AT89C51RB2/RC2
The AT89C51R B2/RC2 retains all features of the 80C52 with 256 Bytes of internal RAM, a 9-source 4-level interrupt controller and three timer/counters.
In addition, the AT89C51RB2/RC2 has a Programmable Counter Array, an XRAM of 1024 Bytes, a Hardware Watchdog Timer, a Keyboard Interface, an SPI Interface, a more versatile serial channel that facilitates multiprocessor communication (EUART) and a speed improvement mechanism (X2 mode).
The Pinout is the standard 40/44 pins of the C52. The fully static design reduces system power consumption of the AT89C51RB2/ RC2 by
allowing it to bring the clock frequency down to any value, even DC, without loss of data. The AT 89C5 1RB 2/RC 2 has 2 soft ware -selec tabl e mo des of redu ced acti vity an d 8 -bit
clock prescaler for further reduction in power consumption. In Idle mode, the CPU is fro­zen while the peripherals and the interrupt system are still operating. In power-down mode, the RAM is saved and all other functions are inoperative.
The added features of the AT89C51RB2/RC2 make it more powerful for applications that need pulse width modulation, high speed I/O and counting capabilities such as alarms, motor control, corded phones, and smart card readers.

Port 2 emits the high - order address Byte during fetches from exter nal program memory and during accesses to external data memory that use 16-bit addresses (MOV X @D PTR). In this application, it uses strong internal pull-ups emitting 1s. During accesses to external data memory that use 8-bit addresses (MOVX @Ri ), port 2 emits the contents of the P2 SFR. Some Port 2 pi ns receive the high order addr ess bits during EP ROM programming and verification:

Port Types AT89C51RB2 /RC2 I/O ports (P1, P2, P3) imp lement the quasi-bid irectional o utput that

is com mon on the 8 0C 51 and mos t of its d eriva tive s. This o utp ut ty pe ca n b e used as both an i nput and ou tput w ithout the need to rec onfigure the port. This is p ossible because when the port outputs a logic high, it is weakly driven, allowing an external device to pull the pin low. When the pin is pulled low, it is dri ven strongly and able to sink a fairly large current. These features are somew hat similar to an open drain output except that there are three pull-up transistors in the quasi-bidirectional output that serve different purposes. One of these pul l-ups, called the "weak " pull-up, is turned on when­ever the port latch for the pin contains a logic 1. The weak pull-up sources a very small current that will pull the pin high if it is left floating. A second pull-up, called the "medium" pull-up, is turned on when the port latch for the pin contains a logic 1 and the pin itself is also at a logic 1 level. This pull-up provides the primary s ource current for a quas i-bidi­rectional pin that is outputting a 1. If a pin that has a logic 1 on it is pulled low by an external device, the medi um pull-up turn s off, and only the we ak pull-up remains on . In order to pull the pin low under these conditions, the external device has to sink enough current to overpow er the me dium pull -up and take the voltage on the port pi n below its input threshold.
The third pull-up is referred to as the "strong" pull-up. This pull-up is used to speed up low-to-high transitions on a quasi-bidirectional port pin when the port latch changes from a logic 0 to a logic 1. When this occurs, the strong pu ll-up turns on for a brief time, two CPU clocks, in order to pull the port pin high quickly. Then it turns off again.
The DPU bit (bit 7 in AUXR register) allows to disable the perman ent we ak pull up of all ports when latch data is logical 0.
The quasi-bidirectional port configuration is shown in Figure 3.

X2 Feature The AT89C51RB2/RC2 core needs only 6 clock periods per machine cycle. This feature

called ‘X2’ provides the following advantages:
Divide frequency crystals by 2 (cheaper crystals) while keeping same CPU power.
Save power consumption while keeping same CPU power (oscillator power saving).
Sa ve power consum ption by dividing dynam ical ly the operating frequency by 2 in operating and idle modes.
Increase CPU power by 2 while keeping same crystal frequency.
:
In order to keep the original C51 compatibility, a divider by 2 is inserted between the XTAL1 signal and the main clock input of the core (phase generator). This divider m ay be disabled by software.
Description The clock for the w hole ci rcuit a nd peri pherals i s first divi ded by 2 before being used by
the CPU core and the peripherals. This allows any cyclic ratio to be accepted on XTAL1 input. In X2 mode, as this divider is
bypassed, the signals on XTAL1 must have a cyclic ratio between 40 to 60%. Figure 5 shows the clock generation block diagram. X2 bit is validated on the rising edge
of the XTAL1÷2 to avoid g litches whe n swi tching f rom X2 t o X1 mod e. Figure 6 show s the switching mode waveforms.

INC is a short (2 Bytes) a nd fast (12 clocks) way to manipulate the DPS bit in the AUXR1 SFR. However, note t hat the I NC i nstruction does not directly force the DPS bit to a particular state, but simply toggles it. In simple routines, such as the block move example, only the fact that DPS is toggled in the proper sequence matters, not its actual value. In other words, the block move routine works the same whether DPS is '0' or '1' on entry. Observe that without the last instruction (INC AUXR 1), the routine will ex it with DPS in the opposite state.

Expanded RAM (XRAM)

The AT89C51RB2/RC2 provides additional bytes of random access memory (RAM) space for increased data parameter handling and high-level language usage.
AT89C51RB2/RC2 devices have expanded RAM in external data space; maximu m size and location are described in Table 18.
Table 18. Expanded RAM
Address
Part Number XRAM Size
AT89C51RB2/RC2 1024 00h 3FFh
Start End
The AT89C51RB2/RC2 has internal data memory that is mapped into four separate segments.
The four segments are:
1. The Lower 128 Bytes of RAM (addresses 00h to 7Fh) are directly and indirectly addressable.
2. The Upper 128 Bytes of RAM (addresses 80h to FFh) are indirectly addressable only.
3. The Special Function Registers, SFRs, (addresses 80h to FFh) are directly addressable only.
4. The expanded RAM Bytes are indirectly accessed by MOVX instructions, and with the EXTRAM bit cleared in the AUXR register (see Table 18).
The lower 128 Bytes can be accessed by either direct or indirect addressing. The Upper 128 Bytes can be accessed by indirect addressing only. The Upper 128 Bytes occupy the same address sp ace as the S FR. Th at means they have the same addres s, but are physically separate from SFR space.

Accesses
When an instruction ac cesses an i nternal location ab ove addres s 7Fh, the CPU knows whether the access is to the upper 128 Byte s of data RAM or to SFR space by the addressing mode used in the instruction.
Instructions that use direct addressing access SFR space. For example: MOV 0A0H, # data, accesses the SFR at location 0A0h (which is P2).

AT89C51RB2/RC2
Instruc tions that use indirect addressing access the Upper 128 Bytes of data RAM. For example: MOV @R0, # data where R0 contains 0A0h, accesses the data Byte at address 0A0h, rather than P2 (whose address is 0A0h).
The XRAM Bytes can be accessed by indirect addressing, with EXTRAM bit cleared and MOVX instructions. This part of memory that is physically located on-chip, logically occupies the first Bytes of external data memory. The bits XRS0 and XRS1 are used to hide a part of the available XRAM as explained in Table 18. This can be useful if external peripherals are mapped at addresses already used by the internal XRAM.
With EXTRAM = 0, combination with any of the registers R0, R1 of the selected bank or DPTR. An access to XRAM will not af fect ports P0, P2, P3 .6 (WR) and P3.7 ( R D) . For example, with EXTRAM = 0, MOVX @R0, # data where R0 contains 0A0H, accesses the XRAM at address 0A0H rather than external memory. An access to external data memory locations higher than the accessible size of the XRAM will be performed with the MOVX DPTR instructions in the same way as in the standard 80C51, with P0 and P2 as data/address busses, and P3.6 and P3.7 as write and read timing signals. Accesses to XRAM above 0FFH can only be done by the use of DPTR.
With EXTRAM = 1 80C51. MOVX @ Ri will provide an eight-bit address multiplexed with data on Port0 and any output port pins can be used to output higher order address bits. This is to provide the external pag ing c apa b ili ty. MOVX @ D PTR w ill ge nerate a sixteen-bit address. Port2 outputs the high-order eight address bits (the contents of DPH) while Port0 multiplexes the low-order eight address bits (DPL) with data. MOVX @ RI and MOVX @DPTR will generate either read or write signals on P3.6 (WR (RD
).
the XRAM is indirectly addressed, using the MOVX instruction in
, MOVX @RI and MOVX @DPTR will be similar to the standard
) and P3.7
The stack pointer (SP) may be located anywhere in the 256 Bytes RAM (lower and upper RAM) internal data memory. The stack may not be located in the XRAM.
The M0 bit allows to stretc h the XRAM tim ings; if M0 is set, the r ead and wr ite pulses are extended from 6 to 30 clock periods. This is useful to access externa l slow peripherals.

Timer 2 The Timer 2 in the AT89C51RB2/RC2 is the standard C52 Timer 2.

It is a 16-bit timer/counter: t he count is maintained by two e ight-bit timer registe rs, TH 2 and TL2 are cascaded. It is controlled by T2CON (Table 20) and T2MOD (Table 21) registers. Timer 2 operation is similar to Timer 0 and Timer 1C/T2 operation) or external pin T2 (counter operation) as the timer clock input. Setting TR2 allows TL2 to increment by the selected input.
Timer 2 has 3 operating modes: capture, autoreload and Ba ud Rate Generator. These modes are selected by the combination of RCLK, TCLK and CP/RL2
see the Atm el 8-bit Micro control ler Hardw are d escription f or the des criptio n of Cap ture and Baud Rate Generator Modes.
Timer 2 includes the following enhancements:

When T2EX is low, Timer 2 counts down. Timer underflow occurs when the count in the timer registers TH2 and TL2 equals the value stored in RCAP2H and RCAP2L registers. The underflow sets TF2 flag and reloads FFFFh into the timer registers.
The EXF2 bit toggles when Timer 2 overflows or underflows according to the direction of the count. EXF2 does not generate any interrupt . This bit can be used to provide 17-bit resolution.

In this mode, Timer 2 overflows do not generate interrupts.

Programmable Counter Array (PCA)

The PCA provides more timing capabilities with less CPU intervention than the standard timer/counters. Its adva ntages in clude reduc ed software ove rhead and improve d accu­racy. The PCA consis ts of a dedicated tim er/counter which serv es as the time bas e for an array of five com pare/ca pture Modu les.

timer, or high speed output m ode, an interrupt can be generated when the Module exe­cutes its function. All five Module s plus the PCA timer overflow share one interrupt vector.
The PCA timer/counter and compare/capture modules share Port 1 for external I/O. These pins a re listed belo w. If one or sev eral bits in the po rt are not used for the PCA, they can still be used for standard I/O.

The CMOD register includes three additional bits associated with the PCA.
The CIDL bit which allows the PCA to stop during idle mode.
The WDT E bit which enables or disables the watchdog function on Mo dule 4.
The ECF bit which when set causes an interrupt and the PCA overflow flag CF (in the CCON SFR) to be set when the PCA timer overflows.
The CCON register contains the run control bit for the PCA and the flags for the PCA timer (CF) and each Module (see Table 23).
Bit CR (CCON. 6) must be set by software to run the PCA. The PCA is shut off by clearing this bit.
Bit CF: The CF bit (CCON. 7) is set when the PCA counter overflows and an interrupt will be generated if the ECF bit in the CMOD register is set. The CF bit can only be cleared by software.
Bits 0 through 4 are the flags for the Modules (bit 0 for Module 0, bit 1 for Module 1, etc. ) and are set by hardware when either a match or a capture occurs. These flags also can only be cleared by software.

In addition, Module 4 can be used as a Watchdog Timer. Each Module in the PCA has a special function register associated with it. These regis-
ters are: CC APM0 f or Modu le 0, CCA PM1 for M odule 1, e tc. (see T able 24). The registers contain the bits that control the mode that each Module will operate in.
The ECCF bit (CCAPMn. 0 where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 depending on the Module) enables the CCF flag in the CCON SFR to generate an interrupt when a match or compare occurs in the associated Module.
PW M (CCAPMn. 1) enables the pulse width modulation mode.
The TOG bit (CCAPMn. 2) when set causes the CEX output associated with the Module to toggle when there is a match between the PCA counter and the Module's capture/compare register.
The match bit MAT (CCAPMn. 3) when set will cause the CCFn bit in the CCON register to be set when there is a match between the PCA counter and the Module's capture/compare register.
The next two bits CAPN (CCAPMn. 4) and CAPP (CCAPMn. 5) determine the edge that a capture input will be active on. The CAPN bit enables the negative edge, and the CAPP bit enables the positive edge. If both bits are set both edges will be enabled and a capture will occur for either transit ion.
The last bit in the register ECOM (CCAPMn. 6) when set enables the comparator function.

Pulse Width Modulator Mode

All of the PCA Modules can be used as PWM outputs. Fi gure 16 shows the PW M func ­tion. The frequency of the output depends on the source for the PCA timer. All of the Modules will have the sam e freque ncy of output be cause they all share the PCA timer. The duty cycle of each Module is independently variable using the module's capture register CCAPLn. When the value of the PCA CL SFR is less than the value in the mod­ule's CCAPLn SFR the output will be low, when it is equal to or greater than the output will be hig h. Wh en CL ov erfl ows f rom FF t o 00 , CC APL n is r eloa de d wi th th e val ue i n CCAPHn. This allows updat ing the PWM without glitches .

PCA Watchdog Timer An on-board watchdog timer is available with the PCA to improve the reliability of the

system without increasing chip count. Watchdog timers are useful for systems that are susceptible to noise, power glitches, or electrostatic discharge. Module 4 is the only PCA Module that can be programmed as a watchdog. Howev er, this Module can s till be used for other modes if the watchd og is not needed. Figure 14 shows a d iagram of how the watchdog works. The user pre-loads a 16-bit value in the compare registers. Just like the other compare modes, this 16-bit value is compared to the PCA timer value. If a match is allowed to occur, an internal reset will be generated. This will not cause the RST pin to be driven high.
42
In order to hold off the reset, the user has the following three options:
1. Periodically change the compare value so it will never match the PCA timer.
2. Periodically change the PCA timer value so it will never match the compare values.
3. Disable the watchdog by clearing the WDTE bit before a match occurs and then re-enable it.
The first two options are more reliable because th e watchdo g timer is never disabl ed as in option #3. If the program c ounter ev er g oes ast ray, a ma tch will eventu ally occur and cause an internal reset. The second option is also not recommended if other PCA Mod­ules are being used. Remember, the PCA timer is the time base for all modules;

changing the time base for other Modules would not be a good idea. Thus, in most appli­cations the first solution is the best option.

Serial I/O Port The serial I/O port in the AT89C51RB2/RC2 is compatible with the serial I/O port in the

80C52. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous communication modes. It operates as a Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) in three full-duplex modes (Modes 1, 2 and 3). Asynchronous transmission and reception can occur simultaneously and at different baud rates
Serial I/O port includes the following enhancements:

Framing error detection

Automatic address recognition
Framing Error Detection Framing bi t error de tect ion is provid ed for t he three asyn chro nous m odes (m odes 1, 2
and 3). To enable the framing bit error detection feat ure, set SMOD0 bit in PCON regis­ter (See Figure 17).

PCON (87h)
IDLPDGF 0GF1POF-SMOD0SMOD1
To UART framing error control
When this feature is enabl ed, the receiver chec ks each incoming da ta frame for a valid stop bit. An invalid stop bit may result from noise on the serial lines or f rom simultaneous transmissio n by two C PUs . If a valid stop bit is n ot found, t he Frami ng Error bit (FE) in SCON register (See Table 33.) bit is set. Software may exam ine FE b it after each reception to check for data errors. O nce set, only software or a reset can clear FE bi t. Subsequ ently received frames with valid stop bits cannot clear FE bit. When FE feature is enabled, RI rises on stop bit instead of the last data bit (See Figure 18. and Figure 19.).

The automatic address rec og nition feat ure is e nabled when the multiprocessor comm u­nication feature is enabled (SM2 bit in SCON register is set). Implemented in hardw are, auto matic add ress recog nition enh ances the multipro cessor communication feature by allowing the serial port to examine the address of each incoming command frame. Only when the serial port recognizes its own address, the receiver sets RI bit in SCON register to generate an interrupt. This ensures that the CPU is not interrupted by command frames addressed to other devices. If desired, the user may ena ble the a utomatic addres s recognit ion feature in m ode 1.In this configuration, the stop bit takes the place of the ninth data bit. Bit RI is set only when the received com mand fr ame ad dress matc hes the de vice’s addres s and is term inated by a valid stop bit. To support automatic addres s rec ognition, a dev i ce is identified b y a given ad dres s and a broadcast address.
Note: The multiprocessor communication and automatic address recognition features cannot
be enabled in mode 0 (i. e. sett ing SM2 bit in SCON register in mode 0 has no effect).
Given Address Each de vice has an individual address that is specified in SADDR register; the SADEN
register i s a mask byt e that conta ins don’t-c are bits (d efined b y zeros) to for m the device’s given address. The don’t-care bits provide the flexibility to address one or more slaves at a time. The follow ing ex am ple illu str at es how a given address is form ed. To address a device by its individual address, the SADEN mask byte must be 1111 1111b. For example:
SADDR0101 0110b SADEN
1111 110 0b
Given0101 01XXb
The following is an example of how to use given addresses to address different slaves:
Slave A:S A D D R1111 00 01 b
SADEN
1111 10 10b
Given1111 0X0Xb
Slave B:SADDR1111 0011b
SADEN
1111 10 01b
Given1111 0XX1b
Slav e C :S ADDR1111 0010b

1111 110 1b
Given1111 00X1b
4180E–8051–10/06
45
AT89C51RB2/RC2
The SADEN byte is selected so that each slave may be addressed separately. For slave A, bit 0 (the LSB) is a don’t-care bit; for slaves B and C, bit 0 is a 1.To commu­nicate with slave A only, the master must send an address where bit 0 is clear (e. g. 1111 0000b). For slave A, bit 1 is a 1; for slaves B and C, bit 1 is a don’t care bit. To communicate with slaves B and C, but not slave A, the master must send an address with bits 0 and 1 both set (e. g. 1111 0011b). To communicate with slaves A, B and C, the master must send an address with bit 0 set, bit 1 clear, and bit 2 clear (e. g. 1111 0001b).
Broadcast Address A broadcast address is formed from the logical OR of the SADDR and SADEN registers
with zeros defined as don’t-care bits, e. g. :
SADDR0101 0110b SADE N1111 1100b
Broadcast =SADDR OR SADEN1111 111Xb
The use of don’t-care bits provides flexibility in defining the broadcast address, however in most applicat ions, a broadc ast addre ss is FFh. The f ollowing is an e xample of us ing broadcast addresses:
Slave A:S A D D R1111 00 01 b
SADEN
1111 10 10b
Broadcast1111 1X11b,
Slave B:SADDR1111 0011b
SADEN
1111 10 01b
Broadcast1111 1X11B,
Slave C: SAD D R =1111 0011b
SADEN
1111 110 1b
Broadcast1111 1111b
For slaves A and B, bit 2 is a don’t care bit; for slave C, bit 2 is set. To communicate with all of the slaves, the master must send an ad dres s FF h. To com mu nicat e with slaves A and B, but not slave C, the master can send and address FBh.
Reset Addresses On reset, the SADDR and SADEN registers are initialized to 00h, i. e. the given and
broadcast addresses are XXXX XXXXb (all don’t-care bits). This ensures that the serial port will reply to any address, and so, that it is backwards compatible with the 80C51 microcontrollers that do not support automatic address recognition.

Keyboard Interface The AT89C51RB2/RC2 implements a keyboard interface allowing the connection of a

P
8 x n matrix keyboard. It is based on 8 inputs with programmable interrupt capability on both high or low level. These inputs are available as alternate function of P1 and allow to exit from idle and power-down modes.
The keyboard interfaces with the C51 core through 3 spe cial function reg isters: KBLS, the Keyboard Level Selection register (Table 5 3), KBE, the Keyboard interrupt Enable register (Table 52 ), and KBF, the Keyboard Flag register (Table 51).
Interrupt The keyboard inputs are considered as 8 independent interrupt sources sharing the
same interrupt vector. An interrupt enable bit (KBD in IEN1) allows global enable or dis­able of the ke yboa rd interru pt (see F igure 23). As det ailed i n Figu re 24 each keyboa rd input has the c apability to de tect a p rogrammab le level acc ordin g to KBLS . x bit value. Level detection is then reported in interrupt flags KBF. x that can be masked by software using KBE. x bits.
This structure allows keyboard arrangement from 1 by n to 8 by n matrix and allow usage of P1 inputs for other purpose.

Full-duplex, three-wire synchronous transfers
Master or Slave operation
Eight programmable Master clock rates
Serial clock with programma ble polarity and phase
Master Mode fault error flag with MCU interrupt capability
Writ e co llis ion flag prot ec ti o n

Signal Description Figure 25 shows a typical SPI bus con figuration usi ng one M aster con troller and m any

Therefore, it is an output signal from the Slave, and an input signal to the Master. A Byte (8-bit word) is transmitted most significant bit (MSB) first, least significant bit (LSB) last.
SPI Serial Clock (SCK) This signal is used to synchronize the data movement both in and out of the devices
through their MOSI and MISO lines. It is driven by the Master for eight clock cycles which allows to exchange one Byte on the serial lines.
Slave Select (SS
) Each Slave peripheral is selected by one Slave Select pin (SS). This signal m us t stay

drive the network. The Master may select each Slave device by software through port pins (Figure 26). To prevent bus conflicts on the MISO line, only one slave should be selected at a time by the Master for a transmission.
In a Master co nfiguration, t he S S
line can be us ed i n conj unc tion wi th the M ODF flag i n the SPI Status register (SPSTA) to prevent multiple masters from driving MOSI and SCK (see Error conditions).

pin could be used as a general-purpose if the following conditions are met:
pin puts the MISO line of a Slave SPI in a high-impedance state.
The device is configured as a Master and the SSDIS control bit in SPCON is set.
This kind of configuration can be found when only one Master is driving the network and there is no way that the SS the SPSTA will never be set

Baud Rate In Master mode, the baud rate can be selected from a baud rate generator which is con-
trolled by three bits in the SPCON register: SPR2, SPR1 and SPR0.The Master clock is selected from one of seven clock rates resulting from the division of the internal clock by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128.
Table 54 gives the different clock rates selected by SPR2:SPR1:SPR0.

Operating Modes The Serial Peripheral Interface can be configured in on e of the two mod es: Master
mode or Slave mode. The configuration and initialization of the SPI Module is made through one register:
The Serial Peripheral Control register (SPCON) Once the SPI is configured, the data exchange is made using:
•SPCON
The Serial Peripheral STAtus register (SPSTA)
The Serial Peripheral DATa register (SPDAT) During an SPI transmission, data is simultaneous ly transmitte d (shifted ou t serially) and
received (shifted in serially). A serial clock line (SCK) synchronizes shifting and sam­pling on the two serial data lines (MOSI and MISO). A Slave Select line (SS
) allows individual selection of a Slave SPI device; Slave devices that are not selected do not interfere with SPI bus activities.
When the Master device transmits data to the Slave device via the MOS I line, the Slave device responds by sending data to the Master device via the MISO line. This implies full-duplex transmission with both data out and data in synchronized with the same clock (Figure 27).

Master Mo de The SPI operates in Master mode when the Master bit, MSTR
is set. Only one Master SPI device can initiate transmissions. Software begins the trans­mission from a Master SPI Module by writing to the Serial Peripheral Data Register (SPDAT). If the shift reg ister is e mpty, th e Byte i s immedia tely tra nsferred to the sh ift register. The Byte begi ns shifting out on M OSI pin under the con trol of the serial clock, SCK. S imultan eou sly, a nother B yte shifts i n fro m the S lave on th e Mas ter’s MISO pi n. The transmission ends w hen the Se rial Periphera l transfer da ta flag, SPIF , in SPSTA becomes set. At the same time that SPIF becomes set, the received Byte from the Slave is tran sfe rred t o th e recei ve data re giste r in S PDA T. Soft war e c lear s SPI F by r eadin g the Serial Peripheral Status register (SPSTA) with the SPIF bit set, and then reading the SPDAT.
Slave Mode The SPI operates in Slave mode when the Master bit, MSTR

cleared. Bef ore a data tran smission occu rs, the Slave Select pin, SS device must be set to ’0’. SS
must remain low until the transmission is complete.
In a Slave SPI Mod ule, da ta enters the s hift registe r under th e control of the S CK from the Master SPI Module. After a Byte enters the shift register, it is immediately trans­ferred to the receive data register in SPDAT, and the SPIF bit is set. To prevent an overflow condition, Slav e software must then read the SPDAT before anothe r Byte enters the shift register
(3)
. A Slave SPI must complete the write to the SPDAT (shift reg­ister) at least one bus cycle before the Master SPI starts a transmission. If the write to the data register is late, the SPI transmits the dat a already in the shift reg ister from the previous transmission. The maximum SCK frequency allowed in slave mode is

1. The SPI Module should be configured as a Master before it is enabled (SPEN set). Also,
the Master SPI should be confi gured before the Slave SPI.
2. The SPI Module should be configured as a Slav e before it is enabled (SPEN set).
3. The maximum frequency of the SCK for an SPI configured as a Slave is the bus clock

As shown in Figure 28, the first SCK edge is the MSB capture strobe. Therefore, the Slave must begin driving its data before the first SCK edge, and a falling edge on the SS pin is used to start the transmission. The SS pin must be toggled high and then low between each Byte transmitted (Figure 30).
Figure 29 shows an SPI transmission in which CPHA is ’1’. In this case, the Master begins driving its MOSI pin on the first SCK edge. Therefore, the Slave uses the first SCK edge as a start transmission signal. The SS
pin can remain low between transmis­sions (Figure 30). This format may be preffered in systems having only one Master and only one Slave driving the MISO data line.

pin of the Master device is pulled low, there is no way that another Master attemp ts to drive the network. In this case, to prevent the MODF flag from being set, software can set the SSD IS bit in the SPCON register and therefore making the SS
pin as a general-purpose I/O pin.
Clearing the MODF bit is accomplished b y a read of SPSTA regi s ter with MODF bit s et, followed by a write to the SPCON register. SPEN Control bit may be restored to its orig­inal set state after the MODF bit has been cleared.
Write Collis ion (WCOL) A Write Collision (WCOL) flag in the SPSTA is set when a write to the SPDAT register is
done during a transmit sequence. WCOL does not cause an interruption, and the transfer continues uninterrupted. Clearing the WCOL bit is done through a software sequence of an access to SPSTA
and an access to SPDAT.
)
Overrun Condition A n ove rrun co ndition occu rs when the M aster device tries to send s evera l data Byte s
and the Slave devise has not cleared the SPIF bit issuing from the previous data Byte transmitted. In this case, the receiver buffer contains the Byte sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read of the SPDAT returns this Byte. All others Bytes are lost.
This condition is not detected by the SPI peripheral.
SS Error Flag (SSERR) A Synchronous Serial Slave Error occurs when SS
goes high before the end of a received data in sl ave m ode. SSERR d oes n ot cau se in i nterrupt ion, thi s bit is c leare d by writing 0 to SPEN bit (reset of the SPI state machine).
Interrupts Two SPI status flags can generate a CPU interrupt requests:
Table 55. SPI Interru p ts
Flag Request
SPIF (SP data transfer) SPI Transmitter Interrupt request MODF (Mode Fault) SPI Receiver/Error Interrupt Request (if SSDIS = ’0’)
Serial Peripheral data transfer flag, SPIF: This bit is set by hardware when a transfer has been completed. SPIF bit generates transmitter CPU interrupt requests.
Mode Fault flag, MODF: This bit becomes set to indicate that the level on the SS is inconsistent with the mode of the SPI. MODF with SSDIS reset, generates receiver/error CPU interrupt requests. When SSDIS is set, no MODF interrupt request is generated.

Hardware Watchdog Timer

The WDT is intended as a recovery method in situations where the CPU may be sub­jected to software upset. The WDT consists of a 14-bit counter and the Watchdog Timer Reset (WDTRST) SFR. The WDT is by default disabled from exiting reset. To enable the WDT, user m ust write 01 EH and 0 E1H in se quence t o the WD TRST, S FR locatio n 0A6H. When WDT is enab led, it will increment every machine cycle while the oscillator is running and there is no way to disable the WDT except through reset (either hardware reset or WDT overflow reset). When WDT overflows, it will drive an output RESET HIGH puls e at the RST-pin.

Using the WDT To enable the WDT, user must write 01EH and 0E1H in sequence to the WDTRST, SFR

location 0A6H. When WDT is enabled, the user needs to service it by writing to 01EH and 0E1H to WDTRST to avoid WDT overflow. The 14-bit counter overflows when it reaches 16383 (3FFFH) and this will reset the device. When WDT is enabled, it will increment every machine cycle while the oscillator is running. This means the user must reset the WDT at least every 16383 machine cycle. To reset the WDT the user must write 01EH and 0E1H to WDT RST . WDT R ST is a write only reg ister. Th e WDT count er cannot be read or written. When WDT overflows, it will generate an output RESET pulse at the RST-pin. The RESET pulse duration is 96 x T

WDT During Power-down and Idle

78
In Powe r- down mo de t he osc illato r s tops , wh ich mea ns the WDT al so s tops. Wh ile in Power-down mode the user does not need to service the WDT. There are two m et hods of exiting Power-down mode: by a hardware reset or via a level activated external inter­rupt which is enabled prior to entering Power-down mode. When Power-down is exited with hardware reset, servicing the WDT should occur as it normally should whenever the AT89C51 RB2/RC 2 is reset. Exiting P ower-d own with a n interru pt is signi ficant ly differ­ent. The interrupt is held low long enough for the oscillator to stabilize. When the interrupt is brought high, the interrupt is serviced. To prevent the WDT from resetting the device while the interrupt pin is held low, the WDT is not started until the interrupt is pulled high. It is suggested that the WDT be reset during the interrupt service routine.
To ensure that the WDT does not overflow within a few states of exiting of power-down, it is better to reset the WDT just before entering power-down.
In the Idle mode, the oscillator co ntinues to run. To preven t the WDT from resetting t he AT89C51RB2/RC2 while in Idle mode, the user should always set up a timer that will periodically exit Idle, service the WDT, and re-enter Idle mode.

ONCE™ Mode (O N Chip Emulation)

The ONCE mode facilitates testing and debugging of systems using AT89C51RB2/RC2 without removing the circuit f rom the board. The ONCE m ode is i nv oked b y driving cer­tain pins of the AT89C51RB2/RC2; the following sequence must be exercised:
Pull ALE low while the device is in reset (RST high) and PSEN
Hold ALE low as RST is deactivated. While the AT89C51RB2/RC2 is in ONCE mode, an emulator or test CPU can be used to
drive the circuit. Table 61 shows the status of the port pins during ONCE mode. Normal operation is restored when normal reset is applied.

Power Mana gement Two powe r reduction modes are implemented in the AT89C51RB2/RC2: the Idle mode

and the Power-down mode. These modes are detailed in the following sections. In addi­tion to these power reduction modes, the clocks of the core and peripherals can be dynamically divided by 2 using the X2 mode detailed in Section “X2 Feature”.

Reset In order to start-up (cold reset) or to restart (warm reset) properly the microcontroller, an

high level has to be applied on the RST pin. A bad level leads to a wrong initialization of the internal registers like SFRs, Program Counter… and to unpredictable behavior of the microcontroller. A proper device reset initializes the AT89C51RB2/RC2 and vectors the CPU to add ress 0000h. RST in put has a pull-down resistor allowing po wer-on reset by simply conn ec ting an ex ternal ca pacitor t o V can be applied either directly on the RST pin or indirectly by an internal reset source such as the watchdog timer. Resistor value and input characteristics are discussed in the Section “DC Characteristics” of the AT89C51RB2/RC2 datasheet.

Reset Recommendation to Prevent Flash Corruption

An example of bad initialization situation may occur in an instance where the bit ENBOOT in AUXR1 register is initialized from the hardwa re bit BLJB upon reset. Since this bit allows mapping of the bootloader in the code area, a reset failure can be critical.
If one w ants th e EN BOOT cleare d in o rde r to unm ap t he boo t from the code a rea (yet due to a bad reset) the bit ENBOOT in SFRs may be set. If the value of Program Counter i s ac cidentl y in t he ran ge of the boo t m emory addres ses t hen a Flash acc ess (write or erase) may corrupt the Flash on-chip memory.
It is recommended to use an external reset circuitry featuring power supply monitoring to prevent system malfunction during periods of insufficient pow er supply voltage (p ower supply failure, power supply switched off).

Idle Mode An instruction that sets PCON.0 indicates that it is the last instruction to be executed

before going into Idle mode. In Idle mode, the internal clock signal is gated off to the CPU, but not t o the i nterrup t, Ti mer, a nd Seri al Po rt func tion s. The CPU status is pr e­served in its entirety: th e Stack Pointer , Program Coun ter, Program Status W ord, Accumulator and all other registers maintain their data during idle. The port pins hold the logical states they had at the time Idle was activated. AL E and PSEN hold at logic high level.
There are tw o ways to t erminat e the I dle mode. Activa tion of a ny enabl ed interru pt will cause PCON.0 to be cleared by hardware, termi nating the Idle mode . The interrupt will be serviced , and fol lowin g RETI th e next ins tructio n to be ex ecut ed will be the one fol­lowing the instruction that put the device into idle.
The flag bits GF0 and GF1 can be used to give an indication if an interrupt occurred dur­ing normal operation or during idle. For example, an instruction that activates idle can also set one or both flag bits . When idle is terminated by an interrupt, the interrupt ser­vice routine can examine the flag bits.
The other way of terminating the Idle mode is with a hardware reset. Since the clock oscillator is still running, the hardware reset needs to be held active for only two machine cycles (24 oscillato r p e riods ) to co mplete the reset.

Power-down Mode To save maximum power, a Power-do wn mode can be invok ed by software (see Table

14, PCON register). In Power-down mode, the os cillator is stopped a nd the instructi on tha t invoked P ower-
down mode is the last instruction executed. The internal RAM and SFRs retain their value until the Power-down mode is terminated. V power. Eith er a ha rdwa re reset o r an exte rnal interru pt ca n ca use an e xit fro m Powe r­down. To pr operly terminat e Pow er-down, t he reset or ext ernal interr upt sho uld no t be executed before V long enough for the oscillator to res ta rt and stabi liz e.
Only external interrupts INT0 Power-down. For that, interrupt must be enabled and c onfigured as level or edge s ensi­tive interrupt input. When Keyboard Interrupt occurs after a power down mode, 1024 clocks are necessary to exit to power down mode and enter in operating mode.
Holding the pin low restarts the oscillator but bringing the pi n high com pl etes the exit as detailed in F igure 34. W hen both interrupt s are ena bled, the oscilla tor restart s as soon as one of the two inputs is held low and power down exit will be completed when the first input will be released. In this case, the higher priority interrupt service routine is exe­cuted. Once the interrupt is serviced, the next instruction to be executed after RETI will

Flash EEPROM Memory

The Flash memory increases EPROM and ROM functionality with in-circuit electrical erasure and programming. It contains 16K or 32K Bytes of program memory organi zed in 128 or 256 pages of 128 Bytes. This memory is both parallel and serial In-system Pro­grammable (ISP). ISP allows devices to alter their own program memory in the actual end product under software control. A default serial loader (bootloader) program allows ISP of the Flash.

Flash Programming and Erasure

The 16K or 32K Bytes Flash is programmed by Bytes or by pages of 128 Bytes. It is not necessary to erase a Byte or a pa ge befo re program ming. The pro grammin g of a Byt e or a page includes a self erase before programming.
There are three methods of programming the Flash memory:
First, the on-chip ISP bootloader may be invoked which will use low level routines to program the pages. The interface used for serial downloading of Flash is the UART.
Second, the Flash may be programmed or erased in the end-user application by calling low-level routines through a common entry point in the Boot ROM.
Third, the Flash may be programmed using the parallel method by using a conventional EPROM programmer. The parallel programming method used by these devices is similar to that used by EPROM 87C51 but it is not identical and the commercially available programmers need to have support for the AT89C51RB2/RC2. The bootloader and the Application Programming Interface (API) routines are located in the BOOT ROM.

Flash Registers and Memory Map

The AT89C51RB2/RC2 Flash memory uses several registers for its management:
Hardware regist ers can only be accessed through the parallel programming modes which are handled by the parallel programmer.
Software registers are in a special page of the Flash memory which can be accessed through the API or with the parallel programming modes. This page, called "Extra Flash Memory", is not in the internal Flash program memory addressing space.

When the EA
pin is high, the processor fetches instructions from internal program Flash. Bus expansion for accessing program memory from 16K or 32K upward automatic since external instruction fetches occur automatically when the program counter exceeds 3FFFh (16K) or 7FFFh (32K ). If the EA
pin is tied low, all program memory f etches are
from external memory.

Bootload er Architecture

Introduction The bootloader manages a communication according to a specific defined protocol to
provide the whole access and service on F lash m emo ry. Furtherm ore, all access es and routines can be called from the user application.

On the above diagram, the on-chip bootloader processes are:
ISP Communication Management The purpose of this process is to manag e the com muni cation and its protoco l between
the on-chip bootloader and a external dev ice. The on-chip R OM imp lement a serial pro­tocol (see section Bootloader Protocol). This process translate serial communication frame (UART) into Flash memory acess (read, write, erase ...).
User Call Management Several Application Program Interface (API) calls are available for use by an application
program to permit selective erasing and programming of Flash pages. All calls are made through a common in terface (A P I ca lls), included in the ROM bootloader. The program­ming functions are selected by setting up the microcontroller’s registers before making a call to a common entry point (0 xFFF0). Re sults are return ed in the re gisters. The p ur­pose on this process is to translate the registers values into internal Flash Memory Management.
Flash Mem ory Managem ent This process manages low level access to Flash memory (performs read and write
access).

Introduction
The bootloader can be activated by two means: Hardware conditions or regular boot process.
The Hardwa re co nditi ons ( EA = 1 , PSE N = 0) du ring t he Re set# fa llin g edge force th e on-chip bootloader execution. This allows an application to be built that will normally execute the end user’s code but can be manually forced into default ISP operation.
As PSEN is an output port in no rmal operating mode (running user applica tion or boor­loader code) after reset, it is recommended to release PSEN after falling edge of reset signal. The hardware conditions are sampled at reset signa l falling edge, thus they can be released at any time when reset input is low.
To ensure correct microcontroller startup, the PSEN pin should not be tied to ground during power-on (See Figure 38).

The Hardware Conditions force the bootloader execution whatever BLJB, BSB and SBV va lues.
The Boot Loader Jum p B it for c e s the app lic ation exec ut io n. BLJB = 0 => Boot loader execution. BLJB = 1 => Application execution.
The BLJB is a fuse bit in the Hardware Byte. That can be modified by hardware (programmer) or by software (API).
Note: The BLJB t est is perform by hardware to prevent any program execution.
The Software Boot Vector contains the high address of custumer bootloader stored in the application. SBV = FCh (default value) if no custumer bootloader in user Flash.
Note: The costumer bootloader is called by JMP [SBV]00h instruction.

ISP Protocol Description

Physical Layer The UART used to transmit information has the following configuration:
Charac ter: 8-bit data
Parity: none
Stop: 1 bit
Flow control: none
Ba ud rate: autobaud is performed by the bootloade r to compute the baud rate
choosen by the host.
Frame Description The Serial Protocol is based on the Intel Hex-type records.
Intel Hex records consist of ASCII characters used to represent hexadecimal values and are summarized below.
Table 70. Intel Hex Type Frame
Record Mark ‘:’ Reclen Load Offset Record Type Data or Info Checksum
1 byte 1 byte 2 bytes 1 bytes n byte 1 byte
Record Mark:
Record Mark is the start of frame. This field must contain ’:’.
Rec len:
Reclen specifies the number of Bytes of information or data which follows
the Record Type field of the record.
Load Offset:
Load Offset specifies the 16-bit starting load offset of the data Bytes,
therefore this field is used only for
Data Program Record (see Section “ISP Commands Summary”).
Record Ty pe:
Record Type specifies the command type. This field is used to interpret the
remaining information within the frame. The encoding for all the current record types is described in Section “ISP Commands Summary”.
Data/Info:
Data/Info is a variable length field. It consists of zero or more Bytes encoded
as pairs of hexadecimal digits. The meaning of data depends on the Record Type.
Checksum:
The two’s complement of the 8-bit Bytes that result from converting each pair
of ASCII hexadecimal digits to one Byte of binary, and including the Reclen field to and including the last Byte of the Data/Info field. Therefore, the sum of all the ASCII pairs in a record after converting to binary, from the Reclen field to and including the Checksum field, is zero.

Functional Description

Software Security Bits (SSB) The SSB protects any Flash access from ISP command.
The command "Program Software Security bit" can only write a higher priority level. There are three levels of security:
level 0: NO_SECURITY (FFh) This is the default level.
From level 0, one can write level 1 or level 2.
level 1: WRITE_SECURITY (FEh ) For this level it is impossible to write in the Flash memory, BSB and SBV.
The Bootloader returns ’P’ on write access. From level 1, one can write only level 2.
level 2: RD_WR_SECURITY (FCh
The leve l 2 forbids all read and write accesses to/from the Flash/EEPROM memory. The Bootloader returns ’L’ on read or write access. Only a full chip erase in parallel mode (using a programmer) or ISP command can reset the software security bits. From level 2, one cannot read and write anything.

Full Chip Erase The ISP command "Full Chip Erase " erases al l User Flash m emory (fills with F Fh) and
sets some Bytes used by the bootloader at their default values:
BSB = FFh
SBV = FCh
SSB = FFh and finally erase the Software Security Bits The Full Chip Erase does not affect the bootloader.
Checksum Error When a checksum error is detected send ‘X’ followed with CR&LF.

Flow Description

Overview An initialization step must be performed after each Reset. After microcontroller reset,
the bootloader waits for an autobaud sequence ( see section ‘autobaud performance’). When the comm unication is initialized the protocol depends on the record type
requested by the host. FLIP, a so ftware u tility to im plemen t ISP p rogram ming with a PC , is avai lable from the
Atmel the web site.
Communication Initialization T he hos t initializes the comm unicat ion by sending a ’U’ character to help the bootloader
to compute the baudrate (autobaud).

Autobau d Pe rf orm ances The ISP feature allows a wide range of baud rates in the user application. It is also
adaptable to a wide range of oscillator frequencies. This is accomplished by measuring the bit-time of a sing le bit in a recei ved cha racter. This information is then used to pro­gram the baud rate in terms of timer counts based on the oscillator frequenc y. The ISP feature requires that an initial character (an uppercase U) be sent to the AT89C51RB2/RC2 to establish the baud rate. Table 72 shows the autobaud capability.
