7. Special function registers
Remark: Special Function Registers (SFRs) accesses are restricted in the following
ways:
• User must not attempt to access any SFR locations not defined.
• Accesses to any defined SFR locations must be strictly for the functions for the
SFRs.
• SFR bits labeled ‘-’, ‘0’ or ‘1’ can only be written and read as follows:
– ‘-’ Unless otherwise specified, must be written with ‘0’, but can return any value
when read (even if it was written with ‘0’). It is a reserved bit and may be used in
future derivatives.
– ‘0’ must be written with ‘0’, and will return a ‘0’ when read.
– ‘1’ must be written with ‘1’, and will return a ‘1’ when read.

8. Functional description
Remark: Please refer to the P87LPC779 User’s Manual for a more detailed
functional description.
8.1 Enhanced CPU
The P87LPC779 uses an enhanced 80C51 CPU which runs at twice the speed of
standard 80C51 devices. This means that the performance of the P87LPC779
running at 5 MHz is exactly the same as that of a standard 80C51 running at 10 MHz.
A machine cycle consists of 6 oscillator cycles, and most instructions execute in 6 or
12 clocks. A user configurable option allows restoring standard 80C51 execution
timing. In that case, a machine cycle becomes 12 oscillator cycles.
In the following sections, the term ‘CPU clock’ is used to refer to the clock that
controls internal instruction execution. This may sometimes be different from the
externally applied clock, as in the case where the part is configured for standard
80C51 timing by means of the CLKR configuration bit or in the case where the clock
is divided down via the setting of the DIVM register. These features are described in
the Section 8.10 “Oscillator” on page 34.
8.2 Analog functions
The P87LPC779 incorporates analog peripheral functions: an ADC, two Analog
Comparators, and two DACs. In order to give the best analog function performance
and to minimize power consumption, pins that are actually being used for analog
functions must have the digital outputs (except for the DAC output pins) and the
digital inputs must also be disabled.
Digital outputs are disabled by putting the port output into the Input Only (high
impedance) mode as described in the Section 8.9 “I/O ports” on page 29.
Digital inputs on port 0 may be disabled through the use of the PT0AD register. Each
bit in this register corresponds to one pin of Port 0. Setting the corresponding bit in
PT0AD disables that pin’s digital input. Port bits that have their digital inputs disabled
will be read as ‘0’ by any instruction that accesses the port.
8.3 Analog to digital converter
The P87LPC779 incorporates a four channel, 8-bit A/D converter. The A/D inputs are
alternate functions on four port 0 pins. Because the device has a very limited number
of pins, the A/D power supply and references are shared with the processor power
pins, VDD and VSS. The A/D converter operates down to a VDD supply of 3.0 V.
The A/D converter circuitry consists of a 4-input analog multiplexer and an 8-bit
successive approximation ADC. The A/D employs a ratiometric potentiometer which
guarantees DAC monotonicity.
The A/D converter is controlled by the special function register ADCON. Details of
ADCON are shown in Tables 4 and 5. The A/D must be enabled by setting the
ENADC bit at least 10 microseconds before a conversion is started, to allow time for

the A/D to stabilize. Prior to the beginning of an A/D conversion, one analog input pin
must be selected for conversion via the AADR1 and AADR0 bits. These bits cannot
be changed while the A/D is performing a conversion.
An A/D conversion is started by setting the ADCS bit, which remains set while the
conversion is in progress. When the conversion is complete, the ADCS bit is cleared
and the ADCI bit is set. When ADCI is set, it will generate an interrupt if the interrupt
system is enabled, the A/D interrupt is enabled (via the EAD bit in the IE1 register),
and the A/D interrupt is the highest priority pending interrupt.
When a conversion is complete, the result is contained in the register DAC0 and can
be read to get the ADC result. This value will not change until another conversion is
started. Before another A/D conversion may be started, the ADCI bit must be cleared
by software. The A/D channel selection may be changed by the same instruction that
sets ADCS to start a new conversion, but not by the same instruction that clears
ADCI.
The connections of the A/D converter are shown in Figure 5.
The ideal A/D result may be calculated as follows:

8.4 A/D timing
The A/D may be clocked in one of two ways. The default is to use the CPU clock as
the A/D clock source. When used in this manner, the A/D completes a conversion in
31 machine cycles. The A/D may be operated up to the maximum CPU clock rate of
20 MHz, giving a conversion time of 9.3 µs. The formula for calculating A/D
conversion time when the CPU clock runs the A/D is: 186 µs / CPU clock rate
(in MHz). To obtain accurate A/D conversion results, the CPU clock must be at least
1 MHz.
The A/D may also be clocked by the on-chip RC oscillator, even if the RC oscillator is
not used as the CPU clock. This is accomplished by setting the RCCLK bit in
ADCON. This arrangement has several advantages. First, the A/D conversion time is
faster at lower CPU clock rates. Also, the CPU may be run at speeds below 1 MHz
without affecting A/D accuracy. Finally, the Power-down mode may be used to
completely shut down the CPU and its oscillator, along with other peripheral
functions, in order to obtain the best possible A/D accuracy.

When the A/D is operated from the RCCLK while the CPU is running from another
clock source, 3 or 4 machine cycles are used to synchronize A/D operation. The time
can range from a minimum of 3 machine cycles (at the CPU clock rate) + 108 RC
clocks to a maximum of 4 machine cycles (at the CPU clock rate) + 112 RC clocks.
Example A/D conversion times at various CPU clock rates are shown in Table 8. In
the table, maximum times for RCCLK = 1 use an RC clock frequency of 6 MHz.
Minimum times for RCCLK = 1 use an RC clock frequency of. Nominal time assume
an ideal RC clock frequency of 6 MHz and an average of 3.5 machine cycles at the
CPU clock rate.

The A/D in Power-down and Idle modes
While using the CPU clock as the A/D clock source, the Idle mode may be used to
conserve power and/or to minimize system noise during the conversion. CPU
operation will resume and Idle mode terminate automatically when a conversion is
complete if the A/D interrupt is active. In Idle mode, noise from the CPU itself is
eliminated, but noise from the oscillator and any other on-chip peripherals that are
running will remain.
The CPU may be put into Power-down mode when the A/D is clocked by the on-chip
RC oscillator (RCCLK = 1). This mode gives the best possible A/D accuracy by
eliminating most on-chip noise sources.
If the Power-down mode is entered while the A/D is running from the CPU clock
(RCCLK = 0), the A/D will abort operation and will not wake up the CPU. The
contents of DAC0 will be invalid when operation does resume.

P87LPC779
Philips Semiconductors
CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
When an A/D conversion is started, Power-down or Idle mode must be activated
within two machine cycles in order to have the most accurate A/D result. These two
machine cycles are counted at the CPU clock rate. When using the A/D with either
Power-down or Idle mode, care must be taken to insure that the CPU is not restarted
by another interrupt until the A/D conversion is complete. The possible causes of
wake-up are different in Power-down and Idle modes.
A/D accuracy is also affected by noise generated elsewhere in the application, power
supply noise, and power supply regulation. Since the P87LPC779 power pins are
also used as the A/D reference and supply, the power supply has a very direct affect
on the accuracy of A/D readings. Using the A/D without Power-down mode while the
clock is divided through the use of CLKR or DIVM has an adverse effect on A/D
accuracy.

The first piece of sample code shows an example of port configuration for use with
the A/D. This example sets up the pins so that all four A/D channels may be used.

8.5 Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) outputs
The P87LPC779 provides a two channel, 8-bit DAC function. DAC0 is also part of the
A/D Converter and is should not be enabled while the A/D is active. The DAC outputs
function down to a VDD of 3.0 V. Digital outputs must be disabled on the DAC output
pins while the corresponding DAC is enabled, as described in Section 8.2 “Analog
functions” on page 12.
The DACs use the power supply as the references: VDD as the upper reference and
VSS as the lower reference. The DAC output is generated by a tap from a resistor
ladder and is not buffered. The maximum resistance to VDD or VSS from a DAC output
is 10 kΩ. Care must be taken with the loading of the DAC outputs in order to avoid
distortion of the output voltage. DAC accuracy is affected by noise generated on-chip
and elsewhere in the application. Since the P87LPC779 power pins are used for the
DAC references, the power supply also affects the accuracy of the DAC outputs.
The ideal DAC output may be calculated as follows:

negative input (selectable from a pin or an internal reference voltage). Otherwise the
output is a zero. Each comparator may be configured to cause an interrupt when the
output value changes.
8.6.1
Comparator configuration
Each comparator has a control register, CMP1 for comparator 1 and CMP2 for
comparator 2. The control registers are identical and are shown in Tables 9 and 10.
The overall connections to both comparators are shown in Figure 7. There are eight
possible configurations for each comparator, as determined by the control bits in the
corresponding CMPn register: CPn, CNn, and OEn. These configurations are shown
in Figure 8. The comparators function down to a VDD of 3.0 V.
When each comparator is first enabled, the comparator output and interrupt flag are
not guaranteed to be stable for 10 µs. The corresponding comparator interrupt should
not be enabled during that time, and the comparator interrupt flag must be cleared
before the interrupt is enabled in order to prevent an immediate interrupt service.

8.6.3
Comparator interrupt
Each comparator has an interrupt flag CMFn contained in its configuration register.
This flag is set whenever the comparator output changes state. The flag may be
polled by software or may be used to generate an interrupt. The interrupt will be
generated when the corresponding enable bit ECn in the IEN1 register is set and the
interrupt system is enabled via the EA bit in the IEN0 register.
8.6.4
Comparators and power reduction modes
Either or both comparators may remain enabled when Power-down or Idle mode is
activated. The comparators will continue to function in the power reduction mode. If a
comparator interrupt is enabled, a change of the comparator output state will
generate an interrupt and wake up the processor. If the comparator output to a pin is
enabled, the pin should be configured in the push-pull mode in order to obtain fast
switching times while in Power-down mode. The reason is that with the oscillator
stopped, the temporary strong pull-up that normally occurs during switching on a
quasi-bidirectional port pin does not take place.
Comparators consume power in Power-down and Idle modes, as well as in the
normal operating mode. This fact should be taken into account when system power
consumption is an issue.
8.6.5
Comparator configuration example

8.7 I2C-bus serial interface
The I2C-bus uses two wires (SDA and SCL) to transfer information between devices
connected to the bus. The main features of the bus are:
• Bidirectional data transfer between masters and slaves.
• Serial addressing of slaves (no added wiring).

CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
• Acknowledgment after each transferred byte.
• Multimaster bus.
• Arbitration between simultaneously transmitting masters without corruption of
serial data on bus.
The I2C-bus subsystem includes hardware to simplify the software required to drive
the I2C-bus. The hardware is a single bit interface which in addition to including the
necessary arbitration and framing error checks, includes clock stretching and a bus
timeout timer. The interface is synchronized to software either through polled loops or
interrupts. Refer to the application note AN422, in Section 4, entitled ‘Using the
8XC751 Microcontroller as an I2C-bus Master’ for additional discussion of the
87C77x I2C-bus interface and sample driver routines.
Six time spans are important in I2C-bus operation and are insured by timer I:
• The MINIMUM HIGH time for SCL when this device is the master.
• The MINIMUM LOW time for SCL when this device is a master. This is not very
important for a single-bit hardware interface like this one, because the SCL low
time is stretched until the software responds to the I2C-bus flags. The software
response time normally meets or exceeds the MIN LO time. In cases where the
software responds within MIN HI + MIN LO) time, timer I will ensure that the
minimum time is met.
• The MINIMUM SCL HIGH TO SDA HIGH time in a stop condition.
• The MINIMUM SDA HIGH TO SDA LOW time between I2C-bus stop and start
conditions (4.7 ms, see I2C-bus specification).
• The MINIMUM SDA LOW TO SCL LOW time in a start condition.
The MAXIMUM SCL CHANGE time while an I2C-bus frame is in progress. A frame is
in progress between a start condition and the following stop condition. This time span
serves to detect a lack of software response on this device as well as external
I2C-bus problems. SCL ‘stuck low’ indicates a faulty master or slave. SCL ‘stuck high’
may mean a faulty device, or that noise induced onto the I2C-bus caused all masters
to withdraw from I2C-bus arbitration.
The first five of these times are 4.7 ms (see I2C-bus specification) and are covered by
the low order three bits of timer I. Timer I is clocked by the 87LPC77987 CPU clock.
Timer I can be pre-loaded with one of four values to optimize timing for different
oscillator frequencies. At lower frequencies, software response time is increased and
will degrade maximum performance of the I2C-bus. See special function register
I2CFG description for prescale values (CT0, CT1).
The MAXIMUM SCL CHANGE time is important, but its exact span is not critical. The
complete 10 bits of timer I are used to count out the maximum time. When I2C-bus
operation is enabled, this counter is cleared by transitions on the SCL pin. The timer
does not run between I2C-bus frames (i.e., whenever reset or stop occurred more
recently than the last start). When this counter is running, it will carry out after 1020 to
1023 machine cycles have elapsed since a change on SCL. A carry out causes a
hardware reset of the I2C-bus interface. In cases where the bus hang-up is due to a
lack of software response by this device, the reset releases SCL and allows I2C-bus
operation among other devices to continue.

8.7.1
I2C-bus interrupts
If I2C-bus interrupts are enabled (EA and EI2 are both set to 1), an I2C-bus interrupt
will occur whenever the ATN flag is set by a start, stop, arbitration loss, or data ready
condition (refer to the description of ATN following). In practice, it is not efficient to
operate the I2C-bus interface in this fashion because the I2C-bus interrupt service
routine would somehow have to distinguish between hundreds of possible conditions.
Also, since I2C-bus can operate at a fairly high rate, the software may execute faster if
the code simply waits for the I2C-bus interface.
Typically, the I2C-bus interrupt should only be used to indicate a start condition at an
idle slave device, or a stop condition at an idle master device (if it is waiting to use the
I2C-bus). This is accomplished by enabling the I2C-bus interrupt only during the
aforementioned conditions.

should never be altered by use of the SETB, CLR, CPL, MOV (bit), or JBC instructions. This is due to
the fact that read and write functions of this register are different. Testing of I2CON bits via the JB and
JNB instructions is supported.

8.7.2
Reading I2CON
RDAT — The data from SDA is captured into ‘Receive DATa’ whenever a rising edge
occurs on SCL. RDAT is also available (with seven low-order zeros) in the I2DAT
register. The difference between reading it here and there is that reading I2DAT
clears DRDY, allowing the I2C-bus to proceed on to another bit. Typically, the first
seven bits of a received byte are read from I2DAT, while the 8th is read here. Then
I2DAT can be written to send the Acknowledge bit and clear DRDY.
ATN — ‘ATteNtion’ is ‘1’ when one or more of DRDY, ARL, STR, or STP is ‘1’. Thus,
ATN comprises a single bit that can be tested to release the I2C-bus service routine
from a ‘wait loop.’
DRDY — ‘Data ReaDY’ (and thus ATN) is set when a rising edge occurs on SCL,
except at idle slave. DRDY is cleared by writing CDR = 1, or by writing or reading the
I2DAT register. The following low period on SCL is stretched until the program
responds by clearing DRDY.
8.7.3
Checking ATN and DRDY
When a program detects ATN = ‘1’, it should next check DRDY. If DRDY = ‘1’, then if it
receives the last bit, it should capture the data from RDAT (in I2DAT or I2CON). Next,
if the next bit is to be sent, it should be written to I2DAT. One way or another, it should
clear DRDY and then return to monitoring ATN. Note that if any of ARL, STR, or STP
is set, clearing DRDY will not release SCL to HIGH, so that the I2C-bus will not go on
to the next bit. If a program detects ATN = ‘1’, and DRDY = ‘0’, it should go on to
examine ARL, STR, and STP.
ARL — ‘Arbitration Loss’ is ‘1’ when transmit Active was set, but this device lost
arbitration to another transmitter. Transmit Active is cleared when ARL is ‘1’. There
are four separate cases in which ARL is set:
1. If the program sent a ‘1’ or repeated start, but another device sent a ‘0’, or a stop,
so that SDA is ‘0’ at the rising edge of SCL. (If the other device sent a stop, the
setting of ARL will be followed shortly by STP being set.)
2. If the program sent a ‘1’, but another device sent a repeated start, and it drove
SDA LOW before SCL could be driven LOW. (This type of ARL is always
accompanied by STR = ‘1’.)
3. In master mode, if the program sent a repeated start, but another device sent a
‘1’, and it drove SCL LOW before this device could drive SDA LOW.
4. In master mode, if the program sent stop, but it could not be sent because
another device sent a ‘0’.
STR — ‘STaRt’ is set to a ‘1’ when an I2C-bus start condition is detected at a non-idle
slave or at a master. (STR is not set when an idle slave becomes active due to a start
bit; the slave has nothing useful to do until the rising edge of SCL sets DRDY.)
STP — ‘SToP’ is set to ‘1’ when an I2C-bus stop condition is detected at a non-idle
slave or at a master. (STP is not set for a stop condition at an idle slave.)
MASTER — ‘MASTER’ is ‘1’ if this device is currently a master on the I2C-bus.
MASTER is set when MASTRQ is ‘1’ and the bus is not busy (i.e., if a start bit hasn’t
been received since reset or a ‘Timer I’ time-out, or if a stop has been received since
the last start). MASTER is cleared when ARL is set, or after the software writes
MASTRQ = ‘0’ and then XSTP = ‘1’.

8.7.4
Writing I2CON
Typically, for each bit in an I2C-bus message, a service routine waits for ATN = 1.
Based on DRDY, ARL, STR, and STP, and on the current bit position in the message,
it may then write I2CON with one or more of the following bits, or it may read or write
the I2DAT register.
CXA — Writing a ‘1’ to ‘Clear Xmit Active’ clears the Transmit Active state. (Reading
the I2DAT register also does this.)
8.7.5
Regarding Transmit Active
Transmit Active is set by writing the I2DAT register, or by writing I2CON with
XSTR = 1 or XSTP = 1. The I2C-bus interface will only drive the SDA line low when
Transmit Active is set, and the ARL bit will only be set to ‘1’ when Transmit Active is
set. Transmit Active is cleared by reading the I2DAT register, or by writing I2CON with
CXA = 1. Transmit Active is automatically cleared when ARL is ‘1’.
IDLE — Writing ‘1’ to ‘IDLE’ causes a slave’s I2C-bus hardware to ignore the I2C-bus
until the next start condition (but if MASTRQ is ‘1’, then a stop condition will cause
this device to become a master).
CDR — Writing a ‘1’ to ‘Clear Data Ready' clears DRDY. (Reading or writing the
I2DAT register also does this.)
CARL — Writing a ‘1’ to ‘Clear Arbitration Loss’ clears the ARL bit.
CSTR — Writing a ‘1’ to ‘Clear STaRt’ clears the STR bit.
CSTP — Writing a ‘1’ to ‘Clear SToP’ clears the STP bit. Note that if one or more of
DRDY, ARL, STR, or STP is ‘1’, the low time of SCL is stretched until the service
routine responds by clearing them.
XSTR — Writing ‘1’s to ‘Xmit repeated STaRt’ and CDR tells the I2C-bus hardware to
send a repeated start condition. This should only be at a master. Note that XSTR
need not and should not be used to send an ‘initial’ (non-repeated) start; it is sent
automatically by the I2C-bus hardware. Writing XSTR = ‘1’ includes the effect of
writing I2DAT with XDAT = ‘1’; it sets Transmit Active and releases SDA to HIGH
during the SCL low time. After SCL goes HIGH, the I2C-bus hardware waits for the
suitable minimum time and then drives SDA low to make the start condition.
XSTP — Writing 1s to ‘Xmit SToP’ and CDR tells the I2C-bus hardware to send a stop
condition. This should only be done at a master. If there are no more messages to
initiate, the service routine should clear the MASTRQ bit in I2CFG to ‘0’ before writing
XSTP with ‘1’. Writing XSTP = ‘1’ includes the effect of writing I2DAT with XDAT = ‘0’;
it sets Transmit Active and drives SDA low during the SCL low time. After SCL goes
HIGH, the I2C-bus hardware waits for the suitable minimum time and then releases
SDA to HIGH to make the stop condition.

Regarding software response time
Because the P87LPC779 can run at 20 MHz, and because the I2C-bus interface is
optimized for high-speed operation, it is quite likely that an I2C-bus service routine will
sometimes respond to DRDY (which is set at a rising edge of SCL) and write I2DAT
before SCL has gone low again. If XDAT were applied directly to SDA, this situation
would produce an I2C-bus protocol violation. The programmer need not worry about
this possibility because XDAT is applied to SDA only when SCL is low.
Conversely, a program that includes an I2C-bus service routine may take a long time
to respond to DRDY. Typically, an I2C-bus routine operates on a flag-polling basis
during a message, with interrupts from other peripheral functions enabled. If an
interrupt occurs, it will delay the response of the I2C-bus service routine. The
programmer need not worry about this very much either, because the I2C-bus
hardware stretches the SCL low time until the service routine responds. The only
constraint on the response is that it must not exceed the Timer I time-out.

Slave Enable. Writing a ‘1’ this bit enables the slave functions of

by an I2C-bus time-out.

MASTRQ
Master Request. Writing a ‘1’ to this bit requests mastership of the
I2C-bus. If a transmission is in progress when this bit is changed
from ‘0’ to ‘1’, action is delayed until a stop condition is detected. A
start condition is sent and DRDY is set (thus making ATN = ‘1’ and
generating an I2C-bus interrupt). When a master wishes to release
mastership status of the I2C-bus, it writes a ‘1’ to XSTP in I2CON.
MASTRQ is cleared by an I2C-bus time-out.

CT1, CT0
These two bits are programmed as a function of the CPU clock
rate, to optimize the MIN HI and LO time of SCL when this device
is a master on the I2C-bus. The time value determined by these
bits controls both of these parameters, and also the timing for stop
and start conditions.
Values to be used in the CT1 and CT0 bits are shown in Table 18. To allow the
I2C-bus to run at the maximum rate for a particular oscillator frequency, compare the
actual oscillator rate to the fosc max column in the table. The value for CT1 and CT0 is
found in the first line of the table where CPU clock max is greater than or equal to the
actual frequency. Table 18 also shows the machine cycle count for various settings of
CT1/CT0. This allows calculation of the actual minimum high and low times for SCL
as follows:
6 * min time count
SCL min high/low time (in microseconds) = -----------------------------------------------CPUclock (in MHz)
(3)
For instance, at an 8 MHz frequency, with CT1/CT0 set to 1 0, the minimum SCL high
and low times will be 5.25 µs. Table 18 also shows the Timer I timeout period (given
in machine cycles) for each CT1/CT0 combination. The timeout period varies
because of the way in which minimum SCL high and low times are measured. When
the I2C-bus interface is operating, Timer I is pre-loaded at every SCL transition with a
value dependent upon CT1/CT0. The pre-load value is chosen such that a minimum
SCL high or low time has elapsed when Timer I reaches a count of 008 (the actual
value pre-loaded into Timer I is 8 minus the machine cycle count).

8.8 Interrupts
The P87LPC779 uses a four priority level interrupt structure. This allows great
flexibility in controlling the handling of the P87LPC779’s many interrupt sources. The
P87LPC779 supports up to 13 interrupt sources.
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled by setting or clearing a
bit in registers IEN0 or IEN1. The IEN0 register also contains a global disable bit, EA,
which disables all interrupts at once.
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of four priority levels by
setting or clearing bits in the IP0, IP0H, IP1, and IP1H registers. An interrupt service
routine in progress can be interrupted by a higher priority interrupt, but not by another
interrupt of the same or lower priority. The highest priority interrupt service cannot be
interrupted by any other interrupt source. So, if two requests of different priority levels
are received simultaneously, the request of higher priority level is serviced.
If requests of the same priority level are received simultaneously, an internal polling
sequence determines which request is serviced. This is called the arbitration ranking.
Note that the arbitration ranking is only used to resolve simultaneous requests of the
same priority level.
Table 19 summarizes the interrupt sources, flag bits, vector addresses, enable bits,
priority bits, arbitration ranking, and whether each interrupt may wake up the CPU
from Power-down mode.

8.8.1
External interrupt inputs
The P87LPC779 has two individual interrupt inputs as well as the Keyboard Interrupt
function. The latter is described separately elsewhere in this section. The two
interrupt inputs are identical to those present on the standard 80C51 microcontroller.
The external sources can be programmed to be level-activated or transition-activated
by setting or clearing bit IT1 or IT0 in Register TCON. If ITn = 0, external interrupt n is
triggered by a detected low at the INTn pin. If ITn = 1, external interrupt n is edge
triggered. In this mode if successive samples of the INTn pin show a high in one cycle
and a low in the next cycle, interrupt request flag IEn in TCON is set, causing an
interrupt request.
Since the external interrupt pins are sampled once each machine cycle, an input high
or low should hold for at least 6 CPU Clocks to ensure proper sampling. If the
external interrupt is transition-activated, the external source has to hold the request
pin high for at least one machine cycle, and then hold it low for at least one machine
cycle. This is to ensure that the transition is seen and that interrupt request flag IEn is
set. IEn is automatically cleared by the CPU when the service routine is called.
If the external interrupt is level-activated, the external source must hold the request
active until the requested interrupt is actually generated. If the external interrupt is still
asserted when the interrupt service routine is completed another interrupt will be
generated. It is not necessary to clear the interrupt flag IEn when the interrupt is level
sensitive, it simply tracks the input pin level.
If an external interrupt is enabled when the P87LPC779 is put into Power-down or
Idle mode, the interrupt will cause the processor to wake up and resume operation.
Refer to Section 8.12 “Power reduction modes” on page 38 for details.

8.9 I/O ports
The P87LPC779 has 3 I/O ports, port 0, port 1, and port 2. The exact number of I/O
pins available depends upon the oscillator and reset options chosen. At least 15 pins
of the P87LPC779 may be used as I/Os when a two-pin external oscillator and an
external reset circuit are used. Up to 18 pins may be available if fully on-chip oscillator
and reset configurations are chosen.
All but three I/O port pins on the P87LPC779 may be software configured to one of
four types on a bit-by-bit basis, as shown in Table 20. These are: quasi-bidirectional
(standard 80C51 port outputs), push-pull, open drain, and input only. Two
configuration registers for each port choose the output type for each port pin.

Quasi-bidirectional output configuration
The default port output configuration for standard P87LPC779 I/O ports is the
quasi-bidirectional output that is common on the 80C51 and most of its derivatives.
This output type can be used as both an input and output without the need to
reconfigure the port. This is possible because when the port outputs a logic HIGH, it
is weakly driven, allowing an external device to pull the pin LOW. When the pin is

pulled LOW, it is driven strongly and able to sink a fairly large current. These features
are somewhat similar to an open drain output except that there are three pull-up
transistors in the quasi-bidirectional output that serve different purposes.
One of these pull-ups, called the ‘very weak’ pull-up, is turned on whenever the port
latch for the pin contains a logic 1. The very weak pull-up sources a very small current
that will pull the pin HIGH if it is left floating.
A second pull-up, called the ‘weak’ pull-up, is turned on when the port latch for the pin
contains a logic 1 and the pin itself is also at a logic 1 level. This pull-up provides the
primary source current for a quasi-bidirectional pin that is outputting a ‘1’. If a pin that
has a logic 1 on it is pulled LOW by an external device, the weak pull-up turns off, and
only the very weak pull-up remains on. In order to pull the pin LOW under these
conditions, the external device has to sink enough current to overpower the weak
pull-up and take the voltage on the port pin below its input threshold.
The third pull-up is referred to as the ‘strong’ pull-up. This pull-up is used to speed up
low-to-high transitions on a quasi-bidirectional port pin when the port latch changes
from a logic 0 to a logic 1. When this occurs, the strong pull-up turns on for a brief
time, two CPU clocks, in order to pull the port pin HIGH quickly. Then it turns off
again.
The quasi-bidirectional port configuration is shown in Figure 10.

Open drain output configuration
The open drain output configuration turns off all pull-ups and only drives the pulldown
transistor of the port driver when the port latch contains a logic 0. To be used as a
logic output, a port configured in this manner must have an external pull-up, typically
a resistor tied to VDD. The pulldown for this mode is the same as for the
quasi-bidirectional mode.
The open drain port configuration is shown in Figure 11.

Push-pull output configuration
The push-pull output configuration has the same pulldown structure as both the open

pull-up when the port latch contains a logic 1. The push-pull mode may be used when
more source current is needed from a port output.

The three port pins that cannot be configured are P1.2, P1.3, and P1.5. The port pins
P1.2 and P1.3 are permanently configured as open drain outputs. They may be used
as inputs by writing ones to their respective port latches. P1.5 may be used as a
Schmitt trigger input if the P87LPC779 has been configured for an internal reset and

P87LPC779
Philips Semiconductors
CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
The value of port pins at reset is determined by the PRHI bit in the UCFG1 register.
Ports may be configured to reset high or low as needed for the application. When port
pins are driven high at reset, they are in quasi-bidirectional mode and therefore do
not source large amounts of current.
Every output on the P87LPC779 may potentially be used as a 20 mA sink LED drive
output. However, there is a maximum total output current for all ports which must not
be exceeded.
All ports pins of the P87LPC779 have slew rate controlled outputs. This is to limit
noise generated by quickly switching output signals. The slew rate is factory set to
approximately 10 ns rise and fall times.
The bits in the P2M1 register that are not used to control configuration of P2.1 and
P2.0 are used for other purposes. These bits can enable Schmitt trigger inputs on
each I/O port, enable toggle outputs from Timer 0 and Timer 1, and enable a clock
output if either the internal RC oscillator or external clock input is being used. The last
two functions are described in Section 8.14 “Timer/counters” on page 41 and Section
8.10 “Oscillator” on page 34 respectively. The enable bits for all of these functions are
shown in Tables 21 and 22.
Each I/O port of the P87LPC779 may be selected to use TTL level inputs or Schmitt
inputs with hysteresis. A single configuration bit determines this selection for the
entire port. Port pins P1.2, P1.3, and P1.5 always have a Schmitt trigger input.

Keyboard interrupt (KBI)
The Keyboard Interrupt function is intended primarily to allow a single interrupt to be
generated when any key is pressed on a keyboard or keypad connected to specific
pins of the P87LPC779, as shown in Figure 13. This interrupt may be used to wake
up the CPU from Idle or Power-down modes. This feature is particularly useful in
handheld, battery powered systems that need to carefully manage power
consumption yet also need to be convenient to use.
The P87LPC779 allows any or all pins of port 0 to be enabled to cause this interrupt.
Port pins are enabled by the setting of bits in the KBI register, as shown in Tables 23
and 24. The Keyboard Interrupt Flag (KBF) in the AUXR1 register is set when any
enabled pin is pulled LOW while the KBI interrupt function is active. An interrupt will
be generated if it has been enabled. Note that the KBF bit must be cleared by
software.
Due to human time scales and the mechanical delay associated with keyswitch
closures, the KBI feature will typically allow the interrupt service routine to poll port 0
in order to determine which key was pressed, even if the processor has to wake up
from Power-down mode. Refer to Section 8.12 “Power reduction modes” on page 38
for details.

optimization for a range of needs from high precision to lowest possible cost. These
are configured when the EPROM is programmed. Basic oscillator types that are
supported include: low, medium, and high speed crystals, covering a range from
20 kHz to 20 MHz; ceramic resonators; and on-chip RC oscillator.

VDD = 4.5 V to 6.0 V
On-chip RC oscillator option
The on-chip RC oscillator option has a typical frequency of 6 MHz and can be divided
down for slower operation through the use of the DIVM register. A clock output on the
X2 / P2.0 pin may be enabled when the on-chip RC oscillator is used.
8.10.5
External clock input option
In this configuration, the processor clock is input from an external source driving the
X1 / P2.1 pin. The rate may be from 0 Hz up to 20 MHz when VDD is above 4.5 V and
up to 10 MHz when VDD is below 4.5 V. When the external clock input mode is used,
the X2 / P2.0 pin may be used as a standard port pin. A clock output on the X2 / P2.0
pin may be enabled when the external clock input is used.
8.10.6
Clock output
The P87LPC779 supports a clock output function when either the on-chip RC
oscillator or external clock input options are selected. This allows external devices to
synchronize to the P87LPC779. When enabled, via the ENCLK bit in the P2M1
register, the clock output appears on the X2 / CLKOUT pin whenever the on-chip
oscillator is running, including in Idle mode. The frequency of the clock output is 1⁄6 of
the CPU clock rate. If the clock output is not needed in Idle mode, it may be turned off
prior to entering Idle, saving additional power. The clock output may also be enabled
when the external clock input option is selected.

CPU clock modification: CLKR and DIVM
For backward compatibility, the CLKR configuration bit allows setting the P87LPC779
instruction and peripheral timing to match standard 80C51 timing by dividing the CPU
clock by two. Default timing for the P87LPC779 is 6 CPU clocks per machine cycle
while standard 80C51 timing is 12 clocks per machine cycle. This division also
applies to peripheral timing, allowing 80C51 code that is oscillator frequency and/or
timer rate dependent. The CLKR bit is located in the EPROM configuration register
UCFG1, described under Section 8.18 “EPROM characteristics” on page 61.

P87LPC779
Philips Semiconductors
CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
In addition to this, the CPU clock may be divided down from the oscillator rate by a
programmable divider, under program control. This function is controlled by the DIVM
register. If the DIVM register is set to zero (the default value), the CPU will be clocked
by either the unmodified oscillator rate, or that rate divided by two, as determined by
the previously described CLKR function.
When the DIVM register is set to some value N (between 1 and 255), the CPU clock
is divided by 2 × (N + 1). Clock division values from 4 through 512 are thus possible.
This feature makes it possible to temporarily run the CPU at a lower rate, reducing
power consumption, in a manner similar to Idle mode. By dividing the clock, the CPU
can retain the ability to respond to events other than those that can cause interrupts
(i.e., events that allow exiting the Idle mode) by executing its normal program at a
lower rate. This can allow bypassing the oscillator startup time in cases where
Power-down mode would otherwise be used. The value of DIVM may be changed by
the program at any time without interrupting code execution.
8.11 Power monitoring functions
The P87LPC779 incorporates power monitoring functions designed to prevent
incorrect operation during initial power up and power loss or reduction during
operation. This is accomplished with two hardware functions: Power-On Detect and
Brownout Detect.
8.11.1
Brownout detection
The Brownout Detect function helps prevent the processor from failing in an
unpredictable manner if the power supply voltage drops below a certain level. The
default operation is for a brownout detection to cause a processor reset, however it
may alternatively be configured to generate an interrupt by setting the BOI bit in the
AUXR1 register (AUXR1.5).
The P87LPC779 allows selection of two Brownout levels: 2.5 V or 3.8 V. When VDD
drops below the selected voltage, the brownout detector triggers and remains active
until VDD is returns to a level above the Brownout Detect voltage. When Brownout
Detect causes a processor reset, that reset remains active as long as VDD remains
below the Brownout Detect voltage. When Brownout Detect generates an interrupt,
that interrupt occurs once as VDD crosses from above to below the Brownout Detect
voltage. For the interrupt to be processed, the interrupt system and the BOI interrupt
must both be enabled (via the EA and EBO bits in IEN0).
When Brownout Detect is activated, the BOF flag in the PCON register is set so that
the cause of processor reset may be determined by software. This flag will remain set
until cleared by software.
For correct activation of Brownout Detect, the VDD fall time must be no faster than
50 mV/µs. When VDD is restored, is should not rise faster than 2 mV/µs in order to
insure a proper reset.
The brownout voltage (2.5 V or 3.8 V) is selected via the BOV bit in the EPROM
configuration register UCFG1. When unprogrammed (BOV = 1), the brownout detect
voltage is 2.5 V. When programmed (BOV = 0), the brownout detect voltage is 3.8 V.

P87LPC779
Philips Semiconductors
CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
If the Brownout Detect function is not required in an application, it may be disabled,
thus saving power. Brownout Detect is disabled by setting the control bit BOD in the
AUXR1 register (AUXR1.6).
8.11.2
Power-on detection
The Power-on Detect has a function similar to the Brownout Detect, but is designed to
work as power comes up initially, before the power supply voltage reaches a level
where Brownout Detect can work. When this feature is activated, the POF flag in the
PCON register is set to indicate an initial power up condition. The POF flag will
remain set until cleared by software.
8.12 Power reduction modes
The P87LPC779 supports Idle and Power-down modes of power reduction.
8.12.1
Idle mode
The Idle mode leaves peripherals running in order to allow them to activate the
processor when an interrupt is generated. Any enabled interrupt source or Reset may
terminate Idle mode. Idle mode is entered by setting the IDL bit in the PCON register
(see Tables 29 and 30).
8.12.2
Power-down mode
The Power-down mode stops the oscillator in order to absolutely minimize power
consumption. Power-down mode is entered by setting the PD bit in the PCON register
(see Tables 29 and 30).
The processor can be made to exit Power-down mode via Reset or one of the
interrupt sources shown in Table 28. This will occur if the interrupt is enabled and its
priority is higher than any interrupt currently in progress.
In Power-down mode, the power supply voltage may be reduced to the RAM
keep-alive voltage VRAM. This retains the RAM contents at the point where
Power-down mode was entered. SFR contents are not guaranteed after VDD has
been lowered to VRAM, therefore it is recommended to wake up the processor via
Reset in this case. VDD must be raised to within the operating range before the
Power-down mode is exited. Since the Watchdog timer has a separate oscillator, it
may reset the processor upon overflow if it is running during Power-down.
Note that if the Brownout Detect reset is enabled, the processor will be put into reset
as soon as VDD drops below the brownout voltage. If Brownout Detect is configured
as an interrupt and is enabled, it will wake up the processor from Power-down mode
when VDD drops below the brownout voltage.
When the processor wakes up from Power-down mode, it will start the oscillator
immediately and begin execution when the oscillator is stable. Oscillator stability is
determined by counting 1024 CPU clocks after start-up when one of the crystal
oscillator configurations is used, or 256 clocks after start-up for the internal RC or
external clock input configurations.

Low voltage EPROM operation
The EPROM array contains some analog circuits that are not required when VDD is
less than 4 V, but are required for a VDD greater than 4 V. The LPEP bit (AUXR.4),
when set by software, will Power-down these analog circuits resulting in a reduced
supply current. LPEP is cleared only by power-on reset, so it may be set ONLY for
applications that always operate with VDD less than 4 V.

8.14 Timer/counters
The P87LPC779 has two general purpose counter/timers which are upward
compatible with the standard 80C51 Timer0 and Timer1. Both can be configured to
operate either as timers or event counters (see Tables 31 and 32). An option to
automatically toggle the T0 and/or T1 pins upon timer overflow has been added.
In the ‘Timer’ function, the register is incremented every machine cycle. Thus, one
can think of it as counting machine cycles. Since a machine cycle consists of 6 CPU
clock periods, the count rate is 1⁄6 of the CPU clock frequency. Refer to Section 8.1
“Enhanced CPU” on page 12 for a description of the CPU clock.
In the ‘Counter’ function, the register is incremented in response to a 1-to-0 transition
at its corresponding external input pin, T0 or T1. In this function, the external input is
sampled once during every machine cycle. When the samples of the pin state show a
high in one cycle and a low in the next cycle, the count is incremented. The new count
value appears in the register during the cycle following the one in which the transition
was detected. Since it takes 2 machine cycles (12 CPU clocks) to recognize a 1-to-0
transition, the maximum count rate is 1⁄6 of the CPU clock frequency. There are no
restrictions on the duty cycle of the external input signal, but to ensure that a given
level is sampled at least once before it changes, it should be held for at least one full
machine cycle.
The ‘Timer’ or ‘Counter’ function is selected by control bits C/T in the Special
Function Register TMOD. In addition to the ‘Timer’ or ‘Counter’ selection, Timer0 and
Timer1 have four operating modes, which are selected by bit-pairs (M1, M0) in
TMOD. Modes 0, 1, and 2 are the same for both Timers/Counters. Mode 3 is different.
The four operating modes are described in the following text.

16-bit Timer/Counter ‘THn’ and ‘TLn’ are cascaded; there is no prescaler.

8-bit auto-reload Timer/Counter. THn holds a value which is loaded into

Timer0 is a dual 8-bit Timer/Counter in this mode. TL0 is an 8-bit
Timer/Counter controlled by the standard Timer0 control bits. TH0 is an
8-bit timer only, controlled by the Timer1 control bits (see text). Timer1 in
this mode is stopped.
Mode 0
Putting either Timer into Mode 0 makes it look like an 8048 Timer, which is an 8-bit
Counter with a divide-by-32 prescaler. Figure 19 shows Mode 0 operation.
In this mode, the Timer register is configured as a 13-bit register. As the count rolls
over from all 1s to all 0s, it sets the Timer interrupt flag TFn. The count input is
enabled to the Timer when TRn = 1 and either GATE = 0 or INTn = 1. (Setting
GATE = 1 allows the Timer to be controlled by external input INTn, to facilitate pulse
width measurements). TRn is a control bit in the Special Function Register TCON
(Tables 34 and 35). The GATE bit is in the TMOD register.
The 13-bit register consists of all 8 bits of THn and the lower 5 bits of TLn. The upper
3 bits of TLn are indeterminate and should be ignored. Setting the run flag (TRn)
does not clear the registers.
Mode 0 operation is the same for Timer0 and Timer1. See Figure 19. There are two
different GATE bits, one for Timer1 (TMOD.7) and one for Timer0 (TMOD.3).

8.14.2
Mode 1
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that all 16 bits of the timer register (THn and
TLn) are used. See Figure 20.
8.14.3
Mode 2
Mode 2 configures the Timer register as an 8-bit Counter (TL1) with automatic reload,
as shown in Figure 21. Overflow from TLn not only sets TFn, but also reloads TLn
with the contents of THn, which must be preset by software. The reload leaves THn
unchanged. Mode 2 operation is the same for Timer0 and Timer1.
8.14.4
Mode 3
When Timer1 is in Mode 3 it is stopped. The effect is the same as setting TR1 = 0.
Timer0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate 8-bit counters. The logic
for Mode 3 on Timer0 is shown in Figure 22. TL0 uses the Timer0 control bits: C/T,
GATE, TR0, INT0, and TF0. TH0 is locked into a timer function (counting machine
cycles) and takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer1. Thus, TH0 now controls
the ‘Timer1’ interrupt.
Mode 3 is provided for applications that require an extra 8-bit timer. With Timer0 in
Mode 3, an P87LPC779 can look like it has three Timer/Counters. When Timer0 is in
Mode 3, Timer1 can be turned on and off by switching it into and out of its own Mode
3. It can still be used by the serial port as a baud rate generator, or in any application
not requiring an interrupt.

Timer overflow toggle output
Timers 0 and 1 can be configured to automatically toggle a port output whenever a
timer overflow occurs. The same device pins that are used for the T0 and T1 count
inputs are also used for the timer toggle outputs. This function is enabled by control
bits ENT0 and ENT1 in the P2M1 register, and apply to Timer0 and Timer1
respectively. The port outputs will be a logic 1 prior to the first timer overflow when
this mode is turned on.
8.15 UART
The P87LPC779 includes an enhanced 80C51 UART. The baud rate source for the
UART is Timer1 for modes 1 and 3, while the rate is fixed in modes 0 and 2. Because
CPU clocking is different on the P87LPC779 than on the standard 80C51, baud rate
calculation is somewhat different. Enhancements over the standard 80C51 UART
include Framing Error detection and automatic address recognition.
The serial port is full duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive simultaneously. It is
also receive-buffered, meaning it can commence reception of a second byte before a
previously received byte has been read from the SBUF register. However, if the first
byte still hasn’t been read by the time reception of the second byte is complete, the
first byte will be lost. The serial port receive and transmit registers are both accessed
through Special Function Register SBUF. Writing to SBUF loads the transmit register,
and reading SBUF accesses a physically separate receive register.
The serial port can be operated in 4 modes.

8.15.1
Mode 0
Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD outputs the shift clock. 8 bits are
transmitted or received, LSB first. The baud rate is fixed at 1⁄6 of the CPU clock
frequency.
8.15.2
Mode 1
10 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD): a start bit (logic 0), 8
data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (logic 1). When data is received, the stop bit is
stored in RB8 in Special Function Register SCON. The baud rate is variable and is
determined by the Timer1 overflow rate.
8.15.3
Mode 2
11 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD): start bit (logic 0), 8
data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data bit, and a stop bit (logic 1). When data
is transmitted, the 9th data bit (TB8 in SCON) can be assigned the value of ‘0’ or ‘1’.
Or, for example, the parity bit (P, in the PSW) could be moved into TB8. When data is
received, the 9th data bit goes into RB8 in Special Function Register SCON, while the
stop bit is ignored. The baud rate is programmable to either 1⁄16 or 1⁄32 of the CPU
clock frequency, as determined by the SMOD1 bit in PCON.
8.15.4
Mode 3
11 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD): a start bit (logic 0), 8
data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data bit, and a stop bit (logic 1). In fact,
Mode 3 is the same as Mode 2 in all respects except baud rate. The baud rate in
Mode 3 is variable and is determined by the Timer1 overflow rate.
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a
destination register. Reception is initiated in Mode 0 by the condition RI = 0 and
REN = 1. Reception is initiated in the other modes by the incoming start bit if
REN = 1.
8.15.5
Serial port control register (SCON)
The serial port control and status register is the Special Function Register SCON,
shown in Tables 36 and 37. This register contains not only the mode selection bits,
but also the 9th data bit for transmit and receive (TB8 and RB8), and the serial port
interrupt bits (TI and RI).
The Framing Error bit (FE) allows detection of missing stop bits in the received data
stream. The FE bit shares the bit position SCON.7 with the SM0 bit. Which bit
appears in SCON at any particular time is determined by the SMOD0 bit in the PCON
register. If SMOD0 = 0, SCON.7 is the SM0 bit. If SMOD0 = 1, SCON.7 is the FE bit.
Once set, the FE bit remains set until it is cleared by software. This allows detection
of framing errors for a group of characters without the need for monitoring it for every
character individually.

8.15.7
Using Timer1 to generate baud rates
When Timer1 is used as the baud rate generator, the baud rates in Modes 1 and 3
are determined by the Timer1 overflow rate and the value of SMOD1. The Timer1
interrupt should be disabled in this application. The Timer itself can be configured for
either ‘timer’ or ‘counter’ operation, and in any of its 3 running modes. In the most
typical applications, it is configured for ‘timer’ operation, in the auto-reload mode (high
nibble of TMOD = 0010b). In that case the baud rate is given by the formula:
CPU clock frequency / 192 (or 96 if SMOD 1 = 1)
Mode 1, 3 baud rate = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------256 – ( TH 1 )
(5)
Tables 39 and 40 list various commonly used baud rates and how they can be
obtained using Timer1 as the baud rate generator.

Tables 39 and 40 apply to UART modes 1 and 3 (variable rate modes), and show CPU clock rates in MHz for standard baud rates from
2400 to 115.2 kbaud.
Table 39 shows timer settings and CPU clock rates with the SMOD1 bit in the PCON register = 0 (the default after reset), while Table 40
reflects the SMOD1 bit = 1.
The tables show all potential CPU clock frequencies up to 20 MHz that may be used for baud rates from 9600 baud to 115.2 kbaud.
Other CPU clock frequencies that would give only lower baud rates are not shown.
Table entries marked with an asterisk (*) indicate standard crystal and ceramic resonator frequencies that may be obtained from many
sources without special ordering.
8.15.8
More about UART Mode 0
Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD outputs the shift clock. 8 bits are
transmitted/received: 8 data bits (LSB first). The baud rate is fixed at 1⁄6 the CPU
clock frequency. Figure 23 shows a simplified functional diagram of the serial port in
Mode 0, and associated timing.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a destination register.
The ‘write to SBUF’ signal at S6P2 also loads a ‘1’ into the 9th position of the transmit
shift register and tells the TX Control block to commence a transmission. The internal
timing is such that one full machine cycle will elapse between ‘write to SBUF’ and
activation of SEND.
SEND enables the output of the shift register to the alternate output function line of
P3.0 and also enable SHIFT CLOCK to the alternate output function line of P3.1.
SHIFT CLOCK is low during S3, S4, and S5 of every machine cycle, and high during
S6, S1, and S2. At S6P2 of every machine cycle in which SEND is active, the
contents of the transmit shift are shifted to the right one position.
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros come in from the left. When the MSB of the
data byte is at the output position of the shift register, then the ‘1’ that was initially
loaded into the 9th position, is just to the left of the MSB, and all positions to the left of
that contain zeros. This condition flags the TX Control block to do one last shift and
then deactivate SEND and set T1. Both of these actions occur at S1P1 of the 10th
machine cycle after ‘write to SBUF.’ Reception is initiated by the condition REN = 1
and R1 = 0. At S6P2 of the next machine cycle, the RX Control unit writes the bits
11111110 t o the receive shift register, and in the next clock phase activates
RECEIVE.

RECEIVE enable SHIFT CLOCK to the alternate output function line of P3.1. SHIFT
CLOCK makes transitions at S3P1 and S6P1 of every machine cycle. At S6P2 of
every machine cycle in which RECEIVE is active, the contents of the receive shift
register are shifted to the left one position. The value that comes in from the right is
the value that was sampled at the P3.0 pin at S5P2 of the same machine cycle.
As data bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left. When the ‘0’ that was
initially loaded into the rightmost position arrives at the leftmost position in the shift
register, it flags the RX Control block to do one last shift and load SBUF. At S1P1 of
the 10th machine cycle after the write to SCON that cleared RI, RECEIVE is cleared
as RI is set.
8.15.9
More about UART Mode 1
Ten bits are transmitted (through TxD), or received (through RxD): a start bit (0),
8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (1). On receive, the stop bit goes into RB8 in
SCON. In the P87LPC779 the baud rate is determined by the Timer1 overflow rate.
Figure 24 shows a simplified functional diagram of the serial port in Mode 1, and
associated timings for transmit receive.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a destination register.
The ‘write to SBUF’ signal also loads a ‘1’ into the 9th bit position of the transmit shift
register and flags the TX Control unit that a transmission is requested. Transmission
actually commences at S1P1 of the machine cycle following the next rollover in the
divide-by-16 counter. (Thus, the bit times are synchronized to the divide-by-16
counter, not to the ‘write to SBUF’ signal.)
The transmission begins with activation of SEND which puts the start bit at TxD. One
bit time later, DATA is activated, which enables the output bit of the transmit shift
register to TxD. The first shift pulse occurs one bit time after that.
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros are clocked in from the left. When the MSB of
the data byte is at the output position of the shift register, then the ‘1’ that was initially
loaded into the 9th position is just to the left of the MSB, and all positions to the left of
that contain zeros. This condition flags the TX Control unit to do one last shift and
then deactivate SEND and set TI. This occurs at the 10th divide-by-16 rollover after
‘write to SBUF.’
Reception is initiated by a detected 1-to-0 transition at RxD. For this purpose RxD is
sampled at a rate of 16 times whatever baud rate has been established. When a
transition is detected, the divide-by-16 counter is immediately reset, and 1FFH is
written into the input shift register. Resetting the divide-by-16 counter aligns its
rollovers with the boundaries of the incoming bit times.
The 16 states of the counter divide each bit time into 16ths. At the 7th, 8th, and 9th
counter states of each bit time, the bit detector samples the value of RxD. The value
accepted is the value that was seen in at least 2 of the 3 samples. This is done for
noise rejection. If the value accepted during the first bit time is not 0, the receive
circuits are reset and the unit goes back to looking for another 1-to-0 transition. This
is to provide rejection of false start bits. If the start bit proves valid, it is shifted into the
input shift register, and reception of the rest of the frame will proceed.

As data bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left. When the start bit arrives at
the leftmost position in the shift register (which in mode 1 is a 9-bit register), it flags
the RX Control block to do one last shift, load SBUF and RB8, and set RI. The signal
to load SBUF and RB8, and to set RI, will be generated if, and only if, the following
conditions are met at the time the final shift pulse is generated:
1. R1 = 0, and
2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received stop bit = 1.
If either of these two conditions is not met, the received frame is irretrievably lost. If
both conditions are met, the stop bit goes into RB8, the 8 data bits go into SBUF, and
RI is activated. At this time, whether the above conditions are met or not, the unit
goes back to looking for a 1-to-0 transition in RxD.

More about UART Modes 2 and 3
Eleven bits are transmitted (through TxD), or received (through RxD): a start bit (0), 8
data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data bit, and a stop bit (1). On transmit, the
9th data bit (TB8) can be assigned the value of ‘0’ or ‘1’. On receive, the 9th data bit
goes into RB8 in SCON. The baud rate is programmable to either 1⁄16 or 1⁄32 of the
CPU clock frequency in Mode 2. Mode 3 may have a variable baud rate generated
from Timer1.
Figures 25 and 26 show a functional diagram of the serial port in Modes 2 and 3. The
receive portion is exactly the same as in Mode 1. The transmit portion differs from
Mode 1 only in the 9th bit of the transmit shift register.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a destination register.
The ‘write to SBUF’ signal also loads TB8 into the 9th bit position of the transmit shift
register and flags the TX Control unit that a transmission is requested. Transmission
commences at S1P1 of the machine cycle following the next rollover in the
divide-by-16 counter. (Thus, the bit times are synchronized to the divide-by-16
counter, not to the ‘write to SBUF’ signal.)
The transmission begins with activation of SEND, which puts the start bit at TxD. One
bit time later, DATA is activated, which enables the output bit of the transmit shift
register to TxD. The first shift pulse occurs one bit time after that. The first shift clocks
a ‘1’ (the stop bit) into the 9th bit position of the shift register. Thereafter, only zeros
are clocked in. Thus, as data bits shift out to the right, zeros are clocked in from the
left. When TB8 is at the output position of the shift register, then the stop bit is just to
the left of TB8, and all positions to the left of that contain zeros. This condition flags
the TX Control unit to do one last shift and then deactivate SEND and set TI. This
occurs at the 11th divide-by-16 rollover after ‘write to SBUF.’
Reception is initiated by a detected 1-to-0 transition at RxD. For this purpose RxD is
sampled at a rate of 16 times whatever baud rate has been established. When a
transition is detected, the divide-by-16 counter is immediately reset, and 1FFH is
written to the input shift register.
At the 7th, 8th, and 9th counter states of each bit time, the bit detector samples the
value of R-D. The value accepted is the value that was seen in at least 2 of the 3
samples. If the value accepted during the first bit time is not 0, the receive circuits are

reset and the unit goes back to looking for another 1-to-0 transition. If the start bit
proves valid, it is shifted into the input shift register, and reception of the rest of the
frame will proceed.
As data bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left. When the start bit arrives at
the leftmost position in the shift register (which in Modes 2 and 3 is a 9-bit register), it
flags the RX Control block to do one last shift, load SBUF and RB8, and set RI.
The signal to load SBUF and RB8, and to set RI, will be generated if, and only if, the
following conditions are met at the time the final shift pulse is generated. 1. RI = 0,
and 2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received 9th data bit = 1.
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is irretrievably lost, and RI
is not set. If both conditions are met, the received 9th data bit goes into RB8, and the
first 8 data bits go into SBUF. One bit time later, whether the above conditions were
met or not, the unit goes back to looking for a 1-to-0 transition at the RxD input.
8.15.11
Multiprocessor communications
UART modes 2 and 3 have a special provision for multiprocessor communications. In
these modes, 9 data bits are received or transmitted. When data is received, the 9th
bit is stored in RB8. The UART can be programmed such that when the stop bit is
received, the serial port interrupt will be activated only if RB8 = 1. This feature is
enabled by setting bit SM2 in SCON. One way to use this feature in multiprocessor
systems is as follows:
When the master processor wants to transmit a block of data to one of several slaves,
it first sends out an address byte which identifies the target slave. An address byte
differs from a data byte in that the 9th bit is ‘1’ in an address byte and ‘0’ in a data
byte. With SM2 = 1, no slave will be interrupted by a data byte. An address byte,
however, will interrupt all slaves, so that each slave can examine the received byte
and see if it is being addressed. The addressed slave will clear its SM2 bit and
prepare to receive the data bytes that follow. The slaves that weren’t being addressed
leave their SM2 bits set and go on about their business, ignoring the subsequent data
bytes.
SM2 has no effect in Mode 0, and in Mode 1 can be used to check the validity of the
stop bit, although this is better done with the Framing Error flag. In a Mode 1
reception, if SM2 = 1, the receive interrupt will not be activated unless a valid stop bit
is received.
8.15.12
Automatic address recognition
Automatic Address Recognition is a feature which allows the UART to recognize
certain addresses in the serial bit stream by using hardware to make the
comparisons. This feature saves a great deal of software overhead by eliminating the
need for the software to examine every serial address which passes by the serial
port. This feature is enabled by setting the SM2 bit in SCON. In the 9 bit UART
modes, mode 2 and mode 3, the Receive Interrupt flag (RI) will be automatically set
when the received byte contains either the ‘Given’ address or the ‘Broadcast’
address. The 9 bit mode requires that the 9th information bit is a ‘1’ to indicate that
the received information is an address and not data.

Philips Semiconductors
CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
Using the Automatic Address Recognition feature allows a master to selectively
communicate with one or more slaves by invoking the Given slave address or
addresses. All of the slaves may be contacted by using the Broadcast address. Two
special Function Registers are used to define the slave’s address, SADDR, and the
address mask, SADEN. SADEN is used to define which bits in the SADDR are to be
used and which bits are ‘don’t care’. The SADEN mask can be logically ANDed with
the SADDR to create the ‘Given’ address which the master will use for addressing
each of the slaves. Use of the Given address allows multiple slaves to be recognized
while excluding others. The following examples will help to show the versatility of this
scheme:
Table 41:
Slave 0/1 examples
Example 1
Slave 0
Example 2
SADDR = 1100 0000
Slave 1
SADDR = 1100 0000
SADEN = 1111 1101
SADEN = 1111 1110
Given = 1100 00X0
Given = 1100 000X
In the above example SADDR is the same and the SADEN data is used to
differentiate between the two slaves. Slave 0 requires a ‘0’ in bit 0 and it ignores bit 1.
Slave 1 requires a ‘0’ in bit 1 and bit 0 is ignored. A unique address for Slave 0 would
be 1100 0010 since slave 1 requires a ‘0’ in bit 1. A unique address for slave 1 would
be 1100 0001 since a ‘1’ in bit 0 will exclude slave 0. Both slaves can be selected at
the same time by an address which has bit 0 = 0 (for slave 0) and bit 1 = 0 (for
slave 1). Thus, both could be addressed with 1100 0000.
In a more complex system the following could be used to select slaves 1 and 2 while
excluding slave 0:
Table 42:
Slave 0/1/2 examples
Example 1
Slave 0
Example 2
SADDR = 1100 0000
Slave 1
Example 3
SADDR = 1110 0000
Slave 2
SADDR = 1110 0000
SADEN = 1111 1001
SADEN = 1111 1010
SADEN = 1111 1100
Given = 1100 0XX0
Given = 1110 0X0X
Given = 1110 00XX
In the above example the differentiation among the 3 slaves is in the lower 3 address
bits. Slave 0 requires that bit 0 = 0 and it can be uniquely addressed by 1110 0110.
Slave 1 requires that bit 1 = 0 and it can be uniquely addressed by 1110 and 0101.
Slave 2 requires that bit 2 = 0 and its unique address is 1110 0011. To select Slaves 0
and 1 and exclude Slave 2 use address 1110 0100, since it is necessary to make bit
2 = 1 to exclude slave 2. The Broadcast Address for each slave is created by taking
the logical OR of SADDR and SADEN. Zeros in this result are treated as don’t-cares.
In most cases, interpreting the don’t-cares as ones, the broadcast address will be FF
hexadecimal. Upon reset SADDR and SADEN are loaded with 0s. This produces a
given address of all ‘don’t cares’ as well as a Broadcast address of all ‘don’t cares’.
This effectively disables the Automatic Addressing mode and allows the
microcontroller to use standard UART drivers which do not make use of this feature.

8.16 Watchdog timer
When enabled via the WDTE configuration bit, the Watchdog timer is operated from
an independent, fully on-chip oscillator in order to provide the greatest possible
dependability. When the Watchdog feature is enabled, the timer must be fed regularly
by software in order to prevent it from resetting the CPU, and it cannot be turned off.
When disabled as a Watchdog timer (via the WDTE bit in the UCFG1 configuration
register), it may be used as an interval timer and may generate an interrupt. The
Watchdog timer is shown in Figure 27.
The Watchdog timeout time is selectable from one of eight values, nominal times
range from 16 milliseconds to 2.1 seconds. The frequency tolerance of the
independent Watchdog RC oscillator is ±37 %. The timeout selections and other
control bits are shown in Tables 43 and 44. When the Watchdog function is enabled,
the WDCON register may be written once during chip initialization in order to set the
Watchdog timeout time. The recommended method of initializing the WDCON
register is to first feed the Watchdog, then write to WDCON to configure the WDS2-0
bits. Using this method, the Watchdog initialization may be done any time within 10
milliseconds after start-up without a Watchdog overflow occurring before the
initialization can be completed.
Since the Watchdog timer oscillator is fully on-chip and independent of any external
oscillator circuit used by the CPU, it intrinsically serves as an oscillator fail detection
function. If the Watchdog feature is enabled and the CPU oscillator fails for any
reason, the Watchdog timer will time out and reset the CPU.
When the Watchdog function is enabled, the timer is deactivated temporarily when a
chip reset occurs from another source, such as a Power-on reset, brownout reset, or
external reset.

8.16.1
Watchdog feed sequence
If the Watchdog timer is running, it must be fed before it times out in order to prevent
a chip reset from occurring. The Watchdog feed sequence consists of first writing the
value 1Eh, then the value E1h to the WDRST register. An example of a Watchdog
feed sequence is shown below.
WDFeed:
mov
mov
WDRST,#1eh
WDRST,#0e1h
; First part of Watchdog feed sequence.
; Second part of Watchdog feed sequence.
The two writes to WDRST do not have to occur in consecutive instructions. An
incorrect Watchdog feed sequence does not cause any immediate response from the
Watchdog timer, which will still time out at the originally scheduled time if a correct
feed sequence does not occur prior to that time.
After a chip reset, the user program has a limited time in which to either feed the
Watchdog timer or change the timeout period. When a low CPU clock frequency is
used in the application, the number of instructions that can be executed before the
Watchdog overflows may be quite small.
8.16.2
Watchdog reset
If a Watchdog reset occurs, the internal reset is active for approximately one
microsecond. If the CPU clock was still running, code execution will begin
immediately after that. If the processor was in Power-down mode, the Watchdog reset
will start the oscillator and code execution will resume after the oscillator is stable.

Philips Semiconductors
CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
8.17.1
Software reset
The SRST bit in AUXR1 allows software the opportunity to reset the processor
completely, as if an external reset or Watchdog reset had occurred. If a value is
written to AUXR1 that contains a ‘1’ at bit position 3, all SFRs will be initialized and
execution will resume at program address 0000. Care should be taken when writing
to AUXR1 to avoid accidental software resets.
8.17.2
Dual data pointers
The dual Data Pointer (DPTR) adds to the ways in which the processor can specify
the address used with certain instructions. The DPS bit in the AUXR1 register selects
one of the two Data Pointers. The DPTR that is not currently selected is not
accessible to software unless the DPS bit is toggled.
Specific instructions affected by the Data Pointer selection are:
•
•
•
•
•
INC DPTR: Increments the Data Pointer by 1.
JMP @A+DPTR: Jump indirect relative to DPTR value.
MOV DPTR, #data16: Load the Data Pointer with a 16-bit constant.
MOVCA, @A+DPTR: Move code byte relative to DPTR to the accumulator.
MOVXA, @DPTR: Move data byte the accumulator to data memory relative to
DPTR.
• MOVX @DPTR, A: Move data byte from data memory relative to DPTR to the
accumulator.
Also, any instruction that reads or manipulates the DPH and DPL registers (the upper
and lower bytes of the current DPTR) will be affected by the setting of DPS. The
MOVX instructions have limited application for the P87LPC779 since the part does
not have an external data bus. However, they may be used to access EPROM
configuration information (see Section 8.18 “EPROM characteristics”).
Bit 2 of AUXR1 is permanently wired as a logic 0. This is so that the DPS bit may be
toggled (thereby switching Data Pointers) simply by incrementing the AUXR1 register,
without the possibility of inadvertently altering other bits in the register.
8.18 EPROM characteristics
Programming of the EPROM on the P87LPC779 is accomplished with a serial
programming method. Commands, addresses, and data are transmitted to and from
the device on two pins after programming mode is entered. Serial programming
allows easy implementation of in-circuit programming of the P87LPC779 in an
application board.
The P87LPC779 contains three signature bytes that can be read and used by an
EPROM programming system to identify the device. The signature bytes designate
the device as an P87LPC779 manufactured by Philips. The signature bytes may be
read by the user program at addresses FC30h, FC31h and FC60h with the MOVC
instruction, using the DPTR register for addressing.

CMOS single-chip 8-bit microcontroller
A special user data area is also available for access via the MOVC instruction at
addresses FCE0h through FCFFh. This ‘customer code’ space is programmed in the
same manner as the main code EPROM and may be used to store a serial number,
manufacturing date, or other application information.
8.18.1
System configuration bytes
A number of user configurable features of the P87LPC779 must be defined at power
up and therefore cannot be set by the program after start of execution. Those
features are configured through the use of two EPROM bytes that are programmed in
the same manner as the EPROM program space. The contents of the two
configuration bytes, UCFG1 and UCFG2, are shown in Tables 48, 49, 51 and 52. The
values of these bytes may be read by the program through the use of the MOVX
instruction at the addresses shown in the tables.

CLKR
Clock rate select. When ‘0’, the CPU clock rate is divided by 2.
This results in machine cycles taking 12 CPU clocks to complete
as in the standard 80C51. For full backward compatibility, this
division applies to peripheral timing as well.

Typical ratings are not guaranteed. The values listed are at room temperature, 5 V.
Ports in quasi-bidirectional mode with weak pull-up (applies to all port pins with pull-ups). Does not apply to open-drain pins.
Ports in PUSH-PULL mode. Does not apply to open drain pins.
In all output modes except high impedance mode.
Port pins source a transition current when used in quasi-bidirectional mode and externally driven from ‘1’ to ‘0’. This current is highest
when VIN is approximately 2 V.
[6] Measured with port in high-impedance mode. Parameter is guaranteed, but not tested at cold temperature.
[7] Measured with port in quasi-bidirectional mode.
[8] Under steady state (non-transient conditions, IOL must be externally limited as follows.
a) Maximum IOL per port pin: 20 mA
b) Maximum IOL for all outputs: 80 mA
c) Maximum IOL for all outputs: 5 mA
If IOL exceeds the test condition, VOL may exceed the related specification. Pins are not guaranteed to sink current greater than the
listed test conditions.
[9] Pin capacitance is characterized but not tested.
[10] The IDD, IID, and IPD specifications are measured using an external clock with the following functions disabled: comparators, brownout
detect, and Watchdog timer. For VDD = 3 V, LPEP = 1. Refer to the appropriate figure on the following pages for additional current drawn
by each of these functions.
[11] Devices initially operating at VDD = 2.7 V or above and fosc = 10 MHz or less are guaranteed to continue to execute instructions correctly
at the brownout trip point. Initial power-on operation below VDD = 2.7 V is not guaranteed.
[12] Devices initially operating at VDD = 4.0 V or above and fosc = 20 MHz or less are guaranteed to continue to execute instructions correctly
at the brownout trip point. Initial power-on operation below VDD = 4.0 V and fosc > 10 MHz is not guaranteed

The A/D is monotonic, there are no missing codes.
The differential non-linearity (DLe) is the difference between the actual step width and the ideal step width. See Figure 28.
The integral non-linearity (ILe) is the peak difference between the center of the steps of the actual and the ideal transfer curve after
appropriate adjustment of gain and offset errors. See Figure 28.
[5] The offset error (OSe) is the absolute difference between the straight line which fits the actual transfer curve (after removing gain error),
and the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 28.
[6] The gain error (Ge) is the relative difference in percent between the straight line fitting the actual transfer curve (after removing offset
error), and the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. Gain error is constant at every point on the transfer curve. See Figure 28.
[7] The absolute voltage error (Ae) is the maximum difference between the center of the steps of the actual transfer curve of the
non-calibrated ADC and the ideal transfer curve.
[8] This should be considered when both analog and digital signals are input simultaneously to A/D pins.
[9] Changing the input voltage faster than this may cause erroneous readings.
[10] A source impedance higher than this driving an A/D input may result in loss of precision and erroneous readings.
