General Desc ription The fully-integrated PLL transmitter that allows particularly simple, low-cost RF minia-

ture transmitters to be assembled. The VCO is locked to 32 f crystal is needed for a 433.92 MHz transmitter. All other PLL and VCO peripheral ele­ments are integrated.
The XTO is a series res onance oscillator so that only one capac itor together with a crystal connected in series to GND are needed as external elements.
The crystal oscillator togethe r with the PLL nee ds maximum < 1 ms unti l the PLL is locked and the CLK ou tput is sta ble. A wait time of ³ 1 ms until the CLK is used for the microcontroller and the PA is switched on.
The power amplifier is an open-collector output delivering a current pulse which is nearly independent from t he load imped ance. The del ivered ou tput power is controlle d via the connected load impedance.
This output configuration enables a simple matching to any kind of antenna or to 50 W. A high power efficiency of h =P an optimized load impedance of Z

Functional Description

If ENABLE = L and PA_ENABLE = L, the circuit is in standby mode consuming only a very small amount o f current s o that a li thium cell u sed as po wer supply can work for several years.
With ENABLE = H, the XTO, PLL and the CLK driver are switched on. If PA_ENABLE remains L, only the PLL and the XT O are r unn ing and the CLK si gn al is del iver ed to the microcontroller. The VCO locks to 32 times the XTO frequency.
With ENABLE = H and PA_ENABLE = H, the PLL, XTO, CLK driver and the power amplifier are on. With PA_ENABLE, the power amplifier can be switched on and off, which is used to perform the ASK modulation.

ASK Transmission The PLL transmit ter bl oc k is a ct iv ated by ENA BL E = H. PA _E NAB LE m us t r em ain L for

t ³ 1 m s, then the CLK signal can be taken to clock the microcontroller and the output power can be modulated by means of pin PA_ENABLE. After transmission, PA_ENABLE is switched to L and the microcontroller switches back to internal clocking. The PLL transmitter block is switched back to standby mode with ENABLE = L.

FSK Transmission The PLL transmit ter bl oc k is a ct iv ated by ENA BL E = H. PA _E NAB LE m us t r em ain L for

t ³ 1 ms, then the CLK signal can be taken to clock the microcontroller and the power amplifier is sw itch ed on with PA_ENA BLE = H . The ch ip is then r eady for FSK modul a­tion. The microcontroller starts to switch on and off the capacitor between the XTAL load capacitor and GND with an open-drain output port, thus changing the reference fre­quency of the PLL. If the switch is closed, the output frequency is lower than if the switch is open. After tra nsmission PA_E NABLE is switch ed to L and the micro controller switches back to internal clockin g. The PLL transm itter block is switc hed back to standby mode with ENABLE = L.
The accuracy of the frequency deviation with XTAL pulling method is about ±25% when the following tolerances are considered.

CLK Output An output CLK signal is provided for a connected microcontroller. The delivered signal is

CMOS compatible if the load capacitance is lower than 10 pF.

Clock Pulse Take Over The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the microcontroller. Atmel’s

M4xCx9x has the special feature of starting with an integrated RC-oscillator to switch on the PLL transmitter block with ENABLE = H, and after 1 ms to assume the clock signal of the transmission IC, so the message can be sent with crystal accuracy.

Output Matching and Power Setting

The output power is set by the l oad impe dance o f the ante nna. Th e maximum output power is achieved with a load impe dance of Z low resistive path to V
to deliver the DC current.
S

Load,opt
The delivered current pulse of the power amplifier is 9 mA and the maximum output power is deliver ed to a resistive load of 465 W if the 1.0 pF output capac itance of the power amplifier is compensated by the load impedance.
An optimum load impedance of: Z
=465W || j/(2 ´p1.0 pF) = (166 + j223) W thus results for the maximum output

power of 7.5 dBm.
4552B–4BMCU–02/03
The load impedance is def ine d as th e im ped anc e s ee n from the PL L tr ans m itte r blo ck’s ANT1, ANT2 into the ma tching network . Do not confus e this la rge si gnal load imped­ance with a small signal input impedance delivered as input characteristic of RF amplifiers and me asured fr om the appl icatio n into the IC i nstead of from the IC into th e application for a power amplifier.
Less output power is achieved by lowering the real parallel part of 465 W where the parallel imaginary part should be kept constant.
Output power measurement can be done with the cir cuit shown in Figure 5. Note that the component values must be changed to compensate the individual board parasitics until the PLL transmitter block has the right load impedance Z
= (166 + j223) W.

Also the damping of the cable used to measure the output power must be calibrated.

MARC4 Architecture General Desc ription

The MARC4 microcontroller consists of an advanced stack-based, 4-bit CPU core and on-chip peripherals . The CPU i s based o n the Harvard ar chit ectur e with ph ysical ly sep­arated program memory (ROM) and data memory (RAM). Three independent buses, the instruction bus, the memory bus and the I/O bus, are used for parallel communica­tion between ROM, RAM and peripherals. This enhances program execution speed by allowing both inst ructio n pre fetchi ng, and a si multan eous commu nicat ion to the on -chip peripheral circuitry. The extremely powerful integr ated interrupt controller with associ­ated eight prioritized interrupt levels supports fast and efficient processing of hardware events. The MARC4 is designed for the high-level programming language qFORTH. The core includes both an expressi on and a return stack. This architecture e nables high-level language programming without any loss of efficiency or code density.

ROM The program memory (ROM) is mask programmed with the customer application pro-
gram during the fabrica tion of the micro controller. The ROM is addres sed by a 12-bit wide program cou nter, thu s pr edefin ing a max imum pr ogram bank s ize of 4 Kbyt es. A n additional 1-Kbyte of ROM exists, which is rese rved for q ual ity control self-test software The lowest user ROM address segment is taken up by a 512-bytes Zero page which contains predefined st art address es for i nterrupt servi ce routines and special subrou­tines accessible with single byte instructions (SCALL).
The corresponding memory map is shown in Figur e 4. Look-up tab les of consta nts can also be held in ROM and are accessed via the MARC4’s built-in table instruction.

RAM The microcontroller block contains 256 x 4-bit wide static random access memory
(RAM), which is used for the expression stack. The return stack and data memory are used for variables and arrays. The RAM is addressed by any of the four 8-bit wide RAM address registers SP, RP, X and Y.

Expression Stack The 4-bit wide expression stack is addressed with the expression stack pointer (SP). All

arithmetic, I/O and memory reference operations take their operands, and return their results to the expression stack. The MARC4 performs the operations with the top of stack items (TOS and TOS-1). The TOS register contains the top element of the expres­sion stack and works in the same way as an accumulat or. This stack is als o used for passing parameters betw een sub routi nes and as a sc ratch pad area for temporary stor­age of data.

Return Stack The 12-bit wide return stack is ad dr es se d by the re tu rn s tac k p oin ter ( RP ) . It i s us ed for

storing return ad dresses of subr outines, interrupt r outines and for keeping l oop index counts. The return stack can also be used as a temporary storage area.
The MARC4 instructi on se t s up por ts th e e xc ha nge of da ta b etwe en the top el em ents of the expression stack and the return stack. The two stacks within the RAM have a user definable location and maximum depth.

Program Counter (PC) The program counte r is a 12 -bit reg ister which c ontains th e ad dress o f the nex t inst ruc-

For linear code (no calls or branches), the prog ram counte r is increm ented with every instructio n cycle. If a branch-, call-, return-instruction or an interrupt is executed, the program counter is loaded with a new address . The program co unter is also used with the tab le instruc tion to fetch 8-bit wide ROM constants.

RAM Address Registers The RAM is addressed with the four 8-bit wide RAM address registers: SP, RP, X and Y.

These registers allow access to any of the 256 RAM nibbles.

Expression Stack Pointer (SP) The stack poi nter conta ins the add ress of the next-to-t op 4-bit it em (TOS-1 ) of the

expression stack. The pointer is automatically pre-incremented if a nibble is moved onto the stack or post-decremented if a nibble is removed from the stack. Every post-decre­ment operation moves the item (TOS-1) to the TOS register before the SP is decremented. Afte r a reset, the stac k pointer ha s to be initia lized with ">SP S0" t o allo­cate the start address of the expression stack area.

Return Stack Pointer (RP) The return stack pointer points to the top element of the 12-bit wide retur n stack. The

pointer automatically pre-increments if an element is moved onto the stack, or it post­decrements if an element is removed from the stack. The return stack pointer incre­ments and decrements in steps of 4. This means that every time a 12-bit element is stacked, a 4-bit RAM location is left unwritten. This location is used by the qFORTH compiler to allocate 4-bit variables. After a reset the return stack pointer has to be initial­ized via ">RP FCh".

I/O Bus The I/O ports and the registers of the peripheral module s ar e I/O mappe d. Al l com mun i-

cation between the c ore a nd th e on -chip per ipher als ta ke place via th e I/O bu s a nd th e associated I/O control. With the MARC4 IN and OUT instructions, the I/O bus allows a direct read or write access to one of the 16 primary I/O addresses. More about the I/O access to the on-chi p pe ripher als i s de scri bed in the s ecti on “P erip heral Modul es". T he I/O bus is internal and is not accessible by the customer on the final microcontroller device, but it is use d as the inter face for the MA RC4 emulat ion (see als o the sectio n “Emulation").

Instruction Set The MARC4 instruction set is optimized for the hi gh level programming language

qFORTH. Many MARC4 instructions are qFORTH words. This enables the compiler to generate a fast and compact progr am code. The CP U has an inst ructi on pipelin e allow­ing the controller to prefetch an instruction from ROM at the same time as the present instruction is being executed. The MARC4 is a zero-address machine, the instructions contain only the oper ation to be p erfor med an d no so urce or de stina tion ad dress f ields . The operations are impli citl y pe rf ormed on the data placed on the stack. There are one­and two-byte instructions which are executed within 1 to 4 machine cycles. A MARC4 machine cycle is made up of two system clock cycles (SYSCL). Most of the instructions are only one byte long and are executed in a single machine cycle. For more information refer to the “MARC4 Programmer’s Guide".

Interrupt Structure The MARC4 can handle interrupts with eight different priority levels. They can be gener-

ated from the internal and external interrup t sources or by a softwar e interrup t from the CPU itself. Each interrupt level has a hard-wired priority and an associated vector for the service routine in the ROM (see Table 1). The programmer can postpone the processing of interrupts by resetting the interrupt enable flag (I) in the CCR. An interrupt occurrence will still be registered, but the interrupt routine only started after the I-flag is set. All inter­rupts can be masked, and the priority individually software configured by programming the appropriate control register of the interrupting module (see section “Peripheral Modules").

ATAR862-4

Interrupt Processing For processing the eight interrupt levels, the MARC4 includes an interrupt controller with

two 8-bit wide interrup t pending and inter rupt active registers. The interr upt control ler samples all interrupt requests during every non-I/O instruction cycle and latches these in the interrupt pending register. If no higher priority interrupt is present in the interrupt active register, it signals the CPU to interrupt the current program execution. If the inter­rupt enable bit is set, the processor enters an interrupt acknowledge cycle. During this cycle a short call (S CALL) ins truction to the serv ice routin e is exec uted and the current PC is saved on the return stack. An interrupt service routine is completed with the RTI instruction. T his inst ruct io n rese ts t he c orres pondi ng b its in t he i nterru pt pendi ng/act ive register and fetches the return address from th e return stack to the prog ram counter . When the interrupt enable flag is reset (triggering of interrupt routines is disabled), the execution of new interrupt service routines is inhibited but not the logging of the interrupt requests in the inte rrupt pe nding re giste r. The e xecution of the i nterrup t is d elayed u ntil the interrupt enable flag is set again. Note that interrupts are only lost if an interrupt request occurs wh ile the corre sponding bi t in the pendin g register is s till set (i.e ., the interrupt service routine is not yet finished).
It should be noted that automatic stacking of the RBR is not carried out by the hardware and so if ROM banking is used, the RBR must be stacked on the expression stack by the application program and res tored before the RTI. After a mast er reset (power-o n, brown-out or watchdog reset), the interru pt enable flag and the inter rupt pending and interrupt active register are all reset.

Interrupt Latency The interrupt latenc y is the time from the occurrence of the inte rrup t to th e i nterr upt se r-

vice routine being activated. This is extremely short (taking between 3 to 5 machine cycles depending on the state of the core).

Software Interrupts The programmer ca n generate interrupts by using the software interrupt ins truction

(SWI), which is supporte d in qFO RTH by pre defined m acros na med SW I0...SW I7. Th e software triggered interrupt operates exactly like any hardware triggered interrupt. The SWI instruction takes the top two elements from the expression stack and writes the cor­responding bits via the I/O bus to th e i nter rup t pending register. Therefore, by us in g th e SWI instruction, interrupts can be re-prioritized or lower priority processes scheduled for later execution.
Hardware Interrupts In the microcontroller block, there are el even har dw ar e i nterr upt so ur ce s with s eve n d if-
ferent levels. Each source can be masked individually by mask bits in the corresponding control regi sters. A n overv iew of the po ssible hardwa re conf igurat ions is shown in Table 3.

Master Reset The master reset forces the CPU into a well-defined condition. It is unmaskable and is

activated independent of the current program state. It can be triggered by either initial supply power-up, a short collapse of the power supply, brown-out detection circuitry, watchdog time-out, or an externa l input cl ock supe rvisor stage (see Figure 9). A mas ter reset activation will rese t the i nterr upt enab le fl ag, the in ter rupt pe ndi ng r egis ter and th e interrupt active regi ster.

These circuits ensure that the core is held in the reset state until the minimum operating supply voltage has been reached. A reset condition will also be generated should the supply voltage drop momentarily below the minimum operating l evel except when a power-down mode is activated (the core is in SLEEP mode and the peripheral clock is stopped). In this power-down mode the brown-out detection is disabled.
Two values for the brown-out voltage threshold are programmable via the BOT-bit in the SC-register.

Watchdog Reset The watchdog’s function can be enabled at the WDC-register and triggers a reset with

every watchdog counter overflow. To suppress the watchdog reset, the watchdog counter must be regularly reset by reading the watchdog register address (CWD). The CPU reacts in exactly the same manner as a reset stimulus from any of the above sources.

Voltage Monitor The voltage monitor consists of a comparator with internal voltage reference. It is used

to supervise the supply voltage or an external voltage at the VMI-pin. The comparator for the supply voltage has three internal programmable thresholds one lower threshold (2.2 V), one middle threshold (2.6 V) and one higher threshold (3.0 V). For external volt­ages at the VMI-pin, the comparator threshold is set to V indicates if the supervised voltage is below (VMS = 0) or above (VMS = 1) this thresh­old. An interrupt can be g enerated wh en the V MS-b it is set or res et to de tect a risin g or falling slope.

Clock Generation

Clock Module The microcontroller block contains a clock module with 4 different internal osc illator

types: two RC-oscillators, one 4-MHz crystal oscillator and one 32-kHz crystal oscillator. The pins OSC1 and OSC2 are the interf ace to c onnect a crysta l either to th e 4-MHz, or to the 32-kHz crystal oscillator. OSC1 can be used as input for external clocks or to con­nect an external tri mming res isto r for the R C-o scill ator 2. All ne cess ary ci rcuitr y, exce pt the crystal and the t rimm ing r esis tor, i s i nte grated on -chi p. O ne of t hes e o scil lat or ty pes or an external input clock can be selected to generate the system clock (SYSCL).
24
ATAR862-4
In applications that do not require exact timing, it is possible to use the fully integrated RC-oscillator 1 without any external components. The RC-oscillator 1 center frequency tolerance is better than ± 50%. The RC-oscillator 2 is a trimmable oscillator whereby the oscillator frequency can be trimmed with an external resistor attached between OSC1 and V
. In this configuration, the RC-oscillator 2 frequency can be maintained stable
DD
with a tolerance of ± 15% over the full operating temperature and voltage range. The clock module is programmable via software with the clock management register
(CM) and the system configuration register (SC). The requir ed oscillator c onfiguration can be selected with the OS1-bit and the OS0-bit in the SC-register. A programmable 4-bit divider stage allows the adjustment of the system clock speed. A special feature of the clock management is that an external oscillator may be used and switched on and off via a port pin for the power-down mode. Before the external clock is switched off, the internal RC-oscillator 1 must be s elected with the CCS-bit and then the SLEE P mode may be activated. In this state an interrupt can wake up the controller with the RC-oscil­lator, and the external oscillator can be activated and selected by software. A synchronization stage avoids too short clock periods if the clock source or the clock speed is changed. If an external input clock is selected, a supervisor circuit monitors the external input and gen er ate s a har dwa re reset if the external clock sou rce f ail s or dr ops below 500 kHz for more than 1 ms.

Oscillator Circuits and External Clock Input Stage

RC-oscillator 1 Fully Integrated

The clock module generates two output clocks. One is the system clock (SYSCL) and the other the periphery (SUBCL). The SYSCL can supply the core and the peripherals and the SUBCL can supply only the peripherals with cloc ks. The modes for clock sources are programmable with the OS1-bit and OS0-bit in the SC-register and the CCS-bit in the CM-regi ste r.
The microcontroller block se ries consi sts of fou r different in ternal os cillators: t wo RC­oscillators, one 4-MHz crystal oscillator, one 32-kHz crystal oscillator and one external clock input stage.
For timing insensitive applications, it is possible to use the fully integrated RC oscillator 1. It operates without any external components and saves additional costs. The RC-oscillator 1 center frequency tolerance is better than ±50% over the full temper­ature and voltage range. The bas ic center frequency of the RC-oscillato r 1 is f
» 3.8 MHz. The RC oscillator 1 is selected by default after power-on reset.

External Input Clock The OSC1 or OSC2 (mask option) can be driven by an external clock source provided it
meets the specified duty cycle, rise and fall times and input level s. Additionally, the external clock stage conta ins a superv isory circuit for the input clock . The supervi sor function is controlled via the OS1, OS0-bit in the SC-register and the CCS-bit in the CM­register. If the external input clock is missing for more than 1 ms and CCS = 0 is set in the CM-register, the supervisory circuit generates a hardware reset.

Power-down Modes The sleep mode is a shut-down condition which is used to reduce the average system

power consumption in applications where the microcontroller is not fully utilized. In this mode, the system clock is stopped. The sleep mode is entered via the SLEEP instruc­tion. This instruction sets the interrupt enable bit (I) in the condition code register to enable all interrup ts and stops the core. Durin g the sleep mode the periphe ral modules remain active and are able to gene rate interrupt s. The microco ntroller exits the s leep mode by carrying out any interrupt or a reset.
The sleep mode c an only be kept whe n none of th e interr upt pend ing or ac tive re gister bits are set. The application of the $AUTOSLEEP routine ensures the correct function of the sleep mode. For standard applications use the $AUTOSLEEP r outine to enter the power-down mode. Using the S LE EP in str uc tion i ns tea d of th e $A UTO SLE E P follo win g an I/O instruction requ ires to ins ert 3 non-I/O inst ructi on cyc les (for exam ple N OP N OP NOP) between the IN or OUT command and the SLEEP command.
The total power consumption is directly proportional to the active time of the microcon­troller. For a rough estimation of the expected average system current consumption, the following formula should be used:

The microcontroller block has various power-down modes. During the sleep mode the clock for the MARC4 core is stopped. With the NSTOP-bit in the clock management reg­ister (CM), it is programmable if the clock for the on-chip peripherals is active or stopped during the slee p mode. I f the cl ock for t he core a nd the pe ripheral s is stop ped, the selected oscillator is switched off. An exception is the 32-kHz oscillator, if it is selected it runs continuously independent of the NSTOP-bit. If the oscillator is stopped or the 32-kHz oscillator is selected, power consumption is extremely low.

Peripheral Modules

Addressing Peripheral s Accessing the peripheral modules takes place via the I/O bus (see Figure 20). The IN or

OUT instructions allow direct addressing of up to 16 I/O modul es. A dual register addressing scheme has be en ado pted to ena ble dir ect a ddressi ng of the prim ary regi s­ter. To address the auxiliary register, the access must be switched with an auxiliary switching m odul e. Thu, s a si ngle IN (or OU T) to the module address will read (or write into) the module primar y register . Accessin g the auxili ary registe r is perform ed with the same instruction preceded by writing the module address into the auxiliary switching module. Byte wide registers are accessed by multiple IN- (or OUT-) instructions. For more complex peripheral modules, with a larger number of registers, extended address­ing is used. In this case, a bank of up to 16 subport registers are indirectly addressed with the subport address. The first OUT-instruction writes the subport address to the subaddress register, the second IN- or OUT-instruction reads data from or writes data to the addressed subport.

Bi-directional Ports With the exception of Port 1 and Port 6, all other ports (2, 4 and 5) are 4 bits wide. Port 1

and Port 6 have a data width of 2 bits (bit 0 and bit 3 ). All ports may be used for data input or output. Al l ports ar e equippe d with Schmi tt trigg er inputs an d a variet y of mask options for open- dra in, o pen-sou rce, full- compl ement ary ou tput s, pu ll-up and p ull- down transistors. All Port Data Registers (PxDAT) are I/O mapped to the primary address reg­ister of the respective port address and the Port Control Register (PxCR), to the corresponding auxiliary register.
There are five different directional ports available: Port 1 2-bit wide bi-directional port with automatic full bus width direction switching. Port 2 4-bit wide bitwise-programmable I/O port. Port 5 4-bit wide bitwise-programmable bi-directional port with optional strong
pull-ups and programmable interrupt logic.
Port 4 4-bit wide bitwise-programmable bi-directional port also provides the I/O
interface to Timer 2, SSI, voltage monitor input and external interrupt input.
Port 6 2-bit wide bitwise-programmable bi-directional port also provides the I/O
interface to Timer 3 and external interrupt input.

Bi-directional Port 1 In Port 1 th e data direct ion r egister is not indepe ndentl y sof tware pr ogramma ble, th e

direction of the complete port being s witched a utomatically when an I/ O instructio n occurs (see Figure 21 ). The por t is sw itched to output mode via an OU T i ns tru ction and to input via an IN instruction. The data written to a port will be stored into the output data latches and appears immediately at the port pin following the OUT instruction. After RESET all output l atches are set to "1 " and the port is switched to input mod e. An IN instruction reads the condition of the associated pins.
Note: Care must be taken when switching the bi-directional port from output to input. The
capacitive pin loading at this port in conjunction with the high resistance pull-ups may cause the CPU to read the contents of the output data register rather than the exter nal input state. To avoid this, one of the following programming techniques should be used: Use two IN-instructions and DROP the first data nibble. The first IN switches the port from output to input and the DROP removes the first invalid nibble. The second IN reads the valid pin state. Use an OUT-instruction f oll o wed by an IN-instruction. Via the OUT-instruction, th e ca pac ­itive load is charged or discharged depending on the optional pull-up/pull-down configurati on. W rite a "1" for pin s with pull- up res istor s and a "0" for pins with pull- down resistors.

Bi-directional Port 2 As all othe r bi- direct ional ports , this por t in clud es a bitwise pro grammab le Control Reg-
ister (P2CR), which enables the individual programmi ng of each port bit as input or output. It also opens up the possibility of reading the pin condition when in output mode. This is a useful feature for self testing and for serial bus applications.
Port 2, however, has an increased drive capability and an additional low resistance pull­up/-down transistor mask option.
Care should be taken connecting external components to BP20/NTE. During any reset phase, the BP20/NTE input is driven towards V transistor. This pin must not be pulled down (active or passi ve) to V
by an additional internal strong pull-up

any external cir cuitry r epresen ting a res istor of l ess than 15 0 kW. This prevents the cir­cuit from unintended switching to test mode enable through the application circuitry at pin BP20/NTE. Resistors less than 150 kW might lead to an undefined state of the inter­nal test logic thus disabling the application firmware.
To avoid any conflict with the optional internal pull-down transistors, BP20 handles the pull-down options in a different way than all other ports. BP20 is the only port that switches off the pull-down transistors during reset.

Bi-directional Port 5 As all othe r bi- direct ional ports , this por t in clud es a bitwise pro grammab le Control Reg-

ister (P5CR), which allows the individual programming of each port bit as input or output. It also opens up the possibility of reading the pin condition when in output mode. This is a useful feature for self testing and for serial bus applications.
The port pins can also be used as external interrupt inputs (see F igure 23 and Figure
24). The interru pts (INT1 and INT 6) can be ma sked or inde pendent ly co nfigured to trig­ger on either edge. The interrupt configuration and port direction is controlled by the Port 5 Control Register (P5CR). An additional low resistance pull-up/-down transistor mask option provides an internal bus pull-up for serial bus applications.
The Port 5 Data Register (P5DAT) is I/O mapped to the primary address r egister of address "5"h and the Port 5 Control Register (P5CR) to the corresponding auxiliary reg­ister. The P5CR is a byte-wide register and is configured by writing first the low nibble and then the high nibble (see section "Addressing Peripherals").

The Universal Timer/counter/Communication Module (UTCM) consi sts of three timers (Timer 1,Timer 2, Timer 3) and a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI).
Timer 1 is an interval timer that can be used to generate periodical interrupts and as prescaler for Timer 2, Timer 3, the serial interface and the watchdog function.
Timer 2 is an 8/12-bit timer with an external clock input (T2I) and an output (T2O).
Timer 3 is an 8-bit timer/counter with its own input (T3I) and output (T3O).
The SSI operates as two wire serial interface or as shift register for modulation and demodulation. The modulator and demodulator units work together with the timers and shift the data bits into or out of the shift register.
4552B–4BMCU–02/03
There is a multitude of modes in whi ch the timers and the serial interface can wo rk together.

Timer 1 The Timer 1 is an interval tim er whic h can be use d to gen er ate pe riod ic al inte rrup ts an d
as prescaler for Timer 2, Timer 3, the serial interface and the watchdog function. The Timer 1 consists of a programmable 14-stage divider that is driven by either SUBCL
or SYSCL. The timer outp ut s ign al can be u sed as pres ca ler c lock or as SUB CL a nd as source for the Timer 1 interrupt. Because of other system requirements, the Timer 1 out­put T1OUT is synchronized with SYSCL. Therefore, in the po wer-down mod e SLEEP (CPU core -> slee p and OSC-S top -> yes) , the outpu t T1OUT is stopp ed (T1OU T = 0). Nevertheless, the Timer 1 can be active in SLEEP and generate Timer 1 interrupts. The interrupt is maskable via the T1IM bit and the SUBCL can be bypassed via the T1BP bit of the T1C2 register. The time interval for the timer output can be programmed via the Timer 1 control register T1C1.

This timer starts running automatically after any power-on reset! If the watchdog func­tion is not activated, the timer can be restarted by writing into the T1C1 register with T1RM = 1.
Timer 1 can also be use d as a watc hdog timer to pr event a syst em from stall ing. The watchdog timer is a 3-bit counter that is supplied by a separate output of Timer 1. It gen­erates a system reset when the 3-bit counter overflows. To avoid this, the 3-bit counter must be reset before it ov erflows. The ap plication soft ware has to accom plish this by reading the CWD register.
After power-on reset t he wa tc hdog mu st be a cti va ted by so ftwar e in the $ RES E T ini tia l­ization routine. There are two watchdog modes, in one mode the watchdog can be switched on and off by software, in the other mode the watchdog is active and locked. This mode can only be stopped by carrying out a system reset.
The watchdog timer operation mode and the time interval for the watchdog reset can be programmed via the watchdog control register (WDC).

Timer 2 8-/12-bit Timer for:

Interrupt, square-wave, pulse and duty cycle generation
Baud-rate generation for the internal shift register
Manchester and Biphase modulation together with the SSI
Carrier frequency generation and modulation together with the SSI Timer 2 can be used as an interval timer for inter rupt gen eration, as signal gen erato r or
as baud-rate generator and modulator for the serial interface. It consists of a 4-bit and an 8-bit up counte r stage whi ch both have compa re regi sters. T he 4-bit c ounter s tages of Timer 2 are cascadable as a 12-bi t ti mer or as an 8- b it timer wi th 4-bi t pres c ale r. Th e timer can also be configured as an 8-bit timer and a separate 4-bit prescaler.
The Timer 2 input can be supplied via the system clock, the external input clock (T2I), the Timer 1 output clock, the Timer 3 outp ut clock or the sh ift clock of the se rial inter­face. The external input clock T2I is not synchronized with SYSCL. Therefore, it is possible to use Timer 2 with a higher clock speed than SYSCL. Furthermore, with that input clock the Timer 2 operates in the power-down mode SLEEP (CPU core -> sleep and OSC-Stop -> yes) as well as in th e PO WER-DOWN (CPU c ore -> s leep and OSC­Stop -> no). All other clock sources supplied no clock signal in SLEEP. The 4-bit counter stages of Timer 2 have an additional clock output (POUT).
Its output has a modulator stage that allows the generation of pulses as well as the gen­eration and modulation of carrier frequencies. The Timer 2 output can modulate with the shift register data output to generate Biphase- or Manchester code.
If the serial interface is used to modulate a bitstream, the 4-bit stage of Timer 2 has a special task. The shift register can only handle bitstream lengths divisible by 8. For other lengths, the 4-bit counter stage can be used to stop the modulator after the right bitcount is shifted out.
If the timer is used for c arrier f reque ncy mod ulatio n, t he 4-bit stage works togeth er with an additional 2-bit duty cycle generator like a 6-bit prescaler to generate carrier fre­quency and duty cycle. The 8-bit counter is used to enable and disable the modulator output for a programmable count of pulses.
For programming the time interval, the timer has a 4-bit and an 8-bit compare register. For programming the timer function, it has four mode and control registers. The compar­ator output of stage 2 is co ntrolled by a speci al compare mode r egister (T2CM) . This register contains mask bits for the actions (counter reset, output toggle, timer interrupt) which can be triggered by a compare match event or the counter overflow. This archi­tecture enables the timer function for various modes.
The Timer 2 has a 4-bit compare r egister (T2CO1) and an 8-bit com pare register (T2CO2). Both these compare registers are cascadable as a 12-bit compare register, or 8-bit compare register and 4-bit compare register.

The 4-bit stage is used as programmable pres caler for the 8 -bit counter s tage. In this mode, a duty cycle stage is also available. This stage can be used as an additional 2-bit prescaler or for generating duty cycles of 25%, 33% and 50%. The 4-bit compare output (CM1) supplies the clock output (POUT) with clocks.

In these modes the 4-bit and the 8-bit counter stages work independently as a 4-bit prescaler and an 8- bit tim er wi th a n 2 -b it pr es caler o r as a d uty cyc le gen erato r. O nly i n the mode 3 and mode 4, can the 8-bit counter be supplied via the external clock input (T2I) which is selected via the P4CR register. The 4-bit prescaler is started via activating of mode 3 and stopped and reset in mode 4. Changing mode 3 and 4 has no effect for the 8-bit timer stage. The 4-bit stage can be used as prescaler for Timer 3, the SSI or to generate the stop signal for modulator 2 and modulator 3.

Timer 2 Output Modes The signal at the timer output is generated via modulator 2. In the toggle mode, the com-

pare match event toggles the output T2O. For high resolution duty cycle modulation 8
46
bits or 12 bits can be used to toggle the output. In the duty cycle burst the DCG output is connected to T2O and switched on and off either by the toggle flipflop output or the serial data line of the SSI. Modulator 2 also has two modes to output the content of the serial interface as Biphase or Manchester code.
The modulator ou tput stage ca n be configu red by the outp ut control b its in the T2M 2 register. The modulator is started with the start of the s hift register (SIR = 0) and stopped either by car rying o ut a s hift regi ster stop ( SIR = 1) or c ompar e match event of stage 1 (CM1) of Timer 2. For this task, Timer 2 mode 3 must be used and the prescaler has to be supplied with the internal shift clock (SCL).

Timer 2 Compare and Compare Mode Registers

Timer 2 Compare Mode Register (T2CM)

Timer 2 has two s eparate com pare r egister s, T2 CO1 for the 4-bit stage and T2CO2 for the 8-bit stage of Timer 2. The timer compares the contents of the compare register cur­rent counter value and if it matches it generates an output signal. Dependent on the timer mode, this signal is used to generate a timer interrupt, to toggle the output flip-flop as SSI clock or as a clock for the next counter stage.
In the 12-bit timer mode, T2CO1 contains bits 0 to 3 and T2CO2 bits 4 to 11 of the 12-bit compare value. In all other modes, the two compare registers work independently as a 4- and 8-bit compare register.
When asigned to the compare register a compare event will be suppressed.

Timer 3 consists of an 8-bit up-counter with two compare registers and one capture reg­ister. The timer can be used as event counter, timer and signal generator. Its output can be programmed as modulator and d emodulator for the s erial i nterface. The two com­pare registers enable various modes of signal generation, modulation and demodulation. The counter can be driven by internal and external clock sources. For external clock sources, it has a programmable edge-sensitive input which can be used as counter input, capture signal input or trigger input. This timer input is synchronized with SYSCL. Therefore, in the power-down mode SLEEP (CPU core -> sleep and OSC­Stop -> yes), this ti mer i npu t is s topp ed t oo. T h e coun ter is read abl e v ia its captu r e r eg­ister while it is running. In capture mode, the cou nter value can be captured by a programmable capture event from the Timer 3 input or Timer 2 output.
A special feature of this timer is the trigger- and single-action mode. In trigger mode, the counter starts counting triggered by the external signal at its input. In single-action mode, the counter counts only one time up to the programmed compare match event. These modes are very usef ul for modulat ion, demodula tion, signal gene ration, signa l measurement and phase controlling. For phase controlling, the timer input is protected against negative voltages and has zero-cross detection capability.
Timer 3 has a modulator output stage and input functions for demodulation. As modula­tor it works together wi th Timer 2 or the serial int erface. W hen the sh ift regist er is used for modulation the data shifted out of the register is encoded bitwise. In all demodulation modes, the decoded data bits are shifted automatically into the shift register.

Timer/Counter Modes Timer 3 has 6 timer modes and 6 modulator/demodulator modes. The mode is set via

the Timer 3 Mode Register T3M. In all these modes, the co mpa re r egi st er and the compare-mode register bel ong ing to i t
define the counter value for a compare match and the action of a compare match. A match of the current counter value with the content of one compare register triggers a counter reset, a Timer 3 interrupt or the toggling of the output flip-flop. The compare mode registers T3M1 an d T3M2 cont ain the mask bi ts for enabl ing or disabl ing these actions.
The counter can al so be e nabled to execut e single a ctions with one or both compare registers. If thi s mo de i s set t he cor resp ondin g c ompar e m atch ev ent i s g enerate d on ly once after the counter start.
Most of the timer modes use their compare registers alternately. After the start has been activated, the first comparison is carried out via th e compare register 1, the second is carried out via the compare register 2, the third is carried out again via the compare reg­ister 1 and so on. This makes it easy to generate signals with cons tant periods and variable duty cycle or to generate signals with variable pulse and space widths.
If single-action mode is set for one compare register, the comparison is always carried out after the first cycle via the other compare register.
The counter can be st arted an d stoppe d via the con trol reg ister T3C. T his regis ter also controls the initia l level of the output bef ore start. T 3C contains th e interrupt mask for a T3I input interrupt.
Via the Timer 3 clock-s elect register, the i nternal or external cloc k source can be selected. This regi ster sele ct s also th e active edge of the exter nal inp ut. An edge at the external input T 3I c an ge nerat e also an i nterrup t if the T 3EIM -bit is se t and the T imer 3 is stopped (T3R = 0) in the T3C-register.

The status of the timer as well as the occurrence of a compare match or an edge detect of the input signal is indicated by the status register T2ST. This allows identification of the interrupt source because all these events share only one timer interrupt.

Timer 3 – Mode 1: Timer/Counter

Timer 3 compares data values. The Timer 3 has two 8-bit compare registers (T3CO1, T3CO2). The compare data value
can be ‘m’ for each of the Timer 3 compare registers. The compare data value for the compare registers is: m = x +1 0 £ x £ 255
The selected clock from an internal or external source increments the 8-bit counter. In this mode, the timer ca n be use d as ev ent co unter for external clock s at T3I or as timer for generating interrupts and puls es at T3O . The co unter val ue can be read by th e soft­ware via the capture register.

The counter is driven b y an internal cl ock source. After starti ng with T3R, the fir st edge from the external input T3I starts the counter. The following edges at T3I load the cur­rent counter value into the ca pture register, res et the counter and r estart it. The ed ge can be selected by the programmable edge decoder of the timer input stage. If single­action mode is activated for one or both compare registers the trigger signal restarts the single action.

Timer 3 – Mode 4: Timer/Counter

Timer 3 – Mode 5: Timer/Counter, External Trigger Restart and External Capture (with T3I Input)

The counter is driven by an internal or external (T3I) clock source. The output toggle sig­nal of Timer 2 resets the counter. The counter value before the reset is saved in the capture register. If single-action mode is activated for one or both compare registers, the trigger signal restarts the single actions. This mode can be used for frequency measure­ments or as event counter with time gate (see combination mode 10).

Timer 3 – Mode 10: Manchester Demodulation/ Pulse-width Demodulation

For Manchester demodula tion , the edge detec ti on sta ge mus t be progr am me d to detec t each edge at the input. These edges are evaluated by the demodulator stage. The timer stage is used to generate the shift clock for the SSI. The com pare register 1 match event defines the correct moment for shifting the state from the input T3I as the decoded bit into shift register – after that the demo dulator waits for the ne xt edge to synchr onize the timer by a reset for the next bit. The compare register 2 can also be used to detect a time-out error and handle it with an interrupt routine (see also combination mode 8).

If the output stage operates as puls e-width modulato r for the sh ift register , the output can be stopped with stage 1 of T imer 2. For this task, the timer mode 3 must be used and the prescaler must be supplied by the internal shift clock of the shift register.
The modulator can be started with the start of the shift register (SIR = 0) and stopped either by a shift register stop (SIR = 1) or compare match event of stage 1 of Timer 2. For this task, the Timer 2 must be used in mode 3 and the prescaler stage must be sup­plied by the internal shift clock of the shift register.

Timer 3 Compare- and Compare-mode Register

Timer 3 Compare-Mode Register 1 (T3CM1)

Timer 3 has two separate compare registers T3CO1 and T3CO2 for the 8-bit stage of Timer 3. The timer compares the content of the comp are register with the current counter value. If both match, it generates a signal. This signal can be used for the counter reset, to gene ra te a ti me r interrupt, for toggling the outp ut flip-flop, as SSI clock or as clock for the next counter stage. For each compare register, a compare-mode reg­ister exists. These registe rs contain mas k bits to enable or disabl e the generati on of an interrupt, a counter reset, or an output toggling with the occurrence of a compare match of the corresponding compare register. The mask bits for activating the single-action mode can also be located in the compare mode registers. When assigned to the com­pare register a compare event will be suppressed.

SSI Peripheral Configuration The synchronous serial interfac e (SS I ) can be used either for serial communication with

external devices such as EEPROM s, shift regis ters, di splay dri vers, oth er microcont rol­lers, or as a means for generating and capturing on-chip serial streams of data. External data communication takes place via the Port 4 (BP4),a multi-functional port which can be software configured by writing the appropriate control word into the P4CR register. The SSI can be configured in any of the following ways:
1. 2-wire external interface for bi-directional data communication with one data ter­minal and one shift clock. The SSI uses the Port BP43 as a bi-directional serial data line (SD) and BP40 as shift clock line (SC).
2. 3-wire external interface for simultaneous input and output of serial data, with a serial input data terminal (SI), a serial output data terminal (SO) and a shift clock (SC). The SSI uses BP40 as shift clock (SC), while the serial data input (SI) is applied to BP43 (configured in P4CR as input!). Serial output data (SO) in this case is passed through to BP42 (configured in P4CR to T2O) via the Timer 2 output stage (T2M2 configured in mode 6).

3. Timer/SSI combined modes – the SSI used together with Timer 2 or Timer 3 is capable of performing a variety of data modulation and demodulation functions (see Timer Section). The modulating data is converted by the SSI into a continu­ous serial stream of data which is in turn modulated in one of the timer functional blocks. Serial demodulated data can be serially captured in the SSI and read by the controller. In the Timer 3 modes 10 and 11 (demodulation modes) the SSI can only be used as demodulator.
4. Internal Multi-Chip Link pads (MCL) – the SSI can also be used as an interchip data interface for use in single package multi-chip modules or hybrids. For such applications, the SSI is provided with two dedicated pads (MCL_SD and MCL_SC) which act as a two-wire chip-to-chip link. The internal MCL can be activated by the MCL control bit. Should these MCL pads be used by the SSI, the standard SD and SC pins are not required and the corresponding Port 4 ports are available as conventional data ports.

General SSI Operation The SSI is c ompri sed e ssent ially of an 8-bit shift regi ster wi th tw o assoc iated 8-bit b uff-

ers –
the receive buffer (SRB) for capturing the inc oming serial data and a transmit
buffer (STB) for inter mediate storag e of data to be seria lly output. Both buf fers are directly accessa ble by software. T ransferri ng the parall el buffer data in to and out of the shift register is controlled automatically by the SSI control, so that both single byte trans­fers or continuous bit streams can be supported.
The SSI can generate the shift clock (SC) either from one of several on-chip clock sources or accept an external clock. The external shift clock is output on, or applied to the Port BP40. Selection of an external clock source is per formed by the Ser ial Clock Direction control bit (SCD). In the combinational modes, the required clock is selected by the corresponding timer mode.
The SSI can opera te in thr ee data tra nsfer modes –
synchronous 8-bit shift mode, a 9-
bit Multi-Chip Link Mode (MCL), containing 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge, and a cor­responding 8-bit MCL mode without acknowledge. In both MCL mod es the data transmission begins after a valid start condition and ends with a valid stop condition.
External SSI clocking is not supported in these modes. The SSI should thus generate and has full control over the shift clock so that it can always be regarded as an MCL Bus Master device.
4552B–4BMCU–02/03

All directional contr ol of the external data port used by the SSI is handled automatical ly and is dependent on the transmission direction set by the Serial Data Direction (SDD) control bit. This control bit defines whether the SSI is currently operating in Transmit (TX) mode or Receive (RX) mode.
Serial data is orga nize d in 8-bi t telegram s w hich a re sh ifted wi th the m ost si gnifica nt bit first. In the 9-bit MCL mode, an additional acknowledge bit is appended to the end of the telegram for handshaking purposes (see MCL protocol).
At the beginning of every telegram, the SSI control loads the transmit buffer into the shift register and proceed s immed iately to shift data serial ly ou t. At th e sam e time, inco ming data is shifted into the shift register input. This inc oming data is automatical ly loaded into the receive buffer when the complete telegram has been received. Thus, data can be simultaneously rece iv ed and tra ns mi tted if require d.
Before data can be transferred, the SSI must first be activated. This is performed by means of the SSI reset control (SIR) bit. Al l further operati on then depends on the data directional mode (TX/RX) and the p resent status of the SSI buffer reg isters shown by the Serial Inte rface Ready Status Flag (SRDY). This SRDY flag indicate s the (empty/full) status of either the transmit buffer (in TX mode), or the receive buffer (in RX mode). The control logic ensures that data shifting is temporarily halted at any time, if the appropriate receive/transmit buffer is not ready (SRDY = 0). The SRDY status will then automatica lly be set bac k to ‘1’ an d data shi fting resu med as so on as the ap plica­tion software loads the new data into the transmit register (in TX mode) or frees the shift register by reading it into the receive buffer (in RX mode).
A further activity status (ACT) bit indicates the present status of the serial communica­tion. The ACT bit remains high for the duration of the serial telegram or if MCL stop or start conditions are currently being generated. Both the current SRDY and ACT status can be read in the SSI status register. To deactivate the SSI, the SIR bit must be set high.

In the 8-bit sync hronous mode, the SSI can operat e as e ither a 2 - or 3-wir e inte rface (see SSI peripheral configuration). The serial data (SD) is received or transmitted in NRZ format, synchronized to either the risin g or fallin g edge of the sh ift clo ck (SC). The choice of clock edge is defined by the Serial Mode Control bits (SM0,SM1). It should be noted that
the transmission edge refers to the SC clock edge with which the SD
changes. To avoid clo ck s ke w prob lems, the incoming serial input d a ta is sh ifte d i n wi th the opposite edge.
When used together with one of the timer modulator or demodulator stages, the SSI must be set in the 8-bit synchronous mode 1.

In RX mode, as soon as the SS I is activ at ed ( SI R = 0 ), 8 sh ift c lock s are ge ner ate d an d the incoming serial data is shifted into the shift register. This first telegram is automati­cally transferred into the receive buffer and the SRDY set to 0 indicating that the receive buffer contains valid data. At the same time an interrupt (if enabled) is generated. The SSI then continues shifting in the fo llowing 8- bit telegram . If, during this t ime the first telegram has been read by the controller, the second telegram will also be transferred in the same way into th e receive buffer a nd the SSI wil l contin ue cl ocking in th e next tel e­gram. Should, however, the first telegram not have been read (SRDY = 1), then the SSI will stop, temporarily holding the second telegram in the shift register until a certain point of time when the controller is able to service the receive buffer. In this way no data is lost or overwritten.
Deactivating t he S SI (SI R = 1) in mid- tele gram will i mmed iatel y s top th e sh ift c loc k an d latch the present contents of the shift register into the receive buffer. This can be used for clocking in a data telegram of less than 8 bits in length. Care should be taken to read out the final co mplet e 8-bi t data tele gram of a mul tiple word m ess age b efore d eacti vat­ing the SSI (SIR = 1) and terminating the reception. After termination, the shift register contents will overwrite the receiv e buffer .

9-bit Shift Mode (MCL) In the 9-bit shi ft mode, the SSI is able to han dle the MCL protocol described below. It

always operates as an MCL ma ster d evice, i.e ., SC is alw ays gene rated a nd outpu t by the SSI. Both the MCL sta rt a nd s top co nditi ons are auto matical ly genera ted w hen ever the SSI is activa ted or d eac tiv at ed by the SI R-bit . In ac c ordanc e wit h th e MCL protocol, the output data is always changed in the clock low phase and shifted in on the high phase.
Before activati ng the SSI (S IR = 0) and com mencing an MCL dialog , the appropr iate data direction for the first word must be set using the SDD control bit. The state of this bit controls the direction of the data port (BP43 or MCL_SD). Once started, the 8 data bits are, depending on the selected direction, either clocked into or out of the shift regis­ter. During the 9th clock period, the por t direct ion is automa tical ly switc hed ov er so th at the corresponding acknowledge bit can be shifted out or read in. In transmit mode, the acknowledge bit received from the device is captured in the SSI Status Register (TACK) where it can be read by the controller. In receive mode, the state of the acknowledge bit to be returned to the device is predetermined by the SSI Status Register (RACK).
Changing the directional mode (TX/RX) should not be performed during the transfer of an MCL telegram. One should wait u ntil the en d of t he telegram whic h ca n be d etecte d using the SSI interrupt (IFN = 1) or by interrogating the ACT status.
Once started, a 9-bit te legram wi ll al ways run to c ompl etion a nd will not be pre maturely terminated by the SIR bit. So, if the SIR-bit is set to "1" in telegram, the SSI will complete the current transfer and terminate the dialog with an MCL stop condition.

8-bit Pseudo MCL Mode In this mode, the SSI exhibits all the typical MCL operational features except for the

acknowledge-bit which is never expected or transmitted.

MCL Bus Protocol The MCL protoco l constitu tes a simple 2-wir e bi-direc tional com munication hig hway via

which devices can commu nica te cont rol a nd data i nform ation. Altho ugh the M CL pro to­col can support multi-master bu s configurations, the S SI in MCL mode is in tended for use purely as a master controller on a single master bus system. So all reference to multiple bus control and bus contention will be omitted at this point.
All data is packaged into 8-bit telegrams plus a trailing handshaking or acknowledge-bit. Normally the communication channel is opened with a so-called start condition, which initializes all devices connected to the bus. This is then followed by a data telegram, transmitted by the m aster controller device. T his telegram u sually co ntains an 8-bi t address code to activate a single slave device connected onto the MCL bus. Each slave receives this addr ess and com pares it with its own unique add ress. The addr essed slave device, if read y to receiv e data, will re spond by pul ling the SD line low during the 9th clock pulse. This represents a so-called MCL acknowledge. The controller detecting this affirmative acknowledge then opens a connection to the required slave. Data can then be passed back and forth by the master controller, each 8-bit telegram being acknowledged by the respective recipient. The communication is finally closed by the master device and the slave device put back into standby by applying a stop condition onto the bus.

SSI Interrupt The SSI interrupt INT3 can be generated either by an SSI buffer register status (i.e.,

transmit buffer emp ty or receiv e buffer full), th e end of SSI dat a telegra m or on the fall­ing edge of the SC/SD pins on Port 4 (see P4CR). SSI interrupt selection is performed by the Interrupt F unctioN contr ol bi t (IFN) . Th e SSI in terr upt is u suall y used to synchr o­nize the software control of the SSI and inform the controller of the present SSI status. The Port 4 in terrupts can be used to gether with the SSI or, i f the SSI its elf is not required, as additiona l external inter rupt so urces. In ei ther c ase this interru pt is cap able of waking the controller out of sleep mode.
To enable and select the SSI relevant interrupts use the SSI interrupt mask (SIM) and the Interrupt Functi on (IF N) while the Port 4 interr upts ar e enab led by s etting ap prop ri­ate control bits in P4CR register.

Modulation and Demodulation If the shift register is used together with Timer 2 or Timer 3 for modulation or demodula-

tion purposes, the 8-bi t synchron ous mo de mus t be used. In this cas e, the un used P ort 4 pins can be used as conventional bi-directional ports.
The modulation and demodulation stages, if enabled, operate as soon as the SSI is acti­vated (SIR = 0) and cease when deactivated (SIR = 1).
Due to the byte-orientated data control, the SSI (when running normally) generates serial bit streams which are submultiples of 8 bits. An SSI output masking (OMSK) func­tion permits; h owever, the gener ation of b it stream s of any length . The OMS K signal is derived indirectly from the 4-bit prescaler of the Timer 2 and masks out a programmable number of unrequired trailing data bits during the shifting out of the final data word in the bit stream. The number of non-masked data bits is defined by the value pre-pro­grammed in the presca ler c omp ar e regi ste r. To use outp ut ma sk in g, the modu la tor sto p mode bit (MSM) must be set to "0" be fore prog rammi ng the final data wor d into th e SSI transmit buffer. This in tu rn, enabl es shif t clock s to the p rescal er when th is final word is shifted out. On reaching the compare value, the prescaler triggers the OMSK signal and all following data bits are blanked.

Internal 2-wire Multi-chip Link Two additional on-chip pads (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) for the SC and the SD line can be

used as chip-to-chip link for multi-chip applications. These pads can be activated by set­ting the MCL-bit in the SISC-register.

In Transmit mode (SDD = 1) shifting starts only if the transmit buffer has been loaded (SRDY = 1).
Setting SIR-bit loads the contents of the shift register into the receive buffer (synchronous 8-bit mode only).
In MCL modes, writing a 0 to SIR generates a start condition and writing a 1 generates a stop condi tion.

Combination Modes The UTCM consists of two timers (Timer 2 an d Timer 3) and a ser ial interfa ce. Th ere is

a multitude of modes in which the timers and serial interface can work together. The 8-bit wide serial interface operates as shift register for modulation and demodula-
tion. The modulator and demodulator units work together with the timers and shi ft the data bits into or out of the shift register.

each edge at the input. These edges are evaluated by the demodulator stage. The timer stage is used to gene rate the sh ift clock for the SSI. A compare r egister 1 match even t defines the correct moment for shifting the state from the input T3I as the decoded bit into shift register. Af ter that, the dem odulat or waits for the next ed ge to syn chroni ze the timer by a reset for the next bit. The c ompare reg ister 2 ca n be used to detec t a time error and handle it with an interrupt routine.

Before activating the demodulator mode the timer and the demodulator stage must be synchronized with t he bits tream. T he M ancheste r co de tim ing c onsists o f p arts wit h th e half bitlength and the complete bitlength. A synchronization routine must start the demodulator after an interval with the complete bitlength.
The counter can be driven by any internal clock source. The output T3O can be used by Timer 2 in this mode. The Manchester decoder can also be used for pulse-width demod­ulation. The input must programmed to detect the positive edge. The demodulator and timer must be synchroni zed with the lea ding edge of the pulse. After that a counter match with the compare register 1 shifts the state at the inp ut T3I into the shift reg ister. The next positive edge at the input restarts the timer.

Microcontroller Block The microc ont ro ll er bl ock i s a mu lti ch ip devic e whi ch offe rs a com bi nati on of a MA RC4-

based microcontroller and a serial E2PROM data memory in a single package. A micro­controller is used and as s erial E2 PRO M the U 505M .

Th e maximum i nternal data comm unicati on fre­quency between the microcontroller block and the U505M over the chip link (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) is f
The microcontroller and the EEPROM portions of this multi-chip device are equivalent to their respective individual component chips, except for the electrical specification.

Internal 2-wire Multi-chip Link Two additional on-chip pads (MCL_SC and MCL_SD) for the SC and the SD line can be

used as chip-to-chip link for multi-chip applications. These pads can be activated by set­ting the MCL-bit in the SISC-register.

Serial Interface The U505M has a two-wire serial interface (TWI) to the microcontroller for read and

write accesses to the EEPROM. The U505M is considered to be a slave in all these applications. That mean s, the controller has to be the mas ter that initiates the data transfer and provides the clock for transmit and receive operations.
The serial interface is contr olled by the mic rocont roller block whi ch ge nerates th e seria l clock and controls the access via the SCL-line and SDA-line. SCL is used to clock the data into and out of the device. SDA is a bi-directional line that is used to transfer data into and out of the device. The following protocol is used for the data transfers.

Serial Protocol Data states on the SDA-line changing only while SCL is low.

Changes on the SDA-line while SCL is high are interpreted as START or STOP condition.
A START condition is defined as high to low transition on the SDA-line while the SCL-line is high.
A STOP condition is defined as low to high transition on the SDA-line while the SCL­line is high.
Each data transfer must be initialized with a STAR T condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The STAR T condition wakes the device from standby mode and the STOP condition returns the device to standby mode.
A receiving device generates an acknowledge (A) after the reception of each byte. This requires an additional clock pulse, generated by the master. If the reception was successful the receiving master or slave device pulls down the SDA-line during that clock cycle. If an acknowledge is not detected (N) by the interface in transmit mode, it will terminate further data transmissions and go into receive mode. A master device must finish its read operation by a non-acknowledge and then send a stop condition to bring the device into a known state.

EEPROM The EEPROM has a size of 512 bits and is organized as 32 x 16-bit matrix. To read and

write data to and from the EEPROM the serial interface must be used. The interface supports one and two byte write accesses and one to n-byte read accesses to the EEPROM.

EEPROM – Operating Modes The operatin g modes of the EEPROM are defined via the control b yt e. The control byte

contains the row address, the mode control bits and the read/not-write bit that is used to control the direction of the following transfer . A "0" defines a write acc ess and a "1" a read access. The five address bits select one of the 32 rows of the EEPROM memory to be accessed. For all accesses the c omplete 16-bit word of the se lected row is loaded into a buffer. The buffer must be read or overwritten via the serial interface. The two mode control bits C1 and C2 define in which order the accesses to the buffer are per­formed: High byte – low byte or low byte – high byte. The EEPROM also supports autoincrement and autodecrement read operations. After sending the start address with the corresponding mode, consecutive memory cells can be read row by row without transmission of the row addresses.
Two special con trol bytes enable the complete i nitializat ion of EEP ROM with " 0" or with "1".
91
4552B–4BMCU–02/03

Write Operations The EEPROM permits 8-bit and 16-bit write operations. A write acces s starts with the

START conditio n followed by a writ e control byte an d one or two data by tes from the master. It is completed via the STOP condition from the master after the acknowledge cycle.
The programming cycle consists of an erase cycle (write "zeros") and the write cycle (write "ones"). Both cycles together take about 10 ms.

Acknowledge Polling If the EEPROM is busy with an internal write cycle, all inputs are disabled and the

EEPROM will not acknowle dge until the write cyc le is finished. T his can be used to detect the end of the write cycle. The maste r must perform acknowledge polling by sending a start condition followed by the control byte. If the device is still busy with the write cycle, it will not return an acknowledge and the master has to generate a stop con­dition or perform further acknowledge polling sequences. If the cy cle is complete, it returns an acknowledge and the master can proceed with the next read or write cycle.

Read Operations The EEP ROM allows byte- , word- and cu rren t address read opera tions . The read ope r-

ations are initiated in the same way as write operations. Every read access is initiated by sending the START condition followed by the control byte which contains the address and the read mode. When the device has received a read command, it returns an acknowledge, l oads the addresse d word into the rea d/write buffer an d sends the selected data byte to the m aster . The ma ster has to acknow ledge th e rec eived byt e if it wants to proceed the read operation. If two bytes are read out from the buffer the device increments respectively decrements the word address automatically and loads the buffer with the next wo rd. The read mod e bits de termi nes if th e low o r high b yte is r ead first from the buffer and if t he word address is increm ented or decrem ented for the next

The EEPROM with the serial interface has its own reset circuitry. In systems with micro­controllers that have their own rese t circuitry for power -on reset, watc hdog reset or brown-out reset, it may be necessary to bring the U505M into a known state indepen­dent of its internal reset. This is performed by writing:
