Note 2: Rate of voltage change must be less than 0.5V/ms.
Note 3: Supply current is measured after running 2000 cycles with a square wave CKI input, CKO open, inputs at rails and outputs open.
Note 4: The HALT mode will stop CKI from oscillating in the RC and the Crystal configurations.Test conditions: All inputs tied to VCC, Land G ports in the TRI-STATE
mode and tied to ground, all outputs low and tied to ground. The clock monitor and the comparator are disabled.
Note 5: Pins G6 and RESET are designed with a high voltage input network for factory testing. These pins allow input voltages greater than VCC and the pins will
have sink current to VCC when biased at voltages greater than VCC (the pins do not have source current when biased at a voltage below VCC). The effective resis-
tance to VCC is 750Ω(typical). These two pins will not latch up. The voltage at the pins must be limited to less than 14V.
Note 6: The output propagation delay is referenced to the end of the instruction cycle where the output change occurs.

Note 15: Maximum rate of voltage change must be less than 0.5V/ms.
Note 16: Supply current is measured after running 2000 cycles with a square wave CKI input, CKO open, inputs at rails and outputs open.
Note 17: The HALT mode will stop CKI from oscillating in the RC and the Crystal configurations. Measurement of IDD HALT is done with device neither sourcing or
sinking current; with L, C, and G0–G5 programmed as low outputs and not driving a load; all outputs programmed low and not driving a load; all inputs tied to VCC;
clock monitor and comparators disabled. Parameter refers to HALT mode entered via setting bit 7 of the G Port data register. Part will pull up CKI during HALT in crys-
tal clock mode.
Note 18: Pins G6 and RESET are designed with a high voltage input network. These pins allow input voltages greater than VCC and the pins will have sink current
to VCC when biased at voltages greater than VCC (the pins do not have source current when biased at a voltage below VCC). The effective resistance to VCC is 750Ω
(typical). These two pins will not latch up. The voltage at the pins must be limited to less than 14V. WARNING: Voltages in excess of 14V will cause damage to the
pins. This warning excludes ESD transients.

and GND are the power supply pins. All V
CC
and
GND pins must be connected.
CKI is the clock input. This can come from an R/C gener-
ated oscillator, or a crystal oscillator (in conjunction with
CKO). See Oscillator Description section.
RESET is the master reset input. See Reset Description
section.
The device contains three bidirectional 8-bit I/O ports (C,
G and L), where each individual bit may be independently
configured as an input (Schmitt trigger inputs on ports L
and G), output or TRI-STATE under program control.
Three data memory address locations are allocated for
each of these I/O ports. Each I/O port has two associated
8-bit memory mapped registers, the CONFIGURATION
register and the output DATA register. A memory mapped
address is also reserved for the input pins of each I/O
port. (See the memory map for the various addresses as-
sociated with the I/O ports.)
Figure 4
shows the I/O port
configurations. The DATA and CONFIGURATION regis-
ters allow for each port bit to be individually configured un-
der software control as shown below:

PORT L is an 8-bit I/O port. All L-pins have Schmitt triggers
on the inputs.
The Port Lsupports Multi-Input Wake Up on all eight pins. L1
is used for the USART external clock. L2 and L3 are used for
the USART transmit and receive. L4 and L5 are used for the
timer input functions T2A and T2B. L6 and L7 are used for
the timer input functions T3A and T3B.
The Port L has the following alternate features:
L7 MIWU or T3B
L6 MIWU or T3A
L5 MIWU or T2B
L4 MIWU or T2A
L3 MIWU or RDX
L2 MIWU or TDX
L1 MIWU or CKX

Port G is an 8-bit port with 5 I/O pins (G0, G2–G5), an input
pin (G6), and two dedicated output pins (G1 and G7). Pins
G0 and G2–G6 all have Schmitt Triggers on their inputs. Pin
G1 serves as the dedicated WDOUT WATCHDOG output,
while pin G7 is either input or output depending on the oscil-
lator mask option selected. With the crystal oscillator option
selected, G7 serves as the dedicated output pin for the CKO
clock output. With the single-pin R/C oscillator mask option
selected, G7 serves as a general purpose input pin but is
also used to bring the device out of HALT mode with a low to
high transition on G7. There are two registers associated
with the G Port, a data register and a configuration register.
Therefore, each of the 5 I/O bits (G0, G2–G5) can be indi-
vidually configured under software control.
Since G6 is an input only pin and G7 is the dedicated CKO
clock output pin (crystal clock option) or general purpose in-
put (R/C clock option), the associated bits in the data and
configuration registers for G6 and G7 are used for special
purpose functions as outlined below. Reading the G6 and G7
data bits will return zeros.
Note that the chip will be placed in the HALT mode by writing
a “1” to bit 7 of the Port G Data Register. Similarly the chip
will be placed in the IDLE mode by writing a “1” to bit 6 of the
Port G Data Register.
Writing a “1” to bit 6 of the Port G Configuration Register en-
ables the MICROWIRE/PLUS to operate with the alternate
phase of the SK clock. The G7 configuration bit, if set high,
enables the clock start up delay after HALT when the R/C
clock configuration is used.

Port C is an 8-bit I/O port. The 40-pin device does not have
a full complement of Port C pins. The unavailable pins are
not terminated. Aread operation for these unterminated pins
will return unpredicatable values.
PORTI is an eight-bit Hi-Z input port. The 28-pin device does
not have a full complement of Port I pins. The unavailable
pins are not terminated i.e., they are floating. A read opera-
tion for these unterminated pins will return unpredictable val-
ues. The user must ensure that the software takes this into
account by either masking or restricting the accesses to bit
operations. The unterminated Port I pins will draw power
only when addressed.
Port I1–I3 are used for Comparator 1. Port I4–I6 are used for
Comparator 2.

I3 COMP1OUT (Comparator 1 Output)
I2 COMP1+IN (Comparator 1 Positive Input)
I1 COMP1−IN (Comparator 1 Negative Input)
Port D is an 8-bit output port that is preset high when RESET
goes low. The user can tie two or more D port outputs (ex-
cept D2) together in order to get a higher drive.
Note: Care must be exercised with the D2 pin operation. At RESET, the ex-
ternal loads on this pin must ensure that the output voltages stay
above 0.8 VCC to prevent the chip from entering special modes. Also
keep the external loading on D2 to less than 1000 pF.
Functional Description
The architecture of the device is modified Harvard architec-
ture. With the Harvard architecture, the control store pro-
gram memory (ROM) is separated from the data store
memory (RAM). Both ROM and RAM have their own sepa-
rate addressing space with separate address buses. The ar-
chitecture, though based on Harvard architecture, permits
transfer of data from ROM to RAM.
CPU REGISTERS
The CPU can do an 8-bit addition, subtraction, logical or shift
operation in one instruction (t
c
) cycle time.
There are six CPU registers:
A is the 8-bit Accumulator Register
PC is the 15-bit Program Counter Register
PU is the upper 7 bits of the program counter (PC)
PL is the lower 8 bits of the program counter (PC)
B is an 8-bit RAM address pointer, which can be optionally
post auto incremented or decremented.
X is an 8-bit alternate RAM address pointer, which can be
optionally post auto incremented or decremented.
SP is the 8-bit stack pointer, which points to the subroutine/
interrupt stack (in RAM). The SP is initialized to RAM ad-
dress 06F with reset.
S is the 8-bit Data SegmentAddress Register used to extend
the lower half of the address range (00 to 7F) into 256 data
segments of 128 bytes each.
All the CPU registers are memory mapped with the excep-
tion of the Accumulator (A) and the Program Counter (PC).
PROGRAM MEMORY
The program memory consists of 12288 bytes of ROM.
These bytes may hold program instructions or constant data
(data tables for the LAID instruction, jump vectors for the JID
instruction, and interrupt vectors for the VIS instruction). The
program memory is addressed by the 15-bit program
counter (PC). All interrupts in the devices vector to program
memory location 0FF Hex.
DATA MEMORY
The data memory address space includes the on-chip RAM
and data registers, the I/O registers (Configuration, Data and
Pin), the control registers, the MICROWIRE/PLUS SIO shift
register, and the various registers, and counters associated
with the timers (with the exception of the IDLE timer). Data
memory is addressed directly by the instruction or indirectly
by the B, X, SP pointers and S register.
The data memory consists of 512 bytes of RAM. Sixteen
bytes of RAM are mapped as “registers” at addresses 0F0 to
0FF Hex. These registers can be loaded immediately, and
also decremented and tested with the DRSZ (decrement
register and skip if zero) instruction. The memory pointer
registers X, SP, B and S are memory mapped into this space
at address locations 0FC to 0FF Hex respectively, with the
other registers being available for general usage.
The instruction set permits any bit in memory to be set, reset
or tested. All I/O and registers (except A and PC) are
memory mapped; therefore, I/O bits and register bits can be
directly and individually set, reset and tested. The accumula-
tor (A) bits can also be directly and individually tested.
Note: RAM contents are undefined upon power-up.
Data Memory Segment RAM
Extension
Data memory address 0FF is used as a memory mapped lo-
cation for the Data Segment Address Register (S).
The data store memory is either addressed directly by a
single byte address within the instruction, or indirectly rela-
tive to the reference of the B, X, or SP pointers (each con-
tains a single-byte address). This single-byte address allows
an addressing range of 256 locations from 00 to FF hex. The
upper bit of this single-byte address divides the data store
memory into two separate sections as outlined previously.
With the exception of the RAM register memory from ad-
dress locations 00F0 to 00FF, all RAM memory is memory
mapped with the upper bit of the single-byte address being
equal to zero. This allows the upper bit of the single-byte ad-
dress to determine whether or not the base address range
(from 0000 to 00FF) is extended. If this upper bit equals one
(representing address range 0080 to 00FF), then address
extension does not take place. Alternatively, if this upper bit
equals zero, then the data segment extension register S is
used to extend the base address range (from 0000 to 007F)
from XX00 to XX7F, where XX represents the 8 bits from the
S register. Thus the 128-byte data segment extensions are
located from addresses 0100 to 017F for data segment 1,
0200 to 027F for data segment 2, etc., up to FF00 to FF7F
for data segment 255. The base address range from 0000 to
007F represents data segment 0.
Figure 5
illustrates how the S register data memory exten-
sion is used in extending the lower half of the base address
range (00 to 7F hex) into 256 data segments of 128 bytes
each, with a total addressing range of 32 kbytes from XX00
to XX7F. This organization allows a total of 256 data seg-
ments of 128 bytes each with an additional upper base seg-
ment of 128 bytes. Furthermore, all addressing modes are
available for all data segments. The S register must be
changed under program control to move from one data seg-
ment (128 bytes) to another. However, the upper base seg-
ment (containing the 16 memory registers, I/O registers,
control registers, etc.) is always available regardless of the
contents of the S register, since the upper base segment
(address range 0080 to 00FF) is independent of data seg-
ment extension.
The instructions that utilize the stack pointer (SP) always ref-
erence the stack as part of the base segment (Segment 0),
regardless of the contents of the S register. The S register is
not changed by these instructions. Consequently, the stack
(used with subroutine linkage and interrupts) is always lo-
COP888FH

Data Memory Segment RAM
Extension (Continued)
cated in the base segment. The stack pointer will be intitial-
ized to point at data memory location 006F as a result of re-
set.
The 128 bytes of RAM contained in the base segment are
split between the lower and upper base segments. The first
112 bytes of RAM are resident from address 0000 to 006F in
the lower base segment, while the remaining 16 bytes of
RAM represent the 16 data memory registers located at ad-
dresses 00F0 to 00FF of the upper base segment. No RAM
is located at the upper sixteen addresses (0070 to 007F) of
the lower base segment.
Additional RAM beyond these initial 128 bytes, however, will
always be memory mapped in groups of 128 bytes (or less)
at the data segment address extensions (XX00 to XX7F) of
the lower base segment. The additional 128 bytes of RAM
are memory mapped at address locations 0100 to 017F hex.
Reset
The RESET input when pulled low initializes the microcon-
troller. Initialization will occur whenever the RESET input is
pulled low. Upon initialization, the data and configuration
registers for ports L, G and C are cleared, resulting in these
Ports being initialized to the TRI-STATE mode. Pin G1 of the
G Port is an exception (as noted below) since pin G1 is dedi-
cated as the WATCHDOG and/or Clock Monitor error output
pin. Port D is set high. The PC, PSW, ICNTRL, CNTRL,
T2CNTRL and T3CNTRL control registers are cleared. The
USART registers PSR, ENU (except that TBMT bit is set),
ENUR and ENUI are cleared. The Comparator Select Regis-
ter is cleared. The S register is initialized to zero. The
Multi-Input Wakeup registers WKEN, WKEDG and WKPND
are cleared. (Wakeup register WKPND is unknown.) The
stack pointer, SP, is initialized to 6F Hex.
The device comes out of reset with both the WATCHDOG
logic and the Clock Monitor detector armed, with the
WATCHDOG service window bits set and the Clock Monitor
bit set. The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor circuits are in-
hibited during reset. The WATCHDOG service window bits
being initialized high default to the maximum WATCHDOG
service window of 64k t
C
clock cycles. The Clock Monitor bit
being initialized high will cause a Clock Monitor error follow-
ing reset if the clock has not reached the minimum specified
frequency at the termination of reset. A Clock Monitor error
will cause an active low error output on pin G1. This error
output will continue until 16 t
C
–32 t
C
clock cycles following
the clock frequency reaching the minimum specified value,
at which time the G1 output will enter the TRI-STATE mode.
The external RC network shown in
Figure 6
should be used
to ensure that the RESET pin is held low until the power sup-
ply to the chip stabilizes.
Oscillator Circuits
The chip can be driven by a clock input on the CKI input pin
which can be between DC and 10 MHz. The CKO output
clock is on pin G7 (crystal configuration). The CKI input fre-
quency is divided down by 10 to produce the instruction
cycle clock (t
c
).
Figure 7
shows the Crystal and R/C oscillator diagrams.

CKI and CKO can be connected to make a closed loop crys-
tal (or resonator) controlled oscillator.

Timers
The device contains a very versatile set of timers (T0, T1,
T2, T3). All timers and associated autoreload/capture regis-
ters power up containing random data.
TIMER T0 (IDLE TIMER)
The device supports applications that require maintaining
real time and low power with the IDLE mode. This IDLE
mode support is furnished by the IDLE timer T0, which is a
16-bit timer. The Timer T0 runs continuously at the fixed rate
of the instruction cycle clock, t
c
. The user cannot read or
write to the IDLE Timer T0, which is a count down timer.
The Timer T0 supports the following functions:
•Exit out of the Idle Mode (See Idle Mode description)
•WATCHDOG logic (See WATCHDOG description)
•Start up delay out of the HALT mode
The IDLE Timer T0 can generate an interrupt when the thir-
teenth bit toggles. This toggle is latched into the T0PND
pending flag, and will occur every 4 ms at the maximum
clock frequency (t
c
= 1 µs).A control flag T0EN allows the in-
terrupt from the thirteenth bit of Timer T0 to be enabled or
disabled. Setting T0EN will enable the interrupt, while reset-
ting it will disable the interrupt.
TIMER T1, TIMER T2 AND TIMER T3
The device has a set of three powerful timer/counter blocks,
T1, T2 and T3. The associated features and functioning of a
timer block are described by referring to the timer block Tx.
Since the three timer blocks, T1, T2 and T3 are identical, all
comments are equally applicable to any of the three timer
blocks.
Each timer block consists of a 16-bit timer, Tx, and two sup-
porting 16-bit autoreload/capture registers, RxA and RxB.
Each timer block has two pins associated with it, TxA and
TxB. The pin TxA supports I/O required by the timer block,
while the pin TxB is an input to the timer block. The powerful
and flexible timer block allows the device to easily perform all
timer functions with minimal software overhead. The timer
block has three operating modes: Processor Independent
PWM mode, External Event Counter mode, and Input Cap-
ture mode.
The control bits TxC3, TxC2, and TxC1 allow selection of the
different modes of operation.
Mode 1. Processor Independent PWM Mode
As the name suggests, this mode allows the device to gen-
erate a PWM signal with very minimal user intervention. The
user only has to define the parameters of the PWM signal
(ON time and OFF time). Once begun, the timer block will
continuously generate the PWM signal completely indepen-
dent of the microcontroller. The user software services the
timer block only when the PWM parameters require updat-
ing.
In this mode the timer Tx counts down at a fixed rate of t
c
.
Upon every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with
the contents of supporting registers, RxA and RxB. The very
first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from
the register RxA. Subsequent underflows cause the timer to
be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the
register RxB.
The Tx Timer control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1 set up the
timer for PWM mode operation.
Figure 8
shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the TxAoutput
pin. The underflows can also be programmed to generate in-
terrupts.
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The user must reset
these pending flags under software control. Two control en-
COP888FH
www.national.com 16
Timers (Continued)
able flags, TxENA and TxENB, allow the interrupts from the
timer underflow to be enabled or disabled. Setting the timer-
enable flag TxENA will cause an interrupt when a timer un-
derflow causes the RxAregister to be reloaded into the timer.
Setting the timer enable flag TxENB will cause an interrupt
when a timer underflow causes the RxB register to be re-
loaded into the timer. Resetting the timer enable flags will
disable the associated interrupts.
Either or both of the timer underflow interrupts may be en-
abled. This gives the user the flexibility of interrupting once
per PWM period on either the rising or falling edge of the
PWM output. Alternatively, the user may choose to interrupt
on both edges of the PWM output.
Mode 2. External Event Counter Mode
This mode is quite similar to the processor independent
PWM mode described above. The main difference is that the
timer, Tx, is clocked by the input signal from the TxApin. The
Tx timer control bits, TxC3,TxC2 and TxC1 allow the timer to
be clocked either on a positive or negative edge from the
TxA pin. Underflows from the timer are latched into the TxP-
NDA pending flag. Setting the TxENA control flag will cause
an interrupt when the timer underflows.
In this mode the input pin TxB can be used as an indepen-
dent positive edge sensitive interrupt input if the TxENB con-
trol flag is set. The occurrence of a positive edge on the TxB
input pin is latched into the TxPNDB flag.
Figure 9
shows a block diagram of the timer in External
Event Counter mode.
Note: The PWM output is not available in this mode since the TxApin is being
used as the counter input clock.
Mode 3. Input Capture Mode
The device can precisely measure external frequencies or
time external events by placing the timer block, Tx, in the in-
put capture mode.
In this mode, the timer Tx is constantly running at the fixed t
c
rate. The two registers, RxA and RxB, act as capture regis-
ters. Each register acts in conjunction with a pin. The register
RxAacts in conjunction with the TxApin and the register RxB
acts in conjunction with the TxB pin.
The timer value gets copied over into the register when a
trigger event occurs on its corresponding pin. Control bits,
TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1, allow the trigger events to be speci-
fied either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger con-
dition for each input pin can be specified independently.
The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate
interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger condition
on the TxAand TxB pins will be respectively latched into the
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The control flag Tx-
ENA allows the interrupt on TxA to be either enabled or dis-
abled. Setting the TxENAflag enables interrupts to be gener-
ated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the TxA
pin. Similarly, the flag TxENB controls the interrupts from the
TxB pin.
Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to gen-
erate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer TxC0
pending flag (the TxC0 control bit serves as the timer under-
flow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture mode). Con-
sequently, the TxC0 control bit should be reset when enter-
ing the Input Capture mode. The timer underflow interrupt is
enabled with the TxENA control flag. When a TxA interrupt
occurs in the Input Capture mode, the user must check both
the TxPNDA and TxC0 pending flags in order to determine
whether a TxA input capture or a timer underflow (or both)
caused the interrupt.

ture mode.

Power Save Modes
The device offers the user two power save modes of opera-
tion: HALT and IDLE. In the HALT mode, all microcontroller
activities are stopped. In the IDLE mode, the on-board oscil-
lator circuitry and timer T0 are active but all other microcon-
troller activities are stopped. In either mode, all on-board
RAM, registers, I/O states, and timers (with the exception of
T0) are unaltered.
HALT MODE
The device can be placed in the HALT mode by writing a “1”
to the HALT flag (G7 data bit). All microcontroller activities,
including the clock and timers, are stopped. The WATCH-
DOG logic on the device is disabled during the HALT mode.
However, the clock monitor circuitry if enabled remains ac-
tive and will cause the WATCHDOG output pin (WDOUT) to
go low. If the HALT mode is used and the user does not want
to activate the WDOUT pin, the Clock Monitor should be dis-
abled after the device comes out of reset (resetting the Clock
Monitor control bit with the first write to the WDSVR register).
In the HALT mode, the power requirements of the device are
minimal and the applied voltage (V
CC
) may be decreased to
V
r
(V
r
= 2.0V) without altering the state of the machine.
The device supports three different ways of exiting the HALT
mode. The first method of exiting the HALT mode is with the
Multi-Input Wakeup feature on the L port. The second
method is with a low to high transition on the CKO (G7) pin.
This method precludes the use of the crystal clock configura-
DS012602-14
FIGURE 10. Timer in Input Capture Mode
COP888FH
www.national.com 18
Power Save Modes (Continued)
tion (since CKO becomes a dedicated output), and so may
be used with an RC clock configuration. The third method of
exiting the HALT mode is by pulling the RESET pin low.
Since a crystal or ceramic resonator may be selected as the
oscillator, the Wakeup signal is not allowed to start the chip
running immediately since crystal oscillators and ceramic
resonators have a delayed start up time to reach full ampli-
tude and frequency stability. The IDLE timer is used to gen-
erate a fixed delay to ensure that the oscillator has indeed
stabilized before allowing instruction execution. In this case,
upon detecting a valid Wakeup signal, only the oscillator cir-
cuitry is enabled. The IDLE timer is loaded with a value of
256 and is clocked with the t
c
instruction cycle clock. The t
c
clock is derived by dividing the oscillator clock down by a fac-
tor of 10. The Schmitt trigger following the CKI inverter on
the chip ensures that the IDLE timer is clocked only when the
oscillator has a sufficiently large amplitude to meet the
Schmitt trigger specifications. This Schmitt trigger is not part
of the oscillator closed loop. The startup timeout from the
IDLE timer enables the clock signals to be routed to the rest
of the chip.
If an RC clock option is being used, the fixed delay is intro-
duced optionally. A control bit, CLKDLY, mapped as configu-
ration bit G7, controls whether the delay is to be introduced
or not. The delay is included if CLKDLY is set, and excluded
if CLKDLY is reset. The CLKDLY bit is cleared on reset.
The device has two mask options associated with the HALT
mode. The first mask option enables the HALT mode feature,
while the second mask option disables the HALT mode. With
the HALT mode enable mask option, the device will enter
and exit the HALT mode as described above. With the HALT
disable mask option, the device cannot be placed in the
HALT mode (writing a “1” to the HALT flag will have no effect,
the HALT flag will remain “0”).
IDLE MODE
The device is placed in the IDLE mode by writing a “1” to the
IDLE flag (G6 data bit). In this mode, all activities, except the
associated on-board oscillator circuitry, and the IDLE Timer
T0, are stopped.
The power supply requirements of the microcontroller in this
mode of operation are typically around 30% of normal power
requirement of the microcontroller.
As with the HALT mode, the device can be returned to nor-
mal operation with a reset, or with a Multi-Input Wakeup from
the L Port. Alternately, the microcontroller resumes normal
operation from the IDLE mode when the thirteenth bit (repre-
senting 4.096 ms at internal clock frequency of 1 MHz, t
c
=
1 µs) of the IDLE Timer toggles.
This toggle condition of the thirteenth bit of the IDLE Timer
T0 is latched into the T0PND pending flag.
The user has the option of being interrupted with a transition
on the thirteenth bit of the IDLE Timer T0. The interrupt can
be enabled or disabled via the T0EN control bit. Setting the
T0EN flag enables the interrupt and vice versa.
The user can enter the IDLE mode with the Timer T0 inter-
rupt enabled. In this case, when the T0PND bit gets set, the
device will first execute the Timer T0 interrupt service routine
and then return to the instruction following the “Enter Idle
Mode” instruction.
Alternatively, the user can enter the IDLE mode with the
IDLE Timer T0 interrupt disabled. In this case, the device will
resume normal operation with the instruction immediately
following the “Enter IDLE Mode” instruction.
Note: It is necessary to program two NOP instructions following both the set
HALT mode and set IDLE mode instructions. These NOP instructions
are necessary to allow clock resynchronization following the HALT or
IDLE modes.
Multi-Input Wakeup
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature is ued to return (wakeup) the
device from either the HALT or IDLE modes. Alternately
Multi-Input Wakeup/Interrupt feature may also be used to
generate up to 8 edge selectable external interrupts.
Figure 11
shows the Multi-Input Wakeup logic.
COP888FH
www.national.com19
Multi-Input Wakeup (Continued)
The Multi-Input Wakeup feature utilizes the L Port. The user
selects which particular L port bit (or combination of L Port
bits) will cause the device to exit the HALT or IDLE modes.
The selection is done through the Reg: WKEN. The Reg:
WKEN is an 8-bit read/write register, which contains a con-
trol bit for every L port bit. Setting a particular WKEN bit en-
ables a Wakeup from the associated L port pin.
The user can select whether the trigger condition on the se-
lected L Port pin is going to be either a positive edge (low to
high transition) or a negative edge (high to low transition).
This selection is made via the Reg: WKEDG, which is an
8-bit control register with a bit assigned to each L Port pin.
Setting the control bit will select the trigger condition to be a
negative edge on that particular L Port pin. Resetting the bit
selects the trigger condition to be a positive edge. Changing
an edge select entails several steps in order to avoid a
pseudo Wakeup condition as a result of the edge change.
First, the associated WKEN bit should be reset, followed by
the edge select change in WKEDG. Next, the associated
WKPND bit should be cleared, followed by the associated
WKEN bit being re-enabled.
An example may serve to clarify this procedure. Suppose we
wish to change the edge select from positive (low going high)
to negative (high going low) for L Port bit 5, where bit 5 has
previously been enabled for an input interrupt. The program
would be as follows:
RBIT 5, WKEN ; Disable MIWN
SBIT 5, WKEDG ; Change edge polarity
RBIT 5, WKPND ; Reset pending flag
SBIT 5, WKEN ; Enable MIWU
If the L port bits have been used as outputs and then
changed to inputs with Multi-Input Wakeup/Interrupt, a safety
procedure should also be followed to avoid inherited pseudo
wakeup conditions. After the selected L port bits have been
changed from output to input but before the associated
WKEN bits are enabled, the associated edge select bits in
WKEDG should be set or reset for the desired edge selects,
followed by the associated WKPND bits being cleared.
This same procedure should be used following reset, since
the L port inputs are left floating as a result of reset.
The occurrence of the selected trigger condition for
Multi-Input Wakeup is latched into a pending register called
WKPND. The respective bits of the WKPND register will be-
set on the occurrence of the selected trigger edge on the cor-
responding Port L pin. The user has the responsibility of
clearing these pending flags. Since WKPND is a pending
register for the occurrence of selected wakeup conditions,
the device will not enter the HALT mode if any Wakeup bit is
both enabled and pending. Consequently, the user has the
responsibility of clearing the pending flags before attempting
to enter the HALT mode.
WKEN, WKPND and WKEDG are all read/write registers,
and are cleared at reset.
PORT L INTERRUPTS
Port L provides the user with an additional eight fully select-
able, edge sensitive interrupts which are all vectored into the
same service subroutine.
The interrupt from Port L shares logic with the wake up cir-
cuitry. The register WKEN allows interrupts from Port L to be
individually enabled or disabled. The register WKEDG speci-
fies the trigger condition to be either a positive or a negative
edge. Finally, the register WKPND latches in the pending
trigger conditions.
The GIE (Global Interrupt Enable) bit enables the interrupt
function.
A control flag, LPEN, functions as a global interrupt enable
for Port L interrupts. Setting the LPEN flag will enable inter-
DS012602-15
0 = low going high ↑
1 = high going low ↓
FIGURE 11. Multi-Input Wake Up Logic
COP888FH

Multi-Input Wakeup (Continued)
rupts and vice versa. A separate global pending flag is not
needed since the register WKPND is adequate.
Since Port L is also used for waking the device out of the
HALT or IDLE modes, the user can elect to exit the HALT or
IDLE modes either with or without the interrupt enabled. If he
elects to disable the interrupt, then the device will restart ex-
ecution from the instruction immediately following the in-
struction that placed the microcontroller in the HALT or IDLE
modes. In the other case, the device will first execute the in-
terrupt service routine and then revert to normal operation.
(See HALT mode for clock option wakeup information.)
Note: There is always the possibility of an interrupt occurring during an in-
struction which is attempting to reset the GIE bit or any other interrupt
enable bit. If this occurs when a single cycle instruction is being used
to reset the interrupt enable bit, the interrupt enable bit will be reset but
an interrupt may still occur. This is because interrupt processing is
started at the same time as the interrupt bit is being reset. To avoid this
scenario, the user should always use a two, three, or four cycle instruc-
tion to reset interrupt enable bits.
USART
The device contains a full-duplex software programmable
USART. The USART (
Figure 12
) consists of a transmit shift
register, a receiver shift register and seven addressable reg-
isters, as follows: a transmit buffer register (TBUF), a re-
ceiver buffer register (RBUF), a USART control and status
register (ENU), a USART receive control and status register
(ENUR), a USART interrupt and clock source register
(ENUI), a prescaler select register (PSR) and baud (BAUD)
register. The ENU register contains flags for transmit and re-
ceive functions; this register also determines the length of
the data frame (7, 8 or 9 bits), the value of the ninth bit in
transmission, and parity selection bits. The ENUR register
flags framming, data overrun and parity errors while the US-
ART is receiving.
Other functions of the ENUR register include saving the
ninth bit received in the data frame, enabling or disabling the
USART’s attention mode of operation and providing addi-
tional receiver/transmitter status information via RCVG and
XMTG bits. The determination of an internal or external clock
source is done by the ENUI register, as well as selecting the
number of stop bits and enabling or disabling transmit and
receive interrupts. A control flag in this register can also se-
lect the USART mode of operation: asynchronous or
synchronous.

USART (Continued)
ETI: This bit enables/disables interrupt from the transmitter
section. Read/Write, cleared on reset.
ETI = 0 Interrupt from the transmitter is disabled.
ETI = 1 Interrupt from the transmitter is enabled.
Associated I/O Pins
Data is transmitted on the TDX pin and received on the RDX
pin. TDX is the alternate function assigned to Port L pin L2;
it is selected by setting ETDX (in the ENUI register) to one.
RDX is an inherent function of Port L pin L3, requiring no
setup.
The baud rate clock for the USART can be generated
on-chip, or can be taken from an external source. Port L pin
L1 (CKX) is the external clock I/O pin. The CKX pin can be
either an input or an output, as determined by Port L Con-
figuration and Data registers (Bit 1). As an input, it accepts a
clock signal which may be selected to drive the transmitter
and/or receiver. As an output, it presents the internal Baud
Rate Generator output.
USART Operation
The USART has two modes of operation: asynchronous
mode and synchronous mode.
ASYNCHRONOUS MODE
This mode is selected by resetting the SSEL (in the ENUI
register) bit to zero. The input frequency to the USART is 16
times the baud rate.
The TSFT and TBUF registers double-buffer data for trans-
mission. While TSFT is shifting out the current character on
the TDX pin, the TBUF register may be loaded by software
with the next byte to be transmitted. When TSFT finishes
transmitting the current character the contents of TBUF are
transferred to the TSFT register and the Transmit Buffer
Empty Flag (TBMT in the ENU register) is set. The TBMT
flag is automatically reset by the USART when software
loads a new character into the TBUF register. There is also
the XMTG bit which is set to indicate that the USART is
transmitting. This bit gets reset at the end of the last frame
(end of last Stop bit). TBUF is a read/write register.
The RSFT and RBUF registers double-buffer data being re-
ceived. The USART receiver continually monitors the signal
on the RDX pin for a low level to detect the beginning of a
Start bit. Upon sensing this low level, it waits for half a bit
time and samples again. If the RDX pin is still low, the re-
ceiver considers this to be a valid Start bit, and the remaining
bits in the character frame are each sampled a single time, at
the mid-bit position. Serial data input on the RDX pin is
shifted into the RSFT register. Upon receiving the complete
character, the contents of the RSFT register are copied into
the RBUF register and the Received Buffer Full Flag (RBFL)
is set. RBFL is automatically reset when software reads the
character from the RBUF register. RBUF is a read only reg-
ister. There is also the RCVG bit which is set high when a
framing error occurs and goes low once RDX goes high.
TBMT, XMTG, RBFL and RCVG are read only bits.
SYNCHRONOUS MODE
In this mode data is transferred synchronously with the
clock. Data is transmitted on the rising edge and received on
the falling edge of the synchronous clock.
This mode is selected by setting SSEL bit in the ENUI regis-
ter. The input frequency to the USART is the same as the
baud rate.
When an external clock input is selected at the CKX pin, data
transmit and receive are performed synchronously with this
clock through TDX/RDX pins.
If data transmit and receive are selected with the CKX pin as
clock output, the device generates the synchronous clock
output at the CKX pin. The internal baud rate generator is
used to produce the synchronous clock. Data transmit and
receive are performed synchronously with this clock.
FRAMING FORMATS
The USART supports several serial framing formats (
Figure
13
). The format is selected using control bits in the ENU,
ENUR and ENUI registers.
The first format (1, 1a, 1b, 1c) for data transmission (CHL0 =
1, CHL1 = 0) consists of Start bit, seven Data bits (excluding
parity) and 7/8, one or two Stop bits. In applications using
parity, the parity bit is generated and verified by hardware.
The second format (CHL0 = 0, CHL1 = 0) consists of one
Start bit, eight Data bits (excluding parity) and 7/8, one or
two Stop bits. Parity bit is generated and verified by hard-
ware.
The third format for transmission (CHL0 = 0, CHL1 = 1) con-
sists of one Start bit, nine Data bits and 7/8, one or two Stop
bits. This format also supports the USART “ATTENTION”
feature. When operating in this format, all eight bits of TBUF
and RBUF are used for data. The ninth data bit is transmitted
and received using two bits in the ENU and ENUR registers,
called XBIT9 and RBIT9. RBIT9 is a read only bit. Parity is
not generated or verified in this mode.
For any of the above framing formats, the last Stop bit can
be programmed to be 7/8th of a bit in length. If two Stop bits
are selected and the 7/8th bit is set (selected), the second
Stop bit will be 7/8th of a bit in length.
The parity is enabled/disabled by PEN bit located in the ENU
register. Parity is selected for 7- and 8-bit modes only. If par-
ity is enabled (PEN = 1), the parity selection is then per-
formed by PSEL0 and PSEL1 bits located in the ENU regis-
ter.
Note that the XBIT9/PSEL0 bit located in the ENU register
serves two mutually exclusive functions. This bit programs
the ninth bit for transmission when the USART is operating
with nine data bits per frame. There is no parity selection in
this framing format. For other framing formats XBIT9 is not
needed and the bit is PSEL0 used in conjunction with PSEL1
to select parity.
The frame formats for the receiver differ from the transmitter
in the number of Stop bits required. The receiver only re-
quires one Stop bit in a frame, regardless of the setting of the
Stop bit selection bits in the control register. Note that an im-
plicit assumption is made for full duplex USART operation
that the framing formats are the same for the transmitter and
receiver.

USART Operation (Continued)
USART INTERRUPTS
The USART is capable of generating interrupts. Interrupts
are generated on Receive Buffer Full and Transmit Buffer
Empty. Both interrupts have individual interrupt vectors. Two
bytes of program memory space are reserved for each inter-
rupt vector. The two vectors are located at addresses 0xEC
to 0xEF Hex in the program memory space. The interrupts
can be individually enabled or disabled using Enable Trans-
mit Interrupt (ETI) and Enable Receive Interrupt (ERI) bits in
the ENUI register.
The interrupt from the Transmitter is set pending, and re-
mains pending, as long as both the TBMT and ETI bits are
set. To remove this interrupt, software must either clear the
ETI bit or write to the TBUF register (thus clearing the TBMT
bit).
The interrupt from the receiver is set pending, and remains
pending, as long as both the RBFL and ERI bits are set. To
remove this interrupt, software must either clear the ERI bit
or read from the RBUF register (thus clearing the RBFL bit).
Baud Clock Generation
The clock inputs to the transmitter and receiver sections of
the USART can be individually selected to come either from
an external source at the CKX pin (port L, pin L1) or from a
source selected in the PSR and BAUD registers. Internally,
the basic baud clock is created from the oscillator frequency
through a two-stage divider chain consisting of a 1–16 (in-
crements of 0.5) prescaler and an 11-bit binary counter. (
Fig-
ure 14
) The divide factors are specified through two read/
write registers shown in
Figure 15
. Note that the 11-bit Baud
Rate Divisor spills over into the Prescaler Select Register
(PSR). PSR is cleared upon reset.
As shown in
Table 3
, a Prescaler Factor of 0 corresponds to
NO CLOCK. NO CLOCK condition is the USART power
down mode where the USART clock is turned off for power
saving purpose. The user must also turn the USART clock
off when a different baud rate is chosen.
The correspondences between the 5-bit Prescaler Select
and Prescaler factors are shown in
Table 3
. There are many
ways to calculate the two divisor factors, but one particularly
effective method would be to achieve a 1.8432 MHz fre-
quency coming out of the first stage. The 1.8432 MHz pres-
caler output is then used to drive the software programmable
baud rate counter to create a 16x clock for the following baud
rates: 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600,
4800, 7200, 9600, 19200 and 38400
Table 4
. Other baud
rates may be created by using appropriate divisors. The 16x
clock is then divided by 16 to provide the rate for the serial
shift registers of the transmitter and receiver.

The entries in

assume a prescaler output of 1.8432
MHz. In the asynchronous mode the baud rate could be as high
as 625k.
As an example, considering the Asynchronous Mode and a
CKI clock of 4.608 MHz, the prescaler factor selected is:
4.608/1.8432 = 2.5
The 2.5 entry is available in
Table 3

caler output is then used with proper Baud Rate Divisor

Baud Clock Generation (Continued)
The divide by 16 is performed because in the asynchronous
mode, the input frequency to the USART is 16 times the
baud rate. The equation to calculate baud rates is given be-
low.
The actual Baud Rate may be found from:
BR = Fc/(16xNxP)
Where:
BR is the Baud Rate
Fc is the CKI frequency
N is the Baud Rate Divisor (
Table 4
).
P is the Prescaler Divide Factor selected by the value in the
Prescaler Select Register (
Table 3
)
Note: In the Synchronous Mode, the divisor 16 is replaced by two.
Example:
Asynchronous Mode:
Crystal Frequency = 5 MHz
Desired baud rate = 9600
Using the above equationNxPcanbecalculated first.
NxP=(5x10
6
)/(16 x 9600) = 32.552
Now 32.552 is divided by each Prescaler Factor (
Table 4
)to
obtain a value closest to an integer. This factor happens to
be 6.5 (P = 6.5).
N = 32.552/6.5 = 5.008 (N = 5)
The programmed value (from
Table 4
) should be 4 (N − 1).
Using the above values calculated for N and P:
BR=(5x10
6
)/(16x5x6.5) = 9615.384
% error = (9615.385 − 9600)/9600 = 0.16
Effect of HALT/IDLE
The USART logic is reinitialized when either the HALT or
IDLE modes are entered. This reinitialization sets the TBMT
flag and resets all read only bits in the USART control and
status registers. Read/Write bits remain unchanged. The
Transmit Buffer (TBUF) is not affected, but the Transmit Shift
register (TSFT) bits are set to one. The receiver registers
RBUF and RSFT are not affected.
The device will exit from the HALT/IDLE modes when the
Start bit of a character is detected at the RDX (L3) pin. This
feature is obtained by using the Multi-Input Wakeup scheme
provided on the device.
Before entering the HALT or IDLE modes the user program
must select the Wakeup source to be on the RDX pin. This
selection is done by setting bit 3 of WKEN (Wakeup Enable)
register. The Wakeup trigger condition is then selected to be
high to low transition. This is done via the WKEDG register
(Bit 3 is one.)
If the device is halted and crystal oscillator is used, the
Wakeup signal will not start the chip running immediately be-
cause of the finite start up time requirement of the crystal os-
cillator. The idle timer (T0) generates a fixed (256 t
C
) delay to
ensure that the oscillator has indeed stabilized before allow-
ing the device to execute code. The user has to consider this
delay when data transfer is expected immediately after exit-
ing the HALT mode.
Diagnostic
Bits CHL0 and CHL1 in the ENU register provide a loopback
feature for diagnostic testing of the USART. When these bits
are set to one, the following occur: The receiver input pin
(RDX) is internally connected to the transmitter output pin
(TDX); the output of the Transmitter Shift Register is “looped
back” into the Receive Shift Register input. In this mode,
data that is transmitted is immediately received. This feature
allows the processor to verify the transmit and receive data
paths of the USART.
Note that the framing format for this mode is the nine bit for-
mat; one Start bit, nine data bits, and 7/8, one or two Stop
bits. Parity is not generated or verified in this mode.
Attention Mode
The USART Receiver section supports an alternate mode of
operation, referred to as ATTENTION Mode. This mode of
operation is selected by the ATTN bit in the ENUR register.
The data format for transmission must also be selected as
having nine Data bits and either 7/8, one or two Stop bits.
The ATTENTION mode of operation is intended for use in
networking the device with other processors. Typically in
such environments the messages consists of device ad-
dresses, indicating which of several destinations should re-
ceive them, and the actual data. This Mode supports a
scheme in which addresses are flagged by having the ninth
bit of the data field set to a 1. If the ninth bit is reset to a zero
the byte is a Data byte.
While in ATTENTION mode, the USART monitors the com-
munication flow, but ignores all characters until an address
character is received. Upon receiving an address character,
the USART signals that the character is ready by setting the
RBFL flag, which in turn interrupts the processor if USART
Receiver interrupts are enabled. TheATTN bit is also cleared
automatically at this point, so that data characters as well as
address characters are recognized. Software examines the
contents of the RBUF and responds by deciding either to ac-
cept the subsequent data stream (by leaving theATTN bit re-
set) or to wait until the next address character is seen (by
setting the ATTN bit again).
Operation of the USARTTransmitter is not affected by selec-
tion of this Mode. The value of the ninth bit to be transmitted
is programmed by setting XBIT9 appropriately. The value of
the ninth bit received is obtained by reading RBIT9. Since
this bit is located in ENUR register where the error flags re-
side, a bit operation on it will reset the error flags.
Comparators
The device contains two differential comparators, each with
a pair of inputs (positive and negative) and an output. Ports
I1–I3 and I4–I6 are used for the comparators. The following
is the Port I assignment:
I6 Comparator2 output
I5 Comparator2 positive input
I4 Comparator2 negative input
I3 Comparator1 output
I2 Comparator1 positive input
I1 Comparator1 negative input
A Comparator Select Register (CMPSL) is used to enable
the comparators, read the outputs of the comparators inter-
nally, and enable the outputs of the comparators to the pins.
Two control bits (enable and output enable) and one result
bit are associated with each comparator. The comparator re-
sult bits (CMP1RD and CMP2RD) are read only bits which
will read as zero if the associated comparator is not enabled.
The Comparator Select Register is cleared with reset, result-
ing in the comparators being disabled. The comparators
COP888FH
www.national.com 26
Comparators (Continued)
should also be disabled before entering either the HALT or
IDLE modes in order to save power. The configuration of the
CMPSL register is as follows:
CMPSL REGISTER (ADDRESS X’00B7)
Rsvd CMP20E CMP2RD CMP2EN CMP10E CMP1RD CMP1EN Rsvd
Bit 7 Bit 0
The CMPSL register contains the following bits:
Rsvd These bit are reserved and must be zero
CMP20E Selects pin I6 as comparator 2 output provided
that CMP2EN is set to enable the comparator
CMP2RD Comparator 2 result (this is a read only bit, which
will read as 0 if the comparator is not enabled)
CMP2EN Enable comparator 2
CMP10E Selects pin I3 as comparator 1 output provided
that CMPIEN is set to enable the comparator
CMP1RD Comparator 1 result (this is a read only bit, which
will read as 0 if the comparator is not enabled)
CMP1EN Enable comparator 1
Note that the two unused bits of CMPSL may be used as
software flags.
Comparator outputs have the same spec as Ports L and G
except that the rise and fall times are symmetrical.
Multiply/Divide
This device contains a multiply/divide block. This block sup-
ports a 1 byte x 2 bytes (3 bytes result) multiply or a 3
bytes/2 bytes (2 bytes result) divide operation. The multiply
or divide operation is executed by setting control bits located
in the multiply/divide control register. The multiply or divide
operands must be placed into the appropriate memory
mapped locations before the operation is initiated.
CONTROL REGISTER BITS
Rsvd Rsvd Rsvd Rsvd Rsvd DIV DIV MULT

Bit 7 Bit 0
The Multiply/Divide control register (MDCR) is located at ad-
dress xx9D. It has the following bit assignments:

DIVOVF Division Overflow (if the result of a division is
greater than 16 bits or the user attempted to divide
by zero; 1 = error)
DIV Start Division Operation (1 = start)
MULT Start Multiplication Operation (1 = start)
After the appropriate MDR registers are loaded, the MULT
and DIV start bits are set by the user to start a multiply or di-
vide operation. The division operation has priority, if both bits
are set simultaneously. The MULT and DIV bits are BOTH
automatically cleared by hardware at the end of a divide or
multiply operation. Each division operation causes the
DIVOVF flag to be set/reset as appropriate. The DIVOVF
flag is cleared following a multiplication operation. DIVOVF
is a read-only bit. The MULT and DIV bits are read/writable.
Bits 3–7 in MDCR should not be used, as the MULT and DIV
operations will change their values.
MULTIPLY/DIVIDE OPERATION
For the multiply operation, the multiplicand is placed at ad-
dresses xx9B and xx9C. The multiplier is placed at address
xx99. For the divide operation, the dividend is placed at ad-
dresses xx98 to xx9A and the divisor is placed at addresses
xx9B to xx9C. In both operations, all operands are inter-
preted as unsigned values. The divide or multiply operation
is started by setting the appropriate MDCR bit. If both the
MULT and DIV bits are set, the microcontroller performs a di-
vide operation. (The user is not required to read or clear the
DIVOVF error bit prior to beginning a new multiply/divide op-
eration. This bit is ignored during subsequent operations.
However, the next divide operation will overwrite the error
flag as appropriate, and the next multiply operation will clear
it.)
The multiply operation requires 1 instruction cycle to com-
plete. The divide operation requires 2 instruction cycles to
complete. A divide by zero or a division which produces an
overflow requires only 1 instruction cycle to execute. The
MDR1 through MDR5 registers and the MDCR register can
not be read from or written to during a multiply or divide op-
eration. Any attempt to write in to these registers will be ig-
nored. Any attempt to read these registers will return unde-
fined data.
The result of a multiply is placed in addresses xx99–xx9B.
The result of a divide is placed in a ddresses xx98–xx99. If a
division by zero is attempted or if the resulting quotient of a
divide operation is more than 16 bits long, then the DIVOVF
bit is set in the multiply/divide control register. The dividend
and the divisor are left unchanged. The divide operation al-
ways causes the DIVOVF flag to be set or reset as appropri-
ate. The DIVOVF flag is cleared following a multiply opera-
tion.
RESET STATE
A reset signal applied to the device during normal operation
has the following affects:
MDCR is cleared, and any operation in progress is stopped.
MDR1 through MDR5 are undefined.

Interrupts
Introduction
Each device supports thirteen vectored interrupts. Interrupt
sources include Timer 0, Timer 1, Timer 2, Timer 3, Port L
Wakeup, Software Trap, MICROWIRE/PLUS, and External
Input.
All interrupts force a branch to location 00FF Hex in program
memory. The VIS instruction may be used to vector to the
appropriate service routine from location 00FF Hex.
The Software trap has the highest priority while the default
VIS has the lowest priority.
Each of the 13 maskable inputs has a fixed arbitration rank-
ing and vector.
Figure 16
shows the Interrupt Block diagram.

Interrupts (Continued)
MASKABLE INTERRUPTS
All interrupts other than the Software Trap are maskable.
Each maskable interrupt has an associated enable bit and
pending flag bit. The pending bit is set to 1 when the interrupt
condition occurs. The state of the interrupt enable bit, com-
bined with the GIE bit determines whether an active pending
flag actually triggers an interrupt. All of the maskable inter-
rupt pending and enable bits are contained in mapped con-
trol registers, and thus can be controlled by the software.
Amaskable interrupt condition triggers an interrupt under the
following conditions:
1. The enable bit associated with that interrupt is set.
2. The GIE bit is set.
3. The device is not processing a non-maskable interrupt.
(If a non-maskable interrupt is being serviced, a
maskable interrupt must wait until that service routine is
completed.)
An interrupt is triggered only when all of these conditions are
met at the beginning of an instruction. If different maskable
interrupts meet these conditions simultaneously, the highest
priority interrupt will be serviced first, and the other pending
interrupts must wait.
Upon Reset, all pending bits, individual enable bits, and the
GIE bit are reset to zero. Thus, a maskable interrupt condi-
tion cannot trigger an interrupt until the program enables it by
setting both the GIE bit and the individual enable bit. When
enabling an interrupt, the user should consider whether or
not a previously activated (set) pending bit should be ac-
knowledged. If, at the time an interrupt is enabled, any pre-
vious occurrences of the interrupt should be ignored, the as-
sociated pending bit must be reset to zero prior to enabling
the interrupt. Otherwise, the interrupt may be simply en-
abled; if the pending bit is already set, it will immediately trig-
ger an interrupt. A maskable interrupt is active if its associ-
ated enable and pending bits are set.
An interrupt is an asychronous event which may occur be-
fore, during, or after an instruction cycle. Any interrupt which
occurs during the execution of an instruction is not acknowl-
edged until the start of the next normally executed instruction
is to be skipped, the skip is performed before the pending in-
terrupt is acknowledged.
At the start of interrupt acknowledgment, the following ac-
tions occur:
1. The GIE bit is automatically reset to zero, preventing any
subsequent maskable interrupt from interrupting the cur-
rent service routine. This feature prevents one maskable
interrupt from interrupting another one being serviced.
2. The address of the instruction about to be executed is
pushed onto the stack.
3. The program counter (PC) is loaded with 00FF Hex,
causing a jump to that program memory location.
The device requires seven instruction cycles to perform the
actions listed above.
If the user wishes to allow nested interrupts, the interrupts
service routine may set the GIE bit to 1 by writing to the PSW
register, and thus allow other maskable interrupts to interrupt
the current service routine. If nested interrupts are allowed,
caution must be exercised. The user must write the program
in such a way as to prevent stack overflow, loss of saved
context information, and other unwanted conditions.
The interrupt service routine stored at location 00FF Hex
should use the VIS instruction to determine the cause of the
interrupt, and jump to the interrupt handling routine corre-
sponding to the highest priority enabled and active interrupt.
Alternately, the user may choose to poll all interrupt pending
and enable bits to determine the source(s) of the interrupt. If
more than one interrupt is active, the user’s program must
decide which interrupt to service.
Within a specific interrupt service routine, the associated
pending bit should be cleared. This is typically done as early
as possible in the service routine in order to avoid missing
the next occurrence of the same type of interrupt event.
Thus, if the same event occurs a second time, even while the
first occurrence is still being serviced, the second occur-
rence will be serviced immediately upon return from the cur-
rent interrupt routine.
An interrupt service routine typically ends with an RETI in-
struction. This instruction sets the GIE bit back to 1, pops the
address stored on the stack, and restores that address to the
program counter. Program execution then proceeds with the
next instruction that would have been executed had there
been no interrupt. If there are any valid interrupts pending,
the highest-priority interrupt is serviced immediately upon re-
turn from the previous interrupt.
VIS INSTRUCTION
The general interrupt service routine, which starts at address
00FF Hex, must be capable of handling all types of inter-
rupts. The VIS instruction, together with an interrupt vector
table, directs the device to the specific interrupt handling rou-
tine based on the cause of the interrupt.
VIS is a single-byte instruction, typically used at the very be-
ginning of the general interrupt service routine at address
00FF Hex, or shortly after that point, just after the code used
for context switching. The VIS instruction determines which
enabled and pending interrupt has the highest priority, and
causes an indirect jump to the address corresponding to that
interrupt source. The jump addresses (vectors) for all pos-
sible interrupts sources are stored in a vector table.
The vector table may be as long as 32 bytes (maximum of 16
vectors) and resides at the top of the 256-byte block contain-
ing the VIS instruction. However, if the VIS instruction is at
the very top of a 256-byte block (such as at 00FF Hex), the
vector table resides at the top of the next 256-byte block.
Thus, if the VIS instruction is located somewhere between
00FF and 01DF Hex (the usual case), the vector table is lo-
cated between addresses 01E0 and 01FF Hex. If the VIS in-
struction is located between 01FF and 02DF Hex, then the
vector table is located between addresses 02E0 and 02FF
Hex, and so on.
Each vector is 15 bits long and points to the beginning of a
specific interrupt service routine somewhere in the 32 kbyte
memory space. Each vector occupies two bytes of the vector
table, with the higher-order byte at the lower address. The
vectors are arranged in order of interrupt priority. The vector
of the maskable interrupt with the lowest rank is located to
0yE0 (higher-order byte) and 0yE1 (lower-order byte). The
next priority interrupt is located at 0yE2 and 0yE3, and so
forth in increasing rank. The Software Trap has the highest
rank and its vector is always located at 0yFE and 0yFF. The
number of interrupts which can become active defines the
size of the table.
Table 6
shows the types of interrupts, the interrupt arbitration
ranking, and the locations of the corresponding vectors in
the vector table.
The vector table should be filled by the user with the memory
locations of the specific interrupt service routines. For ex-
COP888FH
www.national.com29
Interrupts (Continued)
ample, if the Software Trap routine is located at 0310 Hex,
then the vector location 0yFE and -0yFF should contain the
data 03 and 10 Hex, respectively. When a Software Trap in-
terrupt occurs and the VIS instruction is executed, the pro-
gram jumps to the address specified in the vector table.
The interrupt sources in the vector table are listed in order of
rank, from highest to lowest priority. If two or more enabled
and pending interrupts are detected at the same time, the
one with the highest priority is serviced first. Upon return
from the interrupt service routine, the next highest-level
pending interrupt is serviced.
If the VIS instruction is executed, but no interrupts are en-
abled and pending, the lowest-priority interrupt vector is
used, and a jump is made to the corresponding address in
the vector table. This is an unusual occurrence, and may be
the result of an error. It can legitimately result from a change
in the enable bits or pending flags prior to the execution of
the VIS instruction, such as executing a single cycle instruc-
tion which clears an enable flag at the same time that the
pending flag is set. It can also result, however, from inadvert-
ent execution of the VIS command outside of the context of
an interrupt.
The default VIS interrupt vector can be useful for applica-
tions in which time critical interrupts can occur during the
servicing of another interrupt. Rather than restoring the pro-
gram context (A, B, X, etc.) and executing the RETI instruc-
tion, an interrupt service routine can be terminated by return-
ing to the VIS instruction. In this case, interrupts will be
serviced in turn until no further interrupts are pending and
the default VIS routine is started. After testing the GIE bit to
ensure that execution is not erroneous, the routine should
restore the program context and execute the RETI to return
to the interrupted program.
This technique can save up to fifty instruction cycles (t
c
), or
more, (50µs at 10 MHz oscillator) of latency for pending in-
terrupts with a penalty of fewer than ten instruction cycles if
no further interrupts are pending.
To ensure reliable operation, the user should always use the
VIS instruction to determine the source of an interrupt. Al-
though it is possible to poll the pending bits to detect the
source of an interrupt, this practice is not recommended. The
use of polling allows the standard arbitration ranking to be al-
tered, but the reliability of the interrupt system is compro-
mised. The polling routine must individually test the enable
and pending bits of each maskable interrupt. If a Software
Trap interrupt should occur, it will be serviced last, even
though it should have the highest priority. Under certain con-
ditions, a Software Trap could be triggered but not serviced,
resulting in an inadvertent “locking out” of all maskable inter-
rupts by the Software Trap pending flag. Problems such as
this can be avoided by using VIS instruction.

Note 22: y is a variable which represents the VIS block. VIS and the vector table must be located in the same 256-byte block except if VIS is located at the last ad-
dress of a block. In this case, the table must be in the next block.
VIS Execution
When the VIS instruction is executed it activates the arbitra-
tion logic. The arbitration logic generates an even number
between E0 and FE (E0, E2, E4, E6 etc...) depending on
which active interrupt has the highest arbitration ranking at
the time of the 1st cycle of VIS is executed. For example, if
the software trap interrupt is active, FE is generated. If the
external interrupt is active and the software trap interrupt is
not, then FAis generated and so forth. If the only active inter-
rupt is software trap, than E0 is generated. This number re-
places the lower byte of the PC. The upper byte of the PC re-
mains unchanged. The new PC is therefore pointing to the
vector of the active interrupt with the highest arbitration rank-
ing. This vector is read from program memory and placed
into the PC which is now pointed to the 1st instruction of the
service routine of the active interrupt with the highest arbitra-
tion ranking.

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

WATCHDOG
The device contains a WATCHDOG and clock monitor. The
WATCHDOG is designed to detect the user program getting
stuck in infinite loops resulting in loss of program control or
“runaway” programs. The Clock Monitor is used to detect the
absence of a clock or a very slow clock below a specified
rate on the CKI pin.
The WATCHDOG consists of two independent logic blocks:
WD UPPER and WD LOWER. WD UPPER establishes the
upper limit on the service window and WD LOWER defines
the lower limit of the service window.
Servicing the WATCHDOG consists of writing a specific
value to a WATCHDOG Service Register named WDSVR
which is memory mapped in the RAM. This value is com-
posed of three fields, consisting of a 2-bit Window Select, a
5-bit Key Data field, and the 1-bit Clock Monitor Select field.
Table 7
shows the WDSVR register.
The lower limit of the service window is fixed at 2048 instruc-
tion cycles. Bits 7 and 6 of the WDSVR register allow the
user to pick an upper limit of the service window.
Table 8
shows the four possible combinations of lower and
upper limits for the WATCHDOG service window. This flex-
ibility in choosing the WATCHDOG service window prevents
any undue burden on the user software.
Bits 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 of the WDSVR register represent the
5-bit Key Data field. The key data is fixed at 01100. Bit 0 of
the WDSVR Register is the Clock Monitor Select bit.

Clock Monitor
The Clock Monitor aboard the device can be selected or de-
selected under program control. The Clock Monitor is guar-
anteed not to reject the clock if the instruction cycle clock (1/
t
c
) is greater or equal to 10 kHz. This equates to a clock input
rate on CKI of greater or equal to 100 kHz.
WATCHDOG Operation
The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor are disabled during re-
set. The device comes out of reset with the WATCHDOG
armed, the WATCHDOG Window Select bits (bits 6, 7 of the
WDSVR Register) set, and the Clock Monitor bit (bit 0 of the
WDSVR Register) enabled. Thus, a Clock Monitor error will
occur after coming out of reset, if the instruction cycle clock
frequency has not reached a minimum specified value, in-
cluding the case where the oscillator fails to start.
The WDSVR register can be written to only once after reset
and the key data (bits 5 through 1 of the WDSVR Register)
must match to be a valid write. This write to the WDSVR reg-
ister involves two irrevocable choices: (i) the selection of the
WATCHDOG service window (ii) enabling or disabling of the
Clock Monitor. Hence, the first write to WDSVR Register in-
volves selecting or deselecting the Clock Monitor, select the
WATCHDOG service window and match the WATCHDOG
key data. Subsequent writes to the WDSVR register will
compare the value being written by the user to the WATCH-
DOG service window value and the key data (bits 7 through
1) in the WDSVR Register.
Table 9
shows the sequence of
events that can occur.
The user must service the WATCHDOG at least once before
the upper limit of the service window expires. The WATCH-
DOG may not be serviced more than once in every lower
limit of the service window. The user may service the
WATCHDOG as many times as wished in the time period be-
tween the lower and upper limits of the service window. The
first write to the WDSVR Register is also counted as a
WATCHDOG service.
The WATCHDOG has an output pin associated with it. This
is the WDOUT pin, on pin 1 of the port G. WDOUT is active
low. The WDOUTpin is in the high impedance state in the in-
active state. Upon triggering the WATCHDOG, the logic will
pull the WDOUT (G1) pin low for an additional 16 t
c
–32t
c
cycles after the signal level on WDOUT pin goes below the
lower Schmitt trigger threshold. After this delay, the device
will stop forcing the WDOUT output low.
The WATCHDOG service window will restart when the WD-
OUT pin goes high. It is recommended that the user tie the
WDOUT pin back to V
CC
through a resistor in order to pull
WDOUT high.
AWATCHDOG service while the WDOUT signal is active will
be ignored. The state of the WDOUT pin is not guaranteed
on reset, but if it powers up low then the WATCHDOG will
time out and WDOUT will enter high impedance state.
The Clock Monitor forces the G1 pin low upon detecting a
clock frequency error. The Clock Monitor error will continue
until the clock frequency has reached the minimum specified
value, after which the G1 output will enter the high imped-
ance TRI-STATE mode following 16 t
c
–32 t
c
clock cycles.
The Clock Monitor generates a continual Clock Monitor error
if the oscillator fails to start, or fails to reach the minimum
specified frequency. The specification for the Clock Monitor
is as follows:
1/t
c
>10 kHz—No clock rejection.
1/t
c
<10 Hz—Guaranteed clock rejection.
WATCHDOG AND CLOCK MONITOR SUMMARY
The following salient points regarding the WATCHDOG and
CLOCK MONITOR should be noted:
•Both the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONITOR detector
circuits are inhibited during RESET.
•Following RESET, the WATCHDOG and CLOCK MONI-
TOR are both enabled, with the WATCHDOG having he
maximum service window selected.
•The WATCHDOG service window and CLOCK MONI-
TOR enable/disable option can only be changed once,
during the initial WATCHDOG service following RESET.
COP888FH
www.national.com 34
WATCHDOG Operation (Continued)
•The initial WATCHDOG service must match the key data
value in the WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR in or-
der to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
•Subsequent WATCHDOG services must match all three
data fields in WDSVR in order to avoid WATCHDOG er-
rors.
•The correct key data value cannot be read from the
WATCHDOG Service register WDSVR. Any attempt to
read this key data value of 01100 from WDSVR will read
as key data value of all 0’s.
•The WATCHDOG detector circuit is inhibited during both
the HALT and IDLE modes.
•The CLOCK MONITOR detector circuit is active during
both the HALT and IDLE modes. Consequently, the de-
vice inadvertently entering the HALT mode will be de-
tected as a CLOCK MONITOR error (provided that the
CLOCK MONITOR enable option has been selected by
the program).
•With the single-pin R/C oscillator mask option selected
and the CLKDLY bit reset, the WATCHDOG service win-
dow will resume following HALT mode from where it left
off before entering the HALT mode.
•With the crystal oscillator mask option selected, or with
the single-pin R/C oscillator mask option selected and the
CLKDLY bit set, the WATCHDOG service window will be
set to its selected value from WDSVR following HALT.
Consequently, the WATCHDOG should not be serviced
for at least 2048 instruction cycles following HALT, but
must be serviced within the selected window to avoid a
WATCHDOG error.
•The IDLE timer T0 is not initialized with RESET.
•The user can sync in to the IDLE counter cycle with an
IDLE counter (T0) interrupt or by monitoring the T0PND
flag. The T0PND flag is set whenever the thirteenth bit of
the IDLE counter toggles (every 4096 instruction cycles).
The user is responsible for resetting the T0PND flag.
•A hardware WATCHDOG service occurs just as the de-
vice exits the IDLE mode. Consequently, the WATCH-
DOG should not be serviced for at least 2048 instruction
cycles following IDLE, but must be serviced within the se-
lected window to avoid a WATCHDOG error.
•Following RESET, the initial WATCHDOG service (where
the service window and the CLOCK MONITOR enable/
disable must be selected) may be programmed any-
where within the maximum service window (65,536 in-
struction cycles) initialized by RESET. Note that this initial
WATCHDOG service may be programmed within the ini-
tial 2048 instruction cycles without causing a WATCH-
DOG error.
Detection of Illegal Conditions
The device can detect various illegal conditions resulting
from coding errors, transient noise, power supply voltage
drops, runaway programs, etc.
Reading of undefined ROM gets zeros. The opcode for soft-
ware interrupt is zero. If the program fetches instructions
from undefined ROM, this will force a software interrupt, thus
signaling that an illegal condition has occurred.
The subroutine stack grows down for each call (jump to sub-
routine), interrupt, or PUSH, and grows up for each return or
POP. The stack pointer is initialized to RAM location 06F Hex
during reset. Consequently, if there are more returns than
calls, the stack pointer will point to addresses 070 and 071
Hex (which are undefined RAM). Undefined RAM from ad-
dresses 070 to 07F (Segment 0), 140 to 17F (Segment 1),
and all other segments (i.e., Segments 2 … etc.) is read as
all 1’s, which in turn will cause the program to return to ad-
dress 7FFF Hex. This is an undefined ROM location and the
instruction fetched (all 0’s) from this location will generate a
software interrupt signaling an illegal condition.
Thus, the chip can detect the following illegal conditions:
1. Executing from undefined ROM
2. Over “POP”ing the stack by having more returns than
calls.
When the software interrupt occurs, the user can re-initialize
the stack pointer and do a recovery procedure before restart-
ing (this recovery program is probably similar to that follow-
ing reset, but might not contain the same program initializa-
tion procedures). The recovery program should reset the
software interrupt pending bit using the RPND instruction.
MICROWIRE/PLUS
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a serial synchronous communications
interface. The MICROWIRE/PLUS capability enables the de-
vice to interface with any of National Semiconductor’s MI-
CROWIRE peripherals (i.e. A/D converters, display drivers,
E
2
PROMs etc.) and with other microcontrollers which sup-
port the MICROWIRE interface. It consists of an 8-bit serial
shift register (SIO) with serial data input (SI), serial data out-
put (SO) and serial shift clock (SK).
Figure 19
shows a block
diagram of the MICROWIRE/PLUS logic.
The shift clock can be selected from either an internal source
or an external source. Operating the MICROWIRE/PLUS ar-
rangement with the internal clock source is called the Master
mode of operation. Similarly, operating the MICROWIRE/
PLUS arrangement with an external shift clock is called the
Slave mode of operation.
The CNTRL register is used to configure and control the
MICROWIRE/PLUS mode. To use the MICROWIRE/PLUS,
the MSEL bit in the CNTRL register is set to one. In the mas-
ter mode, the SK clock rate is selected by the two bits, SL0
and SL1, in the CNTRLregister.
Table 10
details the different
clock rates that may be selected.

MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION
Setting the BUSY bit in the PSW register causes the
MICROWIRE/PLUS to start shifting the data. It gets reset
when eight data bits have been shifted. The user may reset
the BUSY bit by software to allow less than 8 bits to shift. If
enabled, an interrupt is generated when eight data bits have
been shifted. The device may enter the MICROWIRE/PLUS
mode either as a Master or as a Slave.
Figure 20
shows how
two devices, microcontrollers and several peripherals may
be interconnected using the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrange-
ments.
Warning:
The SIO register should only be loaded when the SK clock is
low. Loading the SIO register while the SK clock is high will
result in undefined data in the SIO register. SK clock is nor-
mally low when not shifting.
Setting the BUSY flag when the input SK clock is high in the
MICROWIRE/PLUS slave mode may cause the current SK
clock for the SIO shift register to be narrow. For safety, the
BUSY flag should only be set when the input SK clock is low.
MICROWIRE/PLUS Master Mode Operation
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Master mode of operation the
shift clock (SK) is generated internally by the device. The MI-
CROWIRE Master always initiates all data exchanges. The
MSEL bit in the CNTRL register must be set to enable the
SO and SK functions onto the G Port. The SO and SK pins
must also be selected as outputs by setting appropriate bits
in the Port G configuration register. Table VII summarizes the
bit settings required for Master mode of operation.
MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave Mode Operation
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave mode of operation the SK
clock is generated by an external source. Setting the MSEL
bit in the CNTRL register enables the SO and SK functions
onto the G Port. The SK pin must be selected as an input
and the SO pin is selected as an output pin by setting and re-
setting the appropriate bits in the Port G configuration regis-
ter. Table VII summarizes the settings required to enter the
Slave mode of operation.
The user must set the BUSY flag immediately upon entering
the Slave mode. This will ensure that all data bits sent by the
Master will be shifted properly. After eight clock pulses the
BUSY flag will be cleared and the sequence may be re-
peated.
Alternate SK Phase Operation
The device allows either the normal SK clock or an alternate
phase SK clock to shift data in and out of the SIO register. In
both the modes the SK is normally low. In the normal mode
data is shifted in on the rising edge of the SK clock and the
data is shifted out on the falling edge of the SK clock. The
SIO register is shifted on each falling edge of the SK clock.
In the alternate SK phase operation, data is shifted in on the
falling edge of the SK clock and shifted out on the rising edge
of the SK clock.
A control flag, SKSEL, allows either the normal SK clock or
the alternate SK clock to be selected. Resetting SKSEL
causes the MICROWIRE/PLUS logic to be clocked from the
normal SK signal. Setting the SKSEL flag selects the alter-
nate SK clock. The SKSEL is mapped into the G6 configura-
tion bit. The SKSEL flag will power up in the reset condition,
selecting the normal SK signal.

Addressing Modes
There are ten addressing modes, six for operand addressing
and four for transfer of control.
OPERAND ADDRESSING MODES
Register Indirect
This is the “normal” addressing mode. The operand is the
data memory addressed by the B pointer or X pointer.
Register Indirect (with auto post increment or
decrement of pointer)
This addressing mode is used with the LD and X instruc-
tions. The operand is the data memory addressed by the B
pointer or X pointer. This is a register indirect mode that au-
tomatically post increments or decrements the B or X regis-
ter after executing the instruction.
Direct
The instruction contains an 8-bit address field that directly
points to the data memory for the operand.
Immediate
The instruction contains an 8-bit immediate field as the oper-
and.
Short Immediate
This addressing mode is used with the Load B Immediate in-
struction. The instruction contains a 4-bit immediate field as
the operand.
Indirect
This addressing mode is used with the LAID instruction. The
contents of the accumulator are used as a partial address
(lower 8 bits of PC) for accessing a data operand from the
program memory.
TRANSFER OF CONTROL ADDRESSING MODES
Relative
This mode is used for the JP instruction, with the instruction
field being added to the program counter to get the new pro-
gram location. JP has a range from −31 to +32 to allow a
1-byte relative jump (JP + 1 is implemented by a NOP in-
struction). There are no “pages” when using JP, since all 15
bits of PC are used.
Absolute
This mode is used with the JMP and JSR instructions, with
the instruction field of 12 bits replacing the lower 12 bits of
the program counter (PC). This allows jumping to any loca-
tion in the current 4k program memory segment.
Absolute Long
This mode is used with the JMPLand JSRLinstructions, with
the instruction field of 15 bits replacing the entire 15 bits of
the program counter (PC). This allows jumping to any loca-
tion up to 32k program memory space.
Indirect
This mode is used with the JID instruction. The contents of
the accumulator are used as a partial address (lower 8 bits of
PC) for accessing a location in the program memory. The
contents of this program memory location serve as a partial
address (lower 8 bits of PC) for the jump to the next instruc-
tion.
Note: The VIS is a special case of the Indirect Transfer of Control addressing
mode, where the double byte vector associated with the interrupt is
transferred from adjacent addresses in the program memory into the
program counter (PC) in order to jump to the associated interrupt ser-
vice routine.

Instruction Execution Time
Most instructions are single byte (with immediate addressing
mode instructions taking two bytes).
Most single byte instructions take one cycle time to execute.
Skipped instructions require x number of cycles to be
skipped, where x equals the number of bytes in the skipped
instruction opcode.
See the BYTES and CYCLES per INSTRUCTION table for
details.
Bytes and Cycles per Instruction
The following table shows the number of bytes and cycles for
each instruction in the format of byte/cycle.

Mask Options
The mask programmable options are shown below. The op-
tions are programmed at the same time as the ROM pattern
submission.
OPTION 1: CLOCK CONFIGURATION
= 1 Crystal Oscillator(CKI/10)
G7 (CKO) is clock generator
output to crystal/resonator
CKI is the clock input
= 2 External (CKI/IO) CKO available as
G7 input
Crystal Oscillator (CKI/10)
= 3 Single-pin RC controlled
oscillator (CK1/10)
G7 is available as a HALT
restart and/or general
purpose input
OPTION 2: HALT
= 1 Enable HALT mode
= 2 Disable HALT mode
OPTION 3: BONDING OPTIONS
= 1 44-Pin PLCC
= 2 40-Pin DIP
= 3 N/A
= 4 28-Pin DIP
= 5 28-Pin SO
The chip can be driven by a clock input on the CKI input pin
which can be between DC and 10 MHz. The CKO output
clock is on pin G7 (if clock option = 1 has been selected).
The CKI input frequency is divided by 10 to produce the in-
struction cycle clock (1/t
c
).
