can  
independently be configured to operate in input capture, output compare, or buffered edge-aligned PWM  
mode.  
The following sections describe the main 16-bit counter and each of the timer operating modes (input  
capture, output compare, edge-aligned PWM, and center-aligned PWM). Because details of pin operation  
and interrupt activity depend on the operating mode, these topics are covered in the associated mode  
sections.  
16.4.1 Counter  
All timer functions are based on the main 16-bit counter (TPMCNTH:TPMCNTL). This section discusses  
selection of the clock source, up-counting vs. up-/down-counting, end-of-count overflow, and manual  
counter reset.  
After any MCU reset, CLKSB:CLKSA = 0:0 so no clock source is selected and the TPM is inactive.  
Normally, CLKSB:CLKSA would be set to 0:1 so the bus clock drives the timer counter. The clock source  
for the TPM can be selected to be off, the bus clock (BUSCLK), the fixed system clock (XCLK), or an  
external input. The maximum frequency allowed for the external clock option is one-fourth the bus rate.  
Refer to Section 16.3.1, “Timer Status and Control Register (TPMSC)and Table 16-2 for more  
information about clock source selection.  
When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the TPM temporarily suspends all counting until  
the microcontroller returns to normal user operating mode. During stop mode, all TPM clocks are stopped;  
therefore, the TPM is effectively disabled until clocks resume. During wait mode, the TPM continues to  
operate normally.  
The main 16-bit counter has two counting modes. When center-aligned PWM is selected (CPWMS = 1),  
the counter operates in up-/down-counting mode. Otherwise, the counter operates as a simple up-counter.  
As an up-counter, the main 16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through its terminal count and then  
continues with 0x0000. The terminal count is 0xFFFF or a modulus value in TPMMODH:TPMMODL.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
237  
Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)  
When center-aligned PWM operation is specified, the counter counts upward from 0x0000 through its  
terminal count and then counts downward to 0x0000 where it returns to up-counting. Both 0x0000 and the  
terminal count value (value in TPMMODH:TPMMODL) are normal length counts (one timer clock period  
long).  
An interrupt flag and enable are associated with the main 16-bit counter. The timer overflow flag (TOF) is  
a software-accessible indication that the timer counter has overflowed. The enable signal selects between  
software polling (TOIE = 0) where no hardware interrupt is generated, or interrupt-driven operation  
(TOIE = 1) where a static hardware interrupt is automatically generated whenever the TOF flag is 1.  
The conditions that cause TOF to become set depend on the counting mode (up or up/down). In  
up-counting mode, the main 16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF and overflows to 0x0000  
on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the transition from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. When a modulus  
limit is set, TOF becomes set at the transition from the value set in the modulus register to 0x0000. When  
the main 16-bit counter is operating in up-/down-counting mode, the TOF flag gets set as the counter  
changes direction at the transition from the value set in the modulus register and the next lower count  
value. This corresponds to the end of a PWM period. (The 0x0000 count value corresponds to the center  
of a period.)  
Because the HCS08 MCU is an 8-bit architecture, a coherency mechanism is built into the timer counter  
for read operations. Whenever either byte of the counter is read (TPMCNTH or TPMCNTL), both bytes  
are captured into a buffer so when the other byte is read, the value will represent the other byte of the count  
at the time the first byte was read. The counter continues to count normally, but no new value can be read  
from either byte until both bytes of the old count have been read.  
The main timer counter can be reset manually at any time by writing any value to either byte of the timer  
count TPMCNTH or TPMCNTL. Resetting the counter in this manner also resets the coherency  
mechanism in case only one byte of the counter was read before resetting the count.  
16.4.2 Channel Mode Selection  
Provided CPWMS = 0 (center-aligned PWM operation is not specified), the MSnB and MSnA control bits  
in the channel n status and control registers determine the basic mode of operation for the corresponding  
channel. Choices include input capture, output compare, and buffered edge-aligned PWM.  
16.4.2.1 Input Capture Mode  
With the input capture function, the TPM can capture the time at which an external event occurs. When an  
active edge occurs on the pin of an input capture channel, the TPM latches the contents of the TPM counter  
into the channel value registers (TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL). Rising edges, falling edges, or any edge may be  
chosen as the active edge that triggers an input capture.  
When either byte of the 16-bit capture register is read, both bytes are latched into a buffer to support  
coherent 16-bit accesses regardless of order. The coherency sequence can be manually reset by writing to  
the channel status/control register (TPMCnSC).  
An input capture event sets a flag bit (CHnF) that can optionally generate a CPU interrupt request.

238  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)  
16.4.2.2 Output Compare Mode  
With the output compare function, the TPM can generate timed pulses with programmable position,  
polarity, duration, and frequency. When the counter reaches the value in the channel value registers of an  
output compare channel, the TPM can set, clear, or toggle the channel pin.  
In output compare mode, values are transferred to the corresponding timer channel value registers only  
after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have been written. This coherency sequence can be manually reset  
by writing to the channel status/control register (TPMCnSC).  
An output compare event sets a flag bit (CHnF) that can optionally generate a CPU interrupt request.  
16.4.2.3 Edge-Aligned PWM Mode  
This type of PWM output uses the normal up-counting mode of the timer counter (CPWMS = 0) and can  
be used when other channels in the same TPM are configured for input capture or output compare  
functions. The period of this PWM signal is determined by the setting in the modulus register  
(TPMMODH:TPMMODL). The duty cycle is determined by the setting in the timer channel value register  
(TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL). The polarity of this PWM signal is determined by the setting in the ELSnA  
control bit. Duty cycle cases of 0 percent and 100 percent are possible.  
As Figure 16-11 shows, the output compare value in the TPM channel registers determines the pulse width  
(duty cycle) of the PWM signal. The time between the modulus overflow and the output compare is the  
pulse width. If ELSnA = 0, the counter overflow forces the PWM signal high and the output compare  
forces the PWM signal low. If ELSnA = 1, the counter overflow forces the PWM signal low and the output  
compare forces the PWM signal high.

When the channel value register is set to 0x0000, the duty cycle is 0 percent. By setting the timer channel  
value register (TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL) to a value greater than the modulus setting, 100% duty cycle can  
be achieved. This implies that the modulus setting must be less than 0xFFFF to get 100% duty cycle.  
Because the HCS08 is a family of 8-bit MCUs, the settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to  
ensure coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to either register,  
TPMCnVH or TPMCnVL, write to buffer registers. In edge-PWM mode, values are transferred to the  
corresponding timer channel registers only after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have been written and  
the value in the TPMCNTH:TPMCNTL counter is 0x0000. (The new duty cycle does not take effect until  
the next full period.)

Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)  
16.4.3 Center-Aligned PWM Mode  
This type of PWM output uses the up-/down-counting mode of the timer counter (CPWMS = 1). The  
output compare value in TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL determines the pulse width (duty cycle) of the PWM  
signal and the period is determined by the value in TPMMODH:TPMMODL. TPMMODH:TPMMODL  
should be kept in the range of 0x0001 to 0x7FFF because values outside this range can produce ambiguous  
results. ELSnA will determine the polarity of the CPWM output.  
pulse width = 2 x (TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL)  
Eqn. 16-1  
period = 2 x (TPMMODH:TPMMODL);  
for TPMMODH:TPMMODL = 0x0001–0x7FFF  
Eqn. 16-2  
If the channel value register TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL is zero or negative (bit 15 set), the duty cycle will be  
0%. If TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL is a positive value (bit 15 clear) and is greater than the (nonzero) modulus  
setting, the duty cycle will be 100% because the duty cycle compare will never occur. This implies the  
usable range of periods set by the modulus register is 0x0001 through 0x7FFE (0x7FFF if generation of  
100% duty cycle is not necessary). This is not a significant limitation because the resulting period is much  
longer than required for normal applications.  
TPMMODH:TPMMODL = 0x0000 is a special case that should not be used with center-aligned PWM  
mode. When CPWMS = 0, this case corresponds to the counter running free from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF,  
but when CPWMS = 1 the counter needs a valid match to the modulus register somewhere other than at  
0x0000 in order to change directions from up-counting to down-counting.  
Figure 16-12 shows the output compare value in the TPM channel registers (multiplied by 2), which  
determines the pulse width (duty cycle) of the CPWM signal. If ELSnA = 0, the compare match while  
counting up forces the CPWM output signal low and a compare match while counting down forces the  
output high. The counter counts up until it reaches the modulo setting in TPMMODH:TPMMODL, then  
counts down until it reaches zero. This sets the period equal to two times TPMMODH:TPMMODL.

Figure 16-12. CPWM Period and Pulse Width (ELSnA = 0)  
Center-aligned PWM outputs typically produce less noise than edge-aligned PWMs because fewer I/O pin  
transitions are lined up at the same system clock edge. This type of PWM is also required for some types  
of motor drives.  
Because the HCS08 is a family of 8-bit MCUs, the settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to  
ensure coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to any of the registers,  
TPMMODH, TPMMODL, TPMCnVH, and TPMCnVL, actually write to buffer registers. Values are

transferred to the corresponding timer channel registers only after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have  
been written and the timer counter overflows (reverses direction from up-counting to down-counting at the  
end of the terminal count in the modulus register). This TPMCNT overflow requirement only applies to  
PWM channels, not output compares.  
Optionally, when TPMCNTH:TPMCNTL = TPMMODH:TPMMODL, the TPM can generate a TOF  
interrupt at the end of this count. The user can choose to reload any number of the PWM buffers, and they  
will all update simultaneously at the start of a new period.  
Writing to TPMSC cancels any values written to TPMMODH and/or TPMMODL and resets the  
coherency mechanism for the modulo registers. Writing to TPMCnSC cancels any values written to the  
channel value registers and resets the coherency mechanism for TPMCnVH:TPMCnVL.  
16.5 TPM Interrupts  
The TPM generates an optional interrupt for the main counter overflow and an interrupt for each channel.  
The meaning of channel interrupts depends on the mode of operation for each channel. If the channel is  
configured for input capture, the interrupt flag is set each time the selected input capture edge is  
recognized. If the channel is configured for output compare or PWM modes, the interrupt flag is set each  
time the main timer counter matches the value in the 16-bit channel value register. See the Resets,  
Interrupts, and System Configuration chapter for absolute interrupt vector addresses, priority, and local  
interrupt mask control bits.  
For each interrupt source in the TPM, a flag bit is set on recognition of the interrupt condition such as timer  
overflow, channel input capture, or output compare events. This flag may be read (polled) by software to  
verify that the action has occurred, or an associated enable bit (TOIE or CHnIE) can be set to enable  
hardware interrupt generation. While the interrupt enable bit is set, a static interrupt will be generated  
whenever the associated interrupt flag equals 1. It is the responsibility of user software to perform a  
sequence of steps to clear the interrupt flag before returning from the interrupt service routine.  
16.5.1 Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags  
TPM interrupt flags are cleared by a 2-step process that includes a read of the flag bit while it is set (1)  
followed by a write of 0 to the bit. If a new event is detected between these two steps, the sequence is reset  
and the interrupt flag remains set after the second step to avoid the possibility of missing the new event.  
16.5.2 Timer Overflow Interrupt Description  
The conditions that cause TOF to become set depend on the counting mode (up or up/down). In  
up-counting mode, the 16-bit timer counter counts from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF and overflows to 0x0000  
on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the transition from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. When a modulus  
limit is set, TOF becomes set at the transition from the value set in the modulus register to 0x0000. When  
the counter is operating in up-/down-counting mode, the TOF flag gets set as the counter changes direction  
at the transition from the value set in the modulus register and the next lower count value. This corresponds  
to the end of a PWM period. (The 0x0000 count value corresponds to the center of a period.)

Timer/Pulse-Width Modulator (S08TPMV2)  
16.5.3 Channel Event Interrupt Description  
The meaning of channel interrupts depends on the current mode of the channel (input capture, output  
compare, edge-aligned PWM, or center-aligned PWM).  
When a channel is configured as an input capture channel, the ELSnB:ELSnA control bits select rising  
edges, falling edges, any edge, or no edge (off) as the edge that triggers an input capture event. When the  
selected edge is detected, the interrupt flag is set. The flag is cleared by the 2-step sequence described in  
Section 16.5.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags.”  
When a channel is configured as an output compare channel, the interrupt flag is set each time the main  
timer counter matches the 16-bit value in the channel value register. The flag is cleared by the 2-step  
sequence described in Section 16.5.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags.”  
16.5.4 PWM End-of-Duty-Cycle Events  
For channels that are configured for PWM operation, there are two possibilities:  
When the channel is configured for edge-aligned PWM, the channel flag is set when the timer  
counter matches the channel value register that marks the end of the active duty cycle period.  
When the channel is configured for center-aligned PWM, the timer count matches the channel  
value register twice during each PWM cycle. In this CPWM case, the channel flag is set at the start  
and at the end of the active duty cycle, which are the times when the timer counter matches the  
channel value register.  
The flag is cleared by the 2-step sequence described in Section 16.5.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags.”

Development Support  
17.1 Introduction  
Development support systems in the HCS08 include the background debug controller (BDC) and the  
on-chip debug module (DBG). The BDC provides a single-wire debug interface to the target MCU that  
provides a convenient interface for programming the on-chip FLASH and other nonvolatile memories. The  
BDC is also the primary debug interface for development and allows non-intrusive access to memory data  
and traditional debug features such as CPU register modify, breakpoints, and single instruction trace  
commands.  
In the HCS08 Family, address and data bus signals are not available on external pins. Debug is done  
through commands fed into the target MCU via the single-wire background debug interface. The debug  
module provides a means to selectively trigger and capture bus information so an external development  
system can reconstruct what happened inside the MCU on a cycle-by-cycle basis without having external  
access to the address and data signals.  
17.1.1 Module Configuration  
The alternate BDC clock source is the ICSLCLK. This clock source is selected by clearing the CLKSW  
bit in the BDCSCR register. For details on ICSLCLK, see Section 10.4, “Functional Description” of the  
ICS chapter.

17.2 Background Debug Controller (BDC)  
All MCUs in the HCS08 Family contain a single-wire background debug interface that supports in-circuit  
programming of on-chip nonvolatile memory and sophisticated non-intrusive debug capabilities. Unlike  
debug interfaces on earlier 8-bit MCUs, this system does not interfere with normal application resources.  
It does not use any user memory or locations in the memory map and does not share any on-chip  
peripherals.  
BDC commands are divided into two groups:  
Active background mode commands require that the target MCU is in active background mode (the  
user program is not running). Active background mode commands allow the CPU registers to be

244  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Development Support  
read or written, and allow the user to trace one user instruction at a time, or GO to the user program  
from active background mode.  
Non-intrusive commands can be executed at any time even while the user’s program is running.  
Non-intrusive commands allow a user to read or write MCU memory locations or access status and  
control registers within the background debug controller.  
Typically, a relatively simple interface pod is used to translate commands from a host computer into  
commands for the custom serial interface to the single-wire background debug system. Depending on the  
development tool vendor, this interface pod may use a standard RS-232 serial port, a parallel printer port,  
or some other type of communications such as a universal serial bus (USB) to communicate between the  
host PC and the pod. The pod typically connects to the target system with ground, the BKGD pin, RESET,  
and sometimes V . An open-drain connection to reset allows the host to force a target system reset,  
DD  
which is useful to regain control of a lost target system or to control startup of a target system before the  
on-chip nonvolatile memory has been programmed. Sometimes V can be used to allow the pod to use  
DD  
power from the target system to avoid the need for a separate power supply. However, if the pod is powered  
separately, it can be connected to a running target system without forcing a target system reset or otherwise  
disturbing the running application program.

17.2.1 BKGD Pin Description  
BKGD is the single-wire background debug interface pin. The primary function of this pin is for  
bidirectional serial communication of active background mode commands and data. During reset, this pin  
is used to select between starting in active background mode or starting the user’s application program.  
This pin is also used to request a timed sync response pulse to allow a host development tool to determine  
the correct clock frequency for background debug serial communications.  
BDC serial communications use a custom serial protocol first introduced on the M68HC12 Family of  
microcontrollers. This protocol assumes the host knows the communication clock rate that is determined  
by the target BDC clock rate. All communication is initiated and controlled by the host that drives a  
high-to-low edge to signal the beginning of each bit time. Commands and data are sent most significant  
bit first (MSB first). For a detailed description of the communications protocol, refer to Section 17.2.2,  
“Communication Details.”  
If a host is attempting to communicate with a target MCU that has an unknown BDC clock rate, a SYNC  
command may be sent to the target MCU to request a timed sync response signal from which the host can  
determine the correct communication speed.  
BKGD is a pseudo-open-drain pin and there is an on-chip pullup so no external pullup resistor is required.  
Unlike typical open-drain pins, the external RC time constant on this pin, which is influenced by external  
capacitance, plays almost no role in signal rise time. The custom protocol provides for brief, actively

driven speedup pulses to force rapid rise times on this pin without risking harmful drive level conflicts.  
Refer to Section 17.2.2, “Communication Details,” for more detail.  
When no debugger pod is connected to the 6-pin BDM interface connector, the internal pullup on BKGD  
chooses normal operating mode. When a debug pod is connected to BKGD it is possible to force the MCU  
into active background mode after reset. The specific conditions for forcing active background depend  
upon the HCS08 derivative (refer to the introduction to this Development Support section). It is not  
necessary to reset the target MCU to communicate with it through the background debug interface.  
17.2.2 Communication Details  
The BDC serial interface requires the external controller to generate a falling edge on the BKGD pin to  
indicate the start of each bit time. The external controller provides this falling edge whether data is  
transmitted or received.  
BKGD is a pseudo-open-drain pin that can be driven either by an external controller or by the MCU. Data  
is transferred MSB first at 16 BDC clock cycles per bit (nominal speed). The interface times out if  
512 BDC clock cycles occur between falling edges from the host. Any BDC command that was in progress  
when this timeout occurs is aborted without affecting the memory or operating mode of the target MCU  
system.  
The custom serial protocol requires the debug pod to know the target BDC communication clock speed.  
The clock switch (CLKSW) control bit in the BDC status and control register allows the user to select the  
BDC clock source. The BDC clock source can either be the bus or the alternate BDC clock source.  
The BKGD pin can receive a high or low level or transmit a high or low level. The following diagrams  
show timing for each of these cases. Interface timing is synchronous to clocks in the target BDC, but  
asynchronous to the external host. The internal BDC clock signal is shown for reference in counting  
cycles.  
Figure 17-2 shows an external host transmitting a logic 1 or 0 to the BKGD pin of a target HCS08 MCU.  
The host is asynchronous to the target so there is a 0-to-1 cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge  
to where the target perceives the beginning of the bit time. Ten target BDC clock cycles later, the target  
senses the bit level on the BKGD pin. Typically, the host actively drives the pseudo-open-drain BKGD pin  
during host-to-target transmissions to speed up rising edges. Because the target does not drive the BKGD  
pin during the host-to-target transmission period, there is no need to treat the line as an open-drain signal  
during this period.

enough for the target to recognize it (at least two target BDC cycles). The host must release the low drive  
before the target MCU drives a brief active-high speedup pulse seven cycles after the perceived start of the  
bit time. The host should sample the bit level about 10 cycles after it started the bit time.

Figure 17-4 shows the host receiving a logic 0 from the target HCS08 MCU. Because the host is  
asynchronous to the target MCU, there is a 0-to-1 cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge on  
BKGD to the start of the bit time as perceived by the target MCU. The host initiates the bit time but the  
target HCS08 finishes it. Because the target wants the host to receive a logic 0, it drives the BKGD pin low  
for 13 BDC clock cycles, then briefly drives it high to speed up the rising edge. The host samples the bit  
level about 10 cycles after starting the bit time.

17.2.3 BDC Commands  
BDC commands are sent serially from a host computer to the BKGD pin of the target HCS08 MCU. All  
commands and data are sent MSB-first using a custom BDC communications protocol. Active background  
mode commands require that the target MCU is currently in the active background mode while  
non-intrusive commands may be issued at any time whether the target MCU is in active background mode  
or running a user application program.

The SYNC command is a special operation that does not have a command code.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5

Freescale Semiconductor  
Development Support  
The SYNC command is unlike other BDC commands because the host does not necessarily know the  
correct communications speed to use for BDC communications until after it has analyzed the response to  
the SYNC command.  
To issue a SYNC command, the host:  
Drives the BKGD pin low for at least 128 cycles of the slowest possible BDC clock (The slowest  
clock is normally the reference oscillator/64 or the self-clocked rate/64.)  
Drives BKGD high for a brief speedup pulse to get a fast rise time (This speedup pulse is typically  
one cycle of the fastest clock in the system.)  
Removes all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance  
Monitors the BKGD pin for the sync response pulse  
The target, upon detecting the SYNC request from the host (which is a much longer low time than would  
ever occur during normal BDC communications):  
Waits for BKGD to return to a logic high  
Delays 16 cycles to allow the host to stop driving the high speedup pulse  
Drives BKGD low for 128 BDC clock cycles  
Drives a 1-cycle high speedup pulse to force a fast rise time on BKGD  
Removes all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance  
The host measures the low time of this 128-cycle sync response pulse and determines the correct speed for  
subsequent BDC communications. Typically, the host can determine the correct communication speed  
within a few percent of the actual target speed and the communication protocol can easily tolerate speed  
errors of several percent.  
17.2.4 BDC Hardware Breakpoint  
The BDC includes one relatively simple hardware breakpoint that compares the CPU address bus to a  
16-bit match value in the BDCBKPT register. This breakpoint can generate a forced breakpoint or a tagged  
breakpoint. A forced breakpoint causes the CPU to enter active background mode at the first instruction  
boundary following any access to the breakpoint address. The tagged breakpoint causes the instruction  
opcode at the breakpoint address to be tagged so that the CPU will enter active background mode rather  
than executing that instruction if and when it reaches the end of the instruction queue. This implies that  
tagged breakpoints can only be placed at the address of an instruction opcode while forced breakpoints can  
be set at any address.  
The breakpoint enable (BKPTEN) control bit in the BDC status and control register (BDCSCR) is used to  
enable the breakpoint logic (BKPTEN = 1). When BKPTEN = 0, its default value after reset, the  
breakpoint logic is disabled and no BDC breakpoints are requested regardless of the values in other BDC  
breakpoint registers and control bits. The force/tag select (FTS) control bit in BDCSCR is used to select  
forced (FTS = 1) or tagged (FTS = 0) type breakpoints.  
The on-chip debug module (DBG) includes circuitry for two additional hardware breakpoints that are more  
flexible than the simple breakpoint in the BDC module.

17.3 On-Chip Debug System (DBG)  
Because HCS08 devices do not have external address and data buses, the most important functions of an  
in-circuit emulator have been built onto the chip with the MCU. The debug system consists of an 8-stage  
FIFO that can store address or data bus information, and a flexible trigger system to decide when to capture  
bus information and what information to capture. The system relies on the single-wire background debug  
system to access debug control registers and to read results out of the eight stage FIFO.  
The debug module includes control and status registers that are accessible in the user’s memory map.  
These registers are located in the high register space to avoid using valuable direct page memory space.  
Most of the debug module’s functions are used during development, and user programs rarely access any  
of the control and status registers for the debug module. The one exception is that the debug system can  
provide the means to implement a form of ROM patching. This topic is discussed in greater detail in  
Section 17.3.6, “Hardware Breakpoints.”  
17.3.1 Comparators A and B  
Two 16-bit comparators (A and B) can optionally be qualified with the R/W signal and an opcode tracking  
circuit. Separate control bits allow you to ignore R/W for each comparator. The opcode tracking circuitry  
optionally allows you to specify that a trigger will occur only if the opcode at the specified address is  
actually executed as opposed to only being read from memory into the instruction queue. The comparators  
are also capable of magnitude comparisons to support the inside range and outside range trigger modes.  
Comparators are disabled temporarily during all BDC accesses.  
The A comparator is always associated with the 16-bit CPU address. The B comparator compares to the  
CPU address or the 8-bit CPU data bus, depending on the trigger mode selected. Because the CPU data  
bus is separated into a read data bus and a write data bus, the RWAEN and RWA control bits have an  
additional purpose, in full address plus data comparisons they are used to decide which of these buses to  
use in the comparator B data bus comparisons. If RWAEN = 1 (enabled) and RWA = 0 (write), the CPU’s  
write data bus is used. Otherwise, the CPU’s read data bus is used.  
The currently selected trigger mode determines what the debugger logic does when a comparator detects  
a qualified match condition. A match can cause:  
Generation of a breakpoint to the CPU  
Storage of data bus values into the FIFO  
Starting to store change-of-flow addresses into the FIFO (begin type trace)  
Stopping the storage of change-of-flow addresses into the FIFO (end type trace)  
17.3.2 Bus Capture Information and FIFO Operation  
The usual way to use the FIFO is to setup the trigger mode and other control options, then arm the  
debugger. When the FIFO has filled or the debugger has stopped storing data into the FIFO, you would  
read the information out of it in the order it was stored into the FIFO. Status bits indicate the number of  
words of valid information that are in the FIFO as data is stored into it. If a trace run is manually halted by  
writing 0 to ARM before the FIFO is full (CNT = 1:0:0:0), the information is shifted by one position and  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
252  
Freescale Semiconductor  
Development Support  
the host must perform ((8 – CNT) – 1) dummy reads of the FIFO to advance it to the first significant entry  
in the FIFO.  
In most trigger modes, the information stored in the FIFO consists of 16-bit change-of-flow addresses. In  
these cases, read DBGFH then DBGFL to get one coherent word of information out of the FIFO. Reading  
DBGFL (the low-order byte of the FIFO data port) causes the FIFO to shift so the next word of information  
is available at the FIFO data port. In the event-only trigger modes (see Section 17.3.5, “Trigger Modes),  
8-bit data information is stored into the FIFO. In these cases, the high-order half of the FIFO (DBGFH) is  
not used and data is read out of the FIFO by simply reading DBGFL. Each time DBGFL is read, the FIFO  
is shifted so the next data value is available through the FIFO data port at DBGFL.  
In trigger modes where the FIFO is storing change-of-flow addresses, there is a delay between CPU  
addresses and the input side of the FIFO. Because of this delay, if the trigger event itself is a  
change-of-flow address or a change-of-flow address appears during the next two bus cycles after a trigger  
event starts the FIFO, it will not be saved into the FIFO. In the case of an end-trace, if the trigger event is  
a change-of-flow, it will be saved as the last change-of-flow entry for that debug run.  
The FIFO can also be used to generate a profile of executed instruction addresses when the debugger is  
not armed. When ARM = 0, reading DBGFL causes the address of the most-recently fetched opcode to be  
saved in the FIFO. To use the profiling feature, a host debugger would read addresses out of the FIFO by  
reading DBGFH then DBGFL at regular periodic intervals. The first eight values would be discarded  
because they correspond to the eight DBGFL reads needed to initially fill the FIFO. Additional periodic  
reads of DBGFH and DBGFL return delayed information about executed instructions so the host debugger  
can develop a profile of executed instruction addresses.  
17.3.3 Change-of-Flow Information  
To minimize the amount of information stored in the FIFO, only information related to instructions that  
cause a change to the normal sequential execution of instructions is stored. With knowledge of the source  
and object code program stored in the target system, an external debugger system can reconstruct the path  
of execution through many instructions from the change-of-flow information stored in the FIFO.  
For conditional branch instructions where the branch is taken (branch condition was true), the source  
address is stored (the address of the conditional branch opcode). Because BRA and BRN instructions are  
not conditional, these events do not cause change-of-flow information to be stored in the FIFO.  
Indirect JMP and JSR instructions use the current contents of the H:X index register pair to determine the  
destination address, so the debug system stores the run-time destination address for any indirect JMP or  
JSR. For interrupts, RTI, or RTS, the destination address is stored in the FIFO as change-of-flow  
information.  
17.3.4 Tag vs. Force Breakpoints and Triggers  
Tagging is a term that refers to identifying an instruction opcode as it is fetched into the instruction queue,  
but not taking any other action until and unless that instruction is actually executed by the CPU. This  
distinction is important because any change-of-flow from a jump, branch, subroutine call, or interrupt  
causes some instructions that have been fetched into the instruction queue to be thrown away without being  
executed.  
MC9S08QG8 and MC9S08QG4 Data Sheet, Rev. 5  
Freescale Semiconductor  
253  
Development Support  
A force-type breakpoint waits for the current instruction to finish and then acts upon the breakpoint  
request. The usual action in response to a breakpoint is to go to active background mode rather than  
continuing to the next instruction in the user application program.  
The tag vs. force terminology is used in two contexts within the debug module. The first context refers to  
breakpoint requests from the debug module to the CPU. The second refers to match signals from the  
comparators to the debugger control logic. When a tag-type break request is sent to the CPU, a signal is  
entered into the instruction queue along with the opcode so that if/when this opcode ever executes, the  
CPU will effectively replace the tagged opcode with a BGND opcode so the CPU goes to active  
background mode rather than executing the tagged instruction. When the TRGSEL control bit in the DBGT  
register is set to select tag-type operation, the output from comparator A or B is qualified by a block of  
logic in the debug module that tracks opcodes and only produces a trigger to the debugger if the opcode at  
the compare address is actually executed. There is separate opcode tracking logic for each comparator so  
more than one compare event can be tracked through the instruction queue at a time.  
17.3.5 Trigger Modes  
The trigger mode controls the overall behavior of a debug run. The 4-bit TRG field in the DBGT register  
selects one of nine trigger modes. When TRGSEL = 1 in the DBGT register, the output of the comparator  
must propagate through an opcode tracking circuit before triggering FIFO actions. The BEGIN bit in  
DBGT chooses whether the FIFO begins storing data when the qualified trigger is detected (begin trace),  
or the FIFO stores data in a circular fashion from the time it is armed until the qualified trigger is detected  
(end trigger).  
A debug run is started by writing a 1 to the ARM bit in the DBGC register, which sets the ARMF flag and  
clears the AF and BF flags and the CNT bits in DBGS. A begin-trace debug run ends when the FIFO gets  
full. An end-trace run ends when the selected trigger event occurs. Any debug run can be stopped manually  
by writing a 0 to ARM or DBGEN in DBGC.  
In all trigger modes except event-only modes, the FIFO stores change-of-flow addresses. In event-only  
trigger modes, the FIFO stores data in the low-order eight bits of the FIFO.  
The BEGIN control bit is ignored in event-only trigger modes and all such debug runs are begin type  
traces. When TRGSEL = 1 to select opcode fetch triggers, it is not necessary to use R/W in comparisons  
because opcode tags would only apply to opcode fetches that are always read cycles. It would also be  
unusual to specify TRGSEL = 1 while using a full mode trigger because the opcode value is normally  
known at a particular address.  
The following trigger mode descriptions only state the primary comparator conditions that lead to a trigger.  
Either comparator can usually be further qualified with R/W by setting RWAEN (RWBEN) and the  
corresponding RWA (RWB) value to be matched against R/W. The signal from the comparator with  
optional R/W qualification is used to request a CPU breakpoint if BRKEN = 1 and TAG determines  
whether the CPU request will be a tag request or a force request.  
A-Only — Trigger when the address matches the value in comparator A  
A OR B — Trigger when the address matches either the value in comparator A or the value in  
comparator B

A Then B — Trigger when the address matches the value in comparator B but only after the address for  
another cycle matched the value in comparator A. There can be any number of cycles after the A match  
and before the B match.  
A AND B Data (Full Mode) — This is called a full mode because address, data, and R/W (optionally)  
must match within the same bus cycle to cause a trigger event. Comparator A checks address, the low byte  
of comparator B checks data, and R/W is checked against RWA if RWAEN = 1. The high-order half of  
comparator B is not used.  
In full trigger modes it is not useful to specify a tag-type CPU breakpoint (BRKEN = TAG = 1), but if you  
do, the comparator B data match is ignored for the purpose of issuing the tag request to the CPU and the  
CPU breakpoint is issued when the comparator A address matches.  
A AND NOT B Data (Full Mode) — Address must match comparator A, data must not match the low  
half of comparator B, and R/W must match RWA if RWAEN = 1. All three conditions must be met within  
the same bus cycle to cause a trigger.  
In full trigger modes it is not useful to specify a tag-type CPU breakpoint (BRKEN = TAG = 1), but if you  
do, the comparator B data match is ignored for the purpose of issuing the tag request to the CPU and the  
CPU breakpoint is issued when the comparator A address matches.  
Event-Only B (Store Data) — Trigger events occur each time the address matches the value in  
comparator B. Trigger events cause the data to be captured into the FIFO. The debug run ends when the  
FIFO becomes full.  
A Then Event-Only B (Store Data) — After the address has matched the value in comparator A, a trigger  
event occurs each time the address matches the value in comparator B. Trigger events cause the data to be  
captured into the FIFO. The debug run ends when the FIFO becomes full.  
Inside Range (A Address B) — A trigger occurs when the address is greater than or equal to the value  
in comparator A and less than or equal to the value in comparator B at the same time.  
Outside Range (Address < A or Address > B) — A trigger occurs when the address is either less than  
the value in comparator A or greater than the value in comparator B.

17.3.6 Hardware Breakpoints  
The BRKEN control bit in the DBGC register may be set to 1 to allow any of the trigger conditions  
described in Section 17.3.5, “Trigger Modes,” to be used to generate a hardware breakpoint request to the  
CPU. TAG in DBGC controls whether the breakpoint request will be treated as a tag-type breakpoint or a  
force-type breakpoint. A tag breakpoint causes the current opcode to be marked as it enters the instruction  
queue. If a tagged opcode reaches the end of the pipe, the CPU executes a BGND instruction to go to active  
background mode rather than executing the tagged opcode. A force-type breakpoint causes the CPU to  
finish the current instruction and then go to active background mode.  
If the background mode has not been enabled (ENBDM = 1) by a serial WRITE_CONTROL command  
through the BKGD pin, the CPU will execute an SWI instruction instead of going to active background  
mode.  
17.4 Register Definition  
This section contains the descriptions of the BDC and DBG registers and control bits.  
Refer to the high-page register summary in the device overview chapter of this data sheet for the absolute  
address assignments for all DBG registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their  
names. A Freescale-provided equate or header file is used to translate these names into the appropriate  
absolute addresses.  
17.4.1 BDC Registers and Control Bits  
The BDC has two registers:  
The BDC status and control register (BDCSCR) is an 8-bit register containing control and status  
bits for the background debug controller.  
The BDC breakpoint match register (BDCBKPT) holds a 16-bit breakpoint match address.  
These registers are accessed with dedicated serial BDC commands and are not located in the memory  
space of the target MCU (so they do not have addresses and cannot be accessed by user programs).  
Some of the bits in the BDCSCR have write limitations; otherwise, these registers may be read or written  
at any time. For example, the ENBDM control bit may not be written while the MCU is in active  
background mode. (This prevents the ambiguous condition of the control bit forbidding active background  
mode while the MCU is already in active background mode.) Also, the four status bits (BDMACT, WS,  
WSF, and DVF) are read-only status indicators and can never be written by the WRITE_CONTROL serial  
BDC command. The clock switch (CLKSW) control bit may be read or written at any time.

17.4.1.1 BDC Status and Control Register (BDCSCR)

Force/Tag Select — When FTS = 1, a breakpoint is requested whenever the CPU address bus matches the  
BDCBKPT match register. When FTS = 0, a match between the CPU address bus and the BDCBKPT register  
causes the fetched opcode to be tagged. If this tagged opcode ever reaches the end of the instruction queue,  
the CPU enters active background mode rather than executing the tagged opcode.

Wait or Stop Status — When the target CPU is in wait or stop mode, most BDC commands cannot function.  
However, the BACKGROUND command can be used to force the target CPU out of wait or stop and into active  
background mode where all BDC commands work. Whenever the host forces the target MCU into active  
background mode, the host should issue a READ_STATUS command to check that BDMACT = 1 before  
attempting other BDC commands.  
0 Target CPU is running user application code or in active background mode (was not in wait or stop mode when  
background became active)  
1 Target CPU is in wait or stop mode, or a BACKGROUND command was used to change from wait or stop to  
active background mode  
1
Wait or Stop Failure Status — This status bit is set if a memory access command failed due to the target CPU  
executing a wait or stop instruction at or about the same time. The usual recovery strategy is to issue a  
BACKGROUND command to get out of wait or stop mode into active background mode, repeat the command  
that failed, then return to the user program. (Typically, the host would restore CPU registers and stack values and  
re-execute the wait or stop instruction.)  
WSF

Data Valid Failure Status — This status bit is not used in the MC9S08QG8/4 because it does not have any slow  
access memory.  
0 Memory access did not conflict with a slow memory access  
1 Memory access command failed because CPU was not finished with a slow memory access  
17.4.1.2 BDC Breakpoint Match Register (BDCBKPT)  
This 16-bit register holds the address for the hardware breakpoint in the BDC. The BKPTEN and FTS  
control bits in BDCSCR are used to enable and configure the breakpoint logic. Dedicated serial BDC  
commands (READ_BKPT and WRITE_BKPT) are used to read and write the BDCBKPT register but is  
not accessible to user programs because it is not located in the normal memory map of the MCU.  
Breakpoints are normally set while the target MCU is in active background mode before running the user  
application program. For additional information about setup and use of the hardware breakpoint logic in  
the BDC, refer to Section 17.2.4, “BDC Hardware Breakpoint.”  
17.4.2 System Background Debug Force Reset Register (SBDFR)  
This register contains a single write-only control bit. A serial background mode command such as  
WRITE_BYTE must be used to write to SBDFR. Attempts to write this register from a user program are  
ignored. Reads always return 0x00.

an external debug host to force a target system reset. Writing 1 to this bit forces an MCU reset. This bit cannot

17.4.3 DBG Registers and Control Bits  
The debug module includes nine bytes of register space for three 16-bit registers and three 8-bit control  
and status registers. These registers are located in the high register space of the normal memory map so  
they are accessible to normal application programs. These registers are rarely if ever accessed by normal  
user application programs with the possible exception of a ROM patching mechanism that uses the  
breakpoint logic.  
17.4.3.1 Debug Comparator A High Register (DBGCAH)  
This register contains compare value bits for the high-order eight bits of comparator A. This register is  
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.  
17.4.3.2 Debug Comparator A Low Register (DBGCAL)  
This register contains compare value bits for the low-order eight bits of comparator A. This register is  
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.  
17.4.3.3 Debug Comparator B High Register (DBGCBH)  
This register contains compare value bits for the high-order eight bits of comparator B. This register is  
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.  
17.4.3.4 Debug Comparator B Low Register (DBGCBL)  
This register contains compare value bits for the low-order eight bits of comparator B. This register is  
forced to 0x00 at reset and can be read at any time or written at any time unless ARM = 1.

17.4.3.5 Debug FIFO High Register (DBGFH)  
This register provides read-only access to the high-order eight bits of the FIFO. Writes to this register have  
no meaning or effect. In the event-only trigger modes, the FIFO only stores data into the low-order byte  
of each FIFO word, so this register is not used and will read 0x00.  
Reading DBGFH does not cause the FIFO to shift to the next word. When reading 16-bit words out of the  
FIFO, read DBGFH before reading DBGFL because reading DBGFL causes the FIFO to advance to the  
next word of information.  
17.4.3.6 Debug FIFO Low Register (DBGFL)  
This register provides read-only access to the low-order eight bits of the FIFO. Writes to this register have  
no meaning or effect.  
Reading DBGFL causes the FIFO to shift to the next available word of information. When the debug  
module is operating in event-only modes, only 8-bit data is stored into the FIFO (high-order half of each  
FIFO word is unused). When reading 8-bit words out of the FIFO, simply read DBGFL repeatedly to get  
successive bytes of data from the FIFO. It isn’t necessary to read DBGFH in this case.  
Do not attempt to read data from the FIFO while it is still armed (after arming but before the FIFO is filled  
or ARMF is cleared) because the FIFO is prevented from advancing during reads of DBGFL. This can  
interfere with normal sequencing of reads from the FIFO.  
Reading DBGFL while the debugger is not armed causes the address of the most-recently fetched opcode  
to be stored to the last location in the FIFO. By reading DBGFH then DBGFL periodically, external host  
software can develop a profile of program execution. After eight reads from the FIFO, the ninth read will  
return the information that was stored as a result of the first read. To use the profiling feature, read the FIFO  
eight times without using the data to prime the sequence and then begin using the data to get a delayed  
picture of what addresses were being executed. The information stored into the FIFO on reads of DBGFL  
(while the FIFO is not armed) is the address of the most-recently fetched opcode.

Absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only, and functional operation at the maxima is not

permanent damage to the device. For functional operating conditions, refer to the remaining tables in this  
section.  
This device contains circuitry protecting against damage due to high static voltage or electrical fields;  
however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to avoid application of any voltages higher than  
maximum-rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused  
inputs are tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (for instance, either V or V ) or the programmable

All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to VSS and VDD

Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD range during instantaneous and  
operating maximum current conditions. If positive injection current (VIn > VDD) is greater than  
IDD, the injection current may flow out of VDD and could result in external power supply going  
out of regulation. Ensure external VDD load will shunt current greater than maximum injection  
current. This will be the greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power. Examples are: if  
no system clock is present, or if the clock rate is very low (which would reduce overall power  
consumption).

Thermal Characteristics  
This section provides information about operating temperature range, power dissipation, and package  
thermal resistance. Power dissipation on I/O pins is usually small compared to the power dissipation in  
on-chip logic and voltage regulator circuits, and it is user-determined rather than being controlled by the  
MCU design. To take P into account in power calculations, determine the difference between actual pin  
I/O  
voltage and V or V and multiply by the pin current for each I/O pin. Except in cases of unusually high

pin current (heavy loads), the difference between pin voltage and V or V will be very small.

ESD Protection and Latch-Up Immunity  
Although damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) is much less common on these devices than on early  
CMOS circuits, normal handling precautions should be used to avoid exposure to static discharge.  
Qualification tests are performed to ensure that these devices can withstand exposure to reasonable levels  
of static without suffering any permanent damage.  
All ESD testing is in conformity with AEC-Q100 Stress Test Qualification for Automotive Grade  
Integrated Circuits. During the device qualification ESD stresses were performed for the human body  
model (HBM), the machine model (MM) and the charge device model (CDM).  
A device is defined as a failure if after exposure to ESD pulses the device no longer meets the device  
specification. Complete DC parametric and functional testing is performed per the applicable device  
specification at room temperature followed by hot temperature, unless specified otherwise in the device  
specification.

RAM will retain data down to POR voltage. RAM data not guaranteed to be valid following a POR.  
This parameter is characterized and not tested on each device.  
Measurement condition for pull resistors: VIn = VSS for pullup and VIn = VDD for pulldown.  
PTA5/IRQ/TCLK/RESET pullup resistor may not pullup to the specified minimum VIH. However, all ports are functionally tested  
to guarantee that a logic 1 will be read on any port input when the pullup is enabled and no DC load is present on the pin.  
5
6
All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to VSS and VDD  
.
Input must be current limited to the value specified. To determine the value of the required current-limiting resistor, calculate  
resistance values for positive and negative clamp voltages, then use the larger of the two values.  
7
Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD range during instantaneous and operating maximum current  
conditions. If positive injection current (VIn > VDD) is greater than IDD, the injection current may flow out of VDD and could result  
in external power supply going out of regulation. Ensure external VDD load will shunt current greater than maximum injection  
current. This will be the greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power. Examples are: if no system clock is present, or if  
clock rate is very low (which would reduce overall power consumption).

TRIM register at default value (0x80) and FTRIM control bit at default value (0x0).  
This specification applies to any time the FLL reference source or reference divider is changed, trim value changed or changing  
from FLL disabled (FBELP, FBILP) to FLL enabled (FEI, FEE, FBE, FBI). If a crystal/resonator is being used as the reference,  
this specification assumes it is already running.

Jitter is the average deviation from the programmed frequency measured over the specified interval at maximum fBus  
.
Measurements are made with the device powered by filtered supplies and clocked by a stable external clock signal. Noise  
injected into the FLL circuitry via VDD and VSS and variation in crystal oscillator frequency increase the CJitter percentage for a  
given interval.

This is the shortest pulse that is guaranteed to be recognized.  
This is the minimum pulse width that is guaranteed to pass through the pin synchronization circuitry. Shorter pulses may or  
may not be recognized. In stop mode, the synchronizer is bypassed so shorter pulses can be recognized in that case.

A.12 EMC Performance  
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance is highly dependant on the environment in which the  
MCU resides. Board design and layout, circuit topology choices, location and characteristics of external  
components as well as MCU software operation all play a significant role in EMC performance. The  
system designer should consult Freescale applications notes such as AN2321, AN1050, AN1263,  
AN2764, and AN1259 for advice and guidance specifically targeted at optimizing EMC performance.  
A.12.1 Radiated Emissions  
Microcontroller radiated RF emissions are measured from 150 kHz to 1 GHz using the TEM/GTEM Cell  
method in accordance with the IEC 61967-2 and SAE J1752/3 standards. The measurement is performed  
with the microcontroller installed on a custom EMC evaluation board while running specialized EMC test  
software. The radiated emissions from the microcontroller are measured in a TEM cell in two package  
orientations (North and East).  
The maximum radiated RF emissions of the tested configuration in all orientations are less than or equal  
to the reported emissions levels.

A.12.2 Conducted Transient Susceptibility  
Microcontroller transient conducted susceptibility is measured in accordance with an internal Freescale  
test method. The measurement is performed with the microcontroller installed on a custom EMC  
evaluation board and running specialized EMC test software designed in compliance with the test method.  
The conducted susceptibility is determined by injecting the transient susceptibility signal on each pin of  
the microcontroller. The transient waveform and injection methodology is based on IEC 61000-4-4  
(EFT/B). The transient voltage required to cause performance degradation on any pin in the tested  
configuration is greater than or equal to the reported levels unless otherwise indicated by footnotes below
