space (ROM/OTP). Selecting a microcontroller with less pro-  
gram memory size translates into lower system costs, and  
the added security of knowing that more code can be packed  
into the available program memory space.  
1.0 Device Description  
1.1 ARCHITECTURE  
The COP8 family is based on a modified Harvard architec-  
ture, which allows data tables to be accessed directly from  
program memory. This is very important with modern  
microcontroller-based applications, since program memory  
is usually ROM or EPROM, while data memory is usually  
RAM. Consequently data tables need to be contained in  
non-volatile memory, so they are not lost when the microcon-  
troller is powered down. Non-memory for the storage of data  
variables is provided by the EERAM in the COP8SEC5 and  
COP8SER7. In a Harvard architecture, instruction fetch and  
memory data transfers can be overlapped with a two stage  
pipeline, which allows the next instruction to be fetched from  
program memory while the current instruction is being ex-  
ecuted using data memory. This is not possible with a Von  
Neumann single-address bus architecture.  
1.2.1 Key Instruction Set Features  
The COP8 family incorporates a unique combination of in-  
struction set features, which provide designers with optimum  
code efficiency and program memory utilization.  
Single Byte/Single Cycle Code Execution  
The efficiency is due to the fact that the majority of instruc-  
tions are of the single byte variety, resulting in minimum pro-  
gram space. Because compact code does not occupy a sub-  
stantial amount of program memory space, designers can  
integrate additional features and functionality into the micro-  
controller program memory space. Also, the majority instruc-  
tions executed by the device are single cycle, resulting in  
minimum program execution time. In fact, 77% of the instruc-  
tions are single byte single cycle, providing greater code and  
I/O efficiency, and faster code execution.  
The COP8 family supports a software stack scheme that al-  
lows the user to incorporate many subroutine calls. This ca-  
pability is important when using High Level Languages. With  
a hardware stack, the user is limited to a small fixed number  
of stack levels.  
1.2.2 Many Single-Byte, Multifunction Instructions  
The COP8 instruction set utilizes many single-byte, multi-  
function instructions. This enables a single instruction to ac-  
complish multiple functions, such as DRSZ, DCOR, JID, LD  
(Load) and X (Exchange) instructions with post-incrementing  
and post-decrementing, to name just a few examples. In  
many cases, the instruction set can simultaneously execute  
as many as three functions with the same single-byte in-  
struction.  
1.2 INSTRUCTION SET  
In today’s 8-bit microcontroller application arena cost/  
performance, flexibility and time to market are several of the  
key issues that system designers face in attempting to build  
well-engineered products that compete in the marketplace.  
Many of these issues can be addressed through the manner  
in which a microcontroller’s instruction set handles process-  
ing tasks. And that’s why the COP8 family offers a unique  
and code-efficient instruction setone that provides the  
flexibility, functionality, reduced costs and faster time to mar-  
ket that today’s microcontroller based products require.  
JID: (Jump Indirect); Single byte instruction; decodes exter-  
nal events and jumps to corresponding service routines  
(analogous to “DO CASE” statements in higher level lan-  
guages).  
LAID: (Load Accumulator-Indirect); Single byte look up table  
Code efficiency is important because it enables designers to  
pack more on-chip functionality into less program memory  
instruction provides efficient data path from the program

1.2.4 Register Set  
1.0 Device Description (Continued)  
Three memory-mapped pointers handle register indirect ad-  
dressing and software stack pointer functions. The memory  
data pointers allow the option of post-incrementing or post-  
decrementing with the data movement instructions (LOAD/  
EXCHANGE). And 15 memory-maped registers allow de-  
signers to optimize the precise implementation of certain  
specific instructions.  
memory to the CPU. This instruction can be used for table  
lookup and to read the entire program memory for checksum  
calculations.  
RETSK: (Return Skip); Single byte instruction allows return  
from subroutine and skips next instruction. Decision to  
branch can be made in the subroutine itself, saving code.  
AUTOINC/DEC: (Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement); These  
instructions use the two memory pointers B and X to effi-  
ciently process a block of data (analogous to “FOR NEXT” in  
higher level languages).  
1.3 PACKAGING/PIN EFFICIENCY  
Real estate and board configuration considerations demand  
maximum space and pin efficiency, particularly given today’s  
high integration and small product form factors. Microcontrol-  
ler users try to avoid using large packages to get the I/O  
needed. Large packages take valuable board space and in-  
crease device cost, two trade-offs that microcontroller de-  
signs can ill afford.  
1.2.3 Bit-Level Control  
Bit-level control over many of the microcontroller’s I/O ports  
provides a flexible means to ease layout concerns and save  
board space. All members of the COP8 family provide the  
ability to set, reset and test any individual bit in the data  
memory address space, including memory-mapped I/O ports  
and associated registers.  
The COP8 family offers a wide range of packages and does  
not waste pins: up to 90.9% (or 40 pins in the 44-pin pack-  
age, these packages are not available on all COP8 devices)  
are devoted to useful I/O.

Port G is an 8-bit port. Pin G0, G2–G5 are bi-directional I/O  
ports. Pin G6 is always a general purpose Hi-Z input. All pins  
have Schmitt Triggers on their inputs. Pin G1 serves as the  
dedicated WATCHDOG output with weak pullup, if  
WATCHDOG feature is selected by the mask option. The  
pin is a general purpose I/O, if WATCHDOG feature is not  
selected. If WATCHDOG feature is selected, bit 1 of the Port  
G configuration and data register does not have any effect  
on Pin G1 setup. Pin G7 is either input or output depending  
on the oscillator option selected. With the crystal oscillator  
option selected, G7 serves as the dedicated output pin for  
the CKO clock output. With the R/C oscillator option se-  
lected, G7 serves as a general purpose Hi-Z input pin and is  
also used to bring the device out of HALT mode with a low to  
high transition on G7.  
4.0 Pin Descriptions  
The device I/O structure enables designers to reconfigure  
the microcontroller’s I/O functions with a single instruction.  
Each individual I/O pin can be independently configured as  
output pin low, output high, input with high impedance or in-  
put with weak pull-up device. A typical example is the use of  
I/O pins as the keyboard matrix input lines. The input lines  
can be programmed with internal weak pull-ups so that the  
input lines read logic high when the keys are all open. With  
a key closure, the corresponding input line will read a logic  
zero since the weak pull-up can easily be overdriven. When  
the key is released, the internal weak pull-up will pull the in-  
put line back to logic high. This eliminates the need for exter-  
nal pull-up resistors. The high current options are available  
for driving LEDs, motors and speakers. This flexibility helps  
to ensure a cleaner design, with fewer external components  
and lower costs. Below is the general description of all avail-  
able pins.  
Since G6 is an input only pin and G7 is the dedicated CKO  
clock output pin (crystal clock option) or general purpose in-  
put (R/C or clock option), the associated bits in the data and  
configuration registers for G6 and G7 are used for special  
purpose functions as outlined below. Reading the G6 and G7  
data bits will return zeroes.  
VCC and GND are the power supply pins. All VCC and GND  
pins must be connected.  
CKI is the clock input. This can come from the Internal R/C  
oscillator, or a crystal oscillator (in conjunction with CKO).  
See Oscillator Description section.  
Each device will be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”  
to bit 7 of the Port G Data Register. Similarly the device will  
be placed in the IDLE mode by writing a “1” to bit 6 of the  
Port G Data Register.  
RESET is the master reset input. See Reset description sec-  
tion.  
Writing a “1” to bit 6 of the Port G Configuration Register en-  
ables the MICROWIRE/PLUS to operate with the alternate  
phase of the SK clock. The G7 configuration bit, if set high,  
enables the clock start up delay after HALT when the R/C  
clock configuration is used.  
Each device contains two bidirectional 8-bit I/O ports (G and  
L) and one bidirectional 4-I/O port (F), where each individual  
bit may be independently configured as an input (Schmitt  
trigger inputs on ports L and G), output or TRI-STATE under  
program control. Three data memory address locations are  
allocated for each of these I/O ports. Each I/O port has two  
associated 8-bit memory mapped registers, the CONFIGU-  
RATION register and the output DATA register. A memory  
mapped address is also reserved for the input pins of each  
I/O port. (See the memory map for the various addresses as-  
sociated with the I/O ports.) Figure 5 shows the I/O port con-  
figurations. The DATA and CONFIGURATION registers allow  
for each port bit to be individually configured under software  
control as shown below:

SP is the 8-bit stack pointer, which points to the subroutine/  
interrupt stack (in RAM). With reset the SP is initialized to  
RAM address 02F Hex (devices with 64 bytes of RAM), or  
initialized to RAM address 06F Hex (devices with 128 bytes  
of RAM).  
4.0 Pin Descriptions (Continued)  
All the CPU registers are memory mapped with the excep-  
tion of the Accumulator (A) and the Program Counter (PC).  
5.2 PROGRAM MEMORY  
The program memory consists of 4096 Bytes of ROM or  
32,768 bytes of OTP EPROM. These bytes may hold pro-  
gram instructions or constant data (data tables for the LAID  
instruction, jump vectors for the JID instruction, and interrupt  
vectors for the VIS instruction). The program memory is ad-  
dressed by the 15-bit program counter (PC). All interrupts in  
the device vector to program memory location 0FF Hex. The  
contents of the program memory read 00 Hex in the erased  
state. Program execution starts at location 0 after RESET.  
DS100973-12  
FIGURE 6. I/O Port ConfigurationsOutput Mode  
5.3 DATA MEMORY  
The data memory address space includes the on-chip RAM  
and data registers, the I/O registers (Configuration, Data and  
Pin), the control registers, the MICROWIRE/PLUS SIO shift  
register, and the various registers, and counters associated  
with the timers (with the exception of the IDLE timer). Data  
memory is addressed directly by the instruction or indirectly  
by the B, X and SP pointers.  
The data memory consists of 256 bytes of combined EE-  
RAM and RAM. Sixteen bytes of RAM are mapped as “reg-  
isters” at addresses 0F0 to 0FE Hex. These registers can be  
loaded immediately, and also decremented and tested with  
the DRSZ (decrement register and skip if zero) instruction.  
The memory pointer registers X, SP and B are memory  
mapped into this space at address locations 0FC to 0FE Hex  
respectively, with the other registers (except 0FF) being  
available for general usage.  
DS100973-11  
FIGURE 7. I/O Port ConfigurationsInput Mode  
The instruction set permits any bit in memory to be set, reset  
or tested. All I/O and registers (except A and PC) are  
memory mapped; therefore, I/O bits and register bits can be  
directly and individually set, reset and tested. The accumula-  
tor (A) bits can also be directly and individually tested.  
Note: RAM contents are undefined upon power-up.  
5.0 Functional Description  
The architecture of the devices is a modified Harvard archi-  
tecture. With the Harvard architecture, the program memory  
ROM or EPROM is separated from the data store memory  
(RAM). Program Memory will be referred to as ROM. Both  
ROM and RAM have their own separate addressing space  
with separate address buses. The architecture, though  
based on the Harvard architecture, permits transfer of data  
from ROM to RAM.  
5.4 EERAM / NON-VOLATILE MEMORY  
The devices provide 128 bytes of EERAM in segment 1 for  
nonvolatile data memory. The data EERAM can be read and  
written in exactly the same way as the RAM. All instructions  
that perform read and write operations on the RAM work  
similarly upon the data EERAM. EERAM write cycles take  
much more time than reads. During this time, processing  
continues, but all EERAM accesses are inhibited. The data  
EERAM contains all 00s when shipped by the factory.  
5.1 CPU REGISTERS  
The CPU can do an 8-bit addition, subtraction, logical or shift  
operation in one instruction (tC) cycle time.  
There are six CPU registers:  
A data memory EERAM programming cycle is initiated by an  
instruction that writes to the EERAM such as X, LD, SBIT  
and RBIT. The EERAM memory support circuitry sets the  
E2BUSY flag in the E2CFG register immediately upon begin-  
ning a data EERAM write cycle. It will be automatically reset  
by the hardware at the end of the data EERAM write cycle.  
The application program should test the E2BUSY flag before  
attempting a read or write operation to the data EERAM. An  
EERAM read or write operation while an operation is in  
progress will be ignored and the E2ILRW flag in the E2CFG  
register will be set to indicate the error status. Once the write  
operation starts, nothing will stop the write operation, not by  
resetting the device, and not even turning off the VCC will  
guarantee the write operation to stop.  
A is the 8-bit Accumulator Register  
PC is the 15-bit Program Counter Register  
PU is the upper 7 bits of the program counter (PC)  
PL is the lower 8 bits of the program counter (PC)  
B is an 8-bit RAM address pointer, which can be optionally  
post auto incremented or decremented.  
X is an 8-bit alternate RAM address pointer, which can be  
optionally post auto incremented or decremented.  
S is the 8-bit Segment Address Register used to extend the  
lower half of the address range (00 to 7F) into 256 data seg-  
ments of 128 bytes each.  
11  
www.national.com  
The data store memory is either addressed directly by a  
single byte address within the instruction, or indirectly rela-  
tive to the reference of the B, X, or SP pointers (each con-  
tains a single-byte address). This single-byte address allows  
an addressing range of 256 locations from 00 to FF hex. The  
upper bit of this single-byte address divides the data store  
memory into two separate sections as outlined previously.  
With the exception of the RAM register memory from ad-  
dress locations 00F0 to 00FF, all RAM memory is memory  
mapped with the upper bit of the single-byte address being  
equal to zero. This allows the upper bit of the single-byte ad-  
dress to determine whether or not the base address range  
(from 0000 to 00FF) is extended. If this upper bit equals one  
(representing address range 0080 to 00FF), then address  
extension does not take place. Alternatively, if this upper bit  
equals zero, then the data segment extension register S is  
used to extend the base address range (from 0000 to 007F)  
from XX00 to XX7F, where XX represents the 8 bits from the  
S register. Thus the 128-byte data segment extensions are  
located from addresses 0100 to 017F for data segment 1,  
0200 to 027F for data segment 2, etc., up to FF00 to FF7F  
for data segment 255. The base address range from 0000 to  
007F represents data segment 0.  
5.0 Functional Description (Continued)  
Caution: In order to prevent the unexpected setting of the ILRW of the  
E2CFG Register and the corresponding interrupt, the use of the X  
Register and direct addressing are recommanded for EERAM ac-  
cess. It is further recommended that the B Register be set to a  
value between 80 (hex) and FF (hex) before setting the Segment  
register to 1 and that this value be retained until S is set back to 0.  
Due to an artifact of the COP8 architecture, the ILRW bit of the  
E2CFG Register will be set and an interrupt will be generated un-  
der the following conditions:  
1. The Segment Register (S) = 01,  
and  
2. The B Register points to the EERAM, i.e. B 7F (hex),  
and  
3. One of the following instructions is executed: SC, RC, IFC, IFNC, NOP,  
RPND, SWAPA, JMPL, VIS or LD B, Imm with Imm 7F (hex),  
or  
3a. if any instruction is skipped.  
Warning: The segment register should not point to the EE-  
RAM unless the EERAM is addressed. This will prevent in-  
advertent writes to EERAM.  
5.4.1. E2CFG and EE Support Circuitry  
Figure 8 illustrates how the S register data memory exten-  
sion is used in extending the lower half of the base address  
range (00 to 7F hex) into 256 data segments of 128 bytes  
each, with a total addressing range of 32 kbytes from XX00  
to XX7F. This organization allows a total of 256 data seg-  
ments of 128 bytes each with an additional upper base seg-  
ment of 128 bytes. Furthermore, all addressing modes are  
available for all data segments. The S register must be  
changed under program control to move from one data seg-  
ment (128 bytes) to another. However, the upper base seg-  
ment (containing the 16 memory registers, I/O registers,  
control registers, etc.) is always available regardless of the  
contents of the S register, since the upper base segment  
(address range 0080 to 00FF) is independent of data seg-  
ment extension.  
The EERAM module contains EERAM support circuits to  
generate all necessary high voltage programming pulses.  
The E2CFG register provides control and status functions for  
the EERAM module. The E2CFG register bit assignments  
are shown below. The E2CFG register is set to 0 on RESET  
except the E2BUSY bit, which is unaffected. The EECFG  
register can be accessed at any time without error.

logically ANDed with the E2EI bit to cause  
an interrupt. This bit can be written by either  
hardware or software. This bit must be reset  
by software after processing the interrupt.  
E2ILRW  
EERAM illegal read/write operation. This bit  
is set when the EERAM array is accessed  
while E2BUSY is set. This bit will cause an  
EERAM interrupt, without setting the  
E2PEND bit, if the E2EI bit is set. This bit  
can be written by either hardware or soft-  
ware. This bit must be reset by software af-  
ter processing the interrupt.  
E2BUSY  
E2EI  
This bit is set by the hardware when a write  
to the EERAM is in process and reset by the  
hardware when the write completes. The  
E2PEND bit is set when this bit is reset.  
This bit is software read-only.  
Interrupt Enable Bit. Setting this bit enables  
EERAM interrupts. The default condition is  
interrupts disabled after RESET. This bit  
must be used in conjunction with the GIE  
bit. This bit can be written by software only.

set.  
ITMR: Cleared

WATCHDOG (if enabled):  
The 128 bytes of RAM contained in the base segment are  
split between the lower and upper base segments. The first  
112 bytes of RAM are resident from address 0000 to 006F in  
the lower base segment, while the remaining 16 bytes of  
RAM represent the 16 data memory registers located at ad-  
dresses 00F0 to 00FF of the upper base segment. No RAM  
is located at the upper sixteen addresses (0070 to 007F) of  
the lower base segment.  
The device comes out of reset with both the WATCH-  
DOG logic and the Clock Monitor detector armed, with the  
WATCHDOG service window bits set and the Clock Monitor  
bit set. The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor circuits are in-  
hibited during reset. The WATCHDOG service window bits  
being initialized high default to the maximum WATCHDOG  
service window of 64k tC clock cycles. The Clock Monitor bit  
being initialized high will cause a Clock Monitor error follow-  
ing reset if the clock has not reached the minimum specified  
frequency at the termination of reset. A Clock Monitor error  
will cause an active low error output on pin G1. This error  
output will continue until 16 tC–32 tC clock cycles following  
the clock frequency reaching the minimum specified value,  
at which time the G1 output will go high.  
Additional RAM beyond these initial 128 bytes, however, will  
always be memory mapped in groups of 128 bytes (or less)  
at the data segment address extensions (XX00 to XX7F) of  
the lower base segment. The 128 bytes of EERAM in this de-  
vice are memory mapped at address locations 0100 to 017F.  
5.6 SECURITY FEATURE (COP8SER7 only)  
The program memory array has an associated Security Byte  
that is located outside of the program address range. This  
byte can be addressed only from programming mode by a  
programmer tool.  
5.8.1 External Reset  
The RESET input when pulled low initializes the device. The  
RESET pin must be held low for a minimum of one instruc-  
tion cycle to guarantee a valid reset. During Power-Up initial-  
ization, the user must ensure that the RESET pin is held low  
until the device is within the specified VCC voltage. An R/C  
circuit on the RESET pin with a delay 5 times (5x) greater  
than the power supply rise time is recommended. Reset  
should also be wide enough to ensure crystal start-up upon  
Power-Up.  
Security is an optional feature and can only be asserted after  
the memory array has been programmed and verified. A se-  
cured part will read 00(hex) by a programmer. The part will  
fail Blank Check and will fail Verify operations. A READ op-  
eration will fill the programmer’s memory with 00(hex). The  
Security Byte itself is always readable with value of 00(hex)  
if unsecure and FF(hex) if secure.  
5.7 RESET  
RESET may also be used to cause an exit from the HALT  
mode.  
The devices are initialized when the RESET pin is pulled low.

Each device supports applications that require maintaining  
real time and low power with the IDLE mode. This IDLE  
mode support is furnished by the IDLE timer T0, which is a  
16-bit timer. The Timer T0 runs continuously at the fixed rate  
of the instruction cycle clock, tC. The user cannot read or  
write to the IDLE Timer T0, which is a count down timer.

tion cycles), the IDLE Timer interrupt pending bit T0PND is  
set, thus generating an interrupt (if enabled), and bit 6 of the

the register R1A. Subsequent underflows cause the timer to  
be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the  
register R1B.  
The device has a powerful timer/counter block. The timer  
consists of a 16-bit timer, T1, and two supporting 16-bit  
autoreload/capture registers, R1A and R1B. The timer block  
has two pins associated with it, T1A and T1B. The pin T1A  
supports I/O required by the timer block, while the pin T1B is  
an input to the timer block. The powerful and flexible timer  
block allows the device to easily perform all timer functions  
with minimal software overhead. The timer block has three  
operating modes: Processor Independent PWM mode, Ex-  
ternal Event Counter mode, and Input Capture mode.  
The T1 Timer control bits, T1C3, T1C2 and T1C1 set up the  
timer for PWM mode operation.  
Figure 12 shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.  
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the T1A output  
pin. The underflows can also be programmed to generate in-  
terrupts.  
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two  
pending flags, T1PNDA and T1PNDB. The user must reset  
these pending flags under software control. Two control en-  
able flags, T1ENA and T1ENB, allow the interrupts from the  
timer underflow to be enabled or disabled. Setting the timer  
enable flag T1ENA will cause an interrupt when a timer un-  
derflow causes the R1A register to be reloaded into the  
timer. Setting the timer enable flag T1ENB will cause an in-  
terrupt when a timer underflow causes the R1B register to be  
reloaded into the timer. Resetting the timer enable flags will  
disable the associated interrupts.  
The control bits T1C3, T1C2, and T1C1 allow selection of the  
different modes of operation.  
6.2.1 Mode 1. Processor Independent PWM Mode  
As the name suggests, this mode allows the device to gen-  
erate a PWM signal with very minimal user intervention. The  
user only has to define the parameters of the PWM signal  
(ON time and OFF time). Once begun, the timer block will  
continuously generate the PWM signal completely indepen-  
dent of the microcontroller. The user software services the  
timer block only when the PWM parameters require updat-  
ing.  
Either or both of the timer underflow interrupts may be en-  
abled. This gives the user the flexibility of interrupting once  
per PWM period on either the rising or falling edge of the  
PWM output. Alternatively, the user may choose to interrupt  
on both edges of the PWM output.  
In this mode the timer T1 counts down at a fixed rate of tC.  
Upon every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with  
the contents of supporting registers, R1A and R1B. The very  
first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from

FIGURE 12. Timer in PWM Mode  
6.2.2 Mode 2. External Event Counter Mode  
6.2.3 Mode 3. Input Capture Mode  
This mode is quite similar to the processor independent  
PWM mode previously described. The main difference is that  
the timer, T1, is clocked by the input signal from the T1A pin.  
The T1 timer control bits, T1C3, T1C2 and T1C1 allow the  
timer to be clocked either on a positive or negative edge from  
the T1A pin. Underflows from the timer are latched into the  
T1PNDA pending flag. Setting the T1ENA control flag will  
cause an interrupt when the timer underflows.  
The device can precisely measure external frequencies or  
time external events by placing the timer block, T1, in the in-  
put capture mode.  
In this mode, the timer T1 is constantly running at the fixed tC  
rate. The two registers, R1A and R1B, act as capture regis-  
ters. Each register acts in conjunction with a pin. The register  
R1A acts in conjunction with the T1A pin and the register  
R1B acts in conjunction with the T1B pin.  
In this mode the input pin T1B can be used as an indepen-  
dent positive edge sensitive interrupt input if the T1ENB con-  
trol flag is set. The occurrence of a positive edge on the T1B  
input pin is latched into the T1PNDB flag.  
The timer value gets copied over into the register when a  
trigger event occurs on its corresponding pin. Control bits,  
T1C3, T1C2 and T1C1, allow the trigger events to be speci-  
fied either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger con-  
dition for each input pin can be specified independently.  
Figure 13 shows a block diagram of the timer in External  
Event Counter mode.  
The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate  
interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger condition  
on the T1A and T1B pins will be respectively latched into the  
pending flags, T1PNDA and T1PNDB. The control flag  
T1ENA allows the interrupt on T1A to be either enabled or  
disabled. Setting the T1ENA flag enables interrupts to be  
generated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the  
T1A pin. Similarly, the flag T1ENB controls the interrupts  
from the T1B pin.  
Note: The PWM output is not available in this mode since the T1A pin is be-  
ing used as the counter input clock.  
Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to gen-  
erate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer T1C0  
pending flag (the T1C0 control bit serves as the timer under-  
flow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture mode). Con-  
sequently, the T1C0 control bit should be reset when enter-  
ing the Input Capture mode. The timer underflow interrupt is  
enabled with the T1ENA control flag. When a T1A interrupt  
occurs in the Input Capture mode, the user must check both  
the T1PNDA and T1C0 pending flags in order to determine  
whether a T1A input capture or a timer underflow (or both)  
caused the interrupt.

This method precludes the use of the crystal clock configura-  
tion (since CKO becomes a dedicated output), and so may  
only be used with an R/C clock configuration. The third  
method of exiting the HALT mode is by pulling the RESET  
pin low.  
7.0 Power Saving Features  
Today, the proliferation of battery-operated based applica-  
tions has placed new demands on designers to drive power  
consumption down. Battery-operated systems are not the  
only type of applications demanding low power. The power  
budget constraints are also imposed on those consumer/  
industrial applications where well regulated and expensive  
power supply costs cannot be tolerated. Such applications  
rely on low cost and low power supply voltage derived di-  
rectly from the “mains” by using voltage rectifier and passive  
components. Low power is demanded even in automotive  
applications, due to increased vehicle electronics content.  
This is required to ease the burden from the car battery. Low  
power 8-bit microcontrollers supply the smarts to control  
battery-operated, consumer/industrial, and automotive appli-  
cations.  
On wakeup from G7 or Port L, the devices resume execution  
from the HALT point. On wakeup from RESET execution will  
resume from location PC=0 and all RESET conditions apply.  
If a crystal or ceramic resonator may be selected as the os-  
cillator, the Wakeup signal is not allowed to start the chip  
running immediately since crystal oscillators and ceramic  
resonators have a delayed start up time to reach full ampli-  
tude and frequency stability. The IDLE timer is used to gen-  
erate a fixed delay to ensure that the oscillator has indeed  
stabilized before allowing instruction execution. In this case,  
upon detecting a valid Wakeup signal, only the oscillator cir-  
cuitry is enabled. The IDLE timer is loaded with a value of  
256 and is clocked with the tC instruction cycle clock. The tC  
clock is derived by dividing the oscillator clock down by a fac-  
tor of 9. The Schmitt trigger following the CKI inverter on the  
chip ensures that the IDLE timer is clocked only when the os-  
cillator has a sufficiently large amplitude to meet the Schmitt  
trigger specifications. This Schmitt trigger is not part of the  
oscillator closed loop. The start-up time-out from the IDLE  
timer enables the clock signals to be routed to the rest of the  
chip.  
Each device offers system designers a variety of low-power  
consumption features that enable them to meet the demand-  
ing requirements of today’s increasing range of low-power  
applications. These features include low voltage operation,  
low current drain, and power saving features such as HALT,  
IDLE, and Multi-Input wakeup (MIWU).  
Each device offers the user two power save modes of opera-  
tion: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode, all microcontroller  
activities are stopped. In the IDLE mode, the on-board oscil-  
lator circuitry and timer T0 are active but all other microcon-  
troller activities are stopped. In either mode, all on-board  
RAM, registers, I/O states, and timers (with the exception of  
T0) are unaltered.  
If an R/C clock option is being used, the fixed delay is intro-  
duced optionally. A control bit, CLKDLY, mapped as configu-  
ration bit G7, controls whether the delay is to be introduced  
or not. The delay is included if CLKDLY is set, and excluded  
if CLKDLY is reset. The CLKDLY bit is cleared on reset.  
Clock Monitor if enabled can be active in both modes.  
Each device has two options associated with the HALT  
mode. The first option enables the HALT mode feature, while  
the second option disables the HALT mode selected through  
bit 0 of the mask option. With the HALT mode enable option,  
the device will enter and exit the HALT mode as described  
above. With the HALT disable option, the device cannot be  
placed in the HALT mode (writing a “1” to the HALT flag will  
have no effect, the HALT flag will remain “0”).  
7.1 HALT MODE  
Each device can be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”  
to the HALT flag (G7 data bit). All microcontroller activities,  
including the clock and timers, are stopped. The WATCH-  
DOG logic on the devices are disabled during the HALT  
mode. However, the clock monitor circuitry, if enabled, re-  
mains active and will cause the WATCHDOG output pin  
(WDOUT) to go low. If the HALT mode is used and the user  
does not want to activate the WDOUT pin, the Clock Monitor  
should be disabled after the devices come out of reset (re-  
setting the Clock Monitor control bit with the first write to the  
WDSVR register). In the HALT mode, the power require-  
ments of the devices are minimal and the applied voltage  
(VCC) may be decreased to Vr (Vr = 2.0V) without altering the  
state of the machine.  
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during the  
HALT mode. However, the clock monitor circuit if enabled re-  
mains active during HALT mode in order to ensure a clock  
monitor error if the device inadvertently enters the HALT  
mode as a result of a runaway program or power glitch.  
If the device is placed in the HALT mode, with the R/C oscil-  
lator selected, the clock input pin (CKI) is forced to a logic  
high internally. With the crystal oscillator the CKI pin is  
TRI-STATE.  
Each device supports three different ways of exiting the  
HALT mode. The first method of exiting the HALT mode is  
with the Multi-Input Wakeup feature on Port L. The second  
method is with a low to high transition on the CKO (G7) pin.

FIGURE 15. Wakeup from HALT  
7.2 IDLE MODE  
The user can enter the IDLE mode with the Timer T0 inter-  
rupt enabled. In this case, when the T0PND bit gets set, the  
device will first execute the Timer T0 interrupt service routine  
and then return to the instruction following the Enter Idle  
Modeinstruction.  
The device is placed in the IDLE mode by writing a 1to the  
IDLE flag (G6 data bit). In this mode, all activity, except the  
associated on-board oscillator circuitry, the WATCHDOG  
logic, the clock monitor and the IDLE Timer T0, is stopped.  
The power supply requirements of the microcontroller in this  
mode of operation are typically around 30% of normal power  
requirement of the microcontroller.  
Alternatively, the user can enter the IDLE mode with the  
IDLE Timer T0 interrupt disabled. In this case, the device will  
resume normal operation with the instruction immediately  
following the Enter IDLE Modeinstruction.  
As with the HALT mode, the device can be returned to nor-  
mal operation with a reset, or with a Multi-Input Wakeup from  
the L Port.  
The IDLE timer cannot be started or stopped under software  
control, and it is not memory mapped, so it cannot be read or  
written by the software. Its state upon Reset is unknown.  
Therefore, if the device is put into the IDLE mode at an arbi-  
trary time, it will stay in the IDLE mode for somewhere be-  
tween 1 and the selected number of instruction cycles. Upon  
reset the ITMR register is cleared and selects the 4,096 in-  
struction cycle tap of the Idle Timer.  
Note: It is necessary to program two NOP instructions following both the set  
HALT mode and set IDLE mode instructions. These NOP instructions  
are necessary to allow clock resynchronization following the HALT or  
IDLE modes.  
The microcontroller may also be awakened from the IDLE  
mode after a selectable amount of time up to 65,536 instruc-  
tion cycles, or 65.536 milliseconds with a 1 MHz instruction  
clock frequency (10 MHz oscillator).  
The IDLE timer period is selectable from one of five values,  
4k, 8k, 16k, 32k or 64k instruction cycles. Selection of this  
value is made through the ITMR register.  
The user has the option of being interrupted with an under-  
flow of the selected bit of the IDLE Timer T0. This condition  
is latched into the T0PND pending flag. The interrupt can be  
enabled or disabled via the T0EN control bit. Setting the  
T0EN flag enables the interrupt and vice versa.  
For more information on the IDLE Timer and its associated  
interrupt, see the description in the Timers Section.

FIGURE 16. Wakeup from IDLE  
7.3 MULTI-INPUT WAKEUP  
An example may serve to clarify this procedure. Suppose we  
wish to change the edge select from positive (low going high)  
to negative (high going low) for L Port bit 5, where bit 5 has  
previously been enabled for an input interrupt. The program  
would be as follows:  
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature is used to return (wakeup)  
the device from either the HALT or IDLE modes. Alternately  
Multi-Input Wakeup/Interrupt feature may also be used to  
generate up to 8 edge selectable external interrupts.  
RBIT 5, WKEN  
SBIT 5, WKEDG ; Change edge polarity  
RBIT 5, WKPND ; Reset pending flag  
; Disable MIWU  
Figure 17 shows the Multi-Input Wakeup logic.  
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature utilizes the L Port. The user  
selects which particular L port bit (or combination of L Port  
bits) will cause the device to exit the HALT or IDLE modes.  
The selection is done through the register WKEN. The regis-  
ter WKEN is an 8-bit read/write register, which contains a  
control bit for every L port bit. Setting a particular WKEN bit  
enables a Wakeup from the associated L port pin.  
SBIT 5, WKEN  
; Enable MIWU  
If the L port bits have been used as outputs and then  
changed to inputs with Multi-Input Wakeup/Interrupt, a safety  
procedure should also be followed to avoid wakeup condi-  
tions. After the selected L port bits have been changed from  
output to input but before the associated WKEN bits are en-  
abled, the associated edge select bits in WKEDG should be  
set or reset for the desired edge selects, followed by the as-  
sociated WKPND bits being cleared.  
The user can select whether the trigger condition on the se-  
lected L Port pin is going to be either a positive edge (low to  
high transition) or a negative edge (high to low transition).  
This selection is made via the register WKEDG, which is an  
8-bit control register with a bit assigned to each L Port pin.  
Setting the control bit will select the trigger condition to be a  
negative edge on that particular L Port pin. Resetting the bit  
selects the trigger condition to be a positive edge. Changing  
an edge select entails several steps in order to avoid a  
Wakeup condition as a result of the edge change. First, the  
associated WKEN bit should be reset, followed by the edge  
select change in WKEDG. Next, the associated WKPND bit  
should be cleared, followed by the associated WKEN bit be-  
ing re-enabled.  
This same procedure should be used following reset, since  
the L port inputs are left floating as a result of reset.  
The occurrence of the selected trigger condition for Multi-  
Input Wakeup is latched into a pending register called WK-  
PND. The respective bits of the WKPND register will be set  
on the occurrence of the selected trigger edge on the corre-  
sponding Port L pin. The user has the responsibility of clear-  
ing these pending flags. Since WKPND is a pending register  
for the occurrence of selected wakeup conditions, the device  
will not enter the HALT mode if any Wakeup bit is both en-  
abled and pending. Consequently, the user must clear the  
pending flags before attempting to enter the HALT mode.  
WKEN and WKEDG are all read/write registers, and are  
cleared at reset. WKPND register contains random value af-  
ter reset.

8.0 Interrupts  
8.1 INTRODUCTION  
The Software trap has the highest priority while the default  
VIS has the lowest priority.  
Each device supports eight vectored interrupts. Interrupt  
sources include Timer 0, Timer 1, EERAM Write Complete,  
Port L Wakeup, Software Trap, MICROWIRE/PLUS, and Ex-  
ternal Input.  
Each of the 7 maskable inputs has a fixed arbitration ranking  
and vector.  
Figure 18 shows the Interrupt Block Diagram.  
All interrupts force a branch to location 00FF Hex in program  
memory. The VIS instruction may be used to vector to the  
appropriate service routine from location 00FF Hex.

interrupt, and jump to the interrupt handling routine corre-  
sponding to the highest priority enabled and active interrupt.  
Alternately, the user may choose to poll all interrupt pending  
and enable bits to determine the source(s) of the interrupt. If  
more than one interrupt is active, the user’s program must  
decide which interrupt to service.  
8.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
8.2 MASKABLE INTERRUPTS  
All interrupts other than the Software Trap are maskable.  
Each maskable interrupt has an associated enable bit and  
pending flag bit. The pending bit is set to 1 when the interrupt  
condition occurs. The state of the interrupt enable bit, com-  
bined with the GIE bit determines whether an active pending  
flag actually triggers an interrupt. All of the maskable inter-  
rupt pending and enable bits are contained in mapped con-  
trol registers, and thus can be controlled by the software.  
Within a specific interrupt service routine, the associated  
pending bit should be cleared. This is typically done as early  
as possible in the service routine in order to avoid missing  
the next occurrence of the same type of interrupt event.  
Thus, if the same event occurs a second time, even while the  
first occurrence is still being serviced, the second occur-  
rence will be serviced immediately upon return from the cur-  
rent interrupt routine.  
A maskable interrupt condition triggers an interrupt under the  
following conditions:  
1. The enable bit associated with that interrupt is set.  
2. The GIE bit is set.  
An interrupt service routine typically ends with an RETI in-  
struction. This instruction sets the GIE bit back to 1, pops the  
address stored on the stack, and restores that address to the  
program counter. Program execution then proceeds with the  
next instruction that would have been executed had there  
been no interrupt. If there are any valid interrupts pending,  
the highest-priority interrupt is serviced immediately upon re-  
turn from the previous interrupt.  
3. The device is not processing a non-maskable interrupt.  
(If  
a non-maskable interrupt is being serviced, a  
maskable interrupt must wait until that service routine is  
completed.)  
An interrupt is triggered only when all of these conditions are  
met at the beginning of an instruction. If different maskable  
interrupts meet these conditions simultaneously, the highest  
priority interrupt will be serviced first, and the other pending  
interrupts must wait.  
8.3 VIS INSTRUCTION  
The general interrupt service routine, which starts at address  
00FF Hex, must be capable of handling all types of inter-  
rupts. The VIS instruction, together with an interrupt vector  
table, directs the device to the specific interrupt handling rou-  
tine based on the cause of the interrupt.  
Upon Reset, all pending bits, individual enable bits, and the  
GIE bit are reset to zero. Thus, a maskable interrupt condi-  
tion cannot trigger an interrupt until the program enables it by  
setting both the GIE bit and the individual enable bit. When  
enabling an interrupt, the user should consider whether or  
not a previously activated (set) pending bit should be ac-  
knowledged. If, at the time an interrupt is enabled, any pre-  
vious occurrences of the interrupt should be ignored, the as-  
sociated pending bit must be reset to zero prior to enabling  
the interrupt. Otherwise, the interrupt may be simply en-  
abled; if the pending bit is already set, it will immediately trig-  
ger an interrupt. A maskable interrupt is active if its associ-  
ated enable and pending bits are set.  
VIS is a single-byte instruction, typically used at the very be-  
ginning of the general interrupt service routine at address  
00FF Hex, or shortly after that point, just after the code used  
for context switching. The VIS instruction determines which  
enabled and pending interrupt has the highest priority, and  
causes an indirect jump to the address corresponding to that  
interrupt source. The jump addresses (vectors) for all pos-  
sible interrupts sources are stored in a vector table.  
The vector table may be as long as 32 bytes (maximum of 16  
vectors) and resides at the top of the 256-byte block contain-  
ing the VIS instruction. However, if the VIS instruction is at  
the very top of a 256-byte block (such as at 00FF Hex), the  
vector table resides at the top of the next 256-byte block.  
Thus, if the VIS instruction is located somewhere between  
00FF and 01DF Hex (the usual case), the vector table is lo-  
cated between addresses 01E0 and 01FF Hex. If the VIS in-  
struction is located between 01FF and 02DF Hex, then the  
vector table is located between addresses 02E0 and 02FF  
Hex, and so on.  
An interrupt is an asychronous event which may occur be-  
fore, during, or after an instruction cycle. Any interrupt which  
occurs during the execution of an instruction is not acknowl-  
edged until the start of the next normally executed instruction  
is to be skipped, the skip is performed before the pending in-  
terrupt is acknowledged.  
At the start of interrupt acknowledgment, the following ac-  
tions occur:  
1. The GIE bit is automatically reset to zero, preventing any  
subsequent maskable interrupt from interrupting the cur-  
rent service routine. This feature prevents one maskable  
interrupt from interrupting another one being serviced.  
Each vector is 15 bits long and points to the beginning of a  
specific interrupt service routine somewhere in the 32 kbyte  
memory space. Each vector occupies two bytes of the vector  
table, with the higher-order byte at the lower address. The  
vectors are arranged in order of interrupt priority. The vector  
of the maskable interrupt with the lowest rank is located to  
0yE0 (higher-order byte) and 0yE1 (lower-order byte). The  
next priority interrupt is located at 0yE2 and 0yE3, and so  
forth in increasing rank. The Software Trap has the highest  
rank and its vector is always located at 0yFE and 0yFF. The  
number of interrupts which can become active defines the  
size of the table.  
2. The address of the instruction about to be executed is  
pushed onto the stack.  
3. The program counter (PC) is loaded with 00FF Hex,  
causing a jump to that program memory location.  
The device requires seven instruction cycles to perform the  
actions listed above.  
If the user wishes to allow nested interrupts, the interrupts  
service routine may set the GIE bit to 1 by writing to the PSW  
register, and thus allow other maskable interrupts to interrupt  
the current service routine. If nested interrupts are allowed,  
caution must be exercised. The user must write the program  
in such a way as to prevent stack overflow, loss of saved  
context information, and other unwanted conditions.  
Table 4 shows the types of interrupts, the interrupt arbitration  
ranking, and the locations of the corresponding vectors in  
the vector table.  
The vector table should be filled by the user with the memory  
locations of the specific interrupt service routines. For ex-  
The interrupt service routine stored at location 00FF Hex  
should use the VIS instruction to determine the cause of the

gram context (A, B, X, etc.) and executing the RETI instruc-  
tion, an interrupt service routine can be terminated by return-  
ing to the VIS instruction. In this case, interrupts will be  
serviced in turn until no further interrupts are pending and  
the default VIS routine is started. After testing the GIE bit to  
ensure that execution is not erroneous, the routine should  
restore the program context and execute the RETI to return  
to the interrupted program.  
8.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
ample, if the Software Trap routine is located at 0310 Hex,  
then the vector location 0yFE and -0yFF should contain the  
data 03 and 10 Hex, respectively. When a Software Trap in-  
terrupt occurs and the VIS instruction is executed, the pro-  
gram jumps to the address specified in the vector table.  
The interrupt sources in the vector table are listed in order of  
rank, from highest to lowest priority. If two or more enabled  
and pending interrupts are detected at the same time, the  
one with the highest priority is serviced first. Upon return  
from the interrupt service routine, the next highest-level  
pending interrupt is serviced.  
This technique can save up to fifty instruction cycles (t  
c), or  
more, (50µs at 10 MHz oscillator) of latency for pending in-  
terrupts with a penalty of fewer than ten instruction cycles if  
no further interrupts are pending.  
To ensure reliable operation, the user should always use the  
VIS instruction to determine the source of an interrupt. Al-  
though it is possible to poll the pending bits to detect the  
source of an interrupt, this practice is not recommended. The  
use of polling allows the standard arbitration ranking to be al-  
tered, but the reliability of the interrupt system is compro-  
mised. The polling routine must individually test the enable  
and pending bits of each maskable interrupt. If a Software  
Trap interrupt should occur, it will be serviced last, even  
though it should have the highest priority. Under certain con-  
ditions, a Software Trap could be triggered but not serviced,  
resulting in an inadvertent “locking out” of all maskable inter-  
rupts by the Software Trap pending flag. Problems such as  
this can be avoided by using VIS instruction.  
If the VIS instruction is executed, but no interrupts are en-  
abled and pending, the lowest-priority interrupt vector is  
used, and a jump is made to the corresponding address in  
the vector table. This is an unusual occurrence, and may be  
the result of an error. It can legitimately result from a change  
in the enable bits or pending flags prior to the execution of  
the VIS instruction, such as executing a single cycle instruc-  
tion which clears an enable flag at the same time that the  
pending flag is set. It can also result, however, from inadvert-  
ent execution of the VIS command outside of the context of  
an interrupt.  
The default VIS interrupt vector can be useful for applica-  
tions in which time critical interrupts can occur during the  
servicing of another interrupt. Rather than restoring the pro-

mains unchanged. The new PC is therefore pointing to the  
vector of the active interrupt with the highest arbitration rank-  
ing. This vector is read from program memory and placed  
into the PC which is now pointed to the 1st instruction of the  
service routine of the active interrupt with the highest arbitra-

8.3.1 VIS Execution  
When the VIS instruction is executed it activates the arbitra-  
tion logic. The arbitration logic generates an even number  
between E0 and FE (E0, E2, E4, E6 etc...) depending on  
which active interrupt has the highest arbitration ranking at  
the time of the 1st cycle of VIS is executed. For example, if  
the software trap interrupt is active, FE is generated. If the  
external interrupt is active and the software trap interrupt is  
not, then FA is generated and so forth. If the only active inter-  
rupt is software trap, than E0 is generated. This number re-  
places the lower byte of the PC. The upper byte of the PC re-

flag; upon return to the first Software Trap routine, the  
STPND flag will have the wrong state. This will allow  
maskable interrupts to be acknowledged during the servicing  
of the first Software Trap. To avoid problems such as this, the  
user program should contain the Software Trap routine to  
perform a recovery procedure rather than a return to normal  
execution.  
8.0 Interrupts (Continued)  
8.4 NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT  
8.4.1 Pending Flag  
There is a pending flag bit associated with the non-maskable  
interrupt, called STPND. This pending flag is not memory-  
mapped and cannot be accessed directly by the software.  
Under normal conditions, the STPND flag is reset by a  
RPND instruction in the Software Trap service routine. If a  
programming error or hardware condition (brownout, power  
supply glitch, etc.) sets the STPND flag without providing a  
way for it to be cleared, all other interrupts will be locked out.  
To alleviate this condition, the user can use extra RPND in-  
structions in the main program and in the WATCHDOG ser-  
vice routine (if present). There is no harm in executing extra  
RPND instructions in these parts of the program.  
The pending flag is reset to zero when a device Reset oc-  
curs. When the non-maskable interrupt occurs, the associ-  
ated pending bit is set to 1. The interrupt service routine  
should contain an RPND instruction to reset the pending flag  
to zero. The RPND instruction always resets the STPND  
flag.  
8.4.2 Software Trap  
The Software Trap is a special kind of non-maskable inter-  
rupt which occurs when the INTR instruction (used to ac-  
knowledge interrupts) is fetched from program memory and  
placed in the instruction register. This can happen in a vari-  
ety of ways, usually because of an error condition. Some ex-  
amples of causes are listed below.  
8.5 PORT L INTERRUPTS  
Port L provides the user with an additional eight fully select-  
able, edge sensitive interrupts which are all vectored into the  
same service subroutine.  
The interrupt from Port L shares logic with the wake up cir-  
cuitry. The register WKEN allows interrupts from Port L to be  
individually enabled or disabled. The register WKEDG speci-  
fies the trigger condition to be either a positive or a negative  
edge. Finally, the register WKPND latches in the pending  
trigger conditions.  
If the program counter incorrectly points to a memory loca-  
tion beyond the available program memory space, the non-  
existent or unused memory location returns zeroes which is  
interpreted as the INTR instruction.  
If the stack is popped beyond the allowed limit (address 06F  
Hex), a 7FFF will be loaded into the PC, if this last location in  
program memory is unprogrammed or unavailable, a Soft-  
ware Trap will be triggered.  
The GIE (Global Interrupt Enable) bit enables the interrupt  
function.  
A control flag, LPEN, functions as a global interrupt enable  
for Port L interrupts. Setting the LPEN flag will enable inter-  
rupts and vice versa. A separate global pending flag is not  
needed since the register WKPND is adequate.  
A Software Trap can be triggered by a temporary hardware  
condition such as a brownout or power supply glitch.  
The Software Trap has the highest priority of all interrupts.  
When a Software Trap occurs, the STPND bit is set. The GIE  
bit is not affected and the pending bit (not accessible by the  
user) is used to inhibit other interrupts and to direct the pro-  
gram to the ST service routine with the VIS instruction. Noth-  
ing can interrupt a Software Trap service routine except for  
another Software Trap. The STPND can be reset only by the  
RPND instruction or a chip Reset.  
Since Port L is also used for waking the device out of the  
HALT or IDLE modes, the user can elect to exit the HALT or  
IDLE modes either with or without the interrupt enabled. If he  
elects to disable the interrupt, then the device will restart ex-  
ecution from the instruction immediately following the in-  
struction that placed the microcontroller in the HALT or IDLE  
modes. In the other case, the device will first execute the in-  
terrupt service routine and then revert to normal operation.  
(See HALT MODE for clock option wakeup information.)  
The Software Trap indicates an unusual or unknown error  
condition. Generally, returning to normal execution at the  
point where the Software Trap occurred cannot be done re-  
liably. Therefore, the Software Trap service routine should  
reinitialize the stack pointer and perform a recovery proce-  
dure that restarts the software at some known point, similar  
to a device Reset, but not necessarily performing all the  
same functions as a device Reset. The routine must also ex-  
ecute the RPND instruction to reset the STPND flag. Other-  
wise, all other interrupts will be locked out. To the extent pos-  
sible, the interrupt routine should record or indicate the  
context of the device so that the cause of the Software Trap  
can be determined.  
8.6 INTERRUPT SUMMARY  
The device uses the following types of interrupts, listed be-  
low in order of priority:  
1. The Software Trap non-maskable interrupt, triggered by  
the INTR (00 opcode) instruction. The Software Trap is  
acknowledged immediately. This interrupt service rou-  
tine can be interrupted only by another Software Trap.  
The Software Trap should end with two RPND instruc-  
tions followed by a restart procedure.  
2. Maskable interrupts, triggered by an on-chip peripheral  
block or an external device connected to the device. Un-  
der ordinary conditions, a maskable interrupt will not in-  
If the user wishes to return to normal execution from the  
point at which the Software Trap was triggered, the user  
must first execute RPND, followed by RETSK rather than  
RETI or RET. This is because the return address stored on  
the stack is the address of the INTR instruction that triggered  
the interrupt. The program must skip that instruction in order  
to proceed with the next one. Otherwise, an infinite loop of  
Software Traps and returns will occur.  
terrupt any other interrupt routine in progress.  
maskable interrupt routine in progress can be inter-  
rupted by the non-maskable interrupt request.  
maskable interrupt routine should end with an RETI in-  
struction or, prior to restoring context, should return to  
execute the VIS instruction. This is particularly useful  
when exiting long interrupt service routiness if the time  
between interrupts is short. In this case the RETI instruc-  
tion would only be executed when the default VIS rou-  
tine is reached.

Programming a return to normal execution requires careful  
consideration. If the Software Trap routine is interrupted by  
another Software Trap, the RPND instruction in the service  
routine for the second Software Trap will reset the STPND

9.1 CLOCK MONITOR  
9.0 WATCHDOG/Clock Monitor  
The Clock Monitor aboard the device can be selected or de-  
selected under program control. The Clock Monitor is guar-  
anteed not to reject the clock if the instruction cycle clock (1/  
tC) is greater or equal to 10 kHz. This equates to a clock  
input rate on CKI of greater or equal to 100 kHz.  
Each device contains a user selectable WATCHDOG and  
clock monitor. The following section is applicable only if  
WATCHDOG feature has been selected by mask option. The  
WATCHDOG is designed to detect the user program getting  
stuck in infinite loops resulting in loss of program control or  
“runaway” programs.  
9.2 WATCHDOG/CLOCK MONITOR OPERATION  
The WATCHDOG logic contains two separate service win-  
dows. While the user programmable upper window selects  
the WATCHDOG service time, the lower window provides  
protection against an infinite program loop that contains the  
WATCHDOG service instruction.  
The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor are disabled during re-  
set. The device comes out of reset with the WATCHDOG  
armed, the WATCHDOG Window Select bits (bits 6, 7 of the  
WDSVR Register) set, and the Clock Monitor bit (bit 0 of the  
WDSVR Register) enabled. Thus, a Clock Monitor error will  
occur after coming out of reset, if the instruction cycle clock  
frequency has not reached a minimum specified value, in-  
cluding the case where the oscillator fails to start.  
The Clock Monitor is used to detect the absence of a clock or  
a very slow clock below a specified rate on the CKI pin.  
The WATCHDOG consists of two independent logic blocks:  
WD UPPER and WD LOWER. WD UPPER establishes the  
upper limit on the service window and WD LOWER defines  
the lower limit of the service window.  
The WDSVR register can be written to only once after reset  
and the key data (bits 5 through 1 of the WDSVR Register)  
must match to be a valid write. This write to the WDSVR reg-  
ister involves two irrevocable choices: (i) the selection of the  
WATCHDOG service window (ii) enabling or disabling of the  
Clock Monitor. Hence, the first write to WDSVR Register in-  
volves selecting or deselecting the Clock Monitor, select the  
WATCHDOG service window and match the WATCHDOG  
key data. Subsequent writes to the WDSVR register will  
compare the value being written by the user to the WATCH-  
DOG service window value and the key data (bits 7 through  
1) in the WDSVR Register. Table 7 shows the sequence of  
events that can occur.  
Servicing the WATCHDOG consists of writing a specific  
value to a WATCHDOG Service Register named WDSVR  
which is memory mapped in the RAM. This value is com-  
posed of three fields, consisting of a 2-bit Window Select, a  
5-bit Key Data field, and the 1-bit Clock Monitor Select field.  
Table 5 shows the WDSVR register.

The user must service the WATCHDOG at least once before  
the upper limit of the service window expires. The WATCH-

The lower limit of the service window is fixed at 256 instruc-  
tion cycles. Bits 7 and 6 of the WDSVR register allow the  
user to pick an upper limit of the service window.  
The WATCHDOG has an output pin associated with it. This  
is the WDOUT pin, on pin 1 of the port G. WDOUT is active  
low and must be externally connected to the RESET pin or to  
some other external logic which handles WATCHDOG event.  
The WDOUT pin has a weak pullup in the inactive state. This  
pull-up is sufficient to serve as the connection to VCC for sys-  
tems which use the internal Power On Reset. Upon trigger-  
ing the WATCHDOG, the logic will pull the WDOUT (G1) pin  
low for an additional 16 tC–32 tC cycles after the signal level  
on WDOUT pin goes below the lower Schmitt trigger thresh-  
old. After this delay, the WDOUT output will go high. The  
WATCHDOG service window will restart when the WDOUT  
pin goes high.  
Table 6 shows the four possible combinations of lower and  
upper limits for the WATCHDOG service window. This flex-  
ibility in choosing the WATCHDOG service window prevents  
any undue burden on the user software.  
Bits 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 of the WDSVR register represent the  
5-bit Key Data field. The key data is fixed at 01100. Bit 0 of  
the WDSVR Register is the Clock Monitor Select bit.

9.3 WATCHDOG AND CLOCK MONITOR SUMMARY  
A hardware WATCHDOG service occurs just as the de-  
vice exits the IDLE mode. Consequently, the WATCH-  
DOG should not be serviced for at least 2048 instruction  
cycles following IDLE, but must be serviced within the se-  
lected window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.  
The following salient points regarding the WATCHDOG and  
CLOCK MONITOR should be noted:  
Both the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONITOR detector  
circuits are inhibited during RESET.  
Following RESET, the initial WATCHDOG service (where  
the service window and the CLOCK MONITOR enable/  
disable must be selected) may be programmed any-  
where within the maximum service window (65,536 in-  
struction cycles) initialized by RESET. Note that this initial  
WATCHDOG service may be programmed within the ini-  
tial 2048 instruction cycles without causing a WATCH-  
DOG error.  
Following RESET, the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONI-  
TOR are both enabled, with the WATCHDOG having the  
maximum service window selected.  
The WATCHDOG service window and CLOCK MONI-  
TOR enable/disable option can only be changed once,  
during the initial WATCHDOG service following RESET.  
The initial WATCHDOG service must match the key data  
value in the WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR in or-  
der to avoid a WATCHDOG error.  
9.4 DETECTION OF ILLEGAL CONDITIONS  
Subsequent WATCHDOG services must match all three  
data fields in WDSVR in order to avoid WATCHDOG er-  
rors.  
The device can detect various illegal conditions resulting  
from coding errors, transient noise, power supply voltage  
drops, runaway programs, etc.  
The correct key data value cannot be read from the  
WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR. Any attempt to  
read this key data value of 01100 from WDSVR will read  
as key data value of all 0’s.  
Reading of undefined ROM gets zeroes. The opcode for  
software interrupt is 00. If the program fetches instructions  
from undefined ROM, this will force a software interrupt, thus  
signaling that an illegal condition has occurred.  
The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during both  
the HALT and IDLE modes.  
The subroutine stack grows down for each call (jump to sub-  
routine), interrupt, or PUSH, and grows up for each return or  
POP. The stack pointer is initialized to RAM location 06F Hex  
during reset. Consequently, if there are more returns than  
calls, the stack pointer will point to addresses 070 and 071  
Hex (which are undefined RAM). Undefined RAM from ad-  
dresses 070 to 07F (Segment 0), and all other segments  
(i.e., Segments 4 … etc.) is read as all 1’s, which in turn will  
cause the program to return to address 7FFF Hex. It is rec-  
ommended that the user either leave this location unpro-  
grammed or place an INTR instruction (all 0’s) in this location  
to generate a software interrupt signaling an illegal condition.  
The CLOCK MONITOR detector circuit is active during  
both the HALT and IDLE modes. Consequently, the de-  
vice inadvertently entering the HALT mode will be de-  
tected as a CLOCK MONITOR error (provided that the  
CLOCK MONITOR enable option has been selected by  
the program).  
With the single-pin R/C oscillator option selected and the  
CLKDLY bit reset, the WATCHDOG service window will  
resume following HALT mode from where it left off before  
entering the HALT mode.  
Thus, the chip can detect the following illegal conditions:  
1. Executing from undefined ROM.  
With the crystal oscillator option selected, or with the  
single-pin R/C oscillator option selected and the CLKDLY  
bit set, the WATCHDOG service window will be set to its  
selected value from WDSVR following HALT. Conse-  
quently, the WATCHDOG should not be serviced for at  
least 2048 instruction cycles following HALT, but must be  
serviced within the selected window to avoid a WATCH-  
DOG error.  
2. Over “POP”ing the stack by having more returns than  
calls.  
When the software interrupt occurs, the user can re-initialize  
the stack pointer and do a recovery procedure before restart-  
ing (this recovery program is probably similar to that follow-  
ing reset, but might not contain the same program initializa-  
tion procedures). The recovery program should reset the  
software interrupt pending bit using the RPND instruction.  
The IDLE timer T0 is not initialized with external RESET.  
The user can sync in to the IDLE counter cycle with an  
IDLE counter (T0) interrupt or by monitoring the T0PND  
flag. The T0PND flag is set whenever the selected bit of  
the IDLE counter toggles (every 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64k in-  
struction cycles). The user is responsible for resetting the  
T0PND flag.

10.1 MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION  
10.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS  
Setting the BUSY bit in the PSW register causes the  
MICROWIRE/PLUS to start shifting the data. It gets reset  
when eight data bits have been shifted. The user may reset  
the BUSY bit by software to allow less than 8 bits to shift. If  
enabled, an interrupt is generated when eight data bits have  
been shifted. The device may enter the MICROWIRE/PLUS  
mode either as a Master or as a Slave. Figure 21 shows how  
two microcontroller devices and several peripherals may be  
interconnected using the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangements.  
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a serial SPI compatible synchronous  
communications interface. The MICROWIRE/PLUS capabil-  
ity enables the device to interface with MICROWIRE/PLUS  
or SPI peripherals (i.e. A/D converters, display drivers, EE-  
PROMs etc.) and with other microcontrollers which support  
the MICROWIRE/PLUS or SPI interface. It consists of an  
8-bit serial shift register (SIO) with serial data input (SI), se-  
rial data output (SO) and serial shift clock (SK). Figure 21  
shows a block diagram of the MICROWIRE/PLUS logic.  
WARNING  
The shift clock can be selected from either an internal source  
or an external source. Operating the MICROWIRE/PLUS ar-  
rangement with the internal clock source is called the Master  
mode of operation. Similarly, operating the MICROWIRE/  
PLUS arrangement with an external shift clock is called the  
Slave mode of operation.  
The SIO register should only be loaded when the SK clock is  
in the idle phase. Loading the SIO register while the SK clock  
is in the active phase, will result in undefined data in the SIO  
register.  
Setting the BUSY flag when the input SK clock is in the ac-  
tive phase while in the MICROWIRE/PLUS is in the slave  
mode may cause the current SK clock for the SIO shift reg-  
ister to be narrow. For safety, the BUSY flag should only be  
set when the input SK clock is in the idle phase.  
The CNTRL register is used to configure and control the  
MICROWIRE/PLUS mode. To use the MICROWIRE/PLUS,  
the MSEL bit in the CNTRL register is set to one. In the mas-  
ter mode, the SK clock rate is selected by the two bits, SL0  
and SL1, in the CNTRL register. Table 8 details the different  
clock rates that may be selected.  
10.1.1 MICROWIRE/PLUS Master Mode Operation  
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Master mode of operation the  
shift clock (SK) is generated internally. The MICROWIRE  
Master always initiates all data exchanges. The MSEL bit in  
the CNTRL register must be set to enable the SO and SK  
functions onto the G Port. The SO and SK pins must also be  
selected as outputs by setting appropriate bits in the Port G  
configuration register. In the slave mode, the shift clock  
stops after 8 clock pulses. Table 9 summarizes the bit set-  
tings required for Master mode of operation.

The user must set the BUSY flag immediately upon entering  
the Slave mode. This ensures that all data bits sent by the  
Master is shifted properly. After eight clock pulses the BUSY  
flag is clear, the shift clock is stopped, and the sequence  
may be repeated.  
10.0 MICROWIRE/PLUS (Continued)  
10.1.2 MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave Mode Operation  
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave mode of operation the SK  
clock is generated by an external source. Setting the MSEL  
bit in the CNTRL register enables the SO and SK functions  
onto the G Port. The SK pin must be selected as an input  
and the SO pin is selected as an output pin by setting and re-  
setting the appropriate bits in the Port G configuration regis-  
ter. Table 9 summarizes the settings required to enter the  
Slave mode of operation.  
10.1.3 Alternate SK Phase Operation and SK Idle  
Polarity  
The device allows either the normal SK clock or an alternate  
phase SK clock to shift data in and out of the SIO register. In  
both the modes the SK idle polarity can be either high or low.  
The polarity is selected by bit 5 of Port G data register. In the  
normal mode data is shifted in on the rising edge of the SK  
clock and the data is shifted out on the falling edge of the SK  
clock. In the alternate SK phase operation, data is shifted in  
on the falling edge of the SK clock and shifted out on the ris-  
ing edge of the SK clock. Bit 6 of Port G configuration regis-  
ter selects the SK edge.

A control flag, SKSEL, allows either the normal SK clock or

nate SK clock. The SKSEL is mapped into the G6 configura-  
tion bit. The SKSEL flag will power up in the reset condition,  
selecting the normal SK signal.

This section defines the instruction set of the COPSAx7  
Family members. It contains information about the instruc-  
tion set features, addressing modes and types.

Immediate Short  
Indirect from Program Memory  
12.2 INSTRUCTION FEATURES  
The strength of the instruction set is based on the following  
features:  
The addressing modes are described below. Each descrip-  
tion includes an example of an assembly language instruc-  
tion using the described addressing mode.  
Mostly single-byte opcode instructions minimize program  
size.  
Direct. The memory address is specified directly as a byte in  
the instruction. In assembly language, the direct address is  
written as a numerical value (or a label that has been defined  
elsewhere in the program as a numerical value).  
One instruction cycle for the majority of single-byte in-  
structions to minimize program execution time.  
Many single-byte, multiple function instructions such as  
DRSZ.  
Example: Load Accumulator Memory Direct  
LD A,05  
Three memory mapped pointers: two for register indirect  
addressing, and one for the software stack.

with optional automatic post-incrementing or decrement-  
ing of the register pointer. This allows for greater effi-  
ciency (both in cycle time and program code) in loading,  
walking across and processing fields in data memory.  
Register B or X Indirect. The memory address is specified  
by the contents of the B Register or X register (pointer regis-  
ter). In assembly language, the notation [B] or [X] specifies  
which register serves as the pointer.  
Example: Exchange Memory with Accumulator, B Indirect

12.3 ADDRESSING MODES  
The instruction set offers a variety of methods for specifying  
memory addresses. Each method is called an addressing  
mode. These modes are classified into two categories: oper-  
and addressing modes and transfer-of-control addressing  
modes. Operand addressing modes are the various meth-  
ods of specifying an address for accessing (reading or writ-  
ing) data. Transfer-of-control addressing modes are used in  
conjunction with jump instructions to control the execution  
sequence of the software program.

Register  
B or X Indirect with Post-Incrementing/  
Decrementing. The relevant memory address is specified  
by the contents of the B Register or X register (pointer regis-  
ter). The pointer register is automatically incremented or  
decremented after execution, allowing easy manipulation of  
memory blocks with software loops. In assembly language,  
the notation [B+], [B−], [X+], or [X−] specifies which register  
serves as the pointer, and whether the pointer is to be incre-  
mented or decremented.  
12.3.1 Operand Addressing Modes  
The operand of an instruction specifies what memory loca-  
tion is to be affected by that instruction. Several different op-  
erand addressing modes are available, allowing memory lo-  
cations to be specified in a variety of ways. An instruction  
can specify an address directly by supplying the specific ad-  
dress, or indirectly by specifying a register pointer. The con-  
tents of the register (or in some cases, two registers) point to  
the desired memory location. In the immediate mode, the  
data byte to be used is contained in the instruction itself.

Each addressing mode has its own advantages and disad-  
vantages with respect to flexibility, execution speed, and pro-  
gram compactness. Not all modes are available with all in-  
structions. The Load (LD) instruction offers the largest  
number of addressing modes.

Jump Relative. In this 1-byte instruction, six bits of the in-  
struction opcode specify the distance of the jump from the  
current program memory location. The distance of the jump  
can range from −31 to +32. A JP+1 instruction is not allowed.  
The programmer should use a NOP instead.

Indirect from Program Memory. This is a special case of  
an indirect instruction that allows access to data tables  
stored in program memory. In the “Load Accumulator Indi-  
rect” (LAID) instruction, the upper and lower bytes of the Pro-  
gram Counter (PCU and PCL) are used temporarily as a  
pointer to program memory. For purposes of accessing pro-  
gram memory, the contents of the Accumulator and PCL are  
exchanged. The data pointed to by the Program Counter is  
loaded into the Accumulator, and simultaneously, the original  
contents of PCL are restored so that the program can re-  
sume normal execution.  
(This restriction is relevant only in devices using more than  
one 4 kbyte program memory space.)

12.3.2 Tranfer-of-Control Addressing Modes  
Program instructions are usually executed in sequential or-  
der. However, Jump instructions can be used to change the  
normal execution sequence. Several transfer-of-control ad-  
dressing modes are available to specify jump addresses.  
A change in program flow requires a non-incremental  
change in the Program Counter contents. The Program  
Counter consists of two bytes, designated the upper byte  
(PCU) and lower byte (PCL). The most significant bit of PCU  
is not used, leaving 15 bits to address the program memory.  
Different addressing modes are used to specify the new ad-  
dress for the Program Counter. The choice of addressing  
mode depends primarily on the distance of the jump. Farther  
jumps sometimes require more instruction bytes in order to  
completely specify the new Program Counter contents.  
The available transfer-of-control addressing modes are:  
Jump Relative  
Jump Absolute  
Jump Absolute Long  
Jump Indirect

12.0 Instruction Set (Continued)  
Jump Indirect. In this 1-byte instruction, the lower byte of  
the jump address is obtained from a table stored in program  
memory, with the Accumulator serving as the low order byte  
of a pointer into program memory. For purposes of access-  
ing program memory, the contents of the Accumulator are  
written to PCL (temporarily). The data pointed to by the Pro-  
gram Counter (PCH/PCL) is loaded into PCL, while PCH re-  
mains unchanged.  
Software Trap Interrupt (INTR)  
Vector Interrupt Select (VIS)  
12.4.3 Load and Exchange Instructions  
The load and exchange instructions write byte values in reg-  
isters or memory. The addressing mode determines the  
source of the data.

The available instructions are listed below, organized into re-  
lated groups.  
Rotate Right Through Carry (RRC)  
Rotate Left Through Carry (RLC)  
Swap Nibbles of Accumulator (SWAP)  
Some instructions test a condition and skip the next instruc-  
tion if the condition is not true. Skipped instructions are ex-  
ecuted as no-operation (NOP) instructions.  
12.4.6 Stack Control Instructions  
Push Data onto Stack (PUSH)  
Pop Data off of Stack (POP)  
12.4.1 Arithmetic Instructions  
The arithmetic instructions perform binary arithmetic such as  
addition and subtraction, with or without the Carry bit.  
12.4.7 Memory Bit Manipulation Instructions  
Add (ADD)  
The memory bit manipulation instructions allow the user to  
set and reset individual bits in memory.  
Add with Carry (ADC)  
Subtract (SUB)  
Set Bit (SBIT)  
Subtract with Carry (SUBC)  
Increment (INC)  
Reset Bit (RBIT)  
Reset Pending Bit (RPND)  
Decrement (DEC)  
Decimal Correct (DCOR)  
Clear Accumulator (CLR)  
Set Carry (SC)  
12.4.8 Conditional Instructions  
The conditional instruction test a condition. If the condition is  
true, the next instruction is executed in the normal manner; if  
the condition is false, the next instruction is skipped.  
Reset Carry (RC)  
If Equal (IFEQ)  
If Not Equal (IFNE)  
12.4.2 Transfer-of-Control Instructions  
If Greater Than (IFGT)  
If Carry (IFC)  
The transfer-of-control instructions change the usual se-  
quential program flow by altering the contents of the Pro-  
gram Counter. The Jump to Subroutine instructions save the  
Program Counter contents on the stack before jumping; the  
Return instructions pop the top of the stack back into the  
Program Counter.

12.7 INSTRUCTION EXECUTION TIME  
Most instructions are single byte (with immediate addressing  
mode instructions taking two bytes).  
Most single byte instructions take one cycle time to execute.  
Skipped instructions require x number of cycles to be  
skipped, where x equals the number of bytes in the skipped  
instruction opcode.
