General Description
The devices are Flash Memory type 8-bit high performance RISC architecture microcontrollers.
Offering users the convenience of Flash Memory multi-programming features, these devices also
include a wide range of functions and features. Other memory includes an area of RAM Data
Memory as well as an area of EEPROM memory for storage of non-volatile data such as serial
numbers, calibration data etc.
Analog features include a multi-channel 12-bit A/D converter function. Extremely flexible Timer
Modules provide timing, pulse generation and PWM generation functions. Protective features such
as an internal Watchdog Timer, Low Voltage Reset and Low Voltage Detector coupled with excellent
noise immunity and ESD protection ensure that reliable operation is maintained in hostile electrical
environments.
A full choice of HXT, LXT, HIRC and LIRC oscillator functions are provided including a fully
integrated system oscillator which requires no external components for its implementation. The
ability to operate and switch dynamically between a range of operating modes using different
clock sources gives users the ability to optimise microcontroller operation and minimize power
consumption.
The inclusion of flexible I/O programming features, Time-Base functions along with many other
features ensure that the devices will find excellent use in applications such as electronic metering,
environmental monitoring, handheld instruments, household appliances, electronically controlled
tools, motor driving in addition to many others.

HT66F0172/HT66F0174
Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
System Architecture
A key factor in the high-performance features of the Holtek range of microcontrollers is attributed
to their internal system architecture. The device takes advantage of the usual features found within
RISC microcontrollers providing increased speed of operation and Periodic performance. The
pipelining scheme is implemented in such a way that instruction fetching and instruction execution
are overlapped, hence instructions are effectively executed in one cycle, with the exception of branch
or call instructions. An 8-bit wide ALU is used in practically all instruction set operations, which
carries out arithmetic operations, logic operations, rotation, increment, decrement, branch decisions,
etc. The internal data path is simplified by moving data through the Accumulator and the ALU.
Certain internal registers are implemented in the Data Memory and can be directly or indirectly
addressed. The simple addressing methods of these registers along with additional architectural
features ensure that a minimum of external components is required to provide a functional I/O and
A/D control system with maximum reliability and flexibility. This makes the device suitable for lowcost, high-volume production for controller applications.
Clocking and Pipelining
The main system clock, derived from HXT, LXT, HIRC or LIRC oscillator is subdivided into four
internally generated non-overlapping clocks, T1~T4. The Program Counter is incremented at the
beginning of the T1 clock during which time a new instruction is fetched. The remaining T2~T4
clocks carry out the decoding and execution functions. In this way, one T1~T4 clock cycle forms
one instruction cycle. Although the fetching and execution of instructions takes place in consecutive
instruction cycles, the pipelining structure of the microcontroller ensures that instructions are
effectively executed in one instruction cycle. The exception to this are instructions where the
contents of the Program Counter are changed, such as subroutine calls or jumps, in which case the
instruction will take one more instruction cycle to execute.

HT66F0172/HT66F0174
Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
For instructions involving branches, such as jump or call instructions, two machine cycles are
required to complete instruction execution. An extra cycle is required as the program takes one
cycle to first obtain the actual jump or call address and then another cycle to actually execute the
branch. The requirement for this extra cycle should be taken into account by programmers in timing
sensitive applications.
  

    

 ­ € Instruction Fetching
Program Counter
During program execution, the Program Counter is used to keep track of the address of the
next instruction to be executed. It is automatically incremented by one each time an instruction
is executed except for instructions, such as "JMP" or "CALL" that demand a jump to a nonconsecutive Program Memory address. Only the lower 8 bits, known as the Program Counter Low
Register, are directly addressable by the application program.
When executing instructions requiring jumps to non-consecutive addresses such as a jump
instruction, a subroutine call, interrupt or reset, etc., the microcontroller manages program control
by loading the required address into the Program Counter. For conditional skip instructions, once
the condition has been met, the next instruction, which has already been fetched during the present
instruction execution, is discarded and a dummy cycle takes its place while the correct instruction is
obtained.
Program Counter
Program Counter High Byte
PCL Register
PC10~PC8
PCL7~PCL0
The lower byte of the Program Counter, known as the Program Counter Low register or PCL, is
available for program control and is a readable and writeable register. By transferring data directly
into this register, a short program jump can be executed directly, however, as only this low byte
is available for manipulation, the jumps are limited to the present page of memory, that is 256
locations. When such program jumps are executed it should also be noted that a dummy cycle
will be inserted. Manipulating the PCL register may cause program branching, so an extra cycle is
needed to pre-fetch.

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

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

Flash Program Memory
The Program Memory is the location where the user code or program is stored. For this device the
Program Memory is Flash type, which means it can be programmed and re-programmed a large
number of times, allowing the user the convenience of code modification on the same device.
By using the appropriate programming tools, this Flash device offers users the flexibility to
conveniently debug and develop their applications while also offering a means of field programming
and updating.
Structure
The Program Memory has a capacity of 2K×16 bits. The Program Memory is addressed by the
Program Counter and also contains data, table information and interrupts entries. Table data, which
can be setup in any location within the Program Memory, is addressed by a separate table pointer
register.

Program Memory Structure
Special Vectors
Within the Program Memory, certain locations are reserved for the reset and interrupts. The location
000H is reserved for use by the device reset for program initialisation. After a device reset is
initiated, the program will jump to this location and begin execution.
Look-up Table
Any location within the Program Memory can be defined as a look-up table where programmers can
store fixed data. To use the look-up table, the table pointer must first be setup by placing the address
of the look up data to be retrieved in the table pointer register, TBLP and TBHP. These registers
define the total address of the look-up table.
After setting up the table pointer, the table data can be retrieved from the Program Memory using
the "TABRD[m]" or "TABRDL[m]" instructions, respectively. When the instruction is executed,
the lower order table byte from the Program Memory will be transferred to the user defined
Data Memory register [m] as specified in the instruction. The higher order table data byte from
the Program Memory will be transferred to the TBLH special register. Any unused bits in this
transferred higher order byte will be read as "0".
The accompanying diagram illustrates the addressing data flow of the look-up table.

Table Program Example
The following example shows how the table pointer and table data is defined and retrieved from the
microcontroller. This example uses raw table data located in the Program Memory which is stored
there using the ORG statement. The value at this ORG statement is "700H" which refers to the start
address of the last page within the 2K words Program Memory of the device. The table pointer is setup
here to have an initial value of "06H". This will ensure that the first data read from the data table will
be at the Program Memory address "706H" or 6 locations after the start of the last page. Note that the
value for the table pointer is referenced to the first address of the present page if the "TABRD [m]"
instruction is being used. The high byte of the table data which in this case is equal to zero will be
transferred to the TBLH register automatically when the "TABRD [m]" instruction is executed.
Because the TBLH register is a read-only register and cannot be restored, care should be taken
to ensure its protection if both the main routine and Interrupt Service Routine use table read
instructions. If using the table read instructions, the Interrupt Service Routines may change the
value of the TBLH and subsequently cause errors if used again by the main routine. As a rule it is
recommended that simultaneous use of the table read instructions should be avoided. However, in
situations where simultaneous use cannot be avoided, the interrupts should be disabled prior to the
execution of any main routine table-read instructions. Note that all table related instructions require
two instruction cycles to complete their operation.

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

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

the OCDSDA and OCDSCK pins to the Holtek HT-IDE development tools. The OCDSDA pin is
the OCDS Data/Address input/output pin while the OCDSCK pin is the OCDS clock input pin.
When users use the EV chip for debugging, other functions which are shared with the OCDSDA
and OCDSCK pins in the actual MCU device will have no effect in the EV chip. However, the two
OCDS pins which are pin-shared with the ICP programming pins are still used as the Flash Memory
programming pins for ICP. For a more detailed OCDS description, refer to the corresponding
document named "Holtek e-Link for 8-bit MCU OCDS User’s Guide".

RAM Data Memory
The Data Memory is a volatile area of 8-bit wide RAM internal memory and is the location where
temporary information is stored. The RAM Data Memory capacity is 128 × 8 bits.
Structure
Divided into two sections, the first of these is an area of RAM, known as the Special Function Data
Memory. Here are located registers which are necessary for correct operation of the device. Many
of these registers can be read from and written to directly under program control, however, some
remain protected from user manipulation. The second area of Data Memory is known as the General
Purpose Data Memory, which is reserved for general purpose use. All locations within this area are
read and write accessible under program control.

Data Memory Structure
The overall Data Memory is subdivided into two banks. The Special Purpose Data Memory registers are
accessible in all banks, with the exception of the EEC register at address 40H, which is only accessible
in Bank 1. Switching between the different Data Memory banks is achieved by setting the Bank Pointer
to the correct value. The start address of the Data Memory for the device is the address 00H.

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

adres1 db ?

loop:
clr IAR0 ; clear the data at address defined by mp0
inc mp0; increment memory pointer

The important point to note here is that in the example shown above, no reference is made to specific
Data Memory addresses.

Bank Pointer – BP
For this device, the Data Memory is divided into two banks, Bank0 and Bank1. Selecting the
required Data Memory area is achieved using the Bank Pointer. Bit 0 of the Bank Pointer is used to
select Data Memory Banks 0~1.
The Data Memory is initialised to Bank 0 after a reset, except for a WDT time-out reset in the Power
Down Mode, in which case, the Data Memory bank remains unaffected. It should be noted that the
Special Function Data Memory is not affected by the bank selection, which means that the Special
Function Registers can be accessed from within any bank. Directly addressing the Data Memory
will always result in Bank 0 being accessed irrespective of the value of the Bank Pointer. Accessing
data from Bank1 must be implemented using Indirect Addressing.

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

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

EEPROM Data Memory (only for HT66F0174)
One of the special features in the device is its internal EEPROM Data Memory. EEPROM, which
stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory, is by its nature a non-volatile
form of memory, with data retention even when its power supply is removed. By incorporating
this kind of data memory, a whole new host of application possibilities are made available to the
designer. The availability of EEPROM storage allows information such as product identification
numbers, calibration values, specific user data, system setup data or other product information to
be stored directly within the product microcontroller. The process of reading and writing data to the
EEPROM memory has been reduced to a very trivial affair.
EEPROM Data Memory Structure
The EEPROM Data Memory capacity is 64×8 bits. Unlike the Program Memory and RAM Data
Memory, the EEPROM Data Memory is not directly mapped into memory space and is therefore
not directly accessible in the same way as the other types of memory. Instead it has to be accessed
indirectly through the EEPROM control registers.
EEPROM Registers
Three registers control the overall operation of the internal EEPROM Data Memory. These are the
address register, EEA, the data register, EED and a single control register, EEC. As both the EEA
and EED registers are located in Bank 0, they can be directly accessed in the same way as any other
Special Function Register. The EEC register however, being located in Bank1, cannot be directly
addressed directly and can only be read from or written to indirectly using the MP1 Memory Pointer
and Indirect Addressing Register, IAR1. Because the EEC control register is located at address 40H
in Bank 1, the MP1 Memory Pointer must first be set to the value 40H and the Bank Pointer register,
BP, set to the value, 01H, before any operations on the EEC register are executed.

Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
Reading Data from the EEPROM
To read data from the EEPROM, the read enable bit, RDEN, in the EEC register must first be set
high to enable the read function. The EEPROM address of the data to be read must then be placed
in the EEA register. If the RD bit in the EEC register is now set high, a read cycle will be initiated.
Setting the RD bit high will not initiate a read operation if the RDEN bit has not been set. When
the read cycle terminates, the RD bit will be automatically cleared to zero, after which the data can
be read from the EED register. The data will remain in the EED register until another read or write
operation is executed. The application program can poll the RD bit to determine when the data is
valid for reading.
Writing Data to the EEPROM
The EEPROM address of the data to be written must first be placed in the EEA register and the data
placed in the EED register. To write data to the EEPROM, the write enable bit, WREN, in the EEC
register must first be set high to enable the write function. After this, the WR bit in the EEC register
must be immediately set high to initiate a write cycle. These two instructions must be executed
consecutively. The global interrupt bit EMI should also first be cleared before implementing any
write operations, and then set again after the write cycle has started. Note that setting the WR bit
high will not initiate a write cycle if the WREN bit has not been set. As the EEPROM write cycle is
controlled using an internal timer whose operation is asynchronous to microcontroller system clock,
a certain time will elapse before the data will have been written into the EEPROM. Detecting when
the write cycle has finished can be implemented either by polling the WR bit in the EEC register or
by using the EEPROM interrupt. When the write cycle terminates, the WR bit will be automatically
cleared to zero by the microcontroller, informing the user that the data has been written to the
EEPROM. The application program can therefore poll the WR bit to determine when the write cycle
has ended.
Write Protection
Protection against inadvertent write operation is provided in several ways. After the device is
powered-on the Write Enable bit in the control register will be cleared preventing any write
operations. Also at power-on the Bank Pointer, BP, will be reset to zero, which means that Data
Memory Bank 0 will be selected. As the EEPROM control register is located in Bank 1, this adds a
further measure of protection against spurious write operations. During normal program operation,
ensuring that the Write Enable bit in the control register is cleared will safeguard against incorrect
write operations.
EEPROM Interrupt
The EEPROM write interrupt is generated when an EEPROM write cycle has ended. The EEPROM
interrupt must first be enabled by setting the DEE bit in the relevant interrupt register. However as
the EEPROM is contained within a Multi-function Interrupt, the associated multi-function interrupt
enable bit must also be set. When an EEPROM write cycle ends, the DEF request flag and its
associated multi-function interrupt request flag will both be set. If the global, EEPROM and Multifunction interrupts are enabled and the stack is not full, a jump to the associated Multi-function
Interrupt vector will take place. When the interrupt is serviced only the Multi-function interrupt flag
will be automatically reset, the EEPROM interrupt flag must be manually reset by the application
program.

HT66F0172/HT66F0174
Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
Programming Considerations
Care must be taken that data is not inadvertently written to the EEPROM. Protection can be Periodic
by ensuring that the Write Enable bit is normally cleared to zero when not writing. Also the Bank
Pointer could be normally cleared to zero as this would inhibit access to Bank 1 where the EEPROM
control register exist. Although certainly not necessary, consideration might be given in the
application program to the checking of the validity of new write data by a simple read back process.
When writing data the WR bit must be set high immediately after the WREN bit has been set high,
to ensure the write cycle executes correctly. The global interrupt bit EMI should also be cleared
before a write cycle is executed and then re-enabled after the write cycle starts.

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

System Clock Configurations
There are four methods of generating the system clock, high speed oscillators and low speed
oscillators. The high speed oscillators are the external crystal/ ceramic oscillator and the internal
8MHz RC oscillator. The low speed oscillator is the internal 32kHz (LIRC) oscillator and the
external 32.768kHz crystal oscillator. Note that there isn't the external 32.768kHz crystal oscillator
in HT66F0172. So the low speed oscillator for the HT66F0172 is only the internal 32kHz (LIRC)
oscillator. Selecting whether the low or high speed oscillator is used as the system oscillator is
implemented using the HLCLK bit and CKS2 ~ CKS0 bits in the SMOD register and as the system
clock can be dynamically selected.
The actual source clock used for the high speed and the low speed oscillators is chosen via
configuration options. The frequency of the slow speed or high speed system clock is also
determined using the HLCLK bit and CKS2 ~ CKS0 bits in the SMOD register. Note that two
oscillator selections must be made namely one high speed and one low speed system oscillators. It is
not possible to choose a no-oscillator selection for either the high or low speed oscillator. The OSC1
and OSC2 pins are used to connect the external components for the external crystal.

External Crystal/Ceramic Oscillator – HXT
The External Crystal/ Ceramic System Oscillator is one of the high frequency oscillator choices,
which is selected via configuration option. For most crystal oscillator configurations, the simple
connection of a crystal across OSC1 and OSC2 will create the necessary phase shift and feedback for
oscillation, without requiring external capacitors. However, for some crystal types and frequencies,
to ensure oscillation, it may be necessary to add two small value capacitors, C1 and C2.
Using a ceramic resonator will usually require two small value capacitors, C1 and C2, to be
connected as shown for oscillation to occur. The values of C1 and C2 should be selected in
consultation with the crystal or resonator manufacturer’s specification.

Internal RC Oscillator – HIRC
The internal RC oscillator is a fully integrated system oscillator requiring no external components.
The internal RC oscillator has fixed frequency of 8MHz. Device trimming during the manufacturing
process and the inclusion of internal frequency compensation circuits are used to ensure that
the influence of the power supply voltage, temperature and process variations on the oscillation
frequency are minimised. As a result, at a power supply of either 3V or 5V and at a temperature of
25˚C degrees, the fixed oscillation frequency of 8MHz will have a tolerance within 2%. Note that if
this internal system clock option is selected, as it requires no external pins for its operation, I/O pins
PC0 and PC1 are free for use as normal I/O pins
External 32.768kHz Crystal Oscillator – LXT
The External 32.768kHz Crystal System Oscillator is one of the low frequency oscillator choices,
which is selected via configuration option. This clock source has a fixed frequency of 32.768kHz
and requires a 32.768kHz crystal to be connected between pins XT1 and XT2. The external resistor
and capacitor components connected to the 32.768kHz crystal are necessary to provide oscillation.
For applications where precise frequencies are essential, these components may be required to
provide frequency compensation due to different crystal manufacturing tolerances. During power-up
there is a time delay associated with the LXT oscillator waiting for it to start-up. When the microcontroller enters the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, the system clock is switched off to stop
microcontroller activity and to conserve power. However, in many microcontroller applications
it may be necessary to keep the internal timers operational even when the microcontroller is in
the SLEEP or IDLE Mode. To do this, another clock, independent of the system clock, must be
provided.
However, for some crystals, to ensure oscillation and accurate frequency generation, it is necessary
to add two small value external capacitors, C1 and C2. The exact values of C1 and C2 should be
selected in consultation with the crystal or resonator manufacturer’s specification. The external
parallel feedback resistor, Rp, is required.
Some configuration options determine if the XT1 and XT2 pins are used for the LXT oscillator or as
I/O pins.
• If the LXT oscillator is not used for any clock source, the XT1 and XT2 pins can be used as
normal I/O pins.
• If the LXT oscillator is used for any clock source, the 32.768kHz crystal should be connected to
the XT1 and XT2 pins.

LXT Oscillator Low Power Function
The LXT oscillator can function in one of two modes, the Quick Start Mode and the Low Power
Mode. The mode selection is executed using the LXTLP bit in the TBC register.
LXTLP Bit
LXT Mode
0
Quick Start
1
Low-power
After power on, the LXTLP bit will be automatically cleared to zero ensuring that the LXT oscillator
is in the Quick Start operating mode. In the Quick Start Mode the LXT oscillator will power up
and stabilise quickly. However, after the LXT oscillator has fully powered up it can be placed
into the Low-power mode by setting the LXTLP bit high. The oscillator will continue to run but
with reduced current consumption, as the higher current consumption is only required during the
LXT oscillator start-up. In power sensitive applications, such as battery applications, where power
consumption must be kept to a minimum, it is therefore recommended that the application program
sets the LXTLP bit high about 2 seconds after power-on.
It should be noted that, no matter what condition the LXTLP bit is set to, the LXT oscillator will
always function normally, the only difference is that it will take more time to start up if in the Lowpower mode.
Internal 32kHz Oscillator – LIRC
The Internal 32kHz System Oscillator is a low frequency oscillator choice. It is a fully integrated
RC oscillator with a typical frequency of 32kHz at 5V, requiring no external components for its
implementation. Device trimming during the manufacturing process and the inclusion of internal
frequency compensation circuits are used to ensure that the influence of the power supply voltage,
temperature and process variations on the oscillation frequency are minimised. As a result, at a
power supply of 5V and at a temperature of 25˚C degrees, the fixed oscillation frequency of 32kHz
will have a tolerance within 10%.
Supplementary Clocks
The low speed oscillators, in addition to providing a system clock source are also used to provide a
clock source to other device functions. These are the Watchdog Timer and the Time Base Interrupt.

Operating Modes and System Clocks
Present day applications require that their microcontrollers have high performance but often still
demand that they consume as little power as possible, conflicting requirements that are especially
true in battery powered portable applications. The fast clocks required for high performance will
by their nature increase current consumption and of course vice-versa, lower speed clocks reduce
current consumption. As Holtek has provided this device with both high and low speed clock
sources and the means to switch between them dynamically, the user can optimise the operation of
their microcontroller to achieve the best performance/power ratio.
System Clocks
The device has many different clock sources for both the CPU and peripheral function operation.
By providing the user with a wide range of clock options using configuration options and register
programming, a clock system can be configured to obtain maximum application performance.
The main system clock, can come from either a high frequency, fH, or low frequency, fL, source,
and is selected using the HLCLK bit and CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SMOD register. The high
speed system clock can be sourced from either the HXT or the HIRC oscillator, selected via a
configuration option. The low speed system clock source can be sourced from either the LXT or
the LIRC oscillator, selected via a configuration option. But for HT66F0172, the low speed system
clock source can only be sourced from the LIRC oscillator. The other choice, which is a divided
version of the high speed system oscillator has a range of fH/2~fH/64.
There are two additional internal clocks for the peripheral circuits, the substitute clock, fSUB, and
the Time Base clock, fTBC. Each of these internal clocks is sourced by either the LXT or LIRC
oscillators, selected via configuration options. The fSUB clock is used to provide a substitute clock for
the microcontroller just after a wake-up has occurred to enable faster wake-up times.

System Operation Modes
There are six different modes of operation for the microcontroller, each one with its own
special characteristics and which can be chosen according to the specific performance and
power requirements of the application. There are two modes allowing normal operation of the
microcontroller, the NORMAL Mode and SLOW Mode. The remaining four modes, the SLEEP0,
SLEEP1, IDLE0 and IDLE1 Mode are used when the microcontroller CPU is switched off to
conserve power.

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

system oscillator will be inhibited from driving the CPU but may continue to provide a clock source
to keep some peripheral functions operational such as the Watchdog Timer and TMs. In the IDLE1
Mode, the system oscillator will continue to run, and this system oscillator may be high speed or low
speed system oscillator.

will change to a high level after 128 clock cycles if the LXT oscillator is used and 1~2
clock cycles if the LIRC oscillator is used.

the high speed system oscillator is stable. Therefore this flag will always be read as
"1" by the application program after device power-on. The flag will be low when in
the SLEEP or IDLE0 Mode but after a wake-up has occurred, the flag will change to
a high level after 128 clock cycles if the HXT oscillator is used and after 15~16 clock

Fast Wake-up
To minimise power consumption the device can enter the SLEEP or IDLE0 Mode, where the system
clock source to the device will be stopped. However when the device is woken up again, it can take
a considerable time for the original system oscillator to restart, stabilize and allow normal operation
to resume. To ensure the device is up and running as fast as possible a Fast Wake-up function is
provided, which allows fSUB, namely either the LXT or LIRC oscillator, to act as a temporary clock
to first drive the system until the original system oscillator has stabilised. As the clock source for
the Fast Wake-up function is fSUB, the Fast Wake-up function is only available in the SLEEP1 and
IDLE0 modes. When the device is woken up from the SLEEP0 mode, the Fast Wake-up function has
no effect because the fSUB clock is stopped. The Fast Wake-up enable/disable function is controlled
using the FSTEN bit in the SMOD register.
If the HXT oscillator is selected as the NORMAL Mode system clock, and if the Fast Wake-up
function is enabled, then it will take one to two tSUB clock cycles of the LIRC or LXT oscillator for
the system to wake-up. The system will then initially run under the fSUB clock source until 128 HXT
clock cycles have elapsed, at which point the HTO flag will switch high and the system will switch
over to operating from the HXT oscillator.
If the HIRC oscillators or LIRC oscillator is used as the system oscillator then it will take 15~16
clock cycles of HIRC or 1~2 cycles of the LIRC to wake up the system from the SLEEP or IDLE0
Mode. The Fast Wake-up bit, FSTEN will have no effect in these cases.

Operating Mode Switching
The device can switch between operating modes dynamically allowing the user to select the best
performance/power ratio for the present task in hand. In this way microcontroller operations that
do not require high performance can be executed using slower clocks thus requiring less operating
current and prolonging battery life in portable applications.
In simple terms, Mode Switching between the NORMAL Mode and SLOW Mode is executed using the
HLCLK bit and CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SMOD register while Mode Switching from the NORMAL/
SLOW Modes to the SLEEP/IDLE Modes is executed via the HALT instruction. When a HALT
instruction is executed, whether the device enters the IDLE Mode or the SLEEP Mode is determined by
the condition of the IDLEN bit in the SMOD register and FSYSON in the WDTC register.

Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
When the HLCLK bit switches to a low level, which implies that clock source is switched from the
high speed clock source, fH, to the clock source, fH/2~fH/64 or fL. If the clock is from the fL, the high
speed clock source will stop running to conserve power. When this happens it must be noted that the
fH/16 and fH/64 internal clock sources will also stop running, which may affect the operation of other
internal functions such as the TMs. The accompanying flowchart shows what happens when the
device moves between the various operating modes.
­ €   
­ €    NORMAL Mode to SLOW Mode Switching
When running in the NORMAL Mode, which uses the high speed system oscillator, and therefore
consumes more power, the system clock can switch to run in the SLOW Mode by setting the
HLCLK bit to "0" and setting the CKS2~CKS0 bits to "000" or "001" in the SMOD register. This
will then use the low speed system oscillator which will consume less power. Users may decide to
do this for certain operations which do not require high performance and can subsequently reduce
power consumption.
The SLOW Mode is sourced from the LIRC or the LXT oscillator and therefore requires these
oscillators to be stable before full mode switching occurs. This is monitored using the LTO bit in the
SMOD register.
SLOW Mode to NORMAL Mode Switching
In SLOW Mode the system uses either the LXT or LIRC low speed system oscillator. To switch
back to the NORMAL Mode, where the high speed system oscillator is used, the HLCLK bit should
be set to "1" or HLCLK bit is "0", but CKS2~CKS0 is set to "010", "011", "100", "101", "110" or
"111". As a certain amount of time will be required for the high frequency clock to stabilise, the
status of the HTO bit is checked. The amount of time required for high speed system oscillator
stabilization depends upon which high speed system oscillator type is used.

Standby Current Considerations
As the main reason for entering the SLEEP or IDLE Mode is to keep the current consumption of the
device to as low a value as possible, perhaps only in the order of several micro-amps except in the
IDLE1 Mode, there are other considerations which must also be taken into account by the circuit
designer if the power consumption is to be minimised. Special attention must be made to the I/O pins
on the device. All high-impedance input pins must be connected to either a fixed high or low level as
any floating input pins could create internal oscillations and result in increased current consumption.
This also applies to the device which has different package types, as there may be unbonbed pins.
These must either be setup as outputs or if setup as inputs must have pull-high resistors connected.
Care must also be taken with the loads, which are connected to I/O pins, which are setup as outputs.
These should be placed in a condition in which minimum current is drawn or connected only to
external circuits that do not draw current, such as other CMOS inputs. Also note that additional
standby current will also be required if the configuration options have enabled the LXT or LIRC
oscillator.
In the IDLE1 Mode the system oscillator is on, if the system oscillator is from the high speed system
oscillator, the additional standby current will also be perhaps in the order of several hundred microamps.

Wake-up
After the system enters the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, it can be woken up from one of various sources
listed as follows:
• An external falling edge on Port A
• A system interrupt
• A WDT overflow
If the system is woken up by an external reset, the device will experience a full system reset,
however, if the device is woken up by a WDT overflow, a Watchdog Timer reset will be initiated.
Although both of these wake-up methods will initiate a reset operation, the actual source of the
wake-up can be determined by examining the TO and PDF flags. The PDF flag is cleared by a
system power-up or executing the clear Watchdog Timer instructions and is set when executing the
"HALT" instruction. The TO flag is set if a WDT time-out occurs, and causes a wake-up that only
resets the Program Counter and Stack Pointer, the other flags remain in their original status.
Each pin on Port A can be setup using the PAWU register to permit a negative transition on the pin
to wake-up the system. When a Port A pin wake-up occurs, the program will resume execution at
the instruction following the "HALT" instruction. If the system is woken up by an interrupt, then
two possible situations may occur. The first is where the related interrupt is disabled or the interrupt
is enabled but the stack is full, in which case the program will resume execution at the instruction
following the "HALT" instruction. In this situation, the interrupt which woke-up the device will not
be immediately serviced, but will rather be serviced later when the related interrupt is finally enabled
or when a stack level becomes free. The other situation is where the related interrupt is enabled and
the stack is not full, in which case the regular interrupt response takes place. If an interrupt request
flag is set high before entering the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, the wake-up function of the related
interrupt will be disabled.
Programming Considerations
The high speed and low speed oscillators both use the same SST counter. For example, if the system
is woken up from the SLEEP0 Mode and both the HIRC and LXT oscillators need to start-up from
an off state. The LXT oscillator uses the SST counter after HIRC oscillator has finished its SST
period.
• If the device is woken up from the SLEEP0 Mode to the NORMAL Mode, the high speed system
oscillator needs an SST period. The device will execute first instruction after HTO is "1". At this
time, the LXT oscillator may not be stability if fSUB is from LXT oscillator. The same situation
occurs in the power-on state. The LXT oscillator is not ready yet when the first instruction is
executed.
• If the device is woken up from the SLEEP1 Mode to NORMAL Mode, and the system clock
source is from HXT oscillator and FSTEN is "1", the system clock can be switched to the LIRC
oscillator after wake up.
• There are peripheral functions for which the fSYS is used. If the system clock source is switched
from fH to fL, the clock source to the peripheral functions mentioned above will change accordingly.
• The on/off condition of fS depends upon whether the WDT is enabled or disabled as the WDT
clock source is selected from fS.

Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is provided to prevent program malfunctions or sequences from jumping to
unknown locations, due to certain uncontrollable external events such as electrical noise.
Watchdog Timer Clock Source
The Watchdog Timer clock source is provided by the internal fs clock which is sourced from LXT
or LIRC oscillator chosen via a configuration option. The Watchdog Timer source clock is then
subdivided by a ratio of 28 to 218 to give longer timeouts, the actual value being chosen using the
WS2~WS0 bits in the WDTC register. The LXT oscillator is supplied by an external 32.768kHz
crystal. The LIRC internal oscillator has an approximate period of 32kHz at a supply voltage of 5V.
However, it should be noted that this specified internal clock period can vary with VDD, temperature
and process variations.
Note that the Watchdog Timer function is controlled by application program and is allowed to enable
or disable WDT by application program.
Watchdog Timer Control Register
A single register, WDTC, controls the required timeout period as well as the enable or disable
operation. This register controls the overall operation of the Watchdog Timer.

Watchdog Timer Operation
The Watchdog Timer operates by providing a device reset when its timer overflows. This means
that in the application program and during normal operation the user has to strategically clear the
Watchdog Timer before it overflows to prevent the Watchdog Timer from executing a reset. This is
done using the clear watchdog instructions. If the program malfunctions for whatever reason, jumps
to an unknown location, or enters an endless loop, the clear WDT instruction will not be executed
in the correct manner, in which case the Watchdog Timer will overflow and reset the device. With
regard to the Watchdog Timer enable/disable function, there are five bits, WE4~WE0, in the WDTC
register to offer additional enable or disable and reset control of the Watchdog Timer. The WDT
function will be disabled when the WE4~WE0 bits are set to a value of 10101B. The WDT function
will be enabled if the WE4~WE0 bits value is equal to 01010B. If the WE4~WE0 bits are set to any
other values by the environmental noise, except 01010B and 10101B, it will reset the device after 2~3
LIRC clock cycles. After power on these bits will have the value of 01010B.

Watchdog Timer Enable/Disable Control
Under normal program operation, a Watchdog Timer time-out will initialise a device reset and set
the status bit TO. However, if the system is in the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, when a Watchdog Timer
time-out occurs, the TO bit in the status register will be set and only the Program Counter and Stack
Pointer will be reset. Several methods can be adopted to clear the contents of the Watchdog Timer.
The first is a WDT software reset, which means a certain value is written into the WE4~WE0 bit
field except 01010B and 10101B, the second is using the Watchdog Timer software clear instruction
and the third is via a HALT instruction.
There is only one method of using software instruction to clear the Watchdog Timer. That is to use
the single "CLR WDT" instruction to clear the WDT.

The maximum time-out period is when the 218 division ratio is selected. As an example, with a 32 kHz
LIRC oscillator as its source clock, this will give a maximum watchdog period of around 8 seconds for
the 218 division ratio, and a minimum timeout of 7.8ms for the 28 division ration.

Reset and Initialisation
A reset function is a fundamental part of any microcontroller ensuring that the device can be set
to some predetermined condition irrespective of outside parameters. The most important reset
condition is after power is first applied to the microcontroller. In this case, internal circuitry will
ensure that the microcontroller, after a short delay, will be in a well defined state and ready to
execute the first program instruction. After this power-on reset, certain important internal registers
will be set to defined states before the program commences. One of these registers is the Program
Counter, which will be reset to zero forcing the microcontroller to begin program execution from the
lowest Program Memory address.
Another type of reset is when the Watchdog Timer overflows and resets the microcontroller. All
types of reset operations result in different register conditions being setup. Another reset exists in the
form of a Low Voltage Reset, LVR, where a full reset is implemented in situations where the power
supply voltage falls below a certain threshold.
Reset Functions
There are more than one way in which the microcontroller can be reset, each of which will be
described as follows.
Power-on Reset
The most fundamental and unavoidable reset is the one that occurs after power is first applied to
the microcontroller. As well as ensuring that the Program Memory begins execution from the first
memory address, a power-on reset also ensures that certain other registers are preset to known
conditions. All the I/O port and port control registers will power up in a high condition ensuring that
all pins will be first set to inputs.

Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
Low Voltage Reset – LVR
The microcontroller contains a low voltage reset circuit in order to monitor the supply voltage of the
device. The LVR function is always enabled with a specific LVR voltage, VLVR. If the supply voltage
of the device drops to within a range of 0.9V~VLVR such as might occur when changing the battery,
the LVR will automatically reset the device internally and the LVRF bit in the CTRL register will
also be set to 1. For a valid LVR signal, a low voltage, i.e., a voltage in the range between 0.9V~
VLVR must exist for greater than the value tLVR specified in the LVD&LVR characteristics. If the low
voltage state does not exceed this value, the LVR will ignore the low supply voltage and will not
perform a reset function.
The actual V LVR value can be selected by the LVS7~LVS0 bits in the LVRC register. If the
LVS7~LVS0 bits are changed to some certain values by the environmental noise or software setting,
the LVR will reset the device after 2~3 LIRC clock cycles. When this happens, the LRF bit in the
CTRL register will be set to 1. After power on the register will have the value of 01010101B. Note
that the LVR function will be automatically disabled when the device enters the power down mode.

Any other value: generates MCU reset – register is reset to POR value
When an actual low voltage condition occurs, as specified by one of the four defined
LVR voltage values above, an MCU reset will be generated. The reset operation will be
activated after 2~3 LIRC clock cycles. In this situation the register contents will remain the
same after such a reset occurs.
Any register value, other than the four defined LVR values above, will also result in
the generation of an MCU reset. The reset operation will be activated after 2~3 LIRC
clock cycles. However in this situation the register contents will be reset to the POR
value.

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

Pull-high Resistors
Many product applications require pull-high resistors for their switch inputs usually requiring the
use of an external resistor. To eliminate the need for these external resistors, all I/O pins, when
configured as an input have the capability of being connected to an internal pull-high resistor. These
pull-high resistors are selected using registers PAPU~PCPU, and are implemented using weak
PMOS transistors.

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

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

The accompanying diagrams illustrate the internal structures of some generic I/O pin types. As
the exact logical construction of the I/O pin will differ from these drawings, they are supplied as a
guide only to assist with the functional understanding of the I/O pins. The wide range of pin-shared

Programming Considerations
Within the user program, one of the first things to consider is port initialisation. After a reset, all of
the I/O data and port control registers will be set high. This means that all I/O pins will default to
an input state, the level of which depends on the other connected circuitry and whether pull-high
selections have been chosen. If the port control registers, PAC~PCC, are then programmed to setup
some pins as outputs, these output pins will have an initial high output value unless the associated
port data registers, PA~PC, are first programmed. Selecting which pins are inputs and which are
outputs can be achieved byte-wide by loading the correct values into the appropriate port control
register or by programming individual bits in the port control register using the "SET [m].i" and
"CLR [m].i" instructions. Note that when using these bit control instructions, a read-modify-write
operation takes place. The microcontroller must first read in the data on the entire port, modify it to
the required new bit values and then rewrite this data back to the output ports.
The power-on reset condition of the A/D converter control registers ensures that any A/D input pins
- which are always shared with other I/O functions - will be setup as analog inputs after a reset.
Although these pins will be configured as A/D inputs after a reset, the A/D converter will not be
switched on. It is therefore important to note that if it is required to use these pins as I/O digital
input pins or as other functions, the A/D converter control registers must be correctly programmed
to remove the A/D function. Note also that as the A/D channel is enabled, any internal pull-high
resistor connections will be removed.
Port A has the additional capability of providing wake-up functions. When the device is in the
SLEEP or IDLE Mode, various methods are available to wake the device up. One of these is a high
to low transition of any of the Port A pins. Single or multiple pins on Port A can be setup to have this
function.

Timer Modules – TM
One of the most fundamental functions in any microcontroller device is the ability to control and
measure time. To implement time related functions the device includes several Timer Modules,
abbreviated to the name TM. The TMs are multi-purpose timing units and serve to provide
operations such as Timer/Counter, Input Capture, Compare Match Output and Single Pulse Output
as well as being the functional unit for the generation of PWM signals. Each of the TMs has two
individual interrupts. The addition of input and output pins for each TM ensures that users are
provided with timing units with a wide and flexible range of features.
The common features of the TM type are described here with more detailed information provided in
the individual Periodic Type TM section.
Introduction
The device contains two TMs having a reference name of TM0 and TM1. Both of them are Periodic
Type TM. The main features are summarised in the accompanying table.

TM Operation
The type of TMs offers a diverse range of functions, from simple timing operations to PWM signal
generation. The key to understanding how the TM operates is to see it in terms of a free running
counter whose value is then compared with the value of pre-programmed internal comparators.
When the free running counter has the same value as the pre-programmed comparator, known as a
compare match situation, a TM interrupt signal will be generated which can clear the counter and
perhaps also change the condition of the TM output pin. The internal TM counter is driven by a user
selectable clock source, which can be an internal clock or an external pin.
TM Clock Source
The clock source which drives the main counter in each TM can originate from various sources.
The selection of the required clock source is implemented using the TnCK2~TnCK0 bits in the TM
control registers. The clock source can be a ratio of either the system clock fSYS or the internal high
clock fH, the fTBC clock source or the external TCKn pin. The TCKn pin clock source is used to allow
an external signal to drive the TM as an external clock source or for event counting.

HT66F0172/HT66F0174
Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
TM Interrupts
The type of TMs has two internal interrupts, the internal comparator A or comparator P, which
generate a TM interrupt when a compare match condition occurs. When a TM interrupt is generated,
it can be used to clear the counter and also to change the state of the TM output pin. TM External Pins
Each of the TMs has one TM input pin, with the label TCKn. The TM input pin, is essentially a
clock source for the TM and is selected using the TnCK2~TnCK0 bits in the TMnC0 register. This
external TM input pin allows an external clock source to drive the internal TM. This external TM
input pin is shared with other functions but will be connected to the internal TM if selected using the
TnCK2~TnCK0 bits. The TM input pin can be chosen to have either a rising or falling active edge.
The TMs each have an output pin. When the TM is in the Compare Match Output Mode, the pin
can be controlled by the TM to switch to a high or low level or to toggle when a compare match
situation occurs. The external TPn output pin is also the pin where the TM generates the PWM
output waveform. As the TM output pins are pin-shared with other function, the TM output function
must first be setup using registers. A single bit in one of the registers determines if its associated pin
is to be used as an external TM output pin or if it is to have another function.
TM Input/Output Pin Control Registers
Selecting to have a TM input/output or whether to retain its other shared functions is implemented
using one register with a single bit in each register corresponding to a TM input/output pin. Setting
the bit high will setup the corresponding pin as a TM input/output if reset to zero the pin will retain
its original other functions.

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

Periodic Type TM – PTM
The Periodic Type TM contains five operating modes, which are Compare Match Output, Timer/
Event Counter, Capture Input, Single Pulse Output and PWM Output modes. The Periodic TM can
also be controlled with an external input pin and can drive one external output pin.
Periodic TM Operation
The size of the two P-type TMs is 10-bit wide. At the core is a 10 count-up counter which is driven
by a user selectable internal or external clock source. There are also two internal comparators with
the names, Comparator A and Comparator P. These comparators will compare the value in the
counter with CCRP and CCRA registers. The CCRP comparator is 10-bit wide.
The only way of changing the value of the 10-bit counter using the application program, is to
clear the counter by changing the TnON bit from low to high. The counter will also be cleared
automatically by a counter overflow or a compare match with one of its associated comparators.
When these conditions occur, a TM interrupt signal will also usually be generated. The P-type Type
TM can operate in a number of different operational modes, can be driven by different clock sources
including an input pin and can also control an output pin. All operating setup conditions are selected
using relevant internal registers.

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

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

These three bits are used to select the clock source for the TM. The external pin clock

the system clock, while fH and fTBC are other internal clocks, the details of which can
be found in the oscillator section.

TnON: TMn Counter On/Off Control

1: On
This bit controls the overall on/off function of the TM. Setting the bit high enables the
counter to run, clearing the bit disables the TM. Clearing this bit to zero will stop the
counter from counting and turn off the TM which will reduce its power consumption.
When the bit changes state from low to high the internal counter value will be reset to
zero, however when the bit changes from high to low, the internal counter will retain
its residual value until the bit returns high again.
If the TM is in the Compare Match Output Mode then the TM output pin will be reset
to its initial condition, as specified by the TM Output control bit, when the bit changes
from low to high.

Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
In the Compare Match Output Mode, the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits determine how the
TM output pin changes state when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A.
The TM output pin can be setup to switch high, switch low or to toggle its present state
when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A. When these bits are both zero,
then no change will take place on the output. The initial value of the TM output pin
should be setup using the TnOC bit. Note that the output level requested by the TnIO1
and TnIO0 bits must be different from the initial value setup using the TnOC bit
otherwise no change will occur on the TM output pin when a compare match occurs.
After the TM output pin changes state it can be reset to its initial level by changing the
level of the TnON bit from low to high.
In the PWM Mode, the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits determine how the TM output pin
changes state when a certain compare match condition occurs. The PWM output
function is modified by changing these two bits. It is necessary to change the values
of the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits only after the TM has been switched off. Unpredictable
PWM outputs will occur if the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are changed when the TM is
running.

Bit 3
TnOC: TPn Output control bit
Compare Match Output Mode
0: initial low
1: initial high
PWM Mode/ Single Pulse Output Mode
0: Active low
1: Active high
This is the output control bit for the TM output pin. Its operation depends upon
whether TM is being used in the Compare Match Output Mode or in the PWM Mode/
Single Pulse Output Mode. It has no effect if the TM is in the Timer/Counter Mode. In
the Compare Match Output Mode it determines the logic level of the TM output pin
before a compare match occurs. In the PWM Mode it determines if the PWM signal is
active high or active low.
Bit 2
TnPOL: TPn Output polarity Control
0: non-invert
1: invert
This bit controls the polarity of the TPn output pin. When the bit is set high the TM
output pin will be inverted and not inverted when the bit is zero. It has no effect if the
TM is in the Timer/Counter Mode.
Bit 1
TnCAPTS: TMn capture trigger source select
0: From TPn pin
1: From TCKn pin
Bit 0
TnCCLR: Select TMn Counter clear condition
0: TMn Comparator P match
1: TMn Comparator A match
This bit is used to select the method which clears the counter. Remember that the
Periodic TM contains two comparators, Comparator A and Comparator P, either of
which can be selected to clear the internal counter. With the TnCCLR bit set high,
the counter will be cleared when a compare match occurs from the Comparator A.
When the bit is low, the counter will be cleared when a compare match occurs from
the Comparator P or with a counter overflow. A counter overflow clearing method can
only be implemented if the CCRP bits are all cleared to zero. The TnCCLR bit is not
used in the PWM, Single Pulse or Input Capture Mode.

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

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

25%,
If the Duty value defined by the CCRA register is equal to or greater than the Period value, then the
PWM output duty is 100%.

2. A counter clear sets the PWM Period
3. The internal PWM function continues running even when TnIO[1:0] = 00 or 01
4. The TnCCLR bit has no influence on PWM operation
Single Pulse Mode
To select this mode, the required bit pairs, TnM1 and TnM0 should be set to 10 respectively and also
the corresponding TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits should be set to 11 respectively. The Single Pulse Output
Mode, as the name suggests, will generate a single shot pulse on the TM output pin.
The trigger for the pulse output leading edge is a low to high transition of the TnON bit, which can
be implemented using the application program. However in the Single Pulse Mode, the TnON bit
can also be made to automatically change from low to high using the external TCKn pin, which will
in turn initiate the Single Pulse output. When the TnON bit transitions to a high level, the counter
will start running and the pulse leading edge will be generated. The TnON bit should remain high
when the pulse is in its active state. The generated pulse trailing edge will be generated when the
TnON bit is cleared to zero, which can be implemented using the application program or when a
compare match occurs from Comparator A.
However a compare match from Comparator A will also automatically clear the TnON bit and thus
generate the Single Pulse output trailing edge. In this way the CCRA value can be used to control the
pulse width. A compare match from Comparator A will also generate TM interrupts. The counter can
only be reset back to zero when the TnON bit changes from low to high when the counter restarts. In
the Single Pulse Mode CCRP is not used. The TnCCLR bit is also not used.

Capture Input Mode
To select this mode bits TnM1 and TnM0 in the TMnC1 register should be set to 01 respectively.
This mode enables external signals to capture and store the present value of the internal counter
and can therefore be used for applications such as pulse width measurements. The external signal is
supplied on the TPn or TCKn pin, selected by the TnCAPTS bit in the TMnC0 register. The input
pin active edge can be either a rising edge, a falling edge or both rising and falling edges; the active
edge transition type is selected using the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits in the TMnC1 register. The counter is
started when the TnON bit changes from low to high which is initiated using the application program.

HT66F0172/HT66F0174
Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
When the required edge transition appears on the TPn or TCKn pin the present value in the counter
will be latched into the CCRA register and a TM interrupt generated. Irrespective of what events
occur on the TPn or TCKn pin the counter will continue to free run until the TnON bit changes from
high to low. When a CCRP compare match occurs the counter will reset back to zero; in this way
the CCRP value can be used to control the maximum counter value. When a CCRP compare match
occurs from Comparator P, a TM interrupt will also be generated. Counting the number of overflow
interrupt signals from the CCRP can be a useful method in measuring long pulse widths. The TnIO1
and TnIO0 bits can select the active trigger edge on the TPn or TCKn pin to be a rising edge, falling
edge or both edge types. If the TnIO1 and TnIO0 bits are both set high, then no capture operation
will take place irrespective of what happens on the TPn or TCKn pin, however it must be noted that
the counter will continue to run.
As the TPn or TCKn pin is pin shared with other functions, care must be taken if the TMn is in the
Capture Input Mode. This is because if the pin is setup as an output, then any transitions on this pin
may cause an input capture operation to be executed. The TnCCLR, TnOC and TnPOL bits are not
used in this Mode.

Analog to Digital Converter
The need to interface to real world analog signals is a common requirement for many electronic
systems. However, to properly process these signals by a microcontroller, they must first be
converted into digital signals by A/D converters. By integrating the A/D conversion electronic
circuitry into the microcontroller, the need for external components is reduced significantly with the
corresponding follow-on benefits of lower costs and reduced component space requirements.
A/D Overview
This device contains a multi-channel analog to digital converter which can directly interface to
external analog signals, such as that from sensors or other control signals and convert these signals
directly into either a 12-bit digital value.

A/D Converter Register Description
Overall operation of the A/D converter is controlled using five registers. A read only register pair
ADRL/ADRH exists to store the ADC data 12-bit value. The remaining three registers are control
registers which setup the operating and control function of the A/D converter.

A/D Converter Data Registers – ADRL, ADRH
As this device contains an internal 12-bit A/D converter, it requires two data registers to store the
converted value. These are a high byte register, known as ADRH, and a low byte register, known
as ADRL. After the conversion process takes place, these registers can be directly read by the
microcontroller to obtain the digitised conversion value. As only 12 bits of the 16-bit register space
is utilised, the format in which the data is stored is controlled by the ADRFS bit in the ADCR0
register as shown in the accompanying table. D0~D11 are the A/D conversion result data bits. Any
unused bits will be read as zero.

A/D Data Registers
A/D Converter Control Registers – ADCR0, ADCR1, ACERL
To control the function and operation of the A/D converter, three control registers known as ADCR0,
ADCR1 and ACERL are provided. These 8-bit registers define functions such as the selection of
which analog channel is connected to the internal A/D converter, the digitised data format, the A/
D clock source as well as controlling the start function and monitoring the A/D converter end of
conversion status. The ACS2~ACS0 bits in the ADCR0 register define the ADC input channel
number. As the device contains only one actual analog to digital converter hardware circuit, each
of the individual 8 analog inputs must be routed to the converter. It is the function of the ACS4 and
ACS2~ACS0 bits to determine which analog channel input pins or 1.25V is actually connected to
the internal A/D converter.
The ACERL control register contains the ACE7~ACE0 bits which determine which pins are used
as analog inputs for the A/D converter input and which pins are not to be used as the A/D converter
input. Setting the corresponding bit high will select the A/D input function, clearing the bit to zero
will select either the I/O or other pin-shared function. When the pin is selected to be an A/D input,
its original function whether it is an I/O or other pin-shared function will be removed. In addition,
any internal pull-high resistors connected to these pins will be automatically removed if the pin is
selected to be an A/D input.

EOCB: End of A/D conversion flag

Bit 5
ADOFF : ADC module power on/off control bit
0: ADC module power on
1: ADC module power off
This bit controls the power to the A/D internal function. This bit should be cleared
to zero to enable the A/D converter. If the bit is set high then the A/D converter will
be switched off reducing the device power consumption. As the A/D converter will
consume a limited amount of power, even when not executing a conversion, this may
be an important consideration in power sensitive battery powered applications.
Note: 1. it is recommended to set ADOFF=1 before entering IDLE/SLEEP Mode for
saving power.
2. ADOFF=1 will power down the ADC module.

registers. Details are provided in the A/D data register section.

A/D converter each of the eight A/D inputs must be routed to the internal converter
using these bits. If bit ACS4 in the ADCR1 register is set high then the internal 1.25V
will be routed to the A/D Converter.

This bit controls the internal Bandgap circuit on/off function to the A/D converter.
When the bit is set high the bandgap voltage 1.25V can be used by the A/D converter.
If 1.25V is not used by the A/D converter and the LVR/LVD function is disabled then
the bandgap reference circuit will be automatically switched off to conserve power.
When 1.25V is switched on for use by the A/D converter, a time tBG should be allowed
for the bandgap circuit to stabilise before implementing an A/D conversion.

This bit is used to select the reference voltage for the A/D converter. If the bit is high,
then the A/D converter reference voltage is supplied on the external VREF pin. If the
pin is low, then the internal reference is used which is taken from the power supply pin
VDD. When the A/D converter reference voltage is supplied on the external VREF pin
which is pin-shared with other functions, all of the pin-shared functions except VREF
on this pin are disabled.

A/D Operation
The START bit in the ADCR0 register is used to start and reset the A/D converter. When the
microcontroller sets this bit from low to high and then low again, an analog to digital conversion cycle
will be initiated. When the START bit is brought from low to high but not low again, the EOCB bit in
the ADCR0 register will be set high and the analog to digital converter will be reset. It is the START
bit that is used to control the overall start operation of the internal analog to digital converter.
The EOCB bit in the ADCR0 register is used to indicate when the analog to digital conversion process
is complete. This bit will be automatically set to "0" by the microcontroller after a conversion cycle
has ended. In addition, the corresponding A/D interrupt request flag will be set in the interrupt control
register, and if the interrupts are enabled, an appropriate internal interrupt signal will be generated.
This A/D internal interrupt signal will direct the program flow to the associated A/D internal
interrupt address for processing. If the A/D internal interrupt is disabled, the microcontroller can
be used to poll the EOCB bit in the ADCR0 register to check whether it has been cleared as an
alternative method of detecting the end of an A/D conversion cycle.
The clock source for the A/D converter, which originates from the system clock fSYS, can be chosen
to be either fSYS or a subdivided version of fSYS. The division ratio value is determined by the
ADCK2~ADCK0 bits in the ADCR1 register. Although the A/D clock source is determined by the
system clock, fSYS, and by bits ADCK2~ADCK0, there are some limitations on the maximum A/
D clock source speed that can be selected. As the recommended range of permissible A/D clock

period, tADCK, is from 0.5μs to 10μs, care must be taken for selected system clock frequencies.
For example, if the system clock operates at a frequency of 4MHz, the ADCK2~ADCK0 bits should
not be set to 000B or 110B. Doing so will give A/D clock periods that are less than the minimum A/
D clock period or greater than the maximum A/D clock period which may result in inaccurate A/D
conversion values.
Refer to the following table for examples, where values marked with an asterisk * show where,
depending upon the device, special care must be taken, as the values may be less than the specified
minimum A/D Clock Period.

A/D Clock Period Examples
Controlling the power on/off function of the A/D converter circuitry is implemented using the
ADOFF bit in the ADCR0 register. This bit must be zero to power on the A/D converter. When the
ADOFF bit is cleared to zero to power on the A/D converter internal circuitry a certain delay, as
indicated in the timing diagram, must be allowed before an A/D conversion is initiated. Even if no
pins are selected for use as A/D inputs by clearing the ACE7~ACE0 bits in the ACERL registers, if
the ADOFF bit is zero then some power will still be consumed. In power conscious applications it
is therefore recommended that the ADOFF is set high to reduce power consumption when the A/D
converter function is not being used.
The reference voltage supply to the A/D Converter can be supplied from either the positive power
supply pin, AVDD, or from an external reference sources supplied on pin VREF. The desired
selection is made using the VREFS bit. As the VREF pin is pin-shared with other functions, when
the VREFS bit is set high, the VREF pin function will be selected and the other pin functions will be
disabled automatically.
A/D Input Pins
All of the A/D analog input pins are pin-shared with the I/O pins on Port A as well as other
functions. The ACE7~ ACE0 bits in the ACERL registers, determine whether the input pins are setup
as A/D converter analog inputs or whether they have other functions. If the ACE7~ ACE0 bits for its
corresponding pin is set high then the pin will be setup to be an A/D converter input and the original
pin functions disabled. In this way, pins can be changed under program control to change their
function between A/D inputs and other functions. All pull-high resistors, which are setup through
register programming, will be automatically disconnected if the pins are setup as A/D inputs. Note
that it is not necessary to first setup the A/D pin as an input in the PAC or PBC port control registers
to enable the A/D input as when the ACE7~ ACE0 bits enable an A/D input, the status of the port
control register will be overridden.
The A/D converter has its own reference voltage pin, VREF, however the reference voltage can
also be supplied from the power supply pin, a choice which is made through the VREFS bit in the
ADCR1 register. The analog input values must not be allowed to exceed the value of VREF.

Summary of A/D Conversion Steps
The following summarises the individual steps that should be executed in order to implement an A/
D conversion process.
• Step 1
Select the required A/D conversion clock by correctly programming bits ADCK2~ADCK0 in the
ADCR1 register.
• Step 2
Enable the A/D by clearing the ADOFF bit in the ADCR0 register to zero.
• Step 3
Select which channel is to be connected to the internal A/D converter by correctly programming
the ACS4, ACS2~ACS0 bits which are also contained in the ADCR1 and ADCR0 registers.
• Step 4
Select which pins are to be used as A/D inputs and configure them by correctly programming the
ACE7~ACE0 bits in the ACERL register.
• Step 5
If the interrupts are to be used, the interrupt control registers must be correctly configured to
ensure the A/D converter interrupt function is active. The master interrupt control bit, EMI, and
the A/D converter interrupt bit, ADE, must both be set high to do this.
• Step 6
The analog to digital conversion process can now be initialised by setting the START bit in
the ADCR0 register from low to high and then low again. Note that this bit should have been
originally cleared to zero.
• Step 7
To check when the analog to digital conversion process is complete, the EOCB bit in the ADCR0
register can be polled. The conversion process is complete when this bit goes low. When this
occurs the A/D data register ADRL and ADRH can be read to obtain the conversion value. As an
alternative method, if the interrupts are enabled and the stack is not full, the program can wait for
an A/D interrupt to occur.
Note: When checking for the end of the conversion process, if the method of polling the EOCB bit
in the ADCR0 register is used, the interrupt enable step above can be omitted.
The accompanying diagram shows graphically the various stages involved in an analog to digital
conversion process and its associated timing. After an A/D conversion process has been initiated
by the application program, the microcontroller internal hardware will begin to carry out the
conversion, during which time the program can continue with other functions. The time taken for the
A/D conversion is 16tADCK where tADCK is equal to the A/D clock period.

Programming Considerations
During microcontroller operations where the A/D converter is not being used, the A/D internal
circuitry can be switched off to reduce power consumption, by setting bit ADOFF high in the
ADCR0 register. When this happens, the internal A/D converter circuits will not consume power
irrespective of what analog voltage is applied to their input lines. If the A/D converter input lines are
used as normal I/Os, then care must be taken as if the input voltage is not at a valid logic level, then
this may lead to some increase in power consumption.
A/D Transfer Function
As the device contains a 12-bit A/D converter, its full-scale converted digitised value is equal to
FFFH. Since the full-scale analog input value is equal to the VDD voltage, this gives a single bit
analog input value of AVDD or VREF divided by 4096.
1 LSB= (VDD or VREF) / 4096
The A/D Converter input voltage value can be calculated using the following equation:
A/D input voltage = A/D output digital value ×(VDD or VREF) / 4096
The diagram shows the ideal transfer function between the analog input value and the digitised
output value for the A/D converter. Except for the digitised zero value, the subsequent digitised
values will change at a point 0.5 LSB below where they would change without the offset, and the
last full scale digitised value will change at a point 1.5 LSB below the AVDD or VREF level.

A/D Programming Examples
The following two programming examples illustrate how to setup and implement an A/D conversion.
In the first example, the method of polling the EOCB bit in the ADCR0 register is used to detect
when the conversion cycle is complete, whereas in the second example, the A/D interrupt is used to
determine when the conversion is complete.
Example: using an EOCB polling method to detect the end of conversion

mov ACERL, a
mov a, 00h
mov ADCR0, a ; enable and connect AN0 channel to A/D converter

set START ; reset A/D
clr START ; start A/D

Interrupts
Interrupts are an important part of any microcontroller system. When an external event or an
internal function such as a Timer Module or an A/D converter requires microcontroller attention,
their corresponding interrupt will enforce a temporary suspension of the main program allowing the
microcontroller to direct attention to their respective needs. The device contains several external
interrupt and internal interrupts functions. The external interrupt is generated by the action of
the external INT0 and INT1 pins, while the internal interrupts are generated by various internal
functions such as the TMs, Time Base, LVD, EEPROM and the A/D converter.
Interrupt Registers
Overall interrupt control, which basically means the setting of request flags when certain
microcontroller conditions occur and the setting of interrupt enable bits by the application program,
is controlled by a series of registers, located in the Special Purpose Data Memory, as shown in the
accompanying table. The number of registers depends upon the device chosen but fall into three
categories. The first is the INTC0~INTC2 registers which setup the primary interrupts, the second
is the MFI0~MFI2 registers which setup the Multi-function interrupts. Finally there is an INTEG
register to setup the external interrupt trigger edge type.
Each register contains a number of enable bits to enable or disable individual registers as well as
interrupt flags to indicate the presence of an interrupt request. The naming convention of these
follows a specific pattern. First is listed an abbreviated interrupt type, then the (optional) number of
that interrupt followed by either an "E" for enable/disable bit or "F" for request flag.

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

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

Time Base Interrupt
The function of the Time Base Interrupts is to provide regular time signal in the form of an internal
interrupt. They are controlled by the overflow signals from their respective timer functions. When
these happens their respective interrupt request flags, TB0F or TB1F will be set. To allow the
program to branch to their respective interrupt vector addresses, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI
and Time Base enable bits, TB0E or TB1E, must first be set.
When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and the Time Base overflows, a subroutine call
to their respective vector locations will take place. When the interrupt is serviced, the respective
interrupt request flag, TB0F or TB1F, will be automatically reset and the EMI bit will be cleared to
disable other interrupts.
The purpose of the Time Base Interrupt is to provide an interrupt signal at fixed time periods. Their
clock sources originate from the internal clock source fTB. This fTB input clock passes through a
divider, the division ratio of which is selected by programming the appropriate bits in the TBC
register to obtain longer interrupt periods whose value ranges. The clock source that generates fTB,
which in turn controls the Time Base interrupt period, can originate from several different sources,
as shown in the System Operating Mode section.

Time Base Interrupt
Multi-function Interrupt
Within the device there are up to three Multi-function interrupts. Unlike the other independent
interrupts, these interrupts have no independent source, but rather are formed from other existing
interrupt sources, namely the TM Interrupts, LVD interrupt and EEPROM Interrupt. A Multifunction interrupt request will take place when any of the Multi-function interrupt request flags,
MFnF are set. The Multi-function interrupt flags will be set when any of their included functions
generate an interrupt request flag and the corresponding interrupt enable bit must be set. To allow
the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, when the Multi-function interrupt
is enabled and the stack is not full, and either one of the interrupts contained within each of Multifunction interrupt occurs, a subroutine call to one of the Multi-function interrupt vectors will take
place. When the interrupt is serviced, the related Multi-Function request flag, will be automatically
reset and the EMI bit will be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.
However, it must be noted that, although the Multi-function Interrupt flags will be automatically
reset when the interrupt is serviced, the request flags from the original source of the Multifunction interrupts, namely the PTM Interrupts, LVD interrupt and EEPROM Interrupt will not be
automatically reset and must be manually reset by the application program.

A/D Converter Interrupt
The device contains an A/D converter which has its own independent interrupt. The A/D Converter
Interrupt is controlled by the termination of an A/D conversion process. An A/D Converter Interrupt
request will take place when the A/D Converter Interrupt request flag, ADF, is set, which occurs
when the A/D conversion process finishes. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt
vector address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and A/D Interrupt enable bit, ADE, must first be
set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and the A/D conversion process has ended, a
subroutine call to the A/D Converter Interrupt vector, will take place. When the interrupt is serviced,
the A/D Converter Interrupt flag, ADF, will be automatically cleared. The EMI bit will also be
automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.
TM Interrupt
The Periodic Type TMs have two interrupts each. All of the TM interrupts are contained within the
Multi-function Interrupts. For each of the Periodic Type TMs there are two interrupt request flags,
TnPF and TnAF, and two enable bits TnPE and TnAE. A TM interrupt request will take place when
any of the TM request flags is set, a situation which occurs when a TM comparator P or A match
situation happens.
To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable
bit, EMI, respective TM Interrupt enable bit, and relevant Multi-function Interrupt enable bit, MFnE,
must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and a TM comparator match
situation occurs, a subroutine call to the relevant Multi-function Interrupt vector locations, will take
place. When the TM interrupt is serviced, the EMI bit will be automatically cleared to disable other
interrupts, however only the related MFnF flag will be automatically cleared. As the TM interrupt
request flags will not be automatically cleared, they have to be cleared by the application program.
EEPROM Interrupt (Only for HT66F0172)
The EEPROM interrupt is contained within the Multi-function Interrupt. An EEPROM Interrupt
request will take place when the EEPROM Interrupt request flag, DEF, is set, which occurs
when an EEPROM Write cycle ends. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt
vector address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and EEPROM Interrupt enable bit, DEE, and
associated Multi-function interrupt enable bit, must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the
stack is not full and an EEPROM Write cycle ends, a subroutine call to the respective EEPROM
Interrupt vector, will take place. When the EEPROM Interrupt is serviced, the EMI bit will be
automatically cleared to disable other interrupts, however, only the Multi-function interrupt request
flag will be also automatically cleared. As the DEF flag will not be automatically cleared, it has to be
cleared by the application program.
LVD Interrupt
The Low Voltage Detector Interrupt is contained within the Multi-function Interrupt. A LVD
Interrupt request will take place when the LVD Interrupt request flag, LVF, is set, which occurs
when the Low Voltage Detector function detects a low power supply voltage. To allow the program
to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, Low Voltage
Interrupt enable bit, LVE, and associated Multi-function interrupt enable bit, must first be set. When
the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and a low voltage condition occurs, a subroutine call to
the Multi-function Interrupt vector, will take place. When the Low Voltage Interrupt is serviced, the
EMI bit will be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts, however only the Multi-function
interrupt request flag will be also automatically cleared. As the LVF flag will not be automatically
cleared, it has to be cleared by the application program.

Interrupt Wake-up Function
Each of the interrupt functions has the capability of waking up the microcontroller when in the SLEEP
or IDLE Mode. A wake-up is generated when an interrupt request flag changes from low to high and
is independent of whether the interrupt is enabled or not. Therefore, even though the device is in the
SLEEP or IDLE Mode and its system oscillator stopped, situations such as external edge transitions
on the external interrupt pins, a low power supply voltage or comparator input change may cause their
respective interrupt flag to be set high and consequently generate an interrupt. Care must therefore
be taken if spurious wake-up situations are to be avoided. If an interrupt wake-up function is to be
disabled then the corresponding interrupt request flag should be set high before the device enters the
SLEEP or IDLE Mode. The interrupt enable bits have no effect on the interrupt wake-up function.
Programming Considerations
By disabling the relevant interrupt enable bits, a requested interrupt can be prevented from being
serviced, however, once an interrupt request flag is set, it will remain in this condition in the
interrupt register until the corresponding interrupt is serviced or until the request flag is cleared by
the application program.
Where a certain interrupt is contained within a Multi-function interrupt, then when the interrupt
service routine is executed, as only the Multi-function interrupt request flags, MF0F~MF2F, will
be automatically cleared, the individual request flag for the function needs to be cleared by the
application program.
It is recommended that programs do not use the "CALL" instruction within the interrupt service
subroutine. Interrupts often occur in an unpredictable manner or need to be serviced immediately.
If only one stack is left and the interrupt is not well controlled, the original control sequence will be
damaged once a CALL subroutine is executed in the interrupt subroutine.
Every interrupt has the capability of waking up the microcontroller when it is in SLEEP or IDLE
Mode, the wake up being generated when the interrupt request flag changes from low to high. If it is
required to prevent a certain interrupt from waking up the microcontroller then its respective request
flag should be first set high before enter SLEEP or IDLE Mode.
As only the Program Counter is pushed onto the stack, then when the interrupt is serviced, if the
contents of the accumulator, status register or other registers are altered by the interrupt service
program, their contents should be saved to the memory at the beginning of the interrupt service
routine.
To return from an interrupt subroutine, either a RET or RETI instruction may be executed. The RETI
instruction in addition to executing a return to the main program also automatically sets the EMI
bit high to allow further interrupts. The RET instruction however only executes a return to the main
program leaving the EMI bit in its present zero state and therefore disabling the execution of further
interrupts.

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

LVD Operation
The Low Voltage Detector function operates by comparing the power supply voltage, VDD, with a
pre-specified voltage level stored in the LVDC register. This has a range of between 2.0V and 4.0V.
When the power supply voltage, VDD, falls below this pre-determined value, the LVDO bit will be
set high indicating a low power supply voltage condition. The Low Voltage Detector function is
supplied by a reference voltage which will be automatically enabled. When the device is powered
down the low voltage detector will remain active if the LVDEN bit is high. After enabling the Low
Voltage Detector, a time delay tLVDS should be allowed for the circuitry to stabilise before reading the
LVDO bit. Note also that as the VDD voltage may rise and fall rather slowly, at the voltage nears that
of VLVD, there may be multiple bit LVDO transitions.
LVD Operation
The Low Voltage Detector also has its own interrupt which is contained within one of the Multifunction interrupts, providing an alternative means of low voltage detection, in addition to polling
the LVDO bit. The interrupt will only be generated after a delay of tLVD after the LVDO bit has been
set high by a low voltage condition. When the device is powered down the Low Voltage Detector
will remain active if the LVDEN bit is high. In this case, the LVF interrupt request flag will be set,
causing an interrupt to be generated if VDD falls below the preset LVD voltage. This will cause the
device to wake-up from the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, however if the Low Voltage Detector wake up
function is not required then the LVF flag should be first set high before the device enters the SLEEP
or IDLE Mode.

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

HT66F0172/HT66F0174
Enhanced A/D Flash 8-Bit MCU
Logical and Rotate Operation
The standard logical operations such as AND, OR, XOR and CPL all have their own instruction
within the Holtek microcontroller instruction set. As with the case of most instructions involving
data manipulation, data must pass through the Accumulator which may involve additional
programming steps. In all logical data operations, the zero flag may be set if the result of the
operation is zero. Another form of logical data manipulation comes from the rotate instructions such
as RR, RL, RRC and RLC which provide a simple means of rotating one bit right or left. Different
rotate instructions exist depending on program requirements. Rotate instructions are useful for serial
port programming applications where data can be rotated from an internal register into the Carry
bit from where it can be examined and the necessary serial bit set high or low. Another application
which rotate data operations are used is to implement multiplication and division calculations.
Branches and Control Transfer
Program branching takes the form of either jumps to specified locations using the JMP instruction
or to a subroutine using the CALL instruction. They differ in the sense that in the case of a
subroutine call, the program must return to the instruction immediately when the subroutine has
been carried out. This is done by placing a return instruction "RET" in the subroutine which will
cause the program to jump back to the address right after the CALL instruction. In the case of a JMP
instruction, the program simply jumps to the desired location. There is no requirement to jump back
to the original jumping off point as in the case of the CALL instruction. One special and extremely
useful set of branch instructions are the conditional branches. Here a decision is first made regarding
the condition of a certain data memory or individual bits. Depending upon the conditions, the
program will continue with the next instruction or skip over it and jump to the following instruction.
These instructions are the key to decision making and branching within the program perhaps
determined by the condition of certain input switches or by the condition of internal data bits.
Bit Operations
The ability to provide single bit operations on Data Memory is an extremely flexible feature of all
Holtek microcontrollers. This feature is especially useful for output port bit programming where
individual bits or port pins can be directly set high or low using either the "SET [m].i" or "CLR [m].
i" instructions respectively. The feature removes the need for programmers to first read the 8-bit
output port, manipulate the input data to ensure that other bits are not changed and then output the
port with the correct new data. This read-modify-write process is taken care of automatically when
these bit operation instructions are used.
Table Read Operations
Data storage is normally implemented by using registers. However, when working with large
amounts of fixed data, the volume involved often makes it inconvenient to store the fixed data in
the Data Memory. To overcome this problem, Holtek microcontrollers allow an area of Program
Memory to be setup as a table where data can be directly stored. A set of easy to use instructions
provides the means by which this fixed data can be referenced and retrieved from the Program
Memory.
Other Operations
In addition to the above functional instructions, a range of other instructions also exist such as
the "HALT" instruction for Power-down operations and instructions to control the operation of
the Watchdog Timer for reliable program operations under extreme electric or electromagnetic
environments. For their relevant operations, refer to the functional related sections.

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