General Description
1.5 Pin Function Priority
Table 1-2 defines the priority of a shared pin if multiple functions are enabled. Only the shared pins are
shown in the table.
Table 1-2. Function Priority in Shared Pins
Pin Name
Highest-to-Lowest Priority Sequence
(1)
AD0 → TCH1 → KBI0 → PTA0

1. When a pin is to be used as an ADC pin, the I/O port function should be
left as an input. The ADC does not override the port data direction
register.
2. TCLK is not included in the priority scheme. When TCLK is enabled the
other shared functions in the pin should be disabled.
1.6 Unused Pin Termination
Input pins and I/O port pins that are not used in the application must be terminated. This prevents excess
current caused by floating inputs, and enhances immunity during noise or transient events. Termination
methods include:
1. Configuring unused pins as outputs and driving high or low;
2. Configuring unused pins as inputs and enabling internal pull-ups;
3. Configuring unused pins as inputs and using external pull-up or pull-down resistors.
Never connect unused pins directly to VDD or VSS.
Since some general-purpose I/O pins are not available on all packages, these pins must be terminated
as well. Either method 1 or 2 above are appropriate.

Memory
2.1 Introduction
The central processor unit (CPU08) can address 64 Kbytes of memory space. The memory map is shown
in Figure 2-1.
2.2 Unimplemented Memory Locations
Executing code from an unimplemented location will cause an illegal address reset. In Figure 2-1,
unimplemented locations are shaded.
2.3 Reserved Memory Locations
Accessing a reserved location can have unpredictable effects on MCU operation. In Figure 2-1, reserved
locations are marked with the word reserved or with the letter R.
2.4 Direct Page Registers
Figure 2-2 shows the memory mapped registers of the MC68HC908QL4. Registers with addresses
between $0000 and $00FF are considered direct page registers and all instructions including those with
direct page addressing modes can access them. Registers between $0100 and $FFFF require non-direct
page addressing modes. See Chapter 7 Central Processor Unit (CPU) for more information on
addressing modes.

2.5 Random-Access Memory (RAM)
This MCU includes static RAM. The locations in RAM below $0100 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.
The RAM retains data when the MCU is in low-power wait or stop mode. At power-on, the contents of
RAM are uninitialized. RAM data is unaffected by any reset provided that the supply voltage does not drop
below the minimum value for RAM retention.
For compatibility with older M68HC05 MCUs, the HC08 resets the stack pointer to $00FF. In the devices
that have RAM above $00FF, 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 your reset initialization routine (where RamLast is equated
to the highest address of the RAM).

2.6 FLASH Memory (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 monitor mode 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.
This subsection describes the operation of the embedded FLASH memory. The FLASH memory can be
read, programmed, and erased from the internal VDD supply. The program and erase operations are
enabled through the use of an internal charge pump.
The minimum size of FLASH memory that can be erased is 64 bytes; and the maximum size of FLASH
memory that can be programmed in a program cycle is 32 bytes (a row). Program and erase operations
are facilitated through control bits in the FLASH control register (FLCR). Details for these operations
appear later in this section.
NOTE
An erased bit reads as a 1 and a programmed bit reads as a 0. A security
feature prevents viewing of the FLASH contents.(1)
1. No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Freescale’s strategy is to make reading or copying the FLASH difficult
for unauthorized users.

2.6.2 FLASH Page Erase Operation
Use the following procedure to erase a page of FLASH memory. A page consists of 64 consecutive bytes
starting from addresses $XX00, $XX40, $XX80, or $XXC0. The 48-byte user interrupt vectors area also
forms a page. Any FLASH memory page can be erased alone.
1. Set the ERASE bit and clear the MASS bit in the FLASH control register.
2. Read the FLASH block protect register.
3. Write any data to any FLASH location within the address range of the block to be erased.
4. Wait for a time, tNVS.
5. Set the HVEN bit.
6. Wait for a time, tErase.
7. Clear the ERASE bit.
8. Wait for a time, tNVH.
9. Clear the HVEN bit.
10. After time, tRCV, the memory can be accessed in read mode again.
NOTE
The COP register at location $FFFF should not be written between steps
5-9, when the HVEN bit is set. Since this register is located at a valid
FLASH address, unpredictable behavior may occur if this location is written
while HVEN is set.
NOTE
Programming and erasing of FLASH locations cannot be performed by
code being executed from the FLASH memory. While these operations
must be performed in the order as shown, other unrelated operations may
occur between the steps.
CAUTION
A page erase of the vector page will erase the internal oscillator trim value at $FFC0.

2.6.4 FLASH Program Operation
Programming of the FLASH memory is done on a row basis. A row consists of 32 consecutive bytes
starting from addresses $XX00, $XX20, $XX40, $XX60, $XX80, $XXA0, $XXC0, or $XXE0. Use the
following step-by-step procedure to program a row of FLASH memory
Figure 2-4 shows a flowchart of the programming algorithm.
NOTE
Do not program any byte in the FLASH more than once after a successful
erase operation. Reprogramming bits to a byte which is already
programmed is not allowed without first erasing the page in which the byte
resides or mass erasing the entire FLASH memory. Programming without
first erasing may disturb data stored in the FLASH.
1. Set the PGM bit. This configures the memory for program operation and enables the latching of
address and data for programming.
2. Read the FLASH block protect register.
3. Write any data to any FLASH location within the address range desired.
4. Wait for a time, tNVS.
5. Set the HVEN bit.
6. Wait for a time, tPGS.
7. Write data to the FLASH address being programmed(1).
8. Wait for time, tPROG.
9. Repeat step 7 and 8 until all desired bytes within the row are programmed.
10. Clear the PGM bit (1).
11. Wait for time, tNVH.
12. Clear the HVEN bit.
13. After time, tRCV, the memory can be accessed in read mode again.
NOTE
The COP register at location $FFFF should not be written between steps
5-12, when the HVEN bit is set. Since this register is located at a valid
FLASH address, unpredictable behavior may occur if this location is written
while HVEN is set.
This program sequence is repeated throughout the memory until all data is programmed.
NOTE
Programming and erasing of FLASH locations cannot be performed by
code being executed from the FLASH memory. While these operations
must be performed in the order shown, other unrelated operations may
occur between the steps. Do not exceed tPROG maximum, see 17.15

2.6.5 FLASH Protection
Due to the ability of the on-board charge pump to erase and program the FLASH memory in the target
application, a provision is made to protect blocks of memory from unintentional erase or program
operations due to system malfunction. This protection is done by use of a FLASH block protect register
(FLBPR). The FLBPR determines the range of the FLASH memory which is to be protected. The range
of the protected area starts from a location defined by FLBPR and ends to the bottom of the FLASH
memory ($FFFF). When the memory is protected, the HVEN bit cannot be set in either erase or program
operations.
NOTE
In performing a program or erase operation, the FLASH block protect
register must be read after setting the PGM or ERASE bit and before
asserting the HVEN bit.
When the FLBPR is programmed with all 0 s, the entire memory is protected from being programmed and
erased. When all the bits are erased (all 1’s), the entire memory is accessible for program and erase.
When bits within the FLBPR are programmed, they lock a block of memory. The address ranges are
shown in 2.6.6 FLASH Block Protect Register. Once the FLBPR is programmed with a value other than
$FF, any erase or program of the FLBPR or the protected block of FLASH memory is prohibited. Mass
erase is disabled whenever any block is protected (FLBPR does not equal $FF). The FLBPR itself can be
erased or programmed only with an external voltage, VTST, present on the IRQ pin. This voltage also
allows entry from reset into monitor mode.
2.6.6 FLASH Block Protect Register
The FLASH block protect register is implemented as a byte within the FLASH memory, and therefore can
only be written during a programming sequence of the FLASH memory. The value in this register
determines the starting address of the protected range within the FLASH memory.

The resultant 16-bit address is used for specifying the start address of the FLASH memory for block
protection. The FLASH is protected from this start address to the end of FLASH memory, at $FFFF.
With this mechanism, the protect start address can be $XX00, $XX40, $XX80, or $XXC0 within the
FLASH memory. See Figure 2-6 and Table 2-2.

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC10) Module
3.1 Introduction
This section describes the 10-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC10).
The ADC10 module shares its pins with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 3-1 for
port location of these shared pins. The ADC10 on this MCU uses VDD and VSS as its supply and reference
pins. This MCU uses BUSCLKX4 as its alternate clock source for the ADC. This MCU does not have a
hardware conversion trigger.
3.2 Features
Features of the ADC10 module include:
• Linear successive approximation algorithm with 10-bit resolution
• Output formatted in 10- or 8-bit right-justified format
• Single or continuous conversion (automatic power-down in single conversion mode)
• Configurable sample time and conversion speed (to save power)
• Conversion complete flag and interrupt
• Input clock selectable from up to three sources
• Operation in wait and stop modes for lower noise operation
• Selectable asynchronous hardware conversion trigger
3.3 Functional Description
The ADC10 uses successive approximation to convert the input sample taken from ADVIN to a digital
representation. The approximation is taken and then rounded to the nearest 10- or 8-bit value to provide
greater accuracy and to provide a more robust mechanism for achieving the ideal code-transition voltage.
Figure 3-2 shows a block diagram of the ADC10
For proper conversion, the voltage on ADVIN must fall between VREFH and VREFL. If ADVIN is equal to
or exceeds VREFH, the converter circuit converts the signal to $3FF for a 10-bit representation or $FF for
a 8-bit representation. If ADVIN is equal to or less than VREFL, the converter circuit converts it to $000.
Input voltages between VREFH and VREFL are straight-line linear conversions.
NOTE
Input voltage must not exceed the analog supply voltages.

Figure 3-2. ADC10 Block Diagram
The ADC10 can perform an analog-to-digital conversion on one of the software selectable channels. The
output of the input multiplexer (ADVIN) is converted by a successive approximation algorithm into a 10-bit
digital result. When the conversion is completed, the result is placed in the data registers (ADRH and
ADRL). In 8-bit mode, the result is rounded to 8 bits and placed in ADRL. The conversion complete flag
is then set and an interrupt is generated if the interrupt has been enabled.
3.3.1 Clock Select and Divide Circuit
The clock select and divide circuit selects one of three clock sources and divides it by a configurable value
to generate the input clock to the converter (ADCK). The clock can be selected from one of the following
sources:
• The asynchronous clock source (ACLK) — This clock source is generated from a dedicated clock
source which is enabled when the ADC10 is converting and the clock source is selected by setting
the ACLKEN bit. When the ADLPC bit is clear, this clock operates from 1–2 MHz; when ADLPC is
set it operates at 0.5–1 MHz. This clock is not disabled in STOP and allows conversions in stop
mode for lower noise operation.
• Alternate clock source — This clock source is equal to the external oscillator clock or a four times
the bus clock. The alternate clock source is MCU specific, see 3.1 Introduction to determine source
and availability of this clock source option. This clock is selected when ADICLK and ACLKEN are
both low.
• The bus clock — This clock source is equal to the bus frequency. This clock is selected when
ADICLK is high and ACLKEN is low.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
45
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC10) Module
Whichever clock is selected, its frequency must fall within the acceptable frequency range for ADCK. If
the available clocks are too slow, the ADC10 will not perform according to specifications. If the available
clocks are too fast, then the clock must be divided to the appropriate frequency. This divider is specified
by the ADIV[1:0] bits and can be divide-by 1, 2, 4, or 8.
3.3.2 Input Select and Pin Control
Only one analog input may be used for conversion at any given time. The channel select bits in ADCSC
are used to select the input signal for conversion.
3.3.3 Conversion Control
Conversions can be performed in either 10-bit mode or 8-bit mode as determined by the MODE bits.
Conversions can be initiated by either a software or hardware trigger. In addition, the ADC10 module can
be configured for low power operation, long sample time, and continuous conversion.
3.3.3.1 Initiating Conversions
A conversion is initiated:
• Following a write to ADCSC (with ADCH bits not all 1s) if software triggered operation is selected.
• Following a hardware trigger 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 ADCSC is
written and continue until aborted. In hardware triggered operation, continuous conversions begin after a
hardware trigger event and continue until aborted.
3.3.3.2 Completing Conversions
A conversion is completed when the result of the conversion is transferred into the data result registers,
ADRH and ADRL. This is indicated by the setting of the COCO bit. 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 ADRH and ADRL if the
previous data is in the process of being read while in 10-bit mode (ADRH has been read but ADRL has
not). In this case the data transfer is blocked, COCO is not set, and the new result is lost. 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, this 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.
3.3.3.3 Aborting Conversions
Any conversion in progress will be aborted when:
• A write to ADCSC occurs (the current conversion will be aborted and a new conversion will be
initiated, if ADCH are not all 1s).
• A write to ADCLK occurs.
• The MCU is reset.
• The MCU enters stop mode with ACLK not enabled.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
46
Freescale Semiconductor
Functional Description
When a conversion is aborted, the contents of the data registers, ADRH and ADRL, are not altered but
continue to be the values transferred after the completion of the last successful conversion. In the case
that the conversion was aborted by a reset, ADRH and ADRL return to their reset states.
Upon reset or when a conversion is otherwise aborted, the ADC10 module will enter a low power, inactive
state. In this state, all internal clocks and references are disabled. This state is entered asynchronously
and immediately upon aborting of a conversion.
3.3.3.4 Total Conversion Time
The total conversion time depends on many factors such as sample time, bus frequency, whether
ACLKEN is set, and synchronization time. The total conversion time is summarized in Table 3-1.

The maximum total conversion time for a single conversion or the first conversion in continuous
conversion mode is determined by the clock source chosen and the divide ratio selected. The clock
source is selectable by the ADICLK and ACLKEN bits, and the divide ratio is specified by the ADIV bits.
For example, if the alternate clock source is 16 MHz and is selected as the input clock source, the input
clock divide-by-8 ratio is selected and the bus frequency is 4 MHz, then the conversion time for a single
10-bit conversion is:
Maximum Conversion time =
21 ADCK cycles
16 MHz/8
+
3 bus cycles
4 MHz
= 11.25 μs
Number of bus cycles = 11.25 μs x 4 MHz = 45 cycles
NOTE
The ADCK frequency must be between fADCK minimum and fADCK
maximum to meet A/D specifications.

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC10) Module
3.3.4 Sources of Error
Several sources of error exist for ADC conversions. These are discussed in the following sections.
3.3.4.1 Sampling Error
For proper conversions, the input must be sampled long enough to achieve the proper accuracy. Given
the maximum input resistance of approximately 15 kΩ and input capacitance of approximately 10 pF,
sampling to within
1/4LSB (at 10-bit resolution) can be achieved within the minimum sample window (3.5 cycles / 2 MHz
maximum ADCK frequency) provided the resistance of the external analog source (RAS) is kept below 10
kΩ. 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.
3.3.4.2 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 VADVIN / (4096*ILeak) for less than
1/4LSB leakage error (at 10-bit resolution).
3.3.4.3 Noise-Induced Errors
System noise which occurs during the sample or conversion process can affect the accuracy of the
conversion. The ADC10 accuracy numbers are guaranteed as specified only if the following conditions
are met:
• There is a 0.1μF low-ESR capacitor from VREFH to VREFL (if available).
• There is a 0.1μF low-ESR capacitor from VDDA to VSSA (if available).
• If inductive isolation is used from the primary supply, an additional 1μF capacitor is placed from
VDDA to VSSA (if available).
• VSSA and VREFL (if available) is connected to VSS at a quiet point in the ground plane.
• The MCU is placed in wait mode immediately after initiating the conversion (next instruction after
write to ADCSC).
• There is no I/O switching, input or output, on the MCU during the conversion.
There are some situations where external system activity causes radiated or conducted noise emissions
or excessive VDD noise is coupled into the ADC10. In these cases, or when the MCU cannot be placed
in wait or I/O activity cannot be halted, the following recommendations may reduce the effect of noise on
the accuracy:
• Place a 0.01 μF capacitor on the selected input channel to VREFL or VSSA (if available). This will
improve noise issues but will affect sample rate based on the external analog source resistance.
• Operate the ADC10 in stop mode by setting ACLKEN, selecting the channel in ADCSC, and
executing a STOP instruction. This will reduce VDD noise but will increase effective conversion time
due to stop recovery.
• Average the input by converting the output 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 (ACLKEN=1) and
averaging. Noise that is synchronous to the ADCK cannot be averaged out.

Functional Description
3.3.4.4 Code Width and Quantization Error
The ADC10 quantizes the ideal straight-line transfer function into 1024 steps (in 10-bit mode). Each step
ideally has the same height (1 code) and width. The width is defined as the delta between the transition
points from one code to the next. The ideal code width for an N bit converter (in this case N can be 8 or
10), defined as 1LSB, is:
1LSB = (VREFH–VREFL) / 2N
Because of this quantization, there is an inherent quantization error. Because the converter performs a
conversion and then rounds to 8 or 10 bits, the code will transition 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 ± 1/2LSB in 8- or 10-bit mode. As a consequence,
however, the code width of the first ($000) conversion is only 1/2LSB and the code width of the last ($FF
or $3FF) is 1.5LSB.
3.3.4.5 Linearity Errors
The ADC10 may also exhibit non-linearity of several forms. Every effort has been made to reduce these
errors but the user 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 (1/2LSB). Note, if the first
conversion is $001, then the difference between the actual $001 code width and its ideal (1LSB) 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 (1.5LSB). Note, if the last conversion is $3FE, then the
difference between the actual $3FE 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.
• 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 therefore includes all forms of error.
3.3.4.6 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 very 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 but will
increase with noise.
• 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 which are never converted for any input value. In 8-bit or 10-bit mode, the
ADC10 is guaranteed to be monotonic and to have no missing codes.

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC10) Module
3.4 Interrupts
When AIEN is set, the ADC10 is capable of generating a CPU interrupt after each conversion. A CPU
interrupt is generated when the conversion completes (indicated by COCO being set). COCO will set at
the end of a conversion regardless of the state of AIEN.
3.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
3.5.1 Wait Mode
The ADC10 will continue the conversion process and will generate an interrupt following a conversion if
AIEN is set. If the ADC10 is not required to bring the MCU out of wait mode, ensure that the ADC10 is not
in continuous conversion mode by clearing ADCO in the ADC10 status and control register before
executing the WAIT instruction. In single conversion mode the ADC10 automatically enters a low-power
state when the conversion is complete. It is not necessary to set the channel select bits (ADCH[4:0]) to
all 1s to enter a low power state.
3.5.2 Stop Mode
If ACLKEN is clear, executing a STOP instruction will abort the current conversion and place the ADC10
in a low-power state. Upon return from stop mode, a write to ADCSC is required to resume conversions,
and the result stored in ADRH and ADRL will represent the last completed conversion until the new
conversion completes.
If ACLKEN is set, the ADC10 continues normal operation during stop mode. The ADC10 will continue the
conversion process and will generate an interrupt following a conversion if AIEN is set. If the ADC10 is
not required to bring the MCU out of stop mode, ensure that the ADC10 is not in continuous conversion
mode by clearing ADCO in the ADC10 status and control register before executing the STOP instruction.
In single conversion mode the ADC10 automatically enters a low-power state when the conversion is
complete. It is not necessary to set the channel select bits (ADCH[4:0]) to all 1s to enter a low-power state.
If ACLKEN is set, a conversion can be initiated while in stop using the external hardware trigger
ADEXTCO when in external convert mode. The ADC10 will operate in a low-power mode until the trigger
is asserted, at which point it will perform a conversion and assert the interrupt when complete (if AIEN is
set).
3.6 ADC10 During Break Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. BCFE in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status bits during
the break state. See BFCR in the SIM section of this data sheet.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a 1 to BCFE. If a status bit is cleared
during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a 0 to BCFE. With BCFE cleared (its default state),
software can read and write registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some status bits
have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit before the
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
50
Freescale Semiconductor
I/O Signals
break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is cleared. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
3.7 I/O Signals
The ADC10 module shares its pins with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 3-1 for
port location of these shared pins. The ADC10 on this MCU uses VDD and VSS as its supply and reference
pins. This MCU does not have an external trigger source.
3.7.1 ADC10 Analog Power Pin (VDDA)
The ADC10 analog portion uses VDDA as its power pin. 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 good results.
NOTE
If externally available, route VDDA carefully for maximum noise immunity
and place bypass capacitors as near as possible to the package.
3.7.2 ADC10 Analog Ground Pin (VSSA)
The ADC10 analog portion uses VSSA as its ground pin. In some packages, VSSA is connected internally
to VSS. If externally available, connect the VSSA pin to the same voltage potential as VSS.
In cases where separate power supplies are used for analog and digital power, the ground connection
between these supplies should be at the VSSA pin. This should be the only ground connection between
these supplies if possible. The VSSA pin makes a good single point ground location.
3.7.3 ADC10 Voltage Reference High Pin (VREFH)
VREFH is the power supply for setting 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 that is between the minimum VDDA spec and
the VDDA potential (VREFH must never exceed VDDA).
NOTE
Route VREFH carefully for maximum noise immunity and place bypass
capacitors 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 μF capacitor with good high frequency characteristics. This capacitor
is connected between VREFH and VREFL and must be placed as close as possible to the package pins.
Resistance in the path is not recommended because the current will cause a voltage drop which could
result in conversion errors. Inductance in this path must be minimum (parasitic only).
3.7.4 ADC10 Voltage Reference Low Pin (VREFL)
VREFL is the power supply for setting 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. There will be a brief current associated with VREFL when the sampling capacitor is

Freescale Semiconductor
51
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC10) Module
charging. If externally available, connect the VREFL pin to the same potential as VSSA at the single point
ground location.
3.7.5 ADC10 Channel Pins (ADn)
The ADC10 has multiple input channels. Empirical data shows that capacitors on the analog inputs
improve performance in the presence of noise or when the source impedance is high. 0.01 μF capacitors
with good high-frequency characteristics are sufficient. These capacitors are not necessary in all cases,
but when used they must be placed as close as possible to the package pins and be referenced to VSSA.
3.8 Registers
These registers control and monitor operation of the ADC10:
• ADC10 status and control register, ADCSC
• ADC10 data registers, ADRH and ADRL
• ADC10 clock register, ADCLK
3.8.1 ADC10 Status and Control Register
This section describes the function of the ADC10 status and control register (ADCSC). Writing ADCSC
aborts the current conversion and initiates a new conversion (if the ADCH[4:0] bits are equal to a value
other than all 1s).

COCO is a read-only bit which is set each time a conversion is completed. This bit is cleared whenever
the status and control register is written or whenever the data register (low) is read.
1 = Conversion completed
0 = Conversion not completed
AIEN — ADC10 Interrupt Enable Bit
When this bit is set, an interrupt is generated at the end of a conversion. The interrupt signal is cleared
when the data register is read or the status/control register is written.
1 = ADC10 interrupt enabled
0 = ADC10 interrupt disabled
ADCO — ADC10 Continuous Conversion Bit
When this bit is set, the ADC10 will begin to convert samples continuously (continuous conversion
mode) and update the result registers at the end of each conversion, provided the ADCH[4:0] bits do
not decode to all 1s. The ADC10 will continue to convert until the MCU enters reset, the MCU enters
stop mode (if ACLKEN is clear), ADCLK is written, or until ADCSC is written again. If stop is entered
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
52
Freescale Semiconductor
Registers
(with ACLKEN low), continuous conversions will cease and can be restarted only with a write to
ADCSC. Any write to ADCSC with ADCO set and the ADCH bits not all 1s will abort the current
conversion and begin continuous conversions.
If the bus frequency is less than the ADCK frequency, precise sample time for continuous conversions
cannot be guaranteed in short-sample mode (ADLSMP = 0). If the bus frequency is less than 1/11th
of the ADCK frequency, precise sample time for continuous conversions cannot be guaranteed in
long-sample mode (ADLSMP = 1).
When clear, the ADC10 will perform a single conversion (single conversion mode) each time ADCSC
is written (assuming the ADCH[4:0] bits do not decode all 1s).
1 = Continuous conversion following a write to ADCSC
0 = One conversion following a write to ADCSC
ADCH[4:0] — Channel Select Bits
The ADCH[4:0] bits form a 5-bit field that is used to select one of the input channels. The input
channels are detailed in Table 3-2. The successive approximation converter subsystem is turned off
when the channel select bits are all set to 1. This feature allows explicit disabling of the ADC10 and
isolation of the input channel from the I/O pad. Terminating continuous conversion mode this way will
prevent an additional, single conversion from being performed. It is not necessary to set the channel
select bits to all 1s to place the ADC10 in a low-power state, however, because the module is
automatically placed in a low-power state when a conversion completes.

This register holds the MSBs of the result and is updated each time a conversion completes. All other bits
read as 0s. Reading ADRH prevents the ADC10 from transferring subsequent conversion results into the
result registers until ADRL is read. If ADRL is not read until the after next conversion is completed, then
the intermediate conversion result will be lost. In 8-bit mode, this register contains no interlocking with
ADRL.

Auto Wakeup Module (AWU)
4.3 Functional Description
The function of the auto wakeup logic is to generate periodic wakeup requests to bring the microcontroller
unit (MCU) out of stop mode. The wakeup requests are treated as regular keyboard interrupt requests,
with the difference that instead of a pin, the interrupt signal is generated by an internal logic.
Entering stop mode will enable the auto wakeup generation logic. Writing the AWUIE bit in the keyboard
interrupt enable register enables or disables the auto wakeup interrupt input (see Figure 4-1). A 1 applied
to the AWUIREQ input with auto wakeup interrupt request enabled, latches an auto wakeup interrupt
request.
Auto wakeup latch, AWUL, can be read directly from the bit 6 position of port A data register (PTA). This
is a read-only bit which is occupying an empty bit position on PTA. No PTA associated registers, such as
PTA6 data direction or PTA6 pullup exist for this bit.
There are two clock sources for the AWU. An internal RC oscillator (INTRCOSC, exclusive for the auto
wakeup feature) drives the wakeup request generator provided the OSCENINSTOP bit in the CONFIG2
register Figure 4-1 is cleared. More accurate wakeup periods are possible using the BUSCLKX2 signal
(from the oscillator module) which is selected by setting OSCENINSTOP.
Once the overflow count is reached in the generator counter, a wakeup request, AWUIREQ, is latched
and sent to the KBI logic. See Figure 4-1.
Wakeup interrupt requests will only be serviced if the associated interrupt enable bit, AWUIE, in KBIER
is set. The AWU shares the keyboard interrupt vector.
The overflow count can be selected from two options defined by the COPRS bit in CONFIG1. This bit was
“borrowed” from the computer operating properly (COP) using the fact that the COP feature is idle (no
MCU clock available) in stop mode. COPRS = 1 selects the short wakeup period while COPRS = 0 selects
the long wakeup period.
The auto wakeup RC oscillator (INTRCOSC) is highly dependent on operating voltage and temperature.
This feature is not recommended for use as a time-keeping function.
The wakeup request is latched to allow the interrupt source identification. The latched value, AWUL, can
be read directly from the bit 6 position of PTA data register. This is a read-only bit which is occupying an
empty bit position on PTA. No PTA associated registers, such as PTA6 data, PTA6 direction, and PTA6
pullup exist for this bit. The latch can be cleared by writing to the ACKK bit in the KBSCR register. Reset
also clears the latch. AWUIE bit in KBI interrupt enable register (see Figure 4-1) has no effect on AWUL
reading.
The AWU oscillator and counters are inactive in normal operating mode and become active only upon
entering stop mode.
4.4 Interrupts
The AWU can generate an interrupt request:
AWU Latch (AWUL) — The AWUL bit is set when the AWU counter overflows. The auto wakeup
interrupt mask bit, AWUIE, is used to enable or disable AWU interrupt requests.
The AWU shares its interrupt with the KBI vector.

Low-Power Modes
4.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
4.5.1 Wait Mode
The AWU module is inactive in wait mode.
4.5.2 Stop Mode
When the AWU module is enabled (AWUIE = 1 in the keyboard interrupt enable register) it is activated
automatically upon entering stop mode. Clearing the IMASKK bit in the keyboard status and control
register enables keyboard interrupt requests to bring the MCU out of stop mode. The AWU counters start
from 0 each time stop mode is entered.
4.6 Registers
The AWU shares registers with the keyboard interrupt (KBI) module, the port A I/O module and
configuration register 2. The following I/O registers control and monitor operation of the AWU:
• Port A data register (PTA)
• Keyboard interrupt status and control register (KBSCR)
• Keyboard interrupt enable register (KBIER)
• Configuration register 1 (CONFIG1)
• Configuration register 2 (CONFIG2)
4.6.1 Port A I/O Register
The port A data register (PTA) contains a data latch for the state of the AWU interrupt request, in addition
to the data latches for port A.

Configuration Register (CONFIG)
5.1 Introduction
This section describes the configuration registers (CONFIG1 and CONFIG2). The configuration registers
enable or disable the following options:
• Stop mode recovery time (32 × BUSCLKX4 cycles or 4096 × BUSCLKX4 cycles)
• STOP instruction
• Computer operating properly module (COP)
• COP reset period (COPRS): 8176 × BUSCLKX4 or 262,128 × BUSCLKX4
• Low-voltage inhibit (LVI) enable and trip voltage selection
• Auto wakeup timeout period
• Allow clock source to remain enabled in STOP
• Enable IRQ pin
• Disable IRQ pin pullup device
• Enable RST pin
5.2 Functional Description
The configuration registers are used in the initialization of various options. The configuration registers can
be written once after each reset. Most of the configuration register bits are cleared during reset. Since the
various options affect the operation of the microcontroller unit (MCU) it is recommended that this register
be written immediately after reset. The configuration registers are located at $001E and $001F, and may
be read at anytime.
NOTE
The CONFIG registers are one-time writable by the user after each reset.
Upon a reset, the CONFIG registers default to predetermined settings as
shown in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.

Computer Operating Properly (COP)
6.1 Introduction
The computer operating properly (COP) module contains a free-running counter that generates a reset if
allowed to overflow. The COP module helps software recover from runaway code. Prevent a COP reset
by clearing the COP counter periodically. The COP module can be disabled through the COPD bit in the
configuration 1 (CONFIG1) register.

Computer Operating Properly (COP)
The COP counter is a free-running 6-bit counter preceded by the 12-bit system integration module (SIM)
counter. If not cleared by software, the COP counter overflows and generates an asynchronous reset after
262,128 or 8176 BUSCLKX4 cycles; depending on the state of the COP rate select bit, COPRS, in
configuration register 1. With a 262,128 BUSCLKX4 cycle overflow option, the internal 12.8-MHz
oscillator gives a COP timeout period of 20.48 ms. Writing any value to location $FFFF before an overflow
occurs prevents a COP reset by clearing the COP counter and stages 12–5 of the SIM counter.
NOTE
Service the COP immediately after reset and before entering or after exiting
stop mode to guarantee the maximum time before the first COP counter
overflow.
A COP reset pulls the RST pin low (if the RSTEN bit is set in the CONFIG1 register) for 32 × BUSCLKX4
cycles and sets the COP bit in the reset status register (RSR). See 13.8.1 SIM Reset Status Register.
NOTE
Place COP clearing instructions in the main program and not in an interrupt
subroutine. Such an interrupt subroutine could keep the COP from
generating a reset even while the main program is not working properly.
6.3 I/O Signals
The following paragraphs describe the signals shown in Figure 6-1.
6.3.1 BUSCLKX4
BUSCLKX4 is the oscillator output signal. BUSCLKX4 frequency is equal to the crystal frequency or the
RC-oscillator frequency.
6.3.2 STOP Instruction
The STOP instruction clears the SIM counter.
6.3.3 COPCTL Write
Writing any value to the COP control register (COPCTL) (see Figure 6-2) clears the COP counter and
clears stages 12–5 of the SIM counter. Reading the COP control register returns the low byte of the reset
vector.
6.3.4 Power-On Reset
The power-on reset (POR) circuit in the SIM clears the SIM counter 4096 × BUSCLKX4 cycles after power
up.
6.3.5 Internal Reset
An internal reset clears the SIM counter and the COP counter.
6.3.6 COPD (COP Disable)
The COPD signal reflects the state of the COP disable bit (COPD) in the configuration register (CONFIG).
See Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG).

Freescale Semiconductor
Interrupts
6.3.7 COPRS (COP Rate Select)
The COPRS signal reflects the state of the COP rate select bit (COPRS) in the configuration register 1
(CONFIG1). See Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG).
6.4 Interrupts
The COP does not generate CPU interrupt requests.
6.5 Monitor Mode
The COP is disabled in monitor mode when VTST is present on the IRQ pin.
6.6 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
6.6.1 Wait Mode
The COP continues to operate during wait mode. To prevent a COP reset during wait mode, periodically
clear the COP counter.
6.6.2 Stop Mode
Stop mode turns off the BUSCLKX4 input to the COP and clears the SIM counter. Service the COP
immediately before entering or after exiting stop mode to ensure a full COP timeout period after entering
or exiting stop mode.
6.7 COP Module During Break Mode
The COP is disabled during a break interrupt with monitor mode when BDCOP bit is set in break auxiliary
register (BRKAR).
6.8 Register
The COP control register (COPCTL) is located at address $FFFF and overlaps the reset vector. Writing
any value to $FFFF clears the COP counter and starts a new timeout period. Reading location $FFFF
returns the low byte of the reset vector.

7.3.3 Stack Pointer
The stack pointer is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next location on the stack. During a
reset, the stack pointer is preset to $00FF. The reset stack pointer (RSP) instruction sets the least
significant byte to $FF and does not affect the most significant byte. The stack pointer decrements as data
is pushed onto the stack and increments as data is pulled from the stack.
In the stack pointer 8-bit offset and 16-bit offset addressing modes, the stack pointer can function as an
index register to access data on the stack. The CPU uses the contents of the stack pointer to determine
the conditional address of the operand.

NOTE
The location of the stack is arbitrary and may be relocated anywhere in
random-access memory (RAM). Moving the SP out of page 0 ($0000 to
$00FF) frees direct address (page 0) space. For correct operation, the
stack pointer must point only to RAM locations.
7.3.4 Program Counter
The program counter is a 16-bit register that contains the address of the next instruction or operand to be
fetched.
Normally, the program counter automatically increments to the next sequential memory location every
time an instruction or operand is fetched. Jump, branch, and interrupt operations load the program
counter with an address other than that of the next sequential location.
During reset, the program counter is loaded with the reset vector address located at $FFFE and $FFFF.
The vector address is the address of the first instruction to be executed after exiting the reset state.

V — Overflow Flag
The CPU sets the overflow flag when a two's complement overflow occurs. The signed branch
instructions BGT, BGE, BLE, and BLT use the overflow flag.
1 = Overflow
0 = No overflow
H — 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 flags to determine the appropriate correction factor.
1 = Carry between bits 3 and 4
0 = No carry between bits 3 and 4
I — Interrupt Mask
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 interrupt vector is fetched.
1 = Interrupts disabled
0 = Interrupts enabled
NOTE
To maintain M6805 Family compatibility, the upper byte of the index
register (H) is not stacked automatically. If the interrupt service routine
modifies H, then the user must stack and unstack H using the PSHH and
PULH instructions.
After the I bit is cleared, the highest-priority interrupt request is serviced first.
A return-from-interrupt (RTI) instruction pulls the CPU registers from the stack and restores the
interrupt mask from the stack. After any reset, the interrupt mask is set and can be cleared only by the
clear interrupt mask software instruction (CLI).
N — Negative Flag
The CPU sets the negative flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data manipulation
produces a negative result, setting bit 7 of the result.
1 = Negative result
0 = Non-negative result
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
74
Freescale Semiconductor
Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU)
Z — Zero Flag
The CPU sets the zero flag when an arithmetic operation, logic operation, or data manipulation
produces a result of $00.
1 = Zero result
0 = Non-zero result
C — Carry/Borrow Flag
The CPU sets the carry/borrow flag when an addition operation produces a carry out of bit 7 of the
accumulator or when a subtraction operation requires a borrow. Some instructions — such as bit test
and branch, shift, and rotate — also clear or set the carry/borrow flag.
1 = Carry out of bit 7
0 = No carry out of bit 7
7.4 Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU)
The ALU performs the arithmetic and logic operations defined by the instruction set.
Refer to the CPU08 Reference Manual (document order number CPU08RM/AD) for a description of the
instructions and addressing modes and more detail about the architecture of the CPU.
7.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
7.5.1 Wait Mode
The WAIT instruction:
• Clears the interrupt mask (I bit) in the condition code register, enabling interrupts. After exit from
wait mode by interrupt, the I bit remains clear. After exit by reset, the I bit is set.
• Disables the CPU clock
7.5.2 Stop Mode
The STOP instruction:
• Clears the interrupt mask (I bit) in the condition code register, enabling external interrupts. After
exit from stop mode by external interrupt, the I bit remains clear. After exit by reset, the I bit is set.
• Disables the CPU clock
After exiting stop mode, the CPU clock begins running after the oscillator stabilization delay.
7.6 CPU During Break Interrupts
If a break module is present on the MCU, the CPU starts a break interrupt by:
• Loading the instruction register with the SWI instruction
• Loading the program counter with $FFFC:$FFFD or with $FEFC:$FEFD in monitor mode
The break interrupt begins after completion of the CPU instruction in progress. If the break address
register match occurs on the last cycle of a CPU instruction, the break interrupt begins immediately.
A return-from-interrupt instruction (RTI) in the break routine ends the break interrupt and returns the MCU
to normal operation if the break interrupt has been deasserted.

External Interrupt (IRQ)
8.1 Introduction
The IRQ (external interrupt) module provides a maskable interrupt input.
IRQ functionality is enabled by setting configuration register 2 (CONFIG2) IRQEN bit accordingly. A zero
disables the IRQ function and IRQ will assume the other shared functionalities. A one enables the IRQ
function. See Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG) for more information on enabling the IRQ pin.
The IRQ pin shares its pin with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 8-1 for port
location of this shared pin.
8.2 Features
Features of the IRQ module include:
• A dedicated external interrupt pin IRQ
• IRQ interrupt control bits
• Programmable edge-only or edge and level interrupt sensitivity
• Automatic interrupt acknowledge
• Internal pullup device
8.3 Functional Description
A low level applied to the external interrupt request (IRQ) pin can latch a CPU interrupt request. Figure 8-2
shows the structure of the IRQ module.
Interrupt signals on the IRQ pin are latched into the IRQ latch. The IRQ latch remains set until one of the
following actions occurs:
• IRQ vector fetch. An IRQ vector fetch automatically generates an interrupt acknowledge signal that
clears the latch that caused the vector fetch.
• Software clear. Software can clear the IRQ latch by writing a 1 to the ACK bit in the interrupt status
and control register (INTSCR).
• Reset. A reset automatically clears the IRQ latch.
The external IRQ pin is falling edge sensitive out of reset and is software-configurable to be either falling
edge or falling edge and low level sensitive. The MODE bit in INTSCR controls the triggering sensitivity
of the IRQ pin.

8.3.1 MODE = 1
If the MODE bit is set, the IRQ pin is both falling edge sensitive and low level sensitive. With MODE set,
both of the following actions must occur to clear the IRQ interrupt request:
• Return of the IRQ pin to a high level. As long as the IRQ pin is low, the IRQ request remains active.
• IRQ vector fetch or software clear. An IRQ vector fetch generates an interrupt acknowledge signal
to clear the IRQ latch. Software generates the interrupt acknowledge signal by writing a 1 to ACK
in INTSCR. The ACK bit is useful in applications that poll the IRQ pin and require software to clear
the IRQ latch. Writing to ACK prior to leaving an interrupt service routine can also prevent spurious
interrupts due to noise. Setting ACK does not affect subsequent transitions on the IRQ pin. A falling
edge that occurs after writing to ACK latches another interrupt request. If the IRQ mask bit, IMASK,
is clear, the CPU loads the program counter with the IRQ vector address.
The IRQ vector fetch or software clear and the return of the IRQ pin to a high level may occur in any order.
The interrupt request remains pending as long as the IRQ pin is low. A reset will clear the IRQ latch and
the MODE control bit, thereby clearing the interrupt even if the pin stays low.
Use the BIH or BIL instruction to read the logic level on the IRQ pin.
8.3.2 MODE = 0
If the MODE bit is clear, the IRQ pin is falling edge sensitive only. With MODE clear, an IRQ vector fetch
or software clear immediately clears the IRQ latch.
The IRQF bit in INTSCR can be read to check for pending interrupts. The IRQF bit is not affected by
IMASK, which makes it useful in applications where polling is preferred.
NOTE
When using the level-sensitive interrupt trigger, avoid false IRQ interrupts
by masking interrupt requests in the interrupt routine.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8

External Interrupt (IRQ)
8.4 Interrupts
The following IRQ source can generate interrupt requests:
• Interrupt flag (IRQF) — The IRQF bit is set when the IRQ pin is asserted based on the IRQ mode..
The IRQ interrupt mask bit, IMASK, is used to enable or disable IRQ interrupt requests.
8.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
8.5.1 Wait Mode
The IRQ module remains active in wait mode. Clearing IMASK in INTSCR enables IRQ interrupt requests
to bring the MCU out of wait mode.
8.5.2 Stop Mode
The IRQ module remains active in stop mode. Clearing IMASK in INTSCR enables IRQ interrupt requests
to bring the MCU out of stop mode.
8.6 IRQ Module During Break Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status
bits during the break state. See BFCR in the SIM section of this data sheet.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a 1 to BCFE. If a status bit is cleared
during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a 0 to BCFE. With BCFE cleared (its default state),
software can read and write registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some status bits
have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit before the
break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is cleared. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
8.7 I/O Signals
The IRQ module does not share its pin with any module on this MCU.
8.7.1 IRQ Input Pins (IRQ)
The IRQ pin provides a maskable external interrupt source. The IRQ pin contains an internal pullup
device.

8.8 Registers
The IRQ status and control register (INTSCR) controls and monitors operation of the IRQ module. The
INTSCR:
• Shows the state of the IRQ flag
• Clears the IRQ latch
• Masks the IRQ interrupt request
• Controls triggering sensitivity of the IRQ interrupt pin

Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI)
9.1 Introduction
The keyboard interrupt module (KBI) provides independently maskable external interrupts.
The KBI shares its pins with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 9-1 for port location
of these shared pins.
9.2 Features
Features of the keyboard interrupt module include:
• Keyboard interrupt pins with separate keyboard interrupt enable bits and one keyboard interrupt
mask
• Programmable edge-only or edge and level interrupt sensitivity
• Edge sensitivity programmable for rising or falling edge
• Level sensitivity programmable for high or low level
• KBI can be configured to use either internal or external pullup/pulldown devices using PTAPUE,
see 12.3.3 Port A Input Pullup/Down Enable Register
– When in internal device is enabled, pullup or pulldown device automatically configured based
on the polarity of edge or level detect
• Exit from low-power modes
9.3 Functional Description
The keyboard interrupt module controls the enabling/disabling of interrupt functions on the KBI pins.
These pins can be enabled/disabled independently of each other. See Figure 9-2.
9.3.1 Keyboard Operation
Writing to the KBIEx bits in the keyboard interrupt enable register (KBIER) independently enables or
disables each KBI pin. The polarity of the keyboard interrupt is controlled using the KBIPx bits in the
keyboard interrupt polarity register (KBIPR). Edge-only or edge and level sensitivity is controlled using the
MODEK bit in the keyboard status and control register (KBISCR).
Enabling a keyboard interrupt pin also enables its internal pullup or pulldown device based on the polarity
enabled and the corresponding port pullup/down enable bit, PTAPUEx see 12.3.3 Port A Input
Pullup/Down Enable Register. On falling edge or low level detection, a pullup device is configured. On
rising edge or high level detection, a pulldown device is configured.

Functional Description
The keyboard interrupt latch is set when one or more enabled keyboard interrupt inputs are asserted.
• If the keyboard interrupt sensitivity is edge-only, for KBIPx = 0, a falling (for KBIPx = 1, a rising)
edge on a keyboard interrupt input does not latch an interrupt request if another enabled keyboard
pin is already asserted. To prevent losing an interrupt request on one input because another input
remains asserted, software can disable the latter input while it is asserted.
• If the keyboard interrupt is edge and level sensitive, an interrupt request is present as long as any
enabled keyboard interrupt input is asserted.

Figure 9-2. Keyboard Interrupt Block Diagram
9.3.1.1 MODEK = 1
If the MODEK bit is set, the keyboard interrupt inputs are both edge and level sensitive. The KBIPx bit will
determine whether a edge sensitive pin detects rising or falling edges and on level sensitive pins whether
the pin detects low or high levels. With MODEK set, both of the following actions must occur to clear a
keyboard interrupt request:
• Return of all enabled keyboard interrupt inputs to a deasserted level. As long as any enabled
keyboard interrupt pin is asserted, the keyboard interrupt remains active.
• Vector fetch or software clear. A KBI vector fetch generates an interrupt acknowledge signal to
clear the KBI latch. Software generates the interrupt acknowledge signal by writing a 1 to ACKK in
KBSCR. The ACKK bit is useful in applications that poll the keyboard interrupt inputs and require
software to clear the KBI latch. Writing to ACKK prior to leaving an interrupt service routine can
also prevent spurious interrupts due to noise. Setting ACKK does not affect subsequent transitions
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8

Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI)
on the keyboard interrupt inputs. An edge detect that occurs after writing to ACKK latches another
interrupt request. If the keyboard interrupt mask bit, IMASKK, is clear, the CPU loads the program
counter with the KBI vector address.
The KBI vector fetch or software clear and the return of all enabled keyboard interrupt pins to a deasserted
level may occur in any order.
Reset clears the keyboard interrupt request and the MODEK bit, clearing the interrupt request even if a
keyboard interrupt input stays asserted.
9.3.1.2 MODEK = 0
If the MODEK bit is clear, the keyboard interrupt inputs are edge sensitive. The KBIPx bit will determine
whether an edge sensitive pin detects rising or falling edges. A KBI vector fetch or software clear
immediately clears the KBI latch.
The keyboard flag bit (KEYF) in KBSCR can be read to check for pending interrupts. The KEYF bit is not
affected by IMASKK, which makes it useful in applications where polling is preferred.
NOTE
Setting a keyboard interrupt enable bit (KBIEx) forces the corresponding
keyboard interrupt pin to be an input, overriding the data direction register.
However, the data direction register bit must be a 0 for software to read the
pin.
9.3.2 Keyboard Initialization
When a keyboard interrupt pin is enabled, it takes time for the internal pullup or pulldown device if selected
to pull the pin to its deasserted level. Therefore a false interrupt can occur as soon as the pin is enabled.
To prevent a false interrupt on keyboard initialization:
1. Mask keyboard interrupts by setting IMASKK in KBSCR.
2. Enable the KBI polarity by setting the appropriate KBIPx bits in KBIPR.
3. Enable the KBI pins by setting the appropriate KBIEx bits in KBIER.
4. Write to ACKK in KBSCR to clear any false interrupts.
5. Clear IMASKK.
An interrupt signal on an edge sensitive pin can be acknowledged immediately after enabling the pin. An
interrupt signal on an edge and level sensitive pin must be acknowledged after a delay that depends on
the external load.
9.4 Interrupts
The following KBI source can generate interrupt requests:
• Keyboard flag (KEYF) — The KEYF bit is set when any enabled KBI pin is asserted based on the
KBI mode and pin polarity. The keyboard interrupt mask bit, IMASKK, is used to enable or disable
KBI interrupt requests.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8

Freescale Semiconductor
Low-Power Modes
9.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
9.5.1 Wait Mode
The KBI module remains active in wait mode. Clearing IMASKK in KBSCR enables keyboard interrupt
requests to bring the MCU out of wait mode.
9.5.2 Stop Mode
The KBI module remains active in stop mode. Clearing IMASKK in KBSCR enables keyboard interrupt
requests to bring the MCU out of stop mode.
9.6 KBI During Break Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status
bits during the break state. See BFCR in the SIM section of this data sheet.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a 1 to BCFE. If a status bit is cleared
during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a 0 to BCFE. With BCFE cleared (its default state),
software can read and write registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some status bits
have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit before the
break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is cleared. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
9.7 I/O Signals
The KBI module can share its pins with the general-purpose I/O pins. See Figure 9-1 for the port pins that
are shared.
9.7.1 KBI Input Pins (KBI5:KBI0)
Each KBI pin is independently programmable as an external interrupt source. KBI pin polarity can be
controlled independently. Each KBI pin when enabled can be configured to use an internal pullup/pulldown
device using the corresponding PTAPUEx bit see 12.3.3 Port A Input Pullup/Down Enable Register. The
selection of pullup or pulldown is automatically configured to match the polarity selected in KBIPR.
9.8 Registers
The following registers control and monitor operation of the KBI module:
• KBSCR (keyboard interrupt status and control register)
• KBIER (keyboard interrupt enable register)
• KBIPR (keyboard interrupt polarity register)

Low-Voltage Inhibit (LVI)
10.1 Introduction
The low-voltage inhibit (LVI) module is provided as a system protection mechanism to prevent the MCU
from operating below a certain operating supply voltage level. The module has several configuration
options to allow functionality to be tailored to different system level demands.
The configuration registers (see Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG)) contain control bits for this
module.
10.2 Features
Features of the LVI module include:
• Programmable LVI reset
• Selectable LVI trip voltage
• Programmable stop mode operation
10.3 Functional Description
Figure 10-1 shows the structure of the LVI module. LVISTOP, LVIPWRD, LVITRIP, and LVIRSTD are
user selectable options found in the configuration register.

97
Low-Voltage Inhibit (LVI)
The LVI module contains a bandgap reference circuit and comparator. When the LVITRIP bit is cleared,
the default state at power-on reset, VTRIPF is configured for the lower VDD operating range. The actual
trip points are specified in 17.5 5-V DC Electrical Characteristics and 17.8 3.3-V DC Electrical
Characteristics.
Because the default LVI trip point after power-on reset is configured for low voltage operation, a system
requiring high voltage LVI operation must set the LVITRIP bit during system initialization. VDD must be
above the LVI trip rising voltage, VTRIPR, for the high voltage operating range or the MCU will immediately
go into LVI reset.
After an LVI reset occurs, the MCU remains in reset until VDD rises above VTRIPR. See Chapter 13 System
Integration Module (SIM) for the reset recovery sequence.
The output of the comparator controls the state of the LVIOUT flag in the LVI status register (LVISR) and
can be used for polling LVI operation when the LVI reset is disabled.
The LVI is enabled out of reset. The following bits located in the configuration register can alter the default
conditions.
• Setting the LVI power disable bit, LVIPWRD, disables the LVI.
• Setting the LVI reset disable bit, LVIRSTD, prevents the LVI module from generating a reset.
• Setting the LVI enable in stop mode bit, LVISTOP, enables the LVI to operate in stop mode.
• Setting the LVI trip point bit, LVITRIP, configures the trip point voltage (VTRIPF) for the higher VDD
operating range.
10.3.1 Polled LVI Operation
In applications that can operate at VDD levels below the VTRIPF level, software can monitor VDD by polling
the LVIOUT bit. In the configuration register, LVIPWRD must be cleared to enable the LVI module, and
LVIRSTD must be set to disable LVI resets.
10.3.2 Forced Reset Operation
In applications that require VDD to remain above the VTRIPF level, enabling LVI resets allows the LVI
module to reset the MCU when VDD falls below the VTRIPF level. In the configuration register, LVIPWRD
and LVIRSTD must be cleared to enable the LVI module and to enable LVI resets.
10.3.3 LVI Hysteresis
The LVI has hysteresis to maintain a stable operating condition. After the LVI has triggered (by having
VDD fall below VTRIPF), the MCU will remain in reset until VDD rises above the rising trip point voltage,
VTRIPR. This prevents a condition in which the MCU is continually entering and exiting reset if VDD is
approximately equal to VTRIPF. VTRIPR is greater than VTRIPF by the typical hysteresis voltage, VHYS.
10.3.4 LVI Trip Selection
LVITRIP in the configuration register selects the LVI protection range. The default setting out of reset is
for the low voltage range. Because LVITRIP is in a write-once configuration register, the protection range
cannot be changed after initialization.
NOTE
The MCU is guaranteed to operate at a minimum supply voltage. The trip
point (VTRIPF) may be lower than this. See Chapter 17 Electrical
Specifications for the actual trip point voltages.

10.4 LVI Interrupts
The LVI module does not generate interrupt requests.
10.5 Low-Power Modes
The STOP and WAIT instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
10.5.1 Wait Mode
If enabled, the LVI module remains active in wait mode. If enabled to generate resets, the LVI module can
generate a reset and bring the MCU out of wait mode.
10.5.2 Stop Mode
If the LVIPWRD bit in the configuration register is cleared and the LVISTOP bit in the configuration
register is set, the LVI module remains active. If enabled to generate resets, the LVI module can generate
a reset and bring the MCU out of stop mode.
10.6 Registers
The LVI status register (LVISR) contains a status bit that is useful when the LVI is enabled and LVI reset
is disabled.

Oscillator Module (OSC)
11.1 Introduction
The oscillator (OSC) module is used to provide a stable clock source for the MCU system and bus.
The OSC shares its pins with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 11-1 for port
location of these shared pins. The OSC2EN bit is located in the port A pull enable register (PTAPUEN)
on this MCU. See Chapter 12 Input/Output Ports (PORTS) for information on PTAPUEN register.
11.2 Features
The bus clock frequency is one fourth of any of these clock source options:
1. Internal oscillator: An internally generated, fixed frequency clock, trimmable to ± 0.4%. There are
four choices for the internal oscillator, 25.6 MHz, 12.8 MHz, 8 MHz or 4 MHz. The 12.8-MHz
internal oscillator is the default option out of reset.
2. External oscillator: An external clock that can be driven directly into OSC1.
3. External RC: A built-in oscillator module (RC oscillator) that requires an external R connection only.
The capacitor is internal to the chip.
4. External crystal: A built-in XTAL oscillator that requires an external crystal or ceramic-resonator.
There are three crystal frequency ranges supported, 8–32 MHz, 1–8 MHz, and 32–100 kHz.
11.3 Functional Description
The oscillator contains these major subsystems:
• Internal oscillator circuit
• Internal or external clock switch control
• External clock circuit
• External crystal circuit
• External RC clock circuit

Freescale Semiconductor
Functional Description
11.3.1 Internal Signal Definitions
The following signals and clocks are used in the functional description and figures of the OSC module.
11.3.1.1 Oscillator Enable Signal (SIMOSCEN)
The SIMOSCEN signal comes from the system integration module (SIM) and disables the XTAL oscillator
circuit, the RC oscillator, or the internal oscillator in stop mode. OSCENINSTOP in the configuration
register can be used to override this signal.
11.3.1.2 XTAL Oscillator Clock (XTALCLK)
XTALCLK is the XTAL oscillator output signal. It runs at the full speed of the crystal (fXCLK) and comes
directly from the crystal oscillator circuit. Figure 11-2 shows only the logical relation of XTALCLK to OSC1
and OSC2 and may not represent the actual circuitry. The duty cycle of XTALCLK is unknown and may
depend on the crystal and other external factors. The frequency of XTALCLK can be unstable at start up.
11.3.1.3 RC Oscillator Clock (RCCLK)
RCCLK is the RC oscillator output signal. Its frequency is directly proportional to the time constant of the
external R (REXT) and internal C. Figure 11-3 shows only the logical relation of RCCLK to OSC1 and may
not represent the actual circuitry.
11.3.1.4 Internal Oscillator Clock (INTCLK)
INTCLK is the internal oscillator output signal. INTCLK is software selectable to be nominally 25.6 MHz,
12.8 MHz, 8.0 MHz, or 4.0 MHz. INTCLK can be digitally adjusted using the oscillator trimming feature of
the OSCTRIM register (see 11.3.2.1 Internal Oscillator Trimming).
11.3.1.5 Bus Clock Times 4 (BUSCLKX4)
BUSCLKX4 is the same frequency as the input clock (XTALCLK, RCCLK, or INTCLK). This signal is
driven to the SIM module and is used during recovery from reset and stop and is the clock source for the
COP module.
11.3.1.6 Bus Clock Times 2 (BUSCLKX2)
The frequency of this signal is equal to half of the BUSCLKX4. This signal is driven to the SIM for
generation of the bus clocks used by the CPU and other modules on the MCU. BUSCLKX2 will be divided
by two in the SIM. The internal bus frequency is one fourth of the XTALCLK, RCCLK, or INTCLK
frequency.
11.3.2 Internal Oscillator
The internal oscillator circuit is designed for use with no external components to provide a clock source
with a tolerance of less than ±25% untrimmed. An 8-bit register (OSCTRIM) allows the digital adjustment
to a tolerance of ACCINT. See the oscillator characteristics in the Electrical section of this data sheet.
The internal oscillator is capable of generating clocks of 25.6 MHz, 12.8 MHz, 8.0 MHz, or 4.0 MHz
(INTCLK) resulting in a bus frequency (INTCLK divided by 4) of 6.4 MHz, 3.2 MHz, 2.0 MHz, or 1.0 MHz
respectively. The bus clock is software selectable and defaults to the 3.2-MHz bus out of reset. Users can
increase the bus frequency based on the voltage range of their application.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
103
Oscillator Module (OSC)
Figure 11-3 shows how BUSCLKX4 is derived from INTCLK and OSC2 can output BUSCLKX4 by setting
OSC2EN.
11.3.2.1 Internal Oscillator Trimming
OSCTRIM allows a clock period adjustment of +127 and –128 steps. Increasing the OSCTRIM value
increases the clock period, which decreases the clock frequency. Trimming allows the internal clock
frequency to be fine tuned to the target frequency.
All devices are factory programmed with a trim value that is stored in FLASH memory at location $FFC0.
The trim value is not automatically loaded into the OSCTRIM register. User software must copy the trim
value from $FFC0 into OSCTRIM if needed. The factory trim value provides the accuracy required for
communication using forced monitor mode. Some production programmers erase the factory trim value,
so confirm with your programmer vendor that the trim value at $FFC0 is preserved, or is re-trimmed.
Trimming the device in the user application board will provide the most accurate trim value.
11.3.2.2 Internal to External Clock Switching
When external clock source (external OSC, RC, or XTAL) is desired, the user must perform the following
steps:
1. For external crystal circuits only, configure OSCOPT[1:0] to external crystal. To help precharge an
external crystal oscillator, momentarily configure OSC2 as an output and drive it high for several
cycles. This can help the crystal circuit start more robustly.
2. Configure OSCOPT[1:0] and ECFS[1:0] according to 11.8.1 Oscillator Status and Control Register.
The oscillator module control logic will then enable OSC1 as an external clock input and, if the
external crystal option is selected, OSC2 will also be enabled as the clock output. If RC oscillator
option is selected, enabling the OSC2 output may change the bus frequency.
3. Create a software delay to provide the stabilization time required for the selected clock source
(crystal, resonator, RC). A good rule of thumb for crystal oscillators is to wait 4096 cycles of the
crystal frequency; i.e., for a 4-MHz crystal, wait approximately 1 ms.
4. After the stabilization delay has elapsed, set ECGON.
After ECGON set is detected, the OSC module checks for oscillator activity by waiting two external clock
rising edges. The OSC module then switches to the external clock. Logic provides a coherent transition.
The OSC module first sets ECGST and then stops the internal oscillator.
11.3.2.3 External to Internal Clock Switching
After following the procedures to switch to an external clock source, it is possible to go back to the internal
source. By clearing the OSCOPT[1:0] bits and clearing the ECGON bit, the external circuit will be
disengaged. The bus clock will be derived from the selected internal clock source based on the ICFS[1:0]
bits.
11.3.3 External Oscillator
The external oscillator option is designed for use when a clock signal is available in the application to
provide a clock source to the MCU. The OSC1 pin is enabled as an input by the oscillator module. The
clock signal is used directly to create BUSCLKX4 and also divided by two to create BUSCLKX2.
In this configuration, the OSC2 pin cannot output BUSCLKX4. The OSC2EN bit will be forced clear to
enable alternative functions on the pin.

Freescale Semiconductor
Functional Description
11.3.4 XTAL Oscillator
The XTAL oscillator circuit is designed for use with an external crystal or ceramic resonator to provide an
accurate clock source. In this configuration, the OSC2 pin is dedicated to the external crystal circuit. The
OSC2EN bit has no effect when this clock mode is selected.
In its typical configuration, the XTAL oscillator is connected in a Pierce oscillator configuration, as shown
in Figure 11-2. This figure shows only the logical representation of the internal components and may not
represent actual circuitry.
The oscillator configuration uses five components:
• Crystal, X1
• Fixed capacitor, C1
• Tuning capacitor, C2 (can also be a fixed capacitor)
• Feedback resistor, RB
• Series resistor, RS (optional)
NOTE
The series resistor (RS) is included in the diagram to follow strict Pierce
oscillator guidelines and may not be required for all ranges of operation,
especially with high frequency crystals. Refer to the oscillator
characteristics table in the electricals section for more information.

11.3.5 RC Oscillator
The RC oscillator circuit is designed for use with an external resistor (REXT) to provide a clock source with
a tolerance within 25% of the expected frequency. See Figure 11-3.
The capacitor (C) for the RC oscillator is internal to the MCU. The REXT value must have a tolerance of
1% or less to minimize its effect on the frequency.
In this configuration, the OSC2 pin can be used as general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins or other
alternative pin function. The OSC2EN bit can be set to enable the OSC2 output function on the pin.
Enabling the OSC2 output can affect the external RC oscillator frequency, fRCCLK.

OSC During Break Interrupts
11.6 OSC During Break Interrupts
There are no status flags associated with the OSC module.
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status
bits during the break state. See BFCR in the SIM section of this data sheet.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a 1 to BCFE. If a status bit is cleared
during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a 0 to BCFE. With BCFE cleared (its default state),
software can read and write registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some status bits
have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit before the
break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is cleared. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
11.7 I/O Signals
The OSC shares its pins with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 11-1 for port
location of these shared pins.
11.7.1 Oscillator Input Pin (OSC1)
The OSC1 pin is an input to the crystal oscillator amplifier, an input to the RC oscillator circuit, or an input
from an external clock source.
When the OSC is configured for internal oscillator, the OSC1 pin can be used as a general-purpose
input/output (I/O) port pin or other alternative pin function.
11.7.2 Oscillator Output Pin (OSC2)
For the XTAL oscillator option, the OSC2 pin is the output of the crystal oscillator amplifier.
When the OSC is configured for internal oscillator, external clock, or RC, the OSC2 pin can be used as a
general-purpose I/O port pin or other alternative pin function. When the oscillator is configured for internal
or RC, the OSC2 pin can be used to output BUSCLKX4.

Oscillator Module (OSC)
11.8 Registers
The oscillator module contains two registers:
• Oscillator status and control register (OSCSC)
• Oscillator trim register (OSCTRIM)
11.8.1 Oscillator Status and Control Register
The oscillator status and control register (OSCSC) contains the bits for switching between internal and
external clock sources. If the application uses an external crystal, bits in this register are used to select
the crystal oscillator amplifier necessary for the desired crystal. While running off the internal clock source,
the user can use bits in this register to select the internal clock source frequency.

TRIM7–TRIM0 — Internal Oscillator Trim Factor Bits
These read/write bits change the internal capacitance used by the internal oscillator. By measuring the
period of the internal clock and adjusting this factor accordingly, the frequency of the internal clock can
be fine tuned. Increasing (decreasing) this factor by one increases (decreases) the period by
approximately 0.2% of the untrimmed oscillator period. The oscillator period is based on the oscillator
frequency selected by the ICFS bits in OSCSC.
Applications using the internal oscillator should copy the internal oscillator trim value at location $FFC0
into this register to trim the clock source.

Input/Output Ports (PORTS)
12.1 Introduction
The MC68HC908QL4 has thirteen bidirectional input-output (I/O) pins and one input only pin. All I/O pins
are programmable as inputs or outputs.
12.2 Unused Pin Termination
Input pins and I/O port pins that are not used in the application must be terminated. This prevents excess
current caused by floating inputs, and enhances immunity during noise or transient events. Termination
methods include:
1. Configuring unused pins as outputs and driving high or low;
2. Configuring unused pins as inputs and enabling internal pull-ups;
3. Configuring unused pins as inputs and using external pull-up or pull-down resistors.
Never connect unused pins directly to VDD or VSS.
Since some general-purpose I/O pins are not available on all packages, these pins must be terminated
as well. Either method 1 or 2 above are appropriate.
12.3 Port A
Port A is an 6-bit special function port that shares its pins with the keyboard interrupt (KBI) module (see
Chapter 9 Keyboard Interrupt Module (KBI), the 2-channel timer interface module (TIM) (see Chapter 15
Timer Interface Module (TIM)), the 10-bit ADC (see Chapter 3 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC10)
Module), the external interrupt (IRQ) pin (see Chapter 8 External Interrupt (IRQ)), the reset (RST) pin
enabled using a configuration register (see Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG)) and the
oscillator pins (see Chapter 11 Oscillator Module (OSC)).
Each port A pin also has a software configurable pullup/down device if the corresponding port pin is
configured as an input port.
NOTE
PTA2 is input only.
When the IRQ function is enabled in the configuration register 2
(CONFIG2), bit 2 of the port A data register (PTA) will always read a logic 0.
In this case, the BIH and BIL instructions can be used to read the logic level
on the PTA2 pin. When the IRQ function is disabled, these instructions will
behave as if the PTA2 pin is a logic 1. However, reading bit 2 of PTA will
read the actual logic level on the pin.

This is a read-only bit which has the value of the auto wakeup interrupt request latch. The wakeup
request signal is generated internally (see Chapter 4 Auto Wakeup Module (AWU)). There is no PTA6
port nor any of the associated bits such as PTA6 data register, pullup/down enable or direction.
12.3.2 Data Direction Register A
Data direction register A (DDRA) determines whether each port A pin is an input or an output. Writing a
1 to a DDRA bit enables the output buffer for the corresponding port A pin; a 0 disables the output buffer.

System Integration Module (SIM)
13.1 Introduction
This section describes the system integration module (SIM), which supports up to 24 external and/or
internal interrupts. Together with the central processor unit (CPU), the SIM controls all microcontroller unit
(MCU) activities. A block diagram of the SIM is shown in Figure 13-1. The SIM is a system state controller
that coordinates CPU and exception timing.
The SIM is responsible for:
• Bus clock generation and control for CPU and peripherals
– Stop/wait/reset/break entry and recovery
– Internal clock control
• Master reset control, including power-on reset (POR) and computer operating properly (COP)
timeout
• Interrupt control:
– Acknowledge timing
– Arbitration control timing
– Vector address generation
• CPU enable/disable timing

RST and IRQ pins come out of reset as PTA3 and PTA2 respectively. RST and IRQ functions can be
activated by programing CONFIG2 accordingly. Refer to Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG).
13.3 SIM Bus Clock Control and Generation
The bus clock generator provides system clock signals for the CPU and peripherals on the MCU. The

Figure 13-2. SIM Clock Signals
13.3.1 Bus Timing
In user mode, the internal bus frequency is the oscillator frequency (BUSCLKX4) divided by four.
13.3.2 Clock Start-Up from POR
When the power-on reset module generates a reset, the clocks to the CPU and peripherals are inactive
and held in an inactive phase until after the 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycle POR time out has completed. The
IBUS clocks start upon completion of the time out.
13.3.3 Clocks in Stop Mode and Wait Mode
Upon exit from stop mode by an interrupt or reset, the SIM allows BUSCLKX4 to clock the SIM counter.
The CPU and peripheral clocks do not become active until after the stop delay time out. This time out is
selectable as 4096 or 32 BUSCLKX4 cycles. See 13.7.2 Stop Mode.
In wait mode, the CPU clocks are inactive. The SIM also produces two sets of clocks for other modules.
Refer to the wait mode subsection of each module to see if the module is active or inactive in wait mode.
Some modules can be programmed to be active in wait mode.

13.4 Reset and System Initialization
The MCU has these reset sources:
• Power-on reset module (POR)
• External reset pin (RST)
• Computer operating properly module (COP)
• Low-voltage inhibit module (LVI)
• Illegal opcode
• Illegal address
All of these resets produce the vector $FFFE–FFFF ($FEFE–FEFF in monitor mode) and assert the
internal reset signal (IRST). IRST causes all registers to be returned to their default values and all
modules to be returned to their reset states.
An internal reset clears the SIM counter (see 13.5 SIM Counter), but an external reset does not. Each of
the resets sets a corresponding bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR). See 13.8 SIM Registers.
13.4.1 External Pin Reset
The RST pin circuits include an internal pullup device. Pulling the asynchronous RST pin low halts all
processing. The PIN bit of the SIM reset status register (SRSR) is set as long as RST is held low for at
least the minimum tRL time. Figure 13-3 shows the relative timing. The RST pin function is only available
if the RSTEN bit is set in the CONFIG2 register.

13.4.2 Active Resets from Internal Sources
The RST pin is initially setup as a general-purpose input after a POR. Setting the RSTEN bit in the
CONFIG2 register enables the pin for the reset function. This section assumes the RSTEN bit is set when
describing activity on the RST pin.
NOTE
For POR and LVI resets, the SIM cycles through 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycles.
The internal reset signal then follows the sequence from the falling edge of
RST shown in Figure 13-4.
The COP reset is asynchronous to the bus clock.
The active reset feature allows the part to issue a reset to peripherals and other chips within a system
built around the MCU.
All internal reset sources actively pull the RST pin low for 32 BUSCLKX4 cycles to allow resetting of
external peripherals. The internal reset signal IRST continues to be asserted for an additional 32 cycles
(see Figure 13-4). An internal reset can be caused by an illegal address, illegal opcode, COP time out,
LVI, or POR (see Figure 13-5).

13.4.2.1 Power-On Reset
When power is first applied to the MCU, the power-on reset module (POR) generates a pulse to indicate
that power on has occurred. The SIM counter counts out 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycles. Sixty-four BUSCLKX4
cycles later, the CPU and memories are released from reset to allow the reset vector sequence to occur.
At power on, the following events occur:
• A POR pulse is generated.
• The internal reset signal is asserted.
• The SIM enables the oscillator to drive BUSCLKX4.
• Internal clocks to the CPU and modules are held inactive for 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycles to allow
stabilization of the oscillator.
• The POR bit of the SIM reset status register (SRSR) is set.
See Figure 13-6.

13.4.2.2 Computer Operating Properly (COP) Reset
An input to the SIM is reserved for the COP reset signal. The overflow of the COP counter causes an
internal reset and sets the COP bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR). The SIM actively pulls down
the RST pin for all internal reset sources.
To prevent a COP module time out, write any value to location $FFFF. Writing to location $FFFF clears
the COP counter and stages 12–5 of the SIM counter. The SIM counter output, which occurs at least
every 4080 BUSCLKX4 cycles, drives the COP counter. The COP should be serviced as soon as possible
out of reset to guarantee the maximum amount of time before the first time out.
The COP module is disabled during a break interrupt with monitor mode when BDCOP bit is set in break
auxiliary register (BRKAR).
13.4.2.3 Illegal Opcode Reset
The SIM decodes signals from the CPU to detect illegal instructions. An illegal instruction sets the ILOP
bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR) and causes a reset.
If the stop enable bit, STOP, in the mask option register is 0, the SIM treats the STOP instruction as an
illegal opcode and causes an illegal opcode reset. The SIM actively pulls down the RST pin for all internal
reset sources.
13.4.2.4 Illegal Address Reset
An opcode fetch from an unmapped address generates an illegal address reset. The SIM verifies that the
CPU is fetching an opcode prior to asserting the ILAD bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR) and
resetting the MCU. A data fetch from an unmapped address does not generate a reset. The SIM actively
pulls down the RST pin for all internal reset sources. See Figure 2-1. Memory Map for memory ranges.
13.4.2.5 Low-Voltage Inhibit (LVI) Reset
The LVI asserts its output to the SIM when the VDD voltage falls to the LVI trip voltage VTRIPF. The LVI
bit in the SIM reset status register (SRSR) is set, and the external reset pin (RST) is held low while the

Freescale Semiconductor
SIM Counter
SIM counter counts out 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycles after VDD rises above VTRIPR. Sixty-four BUSCLKX4
cycles later, the CPU and memories are released from reset to allow the reset vector sequence to occur.
The SIM actively pulls down the (RST) pin for all internal reset sources.
13.5 SIM Counter
The SIM counter is used by the power-on reset module (POR) and in stop mode recovery to allow the
oscillator time to stabilize before enabling the internal bus (IBUS) clocks. The SIM counter also serves as
a prescaler for the computer operating properly module (COP). The SIM counter uses 12 stages for
counting, followed by a 13th stage that triggers a reset of SIM counters and supplies the clock for the COP
module. The SIM counter is clocked by the falling edge of BUSCLKX4.
13.5.1 SIM Counter During Power-On Reset
The power-on reset module (POR) detects power applied to the MCU. At power-on, the POR circuit
asserts the signal PORRST. Once the SIM is initialized, it enables the oscillator to drive the bus clock
state machine.
13.5.2 SIM Counter During Stop Mode Recovery
The SIM counter also is used for stop mode recovery. The STOP instruction clears the SIM counter. After
an interrupt, break, or reset, the SIM senses the state of the short stop recovery bit, SSREC, in the
configuration register 1 (CONFIG1). If the SSREC bit is a 1, then the stop recovery is reduced from the
normal delay of 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycles down to 32 BUSCLKX4 cycles. This is ideal for applications
using canned oscillators that do not require long start-up times from stop mode. External crystal
applications should use the full stop recovery time, that is, with SSREC cleared in the configuration
register 1 (CONFIG1).
13.5.3 SIM Counter and Reset States
External reset has no effect on the SIM counter (see 13.7.2 Stop Mode for details.) The SIM counter is
free-running after all reset states. See 13.4.2 Active Resets from Internal Sources for counter control and
internal reset recovery sequences.
13.6 Exception Control
Normal sequential program execution can be changed in three different ways:
1. Interrupts
a. Maskable hardware CPU interrupts
b. Non-maskable software interrupt instruction (SWI)
2. Reset
3. Break interrupts
13.6.1 Interrupts
An interrupt temporarily changes the sequence of program execution to respond to a particular event.

Exception Control
Interrupts are latched, and arbitration is performed in the SIM at the start of interrupt processing. The
arbitration result is a constant that the CPU uses to determine which vector to fetch. Once an interrupt is
latched by the SIM, no other interrupt can take precedence, regardless of priority, until the latched
interrupt is serviced (or the I bit is cleared).
At the beginning of an interrupt, the CPU saves the CPU register contents on the stack and sets the
interrupt mask (I bit) to prevent additional interrupts. At the end of an interrupt, the RTI instruction recovers
the CPU register contents from the stack so that normal processing can resume. Figure 13-8 shows
interrupt entry timing. Figure 13-9 shows interrupt recovery timing.

13.6.1.1 Hardware Interrupts
A hardware interrupt does not stop the current instruction. Processing of a hardware interrupt begins after
completion of the current instruction. When the current instruction is complete, the SIM checks all pending
hardware interrupts. If interrupts are not masked (I bit clear in the condition code register), and if the
corresponding interrupt enable bit is set, the SIM proceeds with interrupt processing; otherwise, the next
instruction is fetched and executed.
If more than one interrupt is pending at the end of an instruction execution, the highest priority interrupt is
serviced first. Figure 13-10 demonstrates what happens when two interrupts are pending. If an interrupt
is pending upon exit from the original interrupt service routine, the pending interrupt is serviced before the
LDA instruction is executed.
The LDA opcode is prefetched by both the INT1 and INT2 return-from-interrupt (RTI) instructions.
However, in the case of the INT1 RTI prefetch, this is a redundant operation.
NOTE
To maintain compatibility with the M6805 Family, the H register is not
pushed on the stack during interrupt entry. If the interrupt service routine
modifies the H register or uses the indexed addressing mode, software
should save the H register and then restore it prior to exiting the routine.

The SWI instruction is a non-maskable instruction that causes an interrupt regardless of the state of the

A software interrupt pushes PC onto the stack. A software interrupt does
not push PC – 1, as a hardware interrupt does.

13.6.3 Reset
All reset sources always have equal and highest priority and cannot be arbitrated.
13.6.4 Break Interrupts
The break module can stop normal program flow at a software programmable break point by asserting its
break interrupt output. (See Chapter 16 Development Support.) The SIM puts the CPU into the break
state by forcing it to the SWI vector location. Refer to the break interrupt subsection of each module to
see how each module is affected by the break state.
13.6.5 Status Flag Protection in Break Mode
The SIM controls whether status flags contained in other modules can be cleared during break mode. The
user can select whether flags are protected from being cleared by properly initializing the break clear flag
enable bit (BCFE) in the break flag control register (BFCR).
Protecting flags in break mode ensures that set flags will not be cleared while in break mode. This
protection allows registers to be freely read and written during break mode without losing status flag
information.
Setting the BCFE bit enables the clearing mechanisms. Once cleared in break mode, a flag remains
cleared even when break mode is exited. Status flags with a two-step clearing mechanism — for example,
a read of one register followed by the read or write of another — are protected, even when the first step
is accomplished prior to entering break mode. Upon leaving break mode, execution of the second step
will clear the flag as normal.
13.7 Low-Power Modes
Executing the WAIT or STOP instruction puts the MCU in a low power- consumption mode for standby
situations. The SIM holds the CPU in a non-clocked state. The operation of each of these modes is
described below. Both STOP and WAIT clear the interrupt mask (I) in the condition code register, allowing
interrupts to occur.

Figure 13-14. Wait Mode Entry Timing
A module that is active during wait mode can wake up the CPU with an interrupt if the interrupt is enabled.
Stacking for the interrupt begins one cycle after the WAIT instruction during which the interrupt occurred.
In wait mode, the CPU clocks are inactive. Refer to the wait mode subsection of each module to see if the
module is active or inactive in wait mode. Some modules can be programmed to be active in wait mode.
Wait mode can also be exited by a reset (or break in emulation mode). A break interrupt during wait mode
sets the SIM break stop/wait bit, SBSW, in the break status register (BSR). If the COP disable bit, COPD,
in the configuration register is 0, then the computer operating properly module (COP) is enabled and
remains active in wait mode.

System Integration Module (SIM)
13.7.2 Stop Mode
In stop mode, the SIM counter is reset and the system clocks are disabled. An interrupt request from a
module can cause an exit from stop mode. Stacking for interrupts begins after the selected stop recovery
time has elapsed. Reset or break also causes an exit from stop mode.
The SIM disables the oscillator signals (BUSCLKX2 and BUSCLKX4) in stop mode, stopping the CPU
and peripherals. If OSCENINSTOP is set, BUSCLKX4 will remain running in STOP and can be used to
run the AWU. Stop recovery time is selectable using the SSREC bit in the configuration register 1
(CONFIG1). If SSREC is set, stop recovery is reduced from the normal delay of 4096 BUSCLKX4 cycles
down to 32. This is ideal for the internal oscillator, RC oscillator, and external oscillator options which do
not require long start-up times from stop mode.
NOTE
External crystal applications should use the full stop recovery time by
clearing the SSREC bit.
The SIM counter is held in reset from the execution of the STOP instruction until the beginning of stop
recovery. It is then used to time the recovery period. Figure 13-17 shows stop mode entry timing and
Figure 13-18 shows the stop mode recovery time from interrupt or break
NOTE
To minimize stop current, all pins configured as inputs should be driven to
a logic 1 or logic 0.

– All LIN messages will be received (no message loss due to synchronization process)
– Input clock tolerance as high as ±50%, allowing internal oscillator to remain untrimmed
– Incoming break symbols always allowed to be 10 or more bit times without message loss
– Supports automatic software trimming of internal oscillator using LIN synchronization data
• Automatic processing and verification of LIN SYNCH BREAK and SYNCH BYTE
• Automatic checksum calculation and verification with error reporting
• Maximum of two interrupts per standard LIN message frame with no errors
• Full LIN error checking and reporting
• High-speed LIN capability up to 83.33 kbps to 120.00 kbps(1)

Functional Description
14.3 Functional Description
The SLIC provides full standard LIN message buffering for a slave node, minimizing the need for CPU
intervention. Routine protocol functions (such as synchronization to the communication channel,
reception, and verification of header data) and generation of the checksum are handled automatically by
the SLIC. This allows application software to be greatly simplified relative to standard UART
implementations, as well as reducing the impact of interrupts needed in those applications to handle each
byte of a message independently.
Additionally, the SLIC has the ability to automatically synchronize to any LIN message, regardless of the
LIN bus bit rate (1–20 kbps), properly receiving that message without prior programming of the target LIN
bit rate. Furthermore, this can even be accomplished using an untrimmed internal oscillator, provided its
accuracy is at least ±50% of nominal.
The SLIC also has a simple UART-like byte transfer mode, which allows the user to send and receive
single bytes of data in half-duplex 8-N-1 format (8-bit data, no parity, 1 stop bit) without the need for LIN
message framing.

Figure 14-3. SLIC Operating Modes
14.5.1 Power Off
This mode is entered from the reset mode whenever the SLIC module supply voltage VDD drops below
its minimum specified value for the SLIC module to guarantee operation. The SLIC module will be placed
in the reset mode by a system low-voltage reset (LVR) before being powered down. In this mode, the pin
input and output specifications are not guaranteed.
14.5.2 Reset
This mode is entered from the power off mode whenever the SLIC module supply voltage VDD rises above
its minimum specified value (VDD(MIN)) and some MCU reset source is asserted. To prevent the SLIC from
entering an unknown state, the internal MCU reset is asserted while powering up the SLIC module. SLIC
reset mode is also entered from any other mode as soon as one of the MCU's possible reset sources (e.g.,
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
136
Freescale Semiconductor
Modes of Operation
LVR, POR, COP watchdog, RST pin, etc.) is asserted. SLIC reset mode may also be entered by the user
software by asserting the INITREQ bit. INITACK indicates whether the SLIC module is in the reset mode
as a result of writing INITREQ in SLCC1. While in the reset state the SLIC module clocks are stopped.
Clearing the INITREQ allows the SLIC to proceed and enter SLIC run mode (if SLCE is set). The module
will clear INITACK after the module has left reset mode and the SLIC will seek the next LIN header. It is
the responsibility of the user to verify that this operation is compatible with the application before
implementing this feature.
In this mode, the internal SLIC module voltage references are operative, VDD is supplied to the internal
circuits, which are held in their reset state and the internal SLIC module system clock is running. Registers
will assume their reset condition. Outputs are held in their programmed reset state, inputs and network
activity are ignored.
14.5.3 SLIC Disabled
This mode is entered from the reset mode after all MCU reset sources are no longer asserted or INITREQ
is cleared by the user and the SLIC module clears INITACK. It is entered from the run mode whenever
SLCE in SLCC2 is cleared. In this mode the SLIC clock is stopped to conserve power and allow the SLIC
module to be configured for proper operation on the LIN bus.
14.5.4 SLIC Run
This mode is entered from the SLIC disabled mode when SLCE in SLCC2 is set. It is entered from the
SLIC wait mode whenever activity is sensed on the LIN bus or some other MCU source wakes the CPU
out of wait mode.
It is entered from the SLIC stop mode whenever network activity is sensed or some other MCU source
wakes the CPU out of stop mode. Messages will not be received properly until the clocks have stabilized
and the CPU is also in the run mode.
14.5.5 SLIC Wait
This power conserving mode is automatically entered from the run mode whenever the CPU executes a
WAIT instruction and SLCWCM in SLCC1 is previously cleared. In this mode, the SLIC module internal
clocks continue to run. Any activity on the LIN network will cause the SLIC module to exit SLIC wait mode
and return to SLIC run.
14.5.6 Wakeup from SLIC Wait with CPU in WAIT
If the CPU executes the WAIT instruction and the SLIC module enters the wait mode (SLCWCM = 0), the
clocks to the SLIC module as well as the clocks in the MCU continue to run. Therefore, the message that
wakes up the SLIC module from WAIT and the CPU from wait mode will also be received correctly by the
SLIC module. This is because all of the required clocks continue to run in the SLIC module in wait mode.
14.5.7 SLIC Stop
This power conserving mode is automatically entered from the run mode whenever the CPU executes a
STOP instruction, or if the CPU executes a WAIT instruction and SLCWCM in SLCC1 is previously set.
In this mode, the SLIC internal clocks are stopped. Any activity on the network will cause the SLIC module
to exit SLIC stop mode and generate an unmaskable interrupt of the CPU. This wakeup interrupt state is
reflected in the SLCSV, encoded as the highest priority interrupt. This interrupt can be cleared by the CPU
with a read of the SLCSV and clearing of the SLCF interrupt flag. Depending upon which low-power mode

Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
instruction the CPU executes to cause the SLIC module to enter SLIC stop, the message which wakes
up the SLIC module (and the CPU) may or may not be received.
There are two different possibilities:
1. Wakeup from SLIC Stop with CPU in STOP
When the CPU executes the STOP instruction, all clocks in the MCU, including clocks to the SLIC
module, are turned off. Therefore, the message which wakes up the SLIC module and the CPU
from stop mode will not be received. This is due primarily to the amount of time required for the
MCU's oscillator to stabilize before the clocks can be applied internally to the other MCU modules,
including the SLIC module.
2. Wakeup from SLIC Stop with CPU in WAIT
If the CPU executes the WAIT instruction and the SLIC module enters the stop mode
(SLCWCM = 1), the clocks to the SLIC module are turned off, but the clocks in the MCU continue
to run. Therefore, the message which wakes up the SLIC module from stop and the CPU from wait
mode will be received correctly by the SLIC module. This is because very little time is required for
the CPU to turn the clocks to the SLIC module back on after the wakeup interrupt occurs.
NOTE
While the SLIC module will correctly receive a message which arrives when
the SLIC module is in stop or wait mode and the MCU is in wait mode, if the
user enters this mode while a message is being received, the data in the
message will become corrupted. This is due to the steps required for the
SLIC module to resume operation upon exiting stop or wait mode, and its
subsequent resynchronization with the LIN bus.
14.5.8 Normal and Emulation Mode Operation
The SLIC module operates in the same manner in all normal and emulation modes. All SLIC module
registers can be read and written except those that are reserved, unimplemented, or write once. The user
must be careful not to unintentionally write a register when using 16-bit writes to avoid unexpected SLIC
module behavior.
14.5.9 Special Mode Operation
Some aspects of SLIC module operation can be modified in special test mode. This mode is reserved for
internal use only.
14.5.10 Low-Power Options
The SLIC module can save power in disabled, wait, and stop modes. A complete description of what the
SLIC module does while in a low-power mode can be found in 14.5 Modes of Operation.
14.6 SLIC During Break Interrupts
The BCFE bit in the BSCR register has no affect on the SLIC module. Therefore the SLIC modules status
bits cannot be protected during break.

I/O Signals
14.7 I/O Signals
The SLIC module can share its two pins with the general-purpose I/O pins. See Figure 14-1 for the port
pins that are shared.
14.7.1 SLCTX — SLIC Transmit Pin
The SLCTX pin serves as the serial output of the SLIC module.
14.7.2 SLCRX — SLIC Receive Pin
The SLCRX pin serves as the serial input of the SLIC module. This input feeds directly into the digital
receive filter block which filters out noise glitches from the incoming data stream.

INITREQ —Initialization Request
Requesting initialization mode by setting this bit will place the SLIC module into its initialized state
immediately. If transmission or reception of data is in progress, the transaction will be terminated
immediately upon entry into initialization mode (signified by INITACK being set to 1). To return to
normal SLIC operation after the SLIC has been initialized (the INITACK is high), the INITREQ must be
cleared by software.
1 = Request for SLIC to be put into reset state immediately
0 = Normal operation
WAKETX — Transmit Wakeup Symbol
This bit allows the user to transmit a wakeup symbol on the LIN bus. When set, this sends a wakeup
symbol, as defined in the LIN specification a single time, then resets to 0. This bit will read 1 while the
wakeup symbol is being transmitted on the bus. This bit will be automatically cleared when the wakeup
symbol is complete.
1 = Send wakeup symbol on LIN bus
0 = Normal operation
TXABRT — Transmit Abort Message

IMSG — SLIC Ignore Message Bit
IMSG cannot be cleared by a write of 0, but is cleared automatically by the SLIC module after the next
BREAK/SYNC symbol pair is validated. After it is set, IMSG will not keep data from being written to the
receive data buffer, which means that the buffers cannot be assumed to contain known valid message
data until the next receive buffer full interrupt. IMSG must not be used in BTM mode.

1 = SLIC clocks stop when the CPU is placed into wait mode
0 = SLIC clocks continue to run when the CPU is placed into wait mode so that the SLIC can receive
messages and wakeup the CPU.
BTM — UART Byte Transfer Mode
Byte transmit mode bypasses the normal LIN message framing and checksum monitoring and allows
the user to send and receive single bytes in a method similar to a half-duplex UART. When enabled,
this mode reads the bit time register (SLCBT) value and assumes this is the value corresponding to
the number of SLIC clock counts for one bit time to establish the desired UART bit rate. The user
software must initialize this register prior to sending or receiving data, based on the input clock
selection, prescaler stage choice, and desired bit rate.
BTM forces the data length in SLCDLC to one byte (DLC = 0x00) and disables the checksum circuitry
so that CHKMOD has no effect. Refer to 14.9.15 Byte Transfer Mode Operation for more detailed
information about how to use this mode. BTM sets up the SLIC module to send and receive one byte
at a time, with 8-bit data, no parity, and one stop bit (8-N-1). This is the most commonly used setup for
UART communications and should work for most applications. This is fixed in the SLIC and is not
configurable.

To guarantee timing, the user must ensure that the SLIC clock used allows

SLCACT — SLIC Active (Oscillator Trim Blocking Semaphore)
SLCACT is used to indicate if it is safe to trim the oscillator based upon current SLIC activity in LIN
mode. This bit indicates that the SLIC module might be currently receiving a message header,
synchronization byte, ID byte, or sending or receiving data bytes. This bit is read-only.
1 = SLIC module activity (not safe to trim oscillator)
SLCACT is automatically set to 1 if a falling edge is seen on the SLCRX pin and has
successfully been passed through the digital RX filter. This edge is the potential beginning of a
LIN message frame.
0 = SLIC module not active (safe to trim oscillator)
SLCACT is cleared by the SLIC module only upon assertion of the RX Message Buffer Full
Checksum OK (SLCSV = $10) or the TX Message Buffer Empty Checksum Transmitted
(SLCSV = $08) interrupt sources.
NOTE
SLCACT may not be clear during all idle times of the bus. For example, if
IMSG was used to ignore the data interrupts of an extended message
frame, SLCACT will remain set until another LIN message is received and
either the RX Message Buffer Full Checksum OK (SLCSV = $10) or the TX
Message Buffer Empty Checksum Transmitted (SLCSV = $08) interrupt
sources are asserted and cleared. When clear, SLCACT always indicates
times when the SLIC module is not active, but it is possible for the SLIC
module to be not active with SLCACT set. SLCACT has no meaning in BTM
mode.
INITACK — Initialization Mode Acknowledge
INITACK indicates whether the SLIC module is in the reset mode as a result of writing INITREQ in
SLCC1. While in the reset state the SLIC module clocks are stopped. Clearing the INITREQ allows the
SLIC to proceed and enter SLIC run mode (if SLCE is set). The module will clear INITACK after the
module has left reset mode and the SLIC will seek the next LIN header. This bit is read-only.
1 = SLIC module is in reset state
0 = Normal operation

SLCF — SLIC Interrupt Flag
The SLCF interrupt flag indicates if a SLIC module interrupt is pending. If set, the SLCSV is then used
to determine what interrupt is pending. This flag is cleared by writing a 1 to the bit. If additional interrupt
sources are pending, the bit will be automatically set to 1 again by the SLIC.
1 = SLIC interrupt pending
0 = No SLIC interrupt pending
14.8.4 SLIC Prescaler Register
SLIC prescaler register (SLCP) is used to configure the delay of the digital receive filter circuit, and hence
the width of noise pulse which is blocked by the filter. The SLIC clock is used to drive the digital receive
circuit. Variations on the input clock will affect filter performance proportionally, so if internal oscillators
are used, worst case oscillator frequencies must be accounted for when determining prescaler settings
to ensure that the frequency of the SLIC clock always remains between 2 MHz and 8 MHz.

SLIC Clock (in MHz)
RXFP[1:0] — Receive Filter Prescaler
These bits configure the effective filter width for the digital receive filter circuit. The RXFP bits control
the maximum number of SLIC clock counts required for the filter to change state, which determines
the total maximum filter delay. Any pulse which is smaller than the maximum filter delay value will be
rejected by the filter and ignored as noise. For this reason, the user must choose the prescaler value
appropriately to ensure that all valid message traffic is able to pass the filter for the desired bit rate. For
more details about setting up the digital receive filter, please refer to 14.9.17 Digital Receive Filter.
The frequency of the SLIC clock must be between 2 MHz and 8 MHz, factoring in worst case possible
numbers due to untrimmed process variations, as well as temperature and voltage variations in oscillator
frequency. This will guarantee greater than 1.5% accuracy for all LIN messages from 1–20 kbps. The
faster this input clock is, the greater the resulting accuracy and the higher the possible bit rates at which
the SLIC can send and receive. In LIN systems, the bit rates will not exceed 20 kbps; however, the SLIC
module is capable of much higher speeds without any configuration changes, for cases such as

Registers
high-speed downloads for reprogramming of FLASH memory or diagnostics in a test environment where
radiated emissions requirements are not as stringent. In these situations, the user may choose to run
faster than the 20 kbps limit which is imposed by the LIN specification for EMC reasons. Details of how
to calculate maximum bit rates and operate the SLIC above 20 kbps are detailed in 14.9.14 High-Speed
LIN Operation. Refer to 14.9.6 SLIC Module Initialization Procedure for more information on when to set
up this register.
14.8.5 SLIC Bit Time Registers
NOTE
In this subsection, the SLIC bit time registers are collectively referred to as
SLCBT.
In LIN operating mode (BTM = 0), the SLCBT is updated by the SLIC upon reception of a LIN break-synch
combination and provides the number of SLIC clock counts that equal one LIN bit time to the user
software. This value can be used by the software to calculate the clock drift in the oscillator as an offset
to a known count value (based on nominal oscillator frequency and LIN bus speed). The user software
can then trim the oscillator to compensate for clock drift. Refer to 14.9.16 Oscillator Trimming with SLIC
for more information on this procedure. The user cannot read the bit time value from SLCBTH and
SLCBTL any time after the identifier byte is received until the beginning of the next LIN message frame
on the bus. The beginning of this message frame activity will be indicated by SLCACT.
When in byte transfer mode (BTM = 1), the SLCBT must be written by the user to set the length of one
bit at the desired bit rate in SLIC clock counts. The user software must initialize this number prior to
sending or receiving data, based on the input clock selection, prescaler stage choice, and desired bit rate.
This setting is similar to choosing an input capture or output compare value for a timer. The closest even
value must be chosen for this value, as BT0 will be forced to 0 by the SLIC module and any odd value will
always be reduced to the next lowest even integer value. For example, a write of value 51 (0x33) will be
forced to value of 50 and read back as 0x32. A write to both registers is required to update the bit time
value.
NOTE
The SLIC bit time will not be updated until a write of the SLCBTL has
occurred.

BT displays the number of SLIC clocks that equals one bit time in LIN mode (BTM = 0). For details of
the use of the SLCBT registers in LIN mode for trimming of the internal oscillator, refer to 14.9.16
Oscillator Trimming with SLIC.
BT sets the number of SLIC clocks that equals one bit time in byte transfer mode (BTM = 1). For details
of the use of the SLCBT registers in BTM mode, refer to 14.9.15 Byte Transfer Mode Operation.
NOTE
Do not write to unimplemented bits as unexpected operation may occur.
14.8.6 SLIC State Vector Register
SLIC state vector register (SLCSV) is provided to substantially decrease the CPU overhead associated
with servicing interrupts while under operation of a LIN protocol. It provides an index offset that is directly
related to the LIN module’s current state, which can be used with a user supplied jump table to rapidly
enter an interrupt service routine. This eliminates the need for the user to maintain a duplicate state
machine in software.

No Interrupts Pending
This value indicates that all pending interrupt sources have been serviced. In polling mode, the
SLCSV is read and interrupts serviced until this value reads back 0. This source will not generate
an interrupt of the CPU, regardless of state of SLCIE.
No Bus Activity (LIN specified error)
The No-Bus-Activity condition occurs if no valid SYNCH BREAK FIELD or BYTE FIELD was
received for more than 223 SLIC clock counts since the reception of the last valid message. For
example, with 6.4 MHz SLIC clock frequency, a No-Bus-Activity interrupt will occur about 1.31
seconds after the bus begins to idle.
TX Message Buffer Empty — Checksum Transmitted
When the entire LIN message frame has been transmitted successfully, complete with the
appropriately selected checksum byte, this interrupt source is asserted. This source is used for all
standard LIN message frames and the final set of bytes with extended LIN message frames.
TX Message Buffer Empty
This interrupt source indicates that all 8 bytes in the LIN message buffer have been transmitted
with no checksum appended. This source is used for intermediate sets of 8 bytes in extended LIN
message frames.
RX Message Buffer Full — Checksum OK
When the entire LIN message frame has been received successfully, complete with the
appropriately selected checksum byte, and the checksum calculates correctly, this interrupt source
is asserted. This source is used for all standard LIN message frames and the final set of bytes with
extended LIN message frames. To clear this source, SLCD0 must be read first.
RX Data Buffer Full — No Errors
This interrupt source indicates that 8 bytes have been received with no checksum byte and are
waiting in the LIN message buffer. This source is used for intermediate sets of 8 bytes in extended
LIN message frames. To clear this source, SLCD0 must be read first.
Bit Error
A unit that is sending a bit on the bus also monitors the bus. A BIT_ERROR must be detected at
that bit time, when the bit value that is monitored is different from the bit value that is sent. The
SLIC will terminate the data transmission upon detection of a bit error, according to the LIN

specification. Bit errors are not checked when the LIN bus is running at high speed due to the
effects of physical layer round trip delay. Bit errors are fully checked at all LIN 2.0 compliant speeds
of 20 kbps and below.
Receiver Buffer Overrun Error
This error is an indication that the receive buffer has not been emptied and additional bytes have
been received, resulting in lost data. Because this interrupt is higher priority than the receive buffer
full interrupts, it will appear first when an overflow condition occurs. There will, however, be a
pending receive interrupt which must also be cleared after the buffer overrun flag is cleared.
Checksum Error (LIN specified error)
The checksum error occurs when the calculated checksum value does not match the expected
value. If this error is encountered, it is important to verify that the correct checksum calculation
method was employed for this message frame. Refer to the LIN specification for more details on
the calculations.
Byte Framing Error
This error comes from the standard UART definition for byte encoding and occurs when the STOP
bit is sampled and reads back as a 0. STOP should always read as 1. In LIN mode (BTM=0), if a
byte framing error occurs in an identifier byte of a LIN header the user must set and then clear
CHKMOD to ensure that the checksum calculation is reset. Failure to do so can result in an
improperly calculated enhanced checksum for the subsequent LIN frame. Because any byte
framing error indicates a corrupted byte, the best practice is to always toggle CHKMOD in the case
of a byte framing error.
NOTE
A byte framing error can also be an indication that the number of data bytes
received in a LIN message frame does not match the value written to the
SLCDLC register. See 14.9.7 Handling LIN Message Headers for more
details.

Identifier Received Successfully
This interrupt source indicates that a LIN identifier byte has been received with correct parity and
is waiting in the LIN identifier buffer (SLCID). Upon reading this interrupt source from SLCSV, the
user can then decode the identifier in software to determine the nature of the LIN message frame.
To clear this source, SLCID must be read.
Identifier-Parity-Error
A parity error in the identifier (i.e., corrupted identifier) will be flagged. Typical LIN slave
applications do not distinguish between an unknown but valid identifier, and a corrupted identifier.
However, it is mandatory for all slave nodes to evaluate in case of a known identifier all eight bits
of the ID-Field and distinguish between a known and a corrupted identifier. The received identifier
value is reported in SLCID so that the user software can choose to acknowledge or ignore the
parity error message.
Inconsistent-Synch-Field-Error
An Inconsistent-Synch-Field-Error must be detected if a slave detects the edges of the SYNCH
FIELD outside the given tolerance.
Wakeup
The wakeup interrupt source indicates that the SLIC module has entered SLIC run mode from SLIC
stop mode.

14.8.6.2 Byte Transfer Mode Operation
When byte transfer mode is enabled (BTM = 1), many of the interrupt sources for the SLCSV no longer
apply, as they are specific to LIN operations. Table 14-3 shows those interrupt sources which are
applicable to BTM operations. The value of the SLCSV for each interrupt source remains the same, as
well as the priority of the interrupt source.

14.8.7 SLIC Data Length Code Register
The SLIC data length code register (SLCDLC) is the primary functional control register for the SLIC
module during normal LIN operations. It contains the data length code of the message buffer, indicating
how many bytes of data are to be sent or received, as well as the checksum mode control and transmit
enabling bit.

TXGO — SLIC Transmit Go
This bit controls whether the SLIC module is sending or receiving data bytes. This bit is automatically
reset to 0 after a transmit operation is complete or an error is encountered and transmission has been
aborted.
1 = Initiate SLIC transmit
The SLIC assumes the user has loaded the proper data into the message buffer and will begin
transmitting the number of bytes indicated in the SLCDLC bits. If the number of bytes is greater
than 8, the first 8 bytes will be transmitted and an interrupt will be triggered (if unmasked) for
the user to enter the next bytes of the message. If the number of bytes is 8 or fewer, the SLIC
will transmit the appropriate number of bytes and automatically append the checksum to the
transmission.
0 = SLIC receive data
CHKMOD — LIN Checksum Mode
CHKMOD is used to decide what checksum method to use for this message frame. Resets after error
code or message frame complete. CHKMOD must be written (if desired) only after the reception of an
identifier and before the reception or transmission of data bytes. Writing this bit to a one clears the
current checksum calculation. The one exception is when a byte framing error is detected and the
checksum calculation should be reset. (See Byte Framing Error description in section 14.8.6.1 LIN
Mode Operation.)
1 = Checksum calculated without the identifier byte (LIN spec <= 1.3)

DLC — Data Length Control Bits
The value of the bits indicate the number of data bytes in message. Values $00–$07 are for “normal”
LIN messaging. Values $08–$3F are for “extended” LIN messaging.

14.8.8 SLIC Identifier and Data Registers
The SLIC identifier (SLCID) and eight data registers (SLCD7–SLCD0) comprise the transmit and receive
buffer and are used to read/write the identifier and message buffer 8 data bytes. In BTM mode (BTM = 1),
only SLCID is used to send and receive bytes, as only one byte is handled at any one time. The number
of bytes to be read from or written to these registers is determined by the user software and written to
SLCDLC. To obtain proper data, reads and writes to these registers must be made based on the proper
length corresponding to a particular message. It is the responsibility of the user software to keep track of
this value to prevent data corruption. For example, it is possible to read data from locations in the
message buffer which contain erroneous or old data if the user software reads more data registers than
were updated by the incoming message, as indicated in SLCDLC.
NOTE
An incorrect length value written to SLCDLC can result in the user software
misreading or miswriting data in the message buffer. An incorrect length
value might also result in SLIC error messages. For example, if a 4-byte
message is to be received, but the user software incorrectly reports a
3-byte length to the DLC, the SLIC will assume the 4th data byte is actually
a checksum value and attempt to validate it as such. If this value doesn’t
match the calculated value, an incorrect checksum error will occur. If it does
happen to match the expected value, then the message would be received
as a 3-byte message with valid checksum. Either case is incorrect behavior
for the application and can be avoided by ensuring that the correct length
code is used for each identifier.
The first data byte received after the LIN identifier in a LIN message frame will be loaded into SLCD0. The
next byte (if applicable) will be loaded into SLCD1, and so forth.

The SLIC identifier register is used to capture the incoming LIN identifier and when the SLCSV value
indicates that the identifier has been received successfully, this register contains the received identifier
value. If the incoming identifier contained a parity error, this register value will not contain valid data.
In byte transfer mode (BTM = 1), this register is used for sending and receiving each byte of data. When
transmitting bytes, the data is loaded into this register, then TXGO in SLCDLC is set to initiate the
transmission. When receiving bytes, they are read from this register only.

Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
14.9 Initialization/Application Information
The LIN specification defines a standard LIN “MESSAGE FRAME” as the basic format for transferring
data across a LIN network. A standard MESSAGE FRAME is composed as shown in Figure 14-14 (shown
with 8 data bytes).
LIN transmits all data, identifier, and checksum characters as standard UART characters with eight data
bits, no parity, and one stop bit. Therefore, each byte has a length of 10 bits, including the start and stop
bits. The data bits are transmitted least significant bit (LSB) first.

14.9.1 LIN Message Frame Header
The HEADER section of all LIN messages is transmitted by the master node in the network and contains
synchronization data, as well as the identifier to define what information is to be contained in the message
frame. Formally, the header is comprised of three parts:
1. SYNCH BREAK
2. SYNCH BYTE (0x55)
3. IDENTIFIER FIELD
The first two components are present to allow the LIN slave nodes to recognize the beginning of the
message frame and derive the bit rate of the master module.
The SYNCH BREAK allows the slave to see the beginning of a message frame on the bus. The SLIC
module can receive a standard 10-bit break character for the SYNCH BREAK, or any break symbol 10 or
more bit times in length. This encompasses the LIN requirement of 13 or more bits of length for the
SYNCH BREAK character.
The SYNCH BYTE is always a 0x55 data byte, providing five falling edges for the slave to derive the bit
rate of the master node.
The identifier byte indicates to the slave what is the nature of the data in the message frame. This data
might be supplied from either the master node or the slave node, as determined at system design time.
The slave node must read this identifier, check for parity errors, and determine whether it is to send or
receive data in the data field.
More information on the HEADER is contained in 14.9.7.1 LIN Message Headers.
14.9.2 LIN Data Field
The data field is comprised of standard bytes (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit) of data, from 0–8
bytes for normal LIN frames and greater than eight bytes for extended LIN frames. The SLIC module will
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
150
Freescale Semiconductor
Initialization/Application Information
either transmit or receive these bytes, depending upon the user code interpretation of the identifier byte.
Data is always transmitted into the data field least significant byte (LSB) first.
The SLIC module can automatically handle up to 64 bytes in extended LIN message frames without
significantly changing program execution.
14.9.3 LIN Checksum Field
The checksum field is a data integrity measure for LIN message frames, used to signal errors in data
consistency. The LIN 1.3 checksum calculation only covers the data field, but the SLIC module also
supports an enhanced checksum calculation which also includes the identifier field. For more information
on the checksum calculation, refer to 14.9.13 LIN Data Integrity Checking Methods.
14.9.4 SLIC Module Constraints
In designing a practical module, certain reasonable constraints must be placed on the LIN message traffic
which are not necessarily explicitly specified in the LIN specification. The SLIC module presumes that:
• Timeout for no-bus-activity = 1 second.
14.9.5 SLCSV Interrupt Handling
Each change of state of the SLIC module is encoded in the SLIC state vector register (SLCSV). This is
an efficient method of handling state changes, indicating to the user not only the current status of the SLIC
module, but each state change will also generate an interrupt (if SLIC interrupts are enabled). For more
detailed information on the SLCSV, please refer to 14.8.6 SLIC State Vector Register.
In the software diagrams in the following subsections, when an interrupt is shown, the first step must
always be reading SLCSV to determine what is the current status of the SLIC module. Likewise, when the
diagrams indicate to “EXIT ISR”, the final step to exiting the interrupt service routine is to clear the SLCF
interrupt flag. This can only be done if the SLCSV has first been read, and in the case that data has been
received (such as an ID byte or command message data) the SLCD has been read at least one time.
After SLCSV is read, it will switch to the next pending state, so the user must be sure it is copied only once
into a software variable at the beginning of the interrupt service routine to avoid inadvertently clearing a
pending interrupt source. Additional decisions based on this value must be made from the software
variable, rather than from the SLCSV itself.
After exiting the ISR, normal application code may resume. If the diagram indicates to “RETURN TO
IDLE,” it indicates that all processing for the current message frame has been completed. If an error was
detected and the corresponding error code loaded into the SLCSV, any pending data in the data buffer
will be flushed out and the SLIC returned to its idle state, seeking out the next message frame header.
14.9.6 SLIC Module Initialization Procedure
14.9.6.1 LIN Mode Initialization
The SLIC module does not require very much initialization, due to its self-synchronizing design. Because
no prior knowledge of the bit rate is required to synchronize to the LIN bus, no programming of bit rate is
required.
At initialization time, the user must configure:
• SLIC prescale register (SLIC digital receive filter adjustment).
• Wait clock mode operation.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
151
Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
The SLIC clock is the same as the CPU bus clock. The module is designed to provide better than 1% bit
rate accuracy at the lowest value of the SLIC clock frequency and the accuracy improves as the SLIC
clock frequency is increased. For this reason, it is advantageous to choose the fastest SLIC clock which
is still within the acceptable operating range of the SLIC. Because the SLIC may be used with MCUs with
internal oscillators, the tolerance of the oscillator must be taken into account to ensure that SLIC clock
frequency does not exceed the bounds of the SLIC clock operating range. This is especially important if
the user wishes to use the oscillator untrimmed, where process variations might result in MCU frequency
offsets of ±25%.
The acceptable range of SLIC clock frequencies is 2–8 MHz to guarantee LIN operations with greater than
1.5% accuracy across the 1–20 kbps range of LIN bit rates. The user must ensure that the fastest possible
SLIC clock frequency never exceeds 8 MHz or that the slowest possible SLIC clock never falls below 2
MHz under worst case conditions. This would include, for example, oscillator frequency variations due to
untrimmed oscillator tolerance, temperature variation, or supply voltage variation.
To initialize the SLIC module into LIN operating mode, the user must perform the following steps prior to
needing to receive any LIN message traffic. These steps assume the MCU has been reset either by a
power-on reset (POR) or any other MCU reset mechanism.
The steps for SLIC Initialization for LIN operation are:
1. Write SLCC1 to clear INITREQ.
2. When INITACK = 0, write SLCC1 & SLCC2 with desired values for:
a. SLCWCM — Wait clock mode (default = leaving SLIC clock running when in CPU wait).
3. Write SLCP to set up prescalers for:
a. RXFP — Digital receive filter clock prescaler (default = SLIC divided by 3).
4. Enable the SLIC module by writing SLCC2:
a. SLCE = 1 to place SLIC module into run mode.
b. BTM = 0 to disable byte transfer mode (default).
5. Write SLCC1 to enable SLIC interrupts (if desired).
14.9.6.2 Byte Transfer Mode Initialization
Bit rate synchronization is handled automatically in LIN mode, using the synchronization data contained
in each LIN message to derive the desired bit rate. In byte transfer mode (BTM = 1); however, the user
must set up the bit rate for communications using the clock selection, prescaler, and SLCBT.
More information on byte transfer mode is described in 14.9.15 Byte Transfer Mode Operation, including
the performance parameters on recommended maximum speeds, bit time resolution, and oscillator
tolerance requirements.
After the desired settings of prescalers and bit time are determined, the SLIC Initialization for BTM
operation is virtually identical to that of LIN operation.
The steps are:
1. Write SLCC1 to clear INITREQ.
2. When INITACK = 0, write SLCC2 with desired values for:
a. SLCWCM — Wait clock mode (default = leaving SLIC clock running when in CPU wait).
3. Write SLCICP to set up prescalers for:
a. RXFP — Digital receive filter clock prescaler (default = SLIC divided by 3).

4. Enable the SLIC module by writing SLCC2:
a. SLCE = 1 to place SLIC module into run mode.
b. BTM = 1 to enable byte transfer mode (default = disabled).
5. Write SLCC1 to enable SLIC interrupts (if desired).

Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
14.9.7.1 LIN Message Headers
All LIN message frame headers are comprised of three components:
• The first is the SYNCHRONIZATION BREAK (SYNCH BREAK) symbol, which is a dominant (low)
pulse at least 13 or more bit times long, followed by a recessive (high) synchronization delimiter of
at least one bit time. In LIN 2.0, this is allowed to be 10 or more bit times in length.
• The second part is called the SYNCHRONIZATION FIELD (SYNCH FIELD) and is a single byte
with value 0x55. This value was chosen as it is the only one which provides a series of five falling
(recessive to dominant) transitions on the bus.
• The third section of the message frame header is the IDENTIFIER FIELD (ID). The identifier is
covered more in 14.9.8 Handling Command Message Frames and 14.9.9 Handling Request LIN
Message Frames.
The SLIC automatically reads the incoming pattern of the SYNCHRONIZATION BREAK and FIELD and
determines the bit rate of the LIN data frame, as well as checking for errors in form and discerning
between a genuine BREAK/FIELD combination and a similar byte pattern somewhere in the data stream.
After the header has been verified to be valid and has been processed, the SLIC module updates the
SLIC bit time register (SLCBT) with the value obtained from the SYNCH FIELD and begins to receive the
ID.
If there are errors in the SYNCH BREAK/FIELD pattern, then an interrupt is generated. If unmasked, it
will trigger an MCU interrupt request and the resulting code in the SLIC state vector register (SLCSV) will
be an “Inconsistent-Synch-Field-Error,” based on the LIN protocol specification.
After the ID for the message frame has been received, an interrupt is generated by the SLIC and will
trigger an MCU interrupt request if unmasked. At this point, it might be possible that the ID was received
with errors such as a parity error (based on the LIN specification) or a byte framing error. If the ID did not
have any errors, it will be copied into the SLCD for the software to read. The SLCSV will indicate the type
error or that the ID was received correctly.
In a LIN system, the meaning and function of all messages, and therefore all message identifiers, is
pre-defined by the system designer. This information can be collected and stored in a standardized format
file, called a Configuration Language Description (CLD) file. In using the SLIC module, it is the
responsibility of the user software to determine the nature of the incoming message, and therefore how
to further handle that message.
The simplest case is when the SLIC receives a message which the user software determines is of no
interest to the application. In other words, the slave node does not need to receive or transmit any data
for this message frame. This might also apply to messages with zero data bytes (which is allowed by the
LIN specification). At this point, the user can set the IMSG control bit, and exit the interrupt service routine
by clearing the SLCIF flag. Because there is no data to be sent or received, the SLIC will not generate
another interrupt until the next message frame header or bus goes idle long enough to trigger a
“No-Bus-Activity” error according to the LIN specification.
NOTE
IMSG will prevent another interrupt from occurring for the current message
frame; however, if data bytes are appearing on the bus they may be
received and copied into the message buffer. This will delete any previous
data which might have been present in the buffer, even though no interrupt
is triggered to indicate the arrival of this data.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
154
Freescale Semiconductor
Initialization/Application Information
At the time the ID is read, the user might also choose to read SLCBT and copy this value out to an
application variable. This data can then be used at a time appropriate to both the application software and
the LIN communications to adjust the trim of the internal oscillator. This operation must be handled very
carefully to avoid adjusting the base timing of the MCU at the wrong time, adversely affecting the
operation of the SLIC module or of the application itself. More information about this is contained in
14.9.16 Oscillator Trimming with SLIC.
If the user software determines that the ID read out of the SLCD corresponds to a command or request
message for which this node needs to receive or transmit data (respectively), it will then move on to
procedures described in 14.9.8 Handling Command Message Frames and 14.9.9 Handling Request LIN
Message Frames.
For clarification, in this document, “command” messages will refer to any message frame where the SLIC
module is receiving data bytes and “request” messages refer to message frames where the SLIC module
will be expected to transmit data bytes. This is a generic description and should not be confused with the
terminology in the LIN specification. The LIN use of the terms “command” and “request” have the same
basic meaning, but are limited in scope to specific identifier values of 0x3C and 0x3D. In the SLIC module
documentation, these terms have been used to describe these functional types of messages, regardless
of the specific identifier value used.
14.9.7.2 Possible Errors on Message Headers
Possible errors on message headers are:
• Identifier-Parity-Error
• Byte Framing Error
14.9.8 Handling Command Message Frames
Figure 14-16 shows how to handle command message frames, where the SLIC module is receiving data
from the master node.
Command message frames refer to LIN messages frames where the master node is “commanding” the
slave node to do something. The implication is that the slave will then be receiving data from the master
for this message frame. This can be a standard LIN message frame of 1–8 data bytes, a reserved LIN
system message (using 0x3C identifier), or an extended command message frame utilizing the reserved
0x3E user defined identifier or perhaps the 0x3F LIN reserved extended identifier. The SLIC module is
capable of handling message frames containing up to 64 bytes of data, while still automatically calculating
and/or verifying the checksum.
14.9.8.1 Standard Command Message Frames
After the application software has read the incoming identifier and determined that it is a valid identifier
which cannot be ignored using IMSG, it must determine if this message frame is a command message
frame or a request message frame. (i.e., should the application receive data from the master or send data
back to the master?)
The first case, shown in Figure 14-16 deals with command messages, where the SLIC will be receiving
data from the master node. If the received identifier corresponds to a standard LIN command frame (i.e.,
1–8 data bytes), the user must then write the number of bytes (determined by the system designer and
directly linked with this particular identifier) corresponding to the length of the message frame into
SLCDLC. The two most significant bits of this register are used for special control bits describing the
nature of this message frame.

Figure 14-16. Handling Command Messages (Data Receive)
The SLIC transmit go (TXGO) bit should be 0 for command frames, indicating to the SLIC that data is
coming from the master. The checksum mode control (CHKMOD) bit allows the user to select which
method of checksum calculation is desired for this message frame. The LIN 1.3 checksum does not
include the identifier byte in the calculation, while the SAE version does include this byte. Because the
identifier is already received by the SLIC by this time, the default is to include it in the calculation. If a LIN
1.3 checksum is desired, a 1 in CHKMOD will reset the checksum circuitry to begin calculating the
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
156
Freescale Semiconductor
Initialization/Application Information
checksum on the first data byte. Using CHKMOD in this way allows the SLIC to receive messages with
either method of data consistency check and change on a frame-by-frame basis. If a system uses both
types of data consistency checking methods, the software must simply change the setting of this bit based
on the identifier of each message. If the network only uses one type of check, CHKMOD can be set as a
constant value in the user’s code. If CHKMOD is not written on each frame, care must be taken not to
accidentally modify the bit when writing the data length and TXGO bits. This is especially true if using C
code without carefully inspecting the output of the compiler and assembler.
The control bits and data length code are contained in one register, allowing the user to maximize the
efficiency of the identifier processing by writing a single byte value to indicate the nature of the message
frame. This allows very efficient identifier processing code, which is important in a command frame, as
the master node can be sending data immediately following the identifier byte which might be as little as
one byte in length. The SLIC module uses a separate internal storage area for the incoming data bytes,
so there is no danger of losing incoming data, but the user should spend as little time as possible within
the ISR to ensure that the application or other ISRs are able to use the majority of the CPU bandwidth.
The identifier must be processed in a maximum of 2 byte times on the LIN bus to ensure that the ISR
completes before the checksum would be received for the shortest possible message. This should be
easily achievable, as the only operations required are to read SLCID and look up the checksum method,
data length, and command/request state of that identifier, then write that value to the SLCDLC. This can
be easily streamlined in code with a lookup table of identifiers and corresponding SLCDLC bytes.
NOTE
Once the ID is decoded for a message header and a length code written to
SLCDLC, the SLIC is expecting that number of bytes to be received. If the
SLIC module doesn't receive the number of bytes indicated in the SLCDLC
register, it will continue to look for data bytes. If another message header
begins, a byte framing error will trigger on the break symbol of that second
message. The second message will still properly generate an ID received
interrupt, but the byte framing error prior to this is an indication to the
application that the previous message was not properly handled and should
be discarded.
14.9.8.2 Extended Command Message Frames
Handling of extended frames is very similar to handling of standard frames, providing that the length is
less than or equal to 64 bytes. Because the SLIC module can only receive 8 bytes at a time, the receive
buffer must be emptied periodically for long message frames. This is not standard LIN operation, and is
likely only to be used for downloading calibration data or reprogramming FLASH devices in a factory or
service facility, so the added steps required for processing are not as critical to performance. During these
types of operations, the application code is likely very limited in scope and special adjustments can be
made to compensate for added message processing time.
For extended command frames, the data length is still written one time at the time the identifier is
decoded, along with the TXGO and CHKMOD bits. When this is done, a software counter must also be
initialized to keep track of how many bytes are expected to be received in the message frame. The ISR
completes, clearing the SLCF flag, and resumes application execution. The SLIC will generate an
interrupt, if unmasked, after 8 bytes are received or an error is detected. At this interrupt, the SLCSV will
indicate an error condition (in case of byte framing error, idle bus) or that the receive buffer is full. If the
data is successfully received, the user must then empty the buffer by reading SLCD7-SLCD0 and then
subtract 8 from the software byte count. When this software counter reaches 8 or fewer, the remaining
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
157
Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
data bytes will fit in the buffer and only one interrupt should occur. At this time, the final interrupt may be
handled normally, continuing to use the software counter to read the proper number of bytes from the
appropriate SLCD registers.
NOTE
Do not write SLCDLC more than one time per LIN message frame. The
SLIC tracks the number of sent or received bytes based on the value written
to this register at the beginning of the data field and rewriting this register
will corrupt the checksum calculation and cause unpredictable behavior in
the SLIC module. The application software must track the number of sent
or received bytes to know what the current byte count in the SLIC is. If
programming in C, make sure to use the VOLATILE modifier on this
variable (or make it a global variable) to ensure that it keeps its value
between interrupts.
14.9.8.3 Possible Errors on Command Message Data
Possible errors on command message data are:
• Byte Framing Error
• Checksum-Error (LIN specified error)
• No-Bus-Activity (LIN specified error)
• Receiver Buffer Overrun Error
14.9.9 Handling Request LIN Message Frames
Figure 14-17 shows how to handle request message frames, where the SLIC module is sending data to
the master node.
Request message frames refer to LIN messages frames where the master node is “requesting” the slave
node to supply information. The implication is that the slave will then be transmitting data to the master
for this message frame. This can be a standard LIN message frame of 1–8 data bytes, a reserved LIN
system message (using 0x3D identifier), or an extended request message frame utilizing the reserved
0x3E identifier or perhaps the 0x3F LIN reserved extended identifier. The SLIC module is capable of
handling request message frames containing up to 64 bytes of data, while still automatically calculating
and/or verifying the checksum.
14.9.9.1 Standard Request Message Frames
Dealing with request messages with the SLIC is very similar to dealing with command messages, with
one important difference. Because the SLIC is now to be transmitting data in the LIN message frame, the
user software must load the data to be transmitted into the message buffer prior to initiating the
transmission. This means an extra step is taken inside the interrupt service routine after the identifier has
been decoded and is determined to be an ID for a request message frame.
Figure 14-17 deals with request messages, where the SLIC will be transmitting data to the master node.
If the received identifier corresponds to a standard LIN command frame (i.e., 1-8 data bytes), the
message processing is very simple. The user must load the data to be transmitted into the transmit buffer
by writing it to the SLCD registers. The first byte to be transmitted on the LIN bus must be loaded into
SLCD0, then SLCD1 for the second byte, etc. After all of the bytes to be transmitted are loaded in this
way, a single write to SLCDLC will allow the user to encode the number of data bytes to be transmitted
(1–8 bytes for standard request frames), set the proper checksum calculation method for the data

(CHKMOD), as well as signal the SLIC that the buffer is ready by writing a 1 to TXGO. TXGO will remain
set to 1 until the buffer is sent successfully or an error is encountered, signaling to the application code
that the buffer is in process of transmitting. In cases of 1–8 data bytes only being sent (standard LIN
request frames), the SLIC automatically calculates and transmits the checksum byte at the end of the
message frame. The user can exit the ISR after SLCDLC has been written and the SLCF flag has been
cleared.

Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
The next SLIC interrupt which occurs, if unmasked, will indicate the end of the request message frame
and will either indicate that the frame was properly transmitted or that an error was encountered during
transmission. Refer to 14.9.9.4 Possible Errors on Request Message Data for more detailed explanation
of these possible errors. This interrupt also signals to the application that the message frame is complete
and all data bytes and the checksum value have been properly transmitted onto the bus.
The SLIC module cannot begin to transmit the data until the user writes a 1 to TXGO, indicating that data
is ready. If the user writes TXGO without loading data into the transmit buffer, whatever data is in storage
will be transmitted, where the number of bytes transmitted is based on the data length value in the data
length register. Similarly, if the user writes the wrong value for the number of data bytes to transmit, the
SLIC will transmit that number of bytes, potentially transmitting garbage data onto the bus. The checksum
calculation is performed based on the data transmitted, and will therefore still be calculated.
The identifier must be processed, data must be loaded into the transmit buffer, and the SLCDLC value
written to initiate data transmission in a certain amount of time, based on the LIN specification. If the user
waits too long to start transmission, the master node will observe an idle bus and trigger a Slave Not
Responding error condition. The same error can be triggered if the transmission begins too late and does
not complete before the message frame times out. Refer to the LIN specification for more details on timing
constraints and requirements for LIN slave devices. This is especially important when dealing with
extended request frames, when the data must be loaded in 8 byte sections (maximum) to be transmitted
at each interrupt.
14.9.9.2 Extended Request Message Frames
Handling of extended frames is very similar to handling of standard frames, providing that the length is
less than or equal to 64 bytes. Because the SLIC module can only transmit 8 bytes at a time, the transmit
buffer must be loaded periodically for extended message frames. This is not standard LIN operation, and
is likely only to be used for special cases, so the added steps required for processing should not be as
critical to performance. During these types of operations, the application code is likely very limited in
scope and special adjustments can be made to compensate for added message processing time.
When handling extended request frames, it is important to clear the SLCF flag first, before loading any
data or writing TXGO. The data length is still written only one time, at the time the identifier is decoded,
along with the TXGO and CHKMOD bits, after the first 8 data bytes are loaded into the transmit buffer.
When this is done, a software counter must also be initialized to keep track of how many bytes are to be
transmitted in the message frame. The SLIC will generate an interrupt, if unmasked, after 8 bytes are
transmitted or an error is detected. At this interrupt, the SLCSV will indicate an error condition (in case of
byte framing error or bit error) or that the transmit buffer is empty. If the data is transmitted successfully,
the user must then clear the SLCF flag, subtract 8 from the software byte count, load the next 8 bytes into
the SLCD registers, and write a 1 to TXGO to tell the SLIC that the buffers are loaded and transmission
can commence. When this software counter reaches 8 or fewer, the remaining data bytes will fit in the
transmit buffer and the SLIC will automatically append the checksum value to the frame after the last byte
is sent.
NOTE
Do not write the CHKMOD or data length values in SLCDLC more than one
time per message frame. The SLIC tracks the number of sent or received
bytes based on the value written to this register at the beginning of the data
field and rewriting this register will corrupt the checksum calculation and
cause unpredictable behavior in the SLIC module. The application software
must track the number of sent or received bytes to know what the current
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
160
Freescale Semiconductor
Initialization/Application Information
byte count in the SLIC is. If programming in C, make sure to use the
STATIC modifier on this variable (or make it a global variable) to ensure
that it keeps its value between interrupts.
14.9.9.3 Transmit Abort
The transmit abort bit (TXABRT) in SLCC1 allows the user to cease transmission of data on the next byte
boundary. When this bit is set to 1, it will finish transmitting the byte currently being transmitted, then
cease transmission. After the transmission is successfully aborted, TXABRT will automatically be reset
by the SLIC to 0. If the SLIC is not in process of transmitting at the time TXABRT is written to 1, there is
no effect and TXABRT will read back as 0.
14.9.9.4 Possible Errors on Request Message Data
Possible errors on request message data are:
• Byte Framing Error
• Checksum-Error (LIN specified error)
• Bit-Error
14.9.10 Handling IMSG to Minimize Interrupts
The IMSG feature is designed to minimize the number of interrupts required to maintain LIN
communications. On a network with many slave nodes, it is very likely that a particular slave will observe
messages which are not intended for that node. When the SLIC module detects any message header, it
synchronizes to that message frame and bit rate, then interrupts the CPU after the identifier byte has been
successfully received and parity checked. At this time, if the software determines that the message may
be ignored, IMSG may be set to indicate to the module that the data field of the message frame is to be
ignored and no additional interrupts should be generated until the next valid message header is received.
The bit is automatically reset to 0 after the current message frame is complete and the LIN bus returns to
idle state. This reduces the load on the CPU and allows the application software to immediately begin
performing any operations which might otherwise not be allowed while receiving messaging.
NOTE
IMSG will prevent another interrupt from occurring for the current message
frame, however if data bytes are appearing on the bus they may be
received and copied into the message buffer. This will delete any previous
data which might have been present in the buffer, even though no interrupt
is triggered to indicate the arrival of this data.
14.9.11 Sleep and Wakeup Operation
The SLIC module itself has no special sleep mode, but does support low-power modes and wake-up on
network activity. For low-power operations, the user must select whether or not to allow the SLIC clock to
continue operating when the MCU issues a wait instruction through the SLC wait clock mode (SLCWCM)
bit in SLCC1. If SLCWCM = 1, the SLIC will enter SLIC STOP mode when the MCU executes a WAIT
instruction. If SLCWCM = 0, the SLIC will enter SLIC WAIT mode when the MCU executes a WAIT
instruction. For more information on these modes, as well as wakeup options from these modes, please
refer to 14.5 Modes of Operation.
When network activity occurs, the SLIC module will wake the MCU out of stop or wait mode, and return
the SLIC module to SLIC run mode. If the SLIC was in SLIC wait mode, normal SLIC interrupt processing
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
161
Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
will resume. If the SLIC was in SLIC stop mode, SLCSV will indicate wakeup as the interrupt source so
that the user knows that the SLIC module brought the MCU out of stop or wait.
In a LIN system, a system message is generally sent to all nodes to indicate that they are to enter
low-power network sleep mode. After a node enters sleep mode, it waits for outside events, such as
switch or sensor inputs or network traffic to bring it out of network sleep mode. If the node using the SLIC
module is awakened by a source other than network traffic, such as a switch input, the LIN specification
requires this node to issue a wake-up signal to the rest of the network. The SLIC module supports this
feature using WAKETX in SLCC2. The user software may set this bit and one LIN wake-up signal is
immediately transmitted on the bus, then the bit is automatically cleared by the SLIC module. If another
wake-up signal is required to be sent, the user must set WAKETX again.
In a LIN system, the LIN physical interface can often also provide an output to the IRQ pin to provide a
wake-up mechanism on network activity. The physical layer might also control voltage regulation supply
to the MCU, cutting power to the MCU when the physical layer is placed in its low-power mode. The user
must take care to ensure that the interaction between the physical layer, IRQ pin, SLIC transmit and
receive pins, and power supply regulator is fully understood and designed to ensure proper operation.
14.9.12 Polling Operation
It is possible to operate the SLIC module in polling mode, if desired. The primary difference is that the
SLIC interrupt request should not be enabled (SLCIE = 0). The SLCSV will update and operate properly
and interrupt requests will be indicated with the SLCF flag, which can be polled to determine status
changes in the SLIC module. It is required that the polling rate be fast enough to ensure that SLIC status
changes be recognized and processed in time to ensure that all application timings can be met.
14.9.13 LIN Data Integrity Checking Methods
The SLIC module supports two different LIN-based data integrity options:
• The first option supports LIN 1.3 and older methods of checksum calculations.
• The second option supports an optional additional enhanced checksum calculation which has
greater data integrity coverage.
The LIN 1.3 and earlier specifications transmit a checksum byte in the “CHECKSUM FIELD” of the LIN
message frame. This CHECKSUM FIELD contains the inverted modulo-256 sum over all data bytes. The
sum is calculated by an “ADD with Carry” where the carry bit of each addition is added to the least
significant bit (LSB) of its resulting sum. This guarantees security also for the MSBs of the data bytes. The
sum of modulo-256 sum over all data bytes and the checksum byte must be ’0xFF’.
An optional checksum calculation can also be performed on a LIN data frame which is very similar to the
LIN 1.3 calculation, but with one important distinction. This enhanced calculation simply includes the
identifier field as the first value in the calculation, whereas the LIN 1.3 calculation begins with the least
significant byte of the data field (which is the first byte to be transmitted on the bus). This enhanced
calculation further ensures that the identifier field is correct and ties the identifier and data together under
a common calculation, ensuring greater reliability.
In the SLIC module, either checksum calculation can be performed on any given message frame by
simply writing or clearing CHKMOD in SLCDLC, as desired, when the identifier for the message frame is
decoded. The appropriate calculation for each message frame should be decided at system design time
and documented in the LIN description file, indicating to the user which calculation to use for a particular
identifier.

14.9.14 High-Speed LIN Operation
High-speed LIN operation does not necessarily require any reconfiguration of the SLIC module,
depending upon what maximum LIN bit rate is desired. Several factors affect the performance of the SLIC
module at LIN speeds higher than 20 kbps, all of which are functions of the speed of the SLIC clock and
the prescaler of the digital filter. The tightest constraint comes from the need to maintain ±1.5% accuracy
with the master node timing. This requires that the SLIC module be able to sample the incoming data
stream accurately enough to guarantee that accuracy. Table 14-5 shows the maximum LIN bit rates
allowable to maintain this accuracy.

The above numbers assume a perfect input waveforms into the SLCRX pin, where 1 and 0 bits are of
equal length and are exactly the correct length for the appropriate speed. Factors such as physical layer
wave shaping and ground shift can affect the symmetry of these waveforms, causing bits to appear
shortened or lengthened as seen by the SLIC module. The user must take these factors into account and
base the maximum speed upon the shortest possible bit time that the SLIC module may observe, factoring
in all physical layer effects. On some LIN physical layer devices it is possible to turn off wave shaping
circuitry for high-speed operation, removing this portion of the physical layer error.
The digital receive filter can also affect high speed operation if it is set too low and begins to filter out valid
message traffic. Under ideal conditions, this will not happen, as the digital filter maximum speeds
allowable are higher than the speeds allowed for ±1.5% accuracy. If the digital receive filter prescaler is
set to divide- by-4; however, the filter delay is very close to the ±1.5% accuracy maximum bit time.
For example, with a SLIC clock of 4 MHz, the SLIC module is capable of maintaining ±1.5% accuracy up
to 60,000 bps. If the digital receive filter prescaler is set to divide-by-4, this means that the filter will only
pass message traffic which is 62,500 bps or slower under ideal circumstances. This is only a difference
of 2,500 bps (4.17% of the nominal valid message traffic speed). In this case, the user must ensure that
with all errors accounted for, no bit will appear shorter than 16 μs
(1 bit at 62,500 bps) or the filter will block that bit. This is far too narrow a margin for safe design practices.
The better solution would be to reduce the filter prescaler, increasing the gap between the filter cut-off
point and the nominal speed of valid message traffic. Changing the prescaler to divide by 2 in this example
gives a filter cut-off of 125,000 bps, which is 60,000 bps faster than the nominal speed of the LIN bus and
much less likely to interfere with valid message traffic.
To ensure that all valid messages pass the filter stage in high-speed operation, it is best to ensure that
the filter cut-off point is at least 2 times the nominal speed of the fastest message traffic to appear on the
bus. Refer to Table 14-6 for a more complete list of the digital receive filter delays as they relate to the
maximum LIN bus frequency. Table 14-7 repeats much of the data found in Table 14-6; however, the filter

delay values (cutoff values) are shown in the frequency and time domains. Note that Table 14-7 shows
the filter performance under ideal conditions.
When switching between a low-speed (< 4800 bps) to a high-speed (> 40000 bps) LIN message, the
master node must allow a minimum idle time of eight bit times (of the slowest bit rate) between the
messages. This prevents a valid message at another frequency from being detected as an invalid
message.

14.9.15 Byte Transfer Mode Operation
This subsection describes the operation and limitations of the optional UART-like byte transfer mode
(BTM). This mode allows sending and receiving individual bytes, but changes the behavior of the SLCBT
registers (now read/write registers) and locks the SLCDLC to 1 byte data length. The SLCBT value now
becomes the bit time reference for the SLIC, where the software sets the length of one bit time rather than
the SLIC module itself. This is similar to an input capture/output compare (IC/OC) count in a timer module,
where the count value represents the number of SLIC clock counts in one bit time.
Byte transfer mode assumes that the user has a very stable, precise oscillator, resonator, or clock
reference input into the MCU and is therefore not appropriate for use with internal oscillators. There is no
synchronization method available to the user in this mode and the user must tell the SLIC how many clock
counts comprise a bit time. Figure 14-18, Figure 14-19, Figure 14-20, and Figure 14-21 show calculations
to determine the SLCBT value for different settings.
NOTE
It is possible to use the LIN autobauding circuitry in a non-LIN system to
derive the correct bit timing values if system constraints allow. To do this
the SLIC module must be activated in LIN mode (BTM=0) and receive a
break symbol, 0x55 data byte and one additional data byte (at the desired
BTM speed). Upon receiving this sequence of symbols which appears to be
a LIN header, the SLIC module will assert an ID received successfully
interrupt (SLCSV=0x2C). The value in the SLCBT registers will reflect the
bit rate which the 0x55 data character was received and can be saved to
RAM. The user then switches the SLIC into BTM mode and reloads this
value from RAM and the SLIC will be configured to communicate in BTM
mode at the baud rate which the 0x55 data character was sent.
In the example in Figure 14-18, the user should write 0x16, as a write of 0x15 (decimal value of 21) would
automatically revert to 0x14, resulting in transmitted bit times that are 1.33 SLIC clock periods too short
rather than 0.667 SLIC clock periods too long. The optimal choice, which gives the smallest resolution
error, is the closest even number of SLIC clocks to the exact calculated SLCBT value.
There is a trade-off between maximum bit rate and resolution with the SLIC in BTM mode. Faster SLIC
clock speeds improve resolution, but require higher numbers to be written to the SLCBT registers for a
given desired bit rate. It is up to the user to determine what level of resolution is acceptable for the given
application.

This resolution affects the sampling accuracy of the SLIC module on receiving bytes, but only as far as
locating the sample point of each bit within a given byte. The best sample point of the bit may be off by
as much as one SLIC clock period from the exact center of the bit, if the proper SLCBT value for the
desired bit rate is an odd number of SLIC clock periods.

Initialization/Application Information
Figure 14-22 shows an example of this error. In this example, the user has additionally chosen an
incorrect value of 30 SLIC clocks for the length of one bit time, and a filter prescaler of 1. This makes little
difference in the receive sampling of this particular bit, as the sample point is still within the bit and the
digital filter will catch any noise pulses shorter than 16 filter clocks long.The ideal value of SLCBT would
be 35 SLIC clocks, but the closest available value is 34, placing the sample point at 17 SLIC clocks into
the bit.
The error in the bit time value chosen by the user in the above example will grow throughout the byte, as
the sample point for the next bit will be only 30 SLIC clock cycles later (1 full bit time at this bit rate setting).
The SLIC resynchronizes upon every falling edge received. In a 0x00 data byte, however, there are no
falling edges after the beginning of the start bit. This means that the accumulated error of the sampling
point over the data byte with these settings could be as high as 30 SLIC clock cycles (10 bits x {2 SLIC
clocks due to user error + 1 SLIC clock resolution error}) placing it at the boundary between the last bit
and the stop bit. This could result in missampling and missing a byte framing error on the last bit on high
speed communications when the SLCBT count is relatively low. A properly chosen SLCBT value would
result in a maximum error of 10 SLIC clock counts over a given byte. This is less than one filter delay time,
and will not cause missampling of any of the bits in that byte. At the falling edge of the next start bit, the
SLIC will resynchronize and any accumulated sampling error returns to 0. The sampling error becomes
even less significant at lower speeds, when higher values of SLCBT are used to define a bit time, as the
worst case bit time resolution error is still only one SLIC clock per bit (or maximum of 10 SLIC clocks per
byte).

The error also comes into effect with transmitted bit times. Using the previous example with a SLCBT
value of 34, transmitted bits will appear as 34 SLIC clock periods long. This is one SLIC clock short of the
proper length. Depending on the frequency of the SLIC clock, one period of the SLIC clock might be a
large or a small fraction of one ideal bit time. Raising the frequency of the SLIC clock will reduce this error
relative to the ideal bit time, improving the resolution of the SLIC clock relative to the bit rate of the bus.
In any case, the error is still one SLIC clock cycle. Raising the SLIC clock frequency, however, requires
programming a higher value for SLCBT to maintain the same target bit rate.
Smaller values of SLCBT combined with higher values of the SLIC clock frequency (smaller clock period)
will give faster bit rates, but the SLIC clock period becomes an increasingly significant portion of one bit
time.
Because BTM mode does not perform any synchronization and relies on the accuracy of the data
provided by the user software to set its sample point and generate transmitted bits, the constraint on
maximum speeds is only limited to the limits imposed by the digital filter delay and the SLIC input clock.
Because the digital filter delay cannot be less than 16 SLIC clock cycles, the fastest possible pulse which
would pass the filter is 16 clock periods at 8 MHz, or 500,000 bits/second. The values shown in Table 14-7
are the same values shown in Table 14-8 and indicate the absolute fastest bit rates which could just pass
the minimum digital filter settings (prescaler = divide by 1) under perfect conditions.
Because perfect conditions are almost impossible to attain, more robust values must be chosen for bit
rates. For reliable communication, it is best to ensure that a bit time is no smaller 2x–3x longer than the
filter delay on the digital receive filter. This is true in LIN or BTM mode and ensures that valid data bits
which have been shortened due to ground shift, asymmetrical rise and fall times, etc., are accepted by
the filter without exception. This would translate to 2x to 3x reduction in the maximum speeds shown in
Table 14-7. Recommended maximum bit rates are shown in Table 14-8, and ensure that a single bit time
is at least twice the length of one filter delay value. If system noise is not adequately filtered out it might
be necessary to change the prescaler of the filter and lower the bit rate of the communication. If valid
communications are being absorbed by the filter, corrective action must be taken to ensure that either the
bit rate is reduced or whatever physical fault is causing bit times to shorten is corrected (ground offset,
asymmetrical rise/fall times, insufficient physical layer supply voltage, etc.).

1. Bit rates over 120,000 bits per second are not recommended for BTM communications, as
physical layer delay between the TX and RX pins can cause the stop bit of a byte to be

Initialization/Application Information
14.9.16 Oscillator Trimming with SLIC
SLCACT can be used as an indicator of LIN bus activity. SLCACT tells the user that the SLIC is currently
processing a message header (therefore synchronizing to the bus) or processing a message frame
(including checksum). Therefore, at idle times between message frames or during a message frame
which has been marked as a “don’t care” by writing IMSG, it is possible to trim the oscillator circuit of the
MCU with no impact to the LIN communications.
It is important to note the exact mechanisms with which the SLIC sets and clears SLCACT. Any falling
edge which successfully passes through the digital receive filter will cause SLCACT to become set. This
might even include noise pulses, if they are of sufficient length to pass through the digital RX filter.
Although in these cases SLCACT is becoming set on a noise spike, it is very probable that noise of this
nature will cause other system issues as well such as corruption of the message frame. The software can
then further qualify if it is appropriate to trim the oscillator.
SLCACT will only be cleared by the SLIC upon successful completion of a normal LIN message frame
(see 14.8.3 SLIC Status Register description for more detail). This means that in some cases, if a
message frame terminates with an error condition or some source other than those cited in the SLCACT
bit description, SLCACT might remain set during an otherwise idle bus time. SLCACT will then clear upon
the successful completion of the next LIN message frame.
These mechanisms might result in SLCACT being set when it is safe (from the SLIC module perspective)
to trim the oscillator. However, SLCACT will only be clear when the SLIC considers it safe to trim the
oscillator.
In a particular system, it might also be possible to improve the opportunities for trimming by using system
knowledge and use of IMSG. If a message ID is known to be considered a “don’t care” by this particular
node, it should be safe to trim the oscillator during that message frame (provided that it is safe for the
application software as well). After the software has done an identifier lookup and determined that the ID
corresponds to a “don’t care” message, the software might choose to set IMSG. From that time, the
application software should have at least one byte time of message traffic in which to trim the oscillator
before that ignored message frame expires, regardless of the state of SLCACT. If the length of that
ignored message frame is known, that knowledge might also be used to extend the time of this oscillator
trimming opportunity.
Now that the mechanisms for recognizing when the SLIC module indicates safe oscillator trimming
opportunities are understood, it is important to understand how to derive the information needed to
perform the trimming.
The value in SLCBT will indicate how many SLIC clock cycles comprise one bit time and for any given
LIN bus speed, this will be a fixed value if the oscillator is running at its ideal frequency. It is possible to
use this ideal value combined with the measured value in SLCBT to determine how to adjust the oscillator
of the microcontroller.
The actual oscillator trimming algorithm is very specific to each particular implementation, and
applications might or might not require the oscillator even to be trimmed. The SLIC can maintain
communications even with input oscillator variation of ±50% (with 4 MHz nominal, that means that any
input clock into the SLIC from 2 MHz to 6 MHz will still guarantee communications). Because Freescale
internal oscillators are at least within ±25% of their nominal value, even when untrimmed, this means that
trimming of the oscillator is not even required for LIN communications. If the application can tolerate the
range of frequencies which might appear within this manufacturing range, then it is not necessary ever to
trim the oscillator. This can be a tremendous advantage to the customer, enabling migration to very
low-cost ROM devices which have no non-volatile memory in which to store the trim value.

Freescale Semiconductor
169
Slave LIN Interface Controller (SLIC) Module
NOTE
Even though most internal oscillators are within ±25% before trimming, they
are stable at some frequency in that range, within at least ±5% over the
entire operating voltage and temperature range. The trimming operation
simply eliminates the offset due to factory manufacturing variations to
re-center the base oscillator frequency to the nominal value. Please refer to
the electrical specifications for the oscillator for more specific information,
as exact specifications might differ from module to module.
14.9.17 Digital Receive Filter
The receiver section of the SLIC module includes a digital low-pass filter to remove narrow noise pulses
from the incoming message. block diagram of the digital filter is shown in Figure 14-23.

14.9.17.1 Digital Filter Operation
The clock for the digital filter is provided by the SLIC Interface clock. At each positive edge of the clock
signal, the current state of the receiver input signal from the SLCRX pad is sampled. The SLCRX signal
state is used to determine whether the counter should increment or decrement at the next positive edge
of the clock signal.
The counter will increment if the input data sample is high but decrement if the input sample is low. The
counter will thus progress up towards the highest count value (determined by RXFP bit settings), on
average, the SLCRX signal remains high or progress down towards ‘0’ if, on average, the SLCRX signal
remains low. The final counter value which determines when the filter will change state is generated by
shifting the RXFP value right two positions and bitwise OR-ing the result with the value 0x0F. For
example, a prescale setting of divide by 3 (RXFP = 0x80) would give a count value of 0x2F.
When the counter eventually reaches this value, the digital filter decides that the condition of the SLCRX
signal is at a stable logic level 1 and the data latch is set, causing the filtered Rx data signal to become a
logic level 1. Furthermore, the counter is prevented from overflowing and can only be decremented from
this state.
Alternatively, when the counter eventually reaches the value ‘0’, the digital filter decides that the condition
of the SLCRX signal is at a stable logic level 0 and the data latch is reset, causing the filtered Rx data
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
170
Freescale Semiconductor
Initialization/Application Information
signal to become a logic level 0. Furthermore, the counter is prevented from underflowing and can only
be incremented from this state.
The data latch will retain its value until the counter next reaches the opposite end point, signifying a
definite transition of the SLCRX signal.
14.9.17.2 Digital Filter Performance
The performance of the digital filter is best described in the time domain rather than the frequency domain.
If the signal on the SLCRX signal transitions, then there will be a delay before that transition appears at
the filtered Rx data output signal. This delay will be between 15 and 16 clock periods, depending on where
the transition occurs with respect to the sampling points. This ‘filter delay’ is not an issue for SLIC
operation, as there is no need for message arbitration.
The effect of random noise on the SLCRX signal depends on the characteristics of the noise itself. Narrow
noise pulses on the SLCRX signal will be completely ignored if they are shorter than the filter delay. This
provides a degree of low-pass filtering. Figure 14-23 shows the configuration of the digital receive filter
and the consequential effect on the filter delay. This filter delay value indicates that for a particular setup,
only pulses of which are greater than the filter delay will pass the filter.
For example, if the frequency of the SLIC clock (fSLIC) is 3.2 MHz, then the period (tSLIC) is of the SLIC
clock is 313 ns. With the default receive filter prescaler setting of division by 3, the resulting maximum
filter delay in the absence of noise will be 15.00 μs. By simply changing the prescaler of the receive filter,
the user can then select alternatively 5 μs, 10 μs, or 20 μs as a minimum filter delay according to the
systems requirements.
If noise occurs during a symbol transition, the detection of that transition may be delayed by an amount
equal to the length of the noise burst. This is just a reflection of the uncertainty of where the transition is
truly occurring within the noise.
NOTE
The user must always account for the worst case bit timing of their LIN bus
when configuring the digital receive filter, especially if running at faster
speeds. Ground offset and other physical layer conditions can cause
shortening of bits as seen at the digital receive pin, for example. If these
shortened bit lengths are less than the filter delay, the bits will be
interpreted by the filter as noise and will be blocked, even though the
nominal bit timing might be greater than the filter delay.

Timer Interface Module (TIM)
15.1 Introduction
This section describes the timer interface module (TIM). The TIM module is a 2-channel timer that
provides a timing reference with input capture, output compare, and pulse-width-modulation functions.
The TIM module shares its pins with general-purpose input/output (I/O) port pins. See Figure 15-1 for port
location of these shared pins.
15.2 Features
Features include the following:
• Two input capture/output compare channels
– Rising-edge, falling-edge, or any-edge input capture trigger
– Set, clear, or toggle output compare action
• Buffered and unbuffered output compare pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal generation
• Programmable clock input
– 7-frequency internal bus clock prescaler selection
– External clock input pin if available, See Figure 15-1
• Free-running or modulo up-count operation
• Toggle any channel pin on overflow
• Counter stop and reset bits
15.3 Functional Description
Figure 15-2 shows the structure of the TIM. The central component of the TIM is the 16-bit counter that
can operate as a free-running counter or a modulo up-counter. The counter provides the timing reference
for the input capture and output compare functions. The counter modulo registers, TMODH:TMODL,
control the modulo value of the counter. Software can read the counter value, TCNTH:TCNTL, at any time
without affecting the counting sequence.
The two TIM channels are programmable independently as input capture or output compare channels.
15.3.1 TIM Counter Prescaler
The TIM clock source is one of the seven prescaler outputs or the external clock input pin, TCLK if
available. The prescaler generates seven clock rates from the internal bus clock. The prescaler select
bits, PS[2:0], in the TIM status and control register (TSC) select the clock source.

15.3.2 Input Capture
With the input capture function, the TIM can capture the time at which an external event occurs. When an
active edge occurs on the pin of an input capture channel, the TIM latches the contents of the counter into
the TIM channel registers, TCHxH:TCHxL. The polarity of the active edge is programmable. Input
captures can be enabled to generate interrupt requests.
15.3.3 Output Compare
With the output compare function, the TIM can generate a periodic pulse with a programmable polarity,
duration, and frequency. When the counter reaches the value in the registers of an output compare
channel, the TIM can set, clear, or toggle the channel pin. Output compares can be enabled to generate
interrupt requests.

15.3.3.1 Unbuffered Output Compare
Any output compare channel can generate unbuffered output compare pulses as described in 15.3.3
Output Compare. The pulses are unbuffered because changing the output compare value requires writing
the new value over the old value currently in the TIM channel registers.
An unsynchronized write to the TIM channel registers to change an output compare value could cause
incorrect operation for up to two counter overflow periods. For example, writing a new value before the
counter reaches the old value but after the counter reaches the new value prevents any compare during
that counter overflow period. Also, using a TIM overflow interrupt routine to write a new, smaller output
compare value may cause the compare to be missed. The TIM may pass the new value before it is written.
Use the following methods to synchronize unbuffered changes in the output compare value on channel x:
• When changing to a smaller value, enable channel x output compare interrupts and write the new
value in the output compare interrupt routine. The output compare interrupt occurs at the end of
the current output compare pulse. The interrupt routine has until the end of the counter overflow
period to write the new value.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
175
Timer Interface Module (TIM)
•
When changing to a larger output compare value, enable TIM overflow interrupts and write the new
value in the TIM overflow interrupt routine. The TIM overflow interrupt occurs at the end of the
current counter overflow period. Writing a larger value in an output compare interrupt routine (at
the end of the current pulse) could cause two output compares to occur in the same counter
overflow period.
15.3.3.2 Buffered Output Compare
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered output compare channel whose output appears on the
TCH0 pin. The TIM channel registers of the linked pair alternately control the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIM channel 0 status and control register (TSC0) links channel 0 and channel 1.
The output compare value in the TIM channel 0 registers initially controls the output on the TCH0 pin.
Writing to the TIM channel 1 registers enables the TIM channel 1 registers to synchronously control the
output after the TIM overflows. At each subsequent overflow, the TIM channel registers (0 or 1) that
control the output are the ones written to last. TSC0 controls and monitors the buffered output compare
function, and TIM channel 1 status and control register (TSC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set, the
channel 1 pin, TCH1, is available as a general-purpose I/O pin.
NOTE
In buffered output compare operation, do not write new output compare
values to the currently active channel registers. User software should track
the currently active channel to prevent writing a new value to the active
channel. Writing to the active channel registers is the same as generating
unbuffered output compares.
15.3.4 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
By using the toggle-on-overflow feature with an output compare channel, the TIM can generate a PWM
signal. The value in the TIM counter modulo registers determines the period of the PWM signal. The
channel pin toggles when the counter reaches the value in the TIM counter modulo registers. The time
between overflows is the period of the PWM signal.
As Figure 15-3 shows, the output compare value in the TIM channel registers determines the pulse width
of the PWM signal. The time between overflow and output compare is the pulse width. Program the TIM
to clear the channel pin on output compare if the polarity of the PWM pulse is 1 (ELSxA = 0). Program the
TIM to set the pin if the polarity of the PWM pulse is 0 (ELSxA = 1).

Freescale Semiconductor
Functional Description
The value in the TIM counter modulo registers and the selected prescaler output determines the
frequency of the PWM output The frequency of an 8-bit PWM signal is variable in 256 increments. Writing
$00FF (255) to the TIM counter modulo registers produces a PWM period of 256 times the internal bus
clock period if the prescaler select value is 000. See 15.8.1 TIM Status and Control Register.
The value in the TIM channel registers determines the pulse width of the PWM output. The pulse width of
an 8-bit PWM signal is variable in 256 increments. Writing $0080 (128) to the TIM channel registers
produces a duty cycle of 128/256 or 50%.
15.3.4.1 Unbuffered PWM Signal Generation
Any output compare channel can generate unbuffered PWM pulses as described in 15.3.4 Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM). The pulses are unbuffered because changing the pulse width requires writing the new
pulse width value over the old value currently in the TIM channel registers.
An unsynchronized write to the TIM channel registers to change a pulse width value could cause incorrect
operation for up to two PWM periods. For example, writing a new value before the counter reaches the
old value but after the counter reaches the new value prevents any compare during that PWM period.
Also, using a TIM overflow interrupt routine to write a new, smaller pulse width value may cause the
compare to be missed. The TIM may pass the new value before it is written to the timer channel
(TCHxH:TCHxL).
Use the following methods to synchronize unbuffered changes in the PWM pulse width on channel x:
• When changing to a shorter pulse width, enable channel x output compare interrupts and write the
new value in the output compare interrupt routine. The output compare interrupt occurs at the end
of the current pulse. The interrupt routine has until the end of the PWM period to write the new
value.
• When changing to a longer pulse width, enable TIM overflow interrupts and write the new value in
the TIM overflow interrupt routine. The TIM overflow interrupt occurs at the end of the current PWM
period. Writing a larger value in an output compare interrupt routine (at the end of the current pulse)
could cause two output compares to occur in the same PWM period.
NOTE
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle on
output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0% duty
cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to self-correct in the
event of software error or noise. Toggling on output compare also can
cause incorrect PWM signal generation when changing the PWM pulse
width to a new, much larger value.
15.3.4.2 Buffered PWM Signal Generation
Channels 0 and 1 can be linked to form a buffered PWM channel whose output appears on the TCH0 pin.
The TIM channel registers of the linked pair alternately control the output.
Setting the MS0B bit in TIM channel 0 status and control register (TSC0) links channel 0 and channel 1.
The TIM channel 0 registers initially control the pulse width on the TCH0 pin. Writing to the TIM channel 1
registers enables the TIM channel 1 registers to synchronously control the pulse width at the beginning
of the next PWM period. At each subsequent overflow, the TIM channel registers (0 or 1) that control the
pulse width are the ones written to last. TSC0 controls and monitors the buffered PWM function, and TIM
channel 1 status and control register (TSC1) is unused. While the MS0B bit is set, the channel 1 pin,
TCH1, is available as a general-purpose I/O pin.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
Freescale Semiconductor
177
Timer Interface Module (TIM)
NOTE
In buffered PWM signal generation, do not write new pulse width values to
the currently active channel registers. User software should track the
currently active channel to prevent writing a new value to the active
channel. Writing to the active channel registers is the same as generating
unbuffered PWM signals.
15.3.4.3 PWM Initialization
To ensure correct operation when generating unbuffered or buffered PWM signals, use the following
initialization procedure:
1. In the TIM status and control register (TSC):
a. Stop the counter by setting the TIM stop bit, TSTOP.
b. Reset the counter and prescaler by setting the TIM reset bit, TRST.
2. In the TIM counter modulo registers (TMODH:TMODL), write the value for the required PWM
period.
3. In the TIM channel x registers (TCHxH:TCHxL), write the value for the required pulse width.
4. In TIM channel x status and control register (TSCx):
a. Write 0:1 (for unbuffered output compare or PWM signals) or 1:0 (for buffered output compare
or PWM signals) to the mode select bits, MSxB:MSxA. See Table 15-2.
b. Write 1 to the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx.
c. Write 1:0 (polarity 1 — to clear output on compare) or 1:1 (polarity 0 — to set output on
compare) to the edge/level select bits, ELSxB:ELSxA. The output action on compare must
force the output to the complement of the pulse width level. See Table 15-2.
NOTE
In PWM signal generation, do not program the PWM channel to toggle on
output compare. Toggling on output compare prevents reliable 0% duty
cycle generation and removes the ability of the channel to self-correct in the
event of software error or noise. Toggling on output compare can also
cause incorrect PWM signal generation when changing the PWM pulse
width to a new, much larger value.
5. In the TIM status control register (TSC), clear the TIM stop bit, TSTOP.
Setting MS0B links channels 0 and 1 and configures them for buffered PWM operation. The TIM
channel 0 registers (TCH0H:TCH0L) initially control the buffered PWM output. TIM status control
register 0 (TSCR0) controls and monitors the PWM signal from the linked channels. MS0B takes priority
over MS0A.
Clearing the toggle-on-overflow bit, TOVx, inhibits output toggles on TIM overflows. Subsequent output
compares try to force the output to a state it is already in and have no effect. The result is a 0% duty cycle
output.
Setting the channel x maximum duty cycle bit (CHxMAX) and setting the TOVx bit generates a 100% duty
cycle output. See 15.8.1 TIM Status and Control Register.

Interrupts
15.4 Interrupts
The following TIM sources can generate interrupt requests:
• TIM overflow flag (TOF) — The TOF bit is set when the counter reaches the modulo value
programmed in the TIM counter modulo registers. The TIM overflow interrupt enable bit, TOIE,
enables TIM overflow interrupt requests. TOF and TOIE are in the TSC register.
• TIM channel flags (CH1F:CH0F) — The CHxF bit is set when an input capture or output compare
occurs on channel x. Channel x TIM interrupt requests are controlled by the channel x interrupt
enable bit, CHxIE. Channel x TIM interrupt requests are enabled when CHxIE =1. CHxF and
CHxIE are in the TSCx register.
15.5 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes.
15.5.1 Wait Mode
The TIM remains active after the execution of a WAIT instruction. In wait mode the TIM registers are not
accessible by the CPU. Any enabled interrupt request from the TIM can bring the MCU out of wait mode.
If TIM functions are not required during wait mode, reduce power consumption by stopping the TIM before
executing the WAIT instruction.
15.5.2 Stop Mode
The TIM module is inactive after the execution of a STOP instruction. The STOP instruction does not
affect register conditions. TIM operation resumes after an external interrupt. If stop mode is exited by
reset, the TIM is reset.
15.6 TIM During Break Interrupts
A break interrupt stops the counter and inhibits input captures.
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether status bits in other modules can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status
bits during the break state. See BFCR in the SIM section of this data sheet.
To allow software to clear status bits during a break interrupt, write a 1 to BCFE. If a status bit is cleared
during the break state, it remains cleared when the MCU exits the break state.
To protect status bits during the break state, write a 0 to BCFE. With BCFE cleared (its default state),
software can read and write registers during the break state without affecting status bits. Some status bits
have a two-step read/write clearing procedure. If software does the first step on such a bit before the
break, the bit cannot change during the break state as long as BCFE is cleared. After the break, doing the
second step clears the status bit.
15.7 I/O Signals
The TIM module can share its pins with the general-purpose I/O pins. See Figure 15-1 for the port pins
that are shared.

Timer Interface Module (TIM)
15.7.1 TIM Channel I/O Pins (TCH1:TCH0)
Each channel I/O pin is programmable independently as an input capture pin or an output compare pin.
TCH0 can be configured as buffered output compare or buffered PWM pin.
15.7.2 TIM Clock Pin (TCLK)
TCLK is an external clock input that can be the clock source for the counter instead of the prescaled
internal bus clock. Select the TCLK input by writing 1s to the three prescaler select bits, PS[2:0]. The
minimum TCLK pulse width is specified in the Timer Interface Module Characteristics table in the
Electricals section. The maximum TCLK frequency is the least of 4 MHz or bus frequency ÷ 2.
15.8 Registers
The following registers control and monitor operation of the TIM:
• TIM status and control register (TSC)
• TIM control registers (TCNTH:TCNTL)
• TIM counter modulo registers (TMODH:TMODL)
• TIM channel status and control registers (TSC0 and TSC1)
• TIM channel registers (TCH0H:TCH0L and TCH1H:TCH1L)
15.8.1 TIM Status and Control Register
The TIM status and control register (TSC) does the following:
• Enables TIM overflow interrupts
• Flags TIM overflows
• Stops the counter
• Resets the counter
• Prescales the counter clock

TOF — TIM Overflow Flag Bit
This read/write flag is set when the counter reaches the modulo value programmed in the TIM counter
modulo registers. Clear TOF by reading the TSC register when TOF is set and then writing a 0 to TOF.
If another TIM overflow occurs before the clearing sequence is complete, then writing 0 to TOF has no
effect. Therefore, a TOF interrupt request cannot be lost due to inadvertent clearing of TOF. Writing a
1 to TOF has no effect.

TOIE — TIM Overflow Interrupt Enable Bit
This read/write bit enables TIM overflow interrupts when the TOF bit becomes set.

TSTOP — TIM Stop Bit
This read/write bit stops the counter. Counting resumes when TSTOP is cleared. Reset sets the
TSTOP bit, stopping the counter until software clears the TSTOP bit.
1 = Counter stopped
0 = Counter active
NOTE
Do not set the TSTOP bit before entering wait mode if the TIM is required
to exit wait mode. Also, when the TSTOP bit is set and the timer is
configured for input capture operation, input captures are inhibited until the
TSTOP bit is cleared.
TRST — TIM Reset Bit
Setting this write-only bit resets the counter and the TIM prescaler. Setting TRST has no effect on any
other timer registers. Counting resumes from $0000. TRST is cleared automatically after the counter
is reset and always reads as 0.
1 = Prescaler and counter cleared
0 = No effect
NOTE
Setting the TSTOP and TRST bits simultaneously stops the counter at a
value of $0000. PS[2:0] — Prescaler Select Bits
These read/write bits select one of the seven prescaler outputs as the input to the counter as

15.8.2 TIM Counter Registers
The two read-only TIM counter registers contain the high and low bytes of the value in the counter.
Reading the high byte (TCNTH) latches the contents of the low byte (TCNTL) into a buffer. Subsequent
reads of TCNTH do not affect the latched TCNTL value until TCNTL is read. Reset clears the TIM counter
registers. Setting the TIM reset bit (TRST) also clears the TIM counter registers.

NOTE
If you read TCNTH during a break interrupt, be sure to unlatch TCNTL by
reading TCNTL before exiting the break interrupt. Otherwise, TCNTL
retains the value latched during the break.

When channel x is an input capture channel, this read/write bit is set when an active edge occurs on
the channel x pin. When channel x is an output compare channel, CHxF is set when the value in the
counter registers matches the value in the TIM channel x registers.
Clear CHxF by reading the TSCx register with CHxF set and then writing a 0 to CHxF. If another
interrupt request occurs before the clearing sequence is complete, then writing 0 to CHxF has no
effect. Therefore, an interrupt request cannot be lost due to inadvertent clearing of CHxF.

ELSxB and ELSxA — Edge/Level Select Bits
When channel x is an input capture channel, these read/write bits control the active edge-sensing logic
on channel x.
When channel x is an output compare channel, ELSxB and ELSxA control the channel x output
behavior when an output compare occurs.
When ELSxB and ELSxA are both clear, channel x is not connected to an I/O port, and pin TCHx is
available as a general-purpose I/O pin. Table 15-2 shows how ELSxB and ELSxA work.
NOTE
After initially enabling a TIM channel register for input capture operation
and selecting the edge sensitivity, clear CHxF to ignore any erroneous
edge detection flags.
TOVx — Toggle-On-Overflow Bit
When channel x is an output compare channel, this read/write bit controls the behavior of the channel
x output when the counter overflows. When channel x is an input capture channel, TOVx has no effect.
1 = Channel x pin toggles on TIM counter overflow.
0 = Channel x pin does not toggle on TIM counter overflow.
NOTE

16.1 Introduction
This section describes the break module, the monitor module, and the monitor mode entry methods.
16.2 Break Module (BRK)
The break module can generate a break interrupt that stops normal program flow at a defined address to
enter a background program.
Features include:
• Accessible input/output (I/O) registers during the break Interrupt
• Central processor unit (CPU) generated break interrupts
• Software-generated break interrupts
• Computer operating properly (COP) disabling during break interrupts
16.2.1 Functional Description
When the internal address bus matches the value written in the break address registers, the break module
issues a breakpoint signal (BKPT) to the system integration module (SIM). The SIM then causes the CPU
to load the instruction register with a software interrupt instruction (SWI). The program counter vectors to
$FFFC and $FFFD ($FEFC and $FEFD in monitor mode).
The following events can cause a break interrupt to occur:
• A CPU generated address (the address in the program counter) matches the contents of the break
address registers.
• Software writes a 1 to the BRKA bit in the break status and control register.
When a CPU generated address matches the contents of the break address registers, the break interrupt
is generated. A return-from-interrupt instruction (RTI) in the break routine ends the break interrupt and
returns the microcontroller unit (MCU) to normal operation.
Figure 16-2 shows the structure of the break module.

When the internal address bus matches the value written in the break address registers or when software
writes a 1 to the BRKA bit in the break status and control register, the CPU starts a break interrupt by:
• Loading the instruction register with the SWI instruction
• Loading the program counter with $FFFC and $FFFD ($FEFC and $FEFD in monitor mode)
The break interrupt timing is:
• When a break address is placed at the address of the instruction opcode, the instruction is not
executed until after completion of the break interrupt routine.
• When a break address is placed at an address of an instruction operand, the instruction is executed
before the break interrupt.
• When software writes a 1 to the BRKA bit, the break interrupt occurs just before the next instruction
is executed.
By updating a break address and clearing the BRKA bit in a break interrupt routine, a break interrupt can
be generated continuously.
CAUTION
A break address should be placed at the address of the instruction opcode.
When software does not change the break address and clears the BRKA
bit in the first break interrupt routine, the next break interrupt will not be
generated after exiting the interrupt routine even when the internal address
bus matches the value written in the break address registers.
16.2.1.1 Flag Protection During Break Interrupts
The system integration module (SIM) controls whether or not module status bits can be cleared during
the break state. The BCFE bit in the break flag control register (BFCR) enables software to clear status
bits during the break state. See 13.8.2 Break Flag Control Register and the Break Interrupts subsection
for each module.
16.2.1.2 TIM During Break Interrupts
A break interrupt stops the timer counter and inhibits input captures.
16.2.1.3 COP During Break Interrupts
The COP is disabled during a break interrupt with monitor mode when BDCOP bit is set in break auxiliary
register (BRKAR).

16.2.3 Low-Power Modes
The WAIT and STOP instructions put the MCU in low power-consumption standby modes. If enabled, the
break module will remain enabled in wait and stop modes. However, since the internal address bus does
not increment in these modes, a break interrupt will never be triggered.
16.3 Monitor Module (MON)
The monitor module allows debugging and programming of the microcontroller unit (MCU) through a
single-wire interface with a host computer. Monitor mode entry can be achieved without use of the higher
test voltage, VTST, as long as vector addresses $FFFE and $FFFF are blank, thus reducing the hardware
requirements for in-circuit programming.
Features include:
• Normal user-mode pin functionality
• One pin dedicated to serial communication between MCU and host computer
• Standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) communication with host computer

16.3.1 Functional Description
Figure 16-9 shows a simplified diagram of monitor mode entry.
The monitor module receives and executes commands from a host computer. Figure 16-10, Figure 16-11,
and Figure 16-12 show example circuits used to enter monitor mode and communicate with a host
computer via a standard RS-232 interface.
Simple monitor commands can access any memory address. In monitor mode, the MCU can execute
code downloaded into RAM by a host computer while most MCU pins retain normal operating mode
functions. All communication between the host computer and the MCU is through the PTA0 pin. A
level-shifting and multiplexing interface is required between PTA0 and the host computer. PTA0 is used
in a wired-OR configuration and requires a pullup resistor.
The monitor code has been updated from previous versions of the monitor code to allow enabling the
internal oscillator to generate the internal clock. This addition, which is enabled when IRQ is held low out
of reset, is intended to support serial communication/programming at 9600 baud in monitor mode by using
the internal oscillator, and the internal oscillator user trim value OSCTRIM (FLASH location $FFC0, if
programmed) to generate the desired internal frequency (3.2 MHz). Since this feature is enabled only
when IRQ is held low out of reset, it cannot be used when the reset vector is programmed (i.e., the value
is not $FFFF) because entry into monitor mode in this case requires VTST on IRQ. The IRQ pin must
remain low during this monitor session in order to maintain communication.
1. No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Freescale’s strategy is to make reading or copying the FLASH difficult for
unauthorized users.

Figure 16-12. Monitor Mode Circuit (Internal Clock, No High Voltage)
Table 16-1 shows the pin conditions for entering monitor mode. As specified in the table, monitor mode
may be entered after a power-on reset (POR) and will allow communication at 9600 baud provided one
of the following sets of conditions is met:
• If $FFFE and $FFFF do not contain $FF (programmed state):
– The external clock is 9.8304 MHz
– IRQ = VTST
• If $FFFE and $FFFF contain $FF (erased state):
– The external clock is 9.8304 MHz
– IRQ = VDD (this can be implemented through the internal IRQ pullup)
• If $FFFE and $FFFF contain $FF (erased state):
IRQ = VSS (internal oscillator is selected, no external clock required)
The rising edge of the internal RST signal latches the monitor mode. Once monitor mode is latched, the
values on PTA1 and PTA4 pins can be changed.
Once out of reset, the MCU waits for the host to send eight security bytes (see 16.3.2 Security). After the
security bytes, the MCU sends a break signal (10 consecutive 0s) to the host, indicating that it is ready to
receive a command.

16.3.1.1 Normal Monitor Mode
RST and OSC1 functions will be active on the PTA3 and PTA5 pins respectively as long as VTST is
applied to the IRQ pin. If the IRQ pin is lowered (no longer VTST) then the chip will still be operating in
monitor mode, but the pin functions will be determined by the settings in the configuration registers (see
Chapter 5 Configuration Register (CONFIG)) when VTST was lowered. With VTST lowered, the BIH and
BIL instructions will read the IRQ pin state only if IRQEN is set in the CONFIG2 register.
If monitor mode was entered with VTST on IRQ, then the COP is disabled as long as VTST is applied to IRQ.
MC68HC908QL4 Data Sheet, Rev. 8
196
Freescale Semiconductor
Monitor Module (MON)
16.3.1.2 Forced Monitor Mode
If entering monitor mode without high voltage on IRQ, then startup port pin requirements and conditions,
(PTA1/PTA4) are not in effect. This is to reduce circuit requirements when performing in-circuit
programming.
NOTE
If the reset vector is blank and monitor mode is entered, the chip will see an
additional reset cycle after the initial power-on reset (POR). Once the reset
vector has been programmed, the traditional method of applying a voltage,
VTST, to IRQ must be used to enter monitor mode.
If monitor mode was entered as a result of the reset vector being blank, the COP is always disabled
regardless of the state of IRQ.
If the voltage applied to the IRQ is less than VTST, the MCU will come out of reset in user mode. Internal
circuitry monitors the reset vector fetches and will assert an internal reset if it detects that the reset vectors
are erased ($FF). When the MCU comes out of reset, it is forced into monitor mode without requiring high
voltage on the IRQ pin. Once out of reset, the monitor code is initially executing with the internal clock at
its default frequency.
If IRQ is held high, all pins will default to regular input port functions except for PTA0 and PTA5 which will
operate as a serial communication port and OSC1 input respectively (refer to Figure 16-11). That will
allow the clock to be driven from an external source through OSC1 pin.
If IRQ is held low, all pins will default to regular input port function except for PTA0 which will operate as
serial communication port. Refer to Figure 16-12.
Regardless of the state of the IRQ pin, it will not function as a port input pin in monitor mode. Bit 2 of the
Port A data register will always read 0. The BIH and BIL instructions will behave as if the IRQ pin is
enabled, regardless of the settings in the configuration register. See Chapter 5 Configuration Register
(CONFIG).
The COP module is disabled in forced monitor mode. Any reset other than a power-on reset (POR) will
automatically force the MCU to come back to the forced monitor mode.
16.3.1.3 Monitor Vectors
In monitor mode, the MCU uses different vectors for reset, SWI (software interrupt), and break interrupt
than those for user mode. The alternate vectors are in the $FE page instead of the $FF page and allow
code execution from the internal monitor firmware instead of user code.
NOTE
Exiting monitor mode after it has been initiated by having a blank reset
vector requires a power-on reset (POR). Pulling RST (when RST pin
available) low will not exit monitor mode in this situation.
Table 16-2 summarizes the differences between user mode and monitor mode regarding vectors.

16.3.1.6 Baud Rate
The monitor communication baud rate is controlled by the frequency of the external or internal oscillator
and the state of the appropriate pins as shown in Table 16-1.
Table 16-1 also lists the bus frequencies to achieve standard baud rates. The effective baud rate is the
bus frequency divided by 256 when using an external oscillator. When using the internal oscillator in
forced monitor mode, the effective baud rate is the bus frequency divided by 335.
16.3.1.7 Commands
The monitor ROM firmware uses these commands:
• READ (read memory)
• WRITE (write memory)
• IREAD (indexed read)
• IWRITE (indexed write)
• READSP (read stack pointer)
• RUN (run user program)
The monitor ROM firmware echoes each received byte back to the PTA0 pin for error checking. An 11-bit
delay at the end of each command allows the host to send a break character to cancel the command. A
delay of two bit times occurs before each echo and before READ, IREAD, or READSP data is returned.
The data returned by a read command appears after the echo of the last byte of the command.
NOTE
Wait one bit time after each echo before sending the next byte.

16.3.2 Security
A security feature discourages unauthorized reading of FLASH locations while in monitor mode. The host
can bypass the security feature at monitor mode entry by sending eight security bytes that match the
bytes at locations $FFF6–$FFFD. Locations $FFF6–$FFFD contain user-defined data.
NOTE
Do not leave locations $FFF6–$FFFD blank. For security reasons, program
locations $FFF6–$FFFD even if they are not used for vectors.
During monitor mode entry, the MCU waits after the power-on reset for the host to send the eight security
bytes on pin PTA0. If the received bytes match those at locations $FFF6–$FFFD, the host bypasses the
security feature and can read all FLASH locations and execute code from FLASH. Security remains
bypassed until a power-on reset occurs. If the reset was not a power-on reset, security remains bypassed
and security code entry is not required. See Figure 16-18.
Upon power-on reset, if the received bytes of the security code do not match the data at locations
$FFF6–$FFFD, the host fails to bypass the security feature. The MCU remains in monitor mode, but
reading a FLASH location returns an invalid value and trying to execute code from FLASH causes an
illegal address reset. After receiving the eight security bytes from the host, the MCU transmits a break
character, signifying that it is ready to receive a command.
NOTE
The MCU does not transmit a break character until after the host sends the
eight security bytes.

To determine whether the security code entered is correct, check to see if bit 6 of RAM address $80 is
set. If it is, then the correct security code has been entered and FLASH can be accessed.
If the security sequence fails, the device should be reset by a power-on reset and brought up in monitor
mode to attempt another entry. After failing the security sequence, the FLASH module can also be mass
erased by executing an erase routine that was downloaded into internal RAM. The mass erase operation
clears the security code locations so that all eight security bytes become $FF (blank).

1. VDD = 4.5 to 5.5 Vdc, VSS = 0 Vdc, TA = TL to TH, unless otherwise noted.
2. Typical values reflect average measurements at midpoint of voltage range, 25•C only.
3. This parameter is characterized and not tested on each device.
4. All functional non-supply pins are internally clamped to VSS and VDD.
5. Input must be current limited to the value specified. To determine the value of the required current-limiting resistor,
calculate resistance values for positive and negative clamp voltages, then use the larger of the two values.
6. Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD range during instantaneous and operating maximum current
conditions. If positive injection current (Vin > VDD) is greater than IDD, the injection current may flow out of VDD and could
result in external power supply going out of regulation. Ensure external VDD load will shunt current greater than maximum
injection current. This will be the greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power. Examples are: if no system clock
is present, or if clock rate is very low (which would reduce overall power consumption).
7. If minimum VDD is not reached before the internal POR reset is released, the LVI will hold the part in reset until minimum
VDD is reached.
8. RPU is measured at VDD = 5.0 V. Pullup resistors only available when PTAPUEx is enabled with KBIPx = 0.
9. RPD is measured at VDD = 5.0 V, Pulldown resistors only available when PTAPUEx is enabled with KBIPx =1.

1. Bus frequency, fOP, is oscillator frequency divided by 4.
2. Deviation values assumes trimming @25•C and midpoint of voltage range, for example 5.0 V for 5 V ± 10%,
3.3 V for 3.3 V ± 10%.
3. Values are based on characterization results, not tested in production.
4. No more than 10% duty cycle deviation from 50%.
5. When external oscillator clock is greater than 1MHz, ECFS1:ECFS0 must be 00 or 01
6. Use fundamental mode only, do not use overtone crystals or overtone ceramic resonators
7. Due to variations in electrical properties of external components such as, ESR and Load Capacitance, operation above
16 MHz is not guaranteed for all crystals or ceramic resonators. Operation above 16 MHz requires that a Negative
Resistance Margin (NRM) characterization and component optimization be performed by the crystal or ceramic resonator
vendor for every different type of crystal or ceramic resonator which will be used. This characterization and optimization
must be performed at the extremes of voltage and temperature which will be applied to the microcontroller in the
application. The NRM must meet or exceed 10x the maximum ESR of the crystal or ceramic resonator for acceptable
performance.
8. Do not use damping resistor when ECFS1:ECFS0 = 00, 10 or 11
9. Consult crystal vendor data sheet.

1. Values are based on characterization results, not tested in production.
2. fRead is defined as the frequency range for which the FLASH memory can be read.
3. tRCV is defined as the time it needs before the FLASH can be read after turning off the high voltage charge pump, by
clearing HVEN to 0.
4. tHV is defined as the cumulative high voltage programming time to the same row before next erase.
tHV must satisfy this condition: tNVS + tNVH + tPGS + (tPROG x 32) ≤ tHV maximum.
5. Typical endurance was evaluated for this product family. For additional information on how Freescale Semiconductor
defines Typical Endurance, please refer to Engineering Bulletin EB619.
6. Typical data retention values are based on intrinsic capability of the technology measured at high temperature and de-rated
to 25•C using the Arrhenius equation. For additional information on how Freescale Semiconductor defines Typical Data
Retention, please refer to Engineering Bulletin EB618.
