ST72121  
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
1.1 INTRODUCTION  
The ST72121 HCMOS Microcontroller Unit (MCU)  
is a member of the ST7 family. The device is  
based on an industry-standard 8-bit core and fea-  
tures an enhanced instruction set. The device is  
normally operated at a 16 MHz oscillator frequen-  
cy. Under software control, the ST72121 may be  
placed in either Wait, Slow or Halt modes, thus re-  
ducing power consumption. The enhanced in-  
struction set and addressing modes afford real  
programming potential. In addition to standard  
8-bit data management, the ST72121 features  
true bit manipulation, 8x8 unsigned multiplication  
and indirect addressing modes on the whole mem-  
ory. The device includes a low consumption and  
fast start on-chip oscillator, CPU, program memo-  
ry (ROM/OTP/EPROM versions), RAM, 32 I/O  
lines, a Low Voltage Detector (LVD) and the fol-  
lowing on-chip peripherals: industry standard syn-  
chronous SPI and asynchronous SCI serial inter-  
faces, digital Watchdog, two independent 16-bit  
Timers, one featuring an External Clock Input, and  
both featuring Pulse Generator capabilities, 2 In-  
put Captures and 2 Output Compares (only 1 Input  
Capture and 1 Output Compare on Timer A).

2 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT  
2.1 INTRODUCTION  
Accumulator (A)  
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose reg-  
ister used to hold operands and the results of the  
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate  
data.  
This CPU has a full 8-bit architecture and contains  
six internal registers allowing efficient 8-bit data  
manipulation.  
Index Registers (X and Y)  
2.2 MAIN FEATURES  
In indexed addressing modes, these 8-bit registers  
are used to create either effective addresses or  
temporary storage areas for data manipulation.  
(The Cross-Assembler generates a precede in-  
struction (PRE) to indicate that the following in-  
struction refers to the Y register.)  
63 basic instructions  
Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply  
17 main addressing modes (with indirect  
addressing mode)  
Two 8-bit index registers  
16-bit stack pointer  
8 MHz CPU internal frequency  
Low power modes  
Maskable hardware interrupts  
Non-maskable software interrupt  
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt auto-  
matic procedures (not pushed to and popped from  
the stack).  
Program Counter (PC)  
The program counter is a 16-bit register containing  
the address of the next instruction to be executed  
by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL  
(Program Counter Low which is the LSB) and PCH  
(Program Counter High which is the MSB).  
2.3 CPU REGISTERS  
The 6 CPU registers shown in Figure 5 are not  
present in the memory mapping and are accessed  
by specific instructions.

Bit 2 = N Negative.  
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. It is repre-  
sentative of the result sign of the last arithmetic,  
logical or data manipulation. It is a copy of the 7th  
bit of the result.  
0: The result of the last operation is positive or null.  
1: The result of the last operation is negative  
(i.e. the most significant bit is a logic 1).  
The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the in-  
terrupt mask and four flags representative of the  
result of the instruction just executed. This register  
can also be handled by the PUSH and POP in-  
structions.  
These bits can be individually tested and/or con-  
trolled by specific instructions.  
This bit is accessed by the JRMI and JRPL instruc-  
tions.  
Bit 4 = H Half carry.  
This bit is set by hardware when a carry occurs be-  
tween bits 3 and 4 of the ALU during an ADD or  
ADC instruction. It is reset by hardware during the  
same instructions.  
0: No half carry has occurred.  
1: A half carry has occurred.  
Bit 1 = Z Zero.  
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This bit in-  
dicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical  
or data manipulation is zero.  
0: The result of the last operation is different from  
zero.  
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruc-  
tion. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subrou-  
tines.  
1: The result of the last operation is zero.  
This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test  
instructions.  
Bit 3 = I Interrupt mask.  
Bit 0 = C Carry/borrow.  
This bit is set by hardware when entering in inter-  
rupt or by software to disable all interrupts except  
the TRAP software interrupt. This bit is cleared by  
software.  
0: Interrupts are enabled.  
1: Interrupts are disabled.  
This bit is set and cleared by hardware and soft-  
ware. It indicates an overflow or an underflow has  
occurred during the last arithmetic operation.  
0: No overflow or underflow has occurred.  
1: An overflow or underflow has occurred.  
This bit is driven by the SCF and RCF instructions  
and tested by the JRC and JRNC instructions. It is  
also affected by the “bit test and branch”, shift and  
rotate instructions.  
This bit is controlled by the RIM, SIM and IRET in-  
structions and is tested by the JRM and JRNM in-  
structions.  
Note: Interrupts requested while I is set are  
latched and can be processed when I is cleared.  
By default an interrupt routine is not interruptable  
because the I bit is set by hardware when you en-

The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer  
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD in-  
struction.  
Read/Write  
Reset Value: 01FFh  
Note: When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack  
Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit, with-  
out indicating the stack overflow. The previously  
stored information is then overwritten and there-  
fore lost. The stack also wraps in case of an under-  
flow.

The stack is used to save the return address dur-  
ing a subroutine call and the CPU context during  
an interrupt. The user may also directly manipulate  
the stack by means of the PUSH and POP instruc-  
tions. In the case of an interrupt, the PCL is stored  
at the first location pointed to by the SP. Then the  
other registers are stored in the next locations as  
shown in Figure 6.

SP5  
SP4  
SP3

SP0  
The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is al-  
ways pointing to the next free location in the stack.  
It is then decremented after data has been pushed  
onto the stack and incremented before data is  
popped from the stack (see Figure 6).  
– When an interrupt is received, the SP is decre-  
mented and the context is pushed on the stack.  
Since the stack is 256 bytes deep, the 8th most  
significant bits are forced by hardware. Following  
an MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer in-  
struction (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its re-  
set value (the SP7 to SP0 bits are set) which is the  
stack higher address.  
– On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented  
and the context is popped from the stack.  
A subroutine call occupies two locations and an in-  
terrupt five locations in the stack area.

3 CLOCKS, RESET, INTERRUPTS & POWER SAVING MODES  
3.1 CLOCK SYSTEM  
3.1.1 General Description  
The MCU accepts either a crystal or ceramic reso-  
nator, or an external clock signal to drive the inter-  
nal oscillator. The internal clock (fCPU) is derived  
Figure 7. External Clock Source Connections  
from the external oscillator frequency (fOSC). The  
external Oscillator clock is first divided by 2, and  
an additional division factor of 2, 4, 8, or 16 can be  
applied, in Slow Mode, to reduce the frequency of  
the fCPU; this clock signal is also routed to the on-  
chip peripherals. The CPU clock signal consists of  
a square wave with a duty cycle of 50%.  
OSCIN  
OSCOUT  
NC  
EXTERNAL  
CLOCK  
The internal oscillator is designed to operate with  
an AT-cut parallel resonant quartz crystal resona-  
tor in the frequency range specified for fosc. The  
circuit shown in Figure 8 is recommended when  
using a crystal, and Table 4 lists the recommend-  
ed capacitance and feedback resistance values.  
The crystal and associated components should be  
mounted as close as possible to the input pins in  
order to minimize output distortion and start-up  
stabilisation time.

Use of an external CMOS oscillator is recom-  
mended when crystals outside the specified fre-  
quency ranges are to be used.

3.2 RESET  
3.2.1 Introduction  
nised. At the end of the Power-On Reset cycle, the  
MCU may be held in the Reset condition by an Ex-  
ternal Reset signal. The RESET pin may thus be  
used to ensure VDD has risen to a point where the  
MCU can operate correctly before the user pro-  
gram is run. Following a Power-On Reset event, or  
after exiting Halt mode, a 4096 CPU Clock cycle  
delay period is initiated in order to allow the oscil-  
lator to stabilise and to ensure that recovery has  
taken place from the Reset state.  
There are four sources of Reset:  
– RESET pin (external source)  
– Power-On Reset (Internal source)  
– WATCHDOG (Internal Source)  
– Low Voltage Detection Reset (internal source)  
The Reset Service Routine vector is located at ad-  
dress FFFEh-FFFFh.  
During the Reset cycle, the device Reset pin acts  
as an output that is pulsed low. In its high state, an  
internal pull-up resistor is connected to the Reset  
pin. This resistor can be pulled low by external cir-  
cuitry to reset the device.  
3.2.2 External Reset  
The RESET pin is both an input and an open-drain  
output with integrated pull-up resistor. When one  
of the internal Reset sources is active, the Reset  
pin is driven low to reset the whole application.  
The Reset pin is an asynchronous signal which  
plays a major role in EMS performance. In a noisy  
environment, the best external network is a double  
capacitive decoupling consisting of 0.1 µF to VSS  
3.2.3 Reset Operation  
The duration of the Reset condition, which is also  
reflected on the output pin, is fixed at 4096 internal  
CPU Clock cycles. A Reset signal originating from  
an external source must have a duration of at least  
1.5 internal CPU Clock cycles in order to be recog-  
and 0.1 µF to VDD  
.

cases, it is recommended to use devices without  
the LVD Reset option and to rely on the watchdog  
function to detect application runaway conditions.  
The on-chip Low Voltage Detector (LVD) gener-  
ates a static reset when the supply voltage is be-  
low a reference value. The LVD functions both  
during power-on as well as when the power supply  
drops (brown-out). The reference value for a volt-  
age drop is lower than the reference value for pow-  
er-on in order to avoid a parasitic reset when the  
MCU starts running and sinks current on the sup-  
ply (hysteresis).

3.3 INTERRUPTS  
The ST7 core may be interrupted by one of two dif-  
ferent methods: maskable hardware interrupts as  
listed in the Interrupt Mapping Table and a non-  
maskable software interrupt (TRAP). The Interrupt  
processing flowchart is shown in Figure 14.  
The maskable interrupts must be enabled clearing  
the I bit in order to be serviced. However, disabled  
interrupts may be latched and processed when  
they are enabled (see external interrupts subsec-  
tion).  
Halt low power mode (refer to the “Exit from HALT“  
column in the Interrupt Mapping Table).  
External Interrupts  
External interrupt vectors can be loaded in the PC  
register if the corresponding external interrupt oc-  
curred and if the I bit is cleared. These interrupts  
allow the processor to leave the Halt low power  
mode.  
When an interrupt has to be serviced:  
The external interrupt polarity is selected through  
the miscellaneous register or interrupt register (if  
available).  
– Normal processing is suspended at the end of  
the current instruction execution.  
External interrupt triggered on edge will be latched  
and the interrupt request automatically cleared  
upon entering the interrupt service routine.  
– The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto  
the stack.  
– The I bit of the CC register is set to prevent addi-  
tional interrupts.  
If more than one input pin of a group connected to  
the same interrupt line is selected simultaneously,  
this will be logically ORed.  
– The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of  
the interrupt to service and the first instruction of  
the interrupt service routine is fetched (refer to  
the Interrupt Mapping Table for vector address-  
es).  
Warning: The type of sensitivity defined in the  
Miscellaneous or Interrupt register (if available)  
applies to the EI source. In case of an ORed  
source (as described on the I/O ports section). A  
low level on an I/O pin configured as input with in-  
terrupt, masks the interrupt request even in case  
of rising-edge sensitivity.  
The interrupt service routine should finish with the  
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the  
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.  
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,  
the I bit will be cleared and the main program will  
resume.  
Peripheral Interrupts  
Different peripheral interrupt flags in the status  
register are able to cause an interrupt when they  
are active if both:  
Priority management  
By default, a servicing interrupt can not be inter-  
rupted because the I bit is set by hardware enter-  
ing in interrupt routine.  
– The I bit of the CC register is cleared.  
– The corresponding enable bit is set in the control  
register.  
In the case several interrupts are simultaneously  
pending, an hardware priority defines which one  
will be serviced first (see the Interrupt Mapping Ta-  
ble).  
If any of these two conditions is false, the interrupt  
is latched and thus remains pending.  
Clearing an interrupt request is done by:  
Non Maskable Software Interrupts  
– writing “0” to the corresponding bit in the status  
register or  
This interrupt is entered when the TRAP instruc-  
tion is executed regardless of the state of the I bit.  
It will be serviced according to the flowchart on  
Figure 14.  
– an access to the status register while the flag is  
set followed by a read or write of an associated  
register.  
Note: the clearing sequence resets the internal  
latch. A pending interrupt (i.e. waiting for being en-  
abled) will therefore be lost if the clear sequence is  
executed.  
Interrupts and Low power mode  
All interrupts allow the processor to leave the Wait  
low power mode. Only external and specific men-  
tioned interrupts allow the processor to leave the

Wait mode places the MCU in a low power con-  
sumption mode by stopping the CPU. All peripher-

Register) is cleared, so as to enable all interrupts.  
All other registers and memory remain unchanged.  
The MCU will remain in Wait mode until an Inter-  
rupt or Reset occurs, whereupon the Program  
Counter branches to the starting address of the In-  
terrupt or Reset Service Routine.

3.4.4 Halt Mode  
Figure 16. HALT Flow Chart  
The Halt mode is the MCU lowest power con-  
sumption mode. The Halt mode is entered by exe-  
cuting the HALT instruction. The internal oscillator  
is then turned off, causing all internal processing to  
be stopped, including the operation of the on-chip  
peripherals. The Halt mode cannot be used when  
the watchdog is enabled, if the HALT instruction is  
executed while the watchdog system is enabled, a  
watchdog reset is generated thus resetting the en-  
tire MCU.  
When entering Halt mode, the I bit in the CC Reg-  
ister is cleared so as to enable External Interrupts.  
If an interrupt occurs, the CPU becomes active.  
The MCU can exit the Halt mode upon reception of  
an interrupt or a reset. Refer to the Interrupt Map-  
ping Table. The oscillator is then turned on and a  
stabilization time is provided before releasing CPU  
operation. The stabilization time is 4096 CPU clock  
cycles.

4 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS  
4.1 I/O PORTS  
4.1.1 Introduction  
Interrupt function  
The I/O ports offer different functional modes:  
– transfer of data through digital inputs and outputs  
and for specific pins:  
When an I/O is configured in Input with Interrupt,  
an event on this I/O can generate an external In-  
terrupt request to the CPU. The interrupt polarity is  
given independently according to the description  
mentioned in the Miscellaneous register or in the  
interrupt register (where available).  
– analog signal input (ADC)  
– alternate signal input/output for the on-chip pe-  
ripherals.  
Each pin can independently generate an Interrupt  
request.  
– external interrupt generation  
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedi-  
cated group of I/O port pins (see Interrupts sec-  
tion). If more than one input pin is selected simul-  
taneously as interrupt source, this is logically  
ORed. For this reason if one of the interrupt pins is  
tied low, it masks the other ones.  
An I/O port is composed of up to 8 pins. Each pin  
can be programmed independently as digital input  
(with or without interrupt generation) or digital out-  
put.  
4.1.2 Functional Description  
Each port is associated to 2 main registers:  
– Data Register (DR)  
4.1.2.2 Output Mode  
The pin is configured in output mode by setting the  
corresponding DDR register bit.  
– Data Direction Register (DDR)  
and some of them to an optional register:  
– Option Register (OR)  
In this mode, writing “0” or “1” to the DR register  
applies this digital value to the I/O pin through the  
latch. Then reading the DR register returns the  
previously stored value.  
Each I/O pin may be programmed using the corre-  
sponding register bits in DDR and OR registers: bit  
X corresponding to pin X of the port. The same cor-  
respondence is used for the DR register.  
Note: In this mode, the interrupt function is disa-  
bled.  
4.1.2.3 Digital Alternate Function  
The following description takes into account the  
OR register, for specific ports which do not provide  
this register refer to the I/O Port Implementation  
Section 4.1.2.5. The generic I/O block diagram is  
shown on Figure 18.  
When an on-chip peripheral is configured to use a  
pin, the alternate function is automatically select-  
ed. This alternate function takes priority over  
standard I/O programming. When the signal is  
coming from an on-chip peripheral, the I/O pin is  
automatically configured in output mode (push-pull  
or open drain according to the peripheral).  
4.1.2.1 Input Modes  
The input configuration is selected by clearing the  
corresponding DDR register bit.  
When the signal is going to an on-chip peripheral,  
the I/O pin has to be configured in input mode. In  
this case, the pin’s state is also digitally readable  
by addressing the DR register.  
In this case, reading the DR register returns the  
digital value applied to the external I/O pin.  
Different input modes can be selected by software  
through the OR register.  
Notes:  
1. Input pull-up configuration can cause an unex-  
pected value at the input of the alternate peripher-  
al input.  
2. When the on-chip peripheral uses a pin as input  
and output, this pin must be configured as an input  
(DDR = 0).  
Notes:  
1. All the inputs are triggered by a Schmitt trigger.  
2. When switching from input mode to output  
mode, the DR register should be written first to  
output the correct value as soon as the port is con-  
figured as an output.  
Warning: The alternate function must not be acti-  
vated as long as the pin is configured as input with  
interrupt, in order to avoid generating spurious in-  
terrupts.

I/O PORTS (Cont’d)  
4.1.2.4 Analog Alternate Function  
4.1.2.5 I/O Port Implementation  
When the pin is used as an ADC input the I/O must  
be configured as input, floating. The analog multi-  
plexer (controlled by the ADC registers) switches  
the analog voltage present on the selected pin to  
the common analog rail which is connected to the  
ADC input.  
The hardware implementation on each I/O port de-  
pends on the settings in the DDR and OR registers  
and specific feature of the I/O port such as ADC In-  
put (see Figure 18) or true open drain. Switching  
these I/O ports from one state to another should  
be done in a sequence that prevents unwanted  
side effects. Recommended safe transitions are il-  
lustrated in Figure 17. Other transitions are poten-  
tially risky and should be avoided, since they are  
likely to present unwanted side-effects such as  
spurious interrupt generation.  
It is recommended not to change the voltage level  
or loading on any port pin while conversion is in  
progress. Furthermore it is recommended not to  
have clocking pins located close to a selected an-  
alog pin.  
Warning: The analog input voltage level must be  
within the limits stated in the Absolute Maximum  
Ratings.

4.2 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)  
4.2.1 Introduction  
4.2.2 Main Features  
Programmable timer (64 increments of 12288  
CPU cycles)  
Programmable reset  
Reset (if watchdog activated) after a HALT  
instruction or when the T6 bit reaches zero  
Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte.  
The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occur-  
rence of a software fault, usually generated by ex-  
ternal interference or by unforeseen logical condi-  
tions, which causes the application program to  
abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir-  
cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a pro-  
grammed time period, unless the program refresh-  
es the counter’s contents before the T6 bit be-  
comes cleared.

Read/Write  
The counter value stored in the CR register (bits  
T6:T0), is decremented every 12,288 machine cy-  
cles, and the length of the timeout period can be  
programmed by the user in 64 increments.  
Reset Value: 0111 1111 (7Fh)  
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)  
and when the 7-bit timer (bits T6:T0) rolls over  
from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates  
a reset cycle pulling low the reset pin for typically  
500ns.

Bit 7 = WDGA Activation bit.  
The application program must write in the CR reg-  
ister at regular intervals during normal operation to  
prevent an MCU reset. The value to be stored in  
the CR register must be between FFh and C0h  
(see Table 12):  
This bit is set by software and only cleared by  
hardware after a reset. When WDGA = 1, the  
watchdog can generate a reset.  
0: Watchdog disabled  
1: Watchdog enabled  
– The WDGA bit is set (watchdog enabled)  
Note: This bit is not used if the hardware watch-  
dog otion is enabled by option byte.  
– The T6 bit is set to prevent generating an imme-  
diate reset  
Bit 6-0 = T[6:0] 7-bit timer (MSB to LSB).  
These bits contain the decremented value. A reset  
is produced when it rolls over from 40h to 3Fh (T6  
become cleared).  
– The T5:T0 bits contain the number of increments  
which represents the time delay before the  
watchdog produces a reset.

Bit 0 = WDOGF Watchdog flag.  
This bit is set by a watchdog reset and cleared by  
software or a power on/off reset. This bit is useful  
for distinguishing power/on off or external reset  
and watchdog reset.  
The T6 bit can be used to generate a software re-  
set (the WDGA bit is set and the T6 bit is cleared).  
If the watchdog is activated, the HALT instruction  
will generate a Reset.

4.3 16-BIT TIMER  
4.3.1 Introduction  
The timer consists of a 16-bit free-running counter  
driven by a programmable prescaler.  
4.3.3 Functional Description  
4.3.3.1 Counter  
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including  
pulse length measurement of up to two input sig-  
nals (input capture) or generation of up to two out-  
put waveforms (output compare and PWM).  
The principal block of the Programmable Timer is  
a 16-bit free running increasing counter and its as-  
sociated 16-bit registers:  
Counter Registers  
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be mod-  
ulated from a few microseconds to several milli-  
seconds using the timer prescaler and the CPU  
clock prescaler.  
– Counter High Register (CHR) is the most sig-  
nificant byte (MSB).  
– Counter Low Register (CLR) is the least sig-  
nificant byte (LSB).  
Alternate Counter Registers  
4.3.2 Main Features  
– Alternate Counter High Register (ACHR) is the  
most significant byte (MSB).  
Programmableprescaler:fCPU dividedby 2, 4or8.  
Overflow status flag and maskable interrupt  
External clock input (must be at least 4 times  
slower than the CPUclock speed) with the choice  
of active edge  
Output compare functions with  
– 2 dedicated 16-bit registers  
– 2 dedicated programmable signals  
– 2 dedicated status flags  
– Alternate Counter Low Register (ACLR) is the  
least significant byte (LSB).  
These two read-only 16-bit registers contain the  
same value but with the difference that reading the  
ACLR register does not clear the TOF bit (overflow  
flag), (see note at the end of paragraph titled 16-bit  
read sequence).  
Writing in the CLR register or ACLR register resets  
the free running counter to the FFFCh value.  
– 1 dedicated maskable interrupt  
Input capture functions with  
The timer clock depends on the clock control bits  
of the CR2 register, as illustrated in Table 14. The  
value in the counter register repeats every  
131.072, 262.144 or 524.288 internal processor-  
clock cycles depending on the CC1 and CC0 bits.  
– 2 dedicated 16-bit registers  
– 2 dedicated active edge selection signals  
– 2 dedicated status flags  
– 1 dedicated maskable interrupt  
Pulse width modulation mode (PWM)  
One pulse mode  
5 alternate functions on I/O ports (ICAP1, ICAP2,  
OCMP1, OCMP2, EXTCLK)*  
The Block Diagram is shown in Figure 20.  
*Note: Some external pins are not available on all  
devices. Refer to the device pin out description.  
When reading an input signal which is not availa-  
ble on an external pin, the value will always be ‘1’.

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)  
16-bit read sequence: (from either the Counter  
Register or the Alternate Counter Register).  
Clearing the overflow interrupt request is done in  
two steps:  
1. Reading the SR register while the TOF bit is set.  
2. An access (read or write) to the CLR register.  
Beginning of the sequence  
Notes: The TOF bit is not cleared by accesses to  
ACLR register. This feature allows simultaneous  
use of the overflow function and reads of the free  
running counter at random times (for example, to  
measure elapsed time) without the risk of clearing  
the TOF bit erroneously.  
Read MSB  
At t0  
LSB is buffered  
Other  
instructions  
Returns the buffered  
LSB value at t0  
The timer is not affected by WAIT mode.  
Read LSB  
At t0 +t  
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until the  
mode is exited. Counting then resumes from the  
previous count (MCU awakened by an interrupt) or  
from the reset count (MCU awakened by a Reset).  
Sequence completed  
The user must read the MSB first, then the LSB  
value is buffered automatically.  
This buffered value remains unchanged until the  
16-bit read sequence is completed, even if the  
user reads the MSB several times.  
4.3.3.2 External Clock  
The external clock (where available) is selected if  
CC0=1 and CC1=1 in CR2 register.  
After a complete reading sequence, if only the  
CLR register or ACLR register are read, they re-  
turn the LSB of the count value at the time of the  
read.  
The status of the EXEDG bit determines the type  
of level transition on the external clock pin EXT-  
CLK that will trigger the free running counter.  
The counter is synchronised with the falling edge  
of the internal CPU clock.  
An overflow occurs when the counter rolls over  
from FFFFh to 0000h then:  
At least four falling edges of the CPU clock must  
occur between two consecutive active edges of  
the external clock; thus the external clock frequen-  
cy must be less than a quarter of the CPU clock  
frequency.  
– The TOF bit of the SR register is set.  
– A timer interrupt is generated if:  
– TOIE bit of the CR1 register is set and  
– I bit of the CC register is cleared.  
If one of these conditions is false, the interrupt re-  
mains pending to be issued as soon as they are  
both true.

4.3.3.3 Input Capture  
When an input capture occurs:  
– ICFi bit is set.  
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2.  
The two input capture 16-bit registers (IC1R and  
IC2R) are used to latch the value of the free run-  
ning counter after a transition detected by the  
ICAPi pin (see figure 5).  
– The ICiR register contains the value of the free  
running counter on the active transition on the  
ICAPi pin (see Figure 25).  
– A timer interrupt is generated if the ICIE bit is set  
and the I bit is cleared in the CC register. Other-  
wise, the interrupt remains pending until both  
conditions become true.  
MS Byte  
ICiHR  
LS Byte  
ICiLR  
ICiR  
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request is  
done in two steps:  
ICi Rregister is a read-only register.  
The active transition is software programmable  
through the IEDGi bit of the Control Register (CRi).  
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.  
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.  
Timing resolution is one count of the free running  
counter: (f  
/(CC1.CC0)).  
CPU  
Procedure  
Note: After reading the ICiHR register, transfer of  
input capture data is inhibited until the ICiLR regis-  
ter is also read.  
To use the input capture function select the follow-  
ing in the CR2 register:  
The ICiR register always contains the free running  
counter value which corresponds to the most re-  
cent input capture.  
– Select the timer clock (CC1-CC0) (see Table  
14).  
During HALT mode, if at least one valid input cap-  
ture edge occurs on the ICAPi pin, the input cap-  
ture detection circuitry is armed. This does not set  
any timer flags, and does not “wake-up” the MCU.  
If the MCU is awoken by an interrupt, the input  
capture flag will become active, and data corre-  
sponding to the first valid edge during HALT mode  
will be present.  
– Select the edge of the active transition on the  
ICAP2 pin with the IEDG2 bit.  
And select the following in the CR1 register:  
– Set the ICIE bit to generate an interrupt after an  
input capture.  
– Select the edge of the active transition on the  
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit.

4.3.3.4 Output Compare  
Clearing the output compare interrupt request is  
done by:  
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2.  
1. Reading the SR register while the OCFi bit is  
set.  
This function can be used to control an output  
waveform or indicating when a period of time has  
elapsed.  
2. An access (read or write) to the OCiLR register.  
When a match is found between the Output Com-  
pare register and the free running counter, the out-  
put compare function:  
Note: After a processor write cycle to the OCiHR  
register, the output compare function is inhibited  
until the OCiLR register is also written.  
– Assigns pins with a programmable value if the  
OCIE bit is set  
If the OCiE bit is not set, the OCMPi pin is a gen-  
eral I/O port and the OLVLi bit will not appear  
when a match is found but an interrupt could be  
generated if the OCIE bit is set.  
– Sets a flag in the status register  
– Generates an interrupt if enabled  
Two 16-bit registers Output Compare Register 1  
(OC1R) and Output Compare Register 2 (OC2R)  
contain the value to be compared to the free run-  
ning counter each timer clock cycle.  
The value in the 16-bit OCiR register and the OLVi  
bit should be changed after each successful com-  
parison in order to control an output waveform or  
establish a new elapsed timeout.  
MS Byte  
OCiHR  
LS Byte  
OCiLR  
When the clock is divided by 2, OCFi and OCMPi  
are set while the counter value equals the OCiR  
register value (see Figure 27, on page 38). This  
behaviour is the same in OPM or PWM mode.  
OCiR  
These registers are readable and writable and are  
not affected by the timer hardware. A reset event  
changes the OCiR value to 8000h.  
When the clock is divided by 4, 8 or in external  
clock mode , OCFi and OCMPi are set while the  
counter value equals the OCiR register value plus  
1 (see Figure 28, on page 38).  
Timing resolution is one count of the free running  
counter: (f  
).  
CPU/(CC1.CC0)  
Procedure  
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-  
ing application can be calculated using the follow-  
ing formula:  
To use the output compare function, select the fol-  
lowing in the CR2 register:  
– Set the OCiE bit if an output is needed then the  
OCMPi pin is dedicated to the output compare i  
function.  
t f  
* CPU  
OCiR =  
t
PRESC  
Where:  
– Select the timer clock (CC1-CC0) (see Table  
14).  
t  
= Desired output compare period (in  
seconds)  
And select the following in the CR1 register:  
f
= Internal clock frequency  
CPU  
– Select the OLVLi bit to applied to the OCMPi pins  
after the match occurs.  
t
= Timer clock prescaler (CC1-CC0 bits,  
see Table 14)  
PRESC  
– Set the OCIE bit to generate an interrupt if it is  
needed.  
The following procedure is recommended to pre-  
vent the OCFi bit from being set between the time  
it is read and the write to the OCiR register:  
When a match is found:  
– OCFi bit is set.  
– Write to the OCiHR register (further compares  
are inhibited).  
– The OCMPi pin takes OLVLi bit value (OCMPi  
pin latch is forced low during reset and stays low  
until valid compares change it to a high level).  
– Read the SR register (first step of the clearance  
of the OCFi bit, which may be already set).  
– A timer interrupt is generated if the OCIE bit is  
set in the CR2 register and the I bit is cleared in  
the CC register (CC).  
– Write to the OCiLR register (enables the output  
compare function and clears the OCFi bit).

– Select the timer clock CC1-CC0 (see Table  
14).

When the FOLVi bit is set, the OLVLi bit is copied  
to the OCMPi pin. The OLVi bit has to be toggled  
in order to toggle the OCMPi pin when it is enabled  
(OCiE bit=1).  
OCMP1 = OLVL2  
OCMP1 = OLVL1  
The OCFi bit is not set, and thus no interrupt re-  
quest is generated.  
When  
Counter  
= OC1R  
4.3.3.6 One Pulse Mode  
One Pulse mode enables the generation of a  
pulse when an external event occurs. This mode is  
selected via the OPM bit in the CR2 register.  
The one pulse mode uses the Input Capture1  
function and the Output Compare1 function.  
Then, on a valid event on the ICAP1 pin, the coun-  
ter is initialized to FFFCh and OLVL2 bit is loaded  
on the OCMP1 pin. When the value of the counter  
is equal to the value of the contents of the OC1R  
register, the OLVL1 bit is output on the OCMP1  
pin, (See Figure 29).  
Procedure  
To use one pulse mode:  
1. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-  
sponding to the length of the pulse (see the for-  
mula in Section 4.3.3.7).  
2. Select the following in the the CR1 register:  
Note: The OCF1 bit cannot be set by hardware in  
one pulse mode but the OCF2 bit can generate an  
Output Compare interrupt.  
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin after the pulse.  
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin during the pulse.  
The ICF1 bit is set when an active edge occurs  
and can generate an interrupt if the ICIE bit is set.  
– Select the edge of the active transition on the  
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit.  
When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and  
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the  
PWM mode is the only active one.  
3. Select the following in the CR2 register:  
– Set the OC1E bit, the OCMP1 pin is then ded-  
icated to the Output Compare 1 function.  
– Set the OPM bit.

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)  
4.3.3.7 Pulse Width Modulation Mode  
Where:  
– t = Desired output compare period (seconds)  
– f = Internal clock frequency (see Miscella-  
Pulse Width Modulation mode enables the gener-  
ation of a signal with a frequency and pulse length  
determined by the value of the OC1R and OC2R  
registers.  
CPU  
neous register)  
t  
= Timer clock prescaler (CC1-CC0  
bits , see Table 14)  
PRESC  
The pulse width modulation mode uses the com-  
plete Output Compare 1 function plus the OC2R  
register.  
The Output Compare 2 event causes the counter  
to be initialized to FFFCh (See Figure 30).  
Procedure  
To use pulse width modulation mode:  
Pulse Width Modulation cycle  
When  
1. Load the OC2R register with the value corre-  
sponding to the period of the signal.  
2. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-  
sponding to the length of the pulse if (OLVL1=0  
and OLVL2=1).  
Counter  
= OC1R  
OCMP1 = OLVL1  
3. Select the following in the CR1 register:  
OCMP1 = OLVL2  
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful  
comparison with OC1R register.  
When  
Counter  
= OC2R  
Counter is reset  
to FFFCh  
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful  
comparison with OC2R register.  
ICF1 bit is set  
4. Select the following in the CR2 register:  
Note: After a write instruction to the OCiHR regis-  
ter, the output compare function is inhibited until  
the OCiLR register is also written.  
– Set OC1E bit: the OCMP1 pin is then dedicat-  
ed to the output compare 1 function.  
– Set the PWM bit.  
The ICF1 bit is set by hardware when the counter  
reaches the OC2R value and can produce a timer  
interrupt if the ICIE bit is set and the I bit is cleared.  
– Select the timer clock (CC1-CC0) (see Table  
14).  
If OLVL1=1 and OLVL2=0 the length of the pulse  
is the difference between the OC2R and OC1R  
registers.  
Therefore the Input Capture 1 function is inhibited  
but the Input Capture 2 is available.  
The OCF1 and OCF2 bits cannot be set by hard-  
ware in PWM mode therefore the Output Compare  
interrupt is inhibited.  
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-  
ing application can be calculated using the follow-  
ing formula:  
When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and  
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the  
PWM mode is the only active one.

4.4 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (SCI)  
4.4.1 Introduction  
4.4.3 General Description  
The Serial Communications Interface (SCI) offers  
a flexible means of full-duplex data exchange with  
external equipment requiring an industry standard  
NRZ asynchronous serial data format. The SCI of-  
fers a very wide range of baud rates using two  
baud rate generator systems.  
The interface is externally connected to another  
device by two pins (see Figure 32):  
– TDO: Transmit Data Output. When the transmit-  
ter is disabled, the output pin returns to its I/O  
port configuration. When the transmitter is ena-  
bled and nothing is to be transmitted, the TDO  
pin is at high level.  
4.4.2 Main Features  
Full duplex, asynchronous communications  
NRZ standard format (Mark/Space)  
Dual baud rate generator systems  
Independently programmable transmit and  
receive baud rates up to 250K baud.  
Programmable data word length (8 or 9 bits)  
Receive buffer full, Transmit buffer empty and  
End of Transmission flags  
– RDI: Receive Data Input is the serial data input.  
Oversampling techniques are used for data re-  
covery by discriminating between valid incoming  
data and noise.  
Through this pins, serial data is transmitted and re-  
ceived as frames comprising:  
– An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception  
– A start bit  
– A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first  
– A Stop bit indicating that the frame is complete.  
Thisinterfaceusestwotypesofbaudrategenerator:  
Two receiver wake-up modes:  
– Address bit (MSB)  
– Idle line  
Muting function for multiprocessor configurations  
Separate enable bits for Transmitter and  
Receiver  
Three error detection flags:  
– Overrun error  
– A conventional type for commonly-used baud  
rates,  
– An extended type with a prescaler offering a very  
wide range of baud rates even with non-standard  
oscillator frequencies.  
– Noise error  
– Frame error  
Five interrupt sources with flags:  
– Transmit data register empty  
– Transmission complete  
– Receive data register full  
– Idle line received  
– Overrun error detected

4.4.4 Functional Description  
4.4.4.1 Serial Data Format  
The block diagram of the Serial Control Interface,  
is shown in Figure 31. It contains 6 dedicated reg-  
isters:  
Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9  
bits by programming the M bit in the CR1 register  
(see Figure 31).  
– Two control registers (CR1 & CR2)  
– A status register (SR)  
The TDO pin is in low state during the start bit.  
The TDO pin is in high state during the stop bit.  
– A baud rate register (BRR)  
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame  
of “1”s followed by the start bit of the next frame  
which contains data.  
– An extended prescaler receiver register (ERPR)  
– Anextendedprescalertransmitterregister(ETPR)  
A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s  
for some multiple of the frame period. At the end of  
the last break frame the transmitter inserts an ex-  
tra “1” bit to acknowledge the start bit.  
Refer to the register descriptions in Section  
4.4.5for the definitions of each bit.  
Transmission and reception are driven by their  
own baud rate generator.

4.4.4.2 Transmitter  
When a frame transmission is complete (after the  
stop bit or after the break frame) the TC bit is set  
and an interrupt is generated if the TCIE is set and  
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.  
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or  
9 bits depending on the M bit status. When the M  
bit is set, word length is 9 bits and the 9th bit (the  
MSB) has to be stored in the T8 bit in the CR1 reg-  
ister.  
Clearing the TC bit is performed by the following  
software sequence:  
1. An access to the SR register  
2. A write to the DR register  
Character Transmission  
During an SCI transmission, data shifts out least  
significant bit first on the TDO pin. In this mode,  
the DR register consists of a buffer (TDR) between  
the internal bus and the transmit shift register (see  
Figure 31).  
Note: The TDRE and TC bits are cleared by the  
same software sequence.  
Break Characters  
Setting the SBK bit loads the shift register with a  
break character. The break frame length depends  
on the M bit (see Figure 32).  
Procedure  
– Select the M bit to define the word length.  
As long as the SBK bit is set, the SCI send break  
frames to the TDO pin. After clearing this bit by  
software the SCI insert a logic 1 bit at the end of  
the last break frame to guarantee the recognition  
of the start bit of the next frame.  
– Select the desired baud rate using the BRR and  
the ETPR registers.  
– Set the TE bit to assign the TDO pin to the alter-  
nate function and to send a idle frame as first  
transmission.  
Idle Characters  
– Access the SR register and write the data to  
send in the DR register (this sequence clears the  
TDRE bit). Repeat this sequence for each data to  
be transmitted.  
Setting the TE bit drives the SCI to send an idle  
frame before the first data frame.  
Clearing and then setting the TE bit during a trans-  
mission sends an idle frame after the current word.  
Clearing the TDRE bit is always performed by the  
following software sequence:  
1. An access to the SR register  
Note: Resetting and setting the TE bit causes the  
data in the TDR register to be lost. Therefore the  
best time to toggle the TE bit is when the TDRE bit  
is set i.e. before writing the next byte in the DR.  
2. A write to the DR register  
The TDRE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:  
– The TDR register is empty.  
– The data transfer is beginning.  
– The next data can be written in the DR register  
without overwriting the previous data.  
This flag generates an interrupt if the TIE bit is set  
and the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.  
When a transmission is taking place, a write in-  
struction to the DR register stores the data in the  
TDR register and which is copied in the shift regis-  
ter at the end of the current transmission.  
When no transmission is taking place, a write in-  
struction to the DR register places the data directly  
in the shift register, the data transmission starts,  
and the TDRE bit is immediately set.

4.4.4.3 Receiver  
Overrun Error  
The SCI can receive data words of either 8 or 9  
bits. When the M bit is set, word length is 9 bits  
and the MSB is stored in the R8 bit in the CR1 reg-  
ister.  
An overrun error occurs when a character is re-  
ceived when RDRF has not been reset. Data can  
not be transferred from the shift register to the  
TDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not  
cleared.  
Character reception  
When a overrun error occurs:  
– The OR bit is set.  
During a SCI reception, data shifts in least signifi-  
cant bit first through the RDI pin. In this mode, DR  
register consists in a buffer (RDR) between the in-  
ternal bus and the received shift register (see Fig-  
ure 31).  
– The RDR content will not be lost.  
– The shift register will be overwritten.  
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and  
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.  
Procedure  
– Select the M bit to define the word length.  
The OR bit is reset by an access to the SR register  
followed by a DR register read operation.  
– Select the desired baud rate using the BRR and  
the ERPR registers.  
Noise Error  
– Set the RE bit, this enables the receiver which  
begins searching for a start bit.  
Oversampling techniques are used for data recov-  
ery by discriminating between valid incoming data  
and noise.  
When a character is received:  
– The RDRF bit is set. It indicates that the content  
of the shift register is transferred to the RDR.  
When noise is detected in a frame:  
– The NF is set at the rising edge of the RDRF bit.  
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and  
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.  
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the  
DR register.  
– The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise  
or an overrun error has been detected during re-  
ception.  
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises  
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself  
generates an interrupt.  
Clearing the RDRF bit is performed by the following  
software sequence done by:  
The NF bit is reset by a SR register read operation  
followed by a DR register read operation.  
1. An access to the SR register  
2. A read to the DR register.  
Framing Error  
A framing error is detected when:  
The RDRF bit must be cleared before the end of the  
reception of the next character to avoid an overrun  
error.  
– The stop bit is not recognized on reception at the  
expected time, following either a de-synchroni-  
zation or excessive noise.  
Break Character  
– A break is received.  
When a break character is received, the SPI han-  
dles it as a framing error.  
When the framing error is detected:  
– the FE bit is set by hardware  
Idle Character  
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the  
DR register.  
When a idle frame is detected, there is the same  
procedure as a data received character plus an in-  
terrupt if the ILIE bit is set and the I bit is cleared in  
the CCR register.  
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises  
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself  
generates an interrupt.  
The FE bit is reset by a SR register read operation  
followed by a DR register read operation.

thus reducing redundant SCI service overhead for  
all non addressed receivers.

The non addressed devices may be placed in  
sleep mode by means of the muting function.  
Setting the RWU bit by software puts the SCI in  
sleep mode:  
Note: the baud rate registers MUST NOT be  
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is en-  
abled.  
All the reception status bits can not be set.  
All the receive interrupt are inhibited.  
4.4.4.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation  
A muted receiver may be awakened by one of the  
following two ways:  
The extended prescaler option gives a very fine  
tuning on the baud rate, using a 255 value prescal-  
er, whereas the conventional Baud Rate Genera-  
tor retains industry standard software compatibili-  
ty.  
– by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,  
– by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.  
Receiver wakes-up by Idle Line detection when  
the Receive line has recognised an Idle Frame.  
Then the RWU bit is reset by hardware but the  
IDLE bit is not set.  
The extended baud rate generator block diagram  
is described in the Figure 33.  
The output clock rate sent to the transmitter or to  
the receiver will be the output from the 16 divider  
divided by a factor ranging from 1 to 255 set in the  
ERPR or the ETPR register.  
Receiver wakes-up by Address Mark detection  
when it received a “1” as the most significant bit of  
a word, thus indicating that the message is an ad-  
dress. The reception of this particular word wakes  
up the receiver, sets the RWU bit and sets the  
RDRF bit, which allows the receiver to receive this  
word normally and to use it as an address word.  
Note: the extended prescaler is activated by set-  
ting the ETPR or ERPR register to a value other

4.5 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)  
4.5.1 Introduction  
4.5.3 General description  
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows full-  
duplex, synchronous, serial communication with  
external devices. An SPI system may consist of a  
master and one or more slaves or a system in  
which devices may be either masters or slaves.  
The SPI is connected to external devices through  
4 alternate pins:  
– MISO: Master In Slave Out pin  
– MOSI: Master Out Slave In pin  
– SCK: Serial Clock pin  
The SPI is normally used for communication be-  
tween the microcontroller and external peripherals  
or another microcontroller.  
– SS: Slave select pin  
Refer to the Pin Description chapter for the device-  
specific pin-out.  
A basic example of interconnections between a  
single master and a single slave is illustrated on  
Figure 34.  
4.5.2 Main Features  
The MOSI pins are connected together as are  
MISO pins. In this way data is transferred serially  
between master and slave (most significant bit  
first).  
Full duplex, three-wire synchronous transfers  
Master or slave operation  
Four master mode frequencies  
Maximum slave mode frequency = fCPU/2.  
Four programmable master bit rates  
Programmable clock polarity and phase  
End of transfer interrupt flag  
When the master device transmits data to a slave  
device via MOSI pin, the slave device responds by  
sending data to the master device via the MISO  
pin. This implies full duplex transmission with both  
data out and data in synchronized with the same  
clock signal (which is provided by the master de-  
vice via the SCK pin).  
Write collision flag protection  
Master mode fault protection capability.  
Thus, the byte transmitted is replaced by the byte  
received and eliminates the need for separate  
transmit-empty and receiver-full bits. A status flag  
is used to indicate that the I/O operation is com-  
plete.  
Four possible data/clock timing relationships may  
be chosen (see Figure 37) but master and slave  
must be programmed with the same timing mode.

4.5.4 Functional Description  
Figure 34 shows the serial peripheral interface  
(SPI) block diagram.  
In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data output  
and to the MISO pin is a data input.  
This interface contains 3 dedicated registers:  
– A Control Register (CR)  
Transmit sequence  
– A Status Register (SR)  
The transmit sequence begins when a byte is writ-  
ten in the DR register.  
– A Data Register (DR)  
The data byte is parallel loaded into the 8-bit shift  
register (from the internal bus) during a write cycle  
and then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin most  
significant bit first.  
Refer to the CR, SR and DR registers in Section  
4.5.5for the bit definitions.  
4.5.4.1 Master Configuration  
In a master configuration, the serial clock is gener-  
ated on the SCK pin.  
When data transfer is complete:  
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware  
Procedure  
– An interrupt is generated if the SPIE bit is set  
and the I bit in the CCR register is cleared.  
– Select the SPR0 & SPR1 bits to define the se-  
rial clock baud rate (see CR register).  
During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is set, a  
copy of the data byte received in the shift register  
is moved to a buffer. When the DR register is read,  
the SPI peripheral returns this buffered value.  
– Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one  
of the four relationships between the data  
transfer and the serial clock (see Figure 37).  
– The SS pin must be connected to a high level  
signal during the complete byte transmit se-  
quence.  
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following  
software sequence:  
1. An access to the SR register while the SPIF bit  
is set  
– The MSTR and SPE bits must be set (they re-  
main set only if the SS pin is connected to a  
high level signal).  
2. A write or a read of the DR register.  
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the DR

4.5.4.2 Slave Configuration  
When data transfer is complete:  
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware  
In slave configuration, the serial clock is received  
on the SCK pin from the master device.  
– An interrupt is generated if SPIE bit is set and  
I bit in CCR register is cleared.  
The value of the SPR0 & SPR1 bits is not used for  
the data transfer.  
During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is set, a  
copy of the data byte received in the shift register  
is moved to a buffer. When the DR register is read,  
the SPI peripheral returns this buffered value.  
Procedure  
– For correct data transfer, the slave device  
must be in the same timing mode as the mas-  
ter device (CPOL and CPHA bits). See Figure  
37.  
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following  
software sequence:  
1. An access to the SR register while the SPIF bit  
is set.  
– The SS pin must be connected to a low level  
signal during the complete byte transmit se-  
quence.  
2. A write or a read of the DR register.  
– Clear the MSTR bit and set the SPE bit to as-  
sign the pins to alternate function.  
Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the  
DR register are inhibited until the SR register is  
read.  
In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data input  
and the MISO pin is a data output.  
The SPIF bit can be cleared during a second  
transmission; however, it must be cleared before  
the second SPIF bit in order to prevent an overrun  
condition (see Section 4.5.4.6).  
Transmit Sequence  
The data byte is parallel loaded into the 8-bit shift  
register (from the internal bus) during a write cycle  
and then shifted out serially to the MISO pin most  
significant bit first.  
Depending on the CPHA bit, the SS pin has to be  
set to write to the DR register between each data  
byte transfer to avoid a write collision (see Section  
4.5.4.4).  
The transmit sequence begins when the slave de-  
vice receives the clock signal and the most signifi-  
cant bit of the data on its MOSI pin.

4.5.4.3 Data Transfer Format  
The master device applies data to its MOSI pin-  
clock edge before the capture clock edge.  
During an SPI transfer, data is simultaneously  
transmitted (shifted out serially) and received  
(shifted in serially). The serial clock is used to syn-  
chronize the data transfer during a sequence of  
eight clock pulses.  
CPHA bit is set  
The second edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if  
the CPOL bit is reset, rising edge if the CPOL bit is  
set) is the MSBit capture strobe. Data is latched on  
the occurrence of the first clock transition.  
The SS pin allows individual selection of a slave  
device; the other slave devices that are not select-  
ed do not interfere with the SPI transfer.  
No write collision should occur even if the SS pin  
stays low during a transfer of several bytes (see  
Figure 36).  
Clock Phase and Clock Polarity  
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen  
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits.  
CPHA bit is reset  
The CPOL (clock polarity) bit controls the steady  
state value of the clock when no data is being  
transferred. This bit affects both master and slave  
modes.  
The first edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if CPOL  
bit is set, rising edge if CPOL bit is reset) is the  
MSBit capture strobe. Data is latched on the oc-  
currence of the second clock transition.  
The combination between the CPOL and CPHA  
(clock phase) bits selects the data capture clock  
edge.  
This pin must be toggled high and low between  
each byte transmitted (see Figure 36).  
To protect the transmission from a write collision a  
low value on the SS pin of a slave device freezes  
the data in its DR register and does not allow it to  
be altered. Therefore the SS pin must be high to  
write a new data byte in the DR without producing  
a write collision.  
Figure 37, shows an SPI transfer with the four  
combinations of the CPHA and CPOL bits. The di-  
agram may be interpreted as a master or slave  
timing diagram where the SCK pin, the MISO pin,  
the MOSI pin are directly connected between the  
master and the slave device.  
The SS pin is the slave device select input and can  
be driven by the master device.

4.5.4.4 Write Collision Error  
When the CPHA bit is reset:  
A write collision occurs when the software tries to  
write to the DR register while a data transfer is tak-  
ing place with an external device. When this hap-  
pens, the transfer continues uninterrupted; and  
the software write will be unsuccessful.  
Data is latched on the occurrence of the first clock  
transition. The slave device does not have any  
way of knowing when that transition will occur;  
therefore, the slave device collision occurs when  
software attempts to write the DR register after its  
SS pin has been pulled low.  
Write collisions can occur both in master and slave  
mode.  
For this reason, the SS pin must be high, between  
each data byte transfer, to allow the CPU to write  
in the DR register without generating a write colli-  
sion.  
Note: a "read collision" will never occur since the  
received data byte is placed in a buffer in which  
access is always synchronous with the MCU oper-  
ation.  
In Slave mode  
In Master mode  
When the CPHA bit is set:  
Collision in the master device is defined as a write  
of the DR register while the internal serial clock  
(SCK) is in the process of transfer.  
The slave device will receive a clock (SCK) edge  
prior to the latch of the first data transfer. This first  
clock edge will freeze the data in the slave device  
DR register and output the MSBit on to the exter-  
nal MISO pin of the slave device.  
The SS pin signal must be always high on the  
master device.  
The SS pin low state enables the slave device but  
the output of the MSBit onto the MISO pin does  
not take place until the first data transfer clock  
edge.  
WCOL bit  
The WCOL bit in the SR register is set if a write  
collision occurs.  
No SPI interrupt is generated when the WCOL bit  
is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only).  
Clearing the WCOL bit is done through a software  
sequence (see Figure 38).

4.5.4.5 Master Mode Fault  
may be restored to their original state during or af-  
ter this clearing sequence.  
Master mode fault occurs when the master device  
has its SS pin pulled low, then the MODF bit is set.  
Hardware does not allow the user to set the SPE  
and MSTR bits while the MODF bit is set except in  
the MODF bit clearing sequence.  
Master mode fault affects the SPI peripheral in the  
following ways:  
In a slave device the MODF bit can not be set, but  
in a multi master configuration the device can be in  
slave mode with this MODF bit set.  
– The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt is  
generated if the SPIE bit is set.  
– The SPE bit is reset. This blocks all output  
from the device and disables the SPI periph-  
eral.  
The MODF bit indicates that there might have  
been a multi-master conflict for system control and  
allows a proper exit from system operation to a re-  
set or default system state using an interrupt rou-  
tine.  
– The MSTR bit is reset, thus forcing the device  
into slave mode.  
Clearing the MODF bit is done through a software  
sequence:  
4.5.4.6 Overrun Condition  
An overrun condition occurs, when the master de-  
vice has sent several data bytes and the slave de-  
vice has not cleared the SPIF bit issuing from the  
previous data byte transmitted.  
1. A read or write access to the SR register while  
the MODF bit is set.  
2. A write to the CR register.  
In this case, the receiver buffer contains the byte  
sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read to  
the DR register returns this byte. All other bytes  
are lost.  
Notes: To avoid any multiple slave conflicts in the  
case of a system comprising several MCUs, the  
SS pin must be pulled high during the clearing se-  
quence of the MODF bit. The SPE and MSTR bits  
This condition is not detected by the SPI peripher-  
al.

4.5.4.7 Single Master and Multimaster Configurations  
There are two types of SPI systems:  
– Single Master System  
For more security, the slave device may respond  
to the master with the received data byte. Then the  
master will receive the previous byte back from the  
slave device if all MISO and MOSI pins are con-  
nected and the slave has not written its DR regis-  
ter.  
– Multimaster System  
Single Master System  
Other transmission security methods can use  
ports for handshake lines or data bytes with com-  
mand fields.  
A typical single master system may be configured,  
using an MCU as the master and four MCUs as  
slaves (see Figure 39).  
Multi-master System  
The master device selects the individual slave de-  
vices by using four pins of a parallel port to control  
the four SS pins of the slave devices.  
A multi-master system may also be configured by  
the user. Transfer of master control could be im-  
plemented using a handshake method through the  
I/O ports or by an exchange of code messages  
through the serial peripheral interface system.  
The SS pins are pulled high during reset since the  
master device ports will be forced to be inputs at  
that time, thus disabling the slave devices.  
The multi-master system is principally handled by  
the MSTR bit in the CR register and the MODF bit  
in the SR register.  
Note: To prevent a bus conflict on the MISO line  
the master allows only one slave device during a  
transmission.

vided in two sub-modes called long and short:  
The ST7 Core features 17 different addressing  
modes which can be classified in 7 main groups:  
– Long addressing mode is more powerful be-  
cause it can use the full 64 Kbyte address space,  
however it uses more bytes and more CPU cy-  
cles.

Using a pre-byte  
The instructions are described with one to four  
bytes.  
These prebytes enable instruction in Y as well as  
indirect addressing modes to be implemented.  
They precede the opcode of the instruction in X or  
the instruction using direct addressing mode. The  
prebytes are:  
In order to extend the number of available op-  
codes for an 8-bit CPU (256 opcodes), three differ-  
ent prebyte opcodes are defined. These prebytes  
modify the meaning of the instruction they pre-  
cede.  
PDY 90  
Replace an X based instruction  
using immediate, direct, indexed, or inherent ad-  
dressing mode by a Y one.

It also changes an instruction using X indexed ad-  
dressing mode to an instruction using indirect X in-  
dexed addressing mode.  
PC+1  
Additional word (0 to 2) according  
to the number of bytes required to compute the ef-  
fective address

direct indexed addressing mode by a Y one.

6.1 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS  
This product contains devices to protect the inputs  
against damage due to high static voltages, how-  
ever it is advisable to take normal precaution to  
avoid application of any voltage higher than the  
specified maximum rated voltages.  
Power Considerations.The average chip-junc-  
tion temperature, T , in Celsius can be obtained

from:  
T =  
TA + PD x RthJA

7 GENERAL INFORMATION  
7.1 EPROM ERASURE  
EPROM version devices are erased by exposure  
to high intensity UV light admitted through the  
transparent window. This exposure discharges the  
floating gate to its initial state through induced  
photo current.  
An opaque coating (paint, tape, label, etc...)  
should be placed over the package window if the  
product is to be operated under these lighting con-  
ditions. Covering the window also reduces I  
in  
DD  
power-saving modes due to photo-diode leakage  
currents.  
It is recommended that the EPROM devices be  
kept out of direct sunlight, since the UV content of  
sunlight can be sufficient to cause functional fail-  
ure. Extended exposure to room level fluorescent  
lighting may also cause erasure.

7.3 ORDERING INFORMATION  
Each device is available for production in user pro-  
grammable version (OTP) as well as in factory  
coded version (ROM). OTP devices are shipped to  
customer with a default blank content FFh, while  
ROM factory coded parts contain the code sent by  
customer. There is one common EPROM version  
for debugging and prototyping which features the  
maximum memory size and peripherals of the  
family. Care must be taken to only use resources  
available on the target device.  
7.3.1 Transfer Of Customer Code  
Customer code is made up of the ROM contents  
and the list of the selected options (if any). The  
ROM contents are to be sent on diskette, or by  
electronic means, with the hexadecimal file gener-  
ated by the development tool. All unused bytes  
must be set to FFh.  
The selected options are communicated to STMi-  
croelectronics using the correctly completed OP-  
TION LIST appended.  
The STMicroelectronics Sales Organization will be  
pleased to provide detailed information on con-  
tractual points.
