EM78P156EL is an 8-bit microprocessor designed and developed with low-power and high-speed CMOS
technology. It is equipped with 1K*13-bits Electrical One Time Programmable Read Only Memory
(OTP-ROM). It provides a PROTECTION bit to prevent user’s code in the OTP memory from being
intruded. 6 OPTION bits are also available to meet user’s requirements.
With its OTP-ROM feature, the EM78P156EL is able to offer a convenient way of developing and verifying
user’s programs. Moreover, user can take advantage of EMC Writer to easily program his development
code.

4.1 Operational Registers
1. R0 (Indirect Addressing Register)
R0 is not a physically implemented register. Its major function is to perform as an indirect addressing
pointer. Any instruction using R0 as a pointer actually accesses data pointed by the RAM Select
AC
Register (R4).
2. R1 (Time Clock /Counter)
• Increased by an external signal edge, which is defined by TE bit (CONT-4) through the TCC pin, or
by the instruction cycle clock.
• Writable and readable as any other registers.
This specification is subject to change without prior notice. 2002/04/19 6
Page 7
EM78P156EL
OTP ROM
• Defined by resetting PAB(CONT-3).
• The prescaler is assigned to TCC, if the PAB bit (CONT-3) is reset.
• The contents of the prescaler counter will be cleared only when TCC register is written with a value.
3. R2 (Program Counter) & Stack
• Depending on the device type, R2 and hardware stack are 10-bit wide. The structure is depicted in
Fig.3.
• Generating 1024×13 bits on-chip OTP ROM addresses to the relative programming instruction
codes. One program page is 1024 words long.
• R2 is set as all "0"s when under RESET condition.
• "JMP" instruction allows direct loading of the lower 10 program counter bits. Thus, "JMP" allows PC
to go to any location within a page.
• "CALL" instruction loads the lower 10 bits of the PC, and then PC+1 is pushed into the stack. Thus,
the subroutine entry address can be located anywhere within a page.
• "RET" ("RETL k", "RETI") instruction loads the program counter with the contents of the top-level
stack.
• "ADD R2, A" allows the contents of ‘A’ to be added to the current PC, and the ninth and tenth bits of
the PC are cleared.
• "MOV R2, A" allows to load an address from the "A" register to the lower 8 bits of the PC, and the
ninth and tenth bits of the PC are cleared.
• Any instruction that writes to R2 (e.g., "ADD R2,A", "MOV R2,A", "BC R2,6",⋅⋅⋅⋅⋅) will cause the ninth
and tenth bits (A8~A9) of the PC to be cleared. Thus, the computed jump is limited to the first 256
locations of a page.
• All instruction are single instruction cycle (fclk/2 or fclk/4) except for the instruction that would
change the contents of R2. Such instruction will need one more instruction cycle.

4.3 TCC/WDT & Prescaler
An 8-bit counter available as prescaler for the TCC or WDT. The prescaler is available for either the
TCC or WDT only at any given time, and the PAB bit of the CONT register is used to determine the
prescaler assignment. The PSR0~PSR2 bits determine the ratio. The prescaler is cleared each time the
instruction is written to TCC under TCC mode. The WDT and prescaler, when assigned to WDT mode,
are cleared by the “WDTC” or “SLEP” instructions. Fig. 5 depicts the circuit diagram of TCC/WDT.
• R1 (TCC) is an 8-bit timer/counter. The clock source of TCC can be internal or external clock input
(edge selectable from TCC pin). If TCC signal source is from internal clock, TCC will increase by 1 at
every instruction cycle (without prescaler). Referring to Fig. 5, CLK=Fosc/2 or CLK=Fosc/4 application
is determined by the CODE Option bit CLK status. CLK=Fosc/2 is used if CLK bit is "0", and
CLK=Fosc/4 is used if CLK bit is "1". If TCC signal source comes from external clock input, TCC is
increased by 1 at every falling edge or rising edge of TCC pin.
• The watchdog timer is a free running on-chip RC oscillator. The WDT will keep on running even when
the oscillator driver has been turned off (i.e. in sleep mode). During normal operation or sleep mode, a
WDT time-out (if enabled) will cause the device to reset. The WDT can be enabled or disabled any
time during normal mode by software programming. Refer to WDTE bit of IOCE register. Without
prescaler, the WDT time-out period is approximately 18 ms1 (default).

4.4 I/O Ports
The I/O registers, both Port 5 and Port 6, are bi-directional tri-state I/O ports. Port 6 can be pulled high
internally by software. In addition, Port 6 can also have open-drain output by software. Input status
change interrupt (or wake-up) function on Port 6. P50 ~ P52 and P60 ~ P63 pins can be pulled down by
software. Each I/O pin can be defined as "input" or "output" pin by the I/O control register (IOC5 ~ IOC6).
P50~P51 are the R-option pins enabled by setting the ROC bit in the IOCE register to 1. When the
R-option function is used, it is recommended that P50~P51 are used as output pins. When R-option is in
enable state, P50~P51 must be programmed as input pins. Under R-option mode, the current/power
consumption by Rex should be taken into the consideration to promote energy conservation.
The I/O registers and I/O control registers are both readable and writable. The I/O interface circuits for
Port 5 and Port 6 are shown in the following Figures 6, 7(a), 7(b), and Figure 8.

4.5 RESET and Wake-up
1. RESET
A RESET is initiated by one of the following events-
(1) Power on reset.
(2) /RESET pin input "low", or
(3) WDT time-out (if enabled).
The device is kept in a RESET condition for a period of approx. 18ms1 (one oscillator start-up timer
period) after the reset is detected. Once the RESET occurs, the following functions are performed.
Refer to Fig.9.
• The oscillator is running, or will be started.
EM78P156EL
OTP ROM
• The Program Counter (R2) is set to all "0".
• All I/O port pins are configured as input mode (high-impedance state).
• The Watchdog timer and prescaler are cleared.
• When power is switched on, the upper 3 bits of R3 are cleared.
• The bits of the CONT register are set to all "1" except for the Bit 6 (INT flag).
• The bits of the IOCA register are set to all "1".
• The bits of the IOCB register are set to all "1".
• The IOCC register is cleared.
• The bits of the IOCD register are set to all "1".
• Bit 7 of the IOCE register is set to "1", and Bits 4 and 6 are cleared.
• Bits 0~2 of RF and bits 0~2 of IOCF register are cleared.
The sleep (power down) mode is asserted by executing the “SLEP” instruction. While entering sleep
mode, WDT (if enabled) is cleared but keeps on running. The controller can be awakened by-
(1) External reset input on /RESET pin,
(2) WDT time-out (if enabled), or
(3) Port 6 input status changes (if enabled).
The first two cases will cause the EM78P156EL to reset. The T and P flags of R3 can be used to
determine the source of the reset (wake-up). The last case is considered the continuation of program
execution and the global interrupt ("ENI" or "DISI" being executed) decides whether or not the

controller branches to the interrupt vector following wake-up. If ENI is executed before SLEP, the
instruction will begin to execute from the address 008H after wake-up. If DISI is executed before
SLEP, the operation will restart from the succeeding instruction right next to SLEP after wake-up.
Only one of Cases 2 and 3 can be enabled before entering the sleep mode. That is,
[a] if Port 6 Input Status Change Interrupt is enabled before SLEP , WDT must be disabled. by
software. However, the WDT bit in the option register remains enabled. Hence, the
EM78P156EL can be awakened only by Case 1 or 3.
[b] if WDT is enabled before SLEP, Port 6 Input Status Change Interrupt must be disabled. Hence,
the EM78P156EL can be awakened only by Case 1 or 2. Refer to the section on Interrupt.
If Port 6 Input Status Change Interrupt is used to wake-up the EM78P156EL (Case [a] above), the
following instructions must be executed before SLEP:
MOV A, @xx000110b ; Select internal TCC clock
CONTW
CLR R1 ; Clear TCC and prescaler
MOV A, @xxxx1110b ; Select WDT prescaler
CONTW
WDTC ; Clear WDT and prescaler
MOV A, @0xxxxxxxb ; Disable WDT
IOW RE
MOV R6, R6 ; Read Port 6
MOV A, @00000x1xb ; Enable Port 6 input change interrupt
IOW RF
ENI (or DISI) ; Enable (or disable) global interrupt
SLEP ; Sleep
NOP
One problem user should be aware of, is that after waking up from the sleep mode, WDT would
enable automatically. The WDT operation (being enabled or disabled) should be handled
appropriately by software after waking up from the sleep mode.

4.6 Interrupt
The EM78P156EL has three falling-edge interrupts listed below:
(1) TCC overflow interrupt
(2) Port 6 Input Status Change Interrupt
(3) External interrupt [(P60, /INT) pin].
Before the Port 6 Input Status Change Interrupt is enabled, reading Port 6 (e.g. "MOV R6,R6") is
necessary. Each pin of Port 6 will have this feature if its status changed. Any pin configured as output or
P60 pin configured as /INT is excluded from this function. The Port 6 Input Status Changed Interrupt can
wake up the EM78P156EL from the sleep mode if Port 6 is enabled prior to going into the sleep mode by
executing SLEP. When the chip wakes-up, the controller will continue to execute the succeeding
address if the global interrupt is disabled or branch to the interrupt vector 008H if the global interrupt is
enabled.
RF is the interrupt status register that records the interrupt requests in the relative flags/bits. IOCF is an
interrupt mask register. The global interrupt is enabled by the ENI instruction and is disabled by the DISI
instruction. When one of the interrupts (enabled) occurs, the next instruction will be fetched from
address 008H. Once in the interrupt service routine, the source of an interrupt can be determined by
polling the flag bits in RF. The interrupt flag bit must be cleared by instructions before leaving the
interrupt service routine and before interrupts are enabled to avoid recursive interrupts.
The flag (except ICIF bit) in the Interrupt Status Register (RF) is set regardless of the status of its mask
bit or the execution of ENI. Note that the outcome of RF will be the logic AND of RF and IOCF (refer to
Fig. 10). The RETI instruction ends the interrupt routine and enables the global interrupt (the execution
of ENI).
When an interrupt is generated by the INT instruction (enabled), the next instruction will be fetched from
address 001H.

3. External RC Oscillator Mode
For some applications that do not need a very precise timing calculation, the RC oscillator (Fig. 15)
offers a lot of cost savings. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the frequency of the RC oscillator is
influenced by the supply voltage, the values of the resistor (Rext), the capacitor (Cext), and even by
the operation temperature. Moreover, the frequency also changes slightly from one chip to another
due to the manufacturing process variation.
In order to maintain a stable system frequency, the values of the Cext should not be less than 20pF,
and that the value of Rext should not be greater than 1 M ohm. If they cannot be kept in this range, the
frequency is easily affected by noise, humidity, and leakage.
The smaller the Rext in the RC oscillator, the faster its frequency will be. On the contrary, for very low
Rext values, for instance, 1 KΩ, the oscillator becomes unstable because the NMOS cannot
discharge the current of the capacitance correctly.
Based on the above reasons, it must be kept in mind that all of the supply voltage, the operation
temperature, the components of the RC oscillator, the package types, the way the PCB is layout, will
affect the system frequency.

4.9 Power On Considerations
Any microcontroller is not guaranteed to start to operate properly before the power supply stays at its
steady state. EM78P156EL is equipped with Power On Voltage Detector (POVD) with a detecting level
of 1.8V. It will work well if Vdd rise quick enough (50 ms or less). In many critical applications, however,
extra devices are still required to assist in solving power-up problems.
4.10 External Power On Reset Circuit
The circuit shown in Fig.16 implements an external RC to produce the reset pulse. The pulse width (time
constant) should be kept long enough for Vdd to reached minimum operation voltage. This circuit is
used when the power supply has slow rise time. Because the current leakage from the /RESET pin is
about ±5µA, it is recommended that R should not be greater than 40 K. In this way, the /RESET pin
voltage is held below 0.2V. The diode (D) acts as a short circuit at the moment of power down. The
capacitor C will discharge rapidly and fully. Rin, the current-limited resistor, will prevent high current or
ESD (electrostatic discharge) from flowing to pin /RESET.

4.11 Residue-Voltage Protection
When battery is replaced, device power (Vdd) is taken off but residue-voltage remains. The
residue-voltage may trips below Vdd minimum, but not to zero. This condition may cause a poor
power on reset. Fig.18 and Fig. 19 show how to build a residue-voltage protection circuit.

4.12 Instruction Set
Each instruction in the instruction set is a 13-bit word divided into an OP code and one or more
operands. Normally, all instructions are executed within one single instruction cycle (one instruction
consists of 2 oscillator periods), unless the program counter is changed by instruction "MOV R2,A",

"ADD R2,A", or by instructions of arithmetic or logic operation on R2 (e.g. "SUB R2,A", "BS(C) R2,6",
"CLR R2", ⋅⋅⋅⋅). In this case, the execution takes two instruction cycles.
If for some reasons, the specification of the instruction cycle is not suitable for certain applications, try
modifying the instruction as follows:
(A) Change one instruction cycle to consist of 4 oscillator periods.
(B) "JMP", "CALL", "RET", "RETL", "RETI", or the conditional skip ("JBS", "JBC", "JZ", "JZA", "DJZ",
"DJZA") commands which were tested to be true, are executed within two instruction cycles.
The instructions that are written to the program counter also take two instruction cycles.
Case (A) is selected by the CODE Option bit, called CLK. One instruction cycle consists of two
oscillator clocks if CLK is low, and four oscillator clocks if CLK is high.
Note that once the 4 oscillator periods within one instruction cycle is selected as in Case (A), the
internal clock source to TCC should be CLK=Fosc/4, instead of Fosc/ 2 as indicated in Fig. 5.
In addition, the instruction set has the following features:
(1) Every bit of any register can be set, cleared, or tested directly.

(2) The I/O register can be regarded as general register. That is, the same instruction can operate
on I/O register.
The symbol "R" represents a register designator that specifies which one of the registers (including
operational registers and general purpose registers) is to be utilized by the instruction. "b" represents
a bit field designator that selects the value for the bit which is located in the register "R", and affects
operation. "k" represents an 8 or 10-bit constant or literal value.
