The ST10F273E device is a derivative of the STMicroelectronics ST10 family of 16-bit
single-chip CMOS microcontrollers.
The ST10F273E combines high CPU performance (up to 32 million instructions per second)
with high peripheral functionality and enhanced I/O-capabilities. It also provides on-chip
high-speed single voltage Flash memory, on-chip high-speed RAM, and clock generation
via PLL.
ST10F273E is processed in 0.18mm CMOS technology. The MCU core and the logic is
supplied with a 5 V to 1.8 V on-chip voltage regulator. The part is supplied with a single 5 V
supply and I/Os work at 5 V.
The device is upward compatible with the ST10F269 device, with the following set of
differences:
Flash control interface is now based on STMicroelectronics third generation of stand-alone
Flash memories (M29F400 series), with an embedded Program/Erase Controller. This
completely frees up the CPU during programming or erasing the Flash.
Only one supply pin (ex DC1 in ST10F269, renamed into V18) on the QFP144 package is
used for decoupling the internally generated 1.8V core logic supply. Do not connect this pin
to 5.0 V external supply. Instead, this pin should be connected to a decoupling capacitor
(ceramic type, typical value 10nF, maximum value 100nF).
The AC and DC parameters are modified due to a difference in the maximum CPU
frequency.
A new V

pin assumes a new alternate functionality: it is also used to provide a dedicated power
supply (see VSTBY) to maintain biased a portion of the XRAM (16 Kbytes) when the main

5.5 volts and a dedicated embedded low power voltage regulator is in charge to provide the
1.8 V for the RAM, the low-voltage section of the 32 kHz oscillator and the Real Time Clock
module when not disabled. It is allowed to exceed the upper limit up to 6 V for a very short
period of time during the global life of the device and exceed the lower limit down to 4 V
when RTC and 32 kHz on-chip oscillator are not used.
A second SSC mapped on the XBUS is added (SSC of ST10F269 becomes here SSC0,
while the new one is referred as XSSC or simply SSC1). Note that some restrictions and
functional differences due to the XBUS peculiarities are present between the classic SSC
and the new XSSC.
A second ASC mapped on the XBUS is added (ASC0 of ST10F269 remains ASC0, while
the new one is referred as XASC or simply as ASC1). Note that some restrictions and
functional differences due to the XBUS peculiarities are present between the classic ASC
and the new XASC.
A second PWM mapped on the XBUS is added (PWM of ST10F269 becomes here PWM0,
while the new one is referred as XPWM or simply as PWM1). Note that some restrictions
and functional differences due to the XBUS peculiarities are present between the classic
PWM and the new XPWM.

IntroductionST10F273E
CLKOUT function can output either the CPU clock (like in ST10F269) or a software
programmable prescaled value of the CPU clock.
On-chip RAM memory and FLASH size have been increased.
PLL multiplication factors have been adapted to new frequency range.
A/D Converter is not fully compatible versus ST10F269 (timing and programming model).
Formula for the conversion time is still valid, while the sampling phase programming model
is different.
Besides, additional 8 channels are available on P1L pins as alternate function: The
accuracy reachable with these extra channels is reduced with respect to the standard Port5
channels.
External Memory bus is affected by limitations on maximum speed and maximum
capacitance load: ST10F273E is not able to address an external memory at 64 MHz with 0
wait states.
XPERCON register bit mapping modified according to new peripherals implementation (not
fully compatible with ST10F269).
Bondout chip for emulation (ST10R201) cannot achieve more than 50MHz at room
temperature (so no real time emulation possible at maximum speed).
Input section characteristics are different. The threshold programmability is extended to all
port pins (additional XPICON register); it is possible to select standard TTL (with up to
400mV of hysteresis) and standard CMOS (with up to 750mV of hysteresis).
Output transition is not programmable.
CAN module is enhanced: ST10F273E implements two C-CAN modules, so the
programming model is slightly different. Besides, the possibility to map in parallel the two
CAN modules is added (on P4.5/P4.6).
On-chip main oscillator input frequency range has been reshaped, reducing it from 1 to 25
MHz down to 4 to 8 MHz. This is a low power oscillator amplifier, that allows a power
consumption reduction when Real Time Clock is running in Power down mode, using as
refere nce t he on-c hi p main osci ll ator clo c k. Wh en th is on-c hip a mpl ifi er is us ed as reference
for Real Time Clock module, the Power-down consumption is dominated by the
consumption of the oscillator amplifier itself.
A second on-chip oscillator amplifier circuit (32 kHz) is implemented for low power modes: it
can be used to provide the reference to the Real Time Clock counter (either in Power down
or Stand-by mode). Pin XTAL3 and XTAL4 replace a couple of V

It can range fro m 4. 5 to 5.5V (6V fo r a re duc ed amount of time during t he device

The pins of P1L also serve as the additional (up to 8) analog input channels for
the A/D converter, where P1L.x equals ANy (Analog input channel y,
where y = x + 16). This additional function have higher priority on demultiplexed

4 Memory organization
The memory space of the ST10F273E is configured in a unified memory architecture. Code
memory, data memory , registers and I/O ports are organized within the same linear address
space of 16 Mbytes. The entire memory space can be accessed Byte wise or Word wise.
Particular portions of the on-chip memory have additionally been made directly bit
addressable.
IFlash: 512 Kbytes of on-chip Flash memory. It is divided in 10 blocks (B0F0...B0F9) of the
Bank 0 and two blocks of Bank 1 (B1F0, B1F1): read-while-write operations inside the same
Bank are not allowed. When Bootstrap mode is selected, the Test-Flash Block B0TF
(8 Kbyte) appears at address 00’0000h: refer to
page 25
for more details on memory mapping in boot mode. The summary of address range
IRAM: 2 Kbytes of on-chip internal RAM (dual-port) is provided as a storage for data,
system stack, general purpose register banks and code. A register bank is 16 Wordwide (R0
to R15) and / or Bytewide (RL0, RH0, …, RL7, RH7) general purpose registers group.
XRAM: 32 K + 2 Kbytes of on-chip extension RAM (single port XRAM) is provided as a
storage for data, user stack and code.
The XRAM is divided into two areas, the first 2 Kbytes named XRAM1 and the second
32 Kbytes named XRAM2, connected to the internal XBUS and are accessed like an
external memory in 16-bit demultiplexed bus-mode without wait state or read/write delay
(31.25ns access at 64 MHz CPU clock). Byte and Word accesses are allowed.
The XRAM1 address range is 00’E000h - 00’E7FFh if XPEN (bit 2 of SYSCON register),
and XRAM1EN (bit 2 of XPERCON register) are set. If XRAM1EN or XPEN is cleared, then
any access in the address range 00’E000h - 00’E7FFh will be directed to external memory

register.
The XRAM2 address range is F’0000h-F’7FFFFh if XPEN (bit 2 of SY SCON register), and
XRAM2EN (bit 3 of XPERCON register) are set. If bit XPEN is cleared, then any access in
the address range programmed for XRAM2 will be directed to external memory interface,
using the BUSCONx register corresponding to address matching ADDRSELx register.

●TTL / CMOS threshold selection for Port0, Port1 and Port5.
In order to meet the needs of designs where more memory is required than is provided on
chip, up to 16 Mbytes of external memory can be connected to the microcontroller.
Visibility of XBUS peripherals
In order to keep the ST10F273E compatible with the ST10F168 / ST10F269, the XBUS
peripherals can be selected to be visible on the external address / data bus. Different bits for
X-peripheral enabling in XPERCON register must be set. If these bits are cleared before the
global enabling with XPEN bit in SYSCON register, the corresponding address space, port
pins and interrupts are not occupied by the peripherals, thus the peripheral is not visible and
not available. Refer to

The IFlash module is composed by 2 banks: (Bank 0) contains 384 Kbytes of Program
Memory divided in 10 sectors (B0F0...B0F7), Bank 0 contains also a reserved sector named
Test-Flash. Bank 1 contains 128 Kbytes of Program Memory or Parameter divided in two
sectors (B1F0, B1F1, 64 Kbytes each). Addresses from 0x0E 0000 to 0x0E FFFF are
reserved for the Control Register Interface and other internal service memory space used
by the Flash Program/Erase controller.
The following tables show the memory mapping of the Flash when it is accessed in read
mode (
or erase mode (
the first four banks are remapped into code segment 1 (same as obtained setting bit
ROMS1 in SYSCON register).
The Flash module is automatically switched off executing PWRDN instruction. The
consumption is drastically reduced, but exiting this state can require a long time (t
Recovery time from Power down mode for the Flash modules is anyway shorter than the
main oscillator start-up time. To av oid any problem in restarting to fetch code from the Flash,
it is important to size properly the external circuit on RPD pin.
Note:PWRDN instruction must not be executed while a Flash program/erase operation is in
progress.

5.3 Write operation
The Flash module have one single register interface mapped in the memo ry space 0x0E
0000 to 0x0E 0015. All the operations are enabled through four 16-bit control registers:
Flash Control Register 1-0 High/Low (FCR1H/L-FCR0H/L). Eight other 16-bit registers are
used to store Flash Address and Data for Program operations (FARH/L and FDR1H/LFDR0H/L) and Write Operation Error flags (FERH/L). All registers are accessible with 8 and
16-bit instructions (since operates in 16-bit mode when in read/ write).
Before accessing the Flash registers used for program/erasing operations, bit 5
(XFLASHEN) in XPERCON register shall be set.
The two banks have their own dedicated sense amplifiers, so that one bank can be read
while the other is written.
During a Flash write operation, any attempt to read the bank under modification will output
invalid data (software trap 009Bh). This means that the Flash bank is not fetchable when a
programming operation is active: The write operation commands must be executed from
another bank or from the other memory (internal RAM or external memory).
During a Write operation, when bit LOCK of FCR0 is set, it is forbidden to write into the
Flash Control Registers.

Power supply drop
If, during a write operation, the internal low voltage supply drops below a certain internal
voltage threshold, any write operation running is suddenly interrupted and the module is
reset to Read mode. At following Power-on, the interrupted Flash write operation must be
repeated.
5.4 Registers description
5.4.1 Flash control register 0 low
The Flash Control Register 0 Low (FCR0L), together with the Flash Control Register 0 High
(FCR0H), is used to enable and to monitor all the write operations on the IFlash. The user
has no access in write mode t o the Test-Fla sh (B0 TF) . Besi d es, Test-Flash bloc k is seen by

Bank 0:1 Busy (IFlash)
These bits indicate that a write operation is running on Bank 0 or Bank 1(IFlash). They are
automatically set when bit WMS is set. Setting Protection operation sets bits BSYx (since

protection registers are in this Block). When this bits are set, every read access to the
corresponding bank will output invalid data (software trap 009Bh), while every write access to the

Flash registers access locked
When this bit is set, it means that the access to the Flash Control Registers FCR0H/-FCR1H/L,
FDR0H/L-FDR1H/L, FARH/L and FER is locked by the FPEC: any read access to the registers will
output invalid data (software trap 009Bh) and any write access will be ineffective. LOCK bit is
automatically set when the Flash bit WMS is set.
This is the only bit the user can always access to detect the status of the Flash: once it is found
low, the rest of FCR0L and all the other Flash registers are accessible by the user as well.
Note that FER content can be read when LOCK is low, but its content is updated only when also
BSYx bits are reset.

5.5 Protection strategy
The protection bits are stored in Non Volatile Flash cells, that are read once at reset and
stored in 5 Volatile registers. Before they are read from the Non Volatile cells, all the
available protections are forced active during reset.
The protections can be programmed using the Set Protection operation (see Flash Control
Registers paragraph), that can be executed from all the internal or external memories.
Two kind of protections are available: write protections to avoid unwanted writings and
access protections to avoid piracy. In next paragraphs all different level of protections are
shown, and architecture limitations are highlighted as well.
5.5.1 Protection registers
The 5 Non Volatile Protection Registers are one time programmable for the user.
Two register (FNVWPIRL/FNVWPIRH) are used to store the Write Protection fuses for each
sector IFlash module. The other three Registers (FNVAPR0 and FNVAPR1L/H) are used to
store the Access Protection fuses.

5.5.7 Access protection
The I-Flash module has one level of access protection (access to data both in Reading and
Writing): if bit ACCP of FNVAPR0 is programmed at 0, the I-Flash module becomes access
protected: data in the I-Flash module can be read only if the current execution is from the IFlash module itself.
Protection can be permanently disabled by programming bit PDS0 of FNVAPR1H, in order
to analyze rejects. Protection can be permanently enabled again by programming bit PEN0
of FNVAPR1L. The action to disable and enable again Access Protections in a permanent
way can be executed a maximum of 16 times.
Trying to write into the access protected Flash from internal RAM or external memories will
be unsuccessful. Trying to read into the access protected Flash from internal RAM or
external memories will output a dummy data (software trap 0x009Bh).
When the Flash module is protected in access, also the data access through PEC of a
peripheral is forbidden. To read/write data in PEC mode from/to a protected bank, first it is
necessary to temporarily unprotect the Flash module.
In the following table a summary of all levels of possible Access protection is reported: in
particular, supposing to enable all possible access protections, when fetching from a

5.5.9 Temporary unprotection
Bits WyPx of FNVWPIRL/H can be temporary unprotected by executing the Set Protection
operation and writing 1 into these bits.
Bit ACCP can be temporary unprotected by executing the Set Protection operation and
writing are executed from IFlash.

It is not necessary to temporary unprotect the access protected IFlash in order to update the
code: it is, in fact, sufficient to execute the updating instructions from another Flash bank.
In reality, when a temporary unprotection operation is executed, the corresponding volatile
register is written to 1, while the non volatile registers bits previously written to 0 (for a
protection set operation), will continue to mantain the 0. For this reason, the user software
must be in charge to track the current protection status (for instance using a specific RAM
area), it is not possible to deduce it by reading the non volatile register content (a temporary
unprotection cannot be detected).

5.6 Write operation examples
In the following, examples for each kind of Flash write operation are presented.
Note:Moreover, direct addressing is not allowed for write accesses to IFlash control registers.
This means that both address and data for a writing operation must be loaded in one of
ST10 GPR register (R0...R15).
Write operation on IBus registers is 16 bit wide.
Example of indirect addressing mode:
MOVRWm, #ADDRESS;/*Load Add in RWm*/
MOVRWn, #DATA;/*Load Data in RWn*/
MOV[RWm], RWn;/*Indirect addressing*/
Word program
Example: 32-bit Word Program of data 0xAAAAAAAA at address 0x025554
FCR0H|= 0x2080;/*Set WPG in FCR0H, SMOD must be set*/
FARL = 0x5554;/*Load Add in FARL*/
FARH = 0x0002;/*Load Add in FARH*/
FDR0L = 0xAAAA;/*Load Data in FDR0L*/
FDR0H = 0xAAAA;/*Load Data in FDR0H*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation start*/
Double word program
Example: Double Word Program (64-bit) of data 0x55AA55AA at address 0x035558 and
data 0xAA55AA55 at address 0x03555C.
FCR0H |= 0x1080;/*Set DWPG, SMOD must be set/
FARL = 0x5558;/*Load Add in FARL*/
FARH = 0x0003;/*Load Add in FARH*/
FDR0L = 0x55AA;/*Load Data in FDR0L*/
FDR0H = 0x55AA;/*Load Data in FDR0H*/
FDR1L = 0xAA55;/*Load Data in FDR1L*/
FDR1H = 0xAA55;/*Load Data in FDR1H*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation start*/
Double Word Program is always performed on the Double Word aligned on a even Word: bit
ADD2 of FARL is ignored.
Sector erase
Example: Sector Erase of sectors B0F1 and B0F0 of Bank 0.
FCR0H|= 0x0880;/*Set SER in FCR0H, SMOD must be set*/
FCR1L|= 0x0003;/*Set B0F1, B0F0*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation start*/
Suspend and resume
Word Program, Double Word Program, and Sector Erase operations can be suspended in
the following way:
FCR0H|= 0x4000;/*Set SUSP in FCR0H*/
40/179
ST10F273EInternal Flash memory
Then the operation can be resumed in the following way:
FCR0H|= 0x0800;/*Set SER in FCR0H*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation resume*/
Before resuming a suspended Erase, FCR1H/FCR1L must be read to check if the Erase is
already completed (FCR1H = FCR1L = 0x0000 if Erase is complete). Original setup of
Select Operation bits in FCR0H/L must be restored before the operation resume, otherwise
the operation is aborted and bit RESER of FER is set.
Erase suspend, program and resume
A Sector Erase operation can be suspended in order to program (Word or Double Word)
another sector.
Example: Sector Erase of sector B0F1.
FCR0H|= 0x0880;/*Set SER in FCR0H, SMOD must be set*/
FCR1L|= 0x0002;/*Set B0F1*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation start*/
Example: Sector Erase Suspend.
FCR0H|= 0x4000;/*Set SUSP in FCR0H*/
do /*Loop to wait for LOCK=0 and WMS=0*/
{tmp1 = FCR0L;
tmp2 = FCR0H;
} while ((tmp1 && 0x0010) || (tmp2 && 0x8000));
Example: Word Program of data 0x5555AAAA at address 0x045554.
FCR0H&= 0xBFFF;/*Rst SUSP in FCR0H*/
FCR0H|= 0x2080;/*Set WPG in FCR0H, SMOD must be set*/
FARL = 0x5554;/*Load Add in FARL*/
FARH = 0x0004;/*Load Add in FARH*/
FDR0L = 0xAAAA;/*Load Data in FDR0L*/
FDR0H = 0x5555;/*Load Data in FDR0H*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation start*/
Once the Program operation is finished, the Erase operation can be resumed in the
following way:
FCR0H|= 0x0800;/*Set SER in FCR0H*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation resume*/
Notice that during the Program Operation in Erase suspend, bits SER and SUSP are low. A
Word or Double Word Program during Erase Suspend cannot be suspended.
In summary:
A Sector Erase can be suspended by setting SUSP bit.
●To perform a Word Program operation during Erase Suspend, firstly bits SUSP and
SER must be reset, then bit WPG and WMS can be set.
●To resume the Sector Erase operation bit SER must be set again.
●In any case it is forbidden to start any write operation with SUSP bit already set.

5.7 Write operation summary
In general, each write operation is started through a sequence of 3 steps:
1.The first instruction is used to select the desired operation by setting its corresponding
selection bit in the Flash Control Register 0.
2. The second step is the definition of the Address and Data for programming or the
sectors or banks to erase, SMOD must be always set except for writing in Flash Non
Volatile Protection registers.
3. The last instruction is used to start the write operation, by setting the start bit WMS in
the FCR0.
Once selected, but not yet started, one operation can be canceled by resetting the operation
selection bit.
A summary of the available Flash Module Write Operations are shown in the following

Bootstrap loaderST10F273E
6 Bootstrap loader
ST10F273E implements Boot capabilities in order to:
●Support bootstrap via UART or bootstrap via CAN for the standard bootstrap.
●Support a selective bootstrap loader, to manage the bootstrap sequence in a different
way.
6.1 Selection among user-code, standard or selective bootstrap
The boot modes are triggered with a special combination set on Port0L[5...4]. Those
signals, as other configuration signals, are latched on the rising edge of RSTIN
●Decoding of reset configuration (P0L.5 = 1, P0L.4 = 1) will select the normal mode
(also called User mode) and select the user Flash to be mapped from address
00’0000h.
●Decoding of reset configuration (P0L.5 = 1, P0L.4 = 0) will select ST10 standard
bootstrap mode (Test-Flash is active and overlaps user Flash for code fetches from
address 00'0000h; user Flash is active and available for read accesses).
●Decoding of reset configuration (P0L.5 = 0, P0L.4 = 1) will activate new verifications to
select which bootstrap software to execute:
–if the User mode signature in the User Flash is programmed correctly, then a
software reset sequence is selected and the User code is executed;
–if the User mode signature is not programmed correctly in the user Flash, then the
User key location is read again. Its value will determine which communication
channel will be enabled for bootstraping.

6.2 Standard bootstrap loader
After entering the standard BSL mode and the respective initialization, the ST10F273E
scans the RxD0 line and the CAN1_RxD line to receive either a valid dominant bit from CAN
interface, or a start condition from UART line.
Start condition on UART RxD: ST10F273E starts standard bootstrap loader. This
bootstrap loader is identical to other ST10 devices (example: ST10F269, ST10F168).
Valid dominant bit on CAN1 RxD: ST10F273E start bootstrapping via CAN1.

6.3.1 Activation of the ABM and SBM
Alternate boot is activated with the combination ‘01’ on Port0L[5..4] at the rising edge of
RSTIN
.
6.3.2 User mode signature integrity check
The behavior of the Selective Boot mode is based on the computing of a signature between
the content of 2 memory locations and a comparison with a reference signature. This
requires that users who use Selective Boot have reserved and programmed the Flash
memory locations.
6.3.3 Selective boot mode
When the user signature is not correct, instead of executing the Standard Bootstrap Loader
(triggered by P0L.4 low at reset), additional check is made.
Depending on the value at the User key location, following behavior will occur:
●A jump is performed to the Standard Bootstrap Loader
●Only UART is enabled for bootstraping
●Only CAN1 is enabled for bootstraping
●The device enters an infinite loop.

Central processing unit (CPU)ST10F273E
7 Central processing unit (CPU)
The CPU includes a 4-stage instruction pipeline, a 16-bit arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) and
dedicated SFRs. Additional hardware has been added for a separate multiply and divide
unit, a bit-mask generator and a barrel shifter.
Most of the ST10F273E’s instructions can be executed in one instruction cycle which
requires 31.25ns at 64 MHz CPU clock. For example, shift and rotate instructions are
processed in one instruction cycle independent of the number of bits to be shifted.
Multiple-cycle instructions have been optimized: branches are carried out in 2 cycles, 16 x
16-bit multiplication in 5 cycles and a 32/16-bit division in 10 cycles.
The jump cache reduces the execution time of repeatedly performed jumps in a loop, from
2 cycles to 1 cycle.
The CPU uses a bank of 16 word registers to run the current context. This bank of General
Purpose Registers (GPR) is physically stored within the on-chip Internal RAM (IRAM) area.
A Context Pointer (CP) register determines the base address of the active register bank to
be accessed by the CPU.
The number of register banks is only restricted by the available Internal RAM space. For
easy parameter passing, a register bank may overlap others.
A system stack of up to 2048 bytes is provided as a storage for temporary data. The system
stack is allocated in the on-chip RAM area, and it is accessed by the CPU via the stack
pointer (SP) register.
Two separate SFRs, STKOV and STKUN, are implicitly compared against the stack pointer
value upon each stack access for the detection of a stack overflow or underflow.

7.1 Multiplier-accumulator unit (MAC)
The MAC coprocessor is a specialized coprocessor added to the ST10 CPU Core in order to
improve the performances of the ST10 Family in signal processing algorithms.
The standard ST10 CPU has been modified to include new addressing capabilities which
enable the CPU to supply the new coprocessor with up to 2 operands per instruction cycle.
This new coprocessor (so-called MAC) contains a fast multiply-accumulate unit and a repeat
unit.
The coprocessor instructions extend the ST10 CPU instruction set with multiply, multiplyaccumulate, 32-bit signed arithmetic operations.

ST10F273EExternal bus controller
8 External bus controller
All of the external memory accesses are performed by the on-chip external bus controller.
The EBC can be programmed to single chip mode when no external memory is required, or
to one of four different external memory access modes:
In demultiplexed bus modes addresses are output on PORT1 and data is input / output on
PORT0 or P0L, respectively. In the multiplexed bus modes both addresses and data use
PORT0 for input / output.
Timing characteristics of the external bus interface (memory cycle time, memory tri-state
time, length of ALE and read / write delay) are programmable giving the choice of a wide
range of memories and external peripherals.
Up to four independent address windows may be defined (using register pairs ADDRSELx /
BUSCONx) to access different resources and bus characteristics.
These address windows are arranged hierarchically where BUSCON4 overrides BUSCON3
and BUSCON2 overrides BUSCON1.
All accesses to locations not covered by these four address windows are controlled by
BUSCON0. Up to five external CS
signals (four windows plus default) can be generated in
order to save external glue logic. Access to very slow memories is supported by a ‘Ready’
function.
A HOLD
/ HLDA protocol is available for bus arbitration which shares external resources
with other bus masters.
The bus arbitration is enabled by setting bit HLDEN in register PSW. After setting HLDEN
once, pins P6.7...P6.5 (BREQ
master mode (default after reset) the HLDA
slave mode is selected where pin HLDA
, HLDA, HOLD) are automatically controlled by the EBC. In
pin is an output. By setting bit DP6.7 to’1’ the
is switched to input. This directly connects the slave
controller to another master controller without glue logic.
For applications which require less external memory space, the address space can be
restricted to 1 Mbyte, 256 Kbytes or to 64 Kbytes. Port 4 outputs all eight address lines if an
address space of 16M Bytes is used, otherwise four, two or no address lines.
Chip select timing can be made programmable. By default (after reset), the CSx
lines
change half a CPU clock cycle after the rising edge of ALE. With the CSCFG bit set in the
SYSCON register the CSx
lines change with the rising edge of ALE.
The active level of the READY pin can be set by bit RDYPOL in the BUSCONx registers.
When the READY function is enabled for a specific address window, each bus cycle within
the window must be terminated with the active level defined by bit RDYPOL in the
associated BUSCON register.
51/179
Interrupt systemST10F273E
9 Interrupt system
The interrupt response time for internal program execution is from 78ns to 187.5ns at
64 MHz CPU clock.
The ST10F273E architecture supports several mechanisms for fast and flexible response to
service requests that can be generated from various sources (internal or external) to the
microcontroller. Any of these interrupt requests can be serviced by the Interrupt Controller or
by the Peripheral Event Controller (PEC).
In contrast to a standard interrupt service where the current program execution is
suspended and a branch to the interrupt vector table is performed, just one cycle is ‘stolen’
from the current CPU activity to perform a PEC service. A PEC service implies a single Byte
or Word data transfer between any two memory locations with an additional increment of
either the PEC source or destination pointer. An individual PEC transfer counter is implicitly
decremented for each PEC service except when performing in the continuous transfer
mode. When this counter reaches zero, a standard interrupt is performed to the
corresponding source related vector location. PEC services are very well suited to perform
the transmission or the reception of blocks of data. The ST10F273E has 8 PEC channels,
each of them offers such fast interrupt-driven data transfer capabilities.
An interrupt control register which contains an interrupt request flag, an interrupt enable flag
and an interrupt priority bit-field is dedicated to each existing interrupt source. Thanks to its
related register, each source can be programmed to one of sixteen interrupt priority levels.
Once starting to be processed by the CPU, an interrupt service can only be interrupted by a
higher prioritized service request. For the standard interrupt processing, each of the
possible interrupt sources has a dedicated vector location.
Software interrupts are supported by means of the ‘TRAP’ instruction in combination with an
individual trap (interrupt) number.
Fast external interrupt inputs are provided to service external interrupts with high precision
requirements. These fast interrupt inputs feature programmable edge detection (rising edge,
falling edge or both edges).
Fast external interrupts may also have interrupt sources selected from other peripherals; for
example the CANx controller receive signals (CANx_RxD) and I
2
C serial clock signal can be
used to interrupt the system.
Table 29 shows all the available ST10F273E interrupt sources and the corresponding
hardware-related interrupt flags, vectors, vector locations and trap (interrupt) numbers:
Hardware traps are exceptions or error conditions that arise during run-time. They cause
immediate non-maskable system reaction similar to a standard interrupt service (branching
to a dedicated vector table location).
The occurrence of a hardware trap is additionally signified by an individual bit in the trap flag
register (TFR). Except when another higher prioritized trap service is in progress, a
hardware trap will interrupt any other program execution. Hardware trap services cannot not
be interrupted by standard interrupt or by PEC interrupts.
9.1 X-Peripheral interrupt
The limited number of X-Bus interrupt lines of the present ST10 architecture, imposes some
constraints on the implementation of the new functionality. In particular, the additional XPeripherals SSC1, ASC1, I
and PEC transfer capabilities. For this reason, a multiplexed structure for the interrupt
management is proposed. In the next
diagram, which shows the basic structure replicated for each of the four X-interrupt available
vectors (XP0INT, XP1INT, XP2INT and XP3IN T).
It is based on a set of 16-bit registers XIRxSEL (x=0,1,2,3), divided in two portions each:
●Byte HighXIRxSEL[15:8]Interrupt Enable bits
●Byte LowXIRxSEL[7:0]Interrupt Flag bits
2
C, PWM1 an d RTC ne ed some re sources to i mplement interrupt
Figure 7
, the principle is explained through a simple
54/179
ST10F273EInterrupt system
When different sources submit an interrupt request, the enable bits (Byte High of XIRxSEL
register) define a mask which controls which sources will be associated with the unique
available vector . If more than one source is enabled to issue the request, the service routine
will have to take care to identify the real event to be serviced. This can easily be done by
checking the flag bits (Byte Low of XIRxSEL register). Note that the flag bits can also
provide information about events which are not currently serviced by the interrupt controller
(since masked through the enable bits), allowing an effective software management also in
absence of the possibility to serve the related interrupt request: a periodic polling of the flag
bits may be implemented inside the user application.

ST10F273ECapture / compare (CAPCOM) units
10 Capture / compare (CAPCOM) units
The ST10F273E has two 16-channel CAPCOM units which support generation and control
of timing sequences on up to 32 channels with a maximum resolution of 125ns at 64 MHz
CPU clock.
The CAPCOM units are typically used to handle high speed I/O tasks such as pulse and
waveform generation, pulse width modulation (PMW), Digital to Analog (D/A) conversion,
software timing, or time recording relative to external events.
Four 16-bit timers (T0/T1, T7/T8) with reload registers provide two independent time bases
for the capture/compare register array.
The input clock for the timers is programmable to several prescaled values of the internal
system clock, or may be derived from an overflow/underflow of timer T6 in module GPT2.
This provides a wide range of variation for the timer period and resolution and allows precise
adjustments to application specific requirements. In addition, external count inputs for
CAPCOM timers T0 and T7 allow event scheduling for the capture/compare registers
relative to external events.
Each of the two capture/compare register arrays contain 16 dual purpose capture/compare
registers, each of which may be individually allocated to either CAPCOM timer T0 or T1 (T7
or T8, respectively), and programmed for capture or compare functions. Each of the 32
registers has one associated port pin which serves as an input pin for triggering the capture
function, or as an output pin to indicate the occurrence of a compare event.
When a capture/compare register has been selected for capture mode, the current contents
of the allocated timer will be latched (captured) into the capture/compare register in
response to an external event at the port pin which is associated with this register. In
addition, a specific interrupt request for this capture/compare register is generated.
Either a positive, a negative, or both a positive and a negative external signal transition at
the pin can be selected as the triggering event. The contents of all registers which have
been selected for one of the five compare modes are continuously compared with the
contents of the allocated timers.
When a match occurs between the timer value and the value in a capture / compare
register, specific actions will be taken based on the selected compare mode.

The GPT unit is a flexible multifunctional timer/counter structure which is used for time
related tasks such as event timing and counting, pulse width and duty cycle measurements,
pulse generation, or pulse multiplication. The GPT unit contains five 16-bit timers organized
into two separate modules GPT1 and GPT2. Each timer in each module may operate
independently in several different modes, or may be concatenated with another timer of the
same module.
11.1 GPT1
Each of the three timers T2, T3, T4 of the GPT1 module can be configured individually for
one of four basic modes of operation: timer, gated timer, counter mode and incremental interface mode.
In timer mode, the input clock for a timer is derived from the CPU clock, divided by a
programmable prescaler.
In counter mode, the timer is clocked in reference to external events.
Pulse width or duty cycle measurement is supported in gated timer mode where the
operation of a timer is controlled by the ‘gate’ level on an external input pin. For these
purposes, each timer has one associated port pin (TxIN) which serves as gate or clock
input.
Table 35 and Table 36 list the timer input frequencies, resolution and periods for each prescaler option at 40MHz and 64MHz CPU clock respectively.
In Incremental Interface mode, the GPT1 timers (T2, T3, T4) can be directly connected to
the incremental position sensor signals A and B by their respective inputs TxIN and TxEUD.
Direction and count signals are internally derived from these two input signals so that the
contents of the respective timer Tx corresponds to the sensor position. The third position
sensor signal TOP0 can be connected to an interrupt input.
Timer T3 has output toggle latches (TxOTL) which changes state on each timer over flow /
underflow. The state of this latch may be output on port pins (TxOUT) for time out monitoring
of external hardware components, or may be used internally to clock timers T2 and T4 for
high resolution of long duration measurements.
In addition to their basic operating modes, timers T2 and T4 may be configured as reload or
capture registers for timer T3.
Table 35.GPT1 timer input frequencies, resolutions and periods at 40 MHz
The GPT2 module provides precise event control and time measurement. It includes two
timers (T5, T6) and a capture/reload register (CAPREL). Both timers can be clocked with an
input clock which is derived from the CPU clock via a programmable prescaler or with
external signals. The count direction (up/down) for each timer is programmable by software
or may additionally be altered dynamically by an external signal on a port pin (TxEUD).
Concatenation of the timers is supported via the output toggle latch (T6OTL) of timer T6
which changes its state on each timer overflow/underflow.
The state of this latch may be used to clock timer T5, or it may be output on a port pin
(T6OUT). The overflow / underflow of timer T6 can additionally be used to clock the
CAPCOM timers T0 or T1, and to cause a reload from the CAPREL register. The CAPREL
register may capture the contents of timer T5 based on an external signal transition on the
corresponding port pin (CAPIN), and timer T5 may optionally be cleared after the capture
procedure. This allows absolute time differences to be measured or pulse multiplication to
be performed without software overhead.
The capture trigger (timer T5 to CAPREL) may also be generated upon transitions of GPT1
timer T3 inputs T3IN and/or T3EUD. This is advantageous when T3 operates in Incremental
Interface mode.

13 Parallel ports
13.1 Introduction
The ST10F273E MCU provides up to 111 I/O lines with programmable features. These
capabilities bring very flexible adaptation of this MCU to wide range of applications.
ST10F273E has nine groups of I/O lines gathered as follows:
●Port 0 is a two time 8-bit port named P0L (Low as less significant byte) and P0H (high
as most significant byte)
●Port 1 is a two time 8-bit port named P1L and P1H
●Port 2 is a 16-bit port
●Port 3 is a 15-bit port (P3.14 line is not implemented)
●Port 4 is a 8-bit port
●Port 5 is a 16-bit port input only
●Port 6, Port 7 and Port 8 are 8-bit ports
These ports may be used as general purpose bidirectional input or output, software
controlled with dedicated registers.
For example, the output drivers of six of the ports (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8) can be configured (bitwise) for push-pull or open drain operation using ODPx registers.
The input threshold levels are programmable (TTL/CMOS) for all the ports. The logic level of
a pin is clocked into the input latch once per state time, regardless whether the port is
configured for input or output. The threshold is selected with PICON and XPICON registers
control bits.
A write operation to a port pin configured as an input causes the value to be written into the
port output latch, while a read operation returns the latched state of the pin itself. A readmodify-write operation reads the value of the pin, modifies it, and writes it back to the output
latch.
Writing to a pin configured as an output (DPx.y=‘1’) causes the output latch and the pin to
have the written value, since the output buffer is enabled. Reading this pin returns the value
of the output latch. A read-modify-write operation reads the value of the output latch,
modifies it, and writes it back to the output latch, thus also modifying the level at the pin.
I/O lines support an alternate function which is detailed in the following description of each
port.
64/179
ST10F273EParallel ports
13.2 I/O’s special features
13.2.1 Open drain mode
Some of the I/O ports of ST10F273E support the open drain capability. This programmable
feature may be used with an external pull-up resistor, in order to get an AND wired logical
function. This feature is implemented for ports P2, P3, P4, P6, P7 and P8 (see respective
sections) and is controlled through the respective Open Drain Control Registers ODPx.
13.2.2 Input threshold control
The standard inputs of the ST10F273E determine the status of input signals according to
TTL levels. In order to accept and recognize noisy signals, CMOS input thresholds can be
selected instead of the standard TTL thresholds for all the pins. These CMOS thresholds
are defined above the TTL thresholds and feature a higher hysteresis to prevent the inputs
from toggling while the respective input signal level is near the thresholds.
The Port Input Control registers PICON and XPICON are used to select these thresholds for
each Byte of the indicated ports, this means the 8-bit ports P0L, P0H, P1L, P1H, P4, P7 and
P8 are controlled by one bit each while ports P2, P3 and P5 are controlled by two bits each.
All options for individual direction and output mode control are available for each pin,
independent of the selected input threshold.
13.3 Alternate port functions
Each port line has one associated programmable alternate input or output function.
●PORT0 and PORT1 may be used as address and data lines when accessing external
memory. Besides, PORT1 provides also:
–Input capture lines
–8 additional analog input channels to the A/D converter
●Port 2, Port 7 and Port 8 are associated with the capture inputs or compare outputs of
the CAPCOM units and/or with the outputs of the PWM0 module, of the PWM1 module
and of the ASC1.
Port 2 is also used for fast external interrupt inputs and for timer 7 input.
●Port 3 includes the alternate functions of timers, serial interfaces, the optional bus
control signal BH E
●Port 4 outputs the additional segment address bit A23...A16 in systems where more
than 64 Kbytes of memory are to be access directly. In addition, CAN1, CAN2 and I
lines are provided.
●Port 5 is used as analog input channels of the A/D converter or as timer control signals.
●Port 6 provides optional bus arbitration signals (BREQ, HLDA, HOLD) and chip select
signals and the SSC1 lines.
If the alternate output function of a pin is to be used, the direction of this pin must be
programmed for output (DPx.y=‘1’), except for some signals that are used directly after reset
and are configured automatically. Otherwise the pin remains in the high-impedance state
and is not effected by the alternate output function. The respective port latch should hold a
‘1’, because its output is ANDed with the alternate output data (except for PWM output
signals).
and the system clock output (CLKOUT).

C
65/179
Parallel portsST10F273E
If the alternate input function of a pin is used, the direction of the pin must be programmed
for input (DPx.y=‘0’) if an external device is driving the pin. The input direction is the default
after reset. If no external device is connected to the pin, however, one can also set the
direction for this pin to output. In this case, the pin reflects the state of the port output latch.
Thus, the alternate input function reads the value stored in the port output latch. This can be
used for testing purposes to allow a software trigger of an alternate input function by writing
to the port output latch.
On most of the port lines, the user software is responsible for setting the proper direction
when using an alternate input or output function of a pin.
This is done by setting or clearing the direction control bit DPx.y of the pin before enabling
the alternate function.
There are port lines, however, where the direction of the port line is switched automatically.
For instance, in the multiplexed external bus modes of PORT0, the direction must be
switched several times for an instruction fetch in order to output the addresses and to input
the data.
Obviously , this cannot be done through instructions. In these cases, the direction of the port
line is switched automatically by hardware if the alternate function of such a pin is enabled.
To determine the appropriate level of the port output latches check how the alternate data
output is combined with the respective port latch output.
There is one basic structure for all port lines with only an alternate input function. Port lines
with only an alternate output function, however, have different structures due to the way the
direction of the pin is switched and depending on whether the pin is accessible by the user
software or not in the alternate function mode.
All port lines that are not used for these alternate functions may be used as general purpose
I/O lines.

ST10F273EA/D converter
14 A/D converter
A 10-bit A/D converter with 16+8 multiplexed input channels and a sample and hold circuit is
integrated on-chip. An automatic self-calibration adjusts the A/D converter module to
process parameter variations at each reset event. The sample time (for loading the
capacitors) and the conversion time is programmable and can be adjusted to the external
circuitry.
The ST10F273E has 16+8 multiplexed input channels on Port 5 and Port 1. The selection
between Port 5 and Port 1 is made via a bit in a XBus register. Refer to the User Manual for
a detailed description.
A different accuracy is guaranteed (Total Unadjusted Error) on Port 5 and Port 1 analog
channels (with higher restrictions when overload conditions occur); in particular, Port 5
channels are more accurate than the Port 1 ones. Refer to Electrical Characteristic section
for details.
The A/D converter input bandwidth is limited by the achievable accuracy: supposing a
maximum error of 0.5LSB (2mV) impacting the global TUE (TUE depends also on other
causes), in worst case of temperature and process, the maximum frequency for a sine wave
analog signal is around 7.5 kHz. Of course, to reduce the effect of the input signal variation
on the accuracy down to 0.05LSB, the maximum input frequency of the sine wave shall be
reduced to 800 Hz.
If static signal is applied during sampling phase, series resistance shall not be greater than
20kΩ (this taking into account eventual input leakage). It is suggested to not connect any
capacitance on analog input pins, in order to reduce the effect of charge partitioning (and
consequent voltage drop error) between the external and the internal capacitance: in case
an RC filter is necessary the external capacitance must be greater than 10nF to minimize
the accuracy impact.
Overrun error detection / protection is controlled by the ADDAT register. Either an interrupt
request is generated when the result of a previous conversion has not been read from the
result register at the time the next conversion is complete, or the next conversion is
suspended until the previous result has been read. For applications which require less than
16+8 analog input channels, the remaining channel inputs can be used as digital input port
pins.
The A/D converter of the ST10F273E supports different conversion modes:
●Single channel single conversion: The analog level of the selected channel is
sampled once and converted. The result of the conversion is stored in the ADDAT
register.
●Single channel continuous conversion: The analog level of the selected channel is
repeatedly sampled and converted. The result of the conversion is stored in the ADDA T
register.
●Auto scan single conversion: The analog level of the selected channels are sampled
once and converted. After each conversion the result is stored in the ADDAT register.
The data can be transferred to the RAM by interrupt software management or using the
powerful Peripheral Event Controller (PEC) data transfer.
●Auto scan continuous conversion: The analog level of the selected channels are
repeatedly sampled and converted. The result of the conversion is stored in the ADDA T
67/179
A/D converterST10F273E
register. The data can be transferred to the RAM by interrupt software management or
using the PEC data transfer.
●Wait for ADDAT read mode: When using continuous modes, in order to avoid to
overwrite the result of the current conversion by the next one, the ADWR bit of ADCON
control register must be activated. Then, until the ADDAT register is read, the new
result is stored in a temporary buffer and the conversion is on hold.
●Channel injection mode: When using continuous modes, a selected channel can be
converted in between without changing the current operating mode. The 10-bit data of
the conversion are stored in ADRES field of ADDAT2. The current continuous mode
remains active after the single conversion is completed.
A full calibration sequence is performed after a reset. This full calibration lasts up to 40.630
CPU clock cycles. During this time, the busy flag ADBSY is set to indicate the operation. It
compensates the capacitance mismatch, so the calibration procedure does not need any
update during normal operation.
No conversion can be performed during this time: the bit ADBSY shall be polled to verify
when the calibration is over, and the module is able to start a convertion.

ST10F273ESerial channels
15 Serial channels
Serial communication with other microcontrollers, microprocessors, terminals or external
peripheral components is provided by up to four serial interfaces: two asynchronous /
synchronous serial channels (ASC0 and ASC1) and two high-speed synchronous serial
channel (SSC0 and SSC1). Dedicated Baud rate generators set up all standard Baud rates
without the requirement of oscillator tuning. For transmission, reception and erroneous
reception, separate interrupt vectors are provided for ASC0 and SSC0 serial channel. A
more complex mechanism of interrupt sources multiplexing is implemented for ASC1 and
SSC1 (XBUS mapped).
15.1 Asynchronous / synchronous serial interfaces
The asynchronous / synchronous serial interfaces (ASC0 and ASC1) provides serial
communication between the ST10F273E and other microcontrollers, microprocessors or
external peripherals.
15.2 ASCx in asynchronous mode
In asynchronous mode, 8- or 9-bit data transfer, parity generation and the number of stop
bits can be selected. Parity framing and overrun error detection is provided to increase the
reliability of data transfers. Transmission and reception of data is double-buffered. Fullduplex communication up to 2M Bauds (at 64 MHz of f

Note:The deviation errors given in the Table 41 and Table 42 are rounded. To avoid deviation
errors use a Baud rate crystal (providing a multiple of the ASC0 sampling frequency).
15.3 ASCx in synchronous mode
In synchronous mode, data is transmitted or received synchronously to a shift clock which is
generated by the ST10F273E. Half-duplex communication up to 8M Baud (at 40 MHz of
f
) is possib le in this mode.

15.4 High speed synchronous serial interfaces
The High-Speed Synchronous Serial Interfaces (SSC0 and SSC1) provides flexible highspeed serial communication between the ST10F273E and other microcontrollers,
microprocessors or external peripherals.
The SSCx supports full-duplex and half-duplex synchronous communication. The serial
clock signal can be generated by the SSCx itself (master mode) or be received from an
external master (slave mode). Data width, shift direction, clock polarity and phase are
programmable.
This allows communication with SPI-compatible devices. T ransmission and reception of data
is double-buffered. A 16-bit Baud rate generator provides the SSCx with a separate serial
clock signal. The serial channel SSCx has its own dedicated 16-bit Baud rate generator with
16-bit reload capability, allowing Baud rate generation independent from the timers.

and

the resulting bit times for 40 MHz and 64 MHz CPU clock respectively. The maximum is

The integrated I2C Bus Module handles the transmission and reception of frames over the
2
two-line SDA/SCL in accordance with the I
C Bus specification. The I2C Module can
operate in slave mode, in master mode or in multi-master mode. It can receive and transmit
data using 7-bit or 10-bit addressing. Data can be transferred at speeds up to 400 Kbit/s
(both Standard and Fast I
2
C bus modes are supported).
The module can generate three different types of interrupt:
●Requests related to bus events, like start or stop events, arbitration lost, etc.
●Requests related to data transmission
●Requests related to data reception
These requests are issued to the interrupt controller by three different lines, and identified as
Error, Transmit, and Receive interrupt lines.
When the I

C module is enabled by setting bit XI2CEN in XPERCON register, pins P4.4 and
P4.7 (where SCL and SDA are respectively mapped as alternate functions) are
automatically configured as bidirectional open-drain: the value of the external pull-up
resistor depends on the application. P4, DP4 and ODP4 cannot influence the pin
configuration.

CAN modulesST10F273E
17 CAN modules
The two integrated CAN modules (CAN1 and CAN2) are identical and handle the
completely autonomous transmission and reception of CAN frames according to the CAN
specification V2.0 part B (active). It is based on the C-CAN specification.
Each on-chip CAN module can receive and transmit standard frames with 11-bit identifiers
as well as extended frames with 29-bit identifiers.
Because of duplication of the CAN controllers, the following adjustments are to be
considered:
●Same internal register addresses of both CAN controllers, but with base addresses
differing in address bit A8; separate chip select for each CAN module. Refer to
Chapter 4: Memory organization on page 22
●The CAN1 transmit line (CAN1_TxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.6 pin and
the receive line (CAN1_RxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.5 pin.
●The CAN2 transmit line (CAN2_TxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.7 pin and
the receive line (CAN2_RxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.4 pin.
●Interrupt request lines of the CAN1 and CAN2 modules are connected to the XBUS
interrupt lines together with other X-Peripherals sharing the four vectors.
●The CAN modules must be selected with corresponding CANxEN bit of XPERCON
register before the bit XPEN of SYSCON register is set.
●The reset default configuration is: CAN1 enabled, CAN2 disabled.
.
Note:If one or both CAN modules is used, Port 4 cannot be programmed to output all 8 segment
address lines. Thus, only four segment address lines can be used, reducing the external
memory space to 5 Mbytes (1 Mbyte per CS
line).
17.1 Configuration support
It is possible that both CAN controllers are working on the same CAN bus, supporting
together up to 64 message objects. In this configuration, both receive signals and both
transmit signals are linked together when using the same CAN transceiver. This
configuration is especially supported by providing open drain outputs for the CAN1_Txd and
CAN2_TxD signals. The open drain function is controlled with the ODP4 register for port P4:
in this way it is possible to connect together P4.4 with P4.5 (receive lines) and P4.6 with
P4.7 (transmit lines configured to be configured as Open-Drain).
The user is also allowed to map internally both CAN modules on the same pins P4.5 and
P4.6. In this way, P4.4 and P4.7 may be used either as general purpose I/O lines, or used
2
for I
C interface. This is possible by setting bit CANPAR of XMISC register. To access this
register it is necessary to set bit XMISCEN of XPERCON register and bit XPEN of SYSCON
register.

ST10F273EReal time clock
18 Real time clock
The real time clock is an independent timer, in which the clock is derived directly from the
clock oscillator on XT AL1 (main oscillator) input or XT AL3 input (32 kHz low-power oscillator)
so that it can be kept on running even in idle or power down mode (if enabled to). Registers
access is implemented onto the XBUS. This module is designed with the following
characteristics:
●Generation of the current time and date for the system
●Cyclic time based interrupt, on Port2 external interrupts every ’RTC basic clock tick’
and after
●58-bit timer for long term measurement
●Capability to exit the ST10 chip from Power down mode (if PWDCFG of SYSCON set)
after a programmed delay
The real time clock is based on two main blocks of counters. The first block is a prescaler
which generates a basic reference clock (for example a 1 second period). This basic
reference clock is coming out of a 20-bit DIVIDER. This 20-bit counter is driven by an input
clock derived from the on-chip CPU clock, pre-divided by a 1/64 fixed counter. This 20-bit
counter is loaded at each basic reference clock period with the value of the 20-bit
PRESCALER register. The value of the 20-bit RTCP register determines the period of the
basic reference clock.
n
’RTC basic c lock ticks’ (n is programmable) if enabled
A timed interrupt request (RTCSI) may be sent on each basic reference clock period. The
second block of the RTC is a 32-bit counter that may be initialized with the current system
time. This counter is driven with the basic reference clock signal. In order to provide an
alarm function the contents of the counter is compared with a 32-bit alarm register. The
alarm register may be loaded with a reference date. An alarm interrupt request (RTCAI),
may be generated when the value of the counter matches the alarm register.
The timed RTCSI and the alarm RTCAI interrupt requests can trigger a fast external
interrupt via EXISEL register of port 2 and wake-up the ST10 chip when running power
down mode. Using the RTCOFF bit of RTCCON register, the user may switch off the clock
oscillator when entering the power down mode.
The last function implemented in the RTC is to switch off the main on-chip oscillator and the
32 kHz on chip oscillator if the ST10 enters the Power down mode, so that the chip can be
fully switched off (if RTC is disabled).
At power on, and after Reset phase, if the presence of a 32 kHz oscillation on XTAL3 /
XTAL4 pins is detected, then the RTC counter is driven by this low frequency reference
clock: when Power down mode is entered, the RTC can either be stopped or left running,
and in both the cases the main oscillator is turned off, reducing the power consumption of
the device to the minimum required to keep on running the RTC counter and relative
reference oscillator. This is valid also if Stand-by mode is entered (switching off the main
supply V
V
STBY
), since both the RTC and the low power oscillator (32 kHz) are biased by the
DD
. Vice versa, when at power on and after Reset, the 32 kHz is not present, the main
oscillator drives the RTC counter, and since it is powered by the main power supply, it
cannot be maintained running in Stand-by mode, while in Power down mode the main
oscillator is maintained running to provide the reference to the RTC module (if not disabled).

Watchdog timerST10F273E
19 Watchdog timer
The watchdog timer is a fail-safe mechanism which prevents the microcontroller from
malfunctioning for long periods of time.
The watchdog timer is always enabled after a reset of the chip and can only be disabled in
the time interval until the EINIT (end of initialization) instruction has been executed.
Therefore, the chip start-up procedure is always monitored. The software must be designed
to service the watchdog timer before it overflows. If, due to hardware or software related
failures, the software fails to do so, the watchdog timer overflows and generates an internal
hardwar e reset . It pul ls the RSTOUT
to be reset.
Each of the different reset sources is indicated in the WDTCON register:
●Watchdog timer reset in case of an overflow
●Software Reset in case of execution of the SRST instruction
●Short, long and power-on reset in case of hardware reset (and depending of reset
pulse duration and RPD pin configuration)
The indicated bits are cleared with the EINIT instruction. The source of the reset can be
identified during the ini tia li za tio n phas e.
pin low in order to allow external hardware components
The watchdog timer is 16-bit, clocked with the system clock divided by 2 or 128. The high
Byte of the watchdog timer register can be set to a pre-specified reload value (stored in
WDTREL).
Each time it is serviced by the application software, the high byte of the watchdog timer is
reloaded. For security, rewrite WDTCON each time before the watchdog timer is serviced

ST10 recognizes a reset command. In between 50ns and 500ns a pulse can either be
filtered or recognized as valid, depending on the operating conditions and process
variations.

For this reason all minimum durations mentioned in this Chapter for the different kind of
reset events shall be carefully evaluated taking into account of the above requirements.
In particular, for Short Hardware Reset, where only 4 TCL is specified as minimum input
reset pulse duration, the operating frequency is a key factor. Examples:
●For a CPU clock of 64 MHz, 4 TCL is 31.25ns, so it would be filtered. In this case the
minimum becomes the one imposed by the filter (that is 500ns).
●For a CPU clock of 4 MHz, 4 TCL is 500ns. In this case the minimum from the formula
is coherent with the limit imposed by the filter.

20.2 Asynchronous reset
An asynchronous reset is triggered when RSTIN pin is pulled low while RPD pin is at low
level. Then the ST10F273E is immediately (after the input filter delay) forced in reset default
state. It pulls low RSTOUT
internal/external bus cycles, it switches buses (data, address and control signals) and I/O
pin drivers to high-impedance, it pulls high Port0 pins.
Note:If an asynchronous reset occurs during a read or write phase in internal memories, the
content of the memory itself could be corrupted: to avoid this, synchronous reset usage is
strongly recommended.
Power-on reset
The asynchronous reset must be used during the power-on of the device. Depending
on crystal or resonator frequency, the on-chip oscillator needs about 1ms to 10ms to
stabilize (Refer to Electrical Characteristics Section), with an already stable V
of the ST10F273E does not need a stabilized clock signal to detect an asynchronous reset,
so it is suitable for power-on conditions. T o ensure a proper reset sequence, the RSTIN
and the RPD pin must be held at low level until the device clock signal is stabilized and the
system configuration value on Port0 is settled.
At Power-on it is important to respect some additional constraints introduced by the start-up
phase of the different embedded modules.

In particular the on-chip voltage regulator needs at least 1ms to stabilize the internal 1.8V
for the core logic: this time is computed from when the external reference (V
) becomes
DD
stable (inside specification range, that is at least 4.5V). This is a constraint for the
application hardware (external voltage regulator): the RSTIN
pin assertion shall be extended
to guarantee the voltage regulator stabilization.
A second constraint is imposed by the embedded FLASH. When booting from internal
memory, starting from RSTIN
releasing, it needs a maximum of 1ms for its initialization:
before that, the internal reset (RST signal) is not released, so the CPU does not start code
execution in internal memory.
Note:This is not true if external memory is used (pin EA held low during reset phase). In this case,
once RSTIN
pin is released, and after few CPU clock (Filter delay plus 3...8 TCL), the
internal reset signal RST is released as well, so the code execution can start immediately
after. Obviously, an eventual access to the data in internal Flash is forbidden before its
initialization phase is completed: an eventual access during starting phase will return FFFFh
(just at the beginning), while later 009Bh (an illegal opcode trap can be generated).
At Power-on, the RSTIN pin shall be tied low for a minimum time that includes also the startup time of the main oscillator (t
synchronization time (t

Warning:It is recommended to provide the external hardware with a

not generate problems of over-current (higher value is
allowed if current is limited by the external hardware).
External current limitation is anyway recommended also to
avoid risks of damage in case of temporary short between
V
and ground: the internal 1.8V drivers are sized to drive

currents of several tens of Ampere, so the current shall be
limited by the external hardware. The limit of current is
imposed by power dissipation considerations (Refer to

20.3 Synchronous reset (warm reset)
A synchronous reset is triggered when RSTIN pin is pulled low while RPD pin is at high
level. In order to properly activate the internal reset logic of the device, the RSTIN
be held low, at least, during 4 TCL (2 periods of CPU clock): refer also to
details on minimum reset pulse duration. The I/O pins are set to high impedance and

register was previously set by software. Note that this bit is always cleared on power-on or

Short and long synchronous reset
Once the first maximum 16 TCL are elapsed (4+12TCL), the internal reset sequence starts.
It is 1024 TCL cycles long: at the end of it, and after other 8TCL the level of RSTIN
sampled (after the filter, see RSTF
Reset is flagged (Refer to
Chapter 19
in the drawings): if it is already at high level, only Short
for details on reset flags); if it is recognized still low,
the Long reset is flagged as well. The major difference between Long and Short reset is that
during the Long reset, also P0(15:13) become transparent, so it is possible to change the
clock options.
Warning:In case of a short pulse on RSTIN pin, and when Bidirectional
reset is enabled, the RSTIN
pin is held low by the internal
circuitry. At the end of the 1024 TCL cycles, the RTSIN
released, but due to the presence of the input analog filter the
internal input reset signal (RSTF
in the drawings) is released
later (from 50 to 500ns). This delay is in parallel with the
additional 8 TCL, at the end of which the internal input reset
line (RSTF
) is sampled, to decide if the reset event is Short or
Long. In particular:

CPU
or Long, depending on the real filter delay (between 50 and 500ns) and the CPU
frequency (RSTF
sampled High means Short reset, RSTF sampled Low means Long
reset). Note that in case a Long Reset is recognized, once the 8 TCL are elapsed, the
P0(15:13) pins becomes transparent, so the system clock can be re-configured. The
port returns not transparent 3-4TCL after the internal RSTF
signal becomes high.
The same behavior just described, occurs also when unidirectional reset is selected and
RSTIN
pin is held low till the end of the internal sequence (exactly 1024TCL + max 16 TCL)
and released exactly at that time.
Note:When running with CPU frequency lower than 40 MHz, the minimum valid reset pulse to be
recognized by the CPU (4 TCL) could be longer than the minimum analog filter delay (50ns);
so it might happen that a short reset pulse is not filtered by the analog input filter, but on the
other hand it is not long enough to trigger a CPU reset (shorter than 4 TCL): this would
generate a FLASH reset but not a system reset. In this condition, the FLASH answers
always with FFFFh, which leads to an illegal opcode and consequently a trap event is
generated.
Exit from synchronous reset state
The reset sequence is extended until RSTIN level becomes high. Besides, it is internally
prolonged by the FLASH initialization when EA
code execution restarts. The system configuration is latched from Port0, and ALE, RD
WR
/WRL pins are driven to their inactive level. The ST10F273E starts program execution
from memory location 00'0000h in code segment 0. This starting location will typically point
to the general initialization routine. Timing of synchronous reset sequence are summarized
in Figures 19 and 20 where a Short Reset event is shown, with particular highlighting on the

Synchronous reset and RPD pin
Whenever the RSTIN pin is pulled low (by external hardware or as a consequence of a
Bidirectional reset), the RPD internal weak pull-down is activated. The external capacitance
(if any) on RPD pin is slowly discharged through the internal weak pull-down. If the voltage
level on RPD pin reaches the input low threshold (around 2.5V), the reset event becomes
immediately asynchronous. In case of hardware reset (short or long) the situation goes
immediately to the one illustrated in
the input threshold: the asynchronous reset is completed coherently. To grant the normal
completion of a synchronous reset, the value of the capacitance shall be big enough to
maintain the voltage on RPD pin sufficient high along the duration of the internal reset
sequence.
For a Software or Watchdog reset events, an active synchronous reset is completed
regardless of the RPD status .
It is important to highlight that the signal that makes RPD status transparent under reset is
the internal RSTF
(after the noise filter).

A software reset sequence can be triggered at any time by the protected SRST (software
reset) instruction. This instruction can be deliberately executed within a program, e.g. to
leave bootstrap loader mode, or on a hardware trap that reveals system failure.
On execution of the SRST instruction, the internal reset sequence is started. The
microcontroller behavior is the same as for a synchronous short reset, except that only bits
P0.12...P0.8 are latched at the end of the reset sequence, while previously latched, bits
P0.7...P0.2 are cleared (that is written at ‘1’).

The Bidirectional Reset function is useful when external devices require a reset signal but
cannot be connected to RSTOUT
pin, because RSTOUT signal lasts during initialization. It
is, for instance, the case of external memory running initialization routine before the
execution of EINIT instruction.
Bidirectional reset function is enabled by setting bit 3 (BDRSTEN) in SYSCON register. It
only can be enabled during the initialization routine, before EINIT instruction is completed.
When enabled, the open drain of the RSTIN
pin is activated, pulling down the reset signal,
for the duration of the internal reset sequence (synchronous/asynchronous hardware,
synchronous software and synchronous watchdog timer resets). At the end of the internal
reset sequence the pull down is released and:
●After a Short Synchronous Bidirectional Hardware Reset, if RSTF is sampled low 8
TCL periods after the internal reset sequence completion (refer to
Figure 20
), the Short Reset becomes a Long Reset. On the contrary, if RSTF is

and
sampled high the device simply exits reset state.
●After a Software or Watchdog Bidirectional Reset, the device exits from reset. If RSTF
remains still low for at least 4 TCL periods (minimum time to recognize a Short
Hardware reset) after the reset exiting (refer to
93/179

and

), the Software

low for less than 4 TCL, the device simply exits reset state.
The Bidirectional reset is not effective in case RPD is held low, when a Software or
Watchdog reset event occurs. On the contrary, if a Software or Watchdog Bidirectional reset
event is active and RPD becomes low, the RSTIN

routine.
WDTCON flags
Similarly to what already highlighted in the previous section when discussing about Short
reset and the degeneration into Long reset, similar situations may occur when Bidirectional
reset is enabled. The presence of the internal filter on RSTIN
RSTIN
is released, the internal signal after the filter (see RSTF in the drawings) is delayed,
so it remains still active (low) for a while. It means that depending on the internal clock
speed, a short reset may be recognized as a long reset: the WDTCON flags are set
accordingly.
Besides, when either Software or Watchdog bidirectional reset events occur, again when the
RSTIN
pin is released (at the end of the internal reset sequence), the RSTF internal signal
(after the filter) remains low for a while, and depending on the clock frequency it is
recognized high or low: 8TCL after the completion of the internal sequence, the level of
RSTF
signal is sampled, and if recognized still low a Hardware reset sequence starts, and
WDTCON will flag this last event, masking the previous one (Software or Watchdog reset).
Typically, a Short Hardware reset is recognized, unless the RSTIN
internal signal RSTF

20.7 Reset circuitry
Internal reset circuitry is described in
resistor of 50kΩ to 250kΩ (The minimum reset time must be calculated using the lowest
value).
It also provides a programmable (BDRSTEN bit of SYSCON register) pull-down to output
internal reset state signal (synchronous reset, watchdog timer reset or software reset).

RSTIN
pin provides an internal pull-up
This bidirectional reset function is useful in applications where external devices require a
reset signal but cannot be connected to
RSTOUT
pin.
This is the case of an external memory running codes before EINIT (end of initialization)
instruction is executed.
RSTOUT
pin is pulled high only when EINIT is executed.
The RPD pin provides an internal weak pull-down resistor which discharges external
capacitor at a typical rate of 200µA. If bit PWDCFG of SYSCON register is set, an internal
pull-up resistor is activated at the end of the reset sequence. This pull-up will charge any
capacitor connected on RPD pin.
The simplest way to reset the ST10F273E is to insert a capacitor C1 between
and V
RPD pin and V
, and a capacitor between RPD pin and VSS (C0) with a pull-up resistor R0 between
SS
. The input
DD
RSTIN
provides an internal pull-up device equalling a resistor of
RSTIN
pin
50kΩ to 250kΩ (the minimum rese t ti me m us t b e de termin ed b y the lo w est value). Select C1
that produce a sufficient discharge time to permit the internal or external oscillator and / or
internal PLL and the on-chip voltage regulator to stabilize.

To ensure correct power-up reset with controlled supply current consumption, specially if
clock signal requires a long period of time to stabilize, an asynchronous hardware reset is
required during power-up. For this reason, it is recommended to connect the external R0-C0
circuit shown in Figure 28 to the RPD pin. On power-up, the logical low level on RPD pin
forces an asynchronous hardware reset when
RSTIN
is asserted low. The external pull-up
R0 will then charge the capacitor C0. Note that an internal pull-down device on RPD pin is
turned on when
RSTIN
pin is low, and causes the external capacitor (C0) to begin
discharging at a typical rate of 100-200µA. With this mechanism, after power-up reset, short
low pulses applied on
RSTIN
produce synchronous hardware reset. If
RSTIN
is asserted
longer than the time needed for C0 to be discharged by the internal pull-down device, then
the device is forced in an asynchronous reset. This mechanism insures recovery from very
catastrophic failure.

The minimum reset circuit of
Figure 28
is not adequate when the
RSTIN
pin is driven from
the ST10F273E itself during software or watchdog triggered resets, because of the
capacitor C1 that will keep the voltage on
RSTIN
pin above VIL after the end of the internal
reset sequence, and thus will trigger an asynchronous reset sequence.
Figure 29 shows an example of a reset circuit. In this example, R1-C1 external circuit is only
used to generate power-up or manual reset, and R0-C0 circuit on RPD is used for power-up
reset and to exit from Power down mode. Diode D1 creates a wired-OR gate connection to
the reset pin and may be replaced by open-collector Schmitt trigger buffer. Diode D2
provides a faster cycle time for repetitive power-on resets.
R2 is an optional pull-up for faster recovery and correct biasing of TTL Open Collector
drivers.
