INTRODUCTION (Cont’d)

OTP and EPROM devices are functionally identi­cal. TheROM based versions offer the same func­tionality selecting as ROM options the options de­fined in the programmable option byte of the
OTP/EPROM versions.OTP devices offer all the
advantages of user programmability at low cost,
which make them the ideal choice in a wide range
of applications where frequent code changes, mul­tiple code versions or last minute programmability
are required.

Figure 2. ST62T32B/E32B Pin Configuration

These compact low-cost devices feature a Timer
comprising an 8-bit counter and a 7-bit program­mable prescaler, an 16-bit Auto-Reload Timer,
with 2 input capture channels, EEPROM data ca­pability, a serial synchronous port communication
interface (SPI), a serial asynchronous port inter­face (UART), an 8-bit A/D Converter with 21 ana­log inputs and a Digital Watchdog timer, making
them well suited for a wide range of automotive,
appliance and industrial applications.

Power is supplied to the
MCUA/D converter independently from the rest of
the chip using these two pins.

OSCin and OSCout. These pins are internally
connected to the on-chip oscillator circuit. A quartz
crystal, a ceramic resonator or an external clock
signal can be connected between these two pins.
The OSCin pin is the input pin, the OSCout pin is
the output pin.

RESET

. The active-low RESET pin is used to re-

start the microcontroller.
TEST/VPP. The TEST must be held at VSSfor nor-

mal operation. If TEST pin is connected to a
+12.5V level during the reset phase, the
EPROM/OTP programming Mode is entered.

1.3 MEMORY MAP

1.3.1 Introduction

The MCU operates in three separate memory
spaces: Program space, Data space, and Stack
space. Operation in these three memory spaces is
described in the following paragraphs.

Briefly, Program space contains user program
code in Program memory and user vectors; Data
space contains user data in RAM and in Program
memory, and Stack space accommodates six lev­els of stack for subroutine and interrupt service
routine nesting.

1.3.2 Program Space

Program Space comprises the instructions to be
executed, the data required for immediate ad­dressing mode instructions, the reserved factory
test area and the user vectors. Program Space is
addressed via the 12-bit Program Counter register
(PC register).

Program Space is organised in four 2K pages.
Three of them are addressed in the 000h-7FFh lo­cations of the Program Space by the Program
Counter and by writing the appropriate code in the
Program ROM Page Register (PRPR register). A

common (STATIC) 2K page is available all the
time for interrupt vectors and common subrou­tines, independently of the PRPR register content.
This “STATIC” page is directly addressed in the
0800h-0FFFh by the MSB of the Program Counter
register PC 11. Note this page can also be ad­dressed in the 000-7FFh range. It is two different
ways of addressing the same physical memory.

Jump from a dynamic page to another dynamic
page is achieved by jumping back to the static
page, changing contents of PRPR and then jump­ing to the new dynamic page.

Table 1. ST62E32B/T32B Program Memory Map

Note: OTP/EPROM devices can be programmed

withthe development toolsavailablefrom STMicro­electronics (ST62E3X-EPB or ST623X-KIT).

1.3.2.1 Program ROM Page Register (PRPR)

The PRPR register can be addressed like a RAM
location in the Data Space at the address CAh ;
nevertheless it is a write only register that cannot
be accessed with single-bit operations. This regis­ter is used to select the 2-Kbyte ROM bank of the
Program Space that will be addressed. The
number of the page has to be loaded in the PRPR
register. Refer to the Program Space description
for additional information concerning the use of
this register. The PRPR register is not modified
when an interrupt or a subroutine occurs.

Care is required when handling the PRPR register
as it is write only. For this reason, it is not allowed
to change the PRPR contents while executing in­terrupt service routine, as the service routine
cannot save and then restore its previous content.
This operation may be necessary if common rou­tines and interrupt service routines take more than
2K bytes ; in this case it could be necessary to di­vide the interrupt service routine into a (minor) part
in the static page (start and end) and to a second
(major) part in one of the dynamic pages. If it is im­possible to avoid thewriting of this register in inter­rupt service routines, an image of this register
must be saved in a RAM location, and each time
the program writes to the PRPR it must write also
to the image register. The image register must be
written before PRPR, so if an interrpt occurs
between the two instructions the PRPR is not af­fected.

These two bits select the corresponding page to
be addressed in the lower part of the 4K program
address space as specified inTable 2.

This register is undefined on Reset. Neither read
nor single bit instructions may be used to address
this register.

1.3.2.2 Program Memory Protection

The Program Memory in OTP or EPROM devices
can be protected against external readout of mem­ory by selecting the READOUT PROTECTION op­tion in the option byte.

In the EPROM parts, READOUT PROTECTION
option can be disactivated only by U.V. erasure
that also results into the whole EPROM context
erasure.

Note: Once the Readout Protection is activated, it
is no longer possible, even for STMicroelectronics,
to gain access to the Program memory contents.
Returned parts with a protection set can therefore
not be accepted.

MEMORY MAP (Cont’d)

1.3.3 Data Space

Data Space accommodates all the data necessary
for processing the user program. This space com­prises the RAM resource, the processor core and
peripheral registers, as well as read-only data
such as constants and look-up tables in Program
memory.

1.3.3.1 Data ROM

All read-only data is physically stored in program
memory, which also accommodates the Program
Space. The program memory consequently con­tains the program code to be executed, as well as
the constants and look-up tables required by the
application.

The Data Space locations in which the different
constants and look-up tables are addressed by the
processor core may be thought of as a 64-byte
window through which it is possible to access the
read-only data stored in Program memory.

1.3.3.2 Data RAM/EEPROM

In ST6232B and ST62E32B devices, the data
space includes 60 bytes of RAM, the accumulator
(A), the indirect registers (X), (Y), the short direct
registers (V), (W), the I/O port registers, the pe­ripheral data and control registers, the interrupt
option register and the Data ROM Window register
(DRW register).

Additional RAM and EEPROM pages can also be
addressed using banks of 64 bytes located
between addresses 00h and 3Fh.

1.3.4 Stack Space

Stack space consists of six 12-bit registers which
are used to stack subroutine and interrupt return
addresses, as well as the current program counter
contents.

1.3.5 Data Window Register (DWR)

The Dataread-only memory window is locatedfrom
address 0040h to address 007Fh in Data space. It
allows direct reading of 64 consecutive bytes locat­ed anywhere in program memory, between ad­dress 0000h and 1FFFh (top memory address de­pends on the specific device). All the program
memory can therefore be used to store either in­structions or read-only data. Indeed, the window
can be moved in steps of 64 bytes along the pro­grammemory by writingtheappropriate codeinthe
Data Window Register (DWR).

The DWRcan be addressed like any RAM location
in the Data Space, it is however a write-only regis­ter and therefore cannot be accessed using single­bit operations. This register is used to position the
64-byte read-only data window (from address 40h
to address 7Fh of the Data space) in program
memory in 64-byte steps. The effective address of
the byte to be read as data in program memory is
obtained by concatenating the 6 least significant
bits of the register address given in the instruction
(as least significant bits) and the content of the
DWR register (as most significantbits), as illustrat­ed in Figure 6below. For instance, when address­ing location 0040h of the Data Space, with 0 load­ed in the DWR register, the physical location ad­dressed in program memory is 00h. The DWR reg­ister is not cleared on reset, therefore it must be
written to prior tothe first access to the Data read­only memory window area.

Data Window Register (DWR)

Address: 0C9h — Write Only

Bits 7 = Not used.
Bit 6-0 =

Window Register Bits.

These are the Data read­only memory Window bits that correspond to the
upper bits of the data read-only memory space.

Caution:

This register is undefined on reset. Nei­ther read nor single bit instructions may beused to
address this register.

Note:

Care is required when handling the DWR
register as it is write only. For this reason, the
DWR contents should not be changed while exe­cuting an interrupt service routine, as the service
routine cannot save and then restore the register’s
previous contents. If it is impossible to avoid writ­ing to theDWR during the interrupt service routine,
an image of the register must be saved in a RAM
location, and each time the program writes to the
DWR, it must also write to the image register. The
image register must be written first so that, if an in­terrupt occurs between the two instructions, the
DWR is not affected.

The selection of the bank ismade byprogramming

the Data RAM Bank Switch register (DRBR regis­ter) located at address CBh of the Data Space ac­cording to Table 1. No more than one bank should
be set at a time.

The DRBR register can be addressed like a RAM
Data Space at the address CBh; nevertheless it is
a write only register that cannot be accessed with
single-bit operations. This register is used to select
the desired 64-byte RAM/EEPROM bank of the
Data Space. The number of banks has to be load­ed in the DRBR register and the instruction has to

point to the selected location as if it was in bank 0
(from 00h address to 3Fh address).

This register is not cleared during the MCU initiali­zation, therefore it must be written before the first
access to the Data Space bank region. Refer to
the Data Space description for additional informa­tion. The DRBR register is not modified when an
interrupt or a subroutine occurs.

Notes :
Care isrequired when handling the DRBR register

as it is write only. For this reason, it is not allowed
to change the DRBR contents while executing in­terrupt service routine, as the service routine can­not save and then restore its previous content. If it
is impossible to avoid the writing of this register in
interrupt service routine, an image of this register
must be saved in a RAM location, and each time
the program writes to DRBR it must write also to
the image register. The image register must be
written first, so if an interrupt occurs between the
two instructions the DRBR is not affected.

In DRBR Register, only 1 bit must be set. Other­wise two or more pages are enabled in parallel,
producing errors.

1.3.7 EEPROM Description

EEPROM memory is located in 64-byte pages in
data space. This memory may be used by the user
program for non-volatile data storage.

Data space from 00h to 3Fh is paged as described
in Table 6. EEPROM locations are accessed di­rectly by addressing these paged sections of data
space.

The EEPROM does not require dedicated instruc­tions for read orwriteaccess.Once selected via the
Data RAM Bank Register, the active EEPROM
page is controlled bythe EEPROM Control Regis­ter (EECTL), which is described below.

BitE20FF oftheEECTLregister mustbereset prior
to any write or read access to the EEPROM. If no
bank hasbeenselected, orifE2OFF is set,any ac­cess is meaningless.

Programming must be enabled by setting the
E2ENA bit of the EECTL register.

The E2BUSYbit of the EECTL register is setwhen
the EEPROM is performing a programming cycle.
Any access to the EEPROM when E2BUSY is set
is meaningless.

Provided E2OFF and E2BUSY are reset, an EEP­ROM location is read just like any other data loca­tion, also in terms of access time.

Writing to the EEPROM may be carried out in two
modes: Byte Mode (BMODE) and Parallel Mode

(PMODE). In BMODE, one byte is accessed at a
time, while in PMODE up to 8 bytes in the same
row are programmed simultaneously (with conse­quent speed and power consumption advantages,
the latter being particularly important in battery
powered circuits).

General Notes:
Data should be written directly to the intended ad-

dress in EEPROM space. There is no buffer mem­ory between data RAM and the EEPROM space.

When the EEPROM is busy (E2BUSY = “1”)
EECTL cannot be accessed in write mode, it is
only possible to read the status of E2BUSY. This
implies that as long as the EEPROM is busy, it is
not possible to change the status of the EEPROM
Control Register. EECTL bits 4 and 5 are reserved
and must never be set.

Care is requiredwhen dealing with the EECTL reg­ister, as some bits are write only. For this reason,
the EECTL contents must not be altered while ex­ecuting an interrupt service routine.

If it is impossible to avoid writing to this register
within an interrupt service routine, an image of the
register must be saved in a RAM location, and
each time the program writes to EECTL it must
also writeto the image register. The image register
must be written to first so that, if an interrupt oc­curs between the two instructions, the EECTL will
not be affected.

Additional Notes on Parallel Mode:

If the user wishes to perform parallel program­ming, the first step should be to set the E2PAR2
bit. From this time on, the EEPROM will be ad­dressed in write mode, the ROW address will be
latched and it will be possible to change it only at
the end of the programming cycle, or by resetting
E2PAR2 without programming the EEPROM. Af­ter the ROW address is latched, the MCU can only
“see” the selected EEPROM row and any attempt
to write or read other rows will produce errors.

The EEPROM should not be read while E2PAR2
is set.

As soon as the E2PAR2 bit is set, the 8 volatile
ROW latches are cleared. From this moment on,
the user can load data in all or in part of the ROW.
Setting E2PAR1 will modify the EEPROM regis­ters corresponding to the ROW latches accessed
after E2PAR2. For example, if the software sets
E2PAR2 and accesses the EEPROM by writing to
addresses 18h, 1Ah and 1Bh, and then sets
E2PAR1, these three registers will be modified si­multaneously; the remaining bytes in the row will
be unaffected.

Note that E2PAR2 is internally reset at the end of
the programming cycle. This implies that the user
must set the E2PAR2 bit between two parallel pro­gramming cycles. Note that if the user tries to set
E2PAR1 while E2PAR2 is not set, there will be no
programming cycle and theE2PAR1 bit will be un­affected. Consequently, the E2PAR1 bit cannot be
set if E2ENA is low. The E2PAR1 bit can be set by
the user, only if the E2ENA and E2PAR2 bits are
also set.

OnceinParallelMode,assoonastheusersoftware

the end of the programming procedure. Note that
less than 8 bytes can bewritten ifrequired, the un­defined bytes being unaffected by the parallel pro­gramming cycle; this is explained in greater detail in
the Additional Notes on Parallel Mode overleaf.

Bit 2 = E2PAR2:

Parallel Mode En. Bit.

WRITE
ONLY. This bit must be setby the user program in
order to perform parallel programming. If E2PAR2
is set and the parallel start bit (E2PAR1) is reset,
up to 8 adjacent bytes can be written simultane­ously. These 8 adjacent bytes are considered as a
row, whose address lines A7, A6, A5, A4, A3 are
fixed while A2, A1andA0 arethe changing bits, as
illustrated in Table 6. E2PAR2 is automatically re­set at the end of any parallel programming proce­dure. It can be reset by the user software before
starting the programming procedure, thus leaving
the EEPROM registers unchanged.

Bit 1 = E2BUSY:

EEPROM Busy Bit.

READ ON­LY. This bit is automatically set by the EEPROM
control logic when the EEPROM is in program­ming mode. The user program should test it before
any EEPROM read or write operation; any attempt
to access the EEPROM while the busy bit is set
will be aborted and the writing procedure in
progress will be completed.

Bit 0 =

E2ENA

:

EEPROM Enable Bit.

WRITE ON­LY. This bit enables programming of the EEPROM
cells. It must be set before any write to the EEP­ROM register. Any attempt to write to the EEP­ROM when E2ENA is low is meaningless and will
not trigger a write cycle.

1.4 PROGRAMMING MODES

1.4.1 Option Byte

The Option Byte allows configuration capability to
the MCUs. Option byte’s content is automatically
read, and the selected options enabled, when the
chip reset is activated.

It can only be accessed during the programming
mode. This access is made either automatically
(copy from a master device) or by selecting the
OPTION BYTE PROGRAMMING mode ofthe pro­grammer.

The option byte is located in a non-user map. No
address has to be specified.

EPROM Code Option Byte

Bit 7. Reserved.
Bit 6 =

PORT PULL

. This bit must be set high to
have pull-up input state at reset on the I/O port.
When this bit is low, I/O ports are in input without
pull-up (high impedance) state at reset

Bit 5 =

EXTCNTL

. This bit selects the External
STOP Mode capability. When EXTCNTL is high,
pin NMI controls if the STOP mode can be ac­cessed when the watchdog is active. When EXTC­NTL is low, the STOP instruction is processed as a
WAIT as soon as the watchdog is active.

Bit 4 = PROTECT. This bit allows the protection of
the software contents against piracy. When the bit
PROTECT is set high, readout of the OTP con­tents is prevented by hardware. No programming
equipment is able to gain access to the user pro­gram. When this bit is low, the user program can
be read.

Bit 3 =TIM PULL.This bit must be set high tocon­figure the TIMER pin with a pull up resistor. When
it is low, no pull up is provided.

Bit 2 =NMI PULL. This bit mustbe set high tocon­figure the NMI pin with a pull up resistor when it is
low, no pull up is provided.

Bit 1 = WDACT. This bit controls the watchdog ac­tivation. When it is high, hardware activation is se­lected. The software activation is selected when
WDACT is low.

Bit 0 =OSGEN.This bit must be set high to enable
the oscillator Safe Guard. When this bit is low, the
OSG is disabled.

The Option byte is written during programming ei­ther by using the PC menu (PC driven Mode) or
automatically (stand-alone mode)

1.4.2 Program Memory

EPROM/OTP programming mode is set by a
+12.5V voltage applied to the TEST/VPPpin. The
programming flow of the ST62T32B/E32B is de­scribed in the User Manual of the EPROM Pro­gramming Board.

The MCUs can be programmed with the
ST62E3xB EPROM programming tools available
from STMicroelectronics.

1.4.3 EEPROM Data Memory

EEPROM data pages are supplied in the virgin
state FFh. Partial or total programming of EEP­ROM data memory can be performed either
through the application software, or through an ex­ternal programmer. Any STMicroelectronics tool
used for the program memory (OTP/EPROM) can
also be used to program the EEPROM data mem­ory.

1.4.4 EPROM Erasing

The EPROM of the windowed package of the
MCUs may be erased by exposure to Ultra Violet
light. The erasure characteristic of the MCUs is
such that erasure begins when the memory is ex­posed to light with a wave lengths shorter than ap­proximately 4000Å. It should be noted that sun­lights and some types of fluorescent lamps have
wavelengths in the range 3000-4000Å.

It is thus recommended that the window of the
MCUs packages becovered by an opaque label to
prevent unintentional erasure problems when test­ing the application in such an environment.

The recommended erasure procedure of the
MCUs EPROM is the exposure to short wave ul­traviolet light which have a wave-length 2537A.
The integrated dose (i.e. U.V. intensity x exposure
time) for erasure should be a minimum of 15W­sec/cm2. The erasure time with this dosage is ap­proximately 15 to 20 minutes using an ultraviolet
lamp with 12000µW/cm2power rating. The
ST62E32B should be placed within 2.5cm (1Inch)
of the lamp tubes during erasure.

2 CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The CPUCoreofST6devicesisindependent ofthe
I/O or Memory configuration. As such, it may be
thought of as an independent central processor
communicating with on-chip I/O, Memory and Pe­ripherals via internal address, data, and control
buses. In-core communication is arranged as
shown in Figure 7; the controller being externally
linked to both the Reset and Oscillator circuits,
while the core islinked to the dedicated on-chip pe­ripherals via the serial data bus and indirectly, for
interrupt purposes, through the control registers.

2.2 CPU REGISTERS

TheST6FamilyCPUcorefeaturessixregistersand
three pairs of flags available to the programmer.
These are described in the following paragraphs.

Accumulator (A). The accumulator is an 8-bit
general purpose register used in all arithmetic cal­culations, logical operations, and data manipula­tions. The accumulator can be addressed in Data
space asa RAM location ataddress FFh. Thus the
ST6 can manipulate the accumulator just like any
other register in Data space.

Indirect Registers (X, Y).These two indirect reg­isters are used as pointers to memory locations in
Data space. They are used in the register-indirect
addressing mode. These registers can be ad­dressed in the data space as RAM locations at ad­dresses 80h (X) and 81h (Y). They can also be ac­cessed with the direct, shortdirect, or bit direct ad­dressing modes. Accordingly, the ST6 instruction
set can use the indirect registers as any other reg­ister of the data space.

Short Direct Registers (V, W).These two regis­ters are used to save a byte in short direct ad­dressing mode. They can be addressed in Data
space as RAM locations at addresses 82h (V) and
83h (W). They can also be accessed using the di­rect and bit direct addressing modes. Thus, the
ST6 instruction set can use the short direct regis­ters as any other register of the data space.

Program Counter (PC). The program counter is a
12-bit register which contains the address of the
next ROM location to be processed by the core.
This ROM location may be an opcode, an oper­and, or the address of an operand. The 12-bit
length allows the direct addressing of 4096 bytes
in Program space.

CPU REGISTERS (Cont’d)

However, ifthe program space contains more than
4096 bytes, the additional memory in program
space can be addressed by using the Program
Bank Switch register.

The PC value is incremented after reading the ad­dress of the current instruction. To execute relative
jumps, the PC and the offset are shifted through
the ALU, where they are added; the result is then
shifted back into the PC. The program counter can
be changed in the following ways:

- JP (Jump) instructionPC=Jump address

- CALL instructionPC= Call address

- Relative Branch Instruction.PC= PC +/- offset

- Interrupt PC=Interrupt vector

- Reset PC= Reset vector

- RET & RETI instructionsPC= Pop (stack)

- Normal instructionPC= PC + 1

Flags (C, Z). The ST6 CPU includes three pairs of
flags (Carry and Zero), each pairbeing associated
with one of the three normal modes of operation:
Normal mode, Interrupt mode and Non Maskable
Interrupt mode. Each pair consists of a CARRY
flag and a ZERO flag. One pair (CN, ZN) is used
during Normal operation, another pair is used dur­ing Interrupt mode (CI, ZI), and a third pair is used
in the Non Maskable Interrupt mode (CNMI, ZN­MI).

The ST6 CPU uses the pair of flags associated
with the current mode: as soon as an interrupt (or
a Non Maskable Interrupt) is generated, the ST6
CPU uses the Interrupt flags (resp. the NMI flags)
instead of the Normal flags. When the RETI in­struction is executed, the previously used set of
flags is restored. It should be noted that each flag
set can only be addressed in its own context (Non
Maskable Interrupt, Normal Interrupt or Main rou­tine). The flags are not cleared during context
switching and thus retain their status.

The Carry flag is set when a carry or a borrow oc­curs during arithmetic operations; otherwise it is
cleared. The Carry flag is also set to the value of
the bit tested in a bit test instruction; it also partici­pates in the rotate left instruction.

The Zero flag is set if the result of the last arithme­tic or logical operation was equal to zero; other­wise it is cleared.

Switching between the three sets of flags is per­formed automatically when an NMI, an interrupt or
a RETI instructions occurs. As the NMI mode is

automatically selected after the reset of the MCU,
the ST6 core uses at first the NMI flags.

Stack. The ST6 CPU includes a true LIFO hard­ware stack which eliminates the need for a stack
pointer. The stack consists of six separate 12-bit
RAM locations that do not belong to the data
space RAM area. When a subroutine call (or inter­rupt request) occurs, the contents of each level are
shifted into the next higher level, while the content
of the PC is shifted into the first level (the original
contents of the sixth stack level are lost). When a
subroutine or interrupt return occurs (RETor RETI
instructions), the first level register is shifted back
into the PC and the value of each level is popped
back into the previous level. Since the accumula­tor, in common with all other data space registers,
is not stored in this stack, management of these
registers should be performed within the subrou­tine. The stack will remain in its “deepest” position
if more than 6 nested calls or interrupts are execut­ed, and consequently the last return address will
be lost. It will also remain in its highest position if
the stack is empty and a RET or RETI is executed.
In this case the next instruction will be executed.

3 CLOCKS, RESET, INTERRUPTS AND POWER SAVING MODES

3.1 CLOCK SYSTEM

The MCU features a Main Oscillator which can be
driven by an external clock, or used in conjunction
with an AT-cut parallel resonant crystal or a suita­ble ceramic resonator. In addition, a Low Frequen­cy Auxiliary Oscillator (LFAO) can be switched in
for security reasons, to reduce power consump­tion, or to offer the benefits of a back-up clock sys­tem.

The Oscillator Safeguard (OSG) option filters
spikes from the oscillator lines, provides access to
the LFAO to provide a backup oscillator in the
event of main oscillator failure and also automati­cally limits the internal clock frequency (f

INT

)asa
function ofVDD, in order to guarantee correct oper­ation. These functions are illustrated in Figure 10,

Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 13.

Figure 9 illustrates various possible oscillator con­figurations using anexternal crystalorceramic res­onator, anexternal clockinputorthelowestcostso­lution using onlytheLFAO.CL1an CL2should have
acapacitance intherange12to22pFforanoscillator
frequency in the 4-8 MHz range.

The internal MCU clock frequency (f

INT

) is divided
by 12 to drive the Timer and the Watchdog timer,
and by 13 to drive the CPU core, while the A/D
converter is driven by f

INT

divided either by 6 or by

12 as may be seen in Figure 12.
With an 8MHz oscillator frequency, thefastest ma-

chine cycle is therefore 1.625µs.
A machine cycleis the smallest unit oftime needed

toexecute any operation (for instance, to increment
the Program Counter). An instruction may require
two, four, or five machine cycles for execution.

3.1.1 Main Oscillator

The main oscillator can be turned off (when the
OSG ENABLED option is selected) by setting the
OSCOFF bit of the OSCR Control Register. The
Low Frequency Auxiliary Oscillator is automatical­ly started.

CLOCK SYSTEM (Cont’d)

Turning on the main oscillator is achieved by re­setting the OSCOFF bit of the OSCR Register or
by resetting the MCU. Restarting the main oscilla­tor implies a delay comprising the oscillator start
up delay period plus the duration of the software
instruction at f

LFAO

clock frequency.

3.1.2 Low Frequency Auxiliary Oscillator

(LFAO)

The Low Frequency Auxiliary Oscillator has three
main purposes. Firstly, it can be used to reduce
power consumption in non timing critical routines.
Secondly, it offers a fully integrated system clock,
without any external components. Lastly, it acts as
a safety oscillator in case of main oscillator failure.

This oscillator is available when the OSG ENA­BLED option is selected. In this case, it automati­cally starts one of its periods after the first missing
edge from the main oscillator, whatever the reason
(main oscillator defective, no clock circuitry provid­ed, main oscillator switched off...).

User code, normal interrupts, WAIT and STOP in­structions, are processed as normal, at the re­duced f

LFAO

frequency. The A/D converter accura­cy is decreased, since theinternal frequency isbe­low 1MHz.

At power on, the Low Frequency Auxiliary Oscilla­tor starts faster than the Main Oscillator. It there­fore feeds the on-chip counter generating thePOR
delay until the Main Oscillator runs.

The Low Frequency Auxiliary Oscillator is auto­matically switched off as soon as the main oscilla­tor starts.

3.1.3 Oscillator Safe Guard

The Oscillator Safe Guard (OSG) affords drastical­ly increased operational integrity in ST62xx devic­es. The OSG circuit provides three basic func­tions: it filters spikes from the oscillator lines which
would result in over frequency to the ST62 CPU; it
gives access to the Low Frequency Auxiliary Os­cillator (LFAO), used to ensure minimum process­ing in case of main oscillator failure, to offer re­duced power consumption or to provide a fixed fre­quency low cost oscillator; finally, it automatically
limits the internal clock frequency as a function of
supply voltage, in order to ensure correct opera­tion even if the power supply should drop.

The OSG is enabled or disabled by choosing the
relevant OSG option. It may be viewed as a filter
whose cross-over frequency is device dependent.

Spikes on the oscillator linesresult in aneffectively
increased internal clock frequency. In the absence
of an OSG circuit, this may lead to an over fre­quency for a given power supply voltage. The
OSG filters out such spikes (as illustrated in Fig­ure 10). In all cases, when the OSG is active, the
maximum internal clock frequency, f

INT

, is limited

to f

OSG

, which is supply voltage dependent. This

relationship is illustrated in Figure 13.
When the OSG is enabled, the Low Frequency

Auxiliary Oscillator may be accessed. This oscilla­tor starts operating after the first missing edge of
the main oscillator (see Figure 11).

Over-frequency, at a given power supply level, is
seen by the OSG as spikes; it therefore filters out
some cycles in order that the internal clock fre­quency of the device is kept within the range the
particular device can stand (depending on VDD),
and below f

OSG

: the maximum authorised frequen-

cy with OSG enabled.
Note. The OSGshould beused whereverpossible

as it provides maximum safety. Care must be tak­en, however, as it can increase power consump­tion and reduce the maximum operating frequency
to f

OSG

3.2 RESETS

The MCU can be reset in three ways:
– by the external Reset input being pulled low;
– by Power-on Reset;
– by the digital Watchdog peripheral timing out.

3.2.1 RESET Input

The RESET pin may be connected to a device of
the application board in order to reset the MCU if
required. The RESET pin may be pulled low in
RUN, WAIT or STOP mode. This input can be
used to reset the MCU internal state and ensure a
correct start-up procedure. The pin is active low
and features a Schmitt trigger input. The internal
Reset signal is generated by adding a delay to the
external signal. Therefore even short pulses on
the RESET pin are acceptable, provided VDDhas
completed its rising phase and that the oscillator is
running correctly (normal RUN or WAIT modes).
The MCU is kept in the Reset state as long as the
RESET pin is held low.

If RESET activation occurs in the RUN or WAIT
modes, processing of the user program is stopped
(RUN mode only), the Inputs and Outputs are con­figured as inputs with pull-up resistors and the
main Oscillator is restarted. When the level on the
RESET pin then goes high, the initialization se­quence is executed following expiry of the internal
delay period.

If RESET pin activation occurs in the STOP mode,
the oscillator starts up and all Inputs and Outputs
are configured as inputs with pull-up resistors.
When the level of theRESET pin then goes high,
the initialization sequence is executed following
expiry of the internal delay period.

3.2.2 Power-on Reset

The function of the POR circuit consists in waking
up the MCU at an appropriate stage during the
power-on sequence. At the beginning of this se­quence, the MCU is configured in the Reset state:
all I/O ports are configured as inputs with pull-up
resistors and no instruction is executed. When the
power supply voltage rises toa sufficient level, the
oscillator starts to operate, whereupon an internal
delay is initiated, in order to allow the oscillator to
fully stabilize before executing the first instruction.
The initialization sequence isexecuted immediate­ly following the internal delay.

The internal delay isgenerated byanon-chip coun­ter.The internal reset lineis released 2048 internal
clock cycles after release of the external reset.

Notes:

To ensure correct start-up, the user should take
care that the reset signal is notreleased before the
VDDlevel is sufficient to allow MCU operation at
the chosen frequency (see Recommended Oper­ating Conditions).

A proper reset signal for a slow rising VDDsupply
can generally be provided by an external RC net­work connected to theRESET pin.

3.2.3 Watchdog Reset

The MCU provides a Watchdog timer function in
order to ensure graceful recovery from software
upsets. If the Watchdog register is not refreshed
before an end-of-count condition is reached, the
internal reset will be activated. This, amongst oth­er things, resets the watchdog counter.

The MCU restarts just as though the Reset had
been generated by the RESET pin, including the
built-in stabilisation delay period.

3.2.4 Application Notes

No external resistor is required between VDDand
the Reset pin, thanks to the built-in pull-up device.

The POR circuit operates dynamically, in that it
triggers MCU initialization on detecting the rising
edge of VDD. The typical threshold is in the region
of 2 volts, but the actual value of the detected
threshold depends on the way in which VDDrises.

The POR circuit is

NOT

designed to supervise

static, or slowly rising or falling VDD.

3.2.5 MCU Initialization Sequence

When a reset occurs the stack is reset, the PC is
loaded with the address of the Reset Vector (locat­ed in program ROM starting at address 0FFEh). A
jump to the beginning of the user program must be
coded at this address. Following a Reset, the In­terrupt flag is automatically set, so that the CPU is
in Non Maskable Interrupt mode; this prevents the

initialisation routine from being interrupted. The in­itialisation routine should therefore be terminated
by a RETI instruction, in order to revert to normal
mode and enable interrupts. If no pending interrupt
is present at the endofthe initialisation routine, the
MCU will continue by processing the instruction
immediately following the RETIinstruction. If, how­ever, a pending interrupt is present, it will be serv­iced.

3.3 DIGITAL WATCHDOG

The digital Watchdog consists of a reloadable
downcounter timer which can be used to provide
controlled recovery from software upsets.

The Watchdog circuit generates a Reset when the
downcounter reaches zero. User software can
prevent this reset by reloading the counter, and
should therefore be written so that the counter is
regularly reloaded while the user program runs
correctly. In the event of a software mishap (usual­ly caused by externally generated interference),
the user program will no longer behave in its usual
fashion and the timer register will thus not be re­loaded periodically. Consequently the timer will
decrement down to 00h and reset the MCU. In or­der to maximise the effectiveness of theWatchdog
function, user software must be written with this
concept in mind.

Watchdog behaviour is governed by two options,
known as “WATCHDOG ACTIVATION” (i.e.
HARDWARE or SOFTWARE) and “EXTERNAL
STOP MODE CONTROL” (seeTable 8).

In the SOFTWARE option, the Watchdog is disa­bled until bit C of the DWDR register has been set.

When the Watchdog is disabled, low power Stop
mode is available. Once activated, the Watchdog
cannot be disabled, except by resetting the MCU.

In the HARDWARE option, the Watchdog is per­manently enabled. Since the oscillatorwill run con­tinuously, low power mode is not available. The
STOP instruction is interpreted as a WAIT instruc­tion, and the Watchdog continues to countdown.

However, when the EXTERNAL STOP MODE
CONTROL option has been selected low power
consumption may be achieved in Stop Mode.

Execution of the STOP instruction is then gov­erned by a secondary function associated with the
NMI pin. If a STOP instruction is encountered
when the NMI pin is low, it isinterpreted as WAIT,
as described above. If, however, the STOP in­struction is encountered when the NMI pin is high,
the Watchdog counter is frozen and the CPU en­ters STOP mode.

When theMCU exits STOP mode (i.e. when an in­terrupt is generated), the Watchdog resumes its
activity.

DIGITAL WATCHDOG(Cont’d)

The Watchdog is associated with a Data space
register (Digital WatchDog Register, DWDR, loca­tion 0D8h) which is described in greater detail in
Section 3.3.1 Digital Watchdog Register (DWDR).
This register is set to 0FEh on Reset: bit C is
cleared to “0”, which disables the Watchdog; the
timer downcounter bits, T0 to T5, and the SR bit
are allset to “1”, thus selecting the longest Watch­dog timer period. This time period can beset to the
user’s requirements by setting the appropriate val­ue for bits T0 to T5 in the DWDR register. The SR
bit must be set to “1”, since it is this bit which gen­erates the Reset signal when it changes to “0”;
clearing this bit would generate an immediate Re­set.

It should be noted that the order of the bits in the
DWDR register is inverted with respect to the as­sociated bits in the down counter: bit 7 of the
DWDR register corresponds, in fact, to T0 and bit
2 to T5. The user should bear in mind the fact that
these bits are inverted and shifted with respect to
the physical counter bits when writing to this regis­ter. The relationship between the DWDR register
bits and the physical implementation of the Watch­dog timer downcounter is illustrated in Figure 17.

Only the 6 most significant bits may be used to de­fine the time period, since it is bit 6 which triggers
the Reset when it changes to “0”. This offers the
user a choice of 64 timed periods ranging from
3,072 to 196,608 clock cycles (with an oscillator
frequency of 8MHz, this isequivalent to timer peri­ods ranging from 384µs to 24.576ms).
