Pin Descriptions
VCCand GND are the power supply pins. All VCCand GND
pins must be connected.
CKI is the clock input. This can come from an R/C generated oscillator, or a crystal oscillator (in conjunction with
CKO). See Oscillator Description section.
RESET
is the master reset input. See Reset Description
section.
The device contains three bidirectional 8-bit I/O ports (C, G
and L), where each individual bit may be independently configured as an input (Schmitt Trigger inputs on ports L and
G), output or TRI-STATE under program control. Three data
memory address locations are allocated for each of these
I/O ports. Each I/O port has two associated 8-bit memory
mapped registers, the CONFIGURATION register and the
output DATA register. A memory mapped address is also
reserved for the input pins of each I/O port. (See the memory map for the various addresses associated with the I/O
ports.)
Figure 4
DATA and CONFIGURATION registers allow for each port
bit to be individually configured under software control as
shown below:

PORT L is an 8-bit I/O port. All L-pins have Schmitt triggers
on the inputs.
The Port L supports Multi-Input Wake Up on all eight pins.

used for the UART transmit and receive. L4 and L5 are used
for the timer input functions T2A and T2B. L6 and L7 are
used for the timer input functions T3A and T3B.
The Port L has the following alternate features:

L2MIWU or TDX
L3MIWU or RDX
L4MIWU or T2A
L5MIWU or T2B
L6MIWU or T3A

Port G is an 8-bit port with 5 I/O pins (G0, G2 –G5), an input
pin (G6), and a dedicated output pin (G7). Pins G0 and G2–
G6 all have Schmitt Triggers on their inputs. Pin G1 serves
as the dedicated WDOUT WATCHDOG output, while pin G7
is either input or output depending on the oscillator mask
option selected. With the crystal oscillator option selected,
G7 serves as the dedicated output pin for the CKO clock
output. With the single-pin R/C oscillator mask option selected, G7 serves as a general purpose input pin but is also
used to bring the device out of HALT mode with a low to
high transition on G7. There are two registers associated
with the G Port, a data register and a configuration register.
Therefore, each of the 5 I/O bits (G0, G2 –G5) can be individually configured under software control.
Since G6 is an input only pin and G7 is the dedicated CKO
clock output pin (crystal clock option) or general purpose
input (R/C clock option), the associated bits in the data and
configuration registers for G6 and G7 are used for special
purpose functions as outlined on the next page. Reading
the G6 and G7 data bits will return zeros.

Note that the chip will be placed in the HALT mode by writing a ‘‘1’’ to bit 7 of the Port G Data Register. Similarly the
chip will be placed in the IDLE mode by writing a ‘‘1’’ to bit 6
of the Port G Data Register.
Writing a ‘‘1’’ to bit 6 of the Port G Configuration Register
enables the MICROWIRE/PLUS to operate with the alternate phase of the SK clock. The G7 configuration bit, if set
high, enables the clock start up delay after HALT when the
R/C clock configuration is used.

Functional Description
The architecture of the device is modified Harvard architecture. With the Harvard architecture, the control store program memory (ROM) is separated from the data store memory (RAM). Both ROM and RAM have their own separate
addressing space with separate address buses. The architecture, though based on Harvard architecture, permits
transfer of data from ROM to RAM.
CPU REGISTERS
The CPU can do an 8-bit addition, subtraction, logical or
shift operation in one instruction (t
There are six CPU registers:
A is the 8-bit Accumulator Register
) cycle time.
c
PC is the 15-bit Program Counter Register
PU is the upper 7 bits of the program counter (PC)
PL is the lower 8 bits of the program counter (PC)
B is an 8-bit RAM address pointer, which can be optionally
post auto incremented or decremented.
X is an 8-bit alternate RAM address pointer, which can be
optionally post auto incremented or decremented.
SP is the 8-bit stack pointer, which points to the subroutine/
interrupt stack (in RAM). The SP is initialized to RAM address 06F with reset.
S is the 8-bit Data Segment Address Register used to extend the lower half of the address range (00 to 7F) into 256
data segments of 128 bytes each.
All the CPU registers are memory mapped with the exception of the Accumulator (A) and the Program Counter (PC).
PROGRAM MEMORY
The program memory consists of 16 kbytes of OTP
EPROM. These bytes may hold program instructions or constant data (data tables for the LAID instruction, jump vectors
for the JID instruction, and interrupt vectors for the VIS instruction). The program memory is addressed by the 15-bit
program counter (PC). All interrupts in the devices vector to
program memory location 0FF Hex.
The device can be configured to inhibit external reads of the
program memory. This is done by programming the Security
Byte.
SECURITY FEATURE
The program memory array has an associate Security Byte
that is located outside of the program address range. This
byte can be addressed only from programming mode by a
programmer tool.
Security is an optional feature and can only be asserted
after the memory array has been programmed and verified.
A secured part will read all 00(hex) by a programmer. The
part will fail Blank Check and will fail Verify operations. A
Read operation will fill the programmer’s memory with
00(hex). The Security Byte itself is always readable with value of 00(hex) if unsecure and FF(hex) if secure.
DATA MEMORY
The data memory address space includes the on-chip RAM
and data registers, the I/O registers (Configuration, Data
and Pin), the control registers, the MICROWIRE/PLUS SIO
shift register, and the various registers, and counters associated with the timers (with the exception of the IDLE timer).
Data memory is addressed directly by the instruction or indirectly by the B, X, SP pointers and S register.
The data memory consists of 512 bytes of RAM. Sixteen
bytes of RAM are mapped as ‘‘registers’’ at addresses 0F0
to 0FF Hex. These registers can be loaded immediately,
and also decremented and tested with the DRSZ (decrement register and skip if zero) instruction. The memory
pointer registers X, SP, B and S are memory mapped into
this space at address locations 0FC to 0FF Hex respectively, with the other registers being available for general usage.
The instruction set permits any bit in memory to be set,
reset or tested. All I/O and registers (except A and PC) are
memory mapped; therefore, I/O bits and register bits can be
directly and individually set, reset and tested. The accumulator (A) bits can also be directly and individually tested.
Note: RAM contents are undefined upon power-up.
http://www.national.com8
Data Memory Segment
RAM Extension
Data memory address 0FF is used as a memory mapped
location for the Data Segment Address Register (S).
The data store memory is either addressed directly by a
single byte address within the instruction, or indirectly relative to the reference of the B, X, or SP pointers (each contains a single-byte address). This single-byte address allows
an addressing range of 256 locations from 00 to FF hex.
The upper bit of this single-byte address divides the data
store memory into two separate sections as outlined previously. With the exception of the RAM register memory from
address locations 00F0 to 00FF, all RAM memory is memory mapped with the upper bit of the single-byte address being equal to zero. This allows the upper bit of the single-byte
address to determine whether or not the base address
range (from 0000 to 00FF) is extended. If this upper bit
equals one (representing address range 0080 to 00FF),
then address extension does not take place. Alternatively, if
this upper bit equals zero, then the data segment extension
register S is used to extend the base address range (from
0000 to 007F) from XX00 to XX7F, where XX represents the
8 bits from the S register. Thus the 128-byte data segment
extensions are located from addresses 0100 to 017F for
data segment 1, 0200 to 027F for data segment 2, etc., up
to FF00 to FF7F for data segment 255. The base address
range from 0000 to 007F represents data segment 0.
Figure 5
illustrates how the S register data memory extension is used in extending the lower half of the base address
range (00 to 7F hex) into 256 data segments of 128 bytes
each, with a total addressing range of 32 kbytes from XX00
to XX7F. This organization allows a total of 256 data segments of 128 bytes each with an additional upper base segment of 128 bytes. Furthermore, all addressing modes are
available for all data segments. The S register must be
changed under program control to move from one data segment (128 bytes) to another. However, the upper base segment (containing the 16 memory registers, I/O registers,
control registers, etc.) is always available regardless of the
contents of the S register, since the upper base segment
(address range 0080 to 00FF) is independent of data segment extension.
The instructions that utilize the stack pointer (SP) always
reference the stack as part of the base segment (Segment
0), regardless of the contents of the S register. The S register is not changed by these instructions. Consequently, the
stack (used with subroutine linkage and interrupts) is always
located in the base segment. The stack pointer will be intitialized to point at data memory location 006F as a result of
reset.
The 128 bytes of RAM contained in the base segment are
split between the lower and upper base segments. The first
112 bytes of RAM are resident from address 0000 to 006F
in the lower base segment, while the remaining 16 bytes of
RAM represent the 16 data memory registers located at addresses 00F0 to 00FF of the upper base segment. No RAM
is located at the upper sixteen addresses (0070 to 007F) of
the lower base segment.
Additional RAM beyond these initial 128 bytes, however, will
always be memory mapped in groups of 128 bytes (or less)
at the data segment address extensions (XX00 to XX7F) of
the lower base segment. The additional 128 bytes of RAM
are memory mapped at address locations 0100 to 017F
hex.

Reset
The RESET input when pulled low initializes the microcontroller. Initialization will occur whenever the RESET
pulled low. Upon initialization, the data and configuration
registers for ports L, G and C are cleared, resulting in these
Ports being initialized to the TRI-STATE mode. Pin G1 of the
G Port is an exception (as noted below) since pin G1 is
dedicated as the WATCHDOG and/or Clock Monitor error
output pin. Port D is set high. The PC, PSW, ICNTRL,
CNTRL, T2CNTRL and T3CNTRL control registers are
cleared. The Comparator Select Register is cleared. The S
register is initialized to zero. The Multi-Input Wakeup registers WKEN and WKEDG are cleared. Wakeup register
WKPND is unknown. The stack pointer, SP, is initialized to
6F hex.
The device comes out of reset with both the WATCHDOG
logic and the Clock Monitor detector armed, with the
WATCHDOG service window bits set and the Clock Monitor
bit set. The WATCHDOG and Clock Monitor circuits are inhibited during reset. The WATCHDOG service window bits
being initialized high default to the maximum WATCHDOG
service window of 64k t

Timers
The device contains a very versatile set of timers (T0, T1,
T2, T3). All timers and associated autoreload/capture registers power up containing random data.
TIMER T0 (IDLE TIMER)
The device supports applications that require maintaining
real time and low power with the IDLE mode. This IDLE
mode support is furnished by the IDLE timer T0, which is a
16-bit timer. The Timer T0 runs continuously at the fixed
rate of the instruction cycle clock, t
or write to the IDLE Timer T0, which is a count down timer.
The Timer T0 supports the following functions:
X
Exit out of the Idle Mode (See Idle Mode description)
X
WATCHDOG logic (See WATCHDOG description)
X
Start up delay out of the HALT mode
The IDLE Timer T0 can generate an interrupt when the thirteenth bit toggles. This toggle is latched into the T0PND
pending flag, and will occur every 4 ms at the maximum
clock frequency (t
interrupt from the thirteenth bit of Timer T0 to be enabled or
e
1 ms). A control flag T0EN allows the
c
disabled. Setting T0EN will enable the interrupt, while resetting it will disable the interrupt.
TIMER T1, TIMER T2 AND TIMER T3
The device has a set of three powerful timer/counter
blocks, T1, T2 and T3. The associated features and functioning of a timer block are described by referring to the
timer block Tx. Since the three timer blocks, T1, T2 and T3
are identical, all comments are equally applicable to any of
the three timer blocks.
Each timer block consists of a 16-bit timer, Tx, and two
supporting 16-bit autoreload/capture registers, RxA and
RxB. Each timer block has two pins associated with it, TxA
and TxB. The pin TxA supports I/O required by the timer
block, while the pin TxB is an input to the timer block. The
powerful and flexible timer block allows the device to easily
perform all timer functions with minimal software overhead.
The timer block has three operating modes: Processor Independent PWM mode, External Event Counter mode, and
Input Capture mode.
The control bits TxC3, TxC2, and TxC1 allow selection of
the different modes of operation.
Mode 1. Processor Independent PWM Mode
As the name suggests, this mode allows the device to generate a PWM signal with very minimal user intervention. The
user only has to define the parameters of the PWM signal
(ON time and OFF time). Once begun, the timer block will
continuously generate the PWM signal completely independent of the microcontroller. The user software services the
timer block only when the PWM parameters require updating.
In this mode the timer Tx counts down at a fixed rate of t
Upon every underflow the timer is alternately reloaded with
the contents of supporting registers, RxA and RxB. The very
first underflow of the timer causes the timer to reload from
. The user cannot read
c
the register RxA. Subsequent underflows cause the timer to
be reloaded from the registers alternately beginning with the
register RxB.
The Tx Timer control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1 set up the
timer for PWM mode operation.
Figure 8
shows a block diagram of the timer in PWM mode.
The underflows can be programmed to toggle the TxA output pin. The underflows can also be programmed to generate interrupts.
Underflows from the timer are alternately latched into two
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The user must reset
these pending flags under software control. Two control enable flags, TxENA and TxENB, allow the interrupts from the
timer underflow to be enabled or disabled. Setting the timer
enable flag TxENA will cause an interrupt when a timer underflow causes the RxA register to be reloaded into the timer. Setting the timer enable flag TxENB will cause an interrupt when a timer underflow causes the RxB register to be
reloaded into the timer. Resetting the timer enable flags will
disable the associated interrupts.
Either or both of the timer underflow interrupts may be enabled. This gives the user the flexibility of interrupting once
per PWM period on either the rising or falling edge of the
PWM output. Alternatively, the user may choose to interrupt
on both edges of the PWM output.

Mode 2. External Event Counter Mode
This mode is quite similar to the processor independent
PWM mode described above. The main difference is that
the timer, Tx, is clocked by the input signal from the TxA pin.
The Tx timer control bits, TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1 allow the
timer to be clocked either on a positive or negative edge
from the TxA pin. Underflows from the timer are latched into
the TxPNDA pending flag. Setting the TxENA control flag
will cause an interrupt when the timer underflows.
In this mode the input pin TxB can be used as an indepen-
.
c
dent positive edge sensitive interrupt input if the TxENB
control flag is set. The occurrence of a positive edge on the
TxB input pin is latched into the TxPNDB flag.

being used as the counter input clock.
Underflows from the timer can also be programmed to generate interrupts. Underflows are latched into the timer TxC0
pending flag (the TxC0 control bit serves as the timer underflow interrupt pending flag in the Input Capture mode). Consequently, the TxC0 control bit should be reset when entering the Input Capture mode. The timer underflow interrupt is
enabled with the TxENA control flag. When a TxA interrupt
occurs in the Input Capture mode, the user must check both
the TxPNDA and TxC0 pending flags in order to determine
whether a TxA input capture or a timer underflow (or both)
caused the interrupt.
Figure 10
shows a block diagram of the timer in Input Cap-
ture mode.

Mode 3. Input Capture Mode
The device can precisely measure external frequencies or
time external events by placing the timer block, Tx, in the
input capture mode.
In this mode, the timer Tx is constantly running at the fixed
t
rate. The two registers, RxA and RxB, act as capture
c
registers. Each register acts in conjunction with a pin. The
register RxA acts in conjunction with the TxA pin and the
register RxB acts in conjunction with the TxB pin.
The timer value gets copied over into the register when a
trigger event occurs on its corresponding pin. Control bits,
TxC3, TxC2 and TxC1, allow the trigger events to be specified either as a positive or a negative edge. The trigger condition for each input pin can be specified independently.
The trigger conditions can also be programmed to generate
interrupts. The occurrence of the specified trigger condition
on the TxA and TxB pins will be respectively latched into the
pending flags, TxPNDA and TxPNDB. The control flag
TxENA allows the interrupt on TxA to be either enabled or
disabled. Setting the TxENA flag enables interrupts to be
generated when the selected trigger condition occurs on the
TxA pin. Similarly, the flag TxENB controls the interrupts
from the TxB pin.
