Operating Modes
The EM6521 has two low power dissipation modes, standby and sleep.
these modes.
2.1
Figure 4 is a transition diagram for
108H
Active Mode
The active mode is the actual CPU running mode. Instructions are read from the internal ROM and executed by
the CPU. Leaving active mode via the halt instruction to go into standby mode, the Sleep bit write to go into
Sleep mode or a reset from port A to go into reset mode.
2.2
Standby Mode
Executing a halt instruction puts the EM6521
into standby mode. The voltage regulator,
oscillator, watchdog timer, LCD, interrupts,
timers and counters are operating. However,
the CPU stops since the clock related to
instruction execution stops. Registers, RAM
and I/O pins retain their states prior to
standby mode. Standby is canceled by a
reset or an interrupt request if enabled.

Sleep
Writing to the Sleep bit in the RegSysCntl1
register puts the EM6521 in sleep mode.
Reset=1
Reset=1
The oscillator stops and most functions of
the EM6521 are inactive. To be able to write
to the Sleep bit, the SleepEn bit in
Reset
RegSysCntl2 must first be set to "1". In
sleep mode only the voltage regulator and
the reset input are active. The RAM data
integrity is maintained. Sleep mode may be canceled only by a high level of min 10µs at the EM6521 Reset
terminal or by the selected port A input reset combination, if option InpResSleep is turned on.
Due to the cold-start characteristics of the oscillator, waking up from sleep mode may take some time to
guarantee stable oscillation. During sleep mode and the following start up the EM6521 is in reset state. Waking
up from sleep clears the Sleep flag but not the SleepEn bit. Inspecting the SleepEn allows to determine if the
EM6521 was powered up (SleepEn = "0") or woken up from sleep (SleepEn = "1").

Power Supply
The EM6521 is supplied by a single external power supply between VDD (VBAT) and VSS (Ground). A built-in
voltage regulator generates Vreg providing regulated voltage for the oscillator and the internal logic. The output
drivers are supplied directly from the external supply VDD. The internal power configuration is shown below in
Figure 5.

All reset sources activate the System Reset and the Reset CPU. The ‘System Reset Delay’ ensures that the
system reset remains active long enough for all system functions to be reset (active for n system clock cycles).
The ‘CPU Reset Delay’ ensures that the reset CPU remains active until the oscillator is in stable oscillation.
As well as activating the system reset and the reset CPU, the POR also resets all option registers and the
sleep enable (SleepEn) latch. System reset and reset CPU do not reset the option registers nor the SleepEn
latch.
Reset state can be shown on Strobe terminal by selecting StrobeOutSel1,0 = 0 in RegLcdCntl1.

Oscillation Detection Circuit
At power on, the voltage regulator starts to follow the supply voltage and triggers the power on reset circuitry,
and thus the system reset. The CPU of the EM6521 remains in the reset state for the ‘CPU Reset Delay’, to
allow the oscillator to stabilize after power up.
The oscillator is disabled during sleep mode. So when waking up from sleep mode, the CPU of the EM6521
remains in the reset state for the CPU Reset Delay, to allow the oscillator to stabilize. During this time, the
Oscillation Detection Circuit is inhibited.
In active or standby modes, the oscillator detection circuit monitors the oscillator. If it stops for any reason, a
system reset is generated. After clock restart the CPU waits for the CPU Reset Delay before executing the first
instructions.
The oscillation detection circuitry can be inhibited with bit NoOscWD = 1 in register RegVldCntl. At power up,
and after any system reset, the function is activated.
The ‘CPU Reset Delay’ is 32768 system clocks ( Ck[16] ) long.
4.2
Reset Terminal
During active or standby modes the Reset terminal has a debouncer to reject noise. Reset must therefore be
active for at least 16 ms (system clock = 32 KHz).
When canceling sleep mode, the debouncer is not active (no clock), however, reset passes through an
analogue filter with a time constant of typical. 5µs. In this case Reset pin must be high for at least 10 µs to
generate a system reset.
4.3
Input Port A Reset Function
By writing the OptInpRSel1 and OptInpRSel2 registers it is possible to choose any combination of port A input
values to execute a system reset. The reset condition must be valid for at least 16ms (system clock = 32kHz) in
active and standby mode.
OPTInpRSleep selects the input port A reset function in sleep mode. If set to "1" the occurrence of the selected
combination for input port A reset will immediately trigger a system reset (no debouncer) .
Reset combination selection (InpReset) is done with registers OptInpRSel1 and OptInpRSel2.
Following formula is applicable :
InpResPA = InpResPA[0] • InpResPA[1] • InpResPA[2] • InpResPA[3]

Digital Watchdog Timer Reset
The digital watchdog is a simple, non-programmable, 2-bit timer, that counts on each rising edge of Ck[1]. It will
generate a system reset if it is not periodically cleared. The watchdog timer function can be inhibited by
activating an inhibit digital watchdog bit (NoLogicWD) located in RegVldCntl. At power up, and after any
system reset, the watchdog timer is activated.
If for any reason the CPU stops, then the watchdog timer can detect this situation and activate the system reset
signal. This function can be used to detect program overrun, endless loops, etc. For normal operation, the
watchdog timer must be reset periodically by software at least every 2.5 seconds (system clock = 32 KHz), or a
system reset signal is generated.
The watchdog timer is reset by writing a ‘1’ to the WDReset bit in the timer. This resets the timer to zero and
timer operation restarts immediately. When a ‘0’ is written to WDReset there is no effect. The watchdog timer
operates also in the standby mode and thus, to avoid a system reset, one should not remain in standby mode
for more than 2.5 seconds.
From a system reset state, the watchdog timer will become active after 3.5 seconds. However, if the watchdog
timer is influenced from other sources (i.e. prescaler reset), then it could become active after just 2.5 seconds.
It is therefore recommended to use the Prescaler IRQHz1 interrupt to periodically reset the watchdog every
second.
It is possible to read the current status of the watchdog timer in RegSysCntl2. After watchdog reset, the
counting sequence is (on each rising edge of CK[1]) : ‘00’, ‘01’, ‘10’, ‘11’ {WDVal1 WDVal0}. When going into
the ‘11’ state, the watchdog reset will be active within ½ second. The watchdog reset activates the system
reset which in turn resets the watchdog. If the watchdog is inhibited it’s timer is reset and therefore always
reads ‘0’.

Oscillator and Prescaler
Oscillator
A built-in crystal oscillator generates the system operating clock for the CPU and peripheral blocks, from an
externally connected crystal (typically 32.768kHz). The oscillator circuit is supplied by the regulated voltage,
Vreg. In sleep mode the oscillator is stopped.
EM’s special design techniques guarantee the low current consumption of this oscillator. The external
impedance between the oscillator pads must be greater than 10MOhm. Connection of any other components to
the two oscillator pads must be confirmed by EM Microelectronic-Marin SA.
5.2
Prescaler
The prescaler consists of fifteen elements divider chain which delivers clock signals for the peripheral circuits
such as timer/counter, buzzer, LCD voltage multiplier, debouncer and edge detectors, as well as generating
prescaler interrupts. The input to the prescaler is the system clock signal. Power on initializes the prescaler to
Hex(0001).

Port A
The EM6521 has one four bit general purpose CMOS input port. The port A input can be read at any time,
internal pull-up or pull-down resistors can be chosen by metal mask (for ROM version only). All selections
concerning port A are bit-wise executable. I.e. Pull-up on PA[2], pull-down on PA[0], positive IRQ edge on
PA[0] but negative on PA[1], etc.
In sleep mode the port A pull-up or pull-down resistors are turned off, and the inputs are deactivated except if
the InpResSleep bit in the option register OPTFSel is set to 1. In this case the port A inputs are continuously
monitored to match the input reset condition which will immediately wake the EM6521 from sleep mode (all pull
resistors remain).

6.2.1 IRQ on Port A
For interrupt request generation (IRQ) one can choose direct or debouncer input and positive or negative edge
IRQ triggering. With the debouncer selected ( OPTDebIntPA ) the input must be stable for two rising edges of
the selected debouncer clock (RegPresc). This means a worst case of 16 ms (default) or 2 ms (0.25 ms by
metal mask, for ROM Version only) with a system clock of 32 KHz.
Either a positive or a negative edge on the port A inputs - after debouncer or not - can generate an interrupt
request. This selection is done in the option register OPTIntEdgPA.
All four bits of port A can provide an IRQ, each pin with its own interrupt mask bit in the RegIRQMask1 register.
When an IRQ occurs, inspection of the RegIRQ1, RegIRQ2 and RegIRQ3 registers allows the interrupt to be
identified and treated.
At power on or after any reset the RegIRQMask1 is set to 0, thus disabling any input interrupt. A new interrupt
is only stored with the next active edge after the corresponding interrupt mask is cleared. See also the interrupt
chapter 10.
It is recommended to mask the port A IRQ’s while one changes the selected IRQ edge. Else one may generate
a IRQ (Software IRQ). I.e. PA[0] on ‘0’ then changing from positive to negative edge selection on PA[0] will
immediately trigger an IRQPA[0] if the IRQ was not masked.

6.2.2 Pull-up or Pull-down
Each of the input port terminals PA[3:0] has a resistor integrated which can be used either as pull-up or pulldown resistor, depending on the selected metal mask options( ROM version only). See the port A metal mask
chapter for details. The pull resistor can be inhibited using the NoPullPA[n] bits in the register OptNoPullPA.

6.2.3 Software Test Variables
The port A terminals PA[2:0] are also used as input conditions for conditional software branches. Independent
of the OPTDebIntPA and the OPTIntEdgPA. These CPU inputs always have a debouncer.
- Debounced PA[0] is connected to CPU TestVar1.
- Debounced PA[1] is connected to CPU TestVar2.
- Debounced PA[2] is connected to CPU TestVar3.
6.2.4 Port A for 10-Bit Counter and MSC
The PA[0] and PA[3] inputs can be used as the clock input terminal for the 10 bit counter in "event count"
mode. As for the IRQ generation one can choose debouncer or direct input with the register OPTDebIntPA and
non-inverted or inverted input with the register OPTIntEdgPA. Debouncer input is always recommended.
Pad input PA[3] is also used as start/stop control for the millisecond counter. This control signal is derived from
PA[3], it is independent of the port A debouncer and edge selection. Refer also to Figure 10.

Port B
The EM6521 has one four bit general purpose I/O port. Each bit can be configured individually by software for
input/output, pull-up, pull-down and CMOS or Nch. open drain output type. The port outputs either data,
frequency or PWM signals.
6.4.1 Input / Output Mode
Each port B terminal is bit-wise bi-directional. The input or output mode on each port B terminal is set by writing
the corresponding bit in the RegPBCntl control register. To set for input (default), 0 is written to the
corresponding bit of the RegPBCntl register which results in a high impedance state for the output driver. The
output mode is set by writing 1 in the control register, and consequently the output terminal follows the status of
the bits in the RegPBData register.
The port B terminal status can be read on address RegPBData even in output mode. Be aware that the data
read on port B is not necessary of the same value as the data stored on RegPBData register.

6.4.2 Pull-up or Pull-down
On each terminal of PB[3:0] an internal input pull-up (metal mask MPBPU[n]) or pull-down (metal mask
MPBPD[n]) resistor can be connected per metal mask option (ROM version only). Per default the two resistors
are in place. In this case one can chose per software to have either a pull-up, a pull-down or no resistor. See
below.
For Metal mask selection and available resistor values refer to chapter 0.
16H
Pull-down ON : MPBPD[n] must be in place ,
AND bit NoPdPB[n] must be ‘0’ .
Pull-down OFF: MPBPD[n] is not in place,
OR if MPBPD[n] is in place NoPdPB[n] = ‘1’ cuts off the pull-down.
OR selecting NchOpDPB[n] = ‘1’ cuts off the pull-down.
Pull-up ON *
: MPBPU[n] must be in place,
AND bit NchOpDPB[n] must be ‘1’ ,
AND (bit PBIOCntl[n] = ‘0’ (input mode) OR if PBIOCntl[n] = ‘1’ while PBData[n] = 1. )
Pull-up OFF*
: MPBPU[n] is not in place,
OR if MPBPU[n] is in place NchOpDPB[n] = ‘0’ cuts off the pull-up,
OR if MPBPU[n] is in place and if NchOpDPB[n] = ‘1’ then PBData[n] = 0 cuts off the pull-up.
Never pull-up and pull-down can be active at the same time.
For POWER SAVING one can switch off the port B pull resistors between two read phases. No cross current
flows in the input amplifier while the port B is not read. The recommended order is :
• Switch on the pull resistor.
• Allow sufficient time - RC constant - for the pull resistor to drive the line to either VSS or VDD.
• Read the port B
• Switch off the pull resistor
Minimum time with current on the pull resistor is 4 system clock periods, if the RC time constant is lower than 1
system clock period. Adding a NOP instruction before reading moves the number of periods with current in the
pull resistor to 6 and the maximum RC delay to 3 clock periods.
6.4.3 CMOS / NCH. Open Drain Output
The port B outputs can be configured as either CMOS or Nch. open drain outputs. In CMOS both logic ‘1’ and
‘0’ are driven out on the terminal. In Nch. Open Drain only the logic ‘0’ is driven on the terminal, the logic ‘1’
value is defined by the internal pull-up resistor (if implemented), or high impedance.

Port Serial
The EM6521 contains a simple, half duplex three wire synchronous type serial interface., which can be used to
program or read an external EEPROM, ADC, ... etc.
For data reception, a shift-register converts the serial input data on the SIN(PSP[0]) terminal to a parallel
format, which is subsequently read by the CPU in registers RegSDataL and RegSDataH for low and high
nibble. To transmit data, the CPU loads data into the shift register, which then serializes it on the
SOUT(PSP[2]) terminal. It is possible for the shift register to simultaneously shift data out on the SOUT
terminal and shift data on the SIN terminal. In Master mode, the shifting clock is supplied internally by the
Prescaler : one of three prescaler frequencies are available, Ck[16], Ck[15] or Ck[14]. In Slave mode, the
shifting clock is supplied externally on the SCLKIn(PSP[3]) terminal. In either mode, it is possible to program :
the shifting edge, shift MSB first or LSB first and direct shift output. All these selection are done in register
RegSCntl1 and RegSCntl2.

For POWER SAVING one can switch off the port SP pull resistors between two read phases. No cross current
flows in the input amplifier while the port SP is not read.
This power saving feature must only be used in tristate mode (OM[0,1]=0). The recommended order is :
• switch on the pull resistor.
• allow sufficient time - RC constant - for the pull resistor to drive the line to either VSS or VDD.
• Read the port SP
• Switch off the pull resistor
Minimum time with current on the pull resistor is 4 periods of the system clock, if the RC constant is lower than
1 system clock period. Adding a NOP before reading moves the number of periods with current in the pull
resistor to 6 and the maximum RC delay to 3 clock periods.
6.6.3 Nch. Open Drain Outputs
The port SP outputs can be configured as either CMOS or Nch. open drain outputs.
In CMOS both logic ‘1’ and ‘0’ are driven out on the terminal.
In Nch. open drain only the logic ‘0’ is driven out on the terminal, the logic ‘1’ value is high impedance or
defined by the internal pull-up resistor (if existing).

After power on or after any reset the serial interface is in serial slave mode with Start and Status set to 0, LSB
first, negative shift edge and all outputs are in high impedance state.
When the Start bit is set, the shift operation is enabled and the serial interface is ready to transmit or receive
data, eight shift operations are performed: 8 serial data values are read from the data input terminal into the
shift register and the previous loaded 8-bits are send out via the data output terminal. After the eight shift
operation, an interrupt is generated, and the Start bit is reset.

6.6.5 Detailed Functional Description
Master or Slave mode is selected in the control register RegSCntl1.
In Slave mode, the serial clock comes from an external device and is input via the PSP[3] terminal as a
synchronous clock (SCLKIn) to the serial interface. The serial clock is ignored as long as the Start bit is not
set. After setting Start, only the eight following active edges of the serial clock input PSP[3] are used to shift the
serial data in and out. After eight serial clock edges the Start bit is reset. The PSP[1] terminal is a copy of the
(Start OR Status) bit values, it can be used to indicate to the external master, that the interface is ready to
operate or it can be used as a chip select signal in case of an external slave.
In Master mode, the synchronous serial clock is generated internally from the system clock. The frequency is
selected from one out of three sources ( MS0 and MS1 bits in RegSCntl1) . The serial shifting clock is only
generated during Start = high and is output to the SCLK terminal as the Master Clock (SCLKOut). When Start
is low, the serial clock output on PSP[3] is 0.
An interrupt request IRQSerial is generated after the eight shift operations are done. This signal is set by the
last negative edge of the serial interface clock on PSP[3] (master or slave mode) and is reset to 0 by the next
write of Start or by any reset. This interrupt can be masked with register RegIRQMask3. For more details
about the interrupt handling see chapter 10.
Serial data input on PSP[0] is sampled by the positive or negative serial shifting clock edge, as selected by the
Control Register POSnNeg bit. Serial data input is shifted in LSB first or MSB first, as selected by the Control
Register MSBnLSB bit.
18H
6.6.6 Output Modes
Serial data output is given out in two different ways (Refer also to
- OM[1] = 1, OM[0] = 0 :
The serial output data is generated with the
selected shift register clock (POSnNeg). The
first data bit is available directly after the Start
bit is set.

6.6.7 Reset and Sleep on Port SP
During circuit initialization, all option registers are reset by Power On Reset and therefore all pull-ups are off
and all pull-downs are on. During Sleep mode, Port SP inputs are cut-off , the circuit is in Reset State. However
the Reset State does not reset the option registers and pull-downs, if previously turned on, remain on even
during Sleep mode. After any reset the serial interface parameters are reset to : Slave mode, Start and Status
= 0, LSB first, negative edge shift , PSP[3:0] tristate.
Note : A write operation in the control registers or in the data registers while Start is high will change internal
values and may cause an error condition. The user must take care of the serial interface status before writing
internal registers. In order to read the correct values on the data registers, the shift operation must be halted
during the read accesses.

Melody, Buzzer
A normal application is to drive a buzzer connected onto the terminal Buzzer.
This peripheral cell is a combination of a 7 frequency tone generator and a 4-bit timer, used to provide a 50%
duty cycle signal on the Buzzer terminal of a pre-selected length and frequency. The Buzzer terminal is active
as long as the timer is not 0 or the SwBuzzer is set to ‘1’. The 4-bit timer can be used for another application
independent of the Buzzer terminal by selecting "silence" instead of another frequency on the Buzzer output.
"Silence" can also be used as part of a melody, or to switch off the buzzer.
To use the buzzer independent of the 4-bit timer one has to set the switch SwBuzzer. This bit is in register
RegMelTim and selects the signal duration on the buzzer output. If SwBuzzer=1 then the signal is output until
the bit is set back to 0 . With SwBuzzer=0 the output signal duration is controlled by the 4bit timer. If neither
the SwBuzzer or the timer are active, the Buzzer terminal is on 0.
The high impedance state setting with BzOutEn is independent of the SwBuzzer and Timer settings. As soon
as the bit is set to 1 the Buzzer terminal is set tristate. See also Figure 19.

4-Bit Timer
The timer has 2 modes:
- Single run mode (Auto=0)
- Continuous run mode (Auto=1)
Mode selection and timer count down frequency is done in register RegMelTim. All timer frequencies are
coming from the prescaler. The 4-bit timer can be used independent of the melody buzzer application.
Whenever the timer reaches 0 it generates an interrupt request IRQBz in the register RegIRQ2 . This interrupt
can be masked with the bit MaskIRQBz in register RegIRQMask2. By writing 0 into the timer period register
the timer stops immediately and does not generate an interrupt.

7.1.1 Single Run Mode
The timer duration is controlled by the RegMelPeri value and the selected timer frequency in RegMelTim. The
timer is counting down from its previously charged value until it reaches 0. On 0 the timer stops and generates
an interrupt request. The buzzer frequency output is enabled after the next positive timer clock edge and
remains enabled until the timer reaches 0.

7.1.2 Continuos Run Mode
This is almost the same as the single run mode only that in this case the timer after reaching 0 reloads itself
automatically with the register RegMelPeri value. Every time the timer reaches 0 an interrupt request is send.
There are 2 ways to stop the continuos mode.
• First, changing the mode to single run mode. As the timer reaches 0 it stops. The last period after Auto=0
is of length RegMelPeri + 1.
• Second, loading 0 into the timer period register RegMelPeri stops the timer immediately, no interrupt is
generated and the Auto flag is reset. The buzzer frequency output is enabled directly by writing Auto=1.

10-bit Counter
The EM6521 has a built-in universal cyclic counter. It can be configured as 10, 8, 6 or 4-bit counter. If 10-bits
are selected we call that full bit counting, if 8, 6 or 4-bits are selected we call that limited bit counting.
The counter works in up- or down count mode. Eight clocks can be used as the input clock source, six of them
are prescaler frequencies and two are coming from the input pads PA[0] and PA[3]. In this case the counter
can be used as an event counter.
The counter generates an interrupt request IRQCount0 every time it reaches 0 in down count mode or 3FF in
up count mode. Another interrupt request IRQCntComp is generated in compare mode whenever the counter
value matches the compare data register value. Each of this interrupt requests can be masked (default). See
section 10 for more information about the interrupt handling.
12H
A 10-bit data register CReg[9:0] is used to initialize the counter at a specific value (load into Count[9:0]). This
data register (CReg[9:0]) is also used to compare its value against Count[9:0] for equivalence.
A Pulse-Width-Modulation signal (PWM) can be generated and output on port B terminal PB[3].

Frequency Select and Up/Down Counting
8 different input clocks can be selected to drive the Counter. The selection is done with bits CountFSel2…0 in
register RegCCntl1. 6 of this input clocks are coming from the prescaler. The maximum prescaler clock
frequency for the counter is half the system clock and the lowest is 1Hz. Therefore a complete counter roll over
can take as much as 17.07 minutes (1Hz clock, 10 bit length) or as little as 977 μs (Ck[15], 4 bit length). The
IRQCount0, generated at each roll over, can be used for time bases, measurements length definitions, input
polling, wake up from Halt mode, etc. The IRQCount0 and IRQComp are generated with the system clock
Ck[16] rising edge. IRQCount0 condition in up count mode is : reaching 3FF if 10-bit counter length (or FF, 3F,
F in 8, 6, 4-bit counter length). In down count mode the condition is reaching ‘0’. The non-selected bits are
‘don’t care’. For IRQComp refer to section 8.4.
124H
Note: The Prescaler and the Microprocessor clock’s are usually non-synchronous, therefore time bases
generated are max. n, min. n-1 clock cycles long (n being the selected counter start value in count down
mode). However the prescaler clock can be synchronized with µP commands using for instance the prescaler
reset function.

The two remaining clock sources are coming from the PA[0] or PA[3] terminals. Refer to the Figure 10 on page
15 for details. Both sources can be either debounced (Ck[11] or Ck[8]) or direct inputs, the input polarity can
also be chosen. The output after the debouncer polarity selector is named PA3 , PA0 respectively. For the
debouncer and input polarity selection refer to chapter 6.3.
In the case of port A input clock without debouncer, the counting clock frequency will be half the input clock on
port A. The counter advances on every odd numbered port A negative edge ( divided clock is high level ).
IRQCount0 and IRQComp will be generated on the rising PA3 or PA0 input clock edge. In this condition the
EM6521 is able to count with a higher clock rate as the internal system clock (Hi-Frequency Input). Maximum
port A input frequency is limited to 200kHz (@VDD ≥ 2.0 V). If higher frequencies are needed, please contact
EM-Marin.
In both, up or down count (default) mode, the counter is cyclic. The counting direction is chosen in register
RegCCntl1 bit Up/Down (default ‘0’ is down count). The counter increases or decreases its value with each
positive clock edge of the selected input clock source. Start up synchronization is necessary because one can
not always know the clock status when enabling the counter. With EvCount=0, the counter will only start on the
next positive clock edge after a previously latched negative edge, while the Start bit was already set to ‘1’. This
synchronization is done differently if event count mode (bit EvCount) is chosen. Refer also to Figure 24.

Event Counting
The counter can be used in a special event count mode where a certain number of events (clocks) on the PA[0]
or PA[3] input are counted. In this mode the counting will start directly on the next active clock edge on the
selected port A input.
The Event Count mode is switched on by setting bit EvCount in the register RegCCntl2 to ‘1’.PA[3] and PA[0]
inputs can be inverted depending on register OPTIntEdgPA and should be debounced. The debouncer is
switched on in register OPTDebIntPA bits NoDebIntPA[3,0]=0. Its frequency depends on the bit DebSel from
register RegPresc setting. The inversion of the internal clock signal derived from PA[3] or PA[0] is active with
IntEdgPA[3] respectively IntEdgPA[0] equal to 1. Refer also to Figure 10 for internal clock signal
generation.

Compare Function
A previously loaded register value (CReg[9:0]) can be compared against the actual counter value
(Count[9:0]). If the two are matching (equality) then an interrupt (IRQComp) is generated. The compare
function is switched on with the bit EnComp in the register RegCCntl2. With EnComp = 0 no IRQComp is
generated. Starting the counter with the same value as the compare register is possible, no IRQ is generated
on start. Full or Limited bit compare are possible, defined by bit SelIntFull in register RegSysCntl1.
EnComp must be written after a load operation (Load = 1). Every load operation resets the bit EnComp.
Full bit compare function.
Bit SelIntFull is set to ‘1’. The function behaves as described above independent of the selected counter
length. Limited bit counting together with full bit compare can be used to generate a certain amount of
IRQCount0 interrupts until the counter generates the IRQComp interrupt. With PWMOn=‘1’ the counter would
have automatically stopped after the IRQComp, with PWMOn=‘0’ it will continue until the software stops it.
EnComp must be cleared before setting SelIntFull and before starting the counter again. Be careful, PWMOn
also redefines the port B PB[3] output data.(refer to section 8.5).
Limited bit compare
With the bit SelIntFull set to ‘0’ (default) the compare function will only take as many bits into account as
defined by the counter length selection BitSel[1:0] (see chapter 8.1).
130H
13H
8.5
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
The PWM generator uses the behavior of the Compare function (see above) so EnComp must be set to
activate the PWM function.. At each Roll Over or Compare Match the PWM state - which is output on port B
PB[3] - will toggle. The start value on PB[3] is forced while EnComp is 0 the value is depending on the up or
down count mode. Every counter value load operation resets the bit EnComp and therefore the PWM start
value is reinstalled.
Setting PWMOn to ‘1’ in register RegPresc routes the counter PWM output to port B terminal PB[3]. Insure that
PB[3] is set to output mode . Refer to section 6.4 for the port B setup.
The PWM signal generation is independent of the limited or full bit compare selection bit SelIntFull. However if
SelIntFull = 1 (FULL) and the counter compare function is limited to lower than 10 bits one can generate a
predefined number of output pulses. In this case, the number of output pulses is defined by the value of the
unused counter bits. It will count from the start value until the IRQComp match.
One must not use a compare value of hex 0 in up count mode nor a value of hex 3FF (or FF,3F, F if limited bit
compare) in down count mode.

EM6521
For instance, loading the counter in up count mode with hex 000 and the comparator with hex C52 which will
be identified as :
- bits[11:10] are limiting the counter to limits to 4 bits length, =03
- bits [9:4] are the unused counter bits = hex 05 (bin 000101),
- bits [3:0] (comparator value = 2).
(BitSel[1,0])
(number of PWM pulses)
(length of PWM pulse)
Thus after 5 PWM-pulses of 2 clocks cycles length the Counter generates an IRQComp and stops.
The same example with SelIntFull=0 (limited bit compare) will produce an unlimited number of PWM at a length
of 2 clock cycles.
8.5.1 How the PWM Generator works.
For Up Count Mode; Setting the counter in up count and PWM mode the PB[3] PWM output is defined to be 0
(EnComp=0 forces the PWM output to 0 in upcount mode, 1 in downcount). Each Roll Over will set the output
to ‘1’ and each Compare Match will set it back to ‘0’. The Compare Match for PWM always only works on the
defined counter length. This, independent of the SelIntFull setting which is valid only for the IRQ generation.
Refer also to the compare setup in chapter 8.4.
13H
In above example the PWM starts counting up on hex 0,
2 cycles later compare match -> PWM to ‘0’,
14 cycles later roll over -> PWM to ‘1’
2 cycles later compare match -> PWM to ‘0’ , etc. until the completion of the 5 pulses.
The normal IRQ generation remains on during PWM output. If no IRQ’s are wanted, the corresponding masks
need to be set.

PWM output
In Down Count Mode everything is inverted. The PWM output starts with the ‘1’ value. Each Roll Over will set
the output to ‘0’ and each Compare Match will set it back to ‘1’. For limited pulse generation one must load the
complementary pulse number value. I.e. for 5 pulses counting on 4 bits load bits[9 :4] with hex 3A (bin
111010).
8.5.2 PWM Characteristics
PWM resolution is
: 10bits (1024 steps), 8bits (256 steps), 6bits (64 steps) or 4 bits (16 steps)
the minimal signal period is
: 16 (4-bit) x Fmax*
-> 16 x 1/Ck[15]
-> 977 µs
(32 KHz)
the maximum signal period is : 1024 x Fmin*
-> 1024 x 1/Ck[1]
-> 1024 s
(32 KHz)
the minimal pulse width is
: 1 bit
-> 1 x 1/Ck[15]
-> 61 µs
(32 KHz)
* This values are for Fmax or Fmin derived from the internal system clock (32kHz). Much shorter (and longer)
PWM pulses can be achieved by using the port A as frequency input.
One must not use a compare value of hex 0 in up count mode nor a value of hex 3FF (or FF,3F, F if limited bit
compare) in downcount mode.

Counter Setup
RegCDataL[3:0], RegCDataM[3:0], RegCDataH[1:0] are used to store the initial count value called
CReg[9:0] which is written into the count register bits Count[9:0] when writing the bit Load to ‘1’ in
RegCCntl2. This bit is automatically reset thereafter. The counter value Count[9:0] can be read out at any
time, except when using non-debounced high frequency port A input clock. To maintain data integrity the lower
nibble Count[3:0] must always be read first. The ShCount[9:4] values are shadow registers to the counter. To
keep the data integrity during a counter read operation (3 reads), the counter values [9:4] are copied into these
registers with the read of the count[3:0] register. If using non-debounced high frequency port A input the
counter must be stopped while reading the Count[3:0] value to maintain the data integrity.
In down count mode an interrupt request IRQCount0 is generated when the counter reaches 0. In up count
mode, an interrupt request is generated when the counter reaches 3FF (or FF,3F,F if limited bit counting).
Never an interrupt request is generated by loading a value into the counter register.
When the counter is programmed from up into down mode or vice versa, the counter value Count[9:0] gets
inverted. As a consequence, the initial value of the counter must be programmed after the Up/Down selection.
Loading the counter with hex 000 is equivalent to writing stop mode, the Start bit is reset, no interrupt request
is generated.
How to use the counter;
If PWM output is required one has to put the port B[3] in output mode and set PWMOn=1 in step 5.
1st,
set the counter into stop mode (Start=0).
2nd,
select the frequency and up- or down count mode in RegCCntl1.
3rd,
write the data registers RegCDataL, RegCDataM, RegCDataH (counter start value and
length)
4th,
load the counter, Load=1, and choose the mode. (EvCount, EnComp=0)
5th,
select bits PWMOn in RegPresc and SelIntFull in RegSysCntl1
6th,
if compare mode desired , then write RegCDataL, RegCDataM, RegCDataH (compare value)
7th,
set bit Start and select EnComp in RegCCntl2

Millisecond Counter
The EM6521 has a built-in millisecond binary coded decimal counter. It can be used to measure the time
elapsed between two events (hardware or software events). With a system clock of 32kHz, the counter
generates every 1/10 second or every second an interrupt request.
The counter value read on registers RegMSCDataL, RegMSCDataM and RegMSCDataH is in binary coded
decimal format (000 to 999). To maintain the data integrity for the 3 decimal digits inside BCD[11:0] one must
stop the counter while reading the full 3 digit value.
An overflow flag FlSec is set whenever the counter reached 999. This flag is helpful when the counter is used
in polling mode and twice the same value is read. In this case, if the flag is set to 1, it indicates that the two
readings were 1 second apart, in the case the flag is not set, the two readings must have been very short one
after the other. After every read of RegMSCCntl2 the FlSec gets automatically reset.
The millisecond counter is reset with every system reset. Setting the ResMSC flag located in register
RegMSCCntl1 resets the counter value only. This flag is automatically reset after the write operation. For good
resolution in Pa3-mode use the Ck[14 ] debouncer clock (250us). Or if the 1/1000 sec is not relevant then
choose Ck[10] (4ms) as debouncer clock. Doing so will save power. The debouncer selection is made in
register RegMSCCntl2 bit DebFreqSel.

Changing PA3Edge while RunEn=1 or PA3/up=1 may generate a MSC event (start or stop). This behavior is
useful for the - CPU controlled start and PA3 controlled stop - mode, But in general one does all the setup
before starting the counter.
9.1
PA[3] Input for MSC
In hardware Start/Stop mode the counter is triggered with the port A terminal PA[3] input. In this case PA[3] is
debounced with the prescaler Ck[14] (or Ck[10]) clock. The triggering edge selection is made with bit PA3Edge
in register RegMSCCntl2 (default negative edge). The PA[3] input for the millisecond counter is totally
independent of the PA[3] interrupt edge selection and the PA[3] polarity selection for the 10 bit counter.
However the pull-up or pull-down selection is common to all peripheries sharing the port A.
9.2
IRQ from MSC
An Interrupt request IRQMSC is send on either every 1/10 seconds or every second, depending on the bit
IntSel in register RegMSCCntl2. For interrupt handling please refer to the interrupt control section.

9.3
MSC-Modes
The millisecond counter can have many different modes of operation. The most common are :
- CPU controlled start and stop.
- CPU controlled start and PA[3] controlled stop.
- Port A terminal PA[3] controlled start and stop mode.
- Pulse width measurement of port A terminal PA[3] input signals.
All these different modes are controlled with the bits in the registers RegMSCCntl1 and RegMSCCntl2.
The main bits are :
- dT/MSC ;
Pulse-width or start stop measure. This bit only has a action if PA[3] input is chosen. If pulsewidth measure is selected, the counter starts with the first active edge on PA[3] and stops with
the next inverse edge (sets RunEn = 0). If MSC measure selected, the counter starts with the
first active PA[3] edge, stops on the next, restarts on the following etc. It does not reset
RunEn.
- PA3/µP ;
Direct port A terminal PA[3] or CPU (µP) controlled start and stop function. If direct PA[3]
controlled start stop mode is chosen the counter, once enabled by setting RunEn/Stop = 1,
starts counting on the first active edge seen on PA[3]. It stops counting depending on the
dT/MSC bit either on the next inverse edge or on the next active edge. If µP is chosen, the
counter starts and stops depending on bit RunEn/Stop.
- RunEn/Stop; In CPU mode this bit starts or stops the counter. In PA3 mode it enables the counter which will
start with the next event on port A terminal PA[3]. If dT and PA3 mode, the RunEn gets reset
with the second active PA[3] edge.
- PA3Edge ;
9.4
This bit selects the active PA[3] edge which will trigger the dT/MSC selected measurement
mode. It has no effect if PA3/µP=0. Default 0 is negative edge.
Mode selection
Before using, the MSC counter needs to be reset by setting bit ResMSC to ‘1’. This bit is automatically reset
thereafter. Then select the IRQ frequency and the counting mode. Now the RunEn can be set to ‘1’ . To display
the counter value during run you may only want to read the MSB (1/10 sec) digit ,driven by IRQ or with polling,
and fully read the MSC value only once the counter is stopped. The counter data registers are read only. Any
Reset (system reset, POR, watchdog) is setting the MSC into stop mode and clears the counter registers.
• CPU controlled Start and Stop
As soon as the CPU writes the start bit RunEn/Stop=1 the counter starts up counting until the CPU clears the
start bit. The bit PA3/uP is ‘0’ for this mode.

• CPU controlled Start and PA[3] controlled Stop.
In this mode setting the bit RunEn=1 while PA3/uP=0 while immediately start the counting action. Afterwards
one needs to prepare for the stop by PA[3]. Therefore the PA[3] start condition must first be fulfilled. This is in
dT mode a rising edge on the PA3internal signal (PA3internal, refer to Figure 27). In MSC mode the start
condition is a positive pulse on PA3internal signal. The creation of this edge or pulse is done per software by
manipulating the PA3Edge selection. See Figure 29 for details. Afterwards one can change to PA3 controlled
stop mode (PA3/uP=1) where the next positive edge on PA3internal will stop the Counter. In dT mode the
RunEn/stop bit will be cleared with the PA3 stop condition where as in MSC mode MSC mode the RunEn is
not cleared.

external sources and seven from internal sources.

To be able to send an interrupt to the CPU, at least one of the interrupt request flags must ‘1’ (IRQxx) and the
general interrupt enable bit IntEn located in the register RegSysCntl1 must be set to 1. The interrupt request
flags can only be set high by a positive edge on the IRQxx data flip-flop while the corresponding mask register
bit (MaskIRQxx) is set to 1.

At power on or after any reset all interrupt request mask registers are cleared and therefore do not allow any
interrupt request to be stored. Also the general interrupt enable IntEn is set to 0 (No IRQ to CPU) by reset.
After each read operation on the interrupt request registers RegIRQ1, RegIRQ2 or RegIRQ3 the contents of
the addressed register are reset. Therefore one has to make a copy of the interrupt request register if there
was more than one interrupt to treat. Each interrupt request flag may also be reset individually by writing 1 into
it .
Interrupt handling priority must be resolved through software by deciding which register and which flag inside
the register need to be serviced first.
Since the CPU has only one interrupt subroutine and the IRQxx registers are cleared after reading, the CPU
does not miss any interrupt request which comes during the interrupt service routine. If any occurs during this
time a new interrupt will be generated as soon as the software comes out of the current interrupt subroutine.

EM6521
Any interrupt request sent by a periphery cell while the corresponding mask is not set will not be stored in the
interrupt request register. All interrupt requests are stored in their IRQxx registers depending only on their
mask setting and not on the general interrupt enable status.
Whenever the EM6521 goes into halt mode the IntEn bit is automatically set to 1, thus allowing to resume from
halt mode with an interrupt.

11 Supply Voltage Level Detector
The EM6521 has a built-in Supply Voltage Level Detector (SVLD) circuitry, such that the CPU can compare the
supply voltage against a pre-selected value. During sleep mode this function is inhibited.
The CPU activates the supply voltage level
detector by writing VldStart = 1 in the register Figure 32. SVLD Timing Diagram
RegVldCntl. The actual measurement starts on
SVLD > VBAT
SVLD < VBAT
the next Ck[9] rising edge and lasts during the
VBAT =VDD
Ck[9] high period (2 ms at 32 KHz). The busy Compare Level
flag VldBusy stays high from VldStart set until
the measurement is finished. The worst case

is available by inspection of the bit VldResult.
Read Result
If the result is read 0, then the power supply
voltage was greater than the detection level
value. If read 1, the power supply voltage was lower than the detection level value. During each read while
Busy=1 the VldResult is not guaranteed. For compatibility reasons the SVLD levels available on the EM6521
are kept the same as the levels used on the EM6621. This means that all levels which may be lower2.0V could
not be reached anymore because they are below VDD min.

12 Strobe Output
The Strobe output is used to indicate either the EM6521 reset condition, a write operation on port B (WritePB)
or the sleep mode. The selection is done in register RegLcdCntl1. Per default, the reset condition is output on
the Strobe terminal.
For a port B write operation the strobe signal goes high for half a system clock period. Data can be latched on
the falling edge of the strobe signal. This function is used to indicate when data on port B output terminals is
changing.
The reset signal on the Strobe output is a copy of the internal CPU reset signal. The Strobe pin remains active
high as long as the CPU gets the reset.
Both the reset condition and the port B write operation can be output simultaneously on the Strobe pin.
The strobe output select latches are reset by initial power on reset only.

The RAM2 addressing is indirect using the RegIndexAdr value as an offset to the directly addressed base
RAM2_0, RAM2_1 , RAM2_2 or RAM2_3 registers.
To write or read the RAM2 the user has first to set the offset value in the RegIndexAdr register. The actual
access then is made on the RAM2 base addresses RAM2_0 , RAM2_1, RAM2_2 or RAM2_3. Refer to
Figure 34. Ram Architecture, for the address mapping.

i.e. Writing hex(5) to Ram2 add location 30: First write hex(E) to RegIndexAdr, then write hex(5) to RAM2_1
RAM Extension : Unused R/W Registers can often be used as possible RAM extension. Be careful not to use
register which start, stop, or reset some functions. Unused LCD register latches can also be used as RAM
memory.
In case of 3 times multiplex and using all the 20 Segment outputs you may have five additional 4 bit registers..
Also for each unused Segment output you may have one additional 4 bit register.

14 LCD Driver
The EM6521 has a built-in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) driver. A maximum of 80 Segments can be displayed
using the 20 Segment driver outputs (SEG[20:1) in 4:1 multiplex ,60 Segments in the case of 3:1 multiplex, and
the 4 back-planes (COM[4:1]).
The LCD driver has its own voltage regulator (1.05 Volt) and voltage multiplier to generate the driver bias
voltages VL1, VL2 and VL3 (VLCD). Using the metal1 mask (ROM version only) the user can choose higher
LCD reference voltages. Please check with EM Marin the possible values and their impact on power
consumption.
The special architecture of this LCD driver allows the user to freely specify the data and address for each
individual Segment using the interconnect metal2 mask (ROM version only) . It therefore adapts to every
possible LCD display with a maximum of 80 independent segments. The LCD clock frequency is 256Hz. Thus
the frame frequency is 256/8 Hz if 4:1 multiplex, or 256/6 if 3:1 multiplex.

14.1 LCD Control
The LCD driver has two control registers RegLCDCntl1, RegLCDCntl2 to optimize for display contrast,
power consumption, operation mode and bias voltage source.
LCDExtSupply: Choosing external supply (LCDExtSupply =‘1’) disables the internal LCD voltage regulator
and voltage multiplier, it also puts the bias voltage terminals VL1, VL2 and VL3 into high impedance state.
External bias levels can now be connected to VL1, VL2 and VL3 terminals. (Resistor divider chain or others).
Another way to adapt the VL1, VL2 and VL3 levels to specific user needs is to overdrive the VL1 output
(LCDExtSupply =0) with the desired value. The internal multiplier will multiply this new VL1 level to generate
the corresponding levels VL2 and VL3. The bit LCDExtSupply is only reset by initial POR.
LCD4Mux: With this switch one selects either 3:1 or 4:1 (default) times multiplexing of the 20 Segment driver
outputs. In the case of 3:1 multiplexing the COM[4] is off.
LCDOff: Disables the LCD. The voltage multiplier and regulator are switched off ( 0 current ).The Segment
latch information is maintained. The VL1,VL2 and VL3 outputs are pulled to VSS.
LCDBlank: All Segment outputs are turned off. The voltage multiplier and regulator remain switched on.
LCDBlank can be used with the 1Hz and Blink interrupt to let the whole display blink (software controlled).
CkTripSel1,0: Selecting the appropriate voltage multiplier frequency to optimize display contrast and power
consumption. The value to use is also depending on the selected multiplier booster capacitors (typically
100nF).
14.2 LCD Addressing
The LCD driver addressing is indirect using
the RegIndexAdr value as an offset to the
directly addressed base LCD_1, LCD_2 or
LCD_3 registers. All LCD Segment registers
are R/W.
At address LCD_3 only the first 8 Index
locations are usable. The Index locations
hex(8 to F) are non implemented.
A total of 40 addresses are available to the
user to freely define the addressing of the
LCD Segment latches. For each of these
latches the user may choose the address
and data to be connected. See also section
14.3. However only 20x4 LCD Segment
latches are implemented. The unused
address locations are empty and can not be
used as RAM.

14.3 Free Segment Allocation
Each Segment (SEG[20:1]) terminal outputs the time multiplexed information from its 4 Segment data latches.
Information stored in latch 1 is output during phase1, latch 2 during phase 2, latch 3 during phase 3 and latch 4
during phase 4. In the case of 3 to 1 multiplexing the phase 4 and the latch 4 are not used. This phase
information on the segment outputs together with the common outputs (COM[4:1]) - also called back-planes defines if a given LCD segment is light or not. COM[1] is on during phase 1 and off during phase 2,3,4 ,
COM[2] is on during phase 2 and off during phase 1,3,4 , etc.
For each segment data latch the address location within the LCD address spacing (LCD_3 + Index(8), LCD_2
+ Index(16), LCD_1 + Index(16) --> LCDAdr[39:0]) can be user defined.
For each segment data latch the data bus connection (DB[3:0]) can be user defined.

18 Mask Options
Most options which in many µControllers are realized as metal mask options are directly user selectable with
the option registers, therefore allowing a maximum freedom of choice .See chapter: Option Register Memory
Map.
The following options can be selected at the time of programming the metal mask ROM, except the LCD Segment
allocation which is defined using the interconnect metal2 mask. The EM6521 is delivered with the default metal mask
settings. If you need other mask settings please contact EM Microelectronic Marin SA

18.1 Input / Output Ports
18.1.1 Port A Metal Options
Figure 38. Port A Pull Options
(For ROM Version) Pull-up or no
pull-up can be selected for each port
A input. A pull-up selection is
excluding a pull-down on the same
input.
Pull-down (default) or no pull-down
can be selected for each port A
input. A pull-down selection is
excluding a pull-up on the same
input.
The total pull value (pull-up or pulldown) is a series resistance out of
the resistance R1 and the switching
transistor. The default resistor R1
value is 100 KOhm.
