Preliminary data
Low power, low price, low pin count (20 pin) microcontroller
with 4 kB OTP 8-bit A/D, Pulse Width Modulator
device has a very limited number of pins, the A/D power supply and
references are shared with the processor power pins, VDD and VSS.
The A/D converter operates down to a VDD supply of 3.0V.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Details of 87LPC768 functions will be described in the following
sections.
The A/D converter circuitry consists of a 4-input analog multiplexer
and an 8-bit successive approximation ADC. The A/D employs a
ratiometric potentiometer which guarantees DAC monotonicity.
Enhanced CPU
The 87LPC768 uses an enhanced 80C51 CPU which runs at twice the
speed of standard 80C51 devices. This means that the performance of
the 87LPC768 running at 5 MHz is exactly the same as that of a
standard 80C51 running at 10 MHz. A machine cycle consists of 6
oscillator cycles, and most instructions execute in 6 or 12 clocks. A
user configurable option allows restoring standard 80C51 execution
timing. In that case, a machine cycle becomes 12 oscillator cycles.
The A/D converter is controlled by the special function register
ADCON. Details of ADCON are shown in Figure 2. The A/D must be
enabled by setting the ENADC bit at least 10 microseconds before a
conversion is started, to allow time for the A/D to stabilize. Prior to
the beginning of an A/D conversion, one analog input pin must be
selected for conversion via the AADR1 and AADR0 bits. These bits
cannot be changed while the A/D is performing a conversion.
In the following sections, the term “CPU clock” is used to refer to the
clock that controls internal instruction execution. This may
sometimes be different from the externally applied clock, as in the
case where the part is configured for standard 80C51 timing by
means of the CLKR configuration bit or in the case where the clock
is divided down via the setting of the DIVM register. These features
are described in the Oscillator section.
An A/D conversion is started by setting the ADCS bit, which remains
set while the conversion is in progress. When the conversion is
complete, the ADCS bit is cleared and the ADCI bit is set. When
ADCI is set, it will generate an interrupt if the interrupt system is
enabled, the A/D interrupt is enabled (via the EAD bit in the IE1
register), and the A/D interrupt is the highest priority pending
interrupt.
Analog Functions
The 87LPC768 incorporates analog peripheral functions: an Analog
to Digital Converter and two Analog Comparators. In order to give
the best analog function performance and to minimize power
consumption, pins that are being used for analog functions must
have the digital outputs and inputs disabled.
When a conversion is complete, the result is contained in the
register DAC0. This value will not change until another conversion is
started. Before another A/D conversion may be started, the ADCI bit
must be cleared by software. The A/D channel selection may be
changed by the same instruction that sets ADCS to start a new
conversion, but not by the same instruction that clears ADCI.
Digital outputs are disabled by putting the port output into the Input
Only (high impedance) mode as described in the I/O Ports section.
The connections of the A/D converter are shown in Figure 3.
Digital inputs on port 0 may be disabled through the use of the
PT0AD register. Each bit in this register corresponds to one pin of
Port 0. Setting the corresponding bit in PT0AD disables that pin’s
digital input. Port bits that have their digital inputs disabled will be
read as 0 by any instruction that accesses the port.
The ideal A/D result may be calculated as follows:
256
Result + (V IN–V SS) x
(round result to the nearest integer)
V DD–V SS
Analog to Digital Converter
The 87LPC768 incorporates a four channel, 8-bit A/D converter. The
A/D inputs are alternate functions on four port 0 pins. Because the

with other peripheral functions, in order to obtain the best possible
A/D accuracy. This should not be used if the MCU uses an external
clock source greater than 4 MHz.
A/D Timing
The A/D may be clocked in one of two ways. The default is to use
the CPU clock as the A/D clock source. When used in this manner,
the A/D completes a conversion in 31 machine cycles. The A/D may
be operated up to the maximum CPU clock rate of 20 MHz, giving a
conversion time of 9.3 µs. The formula for calculating A/D
conversion time when the CPU clock runs the A/D is: 186 µs / CPU
clock rate (in MHZ). To obtain accurate A/D conversion results, the
CPU clock must be at least 1 MHz.
When the A/D is operated from the RCCLK while the CPU is running
from another clock source, 3 or 4 machine cycles are used to
synchronize A/D operation. The time can range from a minimum of 3
machine cycles (at the CPU clock rate) + 108 RC clocks to a
maximum of 4 machine cycles (at the CPU clock rate) + 112 RC
clocks.
The A/D may also be clocked by the on-chip RC oscillator, even if
the RC oscillator is not used as the CPU clock. This is accomplished
by setting the RCCLK bit in ADCON. This arrangement has several
advantages. First, the A/D conversion time is faster at lower CPU
clock rates. Also, the CPU may be run at speeds below 1 MHz
without affecting A/D accuracy. Finally, the Power Down mode may
be used to completely shut down the CPU and its oscillator, along
2001 Aug 06
Example A/D conversion times at various CPU clock rates are
shown in Table 2. In Table 2, maximum times for RCCLK = 1 use an
RC clock frequency of 4.5 MHz (6 MHz - 25%). Minimum times for
RCCLK = 1 use an RC clock frequency of 7.5 MHz (6 MHz + 25%).
Nominal time assume an ideal RC clock frequency of 6 MHz and an
average of 3.5 machine cycles at the CPU clock rate.

Figure 3. A/D Converter Connections
When an A/D conversion is started, Power Down or Idle mode must
be activated within two machine cycles in order to have the most
accurate A/D result. These two machine cycles are counted at the
CPU clock rate. When using the A/D with either Power Down or Idle
mode, care must be taken to insure that the CPU is not restarted by
another interrupt until the A/D conversion is complete. The possible
causes of wakeup are different in Power Down and Idle modes.
The A/D in Power Down and Idle Modes
While using the CPU clock as the A/D clock source, the Idle mode
may be used to conserve power and/or to minimize system noise
during the conversion. CPU operation will resume and Idle mode
terminate automatically when a conversion is complete if the A/D
interrupt is active. In Idle mode, noise from the CPU itself is
eliminated, but noise from the oscillator and any other on-chip
peripherals that are running will remain.
A/D accuracy is also affected by noise generated elsewhere in the
application, power supply noise, and power supply regulation. Since
the 87LPC768 power pins are also used as the A/D reference and
supply, the power supply has a very direct affect on the accuracy of
A/D readings. Using the A/D without Power Down mode while the
clock is divided through the use of CLKR or DIVM has an adverse
effect on A/D accuracy.
The CPU may be put into Power Down mode when the A/D is
clocked by the on-chip RC oscillator (RCCLK=1). This mode gives
the best possible A/D accuracy by eliminating most on-chip noise
sources.
If the Power Down mode is entered while the A/D is running from the
CPU clock (RCCLK=0), the A/D will abort operation and will not
wake up the CPU. The contents of DAC0 will be invalid when
operation does resume.

The overall connections to both comparators are shown in Figure 5.
There are eight possible configurations for each comparator, as
determined by the control bits in the corresponding CMPn register:
CPn, CNn, and OEn. These configurations are shown in Figure 6.
The comparators function down to a VDD of 3.0V.
Analog Comparators
Two analog comparators are provided on the 87LPC768. Input and
output options allow use of the comparators in a number of different
configurations. Comparator operation is such that the output is a
logical one (which may be read in a register and/or routed to a pin)
when the positive input (one of two selectable pins) is greater than
the negative input (selectable from a pin or an internal reference
voltage). Otherwise the output is a zero. Each comparator may be
configured to cause an interrupt when the output value changes.
When each comparator is first enabled, the comparator output and
interrupt flag are not guaranteed to be stable for 10 microseconds.
The corresponding comparator interrupt should not be enabled
during that time, and the comparator interrupt flag must be cleared
before the interrupt is enabled in order to prevent an immediate
interrupt service.
Comparator Configuration
Each comparator has a control register, CMP1 for comparator 1 and
CMP2 for comparator 2. The control registers are identical and are
shown in Figure 4.

wake up the processor. If the comparator output to a pin is enabled,
the pin should be configured in the push-pull mode in order to obtain
fast switching times while in power down mode. The reason is that
with the oscillator stopped, the temporary strong pull-up that
normally occurs during switching on a quasi-bidirectional port pin
does not take place.
Internal Reference Voltage
An internal reference voltage generator may supply a default
reference when a single comparator input pin is used. The value of
the internal reference voltage, referred to as Vref, is 1.28 V ±10%.
Comparator Interrupt
Each comparator has an interrupt flag CMFn contained in its
configuration register. This flag is set whenever the comparator
output changes state. The flag may be polled by software or may be
used to generate an interrupt. The interrupt will be generated when
the corresponding enable bit ECn in the IEN1 register is set and the
interrupt system is enabled via the EA bit in the IEN0 register.
Comparators consume power in Power Down and Idle modes, as
well as in the normal operating mode. This fact should be taken into
account when system power consumption is an issue.
Comparator Configuration Example
The code shown in Figure 7 is an example of initializing one
comparator. Comparator 1 is configured to use the CIN1A and
CMPREF inputs, outputs the comparator result to the CMP1 pin,
and generates an interrupt when the comparator output changes.
Comparators and Power Reduction Modes
Either or both comparators may remain enabled when Power Down
or Idle mode is activated. The comparators will continue to function
in the power reduction mode. If a comparator interrupt is enabled, a
change of the comparator output state will generate an interrupt and

clock, and therefore the PWM counter clock, has the same
frequency as the clock source defined by the FOSC bits in UCFG1.
When bit 3 in the UCFG1 register is a “0” the microcontroller and
PWM counter clocks operate at half the frequency of clock source
defined by the FOSC bits in UCFG1. When the counter reaches
underflow it is reloaded with a user selectable value. This
mechanism allows the user to set the PWM frequency at any integer
sub–multiple of the microcontroller clock frequency. The repetition
frequency of the PWM is given by:
Pulse Width Modulator
The 87LPC768 contains four Pulse Width Modulated (PWM)
channels which generate pulses of programmable length and
interval. The output for PWM0 is on P0.1, PWM1 on P1.6, PWM2
on P1.7 and PWM3 on P0.1. After chip reset the internal output of
the each PWM channel is a “1.” Note that the state of the pin will
not reflect this if UCFG1.5, PRHI, is set to a zero. In this case
before the pin will reflect the state of the internal PWM output a “1”
must be written to each port bit that serves as a PWM output. A
block diagram is shown in Figure 8.
fPWM = FC / (CNSW+1)
The interval between successive outputs is controlled by a 10–bit
down counter which uses the internal microcontroller clock as its
input. When bit 3 in the UCFG1 register is a “1” the microcontroller

special cases. A compare value of all zeroes, 000, causes the
output to remain permanently high. A compare value of all ones,
3FF, results in the PWM output remaining permanently low. Again
the compare value is loaded into a shadow register. The transfer
from this holding register to the actual compare register is under
program control.
The width of each PWM output pulse is determined by the value in
the appropriate compare shadow registers, CPSW0 through
CPSW4, CPSW0–3 for bits 0–7 and CPSW4 for bits 7 and 8. When
the counter described above reaches underflow the PWM output is
forced high. It remains high until the compare value is reached at
which point it goes low until the next underflow. The number of
microcontroller clock pulses that the PWMn output is high is given
by:
The register assignments are shown below where the number
immediately following “CPSW” identifies the PWM output. Thus
CPSW0 controls the width of PWM0, CPSW1 the width of PWM1
etc. In the case of two digits following “CPSW,” e.g. CPSW00, the
second digit refers to the bit of the compare value. Thus CPSW00
represents the value loaded into bit 0 of the PWM0 compare register
tHI = (CNSW – CPSWn+1)
A compare value greater than the counter reload value results in the
PWM output being permanently high. In addition there are two

The overall functioning of the PWM module is controlled by the
contents of the PWMCON0 register. The operation of most of the
control bits is straightforward. For example there is an invert bit for
each output which causes results in the output to have the opposite
value compared to its non-inverted output. The transfer of the data
from the shadow registers to the control registers is controlled by the
PWMCON0.6 while PWMCON0.7 allows the PWM to be either in
the run or idle state. The user can monitor when underflow causes
the transfer to occur by monitoring the Transfer bit, PWCON0.6.
When the transfer takes place the PWM logic automatically resets
this bit.
PWMCON1 is written with Transfer set without Run being enabled
the transfer will never take place. Thus if a subsequent write sets
Run without Transfer the compare and counter values will not be
those expected. If Transfer and Run are set, and prior to underflow
there is a subsequent load of PWMCON0 which sets Run but not
Transfer, the transfer will never take place. Again the compare and
counter values that existed prior to the update attempt will be used.
As outlined above the Transfer bit can be polled to determine when
the transfer occurs. Unless there is a compelling reason to do
otherwise, it is recommended that both Run, PWMCON0.7, and
Transfer, PWMCON0.7, be set when PWMCON0 is written.
The fact that the transfer from the shadow to the working registers
only occurs when there is an underflow in the counter results in the
need for the user’s program to observe the following precautions. If
When the Run bit, PWMCON0.7, is cleared the PWM outputs take
on the state they had just prior to the bit being cleared. In general
this state is not known. In order to place the outputs in a known

section concerning the operation of PWMCON1) is not used to
control the brake function, the “Brake when not running” function can
be used to cause the outputs to have a given state when the PWM
is halted. This approach should be used only in time critical
situations when there is not sufficient time to use the approach
outlined above since going from the Brake state to run without
causing an undefined state on the outputs is not straightforward. A
discussion on this topic is included in the section on PWMCON1.

needed if the Brake signal can be of insufficient length to ensure
that it can be captured by a polling routine.
The Brake function, which is controlled by the contents of the
PWMCON1 register, is somewhat unique. In general when Brake is
asserted the four PWM outputs are forced to a user selected state,
namely the state selected by PWMCON1 bits 0 to 3.
When, after being asserted, the condition causing the brake is
removed, the PWM outputs go to whatever state that had
immediately prior to the brake. This means that in order to go from
brake being asserted to having the PWM run without going through
an indeterminate state care must be taken. If the Brake Pin causes
brake to be asserted the following prototype code will allow the
PWM to go from brake to run smoothly.
As shown in the description of the operation of the PWMCON1
register if PWMCON1.4 is a “1” brake is asserted under the control
PWMCON1.7, BKCH, and PWMCON1.5, BPEN. As shown if both
are a “0” Brake is asserted. If PWMCON1.7 is a “1” brake is
asserted when the run bit, PWMCON0.7, is a “0.” If PWMCON1.6 is
a “1” brake is asserted when the Brake Pin, P0.2, has the same
polarity as PWMCON1.6. When brake is asserted in response to
this pin the RUN bit, PWMCON0.7, is automatically cleared. The
combination of both PWMCON1.7 and PWMCON1.5 being a “1” is
not allowed.
• Rewrite PWMCON1 to change from Brake Pin enabled to S/W

• Write CPSW.(0:4) to always “1”, 11 h, or always “0” 00 h, to give

• Set PWMCON0 to enable Run and Transfer.
• Poll Brake Pin until it is no longer active. When no longer active:
Since the Brake Pin being asserted will automatically clear the Run
bit, PWMCON0.7, the user program can poll this bit to determine
when the Brake Pin causes a brake to occur. The other method for
detecting a brake caused by the Brake Pin would be to tie the Brake
Pin to one of the external interrupt pins. This latter approach is

87LPC768
I2C Serial Interface
The I2C bus uses two wires (SDA and SCL) to transfer information
between devices connected to the bus. The main features of the
bus are:
problems. SCL “stuck low” indicates a faulty master or slave. SCL
“stuck high” may mean a faulty device, or that noise induced onto
the I2C bus caused all masters to withdraw from I2C arbitration.
• Bidirectional data transfer between masters and slaves.
• Serial addressing of slaves (no added wiring).
• Acknowledgment after each transferred byte.
• Multimaster bus.
• Arbitration between simultaneously transmitting masters without
The first five of these times are 4.7 ms (see I2C specification) and
are covered by the low order three bits of timer I. Timer I is clocked
by the 87LPC768 CPU clock. Timer I can be pre-loaded with one of
four values to optimize timing for different oscillator frequencies. At
lower frequencies, software response time is increased and will
degrade maximum performance of the I2C bus. See special function
register I2CFG description for prescale values (CT0, CT1).
corruption of serial data on bus.
The MAXIMUM SCL CHANGE time is important, but its exact span
is not critical. The complete 10 bits of timer I are used to count out
the maximum time. When I2C operation is enabled, this counter is
cleared by transitions on the SCL pin. The timer does not run
between I2C frames (i.e., whenever reset or stop occurred more
recently than the last start). When this counter is running, it will carry
out after 1020 to 1023 machine cycles have elapsed since a change
on SCL. A carry out causes a hardware reset of the I2C interface
and generates an interrupt if the Timer I interrupt is enabled. In
cases where the bus hang-up is due to a lack of software response
by this device, the reset releases SCL and allows I2C operation
among other devices to continue.
I2C
The
subsystem includes hardware to simplify the software required
to drive the I2C bus. The hardware is a single bit interface which in
addition to including the necessary arbitration and framing error
checks, includes clock stretching and a bus timeout timer. The
interface is synchronized to software either through polled loops
or interrupts.
Refer to the application note AN422, entitled “Using the 8XC751
Microcontroller as an I2C Bus Master” for additional discussion of
the 8xC76x I2C interface and sample driver routines.
The 87LPC768 I2C implementation duplicates that of the 87C751
and 87C752 except for the following details:
Timer I is enabled to run, and will reset the I2C interface upon
overflow, if the TIRUN bit in the I2CFG register is set. The Timer I
interrupt may be enabled via the ETI bit in IEN1, and its priority set
by the PTIH and PTI bits in the Ip1H and IP1 registers respectively.
• The interrupt vector addresses for both the I2C interrupt and the
Timer I interrupt.
• The I2C SFR addresses (I2CON, !2CFG, I2DAT).
• The location of the I2C interrupt enable bit and the name of the
I2C Interrupts
If I2C interrupts are enabled (EA and EI2 are both set to 1), an I2C
interrupt will occur whenever the ATN flag is set by a start, stop,
arbitration loss, or data ready condition (refer to the description of ATN
following). In practice, it is not efficient to operate the I2C interface in
this fashion because the I2C interrupt service routine would somehow
have to distinguish between hundreds of possible conditions. Also,
since I2C can operate at a fairly high rate, the software may execute
faster if the code simply waits for the I2C interface.
SFR it is located within (EI2 is Bit 0 in IEN1).
• The location of the Timer I interrupt enable bit and the name of the
SFR it is located within (ETI is Bit 7 in IEN1).
• The I2C and Timer I interrupts have a settable priority.
Timer I is used to both control the timing of the I2C bus and also to
detect a “bus locked” condition, by causing an interrupt when
nothing happens on the I2C bus for an inordinately long period of
time while a transmission is in progress. If this interrupt occurs, the
program has the opportunity to attempt to correct the fault and
resume I2C operation.
Typically, the I2C interrupt should only be used to indicate a start
condition at an idle slave device, or a stop condition at an idle master
device (if it is waiting to use the I2C bus). This is accomplished by
enabling the I2C interrupt only during the aforementioned conditions.
Six time spans are important in I2C operation and are insured by timer I:
Reading I2CON
RDAT
The data from SDA is captured into “Receive DATa”
whenever a rising edge occurs on SCL. RDAT is also
available (with seven low-order zeros) in the I2DAT
register. The difference between reading it here and
there is that reading I2DAT clears DRDY, allowing the
I2C to proceed on to another bit. Typically, the first
seven bits of a received byte are read from
I2DAT, while the 8th is read here. Then I2DAT can be
written to send the Acknowledge bit and clear DRDY.
• The MINIMUM HIGH time for SCL when this device is the master.
• The MINIMUM LOW time for SCL when this device is a master.
This is not very important for a single-bit hardware interface like
this one, because the SCL low time is stretched until the software
responds to the I2C flags. The software response time normally
meets or exceeds the MIN LO time. In cases where the software
responds within MIN HI + MIN LO) time, timer I will ensure that
the minimum time is met.
• The MINIMUM SCL HIGH TO SDA HIGH time in a stop condition.
• The MINIMUM SDA HIGH TO SDA LOW time between I2C stop
ATN
“ATteNtion” is 1 when one or more of DRDY, ARL, STR, or
STP is 1. Thus, ATN comprises a single bit that can be
tested to release the I2C service routine from a “wait loop.”
DRDY
“Data ReaDY” (and thus ATN) is set when a rising edge
occurs on SCL, except at idle slave. DRDY is cleared
by writing CDR = 1, or by writing or reading the I2DAT
register. The following low period on SCL is stretched
until the program responds by clearing DRDY.

• The MINIMUM SDA LOW TO SCL LOW time in a start condition.

are different. Testing of I2CON bits via the JB and JNB instructions is supported.

bit position in the message, it may then write I2CON with one or
more of the following bits, or it may read or write the I2DAT register.
Checking ATN and DRDY
When a program detects ATN = 1, it should next check DRDY. If
DRDY = 1, then if it receives the last bit, it should capture the data
from RDAT (in I2DAT or I2CON). Next, if the next bit is to be sent, it
should be written to I2DAT. One way or another, it should clear
DRDY and then return to monitoring ATN. Note that if any of ARL,
STR, or STP is set, clearing DRDY will not release SCL to high, so
that the I2C will not go on to the next bit. If a program detects
ATN = 1, and DRDY = 0, it should go on to examine ARL, STR,
and STP.
ARL
CXA
1. If the program sent a 1 or repeated start, but another
device sent a 0, or a stop, so that SDA is 0 at the rising
edge of SCL. (If the other device sent a stop, the setting
of ARL will be followed shortly by STP being set.)
2. If the program sent a 1, but another device sent a
repeated start, and it drove SDA low before SCL
could be driven low. (This type of ARL is always
accompanied by STR = 1.)
IDLE
Writing 1 to “IDLE” causes a slave’s I2C hardware to
ignore the I2C until the next start condition (but if
MASTRQ is 1, then a stop condition will cause this
device to become a master).
CDR
Writing a 1 to “Clear Data Ready” clears DRDY.
(Reading or writing the I2DAT register also does this.)
CARL
Writing a 1 to “Clear Arbitration Loss” clears the ARL bit.
CSTR
Writing a 1 to “Clear STaRt” clears the STR bit.
CSTP
Writing a 1 to “Clear SToP” clears the STP bit. Note that
if one or more of DRDY, ARL, STR, or STP is 1, the low
time of SCL is stretched until the service routine
responds by clearing them.
XSTR
Writing 1s to “Xmit repeated STaRt” and CDR tells the
I2C hardware to send a repeated start condition. This
should only be at a master. Note that XSTR need not
and should not be used to send an “initial”
(non-repeated) start; it is sent automatically by the I2C
hardware. Writing XSTR = 1 includes the effect of
writing I2DAT with XDAT = 1; it sets Transmit Active
and releases SDA to high during the SCL low time.
After SCL goes high, the I2C hardware waits for the
suitable minimum time and then drives SDA low to
make the start condition.
XSTP
Writing 1s to “Xmit SToP” and CDR tells the I2C
hardware to send a stop condition. This should only be
done at a master. If there are no more messages to
initiate, the service routine should clear the MASTRQ
bit in I2CFG to 0 before writing XSTP with 1. Writing
XSTP = 1 includes the effect of writing I2DAT with
XDAT = 0; it sets Transmit Active and drives SDA low
during the SCL low time. After SCL goes high, the I2C
hardware waits for the suitable minimum time and then
releases SDA to high to make the stop condition.
3. In master mode, if the program sent a repeated start,
but another device sent a 1, and it drove SCL low
before this device could drive SDA low.
4. In master mode, if the program sent stop, but it could
not be sent because another device sent a 0.
“STaRt” is set to a 1 when an I2C start condition is
detected at a non-idle slave or at a master. (STR is not
set when an idle slave becomes active due to a start
bit; the slave has nothing useful to do until the rising
edge of SCL sets DRDY.)
STP
“SToP” is set to 1 when an I2C stop condition is
detected at a non-idle slave or at a master. (STP is not
set for a stop condition at an idle slave.)
MASTER
“MASTER” is 1 if this device is currently a master on
the I2C. MASTER is set when MASTRQ is 1 and the
bus is not busy (i.e., if a start bit hasn’t been
received since reset or a “Timer I” time-out, or if a stop
has been received since the last start). MASTER is
cleared when ARL is set, or after the software writes
MASTRQ = 0 and then XSTP = 1.
Writing I2CON
Typically, for each bit in an I2C message, a service routine waits for
ATN = 1. Based on DRDY, ARL, STR, and STP, and on the current
2001 Aug 06
Writing a 1 to “Clear Xmit Active” clears the Transmit
Active state. (Reading the I2DAT register also does this.)
Regarding Transmit Active
Transmit Active is set by writing the I2DAT register, or by writing
I2CON with XSTR = 1 or XSTP = 1. The I2C interface will only drive
the SDA line low when Transmit Active is set, and the ARL bit will
only be set to 1 when Transmit Active is set. Transmit Active is
cleared by reading the I2DAT register, or by writing I2CON with CXA
= 1. Transmit Active is automatically cleared when ARL is 1.
“Arbitration Loss” is 1 when transmit Active was set, but
this device lost arbitration to another transmitter.
Transmit Active is cleared when ARL is 1. There are
four separate cases in which ARL is set.

Slave Enable. Writing a 1 this bit enables the slave functions of the I2C subsystem. If SLAVEN and
MASTRQ are 0, the I2C hardware is disabled. This bit is cleared to 0 by reset and by an I2C
time-out.
I2CFG.6
MASTRQ
Master Request. Writing a 1 to this bit requests mastership of the I2C bus. If a transmission is in
progress when this bit is changed from 0 to 1, action is delayed until a stop condition is detected. A
start condition is sent and DRDY is set (thus making ATN = 1 and generating an I2C interrupt).
When a master wishes to release mastership status of the I2C, it writes a 1 to XSTP in I2CON.
MASTRQ is cleared by an I2C time-out.

CLRTI
Writing a 1 to this bit clears the Timer I overflow flag. This bit position always reads as a 0.

Writing a 1 to this bit lets Timer I run; a zero stops and clears it. Together with SLAVEN, MASTRQ,

These two bits are programmed as a function of the CPU clock rate, to optimize the MIN HI and LO
time of SCL when this device is a master on the I2C. The time value determined by these bits
controls both of these parameters, and also the timing for stop and start conditions.

first line of the table where CPU clock max is greater than or equal
to the actual frequency.
Regarding Software Response Time
Because the 87LPC768 can run at 20 MHz, and because the I2C
interface is optimized for high-speed operation, it is quite likely that
an I2C service routine will sometimes respond to DRDY (which is set
at a rising edge of SCL) and write I2DAT before SCL has gone low
again. If XDAT were applied directly to SDA, this situation would
produce an I2C protocol violation. The programmer need not worry
about this possibility because XDAT is applied to SDA only when
SCL is low.
Table 2 also shows the machine cycle count for various settings of
CT1/CT0. This allows calculation of the actual minimum high and
low times for SCL as follows:
SCL min highńlow time (in microseconds) + 6 * Min Time Count
CPU clock (in MHz)
Conversely, a program that includes an I2C service routine may take
a long time to respond to DRDY. Typically, an I2C routine operates
on a flag-polling basis during a message, with interrupts from other
peripheral functions enabled. If an interrupt occurs, it will delay the
response of the I2C service routine. The programmer need not worry
about this very much either, because the I2C hardware stretches the
SCL low time until the service routine responds. The only constraint
on the response is that it must not exceed the Timer I time-out.
For instance, at an 8 MHz frequency, with CT1/CT0 set to 1 0, the
minimum SCL high and low times will be 5.25 µs.
Table 2 also shows the Timer I timeout period (given in machine
cycles) for each CT1/CT0 combination. The timeout period varies
because of the way in which minimum SCL high and low times are
measured. When the I2C interface is operating, Timer I is pre-loaded
at every SCL transition with a value dependent upon CT1/CT0. The
pre-load value is chosen such that a minimum SCL high or low time
has elapsed when Timer I reaches a count of 008 (the actual value
pre-loaded into Timer I is 8 minus the machine cycle count).
Values to be used in the CT1 and CT0 bits are shown in Table 2. To
allow the I2C bus to run at the maximum rate for a particular
oscillator frequency, compare the actual oscillator rate to the f OSC
max column in the table. The value for CT1 and CT0 is found in the

The 87LPC768 uses a four priority level interrupt structure. This
allows great flexibility in controlling the handling of the 87LPC768’s many
interrupt sources. The 87LPC768 supports up to 13 interrupt sources.
of the same or lower priority. The highest priority interrupt service
cannot be interrupted by any other interrupt source. So, if two
requests of different priority levels are received simultaneously, the
request of higher priority level is serviced.
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled by
setting or clearing a bit in registers IEN0 or IEN1. The IEN0
register also contains a global disable bit, EA, which disables all
interrupts at once.
If requests of the same priority level are received simultaneously, an
internal polling sequence determines which request is serviced. This
is called the arbitration ranking. Note that the arbitration ranking is
only used to resolve simultaneous requests of the same priority level.
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of four
priority levels by setting or clearing bits in the IP0, IP0H, IP1, and
IP1H registers. An interrupt service routine in progress can be
interrupted by a higher priority interrupt, but not by another interrupt
Table 3 summarizes the interrupt sources, flag bits, vector
addresses, enable bits, priority bits, arbitration ranking, and whether
each interrupt may wake up the CPU from Power Down mode.

External Interrupt Inputs
The 87LPC768 has two individual interrupt inputs as well as the
Keyboard Interrupt function. The latter is described separately
elsewhere in this section. The two interrupt inputs are identical to
those present on the standard 80C51 microcontroller.
transition-activated, the external source has to hold the request pin
high for at least one machine cycle, and then hold it low for at least
one machine cycle. This is to ensure that the transition is seen and
that interrupt request flag IEn is set. IEn is automatically cleared by
the CPU when the service routine is called.
The external sources can be programmed to be level-activated or
transition-activated by setting or clearing bit IT1 or IT0 in Register
TCON. If ITn = 0, external interrupt n is triggered by a detected low
at the INTn pin. If ITn = 1, external interrupt n is edge triggered. In
this mode if successive samples of the INTn pin show a high in one
cycle and a low in the next cycle, interrupt request flag IEn in TCON
is set, causing an interrupt request.
If the external interrupt is level-activated, the external source must
hold the request active until the requested interrupt is actually
generated. If the external interrupt is still asserted when the interrupt
service routine is completed another interrupt will be generated. It is
not necessary to clear the interrupt flag IEn when the interrupt is
level sensitive, it simply tracks the input pin level.
If an external interrupt is enabled when the 87LPC768 is put into
Power Down or Idle mode, the interrupt will cause the processor to
wake up and resume operation. Refer to the section on Power
Reduction Modes for details.
Since the external interrupt pins are sampled once each machine
cycle, an input high or low should hold for at least 6 CPU Clocks to
ensure proper sampling. If the external interrupt is

input and output without the need to reconfigure the port. This is
possible because when the port outputs a logic high, it is weakly
driven, allowing an external device to pull the pin low. When the pin
is pulled low, it is driven strongly and able to sink a fairly large
current. These features are somewhat similar to an open drain
output except that there are three pull-up transistors in the
quasi-bidirectional output that serve different purposes.
I/O Ports
The 87LPC768 has 3 I/O ports, port 0, port 1, and port 2. The exact
number of I/O pins available depend upon the oscillator and reset
options chosen. At least 15 pins of the 87LPC768 may be used as
I/Os when a two-pin external oscillator and an external reset circuit
are used. Up to 18 pins may be available if fully on-chip oscillator
and reset configurations are chosen.
One of these pull-ups, called the “very weak” pull-up, is turned on
whenever the port latch for the pin contains a logic 1. The very weak
pull-up sources a very small current that will pull the pin high if it is
left floating.
All but three I/O port pins on the 87LPC768 may be software
configured to one of four types on a bit-by-bit basis, as shown in
Table 4. These are: quasi-bidirectional (standard 80C51 port
outputs), push-pull, open drain, and input only. Two configuration
registers for each port choose the output type for each port pin.
A second pull-up, called the “weak” pull-up, is turned on when the
port latch for the pin contains a logic 1 and the pin itself is also at a
logic 1 level. This pull-up provides the primary source current for a
quasi-bidirectional pin that is outputting a 1. If a pin that has a logic 1
on it is pulled low by an external device, the weak pull-up turns off,
and only the very weak pull-up remains on. In order to pull the pin
low under these conditions, the external device has to sink enough
current to overpower the weak pull-up and take the voltage on the
port pin below its input threshold.

The third pull-up is referred to as the “strong” pull-up. This pull-up is
used to speed up low-to-high transitions on a quasi-bidirectional port
pin when the port latch changes from a logic 0 to a logic 1. When this
occurs, the strong pull-up turns on for a brief time, two CPU clocks, in
order to pull the port pin high quickly. Then it turns off again.
Quasi-Bidirectional Output Configuration
The default port output configuration for standard 87LPC768 I/O
ports is the quasi-bidirectional output that is common on the 80C51
and most of its derivatives. This output type can be used as both an

Open Drain Output Configuration
The open drain output configuration turns off all pull-ups and only
drives the pull-down transistor of the port driver when the port latch
contains a logic 0. To be used as a logic output, a port configured in
this manner must have an external pull-up, typically a resistor tied to
VDD. The pull-down for this mode is the same as for the
quasi-bidirectional mode.
87LPC768
The value of port pins at reset is determined by the PRHI bit in the
UCFG1 register. Ports may be configured to reset high or low as
needed for the application. When port pins are driven high at reset,
they are in quasi-bidirectional mode and therefore do not source
large amounts of current.
Every output on the 87LPC768 may potentially be used as a 20 mA
sink LED drive output. However, there is a maximum total output
current for all ports which must not be exceeded.
The open drain port configuration is shown in Figure 14.
All ports pins of the 87LPC768 have slew rate controlled outputs. This
is to limit noise generated by quickly switching output signals. The
slew rate is factory set to approximately 10 ns rise and fall times.
Push-Pull Output Configuration
The push-pull output configuration has the same pull-down structure
as both the open drain and the quasi-bidirectional output modes, but
provides a continuous strong pull-up when the port latch contains a
logic 1. The push-pull mode may be used when more source current
is needed from a port output.
The bits in the P2M1 register that are not used to control
configuration of P2.1 and P2.0 are used for other purposes. These
bits can enable Schmitt trigger inputs on each I/O port, enable
toggle outputs from Timer 0 and Timer 1, and enable a clock output
if either the internal RC oscillator or external clock input is being
used. The last two functions are described in the Timer/Counters
and Oscillator sections respectively. The enable bits for all of these
functions are shown in Figure 16.
The push-pull port configuration is shown in Figure 15.
The three port pins that cannot be configured are P1.2, P1.3, and
P1.5. The port pins P1.2 and P1.3 are permanently configured as
open drain outputs. They may be used as inputs by writing ones to
their respective port latches. P1.5 may be used as a Schmitt trigger
input if the 87LPC768 has been configured for an internal reset and
is not using the external reset input function RST.
Each I/O port of the 87LPC768 may be selected to use TTL level
inputs or Schmitt inputs with hysteresis. A single configuration bit
determines this selection for the entire port. Port pins P1.2, P1.3,
and P1.5 always have a Schmitt trigger input.
Additionally, port pins P2.0 and P2.1 are disabled for both input and
output if one of the crystal oscillator options is chosen. Those
options are described in the Oscillator section.

Keyboard Interrupt (KBI)
The Keyboard Interrupt function is intended primarily to allow a
single interrupt to be generated when any key is pressed on a
keyboard or keypad connected to specific pins of the 87LPC768, as
shown in Figure 17. This interrupt may be used to wake up the CPU
from Idle or Power Down modes. This feature is particularly useful in
handheld, battery powered systems that need to carefully manage
power consumption yet also need to be convenient to use.
Due to human time scales and the mechanical delay associated with
keyswitch closures, the KBI feature will typically allow the interrupt
service routine to poll port 0 in order to determine which key was
pressed, even if the processor has to wake up from Power Down
mode. Refer to the section on Power Reduction Modes for details.
The 87LPC768 allows any or all pins of port 0 to be enabled to
cause this interrupt. Port pins are enabled by the setting of bits in

On-Chip RC Oscillator Option
The on-chip RC oscillator option has a typical frequency of 6 MHz
and can be divided down for slower operation through the use of the
DIVM register. Note that the on-chip oscillator has a ±25% frequency
tolerance and for that reason may not be suitable for use in some
applications. A clock output on the X2/P2.0 pin may be enabled
when the on-chip RC oscillator is used.
pin may be used as a standard port pin. A clock output on the X2/P2.0
pin may be enabled when the external clock input is used.
Clock Output
The 87LPC768 supports a clock output function when either the
on-chip RC oscillator or external clock input options are selected.
This allows external devices to synchronize to the 87LPC768. When
enabled, via the ENCLK bit in the P2M1 register, the clock output
appears on the X2/CLKOUT pin whenever the on-chip oscillator is
running, including in Idle mode. The frequency of the clock output is
1/6 of the CPU clock rate. If the clock output is not needed in Idle
mode, it may be turned off prior to entering Idle, saving additional
power. The clock output may also be enabled when the external
clock input option is selected.
External Clock Input Option
In this configuration, the processor clock is input from an external
source driving the X1/P2.1 pin. The rate may be from 0 Hz up to
20 MHz when VDD is above 4.5 V and up to 10 MHz when VDD is
below 4.5 V. When the external clock input mode is used, the X2/P2.0

CPU Clock Modification: CLKR and DIVM
For backward compatibility, the CLKR configuration bit allows
setting the 87LPC768 instruction and peripheral timing to match
standard 80C51 timing by dividing the CPU clock by two. Default
timing for the 87LPC768 is 6 CPU clocks per machine cycle while
standard 80C51 timing is 12 clocks per machine cycle. This
division also applies to peripheral timing, allowing 80C51 code that
is oscillator frequency and/or timer rate dependent. The CLKR bit
is located in the EPROM configuration register UCFG1, described
under EPROM Characteristics
Power Monitoring Functions
The 87LPC768 incorporates power monitoring functions designed to
prevent incorrect operation during initial power up and power loss or
reduction during operation. This is accomplished with two hardware
functions: Power-On Detect and Brownout Detect.
Brownout Detection
The Brownout Detect function allows preventing the processor from
failing in an unpredictable manner if the power supply voltage drops
below a certain level. The default operation is for a brownout
detection to cause a processor reset, however it may alternatively
be configured to generate an interrupt by setting the BOI bit in the
AUXR1 register (AUXR1.5).
In addition to this, the CPU clock may be divided down from the
oscillator rate by a programmable divider, under program control.
This function is controlled by the DIVM register. If the DIVM register
is set to zero (the default value), the CPU will be clocked by either
the unmodified oscillator rate, or that rate divided by two, as
determined by the previously described CLKR function.
The 87LPC768 allows selection of two Brownout levels: 2.5 V or
3.8 V. When VDD drops below the selected voltage, the brownout
detector triggers and remains active until VDD is returns to a level
above the Brownout Detect voltage. When Brownout Detect causes
a processor reset, that reset remains active as long as VDD remains
below the Brownout Detect voltage. When Brownout Detect
generates an interrupt, that interrupt occurs once as VDD crosses
from above to below the Brownout Detect voltage. For the interrupt
to be processed, the interrupt system and the BOI interrupt must
both be enabled (via the EA and EBO bits in IEN0).
When the DIVM register is set to some value N (between 1 and 255),
the CPU clock is divided by 2 * (N + 1). Clock division values from 4
through 512 are thus possible. This feature makes it possible to
temporarily run the CPU at a lower rate, reducing power consumption,
in a manner similar to Idle mode. By dividing the clock, the CPU can
retain the ability to respond to events other than those that can cause
interrupts (i.e. events that allow exiting the Idle mode) by executing its
normal program at a lower rate. This can allow bypassing the
oscillator startup time in cases where Power Down mode would
otherwise be used. The value of DIVM may be changed by the
program at any time without interrupting code execution.
2001 Aug 06
When Brownout Detect is activated, the BOF flag in the PCON
register is set so that the cause of processor reset may be determined
by software. This flag will remain set until cleared by software.

Preliminary data
Low power, low price, low pin count (20 pin) microcontroller
with 4 kB OTP 8-bit A/D, Pulse Width Modulator
The processor can be made to exit Power Down mode via Reset or
one of the interrupt sources shown in Table 5. This will occur if the
interrupt is enabled and its priority is higher than any interrupt
currently in progress.
For correct activation of Brownout Detect, the VDD fall time must be
no faster than 50 mV/µs. When VDD is restored, is should not rise
faster than 2 mV/µs in order to insure a proper reset.
The brownout voltage (2.5 V or 3.8 V) is selected via the BOV bit in
the EPROM configuration register UCFG1. When unprogrammed
(BOV = 1), the brownout detect voltage is 2.5 V. When programmed
(BOV = 0), the brownout detect voltage is 3.8 V.
In Power Down mode, the power supply voltage may be reduced to
the RAM keep-alive voltage VRAM. This retains the RAM contents
at the point where Power Down mode was entered. SFR contents
are not guaranteed after VDD has been lowered to VRAM, therefore
it is recommended to wake up the processor via Reset in this case.
VDD must be raised to within the operating range before the Power
Down mode is exited. Since the watchdog timer has a separate
oscillator, it may reset the processor upon overflow if it is running
during Power Down.
If the Brownout Detect function is not required in an application, it
may be disabled, thus saving power. Brownout Detect is disabled by
setting the control bit BOD in the AUXR1 register (AUXR1.6).
Power On Detection
The Power On Detect has a function similar to the Brownout Detect,
but is designed to work as power comes up initially, before the
power supply voltage reaches a level where Brownout Detect can
work. When this feature is activated, the POF flag in the PCON
register is set to indicate an initial power up condition. The POF flag
will remain set until cleared by software.
Note that if the Brownout Detect reset is enabled, the processor will
be put into reset as soon as VDD drops below the brownout voltage.
If Brownout Detect is configured as an interrupt and is enabled, it will
wake up the processor from Power Down mode when VDD drops
below the brownout voltage.
Power Reduction Modes
When the processor wakes up from Power Down mode, it will start
the oscillator immediately and begin execution when the oscillator is
stable. Oscillator stability is determined by counting 1024 CPU
clocks after start-up when one of the crystal oscillator configurations
is used, or 256 clocks after start-up for the internal RC or external
clock input configurations.
The 87LPC768 supports Idle and Power Down modes of power
reduction.
Idle Mode
The Idle mode leaves peripherals running in order to allow them to
activate the processor when an interrupt is generated. Any enabled
interrupt source or Reset may terminate Idle mode. Idle mode is
entered by setting the IDL bit in the PCON register (see Figure 22).
Some chip functions continue to operate and draw power during
Power Down mode, increasing the total power used during Power
Down. These include the Brownout Detect, Watchdog Timer,
Comparators, and A/D converter.
Power Down Mode
The Power Down mode stops the oscillator in order to absolutely
minimize power consumption. Power Down mode is entered by
setting the PD bit in the PCON register (see Figure 22).

Low Voltage EPROM Operation
The EPROM array contains some analog circuits that are not
required when VDD is less than 4 V, but are required for a VDD
greater than 4 V. The LPEP bit (AUXR.4), when set by software, will
power down these analog circuits resulting in a reduced supply
current. LPEP is cleared only by power-on reset, so it may be set
ONLY for applications that always operate with VDD less than 4 V.
87LPC768
Reset
The 87LPC768 has an active low reset input when configured for an
external reset. A fully internal reset may also be configured which
provides a reset when power is initially applied to the device. The
watchdog timer can act as an oscillator fail detect because it uses
an independent, fully on-chip oscillator.
The external reset input is disabled, and fully internal reset
generation enabled, by programming the RPD bit in the EPROM
configuration register UCFG1 to 0. EPROM configuration is
described in the section EPROM Characteristics

machine cycle. When the samples of the pin state show a high in
one cycle and a low in the next cycle, the count is incremented. The
new count value appears in the register during the cycle following
the one in which the transition was detected. Since it takes 2
machine cycles (12 CPU clocks) to recognize a 1-to-0 transition, the
maximum count rate is 1/6 of the CPU clock frequency. There are no
restrictions on the duty cycle of the external input signal, but to
ensure that a given level is sampled at least once before it changes,
it should be held for at least one full machine cycle.
Timer/Counters
The 87LPC768 has two general purpose counter/timers which are
upward compatible with the standard 80C51 Timer 0 and Timer 1.
Both can be configured to operate either as timers or event counters
(see Figure 25). An option to automatically toggle the T0 and/or T1
pins upon timer overflow has been added.
In the “Timer” function, the register is incremented every machine
cycle. Thus, one can think of it as counting machine cycles. Since a
machine cycle consists of 6 CPU clock periods, the count rate is 1/6
of the CPU clock frequency. Refer to the section Enhanced CPU for
a description of the CPU clock.
The “Timer” or “Counter” function is selected by control bits C/T in
the Special Function Register TMOD. In addition to the “Timer” or
“Counter” selection, Timer 0 and Timer 1 have four operating
modes, which are selected by bit-pairs (M1, M0) in TMOD. Modes 0,
1, and 2 are the same for both Timers/Counters. Mode 3 is different.
The four operating modes are described in the following text.
In the “Counter” function, the register is incremented in response to
a 1-to-0 transition at its corresponding external input pin, T0 or T1.
In this function, the external input is sampled once during every

Mode 1
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that all 16 bits of the timer
register (THn and TLn) are used. See Figure 28
87LPC768
Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate 8-bit
counters. The logic for Mode 3 on Timer 0 is shown in Figure 30.
TL0 uses the Timer 0 control bits: C/T, GATE, TR0, INT0, and TF0.
TH0 is locked into a timer function (counting machine cycles) and
takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer 1. Thus, TH0 now
controls the “Timer 1” interrupt.
Mode 2
Mode 2 configures the Timer register as an 8-bit Counter (TL1) with
automatic reload, as shown in Figure 29. Overflow from TLn not only
sets TFn, but also reloads TLn with the contents of THn, which must
be preset by software. The reload leaves THn unchanged. Mode 2
operation is the same for Timer 0 and Timer 1.
Mode 3 is provided for applications that require an extra 8-bit timer.
With Timer 0 in Mode 3, an 87LPC768 can look like it has three
Timer/Counters. When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned
on and off by switching it into and out of its own Mode 3. It can still
be used by the serial port as a baud rate generator, or in any
application not requiring an interrupt.

When Timer 1 is in Mode 3 it is stopped. The effect is the same as
setting TR1 = 0.

Figure 30. Timer/Counter 0 Mode 3 (Two 8-Bit Counters)
Mode 1
10 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD): a
start bit (logical 0), 8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (logical 1).
When data is received, the stop bit is stored in RB8 in Special
Function Register SCON. The baud rate is variable and is
determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate.
Timer Overflow Toggle Output
Timers 0 and 1 can be configured to automatically toggle a port
output whenever a timer overflow occurs. The same device pins that
are used for the T0 and T1 count inputs are also used for the timer
toggle outputs. This function is enabled by control bits T0OE and
T1OE in the P2M1 register, and apply to Timer 0 and Timer 1
respectively. The port outputs will be a logic 1 prior to the first timer
overflow when this mode is turned on.
Mode 2
11 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD):
start bit (logical 0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data
bit, and a stop bit (logical 1). When data is transmitted, the 9th data
bit (TB8 in SCON) can be assigned the value of 0 or 1. Or, for
example, the parity bit (P, in the PSW) could be moved into TB8.
When data is received, the 9th data bit goes into RB8 in Special
Function Register SCON, while the stop bit is ignored. The baud
rate is programmable to either 1/16 or 1/32 of the CPU clock
frequency, as determined by the SMOD1 bit in PCON.
UART
The 87LPC768 includes an enhanced 80C51 UART. The baud rate
source for the UART is timer 1 for modes 1 and 3, while the rate is
fixed in modes 0 and 2. Because CPU clocking is different on the
87LPC768 than on the standard 80C51, baud rate calculation is
somewhat different. Enhancements over the standard 80C51 UART
include Framing Error detection and automatic address recognition.
The serial port is full duplex, meaning it can transmit and receive
simultaneously. It is also receive-buffered, meaning it can
commence reception of a second byte before a previously received
byte has been read from the SBUF register. However, if the first byte
still hasn’t been read by the time reception of the second byte is
complete, the first byte will be lost. The serial port receive and
transmit registers are both accessed through Special Function
Register SBUF. Writing to SBUF loads the transmit register, and
reading SBUF accesses a physically separate receive register.
Mode 3
11 bits are transmitted (through TxD) or received (through RxD): a
start bit (logical 0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data
bit, and a stop bit (logical 1). In fact, Mode 3 is the same as Mode 2
in all respects except baud rate. The baud rate in Mode 3 is variable
and is determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate.
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction that
uses SBUF as a destination register. Reception is initiated in Mode 0
by the condition RI = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is initiated in the
other modes by the incoming start bit if REN = 1.
The serial port can be operated in 4 modes:
Mode 0
Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD outputs the shift
clock. 8 bits are transmitted or received, LSB first. The baud rate is
fixed at 1/6 of the CPU clock frequency.

Serial Port Control Register (SCON)
The serial port control and status register is the Special Function
Register SCON, shown in Figure 31. This register contains not only
the mode selection bits, but also the 9th data bit for transmit and
receive (TB8 and RB8), and the serial port interrupt bits (TI and RI).
with the SM0 bit. Which bit appears in SCON at any particular time
is determined by the SMOD0 bit in the PCON register. If SMOD0 =
0, SCON.7 is the SM0 bit. If SMOD0 = 1, SCON.7 is the FE bit.
Once set, the FE bit remains set until it is cleared by software. This
allows detection of framing errors for a group of characters without
the need for monitoring it for every character individually.
The Framing Error bit (FE) allows detection of missing stop bits in
the received data stream. The FE bit shares the bit position SCON.7

“counter” operation, and in any of its 3 running modes. In the most
typical applications, it is configured for “timer” operation, in the
auto-reload mode (high nibble of TMOD = 0010b). In that case the
baud rate is given by the formula:
Baud Rates
The baud rate in Mode 0 is fixed: Mode 0 Baud Rate = CPU clock/6.
The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of bit SMOD1 in
Special Function Register PCON. If SMOD1 = 0 (which is the value
on reset), the baud rate is 1/32 of the CPU clock frequency. If
SMOD1 = 1, the baud rate is 1/16 of the CPU clock frequency.

More About UART Mode 1
Ten bits are transmitted (through TxD), or received (through RxD): a
start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (1). On receive, the
stop bit goes into RB8 in SCON. In the 87LPC768 the baud rate is
determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate. Figure 33 shows a
simplified functional diagram of the serial port in Mode 1, and
associated timings for transmit receive.
More About UART Mode 0
Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD outputs the shift
clock. 8 bits are transmitted/received: 8 data bits (LSB first). The
baud rate is fixed at 1/6 the CPU clock frequency. Figure 32 shows
a simplified functional diagram of the serial port in Mode 0, and
associated timing.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a
destination register. The “write to SBUF” signal at S6P2 also loads a
1 into the 9th position of the transmit shift register and tells the TX
Control block to commence a transmission. The internal timing is
such that one full machine cycle will elapse between “write to SBUF”
and activation of SEND.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a
destination register. The “write to SBUF” signal also loads a 1 into
the 9th bit position of the transmit shift register and flags the TX
Control unit that a transmission is requested. Transmission actually
commences at S1P1 of the machine cycle following the next rollover
in the divide-by-16 counter. (Thus, the bit times are synchronized to
the divide-by-16 counter, not to the “write to SBUF” signal.)
SEND enables the output of the shift register to the alternate output
function line of P1.1 and also enable SHIFT CLOCK to the alternate
output function line of P1.0. SHIFT CLOCK is low during S3, S4, and
S5 of every machine cycle, and high during S6, S1, and S2. At
S6P2 of every machine cycle in which SEND is active, the contents
of the transmit shift are shifted to the right one position.
The transmission begins with activation of SEND which puts the
start bit at TxD. One bit time later, DATA is activated, which enables
the output bit of the transmit shift register to TxD. The first shift pulse
occurs one bit time after that.
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros are clocked in from the left.
When the MSB of the data byte is at the output position of the shift
register, then the 1 that was initially loaded into the 9th position is
just to the left of the MSB, and all positions to the left of that contain
zeros. This condition flags the TX Control unit to do one last shift
and then deactivate SEND and set TI. This occurs at the 10th
divide-by-16 rollover after “write to SBUF.”
As data bits shift out to the right, zeros come in from the left. When
the MSB of the data byte is at the output position of the shift register,
then the 1 that was initially loaded into the 9th position, is just to the
left of the MSB, and all positions to the left of that contain zeros. This
condition flags the TX Control block to do one last shift and then
deactivate SEND and set T1. Both of these actions occur at S1P1 of
the 10th machine cycle after “write to SBUF.” Reception is initiated by
the condition REN = 1 and R1 = 0. At S6P2 of the next machine
cycle, the RX Control unit writes the bits 11111110 t o the receive shift
register, and in the next clock phase activates RECEIVE.
Reception is initiated by a detected 1-to-0 transition at RxD. For this
purpose RxD is sampled at a rate of 16 times whatever baud rate
has been established. When a transition is detected, the
divide-by-16 counter is immediately reset, and 1FFH is written into
the input shift register. Resetting the divide-by-16 counter aligns its
rollovers with the boundaries of the incoming bit times.
RECEIVE enable SHIFT CLOCK to the alternate output function line
of P1.0. SHIFT CLOCK makes transitions at S3P1 and S6P1 of every
machine cycle. At S6P2 of every machine cycle in which RECEIVE is
active, the contents of the receive shift register are shifted to the left
one position. The value that comes in from the right is the value that
was sampled at the P1.1 pin at S5P2 of the same machine cycle.
The 16 states of the counter divide each bit time into 16ths. At the
7th, 8th, and 9th counter states of each bit time, the bit detector
samples the value of RxD. The value accepted is the value that was
seen in at least 2 of the 3 samples. This is done for noise rejection.
If the value accepted during the first bit time is not 0, the receive
circuits are reset and the unit goes back to looking for another 1-to-0
transition. This is to provide rejection of false start bits. If the start bit
proves valid, it is shifted into the input shift register, and reception of
the rest of the frame will proceed.
As data bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left. When the 0
that was initially loaded into the rightmost position arrives at the
leftmost position in the shift register, it flags the RX Control block to do
one last shift and load SBUF. At S1P1 of the 10th machine cycle after
the write to SCON that cleared RI, RECEIVE is cleared as RI is set.
As data bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left. When the
start bit arrives at the leftmost position in the shift register (which in
mode 1 is a 9-bit register), it flags the RX Control block to do one
last shift, load SBUF and RB8, and set RI. The signal to load SBUF
and RB8, and to set RI, will be generated if, and only if, the following
conditions are met at the time the final shift pulse is generated.: 1.
R1 = 0, and 2. Either SM2 = 0, or the received stop bit = 1.
If either of these two conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost. If both conditions are met, the stop bit goes into
RB8, the 8 data bits go into SBUF, and RI is activated. At this time,
whether the above conditions are met or not, the unit goes back to
looking for a 1-to-0 transition in RxD.

More About UART Modes 2 and 3
Eleven bits are transmitted (through TxD), or received (through
RxD): a start bit (0), 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data
bit, and a stop bit (1). On transmit, the 9th data bit (TB8) can be
assigned the value of 0 or 1. On receive, the 9the data bit goes into
RB8 in SCON. The baud rate is programmable to either 1/16 or 1/32
of the CPU clock frequency in Mode 2. Mode 3 may have a variable
baud rate generated from Timer 1.
As data bits come in from the right, 1s shift out to the left. When the
start bit arrives at the leftmost position in the shift register (which in
Modes 2 and 3 is a 9-bit register), it flags the RX Control block to do
one last shift, load SBUF and RB8, and set RI.
The signal to load SBUF and RB8, and to set RI, will be generated
if, and only if, the following conditions are met at the time the final
shift pulse is generated. 1. RI = 0, and 2. Either SM2 = 0, or the
received 9th data bit = 1.
Figures 34 and 35 show a functional diagram of the serial port in
Modes 2 and 3. The receive portion is exactly the same as in Mode 1.
The transmit portion differs from Mode 1 only in the 9th bit of the
transmit shift register.
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost, and RI is not set. If both conditions are met, the
received 9th data bit goes into RB8, and the first 8 data bits go into
SBUF. One bit time later, whether the above conditions were met
or not, the unit goes back to looking for a 1-to-0 transition at the
RxD input.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that uses SBUF as a
destination register. The “write to SBUF” signal also loads TB8 into
the 9th bit position of the transmit shift register and flags the TX
Control unit that a transmission is requested. Transmission
commences at S1P1 of the machine cycle following the next rollover
in the divide-by-16 counter. (Thus, the bit times are synchronized to
the divide-by-16 counter, not to the “write to SBUF” signal.)
Multiprocessor Communications
UART modes 2 and 3 have a special provision for multiprocessor
communications. In these modes, 9 data bits are received or
transmitted. When data is received, the 9th bit is stored in RB8. The
UART can be programmed such that when the stop bit is received,
the serial port interrupt will be activated only if RB8 = 1. This feature
is enabled by setting bit SM2 in SCON. One way to use this feature
in multiprocessor systems is as follows:
The transmission begins with activation of SEND, which puts the
start bit at TxD. One bit time later, DATA is activated, which enables
the output bit of the transmit shift register to TxD. The first shift pulse
occurs one bit time after that. The first shift clocks a 1 (the stop bit)
into the 9th bit position of the shift register. Thereafter, only zeros
are clocked in. Thus, as data bits shift out to the right, zeros are
clocked in from the left. When TB8 is at the output position of the
shift register, then the stop bit is just to the left of TB8, and all
positions to the left of that contain zeros. This condition flags the TX
Control unit to do one last shift and then deactivate SEND and set
TI. This occurs at the 11th divide-by-16 rollover after “write to SBUF.”
When the master processor wants to transmit a block of data to one
of several slaves, it first sends out an address byte which identifies
the target slave. An address byte differs from a data byte in that the
9th bit is 1 in an address byte and 0 in a data byte. With SM2 = 1, no
slave will be interrupted by a data byte. An address byte, however,
will interrupt all slaves, so that each slave can examine the received
byte and see if it is being addressed. The addressed slave will clear
its SM2 bit and prepare to receive the data bytes that follow. The
slaves that weren’t being addressed leave their SM2 bits set and go
on about their business, ignoring the subsequent data bytes.
Reception is initiated by a detected 1-to-0 transition at RxD. For this
purpose RxD is sampled at a rate of 16 times whatever baud rate
has been established. When a transition is detected, the
divide-by-16 counter is immediately reset, and 1FFH is written to the
input shift register.
SM2 has no effect in Mode 0, and in Mode 1 can be used to check
the validity of the stop bit, although this is better done with the
Framing Error flag. In a Mode 1 reception, if SM2 = 1, the receive
interrupt will not be activated unless a valid stop bit is received.
At the 7th, 8th, and 9th counter states of each bit time, the bit
detector samples the value of R–D. The value accepted is the value
that was seen in at least 2 of the 3 samples. If the value accepted
during the first bit time is not 0, the receive circuits are reset and the
unit goes back to looking for another 1-to-0 transition. If the start bit

Philips Semiconductors
Preliminary data
Low power, low price, low pin count (20 pin) microcontroller
with 4 kB OTP 8-bit A/D, Pulse Width Modulator
will be FF hexadecimal. Upon reset SADDR and SADEN are loaded
with 0s. This produces a given address of all “don’t cares” as well as
a Broadcast address of all “don’t cares”. This effectively disables the
Automatic Addressing mode and allows the microcontroller to use
standard UART drivers which do not make use of this feature.
Automatic Address Recognition
Automatic Address Recognition is a feature which allows the UART
to recognize certain addresses in the serial bit stream by using
hardware to make the comparisons. This feature saves a great deal
of software overhead by eliminating the need for the software to
examine every serial address which passes by the serial port. This
feature is enabled by setting the SM2 bit in SCON. In the 9 bit UART
modes, mode 2 and mode 3, the Receive Interrupt flag (RI) will be
automatically set when the received byte contains either the “Given”
address or the “Broadcast” address. The 9 bit mode requires that
the 9th information bit is a 1 to indicate that the received information
is an address and not data.
Watchdog Timer
When enabled via the WDTE configuration bit, the watchdog timer is
operated from an independent, fully on-chip oscillator in order to
provide the greatest possible dependability. When the watchdog
feature is enabled, the timer must be fed regularly by software in
order to prevent it from resetting the CPU, and it cannot be turned off.
When disabled as a watchdog timer (via the WDTE bit in the UCFG1
configuration register), it may be used as an interval timer and may
generate an interrupt. The watchdog timer is shown in Figure 36.
Using the Automatic Address Recognition feature allows a master to
selectively communicate with one or more slaves by invoking the
Given slave address or addresses. All of the slaves may be
contacted by using the Broadcast address. Two special Function
Registers are used to define the slave’s address, SADDR, and the
address mask, SADEN. SADEN is used to define which bits in the
SADDR are to be used and which bits are “don’t care”. The SADEN
mask can be logically ANDed with the SADDR to create the “Given”
address which the master will use for addressing each of the slaves.
Use of the Given address allows multiple slaves to be recognized
while excluding others. The following examples will help to show the
versatility of this scheme:
Slave 0
SADDR = 1100 0000
SADEN = 1111 1101
Given
= 1100 00X0
Slave 1
SADDR = 1100 0000
SADEN = 1111 1110
Given
= 1100 000X
The watchdog timeout time is selectable from one of eight values,
nominal times range from 16 milliseconds to 2.1 seconds. The
frequency tolerance of the independent watchdog RC oscillator is
±37%. The timeout selections and other control bits are shown in
Figure 37. When the watchdog function is enabled, the WDCON
register may be written once during chip initialization in order to set
the watchdog timeout time. The recommended method of initializing
the WDCON register is to first feed the watchdog, then write to
WDCON to configure the WDS2–0 bits. Using this method, the
watchdog initialization may be done any time within 10 milliseconds
after startup without a watchdog overflow occurring before the
initialization can be completed.
Since the watchdog timer oscillator is fully on-chip and independent
of any external oscillator circuit used by the CPU, it intrinsically
serves as an oscillator fail detection function. If the watchdog feature
is enabled and the CPU oscillator fails for any reason, the watchdog
timer will time out and reset the CPU.
In the above example SADDR is the same and the SADEN data is
used to differentiate between the two slaves. Slave 0 requires a 0 in
bit 0 and it ignores bit 1. Slave 1 requires a 0 in bit 1 and bit 0 is
ignored. A unique address for Slave 0 would be 1100 0010 since
slave 1 requires a 0 in bit 1. A unique address for slave 1 would be
1100 0001 since a 1 in bit 0 will exclude slave 0. Both slaves can be
selected at the same time by an address which has bit 0 = 0 (for
slave 0) and bit 1 = 0 (for slave 1). Thus, both could be addressed
with 1100 0000.
When the watchdog function is enabled, the timer is deactivated
temporarily when a chip reset occurs from another source, such as
a power on reset, brownout reset, or external reset.
Watchdog Feed Sequence
If the watchdog timer is running, it must be fed before it times out in
order to prevent a chip reset from occurring. The watchdog feed
sequence consists of first writing the value 1Eh, then the value E1h
to the WDRST register. An example of a watchdog feed sequence is
shown below.
In a more complex system the following could be used to select
slaves 1 and 2 while excluding slave 0:
Slave 0
SADDR = 1100 0000
SADEN = 1111 1001
Given
= 1100 0XX0
Slave 1
SADDR = 1110 0000
SADEN = 1111 1010
Given
= 1110 0X0X
Slave 2
SADDR = 1110 0000
SADEN = 1111 1100
Given
= 1110 00XX
WDFeed:
mov WDRST,#1eh ; First part of watchdog feed sequence.
mov WDRST,#0e1h ; Second part of watchdog feed sequence.
The two writes to WDRST do not have to occur in consecutive
instructions. An incorrect watchdog feed sequence does not cause
any immediate response from the watchdog timer, which will still
time out at the originally scheduled time if a correct feed sequence
does not occur prior to that time.
After a chip reset, the user program has a limited time in which to
either feed the watchdog timer or change the timeout period. When
a low CPU clock frequency is used in the application, the number of
instructions that can be executed before the watchdog overflows
may be quite small.
In the above example the differentiation among the 3 slaves is in the
lower 3 address bits. Slave 0 requires that bit 0 = 0 and it can be
uniquely addressed by 1110 0110. Slave 1 requires that bit 1 = 0 and
it can be uniquely addressed by 1110 and 0101. Slave 2 requires
that bit 2 = 0 and its unique address is 1110 0011. To select Slaves 0
and 1 and exclude Slave 2 use address 1110 0100, since it is
necessary to make bit 2 = 1 to exclude slave 2. The Broadcast
Address for each slave is created by taking the logical OR of SADDR
and SADEN. Zeros in this result are treated as don’t-cares. In most
cases, interpreting the don’t-cares as ones, the broadcast address

Watchdog Reset
If a watchdog reset occurs, the internal reset is active for
approximately one microsecond. If the CPU clock was still running,
code execution will begin immediately after that. If the processor
was in Power Down mode, the watchdog reset will start the oscillator
and code execution will resume after the oscillator is stable.

Additional Features
The AUXR1 register contains several special purpose control bits that
relate to several chip features. AUXR1 is described in Figure 38.

AUXR1
Move code byte relative to DPTR to the

Move data byte from data memory
relative to DPTR to the accumulator.
Also, any instruction that reads or manipulates the DPH and DPL
registers (the upper and lower bytes of the current DPTR) will be
affected by the setting of DPS. The MOVX instructions have limited
application for the 87LPC768 since the part does not have an
external data bus. However, they may be used to access EPROM
configuration information (see EPROM Characteristics section).
Bit 2 of AUXR1 is permanently wired as a logic 0. This is so that the
DPS bit may be toggled (thereby switching Data Pointers) simply by
incrementing the AUXR1 register, without the possibility of
inadvertently altering other bits in the register.
Specific instructions affected by the Data Pointer selection are:
Increments the Data Pointer by 1.
Load the Data Pointer with a 16-bit
constant.
Move data byte the accumulator to data
memory relative to DPTR.

Dual Data Pointers
The dual Data Pointer (DPTR) adds to the ways in which the

to software unless the DPS bit is toggled.

The SRST bit in AUXR1 allows software the opportunity to reset the

occurred. If a value is written to AUXR1 that contains a 1 at bit
position 3, all SFRs will be initialized and execution will resume at
program address 0000. Care should be taken when writing to
AUXR1 to avoid accidental software resets.

32-Byte Customer Code Space
A small supplemental EPROM space is reserved for use by the
customer in order to identify code revisions, store checksums, add a
serial number to each device, or any other desired use. This area
exists in the code memory space from addresses FCE0h through
FCFFh. Code execution from this space is not supported, but it may
be read as data through the use of the MOVC instruction with the
appropriate addresses. The memory may be programmed at the
same time as the rest of the code memory and UCFG bytes are
programmed.
EPROM Characteristics
Programming of the EPROM on the 87LPC768 is accomplished with
a serial programming method. Commands, addresses, and data are
transmitted to and from the device on two pins after programming
mode is entered. Serial programming allows easy implementation of
in-circuit programming of the 87LPC768 in an application board.
Details of In-System Programming can be found in application note
AN466.
The 87LPC768 contains three signature bytes that can be read and
used by an EPROM programming system to identify the device. The
signature bytes designate the device as an 87LPC768 manufactured
by Philips. The signature bytes may be read by the user program at
addresses FC30h, FC31h and FC60h with the MOVC instruction,
using the DPTR register for addressing.
System Configuration Bytes
A number of user configurable features of the 87LPC768 must be
defined at power up and therefore cannot be set by the program after
start of execution. Those features are configured through the use of
two EPROM bytes that are programmed in the same manner as the
EPROM program space. The contents of the two configuration bytes,
UCFG1 and UCFG2, are shown in Figures 39 and 40. The values of
these bytes may be read by the program through the use of the
MOVX instruction at the addresses shown in the figure.
A special user data area is also available for access via the MOVC
instruction at addresses FCE0h through FCFFh. This “customer
code” space is programmed in the same manner as the main code
EPROM and may be used to store a serial number, manufacturing
date, or other application information.

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

NOTES:
1. Conditions: VSS = 0V; VDD = 5.12V.
2. The A/D is monotonic, there are no missing codes
3. The differential non-linearity (DLe) is the difference between the actual step width and the ideal step width. See Figure 41.
4. The integral non-linearity (ILe) is the peak difference between the center of the steps of the actual and the ideal transfer curve after
appropriate adjustment of gain and offset errors. See Figure 41.
5. The offset error (OSe) is the absolute difference between the straight line which fits the actual transfer curve (after removing gain error), and
the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. See Figure 41.
6. The gain error (Ge) is the relative difference in percent between the straight line fitting the actual transfer curve (after removing offset error),
and the straight line which fits the ideal transfer curve. Gain error is constant at every point on the transfer curve. See Figure 41.
7. The absolute voltage error (Ae) is the maximum difference between the center of the steps of the actual transfer curve of the non-calibrated
ADC and the ideal transfer curve.
8. This should be considered when both analog and digital signals are input simultaneously to A/D pins.
9. Changing the input voltage faster than this may cause erroneous readings.
10. A source impedance higher than this driving an A/D input may result in loss of precision and erroneous readings.
