Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSSC1956 IC is a dual-channel analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) with an embedded microcontroller
for battery sensing/management in automotive,
industrial, and medical systems.

One of the two input channels measures the battery
current IBAT via the voltage drop at the external
shunt resistor. The second input channel measures
the battery voltage VBAT and the temperature. An
integrated flash memory is provided for customerspecific software; e.g., dedicated algorithms for
calculating the battery state.

During Sleep Mode (e.g., engine is off), the system
makes periodic measurements to monitor the discharge of the battery. Measurement cycles are
controlled by the software and include various wakeup conditions. The ZSSC1956 is optimized for ultralow power consumption and draws only 100µA or
less in Low-Power Mode.

Circuit Description
2.1.
Overview
The ZSSC1956 intelligent battery sensor IC (IBS) consists of two silicon dies in one package. The dies are
assembled as stacked dies in a PQFN32 5x5 mm package as shown in Figure 2.1. See Figure 2.2 for the
ZSSC1956 block diagram. The System Basis Chip (SBC) contains the high voltage circuits, analog input stage
including peripheral blocks, ΣΔ-ADCs (SD_ADC), digital filtering, and LIN transceiver. The microcontroller chip
(MCU) contains the microcontroller core, memories, and some peripheral blocks. Communication between the
MCU and the SBC is handled by an SPI interface. Internal nodes connecting the MCU and the SBC (i.e., TXD,
RXD, IRQN, CSN, SCLK, MOSI, MISO, MCU_CLK, MCU_RSTN, and RAM_PROTN) are controlled by firmware.
Users can access the internal nodes via the LIN interface and/or external JTAG pins (i.e., TDO, TDI, TRSTN,
TMS, and TCK).
The functions of the SBC are controlled by register settings. The circuit starts after power-on with default register
and calibration settings that can be overwritten by the user software.
Figure 2.1 IBS Stacked Die Assembly
Analog Blocks
SBC Digital
One input channel measures IBAT via the voltage drop at the external shunt resistor. The second channel
measures VBAT and the temperature. By simultaneous measurement of VBAT and IBAT, it is possible to determine
dynamically RBAT, which is correlated with the state of health (SOH) of the battery. By integrating IBAT, it is possible
to determine the state of charge (SOC) of the battery. These are the fundamental parameters for an intelligent
battery sensor. The software for determining these parameters is not part of the ZSSC1956. A flash memory is
provided for the customer-specific software.
The SBC and MCU have different power states designed to minimize power consumption (see section 2.4).
During the Standby and the Sleep Modes (e.g., engine is off), the system periodically measures the values to
monitor the discharge of the battery. Measurement cycles are controlled by the software and are dependent on
the detected events. The ZSSC1956 is designed for low-power consumption during Sleep Mode in the range of
less than 100µA.

System Power States
Six different power states are implemented in the ZSSC1956, which are combinations of the different power
states of the SBC (see section 3.7) and of the MCU (see “Power Modes” in section 4.3). As discussed in the
following sections, other combinations are not allowed.

MCU-SLP

LP
ULP

2.4.1.
MCU-ON Power State
The MCU-ON power state is entered after power-on reset or after wake-up. In this power state, the MCU is in its
Normal Mode and the SBC is in its Full-Power (FP) state (see section 3.7). The SBC powers the MCU and
®
generates the 20MHz clock for the MCU, which is distributed inside the MCU to the ARM core as well as to the
peripherals. The base clock for the ADCs in the SBC is 4MHz, which is generated from the 20MHz from the highprecision oscillator.
®
In this state, the ARM core is running and executing the software from flash or RAM. The software can trigger
the system management unit (SMU) (see section 4.3) in the MCU as well as the power management unit (PMU)
(see section 3.7) in the SBC to enter any other power state.
Of the six power states, the MCU-ON state consumes the most power.

27 of 216
ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
2.4.2.
MCU-SLP Power State
In MCU-SLP power state, the SBC remains in its FP state, which means that it still powers the MCU and
®
generates the 20MHz clock for the MCU. Inside the MCU, all peripherals are clocked, but the clock for the ARM
®
core is stopped. This power state is intended for scenarios where the ARM core does not need to execute code
but waits for MCU internal peripherals to finish their programmed tasks; e.g., sending a byte via the LIN interface.
The system can wake up from this power state by an enabled interrupt as well as by an MCU reset generated by
the SBC.
Note: For any SBC interrupt source that will wake up the system, the corresponding interrupt source must be
®
enabled in the SBC, and the ARM interrupt line 1 (SBC interrupt) must be enabled in the MCU’s interrupt
controller (NVIC) (see section 4.1).
When the system will enter the MCU-SLP power state from the MCU-ON power state, the software must first
®
enable the required interrupt sources in the SBC and the MCU and it must set the SLEEPDEEP bit in the ARM
internal system control register (SCR) to 0 (see the ZMDI ARM® Cortex™ M0 User Guide). Then the software
must execute the wait-for-interrupt (WFI) instruction to enter the MCU-SLP power state. When any of the enabled
interrupts becomes active, the system returns to the MCU-ON power state and continues the software execution.
Note: Do not send a power-down command to the SBC in advance.
2.4.3.
MCU-DEEP Power State
In MCU-DEEP power state, the SBC remains in its FP state, which means that it still powers the MCU and
generates the 20MHz clock for the MCU. Inside the MCU, the incoming clock is gated, which means that no logic
in the MCU is clocked. This power state is intended for conditions where the SBC will perform high-precision
®
measurements using the 4MHz clock as the base clock for the ADCs, but the ARM core will not run its software
and no MCU peripheral is needed. The system can wake up from this power state by an enabled interrupt of the
SBC as well as by an MCU reset generated by the SBC.
Note: For any SBC interrupt source that will wake up the system, the corresponding interrupt source must be
®
enabled in the SBC, and the ARM interrupt line 1 (SBC interrupt) must be enabled in the NVIC.
When the system will enter the MCU-DEEP power state from the MCU-ON power state, the software must first
®
enable the required interrupt sources in the SBC and the MCU and it must set the SLEEPDEEP bit in the ARM
internal SCR register to 1. Then the software must execute the WFI instruction to enter the MCU-DEEP power
state. When any of the enabled interrupts becomes active, the system returns to the MCU-ON power state and
continues the software execution.
Note: Do not send a power-down command to the SBC in advance.
2.4.4.
LP Power State
The LP power state is the first state where the SBC leaves its FP state. The MCU first enters its DEEPSLEEP
state, but then the SBC stops the MCU clock on the MCU side and disables the high-precision oscillator. For its
ADC operations, the SBC uses the 125kHz clock from the low-power oscillator as the base clock. This power
state is intended for conditions where the SBC will only perform low-power measurements without any operation
by the MCU. The system can wake up from this power state by an enabled interrupt of the SBC as well as by an
MCU reset generated by the SBC.

ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
Note: For any SBC interrupt source that will wake up the system, the corresponding interrupt source must be
®
enabled in the SBC and the ARM interrupt line 1 (SBC interrupt) must be enabled in the NVIC. The latter is
necessary as the SBC rejects the power-down command when an enabled interrupt source in the SBC is already
active as well as for a final wake up.
When the system will enter the LP power state from the MCU-ON power state, the software must first enable the
®
required interrupt sources in the SBC and MCU and it must set the SLEEPDEEP bit in the ARM internal register
SCR to 1. After successful transmission of the corresponding power-down command to the SBC without releasing
the CSN line afterward, the software must then execute the WFI instruction to enter the LP power state. The CSN
line is released by hardware on entering the MCU internal DEEPSLEEP state. The rising edge on the CSN line
triggers the SBC to enter its LP state. When any of the enabled interrupts becomes active, the system returns to
the MCU-ON power state and continues the software execution.
Note: Do not release the CSN line by software at the end of sending a power-down command to avoid the MCU
clock being stopped by SBC at an intermediate state.
2.4.5.
ULP Power State
The ULP power state is similar to the LP state except that the SBC also disables the power for the MCU. The
MCU first enters its DEEPSLEEP state but then the SBC stops the MCU clock on the MCU side and disables the
high-precision oscillator and the voltage regulators for the MCU. For its ADC operations, the SBC uses the 125
kHz clock from the low-power oscillator as its base clock. This power state is intended for conditions where the
SBC will only perform low-power measurements without any operation on the MCU. The system can wake up
from this power state by any enabled interrupt of the SBC. The MCU is reset upon wake up by the SBC to
guarantee correct start up. This means that the software starts again from address 00HEX after wake up, not at the
position where it was stopped.
Note: For any SBC interrupt source that will wake up the system, the corresponding interrupt source must be
®
enabled in the SBC and the ARM interrupt line 1 (SBC interrupt) must be enabled in the NVIC. The latter is
necessary as the SBC rejects the power-down command when an enabled interrupt source in the SBC is already
active.
When the system will enter the ULP power state from the MCU-ON power state, the software must first enable the
®
required interrupt sources in the SBC and MCU and it must set the SLEEPDEEP bit in the ARM internal register
SCR to 1. After successful transmission of the corresponding power-down command to the SBC without releasing
the CSN line afterward, the software must then execute the WFI instruction to enter the ULP power state. The
CSN line is released by hardware on entering the MCU internal DEEPSLEEP state. The rising edge on the CSN
line triggers the SBC to enter its ULP state. When any of the enabled interrupts becomes active, the system
returns to MCU-ON power state and restarts the software execution.
Note: Do not release the CSN line by software at the end of sending a power-down command to avoid the MCU
clock being stopped by SBC at an intermediate state.

OFF Power State
The OFF state is the state with the lowest power consumption where no measurements can be performed as all
oscillators are stopped. The MCU first enters its DEEPSLEEP state but then the SBC stops the MCU clock on the
MCU side and disables both oscillators and the voltage regulators for the MCU. This power state is intended for
conditions where two measurements will be performed and the system will consume as little power as possible.
The system can wake up from this power state only by receiving a wakeup frame over LIN. The MCU is reset
upon wake up by the SBC to guarantee correct start up. This means that the software starts again from address
00HEX after wake up, not at the position where it was stopped.
Note: For any SBC interrupt source that will wake up the system, the corresponding interrupt source (LIN wakeup
®
interrupt) must be enabled in the SBC and the ARM interrupt line 1 (SBC interrupt) must be enabled in the NVIC.
The latter is necessary as the SBC rejects the power-down command when an enabled interrupt source in the
SBC is already active.
When the system will enter the OFF power state from the MCU-ON power state, the software must first enable
®
the required interrupt sources in the SBC and MCU and it must set the SLEEPDEEP bit in the ARM internal
register SCR to 1. After successful transmission of the corresponding power-down command to the SBC without
releasing the CSN line afterward, the software must then execute the WFI instruction to enter the OFF power
state. The CSN line is released by hardware on entering the MCU internal DEEPSLEEP state. The rising edge on
the CSN line triggers the SBC to enter its ULP state. When any of the enabled interrupts becomes active, the
system returns to the MCU-ON power state and restarts the software execution.
Note: Do not release the CSN line by software at the end of sending a power-down command to avoid the MCU
clock being stopped by the SBC at an intermediate state.

Functional Block Descriptions SBC
3.1.
SPI Communication between the MCU and SBC
The SBC is fully controllable by the MCU via an integrated four-wire slave SPI interface. It only operates in a
single mode when both the clock polarity and the clock phase are 1 (the clock is high when inactive, data is sent
on the falling SPI clock edge, and data is sampled on the rising SPI clock edge). The accessible registers of the
SBC can be read and/or written via the SPI, and the one-time programmable (OTP) memory in the SBC can be
read via the SPI. Internal status information of the SBC is also returned during the address and length bytes of the
implemented SPI protocol. Read and write burst accesses of up to 128 bytes are supported.
The SPI chip-select line CSN must be low during any transfer until the complete transfer has finished. This is
needed as the CSN input is not only used as an enable signal but also as an asynchronous reset for part of the
SPI front-end. The reason for this is to be able to set the SPI back to a defined state via the MCU as well as to
extract status information without needing to access any register. The CSN input can be kept low between two
transfers. The CSN input must only be driven high for execution of the “go-to-power-down” command after the
required register settings have been completed.
Note: A high level on the CSN input resets the internal SPI state machine.
3.1.1.
SPI Protocol
The SPI slave module only operates with a clock polarity setting of 1 (SCLK is high when no transfer is active; see
CPOL in Table 4.49) and with a clock phase setting of 1 (data is sent on the falling edge; data is sampled on the
rising edge; see CPHA in Table 4.49). For any access, the CSN input must be low. At the end of any read access,
the CSN input can be kept low. For write accesses that change the power mode, the CSN input must be driven
high at the end of the write access; it can be kept low for write accesses to other registers. During an SPI access,
the CSN input must be kept low.
Important: Driving the CSN input high during a read transfer can cause a loss of data.
In each SPI transfer, 1 to 128 bytes can be read or written in one burst access. All bytes are sent and received
with the MSB first. As shown in Figure 3.1, each SPI transfer starts with two bytes sent by the master while the
slave sends back status information in parallel. The first of the two bytes sent by the master is the address byte
containing the first address to be accessed. When multiple bytes are read or written, the received SPI address is
internally incremented for each data byte. The second byte starts with the access type of the transfer (1 = write;
0 = read) followed by the 7-bit length field indicating the number of data bytes that will be read or written. A
special case is the length value of 0, which is interpreted by the slave SPI as 128 bytes.
The status information sent back by the slave during the address and length bytes starts with a fixed value of
AHEX. This can be used to detect whether the connection is still present. The next bits sent are the slave status
word (SSW), which is 12 bits of actual status information.
The 12 SSW bits have the following definitions:
SSW[11]:
Value of the low-voltage flag
SSW[10:8]:
Reset status
SSW[7]:
Watchdog active flag
SSW[6]:
Low-power oscillator trimming circuit active
SSW[5]:

Note: After the MCU has been reset, the user’s software can read the low-voltage flag and the reset status by a
single-byte transfer (important: send address byte only) to shorten the initialization phase (e.g., when a reset
was caused by a wake-up event) without needing to read or write further bytes including the length byte.
After the address byte and length byte are sent by the master, either the master (write transfer) or the slave (read
transfer) is transmitting data. The slave ignores all incoming bits while it is sending the requested number of data
bytes (read), and the data bytes returned during a write transfer have no meaning. Figure 3.1 shows a read and a
write burst access to the SBC.

SBC Register Map
Table 3.1 defines the registers in the SBC. In the “Access” column, the following abbreviations indicate the
read/write status of the registers: RC = read-clear; RO = read-only; RW = readable and writable; WO = write-only;
W1C = write-one-to-clear. For more details, see the subsequent sections for the individual registers.
Important: There is a distinction between “unused” and “reserved” addresses. No problem occurs when writing to
unused addresses, but writing 00HEX to unused addresses for future expansions is recommended. Reserved
addresses must always be written with the given default value.

SBC Clock and Reset Logic
Clocks
The SBC contains two different oscillators, a low-power oscillator (LP oscillator) providing a clock of 125kHz with
an accuracy of +/- 3% and a high-precision oscillator (HP oscillator) providing a clock of 20MHz with an accuracy
of +/- 1%. The low-power oscillator is always active except in the OFF state while the high-precision oscillator is
only active in the SBC’s full-power (FP) state. The clock from the high-precision oscillator is routed to the MCU via
the internal MCU_CLK node (see Figure 2.3).
Three different internal clocks are generated from the two clocks from the oscillators for the digital core of the
SBC:



Low-power clock (lpClk): This clock is directly driven by the low-power oscillator and has a frequency of
125kHz. It is used for the watchdog timer, the sleep timer, and the power management unit.
Divided clock (divClk): This clock is derived from the high-precision oscillator and has a frequency of
4MHz. It is used for the register file, the low-power oscillator trimming circuit, the LIN support logic, and
the OTP controller.
Multiplexed clock (muxClk): This clock is identically to the divClk in the full-power (FP) state and
identically to lpClk in the LP and ULP states. It is used for the ADC controller unit and the interrupt
controller.

Both oscillators are trimmed during the production test, and the trim values are stored in the OTP memory
(IREF_OSC_0, IREF_OSC_1, IREF_OSC_2, IREF_OSC_3, IREF_LP_OSC; see Table 3.67). As it is
important for correct operation of the MCU that the clock from the high-precision oscillator has the correct
frequency, the two trimming values for the high-precision oscillator are protected by redundancy in the OTP.
Software can check the validity of the trim values and the redundancy bits by reading the OTP raw data directly
from the OTP via the SPI.
Note: The trimming values for both oscillators should also be stored in the MCU so that software is able to check
the validity of the trimming values. On detection of errors in the OTP, software can write the correct values via
SPI.
3.3.2.
Trimming the Low-Power Oscillator
As the clock from the low-power oscillator is less accurate than the clock from the high-precision oscillator, a
trimming circuit is implemented that trims the low-power oscillator using the divided clock divClk. There are two
options for trimming the low-power oscillator. One option is to allow the hardware to update the trim value for the
low-power oscillator automatically so that no user interference is necessary. For this, the user only needs to set
the lpOscTrimEna and lpOscTrimUpd bits to 1 as well as setting the lpOscTrimCfg field as needed (see
Table 3.4). The latter configuration value defines how many low-power clock periods are used for frequency
calculation. While the trimming circuit is faster when fewer periods are used, the result of the frequency
calculation is more accurate when more periods are used. In the first part of the trimming loop, the circuit
determines the frequency of the low-power oscillator. When the measured frequency is too low, the hardware
increments the trim value by 1; if it is too high, the hardware decrements the trim value by 1. Otherwise, the trim
value remains unchanged. After changing the trim value, the hardware measures the (new) frequency. This
algorithm is only stopped when software clears the lpOscTrimEna bit (trimming logic stops after a final update)
or when any low-power state is entered.
The second option is to use the trim circuit only to measure the frequency but to update the trim value by
software. This can be preferable when the target frequency is not equal to 125 kHz. For this, the user only needs
to set the lpOscTrimEna bit to 1 and set the lpOscTrimUpd bit to 0 as well as setting the lpOscTrimCfg field
as needed. Next, the user must clear the lpOscTrimEna bit without changing the other values in the register and
must wait until the hardware has finished before calculating the frequency (wait until SSW[6] is 0). By reading the
lpOscTrimCnt register, the user can calculate the actual frequency of the low-power oscillator using the
following formula:
fLP 
fHP
 2lpOscTrimCfg  2
lpOscTrimcnt  1
fHP  4 MHz
(1)
After determining the actual frequency, the user can change the trim value for the low-power oscillator
lpOscTrimVal as required (see Table 3.3) and re-enable the trimming circuit to check the new frequency.
Note: The trimming circuit can be kept active when going to any low-power state. The PMU interrupts the
trimming circuit on transition to the low-power state and restarts it after wakeup. This is needed as divClk is
stopped in any low-power state.

Resets
The main reset source is the integrated power-on-reset cell, which resets the complete digital core of the SBC
when VDDE drops below 3.0V (typical). There are three other reset sources that reset the complete digital core of
the SBC, except the watchdog timer and its configuration registers.
These additional reset sources are



Watchdog reset: This reset occurs when the active watchdog timer expires without being handled by
software.
Software reset: This reset can be generated by the user by writing the value A9HEX to register swRst.
PMU error reset: This reset occurs if the power management unit goes into an invalid state (e.g., due to
cosmic radiation).
If any of these four resets occurs, the power-on procedure is executed, which powers up the required analog
blocks and starts the download procedure for the OTP. This download procedure transfers the OTP contents into
the appropriate registers if the OTP content is valid. The MCU_RSTN pin is also driven low, resetting the
connected MCU. The MCU reset is released after the power-up procedure has finished.
The MCU is also reset when the system goes to OFF or ULP state because the power supply of the MCU is
disabled in these power-down states. In this case, the MCU reset is released after a wake-up event has occurred
and the MCU power supplies have stabilized.
Another possible reset source for the MCU is VddpReset, which is also generated by the power-on-reset cell
when VDDE drops below 4.05V (typical). In this case, it cannot be guaranteed that VDDP, which is needed for
correct operation of the MCU, is still valid if VDDP is trimmed to a high level of 3.3V.
The digital core of the SBC observes the input from the power-on-reset cell and generates the MCU reset only
when all of the following conditions are true:



VDDP is trimmed to 3.3V (bit vddpTrim of register pwrTrim set to 1).
The ZSSC1956 system is in the full-power (FP) state, and the MCU is clocked.
VDDP reset is not disabled (bit disVddpRst of register funcDis is set to 0; see Table 3.8).
3.3.4.1. The Reset Status
The MCU can easily check the reason for being reset by a single byte transfer to the SBC (SPI address byte only)
and evaluating SSW[10:8] which contains the reason for the last reset (reset status). This value can be
evaluated by the software for different actions after reset:
Reset status 0:
Reset status 1:
Reset status 2:
Reset status 3:
Reset status 4:
Reset status 5:
Data Sheet
December 9, 2014
In this case, the reset was generated by the power-on-reset cell. Both SBC and MCU are
reset completely.
The watchdog timer was not handled and has expired (see section 3.4). The MCU and all
SBC logic are reset, except the watchdog timer and its configuration registers.
Only the MCU is reset due to a wakeup from the ULP or OFF state.
The software has forced a reset. The MCU and all SBC logic are reset, except the watchdog
timer and its configuration registers.
VDDP has dropped below 3.3V, and MCU was active. Only the MCU is reset.
The PMU is in an illegal state. The MCU and all SBC logic are reset, except the watchdog
timer and its configuration registers.

3.3.4.2. The Low-Voltage Flag
The low-voltage flag is part of the analog block. After power-on-reset, it has a low level. It can be set by software
by writing the value 1 to bit lvfSet in register cmdExe. It is cleared by the power-on-reset cell when VDDE drops
below 1.9V (typical). When VDDE drops below this threshold, it cannot be guaranteed that VDDL, which is used
as the power supply for the RAM in the MCU, was high enough to guarantee the validity of the RAM contents.
The low-voltage flag is mapped to SSW[11] where software can read its value.

SBC Watchdog Timer
The SBC contains a configurable watchdog timer (down counter) for the ZSSC1956 when it is running using the
clock from the low-power oscillator. It is used to recover from an invalid software or hardware state. To avoid a
reset of the system, the watchdog must be periodically serviced. The only part of the system that will not be reset
by the watchdog reset is the watchdog itself and its configuration registers.

By default, the watchdog timer is active starting with a counter value of FFFF HEX and a prescaler of 125. This is
done to guarantee that the boot code of the MCU has enough time to finish. During the initialization phase of the
system, software can disable, reconfigure, and restart the watchdog. Disabling the watchdog before configuration
is required as all write accesses to the register wdogPresetVal and the register wdogCfg except the bits
wdogLock and wdogEna (see Table 3.12) are blocked when the watchdog is active. As it takes multiple lowpower clock cycles until the enable signal is evaluated in the watchdog clock domain, the SSW[7] bit (wdActive)
must be checked to determine if write accesses are possible. To avoid any malfunction during reconfiguration, the
prescaler bit fields are set to 0 and the counter register is set to FFFFHEX at disable.
When the watchdog is disabled, configuration is possible. The register wdogPresetVal contains the value that
will be copied into the down counter in the first enable cycle or when the watchdog timer is serviced via the
wdogClr bit in register cmdExe. The field wdogPrescaleCfg in register wdogCfg configures the prescaler. The
resolution and maximum timeout for the watchdog depend on the configuration as shown in Table 3.9.

As the maximum timeout value might still be too small for some applications, the user can use the wdogPmDis bit
in register wdogCfg to select whether the watchdog timer will be halted during any power-down state (bit set to 1)
or not (bit set to 0).
It is also possible to use the watchdog timer as a wake-up source. When the wdogIrqFuncEna bit in register
wdogCfg is set to 1 and the down counter reaches 0, an interrupt is generated instead of a reset which would
wake up the system and the down counter reloads the preset value and continues its operation. When the
watchdog timer expires for a second time without service, the watchdog reset is generated. If the
wdogIrqFuncEna bit is set to 0, the reset is already generated when the timer expires for the first time.
After reconfiguration, the watchdog timer is re-enabled. To avoid further (accidental) changes to the watchdog
timer configuration registers, the user can set the wdogLock bit in register wdogCfg to 1. If this bit is set, all write
accesses are blocked. The wdogLock bit can only be cleared by a power-on reset.
When a debugger is connected to the system (SBC input DBGEN is 1), the watchdog timer is immediately halted
as handling of the watchdog via the debugger might be too slow; however, the watchdog timer can still be
serviced via the wdogClr bit in register cmdExe (see Table 3.7).
To perform the required periodic servicing of the watchdog timer, the user must write the value 1 to the wdogClr
bit in register cmdExe. To avoid any malfunction if the watchdog is serviced too often, any consecutive write
accesses to the wdogClr bit are blocked until the first clear process has finished.
Important: The preset value programmed to the wdogPresetVal register must never be 00HEX as this would
immediately cause a reset forcing the system into a dead lock. It is strongly recommended that software checks
the programmed reload value before re-enabling the watchdog.
Important: The preset value must not be too small. The user must take into account critical system timings
including power-up times and flash programming/erasing times.
Note: The reconfiguration of the registers wdogPresetVal and wdogCfg, including bits wdogEna and
wdogLock, can be performed in a single SPI burst write access.

SBC Sleep Timer
The integrated sleep timer (up counter) is only active when the system is in any low-power state and it is running
with the 125 kHz clock from the low-power oscillator.
The sleep timer consists of three blocks as illustrated in Figure 3.3:



A fixed prescaler that divides the incoming 125 kHz clock from the low-power oscillator by 12500 to get a
timer resolution of 10 Hz.
A 16-bit counter that generates an interrupt (signal: stIrq) when the timer reaches the programmed
compare value sleepTCmp (see Table 3.14).
A 12-bit counter that triggers the PMU (with signal stAdcTrigger) when the timer reaches the programmed
compare value sleepTAdcCmp to power-up the ADC blocks and to perform measurements if one of the
discrete measurement scenarios are configured (see Table 3.13).

When the system goes from full-power to any power-down state on request by the user, the prescaler and both
counters are cleared and the 16-bit counter is enabled. Every 100 ms, triggered by the prescaler, the 16-bit
counter is incremented until it reaches the programmed compare value sleepTCmp. When the compare value is
reached, the timer stops and the interrupt controller is triggered to set the corresponding interrupt status flag (see
section 3.6.1.1). The sleep timer is also stopped when the system returns to the full-power (FP) state. The user
can determine the sleep duration by reading the register sleepTCurCnt, which returns the value of the 16-bit
counter.
Note: Although the timer stops and the interrupt status bit is set when the compare value is reached, the system
remains in the power-down state if the corresponding interrupt (bit 1 in irqEna register; see Table 3.17) is not
enabled to drive the interrupt line IRQN.
Equation (2) can be used to determine the correct sleep time to be programmed. The sleep timer expires after
100ms for a compare value of 0, after 200ms for a compare value of 1, and so on.
SleepTime 100ms  sleepTCmp 1
(2)
The 12-bit counter that triggers the PMU is only enabled during any power-down state when any discrete
measurement scenario is configured. In this case, the counter is incremented each 100ms triggered by the
prescaler. When the counter reaches the programmed compare value sleepTAdcCmp, a strobe for the PMU is
generated and the 12-bit counter is reset to 0. Then it continues its operation. This counter is only stopped when
the system returns to the full-power state, but it continues to operate when the sleep timer has expired if it was not
enabled to wake up the system.
Equation (3) can be used to determine the correct ADC trigger time to be programmed. The ADC trigger timer
expires after 100ms for a compare value of 0, after 200ms for a compare value of 1, and so on.
In general,
ADC TriggerTime 100ms  sleepTAdcCmp  1
(3)
Important: When both the sleep timer for wake-up and the ADC trigger timer for discrete measurements are
used, special care must be taken when programming the compare values because when the sleep timer expires,
the wake-up condition has higher priority over an active ADC measurement or an ADC trigger strobe.

irqStat register (Table 3.16) and a dedicated interrupt enable bit in the irqEna register (see Table 3.17). The
interrupt controller captures each interrupt source in the interrupt status register independently of the interrupt
enable settings. The interrupt controller combines all enabled interrupt status bits into the low-active interrupt
signal that is used to drive the interrupt pin IRQN of the SBC and to wake up the system by the PMU. This means
that interrupt status bits, which can always be set even when disabled, can only generate a wake-up event and
drive the interrupt pin IRQN when they are enabled.

The user can determine the interrupt reason by reading the interrupt status register. The interrupt status register
is cleared on each read access. Therefore software must ensure that it stores the read interrupt status value if
needed to avoid loss of information.
3.6.1.1. Interrupt Sources
The bit mapping is the same for the interrupt enable register irqEna and the interrupt status register irqStat:
 Bit 0: Watchdog Timer Interrupt; status is set by the watchdog timer when the interrupt functionality
of the watchdog timer is enabled and the watchdog timer expires for the first time.
 Bit 1: Sleep Timer Interrupt; status is set by the sleep timer when the sleep timer reaches the
programmed compare value.
 Bit 2: LIN TXD Timeout Interrupt; status is set by the LIN support logic when the TXD input from the
MCU is low for more than 10.24 ms.
 Bit 3: LIN Short Interrupt; status is set by the LIN support logic when a short is detected in the LIN
PHY.
 Bit 4: LIN Wakeup Interrupt; status is set by the LIN support logic when a wake-up frame is detected
on the LIN bus.
 Bit 5: Current Conversion Result Ready Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when a single
current measurement (register adcCrcl == 0) or multiple current measurements defined by
adcCrcl (register adcCrcl != 0) have been completed and the result is available.
 Bit 6: Voltage Conversion Result Ready Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when a single
voltage measurement (register adcVrcl == 0) or multiple voltage measurements defined by the
adcVrcl (register adcVrcl != 0) have been completed and the result is available.
 Bit 7: Temperature Conversion Result Ready Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when a single
temperature measurement has been completed and the result is available.
 Bit 8: Current Comparator Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when the Current Threshold
Counter Mode is enabled (register adcAcmp[2:1] != 0) and the absolute value of multiple
(defined by register adcCtcl) current measurements exceeds the programmed current
threshold (register adcCrth).
Note: If the Current Threshold Counter Mode is enabled but adcCtcl is 0, this bit is always set
independently of the threshold.
 Bit 9: Voltage Comparator Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit if the VThWuEna bit (adcAcmp[8])
is set to 1 and a single measured voltage or the accumulated voltage measurements (depends
on configured mode) drop below the programmed (register adcVTh) voltage threshold.
 Bit 10: Temperature Threshold Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when the TWuEna bit
(adcAcmp[10]) is set to 1 and a temperature measurement is outside the specified temperature
interval defined by registers adcTmin and adcTmax.
 Bit 11: Current Accumulator Threshold Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when the
CAccuThEna bit (adcAcmp[3]) is set to 1 and the accumulated current values rise above the
programmed threshold value (register adcCaccTh) for a positive threshold value or fall below
the programmed threshold value for the negative threshold value.
 Bit 12: Current Overflow Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when the COvrEna bit (adcAcmp[4])
is set to 1 and the compensated value of a current measurement is outside of the representable
range.
 Bit 13: Voltage / Temperature Overflow Interrupt; status is set by the ADC unit when the VTOvrEna

3.7.
SBC Power Management Unit (PMU)
The power management unit (PMU) controls placing the SBC into the selected power down state, controlling the
power down signals for the different analog blocks, and controlling the clocks for the digital logic. It also controls
the other digital modules during the power-down state.
The system provides four different power states:

FP (Full-Power State):
In this state, all blocks are powered except the ADCs if software has not
enabled them. All internal clocks are active (divClk and muxClk are
4MHz), and the MCU is also powered and clocked. When powered and
enabled by software, the ADC clocks are generated from the clock from
the high-precision oscillator.

LP (Low-Power State):
In this state, the high-precision oscillator and the LIN transmitter are
powered down. The MCU clock is stopped, but the MCU remains
powered. Depending on the selected measurement setup, the ADCs are
also powered down during times of inactivity. Otherwise the ADC clocks
are generated from the clock from the low-power oscillator.

ULP (Ultra-Low-Power State): In this state, the high-precision oscillator and the LIN transmitter are
powered down. The MCU clock is stopped, and the MCU is powered
down. Depending on the selected measurement setup, the ADCs are also
powered down during times of inactivity. Otherwise, the ADC clocks are
generated from the clock from the low-power oscillator.

OFF (Off State):
In this state, all analog blocks except the digital power supply for the SBC
and the RX part of the LIN PHY are powered down. The MCU clock is
stopped, and the MCU is powered down.
To enter any of the power-down states (LP, ULP, or OFF), software must first set the pdState field of register
pwrCfgLp to select the state and enable the interrupts needed as the wakeup source before writing A9HEX to
register gotoPd. Immediately after A9HEX is written to the gotoPd register, the CSN line must be driven high.
Although for all other register accesses, the CSN line can be kept low and the next SPI transfer can follow
immediately, it is mandatory to drive CSN high for the power-down command. Otherwise, the PMU remains in the
FP state.
Important: If no interrupt is enabled, the system can only be awakened by power-on-reset.
Important: The CSN line must be driven high to go to power-down after writing the value A9HEX to register
gotoPd.
The following tasks are always performed on transition to any power-down state by the PMU:







Both ADCs are stopped. Any active measurement is interrupted. ADC control is transferred to the PMU.
The configuration values that can be configured independently for full-power and power-down states are
switched to the power-down settings.
The sleep timer is cleared and enabled.
The MCU clock is stopped.
The high-precision oscillator is powered down.
The TX part of the LIN PHY is powered down.
The source for the muxClk changes from divClk to lpClk.

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
When any of the enabled interrupts occurs and the interrupt pin IRQN is driven low, the system wakes up
immediately; any ADC measurement that is active during power-down state is stopped. All mandatory blocks are
powered up, and the system waits for stabilization before re-enabling the MCU clock.
If any of the enabled interrupts is already active on reception of the power-down command or becomes active on
transition to the requested power-down state, the system rejects the power-down command or re-enables those
blocks that are already powered down. Depending on the time when the power-down procedure was interrupted,
it is possible that the sleep timer was not cleared. In this case, the sleep timer valid flag is cleared, signaling that
the sleep timer value in register sleepTCurCnt is not valid. This flag is mapped to SSW[1].
3.7.1.
FP State
After the initial power-on reset when the OTP contents are downloaded into the registers and all blocks have
stabilized, the system enters the FP state. In this state, all voltage regulators, both oscillators and the LIN PHY
are powered but the ADCs are still powered down.
Important: Both ADCs are powered down after power-on reset.
To be able to use the ADCs, the user must first power up the required ADCs by programming register pwrCfgFp,
bits pwrAdcI and/or pwrAdcV. The first bit enables the current ADC and the second bit enables the
voltage/temperature ADC. In this register, there are three other bits that can be set by the user, but they should
be handled with care as the system consumes less power when any of these bits is set but the accuracy of the
measurement results is reduced:



lpEnaFp
ulpEnaFp
pdRefbufOcFp
when set to 1, the bias current for analog blocks is reduced to 10%
when set to 1, the bias current for analog blocks is reduced to 5%
when set to 1, the offset cancellation circuit in the reference buffer is
powered down
Note: When both lpEnaFp and ulpEnaFP are set to 1, the bias current for analog blocks is reduced to 15%.
Important: These settings are only used in FP state. For configuration for the power-down states, register
pwrCfgLp must be used.
The settings in register pwrCfgFp are preserved when entering any power-down state by executing the powerdown command. The PMU overrides these settings or switches to the settings made in register pwrCfgLp on
transition to power-down state. When the system wakes up and returns to the FP state, the PMU restores the
settings as configured in pwrCfgFp regardless of whether any ADC was powered in power-down state or not.

3.7.2.
LP and ULP States
The LP and ULP power-down states are used to save power while doing measurements with lower accuracy. In
both states, the TX part of the LIN PHY and the high-precision oscillator are powered down and the MCU clock is
stopped. The internal clock muxClk is driven by the low-power oscillator with a frequency of 125 kHz while the
internal clock divClk is stopped. In ULP state, the two voltage regulators VDDP (IO voltage for SBC and MCU)
and VDDC (core voltage for MCU) are powered down. In this case, the RAM_PROTN pad is driven low as the
RAM in the MCU remains powered (connected to VDDL) and the signal RAM_PROTN is used to protect the RAM
inputs. The state of the ADCs and the other analog blocks needed for measurements depends on the configured
measurement setup for the power-down state (see following subsections). The blocks are powered when they are
needed for measurement and powered down when they are not needed for measurement. This is controlled by
the PMU as well as the control signals (start, stop, mode) for the digital ADC unit.
The main configuration register for the power-down behavior is register pwrCfgLp. The field pdState is used to
select the power-down state to be entered on reception of the power-down command, and the field pdMeas is
used to define the measurement setup to be used during the power-down state.
There are three other bits to configure the power-down behavior:



lpEnaLp
ulpEnaLp
pwrRefbufOcLp
when set to 1, the bias current for analog blocks is reduced to 10%
when set to 1, the bias current for analog blocks is reduced to 5%
when set to 1, the offset cancellation circuit in the reference buffer is powered up
Note: When both lpEnaLp and ulpEnaLp are set to 1, the bias current for analog blocks is reduced to 15%.
For the corresponding bits for the FP state, lpEnaFp and ulpEnaFp, the meaning is the same, but the default
settings are different. While there is no bias current reduction during FP state (default setting for both bits is 0),
the default bias current for the LP and ULP states is reduced to 10%. The meaning of the control bit for the offset
cancellation differs: the FP state control bit is a power-down signal; the LP/ULP state control bit is a power-up bit.
While the offset cancellation is enabled by default during the FP state (pdRefbufOcFp == 0), the offset
cancellation is disabled by default during the LP or ULP state (pwrRefbufOcLp == 0). Both bits are configurable
by the user.
On transition to the LP or ULP state, the sleep timer and the ADC trigger timer are cleared. While the sleep timer
is always enabled during power-down states, the ADC trigger timer is only enabled when performing discrete
measurements. When the sleep timer interrupt is enabled, the system wakes up when the sleep timer expires. If
the sleep timer interrupt is not enabled, the sleep timer stops when it expires, but the ADC trigger timer, if enabled
due to the measurement configuration, continues its operation. For wake-up, other interrupts must be enabled;
e.g., LIN wakeup.
Note: The sleep timer is always active during LP and ULP state.
Note: When reading the sleep timer value after wake-up by another enabled interrupt, the sleep timer is only valid
when it has not reached its compare value although the valid flag says valid. Whether the sleep timer is valid can
be determined by the sleep timer status bit.
When the system wakes up and returns to FP state, the sleep timer is stopped. Software can read the sleep timer
value to determine the duration of the power-down state.

3.7.2.1. Performing No Measurements during LP/ULP State
When the LP or ULP state has been entered, all analog blocks related to the ADCs are powered down. If the
system goes to power down without performing any measurements, only three different wake-up sources are
possible: the watchdog timer interrupt, the sleep timer interrupt, and the LIN wakeup interrupt.
Important: At least one of these interrupts must be enabled, as otherwise the system can only wake up by a
power-on reset. If no interrupt is enabled, the system cannot wake up.
To go to LP or ULP state without performing measurements, the following tasks must be done:

Enable at least one of the following interrupts:
o Set irqEna[0] to 1 to enable the watchdog interrupt to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[1] to 1 to enable the sleep timer to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[4] to 1 to enable the LIN wake-up detector and to enable the system to wake up
due to a LIN wakeup frame.





Configure the sleep timer compare value (register sleepTCmp) if needed.
Set pdState to 0 or 1 to configure the LP state or to 2 to configure the ULP state.
Set pdMeas to 0 to configure the system to perform no measurements.
Set lpEnaLp, ulpEnaLp and pwrRefbufOcLp as needed.
Write A9HEX to register gotoPd and then drive the CSN line high.
When an enabled interrupt occurs, the system wakes up and the settings from register pwrCfgFp are restored.
When all blocks have stabilized, the MCU clock is re-enabled and if coming out of the ULP state, the MCU reset is
released.

3.7.2.2. Performing Discrete Measurements of Current during LP/ULP State
The system can be configured to periodically enable the current ADC and to measure the current during the LP or
ULP state. The current ADC can be configured to perform several current measurements during each
measurement phase (indicated by green blocks in Figure 3.6). Upon entering the LP/ULP state and between the
measurements, the current ADC is powered down. The voltage/temperature ADC is powered down for the entire
power-down period. The PMU powers up the current ADC when triggered by the ADC trigger timer. Possible
wake-up sources during this scenario are the watchdog timer interrupt, the sleep timer interrupt, the LIN wakeup
interrupt, or any of the ADC interrupts related to current.
Important: If no interrupt is enabled, the system cannot wake up.
To go to LP or ULP state and perform discrete current measurements, the following tasks must be done:

Enable at least one of the following interrupts:
o Set irqEna[0] to 1 to enable the watchdog interrupt to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[1] to 1 to enable the sleep timer to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[4] to 1 to enable the LIN wake-up detector and to enable the system to wake up
due to a LIN wakeup frame.
o Enable any ADC interrupt related to current.






Configure the sleep timer compare value (register sleepTCmp) if needed.
Configure the ADC trigger timer compare value (register sleepTAdcCmp) as needed.
Set pdState to 0 or 1 to configure LP state or to 2 to configure ULP state.
Set pdMeas to 1 to configure the system to perform discrete current measurements.
Set lpEnaLp, ulpEnaLp and pwrRefbufOcLp as needed.
Write A9HEX to register gotoPd and then drive the CSN line high.
When an enabled interrupt occurs, the system wakes up and the settings from register pwrCfgFp are restored.
When all blocks have stabilized, the MCU clock is re-enabled and if coming out of ULP state, the MCU reset is
released.
Important: If any measurement is active while an enabled interrupt occurs (e.g., the sleep timer expires), the
measurement is interrupted and the system returns to the FP state.
In example shown in Figure 3.6, the first wakeup is by the ADC and the second wake-up is by the sleep timer;
however, the wakeups could be other combinations of the watchdog timer interrupt, sleep timer interrupt, and/or
LIN wakeup interrupt.

3.7.2.3. Performing Discrete Measurements of Current, Voltage, and Internal Temperature during
LP/ULP State
The system can be configured to periodically enable both ADCs and to measure current, voltage, and internal
temperature or external temperature (see section 3.7.2.4 for external temperature) during the LP or ULP state.
The sequence can be selected in the pdMeas bit field [4:2] in register pwrCfgLp, which also selects whether
internal or external temperature is measured. The period between each measurement is determined by the ADC
trigger timer (sleepTAdcCmp). The current ADC can be configured to perform multiple current measurements
during each measurement phase (indicated by green and orange blocks in Figure 3.7 to Figure 3.9) while the
voltage/temperature ADC can be configured to perform multiple voltage measurements (orange blocks in Figure
3.7 to Figure 3.9). After performing the configured number of voltage measurements, the PMU changes the
configuration for the voltage/temperature ADC and performs a single measurement of the internal temperature.
Voltage and temperature are not measured in every loop if the ADCs are configured for measuring only current in
a specified number of initial loops. The user can configure register discCvtCnt so that in the first discCvtCnt
loops, only current is measured before voltage and temperature are measured in the next loop.
Upon entering the LP/ULP state and between the measurements, both ADCs are powered down. The PMU
powers up the current ADC when triggered by the ADC trigger timer. The voltage/temperature ADC is only
powered up after discCvtCnt current-only measurements have been performed. Possible wake-up sources in
this setup are all interrupts except the LIN short and LIN TXD timeout interrupts.
Important: If no interrupt is enabled, the system cannot wake up.
To go to the LP or ULP state and perform measurements of discrete current, voltage, and internal temperature,
the following tasks must be done:

Enable at least one of the following interrupts:
o Set irqEna[0] to 1 to enable the watchdog interrupt to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[1] to 1 to enable the sleep timer to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[4] to 1 to enable LIN wake-up detector and to enable the system to wake up due to
a LIN wakeup frame.
o Enable any ADC interrupt.




Configure the sleep timer compare value (register sleepTCmp) if needed.
Configure the ADC trigger timer compare value (register sleepTAdcCmp) as needed.
Set pdState to 0 or 1 to configure the LP state or to 2 to configure the ULP state.
Set pdMeas to 2 to configure the system to perform discrete current, voltage, and internal temperature
measurements.
Set discCvtCnt as needed. This register defines the number of current-only measurement loops before
performing measurement of all three parameters.
Set lpEnaLp, ulpEnaLp and pwrRefbufOcLp as needed.
Write A9HEX to register gotoPd and then drive the CSN line high.



When an enabled interrupt occurs, the system wakes up and the settings from register pwrCfgFp are restored.
When all blocks have stabilized, the MCU clock is re-enabled and if coming out of the ULP state, the MCU reset is
released.

setting).

3.7.2.4. Performing Discrete Measurements of Current, Voltage and External Temperature during LP/ULP
State
This setup is the same as the configuration described in the previous section, except that the external instead of
the internal temperature is measured. To use this option, pdMeas must be set to 3.
3.7.2.5. Performing Continuous Measurements of Current during LP/ULP State
The system can be configured to perform continuous current measurements during the LP or ULP state. While
the current ADC is powered up during the entire power-down state, the voltage/temperature ADC is powered
down.
The current ADC is powered up on entering the LP/ULP state if it was not already powered up during the FP
state. The ADC trigger timer is not enabled as the measurement is continuous. Possible wake-up sources during
this scenario are the watchdog timer interrupt, the sleep timer interrupt, the LIN wakeup interrupt, or any of the
ADC interrupts related to current.
Important: If no interrupt is enabled, the system cannot wake up.
To go to the LP or ULP state and perform continuous current measurements, the following tasks must be done:

Enable at least one of the following interrupts:
o Set irqEna[0] to 1 to enable the watchdog interrupt to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[1] to 1 to enable the sleep timer to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[4] to 1 to enable the LIN wake-up detector and to enable the system to wake up
due to a LIN wakeup frame.
o Enable any ADC interrupt related to current.



Set up the sleep timer compare value (register sleepTCmp) if needed.
Set pdState to 0 or 1 to configure LP state or to 2 to configure ULP state.
Set pdMeas to 4 to configure the system to perform continuous current measurements.
Set lpEnaLp, ulpEnaLp and pwrRefbufOcLp as needed.
Write A9HEX to register gotoPd and then drive the CSN line high.

3.7.2.6. Performing Continuous Measurements of Current and Voltage during LP/ULP State
The system can be configured to perform continuous current and voltage measurements during the LP or ULP
state. Both ADCs are powered up during the entire power-down state.
The ADCs are powered up on entering the LP/ULP state if they were not already powered up during the FP state.
The ADC trigger timer is not enabled as the measurement is continuous. Possible wake-up sources during this
scenario are the watchdog timer interrupt, the sleep timer interrupt, the LIN wakeup interrupt, or any of the ADC
interrupts related to current or voltage.
Important: If no interrupt is enabled, the system cannot wake up.

To go to the LP or ULP state and perform continuous current and voltage measurements, the following tasks must
be done:

Enable at least one of the following interrupts:
o Set irqEna[0] to 1 to enable the watchdog interrupt to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[1] to 1 to enable the sleep timer to wake up the system.
o Set irqEna[4] to 1 to enable the LIN wake-up detector and to enable the system to wake up
due to a LIN wakeup frame.
o Enable any ADC interrupt related to current.





Set up the sleep timer compare value (register sleepTCmp) if needed.
Set pdState to 0 or 1 to configure the LP state or to 2 to configure the ULP state.
Set pdMeas to 5 to configure the system to perform continuous current and voltage measurements.
Set lpEnaLp, ulpEnaLp and pwrRefbufOcLp as needed.
Write A9HEX to register gotoPd and then drive the CSN line high.
When an enabled interrupt occurs, the system wakes up and the settings from register pwrCfgFp are restored.
When all blocks have stabilized, the MCU clock is re-enabled and if coming out of ULP state, the MCU reset is
released.
Important: If any measurement is active while an enabled interrupt occurs (e.g., the sleep timer expires), the
measurement is interrupted and the system returns to the FP state.

3.7.2.7. Performing Continuous Measurements of Current and Internal Temperature during LP/ULP State
This setup is the same as the configuration described in the previous section, except that the internal temperature
instead of the voltage is measured. To use this option, pdMeas must be set to 6. Possible wake-up sources
during this scenario are the watchdog timer interrupt, the sleep timer interrupt, the LIN wakeup interrupt, or any of
the ADC interrupts related to current or temperature.

3.7.2.8. Performing Continuous Measurements of Current and External Temperature during
LP/ULP State
This setup is the same as the configuration described in the previous section, except that the external
temperature instead of the internal temperature is measured. To use this option, pdMeas must be set to 7.
Possible wake-up sources during this scenario are the watchdog timer interrupt, the sleep timer interrupt, the LIN
wakeup interrupt, or any of the ADC interrupts related to current or temperature.
3.7.3.
OFF State
The OFF state is the power-down state with the lowest current consumption and no ADC measurements are
possible. It is intended for long periods of inactivity; e.g., when a vehicle is shipped around the world. During this
state, all oscillators and clocks are turned off, the MCU is not powered, and most of the analog blocks are
powered down. Only the digital core and the RX part of the LIN PHY remain powered. The system can only wake
up via the detection of a LIN wakeup frame. To go to the OFF state, the following tasks must be done:

Set irqEna[4] to 1 to enable the LIN wake-up detector and to enable the system to wake up due to a
LIN wakeup frame.
Set pdState to 3 to configure the OFF state as the power-down state to be entered.
Write A9HEX to register gotoPd and then drive the CSN line high.


When the LIN RXD line goes low during the OFF state, the low-power oscillator is re-enabled and the digital logic
checks if the LIN RXD line is low for more than 150µs. If this is true, the complete system returns to FP state and
the MCU is powered up, reset, and clocked again. If the LIN RXD line was low for less than 150µs, the low-power
oscillator is powered down again and the system remains in the OFF state.
Important: If the LIN wakeup interrupt is not enabled, the system only can only wake up by a power-on reset.

SBC ADC Unit
The measurement subsystem incorporates two independent and synchronized high-resolution ADCs for
monitoring two channels. The conversion scheme is based on the sigma-delta modulation (SDM) principle. One
channel (ADC-I) is exclusively used for current measurement and includes a pre-amplifier with offset cancellation
circuitry. The second channel (ADC-V/T) can be programmed to measure either voltage or temperature (internal
or external).
The raw conversion data can be post-processed by calibration data to achieve a minimum offset and gain error
(gain and offset correction). The conversion results are stored in the register file from where they can be read via
the SPI digital communication interface. A completed conversion is flagged by a “data ready” signal that can be
used as an interrupt source for the MCU. A detailed functional block diagram of the analog circuitry is shown in
Figure 3.13.

3.8.1.
ADC Clocks
Two clocks are generated in the digital part of the ADC unit and are driven to the analog part. The SMD clock is
used for both SD-ADCs. The chop clock is used for the chopping operation within the SD-ADCs. The base for
both clocks is the multiplexed clock muxClk, which is a 4MHz clock in FP state and a 125kHz clock in LP/ULP
state.
3.8.1.1. ADC Clocks in FP State
In the FP state, the SDM clock is generated from the 4MHz clock by dividing it by two times the value programmed into the field sdmClkDivFp in register sdmClkCfgFp (see Table 3.24):
fSDM 
fHP
2 * sdmClkDivFp
fHP  4 MHz
(4)
Important: When sdmClkDivFp is set to 0, the frequency of SDM clock is 2MHz.
The chop clock is generated from the SDM clock by further dividing it by 2, 4, 8, or 16 depending on the setting of
the sdmChopClkDiv field in register adcGomd (see Table 3.55):
fCHOP  fSDM  2 -( sdmClkChopDiv1)
(5)
Although the clock bases used to generate the SDM clock and the chop clock have a frequency of 4MHz, the
position of the clock edges used for the clock generation can be shifted relative to the 4MHz clock used for the
digital logic to obtain optimal noise behavior for the analog part. The 4MHz clock used to generate the SDM clock
(CLKSDMBASE; see Figure 3.13 through Figure 3.16) is delayed relative to the 4MHz clock used for the digital logic
(CLKMUXCLK) by one to four 20MHz clock cycles (CLKHPOSC) depending on the settings of the field sdmPos in
register sdmClkCfgFp (see Table 3.24). The 4MHz clock used to generate the chop clock (CLKCHOPBASE) is
delayed relative to the 4MHz clock used for the digital logic (CLKSDMBASE) by zero to four 20MHz clock cycles
depending on the settings of field sdmPos2 and field sdmPos in register sdmClkCfgFp. The delay in the number
of 20MHz clock cycles of the chop clock to the SDM clock can be calculated using the following formula:
delay  (sdmPos2 - sdmPos) mod5
(6)
Important: The delay programmed into field sdmPos2 is related to CLKMUXCLK, not to CLKSDMBASE. Table 3.22
shows the value that must be programmed into field sdmPos2 depending on the field sdmPos and the desired
delay.

The chop clock is generated from the SDM clock by further dividing it by 2, 4, 8, or 16 depending on the setting of
the field sdmChopClkDiv in register adcGomd (see Table 3.55):

(8)
Both the SMD and chop clocks are generated from the same 125kHz clock that is used for the digital logic.
Shifting of the clocks used to generate the SDM and chop clock is not possible and not needed as the analog
clocks are generated on the falling clock edge where the digital logic is already stable and will not influence the
analog part.

Figure 3.19 Data Post Correction
First, an over-range check is performed on the incoming data. Values that are outside the interval [-0.75; 0.75) are
always mapped to the corresponding interval boundary. This is done for better results as the ADC accuracy
decreases for large input values. The user can enable a “set interrupt” strobe for each of the two channels by
setting the adcAcmp register bits COvrEna and VTOvrEna to 1 (see Table 3.54).
Note: The “set interrupt” strobes go to the interrupt controller. They have a different meaning than the
corresponding “interrupt enable” bits (interrupt bits [15:14]) in the irqEna register. The “set interrupt” bits are
used to select whether the interrupt status bits will be set or not; the “interrupt enable” bits select whether the
interrupt status bits will drive the interrupt line or not.
After the over-range check, a programmable offset, interpreted as a number in range [-1.0; 1.0), is added to the
data. Three registers allow setting different offsets for current, voltage, and temperature: adcCoff, adcVoff, and
adcToff (see Table 3.25, Table 3.27, and Table 3.29 respectively). The offset correction is followed by two
multiplication stages. In the first multiplication stage, individual gain factors for current (adcCgan), voltage
(adcVgan), or temperature (adcTgan), interpreted as numbers in the range [0.0; 2.0), are multiplied by the offset
corrected data (see Table 3.26, Table 3.28, and Table 3.30 respectively). The second multiplication stage is used
to shift the significant data into the most significant bits of the result register. The data is multiplied by 1, 2, 4, or 8,
which can be individually selected for current, voltage, and temperature via the curPoCoGain, voltPoCoGain,
and tempPoCoGain fields in the adcPoCoGain register (see Table 3.31).

representable range of [-1.0; 1.0). The user can also enable a “set interrupt” strobe for each of the two channels
by setting the adcAcmp register bits CovrEna and VTOvrEna to 1 (same bits as for the over-range check).
Note: Although the same “set interrupt strobe enable” bits are used for over-range and overflow, independent
interrupt status bits exist that can be individually enabled or disabled for overflow (interrupt bits [13:12]).
Figure 3.21 illustrates the common enable CovrEna for the interrupt strobes for current over-range and overflow.
The function of VTOvrEna as the common enable for the interrupt strobes for voltage/temperature over-range and
overflow conditions is similar.

3.8.3.6. Result Counter Functionality and Conversion Ready Strobes
Three status bits are available in the interrupt status (irqStat[7:5]) that signal that the conversion of current,
voltage, or temperature has completed. The “set interrupt” strobe is generated for each completed temperature
measurement. For the voltage and current measurements, the user can independently select whether the
corresponding “set interrupt” strobe will be generated after each single measurement (SRCS – single result count
sequence) or after N measurements (MRCS – multi-result count sequence).
The register adcCrcl configures the number of current measurements before the current conversion ready
strobe is generated; the maximum number is 65535. Setting this register to 0 disables the result count
functionality which means that SRCS is configured. The present result counter value can always be read from the
register adcCrcv. The result counter is reset when startAdcC is set (rising edge) in FP state (see Table 3.58)
or at start of the first measurement in LP/ULP state. It is set to 1 at the end of the first measurement after the limit
defined in adcCrcl has been reached.
The register adcVrcl configures the number of measurements before the voltage conversion ready strobe is
generated, the maximum number is 15. Setting this register to 0 disables the result count functionality, which
means that SRCS is configured. The present result counter value can always be read from the register adcVrcv.
The result counter is reset when startAdcV is set (rising edge) in the FP state (see Table 3.58) or at the start of
the first measurement in the LP/ULP state. It is set to 1 at the end of the first measurement after the limit defined
in adcVrcl was reached.
Note: Setting register adcCrcl or adcVrcl to 1 leads to SRCS in the corresponding channel.

3.8.3.11. Current Threshold Comparator Functionality
The current threshold comparator functionality is used to monitor the current level and to generate an interrupt
(irqStat[8]) if the absolute current value exceeds a programmable limit for a configurable number of
conversion results. This functionality is enabled when the field ctcvMode in register adcAcmp is set to a non-zero
value. If enabled, this function is always triggered when a new current value is measured. The absolute value of
the most significant 17 bits of the measured current value is compared to the expanded programmable threshold
register adcCrth (see Table 3.41):
absadcCdat 23 : 7  0, adcCrth
(13)
When the current threshold comparator functionality is enabled, the current threshold counter is used to count the
number of conversions where the absolute current value is above the threshold. If the absolute current value is
greater than or equal to the programmed threshold (above formula is true), the internal current threshold counter
is incremented (until it reaches its maximum value FF HEX). Otherwise the counter is either decremented (if
ctcvMode field in register adcAcmp is set to 1) or reset (if ctcvMode is set to 2), or it remains unchanged (if
ctcvMode is set to 3). The present value of the current threshold counter can be read from the register adcCtcv
(see Table 3.43).
Note: When bit field ctcvMode is set to 00BIN, the current threshold comparator functionality is disabled and
register adcCrtv is always 0.
Note: When ctcvMode is set to 01BIN, the current threshold counter is not decremented when the counter is 0.
After each comparison of the absolute current value versus the current threshold level and after the current
threshold counter has been updated, the internal current threshold counter is compared to the current threshold
counter limit (register adcCtcl; see Table 3.42). Whenever the current threshold counter is greater than or equal
to the programmable limit, a “set interrupt” strobe is generated.

3.8.3.15. Current Accumulator Functionality
The current accumulator functionality is used to sum up all current conversion results. The present accumulator
value can be read from the register adcCaccu (signed value; see Table 3.45). Positive conversion results
increment the accumulator register; negative conversion results decrement it. The accumulator register saturates
at its minimum and maximum value.
The current accumulator is reset to 0 under these conditions:



On assertion of startAdcI (rising edge) in the FP state
At start of the first conversion in the LP or ULP state
Each time the result counter is reset (if the result counter is enabled) and the current accumulator reset
mode bit (bit accuRstMode in register adcAcmp) is set to 1
Note: The current accumulator functionality can be used to calculate the mean value of the current.
The current accumulator is also compared to a programmable signed accumulator threshold value (register
adcCaccTh). This comparison can be used to generate a “set interrupt” strobe for irqStat[11], but to enable
the generation of the “set interrupt” strobe, bit CaccuThEna in register adcAcmp must be set to 1. The “set
interrupt” strobe is always generated on update of the accumulator register when

3.8.3.18. Voltage Threshold Comparator and Voltage Accumulator Functionality
The ZSSC1956 also provides a threshold comparator as well as an accumulator comparator for the battery
voltage channel but with reduced functionality.
When the VthSel bit in register adcAcmp is set to 0, the absolute value of the most significant 17 bits of a single
voltage measurement (register adcVdat) is compared to the programmable voltage threshold (register adcVTh).
In this case, register adcVTh is interpreted as an unsigned value. There is also no counter functionality. Whenever the absolute voltage value is below the programmed threshold, a “set interrupt” strobe for irqStat[9] is
generated when the strobe generation is enabled (field VthWuEna in register adcAcmp is set to 1).
absadcVdat23 : 7  0, adcVTh
(14)
When bit VthSel in register adcAcmp is set to 1, the voltage accumulator functionality is enabled. The voltage
result counter functionality must also be enabled (register adcVrcl > 0). The voltage accumulator functionality is
used to sum up all voltage conversion results. In contrast to the current channel, only the upper 20 bits of the
voltage conversion results are accumulated. The present accumulator value can be read from the register
adcVaccu (signed value; see Table 3.47). Positive conversion results increment the accumulator register;
negative conversion results decrement it. The accumulator register saturates at its minimum and maximum value.
The voltage accumulator is reset to 0 under these conditions:
 On assertion of startAdcV (rising edge) in the FP state
 At start of the first conversion in the LP or ULP state
 Each time the result counter is reset (if the result counter is enabled)
Note: The voltage accumulator functionality can be used to calculate the mean value of the voltage.
After the last accumulation within an MRCS, the upper 16 bits of the voltage accumulator are compared to the
voltage threshold adcVTh, which is interpreted as a signed value in this case. This comparison can be used to
generate a “set interrupt” strobe for irqStat[9], but to enable the generation of the “set interrupt” strobe, bit
VthWuEna in register adcAcmp must be set to 1. The “set interrupt” strobe is generated when



adcVTh is greater than 0 and adcVaccu is less than or equal to adcVTh
adcVTh is lower than 0 and adcVaccu is greater than or equal to adcVTh
adcVTh is equal to 0 and adcVaccu is equal to 0
Important: The threshold adcVTh is either interpreted as an unsigned or signed value depending on the
operation mode (VthSel).
Note: the voltage comparators compare only on the MSBs of the conversion result, so it might be beneficial to
use the post correction gain functionality to shift left the results to increase the accuracy of the comparison.

For current and voltage measurements, the minimum and maximum values are determined on the upper 16 bits

adcVmax, and adcVmin. These registers are reset in the same manner as the corresponding accumulator
registers. These values are only provided for statistical reasons and can be used to judge the accumulated
current or voltage values when used for mean value calculation.
Note: As the minimum and maximum values are only determined on the MSBs of the corresponding conversion
results, it might be beneficial to use the post correction gain functionality to shift left the results to increase the
accuracy of the comparison.

3.8.3.26. Temperature Limits
The user can define an upper (register adcTmax) and a lower (register adcTmin) limit for the external and internal temperature measurement. On each update of register adcTdat (see Table 3.34), the upper 8 bits are compared to the signed limit values. This can be used to generate a “set interrupt” strobe for irqStat[10] if the
value for adcTdat is outside the interval [adcTmin; adcTmax] and the TwuEna bit in register adcAcmp has been
set to 1.
Note: The minimum and maximum values are only compared to the MSBs of the conversion result, so it might be
beneficial to use the post correction gain functionality to shift left the results to increase the accuracy of the
comparison.
Important: Because the value stored in register adcTdat is inverted, the value given in register adcTmax is
actually the value for the lower temperature and the value given in register adcTmin is actually the value for the
higher temperature.

3.8.4.
ADC Control and Conversion Timing
In the FP state, the ADC unit is running with the 4 MHz clock derived from the HP oscillator. Its operation is fully
controlled by the MCU via register settings. In the LP or ULP state, the ADC unit is running with the 125 kHz clock
from the LP oscillator. While basic configurations for the ADC unit are taken from the register file, its operation is
fully controlled by the PMU.
3.8.4.1. ADC Operation in the FP State
Before any of the ADCs can be used in the FP state, they must be powered up by setting the pwrAdcI bit for the
current ADC and/or the pwrAdcV bit for the voltage/temperature ADC in the pwrCfgFp register to 1 (see Table
3.18). These bits can be kept set to 1 when entering one of the power-down states as the PMU takes over the
control of the power signals.
The user can select which kind of operation will be performed by the ADCs. For this, the user can control the input
multiplexers shown in Figure 3.12 by setting the field adcMode in the adcCtrl register appropriately (see Table
3.58). The following settings are possible:

* Note: The two Gain Calibration Modes cause an ADC over-range error in the current ADC as the minimum gain
of PGA2 is 4. Therefore these modes are not usable for the current ADC.
After setting the desired mode of operation, the user must start the conversion by setting the startAdcC bit in
the adcCtrl register (see Table 3.58) for the current channel and/or the startAdcV bit for the
voltage/temperature channel to 1. After an initial setup phase, measurement results are stored in the
corresponding result registers. By controlling the startAdc bits, the user is able to generate an individual
conversion sequence (ADC operation stops after one conversion sequence has finished) or continuous
conversion (ADC operation continues after one conversion sequence has finished).

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
A conversion sequence is defined as a series of several measurements. The number of measurements to be
performed is controlled by the result counter functionality, so it is possible to have multiple measurements per
conversion sequence (MRCS) or just a single measurement (SRCS). At the end of one conversion sequence, the
“set interrupt” strobe for the corresponding conversion interrupt ready status bit (irqStat[7:5]) is generated.
Although this strobe is only generated after the last measurement within an MRCS, each measurement in the
MRCS is used for accumulation and min/max determination.
Note: The MRCS functionality is only available for current and voltage measurements, not for temperature
measurements.
To perform an individual conversion sequence for SRCS or MRCS, the user must generate a strobe signal on the
corresponding startAdc bit by setting the startAdc bit to 1 (rising edge) first and then to 0 (falling edge). The
rising edge of startAdc signals the ADC to start the conversion. On this start signal, the corresponding
adcActive flag is set to 1, which can be read from bits 4 and/or 5 in the SSW. When the conversion sequence
has finished, the corresponding ready signal is generated. At that time, the internal logic evaluates the status of
the startAdc bit again. If it was cleared already as required for an individual conversion sequence, the ADC
stops its operation and clears the adcActive flag. This behavior is shown in Figure 3.22 and Figure 3.23.

To perform a continuous conversion sequence for SRCS or MRCS, the user must set the corresponding
startAdc bit to 1 (rising edge). The rising edge of startAdc signals the ADC to start the conversion. On this
start signal, the corresponding adcActive flag is set to 1, which can be read from bits 4 and 5 in the SSW. When
one conversion sequence has finished, the corresponding ready signal is generated. At that time, the internal
logic evaluates the status of the startAdc bit again. As the startAdc bit is still 1, the ADC continues its
operation but without the need for the setup time. This behavior is shown in Figure 3.24 and Figure 3.25.

When a continuous conversion sequence is performed that will be stopped after the present active conversion
sequence has completed, the user only needs to clear the startAdc bit of the channel that will be stopped. Then
the user can either wait for the next interrupt, which will be set by the last ready strobe, or check the
corresponding adcActive bit in the SSW.

When a conversion sequence is performed that will be interrupted (stopped immediately), the user must clear the
startAdc bit of the channel that will be stopped (when set) and must set the stopAdc bit in the adcCtrl
register to 1. In the ADC unit, the stopAdc bit is only evaluated when the startAdc bit of a channel is low and
the corresponding adcActive bit is high.

Note that the ADC stops since startAdc is low at the end of the conversion sequence for a continuous MRCS;
otherwise the stopAdc bit is ignored. Therefore there is only one stopAdc bit that is used for both channels.
This allows the user to stop both channels by clearing both startAdc bits when setting the stopAdc bit or to
stop only one channel by keeping one startAdc bit high.

Note that the ADC immediately stops since startAdc is low and stopAdc is high.
Important: The stopAdc bit is only evaluated when startAdc bit is low.
Note: The interrupt sequence shown in Figure 3.28 and Figure 3.29 is also performed by the PMU on transition
from the FP state to any power-down state as well as on transition from any power-down state to the FP state.
This allows the user to keep the startAdc bits set on transition to any power-down state. After wake-up, the
ADCs continue the operation they performed before going to power-down.
Most of the register settings that influence both ADC channels (e.g., oversampling rate) can only be changed
when both ADC channels are inactive. As explained above, this is not true for the stopAdc bit. The adcMode
field can also be changed while any ADC channel is active. This is useful for continuing with current
measurements in the first ADC channel while changing the second ADC channel from voltage to temperature
measurements (as an example). On the rising edge of its startAdc bit, each ADC channel stores internally the
mode it is configured for and keeps this setting until the next rising edge of its startAdc bit.

When one channel is reconfigured while the other one is active, this channel does not start immediately after
being re-enabled but synchronizes to the active channel so that the results are generated at the same time. This

3.8.4.3. ADC Operation in LP / ULP State
During the LP or ULP state, the ADCs are fully controlled by the PMU depending on the settings of register
pwrCfgLp (see Table 3.19). The PMU overrides the settings of the startAdc bits, the stopAdc bit, and
adcMode field. The settings of pwrAdcI and pwrAdcV are also ignored until the system wakes up. While no
further settings are required for the continuous measurement set-ups, the user can independently configure how
many current and/or voltage measurements happen within a single measurement window. For current (the green
and orange boxes In Figure 3.6 to Figure 3.9), the number of current measurements in each window is configured
by the setting of adcCrcl. For voltage (the orange boxes in Figure 3.7 through Figure 3.9), the number of voltage
measurements in each window is configured by the setting of adcVrcl. There is always only one temperature
measurement.
Important: If an interrupt wakes up the system before the end of a measurement window, the conversion
sequence is interrupted and less than the configured number of measurements will have been completed. This
can be checked by the registers adcCrcv and adcVrcv.

3.8.4.4. ADC Conversion Timing
The complete conversion process is controlled by an internal state machine that guarantees that only valid
measurement results are used. The base for all ADC timings is the SDM clock, which is generated from the 4MHz
clock in FP state or from the 125kHz clock in LP and ULP state. After the ADC measurement has been started
(rising edge of startAdc), the state machine always introduces a configurable number of SDM clock cycles (field
sdmSetup in register adcGomd) to allow the analog part of the SDM to settle. After this delay, the incoming bit
4
streams are used to fill the sinc decimation filter. This lasts 4 times the sample rate, which is configured by the
oversampling rate (the osr field in register adcSamp). Then the first valid result value comes from the decimation
filter.

For current, voltage, or internal temperature measurement without chopping, when only one input source must be
measured, this is the first valid value. The time when the first valid result is present also depends on the
configuration of the average filter (the avgFiltCfg field in register adcSamp). If no averaging is used, the first
valid value is also the first valid result stored in adcCdat, adcVdat, or adcTdat. For the 2-stage or 3-stage
average filter, respectively, two or three valid values are needed to calculate a valid result. This adds an additional
delay, respectively, of 1 or 2 times the sample rate.

For external temperature measurement without chopping, two input sources must be measured: the voltage drop
over the reference resistor (the result is stored in register adcRdat) and the voltage drop over the NTC resistor
(result stored in register adcTdat). The sdmSetup time is only introduced at the beginning of the conversion
sequence (the rising edge of startAdc). Each single measurement of one of the two values needs 4 times the
sample rate when averaging is disabled, or respectively, 5 or 6 times the sample rate when using the 2-stage or
3-stage average filter. This also means that a complete pair of values used to calculate one external temperature
4
value needs 8 (10 or 12 for averaging) times the sample rate because for each value, the pipeline of the sinc
decimation filter must be filled first.

Note that using an average filter will lead, respectively, to 5 and 6 conversion results during each high and low
phase of ref_not_ntc.
The timings shown in the previous two figures are without chopping, which means that the differential input signal
is always applied in the same manner to the analog SDM-ADC. Although this kind of measurement is fast (one
result value after each sample time), it has the drawback that it also converts any offset present in the analog
blocks. This would lead to less accurate measurement results. To overcome this, chopping can be enabled (bit
chopEna in register adcCtrl). When chopping is enabled, the differential input signal is directly applied to the
analog SDM-ADC the first time and inverted the second time. Taking this into account in the digital part removes
the offset applied by the ADC itself:

For current, voltage, or internal temperature measurement with Chopping Mode enabled (chopEna set to 1), this
leads to a timing similar to the external temperature measurement without chopping and averaging since two
values are measured: the normal input and the inverted input. Each single measurement of one of the two values
needs 4 times the sample rate as no averaging of the single measurement is performed. Instead, the average
filter is automatically configured as a 2-stage average filter to calculate the formula above.
The second difference is that a small pause (chopping pause) is introduced each time the chop control signal
changes to allow the analog blocks to settle due to the input change. This is possible since the chopEna bit
influences both ADC paths. The length of the chop pause is either 8 or 16 SDM clock cycles, which can be
configured using the chopPause bit in register adcSamp.

For external temperature measurement using chopping, two different input sources must be measured twice, noninverted and inverted, which leads to four values to be measured to get a result. To keep both ADC paths aligned,
the chopPause is introduced for each measured value.

Diagnostic Features
3.8.5.1. ADC Analog Multiplexer Control for Diagnosis and Test
In the FP state, the three multiplexers shown in Figure 3.12 can be directly controlled via register adcChan when
the adcMode field in register adcCtrl is set to 7 (see Table 3.58). For other settings of adcMode, the settings of
register adcChan are ignored and both multiplexers for input selection are controlled either by the adcMode
field in FP state or by the PMU in LP or ULP state.
The vtSel field in register adcChan is used to select the input sources of the voltage/temperature ADC. The
cSel field in register adcChan is used to select the input sources of the current ADC. See Table 3.59.
Note: The reference voltage (non-inverted as well as inverted) cannot be measured by the current ADC as the
minimum gain of PGA2 is 4, which causes an ADC overrange error.
For some settings of adcMode, cSel and vtSel, the reference voltage is applied to the ADCs. The user can
select the source of the reference voltage by field vrefSel in register adcGomd (see section 3.8.3.31). As can
be seen from in Figure 3.12, the user can connect internal current sources to the input wires of INP and INN as
well as to the input wires of NTH and NTL. To enable the different current sources for the four input wires, the
corresponding enable bit in register currentSrcEna must be set to 1 (see Table 3.62).
Important Warning: Do not enable both current sources on the same input at once.
Important: The current sources can be enabled independent of the adcMode.

Digital Test Features
3.8.6.1. Built-in Self-Test (BIST)
The digital ADC BIST feature allows the user to test the digital logic of the ADC data path. The BIST feature is
enabled by setting the bistEna bit in the adcDiag register to 1 (see Table 3.61). When the BIST feature is
enabled, the same programmable bit stream is applied to both inputs of the decimation filter instead of the outputs
from the noise cancellation filters. The ADCs must also be set into operation as during normal operation.
The bit stream to be applied to the decimation filter is programmed to the lower 30 bits of register adcCaccTh.
These 30 bits function as a shift-rotate register as shown in Figure 3.35, and the output of the lowest bit is used
as the bit stream for the BIST.
Important: When register adcCaccTh is used for the BIST, the current accumulator threshold functionality
cannot be used.

3.8.6.2. Decimation Filter Output Test
The decimation filter output test allows the user to observe the outputs of both decimation filters. This feature is
enabled by setting bit rawEna in register adcDiag to 1 (see Table 3.61). When this feature is enabled, the 32-bit
output value of the decimation filter for the current ADC is stored in registers adcCmax (MSBs; see Table 3.48)
and adcCmin (LSBs; see Table 3.49) and the 32 bit output value of the decimation filter for the voltage/temperature ADC is stored in registers adcVmax (MSBs; see Table 3.50) and adcVmin (LSBs; see Table 3.51). The
ADCs must also be set into operation as during normal operation.
Note: When this feature is enabled, all normal ADC operations described in the previous sections function as
described except the minimum and maximum functionality for the current and voltage values as the registers are
used for this test function.
Note: This feature can be combined with the digital ADC BIST feature.

The ADC interface test allows the user to observe the incoming 2 and 3 order bit streams from both analog
parts of the SD-ADCs. This feature is enabled by setting bit adcIfTestEna in register adcDiag to 1. The digital
part of the ADC unit must be enabled as for normal operation as it generates the correct sample strobe for the
test logic. This function is only available in the FP state as it runs on the 20MHz clock from the high-precision
oscillator. All sampled values (4 bits) are shifted out of the STO pad. To enable the user to synchronize on the
sampled data, a 1 and a 0 are shifted out before each 4-bit value as shown in Table 3.37.

SBC LIN Support Logic
The LIN support logic contains only two functions – most of the LIN communication is handled by the LIN PHY on
one side and the MCU on the other side (see section 4.7). The two functions are used to handle error conditions
(TXD timeout; LIN short) and protect (force to high level) the LIN TXD line to LIN PHY if any of these errors is
detected or when the system is not in full-power state. Figure 3.37 illustrates the error protection logic discussed
in the next sections.

LIN Wakeup Detection
A LIN master generates a LIN wakeup frame by driving a dominant value of 0 of at least 250μs on the LIN bus.
The standard requires that a LIN slave shall recognize a LIN wakeup when the LIN bus is low for more than
150μs.
There is a 6-bit counter running with the 125kHz LP clock implemented in the IBS-SBC to support the LIN wakeup
detection. When the function is disabled (irqEn[4] is set to 0), the counter is set to 20HEX and no interrupt can
occur. When the function is enabled (irqEn[4] is set to 1), the LIN RXD line is observed. When the LIN RXD
line is high, the counter is set to 00HEX. When the LIN RXD line becomes low, the counter is incremented in each
clock cycle until it reaches the value 20 HEX where it stops incrementing. When the counter is equal to the
programmed wakeup delay (register linWuDelay; see Table 3.66), a set strobe for the corresponding interrupt is
generated, which causes the system to wake up.
The register linWuDelay has a default value of 14HEX. This setting guarantees that no low level less than 150μs
on the LIN RXD line causes a wakeup due to the inaccuracy of the LP oscillator.

3.9.2.
TXD Timeout Detection
The digital LIN controller in the MCU ensures that it does not completely block the LIN bus due to continuously
transmitting a dominant value of 0. As it is still possible that the TXD line from the MCU could be stuck at 0 due to
a software or hardware error in the MCU or a broken connection between the two chips, the LIN support logic
observes the TXD line in full-power (FP) state to detect if the TXD line is erroneously low. Because the digital LIN
controller of the MCU is built for baud rates down to 1kBaud, the maximum time that the digital LIN controller
(slave device!) is transmitting a low level is 9ms (start bit and 8 data bits). To overcome inaccuracies of the
internal clocks, the internal logic and untrimmed LIN nodes, the timeout value is 10.24ms. On detection of a TXD
timeout, an internal flag (detTxdTimeout in Figure 3.37) is set to the high level, which forces the LIN TXD line to
1, and the corresponding interrupt status (irqStat[2]) is set. While the interrupt status bit is cleared on read
access to the interrupt status register, the internal flag remains high, also keeping LIN TXD at the high level. The
status of the internal flag is mirrored in SSW[2]. To clear this internal flag and to be able to transmit again via the
LIN bus, a value of 1 must be written to bit clrTxdTimeout in register linCfg (see Table 3.63).
3.9.3.
LIN Short Detection
The LIN PHY contains a function to detect a short to VBAT on the LIN bus by sensing the current through the
open-drain output transistor in the LIN PHY. When the current is too high, the LIN PHY drives the SHORT signal
going to the digital block to the high level (see Figure 3.38). Under normal circumstances, the LIN PHY signals a
short only if a dominant value of 0 will be transmitted, but the bus remains at its recessive high level. However,
high current consumption is also possible due to EMC events. To increase the safety of the system and to avoid
misinterpretation, the incoming SHORT signal is gated and filtered.
First, the SHORT signal from the LIN PHY is driven through a configurable gating block in the digital block. The
gating block is configured using register linShortDelay (see Table 3.65). If register linShortDelay is set to
a value not equal to 0, the TXD line going to and the RXD line coming from the LIN PHY are observed. When the
TXD line becomes low while the RXD line remains high, the gating block waits for linShortDelay times 4MHz
clock cycles before opening the gate. The gate is closed when either TXD becomes high again or RXD becomes
low (see Figure 3.38). This feature is used to evaluate the SHORT signal only when a dominant value of 0 is
transmitted but the bus remains at its recessive high level as well as to eliminate the delay from the TXD line
through the LIN PHY back to the RXD line.

When the register linShortDelay is set to 0, the gate for the SHORT signal is always open. This means that
the SHORT signal is always passed through the gating block even when the TXD line is high or the RXD line is
low.

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
The gated SHORT signal is applied to a configurable de-bouncing filter. This de-bouncing filter is configured using
register linShortFilter (see Table 3.64), and it observes the gated SHORT signal using the internal 4MHz
clock. When the gated SHORT signal is continuously high for (linShortFilter + 1) clock cycles, the LIN
short interrupt status bit (irqStat[3]) is set, enabling the software running on the MCU to respond to this
situation. The interrupt status bit is cleared on read access to the interrupt status register.
The software can also enable the hardware to protect the TXD line in case of a detected short condition. When
the shortProtEna bit in register linCfg (see Table 3.63) is set to 1 and a short condition is detected by the debouncing filter, an internal flag (detLinShort in Figure 3.37) is set to the high level, which forces the LIN TXD
line high. The status of the internal flag is mirrored in SSW[3]. The internal flag remains high until it is explicitly
cleared by the software by writing a value of 1 to the clrLinShort bit in register linCfg.
3.9.4.
LIN Testing
The LIN TXD line protection features (TXD timeout, LIN short, low-power (LP) state) might restrict the possibility
of testing the LIN PHY. Therefore the protection can be disabled (see Figure 3.7) by setting the txdProtDis bit
in register linCfg to 1.
Important Warning: This must never be done during normal operation (the IC will not be damaged, but communication errors are not detected).

There is a 32x8 bit OTP integrated in the SBC that contains the required trimming data as well as the traceability
information. The default (erased) state of the OTP cells is 0. Because some of the programmed trim bits are
critical for operation, such as the voltage trim bits, redundancy is implemented for the lower quarter of the OTP
memory. This part of the OTP contains only up to four bits of information that are programmed to bits [3:0] as well
as to bits [7:4]. During the download procedure, the correct content is determined by combining bit 0 and bit 4, bit
1 and bit 5, bit 2 and bit 6, and bit 3 and bit 7 via an OR gate.

ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
After reset of the SBC, the OTP download procedure is automatically triggered. First, the OTP content is checked
for validity (“bit 0 OR bit 4” must be equal to 1). If the content is not valid, the download procedure is stopped.
Otherwise, the information stored at OTP addresses 01HEX to 18HEX is copied into the corresponding registers.
The download procedure can also be started by the user by writing the value 1 into the otpDownload bit in
register cmdExe (see Table 3.7). Special care must be taken after starting the OTP download procedure as the
system must not go to the power-down state as long as the download procedure is active. The status of the
download procedure is signaled to the user via the SSW bit 0.
In addition to being read by triggering the OTP download procedure that copies the OTP content into the
corresponding registers, the raw contents of the OTP can be read by the user via the SPI interface at SPI
addresses E0HEX to FFHEX. This might be useful for checking the content of the OTP. For the lowest quarter of the
OTP, this is useful for checking that no bit has changed its value. The user might also choose to implement
redundancy for the other values by mirroring the contents into the flash memory on the MCU.
3.11. Miscellaneous Registers
3.11.1.1. Register “pullResEna” – Pull-down Resistor Control Register
Each of the eight internal nodes CSN, SCLK, MOSI, TXD, TRSTN, TCK, TMS, and DBGEN contains a
controllable internal pull-down resistor that is active by default. The pull-down resistors are present to prevent a
floating input pin if the bonding wire gets broken and to enable the system to detect such a broken wire.
Example: If the bonding wire at TXD is broken, the pull-down resistor would drive TXD low continuously and the
LIN TXD timeout detector will trigger and inform the MCU that an error is present.
Directly behind the input pads is a secondary protection stage because VDDP is disabled in some power-down
states. The three SPI inputs to the SBC, which are CSN, SCLK and MOSI, as well as the TXD input, are only
enabled in full-power (FP) state when the MCU is powered and clocked. The DBGEN input is enabled as long as
MCU_RSTN is high (in the FP or LP state) while the three test inputs to the SBC, which are TRSTN, TCK and
TMS, are only enabled when TEST is high.
Note: Because the TEST input pad also contains a pull-down resistor, disabling the pull-down resistors for the
three test input pins is always safe as long as TEST is low.

3.12. Voltage Regulators
In addition to the battery voltage (VBAT), four additional voltage domains are implemented in the ZSSC1956: the
analog voltage VDDA, the digital voltage for low-power mode (VDDL) for the SBC and the RAM of the MCU, the
supply voltage (VDDP) for the I/Os of the SBC and the MCU, and the supply voltage (VDDC) for the core of the
MCU. The regulators are low-dropout regulators (LDO). The VDDL regulator, which is active in the low-power
states, has very low power consumption.

The analog regulator provides a 2.5V output and can drive up to 10mA of load current. The output voltage is
continuously regulated with respect to the bandgap voltage (vbgh). A resistor chain generates the appropriate
voltage for the feedback comparison with the bandgap voltage so that the correct voltage is generated. This
internal regulated voltage serves as a supply voltage for the analog blocks. The analog regulator can be switched
off (e.g., in Sleep Mode).

3.12.3.
VDDL
The VDDL regulator provides the necessary supply voltage for the low-power domain and the digital core (1.8V,
typical). It is permanently connected to the external supply rail and is always switched on until there is enough
voltage on it. The load capabilities depend on the value of the supply voltage as follows:
Table 3.72 VDDL Regulator Load Capabilities
Supply Voltage VDDE
Load Current Capability
VDDE ≥ 3.5V
Load current ≤ 6mA
2.0V ≤ VDDE < 3.5V
Load current ≤ 100µA (guaranteed nominal output voltage)
1.65V ≤ VDDE < 2.0V
Load current ≤ 100µA (guaranteed output voltage above 1.6V)
The regulator supports an IDDQ Test Mode during which its output is fully isolated from the rest of the circuit.
Another supported mode is the Low-Power Mode during which the current consumption of the regulator is
reduced. Additional circuitry is added for over-voltage protection of the output.

Memory Structure
There are two different kinds of physical memory integrated in the MCU: a 96kB flash and an 8kB SRAM block.
The peripherals and the required ROM table are also mapped into the memory space. A default slave replies with
an error response when unused parts of the memory space are accessed. By default, the flash is mirrored to
address 0000 0000HEX. Software can change this and mirror the SRAM to address 0000 0000HEX instead by writing
to the memSwap field in register SYS_MEMPORTCFG (see Table 4.6).

4.2.2.
Flash Memory
There is a 96kB flash memory integrated into the system to store the boot loader, the program code, and logging
data. As the flash memory has some dedicated timings for the control signals when erasing (part of) the flash and
when writing data to the flash, a flash controller is used for flash integration into the system to support all
mandatory operations (read, write, erase) to be performed on the different flash locations and to guarantee the
correct timings for write and erase operations. It is also checked whether the different operations are allowed to
be performed depending on the memory protection scheme.
The flash memory consists of two sections: the MAIN area and the INFO pages. Together these sections
comprise several pages of 512 bytes each. Each page has four rows, and each row contains 32 words. A flash
page is the smallest block that can be erased.
The INFO pages have a total size of 1kB while the size of the MAIN area is 96kB. Each word is protected by ECC
logic with a hamming distance of 4, which enables the system to correct a single-bit error and to detect two-bit
errors within a word. The correct ECC code bits are automatically appended on each write access to the flash.
When a single-bit error within a word is detected during a read access, it is automatically corrected.
The occurrence of bit errors is signaled via dedicated status bits in registers FC_STAT_DATA (see Table 4.18)
and FC_STAT_PROG (see Table 4.17) in the flash controller. The status bits distinguish between an erased flash
word (all1 flag), the detection and correction of a single-bit error (1Err flag), and the detection of more than one bit
error (2Err flag), which is uncorrectable.
The two status register sets are distinguished by the type of flash access:


FC_STAT_PROG status bits are used when errors occur during an instruction fetch.
o An instruction fetch to an erased memory location (all1 flag set) or to a memory location with
more than one error (not correctable!) will assert an NMI as the program is corrupted.
o The detection and correction of a single-bit error within a word is signaled via the normal interrupt
®
(ARM interrupt line 0).
FC_STAT_DATA status bits are used when errors occur during a load operation.
o Loads from an erased memory location as well as the detection (and correction) of errors within a
®
word are indicated via the normal interrupt (ARM interrupt line 0).
4.2.2.1. MAIN Area
The MAIN area of the flash is physically located at address 1000 0000HEX and higher. It can also be mirrored to
address 0000 0000HEX by setting the memSwap bit in register SYS_MEMPORTCFG (see Table 4.6) to 0 (default
setting). The flash is split into three sections: BOOT, PROG, and LOG (see Figure 4.1). Each section comprises
multiple flash blocks of 512 bytes. The BOOT and PROG sections must contain at least one flash block. This
partition is only needed for writes when memory protection is active and also for some erase commands.
Note: The flash boundaries can always be extracted from the flash INFO pages or from register SYS_MEMINFO
(see Table 4.7). Note that the last nine address bits are not included in the read value as they are always 0. The
read value can be interpreted as a flash block number.
®
The MAIN area can be read with byte, half-word, and word size. It can always be read by the ARM processor,
but reads via the JTAG interface are blocked when memory protection is active. The different sections have no
influence on read accesses.

MAIN
As writes must only occur to erased memory locations (all1 flag set when read), one of the four erase commands
affecting the MAIN area must be executed before writing to a non-erased memory location. The erase commands
are always started via the flash controller.
To prevent an intruder from erasing only a small amount of flash memory and writing a small program in its place
that could read out the other memory locations, there are some restrictions for the erase commands:



ERASE_MAIN command: This command erases the complete MAIN area. Therefore it can always be
executed no matter whether memory protection is active or not. It takes approximately 16.3ms. After the
execution of this command, writes to all three sections are permitted if memory protection is inactive or as
long as the corresponding allowProg and allowBoot flags in register FC_STAT_CORE are set (see
Table 4.16).
ERASE_PROG command: This command erases the complete PROG section. Therefore it can always be
executed no matter whether memory protection is active or not. It is mandatory that the two boundaries are
setup correctly. As this command erases all flash pages within the PROG section one after the other, the
command execution time is long (approximately 16.3ms per flash page). After the execution of this
command, writes to the PROG section are permitted if memory protection is inactive or as long as the
allowProg flag in register FC_STAT_CORE is set.
ERASE_BOOT_PROG command: This command erases the complete BOOT and PROG sections.
Therefore it can always be executed no matter whether memory protection is active or not. It is mandatory
that the upper boundary (PROG to LOG) is setup correctly (see section 4.2.2.2). As this command erases
all flash pages within both sections one after the other, the command execution time is long (approximately
16.3ms per flash page). After the execution of this command, writes to all three sections are permitted if
memory protection is inactive or as long as the corresponding allowProg and allowBoot flags in
register FC_STAT_CORE are set.

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC

ERASE_MAIN_PAGE: This command erases a single flash page within the MAIN area, which takes
approximately 16.3ms. While this command can always be executed for a flash page in the LOG section, it
is rejected for flash pages in the BOOT or PROG section when memory protection is active. It is mandatory
that the upper boundary (PROG to LOG) is setup correctly.
Note: As erase commands erase at least a complete flash page, the user must save the data that must be
retained from the flash page to be erased.
Note: The allow flags will be cleared by writing 1 to the clrAllow bit of register FC_STAT_CORE or by a reset.
The MAIN area can only be written with word size as the ECC code is word-based. Writing one word requires
approximately 72µs. There are two ways of writing into the MAIN area: direct write or executing the WRITE
®
command by the flash controller. Direct writes can always be performed by the ARM processor or via the JTAG
interface when the memory protection is inactive. When memory protection is active, no direct write is possible via
®
the JTAG interface. In that case, the ARM processor can only perform a direct write to the LOG section while
direct writes to the BOOT or PROG section are rejected if the corresponding allowProg and allowBoot flags
in register FC_STAT_CORE are not set.
®
The WRITE command can always be executed by the ARM processor or via the JTAG interface, but the
command is rejected if the write would be performed to the BOOT or PROG section when memory protection is
active and the corresponding allowProg and allowBoot flags in register FC_STAT_CORE are not set.
4.2.2.2. INFO Pages
The INFO pages are mapped into the system address space ranging from 4000 0C00HEX to 4000 0FFFHEX. No
memory location in the INFO pages can be directly written.
The first page (lower half) contains traceability information as well as a copy of the OTP contents of the SBC. This
page is only readable and cannot be accessed indirectly by the flash controller (no write, no erase).

offset 300HEX to 3FFHEX) can only be read when memory protection is inactive. The different fields can only be
modified by different flash controller commands.

When address 20CHEX is set to 0000 0000HEX the key-based lock is active, and when address 208HEX is set to
0000 0000HEX, the permanent lock is active. A permanent lock has a higher priority than the key-based lock. The
addresses 200HEX to 208HEX are also interpreted as a counter for failed attempts to unlock the key-based lock.
Each time an unlock command fails, one of these values is set to 0 HEX causing the permanent lock to be activated
after the third failure.
The word at address 210HEX contains the three boundaries. The lowest byte of this word contains the flash page
number of the first flash page of the PROG section. The second byte of this word contains the flash page number
of the first flash page of the LOG section while the highest two bytes of this word contain the RAM word address
(without the last two 0’s) where the accessible RAM space starts. The complete RAM is always accessible by the
®
ARM processor no matter whether memory protection is active or not. The lower part of the RAM (below the
RAM word address) can only be accessed via the JTAG interface when memory protection is not active. Placing
critical elements such as the stack in the RAM part below this RAM word address is recommended to protect the
system against intrusion. The upper part of the RAM (starting with the RAM word address) is always accessible
via the JTAG interface and can be used for programming the flash using the WRITE command.

RAM Memory
There is 8kB of SRAM memory integrated into the system. The SRAM is physically located at addresses
2000 0000HEX and higher. It can be accessed (read and write) with byte, half-word, and word size. The SRAM can
also be mirrored to address 0000 0000HEX by setting the memSwap bit in the register SYS_MEMPORTCFG to 1
(see Table 4.6).
®
The complete RAM is always accessible by the ARM processor, but there are restrictions for RAM access via the
JTAG interface. From the JTAG perspective, the RAM is split into two sections with a configurable boundary
(ramSplit address). The ramSplit address is word-aligned and stored in the flash (see Figure 4.2). The upper
section starting with address ramSplit can always be accessed via JTAG and can be used for flash
reprogramming or to remove the key-based memory protection. The lower section can only be accessed via
JTAG when no memory protection is active. The stack used by software will be placed into the lower section to
prevent an intruder from corrupting the stack.

4.2.5.
Memory Protection
Memory protection can be activated via dedicated commands of the flash controller to protect the software stored
in the flash. Two different types of memory protection are implemented: a key-based lock and a permanent lock.
Both restrict the access possibilities in the same manner, but the key-based lock can be removed by an unlock
procedure re-allowing access to the memory again. The user has three attempts to unlock the flash when the keybased lock is active; after the third failed attempt, the flash is locked permanently. It is also possible to unlock the
flash from both types of memory protection by erasing the complete PROG section and then erasing the upper
INFO page.
When memory protection is active:
 The lower section of RAM cannot be accessed via JTAG interface. The upper section starting at the
ramSplit address is still accessible via JTAG for reprogramming the flash after erasing it or to unlock the
key-based lock.
 The complete flash MAIN area cannot be accessed via JTAG interface.
®
 Direct writes by the ARM processor to the BOOT and PROG sections are rejected when corresponding
allow flags are not set (by a previous erase command).
 All JTAG accesses to the PPB area (system address space from E000 0000HEX to EFFF FFFFHEX) except to
the DHCSR (Debug Halting Control and Status Register) at address E000 EDF0HEX) (refer to the ZMDI
ARM® Cortex™ M0 User Guide) are rejected.
 For JTAG writes to DHCSR, data bit 2 (STEP) is forced to 0 to avoid debug stepping.
 The flash controller commands that are allowed to be executed are restricted.
The type of memory protection as well as the number of failed unlock attempts can be read from register
SYS_MEMINFO in the system management unit (SMU), which is always the reference as there might be an
inconsistency between this register and the contents of the flash INFO page after successful execution of an
UNLOCK_CMD (see Table 4.9).
4.3.
System Management Unit
The system management unit (SMU) generates all internal clocks and resets. It also provides some support for
the different power-down modes controlled by the SBC and contains some registers for system configuration.
4.3.1.
Resets
There are five different reset sources in the system:





External reset provided via the MCU_RSTN internal node generated by the SBC.
External JTAG reset provided via the TRSTN pin.
®
System reset request generated in the ARM core by writing to register AIRCR (refer to the ZMDI ARM®
®
Cortex™ M0 User Guide). This register is always accessible by the ARM processor itself, but it can only
be accessed via JTAG if the memory protection is not active.
JTAG reset request generated in the SMU by writing to register SYS_RSTSTAT (see Table 4.8) in the
®
SMU. This reset can always be generated via the JTAG interface. It cannot be generated by the ARM
processor itself.
®
System lockup. This reset can only occur when the ARM processor detects a lockup and has previously
enabled this reset source (disabled by default) by writing to register SYS_RSTSTAT.
The external reset via the MCU_RSTN pad resets all logic except the JTAG state machine, which is reset by the
external JTAG reset only.

Register SYS_MEMINFO (see Table 4.7)
The memSwap bit of register SYS_MEMPORTCFG (see Table 4.6)
The four reset status bits within register SYS_RSTSTAT (see Table 4.8)
Clocks
The system has two different clock sources:


Internal clock provided via the MCU_CLK pad generated by the SBC (typically 20MHz)
External JTAG clock provided via the TCK pin
The TCK clock is only used for the JTAG access point. The rest of the MCU is clocked by a divided clock derived
from MCU_CLK. By default, MCU_CLK is divided by 1, but a divide value of 2, 4, and 8 can be configured via the
bit field clkDiv in register SYS_CLKCFG (see Table 4.5) causing the system to run at 10, 5, or 2.5 MHz respectively. While most of the system is clocked during normal operating mode, the clock for ZSYSTEM2 is disabled by
default and must be enabled before any access to ZSYSTEM2 takes place. To enable the clock for ZSYSTEM2,
set the enSclk2 bit to 1 in register SYS_CLKCFG (see Table 4.5).
Important: Do not access ZSYSTEM2 when its clock is disabled.

Important Warning: Special care must be taken if changing the clock divider as the operation of several parts of
the system depends on the clock frequency.
Do not change the clkDiv value when any of these conditions exist:

Any flash command is executed by the flash controller. Otherwise the flash can be destroyed. Wait until
command execution has finished.

ahbLIN is active as the inactivity timer, and the Break Sync Detector depends on the clock frequency.
When ahbLIN is transmitting, wait until the transmission has completed. The ahbLIN can be placed into a
safe state for changing the clock divider value by changing these bits in the Z1_LINCFG register: write 0
to the enToCnt field and write 1 to the stopRx and disableRx fields (see Table 4.32).

Any operation relying on the 10ms reference of the SYST_CALIB register of the ARM core is active (see
the ZMDI ARM® Cortex™ M0 User Guide). These operations must be stopped first.


The USART or I C™ module in ZSYSTEM2 is enabled as their baud rates depend on the clock frequency. These modules must be disabled first.

Any slave connected to the SPI in ZSYSTEM2 requires a constant SPI frequency. In this case, an active
SPI transfer must finish first. The SBC does not need a constant frequency on its SPI. Therefore the
SPIB8 must only be stopped when changing the clock divider value would cause a SPI frequency higher
than 5MHz.

Power Modes
There are three power modes within the MCU: the Normal Mode equal to the MCU-ON state on the system level
(see section 2.4), the Sleep Mode equal to the MCU-SLP state on the system level, and the DeepSleep Mode. In
®
Normal Mode, the ARM core and the peripherals are clocked and software is executed. This state is entered
®
after power-up or when the system wakes up. The other two modes are distinguished by an ARM internal
register, the system control register (SCR), and its SLEEPDEEP bit, which is controlled by software. Both sleep
modes are entered by the WFI (wait for interrupt) instruction.
If the SLEEPDEEP bit is not set on executing of a WFI instruction, the Sleep Mode is entered. In Sleep Mode, the
®
®
clock for the ARM core is stopped, but the peripherals remain clocked to be able to wake up the ARM core if an
®
interrupt occurs and this interrupt is enabled. If an enabled interrupt occurs, the clock for the ARM core is reenabled and the system continues in Normal Mode at the position where it was stopped.
Important Warning: Do not enter Sleep Mode after sending a “power-down” command to the SBC. When the
SBC enters one of its power-down states (LP, ULP or OFF), at least the MCU_CLK is stopped on SBC side. This
can cause peripherals to stop in an unsafe state, which can cause damage to the system. The Sleep Mode must
only be entered when the SBC remains in its FP state.
Note: When an interrupt source is disabled, it cannot wake up the system.
If the SLEEPDEEP bit is set on executing of a WFI instruction, the DeepSleep Mode is entered on the MCU.
When the WFI instruction is executed without sending a power-down command to the SBC in advance, the SBC
remains in its FP state. In this case, the MCU_CLK is only gated at the MCU input while the SBC continues its
generation. This combination of power states (SBC in FP state, MCU in DeepSleep Mode) is called the MCUDEEP state on the system level. In the MCU-DEEP state, the MCU can only wake up by an active SBC interrupt.
It is mandatory that a source in the SBC is enabled to generate the interrupt and that the SBC interrupt is enabled
in the MCU.
When the WFI instruction is executed after sending a power-down command to the SBC, the CSN line of the SPI
connecting to the SBC will be released safely by the WFI instruction. This release of CSN triggers the SBC to
enter the configured power-down state. The CSN line must not be directly released by software as the MCU might
be in an intermediate state when the MCU_CLK clock and/or power are switched off on the SBC side.

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
There are three wake-up scenarios from the MCU’s DeepSleep Mode after a power-down command has been
sent to the SBC:
1. When SBC enters its ULP or OFF state (same power-down state on the system level), it stops the
generation of the MCU_CLK clock and disables the power for the pads and MCU core (VDDP and
VDDC); however, the RAM remains powered (VDDL). To protect the RAM contents from being corrupted
during that time, the MCU input RAM_PROTN is driven low by the SBC, which places all RAM inputs into
a safe state. When the MCU wakes up, the SBC re-enables all power supplies and the MCU clock and
generates a reset via the MCU_RSTN pad. After the reset is released, the MCU starts again as after
power-up.
2. When the SBC enters its LP state, it only stops the generation of the clock MCU_CLK but the MCU
remains fully powered. When the MCU wakes up, the SBC re-enables the clock and asserts the interrupt
line IRQN. Because the MCU is not reset, it restarts where it was stopped or enters the interrupt service
®
routine. It is important that the ARM core has enabled the SBC interrupt for correct wakeup as it has
stopped its internal clock when entering its DeepSleep Mode.
3. When the SBC receives a power-down command when it has already detected an interrupt, it does not
enter the desired power-down state. It stays in its FP state but asserts the interrupt line IRQN. It is
important that the MCU has enabled the SBC interrupt for the correct wakeup as it has stopped its
internal clock when entering its DeepSleep Mode.
Important Warning: Always enable the SBC interrupt in the NVIC before going to Sleep Mode or DeepSleep
Mode as the SBC rejects the power-down commands when it has an active interrupt. Otherwise the system can
hang up.
Important Warning: Do not enter DeepSleep Mode when any flash command is active. Otherwise the flash could
be destroyed.
2
Important: Stop the ahbLIN, USART and I C™ to prevent incorrect behavior after wakeup from the LP state or
when the SBC rejects the power-down command due to an active interrupt.
4.3.4.
Pin Configuration
While all the pins from/to the SBC have a fixed behavior, the functionality of the GPIO pads can be changed by
software.
Recommendation: The MCU has 16 GPIOs, but only 5 of them are bonded: GPIO0, GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3,
GPIO4. Keeping the unbonded GPIO pads switched as inputs is recommended.
By default, all GPIO pads operate as pure GPIOs switched as inputs and configured with open-drain output driver
functionality. The GPIO pins require an external pull-up resistor if they will operate as open-drain outputs.

The following bit fields in register SYS_MEMPORTCFG (see Table 4.6) can be used to change the behavior and
functionality of the GPIO pads:

ppNod: This 16-bit register field is used to individually select the output driver behavior of each GPIO
pad. Each GPIO can be configured to operate as push-pull or open-drain (default). This configured output
driver behavior is also used when one of the peripheral modules of ZSYSTEM2 is mapped on the
corresponding GPIO pad with the following exceptions:
2
o The SCL line of I C™ always operates as open-drain independent of the ppNod setting.
2
o The SDA line of I C™ always operates as open-drain independent of the ppNod setting.
o The RXD line of USART always operates as open-drain independent of the ppNod setting.

spiCfg: This 2-bit register field is used to connect the SPI of ZSYSTEM2 to the GPIO pads.
o
o
o

The lower bit of this 2-bit register field is used to enable the connections between the GPIO pads
and the SPI of ZSYSTEM2. When enabled, the GPIO functionality is not available.
The upper bit is used to distinguish between two GPIO pad sets to which the SPI lines are
connected when the connections are enabled by the lower bit:
 Mapping when the upper bit is 0:
 CSN
GPIO[0]
 MOSI
GPIO[1]
 MISO
GPIO[2]
 SCLK GPIO[3]
 Mapping when upper bit is 1 (do not use this setting as these GPIO pads are not
bonded):
 CSN
GPIO[9]
 MOSI
GPIO[10]
 MISO
GPIO[11]
 SCLK GPIO[12]
The output behavior of the three SPI output lines (SCLK, CSN, MOSI) are determined by the
settings of the ppNod field.
usartCfg: This 3-bit register field is used to connect the USART of ZSYSTEM2 to the GPIO pads.
o
o
The lowest bit of this 3-bit register field is used to enable the connections between the GPIO pads
and the USART of ZSYSTEM2. When enabled, the GPIO functionality is not available.
The upper two bits are used to select between four GPIO pad sets to which the USART pins are
connected when the connections are enabled by the lowest bit in usartCfg:
 Mapping when the upper two bits are 00BIN (only the TXD line is usable as the GPIO[8]
pad is not bonded):
 TXD
GPIO[4]
 RXD
GPIO[8]
 Mapping when the upper two bits are 01BIN:
 TXD

linTest: This 1-bit register field is used to provide a direct connection between the GPIO pads and the
TXD and RXD pads connected to the SBC. This must be used for the LIN conformance test where direct
access to the LIN-PHY is needed.
o TXD line is connected to GPIO[4] pin for direct control.
o RXD line is connected to GPIO[2] pin for direct observation.
Note: GPIO functionality is only available when no other interface is mapped onto the specific GPIO pad.

Example: As can be seen from the above mapping, the MOSI line of the SPI within ZSYSTEM2 can be mapped
to pad GPIO[1] or to the unbonded pad GPIO[10]. For simplification, the other mapping possibilities are not
considered for this example. To enable the connection for the SPI, the spiCfg[0] bit in register
SYS_MEMPORTCFG must be set to 1; otherwise both GPIO pads would be driven by the corresponding
registers from the GPIO module. spiCfg[1] is used to select the GPIO pad where MOSI will be connected. The
other GPIO pad remains connected to the GPIO module.

Description
Flash Controller
The flash controller handles all accesses to the different flash locations (INFO pages; MAIN area). It takes care of
the memory protection by rejecting illegal accesses; it provides different types of commands for modifying the
flash content; it guarantees all required timings for the different accesses; and it appends and checks the ECC
code for robustness of the flash content. It also contains a set of registers that are needed for command
execution, which reflect the status of the flash controller and the flash and that enable the different interrupt
®
sources to drive the interrupt line. The interrupt is active-high and is connected to ARM interrupt 0. Additionally,
®
there are two non-maskable interrupt sources that are connected to the NMI of the ARM core.
Read accesses: The flash MAIN area containing the BOOT, PROG, and LOG section can always be read by the
®
ARM processor while it can only be read via JTAG when no memory protection (key-based or permanent lock) is
active (register SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 0) to prevent unauthorized reading of the program. The lower three
®
quarters of the flash INFO pages and all flash controller registers can always be read by the ARM processor or
via JTAG. The upper quarter of the flash INFO pages containing the key for the key-based lock is only readable
when no memory protection is active. All read accesses can be performed with byte, half-word, and word size.
Direct write accesses: The INFO pages cannot be directly written, while the registers are always writable by the
®
ARM processor and via JTAG. Writes to the registers can be performed with byte, half-word, and word size.
®
When no memory protection is active, the complete MAIN area can be written directly by the ARM core or via
JTAG, but it is the responsibility of the user that only erased memory locations are written. When memory
®
protection is active, only writes to the LOG section performed by the ARM processor are possible. All other
writes to the MAIN area (other section or via JTAG) are rejected. All writes to the MAIN area can only be
performed with word size.
Commands: Several commands are implemented for erase and write operations as well as to configure the
system (memory boundaries and protection). These commands can always be configured and started by the
®
ARM processor or via JTAG, but under certain conditions their execution is rejected.
Read status information: There are two registers, FC_STAT_PROG (see Table 4.17) and FC_STAT_DATA
(see Table 4.18), for signaling that an error occurred when reading the flash (INFO pages or MAIN area) and for
®
indicating whether the error occurred during an instruction fetch by the ARM processor (FC_STAT_PROG is
®
used) or during a load operation by the ARM processor or via JTAG.

Three different types of error are signaled:
 The occurrence of a single error within a word that was corrected by the ECC logic is signaled via flags
prog1Err in FC_STAT_PROG or data1Err in FC_STAT_DATA. Both flags are cleared on read access
to the corresponding register and can be enabled via register FC_IRQ_EN (see Table 4.15) to drive the
normal interrupt line.
 When an empty memory location is read, the flags progAll1 in FC_STAT_PROG or dataAll1 in
FC_STAT_DATA is set. Both flags are cleared on read access to the corresponding register. While the
dataAll1 flag can be enabled via register FC_IRQ_EN to drive the normal interrupt line (this flag is
useful to determine an empty memory location for a write operation to flash), the progAll1 generates a
non-maskable interrupt (NMI) as this situation is a severe problem for software execution.
 The occurrence of more than one error within a word that is not correctable by the ECC logic is signaled
via flags prog2Err in FC_STAT_PROG or data2Err in FC_STAT_DATA. Both flags are cleared on
read access to the corresponding register. While the data2Err flag can be enabled via register
FC_IRQ_EN to drive the normal interrupt line, the prog2Err generates a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
as this situation is a severe problem for software execution.
In addition to the error flags, the address of the error position is stored. When consecutive errors occur, the
address of the first error is kept until the status register is read. When different types of error occurred (only one of
the three flags is set at a time), it cannot be determined from the read status value to which type of error the
address belongs. It is also not visible when several errors of the same type occurred.
Command status information: The FC_STAT_CORE register (see Table 4.16) contains eight different status
flags about the command execution and the access rights to different memory locations when the protection is
active. Four of them are cleared on read access and can be enabled via register FC_IRQ_EN to drive the normal
interrupt line. The three “allow” flags are read-only. To clear them for reactivation of the memory protection, a 1
must be written to the bit clrAllow. If the “allow” flags are not cleared, it is possible to read out the software.
4.4.1.
Commands
®
All commands can be started by the ARM processor or via the JTAG interface. Their execution is only restricted
by the activated memory protection stored within the SMU. The write sequence for setting up the command can
be in any order except that the write to register EXE_CMD (see Table 4.14) must be the last step.

4.4.1.2. ERASE_MAIN_CMD – Erasing the Complete Main Area
This command erases the complete MAIN area of the flash. It can always be executed independently of the lock
state (no lock active / key-based lock active / permanent lock active). For command execution, the settings of
registers FC_RAM_ADDR and FC_FLASH_ADDR as well as the bit field wrSize of register FC_CMD_SIZE have
no meaning. Only the ERASE_MAIN_CMD must be programmed into bit field cmd of register FC_CMD_SIZE
(see Table 4.13). Then the command execution must be started by writing 1 to bit field exeCmd of register
FC_EXE_CMD (see Table 4.14).
When the command is started, the bit coreActive (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set (see Table 4.16). As long as the
command is active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write) as well as writes to all registers of the flash
controller are postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to
the registers of the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command
execution. When the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the bit
cmdRdy (FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. The three flags allowKey, allowBoot and
allowProg are also set as the BOOT and PROG sections are now empty. Therefore it is possible to remove the
unneeded memory protection by erasing the upper INFO page using ERASE_KEY_CMD and to write new
software into the BOOT and PROG sections.
Note: The execution time is approximately 16.3ms.
®
Note: This command can always be executed via JTAG interface. As the program that the ARM
executing might be located in the flash, it is strongly recommended that the following sequence is used:



core is
®
The ARM core first halts the processor via the DHCSR register.
Then it erases and reprograms the flash.
Last, it performs a JTAG reset via the SYS_RSTSTAT register in the SMU (see Table 4.8).
®
®
Note: This command can always be executed by the ARM core. To prevent the ARM core from erasing its own
active program, it is strongly recommended that the software is run entirely from RAM memory.
4.4.1.3. ERASE_BOOT_PROG_CMD – Erasing BOOT and PROG section
This command erases the complete BOOT and PROG section of the flash MAIN area, but the content of the LOG
section remains in the flash. It can always be executed independent of the lock state (no lock active / key-based
lock active / permanent lock active). For command execution, the settings of registers FC_RAM_ADDR and
FC_FLASH_ADDR as well as the bit field wrSize of register FC_CMD_SIZE have no meaning. Only the
ERASE_BOOT_PROG_CMD must be programmed into bit field cmd of register FC_CMD_SIZE. Then the
command execution must be started by writing 1 to bit field exeCmd of register FC_EXE_CMD.

When the command is started, the bit coreActive (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write) as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the bit coreActive (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the bit cmdRdy
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set which is cleared when read. The three flags allowKey, allowBoot, and
allowProg are set as the BOOT and PROG sections are now empty. Therefore it is possible to remove the
unneeded memory protection by erasing the upper INFO page using ERASE_KEY_CMD and to write new
software into the BOOT and PROG sections.
Note: The execution time depends on the number of flash pages contained in the BOOT and PROG sections.
Each flash page to be erased takes approximately 16.3ms.

executing might be located in the flash, it is strongly recommended that the following sequence be used:

®
Note: This command can always be executed by the ARM core. To prevent the ARM core from erasing its own
active program, it is strongly recommended that the software is run completely from RAM memory.
Note: Because this command erases all flash pages from the first page until the page in front of the flash page
logStart, this command must only be used when the boundaries have a meaningful setting (see Table 4.7).
4.4.1.4. ERASE_PROG_CMD – Erasing PROG section
This command erases the complete PROG section of the flash MAIN area, but the content of the BOOT and the
LOG sections remains in the flash memory. It can always be executed independently of the lock state (no lock
active / key-based lock active / permanent lock active). For command execution, the settings of registers
FC_RAM_ADDR and FC_FLASH_ADDR as well as the bit field wrSize of register FC_CMD_SIZE have no
meaning. Only the ERASE_PROG_CMD must be programmed into the bit field cmd of register FC_CMD_SIZE.
Then the command execution must be started by writing 1 to bit field exeCmd of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write) as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the bit coreActive (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. The two flags allowKey and allowProg are also
set as the PROG section is now empty. Therefore the unneeded memory protection can be removed by erasing
the upper INFO page using ERASE_KEY_CMD and writing new software into the PROG sections.
Note: The execution time depends on the number of flash pages contained in PROG section. Each flash page to
be erased takes approximately 16.3ms.

Note: This command can always be executed by the ARM core. To prevent the ARM core from erasing its own
active program, it is strongly recommended that the software is run entirely from RAM memory.
Important: As this command erases all flash pages from the flash page progStart through the page in front of
the flash page logStart, this command must only be used when the boundaries have a meaningful setting
(see Table 4.7).
4.4.1.5. ERASE_MAINPAGE_CMD – Erasing a Single Page in the MAIN Area
This command erases a single page within the flash MAIN area. Its execution depends on the memory protection
and to which section of the MAIN area (BOOT / PROG / LOG) the page to be erased belongs. When no lock is
active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 00BIN), the selected flash page will be erased independent of its location. If any
lock is active, the page will only be erased if it is located within the LOG section. Otherwise, the command is
rejected.
For command execution, the settings of register FC_RAM_ADDR, as well as the wrSize bit field of register
FC_CMD_SIZE, have no meaning. The register FC_FLASH_ADDR (see Table 4.12) is used to select the flash
page to be erased. The value to be programmed must be calculated by shifting the flash address pointing to any
location in the desired page two bits to the right. The ERASE_MAINPAGE_CMD must be programmed into the
cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE. Then the command execution must be started by writing 1 to the exeCmd
bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write) as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because a page
within BOOT or PROG section was selected while the memory protection is active, the invalidArea bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[2]) is also set.
Note: The execution time is approximately 16.3ms if the command is not rejected.
Warning: This command is intended for erasing a page in the LOG section. Special care must be taken for
erasing a page within the BOOT or PROG section as software might become inconsistent.
Note: Because this command distinguishes between the LOG section on one side and the BOOT and PROG
section on the other if memory protection is active using the setting of logStart, this command must only be
used if the boundaries have a meaningful setting in this case.

4.4.1.6. ERASE_KEY_CMD – Erasing the Upper INFO Page
This command erases the upper INFO page, which contains the lock information, the memory boundaries, and
the key to be used for the key-based lock. It is only executed when no lock is active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] ==
00BIN) or when the allowKey flag (FC_STAT_CORE[5]) is set. Otherwise, the command is rejected. For
command execution, the settings of registers FC_RAM_ADDR and FC_FLASH_ADDR, as well as the wrSize
bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE, have no meaning. Only the ERASE_KEY_CMD must be programmed into the
cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE. After that, the command execution must be started by writing 1 to the
exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write), as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller, are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because the
allowKey flag was not set but the memory protection is active, the invalidCmd bit (FC_STAT_CORE[1]) is
also set. If the command was not rejected, all three boundary fields within register SYS_MEMINFO (bits [26:0]) in
the SMU are set to all 1s and the protInfo bit field is set to all 0s at end of the command execution.
Note: The execution time is approximately 16.3ms if the command is not rejected.
Note: The register SYS_MEMINFO is updated at the end of the successful execution of this command.
Important: In addition to the lock and the key information, the boundaries are erased. Therefore the user must
reprogram the boundaries afterward using the SET_BOUNDARY_CMD (see section 4.4.1.8). Boundaries can be
read and stored before command execution from register SYS_MEMINFO.

4.4.1.7. WRITE_CMD – Writing 1 to 32 Words from RAM to Flash
This command copies up to 32 words from RAM into the flash MAIN area. Its execution depends on the memory
protection state, the destination section of the flash, and the “allow” flags set in register FC_STAT_CORE (see
Table 4.16).



If the write will be performed to the BOOT section, the command is only executed when no lock is active
or when the allowBoot flag is set. Otherwise the command is rejected.
If the write will be performed to the PROG section, the command is only executed when no lock is active
or when the “allowProg” flag is set. Otherwise the command is rejected.
If the write will be performed to the LOG section, the command is always executed.
First, the data to be stored into the flash must be written into the RAM. The data must be placed word-aligned into
the RAM with consecutive words to consecutive addresses. The register FC_RAM_ADDR must be written with
the RAM address where the word containing the first word was stored (see Table 4.11). The value to be programmed must be calculated by shifting the RAM address pointing to that location by two bits to the right. Register FC_FLASH_ADDR must be written with the flash address where the first word will be stored (see Table 4.12).
The value to be programmed must be calculated by shifting the flash address pointing to that location by two bits
to the right. Special care must be taken when more than one byte will be written. While there is no restriction on
how the block of words is placed into the RAM (no block alignment), the WRITE_CMD only operates on a single
flash row (one flash page consists of four flash rows; one row consists of 32 words). When a row boundary is
reached during execution of a write command while there is still data to be written present, the flash address
wraps to the beginning of the row.
The register FC_CMD_SIZE must be programmed with the WRITE_CMD to the cmd bit field and the number of
bytes to be written to the wrSize bit field. For wrSize equal to 00001BIN, one word is written; for “wrSize”
equal to 00010BIN, two words are written, and so on. A value of 00000BIN, is interpreted as 32 words, which means
that a complete row must be programmed. After all registers are set appropriately, the command execution must
be started by writing 1 to the exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write), as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller, are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because
the memory protection is active and the corresponding “allow” flag is not set, the invalidArea bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[2]) is also set.
Note: The execution time is approximately (22 + 50 * N)µs where N is the number of words to be programmed.
Note: The value to be programmed into register FC_RAM_ADDR does not contain the last two digits (always 0).
For this, the RAM address must be shifted right by two bits (value = (RAM address >> 2).
Note: The value to be programmed into register FC_FLASH_ADDR does not contain the last two digits (always
0). For this, the flash address must be shifted right by two bits (value = (flash address >> 2).
Note: This command does not erase the locations to be written. Therefore software must ensure that the
locations are empty.

4.4.1.8. SET_BOUNDARY_CMD – Setting the Three Boundaries
This command stores the required memory boundaries ( progStart, logStart, ramSplit) from RAM into
upper INFO page at address 210HEX. It is only executed when no lock is active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 00BIN).
Otherwise, the command is rejected. For command execution, the settings of register FC_FLASH_ADDR, as well
as the bit field wrSize of register FC_CMD_SIZE have no meaning. First, one word containing the three
boundaries must be written into the RAM (word aligned) in the same format as they are stored into the flash or as
they are stored in register SYS_MEMINFO:


The register FC_RAM_ADDR must be written with the RAM address where the word containing the three
boundaries was stored (see Table 4.11). The value to be programmed must be calculated by shifting the RAM
address pointing to that location by two bits to the right. The SET_BOUNDARY_CMD must be programmed into
the cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE (see Table 4.13). After that, the command execution must be started
by writing 1 to the exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write), as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller, are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because the
memory protection is active, the invalidCmd bit (FC_STAT_CORE[1]) is also set. If the command was not
rejected, all three boundary fields within register SYS_MEMINFO in SMU are set to the programmed values at
end of the command execution.
Note: The execution time is approximately 72µs when the command is not rejected.
Note: The value to be programmed into register FC_RAM_ADDR does not contain the last two digits (always 0).
For this, the RAM address must be shifted right by two bits (value = (RAM address >> 2).
Note: This command does not erase the upper INFO page. Therefore software must ensure that the location
where the boundaries are stored is empty. If the location already contains boundary information, the
ERASE_KEY_CMD must be executed in advance.
4.4.1.9. SET_KEY_CMD – Storing the Key for the Key-Based Lock
This command stores the key required for the key-based lock from RAM into the upper INFO page at address
300HEX and following. It is only executed when no lock is active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 00BIN). Otherwise, the
command is rejected. For command execution, the settings of register FC_FLASH_ADDR, as well as the
wrSize bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE, have no meaning. First, the key must be stored into the RAM using
the format shown in Table 4.10. The key has a selectable length of 1 to 32 bytes. The key length is contained in
the first key word. For a key length of 1, the key consists of key word 0 only; for a key length of 2, the key consists
of key word 0 and key word 1, and so on. A key length of 0 is interpreted as 32, which means that N is 31.

that location by two bits to the right. The SET_KEY_CMD must be programmed into the cmd bit field of register
FC_CMD_SIZE. Next, the command execution must be started by writing 1 to the exeCmd bit field of register
FC_EXE_CMD.

When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write) as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the bit cmdRdy
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because the
memory protection is active, the invalidCmd bit (FC_STAT_CORE[1]) is also set.
Note: Storing the key does not activate the key-based lock. For activation, the LOCK_KEY_CMD must be
executed (see section 4.4.1.11).
Note: After the key is stored but before the lock is activated, it is possible to read the key from the upper INFO
page. This might be needed to check that the programming was correct.
Note: The execution time depends on the number of key words. Approximately 72µs is needed for each key word
to be stored.
Note: The value to be programmed into register FC_RAM_ADDR does not contain the last two digits (always 0).
For this, the RAM address must be shifted right by two bits (value = (RAM address >> 2).
Note: This command does not erase the upper INFO page. Therefore software must ensure that the locations
where the key words are stored are empty. If the locations already contain a key, the ERASE_KEY_CMD must be
executed in advance.
4.4.1.10. LOCK_PERM_CMD – Activation of Permanent Lock
This command stores the value 0000 0000HEX at address 208HEX in the upper INFO page, which activates the
permanent lock. It is only executed when no lock is active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 00BIN). Otherwise, the
command is rejected. For command execution, the settings of registers FC_RAM_ADDR and FC_FLASH_ADDR
as well as the wrSize bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE have no meaning. Only the LOCK_PERM_CMD must
be programmed into the cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE. After that, the command execution must be
started by writing 1 to the exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write), as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller, are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because the
memory protection is active, the invalidCmd bit (FC_STAT_CORE[1]) is also set. If the command was not
rejected, the permanent lock bit (SYS_MEMINFO[29]) in the SMU is set to 1 at end of the command execution.
Note: The execution time is approximately 72µs if the command is not rejected.
Note: Make sure that the boundaries have been stored before execution of this command as they cannot be
programmed afterward.
Note: This lock can only be removed by first executing an appropriate erase command (ERASE_MAIN_CMD,
ERASE_BOOT_PROG_CMD, ERASE_PROG_CMD), which guarantees that the program section is empty, and
then executing the ERASE_KEY_CMD (see section 4.4.1.6).

Note: Reprogramming is possible by first executing an appropriate erase command (ERASE_MAIN_CMD,
ERASE_BOOT_PROG_CMD, ERASE_PROG_CMD) to get a temporary access due to set “allow” flags and then
performing the correct amount of WRITE_CMD commands. After a reset is applied or the “allow” flags are
cleared, the permanent lock is reactivated.
4.4.1.11. LOCK_KEY_CMD – Activation of Key-based Lock
This command stores the value 0000 0000HEX at address 20CHEX within the upper INFO page, which activates the
key-based lock. It is only executed when no lock is active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 00BIN). Otherwise, the
command is rejected. For command execution, the settings of registers FC_RAM_ADDR and FC_FLASH_ADDR
as well as the wrSize bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE have no meaning. Only the LOCK_KEY_CMD must be
programmed into the cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE. After that, the command execution must be started
by writing 1 to the exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write), as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller, are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because the
memory protection is active, the invalidCmd bit (FC_STAT_CORE[1]) is also set. If the command was not
rejected, the key-based lock bit (SYS_MEMINFO[28]) in the SMU is set to 1 at the end of the command
execution.
Note: The execution time is approximately 72µs if the command is not rejected.
Important: Ensure that the boundaries and the key have been stored before execution of this command as they
cannot be programmed afterward.
Note: This lock can be removed by first executing an appropriate erase command (ERASE_MAIN_CMD,
ERASE_BOOT_PROG_CMD, ERASE_PROG_CMD), which guarantees that the program section is empty, and
then executing the ERASE_KEY_CMD (see section 4.4.1.6). It can also be removed by successful execution of
the UNLOCK command (section 4.4.1.12). This is used to get access to the software as no erase is performed.
Note: Reprogramming is possible by first executing an appropriate erase command (ERASE_MAIN_CMD,
ERASE_BOOT_PROG_CMD, ERASE_PROG_CMD) to get a temporary access to set “allow” flags and then
performing the required WRITE_CMD commands. After a reset is applied or the “allow” flags are cleared, the keybased lock is reactivated.

4.4.1.12. UNLOCK_CMD – Deactivation of the Key-Based Lock
This command is used to temporarily deactivate the key-based lock to get access to the BOOT and PROG
section. It is only executed when the key-based lock is active (SYS_MEMINFO[29:28] == 01BIN). Otherwise, the
command is rejected. For command execution, the settings of register FC_FLASH_ADDR, as well as the
wrSize bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE, have no meaning. First, the key must be stored in the RAM in the
same manner as for programming the key using the format shown in Table 4.10. The register FC_RAM_ADDR
must be written with the RAM address where the key word 0 was stored. The value to be programmed must be
calculated by shifting the RAM address pointing to that location by two bits to the right. The UNLOCK_CMD must
be programmed into the cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE. Next, the command execution must be started
by writing 1 to the exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write) as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller are
postponed. When the software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers
of the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution.
When the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read. If the command execution was rejected because no lock
or the permanent lock is active, the bit invalidCmd (FC_STAT_CORE[1]) is also set. If the unlock procedure
failed due to a wrong key, the unlockFail bit (FC_STAT_CORE[3]) is set, the failure counter
(SYS_MEMINFO[31:30]) is incremented, and, if it was the third failure, the permanent lock is activated
(SYS_MEMINFO[29] set to 1). If the unlock procedure was successful, the key-based lock is deactivated
(SYS_MEMINFO[28] set to 0).
Important: Although the protection is removed in register SYS_MEMINFO, the protection remains in the upper
flash INFO page causing a temporary inconsistency between the register settings and the flash content. To
permanently remove the lock after the successful execution, an ERASE_KEY_CMD must be executed afterward
(see section 4.4.1.6). Otherwise the key-based lock will be reactivated after a reset is applied or a GETENV_CMD
is executed.
4.4.1.13. GETENV_CMD – Restoring Memory Protection
This command restores the memory protection and boundary information from the upper flash INFO page into the
register SYS_MEMINFO in the SMU. Although it can always be executed independent of the lock state, it is only
required to be performed after the successful execution of the UNLOCK_CMD when the lock will be reactivated.
For command execution, the settings of registers FC_RAM_ADDR and FC_FLASH_ADDR, as well as the
wrSize bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE, have no meaning. Only the GETENV_CMD must be programmed
into the cmd bit field of register FC_CMD_SIZE. Next, the command execution must be started by writing 1 to the
exeCmd bit field of register FC_EXE_CMD.
When the command is started, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is set. As long as the command is
active, all direct accesses to the flash (read and write), as well as writes to all registers of the flash controller, are
postponed. When software is running from RAM, the system is still able to run. Read accesses to the registers of
the flash controller are allowed while the command is active to check the status of the command execution. When
the command has finished, the coreActive bit (FC_STAT_CORE[4]) is cleared and the cmdRdy bit
(FC_STAT_CORE[0]) is set, which is cleared when read.

GPIO
There are 16 GPIO pads (GPIO00 to GPIO15) implemented in the MCU, but only the lower five (GPIO00 –
GPIO04) are bonded out of the package. The unbonded GPIO pads contain a pull-up resistor in their pad and
must never be used (must be kept in their default state as input). The bonded GPIO pads contain pull-down
resistors.
Note: Do not use unbonded GPIO pads. Keep them in their reset state where they are configured as inputs.
Each GPIO pad can be individually configured to operate as an input or output. When configured as an output,
the value driven out of the GPIO pad can be directly written or controlled via a set-clear register. Additionally,
each GPIO can be enabled to be used as a trigger source for the 32-bit timer or it can be used as an interrupt
source with a selectable edge.
Note: Each register in the GPIO module can be accessed on byte, half-word and word size.

4.5.1.
Normal Functionality
When a GPIO pad should be used as a simple input or output, registers GPIO_DIR, GPIO_IN, GPIO_OUT and
GPIO_SETCLR are needed. Register GPIO_DIR is used to select the direction of the GPIO pad (see Table 4.19).
By default, the GPIO pad is configured as an input pad. The synchronized value from that pad can be read by
reading register GPIO_IN (see Table 4.20). The values from those GPIO pads that are configured as outputs or
which have other functionality will be ignored.
The value driven out of a GPIO pad that is configured as an output can be set by writing to register GPIO_OUT
(see Table 4.21). The initial value can already be written before switching the direction from input to output.
Instead of writing all output values in each access, it is also possible to set and clear dedicated output values by
using the register GPIO_SETCLR (see Table 4.22). This functionality avoids needing to read and modify the
GPIO_OUT register when only some bits need to be changed.
Note: In addition to the internal configuration, the settings of register SYS_MEMPORTCFG (see Table 4.6) in the
SMU module must be taken into account. This register is used to configure the output type (push-pull or opendrain (default)) and to map sub-modules of the ZSYSTEM2 module onto GPIO pads. When the latter is true,
normal GPIO functionality is not available.
4.5.2.
Trigger Functionality
Each GPIO pad can be used as an external trigger source for the 32-bit timer (see section 4.6). To enable the
trigger functionality, the GPIO pad must be configured as an input and the trigger functionality must be enabled
via register GPIO_TRIGEN (see Table 4.26). It is possible to enable several GPIO pads as external trigger
sources; however it is not recommended because power consumption slightly increases when trigger functionality
is enabled.
Note: It is not sufficient to enable a GPIO pad as a trigger source. The 32-bit timer must also be configured
appropriately, and the desired GPIO trigger source must be selected via register T32_TRIGSEL (see Table 4.29)
within the 32-bit timer.
4.5.3.
Interrupt Functionality
Each GPIO pad can be used as an external, edge-sensitive interrupt source. To enable the interrupt functionality,
the GPIO pad must be configured as an input and the interrupt functionality must be enabled via register
GPIO_IRQEN. Additionally, it is selectable via register GPIO_IRQEDGE whether a rising or a falling edge on the
GPIO pad activates the interrupt (see Table 4.25).
®
All GPIO pads enabled as external interrupt sources drive one single interrupt line connected to ARM interrupt 5.
The user can determine which GPIO pad caused the interrupt by reading register GPIO_IRQSTAT. All interrupt
status bits are cleared when reading register GPIO_IRQSTAT (see Table 4.23).
Note: As the synchronization flip-flops are only continuously clocked when the trigger or interrupt functionality is
enabled for the corresponding GPIO pad, it might be possible that an unwanted interrupt occurs when enabling
the interrupt functionality. To avoid this, the following sequence must be guaranteed by software:



Enable the GPIO trigger functionality and select the desired interrupt edge to be used.
Enable the GPIO interrupt functionality at least three cycles after enabling as a trigger.
Disable the GPIO trigger functionality (when not needed in parallel).

32-Bit Timer
The timer provides event counting on the rising clock edge with a 32-bit resolution. It is capable of counting clock
events in Timer Mode and counting events from a selectable external trigger signal in Counter Mode. The external
trigger can be configured to operate on the rising or falling edges as well as on the low or high level. Additionally,
it can be selected whether the timer/counter stops when it overflows or continues its operation.
The timer has an interrupt line that is active-high and set high for a single clock cycle whenever the counter
®
overflows. The interrupt line is connected to ARM interrupt 4.
Note: The counter is incremented when enabled.
4.6.1.
Timer Mode
In Timer Mode (bit modeTC in register T32_CTRL == 0), the counter register is incremented in each clock cycle
(see Table 4.28). When the counter reaches FFFF FFFFHEX, the reload value is copied into the counter register
and both the overflow bit and the interrupt line are set high for one clock cycle. When Reload Mode is enabled
(modeSR == 0), the counter continues counting. Otherwise the counter stops. The two other control bits (modeLE
and modePN) have no meaning in this mode.
4.6.2.
Counter Mode
In Counter Mode (bit modeTC in register T32_CTRL == 0), the counter register is incremented in each clock cycle
when the trigger is active. When the counter has a value of FFFF FFFFHEX and the trigger is active, the reload
value is copied into the counter register and both the overflow bit and the interrupt line are set high for one clock
cycle. When Reload Mode is enabled (modeSR == 0), the counter continues counting. Otherwise the counter
stops. The two control bits modeLE and modePN are used to configure the trigger as shown in Table 4.27.

LIN Communication Control Logic (ahbLIN)
Although the LIN PHY is integrated in the SBC (see section 3.9), LIN communication is controlled by the ahbLIN
block (the “LIN UART” block in Figure 2.2) on the MCU side (ahb stands for the Advanced High-performance Bus
widely used on ARM® microcontrollers). The ahbLIN has access to the TXD and RXD lines going to the LIN PHY
on the SBC.
The ahbLIN module is the communication control logic that performs the serial communication interface (SCI)
according the LIN Protocol Specification (Revision 2.2, SAE J2602). The type of the interface is LIN slave.
The LIN communication logic has a modular structure of different independent transceiver processes. The
processes are driven by the synchronized serial data stream linRxD and linTxD and are controlled by the LIN ahb
controller module.

4.7.1.
Functional Description
The "Sync" module synchronizes the incoming serial bit-stream by the ASIC clock. To avoid malfunction due to
spikes on the data stream, glitch suppression is implemented by checking for a minimum pulse width of three
clock cycles.
The basic data receiver of the serial communication interface is the "UART" module with a byte-filled receiver,
triggered by the first falling edge of the start bit and terminated after eight consecutive data bits with the stop bit
data value "1.” The oversampling rate of each data bit is 16, and the bit data is determined by the bit-sample
majority decision of samples 7/16, 8/16 and 9/16.
The "UART" transmitter when triggered by the software allows sending byte fields with the corresponding
programmed baud rate. For LIN protocol requirements, the receiver monitoring function is implemented to check
the consistency of the bidirectional LIN physical line.
The Break Sync detector is used to identify the beginning of a new LIN frame, and it checks the "Sync” byte field
for consistency with the programmed baud rate. The durations of the Break field low phase and Break field
delimiter are measured and can be monitored by the software. Additional software-defined thresholds are used for
successful frame synchronization. The LIN header inter-byte space between the "Sync" byte field and the
Protected Identifier field is measured to evaluate the maximum LIN frame header length.
The "Autobauding" module determines the baud rate on the basis of the first received Break field and Sync field. It
ensures that the first received frame is synchronized and valid for LIN communication. The duration of the Break
field low phase and Break field delimiter is measured and can be monitored by the software. To support a
complete Break Sync field pattern validation, the Sync field’s bit 7 data value and the stop bit data value are
verified.

The "IdleWakeUp" module supports the LIN Protocol Specification 2.2, chapters 2.6.2 WAKE UP and 2.6.3 GO
TO SLEEP. The threshold for the dominant pulse length after a recessive-to-dominant change for the WAKE UP
scenario is defined by a programmable parameter. The inactivity time length for the GO TO SLEEP scenario is
defined by a programmable threshold parameter. This allows significant flexibility for low pulse length and
inactivity time definitions.

SPIB8
Introduction
The SPIB8 module provides a four-wire SPI master module. The three lines SPI_CLK, MOSI and MISO are fully
controlled by hardware while the SSN line must be controlled by software to guarantee the required setup and
hold times. In addition to the AHB-Lite bus interface, this SPI module has an active-high interrupt line and an
additional input to disable the module. This additional input is needed as the rising edge of SSN will execute the
command sent to the SBC. To avoid any problems when the power or system clock is disabled, this input will be
triggered by the PMU and goes to deep sleep (i.e., any power-down mode on the SBC; see section 4.3.3).

4.8.2.
SPI Signal Description
4.8.2.1. SPI Clock (SPI_CLK)
The SPI clock is used to synchronize the data transfer between the master and the selected slave. The SPI clock
is an output of this master and an input to the connected slave (SBC). This module generates the clock if it is
enabled and if data is present to be sent. Otherwise the clock line is kept at the configured polarity level.
4.8.2.2. SPI Slave Select (SSN)
The low-active SPI slave select signal is directly driven by bit [14] of the SPICFG_B8 register (see Table 4.43).
This means that this line is completely under software control. Software must ensure that the required setup and
hold times as well as the required protocol for the SBC are in the defined range.
4.8.2.3. SPI Master Out Slave In (MOSI)
The MOSI pin is used to transfer data from the master to the (selected) slave. Data on this pin is always transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
4.8.2.4. SPI Master In Slave Out (MISO)
The MISO pin is used to transfer data from the slave to the master. Data on this pin is always expected with the
most significant bit (MSB) first. It can be selected by software if the MISO line is sampled at the middle (default) or
the end of a transmitted bit. The latter case is added to relax the timing when a fast SPI clock is selected.
4.8.3.
Functional Description
The SPIB8 master initiates all transfers on the SPI bus. To start a transfer, the module must be enabled (set the
SpiEn bit [15] in the SPICFG_B8 register to 1BIN; see Table 4.43), the slave must be activated (set SSN to 0), and
the required clock behavior must be configured via the CDIV_B8, CPHA_B8 and CPOL_B8 bits in the
SPICLKCFG_B8 register; see Table 4.44). The required interrupt sources must also be enabled. Note that the TX
buffer is empty at the beginning.
When the required setup time for the SSN line has expired, place at least the first byte to be transmitted into the
TX buffer. This also clears the TxNotFull flag bit [2] in the SPISTAT_B8 register. In the next system clock
cycle, this byte is transferred into the shift register, the clock line is driven appropriately, and the TxNotFull flag
(when only one byte was written into the TX buffer) and the busy flag (bit [7] in the SPISTAT_B8 register) are
set. The first byte is shifted out of the MOSI line and the SPI clock is generated as configured.

Simultaneously the MISO line is sampled and shifted in. Normally, the MISO line is sampled in the middle of a
transmitted bit (blue lines in Figure 4.8). Although the MOSI line changes its value at the same time as the SPI
clock, there is a delay regarding the MISO line as first the clock must be driven out of the chip into the connected
slave and then the data must be driven back from the connected slave. To relax the timing, especially for fast SPI
clocks, the SamplePos bit [13] in the SPICLKCFG_B8 register can be configured so that the RX data is sampled
at the end of a transmitted bit (red lines in Figure 4.8). If the complete byte is shifted in and the RX buffer is not
full, the byte is stored into the RX buffer at the byte boundary and the RxNotEmpty flag (bit [1] in the
SPISTAT_B8 register) is set, signaling the end of the byte transfer. In the case that the RX buffer is already full
and no byte is read from RX buffer in the same cycle, the byte currently received is rejected (lost) and the RxOf
flag bit [0] in the SPICFG_B8 register is set.
Because the SPI module operates in a full-duplex mode, a dummy byte must be placed into TX buffer if only a
byte has to be read from the slave.

When the user writes a new byte into TX buffer before the end of the byte transfer, the transfer for the new byte
starts immediately after the actual transfer. This means that the busy flag stays active at the end of the first
transmitted byte.
As it can be possible that the software disables the SPI while a transfer is in progress (not recommended), bytes
could be present inside the TX and/or RX buffer indicated by the values NoTxFree or NoRxBytes (bits [23:20] or
bits [19:16] respectively in register SPISTAT_B8). These bytes can be removed from the buffers by writing a 1 to
the ClrTxBuf bit [31] or ClrRxBuffer bit [30] respectively in the SPISTAT_B8 register.

As noted above, the user can configure the SPI clock frequency via the CDIV bit field. The SPI clock frequency is
calculated using the following equation:
SPI clock frequency = system clock frequency / (2 * (CDIV + 1))

Interrupts and Status Flags
There are eight status flags in this module; seven of them can be enabled to drive the interrupt line. Four of them
correspond to the status of the TX or RX buffer: RxNotEmpty, TxNotFull, RxLvl, and TxLvl. They are
cleared when data is written to or read from the corresponding buffer. The other three flags that can drive the
interrupt line are signaling error conditions: RxOf, WrColl, and RdErr. These three flags are cleared by read
access to the status register. The last status bit, Busy, is a read-only signal which reflects the status of the
module and is fully controlled by hardware. The other flags are controlled by hardware and by software.

This overflow bit is set by hardware when it is unable to store a received byte into RX
buffer (RX buffer is already full). It is cleared by software read access to the status
register. To avoid losing information, the set condition has higher priority than the clear
condition. This bit is not set when a byte in the RX buffer is read in the same system clock
cycle when the received byte will be stored.
This bit is set by hardware when a received byte is stored into the RX buffer and cleared
when all bytes are read by the software. To avoid losing any information, the set condition
has higher priority than the clear condition. This situation occurs when the byte in the RX
buffer is read in the same system clock cycle when the next received byte will be stored.
This flag is active on default. It is cleared when software writes 8 bytes to the TX buffer
and is set by hardware when it moves one byte into the shift register. As it might be
possible that both actions happen in the same system clock cycle, the clear condition has
the higher priority.
This write collision flag is set when the software writes more bytes to TX buffer than free
places exist. When one byte is moved into the shift register in the same system clock
cycle, its place is also interpreted as free. The bytes software wants to write are
completely rejected to avoid loss of data. It is cleared by software read access to the
status register.
This read error flag is set when software tries to read more bytes than are present in the
RX buffer. It is cleared by software read access to the status register.
This bit is set by hardware when the number of bytes present in the RX buffer (the
NoRxBytes bit field [19:16] in the SPISTAT_B8 register) reaches the level defined by the
RxTrigLvl bit field[19:16] in the SPICFG_B8 register. It is cleared by hardware when the
number of bytes present in the RX buffer drops below the defined level due to
reconfiguration of the level, RX buffer read accesses, or clearing it via ClrRxBuf bit in
the SPISTAT_B8 register.
This bit is set by hardware when the number of free byte locations in the TX buffer (the
NoTxFree bit field in the SPISTAT_B8 register) reaches the level defined by the
txTrigLvl [23:20] bit field in the SPICFG_B8 register. It is cleared by hardware when
the number of free byte locations in the TX buffer drops below the defined level due to
reconfiguration of the level or TX buffer write accesses.
This bit reflects the status of the SPI module.

4.9.
SPI in ZSYSTEM2
The two SPIs contained in the ZSSC1956 are identical four-wire master interfaces: the SPIB8 is used for
communication with the SBC and the other SPI block contained in ZSYSTEM2 can be mapped onto the GPIO
pads for external communication. The SPI for external communication is described here. The three lines SCLK,
MOSI, and MISO are fully controlled by hardware while the CSN line must be controlled by software.
By default, SCLK is high (CPOL == 1; see Table 4.49). However, it can be changed as needed for the SPI
mapped onto the GPIO pads. The SPI clock frequency is configurable by software with a maximum frequency of
half of the system clock frequency.
By default, the MISO line is sampled on the second edge of SCLK. However, it can be changed as needed for the
SPI mapped onto the GPIO pads as all four possible SPI modes are implemented.
Important: Before the SPI in ZSYSTEM2 can be used, the clock of ZSYSTEM2 must be enabled via register
SYS_CLKCFG (see Table 4.5). After enabling the clock for the ZSYSTEM2, the SPI lines must be mapped onto
appropriate GPIO pads (see section 4.3.4).
4.9.1.
Data Transfers
The SPI master initiates all transfers on the SPI bus. To start a transfer, the module must be enabled (set bit
SpiEn in the SPI configuration register to 1; see Table 4.47), the required clock behavior must be configured (set
CDIV, CPHA and CPOL as needed; see Table 4.49), and the slave must be activated (set CSN to 0 in the SPI
configuration register). Additionally, the required interrupt sources must be enabled.
Note: The TX buffer is empty at the beginning.
When the required setup time for the CSN line has expired (50ns), the first byte to be transmitted must be placed
into the TX buffer. This write access to the TX buffer also clears the TxEmpty_SPI flag. In the next system clock
cycle, this byte is transferred into the shift register, the clock line is driven appropriately, and the TxEmpty_SPI
and Busy flag are set to 1, which allows the user to place a second byte into the TX buffer. The first byte is shifted
out of the MOSI line, and the SPI clock is generated as configured.
Simultaneously, the MISO line is sampled and shifted in. Normally, the MISO line is sampled in the middle of a
transmitted bit (blue lines in Figure 4.9). While the MOSI line changes its value at the same time as the SPI clock,
there is a delay regarding the MISO line as first the clock must be driven out of the chip into the connected slave
and then the data must be driven back from the connected slave. To relax the timing, especially for fast SPI
clocks, the SamplePos bit in the SPI configuration register (see Table 4.47) can be set so that the RX data is
sampled at the end of a transmitted bit (red lines in Figure 4.9).
When the complete byte is shifted in and the RX buffer is empty, the byte is stored into the RX buffer at the byte
boundary and the RxFull_SPI flag is set to 1 in the SPI status register (see Table 4.50), signaling the end of the
byte transfer. If the RX buffer is already full and the byte in the RX buffer is not read in the same cycle, the byte
currently received is rejected (lost) and the RxOverflow_SPI flag is set to 1 in the SPI status register.
Note: As the SPI module operates in a full-duplex mode, a dummy byte must be placed into the TX buffer if a
byte must be read from the slave without any write to the slave.
When a new byte is written into the TX buffer before the end of an active byte transfer, the transfer of the new
byte starts immediately after the actual transfer. This means that the busy flag stays active at the end of the first
transmitted byte.

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
As it can be possible that the software disables the SPI while a transfer is in progress (not recommended), a byte
could be present in the TX buffer indicated by a low value of the TxEmpty_SPI flag in the SPI status register.
This byte can be removed from the TX buffer by writing a 1 to the ClrTxBuf bit of the SPI status register (see
Table 4.50); otherwise it would be transmitted when SPI is enabled again.
As mentioned above, the user can configure the SPI clock frequency by the CDIV field. The SPI clock frequency
is given by the following equation:
SPI clock frequency = system clock frequency / (2 * (CDIV + 1))

Interrupts and Status Flags
There are five status flags for this SPI module (see Table 4.50); four of them can be enabled to drive the interrupt
line. Two of the flags correspond to the status of the TX or RX buffer. They are cleared when data is written to or
read from the corresponding buffer. The other two flags can drive the interrupt line are signaling error conditions.
These two flags are cleared by read access to the status register. The fifth status bit is a read only signal which
reflects the status of the module and is fully controlled by hardware. The other flags are controlled by hardware
and by software:

 RxOverflow_SPI:
This bit is set to 1 by hardware when it is not able to store a received byte into the RX
buffer (RX buffer is already full). It is cleared by software read access to the status
register. To prevent losing any information, the set condition has higher priority than the
clear condition. This bit is not set when the byte in the RX buffer is read in the same
system clock cycle when the next received byte will be stored.
 RxFull_SPI:
This bit is set to 1 by hardware when a received byte is stored in the RX buffer and
cleared when the byte is read by the software. To prevent losing any information, the set
condition has higher priority than the clear condition. This situation occurs when the byte
in the RX buffer is read in the same system clock cycle when the next received byte will
be stored.
 TxEmpty_SPI:
This flag is active on default (1). It is cleared when software writes a byte to the TX buffer
and is set to 1 by hardware when it moves this byte into the shift register. As it might be
possible that both actions happen in the same system clock cycle, the clear condition has
the higher priority.
 WrCollision_SPI: This flag is set when the software writes a byte into the TX buffer while the TX buffer is
not empty and its content is not moved into the shift register in the same system clock
cycle. The byte that the software attempted to write is rejected to avoid loss of data. It is
cleared by software read access to the status register.
4.9.3.
Example of SPI Transfer Handling
The following gives a short example of a transfer of six bytes on the SPI bus (SPI2 module):




Write the SPICLKCFG register (see Table 4.49) with the required CPOL, CPHA and CDIV value.
Write the SPICFG register with SpiEn set to 1 and CSN set to 0 and enable the RxFull_SPI_irq and
RxOverflow_SPI_irq interrupts (see Table 4.47). Enabling interrupts can also happen before enabling
SPI.
Write the first TX byte to the TX buffer when the CSN setup time has expired.
Write the second TX byte to the TX buffer.



Wait for the RxFull_SPI interrupt.
Read the first RX byte from the RX buffer.
Write the third TX byte to the TX buffer.









Wait for the RxFull_SPI interrupt.
Read the sixth RX byte from the RX buffer.
Write the SPICFG register with CSN set to 1 (and SpiEn set to 0) when the CSN hold time has expired.
When the software is not able to read the RX byte before the next byte is received (RX overflow), the timing can
be relaxed by waiting for the first RxFull_SPI interrupt before writing the second TX byte. Instead the second TX
byte can be written after this interrupt. This guarantees that no RX overflow can occur but introduces some delay
between two consecutive bytes as the module waits for the next byte transfer until data is present.
Note: A special case for releasing CSN is when a power-down command has been sent to SBC. As the SBC will
at least disable the clock for the MCU when CSN is released, disabling CSN by software can lead to unwanted
behavior. Therefore a hardware mechanism is implemented that disables SPI and releases CSN when a WFI
command with the SLEEPDEEP bit set to 1 is executed (see section 4.3.3).

buffer. A write access to this register also clears the TxEmpty_SPI
flag in the status register.
When reading this register, the contents of the RX buffer is
returned. A read access to this register also clears the
RxFull_SPI flag in the status register.
Note: When writing to this register when the TX buffer is full, the
TX buffer keeps its content and the written byte is rejected. This is
signaled by the WrCollision_SPI flag in the status register.

4.10. I²C™ in ZSYSTEM2
The master-slave I²C™ module provides an interface to the I²C™ bus, which is compliant to the Philips I²C™ bus
specification. It supports all transfer modes (RX and TX; master and slave) and can be connected to busses
operating as a slave, single-master, or as one of many masters. It supports true multi-master operation including
collision detection and bus arbitration. The 10-bit addressing mode and the high-speed mode are not supported.
The maximum possible frequency on the bus is one sixteenth of the internal clock.
Each transfer on the I²C™ bus is controlled by interrupts when software interaction is needed. All registers of this
I²C™ module must only be accessed when the device is disabled or when an interrupt is active.
Important: Before the I²C™ in ZSYSTEM2 can be used, the clock of ZSYSTEM2 must be enabled via register
SYS_CLKCFG (see Table 4.5). After the clock for the ZSYSTEM2 is enabled, the I²C™ lines must be mapped
onto appropriate GPIO pads (see section 4.3.4).
®
The I²C™ module in ZSYSTEM2 has an active-high interrupt line connected to ARM interrupt 8.
4.10.1.
External Signal Lines
The I²C™ bus consists of two external signal lines, SCL and SDA, for communication between all devices connected to the bus. As SCL is always driven by the master and SDA by various devices, both output drivers
operate as open-drain drivers independent of the corresponding bit in the ppNod bit field in the register
SYS_MEMPORTCFG.
The I²C™ clock is used to synchronize the data transfer between the devices. During each transfer, the clock is
generated by the master on the SCL line, but its low phase can be extended by each connected slave. In slave
mode, the device extends the low phase of the ninth bit (ACK) to enable the software to setup the next byte
transfer. The incoming clock is synchronized and filtered for resistance against short spikes on the clock line.
The I²C™ data line is always driven by the transmitter. For the first byte of a transfer, the transmitter is always the
master transferring the address and the direction of the next bytes. When a transmitter sends a 1 but detects a 0
on the bus, it immediately releases the bus. The incoming data line is synchronized and filtered for resistance
against short spikes on the data line.
4.10.2.
The I²C™ Bus
2
Each transfer on the I C™ bus is a read or write access by a master to a slave. All transfers are initiated by a
master generating a START condition on a bus followed by the address byte, which must be acknowledged by
the addressed slave. Depending on the access type (read; write), data bytes are sent over the bus by the
transmitter. Each byte sent on the bus must be 8 bits long followed by an acknowledge bit returned by the
receiver. The transfer is terminated by the master generating a STOP condition on the bus or by starting a new
transfer by generating a RESTART condition. All bytes are transferred MSB first.
Sequence when the master requests data from the slave:




Master generates a START condition when the bus is free.
Master sends the address byte; the slave sends the acknowledge bit in response.
Slave sends the data bytes; the master sends the acknowledge bit in response to each byte (last byte is
NACKed to signal to the slave to release the bus).
Master generates the STOP condition to release the bus or the RESTART condition to start a new
transfer.

Bus Conflicts
Bus conflicts can occur when two devices drive the data line SDA at the same time. This can happen when two
master devices have generated a START condition at the same time, when two slave devices have the same
slave address, or when two slave devices are accessed for writing by the global call address. As the outputs are
open-drain drivers, a conflict can be detected by the device driving a 1 as this 1 is overridden by the device
driving a 0 on the bus. All these conflicts are handled in hardware.
Exceptions: The following possible conflicts (masters only) cannot be handled in hardware:
 Data bit
 STOP
 Data bit
 RESTART
 RESTART  STOP
The occurrence of these conflicts must be avoided by software protocols.
Note: The first two conflicts can be avoided if all masters access the same slave with the same amount of bytes.
However, different numbers of bytes can be used for different slaves.
Note: The third conflict can be avoided if all masters behave in the same manner, either generating a STOP or a
RESTART.

Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
Note: Another solution for avoiding these conflicts can be that each master performs a write access without any
data to all the other masters to ensure that it is the only master on the bus.
When the ZSSC1956 IBS is accessed as slave, it automatically handles the following conflicts:



4.10.4.
Conflict during transmission of the acknowledge bit following the address byte: this can only occur when
another device has the same slave address or the global call address is used and when this device is not
ready to be accessed and therefore is sending a NACK. It just releases the bus and ignores all actions on
the bus until it detects a RESTART, START, or STOP condition.
Conflict during transmission of the acknowledge bit following a data byte: this can only occur for a write
transfer when another device has the same slave address or the global call address is used and when
this device is not ready to receive more data and therefore is sending a NACK. It just releases the bus
and ignores all actions on the bus until it detects a RESTART, START, or STOP condition.
Conflict during transmission of a data byte: this can only occur for a read transfer when another device
has the same slave address and both have sent an ACK in response to the address byte. This conflict
occurs when this device is transmitting a 1 (recessive value) while the other slave is transmitting a 0
(dominant value). This device immediately releases the bus and generates an interrupt with status
S_I2cStConflict (see page 194).
Operating as Slave-Only
2
When the ZSSC1956 IBS is operating as a pure slave on the I C™ bus without using the master functionality, the
2
registers Z2_I2CCLKRATE and Z2_I2CCLKRATE2 are not needed as the clock on the I C™ bus is always
generated by the master device. The stop and start bits of register Z2_I2CCTRL (see Table 4.54) must always
be set to 0 as the START and STOP conditions are always generated by the master while the multi bit must be
set to 1 to avoid conflicts when enabling the module (see section 4.10.8).
For the ZSSC1956 IBS to be accessible via its own slave address, a non-zero slave address must be programmed into the addr bit field in the Z2_I2CADDR register (see Table 4.53) and the ack and enI2C bits in the
Z2_I2CCTRL register must be set to 1.
For the ZSSC1956 IBS to be accessible via the global call address (only write access allowed; read access is
rejected), the gc bit in the Z2_I2CADDR register and the ack and enI2C bits must be set to 1. When the slave
module detects a START (or RESTART) condition on the bus, it enables its address checker.
4.10.4.1. Slave Receiver
After the slave detects its own slave address and a write command (see Figure 4.11) and after the slave returns
an ACK, an interrupt with the status S_I2cStRxWrAddr is generated (see page 189) and the module becomes the
slave receiver. It then expands the low phase of the SCL of the acknowledge bit until its interrupt is cleared. As
there is no required content in the data register, software only needs to set the ack bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL
register to the desired value and clear the interrupt (irq bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register). The programmed
acknowledge bit will be used as the response to the following data byte to be written.
When the ack bit is set to 1, an ACK will be returned, indicating that the module is able to receive further data
bytes. The master can then send a data byte, which will be acknowledged, and the slave generates a new
interrupt after responding with ACK with the status S_I2cStRxWrData (see page 190). Additionally, the low phase
of the acknowledge bit on SCL is expanded until the interrupt is cleared. When the interrupt is active, software
must read the received data byte first before setting the ack bit to the desired value and clearing the interrupt
(irq bit).

ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
When the ack bit is to set to 0, a NACK will be returned in response to the following data byte, indicating that the
module is not able to receive further data and is leaving the bus. After the NACK has been sent, an interrupt with
status S_I2cStRxWrDataN is generated (see page 191). Software must read the received data byte first and then
must set the ack bit to the desired value and clear the interrupt (irq bit). As the slave leaves the bus, it does not
expand the low phase of SCL, but if a new START condition is detected while the interrupt is still active, the low
phase of SCL following this START will be expanded so that the slave can setup the ack bit for the next incoming
address.
When the master generates a STOP or RESTART condition instead of sending a data byte, an interrupt with
status S_I2cStRxSlvEnd is generated immediately (see page 192). If a RESTART or a START follows the STOP,
the low phase of SCL following the RESTART/START will be expanded until the interrupt is cleared to be able to
setup the ack bit correctly as it might be possible that software has programmed a NACK for the next data byte
but wants to return an ACK when it detects its address.
When detecting the global call address and a write command and returning an ACK, the behavior is the same as
for being accessed via the slave’s own address. Only the status values are different: S_I2cStRxGcAddr instead of
S_I2cStRxWrAddr, S_I2cStRxGcData instead of S_I2cStRxWrData, and S_I2cStRxGcDataN instead of
S_I2cStRxWrDataN.
2
A conflict on the I C™ bus can only be detected during a returned acknowledge bit when the slave is sending a
NACK. As the slave leaves the bus after transmitting the NACK, no specific actions are required and the conflict is
ignored.
Important: Always clear the interrupt flag to avoid this device blocking the bus.
4.10.4.2. Slave Transmitter
After the slave detects its own slave address and a read command (see Figure 4.10) and after the slave returns
an ACK, an interrupt with the status S_I2cStRxRdAddr is generated (see page 192) and the module becomes the
slave transmitter. It then expands the low phase of the acknowledge bit on SCL until its interrupt is cleared.
Additionally the bus is turned over to the slave for transmitting data. Software must program the data byte to be
transmitted into the register Z2_I2CDATA first (see Table 4.56) and then must set the ack bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL
register to the desired value and clear the interrupt (irq bit). The programmed acknowledge bit will be used to
signal to the hardware whether the programmed data byte is the last one (ack bit == 0) or if further data could be
sent (ack bit == 1).
When the received acknowledge bit is an NACK, the master signals that it does not want to read more data and
that it wishes to return the bus to the master. An interrupt with status S_I2cStSlvTxDataN is generated (see
page 193) and the slave leaves the bus. If a new RESTART/START occurs while the interrupt is still active, the
low phase of SCL following the RESTART/START will be expanded until the interrupt is cleared.
When the received acknowledge bit is an ACK but the ack bit is 0, indicating that the sent byte was the last byte,
an interrupt with status S_I2cStSlvTxDataL is generated (see page 194) and the slave leaves the bus. The next
bytes read by the master will be FF HEX as the slave stops driving the data line. If a new RESTART/START occurs
while the interrupt is still active, the low phase of SCL following the RESTART/START will be expanded until the
interrupt is cleared.

ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
When the received acknowledge bit is an ACK and the ack bit is 1, an interrupt with status S_I2cStSlvTxData is
generated (see page 193). The next data byte to be transmitted must be programmed to register Z2_I2CDATA
first and then the ack bit must be set to the desired value and the interrupt must be cleared. To avoid the master
continuing to generate the clock, this slave extends the low phase of SCL following the ACK until the interrupt is
cleared.
A conflict on the bus can only be detected during transmission of a data byte when sending a logic 1 but detecting
a logic 0 on the bus, which means that two slaves have the same slave address. In this case, the slave immediately leaves the bus and generates an interrupt with status S_I2cStConflict at the negative clock edge of the
acknowledge bit.
4.10.5.
Operating as Single Master
2
2
When the ZSSC1956 I C™ module is operating as the only master on the I C™ bus, all transfers on the bus are
2
started and stopped by this module. Additionally, this module generates the clock for all transfers on the I C™ bus
on the SCL line. The clock can be configured via registers Z2_I2CCLKRATE and Z2_I2CCLKRATE2 (see Table
4.51 and Table 4.52). However, each connected slave is allowed to extend the low phase of the clock, which
results in a reduced data rate.
As all transfers are started by this module, no slave address needs to be programmed to the addr bit field in the
Z2_I2CADDR register and the global call address does not need to be enabled via the gc bit. This module only
needs to be enabled by setting the enI2C bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register to 1 and setting its multi bit to 0 for a
faster bus access time (see section 4.10.8).
To start a transfer as a master, the start bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register must be set to 1. When the START
condition has been generated on the bus and SCL is low, an interrupt is generated with status S_I2cStTxStart
(see page 186). When the interrupt is active, the data register must be written with the address of the slave to be
accessed and the command bit. Next the stop, start, and irq bits in the Z2_I2CCTRL register must be
cleared to continue the transfer. (The start and stop bits must be set to 0 as generating a RESTART or STOP
condition on the bus directly after the START is not allowed.) After transmitting the address and the command
and after the reception of the acknowledge bit, the next interrupt is generated. The status depends on the
transmitted command (read or write) and the received acknowledge bit (ACK or NACK).
4.10.5.1. Master Transmitter
When a write command was sent and a NACK was received, the interrupt status is S_I2cStTxWrAddrN (see
page 187). This means that the slave is not ready to receive data. Software then must generate a STOP on the
bus by setting the stop bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register to 1 and clearing the interrupt or must generate a
RESTART on the bus by setting the start bit to 1 and clearing the interrupt. When both the stop and start
2
bits are set to 1, first a STOP condition will be generated on the I C™ bus followed by a START condition. No
interrupt will occur for generating a STOP condition. For both RESTART and START, an interrupt with status
S_I2cStTxStart occurs.

ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
When a write command has been sent and an ACK has been received, the interrupt status is S_I2cStTxWrAddr
(see page 186). This means that the slave is ready to receive data. Software now can send data, or it can
generate a STOP or RESTART condition. The behavior for sending a STOP or RESTART is as described above
when receiving a NACK. To send data, the byte to be transmitted must be programmed into the data register.
Next the stop, start, and irq bits in the Z2_I2CCTRL register must be cleared. Depending on the
acknowledge bit received as a response to the data byte, an interrupt with status S_I2cStMstTxData (ACK; see
page 187) or S_I2cStMstTxDataN (NACK; see page 187) is generated. For a received ACK, the same actions as
for the received ACK in response to the address byte can be performed. For a received NACK, the same actions
as for the received NACK in response to the address byte can be performed.
4.10.5.2. Master Receiver
When a read command has been sent and a NACK was received, the interrupt status is S_I2cStTxRdAddrN (see
page 188). This means that the slave is not ready to deliver data and the master remains the owner of the bus.
Software then must generate a STOP on the bus by setting the stop bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register to 1 and
clearing the interrupt or must generate a RESTART on the bus by setting the start bit to 1 and clearing the
interrupt. When both the stop and start bits are set to 1, first a STOP condition will be generated followed by a
START condition. No interrupt will occur for generating a STOP condition. For both RESTART and START, an
interrupt with status S_I2cStTxStart occurs.
When a read command has been sent and an ACK has been received, the interrupt status is S_I2cStTxRdAddr
2
(see page 188). This means that the slave is ready to deliver data, and the I C™ bus is turned over to the slave.
Software must keep the start and stop bits low as this module is not the owner of the data line. The ack bit in
the Z2_I2CCTRL register must be set to the appropriate value that will be sent in response to the subsequent
received data byte. A value of 0 (NACK will be sent) signals to the slave that the data byte is the last one to be
read and the slave must leave the bus so that the master can generate a STOP or a RESTART. A value of 1
(ACK will be sent) signals to the slave that additional bytes will be read afterward. The irq bit must also be
cleared to continue the transfer.
When a data byte has been received and an ACK has been returned, an interrupt with status S_I2cStMstRxData
occurs (see page 188) and the slave retains the ownership of the data line. Software must first read the received
byte and then must set the acknowledge bit to the desired value and to clear the interrupt bit.
When a data byte has been received and an NACK has been returned, an interrupt with status
S_I2cStMstRxDataN occurs (see page 189). The bus is returned to the master. Software must read the received
data byte and then must generate a STOP or RESTART by setting the appropriate bits and must clear the
interrupt.
4.10.6.
Operating as Master on a Multi-Master Bus
2
2
When the ZSSC1956 I C™ module is operating as one of many masters on the I C™ bus, the transfers on the
2
I C™ bus can be started by this or by another module. When this module is the master, it generates the clock for
its master transfers on the SCL line using registers Z2_I2CCLKRATE and Z2_I2CCLKRATE2 while it will use the
clock provided by another master if accessed as slave. When two masters drive the clock line at the same time
before any contention has occurred, the high phase is determined by the fastest master on the bus while the low
phase is determined by the slower one. However, each connected slave is allowed to extend the low phase of the
clock, which results in a reduced data rate.

ZSSC1956
Intelligent Battery Sensor IC
To be accessible via its own slave address, a non-zero slave address must be programmed into the addr bit field
in the Z2_I2CADDR register and the ack bit and enI2C bits in the Z2_I2CCTRL register must be set to 1. To be
able to be accessed via the global call address (only write access allowed, read access is rejected), the gc bit in
the Z2_I2CADDR register and the ack and enI2C bits must be set to 1. When the slave module detects a
START (or RESTART) condition on the bus, it enables its address checker. When this module is enabled by
writing 1 to the enI2C bit, then the multi bit must also be set to 1 as there might already be an active transfer
by another master. This is needed to avoid this module disturbing the traffic on the bus (see section 4.10.8).
The handling for transfers is almost the same as described in the previous sections. Only some additional status
interrupts can occur due to conflict situations. On a multi-master bus, it is possible that at least two masters
assume the bus is free and generate a START condition at the same moment.
If the master detects a conflict during the address and command byte, it immediately switches into slave mode to
check whether it will be accessed or not. In this situation, if it detects its own slave address and a read command
and then it returns an ACK (ack bit == 1), an interrupt with status S_I2cStRxRdAddrL (see page 193) instead of
status S_I2cStRxRdAddr is generated and the device becomes a slave transmitter. In this situation, if it detects its
own slave address and a write command and then it returns an ACK (ack bit == 1), an interrupt with status
S_I2cStRxWrAddrL (see page 189) instead of status S_I2cStRxWrAddr is generated and the device becomes a
slave receiver. In this situation, if it detects the global call address and a write command and then it returns an
ACK (ack bit == 1), an interrupt with status S_I2cStRxGcAddrL (see page 190) instead of status
S_I2cStRxGcAddr (see page 190) is generated and the device becomes a slave receiver. Otherwise (wrong
address, NACK returned), an interrupt with status S_I2cStConflict is generated and the device leaves the bus.
It is also possible that two masters could access the same slave with the same command. In this case, a conflict
might be detected during the transmission of a data byte or an acknowledge bit. In both cases, an interrupt with
status S_I2cStConflict is generated and the device leaves the bus.
4.10.7.
Error Conditions
In addition to all the interrupts related to transmission and reception, two error interrupts are possible. If one of the
state machines in this module enters an undefined state (due to cosmic radiation), an interrupt with status
S_I2cStHWError (see page 195) is generated. To solve this situation, the module must be disabled as all state
machines are then set back to their default states.
If a START or STOP condition is detected on the bus during an active transfer as a master or a slave, this module
immediately leaves the bus and generates an interrupt with status S_I2cStBusError (see page 195). If this error
was caused by a START condition or if a START conditions follows afterward, the low phase of SCL following the
START will be expanded until the interrupt is cleared to be able to setup the device correctly for a new transfer.
Warning: Due to several error conditions, for example if a slave missed one clock cycle, other state transitions
are possible, and the bus might get stuck. When an unexpected state transition occurs, the module must be
disabled and re-enabled to clean up the bus. One possible situation is a conflict when operating as single master.
4.10.8.
Bus States
2
There are four different states possible for the I C™ bus. The bus can be busy, free, or stuck, or the state can be
unknown. The last state occurs when the device is just enabled. The determination of the bus state depends on
whether the device is the only master on the bus (multi bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register == 0) or not (multi bit
== 1).

At enable, the I C™ bus state is unknown as the module did not observe the bus when it was disabled. When this
device is configured to be the only master on the bus (multi bit in the Z2_I2CCTRL register == 0), no START or
STOP condition can occur. Additionally SCL cannot change from high to low as this transition is only allowed for
masters, but a slave can only hold SCL low after it has detected a low clock line. This is needed to handle
interrupts and data before the transfer continues. Therefore three bus conditions are possible after enabling this
module:



SCL == 1 and SDA == 1: When both lines are undriven, the module assumes the bus to be free.
SCL == 1 and SDA == 0: This situation can only occur if a slave has missed a clock pulse or if the
master was disabled within a transfer. In this case, the module assumes the
bus to be stuck and generates clock pulses until both lines are undriven.
SCL == 0: This situation can only occur when the master was disabled within a transfer and the
accessed slave holds SCL low as it has not cleared its interrupt. This situation cannot be
directly cleared so the master must wait until the slave releases SCL. After that, one of the
two situations above is present which the master is able to handle.
Note: The module assumes the bus is free if both SCL and SDA are high. When the module detects a START
condition (generated by itself), it assumes the bus is busy.
Note: If the bus is stuck, the device generates clock pulses until both SDA and SCL are high. Then it assumes
the bus is free again. Therefore the multi bit must be set to 1 when operating as slave-only to avoid this module
assuming the bus to be stuck and generating clock pulses on the SCL line.
Note: The bus is only busy after the module has generated a START. Normally, the module generates a STOP to
release the bus at the end of its transfer. When this STOP does not occur on the bus because a slave drives SDA
low due to an error, the bus is stuck.
4.10.8.2. Multi Master
At enable, the bus state is unknown as the module did not observe the bus when it was disabled. In contrast to a
single master system, it cannot assume the bus to be free when both lines are undriven as this situation also
occurs during the transmission of a 1 when the clock is high. The following conditions are possible:






START detected: The module assumes the bus to be busy.
STOP detected:
The bus assumes the bus to be free.
Falling edge of SCL:
As only a master is allowed to change the level of SCL from 1 to 0, the module
assumes an active transfer and therefore the bus to be busy.
SCL == 1 and SDA == 1: When this condition is true for a specific time (timeout), the module assumes
the bus to be free. Before the timeout occurs, the bus state remains unknown.
SCL == 1 and SDA == 0: When this condition is true for a specific time (timeout), the module assumes
the bus to be stuck. Before the timeout occurs, the bus state remains unknown.
SCL == 0: This situation can occur because a transfer is active but also can occur due to the situation
described for single master. Therefore the master cannot determine the correct state and waits
until SCL becomes high again.
Note: The module assumes the bus is free if both SCL and SDA are high. When the module detects a START
condition, it assumes the bus is busy.

4.11. USART in ZSYSTEM2
The USART module provides four different operating modes. Two of them deliver synchronous operation with a
size of 8 bits, during which this module is the master (it generates the clock). These modes vary only in the
sampling position in the RX mode. The other two modes offer asynchronous operation: one with a size of 8 bits
and the other with a size of 9 bits. The last mode can also be used for multiprocessor communication.
The maximum possible baud rate on the bus is a fifth of the internal clock in synchronous mode or a fourth of the
internal clock in asynchronous mode.
®
The USART has an active-high interrupt line connected to ARM interrupt 7.
Important: Before the USART can be used, the clock of ZSYSTEM2 must be enabled first via register
SYS_CLKCFG (see Table 4.5). After the clock for the ZSYSTEM2 is enabled, the USART pins must be mapped
onto appropriate GPIO pads (see section 4.3.4).
®
The USART module in ZSYSTEM2 has an active-high interrupt line connected to ARM interrupt 7.
4.11.1.
External Signal Lines
The USART bus consists of two external signal lines, TXD and RXD. The TXD line always operates as an output.
Therefore the behavior of its output driver (open-drain; push-pull) is selectable by setting the corresponding bit of
bit field ppNod of register SYS_MEMPORTCFG (see Table 4.6) to the desired value. In synchronous mode, the
TXD line is used to provide the clock for the connected slave. In asynchronous mode, the TXD line is used to
send data to the connected device. As the RXD line is used to send and receive data in synchronous mode, its
output driver always operates as an open-drain independent of the setting of the ppNod bit field. In asynchronous
mode, it is always used to receive data from the connected device.
4.11.2.
Asynchronous Mode
When operating in asynchronous mode (Mode bit field in register Z2_USARTCFG is set to 2 or 3; see Table 4.57),
the receive channel and the transmit channel are completely independent. When mode 2 is selected, 8 bits are
transferred between the START bit and the STOP bit. In mode 3, there are 9 bits transferred between the START
bit and the STOP bit. The USART module is enabled by the UsartEn bit in register Z2_USARTCFG. The mode
must not be changed when the module is enabled, but it can be selected in the same write access as the module
enable.
As the operation is asynchronous, the timing of the transfer must be defined identically on both sides (this device
and the connected device) before a transfer can take part. This can be done for this device by programming the
appropriate value to the baud rate registers (Z2_USARTCLK1 and Z2_USARTCLK2; see section 4.11.4.5). The
baud rate depends on the divided system clock (see section 4.3.2) and must only be changed when the module is
disabled. The value to be programmed is calculated using the following formula:
period = round(module clock / baud rate) – 1
The minimum value allowed to be programmed is 3.
While there is no dedicated enable for the TX channel (transmission is started by a write access to the TX buffer),
the receive channel has a dedicated enable bit (RxEn_USART bit in register Z2_USARTCFG). As the incoming
data cannot be influenced regarding arrival time, it is recommended that enabling or disabling the receive channel
only be performed when the module is disabled. The RX enable bit can be selected in the same write access as
the module enable.

When the module is disabled, all state machines as well as all status bits in the Z2_USARTSTAT register except
RxFull_USART and RxBit8 are set back to their default state (see Table 4.58). The RxFull_USART status bit
is only cleared by read access to the RX buffer to prevent losing data at disable.

4.11.2.1. USART Asynchronous Transmission
A transmission is started by writing the data to be transmitted into the TX buffer (write to Z2_USARTDATA; see
Table 4.59). As this register is only 8-bit wide, the ninth bit (MSB) in mode 3 must be written to TxBit8
(Z2_USARTCFG [7]) before writing the LSBs to the TX buffer. Writing to the TX buffer clears the status flag
TxBufEmpty in the status register Z2_USARTSTAT (see Table 4.58). When the transmitter is idle (bit
TxSrEmpty is 1), the START bit and the STOP bit are added to the TX data and all 10/11 bits are moved into the
TX shift register. The status flag TxBufEmpty is cleared, and the data is shifted out of the module. Both the
START bit and the STOP bit have a length of 1 bit. New data can be written into TxBit8 and into the TX buffer
when the buffer is marked as empty (directly after the data transfer into the TX shift register).
When the data is shifted out and further data is present in the TX buffer, the next transfer follows immediately.
When no further data is present, the transmitter stops and the TxSrEmpty flag is set. When the software tries to
write to the TX buffer or to change TxBit8 while the buffer is not empty (bit TxBufEmpty is 0), the write access
is rejected (old data is kept) and the write collision flag WrCollision_USART is set to 1.
All three flags (TxSrEmpty, TxEmpty_USART, WrCollision_USART) are allowed to drive the interrupt line
when they are enabled for this via register Z2_USARTIRQEN (see Table 4.60). All three flags are set to their
default values when the module is disabled. The flag TxSrEmpty is also set and cleared by hardware only. The
flag TxEmpty_USART is set by data transfer into the shift register and cleared by write access to the TX buffer.
WrCollision_USART is only set by hardware and cleared on read access to the status register
Z2_USARTSTAT.

4.11.2.2. USART Asynchronous Reception
The module synchronizes to incoming data on the falling edge on the RXD line (START detection). After half a
period, it is checked whether the value on the RXD line is still 0. If this is not the case, the actual transfer is
stopped, the status flag StartErr is set to 1 in register Z2_USARTSTAT (see Table 4.58) and the module waits
on the next falling edge on the RXD line. This error condition can occur due to a mismatch in the programmed
period in both devices, due to a spike on the RXD line that caused the erroneous synchronization or due to a
misaligned enable of the module. The last situation could be avoided by software if both devices send FFHEX as
data for an initial synchronization. In this case, only the START bit would drive the data line low. The flag
StartErr is set by hardware and is cleared by read access to the status register Z2_USARTSTAT or when the
module is disabled. Further data reception is not blocked when this bit is set. When enabled via
Z2_USARTIRQEN (see Table 4.60), this flag is allowed to drive the interrupt line.
When operating in mode 2 and the Mpce bit (Z2_USARTCFG[4]) is 0, the received data byte is stored into the RX
buffer and the level of the received STOP bit is stored into RxBit8 (Z2_USARTSTAT[7]). The data is stored at
the sampling position of the STOP bit. If the Mpce bit is 1 instead, the received byte and STOP bit are only stored
when the STOP bit has a value of 1. Otherwise the data is rejected. The rejection is not signaled to the software.
When data is stored in the RX buffer, the RxFull_USART flag is set. This flag is cleared by reading the data out
of the RX buffer. If the RX buffer is marked as full when new data is received, the new data is rejected and the
RxOverflow_USART status flag is set. As there is no overflow check for RxBit8, the status including RxBit8 must
be read before the RX buffer.
The flag RxOverflow_USART is set by hardware and cleared by read access to the status register or when the
module is disabled. When enabled via register Z2_USARTIRQEN, this flag is allowed to drive the interrupt line.
Also the RxFull_USART flag is set by hardware and is allowed to drive the interrupt line. This flag is cleared on
read access to the RX buffer, but it is not cleared when module is disabled to avoid loss of data.
When operating in mode 3, there will be 9 instead of 8 data bits received. The module behaves almost the same,
except that there is no check for the STOP bit level. Instead the level of the ninth data bit can be checked when
bit Mpce is set to 1. This can be used for multiprocessor communication.
In multiprocessor communication, all devices set their Mpce bit to 1. In this case, they only receive and store data
when the ninth data bit is 1. The ninth bit is used to distinguish between the address byte (ninth bit is 1) and data
bytes (ninth bit is 0). For a complete transfer, the first byte is sent with the ninth bit set to 1 where this byte is used
as the address byte. All devices will receive this byte and can do an address check in software. After the address
check is performed, the addressed device clears its Mpce bit to be able to receive the following data bytes and the
originator of the address sends data bytes with the ninth bit set to 0. All other devices that are not addressed,
keep their Mpce bit set to 1 to ignore all incoming data bytes. They continue receiving when the next address byte
arrives.
4.11.3.
Synchronous Mode
When operating in synchronous mode (Mode bit field in register Z2_USARTCFG is set to 0 or 1; see Table 4.57),
this module generates the clock on the TXD line whenever a transfer will take place. Each transfer consists of 8
bits without any START or STOP bit. The data is transferred via the RXD line. The USART module is enabled by
the UsartEn bit in register Z2_USARTCFG. The mode must not be changed when the module is enabled, but it
can be selected in the same write access as the module enable. The two modes differ only by the sampling
position.

The transfer speed must be programmed as in asynchronous mode with the following formula:
period = round(module clock / baud rate) – 1
The minimum value allowed to be programmed is 4.
The clock is generated by hardware. The falling edge is generated at approximately ¼ of the period and the rising
edge is generated at approximately ¾ of the period.
If the real period (programmed period + 1) is equal to




4*N
4*N+1
4*N+2
4*N+3
the high phase of the generated clock is equal to the low phase.
the high phase of the generated clock is one cycle longer than the low phase.
the high phase of the generated clock is equal to the low phase.
the high phase of the generated clock is one cycle shorter than the low phase.
As one line is used for the transfer clock, the direction of the transfer must be selected via the RX enable bit
(RxEn_USART in register Z2_USARTCFG). As this module controls the transfer, the RX enable bit should only be
changed when no transfer is in progress. This can be checked via the TxSrEmpty status flag.
For transmission, the data byte to be transmitted must be programmed into the TX buffer. The data byte is then
transferred into the TX shift register and shifted out of the module. The three status flags behave as in
asynchronous mode.
Because the RXD line is a bidirectional open-drain buffer, a receive transfer is started by writing FFHEX into the TX
buffer. This means that receiving is the same as transmitting FFHEX except that the RX enable bit (RxEn_USART)
is set. The status flags RxOverflow_USART and RxFull_USART behave as in asynchronous mode except that
they are set at the sampling position of the last bit of the received data byte.
In mode 0, the RXD line is sampled at the rising edge of the generated clock. As the transfer is synchronous, the
connected slave is assumed to send the data to the RX line on the falling edge. Therefore the device samples the
data half a period after it was generated. This time is further shortened due to the PCB delay of the clock, the
internal delay of the accessed device, and the PCB delay of the returned data. To address this timing issue, a
second mode (mode 1) is implemented where the data is sampled later at the end of the bit period.

5.6. Conducted Emission
The tests are in accordance with IEC 61967-4:2002. In the whole frequency range of 0.1 to 1000MHz, a peak
detector with a bandwidth of 9kHz (measuring receiver with step 5 kHz) or 10 kHz (spectrum analyzer) is used.
The measuring or sweep time is selected in such a way that a longer time will not result in a change of more than
1dB in the measured emission. For the 150Ω method for each pin, the pin-group must be defined. With the 1Ω
method, the RF current is measured.
