1. System Overview  
The C8051F52x/C8051F53x family of devices are fully integrated, very low power, mixed-signal system-  
on-a-chip MCUs. Highlighted features are listed below. Refer to Table 1.1 for specific product feature  
selection.  
High-speed pipelined 8051-compatible microcontroller core (up to 25 MIPS)  
In-system, full-speed, non-intrusive debug interface (on-chip)  
True 12-bit 200 ksps ADC with analog multiplexer and up to 16 analog inputs  
Precision programmable 24.5 MHz internal oscillator that is ±0.5% across voltage and temperature  
Up to 7680 bytes of on-chip Flash memory  
256 bytes of on-chip RAM  
Enhanced UART, and SPI serial interfaces implemented in hardware  
LIN 2.0 peripheral (V2.0 and V1.3 compatible, master and slave modes)  
Three general-purpose 16-bit timers  
Programmable Counter/Timer Array (PCA) with three capture/compare modules and Watchdog Timer  
function  
On-chip Power-On Reset, V Monitor, and Temperature Sensor  
DD  
On-chip Voltage Comparator  
Up to 16 Port I/O  
With on-chip Power-On Reset, V  
monitor, Watchdog Timer, and clock oscillator, the C8051F52x/F53x  
DD  
devices are truly standalone system-on-a-chip solutions. The Flash memory is byte writable and can be  
reprogrammed 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 Laboratories 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 programming  
and debugging without occupying package pins.  
Each device is specified for 2.7 to 5.25 V operation (supply voltage can be up to 5.25 V using on-chip reg-  
ulator) over the automotive temperature range (–40 to +125 °C). The F52x is available in the QFN10  
(3 x 3 mm) package. The F53x is available in the QFN20 (4 x 4 mm) or the TSSOP20 package.

1.1. CIP-51™ Microcontroller  
1.1.1. Fully 8051 Compatible Instruction Set  
The C8051F52x/F53xdevices use Silicon Laboratories’ proprietary CIP-51 microcontroller core. The CIP-  
51 is fully compatible with the MCS-51™ instruction set. Standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers  
can be used to develop software. The C8051F52x/F53xfamily has a superset of all the peripherals  
included with a standard 8052.  
1.1.2. Improved Throughput  
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-to-24 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.  
With the CIP-51's system clock running at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS. The CIP-51 has a  
total of 109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instructions that require each execution  
time.

1.1.3. Additional Features  
The C8051F52x/F53x family includes several key enhancements to the CIP-51 core and peripherals to  
improve performance and ease of use in end applications.  
An extended interrupt handler allows the numerous analog and digital peripherals to operate indepen-  
dently of the controller core and interrupt the controller only when necessary. By requiring less intervention  
from the microcontroller core, an interrupt-driven system is more efficient and allows for easier implemen-  
tation of multi-tasking, real-time systems.  
Eight reset sources are available: power-on reset circuitry (POR), an on-chip V  
monitor, a Watchdog  
DD  
Timer, a Missing Clock Detector, a voltage level detection from Comparator, a forced software reset, an  
external reset pin, and an illegal Flash access protection circuit. Each reset source except for the POR,  
Reset Input Pin, or Flash error may be disabled by the user in software. The WDT may be permanently  
enabled in software after a power-on reset during MCU initialization.  
The internal oscillator is factory calibrated to 24.5 MHz ±0.5% across the entire operating temperature and  
voltage range. An external oscillator drive circuit is also included, allowing an external crystal, ceramic res-  
onator, capacitor, RC, or CMOS clock source to generate the system clock.  
1.1.4. On-Chip Debug Circuitry  
The C8051F52x/F53x devices include on-chip Silicon Laboratories 2-Wire (C2) debug circuitry that pro-  
vides non-intrusive, full speed, in-circuit debugging of the production part installed in the end application.  
Silicon Laboratories’ debugging system supports inspection and modification of memory and registers,  
breakpoints, and single stepping. No additional target RAM, program memory, timers, or communications  
channels are required. All the digital and analog peripherals are functional and work correctly while debug-  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
21  
C8051F52x-53x  
ging. All the peripherals (except for the ADC) are stalled when the MCU is halted, during single stepping,  
or at a breakpoint in order to keep them synchronized.  
The C8051F530-DK development kit provides all the hardware and software necessary to develop applica-  
tion code and perform in-circuit debugging with the C8051F52x/F53x MCUs. The kit includes software with  
a developer's studio and debugger, a USB debug adapter, a target application board with the associated  
MCU installed, and the required cables and wall-mount power supply. The development kit requires a com-  
puter with Windows installed. As shown in Figure 1.3, the PC is connected to the USB debug adapter. A  
six-inch ribbon cable connects the USB debug adapter to the user's application board, picking up the two  
C2 pins and GND.  
The Silicon Laboratories IDE interface is a vastly superior developing and debugging configuration, com-  
pared to standard MCU emulators that use on-board "ICE Chips" and require the MCU in the application  
board to be socketed. Silicon Laboratories’ debug paradigm increases ease of use and preserves the per-  
formance of the precision analog peripherals.

1.2. On-Chip Memory  
The CIP-51 has a standard 8051 program and data address configuration. It includes 256 bytes of data  
RAM, with the upper 128 bytes dual-mapped. Indirect addressing accesses the upper 128 bytes of general  
purpose RAM, and direct addressing accesses the 128 byte SFR address space. The lower 128 bytes of  
RAM are accessible via direct and indirect addressing. The first 32 bytes are addressable as four banks of  
general purpose registers, and the next 16 bytes can be byte addressable or bit addressable.  
Program memory consists of 7680 bytes (‘F520/1 and ‘F530/1), 4 kB (‘F523/4 and ‘F533/4), or 2 kB  
(‘F526/7 and ‘F536/7) of Flash. This memory is byte writable and erased in 512-byte sectors, and requires  
no special off-chip programming voltage.

1.3. Operating Modes  
The C8051F52x/F53x devices have four operating modes: Active (Normal), Idle, Suspend, and Stop.  
Active mode occurs during normal operation when the oscillator and peripherals are active. Idle mode halts  
the CPU while leaving the peripherals and internal clocks active. In Suspend and Stop mode, the CPU is  
halted, all interrupts and timers are inactive, and the internal oscillator is stopped. The various operating  
modes are described in Table 1.2 below:

1.4. 12-Bit Analog to Digital Converter  
The C8051F52x/F53x devices include an on-chip 12-bit SAR ADC with a maximum throughput of  
200 ksps. The ADC system includes a configurable analog multiplexer that selects the positive ADC input,  
which is measured with respect to GND. Ports 0 and 1 are available as ADC inputs; additionally, the ADC  
includes an innovative half gain selection which allows for inputs up to twice the Vref voltage to be sam-  
pled. The on-chip Temperature Sensor output and the core supply voltage (V ) are also available as ADC  
DD  
inputs. User firmware may shut down the ADC or use it in Burst Mode to save power.  
Conversions can be initiated in three ways: a software command, an overflow of Timer 2 or an external  
convert start signal. This flexibility allows the start of conversion to be triggered by software events, a peri-  
odic signal (timer overflows), or external HW signals. Conversion completions are indicated by a status bit  
and an interrupt (if enabled) and occur after 1, 4, 8, or 16 samples have been accumulated by a hardware  
accumulator. The resulting 12-bit to 16-bit data word is latched into the ADC data SFRs upon completion of  
a conversion. When the system clock is slow, Burst Mode allows ADC0 to automatically wake from a low  
power shutdown state, acquire and accumulate samples, then re-enter the low power shutdown state with-  
out CPU intervention.  
Window compare registers for the ADC data can be configured to interrupt the controller when ADC data is  
either within or outside of a specified range. The ADC can monitor a key voltage continuously in back-  
ground mode, but not interrupt the controller unless the converted data is within/outside the specified  
range.

1.5. Programmable Comparator  
C8051F52x/F53x devices include a software-configurable voltage comparator with an input multiplexer.  
The comparator offers programmable response time and hysteresis and an output that is optionally avail-  
able at the Port pins: a synchronous “latched” output (CP0). The comparator interrupt may be generated  
on rising, falling, or both edges. When in IDLE or SUSPEND mode, these interrupts may be used as a  
“wake-up” source for the processor. The Comparator may also be configured as a reset source. A block  
diagram of the comparator is shown in Figure 1.6.

1.6. Voltage Regulator  
C8051F52x/F53x devices include an on-chip low dropout voltage regulator (REG0). The input to REG0 at  
the V pin can be as high as 5.25 V. The output can be selected by software to 2.0 V or 2.5 V. When  
REGIN  
enabled, the output of REG0 powers the device and drives the V pin. The voltage regulator can be used  
DD  
to power external devices connected to V  
.
DD  
1.7. Serial Port  
The C8051F52x/F53x Family includes a full-duplex UART with enhanced baud rate configuration, and an  
Enhanced SPI interface. Each of the serial buses is fully implemented in hardware and makes extensive  
use of the CIP-51's interrupts, thus requiring very little CPU intervention.  
26  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
1.8. Port Input/Output  
C8051F52x/F53x devices include up to 16 I/O pins. Port pins are organized as two byte-wide ports. The  
port pins behave like typical 8051 ports with a few enhancements. Each port pin can be configured as a  
digital or analog I/O pin. Pins selected as digital I/O can be configured for push-pull or open-drain opera-  
tion. The “weak pullups” that are fixed on typical 8051 devices may be globally disabled to save power.  
The Digital Crossbar allows mapping of internal digital system resources to port I/O pins. On-chip  
counter/timers, serial buses, hardware interrupts, and other digital signals can be configured to appear on  
the port pins using the Crossbar control registers. This allows the user to select the exact mix of general-  
purpose port I/O, digital, and analog resources needed for the application.

5. 12-Bit ADC (ADC0)  
The ADC0 subsystem for the C8051F52x/F53x Family consists of an analog multiplexer (AMUX0) with  
16/6 total input selections, and a 200 ksps, 12-bit successive-approximation-register ADC with integrated  
track-and-hold, programmable window detector, programmable attenuation (1:2), and hardware accumula-  
tor. The ADC0 subsystem has a special Burst Mode which can automatically enable ADC0, capture and  
accumulate 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 shown in Figure 5.1. ADC0 inputs are single-ended and may be configured to  
measure P0.0-P2.7, the Temperature Sensor output, V , or GND with respect to GND. ADC0 is enabled  
DD  
when the AD0EN bit in the ADC0 Control register (ADC0CN) is set to logic 1, or when performing conver-  
sions in Burst Mode. ADC0 is in low power shutdown when AD0EN is logic 0 and no Burst Mode conver-  
sions are taking place.

AMUX0 selects the input channel to the ADC. Any of the following may be selected as an input: P0.0–  
P1.7, the on-chip temperature sensor, the core power supply (V ), or ground (GND). ADC0 is single-  
DD  
ended and all signals measured are with respect to GND. The ADC0 input channels are selected using  
the ADC0MX register as described in SFR Definition 5.1.  
Important Note About ADC0 Input Configuration: Port pins selected as ADC0 inputs should be config-  
ured as analog inputs, and should be skipped by the Digital Crossbar. To configure a Port pin for analog  
input, set to ‘0’ the corresponding bit in register PnMDIN (for n = 0,1). To force the Crossbar to skip a Port

5.3.1. 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 P0.6)  
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 Timer2 is in 16-bit mode. See Section  
“19. Timers” on page 179 for timer configuration.  
5.3.2. Tracking Modes  
According to Table 5.1 and Table 5.2, each ADC0 conversion must be preceded by a minimum tracking  
time for the converted result to be accurate. 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 continuously 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 maxi-  
mizes tracking time by tracking before and after the convert start signal. Figure 5.3 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.  
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 5.1 and Table 5.2, may be required after changing MUX settings. See the settling time requirements  
described in Section “5.3.6. Settling Time Requirements” on page 48.

Figure 5.3. ADC0 Tracking Modes  
5.3.3. Timing  
ADC0 has a maximum conversion speed specified in Table 5.1 and Table 5.2. ADC0 is clocked from the  
ADC0 Subsystem 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 5.1  
and Table 5.2.  
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 5.4 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.

C8051F52x-53x  
5.3.4. 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 5.5 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  
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.

5.3.5. Output Conversion Code  
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.  
REF  
Data 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-justified 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. The  
output value can be 14-bit (4 samples), 15-bit (8 samples), or 16-bit (16 samples) in unsigned integer  
format based on the selected repeat count. The repeat count can be selected using the AD0RPT bits in the  
ADC0CF register. The value must be right-justified (AD0LJST = “0”), and unused bits in the ADC0H and  
ADC0L registers are set to '0'. The following example shows right-justified codes for repeat counts greater  
n
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.

A minimum tracking time is required before an accurate conversion can be performed. This tracking time is  
determined by the AMUX0 resistance, the ADC0 sampling capacitance, any external source resistance,  
and the accuracy required for the conversion.  
Figure 5.6 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuit. The required ADC0 settling time for a given settling  
accuracy (SA) may be approximated by Equation 5.1. When measuring the Temperature Sensor output or  
V
with respect to GND, R  
reduces to R  
. See Table 5.1 and Table 5.2 for ADC0 minimum set-

5.4. 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) reg-  
isters 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.

5.5. Selectable Attenuation  
The C8051F52x/F53x family of devices implements an ADC that provides a new and innovative selectable  
attenuation option. This option allows the designer to take the ADC Input and either keep its input value  
unchanged or attenuate by a factor of 2 (value divided by two).  
The attenuation selection is performed using the following steps:  
Step 1. Set the ATTEN bit (ADC0CF.0)  
Step 2. Load the ADC0H with 0x04  
Step 3. Load ADC0L with 0xFC if no attenuation (1/1 gain) is required or 0x7C to attenuate the  
signal (1/2 gain)  
Step 4. Reset the ATTEN bit (ADC0CF.0)  
Notes:  
1. During the Attenuation selection no ADC conversion should be performed as the results will be incorrect.  
2. The maximum input voltage value is still limited to Vregin and the maximum value of the signal after attenuation  
is limited to Vref otherwise the ADC will saturate.

6. Voltage Reference  
The Voltage reference MUX on C8051F52x/F53x devices is configurable to use an externally connected  
voltage reference, the internal reference voltage generator, or the V power supply voltage (see  
DD  
Figure 6.1). The REFSL bit in the Reference Control register (REF0CN) selects the reference source. For  
an external source or the internal reference applied to the V pin, REFSL should be set to ‘0’. To use  
REF  
V
as the reference source, REFSL should be set to ‘1’.  
DD  
The BIASE bit enables the internal voltage bias generator, which is used by the ADC, Temperature Sensor,  
and internal oscillators. This bit is forced to logic 1 when any of the aforementioned peripherals are  
enabled. The bias generator may be enabled manually by writing a ‘1’ to the BIASE bit in register  
REF0CN; see SFR Definition 6.1 for REF0CN register details. The electrical specifications for the voltage  
reference circuit are given in Table 6.1.  
The internal 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 internal voltage reference can be driven out on the V  
pin by setting the REFBE bit in register  
REF  
REF0CN to a ‘1’ (see Figure 6.1). The load seen by the V  
pin must draw less than 200 µA to GND.  
REF  
When using the internal voltage reference, bypass capacitors of 0.1 µF and 4.7 µF are recommended from  
the V pin to GND. If the internal reference is not used, the REFBE bit should be cleared to ‘0’. Electrical  
REF  
specifications for the internal voltage reference are given in Table 6.1.

Important Note About the V  
Pin: Port pin P0.0 is used as the external V  
input and as an output for  
REF  
REF  
the internal V  
. When using either an external voltage reference or the internal reference circuitry, P0.0  
REF  
should be configured as an analog pin, and skipped by the Digital Crossbar. To configure P0.0 as an ana-  
log pin, clear Bit 2 in register P0MDIN to ‘0’. To configure the Crossbar to skip P0.0, set Bit 0 in register  
P0SKIP to ‘1’. Refer to Section “14. Port Input/Output” on page 115 for complete Port I/O configuration  
details. The TEMPE bit in register REF0CN enables/disables the temperature sensor. While disabled, the  
temperature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any ADC0 measurements performed on the  
sensor result in meaningless data.

7. Voltage Regulator (REG0)  
C8051F52x/F53x devices include an on-chip low dropout voltage regulator (REG0). The input to REG0 at  
the V pin can be as high as 5.25 V. The output can be selected by software to 2.0 V or 2.4 V. When  
REGIN  
enabled, the output of REG0 appears on the V pin, powers the microcontroller core, and can be used to  
DD  
power external devices. On reset, REG0 is enabled and can be disabled by software.  
The input (V  
) and output (V ) of the voltage regulator should both be bypassed with a large capaci-  
DD  
REGIN  
tor (4.7 µF + 0.1 µF) to ground. 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 7.1.  
The Voltage regulator can also generate an interrupt (if enabled by EREG0, EIE1.6) that is triggered when-  
ever the Vregin Input voltage drops below the dropout threshold. (see Table 7.1)  
This dropout interrupt has no pending flag and the recommended procedure to use it is as follows:  
Step 1. Wait enough time to ensure the Vregin input voltage is stable  
Step 2. Enable the dropout interrupt (EREG0, EIE1.6) and select the proper priority (PREG0,  
PIE1.6)  
Step 3. If triggered, inside the interrupt disable it (clear EREG0, EIE1.6), execute all procedures  
necessary to protect your application (put it in a safe mode and leave the interrupt now  
disabled.  
Step 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.

8. Comparator  
C8051F52x/F53x devices include one on-chip programmable voltage comparator. The Comparator is  
shown in Figure 8.1;  
The 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), or an asyn-  
chronous “raw” output (CP0A). The asynchronous CP0A signal is available even when the system clock is  
not active. This allows the Comparator to operate and generate an output with the device in STOP or SUS-  
PEND mode. When assigned to a Port pin, the Comparator output may be configured as open drain or  
push-pull (see Section “14.2. Port I/O Initialization” on page 121). The Comparator may also be used  
as a reset source (see Section “12.5. Comparator Reset” on page 100).  
The Comparator inputs are selected in the CPT0MX register (SFR Definition 8.2). The CMX0P3CMX0P0  
bits select the Comparator0 positive input; the CMX0N3CMX0N0 bits select the Comparator0 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 “14.3. General Purpose Port I/O” on page 123)

Figure 8.1. Comparator Functional Block Diagram  
The Comparator has two input modes: Low-Speed Analog Mode and High-Speed Analog Mode. The differ-  
ence between the two modes is that Comparator input resistance is decreased in High-Speed Analog  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
67  
C8051F52x-53x  
Mode, but power consumption is slightly increased. High-Speed Analog Mode is enabled by setting the  
CPnHIQE bit in CPTnMD.  
The Comparator output can be polled in software, used as an interrupt source, internal oscillator suspend  
awakening source and/or routed to a Port pin. When routed to a Port pin, the Comparator output is avail-  
able asynchronous or synchronous to the system clock; the asynchronous output is available even in  
STOP or SUSPEND mode (with no system clock active). When disabled, the Comparator output (if  
assigned to a Port I/O pin via the Crossbar) defaults to the logic low state, and its supply current falls to  
less than 100 nA. See Section “14.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 117 for details on configuring  
Comparator outputs via the digital Crossbar. Comparator inputs can be externally driven from 0.25 V to  
(V ) + 0.25 V without damage or upset. The complete Comparator electrical specifications are given in  
DD  
Table 8.1.  
The Comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPTnMD register (see SFR Defini-  
tion 8.3). Selecting a longer response time reduces the Comparator supply current. See Table 8.1 for com-  
plete timing and current consumption specifications.

Figure 8.2. Comparator Hysteresis Plot  
The Comparator hysteresis is software-programmable via its Comparator Control register CPT0CN (for  
n = 0 or 1). The user can program both the amount of hysteresis voltage (referred to the input voltage) and  
the positive and negative-going symmetry of this hysteresis around the threshold voltage.  
The Comparator hysteresis is programmed using Bits30 in the Comparator Control Register CPT0CN  
(shown in SFR Definition 8.1). The amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of  
the CP0HYN bits. As shown in Table 8.1, settings of 20, 10 or 5 mV of negative hysteresis can be  
68  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
programmed, or negative hysteresis can be disabled. In a similar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is  
determined by the setting the CP0HYP bits.  
Comparator interrupts can be generated on both rising-edge and falling-edge output transitions. (For Inter-  
rupt enable and priority control, see Section “11. Interrupt Handler” on page 89). The CP0FIF flag is set  
to logic 1 upon a Comparator falling-edge detect, and the CPnRIF flag is set to logic 1 upon the Compara-  
tor rising-edge detect. 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 set-  
ting the CP0EN bit to logic 1, and is disabled by clearing this bit to logic 0.  
The output state of the Comparator can be obtained at any time by reading the CP0OUT bit. The Compar-  
ator is enabled by setting the CP0EN bit to logic 1, and is disabled by clearing this bit to logic 0. When the  
Comparator is enabled, the internal oscillator is awakened from SUSPEND mode if the Comparator output  
is logic 0.  
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. This Power Up Time is specified in Table 8.1 on page 72.

ware. The C8051F52x/C8051F53x family has a superset of all the peripherals included with a standard  
8051. See Section “1. System Overview” on page 17 for more information about the available peripherals.  
The CIP-51 includes on-chip debug hardware which interfaces directly with the analog and digital sub-  
systems, providing a complete data acquisition or control-system solution in a single integrated 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 9.1 for a block diagram).  
The CIP-51 core includes the following features:

- 25 MIPS Peak Throughput  
- 256 Bytes of Internal RAM

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.  
With the CIP-51's system clock running at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS. The CIP-51 has a  
total of 109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instructions that require each execution  
time.

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 (C2) interface. Note that the re-programmable Flash can  
also be read and written a single byte at a time by the application software using the MOVC and MOVX  
instructions. This feature allows program memory to be used for non-volatile data storage as well as updat-  
ing program code under software control.  
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.  
The CIP-51 is supported by development tools from Silicon Laboratories, Inc. and third party vendors. Sili-  
con Laboratories provides an integrated development environment (IDE) including editor, evaluation com-  
piler, assembler, debugger and programmer. The IDE's debugger and programmer interface to the CIP-51  
via the on-chip debug logic to provide fast and efficient in-system device programming and debugging.  
Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also available.  
9.1. 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.  
9.1.1. 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 two less clock  
cycles to complete when the branch is not taken as opposed to when the branch is taken. Table 9.1 is the  
CIP-51 Instruction Set Summary, which includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock  
cycles for each instruction.

9.1.2. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory  
The MOVX instruction is typically used to access data stored in XDATA memory space. In the CIP-51, the  
MOVX instruction can also be used to write or erase on-chip program memory space implemented as re-  
programmable Flash memory. The Flash access feature provides a mechanism for the CIP-51 to update  
program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Section  
“13. Flash Memory” on page 105 for further details.

9.3. Power Management Modes  
The CIP-51 core has two software programmable power management modes: Idle and Stop. Idle mode  
halts the CPU while leaving the peripherals and internal 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). 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 consumes the least power. SFR Defini-  
tion 9.7 describes the Power Control Register (PCON) used to control the CIP-51's power management  
modes.  
Although the CIP-51 has Idle and Stop modes built in (as with any standard 8051 architecture), power  
management of the entire MCU is better accomplished 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 the oscil-  
lators lowers power consumption considerably; however a reset is required to restart the MCU.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2

C8051F52x-53x  
9.3.1. Idle Mode  
Setting the Idle Mode Select bit (PCON.0) causes the CIP-51 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.  
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.  
9.3.2. Stop Mode  
Setting the Stop Mode Select bit (PCON.1) causes the CIP-51 to enter Stop mode as soon as the instruc-  
tion that sets the bit completes execution. In Stop mode the internal oscillator, CPU, and all digital peripher-  
als 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 CIP-51 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 period of 100 µs.

10. Memory Organization and SFRs  
The memory organization of the C8051F52x/F53x is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are two sep-  
arate 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 map is shown in Figure 10.1.

10.1. Program Memory  
The CIP-51 core has a 64k-byte program memory space. The C8051F520/1 and ‘F530/1 implement 8 kB  
of this program memory space as in-system, re-programmable Flash memory, organized in a contiguous  
block from addresses 0x0000 to 0x1FFF. Addresses above 0x1DFF are reserved on the 8 kB devices. The  
C8051F523/4 and ‘F533/4 implement 4 kB of Flash from addresses 0x0000 to 0x0FFF.The C8051F526/7  
and ‘F536/7 implement 2 kB of Flash from addresses 0x0000 to 0x07FF.  
Program memory is normally assumed to be read-only. However, the C8051F52x/F53x can write to pro-  
gram memory by setting the Program Store Write Enable bit (PSCTL.0) and using the MOVX write instruc-  
tion. This feature provides a mechanism for updates to program code and use of the program memory  
space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Section “13. Flash Memory” on page 105 for further details.

10.2. Data Memory  
The C8051F52x/F53x includes 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 con-  
sisting of eight 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 (SFRs) 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 10.1 illustrates the data memory organization of the C8051F52x/  
C8051F53x.  
10.3. General Purpose Registers  
The lower 32 bytes of data memory (locations 0x00 through 0x1F) may be addressed as four banks of  
general-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 9.4. PSW: Pro-  
gram Status Word). This allows fast context switching when entering subroutines and interrupt service rou-  
tines. Indirect addressing modes use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.  
10.4. 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 bit 7 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 destination).  
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.  
10.5. 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, 0x81) 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 register (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.

C8051F52x-53x  
10.6. 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 CIP-51's resources and peripherals. The  
CIP-51 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 MCU. This allows the addition of new  
functionality while retaining compatibility with the MCS-51™ instruction set. Table 10.1 lists the SFRs  
implemented in the CIP-51 System Controller.  
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, 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 these areas will have an indeterminate effect and should be  
avoided. Refer to the corresponding pages of the data sheet, as indicated in Table 10.2, for a detailed  
description of each register.

C8051F52x-53x  
11. Interrupt Handler  
The C8051F52x/F53x family includes an extended interrupt system with two selectable priority levels. The  
allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripherals and external input 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 the Interrupt Enable and Extended Interrupt Enable SFRs. However, interrupts must first be  
globally enabled by setting the EA bit (IE.7) to logic 1 before the individual interrupt enables are recog-  
nized. Setting the EA bit to logic 0 disables all interrupt sources regardless of the individual interrupt-  
enable settings. Note that interrupts which occur when the EA bit is set to logic 0 will be held in a pending  
state, and will not be serviced until the EA bit is set back to logic 1.  
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.  
11.1. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors  
The MCUs support 15 interrupt sources. Software can simulate an interrupt by setting any interrupt-pend-  
ing flag to logic 1. If interrupts are enabled for the flag, an interrupt request will be generated and the CPU  
will vector to the ISR address associated with the interrupt-pending flag. MCU interrupt sources, associ-  
ated vector addresses, priority order, and control bits are summarized in Table 11.1 on page 90. Refer to  
the data sheet section associated with a particular on-chip peripheral for information regarding valid inter-  
rupt conditions for the peripheral and the behavior of its interrupt-pending flag(s).  
11.2. 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 (IP or EIP1) 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 priority order is  
used to arbitrate, given in Table 11.1.  
11.3. 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 7  
system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt, 1 clock cycle to execute a single instruction, and  
5 clock cycles to complete the LCALL to the ISR. If an interrupt is pending when a RETI is executed, a sin-  
gle instruction is executed before an LCALL is made to service the pending interrupt. Therefore, the maxi-  
mum 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  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
89  
C8051F52x-53x  
instruction. In this case, the response time is 19 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 5 clock cycles to exe-  
cute 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 instruc-  
tion.

11.5. External Interrupts  
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 “19.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1” on page 179) 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 11.5).  
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  
“14.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 117 for complete details on configuring the Crossbar).  
IE0 (TCON.1) and IE1 (TCON.3) serve as the interrupt-pending flags for the /INT0 and /INT1 external  
interrupts, respectively. If an /INT0 or /INT1 external interrupt is configured as edge-sensitive, the corre-  
sponding 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 inac-  
tive. 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.

12. 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 V  
Monitor and power-on resets, the RST pin is driven low until the device  
DD  
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. Refer to Section “15. Oscillators” on page 131 for information on selecting and configuring  
the system clock source. The Watchdog Timer is enabled with the system clock divided by 12 as its clock  
source (Section “20.3. Watchdog Timer Mode” on page 201 details the use of the Watchdog Timer).  
Program execution begins at location 0x0000.

12.1. Power-On Reset  
During power-up, the device is held in a reset state and the RST pin is driven low until V settles above  
DD  
V
. An additional delay occurs before the device is released from reset; the delay decreases as the V  
DD  
RST  
ramp time increases (V ramp time is defined as how fast V ramps from 0 V to V ). Figure 12.2 plots  
RST  
DD  
DD  
the power-on and V  
monitor reset timing. For valid ramp times (less than 1 ms), the power-on reset  
DD  
delay (T  
) is typically less than 0.3 ms.  
PORDelay  
Note: The maximum V ramp time is 1 ms; slower ramp times may cause the device to be released from  
DD  
reset before V reaches the V  
level.  
RST  
DD  
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 contents of internal data  
memory should be assumed to be undefined after a power-on reset. The V monitor is enabled following  
DD  
a power-on reset.

12.2. Power-Fail Reset / V Monitor  
DD  
When a power-down transition or power irregularity causes V  
to drop below V , the power supply  
RST  
DD  
monitor will drive the RST pin low and hold the CIP-51 in a reset state (see Figure 12.2). When V returns  
DD  
to a level above V , the CIP-51 will be released from the reset state. Note that even though internal data  
RST  
memory contents are not altered by the power-fail reset, it is impossible to determine if V dropped below  
DD  
the level required for data retention. If the PORSF flag reads ‘1’, the data may no longer be valid. The V  
DD  
monitor is enabled and is not selected as a reset source after power-on resets; however its defined state  
(enabled/disabled) is not altered by any other reset source. For example, if the V monitor is disabled by  
DD  
software, and a software reset is performed, the V monitor will still be disabled after the reset. To pro-  
DD  
tect the integrity of Flash contents, the V  
monitor must be enabled to the higher setting  
DD  
(VDMLVL = '1') and selected as a reset source if software contains routines which erase or write  
Flash memory. If the V monitor is not enabled, any erase or write performed on Flash memory  
DD  
will cause a Flash Error device reset.  
The V monitor must be enabled before it is selected as a reset source. Selecting the V monitor  
DD  
DD  
as a reset source before it is enabled and stabilized may cause a system reset. The procedure for re-  
enabling the V monitor and configuring the V monitor as a reset source is shown below:  
DD  
DD  
Step 1. Enable the V monitor (VDMEN bit in VDM0CN = ‘1’).  
DD  
Step 2. Wait for the V monitor to stabilize (see Table 12.1 for the V Monitor turn-on time).  
DD  
DD  
Note: This delay should be omitted if software contains routines which erase or  
write Flash memory.  
Step 3. Select the V monitor as a reset source (PORSF bit in RSTSRC = ‘1’).  
DD  
See Figure 12.2 for V monitor timing; note that the reset delay is not incurred after a V monitor reset.  
DD  
DD  
See Table 12.1 for complete electrical characteristics of the V monitor.  
DD  
Note: Software should take care not to inadvertently disable the V  
Monitor as a reset source  
DD  
when writing to RSTSRC to enable other reset sources or to trigger a software reset. All writes to  
RSTSRC should explicitly set PORSF to '1' to keep the V Monitor enabled as a reset source.

12.3. 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 12.1 for complete RST pin  
specifications. The PINRSF flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an external reset.  
12.4. 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 100 µs, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a  
MCD reset, the MCDRSF flag (RSTSRC.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 unaffected by this reset.  
12.5. Comparator 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-  
100  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
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.  
12.6. 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 “20.3. Watchdog Timer Mode” on  
page 201; 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.  
12.7. 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 above the Lock Byte address.  
A Flash read is attempted above user code space. This occurs when a MOVC operation targets an  
address above the Lock Byte address.  
A Program read is attempted above user code space. This occurs when user code attempts to branch  
to an address above the Lock Byte address.  
A Flash read, write or erase attempt is restricted due to a Flash security setting (see Section  
“13.4. Security Options” on page 110).  
A Flash write or erase is attempted while the V Monitor is disabled.  
DD  
The FERROR bit (RSTSRC.6) is set following a Flash error reset. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by  
this reset.  
12.8. 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.

13. 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 through the C2 interface or by software using the MOVX  
write 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  
operations is not required. Code execution is stalled during Flash write/erase operations. Refer to  
Table 13.2 for complete Flash memory electrical characteristics.  
13.1. Programming The Flash Memory  
The simplest means of programming the Flash memory is through the C2 interface using programming  
tools provided by Silicon Laboratories or a third party vendor. This is the only means for programming a  
non-initialized device. For details on the C2 commands to program Flash memory, see Section “22. C2  
Interface” on page 211.  
To protect the integrity of Flash contents, the V  
monitor must be enabled to the higher setting  
DD  
(VDMLVL = '1') and selected as a reset source if software contains routines which erase or write  
Flash memory. If the V monitor is not enabled, any erase or write performed on Flash memory  
DD  
will cause a Flash Error device reset.  
The V monitor must be enabled before it is selected as a reset source. Selecting the V monitor  
DD  
DD  
as a reset source before it is enabled and stabilized may cause a system reset. The procedure for re-  
enabling the V monitor and configuring the V monitor as a reset source is shown below:  
DD  
DD  
Step 1. Enable the V monitor (VDMEN bit in VDM0CN = ‘1’).  
DD  
Step 2. Wait for the V monitor to stabilize (see Table 12.1 for the V Monitor turn-on time).  
DD  
DD  
Note: This delay should be omitted if software contains routines which erase or  
write Flash memory.  
Step 3. Select the V monitor as a reset source (PORSF bit in RSTSRC = ‘1’).  
DD  
13.1.1. 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 13.2.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
105  
C8051F52x-53x  
13.1.2. 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: (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:  
Step 1. Disable interrupts (recommended).  
Step 2. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
Step 3. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
Step 4. Set the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 5. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 6. Using the MOVX instruction, write a data byte to any location within the 512-byte page to  
be erased.  
Step 7. Clear the PSWE and PSEE bits.  
Step 8. Re-enable interrupts.  
13.1.3. Flash Write Procedure  
Bytes in Flash memory can be written one byte at a time. The FLBWE bit in register PFE0CN (SFR Defini-  
tion 13.1) controls whether a single byte or a block of two bytes is written to Flash during a write operation.  
When FLBWE is cleared to ‘0’, the Flash will be written one byte at a time. When FLBWE is set to ‘1’, the  
Flash will be written in two-byte blocks. Block writes are performed in the same amount of time as single-  
byte writes, which can save time when storing large amounts of data to Flash memory.  
During a single-byte write to Flash, bytes are written individually, and a Flash write will be performed after  
each MOVX write instruction. The recommended procedure for writing Flash in single bytes is:  
Step 1. Disable interrupts.  
Step 2. Clear the FLBWE bit (register PFE0CN) to select single-byte write mode.  
Step 3. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
Step 4. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
Step 5. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 6. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 7. Using the MOVX instruction, write a single data byte to the desired location within the 512-  
byte sector.  
Step 8. Clear the PSWE bit.  
Step 9. Re-enable interrupts.  
Steps 3–8 must be repeated for each byte to be written.  
106  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
For block Flash writes, the Flash write procedure is only performed after the last byte of each block is writ-  
ten with the MOVX write instruction. A Flash write block is two bytes long, from even addresses to odd  
addresses. Writes must be performed sequentially (i.e. addresses ending in 0b and 1b must be written in  
order). The Flash write will be performed following the MOVX write that targets the address ending in 1b. If  
a byte in the block does not need to be updated in Flash, it should be written to 0xFF. The recommended  
procedure for writing Flash in blocks is:  
Step 1. Disable interrupts.  
Step 2. Set the FLBWE bit (register PFE0CN) to select block write mode.  
Step 3. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
Step 4. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
Step 5. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 6. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 7. Using the MOVX instruction, write the first data byte to the even block location (ending in  
0b).  
Step 8. Clear the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 9. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
Step 10. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
Step 11. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 12. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 13. Using the MOVX instruction, write the second data byte to the odd block location (ending  
in 1b).  
Step 14. Clear the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
Step 15. Re-enable interrupts.  
Steps 314 must be repeated for each block to be written.  
13.2. 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 V , system clock frequency, or temperature. This accidental execution of Flash modi-  
DD  
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.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
107  
C8051F52x-53x  
13.2.1. VDD Maintenance and the VDD monitor  
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. Make certain that the minimum V rise time specification of 1 ms is met. If the system cannot  
DD  
meet this rise time specification, then add an external V brownout circuit to the RST pin of  
DD  
the device that holds the device in reset until V  
drops below 2.7 V.  
reaches 2.7 V and re-asserts RST if V  
DD  
DD  
3. Enable the on-chip V monitor and enable the V monitor as a reset source as early in code  
DD  
DD  
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 V  
monitor and enabling the V  
monitor as a reset source. Code  
DD  
DD  
examples showing this can be found in “AN201: Writing to Flash from Firmware", available  
from the Silicon Laboratories web site.  
4. As an added precaution, explicitly enable the V  
monitor and enable the V  
monitor as a  
DD  
DD  
reset source inside the functions that write and erase Flash memory. The V monitor enable  
DD  
instructions should be placed just after the instruction to set PSWE to a '1', but before the  
Flash write or erase operation instruction.  
5. 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 exam-  
ple, "RSTSRC = 0x02" is correct. "RSTSRC |= 0x02" is incorrect.  
6. 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.  
108  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
13.2.2. PSWE Maintenance  
7. 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 rou-  
tine in code that sets PSWE and PSEE both to a '1' to erase Flash pages.  
8. 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.  
9. 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 ser-  
viced in priority order after the Flash operation has been completed and interrupts have been  
re-enabled by software.  
10. 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 dif-  
ferent memory areas.  
11. 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.  
13.2.3. System Clock  
12. 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.  
13. 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.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
109  
C8051F52x-53x  
13.3. 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.  
13.4. 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  
software 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 1’s 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 below.

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.  
Accessing Flash from the C2 debug interface:  
1. Any unlocked page may be read, written, or erased.  
2. Locked pages cannot be read, written, or erased.  
3. The page containing the Lock Byte may be read, written, or erased if it is unlocked.  
4. Reading the contents of the Lock Byte is always permitted only if no pages are locked.  
5. Locking additional pages (changing ‘1’s to ‘0’s in the Lock Byte) is not permitted.  
6. Unlocking Flash pages (changing ‘0’s to ‘1’s in the Lock Byte) requires the C2 Device Erase  
command, which erases all Flash pages including the page containing the Lock Byte and the  
Lock Byte itself.  
7. The Reserved Area cannot be read, written, or erased.  
Accessing Flash from user firmware executing from an unlocked page:  
1. Any unlocked page except the page containing the Lock Byte may be read, written, or erased.  
2. Locked pages cannot be read, written, or erased. An erase attempt on the page containing the  
Lock Byte will result in a Flash Error device reset.  
3. The page containing the Lock Byte cannot be erased. It may be read or written only if it is  
unlocked. An erase attempt on the page containing the Lock Byte will result in a Flash Error  
device reset.  
4. Reading the contents of the Lock Byte is always permitted.  
5. Locking additional pages (changing ‘1’s to ‘0’s in the Lock Byte) is not permitted.  
6. Unlocking Flash pages (changing ‘0’s to ‘1’s in the Lock Byte) is not permitted.  
7. The Reserved Area cannot be read, written, or erased. Any attempt to access the reserved  
area, or any other locked page, will result in a Flash Error device reset.  
Accessing Flash from user firmware executing from a locked page:  
1. Any unlocked page except the page containing the Lock Byte may be read, written, or erased.  
2. Any locked page except the page containing the Lock Byte may be read, written, or erased. An  
erase attempt on the page containing the Lock Byte will result in a Flash Error device reset.  
3. The page containing the Lock Byte cannot be erased. It may only be read or written. An  
erase attempt on the page containing the Lock Byte will result in a Flash Error device reset.  
4. Reading the contents of the Lock Byte is always permitted.  
5. Locking additional pages (changing ‘1’s to ‘0’s in the Lock Byte) is not permitted.  
6. Unlocking Flash pages (changing ‘0’s to ‘1’s in the Lock Byte) is not permitted.  
7. The Reserved Area cannot be read, written, or erased. Any attempt to access the reserved  
area, or any other locked page, will result in a Flash Error device reset.

14. Port Input/Output  
Digital and analog resources are available through up to 16 I/O pins. Port pins are organized as two or one  
byte-wide Ports. Each of the Port pins can be defined as general-purpose I/O (GPIO) or analog input/out-  
put; Port pins P0.0 - P1.7 can be assigned to one of the internal digital resources as shown in Figure 14.3.  
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 peripheral priority  
order of the Priority Decoder (Figure 14.3 and Figure 14.4). The registers XBR0 and XBR1, defined in SFR  
Definition 14.1 and SFR Definition 14.2, are used to select internal digital functions.

14.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder  
The Priority Crossbar Decoder (Figure 14.3) 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 will be assigned to pins P0.4 and P0.5). If a Port pin is assigned, the  
Crossbar skips that pin when assigning 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.  
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 P1.0 and/or P0.7 (‘F530) or P0.2  
and/or P0.3 (‘F5250) for the external oscillator, P0.0 for V , P1.2 (‘F530) or P0.5 (‘F530) for the external  
REF  
CNVSTR signal, 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. Figure 14.3 shows the Crossbar Decoder  
priority with no Port pins skipped (P0SKIP, P1SKIP); Figure 14.4 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with  
the XTAL1 (P1.0) and XTAL2 (P1.1) pins skipped (P1SKIP = 0x03).

Figure 14.6. Crossbar Priority Decoder with Crystal Pins Skipped (QFN 10)  
Registers XBR0 and XBR1 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); when the UART is selected, the Crossbar assigns both pins associated with the UART (TX and RX).  
UART0 pin assignments are fixed for bootloading purposes: UART TX0 is always assigned to P0.3 or  
P0.4*; UART RX0 is always assigned to P0.4 or P0.5*. Standard Port I/Os appear contiguously starting at  
P0.0 after prioritized functions and skipped pins are assigned.  
*Note: Refer to Section “21. Revision Specific Behavior” on page 209.

Important Note: The SPI can be operated in either 3-wire or 4-wire modes, depending on the state of the  
NSSMD1NSSMD0 bits in register SPI0CN. According to the SPI mode, the NSS signal may or may not  
be routed to a Port pin.  
14.2. Port I/O Initialization  
Port I/O initialization consists of the following steps:  
Step 1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all Port pins, using the Port Input Mode  
register (PnMDIN).  
Step 2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all Port pins, using the Port Output  
Mode register (PnMDOUT).  
Step 3. Select any pins to be skipped by the I/O Crossbar using the Port Skip registers (PnSKIP).  
Step 4. Assign Port pins to desired peripherals using the XBRn registers.  
Step 5. Enable the Crossbar (XBARE = ‘1’).  
All Port pins must be configured as either analog or digital inputs. 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 recommended.  
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 digital input, and a ‘0’ indicates an analog input. All pins default to digital inputs on reset. See SFR Defini-  
tion 14.4 for the PnMDIN register details.  
Important Note: Port 0 and Port 1 pins are 5.25 V tolerant across the operating range of V  
.
REGIN  
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. When the  
WEAKPUD bit in XBR1 is ‘0’, a weak pullup is enabled for all Port I/O configured as open-drain. WEAK-  
PUD does not affect the push-pull Port I/O. Furthermore, the weak pullup is turned off on an output that is  
driving a ‘0’ and for pins configured for analog input mode to avoid unnecessary power dissipation.  
Registers XBR0 and XBR1 must be loaded with the appropriate values to select the digital I/O functions  
required by the design. Setting the XBARE bit in XBR1 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.  
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.

14.3. General Purpose Port I/O  
Port pins that remain unassigned by the Crossbar and are not used by analog peripherals can be used for  
general purpose I/O. Ports P0P1 are accessed through corresponding special function registers (SFRs)  
that are both byte addressable and bit 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 register 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 individual 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.  
In addition to performing general purpose I/O, P0 and P1 can generate a port match event if the logic lev-  
els of the Port’s input pins match a software controlled value. A port match event is generated if  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
123  
C8051F52x-53x  
(P0 & P0MASK) does not equal (P0MATCH & P0MASK) or if (P1 & P1MASK) does not equal  
(P1MATCH & P1MASK). This allows Software to be notified if a certain change or pattern occurs on P0 or  
P1 input pins regardless of the XBRn settings. A port match event can cause an interrupt if EMAT (EIE2.1)  
is set to '1' or cause the internal oscillator to awaken from SUSPEND mode. See Section “15.1.1. Internal  
Oscillator Suspend Mode” on page 132 for more information.

15. Oscillators  
C8051F52x/53x devices include a programmable internal oscillator, an external oscillator drive circuit. The  
internal oscillator can be enabled/disabled and calibrated using the OSCICN and OSCICL registers, as  
shown in Figure 15.1. The system clock (SYSCLK) can be derived from the internal oscillator, external  
oscillator circuit. Oscillator electrical specifications are given in Table 15.1 on page 140.

15.1. Programmable Internal Oscillator  
All C8051F52x/53x devices include a programmable internal oscillator that defaults as the system clock  
after a system reset. The internal oscillator period can be programmed via the OSCICL register, shown in  
SFR Definition 15.2. On C8051F52x/53x devices, OSCICL and OSCIFIN are factory calibrated to obtain a  
24.5 MHz frequency.  
Electrical specifications for the precision internal oscillator are given in Table 15.1 on page 140. 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.

15.1.1. 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 internal 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.

15.2. 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 15.1. A  
10 Mresistor also must be wired across the XTAL1 and XTAL2 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 15.1. 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 15.4. OSCXCN: External Oscillator Control).  
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  
P0.7 and P1.0 (‘F53x) or P0.2 and P0.3 (‘F52x) are used as XTAL1 and XTAL2 respectively. When the  
external oscillator drive circuit is enabled in capacitor, RC, or CMOS clock mode, Port pin P1.0 (‘F530) or  
P0.3 (‘F52x) is used as XTAL2. The Port I/O Crossbar should be configured to skip the Port pins used by  
the oscillator circuit; see Section “14.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 117 for Crossbar configu-  
ration. 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 “14.2. Port I/O Initialization” on page 121 for  
details on Port input mode selection.  
15.2.1. Clocking Timers Directly Through the External Oscillator  
The external oscillator source divided by eight is a clock option for the timers (Section “19. Timers” on  
page 179) and the Programmable Counter Array (PCA) (Section “20. Programmable Counter Array  
(PCA0)” on page 193). When the external oscillator is used to clock these peripherals, but is not used as  
the system clock, the external oscillator frequency must be less than or equal to the system clock fre-  
quency. In this configuration, the clock supplied to the peripheral (external oscillator / 8) is synchronized  
with the system clock; the jitter associated with this synchronization is limited to ±0.5 system clock cycles.  
15.2.2. 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 15.1, Option 1. The External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN)  
should be chosen from the Crystal column of the table in SFR Definition 15.4. For example, a 12 MHz crys-  
tal requires an XFCN setting of 111b.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
135  
C8051F52x-53x  
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:  
Step 1. Configure XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins by writing ‘1' to the port latch.  
Step 2. Configure XTAL1 and XTAL2 as analog inputs.  
Step 3. Enable the external oscillator.  
Step 4. Wait at least 1 ms.  
Step 5. Poll for XTLVLD => '1'.  
Step 6. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.  
Note: Tuning-fork crystals may require additional settling time before XTLVLD returns a valid result.  
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 load capacitance depends upon the crystal and the manufacturer. Please refer to the crystal  
data sheet when completing these calculations.  
For example, a tuning-fork crystal of 32.768 Hz with a recommended load capacitance of 12.5 pF should  
use the configuration shown in Figure 15.1, 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 15.2.

Figure 15.2. 32.768 Hz External Crystal Example  
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.

Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
15.2.3. 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 15.1, 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. If the frequency desired is  
100 kHz, let R = 246 kand C = 50 pF:  
3
3
f = 1.23( 10 ) / RC = 1.23 ( 10 ) / [ 246 x 50 ] = 0.1 MHz = 100 kHz  
Referring to the table in SFR Definition 15.4, the required XFCN setting is 010b. Programming XFCN to a  
higher setting in RC mode will improve frequency accuracy at a slightly increased external oscillator supply  
current.  
15.2.4. External Capacitor Example  
If a capacitor is used as an external oscillator for the MCU, the circuit should be configured as shown in  
Figure 15.1, 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 fre-  
quency of oscillation and calculate the capacitance to be used from the equations below. Assume  
V
= 2.0 V and f = 75 kHz:  
DD  
f = KF / (C x V  
)
DD  
0.075 MHz = KF / (C x 2.0)  
Since the frequency of roughly 75 kHz is desired, select the K Factor from the table in SFR Definition 15.4  
as KF = 7.7:  
0.075 MHz = 7.7 / (C x 2.0)  
C x 2.0 = 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.

15.3. System Clock Selection  
The internal oscillator requires little start-up time and may be selected as the system clock immediately fol-  
lowing the OSCICN write that enables the internal oscillator. External crystals and ceramic resonators typ-  
ically 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 oscillator is settled. To avoid reading a  
false XTLVLD, in crystal mode software should delay at least 1 ms between enabling the external  
oscillator and checking XTLVLD. RC and C modes typically require no startup time.  
The CLKSL bit in register CLKSEL selects which oscillator source is used as the system clock. CLKSL  
must be set to ‘1’ for the system clock to run from the external oscillator; however the external oscillator  
may still clock certain peripherals (timers, PCA) when another oscillator is selected as the system clock.  
The system clock may be switched on-the-fly between the internal oscillator and external oscillator, as long  
as the selected clock source is enabled and has settled.

16. UART0  
UART0 is an asynchronous, full duplex serial port offering modes 1 and 3 of the standard 8051 UART.  
Enhanced baud rate support allows a wide range of clock sources to generate standard baud rates (details  
in Section “16.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation” on page 142). Received data buffering allows  
UART0 to start reception of a second incoming data byte before software has finished reading the previous  
data byte. (Please refer to Section “21. Revision Specific Behavior” on page 209 for more information  
on the pins associated with the UART interface.)  
UART0 has two associated SFRs: Serial Control Register 0 (SCON0) and Serial Data Buffer 0 (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).

16.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation  
The UART0 baud rate is generated by Timer 1 in 8-bit auto-reload mode. The TX clock is generated by  
TL1; the RX clock is generated by a copy of TL1 (shown as RX Timer in Figure 16.2), which is not user-  
accessible. Both TX and RX Timer overflows are divided by two to generate the TX and RX baud rates.  
The RX Timer runs when Timer 1 is enabled, and uses the same reload value (TH1). However, an  
RX Timer reload is forced when a START condition is detected on the RX pin. This allows a receive to  
begin any time a START is detected, independent of the TX Timer state.

Timer 1 should be configured for Mode 2, 8-bit auto-reload (see Section “19.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit  
Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload” on page 181). The Timer 1 reload value should be set so that over-  
flows will occur at two times the desired UART baud rate frequency. Note that Timer 1 may be clocked by  
one of six sources: SYSCLK, SYSCLK / 4, SYSCLK / 12, SYSCLK / 48, the external oscillator clock / 8, or  
an external input T1. The UART0 baud rate is determined by Equation 16.1-A and Equation 16.1-B.

16.2.1. 8-Bit UART  
8-Bit UART mode uses a total of 10 bits per data byte: one start bit, eight data bits (LSB first), and one stop  
bit. Data are transmitted LSB first from the TX0 pin and received at the RX0 pin. On receive, the eight data  
bits are stored in SBUF0 and the stop bit goes into RB80 (SCON0.2).  
Data transmission begins when software writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit Inter-  
rupt Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data recep-  
tion 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 loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met:  
RI0 must be logic 0, and if MCE0 is logic 1, the stop bit must be logic 1. In the event of a receive data over-  
run, the first received 8 bits are latched into the SBUF0 receive register and the following overrun data bits  
are lost.  
If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data is stored in SBUF0, the stop bit is stored in RB80 and the  
RI0 flag is set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not  
be set. An interrupt will occur if enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set.

16.2.2. 9-Bit UART  
9-bit UART mode uses a total of eleven bits per data byte: a start bit, 8 data bits (LSB first), a programma-  
ble ninth data bit, and a stop bit. The state of the ninth transmit data bit is determined by the value in TB80  
(SCON0.3), which is assigned by user software. It can be assigned the value of the parity flag (bit P in reg-  
ister PSW) for error detection, or used in multiprocessor communications. On receive, the ninth data bit  
goes into RB80 (SCON0.2) and the stop bit is ignored.  
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit  
Interrupt Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data  
reception can begin any time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to ‘1’. After the stop bit  
is received, the data byte will be loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met:  
(1) RI0 must be logic 0, and (2) if MCE0 is logic 1, the 9th bit must be logic 1 (when MCE0 is logic 0, the  
state of the ninth data bit is unimportant). If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data are stored in  
SBUF0, the ninth bit is stored in RB80, and the RI0 flag is set to ‘1’. If the above conditions are not met,  
SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not be set to ‘1’. A UART0 interrupt will occur if  
enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set to ‘1’.

16.3. Multiprocessor Communications  
9-Bit UART mode supports multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more  
slave processors by special use of the ninth 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 ninth bit is logic 1; in a data byte, the ninth bit is always set to logic 0.  
Setting the MCE0 bit (SCON0.5) of a slave processor configures its UART such that when a stop bit is  
received, the UART will generate an interrupt only if the ninth bit is logic 1 (RB80 = 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 8-bit 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 transmis-  
sions 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).

17. LIN (C8051F520/523/526/530/533/536 only)  
LIN is an asynchronous, serial communications interface used primarily in automotive networks. This doc-  
ument assumes previous knowledge of the interface. For more information about the LIN concept including  
specifications please refer to the LIN consortium (http://www.lin-subbus.org/).  
17.1. Major Characteristics  
Silicon Laboratories LIN peripheral implements a complete LIN interface and presents the following fea-  
tures:  
1. Selectable Master and Slave Modes  
2. Unique Self-Synchronization without a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator in both Master and  
Slave modes. Silicon Laboratories innovative internal oscillator design technology allows the  
oscillator to reach 0.5% precision across the entire supply voltage and temperature range.  
3. Fully configurable transmission/reception characteristics via SFRs  
Important: The minimum system clock (SYSCLK) to be used when using the LIN peripheral is  
of 8 MHz.  
The following Figure describes LIN main blocks.

C8051F52x-53x  
The LIN peripheral is made of four major logic groups:  
LIN Interface Registers - Provide the interface between the microcontroller core and the peripheral.  
Data Buffer - Contains the registers where transmitted and received message data bytes are placed  
Registers Block - Contain all registers used to control the functionality of the interface  
Control State Machine and Bit Streaming Logic - Contains the hardware the serializes messages and  
the timing control of the peripheral.  
The LIN module does not directly support LIN Version 1.3 Extended Frames. In the case of a slave config-  
uration if the application detects an extended frame it has to write a ‘1’ to the STOP bit (LINCTRL) instead  
of setting the DTACK bit (steps 1b...1e can then be skipped). In that case the LIN peripheral stops the pro-  
cessing of the LIN communication until the next SYNC BREAK is received.  
17.2. Software Interface with the LIN Peripheral  
The communication with the LIN interface is done indirectly through a pair of registers called LINADDR  
and LINDATA and the Selection of the mode (Master or Slave) and the automatic baud rate feature are  
done though the LINCF register. To write into a specific register other than these three ones require the  
user to first load the LINADDR register with the address of the required LIN register and then load the data  
to be transferred to the register using LINDATA.

Bit4:  
IDLTOUT: Bus Idle Timeout.(slave mode only)  
This bit is set by the peripheral if no bus activity is detected over a period of 4 seconds and  
the SLEEP bit in the LINCTRL (LIN Control Register) is not set by the application. Upon set-  
ting this bit the peripheral also set the interrupt Request Bit (LININT) and the applications  
can then assume that the LIN bus is in sleep mode and set the SLEEP bit.  
ABORT: Aborted transmission signal.(slave mode only)  
This bit is set by the peripheral when a new SYNCH BREAK signal is detected before the  
end of the last transmission. The transmission is aborted and the new frame is processed.  
This bit is also set when the application sets the STOP bit (from LINCTRL). Once a SYNCH  
BREAK signal is received (if it doesn’t interrupt another transmission) this signal is reset.  
DTREQ: Data Request bit.(slave mode only)  
The peripheral sets this bit after receiving the Identifier and requests an interrupt. The appli-  
cation has then to perform the following actions:  
1- Decode the Identifier to decide whether the current frame is a transmit or a receive opera-  
tion.  
2- Adjust the TXRX bit (in LINCTRL) and to load the data length.  
3- In case of a transmit operation the application must load the data buffer.  
4- Set the DTACK bit (data acknowledge) found in the LINCTRL register.  
LININT: Interrupt Request bit.  
This bit is set when an interrupt is issued and has to be reset by the application by setting  
the RSTINT bit (LINCTRL)  
ERROR: Communication Error Bit.  
The peripheral sets the bit if an error has been detected. The bit has to be reset by the appli-  
cation by setting the RSTERR bit (LINCTRL).

17.4. Bit Timing  
The LIN bit rate is based on the SYSCLK and the Bit-Timing Registers according to the following equation:  
(prescaler + 1)  
f
= SYSCLK (MHz) / (2  
x divider x (multiplier+1))  
bit  
The divider factor must be in the range of 200 to 511 and the SYSCLK must be at least of 8 MHz in order  
to achieve the tolerances required by the LIN protocol. Also the procedure to adjust the Bit-Timing registers  
is different between master mode, slave mode with automatic bit-rate detection and slave without bit-rate  
detection.

17.4.3. LIN Master Mode Operation  
The operation setup of the LIN peripheral in Master mode requires that the LIN bus is not active (ACTIVE  
bit in LINST register set to ‘0’).  
The master is responsible for the schedule of the messages. It sends the header of each frame that con-  
tains SYNC BREAK FIELD, SYNC FIELD and IDENTIFIER FIELD. The steps for scheduling a message  
frame are explained in the following paragraphs.  
1. Load the 6-bit Identifier into the ID register (LINID).  
2. Load the “data length” in the LINSIZE register (number of data bytes or value “1111b” if the data length  
should be decoded from the identifier) and set the checksum type (classic or enhanced, defined by the  
ENHCHK bit also in the LINSIZE register).  
3. Adjust the TXRX bit (LINCTRL.5):  
“1” - If the current frame is a transmit operation for the master.  
“0” – If the current frame is a receive operation for the master.  
4. Load the data bytes to transmit into the data buffer (LINDT1 to LINDT8 and transmit operation only).  
5. The STREQ bit (LINCTRL) is set to start the message transfer. After that the LIN peripheral schedules  
the message frame and request an interrupt if the message transfer is successfully completed or if an error  
is occurred.  
6. The following steps have to be performed by the application when an interrupt is requested.  
6a. Check the DONE bit and the ERROR bit (LINST)  
6b. Load the received data from the data buffer if the transfer was successful (for receive operation only).  
6c. 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.  
6d. Set the RSTINT and RSTERR bits in the status register (LINST) to reset the interrupt request and the  
error flags.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
161  
C8051F52x-53x  
17.4.4. LIN Slave Mode Operation  
Once the Baud rate has been selected and the checksum type selected (classic or enhanced) the LIN  
peripheral can start receiving messages.  
Access from application to data buffer and ID registers of the LIN core slave is possible when a data  
request is pending (DTREQ bit in LINST register is ‘1’) and also when the LIN bus is not active (ACTIVE bit  
in LINST register set to ‘0’).  
The LIN peripheral 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.  
An interrupt is requested after the reception of the IDENTIFIER FIELD, when an error is detected or when  
the message transfer is completed.  
The following steps have to be done by the application when an interrupt is requested.  
1. Check the DTREQ bit in the status register (LINST) is set.(set when the IDENTIFIER FIELD  
has been received). If set then:  
2. Load the identifier from the LINID register and process it  
3. Adjust the TXRX bit in the control register (LINCTRL) (set to “1” if the current frame is a trans-  
mit operation for the slave and set to “0” if the current frame is a receive operation for the  
slave)  
4. Load the “data length” in the LINSIZE register (number of data bytes or value “1111b” if the  
data length should be decoded from the identifier)  
5. Load the data to transmit into the data buffer. (for transmit operation only)  
6. Set the DTACK bit in the LINCTRL register.  
Notes:  
1. Steps 1a...1e have to be done during the IN-FRAME RESPONSE SPACE, if the current frame is a transmit  
operation for the slave; otherwise a timeout will be detected by the master. If the current frame is a receive  
operation for the slave, steps 1a...1e have to be finished until the reception of the first byte after the  
IDENTIFIER FIELD. Otherwise, the internal receive buffer of the LIN peripheral will be overwritten and a  
timeout error will be detected in the LIN peripheral.  
2. If the application detects an unknown identifier (e.g. extended identifier) it has to write a ‘1’ to the STOP bit  
(LINCTRL) instead of setting the DTACK bit (steps 1b...1e can then be skipped). In that case the LIN peripheral  
stops the processing of the LIN communication until the next SYNC BREAK is received.  
3. Changing the setup of the checksum (classic to enhanced or vice versa) during a transaction will cause the  
interface to reset and the transaction to be lost. Therefore no change in the checksum should be performed  
while there is a transaction in progress.  
4. The same applies to changes in the LIN interface mode from slave mode to master mode and from master  
mode to slave mode.  
5. Check the DONE bit in the status register if the DTREQ bit is not set. The transmission was successful if the  
DONE bit is set.  
6. 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. Else check the error register (LINERR) to determine the kind of error.  
Further error handling has to be done by the application.  
7. Set the RSTINT and RSTERR bits in the status register (LINCTRL) to reset the interrupt request and the error  
flags.

C8051F52x-53x  
17.4.5. Sleep Mode and Wake-Up  
To reduce the systems power consumption the LIN Protocol Specification defines a Sleep Mode. The mes-  
sage used to broadcast a Sleep Mode request has to be started by the LIN master application in the same  
way as a normal transmit message. The LIN slave application has to decode the Sleep Mode Frame from  
Identifier and data bytes. After that, it has to put the LIN slave node into the Sleep Mode by setting the  
SLEEP bit in the control register (LINCTRL).  
If the SLEEP bit in the control register (LINCTRL) of the LIN slave application is not set and there is no bus  
activity for 4 s (specified bus idle timeout) the IDLTOUT bit in the status register (LINST) is set and an  
interrupt request is generated. After that the application may assume that the LIN bus is in Sleep Mode and  
set the SLEEP bit in the control register (LINCTRL).  
Sending a Wakeup signal from the master or any slave node terminates the Sleep Mode of the LIN bus. To  
send a Wakeup signal, the application has to set the WUPREQ bit in the status register (LINST). After suc-  
cessful transmission of the wakeup signal the DONE bit in the status register (LINST) of the master node is  
set and an interrupt request is generated. The LIN slave does not generate an interrupt request after suc-  
cessful transmission of the Wakeup signal but it generates an interrupt request if the master does not  
respond to the Wakeup signal within 150 ms. In that case the ERROR bit in status register (LINST) and  
TOUT bit in LINERR register are set. The application has to decide whether to transmit another Wakeup  
signal or not.  
All LIN nodes that detect a wakeup signal will set the WAKEUP bit in status register (LINST) and generate  
an interrupt request. After that, the application has to reset the SLEEP bit in the control register of the LIN  
slave.  
17.4.6. Error Detection and Handling  
The LIN peripheral 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 the error register (LINERR).  
After that, it has to reset the error register (LINERR) and the ERROR bit in status register (LINST) by writ-  
ing a ‘1’ to the RSTERR bit in the control register (LINCTRL). Starting a new message with the LIN periph-  
eral selected as master or sending a Wakeup signal with the LIN peripheral selected as a master or slave  
is possible only if ERROR bit in status register is set to ‘0’.

18. Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)  
The 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 multiple mas-  
ters 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 conten-  
tion 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 general pur-  
pose port I/O pins can be used to select multiple slave devices in master mode.

18.1. Signal Descriptions  
The four signals used by SPI0 (MOSI, MISO, SCK, NSS) are described below.  
18.1.1. 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.  
18.1.2. 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.  
18.1.3. 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.  
18.1.4. 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 18.2, Figure 18.3, and Figure 18.4 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 “14. Port Input/Output” on page 115 for general purpose  
port I/O and crossbar information.  
166  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
18.2. 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 data 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 18.2 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 18.3  
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 18.4 shows a connection diagram for a master device in  
4-wire master mode and two slave devices.

18.3. 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 into the shift register,  
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.  
168  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
C8051F52x-53x  
The shift register contents are locked after the slave detects the first edge of SCK. Writes to SPI0DAT that  
occur after the first SCK edge will be held in the TX latch until the end of the current 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 18.4 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 not a 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 18.3 shows a connection diagram between a slave device in 3-  
wire slave mode and a master device.  
18.4. SPI0 Interrupt Sources  
When SPI0 interrupts are enabled, the following four flags will generate an interrupt when they are set to  
logic 1:  
Note that all of the following interrupt 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  
in 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 while 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.  
18.5. Serial Clock Timing  
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 a rising edge or a falling edge.  
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 are shown in Figure 18.5.  
The SPI0 Clock Rate Register (SPI0CKR) as shown in SFR Definition 18.3 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,  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
169  
C8051F52x-53x  
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.

19. Timers  
Each MCU includes three counter/timers: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found in the  
standard 8051, and one is a 16-bit auto-reload timer for use with other device peripherals 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 oper-  
ation. Timer 2 offer 16-bit and split 8-bit timer functionality with auto-reload.  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 Modes:  
13-bit counter/timer  
Timer 2 Modes:  
16-bit timer with auto-reload  
16-bit counter/timer  
8-bit counter/timer with auto-reload  
Two 8-bit counter/timers  
(Timer 0 only)  
Two 8-bit timers 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 19.3 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 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's frequency can be counted. The input signal need not be peri-  
odic, but it must be held at a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure the level is  
properly sampled.  
19.1. 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 register  
(Section “11.4. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 91); Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled by set-  
ting the ET1 bit in the IE register (Section 11.4). 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.  
19.1.1. 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.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
179  
C8051F52x-53x  
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  
“14.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 117 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 19.3).  
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 11.5. IT01CF: INT0/INT1  
Configuration). Setting GATE0 to ‘1’ allows the timer to be controlled by the external input signal /INT0 (see  
Section “11.4. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 91), 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 11.5. IT01CF: INT0/INT1 Configuration).

19.1.2. 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  
counter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 1 in the same manner as for Mode 0.  
19.1.3. 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 “11.5. External Interrupts” on page 95  
for details on the external input signals /INT0 and /INT1).

19.1.4. 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  
counter/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 UART. While Timer 0 is oper-  
ating in Mode 3, Timer 1 run control is handled through its mode settings. 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.

19.2. 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 can also be used in Capture Mode to measure the RTC0 clock fre-  
quency or the External Oscillator clock frequency.  
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 oscillator source divided by 8 is synchronized with the system clock.  
19.2.1. 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 19.4,  
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.

19.2.2. 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 19.5. 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.

19.2.3. External Capture Mode  
Capture Mode allows either the external oscillator to be measured against the system clock. The external  
oscillator clock can also be compared against each other. Timer 2 can be clocked from the system clock,  
the system clock divided by 12, the external oscillator divided by 8, depending on the T2ML (CKCON.4),  
T2XCLK, and T2RCLK settings. The timer will capture either every 8 eternal clock cycles, depending on  
the T2RCLK setting. 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. By recording the  
difference between two successive timer capture values, the external oscillator 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.

20. Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)  
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 three 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 (See Section “14.1. Priority  
Crossbar Decoder” on page 117 for details on configuring the Crossbar). 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 overflow, or an  
external clock signal on the ECI input pin. Each capture/compare module may be configured to operate  
independently in one of three modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software Timer, High-Speed Output, Fre-  
quency Output, 8-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each mode is described in Section “20.2. Capture/Compare  
Modules” on page 195). The PCA is configured and controlled through the system controller's Special  
Function Registers. The PCA block diagram is shown in Figure 20.1  
Important Note: The PCA Module 2 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.

20.1. 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 CPS2-CPS0 bits in the PCA0MD  
register select the timebase for the counter/timer as shown in Table 20.1.  
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 (Note: PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before CF interrupts are recognized. PCA0 interrupts  
are globally enabled by setting the EA bit (IE.7) and the EPCA0 bit in EIE1 to logic 1). Clearing the CIDL bit

20.2. 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-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 20.2 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn registers used to select the PCA capture/com-  
pare module’s operating modes. Setting the ECCFn bit in a PCA0CPMn register enables the module's  
CCFn interrupt. Note: PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before individual CCFn interrupts are rec-  
ognized. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by setting the EA bit and the EPCA0 bit to logic 1. See  
Figure 20.3 for details on the PCA interrupt configuration.

20.2.1. Edge-triggered Capture Mode  
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes the PCA to capture the value of the PCA  
counter/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 and an interrupt request is generated if CCF interrupts are enabled. The CCFn  
bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service 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 falling-edge caused  
the capture.

20.2.2. 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 and an interrupt request is generated if CCF interrupts are enabled. The CCFn bit  
is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must  
be cleared by software. Setting the ECOMn and MATn bits in the PCA0CPMn register 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’.

PCA0CPLn) Setting the TOGn, MATn, and ECOMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables the High-

20.2.4. 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 20.1.

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. Fre-

20.2.5. 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
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. The  
duty cycle of the PWM output signal is varied using the module's PCA0CPHn capture/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 20.8). 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  
enables 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator mode. The duty cycle for 8-Bit PWM Mode is given by Equation 20.2.  
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’.

---------------------------------------------------  
DutyCycle =

Equation 20.2. 8-Bit PWM Duty Cycle  
Using Equation 20.2, 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’.

20.2.6. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. In this mode, the 16-bit capture/compare mod-  
ule defines the number of PCA clocks for the low time of the PWM signal. When the PCA counter matches  
the module contents, the output on CEXn is asserted high; when the counter overflows, CEXn is asserted  
low. To output a varying duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with PCA CCFn match inter-  
rupts. 16-Bit PWM Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn  
register. For a varying duty cycle, match interrupts should be enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help  
synchronize the capture/compare register writes. The duty cycle for 16-Bit PWM Mode is given by  
Equation 20.3.  
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’.

Using Equation 20.3, the largest duty cycle is 100% (PCA0CPn = 0), and the smallest duty cycle is

20.3. Watchdog Timer Mode  
A programmable watchdog timer (WDT) function is available through the PCA Module 2. The WDT is used  
to generate a reset if the time between writes to the WDT update register (PCA0CPH2) 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 2 operates as a watchdog timer (WDT). The  
Module 2 high byte is compared to the PCA counter high byte; the Module 2 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.  
Preliminary Rev. 0.2  
201  
C8051F52x-53x  
20.3.1. 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 (CPS2-CPS0) are frozen.  
PCA Idle control bit (CIDL) is frozen.  
Module 2 is forced into software timer mode.  
Writes to the Module 2 mode register (PCA0CPM2) 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 (CR) will read zero if the WDT is enabled but user  
software has not enabled the PCA counter. If a match occurs between PCA0CPH2 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 PCA0CPH2. Upon a PCA0CPH2 write, PCA0H plus the offset held in PCA0CPL2 is loaded  
into PCA0CPH2 (See Figure 20.10).

Note that the 8-bit offset held in PCA0CPH2 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 20.4, where PCA0L is the value of the PCA0L register  
at the time of the update.  
Offset = (256 × PCA0CPL2) + (256 – PCA0L)  
Equation 20.4. Watchdog Timer Offset in PCA Clocks  
The WDT reset is generated when PCA0L overflows while there is a match between PCA0CPH2 and  
PCA0H. Software may force a WDT reset by writing a ‘1’ to the CCF2 flag (PCA0CN.2) while the WDT is  
enabled.  
20.3.2. 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 CPS2-CPS0 bits).  
Load PCA0CPL2 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’.  
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 PCA0CPL2 defaults to 0x00. Using Equation 20.4, this results in a WDT  
timeout interval of 3072 system clock cycles. Table 20.3 lists some example timeout intervals for typical  
system clocks.

21. Revision Specific Behavior  
This chapter contains behavioral differences between C8051F52x/F53x "REV_A" and “REV_B" or later  
devices.  
These differences do not affect the functionality or performance of most systems and are described below.  
21.1. Revision Identification  
The Lot ID Code on the top side of the device package can be used for decoding device revision informa-  
tion. On C8051F52x and C8051F53x devices the revision letter is the first letter of the Lot ID Code.  
Figures 21.1, 21.2, and 21.3 show how to find the Lot ID Code on the top side of the device package.

21.2. Reset Behavior  
The reset behavior of C8051F52x and C8051F53x "REV A" devices is different than "REV B" and later  
devices. The differences affect the state of the RST pin during a VDD Monitor reset.  
On "REV A" devices, a V Monitor reset does not affect the state of the RST pin. On "REV B" and later  
DD  
devices, a V Monitor reset will pull the RST pin low for the duration of the brownout condition.  
DD  
21.3. UART Pins  
The reset behavior of C8051F52x and C8051F53x "REV A" devices is different than "REV B" and later  
devices. The location of the pins used by the serial UART interface is different between "REV A" and "REV  
B" devices.  
On "REV A" devices, the TX and RX pins used by the UART interface are mapped to the P0.3 (TX) and  
P0.4 (RX) pins. On "REV B" and later devices, the TX and RX pins used by the UART interface are  
mapped to the P0.4 (TX) and P0.5 (RX) pins.  
21.4. LIN  
The LIN peripheral behavior in "REV A" is different than the behavior of "REV B" and later devices. The  
differences are:  
21.4.1. Stop Bit Check  
On "REV A" devices, the stop bits of the fields in the LIN frame are not checked and no error is generated  
if the stop bits could not be sent or received correctly. On "REV B" and later devices, the stop bits are  
checked, and an error will be generated if the stop bit was not sent or received correctly.  
21.4.2. Synch Break and Synch Field Length Check  
On "REV A" devices, the check of sync field length versus sync break length is incorrect. On "REV B" and  
later devices, the sync break length must be larger than 10 bit times (of the measured bit time) to enable  
the synchronization.

22. C2 Interface  
C8051F52x/F53x devices include an on-chip Silicon Laboratories 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow  
Flash programming and in-system debugging with the production part installed in the end application. The  
C2 interface 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.  
22.1. C2 Interface Registers  
The following describes the C2 registers necessary to perform Flash programming functions through the  
C2 interface. All C2 registers are accessed through the C2 interface as described in the C2 Interface Spec-  
ification.

22.2. C2 Pin Sharing  
The C2 protocol allows the C2 pins to be shared with user functions so that in-system debugging and  
Flash programming functions 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 (P2.7) pins. In most  
applications, external resistors are required to isolate C2 interface traffic from the user application. A typi-  
cal isolation configuration is shown in Figure 22.1.

Figure 22.1. Typical C2 Pin Sharing  
The configuration in Figure 22.1 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.
