Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974
Low-Voltage Microcontrollers

Architectural Overview
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family is designed to be used in a wide variety of
embedded control applications including home appliances, infrared (IR) remote
controls, security systems, and wireless keyboards.
It has three counter/timers, a general-purpose 8-bit counter/timer with a 6-bit prescaler and an 8-bit/16-bit counter/timer pair that can be used individually for general-purpose timing or as a pair to automate the generation and reception of
complex pulses or signals. Unique features of the Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974
family of products include 489 bytes of general-purpose random-access memory
(RAM), 256 bytes of which are mapped into the program memory space and can
be used to store data variables or as executable RAM, a low-battery detection
flag, and a controlled current output pin, which is a regulated current source that
sinks a predefined current (ICCO). Table 1 highlights the basic product features of
these microcontrollers.

The Z8 microcontroller core offers more flexibility and performance than accumulator-based microcontrollers. All 256 general-purpose registers, including dedicated input/output (I/O) port registers, can be used as accumulators. This unique
register-to-register architecture avoids accumulator bottlenecks for high code efficiency. The registers can be used as address pointers for indirect addressing, as
index registers, or for implementing an on-chip stack.
The Z8 has a sophisticated interrupt structure and automatically saves the program counter and status flags on the stack for fast context-switching. Speed of
execution and smooth programming are also supported by a “working register
area” with short 4-bit register addresses.
The Z8 instruction set, consisting of 43 basic instructions, is optimized for highcode density and reduced execution time. It is similar in form to the ZiLOG Z80
instruction set. The eight instruction types and six addressing modes together with
the ability to operate on bits, 4-bit nibbles or binary coded decimal (BCD) digits, 8bit bytes, and 16-bit words, make for a code-efficient, flexible microcontroller.

Operational Description
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Description
The Z8 architecture is characterized by a flexible I/O scheme, an efficient register
and address space structure and a number of ancillary features for cost-sensitive,
high-volume embedded control applications. ROM-based products are geared for
high-volume production (where the software is stable) and one-time programmable equivalents for prototyping as well as volume production where time to market
or code flexibility is critical.
Architecture Type
The Z8 register-oriented architecture centers around an internal register file composed of 256 consecutive bytes, known as the standard register file. The standard
register file consists of 4 I/O port registers (R2, R4, R5, and R6), 12 control and
status registers, 233 general-purpose registers, and 7 registers reserved for future
expansion. In addition to the standard register file, the Z86L972/Z86L973/
Z86L974 family uses 21 control and status registers located in the Z8 expanded
register file. Any general-purpose register can be used as an accumulator and
address pointer or an index, data, or stack register.
All active registers can be referenced or modified by any instruction that accesses
an 8-bit register, without the requirement for special instructions. Registers
accessed as 16 bits are treated as even-odd register pairs. In this case, the data’s
most significant byte (MSB) is stored in the even-numbered register, while the
least significant byte (LSB) goes into the next higher odd-numbered register.
The Z8 CPU has an instruction set designed for the large register file. The instruction set provides a full compliment of 8-bit arithmetic and logical operations. BCD
operations are supported using a decimal adjustment of binary values, and 16-bit
quantities for addresses and counters can be incremented and decremented. Bit
manipulation and Rotate and Shift instructions complete the data-manipulation

capabilities of the Z8 CPU. No special I/O instructions are necessary because the
I/O is mapped into the register file.
CPU Control Registers
The standard Z8 control registers govern the operation of the CPU. Any instruction which references the register file can access these control registers. The following are available control registers:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Register Pointer (RP)
Stack Pointer (SP)
Program Control Flags (FLAGS)
Interrupt Control (IPR, IMR, and IRQ)
Stop Mode Recovery (SMR, P2SMR, and P5SMR)
Low-Battery Detect (LB) Flag
The Z8 uses a 16-bit Program Counter (PC) to determine the sequence of current
program instructions. The PC is not an addressable register.
Peripheral registers are used to transfer data, configure the operating mode, and
control the operation of the on-chip peripherals. Any instruction that references
the register file can access the peripheral registers. The following are peripheral
control registers:
•
•
•
•
T1 Timer/Counter (TMR, T1, and PRE1)
T8 Timer/Counter (CTR0, HI8, LO8, TC8H, and TC8L)
T16 Timer/Counter (CTR2, HI16, LO16, TC16H, and TC16L)
T8/T16 Control Registers (CTR1 and CTR3)
In addition, the four port registers are considered to be peripheral registers. The
following are port control registers:
•
•
•
•
•
Port Configuration Registers (P456CON and P3M)
Port 2 Control and Mode Registers (P2 and P2M)
Port 4 Control and Mode Registers (P4 and P4M)
Port 5 Control and Mode Registers (P5 and P5M)
Port 6 Control and Mode Registers (P6 and P6M)
The functions and applications of the control and peripheral registers are
explained in “Control and Status Registers” on page 47.

Memory (ROM and RAM)
There are four basic address spaces available to support a wide range of configurations:
•
•
•
•
Program memory (on-chip)
Standard register file
Expanded register file
Executable RAM
The Z8 standard register file totals up to 256 consecutive bytes organized as 16
groups of 16 eight-bit registers. These registers consist of I/O port registers,
general-purpose RAM registers, and control and status registers. Every RAM register acts like an accumulator, speeding instruction execution and maximizing coding efficiency. Working register groups allow fast context switching.
The standard register file of the Z8 (known as Bank 0) has been expanded to form
16 expanded register file (ERF) banks. The expanded register file allows for additional system control registers and for the mapping of additional peripheral
devices into the register area. Each ERF bank can potentially consist of up to 256
registers (the same amount as in the standard register file) that can then be
divided into 16 working register groups. Currently, only Group 0 of ERF Banks F
and D (0Fh and 0Dh) has been implemented.
In addition to the standard program memory and the RAM register files, the
Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family also has 256 bytes of executable RAM that
has been mapped into the upper 256 bytes of the program memory address
space (FF00h–FFFFh). Data can be written to the executable RAM by using the
LDC instruction.
Program Memory Structure
The first 12 bytes of program memory are reserved for the interrupt vectors.
These locations contain six 16-bit vectors that correspond to the six available
interrupts (IRQ0 through IRQ5.) Address 12 (0Ch) up consists of on-chip read-only
memory (ROM).
After any reset operation (power-on reset, watch-dog timer time out, and stop
mode recovery), program execution resumes with the initial instruction fetch from
location 000Ch. After a reset, the first routine executed must be one that initializes
the control registers to the required system configuration.
A unique feature of the Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family is the presence of 256
bytes of on-chip executable RAM. This random-access memory is in addition to
the standard Z8 register file memory available on all Z8 microcontrollers. As illustrated in Figure 4, the executable RAM is mapped into the upper 256 bytes of the

Z8 Standard Register File (Bank 0)
Bank 0 of the Z8 expanded register file architecture is known as the standard register file of the Z8. As shown in Figure 5, the Z8 standard register file consists of
16 groups of sixteen 8-bit registers known as Working Register (WR) groups.
Working Register Group F contains various control and status registers. The lower
half of Working Register Group 0 consists of I/O port registers (R0 to R7), the
upper eight registers are available for use as general-purpose RAM registers.

Clock Circuit Description
The Z8 derives its timing from on-board clock circuitry connected to pins XTAL1
and XTAL2. The clock circuitry consists of an oscillator, a divide-by-two shaping
circuit, and a clock buffer. The oscillator’s input is XTAL1, and the oscillator’s output is XTAL2. The clock can be driven by a crystal, a ceramic resonator, LC clock,
RC, or an external clock source.
Clock Control
The Z8 offers software control of the internal system clock using programming
register bits in the SMR register. This register selects the clock divide value and
determines the mode of STOP Mode Recovery.
The default setting is external clock divide-by-two. When bits 1 and 0 of the SMR
register are set to 0, the System Clock (SCLK) and Timer Clock (TCLK) are equal
to the external clock frequency divided by two.
When bit 1 of the SMR register is set to 1, then SCLK and TCLK equal the external clock frequency. Refer to Table 51 on page 78 for the maximum clock frequency.
A divide-by-16 prescaler of SCLK and TCLK allows you to selectively reduce
device power consumption during normal processor execution (under SCLK control) and/or HALT mode, where TCLK sources counter/timers and interrupt logic.
Combining the divide-by-2 circuitry with the divide-by-16 prescaler allows the
external clock to be divided by 32.

Interrupts
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family allows up to six different interrupts, three
external and three internal, from nine possible sources. The six interrupts are
assigned as follows:
•
Three edge triggered external interrupts (P51, P52, and P53), two of which are
shared with the two analog comparators
•
•
•
One internal interrupt assigned to the T8 Timer
One internal interrupt assigned to the T16 Timer
One internal interrupt shared between the Low-Battery Detect flag and the T1
Timer

specific interrupt vectors.

These interrupts can be masked and their priorities set by using the Interrupt
Mask Register (IMR) and Interrupt Priority Register (IPR) (Figure 7.) When more
than one interrupt is pending, priorities are resolved by a priority encoder, controlled by the IPR.

Figure 7. Interrupt Block Diagram
Interrupt requests are stored in the Interrupt Request Register (IRQ), which can
also be used for polling. When an interrupt request is granted, the Z8 enters an
“interrupt machine cycle” that globally disables all other interrupts, saves the program counter (the address of the next instruction to be executed) and status flags,
and finally branches to the vector location for the interrupt granted. It is only at this
point that control passes to the interrupt service routine for the specific interrupt.
All six interrupts can be globally disabled by resetting the master Interrupt Enable
(bit 7 of the IMR) with a Disable Interrupts (DI) instruction. Interrupts are globally
enabled by setting the same bit with an Enable Interrupts (EI) instruction.
Descriptions of three interrupt control registers—the Interrupt Request Register,
the Interrupt Mask Register, and the Interrupt Priority Register—are provided in
“Register Summary” on page 47. The Z8 family supports both vectored and polled
interrupt handling.
External Interrupt Sources
External sources involve interrupt request lines P51, P52, and P53 (IRQ2, IRQ0,
and IRQ1, respectively.) IRQ0, IRQ1, and IRQ2 are generated by a transition on
the corresponding port pin. As shown in Figure 8, when the appropriate port pin
(P51, P52, or P53) transitions, the first flip-flop is set. The next two flip-flops synchronize the request to the internal clock and delay it by two internal clock periods. The output of the most recent flip-flop (IRQ0, IRQ1, or IRQ2) sets the
corresponding Interrupt Request Register bit.

requests.
Internal Interrupt Sources
Internal sources are ORed with the external sources, so that either an internal or
external source can trigger the interrupt.
Interrupt Request Register Logic and Timing
Figure 9 shows the logic diagram for the Interrupt Request Register. The leading
edge of an interrupt request sets the first flip-flop. It remains set until the interrupt
requests are sampled.

Figure 9. IRQ Logic
Internal interrupt requests are sampled during the most recent clock cycle before
an Op Code fetch (see Figure 10.) External interrupt requests are sampled two
internal clocks earlier than internal interrupt requests because of the synchronizing flip-flops shown in Figure 8.
Figure 10. Interrupt Request Timing
At sample time, the interrupt request is transferred to the second flip-flop shown in
Figure 9, which drives the interrupt mask and priority logic. When an interrupt
cycle occurs, this flip-flop is reset only for the highest priority level that is enabled.
You have direct access to the second flip-flop by reading and writing to the IRQ.
The IRQ is read by specifying it as the source register of an instruction, and the
IRQ is written by specifying it as the destination register.
Interrupt Initialization
After RESET, all interrupts are disabled and must be re-initialized before vectored
or polled interrupt processing can begin. The Interrupt Priority Register, Interrupt
Mask Register, and Interrupt Request Register must be initialized, in that order, to

start the interrupt process. However, the IPR does not have to be initialized for
polled processing.
Interrupts must be globally enabled using the EI instruction. Setting bit 7 of the
IMR is not sufficient. Subsequent to this EI instruction, interrupts can be enabled
either by IMR manipulation or by use of the EI instruction, with equivalent effects.
Additionally, interrupts must be disabled by executing a DI instruction before the
IPRs or IMRs can be modified. Interrupts can then be enabled by executing an EI
instruction.
IRQ Software Interrupt Generation
IRQ can be used to generate software interrupts by specifying IRQ as the destination of any instruction referencing the Z8 Standard Register File. These Software
Interrupts (SWIs) are controlled in the same manner as hardware-generated
requests (in other words, the IPR and the IMR control the priority and enabling of
each SWI level).
To generate a SWI, the request bit in the IRQ is set as follows:
OR
IRQ, #NUMBER
where the immediate data, NUMBER, has a 1 in the bit position corresponding to
the appropriate level of the SWI.
For example, for an SWI on IRQ5, NUMBER would have a 1 in bit 5. With this
instruction, if the interrupt system is globally enabled, IRQ5 is enabled, and there
are no higher priority pending requests, control is transferred to the service routine
pointed to by the IRQ5 vector.
Reset Conditions
A system reset overrides all other operating conditions and puts the Z8 into a
known state. The control and status registers are reset to their default conditions
after a power-on reset (POR) or a Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) time-out while in RUN
mode. The control and status registers are not reset to their default conditions
after Stop Mode Recovery (SMR) while in HALT or STOP mode.
General-purpose registers are undefined after the device is powered up. Resetting the Z8 does not affect the contents of the general-purpose registers. The registers keep their most recent value after any reset, as long as the reset occurs in
the specified VCC operating range. Registers do not keep their most recent state
from a VLV reset, if VCC drops below VRAM (see Table 51 on page 78).
Following a reset (see Table 5), the first routine executed must be one that initializes the control registers to the required system configuration.

This register is not reset following Stop Mode Recovery (SMR).
*This bit is not reset following SMR.
X means this bit is undefined at POR and is not reset following SMR.
**In OTP, the default for P43 is open-drain output at power up; you need to
initialize the P43 data. In the mask part, the P43 output is disabled until it is
configured as output.
Notes:
Power-On Reset
A POR (cold start) always resets the Z8 control and status registers to their default
conditions. A POR sets bit 7 of the Stop Mode Recovery register to 0 to indicate
that a cold start has occurred.
A timer circuit clocked by a dedicated on-board RC oscillator is used for the
Power-On Reset Timer (TPOR) function. The POR time is specified as TPOR.
TPOR time allows VCC and the oscillator circuit to stabilize before instruction execution begins.
The POR delay timer circuit is a one-shot timer triggered by one of three conditions:
•
Power Fail to Power OK status including recovery from Low Voltage (VLV)
Standby mode
•
•
STOP-Mode Recovery (when bit 5 of the SMR register = 1)
WDT time-out
Under normal operating conditions, a stop mode recovery event always triggers
the POR delay timer. This delay is necessary to allow the external oscillator time
to stabilize. When using an RC or LC oscillator (with a low Q factor), the shorter
wake-up time means the delay can be eliminated.
Bit 5 of the SMR register selects whether the POR timer delay is used after StopMode Recovery or is bypassed. If bit 5 =1, then the POR timer delay is used. If bit
5 = 0, then the POR timer delay is bypassed. In this case, the SMR source must
be held in the recovery state for 5 TpC to pass the Reset signal internally.
Watch-Dog Timer (WDT)
The WDT is a retriggerable one-shot timer that resets the Z8 if it reaches its
terminal count. When operating in the RUN modes, a WDT reset is functionally
equivalent to a hardware POR reset. If the mask option of the permanently
enabled watch-dog timer is selected, it runs when power up. If the option is not

selected, the WDT is initially enabled by executing the WDT instruction and
refreshed on subsequent executions of the WDT instruction.
The WDT instruction does not affect the Zero (Z), Sign (S), and Overflow (V) flags.
Permanently enabled WDTs are always enabled, and the WDT instruction is used
to refresh it. The WDT cannot be disabled after it has been initially enabled. The
WDT is off during both HALT and STOP modes.
The WDT circuit is driven by an on-board RC oscillator. The time-out period for the
WDT is fixed to a typical value (see Table 53 on page 81).
Power Management
In addition to the standard RUN mode, the Z8 supports three power-down modes
to minimize device current consumption. The following three modes are supported:
•

•
HALT
STOP
Low-Voltage Standby
Table 6 shows the status of the internal CPU clock (SCLK), the internal Timer

Using the Power-Down Modes
In order to enter HALT or STOP mode, it is necessary to first flush the instruction
pipeline to avoid suspending execution in mid-instruction. You can flush the
instruction pipeline by executing a NOP (Op Code = FFh) immediately before the
appropriate sleep instruction. For example:

or
Mnemonic Comment

HALT

Op Code

HALT
HALT mode suspends instruction execution and turns off the internal CPU clock
(SCLK). The on-chip oscillator circuit remains active, so the internal Timer clock
(TCLK) continues to run and is applied to the counter/timers and interrupt logic.
An interrupt request, either internally or externally generated, must be executed
(enabled) to exit HALT mode. After the interrupt service routine, the program continues from the instruction immediately following the HALT.
The HALT mode can also be exited by a POR. In this case, the program execution
restarts at the reset address 000Ch.
STOP
STOP mode provides the lowest possible device standby current. This instruction
turns off both the internal CPU clock (SCLK) and internal Timer clock (TCLK) and
reduces the standby current to the minimum.
The STOP mode is terminated by a POR or SMR source. Terminating the STOP
mode causes the processor to restart the application program at address 000Ch.
Note: When the STOP instruction is executed, the microcontroller goes into the
STOP mode despite any state/change of the state of the port. The ports
need to be checked immediately before the NOP and STOP instructions to
ensure the right input logic before waiting for the change of the ports.
Stop Mode Recovery Sources
Exiting STOP mode using an SMR source is greatly simplified in the Z86L972/
Z86L973/Z86L974 family. The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family of products
allows 16 individual I/O pins (Ports 2 and 5) to be used as stop-mode recovery
sources. The STOP mode is exited when one of these SMR sources is toggled. A
transition from either low to high or high to low on any pin of Port 2 or Port 5 if the
pin is identified as an SMR source will effect an SMR.
There are three registers that control STOP mode recovery:

The functions and applications of these registers are explained in “Stop-Mode
Recovery Control Registers” on page 75.
Low-Voltage Standby
An on-chip voltage comparator checks that the VCC level is at the required level
for correct operation of the Z8. When VCC falls below the low-voltage trip voltage
(VLV), reset is globally driven, and then the device is put in a low-current standby
mode with the external oscillator stopped. If the VCC remains above VRAM, the
RAM content is preserved.
When the power level rises above the VLV level, the device performs a POR and
functions normally.
The minimum operating voltage varies with temperature and operating frequency,
while VLV varies with temperature only.
I/O Ports
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family has up to 32 lines dedicated to input and
output in the 40-pin configuration. These lines are grouped into four 8-bit ports
known as Port 2, Port 4, Port 5, and Port 6. All four ports are bit programmable as
either inputs or outputs with the exception of P52, P53, and P43. P52 and P53 are
input only as they are used in factory programming. P43 is the controlled current
output and is therefore output only.
All ports have push-pull CMOS outputs. In addition, the push-pull outputs can be
turned off for open-drain operation using the P456CON register.
Internal resistive pull-up transistors are available as a user-defined mask option
on all ports. For Ports 4, 5, and 6, the pull-ups are nibble selectable. For Port 2,
the pull-up option applies to all eight I/O lines.
Note: Internal pull-ups are disabled on any given pin or group of port
pins when those pins are programmed as outputs.
Mode Registers
Each port has an associated Mode Register that determines the port’s functions
and allows dynamic change in port functions during program execution. Port and
Mode Registers are mapped into the Standard Register File. Because of their
close association, Port and Mode Registers are treated like any other
general-purpose register. There are no special instructions for port manipulation.
Any instruction that addresses a register can address the ports. Data can be
directly accessed in the Port Register, with no extra moves.

Input and Output Registers
Each of the four ports (Ports 2, 4, 5, and 6) has an input register, an output register, and associated buffer and control logic. Because there are separate input and
output registers associated with each port, writing bits defined as inputs store the
data in the output register. This data cannot be read as long as the bits are defined
as inputs. However, if the bits are reconfigured as output, the data stored in the
output register is reflected on the output pins and can then be read. This mechanism allows you to initialize the outputs before driving their loads.
Because port inputs are asynchronous to the Z8 internal clock, a READ operation
could occur during an input transition. In this case, the logic level might be uncertain (somewhere between a logic 1 and 0).
General Port I/O
The eight I/O lines of each port (except P43, P52, and P53) can be configured
under software control to be either input or output, independently. Bits programmed as outputs can be globally programmed as either push-pull or opendrain. See Figure 11.

Read/Write Operations
The ports are accessed as general-purpose registers. Port registers are written by
specifying the port register as an instruction’s destination register. Writing to a port
causes data to be stored in the output register of the port, and reflected externally
on any bit configured as an output.

Ports are read by specifying the port register as the source register of an instruction. When an output bit is read, data on the external pin is returned. Under normal
loading conditions, returning data on the external pin is equivalent to reading the
output register. However, if a bit is defined as an open-drain output, the data
returned is the value forced on the output pin by the external system. This value
might not be the same as the data in the output register. Reading input bits also
returns data on the external pins.

Analog Comparators
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family includes two independent on-chip general-purpose analog comparators as shown in Figure 12. The comparators are
multiplexed with a digital input signal by the P456CON register. They can also be
used to generate interrupts IRQ0 and IRQ2. The comparators are turned off in
STOP mode.

Active Glitch Filter
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family incorporates an active power/glitch filter
that can be used to improve the quality of the power supply when the device is
operating in noisy environments. The chips use two separate power buses:
•
pad ring power bus (all the output drivers plus the crystal/RC oscillator) called
VDD_padring
•
core power bus (all digital circuitry) called VDD
Depending on the pin availability, one or more of the power busses are connected
together.
The active power filter can be used in the packages that have the VDD separate.
Figure 13 shows the internal schematic.

Figure 13. Active Glitch/Power Filter
When the internal power/glitch filter is not used, both VDD_padring and VDD must be
connected together externally to the power supply.
When the internal circuitry is used, the VDD_padring has to be connected to the
power supply and the VDD has to be connected to an external energy storage
capacitor (1−10 µF range). The core is connected only to this capacitor during
power supply glitches.

Controlled Current Output
P43 is an open-drain pin that can be configured as output or Tristate High Impedance. To function properly, Bit 3 of P4M must be set to zero to configure the pin as
an open-drain output. After reset, P43 defaults to Tristate High Impedance. The
data at Port 4 must be initialized as it is undefined at power-on reset.
The current output is a controlled current source that is controlled by the output of
the value of P43 (see Table 9). P43 cannot be configured as input, and if P43 is
read, P43 always returns the state of the output value (1 for no sink and 0 for
sink).
Before going into STOP mode, P43 must be set to 1 to reduce STOP mode current.n

The CPU reads the mode of the pad driver by reading bit number 2 from the LB
register. This bit is the output of a Set-Reset flip-flop that sets whenever the voltage on the pad is lower than Voutmin and is reset by a CPU write to the respective
register.
T1 Timer
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family provides one general-purpose 8-bit
counter/timer, T1, driven by its own 6-bit prescaler, PRE1. The T1 counter/timer is
independent of the processor instruction sequence, which relieves software from
time-critical operations such as interval timing and event counting.
The T1 counter/timer operates in either single-pass or continuous mode. At the
end-of-count, counting either stops or the initial value is reloaded and counting
continues. Under software control, new values are loaded immediately or when
the end-of-count is reached. Software also controls the counting mode, how the
counter/timer is started or stopped, and the counter/timer’s use of I/O lines. Both
the counter and prescaler registers can be altered while the counter/timer is running.

Counter/timer 1 is driven by a timer clock generated by dividing the internal clock
by four. The divide-by-four stage, the 6-bit prescaler, and the 8-bit counter/timer
form a synchronous 16-bit divide chain. Counter/timer T1 can also be driven by an
external input (TIN) using Port P52. Port P56 can serve as a timer output (TOUT)
through which T1 or the internal clock can be output. The timer output toggles at
the end-of-count. Figure 15 is a block diagram of the counter/timer.

The counter/timer, prescaler, and associated mode registers are mapped into the

The six most significant bits (D2–D7) of PRE1 hold the prescaler count modulo, a
value from 11 to 64 decimal. The prescaler register also contains control bits that
specify T1 counting modes. These bits also indicate whether the clock source for
T1 is internal or external.
The counter/timer T1 (F2h) consists of an 8-bit down-counter, a write-only register
that holds the initial count value, and a read-only register that holds the current
count value (see Figure 15 on page 30). The initial value can range from 1 to 256
decimal (01h, 02h, ..., 00h). Figure 18 illustrates the counter/timer register.

Load and Enable Count Bits
Setting the Load bit D2 to 1 transfers the initial values in the prescaler and the
counter/timer registers into their respective down-counters. The next internal clock
resets bit D2 to 0, readying the Load bit for the next load operation. The initial values can be loaded into the down-counters at any time. If the counter/timer is running, the counter/timer continues to run and starts the count over with the initial
value. Therefore, the Load bit actually functions as a software re-trigger.
The T1 counter/timer remains at rest as long as the Enable Count bit D3 is 0. To
enable counting, the Enable Count bit D3 must be set to 1. Counting actually starts
when the Enable Count bit is written by an instruction. The first decrement occurs
four internal clock periods after the Enable Count bit has been set.
The Load and Enable Count bits can be set at the same time. For example, using
the instruction OR TMR #%0C sets both D2 and D3 of TMR to 1. The initial values of
PRE1 and T1 are loaded into their respective counters, and the count is started
after the M2T2 machine state after the operand is fetched as shown in Figure 20.

Figure 20. Starting the Count
Prescaler Operations
During counting, the programmed clock source drives the prescaler 6-bit counter.
The counter is counted down from the value specified by bits D2–D7 of the corresponding prescaler register, PRE0 or PRE1 (Figure 21). When the prescaler
counter reaches its end-of-count, the initial value is reloaded and counting continues. The prescaler never actually reaches zero. For example, if the prescaler is
set to divide by three, the count sequence is as follows:
3-2-1-3-2-1-3-2...

Figure 21. Counting Modes
When the PRE1 register is loaded with 000000 in the six most significant bits, the
prescaler divides by 64. If that number is 000001, the prescaler does not divide
and passes its clock on to T1.
Each time the prescaler reaches its end-of-count, a carry is generated, which
allows the counter/timer to decrement by one on the next timer clock input. When
T1 and PRE1 both reach their end-of-count, an interrupt request is generated—
IRQ5 for T1. Depending on the counting mode selected, the counter/timer either
comes to rest with its value at 00h (single-pass mode), or the initial value is automatically reloaded and counting continues (continuous mode). In single-pass
mode, the prescaler still continues to decrement when the timer T1 has reached
its end-of-count. The prescaler always starts from its programmed value upon
restarting the counter.
The counting modes are controlled by bit D0 of PRE1, with D0 cleared to 0 for single-pass counting mode or set to 1 for continuous mode.
The counter/timer can be stopped at any time by setting the Enable Count bit to 0
and restarted by setting the Enable Count bit back to 1. The T1 counter/timer continues its count value at the time it was stopped. The current value in the T1
counter/timer can be read at any time without affecting the counting operation.
New initial values can be written to the prescaler or the counter/timer registers at
any time. These values are transferred to their respective down-counters on the
next load operation. If the counter/timer mode is continuous, the next load occurs
on the timer clock following an end-of-count. New initial values must be written
before the load operation because the prescaler always effectively operates in
continuous count mode.
If the value loaded in the T1 register is 01h, the timer is actually not timing or
counting at all; the timer is passing the prescaler end-of-count through. Because
the prescaler is continuously running, regardless of the single-pass/continuous
mode operation, the 8-bit timer continuously times out at the rate of the prescaler
end-of-count if the T1 timer value is programmed to 01h.

The time interval (i) until end-of-count, is given by
i=txpxv
where t is 8 divided by XTAL frequency, p is the prescaler value (1 – 64), and v is
the counter/timer value (1 – 256). The prescaler and counter/timer are true divideby-n counters.
TOUT Modes
The Timer Mode register TMR (F1h) (Figure 22) is used in conjunction with the
Port 5 Mode register P5M to configure P56 for TOUT operation. In order for TOUT to
function, P56 must be defined as an output line by setting P5M bit D6 to 0. Output
is controlled by one of the counter/timers (T0 or T1) or the internal clock.

The P56 output is selected by TMR bits D7 and D6. T1 is selected by setting D7
and D6 to 1 and 0, respectively. The counter/timer TOUT mode is turned off by setting TMR bits D7 and D6 both to 0, freeing P36 to be a data output line.
TOUT is initialized to a logic 1 whenever the TMR Load bit D2 is set to 1.
At end-of-count, the interrupt request line IRQ5 clocks a toggle flip-flop. The output of this flip-flop drives the TOUT line P56. In all cases, when the counter/timer
reaches its end-of-count, TOUT toggles to its opposite state (see Figure 23). If, for
example, the counter/timer is in continuous counting mode, TOUT has a 50% duty
cycle output. You can control the duty cycle by varying the initial values after each
end-of-count.

TIN Modes
The Timer Mode register TMR (F1h) (Figure 25) is used in conjunction with the

select the TIN operation.
For T1 to start counting as a result of a TIN input, the Enable Count bit D3 in TMR
must be set to 1. When using TIN as an external clock or a gate input, the initial
values must be loaded into the down-counters by setting the Load bit D2 in TMR
to 1 before counting begins. Initial values are automatically loaded in Trigger and
Retrigger modes, so software loading is unnecessary.
Configure P52 as an input line by setting P5M bit D2 to 1.

Each High-to-Low transition on TIN generates interrupt request IRQ0, regardless
of the selected TIN mode or the enabled/disabled state of T1. IRQ0 must therefore
be masked or enabled according to the needs of the application.
External Clock Input Mode
The TIN External Clock Input mode (TMR bits D5 and D4 both set to 0) supports
the counting of external events, where an event is considered to be a High-to-Low
transition on TIN (see Figure 27) occurrence (single-pass mode) or on every nth
occurrence (continuous mode) of that event.

The TIN Gated Internal Clock mode (TMR bits D5 and D4 set to 0 and 1, respectively) measures the duration of an external event. In this mode, the T1 prescaler
is driven by the internal timer clock, gated by a High level on TIN (see Figure 28).
T1 counts while TIN is High and stops counting when TIN is Low. Interrupt request
IRQ0 is generated on the High-to-Low transition of TIN, signaling the end of the
gate input. Interrupt request IRQ5 is generated if T1 reaches its end-of-count.

Triggered Input Mode
The TIN Triggered Input mode (TMR bits D5 and D4 set to 1 and 0, respectively)
causes T1 to start counting as the result of an external event (see Figure 29). T1 is
then loaded and clocked by the internal timer clock following the first High-to-Low
transition on the TIN input. Subsequent TIN transitions do not affect T1. In the single-pass mode, the Enable bit is reset whenever T1 reaches its end-of-count. Further TIN transitions have no effect on T1 until software sets the Enable Count bit
again. In continuous mode, when T1 is triggered, counting continues until software
resets the Enable Count bit. Interrupt request IRQ5 is generated when T1 reaches
its end-of-count.

Retriggerable Input Mode
The TIN Retriggerable Input mode (TMR bits D5 and D4 both set to 1) causes T1 to

(see Figure 29). Interrupt request IRQ5 is generated if the programmed time interval (determined by T1 prescaler and counter/timer register initial values) has
elapsed since the last High-to-Low transition on TIN. In single-pass mode, the
end-of-count resets the Enable Count bit. Subsequent TIN transitions do not
cause T1 to load and start counting until software sets the Enable Count bit again.
In continuous mode, counting continues when T1 is triggered until software resets
the Enable Count bit. When enabled, each High-to-Low TIN transition causes T1 to

T8 and T16 Timer Operation
The T8 timer is a programmable 8-bit counter/timer with two 8-bit capture registers and two 8-bit load registers. The T16 timer is a programmable 16-bit counter/
timer with one 16-bit capture register pair and one 16-bit load register pair. See
Figure 30. The T8 and T16 counters/timers have two modes of operation:
PS010504-1002
•
The transmit mode is used to generate complex waveforms. There are two
submodes:
– The normal mode can be used in single-pass or modulo-N (repeating)
mode.
– The ping-pong mode is used when the T8 timer counts down, enables the
T16 timer that counts down, enabling T8, and so on, until the mode is
disabled.
•
The demodulation mode is used to capture and demodulate complex
waveforms.

T8 Transmit Mode
Before T8 is enabled, the output of T8 depends on CTR1, D1. If CTR1, D1 is 0,
T8_OUT is 1. If CTR1, D1 is 1, T8_OUT is 0.
When T8 is enabled, the output T8_OUT switches to the initial value (CTR1 D1). If
the initial value (CTR1 D1) is 0, TC8L is loaded; otherwise, TC8H is loaded into
the counter. In single-pass mode (CTR0 D6), T8 counts down to 0 and stops,
T8_OUT toggles, the time-out status bit (CTR0 D5) is set, and a time-out interrupt
can be generated if it is enabled (CTR0 D1). In modulo-N mode, upon reaching
terminal count, T8_OUT is toggled, but no interrupt is generated. Then T8 loads a
new count (if T8_OUT level is 0), TC8L is loaded; if T8_OUT is 1, TC8H is loaded.

T8 counts down to 0, toggles T8_OUT, sets the time-out status bit (CTR0 D5), and
generates an interrupt if enabled (CTR0 D1). This completes one cycle. T8 then
loads from TC8H or TC8L, according to the T8_OUT level, and repeats the cycle.
You can modify the values in TC8H or TC8L at any time.The new values take
effect when they are loaded. Do not write these registers at the time the values
are to be loaded into the counter/timer. An initial count of 1 is not allowed. An initial count of 0 causes TC8 to count from 0 to FFh to FEh. Transition from 0 to FFh
is not a time-out condition (see Figure 31).

Note: Do not use the same instructions for stopping the counter/
timers and setting the status bits. Two successive commands
are necessary—the first command for stopping counter/timers
and the second command for resetting the status bits—
because one counter/timer clock interval must complete for the
initiated event to actually occur.
T8 Demodulation Mode
Program TC8L and TC8H to FFh. After T8 is enabled, when the first edge (rising,
falling, or both, depending on CTR1 D5, D4) is detected, it starts to count down.
When a subsequent edge (rising, falling, or both, depending on CTR1 D5, D4) is
detected during counting, the current value of T8 is one’s complemented and put
into one of the capture registers. If T8 is a positive edge, data is placed in LO8. If
T8 is a negative edge, data is placed in H18. One of the edge-detect status bits
(CTR1 D1, D0) is set, and an interrupt can be generated if enabled (CTR0 D2).
Meanwhile, T8 is loaded with TC8H and starts counting again. If T8 reaches 0, the
time-out status bit (CTR0 D5) is set, and an interrupt can be generated if enabled
(CTR0 D1), and T8 continues counting from FFh (see Figure 32).

T16 Transit Mode
In normal or ping-pong mode, the output of T16, when not enabled, is dependent
on CTR1, D0. If CTR1, D0 is a 0, T16_OUT is a 1; if CTR1, D0 is a 1, T16_OUT is
0. You can force the output of T16 to either a 0 or 1, whether it is enabled or not,
by programming CTR1 D3, D2 to a 10 or 11.
When T16 is enabled, TC16H * 256 + TC16L is loaded, and T16_OUT is switched
to its initial value (CTR1 d0). When T16 counts down to 0, T16_OUT is toggled (in
normal or ping-pong mode), an interrupt is generated if enabled (CTR2 D1), and a
status bit (CTR2 D5) is set. If it is in modulo-N mode, it is loaded with TC16H * 256
+ TC16L, and the counting continues.
You can modify the values in TC16H and TC16L at any time. The new values take
effect when they are loaded. Do not load these registers at the time the values are
to be loaded into the counter/timer. An initial count of 1 is not allowed. An initial
count of 0 causes T16 to count from 0 to FFFFh to FFFEh. Transition from 0 to
FFFFh is not a time-out condition.
T16 Demodulation Mode
Program TC16L and TC16H to FFh. After T16 is enabled, when the first edge (rising, falling, or both, depending on CTR1 D5, D4) is detected, T16 captures HI16
and LO16, reloads, and begins counting.
Ping-Pong Mode
This operation mode is only valid in transmit mode. T8 and T16 must be programmed in single-pass mode (CTR0 D6, CTR2 D6), and ping-pong mode must
be programmed in CTR1 D3, D2. You can begin the operation by enabling either
T8 or T16 (CTR0 D7 or CTR2 D7). For example, if T8 is enabled, T8_OUT is set
to this initial value (CTR1 D1). According to T8_OUT’s level, TC8H or TC8L is
loaded into T8. After the terminal count is reached, T8 is disabled, and T16 is
enabled. T16_OUT switches to its initial value (CTR1 D0), data from TC16H and
TC16L is loaded, and T16 starts to count. After T16 reaches the terminal count, it
stops. T8 is enabled again, and the whole cycle repeats. Interrupts can be allowed
when T8 or T16 reaches terminal control (CTR0 D1, CTR2 D1). To stop the pingpong operation, write 00 to bits D3 and D2 or CTR1.
Note: Enabling ping-pong operation while the counters/timers are
running can cause intermittent counter/timer function. Disable
the counters/timers, then reset the status flags before starting
the ping-pong mode.

Control and Status Registers
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family has 4 I/O port registers, 33 status and
control registers, and 233 general-purpose RAM registers. The I/O port and control registers are included in the general-purpose register memory to allow any Z8
instruction to process I/O or control information directly, thus eliminating the
requirement for special I/O or control instructions. The Z8 instruction set permits
direct access to any of these 37 registers. In addition, each of the 233 generalpurpose registers can also function as an accumulator, an address pointer, or an
index register. Registers identified as “Reserved” do not exist or have not been
implemented in this design.
Register Summary
Table 10 through Table 13 summarize the name and location of all registers. The

Register Error Conditions
Registers in the Z8 Standard Register File must be used correctly because certain
conditions produce inconsistent results and must be avoided.
PS010504-1002
•
Registers F5h–F9h are write-only registers. If an attempt is made to read these
registers, FFh is returned. Reading any write-only register returns FFh.
•
When the Register Pointer (register FDH) is read, the least significant four bits
(lower nibble) indicate the current Expanded Register File Bank. (For
example, 0000 indicates the Standard Register File, while 1010 indicates
Expanded Register File Bank A.)
•
Writing to bits that are selected as timer outputs changes the I/O register but
has no effect on the pin signal.
•
The Z8 instruction DJNZ uses any general-purpose working register as a
counter.
•
Logical instructions such as OR and AND require that the current contents of
the operand be read. They do not function properly on write-only registers.

Caution:
Do not attempt to use these bits as the results are
unpredictable and meaningless.

Program Control Flag Register (Flags)
The Program Control Flag register (see Table 15) reflects the current status of the
Z8 as shown in Table 15. The FLAGS register contains six bits of status information that are set or cleared by CPU operations. Four of the bits (C, V, Z, and S) can
be tested for use with conditional jump instructions. Two flags (H and D) cannot be
tested and are used for BCD arithmetic. The two remaining flags in the register
(F1 and F2) are available to you, but they must be set or cleared by instructions
and are not usable with conditional jumps.

Z8 instructions can access registers directly or indirectly using either a 4-bit or 8bit address field. The upper nibble of the Register Pointer, as described in
Table 16, contains the base address of the active Working Register GROUP. The
lower nibble contains the base address of the Expanded Register File BANK.
When using 4-bit addressing, the 4-bit address of the working register (r0 to rF) is
combined with the upper nibble of the Register Pointer (identifying the WR
GROUP), thus forming the 8-bit actual address.

Low-Battery Detect Flag (LB)
When the Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 is used in a battery-operated application,
one of the on-chip comparators can be used to check that the VCC is at the
required level for correct operation of the device. When voltage begins to
approach the VBO point, an on-chip low-battery detection circuit is tripped, which
in turn sets a user-readable flag. The low-voltage detection level (VLB) is set to
VBO + 0.4 V. The LB register, as described in Table 18, is used to set and reset the
LB flag.

Interrupt Control Registers
The Z8 allows up to six different interrupts from a variety of sources. These interrupts can be masked and their priorities set by using the Interrupt Mask Register
and Interrupt Priority Register. The Interrupt Request Register stores the interrupt
requests for both vectored and polled interrupts.

The IMR, as described in Table 19, individually or globally enables the six interrupt
requests. Bit 7 of the IMR is the master enable and must be set before any of the
individual interrupt requests can be recognized. Bit 7 must be set and reset by the
enable interrupts and disable interrupts instructions only. The IMR is automatically
reset during an interrupt service routine and set following the execution of an

Interrupt Priority Register (IPR)
The IPR, as described in Table 20, is a write-only register that sets priorities for
the vectored interrupts in order to resolve simultaneous interrupt requests. There
are 48 sequence possibilities for interrupts. The six interrupts, IRQ0 to IRQ5, are
divided into three groups of two interrupt requests each, as follows:
•
•
•
Group A consists of IRQ3 and IRQ5
Group B consists of IRQ0 and IRQ2
Group C consists of IRQ1 and IRQ4

Whenever a power-on reset is executed, the IRQ is reset to 00h and disabled.
Before the IRQ accepts requests, it must be enabled by executing an enable interrupts instruction.
Note: IRQ is always cleared to 00h and is in read-only mode until the
first EI instruction that enables the IRQ to be read/write. Setting
the Global Interrupt Enable bit in the Interrupt Mask Register
(IMR bit 7) does not enable the IRQ. Execution of an EI
instruction is required.
For polled processing, IRQ must be initialized by an EI instruction. To properly initialize the IRQ, the following code is provided:
CLR IMR ; make sure vectored interrupts are disabled
EI
; enable IRQ, otherwise it is read only
; not necessary, if interrupts were previously
; enabled
DI
; disable interrupt handling
IMR is cleared before the IRQ enabling sequence to ensure no unexpected interrupts occur when EI is executed. This code sequence must be executed before
programming the application required values for IPR and IMR.
I/O Port Control Registers
Each of the four ports (Ports 2, 4, 5, and 6) has an input register, an output register, and an associated buffer and control logic. Because there are separate input
and output registers associated with each port, writing bits defined as inputs
stores the data in the output register. This data cannot be read as long as the bits
are defined as inputs. However, if the bits are reconfigured as output, the data
stored in the output register is reflected on the output pins and can then be read.
This mechanism allows you to initialize the outputs before driving their loads.
Port Configuration Registers (P456CON and P3M)
The port configuration register (described in Table 22) switches the comparator
inputs from digital to analog and allows Ports 4, 5, and/or 6 to be switched from
push/pull active outputs to open drain outputs. In ZiLOG Test Mode, bit 3 of this
register is used to enable the Address Strobe/Data Strobe. Bit 3 is not available in
User Mode.

Timer Control Registers—General-Purpose Timer (T1)
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family provides one standard 8-bit Z8 counter/
timer, T1, driven by its own 6-bit prescaler, PRE1. T1 is independent of the processor instruction sequence, relieving software from time-critical operations such
as interval timing or event counting. There are three registers that control the
operation of T1: T1 Data Register (T1), T1 Mode Register (TMR), and T1 Prescale
Register (PRE1). Because the timer, prescaler, and mode register are mapped
into the standard Z8 register file, the software can treat the counter/timer as a general-purpose register, thus eliminating the requirement for special instructions.

Timer Control Registers—T8 and T16 Timers
One of the unique features of the Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family is a special
timer architecture to automate the generation and reception of complex pulses or
signals. This timer architecture consists of one programmable 8-bit counter timer
with two capture registers and two load registers and a programmable 16-bit
counter/timer with one 16-bit capture register pair and one 16-bit load register pair
and their associated control registers. These counter/timers can work independently or can be combined together using a number of user-selectable modes
governed by the T8/T16 control registers.

Stop-Mode Recovery Control Registers
The Z86L972/Z86L973/Z86L974 family of products allows 16 individual I/O pins
(Ports 2 and 5) to be used as a stop-mode recovery sources. The STOP mode is
exited when one of these SMR sources is toggled.

Stop-Mode Recovery Register
The SMR register serves two functions. Bit D7 of the SMR register, as shown in
Table 48, is the Stop Mode Flag that is set upon entering stop mode. A 0 in this bit
indicates that the device has been reset by a POR or WDT Reset. A POR or WDT
Reset is sometimes referred to as a “cold” start. A 1 in bit D7 indicates that the
device was awakened by a SMR source. Waking a device with a SMR source is
sometimes referred to as a “warm” start.
The Stop Mode Recovery source can be selected by any combination of P2 and
P5 by P2SMR and P5SMR, respectively. If the pin is selected as the SMR source,
its logic level is latched into a register. A wait up signal is generated if its logic level
changes. This applies to all selected pins for the SMR source.
The comparators of P5 cannot be used as an SMR source. The comparator is
turned off in STOP mode.

Design Considerations
The Z8 uses a Pierce oscillator with an internal feedback circuit. The advantages
of this circuit are low cost, large output signal, low-power level in the crystal, stability with respect to VCC and temperature, and low impedances (not disturbed by
stray effects.)
One drawback is the requirement for high gain in the amplifier to compensate for
feedback path losses. Traces connecting crystal, capacitors, and the Z8 oscillator
pins must be as short and wide as possible. Short and wide traces reduce parasitic inductance and resistance. The components (capacitors, crystal, and resistors) must be placed as close as possible to the oscillator pins of the Z8.
The traces from the oscillator pins of the integrated circuit (IC) and the ground
side of the lead capacitors must be guarded from all other traces (clock, VCC, and
system ground) to reduce cross-talk and noise injection. Guarding the traces is
usually accomplished by keeping other traces and system ground trace planes
away from the oscillator circuit and by placing a Z8 device VSS ground ring around
the traces/components. The ground side of the oscillator lead capacitors must be
connected to a single trace to the Z8 VSS (GND) pin. It must not be shared with
any other system ground trace or components except at the Z8 device VSS pin.
Not sharing the ground side of the oscillator lead capacitors is to prevent differential system ground noise injection into the oscillator.
