With on-chip Power-On Reset, VDD monitor, Watchdog Timer, and clock oscillator, the C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5
devices are truly stand-alone System-on-a-Chip solutions. The FLASH memory can be reprogrammed even in-cir-
cuit, providing non-volatile data storage, and also allowing field upgrades of the 8051 firmware. User software has
complete control of all peripherals, and may individually shut down any or all peripherals for power savings.
The on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) Development Interface allows non-intrusive (uses no on-chip resources), full
speed, in-circuit debugging using the production MCU installed in the final application. This debug logic supports
inspection and modification of memory and registers, setting breakpoints, single stepping, run and halt commands.
All analog and digital peripherals are fully functional while debugging using C2. The two C2 interface pins can be
shared with user functions, allowing in-system debugging without occupying package pins.
Each device is specified for 2.7 V-to-3.6 V operation over the industrial temperature range (-45°C to +85°C). The
Port I/O and /RST pins are tolerant of input signals up to 5 V. The C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 are available in the 11-pin
MLP package shown in Figure 4.2.

1.1. CIP-51™ Microcontroller Core
1.1.1. Fully 8051 Compatible
The C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 family utilizes Silicon Labs' proprietary CIP-51 microcontroller core. The CIP-51 is fully
compatible with the MCS-51™ instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop
software. The CIP-51 core offers all the peripherals included with a standard 8052, including two standard 16-bit
counter/timers, one enhanced 16-bit counter/timer with external oscillator input, a full-duplex UART with extended
baud rate configuration, 256 bytes of internal RAM, 128 byte Special Function Register (SFR) address space, and a
byte-wide I/O Port.
1.1.2. Improved Throughput
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the standard 8051
architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system clock cycles to exe-
cute with a maximum system clock of 12-to-24 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51 core executes 70% of its instructions in
one or two system clock cycles, with only four instructions taking more than four system clock cycles.
The CIP-51 has a total of 109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instrutions that require each
execution time.
With the CIP-51's maximum system clock at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS. Figure 1.3 shows a com-
parison of peak throughputs for various 8-bit microcontroller cores with their maximum system clocks.

1.1.3. Additional Features
The C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 SoC family includes several key enhancements to the CIP-51 core and peripherals to
improve performance and ease of use in end applications.
The extended interrupt handler provides 12 interrupt sources into the CIP-51 (as opposed to 7 for the standard 8051),
allowing numerous analog and digital peripherals to interrupt the controller. An interrupt driven system requires less
intervention by the MCU, giving it more effective throughput. The extra interrupt sources are very useful when build-
ing multi-tasking, real-time systems.
Eight reset sources are available: power-on reset circuitry (POR), an on-chip VDD monitor (forces reset when power
supply voltage drops below 2.7 V), a Watchdog Timer, a Missing Clock Detector, a voltage level detection from
Comparator0, a forced software reset, an external reset pin, and an illegal FLASH read/write protection circuit. Each
reset source except for the POR, Reset Input Pin, or FLASH protection may be disabled by the user in software. The
WDT may be permanently enabled in software after a power-on reset during MCU initialization.
The internal oscillator is available as a factory calibrated 24.5 MHz ±2% (C8051F300/1 devices); an uncalibrated
version is available on C8051F302/3/4/5 devices. On all C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices, the internal oscillator period
may be user programmed in ~0.5% increments. An external oscillator drive circuit is also included, allowing an
external crystal, ceramic resonator, capacitor, RC, or CMOS clock source to generate the system clock. If desired, the
system clock source may be switched on-the-fly to the external oscillator circuit. An external oscillator can be
extremely useful in low power applications, allowing the MCU to run from a slow (power saving) external crystal
source, while periodically switching to the fast (up to 25 MHz) internal oscillator as needed.

1.2. On-Chip Memory
The CIP-51 has a standard 8051 program and data address configuration. It includes 256 bytes of data RAM, with the
upper 128 bytes dual-mapped. Indirect addressing accesses the upper 128 bytes of general purpose RAM, and direct
addressing accesses the 128 byte SFR address space. The lower 128 bytes of RAM are accessible via direct and indi-
rect addressing. The first 32 bytes are addressable as four banks of general purpose registers, and the next 16 bytes
can be byte addressable or bit addressable.
The C8051F300/1/2/3 includes 8k bytes of FLASH program memory (the C8051F304 includes 4k bytes; the
C8051F305 includes 2k bytes). This memory may be reprogrammed in-system in 512 byte sectors, and requires no
special off-chip programming voltage. See Figure 1.5 for the C8051F300/1/2/3 system memory map.

1.3. On-Chip Debug Circuitry
The C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug circuitry that provides non-intru-
sive, full speed, in-circuit debugging of the production part installed in the end application.
Silicon Labs' debugging system supports inspection and modification of memory and registers, breakpoints, and sin-
gle stepping. No additional target RAM, program memory, timers, or communications channels are required. All the
digital and analog peripherals are functional and work correctly while debugging. All the peripherals (except for the
ADC and SMBus) are stalled when the MCU is halted, during single stepping, or at a breakpoint in order to keep
them synchronized.
The C8051F300DK development kit provides all the hardware and software necessary to develop application code
and perform in-circuit debugging with the C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 MCUs. The kit includes software with a developer's
studio and debugger, an integrated 8051 assembler, and an RS-232 to C2 serial adapter. It also has a target application
board with the associated MCU installed and large prototyping area, plus the RS-232 and C2 cables, and wall-mount
power supply. The Development Kit requires a Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000 computer with one available RS-232
serial port. As shown in Figure 1.6, the PC is connected via RS-232 to the Serial Adapter. A six-inch ribbon cable
connects the Serial Adapter to the user's application board, picking up the two C2 pins and VDD and GND. The
Serial Adapter takes its power from the application board; it requires roughly 20 mA at 2.7-3.6V. For applications
where there is not sufficient power available from the target board, the provided power supply can be connected
directly to the Serial Adapter.
The Silicon Labs IDE interface is a vastly superior developing and debugging configuration, compared to standard
MCU emulators that use on-board "ICE Chips" and require the MCU in the application board to be socketed. Silicon
Labs' debug paradigm increases ease of use and preserves the performance of the precision analog peripherals.

1.4. Programmable Digital I/O and Crossbar
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include a byte-wide I/O Port that behaves like a typical 8051 Port with a few enhance-
ments. Each Port pin may be configured as an analog input or a digital I/O pin. Pins selected as digital I/Os may addi-
tionally be configured for push-pull or open-drain output. The “weak pull-ups” that are fixed on typical 8051 devices
may be globally disabled, providing power savings capabilities.
Perhaps the most unique Port I/O enhancement is the Digital Crossbar. This is essentially a digital switching network
that allows mapping of internal digital system resources to Port I/O pins (See Figure 1.7). On-chip counter/timers,
serial buses, HW interrupts, comparator output, and other digital signals in the controller can be configured to appear
on the Port I/O pins specified in the Crossbar Control registers. This allows the user to select the exact mix of general
purpose Port I/O and digital resources needed for the particular application.
1.5. Serial Ports
The C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 Family includes an SMBus/I2C interface and a full-duplex UART with enhanced baud rate
configuration. Each of the serial buses is fully implemented in hardware and makes extensive use of the CIP-51's
interrupts, thus requiring very little CPU intervention.

1.6. Programmable Counter Array
An on-chip Programmable Counter/Timer Array (PCA) is included in addition to the three 16-bit general purpose
counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer time base with three programmable cap-
ture/compare modules. The PCA clock is derived from one of six sources: the system clock divided by 12, the system
clock divided by 4, Timer 0 overflows, an External Clock Input (ECI), the system clock, or the external oscillator
clock source divided by 8. The external clock source selection is useful for real-time clock functionality, where the
PCA is clocked by an external source while the internal oscillator drives the system clock.
Each capture/compare module can be configured to operate in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software
Timer, High Speed Output, 8- or 16-bit Pulse Width Modulator, or Frequency Output. Additionally, Capture/Compare
Module 2 offers watchdog timer (WDT) capabilities. Following a system reset, Module 2 is configured and enabled
in WDT mode. The PCA Capture/Compare Module I/O and External Clock Input may be routed to Port I/O via the
Digital Crossbar.

1.7. 8-Bit Analog to Digital Converter (C8051F300/2 Only)
The C8051F300/2 includes an on-chip 8-bit SAR ADC with a 10-channel differential input multiplexer and program-
mable gain amplifier. With a maximum throughput of 500 ksps, the ADC offers true 8-bit accuracy with an INL of
±1LSB. The ADC system includes a configurable analog multiplexer that selects both positive and negative ADC
inputs. Each Port pin is available as an ADC input; additionally, the on-chip Temperature Sensor output and the
power supply voltage (VDD) are available as ADC inputs. User firmware may shut down the ADC to save power.
The integrated programmable gain amplifier (PGA) amplifies the the ADC input by 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 as defined by user
software. The gain stage is especially useful when different ADC input channels have widely varied input voltage
signals, or when it is necessary to "zoom in" on a signal with a large DC offset.
Conversions can be started in five ways: a software command, an overflow of Timer 0, 1, or 2, or an external convert
start signal. This flexibility allows the start of conversion to be triggered by software events, a periodic signal (timer
overflows), or external HW signals. Conversion completions are indicated by a status bit and an interrupt (if enabled).
The resulting 8-bit data word is latched into an SFR upon completion of a conversion.
Window compare registers for the ADC data can be configured to interrupt the controller when ADC data is either
within or outside of a specified range. The ADC can monitor a key voltage continuously in background mode, but not
interrupt the controller unless the converted data is within/outside the specified range.

1.8. Comparator
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include an on-chip voltage comparator that is enabled/disabled and configured via user
software. All Port I/O pins may be configurated as comparator inputs. Two comparator outputs may be routed to a
Port pin if desired: a latched output and/or an unlatched (asynchronous) output. Comparator response time is pro-
grammable, allowing the user to select between high-speed and low-power modes. Positive and negative hysteresis is
also configurable.
Comparator interrupts may be generated on rising, falling, or both edges. When in IDLE mode, these interrupts may
be used as a “wake-up” source. The comparator may also be configured as a reset source.

5. ADC0 (8-BIT ADC, C8051F300/2)
The ADC0 subsystem for the C8051F300/2 consists of two analog multiplexers (referred to collectively as AMUX0)
with 11 total input selections, a differential programmable gain amplifier (PGA), and a 500 ksps, 8-bit successive-
approximation-register ADC with integrated track-and-hold and programmable window detector (see block diagram
in Figure 5.1). The AMUX0, PGA, data conversion modes, and window detector are all configurable under software
control via the Special Function Registers shown in Figure 5.1. ADC0 operates in both Single-ended and Differential
modes, and may be configured to measure any Port pin, the Temperature Sensor output, or VDD with respect to any
Port pin or GND. The ADC0 subsystem is enabled only when the AD0EN bit in the ADC0 Control register
(ADC0CN) is set to logic 1. The ADC0 subsystem is in low power shutdown when this bit is logic 0.

5.1. Analog Multiplexer and PGA
The analog multiplexers (AMUX0) select the positive and negative inputs to the PGA, allowing any Port pin to be
measured relative to any other Port pin or GND. Additionally, the on-chip temperature sensor or the positive power
supply (VDD) may be selected as the positive PGA input. When GND is selected as the negative input, ADC0
operates in Single-ended Mode; all other times, ADC0 operates in Differential Mode. The ADC0 input channels
are selected in the AMX0SL register as described in Figure 5.6.
The conversion code format differs in Single-ended versus Differential modes, as shown below. When in Single-
ended Mode (negative input is selected GND), conversion codes are represented as 8-bit unsigned integers. Inputs are
measured from ‘0’ to VREF * 255/256. Example codes are shown below.
When in Differential Mode (negative input is not selected as GND), conversion codes are represented as 8-bit signed
2’s complement numbers. Inputs are measured from -VREF to VREF * 127/128. Example codes are shown below.
Important Note About ADC0 Input Configuration: Port pins selected as ADC0 inputs should be configured as
analog inputs and should be skipped by the Digital Crossbar. To configure a Port pin for analog input, set to ‘0’ the
corresponding bit in register P0MDIN. To force the Crossbar to skip a Port pin, set to ‘1’ the corresponding bit in reg-
ister XBR0. See Section “12. Port Input/Output” on page 95 for more Port I/O configuration details.
The PGA amplifies the AMUX0 output signal as defined by the AMP0GN1-0 bits in the ADC0 Configuration regis-
ter (Figure 5.7). The PGA is software-programmable for gains of 0.5, 1, 2, or 4. The gain defaults to 0.5 on reset.

5.2. Temperature Sensor
The typical temperature sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 5.2. The output voltage (VTEMP) is the positive
PGA input when the temperature sensor is selected by bits AMX0P2-0 in register AMX0SL; this voltage will be
amplified by the PGA according to the user-programmed PGA settings.
The uncalibrated temperature sensor output is extremely linear and suitable for relative temperature measurements
(see Table 5.1 for linearity specifications). For absolute temperature measurements, gain and/or offset calibration is
recommended. Typically a 1-point calibration includes the following steps:
Step 1. Control/measure the ambient temperature (this temperature must be known).
Step 2. Power the device, and delay for a few seconds to allow for self-heating.
Step 3. Perform an ADC conversion with the temperature sensor selected as the positive input and GND
selected as the negative input.
Step 4. Calculate the offset and/or gain characteristics, and store these values in non-volatile memory for
use with subsequent temperature sensor measurements.
Figure 5.3 shows the typical temperature sensor error assuming a 1-point calibration at 25 °C. Note that parameters
which affect ADC measurement, in particular the voltage reference value, will also affect temperature mea-
surement.

5.3. Modes of Operation
ADC0 has a maximum conversion speed of 500 ksps. The ADC0 conversion clock is a divided version of the system
clock, determined by the AD0SC bits in the ADC0CF register (system clock divided by (AD0SC + 1) for
0 ≤ AD0SC ≤ 31).
5.3.1. Starting a Conversion
A conversion can be initiated in one of five ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC0 Start of Conver-
sion Mode bits (AD0CM2-0) in register ADC0CN. Conversions may be initiated by one of the following:
1. Writing a ‘1’ to the AD0BUSY bit of register ADC0CN
2. A Timer 0 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions)
3. A Timer 2 overflow
4. A Timer 1 overflow
5. A rising edge on the CNVSTR input signal (pin P0.6)
Writing a ‘1’ to AD0BUSY provides software control of ADC0 whereby conversions are performed "on-demand".
During conversion, the AD0BUSY bit is set to logic 1 and reset to logic 0 when the conversion is complete. The fall-
ing edge of AD0BUSY triggers an interrupt (when enabled) and sets the ADC0 interrupt flag (AD0INT). Note: When
polling for ADC conversion completions, the ADC0 interrupt flag (AD0INT) should be used. Converted data is avail-
able in the ADC0 data register, ADC0, when bit AD0INT is logic 1. Note that when Timer 2 overflows are used as
the conversion source, Timer 2 Low Byte overflows are used if Timer 2 is in 8-bit mode; Timer 2 High byte over-
flows are used if Timer 2 is in 16-bit mode. See Section “15. Timers” on page 133 for timer configuration.
Important Note About Using CNVSTR: The CNVSTR input pin also functions as Port pin P0.6. When the
CNVSTR input is used as the ADC0 conversion source, Port pin P0.6 should be skipped by the Digital Crossbar. To
configure the Crossbar to skip P0.6, set to ‘1’ Bit6 in register XBR0. See Section “12. Port Input/Output” on
page 95 for details on Port I/O configuration.
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5
36 Rev. 2.3
5.3.2. Tracking Modes
The AD0TM bit in register ADC0CN controls the ADC0 track-and-hold mode. In its default state, the ADC0 input is
continuously tracked except when a conversion is in progress. When the AD0TM bit is logic 1, ADC0 operates in
low-power track-and-hold mode. In this mode, each conversion is preceded by a tracking period of 3 SAR clocks
(after the start-of-conversion signal). When the CNVSTR signal is used to initiate conversions in low-power tracking
mode, ADC0 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins on the rising edge of CNVSTR (see Figure 5.4).
Tracking can also be disabled (shutdown) when the device is in low power standby or sleep modes. Low-power track-
and-hold mode is also useful when AMUX or PGA settings are frequently changed, due to the settling time require-
ments described in Section “5.3.3. Settling Time Requirements” on page 37.

5.3.3. Settling Time Requirements
When the ADC0 input configuration is changed (i.e., a different AMUX0 or PGA selection is made), a minimum
tracking time is required before an accurate conversion can be performed. This tracking time is determined by the
AMUX0 resistance, the ADC0 sampling capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required for
the conversion. Note that in low-power tracking mode, three SAR clocks are used for tracking at the start of every
conversion. For most applications, these three SAR clocks will meet the minimum tracking time requirements.
Figure 5.5 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuits for both Differential and Single-ended modes. Notice that the
equivalent time constant for both input circuits is the same. The required ADC0 settling time for a given settling
accuracy (SA) may be approximated by Equation 5.1. When measuring the Temperature Sensor output or VDD with
respect to GND, RTOTAL reduces to RMUX. See Table 5.1 for ADC0 minimum settling time (track/hold time) require-
ments.
Where:
SA is the settling accuracy, given as a fraction of an LSB (for example, 0.25 to settle within 1/4 LSB)
t is the required settling time in seconds
RTOTAL is the sum of the AMUX0 resistance and any external source resistance.
n is the ADC resolution in bits (8).

5.4. Programmable Window Detector
The ADC Programmable Window Detector continuously compares the ADC0 output to user-programmed limits, and
notifies the system when a desired condition is detected. This is especially effective in an interrupt-driven system,
saving code space and CPU bandwidth while delivering faster system response times. The window detector interrupt
flag (AD0WINT in register ADC0CN) can also be used in polled mode. The ADC0 Greater-Than (ADC0GT) and
Less-Than (ADC0LT) registers hold the comparison values. Example comparisons for Single-ended and Differential
modes are shown in Figure 5.10 and Figure 5.11, respectively. Notice that the window detector flag can be pro-
grammed to indicate when measured data is inside or outside of the user-programmed limits depending on the con-
tents of the ADC0LT and ADC0GT registers.
5.4.1. Window Detector In Single-Ended Mode
Figure 5.10 shows two example window comparisons for Single-ended mode, with ADC0LT = 0x20 and
ADC0GT = 0x10. Notice that in Single-ended mode, the codes vary from 0 to VREF*(255/256) and are represented
as 8-bit unsigned integers. In the left example, an AD0WINT interrupt will be generated if the ADC0 conversion
word (ADC0) is within the range defined by ADC0GT and ADC0LT (if 0x10 < ADC0 < 0x20). In the right example,
and AD0WINT interrupt will be generated if ADC0 is outside of the range defined by ADC0GT and ADC0LT
(if ADC0 < 0x10 or ADC0 > 0x20).

the ADC0 conversion word (ADC0L) is within the range defined by ADC0GT and ADC0LT (if 0xFF (-1d) < ADC0
< 0x10 (16d)). In the right example, an AD0WINT interrupt will be generated if ADC0 is outside of the range defined

6. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (C8051F300/2)
The voltage reference MUX on C8051F300/2 devices is configurable to use an externally connected voltage refer-
ence or the power supply voltage, VDD (see Figure 6.1). The REFSL bit in the Reference Control register (REF0CN)
selects the reference source. For an external source, REFSL should be set to ‘0’; For VDD as the reference source,
REFSL should be set to ‘1’.
The BIASE bit enables the internal voltage bias generator, which is used by the ADC, Temperature Sensor, and Inter-
nal Oscillator. This bit is forced to logic 1 when any of the aforementioned peripherals is enabled. The bias generator
may be enabled manually by writing a ‘1’ to the BIASE bit in register REF0CN; see Figure 6.2 for REF0CN register
details. The electrical specifications for the voltage reference circuit are given in Table 6.1.
Important Note About the VREF Input: Port pin P0.0 is used as the external VREF input. When using an external
voltage reference, P0.0 should be configured as analog input and skipped by the Digital Crossbar. To configure P0.0
as analog input, set to ‘1’ Bit0 in register P0MDIN. To configure the Crossbar to skip P0.0, set to ‘1’ Bit0 in register
XBR0. Refer to Section “12. Port Input/Output” on page 95 for complete Port I/O configuration details. The exter-
nal reference voltage must be within the range 0 ≤ VREF ≤ VDD.
On C8051F300/2 devices, the temperature sensor connects to the highest order input of the ADC0 positive input mul-
tiplexer (see Section “5.1. Analog Multiplexer and PGA” on page 32 for details). The TEMPE bit in register
REF0CN enables/disables the temperature sensor. While disabled, the temperature sensor defaults to a high imped-
ance state and any ADC0 measurements performed on the sensor result in meaningless data.

7. COMPARATOR0
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include an on-chip programmable voltage comparator, which is shown in Figure 7.1.
Comparator0 offers programmable response time and hysteresis, an analog input multiplexer, and two outputs that are
optionally available at the Port pins: a synchronous “latched” output (CP0), or an asynchronous “raw” output
(CP0A). The asynchronous CP0A signal is available even when the system clock is not active. This allows
Comparator0 to operate and generate an output with the device in STOP mode. When assigned to a Port pin, the
Comparator0 output may be configured as open drain or push-pull (see Section “12.2. Port I/O Initialization” on
page 98). Comparator0 may also be used as a reset source (see Section “9.5. Comparator0 Reset” on page 79).
The inputs for Comparator0 are selected in the CPT0MX register (Figure 7.4). The CMX0P1-CMX0P0 bits select the
Comparator0 positive input; the CMX0N1-CMX0N0 bits select the Comparator0 negative input.
Important Note About Comparator Inputs: The Port pins selected as comparator inputs should be configured as
analog inputs in their associated Port configuration register, and configured to be skipped by the Crossbar (for details
on Port configuration, see Section “12.3. General Purpose Port I/O” on page 101).

The output of Comparator0 can be polled in software, used as an interrupt source, and/or routed to a Port pin. When
routed to a Port pin, the Comparator0 output is available asynchronous or synchronous to the system clock; the asyn-
chronous output is available even in STOP mode (with no system clock active). When disabled, the Comparator0 out-
put (if assigned to a Port I/O pin via the Crossbar) defaults to the logic low state, and its supply current falls to less
than 100 nA. See Section “12.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 96 for details on configuring the
Comparator0 output via the digital Crossbar. Comparator0 inputs can be externally driven from -0.25 V to
(VDD) + 0.25 V without damage or upset. The complete electrical specifications for Comparator0 are given in
Table 7.1.
The Comparator0 response time may be configured in software via the CP0MD1-0 bits in register CPT0MD (see
Figure 7.5). Selecting a longer response time reduces the amount of power consumed by Comparator0. See Table 7.1
for complete timing and power consumption specifications.
The hysteresis of Comparator0 is software-programmable via its Comparator0 Control register (CPT0CN). The user
can program both the amount of hysteresis voltage (referred to the input voltage) and the positive and negative-going
symmetry of this hysteresis around the threshold voltage.
The Comparator0 hysteresis is programmed using Bits3-0 in the Comparator0 Control Register CPT0CN (shown in
Figure 7.3). The amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CP0HYN bits. As shown
in Figure 7.2, settings of 20, 10 or 5 mV of negative hysteresis can be programmed, or negative hysteresis can be dis-
abled. In a similar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is determined by the setting the CP0HYP bits.

Comparator0 interrupts can be generated on both rising-edge and falling-edge output transitions. (For Interrupt
enable and priority control, see Section “8.3. Interrupt Handler” on page 67). The CP0FIF flag is set to logic 1
upon a Comparator0 falling-edge interrupt, and the CP0RIF flag is set to logic 1 upon the Comparator0 rising-edge
interrupt. Once set, these bits remain set until cleared by software. The output state of Comparator0 can be obtained at
any time by reading the CP0OUT bit. Comparator0 is enabled by setting the CP0EN bit to logic 1, and is disabled by
clearing this bit to logic 0.

8. CIP-51 MICROCONTROLLER
The MCU system controller core is the CIP-51 microcontroller. The CIP-51 is fully compatible with the MCS-51™
instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop software. The MCU family has
a superset of all the peripherals included with a standard 8051. Included are three 16-bit counter/timers (see descrip-
tion in Section 15), an enhanced full-duplex UART (see description in Section 14), 256 bytes of internal RAM,
128 byte Special Function Register (SFR) address space (Section 8.2.6), and one byte-wide I/O Port (see description
in Section 12). The CIP-51 also includes on-chip debug hardware (see description in Section 17), and interfaces
directly with the analog and digital subsystems providing a complete data acquisition or control-system solution in a
single integrated circuit.
The CIP-51 Microcontroller core implements the standard 8051 organization and peripherals as well as additional
custom peripherals and functions to extend its capability (see Figure 8.1 for a block diagram). The CIP-51 includes
the following features:
- Fully Compatible with MCS-51 Instruction Set - Extended Interrupt Handler
- 25 MIPS Peak Throughput with 25 MHz Clock - Reset Input
- 0 to 25 MHz Clock Frequency - Power Management Modes
- 256 Bytes of Internal RAM - On-chip Debug Logic
- Byte-Wide I/O Port - Program and Data Memory Security

Performance
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the standard 8051
architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system clock cycles to exe-
cute, and usually have a maximum system clock of 12 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51 core executes 70% of its instruc-
tions in one or two system clock cycles, with no instructions taking more than eight system clock cycles.
With the CIP-51's maximum system clock at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS. The CIP-51 has a total of
109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instrutions that require each execution time.
Programming and Debugging Support
In-system programming of the FLASH program memory and communication with on-chip debug support logic is
accomplished via the Silicon Labs 2-Wire Development Interface (C2). Note that the re-programmable FLASH can
also be read and changed a single byte at a time by the application software using the MOVC and MOVX instruc-
tions. This feature allows program memory to be used for non-volatile data storage as well as updating program code
under software control.
The on-chip debug support logic facilitates full speed in-circuit debugging, allowing the setting of hardware break-
points, starting, stopping and single stepping through program execution (including interrupt service routines), exam-
ination of the program's call stack, and reading/writing the contents of registers and memory. This method of on-chip
debugging is completely non-intrusive, requiring no RAM, Stack, timers, or other on-chip resources. C2 details can
be found in Section “17. C2 Interface” on page 163.
The CIP-51 is supported by development tools from Silicon Labs and third party vendors. Silicon Labs provides an
integrated development environment (IDE) including editor, macro assembler, debugger and programmer. The IDE's
debugger and programmer interface to the CIP-51 via the C2 interface to provide fast and efficient in-system device
programming and debugging. Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also available.

8.1. INSTRUCTION SET
The instruction set of the CIP-51 System Controller is fully compatible with the standard MCS-51™ instruction set.
Standard 8051 development tools can be used to develop software for the CIP-51. All CIP-51 instructions are the
binary and functional equivalent of their MCS-51™ counterparts, including opcodes, addressing modes and effect on
PSW flags. However, instruction timing is different than that of the standard 8051.
8.1.1. Instruction and CPU Timing
In many 8051 implementations, a distinction is made between machine cycles and clock cycles, with machine cycles
varying from 2 to 12 clock cycles in length. However, the CIP-51 implementation is based solely on clock cycle tim-
ing. All instruction timings are specified in terms of clock cycles.
Due to the pipelined architecture of the CIP-51, most instructions execute in the same number of clock cycles as there
are program bytes in the instruction. Conditional branch instructions take one less clock cycle to complete when the
branch is not taken as opposed to when the branch is taken. Table 8.1 is the CIP-51 Instruction Set Summary,
which includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock cycles for each instruction.
8.1.2. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory
The MOVX instruction is typically used to access external data memory (Note: the C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 does not
support external data or program memory). In the CIP-51, the MOVX instruction accesses the on-chip program mem-
ory space implemented as re-programmable FLASH memory. This feature provides a mechanism for the CIP-51 to
update program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Section “10. FLASH
Memory” on page 83 for further details.

8.2. MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The memory organization of the CIP-51 System Controller is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are two sepa-
rate memory spaces: program memory and data memory. Program and data memory share the same address space but
are accessed via different instruction types. The CIP-51 memory organization is shown in Figure 8.2 and Figure 8.3.
8.2.1. Program Memory
The CIP-51 core has a 64k-byte program memory space. The C8051F300/1/2/3 implements 8192 bytes of this pro-
gram memory space as in-system, re-programmable FLASH memory, organized in a contiguous block from
addresses 0x0000 to 0x1FFF. Note: 512 bytes (0x1E00 - 0x1FFF) of this memory are reserved for factory use and are
not available for user program storage. The C8051F304 implements 4096 bytes of re-programmable FLASH program
memory space; the C8051F305 implements 2048 bytes of re-programmable FLASH program memory space.
Figure 8.2 shows the program memory maps for C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices.
Program memory is normally assumed to be read-only. However, the CIP-51 can write to program memory by setting
the Program Store Write Enable bit (PSCTL.0) and using the MOVX instruction. This feature provides a mechanism
for the CIP-51 to update program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Sec-
tion “10. FLASH Memory” on page 83 for further details.

8.2.2. Data Memory
The CIP-51 includes 256 bytes of internal RAM mapped into the data memory space from 0x00 through 0xFF. The
lower 128 bytes of data memory are used for general purpose registers and scratch pad memory. Either direct or indi-
rect addressing may be used to access the lower 128 bytes of data memory. Locations 0x00 through 0x1F are addres-
sable as four banks of general purpose registers, each bank consisting of eight byte-wide registers. The next 16 bytes,
locations 0x20 through 0x2F, may either be addressed as bytes or as 128 bit locations accessible with the direct
addressing mode.
The upper 128 bytes of data memory are accessible only by indirect addressing. This region occupies the same
address space as the Special Function Registers (SFR) but is physically separate from the SFR space. The addressing
mode used by an instruction when accessing locations above 0x7F determines whether the CPU accesses the upper
128 bytes of data memory space or the SFRs. Instructions that use direct addressing will access the SFR space.
Instructions using indirect addressing above 0x7F access the upper 128 bytes of data memory. Figure 8.3 illustrates
the data memory organization of the CIP-51.
8.2.3. General Purpose Registers
The lower 32 bytes of data memory, locations 0x00 through 0x1F, may be addressed as four banks of general-purpose
registers. Each bank consists of eight byte-wide registers designated R0 through R7. Only one of these banks may be
enabled at a time. Two bits in the program status word, RS0 (PSW.3) and RS1 (PSW.4), select the active register bank
(see description of the PSW in Figure 8.7). This allows fast context switching when entering subroutines and inter-
rupt service routines. Indirect addressing modes use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.
8.2.4. Bit Addressable Locations
In addition to direct access to data memory organized as bytes, the sixteen data memory locations at 0x20 through
0x2F are also accessible as 128 individually addressable bits. Each bit has a bit address from 0x00 to 0x7F. Bit 0 of
the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x00 while bit 7 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x07. Bit 7 of the byte at 0x2F has
bit address 0x7F. A bit access is distinguished from a full byte access by the type of instruction used (bit source or
destination operands as opposed to a byte source or destination).

Rev. 2.3 61
The MCS-51™ assembly language allows an alternate notation for bit addressing of the form XX.B where XX is the
byte address and B is the bit position within the byte. For example, the instruction:
MOV C, 22.3h
moves the Boolean value at 0x13 (bit 3 of the byte at location 0x22) into the Carry flag.
8.2.5. Stack
A programmer's stack can be located anywhere in the 256-byte data memory. The stack area is designated using the
Stack Pointer (SP, 0x81) SFR. The SP will point to the last location used. The next value pushed on the stack is placed
at SP+1 and then SP is incremented. A reset initializes the stack pointer to location 0x07. Therefore, the first value
pushed on the stack is placed at location 0x08, which is also the first register (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if more
than one register bank is to be used, the SP should be initialized to a location in the data memory not being used for
data storage. The stack depth can extend up to 256 bytes.
8.2.6. Special Function Registers
The direct-access data memory locations from 0x80 to 0xFF constitute the special function registers (SFRs). The
SFRs provide control and data exchange with the CIP-51's resources and peripherals. The CIP-51 duplicates the SFRs
found in a typical 8051 implementation as well as implementing additional SFRs used to configure and access the
sub-systems unique to the MCU. This allows the addition of new functionality while retaining compatibility with the
MCS-51™ instruction set. Table 8.2 lists the SFRs implemented in the CIP-51 System Controller.
The SFR registers are accessed anytime the direct addressing mode is used to access memory locations from 0x80 to
0xFF. SFRs with addresses ending in 0x0 or 0x8 (e.g. P0, TCON, SCON0, IE, etc.) are bit-addressable as well as
byte-addressable. All other SFRs are byte-addressable only. Unoccupied addresses in the SFR space are reserved for
future use. Accessing these areas will have an indeterminate effect and should be avoided. Refer to the corresponding
pages of the datasheet, as indicated in Table 8.3, for a detailed description of each register.

8.3. Interrupt Handler
The CIP-51 includes an extended interrupt system supporting a total of 12 interrupt sources with two priority levels.
The allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripherals and external inputs pins varies according to the spe-
cific version of the device. Each interrupt source has one or more associated interrupt-pending flag(s) located in an
SFR. When a peripheral or external source meets a valid interrupt condition, the associated interrupt-pending flag is
set to logic 1.
If interrupts are enabled for the source, an interrupt request is generated when the interrupt-pending flag is set. As
soon as execution of the current instruction is complete, the CPU generates an LCALL to a predetermined address to
begin execution of an interrupt service routine (ISR). Each ISR must end with an RETI instruction, which returns pro-
gram execution to the next instruction that would have been executed if the interrupt request had not occurred. If
interrupts are not enabled, the interrupt-pending flag is ignored by the hardware and program execution continues as
normal. (The interrupt-pending flag is set to logic 1 regardless of the interrupt's enable/disable state.)
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled through the use of an associated interrupt enable bit in
an SFR (IE-EIE1). However, interrupts must first be globally enabled by setting the EA bit (IE.7) to logic 1 before the
individual interrupt enables are recognized. Setting the EA bit to logic 0 disables all interrupt sources regardless of
the individual interrupt-enable settings.
Some interrupt-pending flags are automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. However,
most are not cleared by the hardware and must be cleared by software before returning from the ISR. If an interrupt-
pending flag remains set after the CPU completes the return-from-interrupt (RETI) instruction, a new interrupt
request will be generated immediately and the CPU will re-enter the ISR after the completion of the next instruction.
8.3.1. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors
The MCUs support 12 interrupt sources. Software can simulate an interrupt by setting any interrupt-pending flag to
logic 1. If interrupts are enabled for the flag, an interrupt request will be generated and the CPU will vector to the ISR
address associated with the interrupt-pending flag. MCU interrupt sources, associated vector addresses, priority order
and control bits are summarized in Table 8.4 on page 69. Refer to the datasheet section associated with a particular
on-chip peripheral for information regarding valid interrupt conditions for the peripheral and the behavior of its inter-
rupt-pending flag(s).
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5
68 Rev. 2.3
8.3.2. External Interrupts
The /INT0 and /INT1 external interrupt sources are configurable as active high or low, edge or level sensitive. The
IN0PL (/INT0 Polarity) and IN1PL (/INT1 Polarity) bits in the IT01CF register select active high or active low; the
IT0 and IT1 bits in TCON (Section “15.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1” on page 133) select level or edge sensitive. The
table below lists the possible configurations.
/INT0 and /INT1 are assigned to Port pins as defined in the IT01CF register (see Figure 8.14). Note that /INT0 and
/INT0 Port pin assignments are independent of any Crossbar assignments. /INT0 and /INT1 will monitor their
assigned Port pins without disturbing the peripheral that was assigned the Port pin via the Crossbar. To assign a Port
pin only to /INT0 and/or /INT1, configure the Crossbar to skip the selected pin(s). This is accomplished by setting the
associated bit in register XBR0 (see Section “12.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 96 for complete details on
configuring the Crossbar).
IE0 (TCON.1) and IE1 (TCON.3) serve as the interrupt-pending flags for the /INT0 and /INT1 external interrupts,
respectively. If an /INT0 or /INT1 external interrupt is configured as edge-sensitive, the corresponding interrupt-
pending flag is automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. When configured as level
sensitive, the interrupt-pending flag remains logic 1 while the input is active as defined by the corresponding polarity
bit (IN0PL or IN1PL); the flag remains logic 0 while the input is inactive. The external interrupt source must hold the
input active until the interrupt request is recognized. It must then deactivate the interrupt request before execution of
the ISR completes or another interrupt request will be generated.
8.3.3. Interrupt Priorities
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of two priority levels: low or high. A low priority inter-
rupt service routine can be preempted by a high priority interrupt. A high priority interrupt cannot be preempted. Each
interrupt has an associated interrupt priority bit in an SFR (IP or EIP1) used to configure its priority level. Low prior-
ity is the default. If two interrupts are recognized simultaneously, the interrupt with the higher priority is serviced
first. If both interrupts have the same priority level, a fixed priority order is used to arbitrate, given in Table 8.4.
8.3.4. Interrupt Latency
Interrupt response time depends on the state of the CPU when the interrupt occurs. Pending interrupts are sampled
and priority decoded each system clock cycle. Therefore, the fastest possible response time is 5 system clock cycles:
1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt and 4 clock cycles to complete the LCALL to the ISR. If an interrupt is pending
when a RETI is executed, a single instruction is executed before an LCALL is made to service the pending interrupt.
Therefore, the maximum response time for an interrupt (when no other interrupt is currently being serviced or the
new interrupt is of greater priority) occurs when the CPU is performing an RETI instruction followed by a DIV as the
next instruction. In this case, the response time is 18 system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt, 5 clock
cycles to execute the RETI, 8 clock cycles to complete the DIV instruction and 4 clock cycles to execute the LCALL
to the ISR. If the CPU is executing an ISR for an interrupt with equal or higher priority, the new interrupt will not be
serviced until the current ISR completes, including the RETI and following instruction.

8.4. Power Management Modes
The CIP-51 core has two software programmable power management modes: Idle and Stop. Idle mode halts the CPU
while leaving the peripherals and clocks active. In Stop mode, the CPU is halted, all interrupts and timers (except the
Missing Clock Detector) are inactive, and the system clock is stopped (analog peripherals remain in their selected
states). Since clocks are running in Idle mode, power consumption is dependent upon the system clock frequency and
the number of peripherals left in active mode before entering Idle. Stop mode consumes the least power. Figure 1.15
describes the Power Control Register (PCON) used to control the CIP-51's power management modes.
Although the CIP-51 has Idle and Stop modes built in (as with any standard 8051 architecture), power management
of the entire MCU is better accomplished by enabling/disabling individual peripherals as needed. Each analog periph-
eral can be disabled when not in use and placed in low power mode. Digital peripherals, such as timers or serial
buses, draw little power when they are not in use. Turning off the oscillators lowers power consuption considerably;
however a reset is required to restart the MCU.
8.4.1. Idle Mode
Setting the Idle Mode Select bit (PCON.0) causes the CIP-51 to halt the CPU and enter Idle mode as soon as the
instruction that sets the bit completes execution. All internal registers and memory maintain their original data. All
analog and digital peripherals can remain active during Idle mode.
Idle mode is terminated when an enabled interrupt is asserted or a reset occurs. The assertion of an enabled interrupt
will cause the Idle Mode Selection bit (PCON.0) to be cleared and the CPU to resume operation. The pending inter-
rupt will be serviced and the next instruction to be executed after the return from interrupt (RETI) will be the instruc-
tion immediately following the one that set the Idle Mode Select bit. If Idle mode is terminated by an internal or
external reset, the CIP-51 performs a normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer (WDT) will eventually cause an internal watchdog reset and thereby terminate the
Idle mode. This feature protects the system from an unintended permanent shutdown in the event of an inadvertent
write to the PCON register. If this behavior is not desired, the WDT may be disabled by software prior to entering the
Idle mode if the WDT was initially configured to allow this operation. This provides the opportunity for additional
power savings, allowing the system to remain in the Idle mode indefinitely, waiting for an external stimulus to wake
up the system. Refer to Section “16.3. Watchdog Timer Mode” on page 156 for more information on the use and
configuration of the WDT.
8.4.2. Stop Mode
Setting the Stop Mode Select bit (PCON.1) causes the CIP-51 to enter Stop mode as soon as the instruction that sets
the bit completes execution. In Stop mode the internal oscillator, CPU, and all digital peripherals are stopped; the
state of the external oscillator circuit is not affected. Each analog peripheral (including the external oscillator circuit)
may be shut down individually prior to entering Stop Mode. Stop mode can only be terminated by an internal or
external reset. On reset, the CIP-51 performs the normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address
0x0000.
If enabled, the Missing Clock Detector will cause an internal reset and thereby terminate the Stop mode. The Missing
Clock Detector should be disabled if the CPU is to be put to in STOP mode for longer than the MCD timeout of
100 µsec.

9. RESET SOURCES
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this reset state,
the following occur:
• CIP-51 halts program execution
• Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values
• External Port pins are forced to a known state
• Interrupts and timers are disabled.
All SFRs are reset to the predefined values noted in the SFR detailed descriptions. The contents of internal data mem-
ory are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved. However, since the stack pointer SFR is
reset, the stack is effectively lost even though the data on the stack is not altered.
The Port I/O latches are reset to 0xFF (all logic ones) in open-drain mode. Weak pull-ups are enabled during and after
the reset. For VDD Monitor and power-on resets, the /RST pin is driven low until the device exits the reset state.
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to the internal oscillator.
Refer to Section “11. Oscillators” on page 89 for information on selecting and configuring the system clock source.
The Watchdog Timer is enabled with the system clock divided by 12 as its clock source (Section “16.3. Watchdog
Timer Mode” on page 156 details the use of the Watchdog Timer). Once the system clock source is stable, program
execution begins at location 0x0000.

9.1. Power-On Reset
During power-up, the device is held in a reset state and the /RST pin is driven low until VDD settles above VRST. A
delay occurs before the device is released from reset; the delay decreases as the VDD ramp time increases (VDD
ramp time is defined as how fast VDD ramps from 0 V to 2.7 V). Figure 9.2. plots the power-on and VDD monitor
reset timing. The maximum VDD ramp time is 1 ms; slower ramp times may cause the device to be released from
reset before VDD reaches the VRST level. For ramp times less than 1 ms, the power-on reset delay (TPORDelay) is typ-
ically less than 0.3 ms.
On exit from a power-on reset, the PORSF flag (RSTSRC.1) is set by hardware to logic 1. When PORSF is set, all of
the other reset flags in the RSTSRC Register are indeterminate (PORSF is cleared by all other resets). Since all resets
cause program execution to begin at the same location (0x0000) software can read the PORSF flag to determine if a
power-up was the cause of reset. The content of internal data memory should be assumed to be undefined after a
power-on reset. The VDD monitor is disabled following a power-on reset.
9.2. Power-Fail Reset / VDD Monitor
When a power-down transition or power irregularity causes VDD to drop below VRST, the power supply monitor will
drive the /RST pin low and hold the CIP-51 in a reset state (see Figure 9.2). When VDD returns to a level above
VRST, the CIP-51 will be released from the reset state. Note that even though internal data memory contents are not
altered by the power-fail reset, it is impossible to determine if VDD dropped below the level required for data reten-
tion. If the PORSF flag reads ‘1’, the data may no longer be valid. The VDD monitor is disabled after power-on
resets; however its defined state (enabled/disabled) is not altered by any other reset source. For example, if the VDD
monitor is enabled and a software reset is performed, the VDD monitor will still be enabled after the reset. The VDD
monitor is enabled by writing a ‘1’ to the PORSF bit in register RSTSRC. See Figure 9.2 for VDD monitor timing;
note that the reset delay is not incurred after a VDD monitor reset. See Table 9.2 for electrical characteristics of the
VDD monitor.

Important Note: Enabling the VDD monitor will immediately generate a system reset. The device will then return
from the reset state with the VDD monitor enabled. Writing a logic ‘1’ to the PORSF flag when the VDD monitor
is enabled does not cause a system reset.
9.3. External Reset
The external /RST pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the device into a reset state. Asserting an
active-low signal on the /RST pin generates a reset; an external pull-up and/or decoupling of the /RST pin may be
necessary to avoid erroneous noise-induced resets. See Table 9.2 for complete /RST pin specifications. The PINRSF
flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an external reset.
9.4. Missing Clock Detector Reset
The Missing Clock Detector (MCD) is a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the system clock. If the system clock
remains high or low for more than 100 µs, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a MCD reset, the
MCDRSF flag (RSTSRC.2) will read ‘1’, signifying the MCD as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads ‘0’. Writ-
ing a ‘1’ to the MCDRSF bit enables the Missing Clock Detector; writing a ‘0’ disables it. The state of the /RST pin
is unaffected by this reset.
9.5. Comparator0 Reset
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a ‘1’ to the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5). Comparator0
should be enabled and allowed to settle prior to writing to C0RSEF to prevent any turn-on chatter on the output from
generating an unwanted reset. The Comparator0 reset is active-low: if the non-inverting input voltage (on CP0+) is
less than the inverting input voltage (on CP0-), the device is put into the reset state. After a Comparator0 reset, the
C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5) will read ‘1’ signifying Comparator0 as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads ‘0’. The
state of the /RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
9.6. PCA Watchdog Timer Reset
The programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) function of the Programmable Counter Array (PCA) can be used to pre-
vent software from running out of control during a system malfunction. The PCA WDT function can be enabled or
disabled by software as described in Section “16.3. Watchdog Timer Mode” on page 156; the WDT is enabled and
clocked by SYSCLK / 12 following any reset. If a system malfunction prevents user software from updating the
WDT, a reset is generated and the WDTRSF bit (RSTSRC.5) is set to ‘1’. The state of the /RST pin is unaffected by
this reset.
9.7. FLASH Error Reset
If a FLASH read/write/erase or program read targets an illegal address, a system reset is generated. This may occur
due to any of the following:
• A FLASH write or erase is attempted above user code space. This occurs when PSWE is set to ‘1’ and a MOVX
operation is attempted above the user code space address limit.
• A FLASH read is attempted above user code space. This occurs when a MOVC operation is attempted above the
user code space address limit.
• A Program read is attempted above user code space. This occurs when user code attempts to branch to an address
above the user code space address limit.

10. FLASH MEMORY
On-chip, re-programmable FLASH memory is included for program code and non-volatile data storage. The FLASH
memory can be programmed in-system, a single byte at a time, through the C2 interface or by software using the
MOVX instruction. Once cleared to logic 0, a FLASH bit must be erased to set it back to logic 1. FLASH bytes would
typically be erased (set to 0xFF) before being reprogrammed. The write and erase operations are automatically timed
by hardware for proper execution; data polling to determine the end of the write/erase operation is not required. Code
execution is stalled during a FLASH write/erase operation. Refer to Table 10.1 for complete FLASH memory electri-
cal characteristics.
10.1. Programming The FLASH Memory
The simplest means of programming the FLASH memory is through the C2 interface using programming tools pro-
vided by Silicon Labs or a third party vendor. This is the only means for programming a non-initialized device. For
details on the C2 commands to program FLASH memory, see Section “17. C2 Interface” on page 163.
To ensure the integrity of FLASH contents, it is strongly recommended that the on-chip VDD Monitor be
enabled in any system that includes code that writes and/or erases FLASH memory from software.
10.1.1. FLASH Lock and Key Functions
FLASH writes and erases by user software are protected with a lock and key function; FLASH reads by user software
are unrestricted. The FLASH Lock and Key Register (FLKEY) must be written with the correct key codes, in
sequence, before FLASH operations may be performed. The key codes are: 0xA5, 0xF1. The timing does not matter,
but the codes must be written in order. If the key codes are written out of order, or the wrong codes are written,
FLASH writes and erases will be disabled until the next system reset. FLASH writes and erases will also be disabled
if a FLASH write or erase is attempted before the key codes have been written properly. The FLASH lock resets after
each write or erase; the key codes must be written again before a following FLASH operation can be performed. The
FLKEY register is detailed in Figure 10.3.
10.1.2. FLASH Erase Procedure
The FLASH memory can be programmed by software using the MOVX instruction with the address and data byte to
be programmed provided as normal operands. Before writing to FLASH memory using MOVX, FLASH write opera-
tions must be enabled by: (1) setting the PSWE Program Store Write Enable bit (PSCTL.0) to logic 1 (this directs the
MOVX writes to target FLASH memory); and (2) Writing the FLASH key codes in sequence to the FLASH Lock
register (FLKEY). The PSWE bit remains set until cleared by software.
A write to FLASH memory can clear bits but cannot set them; only an erase operation can set bits in FLASH. A byte
location to be programmed should be erased before a new value is written. The 8k byte FLASH memory is orga-
nized in 512-byte pages. The erase operation applies to an entire page (setting all bytes in the page to 0xFF). To erase
an entire 512-byte page, perform the following steps:
Step 5. Disable interrupts (recommended).
Step 6. Set the Program Store Erase Enable bit (PSEE in the PSCTL register).
Step 7. Set the Program Store Write Enable bit (PSWE in the PSCTL register).
Step 8. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.
Step 9. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.
Step 10. Using the MOVX instruction, write a data byte to any location within the 512-byte page to be
erased.
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5
84 Rev. 2.3
10.1.3. FLASH Write Procedure
FLASH bytes are programmed by software with the following sequence:
Step 1. Disable interrupts (recommended).
Step 2. Erase the 512-byte FLASH page containing the target location, as described in Section 10.1.2.
Step 3. Set the PSWE bit in PSCTL.
Step 4. Clear the PSEE bit in PSCTL.
Step 5. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.
Step 6. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.
Step 7. Using the MOVX instruction, write a single data byte to the desired location within the 512-byte
sector.
Steps 5-7 must be repeated for each byte to be written. After FLASH writes are complete, PSWE should be cleared so
that MOVX instructions do not target program memory.

The FLASH memory can be used for non-volatile data storage as well as program code. This allows data such as cal-
ibration coefficients to be calculated and stored at run time. Data is written using the MOVX instruction and read
using the MOVC instruction.
10.3. Security Options
The CIP-51 provides security options to protect the FLASH memory from inadvertent modification by software as
well as to prevent the viewing of proprietary program code and constants. The Program Store Write Enable (bit
PSWE in register PSCTL) and the Program Store Erase Enable (bit PSEE in register PSCTL) bits protect the FLASH
memory from accidental modification by software. PSWE must be explicitly set to ‘1’ before software can modify
the FLASH memory; both PSWE and PSEE must be set to ‘1’ before software can erase FLASH memory. Additional
security features prevent proprietary program code and data constants from being read or altered across the C2 inter-
face.
A security lock byte stored at the last byte of FLASH user space protects the FLASH program memory from being
read or altered across the C2 interface. See Table 10.2 for the security byte description; see Figure 10.1 for a program
memory map and the security byte locations for each device.
The lock bits can always be read and cleared to logic 0 regardless of the security settings.
Important note: The only means of removing a lock (write or read/write) once set is to erase the entire pro-
gram memory space via a C2 Device Erase command.

11. OSCILLATORS
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include a programmable internal oscillator and an external oscillator drive circuit. The
internal oscillator can be enabled/disabled and calibrated using the OSCICN and OSCICL registers, as shown in
Figure 11.1. The system clock can be sourced by the external oscillator circuit, the internal oscillator, or a scaled ver-
sion of the internal oscillator. The internal oscillator's electrical specifications are given in Table 11.1 on page 91.
11.1. Programmable Internal Oscillator
All C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include a programmable internal oscillator that defaults as the system clock after a
system reset. The internal oscillator period can be adjusted via the OSCICL register as defined by Figure 11.2. On
C8051F300/1 devices, OSCICL is factory calibrated to obtain a 24.5 MHz frequency. On C8051F302/3/4/5 devices,
the oscillator frequency is a nominal 20 MHz and may vary ±20% from device-to-device.
Electrical specifications for the precision internal oscillator are given in Table 11.1 on page 91. The programmed
internal oscillator frequency must not exceed 25 MHz. Note that the system clock may be derived from the pro-
grammed internal oscillator divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8, as defined by the IFCN bits in register OSCICN. The divide value
defaults to 8 following a reset.

11.2. External Oscillator Drive Circuit
The external oscillator circuit may drive an external crystal, ceramic resonator, capacitor, or RC network. A CMOS
clock may also provide a clock input. For a crystal or ceramic resonator configuration, the crystal/resonator must be
wired across the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins as shown in Option 1 of Figure 11.1. A 10 MΩ resistor also must be wired
across the XTAL2 and XTAL1 pins for the crystal/resonator configuration. In RC, capacitor, or CMOS clock config-
uration, the clock source should be wired to the XTAL2 pin as shown in Option 2, 3, or 4 of Figure 11.1. The type of
external oscillator must be selected in the OSCXCN register, and the frequency control bits (XFCN) must be selected
appropriately (see Figure 11.4).
Important Note on External Oscillator Usage: Port pins must be configured when using the external oscillator cir-
cuit. When the external oscillator drive circuit is enabled in crystal/resonator mode, Port pins P0.2 and P0.3 are occu-
pied as XTAL1 and XTAL2 respectively. When the external oscillator drive circuit is enabled in capacitor, RC, or
CMOS clock mode, Port pin P0.3 is occupied as XTAL2. The Port I/O Crossbar should be configured to skip the
occupied Port pins; see Section “12.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 96 for Crossbar configuration. Addi-
tionally, when using the external oscillator circuit in crystal/resonator, capacitor, or RC mode, the associated Port pins
should be configured as analog inputs. In CMOS clock mode, the associated pin should be configured as a digital
input. See Section “12.2. Port I/O Initialization” on page 98 for details on Port input mode selection.
11.3. System Clock Selection
The CLKSL bit in register OSCICN selects which oscillator is used as the system clock. CLKSL must be set to ‘1’ for
the system clock to run from the external oscillator; however the external oscillator may still clock peripherals (tim-
ers, PCA) when the internal oscillator is selected as the system clock. The system clock may be switched on-the-fly
between the internal and external oscillator, so long as the selected oscillator is enabled and has settled. The internal
oscillator requires little start-up time and may be enabled and selected as the system clock in the same write to
OSCICN. External crystals and ceramic resonators typically require a start-up time before they are settled and ready
for use as the system clock. The Crystal Valid Flag (XTLVLD in register OSCXCN) is set to ‘1’ by hardware when
the external oscillator is settled. To avoid reading a false XTLVLD, in crystal mode software should delay at least
1 ms between enabling the external oscillator and checking XTLVLD. RC and C modes typically require no startup
time.

11.4. External Crystal Example
If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be configured
as shown in Figure 11.1, Option 1. The External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) should be chosen from
the Crystal colum of the table in Figure 11.4 (OSCXCN register). For example, an 11.0592 MHz crystal requires an
XFCN setting of 111b.
When the crystal oscillator is first enabled, the oscillator amplitude detection circuit requires a settling time to
achieve proper bias. Introducing a delay of 1 ms between enabling the oscillator and checking the XTLVLD bit will
prevent a premature switch to the external oscillator as the system clock. Switching to the external oscillator before
the crystal oscillator has stabilized can result in unpredictable behavior. The recommended procedure is:
Step 1. Enable the external oscillator.
Step 2. Wait at least 1 ms.
Step 3. Poll for XTLVLD => ‘1’.
Step 4. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.
Important Note on External Crystals: Crystal oscillator circuits are quite sensitive to PCB layout. The crystal
should be placed as close as possible to the XTAL pins on the device. The traces should be as short as possible and
shielded with ground plane from any other traces which could introduce noise or interference.
11.5. External RC Example
If an RC network is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be configured as shown in
Figure 11.1, Option 2. The capacitor should be no greater than 100 pF; however for very small capacitors, the total
capacitance may be dominated by parasitic capacitance in the PCB layout. To determine the required External Oscil-
lator Frequency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, first select the RC network value to produce the
desired frequency of oscillation. If the frequency desired is 100 kHz, let R = 246 kΩ and C = 50 pF:
f = 1.23( 103 ) / RC = 1.23 ( 103 ) / [ 246 * 50 ] = 0.1 MHz = 100 kHz
Referring to the table in Figure 11.4, the required XFCN setting is 010b.
11.6. External Capacitor Example
If a capacitor is used as an external oscillator for the MCU, the circuit should be configured as shown in Figure 11.1,
Option 3. The capacitor should be no greater than 100 pF; however for very small capacitors, the total capacitance
may be dominated by parasitic capacitance in the PCB layout. To determine the required External Oscillator Fre-
quency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, select the capacitor to be used and find the frequency of
oscillation from the equations below. Assume VDD = 3.0 V and C = 50 pF:
f = KF / ( C * VDD ) = KF / ( 50 * 3 ) MHz
f = KF / 150 MHz
If a frequency of roughly 150 kHz is desired, select the K Factor from the table in Figure 11.4 as KF = 22:
f = 22 / 150 = 0.146 MHz, or 146 kHz
Therefore, the XFCN value to use in this example is 011b.

12. PORT INPUT/OUTPUT
Digital and analog resources are available through a byte-wide digital I/O Port, Port0. Each of the Port pins can be
defined as general-purpose I/O (GPIO), analog input, or assigned to one of the internal digital resources as shown in
Figure 12.3. The designer has complete control over which functions are assigned, limited only by the number of
physical I/O pins. This resource assignment flexibility is achieved through the use of a Priority Crossbar Decoder.
Note that the state of a Port I/O pin can always be read in the corresponding Port latch, regardless of the Crossbar set-
tings.
The Crossbar assigns the selected internal digital resources to the I/O pins based on the Priority Decoder (Figure 12.3
and Figure 12.4). The registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2, defined in Figure 12.5, Figure 12.6, and Figure 12.7 are
used to select internal digital functions.
All Port I/Os are 5 V tolerant (refer to Figure 12.2 for the Port cell circuit). The Port I/O cells are configured as either
push-pull or open-drain in the Port0 Output Mode register (P0MDOUT). Complete Electrical Specifications for Port
I/O are given in Table 12.1 on page 102.

12.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder
The Priority Crossbar Decoder (Figure 12.3) assigns a priority to each I/O function, starting at the top with UART0.
When a digital resource is selected, the least-significant unassigned Port pin is assigned to that resource (excluding
UART0, which is always at pins 4 and 5). If a Port pin is assigned, the Crossbar skips that pin when assigning the next
selected resource. Additionally, the Crossbar will skip Port pins whose associated bits in the XBR0 register are set.
The XBR0 register allows software to skip Port pins that are to be used for analog input or GPIO.
Important Note on Crossbar Configuration: If a Port pin is claimed by a peripheral without use of the Crossbar, its
corresponding XBR0 bit should be set. This applies to P0.0 if VREF is enabled, P0.3 and/or P0.2 if the external oscil-
lator circuit is enabled, P0.6 if the ADC is configured to use the external conversion start signal (CNVSTR), and any
selected ADC or Comparator inputs. The Crossbar skips selected pins as if they were already assigned, and moves to
the next unassigned pin. Figure 12.3 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with no Port pins skipped (XBR0 = 0x00);
Figure 12.4 shows the Crossbar Decoder priority with pins 6 and 2 skipped (XBR0 = 0x44).

Registers XBR1 and XBR2 are used to assign the digital I/O resources to the physical I/O Port pins. Note that when
the SMBus is selected, the Crossbar assigns both pins associated with the SMBus (SDA and SCL). Either or both of
the UART signals may be selected by the Crossbar. UART0 pin assignments are fixed for bootloading purposes:
when UART TX0 is selected, it is always assigned to P0.4; when UART RX0 is selected, it is always assigned to
P0.5. Standard Port I/Os appear contiguously after the prioritized functions have been assigned. For example, if
assigned functions that take the first 3 Port I/O (P0.[2:0]), 5 Port I/O are left for analog or GPIO use.

12.2. Port I/O Initialization
Port I/O initialization consists of the following steps:
Step 1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all Port pins, using the Port0 Input Mode register
(P0MDIN).
Step 2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all Port pins, using the Port0 Output Mode
register (P0MDOUT).
Step 3. Set XBR0 to skip any pins selected as analog inputs or special functions.
Step 4. Assign Port pins to desired peripherals.
Step 5. Enable the Crossbar.
All Port pins must be configured as either analog or digital inputs. Any pins to be used as Comparator or ADC inputs
should be configured as an analog inputs. When a pin is configured as an analog input, its weak pull-up, digital driver,
and digital receiver is disabled. This process saves power and reduces noise on the analog input. Pins configured as
digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however this practice is not recommended.
Additionally, all analog input pins should be configured to be skipped by the Crossbar (accomplished by setting the
associated bits in XBR0). Port input mode is set in the P0MDIN register, where a ‘1’ indicates a digital input, and a
‘0’ indicates an analog input. All pins default to digital inputs on reset. See Figure 12.9 for the P0MDIN register
details.
The output driver characteristics of the I/O pins are defined using the Port0 Output Mode register P0MDOUT (see
Figure 12.10). Each Port Output driver can be configured as either open drain or push-pull. This selection is required
even for the digital resources selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only exception to this is the
SMBus (SDA, SCL) pins, which are configured as open-drain regardless of the P0MDOUT settings. When the
WEAKPUD bit in XBR2 is ‘0’, a weak pull-up is enabled for all Port I/O configured as open-drain. WEAKPUD does
not affect the push-pull Port I/O. Furthermore, the weak pull-up is turned off on an open-drain output that is driving a
‘0’ to avoid unnecessary power dissipation.
Registers XBR0, XBR1 and XBR2 must be loaded with the appropriate values to select the digital I/O functions
required by the design. Setting the XBARE bit in XBR2 to ‘1’ enables the Crossbar. Until the Crossbar is enabled, the
external pins remain as standard digital inputs (output drivers disabled) regardless of the XBRn Register settings. For
given XBRn Register settings, one can determine the I/O pin-out using the Priority Decode Table; as an alternative,
the Configuration Wizard utility of the Silicon Labs IDE software will determine the Port I/O pin-assignments based
on the XBRn Register settings.

12.3. General Purpose Port I/O
Port pins that remain unassigned by the Crossbar and are not used by analog peripherals can be used for general pur-
pose I/O. Port0 is accessed through a corresponding special function register (SFR) that is both byte addressable and
bit addressable. When writing to a Port, the value written to the SFR is latched to maintain the output data value at
each pin. When reading, the logic levels of the Port's input pins are returned regardless of the XBRn settings (i.e.,
even when the pin is assigned to another signal by the Crossbar, the Port register can always read its corresponding
Port I/O pin). The exception to this is the execution of the read-modify-write instructions. The read-modify-write
instructions when operating on a Port SFR are the following: ANL, ORL, XRL, JBC, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ and
MOV, CLR or SET, when the destination is an individual bit in a Port SFR. For these instructions, the value of the
register (not the pin) is read, modified, and written back to the SFR.

13. SMBUS
The SMBus I/O interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus. The SMBus is compliant with the System Manage-
ment Bus Specification, version 1.1, and compatible with the I2C serial bus. Reads and writes to the interface by the
system controller are byte oriented with the SMBus interface autonomously controlling the serial transfer of the data.
Data can be transferred at up to 1/10th of the system clock operating as master or slave (this can be faster than
allowed by the SMBus specification, depending on the system clock used). A method of extending the clock-low
duration is available to accommodate devices with different speed capabilities on the same bus.
The SMBus interface may operate as a master and/or slave, and may function on a bus with multiple masters. The
SMBus provides control of SDA (serial data), SCL (serial clock) generation and synchronization, arbitration logic,
and START/STOP control and generation. Three SFRs are associated with the SMBus: SMB0CF configures the
SMBus; SMB0CN controls the status of the SMBus; and SMB0DAT is the data register, used for both transmitting
and receiving SMBus data and slave addresses.

13.1. Supporting Documents
It is assumed the reader is familiar with or has access to the following supporting documents:
1. The I2C-Bus and How to Use It (including specifications), Philips Semiconductor.
2. The I2C-Bus Specification -- Version 2.0, Philips Semiconductor.
3. System Management Bus Specification -- Version 1.1, SBS Implementers Forum.
13.2. SMBus Configuration
Figure 13.2 shows a typical SMBus configuration. The SMBus specification allows any recessive voltage between
3.0 V and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage levels. The bi-directional SCL (serial
clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage through a pull-up resistor or
similar circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-drain or open-collector output for both the SCL
and SDA lines, so that both are pulled high (recessive state) when the bus is free. The maximum number of devices
on the bus is limited only by the requirement that the rise and fall times on the bus not exceed 300 ns and 1000 ns,
respectively.

13.3. SMBus Operation
Two types of data transfers are possible: data transfers from a master transmitter to an addressed slave receiver
(WRITE), and data transfers from an addressed slave transmitter to a master receiver (READ). The master device ini-
tiates both types of data transfers and provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. The SMBus interface may operate as a
master or a slave, and multiple master devices on the same bus are supported. If two or more masters attempt to ini-
tiate a data transfer simultaneously, an arbitration scheme is employed with a single master always winning the arbi-
tration. Note that it is not necessary to specify one device as the Master in a system; any device that transmits a
START and a slave address becomes the master for the duration of that transfer.
A typical SMBus transaction consists of a START condition followed by an address byte (Bits7-1: 7-bit slave
address; Bit0: R/W direction bit), one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Each byte that is received (by a
master or slave) must be acknowledged (ACK) with a low SDA during a high SCL (see Figure 13.3). If the receiving
device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a NACK (not acknowledge), which is a high SDA during a
high SCL.
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set to
logic 1 to indicate a "READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The master gener-
ates the START condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the transaction is a WRITE opera-
tion from the master to the slave, the master transmits the data a byte at a time waiting for an ACK from the slave at
the end of each byte. For READ operations, the slave transmits the data waiting for an ACK from the master at the
end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the master generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction
and free the bus. Figure 13.3 illustrates a typical SMBus transaction.
13.3.1. Arbitration
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is free. The bus is free after a STOP condition or after the SCL and SDA
lines remain high for a specified time (see Section “13.3.4. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout” on page 106). In the
event that two or more devices attempt to begin a transfer at the same time, an arbitration scheme is employed to
force one master to give up the bus. The master devices continue transmitting until one attempts a HIGH while the
other transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-drain, the bus will be pulled LOW. The master attempting the HIGH
will detect a LOW SDA and lose the arbitration. The winning master continues its transmission without interruption;
the losing master becomes a slave and receives the rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration scheme is non-
destructive: one device always wins, and no data is lost.

13.3.2. Clock Low Extension
SMBus provides a clock synchronization mechanism, similar to I2C, which allows devices with different speed capa-
bilities to coexist on the bus. A clock-low extension is used during a transfer in order to allow slower slave devices to
communicate with faster masters. The slave may temporarily hold the SCL line LOW to extend the clock low period,
effectively decreasing the serial clock frequency.
13.3.3. SCL Low Timeout
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore, the mas-
ter cannot force the SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus protocol specifies
that devices participating in a transfer must detect any clock cycle held low longer than 25 ms as a “timeout” condi-
tion. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the communication no later than 10 ms after detect-
ing the timeout condition.
When the SMBTOE bit in SMB0CF is set, Timer 2 is used to detect SCL low timeouts. Timer 2 is forced to reload
when SCL is high, and allowed to count when SCL is low. With Timer 2 enabled and configured to overflow after
25 ms (and SMBTOE set), the Timer 2 interrupt service routine can be used to reset (disable and re-enable) the
SMBus in the event of an SCL low timeout. Timer 2 configuration details can be found in Section “15.2. Timer 2”
on page 141.
13.3.4. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 µs, the bus is desig-
nated as free. When the SMBFTE bit in SMB0CF is set, the bus will be considered free if SCL and SDA remain high
for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods. If the SMBus is waiting to generate a Master START, the START will
be generated following this timeout. Note that a clock source is required for free timeout detection, even in a slave-
only implementation.

Rev. 2.3 107
13.4. Using the SMBus
The SMBus can operate in both Master and Slave modes. The interface provides timing and shifting control for serial
transfers; higher level protocol is determined by user software. The SMBus interface provides the following applica-
tion-independent features:
• Byte-wise serial data transfers
• Clock signal generation on SCL (Master Mode only) and SDA data synchronization
• Timeout/bus error recognition, as defined by the SMB0CF configuration register
• START/STOP timing, detection, and generation
• Bus arbitration
• Interrupt generation
• Status information
SMBus interrupts are generated for each data byte or slave address that is transferred. When transmitting, this inter-
rupt is generated after the ACK cycle so that software may read the received ACK value; when receiving data, this
interrupt is generated before the ACK cycle so that software may define the outgoing ACK value. See Section
“13.5. SMBus Transfer Modes” on page 115 for more details on transmission sequences.
Interrupts are also generated to indicate the beginning of a transfer when a master (START generated), or the end of a
transfer when a slave (STOP detected). Software should read the SMB0CN (SMBus Control register) to find the
cause of the SMBus interrupt. The SMB0CN register is described in Section “13.4.2. SMB0CN Control Register”
on page 111; Table 13.4 provides a quick SMB0CN decoding reference.
SMBus configuration options include:
• Timeout detection (SCL Low Timeout and/or Bus Free Timeout)
• SDA setup and hold time extensions
• Slave event enable/disable
• Clock source selection
These options are selected in the SMB0CF register, as described in Section “13.4.1. SMBus Configuration Regis-
ter” on page 108.
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5
108 Rev. 2.3
13.4.1. SMBus Configuration Register
The SMBus Configuration register (SMB0CF) is used to enable the SMBus Master and/or Slave modes, select the
SMBus clock source, and select the SMBus timing and timeout options. When the ENSMB bit is set, the SMBus is
enabled for all master and slave events. Slave events may be disabled by setting the INH bit. With slave events inhib-
ited, the SMBus interface will still monitor the SCL and SDA pins; however, the interface will NACK all received
addresses and will not generate any slave interrupts. When the INH bit is set, all slave events will be inhibited follow-
ing the next START (interrupts will continue for the duration of the current transfer).
The SMBCS1-0 bits select the SMBus clock source, which is used only when operating as a master or when the Free
Timeout detection is enabled. When operating as a master, overflows from the selected source determine the absolute
minimum SCL low and high times as defined in Equation 13.1. Note that the selected clock source may be shared by
other peripherals so long as the timer is left running at all times. For example, Timer 1 overflows may generate the
SMBus and UART baud rates simultaneously. Timer configuration is covered in Section “15. Timers” on page 133.
The selected clock source should be configured to establish the minimum SCL High and Low times as per
Equation 13.1. When the interface is operating as a master (and SCL is not driven or extended by any other devices
on the bus), the typical SMBus bit rate is approximated by Equation 13.2.
Figure 13.4 shows the typical SCL generation described by Equation 13.2. Notice that THIGH is typically twice as
large as TLOW
. The actual SCL output may vary due to other devices on the bus (SCL may be extended low by slower
slave devices, or driven low by contending master devices). The bit rate when operating as a master will never exceed
the limits defined by equation Equation 13.1.

Setting the EXTHOLD bit extends the minimum setup and hold times for the SDA line. The minimum SDA setup
time defines the absolute minimum time that SDA is stable before SCL transitions from low-to-high. The minimum
SDA hold time defines the absolute minimum time that the current SDA value remains stable after SCL transitions
from high-to-low. EXTHOLD should be set so that the minimum setup and hold times meet the SMBus Specification
requirements of 250 ns and 300 ns, respectively. Table 13.2 shows the minimum setup and hold times for the two
EXTHOLD settings. Setup and hold time extensions are typically necessary when SYSCLK is above 10 MHz.
With the SMBTOE bit set, Timer 2 should be configured to overflow after 25 ms in order to detect SCL low timeouts
(see Section “13.3.3. SCL Low Timeout” on page 106). The SMBus interface will force Timer 2 to reload while
SCL is high, and allow Timer 2 to count when SCL is low. The Timer 2 interrupt service routine should be used to
reset SMBus communication by disabling and re-enabling the SMBus. Timer 2 configuration is described in Section
“15.2. Timer 2” on page 141.
SMBus Free Timeout detection can be enabled by setting the SMBFTE bit. When this bit is set, the bus will be con-
sidered free if SDA and SCL remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (see Figure 13.4). When a
Free Timeout is detected, the interface will respond as if a STOP was detected (an interrupt will be generated, and
STO will be set).

13.4.2. SMB0CN Control Register
SMB0CN is used to control the interface and to provide status information (see Figure 13.6). The higher four bits of
SMB0CN (MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO) form a status vector that can be used to jump to service routines.
MASTER and TXMODE indicate the master/slave state and transmit/receive modes, respectively.
The STA bit indicates that a START has been detected or generated since the last SMBus interrupt. When set to ‘1’,
the STA bit will cause the SMBus to enter Master mode and generate a START when the bus becomes free. STA is
not cleared by hardware after the START is generated; it must be cleared by software.
As a master, writing the STO bit will cause the hardware to generate a STOP condition and end the current transfer
after the next ACK cycle. STO is cleared by hardware after the STOP condition is generated. As a slave, STO indi-
cates that a STOP condition has been detected since the last SMBus interrupt. STO is also used in slave mode to man-
age the transition from slave receiver to slave transmitter; see Section 13.5.4 for details on this procedure.
If STO and STA are both set to ‘1’ (while in Master Mode), a STOP followed by a START will be generated.
As a receiver, writing the ACK bit defines the outgoing ACK value; as a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates
the value received on the last ACK cycle. ACKRQ is set each time a byte is received, indicating that an outgoing
ACK value is needed. When ACKRQ is set, software should write the desired outgoing value to the ACK bit before
clearing SI. A NACK will be generated if software does not write the ACK bit before clearing SI. SDA will reflect
the defined ACK value immediately following a write to the ACK bit; however SCL will remain low until SI is
cleared. If a received slave address is not acknowledged, further slave events will be ignored until the next START is
detected.
The ARBLOST bit indicates that the interface has lost an arbitration. This may occur anytime the interface is trans-
mitting (master or slave). A lost arbitration while operating as a slave indicates a bus error condition. ARBLOST is
cleared by hardware each time SI is cleared.
The SI bit (SMBus Interrupt Flag) is set at the beginning and end of each transfer, after each byte frame, or when an
arbitration is lost; see Table 13.3 for more details.
Important Note About the SI Bit: The SMBus interface is stalled while SI is set; thus SCL is held low, and the bus
is stalled until software clears SI.
Table 13.3 lists all sources for hardware changes to the SMB0CN bits. Refer to Table 13.4 for SMBus status decoding
using the SMB0CN register.

13.4.3. Data Register
The SMBus Data register SMB0DAT holds a byte of serial data to be transmitted or one that has just been received.
Software may safely read or write to the data register when the SI flag is set. Software should not attempt to access
the SMB0DAT register when the SMBus is enabled and the SI flag is cleared to logic 0, as the interface may be in the
process of shifting a byte of data into or out of the register.
Data in SMB0DAT is always shifted out MSB first. After a byte has been received, the first bit of received data is
located at the MSB of SMB0DAT. While data is being shifted out, data on the bus is simultaneously being shifted in.
SMB0DAT always contains the last data byte present on the bus. In the event of lost arbitration, the transition from
master transmitter to slave receiver is made with the correct data or address in SMB0DAT.
Figure 13.7. SMB0DAT: SMBus Data Register
Bits7-0: SMB0DAT: SMBus Data.
The SMB0DAT register contains a byte of data to be transmitted on the SMBus serial interface or a
byte that has just been received on the SMBus serial interface. The CPU can read from or write to this
register whenever the SI serial interrupt flag (SMB0CN.0) is set to logic one. The serial data in the
register remains stable as long as the SI flag is set. When the SI flag is not set, the system may be in
the process of shifting data in/out and the CPU should not attempt to access this register.

13.5. SMBus Transfer Modes
The SMBus interface may be configured to operate as master and/or slave. At any particular time, it will be operating
in one of the following four modes: Master Transmitter, Master Receiver, Slave Transmitter, or Slave Receiver. The
SMBus interface enters Master Mode any time a START is generated, and remains in Master Mode until it loses arbi-
tration or generates a STOP. An SMBus interrupt is generated at the end of all SMBus byte frames; however, note that
the interrupt is generated before the ACK cycle when operating as a receiver, and after the ACK cycle when operating
as a transmitter.
13.5.1. Master Transmitter Mode
Serial data is transmitted on SDA while the serial clock is output on SCL. The SMBus interface generates the START
condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and the data direction bit. In this case
the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 (WRITE). The master then transmits one or more bytes of serial data.
After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is generated by the slave. The transfer is ended when the STO bit
is set and a STOP is generated. Note that the interface will switch to Master Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not writ-
ten following a Master Transmitter interrupt. Figure 13.8 shows a typical Master Transmitter sequence. Two transmit
data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that the ‘data byte transferred’ inter-
rupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode.

13.5.2. Master Receiver Mode
Serial data is received on SDA while the serial clock is output on SCL. The SMBus interface generates the START
condition and transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave and the data direction bit. In this case
the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 (READ). Serial data is then received from the slave on SDA while the
SMBus outputs the serial clock. The slave transmits one or more bytes of serial data. After each byte is received,
ACKRQ is set to ‘1’ and an interrupt is generated. Software must write the ACK bit (SMB0CN.1) to define the out-
going acknowledge value (Note: writing a ‘1’ to the ACK bit generates an ACK; writing a ‘0’ generates a NACK).
Software should write a ‘0’ to the ACK bit after the last byte is received, to transmit a NACK. The interface exits
Master Receiver Mode after the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. Note that the interface will switch to Master
Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an active Master Receiver. Figure 13.9 shows a typical Master
Receiver sequence. Two received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice that the
‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur before the ACK cycle in this mode.

13.5.3. Slave Receiver Mode
Serial data is received on SDA and the clock is received on SCL. When slave events are enabled (INH = 0), the inter-
face enters Slave Receiver Mode when a START followed by a slave address and direction bit (WRITE in this case)
is received. Upon entering Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. Software
responds to the received slave address with an ACK, or ignores the received slave address with a NACK. If the
received slave address is ignored, slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next START is detected. If the received
slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are received. Software must write the ACK bit after each
received byte to ACK or NACK the received byte. The interface exits Slave Receiver Mode after receiving a STOP.
Note that the interface will switch to Slave Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an active Slave Receiver;
see Section 13.5.4 for details on this procedure. Figure 13.10 shows a typical Slave Receiver sequence. Two received
data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice that the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts
occur before the ACK cycle in this mode.

13.5.4. Slave Transmitter Mode
Serial data is transmitted on SDA and the clock is received on SCL. When slave events are enabled (INH = 0), the
interface enters Slave Receiver Mode (to receive the slave address) when a START followed by a slave address and
direction bit (READ in this case) is received. Software responds to the received slave address with an ACK, or
ignores the received slave address with a NACK. If the received address is ignored, slave interrupts will be inhibited
until the next START is detected. If the received slave address is acknowledged, software should write data to
SMB0DAT to force the SMBus into Slave Transmitter Mode. The switch from Slave Receiver to Slave Transmitter
requires software management. Software should perform the steps outlined below only when a valid slave address is
received (indicated by the label “RX-to-TX Steps” in Figure 13.11).
Step 1. Set ACK to ‘1’.
Step 2. Write outgoing data to SMB0DAT.
Step 3. Check SMB0DAT.7; if ‘1’, do not perform steps 4, 6 or 7.
Step 4. Set STO to ‘1’.
Step 5. Clear SI to ‘0’.
Step 6. Poll for TXMODE => ‘1’.
Step 7. Clear STO to ‘0’ (must be done before the next ACK cycle).
The interface enters Slave Transmitter Mode and transmits one or more bytes of data (the above steps are only
required before the first byte of the transfer). After each byte is transmitted, the master sends an acknowledge bit; if
the acknowledge bit is an ACK, SMB0DAT should be written with the next data byte. If the acknowledge bit is a
NACK, SMB0DAT should not be written to before SI is cleared (Note: an error condition may be generated if
SMB0DAT is written following a received NACK while in Slave Transmitter Mode). The interface exits Slave Trans-
mitter Mode after receiving a STOP. Note that the interface will switch to Slave Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not
written following a Slave Transmitter interrupt. Figure 13.11 shows a typical Slave Transmitter sequence. Two trans-
mitted data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that the ‘data byte transferred’
interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode.

14. UART0
UART0 is an asynchronous, full duplex serial port offering modes 1 and 3 of the standard 8051 UART. Enhanced
baud rate support allows a wide range of clock sources to generate standard baud rates (details in Section
“14.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation” on page 124). Received data buffering allows UART0 to start reception
of a second incoming data byte before software has finished reading the previous data byte.
UART0 has two associated SFRs: Serial Control Register 0 (SCON0) and Serial Data Buffer 0 (SBUF0). The single
SBUF0 location provides access to both transmit and receive registers. Reading SBUF0 accesses the buffered
Receive register; writing SBUF0 accesses the Transmit register.
With UART0 interrupts enabled, an interrupt is generated each time a transmit is completed (TI0 is set in SCON0), or
a data byte has been received (RI0 is set in SCON0). The UART0 interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware when
the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine. They must be cleared manually by software, allowing software to
determine the cause of the UART0 interrupt (transmit complete or receive complete).

14.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation
The UART0 baud rate is generated by Timer 1 in 8-bit auto-reload mode. The TX clock is generated by TL1; the RX
clock is generated by a copy of TL1 (shown as RX Timer in Figure 14.2), which is not user-accessible. Both TX and
RX Timer overflows are divided by two to generate the TX and RX baud rates. The RX Timer runs when Timer 1 is
enabled, and uses the same reload value (TH1). However, an RX Timer reload is forced when a START condition is
detected on the RX pin. This allows a receive to begin any time a START is detected, independent of the TX Timer
state.
Timer 1 should be configured for Mode 2, 8-bit auto-reload (see Section “15.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit Counter/Timer
with Auto-Reload” on page 135). The Timer 1 reload value should be set so that overflows will occur at two times
the desired UART baud rate frequency. Note that Timer 1 may be clocked by one of five sources: SYSCLK,
SYSCLK / 4, SYSCLK / 12, SYSCLK / 48, or the external oscillator clock / 8. For any given Timer 1 clock source,
the UART0 baud rate is determined by Equation 14.1.
Where T1CLK is the frequency of the clock supplied to Timer 1, and T1H is the high byte of Timer 1 (reload value).
Timer 1 clock frequency is selected as described in Section “15.2. Timer 2” on page 141. A quick reference for typ-
ical baud rates and system clock frequencies is given in Tables 14.1 through 14.6. Note that the internal oscillator
may still generate the system clock when the external oscillator is driving Timer 1 (see Section “15.1. Timer 0 and
Timer 1” on page 133 for more details).

14.2. Operational Modes
UART0 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication. The UART mode (8-bit or 9-bit) is selected by
the S0MODE bit (SCON0.7). Typical UART connection options are shown below.
14.2.1. 8-Bit UART
8-Bit UART mode uses a total of 10 bits per data byte: one start bit, eight data bits (LSB first), and one stop bit. Data
are transmitted LSB first from the TX pin and received at the RX pin. On receive, the eight data bits are stored in
SBUF0 and the stop bit goes into RB80 (SCON0.2).
Data transmission begins when software writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit Interrupt Flag
(SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin any
time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to logic 1. After the stop bit is received, the data byte will
be loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met: RI0 must be logic 0, and if MCE0 is
logic 1, the stop bit must be logic 1. In the event of a receive data overrun, the first received 8 bits are latched into the
SBUF0 receive register and the following overrun data bits are lost.
If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data is stored in SBUF0, the stop bit is stored in RB80 and the RI0 flag is
set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not be set. An interrupt
will occur if enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set.

14.2.2. 9-Bit UART
9-bit UART mode uses a total of eleven bits per data byte: a start bit, 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable ninth
data bit, and a stop bit. The state of the ninth transmit data bit is determined by the value in TB80 (SCON0.3), which
is assigned by user software. It can be assigned the value of the parity flag (bit P in register PSW) for error detection,
or used in multiprocessor communications. On receive, the ninth data bit goes into RB80 (SCON0.2) and the stop bit
is ignored.
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit Interrupt
Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin
any time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to ‘1’. After the stop bit is received, the data byte will
be loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met: (1) RI0 must be logic 0, and (2) if
MCE0 is logic 1, the 9th bit must be logic 1 (when MCE0 is logic 0, the state of the ninth data bit is unimportant). If
these conditions are met, the eight bits of data are stored in SBUF0, the ninth bit is stored in RB80, and the RI0 flag is
set to ‘1’. If the above conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not be set to
‘1’. A UART0 interrupt will occur if enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set to ‘1’.

14.3. Multiprocessor Communications
9-Bit UART mode supports multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave pro-
cessors by special use of the ninth data bit. When a master processor wants to transmit to one or more slaves, it first
sends an address byte to select the target(s). An address byte differs from a data byte in that its ninth bit is logic 1; in
a data byte, the ninth bit is always set to logic 0.
Setting the MCE0 bit (SCON.5) of a slave processor configures its UART such that when a stop bit is received, the
UART will generate an interrupt only if the ninth bit is logic one (RB80 = 1) signifying an address byte has been
received. In the UART interrupt handler, software will compare the received address with the slave's own assigned 8-
bit address. If the addresses match, the slave will clear its MCE0 bit to enable interrupts on the reception of the fol-
lowing data byte(s). Slaves that weren't addressed leave their MCE0 bits set and do not generate interrupts on the
reception of the following data bytes, thereby ignoring the data. Once the entire message is received, the addressed
slave resets its MCE0 bit to ignore all transmissions until it receives the next address byte.
Multiple addresses can be assigned to a single slave and/or a single address can be assigned to multiple slaves,
thereby enabling "broadcast" transmissions to more than one slave simultaneously. The master processor can be con-
figured to receive all transmissions or a protocol can be implemented such that the master/slave role is temporarily
reversed to enable half-duplex transmission between the original master and slave(s).

15. TIMERS
Each MCU includes 3 counter/timers: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found in the standard
8051, and one is a 16-bit auto-reload timer for use with the ADC, SMBus, or for general purpose use. These timers
can be used to measure time intervals, count external events and generate periodic interrupt requests. Timer 0 and
Timer 1 are nearly identical and have four primary modes of operation. Timer 2 offers 16-bit and split 8-bit timer
functionality with auto-reload.
Timers 0 and 1 may be clocked by one of five sources, determined by the Timer Mode Select bits (T1M-T0M) and
the Clock Scale bits (SCA1-SCA0). The Clock Scale bits define a pre-scaled clock from which Timer 0 and/or
Timer 1 may be clocked (See Figure 15.6 for pre-scaled clock selection).
Timer 0/1 may then be configured to use this pre-scaled clock signal or the system clock. Timer 2 may be clocked by
the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source divided by 8.
Timer 0 and Timer 1 may also be operated as counters. When functioning as a counter, a counter/timer register is
incremented on each high-to-low transition at the selected input pin. Events with a frequency of up to one-fourth the
system clock's frequency can be counted. The input signal need not be periodic, but it should be held at a given level
for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure the level is properly sampled.
15.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1
Each timer is implemented as 16-bit register accessed as two separate bytes: a low byte (TL0 or TL1) and a high byte
(TH0 or TH1). The Counter/Timer Control register (TCON) is used to enable Timer 0 and Timer 1 as well as indicate
their status. Timer 0 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET0 bit in the IE regitser (Section “8.3.5. Interrupt
Register Descriptions” on page 70); Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET1 bit in the IE register (Sec-
tion 8.3.5). Both counter/timers operate in one of four primary modes selected by setting the Mode Select bits T1M1-
T0M0 in the Counter/Timer Mode register (TMOD). Each timer can be configured independently. Each operating
mode is described below.
15.1.1. Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as 13-bit counter/timers in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration and oper-
ation of Timer 0. However, both timers operate identically, and Timer 1 is configured in the same manner as
described for Timer 0.
The TH0 register holds the eight MSBs of the 13-bit counter/timer. TL0 holds the five LSBs in bit positions TL0.4-
TL0.0. The three upper bits of TL0 (TL0.7-TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or ignored when read-
ing. As the 13-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to 0x0000, the timer overflow flag
TF0 (TCON.5) is set and an interrupt will occur if Timer 0 interrupts are enabled.
The C/T0 bit (TMOD.2) selects the counter/timer's clock source. When C/T0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low transitions
at the selected Timer 0 input pin (T0) increment the timer register (Refer to Section “12.1. Priority Crossbar
Decoder” on page 96 for information on selecting and configuring external I/O pins). Clearing C/T selects the clock
defined by the T0M bit (CKCON.3). When T0M is set, Timer 0 is clocked by the system clock. When T0M is
cleared, Timer 0 is clocked by the source selected by the Clock Scale bits in CKCON (see Figure 15.6).
Timer 0 and Timer 1 Modes: Timer 2 Modes:
13-bit counter/timer 16-bit timer with auto-reload
16-bit counter/timer
8-bit counter/timer with auto-reload Two 8-bit timers with auto-reload
Two 8-bit counter/timers (Timer 0 only)
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5
134 Rev. 2.3
Setting the TR0 bit (TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is logic 0 or the input signal /INT0 is
active as defined by bit IN0PL in register INT01CF (see Figure 8.14). Setting GATE0 to ‘1’ allows the timer to be
controlled by the external input signal /INT0 (see Section “8.3.5. Interrupt Register Descriptions” on page 70),
facilitating pulse width measurements.
Setting TR0 does not force the timer to reset. The timer registers should be loaded with the desired initial value before
the timer is enabled.
TL1 and TH1 form the 13-bit register for Timer 1 in the same manner as described above for TL0 and TH0. Timer 1
is configured and controlled using the relevant TCON and TMOD bits just as with Timer 0. The input signal /INT1 is
used with Timer 1; the /INT1 polarity is defined by bit IN1PL in register INT01CF (see Figure 8.14).
15.1.2. Mode 1: 16-bit Counter/Timer
Mode 1 operation is the same as Mode 0, except that the counter/timer registers use all 16 bits. The counter/timers are
enabled and configured in Mode 1 in the same manner as for Mode 0.

15.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload
Mode 2 configures Timer 0 and Timer 1 to operate as 8-bit counter/timers with automatic reload of the start value.
TL0 holds the count and TH0 holds the reload value. When the counter in TL0 overflows from all ones to 0x00, the
timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and the counter in TL0 is reloaded from TH0. If Timer 0 interrupts are
enabled, an interrupt will occur when the TF0 flag is set. The reload value in TH0 is not changed. TL0 must be initial-
ized to the desired value before enabling the timer for the first count to be correct. When in Mode 2, Timer 1 operates
identically to Timer 0.
Both counter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 2 in the same manner as Mode 0. Setting the TR0 bit
(TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is logic 0 or when the input signal /INT0 is active as
defined by bit IN0PL in register INT01CF (see Section “8.3.2. External Interrupts” on page 68 for details on the
external input signals /INT0 and /INT1).

15.1.4. Mode 3: Two 8-bit Counter/Timers (Timer 0 Only)
In Mode 3, Timer 0 is configured as two separate 8-bit counter/timers held in TL0 and TH0. The counter/timer in TL0
is controlled using the Timer 0 control/status bits in TCON and TMOD: TR0, C/T0, GATE0 and TF0. TL0 can use
either the system clock or an external input signal as its timebase. The TH0 register is restricted to a timer function
sourced by the system clock or prescaled clock. TH0 is enabled using the Timer 1 run control bit TR1. TH0 sets the
Timer 1 overflow flag TF1 on overflow and thus controls the Timer 1 interrupt.
Timer 1 is inactive in Mode 3. When Timer 0 is operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be operated in Modes 0, 1 or 2, but
cannot be clocked by external signals nor set the TF1 flag and generate an interrupt. However, the Timer 1 overflow
can be used to generate baud rates for the SMBus and/or UART, and/or initiate ADC conversions. While Timer 0 is
operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 run control is handled through its mode settings. To run Timer 1 while Timer 0 is in
Mode 3, set the Timer 1 Mode as 0, 1, or 2. To disable Timer 1, configure it for Mode 3.

15.2. Timer 2
Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMR2L (low byte) and TMR2H (high byte). Timer 2 may oper-
ate in 16-bit auto-reload mode or (split) 8-bit auto-reload mode. The T2SPLIT bit (TMR2CN.3) defines the Timer 2
operation mode.
Timer 2 may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator source divided
by 8. The external clock mode is ideal for real-time clock (RTC) functionality, where the internal oscillator drives the
system clock while Timer 2 (and/or the PCA) is clocked by an external precison oscillator. Note that the external
oscillator source divided by 8 is synchronized with the system clock.
15.2.1. 16-bit Timer with Auto-Reload
When T2SPLIT (TMR2CN.3) is zero, Timer 2 operates as a 16-bit timer with auto-reload. Timer 2 can be clocked by
SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source divided by 8. As the 16-bit timer register
increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the 16-bit value in the Timer 2 reload registers (TMR2RLH and
TMR2RLL) is loaded into the Timer 2 register as shown in Figure 15.11, and the Timer 2 High Byte Overflow Flag
(TMR2CN.7) is set. If Timer 2 interrupts are enabled (if IE.5 is set), an interrupt will be generated on each Timer 2
overflow. Additionally, if Timer 2 interrupts are enabled and the TF2LEN bit is set (TMR2CN.5), an interrupt will be
generated each time the lower 8 bits (TL2) overflow from 0xFF to 0x00.

15.2.2. 8-bit Timers with Auto-Reload
When T2SPLIT is set, Timer 2 operates as two 8-bit timers (TMR2H and TMR2L). Both 8-bit timers operate in auto-
reload mode as shown in Figure 15.12. TMR2RLL holds the reload value for TMR2L; TMR2RLH holds the reload
value for TMR2H. The TR2 bit in TMR2CN handles the run control for TMR2H. TMR2L is always running when
configured for 8-bit Mode.
Each 8-bit timer may be configured to use SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source
divided by 8. The Timer 2 Clock Select bits (T2MH and T2ML in CKCON) select either SYSCLK or the clock
defined by the Timer 2 External Clock Select bit (T2XCLK in TMR2CN), as follows:
Note: External clock divided by 8 is synchronized with the system clock, and the external clock must be less than or
equal to the system clock to operate in this mode.
The TF2H bit is set when TMR2H overflows from 0xFF to 0x00; the TF2L bit is set when TMR2L overflows from
0xFF to 0x00. When Timer 2 interrupts are enabled (IE.5), an interrupt is generated each time TMR2H overflows. If
Timer 2 interrupts are enabled and TF2LEN (TMR2CN.5) is set, an interrupt is generated each time either TMR2L or
TMR2H overflows. When TF2LEN is enabled, software must check the TF2H and TF2L flags to determine the
source of the Timer 2 interrupt. The TF2H and TF2L interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware and must be manu-
ally cleared by software.

Bit7: TF2H: Timer 2 High Byte Overflow Flag
Set by hardware when the Timer 2 high byte overflows from 0xFF to 0x00. In 16 bit mode, this will
occur when Timer 2 overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. When the Timer 2 interrupt is enabled, set-
ting this bit causes the CPU to vector to the Timer 2 interrupt service routine. TF2H is not automati-
cally cleared by hardware and must be cleared by software.
Bit6: TF2L: Timer 2 Low Byte Overflow Flag
Set by hardware when the Timer 2 low byte overflows from 0xFF to 0x00. When this bit is set, an
interrupt will be generated if TF2LEN is set and Timer 2 interrupts are enabled. TF2L will set when
the low byte overflows regardless of the Timer 2 mode. This bit is not automatically cleared by hard-
ware.
Bit5: TF2LEN: Timer 2 Low Byte Interrupt Enable.
This bit enables/disables Timer 2 Low Byte interrupts. If TF2LEN is set and Timer 2 interrupts are

external oscillator clock source for both timer bytes. However, the Timer 2 Clock Select bits (T2MH
and T2ML in register CKCON) may still be used to select between the external clock and the system
clock for either timer.
0: Timer 2 external clock selection is the system clock divided by 12.

16. PROGRAMMABLE COUNTER ARRAY
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides enhanced timer functionality while requiring less CPU interven-
tion than the standard 8051 counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer and three 16-bit
capture/compare modules. Each capture/compare module has its own associated I/O line (CEXn) which is routed
through the Crossbar to Port I/O when enabled (See Section “12.1. Priority Crossbar Decoder” on page 96 for
details on configuring the Crossbar). The counter/timer is driven by a programmable timebase that can select between
six sources: system clock, system clock divided by four, system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock
source divided by 8, Timer 0 overflow, or an external clock signal on the ECI input pin. Each capture/compare mod-
ule may be configured to operate independently in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software Timer, High-
Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each mode is described in Section “16.2. Capture/
Compare Modules” on page 147). The external oscillator clock option is ideal for real-time clock (RTC) functional-
ity, allowing the PCA to be clocked by a precision external oscillator while the internal oscillator drives the system
clock. The PCA is configured and controlled through the system controller's Special Function Registers. The basic
PCA block diagram is shown in Figure 16.1.
Important Note: The PCA Module 2 may be used as a watchdog timer (WDT), and is enabled in this mode follow-
ing a system reset. Access to certain PCA registers is restricted while WDT mode is enabled. See Section 16.3 for
details.

16.1. PCA Counter/Timer
The 16-bit PCA counter/timer consists of two 8-bit SFRs: PCA0L and PCA0H. PCA0H is the high byte (MSB) of the
16-bit counter/timer and PCA0L is the low byte (LSB). Reading PCA0L automatically latches the value of PCA0H
into a “snapshot” register; the following PCA0H read accesses this “snapshot” register. Reading the PCA0L Regis-
ter first guarantees an accurate reading of the entire 16-bit PCA0 counter. Reading PCA0H or PCA0L does not
disturb the counter operation. The CPS2-CPS0 bits in the PCA0MD register select the timebase for the counter/timer
as shown in Table 16.1. Note that in ‘External oscillator source divided by 8’ mode, the external oscillator
source is synchronized with the system clock, and must have a frequency less than or equal to the system clock.
When the counter/timer overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the Counter Overflow Flag (CF) in PCA0MD is set to
logic 1 and an interrupt request is generated if CF interrupts are enabled. Setting the ECF bit in PCA0MD to logic 1
enables the CF flag to generate an interrupt request. The CF bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the
CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by software (Note: PCA0 interrupts must be glo-
bally enabled before CF interrupts are recognized. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by setting the EA bit and the
EPCA0 bit to logic 1). Clearing the CIDL bit in the PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue normal operation
while the CPU is in Idle mode.

16.2. Capture/Compare Modules
Each module can be configured to operate independently in one of six operation modes: Edge-triggered Capture,
Software Timer, High Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator, or 16-Bit Pulse Width Modu-
lator. Each module has Special Function Registers (SFRs) associated with it in the CIP-51 system controller. These
registers are used to exchange data with a module and configure the module's mode of operation.
Table 16.2 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn registers used to select the PCA capture/compare module’s
operating modes. Setting the ECCFn bit in a PCA0CPMn register enables the module's CCFn interrupt. Note: PCA0
interrupts must be globally enabled before individual CCFn interrupts are recognized. PCA0 interrupts are globally
enabled by setting the EA bit and the EPCA0 bit to logic 1. See Figure 16.3 for details on the PCA interrupt configu-
ration.

16.2.1. Edge-triggered Capture Mode
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes the PCA to capture the value of the PCA counter/timer and
copy it into the corresponding module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPLn and PCA0CPHn). The CAPPn
and CAPNn bits in the PCA0CPMn register are used to select the type of transition that triggers the capture: low-to-
high transition (positive edge), high-to-low transition (negative edge), or either transition (positive or negative edge).
When a capture occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in PCA0CN is set to logic 1 and an interrupt request is
generated if CCF interrupts are enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vec-
tors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by software. If both CAPPn and CAPNn bits are set to
logic 1, then the state of the Port pin associated with CEXn can be read directly to determine whether a rising-edge or
falling-edge caused the capture.
Note: The CEXn input signal must remain high or low for at least 2 system clock cycles to be recognized by the hard-
ware.

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

16.2.3. High Speed Output Mode
In High Speed Output mode, a module’s associated CEXn pin is toggled each time a match occurs between the PCA
Counter and the module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn) Setting the TOGn, MATn,
and ECOMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables the High-Speed Output mode.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to ‘0’; writing to
PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to ‘1’.

16.2.4. Frequency Output Mode
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s associated CEXn pin.
The capture/compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the output is toggled. The
frequency of the square wave is then defined by Equation 16.1.
Where FPCA is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS2-0 bits in the PCA mode register, PCA0MD. The
lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA counter low byte; on a match, CEXn is toggled
and the offset held in the high byte is added to the matched value in PCA0CPLn. Frequency Output Mode is enabled
by setting the ECOMn, TOGn, and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register.

16.2.5. 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode
Each module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its associated CEXn
pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA counter/timer. The duty cycle of the PWM
output signal is varied using the module's PCA0CPLn capture/compare register. When the value in the low byte of the
PCA counter/timer (PCA0L) is equal to the value in PCA0CPLn, the output on the CEXn pin will be set to ‘1’. When
the count value in PCA0L overflows, the CEXn output will be set to ‘0’ (see Figure 16.8). Also, when the counter/
timer low byte (PCA0L) overflows from 0xFF to 0x00, PCA0CPLn is reloaded automatically with the value stored in
the module’s capture/compare high byte (PCA0CPHn) without software intervention. Setting the ECOMn and
PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator mode. The duty cycle for 8-Bit PWM
Mode is given by Equation 16.2.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to ‘0’; writing to
PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to ‘1’.

16.2.6. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. In this mode, the 16-bit capture/compare module defines
the number of PCA clocks for the low time of the PWM signal. When the PCA counter matches the module contents,
the output on CEXn is set to ‘1’; when the counter overflows, CEXn is set to ‘0’. To output a varying duty cycle, new
value writes should be synchronized with PCA CCFn match interrupts. 16-Bit PWM Mode is enabled by setting the
ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a varying duty cycle, match interrupts should be
enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help synchronize the capture/compare register writes. The duty cycle for 16-
Bit PWM Mode is given by Equation 16.3.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to ‘0’; writing to
PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to ‘1’.
Using Equation 16.3, the largest duty cycle is 100% (PCA0CPn = 0), and the smallest duty cycle is 0.0015%
(PCA0CPn = 0xFFFF). A 0% duty cycle may be generated by clearing the ECOMn bit to ‘0’.

16.3. Watchdog Timer Mode
A programmable watchdog timer (WDT) function is available through the PCA Module 2. The WDT is used to gen-
erate a reset if the time between writes to the WDT update register (PCA0CPH2) exceed a specified limit. The WDT
can be configured and enabled/disabled as needed by software.
With the WDTE bit set in the PCA0MD register, Module 2 operates as a watchdog timer (WDT). The Module 2 high
byte is compared to the PCA counter high byte; the Module 2 low byte holds the offset to be used when WDT updates
are performed. The Watchdog Timer is enabled on reset. Writes to some PCA registers are restricted while the
Watchdog Timer is enabled.
16.3.1. Watchdog Timer Operation
While the WDT is enabled:
• PCA counter is forced on.
• Writes to PCA0L and PCA0H are not allowed.
• PCA clock source bits (CPS2-CPS0) are frozen.
• PCA Idle control bit (CIDL) is frozen.
• Module 2 is forced into software timer mode.
• Writes to the module 2 mode register (PCA0CPM2) are disabled.
While the WDT is enabled, writes to the CR bit will not change the PCA counter state; the counter will run until the
WDT is disabled. The PCA counter run control (CR) will read zero if the WDT is enabled but user software has not
enabled the PCA counter. If a match occurs between PCA0CPH2 and PCA0H while the WDT is enabled, a reset will
be generated. To prevent a WDT reset, the WDT may be updated with a write of any value to PCA0CPH2. Upon a
PCA0CPH2 write, PCA0H plus the offset held in PCA0CPL2 is loaded into PCA0CPH2 (See Figure 16.10).

Note that the 8-bit offset held in PCA0CPH2 is compared to the upper byte of the 16-bit PCA counter. This offset
value is the number of PCA0L overflows before a reset. Up to 256 PCA clocks may pass before the first PCA0L
overflow occurs, depending on the value of the PCA0L when the update is performed. The total offset is then given
(in PCA clocks) by Equation 16.4, where PCA0L is the value of the PCA0L register at the time of the update.
The WDT reset is generated when PCA0L overflows while there is a match between PCA0CPH2 and PCA0H. Soft-
ware may force a WDT reset by writing a ‘1’ to the CCF2 flag (PCA0CN.2) while the WDT is enabled.
16.3.2. Watchdog Timer Usage
To configure the WDT, perform the following tasks:
• Disable the WDT by writing a ‘0’ to the WDTE bit.
• Select the desired PCA clock source (with the CPS2-CPS0 bits).
• Load PCA0CPL2 with the desired WDT update offset value.
• Configure the PCA Idle mode (set CIDL if the WDT should be suspended while the CPU is in Idle mode).
• Enable the WDT by setting the WDTE bit to ‘1’.
The PCA clock source and Idle mode select cannot be changed while the WDT is enabled. The Watchdog Timer is
enabled by setting the WDTE or WDLCK bits in the PCA0MD register. When WDLCK is set, the WDT cannot be
disabled until the next system reset. If WDLCK is not set, the WDT is disabled by clearing the WDTE bit.
The WDT is enabled following any reset. The PCA0 counter clock defaults to the system clock divided by 12,
PCA0L defaults to 0x00, and PCA0CPL2 defaults to 0x00. Using Equation 16.4, this results in a WDT timeout inter-
val of 3072 system clock cycles. Table 16.3 lists some example timeout intervals for typical system clocks, assuming
SYSCLK / 12 as the PCA clock source.

17. C2 INTERFACE
C8051F300/1/2/3/4/5 devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow FLASH pro-
gramming, boundary scan functions, and in-system debugging with the production part installed in the end applica-
tion. The C2 interface operates similar to JTAG, where the three JTAG data signals (TDI, TDO, TMS) are mapped
into one bi-directional C2 data signal (C2D). See the C2 Interface Specification for details on the C2 protocol.
17.1. C2 Interface Registers
The following describes the C2 registers necessary to perform FLASH programming and boundary scan functions
through the C2 interface. All C2 registers are accessed through the C2 interface as described in the C2 Interface Spec-
ification.

17.2. C2 Pin Sharing
The C2 protocol allows the C2 pins to be shared with user functions so that in-system debugging, FLASH program-
ming, and boundary scan functions may be performed. This is possible because C2 communication is typically per-
formed when the device is in the halt state, where all on-chip peripherals and user software are stalled. In this halted
state, the C2 interface can safely ‘borrow’ the C2CK (normally /RST) and C2D (normally P0.7) pins. In most appli-
cations, external resistors are required to isolate C2 interface traffic from the user application. A typical isolation con-
figuration is shown in Figure 17.6.
The configuration in Figure 17.6 assumes the following:
1. The user input (b) cannot change state while the target device is halted.
2. The /RST pin on the target device is used as an input only.
Additional resistors may be necessary depending on the specific application.
