GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADuC812 is a fully integrated 12-bit data acquisition system
incorporating a high performance self calibrating multichannel
ADC, dual DAC and programmable 8-bit MCU (8051 instruc­tion set compatible) on a single chip.

The programmable 8051-compatible core is supported by 8K
bytes Flash/EE program memory, 640 bytes Flash/EE data
memory and 256 bytes data SRAM on-chip.

Additional MCU support functions include Watchdog Timer,
Power Supply Monitor and ADC DMA functions. 32 Pro­grammable I/O lines, SPI and Standard UART Serial Port I/O
are provided for multiprocessor interfaces and I/O expansion.

Normal, idle, and power-down operating modes for both the
MCU core and analog converters allow for flexible power man­agement schemes suited to low power applications. The part is
specified for 3 V and 5 V operation over the industrial tem­perature range and is available in a 52-lead, plastic quad
flatpack package.

NOTES

1

Specifications apply after calibration.

2

Temperature range –40°C to +85°C.

3

Linearity is guaranteed during normal MicroConverter Core operation.

4

Linearity may degrade when programming or erasing the 640 Byte Flash/EE space during ADC conversion times due to on-chip charge pump activity.

5

Measured in production at VDD = 5 V after Software Calibration Routine at 25°C only.

6

User may need to execute Software Calibration Routine to achieve these specifications, which are configuration dependent.

7

The offset and gain calibration spans are defined as the voltage range of user system offset and gain errors that the ADuC812 can compensate.

8

SNR calculation includes distortion and noise components.

9

Specification is not production tested, but is supported by characterization data at initial product release.

10

The temperature sensor will give a measure of the die temperature directly; air temperature can be inferred from this result.

11

DAC linearity is calculated using:

reduced code range of 48 to 4095, 0 to V
reduced code range of 48 to 3995, 0 to VDD range
DAC output load = 10 kΩ and 50 pF.

12

Flash/EE Memory Performance Specifications are qualified as per JEDEC Specification (Data Retention) and JEDEC Draft Specification A117 (Endurance).

13

Endurance Cycling is evaluated under the following conditions:

Mode = Byte Programming, Page Erase Cycling
Cycle Pattern = 00Hex to FFHex
Erase Time = 20 ms
Program Time = 100 µs

14

IDD at other MCLKIN frequencies is typically given by:

Normal Mode (VDD = 5 V): IDD = (1.6 nAs × MCLKIN) + 6 mA
Normal Mode (VDD = 3 V): IDD = (0.8 nAs × MCLKIN) + 3 mA
Idle Mode (VDD = 5 V): IDD = (0.75 nAs × MCLKIN) + 6 mA
Idle Mode (VDD = 3 V): IDD = (0.25 nAs × MCLKIN) + 3 mA
Where MCLKIN is the oscillator frequency in MHz and resultant IDD values are in mA.

15

IDD Currents are expressed as a summation of analog and digital power supply currents during normal MicroConverter operation.

16

IDD is not measured during Flash/EE program or erase cycles; IDD will typically increase by 10 mA during these cycles.

17

Analog IDD = 2 mA (typ) in normal operation (internal V

18

EA = Port0 = DVDD, XTAL1 (Input) tied to DVDD, during this measurement.

Typical specifications are not production tested, but are supported by characterization data at initial product release.

CAUTION

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADuC812 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

PSEN O Program Store Enable, Logic Output. This output is a control signal that enables the external program

memory to the bus during external fetch operations. It is active every six oscillator periods except during
external data memory accesses. This pin remains high during internal program execution. PSEN can also be
used to enable serial download mode when pulled low through a resistor on power-up or RESET.

ALE O Address Latch Enable, Logic Output. This output is used to latch the low byte (and page byte for 24-bit

address space accesses) of the address into external memory during normal operation. It is activated every
six oscillator periods except during an external data memory access.

EA I External Access Enable, Logic Input. When held high, this input enables the device to fetch code from

internal program memory locations 0000H to 1FFFH. When held low this input enables the device to fetch
all instructions from external program memory.

P0.7–P0.0 I/O Port 0 is an 8-Bit Open Drain Bidirectional I/O port. Port 0 pins that have 1s written to them float and in

bus during accesses to external program or data memory. In this application it uses strong internal pull-ups
when emitting 1s.

TERMINOLOGY
ADC SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity

This is the maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point
1/2 LSB below the first code transition and full-scale, a point
1/2 LSB above the last code transition.

Differential Nonlinearity

This is the difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.

Offset Error

This is the deviation of the first code transition (0000 . . . 000)
to (0000 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., +1/2 LSB.

Full-Scale Error

This is the deviation of the last code transition from the ideal
AIN voltage (Full-Scale – 1.5 LSB) after the offset error has
been adjusted out.

Signal to (Noise + Distortion) Ratio

This is the measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the A/D converter. The signal is the rms amplitude of
the fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental
signals up to half the sampling frequency (f

/2), excluding dc.

S

The ratio is dependent upon the number of quantization levels
in the digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quan­tization noise. The theoretical signal to (noise + distortion) ratio
for an ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by:

Signal to (Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB

Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.

Total Harmonic Distortion

Total Harmonic Distortion is the ratio of the rms sum of the
harmonics to the fundamental.

DAC SPECIFICATIONS
Relative Accuracy

Relative accuracy or endpoint linearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
adjusting for zero error and full-scale error.

Voltage Output Settling Time

This is the amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a
specified level for a full-scale input change.

Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse

This is the amount of charge injected into the analog output
when the inputs change state. It is specified as the area of the
glitch in nV sec.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION

As with all 8052-compatible devices, the ADuC812 has separate
address spaces for Program and Data memory as shown in Fig­ure 1. Also as shown in Figure 1, an additional 640 Bytes of
User Data Flash EEPROM are available to the user. The User
Data Flash Memory area is accessed indirectly via a group of
control registers mapped in the Special Function Register (SFR)
area in the Data Memory Space.

The SFR space is mapped in the upper 128 bytes of internal data
memory space. The SFR area is accessed by direct addressing
only and provides an interface between the CPU and all on-chip
peripherals. A block diagram showing the programming model
of the ADuC812 via the SFR area is shown in Figure 3.

The lower 128 bytes of internal data memory are mapped as
shown in Figure 2. The lowest 32 bytes are grouped into four
banks of eight registers addressed as R0 through R7. The next

bit addressable memory space at bit addresses 00H through 7FH.

OVERVIEW OF MCU-RELATED SFRs
Accumulator SFR

ACC is the Accumulator register and is used for math opera­tions including addition, subtraction, integer multiplication and
division, and Boolean bit manipulations. The mnemonics for
accumulator-specific instructions refer to the Accumulator as A.

B SFR

The B register is used with the ACC for multiplication and
division operations. For other instructions it can be treated as a
general-purpose scratchpad register.

Stack Pointer SFR

The SP register is the stack pointer and is used to hold an inter­nal RAM address that is called the “top of the stack.” The SP
register is incremented before data is stored during PUSH and
CALL executions. While the Stack may reside anywhere in
on-chip RAM, the SP register is initialized to 07H after a reset.
This causes the stack to begin at location 08H.

Data Pointer

The Data Pointer is made up of three 8-bit registers, named
DPP (page byte), DPH (high byte) and DPL (low byte). These
are used to provide memory addresses for internal and external
code access and external data access. It may be manipulated as a
16-bit register (DPTR = DPH, DPL), although INC DPTR
instructions will automatically carry over to DPP, or as three
independent 8-bit registers (DPP, DPH, DPL).

Program Status Word SFR

The PSW register is the Program Status Word which contains
several bits reflecting the current status of the CPU as detailed
in Table I.

SFR Address D0H
Power ON Default Value 00H
Bit Addressable Yes

Power Control SFR

The Power Control (PCON) register contains bits for power­saving options and general-purpose status flags as shown in
Table II.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS

All registers except the program counter and the four general purpose register banks, reside in the special function register (SFR) area.
The SFR registers include control, configuration and data registers that provide an interface between the CPU and other on-chip
peripherals.

Figure 4 shows a full SFR memory map and SFR contents on Reset. Unoccupied SFR locations are shown dark-shaded in the figure
below (NOT USED). Unoccupied locations in the SFR address space are not implemented i.e., no register exists at this location. If
an unoccupied location is read, an unspecified value is returned. SFR locations reserved for on chip testing are shown lighter shaded
below (RESERVED) and should not be accessed by user software. Sixteen of the SFR locations are also bit addressable and denoted

‘1’

by

in the figure below, i.e., the bit addressable SFRs are those whose address ends in 0H or 8H.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
General Overview

The ADC conversion block incorporates a fast, 8-channel,
12-bit, single supply A/D converter. This block provides the
user with multichannel mux, track/hold, on-chip reference,
calibration features and A/D converter. All components in this
block are easily configured via a 3-register SFR interface.

The A/D converter consists of a conventional successive­approximation converter based around a capacitor DAC. The
converter accepts an analog input range of 0 to +V

REF

. A high
precision, low drift and factory calibrated 2.5 V reference is
provided on-chip. The internal reference may be overdriven via

Single step or continuous conversion modes can be initiated in
software or alternatively by applying a convert signal to the an
external pin. Timer 2 can also be configured to generate a repeti­tive trigger for ADC conversions. The ADC may be configured
to operate in a DMA Mode whereby the ADC block continu­ously converts and captures samples to an external RAM space
without any interaction from the MCU core. This automatic
capture facility can extend through a 16 MByte external Data
Memory space.

The ADuC812 is shipped with factory programmed calibration
coefficients which are automatically downloaded to the ADC on
power-up ensuring optimum ADC performance. The ADC core
contains internal Offset and Gain calibration registers. A
software calibration routine is provided to allow the user to
overwrite the factory programmed calibration coefficients if
required, thus minimizing the impact of endpoint errors in the
user’s target system.

A voltage output from an On-Chip bandgap reference propor­tional to absolute temperature can also be routed through the
front end ADC multiplexor (effectively a 9th ADC channel
input) facilitating a temperature sensor implementation.

ADC Transfer Function

The analog input range for the ADC is 0 V to V

. For this

REF

range, the designed code transitions occur midway between
successive integer LSB values (i.e., 1/2 LSB, 3/2 LSBs,
5/2 LSBs . . . FS –3/2 LSBs). The output coding is straight
binary with 1 LSB = FS/4096 or 2.5 V/4096 = 0.61 mV when

= 2.5 V. The ideal input/output transfer characteristic for

Driving the A/D Converter

The ADC incorporates a successive approximation (SAR) archi­tecture involving a charge-sampled input stage. Figure 7 shows
the equivalent circuit of the analog input section. Each ADC
conversion is divided into two distinct phases as defined by the
position of the switches in Figure 7. During the sampling phase
(with SW1 and SW2 in the “track” position) a charge propor­tional to the voltage on the analog input is developed across the
input sampling capacitor. During the conversion phase (with
both switches in the “hold” position) the capacitor DAC is
adjusted via internal SAR logic until the voltage on node A is
zero indicating that the sampled charge on the input capacitor is
balanced out by the charge being output by the capacitor DAC.
The digital value finally contained in the SAR is then latched
out as the result of the ADC conversion. Control of the SAR,
and timing of acquisition and sampling modes, is handled
automatically by built-in ADC control logic. Acquisition and
conversion times are also fully configurable under user control.

Note that whenever a new input channel is selected, a residual
charge from the 2 pF sampling capacitor places a transient on
the newly selected input. The signal source must be capable of
recovering from this transient before the sampling switches click
into “hold” mode. Delays can be inserted in software (between
channel selection and conversion request) to account for input
stage settling, but a hardware solution will alleviate this burden
from the software design task and will ultimately result in a
cleaner system implementation. One hardware solution would
be to choose a very fast settling op amp to drive each analog
input. Such an op amp would need to settle fully from a small
signal transient in less than 300 ns to guarantee adequate settling
under all software configurations. A better solution, recommended
for use with any amplifier, is shown in Figure 8.

Though at first glance the circuit in Figure 8 may look like a
simple antialiasing filter, it actually serves no such purpose since
its corner frequency is well above the Nyquist frequency, even at
a 200 kHz sample rate. Though the R/C does helps to reject some
incoming high-frequency noise, its primary function is to ensure
that the transient demands of the ADC input stage are met. It

does so by providing a capacitive bank from which the 2 pF sam­pling capacitor can draw its charge. Since the 0.01 µF capacitor
in Figure 8 is more than 4096 times the size of the 2 pF sam­pling capacitor, its voltage will not change by more than one
count (1/4096) of the 12-bit transfer function when the 2 pF
charge from a previous channel is dumped onto it. A larger
capacitor can be used if desired, but not a larger resistor (for
reasons described below).

The Schottky diodes in Figure 8 may be necessary to limit the
voltage applied to the analog input pin as per the data sheet
absolute maximum ratings. They are not necessary if the op
amp is powered from the same supply as the ADuC812 since
in that case, the op amp is unable to generate voltages above

or below ground. An op amp is necessary unless the signal

V

DD

source is very low impedance to begin with. DC leakage currents
at the ADuC812’s analog inputs can cause measurable dc errors
with external source impedances of as little as 100 Ω. To ensure
accurate ADC operation, keep the total source impedance at each
analog input less than 61 Ω. The table below illustrates examples
of how source impedance can affect dc accuracy.

Source Error from 1 µA Error from 10 µA
Impedance Leakage Current Leakage Current
61 Ω 61 µV = 0.1 LSB 610 µV = 1 LSB
610 Ω 610 µV = 1 LSB 6.1 mV = 10 LSB

Although Figure 8 shows the op amp operating at a gain of 1,
you can configure it for any gain needed. Also, you can use an
instrumentation amplifier in its place to condition differential
signals. Use any modern amplifier that is capable of delivering
the signal (0 to V

) with minimal saturation. Some single-supply,

REF

rail-to-rail op amps that are useful for this purpose include, but
are not limited to, the ones given in Table VI. Check Analog
Devices literature (CD ROM data book, etc.) for details about
these and other op amps and instrumentation amps.

Keep in mind that the ADC’s transfer function is 0 to V

, and
any signal range lost to amplifier saturation near ground will
impact dynamic range. Though the op amps in Table VI are
capable of delivering output signals very closely approaching
ground, no amplifier can deliver signals all the way to ground when
powered by a single supply. Therefore, if a negative supply is
available, consider using it to power the front-end amplifiers.

However, be sure to include the Schottky diodes shown in
Figure 8 (or at least the lower of the two diodes) to protect the
analog input from undervoltage conditions. To summarize this
section, use the circuit of Figure 8 to drive the analog input pins
of the ADuC812.

Voltage Reference Connections

The on-chip 2.5 V bandgap voltage reference can be used as the
reference source for the ADC and DACs. To ensure the accuracy
of the voltage reference decouple both the V

pin and the C

and C

The internal voltage reference can also be tapped directly from
the V

pin if desired, to drive external circuitry. However, a

REF

buffer must be used to ensure that no current is drawn from the

pin itself. The voltage on the C

V

REF

pin is that of an internal

REF

node within the buffer block, and its voltage is critical to ADC
and DAC accuracy. Do not connect anything to this pin except
the capacitor, and be sure to keep trace-lengths short on the

capacitor, decoupling the node straight to the underlying

C

REF

ground plane.

The ADuC812 powers up with its internal voltage reference in the
“off” state. The voltage reference turns on automatically whenever
the ADC or either DAC gets enabled in software. Once enabled,
the voltage reference requires approximately 65 ms to power up
and settle to its specified value. Be sure that your software allows
this time to elapse before initiating any conversions. If an external
voltage reference is preferred, connect it to the V

pin as shown

REF

in Figure 10 to overdrive the internal reference.

To ensure accurate ADC operation, the voltage applied to V

REF

must be between 2.3 V and AVDD. In situations where analog
input signals are proportional to the power supply (such as some
strain-gage applications) it can be desirable to connect the V

REF

pin directly to AVDD. In such a configuration, the user must also
connect the C

pin directly to AVDD to circumvent internal

REF

buffer headroom limitations. This allows the ADC input trans­fer function to span the full range 0 to AV

accurately.

DD

Operation of the ADC or DACs with a reference voltage below

2.3 V, however, may incur loss of accuracy resulting in missing
codes or nonmonotonicity. For that reason, do not use a reference
voltage less than 2.3 V.

Configuring the ADC

The three SFRs (ADCCON1, ADCCON2, ADCCON3) con­figure the ADC. In nearly all cases, an acquisition time of 1
ADC clock (ADCCON1.2 = 0, ADCCON1.3 = 0) will provide
plenty of time for the ADuC812 to acquire its signal before
switching the internal track and hold amplifier in to hold mode.
The only exception would be a high source impedance analog
input, but these should be buffered first anyway since source
impedances of greater than 610 Ω can cause dc errors as well.

The ADuC812’s successive approximation ADC is driven by a
divided down version of the master clock. To ensure adequate
ADC operation, this ADC clock must be between 400 kHz and
4 MHz, and optimum performance is obtained with ADC clock
between 400 kHz and 3 MHz. Frequencies within this range can
be achieved with master clock frequencies from 400 kHz to well
above 16 MHz with the four ADC clock divide ratios to choose
from. For example, with a 12 MHz master clock, set the ADC
clock divide ratio to 4 (i.e., ADCCLK = MCLK/4 = 3 MHz) by
setting the appropriate bits in ADCCON1 (ADCCON1.5 = 1,
ADCCON1.4 = 0).

The total ADC conversion time is 15 ADC clocks, plus 1 ADC
clock for synchronization, plus the selected acquisition time
(1, 2, 3, or 4 ADC clocks). For the example above, with a 1 clock
acquisition time, total conversion time is 17 ADC clocks (or 5.67 µs
for a 3 MHz ADC clock).

In continuous conversion mode, a new conversion begins each
time the previous one finishes. The sample rate is the inverse of the
total conversion time described above. In the example above, the
continuous conversion mode sample rate would be 176.5 kHz.

ADC DMA Mode

The on-chip ADC has been designed to run at a maximum
conversion speed of 5 µs (200 kHz sampling rate). When con-
verting at this rate the ADuC812 micro has 5 µs to read the
ADC result and store the result in memory for further post
processing all within 5 µs otherwise the next ADC sample could
be lost. In an interrupt driven routine the micro would also have
to jump to the ADC Interrupt Service routine which will also
increase the time required to store the ADC results. In applica­tions where the ADuC812 cannot sustain the interrupt rate, an
ADC DMA mode is provided.

To enable DMA mode, Bit 6 in ADCCON2 (DMA) must be set.
This allows the ADC results to be written directly to a 16 MByte
external static memory SRAM (mapped into data memory space)

–16–

REV. C

ADuC812

without any interaction from the ADuC812 core. This mode
allows the ADuC812 to capture a contiguous sample stream at
full ADC update rates (200 kHz).

DMA Mode Configuration Example

To set the ADuC812 into DMA mode, a number of steps must
be followed.

1. The ADC must be powered down by setting MD1 and MD0
to 0 in ADCCON1.

2. The DMA Address pointer must be set to the start address of
where the ADC Results are to be written. This is done by
writing to the DMA mode Address Pointers DMAL, DMAH,
and DMAP. DMAL must be written to first, followed by
DMAH and then by DMAP.

3. The external memory must be preconfigured. This consists of
writing the required ADC channel IDs into the top four bits of
every second memory location in the external SRAM starting
at the first address specified by the DMA address pointer. As the
ADC DMA mode operates independently of the ADuC812
core, it is necessary to provide it with a stop command. This
is done by duplicating the last channel ID to be converted fol­lowed by “1111” into the next channel selection field. Figure 11
shows a typical preconfiguration of external memory.

4. The DMA is initiated by writing to the ADC SFRs in the

following sequence.

a. ADCCON2 is written to enable the DMA mode. i.e.,

MOV ADCCON2, #40H; DMA Mode enabled.

b. ADCCON1 is written to configure the conversion time and

power up of the ADC. It can also enable Timer 2 driven
conversions or External Triggered conversions if required.

c. ADC conversions are initiated. This is done by starting

single/continuous conversions, starting Timer 2 running
for Timer 2 conversions or by receiving an external trigger.

When the DMA conversions are completed, the ADC interrupt
bit ADCI is set by hardware and the external SRAM contains the
new ADC conversion results as shown in Figure 12. It should be
noted that no result is written to the last two memory locations.

When the DMA mode logic is active it is responsible for storing
the ADC results away from both the user and ADuC812 core
logic. As it writes the results of the ADC conversions to external
memory, it takes over the external memory interface from the core.
Thus, any core instructions that access the external memory
while DMA mode is enabled will not get access to it. The core
will execute the instructions and they will take the same time to
execute, but they will not gain access to the external memory.

ADC DMA Operation

The DMA logic operates from the ADC clock and uses

pipe­lining to perform the ADC conversions and access the external
memory at the same time. The time it takes to perform one
ADC conversion is called a DMA cycle. The actions performed
by the logic during a typical DMA cycle are shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13. DMA Cycle

From the previous diagram, it can be seen that during one DMA
cycle the following actions are performed by the DMA logic.

1. An ADC conversion is performed on the channel whose ID

was read during the previous cycle.

2. The 12-bit result and the channel ID of the conversion per-

formed in the previous cycle is written to the external memory.

3. The ID of the next channel to be converted is read from

external memory.

For the previous example, the complete flow of events is shown
in Figure 13. Because the DMA logic uses pipe-lining, it takes
three cycles before the first correct result is written out.

Micro Operation during ADC DMA Mode

During ADC DMA mode, the MicroConverter core is free to
continue code execution, including general housekeeping and
communication tasks. However, it should be noted that MCU core
accesses to Ports 0 and 2 (which are being used by the DMA
controller) are gated “OFF” during ADC DMA mode of operation.
This means that even though the instruction that accesses the
external Ports 0 or 2 will appear to execute, no data will be seen
at these external Ports as a result.

The MicroConverter core can be configured with an interrupt
to be triggered by the DMA controller when it has finished
filling the requested block of RAM with ADC results, allowing
the service routine for this interrupt to post process data without
any real-time timing constraints.

The Offset and Gain Calibration Coefficients

The ADuC812 has two ADC calibration coefficients, one for offset
calibration and one for gain calibration. Both the offset and gain
calibration coefficients are 14-bit words, located in the Special
Function Register (SFR) area. The offset calibration coefficient
is divided into ADCOFSH (6 bits) and ADCOFSL (8 bits) and
