ADC.11 Modifications of ADM field while bit ADST = 0
The A/D converter may unintentionally start one auto scan single conversion sequence
when the following sequence of conditions is true:
1. the A/D converter has finished a fixed channel single conversion of an analog channel
n > 0 (i.e. contents of ADCON.ADCH = n during this conversion)
2. the A/D converter is idle (i.e. ADBSY = 0)
3. then the conversion mode in the ADC Mode Selection field ADM is changed to Auto
Scan Single (ADM = 10b) or Continuous (ADM = 11b) mode without setting bit ADST
= 1 with the same instruction
Under these conditions, the A/D converter will unintentionally start one auto scan single
conversion sequence, beginning with channel n-1, down to channel number 0.
When no interrupt or PEC is servicing the A/D Conversion Complete Interrupt, interrupt
request flag ADCIR will be set, and for n > 1 also the A/D Overrun Error interrupt request
flag will be set, unless the wait for ADDAT read mode had been selected. When
ADCON.ADWR = 1 (wait for ADDAT read), the converter will wait after 2 conversions
until ADDAT is read.
In case the channel number ADCH has been changed before or with the same
instruction which selected the auto scan mode, this channel number has no effect on the
unintended auto scan sequence (i.e. it is not used in this auto scan sequence).
Note:
When a conversion is already in progress, and then the configuration in register ADCON
is changed,
• the new conversion mode in ADM is evaluated after the current conversion
• the new channel number in ADCH and new status of bit ADST are evaluated after the
current conversion when a conversion in fixed channel conversion mode is in
progress, and after the current conversion sequence (i.e. after conversion of
channel 0) when a conversion in an auto scan mode is in progress.
In this case, it is a specified operational behaviour that channels n-1 .. 0 are converted
when ADM is changed to an auto scan mode while a fixed channel conversion of
channel n is in progress (see e.g. C164CI User's Manual, V1.0, p.18-4)
Workaround:
When an auto scan conversion is to be performed, always start the A/D converter with
the same instruction which sets the configuration in register ADCON.

Functional Problems
SSC.9 Data Transmission in Slave Mode
During data reception in slave mode of the SSC module, sporadically the shift clock
supplied by the external master on pin SCLK may not be properly recognized due to a
synchronization problem when all of the following conditions are true:
1. the latching edge for the serial data is the falling edge of SCLK (i.e. both bit
SSCPO = 1 and bit SSCPH = 1, or SSCPO = 0 and SSCPH = 0 in register SSCCON),
and
2. the transmit buffer SSCTB of the slave has not been written prior to the start of the
reception (initiated by the master asserting the shift clock SCLK), and
3. a specific time window (phase delay) is hit by the serial shift clock SCLK in relation to
the internal system clock of the slave. Therefore, this synchronization problem will
occur in particular when the slave device is clocked (on XTAL1) by an external clock
generation circuit which is independent from the clock generation circuit of the master
(i.e. slave and master clocks are asynchronous).
When the problem occurs, this results in missing bits in the character received in
SSCTB, and in duplicated bits in the character transmitted on pin MRST of the slave. As
a consequence, interrupt generation in the slave is delayed by the number of missed
bits.
Workaround
For systems using the falling edge of SCLK as latching edge (see condition 1. above),
always write to the transmit buffer SSCTB prior to any reception in slave mode of the
SSC module. For the second and all following characters, e.g. write a (dummy) character
to SSCTB in the receive interrupt routine, or use a PEC transfer triggered by the transmit
interrupt request to write to SSCTB. In this case, the critical synchronization path is not
used, and the problem will not occur.
CAN.7 Unexpected Remote Frame Transmission
Symptom:
The on-chip CAN module may send an unexpected remote frame with the identifier = 0,
when a pending transmit request of a message object is disabled by software.
Detailed Description:
There are three possibilities to disable a pending transmit request of a message object
(n = 1..14):
• Set CPUUPDn element
• Reset TXRQn element
C164CI-8E, Step ES-DA, DA
6/28
es, V1.7, 2005-03-21
Errata Sheet
Functional Problems
• Reset MSGVALn element
Either of these actions will prevent further transmissions of message object n.
The symptom described above occurs when the CPU accesses CPUUPD, TXRQ or
MSGVAL, while the pending transmit request of the corresponding message object is
transferred to the CAN state machine (just before start of frame transmission). At this
particular time the transmit request is transferred to the CAN state machine before the
CPU prevents transmission. In this case the transmit request is still accepted from the
CAN state machine. However the transfer of the identifier, the data length code and the
data of the corresponding message object is prevented. Then the pre-charge values of
the internal "hidden buffer" are transmitted instead, this causes to a remote frame
transmission with identifier = 0 (11 bit) and data length code = 0.
This behavior occurs only when the transmit request of message object n is pending and
the transmit requests of other message objects are not active (single transmit request).
If this remote frame loses arbitration (to a data frame with identifier = 0) or if it is disturbed
by an error frame, it is not retransmitted.
Effects to other CAN nodes in the network:
The effect leads to delays of other pending messages in the CAN network due to the high
priority of the Remote Frame. Furthermore the unexpected remote frame can trigger
other data frames depending on the CAN node's configuration.
Workarounds:
• The behavior can be avoided if a message object is not updated by software when a
transmission of the corresponding message object is pending (TXRQ element is set)
and the CAN module is active (INIT = 0). If a re-transmission of a message (e.g. after
lost arbitration or after the occurrence of an error frame) needs to be cancelled, the
TXRQ element should be cleared by software as soon as NEWDAT is reset from the
CAN module.
• The nodes in the CAN system ignore the remote frame with the identifier = 0 and no
data frame is triggered by this remote frame.
CAN.9 Contents of Message Objects and Mask of Last Message Registers after
Reset
After any reset, the contents of the CAN Message Objects and the Mask of Last
Message Registers may be undefined instead of unaffected (reset value 'X' instead
of 'U').

es, V1.7, 2005-03-21
Errata Sheet
Functional Problems
This problem depends on temperature and the length of the reset, and differs from
device to device. The problem is more likely to occur at high temperature and for long
hardware resets (> 100 ms).
Workaround:
Re-initialize the CAN module after each reset.
CAPCOM6.4 Spike when enabling alternate Port Function
When switching a port from I/O mode to compare mode during the low state of the PWM
by setting bits in register CC6MSEL, a spike is generated for one TCL before the PMW
signal starts.
Workaround:
When the port configuration is changed during the high phase of the compare output the
spike is suppressed. Two different interrupts can be used for this synchronization
depending on the initial value bits in the register CC6MCON (CCxI and COUTxI
represent the passive output level for the enabled compare channels). The first high
phase of the PWM signal is delayed by the corresponding interrupt latency and the
execution time of the necessary instructions:
• If the initial value is 0, the compare interrupt service routine switches the port to
compare output. So the spike is pushed in the high phase of the PWM.
• If the initial value is 1, the Timer 12 period match interrupt service routine switches the
port to compare mode with the same result.
X9 Read Access to XPERs in Visible Mode
The data of a read access to an XBUS-Peripheral (CAN) in Visible Mode
(SYSCON.1 = 1) is not driven to the external bus. PORT0 is tristated during such read
accesses.
Note that in Visible Mode PORT1 will drive the address for an access to an XBUSPeripheral, even when only a multiplexed external bus is enabled.

OTP.8 Programming Voltage V PP and Supply Voltage VDD
To guarantee a proper internal OTP programming the tolerances for supply voltage VDD
and programming voltage VPP are reduced.
The following values have been successfully tested and can be recommended:
Supply Voltage VDD
4.35V - 4.65V
Programming Voltage VPP
11.35V - 11.65V
4.85V - 5.15V
11.8V - 12.1V
Application Hints:
• Devices formerly programmed with these recommended values can be used without
restriction.
• Software for OTP programming tools should be adapted to one of these recommended values
(VDD = 4.85V - 5.15V and VPP = 11.8 - 12.1V can still be used after the problem is
fixed in the future).
CPU.22 Z Flag after PUSH and PCALL
The Z flag in the PSW is erroneously set to '1' by PUSH reg or PCALL reg, rel

a) for PUSH reg instructions:
• the contents of the high byte of the GPR or (E)SFR which is pushed is 00H, and
• the contents of the low byte of the GPR or (E)SFR which is pushed is > 00H, and
• the contents of GPR Rx is odd, where x = 4 msbs of the 8-bit 'reg' address of the
pushed GPR or (E)SFR

This may lead to wrong results of instructions following PUSH or PCALL if those
instructions explicitly (e.g. BMOV .. , Z; JB Z, ..; ..) or implicitly (e.g. JMP cc_Z, ..; JMP
cc_NET, ..; ..) evaluate the status of the Z flag before it is newly updated.
Note: Some instructions (e.g. CALL, ..) have no effect on the status flags, such that the
status of the Z flag remains incorrect after a PUSH/PCALL instruction until an
instruction that correctly updates the Z flag is executed.
Example:
PUSH
R1
CALL
proc_xyz
...
...
proc_xyz:
JMP
cc_Z,end_xyz
...
end_xyz:
; incorrect setting of Z flag if R15 is odd
; Z flag remains unchanged
; (is a parameter for proc_xyz)
; Z flag evaluated with incorrect setting
Effect on Tools:
• The Hightec C166 tools (all versions) don't use the combination of PUSH/PCALL and
the evaluation of the Z flag. Therefore, these tools are not affected.
• The code generated by the Keil C166 Compiler evaluates the Z flag only after MOV,
CMP, arithmetic, or logical instructions. It is never evaluated after a PUSH instruction.
PCALL instructions are not generated by the C166 Compiler.
This has been checked with all C166 V3.xx and V4.xx compiler versions. Even the
upcoming V5.xx is not affected by the CPU.22 problem.
The assembler portions of the C166 V3.xx and V4.xx Run-Time Libraries, the RTX166
Full and TX166 Tiny Real Time Operating system do also not contain any evaluation
of the Z flag after PUSH or PCALL.
• The TASKING compiler V7.5r2 never generates a PCALL instruction, nor is it used in
the libraries.
The PUSH instruction is only used in the entry of an interrupt frame, and sometimes
on exit of normal functions. The zero flag is not a parameter or return value, so this
does not give any problems.

Previous versions of TASKING tools:
V3.x and higher are not affected, versions before 3.x are most likely not affected.
Contact TASKING when using versions before V3.x.
Since code generated by the C166 compiler versions mentioned before is not
affected, analysis and workarounds are only required for program parts written in
assembler, or instruction sequences inserted via inline assembly.
Workaround (for program parts written in assembler):
Do not evaluate the status of the Z flag generated by a PUSH or PCALL instruction.
Instead, insert an instruction that correctly updates the PSW flags, e.g.
PUSH
CMP
JMPR
reg
reg, #0
; note:
; CMP additionally modifies the C and V flags,
; while PUSH or MOV leaves them unaffected
cc_Z, label_1; implicitly tests Z flag
or
PCALL reg, procedure_1
...
procedure_1:
MOV
ONES, reg
JMPR
cc_NET, label_1 ; implicitly tests flags Z and E
Hints for Detection of Critical Instruction Combinations
Whether or not an instruction following PUSH reg or PCALL reg, rel actually causes a
problem depends on the program context.
In most cases, it will be sufficient to just analyze the instruction following PUSH or
PCALL. In case of PCALL, this is the instruction at the call target address.

Individual Analysis of Assembler Source Code
With respect to problem CPU.22, all instructions of the C166 instruction set can be
classified into the following groups:
• Arithmetic/logic/data movement instructions as successors of PUSH/PCALL
(correctly) modify the condition flags in the PSW according to the result of the
operation.
These instructions may only cause a problem if the PSW is a source or source/
destination operand:
ADD/B, ADDC/B, CMP/B, CMPD1/2, CMPI1/2, SUB/B, SUBC/B
AND/B, OR/B, XOR/B
ASHR
MOV/B, MOVBZ/MOVBS
SCXT
PUSH, PCALL ! analysis must be repeated for successor of PUSH/PCALL
• The following instructions (most of them with immediate or register (Rx) addressing
modes) can never cause a problem:
CPL/B, NEG/B
DIV/U, DIVL/U, MUL/U
SHL/SHR, ROL/ROR
PRIOR
POP
RETI
! updates complete PSW with stacked value
RETP
! updates condition flags
PWRDN ! program restarts after reset
SRST
! program restarts
• Conditional branch instructions which may evaluate the Z flag:
JB/JNB Z, rel ; directly evaluates Z flag
CALLA/CALLI, JMPA/JMPI/JMPR with the following condition codes
cc_Z, cc_EQ, cc_NZ, cc_NE
cc_ULE, cc_UGT, cc_SLE, cc_SGT

! For these branch conditions, the branch may be performed in the wrong way.
! For other branch conditions, the branch target as well as the linear successor of
the branch instruction must be analyzed (since these branch instruction don't modify
the PSW flags).
• For instructions that have no effect on the condition flags and that don't evaluate
the Z flag, the instruction that follows this instruction must be analyzed.
These instructions are:
NOP
ATOMIC, EXTxx
DISWDT, EINIT, IDLE, SRVWDT
CALLR, CALLS, JMPS

be incorrect in PSW on stack as well as in PSW at entry of trap routine
• For bit modification instructions, the problem may only occur if a source bit is the
Z flag, and/or the destination bit is in the PSW, but not the Z flag.

PWRDN.1 Execution of PWRDN Instruction while pin NMI = high
When instruction PWRDN is executed while pin NMI is at a high level, power down mode
should not be entered, and the PWRDN instruction should be ignored. However, under
the conditions described below, the PWRDN instruction may not be ignored, and no
further instructions are fetched from external memory, i.e. the CPU is in a quasi-idle
state. This problem will only occur in the following situations:
a) the instructions following the PWRDN instruction are located in external memory, and
a multiplexed bus configuration with memory tristate waitstate (bit MTTCx = 0) is used, or
b) the instruction preceeding the PWRDN instruction writes to external memory or an
XPeripheral (e.g. CAN or XRAM), and the instructions following the PWRDN instruction

are located in external memory. In this case, the problem will occur for any bus
configuration.
Note: The on-chip peripherals are still working correctly, in particular the Watchdog
Timer will reset the device upon an overflow. Interrupts and PEC transfers,
however, can not be processed. In case NMI is asserted low while the device is in
this quasi-idle state, power down mode is entered.
Workaround:
Ensure that no instruction which writes to external memory or an XPeripheral preceeds
the PWRDN instruction, otherwise insert e.g. a NOP instruction in front of PWRDN.
When a muliplexed bus with memory tristate waitstate is used, the PWRDN instruction
should be executed out of internal RAM.

This problem may occur when all of the following conditions are met at the same time:

oscillator (input XTAL1) will be switched off, i.e.
a) with RTC and oscillator to be stopped (SYSCON1 bitfield SLEEPCON = 11B), or
b) only for devices with XTAL3 input:
with RTC running and supplied by the clock from XTAL3 (SYSCON1 bitfield
SLEEPCON = 01B and SYSCON2 bit RCS = 1)

2. the IDLE instruction to enter sleep mode has been executed, i.e. the main oscillator is
in the oscillator decay time (typically ~ 160 µs decay time for a 16 MHz crystal, ~ 2 µs
for a 16 MHz ceramic resonator)
3. the external wake up trigger signal (fast external interrupt or signal on pin NMI)
coincides with the critical time window (tCRIT) of each oscillator cycle during the decay
time of the clock signal at pin XTAL1 (critical times shown in red in figure)
In this case the clock system may get blocked but the internal program memory module
becomes enabled. IDDI rises up to IPDR ... 3 mA with main oscillator.
The watchdog timer - stopped in sleep mode - cannot restart the system. Only HW reset
restarts the system properly.
The problem occurs only in the decay time of the main oscillator and in a very small
window around the clock edge at XTAL1 (tCRIT is about 5 ps wide).
The following formula shows a risk calculation for an asynchronous (random) wake up
event at any time within a 100 ms sleep period (16 MHz crystal/resonator):
PLock-Up = PSensitive Device* PCritical Wake-Up-Event
PLock-Up = 5 ps (critical window) / 62500 ps (one 16 MHz oscillator period)
* 160 µs (typical crystal decay time) / 100000 µs (wake up after 100 ms)
PLock-Up = 5 / 62500 * 160 / 100000 = 0.000'000'13
= 0.13 failure events per 1 million random wake up events (for a 16 MHz crystal)
The decay time of a resonator circuit is below 2 µs typically:
PLock-Up (resonator) = 5 / 62500 * 2 / 100000 = 0.000'000'001’6
= 0.0016 failure events per 1 million random wake up events
(for a 16 MHz resonator)
Note: A cyclic wake up event would never cause the problem as it happens well after
entry into sleep mode and after the decay time.
Workarounds:
• Select RTC on in sleep mode (SYSCON1.SLEEPCON = 01B).
For devices with auxiliary oscillator (e.g. C161CS), select main oscillator as clock
source (SYSCON2.RCS = 0).
• Avoid a wake up during the main oscillator decay time

SSC.H1 Handling of the SSC Busy Flag (SSCBSY)
In master mode of the High-Speed Synchronous Serial Interface (SSC), when register
SSCTB has been written, flag SSCBSY is set to '1' when the baud rate generator
generates the next internal clock pulse. The maximum delay between the time SSCTB
has been written and flag SSCBSY=1 is up to 1/2 bit time. SSCBSY is cleared 1/2 bit
time after the last latching edge.
When polling flag SSCBSY after SSCTB has been written, SSCBSY may not yet be set
to '1' when it is tested for the first time (in particular at lower baud rates). Therefore, e.g.
the following alternative methods are recommended:
• test flag SSCRIR (receive interrupt request) instead of SSCBSY (in case the receive
interrupt request is not serviced by CPU interrupt or PEC), e.g.
loop: BCLR SSCRIR
;clear receive interrupt request flag
MOV SSCTB, #xyz
;send character
wait_tx_complete:
JNB SSCRIR, wait_tx_complete ;test SSCRIR
JB SSCBSY, wait_tx_complete
;test SSCBSY to achieve original
;timing (SSCRIR may be set 1/2 bit
;time before SSCBSY is cleared)
• use a software semaphore bit which is set when SSCTB is written and is cleared in
the SSC receive interrupt routine
SSC.H2 Timing of flag SSCTIR (SSC Transmit Interrupt Request)
In master mode, the timing of SSCTIR is as follows:
When SSCTB has been written while the transmit shift register was empty (and the SSC
is enabled), flag SSCTIR is set to '1' directly after completion of the write operation,
independent of the selected baud rate. When the transmit shift register is not empty
when SSCTB was written, SSCTIR is set to '1' after the last latching edge of SCLK (= 1/
2 bit time before the first shifting edge of the next character). See also e.g. C167CR
User's Manual V3.1, p. 12-5.
The following diagram shows these relations in an example for a data transfer in master
mode with SSCPO = 0 and SSCPH = 0. It is assumed that the transmit shift register is
empty at the time the first character is written to SSCTB:

SSCTB Timing
Typically, in interrupt driven systems, no problems are expected from the modified timing
of flag SSCTIR. However, when flag SSCTIR is polled by software in combination with
other flags which are set/cleared at the end or at the beginning of a transfer (e.g.
SSCBSY), the modified timing may have an effect.
Another situation where a different system behaviour may be noticed is the case when
only one character is transferred by the PEC into the transmit buffer register SSCTB. In
this case, 2 interrupt requests from SSCTIR are expected: the 'PEC COUNT = 0'
interrupt, and the 'SSCTB empty' interrupt:
When the PEC transfer is performed with sufficient margin to the next clock tick from the
SSC baud rate generator, and no higher priority interrupt request has occurred in the
meantime, the 'PEC COUNT = 0' interrupt will be acknowledged before the 'SSCTB
empty' interrupt request is generated, i.e. two interrupts will occur based on these
events. However, when the PEC transfer takes place relatively close before the next
clock tick from the SSC baud rate generator, or a higher priority interrupt request has
occurred while the PEC transfer is performed, the 'PEC COUNT = 0' interrupt may not
be acknowledged before the 'SSCTB empty' interrupt request is generated, such that
effectively only one interrupt request will be generated for two different events.
In order to achieve a defined and systematic behavior with all device steps, the SSC
receive interrupt, which is generated at the end of a character transmission, may be used
instead of the SSC transmit interrupt.

EMUL.H1 Adapt Mode setting for emulation of devices in Single Chip Mode
In Adapt Mode all target device pins are in high impedance state. This mode is mainly
used for deactivation of the soldered device while an emulator probe is connected. In
single chip mode (EA = 1) Adapt Mode can not be selected via PORT0 (P0L.1) during
reset, because PORT0 is not evaluated in this mode.
Recommendation:
• use no target device or a dummy device (package without silicon on the PCB) for
emuation or
• use the target device on the PCB and:
– provide a possibility to set target device pins EA and P0L.1 to "0" during reset (now
the adapt mode is enabled on the target device) and
– disconnect pin EA from the emulator probe and
– set the EA pin on the emulator-probe to "1" to configure the emulator in single chip
mode.

OTP.H1 OTP Read access in CHM Mode delivers Zeros only
In CHM mode the ROM-bus interface has no access to OTP (the OTP module is in a

BSL.H1 Bootstrap Loader: Baudrate Detection in Single Chip Boot Mode
In single chip boot mode (Pin EA = 1) the bootstrap loader mode is detected during
hardware reset when pin RD is tied to low.
In this mode fCPU = fOSC / 2 (default configuration) and can be controlled via register
RSTCON. In case of a desired PLL mode (e.g. with a PLL factor of 5), fCPU in bootstrap
loader mode is 10 times slower than in normal running mode. So a communication with
an external host starts with a baudrate related to fCPU = fOSC / 2. It is recommended to
establish a 2nd level loader which adapts fCPU and baudrate to a convenient
transmission rate.
MainOsc.H1 Main Oscillator Type_LP2: Negative Resistance and Start-up

Compared to other C16x microcontrollers the gain of the on-chip oscillator (Type_LP2)

reliability of the oscillator circuit in the original application. Please refer to the limits
specified by the quartz crystal or ceramic resonator supplier.

ISNC.H1 Maintenance of ISNC register
The RTC and PLL interrupts share one interrupt node (XP3IC). If an interrupt request

INT.D1 Data Sheet V2.0, 2001-05 - Special Function Registers Overview
In contrast to Table 7 (Data Sheet V2.0, page 33...) the following CCxIC registers are
not implemented:
CC20IC, CC21IC, CC22IC, CC23IC, CC28IC, CC29IC, CC30IC and CC31IC. See also
Table 3 C164CI Interrupt Nodes (page 17).
PLL.D1 PLL goes to Unlocked State after Configuration
When the PLL is (re-)configured via software by writing to register RSTCON, the PLL
goes to an unlocked state first (CLKLOCK = SYSCON2.15 = 0) and the PLL interrupt
request is set (flag PLLIR = ISNC.3 = 1) in the following cases:
• SW configuration of a PLL mode after single chip mode reset (pin EA is High) when a
PLL configuration is selected in bitfield CLKCFG (RSTCON.15 … 13), i.e. all
selections except 001B and 011B.
• SW re-configuration of a PLL mode in bitfield CLKCFG (RSTCON.15 … 13), i.e. all
selections except 001B and 011B.
When the PLL is locked again, bit CLKLOCK (SYSCON2.15) is set.
A re-configuration of register RSTCON with the same CLKCFG setting does not
influence the PLL.
In direct drive and prescaler mode (bitfield CLKCFG = RSTCON.15 … 13 = 001B or
011B) the PLL cannot lock and bit CLKLOCK in register SYSCON2 remains cleared.
Note: If PLLIR is set directly after reset the clock system is running on PLL base
frequency (or PLL base frequency / 2) and fOSC is missing or was unstable during
reset. Switching to SDD mode in this state could stop the system.
To avoid an unintentional PLL interrupt during this SW configuration of RSTCON, it is
recommended to disable the PLL interrupt while the PLL is in unlocked state.
The example program for PLL modes shown below assumes that instruction EINIT has
not been executed yet. After EINIT, unlock sequences must be used to change RSTCON
and SYSCON2.
To avoid a deadlock situation, the wait_for_CLKLOCK loop should be terminated after a
timeout (before the WDT reset occurs).
