1 INTRODUCTION  
The ST72F521 and ST72521B devices are mem-  
bers of the ST7 microcontroller family designed for  
mid-range applications with a CAN bus interface  
(Controller Area Network).  
The enhanced instruction set and addressing  
modes of the ST7 offer both power and flexibility to  
software developers, enabling the design of highly  
efficient and compact application code. In addition  
to standard 8-bit data management, all ST7 micro-  
controllers feature true bit manipulation, 8x8 un-  
signed multiplication and indirect addressing  
modes.  
All devices are based on a common industry-  
standard 8-bit core, featuring an enhanced instruc-  
tion set and are available with FLASH or ROM pro-  
gram memory.  
Under software control, all devices can be placed  
in WAIT, SLOW, ACTIVE-HALT or HALT mode,

Notes:  
1. In the interrupt input column, “eiX” defines the associated external interrupt vector. If the weak pull-up  
12/215  
ST72F521, ST72521B  
column (wpu) is merged with the interrupt column (int), then the I/O configuration is pull-up interrupt input,  
else the configuration is floating interrupt input.  
2. In the open drain output column, “T” defines a true open drain I/O (P-Buffer and protection diode to V  
DD  
are not implemented). See See “I/O PORTS” on page 47. and Section 12.8 I/O PORT PIN CHARACTER-  
ISTICS for more details.  
3. OSC1 and OSC2 pins connect a crystal/ceramic resonator, or an external source to the on-chip oscil-  
lator; see Section 1 INTRODUCTION and Section 12.5 CLOCK AND TIMING CHARACTERISTICS for  
more details.  
4. On the chip, each I/O port may have up to 8 pads. Pads that are not bonded to external pins are in input  
pull-up configuration after reset. The configuration of these pads must be kept at reset state to avoid add-  
ed current consumption.

3 REGISTER & MEMORY MAP  
As shown in Figure 4, the MCU is capable of ad-  
dressing 64K bytes of memories and I/O registers.  
IMPORTANT: Memory locations marked as “Re-  
served” must never be accessed. Accessing a re-  
seved area can have unpredictable effects on the  
device.  
The available memory locations consist of 128  
bytes of register locations, up to 2Kbytes of RAM  
and up to 60Kbytes of user program memory. The  
RAM space includes up to 256 bytes for the stack  
from 0100h to 01FFh.

The highest address bytes contain the user reset  
and interrupt vectors.

sectors (see Table 3). Each of these sectors can  
be erased independently to avoid unnecessary  
erasing of the whole Flash memory when only a  
partial erasing is required.  
The ST7 dual voltage High Density Flash  
(HDFlash) is a non-volatile memory that can be  
electrically erased as a single block or by individu-  
al sectors and programmed on a Byte-by-Byte ba-  
The first two sectors have a fixed size of 4 Kbytes  
(see Figure 5). They are mapped in the upper part  
of the ST7 addressing space so the reset and in-  
terrupt vectors are located in Sector 0 (F000h-  
FFFFh).  
sis using an external V supply.  
PP  
The HDFlash devices can be programmed and  
erased off-board (plugged in a programming tool)  
or on-board using ICP (In-Circuit Programming) or  
IAP (In-Application Programming).

to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting  
other sectors.

Three Flash programming modes:  
4.3.1 Read-out Protection  
– Insertion in a programming tool. In this mode,  
all sectors including option bytes can be pro-  
grammed or erased.  
– ICP (In-Circuit Programming). In this mode, all  
sectors including option bytes can be pro-  
grammed or erased without removing the de-  
vice from the application board.  
– IAP (In-Application Programming) In this  
mode, all sectors except Sector 0, can be pro-  
grammed or erased without removing the de-  
vice from the application board and while the  
application is running.  
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a  
protection against Program Memory content ex-  
traction and against write access to Flash memo-  
ry. Even if no protection can be considered as to-  
tally unbreakable, the feature provides a very high  
level of protection for a general purpose microcon-  
troller.  
In flash devices, this protection is removed by re-  
programming the option. In this case, the entire  
program memory is first automatically erased and  
the device can be reprogrammed.  
ICT (In-Circuit Testing) for downloading and  
executing user application test patterns in RAM  
Read-out protection selection depends on the de-  
vice type:

4.3 Structure  
The Flash memory is organised in sectors and can  
be used for both code and data storage.  
Note: In flash devices, the LVD is not supported if  
read-out protection is enabled.

4.4 ICC Interface  
– ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin  
– ICCDATA: ICC input/output serial data pin  
ICC needs a minimum of 4 and up to 6 pins to be  
connected to the programming tool (see Figure 6).  
These pins are:  
– ICCSEL/V : programming voltage  
PP  
– OSC1(or OSCIN): main clock input for exter-  
nal source (optional)  
– RESET: device reset  
– V : application board power supply (option-

Notes:  
1. If the ICCCLK or ICCDATA pins are only used  
agement IC with open drain output and pull-up re-  
sistor>1K, no additional components are needed.  
In all cases the user must ensure that no external  
reset is generated by the application during the  
ICC session.  
as outputs in the application, no signal isolation is  
necessary. As soon as the Programming Tool is  
plugged to the board, even if an ICC session is not  
in progress, the ICCCLK and ICCDATA pins are  
not available for the application. If they are used as  
inputs by the application, isolation such as a serial  
resistor has to implemented in case another de-  
vice forces the signal. Refer to the Programming  
Tool documentation for recommended resistor val-  
ues.  
3. The use of Pin 7 of the ICC connector depends  
on the Programming Tool architecture. This pin  
must be connected when using most ST Program-  
ming Tools (it is used to monitor the application  
power supply). Please refer to the Programming  
Tool manual.  
2. During the ICC session, the programming tool  
must control the RESET pin. This can lead to con-  
flicts between the programming tool and the appli-  
cation reset circuit if it drives more than 5mA at  
high level (push pull output or pull-up resistor<1K).  
A schottky diode can be used to isolate the appli-  
cation RESET circuit in this case. When using a  
classical RC network with R>1K or a reset man-  
4. Pin 9 has to be connected to the OSC1 or OS-  
CIN pin of the ST7 when the clock is not available  
in the application or if the selected clock option is  
not programmed in the option byte. ST7 devices  
with multi-oscillator capability need to have OSC2  
grounded in this case.

or CAN interface and program it in the Flash. IAP  
mode can be used to program any of the Flash  
sectors except Sector 0, which is write/erase pro-  
tected to allow recovery in case errors occur dur-  
ing the programming operation.  
To perform ICP the microcontroller must be  
switched to ICC (In-Circuit Communication) mode  
by an external controller or programming tool.  
Depending on the ICP code downloaded in RAM,  
Flash memory programming can be fully custom-  
ized (number of bytes to program, program loca-  
tions, or selection serial communication interface  
for downloading).  
4.7 Related Documentation  
For details on Flash programming and ICC proto-  
col, refer to the ST7 Flash Programming Refer-  
ence Manual and to the ST7 ICC Protocol Refer-  
ence Manual.  
When using an STMicroelectronics or third-party  
programming tool that supports ICP and the spe-  
cific microcontroller device, the user needs only to  
implement the ICP hardware interface on the ap-  
plication board (see Figure 6). For more details on  
the pin locations, refer to the device pinout de-  
scription.

5.1 INTRODUCTION  
5.3 CPU REGISTERS  
This CPU has a full 8-bit architecture and contains  
six internal registers allowing efficient 8-bit data  
manipulation.  
The 6 CPU registers shown in Figure 8 are not  
present in the memory mapping and are accessed  
by specific instructions.  
Accumulator (A)  
5.2 MAIN FEATURES  
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.  
Enable executing 63 basic instructions  
Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply  
17 main addressing modes (with indirect  
Index Registers (X and Y)  
addressing mode)  
These 8-bit registers are used to create effective  
addresses or as temporary storage areas for data  
manipulation. (The Cross-Assembler generates a  
precede instruction (PRE) to indicate that the fol-  
lowing instruction refers to the Y register.)  
Two 8-bit index registers  
16-bit stack pointer  
Low power HALT and WAIT modes  
Priority maskable hardware interrupts  
Non-maskable software/hardware interrupts  
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt auto-  
matic procedures.  
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).

This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test  
instructions.  
The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the in-  
terrupt masks 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.  
Bit 0 = C Carry/borrow.  
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.  
These bits can be individually tested and/or con-  
trolled by specific instructions.  
Arithmetic Management Bits  
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.  
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 instructions. It is reset by hardware during  
the same instructions.  
Interrupt Management Bits  
Bit 5,3 = I1, I0 Interrupt  
0: No half carry has occurred.  
1: A half carry has occurred.  
The combination of the I1 and I0 bits gives the cur-  
rent interrupt software priority.  
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruc-  
tion. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subrou-  
tines.

Stack Pointer (SP)  
Read/Write  
The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer  
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD in-  
struction.  
Reset Value: 01 FFh  
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 9.

SP6  
SP5  
SP4  
SP3  
SP2  
SP1  
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 9).  
– 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 8 most sig-  
nificant bits are forced by hardware. Following an  
MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruc-  
tion (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset val-  
ue (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.

6 SUPPLY, RESET AND CLOCK MANAGEMENT  
The device includes a range of utility features for  
securing the application in critical situations (for  
example in case of a power brown-out), and re-  
ducing the number of external components. An  
overview is shown in Figure 11.  
6.1 PHASE LOCKED LOOP  
If the clock frequency input to the PLL is in the  
range 2 to 4 MHz, the PLL can be used to multiply  
the frequency by two to obtain an f  
of 4 to 8

MHz. The PLL is enabled by option byte. If the PLL  
is disabled, then f /2.

6.2 MULTI-OSCILLATOR (MO)  
The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by  
three different source types coming from the multi-  
oscillator block:  
an external source  
4 crystal or ceramic resonator oscillators  
an internal high frequency RC oscillator  
Internal RC Oscillator  
This oscillator allows a low cost solution for the  
main clock of the ST7 using only an internal resis-  
tor and capacitor. Internal RC oscillator mode has  
the drawback of a lower frequency accuracy and  
should not be used in applications that require ac-  
curate timing.  
Each oscillator is optimized for a given frequency  
range in terms of consumption and is selectable  
through the option byte. The associated hardware  
configurations are shown in Table 4. Refer to the  
electrical characteristics section for more details.  
In this mode, the two oscillator pins have to be tied  
to ground.  
Table 4. ST7 Clock Sources  
Hardware Configuration  
Caution: The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not  
be left unconnected. For the purposes of Failure  
Mode and Effect Analysis, it should be noted that if  
the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins are left unconnected,  
the ST7 main oscillator may start and, in this con-  
ST7  
OSC1  
OSC2  
figuration, could generate an f  
clock frequency  
OSC  
in excess of the allowed maximum (>16MHz.),  
putting the ST7 in an unsafe/undefined state. The  
product behaviour must therefore be considered  
undefined when the OSC pins are left unconnect-  
ed.

In this external clock mode, a clock signal (square,  
sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive  
the OSC1 pin while the OSC2 pin is tied to ground.  
OSC1  
OSC2  
Crystal/Ceramic Oscillators  
This family of oscillators has the advantage of pro-  
ducing a very accurate rate on the main clock of  
the ST7. The selection within a list of 4 oscillators  
with different frequency ranges has to be done by  
option byte in order to reduce consumption (refer  
to section 14.1 on page 201 for more details on the  
frequency ranges). In this mode of the multi-oscil-  
lator, the resonator and the load capacitors have  
to be placed as close as possible to the oscillator  
pins in order to minimize output distortion and  
start-up stabilization time. The loading capaci-  
tance values must be adjusted according to the  
selected oscillator.

6.3 RESET SEQUENCE MANAGER (RSM)  
6.3.1 Introduction  
The RESET vector fetch phase duration is 2 clock  
cycles.  
The reset sequence manager includes three RE-  
SET sources as shown in Figure 13:

256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay (selected by

RESET vector fetch  
The RESET pin is both an input and an open-drain  
output with integrated R  
weak pull-up resistor.  
ON  
This pull-up has no fixed value but varies in ac-  
cordance with the input voltage. It can be pulled  
low by external circuitry to reset the device. See  
“CONTROL PIN CHARACTERISTICS” on  
page 185 for more details.  
The 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay allows the  
oscillator to stabilise and ensures that recovery  
has taken place from the Reset state. The shorter  
or longer clock cycle delay should be selected by  
option byte to correspond to the stabilization time  
of the external oscillator used in the application  
(see section 14.1 on page 201).  
A RESET signal originating from an external  
source must have a duration of at least t  
in  
h(RSTL)in  
order to be recognized (see Figure 14). This de-  
tection is asynchronous and therefore the MCU  
can enter reset state even in HALT mode.

The RESET pin is an asynchronous signal which  
plays a major role in EMS performance. In a noisy  
environment, it is recommended to follow the  
guidelines mentioned in the electrical characteris-  
tics section.  
A proper reset signal for a slow rising V supply  
can generally be provided by an external RC net-  
work connected to the RESET pin.

7.1 INTRODUCTION  
each interrupt vector (see Table 5). The process-  
ing flow is shown in Figure 18  
The ST7 enhanced interrupt management pro-  
vides the following features:  
When an interrupt request has to be serviced:  
– Normal processing is suspended at the end of  
the current instruction execution.  
Hardware interrupts  
Software interrupt (TRAP)  
Nested or concurrent interrupt management  
with flexible interrupt priority and level  
management:  
– The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto  
the stack.  
– I1 and I0 bits of CC register are set according to  
the corresponding values in the ISPRx registers  
of the serviced interrupt vector.  
– Up to 4 software programmable nesting levels  
– Up to 16 interrupt vectors fixed by hardware  
– 2 non maskable events: RESET, TRAP  
– 1 maskable Top Level event: TLI  
– 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  
“Interrupt Mapping” table for vector addresses).  
This interrupt management is based on:  
The interrupt service routine should end with the  
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the  
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.  
– Bit 5 and bit 3 of the CPU CC register (I1:0),  
– Interrupt software priority registers (ISPRx),  
– Fixed interrupt vector addresses located at the  
high addresses of the memory map (FFE0h to  
FFFFh) sorted by hardware priority order.  
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,  
the I1 and I0 bits will be restored from the stack  
and the program in the previous level will resume.  
This enhanced interrupt controller guarantees full  
upward compatibility with the standard (not nest-  
ed) ST7 interrupt controller.

INTERRUPTS (Cont’d)  
Servicing Pending Interrupts  
TRAP (Non Maskable Software Interrupt)  
As several interrupts can be pending at the same  
time, the interrupt to be taken into account is deter-  
mined by the following two-step process:  
This software interrupt is serviced when the TRAP  
instruction is executed. It will be serviced accord-  
ing to the flowchart in Figure 18.  
– the highest software priority interrupt is serviced,  
Caution: TRAP can be interrupted by a TLI.  
RESET  
– if several interrupts have the same software pri-  
ority then the interrupt with the highest hardware  
priority is serviced first.  
The RESET source has the highest priority in the  
ST7. This means that the first current routine has  
the highest software priority (level 3) and the high-  
est hardware priority.  
Figure 19 describes this decision process.  
Figure 19. Priority Decision Process  
See the RESET chapter for more details.  
PENDING  
INTERRUPTS  
Maskable Sources  
Maskable interrupt vector sources can be serviced  
if the corresponding interrupt is enabled and if its  
own interrupt software priority (in ISPRx registers)  
is higher than the one currently being serviced (I1  
and I0 in CC register). If any of these two condi-  
tions is false, the interrupt is latched and thus re-  
mains pending.

This hardware interrupt occurs when a specific

a trap.  
HIGHEST HARDWARE  
PRIORITY SERVICED  
Caution: A TRAP instruction must not be used in a  
TLI service routine.  
When an interrupt request is not serviced immedi-  
ately, it is latched and then processed when its  
software priority combined with the hardware pri-  
ority becomes the highest one.  
External Interrupts  
External interrupts allow the processor to exit from  
HALT low power mode. External interrupt sensitiv-  
ity is software selectable through the External In-  
terrupt Control register (EICR).  
External interrupt triggered on edge will be latched  
and the interrupt request automatically cleared  
upon entering the interrupt service routine.  
If several input pins of a group connected to the  
same interrupt line are selected simultaneously,  
these will be logically ORed.  
Note 1: The hardware priority is exclusive while  
the software one is not. This allows the previous  
process to succeed with only one interrupt.  
Note 2: TLI, RESET and TRAP can be considered  
as having the highest software priority in the deci-  
sion process.  
Different Interrupt Vector Sources  
Peripheral Interrupts  
Two interrupt source types are managed by the  
ST7 interrupt controller: the non-maskable type  
(RESET, TRAP) and the maskable type (external  
or from internal peripherals).  
Usually the peripheral interrupts cause the MCU to  
exit from HALT mode except those mentioned in  
the “Interrupt Mapping” table. A peripheral inter-  
rupt occurs when a specific flag is set in the pe-  
ripheral status registers and if the corresponding  
enable bit is set in the peripheral control register.  
The general sequence for clearing an interrupt is  
based on an access to the status register followed  
by a read or write to an associated register.  
Note: The clearing sequence resets the internal  
latch. A pending interrupt (i.e. waiting for being  
serviced) will therefore be lost if the clear se-  
quence is executed.  
Non-Maskable Sources  
These sources are processed regardless of the  
state of the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register (see  
Figure 18). After stacking the PC, X, A and CC  
registers (except for RESET), the corresponding  
vector is loaded in the PC register and the I1 and  
I0 bits of the CC are set to disable interrupts (level  
3). These sources allow the processor to exit  
HALT mode.

INTERRUPTS (Cont’d)  
7.3 INTERRUPTS AND LOW POWER MODES  
7.4 CONCURRENT & NESTED MANAGEMENT  
All interrupts allow the processor to exit the WAIT  
low power mode. On the contrary, only external  
and other specified interrupts allow the processor  
to exit from the HALT modes (see column “Exit  
from HALT” in “Interrupt Mapping” table). When  
several pending interrupts are present while exit-  
ing HALT mode, the first one serviced can only be  
an interrupt with exit from HALT mode capability  
and it is selected through the same decision proc-  
ess shown in Figure 19.  
The following Figure 20 and Figure 21 show two  
different interrupt management modes. The first is  
called concurrent mode and does not allow an in-  
terrupt to be interrupted, unlike the nested mode in  
Figure 21. The interrupt hardware priority is given  
in this order from the lowest to the highest: MAIN,  
IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0, TLI. The software priority is  
given for each interrupt.  
Warning: A stack overflow may occur without no-  
tifying the software of the failure.  
Note: If an interrupt, that is not able to Exit from  
HALT mode, is pending with the highest priority  
when exiting HALT mode, this interrupt is serviced  
after the first one serviced.

– Each I1_x and I0_x bit value in the ISPRx regis-

in the CC register.  
– Level 0 can not be written (I1_x=1, I0_x=0). In  
this case, the previously stored value is kept. (ex-  
ample: previous=CFh, write=64h, result=44h)  
The TLI, RESET, and TRAP vectors have no soft-  
ware priorities. When one is serviced, the I1 and I0  
bits of the CC register are both set.  
*Note: Bits in the ISPRx registers which corre-  
spond to the TLI can be read and written but they  
are not significant in the interrupt process man-  
agement.  
Caution: If the I1_x and I0_x bits are modified  
while the interrupt x is executed the following be-  
haviour has to be considered: If the interrupt x is  
still pending (new interrupt or flag not cleared) and  
the new software priority is higher than the previ-  
ous one, the interrupt x is re-entered. Otherwise,  
the software priority stays unchanged up to the  
next interrupt request (after the IRET of the inter-  
rupt x).

7.6 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS  
7.6.1 I/O Port Interrupt Sensitivity  
Falling edge and low level  
Rising edge and high level (only for ei0 and ei2)  
The external interrupt sensitivity is controlled by  
the IPA, IPB and ISxx bits of the EICR register  
(Figure 22). This control allows to have up to 4 fully  
independent external interrupt source sensitivities.  
To guarantee correct functionality, the sensitivity  
bits in the EICR register can be modified only  
when the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register are both  
set to 1 (level 3). This means that interrupts must  
be disabled before changing sensitivity.  
Each external interrupt source can be generated  
on four (or five) different events on the pin:  
Falling edge  
Rising edge  
Falling and rising edge  
The pending interrupts are cleared by writing a dif-  
ferent value in the ISx[1:0], IPA or IPB bits of the  
EICR.

8 POWER SAVING MODES  
8.1 INTRODUCTION  
8.2 SLOW MODE  
To give a large measure of flexibility to the applica-  
tion in terms of power consumption, four main  
power saving modes are implemented in the ST7  
(see Figure 23): SLOW, WAIT (SLOW WAIT), AC-  
TIVE HALT and HALT.  
This mode has two targets:  
– To reduce power consumption by decreasing the  
internal clock in the device,  
– To adapt the internal clock frequency (f  
the available supply voltage.  
) to  
CPU  
After a RESET the normal operating mode is se-  
lected by default (RUN mode). This mode drives  
the device (CPU and embedded peripherals) by  
means of a master clock which is based on the  
main oscillator frequency divided or multiplied by 2  
SLOW mode is controlled by three bits in the  
MCCSR register: the SMS bit which enables or  
disables Slow mode and two CPx bits which select  
the internal slow frequency (f  
).  
CPU

In this mode, the master clock frequency (f

can be divided by 2, 4, 8 or 16. The CPU and pe-  
ripherals are clocked at this lower frequency

instruction whose action depends on the oscillator

ACTIVE-HALT and HALT modes are the two low-

The MCU can exit ACTIVE-HALT mode on recep-

devices, external interrupts can be used to wake-

by means of an interrupt, no 256 or 4096 CPU cy-

The MCU can exit HALT mode on reception of ei-

HALT mode by means of a RESET or an interrupt,  
the oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256  
or 4096 CPU cycle delay is used to stabilize the  
oscillator. After the start up delay, the CPU  
resumes operation by servicing the interrupt or by  
fetching the reset vector which woke it up (see Fig-  
ure 29).  
When entering HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits in the  
CC register are forced to ‘10b’to enable interrupts.

ry. For example, avoid defining a constant in  
ROM with the value 0x8E.  
– Make sure that an external event is available to  
wake up the microcontroller from Halt mode.  
– As the HALT instruction clears the interrupt mask  
in the CC register to allow interrupts, the user  
may choose to clear all pending interrupt bits be-  
fore executing the HALT instruction. This avoids  
entering other peripheral interrupt routines after  
executing the external interrupt routine corre-  
sponding to the wake-up event (reset or external  
interrupt).  
– When using an external interrupt to wake up the  
microcontroller, reinitialize the corresponding I/O  
as “Input Pull-up with Interrupt” before executing  
the HALT instruction. The main reason for this is  
that the I/O may be wrongly configured due to ex-  
ternal interference or by an unforeseen logical  
condition.  
Related Documentation  
– For the same reason, reinitialize the level sensi-  
tiveness of each external interrupt as a precau-  
tionary measure.

9 I/O PORTS  
9.1 INTRODUCTION  
Each pin can independently generate an interrupt  
request. The interrupt sensitivity is independently  
programmable using the sensitivity bits in the  
EICR register.  
The I/O ports offer different functional modes:  
– transfer of data through digital inputs and outputs  
and for specific pins:  
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedi-  
cated group of I/O port pins (see pinout description  
and interrupt section). If several input pins are se-  
lected simultaneously as interrupt sources, these  
are first detected according to the sensitivity bits in  
the EICR register and then logically ORed.  
– external interrupt generation  
– alternate signal input/output for the on-chip pe-  
ripherals.  
An I/O port contains up to 8 pins. Each pin can be  
programmed independently as digital input (with or  
without interrupt generation) or digital output.  
The external interrupts are hardware interrupts,  
which means that the request latch (not accessible  
directly by the application) is automatically cleared  
when the corresponding interrupt vector is  
fetched. To clear an unwanted pending interrupt  
by software, the sensitivity bits in the EICR register  
must be modified.  
9.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Each port has 2 main registers:  
– Data Register (DR)  
– Data Direction Register (DDR)  
and one optional register:  
– Option Register (OR)  
9.2.2 Output Modes  
The output configuration is selected by setting the  
corresponding DDR register bit. In this case, writ-  
ing the DR register applies this digital value to the  
I/O pin through the latch. Then reading the DR reg-  
ister returns the previously stored value.  
Each I/O pin may be programmed using the corre-  
sponding register bits in the DDR and OR regis-  
ters: bit X corresponding to pin X of the port. The  
same correspondence is used for the DR register.  
Two different output modes can be selected by  
software through the OR register: Output push-pull  
and open-drain.  
The following description takes into account the  
OR register, (for specific ports which do not pro-  
vide this register refer to the I/O Port Implementa-  
tion section). The generic I/O block diagram is  
shown in Figure 30

The input configuration is selected by clearing the  
corresponding DDR register bit.  
9.2.3 Alternate Functions  
In this case, reading the DR register returns the  
digital value applied to the external I/O pin.  
When an on-chip peripheral is configured to use a  
pin, the alternate function is automatically select-  
ed. This alternate function takes priority over the  
standard I/O programming.  
Different input modes can be selected by software  
through the OR register.  
Notes:  
When the signal is coming from an on-chip periph-  
eral, the I/O pin is automatically configured in out-  
put mode (push-pull or open drain according to the  
peripheral).  
1. Writing the DR register modifies the latch value  
but does not affect the pin status.  
2. When switching from input to output mode, the  
DR register has to be written first to drive the cor-  
rect level on the pin as soon as the port is config-  
ured as an output.  
When the signal is going to an on-chip peripheral,  
the I/O pin must be configured in input mode. In  
this case, the pin state is also digitally readable by  
addressing the DR register.  
3. Do not use read/modify/write instructions (BSET  
or BRES) to modify the DR register  
External interrupt function  
Note: Input pull-up configuration can cause unex-  
pected value at the input of the alternate peripheral  
input. When an on-chip peripheral use a pin as in-  
put and output, this pin has to be configured in in-  
put floating mode.  
When an I/O is configured as Input with Interrupt,  
an event on this I/O can generate an external inter-  
rupt request to the CPU.

10 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS  
10.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)  
10.1.1 Introduction  
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)  
and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over  
from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates  
a reset cycle pulling low the reset pin for typically  
500ns.  
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.  
The application program must write in the  
WDGCR register at regular intervals during normal  
operation to prevent an MCU reset. This down-  
counter is free-running: it counts down even if the  
watchdog is disabled. The value to be stored in the  
WDGCR register must be between FFh and C0h:

which represents the time delay before the  
watchdog produces a reset (see Figure 33. Ap-  
proximate Timeout Duration). The timing varies  
between a minimum and a maximum value due  
to the unknown status of the prescaler when writ-  
ing to the WDGCR register (see Figure 34).

10.3 PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (ART)  
10.3.1 Introduction  
The Pulse Width Modulated Auto-Reload Timer  
on-chip peripheral consists of an 8-bit auto reload  
counter with compare/capture capabilities and of a  
7-bit prescaler clock source.  
– Up to two input capture functions  
– External event detector  
– Up to two external interrupt sources  
The three first modes can be used together with a  
single counter frequency.  
These resources allow five possible operating  
modes:  
The timer can be used to wake up the MCU from  
WAIT and HALT modes.  
– Generation of up to 4 independent PWM signals  
– Output compare and Time base interrupt

10.3.2 Functional Description  
Counter  
Counter and Prescaler Initialization  
The free running 8-bit counter is fed by the output  
of the prescaler, and is incremented on every ris-  
ing edge of the clock signal.  
After RESET, the counter and the prescaler are  
cleared and f  
= f  
.
INPUT  
CPU  
The counter can be initialized by:  
It is possible to read or write the contents of the  
counter on the fly by reading or writing the Counter  
Access register (ARTCAR).  
– Writing to the ARTARR register and then setting  
the FCRL (Force Counter Re-Load) and the TCE  
(Timer Counter Enable) bits in the ARTCSR reg-  
ister.  
When a counter overflow occurs, the counter is  
automatically reloaded with the contents of the  
ARTARR register (the prescaler is not affected).  
– Writing to the ARTCAR counter access register,  
In both cases the 7-bit prescaler is also cleared,  
whereupon counting will start from a known value.

Direct access to the prescaler is not possible.

Output compare control

) feeds the

The timer compare function is based on four differ-  
ent comparisons with the counter (one for each  
PWMx output). Each comparison is made be-  
tween the counter value and an output compare  
register (OCRx) value. This OCRx register can not  
be accessed directly, it is loaded from the duty cy-  
cle register (PWMDCRx) at each overflow of the  
counter.  
7-bit programmable prescaler, which selects one  
of the 8 available taps of the prescaler, as defined  
by CC[2:0] bits in the Control/Status Register  
(ARTCSR). Thus the division factor of the prescal-  
n
er can be set to 2 (where n = 0, 1,..7).  
This f  
frequency source is selected through  
INPUT  
the EXCL bit of the ARTCSR register and can be  
either the f or an external input frequency f  
.
EXT  
CPU  
This double buffering method avoids glitch gener-  
ation when changing the duty cycle on the fly.  
The clock input to the counter is enabled by the  
TCE (Timer Counter Enable) bit in the ARTCSR  
register. When TCE is reset, the counter is  
stopped and the prescaler and counter contents  
are frozen. When TCE is set, the counter runs at  
the rate of the selected clock source.

PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (Cont’d)  
Independent PWM signal generation  
When the counter reaches the value contained in  
one of the output compare register (OCRx) the  
corresponding PWMx pin level is restored.  
This mode allows up to four Pulse Width Modulat-  
ed signals to be generated on the PWMx output  
pins with minimum core processing overhead.  
This function is stopped during HALT mode.  
It should be noted that the reload values will also  
affect the value and the resolution of the duty cycle  
of the PWM output signal. To obtain a signal on a  
PWMx pin, the contents of the OCRx register must  
be greater than the contents of the ARTARR reg-  
ister.  
Each PWMx output signal can be selected inde-  
pendently using the corresponding OEx bit in the  
PWM Control register (PWMCR). When this bit is  
set, the corresponding I/O pin is configured as out-  
put push-pull alternate function.  
The maximum available resolution for the PWMx  
duty cycle is:  
The PWM signals all have the same frequency  
which is controlled by the counter period and the  
ARTARR register value.  
Resolution = 1 / (256 - ARTARR)  
Note: To get the maximum resolution (1/256), the  
ARTARR register must be 0. With this maximum  
resolution, 0% and 100% can be obtained by  
changing the polarity.

When a counter overflow occurs, the PWMx pin

PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (Cont’d)  
Input capture function  
This mode allows the measurement of external  
signal pulse widths through ARTICRx registers.  
External interrupt capability  
This mode allows the Input capture capabilities to  
be used as external interrupt sources. The inter-  
rupts are generated on the edge of the ARTICx  
signal.  
Each input capture can generate an interrupt inde-  
pendently on a selected input signal transition.  
This event is flagged by a set of the corresponding  
CFx bits of the Input Capture Control/Status regis-  
ter (ARTICCSR).  
The edge sensitivity of the external interrupts is  
programmable (CSx bit of ARTICCSR register)  
and they are independently enabled through CIEx  
bits of the ARTICCSR register. After fetching the  
interrupt vector, the CFx flags can be read to iden-  
tify the interrupt source.  
These input capture interrupts are enabled  
through the CIEx bits of the ARTICCSR register.  
The active transition (falling or rising edge) is soft-  
ware programmable through the CSx bits of the  
ARTICCSR register.  
During HALT mode, the external interrupts can be  
used to wake up the micro (if the CIEx bit is set).  
The read only input capture registers (ARTICRx)  
are used to latch the auto-reload counter value  
when a transition is detected on the ARTICx pin  
(CFx bit set in ARTICCSR register). After fetching  
the interrupt vector, the CFx flags can be read to  
identify the interrupt source.  
Note: After a capture detection, data transfer in  
the ARTICRx register is inhibited until it is read  
(clearing the CFx bit).  
The timer interrupt remains pending while the CFx  
flag is set when the interrupt is enabled (CIEx bit  
set). This means, the ARTICRx register has to be  
read at each capture event to clear the CFx flag.  
The timing resolution is given by auto-reload coun-  
ter cycle time (1/f  
).  
COUNTER  
Note: During HALT mode, if both input capture  
and external clock are enabled, the ARTICRx reg-  
ister value is not guaranteed if the input capture  
pin and the external clock change simultaneously.

10.4 16-BIT TIMER  
10.4.1 Introduction  
When reading an input signal on a non-bonded  
pin, the value will always be ‘1’.  
The timer consists of a 16-bit free-running counter  
driven by a programmable prescaler.  
10.4.3 Functional Description  
10.4.3.1 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 main block of the Programmable Timer is a  
16-bit free running upcounter and its associated  
16-bit registers. The 16-bit registers are made up  
of two 8-bit registers called high & low.  
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 Register (CR):  
– Counter High Register (CHR) is the most sig-  
nificant byte (MS Byte).  
Some ST7 devices have two on-chip 16-bit timers.  
They are completely independent, and do not  
share any resources. They are synchronized after  
a MCU reset as long as the timer clock frequen-  
cies are not modified.  
– Counter Low Register (CLR) is the least sig-  
nificant byte (LS Byte).  
Alternate Counter Register (ACR)  
– Alternate Counter High Register (ACHR) is the  
most significant byte (MS Byte).  
This description covers one or two 16-bit timers. In  
ST7 devices with two timers, register names are  
prefixed with TA (Timer A) or TB (Timer B).  
– Alternate Counter Low Register (ACLR) is the  
least significant byte (LS Byte).  
10.4.2 Main Features  
Programmableprescaler:fCPU dividedby2,4or8.  
Overflow status flag and maskable interrupt  
External clock input (must be at least 4 times  
slowerthantheCPUclockspeed)withthechoice  
of active edge  
1 or 2 Output Compare functions each with:  
– 2 dedicated 16-bit registers  
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 (Timer  
overflow flag), located in the Status register, (SR),  
(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.  
Both counters have a reset value of FFFCh (this is  
the only value which is reloaded in the 16-bit tim-  
er). The reset value of both counters is also  
FFFCh in One Pulse mode and PWM mode.  
– 2 dedicated programmable signals  
– 2 dedicated status flags  
– 1 dedicated maskable interrupt  
1 or 2 Input Capture functions each with:  
– 2 dedicated 16-bit registers  
The timer clock depends on the clock control bits  
of the CR2 register, as illustrated in Table 16 Clock  
Control Bits. The value in the counter register re-  
peats every 131072, 262144 or 524288 CPU clock  
cycles depending on the CC[1:0] bits.  
– 2 dedicated active edge selection signals  
– 2 dedicated status flags  
– 1 dedicated maskable interrupt

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  
Read  
LS Byte  
Notes: The TOF bit is not cleared by accesses to  
ACLR register. The advantage of accessing the  
ACLR register rather than the CLR register is that  
it allows simultaneous use of the overflow function  
and reading the free running counter at random  
times (for example, to measure elapsed time) with-  
out the risk of clearing the TOF bit erroneously.  
MS Byte  
At t0

Other  
instructions  
Returns the buffered  
LS Byte value at t0

LS Byte  
At t0 +t  
The timer is not affected by WAIT mode.  
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 MS Byte first, then the LS  
Byte value is buffered automatically.  
This buffered value remains unchanged until the  
16-bit read sequence is completed, even if the  
user reads the MS Byte several times.  
10.4.3.2 External Clock  
The external clock (where available) is selected if  
CC0=1 and CC1=1 in the CR2 register.  
After a complete reading sequence, if only the  
CLR register or ACLR register are read, they re-  
turn the LS Byte of the count value at the time of  
the read.  
The status of the EXEDG bit in the CR2 register  
determines the type of level transition on the exter-  
nal clock pin EXTCLK that will trigger the free run-  
ning counter.  
Whatever the timer mode used (input capture, out-  
put compare, one pulse mode or PWM mode) an  
overflow occurs when the counter rolls over from  
FFFFh to 0000h then:  
The counter is synchronized with the falling edge  
of the internal CPU clock.  
A minimum of four falling edges of the CPU clock  
must occur between two consecutive active edges  
of the external clock; thus the external clock fre-  
quency 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.

10.4.3.3 Input Capture  
When an input capture occurs:  
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2 because  
there are 2 input capture functions in the 16-bit  
timer.  
– ICFi bit is set.  
– The ICiR register contains the value of the free  
running counter on the active transition on the  
ICAPi pin (see Figure 47).  
The two 16-bit input capture registers (IC1R and  
IC2R) are used to latch the value of the free run-  
ning counter after a transition is detected on the  
ICAPi pin (see figure 5).  
– 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.

Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (i.e.

1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.  
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.

through the IEDGi bit of Control Registers (CRi).

CPU  
1. After reading the ICiHR register, transfer of  
input capture data is inhibited and ICFi will  
never be set until the ICiLR register is also  
read.  
Procedure:  
To use the input capture function select the follow-  
ing in the CR2 register:  
2. The ICiR register contains the free running  
counter value which corresponds to the most  
recent input capture.  
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 16  
Clock Control Bits).  
3. The 2 input capture functions can be used  
together even if the timer also uses the 2 output  
compare functions.  
– Select the edge of the active transition on the  
ICAP2 pin with the IEDG2 bit (the ICAP2 pin  
must be configured as floating input or input with  
pull-up without interrupt if this configuration is  
available).  
4. In One pulse Mode and PWM mode only Input  
Capture 2 can be used.  
And select the following in the CR1 register:  
5. The alternate inputs (ICAP1 & ICAP2) are  
always directly connected to the timer. So any  
transitions on these pins activates the input  
capture function.  
– Set the ICIE bit to generate an interrupt after an  
input capture coming from either the ICAP1 pin  
or the ICAP2 pin  
Moreover if one of the ICAPi pins is configured  
as an input and the second one as an output,  
an interrupt can be generated if the user tog-  
gles the output pin and if the ICIE bit is set.  
This can be avoided if the input capture func-  
tion i is disabled by reading the ICiHR (see note  
1).  
– Select the edge of the active transition on the  
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1pin must  
be configured as floating input or input with pull-  
up without interrupt if this configuration is availa-  
ble).  
6. The TOF bit can be used with interrupt genera-  
tion in order to measure events that go beyond  
the timer range (FFFFh).

10.4.3.4 Output Compare  
– The OCMPi pin takes OLVLi bit value (OCMPi  
pin latch is forced low during reset).  
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2 because  
there are 2 output compare functions in the 16-bit  
timer.  
– A timer interrupt is generated if the OCIE bit is  
set in the CR1 register and the I bit is cleared in  
the CC register (CC).  
This function can be used to control an output  
waveform or indicate when a period of time has  
elapsed.  
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-  
ing application can be calculated using the follow-  
ing formula:  
When a match is found between the Output Com-  
pare register and the free running counter, the out-  
put compare function:

Procedure:  
To use the output compare function, select the fol-  
lowing in the CR2 register:  
Clearing the output compare interrupt request (i.e.  
clearing the OCFi bit) is done by:  
– Set the OCiE bit if an output is needed then the  
OCMPi pin is dedicated to the output compare i  
signal.  
1. Reading the SR register while the OCFi bit is  
set.  
2. An access (read or write) to the OCiLR register.  
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 16  
Clock Control Bits).  
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:  
And select the following in the CR1 register:  
– Select the OLVLi bit to applied to the OCMPi pins  
after the match occurs.  
– Write to the OCiHR register (further compares  
are inhibited).  
– Set the OCIE bit to generate an interrupt if it is  
needed.  
– Read the SR register (first step of the clearance  
of the OCFi bit, which may be already set).  
When a match is found between OCRi register  
and CR register:  
– Write to the OCiLR register (enables the output  
compare function and clears the OCFi bit).  
– OCFi bit is set.

Notes:  
1. After a processor write cycle to the OCiHR reg-  
ister, the output compare function is inhibited  
until the OCiLR register is also written.  
Forced Compare Output capability  
When the FOLVi bit is set by software, 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). The OCFi bit is then not  
set by hardware, and thus no interrupt request is  
generated.  
2. If the OCiE bit is not set, the OCMPi pin is a  
general 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.  
3. When the timer clock is f

4. The output compare functions can be used both  
for generating external events on the OCMPi  
pins even if the input capture mode is also  
used.  
5. The value in the 16-bit OCiR register and the  
OLVi bit should be changed after each suc-  
cessful comparison in order to control an output  
waveform or establish a new elapsed timeout.

10.4.3.5 One Pulse Mode  
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (i.e.  
clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:  
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.  
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.  
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.  
The one pulse mode uses the Input Capture1  
function and the Output Compare1 function.  
The OC1R register value required for a specific  
timing application can be calculated using the fol-  
lowing formula:  
Procedure:  
t * f  
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 the opposite column).

2. Select the following in the CR1 register:

ing on the CC[1:0] bits, see Table 16  
Clock Control Bits)  
PRESC  
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin during the pulse.  
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:  
– Select the edge of the active transition on the  
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1 pin  
must be configured as floating input).  
OCiR = t f

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.  
f
= External timer clock frequency (in hertz)  
EXT  
– Set the OPM bit.  
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 51).  
– Select the timer clock CC[1:0] (see Table 16  
Clock Control Bits).

4. The ICAP1 pin can not be used to perform input  
capture. The ICAP2 pin can be used to perform  
input capture (ICF2 can be set and IC2R can be  
loaded) but the user must take care that the  
counter is reset each time a valid edge occurs  
on the ICAP1 pin and ICF1 can also generates  
interrupt if ICIE is set.  
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, the ICF1 bit is set and the val-  
ue FFFDh is loaded in the IC1R register.  
Because the ICF1 bit is set when an active edge  
occurs, an interrupt can be generated if the ICIE  
bit is set.  
5. When one pulse mode is used OC1R is dedi-  
cated to this mode. Nevertheless OC2R and  
OCF2 can be used to indicate a period of time  
has been elapsed but cannot generate an out-  
put waveform because the level OLVL2 is dedi-  
cated to the one pulse mode.

10.4.3.6 Pulse Width Modulation Mode  
If OLVL1=1 and OLVL2=0 the length of the posi-  
tive pulse is the difference between the OC2R and  
OC1R registers.  
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode enables the  
generation of a signal with a frequency and pulse  
length determined by the value of the OC1R and  
OC2R registers.  
If OLVL1=OLVL2 a continuous signal will be seen  
on the OCMP1 pin.  
Pulse Width Modulation mode uses the complete  
Output Compare 1 function plus the OC2R regis-  
ter, and so this functionality can not be used when  
PWM mode is activated.  
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-  
ing application can be calculated using the follow-  
ing formula:  
t * f  
CPU  
PRESC  
- 5  
OCiR Value =  
In PWM mode, double buffering is implemented on  
the output compare registers. Any new values writ-  
ten in the OC1R and OC2R registers are taken  
into account only at the end of the PWM period  
(OC2) to avoid spikes on the PWM output pin  
(OCMP1).  
Where:  
t
= Signal or pulse period (in seconds)  
= CPU clock frequency (in hertz)  
f
CPU  
= Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 depend-  
ing on CC[1:0] bits, see Table 16 Clock  
Control Bits)  
PRESC  
Procedure  
To use pulse width modulation mode:  
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:  
1. Load the OC2R register with the value corre-  
sponding to the period of the signal using the  
formula in the opposite column.  
OCiR = t f  
-5  
* EXT  
2. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-  
sponding to the period of the pulse if (OLVL1=0  
and OLVL2=1) using the formula in the oppo-  
site column.  
Where:  
t
= Signal or pulse period (in seconds)  
f
= External timer clock frequency (in hertz)  
EXT  
3. Select the following in the CR1 register:  
The Output Compare 2 event causes the counter  
to be initialized to FFFCh (See Figure 52)  
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful  
comparison with the OC1R register.  
Notes:  
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-  
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful  
comparison with the OC2R register.  
1. After a write instruction to the OCiHR register,  
the output compare function is inhibited until the  
OCiLR register is also written.  
4. Select the following in the CR2 register:  
2. The OCF1 and OCF2 bits cannot be set by  
hardware in PWM mode therefore the Output  
Compare interrupt is inhibited.  
– Set OC1E bit: the OCMP1 pin is then dedicat-  
ed to the output compare 1 function.  
3. The ICF1 bit is set by hardware when the coun-  
ter reaches the OC2R value and can produce a  
timer interrupt if the ICIE bit is set and the I bit is  
cleared.  
– Set the PWM bit.  
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 16  
Clock Control Bits).  
Pulse Width Modulation cycle  
4. In PWM mode the ICAP1 pin can not be used  
to perform input capture because it is discon-  
nected to the timer. The ICAP2 pin can be used  
to perform input capture (ICF2 can be set and  
IC2R can be loaded) but the user must take  
care that the counter is reset each period and  
ICF1 can also generates interrupt if ICIE is set.  
When  
Counter  
= OC1R  
OCMP1 = OLVL1  
OCMP1 = OLVL2  
5. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and  
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the  
PWM mode is the only active one.  
When  
Counter  
= OC2R  
Counter is reset  
to FFFCh  
ICF1 bit is set

Description  
No effect on 16-bit Timer.  
Timer interrupts cause the device to exit from WAIT mode.  
WAIT  
HALT  
16-bit Timer registers are frozen.  
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until Halt mode is exited. Counting resumes from the previous  
count when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability or from the counter  
reset value when the MCU is woken up by a RESET.  
If an input capture event occurs on the ICAPi pin, the input capture detection circuitry is armed. Consequent-  
ly, when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability, the ICFi bit is set, and  
the counter value present when exiting from HALT mode is captured into the ICiR register.

10.5 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)  
10.5.1 Introduction  
Note: In slave mode, continuous transmission is  
not possible at maximum frequency due to the  
software overhead for clearing status flags and to  
initiate the next transmission sequence.  
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 however the SPI  
interface can not be a master in a multi-master  
system.  
10.5.3 General Description  
Figure 53 shows the serial peripheral interface  
(SPI) block diagram. There are 3 registers:  
10.5.2 Main Features  
– SPI Control Register (SPICR)  
– SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)  
– SPI Data Register (SPIDR)  
Full duplex synchronous transfers (on 3 lines)  
Simplex synchronous transfers (on 2 lines)  
Master or slave operation  
The SPI is connected to external devices through  
4 pins:  
Six master mode frequencies (f  
/4 max.)  
CPU  
f  
/2 max. slave mode frequency (see note)  
CPU  
– MISO: Master In / Slave Out data  
– MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data  
SS Management by software or hardware  
Programmable clock polarity and phase  
End of transfer interrupt flag  
– SCK: Serial Clock out by SPI masters and in-  
put by SPI slaves

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (Cont’d)  
– SS: Slave select:  
The communication is always initiated by the mas-  
ter. When the master device transmits data to a  
slave device via MOSI pin, the slave device re-  
sponds by sending data to the master device via  
the MISO pin. This implies full duplex communica-  
tion with both data out and data in synchronized  
with the same clock signal (which is provided by  
the master device via the SCK pin).  
This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let  
the SPI master communicate with slaves indi-  
vidually and to avoid contention on the data  
lines. Slave SS inputs can be driven by stand-  
ard I/O ports on the master MCU.  
10.5.3.1 Functional Description  
A basic example of interconnections between a  
single master and a single slave is illustrated in  
Figure 54.  
To use a single data line, the MISO and MOSI pins  
must be connected at each node ( in this case only  
simplex communication is possible).  
The MOSI pins are connected together and the  
MISO pins are connected together. In this way  
data is transferred serially between master and  
slave (most significant bit first).  
Four possible data/clock timing relationships may  
be chosen (see Figure 57) but master and slave  
must be programmed with the same timing mode.

10.5.3.2 Slave Select Management  
In Slave Mode:  
As an alternative to using the SS pin to control the  
Slave Select signal, the application can choose to  
manage the Slave Select signal by software. This  
is configured by the SSM bit in the SPICSR regis-  
ter (see Figure 56)  
There are two cases depending on the data/clock  
timing relationship (see Figure 55):  
If CPHA=1 (data latched on 2nd clock edge):

10.5.3.3 Master Mode Operation  
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the  
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg-  
ister is read.  
In master mode, the serial clock is output on the  
SCK pin. The clock frequency, polarity and phase  
are configured by software (refer to the description  
of the SPICSR register).  
10.5.3.5 Slave Mode Operation  
In slave mode, the serial clock is received on the  
SCK pin from the master device.  
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to  
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by  
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if  
CPOL=0).  
To operate the SPI in slave mode:  
1. Write to the SPICSR register to perform the fol-  
lowing actions:  
To operate the SPI in master mode, perform the  
following steps in order (if the SPICSR register is  
not written first, the SPICR register setting (MSTR  
bit) may be not taken into account):  
– Select the clock polarity and clock phase by  
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits (see  
Figure 57).  
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL  
and CPHA settings as the master.  
– Manage the SS pin as described in Section  
10.5.3.2 and Figure 55. If CPHA=1 SS must  
be held low continuously. If CPHA=0 SS must  
be held low during byte transmission and  
pulled up between each byte to let the slave  
write in the shift register.  
1. Write to the SPICR register:  
– Select the clock frequency by configuring the  
SPR[2:0] bits.  
– Select the clock polarity and clock phase by  
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits. Figure  
57 shows the four possible configurations.  
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL  
and CPHA settings as the master.  
2. Write to the SPICR register to clear the MSTR  
bit and set the SPE bit to enable the SPI I/O  
functions.  
2. Write to the SPICSR register:  
– Either set the SSM bit and set the SSI bit or  
clear the SSM bit and tie the SS pin high for  
the complete byte transmit sequence.  
10.5.3.6 Slave Mode Transmit Sequence  
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the  
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and  
then shifted out serially to the MISO pin most sig-  
nificant bit first.  
3. Write to the SPICR register:  
– Set the MSTR and SPE bits  
Note: MSTR and SPE bits remain set only if  
SS is high).  
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.  
The transmit sequence begins when software  
writes a byte in the SPIDR register.  
10.5.3.4 Master Mode Transmit Sequence  
When data transfer is complete:  
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware  
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the  
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and  
then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin most sig-  
nificant bit first.  
– An interrupt request is generated if SPIE bit is  
set and interrupt mask in the CCR register is  
cleared.  
When data transfer is complete:  
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware  
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following  
software sequence:  
– An interrupt request is generated if the SPIE  
bit is set and the interrupt mask in the CCR  
register is cleared.  
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the  
SPIF bit is set.  
2. A write or a read to the SPIDR register.  
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following  
software sequence:  
Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the  
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg-  
ister is read.  
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the  
SPIF bit is set  
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 10.5.5.2).  
2. A read to the SPIDR register.

10.5.4 Clock Phase and Clock Polarity  
Figure 57, 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.  
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen  
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits (See  
Figure 57).  
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to  
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by  
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if  
CPOL=0).  
Note: If CPOL is changed at the communication  
byte boundaries, the SPI must be disabled by re-  
setting the SPE bit.  
The combination of the CPOL clock polarity and  
CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data capture  
clock edge

not cleared the SPIF bit issued from the previously  
transmitted byte.  
10.5.5.1 Master Mode Fault (MODF)  
When an Overrun occurs:  
Master mode fault occurs when the master device  
has its SS pin pulled low.  
– The OVR bit is set and an interrupt request is  
generated if the SPIE bit is set.  
When a Master mode fault occurs:  
In this case, the receiver buffer contains the byte  
sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read to  
the SPIDR register returns this byte. All other  
bytes are lost.  
– The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt re-  
quest 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 OVR bit is cleared by reading the SPICSR  
register.  
– The MSTR bit is reset, thus forcing the device  
into slave mode.  
10.5.5.3 Write Collision Error (WCOL)  
A write collision occurs when the software tries to  
write to the SPIDR register while a data transfer is  
taking place with an external device. When this  
happens, the transfer continues uninterrupted;  
and the software write will be unsuccessful.  
Clearing the MODF bit is done through a software  
sequence:  
1. A read access to the SPICSR register while the  
MODF bit is set.  
2. A write to the SPICR register.  
Write collisions can occur both in master and slave  
mode. See also Section 10.5.3.2 Slave Select  
Management.  
Notes: To avoid any conflicts in an application  
with multiple slaves, the SS pin must be pulled  
high during the MODF bit clearing sequence. The  
SPE and MSTR bits may be restored to their orig-  
inal state during or after this clearing sequence.  
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.  
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.  
The WCOL bit in the SPICSR register is set if a  
write collision occurs.  
10.5.5.2 Overrun Condition (OVR)  
No SPI interrupt is generated when the WCOL bit  
is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only).  
An overrun condition occurs, when the master de-  
vice has sent a data byte and the slave device has

10.5.5.4 Single Master Systems  
Note: To prevent a bus conflict on the MISO line  
the master allows only one active slave device  
during a transmission.  
A typical single master system may be configured,  
using an MCU as the master and four MCUs as  
slaves (see Figure 59).  
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 to its SPIDR  
register.  
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.  
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.  
Other transmission security methods can use  
ports for handshake lines or data bytes with com-  
mand fields.

10.5.6 Low Power Modes  
Note: When waking up from Halt mode, if the SPI  
remains in Slave mode, it is recommended to per-  
form an extra communications cycle to bring the  
SPI from Halt mode state to normal state. If the  
SPI exits from Slave mode, it returns to normal  
state immediately.  
Mode  
Description  
No effect on SPI.  
WAIT  
SPI interrupt events cause the device to exit  
from WAIT mode.  
SPI registers are frozen.  
Caution: The SPI can wake up the ST7 from Halt  
mode only if the Slave Select signal (external SS  
pin or the SSI bit in the SPICSR register) is low  
when the ST7 enters Halt mode. So if Slave selec-  
tion is configured as external (see Section  
10.5.3.2), make sure the master drives a low level  
on the SS pin when the slave enters Halt mode.  
In HALT mode, the SPI is inactive. SPI oper-  
ation resumes when the MCU is woken up by  
an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” ca-  
pability. The data received is subsequently  
read from the SPIDR register when the soft-  
ware is running (interrupt vector fetching). If  
several data are received before the wake-  
up event, then an overrun error is generated.  
This error can be detected after the fetch of  
the interrupt routine that woke up the device.

Notes: During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is  
set, a copy of the received data byte in the shift  
register is moved to a buffer. When the user reads  
the serial peripheral data I/O register, the buffer is  
actually being read.  
Bit 4 = MODF Mode Fault flag (Read only).  
This bit is set by hardware when the SS pin is  
pulled low in master mode (see Section 10.5.5.1  
Master Mode Fault (MODF)). An SPI interrupt can  
be generated if SPIE=1 in the SPICSR register.  
This bit is cleared by a software sequence (An ac-  
cess to the SPICR register while MODF=1 fol-  
lowed by a write to the SPICR register).  
While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the SPIDR  
register are inhibited until the SPICSR register is  
read.  
Warning: A write to the SPIDR register places  
data directly into the shift register for transmission.  
0: No master mode fault detected  
1: A fault in master mode has been detected  
A read to the SPIDR register returns the value lo-  
cated in the buffer and not the content of the shift  
register (see Figure 53).

10.6 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (SCI)  
10.6.1 Introduction  
10.6.3 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 61):  
– TDO: Transmit Data Output. When the transmit-  
ter and the receiver are disabled, the output pin  
returns to its I/O port configuration. When the  
transmitter and/or the receiver are enabled and  
nothing is to be transmitted, the TDO pin is at  
high level.  
10.6.2 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 500K baud.  
Programmable data word length (8 or 9 bits)  
– 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 these pins, serial data is transmitted and  
received as frames comprising:  
Receive buffer full, Transmit buffer empty and  
– An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception  
– A start bit  
End of Transmission flags  
Two receiver wake-up modes:  
– Address bit (MSB)  
– A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first  
– A Stop bit indicating that the frame is complete.  
Thisinterfaceusestwotypesofbaudrategenerator:  
– Idle line

– A conventional type for commonly-used baud  
rates,  
Separate enable bits for Transmitter and  
Receiver  
– An extended type with a prescaler offering a very  
wide range of baud rates even with non-standard  
oscillator frequencies.  
Four error detection flags:  
– Overrun error  
– Noise error  
– Frame error  
– Parity error  
Five interrupt sources with flags:  
– Transmit data register empty  
– Transmission complete  
– Receive data register full  
– Idle line received

10.6.4 Functional Description  
10.6.4.1 Serial Data Format  
The block diagram of the Serial Control Interface,  
is shown in Figure 60. 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 SCICR1 reg-  
ister (see Figure 60).  
– Two control registers (SCICR1 & SCICR2)  
– A status register (SCISR)  
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 (SCIBRR)  
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame  
of “1”s followed by the start bit of the next frame  
which contains data.

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.

10.6.4.2 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 SCICR1  
register.  
Clearing the TC bit is performed by the following  
software sequence:  
1. An access to the SCISR register  
2. A write to the SCIDR register  
Character Transmission  
During an SCI transmission, data shifts out least  
significant bit first on the TDO pin. In this mode,  
the SCIDR register consists of a buffer (TDR) be-  
tween the internal bus and the transmit shift regis-  
ter (see Figure 60).  
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 61).  
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 SCIBRR  
and the SCIETPR 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 SCISR register and write the data to  
send in the SCIDR 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 SCISR register  
2. A write to the SCIDR 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 SCIDR.  
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 SCIDR regis-  
ter 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 SCIDR register stores the data in  
the TDR register and which is copied in the shift  
register at the end of the current transmission.  
When no transmission is taking place, a write in-  
struction to the SCIDR register places the data di-  
rectly in the shift register, the data transmission  
starts, and the TDRE bit is immediately set.

10.6.4.3 Receiver  
RDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not  
cleared.  
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 SCICR1  
register.  
When a overrun error occurs:  
– The OR bit is set.  
– The RDR content will not be lost.  
– The shift register will be overwritten.  
Character reception  
During a SCI reception, data shifts in least signifi-  
cant bit first through the RDI pin. In this mode, the  
SCIDR register consists or a buffer (RDR) be-  
tween the internal bus and the received shift regis-  
ter (see Figure 60).  
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and  
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.  
The OR bit is reset by an access to the SCISR reg-  
ister followed by a SCIDR register read operation.  
Procedure  
Noise Error  
– Select the M bit to define the word length.  
Oversampling techniques are used for data recov-  
ery by discriminating between valid incoming data  
and noise. Normal data bits are considered valid if  
three consecutive samples (8th, 9th, 10th) have  
the same bit value, otherwise the NF flag is set. In  
the case of start bit detection, the NF flag is set on  
the basis of an algorithm combining both valid  
edge detection and three samples (8th, 9th, 10th).  
Therefore, to prevent the NF flag getting set during  
start bit reception, there should be a valid edge de-  
tection as well as three valid samples.  
– Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR  
and the SCIERPR registers.  
– Set the RE bit, this enables the receiver which  
begins searching for a start bit.  
When a character is received:  
– The RDRF bit is set. It indicates that the content  
of the shift register is transferred to the RDR.  
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and  
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.  
When noise is detected in a frame:  
– The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise  
or an overrun error has been detected during re-  
ception.  
– The NF flag is set at the rising edge of the RDRF  
bit.  
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the  
SCIDR register.  
Clearing the RDRF bit is performed by the following  
software sequence done by:  
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises  
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself  
generates an interrupt.  
1. An access to the SCISR register  
2. A read to the SCIDR register.  
The RDRF bit must be cleared before the end of the  
reception of the next character to avoid an overrun  
error.  
The NF flag is reset by a SCISR register read op-  
eration followed by a SCIDR register read opera-  
tion.  
Break Character  
During reception, if a false start bit is detected (e.g.  
8th, 9th, 10th samples are 011,101,110), the  
frame is discarded and the receiving sequence is  
not started for this frame. There is no RDRF bit set  
for this frame and the NF flag is set internally (not  
accessible to the user). This NF flag is accessible  
along with the RDRF bit when a next valid frame is  
received.  
When a break character is received, the SPI han-  
dles it as a framing error.  
Idle Character  
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.  
Note: If the application Start Bit is not long enough  
to match the above requirements, then the NF  
Flag may get set due to the short Start Bit. In this  
case, the NF flag may be ignored by the applica-  
tion software when the first valid byte is received.  
Overrun Error  
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

other than zero. The baud rates are calculated as

– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the

ETPR = 1,..,255 (see SCIETPR register)  
ERPR = 1,.. 255 (see SCIERPR register)  
10.6.4.6 Receiver Muting and Wake-up Feature  
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises  
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself  
generates an interrupt.  
In multiprocessor configurations it is often desira-  
ble that only the intended message recipient  
should actively receive the full message contents,  
thus reducing redundant SCI service overhead for  
all non addressed receivers.  
The FE bit is reset by a SCISR register read oper-  
ation followed by a SCIDR register read operation.  
10.6.4.4 Conventional Baud Rate Generation  
The baud rate for the receiver and transmitter (Rx  
and Tx) are set independently and calculated as  
follows:  
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:

A muted receiver may be awakened by one of the  
following two ways:  
PR = 1, 3, 4 or 13 (see SCP[1:0] bits)  
TR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128  
(see SCT[2:0] bits)  
– by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,  
– by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.  
RR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128  
(see SCR[2:0] bits)  
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.  
All these bits are in the SCIBRR register.  
Example: If f is 8 MHz (normal mode) and if  
CPU  
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, resets 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.  
PR=13 and TR=RR=1, the transmit and receive  
baud rates are 38400 baud.  
Note: the baud rate registers MUST NOT be  
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is en-  
abled.  
10.6.4.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation  
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.  
Caution: In Mute mode, do not write to the  
SCICR2 register. If the SCI is in Mute mode during  
the read operation (RWU=1) and a address mark  
wake up event occurs (RWU is reset) before the  
write operation, the RWU bit will be set again by  
this write operation. Consequently the address  
byte is lost and the SCI is not woken up from Mute  
mode.  
The extended baud rate generator block diagram  
is described in the Figure 62.  
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  
SCIERPR or the SCIETPR register.

even number of “1s” if even parity is selected  
(PS=0) or an odd number of “1s” if odd parity is se-  
lected (PS=1). If the parity check fails, the PE flag  
is set in the SCISR register and an interrupt is gen-  
erated if PIE is set in the SCICR1 register.  
Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmis-  
sion and parity checking in reception) can be ena-  
bled by setting the PCE bit in the SCICR1 register.  
Depending on the frame length defined by the M  
bit, the possible SCI frame formats are as listed in  
Table 20.  
10.6.4.8 SCI Clock Tolerance  
During reception, each bit is sampled 16 times.  
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is  
considered as the bit value. For a valid bit detec-  
tion, all the three samples should have the same  
value otherwise the noise flag (NF) is set. For ex-  
ample: if the 8th, 9th and 10th samples are 0, 1  
and 1 respectively, then the bit value will be “1”,  
but the Noise Flag bit is be set because the three  
samples values are not the same.

| SB | 9-bit data | STB |  
| SB | 8-bit data PB | STB |  
Legend: SB = Start Bit, STB = Stop Bit,  
PB = Parity Bit  
Consequently, the bit length must be long enough  
so that the 8th, 9th and 10th samples have the de-  
sired bit value. This means the clock frequency  
should not vary more than 6/16 (37.5%) within one  
bit. The sampling clock is resynchronized at each  
start bit, so that when receiving 10 bits (one start  
bit, 1 data byte, 1 stop bit), the clock deviation  
must not exceed 3.75%.  
Note: In case of wake up by an address mark, the  
MSB bit of the data is taken into account and not  
the parity bit  
Even parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain  
an even number of “1s” inside the frame made of  
the 7 or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is  
equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.  
Note: The internal sampling clock of the microcon-  
troller samples the pin value on every falling edge.  
Therefore, the internal sampling clock and the time  
the application expects the sampling to take place  
may be out of sync. For example: If the baud rate  
is 15.625 kbaud (bit length is 64µs), then the 8th,  
9th and 10th samples will be at 28µs, 32µs & 36µs  
respectively (the first sample starting ideally at  
0µs). But if the falling edge of the internal clock oc-  
curs just before the pin value changes, the sam-  
ples would then be out of sync by ~4us. This  
means the entire bit length must be at least 40µs  
(36µs for the 10th sample + 4µs for synchroniza-  
tion with the internal sampling clock).  
Ex: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be  
0 if even parity is selected (PS bit = 0).  
Odd parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain an  
odd number of “1s” inside the frame made of the 7  
or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to  
0 or 1) and the parity bit.  
Ex: data=00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit will be  
1 if odd parity is selected (PS bit = 1).  
Transmission mode: If the PCE bit is set then the  
MSB bit of the data written in the data register is  
not transmitted but is changed by the parity bit.  
Reception mode: If the PCE bit is set then the in-  
terface checks if the received data byte has an

The interface can operate in the four following  
modes:  
– Slave transmitter/receiver  
7-bit/10-bit Addressing  
SMBus V1.1 Compliant  
Transmitter/Receiver flag  
End-of-byte transmission flag  
Transfer problem detection  
– Master transmitter/receiver  
By default, it operates in slave mode.  
The interface automatically switches from slave to  
master after it generates a START condition and  
from master to slave in case of arbitration loss or a  
STOP generation, allowing then Multi-Master ca-  
pability.

always begins with a start condition and ends with  
a stop condition. Both start and stop conditions are  
generated in master mode by software.  
End of byte transmission flag  
Transmitter/Receiver Flag

10.7.4 Functional Description  
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 reg-  
ister followed by a read of the DR register, holding  
the SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer se-  
quencing EV2).  
Refer to the CR, SR1 and SR2 registers in Section  
10.7.7. for the bit definitions.  
2
By default the I C interface operates in Slave  
Slave Transmitter  
mode (M/SL bit is cleared) except when it initiates  
a transmit or receive sequence.  
Following the address reception and after SR1  
register has been read, the slave sends bytes from  
the DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift  
register.  
First the interface frequency must be configured  
using the FRi bits in the OAR2 register.  
10.7.4.1 Slave Mode  
The slave waits for a read of the SR1 register fol-  
lowed by a write in the DR register, holding the  
SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer sequencing  
EV3).  
As soon as a start condition is detected, the  
address is received from the SDA line and sent to  
the shift register; then it is compared with the  
address of the interface or the General Call  
address (if selected by software).  
When the acknowledge pulse is received:  
– The EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with  
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.  
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, the comparison  
includes the header sequence (11110xx0) and the  
two most significant bits of the address.  
Closing slave communication  
Header matched (10-bit mode only): the interface  
generates an acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is  
set.  
After the last data byte is transferred a Stop Con-  
dition is generated by the master. The interface  
detects this condition and sets:  
Address not matched: the interface ignores it  
and waits for another Start condition.  
– EVF and STOPF bits with an interrupt if the ITE  
bit is set.  
Address matched: the interface generates in se-  
quence:  
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR2 reg-  
ister (see Figure 66 Transfer sequencing EV4).  
Error Cases  
– Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set.  
BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition  
during a byte transfer. In this case, the EVF and  
the BERR bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE  
bit is set.  
If it is a Stop then the interface discards the data,  
released the lines and waits for another Start  
condition.  
– EVF and ADSL bits are set with an interrupt if the  
ITE bit is set.  
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 reg-  
ister, holding the SCL line low (see Figure 66  
Transfer sequencing EV1).  
Next, in 7-bit mode read the DR register to deter-  
mine from the least significant bit (Data Direction  
Bit) if the slave must enter Receiver or Transmitter  
mode.  
If it is a Start then the interface discards the data  
and waits for the next slave address on the bus.  
AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this  
case, the EVF and AF bits are set with an inter-  
rupt if the ITE bit is set.  
In 10-bit mode, after receiving the address se-  
quence the slave is always in receive mode. It will  
enter transmit mode on receiving a repeated Start  
condition followed by the header sequence with  
matching address bits and the least significant bit  
set (11110xx1).  
The AF bit is cleared by reading the I2CSR2 reg-  
ister. However, if read before the completion of  
the transmission, the AF flag will be set again,  
thus possibly generating a new interrupt. Soft-  
ware must ensure either that the SCL line is back  
at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be able  
to correctly handle a second interrupt during the  
9th pulse of a transmitted byte.  
Slave Receiver  
Following the address reception and after SR1  
register has been read, the slave receives bytes  
from the SDA line into the DR register via the inter-  
nal shift register. After each byte the interface gen-  
erates in sequence:  
Note: In case of errors, SCL line is not held low;  
however, the SDA line can remain low if the last  
bits transmitted are all 0. While AF=1, the SCL line  
may be held low due to SB or BTF flags that are  
set at the same time. It is then necessary to re-  
lease both lines by software.  
– Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set  
– EVF and BTF bits are set with an interrupt if the  
ITE bit is set.

Then the second address byte is sent by the inter-  
face.  
Set and subsequently clear the STOP bit while

ripheral.  
10.7.4.2 Master Mode  
Next the master must enter Receiver or Transmit-  
ter mode.  
To switch from default Slave mode to Master  
mode a Start condition generation is needed.  
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, to switch the  
master to Receiver mode, software must generate  
a repeated Start condition and resend the header  
sequence with the least significant bit set  
(11110xx1).  
Start condition  
Setting the START bit while the BUSY bit is  
cleared causes the interface to switch to Master  
mode (M/SL bit set) and generates a Start condi-  
tion.  
Master Receiver  
Following the address transmission and after SR1  
and CR registers have been accessed, the master  
receives bytes from the SDA line into the DR reg-  
ister via the internal shift register. After each byte  
the interface generates in sequence:  
Once the Start condition is sent:  
– The EVF and SB bits are set by hardware with  
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.  
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-  
ter followed by a write in the DR register with the  
Slave address, holding the SCL line low (see  
Figure 66 Transfer sequencing EV5).  
– Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set  
– EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with an in-  
terrupt if the ITE bit is set.  
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 reg-  
ister followed by a read of the DR register, holding  
the SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer se-  
quencing EV7).  
Slave address transmission  
Then the slave address is sent to the SDA line via  
the internal shift register.  
To close the communication: before reading the  
last byte from the DR register, set the STOP bit to  
generate the Stop condition. The interface goes  
automatically back to slave mode (M/SL bit  
cleared).  
In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is  
sent.  
In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the first byte  
including the header sequence causes the follow-  
ing event:  
Note: In order to generate the non-acknowledge  
pulse after the last received data byte, the ACK bit  
must be cleared just before reading the second  
last data byte.  
– The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt  
generation if the ITE bit is set.  
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-  
ter followed by a write in the DR register, holding  
the SCL line low (see Figure 66 Transfer se-  
quencing EV9).

Multimaster Mode  
Following the address transmission and after SR1  
register has been read, the master sends bytes  
from the DR register to the SDA line via the inter-  
nal shift register.  
Normally the BERR bit would be set whenever  
unauthorized transmission takes place while  
transfer is already in progress. However, an is-  
sue will arise if an external master generates an

sion. The resetting of the BUSY bit can then be  
handled in a similar manner as the BERR flag  
being set.  
– EVF and BTF bits with an interrupt if the ITE bit  
is set.  
AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this  
case, the EVF and AF bits are set by hardware  
with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set. To resume,  
set the Start or Stop bit.  
The AF bit is cleared by reading the I2CSR2 reg-  
ister. However, if read before the completion of  
the transmission, the AF flag will be set again,  
thus possibly generating a new interrupt. Soft-  
ware must ensure either that the SCL line is back  
at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be able  
to correctly handle a second interrupt during the  
9th pulse of a transmitted byte.  
To close the communication: after writing the last  
byte to the DR register, set the STOP bit to gener-  
ate the Stop condition. The interface goes auto-  
matically back to slave mode (M/SL bit cleared).  
Error Cases  
BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition  
during a byte transfer. In this case, the EVF and  
BERR bits are set by hardware with an interrupt  
if ITE is set.  
Note that BERR will not be set if an error is de-  
tected during the first or second pulse of each 9-  
bit transaction:  
ARLO: Detection of an arbitration lost condition.  
In this case the ARLO bit is set by hardware (with  
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set and the interface  
goes automatically back to slave mode (the M/SL  
bit is cleared).  
Single Master Mode  
If a Start or Stop is issued during the first or sec-  
ond pulse of a 9-bit transaction, the BERR flag  
will not be set and transfer will continue however  
the BUSY flag will be reset. To work around this,  
slave devices should issue a NACK when they  
receive a misplaced Start or Stop. The reception  
of a NACK or BUSY by the master in the middle  
Note: In all these cases, the SCL line is not held  
low; however, the SDA line can remain low due to  
possible «0» bits transmitted last. It is then neces-  
sary to release both lines by software.

followed by reading the byte from DR register.  
Bit 6 = ADD10 10-bit addressing in Master mode.  
This bit is set by hardware when the master has  
sent the first byte in 10-bit address mode. It is  
cleared by software reading SR2 register followed  
by a write in the DR register of the second address  
byte. It is also cleared by hardware when the pe-  
ripheral is disabled (PE=0).  
The SCL line is held low while BTF=1.

are checked for correctness and acknowledged  
accordingly although such frames cannot be trans-  
mitted nor received. The same applies to overload  
frames which are recognized but never initiated.  
This peripheral is designed to support serial data  
exchanges using a multi-master contention based  
priority scheme as described in CAN specification  
Rev. 2.0 part A. It can also be connected to a 2.0 B  
network without problems, since extended frames

10.8.2 Main Features  
The acknowledgement (ACK) field comprises the  
ACK slot and the ACK delimiter. The bit in the ACK  
slot is placed on the bus by the transmitter as a re-  
cessive bit (logical 1). It is overwritten as a domi-  
nant bit (logical 0) by those receivers which have  
at this time received the data correctly. In this way,  
the transmitting node can be assured that at least  
one receiver has correctly received its message.  
Note that messages are acknowledged by the re-  
ceivers regardless of the outcome of the accept-  
ance test.  
– Support of CAN specification 2.0A and 2.0B pas-  
sive  
– Three prioritized 10-byte Transmit/Receive mes-  
sage buffers  
– Two programmable global 12-bit message ac-  
ceptance filters  
– Programmable baud rates up to 1 MBit/s  
– Buffer flip-flopping capability in transmission  
– Maskable interrupts for transmit, receive (one  
per buffer), error and wake-up  
The end of the message is indicated by the End Of  
Frame (EOF). The intermission field defines the  
minimum number of bit periods separating con-  
secutive messages. If there is no subsequent bus  
access by any station, the bus remains idle.  
– Automatic low-power mode after 20 recessive  
bits or on demand (standby mode)  
– Interrupt-driven wake-up from standby mode  
upon reception of dominant pulse  
10.8.3.2 Hardware Blocks  
The CAN controller contains the following func-  
tional blocks (refer to Figure 68):  
– Optional dominant pulse transmission on leaving  
standby mode  
– ST7 Interface: buffering of the ST7 internal bus  
and address decoding of the CAN registers.  
– Automatic message queuing for transmission  
upon writing of data byte 7  
– TX/RX Buffers: three 10-byte buffers for trans-  
mission and reception of maximum length mes-  
sages.  
– Programmable loop-back mode for self-test op-  
eration  
– Advanced error detection and diagnosis func-  
tions  
– ID Filters: two 12-bit compare and don’t care  
masks for message acceptance filtering.  
– Software-efficient buffer mapping at a unique ad-  
dress space  
– PSR: page selection register (see memory map).  
– BRPR: clock divider for different data rates.  
– BTR: bit timing register.  
– Scalable architecture.

10.8.3.1 Frame Formats  
– ICR: interrupt control register.  
– ISR: interrupt status register.  
A summary of all the CAN frame formats is given  
in Figure 69 for reference. It covers only the stand-  
ard frame format since the extended one is only  
acknowledged.  
– CSR: general purpose control/status register.  
– TECR: transmit error counter register.  
– RECR: receive error counter register.  
A message begins with a start bit called Start Of  
Frame (SOF). This bit is followed by the arbitration  
field which contains the 11-bit identifier (ID) and  
the Remote Transmission Request bit (RTR). The  
RTR bit indicates whether it is a data frame or a re-  
mote request frame. A remote request frame does  
not have any data byte.  
– BTL: bit timing logic providing programmable bit  
sampling and bit clock generation for synchroni-  
zation of the controller.  
– BCDL: bit coding logic generating a NRZ-coded  
datastream with stuff bits.  
– SHREG: 8-bit shift register for serialization of  
data to be transmitted and parallelisation of re-  
ceived data.  
The control field contains the Identifier Extension  
bit (IDE), which indicates standard or extended  
format, a reserved bit (ro) and, in the last four bits,  
a count of the data bytes (DLC). The data field  
ranges from zero to eight bytes and is followed by  
the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) used as a  
frame integrity check for detecting bit errors.  
– CRC: 15-bit CRC calculator and checker.  
– EML: error detection and management logic.  
– CAN Core: CAN 2.0B passive protocol control-  
ler.

10.8.3.3 Modes of Operation  
bit. If the WKPS bit is set in the CSR register,  
then the controller passes through WAKE-UP  
otherwise it enters RESYNC directly.  
It is important to note that the wake-up mecha-  
nism is software-driven and therefore carries a  
significant time overhead. All messages received  
after the wake-up bit and before the controller is  
set to run and has completed synchronization  
are ignored.  
The CAN Core unit assumes one of the seven  
states described below:  
STANDBY. Standby mode is entered either on a  
chip reset or on resetting the RUN bit in the Con-  
trol/Status Register (CSR). Any on-going trans-  
mission or reception operation is not interrupted  
and completes normally before the Bit Time Log-  
ic and the clock prescaler are turned off for mini-  
mum power consumption. This state is signalled  
by the RUN bit being read-back as 0.  
Once in standby, the only event monitored is the  
reception of a dominant bit which causes a wake-  
up interrupt if the SCIE bit of the Interrupt Control  
Register (ICR) is set.  
Note: Standby mode is not entered on resetting  
the RUN bit in the Control/Status register (CSR) if  
the CANRX pin is shorted to GND.  
WAKE-UP. The CAN bus line is forced to domi-  
nant for one bit time signalling the wake-up con-  
dition to all other bus members.  
The STANDBY mode is left by setting the RUN

RESYNC. The resynchronization mode is used  
to find the correct entry point for starting trans-  
mission or reception after the node has gone  
asynchronous either by going into the STANDBY  
or bus-off states.  
Resynchronization is achieved when 128 se-  
quences of 11 recessive bits have been moni-  
tored unless the node is not bus-off and the  
FSYN bit in the CSR register is set in which case  
a single sequence of 11 recessive bits needs to  
be monitored.  
allows transmitted messages to be simultane-  
ously received when they pass the acceptance  
filtering. This is particularly useful for checking  
the integrity of the communication path.  
RECEPTION. Once the CAN controller has syn-  
chronized itself onto the bus activity, it is ready  
for reception of new messages. Every incoming  
message gets its identifier compared to the ac-  
ceptance filters. If the bitwise comparison of the  
selected bits ends up with a match for at least  
one of the filters then that message is elected for  
reception and a target buffer is searched for. This  
buffer will be the first one - order is 1 to 3 - that  
has the LOCK and RDY bits of its BCSRx regis-  
ter reset.  
IDLE. The CAN controller looks for one of the fol-  
lowing events: the RUN bit is reset, a Start Of  
Frame appears on the CAN bus or the DATA7  
register of the currently active page is written to.  
– When no such buffer exists then an overrun  
interrupt is generated if the ORIE bit of the ICR  
register has been set. In this case the identifi-  
er of the last message is made available in the  
Last Identifier Register (LIDHR and LIDLR) at  
least until it gets overwritten by a new identifi-  
er picked-up from the bus.  
– When a buffer does exist, the accepted mes-  
sage gets written into it, the ACC bit in the  
BCSRx register gets the number of the match-  
ing filter, the RDY and RXIF bits get set and an  
interrupt is generated if the RXIE bit in the ISR  
register is set.  
Up to three messages can be automatically  
received without intervention from the CPU  
because each buffer has its own set of status  
bits, greatly reducing the reactiveness require-  
ments in the processing of the receive inter-  
rupts.  
TRANSMISSION. Once the LOCK bit of a Buffer  
Control/Status Register (BCSRx) has been set  
and read back as such, a transmit job can be  
submitted by writing to the DATA7 register. The  
message with the highest priority will be transmit-  
ted as soon as the CAN bus becomes idle.  
Among those messages with a pending trans-  
mission request, the highest priority is given to  
Buffer 3 then 2 and 1. If the transmission fails due  
to a lost arbitration or to an error while the NRTX  
bit of the CSR register is reset, then a new trans-  
mission attempt is performed. This goes on until  
the transmission ends successfully or until the  
job is cancelled by unlocking the buffer, by set-  
ting the NRTX bit or if the node ever enters bus-  
off or if a higher priority message becomes pend-  
ing. The RDY bit in the BCSRx register, which  
was set since the job was submitted, gets reset.  
When a transmission is in progress, the BUSY bit  
in the BCSRx register is set. If it ends successful-  
ly then the TXIF bit in the Interrupt Status Regis-  
ter (ISR) is set, else the TEIF bit is set. An  
interrupt is generated in either case provided the  
TXIE and TEIE bits of the ICR register are set.

ERROR. The error management as described in  
the CAN protocol is completely handled by hard-  
ware using 2 error counters which get increment-  
ed or decremented according to the error  
cation to determine the stability of the network.  
Moreover, as one of the node status bits (EPSV  
or BOFF of the CSR register) changes, an inter-  
rupt is generated if the SCIE bit is set in the ICR  
Register. Refer to Figure 71.

programmable between 1 and 4 time quanta.  
To guarantee the correct behaviour of the CAN  
controller, SYNC_SEG + BS1 + BS2 must be  
greater than or equal to 5 time quanta.  
Its operation may be explained simply when the  
nominal bit time is divided into three segments as  
follows:  
The CAN controller resynchronizes on recessive  
to dominant edges only.  
Synchronisation segment (SYNC_SEG): a bit  
change is expected to lie within this time seg-  
ment. It has a fixed length of one time quanta (1

CAN  
Bit segment 1 (BS1): defines the location of the  
sample point. It includes the PROP_SEG and  
PHASE_SEG1 of the CAN standard. Its duration  
is programmable between 1 and 16 time quanta  
but may be automatically lengthened to compen-  
sate for positive phase drifts due to differences in  
the frequency of the various nodes of the net-  
work.  
As a safeguard against programming errors, the  
configuration of the Bit Timing Register (BTR) is  
only possible while the device is in STANDBY  
mode.  
Bit segment 2 (BS2): defines the location of the  
transmit point. It represents the PHASE_SEG2  
of the CAN standard. Its duration is programma-  
ble between 1 and 8 time quanta but may also be  
automatically shortened to compensate for neg-  
ative phase drifts.

content and making it available for transmission.  
Cleared by software to make the buffer available  
for reception. Cancels any pending transmission  
request.  
Cleared by hardware once a message has been  
successfully transmitted provided the early trans-  
mit interrupt mode is on. Left untouched otherwise.  
Note that in order to prevent any message corrup-  
tion or loss of context, LOCK cannot be set nor re-  
set while BUSY is set. Trying to do so will result in  
LOCK not changing state.

10.8.5.1 Omitted SOF bit  
For CAN transmitted messages the 2nd data byte  
can be corrupted.  
Details:  
Symptom:  
The CAN transmit and receive buffers are imple-  
mented as dual ported RAM. During the reception  
of a CAN frame the CAN core writes the received  
identifier and the data byte-by-byte in the corre-  
sponding buffer.  
Start of Frame (SOF) bit is omitted if transmission  
is requested in the last Intermission bit.  
Test Case:

As this effect only occurs when the IUT detects a

10.8.5.3 Unexpected message transmission  
Symptom:  
cation might need to abort this transmission re-  
quest. To do so, the application can reset the  
LOCK bit in the BCSR register.  
The previous message received by pCAN, even if  
this message did not pass the receive filter, will be  
retransmitted by pCAN with a correct identifier and  
DLC but with corrupted data. The data bytes will  
be a copy of the identifier bytes IDHR and IDLR in  
the following repetitive pattern:  
DATA_0 = IDHR  
DATA_1 = IDLR  
DATA_2 = IDHR  
DATA_3 = IDLR  
etc.  
If the message is pending (RDY bit set) but not  
currently being transmitted, then clearing the  
LOCK bit will abort it immediately.  
If the message is pending (RDY bit set) and cur-  
rently being transmitted then the message will not  
be interrupted but the CAN core will wait until the  
end of this transmission attempt. Then software  
must clear the LOCK bit again to abort the trans-  
mission.  
An unexpected transmission can occur:  
IF the application resets the LOCK bit  
DATA_7 = IDLR  
If no message has been received before the prob-  
lem occurs then identifier byte values are random  
but the data bytes are in the same repetitive pat-  
tern.  
WHILE the CAN core is preparing the  
transmission AND there is no other transmission  
pending in another buffer  
1)  
THEN the LOCK bit is reset but the transmission is  
not stopped. Instead the content of the page 0  
buffer will be transmitted.  
Details:  
The buffers of the pCAN cell are configurable as  
receive or transmit buffers. By default, all buffers  
are configured in reception. To use a buffer to  
transmit a CAN message the application has to re-  
serve this buffer for transmission by setting the  
LOCK bit in the BCSR register. So the buffer is  
then locked for any further reception and reserved  
for transmission.  
Impact On The Application:  
pCAN will echo some messages sent by other  
nodes. Identifier and DLC will be correct but data  
are corrupted as described previously.  
Note 1: The preparation lasts two bit times just be-  
fore SOF, this is the critical window during which  
the LOCK bit must not be reset by the application.  
Once a transmission has been requested by a  
write access to data byte 7 of the buffer the appli-

Software Work-around - Devices with Hard-  
ware Fix (ST72F521 rev “R”):  
To abort the transmission, first the application sets  
the WKPS bit and polls it until it is set. The maxi-  
mum time needed to set this bit is two CAN bit  
times. Once the application has read the WKPS bit  
as one, it can reset the LOCK bit to stop the cur-  
rent transmission.  
To implement a transmission abort under safe  
conditions, the LOCK bit must not be reset during  
the critical window (2 bit times). A new function  
has been implemented in the MCU allowing the  
application to synchronize the reset of the LOCK  
bit (abort request) with the reset of the TXRQST bit  
(internal signal) in the pCAN core.  
The abort is completed when the LOCK bit is read  
back as zero by the application. Once the abort  
has been completed, the application must reset  
the WKPS bit to be able to transmit again. Of  
course the transmit buffer must be in LOCK state  
as usual before any transmission attempt.  
The synchronization is done using the WKPS bit in  
the CANCSR register, the function of this bit has  
been modified and no more Wake-up Pulse (dom-  
inant bit) is sent on the CAN_TX signal when the  
WKPS bit is set. This means the functionality de-  
scribed in the datasheet is no longer applicable  
(see Section 10.8.5.4).  
The “C” code sequence below shows the software  
work-around using the WKPS bit.  
CANCSR |= WKPS;  
// Set WKPS bit  
while(!(CANCSR & WKPS) );// Wait until WKPS bit is set  
while( CANBCSR & LOCK )// Wait until abort has been confirmed  
{
CANBCSR &= ~LOCK;  
}
CANCSR &= ~WKPS;  
CANBCSR |= LOCK;  
// Allow transmission again  
//Alloc buffer for next transmission

Software Work-around - Devices without Hard-  
ware Fix:  
Abort while staying in RUN mode (RUN=1)  
Contrary to the STANDBY case described previ-  
ously, in the RUN case the application has to han-  
dle the error or arbitration lost conditions. In case  
of transmission errors, causing the frame to be  
transmitted again and again, the application must  
set the NRTX bit in the CSR register. This will  
cause pCAN to abort the transmission at the end  
of the current attempt.  
To implement a transmission abort under safe  
conditions, any reset of the LOCK bit during the  
critical window (2 bit times) must be avoided. Two  
different cases have to be considered, either the  
pCAN enters standby mode after the abort, or the  
abort is performed and pCAN keeps running.  
In case of arbitration lost, setting the NRTX bit  
does not abort the transmission, therefore the ap-  
plication must reset the LOCK bit to abort the  
transmission. To avoid resetting the LOCK bit dur-  
ing the critical time window, leading to the problem  
described at the start of this section, the applica-  
tion must monitor the BUSY bit in the BCSR regis-  
ter and reset the LOCK bit just after the falling  
edge of the BUSY bit. The time between the falling  
edge of the BUSY bit and the SOF of the next  
transmission attempt is in any case long enough to  
guarantee that the LOCK bit is reset before the  
critical time window.  
Abort followed by STANDBY mode (RUN=0)  
In this case, aborting the pending transmissions  
can safely be done by first entering STANDBY  
mode and then releasing the transmit buffers.  
STANDBY mode is entered by resetting the RUN  
bit in the CSR register and once the current trans-  
mission attempt, even if it fails due to error or lost  
arbitration, has been performed, pCAN enters  
STANDBY mode (RUN=0). Once in STANDBY  
mode the application can abort all pending trans-  
missions by resetting the corresponding LOCK bit.  
The “C” code sequence below shows the software  
work-around for both the error and arbitration lost  
cases.  
_asm("SIM\n");  
CANCSR |= NRTX;  
// Mask interrupts  
// Set non automatic retransmission bit  
while(!(CANBCSR & BUSY) &&// Wait till BUSY bit is set  
(CANBCSR & RDY) ); // or transmission done  
while( CANBCSR & BUSY ); // Wait till BUSY bit is reset (falling edge)  
if( CANBCSR & RDY )  
{ // transmission still pending -> must be aborted  
CANBCSR &= ~LOCK; //Arbitration lost => cancel transmission safel  
while( CANBCSR & RDY );// Wait for unlock confirmed  
CANCSR &= ~NRTX;// Reset NRTX bit once abort sequence done  
_asm("RIM\n");  
}
else  
{ // No more abort required as RDY bit already reset  
CANCSR &= ~NRTX;// Reset NRTX bit once abort sequence done  
_asm("RIM\n"); // Enable interrupts

In this case the NRTX bit is set but has no effect,  
as the previous transmission attempt failed due to  
an arbitration lost. The application waits for the  
falling edge of BUSY bit and checks that READY is  
still set. This is the case, this means pCAN has lost  
the arbitration and LOCK bit can be safely reset.  
Abort is immediate and pCAN resets the READY  
and BUSY bits.  
In this case the abort request performed during the  
transmission has no effect, as the first transmis-  
sion is successful.

Timing Considerations  
As no interrupt signals that an abort has been suc-  
cessful, the application has to wait until the trans-  
mit buffer is empty (transmission has been aborted  
or transmitted successfully). This time can vary  
depending on the case in which the abort is per-  
formed (arbitration lost, error or successful trans-  
mission). To show the impact of the software work-  
around on this timing behaviour Figure 80 and Fig-  
ure 81 compare the reference behaviour (worst  
case when abort is done by LOCK only) with the  
behaviour when NRTX, BUSY and LOCK bits are  
used.  
CAN TX  
CAN RX  
LOCK  
READY  
BUSY  
NRTX  
In this case the NRTX bit is set to abort the trans-  
mission after the first attempt. As the first attempt  
is successful the READY and BUSY bits are reset  
by pCAN and the transmit buffer becomes empty.  
An abort is no longer required.

The worst case is when the abort request is done  
when the transmission has just started. In this  
case the LOCK bit cannot be reset as long as the  
BUSY bit is set, this means until the end of the  
frame. So the application will wait for READY to be  
reset during the whole frame and in this case the  
worst case will be the longest frame the applica-  
tion is expected to transmit.  
reset. If the next arbitration is won by pCAN then  
the BUSY bit will be reset by the end of the suc-  
cessful transmission. The longest time the applica-  
tion has to wait in this case is the time of the long-  
est message expected on the bus (minus identifi-  
er) plus the longest message expected to be trans-  
mitted by the application. This roughly double the  
time the application may have to wait before the  
abort sequence is performed.

10.8.5.5 Bus-off state not entered  
Symptom:  
ue lower than 128, this is the case with any correct  
reception even if the message is filtered out.  
As bus-off state is not entered and pCAN still at-  
tempts to transmit its message, after the overflow  
the TEC register continues to increment as long as  
transmission errors occur.  
pCAN does not enter bus-off state under certain  
conditions. This is fixed in FLASH version of  
ST72F521 starting from silicon Rev R and in ROM  
version ST72521B starting from silicon Rev Y.  
Impact on the application:  
Details:  
The application will not stop attempting to transmit  
CAN messages, even when the bus-off conditions  
have been reached, until the transmission has  
been successful or the value of REC becomes  
lower than 128. However the application will not  
disturb the communication of the other nodes on  
the CAN network as pCAN is in Error Passive  
State.  
According to the CAN standard, pCAN is expected  
to enter bus-off state when TEC (Transmit Error  
Counter) is greater than 255.  
But if REC (Receive Error Counter) is greater than  
127 (Error Passive State) pCAN does not enter  
bus-off and the BOFF bit of the CSR register is not  
set. To enter bus-off, REC must decrease to a val-

Workaround Description  
to reach 256 the sequence must be executed 32  
times. Under these conditions the shortest se-  
quence leading to a TEC overflow lasts 832 bit  
times.  
The bus-off entry works correctly in almost all cas-  
es, only when REC is greater than 127 a bus-off  
will not be recognized by pCAN. Therefore the  
pCAN bus-off signalling (BOFF) is still used but it  
needs to be complemented by monitoring TEC by  
software.  
Depending on the baudrate the application will  
have to adapt the monitoring period, for example  
at 500kbps the period must be less than 1600us.  
To detect the bus-off condition by software the ap-  
plication has to monitor the value of the TEC reg-  
ister periodically. An overflow signals a bus-off  
condition. When a bus-off condition has been de-  
tected the application must execute the following  
sequence to recover from bus-off properly: the ap-  
plication stops pCAN by clearing the RUN bit in the  
CANCSR register resets all pending transmission  
by clearing the LOCK bit in the BCSR register and  
starts it again by setting the RUN bit.  
The ‘C’ code below shows an implementation ex-  
ample of the monitoring sequence. This code is  
called periodically as described above.  
To detect the overflow, the test condition must  
take into account that TEC might also have been  
decremented due to a successful transmission. So  
an overflow condition is detected:  
IF the current TEC value is lower than the previous  
TEC value  
AND the difference is greater than the number of  
possible successful transmissions during the mon-  
itoring period.  
To detect the bus-off condition properly, the TEC  
monitoring period must be lower than the time be-  
tween two overflows. As the problem only occurs  
when pCAN is in Error Passive State (REC > 127)  
pCAN will continuously try to send a SOF followed  
by an Error Passive Flag and a Suspend Trans-  
mission. This leads to 26 (1 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 8) bit  
times. Each time TEC is incremented by 8, hence  
In the example above, one message can be sent,  
therefore one is added to CANTECR.

The on-chip Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) pe-  
ripheral is a 10-bit, successive approximation con-  
verter with internal sample and hold circuitry. This  
peripheral has up to 16 multiplexed analog input  
channels (refer to device pin out description) that  
allow the peripheral to convert the analog voltage  
levels from up to 16 different sources.  
The result of the conversion is stored in a 10-bit  
Data Register. The A/D converter is controlled  
through a Control/Status Register.

10.9.3 Functional Description  
The conversion is monotonic, meaning that the re-  
sult never decreases if the analog input does not  
and never increases if the analog input does not.  
To read the 10 bits, perform the following steps:  
1. Poll the EOC bit  
2. Read the ADCDRL register  
If the input voltage (V ) is greater than V  
AIN  
AREF  
3. Read the ADCDRH register. This clears EOC  
automatically.  
(high-level voltage reference) then the conversion  
result is FFh in the ADCDRH register and 03h in  
the ADCDRL register (without overflow indication).  
Note: The data is not latched, so both the low and  
the high data register must be read before the next  
conversion is complete, so it is recommended to  
disable interrupts while reading the conversion re-  
sult.  
If the input voltage (V ) is lower than V  
(low-  
SSA  
AIN  
level voltage reference) then the conversion result  
in the ADCDRH and ADCDRL registers is 00 00h.  
The A/D converter is linear and the digital result of  
the conversion is stored in the ADCDRH and AD-  
CDRL registers. The accuracy of the conversion is  
described in the Electrical Characteristics Section.  
To read only 8 bits, perform the following steps:  
1. Poll the EOC bit  
2. Read the ADCDRH register. This clears EOC  
automatically.  
R
is the maximum recommended impedance  
AIN  
for an analog input signal. If the impedance is too  
high, this will result in a loss of accuracy due to  
leakage and sampling not being completed in the  
alloted time.  
10.9.3.3 Changing the conversion channel  
The application can change channels during con-  
version. When software modifies the CH[3:0] bits  
in the ADCCSR register, the current conversion is  
stopped, the EOC bit is cleared, and the A/D con-  
verter starts converting the newly selected chan-  
nel.  
10.9.3.1 A/D Converter Configuration  
The analog input ports must be configured as in-  
put, no pull-up, no interrupt. Refer to the «I/O  
ports» chapter. Using these pins as analog inputs  
does not affect the ability of the port to be read as  
a logic input.  
10.9.4 Low Power Modes  
Note: The A/D converter may be disabled by re-  
setting the ADON bit. This feature allows reduced  
power consumption when no conversion is need-  
ed and between single shot conversions.  
In the ADCCSR register:  
– Select the CS[3:0] bits to assign the analog  
channel to convert.  
10.9.3.2 Starting the Conversion  
Mode  
Description  
WAIT  
No effect on A/D Converter  
A/D Converter disabled.  
In the ADCCSR register:  
– Set the ADON bit to enable the A/D converter  
and to start the conversion. From this time on,  
the ADC performs a continuous conversion of  
the selected channel.  
After wakeup from Halt mode, the A/D  
Converter requires a stabilization time  
HALT  
t
(see Electrical Characteristics)  
STAB  
before accurate conversions can be  
performed.  
When a conversion is complete:  
– The EOC bit is set by hardware.  
– The result is in the ADCDR registers.  
A read to the ADCDRH resets the EOC bit.  
10.9.5 Interrupts  
None.

11 INSTRUCTION SET  
11.1 CPU ADDRESSING MODES  
so, most of the addressing modes may be subdi-  
vided in two sub-modes called long and short:  
The CPU 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.  
Addressing Mode  
Inherent  
Example  
nop  
– Short addressing mode is less powerful because  
it can generally only access page zero (0000h -  
00FFh range), but the instruction size is more  
compact, and faster. All memory to memory in-  
structions use short addressing modes only

INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW (Cont’d)  
11.1.1 Inherent  
11.1.3 Direct  
All Inherent instructions consist of a single byte.  
The opcode fully specifies all the required informa-  
tion for the CPU to process the operation.  
In Direct instructions, the operands are referenced  
by their memory address.  
The direct addressing mode consists of two sub-  
modes:  
Inherent Instruction

Notes:  
1. Directly connecting the RESET and I/O pins to V or V could damage the device if an unintentional internal reset  
DD  
SS  
is generated or an unexpected change of the I/O configuration occurs (for example, due to a corrupted program counter).  
To guarantee safe operation, this connection has to be done through a pull-up or pull-down resistor (typical: 4.7kfor  
RESET, 10kfor I/Os). For the same reason, unused I/O pins must not be directly tied to V or V  
.
DD  
SS  
2. I  
must never be exceeded. This is implicitly insured if V maximum is respected. If V maximum cannot be  
INJ(PIN)  
IN  
INJ(PIN)  
IN  
respected, the injection current must be limited externally to the I  
value. A positive injection is induced by V >V  
IN DD  
while a negative injection is induced by V <V . For true open-drain pads, there is no positive injection current, and the  
corresponding V maximum must always be respected  
IN  
SS  
IN  
3. All power (V ) and ground (V ) lines must always be connected to the external supply.  
DD  
SS  
4. Negative injection disturbs the analog performance of the device. See note in “ADC Accuracy” on page 196.  
For best reliability, it is recommended to avoid negative injection of more than 1.6mA.  
5. When several inputs are submitted to a current injection, the maximum ΣI  
is the absolute sum of the positive  
INJ(PIN)  
and negative injected currents (instantaneous values). These results are based on characterisation with ΣI  
maxi-  
INJ(PIN)  
mum current injection on four I/O port pins of the device.  
6. True open drain I/O port pins do not accept positive injection.

The ST7 internal clock can be supplied with four  
different Crystal/Ceramic resonator oscillators. All  
the information given in this paragraph are based  
on characterization results with specified typical  
external components. In the application, the reso-  
nator and the load capacitors have to be placed as  
close as possible to the oscillator pins in order to  
minimize output distortion and start-up stabiliza-  
tion time. Refer to the crystal/ceramic resonator  
manufacturer for more details (frequency, pack-  
age, accuracy...).

Note:  
1. Data characterized but not tested.  
The user must take the PLL jitter into account in the application (for example in serial communication or  
sampling of high frequency signals). The PLL jitter is a periodic effect, which is integrated over several  
CPU cycles. Therefore the longer the period of the application signal, the less it will be impacted by the  
PLL jitter.  
Figure 94 shows the PLL jitter integrated on application signals in the range 125kHz to 4MHz. At frequen-  
cies of less than 125KHz, the jitter is negligible.

12.7 EMC CHARACTERISTICS  
should be noted that good EMC performance is  
highly dependent on the user application and the  
software in particular.  
Susceptibility tests are performed on a sample ba-  
sis during product characterization.  
Therefore it is recommended that the user applies  
EMC software optimization and prequalification  
tests in relation with the EMC level requested for  
his application.  
12.7.1 Functional EMS (Electro Magnetic  
Susceptibility)  
Based on a simple running application on the  
product (toggling 2 LEDs through I/O ports), the  
product is stressed by two electro magnetic events  
until a failure occurs (indicated by the LEDs).  
ESD: Electro-Static Discharge (positive and  
negative) is applied on all pins of the device until  
a functional disturbance occurs. This test  
conforms with the IEC 1000-4-2 standard.  
Software recommendations:  
The software flowchart must include the manage-  
ment of runaway conditions such as:  
– Corrupted program counter  
– Unexpected reset  
– Critical Data corruption (control registers...)  
Prequalification trials:  
FTB: A Burst of Fast Transient voltage (positive  
and negative) is applied to V and V through  
DD  
SS  
a 100pF capacitor, until a functional disturbance  
occurs. This test conforms with the IEC 1000-4-  
4 standard.  
Most of the common failures (unexpected reset  
and program counter corruption) can be repro-  
duced by manually forcing a low state on the RE-  
SET pin or the Oscillator pins for 1 second.  
A device reset allows normal operations to be re-  
sumed. The test results are given in the table be-  
low based on the EMS levels and classes defined  
in application note AN1709.  
To complete these trials, ESD stress can be ap-  
plied directly on the device, over the range of  
specification values. When unexpected behaviour  
is detected, the software can be hardened to pre-  
vent unrecoverable errors occurring (see applica-  
tion note AN1015)

12.7.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings (Electrical  
Sensitivity)  
12.7.3.1 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)  
Electro-Static Discharges (a positive then a nega-  
tive pulse separated by 1 second) are applied to  
the pins of each sample according to each pin  
combination. The sample size depends on the  
number of supply pins in the device (3 parts*(n+1)  
supply pin). Two models can be simulated: Human  
Body Model and Machine Model. This test con-  
forms to the JESD22-A114A/A115A standard.  
Based on three different tests (ESD, LU and DLU)  
using specific measurement methods, the product  
is stressed in order to determine its performance in  
terms of electrical sensitivity. For more details, re-  
fer to the application note AN1181.

12.7.3.2 Static and Dynamic Latch-Up  
DLU: Electro-Static Discharges (one positive  
then one negative test) are applied to each pin  
of 3 samples when the micro is running to  
assess the latch-up performance in dynamic  
mode. Power supplies are set to the typical  
values, the oscillator is connected as near as  
possible to the pins of the micro and the  
component is put in reset mode. This test  
conforms to the IEC1000-4-2 and SAEJ1752/3  
standards. For more details, refer to the  
application note AN1181.  
LU: 3 complementary static tests are required  
on 10 parts to assess the latch-up performance.  
A supply overvoltage (applied to each power  
supply pin) and a current injection (applied to  
each input, output and configurable I/O pin) are  
performed on each sample. This test conforms  
to the EIA/JESD 78 IC latch-up standard. For  
more details, refer to the application note  
AN1181.

Note 1:  
– The reset network protects the device against parasitic resets.  
– The output of the external reset circuit must have an open-drain output to drive the ST7 reset pad. Otherwise the  
device can be damaged when the ST7 generates an internal reset (LVD or watchdog).  
– Whatever the reset source is (internal or external), the user must ensure that the level on the RESET pin can go  
below the V max. level specified in section 12.9.1 on page 185. Otherwise the reset will not be taken into account  
IL  
internally.  
– Because the reset circuit is designed to allow the internal RESET to be output in the RESET pin, the user must en-  
sure that the current sunk on the RESET pin is less than the absolute maximum value specified for I  
section 12.2.2 on page 166.  
in  
INJ(RESET)  
Note 2: When the LVD is enabled, it is recommended not to connect a pull-up resistor or capacitor. A 10nF pull-down  
capacitor is required to filter noise on the reset line.  
Note 3: In case a capacitive power supply is used, it is recommended to connect a 1Mpull-down resistor to the RESET  
pin to discharge any residual voltage induced by the capacitive effect of the power supply (this will add 5µA to the power  
consumption of the MCU).  
Note 4: Tips when using the LVD:  
– 1. Check that all recommendations related to reset circuit have been applied (see notes above).  
– 2. Check that the power supply is properly decoupled (100nF + 10µF close to the MCU). Refer to AN1709 and  
AN2017. If this cannot be done, it is recommended to put a 100nF + 1Mpull-down on the RESET pin.  
– 3. The capacitors connected on the RESET pin and also the power supply are key to avoid any start-up marginality.  
In most cases, steps 1 and 2 above are sufficient for a robust solution. Otherwise: replace 10nF pull-down on the  
RESET pin with a 5µF to 20µF capacitor.

2. For Flash devices: injecting negative current on any of the analog input pins significantly reduces the accuracy of any  
conversion being performed on any analog input. Analog pins of flash devices can be protected against negative injection  
by adding a Schottky diode (pin to ground). Injecting negative current on digital input pins degrades ADC accuracy espe-  
cially if performed on a pin close to the analog input pins. Any positive injection current within the limits specified for  
I
and ΣI  
in Section 12.8 does not affect the ADC accuracy.

12.12.1 Analog Power Supply and Reference  
Pins  
– Filter power to the analog power planes. It is rec-  
ommended to connect capacitors, with good high  
frequency characteristics, between the power  
and ground lines, placing 0.1µF and optionally, if  
needed 10pF capacitors as close as possible to  
the ST7 power supply pins and a 1 to 10µF ca-  
pacitor close to the power source (see Figure  
113).  
Depending on the MCU pin count, the package  
may feature separate V  
and V  
analog  
AREF  
SSA  
power supply pins. These pins supply power to the  
A/D converter cell and function as the high and low  
reference voltages for the conversion.  
Separation of the digital and analog power pins al-  
low board designers to improve A/D performance.  
Conversion accuracy can be impacted by voltage  
drops and noise in the event of heavily loaded or  
badly decoupled power supply lines (see Section  
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines).  
– The analog and digital power supplies should be  
connected in a star network. Do not use a resis-  
tor, as V  
is used as a reference voltage by  
AREF  
the A/D converter and any resistance would  
cause a voltage drop and a loss of accuracy.  
– Properly place components and route the signal  
traces on the PCB to shield the analog inputs.  
Analog signals paths should run over the analog  
ground plane and be as short as possible. Isolate  
analog signals from digital signals that may  
switch while the analog inputs are being sampled  
by the A/D converter. Do not toggle digital out-  
puts on the same I/O port as the A/D input being  
converted.  
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines  
To obtain best results, some general design and  
layout rules should be followed when designing  
the application PCB to shield the noise-sensitive,  
analog physical interface from noise-generating  
CMOS logic signals.  
– Use separate digital and analog planes. The an-  
alog ground plane should be connected to the  
digital ground plane via a single point on the  
PCB.

address in the memory map and can be accessed  
only in programming mode (for example using a  
standard ST7 programming tool). The default con-  
tent of the FLASH is fixed to FFh. To program the  
FLASH devices directly using ICP, FLASH devices  
are shipped to customers with the internal RC  
clock source. In masked ROM devices, the option  
bytes are fixed in hardware by the ROM code (see  
option list).

to select 4096 due to the long crystal stabilization  
time.  
CAUTION: the PLL can be enabled only if the  
“OSC RANGE” (OPT3:1) bits are configured to  
“MP - 2~4MHz”. Otherwise, the device functionali-  
ty is not guaranteed.

14.3 DEVELOPMENT TOOLS  
STMicroelectronics offers a range of hardware  
and software development tools for the ST7 micro-  
controller family. Full details of tools available for  
the ST7 from third party manufacturers can be ob-  
tained from the STMicroelectronics Internet site:  
http//www.st.com.  
and a specific demo board for ST72521  
(TQFP64)  
STxF-INDART  
Flash Programming tools  
ST7-STICK ST7 In-circuit Communication Kit, a  
complete software/hardware package for  
programming ST7 Flash devices. It connects to  
a host PC parallel port and to the target board or  
socket board via ST7 ICC connector.  
Tools from these manufacturers include C compli-  
ers, evaluation tools, emulators and programmers.  
Emulators  
Two types of emulators are available from ST for  
the ST725 family:  
ST7 DVP3 entry-level emulator offers a flexible  
and modular debugging and programming  
solution. SDIP42 & SDIP32 probes/adapters  
are included, other packages need a specific  
connection kit (refer to Table 31)  
ICC Socket Boards provide an easy to use and  
flexible means of programming ST7 Flash  
devices. They can be connected to any tool that  
supports the ST7 ICC interface, such as ST7  
EMU3, ST7-DVP3, inDART, ST7-STICK, or  
many third-party development tools.  
Evaluation boards  
ST7 EMU3 high-end emulator is delivered with  
everything (probes, TEB, adapters etc.) needed  
to start emulating the ST725. To configure it to  
emulate other ST7 subfamily devices, the active  
probe for the ST7EMU3 can be changed and  
the ST7EMU3 probe is designed for easy  
interchange of TEBs (Target Emulation Board).  
See Table 31.  
Three different Evaluation boards are available:  
ST7232x-EVAL ST72F321/325/521 evaluation  
board, with ICC connector for programming  
capability. Provides direct connection to ST7-  
DVP3 emulator. Supplied with daughter boards  
(core module) for ST72F321, ST72F324,  
ST72325 & ST72F521 (the ST72F32x chips are  
not included)

15 KNOWN LIMITATIONS  
15.1 ALL FLASH AND ROM DEVICES  
15.1.1 External RC option  
The symptom does not occur when the interrupts  
are handled normally, i.e.  
when:  
The External RC clock source option described in  
previous datasheet revisions is no longer support-  
ed and has been removed from this specification.  
– The interrupt flag is cleared within its own inter-  
rupt routine  
– The interrupt flag is cleared within any interrupt  
routine  
15.1.2 Safe Connection of OSC1/OSC2 Pins  
The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not be left un-  
connected otherwise the ST7 main oscillator may  
start and, in this configuration, could generate an

maximum (>16MHz.), putting the ST7 in an un-  
safe/undefined state. Refer to section 6.2 on page  
25.  
Perform SIM and RIM operation before and after  
resetting an active interrupt request.  
15.1.3 Reset pin protection with LVD Enabled  
As mentioned in note 2 below Figure 103 on page  
186, when the LVD is enabled, it is recommended  
not to connect a pull-up resistor or capacitor. A  
10nF pull-down capacitor is required to filter noise  
on the reset line.  
Example:  
SIM  
reset interrupt flag  
RIM  
15.1.4 Unexpected Reset Fetch  
Nested interrupt context:  
If an interrupt request occurs while a “POP CC” in-  
struction is executed, the interrupt controller does  
not recognise the source of the interrupt and, by  
default, passes the RESET vector address to the  
CPU.  
The symptom does not occur when the interrupts  
are handled normally, i.e.  
when:  
– The interrupt flag is cleared within its own inter-  
rupt routine  
Workaround  
– The interrupt flag is cleared within any interrupt  
routine with higher or identical priority level  
To solve this issue, a “POP CC” instruction must  
always be preceded by a “SIM” instruction.  
– The interrupt flag is cleared in any part of the  
code while this interrupt is disabled  
15.1.5 Clearing active interrupts outside  
interrupt routine  
If these conditions are not met, the symptom can  
be avoided by implementing the following se-  
quence:  
When an active interrupt request occurs at the  
same time as the related flag is being cleared, an  
unwanted reset may occur.  
PUSH CC  
SIM  
Note: clearing the related interrupt mask will not  
generate an unwanted reset  
reset interrupt flag

KNOWN LIMITATIONS (Cont’d)  
15.1.6 SCI Wrong Break duration  
Description  
15.1.7 16-bit Timer PWM Mode  
In PWM mode, the first PWM pulse is missed after  
writing the value FFFCh in the OC1R register  
(OC1HR, OC1LR). It leads to either full or no PWM  
during a period, depending on the OLVL1 and  
OLVL2 settings.  
A single break character is sent by setting and re-  
setting the SBK bit in the SCICR2 register. In  
some cases, the break character may have a long-  
er duration than expected:

If this wrong duration is not compliant with the  
communication protocol in the application, soft-  
ware can request that an Idle line be generated  
before the break character. In this case, the break  
duration is always correct assuming the applica-  
tion is not doing anything between the idle and the  
break. This can be ensured by temporarily disa-  
bling interrupts.

15.1.9 I2C Multimaster  
The exact sequence is:  
In multimaster configurations, if the ST7 I2C re-  
ceives a START condition from another I2C mas-  
ter after the START bit is set in the I2CCR register  
and before the START condition is generated by  
the ST7 I2C, it may ignore the START condition  
from the other I2C master. In this case, the ST7  
master will receive a NACK from the other device.  
On reception of the NACK, ST7 can send a re-start  
and Slave address to re-initiate communication  
- Disable interrupts  
- Reset and Set TE (IDLE request)  
- Set and Reset SBK (Break Request)  
- Re-enable interrupts

modes are critical because the I/Os PG[7:0] and  
PH[7:0] are forced to output push-pull.  
15.2.1 Internal RC Oscillator with LVD  
Impact on the Application  
The internal RC can only be used if LVD is ena-  
bled.  
The PG and PH I/O ports are forced to output  
push-pull during three pulses on ICCDATA. In cer-  
tain circumstances, this behaviour can lead to a

sequence  
short-circuit between the I/O signals and V , V

Symptom  
or an output signal of another application compo-  
nent.  
In 80-pin devices (Flash), both Port G and H are  
forced to output push-pull during ICC mode entry  
sequence. 80-pin ROM devices are not impacted  
by this issue.  
In addition, switching these I/Os to output mode  
can cause the application to leave reset state, dis-  
turbing the ICC communication and preventing the  
user from programming the flash.  
Details  
To enable programming of all flash sectors, the  
device must leave USER mode and be configured  
in ICC mode. Once in ICC mode, the ICC protocol  
enables an ST7 microcontroller to communicate  
with an external controller (such as a PC). ICC  
mode is entered by applying 39 pulses on the IC-  
CDATA signal during reset. To enter ICC mode,  
the device goes through other modes, some
