low-level signals). The ADCs with on-chip digital filtering are
intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low-frequency
signals, such as those in weigh scale, strain-gauge, pressure transducer, or temperature measurement applications. The ADC output
data rates are programmable and the ADC output resolution will
vary with the programmed gain and output rate.
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,
in turn, 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-instructionset-compatible. The microcontroller core machine cycle consists
of 12 core clock periods of the selected core operating frequency.
8 Kbytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory are provided
on-chip. 640 bytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE data memory and
256 bytes RAM are also integrated on-chip.
The ADuC824 also incorporates additional analog functionality
with a 12-bit DAC, current sources, power supply monitor,
and a bandgap reference. On-chip digital peripherals include a
watchdog timer, time interval counter, three timers/counters,
and three serial I/O ports (SPI, UART, and I
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. A functional block diagram of the ADuC824 is
shown above with a more detailed block diagram shown in
Figure 12.
The part operates from a single 3 V or 5 V supply. When operating
from 3 V supplies, the power dissipation for the part is below
10 mW. The ADuC824 is housed in a 52-lead MQFP package.

NOTES
1
Temperature Range: –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 µV. If user power supply or temperature conditions are
significantly different than these, an Internal Full-Scale Calibration will restore this error to 10 µV. 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
reduced code range of 48 to 3995, 0 to VDD.
8
Gain Error is a measure of the span error of the DAC.

In general terms, the bipolar input voltage range to the primary ADC is given by Range

13
Pins configured in I2C-compatible mode only.
14
Flash/EE Memory Reliability Characteristics apply to both the Flash/EE program memory and Flash/EE data memory.
15
Endurance is qualified to 100 Kcycles as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117 and measured at –40 °C, +25°C and +85°C; typical endurance at 25°C is 700 K cycles.
16
Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 55°C as per JEDEC Std. 22, Method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6e V
will derate with junction temperature as shown in Figure 27 in the Flash/EE Memory description section of this data sheet.
17
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.
18
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.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the ADuC824 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on
devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

40EAI/OExternal Access Enable, Logic Input. When held high, this input enables the device to fetch
code from internal program memory locations 0000H to 1FFFH. When held low, this input
enables the device to fetch all instructions from external program memory. 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 emula-
tion 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.
41PSENOProgram 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.
42ALEOAddress 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.

inputs. An external pull-up resistor will be required on P0 outputsto force a valid logic high level

program or data memory. In this application it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s.

The data memory address space consists of internal and external memory space. The internal memory space is divided into
four physically separate and distinct blocks, namely the lower
128 bytes of RAM, the upper 128 bytes of RAM, the 128 bytes
of special function register (SFR) area, and a 640-byte Flash/EE
Data memory. While the upper 128 bytes of RAM, and the SFR
area share the same address locations, they are accessed through
different address modes.
The lower 128 bytes of data memory can be accessed through
direct or indirect addressing, the upper 128 bytes of RAM can
be accessed through indirect addressing, and the SFR area is
accessed through direct addressing.
Also, as shown in Figure 13, the additional 640 Bytes of
Flash/EE Data Memory are available to the user and can be
accessed indirectly via a group of control 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.
The external data memory area can be expanded up to 16 Mbytes.
This is an enhancement of the 64 KByte external data memory
space available on standard 8051-compatible cores.
The external data memory is discussed in more detail in the
ADuC824 Hardware Design Considerations section.

of eight registers addressed as R0 through R7. The next 16 bytes
(128 bits), locations 20 Hex through 2 FHex 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 256 bytes.

The SFR space is mapped to 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

OVERVIEW OF MCU-RELATED SFRs
Accumulator SFR
ACC is the Accumulator register and is used for math operations
including addition, subtraction, integer multiplication and division,
and Boolean bit manipulations. The mnemonics for accumulatorspecific instructions refer to the Accumulator as A.
B SFR
The B register is used with the ACC for multiplication and division operations. For other instructions it can be treated as a
general-purpose scratchpad register.
Stack Pointer SFR
The SP register is the stack pointer and is used to hold an internal
RAM address that is called the ‘top of the stack.’ The SP register is
incremented before data is stored during PUSH and CALL executions. While the stack may reside anywhere in on-chip RAM, the
SP register is initialized to 07H after a reset. This causes the
stack to begin at location 08H.
Data Pointer
The Data Pointer is made up of three 8-bit registers, named
DPP (page byte), DPH (high byte), and DPL (low byte).
These are used to provide memory addresses for internal and
external code access and external data access. It may be manipulated as a 16-bit register (DPTR = DPH, DPL), although
INC DPTR instructions will automatically carry over to DPP, or
as three independent 8-bit registers (DPP, DPH, DPL).
Program Status Word SFR
The PSW register is the Program Status Word which contains
several bits reflecting the current status of the CPU as detailed in
Table I.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS
All registers, except the program counter and the four generalpurpose 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.
Figure 17 shows a full SFR memory map and SFR contents on
RESET NOT USED indicates unoccupied SFR locations. Unoccupied locations in the SFR address space are not implemented;
i.e., no register exists at this location. If an unoccupied location
is read, an unspecified value is returned. SFR locations reserved
for future use are shaded (RESERVED) and should not be
accessed by user software.

register.
111System Full-Scale Calibration
User should connect system full-scale input to the ADC input pins as
selected by CH1/CH0 and ACH1/ACH0 bits in the ADC0/1CON
register.
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 AD0EN = 1, or if AD0EN 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.

ADC
version time (t
) are shown in Table VII, the power-on default
ADC
value for the SF register is 45hex, resulting in a default ADC
update rate of just under 20 Hz. Both ADC inputs are chopped
to minimize offset errors, which means that the settling time for
a single conversion or the time to a first conversion result in
continuous conversion mode is 2 × t

all calibration cycles will be carried out automatically with a

ADuC824
PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ADC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Overview
The ADuC824 incorporates two independent sigma-delta 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-gauge, 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 8 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, 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 sigma-delta conversion technique to realize
up to 24 bits of no missing codes performance. The sigma-delta
modulator converts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse
train whose duty cycle contains the digital information. A Sinc3
programmable low-pass 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. A block diagram of the Primary
ADC is shown in Figure 18.

PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ADC NOISE PERFORMANCE
Tables IX, X, and XI below show the output rms noise in µV
and output peak-to-peak resolution in bits (rounded to the

the Primary and Auxiliary ADCs. The numbers are typical and

update rate is selected via the SF7–SF0 bits in the Sinc Filter
(SF) SFR. It is important to note that the peak-to-peak resolution figures represent the resolution for which there will be no
code flicker within a six-sigma limit.

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 V allow three combinations of differential pair
selection as well as an additional shorted input option (AIN2–AIN2).
The auxiliary ADC has three external input pins (labelled AIN3
to AIN5) as well as an internal connection to the internal on-chip
temperature sensor. All inputs to the auxiliary ADC are singleended inputs referenced to the AGND on the part. Channel
selection bits in the ADC1CON SFR detailed previously in
Table VI allow selection of one of four inputs.
Two input multiplexers switch the selected input channel to the
on-chip buffer amplifier in the case of the primary ADC and
directly to the sigma-delta modulator input in the case of the
auxiliary ADC. When the analog input channel is switched, the
settling time of the part must elapse before a new valid word is
available from the ADC.

Primary and Auxiliary ADC Inputs
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 gauges 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.
REV. B
–33–
ADuC824
The absolute input voltage range on the auxiliary ADC is restricted
to between AGND – 30 mV to AVDD + 30 mV. The slightly
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, while 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 µV (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 20 below.
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 = FFhex. 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 and 100 more conversion results are gathered, and so on until the last group of
100 samples are gathered with the ADC configured in the ±2.56 V
range. From Figure 20, The variation in the sample mean
through each range, i.e., the range matching, is seen to be of
the order of 2 µV.
The auxiliary ADC does not incorporate a PGA and is configured
for a fixed single input range of 0 to V

Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs
The analog inputs on the ADuC824 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 ADuC824 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.
Burnout Currents
The primary ADC on the ADuC824 contains two 100 nA constant current generators, one sourcing current from AVDD to
AIN(+), 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 VIII). 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, this 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.
Figure 20. Primary ADC Range Matching
–34–
REV. B
ADuC824
Excitation Currents
The ADuC824 also contains two identical 200 µA constant
current sources. Both source current from AVDD to Pin #3
(IEXC1) or Pin #4 (IEXC2). These current sources are controlled via bits in the ICON SFR shown in Table VIII. They
can be configured to source 200 µA individually to both pins or
a combination of both currents, i.e., 400 µA to either of the
selected pins. These current sources can be used to excite external resistive bridge or RTD sensors.
Reference Input
The ADuC824’s reference inputs, REFIN(+) and REFIN(–),
provide a differential reference input capability. The commonmode range for these differential inputs is from AGND to AVDD.
The nominal reference voltage, VREF (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 bandgap 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
ADuC824 is not used in a ratiometric application, a low noise
reference should be used. Recommended reference voltage sources
for the ADuC824 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 53, 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.
Reference Detect
The ADuC824 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 ADuC824 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 ADuC824 is performing normal conversions and the NOXREF
bit becomes active, the conversion results revert to all 1s. Therefore,
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 ADuC824 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.
Sigma-Delta Modulator
A sigma-delta ADC generally consists of two main blocks, an
analog modulator and a digital filter. In the case of the ADuC824
ADCs, the analog modulators consist of a difference amplifier,
an integrator block, a comparator, and a feedback DAC as illustrated in Figure 21.
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 sigma-delta 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
ADuC824 ADCs.
The ADuC824 filter is a low-pass, Sinc
3
or (sinx/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 VII.
REV. B
–35–
ADuC824
Figure 22 shows the frequency response of the ADC channel at the default SF word of 69 dec or 45 hex, 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 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.

ADC Chopping
Both ADCs on the ADuC824 implement a chopping scheme
whereby the ADC repeatability reverses its inputs. The decimated digital output words from the Sinc
3
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 VII, the full settling time through the ADC (or the time
to a first conversion result), will actually be given by 2 × t
ADC
.
The chopping scheme incorporated in the ADuC824 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.
–36–
REV. B
ADuC824
Calibration
The ADuC824 provides four calibration modes that can be programmed via the mode bits in the ADCMODE SFR detailed in
Table IV. In fact, every ADuC824 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 poweron, these factory calibration coefficients are automatically
downloaded to the calibration registers in the ADuC824 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 ADuC824 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 full-scale points. These
points are derived by performing a 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” 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 ADuC824 ADC calibrations are carried out automatically at the slowest update rate.
Internally in the ADuC824, 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. All ADuC824 ADC
specifications will only apply after a zero-scale and full-scale
calibration at the operating point (supply voltage/temperature)
of interest.
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 ADuC824 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 26).
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.
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.

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 ADuC824,
Flash/EE memory technology allows the user to update program
code space in-circuit, without the need to replace one-time
programmable (OTP) devices at remote operating nodes.
Flash/EE Memory and the ADuC824
The ADuC824 provides two arrays of Flash/EE Memory for user
applications. 8 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 using conventional third party memory programmers.
This array can also be programmed in-circuit, using the serial
download mode provided.
A 640-Byte 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 six SFRs. This space
can be programmed at a byte level, although it must first be
erased in 4-byte pages.
ADuC824 Flash/EE Memory Reliability
The Flash/EE Program and Data Memory arrays on the ADuC824
are fully qualified for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics,
namely Flash/EE Memory Cycling Endurance and Flash/EE
Memory Data Retention.
REV. B
–37–
ADuC824
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 sequenceA single Flash/EE
c. byte program sequenceMemory
d. second read/verify sequenceEndurance Cycle
In reliability qualification, every byte in both the program and
data Flash/EE memory is cycled from 00 hex to FFhex until a
first fail is recorded signifying the endurance limit of the on-chip
Flash/EE memory.
As indicated in the specification pages of this data sheet, the
ADuC824 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, and +85°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 ADuC824 has been
qualified in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention Lifetime Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature
(T
= 55°C). As part of this qualification procedure, the Flash/EE
J
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 with T
as shown

Using the Flash/EE Program Memory
The 8 Kbyte Flash/EE Program Memory array is mapped
into the lower 8 Kbytes of the 64 Kbytes program space
addressable by the ADuC824, and is used to hold user code
in typical applications.
The program memory Flash/EE memory arrays can be programmed in one of two modes, namely:
Serial Downloading (In-Circuit Programming)
As part of its factory boot code, the ADuC824 facilitates serial
code download via the standard UART serial port. Serial down-
load mode is automatically entered on power-up if the external
pin, PSEN, is pulled low through an external resistor as shown
in Figure 28. Once in this mode, the user can download code to
the program memory array while the device is sited in its target
application hardware. A PC serial download executable is provided as part of the ADuC824 QuickStart development system.

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 29. In this mode, Ports 0,
1, and 2 operate as the external data and address bus interface,
ALE operates as the Write Enable strobe, and Port 3 is used as a
general configuration port that configures the device for various
program and erase operations during parallel programming.
The high voltage (12 V) supply required for Flash/EE programming is generated using on-chip charge pumps to supply the high
voltage program lines.

Flash/EE Program Memory Security
The ADuC824 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 the user interface available on all
ADuC824 serial or parallel programming tools referenced on the
MicroConverter web page at www.analog.com/microconverter.
The security modes available on the ADuC824 are described
as follows:
Lock Mode
This mode locks code in memory, disabling parallel programming
of the program memory although reading the memory in parallel
mode is still allowed. This mode is deactivated by initiating a
“code-erase” command in serial download or parallel programming modes.
Secure Mode
This mode locks code in memory, disabling parallel programming
(program and verify/read commands) as well as disabling the
execution of a ‘MOVC’ instruction from external memory,
which is attempting to read the op codes from internal memory.
This mode is deactivated by initiating a “code-erase” 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. Therefore, it will not
enter serial download mode but only execute a normal reset
sequence. Serial Safe mode can only be disabled by initiating a
code-erase command in parallel programming mode.
Using the Flash/EE Data Memory
The user Flash/EE data memory array consists of 640 bytes that
are configured into 160 (00H to 9FH) 4-byte pages as shown in
Figure 30.
9FH BYTE 1BYTE 2BYTE 3BYTE 4
00H BYTE 1BYTE 2BYTE 3BYTE 4
Figure 30. Flash/EE Data Memory Configuration
As with other ADuC824 user-peripheral circuits, the interface to
this memory space is via a group of registers mapped in the SFR
space. A group of four data registers (EDATA1–4) are used to
hold 4-byte page data just accessed. EADRL is used to hold the
8-bit address of the page to be accessed. Finally, ECON is an
8-bit control register that may be written with one of five Flash/EE
memory access commands to trigger various read, write, erase, and
verify functions. These registers can be summarized as follows:
ECON:SFR Address: B9H
Function:Controls access to 640 Bytes

ECON—Flash/EE Memory Control SFR
This SFR acts as a command interpreter and may be written with
one of five command modes to enable various read, program and
erase cycles as detailed in Table XIII.
Table XIII. ECON–Flash/EE Memory Control Register
Command Modes
Command
ByteCommand Mode
01HREAD COMMAND
Results in four bytes being read into EDATA1–4
from memory page address contained in EADRL.
02HPROGRAM COMMAND
Results in four bytes (EDATA1–4) being written
to memory page address in EADRL. This write
command assumes the designated “write” page has
been pre-erased.
03HRESERVED FOR INTERNAL USE
03H should not be written to the ECON SFR.
04HVERIFY COMMAND
Allows the user to verify if data in EDATA1–4 is
contained in page address designated by EADRL.
A subsequent read of the ECON SFR will result
in a “zero” being read if the verification is valid;
a nonzero value will be read to indicate an invalid
verification.
05HERASE COMMAND
Results in an erase of the 4-byte page designated
in EADRL.
06HERASE-ALL COMMAND
Results in erase of the full Flash/EE Data memory
160-page (640 bytes) array.
07H to FFHRESERVED COMMANDS
Commands reserved for future use.
Flash/EE Memory Timing
The typical program/erase times for the Flash/EE Data Memory are:
Erase Full Array (640 Bytes) – 2 ms
Erase Single Page (4 Bytes) – 2 ms
Program Page (4 Bytes) – 250 µs
Read Page (4 Bytes) – Within Single Instruction Cycle
Using the Flash/EE Memory Interface
As with all Flash/EE memory architectures, the array can be programmed in-system at a byte level, although it must be erased
first; the erasure being performed in page blocks (4-byte pages
in this case).
A typical access to the Flash/EE Data array will involve setting
up the page address to be accessed in the EADRL SFR, configuring the EDATA1–4 with data to be programmed to the array
(the EDATA SFRs will not be written for read accesses) and
finally, writing the ECON command word which initiates one
of the six modes shown in Table XIII.
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 ADuC824 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
(250 µs or 2 ms later). 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.
Erase-All
Although the 640-byte User Flash/EE array 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 ADuC824.
An “ERASE-ALL” command consists of writing “06H” to the
ECON SFR, which initiates an erase of all 640 byte locations in
the Flash/EE array. This command coded in 8051 assembly would
appear as:
MOV ECON, #06H; Erase all Command
; 2 ms Duration
Program a Byte
In general terms, 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 erasure must happen
at a page level; therefore, a minimum of four bytes (1 page) will
be erased when an erase command is initiated.
A more specific example of the Program-Byte process is shown
below. In this example the user writes 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. As the user
is only required to modify one of the page bytes, the full page must
be first read so that this page can then be erased without the existing data being lost.
This example, coded in 8051 assembly, would appear as:

that the modulators and the core will be synchronous, regardless
of the core clock rate. The PLL control register is PLLCON.

TIME INTERVAL COUNTER (TIC)
A time interval counter is provided on-chip for 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.
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 later in this
data sheet.) If the ADuC824 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 0053 hex. The TIC-related
SFRs are described in Table XVI. Note also that the timebase
SFRs can be written initially with the current time, the TIC can
then be controlled and accessed by user software. In effect, this
facilitates the implementation of a real-time clock. A block

WATCHDOG TIMER
The purpose of the watchdog timer is to generate a device reset or
interrupt within a reasonable amount of time if the ADuC824
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 fails to set
(see PRE3–0 bits in WDCON). The watchdog timer itself is a
16-bit counter that is clocked at 32.768 kHz. The watchdog
time-out 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

If this bit is set by the user, the watchdog will generate an interrupt response instead of a system
reset when the watchdog timeout period has expired. This interrupt is not disabled by the CLR
EA instruction and it is also a fixed, high-priority interrupt. If the watchdog is not being used to
monitor the system, it can alternatively be used as a timer. The prescaler is used to set the timeout
period in which an interrupt will be generated. (See also Note 1, Table XXXIV in the Interrupt

ADuC824
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
The ADuC824 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 physical interface is shared
with the I
2
C interface and therefore the user can only enable one
or the other interface at any given time (see SPE in SPICON
below). The system can be configured for Master or Slave operation
and typically consists of four pins, namely:
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.
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
SPICONSPI Control Register
SFR AddressF8H
Power-On Default Value04H
Bit AddressableYes
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 XIX). In slave mode the SPICON register will have
to be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and CPOL)
of the expected input clock. In both master and slave mode
the data is transmitted on one edge of the SCLOCK signal and
sampled on the other. It is important therefore that the CPHA
and CPOL are configured the same for the master and slave devices.
SS (Slave Select Input Pin), Pin#13
The Slave Select (SS) input pin is only used when the ADuC824
is configured in slave mode to enable the SPI peripheral. This line
is active low. Data is only received or transmitted in slave mode
when the SS pin is low, allowing the ADuC824 to be used in single
master, multislave SPI configurations. If CPHA = 1 then the SS
input may be permanently pulled low. With CPHA = 0 then 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

Using the SPI Interface
Depending on the configuration of the bits in the SPICON SFR
shown in Table XIX, the ADuC824 SPI interface will transmit
or receive data in a number of possible modes. Figure 33 shows
all possible ADuC824 SPI configurations and the timing relationships and synchronization between the signals involved.

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 ADuC824 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.

ADuC824
8051-COMPATIBLE ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
This section gives a brief overview of the various secondary peripheral circuits are also available to the user on-chip. These remaining
functions are fully 8051-compatible and are controlled via standard
8051 SFR bit definitions.
Parallel I/O Ports 0–3
The ADuC824 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; others are
multiplexed with an alternate function 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 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I/O port that is directly
controlled via the Port 0 SFR (SFR address = 80 hex). Port 0
pins that have 1s written to them via the Port 0 SFR will be
configured as open drain and will therefore float. In that state,
Port 0 pins can be used as high impedance inputs. An external
pull-up resistor will be required on Port 0 outputs to force a
valid logic high level externally. Port 0 is also the multiplexed
low-order address and data bus during accesses to external program or data memory. In this application it uses strong internal
pull-ups when emitting 1s.
Port 1 is also an 8-bit port directly controlled via the P1 SFR
(SFR address = 90 hex). The Port 1 pins are divided into two
distinct pin groupings.
P1.0 and P1.1 pins on Port 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 (VOL) and will be capable of
sinking 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 XXI.
The remaining Port 1 pins (P1.2–P1.7) can only be configured
as Analog Input (ADC), Analog Output (DAC) or Digital Input
pins. By (power-on) default 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 input.
Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors directly
controlled via the P2 SFR (SFR address = A0 hex). Port 2 pins
that have 1s written to them are pulled high by the internal pull-up
resistors 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 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.
Port 3 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-ups directly
controlled via the P2 SFR (SFR address = B0 hex). Port 3 pins
that have 1s written to them are pulled high by the internal pull-ups
and in that state they can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3
pins being pulled externally low will source current because of the
internal pull-ups. Port 3 pins also have various secondary functions described in Table XXII.
The alternate functions of P1.0, P1.1, and Port 3 pins can only be
activated if the corresponding bit latch in the P1 and P3 SFRs
contains a 1. Otherwise, the port pin is stuck at 0.
Timers/Counters
The ADuC824 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 one can think of it 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 S5P2 of
every machine cycle. When the samples show a high in 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 (24 core clock periods) to recognize a 1-to-0 transition, the maximum count rate is 1/24 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.

Figure 34. 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 TF0. 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 (16-Bit Timer/Counter)
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 35.

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 37. 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.

The following paragraphs describe the operating modes for timer/

SFR as shown in Table XXVI.
In ‘Autoreload’ mode, there are two options, which are selected
by bit EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, then 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, then
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 38.

16-Bit Capture Mode
In the ‘Capture’ mode, there are again two options, which are
selected by bit EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, then Timer 2
is a 16-bit timer or counter which, upon overflowing, sets bit TF2,
the Timer 2 overflow bit, which can be used to generate an interrupt. If EXEN2 = 1, then 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, and
EXF2, like TF2, can generate an interrupt. The Capture Mode
is illustrated in Figure 39.
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. Hence Timer 2 interrupts
will not occur so they do not have to be disabled. In this mode
the EXF2 flag, however, 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

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)

cleared, 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 activated if the received ninth data bit in RB8 is 0. If SM2 is cleared, RI will
be set as soon as the byte of data has been received.

while the SFR interface to the UART is comprised of the following registers.

The serial port receive and transmit registers are both accessed
through the SBUF SFR (SFR address = 99 hex). Writing to
SBUF loads the transmit register and reading SBUF accesses a
physically separate receive register.

Mode 0: 8-Bit Shift Register Mode
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 eight bits are transmitted with the least-significant bit (LSB) first, as shown in
Figure 40.

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 is set by the Timer 1 or Timer 2 overflow
rate, or a combination of the two (one for transmission and the
other for reception).
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 41.

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.
–58–
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 0 Baud Rate = (Core Clock Frequency*/12)
*In these descriptions, Core Clock Frequency refers to the core clock frequency
selected via the CD0–2 bits in the PLLCON SFR.
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:
Mode 2 Baud Rate = (2
SMOD
/64) × (Core Clock Frequency)
Mode 1 and 3 Baud Rate Generation
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).
REV. B
ADuC824
Timer 1 Generated Baud Rates
When Timer 1 is used as the baud rate generator, the baud rates
in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate and
the value of SMOD as follows:
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate = (2
SMOD
/32) × (Timer 1 Overflow Rate)
The Timer 1 interrupt should be disabled in this application. 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 = 0100Binary). In that case, the baud
rate is given by the formula:
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate =
SMOD
(2
/32) × (Core Clock/(12 × [256-TH1]))
A very low baud rate can also be achieved with Timer 1 by leaving
the Timer 1 interrupt enabled, and configuring the timer to run
as a 16-bit timer (high nibble of TMOD = 0100Binary), and using
the Timer 1 interrupt to do a 16-bit software reload. Table XXVIII
below, 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. 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.
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. Hence, it increments six times faster than Timer 1, and
therefore baud rates six times faster are possible. Because Timer 2
has 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 42.
In this case, the baud rate is given by the formula:
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate
= (Core Clk)/(32 × [65536 – (RCAP2H, RCAP2L)])
Table XXIX shows some commonly used baud rates and how they
might be calculated from a core clock frequency of 1.5728 MHz
and 12.5829 MHz.

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 observed as shown in Table XXXIII.
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 XXXIV.

*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.

ADuC824
ADuC824 HARDWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
This section outlines some of the key hardware design considerations that must be addressed when integrating the ADuC824
into any hardware system.
Clock Oscillator
As described earlier, the core clock frequency for the ADuC824
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 43.
As shown in the typical external crystal connection diagram in
Figure 44, 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.
In addition to its internal program and data memories, the
ADuC824 can access up to 64 Kbytes of external program memory
(ROM/PROM/etc.) and up to 16 Mbytes of external data
memory (SRAM).
To select from which code space (internal or external program
memory) to begin executing instructions, 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 of the
DD
internal 8 Kbytes Flash/EE code space. When EA is low (tied to
ground) user program execution will start at address 0 of the
external code space. In either case, addresses above 1FFF hex
(8K) are mapped to the external space.
Note that a second very important function of the EA pin is
described in the Single Pin Emulation Mode section of this
data sheet.
External program memory (if used) must be connected to the
ADuC824 as illustrated in Figure 44. Note that 16 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/data bus. It emits the low byte of the program counter
(PCL) as an address, and then goes into a float 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
address latch. Meanwhile, Port 2 (P2) emits the high byte of
the program counter (PCH), then PSEN strobes the EPROM
and the code byte is read into the ADuC824.

Figure 44. 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 by 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 45 shows a hardware configuration for accessing up to
64 Kbytes of external RAM. This interface is standard to any 8051
compatible MCU.

In either implementation, Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed
address/data bus. It emits the low byte of the data pointer (DPL) as
an address, which is latched by a pulse of ALE prior to data being
placed on the bus by the ADuC824 (write operation) or the
SRAM (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.
Detailed timing diagrams of external program and data memory
read and write access can be found in the timing specification
sections of this data sheet.
Power-On Reset Operation
External POR (power-on reset) circuitry must be implemented to
drive the RESET pin of the ADuC824. The circuit must hold
the RESET pin asserted (high) whenever the power supply
) is below 2.5 V. Furthermore, VDD must remain above
(DV
DD
2.5 V for at least 10 ms before the RESET signal is deasserted
(low) by which time the power supply must have reached at
least a 2.7 V level. The external POR circuit must be operational down to 1.2 V or less. The timing diagram of Figure 47
illustrates this functionality under three separate events: powerup, brownout, and power-down. Notice that when RESET is

The best way to implement an external POR function to meet

such as the ADM809/ADM810 SOT-23 packaged PORs from
Analog Devices. Recommended connection diagrams for both
active-high ADM810 and active-low ADM809 PORs are shown

Power Supplies
The ADuC824’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
of 3 V while the AV
level can be at 5 V or vice versa if required.

and a separate 10 µF capacitor

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 AV
pin with trace lengths
DD
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 ADuC824 should be referenced to the same
system ground reference point.
Power Consumption
The “CORE” values given represent the current drawn by DVDD,
while the rest (“ADC,” and “DAC”) are pulled by the AV
DD
pin
and can be disabled in software when not in use. The other
on-chip peripherals (watchdog timer, power supply monitor, etc.)
consume negligible current and are therefore lumped in with the
“CORE” operating current here. Of course, the user must add
any currents sourced by the parallel and serial I/O pins, and that
sourced by the DAC, in order to determine the total current
needed at the ADuC824’s supply pins. Also, current draw from
the DVDD supply will increase by approximately 5 mA during
Flash/EE erase and program cycles
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,
the ADuC824 consumes a total of 5 µA typically. There are five
ways of terminating power-down mode:
Asserting the RESET Pin (#15)
Returns to normal mode all registers are set to their default state
and program execution starts at the reset vector once the Reset
pin is de-asserted.
Cycling Power
All registers are set to their default state and program execution
starts at the reset vector.
Time Interval Counter (TIC) Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated and the CPU services the TIC
interrupt, the RETI at the end of the TIC Interrupt Service
Routine will return the core to the instruction after that which
enabled power down.
I2C or SPI Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated and the CPU services the I2C/
SPI interrupt. The RETI at the end of the ISR will return the
core to the instruction after that which enabled power down. It
should be noted that the I
2
C/SPI power down interrupt enable
bit (SERIPD) in the PCON SFR must first be set to allow this
mode of operation.
INT0 Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated and the CPU services the
INT0 interrupt. The RETI at the end of the ISR will return the
core to the instruction after that which enabled power-down. It
should be noted that the INT0 power-down interrupt enable bit
(INT0PD) in the PCON SFR must first be set to allow this
mode of operation.
Grounding and Board Layout Recommendations
As with all high resolution data converters, special attention must
be paid to grounding and PC board layout of ADuC824-based
designs in order to achieve optimum performance from the ADCs
and DAC.
Although the ADuC824 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 ADuC824, as illustrated in the
simplified example of Figure 52a. 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 ADuC824 since a ground loop would result.
In these cases, tie the ADuC824’s AGND and DGND pins all
to the analog ground plane, as illustrated in Figure 52b. 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 ADuC824 can then be placed between
the digital and analog sections, as illustrated in Figure 52c.

Figure 52. System Grounding Schemes
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 52b with DV
return currents from DV
to flow through AGND. Also, try to

since that would force
DD
avoid 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 52c. 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.
If the user plans to connect fast logic signals (rise/fall time < 5 ns)
to any of the ADuC824’s digital inputs, add a series resistor to
each relevant line to keep rise and fall times longer than 5 ns at
the ADuC824 input pins. A value of 100 Ω or 200 Ω is usually
sufficient to prevent high-speed signals from coupling capacitively
into the ADuC824 and affecting the accuracy of ADC conversions.
ADuC824 System Self-Identification
In some hardware designs it may be an advantage for the software running on the ADuC824 target to identify the host MicroConverter. For example, code running on the ADuC824 may be
used at future date to run on an ADuC816 MicroConverter host
and the code may be required to operate differently.
The CHIPID SFR is a read-only register located at SFR address
C2 hex. The top nibble of this byte is set to ‘0’ to designate
an ADuC824 host. For an ADuC816 host, the CHIPID SFR
will contain the value ‘1’ in the upper nibble.

OTHER HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
To facilitate in-circuit programming, plus in-circuit debug and
emulation options, users will want to implement some simple
connection points in their hardware that will allow easy access
to download, debug, and emulation modes.
In-Circuit Serial Download Access
Nearly all ADuC824 designs will want to take advantage of the
in-circuit reprogrammability of the chip. This is accomplished by a
connection to the ADuC824’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 53 with a simple ADM202-based circuit. If users would
rather not design an RS-232 chip onto a board, refer to Application
Note, uC006 – A 4-Wire UART-to-PC Interface*, for a simple
(and zero-cost-per-board) method of gaining in-circuit serial
download access to the ADuC824.
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 53. To get the ADuC824
into download mode, simply connect this jumper and powercycle 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 come up 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
ADuC824 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 ADuC824 is a dedicated controller for
single-pin in-circuit emulation (ICE) using standard production
ADuC824 devices. In this mode, emulation access is gained by
connection to a single pin, the EA pin. Normally, this pin is hardwired 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 53. The
emulator will then connect to the 2-pin header also shown in
Figure 53. 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 53, 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).
Enhanced-Hooks Emulation Mode
ADuC824 also supports enhanced-hooks emulation mode. An
enhanced-hooks-based emulator is available from Metalink
Corporation (www.metaice.com). No special hardware support
for these emulators needs to be designed onto the board since
these are “pod-style” emulators where users must replace the chip
on their board with a header device that the emulator pod plugs
into. The only hardware concern is then one of determining if
adequate space is available for the emulator pod to fit into the
system enclosure.

Figure 53 also includes connections for a typical analog measurement application of the ADuC824, 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. An external differential reference voltage is generated
by the current sourced through resistor R1. This current also
flows directly through the RTD, which generates a differential
voltage directly proportional to temperature. This differential
voltage is routed directly to the positive and negative inputs of
the primary ADC (AIN1, AIN2 respectively). A second external
resistor, R2, is used to ensure that absolute analog input voltage
on the negative input to the primary ADC stays within that
specified for the ADuC824, i.e., AGND + 100 mV.
It should also be noted that variations in the excitation current
do not affect the measurement system as the input voltage from
the RTD and reference voltage across R1 vary ratiometrically with
the excitation current. Resistor R1 must, however, have a low
temperature coefficient to avoid errors in the reference voltage
over temperature.
