Functional Description
Execution Flow
The system clock for the MCU is derived from either a
crystal or an RC oscillator. The system clock is internally
divided into four non-overlapping clocks. One instruc
tion cycle consists of four system clock cycles.
Instruction fetching and execution are pipelined in such
a way that a fetch takes an instruction cycle while de
coding and execution takes the next instruction cycle.
However, the pipelining scheme causes each instruc
tion to effectively execute in a cycle. If an instruction
changes theprogram counter, two cycles are required to
complete the instruction.
Program Counter - PC
The program counter (PC) controls the sequence in
which the instructions stored in the program ROM are
executed and its contents specify a full range of pro
gram memory.
After accessing a program memory word to fetch an in
struction code, the contents of the program counter are
S y s t e m C l o c k
T 1T 2T 3T 4T 1T 2T 3T 4T 1T 2T 3T 4
incremented byone. The program counter then points to
the memory word containing the next instruction code.
When executing a jump instruction, conditional skip ex
ecution, loading register, subroutine call or return from
subroutine, initial reset, internal interrupt, external inter
rupt or return from interrupts, the PC manipulates the
program transfer by loading the address corresponding
to each instruction.
The conditional skip is activated by instructions. Once
the condition is met, the next instruction, fetched during
the current instruction execution, is discarded and a
dummy cycle replaces it to get the proper instruction.
Otherwise proceed to the next instruction.
The lower byte of the program counter (PCL) is a read
able and writeable register (06H). Moving data into the
PCL performs a short jump. The destination will be
-
within the current program ROM page.
When a control transfer takes place, an additional
-
dummy cycle is required.

Program Memory - ROM
The program memory is used to store the program in
structions which are to be executed. It also contains
data, table, and interrupt entries, and is organized into
8192´16 bits´3 banks, addressed by the program coun
ter and table pointer.
Certain locations in the program memory are reserved
for special usage:
·
Location 000H
This area is reserved for program initialization. After
chip reset, the program always begins execution at lo
cation 000H.
·
Location 004H
This area is reserved for the external interrupt service
program. If the INT
input pin is activated, the interrupt
is enabled and the stack is not full, the program begins
execution at location 004H.
·
Location 008H
This areais reserved for the Timer/Event Counter 0 in
terrupt service program. If a timer interrupt results
from a Timer/Event Counter 0 overflow, and if the in
terrupt is enabled and the stack is not full, the program
begins execution at location 008H.
·
Location 00CH
This location is reserved for the Timer/Event Counter
1 interrupt service program. If a timer interrupt results
from a Timer/Event Counter 1 overflow, and the interrupt is enabled and the stack is not full, the program
begins execution at location 00CH.
·
Table location
Any location in the program memory can be used as
look-up tables. The instructions ²TABRDC [m]² (page
specified by TBHP) and ²TABRDL [m]² (the last page)
transfer the contents of the lower-order byte to the
specified data memory, and the higher-order byte to
TBLH(08H). The higher-order byte table pointer
TBHP(1FH) and lower-order byte table pointer TBLP
(07H) are read/write registers, which indicate the table
locations. Before accessing the table, the location has
to be placed in TBHP and TBLP. The TBLH is read
only and cannot be restored. If the main routine and
the ISR (interrupt service routine) both employ the ta
ble read instruction, the contents of TBLH in the main
routine are likely to be changed by the table read in
struction used in the ISR. Errors are thus brought
about. Given this, using the table read instruction in
the main routine and the ISR simultaneously should
be avoided. However, if the table read instruction has
to be applied in both main routine and the ISR, the in

Program memory
TBLH in the main routine has been backup. All table
related instructions require 2 cycles to complete the
operation.
Stack Register - STACK
This is a special part of the memory which is used to
save the contents of the program counter (PC) only. The
stack is organized into 8 levels and is neither part of the
data nor part of the program space, and is neither readable nor writeable. The activated level is indexed by the
stack pointer (SP) and is neither readable nor writeable.
At a subroutine call or interrupt acknowledge signal, the
contents of the program counter are pushed onto the
stack. At the end of a subroutine or an interrupt routine,
signaled by a return instruction (RET or RETI), the pro
gram counter is restored to its previous value from the
stack. After a chip reset, the SP will point to the top of the
stack.
If the stack is full and a non-masked interrupt takes
place, the interrupt request flag will be recorded but the
-
acknowledge signal will be inhibited. When the stack
pointer is decremented (by RET or RETI), the interrupt
will be serviced. This feature prevents stack overflow al
lowing the programmer to use the structure more easily.
In a similar case, if the stack is full and a ²CALL² is sub
sequently executed, stack overflow occurs and the first
entry will be lost (only the most recent 8 return ad
dresses are stored).
Data Memory - RAM
The data memory is designed with 250´8 bits. The
data memory is divided into two functional groups: spe
cial function registers and general purpose data mem
ory (224´8). Most are read/write, but some are read
only.
The special function registers include the indirect ad
dressing registers (R0;00H, R1;02H) bank pointer
(BP;04H), Timer/Event Counter 0 (TMR0;0DH),
Timer/Event Counter 0 control register (TMR0C;0EH),
Timer/Event Counter 1 higher order byte register
(TMR1H;0FH), Timer/Event Counter 1 lower order byte
register (TMR1L;10H), Timer/Event Counter 1 control
register (TMR1C;11H), program counter lower-order
byte register (
(MP0;01H, MP1;03H), accumulator (

pointer (TBLP;07H, TBHP;1FH), table higher-order
byte register (TBLH;08H), status register
(STATUS;0AH), interrupt control register (INTC;0BH),
Watchdog Timer option setting register (WDTS;09H),
I/O registers (PA;12H, PB;14H, PC;16H, PF;1CH, and
I/O control registers (PAC;13H, PBC;15H, PCC;17H,
PFC;1DH). The remaining space before the 20H is reserved for future expanded usage and reading these
locations will get ²00H². The general purpose data
memory, addressed from 20H to FFH, is used for data
and control information under instruction commands.
All of the data memory areas can handle arithmetic,
logic, increment, decrement and rotate operations directly. Except for some dedicated bits, each bit in the
data memory can be set and reset by ²SET [m].i² and
²CLR [m].i². They are also indirectly accessible through
memory pointer registers (MP0 or MP1).

Indirect Addressing Register
RAM mapping
Location 00H and 02H are indirect addressing registers
that are not physically implemented. Any read/write op
eration of [00H] ([02H]) will access data memory pointed
to by MP0 (MP1). Reading location 00H (02H) itself indi
rectly will return the result 00H. Writing indirectly results
in no operation.
The memory pointer registers (MP0 and MP1) are 8-bit
registers.
Accumulator
The accumulator is closely related to ALU operations. It
is also mapped to location of the data memory and can
carry out immediate data operations. The data move
ment between two data memory locations must pass
-
Arithmetic and Logic Unit - ALU
This circuit performs 8-bit arithmetic and logic opera
tions. The ALU provides the following functions:
·
Arithmetic operations (ADD, ADC, SUB, SBC, DAA)
·
Logic operations (AND, OR, XOR, CPL)
·
Increment and decrement (INC, DEC)
·
Rotation (RL, RR, RLC, RRC)
·
Increment and Decrement (INC, DEC)
·
Branch decision (SZ, SNZ, SIZ, SDZ ....)
The ALU not only saves the results of a data operation
but also changes the status register.
through the accumulator.

HT48CA3
Status Register - STATUS
This 8-bit register (0AH) contains the zero flag (Z), carry
flag (C), auxiliary carry flag (AC), overflow flag (OV),
power down flag (PD), and watchdog time-out flag (TO).
It also records the status information and controls the
operation sequence.
With the exception of the TO and PD flags, bits in the
status register can be altered by instructions like
most other registers. Any data written into the status
register will not change the TO or PD flag. In addition
operations related to the status register may give dif
ferent results from those intended. The TO flag can
be affected only by system power-up, a WDT
time-out or executing the ²CLR WDT² or ²HALT² in
struction. The PD flag can be affected only by execut
ing the ²HALT² or ²CLR WDT² instruction or during a
system power-up.
The Z, OV, AC and C flags generally reflect the status of
the latest operations.
In addition, on entering the interrupt sequence or exe
cuting the subroutine call, the status register will not be
pushed onto the stack automatically. If the contents of
the status are important and if the subroutine can cor
rupt the status register, precautions must be taken to
save it properly.
Interrupt
The device provides an external interrupt and internal
timer/event counter interrupts. The Interrupt Control
Register (INTC;0BH) contains the interrupt control bits
to setthe enable/disable and the interrupt request flags.
Once an interrupt subroutine is serviced, all the other interrupts will be blocked (by clearing the EMI bit). This
scheme may prevent any further interrupt nesting. Other
interrupt requests may occur during this interval but only
the interrupt request flag is recorded. If a certain inter
rupt requires servicing within the service routine, the
EMI bit and the corresponding bit of the INTC may be set
to allow interrupt nesting. If the stack is full, the interrupt
request will not be acknowledged, even if the related in
terrupt is enabled, until the SP is decremented. If immedi
ate service is desired, the stack must be prevented from
becoming full.
All these kinds of interrupts have a wake-up capability.
As an interrupt is serviced, a control transfer occurs by
pushing the program counter onto the stack, followed by
a branch to a subroutine at specified location in the pro
gram memory. Only the program counter is pushed onto
the stack. If the contents of the register or status register
(STATUS) are altered by the interrupt service program
which corrupts the desired control sequence, the con
tents should be saved in advance.

External interrupts are triggered by a high to low transi
tion ofthe INT
bit 4 of INTC) will be set. When the interrupt is enabled,
the stack is not full and the external interrupt is active, a
subroutine call to location 04H will occur. The interrupt
request flag (EIF) and EMI bits will be cleared to disable
other interrupts.
The internal Timer/Event Counter 0 interrupt is initial
ized by setting the Timer/Event Counter 0 interrupt re
quest flag (T0F;bit 5 of INTC), caused by a timer 0
overflow. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not
full and the T0F bit is set, a subroutine call to location
08H will occur. The related interrupt request flag (T0F)
will be reset and the EMI bit cleared to disable further interrupts.
The internal Timer/Event Counter 1 interrupt is initialized by setting the Timer/Event Counter 1 interrupt request flag (T1F;bit 6 of INTC), caused by a timer 1
overflow. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not
full and the T1F is set, a subroutine call to location 0CH
will occur. The related interrupt request flag (T1F) will be
reset and the EMI bit cleared to disable further inter
rupts.

During the execution of an interrupt subroutine, other in
terrupt acknowledge signals are held until the ²RETI² in
struction is executed or the EMI bit and the related
interrupt control bit are set to 1 (if the stack is not full). To
return from the interrupt subroutine, ²RET² or ²RETI²
may be invoked. RETI will set the EMI bit to enable an in
terrupt service, but RET will not.
Interrupts, occurring in the interval between the rising
edges of two consecutive T2 pulses, will be serviced on
the latter of the two T2 pulses, if the corresponding inter
rupts are enabled. In the case of simultaneous requests

EEI, ET0I and ET1I are used to control the enabling/dis
abling of interrupts. These bits prevent the requested interrupt from being serviced. Once the interrupt request
flags (T0F, T1F, EIF) are set, they will remain in the INTC
register until the interrupts are serviced or cleared by a
software instruction.
It is recommended that a program does not use the
²CALL subroutine² within the interrupt subroutine. Interrupts often occur in an unpredictable manner or
need to be serviced immediately in some applications.
If only one stack is left and enabling the interrupt is not
well controlled, the original control sequence will be dam
aged once the ²CALL² operates in the interrupt subrou
tine.

System oscillator
There are 2 oscillator circuits implemented in the mi
cro-controller.
Both of them are designed for system clocks, namely
the RC oscillator and the crystal oscillator, which are de
termined by options. No matter what oscillator type is
selected, the signal provides the system clock. The
HALT mode stops the system oscillator and resists the
external signal to conserve power.
If an RC oscillator is used, an external resistor between
OSC1 and VSS is required and the resistance should
range from 100kW to 820kW. The system clock, divided
by 4, is available on OSC2, which can be used to syn
chronize external logic. The internal RC oscillator pro
vides the most cost effective solution. However, the
frequency of oscillation may vary with VDD, temperatures and the chip itself due to process variations. It is,
therefore, not suitable for timing sensitive operations
where an accurate oscillator frequency is desired.
If the crystal oscillator is used, a crystal across OSC1
and OSC2 is needed to provide the feedback and phase
shift required for the oscillator, and no other external
components are demanded. Instead of a crystal, the
resonator can also be connected between OSC1 and
OSC2 to get a frequency reference, but two external ca
pacitors in OSC1 and OSC2 are required.
The WDT oscillator is a free running on-chip RC oscilla
tor, and no external components are required. Even if
the system enters the power down mode, the system
clock is stopped, but the WDT oscillator still works with a

period of approximately 90ms. The WDT oscillator can
be disabled by ROM code option to conserve power.
Watchdog Timer - WDT
The WDT clock source is implemented by a dedicated
RC oscillator (WDT oscillator), instruction clock (system
clock divided by 4), determines the ROM code option.
This timer is designed to prevent a software malfunction
or sequence from jumping to an unknown location with
unpredictable results. The Watchdog Timer can be dis
abled by ROM code option. If the Watchdog Timer is dis
abled, all the executions related to the WDT result in no
operation.
Once the internal WDT oscillator (RC oscillator with a
period of 90ms@3V normally) is selected, it is first di
vided by 256 (8-stage) to get the nominal time-out pe
riod of 23ms@3V. This time-out period may vary with
temperatures, VDD and process variations. By invoking
the WDT prescaler, longer time-out periods can be real
ized. Writing data to WS2, WS1, WS0 (bit 2,1,0 of the
WDTS) can give different time-out periods. If WS2,
WS1, and WS0 are all equal to 1, the division ratio is up
to 1:128, and the maximum time-out period is 2.9s/3V
seconds. If the WDT oscillator is disabled, the WDT
clock may still come from the instruction clock and oper
ates in the same manner except that in the HALT state
the WDT may stop counting and lose its protecting purpose. In this situation the logic can only be restarted by
external logic. The high nibble and bit 3 of the WDTS are
reserved for user¢s defined flags, which can be used to
indicate some specified status.
If the device operates in a noisy environment, using the
on-chip RC oscillator (WDT OSC) is strongly recommended, since the HALT will stop the system clock.

WDTS register
The WDT overflow under normal operation will initialize
²chip reset² and set the status bit ²TO². But in the HALT
mode, the overflow will initialize a ²warm reset² and only
the PC and SP are reset to zero. To clear the contents of
WDT (including the WDT prescaler), three methods are
adopted; external reset (a low level to RES
struction anda ²HALT² instruction. The software instruc
tion include ²CLR WDT² and the other set -²CLR
WDT1² and ²CLR WDT2². Of these two types of instruc
-
tion, only one can be active depending on the ROM
-
code option -²CLR WDT times selection option².Ifthe²CLR WDT² is selected (i.e. CLR WDT times equal
one), any execution of the ²CLR WDT² instruction will
clear the WDT. In the case that ²CLR WDT1² and ²CLR
WDT2² are chosen (i.e. CLR WDT times equal two),
these two instructions must be executed to clear the
WDT; otherwise, the WDT may reset the chip as a result
of time-out.

Power Down Operation - HALT
The HALT mode is initialized by the ²HALT² instruction
and results in the following...
·
The system oscillator will be turned off but the WDT
-
oscillator remains running (if the WDT oscillator is se
lected).
·
The contents of the on chip RAM and registers remain
unchanged.
·
WDT and WDT prescaler will be cleared and recounted again (if the WDT clock is from the WDT oscillator).
·
All of the I/O ports maintain their original status.
·
The PD flag is set and the TO flag is cleared.
The system can leave the HALT mode by means of an
external reset, an interrupt, an external falling edge sig
nal on port A or a WDT overflow. An external reset
causes a device initialization and the WDT overflow per
forms a ²warm reset². After the TO and PD flags are ex
amined, the reason for chip reset can be determined.
The PD flag is cleared by system power-up or executing
the ²CLR WDT² instruction and is set when executing
the ²HALT² instruction. The TO flag is set if the WDT
time-out occurs, and causes a wake-up that only resets
the PCand SP; the others remain in their original status.
The port A wake-up and interrupt methods can be con
sidered as a continuation of normal execution. Each bit

in port A can be independently selected to wake up the
device by mask option. Awakening from an I/O port
stimulus, the program will resume execution of the next
instruction. If it awakens from an interrupt, two se
quence may occur. If the related interrupt is disabled or
the interrupt is enabled but the stack is full, the program
will resume execution at the next instruction. If the inter
rupt is enabled and the stack is not full, the regular inter
rupt response takes place. If an interrupt request flag is
set to ²1² before entering the HALT mode, the wake-up
function of the related interrupt will be disabled. Once a
wake-up event occurs, it takes 1024 t
(system clock

period) to resume normal operation. In other words, a
dummy period will be inserted after a wake-up. If the
wake-up results from an interrupt acknowledge signal,
the actual interrupt subroutine execution will be delayed
by one or more cycles. If the wake-up results in the next
instruction execution, this will be executed immediately
after the dummy period is finished.
To minimize power consumption, all the I/O pins should
be carefully managed before entering the HALT status.
Reset
There are threewaysinwhicharesetcanoccur:
·
RES reset during normal operation
·
RES reset during HALT
·
WDT time-out reset during normal operation
The WDT time-out during HALT is different from other
chip reset conditions, since it can perform a ²warm re set² that resets only the PC and SP, leaving the other circuits in their original state. Some registers remain unchanged during other reset conditions. Most registers
are reset to the ²initial condition² when the reset conditions are met. By examining the PD and TO flags, the
program can distinguish between different ²chip resets².
