General Description
The device is a Flash Memory I/O with USB type 8-bit high performance RISC architecture
microcontrollers, designed for applications that interface directly to which require an USB interface.
Offering users the convenience of Flash Memory multiprogramming features, these devices also
include a wide range of functions and features. Other memory includes an area of RAM Data
Memory.
Multiple and extremely flexible Timer Modules provide timing, pulse generation and PWM
generation functions. Communication with the outside world is catered for by including fully
integrated SPI, I2C and USB interface functions, three popular interfaces which provide designers
with a means of easy communication with external peripheral hardware. Protective features such as
an internal Watchdog Timer, Low Voltage Reset and Low Voltage Detector coupled with excellent
noise immunity and ESD protection ensure that reliable operation is maintained in hostile electrical
environments. The external interrupt can be triggered with falling edges or both falling and rising
edges.
A full choice of three oscillator functions are provided including two fully integrated system
oscillators which requires no external components for their implementation. The ability to operate
and switch dynamically between a range of operating modes using different clock sources gives
users the ability to optimize microcontroller operation and minimize power consumption.
The inclusion of flexible I/O programming features along with many other features ensure that the
devices will find specific excellent use in a wide range of application possibilities such as motor
driving, industrial control, consumer products, subsystem controllers, etc.
The devices are fully supported by the Holtek range of fully functional development and
programming tools, providing a means for fast and efficient product development cycles.

System Architecture
A key factor in the high-performance features of the Holtek range of microcontrollers is attributed
to their internal system architecture. The range of devices take advantage of the usual features found
within RISC microcontrollers providing increased speed of operation and enhanced performance.
The pipelining scheme is implemented in such a way that instruction fetching and instruction
execution are overlapped, hence instructions are effectively executed in one cycle, with the
exception of branch or call instructions. An 8-bit wide ALU is used in practically all instruction set
operations, which carries out arithmetic operations, logic operations, rotation, increment, decrement,
branch decisions, etc. The internal data path is simplified by moving data through the Accumulator
and the ALU. Certain internal registers are implemented in the Data Memory and can be directly
or indirectly addressed. The simple addressing methods of these registers along with additional
architectural features ensure that a minimum of external components is required to provide a
functional I/O control system with maximum reliability and flexibility. This makes the device
suitable for low-cost, high-volume production for controller applications.
Clocking and Pipelining
The main system clock, derived from either a HXT, HIRC or LIRC oscillator is subdivided into
four internally generated non-overlapping clocks, T1~T4. The Program Counter is incremented at
the beginning of the T1 clock during which time a new instruction is fetched. The remaining T2~T4
clocks carry out the decoding and execution functions. In this way, one T1~T4 clock cycle forms
one instruction cycle. Although the fetching and execution of instructions takes place in consecutive
instruction cycles, the pipelining structure of the microcontroller ensures that instructions are
effectively executed in one instruction cycle. The exception to this are instructions where the
contents of the Program Counter are changed, such as subroutine calls or jumps, in which case the
instruction will take one more instruction cycle to execute.

System Clocking and Pipelining
For instructions involving branches, such as jump or call instructions, two machine cycles are
required to complete instruction execution. An extra cycle is required as the program takes one
cycle to first obtain the actual jump or call address and then another cycle to actually execute the
branch. The requirement for this extra cycle should be taken into account by programmers in timing
sensitive applications.
  
    
 Instruction Fetching
Program Counter
During program execution, the Program Counter is used to keep track of the address of the next
instruction to be executed. It is automatically incremented by one each time an instruction is
executed except for instructions, such as “JMP” or “CALL” that demand a jump to a nonconsecutive
Program Memory address. Only the lower 8 bits, known as the Program Counter Low Register, are
directly addressable by the application program.
When executing instructions requiring jumps to non-consecutive addresses such as a jump
instruction, a subroutine call, interrupt or reset, etc., the microcontroller manages program control
by loading the required address into the Program Counter. For conditional skip instructions, once
the condition has been met, the next instruction, which has already been fetched during the present
instruction execution, is discarded and a dummy cycle takes its place while the correct instruction is
obtained.
The lower byte of the Program Counter, known as the Program Counter Low register or PCL, is
available for program control and is a readable and writeable register. By transferring data directly
into this register, a short program jump can be executed directly; however, as only this low byte
is available for manipulation, the jumps are limited to the present page of memory, which is 256
locations. When such program jumps are executed it should also be noted that a dummy cycle
will be inserted. Manipulating the PCL register may cause program branching, so an extra cycle is
needed to pre-fetch.

Stack
This is a special part of the memory which is used to save the contents of the Program Counter only.
The stack has multiple levels depending upon the device and is neither part of the data nor part of
the program space, and is neither readable nor writeable. The activated level is indexed by the Stack
Pointer, and is neither readable nor writeable. At a subroutine call or interrupt acknowledge signal,
the contents of the Program Counter are pushed onto the stack. At the end of a subroutine or an
interrupt routine, signaled by a return instruction, RET or RETI, the Program Counter is restored to
its previous value from the stack. After a device reset, the Stack Pointer will point to the top of the
stack.
If the stack is full and an enabled interrupt takes place, the interrupt request flag will be recorded but
the acknowledge signal will be inhibited. When the Stack Pointer is decremented, by RET or RETI,
the interrupt will be serviced. This feature prevents stack overflow allowing the programmer to use
the structure more easily. However, when the stack is full, a CALL subroutine instruction can still
be executed which will result in a stack overflow. Precautions should be taken to avoid such cases
which might cause unpredictable program branching.
If the stack is overflow, the first Program Counter save in the stack will be lost.

Arithmetic and Logic Unit – ALU
The arithmetic-logic unit or ALU is a critical area of the microcontroller that carries out arithmetic
and logic operations of the instruction set. Connected to the main microcontroller data bus, the ALU
receives related instruction codes and performs the required arithmetic or logical operations after
which the result will be placed in the specified register. As these ALU calculation or operations may
result in carry, borrow or other status changes, the status register will be correspondingly updated to
reflect these changes. The ALU supports the following functions:
• Arithmetic operations: ADD, ADDM, ADC, ADCM, SUB, SUBM, SBC, SBCM, DAA
• Logic operations: AND, OR, XOR, ANDM, ORM, XORM, CPL, CPLA
• Rotation RRA, RR, RRCA, RRC, RLA, RL, RLCA, RLC

Flash Program Memory
The Program Memory is the location where the user code or program is stored. For this device the
Program Memory is Flash type, which means it can be programmed and re-programmed a large
number of times, allowing the user the convenience of code modification on the same device.
By using the appropriate programming tools, this Flash device offers users the flexibility to
conveniently debug and develop their applications while also offering a means of field programming
and updating.
Structure
The Program Memory has a capacity of 4K×16 bits. The Program Memory is addressed by the
Program Counter and also contains data, table information and interrupt entries. Table data, which
can be setup in any location within the Program Memory, is addressed by a separate table pointer
register.
Special Vectors
Within the Program Memory, certain locations are reserved for the reset and interrupts. The location
000H is reserved for use by the device reset for program initialisation. After a device reset is
initiated, the program will jump to this location and begin execution.

Program Memory Structure
Look-up Table
Any location within the Program Memory can be defined as a look-up table where programmers can
store fixed data. To use the look-up table, the table pointer must first be setup by placing the address
of the look up data to be retrieved in the table pointer register, TBLP and TBHP. These registers
define the total address of the look-up table.
After setting up the table pointer, the table data can be retrieved from the Program Memory using
the “TABRD[m]” instructions, respectively. When the instruction is executed, the lower order table
byte from the Program Memory will be transferred to the user defined Data Memory register [m]
as specified in the instruction. The higher order table data byte from the Program Memory will be
transferred to the TBLH special register. Any unused bits in this transferred higher order byte will be
read as “0”.
The accompanying diagram illustrates the addressing data flow of the look-up table.

Table Program Example
The following example shows how the table pointer and table data is defined and retrieved from the
microcontroller. This example uses raw table data located in the Program Memory which is stored
there using the ORG statement. The value at this ORG statement is”0F00H” which refers to the start
address of the last page within the 4K Program Memory of the device. The table pointer is setup
here to have an initial value of “06H”. This will ensure that the first data read from the data table
will be at the Program Memory address “0F06H” or 6 locations after the start of the last page. Note
that the value for the table pointer is referenced to the first address of the present page if the “TABRD
[m]” instruction is being used. The high byte of the table data which in this case is equal to zero will
be transferred to the TBLH register automatically when the “TABRD [m]” instruction is executed.
Because the TBLH register is a read-only register and cannot be restored, care should be taken
to ensure its protection if both the main routine and Interrupt Service Routine use table read
instructions. If using the table read instructions, the Interrupt Service Routines may change the
value of the TBLH and subsequently cause errors if used again by the main routine. As a rule it is
recommended that simultaneous use of the table read instructions should be avoided. However, in
situations where simultaneous use cannot be avoided, the interrupts should be disabled prior to the
execution of any main routine table-read instructions. Note that all table related instructions require
two instruction cycles to complete their operation.

In System Programming – ISP
The provision of Flash type Program Memory provides the user with a means of convenient and
easy upgrades and modifications to their programs on the same device.
As an additional convenience, Holtek has provided a means of programming the microcontroller
in-system using a two-line USB interface. This provides manufacturers with the possibility of
manufacturing their circuit boards complete with a programmed or un-programmed microcontroller,
and then programming or upgrading the program at a later stage. This enables product manufacturers
to easily keep their manufactured products supplied with the latest program releases without removal
and re-insertion of the device.
The Program Memory can be programmed serially in-system using the USB interface, namely using
the UDN and UDP pins. The power is supplied by the UBUS pin. The technical details regarding the
in-system programming of the devices are beyond the scope of this document and will be supplied
in supplementary literature. The Flash Program Memory Read/ Write function is implemented using
a series of registers.
Flash Memory Read/Write Page Size
The 32 words page size is assigned for this device. The following diagram illustrates the Read/Write
page and buffer assignment. The write buffer is controlled by the CLWB bit in the FRCR register.
The CLWB bit can be set high to enable the Clear Write Buffer procedure, as the procedure is
finished, this bit will be cleared to low by hardware.
The Write Buffer is filled when the FWEN bit is set to high, when this bit is set high, the data in the
Write buffer will be written to the Flash ROM, the FWT bit is used to indicate the writing procedure.
Setting this bit high and check if the write procedure is finished, this bit will be cleared by hardware.
The Read Byte can be assigned by the address. The FRDEN is used to enable the read function and
the FRD is used to indicate the reading procedure. When the reading procedure is finished, this bit
will be cleared by hardware.

Note: 1. Writing a data into high byte, which means the H/L Data is written into Write Buffer, will
cause the Flash memory address increased by one automatically and the new address will
be loaded to the FARH and FARL registers. However, the user can also fill the new address
by filling the data into FARH and FARL registers in the same page, then the data will be
written into the corresponding address.
2. If the address already reached the boundary of the flash memory, such as 11111b of the 32
words. At this moment, the address will not be increased and the address will stop at the
last address of that page and the writing data is invalid.
3. At this point, the user has to set a new address again to fill a new data.
4. If the data is writing using the write buffer, the write buffer will be cleared by hardware
automatically after the write procedure is ready in 2ms.
5. First time use the Write buffer or renew the data in the Write buffer, the user can use to
Clear buffer bit (CLWB) to clear write buffer.
ISP Bootloader
The devices provide the ISP Bootloader function to upgrade the software in the Flash memory.
The user can select to use the ISP Bootloader application software provided by Holtek IDE tool
or to create the own Bootloader software. When the Holtek Bootloader software is selected, that
will occupy 0.5K words area in the Flash memory. The accopanying diagram illustrates the Flash

Flash Program Memory Registers
There are two address registers, four 16-bit data registers and two control register. The control
register is located in Bank1 and the other registers are located in Bank0. Read and Write operations
to the Flash memory are carried out in 16-bit data operations using the address and data registers
and the control register. Several registers control the overall operation of the internal Flash Program
Memory. The address registers are named FARL and FARH, the data registers are named FDnL
and FDnH, and the control registers are named FCR and FRCR. As the FARL and FDnL registers
are located in Bank 0, they can be directly accessed in the same was as any other Special Function
Register. The FARH, FDnH, FCR and FRCR registers however, being located in Bank1, cannot be
addressed directly and can only be read from or written to indirectly using the MP1 Memory Pointer
and Indirect Addressing Register, IAR1.

In Application Programming – IAP
Offering users the convenience of Flash Memory multi-programming features, the device provides
not only an ISP function, but also an additional IAP function. The convenience of the IAP function
is that it can execute the updated program procedure using its internal firmware, without requiring an
external Program Writer or PC. In addition, the IAP interface can also be any type of communication
protocol, such as UART or CAN, using I/O pins. Designers can assign I/O pins to communicate with
the external memory device, including the updated program. Regarding the internal firmware, the
user can select versions provided by HOLTEK or create their own. The following section illustrates
the procedures regarding how to implement IAP firmware.
Enable Flash Write Control Procedure
The first procedure to implement the IAP firmware is to enable the Flash Write control which
includes the following steps.
• Write data “110” to the Fmod [2:0] bits in the FCR register to enable the Flash write control bit,
FWEN.
• Set the BWT bit in the FCR register to “1”.
• The device will start a 1ms counter. The user should write the correct data pattern into the Flash
data registers, namely FD1L~FD3L and FD1H~FD3H, during this period of time.
• Once the 1ms counter has overflowed or if the written pattern is incorrect, the enable Flash write
control procedure will be invalid and the user should repeat the above procedure.
• No matter whether the procedure is valid or not, the devices will clear the BWT bit automatically.

• The enable Flash write pattern data is (00H 04H 0DH 09H C3H 40H) and it should be written
into the Flash data registers.
• Once the Flash write operation is enabled, the user can update the Flash memory using the Flash
control registers.
• To disable the Flash write procedure, the user can only clear the CFWEN bit in the FCR register.
There is no need to execute the above procedure.

In Circuit Programming – ICP
The provision of Flash type Program Memory provides the user with a means of convenient and
easy upgrades and modifications to their programs on the same device.
As an additional convenience, Holtek has provided a means of programming the microcontroller
incircuit using a 4-pin interface. This provides manufacturers with the possibility of manufacturing
their circuit boards complete with a programmed or un-programmed microcontroller, and then
programming or upgrading the program at a later stage. This enables product manufacturers to easily
keep their manufactured products supplied with the latest program releases without removal and
reinsertion of the device.

The Program Memory can be programmed serially in-circuit using this 4-wire interface. Data
is downloaded and uploaded serially on a single pin with an additional line for the clock. Two
additional lines are required for the power supply and one line for the reset. The technical details
regarding the in-circuit programming of the devices are beyond the scope of this document and will
be supplied in supplementary literature.
During the programming process, user should take control of the UDN and RES pins for data and
clock programming purposes. The user must there take care to ensure that no other outputs are
connected to these two pins.

On-Chip Debug Support – OCDS
There is an EV chip named BC68VB540 which is used to emulate the real MCU device named
BC68FB540. This EV chip device also provides the “On-Chip Debug” function to debug the real
MCU device during development process. The two devices, EV chip and real MCU, are almost
functional compatible except the “On-Chip Debug” function. Users can use the EV chip device
to emulate the real MCU device behaviors by connecting the OCDSDA and OCDSCK pins to the
Holtek HT-IDE development tools. The OCDSDA pin is the OCDS Data/Address input/output pin
while the OCDSCK pin is the OCDS clock input pin. When users use the EV chip for debugging, the
corresponding pin functions shared with the OCDSDA and OCDSCK pins in the real MCU device
will have no effect in the EV chip. For more detailed OCDS information, refer to the corresponding
document named “Holtek e-Link for 8-bit MCU OCDS User’s Guide”.

Data Memory
The Data Memory is a volatile area of 8-bit wide RAM internal memory and is the location where
temporary information is stored.
Structure
Divided into two sections, the first of these is an area of RAM, known as the Special Function Data
Memory. Here are located registers which are necessary for correct operation of the device. Many
of these registers can be read from and written to directly under program control, however, some
remain protected from user manipulation.

Banks
256×8
0: 80H~FFH
1: 80H~FFH
The second area of Data Memory is known as the General Purpose Data Memory, which is reserved
for general purpose use. All locations within this area are read and write accessible under program
control.
The overall Data Memory is subdivided into several banks, the structure of which depends upon
the device chosen. The Special Purpose Data Memory registers are accessible in all banks, with
the exception of the FRCR, FCR, FARH and FDnH registers at address from 40H to 46H, which
are only accessible in Bank 1. Switching between the different Data Memory banks is achieved by
setting the Bank Pointer to the correct value. The start address of the Data Memory for all devices is
the address 00H.

Special Function Register Description
Most of the Special Function Register details will be described in the relevant functional section.
However, several registers require a separate description in this section.
Indirect Addressing Registers – IAR0, IAR1
The Indirect Addressing Registers, IAR0 and IAR1, although having their locations in normal
RAM registers space, do not actually physically exist as normal registers. The method of indirect
addressing for RAM data manipulation uses these Indirect Addressing Registers and Memory
Pointers, in contrast to direct memory addressing, where the actual memory address is specified.
Actions on the IAR0 and IAR1 registers will result in no actual read or write operation to these
registers but rather to the memory location specified by their corresponding Memory Pointers, MP0
or MP1. Acting as a pair, IAR0 and MP0 can together access data only from Bank 0 while the IAR1
and MP1 register pair can access data from any Data Memory bank. As the Indirect Addressing
Registers are not physically implemented, reading the Indirect Addressing Registers indirectly will
return a result of “00H” and writing to the registers indirectly will result in no operation.
Memory Pointer – MP0, MP1
Two Memory Pointers, known as MP0 and MP1 are provided. These Memory Pointers are
physically implemented in the Data Memory and can be manipulated in the same way as normal
registers providing a convenient way with which to address and track data. When any operation to
the relevant Indirect Addressing Registers is carried out, the actual address that the microcontroller
is directed to, is the address specified by the related Memory Pointer. MP0, together with Indirect
Addressing Register, IAR0, are used to access data from Bank 0, while MP1 and IAR1 are used to
access data from all banks according to BP register. Direct Addressing can only be used with Bank 0,
all other Banks must be addressed indirectly using MP1 and IAR1.
The following example shows how to clear a section of four Data Memory locations already defined
as locations adres1 to adres4.

Bank Pointer – BP
Depending upon which device is used, the Program and Data Memory are divided into several
banks. Selecting the required Data Memory area is achieved using the Bank Pointer bits 0.
The Data Memory is initialised to Bank 0 after a reset, except for a WDT time-out reset in the Power
Down Mode, in which case, the Data Memory bank remains unaffected. It should be noted that the
Special Function Data Memory is not affected by the bank selection, which means that the Special
Function Registers can be accessed from within any bank. Directly addressing the Data Memory
will always result in Bank 0 being accessed irrespective of the value of the Bank Pointer. Accessing
data from banks other than Bank 0 must be implemented using indirect addressing.
As both the Program Memory and Data Memory share the same Bank Pointer Register, care must be
taken during programming.

Accumulator – ACC
The Accumulator is central to the operation of any microcontroller and is closely related with
operations carried out by the ALU. The Accumulator is the place where all intermediate results
from the ALU are stored. Without the Accumulator it would be necessary to write the result of
each calculation or logical operation such as addition, subtraction, shift, etc., to the Data Memory
resulting in higher programming and timing overheads. Data transfer operations usually involve
the temporary storage function of the Accumulator; for example, when transferring data between
one user defined register and another, it is necessary to do this by passing the data through the
Accumulator as no direct transfer between two registers is permitted.
Program Counter Low Register – PCL
To provide additional program control functions, the low byte of the Program Counter is made
accessible to programmers by locating it within the Special Purpose area of the Data Memory. By
manipulating this register, direct jumps to other program locations are easily implemented. Loading
a value directly into this PCL register will cause a jump to the specified Program Memory location,
however, as the register is only 8-bit wide, only jumps within the current Program Memory page are
permitted. When such operations are used, note that a dummy cycle will be inserted.
Look-up Table Registers – TBLP, TBHP, TBLH
These three special function registers are used to control operation of the look-up table which is
stored in the Program Memory. TBLP and TBHP are the table pointer and indicates the location
where the table data is located. Their value must be setup before any table read commands are
executed. Their value can be changed, for example using the “INC” or “DEC” instructions, allowing
for easy table data pointing and reading. TBLH is the location where the high order byte of the table
data is stored after a table read data instruction has been executed. Note that the lower order table
data byte is transferred to a user defined location.

Status Register – STATUS
This 8-bit register contains the zero flag (Z), carry flag (C), auxiliary carry flag (AC), overflow flag
(OV), power down flag (PDF), and watchdog time-out flag (TO). These arithmetic/logical operation
and system management flags are used to record the status and operation of the microcontroller.
With the exception of the TO and PDF flags, bits in the status register can be altered by instructions
like most other registers. Any data written into the status register will not change the TO or PDF flag.
In addition, operations related to the status register may give different results due to the different
instruction operations. The TO flag can be affected only by a system power-up, a WDT time-out or
by executing the “CLR WDT” or “HALT” instruction. The PDF flag is affected only by executing
the “HALT” or “CLR WDT” instruction or during a system power-up.
The Z, OV, AC and C flags generally reflect the status of the latest operations.
• C is set if an operation results in a carry during an addition operation or if a borrow does not take
place during a subtraction operation; otherwise C is cleared. C is also affected by a rotate through
carry instruction.
• AC is set if an operation results in a carry out of the low nibbles in addition, or no borrow from
the high nibble into the low nibble in subtraction; otherwise AC is cleared.
• Z is set if the result of an arithmetic or logical operation is zero; otherwise Z is cleared.
• OV is set if an operation results in a carry into the highest-order bit but not a carry out of the
highest-order bit, or vice versa; otherwise OV is cleared.
• PDF is cleared by a system power-up or executing the “CLR WDT” instruction. PDF is set by
executing the “HALT” instruction.
• TO is cleared by a system power-up or executing the “CLR WDT” or “HALT” instruction. TO is
set by a WDT time-out.
In addition, on entering an interrupt sequence or executing a subroutine call, the status register will
not be pushed onto the stack automatically. If the contents of the status registers are important and if
the subroutine can corrupt the status register, precautions must be taken to correctly save it.

Oscillator
Various oscillator types offer the user a wide range of functions according to their various application
requirements. The flexible features of the oscillator functions ensure that the best optimisation can
be achieved in terms of speed and power saving. Oscillator selections and operation are selected
through a combination of configuration options and registers.
Oscillator Overview
In addition to being the source of the main system clock the oscillators also provide clock sources
for the Watchdog Timer. External oscillators requiring some external components as well as fully
integrated internal oscillators, requiring no external components, are provided to form a wide
range of both fast and slow system oscillators. All oscillator options are selected through register
programming. The higher frequency oscillators provide higher performance but carry with it the
disadvantage of higher power requirements, while the opposite is of course true for the lower
frequency oscillators. With the capability of dynamically switching between fast and slow system
clock, the device has the flexibility to optimize the performance/power ratio, a feature especially
important in power sensitive portable applications.

Oscillator Types
Note: For USB applications, HXT must be connected a 6MHz or 12MHz crystal.
System Clock Configurations
There are several oscillator sources, two high speed oscillators and one low speed oscillator.
The high speed system clocks are sourced from the external crystal/ ceramic oscillator, the PLL
frequency generator and the internal 12MHz RC oscillator. The low speed oscillator is the internal
32 kHz RC oscillator. Selecting whether the low or high speed oscillator is used as the system
oscillator is implemented using the HLCLK bit and CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SMOD register and
as the system clock can be dynamically selected. The actual source clock used for each of the high
speed oscillators is chosen via configuration options. The frequency of the slow speed or high speed
system clock is also determined using the HLCLK bit and CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SMOD register.
Note that two oscillator selections must be made namely one high speed and one low speed system
oscillators. It is not possible to choose a no-oscillator selection for either the high or low speed
oscillator. In addition, the internal PLL frequency generator, whose clock source is supplied by an
external crystal oscillator, can be enabled by a software control bit to generate various frequencies
for the USB interface and system clock.

System Clock Configurations
External Crystal Oscillator – HXT
The External Crystal/Ceramic System Oscillator is the high frequency oscillator, which is the
default oscillator clock source after power on. For most crystal oscillator configurations, the simple
connection of a crystal across OSC1 and OSC2 will create the necessary phase shift and feedback for
oscillation, without requiring external capacitors. However, for some crystal types and frequencies,
to ensure oscillation, it may be necessary to add two small value capacitors, C1 and C2. Using a
ceramic resonator will usually require two small value capacitors, C1 and C2, to be connected as
shown for oscillation to occur. The values of C1 and C2 should be selected in consultation with the
crystal or resonator manufacturer’s specification.
For oscillator stability and to minimise the effects of noise and crosstalk, it is important to ensure
that the crystal and any associated resistors and capacitors along with interconnecting lines are all
located as close to the MCU as possible.

Internal PLL Frequency Generator
The internal PLL frequency generator is used to generate the frequency for the USB interface and
the system clock. This PLL generator can be enabled or disabled by the PLL control bit in the USC
register. After a power on reset, the PLL control bit will be set to “0” to turn on the PLL generator.
The PLL generator will provide the fixed 48MHz frequency for the USB operating frequency
and another frequency for the system clock source which can be 6MHz, 12MHz or 16MHz. The
selection of this system frequency is implemented using the SYSCLK, Fsys16MHZ, and USBCKEN
bits in the UCC register. In addition, the system clock can be selected as the HXT via these control
bits. The CLK_ADJ bit is used to adjust the PLL clock automatically.

Internal High Speed RC Oscillator – HIRC
The internal RC oscillator is a fully integrated system oscillator requiring no external components.
The internal RC oscillator has a fixed frequency of 12MHz. Device trimming during the
manufacturing process and the inclusion of internal frequency compensation circuits are used to
ensure that the influence of the power supply voltage, temperature and process variations on the
oscillation frequency are minimised. As a result, at a power supply of either 3.3V or 5V and at a
temperature of 25 degrees, the fixed oscillation frequency of 12MHz will have a tolerance within 3%
(Non-USB mode). Note that if this internal system clock option is selected, as it requires no external
pins for its operation, I/O pins PA1 and PA2 are free for use as normal I/O pins. The HIRC has its
own power supply pin, HVDD. The HVDD pin must be connected to VDD and an 0.1mF capacitor
to ground.
Internal Low Speed 32kHz RC Oscillator – LIRC
The Internal 32kHz System Oscillator is a fully integrated RC oscillator with a typical frequency
of 32kHz at 5V, requiring no external components for its implementation. Device trimming during
the manufacturing process and the inclusion of internal frequency compensation circuits are used
to ensure that the influence of the power supply voltage, temperature and process variations on the
oscillation frequency are minimised. As a result, at a power supply of 5V and at a temperature of 25
degrees, the fixed oscillation frequency of 32kHz will have a tolerance within 10%.
Supplementary Internal Clocks
The low speed oscillator, in addition to providing a system clock source is also used to provide a
clock source, namely fSUB, to the Watchdog Timer Circuit.

Operating Modes and System Clocks
Present day applications require that their microcontrollers have high performance but often still
demand that they consume as little power as possible, conflicting requirements that are especially
true in battery powered portable applications. The fast clocks required for high performance will
by their nature increase current consumption and of course vice versa, lower speed clocks reduce
current consumption. As Holtek has provided these devices with both high and low speed clock
sources and the means to switch between them dynamically, the user can optimise the operation of
their microcontroller to achieve the best performance/power ratio.
System Clocks
The device has many different clock sources for both the CPU and peripheral function operation.
By providing the user with a wide range of clock options using configuration options and register
programming, a clock system can be configured to obtain maximum application performance. The
main system clock, can come from either a high frequency, fH, or low frequency, fL, source, and is
selected using the HLCLK bit and CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SMOD register. The high speed system
clock can be sourced from either a HXT or HIRC oscillator, selected via a configuration option. The
low speed system clock source can be provided by internal clock fL, sourced by the LIRC oscillator.
The other choice, which is a divided version of the high speed system oscillator has a range of
fH/2~fH/64. The fSUB clock is used as the clock source for the Watchdog timer.

Note: When the system clock source fSYS is switched to fL from fH, the high speed oscillatoion will stop to conserve
the power. Therefore there is no fH~fH/64 clock for peripheral circuit to use.
System Operation Modes
There are six different modes of operation for the microcontroller, each one with its own
special characteristics and which can be chosen according to the specific performance and
power requirements of the application. There are two modes allowing normal operation of the
microcontroller, the NORMAL Mode and SLOW Mode. The remaining four modes, the SLEEP0,
SLEEP1, IDLE0 and IDLE1 Mode are used when the microcontroller CPU is switched off to
conserve power.

NORMAL Mode
As the name suggests this is one of the main operating modes where the microcontroller has all of
its functions operational and where the system clock is provided by one of the high speed oscillators.
This mode operates allowing the microcontroller to operate normally with a clock source will come
from one of the high speed oscillators, either the HXT or HIRC oscillators. The high speed oscillator
will however first be divided by a ratio ranging from 1 to 64, the actual ratio being selected by the
CKS2~CKS0 and HLCLK bits in the SMOD register. Although a high speed oscillator is used,
running the microcontroller at a divided clock ratio reduces the operating current.
SLOW Mode
This is also a mode where the microcontroller operates normally although now with a slower speed
clock source. The clock source is provided by the LIRC. Running the microcontroller in this mode
allows it to run with much lower operating currents. In the SLOW Mode, the fH is off.
IDLE0 Mode
The IDLE0 Mode is entered when a HALT instruction is executed and when the IDLEN bit in the
SMOD register is high and the FSYSON bit in the CTRL register is low. In the IDLE0 Mode the
system oscillator will be inhibited from driving the CPU but some peripheral functions will remain
operational such as the Watchdog Timer, TMs and SIM. In the IDLE0 Mode, the system oscillator
will be stopped. In the IDLE0 Mode the Watchdog Timer clock, fSUB, will be on.
IDLE1 Mode
The IDLE1 Mode is entered when an HALT instruction is executed and when the IDLEN bit in
the SMOD register is high and the FSYSON bit in the CTRL register is high. In the IDLE1 Mode
the system oscillator will be inhibited from driving the CPU but may continue to provide a clock
source to keep some peripheral functions operational such as the Watchdog Timer, TMs and SIM. In
the IDLE1 Mode, the system oscillator will continue to run, and this system oscillator may be high
speed or low speed system oscillator. In the IDLE1 Mode the Watchdog Timer clock, fSUB, will be
on.
SLEEP0 Mode
The SLEEP0 Mode is enteredwhen an HALT instruction is executed and when the IDLEN bit in
the SMOD register is low. In the SLEEP0 mode the CPU will be stopped, and the fL clock will be
stopped too, and the Watchdog Timer function is disabled. In this mode, the LVDEN is must set to “0”.
If the LVDEN is set to “1”, it won’t enter the SLEEP0 Mode.
SLEEP1 Mode
The SLEEP1 Mode is entered when an HALT instruction is executed and when the IDLEN bit in the
SMOD register is low. In the SLEEP1 mode the CPU will be stopped. However, the fSUB clock will
continue to operate if the LVDEN is “1” or the Watchdog Timer function is enabled.

These three bits are used to select which clock is used as the system clock source. In
addition to the system clock source, which can be the LIRC, a divided version of the
high speed system oscillator can also be chosen as the system clock source.
Bit 4FSTEN: Fast Wake-up Control (only for HXT)
0: Disable
1: Enable
This is the Fast Wake-up Control bit which determines if the fL clock source is initially
used after the device wakes up. When the bit is high, the fL clock source can be used as
a temporary system clock to provide a faster wake up time as the fL clock is available.
Bit 3LTO: Low speed system oscillator ready flag
0: Not ready
1: Ready
This is the low speed system oscillator ready flag which indicates when the low speed
system oscillator is stable after power on reset or a wake-up has occurred. The flag
will be low when in the SLEEP0 Mode but after a wake-up has occurred, the flag will
change to a high level after 1~2 clock cycles if the LIRC oscillator is used.
Bit 2HTO: High speed system oscillator ready flag
0: Not ready
1: Ready
This is the high speed system oscillator ready flag which indicates when the high speed
system oscillator is stable. This flag is cleared to “0” by hardware when the device is
powered on and then changes to a high level after the high speed system oscillator is
stable. Therefore this flag will always be read as “1” by the application program after
device power-on. The flag will be low when in the SLEEP or IDLE0 Mode but after
a wake-up has occurred, the flag will change to a high level after 1024 clock cycles if
the HXT oscillator is used and after 1024 clock cycles if the HIRC oscillator is used.
Bit 1IDLEN: IDLE Mode control
0: Disable
1: Enable
This is the IDLE Mode Control bit and determines what happens when the HALT
instruction is executed. If this bit is high, when a HALT instruction is executed the
device will enter the IDLE Mode. In the IDLE1 Mode the CPU will stop running
but the system clock will continue to keep the peripheral functions operational, if
FSYSON bit is high. If FSYSON bit is low, the CPU and the system clock will all stop
in IDLE0 mode. If the bit is low the device will enter the SLEEP Mode when a HALT
instruction is executed.

to the fL clock and the fH clock will be automatically switched off to conserve power.
Fast Wake-up
To minimise power consumption the device can enter the SLEEP or IDLE0 Mode, where the system
clock source to the device will be stopped. However when the device is woken up again, it can take
a considerable time for the original system oscillator to restart, stabilise and allow normal operation
to resume. To ensure the device is up and running as fast as possible a Fast Wake-up function is
provided, which allows fSUB, namely the LIRC oscillator, to act as a temporary clock to first drive
the system until the original system oscillator has stabilised. As the clock source for the Fast Wakeup function is fSUB, the Fast Wake-up function is only available in the SLEEP1 and IDLE0 modes.
When the device is woken up from the SLEEP0 mode, the Fast Wake-up function has no effect
because the fSUB clock is stopped. The Fast Wake-up enable/disable function is controlled using the
FSTEN bit in the SMOD register.
If the HXT oscillator is selected as the NORMAL Mode system clock, and if the Fast Wake-up
function is enabled, then it will take one to two tSUB clock cycles of the LIRC oscillator for the
system to wake-up. The system will then initially run under the fSUB clock source until 1024 HXT
clock cycles have elapsed, at which point the HTO flag will switch high and the system will switch
over to operating from the HXT oscillator.
If the HIRC oscillator or LIRC oscillator is used as the system oscillator then it will take 1024 clock
cycles of the HIRC or 1~2 cycles of the LIRC to wake up the system from the SLEEP or IDLE0
Mode. The Fast Wake-up bit, FSTEN will have no effect in these cases.
Note that if the Watchdog Timer is disabled, which means that the LIRC is off, then there will be no
Fast Wake-up function available when the device wakes-up from the SLEEP0 Mode.

­ €    Operating Mode Switching
The device can switch between operating modes dynamically allowing the user to select the best
performance/power ratio for the present task in hand. In this way microcontroller operations that
do not require high performance can be executed using slower clocks thus requiring less operating
current and prolonging battery life in portable applications.
In simple terms, Mode Switching between the NORMAL Mode and SLOW Mode is executed
using the HLCLK bit and CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SMOD register while Mode Switching from the
NORMAL/SLOW Modes to the SLEEP/IDLE Modes is executed via the HALT instruction. When
a HALT instruction is executed, whether the device enters the IDLE Mode or the SLEEP Mode is
determined by the condition of the IDLEN bit in the SMOD register and FSYSON in the CTRL
register.
When the HLCLK bit switches to a low level, which implies that clock source is switched from the
high speed clock source, fH, to the clock source, fH/2~fH/64 or fL. If the clock is from the fL, the high
speed clock source will stop running to conserve power. When this happens it must be noted that the
fH/16 and fH/64 internal clock sources will also stop running, which may affect the operation of other
internal functions such as the TMs and the SIM. The accompanying flowchart shows what happens
when the device moves between the various operating modes.

NORMAL Mode to SLOW Mode Switching
When running in the NORMAL Mode, which uses the high speed system oscillator, and therefore
consumes more power, the system clock can switch to run in the SLOW Mode by set the HLCLK bit
to “0” and set the CKS2~CKS0 bits to “000” or “001” in the SMOD register. This will then use the
low speed system oscillator which will consume less power. Users may decide to do this for certain
operations which do not require high performance and can subsequently reduce power consumption.
The SLOW Mode is sourced from the LIRC oscillator and therefore requires these oscillators to be
stable before full mode switching occurs. This is monitored using the LTO bit in the SMOD register.

SLOW Mode to NORMAL Mode Switching
In SLOW Mode the system uses the LIRC low speed system oscillator. To switch back to the
NORMAL Mode, where the high speed system oscillator is used, the HLCLK bit should be set to
“1” or HLCLK bit is “0”, but CKS2~CKS0 is set to “010”, “011”, “100”, “101”, “110”or “111”.
As a certain amount of time will be required for the high frequency clock to stabilise, the status of
the HTO bit is checked. The amount of time required for high speed system oscillator stabilization
depends upon which high speed system oscillator type is used.

Standby Current Considerations
As the main reason for entering the SLEEP or IDLE Mode is to keep the current consumption of the
device to as low a value as possible, perhaps only in the order of several micro-amps except in the
IDLE1 Mode, there are other considerations which must also be taken into account by the circuit
designer if the power consumption is to be minimised. Special attention must be made to the I/O pins
on the device. All high-impedance input pins must be connected to either a fixed high or low level as
any floating input pins could create internal oscillations and result in increased current consumption.
This also applies to devices which have different package types, as there may be unbonded pins.
These must either be setup as outputs or if setup as inputs must have pull-high resistors connected.
Care must also be taken with the loads, which are connected to I/O pins, which are setup as outputs.
These should be placed in a condition in which minimum current is drawn or connected only to
external circuits that do not draw current, such as other CMOS inputs. Also note that additional
standby current will also be required if the LIRC oscillator is enabled.
In the IDLE1 Mode the system oscillator is on, if the system oscillator is from the high speed
system oscillator, the additional standby current will also be perhaps in the order of several hundred
microamps.
Wake-up
After the system enters the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, it can be woken up from one of various sources
listed as follows:
• An external or USB reset
• An external rising or falling edge on PA and a falling edge on PB~PE, except for PE1
• A system interrupt
• A WDT overflow
If the system is woken up by an external or USB reset, the device will experience a full system reset,
however, if the device is woken up by a WDT overflow, a Watchdog Timer reset will be initiated.
Although both of these wake-up methods will initiate a reset operation, the actual source of the
wake-up can be determined by examining the TO and PDF flags. The PDF flag is cleared by a
system power-up or executing the clear Watchdog Timer instructions and is set when executing the
“HALT” instruction. The TO flag is set if a WDT time-out occurs, and causes a wake-up that only
resets the Program Counter and Stack Pointer, the other flags remain in their original status.
Each pin on Ports can be setup using the PAWU and PXWU registers to permit a negative transition
on the pin to wake-up the system. When a Port pin wake-up occurs, the program will resume
execution at the instruction following the “HALT” instruction. If the system is woken up by an
interrupt, then two possible situations may occur. The first is where the related interrupt is disabled
or the interrupt is enabled but the stack is full, in which case the program will resume execution at
the instruction following the “HALT” instruction. In this situation, the interrupt which woke-up the
device will not be immediately serviced, but will rather be serviced later when the related interrupt is
finally enabled or when a stack level becomes free. The other situation is where the related interrupt
is enabled and the stack is not full, in which case the regular interrupt response takes place. If an
interrupt request flag is set high before entering the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, the wake-up function of
the related interrupt will be disabled.

Programming Considerations
• If the device is woken up from the SLEEP0 Mode to the NORMAL Mode, the high speed system
oscillator needs an SST period. The device will execute first instruction after HTO is “1”.
• If the device is woken up from the SLEEP1 Mode to NORMAL Mode, and the system clock
source is from HXT oscillator and FSTEN is “1”, the system clock can be switched to the LIRC
oscillator after wake up.
• There are peripheral functions, such as WDT, TMs and SIM, for which the fSYS is used. If the
system clock source is switched from fH to fL, the clock source to the peripheral functions
mentioned above will change accordingly.
• The on/off condition of fSUB depends upon whether the WDT is enabled or disabled as the WDT
clock source is generated from fSUB.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is provided to prevent program malfunctions or sequences from jumping to
unknown locations, due to certain uncontrollable external events such as electrical noise.
Watchdog Timer Clock Source
The Watchdog Timer clock source is provided by the internal clock, fSUB, which is sourced from the
LIRC oscillator. The Watchdog Timer source clock is then subdivided by a ratio of 28 to 218 to give
longer timeouts, the actual value being chosen using the WS2~WS0 bits in the WDTC register. The
LIRC internal oscillator has an approximate period of 32kHz at a supply voltage of 5V.
However, it should be noted that this specified internal clock period can vary with VDD, temperature
and process variations. The WDT function is allowed to enable or disable by setting the WDTC
register data.
Watchdog Timer Control Register
A single register, WDTC, controls the required timeout period as well as the enable/disable
operation. The WRF software reset flag will be indicated in the CTRL register.

Watchdog Timer Operation
The Watchdog Timer operates by providing a device reset when its timer overflows. This means
that in the application program and during normal operation the user has to strategically clear the
Watchdog Timer before it overflows to prevent the Watchdog Timer from executing a reset. This is
done using the clear watchdog instructions. If the program malfunctions for whatever reason, jumps
to an unknown location, or enters an endless loop, these clear instructions will not be executed in the
correct manner, in which case the Watchdog Timer will overflow and reset the device. With regard
to the Watchdog Timer enable/disable function, there are also five bits, WE4~WE0, in the WDTC
register to offer additional enable/disable and reset control of the Watchdog Timer.

Watchdog Timer Enable/Disable Control
Under normal program operation, a Watchdog Timer time-out will initialise a device reset and set
the status bit TO. However, if the system is in the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, when a Watchdog Timer
time-out occurs, the TO bit in the status register will be set and only the Program Counter and Stack
Pointer will be reset. Three methods can be adopted to clear the Watchdog Timer contents. The first
is a WDT reset, which means a value other than 01010B or 10101B is written into the WE4~WE0
bit locations, the second is to use the Watchdog Timer software clear instructions and the third is via
a HALT instruction. There is only one method of using software instruction to clear the Watchdog
Timer and that is to use the single “CLR WDT” instruction to clear the WDT.
The maximum time out period is when the 218 division ratio is selected. As an example, with a
32kHz LIRC oscillator as its source clock, this will give a maximum watchdog period of around 8
second for the 218 division ratio, and a minimum timeout of 7.8ms for the 28 division ration.

Reset and Initialisation
A reset function is a fundamental part of any microcontroller ensuring that the device can be set to
some predetermined condition irrespective of outside parameters. A hardware reset will of course
be automatically implemented after the device is powered-on, however there are a number of other
hardware and software reset sources that can be implemented dynamically when the device is
running.
Reset Overview
The most important reset condition is after power is first applied to the microcontroller. In this case,
internal circuitry will ensure that the microcontroller, after a short delay, will be in a well defined
state and ready to execute the first program instruction. After this power-on reset, certain important
internal registers will be set to defined states before the program instructions commence execution.
One of these registers is the Program Counter, which will be reset to zero forcing the microcontroller
to begin program execution from the lowest Program Memory address.
The devices provide several reset sources to generate the internal reset signal, providing extended
MCU protection. The different types of resets are listed in the accompanying table.

Reset Souce Summary
In addition to the power-on reset, situations may arise where it is necessary to forcefully apply a
reset condition when the microcontroller is running. One example of this is where after power has
been applied and the microcontroller is already running, the RES line is forcefully pulled low. In
such a case, known as a normal operation reset, some of the registers remain unchanged allowing
the microcontroller to proceed with normal operation after the reset line is allowed to return high.
Another type of reset is when the Watchdog Timer overflows and resets the microcontroller. All
types of reset operations result in different register conditions being setup. Another reset exists in
the form of a Low Voltage Reset, LVR, where a full reset, similar to the RES reset is implemented in
situations where the power supply voltage falls below a certain threshold.

Reset Functions
There are several ways in which a microcontroller reset can occur, through events occurring both
internally and externally:
Power-on Reset
The most fundamental and unavoidable reset is the one that occurs after power is first applied to
the microcontroller. As well as ensuring that the Program Memory begins execution from the first
memory address, a power-on reset also ensures that certain other registers are preset to known
conditions. All the I/O port and port control registers will power up in a high condition ensuring that
all pins will be first set to inputs.
Note: tRSTD is power-on delay, typical time= 50ms
Power-on Reset Timing Chart
RES Pin
Although the microcontroller has an internal RC reset function, if the VDD power supply rise time
is not fast enough or does not stabilise quickly at power-on, the internal reset function may be
incapable of providing proper reset operation. For this reason it is recommended that an external
RC network is connected to the RES pin, whose additional time delay will ensure that the RES
pin remains low for an extended period to allow the power supply to stabilise. During this time
delay, normal operation of the microcontroller will be inhibited. After the RES line reaches a certain
voltage value, the reset delay time tRSTD is invoked to provide an extra delay time after which the
microcontroller will begin normal operation. The abbreviation SST in the figures stands for System
Start-up Timer.
For most applications a resistor connected between VDD and the RES pin and a capacitor connected
between VSS and the RES pin will provide a suitable external reset circuit. Any wiring connected to
the RES pin should be kept as short as possible to minimise any stray noise interference.
For applications that operate within an environment where more noise is present the Enhanced Reset
Circuit shown is recommended.
Note: "*" It is recommended that this component is added for added ESD protection
"**" It is recommended that this component is added in environments where power line noise
is significant.

More information regarding external reset circuits is located in Application Note HA0075E on the
Holtek website.
Pulling the RES Pin low using external hardware will also execute a device reset. In this case, as in
the case of other resets, the Program Counter will reset to zero and program execution initiated from
this point.
Note: tRSTD is power-on delay, typical time= 16.7ms
RES Reset Timing Chart
Low Voltage Reset – LVR
The microcontroller contains a low voltage reset circuit in order to monitor the supply voltage of the
device and provide an MCU reset should the value fall below a certain predefined level. The LVR
function is always enabled with a specific LVR voltage VLVR. If the supply voltage of the device
drops to within a range of 0.9V~VLVR such as might occur when changing the battery in battery
powered applications, the LVR will automatically reset the device internally and the LVRF bit in
the CTRL register will also be set to 1. For a valid LVR signal, a low supply voltage, i.e., a voltage
in the range between 0.9V~VLVR must exist for a time greater than that specified by tLVR in the A.C.
characteristics. If the low supply voltage state does not exceed this value, the LVR will ignore the
low supply voltage and will not perform a reset function. The actual VLVR value can be selected by
the LVS bits in the LVRC register. If the LVS7~LVS0 bits are changed to some different values by
environmental noise, the LVR will reset the device after 2~3 LIRC clock cycles. When this happens,
the LRF bit in the CTRL register will be set to 1. After power on the register will have the value of
01010101B. Note that the LVR function will be automatically disabled when the device enters the
power down mode.

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
Input/Output Ports
Holtek microcontrollers offer considerable flexibility on their I/O ports. With the input or output
designation of every pin fully under user program control, pull-high selections for all ports and
wake-up selections on certain pins, the user is provided with an I/O structure to meet the needs of a
wide range of application possibilities.
The device provides bidirectional input/output lines labeled with port names PA, PB and PE.
However, only the I/O lines on Port A are bonded to the external pins. These I/O ports are mapped
to the RAM Data Memory with specific addresses as shown in the Special Purpose Data Memory
table. All of these I/O ports can be used for input and output operations. For input operation, these
ports are non-latching, which means the inputs must be ready at the T2 rising edge of instruction
“MOV A, [m]”, where m denotes the port address. For output operation, all the data is latched and
remains unchanged until the output latch is rewritten.

Pull-high Resistors
Many product applications require pull-high resistors for their switch inputs usually requiring the
use of an external resistor. To eliminate the need for these external resistors, all I/O pins, when
configured as an input have the capability of being connected to an internal pull-high resistor. These
pull-high resistors are selected using registers, namely PAPU and PXPU, and are implemented using
weak PMOS transistors. Note that the PA pull-high resistors are controlled by bits in the PAPU
register, other than the PB and PE pull-high resistors are controlled by nibble in the PXPU register.

Port Wake-up
The HALT instruction forces the microcontroller into the SLEEP or IDLE Mode which preserves
power, a feature that is important for battery and other low-power applications. Various methods
exist to wake-up the microcontroller, one of which is to change the logic condition on one of the I/O
pins from high to low. This function is especially suitable for applications that can be woken up via
external switches. Each pin on I/O Port can be selected by bits or nibble to have this wake-up feature
using the PAWU and PXWU registers.

I/O Port Control Registers
Each I/O port has its own control register known as PAC, PBC and PEC, to control the input/
output configuration. With this control register, each CMOS output or input can be reconfigured
dynamically under software control. Each pin of the I/O ports is directly mapped to a bit in its
associated port control register. For the I/O pin to function as an input, the corresponding bit of the
control register must be written as a “1”. This will then allow the logic state of the input pin to be
directly read by instructions. When the corresponding bit of the control register is written as a “0”,
the I/O pin will be setup as a CMOS output. If the pin is currently setup as an output, instructions
can still be used to read the output register. However, it should be noted that the program will in fact
only read the status of the output data latch and not the actual logic status of the output pin.

I/O Pin Structures
The accompanying diagrams illustrate the internal structures of some generic I/O pin types. As
the exact logical construction of the I/O pin will differ from these drawings, they are supplied as a
guide only to assist with the functional understanding of the I/O pins. The wide range of pin-shared
structures does not permit all types to be shown.
    
 Generic Input/Output Structure
Programming Considerations
Within the user program, one of the first things to consider is port initialisation. After a reset, all of
the I/O data and port control registers will be set high. This means that all I/O pins will default to
an input state, the level of which depends on the other connected circuitry and whether pull-high
selections have been chosen. If the port control registers are then programmed to setup some
pins as outputs, these output pins will have an initial high output value unless the associated port
data registers are first programmed. Selecting which pins are inputs and which are outputs can be
achieved byte-wide by loading the correct values into the appropriate port control register or by
programming individual bits in the port control register using the “SET [m].i” and “CLR [m].i”
instructions. Note that when using these bit control instructions, a read-modify-write operation takes
place. The microcontroller must first read in the data on the entire port, modify it to the required new
bit values and then rewrite this data back to the output ports.
All Ports provide the wake-up function which can be set by individual pin in the Port A while it has
to be set by nibble pins in the Port B and Port E. When the device is in the SLEEP or IDLE Mode,
various methods are available to wake the device up. One of these is a voltage level transition on
any of the Port pins. Single or multiple pins on Ports can be setup to have this function.

Timer Modules – TM
One of the most fundamental functions in any microcontroller device is the ability to control and
measure time. To implement time related functions the device includes several Timer Modules,
abbreviated to the name TM. The TMs are multi-purpose timing units and serve to provide
operations such as Timer/Counter, Input Capture, Compare Match Output and Single Pulse Output
as well as being the functional unit for the generation of PWM signals. Each of the TMs has two
individual interrupts. The addition of input and output pins for each TM ensures that users are
provided with timing units with a wide and flexible range of features.
The common features of the different TM types are described here with more detailed information
provided in the individual Compact and Standard TM sections.
Introduction
The device contains four TMs having a reference name of TM0, TM1, TM2 and TM3. Each
individual TM can be categorised as a certain type, namely Compact Type TM or Standard Type
TM. Although similar in nature, the different TM types vary in their feature complexity. The
common features to all of the Compact and Standard TMs will be described in this section. The
detailed operation regarding each of the TM types will be described in separate sections. The main
features and differences between the two types of TMs are summarised in the accompanying table.

TM Operation
The different types of TM offer a diverse range of functions, from simple timing operations to
PWM signal generation. The key to understanding how the TM operates is to see it in terms of
a free running counter whose value is then compared with the value of pre-programmed internal
comparators. When the free running counter has the same value as the pre-programmed comparator,
known as a compare match situation, a TM interrupt signal will be generated which can clear the
counter and perhaps also change the condition of the TM output pin. The internal TM counter is
driven by a user selectable clock source, which can be an internal clock or an external pin.

TM Clock Source
The clock source which drives the main counter in each TM can originate from various sources.
The selection of the required clock source is implemented using the TnCK2~TnCK0 bits in the TM
control registers. The clock source can be a ratio of either the system clock fSYS or the internal high
clock fH, the fL clock source or the external TCKn pin. Note that setting these bits to the value 101
will select an undefined clock input, in effect disconnecting the TM clock source. The TCKn pin
clock source is used to allow an external signal to drive the TM as an external clock source or for
event counting.
TM Interrupts
The Compact and Standard type TMs each have two internal interrupts, one for each of the internal
comparator A or comparator P, which generate a TM interrupt when a compare match condition
occurs. When a TM interrupt is generated it can be used to clear the counter and also to change the
state of the TM output pin.
TM External Pins
Each of the TMs, irrespective of what type, has one TM input pin, with the label TCKn. The TM
input pin, is essentially a clock source for the TM and is selected using the TnCK2~TnCK0 bits in
the TMnC0 register. This external TM input pin allows an external clock source to drive the internal
TM. This external TM input pin is shared with other functions but will be connected to the internal
TM if selected using the TnCK2~TnCK0 bits. The TM input pin can be chosen to have either a
rising or falling active edge.
The TMs each have two output pins with the label TPn. When the TM is in the Compare Match
Output Mode, these pins can be controlled by the TM to switch to a high or low level or to toggle
when a compare match situation occurs. The external TPn output pin is also the pin where the TM
generates the PWM output waveform. As the TM output pins are pin-shared with other function, the
TM output function must first be setup using registers. A single bit in one of the registers determines
if its associated pin is to be used as an external TM output pin or if it is to have another function.
The number of output pins for each TM type in this device is different, the details are provided in
the accompanying table.
All TM output pin names have a “_n” suffix. Pin names that include a “_0” or “_1” suffix indicate
that they are from a TM with multiple output pins. This allows the TM to generate a complimentary
output pair, selected using the I/O register data bits.

Selecting to have a TM input/output or whether to retain its other shared function is implemented
using two registers, with a single bit in each register corresponding to a TM input/output pin. Setting
the bit high will setup the corresponding pin as a TM input/output, if reset to zero the pin will retain
its original other function.

Programming Considerations
The TM Counter Registers and the Capture/Compare CCRA register, being either 10-bit or 16- bit,
all have a low and high byte structure. The high bytes can be directly accessed, but as the low bytes
can only be accessed via an internal 8-bit buffer, reading or writing to these register pairs must be
carried out in a specific way. The important point to note is that data transfer to and from the 8-bit
buffer and its related low byte only takes place when a write or read operation to its corresponding
high byte is executed.
 As the CCRA register implemented in the way shown in the following diagram and accessing these
register pairs is carried out in a specific way described above, it is recommended to use the “MOV”
instruction to access the CCRA low byte register, named TMxAL, using the following access
procedures. Accessing the CCRA low byte register without following these access procedures will
result in unpredictable values.
The following steps show the read and write procedures:
• Writing Data to CCRA
Rev. 1.10
♦♦
Step 1. Write data to Low Byte TMxAL
––note that here data is only written to the 8-bit buffer.
♦♦
Step 2. Write data to High Byte TMxAH
––here data is written directly to the high byte registers and simultaneously data is latched
from the 8-bit buffer to the Low Byte registers.

• Reading Data from the Counter Registers and CCRA
♦♦
Step 1. Read data from the High Byte TMxDH or TMxAH
––here data is read directly from the high byte registers and simultaneously data is latched
from the Low Byte register into the 8-bit buffer.
♦♦
Step 2. Read data from the Low Byte TMxDL or TMxAL
––this step reads data from the 8-bit buffer.
Compact Type TM – CTM
Although the simplest form of the two TM types, the Compact TM type still contains three operating
modes, which are Compare Match Output, Timer/Event Counter and PWM Output modes. The
Compact TM can also be controlled with an external input pin and can drive two external output
pins. These two external output pins can be the same signal or the inverse signal.

Compact Type TM Operation
At its core is a 10-bit count-up counter which is driven by a user selectable internal or external clock
source. There are also two internal comparators with the names, Comparator A and Comparator
P. These comparators will compare the value in the counter with CCRP and CCRA registers. The
CCRP is three bits wide whose value is compared with the highest three bits in the counter while the
CCRA is the ten bits and therefore compares with all counter bits.
The only way of changing the value of the 10-bit counter using the application program, is to
clear the counter by changing the TnON bit from low to high. The counter will also be cleared
automatically by a counter overflow or a compare match with one of its associated comparators.
When these conditions occur, a TM interrupt signal will also usually be generated. The Compact
Type TM can operate in a number of different operational modes, can be driven by different clock
sources including an input pin and can also control an output pin. All operating setup conditions are
selected using relevant internal registers.

Compact Type TM Register Description
Overall operation of the Compact TM is controlled using six registers. A read only register pair
exists to store the internal counter 10-bit value, while a read/write register pair exists to store the
internal 10-bit CCRA value. The remaining two registers are control registers which setup the
different operating and control modes as well as the three CCRP bits.

Bit 7TnPAU: TMn Counter Pause control
0: Run
1: Pause
The counter can be paused by setting this bit high. Clearing the bit to zero restores
normal counter operation. When in a Pause condition the TM will remain powered up
and continue to consume power. The counter will retain its residual value when this bit
changes from low to high and resume counting from this value when the bit changes
to a low value again.

100: fL
101: Undefined
110: TCKn rising edge clock
111: TCKn falling edge clock
These three bits are used to select the clock source for the TMn. Selecting the
Reserved clock input will effectively disable the internal counter. The external pin
clock source can be chosen to be active on the rising or falling edge. The clock source
fSYS is the system clock, while fH and fL are other internal clocks, the details of which
can be found in the oscillator section.
Bit 3TnON: TMn Counter On/Off control
0: Off
1: On
This bit controls the overall on/off function of the TMn. Setting the bit high enables
the counter to run while clearing the bit disables the TMn. Clearing this bit to zero
will stop the counter from counting and turn off the TMn which will reduce its power
consumption. When the bit changes state from low to high the internal counter value
will be reset to zero, however when the bit changes from high to low, the internal
counter will retain its residual value until the bit returns high again. If the TMn is in
the Compare Match Output Mode then the TMn output pin will be reset to its initial
condition, as specified by the TnOC bit, when the TnON bit changes from low to high.

These three bits are used to setup the value on the internal CCRP 3-bit register, which
are then compared with the internal counter’s highest three bits. The result of this
comparison can be selected to clear the internal counter if the TnCCLR bit is set to
zero. Setting the TnCCLR bit to zero ensures that a compare match with the CCRP
values will reset the internal counter. As the CCRP bits are only compared with the
highest three counter bits, the compare values exist in 128 clock cycle multiples.
Clearing all three bits to zero is in effect allowing the counter to overflow at its
maximum value.

These two bits are used to determine how the TMn output pin changes state when a
certain condition is reached. The function that these bits select depends upon in which
mode the TMn is running.

In the Compare Match Output Mode, the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits determine how the
TMn output pin changes state when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A.
The TMn output pin can be setup to switch high, switch low or to toggle its present
state when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A. When the bits are both
zero, then no change will take place on the output. The initial value of the TMn output
pin should be setup using the TnOC bit in the TMnC1 register. Note that the output
level requested by the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits must be different from the initial value
setup using the TnOC bit otherwise no change will occur on the TMn output pin when
a compare match occurs. After the TMn output pin changes state it can be reset to its
initial level by changing the level of the TnON bit from low to high.
In the PWM Mode, the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits determine how the TM output pin
changes state when a certain compare match condition occurs. The PWM output
function is modified by changing these two bits. It is necessary to only change the
values of the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits only after the TMn has been switched off.
Unpredictable PWM outputs will occur if the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are changed when
the TMn is running.

This is the output control bit for the TMn output pin. Its operation depends upon
whether TMn is being used in the Compare Match Output Mode or in the PWM Mode.
It has no effect if the TMn is in the Timer/Counter Mode. In the Compare Match
Output Mode it determines the logic level of the TMn output pin before a compare
match occurs. In the PWM Mode it determines if the PWM signal is active high or
active low.
Bit 2TnPOL: TMn TPn_0, TPn_1 output polarity control
0: Non-invert
1: Invert
This bit controls the polarity of the TPn_0 or TPn_1 output pin. When the bit is set
high the TMn output pin will be inverted and not inverted when the bit is zero. It has
no effect if the TMn is in the Timer/Counter Mode.
Bit 1TnDPX: TMn PWM period/duty control
0: CCRP – Period; CCRA – Duty
1: CCRP – Duty; CCRA – Period
This bit determines which of the CCRA and CCRP registers are used for period and
duty control of the PWM waveform
Bit 0TnCCLR: Select TMn Counter clear condition
0: TMn Comparator P match
1: TMn Comparator A match
This bit is used to select the method which clears the counter. Remember that the
Compact TMn contains two comparators, Comparator A and Comparator P, either of
which can be selected to clear the internal counter. With the TnCCLR bit set high,
the counter will be cleared when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A.
When the bit is low, the counter will be cleared when a compare match occurs from
the Comparator P or with a counter overflow. A counter overflow clearing method can
only be implemented if the CCRP bits are all cleared to zero. The TnCCLR bit is not
used in the PWM mode.

Compact Type TM Operation Modes
The Compact Type TM can operate in one of three operating modes, Compare Match Output Mode,
PWM Mode or Timer/Counter Mode. The operating mode is selected using the TnM1 and TnM0
bits in the TMnC1 register.
Compare Match Output Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register, should be set to “00” respectively.
In this mode once the counter is enabled and running it can be cleared by three methods. These are
a counter overflow, a compare match from Comparator A and a compare match from Comparator P.
When the TnCCLR bit is low, there are two ways in which the counter can be cleared. One is when
a compare match occurs from Comparator P, the other is when the CCRP bits are all zero which
allows the counter to overflow. Here both TnAF and TnPF interrupt request flags for the Comparator
A and Comparator P respectively, will both be generated.
If the TnCCLR bit in the TMnC1 register is high then the counter will be cleared when a compare
match occurs from Comparator A. However, here only the TnAF interrupt request flag will be
generated even if the value of the CCRP bits is less than that of the CCRA registers. Therefore when
TnCCLR is high no TnPF interrupt request flag will be generated. If the CCRA bits are all zero, the
counter will overflow when its reaches its maximum 10-bit, 3FF Hex, value, however here the TnAF
interrupt request flag will not be generated.
As the name of the mode suggests, after a comparison is made, the TM output pin will change
state. The TM output pin condition however only changes state when a TnAF interrupt request flag
is generated after a compare match occurs from Comparator A. The TnPF interrupt request flag,
generated from a compare match occurs from Comparator P, will have no effect on the TM output
pin. The way in which the TM output pin changes state are determined by the condition of the
TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits in the TMnC1 register. The TM output pin can be selected using the TnIO1
and TnIO0 bits to go high, to go low or to toggle from its present condition when a compare match
occurs from Comparator A. The initial condition of the TM output pin, which is setup after the
TnON bit changes from low to high, is setup using the TnOC bit. Note that if the TnIO1 and TnIO0
bits are zero then no pin change will take place.

Timer/Counter Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 11 respectively.
The Timer/Counter Mode operates in an identical way to the Compare Match Output Mode
generating the same interrupt flags. The exception is that in the Timer/Counter Mode the TM output
pin is not used. Therefore the above description and Timing Diagrams for the Compare Match
Output Mode can be used to understand its function. As the TM output pin is not used in this mode,
the pin can be used as a normal I/O pin or other pin-shared function.
PWM Output Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 10 respectively.
The PWM function within the TM is useful for applications which require functions such as motor
control, heating control, illumination control etc. By providing a signal of fixed frequency but
of varying duty cycle on the TM output pin, a square wave AC waveform can be generated with
varying equivalent DC RMS values.
As both the period and duty cycle of the PWM waveform can be controlled, the choice of generated
waveform is extremely flexible. In the PWM mode, the TnCCLR bit has no effect on the PWM
operation. Both of the CCRA and CCRP registers are used to generate the PWM waveform, one
register is used to clear the internal counter and thus control the PWM waveform frequency, while
the other one is used to control the duty cycle. Which register is used to control either frequency
or duty cycle is determined using the TnDPX bit in the TMnC1 register. The PWM waveform
frequency and duty cycle can therefore be controlled by the values in the CCRA and CCRP registers.
An interrupt flag, one for each of the CCRA and CCRP, will be generated when a compare match
occurs from either Comparator A or Comparator P. The TnOC bit in the TMnC1 register is used to
select the required polarity of the PWM waveform while the two TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are used to
enable the PWM output or to force the TM output pin to a fixed high or low level. The TnPOL bit is
used to reverse the polarity of the PWM output waveform.

Standard Type TM – STM
The Standard Type TM contains five operating modes, which are Compare Match Output, Timer/
Event Counter, Capture Input, Single Pulse Output and PWM Output modes. The Standard TM can
also be controlled with an external input pin and can drive one or two external output pins.

Standard Type TM Operation
There are two sizes of Standard TMs, one is 10-bit wide and the other is 16-bit wide. At the core is a
10 or 16-bit count-up counter which is driven by a user selectable internal or external clock source.
There are also two internal comparators with the names, Comparator A and Comparator P. These
comparators will compare the value in the counter with CCRP and CCRA registers. The CCRP
comparator is 3 or 8-bits wide whose value is compared the with highest 3 or 8 bits in the counter
while the CCRA is the ten or sixteen bits and therefore compares all counter bits.
The only way of changing the value of the 10 or 16-bit counter using the application program, is
to clear the counter by changing the TnON bit from low to high. The counter will also be cleared
automatically by a counter overflow or a compare match with one of its associated comparators.
When these conditions occur, a TM interrupt signal will also usually be generated. The Standard
Type TM can operate in a number of different operational modes, can be driven by different clock
sources including an input pin and can also control an output pin. All operating setup conditions are
selected using relevant internal registers.

Standard Type TM Register Description
Overall operation of the Standard TM is controlled using a series of registers. A read only register
pair exists to store the internal counter 10 or 16-bit value, while a read/write register pair exists to
store the internal 10 or 16-bit CCRA value. The remaining two registers are control registers which
setup the different operating and control modes as well as the three or eight CCRP bits.

Bit 7~0T0RP7~T0RP0: TM0 CCRP 8-bit register bit 7 ~ bit 0, compared with the TM0
counter bit 15~bit 8
Comparator P match period =
0: 65536 TM0 clocks
1~255: (1~255) × 256 TM0 clocks
These eight bits are used to setup the value on the internal CCRP 8-bit register, which
are then compared with the internal counter’s highest eight bits. The result of this
comparison can be selected to clear the internal counter if the T0CCLR bit is set to
zero. Setting the T0CCLR bit to zero ensures that a compare match with the CCRP
values will reset the internal counter. As the CCRP bits are only compared with the
highest eight counter bits, the compare values exist in 256 clock cycle multiples.
Clearing all eight bits to zero is in effect allowing the counter to overflow at its
maximum value.

Bit 7T0PAU: TM0 Counter Pause control
0: Run
1: Pause
The counter can be paused by setting this bit high. Clearing the bit to zero restores
normal counter operation. When in a Pause condition the TM will remain powered up
and continue to consume power. The counter will retain its residual value when this bit
changes from low to high and resume counting from this value when the bit changes
to a low value again.

These three bits are used to select the clock source for the TM. Selecting the Reserved
clock input will effectively disable the internal counter. The external pin clock source
can be chosen to be active on the rising or falling edge. The clock source fSYS is the
system clock, while fH and fL are other internal clocks, the details of which can be
found in the oscillator section.
Bit 3T0ON: TM0 Counter On/Off control
0: Off
1: On
This bit controls the overall on/off function of the TM. Setting the bit high enables
the counter to run while clearing the bit disables the TM. Clearing this bit to zero
will stop the counter from counting and turn off the TM which will reduce its power
consumption. When the bit changes state from low to high the internal counter value
will be reset to zero, however when the bit changes from high to low, the internal
counter will retain its residual value until the bit returns high again. If the TM is in
the Compare Match Output Mode then the TMn output pin will be reset to its initial
condition, as specified by the T0OC bit, when the T0ON bit changes from low to high.

the TMn should be switched off before any changes are made to the TnM1 and TnM0
bits. In the Timer/Counter Mode, the TMn output pin control must be disabled.

These two bits are used to determine how the TMn output pin changes state when a
certain condition is reached. The function that these bits select depends upon in which
mode the TMn is running.
In the Compare Match Output Mode, the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits determine how the
TMn output pin changes state when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A.
The TMn output pin can be setup to switch high, switch low or to toggle its present
state when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A. When the bits are both
zero, then no change will take place on the output. The initial value of the TMn output
pin should be setup using the TnOC bit in the TMnC1 register. Note that the output
level requested by the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits must be different from the initial value
setup using the TnOC bit otherwise no change will occur on the TMn output pin when
a compare match occurs. After the TMn output pin changes state it can be reset to its
initial level by changing the level of the TnON bit from low to high.
In the PWM Mode, the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits determine how the TM output pin
changes state when a certain compare match condition occurs. The PWM output
function is modified by changing these two bits. It is necessary to only change the
values of the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits only after the TMn has been switched off.
Unpredictable PWM outputs will occur if the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are changed when
the TMn is running.

This is the output control bit for the TMn output pin. Its operation depends upon
whether TMn is being used in the Compare Match Output Mode or in the PWM Mode/
Single Pulse Output Mode. It has no effect if the TMn is in the Timer/Counter Mode.
In the Compare Match Output Mode it determines the logic level of the TMn output
pin before a compare match occurs. In the PWM Mode or Single Pulse Output Mode
it determines if the PWM or Single Pulse signal is active high or active low.

This bit controls the polarity of the TPn_0 or TPn_1 output pin. When the bit is set

no effect if the TMn is in the Timer/Counter Mode.
Bit 1TnDPX: TMn PWM period/duty control

Bit 0TnCCLR: Select TMn Counter clear condition
0: TMn Comparator P match
1: TMn Comparator A match
This bit is used to select the method which clears the counter. Remember that the
Compact TMn contains two comparators, Comparator A and Comparator P, either of
which can be selected to clear the internal counter. With the TnCCLR bit set high,
the counter will be cleared when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A.
When the bit is low, the counter will be cleared when a compare match occurs from
the Comparator P or with a counter overflow. A counter overflow clearing method can
only be implemented if the CCRP bits are all cleared to zero. The TnCCLR bit is not
used in the PWM mode.

Standard Type TM Operation Modes
The Standard Type TM can operate in one of five operating modes, Compare Match Output Mode,
PWM Output Mode, Single Pulse Output Mode, Capture Input Mode or Timer/Counter Mode. The
operating mode is selected using the TnM1 and TnM0 bits in the TMnC1 register.
Compare Match Output Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register, should be set to 00 respectively.
In this mode once the counter is enabled and running it can be cleared by three methods. These are
a counter overflow, a compare match from Comparator A and a compare match from Comparator P.
When the TnCCLR bit is low, there are two ways in which the counter can be cleared. One is when
a compare match from Comparator P, the other is when the CCRP bits are all zero which allows
the counter to overflow. Here both TnAF and TnPF interrupt request flags for Comparator A and
Comparator P respectively, will both be generated.
If the TnCCLR bit in the TMnC1 register is high then the counter will be cleared when a compare
match occurs from Comparator A. However, here only the TnAF interrupt request flag will be
generated even if the value of the CCRP bits is less than that of the CCRA registers. Therefore when
TnCCLR is high no TnPF interrupt request flag will be generated. In the Compare Match Output
Mode, the CCRA can not be set to “0”.
As the name of the mode suggests, after a comparison is made, the TM output pin, will change
state. The TM output pin condition however only changes state when a TnAF interrupt request flag
is generated after a compare match occurs from Comparator A. The TnPF interrupt request flag,
generated from a compare match occurs from Comparator P, will have no effect on the TM output
pin. The way in which the TM output pin changes state are determined by the condition of the
TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits in the TMnC1 register. The TM output pin can be selected using the TnIO1
and TnIO0 bits to go high, to go low or to toggle from its present condition when a compare match
occurs from Comparator A. The initial condition of the TM output pin, which is setup after the
TnON bit changes from low to high, is setup using the TnOC bit. Note that if the TnIO1 and TnIO0
bits are zero then no pin change will take place.

Timer/Counter Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 11 respectively.
The Timer/Counter Mode operates in an identical way to the Compare Match Output Mode
generating the same interrupt flags. The exception is that in the Timer/Counter Mode the TM output
pin is not used. Therefore the above description and Timing Diagrams for the Compare Match
Output Mode can be used to understand its function. As the TM output pin is not used in this mode,
the pin can be used as a normal I/O pin or other pin-shared function.
PWM Output Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 10 respectively
and also the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits should be set to 10 respectively. The PWM function within
the TM is useful for applications which require functions such as motor control, heating control,
illumination control etc. By providing a signal of fixed frequency but of varying duty cycle on the
TM output pin, a square wave AC waveform can be generated with varying equivalent DC RMS
values.
As both the period and duty cycle of the PWM waveform can be controlled, the choice of generated
waveform is extremely flexible. In the PWM mode, the TnCCLR bit has no effect as the PWM
period. Both of the CCRA and CCRP registers are used to generate the PWM waveform, one register
is used to clear the internal counter and thus control the PWM waveform frequency, while the other
one is used to control the duty cycle. Which register is used to control either frequency or duty cycle
is determined using the TnDPX bit in the TMnC1 register. The PWM waveform frequency and duty
cycle can therefore be controlled by the values in the CCRA and CCRP registers.
An interrupt flag, one for each of the CCRA and CCRP, will be generated when a compare match
occurs from either Comparator A or Comparator P. The TnOC bit in the TMnC1 register is used to
select the required polarity of the PWM waveform while the two TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are used to
enable the PWM output or to force the TM output pin to a fixed high or low level. The TnPOL bit is
used to reverse the polarity of the PWM output waveform.

Single Pulse Output Mode
To select this mode, bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 10 respectively
and also the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits should be set to 11 respectively. The Single Pulse Output Mode,
as the name suggests, will generate a single shot pulse on the TM output pin.
The trigger for the pulse output leading edge is a low to high transition of the TnON bit, which can
be implemented using the application program. However in the Single Pulse Mode, the TnON bit
can also be made to automatically change from low to high using the external TCKn pin, which will
in turn initiate the Single Pulse output. When the TnON bit transitions to a high level, the counter
will start running and the pulse leading edge will be generated. The TnON bit should remain high
when the pulse is in its active state. The generated pulse trailing edge will be generated when the
TnON bit is cleared to zero, which can be implemented using the application program or when a
compare match occurs from Comparator A.
However a compare match from Comparator A will also automatically clear the TnON bit and thus
generate the Single Pulse output trailing edge. In this way the CCRA value can be used to control
the pulse width. A compare match from Comparator A will also generate a TM interrupt. The counter
can only be reset back to zero when the TnON bit changes from low to high when the counter
restarts. In the Single Pulse Mode CCRP is not used. The TnCCLR and TnDPX bits are not used in
this Mode.

Capture Input Mode
To select this mode bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 01 respectively.
This mode enables external signals to capture and store the present value of the internal counter
and can therefore be used for applications such as pulse width measurements. The external signal is
supplied on the TPn_0 or TPn_1 pin, whose active edge can be either a rising edge, a falling edge or
both rising and falling edges; the active edge transition type is selected using the TnIO1 and TnIO0
bits in the TMnC1 register. The counter is started when the TnON bit changes from low to high
which is initiated using the application program.
When the required edge transition appears on the TPn_0 or TPn_1 pin the present value in the
counter will be latched into the CCRA registers and a TM interrupt generated. Irrespective of what
events occur on the TPn_0 or TPn_1 pin the counter will continue to free run until the TnON bit
changes from high to low. When a CCRP compare match occurs the counter will reset back to zero;
in this way the CCRP value can be used to control the maximum counter value. When a CCRP
compare match occurs from Comparator P, a TM interrupt will also be generated. Counting the
number of overflow interrupt signals from the CCRP can be a useful method in measuring long
pulse widths. The TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits can select the active trigger edge on the TPn_0 or TPn_1
pin to be a rising edge, falling edge or both edge types. If the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are both set
high, then no capture operation will take place irrespective of what happens on the TPn_0 or TPn_1
pin, however it must be noted that the counter will continue to run.
As the TPn_0 or TPn_1 pin is pin shared with other functions, care must be taken if the TM is in the
Input Capture Mode. This is because if the pin is setup as an output, then any transitions on this pin
may cause an input capture operation to be executed. The TnCCLR and TnDPX bits are not used in
this Mode.

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
Serial Interface Module – SIM
The device contains a Serial Interface Module, which includes both the four line SPI interface and
the two line I2C interface types, to allow an easy method of communication with external peripheral
hardware. Having relatively simple communication protocols, these serial interface types allow
the microcontroller to interface to external SPI or I2C based hardware such as sensors, Flash or
EEPROM memory, etc. The SIM interface pins are pin-shared with other I/O pins therefore the SIM
interface function must first be selected by software control. As both interface types share the same
pins and registers, the choice of whether the SPI or I2C type is used is made using the SIM operating
mode control bits, named SIM2~SIM0, in the SIMC0 register. The pull-high resistors of the SIM
pins can be selected using pull-high control registers and also if the SIM function is enabled. There
is one control register associated with the serial interface control, namely SBSC. This is used to
enable the SIM_WCOL bit function, SA_WCOL bit function and I2C debounce selection.
The device provides two kinds of SPI function, namely SPI and SPIA, each of them has the
corresponding WCOL control bits to enable the SIM WCOL and SPIA WCOL control bits, namely
SIM_WCOL and SA_WCOL respectively. In addition, the I2CDB1 and I2CDB0 bits are used to
select the I2C debounce time.
SPI Interface
This SPI interface function, which is part of the Serial Interface Module, should not be confused
with the other independent SPI function, known as SPIA, which is described in another section of
this datasheet.
The SPI interface is often used to communicate with external peripheral devices such as sensors,
Flash or EEPROM memory devices etc. Originally developed by Motorola, the four line SPI
interface is a synchronous serial data interface that has a relatively simple communication protocol
simplifying the programming requirements when communicating with external hardware devices.
The communication is full duplex and operates as a slave/master type, where the device can be
either master or slave. Although the SPI interface specification can control multiple slave devices
from a single master, but this device provided only one SCS pin. If the master needs to control
multiple slave devices from a single master, the master can use I/O pin to select the slave devices.
SPI Interface Operation
The SPI interface is a full duplex synchronous serial data link. It is a four line interface with pin
names SDI, SDO, SCK and SCS. Pins SDI and SDO are the Serial Data Input and Serial Data Output
lines, SCK is the Serial Clock line and SCS is the Slave Select line. As the SPI interface pins are
pinshared with other functions and with the I2C function pins, the SPI interface must first be selected
by the correct bits in the SIMC0 and SIMC2 registers. After the SPI option has been selected, it can
also be additionally disabled or enabled using the SIMEN bit in the SIMC0 register.

The SPI function in these devices offer the following features:
• Full duplex synchronous data transfer
• Both Master and Slave modes
• LSB first or MSB first data transmission modes
• Transmission complete flag
• Rising or falling active clock edge
• WCOL bit enabled or disable select
The status of the SPI interface pins is determined by a number of factors such as whether the device
is in the master or slave mode and upon the condition of certain control bits such as CSEN and
SIMEN.
SPI Registers
There are four internal registers which control the overall operation of the SPI interface. These are
the SIMD data register and three registers SIMC0, SIMC2 and SBSC. The SIM_WCOL bit in the
SBSC register is used to control the SPI WCOL function. Note that the SIMC1 register is only used
by the I2C interface.

SIMD Register
The SIMD register is used to store the data being transmitted and received. The same register is used
by both the SPI and I2C functions. Before the device writes data to the SPI bus, the actual data to
be transmitted must be placed in the SIMD register. After the data is received from the SPI bus, the
device can read it from the SIMD register. Any transmission or reception of data from the SPI bus
must be made via the SIMD register.

There are also three control registers for the SPI interface, SIMC0 SIMC2 and SBSC. Note that the
SIMC2 register also has the name SIMA which is used by the I2C function. The SIMC1 register is
not used by the SPI function, only by the I2C function. Register SIMC0 is used to control the enable/
disable function and to set the data transmission clock frequency. Although not connected with the
SPI function, the SIMC0 register is also used to control the Peripheral Clock Prescaler. Register
SIMC2 is used for other control functions such as LSB/MSB selection, write collision flag etc.

Bit 1SIMEN: SIM Enable Control
0: Disable

The bit is the overall on/off control for the SIM interface. When the SIMEN bit is
cleared to zero to disable the SIM interface, the SDI, SDO, SCK and SCS, or SDA and
SCL lines will lose their SPI or I2C function and the SIM operating current will be
reduced to a minimum value. When the bit is high the SIM interface is enabled. The
SIM configuration option must have first enabled the SIM interface for this bit to be
effective.If the SIM is configured to operate as an SPI interface via the SIM2~SIM0
bits, the contents of the SPI control registers will remain at the previous settings when
the SIMEN bit changes from low to high and should therefore be first initialised by
the application program. If the SIM is configured to operate as an I2C interface via the
SIM2~SIM0 bits and the SIMEN bit changes from low to high, the contents of the I2C
control bits such as HTX and TXAK will remain at the previous settings and should
therefore be first initialised by the application program while the relevant I2C flags
such as HCF, HAAS, HBB, SRW and RXAK will be set to their default states.

Bit 5CKPOLB: SPI clock line base condition selection
0: The SCK line will be high when the clock is inactive.
1: The SCK line will be low when the clock is inactive.
The CKPOLB bit determines the base condition of the clock line, if the bit is high,
then the SCK line will be low when the clock is inactive. When the CKPOLB bit is
low, then the SCK line will be high when the clock is inactive.
Bit 4CKEG: SPI SCK clock active edge type selection

0: SCK is high base level and data capture at SCK rising edge
1: SCK is high base level and data capture at SCK falling edge
CKPOLB=1
0: SCK is low base level and data capture at SCK falling edge
1: SCK is low base level and data capture at SCK rising edge
The CKEG and CKPOLB bits are used to setup the way that the clock signal outputs
and inputs data on the SPI bus. These two bits must be configured before data transfer
is executed otherwise an erroneous clock edge may be generated. The CKPOLB bit
determines the base condition of the clock line, if the bit is high, then the SCK line
will be low when the clock is inactive. When the CKPOLB bit is low, then the SCK
line will be high when the clock is inactive. The CKEG bit determines active clock
edge type which depends upon the condition of CKPOLB bit.
Bit 3MLS: SPI data shift order
0: LSB first
1: MSB first
This is the data shift select bit and is used to select how the data is transferred, either
MSB or LSB first. Setting the bit high will select MSB first and low for LSB first.

The WCOL flag is used to detect whether a data collision has occurred or not. If this
bit is high, it means that data has been attempted to be written to the SIMD register
duting a data transfer operation. This writing operation will be ignored if data is being
transferred. This bit can be cleared by the application program.
Bit 0TRF: SPI Transmit/Receive complete flag
0: SPI data is being transferred
1: SPI data transfer is completed
The TRF bit is the Transmit/Receive Complete flag and is set to 1 automatically when
an SPI data transfer is completed, but must cleared to 0 by the application program. It
can be used to generate an interrupt.

SPI Bus Enable/Disable
To enable the SPI bus, set CSEN= 1 and SCS = 0, then wait for data to be written into the SIMD
(TXRX buffer) register. For the Master Mode, after data has been written to the SIMD (TXRX
buffer) register, then transmission or reception will start automatically. When all the data has been
transferred, the TRF bit should be set. For the Slave Mode, when clock pulses are received on SCK,
data in the TXRX buffer will be shifted out or data on SDI will be shifted in.To disable the SPI bus,
the SCK, SDI, SDO and SCS will become I/O pins or the other functions.

SPI Communication
After the SPI interface is enabled by setting the SIMEN bit high, then in the Master Mode, when
data is written to the SIMD register, transmission/reception will begin simultaneously. When the
data transfer is complete, the TRF flag will be set automatically, but must be cleared using the
application program. In the Slave Mode, when the clock signal from the master has been received,
any data in the SIMD register will be transmitted and any data on the SDI pin will be shifted into
the SIMD register. The master should output an SCS signal to enable the slave device before a
clock signal is provided. The slave data to be transferred should be well prepared at the appropriate
moment relative to the SCS signal depending upon the configurations of the CKPOLB bit and CKEG
bit. The accompanying timing diagram shows the relationship between the slave data and SCS signal
for various configurations of the CKPOLB and CKEG bits. The SPI will continue to function even
in the IDLE Mode.

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
All communication is carried out using the 4-line interface for either Master or Slave Mode.The
CSEN bit in the SIMC2 register controls the overall function of the SPI interface. Setting this bit
high will enable the SPI interface by allowing the SCS line to be active, which can then be used
to control the SPI interface. If the CSEN bit is low, the SPI interface will be disabled and the SCS
line will be an I/O pin or the other functions and can therefore not be used for control of the SPI
interface. If the CSEN bit and the SIMEN bit in the SIMC0 are set high, this will place the SDI line
in a floating condition and the SDO line high. If in Master Mode the SCK line will be either high
or low depending upon the clock polarity selection bit CKPOLB in the SIMC2 register. If in Slave
Mode the SCK line will be in a floating condition. If the SIMEN bit is low, then the bus will be
disabled and SCS, SDI, SDO and SCK will all become I/O pins or the other functions. In the Master
Mode the Master will always generate the clock signal. The clock and data transmission will be
initiated after data has been written into the SIMD register. In the Slave Mode, the clock signal will
be received from an external master device for both data transmission and reception. The following
sequences show the order to be followed for data transfer in both Master and Slave Mode:
Master Mode
• Step 1
Select the SPI Master mode and clock source using the SIM2~SIM0 bits in the SIMC0 control
register
• Step 2
Setup the CSEN bit and setup the MLS bit to choose if the data is MSB or LSB first, this setting
must be the same with the Slave device.
• Step 3
Setup the SIMEN bit in the SIMC0 control register to enable the SPI interface.
• Step 4
For write operations: write the data to the SIMD register, which will actually place the data into
the TXRX buffer. Then use the SCK and SCS lines to output the data. After this, go to step5. For
read operations: the data transferred in on the SDI line will be stored in the TXRX buffer until all
the data has been received at which point it will be latched into the SIMD register.
• Step 5
Check the WCOL bit if set high then a collision error has occurred so return to step 4. If equal to
zero then go to the following step.
• Step 6
Check the TRF bit or wait for a SPI serial bus interrupt.
• Step 7
Read data from the SIMD register.
• Step 8
Clear TRF.
• Step 9
Go to step 4.

Slave Mode
• Step 1
Select the SPI Slave mode using the SIM2~SIM0 bits in the SIMC0 control register
• Step 2
Setup the CSEN bit and setup the MLS bit to choose if the data is MSB or LSB first, this setting
must be the same with the Master device.
• Step 3
Setup the SIMEN bit in the SIMC0 control register to enable the SPI interface.
• Step 4
For write operations: write the data to the SIMD register, which will actually place the data into
the TXRX buffer. Then wait for the master clock SCK and SCS signal. After this, go to step5. For
read operations: the data transferred in on the SDI line will be stored in the TXRX buffer until all
the data has been received at which point it will be latched into the SIMD register.
• Step 5
Check the WCOL bit if set high then a collision error has occurred so return to step 4. If equal to
zero then go to the following step.

SPI Error Detection
The WCOL bit in the SIMC2 register is provided to indicate errors during data transfer. The bit is
set by the SPI serial Interface but must be cleared by the application program. This bit indicates a
data collision has occurred which happens if a write to the SIMD register takes place during a data
transfer operation and will prevent the write operation from continuing. The overall function of the
WCOL bit can be disabled or enabled by the SIM_WCOL bit in the SBSC register.
I2C Interface
The I 2C interface is used to communicate with external peripheral devices such as sensors,
EEPROM memory etc. Originally developed by Philips, it is a two line low speed serial interface
for synchronous serial data transfer. The advantage of only two lines for communication, relatively
simple communication protocol and the ability to accommodate multiple devices on the same bus
has made it an extremely popular interface type for many applications.

I2C interface Operation
The I2C serial interface is a two line interface, a serial data line, SDA, and serial clock line, SCL. As
many devices may be connected together on the same bus, their outputs are both open drain types.
For this reason it is necessary that external pull-high resistors are connected to these outputs. Note
that no chip select line exists, as each device on the I2C bus is identified by a unique address which
will be transmitted and received on the I2C bus.
When two devices communicate with each other on the bidirectional I2C bus, one is known as the
master device and one as the slave device. Both master and slave can transmit and receive data.
However, it is the master device that has overall control of the bus. For these devices, which only
operate in slave mode, there are two methods of transferring data on the I2C bus, the slave transmit
mode and the slave receive mode.
The debounce time of the I2C interface can be determined by the I2CDB1 and I2CDB0 bits in the
SBSC register. This uses the internal clock to in effect add a debounce time to the external clock to
reduce the possibility of glitches on the clock line causing erroneous operation. The debounce time,
if selected, can be chosen to be either 1 or 2 system clocks.

I2C Registers
There are three control registers associated with the I2C bus, SIMC0, SIMC1 and SBSC, one
address register SIMA and one data register, SIMD. The SIMD register, which is shown in the
above SPI section, is used to store the data being transmitted and received on the I2C bus. Before
the microcontroller writes data to the I2C bus, the actual data to be transmitted must be placed in the
SIMD register. After the data is received from the I2C bus, the microcontroller can read it from the
SIMD register. Any transmission or reception of data from the I2C bus must be made via the SIMD
register.
Note that the SIMA register also has the name SIMC2 which is used by the SPI function. Bit SIMEN
and bits SIM2~SIM0 in register SIMC0 are used by the I2C interface. The I2CDB0 and I2CDB1 in
the SBSC register are used to select the I2C debounce time.

The SIMD register is used to store the data being transmitted and received. The same register is used
by both the SPI and I2C functions. Before the device writes data to the I2C bus, the actual data to
be transmitted must be placed in the SIMD register. After the data is received from the I2C bus, the
device can read it from the SIMD register. Any transmission or reception of data from the I2C bus
must be made via the SIMD register.

The bit is the overall on/off control for the SIM interface. When the SIMEN bit is
cleared to zero to disable the SIM interface, the SDI, SDO, SCK and SCS, or SDA and
SCL lines will lose their SPI or I2C function and the SIM operating current will be
reduced to a minimum value. When the bit is high the SIM interface is enabled. The
SIM configuration option must have first enabled the SIM interface for this bit to be
effective.If the SIM is configured to operate as an SPI interface via the SIM2~SIM0
bits, the contents of the SPI control registers will remain at the previous settings when
the SIMEN bit changes from low to high and should therefore be first initialised by
the application program. If the SIM is configured to operate as an I2C interface via the
SIM2~SIM0 bits and the SIMEN bit changes from low to high, the contents of the I2C
control bits such as HTX and TXAK will remain at the previous settings and should

The HCF flag is the data transfer flag. This flag will be zero when data is being

interrupt will be generated.

Bit 6HAAS: I2C Bus address match flag
0: No address match

The HAAS flag is the address match flag. This flag is used to determine if the slave
device address is the same as the master transmit address. If the addresses match then
this bit will be high, if there is no match then the flag will be low.
Bit 5HBB: I2C Bus busy flag
0: Bus not busy
1: Bus busy
The HBB flag is the I2C busy flag. This flag will be “1” when the I2C bus is busy
which will occur when a START signal is detected. The flag will be set to “0” when
the bus is free which will occur when a STOP signal is detected.

The TXAK bit is the transmit acknowledge flag. After the slave device receipt of 8-bits
of data,this bit will be transmitted to the bus on the 9th clock from the slave device.
The slave device must always set TXAK bit to “0” before further data is received.
Bit 2SRW: I2C Slave Read/Write flag
0: Slave device should be in receive mode
1: Slave device should be in transmit mode
The SRW flag is the I 2C Slave Read/Write flag. This flag determines whether
the master device wishes to transmit or receive data from the I2C bus. When the
transmitted address and slave address is match, that is when the HAAS flag is set high,
the slave device will check the SRW flag to determine whether it should be in transmit
mode or receive mode. If the SRW flag is high, the master is requesting to read data
from the bus, so the slave device should be in transmit mode. When the SRW flag
is zero, the master will write data to the bus, therefore the slave device should be in
receive mode to read this data.

The RXAK flag is the receiver acknowledge flag. When the RXAK flag is “0”, it
means that a acknowledge signal has been received at the 9th clock, after 8 bits of data
have been transmitted. When the slave device in the transmit mode, the slave device
checks the RXAK flag to determine if the master receiver wishes to receive the next
byte. The slave transmitter will therefore continue sending out data until the RXAK
flag is “1”. When this occurs, the slave transmitter will release the SDA line to allow
the master to send a STOP signal to release the I2C Bus.

I2C Bus Communication
Communication on the I2C bus requires four separate steps, a START signal, a slave device address
transmission, a data transmission and finally a STOP signal. When a START signal is placed on
the I2C bus, all devices on the bus will receive this signal and be notified of the imminent arrival of
data on the bus. The first seven bits of the data will be the slave address with the first bit being the
MSB. If the address of the slave device matches that of the transmitted address, the HAAS bit in the
SIMC1 register will be set and an I2C interrupt will be generated. After entering the interrupt service
routine, the slave device must first check the condition of the HAAS bit to determine whether the
interrupt source originates from an address match or from the completion of an 8-bit data transfer.
During a data transfer, note that after the 7-bit slave address has been transmitted, the following bit,
which is the 8th bit, is the read/write bit whose value will be placed in the SRW bit. This bit will be
checked by the slave device to determine whether to go into transmit or receive mode. Before any
transfer of data to or from the I2C bus, the microcontroller must initialise the bus and the following
are steps to achieve this:
• Step 1
Set the SIM2~SIM0 and SIMEN bits in the SIMC0 register to “1” to enable the I2C bus.
• Step 2
Write the slave address of the device to the I2C bus address register SIMA.
• Step 3
Set the SIME interrupt enable bit of the interrupt control register to enable the SIM interrupt.

I2C Bus Initialisation Flow Chart
I2C Bus Start Signal
The START signal can only be generated by the master device connected to the I2C bus and not by
the slave device. This START signal will be detected by all devices connected to the I2C bus. When
detected, this indicates that the I2C bus is busy and therefore the HBB bit will be set. A START
condition occurs when a high to low transition on the SDA line takes place when the SCL line
remains high.

I2C Bus Slave Address
The transmission of a START signal by the master will be detected by all devices on the I2C bus.
To determine which slave device the master wishes to communicate with, the address of the slave
device will be sent out immediately following the START signal. All slave devices, after receiving
this 7-bit address data, will compare it with their own 7-bit slave address. If the address sent out by
the master matches the internal address of the microcontroller slave device, then an internal I2C bus
interrupt signal will be generated. The next bit following the address, which is the 8th bit, defines
the read/write status and will be saved to the SRW bit of the SIMC1 register. The slave device will
then transmit an acknowledge bit, which is a low level, as the 9th bit. The slave device will also set
the status flag HAAS when the addresses match.
As an I 2C bus interrupt can come from two sources, when the program enters the interrupt
subroutine, the HAAS bit should be examined to see whether the interrupt source has come from
a matching slave address or from the completion of a data byte transfer. When a slave address is
matched, the device must be placed in either the transmit mode and then write data to the SIMD
register, or in the receive mode where it must implement a dummy read from the SIMD register to
release the SCL line.
I2C Bus Read/Write Signal
The SRW bit in the SIMC1 register defines whether the slave device wishes to read data from the
I2C bus or write data to the I2C bus. The slave device should examine this bit to determine if it is to
be a transmitter or a receiver. If the SRW flag is “1” then this indicates that the master device wishes
to read data from the I2C bus, therefore the slave device must be setup to send data to the I2C bus as
a transmitter. If the SRW flag is “0” then this indicates that the master wishes to send data to the I2C
bus, therefore the slave device must be setup to read data from the I2C bus as a receiver.
I2C Bus Slave Address Acknowledge Signal
After the master has transmitted a calling address, any slave device on the I 2C bus, whose
own internal address matches the calling address, must generate an acknowledge signal. The
acknowledge signal will inform the master that a slave device has accepted its calling address. If no
acknowledge signal is received by the master then a STOP signal must be transmitted by the master
to end the communication. When the HAAS flag is high, the addresses have matched and the slave
device must check the SRW flag to determine if it is to be a transmitter or a receiver. If the SRW flag
is high, the slave device should be setup to be a transmitter so the HTX bit in the SIMC1 register
should be set to “1”. If the SRW flag is low, then the microcontroller slave device should be setup as
a receiver and the HTX bit in the SIMC1 register should be set to “0”.

I2C Bus Data and Acknowledge Signal
The transmitted data is 8-bits wide and is transmitted after the slave device has acknowledged
receipt of its slave address. The order of serial bit transmission is the MSB first and the LSB last.
After receipt of 8-bits of data, the receiver must transmit an acknowledge signal, level “0”, before
it can receive the next data byte. If the slave transmitter does not receive an acknowledge bit signal
from the master receiver, then the slave transmitter will release the SDA line to allow the master
to send a STOP signal to release the I2C Bus. The corresponding data will be stored in the SIMD
register. If setup as a transmitter, the slave device must first write the data to be transmitted into the
SIMD register. If setup as a receiver, the slave device must read the transmitted data from the SIMD
register.
When the slave receiver receives the data byte, it must generate an acknowledge bit, known as
TXAK, on the 9th clock. The slave device, which is setup as a transmitter will check the RXAK bit
in the SIMC1 register to determine if it is to send another data byte, if not then it will release the
SDA line and await the receipt of a STOP signal from the master.

I2C Time-out Function
The I2C interface provides a time-out scheme to prevent a locked situation which might take
place by an unexpected clock timing generated by a noise input signal. When the I2C interface
has been locked for a period of time, the I2C hardware and the register, SIMC1, will be initialized
automatically and the I2CTOF bit in the I2CTOC register will be set high. The Time Out function
enable/disable and the time-out period are managed by the I2CTOC register.
I2C Time-out Operation
The time-out counter will start counting when the I2C interface received the START bit and address
match. After that the counter will be cleared on each falling edge of the SCL pin. If the time counter
is larger than the selected time-out time, then the anti-locked protection scheme will take place and
the time-out counter will be stopped by hardware automatically, the I2CTOF bit will be set high and
an I2C interrupt will also take place. Note that this scheme can also be stopped when the I2C received
the STOP bit. There are several time-out periods can be selected by the I2CTOS0~I2CTOS5 bits in
the I2CTOC register.

Peripheral ClockOutput
The Peripheral Clock Output allows the device to supply external hardware with a clock signal
synchronised to the microcontroller clock.
Peripheral Clock Operation
As the peripheral clock output pin, PCK, is shared with I/O line, the required pin function is chosen
via PCKEN in the SIMC0 register. The Peripheral Clock function is controlled using the SIMC0
register. The clock source for the Peripheral Clock Output can originate from either the TM0 CCRP
match frequency/2 or a divided ratio of the internal fSYS clock. The PCKEN bit in the SIMC0 register
is the overall on/off control, setting PCKEN bit to “1” enables the Peripheral Clock and clearing
PCKEN bit to “0” disables it. The required division ratio of the system clock is selected using the
PCKP1 and PCKP0 bits in the same register. If the device enters the SLEEP Mode, this will disable
the Peripheral Clock output.

Serial Interface – SPIA
The device contains an independent SPI function. It is important not to confuse this independent SPI
function with the additional one contained within the combined SIM function, which is described
in another section of this datasheet. This independent SPI function will carry the name SPIA to
distinguish it from the other one in the SIM.
This SPIA interface is often used to communicate with external peripheral devices such as sensors,
Flash or EEPROM memory devices, etc. Originally developed by Motorola, the four line SPI
interface is a synchronous serial data interface that has a relatively simple communication protocol
simplifying the programming requirements when communicating with external hardware devices.
The communication is full duplex and operates as a slave/master type, where the device can be
either master or slave. Although the SPIA interface specification can control multiple slave devices
from a single master, this device is provided only one SCSA pin. If the master needs to control
multiple slave devices from a single master, the master can use I/O pins to select the slave devices.
SPIA Interface Operation
The SPIA interface is a full duplex synchronous serial data link. It is a four line interface with pin
names SDIA, SDOA, SCKA and SCSA. Pins SDIA and SDOA are the Serial Data Input and Serial
Data Output lines, SCKA is the Serial Clock line and SCSA is the Slave Select line. As the SPIA
interface pins are pin-shared with other functions, the SPIA interface pins must first be selected
by configuring the corresponding selection bits in the pin-shared function selection registers.
The SPIA interface function is disabled or enabled using the SPIAEN bit in the SPIAC0 register.
Communication between devices connected to the SPIA interface is carried out in a slave/master
mode with all data transfer initiations being implemented by the master. The master also controls the
clock/signal. As the device only contains a single SCSA pin only one slave device can be utilised.
The SCSA pin is controlled by the application program, set the the SACSEN bit to “1” to enable the
SCSA pin function and clear the SACSEN bit to “0” to place the SCSA pin into an I/O function.
SPIA Master/Slave Connection
The SPIA Serial Interface function includes the following features:
• Full-duplex synchronous data transfer
• Both Master and Slave mode
• LSB first or MSB first data transmission modes
• Transmission complete flag
• Rising or falling active clock edge
The status of the SPIA interface pins is determined by a number of factors such as whether the
device is in the master or slave mode and upon the condition of certain control bits such as SACSEN
and SPIAEN.

SPIAD Register
The SPIAD register is used to store the data being transmitted and received. Before the device
writes data to the SPIA bus, the actual data to be transmitted must be placed in the SPIAD register.
After the data is received from the SPIA bus, the device can read it from the SPIAD register. Any
transmission or reception of data from the SPIA bus must be made via the SPIA register.

There are also three control registers for the SPIA interface, SPIAC0, SPIAC1 and SBSC. Register
SPIAC0 is used to control the enable/disable function and to set the data transmission clock
frequency. Register SPIAC1 is used for other control functions such as LSB/MSB selection, write
collision flag, etc.

011: SPIA master mode with clock fL
100: SPIA master mode with clock TM0 CCRP match frequency/2
101: SPIA slave mode
11x: Reserved
These bits are used to control the SPIA Master/Slave selection and the SPIA Master
clock frequency. The SPIA clock is a function of the system clock but can also be
chosen to be sourced from TM0. If the SPIA Slave Mode is selected then the clock
will be supplied by an external Master device.

Bit 1SPIAEN: SPIIA Enable Control
0: Disable
1: Enable
The bit is the overall on/off control for the SPIA interface. When the SPIAEN bit
is cleared to zero to disable the SPIA interface, the SDIA, SDOA, SCKA and SCSA
lines will lose the SPI function and the SPIA operating current will be reduced to a
minimum value. When the bit is high the SPIA interface is enabled.

Bit 5SACKPOL: SPIA clock line base condition selection
0: The SCKA line will be high when the clock is inactive
1: The SCKA line will be low when the clock is inactive
The SACKPOL bit determines the base condition of the clock line, if the bit is high,
then the SCKA line will be low when the clock is inactive. When the SACKPOL bit is
low, then the SCKA line will be high when the clock is inactive.
Bit 4SACKEG: SPIA SCKA clock active edge type selection
SACKPOL=0
0: SCKA is high base level and data capture at SCKA rising edge
1: SCKA is high base level and data capture at SCKA falling edge
SACKPOL=1
0: SCKA is low base level and data capture at SCKA falling edge
1: SCKA is low base level and data capture at SCKA rising edge
The SACKEG and SACKPOL bits are used to setup the way that the clock signal
outputs and inputs data on the SPIA bus. These two bits must be configured before
data transfer is executed otherwise an erroneous clock edge may be generated. The
SACKPOL bit determines the base condition of the clock line, if the bit is high, then
the SCKA line will be low when the clock is inactive. When the SACKPOL bit is
low, then the SCKA line will be high when the clock is inactive. The SACKEG bit
determines active clock edge type which depends upon the condition of SACKPOL
bit.
Bit 3SAMLS: SPIA data shift order
0: LSB first
1: MSB first
This is the data shift select bit and is used to select how the data is transferred, either
MSB or LSB first. Setting the bit high will select MSB first and low for LSB first.
Bit 2SACSEN: SPIA SCSA pin control
0: Disable
1: Enable
The SACSEN bit is used as an enable/disable for the SCSA pin. If this bit is low, then the
SCSA pin function will be disabled and can be placed into I/O pin or other pin-shared
functions. If the bit is high, the SCSA pin will be enabled and used as a select pin.
Bit 1SAWCOL: SPIA write collision flag
0: No collision
1: Collision
The SAWCOL flag is used to detect whether a data collision has occurred or not.
If this bit is high, it means that data has been attempted to be written to the SPIAD
register duting a data transfer operation. This writing operation will be ignored if data
is being transferred. This bit can be cleared by the application program.
Bit 0SATRF: SPIA Transmit/Receive complete flag
0: SPIA data is being transferred
1: SPIA data transfer is completed
The SATRF bit is the Transmit/Receive Complete flag and is set to 1 automatically
when an SPIA data transfer is completed, but must cleared to 0 by the application
program. It can be used to generate an interrupt.

SPIA Bus Enable/Disable
To enable the SPIA bus, set SACSEN= 1 and SCSA=0, then wait for data to be written into the
SPIAD (TXRX buffer) register. For the Master Mode, after data has been written to the SPIAD
(TXRX buffer) register, then transmission or reception will start automatically. When all the data has
been transferred the SATRF bit should be set. For the Slave Mode, when clock pulses are received
on SCKA, data in the TXRX buffer will be shifted out or data on SDIA will be shifted in.
To disable the SPIA bus SCKA, SDIA, SDOA, SCSA will become I/O pins or the other functions.
SPIA Communication
After the SPIA interface is enabled by setting the SPIAEN bit high, then in the Master Mode, when
data is written to the SPIAD register, transmission/reception will begin simultaneously. When the
data transfer is complete, the SATRF flag will be set automatically, but must be cleared using the
application program. In the Slave Mode, when the clock signal from the master has been received,
any data in the SPIAD register will be transmitted and any data on the SDIA pin will be shifted into
the SPIAD registers.
The master should output a SCSA signal to enable the slave device before a clock signal is provided.
The slave data to be transferred should be well prepared at the appropriate moment relative to the
SCSA signal depending upon the configurations of the SACKPOLB bit and SACKEG bit. The
accompanying timing diagram shows the relationship between the slave data and SCSA signal for
various configurations of the SACKPOLB and SACKEG bits. The SPIA will continue to function if
the SPIA clock source is active.

   SPIA Transfer Control Flowchart
All communication is carried out using the 4-line interface for either Master or Slave Mode.
The SACSEN bit in the SPIAC1 register controls the overall function of the SPIA interface. Setting
this bit high will enable the SPIA interface by allowing the SCSA line to be active, which can then
be used to control the SPIA interface. If the SACSEN bit is low, the SPIA interface will be disabled
and the SCSA line will be an I/O pin or the other functions and can therefore not be used for control
of the SPIA interface. If the SACSEN bit and the SPIAEN bit in the SPIAC0 register are set high,
this will place the SDIA line in a floating condition and the SDOA line high. If in Master Mode the
SCKA line will be either high or low depending upon the clock polarity selection bit SACKPOL in
the SPIAC1 register. If in Slave Mode the SCKA line will be in a floating condition. If SPIAEN is
low then the bus will be disabled and SCSA, SDIA, SDOA and SCKA will all become I/O pins or the
other functions. In the Master Mode the Master will always generate the clock signal. The clock and
data transmission will be initiated after data has been written into the SPIAD register. In the Slave
Mode, the clock signal will be received from an external master device for both data transmission
and reception. The following sequences show the order to be followed for data transfer in both
Master and Slave Mode:

Master Mode
• Step 1
Select the clock source and Master mode using the SASPI2~SASPI0 bits in the SPIAC0 control
register
• Step 2
Setup the SACSEN bit and setup the SAMLS bit to choose if the data is MSB or LSB shifted
first, this must be same as the Slave device.
• Step 3
Setup the SPIAEN bit in the SPIAC0 control register to enable the SPIA interface.
• Step 4
For write operations: write the data to the SPIAD register, which will actually place the data into
the TXRX buffer. Then use the SCKA and SCSA lines to output the data. After this go to step 5.
For read operations: the data transferred in on the SDIA line will be stored in the TXRX buffer
until all the data has been received at which point it will be latched into the SPIAD register.
• Step 5
Check the SAWCOL bit if set high then a collision error has occurred so return to step 4. If equal
to zero then go to the following step.
• Step 6
Check the SATRF bit or wait for a SPIA serial bus interrupt.
• Step 7
Read data from the SPIAD register.
• Step 8
Clear SATRF.
• Step 9

Error Detection
The SAWCOL bit in the SPIAC1 register is provided to indicate errors during data transfer. The bit
is set by the SPIA serial Interface but must be cleared by the application program. This bit indicates
a data collision has occurred which happens if a write to the SPIAD register takes place during a
data transfer operation and will prevent the write operation from continuing.

Interrupts
Interrupts are an important part of any microcontroller system. When an external event or an
internal function such as a Timer Module requires microcontroller attention, their corresponding
interrupt will enforce a temporary suspension of the main program allowing the microcontroller to
direct attention to their respective needs. The device contains several external interrupt and internal
interrupts functions. The external interrupts are generated by the action of the external INT0 and
INT1 pins, while the internal interrupts are generated by various internal functions such as the TMs,
LVD, SIM, SPIA and USB.
Interrupt Registers
Overall interrupt control, which basically means the setting of request flags when certain
microcontroller conditions occur and the setting of interrupt enable bits by the application program,
is controlled by a series of registers, located in the Special Purpose Data Memory, as shown in the
accompanying table. The number of registers depends upon the device chosen but fall into three
categories. The first is the INTC0~INTC2 registers which setup the primary interrupts, the second
is the MFI0~MFI1 registers which setup the Multi-function interrupts. Finally there is an INTEG
register to setup the external interrupt trigger edge type.
Each register contains a number of enable bits to enable or disable individual registers as well as
interrupt flags to indicate the presence of an interrupt request. The naming convention of these
follows a specific pattern. First is listed an abbreviated interrupt type, then the (optional) number of
that interrupt followed by either an “E” for enable/disable bit or “F” for request flag.

Interrupt Operation
When the conditions for an interrupt event occur, such as a TM Compare P, Compare A or Compare
B match etc, the relevant interrupt request flag will be set. Whether the request flag actually
generates a program jump to the relevant interrupt vector is determined by the condition of the
interrupt enable bit. If the enable bit is set high then the program will jump to its relevant vector;
if the enable bit is zero then although the interrupt request flag is set an actual interrupt will not be
generated and the program will not jump to the relevant interrupt vector. The global interrupt enable
bit, if cleared to zero, will disable all interrupts.
When an interrupt is generated, the Program Counter, which stores the address of the next instruction
to be executed, will be transferred onto the stack. The Program Counter will then be loaded with a
new address which will be the value of the corresponding interrupt vector. The microcontroller will
then fetch its next instruction from this interrupt vector. The instruction at this vector will usually
be a “JMP” which will jump to another section of program which is known as the interrupt service
routine. Here is located the code to control the appropriate interrupt. The interrupt service routine
must be terminated with a “RETI” , which retrieves the original Program Counter address from
the stack and allows the microcontroller to continue with normal execution at the point where the
interrupt occurred.
The various interrupt enable bits, together with their associated request flags, are shown in the
accompanying diagrams with their order of priority. Some interrupt sources have their own
individual vector while others share the same multi-function interrupt vector. Once an interrupt
subroutine is serviced, all the other interrupts will be blocked, as the global interrupt enable bit,
EMI bit will be cleared automatically. This will prevent any further interrupt nesting from occurring.
However, if other interrupt requests occur during this interval, although the interrupt will not be
immediately serviced, the request flag will still be recorded.
If an interrupt requires immediate servicing while the program is already in another interrupt service
routine, the EMI bit should be set after entering the routine, to allow interrupt nesting. If the stack
is full, the interrupt request will not be acknowledged, even if the related interrupt is enabled, until
the Stack Pointer is decremented. If immediate service is desired, the stack must be prevented from
becoming full. In case of simultaneous requests, the accompanying diagram shows the priority that
is applied. All of the interrupt request flags when set will wake-up the device if it is in SLEEP or
IDLE Mode, however to prevent a wake-up from occurring the corresponding flag should be set
before the device is in SLEEP or IDLE Mode.

External Interrupt
The external interrupts are controlled by signal transitions on the pins INT0 and INT1. An external
interrupt request will take place when the external interrupt request flags, INT0F, INT1F, are set,
which will occur when a transition, whose type is chosen by the edge select bits, appears on the
external interrupt pins. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, the
global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and respective external interrupt enable bit, INT0E, INT1E, must
first be set. Additionally the correct interrupt edge type must be selected using the INTEG register to
enable the external interrupt function and to choose the trigger edge type. As the external interrupt
pins are pin-shared with I/O pins, they can only be configured as external interrupt pins if their
external interrupt enable bit in the corresponding interrupt register has been set. The pin must also
be setup as an input by setting the corresponding bit in the port control register. When the interrupt
is enabled, the stack is not full and the correct transition type appears on the external interrupt pin,
a subroutine call to the external interrupt vector, will take place. When the interrupt is serviced, the
external interrupt request flags, INT0F, INT1F, will be automatically reset and the EMI bit will be
automatically cleared to disable other interrupts. Note that any pull-high resistor selections on the
external interrupt pins will remain valid even if the pin is used as an external interrupt input.
The INTEG register is used to select the type of active edge that will trigger the external interrupt.
A choice of either rising or falling or both edge types can be chosen to trigger an external interrupt.
Note that the INTEG register can also be used to disable the external interrupt function.

USB Interrupt
A USB interrupt request will take place when the USB interrupt request flags, USBF, is set, a
situation that will occur when an endpoint is accessed. To allow the program to branch to its
respective interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and USB interrupt enable
bit, USBE, must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and an endpoint
is accessed, a subroutine call to the USB interrupt vector, will take place. When the interrupt is
serviced, the USB interrupt request flag, USBF, will be automatically reset and the EMI bit will be
automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.
Serial Interface Module Interrupt – SIM Interrupt
The Serial Interface Module interrupt, known as the SIM interrupt, will take place when the
SIM Interrupt request flag, SIMF, is set, which occurs when a byte of data has been received or
transmitted by the SIM interface. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector
address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and the Serial Interface Interrupt enable bit, SIME,
must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and a byte of data has been
transmitted or received by the SIM interface, a subroutine call to the respective Interrupt vector, will
take place. When the Serial Interface Interrupt is serviced, the EMI bit will be automatically cleared
to disable other interrupts and the SIMF flag will be automatically cleared as well.
Serial Peripheral Interface Interrupt – SPIA Interrupt
The Serial Peripheral Interface Interrupt, also known as the SPIA interrupt, will take place when the
SPIA Interrupt request flag, SPIAF, is set, which occurs when a byte of data has been received or
transmitted by the SPIA interface. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector
address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and the Serial Interface Interrupt enable bit, SPIAE,
must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and a byte of data has been
transmitted or received by the SPIA interface, a subroutine call to the respective Interrupt vector,
will take place. When the interrupt is serviced, the Serial Interface Interrupt flag, SPIAF, will be
automatically cleared. The EMI bit will also be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.
Low Voltage Detect Interrupt – LVD Interrupt
The Low Voltage Detector interrupt, known as the LVD interrupt, will take place when the LVD
Interrupt request flag, LVF, is set, which occurs when the Low Voltage Detector function detects a
low power supply voltage. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address,
the global interrupt enable bit, EMI and Low Voltage Interrupt enable bit, LVE, must first be set.
When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and a low voltage condition occurs, a subroutine
call to the LVD Interrupt vector, will take place. When the Low Voltage Interrupt is serviced,
the EMI bit will be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts and the LVF flag will be
automatically cleared as well.

Multi-function Interrupt
Within this device there is various Multi-function interrupts. Unlike the other independent interrupts,
these interrupts have no independent source, but rather are formed from other existing interrupt
sources, namely the TM Interrupts.
A Multi-function interrupt request will take place when any of the Multi-function interrupt request
flags, MF0F~MF3F are set. The Multi-function interrupt flags will be set when any of their included
functions generate an interrupt request flag. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt
vector address, when the Multi-function interrupt is enabled and the stack is not full, and either one
of the interrupts contained within each of Multi-function interrupt occurs, a subroutine call to one of
the Multi-function interrupt vectors will take place. When the interrupt is serviced, the related MultiFunction request flag will be automatically reset and the EMI bit will be automatically cleared to
disable other interrupts.
However, it must be noted that, although the Multi-function Interrupt flags will be automatically
reset when the interrupt is serviced, the request flags from the original source of the Multi-function
interrupts, namely the TM Interrupts, interrupt will not be automatically reset and must be manually
reset by the application program.
TM Interrupts
The Compact and Standard Type TMs have two interrupts each. All of the TM interrupts are
contained within the Multi-function Interrupts. For each of the Compact and Standard Type TMs
there are two interrupt request flags TnPF and TnAF and two enable bits TnPE and TnAE. A TM
interrupt request will take place when any of the TM request flags are set, a situation which occurs
when a TM comparator P or A match situation happens.
To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable
bit, EMI, respective TM Interrupt enable bit, and relevant Multi-function Interrupt enable bit, MFnE,
must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and a TM comparator match
situation occurs, a subroutine call to the relevant Multi-function Interrupt vector locations, will take
place. When the TM interrupt is serviced, the EMI bit will be automatically cleared to disable other
interrupts, however only the related MFnF flag will be automatically cleared. As the TM interrupt
request flags will not be automatically cleared, they have to be cleared by the application program.
Interrupt Wake-up Function
Each of the interrupt functions has the capability of waking up the microcontroller when in the
SLEEP or IDLE Mode. A wake-up is generated when an interrupt request flag changes from low to
high and is independent of whether the interrupt is enabled or not. Therefore, even though the device
is in the SLEEP or IDLE Mode and its system oscillator stopped, situations such as external edge
transitions on the external interrupt pins, a low power supply voltage or comparator input change
may cause their respective interrupt flag to be set high and consequently generate an interrupt. Care
must therefore be taken if spurious wake-up situations are to be avoided. If an interrupt wake-up
function is to be disabled then the corresponding interrupt request flag should be set high before the
device enters the SLEEP or IDLE Mode. The interrupt enable bits have no effect on the interrupt
wake-up function.

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
Programming Considerations
By disabling the relevant interrupt enable bits, a requested interrupt can be prevented from being
serviced, however, once an interrupt request flag is set, it will remain in this condition in the
interrupt register until the corresponding interrupt is serviced or until the request flag is cleared by
the application program.
Where a certain interrupt is contained within a Multi-function interrupt, then when the interrupt
service routine is executed, as only the Multi-function interrupt request flags, MF0F~MF3F, will
be automatically cleared, the individual request flag for the function needs to be cleared by the
application program.
It is recommended that programs do not use the “CALL” instruction within the interrupt service
subroutine. Interrupts often occur in an unpredictable manner or need to be serviced immediately.
If only one stack is left and the interrupt is not well controlled, the original control sequence will be
damaged once a CALL subroutine is executed in the interrupt subroutine.
Every interrupt has the capability of waking up the microcontroller when it is in the SLEEP or IDLE
Mode, the wake up being generated when the interrupt request flag changes from low to high. If it is
required to prevent a certain interrupt from waking up the microcontroller then its respective request
flag should be first set high before enter SLEEP or IDLE Mode.
As only the Program Counter is pushed onto the stack, then when the interrupt is serviced, if the
contents of the accumulator, status register or other registers are altered by the interrupt service
program, their contents should be saved to the memory at the beginning of the interrupt service
routine.
To return from an interrupt subroutine, either a RET or RETI instruction may be executed. The RETI
instruction in addition to executing a return to the main program also automatically sets the EMI
bit high to allow further interrupts. The RET instruction however only executes a return to the main
program leaving the EMI bit in its present zero state and therefore disabling the execution of further
interrupts.

Low Voltage Detector – LVD
Each device has a Low Voltage Detector function, also known as LVD. This enabled the device to
monitor the power supply voltage, VDD, and provide a warning signal should it fall below a certain
level. This function may be especially useful in battery applications where the supply voltage will
gradually reduce as the battery ages, as it allows an early warning battery low signal to be generated.
The Low Voltage Detector also has the capability of generating an interrupt signal.
LVD Register
The Low Voltage Detector function is controlled using a single register with the name LVDC. Three
bits in this register, VLVD2~VLVD0, are used to select one of eight fixed voltages below which a
low voltage condition will be determined. A low voltage condition is indicated when the LVDO bit
is set. If the LVDO bit is low, this indicates that the VDD voltage is above the preset low voltage
value. The LVDEN bit is used to control the overall on/off function of the low voltage detector.
Setting the bit high will enable the low voltage detector. Clearing the bit to zero will switch off the
internal low voltage detector circuits. As the low voltage detector will consume a certain amount of
power, it may be desirable to switch off the circuit when not in use, an important consideration in
power sensitive battery powered applications.

LVD Operation
The Low Voltage Detector function operates by comparing the power supply voltage, VDD, with a
pre-specified voltage level stored in the LVDC register. This has a range of between 2.0V and 4.0V.
When the power supply voltage, VDD, falls below this pre-determined value, the LVDO bit will be
set high indicating a low power supply voltage condition. The Low Voltage Detector function is
supplied by a reference voltage which will be automatically enabled. When the device is powered
down the low voltage detector will remain active if the LVDEN bit is high. After enabling the Low
Voltage Detector, a time delay tLVDS should be allowed for the circuitry to stabilise before reading the
LVDO bit. Note also that as the VDD voltage may rise and fall rather slowly, at the voltage nears that
of VLVD, there may be multiple bit LVDO transitions.
The Low Voltage Detector also has its own interrupt, providing an alternative means of low voltage
detection, in addition to polling the LVDO bit. The interrupt will only be generated after a delay of
tLVD after the LVDO bit has been set high by a low voltage condition. When the device is powered
down the Low Voltage Detector will remain active if the LVDEN bit is high. In this case, the LVF
interrupt request flag will be set, causing an interrupt to be generated if VDD falls below the preset
LVD voltage. This will cause the device to wake-up from the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, however, if
the Low Voltage Detector wake up function is not required then the LVF flag should be first set high
before the device enters the SLEEP or IDLE Mode.
USB Interface
The USB interface is a 4-wire serial bus that allows communication between a host device and up
to 127 max peripheral devices on the same bus. A token based protocol method is used by the host
device for communication control. Other advantages of the USB bus include live plugging and
unplugging and dynamic device configuration. As the complexity of USB data protocol does not
permit comprehensive USB operation information to be provided in this datasheet, the reader should
therefore consult other external information for a detailed USB understanding.
The device includes a USB interface function allowing for the convenient design of USB peripheral
products.
The USB disable/enable control bit “USBdis” is in the SYSC Register. If the USB is disabled, then
V33O will be floating, the UDP/UDN lines will become I/O functions, and the USB SIE will be
disabled.
Power Planning
The power sourced from the VDD pin is supplied to the MCU and USB SIE except the HIRC
oscillator. For the HIRC oscillator, it is supplied by the HVDD pin. For the PA port, it can be
configured using the PAPS1 and PAPS0 registers to define the pins PA0~PA7 are supplied by the
MCU VDD, VDDIO or the V33O pin.

USB Suspend Wake-up and Remote Wake-up
If there is no signal on the USB bus for over 3ms, the devices will go into a suspend mode. The
Suspend flag, SUSP, in the USC register, will then be set high and an USB interrupt will be
generated to indicate that the devices should jump to the suspend state to meet the requirements of
the USB suspend current spec. In order to meet the requirements of the suspend current the firmware
should disable the USB clock by clearing the USBCKEN bit to “0”.
The suspend current can be further decreased by setting the SUSP2 bit in the UCC register. When
the resume signal is sent out by the host, the device will be woken up the by the USB interrupt and
the Resume bit in the USC register will be set. To ensure correct device operation, the program must
set the USBCKEN bit in the UCC register high and clear the SUSP2 bit in the UCC register. The
Resume signal will be cleared before the idle signal is sent out by the host and the Suspend line in
the USC register will change to zero. So when the MCU detects the Suspend bit in the USC register,
the condition of the Resume line should be noted and taken into consideration.

Suspend Wake-up
The device has a remote wake up function which can wake-up the USB Host by sending a wake-up

The device has 4 Endpoints, EP0, EP1, EP2 and EP3. The EP0 supports Control transfer and other
endpoints, EP1~EP3, support Interrupt or Bulk transfer.
All endpoints except EP0 can be configure as 8, 16, 32, 64 FIFO size by the register UFC0 and
UFC1. EP0 has 8-byte FIFO size. The Total FIFO size is 256+8 bytes for the device. As the USB
FIFO is assigned from the last bank of the Data RAM and has a start address of nFFH to the upper
address, dependent on the FIFO size, if the corresponding data RAM bank is used for both general
purpose RAM and the USB FIFO, special care should be taken that the RAM “EQU” definition
should not overlap with the USB FIFO RAM address.
The URD in the USC register is the USB reset signal control function definition bit. The USB FIFO
size definition for IN/OUT control depends on the UFC, UFIEN and UFOEN registers. If OUT 1 not
used, then the OUT 1 FIFO will not be defined and IN 2 will be defined as IN 1 afterwards.

0: SUSP bit goes low
1: Leave Suspend mode
When the USB leaves the suspend mode, the RESUME bit will be set to “1” by SIE
and then an interrupt will be generated to wake-up the MCU. In order to detect the
suspend state, the MCU should set USBCKEN and clear the SUSP2 bit in the UCC
register to enable the SIE detect function. The RESUME bit will be cleared to 0 when
the SUSP goes low. When the MCU is detecting the SUSP, the RESUME state (causes
the MCU to wake-up) should be noted and taken into consideration.
Bit 2URST: USB reset indication bit
0: No USB reset occurs
1: USB reset occurred
This bit is set and cleared by the USB SIE. This bit is used to indicate a USB reset
event on the USB bus. When this bit is set to “1”, this indicates that a USB reset has
occurred and that a USB interrupt will be initialized.
Bit 1RMWK: USB remote wake-up control
0: No remote wake-up is asserted
1: Remote wake-up is asserted
This bit is set by the MCU to inform the external USB host leaving the suspend mode.
When this bit is set to 1, a high pulse with a pulse width of 4μs will be generatedand
and sent to the USB host to ask for a USB remote wake-up to leave the suspend mode.
Bit 0SUSP: USB suspend indication
0: Not in the suspend mode
1: Enter the suspend mode
When this bit is set to 1, it indicates that the USB bus has entered the suspend mode.
The USB interrupt will also be triggered when this bit changes state from low to high.

1: Decive address is updated after the USB host reads out the data
This bit is used to configure the SIE to automatically update the device address by the
value stored in the AWR register. When this bit is set to 1 by application program, the
SIE will update the device address with the value stored in the AWR register after the
USB host has successfully read the data from the device by an IN token operation.
Otherwise, when this bit is cleared to 0, the SIE will update the device address
immediately after an address is written into the AWR register. Therefore, in order to
work properly, the application program has to clear this bit after the next value SETUP
token is received.

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
RF Transceiver
The RF transceiver operates in the world wide ISM frequency band of 2400~2483.5 MHz. Burst
mode transmission and up to 2Mbps air data rate make them suitable for applications requiring ultra
low power consumption. It operates as either a transmitter or a receiver in the Time Division Duplex
mode, abbreviated as TDD.
The RF channel frequency determines the center of the channel used by the transceiver. The
frequency is set by configuring the RF_CH register in register bank 0 according to the following
formula: F0= 2400 + RF_CH (MHz). The resolution of the RF channel frequency is 1MHz.
A transmitter and a receiver must be programmed with the same RF channel frequency to be able to
communicate with each other. The output power of the transceiver is set by the RF_PWR bits in the
RF_SETUP register. Demodulation is implemented with the embedded data slicer and bit recovery
logic. The air data rate can be programmed to be 250Kbps, 1Mbps or 2Mbps by configuring the RF_
DR_HIGH and RF_DR_LOW registers. A transmitter and a receiver must be programmed with the
same setting.

Power Down Mode
The Power down mode of the RF Transceiver is entered by setting the PWR_UP bit in the CONFIG
register to low. In the power down mode the transceiver block is in the sleep mode where it has
minimal current consumption. However, the SPI interface is still active in this mode and all register
values can be configured by the SPI interface.
The MCU and RF Transceiver are powered down independently of each other. The method of
powering down the MCU is covered in the previous MCU section of the datasheet. The RF
Transceiver must be powered down before the MCU is powered down. This is implemented by
first clearing the PWR_UP bit in the CONFIG register to disable the RF Transceiver circuitry and
then pulling the line to high to disable the RF SPI interface circuitry. After the RF transceiver is
completely powered down, the MCU can be powered down to minimise the power consumption.
Standby-I Mode
By setting the PWR_UP bit in the CONFIG register to 1 and de-asserting the CE signal to a low
state, the device enters the Standby-I mode. The Standby-I mode is used to minimise the average
current consumption and also to maintain a shorter start-up time. In this mode, the clock is still
active. When the CE signal is set to a low state, the transceiver will return to the Standby-I mode
regardless of whether it is in the TX or RX mode.
Standby-II Mode
In the Standby-II mode more RF Transceiver circuitry is active than in the Standby-I mode and
therefore more current is consumed. The transceiver will enter the Standby-II mode from the TX
mode when the CE signal is set to a high state and the TX FIFO is empty. If a new data packet is
uploaded into the TX FIFO, the device will automatically return to the TX mode and the packet will
be transmitted.

BC68FB540
I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
TX Mode
• Primary Transmit Device – PTX, PRIM_RX=0
The TX mode is an active mode where the PTX device transmits a data packet. To enter this
mode from power down mode, the PTX device must set the PWR_UP bit to high, the PRIM_
RX bit to low, a payload in the TX FIFO and generate a high pulse on the CE line for more than
15μs.
The PTX device stays in the TX mode until it finishes transmitting the current packet and then
enters the Standby-II mode. If the CE signal is in a low state, it will return to Standby-I mode.
If the CE signal is in a high state, the next action will be determined by the status of the TX
FIFO. If the TX FIFO is not empty, the PTX device will enter the TX mode and then transmit
the next packet. If the TX FIFO is empty, the PTX device will remain in the Standby-II mode.
It is important to note that it never remains in the TX mode for more than 4ms during a transmit
operation.
If the auto retransmit is enabled by setting the EN_AA bit to 1 and an auto acknowledge is
required by setting the NO_ACK bit to 0, the PTX device will enter the TX mode from the
Standby-I mode when the ARD has elapsed and the number of retry is less than the ARC.
The PTX device will enter the RX mode from the TX mode only when the EN_AA bit is set to 1
and the NO_ACK bit is cleared to 0 to receive the acknowledge packet.
RX Mode
• Primary Receive Device – PRX, PRIM_RX=1
The RX mode is an active mode where the transceiver is configured as a receiver. To enter this
RX mode from the Standby-I mode, the PRX device must set the PWR_UP bit to high, the
PRIM_RX bit to high and the CE signal to high. In this mode the receiver demodulates the
signals from the RF channel, constantly presenting the demodulated data to the packet processing
engine. The packet processing engine continuously searches for a valid packet. If a valid packet
is found by a matching address and a valid CRC, the packet payload is presented to a vacant slot
in the RX FIFO. If the RX FIFO is full, the received packet will be discarded.
The PRX device remains in the RX mode until the MCU configures it to enter the Standby-I
mode or Power Down mode. In the RX mode a carrier detection signal, CD, is made available.
The CD signal is set high when an RF signal is detected on the receiving frequency channel. The
internal CD signal is filtered before being written into the CD register. The RF signal must be
present for at least 128 μs before the CD signal is set high.
The PRX device will enter the TX mode from the RX mode only when the EN_AA bit is set to
1 and the NO_ACK bit is cleared to 0 in the received packet to transmit an acknowledge packet
with a pending payload in the TX FIFO.
RF Transceiver Packet Processing

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
Preamble
The preamble is a bit sequence used to detect the “0” and “1” levels in the receiver. The preamble
is one byte long whose value is either 01010101 or 10101010. If the first bit in the address is 1, the
preamble is automatically set to 10101010 while if the first bit is 0, the preamble is automatically
set to 01010101. This is done to ensure there are enough transitions in the preamble to stabilise the
receiver.
Address
This field is the address for the receiver. An address ensures that the packet is detected by the target
receiver. The address field can be configured to be 3, 4 or 5 bytes long by the AW register. The PRX
device can open up to six data pipes to support up to six PTX devices with specific addresses. All six
PTX device addresses are searched simultaneously. In the PRX device, the data pipes are enabled
with the corresponding control bits in the EN_RXADDR register. The default status is that only
data pipe 0 and pipe 1 are enabled. Each data pipe address can be configured in the RX_ADDR_PX
registers. Each pipe can have up to a 5 byte configurable address. Data pipe 0 has a unique 5-byte
address. Data pipes 1~5 share the 4 most significant address bytes. The least significant byte must be
unique for all 6 pipes.
To ensure that the ACK packet from the PRX is transmitted to the correct PTX, the PRX takes the
data pipe address where it received the packet and uses it as the TX address when transmitting the
ACK packet.
On the PRX device the RX_ADDR_Pn defined as the pipe address must be unique. On the PTX
device the TX_ADDR must be the same as the RX_ADDR_P0 on the PTX, and as the pipe address
for the designated pipe on the PRX. No other data pipe can receive data until a complete packet is
received by a data pipe that has detected its address. When multiple PTX devices are transmitting
to a PRX, the ARD can be used to skew the auto retransmission so that they only block each other
once.
Packet Control
When the Dynamic Payload Length function is enabled, the packet control field contains a 6-bit
payload length field, a 2-bit Packet Identity, PID, field and a 1-bit NO_ACK flag.
• Payload Length
The payload length field is used to define the payload length and only used if the Dynamic
Payload Length function is enabled.
• PID
The 2-bit PID field is used to detect whether the received packet is new or retransmitted. The PID
prevents the PRX device from presenting the same payload more than once to the MCU. The
PID field is incremented at the TX side for each new packet received through the SPI interface.
The PID and CRC fields are used by the PRX device to determine whether a packet is old or
new. When several data packets are lost on the link, the PID fields may become equal to the last
received PID. If a packet has the same PID as the previous packet, the transceiver compares the
CRC sums from both packets. If the CRC sums are also the same, the last received packet will be
considered a copy of the previously received packet and be discarded.

• NO_ACK
The NO_ACK flag is used only when the auto acknowledgement feature is used. Setting the flag
high informs the receiver that the packet is not to be auto acknowledged. The PTX device can
set the NO_ACK flag bit in the Packet Control Field with the command: W_TX_PAYLOAD_
NOACK. However, the function must first be enabled in the FEATURE register by setting the
EN_DYN_ACK bit. When the auto acknowledgement function is used, the PTX will directly
enter to the Standby-I mode after the packet is transmitted and the PRX device does not transmit
an ACK packet when it receives the PTX transmitted packet.
Payload
The payload field is used to define the contents of the packet. It can be from 0 to 32 bytes wide
and transmitted on-air as it is uploaded (unmodified) to the device. The transceiver provides two
alternatives for handling payload lengths, static and dynamic payload length. The static payload
length of the six data pipes can be individually set.
The default alternative is static payload length. With static payload length all packets between a
transmitter and a receiver have the same length. The static payload length is set by the RX_PW_Pn
registers. The payload length on the transmitter side is set by the number of bytes clocked into the
TX_FIFO and must equal to the value in the RX_PW_Pn register on the receiver side. Each pipe has
its own payload length.
The Dynamic Payload Length, DPL, is an alternative to the static payload length. The DPL enables
the transmitter to send packets with variable payload lengths to the receiver. This means that for a
system with different payload lengths it is not necessary to scale the packet length to the longest
payload.
With the DPL feature the transceiver can decode the payload length of the received packet
automatically instead of using the RX_PW_Pn registers. The MCU can read the length of the
received payload using the command: R_RX_PL_WID. In order to enable the DPL function, the
EN_DPL bit in the FEATURE register must be set. In the RX mode the DYNPD register has to be
properly configured. A PTX device must set the DPL_P0 bit in the DYNPD register to transmit to a
PRX with the DPL function being enabled.
CRC
The CRC is the error detection mechanism in the packet. The number of bytes in the CRC is set
by the CRCO bit in the CONFIG register. It may be either 1 or 2 bytes and is calculated over the
address, Packet Control Field and Payload. The polynomial for a1-byte CRC is X8 + X2 + X + 1 with
an initial value of 0xFFH. The polynomial for a 2-byte CRC is X16 + X12 + X5 + 1 with an initial
value of 0xFFFFH. No packet is accepted by the receiver side if the CRC fails.

I/O Flash USB 8-Bit MCU with 2.4GHz RF Transceiver
Packet Handling
The transceiver circuitry uses burst mode for payload transmission and reception.
The transmitter fetches the payload from the TX FIFO, automatically assembles it into a packet
and transmits the packet in a very short burst period with a 1Mbps or 2Mbps air data rate. After a
transmission, if the PTX packet has the NO_ACK flag set, the transceiver sets the TX_DS bit and
gives an active low interrupt pulse on the IRQ line sent to the MCU. If the PTX is an ACK packet,
the PTX needs to receive an ACK from the PRX and then assert the TX_DS IRQ.
The receiver automatically validates and disassembles the received packet. If there is a valid packet
within the new payload, it will write the payload into the RX FIFO, set the RX_DR bit and give an
active low interrupt pulse on the IRQ line sent to the MCU.
When the auto acknowledge function is enabled by setting the EN_AA bit to 1, the PTX device will
automatically wait for an acknowledge packet after transmission and re-transmit the original packet
after the ARD delay until an acknowledge packet is received or the number of re-transmission
exceeds a threshold defined by the ARC field. If the number of re-transmissions exceeds a threshold
defined by the ARC field, the transceiver will set the MAX_RT bit and give an active low interrupt
pulse on the IRQ line sent to the MCU. Two packet loss counters, ARC_CNT and PLOS_CNT,
are incremented by one each time a packet is lost. The ARC_CNT counter counts the number of
retransmissions for the current transaction. The PLOS_CNT counter counts the total number of
retransmissions since the last channel change. The ARC_CNT counter is reset by initiating a new
transaction while the PLOS_CNT counter is reset by writing a value to the RF_CH register to
change a RF channel. It is possible to use the information in the OBSERVE_TX register to make an
overall assessment of the channel quality.
The PTX device will retransmit if its RX FIFO is full but the received ACK frame has a payload.
As an alternative for the PTX device to auto retransmit it is possible to manually set the transceiver
to retransmit a packet a number of times. This is done using the REUSE_TX_PL command. When
the auto acknowledge function is enabled, the PRX device will automatically check the NO_ACK
field in the received packet, and if the NO_ACK bit is 0, it will automatically send an acknowledge
packet to the PTX device. If the EN_ACK_PAY bit is set, the acknowledge packet can also be
regarded as a pending payload in the TX FIFO.

RF Transceiver Data and Control Interface
TX/RX FIFO
The data FIFOs are used to store the payload that is to be transmitted in the TX FIFO or is received
in the RX FIFO and ready to be clocked out. The FIFO is accessible in both the PTX mode and
PRX modes. There is a three level 32 byte FIFO for both the TX and RX, supporting both the
acknowledge mode or no acknowledge mode with up to six data pipes.
• TX three levels, 32 bytes FIFO
• RX three levels, 32 bytes FIFO
Both the TX and RX FIFOs have a controller and are accessible through the SPI interface using
dedicated SPI commands. A TX FIFO in PRX can store the payload for ACK packets for three
different PTX devices. If the TX FIFO contains more than one payload for a pipe, the different
payloads are handled using the first-in first-out principle. The TX FIFO in a PRX device is blocked
if all pending payloads are addressed to pipes where the link to the PTX device is lost. In this case,
the MCU can flush the TX FIFO using the FLUSH_TX command.
The RX FIFO in the PRX device may contain a payload from up to three different PTX devices. A
TX FIFO in the PTX devices can have up to three payloads stored. The TX FIFO can be written to
by three commands, W_TX_PAYLOAD and W_TX_PAYLOAD_NO_ACK in the PTX mode and
W_ACK_PAYLOAD in the PRX mode. All three commands give access to the TX_PLD register.
The RX FIFO can be read by the command R_RX_PAYLOAD in both PTX and PRX modes. This
command gives access to the RX_PLD register. The payload in the TX FIFO in a PTX device is
NOT removed if the MAX_RT IRQ is asserted.
In the FIFO_STATUS register it is possible to know whether the TX and RX FIFO are full or empty.
The TX_REUSE bit is also available in the FIFO_STATUS register. The TX_REUSE bit is set
by the SPI command, REUSE_TX_PL, and is reset by the SPI command, W_TX_PAYLOAD or
FLUSH TX.
Interrupt
In the RF transceiver circuitry there is an active low interrupt line, IRQ, which is activated when the
TX_DS IRQ, RX_DR IRQ or MAX_RT IRQ bit is set to high by the state machine in the STATUS
register. The IRQ line is externally connected to the MCU TM clock input pin, TCK2. The detailed
TM TCK configurations are described in the preceding section in this datasheet. The IRQ line is
reset when the MCU writes a ‘1’ into the IRQ source bit in the STATUS register. The IRQ mask
control bit in the CONFIG register is used to select which IRQ source is allowed to assert the IRQ
line. By setting one of the MASK bits high, the corresponding IRQ source will be disabled. By
default all IRQ sources are enabled. The 3-bit pipe information in the STATUS register is updated
when the IRQ line changes state from high to low. If the STATUS register is read during a high to
low transition of an IRQ line, the pipe information is not available.

SPI Interface
The SPI commands are shown in the following table. Every new command must be started by a high
to low transition on the CSN line. In parallel to the SPI command byte applied on the MOSI line, the
STATUS register bit, Sn, is serially shifted out on the MISO line. The RF Transceiver SPI interface
is externally connected to the MCU SPIA interface. The detailed MCU SPIA interface operations are
described in the corresponding SPIA interface section in this datasheet.
The RF transceiver serial shifting SPI commands are in the following format:
• Command byte: one byte command word from MSB to LSB
• Data read operation: The data byte is shifted out from the least significant byte to the most
significant byte and MSB first in each byte for all registers in all register banks.
• Data write operation: The data byte is shifted in from the most significant byte to the least
significant byte and MSB in each byte first for register 0 to register 8 in register bank 1. For
other registers in all banks the data byte is shifted in from the least significant byte to the most
significant byte.

data packet is received in the RX FIFO, this bit will be asserted.
Bit 5TX_DS: TX FIFO Data Sent Status
0: No data is transmitted from TX FIFO
1: New data has been transmitted from TX FIFO
This bit is set to 1 by hardware and cleared to 0 by writing a “1” into it. When a new
data packet is transmitted from the TX FIFO, this bit will be asserted. If the AUTO_
ACK function is enabled, this bit will be set to 1 after the ACK is received.
Bit 4MAX_RT: Maximum TX retransmission Status
0: TX re-transmission number does not reach to the maximum retransmission
number.
1: TX re-transmission number has reached to the maximum retransmission number.
This bit is set to 1 by hardware and cleared to 0 by writing a “1” into it. When the TX
re-transmission number has reached to the maximum retransmission number, this bit
will be asserted. If the MAX_RT bit is set to 1, it must be cleared to 0 by application
program to enable further data communication.
Bit 3~1RX_P_NO2~RX_P_NO0: Data pipe number in RX FIFO
000~101: Data pipe 0 ~ Data pipe 5.
110: Not used
111: RX FIFO empty
This field is used to indicate the data pipe number for the available payload in the RX
FIFO. When this field is “111”, it means that the RX FIFO is empty.
Bit 0TX_FULL: TX FIFO full flag
0: TX FIFO is not full
1: TX FIFO is full
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. When the TX FIFO is full, this bit will be
asserted. If this bit is 0, it means that the TX FIFO is not full yet and still has available
locations to be used.

This field is used to count the total lost data packets during the TX data transmission.
The PLOS_CNT value will be incremented by one each time a TX data packet is lost
and retransmitted. When the counter value is equal to “1111”, it will stop counting and
remain the maximum value of 1111 instead of counter overflow until a reset condition
occurs. This counter will be reset by a write operation to the RF_CH register.

Instruction Set
Introduction
Central to the successful operation of any microcontroller is its instruction set, which is a set of
program instruction codes that directs the microcontroller to perform certain operations. In the case
of Holtek microcontroller, a comprehensive and flexible set of over 60 instructions is provided to
enable programmers to implement their application with the minimum of programming overheads.
For easier understanding of the various instruction codes, they have been subdivided into several
functional groupings.
Instruction Timing
Most instructions are implemented within one instruction cycle. The exceptions to this are branch,
call, or table read instructions where two instruction cycles are required. One instruction cycle is
equal to 4 system clock cycles, therefore in the case of an 8MHz system oscillator, most instructions
would be implemented within 0.5μs and branch or call instructions would be implemented within
1μs. Although instructions which require one more cycle to implement are generally limited to
the JMP, CALL, RET, RETI and table read instructions, it is important to realize that any other
instructions which involve manipulation of the Program Counter Low register or PCL will also take
one more cycle to implement. As instructions which change the contents of the PCL will imply a
direct jump to that new address, one more cycle will be required. Examples of such instructions
would be “CLR PCL” or “MOV PCL, A”. For the case of skip instructions, it must be noted that if
the result of the comparison involves a skip operation then this will also take one more cycle, if no
skip is involved then only one cycle is required.
Moving and Transferring Data
The transfer of data within the microcontroller program is one of the most frequently used
operations. Making use of several kinds of MOV instructions, data can be transferred from registers
to the Accumulator and vice-versa as well as being able to move specific immediate data directly
into the Accumulator. One of the most important data transfer applications is to receive data from
the input ports and transfer data to the output ports.
Arithmetic Operations
The ability to perform certain arithmetic operations and data manipulation is a necessary feature of
most microcontroller applications. Within the Holtek microcontroller instruction set are a range of
add and subtract instruction mnemonics to enable the necessary arithmetic to be carried out. Care
must be taken to ensure correct handling of carry and borrow data when results exceed 255 for
addition and less than 0 for subtraction. The increment and decrement instructions such as INC,
INCA, DEC and DECA provide a simple means of increasing or decreasing by a value of one of the
values in the destination specified.

Logical and Rotate Operation
The standard logical operations such as AND, OR, XOR and CPL all have their own instruction
within the Holtek microcontroller instruction set. As with the case of most instructions involving
data manipulation, data must pass through the Accumulator which may involve additional
programming steps. In all logical data operations, the zero flag may be set if the result of the
operation is zero. Another form of logical data manipulation comes from the rotate instructions such
as RR, RL, RRC and RLC which provide a simple means of rotating one bit right or left. Different
rotate instructions exist depending on program requirements. Rotate instructions are useful for serial
port programming applications where data can be rotated from an internal register into the Carry
bit from where it can be examined and the necessary serial bit set high or low. Another application
which rotate data operations are used is to implement multiplication and division calculations.
Branches and Control Transfer
Program branching takes the form of either jumps to specified locations using the JMP instruction
or to a subroutine using the CALL instruction. They differ in the sense that in the case of a
subroutine call, the program must return to the instruction immediately when the subroutine has
been carried out. This is done by placing a return instruction “RET” in the subroutine which will
cause the program to jump back to the address right after the CALL instruction. In the case of a JMP
instruction, the program simply jumps to the desired location. There is no requirement to jump back
to the original jumping off point as in the case of the CALL instruction. One special and extremely
useful set of branch instructions are the conditional branches. Here a decision is first made regarding
the condition of a certain data memory or individual bits. Depending upon the conditions, the
program will continue with the next instruction or skip over it and jump to the following instruction.
These instructions are the key to decision making and branching within the program perhaps
determined by the condition of certain input switches or by the condition of internal data bits.
Bit Operations
The ability to provide single bit operations on Data Memory is an extremely flexible feature of all
Holtek microcontrollers. This feature is especially useful for output port bit programming where
individual bits or port pins can be directly set high or low using either the “SET [m].i” or “CLR [m].i”
instructions respectively. The feature removes the need for programmers to first read the 8-bit output
port, manipulate the input data to ensure that other bits are not changed and then output the port with
the correct new data. This read-modify-write process is taken care of automatically when these bit
operation instructions are used.
Table Read Operations
Data storage is normally implemented by using registers. However, when working with large
amounts of fixed data, the volume involved often makes it inconvenient to store the fixed data in
the Data Memory. To overcome this problem, Holtek microcontrollers allow an area of Program
Memory to be setup as a table where data can be directly stored. A set of easy to use instructions
provides the means by which this fixed data can be referenced and retrieved from the Program
Memory.
Other Operations
In addition to the above functional instructions, a range of other instructions also exist such as
the “HALT” instruction for Power-down operations and instructions to control the operation of
the Watchdog Timer for reliable program operations under extreme electric or electromagnetic
environments. For their relevant operations, refer to the functional related sections.

Convert the contents of the Accumulator value to a BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) value
resulting from the previous addition of two BCD variables. If the low nibble is greater than 9
or if AC flag is set, then a value of 6 will be added to the low nibble. Otherwise the low nibble
remains unchanged. If the high nibble is greater than 9 or if the C flag is set, then a value of 6
will be added to the high nibble. Essentially, the decimal conversion is performed by adding
00H, 06H, 60H or 66H depending on the Accumulator and flag conditions. Only the C flag
may be affected by this instruction which indicates that if the original BCD sum is greater than
100, it allows multiple precision decimal addition.
