MC13237 Introduction
1.1
Overview
The MC13234/MC13237 is Freescale’s low-cost System-on-Chip (SoC) for the IEEE® 802.15.4 Standard
that incorporates a complete, low power, 2.4 GHz radio frequency transceiver with TX/RX switch, an 8-bit
HCS08 CPU, and a functional set of MCU peripherals into a 48-pin LGA package. This solution is targeted
for wireless RF remote control and other cost-sensitive applications ranging from home TV and
entertainment systems such as ZigBee BeeStack Consumer (RF4CE) to low cost, low power, IEEE
802.15.4 and ZigBee end nodes. The MC13234/MC13237 is a highly integrated solution, with very low
power consumption.
The MC13234/MC13237 contains an RF transceiver which is an 802.15.4 Standard - 2006 compliant radio
that operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band. The transceiver includes a low noise amplifier, 1 mW
nominal output power amplifier (PA), internal voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), integrated
transmit/receive switch, on-board power supply regulation, 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
and full spread-spectrum encoding and decoding.
The on-chip CPU is based on the Freescale HCS08 family of Microcontroller Units (MCU) and has 128
kilobyte (KB) of flash memory and 8 KB of RAM. The onboard MCU peripheral set has been defined to
support the targeted applications. A dedicated DMA block transfers packet data between RAM and the
transceiver to off-load the CPU and allow higher efficiency and increased performance.

ZigBee-Compliant Network Stack
Freescale’s BeeStack architecture builds on the ZigBee protocol stack. Based on the OSI Seven-Layer
model, the ZigBee stack ensures inter-operability among networked devices. The physical (PHY), media
access control (MAC), and network (NWK) layers create the foundation for the application (APL) layers.
BeeStack defines additional services to improve the communication between layers of the protocol stack.
At the Application Layer, the application support layer (ASL) facilitates information exchange between
the Application Support Sub-Layer (APS) and application objects. Finally, ZigBee Device Objects (ZDO),
in addition to other manufacturer-designed applications, allow for a wide range of useful tasks applicable
to home and industrial automation.
BeeStack uses the IEEE 802.15.4-compliant MAC/PHY layer that is not part of ZigBee itself. The NWK
layer defines routing, network creation and configuration, and device synchronization. The application
framework (AF) supports a rich array of services that define ZigBee functionality. ZigBee Device Objects
(ZDO) implement application-level services in all nodes via profiles. A security service provider (SSP) is
available to the layers that use encryption (NWK and APS), i.e., Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
128-bit security.
The complete Freescale BeeStack protocol stack includes the following components:
• ZigBee Device Objects (ZDO) and ZigBee Device Profile (ZDP)
• Application Support Sub-Layer (APS)
• Application Framework (AF)
• Network (NWK) Layer
• Security Service Provider (SSP)
• IEEE 802.15.4-compliant MAC and Physical (PHY) Layer

Integrated IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (Radio and Modem)
The MC13234/MC13237 IEEE 802.15.4 is a fully-compliant transceiver. It provides a complete 2.4 GHz
radio with 250 kbps Offset-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) data in 5.0 MHz channels with a
full spread-spectrum encode and decode. The modem supports the full requirement of the IEEE 802.15.4
Standard functionality to transmit, receive, and do clear channel assessment (CCA), Energy Detect (ED),
and Link Quality Indication (LQI).
• Programmable output power with 0 dBm nominal output power, programmable from –30 dBm to

1.5.1
RF Interface and Usage
The MC13234/MC13237 RF interface provides a bidirectional, differential port that connects directly to
a balun. The balun connects directly to a single-ended antenna and converts that interface to a full
differential, bidirectional, on-chip interface with transmit/receive switch, LNA, and complementary PA
outputs.This combination allows for a small footprint and low cost RF solution to be realized.

Freescale Semiconductor
MC13237 Introduction
1.5.2
Transceiver Register Interface and Operation
The transceiver is controlled by set of interface registers that are memory-mapped into the CPU address
space. The transceiver is capable of independent operation to transmit, receive, or perform CCA/ED
operations. Additional features of the transceiver include:
• DMA function moves data directly between RAM and transceiver buffers during transmit and
receive on a cycle-steal basis. This off loads the data transfer from the CPU and provides higher
performance, and can also allow lower power during TX/RX.
• Interrupt capability dependent on RX packet data availability. An interrupt can be generated based
on a programmed count of RX data bytes that have been received and moved to RAM. This allows
CPU filtering of RX data before completion of the packet reception to accelerate response to the
packet.
• Four (4) transceiver Event Timer comparators are available to supplement MCU peripheral timer
resources for PHY and MAC timing requirements.
1.5.3
IEEE 802.15.4 Acceleration Hardware
The MC13234/MC13237 802.15.4 transceiver has several hardware features that reduce the software stack
size, off load the function from the CPU, and improve performance. A list of features supported is provided
below:

1.5.4
Unique Partial Power Down (PPD_RX) or “Listen” Receive Mode
The MC13234/MC13237 provides a unique Partial Power Down receive (PPD_RX) mode. A summary of
PPD_RX mode of operation when selected is described below:
•
Whenever a receive cycle is initiated, the receiver is not turned fully on to save current until receive
energy of a preset level is detected
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
1-9
MC13237 Introduction
•
•
The receiver will turn fully on only when triggered by energy at a pre-determined preset level thus
enabling reception of the expected frame. Afterwards, the receiver will begin operating in the
full-on state that is considered to be the same as the standard receive state
The preset level can be programmed for various RX input power levels
Use of the PPD_RX mode provides two distinct advantages:
• Reduced Listen mode current — The receive current is significantly reduced while waiting for a
frame. If a node is a coordinator, router, or gateway and it spends a significant percentage of its
RF-active time waiting for incoming frames from clients or other devices, the net power savings
can be significant.
• Reduced sensitivity as a desired effect — The PPD_RX mode provides different levels of reduced
sensitivity. If a node operates in a densely populated area, it may be desirable to de-sensitize the
receiver such that the device does not respond to incoming frames with an energy level below the
desired threshold. This could be useful for security, net efficiency, reduced noise triggering and
many other purposes.

Development Environment
Development support for the HCS08 on the MC13234/MC13237 includes the background debug
controller (BDC) and the on-chip debug module (DBG). The BDC provides a single-wire debug interface
to the MCU that provides a convenient interface for programming the on-chip flash and other storage. The
BDC is also the primary debug interface for development and allows non-intrusive access to memory data
and traditional debug features such as CPU register modify, breakpoints, and single instruction trace
commands.
Address and data bus signals are not available on external pins. Debug is done through commands fed into
the MCU via the single-wire background debug interface. The debug module provides a means to
selectively trigger and capture bus information so an external development system can reconstruct what
happened inside the MCU on a cycle-by-cycle basis without having external access to the address and data
signals. Features include:
• Single-wire background debug interface
• Breakpoint capability to allow single breakpoint setting during in-circuit debugging (plus two
more breakpoints in on-chip debug module)
• On-chip in-circuit emulator (ICE) debug module containing three comparators and nine trigger
modes.
• Eight deep FIFO for storing change-of-flow addresses and event-only data. Debug module
supports both tag and force breakpoints.

When designing power to the MC13234/MC13237 LGA, the following points need to be considered:
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
3-1
System Considerations
•
•
The LGA package has a single common ground flag (VSS).
The device has four primary power inputs that include VBATT_1, VBATT_2, VBATT_3 and
VBATT_4 signals
— These are not connected onboard.
— These must be connected to a common source supply of 1.8–3.6 Vdc.
NOTE
Although the MC13234/MC13237 can operate at VDD supply as low as 1.8
Vdc, it is not recommended to be a regulated supply at 1.8 Vdc. The
low-voltage detect (LVD) reset is enabled out of POR and the power supply
voltage must rise and exceed the LVD rising-edge threshold or the device
will be held in reset. After the rising edge threshold is exceeded, the reset is
released.
•
•
•
•
VREG_ANA must be tied to VDD_ANA and bypassed with a 220 nF capacitor.
VREG_LO2 and VREG_VCO must each be bypassed by a 220 nF capacitor.
The LGA FLAG is the device ground connection and must be tied to supply GND.
RF_BIAS is a bias voltage for the RF balun that switches between 1.8 Vdc for transmit and ground
for receive.
Power supply connections are shown in Figure 3-1.

3.3
Special Pin Usage
The following signal pins have special usage.
3.3.1
Hardware RESET Pin
Device signal RESET is a dedicated IO pin with a built-in pullup device. It has input hysteresis, a high
current output driver, and no output slew rate control. Internal power-on reset and low-voltage reset
circuitry typically make external reset circuitry unnecessary. This pin is normally connected to the
standard 6-pin background debug connector so a development system can directly reset the MCU system.
If desired, a manual external reset can be added by supplying a simple switch to ground.
A system reset can be initiated externally or internally:
• External reset — the RESET pin can be driven low from an external switch to ground or driven
from a device output. If RESET is driven from an external IO (such as a master MCU), the IO
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
3-4
Freescale Semiconductor
System Considerations
should be open drain or buffered in such a manner as to not drive RESET active high at the same
time that the onboard circuitry is driving the pin active low during an internally generated reset. A
Schottky diode in series between a standard active high output and the RESET input can be used
to block the output from driving high.
NOTE
If RESET is held active for more than 69 bus clock cycles, the reference
oscillator will be disabled. See Section 5.4.1, “Clock Sources”.
•
Internal reset — if reset is initiated internally the RESET pin is driven low for about 34 cycles of
the default bus clock (16 MHz); this equates to approximately 2 microseconds. The output low
condition can be used to reset any external system components. As stated previously, an external
driver must not hold the signal high to prevent this internally initiated low condition. The onboard
output drive is open drain and relies on the pullup to pull the RESET pin high again. The reset pin
is sampled approximately 38 cycles later and expects reset to return high. The reset circuitry
decodes the onboard cause of reset and records it by setting a corresponding bit in the system
control reset status register (SRS).
NOTE
A reset initiated by the RESET pin or any other operation condition does not
cycle the POR circuit. The POR reset is only cycled by transitions on the
VDD supply.
Figure 3-3 illustrates RESET signal timing. If reset is driven externally, the active low time is set by the
source and can be held indefinitely. Upon release, the rise time should be the RC time constant as
determined by the total pin load capacitance and the pullup (the external driver should not actively drive
the pin high). An external pullup is not required as an onboard pullup is present. If the reset is driven by
the onboard driver, the active low time will be approximately 2 µs, and once released, the rise time is again
determined by the RC time constant.

Figure 3-3. RESET Signal Timing
When RESET is active, the current is very low, but the MC13234/MC13237 is not totally disabled as in a
programmed low power state.
3.3.2
Signal PTA2 (Factory Test Mode Enable)
Signal PTA2 is also an enable for a reserved factory test mode (see Section 9.3, “IO Port Pin Functional
Description”). During a POR reset, signal PTA2 is an input and should not be driven high or test mode will
be entered when POR is released. Good design practice is to tie PTA to ground through an external
pulldown resistor.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
3-5
System Considerations
Although I/O signal PTA2 is controlled as any other Port A signal it is suggested that PTA2 be limited to
use as an output and be used only when required by applications needing the extra GPIO output.
3.3.3
MCU Background/Mode Select (PTA7/BKGD/MS)
The Background/Mode Select (BKGD/MS) shares its function with the MCU I/O port pin PTA7. While in
reset, the pin functions as a mode select pin. Immediately after RESET rises, the pin functions as the
background pin and can be used for background debug communication. While functioning as a
Background/Mode Select pin, the pin includes an internal pullup device, input hysteresis, a standard output
driver, and no output slew rate control. When used as an I/O port is becomes PTA7.
If nothing is connected to this pin, the MCU will enter normal operating mode at the rising edge of reset.
If a debug system is connected to the 6-pin standard background debug header, it can hold BKGD/MS low
during the rising edge of reset which forces the MCU to Active Background Mode.
The BKGD pin is used primarily for background debug controller (BDC) communications using a custom
protocol that uses 16 clock cycles of the target MCUs BDC clock per bit time. The target MCUs BDC
clock could be as fast as the bus clock rate, so there should never be any significant capacitance connected
to the BKGD/MS pin that could interfere with background serial communications.
Although the BKGD pin is a pseudo open-drain pin, the background debug communication protocol
provides brief, actively driven, high speed-up pulses to ensure fast rise times. Small capacitances from
cables and the absolute value of the internal pullup device play almost no role in determining rise and fall
times on the BKGD pin.
3.4
External Clock Connections
The MC13234/MC13237 provides the following clock sources:
• 32 MHz Reference Oscillator - all active clocks for the radio, CPU, and peripherals are derived
from the reference oscillator. An external 32 MHz crystal is most commonly used with the
reference oscillator, although an external clock source can be used.
• Onboard 1 kHz RC Oscillator - low power oscillator used for RTC and to wake-up from low power
• Optional 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator - used in place of the onboard 1 kHz oscillator for the RTC
and to wake-up from low power.
The reference oscillator and the optional 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator require external connections which
are shown in Figure 3-5.

32 MHz Reference Oscillator
The reference oscillator must always be functional and can use an external crystal or an external source.
3.5.1
Description
The reference oscillator is shown in Figure 3-5. It has an amplifier block with Amplitude Level Control
(ALC) to optimize power consumption and help startup. It uses an off-chip 32 MHz crystal and has internal
programmable trim load capacitors. The primary load capacitors are external.
The external load capacitors CL1 and CL2 are typically in the 5 pF to 15 pF range and are determined by
the requirements of the specific crystal. The manufacturer will specify the load capacitance and the
external capacitors selected for CL1 and CL2 are used to match the stray circuit capacitance (the pin and
PCB capacitance) to the required load capacitance. The onboard capacitors consist of two arrays on each
pin, each trimmable by a 4-bit control field. The larger or coarse array can be from 0 - 4.215 pF with steps
of 281 fF. The smaller or fine array can be from 0 - 300 fF with steps of 20 fF.

32 MHz Crystal Trimming
The MC13234/MC13237 reference oscillator frequency can be trimmed (via changing the load
capacitance) through programming the System Oscillator Management and Control Register 2
(XTAL1_TRIM[7:0]) as described in Section 5.8.11, “System Oscillator Management and Control
Register 2 (SOMC2)”. The XTAL1_TRIM[7:0] field has two control fields that set the trimming.
• XTAL1_TRIM[7:4] — selects course load capacitance; selects from 0–4.215 pF in 15 steps of
approximately 281 fF
• XTAL_FTUNE[3:0] — selects fine tuning for load capacitance; selects from 0–300 fF in 15 steps
of approximately 20 fF
The trimming procedure varies the frequency where as the trim value is increased, the frequency is
decreased. This feature is useful to set the crystal frequency for the radio accuracy as required by the IEEE
802.15.4 specification.
Figure 3-6 and Figure 3-7 illustrate the variation is oscillator frequency vs. capacitive loading for a 9pF
CL crystal.
• For Figure 3-6 the external load capacitors are present and the fine tune is centered while the course
tune array is varied. The rate of frequency change is about 125 Hz per step.
• For Figure 3-7 the external load capacitors are present and the course tune is centered while the
fine tune array is varied. The rate of frequency change is about 11 Hz per step.

Good design practice dictates that external capacitors be selected to

32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (Optional)
The 32.768 kHz oscillator is strictly optional. The 32 kHz oscillator adds cost to a design, but is much more
accurate than the onboard 1kHz oscillator.
The use of the 32.768 kHz oscillator versus the onboard 1 kHz oscillator is controlled via a register in the
CRM (see Chapter 5, “System Management and Control”).
3.6.1
Description
The MC13234/MC13237 has a built-in 32 kHz crystal oscillator with an ALC feature. It uses an external
32.768 kHz crystal with a load capacitance of 12–16 pF. The load capacitors are external.
Figure 3-8 shows the user oscillator model. The model shows that there are external load capacitors for the
oscillator crystal. On each leg of the oscillator (XTAL_32K and EXTAL_32K) there is:
•
•
A fixed CL capacitor
Stray capacitance - sum of pad, package, and trace capacitance (typically ~1.5pF)
The load capacitance CL to the crystal is symmetric and equals 1/2 (CL + Cstray). Target load capacitance
is 12–16 pF and is determined by the crystal specification.

MC13234/MC13237 GPIO
The MC13234/MC13237 supports up to a total of 32 GPIO pins:
• MC13234: 32 GPIO pins; MC13237: 28 GPIO pins
• Pins have hysteresis inputs and configurable pullup device on all input pins
• Configurable slew rate and drive strength on all output pins.
• PTA2 is also a factory test mode enable.
• PTA3 is unavailable if used as IRQ
• If a 32.768 kHz crystal is used, PTA0/XTAL_32K and PTA1/EXTAL_32K pins cannot be used as
GPIO.
• PTA4/XTAL_32KOUT is an optional 32 kHz clock output signal
• PTA7/BKGD/MS is not commonly used as GPIO because it is dedicated to the MCU debug port
(BDM) and is an output only when used as GPIO
3.8.1
GPIO Characteristics
The GPIO hardware consists of four ports, A, B, C, and D. Each port consists of 8 signals (except for
MC13237, port C only has 4 signals). With RESET active and immediately after exiting reset, all I/O pins
default to high-impedance inputs with internal pullup devices disabled.

System Considerations
NOTE
To avoid extra current drain from floating input pins, the device
initialization routine in the application program should either enable
on-chip pullup devices or change the direction of unused pins to outputs
(programmed low) so the pins do not float. See Section Chapter 9, “Parallel
Input and Output”).
Most of these pins share functionality with MCU peripheral functions. For information about controlling
these pins as general-purpose I/O pins, see Section Chapter 9, “Parallel Input and Output”. For information
about how and when on-chip peripheral systems use these pins, see the appropriate section from Table 3-4.

When an on-chip peripheral system is controlling a pin, data direction control bits still determine what is
read from port data registers even though the peripheral module controls the pin direction by controlling
the enable for the pin’s output buffer. See Chapter 9, “Parallel Input and Output” for details.
pullup and pulldown control consists of:
• pullup enable bits for each input pin control whether on-chip pullup devices are enabled whenever
the pin is acting as an input even if it is being controlled by an on-chip peripheral module.
• When the PTB7–PTB0, PTC3–PTC0 (MC13234 only), pins are controlled by the related KBI
module and are configured for rising-edge/high-level sensitivity, the pullup enable control bits
enable pulldown devices rather than pullup devices.

When IRQ is configured as the IRQ input and is set to detect rising edges, the pullup enable control
bit enables a pulldown device rather than a pullup device.

Transceiver RF Operation
The MC13234/MC13237 transceiver provides a simple RF interface with the following characteristics:
• Onboard Transmit/Receive (T/R) switch and LNA
• Two-pin bidirectional, differential RF port
• RF_Bias — switched 1.8 Vdc (VREG_ANA) bias reference for use with an external balun.
An internal integrated RX switch and TX power amplifier (PA) are used, and pins RF_P and RF_N are
bidirectional and connect both for TX and RX. When receiving, the RX switch is enabled to the internal
LNA and the TX PA is disabled. When transmitting, the RX switch is disabled (isolating the LNA) and the
TX PA is enabled. RF_Bias pin provides a reference or bias voltage which is at 1.8 V for transmit and is
at ground for receive. This signal can be used to provide the proper bias voltage to a balun that converts a
single-ended antenna to the differential interface required by the RF device port.
Figure 3-9 shows a typical example with a balun. The RF_Bias is connected to the balun center-tap
providing the proper DC bias voltage to the balun depending on RX or TX.

Transceiver Indirect Access Register Application Functions
Operation of the indirect access register is described in Section 6.13.33, “Transceiver Indirect Access
Registers (INDEX and DATA)”. These registers are generally reserved, but are used to provide three
application functions:
1. 16-Bit Pseudo-Random Number Generator - see Section 6.11, “Hardware Pseudo-Random
Number Generator”.
2. Set transmit power - the desired transmit power level of the transceiver power amplifier (PA) is set
across three indirect access registers plus the direct access PA_PWR_CNTL Register. This is
described in Section 6.13.25, “Power Amplifier (PA) Power Control Register (PA_PWR_CNTL)”
and Freescale provides a software utility that is called to set desired output power.
3. Controlling the analog voltage regulator for low power operation - the MC13234/MC13237 has
several onboard series voltage regulators, and the primary analog regulator for the radio must be
controlled when entering and exiting lower power modes. Three indirect registers are involved:
— Indirect Address 0x1D - disable default mode of analog regulator; set to value 0x00. This needs
be done only once as part of initialization after a system reset of any kind.
— Indirect Address 0x61 - enable direct control of analog regulator; set value to 0x01. This needs
be done only once as part of initialization after a system reset of any kind.
— Indirect Address 0x60 - provide direct control (on/off) of analog regulator. Set to value 0x01
(enable) to enable analog regulator before normal operation. Set to value 0x00 (disable) before
entering low power operation.

System Considerations
3.11
General System Considerations for Low Power Operation
Low power is most important for battery operated applications such as 802.15.4 End Devices. Although
the MC13234/MC13237 is inherently a low power device, both normal “run” as well as low power or
“sleep” modes can be optimized for lowest net energy usage, i.e., longest battery life. The following
descriptions give guidelines for optimizing lowest power.
NOTE
This discussion is simply an overview of run and low power mode
considerations. The user should become familiar with the referenced
document material to understand detailed control and operation of the
MC13234/MC13237 when running and entering/exiting low power modes.
3.11.1
Run Mode Considerations
Run mode current is dominated by the operating frequency of the MCU and its peripherals and the
transceiver (radio) over-the-air RF activity (transmit, receive, and CCA/ED cycles). To minimize current
usage:
1. Disable bus clocks to all unused peripherals - see Section 5.8.12, “System Clock Gating Control 1
Register (SCGC1)” and Section 5.8.13, “System Clock Gating Control 2 Register (SCGC2)”.
2. Consider running at a lower CPU/bus clock frequency - see Section 5.8.10, “System Oscillator
Management and Control Register 1 (SOMC1)”.
— Programming a lower run frequency impacts peripheral baud rates and speeds, as well as
application performance. It is the user’s responsibility to account for these changes when
operating at the lower frequency.
— Flash can be erased and programmed only at full CPU/bus clock rate (32MHz/16MHz)
3. If possible, minimize transceiver “on” time - this is most likely to be receiver “on” time. Evaluate
protocol usage to minimize receiver activity if possible.
3.11.2
Low Power Mode Considerations
NOTE
This discussion is primarily an overview of low power mode considerations.
The user is directed to Section 5.7.6, “Stop3 Mode” and Section 5.7.7,
“Mode Selection” for additional detailed information.
Depending on use model, the low power mode can dominate overall current usage. Low power
considerations include:
1. All GPIO must be configured for low power operation — Configure all unused GPIO - see Section 3.8.1, “GPIO Characteristics”
— Some GPIO may need to be re-configured when entering/exiting low power mode - this is to
assure that there is no excess current usage.
2. Wake-up is possible from — Push button operation via KBI interrupt request
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
3-16
Freescale Semiconductor
System Considerations
— Timer operation using the Real Time Counter (RTC)
— UART receive activity via an RXD transition interrupt request
3. When using the RTC — If the wake-up time period can vary by approximately +/-40% use the internal 1 kHz oscillator.
This has lowest power and lowest cost
— If the wake-up time period must be crystal accurate, use the external clock option for the RTC
timer with a 32.768 kHz crystal. This has the advantage of crystal accuracy and the
disadvantage of higher cost.
4. Stop3 mode - see Section 5.7.6, “Stop3 Mode”
— Actual wake-up time from low power to run mode is less than 1 ms - see data sheet
(MC13237.pdf)
— The analog regulator must be disabled for lowest power in Stop3 - see Section 3.10,
“Transceiver Indirect Access Register Application Functions”
5. Best practice is to disable the MCU low voltage detect (LVD) during low power mode. Transition
between Low-Power Run mode and Stop3 mode needs extra steps. See Section 5.7.6.6, “Stop3 and
LPRun Mode Transition”
— LVD is only available for Stop3 mode
— Use LVD only if required.
— LVD current usage penalty is significant - see data sheet (MC13237.pdf)
3.11.3
Entering/Exiting Low Power Mode
The following flow summarizes application steps for entering low power from a run condition:
1. Exit any stack/application gracefully - save any required parameters, shut down any tasks that are
affected.
2. As required configure any GPIO for low power operation -it is assumed that during system
initialization, any unused GPIO are configured properly so as to not cause excess leakage current.
At this point, re-configure any GPIO in use that may special handling during low power so as to
not cause excess leakage.
3. Disable the transceiver analog regulator if required - see Section 3.10, “Transceiver Indirect
Access Register Application Functions”.
4. Disable any active peripheral clocks.
5. Initiate any required wake-up sources / interrupts - choosing means and clocks as previously
recommended.
6. Clear LVW/LVD as required.
7. Prepare “Stop” mode conditions in System Control Registers, see Section 5.8, “System Control
Register Definitions”. This includes setting the Stop Enable bit.
8. Execute a STOP instruction.
Recovery from Stop3 is from a “suspended” state (registers and RAM were retained) and resumes as an
interrupt service routine as triggered by the wake-up source. In this situation, recovery code typically does

not use normal system initialization. The recovery code must restore any conditions (such as GPIO usage)
to pre-sleep operation.

Register Addresses and Bit Assignments
The various control and status registers in MC13234/MC13237 are divided into the following groups:
• Direct-page registers (Address 0x0000-0x007F) - are located in the first 128 locations in the
memory map; these are accessible with efficient direct addressing mode instructions.
— Direct-page registers can be accessed with efficient direct addressing mode instructions
— Bit manipulation instructions can be used to access any bit in any direct-page register
— Table 4-2 shows a summary of all user-accessible direct-page registers and control bits.
• High-page registers (Address 0x1800-0x187F) - are used much less often, so they are located
above 0x1800 in the memory map. This leaves more room in the direct page for more frequently
used registers and RAM. Table 4-3 shows a summary of all high-page registers and control bits.
The high-page registers have two use models:
— Conventional direct access - these are the majority of registers
— Indirect access - addresses 0x185B and 0x185C are used to access a block of transceiver
register using an indirect access method. See Section 6.13.33, “Transceiver Indirect Access
Registers (INDEX and DATA)” for details.
• Flash control registers (Address 0xFFB0–0xFFBF) - this nonvolatile register area consists of a
block of 16 locations in flash memory and includes:
— NVPROT and NVOPT are loaded into working registers at reset
— An 8-byte back door comparison key that optionally allows a user to gain controlled access to
secure memory
NOTE
Because the flash nonvolatile register locations are flash memory, they must
be erased and programmed like other flash memory locations.
Table 4-2 shows a summary of all user-accessible direct-page registers and control bits, Table 4-3 shows
a summary of all high-page registers and control bits, and Table 4-4 shows reserved flash memory
addresses. For these tables:
• The direct page registers in Table 4-2 can use the more efficient direct addressing mode, which
requires only the lower byte of the address. Because of this, the lower byte of the address in column
one is shown in bold text.
• In Table 4-3 and Table 4-4, the whole address in column one is shown in bold.
• In Table 4-2, Table 4-3, and Table 4-4 — The register names in column two are shown in bold to set them apart from the bit names to the
right
— Cells that are not associated with named bits are shaded.
– A shaded cell with a 0 indicates this unused bit always reads as a 0
– Shaded cells with dashes indicate unused or reserved bit locations that could read as 1s or
0s. When writing to these bits, write a 0 unless otherwise specified.

Address 0x0035 to 0x0037, KBI2 registers are available in MC13234 only.
High-page registers, shown in Table 4-3, are accessed much less often than other I/O and control registers
so they have been located outside the direct addressable memory space, starting at 0x1800.

Several reserved flash memory locations, shown in Table 4-4, are used for storing values used by several
registers. These registers include an 8-byte back door key, NVBACKKEY, which can be used to gain
access to secure memory resources. During reset events, the contents of NVPROT and NVOPT in the
reserved flash memory are transferred into corresponding FPROT and FOPT registers in the high-page
registers area to control security and block protection options.

SEC
Provided the key enable (KEYEN) bit is 1, the 8-byte comparison key can be used to temporarily
disengage memory security. This key mechanism can be accessed only through user code running in secure
memory. (A security key cannot be entered directly through background debug commands.) This security
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8

Memory
key can be disabled completely by programming the KEYEN bit to 0. If the security key is disabled, the
only way to disengage security is by mass erasing the flash if needed (normally through the background
debug interface) and verifying that flash is blank. To avoid returning to secure mode after the next reset,
program the security bits (SEC) to the unsecured state (1:0).
4.4
Memory Management Unit
The memory management unit (MMU) allows the program and data space for the CPU to be extended
beyond the 64K byte CPU addressable memory map. The MMU uses a paging scheme where the extended
flash memory is accessed within a 16-kilobyte window located between addresses 0x8000 and 0xBFFF of
the standard 64-kilobyte address range. The window can access the entire extended address range of the
128-kilobyte flash memory block. The extended memory when used for data can also be accessed linearly
using a linear address pointer and data access registers.
4.4.1
Features
Key features of the MMU module are:
• Memory Management Unit extends the HCS08 memory space
— up to 4M bytes for program and data space
• Extended program space using paging scheme
— PPAGE register used for page selection
— fixed 16K byte memory window
— architecture supports up to 256, 16K pages
• Extended data space using linear address pointer
— up to 22-bit linear address pointer
— linear address pointer and data register provided in direct page allows access of complete flash
memory map using direct page instructions
— optional auto increment of pointer when data accessed
— supports an 2s complement addition/subtraction to address pointer without using any math
instructions or memory resources
— supports word accesses to any address specified by the linear address pointer when using
LDHX, STHX instructions

Program Page Register (PPAGE)
The HCS08 Core architecture limits the CPU addressable space available to 64K bytes. The address space
can be extended to 128K bytes using a paging window scheme. The Program Page (PPAGE) allows for
selecting one of the 16K byte blocks to be accessed through the Program Page Window located at
0x8000-0xBFFF. The CALL and RTC instructions can load or store the value of PPAGE onto or from the
stack during program execution. After any reset, PPAGE is set to PAGE 2.

Linear Address Pointer Registers 2:0 (LAP2:LAP0)
The three registers, LAP2:LAP0 contain the 17-bit linear address that allows the user to access any flash
location in the extended address map. This register is used in conjunction with the data registers, linear
byte (LB), linear byte post increment (LBP) and linear word post increment (LWP). The contents of
LAP2:LAP0 will auto-increment when accessing data using the LBP and LWP registers. The contents of
LAP2:LAP0 can be increased by writing an 8-bit value to LAPAB.

Linear Word Post Increment Register (LWP)
This register is one of three data registers that the user can use to access any flash memory location in the
extended address map. When LWP is accessed the contents of LAP2:LAP0 make up the extended address
of the flash memory location to be addressed. When accessing data using LWP, the contents of
LAP2:LAP0 will increment after the read or write is complete.
Accessing LWP does the same thing as accessing LBP. The MMU register ordering of LWP followed by
LBP, allow the user to access data by words using the LDHX or STHX instructions of the LWP register.

Functional Description
4.4.3.1
Memory Expansion
The HCS08 Core architecture limits the CPU addressable space available to 64K bytes. The Program Page
(PPAGE) allows for integrating up to 4M byte of flash into the system by selecting one of the 16K byte
blocks to be accessed through the Paging Window located at 0x8000-0xBFFF. The MMU module also
provides a linear address pointer that allows extension of data access up to 4M bytes.
4.4.3.1.1
Program Space
The PPAGE register holds the page select value for the Paging Window. The value in PPAGE can be
manipulated by using normal read and write instructions as well as the CALL and RTC instructions. The
user should not change PPAGE directly when running from paged memory, only CALL and RTC should
be used.
When the MMU detects that the CPU is addressing the Paging Window, the value currently in PPAGE will
be used to create an extended address that the MCU’s decode logic will use to select the desired flash
location.
As seen in Figure 4-1, the flash blocks in the CPU addressable memory can be accessed directly or using
the Paging Window and PPAGE register. For example, the flash from location 0x4000-0x7FFF can be
accessed directly or using the paging window, PPAGE = 1, address 0x8000-0xBFFF.
4.4.3.1.2
CALL and RTC (Return from Call) Instructions
CALL and RTC are instructions that perform automated page switching when executed in the user
program. CALL is similar to a JSR instruction, but the subroutine that is called can be located anywhere
in the normal 64K byte address space or on any page of program memory.
During the execution of a CALL instruction, the CPU:
•
•
•
•
Stacks the return address.
Pushes the current PPAGE value onto the stack.
Writes the new instruction-supplied PPAGE value into the PPAGE register.
Transfers control to the subroutine of the new instruction-supplied address.
This sequence is not interruptible; there is no need to inhibit interrupts during CALL execution. A CALL
can be executed from any address in memory to any other address.
The new PPAGE value is provided by an immediate operand in the instruction along with the address
within the paging window, 0x8000-0xBFFF.
RTC is similar to an RTS instruction.
The RTC instruction terminates subroutines invoked by a CALL instruction.
During the execution of an RTC instruction, the CPU:
•
Pulls the old PPAGE value from the stack and loads it into the PPAGE register
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
4-18
Freescale Semiconductor
Memory
•
Pulls the 16-bit return address from the stack and loads it into the PC
•
Resumes execution at the return address
This sequence is not interruptible; there is no need to inhibit interrupts during RTC execution. An RTC
can be executed from any address in memory.
4.4.3.1.3
Data Space
The linear address pointer registers, LAP2:LAP0 along with the linear data register allow the CPU to read
or write any address in the extended flash memory space. This linear address pointer may be used to access
data from any memory location while executing code from any location in extended memory, including
accessing data from a different PPAGE than the currently executing program.
To access data using the linear address pointer, the user would first setup the extended address in the 17-bit
address pointer, LAP2:LAP0. Accessing one of the three linear data registers LB, LBP and LWP will
access the extended memory location specified by LAP2:LAP0. The three linear data registers access the
memory locations in the same way, however the LBP and LWP will also increment LAP2:LAP0.
Accessing either the LBP or LWP registers allows a user program to read successive memory locations
without re-writing the linear address pointer. Accessing LBP or LWP does the exact same function.
However, because of the address mapping of the registers with LBP following LWP, a user can do word
accesses in the extended address space using the LDHX or STHX instructions to access location LWP.
The MMU supports the addition of a 2s complement value to the linear address pointer without using any
math instructions or memory resources. Writes to LAPAB with a 2s complement value will cause the
MMU to add that value to the existing value in LAP2:LAP0.
4.4.3.1.4
PPAGE and Linear Address Pointer to Extended Address
See Figure 4-1, on how the program PPAGE memory pages and the Linear Address Pointer are mapped to
extended address space.
4.5
RAM
The HCS08 includes static RAM. The locations in RAM below 0x0100 can be accessed using the more
efficient direct addressing mode, and any single bit in this area can be accessed with the bit manipulation
instructions (BCLR, BSET, BRCLR, and BRSET). Locating the most frequently accessed program
variables in this area of RAM is preferred.
At power-on, the contents of RAM are not initialized. RAM data is unaffected by any reset provided that
the supply voltage does not drop below the minimum value for RAM retention (VRAM).
For compatibility with M68HC05 MCUs, the HCS08 resets the stack pointer to 0x00FF. In the
MC13234/MC13237, it is usually best to reinitialize the stack pointer to the top of the RAM so the direct
page RAM can be used for frequently accessed RAM variables and bit-addressable program variables.
Include the following 2-instruction sequence in the reset initialization routine (where RamLast is equated
to the highest address of the RAM in the Freescale Semiconductor-provided equate file).

Memory
When security is enabled, the RAM is considered a secure memory resource and is not accessible through
BDM or through code executing from non-secure memory. See Section 4.6.5, “Flash Module Security”,
for a detailed description of the security feature.
4.6
Flash
The flash memory is intended primarily for program storage. In-circuit programming allows the operating
program to be loaded into the flash memory after final assembly of the application product. It is possible
to program the entire array through the single-wire background debug interface. Because no special
voltages are needed for flash erase and programming operations, in-application programming is also
possible through other software-controlled communication paths.
The flash memory is ideal for single-supply applications allowing for field reprogramming without
requiring external high voltage sources for program or erase operations. The flash module includes a
memory controller that executes commands to modify flash memory contents.
For flash memory, an erased bit reads 1 and a programmed bit reads 0. It is not possible to read from a flash
block while any command is executing on that specific flash block.
•
•
CAUTION
A flash block address must be in the erased state before being
programmed. Cumulative programming of bits within a flash block
address is not allowed except for status field updates required in
EEPROM emulation applications.
The flash can be written and erased only with the CPU/Bus clocks
programmed for maximum frequency, i.e., 32 MHz and 16 MHz
respectively.
For more details about in-circuit and in-application programming, see the HCS08 Family Reference
Manual, Volume I, Freescale Semiconductor document order number HCS08RMv1/D.

The FPROT bits are readable and writable as long as the size of the protected flash memory is being
increased. Any write to FPROT that attempts to decrease the size of the protected flash memory will be
ignored and the PVIOL flag in the FSTAT register will not be set (see Section 4.6.2.4).
During the reset sequence, the FPROT register is loaded from the flash protection byte, NVPROT. To
change the flash protection that will be loaded during the reset sequence, the flash sector containing
NVPROT must be unprotected and erased (FPS=0x7F and FPOP=0 for S08FTSR, FPHS=0x1F and
FPLS!=0x0 for S12SFTSR, FPS=0x7F and FPOP=0 for CFV1FTSR), then NVPROT can be
reprogrammed.
Trying to alter data in any protected area in the flash memory will result in a protection violation error and
the FPVIOL flag will be set in the FSTAT register. The mass erase of the flash array is not possible in NVM
user mode if any of the flash sectors contained in the flash array are protected.

Functional Description
The following describes operation of the flash block.
4.6.3.1
Flash Command Operations
Flash command operations are used to execute program, erase, and erase verify algorithms described in
this section. The program and erase algorithms are controlled by the flash memory controller whose time
base, FCLK, is derived from the bus clock via a programmable divider.
The next sections describe:
1. Command write sequences to program, erase, and erase verify operations on the flash memory
2. Valid flash commands
3. Effects resulting from illegal flash command write sequences or aborting flash operations
4.6.3.1.1
Flash Program and Erase Timing
The flash can be programmed on a byte or burst basis, and can be erased on a sector or mass (total flash)
basis as controlled by the command mode. All program or erase operations must be done at the default or
max CPU clock (32 MHz) / bus clock (16 MHz) rate.

Command Write Sequence
The flash command controller is used to supervise the command write sequence to execute program, erase,
and erase verify algorithms.
Before starting a command write sequence, the FACCERR and FPVIOL flags in the FSTAT register must
be clear and the FCBEF flag must be set (see Section 4.6.2.4, “Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”).
A command write sequence consists of three steps which must be strictly adhered to with writes to the flash
module not permitted between the steps. However, flash register and array reads are allowed during a
command write sequence. The basic command write sequence is as follows:
1. Write to a valid address in the flash array memory.
2. Write a valid command to the FCMD register.
3. Clear the FCBEF flag in the FSTAT register by writing a 1 to FCBEF to launch the command.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
4-27
Memory
After a command is launched, the completion of the command operation is indicated by the setting of the
FCCF flag in the FSTAT register with an interrupt generated, if enabled. The FCCF flag will set upon
completion of all active and buffered burst program commands.
A command write sequence can be aborted prior to clearing the CBEIF flag by writing a 0 to the CBEIF
flag and will result in the ACCERR flag in the FSTAT register being set. The ACCERR flag in the FSTAT
register must be cleared prior to starting a new command write sequence.

Erase Verify Command
The erase verify operation will verify that a flash block is erased.
An example flow to execute the erase verify operation is shown in Figure 4-12. The erase verify command
write sequence is as follows:
1. Write to an aligned flash block address to start the command write sequence for the erase verify
command. The address and data written will be ignored.
2. Write the erase verify command, 0x05, to the FCMD register.
3. Clear the FCBEF flag in the FSTAT register by writing a 1 to FCBEF to launch the erase verify
command.
After launching the erase verify command, the FCCF flag in the FSTAT register will set after the operation
has completed. The number of bus cycles required to execute the erase verify operation is equal to the
number of addresses in the flash array memory plus several bus cycles as measured from the time the

4.6.3.2.3
Burst Program Command
The burst program operation will program previously erased data in the flash memory using an embedded
algorithm.
While burst programming, two internal data registers operate as a buffer and a register (2-stage FIFO) so
that a second burst programming command along with the necessary data can be stored to the buffers while
the first burst programming command is still in progress. This pipe lined operation allows a time
optimization when programming more than one consecutive address on a specific row in the flash array as
the high voltage generation can be kept active in between two programming commands.
An example flow to execute the burst program operation is shown in Figure 4-14. The burst program
command write sequence is as follows:
1. Write to an aligned flash block address to start the command write sequence for the burst program
command. The data written will be programmed to the address written.
2. Write the program burst command, 0x25, to the FCMD register.
3. Clear the FCBEF flag in the FSTAT register by writing a 1 to FCBEF to launch the program burst
command.
4. After the FCBEF flag in the FSTAT register returns to a 1 (interrupt generated, if enabled), repeat
steps 1 through 3. The address written is ignored but increments internally.
The burst program procedure can be used to program the entire flash memory even while crossing row
boundaries within the flash array. If data to be burst programmed falls within a protected area of the flash
array, the FPVIOL flag in the FSTAT register will set and the burst program command will not launch.
After the burst program command has successfully launched, the FCCF flag in the FSTAT register will set
after the burst program operation has completed unless a new burst program command write sequence has
been buffered. By executing a new burst program command write sequence on sequential addresses after
the FCBEF flag in the FSTAT register has been set, greater than 50% faster programming time for the
entire flash array can be effectively achieved when compared to using the basic program command.

Illegal Flash Operations
4.6.3.3.1
Flash Access Violations
The FACCERR flag will be set during the command write sequence if any of the following illegal steps
are performed, causing the command write sequence to immediately abort:
1. Writing a byte or misaligned word to a valid flash address for S12SFTSR.
2. Writing a byte, word, or misaligned double word to a valid flash address for CFV1FTSR.
3. Writing to any flash register other than FCMD after writing to a flash address.
4. Writing to a second flash address in the same command write sequence.
5. Writing an invalid command to the FCMD register unless the address written was in a protected
area of the flash array.
6. Writing a command other than burst program while FCBEF is set and FCCF is clear.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
4-33
Memory
7. When security is enabled, writing a command other than mass erase to the FCMD register when
the write originates from a non-secure memory location or from the background debug mode.
8. Writing to a flash address after writing to the FCMD register.
9. Writing to any flash register other than FSTAT (to clear FCBEF) after writing to the FCMD
register.
10. Writing a 0 to the FCBEF flag in the FSTAT register to abort a command write sequence.
The FACCERR flag will also be set if the MCU enters stop mode while a program or erase operation is
active. The operation is aborted immediately and, if burst programming, any pending burst program
command is purged (see Section 4.6.4.2, “Stop Mode”).
The FACCERR flag will not be set if any flash register is read during a valid command write sequence.
If the flash memory is read during execution of an algorithm (FCCF = 0), the read operation will return
invalid data in NVM user mode and the FACCERR flag will not be set.
If the FACCERR flag is set in the FSTAT register, the user must clear the FACCERR flag before starting
another command write sequence (see Section 4.6.2.4, “Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”).
4.6.3.3.2
Flash Protection Violations
The FPVIOL flag will be set after the command is written to the FCMD register during a command write
sequence if any of the following illegal operations are attempted, causing the command write sequence to
immediately abort:
1. Writing the program command if the address written in the command write sequence was in a
protected area of the flash array.
2. Writing the sector erase command if the address written in the command write sequence was in a
protected area of the flash array.
3. Writing the mass erase command while any flash protection is enabled.
4. Writing an invalid command if the address written in the command write sequence was in a
protected area of the flash array. In NVM user and test modes, unimplemented commands started
through array writes, with the given address pointing to a protected area, will always return a
protection violation instead of a FAIL flag. For valid commands, protection is checked prior to
command execution.
If the FPVIOL flag is set in the FSTAT register, the user must clear the FPVIOL flag before starting another
command write sequence (see Section 4.6.2.4, “Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”).
4.6.4
4.6.4.1
Operating Modes
Wait Mode
If a command is active (FCCF = 0) when the MCU enters wait mode, the active command and any buffered
command will be completed.
The flash module can recover the MCU from wait mode if the CBEIF and CCIF interrupts are enabled.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
4-34
Freescale Semiconductor
Memory
4.6.4.2
Stop Mode
If a command is active (FCCF = 0) when the MCU enters stop mode, the operation will be aborted and, if
the operation is program or erase, the flash array data being programmed or erased may be corrupted and
the FCCF and FACCERR flags will be set. If active, the high voltage circuitry to the flash array will
immediately be switched off when entering stop mode. Upon exit from stop mode, the FCBEF flag is set
and any buffered command will not be launched. The FACCERR flag must be cleared before starting a
command write sequence (see Section 4.6.3.1.2, “Command Write Sequence”).
NOTE
As active commands are immediately aborted when the MCU enters stop
mode, it is strongly recommended that the user does not use the STOP
instruction during program or erase operations.
4.6.4.3
Background Debug Mode
In background debug mode (BDM), the FPROT register is writable. If the MCU is unsecured, then all flash
commands listed in Table 4-23 can be executed. If the MCU is secured and is in special mode, only the
erase verify and mass erase commands can be executed.
4.6.5
Flash Module Security
The HCS08 includes circuitry to prevent unauthorized access to the contents of flash and RAM memory.
When security is engaged, flash and RAM are considered secure resources. Direct-page registers,
high-page registers, and the background debug controller are considered unsecured resources. Programs
executing within secure memory have normal access to any MCU memory locations and resources.
Attempts to access a secure memory location with a program executing from an unsecured memory space
or through the background debug interface are blocked (writes are ignored and reads return all 0s).
The flash module provides the necessary security information to the MCU. During each reset sequence,
the flash module determines the security state of the MCU as defined in Section 4.6.2.1, “Flash Options
Register (FOPT and NVOPT)””.
The contents of the flash security byte in NVSEC must be changed directly by programming the NVSEC
location when the MCU is unsecured and the sector containing NVSEC is unprotected. If NVSEC is left
in a secured state, any reset will cause the MCU to initialize into a secure operating mode.
The on-chip debug module cannot be enabled while the MCU is secure. The separate background debug
controller can still be used for background memory access commands of unsecured resources.
4.6.5.1
Unsecuring the MCU using Back Door Key Access
The MCU may be unsecured by using the back door key access feature which requires knowledge of the
contents of the back door keys (NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7, see Table 4-4 for specific
addresses). If the KEYEN[1:0] bits are in the enabled state (see Section 4.6.2.1, “Flash Options Register
(FOPT and NVOPT)”) and the KEYACC bit is set, a write to a back door key address in the flash memory
triggers a comparison between the written data and the back door key data stored in the flash memory. If
all back door keys are written to the correct addresses in the correct order and the data matches the back
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
4-35
Memory
door keys stored in the flash memory, the MCU will be unsecured. The data must be written to the back
door keys sequentially. Values 0x0000 and 0xFFFF are not permitted as back door keys. While the
KEYACC bit is set, reads of the flash memory will return invalid data.
The user code stored in the flash memory must have a method of receiving the back door keys from an
external stimulus. This external stimulus would typically be through one of the on-chip serial ports.
If the KEYEN[1:0] bits are in the enabled state (see Section 4.6.2.1, “Flash Options Register (FOPT and
NVOPT)”), the MCU can be unsecured by the back door key access sequence described below:
1. Set the KEYACC bit in the flash configuration register (FCNFG).
2. Sequentially write the correct eight 8-bit bytes to the flash addresses containing the back door keys
for S08FTSR.
3. Sequentially write the correct four 16-bit words to the flash addresses containing the back door
keys for S12SFTSR.
4. Sequentially write the correct two 32-bit double words to the flash addresses containing the back
door keys for CFV1FTSR.
5. Clear the KEYACC bit. Depending on the user code used to write the back door keys, a wait cycle
(NOP) may be required before clearing the KEYACC bit.
6. If all data written match the back door keys, the MCU is unsecured and the SEC[1:0] bits in the
FSEC register are forced to the unsecure state of 1:0.
The back door key access sequence is monitored by an internal security state machine. An illegal operation
during the back door key access sequence will cause the security state machine to lock, leaving the MCU
in the secured state. A reset of the MCU will cause the security state machine to exit the lock state and
allow a new back door key access sequence to be attempted. The following operations during the back door
key access sequence will lock the security state machine:
1. If any of the keys written does not match the back door keys programmed in the flash array.
2. If the keys are written in the wrong sequence.
3. If more keys than are required are written.
4. If any of the keys written are all 0’s or all 1’s.
5. If the KEYACC bit does not remain set while the keys are written.
6. If any of the keys are written on successive MCU clock cycles.
7. Executing a STOP instruction while the KEYACC bit is set.
After the back door keys have been correctly matched, the MCU will be unsecured. After the MCU is
unsecured, the flash security byte can be programmed to the unsecure state, if desired.
In the unsecure state, the user has full control of the contents of the back door keys by programming the
associated addresses in NVBACKKEY through NVBACKKEY+7.
The security as defined in the flash security byte is not changed by using the back door key access sequence
to unsecure. The stored back door keys are unaffected by the back door key access sequence. After the next
reset of the MCU, the security state of the flash module is determined by the flash security byte. The back
door key access sequence has no effect on the program and erase protections defined in the flash protection
register (FPROT).

It is not possible to unsecure the MCU in special mode by using the back door key access sequence in
background debug mode (BDM) as the BDM will not allow flash array writes to the flash module.

If a reset occurs while any flash command is in progress, that command will be immediately aborted. The
state of the flash array address being programmed or the sector/block being erased is not guaranteed.

System Management and Control
5.3
System Reset
The MC13234/MC13237 provides complete management of system reset and recovery/initialization from
reset. Resetting the MCU provides a way to start processing from a known set of initial conditions.
During reset:
•
•
•
•
•
Most control and status registers are forced to initial values
The program counter is loaded from the reset vector (0xFFFE:0xFFFF) so that at release of reset
the CPU starts executing instructions from this address
On-chip peripheral modules are disabled
I/O pins are initially configured as general-purpose high-impedance inputs with pullup devices
disabled.
The I bit in the condition code register (CCR) is set to block maskable interrupts so the user
program has a chance to initialize the stack pointer (SP) and system control settings. SP is forced
to 0x00FF at reset.
The sources of reset for the MC13234/MC13237 can be loosely divided into the power-on reset circuit
(POR) and all others:
• Power-on reset
— The POR is only activated or cycled by the main VDD supply. If a reset is initiated by any other
source than a power cycle or the low-voltage detect, the POR is not involved.
— Factory test mode is enabled via POR and is not desired for normal operation. Signal PTA2
must be held low during release of POR to allow the device to enter normal operation.
— The low-voltage detect reset is enabled out of POR and the power supply voltage must rise and
exceed the LVD rising-edge threshold or the device will be held in reset. After the rising edge
threshold is exceeded, the reset is released.
• Other reset sources
— External asynchronous RESET pin - holding RESET asserted for an extended period affects
the reference oscillator, see Section 5.4.1, “Clock Sources”.
— Computer operating properly (COP) timer
— Illegal opcode detect (ILOP)
— Illegal Address detect (ILAP)
— Low-voltage detect (LVD)
— Background debug forced reset
Each of these sources, with the exception of the background debug forced reset, has an associated bit in
the System Reset Status Register (SRS).
Reset or a partial reset is also affected by exit from low power modes.

5.4.1
Clock Sources
The HCS08 has 3 possible clock sources, i.e., the 32 MHz reference oscillator, an on board self-contained
1 kHz ring oscillator, and an optional 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator.
• Reference oscillator - is the primary clock source for the device
— 32 MHz is the required frequency.
— A crystal is used with the onboard amplifier.
— Frequency accuracy of +/-40 ppm or better for IEEE 802.15.4 compatibility must be
maintained over all conditions.
— See Chapter 3, “System Considerations” for more information about this oscillator.
— Trim the crystal oscillator frequency accuracy by changing the on board load capacitance.
— The reference oscillator can be disabled when the hardware RESET pin is enabled (active low)
if RESET is held active for more than 69 bus clock cycles then the oscillator will be disabled.
• 1 kHz ring oscillator - is the default oscillator source for the Real Time Clock (RTC) which can be
used as a wake-up source and for the COP timer. The 1 kHz oscillator is disabled only if not
selected for use by the RTC or the COP.
• Optional 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator - is available with the addition of an external 32.768 kHz
crystal (see Chapter 3, “System Considerations”). This oscillator typically replaces the use of the
ring oscillator if a low power, high accuracy source is desired for wake-up and the RTC.

Clock Distribution Network Features
The primary reference oscillator is 32 MHz
The 32 MHz reference drives the transceiver 802.15.4 PHY block directly.
The CPU and bus clocks are all derived from the reference oscillator and a programmable divider
(prescaler)
— The CPU clock is determined by the prescaler divide ratio as set by the RDIV[2:0] field of the
System Oscillator Management and Control Register 1 (SOMC1 )- divide ratios are
programmable from 1 to 64 (default = 1). Lower core clock rates reduce power, but also reduce
performance.
— The bus clock is always the CPU clock divided-by-2. All MCU peripherals are driven by the
bus clock.
The Real Time Clock (RTC) source clock is selected from the reference oscillator, the onboard 1
kHz RC oscillator or the optional 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator
The COP is optionally driven from the onboard 1 kHz RC oscillator or the bus clock.
Managing Clock Resources
The HCS08 provides the following for managing the clock resources:
1. System Oscillator Management and Control Register 1, see Section 5.8.10, “System Oscillator
Management and Control Register 1 (SOMC1)”- this register sets the CPU clock prescale integer,
enables the 32.768 kHz oscillator, controls the Stop mode oscillator, and enables the optional clock
out pin for the 32.768 kHz oscillator.
2. System Oscillator Management and Control Register 2, see Section 5.8.11, “System Oscillator
Management and Control Register 2 (SOMC2)”- this register controls the trim capacitance that
adjusts the reference oscillator frequency.
3. System Clock Gating Control Registers, see Section 5.8.12, “System Clock Gating Control 1
Register (SCGC1)” and Section 5.8.13, “System Clock Gating Control 2 Register (SCGC2)” these registers provide control bits to disable the bus clock to the various peripheral modules. For
power sensitive applications, the current can be minimized by disabling the bus clock to non-used
circuitry.
4. The 1 kHz RC oscillator is disabled if not selected as a source for either the RTC or the COP.
5.5
Management of Timer Resources
To help control operational modes and provide wake-up services to the HCS08, there are the Real-Time
Counter (RTC) and COP blocks.
5.5.1
RTC Timer Resource
The RTC provides a resource for low power wake-up and time “ticks” applicable for software use. The
RTC is described in a separate Chapter 10, “Real-Time Counter (RTC)”.

System Management and Control
5.5.2
Computer Operating Properly (COP) Timer
The COP is a watchdog timer for the MCU and is intended to force a system reset when the application
software fails to execute as expected. To prevent a system reset caused by the COP timer (when it is
enabled), application software must reset the COP counter periodically. If the application program gets lost
and fails to reset the COP counter before it times out, a system reset is generated to force the system back
to a known starting point.
NOTE
The COP is enabled by default when exiting reset. If COP operation is
undesired, it should be disabled as part of the device initialization.
Features of the COP include:
• Clock sources include bus clock and the 1 kHz RC clock
• Two time-out periods are available for each clock source
• The COP is controlled the following bits — COPE - COP enable bit, Register SOPT1
— COPT - COP time-out bit, Register SOPT1
— COPCLKS - COP clock source select bit, Register SOPT2
• The SRS Register (see Section 5.8.1, “Interrupt Pin Request Status and Control Register
(IRQSC)”) also relates to COP operation
— Writing the SRS register address resets the COP timer
— If the COP times-out causing a system reset, the status is reported in the SPS COP status bit.
The COPE bit is the primary enable for the COP (see Section 5.8.4, “System Options Register 1
(SOPT1)”):
• After any reset, the COPE bit becomes set in SOPT1 enabling the COP watchdog.
• If the COP watchdog is not used in an application, it can be disabled by clearing COPE.
The COPCLKS bit in SOPT2 (see Section 5.8.5, “System Options Register 2 (SOPT2)” for additional
information) selects the clock source used for the COP timer. The clock source options are either the bus
clock or an internal 1 kHz clock source.
With each clock source, there is an associated short and long time-out controlled by COPT in SOPT1.
Table 5-1 summaries the control functions of the COPCLKS and COPT bits. The COP watchdog defaults
to operation from the 1 kHz clock source and the associated long time-out (28 cycles).

NOTE
Even if the application uses the reset default settings of COPE, COPCLKS,
and COPT, the user must write to the write-once SOPT1 and SOPT2
registers during reset initialization to lock in the settings. That way, the
settings cannot be changed accidentally if the application program gets lost.
The initial writes to SOPT1 and SOPT2 will reset the COP counter.
The COP counter is reset by writing any value to the address of SRS. This write does not affect the data in
the read-only SRS. Instead, the act of writing to this address is decoded and sends a reset signal to the COP
counter.
NOTE
The write to SRS that services (clears) the COP counter must not be placed
in an interrupt service routine (ISR) because the ISR could continue to be
executed periodically even if the main application program fails.
With regard to operation during Stop mode:
•
•
When the bus clock source is selected, the COP counter does not increment while the system is in
Stop mode. The COP counter resumes as soon as the MCU exits stop mode.
When the 1-kHz clock source is selected, the COP counter is re-initialized to zero upon entry to
Stop mode. The COP counter begins from zero after the MCU exits stop mode.
In background debug mode, the COP counter will not increment.
5.6
Interrupts
Interrupts provide a way to save the current CPU status and registers, execute an interrupt service routine
(ISR), and then restore the CPU status so processing resumes where it left off before the interrupt. Other
than the software interrupt (SWI), which is a program instruction, interrupts are caused by hardware events
such as an edge on the IRQ pin or a timer-overflow event. The debug module can also generate an SWI
under certain circumstances.
If an event occurs in an enabled interrupt source, an associated status flag will become set. The CPU will
not respond unless the local interrupt enable is set to enable the interrupt and the I bit in the CCR is 0 to
allow interrupts. The global interrupt mask (I bit) in the CCR is initially set after reset which prevents all
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
5-6
Freescale Semiconductor
System Management and Control
maskable interrupt sources. The user program initializes the stack pointer and performs other system setup
before clearing the I bit to allow the CPU to respond to interrupts.
When the CPU receives a qualified interrupt request, it completes the current instruction before responding
to the interrupt. The interrupt sequence obeys the same cycle-by-cycle sequence as the SWI instruction
and consists of:
• Saving the CPU registers on the stack
• Setting the I bit in the CCR to mask further interrupts
• Fetching the interrupt vector for the highest-priority interrupt that is currently pending
• Filling the instruction queue with the first three bytes of program information starting from the
address fetched from the interrupt vector locations
While the CPU is responding to the interrupt, the I bit is automatically set to avoid the possibility of
another interrupt interrupting the ISR itself (this is called nesting of interrupts). Normally, the I bit is
restored to 0 when the CCR is restored from the value stacked on entry to the ISR. In rare cases, the I bit
can be cleared inside an ISR (after clearing the status flag that generated the interrupt) so that other
interrupts can be serviced without waiting for the first service routine to finish. This practice is not
recommended for anyone other than the most experienced programmers because it can lead to subtle
program errors that are difficult to debug.
NOTE
In order for the ISR to be available in the memory map regardless of the
PPAGE value, ISRs should be located in Pages 0, 1, or 3.
The interrupt service routine ends with a return-from-interrupt (RTI) instruction which restores the CCR,
A, X, and PC registers to their pre-interrupt values by reading the previously saved information from the
stack.
NOTE
For compatibility with M68HC08 devices, the H register is not
automatically saved and restored. It is good programming practice to push
H onto the stack at the start of the interrupt service routine (ISR) and restore
it immediately before the RTI that is used to return from the ISR.
If more than one interrupt is pending when the I bit is cleared, the highest priority source is serviced first
(see Table 5-2).
5.6.1
Interrupt Stack Frame
Figure 5-2 shows the contents and organization of a stack frame. Before the interrupt, the stack pointer
(SP) points at the next available byte location on the stack. The current values of CPU registers are stored
on the stack starting with the low-order byte of the program counter (PCL) and ending with the CCR. After
stacking, the SP points at the next available location on the stack which is the address that is one less than
the address where the CCR was saved. The PC value that is stacked is the address of the instruction in the
main program that would have executed next if the interrupt had not occurred.

When an RTI instruction is executed, these values are recovered from the stack in reverse order. As part
of the RTI sequence, the CPU fills the instruction pipeline by reading three bytes of program information,
starting from the PC address recovered from the stack.
The status flag corresponding to the interrupt source must be acknowledged (cleared) before returning
from the ISR. Typically, the flag is cleared at the beginning of the ISR so that if another interrupt is
generated by this same source, it will be registered so it can be serviced after completion of the current ISR.
5.6.2
External Interrupt Request (IRQ) Pin
External interrupts are managed by the IRQ status and control register, IRQSC. When the IRQ function is
enabled, synchronous logic monitors the pin for edge-only or edge-and-level events. When the MCU is in
Stop mode and system clocks are shut down, a separate asynchronous path is used so the IRQ pin (if
enabled) can wake the MCU. The external IRQ pin is shared with I/O PTA3.
5.6.2.1
Pin Configuration Options
The IRQ pin enable (IRQPE) control bit in IRQSC must be 1 in order for the IRQ pin to act as the interrupt
request (IRQ) input. As an IRQ input, the user can choose the polarity of edges or levels detected
(IRQEDG), whether the pin detects edges-only or edges and levels (IRQMOD), and whether an event
causes an interrupt or only sets the IRQF flag which can be polled by software (IRQIE).
The IRQ pin, when enabled, defaults to use an internal pull device (IRQPDD = 0), configured as a pullup
or pulldown depending on the polarity chosen. If the user desires to use an external pullup or pulldown,
the IRQPDD can be written to a 1 to turn off the internal device.
BIH and BIL instructions may be used to detect the level on the IRQ pin when the pin is configured to act
as the IRQ input.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
5-8
Freescale Semiconductor
System Management and Control
NOTE
This pin does not contain a clamp diode to VDD and should not be driven
above VDD.
NOTE
The voltage measured on the internally pulled up RESET pin will not be
pulled to VDD. The internal gates connected to this pin are pulled to VDD.
The RESET pullup should not be used to pullup components external to the
MCU.
5.6.2.2
Edge and Level Sensitivity
The IRQMOD control bit configures the detection logic so it detects edge events and pin levels. In the edge
and level detection mode, the IRQF status flag becomes set when an edge is detected (when the IRQ pin
changes from the de-asserted to the asserted level), but the flag is continuously set (and cannot be cleared)
as long as the IRQ pin remains at the asserted level.
5.6.3
Interrupt Vectors, Sources, and Local Masks
Table 5-2 provides a summary of all interrupt sources. Higher-priority sources are located toward the
bottom of the table. The high-order byte of the address for the interrupt service routine is located at the
first address in the vector address column, and the low-order byte of the address for the interrupt service
routine is located at the next higher address.
When an interrupt condition occurs, an associated flag bit becomes set. If the associated local interrupt
enable is set, an interrupt request is sent to the CPU. Within the CPU, if the global interrupt mask (I bit in
the CCR) is 0, the CPU will finish the current instruction; stack the PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR CPU
registers; set the I bit; and then fetch the interrupt vector for the highest priority pending interrupt.
Processing then continues in the interrupt service routine.

5.7
Modes of Operation
The HCS08 provides the following modes of operation:
• Active background mode for code development
• Run mode — CPU running at full speed and the internal supply is fully regulated, radio optionally
active.
• LPRun mode — CPU clock is set to 500 kHz and peripheral clocks (bus clock) to 250 kHz and the
internal voltage regulator is in standby, radio optionally active.
• Wait mode — CPU shuts down to conserve power; system clocks are running and full regulation
is maintained, radio optionally active.
• LPWait mode — CPU shuts down to conserve power; peripheral clocks are set to 250 kHz and the
internal voltage regulator is in standby, radio optionally active.
• Stop3 mode — System clocks are stopped and voltage regulator is in standby. All internal circuits
are powered for fast recovery, radio optionally active, (full regulation set before entering stop).
5.7.1
Run Mode
This is the normal operating mode for the HCS08. In this mode, the CPU executes code from internal
memory with execution beginning at the address fetched from memory at 0xFFFE–0xFFFF after reset.
The 802.15.4 transceiver is available for any transmit or receive operations. The clock CPU frequency is
controlled through the RDIV register to yield: 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, and 0.5 MHz.
5.7.2
Low Power Run Mode (LPRun)
In the low power run mode, the bus clock is modified such that the 32MHz reference clock is divided by
64. In this state, the 802.15.4 transceiver is available for any transmit or receive operations. Power
consumption is reduced the most by disabling the clocks to all unused peripherals by clearing the
corresponding bits in the SCGC1 and SCGC2 registers. The digital regulator is held in standby mode.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
5-11
System Management and Control
Before entering this mode, the following conditions must be met:
• The LVDE or LVDSE bit in SPMSC1 register must be clear. LVD and LVW will automatically be
disabled.
• Flash programming/erasing is not allowed.
• The MCU cannot be in active background mode.
After these conditions are met, low power run mode can be entered by setting the LPR bit in the SPMSC2
register.
To exit LPRun and re-enter standard run mode, simply clear the LPR bit:
• The LPRS bit in the SPMSC2 register is a read-only status bit that can be used to determine when
the regulator has returned to full regulation mode.
• When LPRS is cleared to ‘0’, the regulator is in full regulation mode and the MCU has
automatically returned to full CPU clock speed (RDIV = 0x0). If the application was using a lower
CPU clock rate before entering LPRun, this condition must be re-initiated by writing RDIV field.
5.7.2.1
Interrupts in Low Power Run Mode
Low power run mode provides the option to return to full regulation if any interrupt occurs. This is done
by setting the LPWUI bit in the SPMSC2 register. The bus clock returns to full speed immediately in the
interrupt service routine.
If the LPWUI bit is clear, interrupts will be serviced in low power run mode.
5.7.2.2
Resets in Low Power Run Mode
Any reset will exit low power run mode, clear the LPR and LPRS bits and return the device to normal run
mode.
5.7.3
Active Background Mode
The active background mode functions are managed through the background debug controller (BDC) in
the HCS08 core. The BDC, together with the on-chip debug module (DBG), provide the means for
analyzing MCU operation during software development.
Active background mode is entered in any of six ways:
• When the BKGD/MS pin is low during POR
• When the BKGD/MS pin is low immediately after issuing a background debug force reset (see
Section 5.8.3, “System Background Debug Force Reset Register (SBDFR)”)
• When a BACKGROUND command is received through the BKGD/MS pin
• When a BGND instruction is executed
• When encountering a BDC breakpoint
• When encountering a DBG breakpoint
After entering active background mode, the CPU is held in a suspended state waiting for serial background
commands rather than executing instructions from the user application program.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
5-12
Freescale Semiconductor
System Management and Control
Background commands are of two types:
• Non-intrusive commands, defined as commands that can be issued while the user program is
running. Non-intrusive commands can be issued through the BKGD pin while the MCU is in run
mode; non-intrusive commands can also be executed when the MCU is in the active background
mode. Non-intrusive commands include:
— Memory access commands
— Memory-access-with-status commands
— BDC register access commands
— The BACKGROUND command
• Active background commands, which can only be executed while the MCU is in active background
mode. Active background commands include commands to:
— Read or write CPU registers
— Trace one user program instruction at a time
— Leave active background mode to return to the user application program (GO)
The active background mode is used to program a bootloader or user application program into the flash
program memory before the MCU is operated in run mode for the first time. When the HCS08 is shipped
from the Freescale Semiconductor factory, the flash program memory is erased by default unless
specifically noted, so there is no program that could be executed in run mode until the flash memory is
initially programmed. The active background mode can also be used to erase and reprogram the flash
memory after it has been previously programmed.
For additional information about the active background mode, see Chapter 18, “Development Support”.
5.7.4
Wait Mode
Wait mode is entered by executing a WAIT instruction. Upon execution of the WAIT instruction, the CPU
enters a low-power state in which it is not clocked. The 802.15.4 transceiver can be active during this
mode; completing a transmit or receive operation initiated during Run mode.The I bit in CCR is cleared
when the CPU enters the wait mode, enabling interrupts. When an interrupt request occurs, the CPU exits
the wait mode and resumes processing, beginning with the stacking operations leading to the interrupt
service routine.
While the MCU is in wait mode, there are some restrictions on which background debug commands can
be used. Only the BACKGROUND command and memory-access-with-status commands are available
when the MCU is in wait mode. The memory-access-with-status commands do not allow memory access,
but they report an error indicating that the MCU is in either stop or wait mode. The BACKGROUND
command can be used to wake the MCU from wait mode and enter active background mode.
5.7.5
Low Power Wait Mode (LPWait)
Low power wait mode is entered by executing a WAIT instruction while the MCU is in low power run
mode. The 802.15.4 transceiver can be active during this mode; completing a transmit or receive operation
initiated during LPRun mode. In the low power wait mode, the on-chip voltage regulator remains in its
active state as in the low power run mode and the bus clock is 250 kHz. In this state, the power

consumption is reduced to a minimum that still allows most modules to maintain functionality. Power
consumption is reduced the most by disabling the clocks to all unused peripherals by clearing the
corresponding bits in the SCGC register.
The same restrictions from the low power run mode apply to low power wait mode.
5.7.5.1
Interrupts in Low Power Wait Mode
If the LPWUI bit is set, then the voltage regulator will return to full regulation. LPWait mode is exited to
Run mode. The LPR and LPRS bits will be cleared and the MCU will be clock from the XOSC2 oscillator
(32MHz).
If the LPWUI bit is clear an interrupt will return the device to low power run (LPRun) mode.
5.7.5.2
Resets in Low Power Wait Mode
Any reset will exit low power wait mode, clear LPR and LPRS bit, and return the device to normal run
mode.
5.7.6
Stop3 Mode
Stop3 is entered upon execution of a STOP instruction when the STOPE bit in the System Option 1
Register (SOPT1) is set. In Stop3 mode, the CPU and bus clocks are halted. The regulator can be
configured for standby or active mode. The 32 kHz and 32 MHz crystal oscillators can be configured as
active or in standby in Stop3 mode.
If the STOPE bit is not set when the CPU executes a STOP instruction, the MCU will not enter Stop3 mode
and an illegal opcode reset is forced. Stop3 mode is selected by setting the appropriate bits in the
Section 5.8.8, “System Power Management Status & Control 2 (SPMSC2)”.
Table 5-3 shows all of the control bits that affect stop mode selection and the mode selected under various
conditions. The selected mode is entered following the execution of a STOP instruction.

5.7.6.1
Description
Stop3 mode is entered by executing a STOP instruction under the conditions as shown in Table 5-3. The
states of all of the internal registers and logic, RAM contents, and I/O pin states are maintained.
Stop3 can be exited by asserting RESET, or by an interrupt from one of the following sources: the RTC,
LVD, LVW, IRQ, SCI or the KBI.
If Stop3 is exited by means of the RESET pin, then the MCU is reset and operation will resume after taking
the reset vector. Exit by means of one of the internal interrupt sources results in the MCU taking the
appropriate interrupt vector.
The 802.15.4 transceiver will be off in this mode. In Stop3 mode the digital regulator will be in standby
mode.
5.7.6.2
Active BDM Enabled in Stop3 Mode
The advantage of Stop3 mode is the low current consumption of the device. While MC13234/MC13237
is in Stop3 mode, circuit blocks are turned off to reduce consumption. BDM (Background Debug Module)
is also disabled. For debug purpose, BDM can be enabled to let the external BDM module communicate
to MC13234/MC13237. To enable BDM in Stop3 mode, the following bits should be set prior the STOP
command is issued:
SOPT1 bit 1: BKGDPE
SCGC2 bit 6: DBG
5.7.6.3
LVD Enabled in Stop Mode
The LVD system is capable of generating either an interrupt or a reset when the supply voltage drops below
the LVD voltage. If the LVD is enabled in Stop3 mode (LVDE and LVDSE bits in SPMSC1 both set), the
voltage regulator remains active during stop mode.
5.7.6.4
Stop3 Mode in Low Power Run Mode
Stop3 mode can be entered from low power run mode by executing the STOP instruction while in low
power run. Exiting Stop3 with a reset will put the device back into normal run mode. If LPWUI is clear,
interrupts will exit Stop3 mode, return the device to low power run mode, and then service the interrupt.
If LPWUI is set, interrupts will exit Stop3 mode, put the device into normal run mode, clear LPR and LPRS
bits, and then service the interrupt.
5.7.6.5
Wake-up Time from Stop3 Mode
The dominating factor for Stop3 wake-up time is the reference oscillator start-up time. In Stop3 mode, the
reference oscillator can optionally be running. If the reference oscillator is off in Stop3 mode, the startup
time is specified at 800 µs typical. This will determine the wakeup time from Stop3 mode. If the reference
oscillator is running in Stop3 mode, the wake up time will be significantly less.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
5-15
System Management and Control
When the reference oscillator must start, it is specified at 800 s typical startup time and this will
determine the wake-up. It the reference oscillator is already running, the wake-up time will be significantly
less.
5.7.6.6
Stop3 and LPRun Mode Transition
In both MC13234 and MC13237, transition between Stop3 and LPRUN mode needs extra steps when the
LPWUI bit is used. In Run mode, going to LPRun mode (LPR = 1), if LPWUI is set before entering Stop3.
The device will exit Stop3 with full regulation (Run mode) when an interrupt is received. However, it will
not enter LPRun mode even LPR is set. Until the device enters Stop3 mode again. Then it will enter LPRun
again with LPR = 1. The following diagram illustrates this transition.

On-Chip Peripheral Modules in Stop and Low Power Modes
When the MCU enters any stop mode, system clocks to the internal peripheral modules are stopped. Even
in the exception case (ENBDM = 1), where clocks to the background debug logic continue to operate,
clocks to the peripheral systems are halted to reduce power consumption. See Section 5.7.6, “Stop3
Mode”, for specific information on system behavior in Stop3 mode.
When the MCU enters LPWait or LPRun modes, system clocks to the internal peripheral modules continue
based on the settings of the clock gating control registers (SCGC1 and SCGC2).

IRQPDD
Interrupt Request (IRQ) Pull Device Disable— This read/write control bit is used to disable the internal
pullup/pulldown device when the IRQ pin is enabled (IRQPE = 1) allowing for an external device to be used.
0 IRQ pull device enabled if IRQPE = 1.
1 IRQ pull device disabled if IRQPE = 1.
5
IRQEDG
Interrupt Request (IRQ) Edge Select — This read/write control bit is used to select the polarity of edges or
levels on the IRQ pin that cause IRQF to be set. The IRQMOD control bit determines whether the IRQ pin is
sensitive to both edges and levels or only edges. When IRQEDG = 1 and the internal pull device is enabled, the
pullup device is configured as an optional pulldown device.
0 IRQ is falling edge or falling edge/low-level sensitive.
1 IRQ is rising edge or rising edge/high-level sensitive.
4
IRQPE
IRQ Pin Enable — This read/write control bit enables the IRQ pin function. When this bit is set the IRQ pin can
be used as an interrupt request.
0 IRQ pin function is disabled pin PTA3 enable.
1 IRQ pin function is enabled.

IRQMOD
IRQ Flag — This read-only status bit indicates when an interrupt request event has occurred.
0 No IRQ request.

IRQ Acknowledge — This write-only bit is used to acknowledge interrupt request events (write 1 to clear IRQF).
Writing 0 has no meaning or effect. Reads always return 0. If edge-and-level detection is selected (IRQMOD = 1),
IRQF cannot be cleared while the IRQ pin remains at its asserted level.
IRQ Interrupt Enable — This read/write control bit determines whether IRQ events generate an interrupt
request.
0 Interrupt request when IRQF set is disabled (use polling).
1 Interrupt requested whenever IRQF = 1.
IRQ Detection Mode — This read/write control bit selects either edge-only detection or edge-and-level
detection. The IRQEDG control bit determines the polarity of edges and levels that are detected as interrupt
request events. See Section 5.6.2.2, “Edge and Level Sensitivity” for more details.
0 IRQ event on falling edges or rising edges only.
1 IRQ event on falling edges and low levels or on rising edges and high levels.

BDFR
Background Debug Force Reset — A serial background command such as WRITE_BYTE can be used to allow
an external debug host to force a target system reset. Writing 1 to this bit forces an MCU reset. This bit cannot
be written from a user program.To enter user mode, PTD7/BKGD/MS must be high immediately after issuing
WRITE_BYTE command. To enter BDM, PTD7/BKGD/MS must be low immediately after issuing WRITE_BYTE
command.
NOTE
Forcing a system reset using the BDFR results in a reload of the SRS
register. Resetting by this method is directly controlled by the user and does
not result in the set of any bits of the SRS register unless they become
pending on the same cycle.

System Oscillator Management and Control Register 2 (SOMC2)
This register controls the trim capacitance value for the 32 MHz reference oscillator. The primary
capacitive loading for the crystal oscillator is discrete external capacitors and the on board capacitance can
be used to trim the crystal load and thus center the oscillator frequency. There are two capacitor arrays
(course and fine tune) that are controlled by the XTAL1_TRIM field. See Section 3.5.3, “32 MHz Crystal
Trimming”.

IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
6.1
Introduction
The MC13234/MC13237 provides a complete on board system solution for the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard
from the RF Physical Layer requirements through a complete MAC Layer implemented via dedicated
hardware as well as flash-based code. Key characteristics of the MC13234/MC13237 802.15.4
implementation include:
• 2.4 GHz ISM Band operation
• Over-the-air data rate of 250 kbps
• 16 Standard independent channels
• Programmable transmitter output power
• Uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA-CA) protocol
• Provides Energy Detection (ED), Clear Channel Assessment (CCA), and Link Quality Indication
(LQI) through MAC services
• Dedicated hardware to off load 802.15.4 services from CPU
— PHY Layer sequence Manager
— Direct memory access (DMA) hardware to move data between transceiver and RAM
• Hardware acceleration for AES security services of combined counter with CBC-MAC (cipher
block chaining message authentication code)
• Special partial power down “listen” receive mode (PPD_RX) for lower current or to reduce
receiver sensitivity.
The MC13234/MC13237 transceiver implementation consists of the 2.4 GHz radio, modem functions,
sequence manager, and control registers. These elements combined with the flash-resident MAC services
running on the CPU provide the complete 802.15.4 MAC service. In addition, a dedicated timer block is
available to supplement the MCU TPM timer resources.
This chapter first provides an overview and general description for the radio and the modem. Following
the overview, the sequence manager, timer resources, and control functions are described. The descriptions
of control interface registers are then provided.
NOTE
Although this chapter is provided for use of the transceiver and knowledge
of the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard services, the user is directed to Freescale’s
stacks and codebases for complete MAC services.

Transceiver Overview
The MC13234/MC13237 transceiver is capable of complete standalone operation. After it has been
programmed through the transceiver control registers, the sequence manager has the highest level control
to the radio and modem, and the DMA passes packet data to/from the RAM during a transmit or receive
operation. The CPU is released to do other parallel tasks, and this also eliminates any timing dependency
required to move data between the transceiver and memory. Also, the DMA works on a cycle-steal basis
from the CPU bus, and data are transferred on a byte-by-byte, as-required basis.
6.3.1
Transceiver Block Diagram
Figure 6-1 shows a simplified block diagram of the MC13234/MC13237 IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver. As
the diagram shows, the transceiver is loosely divided between the analog (radio) and digital functions.
• The radio contains all the analog circuitry used to transmit and receive an RF signal.

•
— On transmission, the radio is provided the encoded serial data stream from header and symbol
generator blocks (transmit modem function), uses it to phase-shift modulate the carrier signal
from the synthesizer, and then drives the programmable power amplifier (PA)
— On reception, the radio transfers the RF signal through the transmit/receive switch (T/R SW),
amplifies it through the low noise amplifier (LNA), down converts and produces “I” and “Q”
channels through a 2-stage mixer chain, and then samples the resulting I and Q signals through
high-speed analog-to-digital (ADC) converters.
The main VCO and synthesizer block provides the proper RF LO1 frequencies required by the
radio to carry the modulated transmit signal while supporting the receiver's front end and signal
down conversion path.
The “802.15.4 Module” includes all the control/status logic, modem logic, and Event Timer –
Within the digital modem logic, the transmit and receive paths are separate and are controlled by
the control register logic block. Also, with the sequence manager and DMA functions to supervise
the actual radio operation and packet transfers, the transceiver is capable of standalone operation
allowing the CPU to run independent application code.

Direct Memory Access (DMA) Controller
A simple cycle-stealing DMA controller moves packet data between the transceiver and memory during a
transmit or receive operation. This off-loads the data transfer task from the CPU and improves
performance. The DMA operates as follows:
• During a receive operation –
— The DMA receive address pointer is loaded from the RXD_ADR_PNTR[[23:0] field, see
Section 6.13.2, “Receive Data Pointer Registers (RXD_ADR_PNTR0 and
RXD_ADR_PNTR1)”.

IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
•
6.4
— As the data are received, they are directly placed into RAM buffer starting at the pointer
address. The received FCS data is included in the data transferred to the RAM buffer. The
receiver will transfer the data as one byte (octet) at a time (every 32 uS) into RAM. When a
new byte is received the destination address will increment accordingly.
– The first element of the received packet to be placed in the buffer will be the Frame Length
field.
– The last element will the Frame Check Sequence.
– The length field defines the number of bytes in the MPDU. Per definition the MPDU does
not include the length field count itself but includes the Frame Check Sequence (FCS). Thus
the user must allocate a buffer 1 byte larger than the expected MPDU length.
— As the receive buffer is loaded, the byte count is shown in the Receiver Byte Count Register,
see Section 6.13.10, “Receiver Byte Count (RX_BYTE_COUNT)”. The receive byte counter
can be used to generate an interrupt request as the frame is received. When the byte count
matches a preset level or “watermark”, see Section 6.13.9, “Receiver Byte Count Watermark
Threshold (RX_WTR_MARK)”, a status is set and can be enabled to generate the IRQ.
During transmit operations — The transmit packet must have been pre-assembled and available in the memory buffer.
— The data is automatically retrieved from the memory buffer starting from the address specified
by the TXD_ADR_ PNTR[[23:0] field, see Section 6.13.1, “Transmit Data Pointer Registers
(TXD_ADR_PNTR0 and TXD_ADR_PNTR1)”.
— The first byte retrieved is the FLI (see Section 6.4.1, “PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU)”) and
the DMA controller uses this value to determine how many bytes to fetch for the complete
packet
— The memory buffer does not include the two FCS (see Section 6.4.1, “PHY Protocol Data Unit
(PPDU)”) bytes, as these are calculated by the hardware generator and appended to the payload
data sourced from memory.
IEEE 802.15.4 Standard PHY Packet and Frame Structures
A basic knowledge of the PHY packet and frame structure is important to best understand basic operation
of the transceiver and sequence manager.
The MC13234/MC13237 transceiver supports the IEEE 802.15.4 2450 MHz Physical Layer (PHY)
specification. This standard uses serial 250 kbps offset quadrature phase-shift keying (O-QPSK) data in
5.0 MHz channels and full spread-spectrum encode and decode. It operates on one of 16 selectable
channels in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The data are transmitted least significant symbol first within a byte
(octet), and least significant byte first within a data field.
NOTE
The following descriptions only provide an overview of the IEEE 802.15.4
PHY protocol data unit and frame structures. For more information see the
IEEE 802.15.4 Standard, “Part 15.4: Wireless Medium Access Control

PHY Protocol Data Unit (PPDU)
The basic unit of the PHY transmission is the PHY protocol data unit (PPDU), see Figure 6-2. Each PPDU
consists of three basic components:
• A synchronization header (SHR), which allows a receiving device to synchronize and lock onto the
bit stream. The SHR is composed of — Preamble – is a minimum of 4 bytes in length and allows the receiver to synchronize to the
incoming packet
— Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) – is a 1-byte field with a unique bit pattern that indicates start of
packet data
• A PHY header (PHR), which contains frame length information; it is a 1-byte field composed of — 7-bit Frame Length Field (FLI) – specifies total number of following bytes of the payload data
(127 bytes maximum)
— 1-bit Reserved Field
• PHY Payload – is a variable length field which carries the MAC sublayer frame. Designated as the
PHY Service Data Unit (PSDU) — Maximum length is127 bytes
— Last two bytes are always Frame Check Sequence (FCS) data
— Total length (FLI) is actual payload data plus FCS data
Figure 6-2 shows two views of the packet / PPDU structure. The first view reflects the PPDU field
definitions, and the second view is a simplified view emphasizing field byte lengths.

MAC Frame Structures
Understanding the MAC frame structures is useful to understanding operation of the Sequence Manager.
In the MAC frame structure, The MAC Protocol Data Unit (MPDU) which originates from the MAC
sublayer and makes up the PSDU of the PPDU is the MAC sublayer frame. Maximum length is 127 bytes.
The MPDU can consist of three fields • MAC header (MHR) – is always present and can contain
— MAC Frame Control field – 2 bytes in length and contains information defining the frame type,
addressing fields, and other control flags. Required field.
— Sequence Number field – 1 byte in length and specifies the sequence identifier for the frame
(either a beacon sequence number (BSN) or a data sequence number (DSN). Optional field as
required by frame type.
— Addressing Fields – Destination PAN Identifier (0/2 bytes), Destination Address (0/2/8 bytes),
Source Address (0/2/8). Use as required by frame type.
— Auxiliary Security Header – (0/5/6/10/14 bytes). Optional field as required by security use.
• Mac Payload – Variable length. Specific information to the frame. Optional field as required by
frame type.
• MAC footer (MFR) – Frame check sequence (FCS) field (2 bytes). Required field.

• The MFR – contains a 16-bit frame check sequence (FCS).
MAC Command
Frame
The MAC Command Frame originates within the MAC sublayer and is used for handling all MAC peer
entity control transfers. The frame contains:
• The MHR – contains the MAC Frame Control field, data sequence number (DSN), addressing fields,
and optionally the auxiliary security header.
• The MAC payload – MAC command payload.
• The MFR – contains a 16-bit frame check sequence (FCS).
6.5
Basic PHY Operations
Using a simplistic approach, all 802.15.4 PHY transactions are built around three basic 802.15.4 PHY
operations:
• Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) / Energy Detect (ED) – testing for energy on the selected
channel:
— CCA cycle – Looking for an idle channel condition as part of the collision avoidance protocol,
before executing a transmission.
– For a CCA Mode 1 operation – the channel energy is compared to a preset threshold
– For a CCA Mode 2 operation – if a 802.15.4 modulated signal is found, the channel is
considered busy
— Observing individual channel energy (ED) as part of a channel scan for the MAC services
— Measuring energy of a received packet to report LQI
• Packet transmission (TX) – transmitting or sending a PHY protocol data unit using one of the frame
structures previously defined
• Packet reception (RX) – receiving a PHY protocol data unit.

6.5.1
Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) Operation (including ED and Link
Quality Indication)
A CCA operation is a broad designation for any form of measuring channel energy. The measurement is
done using the receiver and uses different algorithms or modes.
6.5.1.1
CCA Modes, Energy Detect, and Link Quality Detect Algorithms
The Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) mode and energy detect algorithms described here are consistent
with the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard definitions.
6.5.1.1.1
CCA Mode 1 Algorithm
The CCA Mode 1 algorithm measures an average energy in any received baseband signal (on the programmed channel). For a Mode 1 operation, the receiver moves from an IDLE condition to a RECEIVE
condition (designated as a 144 µs RX Warm-up) and then does an RSSI measurement for 128 µs (as
defined by the 802.15.4 standard and equals 8 symbol times). Figure 6-3 shows the operation timing.

(Averaging)
Time
Figure 6-3. CCA Sequence Timing
For CCA Mode 1, the RSSI measurement is done by calculating a 128µs (8 symbol) average of:
I 2  Q2
CCA Mode 1 is used to report an “energy above threshold” status for a CCA cycle. The threshold level is
provided by the CCA_THRESHOLD Register, and if the detected energy is above the threshold the CCA
status is set to “Busy”
6.5.1.1.2
CCA Mode 2 Algorithm
The CCA Mode 2 algorithm looks for the presence of an 802.15.4 compliant received signal (on the programmed channel) and signal strength is unimportant. For a Mode 2 operation, the receiver first executes
a 144 µs RX Warm-up, similar to Mode 1. However, Mode 2 differs in that the preamble detect function
is activated for the 128 µs, 8 symbol time period, and looks for correlation of an 802.15.4 signal.
CCA Mode 2 can be used to report a “carrier sense” status for a CCA cycle. The CCA status will be set to
“Busy” is a carrier is detected.

6.5.1.1.3
Energy Detect (ED) Algorithm
The energy detect algorithm also measures an average energy in any received baseband signal (on the
programmed channel). The difference from the Mode 1 algorithm is that a 64 µs AGC settling time is
inserted between the RX Warm-up cycle and the 128 µs signal strength measurement. Figure 6-4 shows
the operation timing.

LQI is a measurement of average energy of the received baseband signal during a packet reception. The
energy measurement is similar to the ED measurement except that the sample time is delayed until the
packet preamble detect. Figure 6-5 shows the operation timing.

use and status related to a given sequence is associated with the following registers and register fields:
•
•

— CCAMSK : this enables/disables an interrupt request due to a “CCAIRQ” status
STATUS1 Register – see Section 6.13.11, “Status Register 1 (STATUS1)”
— CCA : this bit reports the result of a CCA/ED operation
STATUS2 Register – see Section 6.13.12, “Status Register 2 (STATUS2)”
— CCAIRQ : this bit reports completion of an CCA/ED operation
CCAFNL Register – see Section 6.13.3, “Transceiver Control Register 1 (CNTRL1)”
— CCAFNL[7:0] : this 7-bit field is the reported value of the energy measurement from a CCA,
ED, or LQI operation
CCA_THRESHOLD Register – see Section 6.13.30, “CCA Energy Threshold
(CCA_THRESHOLD)”
— CCA_THRESHOLD[7:0] : this 7-bit field is the energy threshold value used during a CCA
cycle to compare for a clear channel
CCA_OFFSET_CMP Register – see Section 6.13.31, “CCA Power Compensation
(CCA_OFFSET_CMP)”
— CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0] : this 7-bit field is an offset correction value that is added to trim the
measured energy level
6.5.1.3
Reported Energy Values
The average value of the signal power is calculated and stored in field CCA_FINAL[7:0] for a CCA, ED,
or LQI indication. The reported 8-bit binary value is an indication of the signal strength in dBm. However,
to determine the decimal equivalent of the value stored in CCA_FINAL[7:0], one must convert the hex
value to its decimal value, divide by two, and change the sign; where this calculated value is equivalent to
the received signal strength in dBm:
Signal strength in dBm = – (dec (CCA_FINAL[7:0] / 2))
The value stored in CCA_FINAL[7:0] is also affected by an offset stored in field
CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0]. The default value of CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0] = 0x8D and is added to the
measured value during the CCA/ED/LQI function to give the stored value in CCA_FINAL[7:0].
The compensation number added to the internal measured value is CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0] / 2 and the
resulting addition is shown in Figure 6-6.

IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
The resulting formula for dBm means that the CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0] value must increment or
decrement by 4 to cause a 1 dBm change, which equates to a 1/4 dBm resolution for the
CCA_OFFSET_CMP correction.
The CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0] default value is 0x8D and the value must increment to set a lower final
CCA value. As an example, if one were putting in a -30 dBm signal and the CCA_FINAL[7:0] was
reporting -26 dBm, then the correction value in power_comp[7:0] should be increased by (4 * delta) or (4
* 4) in this case. The new compensated value of power_comp[7:0] = 0x8D + 0x10 = 0x9D.
NOTE
As previously stated, the default value for power_comp[7:0] = 0x8D. For
the MC13234/MC13237 device, an offset of 3.5 dBm is needed to center the
reported CCA/LQI value over temperature. As a result, it is suggested that
a value of 0x9B be programmed into CCA_OFFSET_CMP[7:0] for best
accuracy.
Because the AGC is set to a fixed gain during the CCA procedure, input signals above -65 dBm will not
be reflected correctly due to saturation. This is not a problem because the purpose of this measurement is
to detect a signal above a threshold that is not to exceed -75 dBm. See the 802.15.4 Standard for details.

CCA Result
For a CCA operation, the value contained in CCA_FINAL[7:0] is compared to the preset threshold of field
CCA_THRESHOLD[7:0]. If CCA_FINAL[7:0] is equal to or less than the threshold, then status CCA is
set to 1, indicating a busy channel. If CCA_FINAL[7:0] is greater than the threshold, CCA remains at 0.
After the CCA operation is complete, CCAIRQ is asserted.
The value of CCA_THRESHOLD[7:0] is calculated:
Threshold value = hex (| (Threshold Power in dBm) * 2 |)
A suggested threshold is -82 dBm or 0xA4 = CCA_THRESHOLD[7:0].

Link Quality Indication
Link Quality Indication is a measure of the signal quality during an actual receive operation. Its value is
also stored in field CCA_FINAL[7:0].
NOTE
In Figure 6-8, the required 802.15.4 Standard accuracy and range limits are
shown. A 3.5 dBm offset has been programmed into the LQI reporting level
to center the level over temperature. Typical values of LQI returned from an
RX operation are from about -95 dBm to about -18 dBm giving a
CCA_FINAL[7:0] range of decimal values 190 (0xBE) to 36 (0x24). When
used in an 802.15.4 application, the LQI must be scaled and limited to have
a range of decimal 0 to 255. Values of LQI above approximately -30 to -25
dBm can be non-linear and should not be used as an indication of absolute
received power.

6.5.2
Packet Transmission (TX)
A packet transmission sends a PHY packet as shown in Figure 6-2. The packet consists of (in order) the
preamble, SFD, FLI, payload data, and last, the FCS. In the transceiver, the transmit operation is automated
through use of the DMA and the Sequence Manager:
• The DMA pointer must be preloaded
• The data buffer must be preloaded in RAM (includes the FLI and payload data, not including FCS)
• The Sequence Manager options/controls must be initiated.
• The transmit may or may not be preceded by a CCA operation
• Transmit results as the execution of a Sequence T or Sequence T/R operation
For either transmit sequence, a very simple overview consists of (for more detail, see Section 6.9.5, “Basic
Transmit Sequence – Sequence T (Transmit)”):
1. Transmitter warm-up
2. Preamble transmitted (4 octets from hardware)
3. SFD transmitted (octet from hardware)
4. FrameLength octet transmitted -fetched from from RAM
5. Payload data transmitted – fetched from RAM on byte-by-byte basis as determined by FLI
6. FCS transmitted (2 octets generated in hardware)
7. Transmitter warm-down
6.5.3
Packet Reception (RX)
Packet reception is more complex and includes hardware filtering for accepting/rejecting packets.
6.5.3.1
Basic RX Operation
Packet reception is enabled either as a simple receive sequence or as part of a longer sequence.
• The receive DMA pointer must be preloaded
• The data buffer area in RAM should be reserved.
• The filtering options must be preset
• The Sequence Manager options/controls must be initiated.
For a simple receive sequence, an overview for a successful receive consists of :
1. Receiver warm-up
2. Receiver enters receive mode and waits for signal
3. Preamble detected
4. SFD detected
5. FrameLength octet received – saved to check byte count as well as saved to RAM
6. Payload data received and transferred to RAM on byte-by-byte basis as determined by FLI
(includes received CRC bytes)
7. Frame filtering checked as received and CRC checked

6.5.3.2
Receive Operating Modes
The MC13234/MC13237 is unique in that it supports two operational receive modes:
• Standard receive (RX) mode – the default receive mode sets the receiver to maximum sensitivity
and operates in a “normal” mode. The receiver is fully on and stays active until a frame is received
or a time-out occurs (if enabled).
• Partial Power Down receive (PPD_RX) – this mode can be enabled as an option.
— Whenever a receive cycle is initiated, the receiver is not fully on to save current until energy of
a preset level is detected.
— The receiver turns on fully upon being triggered by energy at the preset level, and then receives
the expected frame. The full-on state is the same as the standard receive state.
Use of the PPD_RX mode can provide two distinct advantages:
1. Reduced “listen” mode current – the receive current is significantly reduced while waiting for a
frame. If a node is a coordinator, router, or gateway and it spends a significant percentage of its
RF-active time waiting for incoming frames from clients or other devices, the net power savings
can be significant. There is a cost of reduced sensitivity.
2. Reduced sensitivity as a desired effect – the PPD_RX mode can provide different levels of reduced
sensitivity. If a node operates in a densely populated area, it may be desirable to de-sensitize the
receiver such that the device does not respond to incoming frames with an energy level below the
desired threshold. This could be useful for security, net efficiency, reduced noise triggering, as well
as other purposes.
NOTE
Freescale Codebases provide function calls for enabling, disabling and
configuring the PPD_RX mode.
6.5.3.3
Receive Packet Filtering and Responses
The MC13234/MC13237 transceiver hardware has the ability to accept/reject a received frame and enable
“auto” sequence features based on the frame attributes.
As briefly described in Section 6.4.2, “MAC Frame Structures”, each data packet contains a MAC header
that can contain a MAC Frame Control Field (2 bytes), Sequence Number Field (1 byte), Address Fields
(variable length), and an auxiliary security header (variable). Table 6-1 shows this structure. To further
describe the filtering features, the Frame Control Field (FCF) format is shown in Table 6-3. The
transceiver filtering and response mechanisms are gated by these FCF sub-fields and the Addressing
Fields.

When receiving a packet, the following capabilities are possible:
1. Promiscuous Mode – this mode will receive ALL frames with no filtering except for Frame Length
checking and optional CRC checking.
— Mode is enabled by PROMISCUOUS bit, CNTRL2 Register – see Section 6.13.4,
“Transceiver Control Register 2 (CNTRL2)”
— CRC is disabled by CRC_MSK bit, CNTRL3 Register – see Section 6.13.5, “Transceiver
Control Register 3 (CNTRL3)”
2. Hardware generated Ack response – for the Receive and Transmit/Receive sequences, this feature
will follow a received frame that passes required filtering and that requests an Ack (FCF “Ack
Request” sub-field = 1) with a transmitted Ack frame. The Ack frame uses the Sequence Number
from the received frame. Promiscuous mode disables this feature.
3. Programmable frame filtering – based on FCF sub-fields, Sequence Number field, and Addressing
Fields.
— Pan Coordinator enable – the PANCORDNTR bit of CNTRL2 enables the device as Pan
Coordinator. This enables reception of MAC command or data frames with no destination
address
— Frame Type FCF sub-field – as defined in Table 6-4, the frame type is used to help determine
the filter characteristics. See paragraphs below.
— RX_FRAME_FILTER Register control bits (see Section 6.13.28, “Receive Frame Filter
(RX_FRAME_FILTER)”- as summarized in Table 6-5 set the accept/reject criteria, See
paragraphs below.

If a frame is rejected, the transceiver will stay enabled as a receiver, and start searching for a new frame
after the rejected frame has been received.

VCO Frequency Synthesizer (Channel Frequency)
The VCO frequency synthesizer uses a Fractional-N (Frac-N) PLL divider chain. The MC13237 operates
in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, covering 16 channels and uses 5 MHz of spacing between each channel. The
synthesizer VCO output frequency is referenced as LO1 and must be programmed to the channel
frequency. The Frac-N has fractional and integer components that must be programmed properly to
perform a transceiver operation on a particular channel.
• The integer setting is LO1_INT[7:0], Register LO1_INT
• The fractional setting is LO1_FRAC[15:0] Registers LO1_FRAC0 – LO1_FRAC1

IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
(EVENT_TMR[23:0]) matches several timer comparator registers. The current time (counter value) is
accessible at any time and can also be over-programmed.
The Event Timer provides the following functions:
• Timer to generate current system time
• Interrupt generation at pre-determined system times or delays
• Latches “timestamp” value during packet reception
• Initiates timer-triggered sequences
6.7.1
Event Timer Time Base
The Event Timer’s base clock is derived from a programmable prescaler which is clocked at 16 MHz
derived from the 32 MHz reference source. The prescaler provides different counter input frequencies
from 500 kHz down to 15.625 kHz. The prescaler and the Event Timer only increment when the reference
oscillator is active. The field TMR_PRESCALE[2:0] in the MACFRAMEVER Register 9
(Section 6.13.29, “MAC Frame Version Compatibility and Timer Prescale Register (FMR_REV_TMR)”)
establishes the base clock frequency as shown in Table 6-7.

The 24-bit counter automatically rolls over upon reaching its maximum value, and the corresponding
maximum possible Event Timer durations are also provided in Table 6-7.
6.7.2
Setting Current Time
“Current Time” is defined as the value of the Event Timer internal counter. The current time is
programmable, and is set to zero by a reset condition. Current time advances from zero at the selected
prescale clock rate and the counter rolls over to zero after reaching its maximum value.
To set current time, the T1CMP[23:0] Registers are used (see Section 6.13.20, “Event Timer Comparator
1 Registers (T1CMP0, T1CMP1, and T1CMP2)”. Programming “current time” is accomplished by:
1. Programming the desired 24-bit value value into the T1CMP[23:0] field
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
6-19
IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
2. Writing a one to the TMRLOAD bit of the CNTRL1 Register (see Section 6.13.3, “Transceiver
Control Register 1 (CNTRL1)”. The TMRLOAD bit is self-clearing and always reads as zero.
6.7.3
Reading Current Time
The current value of the Event Timer can be read from the Event Timer [23:0] Registers (see
Section 6.13.14, “Event Timer Registers (EVENT_TMR0, EVENT_TMR1, and EVENT_TMR2)”.
Reading the EVENT_TMR2 Register (least significant byte) latches the “current time” in the 24-bit field.
This register should be read first, followed by reads of EVENT_TMR1 Register (next most significant),
and EVENT_TMR0 Register (most significant), in that order. The read of EVENT_TMR0 releases the
latched value.
6.7.4
Receive Packet Timestamp
The MC13234/MC13237 latches a “Timestamp” of current time whenever a packet is received and the
value is stored in the TIMESTAMP [23:0] Registers (see Section 6.13.15, “Time Stamp Registers
(TIMESTAMP0, TIMESTAMP1, and TIMESTAMP2)”. This timestamp value is latched at the beginning
of a receive packet after detect of the SFD. The timestamp remains latched until another packet is received,
at which point value is updated and re-latched.
6.7.5
Event Timer Comparators
The MC13237 incorporates four 24-bit programmable fields that compare to the Event Timer’s “current
time”. The intent of these compares is to enable the host to schedule events relative to the “current time”.
When a match between the “current time” and any one of the four timer compare values occurs (when
enabled), a corresponding status flag is set. An interrupt request can be generated from the valid status.
Table 6-8 lists the applicable registers and control bits for the comparators. A typical procedure for
programming a compare operation includes:
1. Disable comparator (TMRxCMP_EN = 0) if required – this is the default condition.
2. Read current time from Registers EVENT_TIMER0 – EVENT_TIMER2.
3. Add desired offset to current time to get “compare time”- the offset value will be determined by
the prescale rate and the desired time delay.
4. Load TxCMP0 – TxCMP2 registers with “compare time”
5. Enable interrupt request if required (TMRxIRQ = 0) – disabled is the default condition
6. Enable comparator and interrupt; set TMRxCMP_EN = 1.
7. Count reaches TxCMP value – status becomes valid and interrupt request asserted.
8. Comparator should be disabled as part of interrupt service routine.

There are additional special features for the comparators:
1. Timer Comparator 1 (T1CMP[23:0]) is also used to set the current time counter – the comparator
function should be disabled. After T1CMP[23:0] is written for the desired current time, writing a
one to the TMRLOAD bit of the CNTRL1 Register loads the counter with the new time.
2. Timer Comparator 2 / TC2_PRIME[15:0] Registers – the two TC2_PRIME registers hold a 16-bit
compare value used by Event Timer Comparator 2 for a special sequences. The TC2’EN control
bit in register CNTRL2 enables or disables the 16-bit versus the 24-bit mode for Comparator 2; this
bit must be a “1” to enable TC2_PRIME.
3. Timer Comparator 3 – T3CMP can be used as a “bracketing” timer, i.e., to abort certain sequences
after a software-determined time-out period. See Section 6.7.5.1, “Timer-Triggered Transceiver
Sequence Events”.
6.7.5.1
Timer-Triggered Transceiver Sequence Events
The event timer comparators T2CMP and T3CMP can optionally be used with the Sequence Manager:
1. TC2CMP can be used to initiate a sequence at a precise time – This operation is controlled by the
TMRTRIGEN control bit, see Section 6.9, “Supported Sequences”.
2. T3CMP can be used to abort transceiver sequences – This time-out mechanism is enabled by
setting the TC3TMOUT control bit in CNTRL2 register to 1. If TC3TMOUT = 0, then the abort
mechanism is disabled, and timer TC3 functions merely as a software timer. The T3CMP
hardware-abort functions are summarized in the Table 6-9.

Sequence Manager
The Sequence Manager is a hardware state machine which controls the transceiver timing and
management for all transmit, receive, and CCA operations which minimizes the application memory
footprint, off loads the CPU, and allows operations not otherwise possible.
Sequences can be initiated by software directly, or can be initiated via a hardware timer. The sequence
parameters are programmed prior to initiating the sequences and include:
• Whether CCA is required ahead of a transmit sequence
• Whether an automatic Ack frame should be transmitted after a receive sequence
• Slotted vs. unslotted mode
• Type of CCA (e.g., Energy Detect, CCA Mode 1, or CCA Mode 2)
• Whether the device is a PAN Coordinator or not
NOTE
The sequence manager supports some of the more complex features of the
IEEE 802.15.4 Standard including beacon-enabled communication and
guaranteed time slots. It is important that the user be familiar with these
concepts:

Functional Overview
The Sequence Manager controls and automates all transceiver sequences.
• Software selects the desired sequence, sets the general parameters, and optionally configures a
hardware timer to trigger the sequence at a precise time in the future.
• Subsequently, the MCU can enter a low-power state, or tend to other activities, while the sequence
manager state machine conducts the programmed transceiver operations.
• When the sequence completes and a status is set, an interrupt request can alert the MCU. At this
point the MCU can check the completion status of the sequence, fetch received data from RAM (if
any), and then prepare the next sequence.
Sequences can be simple transceiver operations. For example, transmit one frame or perform a CCA
operation on a channel. Alternatively, the sequence manager supports complex sequences, which use
simple operations as building blocks, strung together in a back-to-back fashion, with precise timing
intervals between operations. For example, a “TR” sequence calls for a transmit frame followed by a
receive frame. For complex sequences, interrupts can optionally be generated at the completion of each
stage of the sequence, providing greater visibility for the MCU into the time line of the sequence. Software
can opt to abort a sequence at any time; when this happens, the sequence manager will return to its IDLE
state in an orderly fashion.
The sequence manager is responsible for the implementation of the Wireless Physical Layer (PHY)
specifications described in the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard. The timing of the basic operations is hard wired
and fixed. The higher-level timing parameters, such as the interval between operations in a complex
sequence, are largely programmable, except for those defined as constants in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.
NOTE
Implementation of the full IEEE 802.15.4 Standard MAC sublayer services
requires software applications code that interfaces to and builds upon the
embedded hardware services. Freescale provides the complete MAC
solution as part of its BeeKit codebases. As a result, the descriptions for the
control and use of the sequence manager are presented primarily for
understanding as opposed to an in-depth applications guide. The user is
directed to use the supplied codebase(s).

6.9.1
Initiating a Sequence
A sequence can be initiated directly (non-timer mode) or using a timer-triggered mode:
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
6-25
IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
•
•
For non-timer mode (TMRTRIGEN bit must be 0) – All sequences can be initiated immediately by
writing the desired sequence command to XCVSEQ (CNTRL1) during IDLE state to activate each
new sequence. Hardware detects the write to this register during IDLE, and initiates the sequence.
The XCVSEQ bits of CNTRL1 always read back what was previously written, they do not
necessarily reflect the state of the Sequence Manager. Because hardware detects the write to the
XCVSEQ register during IDLE, the XCVSEQ field must be set to IDLE after the sequence
completes (SEQIRQ interrupt), before initiating a new sequence.
For timer-trigger mode, the initiation of a sequence at a precise time in the future can be
programmed via Timer Comparator 2 (TMRTRIGEN bit must be 1) — The desired start time is determined by the Timer Comparator 2 and enabled by setting the
TMRTRIGEN bit.
— Either the 24-bit T2CMP register or the 16-bit TC2PRIME register can be used for the compare
value (this is determined by the TC2’EN bit of the CNTRL2 register, see Section 6.13.4,
“Transceiver Control Register 2 (CNTRL2)”). The desired start time is written to the selected
register.
— The desired sequence command is written to the XCVSEQ field and the sequence will
commence when the timer compare is valid.
— After the sequence completes (SEQIRQ interrupt), the XCVSEQ field must be set to IDLE
(0x0), before initiating a new sequence and the Timer Comparator 2 register must be re-written
to arm a new sequence. To be specific, at least the LS byte of either T2CMP or TC2PRIME
must be written to re-arm the sequence manager for a new sequence. The order of writing the
command to CNTRL1 or the timer register is not important, as long as a timer-match does not
occur prior to the completion of this programming.
6.9.2
Aborting a Sequence
Several means can abort a sequence.
6.9.2.1
Writing an IDLE Command to XCVSEQ
While a sequence is ongoing, software can abort the sequence at any time by writing IDLE (0x0) to
XCVSEQ, and the sequence manager state machine will respond with an orderly return to the SEQ_IDLE
state, and a SEQIRQ status will be generated.
While a sequence is underway, software should not attempt to change XCVSEQ (other than aborting the
sequence as previously described); the sequence manager will ignore all mid-sequence attempts to change
XCVSEQ.
NOTE
The sequence manager control logic is designed such that the command
field XCVSEQ must always be written to IDLE between sequences. This is
true for both successful completion of a sequence and an aborted sequence.
Upon end of the sequence, the XCVSEQ must be written to IDLE before
writing the next desired sequence.

6-26
Freescale Semiconductor
IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
6.9.2.2
Timer Comparator 3 Time-out
Timer Comparator 3 can be used as a “bracketing” timer, i.e., to abort certain sequences after a
software-determined time-out period. This time-out mechanism is enabled by setting the TC3TMOUT
control bit in CNTRL2 Register to 1, and the comparator must be enabled by the TMR3CMP_EN control
bit in CNTRL4 Register.
6.9.2.3
RF PLL Unlock Condition (LO1 Unlock)
All sequences can be aborted by an RF PLL unlock detection; referred as LO1 unlock. After the operation
warm-up time, an unlock detection aborts the sequence at that point and an unlock status is set.
6.9.3
Sequence I (IDLE)
When the IDLE command is written to XCVSEQ, the sequence manager goes to its IDLE state. If not
already in idle, the sequence manager executes an orderly return to IDLE state. A SEQIRQ status is then
issued.
• Writing IDLE value to XCVSEQ is the proper way to abort a sequence.
• A write of IDLE to XCVSEQ should always be issued between two consecutive sequences
including the back-to-back execution of the same sequence.
6.9.4
Basic Receive Sequence – Sequence R (Receive)
Sequence R is the basic receive sequence and can be used to receive all types of 802.15.4 PHY- and
MAC-compliant frames, including reserved frame types. Using Sequence R, all receive frames which pass
frame-filtering rules and CRC check, are transferred to RAM.
6.9.4.1
Sequence R Basic Execution
The basic execution of a successful Sequence R is as follows:
1. Optional timer initiated — MCU writes T2CMP compare value to the desired initiation time
— Sets TMRTRIGEN
2. MCU initializes RXD_ADR_PNTR to desired start of RX buffer
3. MCU writes XCVSEQ = R
4. Optional timer initiated – Wait for T2CMP match (if TMRTRIGEN=1)
5. SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmup and enters receive mode.
6. Preamble Detected
7. SFD Detected
8. DMA RX Address Pointer initialized to RXD_ADR_PNTR
9. FrameLength (FLI) octet received and transferred to RAM
10. N additional octets received (N = FrameLength) and transferred to RAM.

Freescale Semiconductor
6-27
IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
NOTE
If FrameLength > MAXFRAMELENGTH (127), then N =
MAXFRAMELENGTH.
11. If frame-filtering rules and CRC check pass:
— RXIRQ status issued
— SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmdown
— If received Frame Control Field indicates AckRequest = 1
– SEQ_MGR executes TxWarmup
– an Ack frame is transmitted using the received Sequence Number
– SEQ_MGR executes TxWarmdown
12. If frame-filtering rules or CRC check fail:
13. SEQIRQ status issued
NOTE
Reception of Acknowledge frames is not recommended using Sequence R.
This is because reception of an Acknowledge frame, usually follows a
transmitted frame, with a designated Sequence Number, so that the received
Acknowledge frame can be verified for the matching Sequence Number. In
a standalone Sequence R, there is no Sequence Number to verify against, so
any Acknowledge frame is merely transferred (DMAed) to RAM. The
appropriate way to receive Acknowledge frames is with Sequence TR with
the RXACKRQD bit asserted.
6.9.4.2
Sequence R T3CMP Time-out
After the Sequence R receiver warm-up, timer T3CMP can be enabled as a “bracketing” timer. If enabled
and a T3CMP timer match occurs (no incoming frame is detected), the sequence manager will warm down
the receiver and return to SEQ_IDLE state.
6.9.4.3
Sequence R Exceptions
Programmed options and incoming RX frame parameters affect Sequence R execution. Programmed
options that impact Sequence R include:
1. AUTOACK – when enabled, Sequence R transmits a hardware generated TX Ack frame after the
received frame if all necessary conditions are met.
2. PROMISCUOUS – when enabled, all filtering is disabled except for frame length check, and CRC
check is conditional on the CRCMSK. This mode also disables TxACK if enabled.
Frame filtering is programmable and the RX frame will normally be accepted or rejected on the basis of
the filter options. The above options provide exceptions and additions to the normal flow as shown in
Table 6-12.

Basic Transmit Sequence – Sequence T (Transmit)
Sequence T is the basic, standalone transmit sequence and can be used to transmit all types of 802.15.4
PHY- and MAC-compliant frames. However, it is not recommended for transmitting an Ack frame nor for
transmitting frames that expect a return Ack, see NOTE.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
6-29
IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
NOTE
Sequence T is not recommended for transmission of Acknowledge frames.
This is because transmission of an Ack frame usually follows a received
frame with a designated Sequence Number. The recommended method is
use of Sequence R with the AUTOACK bit asserted where the sequence
manager automates the transmission of an Ack frame generated by
hardware following a received frame. However, the sequence manager
hardware does not prohibit generation of Ack frames using Sequence T.
Sequence T is not recommended for transmitting frames that expect a return
Acknowledge frame. Use a T/R sequence instead.
Sequence T allows for the insertion of 1 or 2 CCA (clear channel assessment) measurements prior to
transmission, to ensure that the selected channel is idle. The CCA-before-TX feature is governed by two
register bits, CCABFRTX and SLOTTED. All CCA measurements must indicate channel-idle, in order for
the sequence manager to initiate the transmission; if the channel is determined by CCA to be busy, the
sequence manager will terminate the sequence without a transmission. The number of CCA measurements
attempted by the sequence manager, and the timing of the measurements, is shown in Table 6-14.

6.9.5.1
Sequence T Basic Execution
The basic execution of a successful Sequence T is as follows:
1. Optional timer initiated — MCU writes T2CMP compare value to the desired initiation time
— Sets TMRTRIGEN
2. Optional use of CCA cycle(s):
— MCU sets CCABFRTX if one or more CCA’s are required prior to transmit
— MCU sets SLOTTED if in slotted mode (2 CCA’s will be attempted)
3. MCU initializes TXD_ADR_PNTR to start of stored TX buffer
4. MCU writes XCVSEQ = T
5. Optional timer initiated – Wait for T2CMP match (if TMRTRIGEN=1)

6. If CCABFRTX=1:
— SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmup
— SEQ_MGR initiates CCA measurement (takes 128us)
— if CCA indicates channel busy: sequence terminates and CCAIRQ & SEQIRQ status issued
— otherwise, if CCA indicates channel idle:
a) if SLOTTED=0, SEQ_MGR issues a CCAIRQ status and executes a RxPartialWarmdown
b) if SLOTTED=1, SEQ_MGR initiates a 2nd CCA, 320us after initiating 1st CCA.
– if SLOTTED=1, and channel busy, sequence terminates, CCAIRQ status & SEQIRQ status
issued
– if SLOTTED=1, and channel idle, SEQ_MGR issues a CCAIRQ status and executes a
RxPartialWarmdown
7. If SLOTTED=1, SEQ_MGR waits until 320us elapses after 2nd CCA initiation
8. SEQ_MGR executes TxPartialWarmup.

6.9.5.2
Sequence T Exceptions
The programmed CCA and slotted options affect Sequence T execution.
• The use of one or two CCA cycles is determined by the options
• The timing of the CCA cycles is impacted by the slotted option
• The slotted option is used in beacon-enabled networks
• The CCAIRQ status is always issued at completion of the CCA cycle(s)
• A “busy” result for a CCA cycle terminates the sequence; any retries are controlled via software.

• Any of the CCA algorithms can be selected
• A CCA status is not reported for an ED CCA cycle, it has no meaning as an ED cycle is meant as
a channel scan function
• This sequence does not support slotted CCA timing for beacon-enabled mode
The result of the CCA measurement is reported back to software in the CCA bit. The CCA bit indicates
either a busy channel (1), or an idle channel (0).
6.9.6.1
Sequence C Basic Execution
The basic execution of a successful Sequence C is as follows:
1. Optional timer initiated — MCU writes T2CMP compare value to the desired initiation time
— Sets TMRTRIGEN
2. MCU initializes CCATYPE
3. MCU writes XCVSEQ = C
4. Optional timer initiated – Wait for T2CMP match (if TMRTRIGEN=1)
5. SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmup
6. SEQ_MGR initiates CCA (using selected CCATYPE) by signalling the receiver
7. SEQ_MGR waits for CCA to complete
8. CCA bit is set to the CCA status (1 = Busy, 0 = Idle) except for CCATYPE = ED
9. CCAIRQ status issued
10. SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmdown
11. SEQIRQ status issued

NOTE
Timer T3CMP is not used with Sequence C.
The CCA cycle timing is consistent with Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-4.
Sequence T/R (Transmit/Receive)
Sequence TR is a very useful combination Transmit/Receive sequence. The sequence is executed as a
concatenation of a transmit operation followed by a receive operation, with a minimum TX-to-RX
turnaround time in between.
6.9.7.1
Sequence T/R Execution
There are 2 permutations of Sequence TR, depending on the RXACKRQD bit. For both permutations, the
Sequence T which constitutes the first half of a Sequence TR, is identical to the standalone Sequence T
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
6-32
Freescale Semiconductor
IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
(XCVSEQ=2). This means that the transmit operation can be slotted or unslotted, and can be preceded by
1 or 2 CCA measurements, depending on the state of the CCABFRTX and SLOTTED bits.
The permutations are differences in the R sequence as determined by RXACKRQD control bit:
• RXACKRQD = 0 – then Sequence TR is executed as a Sequence T followed by a Sequence R, with
a minimum TX-to-RX turnaround time in between. The Sequence R is identical to the standalone
Sequence R (XCVSEQ = 1). This means that the receive operation can be followed by an
automatic, hardware-generated transmit Acknowledge frame, if all the necessary conditions are
met.
• RXACKRQD = 1 – then Sequence TR is executed as a Sequence T followed by a
Receive-Acknowledge-Only frame. This type of receive operation is special, and not the same as
a standalone Sequence R. The Ack-only receive operation filters all incoming frames, looking only
for an Acknowledge frame whose Sequence Number matches the Sequence Number which was
transmitted in the Sequence T portion of the sequence. All non-matching frames are discarded, and
after each non-matching frame, the sequence manager will return the receiver to preamble-detect
mode. This receive operation will continue until the matching Ack frame is received. Because this
is a Receive-Acknowledge-Only operation, and not a Sequence R, no receive octets are transferred
to RAM. The sequence ends with a RXIRQ interrupt, which indicates that the matching Ack frame
was successfully received.
If the transmit operation of a Sequence TR is requesting an Acknowledge frame of the receiving end device
(Frame Control Field: AckRequest=1), then Sequence TR with RXACKRQD=1 is the appropriate
procedure. Using Sequence TR with RXACKREQ = 0 is not recommended for this scenario, because there
is no Sequence Number matching.
Conversely, if the transmit operation of a Sequence TR is not requesting an Acknowledge frame of the
receiving end device (Frame Control Field: AckRequest = 0), then Sequence TR with RXACKRQD = 1
should never be used, because a receive acknowledge frame will not be forthcoming. Instead, use
Sequence TR with RXACKRQD = 0, or simply Sequence T, if no follow-up receive frame is expected.
6.9.7.2
Sequence T/R T3CMP Time-out
Similar to the Sequence R usage, after the Sequence T/R receiver warm-up, timer T3CMP can be enabled
as a “bracketing” timer. If enabled and a T3CMP timer match occurs (no incoming frame is detected), the
sequence manager will warm down the receiver and return to SEQ_IDLE state.
6.9.7.3
Sequence T/R Exceptions
See Section 6.9.4.3, “Sequence R Exceptions” and Section 6.9.5.2, “Sequence T Exceptions” for the
appropriate execution for the transmit or receive exceptions.
6.9.8
Sequence CCCA (Continuous CCA)
Sequence CCCA is the Continuous CCA sequence. This sequence is designed to accommodate situations
where channel availability may be infrequent, or low-duty-cycle, and a device needs to be able to transmit
at the earliest available opportunity. During Sequence CCCA, the sequence manager repeats CCA
measurements continuously until a channel-idle condition is found.

IEEE 802.15.4 Transceiver (including 802.15.4 Module)
6.9.8.1
Sequence CCCA Execution
For the CCAA operation:
• Only CCA Mode 1 and Mode 2 may be used.
• There is a 54us delay between CCA iterations. The actual interval between consecutive CCA
measurements, in the CCCA sequence, is exactly 188us.
• After each CCA iteration, the CCA bit is set to the result of the measurement. As long as the CCA
bit is high (busy) at the end of the iteration, the sequence manager will initiate a new measurement.
• Unlike Sequence C (standalone CCA), there is no CCAIRQ interrupt generated at the end of each
CCA measurement, until the channel-idle condition is detected, at which point CCAIRQ is issued.
• The SLOTTED bit has no effect on this sequence.
• A Sequence CCCA is aborted by the Sequence Manager if a TMR3 match occurs, and
TC3TMOUT=1.
The basic execution of a Sequence CCCA is as follows:
1. Optional timer initiated — MCU writes T2CMP compare value to the desired initiation time
— Sets TMRTRIGEN
2. MCU initializes CCATYPE to desired algorithm
3. MCU writes XCVSEQ = CCCA
4. Optional timer initiated – Wait for T2CMP match (if TMRTRIGEN=1)
5. SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmup and enters receive mode.
6. SEQ_MGR initiates CCA by signalling the receiver
7. SEQ_MGR waits for CCA to complete
8. CCA bit is set to the CCA status (1 = Busy 0 = Idle)
9. If CCA=1, initiate a new CCA measurement immediately and repeat the previous 3 steps
10. If CCA=0, CCAIRQ status is issued
11. SEQ_MGR executes RxWarmdown
12. SEQIRQ status issued
6.9.8.2
Sequence CCCA T3CMP Time-out
Timer T3CMP can be enabled as a “bracketing” timer. If enabled and a T3CMP timer match occurs (no
incoming frame is detected), the sequence manager will warm down the receiver and return to SEQ_IDLE
state.
6.9.8.3
Sequence CCCA Exceptions
Because of the repeated CCA operations:
• The CCA bit (STATUS1 register) and the CCAFNL register will change dynamically during the
CCA measurement, and are only considered valid (and sampled by the Sequence Manager), at the
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8

end of the CCA measurement; therefore the user should not continuously poll CCA and CCAFNL
and expect continuously-valid results, because they are not latched.
The user can continuously monitor the Sequence CCCA status by reading the CCAIRQ status
Effect of Timer TC3 on Sequence Manager
Timer TC3 can be used as a “bracketing” timer, to abort certain sequences after a software-determined
time-out period. This time-out mechanism is enabled by setting the TC3TMOUT bit to 1. If
TC3TMOUT=0, then the abort mechanism is disabled, and timer TC3 functions merely as a software
timer.
Timer TC3’s hardware-abort functions are summarized in the following table.

Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) Control
The on board differential power amplifier (PA) can be programmed to set output power, see
Section 6.13.25, “Power Amplifier (PA) Power Control Register (PA_PWR_CNTL)”. The PA outputs are
enabled via hardware when a transmit operation occurs.
6.11
Hardware Pseudo-Random Number Generator
To assist in generating seeds/keys for the AES security, the MC13234/MC13237 provides hardware
generation of a pseudo-random 16-bit number. The accumulator of the FracN counter used in the LO1
synthesizer is read to provide this number. Access to the FracN hardware uses an indirect addressing
technique that is normally reserved for chip test using the indirect access registers described in
Section 6.13.33, “Transceiver Indirect Access Registers (INDEX and DATA)”
NOTE
To generate the pseudo-random 16-bit number, a software function activates
the synthesizer for a random time from between 1 – 10 ms and then read
accesses the FracN accumulator. Freescale provides this function call as part
of its various software stacks. The user is directed to use this function.

Slotted Mode — enables slotted mode for beacon-enabled networks. Applies only to Sequences T, TR, and
R, ignored during all other sequences. Used in concert with CCABFRTX to determine how many CCA cycles
are required prior to a transmit operation. Also used during R sequence to determine whether the ensuing
transmit acknowledge frame (if any) needs to be synchronized to a back off slot boundary.

1 Slotted mode – specifies to the TX, CCA and AutoAck mechanism that an auto back off needs to be
computed and applied to their timing.
• For AutoAck operations, this computed back off is only applied to the TxAck transmissions when both the
SLOTTED and AUTOACK bits are enable (set to '1').
• In the case of a CCA sequence a SLOTTED bit setting of '1' will cause the CCA to be executed two times,
with the second CCA occurring 20 symbols after the beginning of the first one.

CCABFRTX
Clear Channel Assessment Before Transmit — this bit controls the introduction of a CCA operation prior
to the start of transmit operation. Applies only to Sequences T and TR, ignored during all other
sequences.
This bit only affects sequences in which the transmit operation is the first element of the sequence. For
instance a Transmit only sequence will begin with a CCA followed by TX when this bit is enabled.
The CCA operation will start the sequence in accordance to the result by the CCA operation. If the CCA flag
indicates a clear channel (set to 0), the sequence continues to the transmit operation; otherwise it is
terminated.
0 Disabled – no CCA executed, transmit operation begins immediately.
1 Enabled – at least one CCA measurement is required prior to the transmit operation (see also
SLOTTED)
RXACKRQD
AUTOACK
RX Acknowledge Required — Applies only to Sequence TR, ignored during all other sequences.
0 Disabled – an ordinary receive frame (not an Ack frame) follows the transmit frame; thus a simple
Receive operation is executed in the TR sequence.
1 Enabled – a receive Ack frame follows the transmit frame.
Auto Acknowledge Enable — applies only to Receive (R) sequence or T/R Sequence (ignored
otherwise).
0 Disabled – sequence manager will not follow a receive frame with a Tx Ack frame under any conditions;
the sequence will terminate after the receive frame
1 Enabled – sequence manager will follow a receive frame with an automatic hardware-generated TX Ack
frame, assuming other necessary conditions are met.

XCVSEQ
Transceiver Sequence — Writing a command selects one of six possible transceiver operations.
• Writing a new command while in the IDLE state initiates a new sequence.
• The sequence start can be optionally delayed through a timer-triggered mode (see TMRTRIGEN)
• Writing an IDLE command aborts any ongoing sequence.
• Writing of an IDLE command must always be performed after a sequence is complete, before a new
sequence is programmed or the new command will be ignored.
• Any write to XCVSEQ other than XCVSEQ = IDLE during an ongoing sequence, shall be ignored.

Control bits in the RX_FRAME_FILTER Register set the accept/reject option
The receive will only complete if the following conditions are met:
1. Destination address:
a) If PAN ID is included other than the broadcast, it must match the macPANID else the PAN ID
must be the broadcast value (0xFFFF)
b) If a short destination address is include in the frame, it must match the macShortAddress field
else the broadcast address (0xFFFF)
c) If a long destination address is include in the frame, it must match the aExtendedAddress.field
d) If only source addressing fields are included in a Data or MAC command frame, the frame shall
be accepted only if the device is a PAN coordinator (PANCOORD = 1) and the source PAN
identifier matches macPANId.
2. Illegal Frame types are rejected, unless the NS_FT field is set.
3. Beacon frames are accepted under the following conditions
a) Beacon frames enable
b) The source PAN ID matches macPANID or it equals 0xFFFF
c) Length >= 9
d) The destination address mode is 0 (no destination address)
e) The source address mode is 2 or 3 (i.e. a source address is included)
4. Data frames are accepted under the following conditions:
a) Data frames are enabled
b) Length >= 9
c) If the device is a PAN coordinator (PANCOORD bit) and the source PAN identifier matches
macPANId. This means that if the destination address is not present, the frame will be accepted
only if the PANCOORD = 1 and the PANID in the source address field is equal to the receiving
device macPANID. If the device is NOT a PAN coordinator, the destination address mode must
be 2 or 3, and destination address-matching rules apply.

5. Acknowledgement Frames are accepted under the following conditions:
a) Acknowledge Frames are enabled
b) Length == 5
c) Sequence number has to match.
6. Command Frames are accepted under the following conditions:
a) Command Frames are enabled
b) Length >= 9
c) Source or Destination Address are included, else it must be a coordinator (PANCOORD = 1)
in which case the PANID must equal macPANID. If the device is NOT a PAN coordinator, the
destination address mode must be 2 or 3, and destination address-matching rules apply.
Packet Rejection:
If a frame is rejected, the transceiver will start searching for a new frame after the rejected frame has been
received.

6.13.33 Transceiver Indirect Access Registers (INDEX and DATA)
The transceiver Indirect Access Registers are normally reserved and are used to access a block of
transceiver test radio functions. The only times this interface is used for application purposes are:
• Pseudo-random number generation
• Setting transmit power
• Controlling the analog voltage regulator for low power operation
NOTE
Refer to Section 3.10, “Transceiver Indirect Access Register Application
Functions” for information on using these functions.
The interface is composed of two registers:
• INDEX – writing this register provides an address to an internal register block that is used for read
or write of the selected register
• DATA – writing data to this register causes a write of the same data to the internal register that is
addressed by the INDEX register. A read access of the DATA register returns the contents of the
internal register that is addressed by the INDEX register.

Advanced Security Module (ASM)
7.1
Introduction
The Advanced Security Module (ASM) is a hardware engine that encrypts using the 128-bit version of the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). It can perform Counter (CTR), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), and
plain AES mode encryption. The combination of CTR and CBC modes of encryption is known as Counter
with CBC-MAC (CCM) mode encryption. CCM is a generic authenticate and encrypt block cipher mode.
CCM is only defined for use with 128-bit block ciphers, such as AES.

7.1.1
NOTE
The encryption structures are briefly described in the modes below,
however, users are directed to external resources for an in-depth
understanding of the AES standard
An in-depth definition of CCM mode encryption is documented in the
NIST publication SP800-38C.
The IEEE 802.15.4 Standard and the ZigBee specification deal only
with encryption, not decryption. The ASM does not support all modes
of decryption. The user is directed to the referenced standards and
specifications for more information.
The ASM block supports simple AES Mode encryption, but does NOT
support simple AES decryption.
Features
The ASM has the following features:
• CTR encryption in 11 bus clock cycles.
• CBC encryption in 11 bus clock cycles
• AES encryption in 11 bus clock cycles.
• Encrypts 128 bits as a unit.
• All 128-bit data values accessed through a single block of 16 8-bit registers
• All accesses are on an 8-bit basis.

Functional Overview
The ASM block consists of an iterative encryption engine that is sequenced by an encryption state machine
(SM) state machine or a self-test state machine. The block is controlled by mode bits that determine the
encryption algorithm and data is exchanged between the MCU and the ASM Block via a single 128-bit
buffer in the register block. Supporting the actual encryption engine is a register block that consists of two
control/status registers and a bidirectional 16-byte data interface to provide data and constants. The ASM
is clocked by the bus clock which always 1/2 the CPU clock rate (typically bus clock is 16 MHz).
7.3.1
Control Flow
The encryption or self-test process is sequenced by the appropriate SM. The general flow for the different
encryption modes is:
1. Set desired encryption mode
2. Load required data components
3. Initiate the sequence
4. Wait for sequence completion
5. Read the resultant data component

Setting Encryption Mode
The encryption mode is based on the control bits listed in Figure 7-1. The defined mode of encryption is
determined by setting the appropriate bit. Use of these bits during the encryption process is described in
sub-sections of Section 7.4.

Using the 128-Bit Data Interface
All required input data components and encryption results use a single 128-bit data interface buffer (16
byte-wide registers). The registers are described in Section 7.5.3, “AES 128 Data Registers (ASMDATA0
- ASMDATAF)” as to their organization and addresses. The use of the registers is controlled by the
following fields:
• CLEAR Bit, AES Control Register 1 - writing a “1” to this bit clears all memory in the ASM, and
the bit is self-clearing.
• Load_MAC Bit, AES Control Register 1 - writing a “1” to this bit loads the contents of the 128-bit
data buffer into the ASM as the component selected by the “Data Register Type Select” field, and
the bit is self-clearing.
• Data Register Type Select Field [2:0], AES Control Register 2 - this 3-bit field selects the target
encryption component for a data write to the ASM (by writing a “1” to Load_MAC Bit), and also
selects the encryption result component for an ASM data read. Table 7-2 lists use of data buffer
versus the select field.

Advanced Security Module (ASM)
For a write operation, the 128-bit buffer must first be loaded, the Data Register Type Select set, and finally
the Load_MAC Bit written. For a read operation, the Data Register Type Select is first set, and a read of
the 16 buffer registers yields the128-bit selected result.
7.3.1.3
Initiating the Sequence and Getting Sequence Results
After the desired encryption mode is selected and the required encryption components are loaded, the
sequence is initiated by writing the START Bit, AES Control Register 1. Other than self-test, all encryption
sequences require 11 bus clock cycles. Completion of the encryption is signified by setting of the
IRQ_FLAG status bit, AES Control Register 1.
The status flag can be enabled to generate an interrupt request or can be simply monitored by the CPU.
The encryption results are read as described in Section 7.3.1.2. The ASM has been assigned Interrupt
Vector No. 8.
7.3.2
Module Initialization
The ASM is unique in that it has a self-test mode, and it exits system reset disabled until the self-test mode
has been run. After the self-test has been run and passes, the ASM is available for normal use. See
Section 7.4.1 the description for self-test.
7.4
ASM Modes of Operation
The ASM performs Counter (CTR), Cipher Block Chaining (CBC), Counter with CBC-MAC (CCM), and
plain AES encryption modes as well as self-test.
NOTE
In the following example flows for executing an encryption cycle:
•
•
7.4.1
Writing a Key, Counter, MAC/Start, or Data value to the ASM implies
a three step process; 1) Write the proper code to the Data_Reg_Type_Sel
field, 2) Write the 128-bit value to the data interface registers, and 3) the
Write Load_MAC bit to load the value from the buffer into the ASM.
Reading an encryption result from the ASM implies a two step process;
1) Write the proper code to the Data_Reg_Type_Sel field, 2) Read the
128-bit return value from the data interface registers
Self-Test
As described, the ASM exits reset disabled and remains disabled until the self-test is run and is passed.
Typical usage would require that this test be run only once after reset. This test can re-run at any time it
becomes necessary to verify the operation of the encryption engine.
Self-test is run by:
1. Initialize - write SELFTEST bit to “1”
2. Start test - write START bit to “1” (bit is self-clearing)
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
7-4
Freescale Semiconductor
Advanced Security Module (ASM)
3. Self-test runs - requires 3330 clocks to complete
4. Test completes:
— Passes test: TSTPAS status flag is set and IRQ_FLAG status flag is set. An IRQ is asserted if
it is enabled. The ASM is ready for normal use.
— Fails test: TSTPAS remains low (clear) and IRQ_FLAG status flag is set. An IRQ is asserted
if it is enabled. The ASM module is disabled and all outputs will be held to constant “0”. The
self-test mode can be re-run.
•
•
7.4.2
NOTE
Be sure to clear the SELFTEST bit before trying any other mode.
It is also good practice to clear the ASM registers by writing to the
CLEAR Bit of Control Register 1 immediately after self-test so that the
ASM module is ready for any encryption mode.
Counter (CTR) Mode
Counter mode encryption (CTR) is done by using the AES engine as shown in the functional block
diagram of Figure 7-2. Three 128-bit variables consisting of a Key, plain Text, and Counter values are each
written to the encryption engine using the data buffer interface. The encryption cycle is initiated and
requires 11 bus clocks to complete. The IRQ_FLAG status flag is set and an IRQ is asserted if it is enabled.
The encrypted data can be then read from the data register.

Decryption is possible for CTR mode and uses the same AES encryption engine configuration. The Key
and Counter values remain the same, however, data to be decrypted is written to the data register. The
decrypted result can be read from the data register similar to the encryption cycle.
A simple flow for CTR encryption consists of:
1. Write the Key value to the ASM.
2. Set the CTR bit in Control Register 1 - all other mode control bits must be clear
3. Write the Counter value to the ASM.
4. Write the plain Text value to the ASM.
5. Set the START bit in Control Register 1- this bit is a self clearing.
6. The Counter encryption runs to completion (11 bus clock cycles) — The IRQ_FLAG status bit, AES Control Register 1 is set - an IRQ is generated is enabled.

7. Read the encrypted CTR Result from the ASM
Steps 3-7 are repeated for each additional 128-bits plain text block. The Key value is re-used, and the
Counter and plain Text values are new for each block. The IRQ_STATUS flag must be cleared after each
iteration.
The decryption process is the same with the exception that the previously encoded 128-bit block is loaded
in Step 4 and the results of Step 7 are now the plain text decrypted block.
7.4.3
Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) Mode
Cipher block chaining message authentication code (CBC or CBC-MAC) generation is done by using the
AES engine as shown in the functional block diagram of Figure 7-3. Two 128-bit variables consisting of
a Key and plain Text values are each written to the encryption engine using the data buffer interface. The
encryption cycle is initiated and requires 11 bus clocks to complete. The IRQ_FLAG status flag is set and
an IRQ is asserted if it is enabled. Additional blocks are encrypted as they are chained together. The final
encrypted MAC result can be then read from the data register.

Figure 7-3. CBC Mode Functional Block Diagram
A simple flow for CBC-MAC encryption consists of:
1. Clear MAC accumulator as required - see NOTE below. This is required after self-test.
2. Write the Key value to the ASM.
3. Set the CBC bit in Control Register 1 - all other mode control bits must be clear
4. Write the plain Text value to the ASM.
5. Set the START bit in Control Register 1- this bit is a self clearing.
6. The CBC encryption runs to completion (11 bus clock cycles) — The IRQ_FLAG status bit, AES Control Register 1 is set - an IRQ is generated is enabled.
— The software may poll the status flag or wait for the interrupt
7. Repeat Steps 4-6 for each additional 128-bit plain text block - the Key value is re-used, and the
plain Text value is new for each block. The IRQ_STATUS flag must be cleared before each
iteration. This sequence accomplishes the block chaining.
8. Read the encrypted 128-bit MAC (authentication code) Result (Data_Reg_Type_Sel field to 0x4)

7.4.4
NOTE
The MAC accumulator must be cleared to prepare for a new encryption
payload. Writing a 1 to the CLEAR bit will set the MAC accumulator
back to all zeroes. The clear bit is self clearing.
If for some reason the software needs to continue a MAC calculation
from a previously saved value, the MAC accumulator can be pre-loaded
with a initial value. Program Control register2[7:5] to 3’b101 now the
value that must be loaded into the accumulator is written to data
registers and then a 1 is written to the load_mac bit. The load_mac bit is
self clearing.
Counter With CBC-MAC (CCM) Mode
CCM mode is the combination of using CTR mode for protecting the privacy of data, and using CBC mode
to generate a MAC to protect the data from unauthorized modifications. In this mode both CTR and CBC
mode bits are set and the ASM first performs a CTR encryption followed by a CBC conversion. The results
of CTR and CBC conversion are stored in separate registers which can be read separately from another.
A simple flow for CCM encryption consists of:
1. Clear MAC accumulator as required - see NOTE below. This is required after self-test.
2. Write the Key value to the ASM.
3. Set the CTR and CBC bits in Control Register 1 - all other mode control bits must be clear
4. Write the Counter value to the ASM.
5. Write the plain Text value to the ASM.
6. Set the START bit in Control Register 1- this bit is a self clearing.
7. The CTR/CBC-MAC encryption runs to completion — The IRQ_FLAG status bit, AES Control Register 1 is set - an IRQ is generated is enabled.
— The software may poll the status flag or wait for the interrupt
8. Read the encrypted CTR Result from the ASM
9. Clear the IRQ_FLAG status bit.
10. Repeat Steps 4-9 for each additional 128-bit plain text block - the Key value is re-used, and the
Counter and plain Text values are new for each block.
11. Read the encrypted 128-bit MAC (authentication code) Result (Data_Reg_Type_Sel field to 0x4)

Plain AES Mode
AES mode is done by using the AES engine as shown in the functional block diagram of Figure 7-4. This
mode is the most simple method of encryption in that there is no feedback of results back to modify the
input in any form. Two 128-bit variables consisting of a Key and plain Text, values are each written to the
encryption engine using the data buffer interface. The encryption cycle is initiated and requires 11 bus
clocks to complete. The IRQ_FLAG status flag is set and an IRQ is asserted if it is enabled. The encrypted
data can be then read from the data register.

Introduction
This chapter provides summary information about the registers, addressing modes, and instruction set of
the CPU which executes a superset of the 68HC08 instruction set. It has an 8-bit data bus, a 16-bit address
bus and a 2-stage instruction pipe that facilitates the overlapping of instruction fetching and execution. For
a more detailed description, see the HCS08 Family Reference Manual, volume 1, Freescale Semiconductor
document order number HCS08RMV1/D
The HCS08 CPU is fully source and object code compatible with the M68HC08 CPU. Several instructions
and enhanced addressing modes were added to improve C compiler efficiency and to support a new
background debug system which replaces the monitor mode of earlier M68HC08 MCU.
8.1.1
Features
Features of the HCS08 CPU include:
• Object code fully upward-compatible with M68HC05 and M68HC08 Families
• 64-KB CPU address space with banked memory management unit for greater than 64 KB
• 16-bit stack pointer (any size stack anywhere in 64-KB CPU address space)
• 16-bit index register (H:X) with powerful indexed addressing modes
• 8-bit accumulator (A)
• Many instructions treat X as a second general-purpose 8-bit register
• Seven addressing modes:
— Inherent — Operands in internal registers
— Relative — 8-bit signed offset to branch destination
— Immediate — Operand in next object code byte(s)
— Direct — Operand in memory at 0x0000–0x00FF
— Extended — Operand anywhere in 64-Kbyte address space
— Indexed relative to H:X — Five submodes including auto increment
— Indexed relative to SP — Improves C efficiency dramatically
• Memory-to-memory data move instructions with four address mode combinations
• Overflow, half-carry, negative, zero, and carry condition codes support conditional branching on
the results of signed, unsigned, and binary-coded decimal (BCD) operations
• Efficient bit manipulation instructions
• Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply and 16-bit by 8-bit divide instructions

STOP and WAIT instructions to invoke low-power operating modes
Modes of Operation
The CPU is affected by the device mode of operation:
• Run mode - normal operation. The CPU clock is set by the prescaler, programmed by the
RDIV[2:0] field of the System Oscillator Management and Control Register 1 (SOMC1)
• LPRun modes - CPU clock is reduce to 32 MHz reference oscillator divided by 64 (500 kHz).
Reduced clock affects operation of time based peripherals.
• Wait and Stop modes - the CPU clock is disabled and the CPU does not run.
• Background Debug mode. The CPU is halted in BDM mode.
• CPU can be suspended by flash (reset, BIST mode and system security word access)
• DMA <> RAM accesses - DMA cycles work on a cycle steal basis and take bus clocks from the
CPU.

arithmetic and logical operations. The accumulator can be loaded from memory using various addressing
modes to specify the address where the loaded data comes from, or the contents of A can be stored to

This 16-bit register is actually two separate 8-bit registers (H and X), which often work together as a 16-bit
address pointer where H holds the upper byte of an address and X holds the lower byte of the address. All
indexed addressing mode instructions use the full 16-bit value in H:X as an index reference pointer;
however, for compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family, some instructions operate only on the
low-order 8-bit half (X).
Many instructions treat X as a second general-purpose 8-bit register that can be used to hold 8-bit data
values. X can be cleared, increment, decrement, be complemented, negated, shifted, or rotated. Transfer
instructions allow data to be transferred from A or transferred to A where arithmetic and logical operations
can then be performed.
For compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family, H is forced to 0x00 during reset. Reset has no effect
on the contents of X.
8.2.3
Stack Pointer (SP)
This 16-bit address pointer register points at the next available location on the automatic last-in-first-out
(LIFO) stack. The stack may be located anywhere in the 64-Kbyte address space that has RAM and can
be any size up to the amount of available RAM. The stack is used to automatically save the return address
for subroutine calls, the return address and CPU registers during interrupts, and for local variables. The
AIS (add immediate to stack pointer) instruction adds an 8-bit signed immediate value to SP. This is most
often used to allocate or deallocate space for local variables on the stack.
SP is forced to 0x00FF at reset for compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 Family. HCS08 programs
normally change the value in SP to the address of the last location (highest address) in on-chip RAM
during reset initialization to free up direct page RAM (from the end of the on-chip registers to 0x00FF).
The RSP (reset stack pointer) instruction was included for compatibility with the M68HC05 Family and
is seldom used in new HCS08 programs because it only affects the low-order half of the stack pointer.
8.2.4
Program Counter (PC)
The program counter is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next instruction or operand to be
fetched.
During normal program execution, the program counter automatically increments to the next sequential
memory location every time an instruction or operand is fetched. Jump, branch, interrupt, and return
operations load the program counter with an address other than that of the next sequential location. This
is called a change-of-flow.
During reset, the program counter is loaded with the reset vector that is located at $FFFE and $FFFF. The
vector stored there is the address of the first instruction that will be executed after exiting the reset state.

Condition Code Register (CCR)
The 8-bit condition code register contains the interrupt mask (I) and five flags that indicate the results of
the instruction just executed. Bits 6 and 5 are set permanently to 1. The following paragraphs describe the
functions of the condition code bits in general terms. For a more detailed explanation of how each
instruction sets the CCR bits, see the HCS08 Family Reference Manual, volume 1, Freescale

Half-Carry Flag — The CPU sets the half-carry flag when a carry occurs between accumulator bits 3 and 4 during
an add-without-carry (ADD) or add-with-carry (ADC) operation. The half-carry flag is required for binary-coded
decimal (BCD) arithmetic operations. The DAA instruction uses the states of the H and C condition code bits to
automatically add a correction value to the result from a previous ADD or ADC on BCD operands to correct the
result to a valid BCD value.
0 No carry between bits 3 and 4

Interrupt Mask Bit — When the interrupt mask is set, all maskable CPU interrupts are disabled. CPU interrupts
are enabled when the interrupt mask is cleared. When a CPU interrupt occurs, the interrupt mask is set
automatically after the CPU registers are saved on the stack, but before the first instruction of the interrupt service
routine is executed.
Interrupts are not recognized at the instruction boundary after any instruction that clears I (CLI or TAP). This
ensures that the next instruction after a CLI or TAP will always be executed without the possibility of an intervening
interrupt, provided I was set.

Negative Flag — The CPU sets the negative flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data

Addressing Modes
Addressing modes define the way the CPU accesses operands and data. In the HCS08, memory, status and
control registers, and input/output (I/O) ports share a single 64-Kbyte CPU address space. This
arrangement means that the same instructions that access variables in RAM can also be used to access I/O
and control registers or nonvolatile program space.
The HCS08 has larger than 64-Kbytes of memory so it has a memory management unit (MMU) to support
extended memory space. A PPAGE register is used to manage 16-Kbyte pages of memory which can be
accessed by the CPU through a 16-Kbyte window from 0x8000 through 0xBFFF. The CPU includes two
special instructions (CALL and RTC). CALL operates like the JSR instruction except that CALL saves the
current PPAGE value on the stack and provides a new PPAGE value for the destination. RTC works like
the RTS instruction except RTC restores the old PPAGE value in addition to the PC during the return from
the called routine. The MMU also includes a linear address pointer register and data access registers so
that the extended memory space operates as if it was a single linear block of memory.
Some instructions use more than one addressing mode. For instance, move instructions use one addressing
mode to specify the source operand and a second addressing mode to specify the destination address.
Instructions such as BRCLR, BRSET, CBEQ, and DBNZ use one addressing mode to specify the location
of an operand for a test and then use relative addressing mode to specify the branch destination address
when the tested condition is true. For BRCLR, BRSET, CBEQ, and DBNZ, the addressing mode listed in
the instruction set tables is the addressing mode needed to access the operand to be tested, and relative
addressing mode is implied for the branch destination.
A summary of the addressing modes used by the core is given in Table 8-2.

8.3.1
Inherent Addressing Mode (INH)
In this addressing mode, operands needed to complete the instruction (if any) are located within CPU
registers so the CPU does not need to access memory to get any operands.
8.3.2
Relative Addressing Mode (REL)
Relative addressing mode is used to specify the destination location for branch instructions. A signed 8-bit
offset value is located in the memory location immediately following the opcode. During execution, if the
branch condition is true, the signed offset is sign-extended to a 16-bit value and is added to the current
contents of the program counter, which causes program execution to continue at the branch destination
address.
8.3.3
Immediate Addressing Mode (IMM)
In immediate addressing mode, the operand needed to complete the instruction is included in the object
code immediately following the instruction opcode in memory. In the case of a 16-bit immediate operand,
the high-order byte is located in the next memory location after the opcode, and the low-order byte is
located in the next memory location after that.

Freescale Semiconductor
CPU
8.3.4
Direct Addressing Mode (DIR)
In direct addressing mode, the instruction includes the low-order eight bits of an address in the direct page
(0x0000–0x00FF). During execution a 16-bit address is formed by concatenating an implied 0x00 for the
high-order half of the address and the direct address from the instruction to get the 16-bit address where
the desired operand is located. This is faster and more memory efficient than specifying a complete 16-bit
address for the operand.
8.3.5
Extended Addressing Mode (EXT)
In extended addressing mode, the full 16-bit address of the operand is located in the next two bytes of
program memory after the opcode (high byte first).
8.3.6
Indexed Addressing Mode
Indexed addressing mode has seven variations including five that use the 16-bit H:X index register pair
and two that use the stack pointer as the base reference.
8.3.6.1
Indexed, No Offset (IX)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair as the address of
the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.3.6.2
Indexed, No Offset with Post Increment (IX+)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair as the address of
the operand needed to complete the instruction. The index register pair increments (H:X = H:X + 0x0001)
after the operand has been fetched. This addressing mode is only used for MOV and CBEQ instructions.
8.3.6.3
Indexed, 8-Bit Offset (IX1)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus an unsigned
8-bit offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.3.6.4
Indexed, 8-Bit Offset with Post Increment (IX1+)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus an unsigned
8-bit offset included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
The index register pair increments (H:X = H:X + 0x0001) after the operand has been fetched. This
addressing mode is used only for the CBEQ instruction.
8.3.6.5
Indexed, 16-Bit Offset (IX2)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the H:X index register pair plus a 16-bit offset
included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.

8.3.6.6
SP-Relative, 8-Bit Offset (SP1)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the stack pointer (SP) plus an unsigned 8-bit

8.3.6.7
SP-Relative, 16-Bit Offset (SP2)
This variation of indexed addressing uses the 16-bit value in the stack pointer (SP) plus a 16-bit offset
included in the instruction as the address of the operand needed to complete the instruction.
8.4
Special Operations
The CPU performs a few special operations that are similar to instructions but do not have opcodes like
other CPU instructions. In addition, a few instructions such as STOP and WAIT directly affect other MCU
circuitry. This section provides additional information about these operations.
8.4.1
Reset Sequence
Reset can be caused by a power-on-reset (POR) event, internal conditions such as the COP (computer
operating properly) watchdog, or by assertion of an external active-low reset pin. When a reset event
occurs, the CPU immediately stops whatever it is doing (the MCU does not wait for an instruction
boundary before responding to a reset event).
The reset event is considered concluded when the sequence to determine whether the reset came from an
internal source is done and when the reset pin is no longer asserted. At the conclusion of a reset event, the
CPU performs a 6-cycle sequence to fetch the reset vector from 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF and to fill the
instruction queue in preparation for execution of the first program instruction.
8.4.2
Interrupt Sequence
When an interrupt is requested, the CPU completes the current instruction before responding to the
interrupt. At this point, the program counter is pointing at the start of the next instruction, which is where
the CPU should return after servicing the interrupt. The CPU responds to an interrupt by performing the
same sequence of operations as for a software interrupt (SWI) instruction, except the address used for the
vector fetch is determined by the highest priority interrupt that is pending when the interrupt sequence
started.
The CPU sequence for an interrupt is:
1. Store the contents of PCL, PCH, X, A, and CCR on the stack, in that order.
2. Set the I bit in the CCR.
3. Fetch the high-order half of the interrupt vector.
4. Fetch the low-order half of the interrupt vector.
5. Delay for one free bus cycle.
6. Fetch three bytes of program information starting at the address indicated by the interrupt vector
to fill the instruction queue in preparation for execution of the first instruction in the interrupt
service routine.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
8-8
Freescale Semiconductor
CPU
After the CCR contents are pushed onto the stack, the I bit in the CCR is set to prevent other interrupts
while in the interrupt service routine. Although it is possible to clear the I bit with an instruction in the
interrupt service routine, this would allow nesting of interrupts (which is not recommended because it
leads to programs that are difficult to debug and maintain).
For compatibility with the earlier M68HC05 MCUs, the high-order half of the H:X index register pair (H)
is not saved on the stack as part of the interrupt sequence. The user must use a PSHH instruction at the
beginning of the service routine to save H and then use a PULH instruction just before the RTI that ends
the interrupt service routine. Do not save H if the interrupt service routine does not use any instructions or
if auto-increment addressing modes may change the value of H.
The software interrupt (SWI) instruction is like a hardware interrupt except that it is not masked by the
global I bit in the CCR and it is associated with an instruction opcode within the program so it is not
asynchronous to program execution.
8.4.3
Wait Mode Operation
The WAIT instruction enables interrupts by clearing the I bit in the CCR. It then halts the clocks to the
CPU to reduce overall power consumption while the CPU is waiting for the interrupt or reset event that
will wake the CPU from wait mode. When an interrupt or reset event occurs, the CPU clocks will resume
and the interrupt or reset event will be processed normally.
If a serial BACKGROUND command is issued to the MCU through the background debug interface while
the CPU is in wait mode, CPU clocks will resume and the CPU will enter active background mode where
other serial background commands can be processed. This ensures that a host development system can still
gain access to a target MCU even if it is in wait mode.
8.4.4
Stop Mode Operation
Usually, all system clocks, including the crystal oscillator (when used), are halted during stop mode to
minimize power consumption. In such systems, external circuitry is needed to control the time spent in
stop mode and to issue a signal to wake up the target MCU when it is time to resume processing. Unlike
the earlier M68HC05 and M68HC08 MCUs, the HCS08 can be configured to keep a minimum set of
clocks running in stop mode. This optionally allows an internal periodic signal to wake the target MCU
from stop mode.
When a host debug system is connected to the background debug pin (BKGD) and the ENBDM control
bit has been set by a serial command through the background interface (or because the MCU was reset into
active background mode), the oscillator is forced to remain active when the MCU enters stop mode. In this
case, if a serial BACKGROUND command is issued to the MCU through the background debug interface
while the CPU is in stop mode, CPU clocks will resume and the CPU will enter active background mode
where other serial background commands can be processed. This ensures that a host development system
can still gain access to a target MCU even if it is in stop mode.
Recovery from stop mode depends on the particular HCS08 and whether the oscillator was stopped in stop
mode.

Freescale Semiconductor
8-9
CPU
8.4.5
BGND Instruction
The BGND instruction is new to the HCS08 compared to the M68HC08. BGND would not be used in
normal user programs because it forces the CPU to stop processing user instructions and enter the active
background mode. The only way to resume execution of the user program is through reset or by a host
debug system issuing a GO, TRACE1, or TAGGO serial command through the background debug
interface.
Software-based breakpoints can be set by replacing an opcode at the desired breakpoint address with the
BGND opcode. When the program reaches this breakpoint address, the CPU is forced to active
background mode rather than continuing the user program.
The CALL is similar to a jump-to-subroutine (JSR) instruction, but the subroutine that is called can be
located anywhere in the normal 64-Kbyte address space or on any page of program expansion memory.
When CALL is executed, a return address is calculated, then it and the current program page register value
are stacked, and a new instruction-supplied value is written to PPAGE. The PPAGE value controls which
of the possible 16-Kbyte pages is visible through the window in the 64-Kbyte memory map. Execution
continues at the address of the called subroutine.
The actual sequence of operations that occur during execution of CALL is:
1. CPU calculates the address of the next instruction after the CALL instruction (the return address)
and pushes this 16-bit value onto the stack, low byte first.
2. CPU reads the old PPAGE value and pushes it onto the stack.
3. CPU writes the new instruction-supplied page select value to PPAGE. This switches the destination
page into the program overlay window in the CPU address range 0x8000 0xBFFF.
4. Instruction queue is refilled starting from the destination address, and execution begins at the new
address.
This sequence of operations is an uninterruptable CPU instruction. There is no need to inhibit interrupts
during CALL execution. In addition, a CALL can be performed from any address in memory to any other
address. This is a big improvement over other bank-switching schemes, where the page switch operation
can be performed only by a program outside the overlay window.
For all practical purposes, the PPAGE value supplied by the instruction can be considered to be part of the
effective address. The new page value is provided by an immediate operand in the instruction.
The RTC instruction is used to terminate subroutines invoked by a CALL instruction. RTC unstacks the
PPAGE value and the return address, the queue is refilled, and execution resumes with the next instruction
after the corresponding CALL.
The actual sequence of operations that occur during execution of RTC is:
1. The return value of the 8-bit PPAGE register is pulled from the stack.
2. The 16-bit return address is pulled from the stack and loaded into the PC.
3. The return PPAGE value is written to the PPAGE register.
4. The queue is refilled and execution begins at the new address.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
8-10
Freescale Semiconductor
CPU
Because the return operation is implemented as a single uninterruptable CPU instruction, the RTC can be
executed from anywhere in memory, including from a different page of extended memory in the overlay
window.
The CALL and RTC instructions behave like JSR and RTS, except they have slightly longer execution
times. Because extra execution cycles are required, routinely substituting CALL/RTC for JSR/RTS is not
recommended. JSR and RTS can be used to access subroutines that are located outside the program overlay
window or on the same memory page. However, if a subroutine can be called from other pages, it must be
terminated with an RTC. In this case, because RTC unstacks the PPAGE value as well as the return address,
all accesses to the subroutine, even those made from the same page, must use CALL instructions.

Parallel Input and Output
9.1
Introduction
This section explains software controls related to parallel input/output (I/O) and pin control. The
MC13237 has 3 parallel 8-bit and 1 parallel 4-bit I/O ports, which include a total of 28 I/O pins. The
MC13234 has four parallel 8-bit I/O ports, which include a total of 32 I/O pins. See Chapter 2, “Pins and
Connections” for more information about pin assignments.
Many of these pins are shared with on-chip peripherals such as timer systems, communication systems, or
keyboard interrupts. The peripheral modules have priority over the general-purpose I/O functions so that
when a peripheral is enabled, the I/O functions associated with the shared pins are disabled.
After reset, the shared peripheral functions are disabled and the pins default to:
• Inputs
• Slew rate control enabled
• Low drive strength selected
• Internal pullups disabled.
•
•
9.2
NOTE
To avoid extra current drain from floating input pins, the user should
initialize any unused/unconnected GPIO as either the default inputs with
on-chip pullups enabled or to outputs set to low. See Chapter 3, “System
Considerations” for more details.
I/O signal PTA2 is a special pin that can enable a special reserved factory
test mode. See Section 3.3.2, “Signal PTA2 (Factory Test Mode
Enable)” for more information.
Features
Parallel I/O features include:
• A total of 28/32 general-purpose I/O pins in four ports
• Hysteresis input buffers
• Software-controlled pullups on each input pin
• Software-controlled slew rate output buffers
• Port A pins shared with IIC Bus and 32.768 kHz oscillator
• PTA2 enables a reserved factory test mode
• PTA7 is shared as serial debug port pin

IO Port Pin Functional Description
The following description provides an overview of an individual port pin. Figure 9-1 shows a simple block
diagram of a port pin.
Most pins reset to the conditions stated in Section 9.1, “Introduction”, however, there are the following
exceptions:
• PTA2 (factory test enable) — This signal should not be forced low while VDD is ramping-up.
— As VDD ramps, the POR circuit holds a reset condition until the voltage exceeds the POR
threshold. This pin is an input and must be in the low state when the POR exits reset or a factory
chip test mode is enabled.
— PTA2 is otherwise a standard GPIO port pin, however, best practice is to tie the pin low through
a resistor to assure a low state when exiting POR
— A reset initiated by the RESET pin or any operational condition other than POR does not affect
PTA2 or factory test.
• PTA7/BKGD/MS (shared debug port) — upon exiting reset, BKGD/MS is enabled and therefore
is not usable as an output pin until BKGDPE in SOPT Register is cleared.
Each pin has the programmable attributes of input mode versus output mode:
• Input mode with optional pullup
• Output mode
— Slew rate control
— Drive strength control
— Output state - as determined by output register

9.3.1
Port Data and Data Direction
Reading and writing of the parallel I/O are performed through the port data registers. The direction, either
input or output, is controlled through the port data direction registers.
The data direction control bit (PTxDDn) determines whether the output buffer for the associated pin is
enabled, and also controls the source for port data register reads. The input buffer for the associated pin is
always enabled or is an output-only pin.
When a shared digital function is enabled for a pin, the output buffer is controlled by the shared function.
However, the data direction register bit will continue to control the source for reads of the port data register.
It is a good programming practice to write to the port data register before changing the direction of a port
pin to become an output. This ensures that the pin will not be driven momentarily with an old data value
that happened to be in the port data register.
9.4
Pullup, Slew Rate, and Drive Strength
Associated with the parallel I/O ports is a set of registers located in the high page register space that operate
independently of the parallel I/O registers. These registers are used to control pullups, slew rate, and drive
strength for the pins and may be used in conjunction with the peripheral functions on these pins.
9.4.1
Port Internal Pullup Enable
An internal pullup device can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in the pullup
enable register (PTxPEn). The pullup device is disabled if the pin is configured as an output by the parallel
I/O control logic or any shared peripheral function regardless of the state of the corresponding pullup
enable register bit. The pullup is also disabled for an analog function.

Freescale Semiconductor
9-3
Parallel Input and Output
9.4.2
Port Slew Rate Enable
Slew rate control can be enabled for each port pin by setting the corresponding bit in the slew rate control
register (PTxSEn). When enabled, slew control limits the rate at which an output can transition to reduce
EMC emissions. Slew rate control has no effect on pins that are configured as inputs.
9.4.3
Port Drive Strength Select
An output pin can be selected to have high output drive strength by setting the corresponding bit in the
drive strength select register (PTxDSn). When high drive is selected, a pin is capable of sourcing and
sinking greater current. Even though every I/O pin can be selected as high drive, the user must ensure that
the total current source and sink limits for the MCU are not exceeded. Drive strength selection is intended
to affect the DC behavior of I/O pins. However, the AC behavior is also affected. High drive allows a pin
to drive a greater load with the same switching speed as a low drive enabled pin into a smaller load.
9.5
Pin Behavior in Stop Modes
Pin behavior following execution of a STOP instruction depends on the stop mode that is entered. An
explanation of pin behavior for the Stop3 mode follows:
• In Stop3 mode, all I/O is maintained because internal logic circuity stays powered up. Upon
recovery, normal I/O function is available to the user.
Pins behavior is unaffected by LPRun, Wait, and Background mode operation.
9.6
Interrupt Request Capability
The parallel IO ports have no interrupt request generation capability.
9.7
Parallel I/O and Pin Control Registers
Each port has an independent set of control registers. These registers are located both in the Direct-Page
and High-Page Register Maps:
• The data and data direction registers are located in the Direct-Page Map.
• The pullup, slew rate, and drive strength registers are located in the High-Page Map.
9.7.1
Port A Registers
Port A is controlled by the registers listed below.
9.7.1.1
Port A Data Register (PTAD)
PTAD is the Port A data register. The register contents drive the Port A pads when they are configured as
outputs. A read of this register returns the register contents for a programmed output and returns the state
of the pad for a programmed input.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
9-4
Freescale Semiconductor
Parallel Input and Output
When a shared digital function is enabled for a pin, the output buffer is controlled by the shared function.
However, the PTADD bit will continue to control the source for reads of the PTAD register.
NOTE
PTA2 is a special pin. If the VDD supply voltage is applied (or recycled),
the POR circuit is activated and tests the PTA2 input state as the POR
releases. If PTA2 is at a high state the device enters a factory test mode, and
if PTA2 is at a low state, normal operation ensues.

• Reset forces PTAD to all 0s, but these 0s are not driven out to the corresponding pins because reset also
configures all port pins as high-impedance inputs with pullups disabled.

Port D Data Register (PTDD)
PTDD is the Port D data register. The register contents drive the PORT D pads when they are configured
as outputs. A read of this register returns the register contents for a programmed output and returns the
state of the pad for a programmed input.
When a shared digital function is enabled for a pin, the output buffer is controlled by the shared function.

Real-Time Counter (RTC)
10.1
Introduction
The real-time counter (RTC) consists of a 16-bit counter, a 16-bit comparator, several binary-based and
decimal-based prescaler dividers, three clock sources, and a programmable periodic interrupt request. This
module can be used for time-of-day, calendar or task scheduling functions. It can also serve as a cyclic
wake-up from low power modes without the need of external components.
RTC can be clocked from the 32 MHz reference clock, the optional 32.768 kHz clock or the on board
1 kHz RC clock.
10.2
Features
Features of the RTC module include:
• 16-bit up-counter
— 16-bit modulo match limit
— Software controllable periodic interrupt on match
• Three software selectable clock sources for input to prescaler
— Optional 32.768 kHz oscillator (XOSC1).
— 32MHz reference oscillator (XOSC2).
— 1 kHz RC oscillator (default)
• Wide range of prescale options include binary and decimal divide-by ratios
• For lowest operating power, the RTC can be disabled via system clock gating control (Register
SCGC2, Bit 1)

Functional Description
The RTC is built around a main 16-bit up-counter (RTCCNT) driven by the internal RTC Clock that is
derived from a clock select multiplexer that, in turn, feeds a programmable prescaler with binary and
decimal divide-by options. The up-counter value is then compared to a 16-bit modulo register (RTCMOD)
that provides status (RTIF) and resets the up-counter upon a valid compare. The RTIF can be enabled to
provide an interrupt request.
After any MCU reset, the counter is stopped and reset to 0x00, the modulus register is set to 0x00, and the
prescaler is off. The 1kHz internal oscillator clock is selected as the default clock source. To start the
prescaler, any value other than zero is written to the prescaler select bits (RTCPS).
10.4.1
Clock Source and Prescale Value
Three clock sources are software selectable:
• The optional 32.768 kHz oscillator (XOSC1)
• 1 kHz RC oscillator (default)
• 32 MHz reference oscillator (XOSC2)
The RTC clock select bits (RTCLKS[1:0]) are used to select the desired clock source to the prescaler
dividers. If a different value is written to RTCLKS, the prescaler and RTCCNT counters are reset to 0x00.
NOTE
The selected RTC clock source impacts operation of the 1 kHz oscillator and
power down of the RTC:

The RTC must be enabled by the Register SCGC2, Bit 1 to switch the
RTC clock source to one other than the 1 kHz oscillator
The 1 kHz oscillator must not be the selected RTC clock source to allow
the 1 kHz oscillator to be disabled. See Section 5.4.1, “Clock Sources”.
The 1 kHz oscillator CANNOT be the selected RTC clock source if it is
desired to disable the RTC block via Register SCGC2, Bit 1. See
Section 10.5.2, “Stop3 Mode”
The RTC prescaler select bits (RTCPS[3:0]) in combination with the RTCLKS[0] bit select the desired
prescaler divide-by value. If a new value is written to RTCPS, the prescaler and RTCCNT counters are
reset to 0x00. Table 10-1 shows available prescaler period values.

Compare Function
The compare function is used to set a time base for generating a periodic interrupt that can be used for
walk-up or as a timetick. The time period is determined by:
• The frequency of the selected clock source
• The prescaler setting

Freescale Semiconductor
10-3
Real-Time Counter (RTC)
•
The RTC modulo register
10.4.2.1
RTC Modulo Register
The RTC modulo register (RTCMOD) provides the compare value which can be set to any value from
0x0000 to 0xFFFF. When the counter is active, the counter increments at the selected prescale rate until
the count matches the modulo value. When the values match, on the next clock the counter resets to
0x0000 and then continues counting. The real-time interrupt flag (RTIF) is set whenever a match occurs.
The flag sets on the transition from the modulo value to 0x00. Writing to RTCMOD resets the prescaler
and the RTCCNT counter to 0x0000.
10.4.2.2
RTC Accuracy with 1 kHz RC Oscillator
The RTC time period is only as accurate as the selected clock source. The 32.768 kHz and 32 MHz sources
are crystal-based and as such are very accurate. The 1 kHz RC oscillator frequency is typically accurate to
within ± 40% at room temperate and can vary even more with temperature.
It is possible to do a simple form of trimming for a 1 kHz oscillator based RTC application:
• Select an RTC prescale option that allows for the largest possible modulo register setting for the
desired timebase
• In software, provide a utility that creates a TPM timer function with a delay long enough to loosely
calibrate the RTC count.
— Use an interrupt from the TPM to read the RTC Counter Registers.
— This counter value can then be used to calculate a difference from an expected value.
— The difference can then be used to modify the Modulo register value to trim the RTC counter
period closer to an accurate value.
10.4.3
Interrupt Request
The RTC allows for an interrupt request to be generated whenever RTIF is set. To enable the real-time
interrupt, set the real-time interrupt enable bit (RTIE) in RTCSC. RTIF is cleared by writing a 1 to RTIF.
10.4.4
Module Clock Disable
The RTC compare logic and registers are driven by the bus clock. To disable the module for lowest
operating power, the module clock can be disabled by the RTC Bit of Register SCGC2.
10.5
Modes of Operation
The operational mode of the RTC is affected by the present mode of the MC13234/MC13237. The RTC is
unaffected in Run or LPRun modes.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
10-4
Freescale Semiconductor
Real-Time Counter (RTC)
10.5.1
Wait Mode
The RTC continues to run in Wait mode if it was enabled before executing the WAIT instruction.
Therefore, the RTC can be used to bring the MCU out of Wait mode if the real-time interrupt is enabled.
For lowest possible current consumption, the RTC should be stopped by software if not needed as an
interrupt source during Wait mode.
10.5.2
Stop3 Mode
The RTC continues to run in Stop3 mode if the RTC is enabled before executing the STOP instruction.
Therefore, the RTC can be used to bring the MCU out of stop modes, if the real-time interrupt is enabled.
• For lowest power, the RTC block can be disabled before entering Stop mode — The RTC clock source must first be programmed as the 32 MHz or the 32.768 kHz (not using
the 1 kHz source) before disabling the RTC block. The RTC clock must be enabled to allow
this operation.
— The RTC block is then disabled by writing RTC Clock Date Control (Bit 1, Register SCGC2)
to a zero.
• Power consumption is lower when the RTC is disabled, but in that case the real-time interrupt
cannot wake up the MCU from Stop modes.
10.5.3
Active Background Mode
The RTC suspends all counting during active background mode until the microcontroller returns to normal
user operating mode. Counting resumes from the suspended value as long as the RTCMOD register is not
written and the RTCPS and RTCLKS bits are not altered.
10.6
External Signal Description
The only external signals which affect the RTC are the 32.768 kHz oscillator crystal pins XTAL_32K and
EXTAL_32K when the oscillator is in use.
10.7
Register Definitions
The RTC includes a status and control register, an 16-bit counter register, and an 16-bit modulo register.
The register addresses are located in the High-Page Register map, and Table 10-2 lists address versus

NOTE
The RTC register map for the MC13234/MC13237 is an anomaly to
68HC08 standard address mapping. Normally for two-byte wide registers
such as the RTCCNT and RTCMOD, the most significant byte of the
variable is located at the lower address of two adjacent locations and the
least significant byte is at the higher address. Both the RTCCNT and
RTCMOD violate this model as observed in Table 10-2.

RTCCNT[15:0]
RTC Count — These sixteen read-only bits contain the current value of the 16-bit RTC counter. Writes have
no effect to this register. Writing to RTCMOD or writing different values to RTCLKS and RTCPS clear the
count to 0x0000.
10.7.3
RTC Modulo Registers (RTCMODH and RTCMODL)
RTCMOD[15:0], which is equal to {RTCMODH[7:0], RTCMODL[7:0]}, is the modulo value against
which the RTC counter is compared. The RTCMOD is loaded as a 16-bit value and requires that both
registers be written before the 16-bit value is updated. The RTCMODH (high byte) should be written first
and it gets latched. The RTCMODL (low byte) should then be written and causes the 2-byte value to be
written to the RTCMOD register.

Modules (KBIx)
11.1
Introduction
There are two KBI modules. One has eight keyboard interrupt inputs that share port B pins. The other KBI
module has four inputs that are shared on the four (4) port C pins. See the Pins and Connections chapter
for more information about the logic and hardware aspects of these pins.
Port B is an 8-bit port that is shared between the KBI1 keyboard interrupt inputs and general-purpose I/O.
The eight KBI1PEn control bits in the KBI1PE register allow selection of any combination of port B pins
to be assigned as KBI1 inputs. Any pins that are enabled as KBI1 inputs will be forced to act as inputs and
the remaining port B pins are available as general-purpose I/O pins controlled by the port B data (PTBD),
data direction (PTBDD) and pullup enable (PTBPE) registers. The eight PTBPEn control bits in the PTBPE
register allow the user to select whether an internal pullup device is enabled on each port B pin that is
configured as a port input or a KBI1 input.
KBI1 inputs can be configured for edge-only sensitivity or edge-and-level sensitivity. Bits 3 through 0 of
port B are falling-edge/low-level sensitive and bits 7 through 4 can be configured for rising-edge /
high-level or for falling-edge/low-level sensitivity.
Port C is an 8-bit port with its four pins shared between the KBI2 keyboard interrupt inputs and
general-purpose I/O. The four KBI2PEn control bits in the KBI2PE register allow selection of any
combination of the lower four port C pins to be assigned as KBI2 inputs. Any pins that are enabled as KBI2
inputs will be forced to act as inputs and the remaining port C pins are available as general-purpose I/O
pins controlled by the port C data (PTCD), data direction (PTCDD) and pullup enable (PTCPE) registers.
The eight PTCPEn control bits in the PTCPE register allow the user to select whether an internal pullup
device is enabled on each port C pin that is configured as a port input or a KBI2 input.
Any enabled keyboard interrupt can be used to wake the MCU from wait or standby (STOP3). Either KBI1
or KBI2 can be used to wake the MCU from wait or standby (STOP3). The KBF bits for both KBI modules
must be cleared before entering Stop3 mode, regardless of whether the interrupt is enabled.
Note that MC13237 contains only the KBI1 module. MC13234 contains both KBI1 and KBI2.
11.1.1
KBI Clock Gating
The bus clock to the KBI can be gated on and off using the KBI1/KBI2 bits in SCGC2. These bits are set
after any reset, which enables the bus clock to these modules. To conserve power, the KBI1/KBI2 bits can
be cleared to disable the clock to these modules when not in use.

Modules (KBIx)
11.1.2
Features
The KBI features include:
• KBI1 with up to eight keyboard interrupt pins with individual pin enable bits.
• KBI2 with four keyboard interrupt pins with individual pin enable bits.
• Each keyboard interrupt pin is programmable as falling edge (or rising edge) only, or both falling
edge and low level (or both rising edge and high level) interrupt sensitivity.
• Independent software enabled keyboard interrupt for both KBI1 and KBI2.
• Exit from low-power modes.
11.1.3
Modes of Operation
This section defines the KBI operation in wait, stop, and background debug modes.
11.1.3.1
KBI in Wait Mode
The KBIx continues to operate in wait mode if enabled before executing the WAIT instruction. Therefore,
an enabled KBI pin (KBPEx = 1) can be used to bring the MCU out of wait mode if the KBI interrupt is
enabled (KBIE = 1).
11.1.3.2
KBI in Stop Modes
The KBIx operates asynchronously in STOP3 mode if enabled before executing the STOP instruction.
Therefore, an enabled KBI pin (KBPEx = 1) can be used to bring the MCU out of STOP3 mode if the KBI
interrupt is enabled (KBIE = 1).
11.1.3.3
KBI in Active Background Mode
When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the KBI will continue to operate normally.

Register Definition
Each KBI includes three registers:
• An 8-bit pin status and control register.
• An 8-bit pin enable register.
• An 8-bit edge select register.
KBI2 has four ports (KBI2P0–KBI2P3). These are available only in MC13234.
Refer to the direct-page register summary in Chapter 4, “Memory,” for the absolute address assignments
for all KBI registers. This section refers to registers and control bits only by their names and relative
address offsets.
Some MCUs may have more than one KBI, so register names include placeholder characters to identify
which KBI is being referenced.

11.1.7
Functional Description
Writing to the KBIPEn bits in the keyboard x interrupt pin enable register (KBIxPE) independently enables
or disables each port pin. Each port can be configured as edge sensitive or edge and level sensitive based
on the KBIMOD bit in the keyboard interrupt status and control register (KBIxSC). Edge sensitivity can
be software programmed to be either falling or rising; the level can be either low or high. The polarity of
the edge or edge and level sensitivity is selected using the KBEDGn bits in the keyboard interrupt edge
select register (KBIxES).
Synchronous logic is used to detect edges. Prior to detecting an edge, enabled port inputs must be at the
deasserted logic level. A falling edge is detected when an enabled port input signal is seen as a logic 1 (the
deasserted level) during one bus cycle and then a logic 0 (the asserted level) during the next cycle. A rising
edge is detected when the input signal is seen as a logic 0 during one bus cycle and then a logic 1 during
the next cycle.
11.1.7.1
Edge Only Sensitivity
A valid edge on an enabled port pin will set KBF in KBIxSC. If KBIE in KBIxSC is set, an interrupt
request will be presented to the CPU. Clearing of KBF is accomplished by writing a 1 to KBACK in
KBIxSC.
11.1.7.2
Edge and Level Sensitivity
A valid edge or level on an enabled port pin will set KBF in KBIxSC. If KBIE in KBIxSC is set, an
interrupt request will be presented to the CPU. Clearing of KBF is accomplished by writing a 1 to KBACK
in KBIxSC provided all enabled port inputs are at their deasserted levels. KBF will remain set if any
enabled port pin is asserted while attempting to clear by writing a 1 to KBACK.

Modules (KBIx)
11.1.7.3
Pull-up/Pull-down Resistors
The keyboard interrupt pins can be configured to use an internal pull-up/pull-down resistor using the
associated I/O port pull-up enable register. If an internal resistor is enabled, the KBIxES register is used to
select whether the resistor is a pull-up (KBEDGn = 0) or a pull-down (KBEDGn = 1).
11.1.7.4
Keyboard Interrupt Initialization
When an interrupt pin is first enabled, it is possible to get a false interrupt flag. To prevent a false interrupt
request during pin interrupt initialization, the user should do the following:
1. Mask interrupts by clearing KBIE in KBIxSC.
2. If using internal pull-up/pull-down device, configure the associated pull enable bits in KBIxPE.
3. Enable the interrupt pins by setting the appropriate KBIPEn bits in KBIxPE.
4. Write to KBACK in KBIxSC to clear any false interrupts.
Set KBIE in KBIxSC to enable interrupts.

Analog Power (VDDA_ADC)
The ADC analog portion uses VDDA as its power connection. In some packages, VDDA is connected
internally to VDD. If externally available, connect the VDDA pin to the same voltage potential as VDD.
External filtering may be necessary to ensure clean VDDA for better results.
12.2.2
Analog Ground (VSSA_ADC)
The ADC analog portion uses VSSA as its ground connection. In some packages, VSSA is connected
internally to VSS. If externally available, connect the VSSA pin to the same voltage potential as VSS.
12.2.3
Voltage Reference High (VREFH)
VREFH is the high reference voltage for the converter. In some packages, VREFH is connected internally to
VDDA. If externally available, VREFH may be connected to the same potential as VDDA or may be driven
by an external source between the minimum VDDA spec and the VDDA potential (VREFH must never
exceed VDDA).
12.2.4
Voltage Reference Low (VREFL)
VREFL is the low-reference voltage for the converter. In some packages, VREFL is connected internally to
VSSA. If externally available, connect the VREFL pin to the same voltage potential as VSSA.
12.2.5
Analog Channel Inputs (ADx)
The ADC module supports up to 8 separate analog inputs. An input is selected for conversion through the

COCO
Conversion Complete Flag — The COCO flag is a read-only bit set each time a conversion is completed when
the compare function is disabled (ACFE = 0). When the compare function is enabled (ACFE = 1), the COCO flag
is set upon completion of a conversion only if the compare result is true. This bit is cleared when ADCSC1 is

0 One conversion following a write to the ADCSC1 when software triggered operation is selected, or one

Continuous conversions are initiated by an ADHWT event when hardware triggered operation is selected.

ADCH
Input Channel Select — The ADCH bits form a 5-bit field that selects one of the input channels. The input
channels are detailed in Table 12-3.
The successive approximation converter subsystem is turned off when the channel select bits are all set. This
feature allows for explicit disabling of the ADC and isolation of the input channel from all sources. Terminating
continuous conversions this way prevents an additional, single conversion from being performed. It is not
necessary to set the channel select bits to all ones to place the ADC in a low-power state when continuous
conversions are not enabled because the module automatically enters a low-power state when a conversion
completes.

Data Result High Register (ADCRH)
In 12-bit operation, ADCRH contains the upper four bits of 12-bit conversion data. In 10-bit operation,
ADCRH contains the upper two bits of 10-bit conversion data. In 12-bit and 10-bit mode, ADCRH is
updated each time a conversion completes except when automatic compare is enabled and the compare
condition is not met. When configured for 10-bit mode, ADR[11:10] are cleared. When configured for
8-bit mode, ADR[11:8] are cleared.
When automatic compare is not enabled, the value stored in ADCRH are the upper bits of the conversion
result. When automatic compare is enabled, the conversion result is manipulated as described in
Section 12.4.7, “Automatic Compare Function” prior to storage in ADCRH:ADCRL registers.
In 12-bit and 10-bit mode, reading ADCRH prevents the ADC from transferring subsequent conversion
data into the result registers until ADCRL is read. If ADCRL is not read until after the next conversion is
completed, the intermediate conversion data is lost. In 8-bit mode, there is no interlocking with ADCRL.
If the MODE bits are changed, any data in ADCRH becomes invalid.

ADCRL contains the lower eight bits of a 12-bit or 10-bit conversion data, and all eight bits of 8-bit

enabled and the compare condition is not met.
When automatic compare is not enabled, the value stored in ADCRL is the lower eight bits of the
conversion result. When automatic compare is enabled, the conversion result is manipulated as described
in Section 12.4.7, “Automatic Compare Function” prior to storage in ADCRH:ADCRL registers.

data into the result registers until ADCRL is read. If ADCRL is not read until the after next conversion is
completed, the intermediate conversion data is lost. In 8-bit mode, there is no interlocking with ADCRH.
If the MODE bits are changed, any data in ADCRL becomes invalid.

Functional Description
The ADC module is disabled during reset or when the ADCH bits are all high. The module is idle when a
conversion has completed and another conversion has not been initiated. When idle, the module is in its
lowest power state.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
12-10
Freescale Semiconductor
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
The ADC can perform an analog-to-digital conversion on any of the software selectable channels. In 12-bit
and 10-bit mode, the selected channel voltage is converted by a successive approximation algorithm into
a 12-bit digital result. In 8-bit mode, the selected channel voltage is converted by a successive
approximation algorithm into a 9-bit digital result.
When the conversion is completed, the result is placed in the data registers (ADCRH and ADCRL). In
10-bit mode, the result is rounded to 10 bits and placed in the data registers (ADCRH and ADCRL). In
8-bit mode, the result is rounded to 8 bits and placed in ADCRL. The conversion complete flag (COCO)
is then set and an interrupt is generated if the conversion complete interrupt has been enabled (AIEN = 1).
The ADC module has the capability of automatically comparing the result of a conversion with the
contents of its compare registers. The compare function is enabled by setting the ACFE bit and operates
with any of the conversion modes and configurations.
12.4.1
Clock Select and Divide Control
One of four clock sources can be selected as the clock source for the ADC module. This clock source is
then divided by a configurable value to generate the input clock to the converter (ADCK). The clock is
selected from one of the following sources by means of the ADICLK bits.
• The bus clock, which is equal to the frequency at which software is executed. This is the default
selection following reset.
• The bus clock divided by two. For higher bus clock rates, this allows a maximum divide by 16 of
the bus clock.
• ALTCLK, as defined for this MCU (See module section introduction).
• The asynchronous clock (ADACK). This clock is generated from a clock source within the ADC
module. When selected as the clock source, this clock remains active while the MCU is in wait or
Stop3 mode and allows conversions in these modes for lower noise operation.
Whichever clock is selected, its frequency must fall within the specified frequency range for ADCK. If the
available clocks are too slow, the ADC do not perform according to specifications. If the available clocks
are too fast, the clock must be divided to the appropriate frequency. This divider is specified by the ADIV
bits and can be divide-by 1, 2, 4, or 8.
12.4.2
Input Select and Pin Control
The pin control registers (APCTL1) disable the digital interface to I/O of the pins used as analog inputs.
When a pin control register bit is set, the following conditions are forced for the associated MCU pin:
• The output buffer is forced to its high impedance state.
• The input buffer is disabled. A read of the I/O port returns a zero for any pin with its input buffer
disabled.
• The pullup is disabled.

Freescale Semiconductor
12-11
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
12.4.3
Asynchronous and Alternate Clock
The ADC is capable of performing conversions using the MCU bus clock, the bus clock divided by two,
or the local asynchronous clock (ADACK) within the module. The alternate clock, a 32 kHz clock, can be
used for ADC conversion. It has to be enabled in SOMC1 before performing ADC conversion.
12.4.4
Software Trigger
The ADC conversion can be initiated by software trigger. To select the software trigger, ADTRG in the
ADCSC2 register must be set to 0. When software trigger is selected, writes to ADCSC1 will start a new
ADC conversion.
12.4.5
Hardware Trigger
The ADC module has a selectable asynchronous hardware conversion trigger, ADHWT, that is enabled
when the ADTRG bit is set. ADHWT is connected to PTC[6] or RTC. The selection between PTC[6] and
RTC for ADHWT is in SOPT1[ADCHT].
When the hardware trigger is enabled (ADTRG=1), a conversion is initiated on the rising edge of
ADHWT. If a conversion is in progress when a rising edge occurs, the rising edge is ignored. In continuous
convert configuration, only the initial rising edge to launch continuous conversions is observed. The
hardware trigger function operates in conjunction with any of the conversion modes and configurations.

12.4.6
Conversion Control
Conversions can be performed in 12-bit mode, 10-bit mode, or 8-bit mode as determined by the MODE
bits. Conversions can be initiated by a software or hardware trigger. In addition, the ADC module can be
configured for low power operation, long sample time, continuous conversion, and automatic compare of
the conversion result to a software determined compare value.
12.4.6.1
Initiating Conversions
A conversion is initiated:
• Following a write to ADCSC1 (with ADCH bits not all 1s) if software triggered operation is
selected.
• Following a hardware trigger (ADHWT) event if hardware triggered operation is selected.
• Following the transfer of the result to the data registers when continuous conversion is enabled.
If continuous conversions are enabled, a new conversion is automatically initiated after the completion of
the current conversion. In software triggered operation, continuous conversions begin after ADCSC1 is
written and continue until aborted. In hardware triggered operation, continuous conversions begin after a
hardware trigger event and continue until aborted.
12.4.6.2
Completing Conversions
A conversion is completed when the result of the conversion is transferred into the data result registers,
ADCRH and ADCRL. This is indicated by the setting of COCO. An interrupt is generated if AIEN is high
at the time that COCO is set.
A blocking mechanism prevents a new result from overwriting previous data in ADCRH and ADCRL if
the previous data is in the process of being read while in 12-bit or 10-bit MODE (the ADCRH register has
been read but the ADCRL register has not). When blocking is active, the data transfer is blocked, COCO
is not set, and the new result is lost. In the case of single conversions with the compare function enabled
and the compare condition false, blocking has no effect and ADC operation is terminated. In all other cases
of operation, when a data transfer is blocked, another conversion is initiated regardless of the state of
ADCO (single or continuous conversions enabled).
If single conversions are enabled, the blocking mechanism could result in several discarded conversions
and excess power consumption. To avoid this issue, the data registers must not be read after initiating a
single conversion until the conversion completes.
12.4.6.3
Aborting Conversions
Any conversion in progress is aborted when:
•
A write to ADCSC1 occurs (the current conversion will be aborted and a new conversion will be
initiated, if ADCH are not all 1s).
•
A write to ADCSC2, ADCCFG, ADCCVH, or ADCCVL occurs. This indicates a mode of
operation change has occurred and the current conversion is therefore invalid.
•
The MCU is reset.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
12-13
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
•
The MCU enters stop mode with ADACK not enabled.
When a conversion is aborted, the contents of the data registers, ADCRH and ADCRL, are not altered.
However, they continue to be the values transferred after the completion of the last successful conversion.
If the conversion was aborted by a reset, ADCRH and ADCRL return to their reset states.
12.4.6.4
Power Control
The ADC module remains in its idle state until a conversion is initiated. If ADACK is selected as the
conversion clock source, the ADACK clock generator is also enabled.
Power consumption when active can be reduced by setting ADLPC. This results in a lower maximum
value for fADCK.
12.4.6.5
Sample Time and Total Conversion Time
The total conversion time depends on the sample time (as determined by ADLSMP), the MCU bus
frequency, the conversion mode (8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit), and the frequency of the conversion clock (fADCK).
After the module becomes active, sampling of the input begins. ADLSMP selects between short and long
sample times.When sampling is complete, the converter is isolated from the input channel and a successive
approximation algorithm is performed to determine the digital value of the analog signal. The result of the
conversion is transferred to ADCRH and ADCRL upon completion of the conversion algorithm.
If the bus frequency is less than the fADCK frequency, precise sample time for continuous conversions
cannot be guaranteed when short sample is enabled (ADLSMP=0). If the bus frequency is less than 1/11th
of the fADCK frequency, precise sample time for continuous conversions cannot be guaranteed when long
sample is enabled (ADLSMP=1).
The maximum total conversion time for different conditions is summarized in Table 12-11.

The maximum total conversion time is determined by the clock source chosen and the divide ratio selected.
The clock source is selectable by the ADICLK bits, and the divide ratio is specified by the ADIV bits. For
example, in 10-bit mode, with the bus clock selected as the input clock source, the input clock divide-by-1
ratio selected, and a bus frequency of 8 MHz, then the conversion time for a single conversion is:
Conversion time =
23 ADCK Cyc
8 MHz/1
+
5 bus Cyc
8 MHz
= 3.5 s
Number of bus cycles = 3.5 s x 8 MHz = 28 cycles
NOTE
The ADCK frequency must be between fADCK minimum and fADCK
maximum to meet ADC specifications.
12.4.7
Automatic Compare Function
The compare function is enabled by the ACFE bit. The compare function can be configured to check for
an upper or lower limit. After the input is sampled and converted, the compare value (ADCCVH and
ADCCVL) is subtracted from the conversion result.When comparing to an upper limit (ACFGT = 1), if
the conversion result is greater-than or equal-to the compare value, COCO is set. When comparing to a
lower limit (ACFGT = 0), if the result is less than the compare value, COCO is set. An ADC interrupt is
generated upon the setting of COCO if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).
The subtract operation of two positive values (the conversion result less the compare value) results in a
signed value that is 1-bit wider than the bit-width of the two terms. The final value transferred to the
ADCRH and ADCRL registers is the result of the subtraction operation, excluding the sign bit. The value
of the sign bit can be derived based on ACFGT control setting. When ACFGT=1, the sign bit of any value
stored in ADCRH and ADCRL is always 0, indicating a positive result for the subtract operation. When
ACFGT = 1, the sign bit of any result is always 1, indicating a negative result for the subtract operation.
Upon completion of a conversion while the compare function is enabled, if the compare condition is not
true, COCO is not set and no data is transferred to the result registers.
NOTE
The compare function can monitor the voltage on a channel while the MCU
is in Wait or Stop3 mode. The ADC interrupt wakes the MCU when the
compare condition is met.
An example of compare operation eases understanding of the compare feature. If the ADC is configured
for 10-bit operation, ACFGT=0, and ADCCVH:ADCCVL= 0x200, then a conversion result of 0x080
causes the compare condition to be met and the COCO bit is set. A value of 0x280 is stored in
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
12-15
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
ADCRH:ADCRL. This is signed data without the sign bit and must be combined with a derived sign bit
to have meaning. The value stored in ADCRH:ADCRL is calculated as follows.
The value to interpret from the data is (Result – Compare Value) = (0x080 – 0x200) = –0x180. A standard
method for handling subtraction is to convert the second term to its 2’s complement, and then add the two
terms. First calculate the 2’s complement of 0x200 by complementing each bit and adding 1. Note that
prior to complementing, a sign bit of 0 is added so that the 10-bit compare value becomes a 11-bit signed
value that is always positive.
%101 1111 1111
+
<= 1’s complement of 0x200 compare value
%1
--------------%110 0000 0000
<= 2’s complement of 0x200 compare value
Then the conversion result of 0x080 is added to 2’s complement of 0x200:
%000 1000 0000
+
%110 0000 0000
--------------%110 1000 0000
<= Subtraction result is –0x180 in signed 11-bit data
The subtraction result is an 11-bit signed value. The lower 10 bits (0x280) are stored in ADCRH:ADCRL.
The sign bit is known to be 1 (negative) because the ACFGT=0, the COCO bit was set, and conversion
data was updated in ADCRH:ADCRL.
A simpler way to use the data stored in ADCRH:ADCRL is to apply the following rules. When comparing
for upper limit (ACFGT=1), the value in ADCRH:ADCRL is a positive value and does not need to be
manipulated. This value is the difference between the conversion result and the compare value. When
comparing for lower limit (ACFGT=0), ADCRH:ADCRL is a negative value without the sign bit. If the
value from these registers is complemented and then a value of 1 is added, then the calculated value is the
unsigned (i.e., absolute) difference between the conversion result and the compare value. In the previous
example, 0x280 is stored in ADCRH:ADCRL. The following example shows how the absolute value of
the difference is calculated.
%01 0111 1111
+
<= Complement of 10-bit value stored in ADCRH:ADCRL
%1
--------------%01 1000 0000<= Unsigned value 0x180 is the absolute value of (Result - Compare Value)
12.4.8
Temperature Sensor
The ADC module includes a temperature sensor whose output is connected to one of the ADC analog
channel inputs. Equation 12-1 provides an approximate transfer function of the temperature sensor.
Temp = 25 - ((VTEMP -VTEMP25)  m)
Eqn. 12-1
where:
— VTEMP is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at the ambient temperature.
— VTEMP25 is the voltage of the temperature sensor channel at 25C.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
12-16
Freescale Semiconductor
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
— m is the hot or cold voltage versus temperature slope in V/C.
For temperature calculations, use the VTEMP25 and m values from the ADC Electricals table.
In application code, the user reads the temperature sensor channel, calculates VTEMP, and compares to
VTEMP25 . If VTEMP is greater than VTEMP25 the cold slope value is applied in Equation 12-1. If VTEMP is
less than VTEMP25 the hot slope value is applied in Equation 12-1.
12.4.9
MCU Wait Mode Operation
Wait mode is a lower power-consumption standby mode from which recovery is fast because the clock
sources remain active. If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters wait mode, it continues until
completion. Conversions can be initiated while the MCU is in wait mode by means of the hardware trigger
or if continuous conversions are enabled.
The bus clock, bus clock divided by two, asynchronous clock, and alternate clock are available as
conversion clock sources while in Wait mode.
A conversion complete event sets the COCO and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from wait
mode if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).
12.4.10 MCU Stop3 Mode Operation
Stop3 mode is a low power-consumption standby mode during which most or all clock sources on the
MCU are disabled.
12.4.10.1 Stop3 Mode With ADACK Disabled
If the asynchronous clock, ADACK, is not selected as the conversion clock, executing a stop instruction
aborts the current conversion and places the ADC in its idle state. The contents of ADCRH and ADCRL
are unaffected by Stop3 mode. After exiting from Stop3 mode, a software or hardware trigger is required
to resume conversions.
12.4.10.2 Stop3 Mode With ADACK Enabled
If ADACK is selected as the conversion clock, the ADC continues operation during Stop3 mode. For
guaranteed ADC operation, the MCU’s voltage regulator must remain active during Stop3 mode. Consult
the module introduction for configuration information for this MCU.
If a conversion is in progress when the MCU enters Stop3 mode, it continues until completion.
Conversions can be initiated while the MCU is in Stop3 mode by means of the hardware trigger or if
continuous conversions are enabled.
A conversion complete event sets the COCO and generates an ADC interrupt to wake the MCU from Stop3
mode if the ADC interrupt is enabled (AIEN = 1).

NOTE
The ADC module can wake the system from low-power stop and cause the
MCU to begin consuming run-level currents without generating a system
level interrupt. To prevent this scenario, software should ensure the data
transfer blocking mechanism (discussed in Section 12.4.6.2, “Completing
Conversions) is cleared when entering Stop3 and continuing ADC
conversions.

Initialization Information
This section gives an example that provides some basic direction on how to initialize and configure the
ADC module. You can configure the module for 8-, 10-, or 12-bit resolution, single or continuous
conversion, and a polled or interrupt approach, among many other options. Refer to Table 12-6,
Table 12-7, and Table 12-8 for information used in this example.

Hexadecimal values designated by a preceding 0x, binary values designated
by a preceding %, and decimal values have no preceding character.
12.5.1
ADC Module Initialization Example
12.5.1.1
Initialization Sequence
Before the ADC module can be used to complete conversions, an initialization procedure must be
performed. A typical sequence is as follows:
1. Update the configuration register (ADCCFG) to select the input clock source and the divide ratio
used to generate the internal clock, ADCK. This register is also used for selecting sample time and
low-power configuration.
2. Update status and control register 2 (ADCSC2) to select the conversion trigger (hardware or
software) and compare function options, if enabled.
3. Update status and control register 1 (ADCSC1) to select whether conversions will be continuous
or completed only once, and to enable or disable conversion complete interrupts. The input channel
on which conversions will be performed is also selected here.
12.5.1.2

Application Information
This section contains information for using the ADC module in applications. The ADC has been designed
to be integrated into a microcontroller for use in embedded control applications requiring an A/D
converter.
12.6.1
External Pins and Routing
The following sections discuss the external pins associated with the ADC module and how they should be
used for best results.
12.6.1.1
Analog Supply Pins
The ADC module has analog power and ground supplies (VDDA_ADC and VSSA_ADC) available as separate
pins on some devices. VSSA_ADC is shared on the same pin as the MCU digital VSS on some devices. On
other devices, VSSA_ADC and VDDA_ADC are shared with the MCU digital supply pins. In these cases,
there are separate pads for the analog supplies bonded to the same pin as the corresponding digital supply
so that some degree of isolation between the supplies is maintained.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
12-20
Freescale Semiconductor
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
When available on a separate pin, both VDDA_ADC and VSSA_ADC must be connected to the same voltage
potential as their corresponding MCU digital supply (VDD and VSS) and must be routed carefully for
maximum noise immunity and bypass capacitors placed as near as possible to the package.
If separate power supplies are used for analog and digital power, the ground connection between these
supplies must be at the VSSA_ADC pin. This should be the only ground connection between these supplies
if possible. The VSSA_ADC pin makes a good single point ground location.
12.6.1.2
Analog Reference Pins
In addition to the analog supplies, the ADC module has connections for two reference voltage inputs. The
high reference is VREFH, which may be shared on the same pin as VDDA_ADC on some devices. The low
reference is VREFL, which may be shared on the same pin as VSSA_ADC on some devices.
When available on a separate pin, VREFH may be connected to the same potential as VDDA_ADC, or may
be driven by an external source between the minimum VDDA_ADC spec and the VDDA_ADC potential
(VREFH must never exceed VDDA_ADC). When available on a separate pin, VREFL must be connected to
the same voltage potential as VSSA_ADC. VREFH and VREFL must be routed carefully for maximum noise
immunity and bypass capacitors placed as near as possible to the package.
AC current in the form of current spikes required to supply charge to the capacitor array at each successive
approximation step is drawn through the VREFH and VREFL loop. The best external component to meet this
current demand is a 0.1 F capacitor with good high frequency characteristics. This capacitor is connected
between VREFH and VREFL and must be placed as near as possible to the package pins. Resistance in the
path is not recommended because the current causes a voltage drop that could result in conversion errors.
Inductance in this path must be minimum (parasitic only).
12.6.1.3
Analog Input Pins
The external analog inputs are typically shared with digital I/O pins on MCU devices. The pin I/O control
is disabled by setting the appropriate control bit in one of the pin control registers. Conversions can be
performed on inputs without the associated pin control register bit set. It is recommended that the pin
control register bit always be set when using a pin as an analog input. This avoids problems with contention
because the output buffer is in its high impedance state and the pullup is disabled. Also, the input buffer
draws DC current when its input is not at VDD or VSS. Setting the pin control register bits for all pins used
as analog inputs should be done to achieve lowest operating current.
Empirical data shows that capacitors on the analog inputs improve performance in the presence of noise
or when the source impedance is high. Use of 0.01 F capacitors with good high-frequency characteristics
is sufficient. These capacitors are not necessary in all cases, but when used they must be placed as near as
possible to the package pins and be referenced to VSSA_ADC.
For proper conversion, the input voltage must fall between VREFH and VREFL. If the input is equal to or
exceeds VREFH, the converter circuit converts the signal to 0xFFF (full scale 12-bit representation), 0x3FF
(full scale 10-bit representation) or 0xFF (full scale 8-bit representation). If the input is equal to or less
than VREFL, the converter circuit converts it to 0x000. Input voltages between VREFH and VREFL are
straight-line linear conversions. There is a brief current associated with VREFL when the sampling

Freescale Semiconductor
12-21
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
capacitor is charging. The input is sampled for 3.5 cycles of the ADCK source when ADLSMP is low, or
23.5 cycles when ADLSMP is high.
For minimal loss of accuracy due to current injection, pins adjacent to the analog input pins should not be
transitioning during conversions.
12.6.2
Sources of Error
Several sources of error exist for A/D conversions. These are discussed in the following sections.
12.6.2.1
Sampling Error
For proper conversions, the input must be sampled long enough to achieve the proper accuracy. Given the
maximum input resistance of approximately 7k and input capacitance of approximately 5.5 pF, sampling
to within 1/4LSB (at 12-bit resolution) can be achieved within the minimum sample window (3.5 cycles @
8 MHz maximum ADCK frequency) provided the resistance of the external analog source (RAS) is kept
below 2 k.
Higher source resistances or higher-accuracy sampling is possible by setting ADLSMP (to increase the
sample window to 23.5 cycles) or decreasing ADCK frequency to increase sample time.
12.6.2.2
Pin Leakage Error
Leakage on the I/O pins can cause conversion error if the external analog source resistance (RAS) is high.
If this error cannot be tolerated by the application, keep RAS lower than VDDA_ADC / (2N*ILEAK) for less
than 1/4LSB leakage error (N = 8 in 8-bit, 10 in 10-bit or 12 in 12-bit mode).
12.6.2.3
Noise-Induced Errors
System noise that occurs during the sample or conversion process can affect the accuracy of the
conversion. The ADC accuracy numbers are guaranteed as specified only if the following conditions are
met:
• There is a 0.1 F low-ESR capacitor from VREFH to VREFL.
• There is a 0.1 F low-ESR capacitor from VDDA to VSSA.
• If inductive isolation is used from the primary supply, an additional 1 F capacitor is placed from
VDDA_ADC to VSSA_ADC.
• VSSA_ADC (and VREFL, if connected) is connected to VSS at a quiet point in the ground plane.
• Operate the MCU in wait or Stop3 mode before initiating (hardware triggered conversions) or
immediately after initiating (hardware or software triggered conversions) the ADC conversion.
— For software triggered conversions, immediately follow the write to ADCSC1 with a wait
instruction or stop instruction.
— For Stop3 mode operation, select ADACK as the clock source. Operation in Stop3 reduces VDD
noise but increases effective conversion time due to stop recovery.
• There is no I/O switching, input or output, on the MCU during the conversion.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
12-22
Freescale Semiconductor
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
There are some situations where external system activity causes radiated or conducted noise emissions or
excessive VDD noise is coupled into the ADC. In these situations, or when the MCU cannot be placed in
Wait or Stop3 or I/O activity cannot be halted, these recommended actions may reduce the effect of noise
on the accuracy:
• Place a 0.01 F capacitor (CAS) on the selected input channel to VREFL or VSSA_ADC (this
improves noise issues, but affects the sample rate based on the external analog source resistance).
• Average the result by converting the analog input many times in succession and dividing the sum
of the results. Four samples are required to eliminate the effect of a 1LSB, one-time error.
• Reduce the effect of synchronous noise by operating off the asynchronous clock (ADACK) and
averaging. Noise that is synchronous to ADCK cannot be averaged out.
12.6.2.4
Code Width and Quantization Error
The ADC quantizes the ideal straight-line transfer function into 4096 steps (in 12-bit mode). Each step
ideally has the same height (1 code) and width. The width is defined as the delta between the transition
points to one code and the next. The ideal code width for an N bit converter (in this case N can be 8, 10 or
12), defined as 1LSB, is:
1 lsb = (VREFH - VREFL) / 2N
Eqn. 12-2
There is an inherent quantization error due to the digitization of the result. For 8-bit or 10-bit conversions
the code transitions when the voltage is at the midpoint between the points where the straight line transfer
function is exactly represented by the actual transfer function. Therefore, the quantization error will be 
1/2 lsb in 8- or 10-bit mode. As a consequence, however, the code width of the first (0x000) conversion is
only 1/2 lsb and the code width of the last (0xFF or 0x3FF) is 1.5 lsb.
For 12-bit conversions the code transitions only after the full code width is present, so the quantization
error is 1 lsb to 0 lsb and the code width of each step is 1 lsb.
12.6.2.5
Linearity Errors
The ADC may also exhibit non-linearity of several forms. Every effort has been made to reduce these
errors but the system should be aware of them because they affect overall accuracy. These errors are:
• Zero-scale error (EZS) (sometimes called offset) — This error is defined as the difference between
the actual code width of the first conversion and the ideal code width (1/2 lsb in 8-bit or 10-bit
modes and 1 lsb in 12-bit mode). If the first conversion is 0x001, the difference between the actual
0x001 code width and its ideal (1 lsb) is used.
• Full-scale error (EFS) — This error is defined as the difference between the actual code width of
the last conversion and the ideal code width (1.5 lsb in 8-bit or 10-bit modes and 1LSB in 12-bit
mode). If the last conversion is 0x3FE, the difference between the actual 0x3FE code width and its
ideal (1LSB) is used.
• Differential non-linearity (DNL) — This error is defined as the worst-case difference between the
actual code width and the ideal code width for all conversions.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
12-23
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
•
•
Integral non-linearity (INL) — This error is defined as the highest-value the (absolute value of the)
running sum of DNL achieves. More simply, this is the worst-case difference of the actual
transition voltage to a given code and its corresponding ideal transition voltage, for all codes.
Total unadjusted error (TUE) — This error is defined as the difference between the actual transfer
function and the ideal straight-line transfer function and includes all forms of error.
12.6.2.6
Code Jitter, Non-Monotonicity, and Missing Codes
Analog-to-digital converters are susceptible to three special forms of error. These are code jitter,
non-monotonicity, and missing codes.
Code jitter is when, at certain points, a given input voltage converts to one of two values when sampled
repeatedly. Ideally, when the input voltage is infinitesimally smaller than the transition voltage, the
converter yields the lower code (and vice-versa). However, even small amounts of system noise can cause
the converter to be indeterminate (between two codes) for a range of input voltages around the transition
voltage. This range is normally around ±1/2 lsb in 8-bit or 10-bit mode, or around 2 lsb in 12-bit mode,
and increases with noise.
This error may be reduced by repeatedly sampling the input and averaging the result. Additionally the
techniques discussed in Section 12.6.2.3 reduces this error.
Non-monotonicity is defined as when, except for code jitter, the converter converts to a lower code for a
higher input voltage. Missing codes are those values never converted for any input value.
In 8-bit or 10-bit mode, the ADC is guaranteed to be monotonic and have no missing codes.

IIC Frequency Divider Register (IIC1F)
IIC1F register controls generation of the IIC bus baud clock and bus timing. The IIC module clock is
driven from the bus clock (always 1/2 CPU clock) which is typically 16 MHz for the MC13234/MC13237.
As may be required for variable bus loading, it is possible to “tune” the bus hold times. The register
contains two fields used for varying the bus baud rate and hold timing:
1. IIC Multiplier Factor (MULT[1:0]) - this 2-bit field selects a “Mul” multiplication factor as shown
in Table 13-3.

2. IIC Clock Rate (ICR[5:0]) - this 6-bit field programs and selects four hardware factors (see
Table 13-6) that along with the MUL factor determine IIC baud rate and bus hold times. These
factors are:
— SCL_Divider - multiplied by multiplier factor Mul, is used to generate IIC baud rate:
IIC baud rate = bus speed (Hz) / (Mul * SCL_Divider)
Eqn. 13-1
— SDA_Hold_Value - SDA hold time is the delay from the falling edge of SDA (IIC data) to the
changing of SDA (IIC data) and is calculated as follows:
SDA hold time = bus period (s) * (Mul * SDA_Hold_Value)
Eqn. 13-2
— SCL_Start_Hold_Value - SCL Start hold time is the delay from the falling edge of SDA (IIC
data) while SCL is high (Start condition) to the falling edge of SCL (IIC clock) and is calculated
as follows:
SCL Start hold time = bus period (s) * (Mul * SCL_Start_Hold_Value)
Eqn. 13-3
— SCL_Stop_Hold_Value - SCL Stop hold time is the delay from the rising edge of SCL (IIC
clock) to the rising edge of SDA (IIC data) while SCL is high (Stop condition) and is calculated
as follows:
SCL Stop hold time = bus period (s) * (Mul * SCL_Stop_Hold_Value)
Eqn. 13-4
Table 13-4 shows the possible hold time values with different ICR and MULT selections to achieve an IIC
baud rate of 100 kbps using a 16 MHz bus clock.

DATA[7:0]
Data — In master transmit mode, when data is written to the IIC1D, a data transfer is initiated. The most
significant bit is sent first. In master receive mode, reading this register initiates receiving of the next byte of data.
NOTE
When transitioning out of master receive mode, the IIC mode should be
switched before reading the IIC1D register to prevent an in-advertent
initiation of a master receive data transfer.
In slave mode, the same functions are available after an address match has occurred.
Note that the TX bit in IIC1C must correctly reflect the desired direction of transfer in master and slave
modes for the transmission to begin. For instance, if the IIC is configured for master transmit but a master
receive is desired, then reading the IIC1D will not initiate the receive.
Reading the IIC1D will return the last byte received while the IIC is configured in either master receive or
slave receive modes. The IIC1D does not reflect every byte that is transmitted on the IIC bus, nor can
software verify that a byte has been written to the IIC1D correctly by reading it back.

Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the IIC module.
13.4.1
IIC Protocol
The IIC bus system uses a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) for data transfer. All devices
connected to it must have open drain or open collector outputs. A logic AND function is exercised on both
lines with external pullup resistors. The value of these resistors is system dependent.
Normally, a standard communication is composed of four parts:
• START signal
• Slave address transmission
• Data transfer
• STOP signal

13.4.1.1
START Signal
When the bus is free; i.e., no master device is engaging the bus (both SCL and SDA lines are at logic high),
a master may initiate communication by sending a START signal. As shown in Figure 13-8, a START
signal is defined as a high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high. This signal denotes the beginning
of a new data transfer (each data transfer may contain several bytes of data) and brings all slaves out of
their idle states.
13.4.1.2
Slave Address Transmission
The first byte of data transferred immediately after the START signal is the slave address transmitted by
the master. This is a seven-bit calling address followed by a R/W bit. The R/W bit tells the slave the desired
direction of data transfer.
1 = Read transfer, the slave transmits data to the master.
0 = Write transfer, the master transmits data to the slave.
Only the slave with a calling address that matches the one transmitted by the master will respond by
sending back an acknowledge bit. This is done by pulling the SDA low at the 9th clock (see Figure 13-8).
No two slaves in the system may have the same address. If the IIC module is the master, it must not
transmit an address that is equal to its own slave address. The IIC cannot be master and slave at the same
time. However, if arbitration is lost during an address cycle, the IIC will revert to slave mode and operate
correctly even if it is being addressed by another master.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
13-11
Inter-integrate Circuit (IIC)
13.4.1.3
Data Transfer
Before successful slave addressing is achieved, the data transfer can proceed byte-by-byte in a direction
specified by the R/W bit sent by the calling master.
All transfers that come after an address cycle are referred to as data transfers, even if they carry sub-address
information for the slave device.
Each data byte is 8 bits long. Data may be changed only while SCL is low and must be held stable while
SCL is high as shown in Figure 13-8. There is one clock pulse on SCL for each data bit, the MSB being
transferred first. Each data byte is followed by a 9th (acknowledge) bit, which is signalled from the
receiving device. An acknowledge is signalled by pulling the SDA low at the ninth clock. In summary, one
complete data transfer needs nine clock pulses.
If the slave receiver does not acknowledge the master in the 9th bit time, the SDA line must be left high
by the slave. The master interprets the failed acknowledge as an unsuccessful data transfer.
If the master receiver does not acknowledge the slave transmitter after a data byte transmission, the slave
interprets this as an end of data transfer and releases the SDA line.
In either case, the data transfer is aborted and the master does one of two things:
• Relinquishes the bus by generating a STOP signal.
• Commences a new calling by generating a repeated START signal.
13.4.1.4
STOP Signal
The master can terminate the communication by generating a STOP signal to free the bus. However, the
master may generate a START signal followed by a calling command without generating a STOP signal
first. This is called repeated START. A STOP signal is defined as a low-to-high transition of SDA while
SCL at logic 1 (see Figure 13-8).
The master can generate a STOP even if the slave has generated an acknowledge at which point the slave
must release the bus.
13.4.1.5
Repeated START Signal
As shown in Figure 13-8, a repeated START signal is a START signal generated without first generating
a STOP signal to terminate the communication. This is used by the master to communicate with another
slave or with the same slave in different mode (transmit/receive mode) without releasing the bus.
13.4.1.6
Arbitration Procedure
The IIC bus is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two or
more masters try to control the bus at the same time, a clock synchronization procedure determines the bus
clock, for which the low period is equal to the longest clock low period and the high is equal to the shortest
one among the masters. The relative priority of the contending masters is determined by a data arbitration
procedure, a bus master loses arbitration if it transmits logic 1 while another master transmits logic 0. The
losing masters immediately switch over to slave receive mode and stop driving SDA output. In this case,
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
13-12
Freescale Semiconductor
Inter-integrate Circuit (IIC)
the transition from master to slave mode does not generate a STOP condition. Meanwhile, a status bit is
set by hardware to indicate loss of arbitration.
13.4.1.7
Clock Synchronization
Because wire-AND logic is performed on the SCL line, a high-to-low transition on the SCL line affects all
the devices connected on the bus. The devices start counting their low period and after a device’s clock has
gone low, it holds the SCL line low until the clock high state is reached. However, the change of low to
high in this device clock may not change the state of the SCL line if another device clock is still within its
low period. Therefore, synchronized clock SCL is held low by the device with the longest low period.
Devices with shorter low periods enter a high wait state during this time (see Figure 13-9). When all
devices concerned have counted off their low period, the synchronized clock SCL line is released and
pulled high. There is then no difference between the device clocks and the state of the SCL line and all the
devices start counting their high periods. The first device to complete its high period pulls the SCL line
low again.

Figure 13-9. IIC Clock Synchronization
13.4.1.8
Handshaking
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used as a handshake in data transfer. Slave devices may hold
the SCL low after completion of one byte transfer (9 bits). In such case, it halts the bus clock and forces
the master clock into wait states until the slave releases the SCL line.
13.4.1.9
Clock Stretching
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used by slaves to slow down the bit rate of a transfer. After
the master has driven SCL low the slave can drive SCL low for the required period and then release it. If
the slave SCL low period is greater than the master SCL low period then the resulting SCL bus signal low
period is stretched.

13.4.2
10-bit Address
For 10-bit addressing, 0x11110 is used for the first 5 bits of the first address byte. Various combinations of
read/write formats are possible within a transfer that includes 10-bit addressing.
13.4.2.1
Master-Transmitter Addresses a Slave-Receiver
The transfer direction is not changed (see Table 13-11). When a 10-bit address follows a START condition,
each slave compares the first seven bits of the first byte of the slave address (11110XX) with its own
address and tests whether the eighth bit (R/W direction bit) is 0. It is possible that more than one device
will find a match and generate an acknowledge (A1). Each slave that finds a match will compare the eight
bits of the second byte of the slave address with its own address, but only one slave will find a match and
generate an acknowledge (A2). The matching slave will remain addressed by the master until it receives a
STOP condition (P) or a repeated START condition (Sr) followed by a different slave address.

After the master-transmitter has sent the first byte of the 10-bit address, the slave-receiver will see an IIC
interrupt. User software must ensure that for this interrupt, the contents of IICD are ignored and not treated
as valid data.
13.4.2.2
Master-Receiver Addresses a Slave-Transmitter
The transfer direction is changed after the second R/W bit (see Table 13-12). Up to and including
acknowledge bit A2, the procedure is the same as that described for a master-transmitter addressing a
slave-receiver. After the repeated START condition (Sr), a matching slave remembers that it was addressed
before. This slave then checks whether the first seven bits of the first byte of the slave address following
Sr are the same as they were after the START condition (S), and tests whether the eighth (R/W) bit is 1. If
there is a match, the slave considers that it has been addressed as a transmitter and generates acknowledge
A3. The slave-transmitter remains addressed until it receives a STOP condition (P) or a repeated START
condition (Sr) followed by a different slave address.
After a repeated START condition (Sr), all other slave devices will also compare the first seven bits of the
first byte of the slave address with their own addresses and test the eighth (R/W) bit. However, none of
them will be addressed because R/W = 1 (for 10-bit devices), or the 11110XX slave address (for 7-bit
devices) does not match.

After the master-receiver has sent the first byte of the 10-bit address, the slave-transmitter will see an IIC

13.4.3
General Call Address
General calls can be requested in 7-bit address or 10-bit address. If the GCAEN bit is set, the IIC matches
the general call address as well as its own slave address. When the IIC responds to a general call, it acts as
a slave-receiver and the IAAS bit is set after the address cycle. Software must read the IICD register after
the first byte transfer to determine whether the address matches is its own slave address or a general call.
If the value is “00”, the match is a general call. If the GCAEN bit is clear, the IIC ignores any data supplied
from a general call address by not issuing an acknowledgement.
13.4.4
Resets
The IIC is disabled after reset. The IIC cannot cause an MCU reset.
13.4.5
Interrupts
The IIC generates a single interrupt request. The IIC has Interrupt Vector No. 24.
An interrupt from the IIC is generated when any of the events in Table 13-13 occur, provided the IICIE bit
is set. The interrupt is driven by bit IICIF (of the IIC status register) and masked with bit IICIE (of the IIC
control register). The IICIF bit must be cleared by software by writing a 1 to it in the interrupt routine. The
user can determine the interrupt type by reading the status register.

Inter-integrate Circuit (IIC)
13.4.5.3
Arbitration Lost Interrupt
The IIC is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two or more
masters try to control the bus at the same time, the relative priority of the contending masters is determined
by a data arbitration procedure. The IIC module asserts this interrupt when it loses the data arbitration
process and the ARBL bit in the status register is set.
Arbitration is lost in the following circumstances:
• SDA sampled as a low when the master drives a high during an address or data transmit cycle.
• SDA sampled as a low when the master drives a high during the acknowledge bit of a data receive
cycle.
• A START cycle is attempted when the bus is busy.
• A repeated START cycle is requested in slave mode.
• A STOP condition is detected when the master did not request it.
This bit must be cleared by software by writing a 1 to it.
13.5
Modes of operation
The IIC is affected by the device mode of operation and the module clock can be disabled:
• For lower power, the IIC module clock can be disabled via the IIC control bit of the SCGC1
Register
• LPRun - the reference oscillator is divided by 64 and all clocks are scaled by this factor. It is
recommended to disable the IIC during this mode as all frequencies and timing changes
accordingly.
• Wait modes - there are two wait modes
— Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs at normal speed .
The IIC, if enabled, will continue to operate normally until an interrupt is required. However,
there will be no new codes or changes of operation while in wait mode, because the CPU is not
operating.
— LP Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs but at a reduced
speed. The IIC, if enabled, will continue to operate, however, all timing would be incorrect.
Operation is not recommended.
• The TPM is disabled in Stop3 mode, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP
instruction.
— During Stop3 mode, clocks to the IIC module are halted. No registers are affected. If Stop3 is
exited with a reset, the IIC will be put into its reset state. If Stop3 is exited with an interrupt,
the IIC will resume operation. It is recommended that the IIC be halted before entering Stop3.
• Background Mode Operation -When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the IIC
temporarily suspends until the microcontroller returns to normal user mode.

Functional Description
The SCI has three basic blocks consisting of the baud rate generator, the transmitter, and the receiver.
14.5.1
Baud Rate Generator
As shown in Figure 14-1, the baud rate generator is driven from the Bus Clock and generates a 1 x baud
clock and a 16 x baud clock. The 16 x baud clock is derived from a 13-bit modulus counter and a 5-bit
fractional fine-adjust counter. The 13-bit counter determines the primary integer clock divisor, and it is
programmed via the SBR[12:0] field of the SCI1BDH and SCI1BDL Registers (see Section 14.6.1, “SCI
Baud Rate Registers (SCI1BDH, SCI1BDL)”). Valid divisor values are from 1 to 8191; a value of zero
disables the counter.
The fractional fine-adjust counter adds fractional delays to the baud rate clock to allow a much higher
accuracy baud rate clock than can be derived from a simple prescaler. The 5-bit fractional counter is driven
from the 16 x baud clock and causes the primary counter to increase the divide divisor by one on a periodic
basis as determined by its programming. The BRFA[4:0] field of the SCI1C4 Register (see Section 14.6.8,
“SCI Control Register 4 (SCI1C4)”) allows selection of 32 different fractional divisors that increase the
integer divisor by the amount shown in Table 14-2.
The 16 x baud rate clock is used by the receiver to sample (at a 16x rate) and synchronize the incoming
RX data. The 1 x baud rate clock is used the the transmitter to send TX data at the selected baud rate.
The equation for determining the baud rate is:
SCI baud rate = Bus Clock / (16 * (SBR[12:0]dec + BRFDdec))
Eqn. 14-1
As an example, the typical bus clock for the MC13234/MC13237 is 16 MHz and a standard rate is 115,200
baud. For this case, the integer is first determined assuming no fractional divide:
SBR[12:0]dec = 16 MHz / (115,200 * 16) = 8.68 = 8 (integer)
If no fractional value is added, the actual baud rate is:
Baud rate = 16 MHz / (16 * 8) = 125,000
which gives an error of +8.5% which is undesirable. The closest BRFD value is 0.6875 (BRFA[4:0] =
22dec) and if the fractional option is added:
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
14-4
Freescale Semiconductor
Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
Baud rate = 16 MHz / (16 * 8.6875) = 115,108
The final error is -0.08% which is very good.

adjustment.

Transmitter Functional Description
This section describes the overall block diagram for the SCI transmitter, as well as specialized functions
for sending break and idle characters. The transmitter block diagram is shown in Figure 14-2.
The transmitter output (TxD) idle state defaults to logic high (TXINV = 0 following reset). The transmitter
output is inverted by setting TXINV = 1. The transmitter is enabled by setting the TE bit in SCI1C2. This
queues a preamble character that is one full character frame of the idle state. The transmitter then remains
idle until data is available in the transmit data buffer. Programs store data into the transmit data buffer by
writing to the SCI data register (SCIxD).
The central element of the SCI transmitter is the transmit shift register that is either 10 or 11 bits long
depending on the setting in the M control bit. For the remainder of this section, assume M = 0, selecting
the normal 8-bit data mode. In 8-bit data mode, the shift register holds a start bit, eight data bits, and a stop

bit. When the transmit shift register is available for a new SCI character, the value waiting in the transmit
data register is transferred to the shift register (synchronized with the baud rate clock) and the transmit data
register empty (TDRE) status flag is set to indicate another character may be written to the transmit data
buffer at SCIxD.
If no new character is waiting in the transmit data buffer after a stop bit is shifted out the TxD pin, the
transmitter sets the transmit complete flag and enters an idle mode, with TxD high, waiting for more
characters to transmit.
Writing 0 to TE does not immediately release the pin to be a general-purpose I/O pin. Any transmit activity
that is in progress must first be completed. This includes data characters in progress, queued idle
characters, and queued break characters.
14.5.2.1
Send Break and Queued Idle
The SBK control bit in SCIxC2 is used to send break characters which were originally used to gain the
attention of old teletype receivers. Break characters are a full character time of logic 0 (10 bit times
including the start and stop bits). A longer break of 13 bit times can be enabled by setting BRK13 = 1.
Normally, a program would wait for TDRE to become set to indicate the last character of a message has
moved to the transmit shifter, then write 1 and then write 0 to the SBK bit. This action queues a break
character to be sent as soon as the shifter is available. If SBK is still 1 when the queued break moves into
the shifter (synchronized to the baud rate clock), an additional break character is queued. If the receiving
device is another Freescale Semiconductor SCI, the break characters will be received as 0s in all eight data
bits and a framing error (FE = 1) occurs.
When idle-line wake up is used, a full character time of idle (logic 1) is needed between messages to wake
up any sleeping receivers. Normally, a program would wait for TDRE to become set to indicate the last
character of a message has moved to the transmit shifter, then write 0 and then write 1 to the TE bit. This
action queues an idle character to be sent as soon as the shifter is available. As long as the character in the
shifter does not finish while TE = 0, the SCI transmitter never actually releases control of the TxD pin. If
there is a possibility of the shifter finishing while TE = 0, set the general-purpose I/O controls so the pin
that is shared with TxD is an output driving a logic 1. This ensures that the TxD line will look like a normal
idle line even if the SCI loses control of the port pin between writing 0 and then 1 to TE.
The length of the break character is affected by the BRK13 and M bits as shown below.

Receiver Functional Description
In this section, the receiver block diagram (Figure 14-3) is used as a guide for the overall receiver
functional description. Next, the data sampling technique used to reconstruct receiver data is described in
more detail. Finally, two variations of the receiver wake up function are explained.
The receiver input is inverted by setting RXINV = 1. The receiver is enabled by setting the RE bit in
SCIxC2. Character frames consist of a start bit of logic 0, eight (or nine) data bits (LSB first), and a stop
bit of logic 1. For information about 9-bit data mode, see Section 14.5.5.1, “8- and 9-Bit Data Modes”. For
the remainder of this topic, assume that the SCI is configured for normal 8-bit data mode.
After receiving the stop bit into the receive shifter, and provided the receive data register is not already
full, the data character is transferred to the receive data register and the receive data register full (RDRF)
status flag is set. If RDRF was already set indicating the receive data register (buffer) was already full, the
overrun (OR) status flag is set and the new data is lost. Because the SCI receiver is double-buffered, the
program has one full character time after RDRF is set before the data in the receive data buffer must be
read to avoid a receiver overrun.
When a program detects that the receive data register is full (RDRF = 1), it gets the data from the receive
data register by reading SCIxD. The RDRF flag is cleared automatically by a 2-step sequence which is
normally satisfied in the course of the user’s program that handles receive data. See Section 14.5.4,
“Interrupts and Status Flags” for more details about flag clearing.
14.5.3.1
Data Sampling Technique
The SCI receiver uses a 16 baud rate clock for sampling. The receiver starts by taking logic level samples
at 16 times the baud rate to search for a falling edge on the RxD serial data input pin. A falling edge is
defined as a logic 0 sample after three consecutive logic 1 samples. The 16 baud rate clock is used to
divide the bit time into 16 segments labeled RT1 through RT16. When a falling edge is located, three more
samples are taken at RT3, RT5, and RT7 to make sure this was a real start bit and not merely noise. If at
least two of these three samples are 0, the receiver assumes it is synchronized to a receive character.
The receiver then samples each bit time, including the start and stop bits, at RT8, RT9, and RT10 to
determine the logic level for that bit. The logic level is interpreted to be that of the majority of the samples
taken during the bit time. In the case of the start bit, the bit is assumed to be 0 if at least two of the samples
at RT3, RT5, and RT7 are 0 even if one or all of the samples taken at RT8, RT9, and RT10 are 1s. If any
sample in any bit time (including the start and stop bits) in a character frame fails to agree with the logic
level for that bit, the noise flag (NF) will be set when the received character is transferred to the receive
data buffer.
The falling edge detection logic continuously looks for falling edges, and if an edge is detected, the sample
clock is synchronized to bit times. This improves the reliability of the receiver in the presence of noise or
mismatched baud rates. It does not improve worst case analysis because some characters do not have any
extra falling edges anywhere in the character frame.
In the case of a framing error, provided the received character was not a break character, the sampling logic
that searches for a falling edge is filled with three logic 1 samples so that a new start bit can be detected
almost immediately.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8

Freescale Semiconductor
Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
In the case of a framing error, the receiver is inhibited from receiving any new characters until the framing
error flag is cleared. The receive shift register continues to function, but a complete character cannot
transfer to the receive data buffer if FE is still set.
14.5.3.2
Receiver Wake up Operation
Receiver wake up is a hardware mechanism that allows an SCI receiver to ignore the characters in a
message that is intended for a different SCI receiver. In such a system, all receivers evaluate the first
character(s) of each message, and as soon as they determine the message is intended for a different
receiver, they write logic 1 to the receiver wake up (RWU) control bit in SCIxC2. When RWU bit is set,
the status flags associated with the receiver (with the exception of the idle bit, IDLE, when RWUID bit is
set) are inhibited from setting, thus eliminating the software overhead for handling the unimportant
message characters. At the end of a message, or at the beginning of the next message, all receivers
automatically force RWU to 0 so all receivers wake up in time to look at the first character(s) of the next
message.
14.5.3.2.1
Idle-Line Wake up
When WAKE = 0, the receiver is configured for idle-line wake up. In this mode, RWU is cleared
automatically when the receiver detects a full character time of the idle-line level. The M control bit selects
8-bit or 9-bit data mode that determines how many bit times of idle are needed to constitute a full character
time (10 or 11 bit times because of the start and stop bits).
When RWU is one and RWUID is zero, the idle condition that wakes up the receiver does not set the IDLE
flag. The receiver wakes up and waits for the first data character of the next message which will set the
RDRF flag and generate an interrupt if enabled. When RWUID is one, any idle condition sets the IDLE
flag and generates an interrupt if enabled, regardless of whether RWU is zero or one.
The idle-line type (ILT) control bit selects one of two ways to detect an idle line. When ILT = 0, the idle
bit counter starts after the start bit so the stop bit and any logic 1s at the end of a character count toward
the full character time of idle. When ILT = 1, the idle bit counter does not start until after a stop bit time,
so the idle detection is not affected by the data in the last character of the previous message.
14.5.3.2.2
Address-Mark Wake up
When WAKE = 1, the receiver is configured for address-mark wake up. In this mode, RWU is cleared
automatically when the receiver detects a logic 1 in the most significant bit of a received character (eighth
bit in M = 0 mode and ninth bit in M = 1 mode).
Address-mark wake up allows messages to contain idle characters but requires that the MSB be reserved
for use in address frames. The logic 1 MSB of an address frame clears the RWU bit before the stop bit is
received and sets the RDRF flag. In this case the character with the MSB set is received even though the
receiver was sleeping during most of this character time.

14.5.4
Interrupts and Status Flags
The SCI system has three separate interrupt vectors to reduce the amount of software needed to isolate the
cause of the interrupt. One interrupt vector is associated with the transmitter for TDRE and TC events.
Another interrupt vector is associated with the receiver for RDRF, IDLE, RXEDGIF and LBKDIF events,
and a third vector is used for OR, NF, FE, and PF error conditions. Each of these ten interrupt sources can
be separately masked by local interrupt enable masks. The flags can still be polled by software when the
local masks are cleared to disable generation of hardware interrupt requests.
The SCI transmitter has two status flags that optionally can generate hardware interrupt requests. Transmit
data register empty (TDRE) indicates when there is room in the transmit data buffer to write another
transmit character to SCIxD. If the transmit interrupt enable (TIE) bit is set, a hardware interrupt will be
requested whenever TDRE = 1. Transmit complete (TC) indicates that the transmitter is finished
transmitting all data, preamble, and break characters and is idle with TxD at the inactive level. This flag is
often used in systems with modems to determine when it is safe to turn off the modem. If the transmit
complete interrupt enable (TCIE) bit is set, a hardware interrupt will be requested whenever TC = 1.
Instead of hardware interrupts, software polling may be used to monitor the TDRE and TC status flags if
the corresponding TIE or TCIE local interrupt masks are 0s.
When a program detects that the receive data register is full (RDRF = 1), it gets the data from the receive
data register by reading SCIxD. The RDRF flag is cleared by reading SCIxS1 while RDRF = 1 and then
reading SCIxD.
When polling is used, this sequence is naturally satisfied in the normal course of the user program. If
hardware interrupts are used, SCIxS1 must be read in the interrupt service routine (ISR). Normally, this is
done in the ISR anyway to check for receive errors, so the sequence is automatically satisfied.
The IDLE status flag includes logic that prevents it from getting set repeatedly when the RxD line remains
idle for an extended period of time. IDLE is cleared by reading SCIxS1 while IDLE = 1 and then reading
SCIxD. After IDLE has been cleared, it cannot become set again until the receiver has received at least
one new character and has set RDRF.
If the associated error was detected in the received character that caused RDRF to be set, the error flags
— noise flag (NF), framing error (FE), and parity error flag (PF) — get set at the same time as RDRF.
These flags are not set in overrun cases.
If RDRF was already set when a new character is ready to be transferred from the receive shifter to the
receive data buffer, the overrun (OR) flag gets set instead the data along with any associated NF, FE, or PF
condition is lost.
At any time, an active edge on the RxD serial data input pin causes the RXEDGIF flag to set. The
RXEDGIF flag is cleared by writing a “1” to it. This function does depend on the receiver being enabled
(RE = 1), and as a result can be used as a wake-up function from low power mode or to enable the UART
if it has been disabled.

Additional SCI Functions
The following sections describe additional SCI functions.
14.5.5.1
8- and 9-Bit Data Modes
The SCI system (transmitter and receiver) can be configured to operate in 9-bit data mode by setting the
M control bit in SCIxC1. In 9-bit mode, there is a ninth data bit to the left of the MSB of the SCI data
register. For the transmit data buffer, this bit is stored in T8 in SCIxC3. For the receiver, the ninth bit is
held in R8 in SCIxC3.
For coherent writes to the transmit data buffer, write to the T8 bit before writing to SCIxD.
If the bit value to be transmitted as the ninth bit of a new character is the same as for the previous character,
it is not necessary to write to T8 again. When data is transferred from the transmit data buffer to the
transmit shifter, the value in T8 is copied at the same time data is transferred from SCIxD to the shifter.
9-bit data mode typically is used in conjunction with parity to allow eight bits of data plus the parity in the
ninth bit. Or it is used with address-mark wake up so the ninth data bit can serve as the wake up bit. In
custom protocols, the ninth bit can also serve as a software-controlled marker.
14.5.5.2
Stop3 Mode Operation
In Stop3 mode, clocks to the SCI module are halted.
No SCI module registers are affected in Stop3 mode.
The receive input active edge detect circuit is still active in Stop3 mode. An active edge on the receive
input brings the CPU out of Stop3 mode if the interrupt is not masked (RXEDGIE = 1).
Note, because the clocks are halted, the SCI module will resume operation upon exit from Stop3 mode.
Software should ensure Stop3 mode is not entered while there is a character being transmitted out of or
received into the SCI module.
14.5.5.3
Loop Mode
When LOOPS = 1, the RSRC bit in the same register chooses between loop mode (RSRC = 0) or
single-wire mode (RSRC = 1). Loop mode is sometimes used to check software, independent of
connections in the external system, to help isolate system problems. In this mode, the transmitter output is
internally connected to the receiver input and the RxD pin is not used by the SCI, so it reverts to a
general-purpose port I/O pin.
14.5.5.4
Single-Wire Operation
When LOOPS = 1, the RSRC bit in the same register chooses between loop mode (RSRC = 0) or
single-wire mode (RSRC = 1). Single-wire mode is used to implement a half-duplex serial connection.
The receiver is internally connected to the transmitter output and to the TxD pin. The RxD pin is not used
and reverts to a general-purpose port I/O pin.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
14-11
Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
In single-wire mode, the TXDIR bit in SCIxC3 controls the direction of serial data on the TxD pin. When
TXDIR = 0, the TxD pin is an input to the SCI receiver and the transmitter is temporarily disconnected
from the TxD pin so an external device can send serial data to the receiver. When TXDIR = 1, the TxD pin
is an output driven by the transmitter.
14.5.6
Modes of Operation
The SCI is affected by the device mode of operation and the module clock can be disabled:
• For lower power, the SPI module clock can be disabled via the SCI control bit of the SCGC1
register
• LPRun - the reference oscillator is divided by 64 and all clocks are scaled by this factor. It is
recommended to disable the SCI during this mode as all frequencies and timing changes
accordingly. If not disabled, the SCI baud rate changes and normal baud rate and accuracy may not
be possible.
• Wait modes - there are 2 wait modes
— Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the peripheral clock still runs at normal
speed. In addition, the SCISWAI control bit in the SCI control SCIC1 register must be enabled
to allow the SCI clock to run during Wait. If the SCI is a slave, it can still respond to a transfer
and enable an interrupt request. No transmit transfers would occur as the CPU is disabled
– Setting SCISWAI does not affect the state of the receiver enable bit RE, or the transmitter
enable bit TE.
– If SCISWAI is set, any transmission or reception in progress stops at wait mode entry. The
transmission or reception resumes when either an internal or external interrupt brings the
CPU out of wait mode. Exiting wait mode by reset aborts any transmission or reception in
progress and resets the SCI.
— LPWait - when entered the the the CPU clock is disabled and the peripheral clock still runs but
at a reduced speed. This mode should be disabled as the baud rate would be altered.
• The SPI is disabled in Stop3 mode, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP
instruction.
— During Stop3 mode, clocks to the SCI module are halted. No registers are affected. If Stop3 is
exited with a reset, the SCI will be put into its reset state. If Stop3 is exited with an interrupt,
the SCI continues from the state it was in when Stop3 was entered.
— The RXEDGIF flag and related interrupt request is available for wake-up from low power.

SCI Baud Rate Registers (SCI1BDH, SCI1BDL)
This pair of registers (SCI1BDH, SCI1BDL) controls the pre scale integer divisor SBR[12:0] for SCI baud
rate generation. This divisor works in conjunction of the baud rate Fraction Adjust Counter (see
Section 14.6.8, “SCI Control Register 4 (SCI1C4)”) to establish the SCI baud rate.
To update the 13-bit baud rate setting SBR[12:0], first write to SCI1BDH to buffer the high half of the new
value and then write to SCI1BDL. The working value in SCI1BDH does not change until SCI1BDL is
written. To calculate SBR[12:0] for a given baud rate, see Section 14.5.1, “Baud Rate Generator”.
SCI1BDL is reset to a non-zero value, so after reset the baud rate generator remains disabled until the first
time the receiver or transmitter is enabled (RE or TE bits in SCI1C2 are written to 1).

Transmitter Enable
0 Transmitter off.

TE must be 1 to use the SCI transmitter. When TE = 1, the SCI forces the TxD pin to act as an output for the SCI
system.
When the SCI is configured for single-wire operation (LOOPS = RSRC = 1), TXDIR controls the direction of
traffic on the single SCI communication line (TxD pin).
TE also can be used to queue an idle character by writing TE = 0 then TE = 1 while a transmission is in progress.
See Section 14.5.2.1, “Send Break and Queued Idle” for more details.
When TE is written to 0, the transmitter keeps control of the port TxD pin until any data, queued idle, or queued
break character finishes transmitting before allowing the pin to revert to a general-purpose I/O pin.
2
RE
Receiver Enable — When the SCI receiver is off, the RxD pin reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin. If
LOOPS = 1 the RxD pin reverts to being a general-purpose I/O pin even if RE = 1.
0 Receiver off.
1 Receiver on.

RWU
Receiver Wake up Control — This bit can be written to 1 to place the SCI receiver in a standby state where it
waits for automatic hardware detection of a selected wake up condition. The wake up condition is either an idle
line between messages (WAKE = 0, idle-line wake up), or a logic 1 in the most significant data bit in a character
(WAKE = 1, address-mark wake up). Application software sets RWU and (normally) a selected hardware
condition automatically clears RWU. See Section 14.5.3.2, “Receiver Wake up Operation” for more details.
0 Normal SCI receiver operation.
1 SCI receiver in standby waiting for wakeup condition.

SBK
Send Break — Writing a 1 and then a 0 to SBK queues a break character in the transmit data stream. Additional
break characters of 10 or 11 (13 or 14 if BRK13 = 1) bit times of logic 0 are queued as long as SBK = 1.
Depending on the timing of the set and clear of SBK relative to the information currently being transmitted, a
second break character may be queued before software clears SBK. See Section 14.5.2.1, “Send Break and
Queued Idle” for more details.
0 Normal transmitter operation.
1 Queue break character(s) to be sent.

TDRE
Transmit Data Register Empty Flag — TDRE is set out of reset and when a transmit data value transfers from
the transmit data buffer to the transmit shifter, leaving room for a new character in the buffer. To clear TDRE, read
SCIxS1 with TDRE = 1 and then write to the SCI data register (SCIxD).

TC is cleared automatically by reading SCIxS1 with TC = 1 and then doing one of the following three things:
• Write to the SCI data register (SCIxD) to transmit new data
• Queue a preamble by changing TE from 0 to 1
• Queue a break character by writing 1 to SBK in SCIxC2

RDRF
Receive Data Register Full Flag — RDRF becomes set when a character transfers from the receive shifter into
the receive data register (SCIxD). To clear RDRF, read SCIxS1 with RDRF = 1 and then read the SCI data
register (SCIxD).
0 Receive data register empty.
1 Receive data register full.
4
IDLE
Idle Line Flag — IDLE is set when the SCI receive line becomes idle for a full character time after a period of
activity. When ILT = 0, the receiver starts counting idle bit times after the start bit. So if the receive character is
all 1s, these bit times and the stop bit time count toward the full character time of logic high (10 or 11 bit times
depending on the M control bit) needed for the receiver to detect an idle line. When ILT = 1, the receiver doesn’t
start counting idle bit times until after the stop bit. So the stop bit and any logic high bit times at the end of the
previous character do not count toward the full character time of logic high needed for the receiver to detect an
idle line.
To clear IDLE, read SCIxS1 with IDLE = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD). After IDLE has been
cleared, it cannot become set again until after a new character has been received and RDRF has been set. IDLE
will get set only once even if the receive line remains idle for an extended period.
0 No idle line detected.
1 Idle line was detected.
3
OR
Receiver Overrun Flag — OR is set when a new serial character is ready to be transferred to the receive data
register (buffer), but the previously received character has not been read from SCIxD yet. In this case, the new
character (and all associated error information) is lost because there is no room to move it into SCIxD. To clear
OR, read SCIxS1 with OR = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No overrun.
1 Receive overrun (new SCI data lost).
2
NF
Noise Flag — The advanced sampling technique used in the receiver takes seven samples during the start bit
and three samples in each data bit and the stop bit. If any of these samples disagrees with the rest of the samples
within any bit time in the frame, the flag NF will be set at the same time as the flag RDRF gets set for the
character. To clear NF, read SCIxS1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No noise detected.
1 Noise detected in the received character in SCIxD.
1
FE
Framing Error Flag — FE is set at the same time as RDRF when the receiver detects a logic 0 where the stop
bit was expected. This suggests the receiver was not properly aligned to a character frame. To clear FE, read
SCIxS1 with FE = 1 and then read the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No framing error detected. This does not guarantee the framing is correct.
1 Framing error.
0
PF
Parity Error Flag — PF is set at the same time as RDRF when parity is enabled (PE = 1) and the parity bit in
the received character does not agree with the expected parity value. To clear PF, read SCIxS1 and then read
the SCI data register (SCIxD).
0 No parity error.
1 Parity error.

Serial Communications Interface (SCI)
When using an internal oscillator in a LIN system, it is necessary to raise the break detection threshold by
one bit time. Under the worst case timing conditions allowed in LIN, it is possible that a 0x00 data
character can appear to be 10.26 bit times long at a slave which is running 14% faster than the master. This
would trigger normal break detection circuitry which is designed to detect a 10 bit break symbol. When
the LBKDE bit is set, framing errors are inhibited and the break detection threshold changes from 10 bits
to 11 bits, preventing false detection of a 0x00 data character as a LIN break symbol.

R8
Ninth Data Bit for Receiver — When the SCI is configured for 9-bit data (M = 1), R8 can be thought of as a ninth
receive data bit to the left of the MSB of the buffered data in the SCIxD register. When reading 9-bit data, read
R8 before reading SCIxD because reading SCIxD completes automatic flag clearing sequences which could
allow R8 and SCIxD to be overwritten with new data.
6
T8
Ninth Data Bit for Transmitter — When the SCI is configured for 9-bit data (M = 1), T8 may be thought of as a
ninth transmit data bit to the left of the MSB of the data in the SCIxD register. When writing 9-bit data, the entire
9-bit value is transferred to the SCI shift register after SCIxD is written so T8 should be written (if it needs to
change from its previous value) before SCIxD is written. If T8 does not need to change in the new value (such
as when it is used to generate mark or space parity), it need not be written each time SCIxD is written.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Module
15.1
Introduction
The SPI module is a synchronous serial data input/output port used for interfacing with serial memories,
peripheral devices, or other processors. The SPI allows an 8-bit serial bit stream to be shifted
simultaneously into and out of the device at a programmed bit-transfer rate (called 4-wire mode). There
are four pins associated with the SPI port; SPCLK (SPSCK), MOSI, MISO, and SS.
The SPI module can be programmed for master or slave operation. It also supports a 3-wire mode where
for master mode the MOSI becomes MOMI, a bidirectional data pin, and for slave mode the MISO
becomes SISO, a bidirectional data pin. In 3-wire mode, data is only transferred in one direction at a time.
The SPI bit clock is derived from the bus clock with a maximum 16 MHz operation. A programmable
prescaler (maximum divide-by-8) drives a second baud rate programmable divider (maximum
divide-by-256) to develop the bit clock. The maximum SPI transfer rate is 8 MHz.
15.2
Features
Features of the SPI module include:
• Master or slave mode operation
• Full-duplex or single-wire bidirectional option
• 8-Bit only transfer size
• Programmable transmit bit rate (8 MHz max)
• Double-buffered transmit and receive
• Serial clock phase and polarity options (supports all 4 options)
• Optional slave select output
• Selectable MSB-first or LSB-first shifting
• Selectable MSB-first or LSB-first shifting

Figure 15-1 shows the MC13234/MC13237 as the SPI master and an external device as a SPI slave. The
MCU (master) initiates all SPI transfers. During a transfer, the master shifts data out (on the MOSI pin) to
the slave while simultaneously shifting data in (on the MISO pin) from the slave. The SPI interface
supports simultaneous data exchange between master and slave, although some devices may be read or
write only. The SPSCK signal is a clock output from the master and an input to the slave. The slave device
must be enabled by a low level on the slave select input.

External Signal Description
The SPI optionally shares four port pins. The function of these pins depends on the settings of SPI control
bits. When the SPI is disabled (SPE = 0), these four pins revert to being general-purpose port I/O pins that
are not controlled by the SPI.
15.4.1
SPICLK — SPI Serial Clock (SPSCK)
When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin, also known as SPSCK, is the serial clock input. When the SPI
is enabled as a master, this pin is the serial clock output.
15.4.2
MOSI — Master Data Out, Slave Data In
When the SPI is enabled as a master and SPI pin control zero (SPC0) is 0 (not bidirectional mode), this
pin is the serial data output. When the SPI is enabled as a slave and SPC0 = 0, this pin is the serial data
input. If SPC0 = 1 to select single-wire bidirectional mode, and master mode is selected, this pin becomes
the bidirectional data I/O pin (MOMI). Also, the bidirectional mode output enable bit determines whether

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Module
the pin acts as an input (BIDIROE = 0) or an output (BIDIROE = 1). If SPC0 = 1 and slave mode is
selected, this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin.
15.4.3
MISO — Master Data In, Slave Data Out
When the SPI is enabled as a master and SPI pin control zero (SPC0) is 0 (not bidirectional mode), this
pin is the serial data input. When the SPI is enabled as a slave and SPC0 = 0, this pin is the serial data
output. If SPC0 = 1 to select single-wire bidirectional mode, and slave mode is selected, this pin becomes
the bidirectional data I/O pin (SISO) and the bidirectional mode output enable bit determines whether the
pin acts as an input (BIDIROE = 0) or an output (BIDIROE = 1). If SPC0 = 1 and master mode is selected,
this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being a general-purpose port I/O pin.
15.4.4
SS — Slave Select
When the SPI is enabled as a slave, this pin is the low-true slave select input. When the SPI is enabled as
a master and mode fault enable is off (MODFEN = 0), this pin is not used by the SPI and reverts to being
a general-purpose port I/O pin. When the SPI is enabled as a master and MODFEN = 1, the slave select
output enable bit determines whether this pin acts as the mode fault input (SSOE = 0) or as the slave select
output (SSOE = 1).
15.5
Functional Description
The central element of the SPI is the SPI shift register. Data is written to the double-buffered transmitter
(write to SPI1D) and gets transferred to the SPI shift register at the start of a data transfer. After shifting
in a byte of data, the data is transferred into the double-buffered receiver where it can be read (read from
SPI1D). Pin multiplexing logic controls connections between MCU pins and the SPI module.
When the SPI is configured as a master, the clock output is routed to the SPSCK1 pin, the shifter output is
routed to MOSI1, and the shifter input is routed from the MISO1 pin.
When the SPI is configured as a slave, the SPICLK pin is routed to the clock input of the SPI, the shifter
output is routed to MISO, and the shifter input is routed from the MOSI1 pin.
In the external SPI system, simply connect all SPSCK pins to each other, all MISO pins together, and all
MOSI pins together. Peripheral devices often use slightly different names for these pins.
15.5.1
Bit Rate Generation
As shown in Figure 15-3, the clock source for the SPI bitrate generator is the bus clock. The three prescale
bits (SPPR[2:0]) select a pre scale divisor of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. The three rate select bits (SPR[2:0])
divide the output of the prescaler stage by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 to get the internal SPI Master
Mode bitrate clock. With a maximum bus clock rate of 16 MHz and prescaler divisor = 1 and clock rate
divider = 2, the SPI maximum bit rate is 8 MHz.

Basic Transfer
A SPI transfer is initiated by checking for the SPI transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF = 1) and then writing
a byte of data to the SPI data register (SPI1D) in the master SPI device. When the SPI shift register is
available, this byte of data is moved from the transmit data buffer to the shifter, SPTEF is set to indicate
there is room in the buffer to queue another transmit character if desired, and the SPI serial transfer starts.
During the SPI transfer, data is sampled (read) on the MISO pin at one SPSCK edge and shifted, changing
the bit value on the MOSI pin, one-half SPSCK cycle later. After eight SPSCK cycles, the data that was
in the shift register of the master has been shifted out the MOSI pin to the slave while eight bits of data
were shifted in the MISO pin into the master’s shift register. At the end of this transfer, the received data
byte is moved from the shifter into the receive data buffer and SPRF is set to indicate the data can be read
by reading SPI1D. If another byte of data is waiting in the transmit buffer at the end of a transfer, it is
moved into the shifter, SPTEF is set, and a new transfer is started.
Normally, SPI data is transferred most significant bit (MSB) first. If the least significant bit first enable
(LSBFE) bit is set, SPI data is shifted LSB first.
When the SPI is configured as a slave, its SS pin must be driven low before a transfer starts and SS must
stay low throughout the transfer. If a clock format where CPHA = 0 is selected, SS must be driven to a
logic 1 between successive transfers. If CPHA = 1, SS may remain low between successive transfers. See
Section 15.5.3, “SPI Clock Formats” for more details.
Because the transmitter and receiver are double buffered, a second byte, in addition to the byte currently
being shifted out, can be queued into the transmit data buffer, and a previously received character can be
in the receive data buffer while a new character is being shifted in. The SPTEF flag indicates when the
transmit buffer has room for a new character. The SPRF flag indicates when a received character is
available in the receive data buffer. The received character must be read out of the receive buffer (read
SPI1D) before the next transfer is finished or a receive overrun error results.
In the case of a receive overrun, the new data is lost because the receive buffer still held the previous
character and was not ready to accept the new data. There is no indication for such an overrun condition
so the application system designer must ensure that previous data has been read from the receive buffer
before a new transfer is initiated.
15.5.3
SPI Clock Formats
To accommodate a wide variety of synchronous serial peripherals from different manufacturers, the SPI
system has a clock polarity (CPOL) bit and a clock phase (CPHA) control bit to select one of four clock
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Module
formats for data transfers. CPOL selectively inserts an inverter in series with the clock. CPHA chooses
between two different clock phase relationships between the clock and data.
Figure 15-4 shows the clock formats when CPHA = 1. At the top of the figure, the eight bit times are shown
for reference with bit 1 starting at the first SPSCK edge and bit 8 ending one-half SPSCK cycle after the
sixteenth SPSCK edge. The MSB first and LSB first lines show the order of SPI data bits depending on
the setting in LSBFE. Both variations of SPSCK polarity are shown, but only one of these waveforms
applies for a specific transfer, depending on the value in CPOL. The SAMPLE IN waveform applies to the
MOSI input of a slave or the MISO input of a master. The MOSI waveform applies to the MOSI output
pin from a master and the MISO waveform applies to the MISO output from a slave. The SS OUT
waveform applies to the slave select output from a master (provided MODFEN and SSOE = 1). The master
SS output goes to active low one-half SPSCK cycle before the start of the transfer and goes back high at
the end of the eighth bit time of the transfer. The SS IN waveform applies to the slave select input of a
slave.

When CPHA = 1, the slave begins to drive its MISO output when SS goes to active low, but the data is not
defined until the first SPSCK edge. The first SPSCK edge shifts the first bit of data from the shifter onto
the MOSI output of the master and the MISO output of the slave. The next SPSCK edge causes both the

third SPSCK edge, the SPI shifter shifts one bit position which shifts in the bit value that was just sampled,
and shifts the second data bit value out the other end of the shifter to the MOSI and MISO outputs of the
master and slave, respectively. When CHPA = 1, the slave’s SS input is not required to go to its inactive
high level between transfers.
Figure 15-5 shows the clock formats when CPHA = 0. At the top of the figure, the eight bit times are shown
for reference with bit 1 starting as the slave is selected (SS IN goes low), and bit 8 ends at the last SPSCK
edge. The MSB first and LSB first lines show the order of SPI data bits depending on the setting in LSBFE.

low at the start of the first bit time of the transfer and goes back high one-half SPSCK cycle after the end

transfers.
15.5.4
SPI Interrupts
There are three flag bits, two interrupt mask bits, and one interrupt vector associated with the SPI system.
The SPI interrupt enable mask (SPIE) enables interrupts from the SPI receiver full flag (SPRF) and mode
fault flag (MODF). The SPI transmit interrupt enable mask (SPTIE) enables interrupts from the SPI
transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF). When one of the flag bits is set, and the associated interrupt mask bit
is set, a hardware interrupt request is sent to the CPU. If the interrupt mask bits are cleared, software can
poll the associated flag bits instead of using interrupts. The SPI interrupt service routine (ISR) should
check the flag bits to determine what event caused the interrupt. The service routine should also clear the
flag bit(s) before returning from the ISR (usually near the beginning of the ISR).
The SPI uses Interrupt Vector No. 17.
15.5.5
Mode Fault Detection
A mode fault occurs and the mode fault flag (MODF) becomes set when a master SPI device detects an
error on the SS pin (provided the SS pin is configured as the mode fault input signal). The SS pin is
configured to be the mode fault input signal when MSTR = 1, mode fault enable is set (MODFEN = 1),
and slave select output enable is clear (SSOE = 0).
The mode fault detection feature can be used in a system where more than one SPI device might become
a master at the same time. The error is detected when a master’s SS pin is low, indicating that some other
SPI device is trying to address this master as if it were a slave. This could indicate a harmful output driver
conflict, so the mode fault logic is designed to disable all SPI output drivers when such an error is detected.
When a mode fault is detected, MODF is set and MSTR is cleared to change the SPI configuration back
to slave mode. The output drivers on the SPSCK, MOSI, and MISO (if not bidirectional mode) are
disabled.
MODF is cleared by reading it while it is set, then writing to the SPI control register 1 (SPI1C1). User
software should verify the error condition has been corrected before changing the SPI back to master
mode.
15.6
Modes of Operation
The SPI is affected by the device mode of operation and the module clock can be disabled:
• For lower power, the SPI module clock can be disabled via the SPI control bit of the SCGC2
Register
• LPRun - the reference oscillator is divided by 64 and all clocks are scaled by this factor. The SPI
can run but the SPI clock and timing changes during this mode accordingly.
• Wait modes - there are two wait modes
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
15-8
Freescale Semiconductor
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Module
— Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs at normal speed. In
addition, the SPISWAI control bit in the SCI control SPIC2 register must be enabled to allow
the SCI clock to run during Wait. If the SPI is a slave, it can still respond to a transfer and enable
an interrupt request. No master transfers would occur as the CPU is disabled
— LPWait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs but at a reduced
speed. In addition, the SPISWAI control bit in the SCI control SPIC2 register must be enabled
to allow the SCI clock to run during Wait. If the SPI is a slave, it can still respond to a transfer
and enable an interrupt request. No master transfers would occur as the CPU is disabled.
The SPI is disabled in Stop3 mode, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP
instruction.
— During Stop3 mode, clocks to the SPI module are halted. No registers are affected. If Stop3 is
exited with a reset, the SPI will be put into its reset state. If Stop3 is exited with an interrupt,
the SPI continues from the state it was in when Stop3 was entered.
Background Mode Operation -When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the SPI
temporarily suspends all counting until the microcontroller returns to normal user mode.

SPRF
SPI Read Buffer Full Flag — SPRF is set at the completion of an SPI transfer to indicate that received data may
be read from the SPI data register (SPI1D). SPRF is cleared by reading SPRF while it is set, then reading the
SPI data register.
0 No data available in the receive data buffer
1 Data available in the receive data buffer
5
SPTEF
SPI Transmit Buffer Empty Flag — This bit is set when there is room in the transmit data buffer. It is cleared by
reading SPI1S with SPTEF set, followed by writing a data value to the transmit buffer at SPI1D. SPI1S must be
read with SPTEF = 1 before writing data to SPI1D or the SPI1D write will be ignored. SPTEF generates an
SPTEF CPU interrupt request if the SPTIE bit in the SPI1C1 is also set. SPTEF is automatically set when a data
byte transfers from the transmit buffer into the transmit shift register. For an idle SPI (no data in the transmit buffer
or the shift register and no transfer in progress), data written to SPI1D is transferred to the shifter almost
immediately so SPTEF is set within two bus cycles allowing a second 8-bit data value to be queued into the
transmit buffer. After completion of the transfer of the value in the shift register, the queued value from the
transmit buffer will automatically move to the shifter and SPTEF will be set to indicate there is room for new data
in the transmit buffer. If no new data is waiting in the transmit buffer, SPTEF simply remains set and no data
moves from the buffer to the shifter.
0 SPI transmit buffer not empty
1 SPI transmit buffer empty
4
MODF
Master Mode Fault Flag — MODF is set if the SPI is configured as a master and the slave select input goes
low, indicating some other SPI device is also configured as a master. The SS pin acts as a mode fault error input
only when MSTR = 1, MODFEN = 1, and SSOE = 0; otherwise, MODF will never be set. MODF is cleared by
reading MODF while it is 1, then writing to SPI control register 1 (SPI1C1).
0 No mode fault error
1 Mode fault error detected
15.7.5
SPI Data Register (SPI1D)
The read/write SPI1D register is used to write data to the transmitter and read data from the receiver.
• Reads of this register return the data read from the receive data buffer.
• Writes to this register write data to the transmit data buffer.
When the SPI is configured as a master, writing data to the transmit data buffer initiates an SPI transfer.
Data should not be written to the transmit data buffer unless the SPI transmit buffer empty flag (SPTEF)
is set, indicating there is room in the transmit buffer to queue a new transmit byte.
Data may be read from SPI1D any time after SPRF is set and before another transfer is finished. Failure
to read the data out of the receive data buffer before a new transfer ends causes a receive overrun condition
and the data from the new transfer is lost.

Timer/PWM (TPM Module)
16.1
Introduction
The MC13234/MC13237 has four independent timer/PWM modules, each with one channel. Each TPM
module is based on a 16-bit counter and provides input capture, output compare, and pulse width
modulation. Each TPM module has one associated I/O pin for input capture or counter/PWM output. Each
TPM has an independent set of control/status registers.
16.2
Features
Each TPM has the following features:
• Each TPM may be configured for buffered, center-aligned pulse-width modulation (CPWM)
• Clock sources independently selectable per TPM
• Selectable clock sources
— Bus clock
— Optional 32.768 kHz oscillator
— 32 MHz reference oscillator divided-by 1024 (31,250 Hz)
• Clock prescaler taps for divide by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128
• 16-bit free-running or up/down (CPWM) count operation

External Signals (TPM3:TPM0)
The are 4 timer I/O signals:
• TPM0 - associated with Channel 0, TPM1
• TPM1 - associated with Channel 0, TPM2
• TPM2 - associated with Channel 0, TPM3
• TPM3 - associated with Channel 0, TPM4
The function of any pin depends on the configuration of its channel:
• If no pin function is needed, the pin reverts to being controlled by the general-purpose port I/O
controls
• When used as an input, the TPMx I/O can be used for input capture or timer gating. It cannot be
used as a clock source to the TPM counter.
• The TPMx I/O may also be used as an output for various PWM and counter modes.
16.3
Functional Description
As shown in Figure 16-1, all TPM functions are associated with a main 16-bit counter that allows flexible
selection of its clock source and pre scale divisor. A 16-bit modulo register also is associated with the main
16-bit counter in the TPM for comparator functions.

Timer/PWM (TPM Module)
Each TPM has a single timing channel, with an associated external I/O pin, that supports center-aligned
pulse-width-modulation (PWM), input event capture, output compare, and edge-aligned PWM mode.
Each TPM is completely independent and has its own external I/O pin and control registers
16.3.1
TPM Counter Clock Source
As seen in Figure 16-1, the main 16-bit counter has a programmable clock source. The primary source is
selected by a multiplexer:
• The MC13234/MC13237 bus clock (peripheral clock) - the CPU and bus clock (equal to 1/2 CPU
clock) are programmable
• An optional onboard 32.768 kHz oscillator - an external 32.768 kHz crystal must be used and the
oscillator enabled
• The 32 MHz reference oscillator divided-by-1024 (31,250 Hz)
The multiplexer is controlled by the CLKSB:CLKSA Bits of Register TPMxSC, and this field can also be
used to disable the TPMx module by selecting no clock. Table 16-1 shows the coding for the TPM clock
source selection.

The selected clock source, in turn, drives a prescaler that feeds the counter directly. The prescaler is
programmable for divide ratios from 1 to 128 and is controlled by the PS[2:0] field of Register TPMxSC.
Table 16-2 shows the coding for the prescaler divide ratio selection.

Timer/PWM (TPM Module)
16.3.2
Counter
All timer functions are based on the main 16-bit counter (TPM1CNTH:TPM1CNTL). This section
discusses up-counting vs. up-/down-counting, end-of-count overflow, and manual counter reset.
After any device reset, CLKSB:CLKSA = 0:0 so no clock source is selected and the TPM is inactive.
Typically, CLKSB:CLKSA are set to 0:1 so the bus clock drives the timer counter.
The main 16-bit counter has two counting modes:
• When center-aligned PWM is selected (CPWMS = 1), the counter operates in up-/down-counting
mode. The counter counts upward from 0x0000 through its terminal count and then counts
downward to 0x0000 where it returns to up-counting. The terminal count is 0xFFFF or a modulus
value in TPM1MODH:TPM1MODL registers, depending on programming.
• Otherwise (CPWMS = 0), the counter operates as a simple up-counter. As an up-counter, the main
16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through its terminal count and then rolls over to 0x0000. The
terminal count is 0xFFFF or a modulus value in TPM1MODH:TPM1MODL registers, depending
on programming.
The timer overflow status flag (TOF) is associated with the main 16-bit counter and is an indication that
the timer counter has overflowed. An interrupt request enable bit (TOIE) allows an IRQ to automatically
be generated whenever the TOF flag is 1. The conditions that cause TOF to become set depend on the
counting mode (up or up/down):
• Up-counting mode — If a modulus limit is not set - the 16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF and
overflows to 0x0000 on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the transition from
0xFFFF to 0x0000.
— If a modulus limit is set - the 16-bit counter counts from 0x0000 through to the value set in the
modulus register and overflows to 0x0000 on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the
transition from the value set in the modulus register to 0x0000.
• Up-/down-counting mode - the TOF flag gets set as the counter changes direction at the transition
from the value set in the modulus register and the next lower count value. This corresponds to the
end of a PWM period. (The 0x0000 count value corresponds to the center of a period.)
Because the CPU is an 8-bit architecture, a coherency mechanism is built into the timer counter for read
operations. Whenever either byte of the counter is read (TPMxCNTH or TPMxCNTL), both bytes are
captured into a buffer so when the other byte is read, the value will represent the other byte of the count at
the time the first byte was read. The counter continues to count normally, but no new value can be read
from either byte until both bytes of the old count have been read.
The main timer counter can be reset manually at any time by writing any value to either byte of the timer
count TPM1CNTH or TPM1CNTL. Resetting the counter in this manner also resets the coherency
mechanism in case only one byte of the counter was read before resetting the count.

Timer/PWM (TPM Module)
16.3.3
Channel Mode Selection
The MC13234/MC13237 has only one channel per TPM module, i.e., Channel 1. Provided CPWMS = 0
(center-aligned PWM operation is not specified), the MS0B and MS0AMS0A control bits in the channel
status and control registers determine the basic mode of operation for Channel 0. Mode choices include
input capture, output compare, and buffered edge-aligned PWM.
A single channel status flag is used for any of the channel modes.
16.3.3.1
Input Capture Mode
With the input capture function, the TPM can capture the time at which an external event occurs. When an
active edge occurs on the pin of an input capture channel, the TPM latches the contents of the TPM counter
into the channel value registers (TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL). Rising edges, falling edges, or any edge may
be chosen as the active edge that triggers an input capture.
When either byte of the 16-bit capture register is read, both bytes are latched into a buffer to support
coherent 16-bit accesses regardless of order. The coherency sequence can be manually reset by writing to
the channel status/control register (TPMxC0SC).
An input capture event sets a flag bit (CH0F) that can optionally generate an interrupt request.
16.3.3.2
Output Compare Mode
With the output compare function, the TPM can generate timed pulses with programmable position,
polarity, duration, and frequency. When the counter reaches the value in the channel value registers of an
output compare channel, the TPM can set, clear, or toggle the channel pin.
In output compare mode, values are transferred to the corresponding timer channel value registers only
after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have been written. This coherency sequence can be manually reset
by writing to the channel status/control register (TPMxC0SC).
An output compare event sets a flag bit (CH0F) that can optionally generate a CPU interrupt request.
16.3.3.3
Edge-Aligned PWM Mode
Edge-aligned PWM output mode uses the normal up-counting mode of the timer counter (CPWMS = 0).
The period of this PWM signal is determined by the setting in the modulus register
(TPM1MODH:TPM1MODL). The duty cycle is determined by the setting in the timer channel value
register (TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL). The polarity of this PWM signal is determined by the setting in the
ELS0A control bit. Duty cycle cases of 0 percent and 100 percent are possible.
As Figure 16-2 shows, the output compare value in the TPM channel registers determines the pulse width
(duty cycle) of the PWM signal. The time between the modulus overflow and the output compare is the
pulse width. If ELS0A = 0, the counter overflow forces the PWM signal high and the output compare
forces the PWM signal low. If ELS0A = 1, the counter overflow forces the PWM signal low and the output
compare forces the PWM signal high.

When the channel value register is set to 0x0000, the duty cycle is 0 percent. By setting the timer channel
value register (TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL) to a value greater than the modulus setting, a 100% duty cycle
can be achieved. This implies that the modulus setting must be less than 0xFFFF to get 100% duty cycle.
Because the CPU is an 8-bit architecture, the settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to ensure
coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to either register, TPMxC0VH
or TPMxC0VL, write to buffer registers. In edge-PWM mode, values are transferred to the corresponding
timer channel registers only after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have been written and the value in
the TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL counter is 0x0000. (The new duty cycle does not take effect until the next
full period.)
16.3.4
Center-Aligned PWM Mode
This type of PWM output uses the up-/down-counting mode of the timer counter (CPWMS = 1). The
output compare value in TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL determines the pulse width (duty cycle) of the PWM
signal and the period is determined by the value in TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL.
TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL should be kept in the range of 0x0001 to 0x7FFF because values outside this
range can produce ambiguous results. ELS0A will determine the polarity of the CPWM output.
pulse width = 2 x (TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL)
period = 2 x (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL);
for TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL = 0x0001–0x7FFF
Eqn. 16-1
Eqn. 16-2
If the channel value register TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL is zero or negative (Bit 15 set), the duty cycle will
be 0%. If TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL is a positive value (Bit 15 clear) and is greater than the (nonzero)
modulus setting, the duty cycle will be 100% because the duty cycle compare will never occur. This
implies the usable range of periods set by the modulus register is 0x0001 through 0x7FFE (0x7FFF if
generation of 100% duty cycle is not necessary). This is not a significant limitation because the resulting
period is much longer than required for normal applications.
TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL = 0x0000 is a special case that should not be used with center-aligned PWM
mode. When CPWMS = 0, this case corresponds to the counter running free from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF,
but when CPWMS = 1 the counter needs a valid match to the modulus register somewhere other than at
0x0000 to change directions from up-counting to down-counting.

Timer/PWM (TPM Module)
Figure 16-3 shows the output compare value in the TPM channel registers (multiplied by 2), which
determines the pulse width (duty cycle) of the CPWM signal. If ELS0A = 0, the compare match while
counting up forces the CPWM output signal low and a compare match while counting down forces the
output high. The counter counts up until it reaches the modulo setting in TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL, then
counts down until it reaches zero. This sets the period equal to two times TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL.

Center-aligned PWM outputs typically produce less noise than edge-aligned PWMs because fewer I/O pin
transitions are lined up at the same system clock edge. This type of PWM is also required for some types
of motor drives.
Because the CPU is an 8-bit architecture, the settings in the timer channel registers are buffered to ensure
coherent 16-bit updates and to avoid unexpected PWM pulse widths. Writes to any of the registers,
TPMxMODH, TPMxMODL, TPMxC0VH, and TPMxC0VL, actually write to buffer registers. Values are
transferred to the corresponding timer channel registers only after both 8-bit bytes of a 16-bit register have
been written and the timer counter overflows (reverses direction from up-counting to down-counting at the
end of the terminal count in the modulus register). This TPMxCNT overflow requirement only applies to
PWM channels, not output compares.
Optionally, when TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL = TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL, the TPM can generate a TOF
interrupt at the end of this count. The user can choose to reload any number of the PWM buffers, and they
will all update simultaneously at the start of a new period.
Writing to TPMxSC cancels any values written to TPMxMODH and/or TPMxMODL and resets the
coherency mechanism for the modulo registers. Writing to TPM1CnSC cancels any values written to the
channel value registers and resets the coherency mechanism for TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL.
16.4
TPM Interrupts
Each TPM has two interrupt request sources:
• The main counter overflow status (TOF)
• The Channel 0 status flag (CH0F) - the meaning of channel status depends on the mode of
operation for the channel.
— If the channel is configured for input capture, the interrupt flag is set each time the selected
input capture edge is recognized.
— If the channel is configured for output compare or PWM modes, the interrupt flag is set each
time the main timer counter matches the value in the 16-bit channel value register.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
16-7
Timer/PWM (TPM Module)
For each interrupt request source in the TPM, a flag bit is set on recognition of the interrupt condition such
as timer overflow, channel input capture, or output compare events. This flag may be read (polled) by
software to verify that the action has occurred, or an associated enable bit (TOIE or CH0IE) can be set to
enable hardware interrupt request generation. While the interrupt enable bit is set, a static interrupt request
will be generated whenever the associated interrupt flag equals 1. It is the responsibility of user software
to perform a sequence of steps to clear the interrupt flag before returning from the interrupt service routine.
16.4.1
Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags
TPM interrupt flags are cleared by a 2-step process that includes a read of the flag bit while it is set (1)
followed by a write of 0 to the bit. If a new event is detected between these two steps, the sequence is reset
and the interrupt flag remains set after the second step to avoid the possibility of missing the new event.
16.4.2
Timer Overflow Interrupt Description
The conditions that cause TOF to become set depend on the counting mode (up or up/down). In
up-counting mode, the 16-bit timer counter counts from 0x0000 through 0xFFFF and overflows to 0x0000
on the next counting clock. TOF becomes set at the transition from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. When a modulus
limit is set, TOF becomes set at the transition from the value set in the modulus register to 0x0000. When
the counter is operating in up-/down-counting mode, the TOF flag gets set as the counter changes direction
at the transition from the value set in the modulus register and the next lower count value. This corresponds
to the end of a PWM period. (The 0x0000 count value corresponds to the center of a period.)
16.4.3
Channel Event Interrupt Description
The meaning of channel interrupts depends on the current mode of the channel (input capture, output
compare, edge-aligned PWM, or center-aligned PWM).
When a channel is configured as an input capture channel, the ELS0B:ELS0A control bits select rising
edges, falling edges, any edge, or no edge (off) as the edge that triggers an input capture event. When the
selected edge is detected, the interrupt flag is set. The flag is cleared by the 2-step sequence described in
Section 16.4.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags”.
When a channel is configured as an output compare channel, the interrupt flag is set each time the main
timer counter matches the 16-bit value in the channel value register. The flag is cleared by the 2-step
sequence described in Section 16.4.1, “Clearing Timer Interrupt Flags”.
16.4.4
PWM End-of-Duty-Cycle Events
For the channel that is configured for PWM operation, there are two possibilities:
• When the channel is configured for edge-aligned PWM, the channel flag is set when the timer
counter matches the channel value register that marks the end of the active duty cycle period.
• When the channel is configured for center-aligned PWM, the timer count matches the channel
value register twice during each PWM cycle. In this CPWM case, the channel flag is set at the start
and at the end of the active duty cycle, which are the times when the timer counter matches the
channel value register.

16.5
Modes of operation
The TPM is affected by the device mode of operation and the module clock can be disabled:
• For lower power, the TPM module clock can be disabled via the KBIx control bit of the SCGC1
Register
• LPRun - the reference oscillator is divided by 64 and all clocks are scaled by this factor. It is
recommended to disable the TPM during this mode as all frequencies and timing changes
accordingly.
• Wait modes - there are two wait modes
— Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs at normal speed .
The TPM, if enabled, will continue to operate normally. However, there will be no new codes
or changes of operation while in wait mode, because the CPU is not operating.
— LP Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs but at a reduced
speed. The TPM, if enabled, will continue to operate, however, all timing would be incorrect.
Operation is not recommended.
• The TPM is disabled in Stop3 mode, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP
instruction.
— During Stop3 mode, clocks to the TPM module are halted. No registers are affected. If Stop3
is exited with a reset, the TPM will be put into its reset state. If Stop3 is exited with an interrupt,
the TPM will resume operation. It is recommended that the TPM be halted before entering
Stop3.
• Background Mode Operation -When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the TPM
temporarily suspends all counting until the microcontroller returns to normal user mode. When
background mode is active, the timer counter and the coherency mechanism are frozen such that
the buffer latches remain in the state they were in when the background mode became active even
if one or both bytes of the counter are read while background mode is active..
16.6
Register Definition
The TPM includes:
• An 8-bit status and control register (TPMxSC)
• A 16-bit counter (TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL)

Timer Channel 0 has:
• An 8-bit status and control register (TPMxC0SC)

TOF
Timer Overflow Flag — This flag is set when the TPM counter changes to 0x0000 after reaching the modulo
value programmed in the TPM counter modulo registers. When the TPM is configured for CPWM, TOF is set
after the counter has reached the value in the modulo register, at the transition to the next lower count value.
Clear TOF by reading the TPM status and control register when TOF is set and then writing a 0 to TOF. If another
TPM overflow occurs before the clearing sequence is complete, the sequence is reset so TOF would remain set
after the clear sequence was completed for the earlier TOF. Reset clears TOF. Writing a 1 to TOF has no effect.

Timer x Counter Registers (TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL)
The two read-only TPM counter registers contain the high and low bytes of the value in the TPM counter.
Reading either byte (TPMxCNTH or TPMxCNTL) latches the contents of both bytes into a buffer where
they remain latched until the other byte is read. This allows coherent 16-bit reads in either order. The
coherency mechanism is automatically restarted by an MCU reset, a write of any value to TPMxCNTH or
TPMxCNTL, or any write to the timer status/control register (TPM1SC).
Reset clears the TPM counter registers.

Timer x Counter Modulo Registers (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL)
The read/write TPM modulo registers contain the modulo value for the TPM counter. After the TPM
counter reaches the modulo value, the TPM counter resumes counting from 0x0000 at the next clock
(CPWMS = 0) or starts counting down (CPWMS = 1), and the overflow flag (TOF) becomes set. Writing
to TPMxMODH or TPMxMODL inhibits TOF and overflow interrupts until the other byte is written.
Reset sets the TPM counter modulo registers to 0x0000, which results in a free-running timer counter
(modulo disabled).
It is good practice to wait for an overflow interrupt so both bytes of the modulo register can be written well
before a new overflow. An alternative approach is to reset the TPM counter before writing to the TPM
modulo registers to avoid confusion about when the first counter overflow will occur.

CH0F
Channel 0 Flag — When Channel 0 is configured for input capture, this flag bit is set when an active edge occurs
on the TPMx pin. When Channel 0 is an output compare or edge-aligned PWM channel, CH0F is set when the
value in the TPM counter registers matches the value in the TPM Channel 0 value registers. This flag is seldom
used with center-aligned PWMs because it is set every time the counter matches the channel value register,
which correspond to both edges of the active duty cycle period.
A corresponding interrupt is requested when CH0F is set and interrupts are enabled (CH0IE = 1). Clear CH0F
by reading TPM1CnSC while CH0F is set and then writing a 0 to CH0F. If another interrupt request occurs before
the clearing sequence is complete, the sequence is reset so CH0F would remain set after the clear sequence
was completed for the earlier CH0F. This is done so a CH0F interrupt request cannot be lost by clearing a
previous CH0F. Reset clears CH0F. Writing a 1 to CH0F has no effect.

polarity of the PWM output.
Setting ELS0B:ELS0A to 0:0 configures the related timer pin as a general-purpose I/O pin unrelated to any timer
channel functions. This function is typically used to temporarily disable an input capture channel or to make the
timer pin available as a general-purpose I/O pin when the associated timer channel is set up as a software timer
that does not require the use of a pin.

If the associated port pin is not stable for at least two bus clock cycles before changing to input capture

status flags after changing channel configuration bits and before enabling channel interrupts or using the
status flags to avoid any unexpected behavior.

Timer x Channel Value Registers (TPMxC0VH:TPMxC0VL)
These read/write registers contain the captured TPM counter value of the input capture function or the
output compare value for the output compare or PWM functions. The channel value registers are cleared
In input capture mode, reading either byte (TPMxC0VH or TPMxC0VL) latches the contents of both bytes
into a buffer where they remain latched until the other byte is read. This latching mechanism also resets
(becomes unlatched) when the TPM1CnSC register is written.
In output compare or PWM modes, writing to either byte (TPMxC0VH or TPMxC0VL) latches the value
into a buffer. When both bytes have been written, they are transferred as a coherent 16-bit value into the

Carrier Modulator Timer (CMT) Module
17.1
Introduction
Carrier Modulator Timer (CMT) module is a IR LED driver. The CMT consists of a carrier generator,
modulator, and transmitter that drives the infrared out (IRO) pin. The module can transmit data to IRO
output pin either in baseband or in FSK mode. The IRO pin has 20mA current drive capability.
17.2
Features
The features of the CMT module include:
• Four modes of operation
— Time with independent control of high and low times
— Baseband
— Frequency shift key (FSK)
— Direct software control of IRO pin
• Extended space operation in time, baseband, and FSK modes
• Selectable input clock divide: 1, 2, 4, or 8
• Interrupt on end of cycle
• Ability to disable IRO pin and use as timer interrupt
• CMT use as a timer resource.

External Signal (IRO)
The CMT has only one external pin called IRO. The pin is driven by the transmitter output when the
MCGEN bit in the CMTMSC register and the IROPEN bit in the CMTOC register are set. If the MCGEN
bit is clear and the IROPEN bit is set, the pin is driven by the IROL bit in the CMTOC register. This enables
user software to directly control the state of the IRO pin by writing to the IROL bit. If the IROPEN bit is
clear, the pin is disabled and is not driven by the CMT module. This is so the CMT can be configured as
a modulo timer for generating periodic interrupts without causing pin activity.
17.5
Functional Description
The CMT module consists of a carrier generator, a modulator, a transmitter output, and control registers.
The block diagram is shown in Figure 17-1. The module CMTCLK is derived from the bus clock.
17.5.1
Clock Control
The CMT clock (CMTCLK) is generated from a prescaler that is controlled by the CMTDIV[2:0] field
which is located across two registers, i.e., CMTOC register (see Section 17.7.2, “CMT Output Control
Register (CMTOC)”) and CMTMSC register (see Section 17.7.3, “CMT Modulator Status and Control
Register (CMTMSC)”). The prescaler is clocked by the bus clock which is typically 16MHz. Table 17-1
lists the divide ratio vs. the CMTDIV[2:0] field setting.
The CMT clock can also be disabled by the CMT bit of control register SCGC1, see Section 5.8.12,
“System Clock Gating Control 1 Register (SCGC1)”.

Operating Modes Overview
The module has three main modes of operation: time, baseband, and frequency shift keying (FSK). These
are shown in Figure 17-2.

Figure 17-2. CMT Operating Modes
17.5.2.1
Time Mode
When operating in time mode, the output pulse stream is a carrier signal where the carrier high and low
times are independently defined to determine both period and duty cycle. This frequency is developed in
the carrier generator and it is gated on and off by the modulator.
The best carrier generator resolution is 62.5 ns when operating with an 16 MHz bus frequency
(CMTDIV[2:0] =0; divide-by-1). The carrier generator can generate signals with periods between 125 ns
(8 MHz) and 31.875 s (31.37 kHz) in steps of 62.5 ns. See Table 17-1 for the minimum carrier generator
resolution and period. If a lower frequency is desired, the pre scale divide ratio may be increased with the
cost low a longer resolution time.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
17-3
Carrier Modulator Timer (CMT) Module
The possible duty cycle options will depend upon the number of counts required to complete the carrier
period. For example, a 1.6 MHz signal has a period of 625 ns and will therefore require 10 of the 62.5 nS
counts to generate. These counts may be split between high and low times, so various duty cycles are
available.
For lower frequency signals with larger periods, higher resolution (as a percentage of the total period) duty
cycles are possible.
The on/off times are also programmable in the modulator.
17.5.2.2
Baseband Mode
Baseband mode is a special version of time mode. The generator output is held continuously high and
allows the modulator output to directly drive the CMT output signal. The output signal is then determined
by the desired up time (mark) and down time (space) of the modulator.
17.5.2.3
FSK Mode
A third mode allows the carrier generator to alternate between two sets of high and low times (two different
frequencies). When operating in FSK mode, the generator toggles between the two frequency sets when
instructed by the modulator and requires no programming intervention.
The modulator can set different mark and space timing for the two FSK frequencies. The modulator
provides a simple method to control protocol timing. It can count bus clocks (to provide real-time control)
or it can count carrier clocks (for self-clocked protocols). See Section 17.5.4, “Modulator”, for more
details.
17.5.2.4
Mode Control and Options
In addition to the three common modes described above:
• These modes can be disabled, and the CMT output state can be controlled by a control register bit.
This allows a software managed output state.
• There is an option for extended “space” time between FSK pulses.
• The IRO output can be disabled and the timers used as a simple timing resource.
The modes are controlled primarily by the following control bits:
1. Modulator and Carrier Generator Enable (MCGEN) - this bit enables the carrier generator,
modulator, and clocks for normal operation. When disabled, the IRO output state can be set by
writing to the IROL control bit.
2. Baseband Enable (BASE) - when enabled the generator output is forced high and the output timing
is determined by the modulator
3. FSK Mode Select (FSK) - when set selects FSK mode. When clear, time/baseband mode is enabled
and modified by the BASE enable bit.
4. Extended Space Enable (EXSPC) - this is an optional feature that allows for extended time
(“space” time) between FSK pulses (“mark” time).
A summary of the possible modes is shown in Table 17-2.

Comment
To prevent spurious operation, initialize all data and control registers before beginning a transmission (MCGEN=1).
These bits are not double buffered and should not be changed during a transmission (while MCGEN=1).
17.5.3
Carrier Generator
The carrier generator block diagram is shown in Figure 17-3. The carrier signal is generated by counting
a register-selected number of CMTCLK input clocks (62.5 ns minimum period for an 16 MHz bus clock)
for both the carrier high time and the carrier low time. The period is determined by the total number of
clocks counted. The duty cycle is determined by the ratio of high time clocks to total clocks counted. The
high and low time values are user programmable and are held in two registers.
An alternate set of high/low count values is held in second set of registers to allow the generation of dual
frequency FSK (frequency shift keying) protocols without CPU intervention.
NOTE
Only non-zero data values are allowed. The carrier generator will not work
if any of the count values are equal to zero.
The MCGEN bit in the CMTMSC register must be set and the BASE bit must be cleared to enable carrier
generator clocks. When the BASE bit is set, the carrier output to the modulator is held high continuously.
The block diagram is shown in Figure 17-3.

The high/low time counter is an 8-bit up counter. After each increment, the contents of the counter are
compared with the appropriate high or low count value register. When the compare value is reached, the
counter is reset to a value of 0x01, and the compare is redirected to the other count value register.
Assuming that the high time count compare register is currently active, a valid compare will cause the
carrier output to be driven low. The counter will continue to increment (starting at reset value of 0x01).
When the value stored in the selected low count value register is reached, the counter will again be reset
and the carrier output will be driven high.
The cycle repeats, automatically generating a periodic signal that is directed to the modulator. The lowest
frequency (maximum period) and highest frequency (minimum period) that can be generated are defined
as:
fmax = fCMTCLK / (2 x 1) Hz
Eqn. 17-1
fmin = fCMTCLK / (2 x (28 – 1)) Hz
Eqn. 17-2
In the general case, the carrier generator output frequency is:
fCG = fCMTCLK / (Highcount + Lowcount) Hz

The duty cycle of the carrier signal is controlled by varying the ratio of high time to low-plus-high time.
As the input clock period is fixed, the duty cycle resolution will be proportional to the number of counts
required to generate the desired carrier period.
Highcount
Duty Cycle = --------------------------------------------------------------------Highcount + Lowcount
17.5.4
Eqn. 17-4
Modulator
The modulator block diagram is shown in Figure 17-4. The modulator has three main modes of operation:
• Gate the carrier onto the modulator output (time mode)
• Control the logic level of the modulator output (baseband mode)
• Count carrier periods and instruct the carrier generator to alternate between two carrier frequencies
whenever a modulation period (mark + space counts) expires (FSK mode)
The modulator includes a 17-bit down counter with underflow detection. The counter is loaded from the
16-bit modulation mark period buffer registers, CMTCMD1 and CMTCMD2. The most significant bit is
loaded with a logic zero and serves as a sign bit. When the counter holds a positive value, the modulator
gate is open and the carrier signal is driven to the transmitter block.
When the counter underflows, the modulator gate is closed and a 16-bit comparator is enabled that
compares the logical complement of the value of the down-counter with the contents of the modulation
space period register (which has been loaded from the registers CMTCMD3 and CMTCMD4).
When a match is obtained the cycle repeats by opening the modulator gate, reloading the counter with the
contents of CMTCMD1 and CMTCMD2, and reloading the modulation space period register with the
contents of CMTCMD3 and CMTCMD4.
If the contents of the modulation space period register are all zeroes, the match will be immediate and no
space period will be generated (for instance, for FSK protocols that require successive bursts of different
frequencies).
The MCGEN bit in the CMTMSC register must be set to enable the modulator timer.
NOTE
The CMTCLK input is then prescaled by a divide ratio of 8 before clocking
the modulator counters. The minimum clock period for the modulator then
is 62.5 ns times 8 or 500 ns.

Modulator Time Mode
When the modulator operates in time mode (MCGEN bit is set, BASE bit is clear, and FSK bit is clear),
the modulation mark period consists of an integer number of CMTCLK/8 clock periods. The modulation
space period consists of zero or an integer number of CMTCLK/8 clock periods. With an 16 MHz bus and
CMTDIV[2:0] = 00, the modulator resolution is 0.5 s and has a maximum mark and space period of
about 32.767 ms each. See Figure 17-5 for an example of the time mode and baseband mode outputs.
The mark and space time equations for time and baseband mode are:
tmark = (CMTCMD1:CMTCMD2 + 1) / (fCMTCLK / 8)
Eqn. 17-5
tspace = CMTCMD3:CMTCMD4 / (fCMTCLK / 8)
Eqn. 17-6
where CMTCMD1:CMTCMD2 and CMTCMD3:CMTCMD4 are the decimal values of the concatenated
registers.
NOTE
If the modulator is disabled while the tmark time is less than the programmed
carrier high time (tmark < CMTCGH1/fCMTCLK), the modulator can enter
into an illegal state and end the current cycle before the programmed value.
Make sure to program tmark greater than the carrier high time to avoid this
illegal state.

Modulator Baseband Mode
Baseband mode (MCGEN bit is set and BASE bit is set) is a derivative of time mode, where the mark and
space period is based on (CMTCLK / 8) counts. The mark and space calculations are the same as in time
mode. In this mode the modulator output will be at a logic 1 for the duration of the mark period and at a
logic 0 for the duration of a space period. See Figure 17-5 for an example of the output for both baseband
and time modes. In the example, the carrier out frequency (fCG) is generated with a high count of 0x01 and
a low count of 0x02, which results in a divide of 3 of CMTCLK with a 33 percent duty cycle. The
modulator down-counter was loaded with the value 0x0003 and the space period register with 0x0002.

relationships between the signals shown.
17.5.4.3
Modulator FSK Mode
When the modulator operates in FSK mode (MCGEN bit is set, FSK bit is set, and BASE bit is clear), the
modulation mark and space periods consist of an integer number of carrier clocks (space period can be 0).
When the mark period expires, the space period is transparently started (as in time mode). The carrier
generator toggles between primary and secondary data register values whenever the modulator space
period expires.

Carrier Modulator Timer (CMT) Module
The space period provides an interpulse gap (no carrier). If CMTCMD3:CMTCMD4 = 0x0000, then the
modulator and carrier generator will switch between carrier frequencies without a gap or any carrier
glitches (zero space).
Using timing data for carrier burst and interpulse gap length calculated by the CPU, FSK mode can
automatically generate a phase-coherent, dual-frequency FSK signal with programmable burst and
interburst gaps.
The mark and space time equations for FSK mode are:
tmark = (CMTCMD1:CMTCMD2 + 1) / fCG
Eqn. 17-7
tspace = CMTCMD3:CMTCMD4 / fCG
Eqn. 17-8
Where fCG is the frequency output from the carrier generator. The example in Figure 17-6 shows what the
IRO pin output looks like in FSK mode with the following values: CMTCMD1:CMTCMD2 = 0x0003,
CMTCMD3:CMTCMD4 = 0x0002, primary carrier high count = 0x01, primary carrier low count = 0x02,
secondary carrier high count = 0x03, and secondary carrier low count = 0x01.

Extended Space Operation
In time, baseband, or FSK mode, the space period can be made longer than the maximum possible value
of the space period register. Setting the EXSPC bit in the CMTMSC register will force the modulator to
treat the next modulation period (beginning with the next load of the counter and space period register) as
a space period equal in length to the mark and space counts combined. Subsequent modulation periods will
consist entirely of these extended space periods with no mark periods. Clearing EXSPC will return the
modulator to standard operation at the beginning of the next modulation period.

EXSPC Operation in Time Mode
To calculate the length of an extended space in time or baseband modes, add the mark and space times and
multiply by the number of modulation periods that EXSPC is set.
texspace = tspace + (tmark + tspace) x (number of modulation periods)
Eqn. 17-9
For an example of extended space operation, see Figure 17-7.
NOTE
The EXSPC feature can be used to emulate a zero mark event.

17.5.5.2
EXSPC Operation in FSK Mode
In FSK mode, the modulator continues to count carrier out clocks, alternating between the primary and
secondary registers at the end of each modulation period.
To calculate the length of an extended space in FSK mode, the user must know whether the EXSPC bit
was set on a primary or secondary modulation period, as well as the total number of both primary and
secondary modulation periods completed while the EXSPC bit is high. A status bit for the current
modulation is not accessible to the CPU. If necessary, software should maintain tracking of the current
modulation cycle (primary or secondary). The extended space period ends at the completion of the space
period time of the modulation period during which the EXSPC bit is cleared.
If the EXSPC bit was set during a primary modulation cycle, use the equation:
texspace = (tspace)p + (tmark + tspace)s + (tmark + tspace)p +...
Eqn. 17-10
Where the subscripts p and s see mark and space times for the primary and secondary modulation cycles.
If the EXSPC bit was set during a secondary modulation cycle, use the equation:
texspace = (tspace)s + (tmark + tspace)p + (tmark + tspace)s +...
17.5.6
Eqn. 17-11
Transmitter
The transmitter output block controls the state of the infrared out pin (IRO). The modulator output is gated
to the IRO pin when the modulator/carrier generator is enabled. When the modulator/carrier generator is
disabled, the IRO pin is controlled by the state of the IRO latch.
A polarity bit in the CMTOC register enables the IRO pin to be high true or low true.

Carrier Modulator Timer (CMT) Module
17.5.7
CMT Interrupts
The CMT has only one source of an interrupt request which is the end of cycle flag (EOCF). This status
flag is set when:
• The modulator is not currently active and the MCGEN bit is set to begin the initial CMT
transmission
• At the end of each modulation cycle (when the counter is reloaded from CMTCMD1:CMTCMD2)
while the MCGEN bit is set
In the case where the MCGEN bit is cleared and then set before the end of the modulation cycle, the EOCF
bit will not be set when the MCGEN is set, but will become set at the end of the current modulation cycle.
When the MCGEN becomes disabled, the CMT module does not set the EOC flag at the end of the last
modulation cycle.
The EOCF bit is cleared by reading the CMT modulator status and control register (CMTMSC) followed
by an access of CMTCMD2 or CMTCMD4.
If the EOC interrupt enable (EOCIE) bit is high when the EOCF bit is set, the CMT module will generate
an interrupt request. The EOCF bit must be cleared within the interrupt service routine to prevent another
interrupt from being generated after exiting the interrupt service routine.
The EOC interrupt is coincident with loading the down-counter with the contents of
CMTCMD1:CMTCMD2 and loading the space period register with the contents of
CMTCMD3:CMTCMD4. The EOC interrupt provides a means for the user to reload new mark/space
values into the modulator data registers. Modulator data register updates will take effect at the end of the
current modulation cycle. Note that the down-counter and space period register are updated at the end of
every modulation cycle, regardless of interrupt handling and the state of the EOCF flag.
NOTE
If the CMT output is disabled, the CMT can be programmed for operation
and still generate a corresponding status. This mode may be used as a
cyclical timer to supplement other device timing resources.
17.6
Modes of Operation
The CMT is affected by the device mode of operation and the module clock can be disabled:
• For lower power, the CMT module clock can be disabled via the SPI control bit of the SCGC1
Register
• LPRun - the reference oscillator is divided by 64 and all clocks are scaled by this factor. It is
recommended to disable the CMT during this mode as all frequencies and timing changes
accordingly.
• Wait modes - there are two wait modes
— Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs at normal speed .
The CMT, if enabled, will continue to operate normally. However, there will be no new codes
or changes of pattern mode while in wait mode, because the CPU is not operating.

17-12
Freescale Semiconductor
Carrier Modulator Timer (CMT) Module
•
•
— LP Wait - when entered, the CPU clock is disabled and the bus clock still runs but at a reduced
speed. The CMT, if enabled, will continue to operate, however, all timing would be incorrect.
Operation is not recommended.
The CMT is disabled in Stop3 mode, regardless of the settings before executing the STOP
instruction.
— During Stop3 mode, clocks to the CMT module are halted. No registers are affected. If Stop3
is exited with a reset, the CMT will be put into its reset state. If Stop3 is exited with an interrupt,
the CMT will resume operation. Software should ensure Stop3 mode is not entered while the
modulator is in operation to prevent the IRO pin from being asserted while in stop mode. This
may require a time-out period from the time that the MCGEN bit is cleared to allow the last
modulator cycle to complete.
Background Mode Operation -When the microcontroller is in active background mode, the CMT
temporarily suspends all counting until the microcontroller returns to normal user mode.

Introduction
The MC13234/MC13237 provides a comprehensive debug/development capability for the HCS08 MCU.
The debug system is implemented using two blocks:
• The Background Debug Controller (BDC) - has a single-wire debug interface (signal BKGD) to
the MCU that provides a convenient interface for programming the on-chip flash and other
nonvolatile memories. The BDC is also the primary debug interface for development and allows
non-intrusive access to memory data and traditional debug features such as CPU register modify,
breakpoints, and single instruction trace commands.
• The on-chip Debug Module (DBG) - implements an on-chip ICE (in-circuit emulation) system and
allows non-intrusive debug of application software by providing an on-chip trace buffer with
flexible triggering capability
The single-wire background debug interface supports in-circuit programming of on-chip nonvolatile
memory and sophisticated non-intrusive debug capabilities that does not interfere with normal application
resources. It does not use any user memory or locations in the memory map and does not share any on-chip
peripherals.
Because the MC13234/MC13237 does not have external address and data buses, the most important
functions of an in-circuit emulator have been built onto the chip with the MCU. The debug system consists
of an 8-stage FIFO that can store address or data bus information, and a flexible trigger system to decide
when to capture bus information and what information to capture. The system relies on the single-wire
background debug system to access debug control registers and to read results out of the eight stage FIFO.
The debug module includes control and status registers that are accessible in the user’s memory map.
These registers are located in the high register space to avoid using valuable direct page memory space.
Most of the debug module’s functions are used during development, and user programs rarely access any
of the control and status registers for the debug module.
18.1.1
Features
Features of the background debug controller (BDC) include:
• Single pin for mode selection and background communications
• BDC registers are not located in the memory map
• SYNC command to determine target communications rate
• Non-intrusive commands for memory access
• Active background mode commands for CPU register access

Features of the debug module (DBG) include:
• Two trigger comparators:
— Two address + read/write (R/W)
— One full address + data + R/W
• Flexible 8-word by 16-bit FIFO (first-in, first-out) buffer for capture information:
— Change-of-flow addresses

• Two types of breakpoints:
— Tag breakpoints for instruction opcodes
— Force breakpoints for any address access

— A then B
— A AND B data (full mode)
— A AND NOT B data (full mode)
— Event-only B (store data)
— A then event-only B (store data)
— Inside range (A  address  B)
— Outside range (address < A or address > B)
18.1.2
Forcing Active Background Mode
Active background mode can be forced as follows:
• After a power-on reset by holding the BKGD pin low as the device exits the reset condition.
• By driving BKGD low immediately after a serial background command that writes a one to the
BDFR bit in the SBDFR register.
Other causes of reset including an external pin reset or an internally generated error reset ignore the state
of the BKGD pin and reset into normal user mode. If no debug pod is connected to the BKGD pin, the
MCU will always reset into normal operating mode

18.1.3
Debug Clock
The Bus Clock (default 16 MHz) is the source clock to the BDG and the debug port. The bus clock to the
DBG can be gated on and off using the DBG bit in SCGC2. This bit is set after any reset, which enables
the bus clock to this module. To conserve power, the DBG bit can be cleared to disable the clock to this
module when not in use. See Section 5.4.4, “Managing Clock Resources”, for details.

Background Debug Controller (BDC)
The BDC module operation and registers are described in the following description
18.2.1
BDC Overview
The MC13234/MC13237 BDC module provides a single-wire background debug interface that supports
in-circuit programming of on-chip nonvolatile memory and sophisticated non-intrusive debug capabilities.
It does not interfere with normal application resources and does not use any user memory or locations in
the memory map and does not share any on-chip peripherals.

Figure 18-1. Block Diagram
BDC commands are divided into two groups:
• Active background mode commands require that the target MCU is in active background mode (the
user program is not running). Active background mode commands allow the CPU registers to be
read or written, and allow the user to trace one user instruction at a time, or GO to the user program
from active background mode.
• Non-intrusive commands can be executed at any time even while the user’s program is running.
Non-intrusive commands allow a user to read or write MCU memory locations or access status and
control registers within the background debug controller.

Development Support
Typically, a relatively simple interface pod is used to translate commands from a host computer into
commands for the custom serial interface to the single-wire background debug system. Depending on the
development tool vendor, this interface pod may use a standard RS-232 serial port, a parallel printer port,
or some other type of communications such as a universal serial bus (USB) to communicate between the
host PC and the pod.
18.2.3
Standard Debug (BDM) Port
The single pin serial debug communications port is connected to the BDC and uses external signal BKGD.
Typically, a simple debug interface pod is connected to the BDM port (see Figure 18-2) and is used to
translate commands from a host computer to the single-wire, serial interface background debug port.
• The pod typically connects to the MC13234/MC13237 through a standardized port with ground,
the BKGD pin, RESET, and VDD connections.
• If used, the RESET is an open-drain drive to the MC13234/MC13237 reset input that allows the
host to force a target system hardware reset, which is useful to regain control of a lost target system
or to control startup of a target system before the on-chip nonvolatile memory has been
programmed.
• VDD is the target system supply voltage and is not required. However, VDD can be used to supply
pod power from the target system to avoid the need for a separate power supply. If the pod is
powered separately, it can be connected to a running target system without forcing a target system
reset or otherwise disturbing the running application program.

BKGD Pin Description
BKGD is the single-wire background debug interface pin. The primary function of this pin is for
bidirectional serial communication of active background mode commands and data. During reset, this pin
is used to select between starting in active background mode or starting the user’s application program.
This pin is also used to request a timed sync response pulse to allow a host development tool to determine
the correct clock frequency for background debug serial communications.

sent most significant bit first (MSB first).
If a host is attempting to communicate with a target MCU that has an unknown BDC clock rate, a SYNC
command may be sent to the target MCU to request a timed sync response signal from which the host can
determine the correct communication speed.
BKGD is a pseudo-open-drain pin and has an on-chip pullup so no external pullup resistor is required.
Unlike typical open-drain pins, the external RC time constant on this pin, which is influenced by external
capacitance, plays almost no role in signal rise time. The custom protocol provides for brief, actively
driven speedup pulses to force rapid rise times on this pin without risking harmful drive level conflicts.
The source of this speedup pulse is the host for transmit cases and the target for receive cases.
When no debugger pod is connected to the 6-pin BDM interface connector, the internal pullup on BKGD
chooses normal operating mode. When a debug pod is connected to BKGD it is possible to force the MCU
into active background mode after reset. It is not necessary to reset the target MCU to communicate with
it through the background debug interface.

Serial Interface Communication Protocol
The communication channel protocol and timing are described in the following sections.
18.2.5.1
General Command protocol
As previously stated, the communication channel uses a single-wire interface that has a command protocol
implemented on it. Figure 18-4 shows a generalized top-level command protocol.
• All commands are initiated by the host
• The host to the target command includes — Always an 8-bit command opcode
— Any additional command information (if required) - 1) address alone , or 2) address and data

Serial Bit Timing
The serial command protocol is composed of individual “serial bits” with timing as described in this
section. For each serial bit of data:
NOTE
BKGD is a pseudo-open-drain pin that can be driven either by an external
controller or by the MCU
•
•
•
The external controller generates a falling edge on the BKGD pin to indicate the start of each bit
time. The external controller provides this falling edge whether data is transmitted or received.
Data is transferred MSB first at 16 BDC clock cycles per bit (nominal speed).
The interface times out if 512 BDC clock cycles occur between falling edges from the host. Any
BDC command that was in progress when this time-out occurs is aborted without affecting the
memory or operating mode of the target MCU system.
The protocol requires the debug pod to know the target BDC communication clock speed. For the
MC13234/MC13237 the serial interface runs from the Bus Clock; the bus clock is 1/2 the reference
oscillator frequency or 16MHz.
•
•
NOTE
The MC13234/MC13237 reference oscillator must be running for the
BDM port to be functional.
When the BDM port is not in used, the bus clock to the DBG can be
gated on and off using the DBG bit in SCGC2. This bit is set after any
reset, which enables the bus clock to this module. To conserve power,
the DBG bit can be cleared to disable the clock to this module when not
in use. See Section 5.4.4, “Managing Clock Resources” for details.

The clock switch (CLKSW) control bit in the BDC status and control register allows the user to select the
BDC clock source. The BDC clock source can either be the bus or the alternate BDC clock source.
The target BKGD pin can receive a high or low level or transmit a high or low level. The following
diagrams show timing for each of these cases. Interface timing is synchronous to clocks in the target BDC,
but asynchronous to the external host. The internal BDC clock signal is shown for reference in counting
cycles.
18.2.5.2.1
Host-to-Target Bit Timing
Figure 18-5 shows an external host transmitting a logic 1 or 0 to the BKGD pin of a target. The host is
asynchronous to the target so there is a 0-to-1 cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge to where
the target perceives the beginning of the bit time. Ten target BDC clock cycles later, the target senses the
bit level on the BKGD pin. Typically, the host actively drives the BKGD pin during host-to-target
transmissions to speed up rising edges. Because the target does not drive the BKGD pin during the
host-to-target transmission period, there is no need to treat the line as an open-drain signal during this
period.

Figure 18-6 shows the host retrieving a logic 1 from the target. The host must hold the BKGD pin low,
typically for 4 clock cycles, which is enough for the target to recognize the neg-edge in the BKPD pin (it
should be at least two target clock cycles). After perceiving the neg-edge the target waits for seven target
clock cycles and then issues a speed-up pulse for one cycle. Note that, the host must release the BKGD pin
before the target drives the high speedup pulse, seven clock cycles after the perceived start of the bit time,
otherwise a conflict will occur. The host should sample the BKGD pin about 10 clock cycles after it started
the bit time to evaluate if it is a logic 1 or logic 0 bit retrieve.

18.2.5.3
Handshake Protocol using ACK
Because BDC commands are executed at the target bus rate and can be asynchronous to the serial interface
clock, a handshake or acknowledge signal (ACK) is provided to the host to determine when an issued
command has been executed by the target. Refer to Figure 18-4.
Figure 18-8 show the ACK pulse timing. The ACK is implemented as a 16 serial clock cycles low pulse
followed by a brief speedup pulse on the BKGD pin, generated by the target when a command had been
successfully executed.
• After the ACK pulse has finished, the host can start the bit retrieve, if the last issued command was
a read command, or start a new command, if the last command was a write command or a control
command (BACKGROUND, GO, GO_UNTIL or TRACE1).
• The ACK pulse is not issued any earlier then 32 serial clock cycles after the BDC command was
issued.
• The end of the BDC command is assumed to be the 16th tick of the last bit. This minimum delay
assures enough time for the host to perceive the ACK pulse.
NOTE
There is no upper limit for the delay between the command and the related
ACK pulse.
•
If a BDC command is not acknowledged by an ACK pulse, the host must first abort the pending
command before issuing a new BDC command. - When the CPU enters Wait or Stop mode while
the host issues a command that requires CPU execution (e.g.: WRITE_BYTE), the target discards
the incoming command. Therefore, the command is not acknowledged by the target, which means
that the ACK pulse will not be issued in this case.

18.2.5.4
Hardware Handshake Abort Procedure
If a BDC command has not been acknowledged, an abort procedure must be executed before issuing a new
command. The abort procedure is based on the SYNC command, which is really a timed Low pulse. To
execute the SYNC command, the host controller should generate a low pulse in the BKGD pin by driving
it low for at least 128 serial clock cycles and then driving it high for one serial clock cycle for the speedup
pulse. By detecting this long low pulse in the BKGD pin, the target executes the SYNC protocol, and
assumes that the pending command and therefore the related ACK pulse, are being aborted. After the
SYNC protocol completes, the host is free to issue new BDC commands. Figure 18-9 illustrates a SYNC
command aborting a READ_BYTE. Note that after the command is aborted, a new command could be
issued by the host computer.
It is important to notice that any issued BDC command that requires CPU execution will be executed at
the next instruction boundary, provided the CPU does not enter Wait or Stop modes. If the host aborts a
command by sending the SYNC pulse, it should then read the BDCSCR after the SYNC response is issued
by the target, checking for DVF = 0, before attempting to send any new command that requires CPU
execution. This prevents the new command from being discarded at the BDC-CPU interface, due to the
pending command being executed by the CPU. Any new command should be issued only after DVF = 0.
There are two reasons that could cause a command to take too long to be executed, measured in terms of
the serial communication rate. Either the BDC clock frequency is much faster if compared to the CPU
clock frequency, or the CPU is accessing a slow memory, which would cause suspend cycles to occur. The
hardware handshake protocol is appropriate for both situations, but the host could also decide to use the
software handshake protocol instead. In this case, if the DVF bit is at logic 1, there is a BDC command
pending at the BDC-CPU interface. The host controller should monitor the DVF bit and wait until it is at
logic 0 to be able to issue a new command that requires CPU execution. Note that the WSF BDCSCR bit
should be at logic 0 in this case. However, if WSF bit was at logic 1, the host should assume the last
command failed due to a WAIT or STOP instruction being executed by the CPU. In this case, the host
controller should enable background mode and then issue a BACKGROUND command to put the CPU
into background mode. After that, new commands could be issued, including those that require CPU
execution.
Figure 18-9 shows a SYNC command aborting a READ_BYTE. Note that after the command is aborted,
a new command could be issued by the host computer.

Figure 18-10 shows a conflict between the ACK pulse and the SYNC request pulse. This conflict could
occur if a POD device is connected to the target BKGD pin and the target is already in debug mode.
Consider that the target CPU is executing a pending BDC command at the exact moment the POD is being
connected to the BKGD pin. In this case an ACK pulse is issued along with the SYNC command. In this
case there is an electrical conflict between the ACK speedup pulse and the SYNC pulse. Because this is
not a probable situation, the protocol does not prevent this conflict from happening.

Figure 18-10. ACK Pulse and SYNC Request Conflict
The hardware handshake protocol is enabled by the ACK_ENABLE and disabled by the ACK_DISABLE
BDC commands, providing backwards compatibility with old POD devices, which may not support the
hardware handshake protocol. It also allows for new POD devices supporting the hardware handshake
protocol to freely communicate with the target device without the need for waiting for the ACK pulse, if
desired. The commands are described as follows:
•
ACK_ENABLE - enables the hardware handshake protocol. The target will issue the ACK pulse
when a CPU command is executed by the CPU. The ACK_ENABLE command itself also has the
ACK pulse as a response.
•
ACK_DISABLE - disables the ACK pulse protocol. In this case the host should verify the state of
the DVF bit in the BDC Status and Control register to evaluate if there are pending commands and
to check if the CPU changed to or from background mode.
The default state of the protocol, after reset, is hardware handshake protocol disabled.
The commands that do not require CPU execution, or that have the status register included in the retrieved
bit stream, do not perform the hardware handshake protocol. Therefore, the target will not respond with an
ACK pulse for those commands even if the hardware protocol was enabled. The commands are:
READ_STATUS, WRITE_CONTROL, WRITE_BWS, READ_BWS, READ_NWS, WRITE_NWS,
WRITE_BKPT, READ_BKPT, READ_LAST and ACK_DISABLE.

NOTE
The TAGGO command does not have the ACK pulse as a response. Except
by the ACK pulse, this command is equivalent to the GO command. It is
being implemented for compatibility with previous BDC versions. The
HCS08 core does not provide support for external tag using the BKGD pin.
Only commands that require CPU execution perform the hardware handshake protocol. These commands
are: WRITE_BYTE, READ_BYTE, WRITE_NEXT, READ_NEXT, WRITE_A, READ_A,
WRITE_CCR, READ_CCR, WRITE_SP, READ_SP, WRITE_HX, READ_HX, WRITE_PC,
READ_PC. An exception is the ACK_ENABLE, which does not require CPU execution but responds with
the ACK pulse. This feature could be used by the host to evaluate if the target supports the hardware
handshake protocol. If an ACK pulse is issued in response to this command, the host knows that the target
supports the hardware handshake protocol. If the target does not support the hardware handshake protocol
the ACK pulse is not issued. In this case the ACK_ENABLE command is ignored by the target, because
it is not recognized as a valid command.
The BACKGROUND command will issue an ACK pulse when the CPU changes from normal to
background mode. The ACK pulse related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The GO command will issue an ACK pulse when the CPU exits from background mode. The ACK pulse
related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The TRACE1 command has the related ACK pulse issued when the CPU enters background active mode
after one instruction of the application program is executed. The ACK pulse related to this command could
be aborted using the SYNC command.
The GO_UNTIL command is equivalent to a GO command with exception that the ACK pulse, in this
case, is issued when the CPU enters into background mode. This command is an alternative to the GO
command and should be used if the host wants to trace if a breakpoint match had occurred which caused
the CPU to enter background mode. Note that the ACK is issued whenever the CPU enters BDM, which
could be caused by a BDC Breakpoint match, or an external force/tag, or by a BGND instruction being
executed. The ACK pulse related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The TAGGO command is equivalent to the GO command, but will not have an ACK pulse as a response.
This command is being kept for backwards compatibility reasons. It is expected that the GO command to
be used instead.
18.2.5.5
Serial Communication Time-out
The host initiates a host-to-target serial transmission by generating a falling edge on the BKGD pin. If
BKGD is kept low for more than 128 target clock cycles, the target understands that a SYNC command
was issued. In this case, the target will keep waiting for a rising edge on BKGD to answer the SYNC
request pulse. If the rising edge is not detected, the target will keep waiting forever, without any time-out
limit.
Consider now the case where the host returns BKGD to logic one before 128 cycles. This is interpreted as
a valid bit transmission, and not as a SYNC request. The target will keep waiting for another falling edge
marking the start of a new bit. If, however, a new falling edge is not detected by the target within 512 clock

18-12
Freescale Semiconductor
Development Support
cycles since the last falling edge, a time-out occurs and the current command is discarded without affecting
memory or the operating mode of the MCU. This is referred to as a soft-reset.
If a read command is issued but the data is not retrieved within 512 serial clock cycles a soft-reset will
occur causing the command to be disregarded. The data is not available for retrieving after the time-out
had occurred. This is the expected behavior if the handshake protocol is not enabled. However, consider
the behavior where the BDC is running in a frequency much greater than the CPU frequency. In this case,
the command could time-out before the data is ready to be retrieved. To allow the data to be retrieved even
with a large clock frequency mismatch, between BDC and CPU, when the hardware handshake protocol
is enabled the time-out between a read command and the data retrieve is disabled. Therefore, the host could
wait for more then 512 serial clock cycles and still be able to retrieve the data from an issued read
command. However, after the handshake pulse is issued, the time-out feature is re-activated, meaning that
the target will time-out after 512 clock cycles. Therefore, the host needs to retrieve the data within a 512
serial clock cycles time frame after the ACK pulse had been issued. After that period the read command
is discarded and the data is no longer available for retrieve. Any neg-edge in the BKGD pin after the
time-out period is considered to be a new command or a SYNC request.
NOTE
Whenever a partially issued command, or partially retrieved data had
occurred, the time-out in the serial communication is active, meaning that,
if a time frame higher than 512 serial clock cycles is observed between two
consecutive negedges and the command being issued or data being retrieved
is not completed, a soft-reset will occur causing the partially received
command or data retrieve to be disregarded. The next negedge in the BKGD
pin, after the soft-reset had occurred, is considered by the target as the start
of a new BDC command, or the start of a SYNC request pulse.

The BDC provides two registers that can be accessed and modified with dedicated BDC commands: the
BDC Status and Control Register (BDCSCR) and the BDC Breakpoint Register (BDCBKPT). These
registers are not located in the memory space of the MCU (i.e., do not have addresses) and cannot be
accessed by user programs. They can only be accessed by the host computer through the serial single-wire

BDMACT
Background Debug Mode Active. This is a read-only status bit. This status bit is controlled by the CPU, and
indicates if background debug mode is active. When this bit is set to logic one the BDMEN bit cannot not be
written by WRITE_CONTROL commands. Upon reset, while the CPU is executing the reset sequence, this bit
is a logic zero. If, however, during reset the BKGD pin was held low commanding “BDM out of reset”, soon after
the reset sequence finishes, the CPU will enter background mode (provided no higher priority exception is
present) and the BDMACT bit will be set to logic one.
1 = CPU is in background debug mode.
0 = CPU is not in background debug mode.

BKPTEN
Breakpoint Enable bit. This is a read/write control bit. If this bit is set to logic one, the BDC breakpoint functionality

FTS
Force/Tag Select bit. This is a read/write control bit. If this bit is set to logic one, a breakpoint is requested
whenever a valid address in the CPU address bus matches the value in the BDCBKPT register. If this bit is set
to logic zero, a match between the address of a fetched opcode and the BDCBKPT register causes the fetched
opcode to be tagged. If this tagged opcode ever reaches the top of the instruction pipe unit, the CPU enters
background debug mode rather than executing the tagged opcode.
1 = Breakpoint match forces background debug mode at the next instruction boundary (provided no higher
priority events are present.)
0 = Tag opcode at breakpoint address and enter background debug mode if the CPU attempts to execute that
instruction (provided no higher priority event is present.)

CLKSW
Clock Switch bit. This is a read/write control bit. This bit controls the bypass mode of the BDC Local Oscillator
block. If it is set to logic zero the BDC Local Oscillator is engaged setting the rate for the serial communication
to be the BDC Local Oscillator rate. If it is set to logic one, the BDC Local Oscillator is disengaged, setting the
ext_lclk output clock signal to be connected to the ext_clk24 MCU clock signal. In this case the BDC serial rate
is the CPU frequency.
1 = Communication frequency is ext_clk24.
0 = Communication frequency is ext_lclk (BDC Local Oscillator frequency).

WS
Wait/Stop bit. This is a read-only status bit. This status bit is controlled by the CPU and indicates that the CPU is
in Wait/Stop mode, or the CPU exited Wait/Stop mode into background debug mode via a BACKGROUND
command.
1 = CPU is in Wait/Stop mode, or the CPU exited Wait/Stop mode into background debug mode via a
BACKGROUND command.
0 = CPU is not in Wait/Stop mode.
1
WSF
Wait/Stop Failure. This is a read-only status bit. This bit indicates that a foreground memory command failed
because the CPU was in Wait or Stop mode or was about to enter one of these modes. The recovery strategy is
to put the CPU in BDM active mode and re-issue the command in background mode.
1 = Foreground memory command failed because the CPU entered Wait of Stop mode.
0 = Foreground memory command did not conflict with Wait or Stop mode.
0
DVF
Data Valid Failure. This is a read-only status bit. This bit indicates that a CPU command failed or is pending. The
recovery strategy is to issue READ_LAST (for read accesses) or READ_STATUS (for write accesses)
commands until the status information indicates the CPU command had executed successfully.
1 = CPU command failed.
0 = CPU command executed successfully.
NOTE
The DVF bit is asserted also by the CPU registers access commands. This
behavior allows to execute the software handshake protocol when accessing
CPU registers. The READ_LAST instruction should be used to access the
last accessed CPU registers data, available after the DVF bit is cleared. Note
that the READ_LAST instruction returns 16 bit data only. For 8-bit register
read commands only the first byte transmitted should be considered as valid
data, the second byte has no meaning in this case.

the correlation between the CNT bits and the amount of valid data in FIFO. The CNT will stop after a count to
eight even if more data is being stored in the FIFO. The CNT bits are cleared when the DBG module is armed,
and the count increments each time a new word is captured into the FIFO. The host development system is
responsible for checking the value in CNT[3:0] and reading the correct number of words from the FIFO because
the count does not decrement as data is read out of the FIFO at the end of a trace run.

Functional Description
18.4.1
18.4.1.1
BDC Functional Description
Background Debug Mode
The Background Debug Controller provides five methods to enter background debug mode provided the
mode is enabled via the ENBDM bit. Each of these methods is described below.
18.4.1.1.1
BACKGROUND command
The usual way to get into Background Debug Mode, after the mode is enabled, is by issuing a
BACKGROUND command from the host. This causes the BDC to issue a request to the CPU to enter
background debug mode. This request is handled by the CPU at instruction boundaries according to the
event priority.
The request to enter background debug mode interrupts the normal program flow and forces the CPU to
execute a BGND instruction. Upon entering background debug mode, the CPU sets the BDMACT bit in
the BDC status and control register. While in background debug mode, the ENBDM bit in the BDC status
and control register cannot be cleared through WRITE_CONTROL commands. Both foreground and
background commands can be executed while the CPU is in background debug mode. However, only
foreground commands can be executed in normal mode (i.e., user code running). Normal program flow
can be resumed with a GO, TRACE1, TAGGO or GO_UNTIL command. Execution starts with the
instruction that would have been executed had the BGND instruction not been forced, provided the
program counter is not altered while in background debug mode and no higher priority events are pending.
If the hardware handshake protocol is enabled, an ACK pulse is issued by the target as soon as the target
CPU enters background mode due to a BACKGROUND BDC instruction. The handshake abort procedure
should be used if the host decides to send a new BDC command before the ACK pulse is issued by the
target.
18.4.1.1.2
Hardware Breakpoint
The second method of entering background mode consists of using the hardware breakpoint functionality
of the BDC. To use the hardware breakpoint, the user must enable it by writing a logic one to the BKPTEN
bit in the BDCSCR register. This can be accomplished by issuing a WRITE_CONTROL command from
the host. Note that the ENBDM bit in the BDCSCR register must be a logic one to use the breakpoint
functionality. If ENBDM is a logic zero, the hardware breakpoint will not issue requests to the CPU
regardless of the value of BKPTEN.
The user can set a breakpoint address in the BDCBKPT register by issuing a WRITE_BKPT command.
The contents of the BDCBKPT register can be read by issuing the complementary READ_BKPT
command. The breakpoint circuitry of the BDC requests the CPU to enter background debug mode
whenever the contents of the BDCBKPT register match a valid address in the address bus. This request
can be generated in two different ways depending on the configuration of the breakpoint functionality.
The user should write a logic one to the FTS bit when he wishes to enter background debug mode as a
result of any valid access (read or write) to the breakpoint address. Under this configuration, if a valid
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
18-32
Freescale Semiconductor
Development Support
address in the address bus matches the contents of the BDCBKPT register, the BDC requests the CPU to
enter background mode. As described before, this forces the CPU to execute a BGND instruction on an
instruction boundary if no higher priority events are pending.
Alternatively, the user should write a logic zero to the FTS bit when he wishes to enter background debug
mode instead of executing a specific instruction in the program sequence. Under this configuration, if the
address of a program read matches the contents of the BDCBKPT register, the BDC indicates to the CPU
that it should enter background debug mode when the current instruction in the read data bus reaches the
top of the instruction pipe. This is referred to as instruction tagging. If the data in the read data bus is tagged
but is not an instruction (due to user error) the request is ignored.
Note that while background debug mode is active, the breakpoint functionality is disabled. This implies
that while background debug mode is active the breakpoint functionality will not issue requests to the
CPU.
As in the first case, normal program flow can be resumed with a GO, TRACE1, TAGGO or GO_UNTIL
command. Execution starts with the instruction that would have been executed had the BGND instruction
not been forced, provided the PC is not altered while in background debug mode and no higher priority
events are pending.
If the hardware handshake protocol is enabled, an ACK pulse is issued by the target as soon as the target
CPU enters background mode, provide the GO_UNTIL command had been used to put the CPU in normal
mode. The SYNC command should be used if the host decides to send a new BDC command before the
ACK pulse is issued by the target, in other words, before the breakpoint address is reached
NOTE
A match detected in the Breakpoint unit does not clear the DVF bit in the
BDC Status and Control register. This bit only indicates a command had
failed or is pending and is not modified by the Breakpoint unit. To evaluate
if a breakpoint match had occurred, without using the hardware handshake
protocol and the GO_UNTIL command, the host should check for the
BDMACT BDCSCR bit to verify if it is at logic one, indicating that the CPU
had entered Background Active mode.
18.4.1.1.3
BGND Instruction
The third method consists of executing a BGND instruction. This can be accomplished by placing a BGND
instruction in the normal program sequence, usually by issuing BDC foreground commands. The BGND
instruction places the CPU in background debug mode. As in the first case, normal program flow can be
resumed with a GO, TRACE1, TAGGO or GO_UNTIL command. However, in this case, execution starts
with the instruction following BGND in the program sequence, provided the PC is not altered while in
background debug mode and no higher priority events are pending.
Note that if the ENBDM bit is not set to logic one, the BGND instruction is treated as an illegal opcode.
Also note that if the BGND instruction comes from secure memory, then the instruction is treated as an
illegal opcode. This is to prevent attempts to break security by using background debug mode as follows:
1. Enter background debug Mode by issuing a BACKGROUND command.
2. Set the PC to an address in secure memory.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
18-33
Development Support
3. Issue a GO command.
If the data pointed by the PC is the opcode of a BGND instruction, then it will be executed as a secure
opcode, defeating the security mechanism. To prevent this from happening, a BGND instruction from
secure memory is treated as an illegal opcode.
If the hardware handshake protocol is enabled, an ACK pulse is issued by the target as soon as the target
CPU enters background mode after executing the BGND instruction, provide the GO_UNTIL command
had been used to put the CPU in normal mode. The hardware handshake abort procedure should be used
if the host decides to send a new BDC command before the ACK pulse is issued by the target.
18.4.1.1.4
External Force and Tag
The fourth and fifth methods of entering background debug mode is through the MCU’s external force/tag
capabilities. This method behaves essentially in the same way as the internal force/tagging capabilities.
The main difference is that a force/tag may be issued when background debug mode is not enabled. In such
a case, the CPU executes the SWI instruction instead of the BGND instruction and sets core_illegal_op_t4
status signal. In addition, the CPU sets core_force_exec_t4 or core_tag_exec_t4 to indicate whether a force
or tag led to this condition. At the chip level these signals can be used to reset the core or used to detect
that an external force or tag was responsible for the SWI flow.
If the hardware handshake protocol is enabled, an ACK pulse is issued by the target as soon as the target
CPU enters background mode, provide the GO_UNTIL command had been used to put the CPU in normal
mode. The hardware handshake abort procedure should be used, if the host decides to send a new BDC
command before the ACK pulse is issued.
18.4.1.2
BDC Commands
BDC commands are sent serially from a host computer to the BKGD pin of the target HCS08 MCU. All
commands and data are sent MSB-first using a custom BDC communication protocol. BDC commands
are divided in two classes: foreground commands and background commands. Foreground commands can
be executed while the CPU is running application code. Background commands can be executed only if
the core is in background debug mode. Figure 18-21 and Figure 18-22 describe the foreground and
background commands. Table 18-20 explains the symbols used for the command structure. Subsequent
paragraphs will describe each command in greater detail.

Description
The serial communication could be set in two different rates: the ext_clk24, which is double the CPU bus
frequency and ext_lclk, which is the independent Local Oscillator frequency source. These modes are
defined by the CLKSW bit in the BDC Status and Control register. If CLKSW = 0 the Local Oscillator is
engaged and the serial communication rate is defined by the Local Oscillator frequency. In this mode the
serial communication rate is asynchronous related to the MCU bus clock. If CLKSW = 1, the Local
Oscillator is disengaged, causing the ext_lclk to be derived from the ext_clk24 MCU clock signal. In this
case the serial communication clock is synchronous related to the MCU bus clock.
18.4.1.2.1
Serial Communication Time-out
The host initiates a host-to-target serial transmission by generating a falling edge on the BKGD pin. If
BKGD is kept low for more than 128 target clock cycles, the target understands that a SYNC command
was issued. In this case, the target will keep waiting for a rising edge on BKGD to answer the SYNC
request pulse. If the rising edge is not detected, the target will keep waiting forever, without any time-out
limit.
Consider now the case where the host returns BKGD to logic one before 128 cycles. This is interpreted as
a valid bit transmission, and not as a SYNC request. The target will keep waiting for another falling edge
marking the start of a new bit. If, however, a new falling edge is not detected by the target within 512 clock
cycles since the last falling edge, a time-out occurs and the current command is discarded without affecting
memory or the operating mode of the MCU. This is referred to as a soft-reset.
If a read command is issued but the data is not retrieved within 512 serial clock cycles a soft-reset will
occur causing the command to be disregarded. The data is not available for retrieving after the time-out
had occurred. This is the expected behavior if the handshake protocol is not enabled. However, consider
the behavior where the BDC is running in a frequency much greater than the CPU frequency. In this case,
the command could time-out before the data is ready to be retrieved. To allow the data to be retrieved even
with a large clock frequency mismatch, between BDC and CPU, when the hardware handshake protocol
is enabled the time-out between a read command and the data retrieve is disabled. Therefore, the host could
wait for more then 512 serial clock cycles and still be able to retrieve the data from an issued read
command. However, after the handshake pulse is issued, the time-out feature is re-activated, meaning that
the target will time-out after 512 clock cycles. Therefore, the host needs to retrieve the data within a 512
serial clock cycles time frame after the ACK pulse had been issued. After that period the read command

Freescale Semiconductor
18-37
Development Support
is discarded and the data is no longer available for retrieve. Any negedge in the BKGD pin after the
time-out period is considered to be a new command or a SYNC request.
Note that, whenever a partially issued command, or partially retrieved data had occurred, the time-out in
the serial communication is active, meaning that, if a time frame higher than 512 serial clock cycles is
observed between two consecutive negedges and the command being issued or data being retrieved is not
completed, a soft-reset will occur causing the partially received command or data retrieve to be
disregarded. The next negedge in the BKGD pin, after the soft-reset had occurred, is considered by the
target as the start of a new BDC command, or the start of a SYNC request pulse.
18.4.2
DBG Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the on-chip ICE system. The DBG module is
enabled by setting the DBGEN bit in the DBGC register. Enabling the module allows the arming,
triggering and storing of data in the FIFO. The DBG module is made up of three main blocks, the
Comparators, Trigger Break Control logic and the FIFO.
18.4.2.1
Comparator
The DBG module contains three comparators, A, B, and C. Comparator A compares the core address bus
with the address stored in the DBGCAX, DBGCAH, and DBGCAL registers. Comparator B compares the
core address bus with the address stored in the DBGCBX, DBGCBH, and DBGCBL registers except in
full mode, where it compares the data buses to the data stored in the DBGCBL register. Comparator C
compares the core address bus with the address stored in the DBGCCX, DBGCCH, and DBGCCL
registers. Matches on Comparators A, B, and C are signaled to the Trigger Break Control (TBC) block.
18.4.2.1.1
RWA and RWAEN in Full Modes
In full modes ("A And B" and "A And Not B") RWAEN and RWA are used to select read or write
comparisons for both comparators A and B. To select write comparisons and the write data bus in Full
Modes set RWAEN=1 and RWA=0, otherwise read comparisons and the read data bus will be selected.
The RWBEN and RWB bits are not used and will be ignored in Full Modes.
18.4.2.1.2
Comparator C in LOOP1 Capture Mode
Normally comparator C is used as a third hardware breakpoint and is not involved in the trigger logic for
the on-chip ICE system. In this mode, it compares the core address bus with the address stored in the
DBGCCX, DBGCCH, and DBGCCL registers. However, in LOOP1 capture mode, comparator C is
managed by logic in the DBG module to track the address of the most recent change-of-flow event that
was captured into the FIFO buffer. In LOOP1 capture mode, comparator C is not available for use as a
normal hardware breakpoint.
When the ARM and DBGEN bits are set to one in LOOP1 capture mode, comparator C value registers are
cleared to prevent the previous contents of these registers from interfering with the LOOP1 capture mode
operation. When a COF event is detected, the address of the event is compared to the contents of the
DBGCCX, DBGCCH, and DBGCCL registers to determine whether it is the same as the previous COF
entry in the capture FIFO. If the values match, the capture is inhibited to prevent the FIFO from filling up
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
18-38
Freescale Semiconductor
Development Support
with duplicate entries. If the values do not match, the COF event is captured into the FIFO and the
DBGCCX, DBGCCH, and DBGCCL registers are updated to reflect the address of the captured COF
event. When comparator C is updated, the PAGSEL bit (bit-7 of DBGCCX) is updated with the PPACC
value that is captured into the FIFO. This bit indicates whether the COF address was a paged 17-bit
program address using the PPAGE mechanism (PPACC=1) or a 17-bit CPU address that resulted from an
unpaged CPU access.
18.4.2.2
Breakpoints
A breakpoint request to the CPU at the end of a trace run can be created if the BRKEN bit in the DBGC
register is set. The value of the BEGIN bit in DBGT register determines when the breakpoint request to
the CPU will occur. If the BEGIN bit is set, begin-trigger is selected and the breakpoint request will not
occur until the FIFO is filled with 8 words. If the BEGIN bit is cleared, end-trigger is selected and the
breakpoint request will occur immediately at the trigger cycle.
When traditional hardware breakpoints from comparators A or B are desired, set BEGIN=0 to select an
end-trace run and set the trigger mode to either 0x0 (A-only) or 0x1 (A OR B) mode.
There are two types of breakpoint requests supported by the DBG module, tag-type and force-type. Tagged
breakpoints are associated with opcode addresses and allow breaking just before a specific instruction
executes. Force breakpoints are not associated with opcode addresses and allow breaking at the next
instruction boundary. The TAG bit in the DBGC register determines whether CPU breakpoint requests will
be a tag-type or force-type breakpoints. When TAG=0, a force-type breakpoint is requested and it will take
effect at the next instruction boundary after the request. When TAG=1, a tag-type breakpoint is registered
into the instruction queue and the CPU will break if/when this tag reaches the head of the instruction queue
and the tagged instruction is about to be executed.
18.4.2.2.1
Hardware Breakpoints
Comparators A, B, and C can be used as three traditional hardware breakpoints whether the on-chip ICE
real-time capture function is required or not. To use any breakpoint or trace run capture functions set
DBGEN=1. BRKEN and TAG affect all three comparators. When BRKEN=0, no CPU breakpoints are
enabled. When BRKEN=1, CPU breakpoints are enabled and the TAG bit determines whether the
breakpoints will be tag-type or force-type breakpoints. To use comparators A and B as hardware
breakpoints, set DBGT=0x81 for tag-type breakpoints and 0x01 for force-type breakpoints. This sets up
an end-type trace with trigger mode “A OR B”.
Comparator C is not involved in the trigger logic for the on-chip ICE system.
18.4.2.3
Trigger Selection
The TRGSEL bit in the DBGT register is used to determine the triggering condition of the on-chip ICE
system. TRGSEL applies to both trigger A and B except in the event only trigger modes. By setting the
TRGSEL bit, the comparators will qualify a match with the output of opcode tracking logic. The opcode
tracking logic is internal to each comparator and determines whether the CPU executed the opcode at the
compare address. With the TRGSEL bit cleared a comparator match is all that is necessary for a trigger
condition to be met.
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
Freescale Semiconductor
18-39
Development Support
NOTE
If the TRGSEL is set, the address stored in the comparator match address
registers must be an opcode address for the trigger to occur.
18.4.2.4
Trigger Break Control (TBC)
The TBC is the main controller for the DBG module. Its function is to decide whether data should be stored
in the FIFO based on the trigger mode and the match signals from the comparator. The TBC also
determines whether a request to break the CPU should occur.
The TAG bit in DBGC controls whether CPU breakpoints are treated as tag-type or force-type breakpoints.
The TRGSEL bit in DBGT controls whether a comparator A or B match is further qualified by opcode
tracking logic. Each comparator has a separate circuit to track opcodes because the comparators could
correspond to separate instructions that could be propagating through the instruction queue at the same
time.
In end-type trace runs (BEGIN=0), when the comparator registers match, including the optional R/W
match, this signal goes to the CPU break logic where BRKEN determines whether a CPU break is
requested and the TAG control bit determines whether the CPU break will be a tag-type or force-type
breakpoint. When TRGSEL is set, the R/W qualified comparator match signal also passes through the
opcode tracking logic. If/when it propagates through this logic, it will cause a trigger to the ICE logic to
begin or end capturing information into the FIFO. In the case of an end-type (BEGIN=0) trace run, the
qualified comparator signal stops the FIFO from capturing any more information.
If a CPU breakpoint is also enabled, TAG and TRGSEL to agree so that the CPU break occurs at the same
place in the application program as the FIFO stopped capturing information. If TRGSEL was 0 and TAG
was 1 in an end-type trace run, the FIFO would stop capturing as soon as the comparator address matched,
but the CPU would continue running until a TAG signal could propagate through the CPUs instruction
queue which could take a long time in the case where changes of flow caused the instruction queue to be
flushed. If TRGSEL was one and TAG was zero in an end-type trace run, the CPU would break before the
comparator match signal could propagate through the opcode tracking logic to end the trace run.
In begin-type trace runs (BEGIN=1), the start of FIFO capturing is triggered by the qualified comparator
signals, and the CPU breakpoint (if enabled by BRKEN=1) is triggered when the FIFO becomes full.
Because this FIFO full condition does not correspond to the execution of a tagged instruction, it would not
make sense to use TAG=1 for a begin-type trace run.
18.4.2.4.1
Begin- and End-Trigger
The definition of begin- and end-trigger as used in the DBG module are as follows:
• Begin-trigger: Storage in FIFO occurs after the trigger and continues until 8 locations are filled.
• End-trigger: Storage in FIFO occurs until the trigger with the least recent data falling out of the
FIFO if more than 8 words are collected.
18.4.2.4.2
Arming the DBG Module
Arming occurs by enabling the DBG module by setting the DBGEN bit and by setting the ARM bit in the
DBGC register. The ARM bit in the DBGC register and the ARMF bit in the DBGS register are cleared
MC13234/MC13237 Reference Manual, Rev. 1.8
18-40
Freescale Semiconductor
Development Support
when the trigger condition is met in end-trigger mode or when the FIFO is filled in begin-trigger mode. In
the case of an end-trace where DBGEN=1 and BEGIN=0, ARM and ARMF are cleared by any reset to
end the trace run that was in progress. The ARMF bit is also cleared if ARM is written to zero or when the
DBGEN bit is low. The TBC logic determines whether a trigger condition has been met based on the
trigger mode and the trigger selection.
18.4.2.4.3
Trigger Modes
The on-chip ICE system supports nine trigger modes. The trigger modes are encoded as shown in
Table 18-16. The trigger mode is used as a qualifier for either starting or ending the storing of data in the
FIFO. When the match condition is met, the appropriate flag AF or BF is set in DBGS register. Arming
the DBG module clears the AF, BF, and CF flags in the DBGS register. In all trigger modes except for the
event only modes change of flow addresses are stored in the FIFO. In the event only modes only the value
on the data bus at the trigger event B comparator match address will be stored.
A Only
In the A Only trigger mode, if the match condition for A is met, the AF flag in the DBGS register is set.
A Or B
In the A Or B trigger mode, if the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag(s) in the DBGS
register are set.
A Then B
In the A Then B trigger mode, the match condition for A must be met before the match condition for B is
compared. When the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in the DBGS register is set.
Event Only B
In the Event Only B trigger mode, if the match condition for B is met, the BF flag in the DBGS register is
set. The Event Only B trigger mode is considered a begin-trigger type and the BEGIN bit in the DBGT
register is ignored.
A Then Event Only B
In the A Then Event Only B trigger mode, the match condition for A must be met before the match
condition for B is compared. When the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in the
DBGS register is set. The A Then Event Only B trigger mode is considered a begin-trigger type and the
BEGIN bit in the DBGT register is ignored.
A And B (Full Mode)
In the A And B trigger mode, Comparator A compares to the address bus and Comparator B compares to
the data bus. In the A and B trigger mode, if the match condition for A and B happen on the same bus cycle,
both the AF and BF flags in the DBGS register are set. If a match condition on only A or only B happens,
no flags are set.
For Breakpoint tagging operation with an end-trigger type trace, only matches from Comparator A will be
used to determine whether the Breakpoint conditions are met and Comparator B matches will be ignored.

A And Not B (Full Mode)
In the A And Not B trigger mode, comparator A compares to the address bus and comparator B compares
to the data bus. In the A And Not B trigger mode, if the match condition for A and Not B happen on the
same bus cycle, both the AF and BF flags in the DBGS register are set. If a match condition on only A or
only Not B occur no flags are set.
For Breakpoint tagging operation with an end-trigger type trace, only matches from Comparator A will be
used to determine whether the Breakpoint conditions are met and Comparator B matches will be ignored.
Inside Range, A  address  B
In the Inside Range trigger mode, if the match condition for A and B happen on the same bus cycle, both
the AF and BF flags in the DBGS register are set. If a match condition on only A or only B occur no flags
are set.
Outside Range, address < A or address > B
In the Outside Range trigger mode, if the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in the
DBGS register is set.
The four control bits BEGIN and TRGSEL in DBGT, and BRKEN and TAG in DBGC, determine the basic

the CPU breakpoint would not take effect until sometime after the FIFO stopped storing values. Depending on program loops
or interrupts, the delay could be very long.

In end trace configurations (BEGIN = 0) where a CPU breakpoint is enabled (BRKEN = 1), TRGSEL should agree with TAG. In
this case, where TRGSEL = 1 to select opcode tracking qualification and TAG = 0 to specify a force-type CPU breakpoint, the
CPU breakpoint would erroneously take effect before the FIFO stopped storing values and the debug run would not complete
normally.

begin trace debug runs, the CPU breakpoint corresponds to the FIFO full condition which does not correspond to a taggable
instruction fetch.

FIFO
The FIFO is an eight word deep FIFO. In all trigger modes except for event only, the data stored in the
FIFO will be change of flow addresses. In the event only trigger modes only the data bus value
corresponding to the event is stored. In event only trigger modes, the high byte of the valid data from the
FIFO will always read a 0x00 and the extended information byte in DBGFX will always read 0x00.
18.4.2.5.1
Storing Data in FIFO
In all trigger modes except for the event only modes, the address stored in the FIFO will be determined by
the change of flow indicators from the core. The signal core_cof[1] indicates the current core address is
the destination address of an indirect JSR or JMP instruction, or a RTS, RTC, or RTI instruction or interrupt
vector and the destination address should be stored. The signal core_cof[0] indicates that a conditional
branch was taken and that the source address of the conditional branch should be stored.
18.4.2.5.2
Storing with Begin-Trigger
Storing with Begin-Trigger can be used in all trigger modes. After the DBG module is enabled and armed
in the begin-trigger mode, data is not stored in the FIFO until the trigger condition is met. After the trigger
condition is met the DBG module will remain armed until 8 words are stored in the FIFO. If the
core_cof[1] signal becomes asserted, the current address is stored in the FIFO. If the core_cof[0] signal
becomes asserted, the address registered during the previous last cycle is decremented by two and stored
in the FIFO.
18.4.2.5.3
Storing with End-Trigger
Storing with End-Trigger cannot be used in event-only trigger modes. After the DBG module is enabled
and armed in the end-trigger mode, data is stored in the FIFO until the trigger condition is met. If the
core_cof[1] signal becomes asserted, the current address is stored in the FIFO. If the core_cof[0] signal
becomes asserted, the address registered during the previous last cycle is decremented by two and stored
in the FIFO. When the trigger condition is met, the ARM and ARMF will be cleared and no more data will
be stored. In non-event only end-trigger modes, if the trigger is at a change of flow address the trigger event
will be stored in the FIFO.
18.4.2.5.4
Reading Data from FIFO
The data stored in the FIFO can be read using BDM commands provided the DBG module is enabled and
not armed (DBGEN=1 and ARM=0). The FIFO data is read out first-in-first-out. By reading the CNT bits
in the DBGCNT register at the end of a trace run, the number of valid words can be determined. The FIFO
data is read by optionally reading the DBGFX and DBGFH registers followed by the DBGFL register.
Each time the DBGFL register is read the FIFO is shifted to allow reading of the next word however the

count does not decrement. In event-only trigger modes where the FIFO will contain only the data bus
values stored, to read the FIFO only DBGFL needs to be accessed.
The FIFO is normally only read while ARM and ARMF=0, however reading the FIFO while the DBG
module is armed will return the data value in the oldest location of the FIFO and the TBC will not allow

Introduction
To better understand the full capabilities of the MC13234/MC13237 Sequence Manager, it is necessary to
have a basic understanding of the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY messaging protocol. This appendix is meant as a
simple overview and is not intended to provide an in-depth understanding of the subject. For more
information, the reader is directed to the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard, “Part 15.4: Wireless Medium Access
Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks
(WPANs)”, IEEE Std 802.15.4™-2006
A.2
Basic PHY Functions
At the 802.15.4 PHY level, all activities for any wireless node can be built from three basic functions:
• Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) / ED scan - this function involves enabling the radio receiver
and scanning the selected 802.15.4 channel frequency for any energy present. The algorithm for
detecting the energy can vary and the detected energy can be compared to a pre-determined level,
but this activity is passive to the network.
• Packet Transmit - this function causes the radio transmitter to power-up and sent a packet formatted
as described in Section 6.4.2, “MAC Frame Structures”.
• Packet Receive - this function causes the radio receiver to power-up and receive a packet that has
been transmitted by another wireless node.
All the higher level protocol detailed here are built from these components.
A.3
Non-beacon-Enabled versus Beacon-Enabled Communication
Without getting into the details of network architectures, communication at the over-the-air PHY level can
be divided into non-beacon-enabled vs. beacon-enabled modes.
A.3.1
Non-beacon-Enabled Communication
Non-beacon-enabled devices use a simple model for communication between devices (typically a
coordinator and another network device):
• Only three of the MAC frame types are used - includes data frame, acknowledgement (ACK)
frame, and MAC command frame. Beacon frames are not used.
• To send information, a data frame is sent from a source to a destination, and an ACK may be
optionally used. The ACK frame uses a special short format, and if required, must be sent within
a specified time limit. The ACK is typically used but always not required.

A.3.2
There are no device-to-device timing or synchronization mechanisms.
A standard packet exchange uses a single CCA cycle (assuming no interference) followed by the
packet transmission. An ACK follows if appropriate.
All access uses unslotted CSMA-CA access - that means that if a device during a CCA cycle finds
the channel busy, its back off period is random and independent of all other devices.
A simple, point-to-point unencumbered communication model
Beacon-Enabled Communication
For lower latency and more deterministic communication especially with a larger number of nodes, a more
sophisticated model is beacon-enabled communication. The protocol is built around the concept of
synchronized timing between devices to determine when communication between the coordinator and its
network devices is allowed.
Beacon-enabled communication is based on the use of a “Superframe” structure. Figure A-1 shows the
most simple superframe structure. The coordinator sends out beacon frames out to the network devices on
a periodic basis. In this simple model, the entire time between beacons is available for communication.
The time available for communication is called the Contention Access Period (CAP) and is always divided
into 16 equal time slots.

Figure A-1. Simple Superframe Structure
Devices wishing to access the coordinator use a slotted CSMA-CA channel access mechanism:
• All channel access is relative to the start of the beacon transmission.
• The back off slots of all devices within the PAN are aligned to the PAN coordinator and all back
off slot lengths are standard at 20 symbols in length.
• Slotted access means that two CCA cycles are used for transmit - two CCA cycles (separated by a
back off slot time) must both find an idle channel before the transmit can commence.
• Each time a device wishes to transmit - it locates the boundary of the next back off slot and then
waits for a random number of back off slots. If the channel is busy, following this random back off,
the device waits for another random number of back off slots before trying to access the channel
again. If the channel is idle, the device begins transmitting on the next available back off slot
boundary.
• All transactions must be completed by the time of the next network beacon.
The superframe structure can be extended to additional capabilities. Figure A-2 illustrations “A” and “B”
show these functions.

Optional Inactive Period (Figure A-2A) - the superframe time between beacons can be divided into
an Active Period immediately following the beacon and a sequential Inactive Period. The inactive
period allows the coordinator as well as the network devices to enter a low power mode which has
the advantage allowing for better coordinator battery life if it cannot be mains powered.
Adding a Contention Free Period (CFP) within the active period through use of guaranteed time
slots (GTSs) (Figure A-2B) - For applications requiring low-latency communication or higher data
bandwidth, the coordinator may dedicate a number of active period time slots to GTSs.
— The active period is always divided into 16 time slots
— Up to 7 of the last time slots can be dedicated to GTS(s) and these form the CFP.
— The CFP always follows the CAP.
— One GTS may occupy more than one time slot
— All CAP transactions must be completed before the CFP begins
— One device is assigned per GTS
– No CCA cycle is used by the GTS assigned device
– The device must be sure its transaction completes before the end of its GTS period.
Summary
The various timing parameters associated with beacon-enabled communication are beyond the scope of
this description. The information here is presented as background for understanding the transceiver
hardware, specifically the Sequence Manager.
