2.3 CPU REGISTERS
The 6 CPU registers shown in Figure 6 are not
present in the memory mapping and are accessed
by specific instructions.

Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operan ds and the results of the
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
In indexed addressing modes, these 8-bit registers
are used to create either effective addresses or
temporary storage areas for data manipulation.
(The Cross-Assembler generates a precede instruction (PRE) to indicate that the following instruction refers to the Y register.)
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt automatic procedures (not pushed to and popped from
the stack).
Program Cou nt er (P C )
The program counter is a 16-bit register containing
the address of the next instruction to be executed
by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL
(Program Counter Low which is the LSB) and PCH
(Program Counter High which is the MSB).

The 8-bit Condition Code register c ontains the interrupt mask and four flags represent ative of the
result of the instruction just executed. This register
can also be handled by the PUSH and POP instructions.
These bits can be individually tested and/or controlled by specific instructions.
Bit 4 = H
Half carry
.
This bit is set by hardware when a carry occurs between bits 3 and 4 of t he ALU during an ADD or
ADC instruction. It is reset by hardware during the
same instructions.
0: No half carry has occurred.
1: A half carry has occurred.
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruction. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subroutines .
Bit 3 = I
Interrupt mask
.
This bit is set by hardware when entering in interrupt or by software to disable all interrup ts except
the TRAP software interrupt. This bit is cleared by
software.
0: Interrupts are enabled.
1: Interrupts are disabled.
This bit is controlled by the RIM, SIM and IRET instructions and is tested by the JRM and JRNM instructions.
Note: Interrupts requested while I is set are
latched and can be processed whe n I is cleared.
By default an interrupt routine is not in terruptable
because the I bi t is set by hardware at the start of
the routine and reset by the IRET instruction at the
end of the routine. If the I bit is cleared by software
in the interrupt routine, pending interrupts are
serviced regardless of the priority level of the current interrupt routine.
Bit 2 = N
Negative
.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. It is representative of the result sign of the last arithmeti c,
logical or data manipulation. It is a copy of the 7
bit of the result.
0: The result of the last operation is positive or null.
1: The result of the last operation is negative
(i.e. the most significant bit is a logic 1).
This bit is accessed by the JRMI and JRPL instructions.
Zero
Bit 1 = Z
.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This bit indicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical
or data manipulation is zero.
0: The result of the last operation is different from
zero.
1: The result of the last operation is zero.
This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test
instructions.
Bit 0 = C
Carry/borrow.
This bit is set and cleared b y hardware and software. It indicates an overflow or an underflow has
occurred during the last arithmetic operation.
0: No overflow or underflow has occurred.
1: An overflow or underflow has occurred.
This bit is driven by the SCF and RCF instructions
and tested by the JRC and JRNC instructions. It is
also affected by the “bit test and branch”, shift and
rotate instructions.

SP7SP6SP5SP4SP3SP2SP1SP0
The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is always pointing to the next free location in the stack.
It is then decremented after data has been pushed
onto the stack and incremented before data is
popped from the stack (see Figure 7).
Since the stack is 256 bytes deep, the 8th most
significant bits are forced by hardware. Following
an MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruction (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset value (the SP7 to SP0 bits are set) which is the
stack higher address.
The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD instruction.
Note: When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack
Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit, wi thout indicating the s tack overflow. The previously
stored information is then o verwritten and therefore lost. The stack also wraps in case of an underflow.
The stack is used to save the retu rn address during a subroutine call and the CPU context during
an interrupt. The user may also directly manipulate
the stack by means of the PUSH and POP instructions. In the case of an interrupt, the PCL is stored
at the first location point ed to by the SP. Then the
other registers are stored in the next locations as
shown in Figure 7.
– When an interrupt is received, the SP is decre-
mented and the context is pushed on the stack.
– On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented
and the context is popped from the stack.
A subroutine call occupies two locations and an interrupt five locat ions i n the sta ck ar ea.
The MCU accepts either a crystal or ceramic resonator, or an external clock signal to drive the internal oscillator. The internal clock (f
from the external oscillator frequency (f
) is derived
CPU
OSC).
The
external Oscillator clock is first divided by 2, and
an additional division factor of 2, 4, 8, or 16 can be
applied, in Slow Mode, to red uce th e f requency of
the f
; this clock signal is also routed to the on-
CPU
chip peripherals. The CPU clock signal consists of
a square wave with a duty cycle of 50%.
The internal oscillat or is designed to operate with
an AT-cut parallel resonant quartz crystal resonator in the frequency range specified for f
osc
. The
circuit shown in Figure 9 is recommended whe n
using a crystal, and Tab le 4 lists the recommended capacitance and feedback resistance values.
The crystal and associated components should be
mounted as close as p ossible to the input pins i n
order to minimize output distortion and start-up
stabilisation time.
Use of an external CMOS oscillator is recommended when crystals outside the specified frequency ranges are to be used.
3.1.2 External Clock
An external clock may be applied to the OSCIN input with the OSCOUT pin not connected, as

3.2 RESET
3.2.1 Introd uction
There are four sources of Reset:
– RESET
pin (external source)
– Power-O n Reset (Internal source)
– W ATCHDOG (Internal Source)
– Lo w Voltage Detection Reset (internal source)
The Reset Service Routine vector is located at ad-
dress FFFEh-FFFFh.
3.2.2 External Reset
The RESET
pin is both an input and an open-drain
output with integrated pull-up resi stor. When one
of the internal Reset sources is active, the Reset
pin is driven low for a duration of t
RESET
to reset
the whole application.
3.2.3 Reset Operation
The duration of the Reset state is a minimum of
4096 internal CPU Clock cycles. During the Reset
state, all I/Os take their reset value.
A Reset signal originating from an external source
must have a duration of at least t
PULSE
in order to
Figure 11. Reset Block Diagram
be recognised. This detection is asynchronous
and therefore the MCU can enter Reset state even
in Halt mode.
At the end of the Reset cycle, the MCU may be
held in the Reset state by an External Reset signal. The RESET
has risen to a point where the MCU can oper-

pin may thus be used to ens ure
ate correctly before the user program is run. Following a Reset event, or after exiting Halt mode, a
4096 CPU Clock cycle delay period is initiated in
order to allow the oscillat or to stabilise and to ensure that recovery has taken place from the Reset
state.
In the high state, the RESET

). This resistor

can be pulled low b y ex ternal circuitry to res et t he

The RESET

3.2.4 Low Voltage Detector Reset
The on-chip Low Voltage Detector (LVD) generates a static reset when the supply voltage is below a reference value. The LVD functions both
during power-on as well as when the power supply
drops (brown-out). The reference value for a voltage drop is lower than the reference value for power-on in order to avoid a parasitic reset when the
MCU starts running and sinks current on the supply (hysteresis).
The LVD Reset circuitry generates a reset when

- under full software control or
- in static safe reset
In this condition, secure operation is always en-
sured for the application without the need for external reset hardware.
During a Low Voltage Detector Reset, the RESET
pin is held low, thus perm itting the MCU to reset
other devices.
In noisy environments, the power supply may drop
for short periods and cause the Low Voltage Detector to generate a Reset too frequen tly. In such
ST72E121 ST72T121
cases, it is recommended to us e devices without
the LVD Reset option and to rely on the watchdog
function to detect application runaway conditions.

4 INTE RRUPTS
The ST7 core may be interrupted by one of two different methods: maskable hardware interrupts as
listed in the Interrupt Mapping Table and a nonmaskable software interrupt (TRAP). The Interrupt
processing flowchart is shown in Figure 15.
The maskable interrupts must be enabled by
clearing the I bit in order to be serviced. However,
disabled interrupts may be latched and processed
when they are enabled (see external interrupts
subsection).
Note: After reset, all interrupts are disabled.
When an interrupt has to be serviced:
– No rmal processing is susp ended at the end of
the current instruction execution.
– The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto
the stack.
– The I bit of the CC register is set to prevent addi-
tional interrupts.
– The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of
the interrupt to service and the first instruction of
the interrupt service routine is fetched (refer to
the Interrupt Mapping Table for vector addresses).
The interrupt service routine should finish with the
IRET instruction which c auses the conten ts o f the
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,
the I bit will be cleared a nd the main pro gram will
resume.
Priority Management
By default, a servicing interrupt cannot be interrupted because the I bit is set by hardware entering in interrupt routine.
In the case when several inte rrupt s are simultaneously pending, an hardware priority defines which
one will be serviced first (see the Interrupt Mapping Table).
Interrupts and Low Power Mode
All interrupts allow the processor to leave the
WAIT low power mode. Only external and specifically mentioned interrupts allow the processor to
leave the HALT low power mode (refer to the “Exit
from HALT“ column in the I nterrupt Mapping Table).
4.1 NON MASKABLE SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
This interrupt is entered when the TRAP instruction is executed regardless of the state of the I bit.
It will be serviced according to the flowchart on
Figure 15.
4.2 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
External interrupt vectors can be loaded into the
PC register if the corresponding ext ernal interrupt
occurred and if the I bit is cleared. These interrupts
allow the processor to leave the Halt low power
mode.
The external interrupt polarity is selected through
the miscellaneous register or interrupt register (if
available).
An external interrupt triggered on edge will be
latched and the interrupt request automatically
cleared upon entering the interrupt service routine.
If several input pins, connected to the same interrupt vector, are configured as interrupts, their signals are logically ANDed and inverted before entering the edge/level detection block.
Caution: The type of sensitivity defined in the Miscellaneous or Interrupt register (if available) applies to the ei source. In case of an ANDed source
(as described on the I/O ports section), a low level
on an I/O pin configured as input with interrupt,
masks the interrupt request even in case of risingedge sensitivity.
4.3 PERIPHERAL INTERRUPTS
Different peripheral interrupt flags in the status
register are able to cause an interrupt when they
are active if both:
– The I bit of the CC register is cleared.
– The corresponding enable bit is set in the control
register.
If any of these two conditions is false, the interrupt
is latched and thus remains pending.
Clearing an interrupt request is done by:
– Writing “0” to the corresponding bit in the status
register or
– Access to the status register while the f lag i s set
followed by a read or write of an associated register.
Note: the clearing sequence resets the internal
latch. A pending interrupt (i.e. waiting for being enabled) will therefore be lost if the clear sequence is
executed.

4.4 POWER SAVING MODES
4.4.1 Introd uct i on
There are three Power Saving modes. Slow Mode
is selected by setting the rele vant bits in the Miscellaneous register. Wait and Halt m odes may b e
entered using the WFI and HALT instructions.
ST72E121 ST72T121
Figure 16. WAIT Flow Chart
WFI INSTRUCTION
4.4.2 Slow Mode
In Slow mode, the oscillator frequency can be d ivided by a value defined in the Miscellaneous
Register. The CPU and peripherals are clocked at
this lower frequency. Slow mode is used to reduce
power consumption, and enables the user to adapt
clock frequency to available supply voltage.
4.4.3 Wait Mode
Wait mode places the M CU in a low power consumption mode by stopping the CPU. All peripherals remain active. During Wait mode, th e I bit (CC
Register) is cleared, so as to enable all interrupts.
All other registers and memory remain unchanged.
The MCU w ill remain in Wait mode u ntil an Inte rrupt or Reset occurs, whereupon the Program
Counter branches to the starting address of the Interrupt or Reset Service Routine.
The MCU will remain in Wait mode until a Reset or
an Interrupt occurs, causing it to wake up.

4.4.4 Halt Mode
The Halt mode is the MCU lowest power consumption mode. The Halt mode is entered by executing the HALT instruction. The internal oscillator
is then turned off, causing all internal processing to
be stopped, including the operation of the on-chip
peripherals. The Halt mode cannot be used whe n
the watchdog is enabled, if the HALT instruction is
executed while the watchdog system is enabled, a
watchdog reset is generated thus resetting the entire MCU.
When entering Halt mode, the I bit in the CC Register is cleared so as to enable External Interrupts.
If an interrupt occurs, the CPU becomes active.
The MCU can exit the Halt mode upon reception of
an interrupt or a reset. Refer t o the I nterrupt M apping Table. The oscillator is then turned on and a
stabilization time is provided before releasing CPU
operation. The stabilization time is 4096 CPU clock
cycles.
After the start up delay, the CPU continues operation by servicing the interrupt which wakes it up or
by fetching the reset vector if a reset wakes it up.

5 ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
5.1 I/O PORTS
5.1.1 Introd uction
The I/O ports offer different functional modes:
– transfer of data through digital inputs and outputs
and for specific pins:
– an alog signal input (ADC)
– alterna te signal input/output for the on-chip pe-
ripherals.
– external interrupt generat ion
An I/O port is composed of up to 8 pins. Each pin
can be programmed independently as digital input
(with or without interrupt generation) or digital output.
5.1.2 Functional Description
Each port is associated to 2 main registers:
– Data Register (DR)
– Data Direction Register (DDR)
and some of them to an optional register:
– Option Register (OR)
Each I/O pin may be programmed using the corre-
sponding register bits in DDR and OR registers: bit
X corresponding to pin X of the port. The same correspondence is used for the DR register.
The following description takes into account the
OR register, for specific ports which do not provide
this register refer to the I/O Port Implementation
Section 5.1.3. The generic I/O block diagram is
shown on Figure 19.
5.1.2.1 Input Modes
The input configuration is sele cted by clearing the
corresponding DDR register bit.
In this case, reading the DR register returns the
digital value applied to the external I/O pin.
Different input modes can be selected by software
through the OR register.
Notes:
1. All the inputs are triggered by a Schmitt trigger.
2. When switching from input mode to output
mode, the DR register should be written first to
output the correct value as soon as the port is configured as an output.
Interrupt function
When an I/O is configured in Input with Interrupt,
an event on thi s I/O can generat e an external Interrupt request to the CPU. The interrupt polarity is
given independently according to the description
mentioned in the Miscellaneous regi ster or in the
interrupt register (where available).
Each pin can independently generate an Interrupt
request.
Each external interrupt vector is linked t o a dedicated group of I/O port pins (see Interrupts section). If several input pins are configured as inputs
to the same interrupt vector, their sign als are logically ANDed before entering the edge/level detection block. For this reason if one of the interrupt
pins is tied low, it masks the other ones.
5.1.2.2 Output Mode
The pin is configured in output mode by setting the
corresponding DDR register bit.
In this mode, writing “0” or “1” to the DR register
applies this digital value to the I/O pin through the
latch. Then reading the DR register returns the
previously stored value.
Note: In this mode, the interrupt function is disabled.
5.1.2.3 Digital Alternate Function
When an on-chip peripheral is configured to use a
pin, the alternate function is au tomatically selected. This alternate function takes priority over
standard I/O programming. When the signal is
coming from an on-chip peripheral, the I/O pin is
automatically configured in output mode (push-pull
or open drain according to the peripheral).
When the signal is goi ng to an on-chip peripheral,
the I/O pin ha s to be configured in i nput mode. In
this case, the pin’s state is a lso digitally readable
by addressing the DR register.
Notes:
1. Input pull-up configuration can cause an unex pected value at the input of the alternate peripheral input.
2. When the on-chip peripheral uses a pin as input
and output, this pin must be configured as an input
(DDR = 0).
Warning
vated as long as the pin is configured as input with
interrupt, in order to avoid generating spurious interrupts.

5.1.2.4 Analog Alternate Function
When the pin is used as an ADC input the I/O must
be configured as input, floating. The analog multiplexer (controlled by the ADC registers) switches
the analog voltage present o n the selected pin to
the common ana log rail which i s c onnect ed to the
ADC input.
It is recommended not to change the voltage level
or loading on any port pin while conversion is in
progress. Furthermore it i s recommended not to
have clocking pins located close t o a sele cted analog pin.
Warning
within the limits stated in the Absolute M aximum
Ratings.

5.1.3 I/O Port Implementation
The hardware implementation on each I/O port depends on the settings in the DDR and OR registers
and specific feature of the I/O port such as ADC Input (see Figure 19) or true open drain. Switching
these I/O ports from one state to an other should
be done in a sequence that prevents unwanted
side effects. Recommended safe transitions are illustrated in Figure 18. Other transitions are potentially risky and should be avoided, since they are
likely to present unwanted side-effects such as
spurious interrupt generation.

5.3 16-BIT TIMER
ST72E121 ST72T121
5.3.1 Introd uction
The timer consists of a 16-bit free-running counter
driven by a programmable prescaler.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including
measuring the pulse lengths of up to two input signals (
input capture
waveforms (
) or generating up to two output
output compare
and
PWM
).
Pulse lengths and waveform perio ds c an be m odulated from a few microseconds to several milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the CPU
clock prescaler.
Some ST7 devices have two on-chip 16-bit timers.
They are completely independent, and do not
share any resources. They are synchronized a fter
a MCU reset as long as the timer clock frequencies are not modified.
This description covers one or two 16-bit timers. In
ST7 devices with two timers, regi ster names are
prefixed with TA (Timer A) or TB (Timer B).
5.3.2 Main Features
■ Programmable prescaler: f
■ Overflow status flag and maskable interrupt
■ External clock inpu t (must be at le ast 4 times
■ 5 alternate functions on I/O ports (ICAP1, ICAP2,
OCMP1, OCMP2, EXTCLK)*
5.3.3 Functional Description
5.3.3.1 Counter
The main block of the Programmab le Timer is a
16-bit free running upcounter and its associated
16-bit registers. The 16-bit registers are made up
of two 8-bit registers called high & low.
Counter Register (CR):
– Counter High Register (CHR) is the most sig-
nific a nt byte (MS Byte).
– Counter Low Register (CLR) is the least sig-
nificant byte (LS Byte).
Alternate Counter Register (ACR)
– Alternate Count er Hi gh Regi ster ( ACHR) is th e
most significant byte (MS Byte).
– Alternate Counter Low Register (ACLR) is the
least significant byt e (LS Byte).
These two read-only 16-bit registers contain the
same value but with the difference that reading the
ACLR register does not clear the TOF bit (Timer
overflow flag), located in the Stat us register (SR).
(See note at the end of paragraph titled 16-bit read
sequence).
Writing in the CLR register or ACLR register resets
the free running counter to the FFFCh value.
Both counters have a reset value of FFFCh (this is
the only value which is reloaded in the 16-bit timer). The reset value of both counters is also
FFFCh in One Pulse mode and PWM mode.
The timer clock depends on the cloc k control bits
of the CR2 register, as illustrated in T able 14. The
value in the counter register repeats every
131072, 262144 or 524288 CPU clock cycles depending on the CC[1:0] bits.
The timer frequency c an be f

The Block Diagram is shown in Figure 21.*Note: Some timer pins m ay not be av ai lable (not
bonded) in some ST7 devices. Refer to the device
pin out description.
When reading an input signal on a non-bonded
pin, the value will always be ‘1’.

The user must read the MS Byte f irst, then the LS

This buffered value rem ains unchanged until the
16-bit read sequence is completed, even if the
user reads the MS Byte several times.
After a complete reading sequence, if only the
CLR register or ACLR register are read, they return the LS Byte of the count value at the time of
the read.
Whatever the timer mode used (input capture, output compare, One Pulse mo de or P WM m ode) an
overflow occurs when the counter rolls over from
FFFFh to 0000h then:
– The TOF bit of the SR register is set.
– A timer interrupt is generated if:
– TOIE bit of the CR1 register is set and
– I bit of the CC register is cleared.
If one of these cond itions is false, the interrupt remains pending to be issued as soon as they are
both true.
ST72E121 ST72T121
Clearing the overflow interrupt request is done in
two steps:
1.Reading the SR register while the TOF bit is set.
2.An access (read or write) to the CLR register.
Note: The TOF bit is not cleared by accessing the
ACLR register. The advantage of accessing the
ACLR register rather than the CLR register is that
it allows simultaneous use of the overflow function
and reading the free running counter at random
times (for example, to measure elapsed time) without the risk of clearing the TOF bit erroneously.
The timer is not affected by WAIT mode.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until the
mode is exited. Count ing then resumes from the
previous count (MCU awakened by an interrupt) or
from the reset count (MCU awakened by a Reset).
5.3.3.2 External Clock
The external clock (wh ere available) is selected if
CC0=1 and CC1=1 in the CR2 register.
The status of the EXEDG bit in the CR2 register
determines the type of level transition on the external clock pin EXTCLK that will trigger the free running counter.
The counter is synchronised with t he falling edge
of the internal CPU clock.
A minimum of four falling edges of the CPU clock
must occur between two consecutive active edges
of the external clock; thus the external clock frequency must be less than a quarter of the CPU
clock frequency.

5.3.3.5 One Pulse Mode
One Pulse mode enables the generation of a
pulse when an external event occurs. This mode is
selected via the OPM bit in the CR2 register.
The One Pulse mode uses the Input Capture1
function and the Output Compare1 function.
Procedure:
To use One Pulse mode:
1. Load the OC1R register with the value corresponding to the length of the pulse (see the formula in the opposite column).
2. Select the following in the CR1 register:
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after the pulse.
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin during the pulse.
– Select the edge of the a ctive trans ition o n th e
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit
must be configured as floating input).
3. Select the following in the CR2 register:
– Set the OC1E bit, the OCMP1 pin is then ded-
icated to the Output Compare 1 function.
– Set the OPM bit.
– Select the timer clock CC[1:0] (see Table 14).

Then, on a valid event on the ICAP1 pin, the counter is initialized to FFFCh and the OLVL2 bit is
loaded on the OCMP1 pin, th e ICF1 bit is set and
the value FFFDh is loaded in the IC1R register.
Because the ICF1 bit is set when an active edge
occurs, an interrupt can be generated if the ICIE
bit is set.
Notes:
1. The OCF1 bit cannot be set by hardware in
One Pulse mode but the OCF2 bit can generate
an Output Compare interrupt.
2. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM ) and
One Pulse mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.
3. If OLVL1=OLVL2 a continuous signal will be
seen on the OCMP1 pin.
4. The ICAP1 pin can not be used to perform input
capture. The ICAP2 pin can be used t o perfo rm
input capture (ICF2 can be set and IC2R can be
loaded) but the user must take care that the
counter is reset each time a valid edge o ccurs
on the ICAP1 pin and ICF1 can also generates
interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When One P ulse mode is used OC1R is dedicated to this mode. Nevertheless OC2R and
OCF2 can be used to indicate that a period of
time has elapsed but cannot generate an output
waveform because the OLVL2 level is dedicated to One Pulse mode.

5.3.3.6 Pulse Width Modulation Mode
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode enables the
generation of a signal wi th a frequency a nd pul se
length determined by the value of the OC1R and
OC2R registers.
The Pulse Width Modulation mode uses the com plete Output Compare 1 funct ion plus the OC2R
register, and so these functions cannot be used
when the PWM mode is activated.
Procedure
To use Pulse Width Modulation mode:
1. Load the OC2R register with the value corresponding to the period of the signal using the
formula in the opposite column.
2. Load the OC1R register with the value corresponding to the period of the p ulse i f OLVL1= 0
and OLVL2=1, using the formula in the opposite column.
3. Select the following in the CR1 register:
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with OC1R register.
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with OC2R register.
4. Select the following in the CR2 register:
– Set OC1E bit: the OCMP1 pin is then dedicat-
ed to the output compare 1 function.
– Set the PWM bit.
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table
14).
If OLVL1=1 and O LVL2=0, t he length of t he pos itive pulse is the difference between the OC2R and
OC1R registers.
If OLVL1=OLVL2 a c ontinuous s ign al will be seen
on the OCMP1 pin.

2. The OCF1 and OCF2 bits cannot be set by

3. The ICF1 bit is set by hardware when the coun-
ter reaches the OC2R value and can produce a
timer interrupt if the ICIE bit is set and the I bit is
cleared.
4. In PWM mode the ICAP1 pin c an not be used
to perform input capture because it is disconnected from the timer. The ICAP2 pin can be
used to perform input capture (ICF2 can be set
and IC2R can be loaded) but the user must
take care that the counter is reset after each
period and ICF1 can also ge nerate an interrupt
if ICIE is set.
5. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM ) and
One Pulse mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.

The Serial Communications Interface (SCI) offers
a flexible means of full-duplex data exchange with
external equipment requiring an indust ry stand ard
NRZ asynchronous serial data format. The SCI offers a very wide range of baud rates using two
baud rate generator systems.
5.4.2 Main Features
■ Full duplex, asynchronous communi cations
■ NRZ standard format (Mark/Space)
■ Dual baud rate generator systems
■ Independently programmable transmit and
receive baud rates up to 250K baud.
■ Programmable data word length (8 or 9 bits)
■ Receive buffer full, Transmit buffer empty and
End of Transmission flags
■ Two receiver wake-up modes:
– Address bit (MSB)
– Idle line
■ Muting function for multiprocessor configurations
■ Separate enable bits for Transmitter and
Receiver
■ Three error detection flags:
– Overrun error
– Noise error
– Frame error
■ Five interrupt sources with flags:
– Transmit data register empty
– Transmission complete
– Receive data register full
– Idle line received
– Overrun error detected
5.4.3 General Description
The interface is externally connected to another
device by two pins (see Figure 33):
– TDO: Transmit Data Output. When the transmit-
ter is disabled, the output pin returns to its I/O
port configuration. When the transmitter is enabled and nothing is to be transmitted, the TDO
pin is at high level.
– RDI: Receive Data Input is the serial data input.
Oversampling techniques are used for data recovery by discriminating between valid incoming
data and noise.
Through this pins, serial data is transmitted and received as frames comprising:
– An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception
– A start bit
– A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first
– A Stop bit indicating that the frame is complete.
This interface uses two types of baud rate generator:
– A conventional type for commonly-use d baud
rates,
– An extended type with a prescaler offering a very
wide range of baud rates even with non-standard
oscillator frequencies.

5.4.4 Functional Description
The block diagram of the S erial Control Interface,
is shown in Figure 32. It contains 6 dedicated reg-
isters:
– Two control registers (CR1 & CR2)
– A status register (SR)
– A baud rate register (BRR)
– An extended pres caler receiver register (ERPR)
– An extended prescaler transmitter register (ETPR)
Refer to the register descriptions in Section
5.4.7for the definitions of each bit.
Figure 33. Word length programming
ST72E121 ST72T121
5.4.4.1 Serial Data Format
Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9
bits by programming the M bit in the CR1 register
(see Figure 32).
The TDO pin is in low state during the start bit.
The TDO pin is in high state during the stop bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame
of “1”s followed by t he start bit of the n ext frame
which contains data.
A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s
for some multiple of the frame period. At the end of
the last break frame the transm itter inserts an extra “1” bit to acknowledge the start bit.
Transmission and reception are driven by their
own baud rate generator.

5.4.4.2 Transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or
9 bits depending on the M bit status. W hen the M
bit is set, word length is 9 bits and the 9th bit (the
MSB) has to be stored in the T8 bit in the CR1 register.
Character Transmission
During an SCI transmission, data shifts out least
significant bit first on t he TDO pin. In this m ode,
the DR register consists of a buffer (TDR) between
the internal bus and the transmit shift register (see
Figure 32).
Procedure
– Sele ct the M bit to define the word length.
– Select the desired baud rate using the BRR and
the ETPR registers.
– Set the TE bit to assign the TDO pin to the alter-
nate function and to send a idle frame as first
transmission.
– Acc ess the SR register and write the data to
send in the DR register (this sequence clears the
TDRE bit). Repeat this sequence for each data to
be transmitted.
Clearing the TDRE bit is a lways perf ormed by the
following software sequence:
1. An access to the SR register
2. A write to the DR register
The TDRE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
– The TDR register is empty.
– The dat a transfer is beginning.
– The next data can be written in the DR register
without overwriting the previous data.
This flag generates an interrupt if the TIE bit is set
and the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
When a transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the DR register stores the data in the
TDR register and which is copied in the shift register at the end of the current transmission.
When no transmission is ta king place, a write instruction to the DR register places the data directly
in the shift register, the data transmission starts,
and the TDRE bit is immediately set.
When a frame trans mission is com plete (after the
stop bit or after the break frame) the TC bit is set
and an interrupt is generated if the TCIE is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
Clearing the TC bit is pe rformed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SR register
2. A write to the DR register
Note: The TDRE and TC bits are cleared by the
same software sequence.
Break Characters
Setting the SBK bit loads the shift register with a
break character. The break frame length depends
on the M bit (see Figure 33).
As long as the SBK bit is set, the SCI send break
frames to the T DO pin. After clearing this bit by
software the SCI insert a logic 1 bit at the end of
the last break frame to guarantee the recognition
of the start bit of the next frame.
Idle Characters
Setting the TE bit drives the SCI t o send an idle
frame before the first data frame.
Clearing and then setting the TE bit during a transmission sends an idle frame after the current word.
Note: Resetting and setting t he TE bit causes t he
data in the TDR register to be lost . Therefore the
best time to toggle the TE bit is when the TDRE bit
is set i.e. before writing the next byte in the DR.

5.4.4.3 Receiver
The SCI can receive data words of either 8 or 9
bits. When the M bit i s set, word length is 9 bits
and the MSB is stored in the R8 bit in the CR1 register.
Character reception
During a SCI reception, data shifts in least significant bit first through the RDI pin. In this mode, DR
register consists in a buffer (RDR) between the internal bus and the received shift register (see Fig-
ure 32).
Procedure
– Sele ct the M bit to define the word length.
– Select the desired baud rate using the BRR and
the ERPR registe r s.
– Set the RE bit, this enables the receiver which
begins searching for a start bit.
When a character is received:
– The RDRF bit is set. It indicates that the content
of the shift register is transferred to the RDR.
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
– The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise
or an overrun error has been detected during re-
ception.
Clearing the RDRF bit is performed by the following
software sequence done by:
1. An access to the SR register
2. A read to the DR register.
The RDRF bit must be cleared before the end of t he
reception of the next character to avoid an overrun
error.
Break Character
When a break charact er is rec eived, t he S CI handles it as a framing error.
Idle Character
When a idle frame is detected, there is the same
procedure as a data received character plus an interrupt if the ILIE bit is set and the I bit is cleared in
the CCR register.
ST72E121 ST72T121
Overrun Error
An overrun error occurs when a character is received when RDRF has not been reset. Data can
not be transferred from the shift register to the
TDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not
cleared.
When a overrun error occurs:
– The OR bit is set.
– The RDR content will not be lost.
– The shift register will be overwritten.
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
The OR bit is reset by an access to the SR register
followed by a DR register read operation.
Noise Error
Oversampling techniques are used for data recovery by discriminating between v alid inc oming dat a
and noise.
When noise is detected in a frame:
– The NF is set at the rising edge of the RDRF bit.
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
DR register.
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The NF bit is reset by a SR register read operation
followed by a DR register read operation.
Framing E rror
A framing error is detected when:
– The stop bit is not recognized on reception at the
expected time, following either a de-synchroni-
zation or excessive noise.
– A break is received.
When the framing error is detected:
– the FE bit is set by hardware
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
DR register.
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The FE bit is reset by a SR register read operation
followed by a DR register read operation.

All this bits are in the BRR register.

PR=13 and TR=RR=1, the transmit and receive
baud rates are 19200 baud.
Note: the baud rate registers MUST NOT be
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is enabled.
5.4.4.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation
The extended prescaler option gives a very fine
tuning on the baud rate, using a 255 value prescaler, whereas the conventional Baud Rate Generator retains industry standard software compatibility.
The extended baud rat e generator block diagram
is described in the Figure 34.
The output clock rate sent to the transmitter or to
the receiver will be the output from the 16 divider
divided by a factor ranging from 1 to 255 set in the
ERPR or the ETPR register.
Note: the extended prescaler is activated by setting the ETPR or ERPR register to a value other

5.4.4.6 Receiver Muting and Wake-up Feature
In multiprocessor configurations it is often des irable that only the intended message recipient
should actively receive the f ull me ssag e cont ents,
thus reducing redundant SCI service overhead for
all non addressed receivers.
The non addressed devices may be placed in
sleep mode by means of the muting function.
Setting the RWU b it by software puts the SCI in
sleep mode:
All the reception status bits can not be set.
All the receive interrupt are inhibited.
A muted receiver may be awakened by one of the
following two ways:
– by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,
– by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.
Receiver wakes-up by Idle Line detection when
the Receive line has recognised an Idle Frame.
Then the RWU bit is reset by hardware but the
IDLE bit is not set.
Receiver wakes-up by Address Mark detection
when it received a “1” as the most significant bit of
a word, thus indicating that the message is an address. The reception of this particular word wakes
up the receiver, resets the RW U bit and sets the
RDRF bit, which allows the receiver to receiv e thi s
word normally and to use it as an address word.

5.5 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
ST72E121 ST72T121
5.5.1 Introd uction
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows fullduplex, synchronous, serial communication with
external devices. An SPI system may consist of a
master and one or more slaves or a system in
which devices may be either masters or slaves.
The SPI is normally us ed for communication between the microcontroller and external peripherals
or another microcontroller.
Refer to the Pin Description chapter for the devicespecific pin-out.
5.5.2 Main Features
■ Full duplex, three-wire synchronous transfers
■ Master or slave operation
■ Four master mode frequencies
■ Maximum slave mode frequency = fCPU/2.
■ Four programmable master bit rates
■ Programmable clock polarity and phase
■ End of transfer interrupt flag
■ Write collision flag protection
■ Master mode fault protection capability.
5.5.3 General description
The SPI is connect ed to external d evices through
4 alternate pins:
– MISO: Master In Slave Out pin
– MOSI: Master Out Slave In pin
– SCK: Serial Clock pin
–SS
: Slave select pin
A basic example of interconnections between a
single master and a single slave is illustrated on
Figure 35.
The MOSI pins are connected together as are
MISO pins. In this way data is transferred serially
between master and slave (most significant bit
first).
When the master device transmits data t o a s lave
device via MOSI pin, the slave device responds by
sending data to the master device via the MISO
pin. This implies full duplex transmission with both
data out and data in synchronized with the same
clock signal (which is prov ided by the m aster device via the SCK pin).
Thus, the byte transmitted is replaced by the byte
received and eliminates the need for separate
transmit-empty and recei ve r-full bits. A s tatus f lag
is used to indicate that the I/O operation is complete.
Four possible data/clock timing relationship s may
be chosen (s ee Figure 38) but m aster and slave
must be programmed with the same timing mode.

5.5.4 Functional Description
Figure 35 shows the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) block diagram.
This interface contains 3 dedicated registers:
– A Control Register (CR)
– A Status Register (SR)
– A Data Register (DR)
Refer to the CR, SR and DR registers in Section
5.5.7for the bit definitions.
ST72E121 ST72T121
In this configuration t he M OSI pin is a data output
and to the MISO pin is a data input.
Transmit sequence
The transmit sequence begins when a byte is written the DR register.
The data byte is parallel loaded into the 8-bit shift
register (from th e i nte rna l bus) during a write cycl e
and then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin most
significant bit first.
5.5.4.1 Master Configuration
In a master configuration, the serial clock is generated on the SCK pin.
Procedure
– Select the SPR0 & SPR1 bits to define the se-
rial clock baud rate (see CR register).
– Select the CPOL and CPHA bits to define one
of the four relationships between the data
transfer and the serial clock (see Figure 38).
–The SS
pin must be connected to a high level
signal during the complete byte tran smit sequence.
– The MSTR and SPE bits must be set (they re-
main set only if the SS
pin is connected to a
high level signal).
When data transfer is complete:
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware
– An interrupt is generated if the SPIE bit is set
and the I bit in the CCR register is cleared.
During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is set, a
copy of the data byte received in the shift register
is moved to a buffer. When the DR register is read,
the SPI peripheral returns this buffered value.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SR registe r while the SPIF bit
is set
2. A read to the DR register.
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the DR
register are inhibited until the SR register is read.

5.5.4.2 Slave Configuration
In slave configuration, the serial clock is received
on the SCK pin from the master device.
The value of the SPR0 & SPR1 bits is not used for
the data transfer.
Procedure
– For correct data transfer, the slave device
must be in the same timing mode as the master device (CPOL and CPHA bits). See Figure
38.
–The SS
signal during the complete byte tran smit sequence.
– Clear the MSTR bit and set the SPE bit to as-
sign the pins to alternate function.
In this configuration the MOSI pin is a data input
and the MISO pin is a data output.
Transmit Sequence
The data byte is parallel loaded into the 8-bit shift
register (from the internal bus) during a write cycle
and then shifted out serial ly t o the M ISO pi n m os t
significant bit first.
The transmit sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the most significant bit of the data on its MOSI pin.
pin must be conne cted to a lo w level
When data transfer is complete:
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware
– An interrupt is generated if SPIE bit is set and
I bit in CCR register is cleared.
During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is set, a
copy of the data byte received in the shift register
is moved to a buffer. When the DR register is read,
the SPI peripheral returns this buffered value.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SR registe r while the SPIF bit
is set.
2.A read to the DR register.
Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
DR register are inhibited until the SR register is
read.
The SPIF bit can be cleared during a second
transmission; however, it must be cleared before
the second SPIF bit in order to prevent an overrun
condition (see Section 5.5.4.6).
Depending on the CPHA bi t, the S S
pin has to be
set to write to the DR regi ster between ea ch data
byte transfer to avoid a write collision (see Section
5.5.4.4).

5.5.4.3 Data Transfer Format
During an SPI transfer, data is simultaneously
transmitted (shifted out serially) and received
(shifted in serially). The serial clock is used to synchronize the data transfer during a sequence of
eight clock pulses.
The SS
pin allows individual selection of a slave
device; the other slave devices that are not selected do not interfere with the SPI transfer.
Clock Phase and Clock Polarity
Four possible timing relationships may be chose n
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits.
The CPOL (clock polarity) bit cont rols the steady
state value of the clock when no data is being
transferred. This bit affects both m as ter and sl av e
modes.
The combination between the CPOL and CPHA
(clock phase) bits selects the data capture clock
edge.
Figure 38, shows an SPI transfer with the four
combinations of the CPHA and CPOL bits. The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave
timing diagram where the SCK pin, the MISO pin,
the MOSI pin are directly connected between th e
master and the slave device.
The SS
pin is the slave device select input and can
be driven by the master device.
ST72E121 ST72T121
The master device applies data to its MOSI pinclock edge before the capture clock edge.
CPHA bit is set
The second edge on the SCK pin (falling edg e if
the CPOL bit is reset, rising edge if the CPOL bit is
set) is the MSBit capture strobe. Data is latched on
the occurrence of the second clock transition.
No write collision should occur even if the SS
stays low during a transfer of s everal bytes (see
Figure 37).
CPHA bit is reset
The first edge on the SCK pin (falling edge if CPOL
bit is set, rising ed ge if CPOL bit is reset ) is the
MSBit capture strobe. Data is latched on the oc currence of the first clock transition.
The SS
pin must be toggled high and low between
each byte transmitted (see Figure 37).
To protect the transmission from a write collision a
low value on the SS
pin of a slave device freezes
the data in its DR register and does not allow it to
be altered. Therefore the SS
pin must be high to
write a new data byte in the DR without producing
a write coll is ion .

5.5.4.4 Write Collision Error
A write collision occurs when the software tries to
write to the DR register while a data transfer is taking place with an external dev ice. When t his happens, the transfer continues uninterrupted; and
the software w rit e w ill be uns u c c es s ful.
Write collisions can occur both in master and slave
mode.
Note: a "read collision" will never occur since the
received data byte is placed in a buffer in which
access is always synchronous with the MCU operation.
In Slave mode
When the CPHA bit is set:
The slav e device will re ceive a clock (S CK) ed ge
prior to the latch of the first data transfer. This first
clock edge will freeze t he d ata in the slave device
DR register and output the MSBit on to the external MISO pin of the slave device.
The SS
pin low state enables the slave device but
the output of the MSBit onto the MISO pin does
not take place until the first data transfer clock
edge.
ST72E121 ST72T121
When the CPHA bit is reset:
Data is latched on the occurrence of the first clock
transition. The slave device does not have any
way of knowing when that transition will occur;
therefore, the slave device collision occurs when
software attempts to write the DR register after its
pin has been pulled low.

in the DR register without generating a write collision.
In Master mode
Collision in the master device is defined as a write
of the DR register while the internal serial clock
(SCK) is in the process of transfer.
The SS
pin signal must be always high on the
master device.
WCOL bit
The WCOL bit in the SR register is set if a write
collision occurs.
No SPI interrupt is generated when the WCOL bit
is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only).
Clearing the WCOL bit is done through a software

Hardware does not allow the user to set the SPE
and MSTR bits while the MODF bit is set except in
the MODF bit clearing sequence.
In a slave device the MODF bit can not be set, but
in a multi master configuration the device can be in
slave mode with this MODF bit set.
The MODF bit indicates that there might have
been a multi-master conflict for system control and
allows a proper exit from system operation to a reset or default system state using an interrupt routine.
Clearing the MODF bit is done through a software
sequence:
1. A read or write access to the SR register while
the MODF bit is set.
2. A write to the CR register.
Notes: To avoid any multiple slave conflicts in the
case of a system comprising several MCUs, the
SS
pin must be pulled high during the clearing se-
quence of the MODF bit. The SPE and MSTR bits
5.5.4.6 Overrun Condition
An overrun condition occurs w hen the mas ter device has sent several data bytes and the slave device has not cleared the S PIF bit issuing from the
previous data byte transmitted.
In this case, the rec eiver buffer contains the b yte
sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read to
the DR register returns this byte. All other bytes
are lost.
This condition is not detected by the SPI peripheral.

5.5.4.7 Single Master and Multimaster Configura tions
There are two types of SPI systems:
– Single Master Syste m
– Multimaster System
For more security, the slave device may respond
to the master with the received data byte. Then the
master will receive the previous byte back from the
slave device if all MISO and MOSI pins are connected and the slave has not written its DR regis-
Single Master System
A typical single master system may be configured,
using an MCU as the master and four MCUs as
slaves (see Figure 40).

Other transmission security methods can use
ports for handshake lines or data by tes with command fields.
Multi-master System
A multi-master system may al so be configured by
the user. Transfer of master control could be implemented using a handshake method through the
I/O ports or by an exchange of code messages
through the serial peripheral interface system.
The multi-master system is principally handled by

6 INSTRUCTION SET
6.1 ST7 ADDRESSING MODES
The ST7 Core features 17 different addressing
modes which can be classified in 7 main groups:
cause it can use the full 64 Kbyte address space,
however it uses more bytes and more CPU cycles.
– Short addressing mode is less powerful because
it can generally only access page zero (0000h 00FFh range), but the instruction size is more
compact, and faster. All memory to memory instructions use short addressing modes only
(CLR, CPL, NEG, BSET, BRES, BTJT, BTJF,
INC, DEC, RLC, RRC, SLL, SRL, SRA, SWAP)
The ST7 Assembler optimizes the use of long and
short addressing modes.
The ST7 Instruction set is designed to minimize
the number of bytes required per instruction: To do
In Direct instructions, the operands are referenced
by their memory address.
The direct addressing m ode consists of two sub-
modes:
Direct (short)
The address is a byte, thus requires only one byte
after the opcode, but only allows 00 - FF address-
ing space.
Direct (lon g)
The address is a word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte ad-
dressing space, but requires 2 bytes after the op-
code.
6.1.4 Indexed (No Offset, Short, Long)
In this mode, the operand is referenced by its
memory address, which is defined by the unsigned
addition of an index register (X or Y) with an offset.
The indirect addressing mode consists of three
sub-modes:
Indexed (No Offset)
There is no offset, (no extra byte after the opcode),
and allows 00 - FF addressing space.
Indexed (Short)
The offset is a byte, thus requires only one byte af-
ter the opcode and allows 00 - 1FE addressing
space.
Indexed (long)
The offset is a word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte ad-
dressing space and requires 2 byt es after the op-
code.
6.1.5 Indirect (Short, Long)
The required data byte to do the operation is found
by its memory address, located in memory (point-
er).
The pointer address follows th e op co de. Th e i ndi-
rect addressing mode consists of two sub-modes:
Indirect (short)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
byte, thus allowing 00 - FF addressing space, and
requires 1 byte after the opcode.
Indirect (lon g)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte addressing space,
and requires 1 byte after the opcode.

7 ELECTRICAL CH ARACTERISTI CS
7.1 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
This product contains devices to protect the inputs
against damage due to high static voltages , however it is advisable to take normal precaution to
avoid application of any voltage higher than the
specified maximum rated voltages.
For proper operation it is recommended that V
and VO be higher t han VSS and lower than VDD.
Reliability is enhanc ed if unused inputs are connected to an appropriate logic vol tage level (V
or VSS).

EPROM version devices are erased by exposure
to high intensity UV light admitted through the
transparent window. This exposure discharges the
floating gate to its initial state through induced
photo current.
It is recommended that the EPROM devices be
kept out of direct sunlight, since the UV content of
sunlight can be sufficient to cause functional failure. Extended exposure t o room level fluorescent
lighting may also cause erasure.
An opaque coating (paint, tape, label, etc...)
should be placed over the package window if the
product is to be operated under these lighting conditions. Covering the window also reduces I
DD
in
power-saving modes du e to photo-diode leakage
currents.
An Ultraviolet source of wave length 2537 Å yielding a total integrated dosage of 15 Watt-sec/cm
2
is
required to erase the device. It will be erased in 15
to 20 minutes if such a UV lamp with a 12mW/cm
power rating is placed 1 inch from the device window without any interposed filters.
Each device is available for production in user programmable version (OTP). OTP devices are
shipped to customer with a default blank content
maximum memory size and peripherals of the
family. Care must be taken to only use resources
available on the target device.

debugging and prototyping which features the
