C8051F92x devices are truly stand-alone System-on-a-Chip solutions. The Flash memory can be repro-  
grammed even in-circuit, providing non-volatile data storage, and also allowing field upgrades of the 8051  
firmware. User software has complete control of all peripherals, and may individually shut down any or all  
peripherals for power savings.  
The on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) Development Interface allows non-intrusive (uses no on-chip  
resources), full speed, in-circuit debugging using the production MCU installed in the final application. This  
debug logic supports inspection and modification of memory and registers, setting breakpoints, single  
stepping, run and halt commands. All analog and digital peripherals are fully functional while debugging  
using C2. The two C2 interface pins can be shared with user functions, allowing in-system debugging with-  
out occupying package pins.  
Each device is specified for 0.9 to 1.8 V or 1.8 to 3.6 V operation over the industrial temperature range  
(–40 to +85 °C). The Port I/O and RST pins are tolerant of input signals up to 5 V. The C8051F930/20 are  
available in 32-pin QFN or LQFP packages and the C8051F931/21 are available in a 24-pin QFN package.  
Both package options are lead-free and RoHS compliant. See Table 2.1 for ordering information. Block  
diagrams are included in Figure 1.1 through Figure 1.4.

C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
1.1. CIP-51™ Microcontroller Core  
1.1.1. Fully 8051 Compatible  
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x family utilizes Silicon Labs' 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 CIP-51 core offers 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 with a maximum system clock of 12-to-24 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51 core exe-  
cutes 70% of its instructions in one or two system clock cycles, with only four instructions taking more than  
four system clock cycles.  
The CIP-51 has a total of 109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instructions that  
require each execution time.

With the CIP-51's maximum system clock at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS.  
1.1.3. Additional Features  
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x SoC family includes several key enhancements to the CIP-51 core and  
peripherals to improve performance and ease of use in end applications.  
The extended interrupt handler provides multiple interrupt sources into the CIP-51 allowing numerous ana-  
log and digital peripherals to interrupt the controller. An interrupt driven system requires less intervention  
by the MCU, giving it more effective throughput. The extra interrupt sources are very useful when building  
multi-tasking, real-time systems.  
Eight reset sources are available: power-on reset circuitry (POR), an on-chip V  
monitor (forces reset  
DD  
when power supply voltage drops below safe levels), a Watchdog Timer, a Missing Clock Detector,  
SmaRTClock oscillator fail or alarm, a voltage level detection from Comparator0, 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 dis-  
abled in software after a power-on reset during MCU initialization.  
The internal oscillator factory calibrated to 24.5 MHz and is accurate to ±2% over the full temperature and  
supply range. The internal oscillator period can also be adjusted by user firmware. An additional 20 MHz  
low power oscillator is also available which facilitates low-power operation. An external oscillator drive cir-  
cuit is included, allowing an external crystal, ceramic resonator, capacitor, RC, or CMOS clock source to  
generate the system clock. If desired, the system clock source may be switched on-the-fly between both  
internal and external oscillator circuits. An external oscillator can also be extremely useful in low power  
applications, allowing the MCU to run from a slow (power saving) source, while periodically switching to  
the fast (up to 25 MHz) internal oscillator as needed.

1.2. Port Input/Output  
Digital and analog resources are available through 24 I/O pins (C8051F930/20) or 16 I/O pins  
(C8051F931/21). Port pins are organized as three byte-wide ports. Port pins P0.0–P2.6 can be defined as  
digital or analog I/O. Digital I/O pins can be assigned to one of the internal digital resources or used as  
general purpose I/O (GPIO). Analog I/O pins are used by the internal analog resources. P2.7 can be used  
as GPIO and is shared with the C2 Interface Data signal (C2D). See Section “27. C2 Interface” on  
page 324 for more details.  
The designer has complete control over which digital and analog functions are assigned to individual Port  
pins, limited only by the number of physical I/O pins. This resource assignment flexibility is achieved  
through the use of a Priority Crossbar Decoder. See Section “21.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on  
page 221 for more information on the Crossbar.  
All Port I/Os are 5 V tolerant when used as digital inputs or open-drain outputs. For Port I/Os configured as  
push-pull outputs, current is sourced from the VDD/DC+ supply. Port I/Os used for analog functions can  
operate up to the VDD/DC+ supply voltage. See Section “21.1. Port I/O Modes of Operation” on page 217  
for more information on Port I/O operating modes and the electrical specifications chapter for detailed elec-  
trical specifications.

1.3. Serial Ports  
2
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x Family includes an SMBus/I C interface, a full-duplex UART with enhanced  
baud rate configuration, and two Enhanced SPI interfaces. 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.  
1.4. Programmable Counter Array  
An on-chip Programmable Counter/Timer Array (PCA) is included in addition to the four 16-bit general pur-  
pose counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer time base with six programma-  
ble capture/compare modules. The PCA clock is derived from one of six sources: the system clock divided  
by 12, the system clock divided by 4, Timer 0 overflows, an External Clock Input (ECI), the system clock, or  
the external oscillator clock source divided by 8.  
Each capture/compare module can be configured to operate in a variety of modes: edge-triggered capture,  
software timer, high-speed output, pulse width modulator (8, 9, 10, 11, or 16-bit), or frequency output. Addi-  
tionally, Capture/Compare Module 5 offers watchdog timer (WDT) capabilities. Following a system reset,  
Module 5 is configured and enabled in WDT mode. The PCA Capture/Compare Module I/O and External  
Clock Input may be routed to Port I/O via the Digital Crossbar.

1.5. 10-Bit SAR ADC with 16-bit Auto-Averaging Accumulator and Autonomous  
Low Power Burst Mode  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices have a 300 ksps, 10-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC  
with integrated track-and-hold and programmable window detector. ADC0 also has an autonomous low  
power Burst Mode which can automatically enable ADC0, capture and accumulate samples, then place  
ADC0 in a low power shutdown mode without CPU intervention. It also has a 16-bit accumulator that can  
automatically average the ADC results, providing an effective 11, 12, or 13 bit ADC result without any addi-  
tional CPU intervention.  
The ADC can sample the voltage at any of the GPIO pins (with the exception of P2.7) and has an on-chip  
attenuator that allows it to measure voltages up to twice the voltage reference. Additional ADC inputs  
include an on-chip temperature sensor, the VDD/DC+ supply voltage, the VBAT supply voltage, and the  
internal digital supply voltage.

1.6. Programmable Current Reference (IREF0)  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an on-chip programmable current reference (source or sink) with  
two output current settings: low power mode and high current mode. The maximum current output in low  
power mode is 63 µA (1 µA steps) and the maximum current output in high current mode is 504 µA (8 µA  
steps).  
1.7. Comparators  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include two on-chip programmable voltage comparators: Comparator 0  
(CPT0) which is shown in Figure 1.9; Comparator 1 (CPT1) which is shown in Figure 1.10. The two  
comparators operate identically but may differ in their ability to be used as reset or wake-up sources. See  
Section “18. Reset Sources” on page 184 and the Section “14. Power Management” on page 159 for  
details on reset sources and low power mode wake-up sources, respectively.  
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, CP1), or an  
asynchronous “raw” output (CP0A, CP1A). The asynchronous CP0A signal is available even when the  
system clock is not active. This allows the Comparator to operate and generate an output when the device  
is in some low power modes.  
The comparator inputs may be connected to Port I/O pins or to other internal signals. Port pins may also be  
used to directly sense capacitive touch switches.

Notes:  
1. Based on device characterization data; Not production tested.  
2. SYSCLK must be at least 32 kHz to enable debugging.  
3. Digital Supply Current depends upon the particular code being executed. The values in this table are obtained with  
the CPU executing an “sjmp $” loop, which is the compiled form of a while(1) loop in C. One iteration requires 3  
CPU clock cycles, and the Flash memory is read on each cycle. The supply current will vary slightly based on the  
physical location of the sjmp instruction and the number of Flash address lines that toggle as a result. In the worst  
case, current can increase by up to 30% if the sjmp loop straddles a 128-byte Flash address boundary (e.g.,  
0x007F to 0x0080). Real-world code with larger loops and longer linear sequences will have few transitions across  
the 128-byte address boundaries.  
4. Includes oscillator and regulator supply current.  
5. IDD can be estimated for frequencies <10 MHz by simply multiplying the frequency of interest by the frequency  
sensitivity number for that range, then adding an offset of 90 µA. When using these numbers to estimate IDD for  
>10 MHz, the estimate should be the current at 25 MHz minus the difference in current indicated by the frequency  
sensitivity number. For example: VDD = 3.0 V; F = 20 MHz, IDD = 4.1 mA – (25 MHz –  
20 MHz) x 0.120 mA/MHz = 3.5 mA.  
6. The supply current specifications in Table 4.2 are for two cell mode. The VBAT current in one-cell mode can be  
estimated using the following equation:  
Supply Voltage Supply Current (two-cell mode)  
DC-DC Converter Efficiency VBAT Voltage  
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
VBAT Current (one-cell mode) =  
The VBAT Voltage is the voltage at the VBAT pin, typically 0.9 to 1.8 V.  
The Supply Current (two-cell mode) is the data sheet specification for supply current.  
The Supply Voltage is the voltage at the VDD/DC+ pin, typically 1.8 to 3.3 V (default = 1.9 V).  
The DC-DC Converter Efficiency can be estimated using Figure 4.3–Figure 4.5.  
7. Idle IDD can be estimated by taking the current at 25 MHz minus the difference in current indicated by the  
frequency sensitivity number. For example: VDD = 3.0 V; F = 5 MHz, Idle IDD = 2.5 mA – (25 MHz –  
5 MHz) x 0.095 mA/MHz = 0.6 mA.

5. 10-Bit SAR ADC with 16-bit Auto-Averaging Accumulator and  
Autonomous Low Power Burst Mode  
The ADC0 on the C8051F93x-C8051F92x is a 300 ksps, 10-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR)  
ADC with integrated track-and-hold and programmable window detector. ADC0 also has an autonomous  
low power Burst Mode which can automatically enable ADC0, capture and accumulate samples, then  
place ADC0 in a low power shutdown mode without CPU intervention. It also has a 16-bit accumulator that  
can automatically oversample and average the ADC results.  
The ADC is fully configurable under software control via Special Function Registers. The ADC0 operates in  
Single-ended mode and may be configured to measure various different signals using the analog multi-  
plexer described in “5.5. ADC0 Analog Multiplexer” on page 84. The voltage reference for the ADC is  
selected as described in “5.7. Voltage and Ground Reference Options” on page 89.

5.1. Output Code Formatting  
The registers ADC0H and ADC0L contain the high and low bytes of the output conversion code from the  
ADC at the completion of each conversion. Data can be right-justified or left-justified, depending on the  
setting of the AD0SJST[2:0]. When the repeat count is set to 1, conversion codes are represented as 10-  
bit unsigned integers. Inputs are measured from 0 to VREF x 1023/1024. Example codes are shown below  
for both right-justified and left-justified data. Unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to 0.

When the repeat count is greater than 1, the output conversion code represents the accumulated result of  
the conversions performed and is updated after the last conversion in the series is finished. Sets of 4, 8,  
16, 32, or 64 consecutive samples can be accumulated and represented in unsigned integer format. The  
repeat count can be selected using the AD0RPT bits in the ADC0AC register. When a repeat count higher  
than 1, the ADC output must be right-justified (AD0SJST = 0xx); unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L  
registers are set to 0. The example below shows the right-justified result for various input voltages and  
n
repeat counts. Accumulating 2 samples is equivalent to left-shifting by n bit positions when all samples  
returned from the ADC have the same value.

The AD0SJST bits can be used to format the contents of the 16-bit accumulator. The accumulated result  
can be shifted right by 1, 2, or 3 bit positions. Based on the principles of oversampling and averaging, the  
effective ADC resolution increases by 1 bit each time the oversampling rate is increased by a factor of 4.  
The example below shows how to increase the effective ADC resolution by 1, 2, and 3 bits to obtain an  
effective ADC resolution of 11-bit, 12-bit, or 13-bit respectively without CPU intervention.

5.2. Modes of Operation  
ADC0 has a maximum conversion speed of 300 ksps. The ADC0 conversion clock (SARCLK) is a divided  
version of the system clock when Burst Mode is disabled (BURSTEN = 0), or a divided version of the low  
power oscillator when Burst Mode is enabled (BURSEN = 1). The clock divide value is determined by the  
AD0SC bits in the ADC0CF register.  
5.2.1. Starting a Conversion  
A conversion can be initiated in one of five ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC0 Start  
of Conversion Mode bits (AD0CM20) in register ADC0CN. Conversions may be initiated by one of the fol-  
lowing:  
1. Writing a 1 to the AD0BUSY bit of register ADC0CN  
2. A Timer 0 overflow (i.e., timed continuous conversions)  
3. A Timer 2 overflow  
4. A Timer 3 overflow  
5. A rising edge on the CNVSTR input signal (pin P0.6)  
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). 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.  
When Timer 2 or Timer 3 overflows are used as the conversion source, Low Byte overflows are used if  
Timer 2/3 is in 8-bit mode; High byte overflows are used if Timer 2/3 is in 16-bit mode. See “25. Timers” on  
page 283 for timer configuration.  
Important Note About Using CNVSTR: The CNVSTR input pin also functions as Port pin P0.6. When the  
CNVSTR input is used as the ADC0 conversion source, Port pin P0.6 should be skipped by the Digital  
Crossbar. To configure the Crossbar to skip P0.6, set to 1 Bit 6 in register P0SKIP. See “21. Port Input/Out-  
put” on page 216 for details on Port I/O configuration.  
Important Note: When operating the device in one-cell mode, there is an option available to automatically  
synchronize the start of conversion with the quietest portion of the dc-dc converter switching cycle. Activat-  
ing this option may help to reduce interference from internal or external power supply noise generated by  
the dc-dc converter. Asserting this bit will hold off the start of an ADC conversion initiated by any of the  
methods described above until the ADC receives a synchronizing signal from the dc-dc converter. The  
delay in initiation of the conversion can be as much as one cycle of the dc-dc converter clock, which is  
625 ns at the minimum dc-dc clock frequency of 1.6 MHz. For rev C and later C8051F93x-92x devices, the  
synchronization feature also causes the dc-dc converter clock to be used as the ADC0 conversion clock.  
The maximum conversion rate will be limited to approximately 170 ksps at the maximum dc-dc converter  
clock rate of 3.2 MHz. In this mode, the ADC0 SAR Conversion Clock Divider must be set to 1 by setting  
AD0SC[4:0] = 00000b in SFR register ADC0CF. To provide additional flexibility in minimizing noise, the  
ADC0 conversion clock provided by the dc-dc converter can be inverted by setting the AD0CKINV bit in the  
DC0CF register. For additional information on the synchronization feature, see the description of the SYNC  
bit in “SFR Definition 16.1. DC0CN: DC-DC Converter Control” on page 181 and the description of the  
AD0CKINV bit in “SFR Definition 16.2. DC0CF: DC-DC Converter Configuration” on page 182. This bit  
must be set to 0 in two-cell mode for the ADC to operate.  
Rev. 1.3

C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
5.2.2. Tracking Modes  
Each ADC0 conversion must be preceded by a minimum tracking time in order for the converted result to  
be accurate. The minimum tracking time is given in Table 4.9. The AD0TM bit in register ADC0CN controls  
the ADC0 track-and-hold mode. In its default state when Burst Mode is disabled, the ADC0 input is contin-  
uously tracked, except when a conversion is in progress. When the AD0TM bit is logic 1, ADC0 operates in  
low-power track-and-hold mode. In this mode, each conversion is preceded by a tracking period of 3 SAR  
clocks (after the start-of-conversion signal). When the CNVSTR signal is used to initiate conversions in  
low-power tracking mode, ADC0 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins on the rising edge of  
CNVSTR (see Figure 5.2). Tracking can also be disabled (shutdown) when the device is in low power  
standby or sleep modes. Low-power track-and-hold mode is also useful when AMUX settings are fre-  
quently changed, due to the settling time requirements described in “5.2.4. Settling Time Requirements” on  
page 73.

5.2.3. Burst Mode  
Burst Mode is a power saving feature that allows ADC0 to remain in a low power state between conver-  
sions. When Burst Mode is enabled, ADC0 wakes from a low power state, accumulates 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, or  
64 using an internal burst mode clock (approximately 25 MHz), then re-enters a low power state. Since the  
burst mode clock is independent of the system clock, ADC0 can perform multiple conversions then enter a  
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 5.3 shows an exam-  
ple of Burst Mode Operation with a slow system clock and a repeat count of 4.  
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.  
In Burst Mode, tracking is determined by the settings in AD0PWR and AD0TK. The default settings for  
these registers will work in most applications without modification; however, settling time requirements may  
need adjustment in some applications. Refer to “5.2.4. Settling Time Requirements” on page 73 for more  
details.  
Notes:  
Setting AD0TM to 1 will insert an additional 3 SAR clocks of tracking before each conversion, regardless of the  
settings of AD0PWR and AD0TK.  
When using Burst Mode, care must be taken to issue a convert start signal no faster than once every four SYS-  
CLK periods. This includes external convert start signals.  
A rising edge of external start-of-conversion (CNVSTR) will cause only one ADC conversion in Burst  
Mode, regardless of the value of the Repeat Count field. The end-of-conversion interrupt will occur  
after the number of conversions specified in Repeat Count have completed. In other words, if Repeat  
Count is set to 4, four pulses on CNVSTR will cause an ADC end-of-conversion interrupt. Refer to the  
bottom portion of Figure 5.3, “Burst Mode Tracking Example with Repeat Count Set to 4,” on page 72  
for an example.  
To start multiple conversions in Burst Mode with one external start-of-conversion signal, the external  
interrupts (/INT0 or /INT1) or Port Match can be used to trigger an ISR that writes to AD0BUSY. Exter-  
nal interrupts are configurable to be active low or active high, edge or level sensitive, but is only avail-  
able on a limited number of pins. Port Match is only level sensitive, but is available on more port pins  
than the external interrupts. Refer to Section “12.6. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1” on  
page 146 for details on external interrupts and Section “21.4. Port Match” on page 227 for details on  
Port Match.

5.2.4. Settling Time Requirements  
A minimum amount of tracking time is required before each conversion can be performed, to allow the  
sampling capacitor voltage to settle. This tracking time is determined by the AMUX0 resistance, the ADC0  
sampling capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required for the conversion. Note  
that in low-power tracking mode, three SAR clocks are used for tracking at the start of every conversion.  
For many applications, these three SAR clocks will meet the minimum tracking time requirements, and  
higher values for the external source impedance will increase the required tracking time.  
Figure 5.4 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 4.9 for ADC0 minimum settling time require-

5.2.5. Gain Setting  
The ADC has gain settings of 1x and 0.5x. In 1x mode, the full scale reading of the ADC is determined  
directly by V . In 0.5x mode, the full-scale reading of the ADC occurs when the input voltage is V  
x 2.

5.3. 8-Bit Mode  
Setting the ADC08BE bit in register ADC0CF to 1 will put the ADC in 8-bit mode.In 8-bit mode, only the  
8 MSBs of data are converted, allowing the conversion to be completed in two fewer SAR clock cycles  
than a 10-bit conversion. This can result in an overall lower power consumption since the system can  
spend more time in a low power mode. The two LSBs of a conversion are always 00 in this mode, and the  
ADC0L register will always read back 0x00.

5.4. Programmable Window Detector  
The ADC Programmable Window Detector continuously compares the ADC0 output registers to user-  
programmed limits, and notifies the system when a desired condition is detected. This is especially  
effective in an interrupt-driven system, saving code space and CPU bandwidth while delivering faster  
system response times. The window detector interrupt flag (AD0WINT in register ADC0CN) can also be  
used in polled mode. The ADC0 Greater-Than (ADC0GTH, ADC0GTL) and Less-Than (ADC0LTH,  
ADC0LTL) registers hold the comparison values. The window detector flag can be programmed to indicate  
when measured 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. ADC0 Analog Multiplexer  
ADC0 on C8051F93x-C8051F92x has an analog multiplexer, referred to as AMUX0.  
AMUX0 selects the positive inputs to the single-ended ADC0. Any of the following may be selected as the  
positive input: Port I/O pins, the on-chip temperature sensor, the VBAT Power Supply, Regulated Digital  
Supply Voltage (Output of VREG0), VDD/DC+ Supply, or the positive input may be connected to GND. The  
ADC0 input channels are selected in the ADC0MX register described in SFR Definition 5.12.

Important Note About ADC0 Input Configuration: Port pins selected as ADC0 inputs should be  
configured 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 and disable the digital driver (PnMDOUT =  
0 and Port Latch = 1). To force the Crossbar to skip a Port pin, set to 1 the corresponding bit in register  
PnSKIP. See Section “21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 for more Port I/O configuration details.

5.6. Temperature Sensor  
An on-chip temperature sensor is included on the C8051F93x-C8051F92x which can be directly accessed  
via the ADC multiplexer in single-ended configuration. To use the ADC to measure the temperature sensor,  
the ADC mux channel should select the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor transfer function is  
shown in Figure 5.8. The output voltage (V  
) is the positive ADC input when the ADC multiplexer is set  
TEMP  
correctly. The TEMPE bit in register REF0CN enables/disables the temperature sensor, as described in  
SFR Definition 5.15. While disabled, the temperature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any  
ADC measurements performed on the sensor will result in meaningless data. Refer to Table 4.9 for the  
slope and offset parameters of the temperature sensor.  
Important Note: Before switching the ADC multiplexer from another channel to the temperature sensor,  
the ADC mux should select the 'Ground' channel as an intermediate step. The intermediate 'Ground'  
channel selection step will discharge any voltage on the ADC sampling capacitor from the previous  
channel selection. This will prevent the possibility of a high voltage (> 2V) being presented to the  
temperature sensor circuit, which can otherwise impact its long-term reliability.

5.6.1. Calibration  
The uncalibrated temperature sensor output is extremely linear and suitable for relative temperature  
measurements (see Table 4.10 for linearity specifications). For absolute temperature measurements,  
offset and/or gain calibration is recommended. Typically a 1-point (offset) calibration includes the following  
steps:  
Step 1. Control/measure the ambient temperature (this temperature must be known).  
Step 2. Power the device, and delay for a few seconds to allow for self-heating.  
Step 3. Perform an ADC conversion with the temperature sensor selected as the positive input  
and GND selected as the negative input.  
Step 4. Calculate the offset characteristics, and store this value in non-volatile memory for use  
with subsequent temperature sensor measurements.  
Figure 5.9 shows the typical temperature sensor error assuming a 1-point calibration at 25 °C.  
Parameters that affect ADC measurement, in particular the voltage reference value, will also affect  
temperature measurement.  
A single-point offset measurement of the temperature sensor is performed on each device during  
production test. The measurement is performed at 25 °C ±5 °C, using the ADC with the internal high speed  
reference buffer selected as the Voltage Reference. The direct ADC result of the measurement is stored in  
the SFR registers TOFFH and TOFFL, shown in SFR Definition 5.13 and SFR Definition 5.14.

5.7. Voltage and Ground Reference Options  
The voltage reference MUX is configurable to use an externally connected voltage reference, one of two  
internal voltage references, or one of two power supply voltages (see Figure 5.10). The ground reference  
MUX allows the ground reference for ADC0 to be selected between the ground pin (GND) or a port pin  
dedicated to analog ground (P0.1/AGND).  
The voltage and ground reference options are configured using the REF0CN SFR described on page 91.  
Electrical specifications are can be found in the Electrical Specifications Chapter.  
Important Note About the V  
and AGND Inputs: Port pins are used as the external V  
and AGND  
REF  
REF  
inputs. When using an external voltage reference or the internal precision reference, P0.0/VREF should be  
configured as an analog input and skipped by the Digital Crossbar. When using AGND as the ground  
reference to ADC0, P0.1/AGND should be configured as an analog input and skipped by the Digital  
Crossbar. Refer to Section “21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 for complete Port I/O configuration details.  
The external reference voltage must be within the range 0 V  
VDD/DC+ and the external ground  
REF  
reference must be at the same DC voltage potential as GND.

5.8. External Voltage References  
To use an external voltage reference, REFSL[1:0] should be set to 00 and the internal 1.68 V precision ref-  
erence should be disabled by setting REFOE to 0. Bypass capacitors should be added as recommended  
by the manufacturer of the external voltage reference.  
5.9. Internal Voltage References  
For applications requiring the maximum number of port I/O pins, or very short VREF turn-on time, the  
1.65 V high-speed reference will be the best internal reference option to choose. The high speed internal  
reference is selected by setting REFSL[1:0] to 11. When selected, the high speed internal reference will be  
automatically enabled/disabled on an as-needed basis by ADC0.  
For applications requiring the highest absolute accuracy, the 1.68 V precision voltage reference will be the  
best internal reference option to choose. The 1.68 V precision reference may be enabled and selected by  
setting REFOE to 1 and REFSL[1:0] to 00. An external capacitor of at least 0.1 µF is recommended when  
using the precision voltage reference.  
In applications that leave the precision internal oscillator always running, there is no additional power  
required to use the precision voltage reference. In all other applications, using the high speed reference  
will result in lower overall power consumption due to its minimal startup time and the fact that it remains in  
a low power state when an ADC conversion is not taking place.  
Note: When using the precision internal oscillator as the system clock source, the precision volt-  
age reference should not be enabled from a disabled state. To use the precision oscillator and the  
precision voltage reference simultaneously, the precision voltage reference should be enabled first  
and allowed to settle to its final value (charging the external capacitor) before the precision oscilla-  
tor is started and selected as the system clock.  
For applications with a non-varying power supply voltage, using the power supply as the voltage reference  
can provide ADC0 with added dynamic range at the cost of reduced power supply noise rejection. To use  
the 1.8 to 3.6 V power supply voltage (V /DC+) or the 1.8 V regulated digital supply voltage as the refer-  
DD  
ence source, REFSL[1:0] should be set to 01 or 10, respectively.  
5.10. Analog Ground Reference  
To prevent ground noise generated by switching digital logic from affecting sensitive analog measure-  
ments, a separate analog ground reference option is available. When enabled, the ground reference for  
ADC0 during both the tracking/sampling and the conversion periods is taken from the P0.1/AGND pin. Any  
external sensors sampled by ADC0 should be referenced to the P0.1/AGND pin. This pin should be con-  
nected to the ground terminal of any external sensors sampled by ADC0. If an external voltage reference is  
used, the P0.1/AGND pin should be connected to the ground of the external reference and its associated  
decoupling capacitor. If the 1.68 V precision internal reference is used, then P0.1/AGND should be con-  
nected to the ground terminal of its external decoupling capacitor. The separate analog ground reference  
option is enabled by setting REFGND to 1. Note that when sampling the internal temperature sensor, the  
internal chip ground is always used for the sampling operation, regardless of the setting of the REFGND  
bit. Similarly, whenever the internal 1.65 V high-speed reference is selected, the internal chip ground is  
always used during the conversion period, regardless of the setting of the REFGND bit.  
5.11. Temperature Sensor Enable  
The TEMPE bit in register REF0CN enables/disables the temperature sensor. While disabled, the temper-  
ature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any ADC0 measurements performed on the sensor  
result in meaningless data. See Section “5.6. Temperature Sensor” on page 86 for details on temperature  
sensor characteristics when it is enabled.

6. Programmable Current Reference (IREF0)  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an on-chip programmable current reference (source or sink) with  
two output current settings: Low Power Mode and High Current Mode. The maximum current output in Low  
Power Mode is 63 µA (1 µA steps) and the maximum current output in High Current Mode is 504 µA (8 µA  
steps).  
The current source/sink is controlled though the IREF0CN special function register. It is enabled by setting  
the desired output current to a non-zero value. It is disabled by writing 0x00 to IREF0CN. The port I/O pin  
associated with ISRC0 should be configured as an analog input and skipped in the Crossbar. See Section  
“21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 for more details.

7. Comparators  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include two on-chip programmable voltage comparators: Comparator 0  
(CPT0) is shown in Figure 7.1; Comparator 1 (CPT1) is shown in Figure 7.2. The two comparators operate  
identically, but may differ in their ability to be used as reset or wake-up sources. See the Reset Sources  
chapter and the Power Management chapter for details on reset sources and low power mode wake-up  
sources, respectively.  
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, CP1), or an  
asynchronous “raw” output (CP0A, CP1A). The asynchronous CP0A signal is available even when the  
system clock is not active. This allows the Comparator to operate and generate an output when the device  
is in some low power modes.  
7.1. Comparator Inputs  
Each Comparator performs an analog comparison of the voltage levels at its positive (CP0+ or CP1+) and  
negative (CP0- or CP1-) input. Both comparators support multiple port pin inputs multiplexed to their posi-  
tive and negative comparator inputs using analog input multiplexers. The analog input multiplexers are  
completely under software control and configured using SFR registers. See Section “7.6. Comparator0 and  
Comparator1 Analog Multiplexers” on page 100 for details on how to select and configure Comparator  
inputs.  
Important Note About Comparator Inputs: The Port pins selected as Comparator inputs should be con-  
figured as analog inputs and skipped by the Crossbar. See the Port I/O chapter for more details on how to  
configure Port I/O pins as Analog Inputs. The Comparator may also be used to compare the logic level of  
digital signals, however, Port I/O pins configured as digital inputs must be driven to a valid logic state  
(HIGH or LOW) to avoid increased power consumption.

7.2. Comparator Outputs  
When a comparator is enabled, its output is a logic 1 if the voltage at the positive input is higher than the  
voltage at the negative input. When disabled, the comparator output is a logic 0. The comparator output is  
synchronized with the system clock as shown in Figure 7.2. The synchronous “latched” output (CP0, CP1)  
can be polled in software (CPnOUT bit), used as an interrupt source, or routed to a Port pin through the  
Crossbar.  
The asynchronous “raw” comparator output (CP0A, CP1A) is used by the low power mode wakeup logic  
and reset decision logic. See the Power Options chapter and the Reset Sources chapter for more details  
on how the asynchronous comparator outputs are used to make wake-up and reset decisions. The  
asynchronous comparator output can also be routed directly to a Port pin through the Crossbar, and is  
available for use outside the device even if the system clock is stopped.  
When using a Comparator as an interrupt source, Comparator interrupts can be generated on rising-edge  
and/or falling-edge comparator output transitions. Two independent interrupt flags (CPnRIF and CPnFIF)  
allow software to determine which edge caused the Comparator interrupt. The comparator rising-edge and  
falling-edge interrupt flags are set by hardware when a corresponding edge is detected regardless of the  
interrupt enable state. Once set, these bits remain set until cleared by software.  
The rising-edge and falling-edge interrupts can be individually enabled using the CPnRIE and CPnFIE  
interrupt enable bits in the CPTnMD register. In order for the CPnRIF and/or CPnFIF interrupt flags to gen-  
erate an interrupt request to the CPU, the Comparator must be enabled as an interrupt source and global  
interrupts must be enabled. See the Interrupt Handler chapter for additional information.

7.3. Comparator Response Time  
Comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPTnMD registers described on  
“CPT0MD: Comparator 0 Mode Selection” on page 97 and “CPT1MD: Comparator 1 Mode Selection” on  
page 99. Four response time settings are available: Mode 0 (Fastest Response Time), Mode 1, Mode 2,  
and Mode 3 (Lowest Power). Selecting a longer response time reduces the Comparator active supply  
current. The Comparators also have low power shutdown state, which is entered any time the comparator  
is disabled. Comparator rising edge and falling edge response times are typically not equal. See  
Table 4.13 on page 64 for complete comparator timing and supply current specifications.  
7.4. Comparator Hysterisis  
The Comparators feature software-programmable hysterisis that can be used to stabilize the comparator  
output while a transition is occurring on the input. Using the CPTnCN registers, 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 (i.e., the comparator negative input).  
Figure 7.3 shows that when positive hysterisis is enabled, the comparator output does not transition from  
logic 0 to logic 1 until the comparator positive input voltage has exceeded the threshold voltage by an  
amount equal to the programmed hysterisis. It also shows that when negative hysterisis is enabled, the  
comparator output does not transition from logic 1 to logic 0 until the comparator positive input voltage has  
fallen below the threshold voltage by an amount equal to the programmed hysterisis.  
The amount of positive hysterisis is determined by the settings of the CPnHYP bits in the CPTnCN register  
and the amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CPnHYN bits in the  
same register. Settings of 20 mV, 10 mV, 5 mV, or 0 mV can be programmed for both positive and negative  
hysterisis. See Section “Table 4.13. Comparator Electrical Characteristics” on page 64 for complete  
comparator hysterisis specifications.

7.5. Comparator Register Descriptions  
The SFRs used to enable and configure the comparators are described in the following register  
descriptions. A Comparator must be enabled by setting the CPnEN bit to logic 1 before it can be used.  
From an enabled state, a comparator can be disabled and placed in a low power state by clearing the  
CPnEN bit to logic 0.  
Important Note About Comparator Settings: False rising and falling edges can be detected by the  
Comparator while powering 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. The Comparator Power Up  
Time is specified in Section “Table 4.13. Comparator Electrical Characteristics” on page 64.

7.6. Comparator0 and Comparator1 Analog Multiplexers  
Comparator0 and Comparator1 on C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices have analog input multiplexers to con-  
nect Port I/O pins and internal signals the comparator inputs; CP0+/CP0- are the positive and negative  
input multiplexers for Comparator0 and CP1+/CP1- are the positive and negative input multiplexers for  
Comparator1.  
The comparator input multiplexers directly support capacitive touch switches. When the Capacitive Touch  
Sense Compare input is selected on the positive or negative multiplexer, any Port I/O pin connected to the  
other multiplexer can be directly connected to a capacitive touch switch with no additional external compo-  
nents. The Capacitive Touch Sense Compare provides the appropriate reference level for detecting when  
the capacitive touch switches have charged or discharged through the on-chip Rsense resistor. The Com-  
parator outputs can be routed to Timer2 or Timer3 for capturing sense capacitor’s charge and discharge  
time. See Section “25. Timers” on page 283 for details.  
Any of the following may be selected as comparator inputs: Port I/O pins, Capacitive Touch Sense Com-  
pare, VDD/DC+ Supply Voltage, Regulated Digital Supply Voltage (Output of VREG0), the VBAT Supply  
voltage or ground. The Comparator’s supply voltage divided by 2 is also available as an input; the resistors  
used to divide the voltage only draw current when this setting is selected. The Comparator input multiplex-  
ers are configured using the CPT0MX and CPT1MX registers described in SFR Definition 7.5 and SFR  
Definition 7.6.

Important Note About Comparator Input Configuration: Port pins selected as comparator inputs should  
be configured 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 and disable the digital driver (PnMDOUT =  
0 and Port Latch = 1). To force the Crossbar to skip a Port pin, set to 1 the corresponding bit in register  
PnSKIP. See Section “21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 for more Port I/O configuration details.

8. CIP-51 Microcontroller  
The MCU system controller core is the CIP-51 microcontroller. The CIP-51 is fully compatible with the  
MCS-51™ instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop soft-  
ware. The MCU family has a superset of all the peripherals included with a standard 8051. The CIP-51  
also includes on-chip debug hardware (see description in Section 27), and interfaces directly with the ana-  
log and digital subsystems providing a complete data acquisition or control-system solution in a single inte-  
grated circuit.  
The CIP-51 Microcontroller core implements the standard 8051 organization and peripherals as well as  
additional custom peripherals and functions to extend its capability (see Figure 8.1 for a block diagram).  
The CIP-51 includes the following features:  
- Fully Compatible with MCS-51 Instruction  
Set  
- Extended Interrupt Handler  
- Reset Input  
- 25 MIPS Peak Throughput with 25 MHz  
Clock  
- Power Management Modes  
- On-chip Debug Logic  
- 0 to 25 MHz Clock Frequency  
- Program and Data Memory Security  
Performance  
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the stan-  
dard 8051 architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system  
clock cycles to execute, and usually have a maximum system clock of 12 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51  
core executes 70% of its instructions in one or two system clock cycles, with no instructions taking more  
than eight system clock cycles.

Programming and Debugging Support  
In-system programming of the Flash program memory and communication with on-chip debug support  
logic is accomplished via the Silicon Labs 2-Wire Development Interface (C2).  
The on-chip debug support logic facilitates full speed in-circuit debugging, allowing the setting of hardware  
breakpoints, starting, stopping and single stepping through program execution (including interrupt service  
routines), examination of the program's call stack, and reading/writing the contents of registers and mem-  
ory. This method of on-chip debugging is completely non-intrusive, requiring no RAM, Stack, timers, or  
other on-chip resources. C2 details can be found in Section “27. C2 Interface” on page 324.  
The CIP-51 is supported by development tools from Silicon Labs and third party vendors. Silicon Labs pro-  
vides an integrated development environment (IDE) including editor, debugger and programmer. The IDE's  
debugger and programmer interface to the CIP-51 via the C2 interface to provide fast and efficient in-sys-  
tem device programming and debugging. Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also avail-  
able.  
8.1. 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.  
8.1.1. 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 one less clock  
cycle to complete when the branch is not taken as opposed to when the branch is taken. Table 8.1 is the  
CIP-51 Instruction Set Summary, which includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock  
cycles for each instruction.

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

9. Memory Organization  
The memory organization of the CIP-51 System Controller is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are  
two separate memory spaces: program memory and data memory. Program and data memory share the  
same address space but are accessed via different instruction types. The memory organization of the  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x device family is shown in Figure 9.1

9.1. Program Memory  
The CIP-51 core has a 64 kB program memory space. The C8051F93x-C8051F92x implements 64 kB  
(C8051F930/1) or 32 kB (C8051F920/1) of this program memory space as in-system, re-programmable  
Flash memory, organized in a contiguous block from addresses 0x0000 to 0xFBFF (C8051F930/1) or  
0x7FFF (C8051F920/1). The address 0xFBFF (C8051F930/1) or 0x7FFF (C8051F920/1) serves as the  
security lock byte for the device. Any addresses above the lock byte are reserved.

9.1.1. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory  
The MOVX instruction in an 8051 device is typically used to access external data memory. On the  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices, the MOVX instruction is normally used to read and write on-chip XRAM,  
but can be re-configured to write and erase on-chip Flash memory space. MOVC instructions are always  
used to read Flash memory, while MOVX write instructions are used to erase and write Flash. This Flash  
access feature provides a mechanism for the C8051F93x-C8051F92x to update program code and use  
the program memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Section “13. Flash Memory” on  
page 148 for further details.  
Rev. 1.3  
113  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
9.2. Data Memory  
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x device family includes 4352 bytes of RAM data memory. 256 bytes of this  
memory is mapped into the internal RAM space of the 8051. 4096 bytes of this memory is on-chip “exter-  
nal” memory. The data memory map is shown in Figure 9.1 for reference.  
9.2.1. Internal RAM  
There are 256 bytes of internal RAM mapped into the data memory space from 0x00 through 0xFF. The  
lower 128 bytes of data memory are used for general purpose registers and scratch pad memory. Either  
direct or indirect addressing may be used to access the lower 128 bytes of data memory. Locations 0x00  
through 0x1F are addressable as four banks of general purpose registers, each bank consisting of eight  
byte-wide registers. The next 16 bytes, locations 0x20 through 0x2F, may either be addressed as bytes or  
as 128 bit locations accessible with the direct addressing mode.  
The upper 128 bytes of data memory are accessible only by indirect addressing. This region occupies the  
same address space as the Special Function Registers (SFR) but is physically separate from the SFR  
space. The addressing mode used by an instruction when accessing locations above 0x7F determines  
whether the CPU accesses the upper 128 bytes of data memory space or the SFRs. Instructions that use  
direct addressing will access the SFR space. Instructions using indirect addressing above 0x7F access the  
upper 128 bytes of data memory. Figure 9.1 illustrates the data memory organization of the C8051F93x-  
C8051F92x.  
9.2.1.1. General Purpose Registers  
The lower 32 bytes of data memory, locations 0x00 through 0x1F, may be addressed as four banks of gen-  
eral-purpose registers. Each bank consists of eight byte-wide registers designated R0 through R7. Only  
one of these banks may be enabled at a time. Two bits in the program status word, RS0 (PSW.3) and RS1  
(PSW.4), select the active register bank (see description of the PSW in SFR Definition 8.6). This allows  
fast context switching when entering subroutines and interrupt service routines. Indirect addressing modes  
use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.  
9.2.1.2. Bit Addressable Locations  
In addition to direct access to data memory organized as bytes, the sixteen data memory locations at 0x20  
through 0x2F are also accessible as 128 individually addressable bits. Each bit has a bit address from  
0x00 to 0x7F. Bit 0 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x00 while bit7 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address  
0x07. Bit 7 of the byte at 0x2F has bit address 0x7F. A bit access is distinguished from a full byte access by  
the type of instruction used (bit source or destination operands as opposed to a byte source or destina-  
tion).  
The MCS-51™ assembly language allows an alternate notation for bit addressing of the form XX.B where  
XX is the byte address and B is the bit position within the byte. For example, the instruction:  
MOV  
C, 22.3h  
moves the Boolean value at 0x13 (bit 3 of the byte at location 0x22) into the Carry flag.

Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
9.2.1.3. Stack  
A programmer's stack can be located anywhere in the 256-byte data memory. The stack area is desig-  
nated using the Stack Pointer (SP) SFR. The SP will point to the last location used. The next value pushed  
on the stack is placed at SP+1 and then SP is incremented. A reset initializes the stack pointer to location  
0x07. Therefore, the first value pushed on the stack is placed at location 0x08, which is also the first regis-  
ter (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if more than one register bank is to be used, the SP should be initialized  
to a location in the data memory not being used for data storage. The stack depth can extend up to  
256 bytes.  
9.2.2. External RAM  
There are 4096 bytes of on-chip RAM mapped into the external data memory space. All of these address  
locations may be accessed using the external move instruction (MOVX) and the data pointer (DPTR), or  
using MOVX indirect addressing mode (such as @R1) in combination with the EMI0CN register. Additional  
off-chip memory or memory-mapped devices may be mapped to the external memory address space and  
accessed using the external memory interface. See Section “10. External Data Memory Interface and On-  
Chip XRAM” on page 116 for further details.  
Rev. 1.3  
115  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
10. External Data Memory Interface and On-Chip XRAM  
The C8051F92x-C8051F93x MCUs include on-chip RAM mapped into the external data memory space  
(XRAM). 32-pin devices (C8051F930 and C8051F920) also have an External Data Memory Interface  
which can be used to access off-chip memories and memory-mapped devices connected to the GPIO  
ports. The external memory space may be accessed using the external move instruction (MOVX) with the  
target address specified in either the data pointer (DPTR), or with the target address low byte in R0 or R1  
and the target address high byte in the External Memory Interface Control Register (EMI0CN, shown in  
SFR Definition 10.1).  
When using the MOVX instruction to access on-chip RAM, no additional initialization is required and the  
MOVX instruction execution time is as specified in the CIP-51 chapter. When using the MOVX instruction  
to access off-chip RAM or memory-mapped devices, then both the Port I/O and EMIF should be configured  
for communication with external devices (See Section 10.2) and MOVX instruction timing is based on the  
value programmed in the External Memory Interface Timing Control Register (EMI0TC, see “External  
Memory Interface Timing” on page 121).  
Important Note: MOVX write operations can be configured to target Flash memory, instead of XRAM. See  
Section “13. Flash Memory” on page 148 for more details. The MOVX instruction accesses XRAM by  
default.  
10.1. Accessing XRAM  
The XRAM memory space is accessed using the MOVX instruction. The MOVX instruction has two forms,  
both of which use an indirect addressing method. The first method uses the Data Pointer, DPTR, a 16-bit  
register which contains the effective address of the XRAM location to be read from or written to. The  
second method uses R0 or R1 in combination with the EMI0CN register to generate the effective XRAM  
address. Examples of both of these methods are given below.  
10.1.1. 16-Bit MOVX Example  
The 16-bit form of the MOVX instruction accesses the memory location pointed to by the contents of the  
DPTR register. The following series of instructions reads the value of the byte at address 0x1234 into the  
accumulator A:  
MOV  
MOVX  
DPTR, #1234h  
A, @DPTR  
; load DPTR with 16-bit address to read (0x1234)  
; load contents of 0x1234 into accumulator A  
The above example uses the 16-bit immediate MOV instruction to set the contents of DPTR. Alternately,  
the DPTR can be accessed through the SFR registers DPH, which contains the upper 8-bits of DPTR, and  
DPL, which contains the lower 8-bits of DPTR.  
10.1.2. 8-Bit MOVX Example  
The 8-bit form of the MOVX instruction uses the contents of the EMI0CN SFR to determine the upper 8-bits  
of the effective address to be accessed and the contents of R0 or R1 to determine the lower 8-bits of the  
effective address to be accessed. The following series of instructions read the contents of the byte at  
address 0x1234 into the accumulator A.  
MOV  
MOV  
MOVX  
EMI0CN, #12h  
R0, #34h  
a, @R0  
; load high byte of address into EMI0CN  
; load low byte of address into R0 (or R1)  
; load contents of 0x1234 into accumulator A

10.2. Configuring the External Memory Interface for Off-Chip Access  
Configuring the External Memory Interface for off-chip memory space access consists of four steps:  
1. Configure the Output Modes of the associated port pins as either push-pull or open-drain  
(push-pull is most common) and skip the associated pins in the Crossbar (if necessary).  
See Section “21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 to determine which port pins are associated  
with the External Memory Interface.  
2. Configure port latches to “park” the EMIF pins in a dormant state (usually by setting them to  
logic 1).  
3. Select the memory mode (on-chip only, split mode without bank select, split mode with bank  
select, or off-chip only).  
4. Set up timing to interface with off-chip memory or peripherals.  
Each of these five steps is explained in detail in the following sections. The configuration selection bits are  
located in the EMI0CF register shown in SFR Definition 10.2.  
10.3. External Memory Interface Port Input/Output Configuration  
When the External Memory Interface is used for off-chip access, the associated port pins are shared  
between the EMIF and the GPIO port latches. The Crossbar should be configured not to assign any  
signals to the associated port pins. In most configurations, the RD, WR, and ALE pins need to be skipped  
in the Crossbar to ensure they are controlled by their port latches. See Section “21. Port Input/Output” on  
page 216 to determine which port pins are associated with the External Memory Interface.  
The External Memory Interface claims the associated Port pins for memory operations ONLY during the  
execution of an off-chip MOVX instruction. Once the MOVX instruction has completed, control of the Port  
pins reverts to the Port latches. The Port latches should be explicitly configured to “park” the  
External Memory Interface pins in a dormant state, most commonly by setting them to a logic 1.  
During the execution of the MOVX instruction, the External Memory Interface will explicitly disable the  
drivers on all Port pins that are acting as Inputs (Data[7:0] during a READ operation, for example). For port  
pins acting as Outputs (Data[7:0] during a WRITE operation, for example), the External memory interface  
will not automatically enable the output driver. The output mode (whether the pin is configured as Open-  
Drain or Push-Pull) of bi-directional and output only pins should be configured to the desired mode when  
the pin is being used as an output.  
The Output mode of the Port pins while controlled by the GPIO latch is unaffected by the External Memory  
Interface operation, and remains controlled by the PnMDOUT registers. In most cases, the output  
modes of all EMIF pins should be configured for push-pull mode.

10.4. Multiplexed External Memory Interface  
For a Multiplexed external memory interface, the Data Bus and the lower 8-bits of the Address Bus share  
the same Port pins: AD[7:0]. For most devices with an 8-bit interface, the upper address bits are not used  
and can be used as GPIO if the external memory interface is used in 8-bit non-banked mode. If the  
external memory interface is used in 8-bit banked mode, or 16-bit mode, then the address pins will be  
driven with the upper 4 address bits and cannot be used as GPIO.

Figure 10.1. Multiplexed Configuration Example  
Many devices with a slave parallel memory interface, such as SRAM chips, only support a non-multiplexed  
memory bus. When interfacing to such a device, an external latch (74HC373 or equivalent logic gate) can  
be used to hold the lower 8-bits of the RAM address during the second half of the memory cycle when the  
address/data bus contains data. The external latch, controlled by the ALE (Address Latch Enable) signal,  
is automatically driven by the External Memory Interface logic. An example SRAM interface showing  
multiplexed to non-multiplexed conversion is shown in Figure 10.2.  
This example is showing that the external MOVX operation can be broken into two phases delineated by  
the state of the ALE signal. During the first phase, ALE is high and the lower 8-bits of the Address Bus are  
presented to AD[7:0]. During this phase, the address latch is configured such that the Q outputs reflect the  
states of the D inputs. When ALE falls, signaling the beginning of the second phase, the address latch  
outputs remain fixed and are no longer dependent on the latch inputs. Later in the second phase, the Data  
Bus controls the state of the AD[7:0] port at the time RD or WR is asserted.  
See Section “10.6. External Memory Interface Timing” on page 121 for detailed timing diagrams.

10.5. External Memory Interface Operating Modes  
The external data memory space can be configured in one of four operating modes, shown in Figure 10.3,  
based on the EMIF Mode bits in the EMI0CF register (SFR Definition 10.2). These modes are summarized  
below. Timing diagrams for the different modes can be found in Section “10.6. External Memory Interface  
Timing” on page 121.  
10.5.1. Internal XRAM Only  
When EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 00, all MOVX instructions will target the internal XRAM space on the device.  
Memory accesses to addresses beyond the populated space will wrap, and will always target on-chip  
XRAM. As an example, if the entire address space is consecutively written and the data pointer is  
incremented after each write, the write pointer will always point to the first byte of on-chip XRAM after the  
last byte of on-chip XRAM has been written.  
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine the high-byte of the effective address  
and R0 or R1 to determine the low-byte of the effective address.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of the 16-bit DPTR to determine the effective address.  
10.5.2. Split Mode without Bank Select  
When EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 01, the XRAM memory map is split into two areas, on-chip space and off-  
chip space.  
Effective addresses below the on-chip XRAM boundary will access on-chip XRAM space.  
Effective addresses above the on-chip XRAM boundary will access off-chip space.  
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine whether the memory access is on-  
chip or off-chip. However, in the “No Bank Select” mode, an 8-bit MOVX operation will not drive the  
upper 4-bits A[11:8] of the Address Bus during an off-chip access. This allows the user to manip-  
ulate the upper address bits at will by setting the Port state directly via the port latches. This behavior  
is in contrast with “Split Mode with Bank Select” described below. The lower 8-bits of the Address Bus  
A[7:0] are driven, determined by R0 or R1.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine whether the memory access is on-  
chip or off-chip, and unlike 8-bit MOVX operations, the full 12-bits of the Address Bus A[11:0] are  
driven during the off-chip transaction.

10.5.3. Split Mode with Bank Select  
When EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 10, the XRAM memory map is split into two areas, on-chip space and off-  
chip space.  
Effective addresses below the on-chip XRAM boundary will access on-chip XRAM space.  
Effective addresses above the on-chip XRAM boundary will access off-chip space.  
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine whether the memory access is on-  
chip or off-chip. The upper 4-bits of the Address Bus A[11:8] are determined by EMI0CN, and the lower  
8-bits of the Address Bus A[7:0] are determined by R0 or R1. All 12-bits of the Address Bus A[11:0]  
are driven in “Bank Select” mode.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine whether the memory access is on-  
chip or off-chip, and the full 12-bits of the Address Bus A[11:0] are driven during the off-chip transac-  
tion.  
10.5.4. External Only  
When EMI0CF[3:2] are set to 11, all MOVX operations are directed to off-chip space. On-chip XRAM is not  
visible to the CPU. This mode is useful for accessing off-chip memory located between 0x0000 and the on-  
chip XRAM boundary.  
8-bit MOVX operations ignore the contents of EMI0CN. The upper Address bits A[11:8] are not driven  
(identical behavior to an off-chip access in “Split Mode without Bank Select” described above). This  
allows the user to manipulate the upper address bits at will by setting the Port state directly. The lower  
8-bits of the effective address A[7:0] are determined by the contents of R0 or R1.  
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine the effective address A[11:0]. The full  
12-bits of the Address Bus A[11:0] are driven during the off-chip transaction.  
10.6. External Memory Interface Timing  
The timing parameters of the External Memory Interface can be configured to enable connection to  
devices having different setup and hold time requirements. The Address Setup time, Address Hold time,  
RD and WR strobe widths, and in multiplexed mode, the width of the ALE pulse are all programmable in  
units of SYSCLK periods through EMI0TC, shown in SFR Definition 10.3, and EMI0CF[1:0].  
The timing for an off-chip MOVX instruction can be calculated by adding 4 SYSCLK cycles to the timing  
parameters defined by the EMI0TC register. Assuming non-multiplexed operation, the minimum execution  
time for an off-chip XRAM operation is 5 SYSCLK cycles (1 SYSCLK for RD or WR pulse + 4 SYSCLKs).  
For multiplexed operations, the Address Latch Enable signal will require a minimum of 2 additional  
SYSCLK cycles. Therefore, the minimum execution time of an off-chip XRAM operation in multiplexed  
mode is 7 SYSCLK cycles (2 SYSCLKs for ALE, 1 for RD or WR + 4 SYSCLKs). The programmable setup  
and hold times default to the maximum delay settings after a reset.  
Table 10.1 lists the ac parameters for the External Memory Interface, and Figure 10.1 through Figure 10.6  
show the timing diagrams for the different External Memory Interface modes and MOVX operations. See  
Section “21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 to determine which port pins are mapped to the ADDR[11:8],  
AD[7:0], ALE, RD, and WR signals.

PGSEL  
XRAM Page Select.  
The EMI0CN register provides the high byte of the 16-bit external data memory  
address when using an 8-bit MOVX command, effectively selecting a 256-byte page  
of RAM. Since the upper (unused) bits of the register are always zero, the PGSEL  
determines which page of XRAM is accessed. When the MSB of PGSEL is set to 1  
and the EMIF is configured for one of the two split-modes, 8-bit MOVX instructions  
target off-chip memory.  
For Example:  
If EMI0CN = 0x01, addresses 0x0100 through 0x01FF of on-chip memory will be  
accessed.  
If EMI0CN = 0x0F, addresses 0x0F00 through 0x0FFF of on-chip memory will be  
accessed.  
If EMI0CN = 0x11, addresses 0x0100 through 0x01FF of off-chip memory will be  
accessed.  
If EMI0CN = 0x1F, addresses 0x0F00 through 0x0FFF of off-chip memory will be  
accessed.

11. 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 C8051F93x-C8051F92x's resources and  
peripherals. The CIP-51 controller core duplicates the SFRs found in a typical 8051 implementation as well  
as implementing additional SFRs used to configure and access the sub-systems unique to the  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x. This allows the addition of new functionality while retaining compatibility with the  
MCS-51™ instruction set. Table 11.1 and Table 11.2 list the SFRs implemented in the C8051F93x-  
C8051F92x device family.  
The SFR registers are accessed anytime the direct addressing mode is used to access memory locations  
from 0x80 to 0xFF. SFRs with addresses ending in 0x0 or 0x8 (e.g. P0, TCON, SCON0, IE, etc.) are bit-  
addressable as well as byte-addressable. All other SFRs are byte-addressable only. Unoccupied  
addresses in the SFR space are reserved for future use. Accessing these areas will have an indeterminate  
effect and should be avoided. Refer to the corresponding pages of the data sheet, as indicated in  
Table 11.3, for a detailed description of each register.

11.1. SFR Paging  
To accommodate more than 128 SFRs in the 0x80 to 0xFF address space, SFR paging has been  
implemented. By default, all SFR accesses target SFR Page 0x0 to allow access to the registers listed in  
Table 11.1. During device initialization, some SFRs located on SFR Page 0xF may need to be accessed.  
Table 11.2 lists the SFRs accessible from SFR Page 0x0F. Some SFRs are accessible from both pages,  
including the SFRPAGE register. SFRs accessible only from Page 0xF are in bold.  
The following procedure should be used when accessing SFRs from Page 0xF:  
Step 1. Save the current interrupt state (EA_save = EA).  
Step 2. Disable Interrupts (EA = 0).  
Step 3. Set SFRPAGE = 0xF.  
Step 4. Access the SFRs located on SFR Page 0xF.  
Step 5. Set SFRPAGE = 0x0.  
Step 6. Restore interrupt state (EA = EA_save).

12. Interrupt Handler  
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x microcontroller family includes an extended interrupt system supporting mul-  
tiple interrupt sources and two priority levels. The allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripher-  
als and external input pins varies according to the specific version of the device. Refer to Table 12.1,  
“Interrupt Summary,” on page 138 for a detailed listing of all interrupt sources supported by the device.  
Refer to the data sheet section associated with a particular on-chip peripheral for information regarding  
valid interrupt conditions for the peripheral and the behavior of its interrupt-pending flag(s).  
Each interrupt source has one or more associated interrupt-pending flag(s) located in an SFR or an indi-  
rect register. When a peripheral or external source meets a valid interrupt condition, the associated inter-  
rupt-pending flag is set to logic 1. If both global interrupts and the specific interrupt source is enabled, a  
CPU 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 predeter-  
mined 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.)  
Some interrupt-pending flags are automatically cleared by 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.  
12.1. Enabling Interrupt Sources  
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.  
12.2. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors  
The CPU services interrupts by generating an LCALL to a predetermined address (the interrupt vector  
address) to begin execution of an interrupt service routine (ISR). The interrupt vector addresses associ-  
ated with each interrupt source are listed in Table 12.1 on page 138. Software should ensure that the inter-  
rupt vector for each enabled interrupt source contains a valid interrupt service routine.  
Software can simulate an interrupt by setting any interrupt-pending flag to logic 1. If interrupts are enabled  
for the flag, an interrupt request will be generated and the CPU will vector to the ISR address associated  
with the interrupt-pending flag.

Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
12.3. 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. If a high priority interrupt preempts a low priority interrupt, the low priority interrupt will finish  
execution after the high priority interrupt completes. Each interrupt has an associated interrupt priority bit in  
in the Interrupt Priority and Extended Interrupt Priority registers used to configure its priority level. Low pri-  
ority 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. See Table 12.1 on  
page 138 to determine the fixed priority order used to arbitrate between simultaneously recognized inter-  
rupts.  
12.4. 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  
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.

12.6. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1  
The INT0 and INT1 external interrupt sources are configurable as active high or low, edge or level sensi-  
tive. The IN0PL (INT0 Polarity) and IN1PL (INT1 Polarity) bits in the IT01CF register select active high or  
active low; the IT0 and IT1 bits in TCON (Section “25.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1” on page 285) 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 12.7). Note  
that INT0 and INT0 Port pin assignments are independent of any Crossbar assignments. INT0 and INT1  
will monitor their assigned Port pins without disturbing the peripheral that was assigned the Port pin via the  
Crossbar. To assign a Port pin only to INT0 and/or INT1, configure the Crossbar to skip the selected pin(s).  
This is accomplished by setting the associated bit in register XBR0 (see Section “21.3. Priority Crossbar  
Decoder” on page 221 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 inter-  
rupts, respectively. If an INT0 or INT1 external interrupt is configured as edge-sensitive, the corresponding  
interrupt-pending flag is automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. When  
configured as level sensitive, the interrupt-pending flag remains logic 1 while the input is active as defined  
by the corresponding polarity bit (IN0PL or IN1PL); the flag remains logic 0 while the input is inactive. The  
external interrupt source must hold the input active until the interrupt request is recognized. It must then  
deactivate the interrupt request before execution of the ISR completes or another interrupt request will be  
generated.

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 4.6 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 “27. C2  
Interface” on page 324.  
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 programming Flash memory using  
MOVX, Flash programming 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. For detailed guidelines on programming Flash from firmware, please see Section “13.5. Flash  
Write and Erase Guidelines” on page 153.  
To ensure the integrity of the Flash contents, the on-chip VDD Monitor must be enabled and  
enabled as a reset source in any system that includes code that writes and/or erases Flash mem-  
ory from software. Furthermore, there should be no delay between enabling the V  
Monitor and  
DD  
enabling the V Monitor as a reset source. Any attempt to write or erase Flash memory while the  
DD  
V
Monitor is disabled, or not enabled as a reset source, will cause a Flash Error device reset.  
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.  
148  
Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
13.1.2. Flash Erase Procedure  
The Flash memory is organized in 1024-byte pages. The erase operation applies to an entire page (setting  
all bytes in the page to 0xFF). To erase an entire 1024-byte page, perform the following steps:  
1. Save current interrupt state and disable interrupts.  
2. Set the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
3. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
4. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
5. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
6. Using the MOVX instruction, write a data byte to any location within the 1024-byte page to be  
erased.  
7. Clear the PSWE and PSEE bits.  
8. Restore previous interrupt state.  
Steps 4–6 must be repeated for each 1024-byte page to be erased.  
Notes:  
1. Future 16 and 8 kB derivatives in this product family will use a 512-byte page size. To maintain code  
compatibility across the entire family, the erase procedure should be performed on each 512-byte section of  
memory.  
2. Flash security settings may prevent erasure of some Flash pages, such as the reserved area and the page  
containing the lock bytes. For a summary of Flash security settings and restrictions affecting Flash erase  
operations, please see Section “13.3. Security Options” on page 150.  
3. 8-bit MOVX instructions cannot be used to erase or write to Flash memory at addresses higher than 0x00FF.  
13.1.3. Flash Write Procedure  
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 recommended procedure for writing a single byte in Flash is as follows:  
1. Save current interrupt state and disable interrupts.  
2. Ensure that the Flash byte has been erased (has a value of 0xFF).  
3. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
4. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
5. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
6. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
7. Using the MOVX instruction, write a single data byte to the desired location within the 1024-  
byte sector.  
8. Clear the PSWE bit.  
9. Restore previous interrupt state.  
Steps 5–7 must be repeated for each byte to be written.  
Notes:  
1. Future 16 and 8 kB derivatives in this product family will use a 512-byte page size. To maintain code  
compatibility across the entire family, the erase procedure should be performed on each 512-byte section of  
memory.  
2. Flash security settings may prevent writes to some areas of Flash, such as the reserved area. For a summary  
of Flash security settings and restrictions affecting Flash write operations, please see Section “13.3. Security  
Options” on page 150.

13.2. Non-volatile Data Storage  
The Flash memory can be used for non-volatile data storage as well as program code. This allows data  
such as calibration coefficients to be calculated and stored at run time. Data is written using the MOVX  
write instruction and read using the MOVC instruction. Note: MOVX read instructions always target XRAM.  
An additional 1024-byte scratchpad is available for non-volatile data storage. It is accessible at addresses  
0x0000 to 0x03FF when SFLE is set to 1. The scratchpad area cannot be used for code execution.  
13.3. Security Options  
The CIP-51 provides security options to protect the Flash memory from inadvertent modification by soft-  
ware as well as to prevent the viewing of proprietary program code and constants. The Program Store  
Write Enable (bit PSWE in register PSCTL) and the Program Store Erase Enable (bit PSEE in register  
PSCTL) bits protect the Flash memory from accidental modification by software. PSWE must be explicitly  
set to 1 before software can modify the Flash memory; both PSWE and PSEE must be set to 1 before soft-  
ware can erase Flash memory. Additional security features prevent proprietary program code and data  
constants from being read or altered across the C2 interface.  
A Security Lock Byte located at the last byte of Flash user space offers protection of the Flash program  
memory from access (reads, writes, or erases) by unprotected code or the C2 interface. The Flash security  
mechanism allows the user to lock n 1024-byte Flash pages, starting at page 0 (addresses 0x0000 to  
0x03FF), where n is the 1s complement number represented by the Security Lock Byte. The page con-  
taining 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 the C8051F930 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. Table 13.1 summarizes the Flash security  
features of the C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices.

13.4. Determining the Device Part Number at Run Time  
In many applications, user software may need to determine the MCU part number at run time in order to  
determine the hardware capabilities. The part number can be determined by reading the value of the Flash  
byte at address 0xFFFE.  
The value of the Flash byte at address 0xFFFE can be decoded as follows:  
0x56—C8051F930  
0x5E—C8051F931  
0xB1—C8051F920  
0xB3—C8051F921

13.5. Flash Write and Erase Guidelines  
Any system which contains routines which write or erase Flash memory from software involves some risk  
that the write or erase routines will execute unintentionally if the CPU is operating outside its specified  
operating range of VDD, system clock frequency, or temperature. This accidental execution of Flash modi-  
fying code can result in alteration of Flash memory contents causing a system failure that is only recover-  
able by re-Flashing the code in the device.  
To help prevent the accidental modification of Flash by firmware, the VDD Monitor must be enabled and  
enabled as a reset source on C8051F92x-C8051F93x devices for the Flash to be successfully modified. If  
either the VDD Monitor or the VDD Monitor reset source is not enabled, a Flash Error Device Reset  
will be generated when the firmware attempts to modify the Flash.  
The following guidelines are recommended for any system that contains routines which write or erase  
Flash from code.  
13.5.1. 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 maximum VBAT ramp time specification of 3 ms is met. This specifica-  
tion is outlined in Table 4.4 on page 59. On silicon revision F and later revisions, if the system  
cannot meet this rise time specification, then add an external VDD brownout circuit to the RST  
pin of the device that holds the device in reset until VDD reaches the minimum device operat-  
ing voltage and re-asserts RST if VDD drops below the minimum device operating voltage.  
3. Keep the on-chip VDD Monitor enabled and enable the VDD Monitor as a reset source as  
early in code as possible. This should be the first set of instructions executed after the Reset  
Vector. For C-based systems, this will involve modifying the startup code added by the 'C'  
compiler. See your compiler documentation for more details. Make certain that there are no  
delays in software between enabling the VDD Monitor and enabling the VDD Monitor as a  
reset source. Code examples showing this can be found in “AN201: Writing to Flash from  
Firmware," available from the Silicon Laboratories web site.  
Notes:   
On C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices, both the VDD Monitor and the VDD Monitor reset source  
must be enabled to write or erase Flash without generating a Flash Error Device Reset.  
On C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices, both the VDD Monitor and the VDD Monitor reset source  
are enabled by hardware after a power-on reset.  
4. As an added precaution, explicitly enable the VDD Monitor and enable the VDD Monitor as a  
reset source inside the functions that write and erase Flash memory. The VDD Monitor enable  
instructions should be placed just after the instruction to set PSWE to a '1', but before the  
Flash write or erase operation instruction.  
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, but "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.  
Rev. 1.3  
153  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
13.5.2. 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 both 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 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 Sili-  
con 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.  
13.5.3. 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 website.

13.6. Minimizing Flash Read Current  
The Flash memory in the C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices is responsible for a substantial portion of the  
total digital supply current when the device is executing code. Below are suggestions to minimize Flash  
read current.  
1. Use idle, suspend, or sleep modes while waiting for an interrupt, rather than polling the inter-  
rupt flag. Idle mode is particularly well-suited for use in implementing short pauses, since the  
wake-up time is no more than three system clock cycles. See the Power Management chapter  
for details on the various low-power operating modes.  
2. C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices have a one-shot timer that saves power when operating at  
system clock frequencies of 10 MHz or less. The one-shot timer generates a minimum-dura-  
tion enable signal for the Flash sense amps on each clock cycle in which the Flash memory is  
accessed. This allows the Flash to remain in a low power state for the remainder of the long  
clock cycle.  
At clock frequencies above 10 MHz, the system clock cycle becomes short enough that the  
one-shot timer no longer provides a power benefit. Disabling the one-shot timer at higher fre-  
quencies reduces power consumption. The one-shot is enabled by default, and it can be dis-  
abled (bypassed) by setting the BYPASS bit (FLSCL.6) to logic 1. To re-enable the one-shot,  
clear the BYPASS bit to logic 0. See the note in SFR Definition 13.3. FLSCL: Flash Scale for  
more information on how to properly clear the BYPASS bit.  
3. Flash read current depends on the number of address lines that toggle between sequential  
Flash read operations. In most cases, the difference in power is relatively small (on the order  
of 5%).  
The Flash memory is organized in rows. Each row in the C8051F9xx Flash contains 128  
bytes. A substantial current increase can be detected when the read address jumps from one  
row in the Flash memory to another. Consider a 3-cycle loop (e.g., SJMP $, or while(1);) which  
straddles a 128-byte Flash row boundary. The Flash address jumps from one row to another  
on two of every three clock cycles. This can result in a current increase of up 30% when com-  
pared to the same 3-cycle loop contained entirely within a single row.  
To minimize the power consumption of small loops, it is best to locate them within a single row,  
if possible. To check if a loop is contained within a Flash row, divide the starting address of the  
first instruction in the loop by 128. If the remainder (result of modulo operation) plus the length  
of the loop is less than 127, then the loop fits inside a single Flash row. Otherwise, the loop will  
be straddling two adjacent Flash rows. If a loop executes in 20 or more clock cycles, then the  
transitions from one row to another will occur on relatively few clock cycles, and any resulting  
increase in operating current will be negligible.  
Note: Future 16 and 8 kB derivatives in this product family will use a Flash memory that is organized in rows of 64  
bytes each. To maintain code compatibility across the entire family, it is best to locate small loops within a single  
64-byte segment.

Write:  
This register provides a lock and key function for Flash erasures and writes. Flash  
writes and erases are enabled by writing 0xA5 followed by 0xF1 to the FLKEY regis-  
ter. Flash writes and erases are automatically disabled after the next write or erase is  
complete. If any writes to FLKEY are performed incorrectly, or if a Flash write or erase  
operation is attempted while these operations are disabled, the Flash will be perma-  
nently  
locked from writes or erasures until the next device reset. If an application never  
writes to Flash, it can intentionally lock the Flash by writing a non-0xA5 value to  
FLKEY from software.  
Read:  
When read, bits 1–0 indicate the current Flash lock state.  
00: Flash is write/erase locked.  
01: The first key code has been written (0xA5).

14. Power Management  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices support 5 power modes: Normal, Idle, Stop, Suspend, and Sleep. The  
power management unit (PMU0) allows the device to enter and wake-up from the available power modes.  
A brief description of each power mode is provided in Table 14.1. Detailed descriptions of each mode can  
be found in the following sections.

In battery powered systems, the system should spend as much time as possible in sleep mode in order to  
preserve battery life. When a task with a fixed number of clock cycles needs to be performed, the device  
should switch to normal mode, finish the task as quickly as possible, and return to sleep mode. Idle mode  
and suspend modes provide a very fast wake-up time; however, the power savings in these modes will not  
be as much as in sleep Mode. Stop Mode is included for legacy reasons; the system will be more power  
efficient and easier to wake up when idle, suspend, or sleep mode are used.  
Although switching power modes is an integral part of power management, enabling/disabling individual  
peripherals as needed will help lower power consumption in all power modes. Each analog peripheral can  
be disabled when not in use or placed in a low power mode. Digital peripherals such as timers or serial  
busses draw little power whenever they are not in use. Digital peripherals draw no power in Sleep Mode.

14.1. Normal Mode  
The MCU is fully functional in Normal Mode. Figure 14.1 shows the on-chip power distribution to various  
peripherals. There are three supply voltages powering various sections of the chip: VBAT, VDD/DC+, and  
the 1.8 V internal core supply. VREG0, PMU0 and the SmaRTClock are always powered directly from the  
VBAT pin. All analog peripherals are directly powered from the VDD/DC+ pin, which is an output in one-cell  
mode and an input in two-cell mode. All digital peripherals and the CIP-51 core are powered from the 1.8 V  
internal core supply. The RAM is also powered from the core supply in Normal mode.

14.2. 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.  
Note: To ensure the MCU enters a low power state upon entry into Idle Mode, the one-shot circuit should be  
enabled by clearing the BYPASS bit (FLSCL.6) to logic 0. See the note in SFR Definition 13.3. FLSCL:  
Flash Scale for more information on how to properly clear the BYPASS bit.  
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. Refer to Section “18.6. PCA Watchdog Timer  
Reset” on page 188 for more information on the use and configuration of the WDT.  
14.3. 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 precision internal oscillator and CPU are  
stopped; the state of the low power oscillator and 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 of 100 µs.  
Stop Mode is a legacy 8051 power mode; it will not result in optimal power savings. Sleep or Suspend  
mode will provide more power savings if the MCU needs to be inactive for a long period of time.  
On C8051F930, C8051F931, C8051F920, and C8051F921 devices, the Precision Oscillator Bias is not  
automatically disabled and should be disabled by software to achieve the lowest possible Stop mode cur-  
rent.  
Note: To ensure the MCU enters a low power state upon entry into Stop Mode, the one-shot circuit should be  
enabled by clearing the BYPASS bit (FLSCL.6) to logic 0. See the note in SFR Definition 13.3. FLSCL:  
Flash Scale for more information on how to properly clear the BYPASS bit.  
Rev. 1.3  
161  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
14.4. Suspend Mode  
Setting the Suspend Mode Select bit (PMU0CF.6) causes the system clock to be gated off and all internal  
oscillators disabled. All digital logic (timers, communication peripherals, interrupts, CPU, etc.) stops  
functioning until one of the enabled wake-up sources occurs.  
Important Notes:  
When entering Suspend Mode, the global clock divider must be set to "divide by 1" by setting  
CLKDIV[2:0] = 000b in the CLKSEL register.  
The one-shot circuit should be enabled by clearing the BYPASS bit (FLSCL.6) to logic 0. See  
the note in SFR Definition 13.3. FLSCL: Flash Scale for more information on how to properly  
clear the BYPASS bit.  
Upon wake-up from suspend mode, PMU0 requires two system clocks in order to update the  
PMU0CF wake-up flags. All flags will read back a value of '0' during the first two system clocks  
following a wake-up from suspend mode.  
The following wake-up sources can be configured to wake the device from Suspend Mode:  
SmaRTClock Oscillator Fail  
SmaRTClock Alarm  
Port Match Event  
Comparator0 Rising Edge  
In addition, a noise glitch on RST that is not long enough to reset the device will cause the device to exit  
suspend. In order for the MCU to respond to the pin reset event, software must not place the device back  
into suspend mode for a period of 15 µs. The PMU0CF register may be checked to determine if the wake-  
up was due to a falling edge on the /RST pin. If the wake-up source is not due to a falling edge on RST,  
there is no time restriction on how soon software may place the device back into suspend mode. A 4.7 k  
pullup resistor to VDD/DC+ is recommend for RST to prevent noise glitches from waking the device.  
14.5. Sleep Mode  
Setting the Sleep Mode Select bit (PMU0CF.6) turns off the internal 1.8 V regulator (VREG0) and switches  
the power supply of all on-chip RAM to the VBAT pin (see Figure 14.1). Power to most digital logic on the  
chip is disconnected; only PMU0 and the SmaRTClock remain powered. Analog peripherals remain  
powered in two-cell mode and lose their supply in one-cell mode because the dc-dc converter is disabled.  
In two-cell mode, only the Comparators remain functional when the device enters Sleep Mode. All other  
analog peripherals (ADC0, IREF0, External Oscillator, etc.) should be disabled prior to entering Sleep  
Mode.  
Important Notes:  
When entering Sleep Mode, the global clock divider must be set to "divide by 1" by setting  
CLKDIV[2:0] = 000b in the CLKSEL register.  
Per device errata, for Revision D and prior silicon, the CLKSEL register must select “low power  
oscillator divided by 2” as the system clock source and wait for CLKRDY to be set prior to  
entering Sleep Mode.  
GPIO pins configured as digital outputs will retain their output state during sleep mode. In two-cell mode,  
they will maintain the same current drive capability in sleep mode as they have in normal mode. In one-cell  
mode, the VDD/DC+ supply will drop to the level of VBAT, which will reduce the output high-voltage level  
and the source and sink current drive capability.  
162  
Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
GPIO pins configured as digital inputs can be used during sleep mode as wakeup sources using the port  
match feature. In two-cell mode, they will maintain the same input level specs in sleep mode as they have  
in normal mode. In one-cell mode, the VDD supply will drop to the level of VBAT, which will lower the  
switching threshold and increase the propagation delay.  
Note: By default, the VDD/DC+ supply is connected to VBAT upon entry into Sleep Mode (one-cell mode). If the  
VDDSLP bit (DC0CF.1) is set to logic 1, the VDD/DC+ supply will float in Sleep Mode. This allows the  
decoupling capacitance on the VDD/DC+ supply to maintain the supply rail until the capacitors are discharged.  
For relatively short sleep intervals, this can result in substantial power savings because the decoupling  
capacitance is not continuously charged and discharged.  
RAM and SFR register contents are preserved in Sleep mode as long as the voltage on VBAT does not fall  
below V  
. The PC counter and all other volatile state information is preserved allowing the device to  
POR  
resume code execution upon waking up from Sleep mode. The following wake-up sources can be  
configured to wake the device from Sleep mode:  
SmaRTClock Oscillator Fail  
SmaRTClock Alarm  
Port Match Event  
Comparator0 Rising Edge.  
The Comparator0 Rising Edge wakeup is only valid in two-cell mode. The comparator requires a supply  
voltage of at least 1.8 V to operate properly.  
In addition, any falling edge on RST (due to a pin reset or a noise glitch) will cause the device to exit sleep  
mode. In order for the MCU to respond to the pin reset event, software must not place the device back into  
sleep mode for a period of 15 µs. The PMU0CF register may be checked to determine if the wake-up was  
due to a falling edge on the RST pin. If the wake-up source is not due to a falling edge on RST, there is no  
time restriction on how soon software may place the device back into sleep mode. A 4.7 kpullup resistor  
to VDD/DC+ is recommend for RST to prevent noise glitches from waking the device.  
14.6. Configuring Wakeup Sources  
Before placing the device in a low power mode, one or more wakeup sources should be enabled so that  
the device does not remain in the low power mode indefinitely. For idle mode, this includes enabling any  
interrupt. For stop mode, this includes enabling any reset source or relying on the RST pin to reset the  
device.  
Wake-up sources for suspend and sleep modes are configured through the PMU0CF register. Wake-up  
sources are enabled by writing 1 to the corresponding wake-up source enable bit. Wake-up sources must  
be re-enabled each time the device is placed in Suspend or Sleep mode, in the same write that places the  
device in the low power mode.  
The reset pin is always enabled as a wake-up source. On the falling edge of RST, the device will be  
awaken from sleep mode. The device must remain awake for more than 15 µs in order for the reset to take  
place.  
Rev. 1.3  
163  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
14.7. Determining the Event that Caused the Last Wakeup  
When waking from idle mode, the CPU will vector to the interrupt which caused it to wake up. When  
waking from stop mode, the RSTSRC register may be read to determine the cause of the last reset.  
Upon exit from suspend or sleep mode, the wake-up flags in the PMU0CF register can be read to  
determine the event which caused the device to wake up. After waking up, the wake-up flags will continue  
to be updated if any of the wake-up events occur. Wake-up flags are always updated, even if they are not  
enabled as wake-up sources.  
All wake-up flags enabled as wake-up sources in PMU0CF must be cleared before the device can enter  
suspend or sleep mode. After clearing the wake-up flags, each of the enabled wake-up events should be  
checked in the individual peripherals to ensure that a wake-up event did not occur while the wake-up flags  
were being cleared.

15. Cyclic Redundancy Check Unit (CRC0)  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include a cyclic redundancy check unit (CRC0) that can perform a CRC  
using a 16-bit or 32-bit polynomial. CRC0 accepts a stream of 8-bit data written to the CRC0IN register.  
CRC0 posts the 16-bit or 32-bit result to an internal register. The internal result register may be accessed  
indirectly using the CRC0PNT bits and CRC0DAT register, as shown in Figure 15.1. CRC0 also has a bit  
reverse register for quick data manipulation.

15.1. 16-bit CRC Algorithm  
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x CRC unit calculates the 16-bit CRC MSB-first, using a poly of 0x1021. The  
following describes the 16-bit CRC algorithm performed by the hardware:  
1. XOR the input with the most-significant bits of the current CRC result. If this is the first iteration  
of the CRC unit, the current CRC result will be the set initial value   
(0x0000 or 0xFFFF).  
2a. If the MSB of the CRC result is set, left-shift the CRC result and XOR the result with the  
selected polynomial (0x1021).  
2b. If the MSB of the CRC result is not set, left-shift the CRC result.  
Repeat steps 2a/2b for the number of input bits (8). The algorithm is also described in the following  
example.  
Rev. 1.3  
167  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
The 16-bit C8051F93x-C8051F92x CRC algorithm can be described by the following code:  
unsigned short UpdateCRC (unsigned short CRC_acc, unsigned char CRC_input)  
{
unsigned char i;  
// loop counter  
#define POLY 0x1021  
// Create the CRC "dividend" for polynomial arithmetic (binary arithmetic  
// with no carries)  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc ^ (CRC_input << 8);  
// "Divide" the poly into the dividend using CRC XOR subtraction  
// CRC_acc holds the "remainder" of each divide  
//  
// Only complete this division for 8 bits since input is 1 byte  
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)  
{
// Check if the MSB is set (if MSB is 1, then the POLY can "divide"  
// into the "dividend")  
if ((CRC_acc & 0x8000) == 0x8000)  
{
// if so, shift the CRC value, and XOR "subtract" the poly  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc << 1;  
CRC_acc ^= POLY;  
}
else  
{
// if not, just shift the CRC value  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc << 1;  
}
}
// Return the final remainder (CRC value)  
return CRC_acc;  
}

15.2. 32-bit CRC Algorithm  
The C8051F93x-C8051F92x CRC unit calculates the 32-bit CRC using a poly of 0x04C11DB7. The CRC-  
32 algorithm is "reflected", meaning that all of the input bytes and the final 32-bit output are bit-reversed in  
the processing engine. The following is a description of a simplified CRC algorithm that produces results  
identical to the hardware:  
Step 1. XOR the least-significant byte of the current CRC result with the input byte. If this is the  
first iteration of the CRC unit, the current CRC result will be the set initial value  
(0x00000000 or 0xFFFFFFFF).  
Step 2. Right-shift the CRC result.  
Step 3. If the LSB of the CRC result is set, XOR the CRC result with the reflected polynomial  
(0xEDB88320).  
Step 4. Repeat at Step 2 for the number of input bits (8).  
For example, the 32-bit 'F93x/92x CRC algorithm can be described by the following code:  
unsigned long UpdateCRC (unsigned long CRC_acc, unsigned char CRC_input)  
{
unsigned char i; // loop counter  
#define POLY 0xEDB88320 // bit-reversed version of the poly 0x04C11DB7  
// Create the CRC "dividend" for polynomial arithmetic (binary arithmetic  
// with no carries)  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc ^ CRC_input;  
// "Divide" the poly into the dividend using CRC XOR subtraction  
// CRC_acc holds the "remainder" of each divide  
//  
// Only complete this division for 8 bits since input is 1 byte  
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)  
{
// Check if the MSB is set (if MSB is 1, then the POLY can "divide"  
// into the "dividend")  
if ((CRC_acc & 0x00000001) == 0x00000001)  
{
// if so, shift the CRC value, and XOR "subtract" the poly  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc >> 1;  
CRC_acc ^= POLY;  
}
else  
{
// if not, just shift the CRC value  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc >> 1;  
}
}
// Return the final remainder (CRC value)  
return CRC_acc;  
}

15.3. Preparing for a CRC Calculation  
To prepare CRC0 for a CRC calculation, software should select the desired polynomial and set the initial  
value of the result. Two polynomials are available: 0x1021 (16-bit) and 0x04C11DB7 (32-bit). The CRC0  
result may be initialized to one of two values: 0x00000000 or 0xFFFFFFFF. The following steps can be  
used to initialize CRC0.  
1. Select a polynomial (Set CRC0SEL to 0 for 32-bit or 1 for 16-bit).  
2. Select the initial result value (Set CRC0VAL to 0 for 0x00000000 or 1 for 0xFFFFFFFF).  
3. Set the result to its initial value (Write 1 to CRC0INIT).  
15.4. Performing a CRC Calculation  
Once CRC0 is initialized, the input data stream is sequentially written to CRC0IN, one byte at a time. The  
CRC0 result is automatically updated after each byte is written. The CRC engine may also be configured to  
automatically perform a CRC on one or more Flash sectors. The following steps can be used to automati-  
cally perform a CRC on Flash memory.  
1. Prepare CRC0 for a CRC calculation as shown above.  
2. Write the index of the starting page to CRC0AUTO.  
3. Set the AUTOEN bit in CRC0AUTO.  
4. Write the number of Flash sectors to perform in the CRC calculation to CRC0CNT.   
Note: Each Flash sector is 1024 bytes.  
5. Write any value to CRC0CN (or OR its contents with 0x00) to initiate the CRC calculation. The  
CPU will not execute code any additional code until the CRC operation completes.  
See the note in SFR Definition 15.1. CRC0CN: CRC0 Control for more information on  
how to properly initiate a CRC calculation.  
6. Clear the AUTOEN bit in CRC0AUTO.  
7. Read the CRC result using the procedure below.  
15.5. Accessing the CRC0 Result  
The internal CRC0 result is 32-bits (CRC0SEL = 0b) or 16-bits (CRC0SEL = 1b). The CRC0PNT bits  
select the byte that is targeted by read and write operations on CRC0DAT and increment after each read or  
write. The calculation result will remain in the internal CR0 result register until it is set, overwritten, or addi-  
tional data is written to CRC0IN.

10: CRC0DAT accesses bits 7–0 of the 16-bit CRC result.  
11: CRC0DAT accesses bits 15–8 of the 16-bit CRC result.  
Note: Upon initiation of an automatic CRC calculation, the third opcode byte fetched from program memory is  
indeterminate. Therefore, writes to CRC0CN that initiate a CRC operation must be immediately followed by a  
benign 3-byte instruction whose third byte is a don’t care. An example of such an instruction is a 3-byte MOV  
that targets the CRC0FLIP register. When programming in ‘C’, the dummy value written to CRC0FLIP should  
be a non-zero value to prevent the compiler from generating a 2-byte MOV instruction.

CRC0 includes hardware to reverse the bit order of each bit in a byte as shown in Figure 15.2. Each byte  
of data written to CRC0FLIP is read back bit reversed. For example, if 0xC0 is written to CRC0FLIP, the  
data read back is 0x03. Bit reversal is a useful mathematical function used in algorithms such as the FFT.

16. On-Chip DC-DC Converter (DC0)  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an on-chip dc-dc converter to allow operation from a single cell  
battery with a supply voltage as low as 0.9 V. The dc-dc converter is a switching boost converter with an  
input voltage range of 0.9 to 1.8 V and a programmable output voltage range of 1.8 to 3.3 V. The default  
output voltage is 1.9 V. The dc-dc converter can supply the system with up to 65 mW of regulated power  
(or up to 100 mW in some applications) and can be used for powering other devices in the system. This  
allows the most flexibility when interfacing to sensors and other analog signals which typically require a  
higher supply voltage than a single-cell battery can provide.  
Figure 16.1 shows a block diagram of the dc-dc converter. During normal operation in the first half of the  
switching cycle, the Duty Cycle Control switch is closed and the Diode Bypass switch is open. Since the  
output voltage is higher than the voltage at the DCEN pin, no current flows through the diode and the load  
is powered from the output capacitor. During this stage, the DCEN pin is connected to ground through the  
Duty Cycle Control switch, generating a positive voltage across the inductor and forcing its current to ramp  
up.  
In the second half of the switching cycle, the Duty Cycle control switch is opened and the Diode Bypass  
switch is closed. This connects DCEN directly to VDD/DC+ and forces the inductor current to charge the  
output capacitor. Once the inductor transfers its stored energy to the output capacitor, the Duty Cycle Con-  
trol switch is closed, the Diode Bypass switch is opened, and the cycle repeats.  
The dc-dc converter has a built in voltage reference and oscillator, and will automatically limit or turn off the  
switching activity in case the peak inductor current rises beyond a safe limit or the output voltage rises  
above the programmed target value. This allows the dc-dc converter output to be safely overdriven by a  
secondary power source (when available) in order to preserve battery life. The dc-dc converter’s settings  
can be modified using SFR registers which provide the ability to change the target output voltage, oscillator  
frequency or source, Diode Bypass switch resistance, peak inductor current, and minimum duty cycle.

16.1. Startup Behavior  
On initial power-on, the dc-dc converter outputs a constant 50% duty cycle until there is sufficient voltage  
on the output capacitor to maintain regulation. The size of the output capacitor and the amount of load cur-  
rent present during startup will determine the length of time it takes to charge the output capacitor.  
During initial power-on reset, the maximum peak inductor current threshold, which triggers the overcurrent  
protection circuit, is set to approximately 125 mA. This generates a “soft-start” to limit the output voltage  
slew rate and prevent excessive in-rush current at the output capacitor. In order to ensure reliable startup  
of the dc-dc converter, the following restrictions have been imposed:  
The maximum dc load current allowed during startup is given in Table 4.14 on page 66. If the dc-dc  
converter is powering external sensors or devices through the VDD/DC+ pin or through GPIO pins,  
then the current supplied to these sensors or devices is counted towards this limit. The in-rush current  
into capacitors does not count towards this limit.  
The maximum total output capacitance is given in Table 4.14 on page 66. This value includes the  
required 1 µF ceramic output capacitor and any additional capacitance connected to the VDD/DC+ pin.  
Once initial power-on is complete, the peak inductor current limit can be increased by software as shown in  
Table 16.1. Limiting the peak inductor current can allow the device to start up near the battery’s end of life.

16.2. High Power Applications  
The dc-dc converter is designed to provide the system with 65 mW of output power, however, it can safely  
provide up to 100 mW of output power without any risk of damage to the device. For high power applica-  
tions, the system should be carefully designed to prevent unwanted VBAT and VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor  
resets, which are more likely to occur when the dc-dc converter output power exceeds 65mW. In addition,  
output power above 65 mW causes the dc-dc converter to have relaxed output regulation, high output rip-  
ple and more analog noise. At high output power, an inductor with low DC resistance should be chosen in  
order to minimize power loss and maximize efficiency.  
The combination of high output power and low input voltage will result in very high peak and average  
inductor currents. If the power supply has a high internal resistance, the transient voltage on the VBAT ter-  
minal could drop below 0.9 V and trigger a VBAT Supply Monitor Reset, even if the open-circuit voltage is  
well above the 0.9 V threshold. While this problem is most often associated with operation from very small  
batteries or batteries that are near the end of their useful life, it can also occur when using bench power  
supplies that have a slow transient response; the supply’s display may indicate a voltage above 0.9 V, but  
the minimum voltage on the VBAT pin may be lower. A similar problem can occur at the output of the dc-dc  
converter: using the default low current limit setting (125 mA) can trigger V Supply Monitor resets if there  
DD  
is a high transient load current, particularly if the programmed output voltage is at or near 1.8 V.  
16.3. Pulse Skipping Mode  
The dc-dc converter allows the user to set the minimum pulse width such that if the duty cycle needs to  
decrease below a certain width in order to maintain regulation, an entire "clock pulse" will be skipped.  
Pulse skipping can provide substantial power savings, particularly at low values of load current. The con-  
verter will continue to maintain a minimum output voltage at its programmed value when pulse skipping is  
employed, though the output voltage ripple can be higher. Another consideration is that the dc-dc will oper-  
ate with pulse-frequency modulation rather than pulse-width modulation, which makes the switching fre-  
quency spectrum less predictable; this could be an issue if the dc-dc converter is used to power a radio.  
Figure 4.5 and Figure 4.6 on page 52 and 53 show the effect of pulse skipping on power consumption.

16.4. Enabling the DC-DC Converter  
On power-on reset, the state of the DCEN pin is sampled to determine if the device will power up in one-  
cell or two-cell mode. In two-cell mode, the dc-dc converter always remains disabled. In one-cell mode, the  
dc-dc converter remains disabled in Sleep Mode, and enabled in all other power modes. See Section  
“14. Power Management” on page 159 for complete details on available power modes.  
The dc-dc converter is enabled (one-cell mode) in hardware by placing a 0.68 µH inductor between DCEN  
and VBAT. The dc-dc converter is disabled (two-cell mode) by shorting DCEN directly to GND. The DCEN  
pin should never be left floating. Note that the device can only switch between one-cell and two-cell mode  
during a power-on reset. See Section “18. Reset Sources” on page 184 for more information regarding  
reset behavior.  
Figure 16.2 shows the two dc-dc converter configuration options.

Figure 16.2. DC-DC Converter Configuration Options  
When the dc-dc converter “Enabled” configuration (one-cell mode) is chosen, the following guidelines  
apply:  
In most cases, the GND/DC– pin should not be externally connected to GND.  
The 0.68 µH inductor should be placed as close as possible to the DCEN pin for maximum efficiency.  
The 4.7 µF capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the inductor.  
The current loop including GND, the 4.7 µF capacitor, the 0.68 µH inductor and the DCEN pin should  
be made as short as possible.  
The PCB traces connecting VDD/DC+ to the output capacitor and the output capacitor to GND/DC–  
should be as short and as thick as possible in order to minimize parasitic inductance.

Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
16.5. Minimizing Power Supply Noise  
To minimize noise on the power supply lines, the GND and GND/DC- pins should be kept separate, as  
shown in Figure 16.2; one or the other should be connected to the pc board ground plane. For applications  
in which the dc-dc converter is used only to power internal circuits, the GND pin is normally connected to  
the board ground.  
The large decoupling capacitors in the input and output circuits ensure that each supply is relatively quiet  
with respect to its own ground. However, connecting a circuit element "diagonally" (e.g. connecting an  
external chip between VDD/DC+ and GND, or between VBAT and GND/DC-) can result in high supply  
noise across that circuit element. For applications in which the dc-dc converter is used to power external  
analog circuitry, it is recommended to connect the GND/DC– pin to the board ground and connect the bat-  
tery’s negative terminal to the GND pin only, which is not connected to board ground.  
To accommodate situations in which ADC0 is sampling a signal that is referenced to one of the external  
grounds, we recommend using the Analog Ground Reference (P0.1/AGND) option described in Section  
5.12. This option prevents any voltage differences between the internal chip ground and the external  
grounds from modulating the ADC input signal. If this option is enabled, the P0.1 pin should be tied to the  
ground reference of the external analog input signal. When using the ADC with the dc-dc converter, we  
also recommend enabling the SYNC bit in the DC0CN register to minimize interference.  
These general guidelines provide the best performance in most applications, though some situations may  
benefit from experimentation to eliminate any residual noise issues. Examples might include tying the  
grounds together, using additional low-inductance decoupling caps in parallel with the recommended ones,  
investigating the effects of different dc-dc converter settings, etc.  
16.6. Selecting the Optimum Switch Size  
The dc-dc converter has two built-in switches (the diode bypass switch and duty cycle control switch). To  
maximize efficiency, one of two switch sizes may be selected. The large switches are ideal for carrying  
high currents and the small switches are ideal for low current applications. The ideal switchover point to  
switch from the small switches to the large switches varies with the programmed output voltage. At an out-  
put voltage of 2 V, the ideal switchover point is at approximately 4 mA total output current. At an output  
voltage of 3 V, the ideal switchover point is at approximately 8 mA total output current.  
16.7. DC-DC Converter Clocking Options  
The dc-dc converter may be clocked from its internal oscillator, or from any system clock source, select-  
able by the CLKSEL bit (DC0CF.0). The dc-dc converter internal oscillator frequency is approximately  
2.4 MHz. For a more accurate clock source, the system clock, or a divided version of the system clock may  
be used as the dc-dc clock source. The dc-dc converter has a built in clock divider (configured using  
DC0CF[6:5]) which allows any system clock frequency over 1.6 MHz to generate a valid clock in the range  
of 1.6 to 3.2 MHz.  
When the precision internal oscillator is selected as the system clock source, the OSCICL register may be  
used to fine tune the oscillator frequency and the dc-dc converter clock. The oscillator frequency should  
only be decreased since it is factory calibrated at its maximum frequency. The minimum frequency which  
can be reached by the oscillator after taking into account process variations is approximately 16 MHz. The  
system clock routed to the dc-dc converter clock divider also may be inverted by setting the CLKINV bit  
(DC0CF.3) to logic 1. These options can be used to minimize interference in noise sensitive applications.

16.8. DC-DC Converter Behavior in Sleep Mode  
When the C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices are placed in Sleep mode, the dc-dc converter is disabled, and  
the VDD/DC+ output is internally connected to VBAT by default. This behavior ensures that the GPIO pins  
are powered from a low-impedance source during sleep mode. If the GPIO pins are not used as inputs or  
outputs during sleep mode, then the VDD/DC+ output can be made to float during Sleep mode by setting  
the VDDSLP bit in the DC0CF register to 1.  
Setting this bit can provide power savings in two ways. First, if the sleep interval is relatively short and the  
VDD/DC+ load current (include leakage currents) is negligible, then the capacitor on VDD/DC+ will main-  
tain the output voltage near the programmed value, which means that the VDD/DC+ capacitor will not need  
to be recharged upon every wake up event. The second power advantage is that internal or external low-  
power circuits that require more than 1.8 V can continue to function during Sleep mode without operating  
the dc-dc converter, powered by the energy stored in the 1 µF output decoupling capacitor. For example,  
the C8051F93x-C8051F92x comparators require about 0.4 µA when operating in their lowest power mode.  
If the dc-dc converter output were increased to 3.3 V just before putting the device into Sleep mode, then  
the comparator could be powered for more than 3 seconds before the output voltage dropped to 1.8 V. In  
this example, the overall energy consumption would be much lower than if the dc-dc converter were kept  
running to power the comparator.  
If the load current on VDD/DC+ is high enough to discharge the VDD/DC+ capacitance to a voltage lower  
than VBAT during the sleep interval, an internal diode will prevent VDD/DC+ from dropping more than a  
few hundred millivolts below VBAT. There may be some additional leakage current from VBAT to ground  
when the VDD/DC+ level falls below VBAT, but this leakage current should be small compared to the cur-  
rent from VDD/DC+.  
The amount of time that it takes for a device configured in one-cell mode to wake up from Sleep mode  
depends on a number of factors, including the dc-dc converter clock speed, the settings of the SWSEL and  
ILIMIT bits, the battery internal resistance, the load current, and the difference between the VBAT voltage  
level and the programmed output voltage. The wake up time can be as short as 2 µs, though it is more  
commonly in the range of 5 to 10 µs, and it can exceed 50 µs under extreme conditions.  
See Section “14. Power Management” on page 159 for more information about sleep mode.

17. Voltage Regulator (VREG0)  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an internal voltage regulator (VREG0) to regulate the internal  
core supply to 1.8 V from a VDD/DC+ supply of 1.8 to 3.6 V. Electrical characteristics for the on-chip  
regulator are specified in the Electrical Specifications chapter.  
The REG0CN register allows the Precision Oscillator Bias to be disabled, reducing supply current in all  
non-sleep power modes. This bias should only be disabled when the precision oscillator is not being used.  
The internal regulator (VREG0) is disabled when the device enters sleep mode and remains enabled when  
the device enters suspend mode. See Section “14. Power Management” on page 159 for complete details  
about low power modes.

18. 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 descriptions. The contents of RAM are  
unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved as long as power is not lost. 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  
during 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 an internal  
oscillator. Refer to Section “19. Clocking Sources” on page 191 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 “26.4. Watchdog Timer Mode” on page 316 details the use of the Watchdog  
Timer). Program execution begins at location 0x0000.

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

18.2. Power-Fail (VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor) Reset  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices have a VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor that is enabled and selected as a reset  
source after each power-on or power-fail reset. When enabled and selected as a reset source, any power  
down transition or power irregularity that causes VDD/DC+ to drop below V  
will cause the RST pin to  
RST  
be driven low and the CIP-51 will be held in a reset state (see Figure 18.3). When VDD/DC+ returns to a  
level above V , the CIP-51 will be released from the reset state.  
RST  
After a power-fail reset, the PORSF flag reads 1, the contents of RAM invalid, and the VDD/DC+ supply  
monitor is enabled and selected as a reset source. The enable state of the VDD/DC+ supply monitor and  
its selection as a reset source is only altered by power-on and power-fail resets. For example, if the  
VDD/DC+ supply monitor is de-selected as a reset source and disabled by software, then a software reset  
is performed, the VDD/DC+ supply monitor will remain disabled and de-selected after the reset.  
In battery-operated systems, the contents of RAM can be preserved near the end of the battery’s usable  
life if the device is placed in sleep mode prior to a power-fail reset occurring. When the device is in sleep  
mode, the power-fail reset is automatically disabled and the contents of RAM are preserved as long as the  
VBAT supply does not fall below V  
. A large capacitor can be used to hold the power supply voltage  
POR  
above V  
while the user is replacing the battery. Upon waking from sleep mode, the enable and reset  
POR  
source select state of the VDD/DC+ supply monitor are restored to the value last set by the user.  
To allow software early notification that a power failure is about to occur, the VDDOK bit is cleared when  
the VDD/DC+ supply falls below the V  
threshold. The VDDOK bit can be configured to generate an  
WARN  
interrupt. See Section “12. Interrupt Handler” on page 136 for more details.  
Important Note: To protect the integrity of Flash contents, the VDD/DC+ supply monitor must be  
enabled and selected as a reset source if software contains routines which erase or write Flash  
memory. If the VDD/DC+ supply monitor is not enabled, any erase or write performed on Flash memory  
will cause a Flash Error device reset.

Important Notes:  
The Power-on Reset (POR) delay is not incurred after a VDD/DC+ supply monitor reset. See Section  
“4. Electrical Characteristics” on page 45 for complete electrical characteristics of the VDD/DC+ moni-  
tor.  
Software should take care not to inadvertently disable the V Monitor as a reset source when writing  
DD  
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.  
DD  
The VDD/DC+ supply monitor must be enabled before selecting it as a reset source. Selecting the  
VDD/DC+ supply monitor as a reset source before it has stabilized may generate a system reset. In  
systems where this reset would be undesirable, a delay should be introduced between enabling the  
VDD/DC+ supply monitor and selecting it as a reset source. See Section “4. Electrical Characteristics”  
on page 45 for minimum VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor turn-on time. No delay should be introduced in  
systems where software contains routines that erase or write Flash memory. The procedure for  
enabling the VDD/DC+ supply monitor and selecting it as a reset source is shown below:  
1. Enable the VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor (VDMEN bit in VDM0CN = 1).  
2. Wait for the VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor to stabilize (optional).  
3. Select the VDD/DC+ Supply Monitor as a reset source (PORSF bit in RSTSRC = 1).

18.3. 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 4.4 for complete RST pin spec-  
ifications. The external reset remains functional even when the device is in the low power suspend and  
sleep modes. The PINRSF flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an external reset.  
18.4. 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 missing clock detector reset is automatically disabled when the device is in the low power Suspend or  
Sleep mode. Upon exit from either low power state, the enabled/disabled state of this reset source is  
restored to its previous value. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
18.5. Comparator0 Reset  
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5).  
Comparator0 should be enabled and allowed to settle prior to writing to C0RSEF to prevent any turn-on  
chatter on the output from generating an unwanted reset. The Comparator0 reset is active-low: if the non-  
inverting input voltage (on CP0+) is less than the inverting input voltage (on CP0-), the device is put into  
the reset state. After a Comparator0 reset, the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5) will read 1 signifying  
Comparator0 as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. The Comparator0 reset source remains func-  
tional even when the device is in the low power suspend and sleep states as long as Comparator0 is also  
enabled as a wake-up source. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
18.6. 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 “26.4. Watchdog Timer Mode” on  
page 316; 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 PCA Watchdog Timer reset source is automatically disabled when the device is in the low  
power Suspend or Sleep mode. Upon exit from either low power state, the enabled/disabled state of this  
reset source is restored to its previous value.The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.

C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
18.7. 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  
“13.3. Security Options” on page 150).  
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.  
18.8. SmaRTClock (Real Time Clock) Reset  
The SmaRTClock can generate a system reset on two events: SmaRTClock Oscillator Fail or SmaRT-  
Clock Alarm. The SmaRTClock Oscillator Fail event occurs when the SmaRTClock Missing Clock Detector  
is enabled and the SmaRTClock clock is below approximately 20 kHz. A SmaRTClock alarm event occurs  
when the SmaRTClock Alarm is enabled and the SmaRTClock timer value matches the ALARMn regis-  
ters. The SmaRTClock can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the RTC0RE flag (RST-  
SRC.7). The SmaRTClock reset remains functional even when the device is in the low power Suspend or  
Sleep mode. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
18.9. 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.

19. Clocking Sources  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include a programmable precision internal oscillator, an external oscillator  
drive circuit, a low power internal oscillator, and a SmaRTClock real time clock oscillator. The precision  
internal oscillator can be enabled/disabled and calibrated using the OSCICN and OSCICL registers, as  
shown in Figure 19.1. The external oscillator can be configured using the OSCXCN register. The low  
power internal oscillator is automatically enabled and disabled when selected and deselected as a clock  
source. SmaRTClock operation is described in the SmaRTClock oscillator chapter.  
The system clock (SYSCLK) can be derived from the precision internal oscillator, external oscillator, low  
power internal oscillator, or SmaRTClock oscillator. The global clock divider can generate a system clock  
that is 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 times slower that the selected input clock source. Oscillator electrical  
specifications can be found in the Electrical Specifications Chapter.

C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
19.1. Programmable Precision Internal Oscillator  
All C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include a programmable precision internal oscillator that may be  
selected as the system clock. OSCICL is factory calibrated to obtain a 24.5 MHz frequency. See Section  
“4. Electrical Characteristics” on page 45 for complete oscillator specifications.  
The precision oscillator supports a spread spectrum mode which modulates the output frequency in order  
to reduce the EMI generated by the system. When enabled (SSE = 1), the oscillator output frequency is  
modulated by a stepped triangle wave whose frequency is equal to the oscillator frequency divided by 384  
(63.8 kHz using the factory calibration). The deviation from the nominal oscillator frequency is +0%, –1.6%,  
and the step size is typically 0.26% of the nominal frequency. When using this mode, the typical average  
oscillator frequency is lowered from 24.5 MHz to 24.3 MHz.  
19.2. Low Power Internal Oscillator  
All C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include a low power internal oscillator that defaults as the system  
clock after a system reset. The low power internal oscillator frequency is 20 MHz ± 10% and is  
automatically enabled when selected as the system clock and disabled when not in use. See Section  
“4. Electrical Characteristics” on page 45 for complete oscillator specifications.  
19.3. External Oscillator Drive Circuit  
All C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an external oscillator circuit that may drive an external crystal,  
ceramic resonator, capacitor, or RC network. A CMOS clock may also provide a clock input. Figure 19.1  
shows a block diagram of the four external oscillator options. The external oscillator is enabled and  
configured using the OSCXCN register.  
The external oscillator output may be selected as the system clock or used to clock some of the digital  
peripherals (e.g., timers, PCA, etc.). See the data sheet chapters for each digital peripheral for details. See  
Section “4. Electrical Characteristics” on page 45 for complete oscillator specifications.  
19.3.1. External Crystal Mode  
If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the external oscillator, the crystal/resonator and a 10 M  
resistor must be wired across the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins as shown in Figure 19.1, Option 1. Appropriate  
loading capacitors should be added to XTAL1 and XTAL2, and both pins should be configured for analog  
I/O with the digital output drivers disabled.  
Figure 19.2 shows the external oscillator circuit for a 20 MHz quartz crystal with a manufacturer  
recommended load capacitance of 12.5 pF. Loading capacitors are "in series" as seen by the crystal and  
"in parallel" with the stray capacitance of the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. The total value of the each loading  
capacitor and the stray capacitance of each XTAL pin should equal 12.5pF x 2 = 25 pF. With a stray  
capacitance of 10 pF per pin, the 15 pF capacitors yield an equivalent series capacitance of 12.5 pF  
across the crystal.  
Note: The recommended load capacitance depends upon the crystal and the manufacturer. Refer to the crystal data  
sheet when completing these calculations.

Figure 19.2. 25 MHz 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.  
When using an external crystal, the external oscillator drive circuit must be configured by software for  
Crystal Oscillator Mode or Crystal Oscillator Mode with divide by 2 stage. The divide by 2 stage ensures  
that the clock derived from the external oscillator has a duty cycle of 50%. The External Oscillator  
Frequency Control value (XFCN) must also be specified based on the crystal frequency. The selection  
should be based on Table 19.1. For example, a 25 MHz crystal requires an XFCN setting of 111b.

When the crystal oscillator is first enabled, the external oscillator valid detector allows software to  
determine when the external system clock has stabilized. Switching to the external oscillator before the  
crystal oscillator has stabilized can result in unpredictable behavior. The recommended procedure for  
starting the crystal is:  
1. Configure XTAL1 and XTAL2 for analog I/O and disable the digital output drivers.  
2. Configure and enable the external oscillator.  
3. Poll for XTLVLD > 1.  
4. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.

C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
19.3.2. External RC Mode  
If an RC network is used as the external oscillator, the circuit should be configured as shown in  
Figure 19.1, Option 2. The RC network should be added to XTAL2, and XTAL2 should be configured for  
analog I/O with the digital output drivers disabled. XTAL1 is not affected in RC mode.  
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. The resistor should be no smaller than  
10k. The oscillation frequency can be determined by the following equation:

where  
f = frequency of clock in MHz  
R = pull-up resistor value in k  
V

C = capacitor value on the XTAL2 pin in pF  
DD  
To determine 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. For example, if the  
frequency desired is 100 kHz, let R = 246 kand C = 50 pF:

When the RC oscillator is first enabled, the external oscillator valid detector allows software to determine  
when oscillation has stabilized. The recommended procedure for starting the RC oscillator is:  
1. Configure XTAL2 for analog I/O and disable the digital output drivers.  
2. Configure and enable the external oscillator.  
3. Poll for XTLVLD > 1.  
4. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.  
19.3.3. External Capacitor Mode  
If a capacitor is used as the external oscillator, the circuit should be configured as shown in Figure 19.1,  
Option 3. The capacitor should be added to XTAL2, and XTAL2 should be configured for analog I/O with  
the digital output drivers disabled. XTAL1 is not affected in RC mode.  
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. The oscillation frequency and the required  
External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register can be determined by the  
following equation:  
KF  
C VDD  
---------------------  
f =  
where  
f = frequency of clock in MHz  
R = pull-up resistor value in k  
V
= power supply voltage in Volts C = capacitor value on the XTAL2 pin in pF  
DD  
Below is an example of selecting the capacitor and finding the frequency of oscillation Assume V = 3.0 V  
DD  
and f = 150 kHz:  
KF  
C VDD  
---------------------  
f =  
KF  
C 3.0  
-----------------  
0.150 MHz =  
Since a frequency of roughly 150 kHz is desired, select the K Factor from Table 19.2 as KF = 22:  
22  
C 3.0 V  
-----------------------  
0.150 MHz =  
22  
----------------------------------------------  
C =  
0.150 MHz 3.0 V  
C = 48.8 pF  
Therefore, the XFCN value to use in this example is 011 and C is approximately 50 pF.  
The recommended startup procedure for C mode is the same as RC mode.

19.3.4. External CMOS Clock Mode  
If an external CMOS clock is used as the external oscillator, the clock should be directly routed into XTAL2.  
The XTAL2 pin should be configured as a digital input. XTAL1 is not used in external CMOS clock mode.  
The external oscillator valid detector will always return zero when the external oscillator is configured to  
External CMOS Clock mode.

19.4. Special Function Registers for Selecting and Configuring the System Clock  
The clocking sources on C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices are enabled and configured using the OSCICN,  
OSCICL, OSCXCN and the SmaRTClock internal registers. See Section “20. SmaRTClock (Real Time  
Clock)” on page 200 for SmaRTClock register descriptions. The system clock source for the MCU can be  
selected using the CLKSEL register. To minimize active mode current, the oneshot timer which sets Flash  
read time should by bypassed when the system clock is greater than 10 MHz. See the FLSCL register  
description for details.  
The clock selected as the system clock can be divided by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. When switching  
between two clock divide values, the transition may take up to 128 cycles of the undivided clock source.  
The CLKRDY flag can be polled to determine when the new clock divide value has been applied. The clock  
divider must be set to "divide by 1" when entering suspend or sleep mode.  
The system clock source may also be switched on-the-fly. The switchover takes effect after one clock  
period of the slower oscillator.

20. SmaRTClock (Real Time Clock)  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an ultra low power 32-bit SmaRTClock Peripheral (Real Time  
Clock) with alarm. The SmaRTClock has a dedicated 32 kHz oscillator that can be configured for use with  
or without a crystal. No external resistor or loading capacitors are required. The on-chip loading capacitors  
are programmable to 16 discrete levels allowing compatibility with a wide range of crystals. The SmaRT-  
Clock can operate directly from a 0.9–3.6 V battery voltage and remains operational even when the device  
goes into its lowest power down mode.  
The SmaRTClock allows a maximum of 36 hour 32-bit independent time-keeping when used with a  
32.768 kHz Watch Crystal. The SmaRTClock provides an Alarm and Missing SmaRTClock events, which  
could be used as reset or wakeup sources. See Section “18. Reset Sources” on page 184 and Section  
“14. Power Management” on page 159 for details on reset sources and low power mode wake-up sources,  
respectively.

20.1. SmaRTClock Interface  
The SmaRTClock Interface consists of three registers: RTC0KEY, RTC0ADR, and RTC0DAT. These inter-  
face registers are located on the CIP-51’s SFR map and provide access to the SmaRTClock internal regis-  
ters listed in Table 20.1. The SmaRTClock internal registers can only be accessed indirectly through the  
SmaRTClock Interface.

Registers  
Four registers used for setting or reading the

20.1.1. SmaRTClock Lock and Key Functions  
The SmaRTClock Interface is protected with a lock and key function. The SmaRTClock Lock and Key Reg-  
ister (RTC0KEY) must be written with the correct key codes, in sequence, before writes and reads to  
RTC0ADR and RTC0DAT may be performed. The key codes are: 0xA5, 0xF1. There are no timing restric-  
tions, but the key codes must be written in order. If the key codes are written out of order, the wrong codes  
are written, or an indirect register read or write is attempted while the interface is locked, the SmaRTClock  
interface will be disabled, and the RTC0ADR and RTC0DAT registers will become inaccessible until the  
next system reset. Once the SmaRTClock interface is unlocked, software may perform any number of  
accesses to the SmaRTClock registers until the interface is re-locked or the device is reset. Any write to  
RTC0KEY while the SmaRTClock interface is unlocked will re-lock the interface.  
Reading the RTC0KEY register at any time will provide the SmaRTClock Interface status and will not inter-  
fere with the sequence that is being written. The RTC0KEY register description in SFR Definition 20.1 lists  
the definition of each status code.  
Rev. 1.3  
201  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
20.1.2. Using RTC0ADR and RTC0DAT to Access SmaRTClock Internal Registers  
The SmaRTClock internal registers can be read and written using RTC0ADR and RTC0DAT. The  
RTC0ADR register selects the SmaRTClock internal register that will be targeted by subsequent reads or  
writes. Recommended instruction timing is provided in this section. If the recommended instruction timing  
is not followed, then BUSY (RTC0ADR.7) should be checked prior to each read or write operation to make  
sure the SmaRTClock Interface is not busy performing the previous read or write operation. A  
SmaRTClock Write operation is initiated by writing to the RTC0DAT register. Below is an example of  
writing to a SmaRTClock internal register.  
1. Poll BUSY (RTC0ADR.7) until it returns 0 or follow recommended instruction timing.  
2. Write 0x05 to RTC0ADR. This selects the internal RTC0CN register at SmaRTClock Address  
0x05.  
3. Write 0x00 to RTC0DAT. This operation writes 0x00 to the internal RTC0CN register.  
A SmaRTClock Read operation is initiated by setting the SmaRTClock Interface Busy bit. This transfers  
the contents of the internal register selected by RTC0ADR to RTC0DAT. The transferred data will remain in  
RTC0DAT until the next read or write operation. Below is an example of reading a SmaRTClock internal  
register.  
1. Poll BUSY (RTC0ADR.7) until it returns 0 or follow recommended instruction timing.  
2. Write 0x05 to RTC0ADR. This selects the internal RTC0CN register at SmaRTClock Address  
0x05.  
3. Write 1 to BUSY. This initiates the transfer of data from RTC0CN to RTC0DAT.  
4. Poll BUSY (RTC0ADR.7) until it returns 0 or follow recommend instruction timing.  
5. Read data from RTC0DAT. This data is a copy of the RTC0CN register.   
Note: The RTC0ADR and RTC0DAT registers will retain their state upon a device reset.  
20.1.3. RTC0ADR Short Strobe Feature  
Reads and writes to indirect SmaRTClock registers normally take 7 system clock cycles. To minimize the  
indirect register access time, the Short Strobe feature decreases the read and write access time to 6  
system clocks. The Short Strobe feature is automatically enabled on reset and can be manually  
enabled/disabled using the SHORT (RTC0ADR.4) control bit.

Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
20.1.4. SmaRTClock Interface Autoread Feature  
When Autoread is enabled, each read from RTC0DAT initiates the next indirect read operation on the  
SmaRTClock internal register selected by RTC0ADR. Software should set the BUSY bit once at the  
beginning of each series of consecutive reads. Software should follow recommended instruction timing or  
check if the SmaRTClock Interface is busy prior to reading RTC0DAT. Autoread is enabled by setting  
AUTORD (RTC0ADR.6) to logic 1.  
20.1.5. RTC0ADR Autoincrement Feature  
For ease of reading and writing the 32-bit CAPTURE and ALARM values, RTC0ADR automatically  
increments after each read or write to a CAPTUREn or ALARMn register. This speeds up the process of  
setting an alarm or reading the current SmaRTClock timer value. Autoincrement is always enabled.

20.2. SmaRTClock Clocking Sources  
The SmaRTClock peripheral is clocked from its own timebase, independent of the system clock. The  
SmaRTClock timebase is derived from the SmaRTClock oscillator circuit, which has two modes of opera-  
tion: Crystal Mode, and Self-Oscillate Mode. The oscillation frequency is 32.768 kHz in Crystal Mode and  
can be programmed in the range of 10 kHz to 40 kHz in Self-Oscillate Mode. The frequency of the SmaRT-  
Clock oscillator can be measured with respect to another oscillator using an on-chip timer. See Section  
“25. Timers” on page 283 for more information on how this can be accomplished.  
Note: The SmaRTClock timebase can be selected as the system clock and routed to a port pin. See Sec-  
tion “19. Clocking Sources” on page 191 for information on selecting the system clock source and Section  
“21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 for information on how to route the system clock to a port pin.  
20.2.1. Using the SmaRTClock Oscillator with a Crystal or External CMOS Clock  
When using crystal mode, a 32.768 kHz crystal should be connected between XTAL3 and XTAL4. No other  
external components are required. The following steps show how to start the SmaRTClock crystal oscilla-  
tor in software:  
1. Set SmaRTClock to Crystal Mode (XMODE = 1).  
2. Disable Automatic Gain Control (AGCEN) and enable Bias Doubling (BIASX2) for fast crystal  
startup.  
3. Set the desired loading capacitance (RTC0XCF).  
4. Enable power to the SmaRTClock oscillator circuit (RTC0EN = 1).  
5. Wait 20 ms.  
6. Poll the SmaRTClock Clock Valid Bit (CLKVLD) until the crystal oscillator stabilizes.  
7. Poll the SmaRTClock Load Capacitance Ready Bit (LOADRDY) until the load capacitance  
reaches its programmed value.  
8. Enable Automatic Gain Control (AGCEN) and disable Bias Doubling (BIASX2) for maximum  
power savings.  
9. Enable the SmaRTClock missing clock detector.  
10. Wait 2 ms.  
11. Clear the PMU0CF wake-up source flags.  
In crystal mode, the SmaRTClock oscillator may be driven by an external CMOS clock. The CMOS clock  
should be applied to XTAL3. XTAL4 should be left floating. The input low voltage (VIL) and input high  
voltage (VIH) for XTAL3 when used with an external CMOS clock are 0.1 and 0.8 V, respectively. The  
SmaRTClock oscillator should be configured to its lowest bias setting with AGC disabled. The CLKVLD bit  
is indeterminate when using a CMOS clock, however, the OSCFAIL bit may be checked 2 ms after  
SmaRTClock oscillator is powered on to ensure that there is a valid clock on XTAL3.  
20.2.2. Using the SmaRTClock Oscillator in Self-Oscillate Mode  
When using Self-Oscillate Mode, the XTAL3 and XTAL4 pins should be shorted together. The RTC0PIN  
register can be used to internally short XTAL3 and XTAL4. The following steps show how to configure  
SmaRTClock for use in Self-Oscillate Mode:  
1. Set SmaRTClock to Self-Oscillate Mode (XMODE = 0).  
2. Set the desired oscillation frequency:  
For oscillation at about 20 kHz, set BIASX2 = 0.  
For oscillation at about 40 kHz, set BIASX2 = 1.  
3. The oscillator starts oscillating instantaneously.  
4. Fine tune the oscillation frequency by adjusting the load capacitance (RTC0XCF).

20.2.3. Programmable Load Capacitance  
The programmable load capacitance has 16 values to support crystal oscillators with a wide range of rec-  
ommended load capacitance. If Automatic Load Capacitance Stepping is enabled, the crystal load capaci-  
tors start at the smallest setting to allow a fast startup time, then slowly increase the capacitance until the  
final programmed value is reached. The final programmed loading capacitor value is specified using the  
LOADCAP bits in the RTC0XCF register. The LOADCAP setting specifies the amount of on-chip load  
capacitance and does not include any stray PCB capacitance. Once the final programmed loading capaci-  
tor value is reached, the LOADRDY flag will be set by hardware to logic 1.  
When using the SmaRTClock oscillator in Self-Oscillate mode, the programmable load capacitance can be  
used to fine tune the oscillation frequency. In most cases, increasing the load capacitor value will result in  
a decrease in oscillation frequency. Table 20.2 shows the crystal load capacitance for various settings of  
LOADCAP.

20.2.4. Automatic Gain Control (Crystal Mode Only) and SmaRTClock Bias Doubling  
Automatic Gain Control allows the SmaRTClock oscillator to trim the oscillation amplitude of a crystal in  
order to achieve the lowest possible power consumption. Automatic Gain Control automatically detects  
when the oscillation amplitude has reached a point where it safe to reduce the drive current, therefore, it  
may be enabled during crystal startup. It is recommended to enable Automatic Gain Control in most  
systems which use the SmaRTClock oscillator in Crystal Mode. The following are recommended crystal  
specifications and operating conditions when Automatic Gain Control is enabled:  
ESR < 50 k  
Load Capacitance < 10 pF  
Supply Voltage < 3.0 V  
Temperature > –20 °C  
When using Automatic Gain Control, it is recommended to perform an oscillation robustness test to ensure  
that the chosen crystal will oscillate under the worst case condition to which the system will be exposed.  
The worst case condition that should result in the least robust oscillation is at the following system  
conditions: lowest temperature, highest supply voltage, highest ESR, highest load capacitance, and lowest  
bias current (AGC enabled, Bias Double Disabled).  
To perform the oscillation robustness test, the SmaRTClock oscillator should be enabled and selected as  
the system clock source. Next, the SYSCLK signal should be routed to a port pin configured as a push-pull  
digital output. The positive duty cycle of the output clock can be used as an indicator of oscillation  
robustness. As shown in Figure 20.2, duty cycles less than 55% indicate a robust oscillation. As the duty  
cycle approaches 60%, oscillation becomes less reliable and the risk of clock failure increases. Increasing  
the bias current (by disabling AGC) will always improve oscillation robustness and will reduce the output  
clock’s duty cycle. This test should be performed at the worst case system conditions, as results at very  
low temperatures or high supply voltage will vary from results taken at room temperature or low supply  
voltage.

Figure 20.2. Interpreting Oscillation Robustness (Duty Cycle) Test Results  
As an alternative to performing the oscillation robustness test, Automatic Gain Control may be disabled at  
the cost of increased power consumption (approximately 200 nA). Disabling Automatic Gain Control will  
provide the crystal oscillator with higher immunity against external factors which may lead to clock failure.  
Automatic Gain Control must be disabled if using the SmaRTClock oscillator in self-oscillate mode.

Table 20.3 shows a summary of the oscillator bias settings. The SmaRTClock Bias Doubling feature allows  
the self-oscillation frequency to be increased (almost doubled) and allows a higher crystal drive strength in  
crystal mode. High crystal drive strength is recommended when the crystal is exposed to poor  
environmental conditions such as excessive moisture. SmaRTClock Bias Doubling is enabled by setting  
BIASX2 (RTC0XCN.5) to 1.

20.2.5. Missing SmaRTClock Detector  
The missing SmaRTClock detector is a one-shot circuit enabled by setting MCLKEN (RTC0CN.6) to 1.  
When the SmaRTClock Missing Clock Detector is enabled, OSCFAIL (RTC0CN.5) is set by hardware if  
SmaRTClock oscillator remains high or low for more than 100 µs.  
A SmaRTClock Missing Clock detector timeout can trigger an interrupt, wake the device from a low power  
mode, or reset the device. See Section “12. Interrupt Handler” on page 136, Section “14. Power  
Management” on page 159, and Section “18. Reset Sources” on page 184 for more information.  
Note: The SmaRTClock Missing Clock Detector should be disabled when making changes to the oscillator settings in  
RTC0XCN.  
20.2.6. SmaRTClock Oscillator Crystal Valid Detector  
The SmaRTClock oscillator crystal valid detector is an oscillation amplitude detector circuit used during  
crystal startup to determine when oscillation has started and is nearly stable. The output of this detector  
can be read from the CLKVLD bit (RTX0XCN.4).  
Notes:  
The CLKVLD bit has a blanking interval of 2 ms. During the first 2 ms after turning on the crystal oscil-  
lator, the output of CLKVLD is not valid.  
This SmaRTClock crystal valid detector (CLKVLD) is not intended for detecting an oscillator failure.  
The missing SmaRTClock detector (CLKFAIL) should be used for this purpose.  
20.3. SmaRTClock Timer and Alarm Function  
The SmaRTClock timer is a 32-bit counter that, when running (RTC0TR = 1), is incremented every  
SmaRTClock oscillator cycle. The timer has an alarm function that can be set to generate an interrupt,  
wake the device from a low power mode, or reset the device at a specific time. See Section “12. Interrupt  
Handler” on page 136, Section “14. Power Management” on page 159, and Section “18. Reset Sources”  
on page 184 for more information.  
The SmaRTClock timer includes an Auto Reset feature, which automatically resets the timer to zero one  
SmaRTClock cycle after an alarm occurs. When using Auto Reset, the Alarm match value should always  
be set to 1 count less than the desired match value. Auto Reset can be enabled by writing a 1 to ALRM  
(RTC0CN.2).  
20.3.1. Setting and Reading the SmaRTClock Timer Value  
The 32-bit SmaRTClock timer can be set or read using the six CAPTUREn internal registers. Note that the  
timer does not need to be stopped before reading or setting its value. The following steps can be used to  
set the timer value:  
1. Write the desired 32-bit set value to the CAPTUREn registers.  
2. Write 1 to RTC0SET. This will transfer the contents of the CAPTUREn registers to the SmaRT-  
Clock timer.  
3. Operation is complete when RTC0SET is cleared to 0 by hardware.  
The following steps can be used to read the current timer value:  
1. Write 1 to RTC0CAP. This will transfer the contents of the timer to the CAPTUREn registers.  
2. Poll RTC0CAP until it is cleared to 0 by hardware.  
3. A snapshot of the timer value can be read from the CAPTUREn registers

Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
20.3.2. Setting a SmaRTClock Alarm  
The SmaRTClock alarm function compares the 32-bit value of SmaRTClock Timer to the value of the  
ALARMn registers. An alarm event is triggered if the SmaRTClock timer is equal to the ALARMn registers.  
If Auto Reset is enabled, the 32-bit timer will be cleared to zero one SmaRTClock cycle after the alarm  
event.  
The SmaRTClock alarm event can be configured to reset the MCU, wake it up from a low power mode, or  
generate an interrupt. See Section “12. Interrupt Handler” on page 136, Section “14. Power Management”  
on page 159, and Section “18. Reset Sources” on page 184 for more information.  
The following steps can be used to set up a SmaRTClock Alarm:  
1. Disable SmaRTClock Alarm Events (RTC0AEN = 0).  
2. Set the ALARMn registers to the desired value.  
3. Enable SmaRTClock Alarm Events (RTC0AEN = 1).  
Notes:  
The ALRM bit, which is used as the SmaRTClock Alarm Event flag, is cleared by disabling SmaRT-  
Clock Alarm Events (RTC0AEN = 0).  
If AutoReset is disabled, disabling (RTC0AEN = 0) then Re-enabling Alarm Events (RTC0AEN = 1)  
after a SmaRTClock Alarm without modifying ALARMn registers will automatically schedule the next  
alarm after 2^32 SmaRTClock cycles (approximately 36 hours using a 32.768 kHz crystal).  
The SmaRTClock Alarm Event flag will remain asserted for a maximum of one SmaRTClock cycle.  
See Section “14. Power Management” on page 159 for information on how to capture a SmaRTClock  
Alarm event using a flag which is not automatically cleared by hardware.  
20.3.3. Software Considerations for using the SmaRTClock Timer and Alarm  
The SmaRTClock timer and alarm have two operating modes to suit varying applications. The two modes  
are described below:  
Mode 1:  
The first mode uses the SmaRTClock timer as a perpetual timebase which is never reset to zero. Every 36  
hours, the timer is allowed to overflow without being stopped or disrupted. The alarm interval is software  
managed and is added to the ALRMn registers by software after each alarm. This allows the alarm match  
value to always stay ahead of the timer by one software managed interval. If software uses 32-bit unsigned  
addition to increment the alarm match value, then it does not need to handle overflows since both the timer  
and the alarm match value will overflow in the same manner.  
This mode is ideal for applications which have a long alarm interval (e.g. 24 or 36 hours) and/or have a  
need for a perpetual timebase. An example of an application that needs a perpetual timebase is one  
whose wake-up interval is constantly changing. For these applications, software can keep track of the  
number of timer overflows in a 16-bit variable, extending the 32-bit (36 hour) timer to a 48-bit (272 year)  
perpetual timebase.  
Mode 2:  
The second mode uses the SmaRTClock timer as a general purpose up counter which is auto reset to zero  
by hardware after each alarm. The alarm interval is managed by hardware and stored in the ALRMn  
registers. Software only needs to set the alarm interval once during device initialization. After each alarm,  
software should keep a count of the number of alarms that have occurred in order to keep track of time.  
This mode is ideal for applications that require minimal software intervention and/or have a fixed alarm  
interval. This mode is the most power efficient since it requires less CPU time per alarm.

21. Port Input/Output  
Digital and analog resources are available through 24 I/O pins (C8051F930/20) or 16 I/O pins  
(C8051F931/21). Port pins are organized as three byte-wide ports. Port pins P0.0–P2.6 can be defined as  
digital or analog I/O. Digital I/O pins can be assigned to one of the internal digital resources or used as  
general purpose I/O (GPIO). Analog I/O pins are used by the internal analog resources. P2.7 can be used  
as GPIO and is shared with the C2 Interface Data signal (C2D). See Section “27. C2 Interface” on  
page 324 for more details.  
The designer has complete control over which digital and analog functions are assigned to individual port  
pins, limited only by the number of physical I/O pins. This resource assignment flexibility is achieved  
through the use of a Priority Crossbar Decoder. See Section 21.3 for more information on the Crossbar.  
All Port I/Os are 5 V tolerant when used as digital inputs or open-drain outputs. For Port I/Os configured as  
push-pull outputs, current is sourced from the VDD/DC+ supply. Port I/Os used for analog functions can  
operate up to the VDD/DC+ supply voltage. See Section 21.1 for more information on Port I/O operating  
modes and the electrical specifications chapter for detailed electrical specifications.

21.1. Port I/O Modes of Operation  
Port pins P0.0–P2.6 use the Port I/O cell shown in Figure 21.2. Each Port I/O cell can be configured by  
software for analog I/O or digital I/O using the PnMDIN registers. On reset, all Port I/O cells default to a dig-  
ital high impedance state with weak pull-ups enabled.  
21.1.1. Port Pins Configured for Analog I/O  
Any pins to be used as Comparator or ADC input, external oscillator input/output, or AGND, VREF, or Cur-  
rent Reference output should be configured for analog I/O (PnMDIN.n = 0). When a pin is configured for  
analog I/O, its weak pullup and digital receiver are disabled. In most cases, software should also disable  
the digital output drivers. Port pins configured for analog I/O will always read back a value of 0 regardless  
of the actual voltage on the pin.  
Configuring pins as analog I/O saves power and isolates the Port pin from digital interference. Port pins  
configured as digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however, this practice is not recom-  
mended and may result in measurement errors.  
21.1.2. Port Pins Configured For Digital I/O  
Any pins to be used by digital peripherals (UART, SPI, SMBus, etc.), external digital event capture func-  
tions, or as GPIO should be configured as digital I/O (PnMDIN.n = 1). For digital I/O pins, one of two output  
modes (push-pull or open-drain) must be selected using the PnMDOUT registers.  
Push-pull outputs (PnMDOUT.n = 1) drive the Port pad to the VDD/DC+ or GND supply rails based on the  
output logic value of the Port pin. Open-drain outputs have the high side driver disabled; therefore, they  
only drive the Port pad to GND when the output logic value is 0 and become high impedance inputs (both  
high and low drivers turned off) when the output logic value is 1.  
When a digital I/O cell is placed in the high impedance state, a weak pull-up transistor pulls the Port pad to  
the VDD/DC+ supply voltage to ensure the digital input is at a defined logic state. Weak pull-ups are dis-  
abled when the I/O cell is driven to GND to minimize power consumption and may be globally disabled by  
setting WEAKPUD to 1. The user must ensure that digital I/O are always internally or externally pulled or  
driven to a valid logic state. Port pins configured for digital I/O always read back the logic state of the Port  
pad, regardless of the output logic value of the Port pin.

21.1.3. Interfacing Port I/O to 5 V and 3.3 V Logic  
All Port I/O configured for digital, open-drain operation are capable of interfacing to digital logic operating  
at a supply voltage higher than 4.5 V and less than 5.25 V. When the supply voltage is in the range of 1.8  
to 2.2 V, the I/O may also interface to digital logic operating between 3.0 to 3.6 V if the input signal  
frequency is less than 12.5 MHz or less than 25 MHz if the signal rise time (10% to 90%) is less than  
1.2 ns. When operating at a supply voltage above 2.2 V, the device should not interface to 3.3 V logic;  
however, interfacing to 5 V logic is permitted. An external pull-up resistor to the higher supply voltage is  
typically required for most systems.  
Important Notes:  
When interfacing to a signal that is between 4.5 and 5.25 V, the maximum clock frequency that may be  
input on a GPIO pin is 12.5 MHz. The exception to this rule is when routing an external CMOS clock to  
P0.3, in which case, a signal up to 25 MHz is valid as long as the rise time (10% to 90%) is shorter  
than 1.8 ns.  
When the supply voltage is less than 2.2 V and interfacing to a signal that is between 3.0 and 3.6 V,  
the maximum clock frequency that may be input on a GPIO pin is 3.125 MHz. The exception to this  
rule is when routing an external CMOS clock to P0.3, in which case, a signal up to 25 MHz is valued as  
long as the rise time (10% to 90%) is shorter than 1.2 ns.  
In a multi-voltage interface, the external pull-up resistor should be sized to allow a current of at least  
150 μA to flow into the Port pin when the supply voltage is between (VDD/DC+ plus 0.4 V) and  
(VDD/DC+ plus 1.0 V). Once the Port pad voltage increases beyond this range, the current flowing into  
the Port pin is minimal.  
These guidelines only apply to multi-voltage interfaces. Port I/Os may always interface to digital logic  
operating at the same supply voltage.  
21.1.4. Increasing Port I/O Drive Strength  
Port I/O output drivers support a high and low drive strength; the default is low drive strength. The drive  
strength of a Port I/O can be configured using the PnDRV registers. See Section “4. Electrical  
Characteristics” on page 45 for the difference in output drive strength between the two modes.  
21.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog and Digital Functions  
Port I/O pins P0.0–P2.6 can be assigned to various analog, digital, and external interrupt functions. The  
Port pins assuaged to analog functions should be configured for analog I/O and Port pins assuaged to dig-  
ital or external interrupt functions should be configured for digital I/O.  
21.2.1. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog Functions  
Table 21.1 shows all available analog functions that need Port I/O assignments. Port pins selected for  
these analog functions should have their digital drivers disabled (PnMDOUT.n = 0 and Port Latch =  
1) and their corresponding bit in PnSKIP set to 1. This reserves the pin for use by the analog function  
and does not allow it to be claimed by the Crossbar. Table 21.1 shows the potential mapping of Port I/O to  
each analog function.

21.2.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Digital Functions  
Any Port pins not assigned to analog functions may be assigned to digital functions or used as GPIO. Most  
digital functions rely on the Crossbar for pin assignment; however, some digital functions bypass the  
Crossbar in a manner similar to the analog functions listed above. Port pins used by these digital func-  
tions and any Port pins selected for use as GPIO should have their corresponding bit in PnSKIP set  
to 1. Table 21.2 shows all available digital functions and the potential mapping of Port I/O to each digital  
function.

External digital event capture functions can be used to trigger an interrupt or wake the device from a low  
power mode when a transition occurs on a digital I/O pin. The digital event capture functions do not require  
dedicated pins and will function on both GPIO pins (PnSKIP = 1) and pins in use by the Crossbar (PnSKIP  
= 0). External digital even capture functions cannot be used on pins configured for analog I/O. Table 21.3  
shows all available external digital event capture functions.

21.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder  
The Priority Crossbar Decoder assigns a Port I/O pin to each software selected digital function using the  
fixed peripheral priority order shown in Figure 21.3. The registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2 defined in SFR  
Definition 21.1, SFR Definition 21.2, and SFR Definition 21.3 are used to select digital functions in the  
Crossbar. The Port pins available for assignment by the Crossbar include all Port pins (P0.0–P2.6) which  
have their corresponding bit in PnSKIP set to 0.  
From Figure 21.3, the highest priority peripheral is UART0. If UART0 is selected in the Crossbar (using the  
XBRn registers), then P0.4 and P0.5 will be assigned to UART0. The next highest priority peripheral is  
SPI1. If SPI1 is selected in the Crossbar, then P1.0–P1.2 will be assigned to SPI1. P1.3 will be assigned if  
SPI1 is configured for 4-wire mode. The user should ensure that the pins to be assigned by the Crossbar  
have their PnSKIP bits set to 0.  
For all remaining digital functions selected in the Crossbar, starting at the top of Figure 21.3 going down,  
the least-significant unskipped, unassigned Port pin(s) are assigned to that function. If a Port pin is already  
assigned (e.g., UART0 or SPI1 pins), or if its PnSKIP bit is set to 1, then the Crossbar will skip over the pin  
and find next available unskipped, unassigned Port pin. All Port pins used for analog functions, GPIO, or  
dedicated digital functions such as the EMIF should have their PnSKIP bit set to 1.  
Figure 21.3 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with no Port pins skipped (P0SKIP, P1SKIP, P2SKIP =  
0x00); Figure 21.4 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with the External Oscillator pins (XTAL1 and  
XTAL2) skipped (P0SKIP = 0x0C).  
Important Notes:  
The Crossbar must be enabled (XBARE = 1) before any Port pin is used as a digital output. Port output  
drivers are disabled while the Crossbar is disabled.  
When SMBus is selected in the Crossbar, the pins associated with SDA and SCL will automatically be  
forced into open-drain output mode regardless of the PnMDOUT setting.  
SPI0 can be operated in either 3-wire or 4-wire modes, depending on the state of the NSSMD1-  
NSSMD0 bits in register SPI0CN. The NSS signal is only routed to a Port pin when 4-wire mode is  
selected. When SPI0 is selected in the Crossbar, the SPI0 mode (3-wire or 4-wire) will affect the pinout  
of all digital functions lower in priority than SPI0.  
For given XBRn, PnSKIP, and SPInCN register settings, one can determine the I/O pin-out of the  
device using Figure 21.3 and Figure 21.4.

21.4. Port Match  
Port match functionality allows system events to be triggered by a logic value change on P0 or P1. A  
software controlled value stored in the PnMAT registers specifies the expected or normal logic values of P0  
and P1. A Port mismatch event occurs if the logic levels of the Port’s input pins no longer match the  
software controlled value. This allows Software to be notified if a certain change or pattern occurs on P0 or  
P1 input pins regardless of the XBRn settings. Note: On C8051F931/21 devices, Port Match is not  
available on P1.6 or P1.7.  
The PnMASK registers can be used to individually select which P0 and P1 pins should be compared  
against the PnMAT registers. A Port mismatch event is generated if (P0 & P0MASK) does not equal  
(PnMAT & P0MASK) or if (P1 & P1MASK) does not equal (PnMAT & P1MASK).  
A Port mismatch event may be used to generate an interrupt or wake the device from a low power mode.  
See Section “12. Interrupt Handler” on page 136 and Section “14. Power Management” on page 159 for  
more details on interrupt and wake-up sources.

21.5. Special Function Registers for Accessing and Configuring Port I/O  
All Port I/O are accessed through corresponding special function registers (SFRs) that are both byte  
addressable and bit addressable. When writing to a Port, the value written to the SFR is latched to main-  
tain 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.  
Each Port has a corresponding PnSKIP register which allows its individual Port pins to be assigned to dig-  
ital functions or skipped by the Crossbar. All Port pins used for analog functions, GPIO, or dedicated digital  
functions such as the EMIF should have their PnSKIP bit set to 1.  
The Port input mode of the I/O pins is defined using the Port Input Mode registers (PnMDIN). Each Port  
cell can be configured for analog or digital I/O. This selection is required even for the digital resources  
selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only exception to this is P2.7, which can only be  
used for digital I/O.  
The output driver characteristics of the I/O pins are defined using the Port Output Mode registers (PnMD-  
OUT). Each Port Output driver can be configured as either open drain or push-pull. This selection is  
required even for the digital resources selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only  
exception to this is the SMBus (SDA, SCL) pins, which are configured as open-drain regardless of the  
PnMDOUT settings.  
The drive strength of the output drivers are controlled by the Port Drive Strength (PnDRV) registers. The  
default is low drive strength. See Section “4. Electrical Characteristics” on page 45 for the difference in out-  
put drive strength between the two modes.

22. SMBus  
The SMBus I/O interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus. The SMBus is compliant with the System  
2
Management Bus Specification, version 1.1, and compatible with the I C serial bus. Reads and writes to  
the interface by the system controller are byte oriented with the SMBus interface autonomously controlling  
the serial transfer of the data. Data can be transferred at up to 1/20th of the system clock as a master or  
slave (this can be faster than allowed by the SMBus specification, depending on the system clock used). A  
method of extending the clock-low duration is available to accommodate devices with different speed  
capabilities on the same bus.  
The SMBus interface may operate as a master and/or slave, and may function on a bus with multiple  
masters. The SMBus provides control of SDA (serial data), SCL (serial clock) generation and  
synchronization, arbitration logic, and START/STOP control and generation. The SMBus peripheral can be  
fully driven by software (i.e., software accepts/rejects slave addresses, and generates ACKs), or hardware  
slave address recognition and automatic ACK generation can be enabled to minimize software overhead.  
A block diagram of the SMBus peripheral and the associated SFRs is shown in Figure 22.1.

22.2. SMBus Configuration  
Figure 22.2 shows a typical SMBus configuration. The SMBus specification allows any recessive voltage  
between 3.0 V and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage levels. The bi-  
directional SCL (serial clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply  
voltage through a pullup resistor or similar circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-  
drain or open-collector output for both the SCL and SDA lines, so that both are pulled high (recessive  
state) when the bus is free. The maximum number of devices on the bus is limited only by the requirement  
that the rise and fall times on the bus not exceed 300 ns and 1000 ns, respectively.

22.3. SMBus Operation  
Two types of data transfers are possible: data transfers from a master transmitter to an addressed slave  
receiver (WRITE), and data transfers from an addressed slave transmitter to a master receiver (READ).  
The master device initiates both types of data transfers and provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. The  
SMBus interface may operate as a master or a slave, and multiple master devices on the same bus are  
supported. If two or more masters attempt to initiate a data transfer simultaneously, an arbitration scheme  
is employed with a single master always winning the arbitration. Note that it is not necessary to specify one  
device as the Master in a system; any device who transmits a START and a slave address becomes the  
master for the duration of that transfer.  
A typical SMBus transaction consists of a START condition followed by an address byte (Bits7–1: 7-bit  
slave address; Bit0: R/W direction bit), one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Bytes that are  
received (by a master or slave) are acknowledged (ACK) with a low SDA during a high SCL (see  
Figure 22.3). If the receiving device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a NACK (not  
acknowledge), which is a high SDA during a high SCL.  
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set  
to logic 1 to indicate a "READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.  
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The  
master generates the START condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the  
transaction is a WRITE operation from the master to the slave, the master transmits the data a byte at a  
time waiting for an ACK from the slave at the end of each byte. For READ operations, the slave transmits  
the data waiting for an ACK from the master at the end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the  
master generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction and free the bus. Figure 22.3 illustrates a  
typical SMBus transaction.

22.3.1. Transmitter Vs. Receiver  
On the SMBus communications interface, a device is the “transmitter” when it is sending an address or  
data byte to another device on the bus. A device is a “receiver” when an address or data byte is being sent  
to it from another device on the bus. The transmitter controls the SDA line during the address or data byte.  
After each byte of address or data information is sent by the transmitter, the receiver sends an ACK or  
NACK bit during the ACK phase of the transfer, during which time the receiver controls the SDA line.  
240  
Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
22.3.2. Arbitration  
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is free. The bus is free after a STOP condition or after the SCL  
and SDA lines remain high for a specified time (see Section “22.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout” on  
page 241). In the event that two or more devices attempt to begin a transfer at the same time, an  
arbitration scheme is employed to force one master to give up the bus. The master devices continue  
transmitting until one attempts a HIGH while the other transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-drain, the  
bus will be pulled LOW. The master attempting the HIGH will detect a LOW SDA and lose the arbitration.  
The winning master continues its transmission without interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and  
receives the rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration scheme is non-destructive: one device  
always wins, and no data is lost.  
22.3.3. Clock Low Extension  
2
SMBus provides a clock synchronization mechanism, similar to I C, which allows devices with different  
speed capabilities to coexist on the bus. A clock-low extension is used during a transfer in order to allow  
slower slave devices to communicate with faster masters. The slave may temporarily hold the SCL line  
LOW to extend the clock low period, effectively decreasing the serial clock frequency.  
22.3.4. SCL Low Timeout  
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore,  
the master cannot force the SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus  
protocol specifies that devices participating in a transfer must detect any clock cycle held low longer than  
25 ms as a “timeout” condition. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the  
communication no later than 10 ms after detecting the timeout condition.  
When the SMBTOE bit in SMB0CF is set, Timer 3 is used to detect SCL low timeouts. Timer 3 is forced to  
reload when SCL is high, and allowed to count when SCL is low. With Timer 3 enabled and configured to  
overflow after 25 ms (and SMBTOE set), the Timer 3 interrupt service routine can be used to reset (disable  
and re-enable) the SMBus in the event of an SCL low timeout.  
22.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout  
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 µs, the bus  
is designated as free. When the SMBFTE bit in SMB0CF is set, the bus will be considered free if SCL and  
SDA remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (as defined by the timer configured for the  
SMBus clock source). If the SMBus is waiting to generate a Master START, the START will be generated  
following this timeout. A clock source is required for free timeout detection, even in a slave-only  
implementation.  
Rev. 1.3

22.4. Using the SMBus  
The SMBus can operate in both Master and Slave modes. The interface provides timing and shifting con-  
trol for serial transfers; higher level protocol is determined by user software. The SMBus interface provides  
the following application-independent features:  
Byte-wise serial data transfers  
Clock signal generation on SCL (Master Mode only) and SDA data synchronization  
Timeout/bus error recognition, as defined by the SMB0CF configuration register  
START/STOP timing, detection, and generation  
Bus arbitration  
Interrupt generation  
Status information  
Optional hardware recognition of slave address and automatic acknowledgement of address/data  
SMBus interrupts are generated for each data byte or slave address that is transferred. When hardware  
acknowledgement is disabled, the point at which the interrupt is generated depends on whether the  
hardware is acting as a data transmitter or receiver. When a transmitter (i.e., sending address/data,  
receiving an ACK), this interrupt is generated after the ACK cycle so that software may read the received  
ACK value; when receiving data (i.e., receiving address/data, sending an ACK), this interrupt is generated  
before the ACK cycle so that software may define the outgoing ACK value. If hardware acknowledgement  
is enabled, these interrupts are always generated after the ACK cycle. See Section 22.5 for more details  
on transmission sequences.  
Interrupts are also generated to indicate the beginning of a transfer when a master (START generated), or  
the end of a transfer when a slave (STOP detected). Software should read the SMB0CN (SMBus Control  
register) to find the cause of the SMBus interrupt. The SMB0CN register is described in Section 22.4.2;  
Table 22.5 provides a quick SMB0CN decoding reference.

22.4.1. SMBus Configuration Register  
The SMBus Configuration register (SMB0CF) is used to enable the SMBus Master and/or Slave modes,  
select the SMBus clock source, and select the SMBus timing and timeout options. When the ENSMB bit is  
set, the SMBus is enabled for all master and slave events. Slave events may be disabled by setting the  
INH bit. With slave events inhibited, the SMBus interface will still monitor the SCL and SDA pins; however,  
the interface will NACK all received addresses and will not generate any slave interrupts. When the INH bit  
is set, all slave events will be inhibited following the next START (interrupts will continue for the duration of  
the current transfer).

The SMBCS1–0 bits select the SMBus clock source, which is used only when operating as a master or  
when the Free Timeout detection is enabled. When operating as a master, overflows from the selected  
source determine the absolute minimum SCL low and high times as defined in Equation 22.1. The  
selected clock source may be shared by other peripherals so long as the timer is left running at all times.  
For example, Timer 1 overflows may generate the SMBus and UART baud rates simultaneously. Timer  
configuration is covered in Section “25. Timers” on page 283.

Equation 22.1. Minimum SCL High and Low Times  
The selected clock source should be configured to establish the minimum SCL High and Low times as per  
Equation 22.1. When the interface is operating as a master (and SCL is not driven or extended by any  
other devices on the bus), the typical SMBus bit rate is approximated by Equation 22.2.

operating as a master will never exceed the limits defined by equation Equation 22.1.

Setting the EXTHOLD bit extends the minimum setup and hold times for the SDA line. The minimum SDA  
setup time defines the absolute minimum time that SDA is stable before SCL transitions from low-to-high.  
The minimum SDA hold time defines the absolute minimum time that the current SDA value remains stable  
after SCL transitions from high-to-low. EXTHOLD should be set so that the minimum setup and hold times  
meet the SMBus Specification requirements of 250 ns and 300 ns, respectively. Table 22.2 shows the  
minimum setup and hold times for the two EXTHOLD settings. Setup and hold time extensions are  
typically necessary when SYSCLK is above 10 MHz.

With the SMBTOE bit set, Timer 3 should be configured to overflow after 25 ms in order to detect SCL low  
timeouts (see Section “22.3.4. SCL Low Timeout” on page 241). The SMBus interface will force Timer 3 to  
reload while SCL is high, and allow Timer 3 to count when SCL is low. The Timer 3 interrupt service routine  
should be used to reset SMBus communication by disabling and re-enabling the SMBus.  
SMBus Free Timeout detection can be enabled by setting the SMBFTE bit. When this bit is set, the bus will  
be considered free if SDA and SCL remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (see  
Figure 22.4).

This bit enables the SMBus interface when set to 1. When enabled, the interface  
constantly monitors the SDA and SCL pins.

INH  
SMBus Slave Inhibit.  
When this bit is set to logic 1, the SMBus does not generate an interrupt when slave

This bit controls the SDA setup and hold times according to Table 22.2.  
0: SDA Extended Setup and Hold Times disabled.  
1: SDA Extended Setup and Hold Times enabled.

SMBTOE SMBus SCL Timeout Detection Enable.  
This bit enables SCL low timeout detection. If set to logic 1, the SMBus forces  
Timer 3 to reload while SCL is high and allows Timer 3 to count when SCL goes low.  
If Timer 3 is configured to Split Mode, only the High Byte of the timer is held in reload  
while SCL is high. Timer 3 should be programmed to generate interrupts at 25 ms,  
and the Timer 3 interrupt service routine should reset SMBus communication.

SMBFTE SMBus Free Timeout Detection Enable.  
When this bit is set to logic 1, the bus will be considered free if SCL and SDA remain  
high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods.

22.4.2. SMB0CN Control Register  
SMB0CN is used to control the interface and to provide status information (see SFR Definition 22.2). The  
higher four bits of SMB0CN (MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO) form a status vector that can be used to  
jump to service routines. MASTER indicates whether a device is the master or slave during the current  
transfer. TXMODE indicates whether the device is transmitting or receiving data for the current byte.  
STA and STO indicate that a START and/or STOP has been detected or generated since the last SMBus  
interrupt. STA and STO are also used to generate START and STOP conditions when operating as a  
master. Writing a 1 to STA will cause the SMBus interface to enter Master Mode and generate a START  
when the bus becomes free (STA is not cleared by hardware after the START is generated). Writing a 1 to  
STO while in Master Mode will cause the interface to generate a STOP and end the current transfer after  
the next ACK cycle. If STO and STA are both set (while in Master Mode), a STOP followed by a START will  
be generated.  
The ARBLOST bit indicates that the interface has lost an arbitration. This may occur anytime the interface  
is transmitting (master or slave). A lost arbitration while operating as a slave indicates a bus error  
condition. ARBLOST is cleared by hardware each time SI is cleared.  
The SI bit (SMBus Interrupt Flag) is set at the beginning and end of each transfer, after each byte frame, or  
when an arbitration is lost; see Table 22.3 for more details.  
Important Note About the SI Bit: The SMBus interface is stalled while SI is set; thus SCL is held low, and  
the bus is stalled until software clears SI.  
22.4.2.1.Software ACK Generation  
When the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM is cleared to 0, the firmware on the device must detect incom-  
ing slave addresses and ACK or NACK the slave address and incoming data bytes. As a receiver, writing  
the ACK bit defines the outgoing ACK value; as a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates the value  
received during the last ACK cycle. ACKRQ is set each time a byte is received, indicating that an outgoing  
ACK value is needed. When ACKRQ is set, software should write the desired outgoing value to the ACK  
bit before clearing SI. A NACK will be generated if software does not write the ACK bit before clearing SI.  
SDA will reflect the defined ACK value immediately following a write to the ACK bit; however SCL will  
remain low until SI is cleared. If a received slave address is not acknowledged, further slave events will be  
ignored until the next START is detected.  
22.4.2.2.Hardware ACK Generation  
When the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM is set to 1, automatic slave address recognition and ACK gen-  
eration is enabled. More detail about automatic slave address recognition can be found in Section 22.4.3.  
As a receiver, the value currently specified by the ACK bit will be automatically sent on the bus during the  
ACK cycle of an incoming data byte. As a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates the value received on  
the last ACK cycle. The ACKRQ bit is not used when hardware ACK generation is enabled. If a received  
slave address is NACKed by hardware, further slave events will be ignored until the next START is  
detected, and no interrupt will be generated.  
Table 22.3 lists all sources for hardware changes to the SMB0CN bits. Refer to Table 22.5 for SMBus  
status decoding using the SMB0CN register.  
Refer to the C8051F930 errata when using hardware ACK generation on C8051F930/31/20/21 devices.

22.4.3. Hardware Slave Address Recognition  
The SMBus hardware has the capability to automatically recognize incoming slave addresses and send an  
ACK without software intervention. Automatic slave address recognition is enabled by setting the EHACK  
bit in register SMB0ADM to 1. This will enable both automatic slave address recognition and automatic  
hardware ACK generation for received bytes (as a master or slave). More detail on automatic hardware  
ACK generation can be found in Section 22.4.2.2.  
The registers used to define which address(es) are recognized by the hardware are the SMBus Slave  
Address register (SFR Definition 22.3) and the SMBus Slave Address Mask register (SFR Definition 22.4).  
A single address or range of addresses (including the General Call Address 0x00) can be specified using  
these two registers. The most-significant seven bits of the two registers are used to define which  
addresses will be ACKed. A 1 in bit positions of the slave address mask SLVM[6:0] enable a comparison  
between the received slave address and the hardware’s slave address SLV[6:0] for those bits. A 0 in a bit  
of the slave address mask means that bit will be treated as a “don’t care” for comparison purposes. In this  
case, either a 1 or a 0 value are acceptable on the incoming slave address. Additionally, if the GC bit in  
register SMB0ADR is set to 1, hardware will recognize the General Call Address (0x00). Table 22.4 shows  
some example parameter settings and the slave addresses that will be recognized by hardware under  
those conditions. Refer to the C8051F930 errata when using hardware ACK generation on  
C8051F930/31/20/21 devices.

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

Function  
The SMB0DAT register contains a byte of data to be transmitted on the SMBus  
serial interface or a byte that has just been received on the SMBus serial interface.  
The CPU can read from or write to this register whenever the SI serial interrupt flag  
(SMB0CN.0) is set to logic 1. The serial data in the register remains stable as long  
as the SI flag is set. When the SI flag is not set, the system may be in the process  
of shifting data in/out and the CPU should not attempt to access this register.

22.5. SMBus Transfer Modes  
The SMBus interface may be configured to operate as master and/or slave. At any particular time, it will be  
operating in one of the following four modes: Master Transmitter, Master Receiver, Slave Transmitter, or  
Slave Receiver. The SMBus interface enters Master Mode any time a START is generated, and remains in  
Master Mode until it loses an arbitration or generates a STOP. An SMBus interrupt is generated at the end  
of all SMBus byte frames. Note that the position of the ACK interrupt when operating as a receiver  
depends on whether hardware ACK generation is enabled. As a receiver, the interrupt for an ACK occurs  
before the ACK with hardware ACK generation disabled, and after the ACK when hardware ACK  
generation is enabled. As a transmitter, interrupts occur after the ACK, regardless of whether hardware  
ACK generation is enabled or not.  
22.5.1. Write Sequence (Master)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The master in this transfer will be  
a transmitter during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. The SMBus interface  
generates the START condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and  
the data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 (WRITE). The master then  
transmits one or more bytes of serial data. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is generated  
by the slave. The transfer is ended when the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. Note that the  
interface will switch to Master Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not written following a Master Transmitter  
interrupt. Figure 22.5 shows a typical master write sequence. Two transmit data bytes are shown, though  
any number of bytes may be transmitted. All “data byte transferred” interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in  
this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is enabled.

22.5.2. Read Sequence (Master)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The master in this transfer will  
be a transmitter during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. The SMBus interface  
generates the START condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and  
the data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 (READ). Serial data is then  
received from the slave on SDA while the SMBus outputs the serial clock. The slave transmits one or more  
bytes of serial data.  
If hardware ACK generation is disabled, the ACKRQ is set to 1 and an interrupt is generated after each  
received byte. Software must write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.  
With hardware ACK generation enabled, the SMBus hardware will automatically generate the ACK/NACK,  
and then post the interrupt. It is important to note that the appropriate ACK or NACK value should be  
set up by the software prior to receiving the byte when hardware ACK generation is enabled.  
Writing a 1 to the ACK bit generates an ACK; writing a 0 generates a NACK. Software should write a 0 to  
the ACK bit for the last data transfer, to transmit a NACK. The interface exits Master Receiver Mode after  
the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. The interface will switch to Master Transmitter Mode if  
SMB0DAT is written while an active Master Receiver. Figure 22.6 shows a typical master read sequence.  
Two received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. The “data byte  
transferred” interrupts occur at different places in the sequence, depending on whether hardware ACK  
generation is enabled. The interrupt occurs before the ACK with hardware ACK generation disabled, and  
after the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled.

22.5.3. Write Sequence (Slave)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be  
a receiver during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled  
(INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode when a START followed by a slave address and  
direction bit (WRITE in this case) is received. If hardware ACK generation is disabled, upon entering Slave  
Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software must respond to the  
received slave address with an ACK, or ignore the received slave address with a NACK. If hardware ACK  
generation is enabled, the hardware will apply the ACK for a slave address which matches the criteria set  
up by SMB0ADR and SMB0ADM. The interrupt will occur after the ACK cycle.  
If the received slave address is ignored (by software or hardware), slave interrupts will be inhibited until the  
next START is detected. If the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are  
received.  
If hardware ACK generation is disabled, the ACKRQ is set to 1 and an interrupt is generated after each  
received byte. Software must write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.  
With hardware ACK generation enabled, the SMBus hardware will automatically generate the ACK/NACK,  
and then post the interrupt. The appropriate ACK or NACK value should be set up by the software  
prior to receiving the byte when hardware ACK generation is enabled.  
The interface exits Slave Receiver Mode after receiving a STOP. Note that the interface will switch to Slave  
Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an active Slave Receiver. Figure 22.7 shows a typical slave  
write sequence. Two received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice  
that the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur at different places in the sequence, depending on whether  
hardware ACK generation is enabled. The interrupt occurs before the ACK with hardware ACK generation  
disabled, and after the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled.

22.5.4. Read Sequence (Slave)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The slave in this transfer will  
be a receiver during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. When slave events are  
enabled (INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode (to receive the slave address) when a START  
followed by a slave address and direction bit (READ in this case) is received. If hardware ACK generation  
is disabled, upon entering Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The  
software must respond to the received slave address with an ACK, or ignore the received slave address  
with a NACK. If hardware ACK generation is enabled, the hardware will apply the ACK for a slave address  
which matches the criteria set up by SMB0ADR and SMB0ADM. The interrupt will occur after the ACK  
cycle.  
If the received slave address is ignored (by software or hardware), slave interrupts will be inhibited until the  
next START is detected. If the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are  
transmitted. If the received slave address is acknowledged, data should be written to SMB0DAT to be  
transmitted. The interface enters Slave Transmitter Mode, and transmits one or more bytes of data. After  
each byte is transmitted, the master sends an acknowledge bit; if the acknowledge bit is an ACK,  
SMB0DAT should be written with the next data byte. If the acknowledge bit is a NACK, SMB0DAT should  
not be written to before SI is cleared (an error condition may be generated if SMB0DAT is written following  
a received NACK while in Slave Transmitter Mode). The interface exits Slave Transmitter Mode after  
receiving a STOP. Note that the interface will switch to Slave Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not written  
following a Slave Transmitter interrupt. Figure 22.8 shows a typical slave read sequence. Two transmitted  
data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. All of the “data byte transferred”  
interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is  
enabled.

22.6. SMBus Status Decoding  
The current SMBus status can be easily decoded using the SMB0CN register. The appropriate actions to  
take in response to an SMBus event depend on whether hardware slave address recognition and ACK  
generation is enabled or disabled. Table 22.5 describes the typical actions when hardware slave address  
recognition and ACK generation is disabled. Table 22.6 describes the typical actions when hardware slave  
address recognition and ACK generation is enabled. In the tables, STATUS VECTOR refers to the four  
upper bits of SMB0CN: MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO. The shown response options are only the  
typical responses; application-specific procedures are allowed as long as they conform to the SMBus  
specification. Highlighted responses are allowed by hardware but do not conform to the SMBus  
specification.

23. 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 “23.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation” on page 261). Received data buffering allows UART0  
to start reception of a second incoming data byte before software has finished reading the previous data  
byte.  
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).

23.1. 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 23.2), 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 “25.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit Coun-  
ter/Timer with Auto-Reload” on page 287). The Timer 1 reload value should be set so that overflows 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 exter-  
nal input T1. For any given Timer 1 clock source, the UART0 baud rate is determined by Equation 23.1-A  
and Equation 23.1-B.

page 285. A quick reference for typical baud rates and system clock frequencies is given in Table 23.1

oscillator is driving Timer 1.

23.2. Operational Modes  
UART0 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication. The UART mode (8-bit or 9-bit) is  
selected by the S0MODE bit (SCON0.7). Typical UART connection options are shown below.

23.2.1. 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.

23.2.2. 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.

23.3. 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).

This SFR accesses two registers; a transmit shift register and a receive latch register.  
When data is written to SBUF0, it goes to the transmit shift register and is held for  
serial transmission. Writing a byte to SBUF0 initiates the transmission. A read of  
SBUF0 returns the contents of the receive latch.

24. Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0 and SPI1)  
The Enhanced Serial Peripheral Interfaces (SPI0 and SPI1) provide access to two identical, flexible, full-  
duplex synchronous serial busses. Both SPI0 and SPI1 will be referred to collectively as SPIn. SPIn can  
operate as a master or slave device in both 3-wire or 4-wire modes, and supports multiple masters and  
slaves on a single SPI bus. The slave-select (NSS) signal can be configured as an input to select SPIn in  
slave mode, or to disable Master Mode operation in a multi-master environment, avoiding contention on  
the SPI bus when more than one master attempts simultaneous data transfers. NSS can also be  
configured as a chip-select output in master mode, or disabled for 3-wire operation. Additional general  
purpose port I/O pins can be used to select multiple slave devices in master mode.

24.1. Signal Descriptions  
The four signals used by each SPIn (MOSI, MISO, SCK, NSS) are described below.  
24.1.1. 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 SPIn is operat-  
ing as a master anSPInd an input when SPIn 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.  
24.1.2. 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 SPIn is operat-  
ing as a master and an output when SPIn 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.  
24.1.3. 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. SPIn 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.  
24.1.4. Slave Select (NSS)  
The function of the slave-select (NSS) signal is dependent on the setting of the NSSnMD1 and NSSnMD0  
bits in the SPInCN 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: SPIn operates in 3-wire mode, and  
NSS is disabled. When operating as a slave device, SPIn is always selected in 3-wire mode.  
Since no select signal is present, SPIn 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: SPIn operates in 4-wire mode, and  
NSS is enabled as an input. When operating as a slave, NSS selects the SPIn device. When  
operating as a master, a 1-to-0 transition of the NSS signal disables the master function of  
SPIn so that multiple master devices can be used on the same SPI bus.  
3. NSSMD[1:0] = 1x: 4-Wire Master Mode: SPIn 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 SPIn as a master device.  
See Figure 24.2, Figure 24.3, and Figure 24.4 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 “21. Port Input/Output” on page 216 for general purpose  
port I/O and crossbar information.

24.2. SPI Master Mode Operation  
A SPI master device initiates all data transfers on a SPI bus. SPIn is placed in master mode by setting the  
Master Enable flag (MSTENn, SPInCN.6). Writing a byte of data to the SPIn data register (SPInDAT) 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 SPIn master immediately shifts out the data  
serially on the MOSI line while providing the serial clock on SCK. The SPIFn (SPInCN.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 SPIn master transfers data to a slave on the MOSI line, the addressed SPI slave device  
simultaneously transfers the contents of its shift register to the SPI master on the MISO line in a full-duplex  
operation. Therefore, the SPIF flag serves as both a transmit-complete and receive-data-ready flag. The  
data byte received from the slave is transferred MSB-first into the master's shift register. When a byte is  
fully shifted into the register, it is moved to the receive buffer where it can be read by the processor by  
reading SPInDAT.  
When configured as a master, SPIn 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  
NSSnMD1 (SPInCN.3) = 0 and NSSnMD0 (SPInCN.2) = 1. In this mode, NSS is an input to the device,  
and is used to disable the master SPIn when another master is accessing the bus. When NSS is pulled low  
in this mode, MSTENn (SPInCN.6) and SPIENn (SPInCN.0) are set to 0 to disable the SPI master device,  
and a Mode Fault is generated (MODFn, SPInCN.5 = 1). Mode Fault will generate an interrupt if enabled.  
SPIn 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-master mode, slave devices can be addressed individually (if needed) using general-purpose I/O  
pins. Figure 24.2 shows a connection diagram between two master devices in multiple-master mode.  
3-wire single-master mode is active when NSSnMD1 (SPInCN.3) = 0 and NSSnMD0 (SPInCN.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 24.3 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 NSSnMD1 (SPInCN.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 NSSnMD0 (SPInCN.2). Additional slave devices can be  
addressed using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 24.4 shows a connection diagram for a master device in  
4-wire master mode and two slave devices.

24.3. SPI Slave Mode Operation  
When SPIn 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 SPIn logic counts SCK edges. When 8 bits have been shifted through the shift reg-  
ister, the SPIF flag is set to logic 1, and the byte is copied into the receive buffer. Data is read from the  
receive buffer by reading SPInDAT. A slave device cannot initiate transfers. Data to be transferred to the  
master device is pre-loaded into the shift register by writing to SPInDAT. Writes to SPInDAT are double-  
buffered, and are placed in the transmit buffer first. If the shift register is empty, the contents of the transmit  
buffer will immediately be transferred into the shift register. When the shift register already contains data,  
the SPI will load the shift register with the transmit buffer’s contents after the last SCK edge of the next (or  
current) SPI transfer.  
When configured as a slave, SPIn can be configured for 4-wire or 3-wire operation. The default, 4-wire  
slave mode, is active when NSSnMD1 (SPInCN.3) = 0 and NSSnMD0 (SPInCN.2) = 1. In 4-wire mode, the  
NSS signal is routed to a port pin and configured as a digital input. SPIn 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 24.4 shows a connection diagram between two slave devices in 4-wire slave mode and a master  
device.  
3-wire slave mode is active when NSSnMD1 (SPInCN.3) = 0 and NSSnMD0 (SPInCN.2) = 0. NSS is not  
used in this mode, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Since there is no way of  
uniquely addressing the device in 3-wire slave mode, SPIn 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 SPIn with the SPIEN bit. Figure 24.3 shows a connection diagram between a slave device in 3-  
wire slave mode and a master device.  
24.4. SPI Interrupt Sources  
When SPIn interrupts are enabled, the following four flags will generate an interrupt when they are set to  
logic 1:  
All of the following bits must be cleared by software.  
1. The SPI Interrupt Flag, SPIFn (SPInCN.7) is set to logic 1 at the end of each byte transfer.  
This flag can occur in all SPIn modes.  
2. The Write Collision Flag, WCOLn (SPInCN.6) is set to logic 1 if a write to SPInDAT is  
attempted when the transmit buffer has not been emptied to the SPI shift register. When this  
occurs, the write to SPInDAT will be ignored, and the transmit buffer will not be written.This  
flag can occur in all SPIn modes.  
3. The Mode Fault Flag MODFn (SPInCN.5) is set to logic 1 when SPIn is configured as a  
master, and for multi-master mode and the NSS pin is pulled low. When a Mode Fault occurs,  
the MSTENn and SPIENn bits in SPI0CN are set to logic 0 to disable SPIn and allow another  
master device to access the bus.  
4. The Receive Overrun Flag RXOVRNn (SPInCN.4) is set to logic 1 when configured as a slave,  
and a transfer is completed and the receive buffer still holds an unread byte from a previous  
transfer. The new byte is not transferred to the receive buffer, allowing the previously received  
data byte to be read. The data byte which caused the overrun is lost.

C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
24.5. Serial Clock Phase and Polarity  
Four combinations of serial clock phase and polarity can be selected using the clock control bits in the SPI  
Configuration Register (SPInCFG). The CKPHA bit (SPInCFG.5) selects one of two clock phases (edge  
used to latch the data). The CKPOL bit (SPInCFG.4) selects between an active-high or active-low clock.  
Both master and slave devices must be configured to use the same clock phase and polarity. SPI0 should  
be disabled (by clearing the SPIENn bit, SPInCN.0) when changing the clock phase or polarity. The clock  
and data line relationships for master mode are shown in Figure 24.5. For slave mode, the clock and data  
relationships are shown in Figure 24.6 and Figure 24.7. Note that CKPHA must be set to 0 on both the  
master and slave SPI when communicating between two of the following devices: C8051F04x,  
C8051F06x, C8051F12x, C8051F31x, C8051F32x, and C8051F33x.  
The SPIn Clock Rate Register (SPInCKR) as shown in SFR Definition 24.3 controls the master mode  
serial clock frequency. This register is ignored when operating in slave mode. When the SPI is configured  
as a master, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) is one-half the system clock frequency or 12.5 MHz,  
whichever is slower. When the SPI is configured as a slave, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) for  
full-duplex operation is 1/10 the system clock frequency, provided that the master issues SCK, NSS (in 4-  
wire slave mode), and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s system clock. If the master  
issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data asynchronously, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec)  
must be less than 1/10 the system clock frequency. In the special case where the master only wants to  
transmit data to the slave and does not need to receive data from the slave (i.e. half-duplex operation), the  
SPI slave can receive data at a maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) of 1/4 the system clock frequency.  
This is provided that the master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s  
system clock.

*Note: In slave mode, data on MOSI is sampled in the center of each data bit. In master mode, data on MISO is  
sampled one SYSCLK before the end of each data bit, to provide maximum settling time for the slave device.

SPInDAT  
SPIn Transmit and Receive Data.  
The SPInDAT register is used to transmit and receive SPIn data. Writing data to  
SPInDAT places the data into the transmit buffer and initiates a transfer when in  
Master Mode. A read of SPInDAT returns the contents of the receive buffer.

25. Timers  
Each MCU includes four counter/timers: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found in the  
standard 8051, and two are 16-bit auto-reload timer for use with the ADC, SMBus, or for general purpose  
use. These timers can be used to measure time intervals, count external events and generate periodic  
interrupt requests. Timer 0 and Timer 1 are nearly identical and have four primary modes of operation.  
Timer 2 and Timer 3 offer 16-bit and split 8-bit timer functionality with auto-reload. Additionally, Timer 2 and  
Timer 3 have a Capture Mode that can be used to measure the SmaRTClock or a Comparator period with  
respect to another oscillator. This is particularly useful when using Capacitive Touch Switches.  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 Modes:  
13-bit counter/timer  
16-bit counter/timer  
8-bit counter/timer with auto-  
reload  
Timer 2 Modes:  
Timer 3 Modes:  
16-bit timer with auto-reload  
16-bit timer with auto-reload  
Two 8-bit timers with auto-reload Two 8-bit timers with auto-reload  
Two 8-bit counter/timers (Timer 0  
only)  
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 (SCA1–SCA0). The Clock Scale bits define a pre-scaled clock from which  
Timer 0 and/or Timer 1 may be clocked (See SFR Definition 25.1 for pre-scaled clock selection).  
Timer 0/1 may then be configured to use this pre-scaled clock signal or the system clock. Timer 2 and  
Timer 3 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12. Timer 2 may additionally be  
clocked by the SmaRTClock divided by 8 or the Comparator0 output. Timer 3 may additionally be clocked  
by the external oscillator clock source divided by 8 or the Comparator1 output.  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 may also be operated as counters. When functioning as a counter, a counter/timer  
register is incremented on each high-to-low transition at the selected input pin (T0 or T1). Events with a fre-  
quency of up to one-fourth the system clock frequency can be counted. The input signal need not be peri-  
odic, but it should be held at a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure the level is  
properly sampled.

25.1. 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 “12.5. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 139); Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled  
by setting the ET1 bit in the IE register (Section “12.5. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 139). 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.  
25.1.1. Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as 13-bit counter/timers in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration  
and operation of Timer 0. However, both timers operate identically, and Timer 1 is configured in the same  
manner as described for Timer 0.  
The TH0 register holds the eight MSBs of the 13-bit counter/timer. TL0 holds the five LSBs in bit positions  
TL0.4TL0.0. The three upper bits of TL0 (TL0.7TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or  
ignored when reading. As the 13-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to  
0x0000, the timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and an interrupt will occur if Timer 0 interrupts are  
enabled.  
The C/T0 bit (TMOD.2) selects the counter/timer's clock source. When C/T0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low  
transitions at the selected Timer 0 input pin (T0) increment the timer register (Refer to Section  
“21.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 221 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 25.1).  
Setting the TR0 bit (TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is logic 0 or the input signal  
INT0 is active as defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF (see SFR Definition 12.7). Setting GATE0 to 1  
allows the timer to be controlled by the external input signal INT0 (see Section “12.5. Interrupt Register  
Descriptions” on page 139), 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 12.7).

25.1.2. 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.

Rev. 1.3  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x  
25.1.3. 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 “12.6. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1”  
on page 146 for details on the external input signals INT0 and INT1).

25.1.4. 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/or UART, and/or initiate ADC  
conversions. While Timer 0 is operating 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.

25.2. 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 SmaRTClock or  
the Comparator 0 period with respect to another oscillator. The ability to measure the Comparator 0 period  
with respect to the system clock is makes using Touch Sense Switches very easy.  
Timer 2 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, SmaRTClock divided by 8, or  
Comparator 0 output. Note that the SmaRTClock divided by 8 and Comparator 0 output is synchronized  
with the system clock.  
25.2.1. 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, SmaRTClock divided by 8, or Comparator 0 output. 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 25.4,  
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.

25.2.2. 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 25.5. 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, SmaRTClock divided by 8 or  
Comparator 0 output. 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 bits (T2XCLK[1:0] 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  
generated 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.

25.2.3. Comparator 0/SmaRTClock Capture Mode  
The Capture Mode in Timer 2 allows either Comparator 0 or the SmaRTClock period to be measured  
against the system clock or the system clock divided by 12. Comparator 0 and the SmaRTClock period can  
also be compared against each other. Timer 2 Capture Mode is enabled by setting TF2CEN to 1. Timer 2  
should be in 16-bit auto-reload mode when using Capture Mode.  
When Capture Mode is enabled, a capture event will be generated either every Comparator 0 rising edge  
or every 8 SmaRTClock clock cycles, depending on the T2XCLK1 setting. When the capture event occurs,  
the contents of Timer  
2
(TMR2H:TMR2L) are loaded into the Timer 2 reload registers  
(TMR2RLH:TMR2RLL) and the TF2H flag is set (triggering an interrupt if Timer 2 interrupts are enabled).  
By recording the difference between two successive timer capture values, the Comparator 0 or SmaRT-  
Clock period 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.  
For example, if T2ML = 1b, T2XCLK1 = 0b, and TF2CEN = 1b, Timer 2 will clock every SYSCLK and cap-  
ture every SmaRTClock clock divided by 8. If the SYSCLK is 24.5 MHz and the difference between two  
successive captures is 5984, then the SmaRTClock clock is:  
24.5 MHz/(5984/8) = 0.032754 MHz or 32.754 kHz.  
This mode allows software to determine the exact SmaRTClock frequency in self-oscillate mode and the  
time between consecutive Comparator 0 rising edges, which is useful for detecting changes in the  
capacitance of a Touch Sense Switch.

bytes. Timer 2 Clock Select bits (T2MH and T2ML in register CKCON) may still be  
used to select between the “external” clock and the system clock for either timer.  
Note: External clock sources are synchronized with the system clock.  
00: External Clock is SYSCLK/12. Capture trigger is SmaRTClock/8.  
01: External Clock is Comparator 0. Capture trigger is SmaRTClock/8.  
10: External Clock is SYSCLK/12. Capture trigger is Comparator 0.

25.3. Timer 3  
Timer 3 is a 16-bit timer formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMR3L (low byte) and TMR3H (high byte). Timer 3 may  
operate in 16-bit auto-reload mode or (split) 8-bit auto-reload mode. The T3SPLIT bit (TMR2CN.3) defines  
the Timer 3 operation mode. Timer 3 can also be used in Capture Mode to measure the external oscillator  
source or the Comparator 1 period with respect to another oscillator. The ability to measure the  
Comparator 1 period with respect to the system clock is makes using Touch Sense Switches very easy.  
Timer 3 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, external oscillator source  
divided by 8, or Comparator 1 output. The external oscillator source divided by 8 and Comparator 1 output  
is synchronized with the system clock.  
25.3.1. 16-bit Timer with Auto-Reload  
When T3SPLIT (TMR3CN.3) is zero, Timer 3 operates as a 16-bit timer with auto-reload. Timer 3 can be  
clocked by SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, external oscillator clock source divided by 8, or Comparator 1  
output. As the 16-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the 16-bit value in  
the Timer 3 reload registers (TMR3RLH and TMR3RLL) is loaded into the Timer 3 register as shown in  
Figure 25.7, and the Timer 3 High Byte Overflow Flag (TMR3CN.7) is set. If Timer 3 interrupts are enabled  
(if EIE1.7 is set), an interrupt will be generated on each Timer 3 overflow. Additionally, if Timer 3 interrupts  
are enabled and the TF3LEN bit is set (TMR3CN.5), an interrupt will be generated each time the lower 8  
bits (TMR3L) overflow from 0xFF to 0x00.

When T3SPLIT is set, Timer 3 operates as two 8-bit timers (TMR3H and TMR3L). Both 8-bit timers oper-

holds the reload value for TMR3H. The TR3 bit in TMR3CN handles the run control for TMR3H. TMR3L is  
always running when configured for 8-bit Mode.  
Each 8-bit timer may be configured to use SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, the external oscillator clock  
source divided by 8, or Comparator 1. The Timer 3 Clock Select bits (T3MH and T3ML in CKCON) select

25.3.3. Comparator 1/External Oscillator Capture Mode  
The Capture Mode in Timer 3 allows either Comparator 1 or the external oscillator period to be measured  
against the system clock or the system clock divided by 12. Comparator 1 and the external oscillator  
period can also be compared against each other.  
Setting TF3CEN to 1 enables the Comparator 1/External Oscillator Capture Mode for Timer 3. In this  
mode, T3SPLIT should be set to 0, as the full 16-bit timer is used.  
When Capture Mode is enabled, a capture event will be generated either every Comparator 1 rising edge  
or every 8 external clock cycles, depending on the T3XCLK1 setting. When the capture event occurs, the  
contents of Timer 3 (TMR3H:TMR3L) are loaded into the Timer 3 reload registers (TMR3RLH:TMR3RLL)  
and the TF3H flag is set (triggering an interrupt if Timer 3 interrupts are enabled). By recording the differ-  
ence between two successive timer capture values, the Comparator 1 or external clock period can be  
determined with respect to the Timer 3 clock. The Timer 3 clock should be much faster than the capture  
clock to achieve an accurate reading.  
For example, if T3ML = 1b, T3XCLK1 = 0b, and TF3CEN = 1b, Timer 3 will clock every SYSCLK and cap-  
ture every Comparator 1 rising edge. If SYSCLK is 24.5 MHz and the difference between two successive  
captures is 350 counts, then the Comparator 1 period is:  
350 x (1 / 24.5 MHz) = 14.2 µs.  
This mode allows software to determine the exact frequency of the external oscillator in C and RC mode or  
the time between consecutive Comparator 0 rising edges, which is useful for detecting changes in the  
capacitance of a Touch Sense Switch.

26. Programmable Counter Array  
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides enhanced timer functionality while requiring less CPU  
intervention than the standard 8051 counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer  
and six 16-bit capture/compare modules. Each capture/compare module has its own associated I/O line  
(CEXn) which is routed through the Crossbar to Port I/O when enabled. The counter/timer is driven by a  
programmable timebase that can select between seven sources: system clock, system clock divided by  
four, system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock source divided by 8, Timer 0 overflows, or  
an external clock signal on the ECI input pin. Each capture/compare module may be configured to operate  
independently in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software Timer, High-Speed Output,  
Frequency Output, 8 to 11-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each mode is described in Section  
“26.3. Capture/Compare Modules” on page 308). The external oscillator clock option is ideal for real-time  
clock (RTC) functionality, allowing the PCA to be clocked by a precision external oscillator while the  
internal oscillator drives the system clock. The PCA is configured and controlled through the system  
controller's Special Function Registers. The PCA block diagram is shown in Figure 26.1  
Important Note: The PCA Module 5 may be used as a watchdog timer (WDT), and is enabled in this mode  
following a system reset. Access to certain PCA registers is restricted while WDT mode is enabled.  
See Section 26.4 for details.

26.1. 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 CPS2CPS0 bits in the PCA0MD  
register select the timebase for the counter/timer as shown in Table 26.1.  
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  
software. Clearing the CIDL bit in the PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue normal operation while  
the CPU is in Idle mode.

26.2. PCA0 Interrupt Sources  
Figure 26.3 shows a diagram of the PCA interrupt tree. There are eight independent event flags that can  
be used to generate a PCA0 interrupt. They are: the main PCA counter overflow flag (CF), which is set  
upon a 16-bit overflow of the PCA0 counter, an intermediate overflow flag (COVF), which can be set on an  
overflow from the 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th bit of the PCA0 counter, and the individual flags for each PCA  
channel (CCF0, CCF1, CCF2, CCF3, CCF4, and CCF5), which are set according to the operation mode of  
that module. These event flags are always set when the trigger condition occurs. Each of these flags can  
be individually selected to generate a PCA0 interrupt, using the corresponding interrupt enable flag (ECF  
for CF, ECOV for COVF, and ECCFn for each CCFn). PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before any  
individual interrupt sources are recognized by the processor. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by  
setting the EA bit and the EPCA0 bit to logic 1.

26.3. Capture/Compare Modules  
Each module can be configured to operate independently in one of six operation modes: edge-triggered  
capture, software timer, high speed output, frequency output, 8 to 11-bit pulse width modulator, or 16-bit  
pulse width modulator. Each module has Special Function Registers (SFRs) associated with it in the CIP-  
51 system controller. These registers are used to exchange data with a module and configure the module's  
mode of operation. Table 26.2 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn and PCA0PWM registers  
used to select the PCA capture/compare module’s operating mode. Note that all modules set to use 8, 9,  
10, or 11-bit PWM mode must use the same cycle length (8-11 bits). Setting the ECCFn bit in a  
PCA0CPMn register enables the module's CCFn interrupt.

26.3.1. Edge-triggered Capture Mode  
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes the PCA to capture the value of the PCA  
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  
transition that triggers the capture: low-to-high transition (positive edge), high-to-low transition (negative  
edge), or either transition (positive or negative edge). When a capture occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag  
(CCFn) in PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module  
is enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt  
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.

26.3.2. Software Timer (Compare) Mode  
In Software Timer mode, the PCA counter/timer value is compared to the module's 16-bit capture/compare  
register (PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn). When a match occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in  
PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is  
enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt  
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  
Capture/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.

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

26.3.4. Frequency Output Mode  
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s associated  
CEXn pin. The capture/compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the  
output is toggled. The frequency of the square wave is then defined by Equation 26.1.

Note: A value of 0x00 in the PCA0CPHn register is equal to 256 for this equation.

Where F  
is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS20 bits in the PCA mode register,  
PCA  
PCA0MD. The lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA counter low byte; on a  
match, CEXn is toggled and the offset held in the high byte is added to the matched value in PCA0CPLn.  
Frequency Output Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, TOGn, and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn  
register. The MATn bit should normally be set to 0 in this mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for  
the channel will be set when the 16-bit PCA0 counter and the 16-bit capture/compare register for the  
channel are equal.

26.3.5. 8-Bit, 9-Bit, 10-Bit and 11-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Modes  
Each module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its  
associated CEXn pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA counter/timer,  
and the setting of the PWM cycle length (8, 9, 10 or 11-bits). For backwards-compatibility with the 8-bit  
PWM mode available on other devices, the 8-bit PWM mode operates slightly different than 9, 10 and 11-  
bit PWM modes. It is important to note that all channels configured for 8/9/10/11-bit PWM mode will  
use the same cycle length. It is not possible to configure one channel for 8-bit PWM mode and another  
for 11-bit mode (for example). However, other PCA channels can be configured to Pin Capture, High-  
Speed Output, Software Timer, Frequency Output, or 16-bit PWM mode independently.  
26.3.5.1. 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
The duty cycle of the PWM output signal in 8-bit PWM mode is varied using the module's PCA0CPLn  
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 26.8). Also, when the counter/timer low byte (PCA0L) overflows from  
0xFF to 0x00, PCA0CPLn is reloaded automatically with the value stored in the module’s capture/compare  
high byte (PCA0CPHn) without software intervention. Setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the  
PCA0CPMn register, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to 00b enables 8-Bit Pulse Width  
Modulator mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time an 8-bit  
comparator match (rising edge) occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow  
(falling edge), which will occur every 256 PCA clock cycles. The duty cycle for 8-Bit PWM Mode is given in  
Equation 26.2.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0  
Capture/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.

Duty Cycle =  
256  
Equation 26.2. 8-Bit PWM Duty Cycle  
Using Equation 26.2, 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.

26.3.5.2. 9/10/11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
The duty cycle of the PWM output signal in 9/10/11-bit PWM mode should be varied by writing to an “Auto-  
Reload” Register, which is dual-mapped into the PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn register locations. The data  
written to define the duty cycle should be right-justified in the registers. The auto-reload registers are  
accessed (read or written) when the bit ARSEL in PCA0PWM is set to 1. The capture/compare registers  
are accessed when ARSEL is set to 0.  
When the least-significant N bits of the PCA0 counter match the value in the associated module’s  
capture/compare register (PCA0CPn), the output on CEXn is asserted high. When the counter overflows  
from the Nth bit, CEXn is asserted low (see Figure 26.9). Upon an overflow from the Nth bit, the COVF flag  
is set, and the value stored in the module’s auto-reload register is loaded into the capture/compare  
register. The value of N is determined by the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM.  
The 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode is selected by setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn  
register, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to the desired cycle length (other than 8-bits). If  
the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time a comparator match (rising  
edge) occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow (falling edge), which will  
occur every 512 (9-bit), 1024 (10-bit) or 2048 (11-bit) PCA clock cycles. The duty cycle for 9/10/11-Bit  
PWM Mode is given in Equation 26.2, where N is the number of bits in the PWM cycle.  
Important Note About PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the  
PCA0CPn registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn  
bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

26.3.6. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. 16-bit PWM mode is independent of the other  
(8/9/10/11-bit) PWM modes. In this mode, the 16-bit capture/compare module defines the number of PCA  
clocks for the low time of the PWM signal. When the PCA counter matches the module contents, the  
output on CEXn is asserted high; when the 16-bit counter overflows, CEXn is asserted low. To output a  
varying duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with PCA CCFn match interrupts. 16-Bit  
PWM Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a  
varying duty cycle, match interrupts should be enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help synchronize  
the capture/compare register writes. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set  
each time a 16-bit comparator match (rising edge) occurs. The CF flag in PCA0CN can be used to detect  
the overflow (falling edge). The duty cycle for 16-Bit PWM Mode is given by Equation 26.4.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0  
Capture/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.

26.4. Watchdog Timer Mode  
A programmable watchdog timer (WDT) function is available through the PCA Module 5. The WDT is used  
to generate a reset if the time between writes to the WDT update register (PCA0CPH5) exceed a specified  
limit. The WDT can be configured and enabled/disabled as needed by software.  
With the WDTE bit set in the PCA0MD register, Module 5 operates as a watchdog timer (WDT). The  
Module 5 high byte is compared to the PCA counter high byte; the Module 5 low byte holds the offset to be  
used when WDT updates are performed. The Watchdog Timer is enabled on reset. Writes to some  
PCA registers are restricted while the Watchdog Timer is enabled. The WDT will generate a reset  
shortly after code begins execution. To avoid this reset, the WDT should be explicitly disabled (and  
optionally re-configured and re-enabled if it is used in the system).  
26.4.1. Watchdog Timer Operation  
While the WDT is enabled:  
PCA counter is forced on.  
Writes to PCA0L and PCA0H are not allowed.  
PCA clock source bits (CPS2CPS0) are frozen.  
PCA Idle control bit (CIDL) is frozen.  
Module 5 is forced into software timer mode.  
Writes to the Module 5 mode register (PCA0CPM5) are disabled.  
While the WDT is enabled, writes to the CR bit will not change the PCA counter state; the counter will run  
until the WDT is disabled. The PCA counter run control bit (CR) will read zero if the WDT is enabled but  
user software has not enabled the PCA counter. If a match occurs between PCA0CPH5 and PCA0H while  
the WDT is enabled, a reset will be generated. To prevent a WDT reset, the WDT may be updated with a  
write of any value to PCA0CPH5. Upon a PCA0CPH5 write, PCA0H plus the offset held in PCA0CPL5 is  
loaded into PCA0CPH5 (See Figure 26.11).

Note that the 8-bit offset held in PCA0CPH5 is compared to the upper byte of the 16-bit PCA counter. This  
offset value is the number of PCA0L overflows before a reset. Up to 256 PCA clocks may pass before the  
first PCA0L overflow occurs, depending on the value of the PCA0L when the update is performed. The  
total offset is then given (in PCA clocks) by Equation 26.5, where PCA0L is the value of the PCA0L register  
at the time of the update.  
Offset = 256 PCA0CPL5+ 256 – PCA0L  
Equation 26.5. Watchdog Timer Offset in PCA Clocks  
The WDT reset is generated when PCA0L overflows while there is a match between PCA0CPH5 and  
PCA0H. Software may force a WDT reset by writing a 1 to the CCF5 flag (PCA0CN.5) while the WDT is  
enabled.  
26.4.2. Watchdog Timer Usage  
To configure the WDT, perform the following tasks:  
Disable the WDT by writing a 0 to the WDTE bit.  
Select the desired PCA clock source (with the CPS2CPS0 bits).  
Load PCA0CPL5 with the desired WDT update offset value.  
Configure the PCA Idle mode (set CIDL if the WDT should be suspended while the CPU is in Idle  
mode).  
Enable the WDT by setting the WDTE bit to 1.  
Reset the WDT timer by writing to PCA0CPH5.  
The PCA clock source and idle mode select cannot be changed while the WDT is enabled. The watchdog  
timer is enabled by setting the WDTE or WDLCK bits in the PCA0MD register. When WDLCK is set, the  
WDT cannot be disabled until the next system reset. If WDLCK is not set, the WDT is disabled by clearing  
the WDTE bit.  
The WDT is enabled following any reset. The PCA0 counter clock defaults to the system clock divided by  
12, PCA0L defaults to 0x00, and PCA0CPL5 defaults to 0x00. Using Equation 26.5, this results in a WDT  
timeout interval of 256 PCA clock cycles, or 3072 system clock cycles. Table 26.3 lists some example  
timeout intervals for typical system clocks.

27. C2 Interface  
C8051F93x-C8051F92x devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 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.  
27.1. C2 Interface Registers  
The following describes the C2 registers necessary to perform Flash programming through the C2 inter-  
face. All C2 registers are accessed through the C2 interface as described in the C2 Interface Specification.

27.2. C2 Pin Sharing  
The C2 protocol allows the C2 pins to be shared with user functions so that in-system debugging and  
Flash programming may be performed. This is possible because C2 communication is typically performed  
when the device is in the halt state, where all on-chip peripherals and user software are stalled. In this  
halted state, the C2 interface can safely ‘borrow’ the C2CK (RST) and C2D pins. In most applications,  
external resistors are required to isolate C2 interface traffic from the user application. A typical isolation  
configuration is shown in Figure 27.1.

Input (b)  
C2CK  
C2D  
Output (c)  
C2 Interface Master  
Figure 27.1. Typical C2 Pin Sharing  
The configuration in Figure 27.1 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.
