GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuC831 is a fully integrated 247 kSPS data acquisition
system incorporating a high performance self-calibrating multichannel 12-bit ADC, dual 12-bit DACs, and programmable
8-bit MCU on a single chip.
The microcontroller core is an 8052, and therefore 8051instruction-set compatible with 12 core clock periods per machine
cycle. 62 kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory are
provided on-chip. Four kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE data
memory, 256 bytes RAM and 2 kBytes of extended RAM are
also integrated on-chip.
The ADuC831 also incorporates additional analog functionality
with two 12-bit DACs, power supply monitor, and a band gap
reference. On-chip digital peripherals include two 16-bit Σ-∆
DACs, dual output 16-bit PWM, watchdog timer, time interval
counter, three timers/counters, Timer 3 for baud rate generation
and serial I/O ports (I2C, SPI and UART).
On-chip factory firmware supports in-circuit serial download and
debug modes (via UART), as well as single-pin emulation mode
via the EA pin. The ADuC831 is supported by QuickStart™ and
QuickStart Plus development systems featuring low cost software
and hardware development tools. A functional block diagram of
the ADuC831 is shown above with a more detailed block diagram
shown in Figure 1.
The part is specified for 3 V and 5 V operation over the extended
industrial temperature range, and is available in a 52-lead plastic
quad flatpack package and in a 56-lead chip scale package.

NOTES
1
Temperature Range –40ºC to +125ºC.
2
ADC linearity is guaranteed during normal Micro Converter core operation.
3
ADC LSB Size = V REF/212 i.e., for Internal V REF = 2.5 V, 1 LSB = 610 V and for External VREF =1 V, 1 LSB = 244 V.
4
These numbers are not production tested but are guaranteed by design and/or characterization data on production release.
5
Offset and Gain Error and Offset and Gain Error Match are measured after factory calibration.
6
Based on external ADC system components, the user may need to execute a system calibration to remove additional external channel errors and achieve
these specifications.
7
SNR calculation includes distortion and noise components.
8
Channel-to-channel Crosstalk is measured on adjacent channels.
9
The Temperature Monitor will give a measure of the die temperature directly; air temperature can be inferred from this result.
10
DAC linearity is calculated using:
Reduced code range of 100 to 4095, 0 to V REF range.
Reduced code range of 100 to 3945, 0 to V DD range.
DAC Output Load = 10 kΩ and 100 pF.
11
DAC differential nonlinearity specified on 0 to V REF and 0 to VDD ranges
12
DAC specification for output impedance in the unbuffered case depends on DAC code.
13
DAC specifications for I SINK, voltage output settling time, and digital-to-analog glitch energy depend on external buffer implementation in unbuffered mode. DAC
in unbuffered mode tested with OP270 external buffer, which has a low input leakage current.
14
Measured with V REF and CREF pins decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitors to ground. Power-up time for the internal reference will be determined by the value of the
decoupling capacitor chosen for both the V REF and CREF pins.
15
When using an external reference device, the internal band gap reference input can be bypassed by setting the ADCCON1.6 bit. In this mode the V REF and CREF
pins need to be shorted together for correct operation.
16
Flash/EE Memory reliability characteristics apply to both the Flash/EE program memory and the Flash/EE data memory.

Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117 and measured at -40ºC, +25ºC, and +125ºC. Typical endurance at
25ºC is 700,000 cycles.
18
Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (Tj) = 55ºC as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV
will derate with junction temperature as shown in Figure 18 in the Flash/EE Memory description section of this data sheet.
19
Power supply current consumption is measured in Normal, Idle, and Power-Down Modes under the following conditions:
Normal Mode:
Reset = 0.4 V, Digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Executing internal software loop.
Idle Mode:
Reset = 0.4 V, Digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Execution suspended in idle mode.
Power-Down Mode: Reset = 0.4 V, All Port 0 pins = 0.4 V, All other digital I/O pins and Port 1 are open circuit, OSC off, TIC off.
20
DVDD power supply current will increase typically by 3 mA (3 V operation) and 10 mA (5 V operation) during a Flash/EE memory program or erase cycle.

Program Store Enable, Logic Output. This output is a control signal that enables the external program
memory to the bus during external fetch operations. It is active every six oscillator periods except during
external data memory accesses. This pin remains high during internal program execution. PSEN can also be
used to enable serial download mode when pulled low through a resistor on power-up or RESET.
Address Latch Enable, Logic Output. This output is used to latch the low byte (and page byte for 24-bit
address space accesses) of the address into external memory during normal operation. It is activated every
six oscillator periods except during an external data memory access.
External Access Enable, Logic Input. When held high, this input enables the device to fetch code from
internal program memory locations 0000H to 1FFFH. When held low this input enables the device to fetch
all instructions from external program memory. This pin should not be left floating.
Port 0 is an 8-bit Open Drain Bidirectional I/O port. Port 0 pins that have 1s written to them float, and in
that state can be used as high impedance inputs. Port 0 is also the multiplexed low order address and data
bus during accesses to external program or data memory. In this application it uses strong internal pull-ups
when emitting 1s.
TERMINOLOGY
dependent upon the number of quantization levels in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. The theoretical signal to (noise + distortion) ratio for an
ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by:
ADC SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity
This is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point
1/2 LSB below the first code transition and full scale, a point
1/2 LSB above the last code transition.
Signal to(Noise + Distortion)= (6.02N + 1.76) dB
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion
Differential Nonlinearity
This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Total Harmonic Distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of the
harmonics to the fundamental.
DAC SPECIFICATIONS
Relative Accuracy
Offset Error
This is the deviation of the first code transition (0000 . . . 000)
to (0000 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., +1/2 LSB.
Relative accuracy or endpoint linearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
adjusting for zero error and full-scale error.
Gain Error
This is the deviation of the last code transition from the ideal
AIN voltage (Full Scale – 1.5 LSB) after the offset error has
been adjusted out.
Voltage Output Settling Time
This is the amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a
specified level for a full-scale input change.
Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio
This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental signals up
to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc. The ratio is
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
This is the amount of charge injected into the analog output
when the inputs change state. It is specified as the area of the
glitch in nV sec.

Typical Performance Characteristics–ADuC831
The typical performance plots presented in this section illustrate
typical performance of the ADuC831 under various operating
conditions.
TPC 1 and TPC 2 below show typical ADC Integral Nonlinearity
(INL) errors from ADC code 0 to code 4095 at 5 V and 3 V
supplies respectively. The ADC is using its internal reference
(2.5 V) and operating at a sampling rate of 152 kHz and the
typically worst-case errors in both plots is just less than 0.3 LSBs.
TPC 3 and TPC 4 below show the variation in Worst Case
Positive (WCP) INL and Worst Case Negative (WCN) INL
versus external reference input voltage.
TPC 5 and TPC 6 show typical ADC differential nonlinearity
(DNL) errors from ADC code 0 to code 4095 at 5 V and 3 V supplies, respectively. The ADC is using its internal reference (2. V) and
operating at a sampling rate of 152 kHz and the typically worst case
errors in both plots is just less than 0.2 LSBs.
TPC 7 and TPC 8 show the variation in worst case positive
(WCP) DNL and worst-case negative (WCN) DNL versus
external reference input voltage.
TPC 9 shows a histogram plot of 10,000 ADC conversion
results on a dc input with VDD = 5 V. The plot illustrates an
excellent code distribution pointing to the low noise performance of the on-chip precision ADC.
TPC 10 shows a histogram plot of 10,000 ADC conversion
results on a dc input for VDD = 3 V. The plot again illustrates a
very tight code distribution of 1 LSB with the majority of codes
appearing in one output bin.
TPC 11 and TPC 12 show typical FFT plots for the ADuC831.
These plots were generated using an external clock input. The
ADC is using its internal reference (2.5 V) sampling a full-scale,
10 kHz sine wave test tone input at a sampling rate of 149.79 kHz.
The resultant FFTs shown at 5 V and 3 V supplies illustrate an
excellent 100 dB noise floor, 71 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
and THD greater than –80 dB.
TPC 13 and TPC 14 show typical dynamic performance versus
external reference voltages. Again excellent ac performance can
be observed in both plots with some roll-off being observed as
VREF falls below 1 V.
TPC 15 shows typical dynamic performance versus sampling
frequency. SNR levels of 71 dBs are obtained across the sampling range of the ADuC831.
TPC 16 shows the voltage output of the on-chip temperature
sensor versus temperature. Although the initial voltage output at
25ºC can vary from part to part, the resulting slope of
–2 mV/ºC is constant across all parts.

ADuC831
MEMORY ORGANIZATION
7FH
The ADuC831 contains four different memory blocks:
• 62 kBytes of On-Chip Flash/EE Program Memory
• 4 kBytes of On-Chip Flash/EE Data Memory
• 256 Bytes of General-Purpose RAM
• 2 kBytes of Internal XRAM

The ADuC831 provides 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program memory
to run user code. The user can choose to run code from this
internal memory or run code from an external program memory.

18H
If the user applies power or resets the device while the EA pin is
pulled low, the part will execute code from the external program
space, otherwise the part defaults to code execution from its
internal 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program memory. Unlike the
ADuC812, where code execution can overflow from the internal
code space to external code space once the PC becomes greater
than 1FFFH, the ADuC831 does not support the rollover from
F7FFH in internal code space to F800H in external code space.
Instead the 2048 bytes between F800H and FFFFH will appear
as NOP instructions to user code.
This internal code space can be downloaded via the UART serial
port while the device is in-circuit. 56 kBytes of the program
memory can be reprogrammed during runtime thus the code
space can be upgraded in the field using a user defined protocol
or it can be used as a data memory. This will be discussed in
more detail in the Flash/EE Memory section.

Figure 2. Lower 128 Bytes of Internal Data Memory
The ADuC831 contains 2048 bytes of internal XRAM,
1792 bytes of which can be configured to be used as an
extended 11-bit stack pointer.
By default, the stack will operate exactly like an 8052 in that it
will roll over from FFH to 00H in the general-purpose RAM. On
the ADuC831 however, it is possible (by setting CFG831.7)
to enable the 11-bit extended stack pointer. In this case, the
stack will roll over from FFH in RAM to 0100H in XRAM.
Flash/EE Data Memory
4 kBytes of Flash/EE Data Memory are available to the user and
can be accessed indirectly via a group of control registers mapped
into the Special Function Register (SFR) area. Access to the
Flash/EE data memory is discussed in detail later as part of the
Flash/EE Memory section.
The 11-bit stack pointer is visible in the SP and SPH SFRs.
The SP SFR is located at 81H as with a standard 8052. The
SPH SFR is located at B7H. The 3 LSBs of this SFR contain
the three extra bits necessary to extend the 8-bit stack pointer
into an 11-bit stack pointer.
General-Purpose RAM
07FFH
The general-purpose RAM is divided into two separate memories,
namely the upper and the lower 128 bytes of RAM. The lower
128 bytes of RAM can be accessed through direct or indirect
addressing. The upper 128 bytes of RAM can only be accessed
through indirect addressing as it shares the same address space
as the SFR space, which can only be accessed through direct
addressing.

The lower 128 bytes of internal data memory are mapped as
shown in Figure 2. The lowest 32 bytes are grouped into four
banks of eight registers addressed as R0 through R7. The next
16 bytes (128 bits), locations 20H through 2FH above the register
banks, form a block of directly addressable bit locations at bit
addresses 00H through 7FH. The stack can be located anywhere
in the internal memory address space, and the stack depth can
be expanded up to 2048 bytes.

Reset initializes the stack pointer to location 07H and increments
it once before loading the stack to start from locations 08H which
is also the first register (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if one is
going to use more than one register bank, the stack pointer
should be initialized to an area of RAM not used for data storage.

External Data Memory (External XRAM)
Just like a standard 8051 compatible core, the ADuC831 can
access external data memory using a MOVX instruction. The
MOVX instruction automatically outputs the various control

The external data memory is discussed in more detail in the
ADuC831 Hardware Design Considerations section.
Internal XRAM
2 kBytes of on-chip data memory exist on the ADuC831. This
memory, although on-chip, is also accessed via the MOVX
instruction. The 2 kBytes of internal XRAM are mapped into
the bottom 2 kBytes of the external address space if the
CFG831 bit is set. Otherwise, access to the external data memory
will occur just like a standard 8051. When using the internal
XRAM, ports 0 and 2 are free to be used as general-purpose I/O.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFRS)
The SP SFR is the stack pointer and is used to hold an internal
RAM address that is called the top of the stack. The SP register is
incremented before data is stored during PUSH and CALL
executions. While the Stack may reside anywhere in on-chip
RAM, the SP register is initialized to 07H after a reset. This
causes the stack to begin at location 08H.
As mentioned earlier, the ADuC831 offers an extended 11-bit
stack pointer. The three extra bits to make up the 11-bit stack
pointer are the 3 LSBs of the SPH byte located at B7H.
The SFR space is mapped into the upper 128 bytes of internal
data memory space and accessed by direct addressing only. It
provides an interface between the CPU and all on-chip peripherals. A block diagram showing the programming model of the
ADuC831 via the SFR area is shown in Figure 5.
All registers, except the Program Counter (PC) and the four
general-purpose register banks, reside in the SFR area. The SFR
registers include control, configuration, and data registers that
provide an interface between the CPU and all on-chip peripherals.

Data Pointer (DPTR)
The Data Pointer is made up of three 8-bit registers, named
DPP (page byte), DPH (high byte) and DPL (low byte). These
are used to provide memory addresses for internal and external
code access and external data access. It may be manipulated as
a 16-bit register (DPTR = DPH, DPL), although INC DPTR
instructions will automatically carry over to DPP, or as three
independent 8-bit registers (DPP, DPH, DPL).
The ADuC831 supports dual data pointers. Refer to the Dual
Data Pointer section.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
General Overview
ADC Transfer Function
The ADC conversion block incorporates a fast, 8-channel,
12-bit, single supply ADC. This block provides the user with
multichannel mux, track/hold, on-chip reference, calibration
features, and ADC. All components in this block are easily
configured via a 3-register SFR interface.
The ADC consists of a conventional successive-approximation
converter based around a capacitor DAC. The converter accepts
an analog input range of 0 to VREF. A high precision, low drift,
and factory calibrated 2.5 V reference is provided on-chip. An
external reference can be connected as described later. This
external reference can be in the range of 1 V to AVDD.
The analog input range for the ADC is 0 V to VREF. For this
range, the designed code transitions occur midway between
successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs,
5/2 LSBs, . . ., FS –3/2 LSBs). The output coding is straight
binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 or 2.5 V/4096 = 0.61 mV when
VREF = 2.5 V. The ideal input/output transfer characteristic for
the 0 to VREF range is shown in Figure 7.

CODE
111...111
111...110
111...101
111...100
Single step or continuous conversion modes can be initiated in
software or alternatively by applying a convert signal to an external pin. Timer 2 can also be configured to generate a repetitive
trigger for ADC conversions. The ADC may be configured to
operate in a DMA Mode whereby the ADC block continuously
converts and captures samples to an external RAM space without
any interaction from the MCU core. This automatic capture facility
can extend through a 16 MByte external data memory space.
The ADuC831 is shipped with factory programmed calibration
coefficients that are automatically downloaded to the ADC on
power-up ensuring optimum ADC performance. The ADC core
contains internal offset and gain calibration registers, that can
be hardware calibrated to minimize system errors.
A voltage output from an on-chip band gap reference proportional to absolute temperature can also be routed through the
front end ADC multiplexor (effectively a ninth ADC channel
input) facilitating a temperature sensor implementation.

Typical Operation
Once configured via the ADCCON 1-3 SFRs the ADC will
convert the analog input and provide an ADC 12-bit result word in
the ADCDATAH/L SFRs. The top four bits of the ADCDATAH
SFR will be written with the channel selection bits so as to identify
the channel result. The format of the ADC 12 bit result word is
shown in Figure 8.

Description
The ADC interrupt bit (ADCI) is set by hardware at the end of a single ADC conversion cycle or at
the end of a DMA block conversion. ADCI is cleared by hardware when the PC vectors to the ADC Interrupt Service Routine. Otherwise, the ADCI bit should be cleared by user code.
The DMA mode enable bit (DMA) is set by the user to enable a preconfigured ADC DMA mode operation. A more detailed description of this mode is given in the ADC DMA Mode section. The DMA bit is
automatically set to “0” at the end of a DMA cycle. Setting this bit causes the ALE output to cease, it will
start again when DMA is started and will operate correctly after DMA is complete.
The continuous conversion bit (CCONV) is set by the user to initiate the ADC into a continuous mode of
conversion. In this mode, the ADC starts converting based on the timing and channel configuration
already set up in the ADCCON SFRs; the ADC automatically starts another conversion once a previous conversion has completed.
The single conversion bit (SCONV) is set to initiate a single conversion cycle. The SCONV bit is
automatically reset to “0” on completion of the single conversion cycle.
The channel selection bits (CS3-0) allow the user to program the ADC channel selection under
software control. When a conversion is initiated, the channel converted will be the one pointed to by
these channel selection bits. In DMA mode, the channel selection is derived from the channel ID
written to the external memory.

that the transient demands of the ADC input stage are met. It
Driving the A/D Converter
The ADC incorporates a successive approximation (SAR) architecture involving a charge-sampled input stage. Figure 9 shows
the equivalent circuit of the analog input section. Each ADC
conversion is divided into two distinct phases as defined by the
position of the switches in Figure 9. During the sampling phase
(with SW1 and SW2 in the “track” position) a charge proportional to the voltage on the analog input is developed across the
input sampling capacitor. During the conversion phase (with
both switches in the “hold” position) the capacitor DAC is
adjusted via internal SAR logic until the voltage on node A is
zero, indicating that the sampled charge on the input capacitor is
balanced out by the charge being output by the capacitor DAC.
The digital value finally contained in the SAR is then latched out
as the result of the ADC conversion. Control of the SAR, and
timing of acquisition and sampling modes, is handled automatically by built-in ADC control logic. Acquisition and
conversion times are also fully configurable under user control.
ADuC831

does so by providing a capacitive bank from which the 32 pF
sampling capacitor can draw its charge. Its voltage will not
change by more than one count (1/4096) of the 12-bit transfer function when the 32 pF charge from a previous channel
is dumped onto it. A larger capacitor can be used if desired,
but not a larger resistor (for reasons described below).
The Schottky diodes in Figure 10 may be necessary to limit the
voltage applied to the analog input pin as per the data sheet
absolute maximum ratings. They are not necessary if the op
amp is powered from the same supply as the ADuC831 since
in that case the op amp is unable to generate voltages above
VDD or below ground. An op amp of some kind is necessary
unless the signal source is very low impedance to begin with.
DC leakage currents at the ADuC831’s analog inputs can
cause measurable dc errors with external source impedances
as little as 100 Ω or so. To ensure accurate ADC operation, keep
the total source impedance at each analog input less than 61 Ω.
The table below illustrates examples of how source impedance
can affect dc accuracy.

Figure 9. Internal ADC Structure
Note that whenever a new input channel is selected, a residual
charge from the 32 pF sampling capacitor places a transient on
the newly selected input. The signal source must be capable of
recovering from this transient before the sampling switches click
into “hold” mode. Delays can be inserted in software (between
channel selection and conversion request) to account for input
stage settling, but a hardware solution will alleviate this burden
from the software design task and will ultimately result in a
cleaner system implementation. One hardware solution would
be to choose a very fast settling op amp to drive each analog
input. Such an op amp would need to fully settle from a small
signal transient in less than 300 ns in order to guarantee adequate
settling under all software configurations. A better solution, recommended for use with any amplifier, is shown in Figure 10.
Though at first glance the circuit in Figure 10 may look like a
simple antialiasing filter, it actually serves no such purpose since its
corner frequency is well above the Nyquist frequency, even at a
200 kHz sample rate. Though the R/C does helps to reject some

Although Figure 10 shows the op amp operating at a gain of 1,
you can, of course, configure it for any gain needed. Also, you
can just as easily use an instrumentation amplifier in its place to
condition differential signals. Use any modern amplifier that is
capable of delivering the signal (0 to VREF) with minimal saturation. Some single-supply rail-to-rail op amps that are useful for
this purpose include, but are certainly not limited to, the ones
given in Table VI. Check Analog Devices literature (CD ROM
data book, and so on) for details on these and other op amps
and instrumentation amps.

ADuC831
Keep in mind that the ADC’s transfer function is 0 to VREF, and
any signal range lost to amplifier saturation near ground will
impact dynamic range. Though the op amps in Table VI are
capable of delivering output signals very closely approaching
ground, no amplifier can deliver signals all the way to ground when
powered by a single supply. Therefore, if a negative supply is
available, you might consider using it to power the front end
amplifiers. If you do, however, be sure to include the Schottky
diodes shown in Figure 10 (or at least the lower of the two
diodes) to protect the analog input from undervoltage conditions. To summarize this section, use the circuit of Figure 10 to
drive the analog input pins of the ADuC831.
To ensure accurate ADC operation, the voltage applied to VREF
must be between 1 V and AVDD. In situations where analog
input signals are proportional to the power supply (such as some
strain gage applications) it may be desirable to connect the CREF
and VREF pins directly to AVDD.
Operation of the ADC or DACs with a reference voltage below
1 V, however, may incur loss of accuracy eventually resulting in
missing codes or non-monotonicity. For that reason, do not use
a reference voltage less than 1 V.
ADuC831
Voltage Reference Connections
VDD
The on-chip 2.5 V band gap voltage reference can be used as the
reference source for the ADC and DACs. To ensure the accuracy of the voltage reference, you must decouple the VREF pin to
ground with a 0.1 µF capacitor and the CREF pin to ground with
a 0.1 µF capacitor as shown in Figure 11.

To maintain compatibility with the ADuC812, the external

thus the previous method is the recommended one for most
users. For this method to work, ADCCON1.6 should be configured to use the internal reference. The external reference will
then overdrive this.

If the internal voltage reference is to be used as a reference for
external circuitry, the CREF output should be used. However, a
buffer must be used in this case to ensure that no current is
drawn from the CREF pin itself. The voltage on the CREF pin is
that of an internal node within the buffer block, and its voltage
is critical to ADC and DAC accuracy. On the ADuC812 VREF
was the recommended output for the external reference; this
can be used but it should be noted that there will be a gain error
between this reference and that of the ADC.

3. The external memory must be preconfigured. This consists
of writing the required ADC channel IDs into the top four
bits of every second memory location in the external SRAM
starting at the first address specified by the DMA address
pointer. As the ADC DMA mode operates independent from
the ADuC831 core, it is necessary to provide it with a stop
command. This is done by duplicating the last channel ID to
be converted followed by “1111” into the next channel selection field. A typical preconfiguration of external memory is
as follows.
Configuring the ADC
The ADuC831’s successive approximation ADC is driven by a
divided down version of the master clock. To ensure adequate
ADC operation, this ADC clock must be between 400 kHz and
6 MHz, and optimum performance is obtained with ADC clock
between 400 kHz and 4.5 MHz. Frequencies within this range
can easily be achieved with master clock frequencies from
400 kHz to well above 16 MHz with the four ADC clock divide
ratios to choose from. For example, with a 12 MHz master
clock, set the ADC clock divide ratio to 4 (i.e., ADCCLK =
MCLK/4 = 3 MHz) by setting the appropriate bits in
ADCCON1 (ADCCON1.5 = 1, ADCCON1.4 = 0).
00000AH
The total ADC conversion time is 15 ADC clocks, plus 1 ADC
clock for synchronization, plus the selected acquisition time
(1, 2, 3, or 4 ADC clocks). For the example above, with three
clocks acquisition time, total conversion time is 19 ADC clocks
(or 6.3 µs for a 3 MHz ADC clock).
In continuous conversion mode, a new conversion begins each
time the previous one finishes. The sample rate is then simply
the inverse of the total conversion time described above. In the
example above, the continuous conversion mode sample rate
would be 157.8 kHz.

Figure 14. Typical DMA External Memory Preconfiguration
If using the temperature sensor as the ADC input, the ADC
should be configured to use an ADCCLK of MCLK/16 and
four acquisition clocks.
4. The DMA is initiated by writing to the ADC SFRs in the
following sequence:
a. ADCCON2 is written to enable the DMA mode, i.e.,
MOV ADCCON2, #40H; DMA mode enabled.
b. ADCCON1 is written to configure the conversion time and
power-up of the ADC. It can also enable Timer 2 driven
conversions or external triggered conversions if required.
c. ADC conversions are initiated. This is done by starting
single conversions, starting Timer 2 running for Timer 2
conversions or by receiving an external trigger.
Increasing the conversion time on the temperature monitor
channel improves the accuracy of the reading. To further
improve the accuracy, an external reference with low temperature drift should also be used.
ADC DMA Mode
The on-chip ADC has been designed to run at a maximum
conversion speed of 4 µs (247 kHz sampling rate). When converting at this rate, the ADuC831 MicroConverter has 4 µs to
read the ADC result and store the result in memory for further
postprocessing, otherwise the next ADC sample could be lost.
In an interrupt driven routine the MicroConverter would also
have to jump to the ADC Interrupt Service routine, which will
also increase the time required to store the ADC results. In
applications where the ADuC831 cannot sustain the interrupt
rate, an ADC DMA mode is provided.
When the DMA conversions are completed, the ADC interrupt
bit ADCI, is set by hardware and the external SRAM contains
the new ADC conversion results as shown below. It should be
noted that no result is written to the last two memory locations.
When the DMA mode logic is active, it takes the responsibility of
storing the ADC results away from both the user and ADuC831
core logic. As it writes the results of the ADC conversions to
external memory, it takes over the external memory interface
from the core. Thus, any core instructions that access the external
memory while DMA mode is enabled will not get access to it. The
core will execute the instructions and they will take the same time
to execute but they will not gain access to the external memory.
To enable DMA mode, Bit 6 in ADCCON2 (DMA) must be
set. This allows the ADC results to be written directly to a
16 MByte external static memory SRAM (mapped into data
memory space) without any interaction from the ADuC831
core. This mode allows the ADuC831 to capture a contiguous
sample stream at full ADC update rates (247 kHz).
00000AH
A Typical DMA Mode Configuration Example
To set the ADuC831 into DMA mode a number of steps must
be followed:
1. The ADC must be powered down. This is done by ensuring
MD1 and MD0 are both set to 0 in ADCCON1.
2. The DMA address pointer must be set to the start address of
where the ADC results are to be written. This is done by
writing to the DMA mode address pointers DMAL, DMAH,
and DMAP. DMAL must be written to first, followed by
DMAH, and then by DMAP.

ADuC831
The DMA logic operates from the ADC clock and uses
pipelining to perform the ADC conversions and access the
external memory at the same time. The time it takes to perform
one ADC conversion is called a DMA cycle. The actions performed by the logic during a typical DMA cycle are shown in
the following diagram.
ADC Offset and Gain Calibration Coefficients
The ADuC831 has two ADC calibration coefficients, one for
offset calibration and one for gain calibration. Both the offset and
gain calibration coefficients are 14-bit words, and are each stored
in two registers located in the Special Function Register (SFR)
area. The offset calibration coefficient is divided into ADCOFSH
(six bits) and ADCOFSL (eight bits) and the gain calibration
coefficient is divided into ADCGAINH (six bits) and ADCGAINL
(eight bits).

The offset calibration coefficient compensates for dc offset errors
in both the ADC and the input signal. Increasing the offset coefficient compensates for positive offset, and effectively pushes the
ADC transfer function down. Decreasing the offset coefficient
compensates for negative offset, and effectively pushes the ADC
transfer function up. The maximum offset that can be compensated
is typically ± 5% of VREF, which equates to typically ± 125 mV
with a 2.5 V reference.

DMA CYCLE
Figure 16. DMA Cycle
From the previous diagram, it can be seen that during one DMA
cycle the following actions are performed by the DMA logic:
1. An ADC conversion is performed on the channel whose ID
was read during the previous cycle.
Similarly, the gain calibration coefficient compensates for dc gain
errors in both the ADC and the input signal. Increasing the gain
coefficient compensates for a smaller analog input signal range
and scales the ADC transfer function up, effectively increasing
the slope of the transfer function. Decreasing the gain coefficient,
compensates for a larger analog input signal range and scales the
ADC transfer function down, effectively decreasing the slope of
the transfer function. The maximum analog input signal range
for which the gain coefficient can compensate is 1.025 VREF
and the minimum input range is 0.975 VREF which equates
to typically ± 2.5% of the reference voltage.
2. The 12-bit result and the channel ID of the conversion performed in the previous cycle is written to the external memory.
3. The ID of the next channel to be converted is read from
external memory.
For the previous example, the complete flow of events is shown
in Figure 16. Because the DMA logic uses pipelining, it takes
three cycles before the first correct result is written out.
Micro Operation during ADC DMA Mode
During ADC DMA mode the MicroConverter core is free to
continue code execution, including general housekeeping and
communication tasks. However, note that MCU core accesses
to Ports 0 and 2 (which of course are being used by the DMA
controller) are gated “OFF” during ADC DMA mode of
operation. This means that even though the instruction that
accesses the external Ports 0 or 2 will appear to execute, no data
will be seen at these external ports as a result. Note that during
DMA the internally contained XRAM Ports 0 and 2 are
available for use.
The only case in which the MCU will be able to access XRAM
during DMA, is when the internal XRAM is enabled and the
section of RAM to which the DMA ADC results are being written to lies in an external XRAM. Then the MCU will be able to
access the internal XRAM only. This is also the case for use of
the extended stack pointer.
The MicroConverter core can be configured with an interrupt to
be triggered by the DMA controller when it had finished filling
the requested block of RAM with ADC results, allowing the
service routine for this interrupt to postprocess data without any
real-time timing constraints.
REV. 0
CALIBRATING THE ADC
There are two hardware calibration modes provided which can
be easily initiated by user software. The ADCCON3 SFR is
used to calibrate the ADC. Bit 1 (TYPICAL) and the CS3 to
CS0 (ADCCON2) set up the calibration modes.
Device calibration can be initiated to compensate for significant
changes in operating conditions frequency, analog input range,
reference voltage and supply voltages. In this calibration mode,
offset calibration uses internal AGND selected via ADCCON2
register bits CS3–CS0 (1011) and gain calibration uses internal
VREF selected by CS3–CS0 (1100). Offset calibration should be
executed first, followed by gain calibration.
System calibration can be initiated to compensate for both internal and external system errors. To perform system calibration
using an external reference, tie system ground and reference to
any two of the six selectable inputs. Enable external reference
mode (ADCCON1.6). Select the channel connected to AGND
via CS3–CS0 and perform system offset calibration. Select the
channel connected to VREF via CS3–CS0 and perform system
gain calibration.
The ADC should be configured to use settings for an ADCCLK
of divide by 16 and 4 acquisition clocks.

INITIATING CALIBRATION IN CODE
When calibrating the ADC, using ADCCON1 the ADC should

;select external AGND

TCAL = 14 × ADCCLK × NUMAV × (16 + TACQ )
For an ADCCLK/FCORE divide ratio of 16, a TACQ = 4 ADCCLK,
NUMAV = 15, the calibration cycle time is:
TCAL = 14 × (1 / 1000000 ) × 15 × (16 + 4 )
TCAL = 4.2 ms
In a calibration cycle the ADC busy flag (Bit 7), instead of
framing an individual ADC conversion as in normal mode, will
go high at the start of calibration and only return to zero at the
end of the calibration cycle. It can therefore be monitored in
code to indicate when the calibration cycle is completed. The

NONVOLATILE FLASH/EE MEMORY
Flash/EE Memory Overview
The ADuC831 incorporates Flash/EE memory technology on-chip
to provide the user with nonvolatile, in-circuit reprogrammable
code, and data memory space. Flash/EE memory is a relatively
recent type of nonvolatile memory technology and is based on a
single transistor cell architecture.
This technology is basically an outgrowth of EPROM technology
and was developed through the late 1980s. Flash/EE memory
takes the flexible in-circuit reprogrammable features of EEPROM
and combines them with the space efficient/density features of
EPROM (see Figure 17).
Because Flash/EE technology is based on a single transistor cell
architecture, a Flash memory array, like EPROM, can be implemented to achieve the space efficiencies or memory densities
required by a given design. Like EEPROM, Flash memory can
be programmed in-system at a byte level, although it must first be
erased; the erase being performed in page blocks. Thus, Flash
memory is often and more correctly referred to as Flash/EE memory.

Figure 17. Flash/EE Memory Development
Overall, Flash/EE memory represents a step closer to the ideal
memory device that includes nonvolatility, in-circuit programmability, high density and low cost. Incorporated in the ADuC831,
Flash/EE memory technology allows the user to update program
code space in-circuit, without the need to replace onetime
programmable (OTP) devices at remote operating nodes.
Endurance quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to be
cycled through many program, read, and erase cycles. In real
terms, a single endurance cycle is composed of four independent, sequential events. These events are defined as:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Initial page erase sequence
Read/verify sequence
Byte program sequence
Second read/verify sequence
In reliability qualification, every byte in both the program and
data Flash/EE memory is cycled from 00H to FFH until a first
fail is recorded, signifying the endurance limit of the on-chip
Flash/EE memory.
As indicated in the specification pages of this data sheet, the
ADuC831 Flash/EE Memory Endurance qualification has been
carried out in accordance with JEDEC Specification A117 over
the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +25°C and +85°C
to +125°C. The results allow the specification of a minimum
endurance figure over supply and temperature of 100,000
cycles, with an endurance figure of 700,000 cycles being typical
of operation at 25°C.
Retention quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to
retain its programmed data over time. Again, the ADuC831 has
been qualified in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention
Lifetime Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature
(TJ = 55°C). As part of this qualification procedure, the Flash/EE
memory is cycled to its specified endurance limit described above
before data retention is characterized. This means that the
Flash/EE memory is guaranteed to retain its data for its full
specified retention lifetime every time the Flash/EE memory is
reprogrammed. It should also be noted that retention lifetime,
based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV, will derate with TJ as
shown in Figure 18.

The ADuC831 provides two arrays of Flash/EE memory for user
applications. 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program space are provided
on-chip to facilitate code execution without any external discrete ROM device requirements. The program memory can be
programmed in-circuit using the serial download mode provided,
using conventional third party memory programmers, or via a
user defined protocol that can configure it as data if required.
A 4 kByte Flash/EE data memory space is also provided on-chip.
This may be used as a general-purpose nonvolatile scratchpad
area. User access to this area is via a group of six SFRs. This
space can be programmed at a byte level, although it must first
be erased in 4-byte pages.

to ensure that the bootloader always executes the correct code
after reset.
Using the Flash/EE Program Memory
The 62 kByte Flash/EE program memory array is mapped into the
lower 62 kBytes of the 64 kBytes program space addressable by
the ADuC831, and is used to hold user code in typical applications.
The program memory Flash/EE memory arrays can be programmed
in three ways:
Programming the Flash/EE program memory via ULOAD
mode is described in more detail in the description of ECON
and also in technical note uC007.
(1) Serial Downloading (In-Circuit Programming)
EMBEDDED DOWNLOAD/DEBUG KERNEL
PERMANENTLY EMBEDDED FIRMWARE ALLOWS
CODE TO BE DOWNLOADED TO ANY OF THE
62 kBYTES OF ON-CHIP PROGRAM MEMORY. THE
KERNEL PROGRAM APPEARS AS 'NOP' INSTRUCTIONS TO USER CODE.
The ADuC831 facilitates code download via the standard
UART serial port. The ADuC831 will enter serial download
mode after a reset or power cycle if the PSEN pin is pulled low
through an external 1 k resistor. Once in serial download
mode, the user can download code to the full 62 kBytes of
Flash/EE program memory while the device is in circuit in its
target application hardware.

The parallel programming mode is fully compatible with conventional third party Flash or EEPROM device programmers.
In this mode Ports P0, P1, and P2 operate as the external data
and address bus interface, ALE operates as the Write Enable
strobe, and Port P3 is used as a general configuration port that
configures the device for various program and erase operations
during parallel programming. The high voltage (12 V) supply
required for Flash programming is generated using on-chip charge
pumps to supply the high voltage program lines.

The complete parallel programming specification is available on the

(3) User Download Mode (ULOAD)
In Figure 19 we can see that it was possible to use the 62 kBytes
of Flash/EE program memory available to the user as one single
block of memory. In this mode all of the Flash/EE memory is
read-only to user code.
However, the Flash/EE program memory can also be written to
during runtime simply by entering ULOAD mode. In ULOAD
mode the lower 56 kBytes of program memory can be erased
and reprogrammed by user software as shown in Figure 19.
ULOAD mode can be used to upgrade your code in the field via
any user defined download protocol. Configuring the SPI port
on the ADuC831 as a slave, it is possible to completely reprogram the 56 kBytes of Flash/EE program memory in only
5 seconds (see uC007).
Alternatively, ULOAD mode can be used to save data to the
56 kBytes of Flash/EE memory. This can be extremely useful in
data logging applications where the ADuC831 can provide up
to 60 kBytes of NV data memory on chip (4 kBytes of dedicated
Flash/EE data memory also exist).
The upper 6 kBytes of the 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program
memory is only programmable via serial download or parallel
programming. This means that this space appears as read only
to user code. Therefore, it cannot be accidentally erased or
reprogrammed by erroneous code execution. This makes it very
suitable to use the 6 kBytes as a bootloader. A Bootload Enable
option exists in the serial downloader to “Always RUN from E000h

The ADuC831 facilitates three modes of Flash/EE program
memory security. These modes can be independently activated, restricting access to the internal code space. These
security modes can be enabled as part of serial download
protocol as described in technical note uC004 or via parallel
programming. The security modes available on the ADuC831
are described as follows:
Lock Mode
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel programming of the program memory. However, reading the memory in
parallel mode and reading the memory via a MOVC command
from external memory is still allowed. This mode is deactivated
by initiating a code-erase command in serial download or parallel
programming modes.
Secure Mode
This mode locks code in memory, disabling parallel programming
(program and verify/read commands) as well as disabling the
execution of a ‘MOVC’ instruction from external memory, which
is attempting to read the op codes from internal memory. Read/
Write of internal data Flash/EE from external memory is also
disabled. This mode is deactivated by initiating a code-erase
command in serial download or parallel programming modes.
Serial Safe Mode
This mode disables serial download capability on the device. If
Serial Safe mode is activated and an attempt is made to reset
the part into serial download mode, i.e., RESET asserted and
de-asserted with PSEN low, the part will interpret the serial
download reset as a normal reset only. It will therefore not enter
serial download mode but only execute a normal reset sequence.
Serial Safe mode can only be disabled by initiating a code-erase
command in parallel programming mode.

The 4 kBytes of Flash/EE data memory is configured as 1024
pages, each of four bytes. As with the other ADuC831 peripherals,
the interface to this memory space is via a group of registers mapped
in the SFR space. A group of four data registers (EDATA1–4)
are used to hold the four bytes of data at each page. The page is
addressed via the two registers EADRH and EADRL. Finally,
ECON is an 8-bit control register that may be written with one
of nine Flash/EE memory access commands to trigger various
read, write, erase, and verify functions.

Example: Programming the Flash/EE Data Memory
Flash/EE Memory Timing
A user wishes to program F3H into the second byte on Page
03H of the Flash/EE data memory space while preserving the
other three bytes already in this page.
Typical program and erase times for the ADuC831 are as
follows:
NORMAL MODE (operating on Flash/EE data memory)
A typical program of the Flash/EE Data array will involve:
READPAGE (4 bytes)
WRITEPAGE (4 bytes)
VERIFYPAGE (4 bytes)
ERASEPAGE (4 bytes)
ERASEALL (4 kBytes)
READBYTE (1 byte)
WRITEBYTE (1 byte)
1) setting EADRH/L with the page address
2) writing the data to be programmed to the EDATA1–4
3) writing the ECON SFR with the appropriate command
Step 1: Set Up the Page Address
The two address registers EADRH and EADRL hold the high
byte address and the low byte address of the page to be
addressed. The assembly language to set up the address may
appear as:
MOV EADRH,#0
; Set Page Address Pointer
MOV EADRL,#03H
ULOAD MODE (operating on Flash/EE program memory)
WRITEPAGE (256 bytes)
ERASEPAGE (64 bytes)
ERASEALL (56 kBytes)
WRITEBYTE (1 byte)
Step 2: Set Up the EDATA Registers
We must now write the four values to be written into the page
into the four SFRs EDATA–14. Unfortunately, we do not know
three of them. Thus, we must read the current page and overwrite the second byte.
MOV ECON,#1
MOV EDATA2,#0F3H
; Read Page into EDATA1-4
; Overwrite byte 2
Step 3: Program Page
A byte in the Flash/EE array can only be programmed if it has
previously been erased. To be more specific, a byte can only be
programmed if it already holds the value FFH. Because of the
Flash/EE architecture, this erase must happen at a page level;
therefore, a minimum of four bytes (one page) will be erased
when an erase command is initiated. Once the page is erased we
can program the four bytes in-page and then perform a verification
of the data.

It should be noted that a given mode of operation is initiated as
soon as the command word is written to the ECON SFR. The
core microcontroller operation on the ADuC831 is idled until the
requested Program/Read or Erase mode is completed.
In practice, this means that even though the Flash/EE memory
mode of operation is typically initiated with a two-machine cycle
MOV instruction (to write to the ECON SFR), the next instruction will not be executed until the Flash/EE operation is complete.
This means that the core will not respond to interrupt requests
until the Flash/EE operation is complete, although the core
peripheral functions like counter/timers will continue to count
and time as configured throughout this period.

Although the 4 kBytes of Flash/EE data memory are shipped
from the factory pre-erased, i.e., byte locations set to FFH, it is
nonetheless good programming practice to include an erase-all
routine as part of any configuration/setup code running on the
ADuC831. An “ERASE-ALL” command consists of writing
“06H” to the ECON SFR, which initiates an erase of the
4 kByte Flash/EE array. This command coded in 8051 assembly
would appear as:

USER INTERFACE TO OTHER ON-CHIP ADuC831
PERIPHERALS
The following section gives a brief overview of the various
peripherals also available on-chip. A summary of the SFRs
used to control and configure these peripherals is also given.
DAC
The ADuC831 incorporates two 12-bit, voltage output DACs
on-chip. Each has a rail-to-rail voltage output buffer capable of
driving 10 kΩ/100 pF. Each has two selectable ranges, 0 V to
VREF (the internal band gap 2.5 V reference) and 0 V to AVDD.
Each can operate in 12-bit or 8-bit mode. Both DACs share a
control register, DACCON, and four data registers, DAC1H/L,
DAC0H/L. It should be noted that in 12-bit asynchronous
mode, the DAC voltage output will be updated as soon as the
DACL data SFR has been written; therefore, the DAC data
registers should be updated as DACH first, followed by DACL.
Note: for correct DAC operation on the 0 to VREF range, the
ADC must be switched on. This results in the DAC using the
correct reference value.

Using the DAC
The on-chip DAC architecture consists of a resistor string DAC
followed by an output buffer amplifier, the functional equivalent
of which is illustrated in Figure 21. Details of the actual DAC
architecture can be found in U.S. Patent Number 5969657
(www.uspto.gov). Features of this architecture include inherent
guaranteed monotonicity and excellent differential linearity.

Figure 21. Resistor String DAC Functional Equivalent
As illustrated in Figure 21, the reference source for each DAC is
user selectable in software. It can be either AVDD or VREF. In
0-to-AVDD mode, the DAC output transfer function spans from
0 V to the voltage at the AVDD pin. In 0-to-VREF mode, the
DAC output transfer function spans from 0 V to the internal
VREF, or if an external reference is applied, the voltage at the
VREF pin. The DAC output buffer amplifier features a true railto-rail output stage implementation. This means that, unloaded,
each output is capable of swinging to within less than 100 mV of
both AVDD and ground. Moreover, the DAC’s linearity specification (when driving a 10 kΩ resistive load to ground) is
guaranteed through the full transfer function except codes 0 to
100, and, in 0-to-AVDD mode only, codes 3945 to 4095. Linearity degradation near ground and VDD is caused by saturation of
the output amplifier, and a general representation of its effects
(neglecting offset and gain error) is illustrated in Figure 22. The
dotted line in Figure 22 indicates the ideal transfer function,
and the solid line represents what the transfer function might
look like with endpoint nonlinearities due to saturation of the
output amplifier. Note that Figure 22 represents a transfer
function in 0-to-VDD mode only. In 0-to-VREF mode (with VREF
< VDD) the lower nonlinearity would be similar, but the upper
portion of the transfer function would follow the “ideal” line
right to the end (VREF in this case, not VDD), showing no signs
of endpoint linearity errors.
The end point nonlinearities conceptually illustrated in Figure
22 get worse as a function of output loading. Most of the
ADuC831’s data sheet specifications assume a 10 kΩ resistive
load to ground at the DAC output. As the output is forced to
source or sink more current, the nonlinear regions at the top or
bottom (respectively) of Figure 22 become larger. With larger
current demands, this can significantly limit output voltage
swing. Figure 23 and Figure 24 illustrate this behavior. It
should be noted that the upper trace in each of these figures is
only valid for an output range selection of 0-to-AVDD. In 0-toVREF mode, DAC loading will not cause highside voltage drops
as long as the reference voltage remains below the upper trace in
the corresponding figure. For example, if AVDD = 3 V and VREF
= 2.5 V, the highside voltage will not be affected by loads less
than 5 mA. But somewhere around 7 mA the upper curve in
Figure 24 drops below 2.5 V (VREF) indicating that at these
higher currents the output will not be capable of reaching VREF.

To reduce the effects of the saturation of the output amplifier at
values close to ground and to give reduced offset and gain errors,
the internal buffer can be bypassed. This is done by setting the
DBUF bit in the CFG831 register. This allows a full rail-to-rail
output from the DAC which should then be buffered externally
using a dual supply op-amp in order to get a rail-to-rail output.
This external buffer should be located as near as physically
possible to the DAC output pin on the PCB. Note the unbuffed
mode only works in the 0 to VREF range.
The DAC output buffer also features a high-impedance disable
function. In the chip’s default power-on state, both DACs are
disabled, and their outputs are in a high-impedance state (or
“three-state”) where they remain inactive until enabled in software.
This means that if a zero output is desired during power-up or
power-down transient conditions, then a pull-down resistor must
be added to each DAC output. Assuming this resistor is in place,
the DAC outputs will remain at ground potential whenever the
DAC is disabled.

The PWM uses five SFRs: the control SFR (PWMCON), and
four data SFRs (PWM0H, PWM0L, PWM1H, and PWM1L).
PWMCON (as described below) controls the different modes of
operation of the PWM as well as the PWM clock frequency.
PWM0H/L and PWM1H/L are the data registers that determine
the duty cycles of the PWM outputs. The output pins that the
PWM uses are determined by the CFG831 register and they can
be either P2.6 and P2.7 or P3.4 and P3.3. In this section of the
data sheet, it is assumed that P2.6 and P2.7 are selected as the
PWM outputs.
To use the PWM user software, first write to PWMCON to select
the PWM mode of operation and the PWM input clock. Writing
to PWMCON also resets the PWM counter. In any of the 16-bit
modes of operation (modes 1, 3, 4, 6), user software should
write to the PWM0L or PWM1L SFRs first. This value is written
to a hidden SFR. Writing to the PWM0H or PWM1H SFRs
updates both the PWMxH and the PWMxL SFRs but does not
change the outputs until the end of the PWM cycle in progress.
The values written to these 16-bit registers are then used in the
next PWM cycle.

PWM1H/L sets the period of the output waveform. Reducing
PWM1H/L reduces the resolution of the PWM output but
increases the maximum output rate of the PWM.
P2.7
(For example, setting PWM1H/L to 65536 gives a 16-bit PWM
with a maximum output rate of 244 Hz (16 MHz/65536). Setting
PWM1H/L to 4096 gives a 12-bit PWM with a maximum output
rate of 3906 Hz (16 MHz/4096).)
PWM0H/L sets the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform, as
shown in the diagram below.
Figure 28. PWM Mode 2
MODE 3: Twin 16-Bit PWM
In Mode 3, the PWM counter is fixed to count from 0 to 65536
giving a fixed 16-bit PWM. Operating from the 16 MHz core clock
results in a PWM output rate of 244 Hz. The duty cycle of the
PWM outputs at P2.6 and P2.7 are independently programmable.
As shown in Figure 29, while the PWM counter is less than
PWM0H/L, the output of PWM0 (P2.6) is high. Once the PWM
counter equals PWM0H/L, then PWM0 (P2.6) goes low and
remains low until the PWM counter rolls over.

Similarly while the PWM counter is less than PWM1H/L, the

PWM1H/L, then PWM1 (P2.7) goes low and remains low until
the PWM counter rolls over.

In this mode, both PWM outputs are synchronized. Once the
PWM counter rolls over to 0, both PWM0 (P2.6) and PWM1
(P2.7) will go high.

PWM1L sets the period for both PWM outputs. Typically, this

The outputs of the PWM at P2.6 and P2.7 are shown in the

PWM1 (P2.7) goes high when the PWM counter equals PWM1H,
and goes low again when the PWM counter equals PWM0H.
Setting PWM1H to 0 ensures that both PWM outputs start

Mode 4 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a

clock equal to 16 MHz.
PWM1H
PWM0L
In this mode P2.6 and P2.7 are updated every PWM clock
(62 ns in the case of 16 MHz). Over any 65536 cycles (16 bit
PWM) PWM0 (P2.6) is high for PWM0H/L cycles and low for
(65536 - PWM0H/L) cycles. Similarly PWM1 (P2.7) is high for
PWM1H/L cycles and low for (65536 - PWM1H/L) cycles.
For example, if PWM1H was set to 4010H (slightly above one
quarter of FS) then typically P2.7 will be low for three clocks
and high for one clock (each clock is approximately 80 ns). Over
every 65536 clocks the PWM will compensate for the fact that
the output should be slightly above one quarter of full scale by
having a high cycle followed by only two low cycles.

MODE 6: Dual RZ 16-Bit - DAC
Mode 6 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a
- DAC. Mode 6 operates very similarly to Mode 4. However,
the key difference is that Mode 6 provides return to zero (RZ)
- DAC output. Mode 4 provides non-return-to-zero - DAC
outputs. The RZ mode ensures that any difference in the rise
and fall times will not effect the - DAC INL. However, the
RZ mode halves the dynamic range of the - DAC outputs
from 0–AVDD down to 0–AVDD/2. For best results, this mode
should be used with a PWM clock divider of four.
If PWM1H was set to 4010H (slightly above one quarter of
FS), then typically P2.7 will be low for three full clocks (3 62 ns), high for half a clock (31 ns) and then low again for half
a clock (31 ns) before repeating itself. Over every 65536 clocks
the PWM will compensate for the fact that the output should be
slightly above one quarter of full scale by leaving the output
high for two half clocks in four every so often.

ADuC831
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
The ADuC831 integrates a complete hardware Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) on-chip. SPI is an industry standard synchronous
serial interface that allows eight bits of data to be synchronously
transmitted and received simultaneously, i.e., full duplex.
It should be noted that the SPI pins are shared with the I2C
interface pins. Therefore, the user can only enable one or the
other interface at any given time (see SPE in Table XI below).
The SPI Port can be configured for Master or Slave operation,
and typically consists of four pins, namely:
MISO (Master In, Slave Out Data I/O Pin)
The MISO (master in slave out) pin is configured as an input
line in master mode and an output line in slave mode. The MISO
line on the master (data in) should be connected to the MISO
line in the slave device (data out). The data is transferred as
byte wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
MOSI (Master Out, Slave In Pin)
The MOSI (master out slave in) pin is configured as an output line
in master mode and an input line in slave mode. The MOSI
line on the master (data out) should be connected to the MOSI
line in the slave device (data in). The data is transferred as byte
wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
SCLOCK (Serial Clock I/O Pin)
The master serial clock (SCLOCK) is used to synchronize the
data being transmitted and received through the MOSI and MISO

data lines. A single data bit is transmitted and received in each
SCLOCK period. Therefore, a byte is transmitted/received
after eight SCLOCK periods. The SCLOCK pin is configured as
an output in master mode and as an input in slave mode. In master
mode the bit-rate, polarity and phase of the clock are controlled by
the CPOL, CPHA, SPR0, and SPR1 bits in the SPICON SFR
(see Table XI). In slave mode the SPICON register will have to
be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and CPOL) of
the expected input clock. In both master and slave modes, the data
is transmitted on one edge of the SCLOCK signal and sampled
on the other. It is important therefore, that the CPHA and CPOL
are configured the same for the master and slave devices.
Slave Select Input Pin (SS)
The Slave Select (SS) input pin is shared with the ADC5 input.
In order to configure this pin as a digital input, the bit must be
cleared, e.g., CLR P1.5.
This line is active low. Data is only received or transmitted in slave
mode when the SS pin is low, allowing the ADuC831 to be used
in single master, multislave SPI configurations. If CPHA = 1 then the
SS input may be permanently pulled low. With CPHA = 0, the SS
input must be driven low before the first bit in a byte wide transmission or reception and return high again after the last bit in that byte
wide transmission or reception. In SPI slave mode, the logic level on
the external SS pin can be read via the SPR0 bit in the SPICON SFR.
The following SFR registers are used to control the SPI interface.

Using the SPI Interface
SPI Interface—Master Mode
Depending on the configuration of the bits in the SPICON SFR
shown in Table XI, the ADuC831 SPI interface will transmit or
receive data in a number of possible modes. Figure 33 shows all
possible ADuC831 SPI configurations and the timing relationships and synchronization between the signals involved. Also
shown in this figure is the SPI interrupt bit (ISPI) and how it is
triggered at the end of each byte-wide communication.
In master mode, the SCLOCK pin is always an output and generates a burst of eight clocks whenever user code writes to the
SPIDAT register. The SCLOCK bit rate is determined by
SPR0 and SPR1 in SPICON. It should also be noted that the
SS pin is not used in master mode. If the ADuC831 needs to
assert the SS pin on an external slave device, a port digital output
pin should be used.

With each SCLOCK period a data bit is also sampled via MISO.
After eight clocks, the transmitted byte will have been completely

register. The ISPI flag will be set automatically and an interrupt
will occur if enabled. The value in the shift register will be latched

Transmission is also initiated by a write to SPIDAT. In slave

via MOSI through each input SCLOCK period. After eight clocks,
the transmitted byte will have been completely transmitted and the

will be set automatically and an interrupt will occur if enabled.
The value in the shift register will be latched into SPIDAT only
when the transmission/reception of a byte has been completed.
The end of transmission occurs after the eighth clock has been
received if CPHA = 1, or when SS returns high if CPHA = 0.

ADuC831
I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The ADuC831 supports a fully licensed* I2C serial interface. The
I2C interface is implemented as a full hardware slave and software
master. SDATA is the data I/O pin and SCLOCK is the serial
clock. These two pins are shared with the MOSI and SCLOCK pins
of the on-chip SPI interface. Therefore, the user can only enable
one or the other interface at any given time (see SPE in SPICON
previously). Application Note uC001 describes the operation
of this interface as implemented, and is available from the
MicroConverter website at www.analog.com/microconverter.

ADuC831
The main features of the MicroConverter I2C interface are:
• Only two bus lines are required; a serial data line (SDATA)
and a serial clock line (SCLOCK).
• An I2C master can communicate with multiple slave devices.
Because each slave device has a unique 7-bit address, single
master/slave relationships can exist at all times even in
a multislave environment (Figure 34).
Once enabled in I2C slave mode the slave controller waits for a
START condition. If the ADuC831 detects a valid start condition, followed by a valid address, followed by the R/W bit, the
I2CI interrupt bit will get set by the hardware automatically.
The I2C peripheral will only generate a core interrupt if the user
has preconfigured the I2C interrupt enable bit in the IEIP2 SFR
as well as the global interrupt bit EA in the IE SFR.

• On-Chip filtering rejects <50 ns spikes on the SDATA and
the SCLOCK lines to preserve data integrity.
On the ADuC831 an autoclear of the I2CI bit is implemented
so this bit is cleared automatically on a read or write access to
the I2CDAT SFR.

then the I2C controller will halt. The interface will then have to
be reset using the I2CRS bit.

Figure 34. Typical I 2C System
Software Master Mode
The ADuC831 can be used as an I2C master device by configuring the I2C peripheral in master mode and writing software to
output the data bit by bit. This is referred to as a software master.
Master mode is enabled by setting the I2CM bit in the I2CCON
register.
To transmit data on the SDATA line, MDE must be set to
enable the output driver on the SDATA pin. If MDE is set, then
the SDATA pin will be pulled high or low depending on
whether the MDO bit is set or cleared. MCO controls the
SCLOCK pin and is always configured as an output in master
mode. In master mode the SCLOCK pin will be pulled high or
low depending on the whether MCO is set or cleared.
To receive data, MDE must be cleared to disable the output
driver on SDATA. Software must provide the clocks by toggling
the MCO bit and read the SDATA pin via the MDI bit. If MDE
is cleared MDI can be used to read the SDATA pin. The value of
the SDATA pin is latched into MDI on a rising edge of SCLOCK.
MDI is set if the SDATA pin was high on the last rising edge of
SCLOCK. MDI is cleared if the SDATA pin was low on the last
rising edge of SCLOCK.
Software must control MDO, MCO, and MDE appropriately to
generate the START condition, slave address, acknowledge bits,
data bytes, and STOP conditions appropriately. These functions
are provided in technical note uC001.
Hardware Slave Mode
After reset the ADuC831 defaults to hardware slave mode. The
I2C interface is enabled by clearing the SPE bit in SPICON.
Slave mode is enabled by clearing the I2CM bit in I2CCON.
The ADuC831 has a full hardware slave. In slave mode the I2C
address is stored in the I2CADD register. Data received or to be
transmitted is stored in the I2CDAT register.
REV. 0
I2CDAT, A
A, I2CDAT
The user can choose to poll the I2CI bit or enable the interrupt.
In the case of the interrupt, the PC counter will vector to
003BH at the end of each complete byte. For the first byte
when the user gets to the I2CI ISR, the 7-bit address and the
R/W bit will appear in the I2CDAT SFR.
The I2CTX bit contains the R/W bit sent from the master. If
I2CTX is set then the master would like to receive a byte.
Thus the slave will transmit data by writing to the I2CDAT
register. If I2CTX is cleared, the master would like to transmit
a byte. Therefore, the slave will receive a serial byte. Software
can interrogate the state of I2CTX to determine whether it
should write to or read from I2CDAT.
Once the ADuC831 has received a valid address, hardware will
hold SCLOCK low until the I2CI bit is cleared by software.
This allows the master to wait for the slave to be ready before
transmitting the clocks for the next byte.
The I2CI interrupt bit will be set every time a complete data
byte is received or transmitted, provided it is followed by a valid
ACK. If the byte is followed by a NACK an interrupt is NOT
generated. The ADuC831 will continue to issue interrupts for
each complete data byte transferred until a STOP condition is
received or the interface is reset.
When a STOP condition is received, the interface will reset to a
state where it is waiting to be addressed (idle). Similarly, if the
interface receives a NACK at the end of a sequence it also returns
to the default idle state. The I2CRS bit can be used to reset the
I2C interface. This bit can be used to force the interface back to
the default idle state.
It should be noted that there is no way (in hardware) to distinguish
between an interrupt generated by a received START + valid
address and an interrupt generated by a received data byte. User
software must be used to distinguish between these interrupts.

POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
As its name suggests, the Power Supply Monitor, once enabled,
monitors the DVDD supply on the ADuC831. It will indicate
when any of the supply pins drops below one of four userselectable voltage trip points, from 4.63 V to 4.39 V. For
correct operation of the Power Supply Monitor function, AVDD
must be equal to or greater than 2.7 V. Monitor function is
controlled via the PSMCON SFR. If enabled via the IEIP2 SFR,
the monitor will interrupt the core using the PSMI bit in the
PSMCON SFR. This bit will not be cleared until the failing power
supply has returned above the trip point for at least 250 ms. This
monitor function allows the user to save working registers to
avoid possible data loss due to the low supply condition, and also
ensures that normal code execution will not resume until a safe
supply level has been well established. The supply monitor is also
protected against spurious glitches triggering the interrupt circuit.

Power Supply Monitor Interrupt Bit.
This bit will be set high by the MicroConverter if either CMPA or CMPD is low, indicating low analog

is cleared. PSMI can also be written by the user. However, if either comparator output is low, it is
not possible for the user to clear PSMI.

ADuC831
WATCHDOG TIMER
The purpose of the watchdog timer is to generate a device
reset or interrupt within a reasonable amount of time if the
ADuC831 enters an erroneous state, possibly due to a programming error or electrical noise. The watchdog function can be
disabled by clearing the WDE (Watchdog Enable) bit in the
Watchdog Control (WDCON) SFR. When enabled, the watchdog circuit will generate a system reset or interrupt (WDS) if
the user program fails to set the watchdog (WDE) bit within a
predetermined amount of time (see PRE3–0 bits in WDCON).
The watchdog timer itself is a 16-bit counter that is clocked at
32 kHz by the internal R/C oscillator. The watchdog time out
interval can be adjusted via the PRE3–0 bits in WDCON. Full
control and status of the watchdog timer function can be controlled via the watchdog timer control SFR (WDCON). The
WDCON SFR can only be written by user software if the
double write sequence described in WDWR below is initiated
on every write access to the WDCON SFR.

Watchdog Interrupt Response Enable Bit.
If this bit is set by the user, the watchdog will generate an interrupt response instead of a
system reset when the watchdog timeout period has expired. This interrupt is not disabled by
the CLR EA instruction and it is also a fixed, high-priority interrupt. If the watchdog is not
being used to monitor the system, it can alternatively be used as a timer. The prescaler is used
to set the timeout period in which an interrupt will be generated.
Watchdog Status Bit.
Set by the Watchdog Controller to indicate that a watchdog timeout has occurred.
Cleared by writing a “0” or by an external hardware reset. It is not cleared by a watchdog reset.
Watchdog Enable Bit.
Set by the user to enable the watchdog and clear its counters. If this bit is not set by the user
within the watch dog timeout period, the watchdog will generate a reset or interrupt, depending
on WDIR. Cleared under the following conditions, user writes “0,” Watchdog Reset (WDIR = “0”);

ADuC831
TCEN
TIME INTERVAL COUNTER (TIC)
A time interval counter is provided on-chip for counting longer
intervals than the standard 8051 compatible timers are capable
of. The TIC is capable of timeout intervals ranging from 1/128
second to 255 hours. Furthermore, this counter is clocked by
an internal R/C oscillator rather than the external crystal and
has the ability to remain active in power-down mode and time
long power-down intervals. This has obvious applications for
remote battery-powered sensors where regular widely spaced
readings are required. The R/C oscillator is accurate to +10% at
25ºC. Note: Instructions to the TIC SFRs are also clocked at
32 kHz, sufficient time must be allowed for in user code for
these instructions to execute.
Six SFRs are associated with the time interval counter, TIMECON
being its control register. Depending on the configuration of the
IT0 and IT1 bits in TIMECON, the selected time counter register overflow will clock the interval counter. When this counter is
equal to the time interval value loaded in the INTVAL SFR, the
TII bit (TIMECON.2) is set and generates an interrupt if enabled.
If the ADuC831 is in power-down mode, again with TIC interrupt enabled, the TII bit will wake up the device and resume
code execution by vectoring directly to the TIC interrupt service
vector address at 0053H. The TIC-related SFRs are described
below. Note also that the time-base SFRs can be written initially
with the current time, the TIC can then be controlled and
accessed by user software. In effect, this facilitates the implementation of a real-time clock. A block diagram of the TIC is
shown in Figure 35.

8052 COMPATIBLE ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
This section gives a brief overview of the various secondary
peripheral circuits that are also available to the user on-chip.
These remaining functions are mostly 8052 compatible (with a
few additional features) and are controlled via standard 8052
SFR bit definitions.
Parallel I/O
The ADuC831 uses four input/output ports to exchange data
with external devices. In addition to performing general-purpose
I/O, some ports are capable of external memory operations while
others are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral
features on the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled,
that pin may not be used as a general-purpose I/O pin.
Port 0
Port 0 is an 8-bit, open-drain, bidirectional I/O port that is directly
controlled via the Port 0 SFR. Port 0 is also the multiplexed
low-order address and data bus during accesses to external program or data memory.
Figure 36 shows a typical bit latch and I/O buffer for a Port 0
port pin. The bit latch (one bit in the port’s SFR) is represented
as a Type D flip-flop, which will clock in a value from the internal bus in response to a “write to latch” signal from the CPU.
The Q output of the flip-flop is placed on the internal bus in
response to a “read latch” signal from the CPU. The level of the
port pin itself is placed on the internal bus in response to a
“read pin” signal from the CPU. Some instructions that read a
port activate the “read latch” signal, and others activate the
“read pin” signal. See the following Read-Modify-Write Instructions section for more details.
ADDR/DATA
WRITE
TO LATCH
Port 1 is also an 8-bit port directly controlled via the P1 SFR.
Port 1 digital output capability is not supported on this device.
Port 1 pins can be configured as digital inputs or analog inputs.
By (power-on) default these pins are configured as analog
inputs, i.e., 1 written in the corresponding Port 1 register bit.
To configure any of these pins as digital inputs, the user should
write a 0 to these port bits to configure the corresponding pin as
a high impedance digital input.
These pins also have various secondary functions described in
Table XVII.

As shown in Figure 36, the output drivers of Port 0 pins are
switchable to an internal ADDR and ADDR/DATA bus by an
internal CONTROL signal for use in external memory accesses.
During external memory accesses the P0 SFR gets 1s written to it
(i.e., all of its bit latches become 1). When accessing external
memory, the CONTROL signal in Figure 36 goes high, enabling
push-pull operation of the output pin from the internal address or
data bus (ADDR/DATA line). Therefore, no external pull-ups are
required on Port 0 in order for it to access external memory.

BUS
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 0 pins that have 1s written
to them via the Port 0 SFR will be configured as “open drain”
and will therefore float. In this state, Port 0 pins can be used as
high impedance inputs. This is represented in Figure 36 by the
NAND gate whose output remains high as long as the CONTROL
signal is low, thereby disabling the top FET. External pull-up
resistors are therefore required when Port 0 pins are used as
general-purpose outputs. Port 0 pins with 0s written to them
will drive a logic low output voltage (VOL) and will be capable of
sinking 1.6 mA.
Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors
directly controlled via the P2 SFR. Port 2 also emits the high
order address bytes during fetches from external program memory
and middle and high order address bytes during accesses to the
24-bit external data memory space.
As shown in Figure 38, the output drivers of Ports 2 are switchable
to an internal ADDR and ADDR/DATA bus by an internal
CONTROL signal for use in external memory accesses (as for
Port 0). In external memory addressing mode (CONTROL = 1)
the port pins feature push-pull operation controlled by the internal address bus (ADDR line). However, unlike the P0 SFR
during external memory accesses, the P2 SFR remains unchanged.
–47–
ADuC831
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 2 pins that have 1s written
to them are pulled high by the internal pull-ups (Figure 39) and,
in that state, they can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins
being pulled externally low will source current because of the
internal pull-up resistors. Port 2 pins with 0s written to them
will drive a logic low output voltage (VOL) and will be capable of
sinking 1.6 mA.

only one of the pull-down FETs (Q3) operates on each pin
resulting in sink capabilities identical to that of Port 0 and
Port 2 pins.

Figure 39. Internal Pull-Up Configuration
Port 3
Port 3 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-ups directly controlled via the P3 SFR. Port 3 pins that have 1s written to them
are pulled high by the internal pull-ups, and in that state, can be
used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins being pulled externally low
will source current because of the internal pull-ups. Port 3 pins
with 0s written to them will drive a logic low output voltage (VOL)
and will be capable of sinking 4 mA.
Port 3 pins also have various secondary functions described in
Table XVIII. The alternate functions of Port 3 pins can only be
activated if the corresponding bit latch in the P3 SFR contains a 1.
Otherwise, the port pin is stuck at 0.
On the input path of SCLOCK, notice that a Schmitt trigger
conditions the signal going to the SPI hardware to prevent false
triggers (double triggers) on slow incoming edges. For incoming
signals from the SCLOCK and SDATA pins going to I2C hardware, a filter conditions the signals in order to reject glitches of
up to 50 ns in duration.
Notice also that direct access to the SCLOCK and SDATA/MOSI
pins is afforded through the SFR interface in I2C master mode.
Therefore, if you are not using the SPI or I2C functions, you can
use these two pins to give additional high current digital outputs.

The reason that read-modify-write instructions are directed to the
latch rather than the pin is to avoid a possible misinterpretation of
the voltage level of a pin. For example, a port pin might be used to
drive the base of a transistor. When a 1 is written to the bit, the
transistor is turned on. If the CPU then reads the same port bit at
the pin rather than the latch, it will read the base voltage of the
transistor and interpret it as a logic 0. Reading the latch rather than
the pin will return the correct value of 1.

ADuC831
In “Counter” function, the TLx register is incremented by a 1-to-0
transition at its corresponding external input pin, T0, T1, or T2.
In this function, the external input is sampled during S5P2 of
every machine cycle. When the samples show a high in one
cycle and a low in the next cycle, the count is incremented. The
new count value appears in the register during S3P1 of the cycle
following the one in which the transition was detected. Since it
takes two machine cycles (24 core clock periods) to recognize a
1-to-0 transition, the maximum count rate is 1/24 of the core
clock frequency. There are no restrictions on the duty cycle of the
external input signal, but to ensure that a given level is sampled
at least once before it changes, it must be held for a minimum of
one full machine cycle.
Timers/Counters
The ADuC831 has three 16-bit Timer/Counters: Timer 0,
Timer 1, and Timer 2. The Timer/Counter hardware has been
included on-chip to relieve the processor core of the overhead
inherent in implementing Timer/Counter functionality in software. Each Timer/Counter consists of two 8-bit registers THx
and TLx (x = 0, 1, and 2). All three can be configured to operate either as timers or event counters.
In “Timer” function, the TLx register is incremented every
machine cycle. Thus, one can think of it as counting machine
cycles. Since a machine cycle consists of 12 core clock periods,
the maximum count rate is 1/12 of the core clock frequency.

TIMER/COUNTER 0 AND 1 OPERATING MODES
Mode 2 (8-Bit Timer/Counter with Autoreload)
The following paragraphs describe the operating modes for
Timer/Counters 0 and 1. Unless otherwise noted, it should be
assumed that these modes of operation are the same for Timer 0
as for Timer 1.
Mode 2 configures the timer register as an 8-bit counter (TL0)
with automatic reload, as shown in Figure 47. Overflow from
TL0 not only sets TF0, but also reloads TL0 with the contents
of TH0, which is preset by software. The reload leaves TH0
unchanged.
Mode 0 (13-Bit Timer/Counter)
Mode 0 configures an 8-bit Timer/Counter with a divide-by-32
prescaler. Figure 45 shows mode 0 operation.

Mode 3 (Two 8-Bit Timer/Counters)
Figure 45. Timer/Counter 0, Mode 0
In this mode, the timer register is configured as a 13-bit register.
As the count rolls over from all 1s to all 0s, it sets the timer overflow flag TF0. The overflow flag, TF0, can then be used to request
an interrupt. The counted input is enabled to the timer when
TR0 = 1 and either Gate = 0 or INT0 = 1. Setting Gate = 1
allows the timer to be controlled by external input INT0, to
facilitate pulsewidth measurements. TR0 is a control bit in the
special function register TCON; Gate is in TMOD. The 13-bit
register consists of all eight bits of TH0 and the lower five bits of
TL0. The upper three bits of TL0 are indeterminate and should
be ignored. Setting the run flag (TR0) does not clear the registers.
Mode 1 (16-Bit Timer/Counter)
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that the timer register is
running with all 16 bits. Mode 1 is shown in Figure 46.
Mode 3 has different effects on Timer 0 and Timer 1. Timer 1 in
Mode 3 simply holds its count. The effect is the same as setting
TR1 = 0. Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two
separate counters. This configuration is shown in Figure 50.
TL0 uses the Timer 0 control bits: C/T, Gate, TR0, INT0, and
TF0. TH0 is locked into a timer function (counting machine
cycles) and takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer 1.
Thus, TH0 now controls the Timer 1 interrupt. Mode 3 is
provided for applications requiring an extra 8-bit timer or counter.
When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned on and off
by switching it out of, and into, its own Mode 3, or can still be
used by the serial interface as a baud rate generator. In fact, it can
be used in any application not requiring an interrupt from
Timer 1 itself.

Timer/Counter Operation Modes
16-Bit Capture Mode
The following paragraphs describe the operating modes for
Timer/Counter 2. The operating modes are selected by bits in the
T2CON SFR as shown in Table XXII.
In the Capture mode, there are again two options, which are
selected by bit EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, then Timer 2
is a 16-bit timer or counter which, upon overflowing, sets bit TF2,
the Timer 2 overflow bit, which can be used to generate an interrupt. If EXEN2 = 1, then Timer 2 still performs the above, but
a l-to-0 transition on external input T2EX causes the current value
in the Timer 2 registers, TL2 and TH2, to be captured into registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H, respectively. In addition, the
transition at T2EX causes bit EXF2 in T2CON to be set, and
EXF2, like TF2, can generate an interrupt. The Capture mode
is illustrated in Figure 50.

In Autoreload mode, there are two options, which are selected

rolls over it not only sets TF2, but also causes the Timer 2 registers
to be reloaded with the 16-bit value in registers RCAP2L and
RCAP2H, which are preset by software. If EXEN2 = 1, then
Timer 2 still performs the above, but with the added feature that
a 1-to-0 transition at external input T2EX will also trigger the
16-bit reload and set EXF2. The Autoreload mode is illustrated
in Figure 49.

The baud rate generator mode is selected by RCLK = 1 and/or

In either case, if Timer 2 is being used to generate the baud
rate, the TF2 interrupt flag will not occur. Therefore, Timer 2
interrupts will not occur so they do not have to be disabled. In
this mode the EXF2 flag, however, can still cause interrupts and
this can be used as a third external interrupt.

UART SERIAL INTERFACE
The serial port is full duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive
simultaneously. It is also receive-buffered, meaning it can commence reception of a second byte before a previously received
byte has been read from the receive register. However, if the first
byte still has not been read by the time reception of the second
byte is complete, the first byte will be lost. The physical interface to
the serial data network is via pins RXD(P3.0) and TXD(P3.1),
while the SFR interface to the UART is comprised of SBUF
and SCON, as described below.
SBUF
The serial port receive and transmit registers are both accessed
through the SBUF SFR (SFR address = 99H). Writing to SBUF
loads the transmit register and reading SBUF accesses a physically separate receive register.

Mode 0: 8-Bit Shift Register Mode
Mode 2: 9-Bit UART with Fixed Baud Rate
Mode 0 is selected by clearing both the SM0 and SM1 bits in
the SFR SCON. Serial data enters and exits through RxD.
TxD outputs the shift clock. Eight data bits are transmitted or
received. Transmission is initiated by any instruction that writes
to SBUF. The data is shifted out of the RxD line. The eight bits
are transmitted with the least-significant bit (LSB) first, as shown
in Figure 51.
Mode 2 is selected by setting SM0 and clearing SM1. In this
mode the UART operates in 9-bit mode with a fixed baud rate.
The baud rate is fixed at Core_Clk/64 by default, although by
setting the SMOD bit in PCON, the frequency can be doubled
to Core_Clk/32. Eleven bits are transmitted or received, a start
bit (0), eight data bits, a programmable ninth bit, and a stop bit
(1). The ninth bit is most often used as a parity bit, although it
can be used for anything, including a ninth data bit if required.

To transmit, the eight data bits must be written into SBUF.
The ninth bit must be written to TB8 in SCON. When transmission is initiated, the eight data bits (from SBUF) are loaded
onto the transmit shift register (LSB first). The contents of TB8
are loaded into the ninth bit position of the transmit shift register. The transmission will start at the next valid baud rate clock.
The TI flag is set as soon as the stop bit appears on TxD.

Reception is initiated when the receive enable bit (REN) is 1 and
the receive interrupt bit (RI) is 0. When RI is cleared the data is
clocked into the RxD line and the clock pulses are output from
the TxD line.
Reception for Mode 2 is similar to that of Mode 1. The eight
data bytes are input at RxD (LSB first) and loaded onto the
receive shift register. When all eight bits have been clocked in,
the following events occur:
The eight bits in the receive shift register are latched into SBUF.
The ninth data bit is latched into RB8 in SCON.
The Receiver Interrupt flag (RI) is set.
Mode 1: 8-Bit UART, Variable Baud Rate
Mode 1 is selected by clearing SM0 and setting SM1. Each data
byte (LSB first) is preceded by a start bit (0) and followed by a
stop bit (1). Therefore, 10 bits are transmitted on TxD or
received on RxD. The baud rate is set by the Timer 1 or Timer 2
overflow rate, or a combination of the two (one for transmission
and the other for reception).
Transmission is initiated by writing to SBUF. The “write to
SBUF” signal also loads a 1 (stop bit) into the ninth bit position
of the transmit shift register. The data is output bit by bit until
the stop bit appears on TxD and the transmit interrupt flag (TI)
is automatically set as shown in Figure 52.

This will be the case if, and only if, the following conditions are
met at the time the final shift pulse is generated:
RI = 0, and either SM2 = 0, or SM2 = 1 and the received stop
bit = 1.
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost, and RI is not set.
Mode 3: 9-Bit UART with Variable Baud Rate
Mode 3 is selected by setting both SM0 and SM1. In this mode,
the 8051 UART serial port operates in 9-bit mode with a variable baud rate determined by either Timer 1 or Timer 2. The
operation of the 9-bit UART is the same as for Mode 2 but the
baud rate can be varied as for Mode 1.
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction
that uses SBUF as a destination register. Reception is initiated
in Mode 0 by the condition RI = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is
initiated in the other modes by the incoming start bit if REN = 1.

The baud rate in Mode 0 is fixed:
Reception is initiated when a 1-to-0 transition is detected on RxD.
Assuming a valid start bit was detected, character reception
continues. The start bit is skipped and the eight data bits are
clocked into the serial port shift register. When all eight bits
have been clocked in, the following events occur:
Mode 0 Baud Rate = (Core Clock Frequency / 12 )
Mode 2 Baud Rate Generation
The eight bits in the receive shift register are latched into SBUF.
The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of the SMOD bit
in the PCON SFR. If SMOD = 0, the baud rate is 1/64 of the core
clock. If SMOD = 1, the baud rate is 1/32 of the core clock:
The ninth bit (Stop bit) is clocked into RB8 in SCON.
Mode 2 Baud Rate = ( 2SMOD / 64 ) × (Core Clock Frequency)
The Receiver Interrupt flag (RI) is set.
This will be the case if, and only if, the following conditions are
met at the time the final shift pulse is generated:
RI = 0, and either SM2 = 0, or SM2 = 1 and the received
stop bit = 1.
Mode 1 and 3 Baud Rate Generation
The baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the overflow
rate in Timer 1 or Timer 2, or both (one for transmit and the
other for receive).
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost, and RI is not set.

Timer 1 Generated Baud Rates
When Timer 1 is used as the baud rate generator, the baud rates
in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate
and the value of SMOD as follows:
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate =
( 2SMOD / 32 ) × (Timer 1 Overflow Rate)
The Timer 1 interrupt should be disabled in this application. The
Timer itself can be configured for either timer or counter operation, and in any of its three running modes. In the most typical
application, it is configured for timer operation in the Autoreload
mode (high nibble of TMOD = 0010 binary). In that case, the baud
rate is given by the formula:
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate =
Autoreload mode, a wider range of baud rates is possible using
Timer 2.
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate = ( 1/ 16 ) × (Timer 2 Overflow Rate)
Therefore, when Timer 2 is used to generate baud rates, the timer
increments every two clock cycles and not every core machine
cycle as before. Thus, it increments six times faster than Timer 1,
and therefore baud rates six times faster are possible. Because
Timer 2 has 16-bit autoreload capability, very low baud rates are
still possible.
Timer 2 is selected as the baud rate generator by setting the TCLK
and/or RCLK in T2CON. The baud rates for transmit and receive
can be simultaneously different. Setting RCLK and/or TCLK puts
Timer 2 into its baud rate generator mode as shown in Figure 53.
In this case, the baud rate is given by the formula:
(2SMOD / 32) × (Core Clock / ( 12 × [256 – TH 1]))
Table XXIV shows some commonly used baud rates and how they
might be calculated from a core clock frequency of 11.0592 MHz
and 12 MHz. Generally speaking, a 5% error is tolerable using
asynchronous (start/stop) communications.
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate =
(Core Clk)/( 32 × [65536 – (RCAP 2H, RCAP 2L )])
Table XXV shows some commonly used baud rates and how they
might be calculated from a core clock frequency of 11.0592 MHz

Timer 3 Generated Baud Rates
The high integer dividers in a UART block mean that high speed
baud rates are not always possible using some particular crystals.
For example, using a 12 MHz crystal, a baud rate of 115200 is
not possible. To address this problem, the ADuC831 has added
a dedicated baud rate timer (Timer 3) specifically for generating
highly accurate baud rates.
Timer 3 can be used instead of Timer 1 or Timer 2 for generating
very accurate high speed UART baud rates including 115200
and 230400. Timer 3 also allows a much wider range of baud
rates to be obtained. In fact, every desired bit rate from 12 bit/s
to 393216 bit/s can be generated to within an error of ± 0.8%.
Timer 3 also frees up the other three timers, allowing them to
be used for different applications. A block diagram of Timer 3 is
shown in Figure 54 below.

(1 + T3FD/64)
T3FD is the fractional divider ratio required to achieve the
required baud rate. We can calculate the appropriate value for
T3FD using the following formula.

Therefore, the actual baud rate is 115200 bit/s.
Two SFRs (T3CON and T3FD) are used to control Timer 3.
T3CON is the baud rate control SFR, allowing Timer 3 to be
used to set up the UART baud rate, and setting up the binary

ADuC831 HARDWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The Interrupt Enable registers are written by the user to enable
individual interrupt sources, while the Interrupt Priority registers
allow the user to select one of two priority levels for each interrupt.
An interrupt of a high priority may interrupt the service routine
of a low priority interrupt, and if two interrupts of different
priority occur at the same time, the higher level interrupt will be
serviced first. An interrupt cannot be interrupted by another
interrupt of the same priority level. If two interrupts of the same
priority level occur simultaneously, a polling sequence is observed
as shown in Table XXXI.
This section outlines some of the key hardware design considerations that must be addressed when integrating the ADuC831
into any hardware system.
Clock Oscillator
The clock source for the ADuC831 can come either from an
external source or from the internal clock oscillator. To use the
internal clock oscillator, connect a parallel resonant crystal between
XTAL1 and XTAL2, and connect a capacitor from each pin to
ground as shown below.

TIMNG CIRCUITS
Figure 56. Connecting an External Clock Source
Whether using the internal oscillator or an external clock
source, the ADuC831’s specified operational clock speed range is
400 kHz to 16 MHz. The core itself is static, and will function
all the way down to dc. But at clock speeds slower that 400 kHz
the ADC will no longer function correctly. Therefore, to ensure
specified operation, use a clock frequency of at least 400 kHz
and no more than 16 MHz. Note: the Flash/EE memory may
not program correctly at a clock frequency of less than 2 MHz.
External Memory Interface
In addition to its internal program and data memories, the ADuC831
can access up to 64 kBytes of external program memory (ROM/
PROM/etc.) and up to 16 MBytes of external data memory (SRAM).
To select from which code space (internal or external program
memory) to begin executing instructions, tie the EA (external
access) pin high or low, respectively. When EA is high (pulled up
to VDD), user program execution will start at address 0 of the
internal 62 kBytes Flash/EE code space. When EA is low (tied
to ground) user program execution will start at address 0 of the
external code space.
A second very important function of the EA pin is described
in the Single Pin Emulation Mode section.
External program memory (if used) must be connected to the
ADuC831 as illustrated in Figure 57. Note that 16 I/O lines
–60–

(Ports 0 and 2) are dedicated to bus functions during external
program memory fetches. Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed
address/data bus. It emits the low byte of the program counter
(PCL) as an address, and then goes into a float state awaiting
the arrival of the code byte from the program memory. During
the time that the low byte of the program counter is valid on P0,
the signal ALE (Address Latch Enable) clocks this byte into an
address latch. Meanwhile, Port 2 (P2) emits the high byte of
the program counter (PCH), then PSEN strobes the EPROM
and the code byte is read into the ADuC831.

Figure 57. External Program Memory Interface
Note that program memory addresses are always 16 bits wide,
even in cases where the actual amount of program memory used
is less than 64 kBytes. External program execution sacrifices two
of the 8-bit ports (P0 and P2) to the function of addressing the
program memory. While executing from external program memory,
Ports 0 and 2 can be used simultaneously for read/write access
to external data memory, but not for general-purpose I/O.
Though both external program memory and external data memory
are accessed by some of the same pins, the two are completely
independent of each other from a software point of view. For
example, the chip can read/write external data memory while
executing from external program memory.

In either implementation, Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed
address/data bus. It emits the low byte of the data pointer (DPL)
as an address, which is latched by a pulse of ALE prior to data
being placed on the bus by the ADuC831 (write operation) or
the SRAM (read operation). Port 2 (P2) provides the data
pointer page byte (DPP) to be latched by ALE, followed by the
data pointer high byte (DPH). If no latch is connected to P2,
DPP is ignored by the SRAM, and the 8051 standard of 64 kBytes
external data memory access is maintained.
Power Supplies
The ADuC831’s operational power supply voltage range is 2.7 V
to 5.25 V. Although the guaranteed data sheet specifications are
given only for power supplies within 2.7 V to 3.6 V or ± 10% of
the nominal 5 V level, the chip will function equally well at any
power supply level between 2.7 V and 5.5 V.
Note: Figures 60 and 61 refer to the PQFP package, for the CSP
package connect the extra DVDD, DGND, AVDD, and AGND in the
same manner. Note: for the CSP package, the bottom paddle
should be left unconnected.

Separate analog and digital power supply pins (AVDD and DVDD,
respectively) allow AVDD to be kept relatively free of noisy digital
signals often present on the system DVDD line. However, though
you can power AVDD and DVDD from two separate supplies if
desired, you must ensure that they remain within ± 0.3 V of one
another at all times in order to avoid damaging the chip (as per the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section). Therefore, it is recommended
that unless AVDD and DVDD are connected directly together, you
connect back-to-back Schottky diodes between them as shown
in Figure 60.
Figure 58 shows a hardware configuration for accessing up to
64 kBytes of external RAM. This interface is standard to any 8051
compatible MCU.

As an alternative to providing two separate power supplies, the
user can help keep AVDD quiet by placing a small series resistor
and/or ferrite bead between it and DVDD, and then decoupling
AVDD separately to ground. An example of this configuration is
shown in Figure 61. With this configuration other analog circuitry
(such as op amps, voltage reference, and so on) can be powered
from the AVDD supply line as well. The user will still want to
include back-to-back Schottky diodes between AVDD and DVDD
in order to protect from power-up and power-down transient conditions that could separate the two supply voltages momentarily.
A software switch allows the chip to be switched from normal
mode into idle mode, and also into full power-down mode.

In idle mode, the oscillator continues to run but is gated off to the
core only. The on-chip peripherals continue to receive the clock,
and remain functional. Port pins and DAC output pins retain their
states in this mode. The chip will recover from idle mode upon
receiving any enabled interrupt, or on receiving a hardware reset.

Figure 61. External Single-Supply Connections
Notice that in both Figure 60 and Figure 61, a large value (10 µF)
reservoir capacitor sits on DVDD and a separate 10 µF capacitor
sits on AVDD. Also, local small-value (0.1 µF) capacitors are located at
each VDD pin of the chip. As per standard design practice, be sure
to include all of these capacitors, and ensure the smaller capacitors
are close to each AVDD pin with trace lengths as short as possible.
Connect the ground terminal of each of these capacitors directly to
the underlying ground plane. Finally, it should also be noted that,
at all times, the analog and digital ground pins on the ADuC831
must be referenced to the same system ground reference point.
The currents consumed by the various sections of the ADuC831
are shown in Table XXXIII. The CORE values given represent
the current drawn by DVDD, while the rest (ADC, DAC, voltage
ref) are pulled by the AVDD pin and can be disabled in software
when not in use. The other on-chip peripherals (watchdog timer,
power supply monitor, and so on) consume negligible current
and are therefore lumped in with the Core operating current here.
Of course, the user must add any currents sourced by the parallel
and serial I/O pins, and that sourced by the DAC, in order to
determine the total current needed at the ADuC831’s supply pins.
Also, current drawn from the DVDD supply will increase by
approximately 10 mA during Flash/EE erase and program cycles.

In full power-down mode, the on-chip oscillator stops and all
on-chip peripherals are shut down. Port pins retain their logic
levels in this mode, but the DAC output goes to a high-impedance
state (three-state). During full power-down mode, the ADuC831
consumes a total of approximately 15 µA. There are five ways of
terminating power-down mode:
Asserting the RESET Pin (Pin 15)
Returns to normal mode. All registers are set to their default
state and program execution starts at the reset vector once the
Reset pin is de-asserted.
Cycling Power
All registers are set to their default state and program execution
starts at the reset vector approximately 128 ms later.
Time Interval Counter (TIC) Interrupt
Power Consumption
VDD = 5 V
Since operating DVDD current is primarily a function of clock
speed, the expressions for CORE supply current in Table XXXIII
are given as functions of MCLK, the oscillator frequency. Plug in
a value for MCLK in hertz to determine the current consumed by
the core at that oscillator frequency. Since the ADC and DACs
can be enabled or disabled in software, add only the currents
from the peripherals you expect to use. And again, do not forget
to include current sourced by I/O pins, serial port pins, DAC
outputs, and so forth, plus the additional current drawn during
Flash/EE erase and program cycles.
VDD = 3 V
Power-down mode is terminated and the CPU services the TIC
interrupt. The RETI at the end of the TIC ISR will return the
core to the instruction after that which enabled power-down.
I 2C or SPI Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated and the CPU services the I2C/SPI
interrupt. The RETI at the end of the ISR will return the core to
the instruction after that which enabled power-down. It should be
noted that the I2C/SPI power down interrupt enable bit (SERIPD)
in the PCON SFR must first be set to allow this mode of operation.
INT0 Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated and the CPU services the INT0
interrupt. The RETI at the end of the ISR will return the core
to the instruction after that which enabled power-down. It should
be noted that the INT0 power-down interrupt enable bit (INT0PD)
in the PCON SFR must first be set to allow this mode of operation.

An internal POR (Power-On Reset) is implemented on the
ADuC831. For DVDD below 2.45 V, the internal POR will hold
the ADuC831 in reset. As DVDD rises above 2.45 V an internal
timer will timeout for approximately 128 ms before the part is
released from reset with a 16 MHz crystal. With other crystal
values the timeout will increase. The user must ensure that the
power supply has reached a stable 2.7 V minimum level by this
time. Likewise on power-down, the internal POR will hold the
ADuC831 in reset until the power supply has dropped below 1 V.
Figure 62 illustrates the operation of the internal POR in detail.

Grounding and Board Layout Recommendations
As with all high resolution data converters, special attention must
be paid to grounding and PC board layout of ADuC831-based
designs in order to achieve optimum performance from the
ADC and DACs.

AGND
Although the ADuC831 has separate pins for analog and digital
ground (AGND and DGND), the user must not tie these to two
separate ground planes unless the two ground planes are connected together very close to the ADuC831, as illustrated in the
simplified example of Figure 63a. In systems where digital and
analog ground planes are connected together somewhere else
(at the system’s power supply for example), they cannot be connected again near the ADuC831 since a ground loop would result.
In these cases, tie the ADuC831’s AGND and DGND pins all
to the analog ground plane, as illustrated in Figure 63b. In systems
with only one ground plane, ensure that the digital and analog
components are physically separated onto separate halves of the
board such that digital return currents do not flow near analog
circuitry and vice versa. The ADuC831 can then be placed between
the digital and analog sections, as illustrated in Figure 63c.
In all of these scenarios, and in more complicated real-life applications, keep in mind the flow of current from the supplies and back
to ground. Make sure the return paths for all currents are as
close as possible to the paths the currents took to reach their destinations. For example, do not power components on the analog
side of Figure 63b with DVDD since that would force return currents
from DVDD to flow through AGND. Also, try to avoid digital
currents flowing under analog circuitry, which could happen if
the user placed a noisy digital chip on the left half of the board in
Figure 63c. Whenever possible, avoid large discontinuities in the
ground plane(s) (such as are formed by a long trace on the same
layer), since they force return signals to travel a longer path. And
of course, make all connections to the ground plane directly,
with little or no trace separating the pin from its via to ground.
Note that the bottom paddle of the CSP package should not
be connected to ground. It should be left unconnected.
If the user plans to connect fast logic signals (rise/fall time < 5 ns) to
any of the ADuC831’s digital inputs, add a series resistor to each
relevant line to keep rise and fall times longer than 5 ns at the
ADuC831 input pins. A value of 100 Ω or 200 Ω is usually sufficient to prevent high speed signals from coupling capacitively into
the ADuC831 and affecting the accuracy of ADC conversions.

To facilitate in-circuit programming, plus in-circuit debug and

connection points in their hardware that will allow easy access
to download, debug, and emulation modes.
In-Circuit Serial Download Access
Nearly all ADuC831 designs will want to take advantage of the
in-circuit reprogrammability of the chip. This is accomplished by
a connection to the ADuC831’s UART, which requires an external RS-232 chip for level translation if downloading code from
a PC. Basic configuration of an RS-232 connection is illustrated
in Figure 66 with a simple ADM202-based circuit. If users would
rather not design an RS-232 chip onto a board, refer to the
application note “uC006–A 4-Wire UART-to-PC Interface”* for
a simple (and zero-cost-per-board) method of gaining in-circuit
serial download access to the ADuC831.
In addition to the basic UART connections, users will also need
a way to trigger the chip into download mode. This is accomplished via a 1 kΩ pull-down resistor that can be jumpered onto
the PSEN pin, as shown in Figure 64. To get the ADuC831 into
download mode, simply connect this jumper and power-cycle the
device (or manually reset the device, if a manual reset button is
available) and it will be ready to receive a new program serially.
With the jumper removed, the device will come up in normal
mode (and run the program) whenever power is cycled or RESET
is toggled.

Figure 64. Example ADuC831 System (PQFP Package)
Note that PSEN is normally an output (as described in the External
Memory Interface section) and is sampled as an input only on the
falling edge of RESET (i.e., at power-up or upon an external
manual reset). Note also that if any external circuitry unintentionally pulls PSEN low during power-up or reset events, it could
cause the chip to enter download mode and therefore fail to begin
user code execution as it should. To prevent this, ensure that no
external signals are capable of pulling the PSEN pin low, except
for the external PSEN jumper itself.
Embedded Serial Port Debugger
From a hardware perspective, entry into serial port debug mode
is identical to the serial download entry sequence described
above. In fact, both serial download and serial port debug modes
can be thought of as essentially one mode of operation used in
two different ways.
Note that the serial port debugger is fully contained on the ADuC831
device, (unlike ROM monitor type debuggers) and therefore no
external memory is needed to enable in-system debug sessions.
Single-Pin Emulation Mode
Also built into the ADuC831 is a dedicated controller for
single-pin in-circuit emulation (ICE) using standard production
ADuC831 devices. In this mode, emulation access is gained by
connection to a single pin, the EA pin. Normally, this pin is hardwired either high or low to select execution from internal or
external program memory space, as described earlier. To enable
single-pin emulation mode, however, users will need to pull the
EA pin high through a 1 kΩ resistor as shown in Figure 64. The
emulator will then connect to the 2-pin header also shown in
Figure 64. To be compatible with the standard connector that
comes with the single-pin emulator available from Accutron Limited (www.accutron.com), use a 2-pin 0.1-inch pitch “Friction
Lock” header from Molex (www.molex.com) such as their
part number 22-27-2021. Be sure to observe the polarity of this
header. As represented in Figure 64, when the Friction Lock tab
is at the right, the ground pin should be the lower of the two
pins (when viewed from the top).
Typical System Configuration
A typical ADuC831 configuration is shown in Figure 64. It summarizes some of the hardware considerations discussed in the
previous paragraphs.

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
Download—In-Circuit Serial Downloader
There are two models of development tools available for the
ADuC831, namely:
QuickStart—Entry-level development system
QuickStart Plus—Comprehensive development system
These systems are described briefly below.
The Serial Downloader is a Windows application that allows
the user to serially download an assembled program (Intel Hex
format file) to the on-chip program FLASH memory via the
serial COM1 port on a standard PC. An Application Note
(uC004) detailing this serial download protocol is available from
www.analog.com/microconverter.
