Si106x/108x  
1. System Overview  
Silicon Laboratories’ Si106x Wireless MCUs combine high-performance wireless connectivity and ultra-low  
power microcontroller processing into a small 5x6 mm form factor. Support for major frequency bands in  
the 142 to 1050 MHz range is provided including an integrated advanced packet handling engine and the  
ability to realize a link budget of up to 146 dB. The devices have been optimized to minimize energy con-  
sumption for battery-backed applications by minimizing TX, RX, active, and sleep mode current as well as  
supporting fast wake-up times. The Si106x and Si108x Wireless MCUs are pin-compatible and can scale  
from 8 to 64 kB of flash and provides a robust set of analog and digital peripherals including an ADC, dual  
comparators, timers, and GPIO. All devices are designed to be compliant with the 802.15.4g smart meter-  
ing standard and support worldwide regulatory standards including FCC, ETSI, and ARIB. Refer to  
Table 2.1 for specific product feature selection and part ordering numbers.  
With on-chip power-on reset, V  
monitor, watchdog timer, and clock oscillator, the Si106x devices are  
DD  
truly standalone system-on-a-chip solutions. The flash memory can be reprogrammed even in-circuit, pro-  
viding 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 sav-  
ings.  
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, and run and halt commands. All analog and digital peripherals are fully functional while debug-  
ging using C2. The two C2 interface pins can be shared with user functions, allowing in-system debugging  
without occupying package pins.  
Each device is specified for 1.8 to 3.6 V operation over the industrial temperature range (–40 to +85 °C).  
Select devices will work down to 0.9 V with the dc-dc boost converter, supporting operation on a single  
alkaline cell battery. The Port I/O and RST pins are tolerant of input signals up to 5 V. The Si106x devices  
are available in a 36-pin QFN package (lead-free and RoHS compliant). See Table 2.1 for ordering infor-  
mation. See Figure 1.1 for the block diagram.  
The transceiver's extremely low receive sensitivity (–126 dBm) coupled with industry leading +20 dBm out-  
put power ensures extended range and improved link performance. Built-in antenna diversity and support  
for frequency hopping can be used to further extend range and enhance performance. The advanced radio  
supports major frequency bands in the 119 to 1050 MHz range. The Si106x family includes optimal phase  
noise, blocking, and selectivity performance for narrow band and licensed band applications such as FCC  
Part90 and 169 MHz wireless Mbus. The 60 dB adjacent channel selectivity with 12.5 kHz channel spacing  
ensures robust receive operation in harsh RF conditions, which is particularly important for narrow band  
operation.  
The Si106x offers exceptional output power of up to +20 dBm with outstanding TX efficiency. The high out-  
put power and sensitivity results in an industry-leading link budget of 146 dB allowing extended ranges and  
highly robust communication links. The active mode TX current consumption of 18 mA at +10 dBm and RX  
current of 10 mA coupled with extremely low standby current and fast wake times ensure extended battery  
life in the most demanding applications. The Si106x wireless MCUs can achieve up to +27 dBm output  
power with built-in ramping control of a low-cost external FET. The devices are highly flexible and can be  
configured via Silicon Labs’ graphical configuration tools.

Si106x/108x  
1.1. Typical Connection Diagram  
The application shown in Figure 1.2 is designed for a system with a TX/RX direct-tie configuration without  
the use of a TX/RX switch. Most lower power applications will use this configuration. A complete direct-tie  
reference design is available from Silicon Laboratories applications support.  
For applications seeking improved performance in the presence of multipath fading, antenna diversity can  
be used. Antenna diversity support is integrated into the EZRadioPRO transceiver and can improve the  
system link budget by 8–10 dB in the presence of these fading conditions, resulting in substantial range  
increases. A complete Antenna Diversity reference design is available from Silicon Laboratories applica-  
tions support.

1.2. CIP-51™ Microcontroller Core  
1.2.1. Fully 8051 Compatible  
The Si106x/108x 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.  
1.2.2. 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.  
1.2.3. Additional Features  
The Si106x/108x 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  
analog and digital peripherals to interrupt the controller. An interrupt driven system requires less interven-  
tion 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, SmaRT-  
Clock oscillator fail or alarm, a voltage level detection from Comparator0, a forced software reset, an exter-  
nal 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 disabled in  
software after a power-on reset during MCU initialization.  
The internal oscillator factory is 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 circuit 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 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.

1.3. Port Input/Output  
Digital and analog resources are available through 11 I/O pins. Four additional GPIO pins are available  
through the radio peripheral. Port pins are organized as three byte-wide ports. Port pins P0.0–P0.6 and  
P1.4–P1.6 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  
“33. Device Specific Behavior” on page 352 for more details.  
The designer has complete control over which digital and analog functions are assigned to individual port  
pins and is 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 “20.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on  
page 221 for more information on the crossbar.  
All Px.x Port I/Os are 5 V tolerant when used as digital inputs or open-drain outputs. For Port I/Os config-  
ured as push-pull outputs, current is sourced from the VDD_MCU supply. Port I/Os used for analog func-  
tions can operate up to the VDD_MCU supply voltage. See Section “20.1. Port I/O Modes of Operation” on  
page 218 for more information on Port I/O operating modes and the electrical specifications chapter for  
detailed electrical specifications.

1.4. Serial Ports  
2
The Si106x/108x family includes an SMBus/I C interface, a full-duplex UART with enhanced baud rate  
configuration, and an Enhanced SPI interface. Each of the serial buses is fully implemented in hardware  
and makes extensive use of the CIP-51's interrupts, thus requiring very little CPU intervention. There is  
also a dedicated radio serial interface (SPI1) to allow communication with the radio peripheral.  
1.5. 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 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.

1.6. 10-bit SAR ADC with 16-bit Auto-Averaging Accumulator and Autonomous  
Low Power Burst Mode  
Si106x/108x devices have a 300 ksps, 10-bit successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC with inte-  
grated 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 automati-  
cally average the ADC results, providing an effective 11, 12, or 13-bit ADC result without any additional  
CPU intervention.  
The ADC can sample the voltage at any of the MCU 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_MCU supply voltage, the VBAT supply voltage, and the  
internal digital supply voltage.

1.7. Comparators  
Si106x/108x devices include two on-chip programmable voltage comparators: Comparator 0 (CPT0),  
which is shown in Figure 1.8, and Comparator 1 (CPT1), which is shown in Figure 1.9. The two compara-  
tors operate identically but may differ in their ability to be used as reset or wake-up sources. See Section  
“17. Reset Sources” on page 185 and Section “13. Power Management” on page 160 for details on reset  
sources and low power mode wake-up sources, respectively.  
The comparators offer 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. See Application Note “AN338: Capacitive Touch Sense  
Solution” for details on Capacitive Touch Switch sensing.

General  
1. All dimensions shown are at Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Least Material Condition  
(LMC) is calculated based on a Fabrication Allowance of 0.05 mm.  
2. This Land Pattern Design is based on the IPC-7351 guidelines.  
Solder Mask Design  
3. All metal pads are to be non-solder mask defined (NSMD). Clearance between the solder  
mask and the metal pad is to be 60 µm minimum, all the way around the pad.  
Stencil Design  
4. A stainless steel, laser-cut and electro-polished stencil with trapezoidal walls should be used  
to assure good solder paste release.  
5. The stencil thickness should be 0.125 mm (5 mils).  
6. The ratio of stencil aperture to land pad size should be 1:1 for all perimeter pins.  
7. A 2x2 array of 1.550 mm x 1.300 mm square openings on 1.05 mm pitch should be used for  
the center ground pad.  
Card Assembly  
8. A No-Clean, Type-3 solder paste is recommended.  
9. The recommended card reflow profile is per the JEDEC/IPC J-STD-020 specification for  
Small Body Components.

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 Voltage is the voltage at the VDD_MCU pin, typically 1.8 to 3.6 V (default = 1.9 V).  
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.  
7. 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.  
8. The radio peripheral is placed in Shutdown mode.

Notes:  
1. Represents one standard deviation from the mean.  
2. The temperature sensor settling time is guaranteed by characterization. The temperature sensor settling time,  
resulting from an ADC mux change or enabling of the temperature sensor, varies with the voltage of the  
previously sampled channel and can be up to 6.5 µs if the previously sampled channel voltage was greater  
than 3 V. To minimize the temperature sensor settling time, the ADC mux can be momentarily set to ground  
before being set to the temperature sensor output. This ensures that the temperature sensor output will settle  
in 3 µs or less.

5. 10-Bit SAR ADC with 16-bit Auto-Averaging Accumulator and  
Autonomous Low Power Burst Mode  
The ADC0 on the Si106x/108x 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 automati-  
cally 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 95. The voltage reference for the ADC is  
selected as described in “5.7. Voltage and Ground Reference Options” on page 100.

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  
repeat counts. Notice that accumulating 2n 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). Note: When polling for ADC conversion completions, the ADC0 interrupt flag (AD0INT)  
should be used. Converted data is available in the ADC0 data registers, ADC0H:ADC0L, when bit AD0INT  
is logic 1. Note that when Timer 2 or Timer 3 overflows are used as the conversion source, Low Byte over-  
flows 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 “31. Timers” on page 311 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  
“20. Si106x/108xPort Input/Output” on page 217 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. 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 con-  
verter 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 15.1. DC0CN: DC-DC  
Converter Control” on page 181 and the description of the AD0CKINV bit in “SFR Definition 15.2. DC0CF:  
DC-DC Converter Configuration” on page 182. This bit must be set to 0 in two-cell mode for the ADC to  
operate.

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 84.

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 20 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 84 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 SYSCLK 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 83 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.  
External 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 “11.6. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1” on  
page 147 for details on external interrupts and section “20.4. Port Match” on page 226 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, RTOTAL reduces to RMUX. See Table 4.9 for ADC0 minimum settling time require-  
DD  
ments as well as the mux impedance and sampling capacitor values.

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-pro-  
grammed limits, and notifies the system when a desired condition is detected. This is especially effective in  
an interrupt-driven system, saving code space and CPU bandwidth while delivering faster system  
response times. The window detector interrupt flag (AD0WINT in register ADC0CN) can also be used in

5.5. ADC0 Analog Multiplexer  
ADC0 on Si106x/108x 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, Regulated Digital Supply Voltage (Output of  
VREG0), VDD_MCU 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.

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.

5.6. Temperature Sensor  
An on-chip temperature sensor is included on the Si106x/108x 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 correctly.  
TEMP  
The TEMPE bit in register REF0CN enables/disables the temperature sensor, as described in SFR Defini-  
tion 5.15. While disabled, the temperature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any ADC mea-  
surements performed on the sensor will result in meaningless data. Refer to Table 4.9 for the slope and  
offset parameters of the temperature sensor.  
Note: Before switching the ADC multiplexer from another channel to the temperature sensor, the ADC mux should

5.6.1. Calibration  
The uncalibrated temperature sensor output is extremely linear and suitable for relative temperature mea-  
surements (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:  
1. Control/measure the ambient temperature (this temperature must be known).  
2. Power the device, and delay for a few seconds to allow for self-heating.  
3. Perform an ADC conversion with the temperature sensor selected as the positive input and GND  
Rev. 1.0  
97  
Si106x/108x  
selected as the negative input.  
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. Parame-  
ters that affect ADC measurement, in particular the voltage reference value, will also affect tem-  
perature measurement.  
A single-point offset measurement of the temperature sensor is performed on each device during produc-  
tion test. The measurement is performed at 25 °C ±5 °C, using the ADC with the internal high speed refer-  
ence 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 102.  
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 refer-  
ence to ADC0, P0.1/AGND should be configured as an analog input and skipped by the Digital Crossbar.  
Refer to Section “20. Si106x/108xPort Input/Output” on page 217 for complete Port I/O configuration  
details. The external reference voltage must be within the range 0 V  
VDD_MCU and the external  
REF  
ground 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 voltage refer-  
ence 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 oscillator 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 (VDD_MCU) or the 1.8 V regulated digital supply voltage as the ref-  
erence 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 device 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 device 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 tem-  
perature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any ADC0 measurements performed on the sen-  
sor result in meaningless data. See Section “5.6. Temperature Sensor” on page 97 for details on  
temperature sensor characteristics when it is enabled.

6. Comparators  
Si106x/108x devices include two on-chip programmable voltage comparators: Comparator 0 (CPT0) is  
shown in Figure 6.1; Comparator 1 (CPT1) is shown in Figure 6.2. The two comparators operate identi-  
cally, 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.  
6.1. 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 “6.6. Comparator0 and  
Comparator1 Analog Multiplexers” on page 110 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.

6.2. 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 6.2. 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 asyn-  
chronous 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.

6.3. Comparator Response Time  
Comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPTnMD registers described on  
“CPT0MD: Comparator 0 Mode Selection” on page 107 and “CPT1MD: Comparator 1 Mode Selection” on  
page 109. 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 cur-  
rent. 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 4.12  
on page 63 for complete comparator timing and supply current specifications.  
6.4. Comparator Hysteresis  
The Comparators feature software-programmable hysteresis 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 sym-  
metry of this hysteresis around the threshold voltage (i.e., the comparator negative input).  
Figure 6.3 shows that when positive hysteresis 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 hysteresis. It also shows that when negative hysteresis 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 hysteresis.  
The amount of positive hysteresis is determined by the settings of the CPnHYP bits in the CPTnCN regis-  
ter and the amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CPnHYN bits in the  
same register. Settings of 20, 10, 5, or 0 mV can be programmed for both positive and negative hysteresis.  
See Section “Table 4.12. Comparator Electrical Characteristics” on page 63 for complete comparator hys-  
teresis specifications.

6.5. Comparator Register Descriptions  
The SFRs used to enable and configure the comparators are described in the following register descrip-  
tions. 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 Com-  
parator while powering on or if changes are made to the hysteresis or response time control bits. There-  
fore, 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 4.12. Comparator Electrical Characteristics” on page 63.

6.6. Comparator0 and Comparator1 Analog Multiplexers  
Comparator0 and Comparator1 on Si106x/108x devices have analog input multiplexers to connect Port I/O  
pins and internal signals the comparator inputs; CP0+/CP0- are the positive and negative input multiplex-  
ers 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 “31. Timers” on page 311 for details. See Application Note AN338 for details on Capaci-  
tive Touch Switch sensing.  
Any of the following may be selected as comparator inputs: Port I/O pins, Capacitive Touch Sense Com-  
pare, VDD_MCU Supply Voltage, Regulated Digital Supply Voltage (Output of VREG0) or ground. The  
Comparator’s supply voltage divided by 2 is also available as an input; the resistors used to divide the volt-  
age only draw current when this setting is selected. The Comparator input multiplexers are configured  
using the CPT0MX and CPT1MX registers described in SFR Definition 6.5 and SFR Definition 6.6.

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 “20. Si106x/108xPort Input/Output” on page 217 for more Port I/O configuration  
details.

7. 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 33), 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 7.1 for a block diagram).  
The CIP-51 includes the following features:  
Fully Compatible with MCS-51 Instruction Set  
25 MIPS Peak Throughput with 25 MHz Clock  
0 to 25 MHz Clock Frequency  
Reset Input  
Power Management Modes  
On-chip Debug Logic  
Extended Interrupt Handler  
Program and Data Memory Security  
7.1. Performance  
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the stan-  
dard 8051 architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system  
clock cycles to execute, and usually have a maximum system clock of 12 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51  
core executes 70% of its instructions in one or two system clock cycles, with no instructions taking more  
than eight system clock cycles.

7.2. 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 “33. Device Specific Behavior” on page 352.  
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.  
7.3. 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.  
7.3.1. 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 7.1 is the  
CIP-51 Instruction Set Summary, which includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock  
cycles for each instruction.

7.4. 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.

8. 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  
Si106x device family is shown in Figure 8.1 and the Si108x device family is shown in Figure 8.2.

8.1. Program Memory  
The CIP-51 core has a 64 kB program memory space. The Si106x implements 64 kB (Si1060/2/4) and  
32 kB (Si1061/3/5) of this program memory space as in-system, re-programmable flash memory, orga-  
nized in a contiguous block from addresses 0x0000 to 0xFBFF (Si1060/2/4) or 0x7FFF (Si1061/3/5). The  
address 0xFBFF (Si1060/2/4) or 0x7FFF (Si1061/3/5) serves as the security lock byte for the device. Any  
addresses above the lock byte are reserved.

The Si108x implements 16 kB (Si1080/2/4) or 8 kB (Si1081/3/5) of this program memory space as in-sys-  
tem, re-programmable Flash memory, organized in a contiguous block from address 0x0000 to 0x3BFFF  
(Si1080/2/4) or 0x1FFF (Si1018/3/5). The last byte of this contiguous block of addresses serves as the  
security lock byte for the device. Any addresses above the lock byte are reserved.

Si106x/108x  
When creating applications that program their own Flash such as bootloaders, data loggers, etc, it is possi-  
ble to write generic Flash management routines that operate on either 512 byte or 1024 byte Flash pages;  
however, this may not result in the most optimal memory usage. For example, in such a system, the logical  
Flash page size must be set to 1024 bytes. This can pose limitations on devices with a small Flash size.  
For example, an 8 kB device would only have 8 logical Flash pages. For larger Flash devices that have  
1024 byte pages, each Flash page must be erased twice in order for the same code to support smaller  
devices that have 512 bytes per physical Flash page. In most applications, the most efficient method to  
support various devices is to use conditional compilation to tailor the Flash write/erase routines for each  
device.  
8.1.1. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory  
The MOVX instruction in an 8051 device is typically used to access external data memory. On the  
Si106x/108x/S108x 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 Si106x/108x to update program code and use the program memory  
space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Section “12. Flash Memory” on page 149 for further details.  
8.2. Data Memory  
The Si106x/108x 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 “external” memory.  
The data memory map is shown in Figure 8.1 for reference.  
The Si108x device family include 768 bytes of RAM data memory. 256 bytes of this memory is mapped to  
the internal RAM space of the 8051. The remainder of this memory is on-chip “external” memory. The data  
memory map is shown in Figure 8.2 for reference.  
8.2.1. 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 8.1 and Figure 8.2 illustrate the data memory organization of the  
Si106x/108x and Si108x.  
8.2.1.1. 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 7.6). This allows  
fast context switching when entering subroutines and interrupt service routines. Indirect addressing modes  
use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.

Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
8.2.1.2. 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.  
8.2.1.3. 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.  
8.2.2. External RAM  
There are 512 bytes (Si108x) or 4096 bytes (Si106x) of on-chip RAM mapped into the external data mem-  
ory 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.

9. On-Chip XRAM  
The Si106x/108x MCUs include on-chip RAM mapped into the external data memory space (XRAM). 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 Defi-  
nition 9.1).  
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.  
Important Note: MOVX write operations can be configured to target flash memory, instead of XRAM. See  
Section “12. Flash Memory” on page 149 for more details. The MOVX instruction accesses XRAM by  
default.  
9.1. Accessing XRAM  
The XRAM memory space is accessed using the MOVX instruction. The MOVX instruction has two forms,  
both of which use an indirect addressing method. The first method uses the Data Pointer, DPTR, a 16-bit  
register which contains the effective address of the XRAM location to be read from or written to. The sec-  
ond method uses R0 or R1 in combination with the EMI0CN register to generate the effective XRAM  
address. Examples of both of these methods are given below.  
9.1.1. 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.  
9.1.2. 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

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, EMI0CN deter-  
mines which page of XRAM is accessed.  
For Example:  
If EMI0CN = 0x01, addresses 0x0100 through 0x01FF will be accessed.  
If EMI0CN = 0x0F, addresses 0x0F00 through 0x0FFF will be accessed.

10. 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 Si106x/108x's resources and peripherals.  
The CIP-51 controller core duplicates the SFRs found in a typical 8051 implementation as well as imple-  
menting additional SFRs used to configure and access the sub-systems unique to the Si106x/108x. This  
allows the addition of new functionality while retaining compatibility with the MCS-51™ instruction set.  
Table 10.1 and Table 10.2 list the SFRs implemented in the Si106x/108x 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 10.3, for a detailed description of each register.

10.1. SFR Paging  
To accommodate more than 128 SFRs in the 0x80 to 0xFF address space, SFR paging has been imple-  
mented. By default, all SFR accesses target SFR Page 0x0 to allow access to the registers listed in  
Table 10.1. During device initialization, some SFRs located on SFR Page 0xF may need to be accessed.  
Table 10.2 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:  
1. Save the current interrupt state (EA_save = EA).  
2. Disable Interrupts (EA = 0).  
3. Set SFRPAGE = 0xF.  
4. Access the SFRs located on SFR Page 0xF.  
5. Set SFRPAGE = 0x0.  
6. Restore interrupt state (EA = EA_save).

Devices in the Si106x device family share the same SFR address locations for most registers. This allows  
the si1060_defs.h and the si1080_defs.h header files to be used interchangeably in applications that target  
devices in the Si106x and Si108x family. It also allows code developed on one device to be executed on  
any other device in the product family without modification.  
There are few minor differences between the si1060_defs.h and the si1080_defs.h files. When writing soft-  
ware that targets multiple devices in the Si106x and Si108x family, the si1060_defs.h header file is recom-  
mended because it does not contain definitions for the “plus” registers which are only found on the Si106x  
devices. When using this header file, a compiler error will be generated if any of the “plus” registers are  
used in the software.  
Table 10.4 highlights the registers that are not identical in all devices in the Si106x and Si108x product  
family.

11. Interrupt Handler  
The Si106x/108x microcontroller family includes an extended interrupt system supporting multiple interrupt  
sources and two priority levels. The allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripherals and exter-  
nal input pins varies according to the specific version of the device. Refer to Table 11.1, “Interrupt Sum-  
mary,” on page 139 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 condi-  
tions 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.  
11.1. 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.  
11.2. 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 11.1 on page 139. 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.

11.3. 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 11.1 on  
page 139 to determine the fixed priority order used to arbitrate between simultaneously recognized inter-  
rupts.  
11.4. 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  
execute the LCALL to the ISR. If the CPU is executing an ISR for an interrupt with equal or higher priority,  
the new interrupt will not be serviced until the current ISR completes, including the RETI and following  
instruction.

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 “31.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1” on page 313) select level or  
edge sensitive. The table below lists the possible configurations.

INT0 and INT1 are assigned to Port pins as defined in the IT01CF register (see SFR Definition 11.7). Note  
that INT0 and INT0 Port pin assignments are independent of any Crossbar assignments. INT0 and INT1  
will monitor their assigned Port pins without disturbing the peripheral that was assigned the Port pin via the  
Crossbar. To assign a Port pin only to INT0 and/or INT1, configure the Crossbar to skip the selected pin(s).  
This is accomplished by setting the associated bit in register XBR0 (see Section “20.3. Priority Crossbar  
Decoder” on page 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.

12. 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.  
12.1. 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 “33. Device  
Specific Behavior” on page 352.  
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 “12.5. Flash  
Write and Erase Guidelines” on page 154.  
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 memory from software. Fur-  
thermore, there should be no delay between enabling the V Monitor and enabling the V Monitor as a  
DD  
DD  
reset source. Any attempt to write or erase flash memory while the V Monitor is disabled, or not enabled  
DD  
as a reset source, will cause a flash error device reset.  
12.1.1. 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 performed. The  
FLKEY register is detailed in SFR Definition 12.2.  
Rev. 1.0  
149  
Si106x/108x  
12.1.2. 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 “12.3. Security Options” on page 151.  
3. 8-bit MOVX instructions cannot be used to erase or write to flash memory at addresses higher than 0x00FF.  
12.1.3. 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 “12.3. Security  
Options” on page 151.

12.2. 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.  
12.3. 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 con-  
stants 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. Note that the  
page containing the flash Security Lock Byte is unlocked when no other flash pages are locked (all  
bits of the Lock Byte are 1) and locked when any other flash pages are locked (any bit of the Lock  
Byte is 0). See the 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 12.1 summarizes the flash security  
features of the Si106x/108x devices.

12.4. 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:  
0xE0—Si1060/Si1080  
0xE1—Si1061/Si1081  
0xE2—Si1062/Si1082  
0xE3—Si1063/Si1083  
0xE4—Si1064/Si1084  
0xE5—Si1065/Si1085  
12.5. 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 Si106x 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 gener-  
ated 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.  
12.5.1. 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 minimum V rise time specification of 1 ms is met. If the system cannot meet  
DD  
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 V reaches the minimum device operating voltage and re-asserts RST if  
DD  
V
drops below the minimum device operating voltage.  
DD  
3. Keep the on-chip VDD Monitor enabled and enable the V Monitor as a reset source as early in code  
DD  
as possible. This should be the first set of instructions executed after the Reset Vector. For C-based  
systems, this will involve modifying the startup code added by the C compiler. See your compiler  
documentation for more details. Make certain that there are no delays in software between enabling the  
V
Monitor and enabling the V Monitor as a reset source. Code examples showing this can be  
DD  
DD  
found in “AN201: Writing to Flash from Firmware," available from the Silicon Laboratories website.  
Notes: On Si106x/108x 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 Si106x/108x 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 V Monitor and enable the V Monitor as a reset  
DD  
DD  
source inside the functions that write and erase flash memory. The V Monitor enable instructions  
DD  
should be placed just after the instruction to set PSWE to a 1, but before the flash write or erase  
operation instruction.  
154  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
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 example, "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.  
12.5.2. 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 routine 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 Silicon Laboratories website.  
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 serviced 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 different 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.  
12.5.3. 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.

12.6. Minimizing Flash Read Current  
The flash memory in the Si106x/108x devices is responsible for a substantial portion of the total digital sup-  
ply 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 interrupt 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. Si106x/108x 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-duration 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 frequencies reduces  
power consumption. The one-shot is enabled by default, and it can be disabled (bypassed) by setting  
the BYPASS bit (FLSCL.6) to logic 1. To re-enable the one-shot, clear the BYPASS bit to logic 0. After  
changing the BYPASS bit from 1 to 0, the third opcode byte fetched from program memory is  
indeterminate. Therefore, the operation which clears the BYPASS bit should 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 FLWR register. When programming in C, the dummy value written to FLWR  
should be a non-zero value to prevent the compiler from generating a 2-byte MOV instruction.  
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%).  
4. The flash memory is organized in rows. Each row in the Si106x/108x 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 compared to the same 3-cycle loop  
contained entirely within a single row.  
5. 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.

7:0 FLKEY[7:0] Flash Lock and Key Register.  
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).  
10: Flash is unlocked (writes/erases allowed).  
11: Flash writes/erases disabled until the next reset.

that targets the FLWR register. When programming in C, the dummy value written to FLWR should be a non-  
zero value to prevent the compiler from generating a 2-byte MOV instruction.

13. Power Management  
Si106x/108x devices support 5 power modes: Normal, Idle, Stop, Suspend, and Sleep. The power man-  
agement 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 13.1. 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  
buses draw little power whenever they are not in use. Digital peripherals draw no power in Sleep Mode.

13.1. Normal Mode  
The MCU is fully functional in Normal Mode. Figure 13.1 shows the on-chip power distribution to various  
peripherals. There are three supply voltages powering various sections of the device: 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.

Two-cell: 1.8 to 3.6 V

13.2. 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 12.3. 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 “17.6. PCA Watchdog Timer  
Reset” on page 190 for more information on the use and configuration of the WDT.  
13.3. 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 Si106x/108x devices, the Precision Oscillator Bias is not automatically disabled and should be disabled  
by software to achieve the lowest possible Stop mode current.  
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 12.3. FLSCL: Flash Scale for  
more information on how to properly clear the BYPASS bit.  
Rev. 1.0  
162  
Si106x/108x  
13.4. 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 12.3. 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 system clock source must be set to the low power internal oscillator or the precision  
oscillator prior to entering 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_MCU/DC+ is recommend for RST to prevent noise glitches from waking the device.  
13.5. 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 VDD_MCU pin (see Figure 13.1). Power to most digital logic on  
the device is disconnected; only PMU0 and the SmaRTClock remain powered. Analog peripherals remain  
powered. The Comparators remain functional when the device enters sleep mode. All other analog periph-  
erals (ADC0, External Oscillator, etc.) should be disabled prior to entering sleep mode. The system clock  
source must be set to the low power internal oscillator or the precision oscillator 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.  
Any write to PMU0CF which places the device in sleep mode should be immediately followed by two  
NOP instructions. Software that does not place two NOP instructions immediately following the write to  
PMU0CF should continue to behave the same way as during software development.  
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_MCU/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.  
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 specifications 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.  
163  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
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 (or  
VDD_MCU on Si1060/61/80/81 devices) does not fall below V  
. The PC counter and all other volatile  
POR  
state information is preserved allowing the device to 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_MCU/DC+ is recommend for RST to prevent noise glitches from waking the device.  
13.6. 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.  
13.7. 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 wak-  
ing 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 deter-  
mine 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.

14. Cyclic Redundancy Check Unit (CRC0)  
Si106x/108x 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 14.1. CRC0 also has a bit reverse register  
for quick data manipulation.

14.1. 16-bit CRC Algorithm  
The Si106x/108x 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 exam-  
ple.  
The 16-bit Si106x/108x 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  
Rev. 1.0  
167  
Si106x/108x  
// 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;

14.2. 32-bit CRC Algorithm  
The Si106x 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 Si106x 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;  
}

14.3. 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).  
14.4. 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.  
6. After initiating 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.  
7. Clear the AUTOEN bit in CRC0AUTO.  
8. Read the CRC result using the procedure below.  
14.5. 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.

15. On-Chip DC-DC Converter (DC0)  
Si1062/3/4/5, Si1082/3/4/5 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 15.1 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_MCU/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  
Control 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.

15.1. 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_MCU/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_MCU/DC+ pin.  
Once initial power-on is complete, the peak inductor current limit can be increased by software as shown in  
Table 15.1. Limiting the peak inductor current can allow the device to start up near the battery’s end of life.

15.2. 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_MCU/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 ripple 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.  
15.3. 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 50 and page 51 show the effect of pulse skipping on power consump-  
tion.  
15.4. 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  
“13. Power Management” on page 160 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 “17. Reset Sources” on page 185 for more information regarding  
reset behavior.  
Figure 15.2 shows the two 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/VBAT– 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/VBAT–, the 4.7 µF capacitor, the 0.68 µH inductor and the DCEN pin  
should be made as short as possible to minimize capacitance.  
The PCB traces connecting VDD_MCU/DC+ to the output capacitor and the output capacitor to  
GND_MCU/DC– should be as short and as thick as possible in order to minimize parasitic inductance.  
178  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
15.5. Minimizing Power Supply Noise  
To minimize noise on the power supply lines, the GND/VBAT– and GND_MCU/DC- pins should be kept  
separate, as shown in Figure 15.2; GND_MCU/DC- should be connected to the pc board ground plane.  
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 device between VDD_MCU/DC+ and GND/VBAT-, or between VBAT and GND_MCU/DC-) can  
result in high supply noise across that circuit element.  
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.  
15.6. 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.  
15.7. 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.

15.8. DC-DC Converter Behavior in Sleep Mode  
When the Si106x/108x devices are placed in Sleep mode, the dc-dc converter is disabled, and the  
VDD_MCU/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_MCU/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_MCU/DC+ load current (include leakage currents) is negligible, then the capacitor on  
VDD_MCU/DC+ will maintain the output voltage near the programmed value, which means that the  
VDD_MCU/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 func-  
tion during Sleep mode without operating the dc-dc converter, powered by the energy stored in the 1 µF  
output decoupling capacitor. For example, the 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_MCU/DC+ is high enough to discharge the VDD_MCU/DC+ capacitance to a  
voltage lower than VBAT during the sleep interval, an internal diode will prevent VDD_MCU/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_MCU/DC+ level falls below VBAT, but this leakage current should be  
small compared to the current from VDD_MCU/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 “13. Power Management” on page 160 for more information about sleep mode.

16. Voltage Regulator (VREG0)  
Si106x/108x devices include an internal voltage regulator (VREG0) to regulate the internal core supply to  
1.8 V from a VDD_MCU supply of 1.8 to 3.6 V. Electrical characteristics for the on-chip regulator are spec-  
ified in the Electrical Specifications chapter.  
The REG0CN register allows the Precision Oscillator Bias to be disabled, saving approximately 80 µA 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 “13. Power Management” on page 160 for complete  
details about low power modes.

17. Reset Sources  
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this  
reset state, the following occur:  
CIP-51 halts program execution  
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values  
External Port pins are forced to a known state  
Interrupts and timers are disabled  
All SFRs are reset to the predefined values noted in the SFR descriptions. The contents of RAM are unaf-  
fected 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 pull-ups are enabled  
during and after the reset. For power-on resets, the RST pin is high-impedance with the weak pull-up off  
until the device exits the reset state. For VDD monitor resets, the RST pin is driven low until the device  
exits the reset state.  
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to an internal  
oscillator. Refer to Section “18. Clocking Sources” on page 192 for information on selecting and configur-  
ing the system clock source. The Watchdog Timer is enabled with the system clock divided by 12 as its  
clock source (Section “32.4. Watchdog Timer Mode” on page 344 details the use of the Watchdog Timer).  
Program execution begins at location 0x0000.

resets). Since all resets cause program execution to begin at the same location (0x0000), software can  
read the PORSF flag to determine if a power-up was the cause of reset. The contents of internal data  
memory should be assumed to be undefined after a power-on reset.

17.2. Power-Fail (VDD_MCU Supply Monitor) Reset  
Si106x/108x devices have a VDD_MCU 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_MCU to drop below V  
will cause the RST pin to be  
RST  
driven low and the CIP-51 will be held in a reset state (see Figure 17.3). When VDD_MCU 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_MCU supply  
monitor is enabled and selected as a reset source. The enable state of the VDD_MCU supply monitor and  
its selection as a reset source is only altered by power-on and power-fail resets. For example, if the  
VDD_MCU supply monitor is de-selected as a reset source and disabled by software, then a software  
reset is performed, the VDD_MCU 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_MCU 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_MCU supply falls below the V  
threshold. The VDDOK bit can be configured to generate an  
WARN  
interrupt. See Section “11. Interrupt Handler” on page 137 for more details.  
Important Note: To protect the integrity of Flash contents, the VDD_MCU supply monitor must be  
enabled and selected as a reset source if software contains routines which erase or write Flash  
memory. If the VDD_MCU 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_MCU supply monitor reset. See Section  
“4. Electrical Characteristics” on page 42 for complete electrical characteristics of the VDD_MCU  
monitor.  
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_MCU supply monitor must be enabled before selecting it as a reset source. Selecting the  
VDD_MCU 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_MCU supply monitor and selecting it as a reset source. See Section “4. Electrical Characteristics”  
on page 42 for minimum VDD_MCU 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_MCU supply monitor and selecting it as a reset source is shown below:  
1. Enable the VDD_MCU Supply Monitor (VDMEN bit in VDM0CN = 1).  
2. Wait for the VDD_MCU Supply Monitor to stabilize (optional).  
3. Select the VDD_MCU Supply Monitor as a reset source (PORSF bit in RSTSRC = 1).

17.3. External Reset  
The external RST pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the device into a reset state. Assert-  
ing an active-low signal on the RST pin generates a reset; an external pullup and/or decoupling of the RST  
pin may be necessary to avoid erroneous noise-induced resets. See Table 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.  
17.4. Missing Clock Detector Reset  
The Missing Clock Detector (MCD) is a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the system clock. If the system  
clock remains high or low for more than 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.

17.5. Comparator0 Reset  
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5). Com-  
parator0 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 functional 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.  
17.6. PCA Watchdog Timer Reset  
The programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) function of the Programmable Counter Array (PCA) can be  
used to prevent software from running out of control during a system malfunction. The PCA WDT function  
can be enabled or disabled by software as described in Section “32.4. Watchdog Timer Mode” on  
page 344; 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.  
17.7. Flash Error Reset  
If a Flash read/write/erase or program read targets an illegal address, a system reset is generated. This  
may occur due to any of the following:  
A Flash write or erase is attempted above user code space. This occurs when PSWE is set to 1 and a  
MOVX write operation targets an address 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  
“12.3. Security Options” on page 151).  
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.  
17.8. 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  
(RSTSRC.7). The SmaRTClock reset remains functional even when the device is in the low power Sus-  
pend or Sleep mode. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
17.9. 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.

18. Clocking Sources  
Si106x/108x devices include a programmable precision internal oscillator, an external oscillator drive cir-  
cuit, 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 18.1. 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. SmaRT-  
Clock 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.

18.1. Programmable Precision Internal Oscillator  
All Si106x/108x 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 Table 4.7, “Internal Preci-  
sion Oscillator Electrical Characteristics,” on page 59 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.  
18.2. Low Power Internal Oscillator  
All Si106x/108x 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 Table 4.8, “Internal Low-Power  
Oscillator Electrical Characteristics,” on page 59 for complete oscillator specifications.  
18.3. External Oscillator Drive Circuit  
All Si106x/108x 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 18.1 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 42 for complete oscillator specifications.  
18.3.1. External Crystal Mode  
If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the external oscillator, the crystal/resonator and a 10 Mresis-  
tor must be wired across the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins as shown in Figure 18.1, Option 1. Appropriate load-  
ing 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 18.2 shows the external oscillator circuit for a 20 MHz quartz crystal with a manufacturer recom-  
mended load capacitance of 12.5 pF. Loading capacitors are "in series" as seen by the crystal and "in par-  
allel" 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 capac-  
itance 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. Please refer to the crystal  
data sheet when completing these calculations.

Figure 18.2. 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 Crys-  
tal 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 Con-  
trol value (XFCN) must also be specified based on the crystal frequency. The selection should be based on  
Table 18.1. 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 deter-  
mine 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.

18.3.2. External RC Mode  
If an RC network is used as the external oscillator, the circuit should be configured as shown in  
Figure 18.1, 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:  
1.23 103  
R C

f =  
where  
f = frequency of clock in MHzR = pull-up resistor value in k  
= power supply voltage in VoltsC = capacitor value on the XTAL2 pin in pF  
V
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 fre-  
quency desired is 100 kHz, let R = 246 kand C = 50 pF:  
1.23 103

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.  
18.3.3. External Capacitor Mode  
If a capacitor is used as the external oscillator, the circuit should be configured as shown in Figure 18.1,  
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 MHzR = pull-up resistor value in k  
= power supply voltage in VoltsC = capacitor value on the XTAL2 pin in pF  
V
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 18.2 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.  
18.3.4. 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.

18.4. Special Function Registers for Selecting and Configuring the System Clock  
The clocking sources on Si106x/108x devices are enabled and configured using the OSCICN, OSCICL,  
OSCXCN and the SmaRTClock internal registers. See Section “19. 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.

19. SmaRTClock (Real Time Clock)  
Si106x/108x 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 pro-  
grammable to 16 discrete levels allowing compatibility with a wide range of crystals. The SmaRTClock 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 “17. Reset Sources” on page 185 and Section  
“13. Power Management” on page 160 for details on reset sources and low power mode wake-up sources,  
respectively.

SmaRTClock Alarm  
Registers  
Four registers used for setting or reading the  
32-bit SmaRTClock alarm value.  
19.1.1. 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 19.1 lists  
the definition of each status code.  
19.1.2. 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 SmaRT-  
Clock 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  
201  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
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.  
19.1.3. 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 sys-  
tem clocks. The Short Strobe feature is automatically enabled on reset and can be manually enabled/dis-  
abled using the SHORT (RTC0ADR.4) control bit.  
Recommended Instruction Timing for a single register read with short strobe enabled:  
mov RTC0ADR, #095h  
nop  
nop  
nop  
mov A, RTC0DAT  
Recommended Instruction Timing for a single register write with short strobe enabled:  
mov RTC0ADR, #095h  
mov RTC0DAT, #000h  
nop  
19.1.4. 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 begin-  
ning 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.  
19.1.5. RTC0ADR Autoincrement Feature  
For ease of reading and writing the 32-bit CAPTURE and ALARM values, RTC0ADR automatically incre-  
ments 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.

19.2. 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  
“31. Timers” on page 311 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 Section  
“18. Clocking Sources” on page 192 for information on selecting the system clock source and Section  
“20. Si106x/108xPort Input/Output” on page 217 for information on how to route the system clock to a port pin.  
19.2.1. 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  
oscillator 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 volt-  
age (VIH) for XTAL3 when used with an external CMOS clock are 0.1 and 0.8 V, respectively. The SmaRT-  
Clock 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 SmaRT-  
Clock oscillator is powered on to ensure that there is a valid clock on XTAL3.  
19.2.2. 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).  
207  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
19.2.3. Using the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO)  
The low frequency oscillator provides an ultra low power, on-chip clock source to the SmaRTClock. The  
typical frequency of oscillation is 16.4 kHz 20%. No external components are required to use the LFO,  
and the XTAL3 and XTAL4 pins do not need to be shorted together. The LFO is only available on the  
Si108x devices.  
The following steps show how to configure SmaRTClock for use with the LFO:  
1. Enable and select the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFOEN=1).  
2. The LFO starts oscillating instantaneously. When the LFO is enabled, the SmaRTClock oscillator  
increments bit 1 of the 32-bit timer (instead of bit 0). This effectively multiplies the LFO frequency by 2,  
making the RTC timebase behave as if a 32.768 kHz crystal is connected at the output.  
19.2.4. 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 19.2 shows the crystal load capacitance for various settings of  
LOADCAP.

19.2.5. 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 sys-  
tems which use the SmaRTClock oscillator in Crystal Mode. The following are recommended crystal spec-  
ifications 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 condi-  
tions: 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 robust-  
ness. As shown in Figure 19.2, 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 19.2. 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 19.3 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 environmen-  
tal conditions such as excessive moisture. SmaRTClock Bias Doubling is enabled by setting BIASX2  
(RTC0XCN.5) to 1.

19.2.6. 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 “11. Interrupt Handler” on page 137, Section “13. Power Manage-  
ment” on page 160, and Section “17. Reset Sources” on page 185 for more information.  
Note: The SmaRTClock Missing Clock Detector should be disabled when making changes to the oscillator settings in  
RTC0XCN.  
19.2.7. 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  
oscillator, 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.

19.3. 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 “11. Interrupt  
Handler” on page 137, Section “13. Power Management” on page 160, and Section “17. Reset Sources”  
on page 185 for more information.  
The SmaRTClock timer includes an Auto Reset feature, which automatically resets the timer to zero one  
SmaRTClock cycle after the alarm signal is deasserted. When using Auto Reset, the Alarm match value  
should always be set to 2 counts less than the desired match value. Auto Reset can be enabled by writing  
a 1 to ALRM (RTC0CN.2).  
19.3.1. 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 SmaRTClock  
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  
19.3.2. 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 “11. Interrupt Handler” on page 137, Section “13. Power Management”  
on page 160, and Section “17. Reset Sources” on page 185 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  
SmaRTClock 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 “13. Power Management” on page 160 for information on how to capture a SmaRTClock Alarm  
event using a flag which is not automatically cleared by hardware.

19.3.3. 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 regis-  
ters. Software only needs to set the alarm interval once during device initialization. After each alarm, soft-  
ware 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.

20. Si106x/108xPort Input/Output  
Digital and analog resources are available through 11 I/O pins. The radio peripheral provides an additional  
4 GPIO pins which are independent of the pins described in this chapter. Port pins are organized as three  
byte-wide ports. Port pins P0.0–P0.6, P1.4–P1.6, and P2.7 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. P0.7, P1.0–P1.3 are dedicated for communica-  
tion with the radio peripheral. P2.7 can be used as GPIO and is shared with the C2 Interface Data signal  
(C2D). See Section “33. Device Specific Behavior” on page 352 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 20.3 for more information on the Crossbar.  
All Px.x Port I/Os are 5V tolerant when used as digital inputs or open-drain outputs. For Port I/Os config-  
ured as push-pull outputs, current is sourced from the VDD_MCU supply. Port I/Os used for analog func-  
tions can operate up to the VDD_MCU supply voltage. See Section 20.1 for more information on Port I/O  
operating modes and the electrical specifications chapter for detailed electrical specifications.

20.1. Port I/O Modes of Operation  
Port pins P0.0–P0.6 and P1.4–P1.6 use the Port I/O cell shown in Figure 20.2. Each Port I/O cell can be  
configured by software for analog I/O or digital I/O using the PnMDIN registers. On reset, all Port I/O cells  
default to a digital high impedance state with weak pull-ups enabled.  
20.1.1. 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.  
20.1.2. Port Pins Configured For Digital I/O  
Any pins to be used by digital peripherals (UART, SPI, SMBus, etc.), external digital event capture func-  
tions, or as GPIO should be configured as digital I/O (PnMDIN.n = 1). For digital I/O pins, one of two output  
modes (push-pull or open-drain) must be selected using the PnMDOUT registers.  
Push-pull outputs (PnMDOUT.n = 1) drive the Port pad to the VDD_MCU 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_MCU 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.

20.1.3. 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, interfac-  
ing 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_MCU/DC+ plus 0.4 V) and  
(VDD_MCU/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 oper-  
ating at the same supply voltage.  
20.1.4. 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 Characteris-  
tics” on page 42 for the difference in output drive strength between the two modes.  
20.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog and Digital Functions  
Port I/O pins P0.0–P0.6 and P1.4–P1.6 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 digital or external interrupt functions should be configured for digital I/O.  
20.2.1. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog Functions  
Table 20.1 shows all available analog functions that 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 20.1 shows the potential mapping of Port I/O to  
each analog function.

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

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

20.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder  
The Priority Crossbar Decoder assigns a Port I/O pin to each software selected digital function using the  
fixed peripheral priority order shown in Figure 20.3. The registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2 defined in SFR  
Definition 20.1, SFR Definition 20.2, and SFR Definition 20.3 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 20.3, 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. SPI1 is dedicated to the radio and must always be enabled. 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 20.3 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 20.3 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with no Port pins skipped (P0SKIP, P1SKIP, P2SKIP =  
0x00); Figure 20.4 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with the External Oscillator pins (XTAL1 and  
XTAL2) skipped (P0SKIP = 0x0C).  
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 20.3 and Figure 20.4.

20.4. Port Match  
Port match functionality allows system events to be triggered by a logic value change on P0 or P1. A soft-  
ware 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 soft-  
ware 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.  
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 “11. Interrupt Handler” on page 137 and Section “13. Power Management” on page 160 for  
more details on interrupt and wake-up sources.

20.5. 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 42 for the difference in out-  
put drive strength between the two modes.

21. Controller Interface  
21.1. Serial Interface (SPI1)  
The radio in the Si106x/8x communicates with the MCU over an internal 4-wire serial peripheral interface  
(SPI): SCLK, SDI, SDO, and nSEL. Table 21.1 shows the mapping between the MCU GPIO and the radio  
pins. The SPI interface is designed to operate at a maximum of 10 MHz. The SPI timing parameters are  
demonstrated in Table 21.2. The host MCU writes data over the SDI pin and can read data from the device  
on the SDO output pin. Figure 21.1 demonstrates an SPI write command. The nSEL pin should go low to  
initiate the SPI command. The first byte of SDI data will be one of the firmware commands followed by n  
bytes of parameter data which will be variable depending on the specific command. The rising edges of  
SCLK should be aligned with the center of the SDI data.

Figure 21.1. SPI Write Command  
The Si106x/8x transceiver contains an internal MCU which controls all the internal functions of the radio.  
For SPI read commands a typical MCU flow of checking clear-to-send (CTS) is used to make sure the  
internal MCU has executed the command and prepared the data to be output over the SDO pin.  
Figure 21.1 demonstrates the general flow of an SPI read command. Once the CTS value reads 0xFF then  
the read data is ready to be clocked out to the host MCU. The typical time for a valid 0xFF CTS reading is  
20 µs. Figure 21.3 demonstrates the remaining read cycle after CTS is set to 0xFF. The internal MCU will  
clock out the SDO data on the negative edge so the host MCU should process the SDO data on the rising  
edge of SCLK.

21.2. Fast Response Registers (Si1060/61/62/63 and Si1080/81/82/83)  
The fast response registers are registers that can be read immediately without the requirement to monitor  
and check CTS. There are four fast response registers that can be programmed for a specific function. The  
fast response registers can be read through API commands, 0x50 for Fast Response A, 0x51 for Fast  
Response B, 0x53 for Fast Response C, and 0x57 for Fast Response D. The fast response registers can  
be configured by the "FRR_CTL_X_MODE" properties.  
The fast response registers may be read in a burst fashion. After the initial 16 clock cycles, each additional  
eight clock cycles will clock out the contents of the next fast response register in a circular fashion. The  
value of the FRRs will not be updated unless NSEL is toggled.  
21.3. Operating Modes and Timing  
The primary states of the Si106x transceiver are shown in Figure 21.4. The shutdown state completely  
shuts down the radio to minimize current consumption. Standby/Sleep, SPI Active, Ready, TX Tune, and  
RX tune are available to optimize the current consumption and response time to RX/TX for a given applica-  
tion. API commands START_RX, START_TX, and CHANGE_STATE control the operating state with the  
exception of shutdown which is controlled by SDN, pin 1. Figure 21.4 shows each of the operating modes  
with the time required to reach either RX or TX mode as well as the current consumption of each mode.  
The times in Table 21.5 are measured from the rising edge of nSEL until the device is in the desired state.  
Note that these times are indicative of state transition timing but are not guaranteed and should only be  
used as a reference data point. An automatic sequencer will put the device into RX or TX from any state. It  
is not necessary to manually step through the states. To simplify the diagram it is not shown but any of the  
lower power states can be returned to automatically after RX or TX.

depends on the duty cycle of the application or how often the part is in either RX or TX state. In most appli-  
cations the utilization of the standby state will be most advantageous for battery life but for very low duty  
cycle applications shutdown will have an advantage. For the fastest timing the next state can be selected  
in the START_RX or START_TX API commands to minimize SPI transactions and internal MCU process-  
ing.

21.3.1. Radio Power on Reset (POR)  
A Power On Reset (POR) sequence is used to boot the device up from a fully off or shutdown state. To  
execute this process, VDD must ramp within 1ms and must remain applied to the device for at least 10 ms.  
If VDD is removed, then it must stay below 0.15 V for at least 10 ms before being applied again. See  
Figure 21.5 and Table 21.5 for details.

21.3.2. Shutdown State  
The shutdown state is the lowest current consumption state of the device with nominally less than 30 nA of  
current consumption. The shutdown state may be entered by driving the SDN pin (Pin 1) high. The SDN  
pin should be held low in all states except the shutdown state. In the shutdown state, the contents of the  
registers are lost and there is no SPI access. When coming out of the shutdown state a power on reset  
(POR) will be initiated along with the internal calibrations. After the POR the POWER_UP command is  
required to initialize the radio. The SDN pin needs to be held high for at least 10us before driving low again  
so that internal capacitors can discharge. Not holding the SDN high for this period of time may cause the  
POR to be missed and the device to boot up incorrectly. If POR timing and voltage requirements cannot be  
met, it is highly recommended that SDN be controlled using the host processor rather than tying it to GND  
on the board.  
21.3.3. Standby State  
Standby state has the lowest current consumption with the exception of shutdown but has much faster  
response time to RX or TX mode. In most cases standby should be used as the low power state. In this  
state the register values are maintained with all other blocks disabled. The SPI is accessible during this  
mode but any SPI event, including FIFO R/W, will enable an internal boot oscillator and automatically  
move the part to SPI active state. After an SPI event the host will need to re-command the device back to  
standby through the "Change State" API command to achieve the 50 nA current consumption. If an inter-  
rupt has occurred (i.e., the nIRQ pin = 0) the interrupt registers must be read to achieve the minimum cur-  
rent consumption of this mode.  
21.3.4. Sleep State (Si1060/61/62/63 and Si1080/81/82/83)  
Sleep state is the same as standby state but the wake-up-timer and a 32 kHz clock source are enabled.  
The source of the 32 kHz clock can either be an internal 32 kHz RC oscillator which is periodically cali-  
brated or a 32 kHz oscillator using an external XTAL.The SPI is accessible during this mode but an SPI  
event will enable an internal boot oscillator and automatically move the part to SPI active mode. After an  
SPI event the host will need to re-command the device back to sleep. If an interrupt has occurred (i.e., the  
nIRQ pin = 0) the interrupt registers must be read to achieve the minimum current consumption of this  
mode.  
21.3.5. SPI Active State  
In SPI active state the SPI and a boot up oscillator are enabled. After SPI transactions during either  
standby or sleep the device will not automatically return to these states. A "Change State" API command  
will be required to return to either the standby or sleep modes.  
21.3.6. Ready State  
Ready state is designed to give a fast transition time to TX or RX state with reasonable current consump-  
tion. In this mode the Crystal oscillator remains enabled reducing the time required to switch to TX or RX  
mode by eliminating the crystal start-up time.  
21.3.7. TX State  
The TX state may be entered from any of the state with the "Start TX" or "Change State" API commands. A  
built-in sequencer takes care of all the actions required to transition between states from enabling the crys-  
tal oscillator to ramping up the PA. The following sequence of events will occur automatically when going  
from standby to TX state.  
1. Enable internal LDOs.  
2. Start up crystal oscillator and wait until ready (controlled by an internal timer).  
3. Enable PLL.  
4. Calibrate VCO/PLL.  
5. Wait until PLL settles to required transmit frequency (controlled by an internal timer).  
Rev. 1.0  
244  
Si106x/108x  
6. Activate power amplifier and wait until power ramping is completed (controlled by an internal timer).  
7. Transmit packet.  
Steps in this sequence may be eliminated depending on which state the device is configured to prior to  
commanding to TX. By default, the VCO and PLL are calibrated every time the PLL is enabled. When the  
START_TX API command is utilized the next state may be defined to ensure optimal timing and turn-  
around.  
Figure 21.6 shows an example of the commands and timing for the START_TX command. CTS will go  
high as soon as the sequencer puts the part into TX state. As the sequencer is stepping through the events  
listed above, CTS will be low and no new commands or property changes are allowed. If the Fast  
Response (FRR) or nIRQ is used to monitor the current state there will be slight delay caused by the inter-  
nal hardware from when the event actually occurs to when the transition occurs on the FRR or nIRQ. The  
time from entering TX state to when the FRR will update is 5 µs and the time to when the nIRQ will transi-  
tion is 13 µs. If a GPIO is programmed for TX state or used as control for a transmit/receive switch (TR  
switch) there is no delay.

21.4. Application Programming Interface (API)  
An application programming interface (API), which the host MCU will communicate with, is embedded  
inside the device. The API is divided into two sections, commands and properties. The commands are  
used to control the device and retrieve its status. The properties are general configurations which will  
change infrequently. The API descriptions for the Si1060/61/62/63 and Si1080/81/82/83 can be found in  
the EZRadioPRO API documentation. The API descriptions for the Si1064/65 and Si1084/85 can be found  
in the EZRadio API documentation.  
The radio in the Si106x/Si108x is capable of generating an interrupt signal when certain events occur. The  
radio notifies the microcontroller that an interrupt event has occurred by setting the nIRQ output pin LOW  
= 0. This interrupt signal will be generated when any one (or more) of the interrupt events (corresponding  
to the Interrupt Status bits) occur. The nIRQ pin will remain low until the microcontroller reads the Interrupt  
Status Registers. The nIRQ output signal will then be reset until the next change in status is detected.  
The interrupts sources are grouped into three groups: packet handler, device status, and modem. The indi-  
vidual interrupts in these groups can be enabled/disabled in the interrupt property registers, 0101, 0102,  
and 0103. An interrupt must be enabled for it to trigger an event on the nIRQ pin. The interrupt group must  
be enabled as well as the individual interrupts in API property 0100.

Once an interrupt event occurs and the nIRQ pin is low there are two ways to read and clear the interrupts.  
All of the interrupts may be read and cleared in the "GET_INT_STATUS" API command. By default all  
interrupts will be cleared once read. If only specific interrupts want to be read in the fastest possible  
method the individual interrupt groups (Packet Handler, Chip Status, Modem) may be read and cleared by  
the "GET_MODEM_STATUS", "GET_PH_STATUS" (packet handler), and "GET_CHIP_STATUS" API  
commands.  
The instantaneous status of a specific function maybe read if the specific interrupt is enabled or disabled.  
The status results are provided after the interrupts and can be read with the same commands as the inter-  
rupts. The status bits will give the current state of the function whether the interrupt is enabled or not.  
The fast response registers can also give information about the interrupt groups but reading the fast  
response registers will not clear the interrupt and reset the nIRQ pin.

21.5. GPIO  
Four general purpose IO pins are available to utilize in the application. The GPIO are configured by the  
GPIO_PIN_CFG command in address 13h. For a complete list of the GPIO options please see the API  
guide. GPIO pins 0 and 1 should be used for active signals such as data or clock. GPIO pins 2 and 3 have  
more susceptibility to generating spurious in the synthesizer than pins 0 and 1. The drive strength of the  
GPIOs can be adjusted with the GEN_CONFIG parameter in the GPIO_PIN_CFG command. By default  
the drive strength is set to minimum. The default configuration for the GPIOs and the state during SDN is  
shown below in Table 21.6.The state of the IO during shutdown is also shown in Table 21.6. As indicated  
previously in Table 4.20 on page 75, GPIO 0 has lower drive strength than the other GPIOs.

22. Radio 142–1050 MHz Transceiver Functional Description  
The Si106x/8x transceivers are high-performance, low-current, wireless MCUs that cover the sub-GHz  
bands. The wide operating voltage range of 1.8-3.6 V and low current consumption make the Si106x/8x an  
ideal solution for battery-powered applications. The Si106x operates as a time division duplexing (TDD)  
transceiver where the device alternately transmits and receives data packets. The device uses a single-  
conversion mixer to downconvert the 2/4-level FSK/GFSK or OOK modulated receive signal to a low IF fre-  
quency. Following a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) the signal is converted to the digital domain by a  
high performance ADC allowing filtering, demodulation, slicing, and packet handling to be performed in the  
built-in DSP increasing the receiver's performance and flexibility versus analog-based architectures. The  
demodulated signal is output to the system MCU through a programmable GPIO or via the standard SPI  
bus by reading the 64-byte RX FIFO.  
A single high precision local oscillator (LO) is used for both transmit and receive modes since the transmit-  
ter and receiver do not operate at the same time. The LO is generated by an integrated VCO and Frac-  
tional-N PLL synthesizer. The synthesizer is designed to support configurable data rates. The  
Si1060/61/62/63 and Si1080/81/82/83 operate in the frequency bands of 142–175, 283–350, 420–525,  
and 850–1050 MHz with a maximum frequency accuracy step size of 28.6 Hz and data rates from 100 bps  
to 1 Mbps. The Si1064/65/Si1084/85 operates in the frequency bands of 283–350, 425–525 and 850–  
960 MHz with a maximum frequency accuracy step size of 114.4 Hz, and a data rate from 1 to 500 kbps.  
The Si1060/61/80/81 contains a power amplifier (PA) that supports output power up to +20 dBm with very  
high efficiency, consuming only 70 mA at 169 MHz and 85 mA at 915 MHz. The integrated +20 dBm power  
amplifier can also be used to compensate for the reduced performance of a lower cost, lower performance  
antenna or antenna with size constraints due to a small form factor. Competing solutions require expensive  
external PAs to achieve comparable performance. The Si1062/63/64/65/Si1082/83/84/85 is designed to  
support single cell operation with current consumption below 18 mA for +10 dBm output power. Two match  
topologies are available for the Si1062-65/Si1082-85, class-E and switched-current. Class-E matching pro-  
vides optimal current consumption, while switched-current matching demonstrates the best performance  
over varying battery voltage and temperature with slightly higher current consumption. The PA is single-  
ended to allow for easy antenna matching and low BOM cost. The PA incorporates automatic ramp-up and  
ramp-down control to reduce unwanted spectral spreading. The Si106x/8x family supports frequency hop-  
ping, TX/RX switch control, and antenna diversity switch control to extend the link range and improve per-  
formance. Built-in antenna diversity and support for frequency hopping can be used to further extend  
range and enhance performance. Antenna diversity is completely integrated into the Si1060–63, Si1080-  
83 and can improve the system link budget by 8–10 dB, resulting in substantial range increases under  
adverse environmental conditions. A highly configurable packet handler allows for autonomous encod-  
ing/decoding of nearly any packet structure. Additional system features, such as an automatic wake-up  
timer, 64 byte TX/RX FIFOs, and preamble detection, reduce overall current consumption and allows for  
the use of lower-cost system MCUs. The Si106x/8x is designed to work with a crystal, and a few passive  
components to create a very low-cost system.

23. Modulation and Hardware Configuration Options  
The Si106x/8x supports different modulation options and can be used in various configurations to tailor the  
device to any specific application or legacy system for drop in replacement. The modulation and configura-  
tion options are set in the API. For more information on the API commands, refer to the EZRadioPRO API  
document for the Si1060-Si1063/Si1080-Si1083 and the EZRadio API Guide for the Si1064/65/84/85.  
23.1. Modulation Types  
The Si106x/8x supports up to five different modulation options: On-off keying (OOK), Gaussian frequency  
shift keying (GFSK), frequency-shift keying (FSK), as well as four-level GFSK (4GFSK), and four-level FSK  
(4FSK) for the Si1060–Si1063 devices. Minimum shift keying (MSK) can also be created by using GFSK  
settings. GFSK is the recommended modulation type as it provides the best performance and cleanest  
modulation spectrum. The modulation type is set by the API. A continuous-wave (CW) carrier may also be  
selected for RF evaluation purposes. The modulation source may also be selected to be a pseudo-random  
source for evaluation purposes.  
23.2. Hardware Configuration Options  
There are different receive demodulator options to optimize the performance and mutually-exclusive  
options for how the RX/TX data is transferred from the host MCU to the RF device.  
23.2.1. Receive Demodulator Options  
There are multiple demodulators integrated into the device to optimize the performance for different appli-  
cations, modulation formats, and packet structures. The calculator built into WDS will choose the optimal  
demodulator based on the input criteria.  
23.2.1.1. Synchronous Demodulator  
The synchronous demodulator's internal frequency error estimator acquires the frequency error based on  
a 101010 preamble structure. The bit clock recovery circuit locks to the incoming data stream within four  
transactions of a "10" or "01" bit stream. The synchronous demodulator gives optimal performance for 2- or  
4-level FSK or GFSK modulation that has a modulation index less than 2.  
23.2.1.2. Asynchronous Demodulator  
The asynchronous demodulator should be used OOK modulation and for FSK/GFSK/4GFSK under one or  
more of the following conditions:  
Modulation index > 2  
Non-standard preamble (not 1010101... pattern)  
When the modulation index exceeds 2, the asynchronous demodulator has better sensitivity compared to  
the synchronous demodulator. An internal deglitch circuit provides a glitch-free data output and a data  
clock signal to simplify the interface to the host. There is no requirement to perform deglitching in the host  
MCU. The asynchronous demodulator will typically be utilized for legacy systems and will have many per-  
formance benefits over devices used in legacy designs. Unlike the Si100x/Si101x solution for non-stan-  
dard packet structures, there is no requirement to perform deglitching on the data in the host MCU. Glitch-  
free data is output from Si106x/8x devices, and a sample clock for the asynchronous data can also be sup-  
plied to the host MCU; so, oversampling or bit clock recovery is not required by the host MCU. There are  
multiple detector options in the asynchronous demodulator block, which will be selected based upon the  
options entered into the WDS calculator. The asynchronous demodulator's internal frequency error estima-  
tor is able to acquire the frequency error based on any preamble structure.

23.2.2. RX/TX Data Interface With MCU  
There are two different options for transferring the data from the RF device to the host MCU. FIFO mode  
uses the SPI interface to transfer the data, while direct mode transfers the data in real time over GPIO.  
23.2.2.1. FIFO Mode  
In FIFO mode, the transmit and receive data is stored in integrated FIFO register memory. The TX FIFO is  
accessed by writing Command 66h followed directly by the data/clk that the host wants to write into the TX  
FIFO. The RX FIFO is accessed by writing command 77h followed by the number of clock cycles of data  
the host would like to read out of the RX FIFO. The RX data will be clocked out onto the SDO pin.  
In TX mode, if the packet handler is enabled, the data bytes stored in FIFO memory are "packaged"  
together with other fields and bytes of information to construct the final transmit packet structure. These  
other potential fields include the Preamble, Sync word, Header, CRC checksum, etc. The configuration of  
the packet structure in TX mode is determined by the Automatic Packet Handler (if enabled), in conjunction  
with a variety of Packet Handler properties. If the Automatic Packet Handler is disabled, the entire desired  
packet structure should be loaded into FIFO memory; no other fields (such as Preamble or Sync word) will  
be automatically added to the bytes stored in FIFO memory. For further information on the configuration of  
the FIFOs for a specific application or packet size, see Section “25. Data Handling and Packet Handler” on  
page 262. In RX mode, only the bytes of the received packet structure that are considered to be "data  
bytes" are stored in FIFO memory. Which bytes of the received packet are considered "data bytes" is  
determined by the Automatic Packet Handler (if enabled) in conjunction with the Packet Handler configura-  
tion. If the Automatic Packet Handler is disabled, all bytes following the Sync word are considered data  
bytes and are stored in FIFO memory. Thus, even if Automatic Packet Handling operation is not desired,  
the preamble detection threshold and Sync word still need to be programmed so that the RX Modem  
knows when to start filling data into the FIFO. When the FIFO is being used in RX mode, all of the received  
data may still be observed directly (in realtime) by properly programming a GPIO pin as the RXDATA out-  
put pin; this can be quite useful during application development. When in FIFO mode, the chip will auto-  
matically exit the TX or RX State when either the PACKET_SENT or PACKET_RX interrupt occurs. The  
chip will return to the IDLE state programmed in the API.  
23.2.2.2. Direct Mode (Si1060–Si1063, Si1080-Si1083)  
For legacy systems that perform packet handling within the host MCU or other baseband chip, it may not  
be desirable to use the FIFO. For this scenario, a Direct mode is provided, which bypasses the FIFOs  
entirely. In TX Direct mode, the TX modulation data is applied to an input pin of the chip and processed in  
"real time" (i.e., not stored in a register for transmission at a later time). Any of the GPIOs may be config-  
ured for use as the TX Data input function. Furthermore, an additional pin may be required for a TX Clock  
output function if GFSK modulation is desired (only the TX Data input pin is required for FSK). To achieve  
direct mode, the GPIO must be configured in the API.  
23.3. Preamble Length  
The preamble length requirement is only relevant if using the synchronous demodulator. If the asynchro-  
nous demodulator is being used, then there is no requirement for a conventional 101010 pattern.  
The preamble detection threshold determines the number of valid preamble bits the radio must receive to  
qualify a valid preamble. The preamble threshold should be adjusted depending on the nature of the appli-  
cation. The required preamble length threshold depends on when receive mode is entered in relation to the  
start of the transmitted packet and the length of the transmit preamble. With a shorter than recommended  
preamble detection threshold, the probability of false detection is directly related to how long the receiver  
operates on noise before the transmit preamble is received. False detection on noise may cause the actual  
packet to be missed. The preamble detection threshold may be adjusted in the modem calculator by mod-  
ifying the "PM detection threshold" in the "RX parameters tab" in the radio control panel. For most applica-  
tions with a preamble length longer than 32 bits, the default value of 20 is recommended for the preamble  
detection threshold. A shorter Preamble Detection Threshold may be chosen if occasional false detections  
Rev. 1.0  
250  
Si106x/108x  
may be tolerated. When antenna diversity is enabled, a 20-bit preamble detection threshold is recom-  
mended. When the receiver is synchronously enabled just before the start of the packet, a shorter pream-  
ble detection threshold may be used. Table 23.1 demonstrates the recommended preamble detection  
threshold and preamble length for various modes.

Notes:  
1. The recommended preamble length and preamble detection thresholds listed above are to achieve 0% PER.  
They may be shortened when occasional packet errors are tolerable.  
2. All recommended preamble lengths and detection thresholds include AGC and BCR settling times.  
3. “Standard” preamble type should be set for an alternating data sequence at the max data rate (…10101010…)  
4. “Non-standard” preamble type can be set for any preamble type including …10101010...  
5. When preamble detection threshold = 0, sync word needs to be 3 Bytes to avoid false syncs. When only a 2  
Byte sync word is available the sync word detection can be extended by including the last preamble Byte into  
the RX sync word setting.

24. Internal Functional Blocks  
The following sections provide an overview to the key internal blocks and features.  
24.1. RX Chain  
The internal low-noise amplifier (LNA) is designed to be a wide-band LNA that can be matched with three  
external discrete components to cover any common range of frequencies in the sub-GHz band. The LNA  
has extremely low noise to suppress the noise of the following stages and achieve optimal sensitivity; so,  
no external gain or front-end modules are necessary. The LNA has gain control, which is controlled by the  
internal automatic gain control (AGC) algorithm. The LNA is followed by an I-Q mixer, filter, programmable  
gain amplifier (PGA), and ADC. The I-Q mixers downconvert the signal to an intermediate frequency. The  
PGA then boosts the gain to be within dynamic range of the ADC. The ADC rejects out-of-band blockers  
and converts the signal to the digital domain where filtering, demodulation, and processing is performed.  
Peak detectors are integrated at the output of the LNA and PGA for use in the AGC algorithm.  
The RX and TX pins maybe directly tied externally for output powers less than +17 dBm, see the direct-tie  
reference designs on the Silicon Labs web site for more details.  
24.1.1. RX Chain Architecture  
It is possible to operate the RX chain in different architecture configurations: fixed-IF, zero-IF, scaled-IF,  
and modulated IF (Si1064/65 and Si1084/85 support fixed-IF only). There are trade-offs between the archi-  
tectures in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and image rejection. Fixed-IF is the default configuration and is  
recommended for most applications. With 35 dB native image rejection and autonomous image calibration  
to achieve 55 dB, the fixed-IF solution gives the best performance for most applications. Fixed-IF obtains  
the best sensitivity, but it has the effect of degraded selectivity at the image frequency. An autonomous  
image rejection calibration is included in Si1060-Si1063/Si1080-Si1083 devices and described in more  
detail in Section “24.2.3. Image Rejection and Calibration (Si1060–Si1063, Si1080-S1083)” on page 254.  
For fixed-IF and zero-IF, the sensitivity is degraded for data rates less than 100 kbps or bandwidths less  
than 200 kHz. The reduction in sensitivity is caused by increased flicker noise as dc is approached. The  
benefit of zero-IF is that there is no image frequency; so, there is no degradation in the selectivity curve,  
but it has the worst sensitivity. Scaled-IF is a trade-off between fixed-IF and zero-IF. In the scaled-IF archi-  
tecture, the image frequency is placed or hidden in the adjacent channel where it only slightly degrades the  
typical adjacent channel selectivity. The scaled-IF approach has better sensitivity than zero-IF but still  
some degradation in selectivity due to the image. In scaled-IF mode, the image frequency is directly pro-  
portional to the channel bandwidth selected. Figure 24.1 demonstrates the trade-off in sensitivity between  
the different architecture options.

24.2. RX Modem  
Using high-performance ADCs allows channel filtering, image rejection, and demodulation to be performed  
in the digital domain, which allows for flexibility in optimizing the device for particular applications. The dig-  
ital modem performs the following functions:  
Channel selection filter  
TX modulation  
RX demodulation  
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)  
Preamble detection  
Invalid preamble detection  
Radio signal strength indicator (RSSI)  
Automatic frequency compensation (AFC)  
Image Rejection Calibration (Si1060-Si1063, Si1080-Si1083)  
Packet handling  
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC)  
The digital channel filter and demodulator are optimized for ultra-low-power consumption and are highly  
configurable. Supported modulation types are OOK, GFSK, FSK, GMSK as well as 4FSK/4GFSK for the  
Si1060–Si1063. The channel filter can be configured to support bandwidths ranging from 850 down to  
1.1 kHz on the Si1060–Si1063/Si1080-Si1083. A large variety of data rates are supported ranging from  
100 bps up to 1 Mbps. The configurable preamble detector is used with the synchronous demodulator to  
improve the reliability of the sync-word detection. Preamble detection can be skipped using only sync  
detection, which is a valuable feature of the asynchronous demodulator when very short preambles are  
used in protocols, such as MBus. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) provides a measure of the  
signal strength received on the tuned channel. The resolution of the RSSI is 0.5 dB. This high-resolution  
RSSI enables accurate channel power measurements for clear channel assessment (CCA), carrier sense  
(CS), and listen before talk (LBT) functionality. The extensive programmability of the packet header allows  
253  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
for advanced packet filtering, which, in turn enables a mix of broadcast, group, and point-to-point commu-  
nication. A wireless communication channel can be corrupted by noise and interference, so it is important  
to know if the received data is free of errors. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is used to detect the pres-  
ence of erroneous bits in each packet. A CRC is computed and appended at the end of each transmitted  
packet and verified by the receiver to confirm that no errors have occurred. The packet handler and CRC  
can significantly reduce the load on the system microcontroller allowing for a simpler and cheaper micro-  
controller. The digital modem includes the TX modulator, which converts the TX data bits into the corre-  
sponding stream of digital modulation values to be summed with the fractional input to the sigma-delta  
modulator. This modulation approach results in highly accurate resolution of the frequency deviation. A  
Gaussian filter is implemented to support GFSK and 4GFSK, considerably reducing the energy in adjacent  
channels. The default bandwidth-time product (BT) is 0.5 for all programmed data rates, but it may be  
adjusted to other values.  
24.2.1. Automatic Gain Control (AGC)  
The AGC algorithm is implemented digitally using an advanced control loop optimized for fast response  
time. The AGC occurs within a single bit or in less than 2 µs. Peak detectors at the output of the LNA and  
PGA allow for optimal adjustment of the LNA gain and PGA gain to optimize IM3, selectivity, and sensitivity  
performance.  
24.2.2. Auto Frequency Correction (AFC)  
Frequency mistuning caused by crystal inaccuracies can be compensated for by enabling the digital auto-  
matic frequency control (AFC) in receive mode. There are two types of integrated frequency compensa-  
tion: modem frequency compensation, and AFC by adjusting the PLL frequency. With AFC disabled, the  
modem compensation can correct for frequency offsets up to ±0.25 times the IF bandwidth. When the AFC  
is enabled, the received signal will be centered in the pass-band of the IF filter, providing optimal sensitivity  
and selectivity over a wider range of frequency offsets up to ±0.35 times the IF bandwidth. When AFC is  
enabled, the preamble length needs to be long enough to settle the AFC. As shown in Table 23.1 on  
page 251, an additional byte of preamble is typically required to settle the AFC.  
24.2.3. Image Rejection and Calibration (Si1060–Si1063, Si1080-S1083)  
Since the receiver utilizes a low-IF architecture, the selectivity will be affected by the image frequency. The  
IF frequency is 468.75 kHz (Fxtal/64), and the image frequency will be at 937.5 kHz below the RF fre-  
quency. The native image rejection of the Si106x/8x family is 35 dB. Image rejection calibration is available  
in the Si106x/8x to improve the image rejection to more than 55 dB. The calibration is initiated with the  
IRCAL API command. The calibration uses an internal signal source, so no external signal generator is  
required. The initial calibration takes 250 ms, and periodic re-calibration takes 100 ms. Re-calibration  
should be initiated when the temperature has changed more than 30 °C.  
24.2.4. Received Signal Strength Indicator  
The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) is an estimate of the signal strength in the channel to which  
the receiver is tuned. The RSSI measurement is done after the channel filter, so it is only a measurement  
of the desired or undesired in-band signal power. There are two different methods for reading the RSSI  
value and several different options for configuring the RSSI value that is returned. The fastest method for  
reading the RSSI is to configure one of the four fast response registers (FRR) to return a latched RSSI  
value. The latched RSSI value is measured once per packet and is latched at a configurable amount of  
time after RX mode is entered. The fast response registers can be read in 16 SPI clock cycles with no  
requirement to wait for CTS. The RSSI value may also be read out of the GET_MODEM_STATUS com-  
mand. In this command, both the current RSSI and the latched RSSI are available. The current RSSI value  
represents the signal strength at the instant in time the GET_MODEM_STATUS command is processed  
and may be read multiple times per packet. Reading the RSSI in the GET_MODEM_STATUS command  
takes longer than reading the RSSI out of the fast response register. After the initial command, it will take  
33 µs for CTS to be set and then the four or five bytes of SPI clock cycles to read out the respective current  
or latched RSSI values.  
Rev. 1.0  
254  
Si106x/108x  
The RSSI configuration options are set in the MODEM_RSSI_CONTROL API property. The latched RSSI  
value may be latched and stored based on the following events: preamble detection, sync detection, or a  
configurable number of bit times measured after the start of RX mode (minimum of 4 bit times). The  
requirement for four bit times is determined by the processing delay and settling through the modem and  
digital channel filter. In MODEM_RSSI_CONTROL, the RSSI may be defined to update every bit period or  
to be averaged and updated every four bit periods. If RSSI averaging over four bits is enabled, the latched  
RSSI value will be delayed to a minimum of 7 bits after the start of RX mode to allow for the averaging. The  
latched RSSI values are cleared when entering RX mode so they may be read after the packet is received  
or after dropping back to standby mode. If the RSSI value has been cleared by the start of RX but not  
latched yet, a value of 0 will be returned if it is attempted to be read.  
The RSSI value read by the API could be translated to dBm by the following linear equation:  
RSSI (in dBm) = (RSSI_value /2) – RSSIcal  
RSSIcal in the above formula depends on the matching network, modem settings, and external LNA gain  
(if present). The RSSIcal value can be obtained by a simple calibration with a signal generator connected  
at the antenna input. Without external LNA, the value of RSSIcal is around 130 ±30.  
During packet reception, it may be useful to detect whether a secondary interfering signal (desired or  
undesired) arrives. To detect this event, a feature for RSSI jump detection is available. If the RSSI level  
changes by a programmable amount during the reception of a packet, an interrupt or GPIO can be config-  
ured to notify the host. The level of RSSI increase or decrease (jump) is programmable through the  
MODEM_RSSI_JUMP_THRESH API property. If an RSSI jump is detected, the modem may be pro-  
grammed to automatically reset so that it may lock onto the new stronger signal. The chip may also be con-  
figured to automatically reset the receiver upon jump detection in order to acquire the new signal. The  
configuration and options for RSSI jump detection are programmed in the MODEM_RSSI_CONTROL2  
API property. By default, RSSI jump detection is not enabled.  
The RSSI values and curves may be offset by the MODEM_RSSI_COMP API property. The default value  
of 7'h32 corresponds to no RSSI offset. Setting a value less than 7'h32 corresponds to a negative offset,  
and a value higher than 7'h32 corresponds to a positive offset. The offset value is in 1 dB steps. For exam-  
ple, setting a value of 7'h3A corresponds to a positive offset of 8 dB.  
Clear channel assessment (CCA) or RSSI threshold detection is also available. An RSSI threshold may be  
set in the MODEM_RSSI_THRESH API property. If the RSSI value is above this threshold, an interrupt or  
GPIO may notify the host. Both the latched version and asynchronous version of this threshold are avail-  
able on any of the GPIOs. Automatic fast hopping based on RSSI is available. See Section  
“24.3.1.2. Automatic RX Hopping and Hop Table” on page 256.  
24.3. Synthesizer  
An integrated Sigma Delta () Fractional-N PLL synthesizer capable of operating over the bands from  
142-175, 283-350, 420-525, and 850-1050 MHz for the Si1060-Si1063/Si1080-Si1083. Using a synthe-  
sizer has many advantages; it provides flexibility in choosing data rate, deviation, channel frequency, and  
channel spacing. The transmit modulation is applied directly to the loop in the digital domain through the  
fractional divider, which results in very precise accuracy and control over the transmit deviation. The fre-  
quency resolution in the 850-1050 MHz band is 28.6 Hz with more resolution in the other bands. The nom-  
inal reference frequency to the PLL is 30 MHz, but any XTAL frequency from 25 to 32 MHz may be used.  
The modem configuration calculator in WDS will automatically account for the XTAL frequency being used.  
The PLL utilizes a differential LC VCO with integrated on-chip inductors. The output of the VCO is followed  
by a configurable divider, which will divide the signal down to the desired output frequency band.

24.3.1. Synthesizer Frequency Control  
The frequency is set by changing the integer and fractional settings to the synthesizer. The WDS calculator  
will automatically provide these settings, but the synthesizer equation is shown below for convenience.  
The APIs for setting the frequency are FREQ_CONTROL_INTE, FREQ_CONTROL_FRAC2, FREQ_-  
CONTROL_FRAC1, and FREQ_CONTROL_FRAC0.  
Note: The fc_frac/219 value in the above formula has to be a number between 1 and 2.

24.3.1.1. EZ Frequency Programming  
In applications that utilize multiple frequencies or channels, it may not be desirable to write four API regis-  
ters each time a frequency change is required. EZ frequency programming is provided so that only a single  
register write (channel number) is required to change frequency. A base frequency is first set by first pro-  
gramming the integer and fractional components of the synthesizer. This base frequency will correspond to  
channel 0. Next, a channel step size is programmed into the API registers. The resulting frequency will be  
RF Frequency = Base Frequency + Channel ´ Step Size:  
The second argument of the START_RX or START_TX is CHANNEL, which sets the channel number for  
EZ frequency programming. For example, if the channel step size is set to 1 MHz, the base frequency is  
set to 900 MHz with the INTE and FRAC API registers, and a CHANNEL number of 5 is programmed  
during the START_TX command, the resulting frequency will be 905 MHz. If no CHANNEL argument is  
written as part of the START_RX/TX command, it will default to the previous value. The initial value of  
CHANNEL is 0; so, if no CHANNEL value is written, it will result in the programmed base frequency.  
24.3.1.2. Automatic RX Hopping and Hop Table  
The transceiver supports an automatic hopping feature that can be fully configured through the API. This is  
intended for RX hopping where the device has to hop from channel to channel and look for packets. Once  
the device is put into the RX state, it automatically starts hopping through the hop table if the feature is  
enabled.  
The hop table can hold up to 64 entries and is maintained in firmware. Each entry is a channel number; so,  
the hop table can hold up to 64 channels. The number of entries in the table is set by RX HOP TABLE_-  
SIZE API. The specified channels correspond to the EZ frequency programming method for programming  
the frequency. The receiver starts at the base channel and hops in sequence from the top of the hop table  
to the bottom. The table will wrap around to the base channel once it reaches the end of the table. An entry  
of 0xFF in the table indicates that the entry should be skipped. The device will hop to the next non 0xFF  
entry.  
Rev. 1.0  
256  
Si106x/108x  
There are three conditions that can be used to determine whether to continue hopping or to stay on a par-  
ticular channel. These conditions are:  
RSSI threshold  
Preamble timeout (invalid preamble pattern)  
Sync word timeout (invalid or no sync word detected after preamble)  
These conditions can be used individually, or they can be enabled all together by configuring the  
RX_HOP_CONTROL API. However, the firmware will make a decision on whether or not to hop based on  
the first condition that is met.  
The RSSI that is monitored is the current RSSI value. This is compared to the threshold, and, if it is above  
the threshold value, it will stay on the channel. If the RSSI is below the threshold, it will continue hopping.  
There is no averaging of RSSI done during the automatic hopping from channel to channel. Since the pre-  
amble timeout and the sync word timeout are features that require packet handling, the RSSI threshold is  
the only condition that can be used if the user is in "direct" or "RAW" mode where packet handling features  
are not used.  
Note that the RSSI threshold is not an absolute RSSI value; instead, it is a relative value and should be  
verified on the bench to find an optimal threshold for the application.  
The turnaround time from RX to RX on a different channel using this method is 115 µs. The time spent in  
receive mode will be determined by the configuration of the hop conditions. Manual RX hopping will have  
the fastest turn-around time but will require more overhead and management by the host MCU.  
The following are example steps for using Auto Hop:  
1. Set the base frequency (inte + frac) and channel step size.  
2. Define the number of entries in the hop table (RX_HOP_TABLE_SIZE).  
3. Write the channels to the hop table (RX_HOP_TABLE_ENTRY_n)  
4. Configure the hop condition and enable auto hopping- RSSI, preamble, or sync  
(RX_HOP_CONTROL).  
5. Set preamble and sync parameters if enabled.  
6. Program the RSSI threshold property in the modem using "MODEM_RSSI_THRESH".  
7. Set the preamble threshold using "PREAMBLE_CONFIG_STD_1".  
8. Program the preamble timeout property using "PREAMBLE_CONFIG_STD_2".  
9. Set the sync detection parameters if enabled.  
10.If needed, use "GPIO_PIN_CFG" to configure a GPIO to toggle on hop and hop table wrap.  
11.Use the "START_RX" API with channel number set to the first valid entry in the hop table (i.e., the first  
non 0xFF entry).  
12.Device should now be in auto hop mode.

24.3.1.3. Manual RX Hopping  
The RX_HOP command provides the fastest method for hopping from RX to RX but it requires more over-  
head and management by the host MCU. Using the RX_HOP command, the turn-around time is 75 µs.  
The timing is faster with this method than Start_RX or RX hopping because one of the calculations  
required for the synthesizer calibrations is offloaded to the host and must be calculated/stored by the host,  
VCO_CNT0. For information about using fast manual hopping, contact customer support.  
24.4. Transmitter (TX)  
The Si1060/Si1061/Si1080/Si1081 contains an integrated +20 dBm transmitter or power amplifier that is  
capable of transmitting from –20 to +20 dBm. The output power steps are less than 0.25 dB within 6 dB of  
max power but become larger and more non-linear close to minimum output power. The PA is designed to  
provide the highest efficiency and lowest current consumption possible. The Si1062–Si1065/Si1082-  
Si1085 is designed to supply +10 dBm output power for less than 20 mA for applications that require oper-  
ation from a single coin cell battery. The Si1062-Si1065/Si1082-Si1085 can also operate with either class-  
E or switched current matching and output up to +13 dBm TX power. All PA options are single-ended to  
allow for easy antenna matching and low BOM cost. Automatic ramp-up and ramp-down is performed to  
reduce unwanted spectral spreading.  
The Si1060–Si1063/Si1080-Si1083 TXRAMP pin is disabled by default to save current in cases where on-  
chip PA will be able to drive the antenna.  
In cases where on-chip PA will drive the external PA, and the external PA needs a ramping signal,  
TXRAMP is the signal to use.  
TXRAMP will start to ramp up, and ramp down at the same time as the internal on-chip PA ramps up/down.  
The ramping speed is programmed by TC[3:0] in the PA_RAMP_EX API property, which has the following  
characteristics:

The ramping profile is close to a linear ramping profile with smoothed out corner when approaching Vhi  
and Vlo. The TXRAMP pin can source up to 1 mA without voltage drooping.

Si106x/108x  
The TXRAMP pin's sinking capability is equivalent to a 10 kpull-down resistor.  
Vhi = 3 V when Vdd > 3.3 V. When Vdd < 3.3 V, the Vhi will be closely following the Vdd, and ramping time  
will be smaller also.  
Vlo = 0 V when no current needs to be sunk into the TXRAMP pin. If 10 µA needs to be sunk into the chip,  
Vlo will be 10 µA x 10k = 100 mV.

24.5. Crystal Oscillator  
The Si106x/8x includes an integrated crystal oscillator with a fast start-up time of less than 250 µs. The  
design is differential with the required crystal load capacitance integrated on-chip to minimize the number  
of external components. By default, all that is required off-chip is the crystal. The default crystal is 30 MHz,  
but the circuit is designed to handle any crystal from 25 to 32 MHz. If a crystal different than 30 MHz is  
used, the POWER_UP API boot command must be modified. The WDS calculator crystal frequency field  
must also be changed to reflect the frequency being used. The crystal load capacitance can be digitally  
programmed to accommodate crystals with various load capacitance requirements and to adjust the fre-  
quency of the crystal oscillator. The tuning of the crystal load capacitance is programmed through the  
GLOBAL_XO_TUNE API property. The total internal capacitance is 11 pF and is adjustable in 127 steps  
(70 fF/step). The crystal frequency adjustment can be used to compensate for crystal production toler-  
ances. The frequency offset characteristics of the capacitor bank are demonstrated in Figure 24.5.  
Figure 24.5. Capacitor Bank Frequency Offset Characteristics  
A TCXO or external signal source can easily be used in place of a conventional XTAL and should be con-  
nected to the XIN pin. The incoming clock signal is recommended to have a peak-to-peak swing in the  
range of 600 mV to 1.4 V and ac-coupled to the XIN pin. If the peak-to-peak swing of the TCXO exceeds  
1.4 V peak-to-peak, then dc coupling to the XIN pin should be used. The maximum allowed swing on XIN  
is 1.8 V peak-to-peak.  
The XO capacitor bank should be set to 0 whenever an external drive is used on the XIN pin. In addition,  
the POWER_UP command should be invoked with the TCXO option whenever external drive is used.

25. Data Handling and Packet Handler  
25.1. RX and TX FIFOs  
Two 64-byte FIFOs are integrated into the Si106x/8x, one for RX and one for TX, as shown in Figure 25.1.  
Writing to command Register 66h loads data into the TX FIFO, and reading from command Register 77h  
reads data from the RX FIFO. The TX FIFO has a threshold for when the FIFO is almost empty, which is  
set by the "TX_FIFO_EMPTY" property. An interrupt event occurs when the data in the TX FIFO reaches  
the almost empty threshold. If more data is not loaded into the FIFO, the chip automatically exits the TX  
state after the PACKET_SENT interrupt occurs. The RX FIFO has one programmable threshold, which is  
programmed by setting the "RX_FIFO_FULL" property. When the incoming RX data crosses the Almost  
Full Threshold, an interrupt will be generated to the microcontroller via the nIRQ pin. The microcontroller  
will then need to read the data from the RX FIFO. The RX Almost Full Threshold indication implies that the  
host can read at least the threshold number of bytes from the RX FIFO at that time. Both the TX and RX  
FIFOs may be cleared or reset with the "FIFO_RESET" command.

25.2. Packet Handler  
When using the FIFOs, automatic packet handling may be enabled for TX mode, RX mode, or both. The  
usual fields for network communication, such as preamble, synchronization word, headers, packet length,  
and CRC, can be configured to be automatically added to the data payload. The fields needed for packet  
generation normally change infrequently and can therefore be stored in registers. Automatically adding  
these fields to the data payload in TX mode and automatically checking them in RX mode greatly reduces  
the amount of communication between the microcontroller and Si106x. It also greatly reduces the required  
computational power of the microcontroller. The general packet structure is shown in Figure 25.2. Any or  
all of the fields can be enabled and checked by the internal packet handler.

The general functions of the packet handler include the following:  
Detection/validation of Preamble quality in RX mode (PREAMBLE_VALID signal)  
Detection of Sync word in RX mode (SYNC_OK signal)  
Detection of valid packets in RX mode (PKT_VALID signal)  
Detection of CRC errors in RX mode (CRC_ERR signal)

For details on how to configure the packet handler, see "AN626: Packet Handler Operation for Si106x  
RFICs".  
26. RX Modem Configuration  
The Si106x/8x can easily be configured for different data rate, deviation, frequency, etc. by using the WDS  
settings calculator, which generates an example file for use by the host MCU.  
27. Auxiliary Blocks  
27.1. Wake-Up Timer and 32 kHz Clock Source  
The chip contains an integrated wake-up timer that can be used to periodically wake the chip from sleep  
mode. The wake-up timer runs from either the internal 32 kHz RC Oscillator, or from an external 32 kHz  
crystal.  
The wake-up timer can be configured to run when in sleep mode. If WUT_EN = 1 in the GLOBAL_WUT_-  
CONFIG property, prior to entering sleep mode, the wake-up timer will count for a time specified defined by  
the GLOBAL_WUT_R and GLOBAL_WUT_M properties. At the expiration of this period, an interrupt will  
be generated on the nIRQ pin if this interrupt is enabled in the INT_CTL_CHIP_ENABLE property. The  
microcontroller will then need to verify the interrupt by reading the chip interrupt status either via  
GET_INT_STATUS or a fast response register. The formula for calculating the Wake-Up Period is as fol-  
lows:  
4 2WUT_R  
32768  
----------------------------  
WUT = WUT_M   
ms  
The RC oscillator frequency will change with temperature; so, a periodic recalibration is required. The RC  
oscillator is automatically calibrated during the POWER_UP command and exits from the Shutdown state.  
To enable the recalibration feature, CAL_EN must be set in the GLOBAL_WUT_CONFIG property, and the  
desired calibration period should be selected via WUT_CAL_PERIOD[2:0] in the same API property.  
During the calibration, the 32 kHz RC oscillator frequency is compared to the 30 MHz crystal and then  
adjusted accordingly. The calibration needs to start the 30 MHz crystal, which increases the average cur-  
rent consumption; so, a longer CAL_PERIOD results in a lower average current consumption. The 32 kHz  
crystal accuracy is comprised of both the crystal parameters and the internal circuit. The crystal accuracy  
can be defined as the initial error + aging + temperature drift + detuning from the internal oscillator circuit.  
The error caused by the internal circuit is typically less than 10 ppm. Refer to the API documentation for  
WUT related API commands and properties.

27.2. Low Duty Cycle Mode (Auto RX Wake-Up)  
The Low Duty Cycle (LDC) mode is implemented to automatically wake-up the receiver to check if a valid  
signal is available or to enable the transmitter to send a packet. It allows low average current polling oper-  
ation by the Si106x for which the wake-up timer (WUT) is used. RX and TX LDC operation must be set via  
the GLOBAL_WUT_CONFIG property when setting up the WUT. The LDC wake-up period is determined  
by the following formula:  
4 2WUT_R  
32768  
----------------------------  
LDC = WUT_LDC   
ms  
where the WUT_LDC parameter can be set by the GLOBAL_WUT_LDC property. The WUT period must  
be set in conjunction with the LDC mode duration; for the relevant API properties, see the wake-up timer  
(WUT) section.  
Figure 27.1. RX and TX LDC Sequences  
The basic operation of RX LDC mode is shown in Figure 27.2. The receiver periodically wakes itself up to  
work on RX_STATE during LDC mode duration. If a valid preamble is not detected, a receive error is  
detected, or an entire packet is not received, the receiver returns to the WUT state (i.e., ready or sleep) at  
the end of LDC mode duration and remains in that mode until the beginning of the next wake-up period. If  
a valid preamble or sync word is detected, the receiver delays the LDC mode duration to receive the entire  
packet. If a packet is not received during two LDC mode durations, the receiver returns to the WUT state at  
the last LDC mode duration until the beginning of the next wake-up period.  
Figure 27.2. Low Duty Cycle Mode for RX  
In TX LDC mode, the transmitter periodically wakes itself up to transmit a packet that is in the data buffer. If  
a packet has been transmitted, nIRQ goes low if the option is set in the INT_CTL_ENABLE property. After  
transmitting, the transmitter immediately returns to the WUT state and stays there until the next wake-up  
time expires.

27.3. Antenna Diversity (Si1060–Si1063, Si1080-Si1083)  
To mitigate the problem of frequency-selective fading due to multipath propagation, some transceiver  
systems use a scheme known as antenna diversity. In this scheme, two antennas are used. Each time the  
transceiver enters RX mode the receive signal strength from each antenna is evaluated. This evaluation  
process takes place during the preamble portion of the packet. The antenna with the strongest received  
signal is then used for the remainder of that RX packet. The same antenna will also be used for the next  
corresponding TX packet. This chip fully supports antenna diversity with an integrated antenna diversity  
control algorithm. The required signals needed to control an external SPDT RF switch (such as a PIN  
diode or GaAs switch) are available on the GPIOx pins. The operation of these GPIO signals is  
programmable to allow for different antenna diversity architectures and configurations. The antdiv[2:0] bits  
are found in the MODEM_ANT_DIV_CONTROL API property descriptions and enable the antenna  
diversity mode. The GPIO pins are capable of sourcing up to 5 mA of current; so, it may be used directly to  
forward-bias a PIN diode if desired. The antenna diversity algorithm will automatically toggle back and forth  
between the antennas until the packet starts to arrive. The recommended preamble length for optimal  
antenna selection is 8 bytes.

28. 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 mas-  
ters. 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 dia-  
gram of the SMBus peripheral and the associated SFRs is shown in Figure 28.1.

28.2. SMBus Configuration  
Figure 28.2 shows a typical SMBus configuration. The SMBus specification allows any recessive voltage  
between 3.0 V and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage levels. The bi-direc-  
tional SCL (serial clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage  
through a pullup resistor or similar circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-drain or  
open-collector output for both the SCL and SDA lines, so that both are pulled high (recessive state) when  
the bus is free. The maximum number of devices on the bus is limited only by the requirement that the rise  
and fall times on the bus not exceed 300 ns and 1000 ns, respectively.

28.3. 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 28.3). If the receiving device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a NACK (not acknowl-  
edge), which is a high SDA during a high SCL.  
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set  
to logic 1 to indicate a "READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.  
268  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The  
master generates the START condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the trans-  
action is a WRITE operation from the master to the slave, the master transmits the data a byte at a time  
waiting for an ACK from the slave at the end of each byte. For READ operations, the slave transmits the  
data waiting for an ACK from the master at the end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the master  
generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction and free the bus. Figure 28.3 illustrates a typical  
SMBus transaction.

28.3.1. 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.  
28.3.2. 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 “28.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout” on  
page 270). In the event that two or more devices attempt to begin a transfer at the same time, an arbitra-  
tion scheme is employed to force one master to give up the bus. The master devices continue transmitting  
until one attempts a HIGH while the other transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-drain, the bus will be  
pulled LOW. The master attempting the HIGH will detect a LOW SDA and lose the arbitration. The winning  
master continues its transmission without interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and receives the  
rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration scheme is non-destructive: one device always wins, and  
no data is lost.  
28.3.3. 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.  
Rev. 1.0  
269  
Si106x/108x  
28.3.4. SCL Low Timeout  
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore,  
the master cannot force the SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus  
protocol specifies that devices participating in a transfer must detect any clock cycle held low longer than  
25 ms as a “timeout” condition. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the communi-  
cation no later than 10 ms after detecting the timeout condition.  
When the SMBTOE bit in SMB0CF is set, Timer 3 is used to detect SCL low timeouts. Timer 3 is forced to  
reload when SCL is high, and allowed to count when SCL is low. With Timer 3 enabled and configured to  
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.  
28.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout  
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 µs, the bus  
is designated as free. When the SMBFTE bit in SMB0CF is set, the bus will be considered free if SCL and  
SDA remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (as defined by the timer configured for the  
SMBus clock source). If the SMBus is waiting to generate a Master START, the START will be generated  
following this timeout. Note that a clock source is required for free timeout detection, even in a slave-only  
implementation.  
28.4. 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 acknowledgment of address/data  
SMBus interrupts are generated for each data byte or slave address that is transferred. When hardware  
acknowledgment is disabled, the point at which the interrupt is generated depends on whether the hard-  
ware 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 acknowledgment is enabled,  
these interrupts are always generated after the ACK cycle. See Section 28.5 for more details on transmis-  
sion 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 28.4.2;  
Table 28.5 provides a quick SMB0CN decoding reference.

28.4.1. 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).

source determine the absolute minimum SCL low and high times as defined in Equation 28.1. Note that the  
selected clock source may be shared by other peripherals so long as the timer is left running at all times.  
For example, Timer 1 overflows may generate the SMBus and UART baud rates simultaneously. Timer  
configuration is covered in Section “31. Timers” on page 311.

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 28.2 shows the min-  
imum setup and hold times for the two EXTHOLD settings. Setup and hold time extensions are typically  
necessary when SYSCLK is above 10 MHz.

With the SMBTOE bit set, Timer 3 should be configured to overflow after 25 ms in order to detect SCL low  
timeouts (see Section “28.3.4. SCL Low Timeout” on page 270). 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 28.4).

28.4.2. SMB0CN Control Register  
SMB0CN is used to control the interface and to provide status information (see SFR Definition 28.2). The  
higher four bits of SMB0CN (MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO) form a status vector that can be used to  
jump to service routines. MASTER indicates whether a device is the master or slave during the current  
transfer. TXMODE indicates whether the device is transmitting or receiving data for the current byte.  
STA and STO indicate that a START and/or STOP has been detected or generated since the last SMBus  
interrupt. STA and STO are also used to generate START and STOP conditions when operating as a mas-  
ter. Writing a 1 to STA will cause the SMBus interface to enter Master Mode and generate a START when  
the bus becomes free (STA is not cleared by hardware after the START is generated). Writing a 1 to STO  
while in Master Mode will cause the interface to generate a STOP and end the current transfer after the  
next ACK cycle. If STO and STA are both set (while in Master Mode), a STOP followed by a START will be  
generated.  
The ARBLOST bit indicates that the interface has lost an arbitration. This may occur anytime the interface  
is transmitting (master or slave). A lost arbitration while operating as a slave indicates a bus error condi-  
tion. ARBLOST is cleared by hardware each time SI is cleared.  
The SI bit (SMBus Interrupt Flag) is set at the beginning and end of each transfer, after each byte frame, or  
when an arbitration is lost; see Table 28.3 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.  
28.4.2.1. 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.  
28.4.2.2. 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 28.4.3.  
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 28.3 lists all sources for hardware changes to the SMB0CN bits. Refer to Table 28.5 for SMBus sta-  
tus decoding using the SMB0CN register.  
Refer to “Limitations for Hardware Acknowledge Feature” on page 279 when using hardware ACK genera-  
tion.

28.4.3. 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 28.4.2.2.  
The registers used to define which address(es) are recognized by the hardware are the SMBus Slave  
Address register (SFR Definition 28.3) and the SMBus Slave Address Mask register (SFR Definition 28.4).  
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 28.4 shows  
some example parameter settings and the slave addresses that will be recognized by hardware under  
those conditions. Refer to “Limitations for Hardware Acknowledge Feature” on page 279 when using hard-  
ware slave address recognition.

28.4.4. Limitations for Hardware Acknowledge Feature  
In some system management bus (SMBus) configurations, the Hardware Acknowledge mechanism of the  
SMBus peripheral can cause incorrect or undesired behavior. The Hardware Acknowledge mechanism is  
enabled when the EHACK bit (SMB0ADM.0) is set to logic 1.  
The configurations to which these limitations do not apply are as follows:  
a. All SMBus configurations when Hardware Acknowledge is disabled.  
b. All single-master/single-slave SMBus configurations when Hardware Acknowledge is enabled  
and the MCU is operating as a master or slave.  
c. All multi-master/single-slave SMBus configurations when Hardware Acknowledge is enabled  
and the MCU is operating as a slave.  
d. All single-master/multi-slave SMBus configurations when Hardware Acknowledge is enabled  
and the MCU is operating as a master.  
These limitations only apply to the following configurations:  
a. All multi-slave SMBus configurations when Hardware Acknowledge is enabled and the MCU is  
operating as a slave.  
b. All multi-master SMBus configurations when Hardware Acknowledge is enabled and the MCU  
is operating as a master.  
The following issues are present when operating as a slave in a multi-slave SMBus configuration:  
a. When Hardware Acknowledge is enabled and SDA setup and hold times are not extended  
(EXTHOLD = 0 in the SMB0CF register), the SMBus hardware will always generate an SMBus  
interrupt following the ACK/NACK cycle of any slave address transmission on the bus, whether  
or not the address matches the conditions of SMB0ADR and SMB0MASK. The expected  
behavior is that an interrupt is only generated when the address matches.  
b. When Hardware Acknowledge is enabled and SDA setup and hold times are extended   
(EXTHOLD = 1 in the SMB0CF register), the SMBus hardware will only generate an SMBus  
interrupt as expected when the slave address transmission on the bus matches the conditions of  
SMB0ADR and SMB0MASK. However, in this mode, the Start bit (STA) will be incorrectly  
cleared on reception of a slave address before software vectors to the interrupt service routine.  
c. When Hardware Acknowledge is enabled and the ACK bit (SMB0CN.1) is set to 1, an  
unaddressed slave may cause interference on the SMBus by driving SDA low during an ACK  
cycle. The ACK bit of the unaddressed slave may be set to 1 if any device on the bus generates  
an ACK.  
Impact:  
a. Once the CPU enters the interrupt service routine, SCL will be asserted low until SI is cleared,  
causing the clock to be stretched when the MCU is not being addressed. This may limit the  
maximum speed of the SMBus if the master supports SCL clock stretching. Incompliant SMBus  
masters that do not support SCL clock stretching will not recognize that the clock is being  
stretched. If the CPU issues a write to SMB0DAT, it will have no effect on the bus. No data  
collisions will occur.  
b. Once the hardware has matched an address and entered the interrupt service routine, the  
firmware will not be able to use the Start bit to distinguish between the reception of an address  
byte versus the reception of a data byte. However, the hardware will still correctly acknowledge  
the address byte (SLA+R/W).  
c. The SMBus master and the addressed slave are prevented from generating a NACK by the  
unaddressed slave because it is holding SDA low during the ACK cycle. There is a potential for  
the SMBus to lock up.  
Rev. 1.0  
279  
Si106x/108x  
Workarounds:  
a. The SMBus interrupt service routine should verify an address when it is received and clear SI as  
soon as possible if the address does not match to minimize clock stretching. To prevent clock  
stretching when not being addressed, enable setup and hold time extensions (EXTHOLD = 1).  
b. Detection of Initial Start:  
To distinguish between the reception of an address byte at the beginning of a transfer versus  
the reception of a data byte when setup and hold time extensions are enabled (EXTHOLD = 1),  
software should maintain a status bit to determine whether it is currently inside or outside a  
transfer. Once hardware detects a matching slave address and interrupts the MCU, software  
should assume a start condition and set the software bit to indicate that it is currently inside a  
transfer. A transfer ends any time the STO bit is set or on an error condition (e.g., SCL Low  
Timeout).  
Detection of Repeated Start:  
To detect the reception of an address byte in the middle of a transfer when setup and hold time  
extensions are enabled (EXTHOLD = 1), disable setup and hold time extensions (EXTHOLD =  
0) upon entry into a transfer and re-enable setup and hold time extensions (EXHOLD = 1) at the  
end of a transfer.  
c. Schedule a timer interrupt to clear the ACK bit at an interval shorter than 7 bit periods when the  
slave is not being addressed. For example, on a 400 kHz SMBus, the ACK bit should be cleared  
every 17.5 µs (or at 1/7 the bus frequency, 57 kHz). As soon as a matching slave address is  
detected (a transfer is started), the timer which clears the ACK bit should be stopped and its  
interrupt flag cleared. The timer should be re-started once a stop or error condition is detected  
(the transfer has ended).  
A code example demonstrating these workarounds can be found in the SMBus examples folder with the  
following default location:  
Si106x  
C:\SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F93x_92x\SMBus\F93x_SMBus_Slave_Multibyte_HWACK.c  
Si108x  
C:\SiLabs\MCU\Examples\C8051F91x_90x\SMBus\F91x_SMBus_Slave_Multibyte_HWACK.c  
The SMBus examples folder, along with examples for many additional peripherals, is created when the Sil-  
icon Laboratories IDE is installed. The latest version of the IDE may be downloaded from the software  
downloads page www.silabs.com/MCUDownloads on the Silicon Laboratories website.  
The following issue is present when operating as a master in a multi-master SMBus configuration:  
If the SMBus master loses arbitration in a multi-master system, it may cause interference on the SMBus by  
driving SDA low during the ACK cycle of transfers which it is not participating. This will occur regardless of  
the state of the ACK bit (SMB0CN.1).  
Impact:  
The SMBus master and slave participating in the transfer are prevented from generating a NACK by the  
MCU because it is holding SDA low during the ACK cycle. There is a potential for the SMBus to lock up.  
Workaround:  
Disable Hardware Acknowledge (EHACK = 0) when the MCU is operating as a master in a multi-master  
SMBus configuration.

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

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.

28.5. 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 genera-  
tion is enabled. As a transmitter, interrupts occur after the ACK, regardless of whether hardware ACK gen-  
eration is enabled or not.  
28.5.1. Write Sequence (Master)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The master in this transfer will be  
a transmitter during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. The SMBus interface gener-  
ates the START condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and the  
data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 (WRITE). The master then trans-  
mits one or more bytes of serial data. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is generated by  
the slave. The transfer is ended when the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. Note that the interface  
will switch to Master Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not written following a Master Transmitter interrupt.  
Figure 28.5 shows a typical master write sequence. Two transmit data bytes are shown, though any num-  
ber of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that all of the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur after the ACK  
cycle in this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is enabled.

28.5.2. Read Sequence (Master)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The master in this transfer will  
be a transmitter during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. The SMBus interface gener-  
ates the START condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and the  
data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 (READ). Serial data is then  
received from the slave on SDA while the SMBus outputs the serial clock. The slave transmits one or more  
bytes of serial data.  
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.  
282  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
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 SMB0-  
DAT is written while an active Master Receiver. Figure 28.6 shows a typical master read sequence. Two  
received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice that the ‘data byte  
transferred’ interrupts occur at different places in the sequence, depending on whether hardware ACK gen-  
eration is enabled. The interrupt occurs before the ACK with hardware ACK generation disabled, and after  
the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled.

28.5.3. Write Sequence (Slave)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be  
a receiver during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled  
(INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode when a START followed by a slave address and direc-  
tion bit (WRITE in this case) is received. 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. 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.  
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 28.7 shows a typical slave  
write sequence. Two received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice  
Rev. 1.0  
283  
Si106x/108x  
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.

28.5.4. 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 trans-  
mitted. If the received slave address is acknowledged, data should be written to SMB0DAT to be transmit-  
ted. The interface enters Slave Transmitter Mode, and transmits one or more bytes of data. After each byte  
is transmitted, the master sends an acknowledge bit; if the acknowledge bit is an ACK, SMB0DAT should  
be written with the next data byte. If the acknowledge bit is a NACK, SMB0DAT should not be written to  
before SI is cleared (Note: an error condition may be generated if SMB0DAT is written following a received  
NACK while in Slave Transmitter Mode). The interface exits Slave Transmitter Mode after receiving a  
STOP. Note that the interface will switch to Slave Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not written following a  
Slave Transmitter interrupt. Figure 28.8 shows a typical slave read sequence. Two transmitted data bytes  
are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that all of the ‘data byte transferred’  
interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is  
enabled.

28.6. 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 28.5 describes the typical actions when hardware slave address  
recognition and ACK generation is disabled. Table 28.6 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 typ-  
ical responses; application-specific procedures are allowed as long as they conform to the SMBus specifi-  
cation. Highlighted responses are allowed by hardware but do not conform to the SMBus specification.

29. 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 “29.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation” on page 291). 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).

29.1. 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 29.2), 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 “31.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit  
Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload” on page 314). 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  
external input T1. For any given Timer 1 clock source, the UART0 baud rate is determined by  
Equation 29.1-A and Equation 29.1-B.

value). Timer 1 clock frequency is selected as described in Section “31.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1” on  
page 313. A quick reference for typical baud rates and system clock frequencies is given in Table 29.1  
through Table 29.2. Note that the internal oscillator may still generate the system clock when the external  
oscillator is driving Timer 1.

29.2. 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.  
Figure 29.3. UART Interconnect Diagram  
29.2.1. 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.

29.2.2. 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.

29.3. 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).

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.

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

30.1. Signal Descriptions  
The four signals used by SPI0 (MOSI, MISO, SCK, NSS) are described below.  
30.1.1. Master Out, Slave In (MOSI)  
The master-out, slave-in (MOSI) signal is an output from a master device and an input to slave devices. It  
is used to serially transfer data from the master to the slave. This signal is an output when SPI0 is  
operating as a master and an input when SPI0 is operating as a slave. Data is transferred most-significant  
bit first. When configured as a master, MOSI is driven by the MSB of the shift register in both 3- and 4-wire  
mode.  
30.1.2. Master In, Slave Out (MISO)  
The master-in, slave-out (MISO) signal is an output from a slave device and an input to the master device.  
It is used to serially transfer data from the slave to the master. This signal is an input when SPI0 is  
operating as a master and an output when SPI0 is operating as a slave. Data is transferred most-  
significant bit first. The MISO pin is placed in a high-impedance state when the SPI module is disabled and  
when the SPI operates in 4-wire mode as a slave that is not selected. When acting as a slave in 3-wire  
mode, MISO is always driven by the MSB of the shift register.  
30.1.3. Serial Clock (SCK)  
The serial clock (SCK) signal is an output from the master device and an input to slave devices. It is used  
to synchronize the transfer of data between the master and slave on the MOSI and MISO lines. SPI0  
generates 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.  
30.1.4. Slave Select (NSS)  
The function of the slave-select (NSS) signal is dependent on the setting of the NSSMD1 and NSSMD0  
bits in the SPI0CN register. There are three possible modes that can be selected with these bits:  
1. NSSMD[1:0] = 00: 3-Wire Master or 3-Wire Slave Mode: SPI0 operates in 3-wire mode, and NSS is  
disabled. When operating as a slave device, SPI0 is always selected in 3-wire mode. Since no select  
signal is present, SPI0 must be the only slave on the bus in 3-wire mode. This is intended for point-to-  
point communication between a master and one slave.  
2. NSSMD[1:0] = 01: 4-Wire Slave or Multi-Master Mode: SPI0 operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is  
enabled as an input. When operating as a slave, NSS selects the SPI0 device. When operating as a  
master, a 1-to-0 transition of the NSS signal disables the master function of SPI0 so that multiple  
master devices can be used on the same SPI bus.  
3. NSSMD[1:0] = 1x: 4-Wire Master Mode: SPI0 operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is enabled as an  
output. The setting of NSSMD0 determines what logic level the NSS pin will output. This configuration  
should only be used when operating SPI0 as a master device.  
See Figure 30.2, Figure 30.3, and Figure 30.4 for typical connection diagrams of the various operational  
modes. Note that the setting of NSSMD bits affects the pinout of the device. When in 3-wire master or  
3-wire slave mode, the NSS pin will not be mapped by the crossbar. In all other modes, the NSS signal will  
be mapped to a pin on the device. See Section “20. Si106x/108xPort Input/Output” on page 217 for  
general purpose port I/O and crossbar information.  
30.2. SPI0 Master Mode Operation  
A SPI master device initiates all data transfers on a SPI bus. SPI0 is placed in master mode by setting the  
Master Enable flag (MSTEN, SPI0CN.6). Writing a byte of data to the SPI0 data register (SPI0DAT) when  
in master mode writes to the transmit buffer. If the SPI shift register is empty, the byte in the transmit buffer  
is moved to the shift register, and a data transfer begins. The SPI0 master immediately shifts out the data  
serially on the MOSI line while providing the serial clock on SCK. The SPIF (SPI0CN.7) flag is set to logic  
1 at the end of the transfer. If interrupts are enabled, an interrupt request is generated when the SPIF flag  
is set. While the SPI0 master transfers data to a slave on the MOSI line, the addressed SPI slave device  
simultaneously transfers the contents of its shift register to the SPI master on the MISO line in a full-duplex  
299  
Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
operation. Therefore, the SPIF flag serves as both a transmit-complete and receive-data-ready flag. The  
data byte received from the slave is transferred MSB-first into the master's shift register. When a byte is  
fully shifted into the register, it is moved to the receive buffer where it can be read by the processor by  
reading SPI0DAT.  
When configured as a master, SPI0 can operate in one of three different modes: multi-master mode, 3-wire  
single-master mode, and 4-wire single-master mode. The default, multi-master mode is active when  
NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 1. In this mode, NSS is an input to the device, and  
is used to disable the master SPI0 when another master is accessing the bus. When NSS is pulled low in  
this mode, MSTEN (SPI0CN.6) and SPIEN (SPI0CN.0) are set to 0 to disable the SPI master device, and  
a Mode Fault is generated (MODF, SPI0CN.5 = 1). Mode Fault will generate an interrupt if enabled. SPI0  
must be manually re-enabled in software under these circumstances. In multi-master systems, devices will  
typically default to being slave devices while they are not acting as the system master device. In multi-  
master mode, slave devices can be addressed individually (if needed) using general-purpose I/O pins.  
Figure 30.2 shows a connection diagram between two master devices in multiple-master mode.  
3-wire single-master mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 0. In this  
mode, NSS is not used, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Any slave devices  
that must be addressed in this mode should be selected using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 30.3  
shows a connection diagram between a master device in 3-wire master mode and a slave device.  
4-wire single-master mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 1. In this mode, NSS is configured as an  
output pin, and can be used as a slave-select signal for a single SPI device. In this mode, the output value  
of NSS is controlled (in software) with the bit NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2). Additional slave devices can be  
addressed using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 30.4 shows a connection diagram for a master device in  
4-wire master mode and two slave devices.

30.3. SPI0 Slave Mode Operation  
When SPI0 is enabled and not configured as a master, it will operate as a SPI slave. As a slave, bytes are  
shifted in through the MOSI pin and out through the MISO pin by a master device controlling the SCK  
signal. A bit counter in the SPI0 logic counts SCK edges. When 8 bits have been shifted through the shift  
register, the SPIF flag is set to logic 1, and the byte is copied into the receive buffer. Data is read from the  
receive buffer by reading SPI0DAT. A slave device cannot initiate transfers. Data to be transferred to the  
master device is pre-loaded into the shift register by writing to SPI0DAT. Writes to SPI0DAT are double-  
buffered, and are placed in the transmit buffer first. If the shift register is empty, the contents of the transmit  
buffer will immediately be transferred into the shift register. When the shift register already contains data,  
the SPI will load the shift register with the transmit buffer’s contents after the last SCK edge of the next (or  
current) SPI transfer.  
When configured as a slave, SPI0 can be configured for 4-wire or 3-wire operation. The default, 4-wire  
slave mode, is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 1. In 4-wire mode, the  
NSS signal is routed to a port pin and configured as a digital input. SPI0 is enabled when NSS is logic 0,  
and disabled when NSS is logic 1. The bit counter is reset on a falling edge of NSS. Note that the NSS  
signal must be driven low at least 2 system clocks before the first active edge of SCK for each byte  
transfer. Figure 30.4 shows a connection diagram between two slave devices in 4-wire slave mode and a  
master device.  
3-wire slave mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 0. NSS is not  
used in this mode, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Since there is no way of  
uniquely addressing the device in 3-wire slave mode, SPI0 must be the only slave device present on the  
bus. It is important to note that in 3-wire slave mode there is no external means of resetting the bit counter  
that determines when a full byte has been received. The bit counter can only be reset by disabling and re-  
enabling SPI0 with the SPIEN bit. Figure 30.3 shows a connection diagram between a slave device in 3-  
wire slave mode and a master device.

30.4. SPI0 Interrupt Sources  
When SPI0 interrupts are enabled, the following four flags will generate an interrupt when they are set to  
logic 1:  
All of the following bits must be cleared by software.  
The SPI Interrupt Flag, SPIF (SPI0CN.7) is set to logic 1 at the end of each byte transfer. This flag can  
occur in all SPI0 modes.  
The Write Collision Flag, WCOL (SPI0CN.6) is set to logic 1 if a write to SPI0DAT is attempted when  
the transmit buffer has not been emptied to the SPI shift register. When this occurs, the write to  
SPI0DAT will be ignored, and the transmit buffer will not be written.This flag can occur in all SPI0  
modes.  
The Mode Fault Flag MODF (SPI0CN.5) is set to logic 1 when SPI0 is configured as a master, and for  
multi-master mode and the NSS pin is pulled low. When a Mode Fault occurs, the MSTEN and SPIEN  
bits in SPI0CN are set to logic 0 to disable SPI0 and allow another master device to access the bus.  
The Receive Overrun Flag RXOVRN (SPI0CN.4) is set to logic 1 when configured as a slave, and a  
transfer is completed and the receive buffer still holds an unread byte from a previous transfer. The new  
byte is not transferred to the receive buffer, allowing the previously received data byte to be read. The  
data byte which caused the overrun is lost.

30.5. Serial Clock Phase and Polarity  
Four combinations of serial clock phase and polarity can be selected using the clock control bits in the  
SPI0 Configuration Register (SPI0CFG). The CKPHA bit (SPI0CFG.5) selects one of two clock phases  
(edge used to latch the data). The CKPOL bit (SPI0CFG.4) selects between an active-high or active-low  
clock. Both master and slave devices must be configured to use the same clock phase and polarity. SPI0  
should be disabled (by clearing the SPIEN bit, SPI0CN.0) when changing the clock phase or polarity. The  
clock and data line relationships for master mode are shown in Figure 30.5. For slave mode, the clock and  
data relationships are shown in Figure 30.6 and Figure 30.7. Note that CKPHA should be set to 0 on both  
the master and slave SPI when communicating between two Silicon Labs C8051 devices.  
The SPI0 Clock Rate Register (SPI0CKR) as shown in SFR Definition 30.9 controls the master mode  
serial clock frequency. This register is ignored when operating in slave mode. When the SPI is configured  
as a master, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) is one-half the system clock frequency or 12.5 MHz,  
whichever is slower. When the SPI is configured as a slave, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) for  
full-duplex operation is 1/10 the system clock frequency, provided that the master issues SCK, NSS (in 4-  
wire slave mode), and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s system clock. If the master  
issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data asynchronously, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec)  
must be less than 1/10 the system clock frequency. In the special case where the master only wants to  
transmit data to the slave and does not need to receive data from the slave (i.e. half-duplex operation), the  
SPI slave can receive data at a maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) of 1/4 the system clock frequency.  
This is provided that the master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s  
system clock.

Shift Register Empty (valid in slave mode only).  
This bit will be set to logic 1 when all data has been transferred in/out of the shift  
register, and there is no new information available to read from the transmit buffer  
or write to the receive buffer. It returns to logic 0 when a data byte is transferred to  
the shift register from the transmit buffer or by a transition on SCK. SRMT = 1 when  
in Master Mode.

RXBMT  
Receive Buffer Empty (valid in slave mode only).  
This bit will be set to logic 1 when the receive buffer has been read and contains no  
new information. If there is new information available in the receive buffer that has  
not been read, this bit will return to logic 0. RXBMT = 1 when in Master Mode.  
Note: In slave mode, data on MOSI is sampled in the center of each data bit. In master mode, data on MISO is  
sampled one SYSCLK before the end of each data bit, to provide maximum settling time for the slave device.

31. 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. See Appli-  
cation Note AN338 for details on Capacitive Touch Switch sensing.

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 31.1 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.

31.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1  
Each timer is implemented as a 16-bit register accessed as two separate bytes: a low byte (TL0 or TL1)  
and a high byte (TH0 or TH1). The Counter/Timer Control register (TCON) is used to enable Timer 0 and  
Timer 1 as well as indicate status. Timer 0 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET0 bit in the IE regis-  
ter (Section “11.5. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 140); Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled by set-  
ting the ET1 bit in the IE register (Section “11.5. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 140). 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.  
31.1.1. Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as 13-bit counter/timers in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration  
and operation of Timer 0. However, both timers operate identically, and Timer 1 is configured in the same  
manner as described for Timer 0.  
The TH0 register holds the eight MSBs of the 13-bit counter/timer. TL0 holds the five LSBs in bit positions  
TL0.4TL0.0. The three upper bits of TL0 (TL0.7TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or  
ignored when reading. As the 13-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to  
0x0000, the timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and an interrupt will occur if Timer 0 interrupts are  
enabled.  
The C/T0 bit (TMOD.2) selects the counter/timer's clock source. When C/T0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low  
transitions at the selected Timer 0 input pin (T0) increment the timer register (Refer to Section  
“20.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 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 31.1).  
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 11.7). Setting GATE0 to 1  
allows the timer to be controlled by the external input signal INT0 (see Section “11.5. Interrupt Register  
Descriptions” on page 140), facilitating pulse width measurements

Setting TR0 does not force the timer to reset. The timer registers should be loaded with the desired initial  
value before the timer is enabled.  
TL1 and TH1 form the 13-bit register for Timer 1 in the same manner as described above for TL0 and TH0.  
Timer 1 is configured and controlled using the relevant TCON and TMOD bits just as with Timer 0. The  
input signal INT1 is used with Timer 1; the INT1 polarity is defined by bit IN1PL in register IT01CF (see  
SFR Definition 11.7).

31.1.2. 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.  
31.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload  
Mode 2 configures Timer 0 and Timer 1 to operate as 8-bit counter/timers with automatic reload of the start  
value. TL0 holds the count and TH0 holds the reload value. When the counter in TL0 overflows from all  
ones to 0x00, the timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and the counter in TL0 is reloaded from TH0. If  
Timer 0 interrupts are enabled, an interrupt will occur when the TF0 flag is set. The reload value in TH0 is  
not changed. TL0 must be initialized to the desired value before enabling the timer for the first count to be  
correct. When in Mode 2, Timer 1 operates identically to Timer 0.  
Both counter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 2 in the same manner as Mode 0. Setting the  
TR0 bit (TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is logic 0 or when the input signal INT0  
is active as defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF (see Section “11.6. External Interrupts INT0 and INT1”  
on page 147 for details on the external input signals INT0 and INT1).

31.1.4. 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 set-  
tings. To run Timer 1 while Timer 0 is in Mode 3, set the Timer 1 Mode as 0, 1, or 2. To disable Timer 1,  
configure it for Mode 3.

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.  
31.2.1. 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 31.4,  
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.

When T2SPLIT is set, Timer 2 operates as two 8-bit timers (TMR2H and TMR2L). Both 8-bit timers oper-

always running when configured for 8-bit Mode.

The TF2H bit is set when TMR2H overflows from 0xFF to 0x00; the TF2L bit is set when TMR2L overflows

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

31.2.3. 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 as follows:  
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 capaci-  
tance of a Touch Sense Switch.

31.3. Timer 3  
Timer 3 is a 16-bit timer formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMR3L (low byte) and TMR3H (high byte). Timer 3 may  
operate in 16-bit auto-reload mode or (split) 8-bit auto-reload mode. The T3SPLIT bit (TMR3CN.3) defines  
the Timer 3 operation mode. Timer 3 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.  
31.3.1. 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 31.7, 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.

31.3.3. 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.

32. Si106x/108xSi106x/108x 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 the following sources: system clock, system clock divided  
by four, system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock source divided by 8, Timer 0 over-  
flows, 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  
“32.3. Capture/Compare Modules” on page 336). The external oscillator clock option is ideal for real-time  
clock (RTC) functionality, allowing the PCA to be clocked by a precision external oscillator while the inter-  
nal oscillator drives the system clock. The PCA is configured and controlled through the system controller's  
Special Function Registers. The PCA block diagram is shown in Figure 32.1  
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.

32.1. 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 32.1.  
When the counter/timer overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the Counter Overflow Flag (CF) in PCA0MD is  
set to logic 1 and an interrupt request is generated if CF interrupts are enabled. Setting the ECF bit in  
PCA0MD to logic 1 enables the CF flag to generate an interrupt request. The CF bit is not automatically  
cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by soft-  
ware. Clearing the CIDL bit in the PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue normal operation while the  
CPU is in Idle mode.

32.2. PCA0 Interrupt Sources  
Figure 32.3 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 set-  
ting the EA bit and the EPCA0 bit to logic 1.

32.3. 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 32.2 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.

32.3.1. 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 transi-  
tion that triggers the capture: low-to-high transition (positive edge), high-to-low transition (negative edge),  
or either transition (positive or negative edge). When a capture occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn)  
in PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is  
enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt ser-  
vice routine, and must be cleared by software. If both CAPPn and CAPNn bits are set to logic 1, then the  
state of the Port pin associated with CEXn can be read directly to determine whether a rising-edge or fall-  
ing-edge caused the capture.

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

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

32.3.4. Frequency Output Mode  
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s associated  
CEXn pin. The capture/compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the out-  
put is toggled. The frequency of the square wave is then defined by Equation 32.1.

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 reg-  
ister. Note that the MATn bit should normally be set to 0 in this mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn  
flag for the channel will be set when the 16-bit PCA0 counter and the 16-bit capture/compare register for  
the channel are equal.

32.3.5. 8-Bit, 9-Bit, 10-Bit and 11-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Modes  
Each module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its associ-  
ated CEXn pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA counter/timer, and  
the setting of the PWM cycle length (8, 9, 10 or 11-bits). For backwards-compatibility with the 8-bit PWM  
mode available on other devices, the 8-bit PWM mode operates slightly different than 9, 10 and 11-bit  
PWM modes. It is important to note that all channels configured for 8/9/10/11-bit PWM mode will use  
the same cycle length. It is not possible to configure one channel for 8-bit PWM mode and another for 11-  
bit mode (for example). However, other PCA channels can be configured to Pin Capture, High-Speed Out-  
put, Software Timer, Frequency Output, or 16-bit PWM mode independently.

32.3.5.1. 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
The duty cycle of the PWM output signal in 8-bit PWM mode is varied using the module's PCA0CPLn cap-  
ture/compare register. When the value in the low byte of the PCA counter/timer (PCA0L) is equal to the  
value in PCA0CPLn, the output on the CEXn pin will be set. When the count value in PCA0L overflows, the  
CEXn output will be reset (see Figure 32.8). 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 32.2.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Cap-  
ture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the  
ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

32.3.5.2. 9/10/11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
The duty cycle of the PWM output signal in 9/10/11-bit PWM mode should be varied by writing to an “Auto-  
Reload” Register, which is dual-mapped into the PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn register locations. The data  
written to define the duty cycle should be right-justified in the registers. The auto-reload registers are  
accessed (read or written) when the bit ARSEL in PCA0PWM is set to 1. The capture/compare registers  
are accessed when ARSEL is set to 0.  
When the least-significant N bits of the PCA0 counter match the value in the associated module’s cap-  
ture/compare register (PCA0CPn), the output on CEXn is asserted high. When the counter overflows from  
the Nth bit, CEXn is asserted low (see Figure 32.9). Upon an overflow from the Nth bit, the COVF flag is  
set, and the value stored in the module’s auto-reload register is loaded into the capture/compare register.  
The value of N is determined by the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM.  
The 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode is selected by setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn regis-  
ter, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to the desired cycle length (other than 8-bits). If the  
MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time a comparator match (rising edge)  
occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow (falling edge), which will occur  
every 512 (9-bit), 1024 (10-bit) or 2048 (11-bit) PCA clock cycles. The duty cycle for 9/10/11-Bit PWM  
Mode is given in Equation 32.2, 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.

32.3.6. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. 16-bit PWM mode is independent of the other  
(8/9/10/11-bit) PWM modes. In this mode, the 16-bit capture/compare module defines the number of PCA  
clocks for the low time of the PWM signal. When the PCA counter matches the module contents, the out-  
put on CEXn is asserted high; when the 16-bit counter overflows, CEXn is asserted low. To output a vary-  
ing duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with PCA CCFn match interrupts. 16-Bit PWM  
Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a vary-  
ing duty cycle, match interrupts should be enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help synchronize the  
capture/compare register writes. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each  
time a 16-bit comparator match (rising edge) occurs. The CF flag in PCA0CN can be used to detect the  
overflow (falling edge). The duty cycle for 16-Bit PWM Mode is given by Equation 32.4.  
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Cap-  
ture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the  
ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

----------------------------------------------------  
Duty Cycle =  
65536  
Equation 32.4. 16-Bit PWM Duty Cycle  
Using Equation 32.4, the largest duty cycle is 100% (PCA0CPn = 0), and the smallest duty cycle is  
0.0015% (PCA0CPn = 0xFFFF). A 0% duty cycle may be generated by clearing the ECOMn bit to 0.

32.4. Watchdog Timer Mode  
A programmable watchdog timer (WDT) function is available through the PCA Module 5. The WDT is used  
to generate a reset if the time between writes to the WDT update register (PCA0CPH5) exceed a specified  
limit. The WDT can be configured and enabled/disabled as needed by software.  
With the WDTE bit set in the PCA0MD register, Module 5 operates as a watchdog timer (WDT). The Mod-  
ule 5 high byte is compared to the PCA counter high byte; the Module 5 low byte holds the offset to be  
used when WDT updates are performed. The Watchdog Timer is enabled on reset. Writes to some  
PCA registers are restricted while the Watchdog Timer is enabled. The WDT will generate a reset  
shortly after code begins execution. To avoid this reset, the WDT should be explicitly disabled (and option-  
ally re-configured and re-enabled if it is used in the system).  
32.4.1. 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 32.11).

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 32.5, where PCA0L is the value of the PCA0L register  
at the time of the update.

Rev. 1.0  
Si106x/108x  
Offset = 256 PCA0CPL5+ 256 – PCA0L  
Equation 32.5. 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.  
32.4.2. 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 32.5, this results in a WDT  
timeout interval of 256 PCA clock cycles, or 3072 system clock cycles. Table 32.3 lists some example tim-  
eout intervals for typical system clocks.

33. Device Specific Behavior  
This chapter contains behavioral differences between the silicon revisions of Si106x/108x devices. These  
differences do not affect the functionality or performance of most systems and are described below.  
33.1. Device Identification  
The Part Number Identifier on the top side of the device package can be used for decoding device informa-  
tion. The first character of the trace code identifies the silicon revision. On Si106x/108x devices, the trace  
code will be the fifth letter on the second line. Figure 33.1 show how to find the part number on the top side  
of the device package.  
This fifth character identifies  
the device revision.

34. C2 Interface  
Si106x/108x devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow flash program-  
ming 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.  
34.1. 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.

34.2. 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 configura-  
tion is shown in Figure 34.1.

Figure 34.1. Typical C2 Pin Sharing  
The configuration in Figure 34.1 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.
