Overview
The Z90255 and Z90251 are the ROM and OTP versions of a Television
Controller with On-Screen Display (OSD) that contains 32 KB of program
memory.
•
The Z90251 is the one-time programmable (OTP) controller used to develop
code or prototypes for specific television applications or initial limited
production. Program ROM and Character Generation ROM (CGROM) in
the Z90251 are both programmable.
•
The Z90255 incorporates the ROM code developed by the customer with
the Z90251. Customer code is masked into both program ROM and
CGROM.
An application-specific controller designed to provide complete audio and video
control of television receivers and video recorders, the Z90255 provides
advanced OSD features. Figure 1 illustrates a typical TV system application using
the Z90255. Figure 2 is a block diagram of the Z90255 architecture.

Note:
PWM 6 can be either a 6-bit or 14-bit output.
The Z90255 takes full advantage of ZilogÕs Z8 expanded register file space to
offer greater flexibility in creating a user-friendly On-Screen Display (OSD).
Three basic addressing spaces are available: Program memory, Video RAM
(VRAM) and the Register file. The register file is composed of 300 bytes of
general-purpose registers, 16 control and status registers, one I/O port register
and three reserved registers.

The OSD module supports 10 rows by 24 columns of characters. Each character
color can be specified. There are eight foreground colors and eight background
colors. When the foreground and background colors are the same, the
background is transparent.
If Row, Second color and Character set are defined, an analog bar line can be
displayed for volume control, signal levels, and tuning.
The OSD can display four character sizes:
•
•
•
•
1X (14 x 18 pixels)
2X (28 x 36 pixels)
Double width (28 x 18 pixels)
Double height (14 x36 pixels)
Inter-row spacing can be programmed within 0 to 15 Horizontal scan lines. Using
multiple characters with zero inter-row spacing allows the creation of large psuedo
icons.
A 14-bit Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) port provides necessary voltage resolution
for a voltage synthesizer tuning system. Ten 6-bit PWM ports are used to control
audio (base, treble, balance and volume) and video (contrast, brightness, color,
tint and sharpness) signal levels.
There are 27 I/O pins grouped into four ports. These I/O pins can be configured
through software to provide timing, status signals, serial and parallel input and
output.
For real-time events, such as counting, timing and data communication, two on-
chip counter/timers are implemented. The Z90255 is packaged in a 42-pin SDIP
and provides an ideal, reliable solution for high-volume consumer television
applications.

Memory Description
A total of 300 bytes of general purpose register memory is implemented in the
Z90255. These registers are composed of 236 registers from the standard
register file and 64 registers from the expanded register file.
2.1 Standard Register File
The Z90255 Standard Register File consists of two I/O port registers (02h and
03h), 236 general purpose registers (04h-EFh) and 15 (F1h-FFh) control and
status registers. Registers 00h, 01h, and F0h are reserved. Figure 5 is the
register file map. Instructions can access registers directly or indirectly with an 8-
bit address field. This also allows short 4-bit addressing using the Register
Pointer. In the 4-bit mode, the register file is divided into sixteen working register
groups. The upper nibble of the Register Pointer (FDh) addresses the starting
location of the active working-register group.
Note:
Registers E0h-EFh are only accessed through a working-
register and indirect addressing mode.

2.2 Expanded Register File
The register file has been expanded to provide additional system control registers,
additional general purpose registers, and expanded mapping of peripheral
devices and I/O ports in the register address area.
The lower nibble of the Register Pointer (FDh) addresses the Expanded Register
File (ERF) Bank. The 0h value in the lower nibble identifies the Standard Register
File to be addressed. Any other value from 1h to Fh selects an ERF Bank. When
an ERF Bank is selected, register addresses from 00h to 0Fh access the sixteen
ERF Bank registers, which in effect replace the first sixteen locations of the
Z90255 Standard Register File. Only ERF Bank 4, ERF Bank 5, ERF Bank 6, ERF
Bank 7, ERF Bank A, ERF Bank B, ERF Bank C and ERF Bank F are
implemented in the Z90255 controller (Table 4).
2.3 Program Memory
The Z90255 has 32KB of program memory. Refer to Figure 6. The first 12 bytes of
the program memory are reserved for the interrupt vectors. These locations
contain six 16-bit vectors that correspond to interrupt and program control routine
addresses which are passed to the specified vector address. The IRQ0 vector is
permanently assigned to the IR interrupt request. The IRQ1 vector is permanently
assigned to the V
and H
interrupt request. Program memory starts at

Watch-Dog Timer (WDT)
The Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) is driven by an internal RC oscillator. Therefore
accuracy is dependent on the tolerance of the RC components. Table 5 describes

WDT During Halt Mode (T2)
Bit 2 determines if the WDT is active during Halt Mode. A 1value indicates active
during Halt. The default is 1. A WDT timeout during Halt Mode resets control
registers and ports to their default reset conditions.
Bit 3 determines if the WDT is active during Stop mode. A 1value indicates
active during Stop mode. A WDT timeout during Stop mode resets control
registers and ports to their default reset conditions.
Bits 4, 5, 6 and 7 are reserved and must be cleared to 0.
The WDTMR register is accessible only during the first 60 processor cycles from
the execution of the first instruction after Power-On Reset, Watch-Dog Reset, or a

16
Stop-Mode Recovery. After this point, the register cannot be modified by any
means, intentional or otherwise.
The WDT is permanently enabled after Reset. To ensure that the WDT is set
properly, use the following instructions as the first two instructions:
DI
WDT
The Watch-Dog timer must then be constantly refreshed within the required
timeout by executing the WDT Instruction.
Note:
Executing the WDT instruction affects the Z (zero), S (sign),
and V (overflow) flags.
A system reset overrides all other operating conditions and puts the micro-
controller into a known state. To initialize the chipÕs internal logic, the Reset input
must be held Low for at least 5 XTAL clock cycles. The control registers and ports
are reset to default conditions after a POR, a reset from the Reset pin, or a WDT
timeout while in Run Mode and Halt Mode. The control registers and ports are not
reset to their default conditions after Stop Mode Recovery and WDT timeout while
in Stop Mode.
The program counter is loaded with 000Ch. I/O ports and control registers are
configured to their default reset states.
Resetting the microcontroller does not Affect the contents of the general-purpose
registers.
The Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) is a retriggerable, one-shot timer that resets the
microcontroller if it reaches its terminal count. When operating in the Run, Halt or
Stop Modes, a WDT reset is functionally equivalent to a hardware POR reset.

Stop Mode and Halt Mode Operation
4.1 Power-Down Halt-Mode Operation
The Halt Mode suspends instruction execution and turns off the internal CPU
clock. The on-chip oscillator circuit remains active so the internal clock continues
to run and is applied to the counter/timer(s) and interrupt logic.
To enter the Halt Mode, the instruction pipeline must be flushed first to avoid
suspending execution in mid-instruction. To do this, the application program must
PS001301-0800
Z90255 ROM and Z90251 OTP
32 KB Television Controller with OSD
17
execute a NOP instruction (opcode = FFh) immediately before the Halt instruction
(opcode 7Fh), that is,
FF
7F
NOP
Halt
;clear the instruction pipeline
;enter Halt Mode
The Halt Mode is exited by interrupts, generated either externally or internally.
When the interrupt service routine is completed, the user program continues from
the instruction after Halt.
The Halt Mode can also be exited via a POR/Reset activation or a Watch-Dog
Timer (WDT) timeout. In this case, program execution restarts at the reset-restart
address 000Ch.
To reduce power consumption further in the Halt Mode, the Z90255 and Z90251
allow dynamic internal clock scaling. Clock scaling can be accomplished on the fly
by reprogramming bit 0 and/or bit 1 of the Stop-Mode Recovery register (SMR).
Note:
Internal clock scaling directly effects Counter/Timer operation:
adjustment of the prescaler and downcounter values might be
required.
4.2 Stop Mode Operation
The Stop Mode provides the lowest possible device standby current. This
instruction turns off the on-chip oscillator and internal system clock.
To enter the Stop Mode, the instruction pipeline must be flushed first to avoid
suspending execution in mid-instruction. To do this, the application program must
execute a NOP instruction (opcode=FFh) immediately before the Stop instruction
(opcode=6Fh), that is,
FF
6F
NOP
Stop
;clear the instruction pipeline
;enter Stop Mode
The Stop Mode is exited by any one of the following resets: Power-On Reset
activation, WDT timeout, or a Stop-Mode Recovery source. When reset is
generated, the processor always restarts the application program at address
000Ch.
POR/Reset activation is present on the Z90255 and Z90251 and is implemented
as a reset pin and/or an on-chip power on reset circuit.
When the WDT is configured to run during Stop mode, the WDT timeout
generates a Reset ending Stop Mode.
PS001301-0800
Z90255 ROM and Z90251 OTP
32 KB Television Controller with OSD
18
Stop-Mode Recovery (SMR) by the WDT increases the Stop
Mode standby current (ICC2). This is because the internal RC
oscillator is running to support this recovery mode.
Note:
The Z90255 and Z90251 have Stop-Mode Recovery (SMR) circuitry. Two SMR
methods are implemented, a single-fixed input pin or a flexible, programmable set
of inputs. The Z8-base product specification should be reviewed to determine the
SMR options available.
In simple cases, a Low level applied to input pin P27 triggers an SMR. To use this
mode, pin P27 (I/O Port 2, bit 7) must be configured as an input before entering
Stop Mode. The Low level on P27 must meet a minimum pulse width TWSM.
Some microcontrollers provide multiple SMR input sources. The SMR source is
selected via the SMR Register.
Note:
Using specialized SMR modes (P27 input or SMR register
based) or the WDT timeout (only when in the Stop Mode)
provides a unique reset operation. Some control registers are
initialized differently for a SMR/WDT triggered POR than a
standard reset operation.
Note:
The Stop Mode current (ICC2) is minimized when
-
V
is at the low end of the device operating range

All inputs (digital and analog) are at the low or high rail voltages
4.3 STOP Mode Recovery Register
The STOP Mode Recovery Register register selects the clock divide value and
determines the mode of Stop Mode Recovery. All bits are Write-Only, except bit 7
which is Read-Only. Bit 7 is a flag bit that is hardware set in a Stop Mode
Recovery condition, and reset by a power-on cycle. Bit 6 controls whether a Low
level or a High level is required from the recovery source. Bit 5 controls the reset
delay after recovery. Bits 2, 3, and 4, of the SMR register, specify the source of the
Stop-Mode Recovery signal. Bits 0 and 1 control internal clock divider circuitry.
The SMR is located in bank F of the expanded register file at address 0Bh.

control) and/or Halt Mode (where TCLK
sources counter/timers and interrupt logic).

two circuitry. When this bit is 0, the System
Clock (SCLK) and Timer Clock (TCLK) are
equal to the external clock frequency divided by
two. The SCLK/TCLK is equal to the external
clock frequency when this bit is set (D1=1).
Using this bit together with D7 of PCON helps
lower EMI (D7 (PCON) =0, D1 (SMR) =1). The
default setting is zero.
Stop-Mode Recovery Source These three bits specify the wake-up source of

On-Screen Display
The On-Screen Display (OSD) module generates and displays a 10 row by 24
columns of 512 characters at 14 x 18-dots resolution. The color of each character
can be specified independently.
The televison OSD controller uses H
and V
signals to synchronize its
SYNC
SYNC
internal circuitry to the video signal, then outputs RGB and Video Blank (VBLANK)
signals. The VBLANKsignal is used to multiplex the OSD signal and video signal
onto the screen. The result is that the On-Screen Display is superimposed over
the TV picture.
The display results from the successful timing of several components:

Figures 9 is an example of second color display in the eighth row of the OSD.
Each of the small grid squares represents one pixel. Each column has two areas
for second color display. In this example, the second color is at Position 6. The
second color position for the first column has a value of 3 because the OSD is
offset from the left of the TV screen at a distance equal to 03h. Each column is
the size of one display character. Each Second color column is a half character
column. The screen position offset is added to Second color position. Because
the offset is 03h, the Second color postions begin with 3 = (3+0), 4 = (3+1), 5 =
(4+1), and so forth.

5.3 Mesh and Halftone Effect
Mesh is a grid-like area that contains an alternating pixel display of OSD and
transparent zones. See Figure 10. The transparent zones allow the TV signal
display to appear in part while the mesh display is active.
Halftone effect is a transparent area that appears slightly darker than the regular
picture carried by the TV signal.
Mesh and halftone effects both serve as backgrounds for menus, action bars, and
other On-Screen Displays. The mesh feature is only for interlaced-mode video
systems.
Mesh can be controlled in two ways: through hardware or through software for
alternating pixel display in different fields.

Bit 2, Software Field Number/Polarity of Halftone Output, has several possible
values. The value of this bit remains the same for the entire mesh window; it does
not change from row to row.
If bit 3is set to 1(halftone), bit 2defines the polarity of halftone output. If bit 3is
reset to 0and bit 1is set to 1, then bit 2defines the field number (even or odd).
Bit 1, Software Mesh, defines whether hardware or software sets the current field
number. When the value equals 0, hardware defines field number. When the
value equals 1, software defines the field number.
Bit 0, Mesh Enable, disables or enables using mesh. This field is used in
conjunction with MR_EN (0). The value of Mesh Enable is changed only when
Mesh Window Row equals 0(the current OSDrow is not part of a mesh window). If
the value is changed when the current row is part of the mesh window, partial or
missing characters are likely to be displayed.

Figure 12 Character Pixel map in CGROM
Figure 12 is an example of a 512 character set where the character pixel map
represents the first and last characters. It is 14 pixels horizontal and 18 pixels
vertical. Each row in the map is 7 bits long, half the width of the character scan
line.
Even numbered rows in the map correspond to pixels on the left half of the
character scan line; odd rows in the map correspond to pixels on the right half of
the character scan line.

The Hex Add column is a hexadecimal number that serves as an address for the
group of pixels from the starting point of the scan line. Addressing begins at
0000hand ends at 0023h for the first character. There is an address gap
between characters. The starting address for the second character is 0040h.
Each bit in the map sets the foreground/background designation of the
corresponding pixel:
0background pixel
1foreground pixel
The patterns formed by the bits comprise the characters that are displayed when
the scan line is output to the screen.
Each of these character pixel maps is one character; 512 characters can be
mapped.
Several characters can be combined to form a large icon. Figures 13 is an
example of a large icon. Each block marked by the darker grid lines is 14 x 18
pixels, one character.

5.7 Character Size and Smoothing Effect
The Z90255 supports four character sizes: 1X, 2X, double width, and double
height. The 2X size duplicates each pixel horizontally and vertically to reach
double size. Figure 14 shows a character at 1X, 2X without smoothing, and 2X
with smoothing.
Smoothing means enhancing a character to improve its appearance. This effect
can be applied to 2X and double width characters, and is enabled and disabled in
DISP_ATTR: 03h: Bank A (4).
Check the effect of smoothing on 2X and double width characters before finalizing
OSDprogramming.

5.8 Fringing Effect
Fringing means surrounding a character with a different color than the foreground
and background colors. Refer back to Figure 8. Fringing adds visual appeal to the
character presentation.
The fringing effect is enabled or disabled in DISP_ATTR: 03h: Bank A (5).
The fringing color is set in INT_ST: 07h: Bank C (7) to either 0, the
character background color, or to 1, a RGB color specified in INT_ST: 07h:
Bank C (6,5,4).The eight RGB colors available for fringing and background
are defined in Table 21.
The fringing feature is NOT available in Progressive Mode.

5.9 Display Attribute Control
Display Attribute Control determines screen display characteristics for the entire
screen, not just the OSDarea. The background that covers the entire screen is
called the Master Background. Its color setting can be used to generate a blue
screen when the TV signal is not present. Table 22 shows the Display Attribute
Register.

Bit 7, Display Enable, disables or enables using foreground and background
color, and therefore character display. When this bit is set to 0, effective space
characters are sourced from the video RAM. Background On/Off and row
background color are programmed independently. When bit 7is set to 1, the
actual video RAM characters are displayed.
Bit 6, Master Background Enable, disables or enables using a background color
for the entire screen instead of the broadcast signal. If this bit is set to 1, the
incoming video signal blanks and the screen background displays color according
to the background color bits. The color is specified in bits 2,1,0. If bit 6is set to
0, the incoming video signal is displayed.

Bit 5, Fringe Enable, sets the fringe effect ON or OFF.
Bit 4, Smoothing Effect Enable, sets smoothing ON or OFF, and is available for
2X and double width characters.
Bit 3, RGB Polarity, sets color polarity of OSDcolor output signals to positive or
negative.
Bits 2,1,and 0form the color for the master background. The eight possible
colors are the same ones listed in Table 21.
Video Refresh RAM Access
The Z90255 supports 12-bit character data. Nine bits, P8and P7 through P0,
contain character code. Three additional bits, C2through C0, contain color palette
information. See Figures 15.
Color Palette Selection bits serve as a 3-bit Color Index to the color palette look-
up table. When software writes Character Byte data (7-0) into VRAM, it also
takes the data in the color index register and writes the corresponding Color
Palette Selection Bits (10-8) and the most significant bit of character data (P8).
When updating 3-bit color index data, the most significant bit of the character data
must also be updated. Table 20 contains VRAM structure and memory mapping.

5.10 HV Interrupt Processing
An interrupt is issued at the beginning of a row and at the leading edge of the
signal. The leading edge of the first H of a row constitutes the
V
SYNC
SYNC
beginning of a row. The Z90255 software tracks this cycle as two recurring events,
the Horizontal (H ) Interrupt and the Vertical (V ) Interrupt.
SYNC
SYNC
A V
interrupt marks the time for displaying a new field of a TV frame.
SYNC
Displaying subsequent rows coincides with the issuance of the H
interrupt.
SYNC
The interrupts mark the time when displaying a row or start of a field is to occur.
Each text row is comprised of 18 scan lines. Each scan line takes 63.5 µs to be
displayed. So, 1143 µs is the amount of time available to change programming for
the next row. Double-size and double-height characters span 36 scan lines,
PS001301-0800
Z90255 ROM and Z90251 OTP
32 KB Television Controller with OSD
50
allowing 2286 µs to program the next row. Additional programming time is
available with inter-row spacing. VRAMis updated during that time.
If the program has too much to display, black lines appear at the top of the screen.
The HV Interrupt Status Register (Table 34) keeps track of the type of interrupt
issued, horizontal or vertical.

Bit 7, Fringe Color Selection, sets the fringe color to the background color or to a
Red, Green, and Blue color specified in bits 6,5,4.
Bit 3, Palette Mode, sets color to Normal or VRAM Mode. When the value is 0
(Normal Mode), the color attribute of a row is controlled by values in the
ROW_ATTRregister which is mapped in VRAM, but the Color Palette Selection Bits

are ignored. When the Palette Mode value is 1, the Color Palette Selection Bits
are used, unless they are set to 0s. In that case, the values in the ROW_ATTR
register are used.
Bit 2, Horizontal Interrupt Enable, disables or enables the horizontal (H
)
SYNC
interrupt.
Bit 1, Vertical Interrupt, has different meanings depending on its Read and Write
status. In Read State, a value of 0indicates that a vertical interrupt was not
issued; a value of 1indicates that a vertical interrupt was issued. In Write State, a
value of 0has no effect; a value of 1resets the vertical interrupt flag.
Bit 0, Horizontal Interrupt, has different meanings depending on its status. In
Read State, a value of 0indicates that a horizontal interrupt was not issued; a
value of 1indicates that a horizontal interrupt was issued. In Write State, a value
of 0has no effect; a value of 1resets the horizontal interrupt flag.
When an interrupt is issued while another interrupt is processing, the last-issued
interrupt is pended. The interrupt-flag bit which is in service (the interrupt issued
first) must be cleared or serviced before the pended interrupt can be processed
(see SNDCLR(6)).

Z90255 I2C Master Interface
2
The Z90255 has a hardware module which supports the I C Master interface. Bus
arbitration and MastersÕ arbitration logic is NOT implemented; in other words, the
Z90255 is designed for a Single Master application.
2
The I C interface can be configured to run at four different transfer speeds defined
2
2
by bits (1,0) in the I C Control Register (I C_CNTL: 0Ch, Bank:C).
To circumvent possible problems on both DATA and SCLK lines, digital filters with
2
time constant equal to 3T
are implemented on all inputs of the I C bus
sclk
2
2
interface. The Z90255 has two separate I C busses which share the same I C
state machine.
2
The I C module is enabled by setting bit (2) in the I2C_CNTL register to 1(see
2
2
Figure 17). This bit blocks out I C logic if it is set to 0. To prevent switching the I C
2
bus during activation, bits (7,6) of the Port 2 Data Register for I C selection 1 (bits
2
2
(5,4) of Port 2 Data Register for I C selection 0) should be set to 1 before the I C
module is enabled.
2
2

2
When the I C module is enabled, pins used as I C must be
Notes:
configured as output in the Port 2Mode Register (P2M:
F6h). If P27/P26or P25/P24are used as I C pins, then
these pins are automatically set to open-drain mode.
2
Port 2 must be configured in standard drive mode (PCON:
00h: Bank F) when the I C interface is active.

Infrared Interface
The Z90255 supports the Infrared (IR) Remote Control interface with a minimum
of software overhead.
Two bytes of data are received through the Infrared (IR) Interface. The lower
byte, bits 7-0, is stored in IR Capture Register 0. The upper byte, bits 15-8, is
stored in IR Capture Register 1.
When an IRinterrupt occurs, the IRcapture registers contain the amount of time
passed from the previous IRinterrupt if bit 0in the TCR0 is set to 0. If bit 0is set
to 1, the IRcapture registers contain the amount of time passed from the last
overflow of the IRcapture counter. The IRinterrupt flags are reset by the IR
interrupt service routine software. Refer to Table 50 through Table 53.
Timer Control Register 0
Rising edge (falling edge) interrupt is preserved even when a falling edge (rising
edge) interrupt occurs. But it is overridden by a second rising edge (falling edge) if
the second one occurs before the first rising edge (falling edge) is serviced.
Preservation of the interrupt means that it generates the hardware interrupt after
the first interrupt is serviced when two different (rising edge/falling edge) interrupts
are already ON.

Bit 6resets the IR Capture Timer. To stop the timer, set this bit to 1. To start the
timer, set the bit to 0.
Bits 5and 4set the IR Capture Edge. The rising edge, the falling edge, or both
edges of an input signal can be used as the source of IR interrupts. If both edges
are set as interrupt sources, Timer Control Register 0 (TCR0: 01h: Bank C)
must be read and checked by the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) in order to
identify which edge was captured.
Bits 3and 2contain a time constant used in a digital filter to process the IR
Capture module in order to prevent errors.
Bits 1and 0set the IR Capture Counter to one of four different speeds.
The IRcapture counter is driven by the clock generated by dividing the system
clock in the Z90255.

Pulse Width Modulators
The Z90255 has 11 Pulse Width Modulator channels. PWM1through PWM10have
6-bit resolution and are typically used for audio and video level control. PWM11has
14-bit resolution and is typically used for voltage synthesis tuning. PWM11 uses
two registers to accommodate its 14-bit resolution. PWM6 can be configured as
either 14-bit or 6-bit.
9.1 PWM Mode Register
PWM Mode Register (Table 54) controls the setting of multiplexed pins 1-7. These
pins can be configured to function as PWM output ports or regular output ports. If
a bit is reset to 0, the pin outputs the PWM signal. If a bit is set to 1, the pin is a
regular output port.

9.2 PWM1 through PWM11
Two data registers (PWM11Hand PWM11L)hold the 14-bit PWM11ratio. If PWM6
is configured to 14-bit, two data registers (PWM6H and PWM6L) hold the 14-bit
PWM6 ratio. The upper 7 bits control the width of the distributed pulse. The lower
7 bits distribute the minimum resolution pulse in the various time slots. Using this
technique, the pseudo-repetition of frequency is raised up to 128 times faster than
ordinary pulse width modulation.
There are 128 time slots which start from time slot 7Fhto 0hbecause a 14-bit
binary down counter is used. When the glitch exceeds 127 pulses, the upper 7
bits take precedence and fill 128 pulses of the same width in different locations.
Generating the pulse-train output requires the following equation: Time slot (Fts)
and one cycle of frequency (F14).
Fdp (Distribution pulse frequency)=XTAL/128 (Hz)
Fts (Time slot frequency) = XTAL/128 (Hz)
F14 (a cycle/frequency) = XTAL /16384 (Hz)
When the 6-bit data is 00h, the PWMoutput is Low. The maximum value is 3Fh
and emits High DC-level output.
A selected PWMcycle/frequency is shown in the following equation:
F6 (a cycle/frequency) = XTAL/16/64 (Hz)

9.3 Digital/Analog Conversion with PWM
The televison OSD controller can generate square waves which have fixed
periods but variable duty cycles. If this type of signal passes through an RC
integrator, the output is a DC voltage proportional to the pulse width of the square
wave. Refer to Figure 20, Cases A and B show fixed voltage samples while Case
C shows a varying voltage example.

10 Analog-to-Digital Converter
The Z90255 is equipped with a 4-bit flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that
can be used as either three or four bit configurations. There are four multiplexed
analog-input channels. There are two register addresses, one for 3-bit (Table 70)
ADC (3ADC_DTA: 00h: Bank C), and one for 4-bit (Table 71)
ADC (4ADC_DTA: 01h: Bank F). Because no default is set, system software
must configure the control register for the preferred ADC.
Converted 3-bit data is available as bits 0, 1, and 2 of the 3-bit ADC data register.
Converted 4-bit data is available as bits 0, 1, 2, and 3 of the 4-bit ADC data
register.
Figure 21 illustrates four input pins (P60/ADC3, P61/ADC2, P41/ADC1, and
P62/ADC0)which function as analog-input channels and as digital I/O ports. To
support the analog function, the digital ports must be configured as analog
through software. Analog/digital selection is controlled by bits 4 and 3 of the 3-bit
ADC Data Register, and by bits 5 and 4 of 4-bit ADC Data Register.
•
If ADC Input Selection equals 00, ADC0is selected; this value is the default
following POR.
•
•
•
If ADC Input Selection equals 01, ADC1is selected.
If ADC Input Selection equals 10, ADC2is selected.
If ADC Input Selection equals 11, ADC3is selected.
Sampling occurs at one-eighth of an ADC-clock tick. One ADC-clock tick equals
one-half, one-third, or one-quarter of a system-clock (SCLK)tick, as set by
3ADC_DTA(6,5)for 3-bit or 4ADC_DTA (7,6)for 4-bit. If ADC speed bits are
set to 00,the ADC is not operative; this is the default value following POR. If these
bits equal 01, ADC speed is based on one-half of a system-clock tick, SCLK/2. If
these bits equal 10, ADC speed is based on one-third of a system-clock tick,
SCLK/3. If these bits equal 11, ADC speed is based on one-quarter of a system-
clock tick, SCLK/4.
