GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuC834 is a complete smart transducer front end,
integrating two high resolution - ADCs, an 8-bit MCU, and
program/data Flash/EE memory on a single chip.
The two independent ADCs (primary and auxiliary) include a
temperature sensor and a PGA (allowing direct measurement of
low level signals). The ADCs with on-chip digital filtering and
programmable output data rates are intended for the measurement
of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals, such as those in
weigh scale, strain-gage, pressure transducer, or temperature
measurement applications.
The device operates from a 32 kHz crystal with an on-chip PLL
generating a high frequency clock of 12.58 MHz. This clock is
routed through a programmable clock divider from which the MCU
core clock operating frequency is generated. The microcontroller
core is an 8052 and therefore 8051 instruction set compatible
with 12 core clock periods per machine cycle.
62 Kbytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory, 4 Kbytes of
nonvolatile Flash/EE data memory, and 2304 bytes of data RAM
are provided on-chip. The program memory can be configured
as data memory to give up to 60 Kbytes of NV data memory in
data logging applications.
On-chip factory firmware supports in-circuit serial download and
debug modes (via UART), as well as single-pin emulation mode
via the EA pin. The ADuC834 is supported by a QuickStart™
development system featuring low cost software and hardware
development tools.

NOTES
1
Temperature Range for ADuC834BS (MQFP package) is –40°C to +125°C.
Temperature Range for ADuC834BCP (CSP package) is –40°C to +85°C.
2
These numbers are not production tested but are guaranteed by design and/or characterization data on production release.
3
System Zero-Scale Calibration can remove this error.
4
The primary ADC is factory calibrated at 25°C with AVDD = DVDD = 5 V yielding this full-scale error of 10 V. If user power supply or temperature conditions are
significantly different from these, an Internal Full-Scale Calibration will restore this error to 10 V. A system zero-scale and full-scale calibration will remove this
error altogether.
5
Gain Error Drift is a span drift. To calculate Full-Scale Error Drift, add the Offset Error Drift to the Gain Error Drift times the full-scale input.
6
The auxiliary ADC is factory calibrated at 25°C with AVDD = DVDD = 5 V yielding this full-scale error of –2.5 LSB. A system zero-scale and full-scale calibration
will remove this error altogether.
7
DAC linearity and ac specifications are calculated using: reduced code range of 48 to 4095, 0 to V
8
Gain Error is a measure of the span error of the DAC.

Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 55°C as per JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6eV
will derate with junction temperature as shown in Figure 16 in the Flash/EE Memory section of this data sheet.
18
Power Supply current consumption is measured in Normal, Idle, and Power-Down modes under the following conditions:
Normal mode: Reset = 0.4 V, Digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON, Core Executing internal software loop.
Idle mode: Reset = 0.4 V, Digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON, PCON.0 = 1, Core Execution suspended in idle mode.
Power-Down mode: Reset = 0.4 V, All P0 pins and P1.2–P1.7 Pins = 0.4 V, All other digital I/O pins are open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in
PLLCON, PCON.1 = 1, Core Execution suspended in power-down mode, OSC turned ON or OFF via OSC_PD bit (PLLCON.7) in PLLCON SFR.
19
DVDD power supply current will increase typically by 3 mA (3 V operation) and 10 mA (5 V operation) during a Flash/EE memory program or erase cycle.

(A16–A23)be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins being pulled externally low will source current
because of the internal pull-up resistors.
Port 2 emits the high order address bytes during fetches from external program memory
and middle and high order address bytes during accesses to the 24-bit external data
memory space.

4043EAI/OExternal Access Enable, Logic Input. When held high, this input enables the device
to fetch code from internal program memory locations 0000h to F7FFh. When held
low, this input enables the device to fetch all instructions from external program
memory. To determine the mode of code execution, i.e., internal or external, the
EA pin is sampled at the end of an external RESET assertion or as part of a device
power cycle. EA may also be used as an external emulation I/O pin, and therefore
the voltage level at this pin must not be changed during normal mode operation
as it may cause an emulation interrupt that will halt code execution.
4144PSENOProgram 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 at the end of an external RESET assertion or as part of a device power cycle.
4245ALEOAddress Latch Enable, Logic Output. This output is used to latch the low byte (and
page byte for 24-bit data address space accesses) of the address to external memory
during external code or data memory access cycles. It is activated every six oscillator
periods except during an external data memory access. It can be disabled by setting
the PCON.4 bit in the PCON SFR.

49–5252–55(AD0–AD3)I/O port. Port 0 pins that have 1s written to them float and in that state can be used
(AD4–AD7)as high impedance inputs. An external pull-up resistor will be required on P0 outputs
to force a valid logic high level externally. Port 0 is also the multiplexed low-order
address and databus during accesses to external program or data memory. In this
application, it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The ADuC834 contains four different memory blocks, namely:
• 62 Kbytes of On-Chip Flash/EE Program Memory
• 4 Kbytes of On-Chip Flash/EE Data Memory
• 256 bytes of General-Purpose RAM
• 2 Kbytes of Internal XRAM
(1) Flash/EE Program Memory
The ADuC834 provides 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program
memory to run user code. The user can choose to run code from
this internal memory or run code from an external program
memory.
If the user applies power or resets the device while the EA pin is
pulled low externally, the part will execute code from the external
program space; otherwise, if EA is pulled high externally, the
part defaults to code execution from its internal 62 Kbytes of
Flash/EE program memory.
Unlike the ADuC824, where code execution can overflow from
the internal code space to external code space once the PC
becomes greater than 1FFFH, the ADuC834 does not support
the rollover from F7FFH in internal code space to F800H in
external code space. Instead, the 2048 bytes between F800H
and FFFFH will appear as NOP instructions to user code.
Permanently embedded firmware allows code to be serially
downloaded to the 62 Kbytes of internal code space via the
UART serial port while the device is in-circuit. No external
hardware is required.

4
Kbytes
of Flash/EE Data Memory are available to the user
and can be accessed indirectly via a group of registers mapped
into the Special Function Register (SFR) area. Access to the
Flash/EE Data memory is discussed in detail later as part of the
Flash/EE Memory section in this data sheet.
(3) General-Purpose RAM
The general-purpose RAM is divided into two separate memories,
namely the upper and the lower 128 bytes of RAM. The lower
128 bytes of RAM can be accessed through direct or indirect
addressing; the upper 128 bytes of RAM can only be accessed
through indirect addressing as it shares the same address space
as the SFR space, which can only be accessed through direct
addressing.
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
GENERAL NOTES PERTAINING TO THIS DATA SHEET
1. SET implies a Logic 1 state and CLEARED implies a Logic 0 state unless
otherwise stated.
2. SET and CLEARED also imply that the bit is set or automatically cleared by
the ADuC834 hardware unless otherwise stated.
3. User software should not write 1s to reserved or unimplemented bits as they may
be used in future products.
4. Any pin numbers used throughout this data sheet refer to the 52-lead MQFP
package, unless otherwise stated.
REV. A
16 bytes (128 bits), locations 20H through 2FH above the register
banks, form a block of directly addressable bit locations at bit
addresses 00H through 7FH. The stack can be located anywhere
in the internal memory address space, and the stack depth can
be expanded up to 2048 bytes.
Reset initializes the stack pointer to location 07H. Any CALL
or PUSH pre-increments the SP before loading the stack.
Therefore, loading the stack starts from locations 08H, which is
also the first register (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if one is
going to use more than one register bank, the stack pointer should
be initialized to an area of RAM not used for data storage.

(4) Internal XRAM

memory. This memory, although on-chip, is accessed via the
MOVX instruction. The 2 Kbytes of internal XRAM are
mapped into the bottom 2

ADuC834
When accessing the internal XRAM, the P0 and P2 port pins,
as well as the RD and WR strobes, will not be output as per a
standard 8051 MOVX instruction. This allows the user to use
these port pins as standard I/O.
The upper 1792 bytes of the internal XRAM can be configured
to be used as an extended 11-bit stack pointer. By default, the
stack will operate exactly like an 8052 in that it will roll over from
FFH to 00H in the general-purpose RAM. On the ADuC834
however, it is possible (by setting CFG834.7) to enable the 11-bit
extended stack pointer. In this case, the stack will roll over from
FFH in RAM to 0100H in XRAM. The 11-bit stack pointer is
visible in the SP and SPH SFRs. The SP SFR is located at 81H
as with a standard 8052. The SPH SFR is located at B7H. The
3 LSBs of this SFR contain the three extra bits necessary to extend
the 8-bit stack pointer into an 11-bit stack pointer.

External Data Memory (External XRAM)
Just like a standard 8051 compatible core, the ADuC834 can
access external data memory using a MOVX instruction. The
MOVX instruction automatically outputs the various control
strobes required to access the data memory.
The ADuC834 however, can access up to 16 Mbytes of external
data memory. This is an enhancement of the 64 Kbytes external
data memory space available on a standard 8051 compatible core.
The external data memory is discussed in more detail in the
ADuC834 Hardware Design Considerations section.
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFRS)
The SFR space is mapped into the upper 128 bytes of internal
data memory space and accessed by direct addressing only. It
provides an interface between the CPU and all on-chip peripherals. A block diagram showing the programming model of the
ADuC834 via the SFR area is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Programming Model
All registers, except the Program Counter (PC) and the four
general-purpose register banks, reside in the SFR area. The SFR
registers include control, configuration, and data registers that
provide an interface between the CPU and all on-chip peripherals.
Accumulator SFR (ACC)
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 accumulatorspecific instructions refer to the Accumulator as A.
B SFR (B)
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.
Data Pointer (DPTR)
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).
The ADuC834 supports dual data pointers. Refer to the Dual
Data Pointer section in this data sheet.
REV. A–14–
ADuC834
Stack Pointer (SP and SPH)
The SP SFR 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.
As mentioned earlier, the ADuC834 offers an extended 11-bit
stack pointer. The three extra bits to make up the 11-bit stack
pointer are the 3 LSBs of the SPH byte located at B7H.
Program Status Word (PSW)

of the CPU as detailed in Table I.

the ADuC834 from power-down at regular intervals. To use the
TIC to wake up the ADuC834 from power-down, the OSC_PD
bit in the PLLCON SFR must be clear and the TIC must be
enabled.

NOTES
1. Any change to the MD bits will immediately reset both ADCs. A write to the MD2–0 Bits with no change is also treated as a reset. (See exception to this in Note 3 below.)
2. If ADC0CON is written when ADC0EN = 1, or if ADC0EN is changed from 0 to 1, then both ADCs are also immediately reset. In other words, the primary ADC
is given priority over the auxiliary ADC and any change requested on the primary ADC is immediately responded to.
3. On the other hand, if ADC1CON is written or if ADC1EN is changed from 0 to 1, only the auxiliary ADC is reset. For example, if the primary ADC is continuously
converting when the auxiliary ADC change or enable occurs, the primary ADC continues undisturbed. Rather than allow the auxiliary ADC to operate with a phase
difference from the primary ADC, the auxiliary ADC will fall into step with the outputs of the primary ADC. The result is that the first conversion time for the
auxiliary ADC will be delayed up to three outputs while the auxiliary ADC update rate is synchronized to the primary ADC.
4. Once ADCMODE has been written with a calibration mode, the RDY0/1 bits (ADCSTAT) are immediately reset and the calibration commences. On completion,
the appropriate calibration registers are written, the relevant bits in ADCSTAT are written, and the MD2–0 bits are reset to 000 to indicate the ADC is back in
power-down mode.
5. Any calibration request of the auxiliary ADC while the temperature sensor is selected will fail to complete. Although the RDY1 bit will be set at the end of the
calibration cycle, no update of the calibration SFRs will take place and the ERR1 bit will be set.
6. Calibrations are performed at maximum SF (see SF SFR) value guaranteeing optimum calibration operation.

PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ADC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Overview
The ADuC834 incorporates two independent - ADCs (primary
and auxiliary) with on-chip digital filtering intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals such as those
in weigh-scale, strain gage, pressure transducer, or temperature
measurement applications.
Primary ADC
This ADC is intended to convert the primary sensor input. The
input is buffered and can be programmed for one of eight input
ranges from ±20 mV to ± 2.56 V being driven from one of three
differential input channel options AIN1/2, AIN3/4, or AIN3/2.
The input channel is internally buffered, allowing the part to
handle significant source impedances on the analog input and

allowing R/C filtering (for noise rejection or RFI reduction) to be
placed on the analog inputs if required. On-chip burnout currents
can also be turned on. These currents can be used to check that
a transducer on the selected channel is still operational before
attempting to take measurements.
The ADC employs a - conversion technique to realize up to
24 bits of no missing codes performance. The - modulator con-
verts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse train whose duty
cycle contains the digital information. A Sinc
3
programmable lowpass filter is then employed to decimate the modulator output data
stream to give a valid data conversion result at programmable
output rates from 5.35 Hz (186.77 ms) to 105.03 Hz (9.52 ms).
A chopping scheme is also employed to minimize ADC offset errors.

Auxiliary ADC
The auxiliary ADC is intended to convert supplementary inputs
such as those from a cold junction diode or thermistor. This ADC
is not buffered and has a fixed input range of 0 V to 2.5 V
(assuming an external 2.5 V reference). The single-ended inputs
can be driven from AIN3, AIN4, or AIN5 Pins, or directly from
the on-chip temperature sensor voltage. A block diagram of the
auxiliary ADC is shown in Figure 8.
Analog Input Channels
The primary ADC has four associated analog input pins (labelled
AIN1 to AIN4) that can be configured as two fully differential input
channels. Channel selection bits in the ADC0CON SFR detailed
in Table VI allow three combinations of differential pair selection
as well as an additional shorted input option (AIN2–AIN2).

The output of the primary ADC multiplexer feeds into a high
impedance input stage of the buffer amplifier. As a result, the primary ADC inputs can handle significant source impedances and
are tailored for direct connection to external resistive-type sensors
like strain gages or Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs).
The auxiliary ADC, however, is unbuffered, resulting in higher
analog input current on the auxiliary ADC. It should be noted
that this unbuffered input path provides a dynamic load to the
driving source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on
the input pins can cause dc gain errors depending on the output
impedance of the source that is driving the ADC inputs.
Analog Input Ranges
The absolute input voltage range on the primary ADC is restricted
to between AGND + 100 mV to AVDD – 100 mV. Care must be
taken in setting up the common-mode voltage and input voltage
range so that these limits are not exceeded; otherwise there will
be a degradation in linearity performance.
The absolute input voltage range on the auxiliary ADC is restricted
to between AGND – 30 mV to AV
+ 30 mV. The slightly
DD
negative absolute input voltage limit does allow the possibility
of monitoring small signal bipolar signals using the single-ended
auxiliary ADC front end.
Programmable Gain Amplifier
The output from the buffer on the primary ADC is applied to the
input of the on-chip programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The
PGA can be programmed through eight different unipolar input
ranges and bipolar ranges. The PGA gain range is programmed
via the range bits in the ADC0CON SFR. With the external
reference select bit set in the ADC0CON SFR and an external
2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges are 0 mV to 20 mV, 0 mV to
40 mV, 0 mV to 80 mV, 0 mV to 160 mV, 0 mV to 320 mV, 0 mV
to 640 mV, 0 V to 1.28 V, and 0 to 2.56 V; the bipolar ranges are
± 20 mV, ± 40 mV, ±80 mV, ± 160 mV, ± 320 mV, ±640 mV,
±1.28 V, and ± 2.56 V. These are the nominal ranges that should
appear at the input to the on-chip PGA. An ADC range matching specification of 2 V (typ) across all ranges means that
calibration need only be carried out at a single gain range and
does not have to be repeated when the PGA gain range is changed.
Typical matching across ranges is shown in Figure 9. Here, the
primary ADC is configured in bipolar mode with an external
2.5 V reference, while just greater than 19 mV is forced on its
inputs. The ADC continuously converts the dc input voltage at
an update rate of 5.35 Hz, i.e., SF = FFH. In total, 800 conversion results are gathered. The first 100 results are gathered with
the primary ADC operating in the ±20 mV range. The ADC
range is then switched to ±40 mV, 100 more conversion results
are gathered, and so on until the last group of 100 samples is
gathered with the ADC configured in the ±2.56 V range. From
Figure 9, the variation in the sample mean through each range,
i.e., the range matching, is seen to be of the order of 2 V.
The auxiliary ADC does not incorporate a PGA and is configured
for a fixed single input range of 0 to V
REF
.
ADuC834
Figure 9. Primary ADC Range Matching
Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs
The analog inputs on the ADuC834 can accept either unipolar or
bipolar input voltage ranges. Bipolar input ranges do not imply that
the part can handle negative voltages with respect to system AGND.
Unipolar and bipolar signals on the AIN(+) input on the primary
ADC are referenced to the voltage on the respective AIN(–)
input. For example, if AIN(–) is 2.5 V and the primary ADC is
configured for an analog input range of 0 mV to 20 mV, the input
voltage range on the AIN(+) input is 2.5 V to 2.52 V. If AIN(–)
is 2.5 V and the ADuC834 is configured for an analog input
range of 1.28 V, the analog input range on the AIN(+) input is
1.22 V to 3.78 V (i.e., 2.5 V ± 1.28 V).
As mentioned earlier, the auxiliary ADC input is a single-ended
input with respect to the system AGND. In this context, a bipolar
signal on the auxiliary ADC can only span 30 mV negative with
respect to AGND before violating the voltage input limits for
this ADC.
Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the
primary and auxiliary Unipolar enable bits in the ADC0CON
and ADC1CON SFRs respectively. This programs the relevant
ADC for either unipolar or bipolar operation. Programming for
either unipolar or bipolar operation does not change any of the
input signal conditioning; it simply changes the data output coding
and the points on the transfer function where calibrations occur.
When an ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output
coding is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input
voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a midscale voltage
resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111. When an ADC is configured
for bipolar operation, the coding is offset binary with a negative
full-scale voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a zero
differential voltage resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a
positive full-scale voltage resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111.

The ADuC834’s reference inputs, REFIN(+) and REFIN(–),
provide a differential reference input capability. The commonmode range for these differential inputs is from AGND to AV
The nominal reference voltage, V
(REFIN(+) – REFIN(–)),

.
for specified operation is 2.5 V with the primary and auxiliary
reference enable bits set in the respective ADC0CON and/or
ADC1CON SFRs.
The part is also functional (although not specified for performance)
when the XREF0 or XREF1 bits are 0, which enables the on-chip
internal band gap reference. In this mode, the ADCs will see the
internal reference of 1.25 V, therefore halving all input ranges.
As a result of using the internal reference voltage, a noticeable
degradation in peak-to-peak resolution will result. Therefore,
for best performance, operation with an external reference is
strongly recommended.
In applications where the excitation (voltage or current) for the
transducer on the analog input also drives the reference voltage
for the part, the effect of the low frequency noise in the excitation
source will be removed as the application is ratiometric. If the
ADuC834 is not used in a ratiometric application, a low noise
reference should be used. Recommended reference voltage sources
for the ADuC834 include the AD780, REF43, and REF192.
It should also be noted that the reference inputs provide a high
impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each
reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on
these inputs can cause dc gain errors depending on the output
impedance of the source that is driving the reference inputs.
Reference voltage sources, like those recommended above
(e.g., AD780), will typically have low output impedances and
therefore decoupling capacitors on the REFIN(+) input would
be recommended. Deriving the reference input voltage across an
external resistor, as shown in Figure 66, will mean that the reference input sees a significant external source impedance. External
decoupling on the REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins would not be
recommended in this type of circuit configuration.
Burnout Currents
The primary ADC on the ADuC834 contains two 100 nA constant
current generators, one sourcing current from AV
to AIN(+),
DD
and one sinking from AIN(–) to AGND. The currents are switched
to the selected analog input pair. Both currents are either on or
off, depending on the Burnout Current Enable (BO) bit in the
ICON SFR (see Table IX). These currents can be used to verify
that an external transducer is still operational before attempting
to take measurements on that channel. Once the burnout currents are turned on, they will flow in the external transducer
circuit, and a measurement of the input voltage on the analog
input channel can be taken. If the resultant voltage measured is
full-scale, it indicates that the transducer has gone open-circuit.
If the voltage measured is 0 V, it indicates that the transducer
has short circuited. For normal operation, these burnout currents
are turned off by writing a 0 to the BO bit in the ICON SFR.
The current sources work over the normal absolute input voltage
range specifications.
Excitation Currents
The ADuC834 also contains two identical, 200 A constant
current sources. Both source current from AV
to Pin 3 (IEXC1)
DD
or Pin 4 (IEXC2). These current sources are controlled via bits
in the ICON SFR shown in Table IX. They can be configured
to source 200 A individually to both pins or a combination of
both currents, i.e., 400 A, to either of the selected pins. These
current sources can be used to excite external resistive bridge or
RTD sensors.
Reference Detect
The ADuC834 includes on-chip circuitry to detect if the part has
a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. If the voltage
between the external REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins goes below
0.3 V or either the REFIN(+) or REFIN(–) inputs is open circuit,
the ADuC834 detects that it no longer has a valid reference. In
this case, the NOXREF bit of the ADCSTAT SFR is set to a 1.
If the ADuC834 is performing normal conversions and the
NOXREF bit becomes active, the conversion results revert to all
1s. It is not necessary to continuously monitor the status of the
NOXREF bit when performing conversions. It is only necessary
to verify its status if the conversion result read from the ADC
Data Register is all 1s.
If the ADuC834 is performing either an offset or gain calibration
and the NOXREF bit becomes active, the updating of the respective calibration registers is inhibited to avoid loading incorrect
coefficients to these registers, and the appropriate ERR0 or
ERR1 bits in the ADCSTAT SFR are set. If the user is concerned
about verifying that a valid reference is in place every time a
calibration is performed, the status of the ERR0 or ERR1 bit
should be checked at the end of the calibration cycle.
- Modulator
A - ADC generally consists of two main blocks, an analog
modulator and a digital filter. In the case of the ADuC834
ADCs, the analog modulators consist of a difference amplifier,
an integrator block, a comparator, and a feedback DAC as
illustrated in Figure 10.

In operation, the analog signal sample is fed to the difference
amplifier along with the output of the feedback DAC. The
difference between these two signals is integrated and fed to the
comparator. The output of the comparator provides the input to
the feedback DAC so the system functions as a negative feedback
loop that tries to minimize the difference signal. The digital
data that represents the analog input voltage is contained in the
duty cycle of the pulse train appearing at the output of the comparator. This duty cycle data can be recovered as a data-word
using a subsequent digital filter stage. The sampling frequency of
the modulator loop is many times higher than the bandwidth
of the input signal. The integrator in the modulator shapes the
quantization noise (which results from the analog-to-digital
conversion) so that the noise is pushed toward one-half of the
modulator frequency.
Digital Filter
The output of the - modulator feeds directly into the digital
filter. The digital filter then band-limits the response to a frequency significantly lower than one-half of the modulator frequency.
In this manner, the 1-bit output of the comparator is translated
into a band-limited, low noise output from the ADuC834 ADCs.
The ADuC834 filter is a low-pass, Sinc
3
or (SIN x/x)3 filter
whose primary function is to remove the quantization noise
introduced at the modulator. The cutoff frequency and decimated
output data rate of the filter are programmable via the SF (Sinc
Filter) SFR as described in Table VIII.
Figure 11 shows the frequency response of the ADC channel at
the default SF word of 69 dec or 45H, yielding an overall output
update rate of just under 20 Hz.
It should be noted that this frequency response allows frequency
components higher than the ADC Nyquist frequency to pass
through the ADC, in some cases without significant attenuation.
These components may, therefore, be aliased and appear
in-band after the sampling process.
It should also be noted that rejection of mains-related frequency
components, i.e., 50 Hz and 60 Hz, is seen to be at a level of
>65 dB at 50 Hz and >100 dB at 60 Hz. This confirms the data
sheet specifications for 50 Hz/60 Hz Normal Mode Rejection
(NMR) at a 20 Hz update rate.
The response of the filter, however, will change with SF word as
can be seen in Figure 12, which shows >90 dB NMR at 50 Hz
and >70 dB NMR at 60 Hz when SF = 255 dec.
Figure 12. Filter Response, SF = 255 dec
Figures 13 and 14 show the NMR for 50 Hz and 60 Hz across

ADuC834
ADC Chopping
Both ADCs on the ADuC834 implement a chopping scheme
whereby the ADC repeatedly reverses its inputs. The decimated
digital output words from the Sinc3 filters therefore have a
positive offset and negative offset term included.
As a result, a final summing stage is included in each ADC so
that each output word from the filter is summed and averaged
with the previous filter output to produce a new valid output
result to be written to the ADC data SFRs. In this way, while
the ADC throughput or update rate is as discussed earlier and
illustrated in Table VIII, the full settling time through the ADC
(or the time to a first conversion result), will actually be given
by 2 t
The chopping scheme incorporated in the ADuC834 ADC
results in excellent dc offset and offset drift specifications and is
extremely beneficial in applications where drift, noise rejection,
and optimum EMI rejection are important factors.
Calibration
The ADuC834 provides four calibration modes that can be
programmed via the mode bits in the ADCMODE SFR detailed
in Table V. In fact, every ADuC834 has already been factory
calibrated. The resultant Offset and Gain calibration coefficients for both the primary and auxiliary ADCs are stored
on-chip in manufacturing-specific Flash/EE memory locations.
At power-on or after reset, these factory calibration coefficients
are automatically downloaded to the calibration registers in the
ADuC834 SFR space. Each ADC (primary and auxiliary) has
dedicated calibration SFRs, these have been described earlier as
part of the general ADC SFR description. However, the factory
calibration values in the ADC calibration SFRs will be overwritten if any one of the four calibration options are initiated and
that ADC is enabled via the ADC enable bits in ADCMODE.
Even though an internal offset calibration mode is described
below, it should be recognized that both ADCs are chopped.
This chopping scheme inherently minimizes offset and means
that an internal offset calibration should never be required. Also,
because factory 5 V/25°C gain calibration coefficients are automatically present at power-on, an internal full-scale calibration
will only be required if the part is being operated at 3 V or at
temperatures significantly different from 25°C.
The ADuC834 offers internal or system calibration facilities. For
full calibration to occur on the selected ADC, the calibration
logic must record the modulator output for two different input
conditions. These are zero-scale and fullpoints are derived by performing a
ADC
.
scale points. These
conversion on the different
input voltages provided to the input of the modulator during
calibration. The result of the zero-scale calibration conversion is
stored in the Offset Calibration Registers for the appropriate
ADC. The result of the full-scale calibration conversion is stored
in the Gain Calibration Registers for the appropriate ADC.
With these readings, the calibration logic can calculate the offset
and the gain slope for the input-to-output transfer function of
the converter.
During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the respective
zero-scale input and full-scale input are automatically connected
to the ADC input pins internally to the device. A system calibration, however, expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale
voltages to be applied to the external ADC pins before the calibration mode is initiated. In this way, external ADC errors are
taken into account and minimized as a result of system calibration.
It should also be noted that to optimize calibration accuracy, all
ADuC834 ADC calibrations are carried out automatically at the
slowest update rate.
Internally in the ADuC834, the coefficients are normalized
before being used to scale the words coming out of the digital
filter. The offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the
result prior to the multiplication by the gain coefficient.
From an operational point of view, a calibration should be
treated like another ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration
(if required) should always be carried out before a full-scale
calibration. System software should monitor the relevant ADC
RDY0/1 bit in the ADCSTAT SFR to determine end of calibration via a polling sequence or interrupt driven routine.
The ADuC834 incorporates Flash/EE memory technology on-chip
to provide the user with nonvolatile, in-circuit reprogrammable,
code and data memory space. Flash/EE memory is a relatively
recent type of nonvolatile memory technology and is based on a
single transistor cell architecture. This technology is basically an
outgrowth of EPROM technology and was developed through
the late 1980s. Flash/EE memory takes the flexible in-circuit
reprogrammable features of EEPROM and combines them with
the space efficient/density features of EPROM. (See Figure 15).
Because Flash/EE technology is based on a single transistor cell
architecture, a Flash memory array, like EPROM, can be implemented to achieve the space efficiencies or memory densities
required by a given design.

ADuC834
Like EEPROM, Flash memory can be programmed in-system at
a byte level, although it must first be erased; the erase being
performed in page blocks. Thus, Flash memory is often and
more correctly referred to as Flash/EE memory.

Figure 15. Flash/EE Memory Development
Overall, Flash/EE memory represents a step closer to the ideal
memory device that includes nonvolatility, in-circuit programmability, high density, and low cost. Incorporated in the
ADuC834, Flash/EE memory technology allows the user to
update program code space in-circuit, without the need to replace
onetime programmable (OTP) devices at remote operating nodes.
Flash/EE Memory and the ADuC834
The ADuC834 provides two arrays of Flash/EE memory for
user applications. 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE Program space are
provided on-chip to facilitate code execution without any external discrete ROM device requirements. The program memory
can be programmed in-circuit, using the serial download mode
provided, using conventional third party memory programmers,
or via any user defined protocol in User Download (ULOAD) Mode.
A 4 Kbyte Flash/EE Data Memory space is also provided on-chip.
This may be used as a general-purpose, nonvolatile scratchpad
area. User access to this area is via a group of seven SFRs. This
space can be programmed at a byte level, although it must first
be erased in 4-byte pages.
ADuC834 Flash/EE Memory Reliability
The Flash/EE Program and Data Memory arrays on the ADuC834
are fully qualified for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics,
namely Flash/EE Memory Cycling Endurance and Flash/EE
Memory Data Retention.
Endurance quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to be
cycled through many Program, Read, and Erase cycles. In real
terms, a single endurance cycle is composed of four independent,
sequential events. These events are defined as:
a. initial page erase sequence
b. read/verify sequence
c. byte program sequence
A single Flash/EE
Memory Endurance
Cycle
d. second read/verify sequence
In reliability qualification, every byte in both the program and
data Flash/EE memory is cycled from 00H to FFH until a
fail is recorded, signifying the endurance limit of the
first
on-chip
Flash/EE memory.
As indicated in the specification pages of this data sheet, the
ADuC834 Flash/EE memory endurance qualification has been
carried out in accordance with JEDEC Specification A117 over
the industrial temperature range of –40°C, +25°C, +85°C, and
+125°C. The results allow the specification of a minimum
endurance figure over supply and temperature of 100,000
cycles, with an endurance figure of 700,000 cycles being typical
of operation at 25°C.
Retention quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to retain
its programmed data over time. Again, the ADuC834 has been
qualified in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention Lifetime Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature
(TJ = 55°C). As part of this qualification procedure, the
Flash/EE memory is cycled to its specified endurance limit
described above, before data retention is characterized. This
means that the Flash/EE memory is guaranteed to retain its data
for its full specified retention lifetime every time the Flash/EE
memory is reprogrammed. It should also be noted that retention
lifetime, based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV, will derate
as shown in Figure 16.

Flash/EE Program Memory
The ADuC834 contains a 64 Kbyte array of Flash/EE program
memory. The lower 62 Kbytes of this program memory is available to the user, and can be used for program storage or indeed
as additional NV data memory.
The upper 2 Kbytes of this Flash/EE program memory array
contain permanently embedded firmware, allowing in circuit serial
download, serial debug and nonintrusive single pin emulation.
These 2 Kbytes of embedded firmware also contain a power-on
configuration routine that downloads factory calibrated coefficients to the various calibrated peripherals (ADC, temperature
sensor, current sources, bandgap references and so on).
This 2 Kbyte embedded firmware is hidden from user code.
Attempts to read this space will read 0s, i.e., the embedded firmware
appears as NOP instructions to user code.
In normal operating mode (power up default) the 62 Kbytes of
user Flash/EE program memory appear as a single block. This
block is used to store the user code as shown in Figure 17.

Normal Mode
In Normal Mode, the 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memory
can be programmed programmed in two ways, namely:
(1) Serial Downloading (In-Circuit Programming)
The ADuC834 facilitates code download via the standard UART
serial port. The ADuC834 will enter Serial Download mode
after a reset or power cycle if the PSEN pin is pulled low through
an external 1 kΩ resistor. Once in serial download mode, the
hidden embedded download kernel will execute. This allows the
user to download code to the full 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program
memory while the device is in circuit in its target application
hardware.
A PC serial download executable is provided as part of the
ADuC834 QuickStart development system. Appliction Note
uC004 fully describes the serial download protocol that is used
by the embedded download kernel. This Appliction Note is
available at www.analog.com/microconverter.
(2) Parallel Programming
The parallel programming mode is fully compatible with conventional third party Flash or EEPROM device programmers. A block
diagram of the external pin configuration required to support parallel
programming is shown in Figure 18. In this mode, Ports 0, and 2
operate as the external address bus interface, P3 operates as the
external data bus interface and P1.0 operates as the Write Enable
strobe. Port 1.1, P1.2, P1.3, and P1.4 are used as a general
configuration port that configures the device for various program
and erase operations during parallel programming.

User Download Mode (ULOAD)
In Figure 17 we can see that it was possible to use the 62 Kbytes
of Flash/EE program memory available to the user as one single
block of memory. In this mode all of the Flash/EE memory is
read only to user code.
However, the Flash/EE program memory can also be written to
during runtime simply by entering ULOAD mode. In ULOAD
mode, the lower 56 Kbytes of program memory can be erased
and reprogrammed by user software as shown in Figure 19.
ULOAD mode can be used to upgrade your code in the field via
any user defined download protocol. Configuring the SPI port on
the ADuC834 as a slave, it is possible to completely reprogram
the 56 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memory in only 5 seconds.
See Application Note uC007.
REV. A–30–
ADuC834
Alternatively ULOAD Mode can be used to save data to the
56 Kbytes of Flash/EE memory. This can be extremely useful in
datalogging applications where the ADuC834 can provide up to
60 Kbytes of NV data memory on-chip (4 Kbytes of dedicated
Flash/EE data memory also exist).
The upper 6 Kbytes of the 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program
memory is only programmable via serial download or parallel
programming. This means that this space appears as read only
to user code. Therefore, it cannot be accidently erased or reprogrammed by erroneous code execution. This makes it very
suitable to use the 6 Kbytes as a bootloader. A Bootload Enable
option exists in the serial downloader to “Always RUN from
E000h after Reset.” If using a bootloader, this option is recommended to ensure that the bootloader always executes correct
code after reset.
Programming the Flash/EE program memory via ULOAD
mode is described in more detail in the description of ECON
and also in Application Note uC007.

Flash/EE Program Memory Security
The ADuC834 facilitates three modes of Flash/EE program
memory security. These modes can be independently activated,
restricting access to the internal code space. These security
modes can be enabled as part of serial download protocol, as
described in Application Note uC004, or via parallel programming. The ADuC834 offers the following security modes:
Lock Mode
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel programming of the program memory. However, reading the memory in
Parallel Mode and reading the memory via a MOVC command
from external memory are still allowed. This mode is deactivated
by initiating an “erase code and data” command in Serial Download or Parallel Programming modes.
Secure Mode
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel programming of the program memory. Reading/Verifying the memory in
Parallel Mode and reading the internal memory via a MOVC
command from external memory is also disabled. This mode is
deactivated by initiating an “erase code and data” command in
Serial Download or Parallel Programming Modes.
Serial Safe Mode
This mode disables serial download capability on the device. If
Serial Safe mode is activated and an attempt is made to reset
the part into Serial Download mode, i.e., RESET asserted and
deasserted with PSEN low, the part will interpret the serial
download reset as a normal reset only. It will therefore not enter
Serial Download mode, but only execute a normal reset sequence.
Serial Safe mode can only be disabled by initiating an “erase
code and data” command in parallel programming mode.

Programming the Flash/EE Data Memory
A user wishes to program F3H into the second byte on Page 03H
of the Flash/EE data memory space while preserving the other
three bytes already in this page.
A typical program of the Flash/EE data array will involve:
1. setting EADRH/L with the page address
2. writing the data to be programmed to the EDATA1–4
3. writing the ECON SFR with the appropriate command
Step 1: Set Up the Page Address
The two address registers EADRH and EADRL hold the high
byte address and the low byte address of the page to be addressed.
The assembly language to set up the address may appear as:
EADRH,#0
MOV
MOV
EADRL,#03H
Step 2: Set Up the EDATA Registers

Overwrite byte 2
A byte in the Flash/EE array can only be programmed if it has
previously been erased. To be more specific, a byte can only be
programmed if it already holds the value FFH. Because of the
Flash/EE architecture, this erase must happen at a page level.
Therefore, a minimum of 4 bytes (1 page) will be erased when
an erase command is initiated. Once the page is erased, we can
program the 4 bytes in-page and then perform a verification of
the data.

Note: although the 4 Kbytes of Flash/EE data memory is shipped
from the factory pre-erased, i.e., Byte locations set to FFH, it is
nonetheless good programming practice to include an erase-all
routine as part of any configuration/setup code running on the
ADuC834. An “ERASE-ALL” command consists of writing
“06H” to the ECON SFR, which initiates an erase of the 4-Kbyte
Flash/EE array. This command coded in 8051 assembly would
appear as:
MOV ECON,#06H ; Erase all Command
; 2 ms Duration
Flash/EE Memory Timing
Typical program and erase times for the ADuC834 are as follows:
WRITEPAGE (256 bytes)– 15 ms
ERASEPAGE (64 bytes)– 2 ms
ERASEALL (56 Kbytes)– 2 ms
WRITEBYTE (1 byte)– 200 s
It should be noted that a given mode of operation is initiated as
soon as the command word is written to the ECON SFR. The
core microcontroller operation on the ADuC834 is idled until
the requested Program/Read or Erase mode is completed.
In practice, this means that even though the Flash/EE memory
mode of operation is typically initiated with a two-machine cycle
MOV instruction (to write to the ECON SFR), the next instruction
will not be executed until the Flash/EE operation is complete.
This means that the core will not respond to interrupt requests
until the Flash/EE operation is complete, although the core
peripheral functions like Counter/Timers will continue to count
and time as configured throughout this period.

Using the D/A Converter
The on-chip D/A converter architecture consists of a resistor

output buffer amplifier features a true rail-to-rail output stage
implementation. This means that, unloaded, each output is
capable of swinging to within less than 100 mV of both AV

driving a 10 kΩ resistive load to ground) is guaranteed through
the full transfer function except codes 0 to 48 in 0-to-V
mode and 0 to 100 and 3950 to 4095 in 0-to-VDD mode.

Figure 22. Endpoint Nonlinearities Due to Amplifier
Saturation
The endpoint nonlinearities conceptually illustrated in Figure 22
get worse as a function of output loading. Most of the ADuC834
data sheet specifications assume a 10 kΩ resistive load to
ground at the DAC output. As the output is forced to source or
sink more current, the nonlinear regions at the top or bottom
(respectively) of Figure 22 become larger. With larger current
demands, this can significantly limit output voltage swing.

The DAC output buffer also features a high impedance disable

disabled and its output is in a high impedance state (or “threestate”) where they remain inactive until enabled in software.
This means that if a zero output is desired during power-up or
power-down transient conditions, a pull-down resistor must be
added to each DAC output. Assuming this resistor is in place,
the DAC output will remain at ground potential whenever the

PULSEWIDTH MODULATOR (PWM)
The PWM on the ADuC834 is a highly flexible PWM offering
programmable resolution and input clock, and can be configured for any one of six different modes of operation. Two of
these modes allow the PWM to be configured as a - DAC
with up to 16 bits of resolution. A block diagram of the PWM is
shown in Figure 26.

The PWM uses five SFRs: the control SFR, PWMCON, and four
data SFRs PWM0H, PWM0L, PWM1H, and PWM1L.
PWMCON (as described below) controls the different modes of
operation of the PWM as well as the PWM clock frequency.
PWM0H/L and PWM1H/L are the data registers that determine
the duty cycles of the PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1.
To use the PWM user software, first write to PWMCON to
select the PWM mode of operation and the PWM input clock.
Writing to PWMCON also resets the PWM counter. In any of
the 16-bit modes of operation (Modes 1, 3, 4, 6), user software
should write to the PWM0L or PWM1L SFRs first. This value
is written to a hidden SFR. Writing to the PWM0H or PWM1H

The PWM is disabled, allowing P1.0 and P1.1 be used as normal.
Mode 1: Single-Variable Resolution PWM
In Mode 1, both the pulse length and the cycle time (period) are
programmable in user code, allowing the resolution of the PWM
to be variable.
PWM1H/L sets the period of the output waveform. Reducing
PWM1H/L reduces the resolution of the PWM output but
increases the maximum output rate of the PWM (e.g., setting
PWM1H/L to 65536 gives a 16-bit PWM with a maximum
output rate of 192 Hz (12.583 MHz/65536). Setting PWM1H/L
to 4096 gives a 12-bit PWM with a maximum output rate of
3072 Hz (12.583 MHz/4096)).
PWM0H/L sets the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform,
as shown in Figure 27.

Mode 2: Twin 8-Bit PWM
In Mode 2, the duty cycle of the PWM outputs and the resolution
of the PWM outputs are both programmable. The maximum
resolution of the PWM output is eight bits.
PWM1L sets the period for both PWM outputs. Typically this
will be set to 255 (FFh) to give an 8-bit PWM, although it is
possible to reduce this as necessary. A value of 100 could be
loaded here to give a percentage PWM (i.e., the PWM is accurate to 1%).
The outputs of the PWM at P1.0 and P1.1 are shown in the
diagram below. As can be seen, the output of PWM0 (P1.0) goes
low when the PWM counter equals PWM0L. The output of
PWM1 (P1.1) goes high when the PWM counter equals PWM1H
and goes low again when the PWM counter equals PWM0H.
Setting PWM1H to 0 ensures that both PWM outputs start
simultaneously.

Mode 3: Twin 16-Bit PWM
In Mode 3, the PWM counter is fixed to count from 0 to 65536
giving a fixed 16-bit PWM. Operating from the 12.58 MHz core
clock results in a PWM output rate of 192 Hz. The duty cycle
of the PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1 are independently
programmable.
As shown below, while the PWM counter is less than PWM0H/L,
the output of PWM0 (P1.0) is high. Once the PWM counter
equals PWM0H/L, then PWM0 (P1.0) goes low and remains
low until the PWM counter rolls over.
Similarly, while the PWM counter is less than PWM1H/L, the
output of PWM1 (P1.1) is high. Once the PWM counter equals
PWM1H/L, then PWM1 (P1.1) goes low and remains low until
the PWM counter rolls over.
In this mode, both PWM outputs are synchronized (i.e., once the
PWM counter rolls over to 0, both PWM0 (P1.0) and PWM1
(P1.1) will go high).

Mode 4: Dual NRZ 16-Bit - DAC
Mode 4 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a
Σ-∆ DAC. Typically, this mode will be used with the PWM
clock equal to 12.58 MHz.
In this mode, P1.0 and P1.1 are updated every PWM clock
(80 ns in the case of 12.58 MHz). Over any 65536 cycles (16-bit
PWM) PWM0 (P1.0) is high for PWM0H/L cycles and low for
(65536 – PWM0H/L) cycles. Similarly PWM1 (P1.1) is high for
PWM1H/L cycles and low for (65536 – PWM1H/L) cycles.
If PWM1H is set to 4010H (slightly above one quarter of FS),
then typically P1.1 will be low for three clocks and high for one
clock (each clock is approximately 80 ns). Over every 65536
clocks, the PWM will compromise for the fact that the output
should be slightly above one quarter of full scale by having a
high cycle followed by only two low cycles.

Mode 6: Dual RZ 16-Bit - DAC
Mode 6 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a

the key difference is that Mode 6 provides return to zero (RZ)
Σ-∆ DAC output. Mode 4 provides non-return-to-zero Σ-∆ DAC
outputs. The RZ mode ensures that any difference in the rise
and fall times will not affect the Σ-∆ DAC INL. However, the
RZ mode halves the dynamic range of the Σ-∆ DAC outputs from
0→AV
to 0→AVDD/2. For best results, this mode should be

used with a PWM clock divider of 4.
If PWM1H is set to 4010H (slightly above one quarter of FS)
then typically P1.1 will be low for three full clocks (3 80 ns),
high for half a clock (40 ns) and then low again for half a clock
(40 ns) before repeating itself. Over every 65536 clocks, the
PWM will compromise for the fact that the output should be
slightly above one quarter of full scale by leaving the output
high for two half clocks in four every so often.
For faster DAC outputs (at lower resolution), write 0s to the
LSBs that are not required with a 1 in the LSB position. If, for
example, only 12-bit performance is required, write “0001” to
the 4 LSBs. This means that a 12-bit accurate Σ-∆ DAC output
can occur at 3 kHz. Similarly, writing 00000001 to the 8 LSBs

TIME INTERVAL COUNTER (WAKE-UP/RTC TIMER)
A time interval counter (TIC) is provided on-chip for:
• periodically waking the part up from power-down
• implementing a Real-Time Clock
• counting longer intervals than the standard 8051 compatible
timers are capable of
The TIC is capable of timeout intervals ranging from 1/128th
second to 255 hours. Furthermore, this counter is clocked by the
crystal oscillator rather than the PLL and thus has the ability to
remain active in power-down mode and time long power-down
intervals. This has obvious applications for remote battery-powered
sensors where regular widely spaced readings are required.
T
he TIC counter can easily be used to generate a real-time
clock. The hardware will count in seconds, minutes, and hours;
however, user software will have to count in days, months, and
years. The current time can be written to the timebase SFRs
(HTHSEC, SEC, MIN, and HOUR) while TCEN is low. When
the RTC timer is enabled (TCEN is set), the TCEN bit itself
and the HTHSEC, SEC, MIN, and HOUR Registers are not
reset to 00H after a hardware or watchdog timer reset. This is to
prevent the need to recalibrate the real-time clock after a reset.
However, these registers will be reset to 00H after a power cycle
(independent of TCEN) or after any reset if TCEN is clear.
Six SFRs are associated with the time interval counter, TIMECON
being its control register. Depending on the configuration of the
IT0 and IT1 bits in TIMECON, the selected time counter register
overflow will clock the interval counter. When this counter is
equal to the time interval value loaded in the INTVAL SFR, the
TII bit (TIMECON.2) is set and generates an interrupt if enabled.
(See IEIP2 SFR description under Interrupt System in this data
Table XVIII. TIMECON SFR Bit Designations
sheet.) If the ADuC834 is in power-down mode, again with TIC
interrupt enabled, the TII bit will wake up the device and resume
code execution by vectoring directly to the TIC interrupt service
vector address at 0053H. The TIC-related SFRs are described

ADuC834
WATCHDOG TIMER
The purpose of the watchdog timer is to generate a device reset or
interrupt within a reasonable amount of time if the ADuC834
enters an erroneous state, possibly due to a programming error,
electrical noise, or RFI. The watchdog function can be disabled
by clearing the WDE (Watchdog Enable) bit in the Watchdog
Control (WDCON) SFR. When enabled; the watchdog circuit
will generate a system reset or interrupt (WDS) if the user program
amount of time (see PRE3–0 bits in WDCON). The watchdog
timer itself is a 16-bit counter that is clocked at 32.768 kHz. The
watchdog timeout interval can be adjusted via the PRE3–0 bits
in WDCON. Full control and status of the watchdog timer
function can be controlled via the Watchdog Timer Control SFR
(WDCON). The WDCON SFR can only be written by user
software if the double write sequence described in WDWR
below is initiated on every write access to the WDCON SFR.

supply has returned above the trip point for at least 250 ms. This
monitor function allows the user to save working registers to avoid
possible data loss due to the low supply condition, and also
ensures that normal code execution will not resume until a safe

ADuC834
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
The ADuC834 integrates a complete hardware Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) interface on-chip. SPI is an industry-standard
synchronous serial interface that allows eight bits of data to be
synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously, i.e., full
duplex. It should be noted that the SPI pins SCLOCK and MOSI
are multiplexed with the I
2
C pins SCLOCK and SDATA. The
pins are controlled via the I2CCON SFR only if SPE is clear.
SPI can be configured for master or slave operation and typically
consists of four pins, namely:
SCLOCK (Serial Clock I/O Pin), Pin 26
The master clock (SCLOCK) is used to synchronize the data
being transmitted and received through the MOSI and MISO
data lines. A single data bit is transmitted and received in each
SCLOCK period. Therefore, a byte is transmitted/received after
eight SCLOCK periods. The SCLOCK pin is configured as an
output in master mode and as an input in Slave mode. In master
mode the bit-rate, polarity, and phase of the clock are controlled
by the CPOL, CPHA, SPR0, and SPR1 bits in the SPICON SFR
(see Table XXI). In Slave mode the SPICON register will have to
be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and CPOL) as
the master as for both Master and Slave mode the data is transmitted
on one edge of the SCLOCK signal and sampled on the other.
MISO (Master In, Slave Out Data I/O Pin), Pin 14
The MISO (master in slave out) pin is configured as an input
line in Master mode and an output line in Slave mode. The
MISO line on the master (data in) should be connected to the
MISO line in the slave device (data out). The data is transferred
as byte-wide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
MOSI (Master Out, Slave In Pin), Pin 27
The MOSI (master out slave in) pin is configured as an output
line in Master mode and an input line in Slave mode. The MOSI
line on the master (data out) should be connected to the MOSI line
in the slave device (data in). The data is transferred as byte-wide
(8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
SS (Slave Select Input Pin), Pin 13
The Slave Select (SS) input pin is only used when the ADuC834
is configured in SPI Slave mode. This line is active low. Data is only
received or transmitted in Slave mode when the SS pin is low,
allowing the ADuC834 to be used in single master, multislave SPI
configurations. If CPHA = 1, the SS input may be permanently
pulled low. With CPHA = 0, the SS input must be driven low
before the first bit in a byte wide transmission or reception and
return high again after the last bit in that byte wide transmission
or reception. In SPI Slave mode, the logic level on the external
SS pin (Pin 13), can be read via the SPR0 bit in the SPICON SFR.
The following SFR registers are used to control the SPI interface.

SPI Interface—Master Mode
In Master Mode, the SCLOCK pin is always an output and
generates a burst of eight clocks whenever user code writes to
the SPIDAT Register. The SCLOCK bit rate is determined by
SPR0 and SPR1 in SPICON. It should also be noted that the
SS Pin is not used in Master mode. If the ADuC834 needs to
assert the SS Pin on an external slave device, a port digital output
pin should be used.
In Master Mode, a byte transmission or reception is initiated by
a write to SPIDAT. Eight clock periods are generated via the
SCLOCK pin and the SPIDAT byte being transmitted via
MOSI. With each SCLOCK period, a data bit is also sampled
via MISO. After eight clocks, the transmitted byte will have
been completely transmitted and the input byte will be waiting
in the input shift register. The ISPI flag will be set automatically
and an interrupt will occur if enabled. The value in the shift
register will be latched into SPIDAT.
SPI Interface—Slave Mode
In Slave Mode, the SCLOCK is an input. The SS pin must also
be driven low externally during the byte communication. Transmission is also initiated by a write to SPIDAT. In Slave Mode,
a data bit is transmitted via MISO and a data bit is received via
MOSI through each input SCLOCK period. After eight clocks,
the transmitted byte will have been completely transmitted and
the input byte will be waiting in the input shift register. The ISPI
flag will be set automatically and an interrupt will occur if enabled.
The value in the shift register will be latched into SPIDAT
only when the transmission/reception of a byte has been completed. The end of transmission occurs after the eighth clock has
been received, if CPHA = 1 or when SS returns high if CPHA = 0.

I2C SERIAL INTERFACE
The ADuC834 supports a fully licensed* I2C serial interface. The
2
C interface is implemented as a full hardware slave and software
I
master. SDATA (Pin 27) is the data I/O pin and SCLOCK
(Pin 26) is the serial clock. These two pins are shared with the
MOSI and SCLOCK pins of the on-chip SPI interface. Therefore
the user can only enable one or the other interface at any given
time (see SPE in Table XXI). Application Note uC001 describes
the operation of this interface as implemented and is available from

The main features of the MicroConverter I2C interface are:
•
Only two bus lines are required; a serial data line (SDATA)
and a serial clock line (SCLOCK).
•
An I2C master can communicate with multiple slave devices.
Because each slave device has a unique 7-bit address then
single master/slave relationships can exist at all times even in
a multislave environment (Figure 35).
•
On-chip filtering rejects <50 ns spikes on the SDATA and
the SCLOCK lines to preserve data integrity.

Figure 35. Typical I2C System
Software Master Mode
The ADuC834 can be used as a I2C master device by configuring
2
the I
C peripheral in master mode and writing software to output
the data bit by bit, which is referred to as a software master. Master
mode is enabled by setting the I2CM bit in the I2CCON register.
To transmit data on the SDATA line, MDE must be set to enable
the output driver on the SDATA pin. If MDE is set then the
SDATA pin will be pulled high or low depending on whether the
MDO bit is set or cleared. MCO controls the SCLOCK pin and
is always configured as an output in Master mode. In Master
mode, the SCLOCK pin will be pulled high or low depending
on the whether MCO is set or cleared.
To receive data, MDE must be cleared to disable the output
driver on SDATA. Software must provide the clocks by toggling
the MCO bit and read SDATA pin via the MDI bit. If MDE is
cleared, MDI can be used to read the SDATA pin. The value of
the SDATA pin is latched into MDI on a rising edge of SCLOCK.
MDI is set if the SDATA pin was high on the last rising edge of
SCLOCK. MDI is clear if the SDATA pin was low on the last
rising edge of SCLOCK.
Software must control MDO, MCO, and MDE appropriately to
generate the START condition, slave address, acknowledge bits,
data bytes, and STOP conditions appropriately. These functions
are provided in Application Note uC001.
Hardware Slave Mode
After reset, the ADuC834 defaults to hardware slave mode. The
2
C interface is enabled by clearing the SPE bit in SPICON.
I
Slave mode is enabled by clearing the I2CM bit in I2CCON.
The ADuC834 has a full hardware slave. In slave mode, the I
2
C
address is stored in the I2CADD register. Data received or to be
transmitted is stored in the I2CDAT register.
ADuC834

Once enabled in I
START condition. If the ADuC834 detects a valid start condition,
followed by a valid address, and by the R/W bit, the I2CI interrupt bit will get automatically set by hardware.
2
The I
C peripheral will only generate a core interrupt if the user
has preconfigured the I
as well as the global interrupt bit EA in the IE SFR, i.e.,
; Enabling I2C Interrupts for the ADuC834
MOV IEIP2,#01h ; enable I2C interrupt
SETB EA
On the ADuC834 an auto clear of the I2CI bit is implemented
so this bit is cleared automatically on a read or write access to
the I2CDAT SFR.
MOV I2CDAT, A ; I2CI auto-cleared MOV
A, I2CDAT ; I2CI auto-cleared
If for any reason the user tries to clear the interrupt more than
once, i.e., access the data SFR more than once per interrupt,
then the I
2
C controller will halt. The interface will then have to
be reset using the I2CRS bit.
The user can choose to poll the I2CI bit or enable the interrupt.
In the case of the interrupt, the PC counter will vector to 003BH
at the end of each complete byte. For the first byte when the
user gets to the I2CI ISR, the 7-bit address and the R/W bit will
appear in the I2CDAT SFR.
The I2CTX bit contains the R/W bit sent from the master. If
I2CTX is set then the master would like to receive a byte. Hence
the slave will transmit data by writing to the I2CDAT register.
If I2CTX is cleared, the master would like to transmit a byte.
Hence the slave will receive a serial byte. The software can
interrogate the state of I2CTX to determine whether it should
write to or read from I2CDAT.
Once the ADuC834 has received a valid address, hardware will
hold SCLOCK low until the I2CI bit is cleared by the software.
This allows the master to wait for the slave to be ready before
transmitting the clocks for the next byte.
The I2CI interrupt bit will be set every time a complete data
byte is received or transmitted provided it is followed by a valid
ACK. If the byte is followed by a NACK, an interrupt is NOT
generated. The ADuC834 will continue to issue interrupts for
each complete data byte transferred until a STOP condition is
received or the interface is reset.
When a STOP condition is received, the interface will reset to a
state where it is waiting to be addressed (idle). Similarly, if the
interface receives a NACK at the end of a sequence, it also
returns to the default idle state. The I2CRS bit can be used to
reset the I
2
C interface. This bit can be used to force the inter-
face back to the default idle state.
It should be noted that there is no way (in hardware) to distinguish between an interrupt generated by a received START +
valid address and an interrupt generated by a received data byte.
User software must be used to distinguish between these interrupts.

8052 COMPATIBLE ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
This section gives a brief overview of the various secondary
peripheral circuits that are also available to the user on-chip.
These remaining functions are mostly 8052 compatible (with a
few additional features) and are controlled via standard 8052
SFR bit definitions.
Parallel I/O
The ADuC834 uses four input/output ports to exchange data
with external devices. In addition to performing general-purpose
I/O, some ports are capable of external memory operations while
others are multiplexed with alternate functions for the peripheral
features on the device. In general, when a peripheral is enabled,
that pin may not be used as a general-purpose I/O pin.
Port 0
Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bidirectional I/O port that is directly
controlled via the Port 0 SFR. Port 0 is also the multiplexed low
order address and databus during accesses to external program
or data memory.
Figure 36 shows a typical bit latch and I/O buffer for a Port 0 port
pin. The bit latch (one bit in the port’s SFR) is represented as a
Type D flip-flop, which will clock in a value from the internal bus
in response to a “write to latch” signal from the CPU. The Q output
of the flip-flop is placed on the internal bus in response to a
“read latch” signal from the CPU. The level of the port pin itself
is placed on the internal bus in response to a “read pin” signal
from the CPU. Some instructions that read a port activate the
“read latch” signal, and others activate the “read pin” signal.

Figure 36. Port 0 Bit Latch and I/O Buffer
As shown in Figure 36, the output drivers of Port 0 pins are
switchable to an internal ADDR and ADDR/DATA bus by an
internal CONTROL signal for use in external memory accesses.
During external memory accesses, the P0 SFR gets 1s written to
it (i.e., all of its bit latches become 1). When accessing external
memory, the CONTROL signal in Figure 36 goes high, enabling
push-pull operation of the output pin from the internal address
or databus (ADDR/DATA line). Therefore, no external pull-ups
are required on Port 0 in order for it to access external memory.
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 0 pins that have 1s
written to them via the Port 0 SFR will be configured as opendrain and will therefore float. In this state, Port 0 pins can be
used as high impedance inputs. This is represented in Figure 36
by the NAND gate whose output remains high as long as the
CONTROL signal is low, thereby disabling the top FET. External pull-up resistors are therefore required when Port 0 pins are
used as general-purpose outputs. Port 0 pins with 0s written to
them will drive a logic low output voltage (V
capable of sinking 1.6 mA.

) and will be

Port 1
Port 1 is also an 8-bit port directly controlled via the P1 SFR.
The Port 1 pins are divided into two distinct pin groupings P1.0
to P1.1 and P1.2 to P1.7.
P1.0 and P1.1
P1.0 and P1.1 are bidirectional digital I/O pins with internal
pull-ups.
If P1.0 and P1.1 have 1s written to them via the P1 SFR, these
pins are pulled high by the internal pull-up resistors. In this state,
they can also be used as inputs. As input pins being externally
pulled low, they will source current because of the internal
pull-ups. With 0s written to them, both these pins will drive a
logic low output voltage (V
) and will be capable of sinking
OL
10 mA compared to the standard 1.6 mA sink capability on the
other port pins.
These pins also have various secondary functions described in
Table XXIV. The timer 2 alternate functions of P1.0 and P1.1
can only be activated if the corresponding bit latch in the P1
SFR contains a 1. Otherwise, the port pin is stuck at 0. In the
case of the PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1, the PWM outputs
will overwrite anything written to P1.0 or P1.1.

Figure 37 shows a typical bit latch and I/O buffer for a P1.0 or
P1.1 port pin. No external memory access is required from
either of these pins although internal pull-ups are present.
Figure 37. P1.0 and P1.1 Bit Latch and I/O Buffer
The internal pull-up consists of active circuitry as shown in
Figure 38. Whenever a P1.0 or P1.1 bit latch transitions from
low to high, Q1 in Figure 38 turns on for 2 oscillator periods to
quickly pull the pin to a logic high state. Once there, the weaker
Q3 turns on, thereby latching the pin to a logic high. If the pin
is momentarily pulled low externally, Q3 will turn off, but the
very weak Q2 will continue to source some current into the pin,
attempting to restore it to a logic high.

The remaining Port 1 pins (P1.2–P1.7) can only be configured as

these pins are configured as analog inputs, i.e., ‘1’ written in the
corresponding Port 1 register bit. To configure any of these pins
as digital inputs, the user should write a ‘0’ to these port bits to
configure the corresponding pin as a high impedance digital

Port 2
Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors directly
controlled via the P2 SFR. Port 2 also emits the high order
address bytes during fetches from external program memory
and middle and high order address bytes during accesses to the
24-bit external data memory space.
As shown in Figure 40, the output drivers of Ports 2 are switchable to an internal ADDR bus by an internal CONTROL signal
for use in external memory accesses (as for Port 0). In external
memory addressing mode (CONTROL = 1), the port pins
feature push/pull operation controlled by the internal address
bus (ADDR line). However unlike the P0 SFR during external
memory accesses, the P2 SFR remains unchanged.
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 2 pins that have 1s written
to them are pulled high by the internal pull-ups (Figure 38) and,
in that state, they can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins
being pulled externally low will source current because of the
internal pull-up resistors. Port 2 pins with 0s written to them
will drive a logic low output voltage (VOL) and will be capable
of sinking 1.6 mA.

Additional Digital I/O
In addition to the port pins, the dedicated SPI/I2C pins (SCLOCK
and SDATA/MOSI) also feature both input and output functions.
Their equivalent I/O architectures are illustrated in Figure 42
and Figure 44, respectively, for SPI operation and in Figure 43
and Figure 45 for I
Notice that in I

C mode (SPE = 0), the strong pull-up FET
(Q1) is disabled leaving only a weak pull-up (Q2) present. By
contrast, in SPI mode (SPE = 1), the strong pull-up FET (Q1)
is controlled directly by SPI hardware, giving the pin push/pull
capability.
2
In I
C mode (SPE = 0), two pull-down FETs (Q3 and Q4)
operate in parallel in order to provide an extra 60% or 70% of
current sinking capability. In SPI mode, however, (SPE = 1), only
one of the pull-down FETs (Q3) operates on each pin resulting
in sink capabilities identical to that of Port 0 and Port 2 pins.
On the input path of SCLOCK, notice that a Schmitt trigger
conditions the signal going to the SPI hardware to prevent false
triggers (double triggers) on slow incoming edges. For incoming
signals from the SCLOCK and SDATA pins going to I

Read-Modify-Write Instructions
Some 8051 instructions that read a port read the latch and
others read the pin. The instructions that read the latch rather
than the pins are the ones that read a value, possibly change it,
and then rewrite it to the latch. These are called “read-modifywrite” instructions. Listed below are the read-modify-write
instructions. When the destination operand is a port, or a port
bit, these instructions read the latch rather than the pin.
ANL(Logical AND, e.g., ANL P1, A)
ORL(Logical OR, e.g., ORL P2, A)
XRL(Logical EX-OR, e.g., XRL P3, A)
JBC(Jump If Bit = 1 and Clear Bit,
e.g., JBC P1.1, LABEL
CPL(Complement Bit, e.g., CPL P3.0)
INC(Increment, e.g., INC P2)
DEC(Decrement, e.g., DEC P2)
DJNZ(Decrement and Jump IFf Not Zero,
e.g.,DJNZ P3, LABEL)
MOV PX.Y, C* (Move Carry to Bit Y of Port X)
CLR PX.Y*(Clear Bit Y of Port X)
SETB PX.Y*(Set Bit Y of Port X)
The reason that read-modify-write instructions are directed to
the latch rather than the pin is to avoid a possible misinterpretation of the voltage level of a pin. For example, a port pin might
be used to drive the base of a transistor. When a 1 is written to
the bit, the transistor is turned on. If the CPU then reads the
same port bit at the pin rather then the latch, it will read the
base voltage of the transistor and interpret it as a Logic 0. Reading the latch rather than the pin will return the correct value of 1.

TIMERS/COUNTERS
The ADuC834 has three 16-bit Timer/Counters: Timer 0,
Timer 1, and Timer 2. The Timer/Counter hardware has been
included on-chip to relieve the processor core of the overhead
inherent in implementing timer/counter functionality in software. Each Timer/Counter consists of two 8-bit registers THx
and TLx (x = 0, 1 and 2). All three can be configured to operate either as timers or event counters.
In ‘Timer’ function, the TLx Register is incremented every
machine cycle. Thus it can be viewed as counting machine
cycles. Since a machine cycle consists of 12 core clock periods,
the maximum count rate is 1/12 of the core clock frequency.
In ‘Counter’ function, the TLx Register is incremented by a
1-to-0 transition at its corresponding external input pin, T0,
T1, or T2. In this function, the external input is sampled during

one cycle and a low in the next cycle, the count is incremented.
The new count value appears in the register during S3P1 of the
cycle following the one in which the transition was detected.
Since it takes two machine cycles (16 core clock periods) to
recognize a 1-to-0 transition, the maximum count rate is 1/16 of
the core 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 must be held for a
minimum of one full machine cycle. Remember that the core
clock frequency is programmed via the CD0–2 selection bits in
the PLLCON SFR.
User configuration and control of the timers is achieved via
three main SFRs. TMOD and TCON control the configuration
of Timers 0 and 1 while T2CON configures Timer 2.

Figure 48. Timer/Counter 0, Mode 0
In this mode, the timer register is configured as a 13-bit register.
As the count rolls over from all 1s to all 0s, it sets the timer overflow flag. The overflow flag, TF0, can then be used to request
an interrupt. The counted input is enabled to the timer when
TR0 = 1 and either Gate = 0 or INT0 = 1. Setting Gate = 1 allows
the timer to be controlled by external input INT0, to facilitate
pulsewidth measurements. TR0 is a control bit in the special
function register TCON; Gate is in TMOD. The 13-bit register
consists of all eight bits of TH0 and the lower five bits of TL0.
The upper three bits of TL0 are indeterminate and should be
ignored. Setting the run flag (TR0) does not clear the registers.

Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that the timer register is
running with all 16 bits. Mode 1 is shown in Figure 49.

Mode 3 (Two 8-Bit Timer/Counters)
Mode 3 has different effects on Timer 0 and Timer 1. Timer 1 in
Mode 3 simply holds its count. The effect is the same as setting
TR1 = 0. Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two
separate counters. This configuration is shown in Figure 51.
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 3 is
provided for applications requiring an extra 8-bit timer or counter.
When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned on and off
by switching it out of and into its own Mode 3, or can still be
used by the serial interface as a baud rate generator. In fact, it
can be used, in any application not requiring an interrupt from
Timer 1 itself.

TIMER/COUNTER 2 OPERATING MODES
The following paragraphs describe the operating modes for
Timer/Counter 2. The operating modes are selected by bits in
the T2CON SFR as shown in Table XXIX.
In Autoreload Mode, there are two options, selected by bit
EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, when Timer 2 rolls over it
not only sets TF2 but also causes the Timer 2 registers to be
reloaded with the 16-bit value in registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H,
which are preset by software. If EXEN2 = 1, Timer 2 still performs
the above, but with the added feature that a 1-to-0 transition at
external input T2EX will also trigger the 16-bit reload and set
EXF2. The Autoreload Mode is illustrated in Figure 52.

16-Bit Capture Mode
In the Capture Mode, there are again two options, selected by bit
EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer or
counter that, upon overflowing, sets bit TF2, the Timer 2 overflow bit, which can be used to generate an interrupt. If EXEN2 = 1,
Timer 2 still performs the above, but a l-to-0 transition on
external input T2EX causes the current value in the Timer 2
registers, TL2 and TH2, to be captured into registers RCAP2L
and RCAP2H, respectively. In addition, the transition at T2EX
causes bit EXF2 in T2CON to be set; EXF2, like TF2, can generate an interrupt. The Capture Mode is illustrated in Figure 53.
The baud rate generator mode is selected by RCLK = 1 and/or
TCLK = 1.
In either case, if Timer 2 is being used to generate the baud rate,
the TF2 interrupt flag will not occur. Therefore Timer 2 interrupts
will not occur so they do not have to be disabled. However, in
this mode, the EXF2 flag can still cause interrupts and this can
be used as a third external interrupt.
Baud rate generation will be described as part of the UART
serial port operation.

Timer/Counter 2 Data Registers
Timer/Counter 2 also has two pairs of 8-bit data registers associated with it. These are used as both timer data registers and timer
capture/reload registers.

Timer 2, data high byte and low byte.
SFR Address = CDH, CCH, respectively.
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 receive register. However,
if the first byte still has not been read by the time reception of
the second byte is complete, the first byte will be lost. The
physical interface to the serial data network is via Pins
RxD(P3.0) and TxD(P3.1), while the SFR interface to the UART
comprises the following registers:
SBUF
The serial port receive and transmit registers are both accessed
through the SBUF SFR (SFR address = 99H). Writing to SBUF
loads the transmit register and reading SBUF accesses a physically
separate receive register.

RI will be set as soon as the byte of data has been received. In Modes 2 or 3, if SM2 is set, RI will not be

Modes 1, 2, and 3.
RI must be cleared by software.
Mode 0 is selected by clearing both the SM0 and SM1 bits in the
SFR SCON. Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD outputs
the shift clock. Eight data bits are transmitted or received. Transmission is initiated by any instruction that writes to SBUF. The
data is shifted out of the RxD line. The 8 bits are transmitted
with the least-significant bit (LSB) first, as shown in Figure 54.
Reception is initiated when the Receive Enable bit (REN) is
1 and the Receive Interrupt bit (RI) is 0. When RI is cleared,
the data is clocked into the RxD line and the clock pulses are
output from the TxD line.

Mode 1: 8-Bit UART, Variable Baud Rate
Mode 1 is selected by clearing SM0 and setting SM1. Each data
byte (LSB first) is preceded by a start bit (0) and followed by a
stop bit (1). Therefore 10 bits are transmitted on TxD or received
on RxD. The baud rate can be set by Timer 1 or Timer 2 (or
both). Alternatively, a dedicated baud rate generator, Timer 3, is
provided on-chip to generate high speed, very accurate baud rates.
Transmission is initiated by writing to SBUF. The ‘write to
SBUF’ signal also loads a 1 (stop bit) into the ninth bit position
of the Transmit Shift Register. The data is output bit by bit until
the stop bit appears on TxD and the transmit interrupt flag (TI)
is automatically set as shown in Figure 55.

Reception is initiated when a 1-to-0 transition is detected on
RxD. Assuming a valid start bit was detected, character reception continues. The start bit is skipped and the eight data bits
are clocked into the serial port shift register. When all eight bits
have been clocked in, the following events occur:
•The eight bits in the receive shift register are latched into
SBUF
•The ninth bit (stop bit) is clocked into RB8 in SCON
•The Receiver Interrupt flag (RI) is set
if, and only if, the following conditions are met at the time the
final shift pulse is generated:
•RI = 0, and
•
Either SM2 = 0, or SM2 = 1 and the received stop bit = 1.
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost and RI is not set.
Mode 2: 9-Bit UART with Fixed Baud Rate
Mode 2 is selected by setting SM0 and clearing SM1. In this
mode, the UART operates in 9-bit mode with a fixed baud rate.
The baud rate is fixed at Core_Clk/64 by default, although by
setting the SMOD bit in PCON, the frequency can be doubled
to Core_Clk/32. Eleven bits are transmitted or received, a start
bit (0), eight data bits, a programmable ninth bit, and a stop bit
(1). The ninth bit is most often used as a parity bit, although it
can be used for anything, including a ninth data bit if required.
To transmit, the eight data bits must be written into SBUF. The
ninth bit must be written to TB8 in SCON. When transmission
is initiated, the eight data bits (from SBUF) are loaded onto the
transmit shift register (LSB first). The contents of TB8 are loaded
into the ninth bit position of the transmit shift register.
The transmission will start at the next valid baud rate clock.
The TI flag is set as soon as the stop bit appears on TxD.
Reception for Mode 2 is similar to that of Mode 1. The eight
data bytes are input at RxD (LSB first) and loaded onto the
Receive Shift Register. When all eight bits have been clocked in,
the following events occur:
•The eight bits in the Receive Shift Register are latched
into SBUF
•The ninth data bit is latched into RB8 in SCON
•The Receiver Interrupt flag (RI) is set
if, and only if, the following conditions are met at the time the
final shift pulse is generated:
•RI = 0, and
•
Either SM2 = 0, or SM2 = 1 and the received stop bit = 1.
If either of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost and RI is not set.
Mode 3: 9-Bit UART with Variable Baud Rate
Mode 3 is selected by setting both SM0 and SM1. In this mode,
the 8051 UART serial port operates in 9-bit mode with a variable
baud rate determined by either Timer 1 or Timer 2. The operation of the 9-bit UART is the same as for Mode 2, but the baud
rate can be varied as for Mode 1.
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.
UART Serial Port Baud Rate Generation
Mode 0 Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate in Mode 0 is fixed:
Mode 2 Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of the SMOD
bit in the PCON SFR. If SMOD = 0, the baud rate is 1/64 of the
core clock. If SMOD = 1, the baud rate is 1/32 of the core clock:

Traditionally, the baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined
by the overflow rate in Timer 1 or Timer 2, or both (one for
transmit and the other for receive). On the ADuC834, however,
the baud rate can also be generated via a separate baud rate
generator to achieve higher baud rates and allow all three to be
used for other functions.

BAUD RATE GENERATION USING TIMER 1 AND TIMER 2
Timer 1 Generated Baud Rates
When Timer 1 is used as the baud rate generator, the baud rates

The timer itself can be configured for either timer or counter
operation, and in any of its three running modes. In the most
typical application, it is configured for timer operation, in the
Autoreload Mode (high nibble of TMOD = 0100 binary). In
that case, the baud rate is given by the formula:

A very low baud rate can also be achieved with Timer 1 by
leaving the Timer 1 interrupt enabled, configuring the timer to
run as a 16-bit timer (high nibble of TMOD = 0100 binary), and
using the Timer 1 interrupt to do a 16-bit software reload.
Table XXXI shows some commonly-used baud rates and how
they might be calculated from a core clock frequency of 1.5728
MHz and 12.58 MHz using Timer 1. Generally speaking, a 5%
error is tolerable using asynchronous (start/stop) communications.
Baud rates can also be generated using Timer 2. Using Timer 2
is similar to using Timer 1 in that the timer must overflow 16
times before a bit is transmitted/received. Because Timer 2 has
a 16-bit Autoreload Mode, a wider range of baud rates is possible using Timer 2.
Mode 1 and ModeBaud RateTimer Overflow Rate31162=

()
Therefore when Timer 2 is used to generate baud rates, the
timer increments every two clock cycles and not every core
machine cycle as before. Thus, it increments six times faster
than Timer 1, and therefore baud rates six times faster are possible. Because Timer 2 has a 16-bit autoreload capability, very
low baud rates are still possible.
Timer 2 is selected as the baud rate generator by setting the
TCLK and/or RCLK in T2CON. The baud rates for transmit
and receive can be simultaneously different. Setting RCLK and/or
TCLK puts Timer 2 into its baud rate generator mode as shown
in Figure 56. In this case, the baud rate is given by the formula:

BAUD RATE GENERATION USING TIMER 3
The high integer dividers in a UART block means that high
speed baud rates are not always possible using some particular
crystals. e.g., using a 12 MHz crystal, a baud rate of 115200 is
not possible. To address this problem the ADuC834 has added
a dedicated baud rate timer (Timer 3) specifically for generating
highly accurate baud rates.
Timer 3 can be used instead of Timer 1 or Timer 2 for generating
very accurate high speed UART baud rates including 115200
and 230400. Timer 3 also allows a much wider range of baud
rates to be obtained. In fact, every desired bit rate from 12 bits
to 393216 bits can be generated to within an error of ±0.8%.
Timer 3 also frees up the other three timers allowing them to be
used for different applications. A block diagram of Timer 3 is
shown in Figure 57.

Interrupt Priority
The Interrupt Enable registers are written by the user to enable
individual interrupt sources, while the Interrupt Priority registers
allow the user to select one of two priority levels for each interrupt. An interrupt of a high priority may interrupt the service
routine of a low priority interrupt, and if two interrupts of different
priority occur at the same time, the higher level interrupt will be
serviced first. An interrupt cannot be interrupted by another
interrupt of the same priority level. If two interrupts of the same
priority level occur simultaneously, a polling sequence is used to
determine which interrupt is serviced first. The polling sequence
is shown in Table XXXVIII.
When an interrupt occurs, the program counter is pushed onto
the stack and the corresponding interrupt vector address is
loaded into the program counter. The interrupt vector addresses
are shown in Table XXXIX.
*The watchdog can be configured to generate an interrupt instead of a reset
when it times out. This is used for logging errors or to examine the internal
status of the microcontroller core to understand, from a software debug point
of view, why a watchdog timeout occurred. The watchdog interrupt is slightly
different from the normal interrupts in that its priority level is always set to 1
and it is not possible to disable the interrupt via the global disable bit (EA) in
the IE SFR. This is done to ensure that the interrupt will always be responded
to if a watchdog timeout occurs. The watchdog will only produce an interrupt
if the watchdog timeout is greater than zero.

ADuC834
ADuC834 HARDWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
This section outlines some of the key hardware design considerations that must be addressed when integrating the ADuC834
into any hardware system.
External Memory Interface
In addition to its internal program and data memories, the
ADuC834 can access up to 64 Kbytes of external program memory
(ROM/PROM/and so on) and up to 16 Mbytes of external data
memory (SRAM).
To select from which code space (internal or external program
memory) to begin executing code, tie the EA (external access)
pin high or low, respectively. When EA is high (pulled up to
V
), user program execution will start at Address 0 in the
DD
internal 62 Kbytes Flash/EE code space. When EA is low (tied
to ground) user program execution will start at Address 0 in the
external code space. When executing from internal code space,
accesses to the program space above F7FFH (62 Kbytes) will be
read as NOP instructions.
Note that a second very important function of the EA pin is
described in the Single Pin Emulation Mode section.
External program memory (if used) must be connected to
the ADuC834 as illustrated in Figure 58. Sixteen I/O lines
(Ports 0 and 2) are dedicated to bus functions during external
program memory fetches. Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed
address/databus. It emits the low byte of the program counter
(PCL) as an address, and then goes into a high impedance input
state awaiting the arrival of the code byte from the program
memory. During the time that the low byte of the program counter
is valid on P0, the signal ALE (Address Latch Enable) clocks
this byte into an external address latch. Meanwhile, Port 2 (P2)
emits the high byte of the program counter (PCH), and PSEN
strobes the EPROM and the code byte is read into the ADuC834.

Figure 58. External Program Memory Interface
Note that program memory addresses are always 16 bits wide,
even in cases where the actual amount of program memory used
is less than 64 Kbytes. External program execution sacrifices two
of the 8-bit ports (P0 and P2) to the function of addressing the
program memory. While executing from external program memory,
Ports 0 and 2 can be used simultaneously for read/write access
to external data memory, but not for general-purpose I/O.
Though both external program memory and external data
memory are accessed using some of the same pins, the two are
completely independent of each other from a software point of
view. For example, the chip can read/write external data memory
while executing from external program memory.
Figure 59 shows a hardware configuration for accessing up to
64 Kbytes of external data memory. This interface is standard
to any 8051 compatible MCU.

In either implementation, Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed
address/databus. It emits the low byte of the data pointer (DPL)
as an address, which is latched by ALE prior to data being placed
on the bus by the ADuC834 (write operation) or the external
data memory (read operation). Port 2 (P2) provides the data
pointer page byte (DPP) to be latched by ALE, followed by the
data pointer high byte (DPH). If no latch is connected to P2,
DPP is ignored by the SRAM, and the 8051 standard of 64 Kbyte
external data memory access is maintained.

read and write access can be found in the Timing Specification
sections of this data sheet.

Power Supplies
The ADuC834’s operational power supply voltage range is
2.7 V to 5.25 V. Although the guaranteed data sheet specifications are given only for power supplies within 2.7 V to 3.6 V or
5% of the nominal 5 V level, the chip will function equally well
at any power supply level between 2.7 V and 5.25 V.
Separate analog and digital power supply pins (AV
and DV
DD
DD
respectively) allow AVDD to be kept relatively free of noisy digital signals often present on the system DVDD line. In this mode,
the part can also operate with split supplies; that is, using different voltage supply levels for each supply. For example, this
means that the system can be designed to operate with a DV
DD
voltage level of 3 V while the AVDD level can be at 5 V, or viceversa if required. A typical split supply configuration is shown in
Figure 61.

Notice that in both Figure 61 and Figure 62 a large value (10 F)
reservoir capacitor sits on DV
and a separate 10 F capacitor
DD
sits on AVDD. Also, local decoupling capacitors (0.1 F) are
located at each VDD pin of the chip. As per standard design
practice, be sure to include all of these capacitors and ensure
the smaller capacitors are closest to each V
pin with lead
DD
lengths as short as possible. Connect the ground terminal of
each of these capacitors directly to the underlying ground plane.
Finally, it should also be noticed that, at all times, the analog
and digital ground pins on the ADuC834 should be referenced
to the same system ground reference point.
Power-On Reset Operation
An internal POR (Power-On Reset) is implemented on the
ADuC834. For DV
below 2.45 V, the internal POR will hold
DD
the ADuC834 in reset. As DVDD rises above 2.45 V, an internal
timer will time out for typically 128 ms before the part is
released from reset. The user must ensure that the power supply
has reached a stable 2.7 V minimum level by this time. Likewise
on power-down, the internal POR will hold the ADuC834 in
reset until the power supply has dropped below 1 V. Figure 63
illustrates the operation of the internal POR in detail.
Figure 61. External Dual Supply Connections
As an alternative to providing two separate power supplies,
can be kept quiet by placing a small series resistor and/or

ferrite bead between it and DV
, and then decoupling AV

separately to ground. An example of this configuration is shown
in Figure 62. In this configuration, other analog circuitry (such
as op amps, voltage reference, and so on) can be powered from
the AV

Power Consumption
The DVDD power supply current consumption is specified in
normal, idle, and power-down modes. The AV
power supply
DD
current is specified with the analog peripherals disabled. The
normal mode power consumption represents the current drawn
from DV
by the digital core. The other on-chip peripherals
DD
(watchdog timer, power supply monitor, and so on) consume
gible current and are therefore lumped in with the normal
negli
operating current here. Of course, the user must add any currents sourced by the parallel and serial I/O pins, and those
sourced by the DAC in order to determine the total current
needed at the ADuC834’s DV
current drawn from the DV
and AVDD supply pins. Also,
DD
supply will increase by approxi-
DD
mately 5 mA during Flash/EE erase and program cycles.

ADuC834
Power Saving Modes
Setting the Idle and Power-Down Mode Bits, PCON.0 and
PCON.1 respectively, in the PCON SFR described in Table II
allows the chip to be switched from Normal mode into Idle
mode, and also into full Power-Down mode.
In Idle mode, the oscillator continues to run, but the core clock
generated from the PLL is halted. The on-chip peripherals
continue to receive the clock and remain functional. The CPU
status is preserved with the stack pointer, program counter, and
all other internal registers maintain their data during Idle mode.
Port pins and DAC output pins also retain their states, and ALE
and PSEN outputs go high in this mode. The chip will recover
from Idle mode upon receiving any enabled interrupt, or on
receiving a hardware reset.
In Power-Down mode, both the PLL and the clock to the core are
stopped. The on-chip oscillator can be halted or can continue to
oscillate, depending on the state of the oscillator power-down
bit (OSC_PD) in the PLLCON SFR. The TIC, being driven
directly from the oscillator, can also be enabled during powerdown. All other on-chip peripherals however, are shut down. Port
pins retain their logic levels in this mode, but the DAC output
goes to a high impedance state (three-state) while ALE and PSEN
outputs are held low. During full Power-Down mode with the
oscillator and wake-up timer running, the ADuC834 typically
consumes a total of 15 A. There are five ways of terminating
Power-Down mode:
Asserting the RESET Pin (Pin 15)
Returns to Normal Mode. All registers are set to their reset
default value and program execution starts at the reset vector
once the RESET pin is deasserted.
Cycling Power
All registers are set to their default state and program execution
starts at the reset vector approximately 128 ms later.
Time Interval Counter (TIC) Interrupt
If the OSC_PD bit in the PLLCON SFR is clear, the 32 kHz
oscillator will remain powered up even in Power-Down mode. If
the Time Interval Counter (Wakeup/RTC timer) is enabled,
aTIC interrupt will wake the ADuC834 up from Power-Down
mode. The CPU services the TIC interrupt. The RETI at the
end of the TIC ISR will return the core to the instruction after
that which enabled power-down.
SPI Interrupt
If the SERIPD Bit in the PCON SFR is set, then an SPI interrupt, if enabled, will wake the ADuC834 up from Power-Down
mode. The CPU services the SPI interrupt. The RETI at the
end of the ISR will return the core to the instruction after that
which enabled power-down.
INT0 Interrupt
If the INT0PD bit in the PCON SFR is set, an external
interrupt 0, if enabled, will wake up the ADuC834 from powerdown. The CPU services the SPI interrupt. The RETI at the end
of the ISR will return the core to the instruction after that which
enabled power-down.
Wake-Up from Power-Down Latency
Even with the 32 kHz crystal enabled during power-down, the
PLL will take some time to lock after a wake-up from powerdown. Typically, the PLL will take about 1 ms to lock. During
this time, code will execute but not at the specified frequency.
Some operations require an accurate clock, for example UART
communications, to achieve specified 50/60 Hz rejection from
the ADCs. The following code may be used to wait for the PLL
to lock:
WAITFORLOCK:
MOV A, PLLCON
JNB ACC.6, WAITFORLOCK
If the crystal has been powered down during power-down, there
is an additional delay associated with the startup of the crystal
oscillator before the PLL can lock. 32 kHz crystals are inherently
slow to oscillate, typically taking about 150 ms. Once again, during
this time before lock, code will execute but the exact frequency
of the clock cannot be guaranteed. Again for any timing sensitive
operations, it is recommended to wait for lock using the lock bit
in PLLCON as shown above.
Grounding and Board Layout Recommendations
As with all high resolution data converters, special attention must
be paid to grounding and PC board layout of ADuC834-based
designs in order to achieve optimum performance from the
ADCs and DAC.
Although the ADuC834 has separate pins for analog and digital
ground (AGND and DGND), the user must not tie these to two
separate ground planes unless the two ground planes are connected together very close to the ADuC834, as illustrated in the
simplified example of Figure 64a. In systems where digital and
analog ground planes are connected together somewhere else
(at the system’s power supply for example), they cannot be
connected again near the ADuC834 since a ground loop would
result. In these cases, tie the ADuC834’s AGND and DGND
Pins all to the analog ground plane, as illustrated in Figure 64b.
In systems with only one ground plane, ensure that the digital
and analog components are physically separated onto separate
halves of the board such that digital return currents do not flow
near analog circuitry and vice versa. The ADuC834 can then be
placed between the digital and analog sections, as illustrated in
Figure 64c.
In all of these scenarios, and in more complicated real-life applications, keep in mind the flow of current from the supplies and
back to ground. Make sure the return paths for all currents are
as close as possible to the paths the currents took to reach their
destinations. For example, do not power components on the
analog side of Figure 64b with DV
currents from DV
to flow through AGND. Also, try to avoid
DD
since that would force return
DD
digital currents flowing under analog circuitry, which could happen
if the user placed a noisy digital chip on the left half of the board
in Figure 64c. Whenever possible, avoid large discontinuities in
the ground plane(s) (such as are formed by a long trace on the
same layer), since they force return signals to travel a longer path.
And of course, make all connections to the ground plane directly,
with little or no trace separating the pin from its via to ground.

Figure 64. System Grounding Schemes
If the user plans to connect fast logic signals (rise/fall time < 5 ns)
to any of the ADuC834’s digital inputs, add a series resistor to
each relevant line to keep rise and fall times longer than 5 ns at
the ADuC834 input pins. A value of 100 Ω or 200 Ω is usually
sufficient to prevent high speed signals from coupling capacitively into the ADuC834 and affecting the accuracy of ADC
conversions.
ADuC834 System Self-Identification
In some hardware designs, it may be an advantage for the
software running on the ADuC834 target to identify the host
MicroConverter. For example, code running on the ADuC834
may also be used with the ADuC824 or the ADuC816, and is
required to operate differently.

The CHIPID SFR is a read-only register located at SFR
address C2H. The upper nibble of this SFR designates the
MicroConverter within the Σ-∆ ADC family. User software can
read this SFR to identify the host MicroConverter and thus
execute slightly different code if required. The CHIPID SFR reads
as follows for the Σ-∆ ADC family of MicroConverter products.
As described earlier, the core clock frequency for the ADuC834
is generated from an on-chip PLL that locks onto a multiple
(384 times) of 32.768 kHz. The latter is generated from an
internal clock oscillator. To use the internal clock oscillator,
connect a 32.768 kHz parallel resonant crystal between XTAL1
and XTAL2 pins (32 and 33) as shown in Figure 65.
As shown in the typical external crystal connection diagram in
Figure 65, two internal 12 pF capacitors are provided on-chip.
These are connected internally, directly to the XTAL1 and
XTAL2 pins, and the total input capacitances at both pins is
detailed in the Specification section of this data sheet. The value
of the total load capacitance required for the external crystal
should be the value recommended by the crystal manufacturer
for use with that specific crystal. In many cases, because of the
on-chip capacitors, additional external load capacitors will not
be required.

Connections Other Hardware Considerations
To facilitate in-circuit programming, plus in-circuit debug and

connection points in their hardware that will allow easy access
to Download, Debug, and Emulation modes.
REV. A–66–
ADuC834
OTHER HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
In-Circuit Serial Download Access
Nearly all ADuC834 designs will want to take advantage of the
in-circuit reprogrammability of the chip. This is accomplished
by a connection to the ADuC834’s UART, which requires an
external RS-232 chip for level translation if downloading code
from a PC. Basic configuration of an RS-232 connection is
illustrated in Figure 66 with a simple ADM3202-based circuit.
If users would rather not include an RS-232 chip onto the target
board, refer to the application note uC006–A 4-Wire UART-to-PCInterface available at www.analog.com/microconverter, for a
simple (and zero-cost-per-board) method of gaining in-circuit
serial download access to the ADuC834.
In addition to the basic UART connections, users will also need
a way to trigger the chip into Download mode. This is accomplished via a 1 kΩ pull-down resistor that can be jumpered onto
the PSEN pin, as shown in Figure 66. To get the ADuC834 into
Download mode, simply connect this jumper and power-cycle
the device (or manually reset the device, if a manual reset button
is available) and it will be ready to receive a new program serially.
With the jumper removed, the device will power-on in Normal
mode (and run the program) whenever power is cycled or RESET
is toggled.
Note that PSEN is normally an output (as described in the
External Memory Interface section) and it is sampled as an input
only on the falling edge of RESET (i.e., at power-up or upon an
external manual reset). Note also that if any external circuitry
unintentionally pulls PSEN low during power-up or reset events,
it could cause the chip to enter Download Mode and therefore
fail to begin user code execution as it should. To prevent this,
ensure that no external signals are capable of pulling the PSEN
pin low, except for the external PSEN jumper itself.
Embedded Serial Port Debugger
From a hardware perspective, entry to Serial Port Debug mode
is identical to the serial download entry sequence described
above. In fact, both Serial Download and Serial Port Debug
modes can be thought of as essentially one mode of operation
used in two different ways.
Note that the serial port debugger is fully contained on the
ADuC834 device, (unlike “ROM monitor” type debuggers) and
therefore no external memory is needed to enable in-system
debug sessions.
Single-Pin Emulation Mode
Also built into the ADuC834 is a dedicated controller for singlepin in-circuit emulation (ICE) using standard production ADuC834
devices. In this mode, emulation access is gained by connection
to a single pin, the EA pin. Normally, this pin is hard-wired
either high or low to select execution from internal or external
program memory space, as described earlier. To enable single-pin
emulation mode, however, users will need to pull the EA pin
high through a 1 kΩ resistor as shown in Figure 66. The emulator
will then connect to the 2-pin header also shown in Figure 66.
To be compatible with the standard connector that comes
with the single-pin emulator available from Accutron Limited
(www.accutron.com), use a 2-pin 0.1-inch pitch Friction Lock
header from Molex (www.molex.com) such as their part number
22-27-2021. Be sure to observe the polarity of this header. As
represented in Figure 66, when the Friction Lock tab is at the
right, the ground pin should be the lower of the two pins (when
viewed from the top).

Typical System Configuration
A typical ADuC834 configuration is shown in Figure 66. It
summarizes some of the hardware considerations discussed in
the previous paragraphs.
Figure 66 also includes connections for a typical analog measurement application of the ADuC834, namely an interface to an
RTD (Resistive Temperature Device). The arrangement shown
is commonly referred to as a 4-wire RTD configuration.
Here, the on-chip excitation current sources are enabled to excite
the sensor. The excitation current flows directly through the
RTD generating a voltage across the RTD proportional to its

Download—In Circuit Downloader
The Serial Downloader is a software program that allows the user
to serially download an assembled program (Intel Hex format
file) to the on-chip program FLASH memory via the serial COM1
port on a standard PC. An Application Note (uC004) detailing
this serial download protocol is available from www.analog.com/
microconverter.
Debugger/Emulator—In-Circuit Debugger/Emulator
The Debugger/Emulator is a Windows application that allows the
user to debug code execution on silicon using the MicroConverter
UART serial port or via a single pin to provide non intrusive
debug. The debugger provides access to all on-chip peripherals
during a typical debug session, including single-step and multiple break-point code execution control. C source and assembly
level debug are both possible with the emulator.
ADSIM—Windows Simulator
The Simulator is a Windows application that fully simulates the
MicroConverter functionality including ADC and DAC peripherals. The simulator provides an easy-to-use, intuitive, interface to
the MicroConverter functionality and integrates many standard
debug features, including multiple breakpoints, single stepping,
and code execution trace capability. This tool can be used both
as a tutorial guide to the part as well as an efficient way to prove
code functionality before moving to a hardware platform.
