C8051F50x-F51x  
1. System Overview  
C8051F50x-F51x devices are fully integrated mixed-signal System-on-a-Chip MCUs. Highlighted features  
are listed below. Refer to Table 2.1 for specific product feature selection and part ordering numbers.  
High-speed pipelined 8051-compatible microcontroller core (up to 50 MIPS)  
In-system, full-speed, non-intrusive debug interface (on-chip)  
Controller Area Network (CAN 2.0B) Controller with 32 message objects, each with its own indentifier  
mask (C8051F500/2/4/6/8-F510)  
LIN 2.1 peripheral (fully backwards compatible, master and slave modes) (C8051F500/2/4/6/8-F510)  
True 12-bit 200 ksps 32-channel single-ended ADC with analog multiplexer  
Precision programmable 24 MHz internal oscillator that is within ±0.5% across the operating range and  
temperature  
On-chip Clock Multiplier to reach up to 50 MHz  
64 kB (C8051F500/1/2/3/8/9) or 32 kB (C8051F504/5/6/7-F510/1) of on-chip Flash memory  
4352 bytes of on-chip RAM  
SMBus/I2C, Enhanced UART, and Enhanced SPI serial interfaces implemented in hardware  
Four general-purpose 16-bit timers  
External Data Memory Interface (C8051F500/1/4/5 and C8051F508/9-F510/1) with 64 kB address  
space  
Programmable Counter/Timer Array (PCA) with six capture/compare modules and Watchdog Timer  
function  
On-chip Voltage Regulator  
On-chip Power-On Reset, V Monitor, and Temperature Sensor  
DD  
On-chip Voltage Comparator  
40, 33, or 25 Port I/O (5 V push-pull)  
With on-chip Voltage Regulator, Power-On Reset, V monitor, Watchdog Timer, and clock oscillator, the  
DD  
C8051F50x-F51x devices are truly stand-alone System-on-a-Chip solutions. The Flash memory can be  
reprogrammed even in-circuit, providing non-volatile data storage, and also allowing field upgrades of the  
8051 firmware. User software has complete control of all peripherals, and may individually shut down any  
or all peripherals for power savings.  
The on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) Development Interface allows non-intrusive (uses no on-chip  
resources), full speed, in-circuit debugging using the production MCU installed in the final application. This  
debug logic supports inspection and modification of memory and registers, setting breakpoints, single  
stepping, run and halt commands. All analog and digital peripherals are fully functional while debugging  
using C2. The two C2 interface pins can be shared with user functions, allowing in-system debugging with-  
out occupying package pins.  
The devices are specified for 1.8 V to 5.25 V operation over the automotive temperature range (–40 to  
+125 °C). The Port I/O and RST pins can interface to 5 V logic by setting the VIO pin to 5 V. The  
C8051F500/1/4/5 devices are available in 48-pin QFP and QFN packages, the C8051F508/9-F510/1 are  
available in 40-pin QFN packages, and the C8051F502/3/6/7 devices are available in 32-pin QFP and  
QFN packages. All package options are lead-free and RoHS compliant. See Table 2.1 for ordering infor-  
mation. Block diagrams are included in Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, and Figure 1.3.

Notes:  
General  
1. All dimensions shown are in millimeters (mm) unless otherwise noted.  
2. This Land Pattern Design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.  
Solder Mask Design  
3. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the solder mask and the  
metal pad is to be 60m minimum, all the way around the pad.  
Stencil Design  
4. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used to assure  
good solder paste release.  
5. The stencil thickness should be 0.125mm (5 mils).  
6. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pads.  
Card Assembly  
7. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.  
8. Recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020 specification for Small Body  
Components.

4. Based on device characterization data; Not production tested. Does not include oscillator supply current.  
5. IDD can be estimated for frequencies < 12.5 MHz by simply multiplying the frequency of interest by the  
frequency sensitivity number for that range. When using these numbers to estimate IDD for >12.5 MHz, the  
estimate should be the current at 50 MHz minus the difference in current indicated by the frequency  
sensitivity number. For example: VDD = 2.6 V; F = 20 MHz, IDD = 26 mA - (50 MHz -  
20 MHz) * 0.48 mA/MHz = 11.6 mA.  
6. Idle IDD can be estimated for frequencies < 1 MHz by simply multiplying the frequency of interest by the  
frequency sensitivity number for that range. When using these numbers to estimate Idle IDD for >1 MHz, the  
estimate should be the current at 50 MHz minus the difference in current indicated by the frequency  
sensitivity number.   
For example: VDD = 2.6 V; F = 5 MHz, Idle IDD = 21 mA – (50 MHz – 5 MHz) x 0.41 mA/MHz = 2.6 mA.

6. 12-Bit ADC (ADC0)  
The ADC0 on the C8051F50x-F51x consists of an analog multiplexer (AMUX0) with 35/28 total input  
selections and a 200 ksps, 12-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC with integrated track-and-  
hold, programmable window detector, programmable attenuation (1:2), and hardware accumulator. The  
ADC0 subsystem has a special Burst Mode which can automatically enable ADC0, capture and accumu-  
late samples, then place ADC0 in a low power shutdown mode without CPU intervention. The AMUX0,  
data conversion modes, and window detector are all configurable under software control via the Special  
Function Registers shows in Figure 6.1. ADC0 inputs are single-ended and may be configured to measure  
P0.0-P3.7, the Temperature Sensor output, V , or GND with respect to GND. The voltage reference for  
DD  
ADC0 is selected as described in Section “7. Temperature Sensor” on page 72. ADC0 is enabled when the  
AD0EN bit in the ADC0 Control register (ADC0CN) is set to logic 1, or when performing conversions in  
Burst Mode. ADC0 is in low power shutdown when AD0EN is logic 0 and no Burst Mode conversions are  
taking place.

6.1. Modes of Operation  
In a typical system, ADC0 is configured using the following steps:  
1. If a gain adjustment is required, refer to Section “6.3. Selectable Gain” on page 58.  
2. Choose the start of conversion source.  
3. Choose Normal Mode or Burst Mode operation.  
4. If Burst Mode, choose the ADC0 Idle Power State and set the Power-Up Time.  
5. Choose the tracking mode. Note that Pre-Tracking Mode can only be used with Normal Mode.  
6. Calculate the required settling time and set the post convert-start tracking time using the AD0TK bits.  
7. Choose the repeat count.  
8. Choose the output word justification (Right-Justified or Left-Justified).  
9. Enable or disable the End of Conversion and Window Comparator Interrupts.  
6.1.1. Starting a Conversion  
A conversion can be initiated in one of four ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC0 Start  
of Conversion Mode bits (AD0CM10) in register ADC0CN. Conversions may be initiated by one of the fol-  
lowing:  
Writing a 1 to the AD0BUSY bit of register ADC0CN  
A rising edge on the CNVSTR input signal (pin P0.1)  
A Timer 1 overflow (i.e., timed continuous conversions)  
A Timer 2 overflow (i.e., timed continuous conversions)  
Writing a 1 to AD0BUSY provides software control of ADC0 whereby conversions are performed "on-  
demand.” During conversion, the AD0BUSY bit is set to logic 1 and reset to logic 0 when the conversion is  
complete. The falling edge of AD0BUSY triggers an interrupt (when enabled) and sets the ADC0 interrupt  
flag (AD0INT). Note: When polling for ADC conversion completions, the ADC0 interrupt flag (AD0INT)  
should be used. Converted data is available in the ADC0 data registers, ADC0H:ADC0L, when bit AD0INT  
is logic 1. Note that when Timer 2 overflows are used as the conversion source, Low Byte overflows are  
used if Timer2 is in 8-bit mode; High byte overflows are used if Timer 2 is in 16-bit mode. See Section  
“26. Timers” on page 265 for timer configuration.  
Important Note About Using CNVSTR: The CNVSTR input pin also functions as Port pin P0.1. When the  
CNVSTR input is used as the ADC0 conversion source, Port pin P0.1 should be skipped by the Digital  
Crossbar. To configure the Crossbar to skip P0.1, set to 1 Bit1 in register P0SKIP. See Section “20. Port  
Input/Output” on page 177 for details on Port I/O configuration.  
6.1.2. Tracking Modes  
Each ADC0 conversion must be preceded by a minimum tracking time for the converted result to be accu-  
rate. ADC0 has three tracking modes: Pre-Tracking, Post-Tracking, and Dual-Tracking. Pre-Tracking Mode  
provides the minimum delay between the convert start signal and end of conversion by tracking continu-  
ously before the convert start signal. This mode requires software management in order to meet minimum  
tracking requirements. In Post-Tracking Mode, a programmable tracking time starts after the convert start  
signal and is managed by hardware. Dual-Tracking Mode maximizes tracking time by tracking before and  
after the convert start signal. Figure 6.2 shows examples of the three tracking modes.  
Pre-Tracking Mode is selected when AD0TM is set to 10b. Conversions are started immediately following  
the convert start signal. ADC0 is tracking continuously when not performing a conversion. Software must  
allow at least the minimum tracking time between each end of conversion and the next convert start signal.  
The minimum tracking time must also be met prior to the first convert start signal after ADC0 is enabled.  
Rev. 1.1  
53  
C8051F50x-F51x  
Post-Tracking Mode is selected when AD0TM is set to 01b. A programmable tracking time based on  
AD0TK is started immediately following the convert start signal. Conversions are started after the pro-  
grammed tracking time ends. After a conversion is complete, ADC0 does not track the input. Rather, the  
sampling capacitor remains disconnected from the input making the input pin high-impedance until the  
next convert start signal.  
Dual-Tracking Mode is selected when AD0TM is set to 11b. A programmable tracking time based on  
AD0TK is started immediately following the convert start signal. Conversions are started after the pro-  
grammed tracking time ends. After a conversion is complete, ADC0 tracks continuously until the next con-  
version is started.  
Depending on the output connected to the ADC input, additional tracking time, more than is specified in  
Table 5.9, may be required after changing MUX settings. See the settling time requirements described in  
Section “6.2.1. Settling Time Requirements” on page 57.

6.1.3. Timing  
ADC0 has a maximum conversion speed specified in Table 5.9. ADC0 is clocked from the ADC0 Subsys-  
tem Clock (FCLK). The source of FCLK is selected based on the BURSTEN bit. When BURSTEN is  
logic 0, FCLK is derived from the current system clock. When BURSTEN is logic 1, FCLK is derived from  
the Burst Mode Oscillator, an independent clock source with a maximum frequency of 25 MHz.  
When ADC0 is performing a conversion, it requires a clock source that is typically slower than FCLK. The  
ADC0 SAR conversion clock (SAR clock) is a divided version of FCLK. The divide ratio can be configured  
using the AD0SC bits in the ADC0CF register. The maximum SAR clock frequency is listed in Table 5.9.  
ADC0 can be in one of three states at any given time: tracking, converting, or idle. Tracking time depends  
on the tracking mode selected. For Pre-Tracking Mode, tracking is managed by software and ADC0 starts  
conversions immediately following the convert start signal. For Post-Tracking and Dual-Tracking Modes,  
the tracking time after the convert start signal is equal to the value determined by the AD0TK bits plus 2  
FCLK cycles. Tracking is immediately followed by a conversion. The ADC0 conversion time is always 13  
SAR clock cycles plus an additional 2 FCLK cycles to start and complete a conversion. Figure 6.3 shows  
timing diagrams for a conversion in Pre-Tracking Mode and tracking plus conversion in Post-Tracking or  
Dual-Tracking Mode. In this example, repeat count is set to one.

6.1.4. Burst Mode  
Burst Mode is a power saving feature that allows ADC0 to remain in a very low power state between con-  
versions. When Burst Mode is enabled, ADC0 wakes from a very low power state, accumulates 1, 4, 8, or  
16 samples using an internal Burst Mode clock (approximately 25 MHz), then re-enters a very low power  
state. Since the Burst Mode clock is independent of the system clock, ADC0 can perform multiple conver-  
sions then enter a very low power state within a single system clock cycle, even if the system clock is slow  
(e.g., 32.768 kHz), or suspended.  
Burst Mode is enabled by setting BURSTEN to logic 1. When in Burst Mode, AD0EN controls the ADC0  
idle power state (i.e. the state ADC0 enters when not tracking or performing conversions). If AD0EN is set  
to logic 0, ADC0 is powered down after each burst. If AD0EN is set to logic 1, ADC0 remains enabled after  
each burst. On each convert start signal, ADC0 is awakened from its Idle Power State. If ADC0 is powered  
down, it will automatically power up and wait the programmable Power-Up Time controlled by the  
AD0PWR bits. Otherwise, ADC0 will start tracking and converting immediately. Figure 6.4 shows an exam-  
ple of Burst Mode Operation with a slow system clock and a repeat count of 4.  
Important Note: When Burst Mode is enabled, only Post-Tracking and Dual-Tracking modes can be used.  
When Burst Mode is enabled, a single convert start will initiate a number of conversions equal to the repeat  
count. When Burst Mode is disabled, a convert start is required to initiate each conversion. In both modes,  
the ADC0 End of Conversion Interrupt Flag (AD0INT) will be set after “repeat count” conversions have  
Rev. 1.1  
55  
C8051F50x-F51x  
been accumulated. Similarly, the Window Comparator will not compare the result to the greater-than and  
less-than registers until “repeat count” conversions have been accumulated.  
Note: When using Burst Mode, care must be taken to issue a convert start signal no faster than once every  
four SYSCLK periods. This includes external convert start signals.

6.2. Output Code Formatting  
The registers ADC0H and ADC0L contain the high and low bytes of the output conversion code. When the  
repeat count is set to 1, conversion codes are represented in 12-bit unsigned integer format and the output  
conversion code is updated after each conversion. Inputs are measured from 0 to V  
x 4095/4096. Data  
REF  
can be right-justified or left-justified, depending on the setting of the AD0LJST bit (ADC0CN.2). Unused  
bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to 0. Example codes are shown below for both right-justi-  
fied and left-justified data.

When the ADC0 Repeat Count is greater than 1, the output conversion code represents the accumulated  
result of the conversions performed and is updated after the last conversion in the series is finished. Sets  
of 4, 8, or 16 consecutive samples can be accumulated and represented in unsigned integer format. The  
repeat count can be selected using the AD0RPT bits in the ADC0CF register. The value must be right-jus-  
tified (AD0LJST = 0), and unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to 0. The following  
n
example shows right-justified codes for repeat counts greater than 1. Notice that accumulating 2 samples  
is equivalent to left-shifting by n bit positions when all samples returned from the ADC have the same  
value.

6.2.1. Settling Time Requirements  
A minimum tracking time is required before an accurate conversion is performed. This tracking time is  
determined by any series impedance, including the AMUX0 resistance, the ADC0 sampling capacitance,  
and the accuracy required for the conversion.  
Figure 6.5 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuit. The required ADC0 settling time for a given settling  
accuracy (SA) may be approximated by Equation 6.1. When measuring the Temperature Sensor output,  
use the settling time specified in Table 5.10 on page 50. When measuring V with respect to GND, R  
DD  
TO-  
reduces to R  
. See Table 5.9 for ADC0 minimum settling time requirements as well as the mux

6.3. Selectable Gain  
ADC0 on the C8051F50x-F51x family of devices implements a selectable gain adjustment option. By writ-  
ing a value to the gain adjust address range, the user can select gain values between 0 and 1.016.  
For example, three analog sources to be measured have full-scale outputs of 5.0 V, 4.0 V, and 3.0 V,  
respectively. Each ADC measurement would ideally use the full dynamic range of the ADC with an internal  
voltage reference of 1.5 V or 2.2 V (set to 2.2 V for this example). When selecting the first source (5.0 V  
full-scale), a gain value of 0.44 (5 V full scale x 0.44 = 2.2 V full scale) provides a full-scale signal of 2.2 V  
when the input signal is 5.0 V. Likewise, a gain value of 0.55 (4 V full scale x 0.55 = 2.2 V full scale) for the  
second source and 0.73 (3 V full scale x 0.73 = 2.2 V full scale) for the third source provide full-scale ADC0  
measurements when the input signal is full-scale.  
Additionally, some sensors or other input sources have small part-to-part variations that must be  
accounted for to achieve accurate results. In this case, the programmable gain value could be used as a  
calibration value to eliminate these part-to-part variations.  
6.3.1. Calculating the Gain Value  
The ADC0 selectable gain feature is controlled by 13 bits in three registers. ADC0GNH contains the 8  
upper bits of the gain value and ADC0GNL contains the 4 lower bits of the gain value. The final GAINADD  
bit (ADC0GNA.0) controls an optional extra 1/64 (0.016) of gain that can be added in addition to the  
ADC0GNH and ADC0GNL gain. The ADC0GNA.0 bit is set to 1 after a power-on reset.  
The equivalent gain for the ADC0GNH, ADC0GNL and ADC0GNA registers is as follows:  
GAIN

gain =

Where:  
GAIN is the 12-bit word of ADC0GNH[7:0] and ADC0GNL[7:4]  
GAINADD is the value of the GAINADD bit (ADC0GNA.0)  
gain is the equivalent gain value from 0 to 1.016  
58  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
For example, if ADC0GNH = 0xFC, ADC0GNL = 0x00, and GAINADD = 1, GAIN = 0xFC0 = 4032, and the  
resulting equation is as follows:  
4032

gain using this equation.

GAIN = gain GAINADD 

Equation 6.3. Calculating the ADC0GNH and ADC0GNL Values from the Desired Gain  
Where:  
GAIN is the 12-bit word of ADC0GNH[7:0] and ADC0GNL[7:4]  
GAINADD is the value of the GAINADD bit (ADC0GNA.0)  
gain is the equivalent gain value from 0 to 1.016  
When calculating the value of GAIN to load into the ADC0GNH and ADC0GNL registers, the GAINADD bit  
can be turned on or off to reach a value closer to the desired gain value.  
For example, the initial example in this section requires a gain of 0.44 to convert 5 V full scale to 2.2 V full  
scale. Using Equation 6.3:  
1
64  
  


GAIN = 0.44 GAINADD 

If GAINADD is set to 1, this makes the equation:

  
  
-----  
GAIN = 0.44 – 1   
4096 = 0.424 4096 = 1738 = 0x06CA  
The actual gain from setting GAINADD to 1 and ADC0GNH and ADC0GNL to 0x6CA is 0.4399. A similar  
gain can be achieved if GAINADD is set to 0 with a different value for ADC0GNH and ADC0GNL.

6.3.2. Setting the Gain Value  
The three programmable gain registers are accessed indirectly using the ADC0H and ADC0L registers  
when the GAINEN bit (ADC0CF.0) bit is set. ADC0H acts as the address register, and ADC0L is the data  
register. The programmable gain registers can only be written to and cannot be read. See Gain Register  
Definition 6.1, Gain Register Definition 6.2, and Gain Register Definition 6.3 for more information.  
The gain is programmed using the following steps:  
1. Set the GAINEN bit (ADC0CF.0)  
2. Load the ADC0H with the ADC0GNH, ADC0GNL, or ADC0GNA address.  
3. Load ADC0L with the desired value for the selected gain register.  
4. Reset the GAINEN bit (ADC0CF.0)  
Notes:  
1. An ADC conversion should not be performed while the GAINEN bit is set.  
2. Even with gain enabled, the maximum input voltage must be less than VREGIN and the maximum  
voltage of the signal after gain must be less than or equal to VREF  
.
In code, changing the value to 0.44 gain from the previous example looks like:  
// in ‘C’:  
ADC0CF |= 0x01;  
ADC0H = 0x04;  
ADC0L = 0x6C;  
ADC0H = 0x07;  
ADC0L = 0xA0;  
ADC0H = 0x08;  
ADC0L = 0x01;  
ADC0CF &= ~0x01;  
// GAINEN = 1  
// Load the ADC0GNH address  
// Load the upper byte of 0x6CA to ADC0GNH  
// Load the ADC0GNL address  
// Load the lower nibble of 0x6CA to ADC0GNL  
// Load the ADC0GNA address  
// Set the GAINADD bit  
// GAINEN = 0

2:1 A0RPT[1:0] ADC0 Repeat Count  
Controls the number of conversions taken and accumulated between ADC0 End of  
Conversion (ADCINT) and ADC0 Window Comparator (ADCWINT) interrupts. A con-  
vert start is required for each conversion unless Burst Mode is enabled. In Burst  
Mode, a single convert start can initiate multiple self-timed conversions. Results in  
both modes are accumulated in the ADC0H:ADC0L register. When AD0RPT1–0 are  
set to a value other than '00', the AD0LJST bit in the ADC0CN register must be  
set to '0' (right justified).  
00: 1 conversion is performed.  
01: 4 conversions are performed and accumulated.  
10: 8 conversions are performed and accumulated.  
11: 16 conversions are performed and accumulated.

6.4. Programmable Window Detector  
The ADC Programmable Window Detector continuously compares the ADC0 output registers to user-pro-  
grammed limits, and notifies the system when a desired condition is detected. This is especially effective in  
an interrupt-driven system, saving code space and CPU bandwidth while delivering faster system  
response times. The window detector interrupt flag (AD0WINT in register ADC0CN) can also be used in  
polled mode. The ADC0 Greater-Than (ADC0GTH, ADC0GTL) and Less-Than (ADC0LTH, ADC0LTL)  
registers hold the comparison values. The window detector flag can be programmed to indicate when mea-  
sured data is inside or outside of the user-programmed limits, depending on the contents of the ADC0  
Less-Than and ADC0 Greater-Than registers.

with  
ADC0LTH:ADC0LTL = 0x0200 (512d) and ADC0GTH:ADC0GTL = 0x0100 (256d). The input voltage can  
range from 0 to VREF x (4095/4096) with respect to GND, and is represented by a 12-bit unsigned integer  
value. The repeat count is set to one. In the left example, an AD0WINT interrupt will be generated if the  
ADC0 conversion word (ADC0H:ADC0L) is within the range defined by ADC0GTH:ADC0GTL and  
ADC0LTH:ADC0LTL (if 0x0100 < ADC0H:ADC0L < 0x0200). In the right example, and AD0WINT interrupt  
will be generated if the ADC0 conversion word is outside of the range defined by the ADC0GT and  
ADC0LT registers (if ADC0H:ADC0L < 0x0100 or ADC0H:ADC0L > 0x0200). Figure 6.7 shows an exam-

7. Temperature Sensor  
An on-chip temperature sensor is included on the C8051F50x-F51x devices which can be directly  
accessed via the ADC multiplexer in single-ended configuration. To use the ADC to measure the tempera-  
ture sensor, the ADC multiplexer channel should be configured to connect to the temperature sensor. The  
temperature sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 7.1. The output voltage (VTEMP) is the positive  
ADC input is selected by bits AD0MX[4:0] in register ADC0MX. The TEMPE bit in register REF0CN  
enables/disables the temperature sensor, as described in SFR Definition 8.1. While disabled, the tempera-  
ture sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any ADC measurements performed on the sensor will  
result in meaningless data. Refer to Table 5.10 for the slope and offset parameters of the temperature sen-  
sor.  
VTEMP = (Slope x TempC) + Offset  
TempC = (VTEMP - Offset) / Slope

8. Voltage Reference  
The Voltage reference multiplexer on the C8051F50x-F51x devices is configurable to use an externally  
connected voltage reference, the on-chip reference voltage generator routed to the VREF pin, or the VDD  
power supply voltage (see Figure 8.1). The REFSL bit in the Reference Control register (REF0CN, SFR  
Definition 8.1) selects the reference source for the ADC. For an external source or the on-chip reference,  
REFSL should be set to 0 to select the VREF pin. To use VDD as the reference source, REFSL should be  
set to 1.  
The BIASE bit enables the internal voltage bias generator, which is used by the ADC, Temperature Sensor,  
and internal oscillator. This bias is automatically enabled when any peripheral which requires it is enabled,  
and it does not need to be enabled manually. The bias generator may be enabled manually by writing a 1  
to the BIASE bit in register REF0CN. The electrical specifications for the voltage reference circuit are given  
in Table 5.11.  
The on-chip voltage reference circuit consists of a temperature stable bandgap voltage reference genera-  
tor and a gain-of-two output buffer amplifier. The output voltage is selectable between 1.5 V and 2.25 V.  
The on-chip voltage reference can be driven on the VREF pin by setting the REFBE bit in register REF0CN  
to a 1. The maximum load seen by the VREF pin must be less than 200 µA to GND. Bypass capacitors of  
0.1 µF and 4.7 µF are recommended from the VREF pin to GND. If the on-chip reference is not used, the  
REFBE bit should be cleared to 0. Electrical specifications for the on-chip voltage reference are given in  
Table 5.11.  
Important Note about the VREF Pin: When using either an external voltage reference or the on-chip ref-  
erence circuitry, the VREF pin should be configured as an analog pin and skipped by the Digital Crossbar.  
Refer to Section “20. Port Input/Output” on page 177 for the location of the VREF pin, as well as details of  
how to configure the pin in analog mode and to be skipped by the crossbar.

9. Comparators  
The C8051F50x-F51x devices include two on-chip programmable voltage Comparators. A block diagram  
of the comparators is shown in Figure 9.1, where “n” is the comparator number (0 or 1). The two Compara-  
tors operate identically except that Comparator0 can also be used a reset source. For input selection  
details, refer to SFR Definition 9.5 and SFR Definition 9.6.  
Each Comparator offers programmable response time and hysteresis, an analog input multiplexer, and two  
outputs that are optionally available at the Port pins: a synchronous “latched” output (CP0, CP1), or an  
asynchronous “raw” output (CP0A, CP1A). The asynchronous signal is available even when the system  
clock is not active. This allows the Comparators to operate and generate an output with the device in  
STOP mode. When assigned to a Port pin, the Comparator outputs may be configured as open drain or  
push-pull (see Section “20.4. Port I/O Initialization” on page 182). Comparator0 may also be used as a  
reset source (see Section “17.5. Comparator0 Reset” on page 145).  
The Comparator0 inputs are selected in the CPT0MX register (SFR Definition 9.5). The CMX0P1-CMX0P0  
bits select the Comparator0 positive input; the CMX0N1-CMX0N0 bits select the Comparator0 negative  
input. The Comparator1 inputs are selected in the CPT1MX register (SFR Definition 9.6). The CMX1P1-  
CMX1P0 bits select the Comparator1 positive input; the CMX1N1-CMX1N0 bits select the Comparator1  
negative input.  
Important Note About Comparator Inputs: The Port pins selected as Comparator inputs should be con-  
figured as analog inputs in their associated Port configuration register, and configured to be skipped by the  
Crossbar (for details on Port configuration, see Section “20.1. Port I/O Modes of Operation” on page 178).

Comparator outputs can be polled in software, used as an interrupt source, and/or routed to a Port pin.  
When routed to a Port pin, Comparator outputs are available asynchronous or synchronous to the system  
clock; the asynchronous output is available even in STOP mode (with no system clock active). When dis-  
abled, the Comparator output (if assigned to a Port I/O pin via the Crossbar) defaults to the logic low state,  
and the power supply to the comparator is turned off. See Section “20.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on  
page 180 for details on configuring Comparator outputs via the digital Crossbar. Comparator inputs can be  
externally driven from –0.25 V to (VDD) + 0.25 V without damage or upset. The complete Comparator elec-  
trical specifications are given in Table 5.12.  
The Comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPTnMD registers (see SFR Defini-  
tion 9.2). Selecting a longer response time reduces the Comparator supply current. See Table X for com-  
plete timing and supply current requirements.

Figure 9.2. Comparator Hysteresis Plot  
Comparator hysteresis is software-programmable via its Comparator Control register CPTnCN.  
The amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CPnHYN bits. As shown in  
Figure 9.2, various levels of negative hysteresis can be programmed, or negative hysteresis can be dis-  
abled. In a similar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is determined by the setting the CPnHYP bits.  
Comparator interrupts can be generated on both rising-edge and falling-edge output transitions. (For Inter-  
rupt enable and priority control, see Section “9.3. Interrupt Handler” on page 91.) The CPnFIF flag is set to  
1 upon a Comparator falling-edge, and the CPnRIF flag is set to 1 upon the Comparator rising-edge. Once  
set, these bits remain set until cleared by software. The output state of the Comparator can be obtained at  
any time by reading the CPnOUT bit. The Comparator is enabled by setting the CPnEN bit to 1, and is dis-  
abled by clearing this bit to 0.  
76  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
Note that false rising edges and falling edges can be detected when the comparator is first powered on or  
if changes are made to the hysteresis or response time control bits. Therefore, it is recommended that the  
rising-edge and falling-edge flags be explicitly cleared to logic 0 a short time after the comparator is  
enabled or its mode bits have been changed.

9.1. Comparator Multiplexer  
C8051F50x-F51x devices include an analog input multiplexer for each of the comparators to connect Port  
I/O pins to the comparator inputs. The Comparator0 inputs are selected in the CPT0MX register (SFR Def-  
inition 9.5). The CMX0P3CMX0P0 bits select the Comparator0 positive input; the CMX0N3CMX0N0 bits  
select the Comparator0 negative input. Similarly, the Comparator1 inputs are selected in the CPT1MX reg-  
ister using the CMX1P3-CMX1P0 bits and CMX1N3-CMX1N0 bits. The same pins are available to both  
multiplexers at the same time and can be used by both comparators simultaneously.  
Important Note About Comparator Inputs: The Port pins selected as comparator inputs should be con-  
figured as analog inputs in their associated Port configuration register, and configured to be skipped by the  
Crossbar (for details on Port configuration, see Section “20.6. Special Function Registers for Accessing  
and Configuring Port I/O” on page 191).

10. Voltage Regulator (REG0)  
C8051F50x-F51x devices include an on-chip low dropout voltage regulator (REG0). The input to REG0 at  
the VREGIN pin can be as high as 5.25 V. The output can be selected by software to 2.1 V or 2.6 V. When  
enabled, the output of REG0 appears on the VDD pin, powers the microcontroller core, and can be used to  
power external devices. On reset, REG0 is enabled and can be disabled by software.  
The Voltage regulator can generate an interrupt (if enabled by EREG0, EIE2.0) that is triggered whenever  
the VREGIN input voltage drops below the dropout threshold voltage. This dropout interrupt has no pending  
flag and the recommended procedure to use it is as follows:  
1. Wait enough time to ensure the VREGIN input voltage is stable  
2. Enable the dropout interrupt (EREG0, EIE2.0) and select the proper priority (PREG0, EIP2.0)  
3. If triggered, inside the interrupt disable it (clear EREG0, EIE2.0), execute all procedures necessary to  
protect your application (put it in a safe mode and leave the interrupt now disabled.  
4. In the main application, now running in the safe mode, regularly checks the DROPOUT bit  
(REG0CN.0). Once it is cleared by the regulator hardware the application can enable the interrupt  
again (EREG0, EIE1.6) and return to the normal mode operation.  
The input (VREGIN) and output (VDD) of the voltage regulator should both be bypassed with a large capaci-  
tor (4.7 µF + 0.1 µF) to ground as shown in Figure 10.1 below. This capacitor will eliminate power spikes  
and provide any immediate power required by the microcontroller. The settling time associated with the  
voltage regulator is shown in Table X.

11. CIP-51 Microcontroller  
The MCU system controller core is the CIP-51 microcontroller. The CIP-51 is fully compatible with the  
MCS-51™ instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop soft-  
ware. The MCU family has a superset of all the peripherals included with a standard 8051. The CIP-51  
also includes on-chip debug hardware (see description in Section 28), and interfaces directly with the ana-  
log and digital subsystems providing a complete data acquisition or control-system solution in a single inte-  
grated circuit.  
The CIP-51 Microcontroller core implements the standard 8051 organization and peripherals as well as  
additional custom peripherals and functions to extend its capability (see Figure 11.1 for a block diagram).  
The CIP-51 includes the following features:  
Fully Compatible with MCS-51 Instruction Set  
50 MIPS Peak Throughput with 50 MHz Clock  
0 to 50 MHz Clock Frequency  
Extended Interrupt Handler  
Reset Input  
Power Management Modes  
On-chip Debug Logic  
Program and Data Memory Security  
11.1. Performance  
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the stan-  
dard 8051 architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system  
clock cycles to execute, and usually have a maximum system clock of 12 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51  
core executes 70% of its instructions in one or two system clock cycles, with no instructions taking more  
than eight system clock cycles.

Programming and Debugging Support  
In-system programming of the Flash program memory and communication with on-chip debug support  
logic is accomplished via the Silicon Labs 2-Wire Development Interface (C2).  
The on-chip debug support logic facilitates full speed in-circuit debugging, allowing the setting of hardware  
breakpoints, starting, stopping and single stepping through program execution (including interrupt service  
routines), examination of the program's call stack, and reading/writing the contents of registers and mem-  
ory. This method of on-chip debugging is completely non-intrusive, requiring no RAM, Stack, timers, or  
other on-chip resources. C2 details can be found in Section “28. C2 Interface” on page 306.  
The CIP-51 is supported by development tools from Silicon Labs and third party vendors. Silicon Labs pro-  
vides an integrated development environment (IDE) including editor, debugger and programmer. The IDE's  
debugger and programmer interface to the CIP-51 via the C2 interface to provide fast and efficient in-sys-  
tem device programming and debugging. Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also avail-  
able.

11.2. Instruction Set  
The instruction set of the CIP-51 System Controller is fully compatible with the standard MCS-51™ instruc-  
tion set. Standard 8051 development tools can be used to develop software for the CIP-51. All CIP-51  
instructions are the binary and functional equivalent of their MCS-51™ counterparts, including opcodes,  
addressing modes and effect on PSW flags. However, instruction timing is different than that of the stan-  
dard 8051.  
11.2.1. Instruction and CPU Timing  
In many 8051 implementations, a distinction is made between machine cycles and clock cycles, with  
machine cycles varying from 2 to 12 clock cycles in length. However, the CIP-51 implementation is based  
solely on clock cycle timing. All instruction timings are specified in terms of clock cycles.  
Due to the pipelined architecture of the CIP-51, most instructions execute in the same number of clock  
cycles as there are program bytes in the instruction. Conditional branch instructions take one less clock  
cycle to complete when the branch is not taken as opposed to when the branch is taken. Table 11.1 is the  
CIP-51 Instruction Set Summary, which includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock  
cycles for each instruction.

11.3. CIP-51 Register Descriptions  
Following are descriptions of SFRs related to the operation of the CIP-51 System Controller. Reserved bits  
should not be set to logic l. Future product versions may use these bits to implement new features in which  
case the reset value of the bit will be logic 0, selecting the feature's default state. Detailed descriptions of  
the remaining SFRs are included in the sections of the datasheet associated with their corresponding sys-  
tem function.

11.4. Serial Number Special Function Registers (SFRs)  
The C8051F50x-F51x devices include four SFRs, SN0 through SN3, that are pre-programmed during pro-  
duction with a unique, 32-bit serial number. The serial number provides a unique identification number for  
each device and can be read from the application firmware. If the serial number is not used in the applica-  
tion, these four registers can be used as general purpose SFRs.

12. Memory Organization  
The memory organization of the CIP-51 System Controller is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are  
two separate memory spaces: program memory and data memory. Program and data memory share the  
same address space but are accessed via different instruction types. The memory organization is shown in

12.1. Program Memory  
The CIP-51 core has a 64 kB program memory space. The C8051F50x-F51x devices implement 64 kB or  
32 kB of this program memory space as in-system, re-programmable Flash memory, organized in a contig-  
uous block from addresses 0x0000 to 0xFFFF in 64 kB devices and addresses 0x0000 to 0x7FFF in 32 kB  
devices. The address 0xFBFF in 64 kB devices and 0x7FFF in 32 kB devices serves as the security lock  
byte for the device. Addresses above 0xFDFF are reserved in the 64 kB devices.

12.1.1. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory  
The MOVX instruction in an 8051 device is typically used to access external data memory. On the  
C8051F50x-F51x devices, the MOVX instruction is normally used to read and write on-chip XRAM, but can  
be re-configured to write and erase on-chip Flash memory space. MOVC instructions are always used to  
read Flash memory, while MOVX write instructions are used to erase and write Flash. This Flash access  
feature provides a mechanism for the C8051F50x-F51x to update program code and use the program  
memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Section “15. Flash Memory” on page 129 for further  
details.  
12.2. Data Memory  
The C8051F50x-F51x devices include 4352 bytes of RAM data memory. 256 bytes of this memory is  
mapped into the internal RAM space of the 8051. The other 4096 bytes of this memory is on-chip “exter-  
nal” memory. The data memory map is shown in Figure 12.1 for reference.  
12.2.1. Internal RAM  
There are 256 bytes of internal RAM mapped into the data memory space from 0x00 through 0xFF. The  
lower 128 bytes of data memory are used for general purpose registers and scratch pad memory. Either  
direct or indirect addressing may be used to access the lower 128 bytes of data memory. Locations 0x00  
through 0x1F are addressable as four banks of general purpose registers, each bank consisting of eight  
98  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
byte-wide registers. The next 16 bytes, locations 0x20 through 0x2F, may either be addressed as bytes or  
as 128 bit locations accessible with the direct addressing mode.  
The upper 128 bytes of data memory are accessible only by indirect addressing. This region occupies the  
same address space as the Special Function Registers (SFR) but is physically separate from the SFR  
space. The addressing mode used by an instruction when accessing locations above 0x7F determines  
whether the CPU accesses the upper 128 bytes of data memory space or the SFRs. Instructions that use  
direct addressing will access the SFR space. Instructions using indirect addressing above 0x7F access the  
upper 128 bytes of data memory. Figure 12.1 illustrates the data memory organization of the C8051F50x-  
F51x.  
12.2.1.1. General Purpose Registers  
The lower 32 bytes of data memory, locations 0x00 through 0x1F, may be addressed as four banks of gen-  
eral-purpose registers. Each bank consists of eight byte-wide registers designated R0 through R7. Only  
one of these banks may be enabled at a time. Two bits in the program status word, RS0 (PSW.3) and RS1  
(PSW.4), select the active register bank (see description of the PSW in SFR Definition 11.6). This allows  
fast context switching when entering subroutines and interrupt service routines. Indirect addressing modes  
use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.  
12.2.1.2. Bit Addressable Locations  
In addition to direct access to data memory organized as bytes, the sixteen data memory locations at 0x20  
through 0x2F are also accessible as 128 individually addressable bits. Each bit has a bit address from  
0x00 to 0x7F. Bit 0 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x00 while bit7 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address  
0x07. Bit 7 of the byte at 0x2F has bit address 0x7F. A bit access is distinguished from a full byte access by  
the type of instruction used (bit source or destination operands as opposed to a byte source or destina-  
tion).  
The MCS-51™ assembly language allows an alternate notation for bit addressing of the form XX.B where  
XX is the byte address and B is the bit position within the byte. For example, the instruction:  
MOV  
C, 22.3h  
moves the Boolean value at 0x13 (bit 3 of the byte at location 0x22) into the Carry flag.  
12.2.1.3. Stack  
A programmer's stack can be located anywhere in the 256-byte data memory. The stack area is desig-  
nated using the Stack Pointer (SP) SFR. The SP will point to the last location used. The next value pushed  
on the stack is placed at SP+1 and then SP is incremented. A reset initializes the stack pointer to location  
0x07. Therefore, the first value pushed on the stack is placed at location 0x08, which is also the first regis-  
ter (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if more than one register bank is to be used, the SP should be initialized  
to a location in the data memory not being used for data storage. The stack depth can extend up to  
256 bytes.

C8051F50x-F51x  
13. Special Function Registers  
The direct-access data memory locations from 0x80 to 0xFF constitute the special function registers  
(SFRs). The SFRs provide control and data exchange with the C8051F50x-F51x's resources and peripher-  
als. The CIP-51 controller core duplicates the SFRs found in a typical 8051 implementation as well as  
implementing additional SFRs used to configure and access the sub-systems unique to the C8051F50x-  
F51x. This allows the addition of new functionality while retaining compatibility with the MCS-51™ instruc-  
tion set. Table 13.3 lists the SFRs implemented in the C8051F50x-F51x device family.  
The SFR registers are accessed anytime the direct addressing mode is used to access memory locations  
from 0x80 to 0xFF. SFRs with addresses ending in 0x0 or 0x8 (e.g., P0, TCON, SCON0, IE, etc.) are bit-  
addressable as well as byte-addressable. All other SFRs are byte-addressable only. Unoccupied  
addresses in the SFR space are reserved for future use. Accessing unoccupied addresses in the SFR  
space will have an indeterminate effect and should be avoided. Refer to the corresponding pages of the  
data sheet, as indicated in Table 13.3, for a detailed description of each register.  
13.1. SFR Paging  
The CIP-51 features SFR paging, allowing the device to map many SFRs into the 0x80 to 0xFF memory  
address space. The SFR memory space has 256 pages. In this way, each memory location from 0x80 to  
0xFF can access up to 256 SFRs. The C8051F50x-F51x family of devices utilizes three SFR pages: 0x0,  
0xC, and 0xF. SFR pages are selected using the Special Function Register Page Selection register,  
SFRPAGE (see SFR Definition 11.3). The procedure for reading and writing an SFR is as follows:  
1. Select the appropriate SFR page number using the SFRPAGE register.  
2. Use direct accessing mode to read or write the special function register (MOV instruction).  
13.2. Interrupts and SFR Paging  
When an interrupt occurs, the SFR Page Register will automatically switch to the SFR page containing the  
flag bit that caused the interrupt. The automatic SFR Page switch function conveniently removes the bur-  
den of switching SFR pages from the interrupt service routine. Upon execution of the RETI instruction, the  
SFR page is automatically restored to the SFR Page in use prior to the interrupt. This is accomplished via  
a three-byte SFR Page Stack. The top byte of the stack is SFRPAGE, the current SFR Page. The second  
byte of the SFR Page Stack is SFRNEXT. The third, or bottom byte of the SFR Page Stack is SFRLAST.  
Upon an interrupt, the current SFRPAGE value is pushed to the SFRNEXT byte, and the value of SFRN-  
EXT is pushed to SFRLAST. Hardware then loads SFRPAGE with the SFR Page containing the flag bit  
associated with the interrupt. On a return from interrupt, the SFR Page Stack is popped resulting in the  
value of SFRNEXT returning to the SFRPAGE register, thereby restoring the SFR page context without  
software intervention. The value in SFRLAST (0x00 if there is no SFR Page value in the bottom of the  
stack) of the stack is placed in SFRNEXT register. If desired, the values stored in SFRNEXT and SFR-  
LAST may be modified during an interrupt, enabling the CPU to return to a different SFR Page upon exe-  
cution of the RETI instruction (on interrupt exit). Modifying registers in the SFR Page Stack does not cause  
a push or pop of the stack. Only interrupt calls and returns will cause push/pop operations on the SFR  
Page Stack.  
On the C8051F50x-F51x devices, vectoring to an interrupt will switch SFRPAGE to page 0x00, except for  
the CAN0 interrupt which will switch SFRPAGE to page 0x0C.

Automatic hardware switching of the SFR Page on interrupts may be enabled or disabled as desired using  
the SFR Automatic Page Control Enable Bit located in the SFR Page Control Register (SFR0CN). This  
function defaults to “enabled” upon reset. In this way, the autoswitching function will be enabled unless dis-  
abled in software.  
A summary of the SFR locations (address and SFR page) are provided in Table 13.3 in the form of an SFR  
memory map. Each memory location in the map has an SFR page row, denoting the page in which that  
SFR resides. Certain SFRs are accessible from ALL SFR pages, and are denoted by the “(ALL PAGES)”  
designation. For example, the Port I/O registers P0, P1, P2, and P3 all have the “(ALL PAGES)” designa-  
tion, indicating these SFRs are accessible from all SFR pages regardless of the SFRPAGE register value.  
13.3. SFR Page Stack Example  
The following is an example that shows the operation of the SFR Page Stack during interrupts. In this  
example, the SFR Control register is left in the default enabled state (i.e., SFRPGEN = 1), and the CIP-51  
is executing in-line code that is writing values to SPI Data Register (SFR “SPI0DAT”, located at address  
0xA3 on SFR Page 0x00). The device is also using the CAN peripheral (CAN0) and the Programmable  
Counter Array (PCA0) peripheral to generate a PWM output. The PCA is timing a critical control function in  
its interrupt service round so its associated ISR that is set to low priority. At this point, the SFR page is set  
to access the SPI0DAT SFR (SFRPAGE = 0x00). See Figure 13.2.

Figure 13.2. SFR Page Stack While Using SFR Page 0x0 To Access SPI0DAT  
While CIP-51 executes in-line code (writing values to SPI0DAT in this example), the CAN0 Interrupt  
occurs. The CIP-51 vectors to the CAN0 ISR and pushes the current SFR Page value (SFR Page 0x00)  
into SFRNEXT in the SFR Page Stack. The SFR page needed to access CAN’s SFRs is then automatically  
placed in the SFRPAGE register (SFR Page 0x0C). SFRPAGE is considered the “top” of the SFR Page  
Stack. Software can now access the CAN0 SFRs. Software may switch to any SFR Page by writing a new  
value to the SFRPAGE register at any time during the CAN0 ISR to access SFRs that are not on SFR  
Page 0x0C. See Figure 13.3.

Figure 13.3. SFR Page Stack After CAN0 Interrupt Occurs  
While in the CAN0 ISR, a PCA interrupt occurs. Recall the PCA interrupt is configured as a high priority  
interrupt, while the CAN0 interrupt is configured as a low priority interrupt. Thus, the CIP-51 will now vector  
to the high priority PCA ISR. Upon doing so, the CIP-51 will automatically place the SFR page needed to  
access the PCA’s special function registers into the SFRPAGE register, SFR Page 0x00. The value that  
was in the SFRPAGE register before the PCA interrupt (SFR Page 0x0C for CAN0) is pushed down the  
stack into SFRNEXT. Likewise, the value that was in the SFRNEXT register before the PCA interrupt (in  
this case SFR Page 0x00 for SPI0DAT) is pushed down to the SFRLAST register, the “bottom” of the  
stack. Note that a value stored in SFRLAST (via a previous software write to the SFRLAST register) will be  
overwritten. See Figure 13.4.

On exit from the PCA interrupt service routine, the CIP-51 will return to the CAN0 ISR. On execution of the  
RETI instruction, SFR Page 0x00 used to access the PCA registers will be automatically popped off of the  
SFR Page Stack, and the contents of the SFRNEXT register will be moved to the SFRPAGE register. Soft-  
ware in the CAN0 ISR can continue to access SFRs as it did prior to the PCA interrupt. Likewise, the con-  
tents of SFRLAST are moved to the SFRNEXT register. Recall this was the SFR Page value 0x00 being  
used to access SPI0DAT before the CAN0 interrupt occurred. See Figure 13.5.

In the example above, all three bytes in the SFR Page Stack are accessible via the SFRPAGE, SFRNEXT,  
and SFRLAST special function registers. If the stack is altered while servicing an interrupt, it is possible to  
return to a different SFR Page upon interrupt exit than selected prior to the interrupt call. Direct access to  
the SFR Page stack can be useful to enable real-time operating systems to control and manage context  
switching between multiple tasks.  
Push operations on the SFR Page Stack only occur on interrupt service, and pop operations only occur on  
interrupt exit (execution on the RETI instruction). The automatic switching of the SFRPAGE and operation  
of the SFR Page Stack as described above can be disabled in software by clearing the SFR Automatic  
Page Enable Bit (SFRPGEN) in the SFR Page Control Register (SFR0CN). See SFR Definition 13.1.

7:0 SFRPAGE[7:0] SFR Page Bits.  
Function  
Represents the SFR Page the C8051 core uses when reading or modifying  
SFRs.  
Write: Sets the SFR Page.  
Read: Byte is the SFR page the C8051 core is using.  
When enabled in the SFR Page Control Register (SFR0CN), the C8051 core will  
automatically switch to the SFR Page that contains the SFRs of the correspond-  
ing peripheral/function that caused the interrupt, and return to the previous SFR  
page upon return from interrupt (unless SFR Stack was altered before a return-  
ing from the interrupt). SFRPAGE is the top byte of the SFR Page Stack, and  
push/pop events of this stack are caused by interrupts (and not by reading/writ-  
ing to the SFRPAGE register)

7:0 SFRNEXT[7:0] SFR Page Bits.  
Function  
This is the value that will go to the SFR Page register upon a return from inter-  
rupt.  
Write: Sets the SFR Page contained in the second byte of the SFR Stack. This  
will cause the SFRPAGE SFR to have this SFR page value upon a return from  
interrupt.  
Read: Returns the value of the SFR page contained in the second byte of the  
SFR stack.  
SFR page context is retained upon interrupts/return from interrupts in a 3 byte  
SFR Page Stack: SFRPAGE is the first entry, SFRNEXT is the second, and  
SFRLAST is the third entry. The SFR stack bytes may be used alter the context  
in the SFR Page Stack, and will not cause the stack to “push” or “pop”. Only  
interrupts and return from interrupts cause pushes and pops of the SFR Page  
Stack.

Function  
This is the value that will go to the SFRNEXT register upon a return from inter-  
rupt.  
Write: Sets the SFR Page in the last entry of the SFR Stack. This will cause the  
SFRNEXT SFR to have this SFR page value upon a return from interrupt.  
Read: Returns the value of the SFR page contained in the last entry of the SFR  
stack.

14. Interrupts  
The C8051F50x-F51x devices include an extended interrupt system supporting a total of 18 interrupt  
sources with two priority levels. The allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripherals and exter-  
nal inputs pins varies according to the specific version of the device. Each interrupt source has one or  
more associated interrupt-pending flag(s) located in an SFR. When a peripheral or external source meets  
a valid interrupt condition, the associated interrupt-pending flag is set to logic 1.  
If interrupts are enabled for the source, an interrupt request is generated when the interrupt-pending flag is  
set. As soon as execution of the current instruction is complete, the CPU generates an LCALL to a prede-  
termined address to begin execution of an interrupt service routine (ISR). Each ISR must end with an RETI  
instruction, which returns program execution to the next instruction that would have been executed if the  
interrupt request had not occurred. If interrupts are not enabled, the interrupt-pending flag is ignored by the  
hardware and program execution continues as normal. (The interrupt-pending flag is set to logic 1 regard-  
less of the interrupt's enable/disable state.)  
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled through the use of an associated interrupt  
enable bit in an SFR (IE, EIE1, or EIE2). However, interrupts must first be globally enabled by setting the  
EA bit (IE.7) to logic 1 before the individual interrupt enables are recognized. Setting the EA bit to logic 0  
disables all interrupt sources regardless of the individual interrupt-enable settings.  
Note: Any instruction that clears a bit to disable an interrupt should be immediately followed by an instruction that has  
two or more opcode bytes. Using EA (global interrupt enable) as an example:  
// in 'C':  
EA = 0; // clear EA bit.  
EA = 0; // this is a dummy instruction with two-byte opcode.  
; in assembly:  
CLR EA ; clear EA bit.  
CLR EA ; this is a dummy instruction with two-byte opcode.  
For example, if an interrupt is posted during the execution phase of a "CLR EA" opcode (or any instruction  
which clears a bit to disable an interrupt source), and the instruction is followed by a single-cycle instruc-  
tion, the interrupt may be taken. However, a read of the enable bit will return a 0 inside the interrupt service  
routine. When the bit-clearing opcode is followed by a multi-cycle instruction, the interrupt will not be taken.  
Some interrupt-pending flags are automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR.  
However, most are not cleared by the hardware and must be cleared by software before returning from the  
ISR. If an interrupt-pending flag remains set after the CPU completes the return-from-interrupt (RETI)  
instruction, a new interrupt request will be generated immediately and the CPU will re-enter the ISR after  
the completion of the next instruction.  
14.1. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors  
The C8051F50x-F51x MCUs support 18 interrupt sources. Software can simulate an interrupt by setting  
any interrupt-pending flag to logic 1. If interrupts are enabled for the flag, an interrupt request will be gener-  
ated and the CPU will vector to the ISR address associated with the interrupt-pending flag. MCU interrupt  
sources, associated vector addresses, priority order and control bits are summarized in Table 14.1. Refer  
to the datasheet section associated with a particular on-chip peripheral for information regarding valid  
interrupt conditions for the peripheral and the behavior of its interrupt-pending flag(s).

C8051F50x-F51x  
14.1.1. Interrupt Priorities  
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of two priority levels: low or high. A low prior-  
ity interrupt service routine can be preempted by a high priority interrupt. A high priority interrupt cannot be  
preempted. Each interrupt has an associated interrupt priority bit in an SFR (IE, EIP1, or EIP2) used to  
configure its priority level. Low priority is the default. If two interrupts are recognized simultaneously, the  
interrupt with the higher priority is serviced first. If both interrupts have the same priority level, a fixed prior-  
ity order is used to arbitrate, given in Table 14.1.  
14.1.2. Interrupt Latency  
Interrupt response time depends on the state of the CPU when the interrupt occurs. Pending interrupts are  
sampled and priority decoded each system clock cycle. Therefore, the fastest possible response time is 5  
system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt and 4 clock cycles to complete the LCALL to the  
ISR. If an interrupt is pending when a RETI is executed, a single instruction is executed before an LCALL  
is made to service the pending interrupt. Therefore, the maximum response time for an interrupt (when no  
other interrupt is currently being serviced or the new interrupt is of greater priority) occurs when the CPU is  
performing an RETI instruction followed by a DIV as the next instruction. In this case, the response time is  
18 system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt, 5 clock cycles to execute the RETI, 8 clock  
cycles to complete the DIV instruction and 4 clock cycles to execute the LCALL to the ISR. If the CPU is  
executing an ISR for an interrupt with equal or higher priority, the new interrupt will not be serviced until the  
current ISR completes, including the RETI and following instruction.

14.3. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1  
The INT0 and INT1 external interrupt sources are configurable as active high or low, edge or level sensi-  
tive. The IN0PL (INT0 Polarity) and IN1PL (INT1 Polarity) bits in the IT01CF register select active high or  
active low; the IT0 and IT1 bits in TCON (Section “26.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1” on page 267) select level or  
edge sensitive. The table below lists the possible configurations.

INT0 and INT1 are assigned to Port pins as defined in the IT01CF register (see SFR Definition 14.7). Note  
that INT0 and INT0 Port pin assignments are independent of any Crossbar assignments. INT0 and INT1  
will monitor their assigned Port pins without disturbing the peripheral that was assigned the Port pin via the  
Crossbar. To assign a Port pin only to INT0 and/or INT1, configure the Crossbar to skip the selected pin(s).  
This is accomplished by setting the associated bit in register XBR0 (see Section “20.3. Priority Crossbar  
Decoder” on page 180 for complete details on configuring the Crossbar).

C8051F50x-F51x  
IE0 (TCON.1) and IE1 (TCON.3) serve as the interrupt-pending flags for the INT0 and INT1 external inter-  
rupts, respectively. If an INT0 or INT1 external interrupt is configured as edge-sensitive, the corresponding  
interrupt-pending flag is automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. When  
configured as level sensitive, the interrupt-pending flag remains logic 1 while the input is active as defined  
by the corresponding polarity bit (IN0PL or IN1PL); the flag remains logic 0 while the input is inactive. The  
external interrupt source must hold the input active until the interrupt request is recognized. It must then  
deactivate the interrupt request before execution of the ISR completes or another interrupt request will be  
generated.

15. Flash Memory  
On-chip, re-programmable Flash memory is included for program code and non-volatile data storage. The  
Flash memory can be programmed in-system, a single byte at a time, through the C2 interface or by soft-  
ware using the MOVX instruction. Once cleared to logic 0, a Flash bit must be erased to set it back to  
logic 1. Flash bytes would typically be erased (set to 0xFF) before being reprogrammed. The write and  
erase operations are automatically timed by hardware for proper execution; data polling to determine the  
end of the write/erase operation is not required. Code execution is stalled during a Flash write/erase oper-  
ation. Refer to Table 5.5 for complete Flash memory electrical characteristics.  
15.1. Programming The Flash Memory  
The simplest means of programming the Flash memory is through the C2 interface using programming  
tools provided by Silicon Labs or a third party vendor. This is the only means for programming a non-initial-  
ized device. For details on the C2 commands to program Flash memory, see Section “28. C2 Interface” on  
page 306.  
To ensure the integrity of Flash contents, The on-chip VDD Monitor must be enabled in any system that  
includes code that writes and/or erases Flash memory from software. See Section 15.4 for more details.  
Before performing any Flash write or erase procedure, set the FLEWT bit in Flash Scale register (FLSCL)  
to ‘1’. Also, note that 8-bit MOVX instructions cannot be used to erase or write to Flash memory at  
addresses higher than 0x00FF.  
15.1.1. Flash Lock and Key Functions  
Flash writes and erases by user software are protected with a lock and key function. The Flash Lock and  
Key Register (FLKEY) must be written with the correct key codes, in sequence, before Flash operations  
may be performed. The key codes are: 0xA5, 0xF1. The timing does not matter, but the codes must be  
written in order. If the key codes are written out of order, or the wrong codes are written, Flash writes and  
erases will be disabled until the next system reset. Flash writes and erases will also be disabled if a Flash  
write or erase is attempted before the key codes have been written properly. The Flash lock resets after  
each write or erase; the key codes must be written again before a following Flash operation can be per-  
formed. The FLKEY register is detailed in SFR Definition 15.2.  
15.1.2. Flash Erase Procedure  
The Flash memory can be programmed by software using the MOVX write instruction with the address and  
data byte to be programmed provided as normal operands. Before writing to Flash memory using MOVX,  
Flash write operations must be enabled by doing the following: (1) setting the PSWE Program Store Write  
Enable bit (PSCTL.0) to logic 1 (this directs the MOVX writes to target Flash memory); and (2) Writing the  
Flash key codes in sequence to the Flash Lock register (FLKEY). The PSWE bit remains set until cleared  
by software.  
A write to Flash memory can clear bits to logic 0 but cannot set them; only an erase operation can set bits  
to logic 1 in Flash. A byte location to be programmed should be erased before a new value is written.  
The Flash memory is organized in 512-byte pages. The erase operation applies to an entire page (setting  
all bytes in the page to 0xFF). To erase an entire 512-byte page, perform the following steps:  
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).  
2. Set the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
3. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
4. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
5. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
6. Using the MOVX instruction, write a data byte to any location within the 512-byte page to be erased.  
7. Clear the PSWE and PSEE bits.  
Rev. 1.1

C8051F50x-F51x  
15.1.3. Flash Write Procedure  
Flash bytes are programmed by software with the following sequence:  
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).  
2. Erase the 512-byte Flash page containing the target location, as described in Section 15.1.2.  
3. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
4. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
5. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
6. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
7. Using the MOVX instruction, write a single data byte to the desired location within the 512-byte sector.  
8. Clear the PSWE bit.  
Steps 5–7 must be repeated for each byte to be written. After Flash writes are complete, PSWE should be  
cleared so that MOVX instructions do not target program memory.  
15.1.4. Flash Write Optimization  
The Flash write procedure includes a block write option to optimize the time to perform consecutive byte  
writes. When block write is enabled by setting the CHBLKW bit (CCH0CN.0), writes to two consecutive  
bytes in Flash require the same amount of time as a single byte write. This is performed by caching the first  
byte that is written to Flash and then committing both bytes to Flash when the second byte is written. When  
block writes are enabled, if the second write does not occur, the first data byte written is not actually written  
to Flash. Flash bytes with block write enabled are programmed by software with the following sequence:  
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).  
2. Erase the 512-byte Flash page containing the target location, as described in Section 15.1.2.  
3. Set the CHBLKW bit (register CCH0CN).  
4. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
5. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
6. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
7. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
8. Using the MOVX instruction, write the first data byte to the desired location within the 512-byte sector.  
9. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
10.Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
11.Using the MOVX instruction, write the second data byte to the desired location within the 512-byte  
sector. The location of the second byte must be the next higher address from the first data byte.  
12.Clear the PSWE bit.  
13.Clear the CHBLKW bit.

15.2. Non-volatile Data Storage  
The Flash memory can be used for non-volatile data storage as well as program code. This allows data  
such as calibration coefficients to be calculated and stored at run time. Data is written using the MOVX  
write instruction and read using the MOVC instruction. Note: MOVX read instructions always target XRAM.  
15.3. Security Options  
The CIP-51 provides security options to protect the Flash memory from inadvertent modification by soft-  
ware as well as to prevent the viewing of proprietary program code and constants. The Program Store  
Write Enable (bit PSWE in register PSCTL) and the Program Store Erase Enable (bit PSEE in register  
PSCTL) bits protect the Flash memory from accidental modification by software. PSWE must be explicitly  
set to 1 before software can modify the Flash memory; both PSWE and PSEE must be set to 1 before soft-  
ware can erase Flash memory. Additional security features prevent proprietary program code and data  
constants from being read or altered across the C2 interface.  
A Security Lock Byte located at the last byte of Flash user space offers protection of the Flash program  
memory from access (reads, writes, or erases) by unprotected code or the C2 interface. The Flash security  
mechanism allows the user to lock n 512-byte Flash pages, starting at page 0 (addresses 0x0000 to  
0x01FF), where n is the ones complement number represented by the Security Lock Byte. Note that the  
page containing the Flash Security Lock Byte is unlocked when no other Flash pages are locked  
(all bits of the Lock Byte are 1) and locked when any other Flash pages are locked (any bit of the  
Lock Byte is 0). See example in Figure 15.1.

The level of Flash security depends on the Flash access method. The three Flash access methods that  
can be restricted are reads, writes, and erases from the C2 debug interface, user firmware executing on  
unlocked pages, and user firmware executing on locked pages. Table 15.1 summarizes the Flash security  
features of the C8051F50x-F51x devices.

15.4. Flash Write and Erase Guidelines  
Any system which contains routines which write or erase Flash memory from software involves some risk  
that the write or erase routines will execute unintentionally if the CPU is operating outside its specified  
operating range of VDD, system clock frequency, or temperature. This accidental execution of Flash modi-  
fying code can result in alteration of Flash memory contents causing a system failure that is only recover-  
able by re-Flashing the code in the device.  
The following guidelines are recommended for any system which contains routines which write or erase  
Flash from code.  
15.4.1. V Maintenance and the V monitor  
DD  
DD  
1. If the system power supply is subject to voltage or current "spikes," add sufficient transient protection  
devices to the power supply to ensure that the supply voltages listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings  
table are not exceeded.  
2. The on-chip VDD monitor is turned on and enabled as a reset source by default by the hardware. If it is  
disabled by the firmware, use the following recommendations when re-enabling the VDD monitor. Turn  
on the VDD monitor and enable it as a reset source as early in code as possible. This should be the first  
set of instructions executed after the Reset Vector. For C-based systems, this will involve modifying the  
startup code added by the C compiler. See your compiler documentation for more details. Make certain  
that there are no delays in software between enabling the VDD monitor and enabling the VDD monitor as  
a reset source. Code examples showing this can be found in “AN201: Writing to Flash from Firmware",  
available from the Silicon Laboratories web site.  
3. As an added precaution, explicitly enable the VDD monitor and enable the VDD monitor as a reset  
source inside the functions that write and erase Flash memory. The VDD monitor enable instructions  
should be placed just after the instruction to set PSWE to a 1, but before the Flash write or erase  
operation instruction.  
4. Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC (Reset Sources) register use direct assignment operators  
and explicitly DO NOT use the bit-wise operators (such as AND or OR). For example, "RSTSRC =  
0x02" is correct. "RSTSRC |= 0x02" is incorrect.  
5. Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC register explicitly set the PORSF bit to a 1. Areas to check  
are initialization code which enables other reset sources, such as the Missing Clock Detector or  
Comparator, for example, and instructions which force a Software Reset. A global search on "RSTSRC"  
can quickly verify this.  
15.4.2. PSWE Maintenance  
1. Reduce the number of places in code where the PSWE bit (b0 in PSCTL) is set to a 1. There should be  
exactly one routine in code that sets PSWE to a 1 to write Flash bytes and one routine in code that sets  
PSWE and PSEE both to a 1 to erase Flash pages.  
2. Minimize the number of variable accesses while PSWE is set to a 1. Handle pointer address updates  
and loop variable maintenance outside the "PSWE = 1;... PSWE = 0;" area. Code examples showing  
this can be found in ”AN201: Writing to Flash from Firmware" available from the Silicon Laboratories  
web site.  
3. Disable interrupts prior to setting PSWE to a 1 and leave them disabled until after PSWE has been  
reset to '0'. Any interrupts posted during the Flash write or erase operation will be serviced in priority  
order after the Flash operation has been completed and interrupts have been re-enabled by software.  
4. Make certain that the Flash write and erase pointer variables are not located in XRAM. See your  
compiler documentation for instructions regarding how to explicitly locate variables in different memory  
areas.  
5. Add address bounds checking to the routines that write or erase Flash memory to ensure that a routine  
called with an illegal address does not result in modification of the Flash.  
Rev. 1.1  
133  
C8051F50x-F51x  
15.4.3. System Clock  
1. If operating from an external crystal, be advised that crystal performance is susceptible to electrical  
interference and is sensitive to layout and to changes in temperature. If the system is operating in an  
electrically noisy environment, use the internal oscillator or use an external CMOS clock.  
2. If operating from the external oscillator, switch to the internal oscillator during Flash write or erase  
operations. The external oscillator can continue to run, and the CPU can switch back to the external  
oscillator after the Flash operation has completed.  
Additional Flash recommendations and example code can be found in ”AN201: Writing to Flash from Firm-  
ware" available from the Silicon Laboratories web site.

writes and erases are enabled by writing 0xA5 followed by 0xF1 to the FLKEY regis-  
ter. Flash writes and erases are automatically disabled after the next write or erase is  
complete. If any writes to FLKEY are performed incorrectly, or if a Flash write or erase  
operation is attempted while these operations are disabled, the Flash will be perma-  
nently locked from writes or erasures until the next device reset. If an application  
never writes to Flash, it can intentionally lock the Flash by writing a non-0xA5 value to  
FLKEY from software.

16. Power Management Modes  
The C8051F50x-F51x devices have three software programmable power management modes: Idle, Stop,  
and Suspend. Idle mode and Stop mode are part of the standard 8051 architecture, while Suspend mode  
is an enhanced power-saving mode implemented by the high-speed oscillator peripheral.  
Idle mode halts the CPU while leaving the peripherals and clocks active. In Stop mode, the CPU is halted,  
all interrupts and timers (except the Missing Clock Detector) are inactive, and the internal oscillator is  
stopped (analog peripherals remain in their selected states; the external oscillator is not affected). Sus-  
pend mode is similar to Stop mode in that the internal oscillator and CPU are halted, but the device can  
wake on events such as a Port Match or Comparator low output. Since clocks are running in Idle mode,  
power consumption is dependent upon the system clock frequency and the number of peripherals left in  
active mode before entering Idle. Stop mode and Suspend mode consume the least power because the  
majority of the device is shut down with no clocks active. SFR Definition 16.1 describes the Power Control  
Register (PCON) used to control the C8051F50x-F51x devices’ Stop and Idle power management modes.  
Suspend mode is controlled by the SUSPEND bit in the OSCICN register (SFR Definition 19.2).  
Although the C8051F50x-F51x has Idle, Stop, and Suspend modes available, more control over the device  
power can be achieved by enabling/disabling individual peripherals as needed. Each analog peripheral  
can be disabled when not in use and placed in low power mode. Digital peripherals, such as timers or  
serial buses, draw little power when they are not in use. Turning off oscillators lowers power consumption  
considerably, at the expense of reduced functionality.  
16.1. Idle Mode  
Setting the Idle Mode Select bit (PCON.0) causes the hardware to halt the CPU and enter Idle mode as  
soon as the instruction that sets the bit completes execution. All internal registers and memory maintain  
their original data. All analog and digital peripherals can remain active during Idle mode.  
Idle mode is terminated when an enabled interrupt is asserted or a reset occurs. The assertion of an  
enabled interrupt will cause the Idle Mode Selection bit (PCON.0) to be cleared and the CPU to resume  
operation. The pending interrupt will be serviced and the next instruction to be executed after the return  
from interrupt (RETI) will be the instruction immediately following the one that set the Idle Mode Select bit.  
If Idle mode is terminated by an internal or external reset, the CIP-51 performs a normal reset sequence  
and begins program execution at address 0x0000.  
Note: If the instruction following the write of the IDLE bit is a single-byte instruction and an interrupt occurs  
during the execution phase of the instruction that sets the IDLE bit, the CPU may not wake from Idle mode  
when a future interrupt occurs. Therefore, instructions that set the IDLE bit should be followed by an  
instruction that has two or more opcode bytes, for example:  
// in ‘C’:  
PCON |= 0x01;  
PCON = PCON;  
// set IDLE bit  
// ... followed by a 3-cycle dummy instruction  
; in assembly:  
ORL PCON, #01h  
MOV PCON, PCON  
; set IDLE bit  
; ... followed by a 3-cycle dummy instruction  
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer (WDT) will eventually cause an internal watchdog reset and thereby termi-  
nate the Idle mode. This feature protects the system from an unintended permanent shutdown in the event  
of an inadvertent write to the PCON register. If this behavior is not desired, the WDT may be disabled by  
software prior to entering the Idle mode if the WDT was initially configured to allow this operation. This pro-  
vides the opportunity for additional power savings, allowing the system to remain in the Idle mode indefi-  
nitely, waiting for an external stimulus to wake up the system. Refer to Section “17.6. PCA Watchdog Timer  
Reset” on page 145 for more information on the use and configuration of the WDT.  
138  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
16.2. Stop Mode  
Setting the Stop Mode Select bit (PCON.1) causes the controller core to enter Stop mode as soon as the  
instruction that sets the bit completes execution. In Stop mode the internal oscillator, CPU, and all digital  
peripherals are stopped; the state of the external oscillator circuit is not affected. Each analog peripheral  
(including the external oscillator circuit) may be shut down individually prior to entering Stop Mode. Stop  
mode can only be terminated by an internal or external reset. On reset, the device performs the normal  
reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.  
If enabled, the Missing Clock Detector will cause an internal reset and thereby terminate the Stop mode.  
The Missing Clock Detector should be disabled if the CPU is to be put to in STOP mode for longer than the  
MCD timeout of 100 µs.  
16.3. Suspend Mode  
Setting the SUSPEND bit (OSCICN.5) causes the hardware to halt the CPU and the high-frequency inter-  
nal oscillator, and go into Suspend mode as soon as the instruction that sets the bit completes execution.  
All internal registers and memory maintain their original data. Most digital peripherals are not active in Sus-  
pend mode. The exception to this is the Port Match feature.  
Suspend mode can be terminated by three types of events, a port match (described in Section “20.5. Port  
Match” on page 187), a Comparator low output (if enabled), or a device reset event. When Suspend mode  
is terminated, the device will continue execution on the instruction following the one that set the SUSPEND  
bit. If the wake event was configured to generate an interrupt, the interrupt will be serviced upon waking  
the device. If Suspend mode is terminated by an internal or external reset, the CIP-51 performs a normal  
reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.

17. Reset Sources  
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this  
reset state, the following occur:  
CIP-51 halts program execution  
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values  
External Port pins are forced to a known state  
Interrupts and timers are disabled.  
All SFRs are reset to the predefined values noted in the SFR detailed descriptions. The contents of internal  
data memory are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved. However, since the  
stack pointer SFR is reset, the stack is effectively lost, even though the data on the stack is not altered.  
The Port I/O latches are reset to 0xFF (all logic ones) in open-drain mode. Weak pullups are enabled dur-  
ing and after the reset. For VDD Monitor and power-on resets, the RST pin is driven low until the device  
exits the reset state.  
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to the inter-  
nal oscillator. The Watchdog Timer is enabled with the system clock divided by 12 as its clock source. Pro-  
gram execution begins at location 0x0000.

17.1. Power-On Reset  
During power-up, the device is held in a reset state and the RST pin is driven low until VDD settles above  
VRST. A delay occurs before the device is released from reset; the delay decreases as the VDD ramp time  
increases (VDD ramp time is defined as how fast VDD ramps from 0 V to VRST). Figure 17.2. plots the  
power-on and VDD monitor reset timing.  
On exit from a power-on reset, the PORSF flag (RSTSRC.1) is set by hardware to logic 1. When PORSF is  
set, all of the other reset flags in the RSTSRC Register are indeterminate (PORSF is cleared by all other  
resets). Since all resets cause program execution to begin at the same location (0x0000) software can  
read the PORSF flag to determine if a power-up was the cause of reset. The content of internal data mem-  
ory should be assumed to be undefined after a power-on reset. The VDD monitor is enabled following a  
power-on reset.

17.2. Power-Fail Reset/V Monitor  
DD  
When a power-down transition or power irregularity causes VDD to drop below VRST, the power supply  
monitor will drive the RST pin low and hold the CIP-51 in a reset state (see Figure 17.2). When VDD returns  
to a level above VRST, the CIP-51 will be released from the reset state. Note that even though internal data  
memory contents are not altered by the power-fail reset, it is impossible to determine if VDD dropped below  
the level required for data retention. If the PORSF flag reads 1, the data may no longer be valid. The VDD  
monitor is enabled after power-on resets. Its defined state (enabled/disabled) is not altered by any other  
reset source. For example, if the VDD monitor is disabled by code and a software reset is performed, the  
VDD monitor will still be disabled after the reset. To protect the integrity of Flash contents, the V  
DD  
monitor must be enabled to the higher setting (VDMLVL = 1) and selected as a reset source if soft-  
ware contains routines which erase or write Flash memory. If the V monitor is not enabled and  
DD  
set to the high level, any erase or write performed on Flash memory will cause a Flash Error device  
reset.

Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
Important Note: If the VDD monitor is being turned on from a disabled state, it should be enabled before it  
is selected as a reset source. Selecting the VDD monitor as a reset source before it is enabled and stabi-  
lized may cause a system reset. In some applications, this reset may be undesirable. If this is not desirable  
in the application, a delay should be introduced between enabling the monitor and selecting it as a reset  
source. The procedure for enabling the VDD monitor and configuring it as a reset source from a disabled  
state is as follows:  
1. Enable the VDD monitor (VDMEN bit in VDM0CN = 1).  
2. If necessary, wait for the VDD monitor to stabilize (see Table 5.4 for the VDD Monitor turn-on time).  
Note: This delay should be omitted if software contains routines that erase or write Flash  
memory.  
3. Select the VDD monitor as a reset source (PORSF bit in RSTSRC = 1).  
See Figure 17.2 for VDD monitor timing; note that the power-on-reset delay is not incurred after a VDD  
monitor reset. See Table 5.4 for complete electrical characteristics of the VDD monitor.  
See “Figure 5.1. Minimum VDD Monitor Threshold vs. System Clock Frequency” on page 44 for VDD mon-  
itor threshold level requirements.  
Note: The output of the internal voltage regulator is calibrated by the MCU immediately after any reset event. The  
output of the un-calibrated internal regulator could be below the high threshold setting of the VDD Monitor. If  
this is the case and the VDD Monitor is set to the high threshold setting and if the MCU receives a non-power  
on reset (POR), the MCU will remain in reset until a POR occurs (i.e., VDD Monitor will keep the device in  
reset). A POR will force the VDD Monitor to the low threshold setting which is guaranteed to be below the un-  
calibrated output of the internal regulator. The device will then exit reset and resume normal operation. It is for  
this reason Silicon Labs strongly recommends that the VDD Monitor is always left in the low threshold setting  
(i.e., default value upon POR).  
When programming the Flash in-system, the VDD Monitor must be set to the high threshold setting. For the  
highest system reliability, the time the VDD Monitor is set to the high threshold setting should be minimized  
(e.g. setting the VDD Monitor to the high threshold setting just before the Flash write operation and then  
changing it back to the low threshold setting immediately after the Flash write operation).

may generate a system reset. In systems where this reset would be undesirable, a  
delay should be introduced between enabling the VDD Monitor and selecting it as a  
reset source. See Table 5.4 for the minimum VDD Monitor turn-on time.

17.3. External Reset  
The external RST pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the device into a reset state. Assert-  
ing an active-low signal on the RST pin generates a reset; an external pullup and/or decoupling of the RST  
pin may be necessary to avoid erroneous noise-induced resets. See Table 5.4 for complete RST pin spec-  
ifications. The PINRSF flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an external reset.  
17.4. Missing Clock Detector Reset  
The Missing Clock Detector (MCD) is a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the system clock. If the system  
clock remains high or low for more than the value specified in Table 5.4, “Reset Electrical Characteristics,”  
on page 46, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a MCD reset, the MCDRSF flag (RST-  
SRC.2) will read 1, signifying the MCD as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. Writing a 1 to the  
MCDRSF bit enables the Missing Clock Detector; writing a 0 disables it. The state of the RST pin is unaf-  
fected by this reset.

17.5. Comparator0 Reset  
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5).  
Comparator0 should be enabled and allowed to settle prior to writing to C0RSEF to prevent any turn-on  
chatter on the output from generating an unwanted reset. The Comparator0 reset is active-low: if the non-  
inverting input voltage (on CP0+) is less than the inverting input voltage (on CP0–), the device is put into  
the reset state. After a Comparator0 reset, the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5) will read 1 signifying  
Comparator0 as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this  
reset.  
17.6. PCA Watchdog Timer Reset  
The programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) function of the Programmable Counter Array (PCA) can be  
used to prevent software from running out of control during a system malfunction. The PCA WDT function  
can be enabled or disabled by software as described in Section “27.4. Watchdog Timer Mode” on  
page 297; the WDT is enabled and clocked by SYSCLK/12 following any reset. If a system malfunction  
prevents user software from updating the WDT, a reset is generated and the WDTRSF bit (RSTSRC.5) is  
set to 1. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
17.7. Flash Error Reset  
If a Flash read/write/erase or program read targets an illegal address, a system reset is generated. This  
may occur due to any of the following:  
A Flash write or erase is attempted above user code space. This occurs when PSWE is set to 1 and a  
MOVX write operation targets an address in or above the reserved space.  
A Flash read is attempted above user code space. This occurs when a MOVC operation targets an  
address in or above the reserved space.  
A Program read is attempted above user code space. This occurs when user code attempts to branch  
to an address in or above the reserved space.  
A Flash read, write or erase attempt is restricted due to a Flash security setting (see Section  
“15.3. Security Options” on page 131).  
A Flash read, write, or erase is attempted when the VDD Monitor is not enabled to the high threshold  
and set as a reset source.  
The FERROR bit (RSTSRC.6) is set following a Flash error reset. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by  
this reset.  
17.8. Software Reset  
Software may force a reset by writing a 1 to the SWRSF bit (RSTSRC.4). The SWRSF bit will read 1 fol-  
lowing a software forced reset. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.

18. External Data Memory Interface and On-Chip XRAM  
For C8051F50x-F51x devices, 4 kB of RAM are included on-chip and mapped into the external data mem-  
ory space (XRAM). Additionally, an External Memory Interface (EMIF) is available on the C8051F500/1/4/5  
and C8051F508/9-F510/1 devices, which can be used to access off-chip data memories and memory-  
mapped devices connected to the GPIO ports. The external memory space may be accessed using the  
external move instruction (MOVX) and the data pointer (DPTR), or using the MOVX indirect addressing  
mode using R0 or R1. If the MOVX instruction is used with an 8-bit address operand (such as @R1), then  
the high byte of the 16-bit address is provided by the External Memory Interface Control Register  
(EMI0CN, shown in SFR Definition 18.1).  
Note: The MOVX instruction can also be used for writing to the Flash memory. See Section “15. Flash Memory” on  
page 129 for details. The MOVX instruction accesses XRAM by default.  
18.1. Accessing XRAM  
The XRAM memory space is accessed using the MOVX instruction. The MOVX instruction has two forms,  
both of which use an indirect addressing method. The first method uses the Data Pointer, DPTR, a 16-bit  
register which contains the effective address of the XRAM location to be read from or written to. The sec-  
ond method uses R0 or R1 in combination with the EMI0CN register to generate the effective XRAM  
address. Examples of both of these methods are given below.  
18.1.1. 16-Bit MOVX Example  
The 16-bit form of the MOVX instruction accesses the memory location pointed to by the contents of the  
DPTR register. The following series of instructions reads the value of the byte at address 0x1234 into the  
accumulator A:  
MOV  
MOVX  
DPTR, #1234h  
A, @DPTR  
; load DPTR with 16-bit address to read (0x1234)  
; load contents of 0x1234 into accumulator A  
The above example uses the 16-bit immediate MOV instruction to set the contents of DPTR. Alternately,  
the DPTR can be accessed through the SFR registers DPH, which contains the upper 8-bits of DPTR, and  
DPL, which contains the lower 8-bits of DPTR.  
18.1.2. 8-Bit MOVX Example  
The 8-bit form of the MOVX instruction uses the contents of the EMI0CN SFR to determine the upper 8-bits  
of the effective address to be accessed and the contents of R0 or R1 to determine the lower 8-bits of the  
effective address to be accessed. The following series of instructions read the contents of the byte at  
address 0x1234 into the accumulator A.  
MOV  
MOV  
MOVX  
EMI0CN, #12h  
R0, #34h  
a, @R0  
; load high byte of address into EMI0CN  
; load low byte of address into R0 (or R1)  
; load contents of 0x1234 into accumulator A

C8051F50x-F51x  
18.2. Configuring the External Memory Interface  
Configuring the External Memory Interface consists of five steps:  
1. Configure the Output Modes of the associated port pins as either push-pull or open-drain (push-pull is  
most common), and skip the associated pins in the crossbar.  
2. Configure Port latches to “park” the EMIF pins in a dormant state (usually by setting them to logic 1).  
3. Select Multiplexed mode or Non-multiplexed mode.  
4. Select the memory mode (on-chip only, split mode without bank select, split mode with bank select, or  
off-chip only).  
5. Set up timing to interface with off-chip memory or peripherals.  
Each of these five steps is explained in detail in the following sections. The Port selection, Multiplexed  
mode selection, and Mode bits are located in the EMI0CF register shown in SFR Definition .  
18.3. Port Configuration  
The External Memory Interface appears on Ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 when it is used for off-chip memory access.  
When the EMIF is used, the Crossbar should be configured to skip over the /RD control line (P1.6) and the  
/WR control line (P1.7) using the P1SKIP register. When the EMIF is used in multiplexed mode, the Cross-  
bar should also skip over the ALE control line (P1.5). For more information about configuring the Crossbar,  
see Section “20.6. Special Function Registers for Accessing and Configuring Port I/O” on page 191. The  
EMIF pinout is shown in Table 18.1 on page 149.  
The External Memory Interface claims the associated Port pins for memory operations ONLY during the  
execution of an off-chip MOVX instruction. Once the MOVX instruction has completed, control of the Port  
pins reverts to the Port latches or to the Crossbar settings for those pins. See Section “20. Port Input/Out-  
put” on page 177 for more information about the Crossbar and Port operation and configuration. The Port  
latches should be explicitly configured to “park” the External Memory Interface pins in a dormant  
state, most commonly by setting them to a logic 1.  
During the execution of the MOVX instruction, the External Memory Interface will explicitly disable the driv-  
ers on all Port pins that are acting as Inputs (Data[7:0] during a READ operation, for example). The Output  
mode of the Port pins (whether the pin is configured as Open-Drain or Push-Pull) is unaffected by the  
External Memory Interface operation, and remains controlled by the PnMDOUT registers. In most cases,  
the output modes of all EMIF pins should be configured for push-pull mode.  
The C8051F500/1/4/5 devices support both the multiplexed and non-multiplexed modes and the  
C8051F508/9-F510/1 devices support only multiplexed modes. Accessing off-chip memory is not sup-  
ported by the C8051F502/3/6/7 devices.

18.4. Multiplexed and Non-multiplexed Selection  
The External Memory Interface is capable of acting in a Multiplexed mode or a Non-multiplexed mode,  
depending on the state of the EMD2 (EMI0CF.4) bit.  
18.4.1. Multiplexed Configuration  
In Multiplexed mode, the Data Bus and the lower 8-bits of the Address Bus share the same Port pins:  
AD[7:0]. In this mode, an external latch (74HC373 or equivalent logic gate) is used to hold the lower 8-bits  
of the RAM address. The external latch is controlled by the ALE (Address Latch Enable) signal, which is  
driven by the External Memory Interface logic. An example of a Multiplexed Configuration is shown in  
Figure 18.1.  
In Multiplexed mode, the external MOVX operation can be broken into two phases delineated by the state  
of the ALE signal. During the first phase, ALE is high and the lower 8-bits of the Address Bus are pre-  
sented to AD[7:0]. During this phase, the address latch is configured such that the Q outputs reflect the  
states of the ‘D’ inputs. When ALE falls, signaling the beginning of the second phase, the address latch  
outputs remain fixed and are no longer dependent on the latch inputs. Later in the second phase, the Data  
Bus controls the state of the AD[7:0] port at the time RD or WR is asserted.  
See Section “18.6.2. Multiplexed Mode” on page 161 for more information.

18.5. Memory Mode Selection  
The external data memory space can be configured in one of four modes, shown in Figure 18.3, based on  
the EMIF Mode bits in the EMI0CF register (SFR Definition 18.2). These modes are summarized below.  
More information about the different modes can be found in Section “18.6. Timing” on page 156.

Figure 18.3. EMIF Operating Modes  
18.5.1. Internal XRAM Only  
When bits EMI0CF[3:2] are set to 00, all MOVX instructions will target the internal XRAM space on the  
device. Memory accesses to addresses beyond the populated space will wrap on 4 kB boundaries. As an  
example, the addresses 0x1000 and 0x2000 both evaluate to address 0x0000 in on-chip XRAM space.  
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine the high-byte of the effective address  
and R0 or R1 to determine the low-byte of the effective address.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of the 16-bit DPTR to determine the effective address.  
18.5.2. Split Mode without Bank Select  
When bit EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 01, the XRAM memory map is split into two areas, on-chip space and off-  
chip space.  
Effective addresses below the internal XRAM size boundary will access on-chip XRAM space.  
Effective addresses above the internal XRAM size boundary will access off-chip space.  
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine whether the memory access is on-  
chip or off-chip. However, in the “No Bank Select” mode, an 8-bit MOVX operation will not drive the  
upper 8-bits A[15:8] of the Address Bus during an off-chip access. This allows the user to manipulate  
the upper address bits at will by setting the Port state directly via the port latches. This behavior is in  
contrast with “Split Mode with Bank Select” described below. The lower 8-bits of the Address Bus A[7:0]  
are driven, determined by R0 or R1.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine whether the memory access is on-chip  
or off-chip, and unlike 8-bit MOVX operations, the full 16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven  
during the off-chip transaction.  
Rev. 1.1  
155  
C8051F50x-F51x  
18.5.3. Split Mode with Bank Select  
When EMI0CF[3:2] are set to 10, the XRAM memory map is split into two areas, on-chip space and off-  
chip space.  
Effective addresses below the internal XRAM size boundary will access on-chip XRAM space.  
Effective addresses above the internal XRAM size boundary will access off-chip space.  
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine whether the memory access is on-  
chip or off-chip. The upper 8-bits of the Address Bus A[15:8] are determined by EMI0CN, and the lower  
8-bits of the Address Bus A[7:0] are determined by R0 or R1. All 16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are  
driven in “Bank Select” mode.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine whether the memory access is on-chip  
or off-chip, and the full 16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven during the off-chip transaction.  
18.5.4. External Only  
When EMI0CF[3:2] are set to 11, all MOVX operations are directed to off-chip space. On-chip XRAM is not  
visible to the CPU. This mode is useful for accessing off-chip memory located between 0x0000 and the  
internal XRAM size boundary.  
8-bit MOVX operations ignore the contents of EMI0CN. The upper Address bits A[15:8] are not driven  
(identical behavior to an off-chip access in “Split Mode without Bank Select” described above). This  
allows the user to manipulate the upper address bits at will by setting the Port state directly. The lower  
8-bits of the effective address A[7:0] are determined by the contents of R0 or R1.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine the effective address A[15:0]. The full  
16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven during the off-chip transaction.  
18.6. Timing  
The timing parameters of the External Memory Interface can be configured to enable connection to  
devices having different setup and hold time requirements. The Address Setup time, Address Hold time,  
RD and WR strobe widths, and in multiplexed mode, the width of the ALE pulse are all programmable in  
units of SYSCLK periods through EMI0TC, shown in SFR Definition 18.3, and EMI0CF[1:0].  
The timing for an off-chip MOVX instruction can be calculated by adding 4 SYSCLK cycles to the timing  
parameters defined by the EMI0TC register. Assuming non-multiplexed operation, the minimum execution  
time for an off-chip XRAM operation is 5 SYSCLK cycles (1 SYSCLK for RD or WR pulse + 4 SYSCLKs).  
For multiplexed operations, the Address Latch Enable signal will require a minimum of 2 additional SYS-  
CLK cycles. Therefore, the minimum execution time for an off-chip XRAM operation in multiplexed mode is  
7 SYSCLK cycles (2 for /ALE + 1 for RD or WR + 4). The programmable setup and hold times default to  
the maximum delay settings after a reset. Table 18.3 lists the ac parameters for the External Memory Inter-  
face, and Figure 18.4 through Figure 18.9 show the timing diagrams for the different External Memory  
Interface modes and MOVX operations.

19. Oscillators and Clock Selection  
C8051F50x-F51x devices include a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator, an external oscillator  
drive circuit, and a clock multiplier. The internal oscillator can be enabled/disabled and calibrated using the  
OSCICN, OSCICRS, and OSCIFIN registers, as shown in Figure 19.1. The system clock can be sourced  
by the external oscillator circuit or the internal oscillator. The clock multiplier can produce three possible  
base outputs which can be scaled by a programmable factor of 1, 2/3, 2/4 (or 1/2), 2/5, 2/6 (or 1/3), or 2/7:  
Internal Oscillator x 2, Internal Oscillator x 4, External Oscillator x 2, or External Oscillator x 4.

19.1. System Clock Selection  
The CLKSL[1:0] bits in register CLKSEL select which oscillator source is used as the system clock.  
CLKSL[1:0] must be set to 01b for the system clock to run from the external oscillator; however the exter-  
nal oscillator may still clock certain peripherals (timers, PCA) when the internal oscillator is selected as the  
system clock. The system clock may be switched on-the-fly between the internal oscillator, external oscilla-  
tor, and Clock Multiplier so long as the selected clock source is enabled and has settled.  
The internal oscillator requires little start-up time and may be selected as the system clock immediately fol-  
lowing the register write which enables the oscillator. The external RC and C modes also typically require  
no startup time.  
External crystals and ceramic resonators however, typically require a start-up time before they are settled  
and ready for use. The Crystal Valid Flag (XTLVLD in register OSCXCN) is set to 1 by hardware when the  
external crystal or ceramic resonator is settled. In crystal mode, to avoid reading a false XTLVLD, soft-  
ware should delay at least 1 ms between enabling the external oscillator and checking XTLVLD.

Important Note: If the selected system clock is greater than 25 MHz, please be aware of the following:  
Flash Scale Timing must be configured for the faster system clock. See SFR Definition 15.3 for more  
details.  
VDD and VDDA voltage must be 2 V or higher.  
It is recommended to enable the VDD monitor as a reset source and configure it for the high threshold.  
See SFR Definition 17.1 for details on configuring the VDD monitor. If the VDD monitor is configured to  
the high threshold, the VDD and VDDA voltage must be greater than the VDD monitor high threshold.  
See Table 5.4 for VDD monitor threshold specifications.

19.2. Programmable Internal Oscillator  
All C8051F50x-F51x devices include a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator that defaults as  
the system clock after a system reset. The internal oscillator period can be adjusted via the OSCICRS and  
OSCIFIN registers defined in SFR Definition 19.3 and SFR Definition 19.4. On C8051F50x-F51x devices,  
OSCICRS and OSCIFIN are factory calibrated to obtain a 24 MHz base frequency. Note that the system  
clock may be derived from the programmed internal oscillator divided by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128, as  
defined by the IFCN bits in register OSCICN. The divide value defaults to 128 following a reset.  
19.2.1. Internal Oscillator Suspend Mode  
When software writes a logic 1 to SUSPEND (OSCICN.5), the internal oscillator is suspended. If the sys-  
tem clock is derived from the internal oscillator, the input clock to the peripheral or CIP-51 will be stopped  
until one of the following events occur:  
Port 0 Match Event.  
Port 1 Match Event.  
Comparator 0 enabled and output is logic 0.  
When one of the oscillator awakening events occur, the internal oscillator, CIP-51, and affected peripherals  
resume normal operation, regardless of whether the event also causes an interrupt. The CPU resumes  
execution at the instruction following the write to SUSPEND.

19.3. Clock Multiplier  
The Clock Multiplier generates an output clock which is 4 times the input clock frequency scaled by a pro-  
grammable factor of 1, 2/3, 2/4 (or 1/2), 2/5, 2/6 (or 1/3), or 2/7. The Clock Multiplier’s input can be  
selected from the external oscillator, or the internal or external oscillators divided by 2. This produces three  
possible base outputs which can be scaled by a programmable factor: Internal Oscillator x 2, External  
Oscillator x 2, or External Oscillator x 4. See Section 19.1 on page 165 for details on system clock selec-  
tion.  
The Clock Multiplier is configured via the CLKMUL register (SFR Definition 19.5). The procedure for con-  
figuring and enabling the Clock Multiplier is as follows:  
1. Reset the Multiplier by writing 0x00 to register CLKMUL.  
2. Select the Multiplier input source via the MULSEL bits.  
3. Select the Multiplier output scaling factor via the MULDIV bits  
4. Enable the Multiplier with the MULEN bit (CLKMUL | = 0x80).  
5. Delay for >5 µs.  
6. Initialize the Multiplier with the MULINIT bit (CLKMUL | = 0xC0).  
7. Poll for MULRDY => 1.  
Important Note: When using an external oscillator as the input to the Clock Multiplier, the external source  
must be enabled and stable before the Multiplier is initialized. See “19.4. External Oscillator Drive Circuit”  
on page 172 for details on selecting an external oscillator source.  
The Clock Multiplier allows faster operation of the CIP-51 core and is intended to generate an output fre-  
quency between 25 and 50 MHz. The clock multiplier can also be used with slow input clocks. However, if  
the clock is below the minimum Clock Multiplier input frequency (FCMmin), the generated clock will consist  
of four fast pulses followed by a long delay until the next input clock rising edge. The average frequency of  
the output is equal to 4x the input, but the instantaneous frequency may be faster. See Figure 19.2 below  
for more information.

19.4. External Oscillator Drive Circuit  
The external oscillator circuit may drive an external crystal, ceramic resonator, capacitor, or RC network. A  
CMOS clock may also provide a clock input. For a crystal or ceramic resonator configuration, the crys-  
tal/resonator must be wired across the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins as shown in Option 1 of Figure 19.1. A  
10 Mresistor also must be wired across the XTAL2 and XTAL1 pins for the crystal/resonator configura-  
tion. In RC, capacitor, or CMOS clock configuration, the clock source should be wired to the XTAL2 pin as  
shown in Option 2, 3, or 4 of Figure 19.1. The type of external oscillator must be selected in the OSCXCN  
register, and the frequency control bits (XFCN) must be selected appropriately (see SFR Definition 19.6).  
Important Note on External Oscillator Usage: Port pins must be configured when using the external  
oscillator circuit. When the external oscillator drive circuit is enabled in crystal/resonator mode, Port pins  
P0.2 and P0.3 are used as XTAL1 and XTAL2 respectively. When the external oscillator drive circuit is  
enabled in capacitor, RC, or CMOS clock mode, Port pin P0.3 is used as XTAL2. The Port I/O Crossbar  
should be configured to skip the Port pins used by the oscillator circuit; see Section “20.3. Priority Crossbar  
Decoder” on page 180 for Crossbar configuration. Additionally, when using the external oscillator circuit in  
crystal/resonator, capacitor, or RC mode, the associated Port pins should be configured as analog inputs.  
In CMOS clock mode, the associated pin should be configured as a digital input. See Section “20.4. Port  
I/O Initialization” on page 182 for details on Port input mode selection.

19.4.1. External Crystal Example  
If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be  
configured as shown in Figure 19.1, Option 1. The External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN)  
should be chosen from the Crystal column of the table in SFR Definition 19.6 (OSCXCN register). For  
example, an 11.0592 MHz crystal requires an XFCN setting of 111b and a 32.768 kHz Watch Crystal  
requires an XFCN setting of 001b. After an external 32.768 kHz oscillator is stabilized, the XFCN setting  
can be switched to 000 to save power. It is recommended to enable the missing clock detector before  
switching the system clock to any external oscillator source.  
When the crystal oscillator is first enabled, the oscillator amplitude detection circuit requires a settling time  
to achieve proper bias. Introducing a delay of 1 ms between enabling the oscillator and checking the  
XTLVLD bit will prevent a premature switch to the external oscillator as the system clock. Switching to the  
external oscillator before the crystal oscillator has stabilized can result in unpredictable behavior. The rec-  
ommended procedure is:  
1. Force XTAL1 and XTAL2 to a high state. This involves enabling the Crossbar and writing 1 to the port  
pins associated with XTAL1 and XTAL2.  
2. Configure XTAL1 and XTAL2 as analog inputs using.  
3. Enable the external oscillator.  
4. Wait at least 1 ms.  
5. Poll for XTLVLD => 1.  
6. Enable the Missing Clock Detector.  
7. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.  
Important Note on External Crystals: Crystal oscillator circuits are quite sensitive to PCB layout. The  
crystal should be placed as close as possible to the XTAL pins on the device. The traces should be as  
short as possible and shielded with ground plane from any other traces which could introduce noise or  
interference.  
The capacitors shown in the external crystal configuration provide the load capacitance required by the  
crystal for correct oscillation. These capacitors are "in series" as seen by the crystal and "in parallel" with  
the stray capacitance of the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins.  
Note: The desired load capacitance depends upon the crystal and the manufacturer. Refer to the crystal  
data sheet when completing these calculations.  
For example, a tuning-fork crystal of 32.768 kHz with a recommended load capacitance of 12.5 pF should  
use the configuration shown in Figure 19.1, Option 1. The total value of the capacitors and the stray capac-  
itance of the XTAL pins should equal 25 pF. With a stray capacitance of 3 pF per pin, the 22 pF capacitors  
yield an equivalent capacitance of 12.5 pF across the crystal, as shown in Figure 19.3.

19.4.2. External RC Example  
If an RC network is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be configured as  
shown in Figure 19.1, Option 2. The capacitor should be no greater than 100 pF; however for very small  
capacitors, the total capacitance may be dominated by parasitic capacitance in the PCB layout. To deter-  
mine the required External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, first  
select the RC network value to produce the desired frequency of oscillation, according to Equation , where  
f = the frequency of oscillation in MHz, C = the capacitor value in pF, and R = the pull-up resistor value in  
k.  
f = 1.23 103  R C  
Equation 19.1. RC Mode Oscillator Frequency  
For example: If the frequency desired is 100 kHz, let R = 246 kand C = 50 pF:  
f = 1.23(103)/RC = 1.23(103)/[246 x 50] = 0.1 MHz = 100 kHz  
Referring to the table in SFR Definition 19.6, the required XFCN setting is 010b.  
19.4.3. External Capacitor Example  
If a capacitor is used as an external oscillator for the MCU, the circuit should be configured as shown in  
Figure 19.1, Option 3. The capacitor should be no greater than 100 pF; however for very small capacitors,  
the total capacitance may be dominated by parasitic capacitance in the PCB layout. To determine the  
required External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, select the capaci-  
tor to be used and find the frequency of oscillation according to Equation 19.2, where f = the frequency of  
oscillation in MHz, C = the capacitor value in pF, and VDD = the MCU power supply in Volts.  
Rev. 1.1  
175  
C8051F50x-F51x  
Equation 19.2. C Mode Oscillator Frequency  
f = KF  R VDD  
For example: Assume VDD = 2.1 V and f = 75 kHz:  
f = KF / (C x VDD)  
0.075 MHz = KF / (C x 2.1)  
Since the frequency of roughly 75 kHz is desired, select the K Factor from the table in SFR Definition 19.6  
(OSCXCN) as KF = 7.7:  
0.075 MHz = 7.7 / (C x 2.1)  
C x 2.1 = 7.7 / 0.075 MHz  
C = 102.6 / 2.0 pF = 51.3 pF  
Therefore, the XFCN value to use in this example is 010b.

20. Port Input/Output  
Digital and analog resources are available through 40 (C8051F500/1/4/5), 33 (C8051F508/9-F510/1) or 25  
(C8051F502/3/6/7) I/O pins. Port pins P0.0-P4.7 on the C8051F500/1/4/5, port pins P0.0-P4.0 on  
theC8051F508/9-F510/1, and port pins P0.0-P3.0 on the C8051F502/3/6/7 can be defined as general-pur-  
pose I/O (GPIO), assigned to one of the internal digital resources, or assigned to an analog function as  
shown in Figure 20.3. Port pin P4.0 on the C8051F508/9-F510/1 can be used as GPIO and is shared with  
the C2 Interface Data signal (C2D). Similarly, port pin P3.0 is shared with C2D on the C8051F502/3/6/7.  
The designer has complete control over which functions are assigned, limited only by the number of phys-  
ical I/O pins. This resource assignment flexibility is achieved through the use of a Priority Crossbar  
Decoder. Note that the state of a Port I/O pin can always be read in the corresponding Port latch, regard-  
less of the Crossbar settings.  
The Crossbar assigns the selected internal digital resources to the I/O pins based on the Priority Decoder  
(Figure 20.3 and Figure 20.4). The registers XBR0, XBR1, XBR2 are defined in SFR Definition 20.1 and  
SFR Definition 20.2 and are used to select internal digital functions.  
All Port I/Os are 5 V tolerant (refer to Figure 20.2 for the Port cell circuit). The Port I/O cells are configured  
as either push-pull or open-drain in the Port Output Mode registers (PnMDOUT, where n = 0,1). Complete  
Electrical Specifications for Port I/O are given in Table 5.3 on page 45.

20.1. Port I/O Modes of Operation  
Port pins P0.0–P4.7 use the Port I/O cell shown in Figure 20.2. Each Port I/O cell can be configured by  
software for analog I/O or digital I/O using the PnMDIN registers. On reset, all Port I/O cells default to a  
high impedance state with weak pull-ups enabled until the Crossbar is enabled (XBARE = 1).  
20.1.1. Port Pins Configured for Analog I/O  
Any pins to be used as Comparator or ADC inputs, external oscillator inputs, or VREF should be config-  
ured for analog I/O (PnMDIN.n = 0). When a pin is configured for analog I/O, its weak pullup, digital driver,  
and digital receiver are disabled. Port pins configured for analog I/O will always read back a value of 0.  
Configuring pins as analog I/O saves power and isolates the Port pin from digital interference. Port pins  
configured as digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however, this practice is not recom-  
mended and may result in measurement errors.  
20.1.2. Port Pins Configured For Digital I/O  
Any pins to be used by digital peripherals (UART, SPI, SMBus, etc.), external digital event capture func-  
tions, or as GPIO should be configured as digital I/O (PnMDIN.n = 1). For digital I/O pins, one of two output  
modes (push-pull or open-drain) must be selected using the PnMDOUT registers.  
Push-pull outputs (PnMDOUT.n = 1) drive the Port pad to the VIO or GND supply rails based on the output  
logic value of the Port pin. Open-drain outputs have the high side driver disabled; therefore, they only drive  
the Port pad to GND when the output logic value is 0 and become high impedance inputs (both high low  
drivers turned off) when the output logic value is 1.  
When a digital I/O cell is placed in the high impedance state, a weak pull-up transistor pulls the Port pad to  
the VIO supply voltage to ensure the digital input is at a defined logic state. Weak pull-ups are disabled  
when the I/O cell is driven to GND to minimize power consumption and may be globally disabled by setting  
WEAKPUD to 1. The user should ensure that digital I/O are always internally or externally pulled or driven  
to a valid logic state to minimize power consumption. Port pins configured for digital I/O always read back  
the logic state of the Port pad, regardless of the output logic value of the Port pin.

20.1.3. Interfacing Port I/O in a Multi-Voltage System  
All Port I/O are capable of interfacing to digital logic operating at a supply voltage higher than VDD and  
less than 5.25 V. Connect the VIO pin to the voltage source of the interface logic.  
20.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog and Digital Functions  
Port I/O pins P0.0–P3.7 can be assigned to various analog, digital, and external interrupt functions. P4.0-  
P4.7 can be assigned to only digital functions. The Port pins assigned to analog functions should be con-  
figured for analog I/O, and Port pins assigned to digital or external interrupt functions should be configured  
for digital I/O.  
20.2.1. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog Functions  
Table 20.1 shows all available analog functions that require Port I/O assignments. Port pins selected for  
these analog functions should have their corresponding bit in PnSKIP set to 1. This reserves the pin  
for use by the analog function and does not allow it to be claimed by the Crossbar. Table 20.1 shows the  
potential mapping of Port I/O to each analog function.

20.2.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Digital Functions  
Any Port pins not assigned to analog functions may be assigned to digital functions or used as GPIO. Most  
digital functions rely on the Crossbar for pin assignment; however, some digital functions bypass the  
Crossbar in a manner similar to the analog functions listed above. Port pins used by these digital func-  
tions and any Port pins selected for use as GPIO should have their corresponding bit in PnSKIP set  
to 1. Table 20.2 shows all available digital functions and the potential mapping of Port I/O to each digital  
function.

20.2.3. Assigning Port I/O Pins to External Digital Event Capture Functions  
External digital event capture functions can be used to trigger an interrupt or wake the device from a low  
power mode when a transition occurs on a digital I/O pin. The digital event capture functions do not require  
dedicated pins and will function on both GPIO pins (PnSKIP = 1) and pins in use by the Crossbar (PnSKIP  
= 0). External digital event capture functions cannot be used on pins configured for analog I/O. Table 20.3  
shows all available external digital event capture functions.

20.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder  
The Priority Crossbar Decoder (Figure 20.3) assigns a priority to each I/O function, starting at the top with  
UART0. When a digital resource is selected, the least-significant unassigned Port pin is assigned to that  
resource excluding UART0, which is always assigned to pins P0.4 and P0.5, and excluding CAN0 which is  
always assigned to pins P0.6 and P0.7. If a Port pin is assigned, the Crossbar skips that pin when assign-  
ing the next selected resource. Additionally, the Crossbar will skip Port pins whose associated bits in the  
PnSKIP registers are set. The PnSKIP registers allow software to skip Port pins that are to be used for  
analog input, dedicated functions, or GPIO.  
Because of the nature of Priority Crossbar Decoder, not all peripherals can be located on all port pins.  
Figure 20.3 maps peripherals to the potential port pins on which the peripheral I/O can appear.  
Important Note on Crossbar Configuration: If a Port pin is claimed by a peripheral without use of the  
Crossbar, its corresponding PnSKIP bit should be set. This applies to P0.0 if VREF is used, P0.1 if the  
ADC is configured to use the external conversion start signal (CNVSTR), P0.3 and/or P0.2 if the external  
oscillator circuit is enabled, and any selected ADC or Comparator inputs. The Crossbar skips selected pins  
as if they were already assigned, and moves to the next unassigned pin.

Registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2 are used to assign the digital I/O resources to the physical I/O Port  
pins. Note that when the SMBus is selected, the Crossbar assigns both pins associated with the SMBus  
(SDA and SCL); and similarly when the UART, CAN or LIN are selected, the Crossbar assigns both pins  
associated with the peripheral (TX and RX). UART0 pin assignments are fixed for bootloading purposes:  
UART TX0 is always assigned to P0.4; UART RX0 is always assigned to P0.5. CAN0 pin assignments are  
fixed to P0.6 for CAN_TX and P0.7 for CAN_RX. Standard Port I/Os appear contiguously after the priori-  
tized functions have been assigned.  
Important Note: The SPI can be operated in either 3-wire or 4-wire modes, pending the state of the  
NSSMD1–NSSMD0 bits in register SPI0CN. According to the SPI mode, the NSS signal may or may not  
be routed to a Port pin.  
As an example configuration, if CAN0, SPI0 in 4-wire mode, and PCA0 Modules 0, 1, and 2 are enabled on  
the crossbar with P0.1, P0.2, and P0.5 skipped, the registers should be set as follows: XBR0 = 0x06  
(CAN0 and SPI0 enabled), XBR1 = 0x0C (PCA0 modules 0, 1, and 2 enabled), XBR2 = 0x40 (Crossbar  
enabled), and P0SKIP = 0x26 (P0.1, P0.2, and P0.5 skipped). The resulting crossbar would look as shown  
in Figure 20.4.

Figure 20.4. Crossbar Priority Decoder in Example Configuration  
20.4. Port I/O Initialization  
Port I/O initialization consists of the following steps:  
1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all Port pins, using the Port Input Mode register (PnMDIN).  
2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all Port pins, using the Port Output Mode register  
(PnMDOUT).  
3. Select any pins to be skipped by the I/O Crossbar using the Port Skip registers (PnSKIP).  
4. Assign Port pins to desired peripherals.  
5. Enable the Crossbar (XBARE = 1).  
All Port pins must be configured as either analog or digital inputs. Port 4 on the C8051F500/1/4/5 and  
C8051F508/9-F510/1 is a digital-only Port. Any pins to be used as Comparator or ADC inputs should be  
configured as an analog inputs. When a pin is configured as an analog input, its weak pullup, digital driver,  
and digital receiver are disabled. This process saves power and reduces noise on the analog input. Pins  
configured as digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however this practice is not recom-  
mended.  
Additionally, all analog input pins should be configured to be skipped by the Crossbar (accomplished by  
setting the associated bits in PnSKIP). Port input mode is set in the PnMDIN register, where a 1 indicates a  
182  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
digital input, and a 0 indicates an analog input. All pins default to digital inputs on reset. See SFR Definition  
20.13 for the PnMDIN register details.  
The output driver characteristics of the I/O pins are defined using the Port Output Mode registers (PnMD-  
OUT). Each Port Output driver can be configured as either open drain or push-pull. This selection is  
required even for the digital resources selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only  
exception to this is the SMBus (SDA, SCL) pins, which are configured as open-drain regardless of the  
PnMDOUT settings. When the WEAKPUD bit in XBR2 is 0, a weak pullup is enabled for all Port I/O config-  
ured as open-drain. WEAKPUD does not affect the push-pull Port I/O. Furthermore, the weak pullup is  
turned off on an output that is driving a 0 to avoid unnecessary power dissipation.  
Registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2 must be loaded with the appropriate values to select the digital I/O  
functions required by the design. Setting the XBARE bit in XBR2 to 1 enables the Crossbar. Until the  
Crossbar is enabled, the external pins remain as standard Port I/O (in input mode), regardless of the XBRn  
Register settings. For given XBRn Register settings, one can determine the I/O pin-out using the Priority  
Decode Table; as an alternative, the Configuration Wizard utility of the Silicon Labs IDE software will deter-  
mine the Port I/O pin-assignments based on the XBRn Register settings.  
The Crossbar must be enabled to use Port pins as standard Port I/O in output mode. Port output drivers  
are disabled while the Crossbar is disabled.

20.5. Port Match  
Port match functionality allows system events to be triggered by a logic value change on P0, P1, P2 or P3.  
A software controlled value stored in the PnMATCH registers specifies the expected or normal logic values  
of P0, P1, P2, and P3. A Port mismatch event occurs if the logic levels of the Port’s input pins no longer  
match the software controlled value. This allows Software to be notified if a certain change or pattern  
occurs on P0, P1, P2, or P3 input pins regardless of the XBRn settings.  
The PnMASK registers can be used to individually select which of the port pins should be compared  
against the PnMATCH registers. A Port mismatch event is generated if (Pn & PnMASK) does not equal  
(PnMATCH & PnMASK), where n is 0, 1, 2 or 3  
A Port mismatch event may be used to generate an interrupt or wake the device from a low power mode,  
such as IDLE or SUSPEND. See the Interrupts and Power Options chapters for more details on interrupt  
and wake-up sources.

20.6. Special Function Registers for Accessing and Configuring Port I/O  
All Port I/O are accessed through corresponding special function registers (SFRs) that are both byte  
addressable and bit addressable, except for P4 which is only byte addressable. When writing to a Port, the  
value written to the SFR is latched to maintain the output data value at each pin. When reading, the logic  
levels of the Port's input pins are returned regardless of the XBRn settings (i.e., even when the pin is  
assigned to another signal by the Crossbar, the Port register can always read its corresponding Port I/O  
pin). The exception to this is the execution of the read-modify-write instructions that target a Port Latch reg-  
ister as the destination. The read-modify-write instructions when operating on a Port SFR are the following:  
ANL, ORL, XRL, JBC, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ and MOV, CLR or SETB, when the destination is an individ-  
ual bit in a Port SFR. For these instructions, the value of the latch register (not the pin) is read, modified,  
and written back to the SFR.  
Ports 0–3 have a corresponding PnSKIP register which allows its individual Port pins to be assigned to dig-  
ital functions or skipped by the Crossbar. All Port pins used for analog functions, GPIO, or dedicated digital  
functions such as the EMIF should have their PnSKIP bit set to 1.  
The Port input mode of the I/O pins is defined using the Port Input Mode registers (PnMDIN). Each Port  
cell can be configured for analog or digital I/O. This selection is required even for the digital resources  
selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only exception to this is P4, which can only be  
used for digital I/O.  
The output driver characteristics of the I/O pins are defined using the Port Output Mode registers (PnMD-  
OUT). Each Port Output driver can be configured as either open drain or push-pull. This selection is  
required even for the digital resources selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only  
exception to this is the SMBus (SDA, SCL) pins, which are configured as open-drain regardless of the  
PnMDOUT settings.

21. Local Interconnect Network (LIN)  
Important Note: This chapter assumes an understanding of the Local Interconnect Network (LIN) proto-  
col. For more information about the LIN protocol, including specifications, please refer to the LIN consor-  
tium (http://www.lin-subbus.org).  
LIN is an asynchronous, serial communications interface used primarily in automotive networks. The Sili-  
con Laboratories LIN controller is compliant to the 2.1 Specification, implements a complete hardware LIN  
interface and includes the following features:  
Selectable Master and Slave modes.  
Automatic baud rate option in slave mode.  
The internal oscillator is accurate to within 0.5% of 24 MHz across the entire supply voltage and  
temperature range and so an external oscillator is not necessary for master mode operation.  
Note: The minimum system clock (SYSCLK) required when using the LIN controller is 8 MHz.

The LIN controller has four main components:  
LIN Access Registers—Provide the interface between the MCU core and the LIN controller.  
LIN Data Registers—Where transmitted and received message data bytes are stored.  
LIN Control Registers—Control the functionality of the LIN interface.  
Control State Machine and Bit Streaming Logic—Contains the hardware that serializes messages and  
controls the bus timing of the controller.

21.1. Software Interface with the LIN Controller  
The selection of the mode (Master or Slave) and the automatic baud rate feature are done though the LIN0  
Control Mode (LIN0CF) register. The other LIN registers are accessed indirectly through the two SFRs  
LIN0 Address (LIN0ADR) and LIN0 Data (LIN0DAT). The LIN0ADR register selects which LIN register is  
targeted by reads/writes of the LIN0DAT register. The full list of indirectly-accessible LIN registers is given  
in Table 21.4 on page 210.  
21.2. LIN Interface Setup and Operation  
The hardware based LIN controller allows for the implementation of both Master and Slave nodes with  
minimal firmware overhead and complete control of the interface status while allowing for interrupt and  
polled mode operation.  
The first step to use the controller is to define the basic characteristics of the node:  
Mode—Master or Slave  
Baud Rate—Either defined manually or using the autobaud feature (slave mode only)  
Checksum Type—Select between classic or enhanced checksum, both of which are implemented in hard-  
ware.  
21.2.1. Mode Definition  
Following the LIN specification, the controller implements in hardware both the Slave and Master operating  
modes. The mode is configured using the MODE bit (LIN0CF.6).  
21.2.2. Baud Rate Options: Manual or Autobaud  
The LIN controller can be selected to have its baud rate calculated manually or automatically. A master  
node must always have its baud rate set manually, but slave nodes can choose between a manual or auto-  
matic setup. The configuration is selected using the ABAUD bit (LIN0CF.5).  
Both the manual and automatic baud rate configurations require additional setup. The following sections  
explain the different options available and their relation with the baud rate, along with the steps necessary  
to achieve the required baud rate.  
21.2.3. Baud Rate Calculations: Manual Mode  
The baud rate used by the LIN controller is a function of the System Clock (SYSCLK) and the LIN timing  
registers according to the following equation:  
SYSCLK  
baud_rate = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
prescaler + 1  
2
divider multiplier + 1  
The prescaler, divider and multiplier factors are part of the LIN0DIV and LIN0MUL registers and can  
assume values in the following range:  
Table 21.1. Baud Rate Calculation Variable Ranges  
Factor  
Range  
prescaler  
multiplier  
divider  
0…3  
0…31  
200…511  
Important Note: The minimum system clock (SYSCLK) to operate the LIN controller is 8 MHz.  
202  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
Use the following equations to calculate the values for the variables for the baud-rate equation:  
20000  
multiplier = ----------------------------- 1  
baud_rate  
SYSCLK  
1
ln2  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
prescaler = ln  
-------- 1  
multiplier + 1baud_rate 200  
SYSCLK  
divider = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
prescaler + 1  
2  
multiplier + 1baud_rate  
In all of these equations, the results must be rounded down to the nearest integer.  
The following example shows the steps for calculating the baud rate values for a Master node running at  
24 MHz and communicating at 19200 bits/sec. First, calculate the multiplier:  
20000  
multiplier = ---------------- 1 = 0. 0417 0  
19200  
Next, calculate the prescaler:  
24000000  
1
ln2  
-----------------------------------------------------------  
prescaler = ln  
-------- 1 = 1.644 1  
0 + 119200 200  
Finally, calculate the divider:  
24000000  
divider = ---------------------------------------------------------------------- = 312.5 312  
1 + 1  
2
0 + 119200  
These values lead to the following baud rate:  
24000000  
----------------------------------------------------------------  
2
baud_rate =  
19230.77  
1 + 1  
0 + 1312  
The following code programs the interface in Master mode, using the Enhanced Checksum and enables  
the interface to operate at 19230 bits/sec using a 24 MHz system clock.  
LIN0CF  
LIN0CF |= 0x40;  
= 0x80;  
// Activate the interface  
// Set the node as a Master  
LIN0ADR = 0x0D;  
// Point to the LIN0MUL register  
// Initialize the register (prescaler, multiplier and bit 8 of divider)  
LIN0DAT = ( 0x01 << 6 ) + ( 0x00 << 1 ) + ( ( 0x138 & 0x0100 ) >> 8 );  
LIN0ADR  
LIN0DAT

// Point to the LIN0DIV register  
// Initialize LIN0DIV

21.3. LIN Master Mode Operation  
The master node is responsible for the scheduling of messages and sends the header of each frame con-  
taining the SYNCH BREAK FIELD, SYNCH FIELD, and IDENTIFIER FIELD. The steps to schedule a mes-  
sage transmission or reception are listed below.  
1. Load the 6-bit Identifier into the LIN0ID register.  
2. Load the data length into the LIN0SIZE register. Set the value to the number of data bytes or "1111b" if  
the data length should be decoded from the identifier. Also, set the checksum type, classic or  
enhanced, in the same LIN0SIZE register.  
3. Set the data direction by setting the TXRX bit (LIN0CTRL.5). Set the bit to 1 to perform a master  
transmit operation, or set the bit to 0 to perform a master receive operation.  
4. If performing a master transmit operation, load the data bytes to transmit into the data buffer (LIN0DT1  
to LIN0DT8).  
5. Set the STREQ bit (LIN0CTRL.0) to start the message transfer. The LIN controller will schedule the  
message frame and request an interrupt if the message transfer is successfully completed or if an error  
has occurred.  
This code segment shows the procedure to schedule a message in a transmission operation:  
LIN0ADR  
= 0x08;  
// Point to LIN0CTRL  
LIN0DAT |= 0x20;  
// Select to transmit data  
// Point to LIN0ID  
// Load the ID, in this example 0x11  
// Point to LIN0SIZE  
LIN0ADR  
LIN0DAT  
LIN0ADR  
= 0x0E;  
= 0x11;  
= 0x0B;  
LIN0DAT = ( LIN0DAT & 0xF0 ) | 0x08;  
// Load the size with 8  
LIN0ADR = 0x00;  
for (i=0; i<8; i++)  
{
// Point to Data buffer first byte  
LIN0DAT = i + 0x41;  
LIN0ADR++;  
// Load the buffer with ‘A’, ‘B’, ...  
// Increment the address to the next buffer

The application should perform the following steps when an interrupt is requested.  
1. Check the DONE bit (LIN0ST.0) and the ERROR bit (LIN0ST.2).  
2. If performing a master receive operation and the transfer was successful, read the received data from  
the data buffer.  
Rev. 1.1  
205  
C8051F50x-F51x  
3. If the transfer was not successful, check the error register to determine the kind of error. Further error  
handling has to be done by the application.  
4. Set the RSTINT (LIN0CTRL.3) and RSTERR bits (LIN0CTRL.2) to reset the interrupt request and the  
error flags.  
21.4. LIN Slave Mode Operation  
When the device is configured for slave mode operation, it must wait for a command from a master node.  
Access from the firmware to the data buffer and ID registers of the LIN controller is only possible when a  
data request is pending (DTREQ bit (LIN0ST.4) is 1) and also when the LIN bus is not active (ACTIVE bit  
(LIN0ST.7) is set to 0).  
The LIN controller in slave mode detects the header of the message frame sent by the LIN master. If slave  
synchronization is enabled (autobaud), the slave synchronizes its internal bit time to the master bit time.  
The LIN controller configured for slave mode will generated an interrupt in one of three situations:  
1. After the reception of the IDENTIFIER FIELD  
2. When an error is detected  
3. When the message transfer is completed.  
The application should perform the following steps when an interrupt is detected:  
1. Check the status of the DTREQ bit (LIN0ST.4). This bit is set when the IDENTIFIER FIELD has been  
received.  
2. If DTREQ (LIN0ST.4) is set, read the identifier from LIN0ID and process it. If DTREQ (LIN0ST.4) is not  
set, continue to step 7.  
3. Set the TXRX bit (LIN0CTRL.5) to 1 if the current frame is a transmit operation for the slave and set to  
0 if the current frame is a receive operation for the slave.  
4. Load the data length into LIN0SIZE.  
5. For a slave transmit operation, load the data to transmit into the data buffer.  
6. Set the DTACK bit (LIN0CTRL.4). Continue to step 10.  
7. If DTREQ (LIN0ST.4) is not set, check the DONE bit (LIN0ST.0). The transmission was successful if the  
DONE bit is set.  
8. If the transmission was successful and the current frame was a receive operation for the slave, load the  
received data bytes from the data buffer.  
9. If the transmission was not successful, check LIN0ERR to determine the nature of the error. Further  
error handling has to be done by the application.  
10.Set the RSTINT (LIN0CTRL.3) and RSTERR bits (LIN0CTRL.2) to reset the interrupt request and the  
error flags.  
In addition to these steps, the application should be aware of the following:  
1. If the current frame is a transmit operation for the slave, steps 1 through 5 must be completed during  
the IN-FRAME RESPONSE SPACE. If it is not completed in time, a timeout will be detected by the  
master.  
2. If the current frame is a receive operation for the slave, steps 1 through 5 have to be finished until the  
reception of the first byte after the IDENTIFIER FIELD. Otherwise, the internal receive buffer of the LIN  
controller will be overwritten and a timeout error will be detected in the LIN controller.  
3. The LIN controller does not directly support LIN Version 1.3 Extended Frames. If the application detects  
an unknown identifier (e.g. extended identifier), it has to write a 1 to the STOP bit (LIN0CTRL.7) instead  
of setting the DTACK (LIN0CTRL.4) bit. At that time, steps 2 through 5 can then be skipped. In this  
situation, the LIN controller stops the processing of LIN communication until the next SYNC BREAK is  
received.  
206  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
4. Changing the configuration of the checksum during a transaction will cause the interface to reset and  
the transaction to be lost. To prevent this, the checksum should not be configured while a transaction is  
in progress. The same applies to changes in the LIN interface mode from slave mode to master mode  
and from master mode to slave mode.  
21.5. Sleep Mode and Wake-Up  
To reduce the system’s power consumption, the LIN Protocol Specification defines a Sleep Mode. The  
message used to broadcast a Sleep Mode request must be transmitted by the LIN master application in  
the same way as a normal transmit message. The LIN slave application must decode the Sleep Mode  
Frame from the Identifier and data bytes. After that, it has to put the LIN slave node into the Sleep Mode by  
setting the SLEEP bit (LIN0CTRL.6).  
If the SLEEP bit (LIN0CTRL.6) of the LIN slave application is not set and there is no bus activity for four  
seconds (specified bus idle timeout), the IDLTOUT bit (LIN0ST.6) is set and an interrupt request is gener-  
ated. After that the application may assume that the LIN bus is in Sleep Mode and set the SLEEP bit  
(LIN0CTRL.6).  
Sending a wake-up signal from the master or any slave node terminates the Sleep Mode of the LIN bus. To  
send a wake-up signal, the application has to set the WUPREQ bit (LIN0CTRL.1). After successful trans-  
mission of the wake-up signal, the DONE bit (LIN0ST.0) of the master node is set and an interrupt request  
is generated. The LIN slave does not generate an interrupt request after successful transmission of the  
wake-up signal but it generates an interrupt request if the master does not respond to the wake-up signal  
within 150 milliseconds. In that case, the ERROR bit (LIN0ST.2) and TOUT bit (LIN0ERR.2) are set. The  
application then has to decide whether or not to transmit another wake-up signal.  
All LIN nodes that detect a wake-up signal will set the WAKEUP (LIN0ST.1) and DONE bits (LIN0ST.0) and  
generate an interrupt request. After that, the application has to clear the SLEEP bit (LIN0CTRL.6) in the  
LIN slave.  
21.6. Error Detection and Handling  
The LIN controller generates an interrupt request and stops the processing of the current frame if it detects  
an error. The application has to check the type of error by processing LIN0ERR. After that, it has to reset  
the error register and the ERROR bit (LIN0ST.2) by writing a 1 to the RSTERR bit (LIN0CTRL.2). Starting a  
new message with the LIN controller selected as master or sending a Wakeup signal with the LIN control-  
ler selected as a master or slave is possible only if the ERROR bit (LIN0ST.2) is set to 0.

22. Controller Area Network (CAN0)  
Important Documentation Note: The Bosch CAN Controller is integrated in the C8051F500/2/4/6/8-F510  
devices. This section of the data sheet gives a description of the CAN controller as an overview and offers  
a description of how the Silicon Labs CIP-51 MCU interfaces with the on-chip Bosch CAN controller. In  
order to use the CAN controller, refer to Bosch’s C_CAN User’s Manual as an accompanying manual to  
the Silicon Labs’ data sheet.  
The C8051F500/2/4/6/8-F510 devices feature a Control Area Network (CAN) controller that enables serial  
communication using the CAN protocol. Silicon Labs CAN facilitates communication on a CAN network in  
accordance with the Bosch specification 2.0A (basic CAN) and 2.0B (full CAN). The CAN controller con-  
sists of a CAN Core, Message RAM (separate from the CIP-51 RAM), a message handler state machine,  
and control registers. Silicon Labs CAN is a protocol controller and does not provide physical layer drivers  
(i.e., transceivers). Figure 22.1 shows an example typical configuration on a CAN bus.  
Silicon Labs CAN operates at bit rates of up to 1 Mbit/second, though this can be limited by the physical  
layer chosen to transmit data on the CAN bus. The CAN processor has 32 Message Objects that can be  
configured to transmit or receive data. Incoming data, message objects and their identifier masks are  
stored in the CAN message RAM. All protocol functions for transmission of data and acceptance filtering is  
performed by the CAN controller and not by the CIP-51 MCU. In this way, minimal CPU bandwidth is  
needed to use CAN communication. The CIP-51 configures the CAN controller, accesses received data,  
and passes data for transmission via Special Function Registers (SFRs) in the CIP-51.

22.1. Bosch CAN Controller Operation  
The CAN Controller featured in the C8051F500/2/4/6/8-F510 devices is a full implementation of Bosch’s  
full CAN module and fully complies with CAN specification 2.0B. A block diagram of the CAN controller is  
shown in Figure 22.2. The CAN Core provides shifting (CANTX and CANRX), serial/parallel conversion of  
messages, and other protocol related tasks such as transmission of data and acceptance filtering. The  
message RAM stores 32 message objects which can be received or transmitted on a CAN network. The  
CAN registers and message handler provide an interface for data transfer and notification between the  
CAN controller and the CIP-51.  
The function and use of the CAN Controller is detailed in the Bosch CAN User’s Guide. The User’s Guide  
should be used as a reference to configure and use the CAN controller. This data sheet describes how to  
access the CAN controller.  
All of the CAN controller registers are located on SFR Page 0x0C. Before accessing any of the CAN regis-  
ters, the SFRPAGE register must be set to 0x0C.  
The CAN Controller is typically initialized using the following steps:  
1. Set the SFRPAGE register to the CAN registers page (page 0x0C).  
2. Set the INIT and the CCE bits to 1 in CAN0CN. See the CAN User’s Guide for bit definitions.  
3. Set timing parameters in the Bit Timing Register and the BRP Extension Register.  
4. Initialize each message object or set its MsgVal bit to NOT VALID.  
5. Reset the INIT bit to 0.

22.1.1. CAN Controller Timing  
The CAN controller’s clock (fsys) is derived from the CIP-51 system clock (SYSCLK). The C8051F500/2/4/  
6/8-F510 internal oscillator is accurate to within 0.5% and so an external oscillator is not required for CAN  
communication. Refer to Section “4.10.4 Oscillator Tolerance Range” in the Bosch CAN User’s Guide for  
further information regarding this topic.  
The CAN controller clock must be less than or equal to 25 MHz. If the CIP-51 system clock is above  
25 MHz, the divider in the CAN0CFG register must be set to divide the CAN controller clock down to an  
appropriate speed.

C8051F50x-F51x  
22.1.2. CAN Register Access  
The CAN controller clock divider selected in the CAN0CFG SFR affects how the CAN registers can be  
accessed. If the divider is set to 1, then a CAN SFR can immediately be read after it is written. If the divider  
is set to a value other than 1, then a read of a CAN SFR that has just been written must be delayed by a  
certain number of cycles. This delay can be performed using a NOP or some other instruction that does  
not attempt to read the register. This access limitation applies to read and read-modify-write instructions  
that occur immediately after a write. The full list of affected instructions is ANL, ORL, MOV, XCH, and XRL.  
For example, with the CAN0CFG divider set to 1, the CAN0CN SFR can be accessed as follows:  
MOV CAN0CN, #041  
MOV R7, CAN0CN  
; Enable access to Bit Timing Register  
; Copy CAN0CN to R7  
With the CAN0CFG divider set to /2, the same example code requires an additional NOP:  
MOV CAN0CN, #041  
NOP  
MOV R7, CAN0CN  
; Enable access to Bit Timing Register  
; Wait for write to complete  
; Copy CAN0CN to R7  
The number of delay cycles required is dependent on the divider setting. With a divider of 2, the read must  
wait for 1 system clock cycle. With a divider of 4, the read must wait 3 system clock cycles, and with the  
divider set to 8, the read must wait 7 system clock cycles. The delay only needs to be applied when read-  
ing the same register that was written. The application can write and read other CAN SFRs without any  
delay.

1. The CAN time quantum is the smallest unit of time recognized by the CAN controller. Bit timing parameters  
are specified in integer multiples of the time quantum.  
2. The Baud Rate Prescaler (BRP) is defined as the value of the BRP Extension Register plus 1. The BRP  
extension register has a reset value of 0x0000. The BRP has a reset value of 1.

Each bit transmitted on a CAN network has 4 segments (Sync_Seg, Prop_Seg, Phase_Seg1, and  
Phase_Seg2), as shown in Figure 18.3. The sum of these segments determines the CAN bit time (1/bit  
rate). In this example, the desired bit rate is 1 Mbit/sec; therefore, the desired bit time is 1000 ns.

Sample Point  
Figure 22.3. Four segments of a CAN Bit  
The length of the 4 bit segments must be adjusted so that their sum is as close as possible to the desired  
bit time. Since each segment must be an integer multiple of the time quantum (tq), the closest achievable  
bit time is 24 tq (1000.008 ns), yielding a bit rate of 0.999992 Mbit/sec. The Sync_Seg is a constant 1 tq.  
The Prop_Seg must be greater than or equal to the propagation delay of 400 ns and so the choice is 10 tq  
(416.67 ns).  
The remaining time quanta (13 tq) in the bit time are divided between Phase_Seg1 and Phase_Seg2 as  
shown in. Based on this equation, Phase_Seg1 = 6 tq and Phase_Seg2 = 7 tq.  
Phase_Seg1 + Phase_Seg2 = Bit_Time – (Synch_Seg + Prop_Seg)  
1. If Phase_Seg1 + Phase_Seg2 is even, then Phase_Seg2 = Phase_Seg1. If the sum is odd,  
Phase_Seg2 = Phase_Seg1 + 1.  
2. Phase_Seg2 should be at least 2 tq.  
Equation 22.1. Assigning the Phase Segments  
The Synchronization Jump Width (SJW) timing parameter is defined by. It is used for determining the value  
written to the Bit Timing Register and for determining the required oscillator tolerance. Since we are using  
a quartz crystal as the system clock source, an oscillator tolerance calculation is not needed.  
SJW = minimum (4, Phase_Seg1)  
Equation 22.2. Synchronization Jump Width (SJW)  
The value written to the Bit Timing Register can be calculated using Equation 18.3. The BRP Extension  
register is left at its reset value of 0x0000.  
BRPE = BRP – 1 = BRP Extension Register = 0x0000  
SJWp = SJW – 1 = minimum (4, 6) – 1 = 3  
TSEG1 = Prop_Seg + Phase_Seg1 - 1 = 10 + 6 – 1 = 15  
TSEG2 = Phase_Seg2 – 1 = 6  
Bit Timing Register = (TSEG2 x 0x1000) + (TSEG1 x 0x0100)  
Bit Timing Register = (TSEG2 x 0x1000) + (TSEG1 x 0x0100) + (SJWp x 0x0040) + BRPE = 0x6FC0

22.2. CAN Registers  
CAN registers are classified as follows:  
1. CAN Controller Protocol Registers: CAN control, interrupt, error control, bus status, test modes.  
2. Message Object Interface Registers: Used to configure 32 Message Objects, send and receive data  
to and from Message Objects. The CIP-51 MCU accesses the CAN message RAM via the Message  
Object Interface Registers. Upon writing a message object number to an IF1 or IF2 Command Request  
Register, the contents of the associated Interface Registers (IF1 or IF2) will be transferred to or from the  
message object in CAN RAM.  
3. Message Handler Registers: These read only registers are used to provide information to the CIP-51  
MCU about the message objects (MSGVLD flags, Transmission Request Pending, New Data Flags)  
and Interrupts Pending (which Message Objects have caused an interrupt or status interrupt condition).  
For the registers other than CAN0CFG, refer to the Bosch CAN User’s Guide for information on the func-  
tion and use of the CAN Control Protocol Registers.  
22.2.1. CAN Controller Protocol Registers  
The CAN Control Protocol Registers are used to configure the CAN controller, process interrupts, monitor  
bus status, and place the controller in test modes.  
The registers are: CAN Control Register (CAN0CN), CAN Clock Configuration (CAN0CFG), CAN Status  
Register (CAN0STA), CAN Test Register (CAN0TST), Error Counter Register, Bit Timing Register, and the  
Baud Rate Prescaler (BRP) Extension Register.  
22.2.2. Message Object Interface Registers  
There are two sets of Message Object Interface Registers used to configure the 32 Message Objects that  
transmit and receive data to and from the CAN bus. Message objects can be configured for transmit or  
receive, and are assigned arbitration message identifiers for acceptance filtering by all CAN nodes.  
Message Objects are stored in Message RAM, and are accessed and configured using the Message  
Object Interface Registers.  
22.2.3. Message Handler Registers  
The Message Handler Registers are read only registers. The message handler registers provide interrupt,  
error, transmit/receive requests, and new data information.

22.2.4. CAN Register Assignment  
The standard Bosch CAN registers are mapped to SFR space as shown below and their full definitions are  
available in the CAN User’s Guide. The name shown in the Name column matches what is provided in the  
CAN User's Guide. One additional SFR which is not a standard Bosch CAN register, CAN0CFG, is pro-  
vided to configure the CAN clock. All CAN registers are located on SFR Page 0x0C.

23. SMBus  
The SMBus I/O interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus. The SMBus is compliant with the System  
Management Bus Specification, version 1.1, and compatible with the I2C serial bus. Reads and writes to  
the interface by the system controller are byte oriented with the SMBus interface autonomously controlling  
the serial transfer of the data. Data can be transferred at up to 1/20th of the system clock as a master or  
slave (this can be faster than allowed by the SMBus specification, depending on the system clock used). A  
method of extending the clock-low duration is available to accommodate devices with different speed  
capabilities on the same bus.  
The SMBus interface may operate as a master and/or slave, and may function on a bus with multiple mas-  
ters. The SMBus provides control of SDA (serial data), SCL (serial clock) generation and synchronization,  
arbitration logic, and START/STOP control and generation. A block diagram of the SMBus peripheral and  
the associated SFRs is shown in Figure 23.1.

3. System Management Bus Specification—Version 1.1, SBS Implementers Forum.  
23.2. SMBus Configuration  
Figure 23.2 shows a typical SMBus configuration. The SMBus specification allows any recessive voltage  
between 3.0 V and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage levels. The bi-direc-  
tional SCL (serial clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage  
through a pullup resistor or similar circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-drain or  
open-collector output for both the SCL and SDA lines, so that both are pulled high (recessive state) when  
the bus is free. The maximum number of devices on the bus is limited only by the requirement that the rise  
and fall times on the bus not exceed 300 ns and 1000 ns, respectively.

23.3. SMBus Operation  
Two types of data transfers are possible: data transfers from a master transmitter to an addressed slave  
receiver (WRITE), and data transfers from an addressed slave transmitter to a master receiver (READ).  
The master device initiates both types of data transfers and provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. The  
SMBus interface may operate as a master or a slave, and multiple master devices on the same bus are  
supported. If two or more masters attempt to initiate a data transfer simultaneously, an arbitration scheme  
is employed with a single master always winning the arbitration. It is not necessary to specify one device  
as the Master in a system; any device who transmits a START and a slave address becomes the master  
for the duration of that transfer.  
A typical SMBus transaction consists of a START condition followed by an address byte (Bits7–1: 7-bit  
slave address; Bit0: R/W direction bit), one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Bytes that are  
received (by a master or slave) are acknowledged (ACK) with a low SDA during a high SCL (see  
Figure 23.3). If the receiving device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a NACK (not acknowl-  
edge), which is a high SDA during a high SCL.  
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set  
to logic 1 to indicate a "READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.  
Rev. 1.1  
227  
C8051F50x-F51x  
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The  
master generates the START condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the trans-  
action is a WRITE operation from the master to the slave, the master transmits the data a byte at a time  
waiting for an ACK from the slave at the end of each byte. For READ operations, the slave transmits the  
data waiting for an ACK from the master at the end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the master  
generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction and free the bus. Figure 23.3 illustrates a typical  
SMBus transaction.

23.3.1. Transmitter vs. Receiver  
On the SMBus communications interface, a device is the “transmitter” when it is sending an address or  
data byte to another device on the bus. A device is a “receiver” when an address or data byte is being sent  
to it from another device on the bus. The transmitter controls the SDA line during the address or data byte.  
After each byte of address or data information is sent by the transmitter, the receiver sends an ACK or  
NACK bit during the ACK phase of the transfer, during which time the receiver controls the SDA line.  
23.3.2. Arbitration  
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is free. The bus is free after a STOP condition or after the SCL  
and SDA lines remain high for a specified time (see Section “23.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout” on  
page 229). In the event that two or more devices attempt to begin a transfer at the same time, an arbitra-  
tion scheme is employed to force one master to give up the bus. The master devices continue transmitting  
until one attempts a HIGH while the other transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-drain, the bus will be  
pulled LOW. The master attempting the HIGH will detect a LOW SDA and lose the arbitration. The winning  
master continues its transmission without interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and receives the  
rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration scheme is non-destructive: one device always wins, and  
no data is lost.  
23.3.3. Clock Low Extension  
SMBus provides a clock synchronization mechanism, similar to I2C, which allows devices with different  
speed capabilities to coexist on the bus. A clock-low extension is used during a transfer in order to allow  
slower slave devices to communicate with faster masters. The slave may temporarily hold the SCL line  
LOW to extend the clock low period, effectively decreasing the serial clock frequency.  
23.3.4. SCL Low Timeout  
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore,  
the master cannot force the SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus  
protocol specifies that devices participating in a transfer must detect any clock cycle held low longer than  
25 ms as a “timeout” condition. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the communi-  
cation no later than 10 ms after detecting the timeout condition.  
When the SMBTOE bit in SMB0CF is set, Timer 3 is used to detect SCL low timeouts. Timer 3 is forced to  
reload when SCL is high, and allowed to count when SCL is low. With Timer 3 enabled and configured to  
228  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
overflow after 25 ms (and SMBTOE set), the Timer 3 interrupt service routine can be used to reset (disable  
and re-enable) the SMBus in the event of an SCL low timeout.  
23.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout  
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 µs, the bus  
is designated as free. When the SMBFTE bit in SMB0CF is set, the bus will be considered free if SCL and  
SDA remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (as defined by the timer configured for the  
SMBus clock source). If the SMBus is waiting to generate a Master START, the START will be generated  
following this timeout. Note that a clock source is required for free timeout detection, even in a slave-only  
implementation.  
23.4. Using the SMBus  
The SMBus can operate in both Master and Slave modes. The interface provides timing and shifting con-  
trol for serial transfers; higher level protocol is determined by user software. The SMBus interface provides  
the following application-independent features:  
Byte-wise serial data transfers  
Clock signal generation on SCL (Master Mode only) and SDA data synchronization  
Timeout/bus error recognition, as defined by the SMB0CF configuration register  
START/STOP timing, detection, and generation  
Bus arbitration  
Interrupt generation  
Status information  
SMBus interrupts are generated for each data byte or slave address that is transferred. The point at which  
the interrupt is generated depends on whether the hardware is acting as a data transmitter or receiver.  
When a transmitter (i.e. sending address/data, receiving an ACK), this interrupt is generated after the ACK  
cycle so that software may read the received ACK value; when receiving data (i.e. receiving address/data,  
sending an ACK), this interrupt is generated before the ACK cycle so that software may define the outgo-  
ing ACK value. See Section 23.5 for more details on transmission sequences.  
Interrupts are also generated to indicate the beginning of a transfer when a master (START generated), or  
the end of a transfer when a slave (STOP detected). Software should read the SMB0CN (SMBus Control  
register) to find the cause of the SMBus interrupt. The SMB0CN register is described in Section 23.4.2;  
Table 23.4 provides a quick SMB0CN decoding reference.  
23.4.1. SMBus Configuration Register  
The SMBus Configuration register (SMB0CF) is used to enable the SMBus Master and/or Slave modes,  
select the SMBus clock source, and select the SMBus timing and timeout options. When the ENSMB bit is  
set, the SMBus is enabled for all master and slave events. Slave events may be disabled by setting the  
INH bit. With slave events inhibited, the SMBus interface will still monitor the SCL and SDA pins; however,  
the interface will NACK all received addresses and will not generate any slave interrupts. When the INH bit  
is set, all slave events will be inhibited following the next START (interrupts will continue for the duration of  
the current transfer).

The SMBCS1–0 bits select the SMBus clock source, which is used only when operating as a master or  
when the Free Timeout detection is enabled. When operating as a master, overflows from the selected  
source determine the absolute minimum SCL low and high times as defined in Equation 23.1. Note that the  
selected clock source may be shared by other peripherals so long as the timer is left running at all times.  
For example, Timer 1 overflows may generate the SMBus and UART baud rates simultaneously. Timer  
configuration is covered in Section “26. Timers” on page 265.

Equation 23.1. Minimum SCL High and Low Times  
The selected clock source should be configured to establish the minimum SCL High and Low times as per  
Equation 23.1. When the interface is operating as a master (and SCL is not driven or extended by any  
other devices on the bus), the typical SMBus bit rate is approximated by Equation 23.2.

Equation 23.2. Typical SMBus Bit Rate  
Figure 23.4 shows the typical SCL generation described by Equation 23.2. Notice that THIGH is typically  
twice as large as TLOW. The actual SCL output may vary due to other devices on the bus (SCL may be  
extended low by slower slave devices, or driven low by contending master devices). The bit rate when  
operating as a master will never exceed the limits defined by equation Equation 23.1.

Setting the EXTHOLD bit extends the minimum setup and hold times for the SDA line. The minimum SDA  
setup time defines the absolute minimum time that SDA is stable before SCL transitions from low-to-high.  
The minimum SDA hold time defines the absolute minimum time that the current SDA value remains stable  
after SCL transitions from high-to-low. EXTHOLD should be set so that the minimum setup and hold times  
meet the SMBus Specification requirements of 250 ns and 300 ns, respectively. Table 23.2 shows the min-  
imum setup and hold times for the two EXTHOLD settings. Setup and hold time extensions are typically  
necessary when SYSCLK is above 10 MHz.

that defines the outgoing ACK value, s/w delay is zero.  
With the SMBTOE bit set, Timer 3 should be configured to overflow after 25 ms in order to detect SCL low  
timeouts (see Section “23.3.4. SCL Low Timeout” on page 228). The SMBus interface will force Timer 3 to  
reload while SCL is high, and allow Timer 3 to count when SCL is low. The Timer 3 interrupt service routine  
should be used to reset SMBus communication by disabling and re-enabling the SMBus.  
SMBus Free Timeout detection can be enabled by setting the SMBFTE bit. When this bit is set, the bus will  
be considered free if SDA and SCL remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (see  
Figure 23.4).

23.4.2. SMB0CN Control Register  
SMB0CN is used to control the interface and to provide status information (see SFR Definition 23.2). The  
higher four bits of SMB0CN (MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO) form a status vector that can be used to  
jump to service routines. MASTER indicates whether a device is the master or slave during the current  
transfer. TXMODE indicates whether the device is transmitting or receiving data for the current byte.  
STA and STO indicate that a START and/or STOP has been detected or generated since the last SMBus  
interrupt. STA and STO are also used to generate START and STOP conditions when operating as a mas-  
ter. Writing a 1 to STA will cause the SMBus interface to enter Master Mode and generate a START when  
the bus becomes free (STA is not cleared by hardware after the START is generated). Writing a 1 to STO  
while in Master Mode will cause the interface to generate a STOP and end the current transfer after the  
next ACK cycle. If STO and STA are both set (while in Master Mode), a STOP followed by a START will be  
generated.  
As a receiver, writing the ACK bit defines the outgoing ACK value; as a transmitter, reading the ACK bit  
indicates the value received during the last ACK cycle. ACKRQ is set each time a byte is received, indicat-  
ing that an outgoing ACK value is needed. When ACKRQ is set, software should write the desired outgoing  
value to the ACK bit before clearing SI. A NACK will be generated if software does not write the ACK bit  
before clearing SI. SDA will reflect the defined ACK value immediately following a write to the ACK bit;  
however SCL will remain low until SI is cleared. If a received slave address is not acknowledged, further  
slave events will be ignored until the next START is detected.  
The ARBLOST bit indicates that the interface has lost an arbitration. This may occur anytime the interface  
is transmitting (master or slave). A lost arbitration while operating as a slave indicates a bus error condi-  
tion. ARBLOST is cleared by hardware each time SI is cleared.  
The SI bit (SMBus Interrupt Flag) is set at the beginning and end of each transfer, after each byte frame, or  
when an arbitration is lost; see Table 23.3 for more details.  
Important Note About the SI Bit: The SMBus interface is stalled while SI is set; thus SCL is held low, and  
the bus is stalled until software clears SI.

23.4.3. Data Register  
The SMBus Data register SMB0DAT holds a byte of serial data to be transmitted or one that has just been  
received. Software may safely read or write to the data register when the SI flag is set. Software should not  
attempt to access the SMB0DAT register when the SMBus is enabled and the SI flag is cleared to logic 0,  
as the interface may be in the process of shifting a byte of data into or out of the register.  
Data in SMB0DAT is always shifted out MSB first. After a byte has been received, the first bit of received  
data is located at the MSB of SMB0DAT. While data is being shifted out, data on the bus is simultaneously  
being shifted in. SMB0DAT always contains the last data byte present on the bus. In the event of lost arbi-  
tration, the transition from master transmitter to slave receiver is made with the correct data or address in  
SMB0DAT.

Function  
The SMB0DAT register contains a byte of data to be transmitted on the SMBus  
serial interface or a byte that has just been received on the SMBus serial interface.  
The CPU can read from or write to this register whenever the SI serial interrupt flag  
(SMB0CN.0) is set to logic 1. The serial data in the register remains stable as long  
as the SI flag is set. When the SI flag is not set, the system may be in the process  
of shifting data in/out and the CPU should not attempt to access this register.  
23.5. SMBus Transfer Modes  
The SMBus interface may be configured to operate as master and/or slave. At any particular time, it will be  
operating in one of the following four modes: Master Transmitter, Master Receiver, Slave Transmitter, or  
Slave Receiver. The SMBus interface enters Master Mode any time a START is generated, and remains in  
Master Mode until it loses an arbitration or generates a STOP. An SMBus interrupt is generated at the end  
of all SMBus byte frames. As a receiver, the interrupt for an ACK occurs before the ACK. As a transmitter,  
interrupts occur after the ACK.

Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
23.5.1. Write Sequence (Master)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The master in this transfer will be  
a transmitter during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. The SMBus interface gener-  
ates the START condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and the  
data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 (WRITE). The master then trans-  
mits one or more bytes of serial data. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is generated by  
the slave. The transfer is ended when the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. Note that the interface  
will switch to Master Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not written following a Master Transmitter interrupt.  
Figure 23.5 shows a typical master write sequence. Two transmit data bytes are shown, though any num-  
ber of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that all of the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur after the ACK  
cycle in this mode.

23.5.2. Read Sequence (Master)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The master in this transfer will  
be a transmitter during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. The SMBus interface gener-  
ates the START condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and the  
data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 (READ). Serial data is then  
received from the slave on SDA while the SMBus outputs the serial clock. The slave transmits one or more  
bytes of serial data. An interrupt is generated after each received byte.  
Software must write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte. Writing a 1 to the ACK bit  
generates an ACK; writing a 0 generates a NACK. Software should write a 0 to the ACK bit for the last data  
transfer, to transmit a NACK. The interface exits Master Receiver Mode after the STO bit is set and a  
STOP is generated. The interface will switch to Master Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an  
active Master Receiver. Figure 23.6 shows a typical master read sequence. Two received data bytes are  
shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice that the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts  
occur before the ACK cycle in this mode.

23.5.3. Write Sequence (Slave)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be  
a receiver during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled  
(INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode when a START followed by a slave address and direc-  
tion bit (WRITE in this case) is received. Upon entering Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated  
and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software must respond to the received slave address with an ACK, or ignore  
the received slave address with a NACK.  
If the received slave address is ignored, slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next START is detected.  
If the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are received. Software must write  
the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.  
The interface exits Slave Receiver Mode after receiving a STOP. Note that the interface will switch to Slave  
Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an active Slave Receiver. Figure 23.7 shows a typical slave  
write sequence. Two received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice  
that the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur before the ACK in this mode.

23.5.4. Read Sequence (Slave)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The slave in this transfer will  
be a receiver during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. When slave events are  
enabled (INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode (to receive the slave address) when a START  
followed by a slave address and direction bit (READ in this case) is received. Upon entering Slave  
Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software must respond to the  
received slave address with an ACK, or ignore the received slave address with a NACK. The interrupt will  
occur after the ACK cycle.  
If the received slave address is ignored, slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next START is detected.  
If the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are transmitted. If the received  
slave address is acknowledged, data should be written to SMB0DAT to be transmitted. The interface  
enters Slave Transmitter Mode, and transmits one or more bytes of data. After each byte is transmitted, the  
master sends an acknowledge bit; if the acknowledge bit is an ACK, SMB0DAT should be written with the  
next data byte. If the acknowledge bit is a NACK, SMB0DAT should not be written to before SI is cleared  
(Note: an error condition may be generated if SMB0DAT is written following a received NACK while in  
Slave Transmitter Mode). The interface exits Slave Transmitter Mode after receiving a STOP. Note that the  
interface will switch to Slave Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not written following a Slave Transmitter inter-  
rupt. Figure 23.8 shows a typical slave read sequence. Two transmitted data bytes are shown, though any  
number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that all of the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur after the  
ACK cycle in this mode.

The current SMBus status can be easily decoded using the SMB0CN register. In the tables, STATUS   
VECTOR refers to the four upper bits of SMB0CN: MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO. The shown  
response options are only the typical responses; application-specific procedures are allowed as long as  
they conform to the SMBus specification. Highlighted responses are allowed by hardware but do not con-  
form to the SMBus specification.

24. UART0  
UART0 is an asynchronous, full duplex serial port offering a variety of data formatting options. A dedicated  
baud rate generator with a 16-bit timer and selectable prescaler is included, which can generate a wide  
range of baud rates (details in Section “24.1. Baud Rate Generator” on page 243). A received data FIFO  
allows UART0 to receive up to three data bytes before data is lost and an overflow occurs.  
UART0 has six associated SFRs. Three are used for the Baud Rate Generator (SBCON0, SBRLH0, and  
SBRLL0), two are used for data formatting, control, and status functions (SCON0, SMOD0), and one is  
used to send and receive data (SBUF0). The single SBUF0 location provides access to both transmit and  
receive registers. Writes to SBUF0 always access the Transmit register. Reads of SBUF0 always  
access the buffered Receive register; it is not possible to read data from the Transmit register.  
With UART0 interrupts enabled, an interrupt is generated each time a transmit is completed (TI0 is set in  
SCON0), or a data byte has been received (RI0 is set in SCON0). The UART0 interrupt flags are not  
cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine. They must be cleared manually  
by software, allowing software to determine the cause of the UART0 interrupt (transmit complete or receive  
complete). If additional bytes are available in the Receive FIFO, the RI0 bit cannot be cleared by software.

24.1. Baud Rate Generator  
The UART0 baud rate is generated by a dedicated 16-bit timer which runs from the controller’s core clock  
(SYSCLK) and has prescaler options of 1, 4, 12, or 48. The timer and prescaler options combined allow for  
a wide selection of baud rates over many clock frequencies.  
The baud rate generator is configured using three registers: SBCON0, SBRLH0, and SBRLL0. The  
UART0 Baud Rate Generator Control Register (SBCON0, SFR Definition 24.4) enables or disables the  
baud rate generator, selects the clock source for the baud rate generator, and selects the prescaler value  
for the timer. The baud rate generator must be enabled for UART0 to function. Registers SBRLH0 and  
SBRLL0 contain a 16-bit reload value for the dedicated 16-bit timer. The internal timer counts up from the  
reload value on every clock tick. On timer overflows (0xFFFF to 0x0000), the timer is reloaded. The baud  
rate for UART0 is defined in Equation 24.1, where “BRG Clock” is the baud rate generator’s selected clock  
source. For reliable UART operation, it is recommended that the UART baud rate is not configured for  
baud rates faster than SYSCLK/16.

24.2. Data Format  
UART0 has a number of available options for data formatting. Data transfers begin with a start bit (logic  
low), followed by the data bits (sent LSB-first), a parity or extra bit (if selected), and end with one or two  
stop bits (logic high). The data length is variable between 5 and 8 bits. A parity bit can be appended to the  
data, and automatically generated and detected by hardware for even, odd, mark, or space parity. The stop  
bit length is selectable between 1 and 2 bit times, and a multi-processor communication mode is available  
for implementing networked UART buses. All of the data formatting options can be configured using the  
SMOD0 register, shown in SFR Definition 24.2. Figure 24.2 shows the timing for a UART0 transaction  
without parity or an extra bit enabled. Figure 24.3 shows the timing for a UART0 transaction with parity  
enabled (PE0 = 1). Figure 24.4 is an example of a UART0 transaction when the extra bit is enabled  
(XBE0 = 1). Note that the extra bit feature is not available when parity is enabled, and the second stop bit  
is only an option for data lengths of 6, 7, or 8 bits.

24.3. Configuration and Operation  
UART0 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication. It can operate in a point-to-point  
serial communications application, or as a node on a multi-processor serial interface. To operate in a point-  
to-point application, where there are only two devices on the serial bus, the MCE0 bit in SMOD0 should be  
cleared to 0. For operation as part of a multi-processor communications bus, the MCE0 and XBE0 bits  
should both be set to 1. In both types of applications, data is transmitted from the microcontroller on the  
TX0 pin, and received on the RX0 pin. The TX0 and RX0 pins are configured using the crossbar and the  
Port I/O registers, as detailed in Section “20. Port Input/Output” on page 177.  
In typical UART communications, The transmit (TX) output of one device is connected to the receive (RX)  
input of the other device, either directly or through a bus transceiver, as shown in Figure 24.5.

24.3.1. Data Transmission  
Data transmission begins when software writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit Inter-  
rupt Flag (SCON0.1) will be set at the end of any transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). If  
enabled, an interrupt will occur when TI0 is set.  
If the extra bit function is enabled (XBE0 = 1) and the parity function is disabled (PE0 = 0), the value of the  
TBX0 (SCON0.3) bit will be sent in the extra bit position. When the parity function is enabled (PE0 = 1),  
hardware will generate the parity bit according to the selected parity type (selected with S0PT[1:0]), and  
append it to the data field. Note: when parity is enabled, the extra bit function is not available.  
24.3.2. Data Reception  
Data reception can begin any time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to logic 1. After the  
stop bit is received, the data byte will be stored in the receive FIFO if the following conditions are met: the  
receive FIFO (3 bytes deep) must not be full, and the stop bit(s) must be logic 1. In the event that the  
receive FIFO is full, the incoming byte will be lost, and a Receive FIFO Overrun Error will be generated  
(OVR0 in register SCON0 will be set to logic 1). If the stop bit(s) were logic 0, the incoming data will not be  
stored in the receive FIFO. If the reception conditions are met, the data is stored in the receive FIFO, and  
the RI0 flag will be set. Note: when MCE0 = 1, RI0 will only be set if the extra bit was equal to 1. Data can  
be read from the receive FIFO by reading the SBUF0 register. The SBUF0 register represents the oldest  
byte in the FIFO. After SBUF0 is read, the next byte in the FIFO is immediately loaded into SBUF0, and  
space is made available in the FIFO for another incoming byte. If enabled, an interrupt will occur when RI0  
is set.RI0 can only be cleared to 0 by software when there is no more information in the FIFO. The recom-  
mended procedure to empty the FIFO contents is:  
1. Clear RI0 to 0.  
2. Read SBUF0.  
3. Check RI0, and repeat starting at step 1 if RI0 is set to 1.  
246  
Rev. 1.1  
C8051F50x-F51x  
If the extra bit function is enabled (XBE0 = 1) and the parity function is disabled (PE0 = 0), the extra bit for  
the oldest byte in the FIFO can be read from the RBX0 bit (SCON0.2). If the extra bit function is not  
enabled, the value of the stop bit for the oldest FIFO byte will be presented in RBX0. When the parity func-  
tion is enabled (PE0 = 1), hardware will check the received parity bit against the selected parity type  
(selected with S0PT[1:0]) when receiving data. If a byte with parity error is received, the PERR0 flag will be  
set to 1. This flag must be cleared by software. Note: when parity is enabled, the extra bit function is not  
available.  
24.3.3. Multiprocessor Communications  
UART0 supports multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave pro-  
cessors by special use of the extra data bit. When a master processor wants to transmit to one or more  
slaves, it first sends an address byte to select the target(s). An address byte differs from a data byte in that  
its extra bit is logic 1; in a data byte, the extra bit is always set to logic 0.  
Setting the MCE0 bit (SMOD0.7) of a slave processor configures its UART such that when a stop bit is  
received, the UART will generate an interrupt only if the extra bit is logic 1 (RBX0 = 1) signifying an  
address byte has been received. In the UART interrupt handler, software will compare the received  
address with the slave's own assigned address. If the addresses match, the slave will clear its MCE0 bit to  
enable interrupts on the reception of the following data byte(s). Slaves that weren't addressed leave their  
MCE0 bits set and do not generate interrupts on the reception of the following data bytes, thereby ignoring  
the data. Once the entire message is received, the addressed slave resets its MCE0 bit to ignore all trans-  
missions until it receives the next address byte.  
Multiple addresses can be assigned to a single slave and/or a single address can be assigned to multiple  
slaves, thereby enabling "broadcast" transmissions to more than one slave simultaneously. The master  
processor can be configured to receive all transmissions or a protocol can be implemented such that the  
master/slave role is temporarily reversed to enable half-duplex transmission between the original master  
and slave(s).

25. Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)  
The Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0) provides access to a flexible, full-duplex synchronous  
serial bus. SPI0 can operate as a master or slave device in both 3-wire or 4-wire modes, and supports mul-  
tiple masters and slaves on a single SPI bus. The slave-select (NSS) signal can be configured as an input  
to select SPI0 in slave mode, or to disable Master Mode operation in a multi-master environment, avoiding  
contention on the SPI bus when more than one master attempts simultaneous data transfers. NSS can  
also be configured as a chip-select output in master mode, or disabled for 3-wire operation. Additional gen-  
eral purpose port I/O pins can be used to select multiple slave devices in master mode.

25.1. Signal Descriptions  
The four signals used by SPI0 (MOSI, MISO, SCK, NSS) are described below.  
25.1.1. Master Out, Slave In (MOSI)  
The master-out, slave-in (MOSI) signal is an output from a master device and an input to slave devices. It  
is used to serially transfer data from the master to the slave. This signal is an output when SPI0 is operat-  
ing as a master and an input when SPI0 is operating as a slave. Data is transferred most-significant bit  
first. When configured as a master, MOSI is driven by the MSB of the shift register in both 3- and 4-wire  
mode.  
25.1.2. Master In, Slave Out (MISO)  
The master-in, slave-out (MISO) signal is an output from a slave device and an input to the master device.  
It is used to serially transfer data from the slave to the master. This signal is an input when SPI0 is operat-  
ing as a master and an output when SPI0 is operating as a slave. Data is transferred most-significant bit  
first. The MISO pin is placed in a high-impedance state when the SPI module is disabled and when the SPI  
operates in 4-wire mode as a slave that is not selected. When acting as a slave in 3-wire mode, MISO is  
always driven by the MSB of the shift register.  
25.1.3. Serial Clock (SCK)  
The serial clock (SCK) signal is an output from the master device and an input to slave devices. It is used  
to synchronize the transfer of data between the master and slave on the MOSI and MISO lines. SPI0 gen-  
erates this signal when operating as a master. The SCK signal is ignored by a SPI slave when the slave is  
not selected (NSS = 1) in 4-wire slave mode.  
25.1.4. Slave Select (NSS)  
The function of the slave-select (NSS) signal is dependent on the setting of the NSSMD1 and NSSMD0  
bits in the SPI0CN register. There are three possible modes that can be selected with these bits:  
1. NSSMD[1:0] = 00: 3-Wire Master or 3-Wire Slave Mode: SPI0 operates in 3-wire mode, and NSS is  
disabled. When operating as a slave device, SPI0 is always selected in 3-wire mode. Since no select  
signal is present, SPI0 must be the only slave on the bus in 3-wire mode. This is intended for point-to-  
point communication between a master and one slave.  
2. NSSMD[1:0] = 01: 4-Wire Slave or Multi-Master Mode: SPI0 operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is  
enabled as an input. When operating as a slave, NSS selects the SPI0 device. When operating as a  
master, a 1-to-0 transition of the NSS signal disables the master function of SPI0 so that multiple  
master devices can be used on the same SPI bus.  
3. NSSMD[1:0] = 1x: 4-Wire Master Mode: SPI0 operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is enabled as an  
output. The setting of NSSMD0 determines what logic level the NSS pin will output. This configuration  
should only be used when operating SPI0 as a master device.  
See Figure 25.2, Figure 25.3, and Figure 25.4 for typical connection diagrams of the various operational  
modes. Note that the setting of NSSMD bits affects the pinout of the device. When in 3-wire master or  
3-wire slave mode, the NSS pin will not be mapped by the crossbar. In all other modes, the NSS signal will  
be mapped to a pin on the device. See Section “20. Port Input/Output” on page 177 for general purpose  
port I/O and crossbar information.

25.2. SPI0 Master Mode Operation  
A SPI master device initiates all data transfers on a SPI bus. SPI0 is placed in master mode by setting the  
Master Enable flag (MSTEN, SPI0CN.6). Writing a byte of data to the SPI0 data register (SPI0DAT) when  
in master mode writes to the transmit buffer. If the SPI shift register is empty, the byte in the transmit buffer  
is moved to the shift register, and a data transfer begins. The SPI0 master immediately shifts out the data  
serially on the MOSI line while providing the serial clock on SCK. The SPIF (SPI0CN.7) flag is set to logic  
1 at the end of the transfer. If interrupts are enabled, an interrupt request is generated when the SPIF flag  
is set. While the SPI0 master transfers data to a slave on the MOSI line, the addressed SPI slave device  
simultaneously transfers the contents of its shift register to the SPI master on the MISO line in a full-duplex  
operation. Therefore, the SPIF flag serves as both a transmit-complete and receive-data-ready flag. The  
data byte received from the slave is transferred MSB-first into the master's shift register. When a byte is  
fully shifted into the register, it is moved to the receive buffer where it can be read by the processor by  
reading SPI0DAT.  
When configured as a master, SPI0 can operate in one of three different modes: multi-master mode, 3-wire  
single-master mode, and 4-wire single-master mode. The default, multi-master mode is active when  
NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 1. In this mode, NSS is an input to the device, and  
is used to disable the master SPI0 when another master is accessing the bus. When NSS is pulled low in  
this mode, MSTEN (SPI0CN.6) and SPIEN (SPI0CN.0) are set to 0 to disable the SPI master device, and  
a Mode Fault is generated (MODF, SPI0CN.5 = 1). Mode Fault will generate an interrupt if enabled. SPI0  
must be manually re-enabled in software under these circumstances. In multi-master systems, devices will  
typically default to being slave devices while they are not acting as the system master device. In multi-mas-  
ter mode, slave devices can be addressed individually (if needed) using general-purpose I/O pins.  
Figure 25.2 shows a connection diagram between two master devices in multiple-master mode.  
3-wire single-master mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 0. In this  
mode, NSS is not used, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Any slave devices  
that must be addressed in this mode should be selected using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 25.3  
shows a connection diagram between a master device in 3-wire master mode and a slave device.  
4-wire single-master mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 1. In this mode, NSS is configured as an  
output pin, and can be used as a slave-select signal for a single SPI device. In this mode, the output value  
of NSS is controlled (in software) with the bit NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2). Additional slave devices can be  
addressed using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 25.4 shows a connection diagram for a master device in  
4-wire master mode and two slave devices.

25.3. SPI0 Slave Mode Operation  
When SPI0 is enabled and not configured as a master, it will operate as a SPI slave. As a slave, bytes are  
shifted in through the MOSI pin and out through the MISO pin by a master device controlling the SCK sig-  
nal. A bit counter in the SPI0 logic counts SCK edges. When 8 bits have been shifted through the shift reg-  
ister, the SPIF flag is set to logic 1, and the byte is copied into the receive buffer. Data is read from the  
receive buffer by reading SPI0DAT. A slave device cannot initiate transfers. Data to be transferred to the  
master device is pre-loaded into the shift register by writing to SPI0DAT. Writes to SPI0DAT are double-  
buffered, and are placed in the transmit buffer first. If the shift register is empty, the contents of the transmit  
buffer will immediately be transferred into the shift register. When the shift register already contains data,  
the SPI will load the shift register with the transmit buffer’s contents after the last SCK edge of the next (or  
current) SPI transfer.  
When configured as a slave, SPI0 can be configured for 4-wire or 3-wire operation. The default, 4-wire  
slave mode, is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 1. In 4-wire mode, the  
NSS signal is routed to a port pin and configured as a digital input. SPI0 is enabled when NSS is logic 0,  
and disabled when NSS is logic 1. The bit counter is reset on a falling edge of NSS. Note that the NSS sig-  
nal must be driven low at least 2 system clocks before the first active edge of SCK for each byte transfer.  
Figure 25.4 shows a connection diagram between two slave devices in 4-wire slave mode and a master  
device.  
3-wire slave mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 0. NSS is not  
used in this mode, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Since there is no way of  
uniquely addressing the device in 3-wire slave mode, SPI0 must be the only slave device present on the  
bus. It is important to note that in 3-wire slave mode there is no external means of resetting the bit counter  
that determines when a full byte has been received. The bit counter can only be reset by disabling and re-  
enabling SPI0 with the SPIEN bit. Figure 25.3 shows a connection diagram between a slave device in 3-  
wire slave mode and a master device.  
25.4. SPI0 Interrupt Sources  
When SPI0 interrupts are enabled, the following four flags will generate an interrupt when they are set to  
logic 1:  
All of the following bits must be cleared by software.  
1. The SPI Interrupt Flag, SPIF (SPI0CN.7) is set to logic 1 at the end of each byte transfer. This flag can  
occur in all SPI0 modes.  
2. The Write Collision Flag, WCOL (SPI0CN.6) is set to logic 1 if a write to SPI0DAT is attempted when  
the transmit buffer has not been emptied to the SPI shift register. When this occurs, the write to  
SPI0DAT will be ignored, and the transmit buffer will not be written.This flag can occur in all SPI0  
modes.  
3. The Mode Fault Flag MODF (SPI0CN.5) is set to logic 1 when SPI0 is configured as a master, and for  
multi-master mode and the NSS pin is pulled low. When a Mode Fault occurs, the MSTEN and SPIEN  
bits in SPI0CN are set to logic 0 to disable SPI0 and allow another master device to access the bus.  
4. The Receive Overrun Flag RXOVRN (SPI0CN.4) is set to logic 1 when configured as a slave, and a  
transfer is completed and the receive buffer still holds an unread byte from a previous transfer. The new  
byte is not transferred to the receive buffer, allowing the previously received data byte to be read. The  
data byte which caused the overrun is lost.

25.5. Serial Clock Phase and Polarity  
Four combinations of serial clock phase and polarity can be selected using the clock control bits in the  
SPI0 Configuration Register (SPI0CFG). The CKPHA bit (SPI0CFG.5) selects one of two clock phases  
(edge used to latch the data). The CKPOL bit (SPI0CFG.4) selects between an active-high or active-low  
clock. Both master and slave devices must be configured to use the same clock phase and polarity. SPI0  
should be disabled (by clearing the SPIEN bit, SPI0CN.0) when changing the clock phase or polarity. The  
clock and data line relationships for master mode are shown in Figure 25.5. For slave mode, the clock and  
data relationships are shown in Figure 25.6 and Figure 25.7. CKPHA must be set to 0 on both the master  
and slave SPI when communicating between two of the following devices: C8051F04x, C8051F06x,  
C8051F12x, C8051F31x, C8051F32x, and C8051F33x.  
The SPI0 Clock Rate Register (SPI0CKR) as shown in SFR Definition 25.3 controls the master mode  
serial clock frequency. This register is ignored when operating in slave mode. When the SPI is configured  
as a master, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) is one-half the system clock frequency or 12.5 MHz,  
whichever is slower. When the SPI is configured as a slave, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) for  
full-duplex operation is 1/10 the system clock frequency, provided that the master issues SCK, NSS (in 4-  
wire slave mode), and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s system clock. If the master  
issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data asynchronously, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec)  
must be less than 1/10 the system clock frequency. In the special case where the master only wants to  
transmit data to the slave and does not need to receive data from the slave (i.e. half-duplex operation), the  
SPI slave can receive data at a maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) of 1/4 the system clock frequency.  
This is provided that the master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s  
system clock.

Shift Register Empty (valid in slave mode only).  
This bit will be set to logic 1 when all data has been transferred in/out of the shift  
register, and there is no new information available to read from the transmit buffer  
or write to the receive buffer. It returns to logic 0 when a data byte is transferred to  
the shift register from the transmit buffer or by a transition on SCK. SRMT = 1 when  
in Master Mode.  
0
RXBMT  
Receive Buffer Empty (valid in slave mode only).  
This bit will be set to logic 1 when the receive buffer has been read and contains no  
new information. If there is new information available in the receive buffer that has  
not been read, this bit will return to logic 0. RXBMT = 1 when in Master Mode.  
Note: In slave mode, data on MOSI is sampled in the center of each data bit. In master mode, data on MISO is  
sampled one SYSCLK before the end of each data bit, to provide maximum settling time for the slave device.

26. Timers  
Each MCU includes four counter/timers: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found in the  
standard 8051, and two are 16-bit auto-reload timer for use with the ADC, SMBus, or for general purpose  
use. These timers can be used to measure time intervals, count external events and generate periodic  
interrupt requests. Timer 0 and Timer 1 are nearly identical and have four primary modes of operation.  
Timer 2 and Timer 3 offer 16-bit and split 8-bit timer functionality with auto-reload.

Timers 0 and 1 may be clocked by one of five sources, determined by the Timer Mode Select bits (T1M–  
T0M) and the Clock Scale bits (SCA1SCA0). The Clock Scale bits define a pre-scaled clock from which  
Timer 0 and/or Timer 1 may be clocked (See SFR Definition 26.1 for pre-scaled clock selection).Timer 0/1  
may then be configured to use this pre-scaled clock signal or the system clock.  
Timer 2 and Timer 3 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external  
oscillator clock source divided by 8.  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 may also be operated as counters. When functioning as a counter, a counter/timer  
register is incremented on each high-to-low transition at the selected input pin (T0 or T1). Events with a fre-  
quency of up to one-fourth the system clock frequency can be counted. The input signal need not be peri-  
odic, but it should be held at a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure the level is  
properly sampled.

26.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1  
Each timer is implemented as a 16-bit register accessed as two separate bytes: a low byte (TL0 or TL1)  
and a high byte (TH0 or TH1). The Counter/Timer Control register (TCON) is used to enable Timer 0 and  
Timer 1 as well as indicate status. Timer 0 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET0 bit in the IE regis-  
ter (Section “14.2. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 120); Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled by set-  
ting the ET1 bit in the IE register (Section “14.2. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 120). Both  
counter/timers operate in one of four primary modes selected by setting the Mode Select bits T1M1T0M0  
in the Counter/Timer Mode register (TMOD). Each timer can be configured independently. Each operating  
mode is described below.  
26.1.1. Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as 13-bit counter/timers in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration  
and operation of Timer 0. However, both timers operate identically, and Timer 1 is configured in the same  
manner as described for Timer 0.  
The TH0 register holds the eight MSBs of the 13-bit counter/timer. TL0 holds the five LSBs in bit positions  
TL0.4TL0.0. The three upper bits of TL0 (TL0.7TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or  
ignored when reading. As the 13-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to  
0x0000, the timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and an interrupt will occur if Timer 0 interrupts are  
enabled.  
The C/T0 bit (TMOD.2) selects the counter/timer's clock source. When C/T0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low  
transitions at the selected Timer 0 input pin (T0) increment the timer register (Refer to Section  
“20.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 180 for information on selecting and configuring external I/O  
pins). Clearing C/T selects the clock defined by the T0M bit (CKCON.3). When T0M is set, Timer 0 is  
clocked by the system clock. When T0M is cleared, Timer 0 is clocked by the source selected by the Clock  
Scale bits in CKCON (see SFR Definition 26.1).  
Setting the TR0 bit (TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is logic 0 or the input signal  
INT0 is active as defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF (see SFR Definition 14.7). Setting GATE0 to 1  
allows the timer to be controlled by the external input signal INT0 (see Section “14.2. Interrupt Register  
Descriptions” on page 120), facilitating pulse width measurements.

Setting TR0 does not force the timer to reset. The timer registers should be loaded with the desired initial  
value before the timer is enabled.  
TL1 and TH1 form the 13-bit register for Timer 1 in the same manner as described above for TL0 and TH0.  
Timer 1 is configured and controlled using the relevant TCON and TMOD bits just as with Timer 0. The  
input signal INT1 is used with Timer 1; the INT1 polarity is defined by bit IN1PL in register IT01CF (see  
SFR Definition 14.7).

26.1.2. Mode 1: 16-bit Counter/Timer  
Mode 1 operation is the same as Mode 0, except that the counter/timer registers use all 16 bits. The coun-  
ter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 1 in the same manner as for Mode 0.  
26.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload  
Mode 2 configures Timer 0 and Timer 1 to operate as 8-bit counter/timers with automatic reload of the start  
value. TL0 holds the count and TH0 holds the reload value. When the counter in TL0 overflows from all  
ones to 0x00, the timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and the counter in TL0 is reloaded from TH0. If  
Timer 0 interrupts are enabled, an interrupt will occur when the TF0 flag is set. The reload value in TH0 is  
not changed. TL0 must be initialized to the desired value before enabling the timer for the first count to be  
correct. When in Mode 2, Timer 1 operates identically to Timer 0.  
Both counter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 2 in the same manner as Mode 0. Setting the  
TR0 bit (TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is logic 0 or when the input signal INT0  
is active as defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF (see Section “14.3. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1”  
on page 126 for details on the external input signals INT0 and INT1).

26.1.4. Mode 3: Two 8-bit Counter/Timers (Timer 0 Only)  
In Mode 3, Timer 0 is configured as two separate 8-bit counter/timers held in TL0 and TH0. The coun-  
ter/timer in TL0 is controlled using the Timer 0 control/status bits in TCON and TMOD: TR0, C/T0, GATE0  
and TF0. TL0 can use either the system clock or an external input signal as its timebase. The TH0 register  
is restricted to a timer function sourced by the system clock or prescaled clock. TH0 is enabled using the  
Timer 1 run control bit TR1. TH0 sets the Timer 1 overflow flag TF1 on overflow and thus controls the  
Timer 1 interrupt.  
Timer 1 is inactive in Mode 3. When Timer 0 is operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be operated in Modes 0,  
1 or 2, but cannot be clocked by external signals nor set the TF1 flag and generate an interrupt. However,  
the Timer 1 overflow can be used to generate baud rates for the SMBus and/or UART, and/or initiate ADC  
conversions. While Timer 0 is operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 run control is handled through its mode set-  
tings. To run Timer 1 while Timer 0 is in Mode 3, set the Timer 1 Mode as 0, 1, or 2. To disable Timer 1,  
configure it for Mode 3.

26.2. Timer 2  
Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMR2L (low byte) and TMR2H (high byte). Timer 2 may  
operate in 16-bit auto-reload mode or (split) 8-bit auto-reload mode. The T2SPLIT bit (TMR2CN.3) defines  
the Timer 2 operation mode.  
Timer 2 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator  
source divided by 8. The external clock mode is ideal for real-time clock (RTC) functionality, where the  
internal oscillator drives the system clock while Timer 2 (and/or the PCA) is clocked by an external preci-  
sion oscillator. Note that the external oscillator source divided by 8 is synchronized with the system clock.  
26.2.1. 16-bit Timer with Auto-Reload  
When T2SPLIT (TMR2CN.3) is zero, Timer 2 operates as a 16-bit timer with auto-reload. Timer 2 can be  
clocked by SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source divided by 8. As the  
16-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the 16-bit value in the Timer 2  
reload registers (TMR2RLH and TMR2RLL) is loaded into the Timer 2 register as shown in Figure 26.4,  
and the Timer 2 High Byte Overflow Flag (TMR2CN.7) is set. If Timer 2 interrupts are enabled (if IE.5 is  
set), an interrupt will be generated on each Timer 2 overflow. Additionally, if Timer 2 interrupts are enabled  
and the TF2LEN bit is set (TMR2CN.5), an interrupt will be generated each time the lower 8 bits (TMR2L)  
overflow from 0xFF to 0x00.

26.2.2. 8-bit Timers with Auto-Reload  
When T2SPLIT is set, Timer 2 operates as two 8-bit timers (TMR2H and TMR2L). Both 8-bit timers oper-  
ate in auto-reload mode as shown in Figure 26.5. TMR2RLL holds the reload value for TMR2L; TMR2RLH  
holds the reload value for TMR2H. The TR2 bit in TMR2CN handles the run control for TMR2H. TMR2L is  
always running when configured for 8-bit Mode.  
Each 8-bit timer may be configured to use SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock  
source divided by 8. The Timer 2 Clock Select bits (T2MH and T2ML in CKCON) select either SYSCLK or  
the clock defined by the Timer 2 External Clock Select bit (T2XCLK in TMR2CN), as follows:

The TF2H bit is set when TMR2H overflows from 0xFF to 0x00; the TF2L bit is set when TMR2L overflows  
from 0xFF to 0x00. When Timer 2 interrupts are enabled (IE.5), an interrupt is generated each time  
TMR2H overflows. If Timer 2 interrupts are enabled and TF2LEN (TMR2CN.5) is set, an interrupt is gener-  
ated each time either TMR2L or TMR2H overflows. When TF2LEN is enabled, software must check the  
TF2H and TF2L flags to determine the source of the Timer 2 interrupt. The TF2H and TF2L interrupt flags  
are not cleared by hardware and must be manually cleared by software.

26.2.3. External Oscillator Capture Mode  
Capture Mode allows the external oscillator to be measured against the system clock. Timer 2 can be  
clocked from the system clock, or the system clock divided by 12, depending on the T2ML (CKCON.4),  
and T2XCLK bits. When a capture event is generated, the contents of Timer 2 (TMR2H:TMR2L) are  
loaded into the Timer 2 reload registers (TMR2RLH:TMR2RLL) and the TF2H flag is set. A capture event  
is generated by the falling edge of the clock source being measured, which is the external oscillator / 8. By  
recording the difference between two successive timer capture values, the external oscillator frequency  
can be determined with respect to the Timer 2 clock. The Timer 2 clock should be much faster than the  
capture clock to achieve an accurate reading. Timer 2 should be in 16-bit auto-reload mode when using  
Capture Mode.  
For example, if T2ML = 1b and TF2CEN = 1b, Timer 2 will clock every SYSCLK and capture every external  
clock divided by 8. If the SYSCLK is 24 MHz and the difference between two successive captures is 5984,  
then the external clock frequency is as follows:  
24 MHz/(5984/8) = 0.032086 MHz or 32.086 kHz  
This mode allows software to determine the external oscillator frequency when an RC network or capacitor  
is used to generate the clock source.

26.3. Timer 3  
Timer 3 is a 16-bit timer formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMR3L (low byte) and TMR3H (high byte). Timer 3 may  
operate in 16-bit auto-reload mode or (split) 8-bit auto-reload mode. The T3SPLIT bit (TMR3CN.3) defines  
the Timer 3 operation mode.  
Timer 3 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator  
source divided by 8. The external clock mode is ideal for real-time clock (RTC) functionality, where the  
internal oscillator drives the system clock while Timer 3 (and/or the PCA) is clocked by an external preci-  
sion oscillator. Note that the external oscillator source divided by 8 is synchronized with the system clock.  
26.3.1. 16-bit Timer with Auto-Reload  
When T3SPLIT (TMR3CN.3) is zero, Timer 3 operates as a 16-bit timer with auto-reload. Timer 3 can be  
clocked by SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source divided by 8. As the  
16-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the 16-bit value in the Timer 3  
reload registers (TMR3RLH and TMR3RLL) is loaded into the Timer 3 register as shown in Figure 26.7,  
and the Timer 3 High Byte Overflow Flag (TMR3CN.7) is set. If Timer 3 interrupts are enabled, an interrupt  
will be generated on each Timer 3 overflow. Additionally, if Timer 3 interrupts are enabled and the TF3LEN  
bit is set (TMR3CN.5), an interrupt will be generated each time the lower 8 bits (TMR3L) overflow from  
0xFF to 0x00.

26.3.2. 8-bit Timers with Auto-Reload  
When T3SPLIT is set, Timer 3 operates as two 8-bit timers (TMR3H and TMR3L). Both 8-bit timers oper-  
ate in auto-reload mode as shown in Figure 26.8. TMR3RLL holds the reload value for TMR3L; TMR3RLH  
holds the reload value for TMR3H. The TR3 bit in TMR3CN handles the run control for TMR3H. TMR3L is  
always running when configured for 8-bit Mode.  
Each 8-bit timer may be configured to use SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock  
source divided by 8. The Timer 3 Clock Select bits (T3MH and T3ML in CKCON) select either SYSCLK or  
the clock defined by the Timer 3 External Clock Select bit (T3XCLK in TMR3CN), as follows:

26.3.3. External Oscillator Capture Mode  
Capture Mode allows the external oscillator to be measured against the system clock. Timer 3 can be  
clocked from the system clock, or the system clock divided by 12, depending on the T3ML (CKCON.6),  
and T3XCLK bits. When a capture event is generated, the contents of Timer 3 (TMR3H:TMR3L) are  
loaded into the Timer 3 reload registers (TMR3RLH:TMR3RLL) and the TF3H flag is set. A capture event  
is generated by the falling edge of the clock source being measured, which is the external oscillator/8. By  
recording the difference between two successive timer capture values, the external oscillator frequency  
can be determined with respect to the Timer 3 clock. The Timer 3 clock should be much faster than the  
capture clock to achieve an accurate reading. Timer 3 should be in 16-bit auto-reload mode when using  
Capture Mode.  
If the SYSCLK is 24 MHz and the difference between two successive captures is 5861, then the external  
clock frequency is as follows:  
24 MHz/(5861/8) = 0.032754 MHz or 32.754 kHz  
This mode allows software to determine the external oscillator frequency when an RC network or capacitor  
is used to generate the clock source.

27. Programmable Counter Array  
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides enhanced timer functionality while requiring less CPU  
intervention than the standard 8051 counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer  
and six 16-bit capture/compare modules. Each capture/compare module has its own associated I/O line  
(CEXn) which is routed through the Crossbar to Port I/O when enabled. The counter/timer is driven by a  
programmable timebase that can select between six sources: system clock, system clock divided by four,  
system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock source divided by 8, Timer 0 overflows, or an  
external clock signal on the ECI input pin. Each capture/compare module may be configured to operate  
independently in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software Timer, High-Speed Output, Fre-  
quency Output,  
8 to 11-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each mode is described in Section  
“27.3. Capture/Compare Modules” on page 289). The external oscillator clock option is ideal for real-time  
clock (RTC) functionality, allowing the PCA to be clocked by a precision external oscillator while the inter-  
nal oscillator drives the system clock. The PCA is configured and controlled through the system controller's  
Special Function Registers. The PCA block diagram is shown in Figure 27.1  
Important Note: The PCA Module 5 may be used as a watchdog timer (WDT), and is enabled in this mode  
following a system reset. Access to certain PCA registers is restricted while WDT mode is enabled.

27.1. PCA Counter/Timer  
The 16-bit PCA counter/timer consists of two 8-bit SFRs: PCA0L and PCA0H. PCA0H is the high byte  
(MSB) of the 16-bit counter/timer and PCA0L is the low byte (LSB). Reading PCA0L automatically latches  
the value of PCA0H into a “snapshot” register; the following PCA0H read accesses this “snapshot” register.  
Reading the PCA0L Register first guarantees an accurate reading of the entire 16-bit PCA0 counter.  
Reading PCA0H or PCA0L does not disturb the counter operation. The CPS[2:0] bits in the PCA0MD reg-  
ister select the timebase for the counter/timer as shown in Table 27.1.  
When the counter/timer overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the Counter Overflow Flag (CF) in PCA0MD is  
set to logic 1 and an interrupt request is generated if CF interrupts are enabled. Setting the ECF bit in  
PCA0MD to logic 1 enables the CF flag to generate an interrupt request. The CF bit is not automatically  
cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by soft-  
ware. Clearing the CIDL bit in the PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue normal operation while the  
CPU is in Idle mode.

27.2. PCA0 Interrupt Sources  
Figure 27.3 shows a diagram of the PCA interrupt tree. There are five independent event flags that can be  
used to generate a PCA0 interrupt. They are as follows: the main PCA counter overflow flag (CF), which is  
set upon a 16-bit overflow of the PCA0 counter, an intermediate overflow flag (COVF), which can be set on  
an overflow from the 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th bit of the PCA0 counter, and the individual flags for each PCA  
channel (CCF0, CCF1, CCF2, CCF3, CCF4, and CCF5), which are set according to the operation mode of  
that module. These event flags are always set when the trigger condition occurs. Each of these flags can  
be individually selected to generate a PCA0 interrupt, using the corresponding interrupt enable flag (ECF  
for CF, ECOV for COVF, and ECCFn for each CCFn). PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before any  
individual interrupt sources are recognized by the processor. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by set-  
ting the EA bit and the EPCA0 bit to logic 1.

27.3. Capture/Compare Modules  
Each module can be configured to operate independently in one of six operation modes: Edge-triggered  
Capture, Software Timer, High Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8 to 11-Bit Pulse Width Modulator, or 16-  
Bit Pulse Width Modulator. Each module has Special Function Registers (SFRs) associated with it in the  
CIP-51 system controller. These registers are used to exchange data with a module and configure the  
module's mode of operation. Table 27.2 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn and PCA0PWM  
registers used to select the PCA capture/compare module’s operating mode. All modules set to use 8, 9,  
10, or 11-bit PWM mode must use the same cycle length (8-11 bits). Setting the ECCFn bit in a  
PCA0CPMn register enables the module's CCFn interrupt.

Notes:  
1. X = Don’t Care (no functional difference for individual module if 1 or 0).  
2. A = 1 to enable interrupts for this module (PCA interrupt triggered on CCFn set to 1).  
3. B = 1 to enable 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th bit overflow interrupt (Depends on setting of CLSEL[1:0]).  
4. C = When set to 0, the digital comparator is off. For high speed and frequency output modes, the  
associated pin will not toggle. In any of the PWM modes, this generates a 0% duty cycle (output = 0).  
5. D = Selects whether the Capture/Compare register (0) or the Auto-Reload register (1) for the associated  
channel is accessed via addresses PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn.  
6. E = When set to 1, a match event will cause the CCFn flag for the associated channel to be set.  
7. All modules set to 8, 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode use the same cycle length setting.  
27.3.1. Edge-triggered Capture Mode  
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes the PCA to capture the value of the PCA coun-  
ter/timer and load it into the corresponding module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPLn and  
PCA0CPHn). The CAPPn and CAPNn bits in the PCA0CPMn register are used to select the type of transi-  
tion that triggers the capture: low-to-high transition (positive edge), high-to-low transition (negative edge),  
or either transition (positive or negative edge). When a capture occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn)  
in PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is  
enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt ser-  
vice routine, and must be cleared by software. If both CAPPn and CAPNn bits are set to logic 1, then the  
state of the Port pin associated with CEXn can be read directly to determine whether a rising-edge or fall-  
ing-edge caused the capture.

27.3.2. Software Timer (Compare) Mode  
In Software Timer mode, the PCA counter/timer value is compared to the module's 16-bit capture/compare  
register (PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn). When a match occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in  
PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is  
enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt ser-  
vice routine, and must be cleared by software. Setting the ECOMn and MATn bits in the PCA0CPMn regis-  
ter enables Software Timer mode.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Cap-  
ture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the  
ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

27.3.3. High-Speed Output Mode  
In High-Speed Output mode, a module’s associated CEXn pin is toggled each time a match occurs  
between the PCA Counter and the module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPHn and  
PCA0CPLn). When a match occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An  
interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is enabled. The CCFn bit is not auto-  
matically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared  
by software. Setting the TOGn, MATn, and ECOMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables the High-  
Speed Output mode. If ECOMn is cleared, the associated pin will retain its state, and not toggle on the next  
match event.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Cap-  
ture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the  
ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

27.3.4. Frequency Output Mode  
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s associated  
CEXn pin. The capture/compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the out-  
put is toggled. The frequency of the square wave is then defined by Equation 27.1.

Note: A value of 0x00 in the PCA0CPHn register is equal to 256 for this equation.  
Equation 27.1. Square Wave Frequency Output  
Where FPCA is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS[2:0] bits in the PCA mode register,  
PCA0MD. The lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA counter low byte; on a  
match, CEXn is toggled and the offset held in the high byte is added to the matched value in PCA0CPLn.  
Frequency Output Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, TOGn, and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn reg-  
ister. Note that the MATn bit should normally be set to 0 in this mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn  
flag for the channel will be set when the 16-bit PCA0 counter and the 16-bit capture/compare register for  
the channel are equal.

27.3.5. 8-bit, 9-bit, 10-bit and 11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Modes  
Each module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its associ-  
ated CEXn pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA counter/timer, and  
the setting of the PWM cycle length (8, 9, 10 or 11-bits). For backwards-compatibility with the 8-bit PWM  
mode available on other devices, the 8-bit PWM mode operates slightly different than 9, 10 and 11-bit  
PWM modes. It is important to note that all channels configured for 8/9/10/11-bit PWM mode will use  
the same cycle length. It is not possible to configure one channel for 8-bit PWM mode and another for 11-  
bit mode (for example). However, other PCA channels can be configured to Pin Capture, High-Speed Out-  
put, Software Timer, Frequency Output, or 16-bit PWM mode independently.  
27.3.5.1. 8-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
The duty cycle of the PWM output signal in 8-bit PWM mode is varied using the module's PCA0CPLn cap-  
ture/compare register. When the value in the low byte of the PCA counter/timer (PCA0L) is equal to the  
value in PCA0CPLn, the output on the CEXn pin will be set. When the count value in PCA0L overflows, the  
CEXn output will be reset (see Figure 27.8). Also, when the counter/timer low byte (PCA0L) overflows from  
0xFF to 0x00, PCA0CPLn is reloaded automatically with the value stored in the module’s capture/compare  
high byte (PCA0CPHn) without software intervention. Setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the  
PCA0CPMn register, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to 00b enables 8-Bit Pulse Width  
Modulator mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time an 8-bit  
comparator match (rising edge) occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow  
(falling edge), which will occur every 256 PCA clock cycles. The duty cycle for 8-Bit PWM Mode is given in  
Equation 27.2.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Cap-  
ture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the  
ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

Equation 27.2. 8-Bit PWM Duty Cycle  
Using Equation 27.2, the largest duty cycle is 100% (PCA0CPHn = 0), and the smallest duty cycle is  
0.39% (PCA0CPHn = 0xFF). A 0% duty cycle may be generated by clearing the ECOMn bit to 0.

27.3.5.2. 9/10/11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
The duty cycle of the PWM output signal in 9/10/11-bit PWM mode should be varied by writing to an “Auto-  
Reload” Register, which is dual-mapped into the PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn register locations. The data  
written to define the duty cycle should be right-justified in the registers. The auto-reload registers are  
accessed (read or written) when the bit ARSEL in PCA0PWM is set to 1. The capture/compare registers  
are accessed when ARSEL is set to 0.  
When the least-significant N bits of the PCA0 counter match the value in the associated module’s cap-  
ture/compare register (PCA0CPn), the output on CEXn is asserted high. When the counter overflows from  
the Nth bit, CEXn is asserted low (see Figure 27.9). Upon an overflow from the Nth bit, the COVF flag is  
set, and the value stored in the module’s auto-reload register is loaded into the capture/compare register.  
The value of N is determined by the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM.  
The 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode is selected by setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn regis-  
ter, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to the desired cycle length (other than 8-bits). If the  
MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time a comparator match (rising edge)  
occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow (falling edge), which will occur  
every 512 (9-bit), 1024 (10-bit) or 2048 (11-bit) PCA clock cycles. The duty cycle for 9/10/11-Bit PWM  
Mode is given in Equation 27.2, where N is the number of bits in the PWM cycle.  
Important Note About PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the  
PCA0CPn registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn  
bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

27.3.6. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. 16-bit PWM mode is independent of the other  
(8/9/10/11-bit) PWM modes. In this mode, the 16-bit capture/compare module defines the number of PCA  
clocks for the low time of the PWM signal. When the PCA counter matches the module contents, the out-  
put on CEXn is asserted high; when the 16-bit counter overflows, CEXn is asserted low. To output a vary-  
ing duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with PCA CCFn match interrupts. 16-Bit PWM  
Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a vary-  
ing duty cycle, match interrupts should be enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help synchronize the  
capture/compare register writes. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each  
time a 16-bit comparator match (rising edge) occurs. The CF flag in PCA0CN can be used to detect the  
overflow (falling edge). The duty cycle for 16-Bit PWM Mode is given by Equation 27.4.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Cap-  
ture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the  
ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

27.4. Watchdog Timer Mode  
A programmable watchdog timer (WDT) function is available through the PCA Module 5. The WDT is used  
to generate a reset if the time between writes to the WDT update register (PCA0CPH5) exceed a specified  
limit. The WDT can be configured and enabled/disabled as needed by software.  
With the WDTE bit set in the PCA0MD register, Module 5 operates as a watchdog timer (WDT). The Mod-  
ule 5 high byte is compared to the PCA counter high byte; the Module 5 low byte holds the offset to be  
used when WDT updates are performed. The Watchdog Timer is enabled on reset. Writes to some  
PCA registers are restricted while the Watchdog Timer is enabled. The WDT will generate a reset  
shortly after code begins execution. To avoid this reset, the WDT should be explicitly disabled (and option-  
ally re-configured and re-enabled if it is used in the system).  
27.4.1. Watchdog Timer Operation  
While the WDT is enabled:  
PCA counter is forced on.  
Writes to PCA0L and PCA0H are not allowed.  
PCA clock source bits (CPS[2:0]) are frozen.  
PCA Idle control bit (CIDL) is frozen.  
Module 5 is forced into software timer mode.  
Writes to the Module 5 mode register (PCA0CPM5) are disabled.  
While the WDT is enabled, writes to the CR bit will not change the PCA counter state; the counter will run  
until the WDT is disabled. The PCA counter run control bit (CR) will read zero if the WDT is enabled but  
user software has not enabled the PCA counter. If a match occurs between PCA0CPH5 and PCA0H while  
the WDT is enabled, a reset will be generated. To prevent a WDT reset, the WDT may be updated with a  
write of any value to PCA0CPH5. Upon a PCA0CPH5 write, PCA0H plus the offset held in PCA0CPL5 is  
loaded into PCA0CPH5 (See Figure 27.11).

Figure 27.11. PCA Module 2 with Watchdog Timer Enabled  
Note that the 8-bit offset held in PCA0CPH5 is compared to the upper byte of the 16-bit PCA counter. This  
offset value is the number of PCA0L overflows before a reset. Up to 256 PCA clocks may pass before the  
first PCA0L overflow occurs, depending on the value of the PCA0L when the update is performed. The  
total offset is then given (in PCA clocks) by Equation 27.5, where PCA0L is the value of the PCA0L register  
at the time of the update.  
Offset = 256 x PCA0CPL5+ 256 PCA0L  
Equation 27.5. Watchdog Timer Offset in PCA Clocks  
The WDT reset is generated when PCA0L overflows while there is a match between PCA0CPH5 and  
PCA0H. Software may force a WDT reset by writing a 1 to the CCF5 flag (PCA0CN.5) while the WDT is  
enabled.  
27.4.2. Watchdog Timer Usage  
To configure the WDT, perform the following tasks:  
Disable the WDT by writing a 0 to the WDTE bit.  
Select the desired PCA clock source (with the CPS[2:0] bits).  
Load PCA0CPL5 with the desired WDT update offset value.  
Configure the PCA Idle mode (set CIDL if the WDT should be suspended while the CPU is in Idle  
mode).  
Enable the WDT by setting the WDTE bit to 1.  
Reset the WDT timer by writing to PCA0CPH5.  
The PCA clock source and Idle mode select cannot be changed while the WDT is enabled. The watchdog  
timer is enabled by setting the WDTE or WDLCK bits in the PCA0MD register. When WDLCK is set, the  
WDT cannot be disabled until the next system reset. If WDLCK is not set, the WDT is disabled by clearing  
the WDTE bit.  
The WDT is enabled following any reset. The PCA0 counter clock defaults to the system clock divided by  
12, PCA0L defaults to 0x00, and PCA0CPL5 defaults to 0x00. Using Equation 27.5, this results in a WDT  
timeout interval of 256 PCA clock cycles, or 3072 system clock cycles. Table 27.3 lists some example tim-  
eout intervals for typical system clocks.

28. C2 Interface  
C8051F50x-F51x devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow Flash pro-  
gramming and in-system debugging with the production part installed in the end application. The C2 inter-  
face uses a clock signal (C2CK) and a bi-directional C2 data signal (C2D) to transfer information between  
the device and a host system. See the C2 Interface Specification for details on the C2 protocol.  
28.1. C2 Interface Registers  
The following describes the C2 registers necessary to perform Flash programming through the C2 inter-  
face. All C2 registers are accessed through the C2 interface as described in the C2 Interface Specification.

28.2. C2 Pin Sharing  
The C2 protocol allows the C2 pins to be shared with user functions so that in-system debugging and  
Flash programming may be performed. This is possible because C2 communication is typically performed  
when the device is in the halt state, where all on-chip peripherals and user software are stalled. In this  
halted state, the C2 interface can safely ‘borrow’ the C2CK (RST) and C2D pins. In most applications,  
external resistors are required to isolate C2 interface traffic from the user application. A typical isolation  
configuration is shown in Figure 28.1.

Figure 28.1. Typical C2 Pin Sharing  
The configuration in Figure 28.1 assumes the following:  
1. The user input (b) cannot change state while the target device is halted.  
2. The RST pin on the target device is used as an input only.  
Additional resistors may be necessary depending on the specific application.
