Description

The AT90S8515 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR ® enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the AT90S8515 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

The AVR core combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working registers. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster than conventional CISC microcontrollers.

Block Diagram

Figure 1. The AT90S8515 Block Diagram

The AT90S8515 provides the following features: 8K bytes of In-System Programmable Flash, 512 bytes EEPROM, 512 bytes SRAM, 32 general purpose I/O lines, 32 general purpose working registers, flexible timer/counters with compare modes, internal and external interrupts, a programmable serial UART, programmable Watchdog Timer with internal oscillator, an SPI serial port and two software selectable power saving modes. The Idle Mode stops the CPU while allowing the SRAM, timer/counters, SPI port and interrupt system to continue functioning. The power down mode saves the register contents but freezes the oscillator, disabling all other chip functions until the next interrupt or hardware reset.

The device is manufactured using Atmel’s high density non-volatile memory technology. The on-chip in-system programmable Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system through an SPI serial interface or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. By combining an enhanced RISC 8-bit CPU with In-System Programmable Flash on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT90S8515 is a powerful microcontroller that provides a highly flexible and cost effective solution to many embedded control applications.

The AT90S8515 AVR is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including: C compilers, macro assemblers, program debugger/simulators, incircuit emulators, and evaluation kits.

Port A (PA7..PA0)

Port A is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port. Port pins can provide internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port A output buffers can sink 20mA and can drive LED displays directly. When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs and are externally pulled low, they will source current if the internal pull-up resistors are activated.

Port A serves as Multiplexed Address/Data input/output when using external SRAM.

Port B (PB7..PB0)

Port B is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O pins with internal pull-up resistors. The Port B output buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated.

Port B also serves the functions of various special features of the AT90S8515 as listed on page 46.

Port C (PC7..PC0)

Port C is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port C output buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated.

Port C also serves as Address output when using external SRAM.

Port D (PD7..PD0)

Port D is an 8-bit bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The Port D output buffers can sink 20 mA. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors are activated.

Port D also serves the functions of various special features of the AT90S8515 as listed on page 52.

XTAL1 and XTAL2 are input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier which can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator, as shown in Figure 2. Either a quartz crystal or a ceramic resonator may be used. To drive the device from an external clock source, XTAL2 should be left unconnected while XTAL1 is driven as shown in Figure 3.

AT90S8515 Architectural Overview

The fast-access register file concept contains 32 x 8-bit general purpose working registers with a single clock cycle access time. This means that during one single clock cycle, one ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) operation is executed. Two operands are output from the register file, the operation is executed, and the result is stored back in the register file - in one clock cycle.

Six of the 32 registers can be used as three 16-bits indirect address register pointers for Data Space addressing - enabling efficient address calculations. One of the three address pointers is also used as the address pointer for the constant table look up function. These added function registers are the 16-bits X-register, Y-register and Z-register.

Figure 4. The AT90S8515 AVR Enhanced RISC Architecture

The ALU supports arithmetic and logic functions between registers or between a constant and a register. Single register operations are also executed in the ALU. Figure 4 shows the AT90S8515 AVR Enhanced RISC microcontroller architecture.

In addition to the register operation, the conventional memory addressing modes can be used on the register file as well. This is enabled by the fact that the register file is assigned the 32 lowermost Data Space addresses ($00 - $1F), allowing them to be accessed as though they were ordinary memory locations.

The I/O memory space contains 64 addresses for CPU peripheral functions as Control Registers, Timer/Counters, A/D-converters, and other I/O functions. The I/O Memory can be accessed directly, or as the Data Space locations following those of the register file, $20 - $5F.

The AVR uses a Harvard architecture concept - with separate memories and buses for program and data. The program memory is executed with a two stage pipeline. While one instruction is being executed, the next instruction is pre-fetched from the program memory. This concept enables instructions to be executed in every clock cycle. The program memory is in-system programmable Flash memory.

With the relative jump and call instructions, the whole 4K address space is directly accessed. Most AVR instructions have a single 16-bit word format. Every program memory address contains a 16or 32-bit instruction.

During interrupts and subroutine calls, the return address program counter (PC) is stored on the stack. The stack is effectively allocated in the general data SRAM, and consequently the stack size is only limited by the total SRAM size and the usage of the SRAM. All user programs must initial-

AT90S8515

ize the SP in the reset routine (before subroutines or inter- Figure 5. Memory Maps rupts are executed). The 16-bit stack pointer SP is read/write accessible in the I/O space.

The 512 bytes data SRAM can be easily accessed through the five different addressing modes supported in the AVR architecture.

The memory spaces in the AVR architecture are all linear and regular memory maps.

A flexible interrupt module has its control registers in the I/O space with an additional global interrupt enable bit in the status register. All the different interrupts have a separate interrupt vector in the interrupt vector table at the beginning of the program memory. The different interrupts have priority in accordance with their interrupt vector position. The lower the interrupt vector address the higher the priority.

All the register operating instructions in the instruction set have direct and single cycle access to all registers. The only exception is the five constant arithmetic and logic instructions SBCI, SUBI, CPI, ANDI and ORI between a constant and a register and the LDI instruction for load immediate constant data. These instructions apply to the second half of the registers in the register file - R16..R31. The general SBC, SUB, CP, AND and OR and all other

operations between two registers or on a single register apply to the entire register file.

As shown in Figure 6, each register is also assigned a data memory address, mapping them directly into the first 32 locations of the user Data Space. Although not being physically implemented as SRAM locations, this memory organization provides great flexibility in access of the registers, as the X,Y and Z registers can be set to index any register in the file.

The X-Register, Y-Register And Z-Register

The registers R26..R31 have some added functions to their general purpose usage. These registers are address point-

In the different addressing modes these address registers have functions as fixed displacement, automatic increment and decrement (see the descriptions for the different instructions).

The ALU - Arithmetic Logic Unit

The high-performance AVR ALU operates in direct connection with all the 32 general purpose working registers. Within a single clock cycle, ALU operations between registers in the register file are executed. The ALU operations are divided into three main categories - arithmetic, logical and bit-functions.

The In-System Programmable Flash Program Memory

The AT90S8515 contains 8K bytes on-chip In-System Programmable Flash memory for program storage. Since all

instructions are 16-or 32-bit words, the Flash is organized as 4K x 16. The Flash memory has an endurance of at least 1000 write/erase cycles. The AT90S8515 Program Counter (PC) is 12 bits wide, thus addressing the 4096 program memory addresses.

See page 62 for a detailed description on Flash data downloading.

Constant tables must be allocated within the address 0-4K (see the LPM - Load Program Memory instruction description).

See page 8 for the different program memory addressing modes.

The lower 608 Data Memory locations address the Register file, the I/O Memory and the internal data SRAM. The first 96 locations address the Register File + I/O Memory, and the next 512 locations address the internal data SRAM. An optional external data SRAM can be placed in the same SRAM memory space. This SRAM will occupy the location following the internal SRAM and up to as much as 64K - 1, depending on SRAM size.

When the addresses accessing the data memory space exceeds the internal data SRAM locations, the external data SRAM is accessed using the same instructions as for the internal data SRAM access. When the internal data space is accessed, the read and write strobe pins (RD and WR) are inactive during the whole access cycle. External SRAM operation is enabled by setting the SRE bit in the MCUCR register. See page 21 for details.

Accessing external SRAM takes one additional clock cycle per byte compared to access of the internal SRAM. This means that the commands LD, ST, LDS, STS, PUSH and POP take one additional clock cycle. If the stack is placed in external SRAM, interrupts, subroutine calls and returns take two clock cycles extra because the two-byte program counter is pushed and popped. When external SRAM interface is used with wait state, two additional clock cycles is used per byte. This has the following effect: Data transfer instructions take two extra clock cycles, whereas interrupt, subroutine calls and returns will need four clock cycles more than specified in the instruction set manual.

The five different addressing modes for the data memory cover: Direct, Indirect with Displacement, Indirect, Indirect with Pre-Decrement and Indirect with Post-Increment. In the register file, registers R26 to R31 feature the indirect addressing pointer registers.

7

The direct addressing reaches the entire data space.

The Indirect with Displacement mode features a 63 address locations reach from the base address given by the Y or Z-register.

When using register indirect addressing modes with automatic pre-decrement and post-increment, the address registers X, Y and Z are decremented and incremented.

The 32 general purpose working registers, 64 I/O registers, the 512 bytes of internal data SRAM, and the 64K bytes of optional external data SRAM in the AT90S8515 are all accessible through all these addressing modes.

See the next section for a detailed description of the different addressing modes.

The Program and Data Addressing Modes

The AT90S8515 AVR Enhanced RISC microcontroller supports powerful and efficient addressing modes for access to the program memory (Flash) and data memory (SRAM, Register File and I/O Memory). This section describes the different addressing modes supported by the AVR architecture. In the figures, OP means the operation code part of the instruction word. To simplify, not all figures show the exact location of the addressing bits.

The EEPROM Data Memory

The AT90S8515 contains 512 bytes of data EEPROM memory. It is organized as a separate data space, in which single bytes can be read and written. The EEPROM has an endurance of at least 100,000 write/erase cycles. The access between the EEPROM and the CPU is described on page 32 specifying the EEPROM address registers, the EEPROM data register, and the EEPROM control register.

For the SPI data downloading, see page 62 for a detailed description.

Memory Access Times and Instruction Execution Timing

This section describes the general access timing concepts for instruction execution and internal memory access.

The AVR CPU is driven by the System Clock Ø, directly generated from the external clock crystal for the chip. No internal clock division is used.

Figure 20 shows the parallel instruction fetches and instruction executions enabled by the Harvard architecture and the fast-access register file concept. This is the basic pipelining concept to obtain up to 1 MIPS per MHz with the corresponding unique results for functions per cost, functions per clocks, and functions per power-unit.

Note: reserved and unused locations are not shown in the table

All the different AT90S8515 I/Os and peripherals are placed in the I/O space. The different I/O locations are accessed by the IN and OUT instructions transferring data between the 32 general purpose working registers and the I/O space. I/O registers within the address range $00 - $1F are directly bit-accessible using the SBI and CBI instructions. In these registers, the value of single bits can be checked by using the SBIS and SBIC instructions. Refer to the instruction set chapter for more details.

The Status Register - SREG

When using the I/O specific commands, IN, OUT,SBIS and SBIC, the I/O addresses $00 - $3F must be used. When addressing I/O registers as SRAM, $20 must be added to this address. All I/O register addresses throughout this document are shown with the SRAM address in parentheses.

The different I/O and peripherals control registers are explained in the following chapters.

Bit 7 - I: Global Interrupt Enable

The global interrupt enable bit must be set (one) for the interrupts to be enabled. The individual interrupt enable control is then performed in the interrupt mask registers - GIMSK and TIMSK. If the global interrupt enable register is cleared (zero), none of the interrupts are enabled independent of the GIMSK and TIMSK values. The I-bit is cleared by hardware after an interrupt has occurred, and is set by the RETI instruction to enable subsequent interrupts.

Bit 6 - T: Bit Copy Storage

The bit copy instructions BLD (Bit LoaD) and BST (Bit STore) use the T bit as source and destination for the operated bit. A bit from a register in the register file can be copied into T by the BST instruction, and a bit in T can be copied into a bit in a register in the register file by the BLD instruction.

The S-bit is always an exclusive or between the negative flag N and the two’s complement overflow flag V. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.

Bit 3 - V: Two’s Complement Overflow Flag

The two’s complement overflow flag V supports two’s complement arithmetics. See the Instruction Set Description for detailed information.

The Stack Pointer - SP

The general AVR 16-bit Stack Pointer is effectively built up of two 8-bit registers in the I/O space locations $3E ($5E) and $3D ($5D). As the AT90S8515 supports up to 64 kB external SRAM, all 16-bits are used.

The Stack Pointer points to the data SRAM stack area where the Subroutine and Interrupt Stacks are located. This Stack space in the data SRAM must be defined by the program before any subroutine calls are executed or interrupts are enabled. The Stack Pointer is decremented by one when data is pushed onto the Stack with the PUSH instruction, and it is decremented by two when data is pushed onto the Stack with subroutine CALL and interrupt. The Stack Pointer is incremented by one when data is popped from the Stack with the POP instruction, and it is incremented by two when data is popped from the Stack with return from subroutine RET or return from interrupt IRET.

Reset and Interrupt Handling

The AT90S8515 provides 12 different interrupt sources. These interrupts and the separate reset vector, each have a separate program vector in the program memory space. All interrupts are assigned individual enable bits which must be set (one) together with the I-bit in the status register in order to enable the interrupt.

The lowest addresses in the program memory space are automatically defined as the Reset and Interrupt vectors. The complete list of vectors is shown in Table 2. The list also determines the priority levels of the different interrupts. The lower the address the higher is the priority level. RESET has the highest priority, and next is INT0 - the External Interrupt Request 0 etc.

Reset Sources

The AT90S8515 has three sources of reset:

Power-On Reset. The MCU is reset when a supply voltage is applied to the VCC and GND pins.

External Reset. The MCU is reset when a low level is present on the RESET pin for more than two XTAL cycles.

Watchdog Reset. The MCU is reset when the Watchdog timer period expires and the Watchdog is enabled.

During reset, all I/O registers are then set to their initial values, and the program starts execution from address $000.

The instruction placed in address $000 must be an RJMP - relative jump - instruction to the reset handling routine. If the program never enables an interrupt source, the interrupt vectors are not used, and regular program code can be placed at these locations. The circuit diagram in Figure 25 shows the reset logic. Table 3 defines the timing and electrical parameters of the reset circuitry.

Power-on Reset

A Power-On Reset (POR) circuit ensures that the device is not started until VCC has reached a safe level. As shown in Figure 25, an internal timer clocked from the Watchdog timer oscillator prevents the MCU from starting until after a certain period after VCC has reached the Power-On Threshold voltage - VPOT, regardless of the VCC rise time (see Figure 26 and Figure 27). The total reset period is the Power-

On Reset period - tPOR + the Delay Time-out period - tTOUT. The FSTRT fuse bit in the Flash can be programmed to

give a shorter start-up time if a ceramic resonator or any other fast-start oscillator is used to clock the MCU.

If the build-in start-up delay is sufficient, RESET can be connected to VCC directly or via an external pull-up resistor. By holding the pin low for a period after VCC has been applied, the Power-On Reset period can be extended. Refer to Figure 28 for a timing example on this.

External Reset

An external reset is generated by a low level on the RESET pin. The RESET pin must be held low for at least two crystal clock cycles. When the applied signal reaches the Reset Threshold Voltage - VRST on its positive edge, the delay

timer starts the MCU after the Time-out period tTOUT has expired.

pulse, the delay timer starts counting the Time-out period

tTOUT. Refer to page 30 for details on operation of the Watchdog.

Interrupt Handling

The AT90S8515 has two 8-bit Interrupt Mask control registers; GIMSK - General Interrupt Mask register and TIMSK - Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask register.

When an interrupt occurs, the Global Interrupt Enable I-bit is cleared (zero) and all interrupts are disabled. The user software must set (one) the I-bit to enable interrupts.

The General Interrupt Mask Register - GIMSK

When the Program Counter is vectored to the actual interrupt vector in order to execute the interrupt handling routine, hardware clears the corresponding flag that generated the interrupt. Some of the interrupt flags can also be cleared by writing a logic one to the flag bit position(s) to be cleared.

Bit 7 - INT1: External Interrupt Request 1 Enable

When the INT1 bit is set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register (SREG) is set (one), the external pin interrupt is activated. The Interrupt Sense Control1 bits 1/0 (ISC11 and ISC10) in the MCU general Control Register (MCUCR) defines whether the external interrupt is activated on rising

or falling edge of the INT1 pin or level sensed. Activity on the pin will cause an interrupt request even if INT1 is configured as an output. The corresponding interrupt of External Interrupt Request 1 is executed from program memory address $002. See also “External Interrupts”.

Bit 0 - Res: Reserved bit

This bit is a reserved bit in the AT90S8515 and always reads zero.

External Interrupts

The external interrupts are triggered by the INT1 and INT0 pins. Observe that, if enabled, the interrupts will trigger even if the INT0/INT1 pins are configured as outputs. This feature provides a way of generating a software interrupt. The external interrupts can be triggered by a falling or rising edge or a low level. This is set up as indicated in the specification for the MCU Control Register - MCUCR. When the external interrupt is enabled and is configured as level triggered, the interrupt will trigger as long as the pin is held low.

The external interrupts are set up as described in the specification for the MCU Control Register - MCUCR.

Interrupt Response Time

The interrupt execution response for all the enabled AVR interrupts is 4 clock cycles minimum. 4 clock cycles after the interrupt flag has been set, the program vector address for the actual interrupt handling routine is executed. During this 4 clock cycle period, the Program Counter (2 bytes) is pushed onto the Stack, and the Stack Pointer is decremented by 2. The vector is a relative jump to the interrupt routine, and this jump takes 2 clock cycles. If an interrupt occurs during execution of a multi-cycle instruction, this instruction is completed before the interrupt is served.

A return from an interrupt handling routine (same as for a subroutine call routine) takes 4 clock cycles. During these 4 clock cycles, the Program Counter (2 bytes) is popped back from the Stack, and the Stack Pointer is incremented by 2. When the AVR exits from an interrupt, it will always return to the main program and execute one more instruction before any pending interrupt is served.

Note that the Status Register - SREG - is not handled by the AVR hardware, neither for interrupts nor for subrou-

20

AT90S8515

 

 

 

AT90S8515

tines. For the interrupt handling routines requiring a storage of the SREG, this must be performed by user software.

For Interrupts triggered by events that can remain static (E.g. the Output Compare Register1 A matching the value

MCU Control Register - MCUCR

of Timer/Counter1) the interrupt flag is set when the event occurs. If the interrupt flag is cleared and the interrupt condition persists, the flag will not be set until the event occurs the next time.

The MCU Control Register contains control bits for general MCU functions.

Bit 7 - SRE: External SRAM Enable

When the SRE bit is set (one), the external data SRAM is enabled, and the pin functions AD0-7 (Port A), A8-15 (Port C), WR and RD (Port D) are activated as the alternate pin functions. Then the SRE bit overrides any pin direction settings in the respective data direction registers. See “The SRAM Data Memory - Internal and External” for description of the External SRAM pin functions. When the SRE bit is cleared (zero), the external data SRAM is disabled, and the normal pin and data direction settings are used.

Bit 6 - SRW: External SRAM Wait State

When the SRW bit is set (one), a one cycle wait state is inserted in the external data SRAM access cycle. When the SRW bit is cleared (zero), the external data SRAM access is executed with the normal three-cycle scheme. See Figure 23: External Data SRAM Memory Cycles without Wait State and Figure 24: External Data SRAM Memory Cycles with Wait State.

Bit 5 - SE: Sleep Enable

The SE bit must be set (one) to make the MCU enter the sleep mode when the SLEEP instruction is executed. To avoid the MCU entering the sleep mode unless it is the programmers purpose, it is recommended to set the Sleep Enable SE bit just before the execution of the SLEEP instruction.

Bit 4 - SM: Sleep Mode

This bit selects between the two available sleep modes. When SM is cleared (zero), Idle Mode is selected as Sleep Mode. When SM is set (one), Power Down mode is selected as sleep mode. For details, refer to the paragraph “Sleep Modes” below.

Bit 3, 2 - ISC11, ISC10: Interrupt Sense Control 1 bit 1 and bit 0

The External Interrupt 1 is activated by the external pin INT1 if the SREG I-flag and the corresponding interrupt mask in the GIMSK is set. The level and edges on the

external INT1 pin that activate the interrupt are defined in the following table:

Sleep Modes

To enter the sleep modes, the SE bit in MCUCR must be set (one) and a SLEEP instruction must be executed. If an enabled interrupt occurs while the MCU is in a sleep mode, the MCU awakes, executes the interrupt routine, and resumes execution from the instruction following SLEEP. The contents of the register file, SRAM and I/O memory are unaltered. If a reset occurs during sleep mode, the MCU wakes up and executes from the Reset vector.

Idle Mode

When the SM bit is cleared (zero), the SLEEP instruction forces the MCU into the Idle Mode stopping the CPU but allowing Timer/Counters, Watchdog and the interrupt system to continue operating. This enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like Timer Overflow interrupt and watchdog reset. If wakeup from the Analog Comparator interrupt is not required, the analog comparator can be powered down by setting the ACD-bit in the Analog Comparator Control and

Status register - ACSR. This will reduce power consumption in Idle Mode.

Power Down Mode

When the SM bit is set (one), the SLEEP instruction forces the MCU into the Power Down Mode. In this mode, the external oscillator is stopped. The user can select whether the watchdog shall be enabled during power-down mode. If the watchdog is enabled, it will wake up the MCU when the Watchdog Time-out period expires. If the watchdog is disabled, only an external reset or an external level triggered interrupt can wake up the MCU.

Timer / Counters

T h e A T 90 S 8 5 15 pr ov i d e s tw o g e ne r a l pu r p o s e Timer/Counters - one 8-bit T/C and one 16-bit T/C. The Timer/Counters have individual prescaling selection from the same 10-bit prescaling timer. Both Timer/Counters can either be used as a timer with an internal clock timebase or as a counter with an external pin connection which triggers the counting.

The four different prescaled selections are: CK/8, CK/64, CK/256 and CK/1024 where CK is the oscillator clock. For the two Timer/Counters, added selections as CK, external source and stop, can be selected as clock sources.

The 8-Bit Timer/Counter0

Figure 32 shows the block diagram for Timer/Counter0.

The 8-bit Timer/Counter0 can select clock source from CK, prescaled CK, or an external pin. In addition it can be stopped as described in the specification for the Timer/Counter0 Control Register - TCCR0. The overflow status flag is found in the Timer/Counter Insterrupt Flag Register - TIFR. Control signals are found in the Timer/Counter0 Control Register - TCCR0. The interrupt enable/disable settings for Timer/Counter0 are found in the Timer/Counter Interrupt Mask Register - TIMSK.

When Timer/Counter0 is externally clocked, the external signal is synchronized with the oscillator frequency of the CPU. To assure proper sampling of the external clock, the minimum time between two external clock transitions must be at least one internal CPU clock period. The external clock signal is sampled on the rising edge of the internal CPU clock.

The 8-bit Timer/Counter0 features both a high resolution and a high accuracy usage with the lower prescaling opportunities. Similarly, the high prescaling opportunities make the Timer/Counter0 useful for lower speed functions or exact timing functions with infrequent actions.
