System Overview
1.2 Power
All internal circuitry draws power from the VDD supply pin. External I/O pins are powered from the VIO supply voltage (or VDD on devices without a separate VIO connection), while most of the internal circuitry is supplied by an on-chip LDO regulator. Control over the
device power can be achieved by enabling/disabling individual peripherals as needed. Each analog peripheral can be disabled when
not in use and placed in low power mode. Digital peripherals, such as timers and serial buses, have their clocks gated off and draw little
power when they are not in use.

System Overview
1.4 Clocking
The CPU core and peripheral subsystem may be clocked by both internal and external oscillator resources. By default, the system
clock comes up running from the 24.5 MHz oscillator divided by 8.
The clock control system offers the following features:
• Provides clock to core and peripherals.
• 24.5 MHz internal oscillator (HFOSC0), accurate to ±2% over supply and temperature corners.
• 49 MHz internal oscillator (HFOSC1), accurate to ±2% over supply and temperature corners.
• 80 kHz low-frequency oscillator (LFOSC0).
• External Crystal / RC / C Oscillator.
• External CMOS clock input (EXTCLK).
• Clock divider with eight settings for flexible clock scaling:
• Divide the selected clock source by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128.
• HFOSC0 and HFOSC1 include 1.5x pre-scalers for further flexibility.
1.5 Counters/Timers and PWM
Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)
The programmable counter array (PCA) provides multiple channels of enhanced timer and PWM functionality while requiring less CPU
intervention than standard counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer and one 16-bit capture/compare module for each channel. The counter/timer is driven by a programmable timebase that has flexible external and internal clocking options.
Each capture/compare module may be configured to operate independently in one of five modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software
Timer, High-Speed Output, Frequency Output, or Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) Output. Each capture/compare module has its own
associated I/O line (CEXn) which is routed through the crossbar to port I/O when enabled.

System Overview
Timers (Timer 0, Timer 1, Timer 2, Timer 3, Timer 4, and Timer 5)
Several counter/timers are included in the device: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found in the standard 8051, and
the rest are 16-bit auto-reload timers for timing peripherals or for general purpose use. These timers can be used to measure time intervals, count external events and generate periodic interrupt requests. Timer 0 and Timer 1 are nearly identical and have four primary
modes of operation. The other timers offer both 16-bit and split 8-bit timer functionality with auto-reload and capture capabilities.
Timer 0 and Timer 1 include the following features:
• Standard 8051 timers, supporting backwards-compatibility with firmware and hardware.
• Clock sources include SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, 4, or 48, the External Clock divided by 8, or an external pin.

• External pin capture
• LFOSC0 capture
• Comparator 0 capture
• Configurable Logic output capture
Watchdog Timer (WDT0)
The device includes a programmable watchdog timer (WDT) running off the low-frequency oscillator. A WDT overflow forces the MCU
into the reset state. To prevent the reset, the WDT must be restarted by application software before overflow. If the system experiences
a software or hardware malfunction preventing the software from restarting the WDT, the WDT overflows and causes a reset. Following
a reset, the WDT is automatically enabled and running with the default maximum time interval. If needed, the WDT can be disabled by
system software or locked on to prevent accidental disabling. Once locked, the WDT cannot be disabled until the next system reset.
The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
The Watchdog Timer has the following features:
• Programmable timeout interval
• Runs from the low-frequency oscillator
• Lock-out feature to prevent any modification until a system reset
1.6 Communications and Other Digital Peripherals

System Overview
Low Current Comparators (CMP0, CMP1)
An analog comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is higher.
External input connections to device I/O pins and internal connections are available through separate multiplexers on the positive and
negative inputs. Hysteresis, response time, and current consumption may be programmed to suit the specific needs of the application.
The comparator includes the following features:
• Up to 10 (CMP0) or 9 (CMP1) external positive inputs
• Up to 10 (CMP0) or 9 (CMP1) external negative inputs
• Additional input options:
• Internal connection to LDO output
• Direct connection to GND
• Direct connection to VDD
• Dedicated 6-bit reference DAC
• Synchronous and asynchronous outputs can be routed to pins via crossbar
• Programmable hysteresis between 0 and ±20 mV
• Programmable response time
• Interrupts generated on rising, falling, or both edges
• PWM output kill feature
1.8 Reset Sources
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this reset state, the following occur:
• The core halts program execution.
• Module registers are initialized to their defined reset values unless the bits reset only with a power-on reset.
• External port pins are forced to a known state.
• Interrupts and timers are disabled.
All registers are reset to the predefined values noted in the register descriptions unless the bits only reset with a power-on reset. The
contents of RAM are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved as long as power is not lost. By default, the Port
I/O latches are reset to 1 in open-drain mode, with weak pullups enabled during and after the reset. Optionally, firmware may configure
the port I/O, DAC outputs, and precision reference to maintain state through system resets other than power-on resets. For Supply
Monitor and power-on resets, the RSTb pin is driven low until the device exits the reset state. On exit from the reset state, the program
counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to an internal oscillator. The Watchdog Timer is enabled, and program execution
begins at location 0x0000.
Reset sources on the device include the following:
• Power-on reset
• External reset pin
• Comparator reset
• Software-triggered reset
• Supply monitor reset (monitors VDD supply)
• Watchdog timer reset
• Missing clock detector reset
• Flash error reset
1.9 Debugging
The EFM8BB3 devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow flash programming and in-system debugging with the production part installed in the end application. The C2 interface uses a clock signal (C2CK) and a bi-directional C2 data
signal (C2D) to transfer information between the device and a host system. See the C2 Interface Specification for details on the C2
protocol.

System Overview
1.10 Bootloader
All devices come pre-programmed with a UART0 bootloader. This bootloader resides in the code security page, which is the last page
of code flash; it can be erased if it is not needed.
The byte before the Lock Byte is the Bootloader Signature Byte. Setting this byte to a value of 0xA5 indicates the presence of the bootloader in the system. Any other value in this location indicates that the bootloader is not present in flash.
When a bootloader is present, the device will jump to the bootloader vector after any reset, allowing the bootloader to run. The bootloader then determines if the device should stay in bootload mode or jump to the reset vector located at 0x0000. When the bootloader
is not present, the device will jump to the reset vector of 0x0000 after any reset.

Memory Organization
2. Memory Organization
2.1 Memory Organization
The memory organization of the CIP-51 System Controller is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are two separate memory
spaces: program memory and data memory. Program and data memory share the same address space but are accessed via different
instruction types. Program memory consists of a non-volatile storage area that may be used for either program code or non-volatile
data storage. The data memory, consisting of "internal" and "external" data space, is implemented as RAM, and may be used only for
data storage. Program execution is not supported from the data memory space.
2.2 Program Memory
The CIP-51 core has a 64 KB program memory space. The product family implements some of this program memory space as in-system, re-programmable flash memory. Flash security is implemented by a user-programmable location in the flash block and provides
read, write, and erase protection. All addresses not specified in the device memory map are reserved and may not be used for code or
data storage.
MOVX Instruction and Program Memory
The MOVX instruction in an 8051 device is typically used to access external data memory. On the devices, the MOVX instruction is
normally used to read and write on-chip XRAM, but can be re-configured to write and erase on-chip flash memory space. MOVC instructions are always used to read flash memory, while MOVX write instructions are used to erase and write flash. This flash access
feature provides a mechanism for the product to update program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage.
2.3 Data Memory
The RAM space on the chip includes both an "internal" RAM area which is accessed with MOV instructions, and an on-chip "external"
RAM area which is accessed using MOVX instructions. Total RAM varies, based on the specific device. The device memory map has
more details about the specific amount of RAM available in each area for the different device variants.
Internal RAM
There are 256 bytes of internal RAM mapped into the data memory space from 0x00 through 0xFF. The lower 128 bytes of data memory are used for general purpose registers and scratch pad memory. Either direct or indirect addressing may be used to access the lower
128 bytes of data memory. Locations 0x00 through 0x1F are addressable as four banks of general purpose registers, each bank consisting of eight byte-wide registers. The next 16 bytes, locations 0x20 through 0x2F, may either be addressed as bytes or as 128 bit
locations accessible with the direct addressing mode.
The upper 128 bytes of data memory are accessible only by indirect addressing. This region occupies the same address space as the
Special Function Registers (SFR) but is physically separate from the SFR space. The addressing mode used by an instruction when
accessing locations above 0x7F determines whether the CPU accesses the upper 128 bytes of data memory space or the SFRs. Instructions that use direct addressing will access the SFR space. Instructions using indirect addressing above 0x7F access the upper
128 bytes of data memory.
General Purpose Registers
The lower 32 bytes of data memory, locations 0x00 through 0x1F, may be addressed as four banks of general-purpose registers. Each
bank consists of eight byte-wide registers designated R0 through R7. Only one of these banks may be enabled at a time. Two bits in
the program status word (PSW) register, RS0 and RS1, select the active register bank. This allows fast context switching when entering
subroutines and interrupt service routines. Indirect addressing modes use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.

Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 10
EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Memory Organization
Bit Addressable Locations
In addition to direct access to data memory organized as bytes, the sixteen data memory locations at 0x20 through 0x2F are also accessible as 128 individually addressable bits. Each bit has a bit address from 0x00 to 0x7F. Bit 0 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address
0x00 while bit 7 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x07. Bit 7 of the byte at 0x2F has bit address 0x7F. A bit access is distinguished
from a full byte access by the type of instruction used (bit source or destination operands as opposed to a byte source or destination).
The MCS-51™ assembly language allows an alternate notation for bit addressing of the form XX.B where XX is the byte address and B
is the bit position within the byte. For example, the instruction:
Mov
C, 22.3h
moves the Boolean value at 0x13 (bit 3 of the byte at location 0x22) into the Carry flag.
Stack
A programmer's stack can be located anywhere in the 256-byte data memory. The stack area is designated using the Stack Pointer
(SP) SFR. The SP will point to the last location used. The next value pushed on the stack is placed at SP+1 and then SP is incremented. A reset initializes the stack pointer to location 0x07. Therefore, the first value pushed on the stack is placed at location 0x08, which
is also the first register (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if more than one register bank is to be used, the SP should be initialized to a
location in the data memory not being used for data storage. The stack depth can extend up to 256 bytes.
External RAM
On devices with more than 256 bytes of on-chip RAM, the additional RAM is mapped into the external data memory space (XRAM).
Addresses in XRAM area accessed using the external move (MOVX) instructions.
Note: The 16-bit MOVX write instruction is also used for writing and erasing the flash memory. More details may be found in the flash
memory section.

Description
XRAM Page Select.
The XRAM Page Select field provides the high byte of the 16-bit data memory address when using 8-bit MOVX commands,
effectively selecting a 256-byte page of RAM. Since the upper (unused) bits of the register are always zero, the PGSEL
field determines which page of XRAM is accessed.
For example, if PGSEL = 0x01, addresses 0x0100 to 0x01FF will be accessed by 8-bit MOVX instructions.

Special Function Registers
3. Special Function Registers
3.1 Special Function Register Access
The direct-access data memory locations from 0x80 to 0xFF constitute the special function registers (SFRs). The SFRs provide control
and data exchange with the CIP-51's resources and peripherals. The CIP-51 duplicates the SFRs found in a typical 8051 implementation as well as implementing additional SFRs used to configure and access the sub-systems unique to the MCU. This allows the addition of new functionality while retaining compatibility with the MCS-51 ™ instruction set.
The SFR registers are accessed anytime the direct addressing mode is used to access memory locations from 0x80 to 0xFF. SFRs
with addresses ending in 0x0 or 0x8 (e.g., P0, TCON, SCON0, IE, etc.) are bit-addressable as well as byte-addressable. All other SFRs
are byte-addressable only. Unoccupied addresses in the SFR space are reserved for future use. Accessing these areas will have an
indeterminate effect and should be avoided.
SFR Paging
The CIP-51 features SFR paging, allowing the device to map many SFRs into the 0x80 to 0xFF memory address space. The SFR
memory space has 256 pages. In this way, each memory location from 0x80 to 0xFF can access up to 256 SFRs. The EFM8BB3
devices utilize multiple SFR pages. All of the common 8051 SFRs are available on all pages. Certain SFRs are only available on a
subset of pages. SFR pages are selected using the SFRPAGE register. The procedure for reading and writing an SFR is as follows:
1. Select the appropriate SFR page using the SFRPAGE register.
2. Use direct accessing mode to read or write the special function register (MOV instruction).
The SFRPAGE register only needs to be changed in the case that the SFR to be accessed does not exist on the currently-selected
page. See the SFR memory map for details on the locations of each SFR.

Special Function Registers
Interrupts and the SFR Page Stack
When an interrupt occurs, the current SFRPAGE is pushed onto an SFR page stack to preserve the current context of SFRPAGE.
Upon execution of the RETI instruction, the SFRPAGE register is automatically restored to the SFR page that was in use prior to the
interrupt. The stack is five elements deep to accomodate interrupts of different priority levels pre-empting lower priority interrupts. Firmware can read any element of the SFR page stack by setting the SFRPGIDX field in the SFRPGCN register and reading the
SFRSTACK register.
Table 3.1. SFR Page Stack Access

Value of the first/top byte of the stack
1

2
Value of the third byte of the stack
3

4
Value of the fifth/bottom byte of the stack
Notes:
1. The top of the stack is the current SFRPAGE setting, and can also be directly accessed via the SFRPAGE register.

When an interrupt occurs, hardware performs the following operations:
1. The value (if any) in the SFRPGIDX = 011b location is pushed to the SFRPAGE = 100b location.
2. The value (if any) in the SFRPGIDX = 010b location is pushed to the SFRPAGE = 011b location.
3. The value (if any) in the SFRPGIDX = 001b location is pushed to the SFRPAGE = 010b location.
4. The current SFRPAGE value is pushed to the SFRPGIDX = 001b location in the stack.
5. SFRPAGE is set to the page associated with the flag that generated the interrupt.
On a return from interrupt, hardware performs the following operations:
1. The SFR page stack is popped to the SFRPAGE register. This restores the SFR page context prior to the interrupt, without software intervention.
2. The value in the SFRPGIDX = 010b location of the stack is placed in the SFRPGIDX = 001b location.
3. The value in the SFRPGIDX = 011b location of the stack is placed in the SFRPGIDX = 010b location.
4. The value in the SFRPGIDX = 100b location of the stack is placed in the SFRPGIDX = 011b location.
Automatic hardware switching of the SFR page upon interrupt entries and exits may be enabled or disabled using the SFRPGEN located in SFRPGCN. Automatic SFR page switching is enabled after any reset.

4.3 Functional Description
4.3.1 Security Options
The CIP-51 provides security options to protect the flash memory from inadvertent modification by software as well as to prevent the
viewing of proprietary program code and constants. The Program Store Write Enable (bit PSWE in register PSCTL) and the Program
Store Erase Enable (bit PSEE in register PSCTL) bits protect the flash memory from accidental modification by software. PSWE must
be explicitly set to 1 before software can modify the flash memory; both PSWE and PSEE must be set to 1 before software can erase
flash memory. Additional security features prevent proprietary program code and data constants from being read or altered across the
C2 interface.
A Security Lock Byte located in flash user space offers protection of the flash program memory from access (reads, writes, or erases)
by unprotected code or the C2 interface. See the specific device memory map for the location of the security byte. The flash security
mechanism allows the user to lock "n" flash pages, starting at page 0, where "n" is the 1s complement number represented by the
Security Lock Byte. Some devices may also include a read-only area in the flash memory space for constants such as UID and calibration values.
Note: The page containing the flash Security Lock Byte is unlocked when no other flash pages are locked (all bits of the Lock Byte are
1) and locked when any other flash pages are locked (any bit of the Lock Byte is 0).

The level of flash security depends on the flash access method. The three flash access methods that can be restricted are reads,
writes, and erases from the C2 debug interface, user firmware executing on unlocked pages, and user firmware executing on locked
pages.

4.3.2 Programming the Flash Memory
Writes to flash memory clear bits from logic 1 to logic 0 and can be performed on single byte locations. Flash erasures set bits back to
logic 1 and occur only on full pages. The write and erase operations are automatically timed by hardware for proper execution; data
polling to determine the end of the write/erase operation is not required. Code execution is stalled during a flash write/erase operation.
The simplest means of programming the flash memory is through the C2 interface using programming tools provided by Silicon Labs or
a third party vendor. Firmware may also be loaded into the device to implement code-loader functions or allow non-volatile data storage. To ensure the integrity of flash contents, it is strongly recommended that the on-chip supply monitor be enabled in any system that
includes code that writes and/or erases flash memory from software.
4.3.2.1 Flash Lock and Key Functions
Flash writes and erases by user software are protected with a lock and key function. The FLKEY register must be written with the correct key codes, in sequence, before flash operations may be performed. The key codes are 0xA5 and 0xF1. The timing does not matter, but the codes must be written in order. If the key codes are written out of order or the wrong codes are written, flash writes and
erases will be disabled until the next system reset. Flash writes and erases will also be disabled if a flash write or erase is attempted
before the key codes have been written properly. The flash lock resets after each write or erase; the key codes must be written again
before another flash write or erase operation can be performed.
4.3.2.2 Flash Page Erase Procedure
The flash memory is erased one page at a time by firmware using the MOVX write instruction with the address targeted to any byte
within the page. Before erasing a page of flash memory, flash write and erase operations must be enabled by setting the PSWE and
PSEE bits in the PSCTL register to logic 1 (this directs the MOVX writes to target flash memory and enables page erasure) and writing
the flash key codes in sequence to the FLKEY register. The PSWE and PSEE bits remain set until cleared by firmware.
Erase operation applies to an entire page (setting all bytes in the page to 0xFF). To erase an entire page, perform the following steps:
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).
2. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.
3. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.
4. Set the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).
5. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).
6. Using the MOVX instruction, write a data byte to any location within the page to be erased.
7. Clear the PSWE and PSEE bits.
4.3.2.3 Flash Byte Write Procedure
The flash memory is written by firmware using the MOVX write instruction with the address and data byte to be programmed provided
as normal operands in DPTR and A. Before writing to flash memory using MOVX, flash write operations must be enabled by setting the
PSWE bit in the PSCTL register to logic 1 (this directs the MOVX writes to target flash memory) and writing the flash key codes in
sequence to the FLKEY register. The PSWE bit remains set until cleared by firmware. A write to flash memory can clear bits to logic 0
but cannot set them. A byte location to be programmed should be erased (already set to 0xFF) before a new value is written.
To write a byte of flash, perform the following steps:
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).
2. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly.
Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 31

Flash Memory
3. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.
4. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).
5. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).
6. Using the MOVX instruction, write a single data byte to the desired location within the desired page.
7. Clear the PSWE bit.
4.3.3 Flash Write and Erase Precautions
Any system which contains routines which write or erase flash memory from software involves some risk that the write or erase routines
will execute unintentionally if the CPU is operating outside its specified operating range of supply voltage, system clock frequency or
temperature. This accidental execution of flash modifying code can result in alteration of flash memory contents causing a system failure that is only recoverable by re-flashing the code in the device.
To help prevent the accidental modification of flash by firmware, hardware restricts flash writes and erasures when the supply monitor is
not active and selected as a reset source. As the monitor is enabled and selected as a reset source by default, it is recommended that
systems writing or erasing flash simply maintain the default state.
The following sections provide general guidelines for any system which contains routines which write or erase flash from code. Additional flash recommendations and example code can be found in AN201: Writing to Flash From Firmware, available from the Silicon
Laboratories website.
Voltage Supply Maintenance and the Supply Monitor
• If the system power supply is subject to voltage or current "spikes," add sufficient transient protection devices to the power supply to
ensure that the supply voltages listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table are not exceeded.
• Make certain that the minimum supply rise time specification is met. If the system cannot meet this rise time specification, then add
an external supply brownout circuit to the RSTb pin of the device that holds the device in reset until the voltage supply reaches the
lower limit, and re-asserts RSTb if the supply drops below the low supply limit.
• Do not disable the supply monitor. If the supply monitor must be disabled in the system, firmware should be added to the startup
routine to enable the on-chip supply monitor and enable the supply monitor as a reset source as early in code as possible. This
should be the first set of instructions executed after the reset vector. For C-based systems, this may involve modifying the startup
code added by the C compiler. See your compiler documentation for more details. Make certain that there are no delays in software
between enabling the supply monitor and enabling the supply monitor as a reset source.
Note: The supply monitor must be enabled and enabled as a reset source when writing or erasing flash memory. A flash error reset
will occur if either condition is not met.
• As an added precaution if the supply monitor is ever disabled, explicitly enable the supply monitor and enable the supply monitor as
a reset source inside the functions that write and erase flash memory. The supply monitor enable instructions should be placed just
after the instruction to set PSWE to a 1, but before the flash write or erase operation instruction.
• Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC (Reset Sources) register use direct assignment operators and explicitly do not use the
bit-wise operators (such as AND or OR). For example, "RSTSRC = 0x02" is correct. "RSTSRC |= 0x02" is incorrect.
• Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC register explicitly set the PORSF bit to a 1. Areas to check are initialization code which
enables other reset sources, such as the Missing Clock Detector or Comparator, for example, and instructions which force a Software Reset. A global search on "RSTSRC" can quickly verify this.
PSWE Maintenance
• Reduce the number of places in code where the PSWE bit (in register PSCTL) is set to a 1. There should be exactly one routine in
code that sets PSWE to a 1 to write flash bytes and one routine in code that sets PSWE and PSEE both to a 1 to erase flash pages.
• Minimize the number of variable accesses while PSWE is set to a 1. Handle pointer address updates and loop variable maintenance
outside the "PSWE = 1;... PSWE = 0;" area.
• Disable interrupts prior to setting PSWE to a 1 and leave them disabled until after PSWE has been reset to 0. Any interrupts posted
during the flash write or erase operation will be serviced in priority order after the flash operation has been completed and interrupts
have been re-enabled by software.
• Make certain that the flash write and erase pointer variables are not located in XRAM. See your compiler documentation for instructions regarding how to explicitly locate variables in different memory areas.
• Add address bounds checking to the routines that write or erase flash memory to ensure that a routine called with an illegal address
does not result in modification of the flash.

Flash Memory
System Clock
• If operating from an external crystal-based source, be advised that crystal performance is susceptible to electrical interference and is
sensitive to layout and to changes in temperature. If the system is operating in an electrically noisy environment, use the internal
oscillator or use an external CMOS clock.
• If operating from the external oscillator, switch to the internal oscillator during flash write or erase operations. The external oscillator
can continue to run, and the CPU can switch back to the external oscillator after the flash operation has completed.

Flash Lock and Key.
Write:
This register provides a lock and key function for flash erasures and writes. Flash writes and erases are enabled by writing
0xA5 followed by 0xF1 to the FLKEY register. Flash writes and erases are automatically disabled after the next write or
erase is complete. If any writes to FLKEY are performed incorrectly, or if a flash write or erase operation is attempted while
these operations are disabled, the flash will be permanently locked from writes or erasures until the next device reset. If an
application never writes to flash, it can intentionally lock the flash by writing a non-0xA5 value to FLKEY from firmware.
Read:
When read, bits 1-0 indicate the current flash lock state.
00: Flash is write/erase locked.
01: The first key code has been written (0xA5).
10: Flash is unlocked (writes/erases allowed).
11: Flash writes/erases are disabled until the next reset.

5. Device Identification
5.1 Device Identification
The SFR map includes registers that may be used to identify the device family (DEVICEID), derivative (DERIVID), and revision (REVID). These SFRs can be read by firmware at runtime to determine the capabilities of the MCU that is executing code. This allows the
same firmware image to run on MCUs with different memory sizes and peripherals, and dynamically change functionality to suit the
capabilities of that MCU.
5.2 Unique Identifier
A128-bit universally unique identifier (UUID) is pre-programmed into all devices. The value assigned to a device is random and not
sequential, but it is guaranteed unique. The UUID resides in the read-only area of flash memory which cannot be erased or written in
the end application. The UUID can be read by firmware or through the debug interface at flash locations 0xFFC0-0xFFCF.

Interrupts
6. Interrupts
6.1 Introduction
The MCU core includes an extended interrupt system supporting multiple interrupt sources and priority levels. The allocation of interrupt
sources between on-chip peripherals and external input pins varies according to the specific version of the device.
Interrupt sources may have one or more associated interrupt-pending flag(s) located in an SFR local to the associated peripheral.
When a peripheral or external source meets a valid interrupt condition, the associated interrupt-pending flag is set to logic 1.
If interrupts are enabled for the source, an interrupt request is generated when the interrupt-pending flag is set. As soon as execution of
the current instruction is complete, the CPU generates an LCALL to a predetermined address to begin execution of an interrupt service
routine (ISR). Each ISR must end with an RETI instruction, which returns program execution to the next instruction that would have
been executed if the interrupt request had not occurred. If interrupts are not enabled, the interrupt-pending flag is ignored by the hardware and program execution continues as normal. The interrupt-pending flag is set to logic 1 regardless of whether the interrupt is enabled.
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled through the use of an associated interrupt enable bit in the IE and EIEn
registers. However, interrupts must first be globally enabled by setting the EA bit to logic 1 before the individual interrupt enables are
recognized. Setting the EA bit to logic 0 disables all interrupt sources regardless of the individual interrupt-enable settings.
Some interrupt-pending flags are automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR or by other hardware conditions. However, most are not cleared by the hardware and must be cleared by software before returning from the ISR. If an interruptpending flag remains set after the CPU completes the return-from-interrupt (RETI) instruction, a new interrupt request will be generated
immediately and the CPU will re-enter the ISR after the completion of the next instruction.
6.2 Interrupt Sources and Vectors
The CIP51 core supports interrupt sources for each peripheral on the device. Software can simulate an interrupt for many peripherals
by setting any interrupt-pending flag to logic 1. If interrupts are enabled for the flag, an interrupt request will be generated and the CPU
will vector to the ISR address associated with the interrupt-pending flag. Refer to the data sheet section associated with a particular onchip peripheral for information regarding valid interrupt conditions for the peripheral and the behavior of its interrupt-pending flag(s).
6.2.1 Interrupt Priorities
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of four priority levels. This differs from the traditional two priority levels on
the 8051 core. However, the implementation of the extra levels is backwards- compatible with legacy 8051 code.
An interrupt service routine can be preempted by any interrupt of higher priority. Interrupts at the highest priority level cannot be preempted. Each interrupt has two associated priority bits which are used to configure the priority level. For backwards compatibility, the
bits are spread across two different registers. The LSBs of the priority setting are located in the IP and EIPn registers, while the MSBs
are located in the IPH and EIPnH registers. Priority levels according to the MSB and LSB are decoded in Table 6.1 Configurable Interrupt Priority Decoding on page 38. The lowest priority setting is the default for all interrupts. If two or more interrupts are recognized
simultaneously, the interrupt with the highest priority is serviced first. If both interrupts have the same priority level, a fixed order is used
to arbitrate, based on the interrupt source's location in the interrupt vector table. Interrupts with a lower number in the vector table have
priority. If legacy 8051 operation is desired, the bits of the “high” priority registers (IPH and EIPnH) should all be configured to 0.

Interrupts
6.2.2 Interrupt Latency
Interrupt response time depends on the state of the CPU when the interrupt occurs. Pending interrupts are sampled and priority decoded on every system clock cycle. Therefore, the fastest possible response time is 5 system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the
interrupt and 4 clock cycles to complete the LCALL to the ISR. If an interrupt is pending when a RETI is executed, a single instruction is
executed before an LCALL is made to service the pending interrupt. Therefore, the maximum response time for an interrupt (when no
other interrupt is currently being serviced or the new interrupt is of greater priority) occurs when the CPU is performing an RETI instruction followed by a DIV as the next instruction. In this case, the response time is 18 system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the
interrupt, 5 clock cycles to execute the RETI, 8 clock cycles to complete the DIV instruction and 4 clock cycles to execute the LCALL to
the ISR. If the CPU is executing an ISR for an interrupt with equal or higher priority, the new interrupt will not be serviced until the
current ISR completes, including the RETI and following instruction. If more than one interrupt is pending when the CPU exits an ISR,
the CPU will service the next highest priority interrupt that is pending.

Power Management and Internal Regulator
7. Power Management and Internal Regulator
7.1 Introduction
All internal circuitry draws power from the VDD supply pin. External I/O pins are powered from the VIO supply voltage (or VDD on devices without a separate VIO connection), while most of the internal circuitry is supplied by an on-chip LDO regulator. Control over the
device power can be achieved by enabling/disabling individual peripherals as needed. Each analog peripheral can be disabled when
not in use and placed in low power mode. Digital peripherals, such as timers and serial buses, have their clocks gated off and draw little
power when they are not in use.

7.2 Features
The power management features of these devices include the following:
• Supports five power modes:
1. Normal mode: Core and all peripherals fully operational.
2. Idle mode: Core halted, peripherals fully operational, core waiting for interrupt to continue.
3. Suspend mode: High-frequency internal clocks halted, select peripherals active, waiting for wake signal to continue.
4. Snooze mode: High-frequency internal clocks halted, select peripherals active, regulators in low-power mode, waiting for wake
signal to continue.
5. Shutdown mode: All clocks stopped and internal LDO shut off, device waiting for POR or pin reset.
Note: Legacy 8051 Stop mode is also supported, but Suspend and Snooze offer more functionality with better power consumption.
• Internal Core LDO:
• Supplies power to majority of blocks.
• Low power consumption in Snooze mode, can be shut down completely in Shutdown mode.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Power Management and Internal Regulator
7.3 Idle Mode
In idle mode, CPU core execution is halted while any enabled peripherals and clocks remain active. Power consumption in idle mode is
dependent upon the system clock frequency and any active peripherals.
Setting the IDLE bit in the PCON0 register causes the hardware to halt the CPU and enter idle mode as soon as the instruction that
sets the bit completes execution. All internal registers and memory maintain their original data. All analog and digital peripherals can
remain active during idle mode.
Idle mode is terminated when an enabled interrupt is asserted or a reset occurs. The assertion of an enabled interrupt will cause the
IDLE bit to be cleared and the CPU to resume operation. The pending interrupt will be serviced and the next instruction to be executed
after the return from interrupt (RETI) will be the instruction immediately following the one that set the IDLE bit. If idle mode is terminated
by an internal or external reset, the CIP-51 performs a normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.
Note: If the instruction following the write of the IDLE bit is a single-byte instruction and an interrupt occurs during the execution phase
of the instruction that sets the IDLE bit, the CPU may not wake from idle mode when a future interrupt occurs. Therefore, instructions
that set the IDLE bit should be followed by an instruction that has two or more opcode bytes. For example:
// in ‘C’:
PCON0 |= 0x01; // set IDLE bit
PCON0 = PCON0; // ... followed by a 3-cycle dummy instruction
; in assembly:
ORL PCON0, #01h ; set IDLE bit
MOV PCON0, PCON0 ; ... followed by a 3-cycle dummy instruction
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer (WDT) will eventually cause an internal watchdog reset and thereby terminate the Idle mode. This feature protects the system from an unintended permanent shutdown in the event of an inadvertent write to the PCON0 register. If this
behavior is not desired, the WDT may be disabled by software prior to entering the idle mode if the WDT was initially configured to
allow this operation. This provides the opportunity for additional power savings, allowing the system to remain in the idle mode indefinitely, waiting for an external stimulus to wake up the system.
7.4 Suspend Mode
Suspend mode is entered by setting the SUSPEND bit while operating from the internal 24.5 MHz oscillator (HFOSC0). Upon entry into
suspend mode, the hardware halts the high-frequency internal oscillator and goes into a low power state as soon as the instruction that
sets the bit completes execution. All internal registers and memory maintain their original data.
Suspend mode is terminated by any enabled wake or reset source. When suspend mode is terminated, the device will continue execution on the instruction following the one that set the SUSPEND bit. If the wake event was configured to generate an interrupt, the interrupt will be serviced upon waking the device. If suspend mode is terminated by an internal or external reset, the CIP-51 performs a
normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.
7.5 Stop Mode
In stop mode, the CPU is halted and peripheral clocks are stopped. Analog peripherals remain in their selected states.
Setting the STOP bit in the PCON0 register causes the controller core to enter stop mode as soon as the instruction that sets the bit
completes execution. Before entering stop mode, the system clock must be sourced by HFOSC0. In stop mode, the CPU and internal
clocks are stopped. Analog peripherals may remain enabled, but will not be provided a clock. Each analog peripheral may be shut down
individually by firmware prior to entering stop mode. Stop mode can only be terminated by an internal or external reset. On reset, the
device performs the normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.
If enabled as a reset source, the missing clock detector will cause an internal reset and thereby terminate the stop mode. If this reset is
undesirable in the system, and the CPU is to be placed in stop mode for longer than the missing clock detector timeout, the missing
clock detector should be disabled in firmware prior to setting the STOP bit.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Power Management and Internal Regulator
7.6 Snooze Mode
Snooze mode is entered by setting the SNOOZE bit while operating from the internal 24.5 MHz oscillator (HFOSC0). Upon entry into
snooze mode, the hardware halts both of the high-frequency internal oscillators and goes into a low power state as soon as the instruction that sets the bit completes execution. The internal LDO is then placed into a low-current standby mode. All internal registers and
memory maintain their original data.
Snooze mode is terminated by any enabled wake or reset source. When snooze mode is terminated, the LDO is returned to normal
operating conditions and the device will continue execution on the instruction following the one that set the SNOOZE bit. If the wake
event was configured to generate an interrupt, the interrupt will be serviced upon waking the device. If snooze mode is terminated by an
internal or external reset, the CIP-51 performs a normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.
7.7 Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode, the CPU is halted and the internal LDO is powered down. External I/O will retain their configured states.
To enter Shutdown mode, firmware should set the STOPCF bit in the regulator control register to 1, and then set the STOP bit in
PCON0. In Shutdown, the RSTb pin and a full power cycle of the device are the only methods of generating a reset and waking the
device.
Note: In Shutdown mode, all internal device circuitry is powered down, and no RAM nor registers are retained. The debug circuitry will
not be able to connect to a device while it is in Shutdown. Coming out of Shutdown mode, whether by POR or pin reset, will appear as
a power-on reset of the device.
7.8 Determining Wake Events (Suspend and Snooze Mode)
Upon exit from Suspend or Snooze mode, the wake-up flags in the PSTAT0 register can be read to determine the event(s) which
caused the device to wake up. Wake-up flags in PSTAT0 should be cleared by firmware.

The CLKSEL register is used to select the clock source for the system (SYSCLK). The CLKSL field selects which oscillator source is
used as the system clock, while CLKDIV controls the programmable divider. When an internal oscillator source is selected as the
SYSCLK, the external oscillator may still clock certain peripherals. In these cases, the external oscillator source is synchronized to the
SYSCLK source. The system clock may be switched on-the-fly between any of the oscillator sources so long as the selected clock
source is enabled and has settled, and CLKDIV may be changed at any time.
Note: Some device families do place restrictions on the difference in operating frequency when switching clock sources. Please see the
CLKSEL register description for details.

8.3.2 HFOSC0 24.5 MHz Internal Oscillator
HFOSC0 is a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator that is factory-calibrated to 24.5 MHz. The oscillator is automatically enabled when it is requested. The oscillator period can be adjusted via the HFO0CAL register to obtain other frequencies.
Note: Changing the HFO0CAL register value from its default value may degrade the frequency stability of the oscillator across temperature and supply voltage.
8.3.3 HFOSC1 49 MHz Internal Oscillator
HFOSC1 is a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator that is factory-calibrated to 49 MHz. The oscillator is automatically enabled when it is requested. The oscillator period can be adjusted via the HFO1CAL register to obtain other frequencies.
Note: Changing the HFO1CAL register value from its default value may degrade the frequency stability of the oscillator across temperature and supply voltage.
Note: HFOSC0 consumes less current when enabled than HFOSC1.
8.3.4 LFOSC0 80 kHz Internal Oscillator
LFOSC0 is a progammable low-frequency oscillator, factory calibrated to a nominal frequency of 80 kHz. A dedicated divider at the
oscillator output is capable of dividing the output clock by 1, 2, 4, or 8, using the OSCLD bits in the LFO0CN register. The OSCLF bits
can be used to coarsely adjust the oscillator’s output frequency.
The LFOSC0 circuit requires very little start-up time and may be selected as the system clock immediately following the register write
which enables the oscillator.
Calibrating LFOSC0
On-chip calibration of the LFOSC0 can be performed using a timer to capture the oscillator period, when running from a known time
base. When a timer is configured for L-F Oscillator capture mode, a rising edge of the low-frequency oscillator’s output will cause a
capture event on the corresponding timer. As a capture event occurs, the current timer value is copied into the timer reload registers.
By recording the difference between two successive timer capture values, the low-frequency oscillator’s period can be calculated. The
OSCLF bits can then be adjusted to produce the desired oscillator frequency.

8.3.5 External Crystal
If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as the external oscillator, the crystal/resonator and a 10 MΩ resistor must be wired across the
XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. Appropriate loading capacitors should be added to XTAL1 and XTAL2, and both pins should be configured for
analog I/O with the digital output drivers disabled.
The capacitors shown in the external crystal configuration provide the load capacitance required by the crystal for correct oscillation.
These capacitors are “in series” as seen by the crystal and “in parallel” with the stray capacitance of the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins.
Note: The recommended load capacitance depends upon the crystal and the manufacturer. Refer to the crystal data sheet when completing these calculations.
The equation for determining the load capacitance for two capacitors is as follows:
CL =
CA × CB
CA + CB
+ CS
Figure 8.2. External Oscillator Load Capacitance
Where:
• CA and CB are the capacitors connected to the crystal leads.
• CS is the total stray capacitance of the PCB.
• The stray capacitance for a typical layout where the crystal is as close as possible to the pins is 2-5 pF per pin.
If CA and CB are the same (C), then the equation becomes the following:
CL =
C
+ CS
2
Figure 8.3. External Oscillator Load Capacitance with Equal Capacitors
For example, a tuning-fork crystal of 25 MHz has a recommended load capacitance of 12.5 pF. With a stray capacitance of 3 pF per pin
(6 pF total), the 13 pF capacitors yield an equivalent capacitance of 12.5 pF across the crystal.

Figure 8.4. 25 MHz External Crystal Example
Crystal oscillator circuits are quite sensitive to PCB layout. The crystal should be placed as close as possible to the XTAL pins on the
device. The traces should be as short as possible and shielded with ground plane from any other traces which could introduce noise or
interference. When using an external crystal, the external oscillator drive circuit must be configured by firmware for Crystal Oscillator
Mode or Crystal Oscillator Mode with divide by 2 stage. The divide by 2 stage ensures that the clock derived from the external oscillator
has a duty cycle of 50%. The External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) must also be specified based on the crystal frequency. For example, a 25 MHz crystal requires an XFCN setting of 111b.

When the crystal oscillator is first enabled, the external oscillator valid detector allows software to determine when the external system
clock has stabilized. Switching to the external oscillator before the crystal oscillator has stabilized can result in unpredictable behavior.
The recommended procedure for starting the crystal is as follows:
1. Configure XTAL1 and XTAL2 for analog I/O and disable the digital output drivers.
2. Disable the XTAL1 and XTAL2 digital output drivers by writing 1's to the appropriate bits in the port latch register.
3. Configure and enable the external oscillator.
4. Wait at least 1 ms
5. Poll for XCLKVLD set to 1.
6. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.

Figure 8.5. External RC Oscillator Configuration
The capacitor should be no greater than 100 pF; however, for very small capacitors, the total capacitance may be dominated by parasitic capacitance in the PCB layout. To determine the required XFCN field value, first select the RC network value to produce the desired
frequency of oscillation, according to , where f = the frequency of oscillation in MHz, C = the capacitor value in pF, and R = the pull-up
resistor value in kΩ.

When the RC oscillator is first enabled, the external oscillator valid detector allows firmware to determine when oscillation has stabilized. The recommended procedure for starting the RC oscillator is as follows:
1. Configure XTAL2 for analog I/O and disable the digital output drivers.
2. Configure and enable the external oscillator.
3. Poll for XCLKVLD = 1.
4. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.

8.3.7 External CMOS
An external CMOS clock source is also supported as a core clock source. The XTAL2/EXTCLK pin on the device serves as the external
clock input when running in this mode. When not selected as the SYSCLK source, the EXTCLK input is always re-synchronized to
SYSCLK. XTAL1 is not used in external CMOS clock mode.
Note: When selecting the EXTCLK pin as a clock input source, the pin should be skipped in the crossbar and configured as a digital
input. Firmware should ensure that the external clock source is present or enable the missing clock detector before switching the
CLKSL field.
The external oscillator valid detector will always return zero when the external oscillator is configured to External CMOS Clock mode.

9. Reset Sources and Power Supply Monitor
9.1 Introduction
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this reset state, the following occur:
• The core halts program execution.
• Module registers are initialized to their defined reset values unless the bits reset only with a power-on reset.
• External port pins are forced to a known state.
• Interrupts and timers are disabled.
All registers are reset to the predefined values noted in the register descriptions unless the bits only reset with a power-on reset. The
contents of RAM are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved as long as power is not lost. By default, the Port
I/O latches are reset to 1 in open-drain mode, with weak pullups enabled during and after the reset. Optionally, firmware may configure
the port I/O, DAC outputs, and precision reference to maintain state through system resets other than power-on resets. For Supply
Monitor and power-on resets, the RSTb pin is driven low until the device exits the reset state. On exit from the reset state, the program
counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to an internal oscillator. The Watchdog Timer is enabled, and program execution
begins at location 0x0000.

9.3 Functional Description
9.3.1 Device Reset
Upon entering a reset state from any source, the following events occur:
• The processor core halts program execution.
• Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values.
• External port pins are placed in a known state.
• Interrupts and timers are disabled.
SFRs are reset to the predefined reset values noted in the detailed register descriptions. The contents of internal data memory are
unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved. However, since the stack pointer SFR is reset, the stack is effectively lost, even though the data on the stack is not altered.
The port I/O latches are reset to 0xFF (all logic ones) in open-drain mode. Weak pullups are enabled during and after the reset. For
Supply Monitor and power-on resets, the RSTb pin is driven low until the device exits the reset state.
Note: During a power-on event, there may be a short delay before the POR circuitry fires and the RSTb pin is driven low. During that
time, the RSTb pin will be weakly pulled to the supply pin.
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, the watchdog timer is enabled, and the system clock defaults to an
internal oscillator. Program execution begins at location 0x0000.
Optionally, firmware may configure the port I/O, DAC outputs, and precision reference to maintain state through system resets other
than power-on resets. Setting the RSTMD bits in the DACnCF0 registers will cause the DAC output voltage and precision reference to
persist through all resets except for power-on resets. Setting the PINRSTMD bit in the PCON1 register will cause the port I/O state to
persist through all resets except for power-on resets.

9.3.2 Power-On Reset
During power-up, the POR circuit fires. When POR fires, the device is held in a reset state and the RSTb pin is driven low until the
supply voltage settles above VRST. Two delays are present during the supply ramp time. First, a delay occurs before the POR circuitry
fires and pulls the RSTb pin low. A second delay occurs before the device is released from reset; the delay decreases as the supply
ramp time increases (supply ramp time is defined as how fast the supply pin ramps from 0 V to VRST). For ramp times less than 1 ms,
the power-on reset time (TPOR) is typically less than 0.3 ms. Additionally, the power supply must reach VRST before the POR circuit
releases the device from reset.

On exit from a power-on reset, the PORSF flag is set by hardware to logic 1. When PORSF is set, all of the other reset flags in the
RSTSRC register are indeterminate. (PORSF is cleared by all other resets.) Since all resets cause program execution to begin at the
same location (0x0000), software can read the PORSF flag to determine if a power-up was the cause of reset. The content of internal
data memory should be assumed to be undefined after a power-on reset. The supply monitor is enabled following a power-on reset.

9.3.3 Supply Monitor Reset
volts
The supply monitor senses the voltage on the device's supply pin and can generate a reset if the supply drops below the corresponding
threshold. This monitor is enabled and enabled as a reset source after initial power-on to protect the device until the supply is an adequate and stable voltage. When enabled and selected as a reset source, any power down transition or power irregularity that causes
the supply to drop below the reset threshold will drive the RSTb pin low and hold the core in a reset state. When the supply returns to a
level above the reset threshold, the monitor will release the core from the reset state. The reset status can then be read using the
device reset sources module. After a power-fail reset, the PORF flag reads 1 and all of the other reset flags in the RSTSRC register are
indeterminate. The power-on reset delay (tPOR) is not incurred after a supply monitor reset. The contents of RAM should be presumed
invalid after a supply monitor reset. The enable state of the supply monitor and its selection as a reset source is not altered by device
resets. For example, if the supply monitor is de-selected as a reset source and disabled by software using the VDMEN bit in the
VDM0CN register, and then firmware performs a software reset, the supply monitor will remain disabled and de-selected after the reset.
To protect the integrity of flash contents, the supply monitor must be enabled and selected as a reset source if software contains routines that erase or write flash memory. If the supply monitor is not enabled, any erase or write performed on flash memory will be ignored.

9.3.4 External Reset
The external RSTb pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the device into a reset state. Asserting an active-low signal on
the RSTb pin generates a reset; an external pullup and/or decoupling of the RSTb pin may be necessary to avoid erroneous noiseinduced resets. The PINRSF flag is set on exit from an external reset.
9.3.5 Missing Clock Detector Reset
The Missing Clock Detector (MCD) is a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the system clock. If the system clock remains high or low for
more than the MCD time window, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a MCD reset, the MCDRSF flag will read 1,
signifying the MCD as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. Writing a 1 to the MCDRSF bit enables the Missing Clock Detector;
writing a 0 disables it. The state of the RSTb pin is unaffected by this reset.
9.3.6 Comparator (CMP0) Reset
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag. Comparator0 should be enabled and allowed to
settle prior to writing to C0RSEF to prevent any turn-on chatter on the output from generating an unwanted reset. The Comparator0
reset is active-low: if the non-inverting input voltage (on CP0+) is less than the inverting input voltage (on CP0–), the device is put into
the reset state. After a Comparator0 reset, the C0RSEF flag will read 1 signifying Comparator0 as the reset source; otherwise, this bit
reads 0. The state of the RSTb pin is unaffected by this reset.

9.3.7 Watchdog Timer Reset
The programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) can be used to prevent software from running out of control during a system malfunction.
The WDT function can be enabled or disabled by software as described in the watchdog timer section. If a system malfunction prevents
user software from updating the WDT, a reset is generated and the WDTRSF bit is set to 1. The state of the RSTb pin is unaffected by
this reset.
9.3.8 Flash Error Reset
If a flash read/write/erase or program read targets an illegal address, a system reset is generated. This may occur due to any of the
following:
• A flash write or erase is attempted above user code space.
• A flash read is attempted above user code space.
• A program read is attempted above user code space (i.e., a branch instruction to the reserved area).
• A flash read, write or erase attempt is restricted due to a flash security setting.
The FERROR bit is set following a flash error reset. The state of the RSTb pin is unaffected by this reset.

CIP-51 Microcontroller Core
10. CIP-51 Microcontroller Core
10.1 Introduction
The CIP-51 microcontroller core is a high-speed, pipelined, 8-bit core utilizing the standard MCS-51™ instruction set. Any standard
803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop software. The MCU family has a superset of all the peripherals included
with a standard 8051. The CIP-51 includes on-chip debug hardware and interfaces directly with the analog and digital subsystems providing a complete data acquisition or control system solution.

CIP-51 Microcontroller Core
Performance
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the standard 8051 architecture. The
CIP-51 core executes 76 of its 109 instructions in one or two clock cycles, with no instructions taking more than eight clock cycles. The
table below shows the distribution of instructions vs. the number of clock cycles required for execution.

Notes:
1. Conditional branch instructions (indicated by "2 or 3*", "3 or 4*" and "4 or 5*") require extra clock cycles if the branch is taken. See
the instruction table for more information.
10.2 Features
The CIP-51 Microcontroller core implements the standard 8051 organization and peripherals as well as additional custom peripherals
and functions to extend its capability. The CIP-51 includes the following features:
• Fast, efficient, pipelined architecture.
• Fully compatible with MCS-51 instruction set.
• 0 to 50 MHz operating clock frequency.
• 50 MIPS peak throughput with 50 MHz clock.
• Extended interrupt handler.
• Power management modes.
• On-chip debug logic.
• Program and data memory security.
10.3 Functional Description
10.3.1 Programming and Debugging Support
In-system programming of the flash program memory and communication with on-chip debug support logic is accomplished via the Silicon Labs 2-Wire development interface (C2).
The on-chip debug support logic facilitates full speed in-circuit debugging, allowing the setting of hardware breakpoints, starting, stopping and single stepping through program execution (including interrupt service routines), examination of the program's call stack, and
reading/writing the contents of registers and memory. This method of on-chip debugging is completely non-intrusive, requiring no RAM,
stack, timers, or other on-chip resources.
The CIP-51 is supported by development tools from Silicon Labs and third party vendors. Silicon Labs provides an integrated development environment (IDE) including editor, debugger and programmer. The IDE's debugger and programmer interface to the CIP-51 via
the C2 interface to provide fast and efficient in-system device programming and debugging. Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also available.
10.3.2 Prefetch Engine
The CIP-51 core incorporates a multi-byte prefetch engine to enable faster core clock speeds. Because the access time of the flash
memory is 40 ns, and the minimum instruction time is 20 ns, the prefetch engine is necessary for full-speed code execution. Multiple
instruction bytes are read from flash memory by the prefetch engine and given to the CIP-51 processor core to execute. When running
linear code (code without any jumps or branches), the prefetch engine allows instructions to be executed at full speed. When a code
branch occurs, the processor may be stalled for up to three clock cycles while the next set of code bytes is retrieved from flash memory.
When operating at speeds greater than 25 MHz, the prefetch engine must be used. To enable the prefetch engine, the FLRT bit field
should be configured to the desired speed setting. For example, if running between 25 and 50 MHz, FLRT should be set to 1, and when
operating between 50 and 75 MHz, FLRT should be set to 2. When changing clocks, the FLRT field should be set to the higher number
during the clock change, to ensure that flash is never read too quickly.

CIP-51 Microcontroller Core
10.3.3 Instruction Set
The instruction set of the CIP-51 System Controller is fully compatible with the standard MCS-51™ instruction set. Standard 8051 development tools can be used to develop software for the CIP-51. All CIP-51 instructions are the binary and functional equivalent of their
MCS-51™ counterparts, including opcodes, addressing modes and effect on PSW flags. However, instruction timing is much faster
than that of the standard 8051.
All instruction timing on the CIP-51 controller is based directly on the core clock timing. This is in contrast to many other 8-bit architectures, where a distinction is made between machine cycles and clock cycles, with machine cycles taking multiple core clock cycles.
Due to the pipelined architecture of the CIP-51, most instructions execute in the same number of clock cycles as there are program
bytes in the instruction. Conditional branch instructions take one less clock cycle to complete when the branch is not taken as opposed
to when the branch is taken. The following table summarizes the instruction set, including the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number
of clock cycles for each instruction.

11. Port I/O, Crossbar, External Interrupts, and Port Match
11.1 Introduction
Digital and analog resources are externally available on the device’s multi-purpose I/O pins. Port pins P0.0-P2.3 can be defined as general-purpose I/O (GPIO), assigned to one of the internal digital resources through the crossbar or dedicated channels, or assigned to an
analog function. Port pins P2.4 to P3.7 can be used as GPIO. Additionally, the C2 Interface Data signal (C2D) is shared with P3.0 or
P3.7, depending on the package option.

11.3 Functional Description
11.3.1 Port I/O Modes of Operation
Port pins are configured by firmware as digital or analog I/O using the special function registers. Port I/O initialization consists of the
following general steps:
1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all port pins, using the Port Input Mode register (PnMDIN).
2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all port pins, using the Port Output Mode register (PnMDOUT).
3. Select any pins to be skipped by the I/O crossbar using the Port Skip registers (PnSKIP).
4. Assign port pins to desired peripherals.
5. Enable the crossbar (XBARE = 1).
A diagram of the port I/O cell is shown in the following figure.

Configuring Port Pins For Analog Modes
Any pins to be used for analog functions should be configured for analog mode. When a pin is configured for analog I/O, its weak pullup, digital driver, and digital receiver are disabled. This saves power by eliminating crowbar current, and reduces noise on the analog
input. Pins configured as digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however this practice is not recommended. Port pins
configured for analog functions will always read back a value of 0 in the corresponding Pn Port Latch register. To configure a pin as
analog, the following steps should be taken:
1. Clear the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDIN register to 0. This selects analog mode for the pin.
2. Set the bit associated with the pin in the Pn register to 1.
3. Skip the bit associated with the pin in the PnSKIP register to ensure the crossbar does not attempt to assign a function to the pin.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Port I/O, Crossbar, External Interrupts, and Port Match
Configuring Port Pins For Digital Modes
Any pins to be used by digital peripherals or as GPIO should be configured as digital I/O (PnMDIN.n = 1). For digital I/O pins, one of
two output modes (push-pull or open-drain) must be selected using the PnMDOUT registers.
Push-pull outputs (PnMDOUT.n = 1) drive the port pad to the supply rails based on the output logic value of the port pin. Open-drain
outputs have the high side driver disabled; therefore, they only drive the port pad to the lowside rail when the output logic value is 0 and
become high impedance inputs (both high low drivers turned off) when the output logic value is 1.
When a digital I/O cell is placed in the high impedance state, a weak pull-up transistor pulls the port pad to the high side rail to ensure
the digital input is at a defined logic state. Weak pull-ups are disabled when the I/O cell is driven low to minimize power consumption,
and they may be globally disabled by setting WEAKPUD to 1. The user should ensure that digital I/O are always internally or externally
pulled or driven to a valid logic state to minimize power consumption. Port pins configured for digital I/O always read back the logic
state of the port pad, regardless of the output logic value of the port pin.
To configure a pin as a digital input:
1. Set the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDIN register to 1. This selects digital mode for the pin.
2. lear the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDOUT register to 0. This configures the pin as open-drain.
3. Set the bit associated with the pin in the Pn register to 1. This tells the output driver to “drive” logic high. Because the pin is configured as open-drain, the high-side driver is disabled, and the pin may be used as an input.
Open-drain outputs are configured exactly as digital inputs. The pin may be driven low by an assigned peripheral, or by writing 0 to the
associated bit in the Pn register if the signal is a GPIO.
To configure a pin as a digital, push-pull output:
1. Set the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDIN register to 1. This selects digital mode for the pin.
2. Set the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDOUT register to 1. This configures the pin as push-pull.
If a digital pin is to be used as a general-purpose I/O, or with a digital function that is not part of the crossbar, the bit associated with the
pin in the PnSKIP register can be set to 1 to ensure the crossbar does not attempt to assign a function to the pin. The crossbar must be
enabled to use port pins as standard port I/O in output mode. Port output drivers of all I/O pins are disabled whenever the crossbar is
disabled.
11.3.1.1 Port Drive Strength
Port drive strength can be controlled on a port-by-port basis using the PRTDRV register. Each port has a bit in PRTDRV to select the
high or low drive strength setting for all pins on that port. By default, all ports are configured for high drive strength.

Port I/O, Crossbar, External Interrupts, and Port Match
11.3.3 Priority Crossbar Decoder
The priority crossbar decoder assigns a priority to each I/O function, starting at the top with UART0. The XBRn registers are used to
control which crossbar resources are assigned to physical I/O port pins.
When a digital resource is selected, the least-significant unassigned port pin is assigned to that resource (excluding UART0, which is
always assigned to dedicated pins). If a port pin is assigned, the crossbar skips that pin when assigning the next selected resource.
Additionally, the the PnSKIP registers allow software to skip port pins that are to be used for analog functions, dedicated digital functions, or GPIO. If a port pin is to be used by a function which is not assigned through the crossbar, its corresponding PnSKIP bit should
be set to 1 in most cases. The crossbar skips these pins as if they were already assigned, and moves to the next unassigned pin.
It is possible for crossbar-assigned peripherals and dedicated functions to coexist on the same pin. For example, the port match function could be configured to watch for a falling edge on a UART RX line and generate an interrupt or wake up the device from a lowpower state. However, if two functions share the same pin, the crossbar will have control over the output characteristics of that pin and
the dedicated function will only have input access. Likewise, it is possible for firmware to read the logic state of any digital I/O pin assigned to a crossbar peripheral, but the output state cannot be directly modified.
Figure 11.3 Crossbar Priority Decoder Example Assignments on page 93 shows an example of the resulting pin assignments of the
device with UART0 and SPI0 enabled and P0.3 skipped (P0SKIP = 0x08). UART0 is the highest priority and it will be assigned first.
The UART0 pins can only appear at fixed locations (in this example, P0.4 and P0.5), so it occupies those pins. The next-highest enabled peripheral is SPI0. P0.0, P0.1 and P0.2 are free, so SPI0 takes these three pins. The fourth pin, NSS, is routed to P0.6 because
P0.3 is skipped and P0.4 and P0.5 are already occupied by the UART. Any other pins on the device are available for use as generalpurpose digital I/O or analog functions.

Port I/O, Crossbar, External Interrupts, and Port Match
11.3.4 INT0 and INT1
Two direct-pin digital interrupt sources (INT0 and INT1) are included, which can be routed to port 0 pins. Additional I/O interrupts are
available through the port match function. As is the case on a standard 8051 architecture, certain controls for these two interrupt sources are available in the Timer0/1 registers. Extensions to these controls which provide additional functionality are available in the
IT01CF register. INT0 and INT1 are configurable as active high or low, edge- or level-sensitive. The IN0PL and IN1PL bits in the
IT01CF register select active high or active low; the IT0 and IT1 bits in TCON select level- or edge-sensitive. The table below lists the
possible configurations.

INT0 and INT1 are assigned to port pins as defined in the IT01CF register. INT0 and INT1 port pin assignments are independent of any
crossbar assignments, and may be assigned to pins used by crossbar peripherals. INT0 and INT1 will monitor their assigned port pins
without disturbing the peripheral that was assigned the port pin via the crossbar. To assign a port pin only to INT0 and/or INT1, configure the crossbar to skip the selected pin(s).
IE0 and IE1 in the TCON register serve as the interrupt-pending flags for the INT0 and INT1 external interrupts, respectively. If an INT0
or INT1 external interrupt is configured as edge-sensitive, the corresponding interrupt pending flag is automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. When configured as level sensitive, the interrupt-pending flag remains logic 1 while the input is
active as defined by the corresponding polarity bit (IN0PL or IN1PL); the flag remains logic 0 while the input is inactive. The external
interrupt source must hold the input active until the interrupt request is recognized. It must then deactivate the interrupt request before
execution of the ISR completes or another interrupt request will be generated.
11.3.5 Port Match
Port match functionality allows system events to be triggered by a logic value change on one or more port I/O pins. A software controlled value stored in the PnMATCH registers specifies the expected or normal logic values of the associated port pins (for example,
P0MATCH.0 would correspond to P0.0). A port mismatch event occurs if the logic levels of the port’s input pins no longer match the
software controlled value. This allows software to be notified if a certain change or pattern occurs on the input pins regardless of the
XBRn settings.
The PnMASK registers can be used to individually select which pins should be compared against the PnMATCH registers. A port mismatch event is generated if (Pn & PnMASK) does not equal (PnMATCH & PnMASK) for all ports with a PnMAT and PnMASK register.
A port mismatch event may be used to generate an interrupt or wake the device from low power modes. See the interrupts and power
options chapters for more details on interrupt and wake-up sources.
11.3.6 Direct Port I/O Access (Read/Write)
All port I/O are accessed through corresponding special function registers. When writing to a port, the value written to the SFR is latched to maintain the output data value at each pin. When reading, the logic levels of the port's input pins are returned regardless of the
XBRn settings (i.e., even when the pin is assigned to another signal by the crossbar, the port register can always read its corresponding
port I/O pin). The exception to this is the execution of the read-modify-write instructions that target a Port Latch register as the destination. The read-modify-write instructions when operating on a port SFR are the following: ANL, ORL, XRL, JBC, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ
and MOV, CLR or SETB, when the destination is an individual bit in a port SFR. For these instructions, the value of the latch register
(not the pin) is read, modified, and written back to the SFR.

12.3.2 Gain Setting
The ADC has gain settings of 1x, 0.75x, 0.5x and 0.25x. In 1x mode, the full scale reading of the ADC is determined directly by VREF.
In the other modes, the full-scale reading of the ADC occurs when the input voltage is equal to VREF divided by the selected gain. For
example, in 0.5x mode, the full scale input voltage is VREF / 0.5 = VREF x 2. The lower gain settings can be useful to obtain a higher
input voltage range when using a small VREF voltage, or to measure input voltages that are between VREF and the supply voltage.
Gain settings for the ADC are controlled by the ADGN field in register ADC0CN0. Note that even with the lower gain settings, voltages
above the supply rail cannot be measured directly by the ADC.
12.3.3 Voltage Reference Options
The voltage reference multiplexer is configurable to use a number of different internal and external reference sources. The ground reference mux allows the ground reference for ADC0 to be selected between the ground pin (GND) or a port pin dedicated to analog
ground (AGND). The voltage and ground reference options are configured using the REF0CN register. The REFSL field selects between the different reference options, while GNDSL configures the ground connection.
12.3.3.1 Internal Voltage Reference
The high-speed internal reference is self-contained and stabilized. It is not routed to an external pin and requires no external decoupling. When selected, the internal reference will be automatically enabled/disabled on an as-needed basis by the ADC. The reference is
nominally 1.65 V. The electrical specification tables in the datasheet have more information about the accuracy of this reference source.
12.3.3.2 Supply or LDO Voltage Reference
For applications with a non-varying power supply voltage, using the power supply as the voltage reference can provide the ADC with
added dynamic range at the cost of reduced power supply noise rejection. Additionally, the internal LDO supply to the core may be
used as a reference. Neither of these reference sources are routed to the VREF pin, and do not require additional external decoupling.
12.3.3.3 External Voltage Reference
An external reference may be applied to the VREF pin. Bypass capacitors should be added as recommended by the manufacturer of
the external voltage reference. If the manufacturer does not provide recommendations, a 4.7 µF in parallel with a 0.1 µF capacitor is
recommended.
Note: The VREF pin is a multi-function GPIO pin. When using an external voltage reference, VREF should be configured as an analog
input and skipped by the crossbar.

12.3.3.4 Precision Voltage Reference
The precision voltage reference source is an on-chip block which requires external bypass (see the VREF chapter for details). The precision reference is routed to the VREF pin. To use the precision reference with the ADC, it should be enabled and settled, and the
ADC's REFSL field should be set to the VREF pin setting.
12.3.3.5 Ground Reference
To prevent ground noise generated by switching digital logic from affecting sensitive analog measurements, a separate analog ground
reference option is available. When enabled, the ground reference for the ADC during both the tracking/sampling and the conversion
periods is taken from the AGND pin. Any external sensors sampled by the ADC should be referenced to the AGND pin. If an external
voltage reference is used, the AGND pin should be connected to the ground of the external reference and its associated decoupling
capacitor. The separate analog ground reference option is enabled by setting GNDSL to 1. Note that when sampling the internal temperature sensor, the internal chip ground is always used for the sampling operation, regardless of the setting of the GNDSL bit. Similarly, whenever the internal high-speed reference is selected, the internal chip ground is always used during the conversion period, regardless of the setting of the GNDSL bit.
Note: The AGND pin is a multi-function GPIO pin. When using AGND as the ground reference to the ADC, AGND should be configured
as an analog input and skipped by the crossbar.
12.3.4 Clocking
The ADC clock (ADCCLK) can be selected from one of two sources using the ADCLKSEL field in ADC0CF0. The default selection is
the system clock (SYSCLK). For applications requiring faster conversions but using a slower system clock, the HFOSC0 oscillator may
be selected as the ADC clock source. ADCCLK is used to clock registers and other logic in the ADC.
The conversion process is driven by the SAR clock (SARCLK). SARCLK is a divided version of the ADCCLK. The ADSC field in
ADC0CF0 determines the divide ratio for SARCLK. In most applications, SARCLK should be adjusted to operate as fast as possible,
without exceeding the maximum SAR clock frequency of 18 MHz.

12.3.5 Timing
Each ADC conversion may consist of multiple phases: power-up, tracking, and conversion. The power-up phase allows time for the
ADC and internal reference circuitry to power on before sampling the input and performing a conversion. The power-up phase is optional, and used only when the ADC is configured to power off after the conversion is complete (IPOEN = 1). When IPOEN = 1, the ADC
will power up, accumulate the requested number of conversions, and then power back off. The power-up phase is only present before
the first conversion.
The tracking phase is the time period when the ADC multiplexer is connected to the selected input and sampled. Tracking can be defined to occur whenever a conversion is not in progress, or the ADC may be configured to track the input for a specific time prior to
each conversion. When accumulating multiple conversions, it is important that the ADTK field be programmed for sufficient tracking
between each conversion.
At the end of the tracking phase, the sample/hold circuit disconnects the input from the selected channel, and the sampled voltage is
then converted to a digital value during the conversion phase.

Each ADC conversion must be preceded by a minimum tracking time to allow the voltage on the sampling capacitor to settle, and for
the converted result to be accurate.

Settling Time Requirements
The absolute minimum tracking time is given in the electrical specifications tables. It may be necessary to track for longer than the minimum tracking time specification, depending on the application. For example, if the ADC input is presented with a large series impedance, it will take longer for the sampling cap to settle on the final value during the tracking phase. The exact amount of tracking time
required is a function of all series impedance (including the internal mux impedance and any external impedance sources), the sampling capacitance, and the desired accuracy.

Where: SA is the settling accuracy, given as a fraction of an LSB (for example, 0.25 to settle within 1/4 LSB)
t is the required settling time in seconds
RTOTAL is the sum of the ADC mux resistance and any external source resistance.
CSAMPLE is the size of the ADC sampling capacitor.
n is the ADC resolution in bits.
When measuring any internal source, RTOTAL reduces to RMUX. See the electrical specification tables in the datasheet for ADC minimum settling time requirements as well as the mux impedance and sampling capacitor values.
Configuring the Tracking Time
The ADTK field configures the amount of time which will be allocated for input tracking by the ADC conversion logic. The absolute minimum tracking time when operating with the highest power settings is 230 ns. When operated in low power mode, the minimum tracking
time is 450 ns.
When IPOEN is set to 1, firmware must always configure the ADTK field to allow adequate tracking and settling of the selected input.
The tracking time will be applied after the power-up phase is complete, and before the conversion begins.
When IPOEN is cleared to 0, the ADC-timed tracking phase will still be applied before every conversion. If ADRPT is configured to
accumulate multiple conversions, firmware must configure the ADTK bits to ensure that adequate tracking is given to every conversion.
However, the ADC will continue to track the input whenever it is not actively performing a conversion. ADTK may be set to zero, provided that ADRPT is configured for single conversions, and adequate tracking time is allowed for in-between every conversion.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Analog to Digital Converter (ADC0)
12.3.5.2 Power-Up Timing
The ADC requires up to 1.2 us to power up and settle all internal circuitry. When IPOEN is set to 1, the ADC will power down between
conversions to save energy. Firmware must configure the ADPWR field to allow adequate time for the ADC and internal reference circuitry to power up before each conversion.
When IPOEN is cleared to 0, the ADPWR time is not applied. This is primarily useful when operating the ADC in faster data acquisition
systems. When firmware enables the ADC from a powered-down state, it must take the required power time into account before
initiating a conversion. Once the ADC is powered on in this mode, it will remain powered up and the power-up time is not needed between subsequent conversions.
12.3.5.3 Conversion Resolution and Timing
The conversion resolution is adjusted using the ADBITS field in ADC0CN1, and selectable between 12- and 10-bit modes. The total
amount of time required for a conversion is equal to:
Total Conversion Time = RPT × (ADTK + NUMBITS + 1) × T(SARCLK) + (T(ADCCLK) × 4)
where RPT is the number of conversions represented by the ADRPT field and ADCCLK is the clock selected for the ADC. Up to one
SYSCLK of synchronization time is also required when triggering from the external CNVSTR pin source.
12.3.6 Initiating Conversions
Conversions may be initiated in many ways, depending on the programmed state of the ADCM bitfield. The following options are available as conversion trigger sources:
1. Software-triggered—Writing a 1 to the ADBUSY bit initiates conversions.
2. Hardware-triggered—An automatic internal event such as a timer overflow initiates conversions.
3. External pin-triggered—A rising edge on the CNVSTR input signal initiates conversions.
Note: The CNVSTR pin is a multi-function GPIO pin. When the CNVSTR input is used as the ADC conversion source, the associated port pin should be skipped in the crossbar settings.
Basic converter operation is straightforward. The selected conversion trigger will begin the conversion cycle. Writing a 1 to ADBUSY
provides software control of ADC0 whereby conversions are performed "on-demand". All other trigger sources occur autonomous to
code execution. Each conversion cycle may consist of one or more conversions, as determined by the ADRPT setting. Individual conversions from the ADC will be accumulated until the requested number of conversions has been accumulated. When the converter is
finished accumulating conversions, the ADINT flag will be posted and firmware may read the output results from the ADC data registers
(ADC0H:ADC0L). Note that the first conversion in an accumulation sequence is triggered from the selected trigger source, while all subsequent conversions in an accumulation sequence will be self-triggered upon completing the previous conversion.
During any conversion, the ADBUSY bit is set to logic 1 and reset to logic 0 when the conversion is complete. However, the ADBUSY
bit should not be used to poll for ADC conversion completion. It will read back 0 whenever the converter is not in the conversion phase,
and results may not yet be available in the ADC data registers. The ADC interrupt flag (ADINT) should be polled instead, when writing
polled-mode firmware.
12.3.7 Autoscan Mode
In addition to basic conversions, the ADC includes a flexible autoscan mode, which offloads much of the firmware tasks required to
collect information from the ADC. Autoscan allows multiple output words from the ADC to be collected on up to four contiguous ADC
channels without firmware intervention. ADC outputs are written to a firmware-designated area of XDATA space in the order they are
received. The firmware specifies the number of desired output words (up to 64) before a scan begins. When active, the scanner will
collect the requested number of output words from the ADC. At the end of a scan sequence, hardware copies select register settings
into its shadow copies, generates an interrupt, and if still enabled, continues with a new scan.
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly.
Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 131
EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Analog to Digital Converter (ADC0)
Trigger Configuration
In autoscan mode, the ADC may be triggered by any of the trigger source options selected by ADCM. The STEN bit in ADC0ASCF
controls whether multiple triggers or a single trigger is required to complete the scan operation. When STEN is cleared to 0 (MULTIPLE_TRIGGERS), each (accumulated) conversion in the scan requires a new conversion trigger event. For example, if Timer 3 is the
selected ADC trigger source and the autoscan hardware is configured to accumulate 20 sets of 4 conversions, Timer 3 would need to
overflow 20 times to generate a trigger event for each conversion. When STEN is set to 1 (SINGLE_TRIGGER), an entire scan will be
performed using a single trigger. In the preceding example, the first conversion would be triggered from a Timer 3 overflow event, and
then the rest of the conversions would be automatically triggered by the scan hardware as each conversion completes.
Note: The converter must not be in the process of a normal conversion when entering autoscan mode. For this reason, firmware should
ensure that the desired trigger source will not trigger the ADC before ASEN is set to 1. The simplest way to do this is to leave ADCM
configured for software triggers until after ASEN is set to 1, and then select the desired trigger source.
Channel Configuration
The scanner hardware is capable of collecting data from up to four contiguous ADC channels in sequence. The ADC0MX register defines the first channel to be converted, and the NASCH field in ADC0ASCF defines the number of channels (1, 2, 3, or 4) to be converted. Channels are converted in circular fashion, one at a time. For example, if ADC0MX is configured to 0x02, NASCH is configured to
convert three channels, and nine conversions are requested, the autoscan hardware will collect a conversion from ADC0MX = 0x02,
then ADC0MX = 0x03, then ADC0MX = 0x04, then repeat at ADC0MX = 0x02, and so on until nine conversions are collected (three
conversions on each of the three chanenls).
The ADRPT setting is valid in autoscan mode, and each accumulated sample counts as one conversion output from the autoscan hardware. If ADRPT is configured to accumulate 4 conversions and the scanner is configured to collect 9 samples, a total of 9 x 4, or 36
conversions will be performed. When scanning through multiple channels, the ADC will accumulate the requested number of conversions on each channel before proceeding to the next channel.
Output Data Configuration
Data from the autoscanner is written directly into XDATA space, starting at an address defined by the 16-bit ADC0ASA register (the
combination of the two 8-bit registers ADC0ASAH and ADC0ASAL). ADC0ASA[11:1] correspond directly to bits 11:1 of the XRAM starting address. This means that the starting address must occur on an even-numbered address location. The ENDIAN bit in ADC0ASAL
defines the endian-ness of the output data.
Each output word from the ADC will require two bytes of XDATA space. For a single scan consisting of 10 conversions, 20 XDATA
bytes are required to hold the output.
Note: The toolchain used for firmware development will not be automatically aware of the location for the scanner output. When using
the autoscan function, it is very important for the firmware developer to reserve the area intended for scanner output, to avoid contention with other variables.
Autoscan Operation
When ADC configuration is complete, firmware may place the ADC in scan mode by setting the ASEN bit in ADC0ASCF to 1. Note that
the scan does not immediately begin when the ASEN bit is set. ASEN places the ADC into autosan mode, waiting for the first trigger to
occur. When ASEN is set, hardware will copy the contents of the ADC0ASAH, ADC0ASAL, AD0ASCNT and ADC0MX registers, as well
as the NASCH field in ADC0ASCF into local registers for the scanner to use. This allows firmware to immediately set up the parameters
for the following scan.
If only one scan is desired, firmware can immediately clear ASEN back to 0. Just as setting ASEN does not immediately begin a scan,
clearing ASEN does not immediately take the converter out of autoscan mode. Autoscan mode will only be halted if ASEN is 0 at the
completion of a scan operation. To terminate a scan in progress, firmware must disable the ADC completely with the ADEN bit.
When the ADC first enters autoscan mode, it waits for the selected conversion trigger to occur. In the case of software-triggered operation, firmware can begin the scan by setting the ADBUSY bit to 1. For timer-triggered conversions, firmware should enable the selected
timer.
The scan will proceed according to the configuration options until all of the operations specified by AD0ASCNT have been completed.
At the end of a scan operation, the scanner will set the AD0INT bit to 1, and check the status of ASEN. If ASEN is 0, autoscan mode is
terminated, and the converter will return to normal mode. If ASEN is 1 however, a new scan is immediately begun, scan settings are
loaded into the scanner's local registers, and the ADC waits for the next trigger to occur.

XDATA. The buffer will consist of two 64-word (128-byte) areas in XDATA, beginning at 0x0000 and 0x0080, and the firmware is responsible for changing the scanner hardware at the appropriate intervals to keep a continual flow of data into memory. This example

12.3.8 Output Formatting and Accumulation
The registers ADC0H and ADC0L contain the high and low bytes of the output conversion code from the ADC at the completion of each
conversion. Data may be accumulated over multiple conversions and the final output may be shifted right by a selectable amount, effectively providing an "accumulate and average" function. In the following examples, 1 LSBn refers to the voltage of one LSB of the converter at the specified resolution, calculated as VREF x 1 / (2^n). An LSB12 would be calculated as VREF x 1/4096.
When the repeat count ADRPT is configured for a single conversion and the ADSJST field is configured for no shifting, output conversion codes are represented in the selected resolution of the converter. Example codes are shown below for the different data formats
with ADRPT = 0, ADSJST = 0, and a gain setting of 1x (ADGN = 0). Unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to 0.

When the repeat count is greater than 1, the output conversion code represents the accumulated result of the conversions performed
and is updated after the last conversion in the series is finished. Sets of 4, 8, 16, or 32 consecutive samples can be accumulated and
represented in unsigned integer format. The repeat count can be selected using the ADRPT bit field. Unused bits in the ADC0H and
ADC0L registers are set to 0. The example below shows the right-justified result for various input voltages and repeat counts for 12-bit
conversions. Notice that accumulating 2n samples is equivalent to left-shifting by n bit positions when all samples returned from the
ADC have the same value.

Additionally, the ADSJST bit field can be used to format the contents of the 16-bit accumulator. The accumulated result can be shifted

Some applications do not require accumulation for a defined period, but instead need to integrate samples until a specific threshold is
reached or a certain event occurs. For these applications, the accumulator clear function can be disabled by setting PACEN to 1. The
ADC will always add the latest result to the value present in the accumulator, and the accumulator will never be reset to 0 by hardware.

12.3.9 Window Comparator
The ADC's programmable window detector compares the ADC output registers to user-programmed limits, and notifies the system
when a desired condition is detected. This is especially effective in an interrupt driven system, saving code space and CPU bandwidth
while delivering faster system response times. The window detector interrupt flag (ADWINT) can also be used in polled mode. The ADC
Greater-Than (ADC0GTH, ADC0GTL) and Less-Than (ADC0LTH, ADC0LTL) registers hold the comparison values. The window detector flag can be programmed to indicate when measured data is inside or outside of the user-programmed limits, depending on the contents of the ADC0GT and ADC0LT registers. The following tables show how the ADC0GT and ADC0LT registers may be configured to
set the ADWINT flag when the ADC output code is above, below, beween, or outside of specific values.

12.3.10 Temperature Sensor
An on-chip analog temperature sensor is available to the ADC multiplexer input. To use the ADC to measure the temperature sensor,
the ADC mux channel should select the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 12.7 Temperature Sensor Transfer Function on page 139. The output voltage (VTEMP) is the positive ADC input when the ADC multiplexer is set
correctly. The TEMPE bit in register ADC0CN0 enables/disables the temperature sensor. While disabled, the temperature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and any ADC measurements performed on the sensor will result in meaningless data. Refer to the

For greater precision on absolute temperature measurements, offset and/or gain calibration may be performed in-system. Typically a 1point (offset) calibration includes the following steps:
1. Control/measure the ambient temperature (this temperature must be known).
2. Power the device, and delay for a few seconds to allow for self-heating.
3. Perform an ADC conversion with the temperature sensor selected as the ADC input.
4. Calculate the offset characteristics, and store this value in non-volatile memory for use with subsequent temperature sensor measurements.

Comparators (CMP0 and CMP1)
13. Comparators (CMP0 and CMP1)
13.1 Introduction
An analog comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is higher.
External input connections to device I/O pins and internal connections are available through separate multiplexers on the positive and
negative inputs. Hysteresis, response time, and current consumption may be programmed to suit the specific needs of the application.

13.2 Features
The comparator includes the following features:
• Up to 10 (CMP0) or 9 (CMP1) external positive inputs
• Up to 10 (CMP0) or 9 (CMP1) external negative inputs
• Additional input options:
• Internal connection to LDO output
• Direct connection to GND
• Direct connection to VDD
• Dedicated 6-bit reference DAC
• Synchronous and asynchronous outputs can be routed to pins via crossbar
• Programmable hysteresis between 0 and ±20 mV
• Programmable response time
• Interrupts generated on rising, falling, or both edges
• PWM output kill feature
13.3 Functional Description
13.3.1 Response Time and Supply Current
Response time is the amount of time delay between a change at the comparator inputs and the comparator's reaction at the output.
The comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPMD field in the CMPnMD register. Selecting a longer response
time reduces the comparator supply current, while shorter response times require more supply current.

Comparators (CMP0 and CMP1)
13.3.2 Hysteresis
The comparator hysteresis is software-programmable via its Comparator Control register CMPnCN. The user can program both the
amount of hysteresis voltage (referred to the input voltage) and the positive and negative-going symmetry of this hysteresis around the
threshold voltage.
The comparator hysteresis is programmable using the CPHYN and CPHYP fields in the Comparator Control Register CMPnCN. The
amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CPHYN bits. Settings of 20, 10, or 5 mV (nominal) of negative hysteresis can be programmed, or negative hysteresis can be disabled. In a similar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is determined by the setting the CPHYP bits.

Figure 13.2. Comparator Hysteresis Plot
13.3.3 Input Selection
Comparator inputs may be routed to port I/O pins or internal signals. When connected externally, the comparator inputs can be driven
from –0.25 V to (VDD) +0.25 V without damage or upset. The CMPnMX register selects the inputs for the associated comparator. The
CMXP field selects the comparator’s positive input (CPnP.x) and the CMXN field selects the comparator’s negative input (CPnN.x).
Note: Any port pins selected as comparator inputs should be configured as analog inputs in their associated port configuration register,
and configured to be skipped by the crossbar.

Comparators (CMP0 and CMP1)
13.3.3.2 Reference DAC
The comparator module includes a dedicated reference DAC, which can be inserted between the selected mux channel and the comparator on either the positive or negative inputs. The INSL field in the CMPnMD register determines the connections between the selected mux inputs, the reference DAC, and the comparator inputs. There are four possible configurations.
When INSL is configured for direct input connection, the comparator mux channels are directly connected to the comparator inputs. The
reference DAC is not used in this configuration.

13.3.4 Output Routing
The comparator’s synchronous and asynchronous outputs can optionally be routed to port I/O pins through the port I/O crossbar. The
output of either comparator may be configured to generate a system interrupt on rising, falling, or both edges. CMP0 may also be used
as a reset source or as a trigger to kill a PCA output channel.
The output state of the comparator can be obtained at any time by reading the CPOUT bit. The comparator is enabled by setting the
CPEN bit to logic 1, and is disabled by clearing this bit to logic 0. When disabled, the comparator output (if assigned to a port I/O pin via
the crossbar) defaults to the logic low state, and the power supply to the comparator is turned off.
Comparator interrupts can be generated on both rising-edge and falling-edge output transitions. The CPFIF flag is set to logic 1 upon a
comparator falling-edge occurrence, and the CPRIF flag is set to logic 1 upon the comparator rising-edge occurrence. Once set, these
bits remain set until cleared by software. The comparator rising-edge interrupt mask is enabled by setting CPRIE to a logic 1. The comparator falling-edge interrupt mask is enabled by setting CPFIE to a logic 1.
False rising edges and falling edges may be detected when the comparator is first powered on or if changes are made to the hysteresis
or response time control bits. Therefore, it is recommended that the rising-edge and falling-edge flags be explicitly cleared to logic 0 a
short time after the comparator is enabled or its mode bits have been changed, before enabling comparator interrupts.
13.3.4.1 Output Inversion
The output state of the comparator may be inverted using the CPINV bit in register CMPnMD. When CPINV is 0, the output reflects the
non-inverted state: CPOUT will be 1 when CP+ > CP- and 0 when CP+ < CP-. When CPINV is set to 1, the output reflects the inverted
state: CPOUT will be 0 when CP+ > CP- and 1 when CP+ < CP-. Output inversion is applied directly at the comparator module output
and affects the signal anywhere else it is used in the system.

13.3.4.2 Output Inhibit
The comparator module includes a feature to inhibit output changes whenever the PCA's CEX2 channel is logic low. This can be used
to prevent undersirable glitches during known noise events, such as power FET switching. The CPINH bit in register CMPnCN1 enables this option. When CPINH is set to 1, the comparator output will hold its current state any time the CEX2 channel is logic low.

14. Configurable Logic Units (CLU0, CLU1, CLU2, CLU3)
14.1 Introduction
The configurable logic (CL) module provides multiple blocks of user-programmed digital logic that operates without CPU intervention. It
consists of four dedicated independent configurable logic units (CLUs) which support user programmable asynchronous and synchronous boolean logic operations. A number of internal and external signals may be used as inputs to each CLU, and the outputs may be
routed out to port I/O pins or directly to select peripheral inputs.

14.2 Features
The key features of the Configurable Logic block are as follows:
• Four configurable logic units (CLUs), with direct-pin and internal logic connections
• Each unit supports 256 different combinatorial logic functions (AND, OR, XOR, muxing, etc.) and includes a clocked flip-flop for synchronous operations
• Units may be operated synchronously or asynchronously
• May be cascaded together to perform more complicated logic functions
• Can operate in conjunction with serial peripherals such as UART and SPI or timing peripherals such as timers and PCA channels
• Can be used to synchronize and trigger multiple on-chip resources (ADC, DAC, Timers, etc.)
• Asynchronous output may be used to wake from low-power states

14.3 Functional Description
14.3.1 Configuration Sequence
Firmware should configure the function select, mux inputs and output functionality before enabling individual CLUs. CLU initialization
consists of the following general steps:
1. Select the A and B inputs to the LUT in CLUnMX
2. Select the LUT function using CLUnFN
3. Configure the CLU via CLUnCF.
4. If the D flip-flop output is selected (OUTSEL=1) for the CLU, it is advised to also set RST=1 to reset the flop output to 0.
5. Setup any interrupt required in CLIE0. Falling and rising edge interrupts for each module are enabled using the CnFIE and CnRIE
bits, respectively.
6. Enable the CLU by setting the CnEN bit in CLEN0. Firmware may enable multiple CLUs at the same time by setting more than one
bit in CLEN0.
7. If direct pin output is required, firmware may enable the output by setting the OEN bit in CLUnCF
14.3.2 Input Multiplexer Selection
Each CLU has two primary logic inputs (A and B) and a carry input (C). The A and B inputs are selected by the MXA and MXB fields in
the CLUnMX register, and may be one of many different internal and external signals. When another CLU output is selected as an
input, the asynchronous output from that CLU is used, enabling more complex boolean logic functions to be implemented.
Note: When using timer overflow events as an input, the timer overflow event is a pulse which will be logic high for one SYSCLK cycle,
and logic low for the rest of the timer period.
The carry input, C, is the LUT output of the previous CLU. For example, the carry input on CLU1 is CLU0's LUT output. The carry input
for CLU0 is CLU3's LUT output.

14.3.3 Output Configuration
Each CLU presents an asynchronous and a synchronous (synchronized to SYSCLK) output to the system. The synchronous output
may be read by firmware at any time by reading the CLOUT0 register. CLU outputs may be derived directly from the LUT, or from a
latched D-type flip-flop output, as controlled by the OUTSEL bit in CLUnCF. When a CLU is disabled (CnEN in CLEN0 is 0), both of its
outputs will be held at logic 0.
The D flip-flop clock may be configured from one of four sources, selected by the CLKSEL field in CLUnCF. The flip-flop clock may
optionally be inverted, using the CLKINV bit. Each CLU has the following options for clocking its flip-flop:
• CARRY_IN: The carry (C) input from the previous CLU. The first CLU uses the carry from the last CLU.
• MXA_INPUT: The A input to the CLU, as defined by the MXA register field.
• SYSCLK: The system clock.
• ALTCLK: Timer 1 overflows for CLU0, Timer 2 overflows for CLU1, Timer 3 overflows for CLU2, and Timer 4 overflows for CLU3.
When using the D flip-flop output, the flip-flop may be reset to logic 0 at any time by writing 1 to the RST bit in CLUnCF. The output will
not be held in this reset state (RST returns to 0 after the reset occurs).
The CLU outputs may also be present on selected pins.
14.3.4 LUT Configuration
The boolean logic function in each CLU is determined by the LUT, and may be changed by programming the FNSEL field in register
CLUnFN. The LUT is implemented as an 8-input multiplexer. The bits of FNSEL map to the 8 multiplexer inputs, and the output of the
LUT is selected by the combination of the A, B, and C inputs.

It is possible to realize any 3-input boolean logic function using the LUT. To determine the value to be programmed into FNSEL for a
given logic function, the truth table in Table 14.3 LUT Truth Table on page 172 may be used. For example, to implement the boolean
function (A AND B), the LUT output should be 1 for any combination where A and B are 1, and 0 for all other combinations. The last two
rows in the table (corresponding to FNSEL.7 and FNSEL.6) meet this criteria, so FNSEL should be programmed to 11000000b, or
0xC0.
As a second example, if the function (A XOR B) is required, the rows corresponding to FNSEL.2, FNSEL.3, FNSEL.4 and FNSEL.5
would be logic 1, and logic 0 for FNSEL.0, FNSEL.1, FNSEL.6 and FNSEL.7. Therefore, FNSEL should be programmed to 00111100b,
or 0x3C to realize this function.

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC0)
15. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC0)
15.1 Introduction
The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) module performs a CRC using a 16-bit polynomial. CRC0 accepts a stream of 8-bit data and posts
the 16-bit result to an internal register. In addition to using the CRC block for data manipulation, hardware can automatically CRC the
flash contents of the device.

15.3 Functional Description
15.3.1 16-bit CRC Algorithm
The CRC unit generates a 16-bit CRC result equivalent to the following algorithm:
1. XOR the input with the most-significant bits of the current CRC result. If this is the first iteration of the CRC unit, the current CRC
result will be the set initial value (0x0000 or 0xFFFF).
2. If the MSB of the CRC result is set, shift the CRC result and XOR the result with the polynomial.
3. If the MSB of the CRC result is not set, shift the CRC result.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all 8 bits.
The algorithm is also described in the following example.
unsigned short UpdateCRC (unsigned short CRC_acc, unsigned char CRC_input)
{
unsigned char i; // loop counter
#define POLY 0x1021
// Create the CRC "dividend" for polynomial arithmetic (binary arithmetic
// with no carries)
CRC_acc = CRC_acc ^ (CRC_input << 8);
// "Divide" the poly into the dividend using CRC XOR subtraction
// CRC_acc holds the "remainder" of each divide
//
// Only complete this division for 8 bits since input is 1 byte
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
// Check if the MSB is set (if MSB is 1, then the POLY can "divide"
// into the "dividend")
if ((CRC_acc & 0x8000) == 0x8000)
{
// if so, shift the CRC value, and XOR "subtract" the poly
CRC_acc = CRC_acc << 1;
CRC_acc ^= POLY;
}
else
{
// if not, just shift the CRC value
CRC_acc = CRC_acc << 1;
}
}
// Return the final remainder (CRC value)
return CRC_acc;
}
The following table lists several input values and the associated outputs using the 16-bit CRC algorithm:

Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC0)
15.3.2 Using the CRC on a Data Stream
The CRC module may be used to perform CRC calculations on any data set available to the firmware. To perform a CRC on an arbitrary data sream:
1. Select the initial result value using CRCVAL.
2. Set the result to its initial value (write 1 to CRCINIT).
3. Write the data to CRC0IN one byte at a time. The CRC result registers are automatically updated after each byte is written.
4. Write the CRCPNT bit to 0 to target the low byte of the result.
5. Read CRC0DAT multiple times to access each byte of the CRC result. CRCPNT will automatically point to the next value after
each read.
15.3.3 Using the CRC to Check Code Memory
The CRC module may be configured to automatically perform a CRC on one or more blocks of code memory. To perform a CRC on
code contents:
1. Select the initial result value using CRCVAL.
2. Set the result to its initial value (write 1 to CRCINIT).
3. Write the high byte of the starting address to the CRCST bit field.
4. Set the AUTOEN bit to 1.
5. Write the number of byte blocks to perform in the CRC calculation to CRCCNT.
6. Write any value to CRC0CN0 (or OR its contents with 0x00) to initiate the CRC calculation. The CPU will not execute code any
additional code until the CRC operation completes.
Note: Upon initiation of an automatic CRC calculation, the three cycles following a write to CRC0CN0 that initiate a CRC operation
must only contain instructions which execute in the same number of cycles as the number of bytes in the instruction. An example of
such an instruction is a 3-byte MOV that targets the CRC0FLIP register. When programming in C, the dummy value written to
CRC0FLIP should be a non-zero value to prevent the compiler from generating a 2-byte MOV instruction.
7. Clear the AUTOEN.
8. Write the CRCPNT bit to 0 to target the low byte of the result.
9. Read CRC0DAT multiple times to access each byte of the CRC result. CRCPNT will automatically point to the next value after
each read.
15.3.4 Bit Reversal
CRC0 includes hardware to reverse the bit order of each bit in a byte. Writing a byte to CRC0FLIP initiates the bit reversal operation,
and the result may be read back from CRC0FLIP on the next instruction. For example, if 0xC0 is written to CRC0FLIP, the data read
back is 0x03. Bit reversal can be used to change the order of information passing through the CRC engine and is also used in algorithms such as FFT.

Digital to Analog Converters (DAC0, DAC1, DAC2, DAC3)
16. Digital to Analog Converters (DAC0, DAC1, DAC2, DAC3)
16.1 Introduction
Up to four 12-bit voltage-output DACs are included. The DACs are fully static, requiring no clocking to maintain their output voltage. The
DAC outputs may be updated by a variety of hardware and firmware trigger sources. The DAC output buffers are capable of producing
near rail-to-rail output voltages when driving high load resistances, and they can accommodate load resistances as low as 1 kΩ across
a narrower output voltage range. Each DAC may be configured to maintain its output state during a system reset.
The DACs are arranged in two identical pairs, with DAC0 and DAC1 comprising one pair and DAC2 and DAC3 comprising the other.
The two DACs within a pair share the same reference buffer but are otherwise independent, with individual data inputs, trigger sources,
and driver gains. The DAC pairs include special modes which link the two DACs together, enabling features such as complementary
output waveform generation and resolution-enhancing interpolation to be performed in hardware.

16.3 Functional Description
16.3.1 Enabling the DACs
Each of the DACs has an enable bit (bit EN in register DACnCF0) which turns on the DAC and allows its output buffer to drive its respective pin. The enable bit only affects the analog circuitry and pin interface associated with the DAC; the registers may be accessed
by firmware even if the associated DAC is disabled. In the paired operating modes, the second DAC of the pair can make use of both
DACs data registers while the first DAC is left disabled.
By default, any system reset will disable the DACs and reset all associated registers. By setting the Reset Mode bit (RSTMD) in register
DACnCF0, the output of the DAC will persist through any system reset except for a power-on reset.
16.3.2 Reference and Output Configuration
The full-scale output voltage of each DAC is determined by the reference voltage, the gain of the reference buffer, and the gain of the
output driver. The overall gain of the DAC is the full-scale output voltage divided by the reference voltage. In most cases this overall
gain will be unity, but other gain values are possible with appropriate choice of reference voltage and register settings.
16.3.2.1 Reference Selection
Each DAC pair is supplied by a voltage reference buffer having selectable input sources. The DAC01REFSL bit selects the reference
input source for DAC0 and DAC1, and the DAC23REFSL bit in DACGCF0 selects the reference input source for DAC2 and DAC3. The
input source may be the VDD supply or the VREF pin. The VREF pin may be driven from an external reference or from the internal
Precision Reference (VREF0), which can provide references of 1.2V or 2.4V. Details on the available options for driving the VREF pin
may be found in the Precision Reference chapter.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Digital to Analog Converters (DAC0, DAC1, DAC2, DAC3)
16.3.2.2 Reference and Output Buffer Gains
For best operation, the DACs require reference buffer output voltages between 0.6V and 1.2V. The reference buffers each have three
programmable attenuation values that allow a wide range of reference voltages to map to this range of output voltages. The attenuation
value for the DAC0 and DAC1 reference buffer is selected by the D01REFGN field in DACGCF2, while the value for the DAC2 and
DAC3 reference buffer is selected by the D23REFGN field in DACGCF2.
The DAC output buffers each have three programmable gain values that are the reciprocals of the three reference buffer attenuation
values, meaning that an overall gain of unity may be programmed with any of the reference buffer attenuation settings. The output buffer gain for DACn is selected using the DRVGAIN field in the DACnCF1 register. Non-unity gain values may also be realized by programming the buffer and reference gains to values which are not reciprocals of one another. Note that the minimum and maximum DAC
output voltages are limited by the supply rails.
Table 16.1 DAC Reference and Gain Settings on page 193 provides a summary of the reference voltage ranges, reference buffer attenuation settings, output buffer gain settings, and the resulting overall gain.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Digital to Analog Converters (DAC0, DAC1, DAC2, DAC3)
16.3.3 Input Data and Update Triggers
Each DAC includes a low byte data register (DACnL) and a high byte data register (DACnH). By default, the 12 data bits are rightjustified, meaning that the four MSBs are located in the lower four bits of DACnH and the eight LSBs are located in DACnL. By setting
the LJST bit in the DACnCF0 register, the input data is left-justified, meaning that the eight MSBs are in DACnH and the four LSBs are
in the upper four bits of DACnL. When updating the DACn input, DACnL must always be written first. Writing to DACnL will inhibit trigger events in order to prevent a DAC update when only part of the data is present. A write to DACnH will uninhibit trigger events and
allow an update.
Each DAC may be updated by a variety of trigger sources specified in the UPDATE field in register DACnCF0. The trigger source options are the same for all of the DACs, but the trigger source for each DAC is specified independently. A trigger source of SYSCLK
means that the DACn output will update on the SYSCLK cycle following a write to DACnH. Other trigger source options are the high
byte overflows of TIMER3, TIMER4, and TIMER5, and a rising edge on the output of any of the four Configurable Logic Units.
The DACGCF1 register provides additional control over the updating of the DAC outputs. This register includes four DACn Update Disable (DnUDIS) bits that can independently disable all update triggers for each of the four DACs. These bits allow firmware to update
two or more DAC outputs on the same clock edge without configuring timers or Configurable Logic Units to perform the triggering. Firmware can set DnUDIS bits to disable DAC updates, write values to multiple DAC input data registers, and then update all of the DAC
outputs on the same clock edge by clearing the appropriate DnUDIS bits.
16.3.4 Paired Operating Modes
The DACGCF0 register includes bits that allow alternate sources for the input data applied to DAC1. The DAC1 Data Source field
(D1SRC) allows four different data sources for DAC1: the data in DAC1H:DAC1L (the default), the one’s complement of the value in
DAC1H:DAC1L, the data in DAC0H:DAC0L, and the one’s complement of the value in DAC0H:DAC0L. This allows firmware to program
DAC0H:DAC0L and see the value reflected on the DAC0 and DAC1 outputs, with DAC1 producing either the same voltage as DAC0 or
its complement. The DAC3 Data Source field (D3SRC) operates in a similar fashion with DAC2 and DAC3.
The DAC1 Alternating Mode Enable bit (D1AMEN) provides additional options for generating DAC1 input data. When D1AMEN is
cleared, DAC1 always updates from the data source selected by the D1SRC field. When D1AMEN is set, the data source is determined
by the logic state of the DAC1 trigger source. When the DAC1 trigger is logic low, then DAC1 uses the data in DAC1H:DAC1L. When
the DAC1 trigger is logic high, DAC1 uses the data source specified by D1SRC. When using the Alternating Mode feature, the trigger
source must be one of the Configurable Logic Units, and the minimum high and low times for this trigger must be at least two system
clock cycles. The DAC3 Alternating Mode Enable bit (D3AMEN) operates in a similar fashion with DAC3.
Because of the highly flexible nature of trigger signals provided by the Configurable Logic module, the Alternating Mode feature may be
used to create a wide variety of different waveforms. For example, the DAC0 and DAC1 data registers may be written with adjacent
digital values, and an 8-bit PWM signal from PCA0 may be routed through a Configurable Logic unit to serve as the trigger source for
DAC1. With this configuration, the DAC1 output voltage will assume an average value representing an interpolation between the two
adjacent digital values, thus extending the resolution of the DAC to a theoretical 20 bits. In another example, the DAC0 and DAC1 data
registers may be written with digital values representing high and low logic levels, and the serial output of a digital peripheral (e.g. a
UART or SMBus/I2C) may be routed through the Configurable Logic module to the DAC1 trigger so that DAC1 reproduces the serial
output with arbitrary, programmable high and low levels. Note that in many cases utilizing the Alternating Mode the first DAC in the pair
(DAC0 or DAC2) should be left disabled, since the desired output is produced by the second DAC in the pair.

I2C Slave (I2CSLAVE0)
17. I2C Slave (I2CSLAVE0)
17.1 Introduction
The I2C Slave interface is a 2-wire, bidirectional serial bus that is compatible with the I2C Bus Specification 3.0. It is capable of transferring in high-speed mode (HS-mode) at speeds of up to 3.4 Mbps. Firmware can write to the I2C interface, and the I2C interface can
autonomously control the serial transfer of data. The interface also supports clock stretching for cases where the core may be temporarily prohibited from transmitting a byte or processing a received byte during an I2C transaction. It can also operate in low power modes
without an active system clock and wake the core when a matching slave address is received.
This module operates only as an I2C slave device. The I2C Slave peripheral provides control of the SCL (serial clock) synchronization,
SDA (serial data), SCL clock stretching, I2C arbitration logic, and low power mode operation.

17.3 Functional Description
17.3.1 Overview
The I2C Slave module operates only in slave mode. The hardware provides timing and shifting control for serial transfers; the higher
level protocol is determined by user software. The I2C hardware interface provides the following application-independent features:
• Byte-wise serial data transfers
• SDA data synchronization
• Timeout recognition, as defined by the I2C0CNTL configuration register
• START/STOP detection
• Interrupt generation
• Status information
• High-speed I2C mode detection
• Automatic wakeup from lower power modes when a matching slave address is received
• Hardware recognition of the slave address and automatic acknowledgment of address/data
An I2CSLAVE0 interrupt is generated when the RD, WR or STOP bit is set in the I2C0STAT register. It is also generated when the
ACTIVE bit goes low to indicate the end of an I2C bus transfer. Refer to the I2C0STAT register definition for complete details on the
conditions for the setting and clearing of these bits.
17.3.2 I2C Protocol
The I2C specification allows any recessive voltage between 3.0 and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage
levels. However, the maximum voltage on any port pin must conform to the electrical characteristics specifications. The bi-directional
SCL (serial clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage through a pullup resistor or similar
circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-drain or open-collector output for both the SCL and SDA lines, so that
both are pulled high (recessive state) when the bus is free.

Figure 17.2. Typical I2C System Connection
Two types of data transfers are possible: data transfers from a master transmitter to an addressed slave receiver (WRITE) and data
transfers from an addressed slave transmitter to a master receiver (READ). The master device initiates both types of data transfers and
provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. The I2C interface may operate as a master or a slave, and multiple master devices on the
same bus are supported. If two or more masters attempt to initiate a data transfer simultaneously, an arbitration scheme is employed
with a single master always winning the arbitration. It is not necessary to specify one device as the Master in a system; any device who
transmits a START and a slave address becomes the master for the duration of that transfer.
A typical I2C transaction consists of a START condition followed by an address byte (Bits 7–1: 7-bit slave address; Bit 0: R/W direction
bit), one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Bytes that are received (by a master or slave) are acknowledged (ACK) with a
low SDA during a high SCL (see Figure 17.3 I2C Transaction on page 213). If the receiving device does not ACK, the transmitting
device will read a NACK (not acknowledge), which is a high SDA during a high SCL.
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set to logic 1 to indicate a
"READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The master generates the START
condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the transaction is a WRITE operation from the master to the slave,
the master transmits the data a byte at a time waiting for an ACK from the slave at the end of each byte. For READ operations, the
slave transmits the data waiting for an ACK from the master at the end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the master generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction and free the bus. Figure 17.3 I2C Transaction on page 213 illustrates a typical I2C
transaction.

Transmitter vs. Receiver
On the I2C communications interface, a device is the “transmitter” when it is sending an address or data byte to another device on the
bus. A device is a “receiver” when an address or data byte is being sent to it from another device on the bus. The transmitter controls
the SDA line during the address or data byte. After each byte of address or data information is sent by the transmitter, the receiver
sends an ACK or NACK bit during the ACK phase of the transfer, during which time the receiver controls the SDA line.

I2C Slave (I2CSLAVE0)
Arbitration
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is free. The bus is free after a STOP condition or after the SCL and SDA lines remain high
for a specified time (see ). In the event that two or more devices attempt to begin a transfer at the same time, an arbitration scheme is
employed to force one master to give up the bus. The master devices continue transmitting until one attempts a HIGH while the other
transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-drain, the bus will be pulled LOW. The master attempting the HIGH will detect a LOW SDA and
lose the arbitration. The winning master continues its transmission without interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and receives
the rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration scheme is non-destructive: one device always wins, and no data is lost.
Clock Low Extension
I2C provides a clock synchronization mechanism which allows devices with different speed capabilities to coexist on the bus. A clocklow extension is used during a transfer in order to allow slower slave devices to communicate with faster masters. The slave may temporarily hold the SCL line LOW to extend the clock low period, effectively decreasing the serial clock frequency.
In the I2C Slave peripheral, clock stretching is only performed on the SCL falling edge associated with the ACK or NACK bit. Clock
stretching is always performed on every byte transaction that is addressed to the peripheral. Clock stretching is completed by the
I2CSLAVE0 peripheral when it releases the SCL line from the low state. The I2CSLAVE0 peripheral releases the SCL line when firmware writes a 0 to the I2C0INT bit in the I2C0STAT register.
SCL Low Timeout
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore, the master cannot force the
SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the I2C protocol specifies that devices participating in a transfer must
detect any clock cycle held low longer than 25 ms as a “timeout” condition. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset
the communication no later than 10 ms after detecting the timeout condition.
For the I2C Slave interface, an on-chip timer is used to implement SCL low timeouts. The SCL low timeout feature is enabled by setting
the TIMEOUT bit in I2C0CN0. The associated timer is forced to reload when SCL is high, and allowed to count when SCL is low. With
the associated timer enabled and configured to overflow after 25 ms (and TIMEOUT set), the timer interrupt service routine can be used
to reset (disable and re-enable) the I2C module in the event of an SCL low timeout.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
I2C Slave (I2CSLAVE0)
High-Speed Mode
The I2C specification supports High-speed mode (HS-mode) transfers, which allow devices to transfer data at rates of up to 3.4 Mbps
and remain fully downward compatible with slower speed devices. This allows HS-mode devices to operate in a mixed-speed bus system. Refer to the I2C Specification for details on the electrical and timing requirements for HS-mode operation. The I2CSLAVE0 peripheral is compatible with the I2C HS-mode operation without any firmware intervention other than requiring that firmware enable the
I2CSLAVE0 peripheral.
By default, the I2C bus operates at speeds of up to Fast-mode (F/S mode) only, where the maximum transfer rate is 400 kbps. The I2C
bus switches to from F/S mode to HS-mode only after the following sequence of bits appear on the I2C bus:
1. START bit (S)
2. 8-bit master code (0000 1XXX)
3. NACK bit (N)
The HS-mode master codes are reserved 8-bit codes which are not used for slave addressing or other purposes. An HS-mode compatible I2C master device will switch the I2C bus to HS-mode by transmitting the above sequence of bits on the I2C bus at a transfer rate of
not more than 400 kbps. After that, the master can switch to HS-mode to transfer data at a rate of up to 3.4 Mbps. The I2C bus
switches back to F/S mode when the I2C master transmits a STOP bit.

17.3.3 Automatic Address Recognition
The I2CSLAVE0 peripheral can be configured to recognize a specific slave address and respond with an ACK without any software
intervention. This feature is enabled by firmware:
1. Clear BUSY bit in I2C0CNTL to enable automatic ACK response.
2. Write the slave address to I2C0SLAD.
3. Set the I2C0SEL bit in I2C0CNTL to 1 to enable the SCL and SDA pins.
4. Set the I2C0EN bit in I2C0CNTL to 1 to enable the I2CSLAVE0 peripheral.
The Slave Address Mask (SLVM in the I2C0ADM register) can be used to define an address mask to enable automatic hardware response to multiple slave addresses. Additionally, if the ADDRCHK bit is set in the I2C0CN0 register, the matching address will be
placed in the receive FIFO, allowing firmware to check which address was used to initiate the transaction. In this case, firmware should
read the address from the receive FIFO using the I2C0DIN register before proceeding with the data transfer.

17.3.4 Operational Modes
The I2C Slave peripheral supports two types of data transfers: I2C Read data transfers where data is transferred from the I2C Slave
peripheral to an I2C master, and I2C Write data transfers where data is transferred from an I2C master to the I2C Slave peripheral. The
I2C master initiates both types of data transfers and provides the serial clock pulses that the I2C slave peripheral detects on the SCL
pin. This section describes in detail the setting and clearing of various status bits in the I2C0STAT register during different modes of
operations. In all modes, the I2CSLAVE0 peripheral performs clock stretching automatically on every SCL falling edge associated with
the ACK or NACK bit.

I2C Write Sequence
The I2C Write sequence with the I2C Slave peripheral consists of a series of interrupts and required actions in each interrupt. The write
sequence consists of the following steps:
1. An incoming START and Address + W byte causes the peripheral to exit idle mode or wakes the device from a low power state.
The peripheral will automatically ACK a matching address if BUSY is cleared to 0.
2. An interrupt occurs after the automatic ACK of the address. The I2C peripheral holds the SCL line low for clock streching until firmware clears I2C0INT. Firmware should take the actions indicated by Figure 17.6 I2C Write Flow Diagram with the I2C Slave Peripheral on page 218.
3. Firmware reads one or more bytes of data from the master on each subsequent data interrupt, acknowledging (ACK) or non-acknowledging (NACK) the data.
4. The master sends a STOP when the entire data transfer completes.
Figure 17.5 Example I2C Write Sequence with the I2C Slave Peripheral on page 217 demonstrates an example sequence, including a
repeated start, and Figure 17.6 I2C Write Flow Diagram with the I2C Slave Peripheral on page 218 describes the I2C Write sequence
and firmware actions in each interrupt.

I2C Read Sequence
The I2C Read sequence with the I2C Slave peripheral consists of a series of interrupts and required actions in each interrupt. The read
sequence consists of the following steps:
1. An incoming START and Address + R byte causes the peripheral to exit idle mode or wakes the device from a low power state.
The peripheral will automatically ACK a matching address if BUSY is cleared to 0.
2. An interrupt occurs after the automatic ACK of the address. The I2C peripheral holds the SCL line low for clock streching until firmware clears I2C0INT. Firmware should read the data from the master and take the actions indicated by Figure 17.8 I2C Read Flow
Diagram with the I2C Slave Peripheral on page 220.
3. Firmware writes one or more bytes of data to the master on each subsequent data interrupt.
4. The master sends a NACKwhen the current data transfer completes and either a repeated START or STOP.
5. The master sends a STOP when the entire data transfer completes.

17.3.5 Status Decoding
The current I2C status can be easily decoded using the I2C0STAT register. Table 17.1 I2C Status Decoding on page 221 describes
the typical actions firmware should take in each state. In the tables, STATUS VECTOR refers to the lower five bits of I2C0STAT: NACK,
START, STOP, WR, and RD. The shown response options are only the typical responses; application-specific procedures are allowed
as long as they conform to the I2C specification.
Note: Interrupts from multiple sources (STOP, START, RD, WR, etc.) can accumulate, so the actual status vector may have additional
conditions set and not match the value in the table below. In these cases, the order of operations should be:
1. Service the STOP bit.
2. Service the START bit.
3. Service the START + RD or START + WR bits.
4. Service the RD or WR bits.

Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)
18. Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)
18.1 Introduction
The programmable counter array (PCA) provides multiple channels of enhanced timer and PWM functionality while requiring less CPU
intervention than standard counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer and one 16-bit capture/compare module for each channel. The counter/timer is driven by a programmable timebase that has flexible external and internal clocking options.
Each capture/compare module may be configured to operate independently in one of five modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software
Timer, High-Speed Output, Frequency Output, or Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) Output. Each capture/compare module has its own
associated I/O line (CEXn) which is routed through the crossbar to port I/O when enabled.

18.3 Functional Description
18.3.1 Counter / Timer
The 16-bit PCA counter/timer consists of two 8-bit SFRs: PCA0L and PCA0H. PCA0H is the high byte of the 16-bit counter/timer and
PCA0L is the low byte. Reading PCA0L automatically latches the value of PCA0H into a “snapshot” register; the following PCA0H read
accesses this “snapshot” register.
Note: Reading the PCA0L Register first guarantees an accurate reading of the entire 16-bit PCA0 counter.
Reading PCA0H or PCA0L does not disturb the counter operation. The CPS2–CPS0 bits in the PCA0MD register select the timebase
for the counter/timer.
When the counter/timer overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the Counter Overflow Flag (CF) in PCA0MD is set to logic 1 and an interrupt
request is generated if CF interrupts are enabled. Setting the ECF bit in PCA0MD to logic 1 enables the CF flag to generate an interrupt
request. The CF bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine and must be cleared
by software. Clearing the CIDL bit in the PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue normal operation while the CPU is in Idle mode.

18.3.2 Interrupt Sources
The PCA0 module shares one interrupt vector among all of its modules. There are are several event flags that can be used to generate
a PCA0 interrupt. They are as follows: the main PCA counter overflow flag (CF), which is set upon a 16-bit overflow of the PCA0 counter; an intermediate overflow flag (COVF), which can be set on an overflow from the 8th–11th bit of the PCA0 counter; and the individual flags for each PCA channel (CCFn), which are set according to the operation mode of that module. These event flags are always set
when the trigger condition occurs. Each of these flags can be individually selected to generate a PCA0 interrupt using the corresponding interrupt enable flag (ECF for CF, ECOV for COVF, and ECCFn for each CCFn). PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before
any individual interrupt sources are recognized by the processor. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by setting the EA bit and the
EPCA0 bit to logic 1.

18.3.3 Capture/Compare Modules
Each module can be configured to operate independently in one of six operation modes: edge-triggered capture, software timer, highspeed output, frequency output, 8 to 11-bit pulse width modulator, or 16-bit pulse width modulator. Table 18.2 PCA0CPM and
PCA0PWM Bit Settings for PCA Capture/Compare Modules on page 231 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn and
PCA0PWM registers used to select the PCA capture/compare module’s operating mode. All modules set to use 8-, 9-, 10-, or 11-bit
PWM mode must use the same cycle length (8–11 bits). Setting the ECCFn bit in a PCA0CPMn register enables the module's CCFn
interrupt.

Notes:
1. X = Don’t Care (no functional difference for individual module if 1 or 0).
2. A = Enable interrupts for this module (PCA interrupt triggered on CCFn set to 1).
3. B = Enable 8th–11th bit overflow interrupt (Depends on setting of CLSEL).
4. C = When set to 0, the digital comparator is off. For high speed and frequency output modes, the associated pin will not toggle. In
any of the PWM modes, this generates a 0% duty cycle (output = 0).
5. D = Selects whether the Capture/Compare register (0) or the Auto-Reload register (1) for the associated channel is accessed via
addresses PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn.
6. E = When set, a match event will cause the CCFn flag for the associated channel to be set.
7. All modules set to 8, 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode use the same cycle length setting.
18.3.3.1 Output Polarity
The output polarity of each PCA channel is individually selectable using the PCA0POL register. By default, all output channels are configured to drive the PCA output signals (CEXn) with their internal polarity. When the CEXnPOL bit for a specific channel is set to 1, that
channel’s output signal will be inverted at the pin. All other properties of the channel are unaffected, and the inversion does not apply to
PCA input signals. Changes in the PCA0POL register take effect immediately at the associated output pin.

18.3.4 Edge-Triggered Capture Mode
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes the PCA to capture the value of the PCA counter/timer and load it into the
corresponding module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPLn and PCA0CPHn). The CAPPn and CAPNn bits in the PCA0CPMn
register are used to select the type of transition that triggers the capture: low-to-high transition (positive edge), high-to-low transition
(negative edge), or either transition (positive or negative edge). When a capture occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in
PCA0CN0 is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by software. If both CAPPn
and CAPNn bits are set to logic 1, then the state of the port pin associated with CEXn can be read directly to determine whether a
rising-edge or falling-edge caused the capture.

18.3.5 Software Timer (Compare) Mode
In Software Timer mode, the PCA counter/timer value is compared to the module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPHn and
PCA0CPLn). When a match occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in PCA0CN0 is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated
if the CCFn interrupt for that module is enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the
interrupt service routine, and it must be cleared by software. Setting the ECOMn and MATn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables
Software Timer mode.
Note: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to
PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

18.3.6 High-Speed Output Mode
In High-Speed Output mode, a module’s associated CEXn pin is toggled each time a match occurs between the PCA Counter and the
module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn). When a match occurs, the capture/compare flag (CCFn) in
PCA0CN0 is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine. It must be cleared by software. Setting the TOGn,
MATn, and ECOMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables the High-Speed Output mode. If ECOMn is cleared, the associated pin
retains its state and not toggle on the next match event.
Note: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to
PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

18.3.7 Frequency Output Mode
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s associated CEXn pin. The capture/
compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the output is toggled. The frequency of the square wave is
then defined as follows:
F CEXn =
F PCA
2 × PCA0CPHn
Note: A value of 0x00 in the PCA0CPHn register is equal to 256 for this equation.
Where FPCA is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS2–0 bits in the PCA mode register PCA0MD. The lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA counter low byte; on a match, n is toggled and the offset held in the high byte is added to
the matched value in PCA0CPLn. Frequency Output Mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, TOGn, and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn
register.
Note: The MATn bit should normally be set to 0 in this mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the channel will be set when
the 16-bit PCA0 counter and the 16-bit capture/compare register for the channel are equal.

18.3.8 PWM Waveform Generation
The PCA can generate edge- or center-aligned PWM waveforms with resolutions of 8, 9, 10, 11, or 16 bits. PWM resolution depends on
the module setup, as specified within the individual module PCA0CPMn registers as well as the PCA0PWM register. Modules can be
configured for 8-11 bit mode or for 16-bit mode individually using the PCA0CPMn registers. All modules configured for 8-11 bit mode
have the same resolution, specified by the PCA0PWM register. When operating in one of the PWM modes, each module may be individually configured for center or edge-aligned PWM waveforms. Each channel has a single bit in the PCA0CENT register to select between the two options.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)
Edge Aligned PWM
When configured for edge-aligned mode, a module generates an edge transition at two points for every 2N PCA clock cycles, where N
is the selected PWM resolution in bits. In edge-aligned mode, these two edges are referred to as the “match” and “overflow” edges. The
polarity at the output pin is selectable and can be inverted by setting the appropriate channel bit to 1 in the PCA0POL register. Prior to
inversion, a match edge sets the channel to logic high, and an overflow edge clears the channel to logic low.
The match edge occurs when the the lowest N bits of the module’s PCA0CPn register match the corresponding bits of the main PCA0
counter register. For example, with 10-bit PWM, the match edge occurs any time bits 9-0 of the PCA0CPn register match bits 9-0 of the
PCA0 counter value.
The overflow edge occurs when an overflow of the PCA0 counter happens at the desired resolution. For example, with 10-bit PWM, the
overflow edge occurs when bits 0-9 of the PCA0 counter transition from all 1s to all 0s. All modules configured for edge-aligned mode at
the same resolution align on the overflow edge of the waveforms.
An example of the PWM timing in edge-aligned mode for two channels is shown here. In this example, the CEX0POL and CEX1POL
bits are cleared to 0.

For a given PCA resolution, the unused high bits in the PCA0 counter and the PCA0CPn compare registers are ignored, and only the
used bits of the PCA0CPn register determine the duty cycle. Figure 18.7 N-bit Edge-Aligned PWM Duty Cycle With CEXnPOL = 0 (N =
PWM resolution) on page 236describes the duty cycle when CEXnPOL in the PCA0POL regsiter is cleared to 0. Figure 18.8 N-bit
Edge-Aligned PWM Duty Cycle With CEXnPOL = 1 (N = PWM resolution) on page 237 describes the duty cycle when CEXnPOL in the
PCA0POL regsiter is set to 1. A 0% duty cycle for the channel (with CEXnPOL = 0) is achieved by clearing the module’s ECOM bit to 0.
This will disable the comparison, and prevent the match edge from occuring.
Note: Although the PCA0CPn compare register determines the duty cycle, it is not always appropriate for firmware to update this register directly. See the sections on 8 to 11-bit and 16-bit PWM mode for additional details on adjusting duty cycle in the various modes.

Center Aligned PWM
When configured for center-aligned mode, a module generates an edge transition at two points for every 2(N+1) PCA clock cycles,
where N is the selected PWM resolution in bits. In center-aligned mode, these two edges are referred to as the “up” and “down” edges.
The polarity at the output pin is selectable and can be inverted by setting the appropriate channel bit to 1 in the PCA0POL register.
The generated waveforms are centered about the points where the lower N bits of the PCA0 counter are zero. The (N+1)th bit in the
PCA0 counter acts as a selection between up and down edges. In 16-bit mode, a special 17th bit is implemented internally for this
purpose. At the center point, the (non-inverted) channel output is low when the (N+1)th bit is 0 and high when the (N+1)th bit is 1, except
for cases of 0% and 100% duty cycle. Prior to inversion, an up edge sets the channel to logic high, and a down edge clears the channel
to logic low.
Down edges occur when the (N+1)th bit in the PCA0 counter is one and a logical inversion of the value in the module’s PCA0CPn register matches the main PCA0 counter register for the lowest N bits. For example, with 10-bit PWM, the down edge occurs when the one’s
complement of bits 9-0 of the PCA0CPn register match bits 9-0 of the PCA0 counter and bit 10 of the PCA0 counter is 1.
Up edges occur when the (N+1)th bit in the PCA0 counter is zero and the lowest N bits of the module’s PCA0CPn register match the
value of (PCA0 - 1). For example, with 10-bit PWM, the up edge occurs when bits 9-0 of the PCA0CPn register are one less than bits
9-0 of the PCA0 counter and bit 10 of the PCA0 counter is 0.
An example of the PWM timing in center-aligned mode for two channels is shown here. In this example, the CEX0POL and CEX1POL
bits are cleared to 0.

Figure 18.10 N-bit Center-Aligned PWM Duty Cycle With CEXnPOL = 0 (N = PWM resolution) on page 239 describes the duty cycle

only when the lowest N bits of the PCA0CPn register are not all 0s or all 1s. With CEXnPOL equal to zero, 100% duty cycle is produced
when the lowest N bits of PCA0CPn are all 0, and 0% duty cycle is produced when the lowest N bits of PCA0CPn are all 1. For a given
PCA resolution, the unused high bits in the PCA0 counter and the PCA0CPn compare registers are ignored, and only the used bits of

18.3.8.1 8 to 11-Bit PWM Modes
Each module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its associated CEXn pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA counter/timer and the setting of the PWM cycle length (8 through 11-bits).
For backwards-compatibility with the 8-bit PWM mode available on other devices, the 8-bit PWM mode operates slightly different than 9
through 11-bit PWM modes.
Important: All channels configured for 8 to 11-bit PWM mode use the same cycle length. It is not possible to configure one channel for
8-bit PWM mode and another for 11-bit mode (for example). However, other PCA channels can be configured to Pin Capture, HighSpeed Output, Software Timer, Frequency Output, or 16-bit PWM mode independently. Each channel configured for a PWM mode can
be individually selected to operate in edge-aligned or center-aligned mode.
8-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode
In 8-bit PWM mode, the duty cycle is determined by the value of the low byte of the PCA0CPn register (PCA0CPLn). To adjust the duty
cycle, PCA0CPLn should not normally be written directly. Instead, the recommendation is to adjust the duty cycle using the high byte of
the PCA0CPn register (register PCA0CPHn). This allows seamless updating of the PWM waveform as PCA0CPLn is reloaded automatically with the value stored in PCA0CPHn during the overflow edge (in edge-aligned mode) or the up edge (in center-aligned mode).
Setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to 00b enables 8-Bit
pulse width modulator mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module is set each time a match edge or up edge occurs.
The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow (falling edge), which occurs every 256 PCA clock cycles.
9- to 11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode
In 9 to 11-bit PWM mode, the duty cycle is determined by the value of the least significant N bits of the PCA0CPn register, where N is
the selected PWM resolution.
To adjust the duty cycle, PCA0CPn should not normally be written directly. Instead, the recommendation is to adjust the duty cycle by
writing to an “Auto-Reload” register, which is dual-mapped into the PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn register locations. The data written to
define the duty cycle should be right-justified in the registers. The auto-reload registers are accessed (read or written) when the bit ARSEL in PCA0PWM is set to 1. The capture/compare registers are accessed when ARSEL is set to 0. This allows seamless updating of
the PWM waveform, as the PCA0CPn register is reloaded automatically with the value stored in the auto-reload registers during the
overflow edge (in edge-aligned mode) or the up edge (in center-aligned mode).
Setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to 00b enables 8-Bit
pulse width modulator mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module is set each time a match edge or up edge occurs.
The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow or down edge.
The 9 to 11-bit PWM mode is selected by setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register and setting the CLSEL bits in
register PCA0PWM to the desired cycle length (other than 8-bits). If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module is set each
time a match edge or up edge occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow or down edge.
Important: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0CPn registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn
clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

18.3.8.2 16-Bit PWM Mode
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. 16-bit PWM mode is independent of the other PWM modes. The entire
PCA0CP register is used to determine the duty cycle in 16-bit PWM mode.
To output a varying duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with the PCA CCFn match flag to ensure seamless updates.
16-Bit PWM mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a varying duty cycle,
the match interrupt flag should be enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help synchronize the capture/compare register writes. If the
MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module is set each time a match edge or up edge occurs. The CF flag in PCA0CN0 can be
used to detect the overflow or down edge.
Important: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to
PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

18.3.8.3 Comparator Clear Function
In 8/9/10/11/16-bit PWM modes, the comparator clear function utilizes the Comparator0 output synchronized to the system clock to
clear CEXn to logic low for the current PWM cycle. This comparator clear function can be enabled for each PWM channel by setting the
CPCEn bits to 1 in the PCA0CLR SFR. When the comparator clear function is disabled, CEXn is unaffected.
The asynchronous Comparator 0 output is logic high when the voltage of CP0+ is greater than CP0– and logic low when the voltage of
CP0+ is less than CP0–. The polarity of the Comparator 0 output is used to clear CEXn as follows: when CPCPOL = 0, CEXn is cleared
on the falling edge of the Comparator0 output.
CEXn (CPCEn = 0)
Comparator0 Output
(CPCPOL = 0)
CEXn (CPCEn = 1)

19. Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)
19.1 Introduction
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) module provides access to a flexible, full-duplex synchronous serial bus. The SPI can operate as a
master or slave device in both 3-wire or 4-wire modes, and supports multiple masters and slaves on a single SPI bus. The slave-select
(NSS) signal can be configured as an input to select the SPI in slave mode, or to disable master mode operation in a multi-master
environment, avoiding contention on the SPI bus when more than one master attempts simultaneous data transfers. NSS can also be
configured as a firmware-controlled chip-select output in master mode, or disabled to reduce the number of pins required. Additional
general purpose port I/O pins can be used to select multiple slave devices in master mode.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)
19.3 Functional Description
19.3.1 Signals
The SPI interface consists of up to four signals: MOSI, MISO, SCK, and NSS.
Master Out, Slave In (MOSI): The MOSI signal is the data output pin when configured as a master device and the data input pin when
configured as a slave. It is used to serially transfer data from the master to the slave. Data is transferred on the MOSI pin most-significant bit first. When configured as a master, MOSI is driven from the internal shift register in both 3- and 4-wire mode.
Master In, Slave Out (MISO): The MISO signal is the data input pin when configured as a master device and the data output pin when
configured as a slave. It is used to serially transfer data from the slave to the master. Data is transferred on the MISO pin most-significant bit first. The MISO pin is placed in a high-impedance state when the SPI module is disabled or when the SPI operates in 4-wire
mode as a slave that is not selected. When acting as a slave in 3-wire mode, MISO is always driven from the internal shift register.
Serial Clock (SCK): The SCK signal is an output from the master device and an input to slave devices. It is used to synchronize the
transfer of data between the master and slave on the MOSI and MISO lines. The SPI module generates this signal when operating as a
master and receives it as a slave. The SCK signal is ignored by a SPI slave when the slave is not selected in 4-wire slave mode.
Slave Select (NSS): The function of the slave-select (NSS) signal is dependent on the setting of the NSSMD bitfield. There are three
possible modes that can be selected with these bits:
• NSSMD[1:0] = 00: 3-Wire Master or 3-Wire Slave Mode: The SPI operates in 3-wire mode, and NSS is disabled. When operating as
a slave device, the SPI is always selected in 3-wire mode. Since no select signal is present, the SPI must be the only slave on the
bus in 3-wire mode. This is intended for point-to-point communication between a master and a single slave.
• NSSMD[1:0] = 01: 4-Wire Slave or Multi-Master Mode: The SPI operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is configured as an input. When
operating as a slave, NSS selects the SPI device. When operating as a master, a 1-to- 0 transition of the NSS signal disables the
master function of the SPI module so that multiple master devices can be used on the same SPI bus.
• NSSMD[1:0] = 1x: 4-Wire Master Mode: The SPI operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is enabled as an output. The setting of
NSSMD0 determines what logic level the NSS pin will output. This configuration should only be used when operating the SPI as a
master device.
The setting of NSSMD bits affects the pinout of the device. When in 3-wire master or 3-wire slave mode, the NSS pin will not be mapped by the crossbar. In all other modes, the NSS signal will be mapped to a pin on the device.

19.3.1.1 Routing Input Signals Through Configurable Logic
All of the SPI signals are routed through the crossbar by default. It is also possible to route the inputs to the SPI from certain CLU
outputs, as controlled by the SPI0PCF register. SCK may route from CLU1, MISO (master mode) may route from CLU2, and MOSI
(slave mode) may route from CLU3. Each input selection is controlled individually, allowing the user to apply input logic to one or more
of the inputs.
19.3.2 Master Mode Operation
An SPI master device initiates all data transfers on a SPI bus. It drives the SCK line and controls the speed at which data is transferred.
To place the SPI in master mode, the MSTEN bit should be set to 1. Writing a byte of data to the SPInDAT register writes to the transmit buffer. If the SPI shift register is empty, a byte is moved from the transmit buffer into the shift register, and a bi-directional data
transfer begins. The SPI module provides the serial clock on SCK, while simultaneously shifting data out of the shift register MSB-first
on MOSI and into the shift register MSB-first on MISO. Upon completing a transfer, the data received is moved from the shift register
into the receive buffer. If the transmit buffer is not empty, the next byte in the transmit buffer will be moved into the shift register and the
next data transfer will begin. If no new data is available in the transmit buffer, the SPI will halt and wait for new data to initiate the next
transfer. Bytes that have been received and stored in the receive buffer may be read from the buffer via the SPInDAT register.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)
19.3.3 Slave Mode Operation
When the SPI block is enabled and not configured as a master, it will operate as a SPI slave. As a slave, bytes are shifted in through
the MOSI pin and out through the MISO pin by an external master device controlling the SCK signal. A bit counter in the SPI logic
counts SCK edges. When 8 bits have been shifted through the shift register, a byte is copied into the receive buffer. Data is read from
the receive buffer by reading SPInDAT. A slave device cannot initiate transfers. Data to be transferred to the master device is pre-loaded into the transmit buffer by writing to SPInDAT and will transfer to the shift register on byte boundaries in the order in which they
were written to the buffer.
When configured as a slave, SPI0 can be configured for 4-wire or 3-wire operation. In the default, 4-wire slave mode, the NSS signal is
routed to a port pin and configured as a digital input. The SPI interface is enabled when NSS is logic 0, and disabled when NSS is logic
1. The internal shift register bit counter is reset on a falling edge of NSS. When operated in 3-wire slave mode, NSS is not mapped to
an external port pin through the crossbar. Since there is no way of uniquely addressing the device in 3-wire slave mode, the SPI must
be the only slave device present on the bus. It is important to note that in 3-wire slave mode there is no external means of resetting the
bit counter that determines when a full byte has been received. The bit counter can only be reset by disabling and re-enabling the SPI
module with the SPIEN bit.

19.3.4 Clock Phase and Polarity
Four combinations of serial clock phase and polarity can be selected using the clock control bits in the SPInCFG register. The CKPHA
bit selects one of two clock phases (edge used to latch the data). The CKPOL bit selects between an active-high or active-low clock.
Both master and slave devices must be configured to use the same clock phase and polarity. The SPI module should be disabled (by
clearing the SPIEN bit) when changing the clock phase or polarity. Note that CKPHA should be set to 0 on both the master and slave
SPI when communicating between two Silicon Labs devices.

19.3.5 Basic Data Transfer
The SPI bus is inherently full-duplex. It sends and receives a single byte on every transfer. The SPI peripheral may be operated on a
byte-by-byte basis using the SPInDAT register and the SPIF flag. The method firmware uses to send and receive data through the SPI
interface is the same in either mode, but the hardware will react differently.
Master Transfers
As an SPI master, all transfers are initiated with a write to SPInDAT, and the SPIF flag will be set by hardware to indicate the end of
each transfer. The general method for a single-byte master transfer follows:
1. Write the data to be sent to SPInDAT. The transfer will begin on the bus at this time.
2. Wait for the SPIF flag to generate an interrupt, or poll SPIF until it is set to 1.
3. Read the received data from SPInDAT.
4. Clear the SPIF flag to 0.
5. Repeat the sequence for any additional transfers.
Slave Transfers
As a SPI slave, the transfers are initiated by an external master device driving the bus. Slave firmware may anticipate any output data
needs by pre-loading the SPInDAT register before the master begins the transfer.
1. Write any data to be sent to SPInDAT. The transfer will not begin until the external master device initiates it.
2. Wait for the SPIF flag to generate an interrupt, or poll SPIF until it is set to 1.
3. Read the received data from SPInDAT.
4. Clear the SPIF flag to 0.
5. Repeat the sequence for any additional transfers.
19.3.6 Using the SPI FIFOs
The SPI peripheral implements independent four-byte FIFOs for both the transmit and receive paths. The FIFOs are active in both master and slave modes, and a number of configuration features are available to accomodate a variety of SPI implementations.
silabs.com | Smart. Connected. Energy-friendly.
Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 269
EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)
FIFO Data Interface
Writing and reading the FIFOs is straightforward, and similar to the procedure outlined in 19.3.5 Basic Data Transfer. All FIFO writes
and reads are performed through the SPInDAT register. To write data into the transmit buffer, firmware should first check the status of
the TXNF bit. If TXNF reads 1, there is room in the buffer and firmware may write to the SPInDAT register. Writing the transmit buffer
when TXNF is 0 will cause a write collision error, and the data written will not be accepted into the buffer.
To read data from the receive FIFO, firmware should check the state of the RXE bit. When RXE is 0, it means there is data available in
the receive FIFO, and it may be read using the SPInDAT register. When RXE is 1 the receive FIFO is empty. Reading an empty receive
FIFO returns the most recently-received byte.
The data in either FIFO may be flushed (i.e. FIFO pointers reset) by setting the corresponding flush bit to 1. TFLSH will reset the transmit FIFO, and RFLSH will reset the receive FIFO.
Half-Duplex Operation
SPI transfers are inherently full-duplex. However, the operation of either FIFO may be disabled to facilitate half-duplex operation.
The TXHOLD bit is used to stall transmission of bytes from the transmit FIFO. TXHOLD is checked by hardware at the beginning of a
byte transfer. If TXHOLD is 1 at the beginning of a byte transfer, data will not be pulled from the transmit FIFO. Instead, the SPI interface will hold the output pin at the logic level defined by the TXPOL bit.
The RXFIFOE bit may be used to disable the receive FIFO. If RXFIFOE is 0 at the end of a byte transfer, the received byte will be
discarded and the receive FIFO will not be updated.
TXHOLD and RXFIFOE can be changed by firmware at any time during a transfer. Any data currently being shifted out on the SPI
interface has already been pulled from the transmit FIFO, and changing TXFLSH will not abort that data transfer.
FIFO Thresholds and Interrupts
The number of bytes present in the FIFOs is stored in the SPInFCT register. The TXCNT field indicates the number of bytes in the
transmit FIFO while the RXCNT field indicates the number of bytes in the receive FIFO.
Each FIFO has a threshold field which firmware may use to define when transmit and receive requests will occur. The transmit threshold (TXTH) is continually compared with the TXCNT field. If TXCNT is less than or equal to TXTH, hardware will set the TFRQ flag to 1.
The receive threshold (RXTH) is continually compared with RXCNT. If RXCNT is greater than RXTH, hardware will set the RFRQ flag
to 1.
The thresholds can be used in interrupt-based systems to specify when the associated interrupt occurs. Both the RFRQ and TFRQ
flags may be individually enabled to generate an SPI interrupt using the RFRQE and TFRQE bits, respecitvely. In most applications,
when RFRQ or TFRQ are used to generate interrupts the SPIF flag should be disabled as an interrupt source by clearing the SPIFEN
control bit to 0.
Applications may choose to use any combination of interrupt sources as needed. In general, the following settings are recommended
for different applications:
• Master mode, transmit only: Use only the TFRQ flag as an interrupt source. Inside the ISR, check TXNF before writing more data
to the FIFO. When all data to be sent has been processed through the ISR, the ISR may clear TFRQE to 0 to prevent further interrupts. Main threads may then set TFRQE back to 1 when additional data is to be sent.
• Master mode, full-duplex or receive only: Use only the RFRQ flag as an interrupt source. Transfers may be started by a write to
SPInDAT. Inside the ISR, check RXE and read bytes from the FIFO as they are available. For every byte read, a new byte may be
written to the transmit FIFO until there are no more bytes to send. If operating half-duplex in receive-only mode, the SPInDAT register must still be written to initiate new transfers.
• Slave mode, transmit only: Use the TFRQ flag as an interrupt source. Inside the ISR, check TXNF before writing more data to the
FIFO. The receive FIFO may also be disabled if desired.
• Slave mode, receive only: Use the RFRQ flag as an interrupt source. If the RXTH field is set to anything other than 0, it is recommended to configure and enable RX timeouts. Inside the ISR, check RXE and read bytes from the FIFO as they are available. The
transmit FIFO may be disabled if desired. Note that if the transmit FIFO is not disabled and firmware does not write to SPInDAT,
bytes received in the shift register could be sent back out on the SPI MISO pin.
• Slave mode, full-duplex: Pre-load the transmit FIFO with the initial bytes to be sent. Use the RFRQ flag as an interrupt source. If
the RXTH field is set to anything other than 0, it is recommended to configure and enable RX timeouts. Inside the ISR, check RXE
and read bytes from the FIFO as they are available. For every byte read, a new byte may be written to the transmit FIFO.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)
Slave Receiver Timeout
When acting as a SPI slave using RFRQ interrupts and with the RXTH field set to a value greater than 0, it is possible for the external
master to write too few bytes to the device to immediately generate an interrupt. To avoid leaving lingering bytes in the receive FIFO,
the slave receiver timeout feature may be used. Receive timeouts are enabled by setting the RXTOE bit to 1.
The length of a receive timeout may be specified in the SPInCKR register, and is equivalent to SPInCKR x 32 system clock cycles
(SYSCLKs). The internal timeout counter will run when at least one byte has been received in the receive FIFO, but the RFRQ flag is
not set (the RFTH threshold has not been crossed). The counter is reloaded from the SPInCKR register under any of the following conditions:
• The receive buffer is read. by firmware.
• The RFRQ flag is set.
• A valid SCK occurs on the SPI interface.
If the internal counter runs out, a SPI interrupt will be generated, allowing firmware to read any bytes remaining in the receive FIFO.

20.3.2 SMBus Protocol
The SMBus specification allows any recessive voltage between 3.0 and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different
voltage levels. However, the maximum voltage on any port pin must conform to the electrical characteristics specifications. The bi-directional SCL (serial clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage through a pullup resistor or
similar circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-drain or open-collector output for both the SCL and SDA lines, so
that both are pulled high (recessive state) when the bus is free. The maximum number of devices on the bus is limited only by the
requirement that the rise and fall times on the bus not exceed 300 ns and 1000 ns, respectively.

Figure 20.2. Typical SMBus System Connection
Two types of data transfers are possible: data transfers from a master transmitter to an addressed slave receiver (WRITE), and data
transfers from an addressed slave transmitter to a master receiver (READ). The master device initiates both types of data transfers and
provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. The SMBus interface may operate as a master or a slave, and multiple master devices on the
same bus are supported. If two or more masters attempt to initiate a data transfer simultaneously, an arbitration scheme is employed
with a single master always winning the arbitration. It is not necessary to specify one device as the Master in a system; any device who
transmits a START and a slave address becomes the master for the duration of that transfer.
A typical SMBus transaction consists of a START condition followed by an address byte (Bits7–1: 7-bit slave address; Bit0: R/W direction bit), one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Bytes that are received (by a master or slave) are acknowledged (ACK) with
a low SDA during a high SCL (see Figure 20.3 SMBus Transaction on page 285). If the receiving device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a NACK (not acknowledge), which is a high SDA during a high SCL.
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set to logic 1 to indicate a
"READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The master generates the START
condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the transaction is a WRITE operation from the master to the slave,
the master transmits the data a byte at a time waiting for an ACK from the slave at the end of each byte. For READ operations, the
slave transmits the data waiting for an ACK from the master at the end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the master generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction and free the bus. Figure 20.3 SMBus Transaction on page 285 illustrates a typical
SMBus transaction.

Figure 20.3. SMBus Transaction
Transmitter vs. Receiver
On the SMBus communications interface, a device is the “transmitter” when it is sending an address or data byte to another device on
the bus. A device is a “receiver” when an address or data byte is being sent to it from another device on the bus. The transmitter controls the SDA line during the address or data byte. After each byte of address or data information is sent by the transmitter, the receiver
sends an ACK or NACK bit during the ACK phase of the transfer, during which time the receiver controls the SDA line.
Arbitration
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is free. The bus is free after a STOP condition or after the SCL and SDA lines remain high
for a specified time (see ● SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout on page 285). In the event that two or more devices attempt to begin a
transfer at the same time, an arbitration scheme is employed to force one master to give up the bus. The master devices continue
transmitting until one attempts a HIGH while the other transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-drain, the bus will be pulled LOW. The
master attempting the HIGH will detect a LOW SDA and lose the arbitration. The winning master continues its transmission without
interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and receives the rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration scheme is non-destructive: one device always wins, and no data is lost.
Clock Low Extension
SMBus provides a clock synchronization mechanism, similar to I2C, which allows devices with different speed capabilities to coexist on
the bus. A clock-low extension is used during a transfer in order to allow slower slave devices to communicate with faster masters. The
slave may temporarily hold the SCL line LOW to extend the clock low period, effectively decreasing the serial clock frequency.
SCL Low Timeout
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore, the master cannot force the
SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus protocol specifies that devices participating in a transfer
must detect any clock cycle held low longer than 25 ms as a “timeout” condition. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must
reset the communication no later than 10 ms after detecting the timeout condition.
For the SMBus 0 interface, Timer 3 is used to implement SCL low timeouts. The SCL low timeout feature is enabled by setting the
SMB0TOE bit in SMB0CF. The associated timer is forced to reload when SCL is high, and allowed to count when SCL is low. With the
associated timer enabled and configured to overflow after 25 ms (and SMB0TOE set), the timer interrupt service routine can be used to
reset (disable and re-enable) the SMBus in the event of an SCL low timeout.
SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 μs, the bus is designated as free. When
the SMB0FTE bit in SMB0CF is set, the bus will be considered free if SCL and SDA remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source
periods (as defined by the timer configured for the SMBus clock source). If the SMBus is waiting to generate a Master START, the
START will be generated following this timeout. A clock source is required for free timeout detection, even in a slave-only implementation.

20.3.3 Configuring the SMBus Module
The SMBus can operate in both Master and Slave modes. The interface provides timing and shifting control for serial transfers; higher
level protocol is determined by user software. The SMBus interface provides the following application-independent features:
• Byte-wise serial data transfers
• Clock signal generation on SCL (Master Mode only) and SDA data synchronization
• Timeout/bus error recognition, as defined by the SMB0CF configuration register
• START/STOP timing, detection, and generation
• Bus arbitration
• Interrupt generation
• Status information
• Optional hardware recognition of slave address and automatic acknowledgement of address/data
SMBus interrupts are generated for each data byte or slave address that is transferred. When hardware acknowledgement is disabled,
the point at which the interrupt is generated depends on whether the hardware is acting as a data transmitter or receiver. When a transmitter (i.e., sending address/data, receiving an ACK), this interrupt is generated after the ACK cycle so that software may read the received ACK value; when receiving data (i.e., receiving address/data, sending an ACK), this interrupt is generated before the ACK cycle
so that software may define the outgoing ACK value. If hardware acknowledgement is enabled, these interrupts are always generated
after the ACK cycle. Interrupts are also generated to indicate the beginning of a transfer when a master (START generated), or the end
of a transfer when a slave (STOP detected). Software should read the SMB0CN0 register to find the cause of the SMBus interrupt.

Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 286
EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
System Management Bus / I2C (SMB0)
SMBus Configuration Register
The SMBus Configuration register (SMB0CF) is used to enable the SMBus master and/or slave modes, select the SMBus clock source,
and select the SMBus timing and timeout options. When the ENSMB bit is set, the SMBus is enabled for all master and slave events.
Slave events may be disabled by setting the INH bit. With slave events inhibited, the SMBus interface will still monitor the SCL and SDA
pins; however, the interface will NACK all received addresses and will not generate any slave interrupts. When the INH bit is set, all
slave events will be inhibited following the next START (interrupts will continue for the duration of the current transfer).
The SMBCS bit field selects the SMBus clock source, which is used only when operating as a master or when the Free Timeout detection is enabled. When operating as a master, overflows from the selected source determine both the bit rate and the absolute minimum
SCL low and high times. The selected clock source may be shared by other peripherals so long as the timer is left running at all times.
The selected clock source should typically be configured to overflow at three times the desired bit rate. When the interface is operating
as a master (and SCL is not driven or extended by any other devices on the bus), the device will hold the SCL line low for one overflow
period, and release it for two overflow periods. THIGH is typically twice as large as TLOW. The actual SCL output may vary due to other
devices on the bus (SCL may be extended low by slower slave devices, driven low by contending master devices, or have long ramp
times). The SMBus hardware will ensure that once SCL does return high, it reads a logic high state for a minimum of one overflow
period.

Setting the EXTHOLD bit extends the minimum setup and hold times for the SDA line. The minimum SDA setup time defines the absolute minimum time that SDA is stable before SCL transitions from low-to-high. The minimum SDA hold time defines the absolute minimum time that the current SDA value remains stable after SCL transitions from high-to-low. EXTHOLD should be set so that the minimum setup and hold times meet the SMBus Specification requirements of 250 ns and 300 ns, respectively. Setup and hold time extensions are typically necessary for SMBus compliance when SYSCLK is above 10 MHz.

Note: Setup Time for ACK bit transmissions and the MSB of all data transfers. When using software acknowledgment, the s/w delay
occurs between the time SMB0DAT or ACK is written and when SI is cleared. Note that if SI is cleared in the same write that defines
the outgoing ACK value, s/w delay is zero.
With the SMBTOE bit set, Timer 3 should be configured to overflow after 25 ms in order to detect SCL low timeouts. The SMBus interface will force the associated timer to reload while SCL is high, and allow the timer to count when SCL is low. The timer interrupt service routine should be used to reset SMBus communication by disabling and re-enabling the SMBus. SMBus Free Timeout detection can
be enabled by setting the SMBFTE bit. When this bit is set, the bus will be considered free if SDA and SCL remain high for more than
10 SMBus clock source periods.
SMBus Pin Swap
The SMBus peripheral is assigned to pins using the priority crossbar decoder. By default, the SMBus signals are assigned to port pins
starting with SDA on the lower-numbered pin, and SCL on the next available pin. The SWAP bit in the SMBus Timing Control register
can be set to 1 to reverse the order in which the SMBus signals are assigned.

EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
System Management Bus / I2C (SMB0)
SMBus Timing Control
The SDD field in the SMBus Timing Control register is used to restrict the detection of a START condition under certain circumstances.
In some systems where there is significant mismatch between the impedance or the capacitance on the SDA and SCL lines, it may be
possible for SCL to fall after SDA during an address or data transfer. Such an event can cause a false START detection on the bus.
These kind of events are not expected in a standard SMBus or I2C-compliant system.
Note: In most systems this parameter should not be adjusted, and it is recommended that it be left at its default value.
By default, if the SCL falling edge is detected after the falling edge of SDA (i.e., one SYSCLK cycle or more), the device will detect this
as a START condition. The SDD field is used to increase the amount of hold time that is required between SDA and SCL falling before
a START is recognized. An additional 2, 4, or 8 SYSCLKs can be added to prevent false START detection in systems where the bus
conditions warrant this.
SMBus Control Register
SMB0CN0 is used to control the interface and to provide status information. The higher four bits of SMB0CN0 (MASTER, TXMODE,
STA, and STO) form a status vector that can be used to jump to service routines. MASTER indicates whether a device is the master or
slave during the current transfer. TXMODE indicates whether the device is transmitting or receiving data for the current byte.
STA and STO indicate that a START and/or STOP has been detected or generated since the last SMBus interrupt. STA and STO are
also used to generate START and STOP conditions when operating as a master. Writing a 1 to STA will cause the SMBus interface to
enter Master Mode and generate a START when the bus becomes free (STA is not cleared by hardware after the START is generated).
Writing a 1 to STO while in Master Mode will cause the interface to generate a STOP and end the current transfer after the next ACK
cycle. If STO and STA are both set (while in Master Mode), a STOP followed by a START will be generated.
The ARBLOST bit indicates that the interface has lost an arbitration. This may occur anytime the interface is transmitting (master or
slave). A lost arbitration while operating as a slave indicates a bus error condition. ARBLOST is cleared by hardware each time SI is
cleared.
The SI bit (SMBus Interrupt Flag) is set at the beginning and end of each transfer, after each byte frame, or when an arbitration is lost.
Note: The SMBus interface is stalled while SI is set; if SCL is held low at this time, the bus is stalled until software clears SI.

Hardware ACK Generation
When the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM is set to 1, automatic slave address recognition and ACK generation is enabled. As a receiver, the value currently specified by the ACK bit will be automatically sent on the bus during the ACK cycle of an incoming data byte.
As a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates the value received on the last ACK cycle. The ACKRQ bit is not used when hardware
ACK generation is enabled. If a received slave address is NACKed by hardware, further slave events will be ignored until the next
START is detected, and no interrupt will be generated.

Hardware Slave Address Recognition
The SMBus hardware has the capability to automatically recognize incoming slave addresses and send an ACK without software intervention. Automatic slave address recognition is enabled by setting the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM to 1. This will enable both automatic slave address recognition and automatic hardware ACK generation for received bytes (as a master or slave).
The registers used to define which address(es) are recognized by the hardware are the SMBus Slave Address register and the SMBus
Slave Address Mask register. A single address or range of addresses (including the General Call Address 0x00) can be specified using
these two registers. The most-significant seven bits of the two registers are used to define which addresses will be ACKed. A 1 in a bit
of the slave address mask SLVM enables a comparison between the received slave address and the hardware’s slave address SLV for
that bit. A 0 in a bit of the slave address mask means that bit will be treated as a “don’t care” for comparison purposes. In this case,
either a 1 or a 0 value are acceptable on the incoming slave address. Additionally, if the GC bit in register SMB0ADR is set to 1, hardware will recognize the General Call Address (0x00).

Note: These addresses must be shifted to the left by one bit when writing to the SMB0ADR register.
Software ACK Generation
In general, it is recommended for applications to use hardware ACK and address recognition. In some cases it may be desirable to
drive ACK generation and address recognition from firmware. When the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM is cleared to 0, the firmware
on the device must detect incoming slave addresses and ACK or NACK the slave address and incoming data bytes. As a receiver,
writing the ACK bit defines the outgoing ACK value; as a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates the value received during the last
ACK cycle. ACKRQ is set each time a byte is received, indicating that an outgoing ACK value is needed. When ACKRQ is set, software
should write the desired outgoing value to the ACK bit before clearing SI. A NACK will be generated if software does not write the ACK
bit before clearing SI. SDA will reflect the defined ACK value immediately following a write to the ACK bit; however SCL will remain low
until SI is cleared. If a received slave address is not acknowledged, further slave events will be ignored until the next START is detected.
SMBus Data Register
The SMBus Data register SMB0DAT holds a byte of serial data to be transmitted or one that has just been received. Software may
safely read or write to the data register when the SI flag is set. Software should not attempt to access the SMB0DAT register when the
SMBus is enabled and the SI flag is cleared to logic 0.
Note: Certain device families have a transmit and receive buffer interface which is accessed by reading and writing the SMB0DAT register. To promote software portability between devices with and without this buffer interface it is recommended that SMB0DAT not be
used as a temporary storage location. On buffer-enabled devices, writing the register multiple times will push multiple bytes into the
transmit FIFO.
20.3.4 Operational Modes
The SMBus interface may be configured to operate as master and/or slave. At any particular time, it will be operating in one of the
following four modes: Master Transmitter, Master Receiver, Slave Transmitter, or Slave Receiver. The SMBus interface enters Master
Mode any time a START is generated, and remains in Master Mode until it loses an arbitration or generates a STOP. An SMBus interrupt is generated at the end of all SMBus byte frames. The position of the ACK interrupt when operating as a receiver depends on
whether hardware ACK generation is enabled. As a receiver, the interrupt for an ACK occurs before the ACK with hardware ACK generation disabled, and after the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled. As a transmitter, interrupts occur after the ACK, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is enabled or not.

Master Write Sequence
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The master in this transfer will be a transmitter during the
address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. The SMBus interface generates the START condition and transmits the first byte
containing the address of the target slave and the data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 (WRITE). The
master then transmits one or more bytes of serial data. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is generated by the slave.
The transfer is ended when the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. The interface will switch to Master Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT
is not written following a Master Transmitter interrupt. Figure 20.5 Typical Master Write Sequence on page 291 shows a typical master
write sequence as it appears on the bus, and Figure 20.6 Master Write Sequence State Diagram (EHACK = 1) on page 292 shows the
corresponding firmware state machine. Two transmit data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice
that all of the “data byte transferred” interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation
is enabled.

Master Read Sequence
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The master in this transfer will be a transmitter during the
address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. The SMBus interface generates the START condition and transmits the first byte
containing the address of the target slave and the data direction bit. In this case the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 (READ).
Serial data is then received from the slave on SDA while the SMBus outputs the serial clock. The slave transmits one or more bytes of
serial data.
If hardware ACK generation is disabled, the ACKRQ is set to 1 and an interrupt is generated after each received byte. Software must
write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.
With hardware ACK generation enabled, the SMBus hardware will automatically generate the ACK/NACK, and then post the interrupt. It
is important to note that the appropriate ACK or NACK value should be set up by the software prior to receiving the byte when hardware
ACK generation is enabled.
Writing a 1 to the ACK bit generates an ACK; writing a 0 generates a NACK. Software should write a 0 to the ACK bit for the last data
transfer, to transmit a NACK. The interface exits Master Receiver Mode after the STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. The interface
will switch to Master Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an active Master Receiver. Figure 20.7 Typical Master Read Sequence on page 293 shows a typical master read sequence as it appears on the bus, and Figure 20.8 Master Read Sequence State
Diagram (EHACK = 1) on page 294 shows the corresponding firmware state machine. Two received data bytes are shown, though any
number of bytes may be received. Notice that the "data byte transferred" interrupts occur at different places in the sequence, depending
on whether hardware ACK generation is enabled. The interrupt occurs before the ACK with hardware ACK generation disabled, and
after the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled.

Slave Write Sequence
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be a receiver during the address
byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled (INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode when a
START followed by a slave address and direction bit (WRITE in this case) is received. If hardware ACK generation is disabled, upon
entering Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software must respond to the received slave
address with an ACK, or ignore the received slave address with a NACK. If hardware ACK generation is enabled, the hardware will
apply the ACK for a slave address which matches the criteria set up by SMB0ADR and SMB0ADM. The interrupt will occur after the
ACK cycle.
If the received slave address is ignored (by software or hardware), slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next START is detected. If
the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are received.
If hardware ACK generation is disabled, the ACKRQ is set to 1 and an interrupt is generated after each received byte. Software must
write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.
With hardware ACK generation enabled, the SMBus hardware will automatically generate the ACK/NACK, and then post the interrupt. It
is important to note that the appropriate ACK or NACK value should be set up by the software prior to receiving the byte when hardware
ACK generation is enabled.
The interface exits Slave Receiver Mode after receiving a STOP. The interface will switch to Slave Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is
written while an active Slave Receiver. Figure 20.9 Typical Slave Write Sequence on page 295 shows a typical slave write sequence
as it appears on the bus. The corresponding firmware state diagram (combined with the slave read sequence) is shown in Figure

Slave Read Sequence
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be a receiver during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled (INH = 0), the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode
(to receive the slave address) when a START followed by a slave address and direction bit (READ in this case) is received. If hardware
ACK generation is disabled, upon entering Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software
must respond to the received slave address with an ACK, or ignore the received slave address with a NACK. If hardware ACK generation is enabled, the hardware will apply the ACK for a slave address which matches the criteria set up by SMB0ADR and SMB0ADM.
The interrupt will occur after the ACK cycle.
If the received slave address is ignored (by software or hardware), slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next START is detected. If
the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are transmitted. If the received slave address is acknowledged,
data should be written to SMB0DAT to be transmitted. The interface enters slave transmitter mode, and transmits one or more bytes of
data. After each byte is transmitted, the master sends an acknowledge bit; if the acknowledge bit is an ACK, SMB0DAT should be written with the next data byte. If the acknowledge bit is a NACK, SMB0DAT should not be written to before SI is cleared (an error condition
may be generated if SMB0DAT is written following a received NACK while in slave transmitter mode). The interface exits slave transmitter mode after receiving a STOP. The interface will switch to slave receiver mode if SMB0DAT is not written following a Slave Transmitter interrupt. Figure 20.11 Typical Slave Read Sequence on page 297 shows a typical slave read sequence as it appears on the

Master Receiver: This field allows firmware to set the number of bytes to receive as a master receiver (with EHACK set to

read new bytes from the slave device and send ACKs. Each received byte decrements RXLN until RXLN reaches 0. If
RXLN is 0 and a new byte is received, hardware will set the SI bit and stall the bus. The last byte recieved will be ACKed if
the ACK bit is set to 1, or NAKed if the ACK bit is cleared to 0.
Slave Receiver: When RXLN is cleared to 0, the bus will stall and generate an interrupt after every received byte, regardless of the FIFO status. Any other value programmed here will allow the FIFO to operate. RXLN is not decremented as new
bytes arrive in slave receiver mode.
This register should not be modified by firmware in the middle of a transfer, except when SI = 1 and the bus is stalled.

Timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2, Timer3, Timer4, and Timer5)
21. Timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2, Timer3, Timer4, and Timer5)
21.1 Introduction
Six counter/timers are included in the device: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found in the standard 8051, and four
are 16-bit auto-reload timers for timing peripherals or for general purpose use. These timers can be used to measure time intervals,
count external events and generate periodic interrupt requests. Timer 0 and Timer 1 are nearly identical and have four primary modes
of operation. Timer 2, Timer 3, Timer 4 and Timer 5 are also similar, and offer both 16-bit and split 8-bit timer functionality with autoreload capabilities. Timer 2, 3, 4, and 5 offer capture functions that may be selected from several on-chip sources or an external pin,
and may also be forced to reload on CLU output signals.
Timers 0 and 1 may be clocked by one of five sources, determined by the Timer Mode Select bits (T1M–T0M) and the Clock Scale bits
(SCA1–SCA0). The Clock Scale bits define a pre-scaled clock from which Timer 0 and/or Timer 1 may be clocked.
Timer 0/1 may then be configured to use this pre-scaled clock signal or the system clock. Timers 2, 3, 4, and 5 may be clocked by the
system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external clock divided by 8. Additionally, Timer 3 and Timer 4 may be clocked from
the LFOSC0 divided by 8, and operate in Suspend or Snooze modes. Timer 4 is a wake source for the device, and may be chained
together with Timer 3 to produce long sleep intervals.
Timer 0 and Timer 1 may also be operated as counters. When functioning as a counter, a counter/timer register is incremented on each
high-to-low transition at the selected input pin (T0 or T1). Events with a frequency of up to one-fourth the system clock frequency can
be counted. The input signal need not be periodic, but it must be held at a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure
the level is properly sampled.

Timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2, Timer3, Timer4, and Timer5)
21.3.2 Timer 0 and Timer 1
Timer 0 and Timer 1 are each implemented as a 16-bit register accessed as two separate bytes: a low byte (TL0 or TL1) and a high
byte (TH0 or TH1). The Counter/Timer Control register (TCON) is used to enable Timer 0 and Timer 1 as well as indicate status. Timer
0 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET0 bit in the IE register. Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET1 bit in the IE
register. Both counter/timers operate in one of four primary modes selected by setting the Mode Select bits T1M1–T0M0 in the Counter/
Timer Mode register (TMOD). Each timer can be configured independently for the supported operating modes.

Timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2, Timer3, Timer4, and Timer5)
21.3.2.1 Operational Modes
Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as 13-bit counter/timers in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration and operation of Timer 0.
However, both timers operate identically, and Timer 1 is configured in the same manner as described for Timer 0.
The TH0 register holds the eight MSBs of the 13-bit counter/timer. TL0 holds the five LSBs in bit positions TL0.4–TL0.0. The three
upper bits of TL0 (TL0.7–TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or ignored when reading. As the 13-bit timer register
increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to 0x0000, the timer overflow flag TF0 in TCON is set and an interrupt occurs if Timer
0 interrupts are enabled. The overflow rate for Timer 0 in 13-bit mode is:
F TIMER0 =
F Input Clock
213 – TH0:TL0
=
F Input Clock
8192 – TH0:TL0
The CT0 bit in the TMOD register selects the counter/timer's clock source. When CT0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low transitions at the
selected Timer 0 input pin (T0) increment the timer register. Events with a frequency of up to one-fourth the system clock frequency can
be counted. The input signal need not be periodic, but it must be held at a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure
the level is properly sampled. Clearing CT selects the clock defined by the T0M bit in register CKCON0. When T0M is set, Timer 0 is
clocked by the system clock. When T0M is cleared, Timer 0 is clocked by the source selected by the Clock Scale bits in CKCON0.
Setting the TR0 bit enables the timer when either GATE0 in the TMOD register is logic 0 or based on the input signal INT0. The IN0PL
bit setting in IT01CF changes which state of INT0 input starts the timer counting. Setting GATE0 to 1 allows the timer to be controlled
by the external input signal INT0, facilitating pulse width measurements.

Setting TR0 does not force the timer to reset. The timer registers should be loaded with the desired initial value before the timer is
enabled.
TL1 and TH1 form the 13-bit register for Timer 1 in the same manner as described above for TL0 and TH0. Timer 1 is configured and
controlled using the relevant TCON and TMOD bits just as with Timer 0. The input signal INT1 is used with Timer 1, and IN1PL in
register IT01CF determines the INT1 state that starts Timer 1 counting.

Mode 2: 8-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload
Mode 2 configures Timer 0 and Timer 1 to operate as 8-bit counter/timers with automatic reload of the start value. TL0 holds the count
and TH0 holds the reload value. When the counter in TL0 overflows from all ones to 0x00, the timer overflow flag TF0 in the TCON
register is set and the counter in TL0 is reloaded from TH0. If Timer 0 interrupts are enabled, an interrupt will occur when the TF0 flag is
set. The reload value in TH0 is not changed. TL0 must be initialized to the desired value before enabling the timer for the first count to
be correct. When in Mode 2, Timer 1 operates identically to Timer 0.
The overflow rate for Timer 0 in 8-bit auto-reload mode is:
F TIMER0 =
F Input Clock
28 – TH0
=
F Input Clock
256 – TH0
Both counter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 2 in the same manner as Mode 0. Setting the TR0 bit enables the timer when
either GATE0 in the TMOD register is logic 0 or when the input signal INT0 is active as defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF.

Mode 3: Two 8-bit Counter/Timers (Timer 0 Only)
In Mode 3, Timer 0 is configured as two separate 8-bit counter/timers held in TL0 and TH0. The counter/timer in TL0 is controlled using
the Timer 0 control/status bits in TCON and TMOD: TR0, CT0, GATE0, and TF0. TL0 can use either the system clock or an external
input signal as its timebase. The TH0 register is restricted to a timer function sourced by the system clock or prescaled clock. TH0 is
enabled using the Timer 1 run control bit TR1. TH0 sets the Timer 1 overflow flag TF1 on overflow and thus controls the Timer 1 interrupt.
The overflow rate for Timer 0 Low in 8-bit mode is:
F TIMER0 =
F Input Clock
28 – TL0
=
F Input Clock
256 – TL0
The overflow rate for Timer 0 High in 8-bit mode is:
F TIMER0 =

Timer 1 is inactive in Mode 3. When Timer 0 is operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be operated in Modes 0, 1 or 2, but cannot be clocked
by external signals nor set the TF1 flag and generate an interrupt. However, the Timer 1 overflow can be used to generate baud rates
for the SMBus and/or UART, and/or initiate ADC conversions. While Timer 0 is operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 run control is handled
through its mode settings. To run Timer 1 while Timer 0 is in Mode 3, set the Timer 1 Mode as 0, 1, or 2. To disable Timer 1, configure
it for Mode 3.

Timer 2, Timer 3, Timer 4 and Timer 5 are functionally equivalent, with the only differences being the top-level connections to other
parts of the system.
The timers are 16 bits wide, formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMRnL (low byte) and TMRnH (high byte). Each timer may operate in 16-bit
auto-reload mode, dual 8-bit auto-reload (split) mode, or capture mode.

Clock Selection
Clocking for each timer is configured using the TnXCLK bit field and the TnML and TnMH bits. Timer 2 may be clocked by the system
clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external clock source divided by 8 (synchronized with SYSCLK). The maximum frequency
for the external clock is:

7
Timers 3 and 4 may additionally be clocked from the LFOSC0 output divided by 8, and are capable of operating in both the Suspend
and Snooze power modes. Timer 4 includes Timer 3 overflows as a clock source, allowing the two to be chained together for longer
sleep intervals. When operating in one of the 16-bit modes, the low-side timer clock is used to clock the entire 16-bit timer.

Each timer may individually select one of four capture sources in capture mode: An external input (T2, routed through the crossbar), the
low-frequency oscillator clock, or comparator 0 events. The capture input signal for the timer is selected using the TnCSEL field in the

21.3.3.1 16-bit Timer with Auto-Reload
When TnSPLIT is zero, the timer operates as a 16-bit timer with auto-reload. In this mode, the selected clock source increments the
timer on every clock. As the 16-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the 16-bit value in the timer reload
registers (TMRnRLH and TMRnRLL) is loaded into the main timer count register, and the High Byte Overflow Flag (TFnH) is set. If the
timer interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated on each timer overflow. Additionally, if the timer interrupts are enabled and the
TFnLEN bit is set, an interrupt is generated each time the lower 8 bits (TMRnL) overflow from 0xFF to 0x00.

It is also possible to connect the timer up with a CLU output to force a timer reload. The RLFSEL field in the TMRnCN1 register selects
this option. When RLFSEL is set to a CLU output option, the timer will reload as normal on overflows, but will also be reloaded whenever the CLU synchronous output is logic high.

21.3.3.2 8-bit Timers with Auto-Reload (Split Mode)
When TnSPLIT is set, the timer operates as two 8-bit timers (TMRnH and TMRnL). Both 8-bit timers operate in auto-reload mode.
TMRnRLL holds the reload value for TMRnL; TMRnRLH holds the reload value for TMRnH. The TRn bit in TMRnCN handles the run
control for TMRnH. TMRnL is always running when configured for 8-bit auto-reload mode. As shown in the clock source selection tree,
the two halves of the timer may be clocked from SYSCLK or by the source selected by the TnXCLK bits.
The overflow rate of the low timer in split 8-bit auto-reload mode is:
F TIMERn Low =
F Input Clock
=
8
2 – TMRnRLL
F Input Clock
256 – TMRnRLL

F TIMERn High =
F Input Clock

2 – TMRnRLH
=
F Input Clock
256 – TMRnRLH
The TFnH bit is set when TMRnH overflows from 0xFF to 0x00; the TFnL bit is set when TMRnL overflows from 0xFF to 0x00. When
timer interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated each time TMRnH overflows. If timer interrupts are enabled and TFnLEN is set,
an interrupt is generated each time either TMRnL or TMRnH overflows. When TFnLEN is enabled, software must check the TFnH and
TFnL flags to determine the source of the timer interrupt. The TFnH and TFnL interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware and must be
manually cleared by software.

21.3.3.3 Capture Mode
Capture mode allows a system event to be measured against the selected clock source. When used in capture mode, the timer clocks
normally from the selected clock source through the entire range of 16-bit values from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
Setting TFnCEN to 1 enables capture mode. In this mode, TnSPLIT should be set to 0, as the full 16-bit timer is used. Upon a falling
edge of the input capture signal, the contents of the timer register (TMRnH:TMRnL) are loaded into the reload registers
(TMRnRLH:TMRnRLL) and the TFnH flag is set. By recording the difference between two successive timer capture values, the period
of the captured signal can be determined with respect to the selected timer clock.

21.3.3.4 Timer 3 and Timer 4 Chaining and Wake Source
Timer 3 and Timer 4 may be chained together to provide a longer counter option. This is accomplished by configuring Timer 4's
T4XCLK field to clock from Timer 3 overflows. The primary use of this mode is to wake the device from long-term Suspend or Snooze
operations, but it may also be used effectively as a 32-bit capture source.
It is important to note the relationship between the two timers when they are chained together in this manner. The timer 3 overflow rate
becomes the Timer 4 clock, and essentially acts as a prescaler to the 16-bit Timer 4 function. For example, if Timer 3 is configured to
overflow every 3 SYSCLKs, and Timer 4 is configured to overflow every 5 clocks (coming from Timer 3 overflows), the Timer 4 overflow
will occur every 15 SYSCLKs.
Timer 4 is capable of waking the device from the low-power Suspend and Snooze modes. To operate in either mode, the timer must be
running from either the LFOSC / 8 option, or Timer 3 overflows (with Timer 3 configured to run from LFOSC / 8). If running in one of
these modes, the overflow event from Timer 4 will trigger a wake for the device.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter 0 (UART0)
22. Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter 0 (UART0)
22.1 Introduction
UART0 is an asynchronous, full duplex serial port offering modes 1 and 3 of the standard 8051 UART. Enhanced baud rate support
allows a wide range of clock sources to generate standard baud rates. Received data buffering allows UART0 to start reception of a
second incoming data byte before software has finished reading the previous data byte.
UART0 has two associated SFRs: Serial Control Register 0 (SCON0) and Serial Data Buffer 0 (SBUF0). The single SBUF0 location
provides access to both transmit and receive registers.
Note: Writes to SBUF0 always access the transmit register. Reads of SBUF0 always access the buffered receive register; it is not possible to read data from the transmit register.
With UART0 interrupts enabled, an interrupt is generated each time a transmit is completed (TI is set in SCON0), or a data byte has
been received (RI is set in SCON0). The UART0 interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt
service routine. They must be cleared manually by software, allowing software to determine the cause of the UART0 interrupt (transmit
complete or receive complete).

22.2 Features
The UART uses two signals (TX and RX) and a predetermined fixed baud rate to provide asynchronous communications with other
devices.
The UART module provides the following features:
• Asynchronous transmissions and receptions
• Baud rates up to SYSCLK/2 (transmit) or SYSCLK/8 (receive)
• 8- or 9-bit data
• Automatic start and stop generation
• Single-byte buffer on transmit and receive

22.3 Functional Description
22.3.1 Baud Rate Generation
The UART0 baud rate is generated by Timer 1 in 8-bit auto-reload mode. The TX clock is generated by TL1; the RX clock is generated
by a copy of TL1, which is not user-accessible. Both TX and RX timer overflows are divided by two to generate the TX and RX baud
rates. The RX timer runs when Timer 1 is enabled and uses the same reload value (TH1). However, an RX timer reload is forced when
a START condition is detected on the RX pin. This allows a receive to begin any time a START is detected, independent of the TX timer
state.

Timer 1 should be configured for 8-bit auto-reload mode (mode 2). The Timer 1 reload value and prescaler should be set so that overflows occur at twice the desired UART0 baud rate. The UART0 baud rate is half of the Timer 1 overflow rate. Configuring the Timer 1
overflow rate is discussed in the timer sections.
22.3.2 Data Format
UART0 has two options for data formatting. All data transfers begin with a start bit (logic low), followed by the data (sent LSB-first), and
end with a stop bit (logic high). The data length of the UART0 module is normally 8 bits. An extra 9th bit may be added to the MSB of
data field for use in multi-processor communications or for implementing parity checks on the data. The S0MODE bit in the SCON register selects between 8 or 9-bit data transfers.

22.3.3 Data Transfer
UART0 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication. All data sent or received goes through the SBUF0 register and (in
9-bit mode) the RB8 bit in the SCON0 register.
Transmitting Data
Data transmission is initiated when software writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. If 9-bit mode is used, software should set up the
desired 9th bit in TB8 prior to writing SBUF0. Data is transmitted LSB first from the TX pin. The TI flag in SCON0 is set at the end of the
transmission (at the beginning of the stop-bit time). If TI interrupts are enabled, TI will trigger an interrupt.
Receiving Data
To enable data reception, firmware should write the REN bit to 1. Data reception begins when a start condition is recognized on the RX
pin. Data will be received at the selected baud rate through the end of the data phase. Data will be transferred into the receive buffer
under the following conditions:
• There is room in the receive buffer for the data.
• MCE is set to 1 and the stop bit is also 1 (8-bit mode).
• MCE is set to 1 and the 9th bit is also 1 (9-bit mode).
• MCE is 0 (stop or 9th bit will be ignored).
In the event that there is not room in the receive buffer for the data, the most recently received data will be lost. The RI flag will be set
any time that valid data has been pushed into the receive buffer. If RI interrupts are enabled, RI will trigger an interrupt. Firmware may
read the 8 LSBs of received data by reading the SBUF0 register. The RB8 bit in SCON0 will represent the 9th received bit (in 9-bit
mode) or the stop bit (in 8-bit mode), and should be read prior to reading SBUF0.
22.3.4 Multiprocessor Communications
9-Bit UART mode supports multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave processors by special
use of the ninth data bit. When a master processor wants to transmit to one or more slaves, it first sends an address byte to select the
target(s). An address byte differs from a data byte in that its ninth bit is logic 1; in a data byte, the ninth bit is always set to logic 0.
Setting the MCE bit of a slave processor configures its UART such that when a stop bit is received, the UART will generate an interrupt
only if the ninth bit is logic 1 (RB8 = 1) signifying an address byte has been received. In the UART interrupt handler, software will compare the received address with the slave's own assigned 8-bit address. If the addresses match, the slave will clear its MCE bit to enable
interrupts on the reception of the following data byte(s). Slaves that weren't addressed leave their MCE bits set and do not generate
interrupts on the reception of the following data bytes, thereby ignoring the data. Once the entire message is received, the addressed
slave resets its MCE bit to ignore all transmissions until it receives the next address byte.
Multiple addresses can be assigned to a single slave and/or a single address can be assigned to multiple slaves, thereby enabling
"broadcast" transmissions to more than one slave simultaneously. The master processor can be configured to receive all transmissions
or a protocol can be implemented such that the master/slave role is temporarily reversed to enable half-duplex transmission between
the original master and slave(s).

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter 1 (UART1)
23.3 Functional Description
23.3.1 Baud Rate Generation
The UART1 baud rate is generated by a dedicated 16-bit timer which runs from the controller’s core clock (SYSCLK), and has prescaler
options of 1, 4, 12, or 48. The timer and prescaler options combined allow for a wide selection of baud rates over many SYSCLK frequencies.
The baud rate generator is configured using three registers: SBCON1, SBRLH1, and SBRLL1. The SBCON1 register enables or disables the baud rate generator, and selects the prescaler value for the timer. The baud rate generator must be enabled for UART1 to
function. Registers SBRLH1 and SBRLL1 constitute a 16-bit reload value (SBRL1) for the dedicated 16-bit timer. The internal timer
counts up from the reload value on every clock tick. On timer overflows (0xFFFF to 0x0000), the timer is reloaded. For reliable UART
receive operation, it is typically recommended that the UART baud rate does not exceed SYSCLK/16.
Figure 23.2. Baud Rate Generation
23.3.2 Data Format
UART1 has a number of available options for data formatting. Data transfers begin with a start bit (logic low), followed by the data bits
(sent LSB-first), a parity or extra bit (if selected), and end with one or two stop bits (logic high). The data length is variable between 5
and 8 bits. A parity bit can be appended to the data, and automatically generated and detected by hardware for even, odd, mark, or
space parity. The stop bit length is selectable between short (1 bit time) and long (1.5 or 2 bit times), and a multi-processor communication mode is available for implementing networked UART buses.
All of the data formatting options can be configured using the SMOD1 register. Note that the extra bit feature is not available when
parity is enabled, and the second stop bit is only an option for data lengths of 6, 7, or 8 bits.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter 1 (UART1)
23.3.3 Flow Control
The UART provides hardware flow control via the CTS and RTS pins. CTS and RTS may be individually enabled using the crossbar,
may be operated independently of one another, and are active only when enabled through the crossbar.
The CTS pin is an input to the device. When CTS is held high, the UART will finish any byte transfer that is currently in progress, and
then will halt before sending any more data. CTS must be returned low before data transfer will continue.
The RTS pin is an output from the device. When the receive buffer is full, RTS will toggle high. When data has been read from the
buffer and there is additional room available, RTS will be cleared low.
23.3.4 Basic Data Transfer
UART1 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication. All data sent or received goes through the SBUF1 register, and
(when an extra bit is enabled) the RBX bit in the SCON1 register.
Transmitting Data
Data transmission is initiated when software writes a data byte to the SBUF1 register. If XBE is set (extra bit enable), software should
set up the desired extra bit in TBX prior to writing SBUF1. Data is transmitted LSB first from the TX pin. The TI flag in SCON1 is set at
the end of the transmission (at the beginning of the stop-bit time). If TI interrupts are enabled, TI will trigger an interrupt.
Receiving Data
To enable data reception, firmware should write the REN bit to 1. Data reception begins when a start condition is recognized on the RX
pin. Data will be received at the selected baud rate through the end of the data phase. Data will be transferred into the receive buffer
under the following conditions:
• There is room in the receive buffer for the data.
• MCE is set to 1 and the stop bit is also 1 (XBE = 0).
• MCE is set to 1 and the extra bit is also 1 (XBE = 1).
• MCE is 0 (stop or extra bit will be ignored).
In the event that there is not room in the receive buffer for the data, the most recently received data will be lost. The RI flag will be set
any time that valid data has been pushed into the receive buffer. If RI interrupts are enabled, RI will trigger an interrupt. Firmware may
read the 8 LSBs of received data by reading the SBUF1 register. The RBX bit in SCON1 will represent the extra received bit or the stop
bit, depending on whether XBE is enabled. If the extra bit is enabled, it should be read prior to reading SBUF1.
23.3.5 Data Transfer With FIFO
UART1 includes receive and transmit buffers to reduce the amount of overhead required for system interrupts. In applications requiring
higher baud rates, the FIFOs may also be used to allow for additional latency when servicing interrupts. The transmit FIFO may be preloaded with additional bytes to maximize the outgoing throughput, while the receive FIFO allows the UART to continue receiving additional bytes of data between firmware reads. Configurable thresholds may be set by firmware to dictate when interrupts will be generated, and a receive timeout feature keeps received data from being orphaned in the receive buffer.
Both the receive and transmit FIFOs are configured using the UART1FCN0 and UART1FCN1 registers, and the number of bytes in the
FIFOs may be determined at any time by reading UART1FCT.

Preliminary Rev. 0.2 | 346
EFM8BB3 Reference Manual
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter 1 (UART1)
Using the Transmit FIFO
Prior to using the transmit FIFO, the appropriate configuration settings for the application should be established:
• The TXTH field should be adjusted to the desired level. TXTH determines when the hardware will generate write requests and set
the TXRQ flag. TXTH acts as a low watermark for the FIFO data, and the TXRQ flag will be set any time the number of bytes in the
FIFO is less than or equal to the value of TXTH. For example, if the TXTH field is configured to 1, TXRQ will be set any time there
are zero or one bytes left to send in the transmit FIFO.
• Disable TI interrupts by clearing the TIE bit to 0. TI will still be set at the completion of every byte sent from the UART, but the TI flag
is typically not used in conjunction with the FIFO.
• Enable TFRQ interrupts by setting the TFRQE bit to 1.
As with basic data transfer, data transmission is initiated when software writes a data byte to the SBUF1 register. However, software
may continue to write bytes to the buffer until the transmit FIFO is full. Software may determine when the FIFO is full either by reading
the TXCNT directly from UART1FCT, or by monitoring the TXNF flag. TXNF is normally set to 1 when the transmit FIFO is not full,
indicating that more data may be written. Any data written to SBUF1 when the transmit FIFO is full will over-write the most recent data
written to the buffer, and a data byte will be lost.
In the course of normal operations, the transmit FIFO may be maintained with an interrupt-based system, filling the FIFO as space allows and servicing any write request interrupts that occur. If no more data is to be sent for some period of time, the TFRQ interrupt
should be disabled by firmware until additional data will be sent.
In some situations, it may be necessary to halt transmission when there is still data in the FIFO. To do this, firmware should set the
TXHOLD bit to 1. If a data byte is currently in progress, the UART will finish sending that byte and then halt before the nxet data byte.
Trasnmission will not continue until TXHOLD is cleared to 0.
If it is necessary to flush the contents of the transmit FIFO entirely, firmware may do so by writing the TFLSH bit to 1. A flush will reset
the internal FIFO counters and the UART will cease sending data.
Note: Hardware will clear the TFLSH bit back to 0 when the flush operation is complete. This takes only one SYSCLK cycle, so firmware will always read a 0 on this bit.
Using the Receive FIFO
The receive FIFO also has configuration settings which should be established prior to enabling UART reception:
• The RXTH field should be adjusted to the desired level. RXTH determines when the hardware will generate read requests and set
the RXRQ flag. RXTH acts as a high watermark for the FIFO data, and the RXRQ flag will be set any time the number of bytes in the
FIFO is greater than the value of RXTH. For example, if the RXTH field is configured to 0, RXRQ will be set any time there is at least
one byte in the receive FIFO.
• (Optional) Disable RI interrupt by clearing the RIE bit to 0. The RI bit is still used in conjunction with receive FIFO operation - any
time RI is set to 1, it indicates that the receive FIFO has more data. In most applications, it is more efficient to use the RXTH field to
allow multiple bytes to be received between interrupts.
• (Optional) Enable RFRQ interrupts by setting the RFRQE bit to 1, and configure the RXTO field to enable receive timeouts. Receive
timeouts may be adjusted using the RXTO field, to occur after 2, 4, or 16 idle periods without any activity on the RX pin. An "idle
period" is defined as the full length of one transfer at the current baud rate, including start, stop, data, and any additional bits.
Once the receive buffer parameters and interrupts are configured, firmware should write the REN bit to 1 to enable data reception. Data
reception begins when a start condition is recognized on the RX pin. Data will be received at the selected baud rate through the end of
the data phase. Data will be transferred into the receive buffer under the following conditions:
• There is room in the receive buffer for the data.
• MCE is set to 1 and the stop bit is also 1 (XBE = 0).
• MCE is set to 1 and the extra bit is also 1 (XBE = 1).
• MCE is 0 (stop or extra bit will be ignored).
In the event that there is not room in the receive buffer for the data, the most recently received data will be lost.
The RI flag will be set any time an unread data byte is in the buffer (RXCNT is not equal to 0). Firmware may read the 8 LSBs of
received data by reading the SBUF1 register. The RBX bit in SCON1 will represent the extra received bit or the stop bit, depending on
whether XBE is enabled. If the extra bit is enabled, it should be read prior to reading SBUF1. Firmware may continue to read the receive buffer until it is empty (RI will be cleared to 0). If firmware reads the buffer while it is empty, the most recent data byte will be
returned again.
If it is necessary to flush the contents of the receive FIFO entirely, firmware may do so by writing the RFLSH bit to 1. A flush will reset
the internal FIFO counters and any data in the buffer will be lost.
Note: Hardware will clear the RFLSH bit back to 0 when the flush operation is complete. This takes only one SYSCLK cycle, so firmware will always read a 0 on this bit.

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter 1 (UART1)
23.3.6 Multiprocessor Communications
UART1 supports multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave processors by special use of the
extra data bit. When a master processor wants to transmit to one or more slaves, it first sends an address byte to select the target(s).
An address byte differs from a data byte in that its extra bit is logic 1; in a data byte, the extra bit is always set to logic 0.
Setting the MCE bit and the XBE bit in the SMOD1 register configures the UART for multi-processor communications. When a stop bit
is received, the UART will generate an interrupt only if the extra bit is logic 1 (RBX = 1) signifying an address byte has been received. In
the UART interrupt handler, software will compare the received address with the slave's own assigned address. If the addresses match,
the slave will clear its MCE bit to enable interrupts on the reception of the following data byte(s). Slaves that weren't addressed leave
their MCE bits set and do not generate interrupts on the reception of the following data bytes, thereby ignoring the data. Once the entire
message is received, the addressed slave resets its MCE bit to ignore all transmissions until it receives the next address byte.
Multiple addresses can be assigned to a single slave and/or a single address can be assigned to multiple slaves, thereby enabling
"broadcast" transmissions to more than one slave simultaneously. The master processor can be configured to receive all transmissions
or a protocol can be implemented such that the master/slave role is temporarily reversed to enable half-duplex transmission between
the original master and slave(s).

23.3.7 LIN Break and Sync Detect
UART1 contains dedicated hardware to assist firmware in LIN slave applications. It includes automatic detection of LIN break and sync
fields, and can optionally perform automatic baud rate adjustment based on the LIN 0x55 sync word.
The LIN features are enabled by setting the LINMDE bit in UART1LIN to enable LIN mode. When enabled, both break and sync detection will be enabled for all incoming data. The circuitry can detect a break-sync sequence in the middle of an incoming data stream and
react accordingly.
The UART will indicate that a break has been detected by setting the BREAKDN flag to 1. Likewise, hardware will set the SYNCD bit if
a valid sync is detected, and the SYNCTO bit will indicate if a sync timeout has occured. The break done and sync flags may be individually enabled to generate UART1 interrupts by setting the BREAKDNIE, SYNCDIE, and SYNCTOIE bits to 1.
23.3.8 Autobaud Detection
Automatic baud rate detection and adjustment is supported by the UART. Autobaud may be enabled by setting the AUTOBDE bit in the
UART1LIN register to 1. Although the autobaud feature is primarily targeted at LIN applications, it may be used stand-alone as well.
For use in LIN applications, the LINMDE bit should be set to 1. This requires that the UART see a valid LIN break, followed by a delimiter, and then a valid LIN sync word (0x55) before adjusting the baud rate. When used in LIN mode, the autobaud detection circuit may
be left on during normal communications.
If LIN mode is not enabled (LINMDE = 0), the autobaud detection circuit will expect to see an 0x55 word on the received data path. The
autobaud detection circuit operates by measuring the amount of time it takes to receive a sync word (0x55), and then adjusting the
SBRL register value according to the measured time, given the current prescale settings.
Important: Because there is no break involved, when autobaud is used in non-LIN applications, it is important that the autobaud circuit
only be enabled when the receiver is expecting an 0x55 sync byte. The SYNCD flag will be set upon detection of the sync byte, and
firmware should disable auto-baud once the sync detection flag has been set.
The autobaud feature counts the number of prescaled clocks starting from the first rising edge of the sync field and ending on the last
rising edge of the sync field. For 1% accuracy, the prescaler, system clock, and baud rate must be selected such that there are at least

Precision Reference (VREF0)
24. Precision Reference (VREF0)
24.1 Introduction
A precision voltage reference is included on-chip. The precision reference may be used to provide the voltage reference for the ADC,
DACs, or used by other circuitry connected to the VREF pin.
24.2 Features
The precision voltage reference includes the following features:
• Stable and production-trimmed.
• Routes to VREF pin to source off-chip analog circuits.
• Two selectable leverls: 1.2 V and 2.4 V.
24.3 Using the Precision Reference
The precision reference source has one control field, VREFSL located in the REF0CN register. VREFSL selects the output voltage for
the reference. When set to NONE, the precision refeence is off, and will not be connected to the VREF pin. The VREF_1P2 and
VREF_2P4 settings both enable the reference and connect it to the VREF pin. VREF should be configured for analog mode when the
reference is used, and an external bypass capacitor of at least 0.1 μF to ground is required.

Watchdog Timer (WDT0)
25. Watchdog Timer (WDT0)
25.1 Introduction
The device includes a programmable watchdog timer (WDT) running off the low-frequency oscillator. A WDT overflow forces the MCU
into the reset state. To prevent the reset, the WDT must be restarted by application software before overflow. If the system experiences
a software or hardware malfunction preventing the software from restarting the WDT, the WDT overflows and causes a reset.
Following a reset, the WDT is automatically enabled and running with the default maximum time interval. If needed, the WDT can be
disabled by system software or locked on to prevent accidental disabling. Once locked, the WDT cannot be disabled until the next system reset. The state of the RSTb pin is unaffected by this reset.
The WDT consists of an internal timer running from the low-frequency oscillator. The timer measures the period between specific writes
to its control register. If this period exceeds the programmed limit, a WDT reset is generated. The WDT can be enabled and disabled as
needed in software, or can be permanently enabled if desired. When the WDT is active, the low-frequency oscillator is forced on. All
watchdog features are controlled via the Watchdog Timer Control Register (WDTCN).

25.2 Features
The watchdog timer includes a 16-bit timer with a programmable reset period. The registers are protected from inadvertent access by
an independent lock and key interface.
The Watchdog Timer has the following features:
• Programmable timeout interval
• Runs from the low-frequency oscillator
• Lock-out feature to prevent any modification until a system reset
25.3 Using the Watchdog Timer
Enabling/Resetting the WDT
The watchdog timer is both enabled and reset by writing 0xA5 to the WDTCN register. The user's application software should include
periodic writes of 0xA5 to WDTCN as needed to prevent a watchdog timer overflow. The WDT is enabled and reset as a result of any
system reset.

Watchdog Timer (WDT0)
Disabling the WDT
Writing 0xDE followed by 0xAD to the WDTCN register disables the WDT. The following code segment illustrates disabling the WDT:
CLR EA
MOV WDTCN,#0DEh
MOV WDTCN,#0ADh
SETB EA
; disable all interrupts
; disable software watchdog timer
; re-enable interrupts
The writes of 0xDE and 0xAD must occur within 4 clock cycles of each other, or the disable operation is ignored. Interrupts should be
disabled during this procedure to avoid delay between the two writes.
Disabling the WDT Lockout
Writing 0xFF to WDTCN locks out the disable feature. Once locked out, the disable operation is ignored until the next system reset.
Writing 0xFF does not enable or reset the watchdog timer. Applications always intending to use the watchdog should write 0xFF to
WDTCN in the initialization code.
Setting the WDT Interval
WDTCN.[2:0] controls the watchdog timeout interval. The interval is given by the following equation, where TLFOSC is the low-frequency
oscillator clock period:
T LFOSC × 4(WDTCN 2:0 +3)
This provides a nominal interval range of 0.8 ms to 13.1 s when LFOSC0 is configured to run at 80 kHz. WDTCN.7 must be logic 0
when setting this interval. Reading WDTCN returns the programmed interval. WDTCN.[2:0] reads 111b after a system reset.

WDT Control.
The WDT control field has different behavior for reads and writes.
Read:
When reading the WDTCN register, the lower three bits (WDTCN[2:0]) indicate the current timeout interval. Bit WDTCN.4
indicates whether the WDT is active (logic 1) or inactive (logic 0).
Write:
Writing the WDTCN register can set the timeout interval, enable the WDT, disable the WDT, reset the WDT, or lock the
WDT to prevent disabling.
Writing to WDTCN with the MSB (WDTCN.7) cleared to 0 will set the timeout interval to the value in bits WDTCN[2:0].
Writing 0xA5 both enables and reloads the WDT.
Writing 0xDE followed within 4 system clocks by 0xAD disables the WDT.
Writing 0xFF locks out the disable feature until the next device reset.

C2 Debug and Programming Interface
26. C2 Debug and Programming Interface
26.1 Introduction
The device includes an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface that allows flash programming and in-system debugging with
the production part installed in the end application. The C2 interface uses a clock signal (C2CK) and a bi-directional C2 data signal
(C2D) to transfer information between the device and a host system. Details on the C2 protocol can be found in the C2 Interface Specification.
26.2 Features
The C2 interface provides the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
In-system device programming and debugging.
Non-intrusive - no firmware or hardware peripheral resources required.
Allows inspection and modification of all memory spaces and registers.
Provides hardware breakpoints and single-step capabilites.
Can be locked via flash security mechanism to prevent unwanted access.
26.3 Pin Sharing
The C2 protocol allows the C2 pins to be shared with user functions so that in-system debugging and flash programming may be performed. C2CK is shared with the RSTb pin, while the C2D signal is shared with a port I/O pin. This is possible because C2 communication is typically performed when the device is in the halt state, where all on-chip peripherals and user software are stalled. In this halted
state, the C2 interface can safely "borrow" the C2CK and C2D pins. In most applications, external resistors are required to isolate C2
interface traffic from the user application.

Figure 26.1. Typical C2 Pin Sharing
The configuration above assumes the following:
• The user input (b) cannot change state while the target device is halted.
• The RSTb pin on the target device is used as an input only.
Additional resistors may be necessary depending on the specific application.
