The ST72104G-Auto, ST72215G-Auto,
ST72216G-Auto and ST72254G-Auto devices are
members of the ST7 microcontroller family. They
can be grouped as follows:
– ST72254G-Auto devices are designed for mid-
range applications with ADC and I²C interface
capabilities.
– ST72215/6G-Auto devices target the same
range of applications but without I²C interface.
– ST72104G-Auto devices are for applications that
do not need ADC and I²C peripherals.
All devices are based on a common industrystandard 8-bit core, featuring an enhanced instruc

Under software control, all devices can be placed
in WAIT, SLOW, or HALT mode, reducing power
consumption when the application is in idle or
standby state.
The enhanced instruction set and addressing
modes of the ST7 offer both power and flexibility to
software developers, enabling the design of highly
efficient and compact application code. In addition
to standard 8-bit data management, all ST7 micro
controllers feature true bit manipulation, 8x8 unsigned multiplication and indirect addressing
modes.

Flash devices have a single voltage non-volatile
Flash memory that may be programmed in-situ (or
plugged in a programming tool) on a byte-by-byte
basis.
4.2 MAIN FEATURES
■ Remote In-Situ Programming (ISP) mode
■ Up to 16 bytes programmed in the same cycle
■ MTP memory (Multiple Time Programmable)
■ Readout memory protection against piracy
4.3 STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION
The Flash program memory is organized in a single 8-bit wide memory block which can be used for
storing both code and data constants.
The Flash program memory is mapped in the upper part of the ST7 addressing space and includes
the reset and interrupt user vector area.
4.4 IN-SITU PROGRAMMING (ISP) MODE
The Flash program memory can be programmed
using Remote ISP mode. This ISP mode allows
the contents of the ST7 program memory to be up
dated using a standard ST7 programming tools after the device is mounted on the application board.
This feature can be implemented with a minimum
number of added components and board area im
pact.
An example Remote ISP hardware interface to the
standard ST7 programming tool is described be
low. For more details on ISP programming, refer to
the ST7 Programming Specification.
This mode needs five signals (plus the VDD signal
if necessary) to be connected to the programming
tool. This signals are:
– RESET: device reset
–VSS: device ground power supply
– ISPCLK: ISP output serial clock pin
– ISPDATA: ISP input serial data pin
– ISPSEL: Remote ISP mode selection. This pin
must be connected to V
board through a pull-down resistor.

SS
If any of these pins are used for other purposes on
the application, a serial resistor has to be imple
mented to avoid a conflict if the other device forces
the signal level.
Figure 4 shows a typical hardware interface to a
standard ST7 programming tool. For more details
on the pin locations, refer to the device pinout de
scription.

Remote ISP Overview
The Remote ISP mode is initiated by a specific sequence on the dedicated ISPSEL pin.
The Remote ISP is performed in three steps:
– Selection of the RAM execution mode
– Download of Remote ISP code in RAM
– Execution of Remote ISP code in RAM to pro-
gram the user program into the Flash
Remote ISP hardware configuration
In Remote ISP mode, the ST7 has to be supplied
with power (V
and VSS) and a clock signal (os-
DD
cillator and application crystal circuit for example).
APPLICATION
4.5 MEMORY READOUT PROTECTION
The readout protection is enabled through an option bit.
For Flash devices, when this option is selected,
the program and data stored in the Flash memory
are protected against readout piracy (including a
re-write protection). When this protection option is
removed the entire Flash program memory is first
automatically erased. However, the E
2
PROM data
memory (when available) can be protected only
with ROM devices.
This CPU has a full 8-bit architecture and contains
six internal registers allowing efficient 8-bit data
manipulation.
5.2 MAIN FEATURES
■ 63 basic instructions
■ Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply
■ 17 main addressing modes
■ Two 8-bit index registers
■ 16-bit stack pointer
■ Low power modes
■ Maskable hardware interrupts
■ Non-maskable software interrupt
5.3 CPU REGISTERS
The six CPU registers shown in Figure 5 are not
present in the memory mapping and are accessed
by specific instructions.

Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operands and the results of the
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
In indexed addressing modes, these 8-bit registers
are used to create either effective addresses or
temporary storage areas for data manipulation.
(The Cross-Assembler generates a precede in
struction (PRE) to indicate that the following instruction refers to the Y register.)
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt automatic procedures (not pushed to and popped from
the stack).
Program Counter (PC)
The program counter is a 16-bit register containing
the address of the next instruction to be executed
by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL
(Program Counter Low which is the LSB) and PCH
(Program Counter High which is the MSB).
CPU REGISTERS (cont’d)
CONDITION CODE REGISTER (CC)
Read/Write
Reset Value: 111x1xxx
70
111HINZC
The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the interrupt mask and four flags representative of the
result of the instruction just executed. This register
can also be handled by the PUSH and POP in
structions.
These bits can be individually tested and/or controlled by specific instructions.
Bit 4 = H Half carry
This bit is set by hardware when a carry occurs be-
tween bits 3 and 4 of the ALU during an ADD or
ADC instruction. It is reset by hardware during the
same instructions.
0: No half carry has occurred.
1: A half carry has occurred.
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruction. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subroutines.
Bit 3 = I Interrupt mask
This bit is set by hardware when entering in interrupt or by software to disable all interrupts except
the TRAP software interrupt. This bit is cleared by
software.
0: Interrupts are enabled.
1: Interrupts are disabled.
This bit is controlled by the RIM, SIM and IRET instructions and is tested by the JRM and JRNM instructions.
Note: Interrupts requested while I is set are
latched and can be processed when I is cleared.
By default an interrupt routine is not interruptible
-
because the I bit is set by hardware at the start of
the routine and reset by the IRET instruction at the
end of the routine. If the I bit is cleared by software
in the interrupt routine, pending interrupts are
serviced regardless of the priority level of the cur
rent interrupt routine.
Bit 2 = N Negative
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. It is repre-
sentative of the result sign of the last arithmetic,
logical or data manipulation. It is a copy of the 7
th
bit of the result.
0: The result of the last operation is positive or null.
1: The result of the last operation is negative
(that is, the most significant bit is a logic 1).
This bit is accessed by the JRMI and JRPL instructions.
Bit 1 = Z Zero
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This bit indicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical
or data manipulation is zero.
0: The result of the last operation is different from
zero.
1: The result of the last operation is zero.
This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test
instructions.
Bit 0 = C Carry/borrow
This bit is set and cleared by hardware and soft-
ware. It indicates an overflow or an underflow has
occurred during the last arithmetic operation.
0: No overflow or underflow has occurred.
1: An overflow or underflow has occurred.
This bit is driven by the SCF and RCF instructions
and tested by the JRC and JRNC instructions. It is
also affected by the “bit test and branch”, shift and
rotate instructions.
The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is always pointing to the next free location in the stack.
It is then decremented after data has been pushed
onto the stack and incremented before data is
popped from the stack (see
Figure 6).
Since the stack is 128 bytes deep, the 9 most significant bits are forced by hardware. Following an
MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruc
tion (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset value (the SP6 to SP0 bits are set) which is the stack
higher address.
The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD in
struction.
Note: When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack
Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit, with
out indicating the stack overflow. The previously
stored information is then overwritten and there
fore lost. The stack also wraps in case of an underflow.
The stack is used to save the return address during a subroutine call and the CPU context during
an interrupt. The user may also directly manipulate
the stack by means of the PUSH and POP instruc
tions. In the case of an interrupt, the PCL is stored
at the first location pointed to by the SP. Then the
other registers are stored in the next locations as
shown in
Figure 6.
– When an interrupt is received, the SP is decre-
mented and the context is pushed on the stack.
– On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented
and the context is popped from the stack.
A subroutine call occupies two locations and an interrupt five locations in the stack area.
The ST72104G-Auto, ST72215G-Auto,
ST72216G-Auto and ST72254G-Auto microcon
trollers include a range of utility features for securing the application in critical situations (for example, in case of a power brown-out), and reducing
the number of external components. An overview

cordance with the input voltage. It can be pulled
low by external circuitry to reset the device. See
electrical characteristics section for more details.
A RESET signal originating from an external
source must have a duration of at least t
h(RSTL)in
order to be recognized. This detection is asynchro
in
nous and therefore the MCU can enter reset state
even in HALT mode.
The RESET pin is an asynchronous signal which
plays a major role in EMS performance. In a noisy
environment, it is recommended to follow the
guidelines mentioned in the electrical characteris
tics section.
Two RESET sequences can be associated with
this RESET source: short or long external reset
pulse (see
Figure 11).
Starting from the external RESET pulse recognition, the device RESET pin acts as an output that
is pulled low during at least t
w(RSTL)out
.

The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by
four different source types coming from the multioscillator block:
■ an external source
■ 4 crystal or ceramic resonator oscillators
■ an external RC oscillator
■ an internal high frequency RC oscillator
Each oscillator is optimized for a given frequency
range in terms of consumption and is selectable
through the option byte. The associated hardware
configuration are shown in
Table 3. Refer to the
electrical characteristics section for more details.
External Clock Source
In this external clock mode, a clock signal (square,
sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive
the OSC1 pin while the OSC2 pin is tied to ground.
Crystal/Ceramic Oscillators
This family of oscillators has the advantage of producing a very accurate rate on the main clock of
the ST7. The selection within a list of four oscilla
tors with different frequency ranges has to be done
by option byte in order to reduce consumption. In
this mode of the multi-oscillator, the resonator and
the load capacitors have to be placed as close as
possible to the oscillator pins in order to minimize
output distortion and start-up stabilization time.
The loading capacitance values must be adjusted
according to the selected oscillator.
These oscillators are not stopped during the RESET phase to avoid losing time in the oscillator
start-up phase.
tion should not be used in applications that require
accurate timing.
In this mode, the two oscillator pins have to be tied
to ground.
This oscillator allows a low cost solution for the
main clock of the ST7 using only an external resis
tor and an external capacitor. The frequency of the
external RC oscillator (in the range of some MHz)
is fixed by the resistor and the capacitor values.
Consequently in this MO mode, the accuracy of
the clock is dependent on V
, TA, process varia-
DD
tions and the accuracy of the discrete components
used. This option should not be used in applica
tions that require accurate timing.
Internal RC Oscillator
The internal RC oscillator mode is based on the
same principle as the external RC oscillator includ
ing the resistance and the capacitance of the device. This mode is the most cost effective one with
the drawback of a lower frequency accuracy. Its
frequency is in the range of several MHz. This op
The Clock Security System (CSS) protects the
ST7 against main clock problems. To allow the in
tegration of the security features in the applications, it is based on a clock filter control and an Internal safe oscillator. The CSS can be enabled or
disabled by option byte.
6.4.1 Clock Filter Control
The clock filter is based on a clock frequency limitation function.
This filter function is able to detect and filter high
frequency spikes on the ST7 main clock.
If the oscillator is not working properly (e.g. working at a harmonic frequency of the resonator), the
current active oscillator clock can be totally fil
tered, and then no clock signal is available for the
ST7 from this oscillator anymore. If the original
clock source recovers, the filtering is stopped au
tomatically and the oscillator supplies the ST7
clock.
6.4.2 Safe Oscillator Control
The safe oscillator of the CSS block is a low frequency back-up clock source (see Figure 12).
If the clock signal disappears (due to a broken or
disconnected resonator...) during a safe oscillator
period, the safe oscillator delivers a low frequency
clock signal which allows the ST7 to perform some
rescue operations.
Automatically, the ST7 clock source switches back
from the safe oscillator if the original clock source
recovers.
Limitation detection
The automatic safe oscillator selection is notified
by hardware setting the CSSD bit of the CRSR
register. An interrupt can be generated if the CS
SIE bit has been previously set.
These two bits are described in the CRSR register
description.
6.4.3 Low Power Modes
ModeDescription
WAIT
HALT
No effect on CSS. CSS interrupt cause the
device to exit from Wait mode.
The CRSR register is frozen. The CSS (including the safe oscillator) is disabled until
HALT mode is exited. The previous CSS
configuration resumes when the MCU is
woken up by an interrupt with “exit from
HALT mode” capability or from the counter
reset value when the MCU is woken up by a
RESET.
6.4.4 Interrupts
The CSS interrupt event generates an interrupt if
the corresponding Enable Control Bit (CSSIE) is
set and the interrupt mask in the CC register is re
set (RIM instruction).

This bit indicates that the last RESET was generated by the watchdog peripheral. It is set by hardware (Watchdog RESET) and cleared by software
(writing zero) or an LVD RESET (to ensure a sta

Application notes
The LVDRF flag is not cleared when another RESET type occurs (external or watchdog), the
LVDRF flag remains set to keep trace of the origi
nal failure.
In this case, a watchdog reset can be detected by
software while an external reset cannot.

Table 4. Clock, Reset and Supply Register Map and Reset Values
The Main Clock Controller (MCC) supplies the
clock for the ST7 CPU and its internal peripherals.
It allows SLOW power saving mode to be man
aged by the application.
All functions are managed by the Miscellaneous
register 1 (MISCR1).
The MCC block consists of:
■ A programmable CPU clock prescaler
■ A clock-out signal to supply external devices
The prescaler allows the selection of the main
clock frequency and is controlled by three bits of
-
the MISCR1: CP1, CP0 and SMS.
The clock-out capability consists of a dedicated
I/O port pin configurable as an f
drive external devices. It is controlled by the MCO
bit in the MISCR1 register.
See Section 10 "MISCELLANEOUS REGIS-
TERS" on page 36 for more details.
Figure 13. Main Clock Controller (MCC) Block Diagram
The ST7 core may be interrupted by one of two different methods: maskable hardware interrupts as
listed in the Interrupt Mapping Table and a nonmaskable software interrupt (TRAP). The Interrupt
processing flowchart is shown in
The maskable interrupts must be enabled by
clearing the I bit in order to be serviced. However,
disabled interrupts may be latched and processed
when they are enabled (see external interrupts
subsection).
Note: After reset, all interrupts are disabled.
When an interrupt has to be serviced:
– Normal processing is suspended at the end of
the current instruction execution.
– The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto
the stack.
– The I bit of the CC register is set to prevent addi-
tional interrupts.
– The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of
the interrupt to service and the first instruction of
the interrupt service routine is fetched (refer to
the Interrupt Mapping Table for vector address
es).
The interrupt service routine should finish with the
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,
the I bit will be cleared and the main program will
resume.
Priority Management
By default, a servicing interrupt cannot be interrupted because the I bit is set by hardware entering in interrupt routine.
In the case when several interrupts are simultaneously pending, an hardware priority defines which
one will be serviced first (see the Interrupt Map
ping Table).
Interrupts and Low Power Mode
All interrupts allow the processor to leave the
WAIT low power mode. Only external and specifi
cally mentioned interrupts allow the processor to
leave the HALT low power mode (refer to the “Exit
from HALT” column in the Interrupt Mapping Ta
ble).
7.1 NON-MASKABLE SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
This interrupt is entered when the TRAP instruction is executed regardless of the state of the I bit.

It will be serviced according to the flowchart on

7.2 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
External interrupt vectors can be loaded into the
PC register if the corresponding external interrupt
occurred and if the I bit is cleared. These interrupts
allow the processor to leave the Halt low power
mode.
The external interrupt polarity is selected through
the miscellaneous register or interrupt register (if
available).
An external interrupt triggered on edge will be
latched and the interrupt request automatically
cleared upon entering the interrupt service routine.
If several input pins, connected to the same interrupt vector, are configured as interrupts, their signals are logically NANDed before entering the
edge/level detection block.
Caution: The type of sensitivity defined in the Miscellaneous or Interrupt register (if available) applies to the ei source. In case of a NANDed source
(as described on the I/O ports section), a low level
on an I/O pin configured as input with interrupt,
masks the interrupt request even in case of risingedge sensitivity.
7.3 PERIPHERAL INTERRUPTS
Different peripheral interrupt flags in the status
register are able to cause an interrupt when they
are active if both:
– The I bit of the CC register is cleared.
– The corresponding enable bit is set in the control
register.
If any of these two conditions is false, the interrupt
is latched and thus remains pending.
Clearing an interrupt request is done by:
– Writing “0” to the corresponding bit in the status
register or
– Access to the status register while the flag is set
followed by a read or write of an associated reg
ister.
Note: The clearing sequence resets the internal
latch. A pending interrupt (that is, waiting to be en
abled) will therefore be lost if the clear sequence is
executed.
To give a large measure of flexibility to the application in terms of power consumption, three main
power saving modes are implemented in the ST7
Figure 15).
(see
After a RESET the normal operating mode is se-
lected by default (RUN mode). This mode drives
the device (CPU and embedded peripherals) by
means of a master clock which is based on the
main oscillator frequency divided by 2 (f
CPU
).
From Run mode, the different power saving
modes may be selected by setting the relevant
register bits or by calling the specific ST7 software
instruction whose action depends on the oscillator
status.

WAIT
8.2 SLOW MODE
This mode has two targets:
– To reduce power consumption by decreasing the
internal clock in the device,
– To adapt the internal clock frequency (f
CPU
) to
the available supply voltage.
SLOW mode is controlled by three bits in the
MISCR1 register: the SMS bit which enables or
disables Slow mode and two CPx bits which select
the internal slow frequency (f
CPU
).
In this mode, the oscillator frequency can be divided by 4, 8, 16 or 32 instead of 2 in normal operating mode. The CPU and peripherals are clocked at
this lower frequency.
Note: SLOW-WAIT mode is activated when entering WAIT mode while the device is already in
SLOW mode.
WAIT mode places the MCU in a low power consumption mode by stopping the CPU.
This power saving mode is selected by calling the
“WFI” ST7 software instruction.
All peripherals remain active. During WAIT mode,
the I bit of the CC register is forced to 0, to enable
all interrupts. All other registers and memory re
main unchanged. The MCU remains in WAIT
mode until an interrupt or Reset occurs, whereup
on the Program Counter branches to the starting
address of the interrupt or Reset service routine.
The MCU will remain in WAIT mode until a Reset
or an Interrupt occurs, causing it to wake up.

Notes:
1. Before servicing an interrupt, the CC register is pushed
on the stack. The I bit of the CC register is set during the
interrupt routine and cleared when the CC register is
popped.
The HALT mode is the lowest power consumption
mode of the MCU. It is entered by executing the
ST7 HALT instruction (see
Figure 19).
The MCU can exit HALT mode on reception of either a specific interrupt (see Table 5, “Interrupt
Mapping,” on page 26) or a RESET. When exiting
HALT mode by means of a RESET or an interrupt,
the oscillator is immediately turned on and the
4096 CPU cycle delay is used to stabilize the os
cillator. After the start up delay, the CPU resumes
operation by servicing the interrupt or by fetching
the reset vector which woke it up (see
Figure 18).
When entering HALT mode, the I bit in the CC register is forced to 0 to enable interrupts. Therefore,
if an interrupt is pending, the MCU wakes immedi
ately.
In the HALT mode the main oscillator is turned off
causing all internal processing to be stopped, in
cluding the operation of the on-chip peripherals.
All peripherals are not clocked except the ones
which get their clock supply from another clock
generator (such as an external or auxiliary oscilla
tor).
The compatibility of Watchdog operation with
HALT mode is configured by the “WDGHALT” op
tion bit of the option byte. The HALT instruction
when executed while the Watchdog system is en
abled, can generate a Watchdog RESET (see
Section 15.1 "OPTION BYTES" on page 129 for
more details).

Notes:
1. WDGHALT is an option bit. See option byte section for

2. Peripheral clocked with an external clock source can
still be active.
3. Only some specific interrupts can exit the MCU from
HALT mode (such as external interrupt). Refer to Table 5,
“Interrupt Mapping,” on page 26 for more details.
4. Before servicing an interrupt, the CC register is pushed
on the stack. The I bit of the CC register is set during the
interrupt routine and cleared when the CC register is
popped.
The I/O ports offer different functional modes:
– transfer of data through digital inputs and outputs
and for specific pins:
– external interrupt generation
– alternate signal input/output for the on-chip pe-
ripherals.
An I/O port contains up to 8 pins. Each pin can be
programmed independently as digital input (with or
without interrupt generation) or digital output.
9.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each port has two main registers:
– Data Register (DR)
– Data Direction Register (DDR)
and one optional register:
– Option Register (OR)
Each I/O pin may be programmed using the corre-
sponding register bits in the DDR and OR registers: bit X corresponding to pin X of the port. The
same correspondence is used for the DR register.
The following description takes into account the
OR register, (for specific ports which do not pro
vide this register refer to the I/O Port Implementation section). The generic I/O block diagram is
shown in
Figure 20.
9.2.1 Input Modes
The input configuration is selected by clearing the
corresponding DDR register bit.
In this case, reading the DR register returns the
digital value applied to the external I/O pin.
Different input modes can be selected by software
through the OR register.
Notes:
1. Writing the DR register modifies the latch value
but does not affect the pin status.
2. When switching from input to output mode, the
DR register has to be written first to drive the cor
rect level on the pin as soon as the port is configured as an output.
3. Do not use read/modify/write instructions (BSET
or BRES) to modify the DR register.
External interrupt function
When an I/O is configured as Input with Interrupt,
an event on this I/O can generate an external inter
rupt request to the CPU.
Each pin can independently generate an interrupt
request. The interrupt sensitivity is independently
programmable using the sensitivity bits in the Mis
-
cellaneous register.
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedi-
cated group of I/O port pins (see pinout description
and interrupt section). If several input pins are se
lected simultaneously as interrupt source, these
are logically NANDed. For this reason if one of the
interrupt pins is tied low, it masks the other ones.
In case of a floating input with interrupt configuration, special care must be taken when changing
the configuration (see
Figure 21).
The external interrupts are hardware interrupts,
which means that the request latch (not accessible
directly by the application) is automatically cleared
when the corresponding interrupt vector is
fetched. To clear an unwanted pending interrupt
by software, the sensitivity bits in the Miscellane
ous register must be modified.
9.2.2 Output Modes
The output configuration is selected by setting the
corresponding DDR register bit. In this case, writ
ing the DR register applies this digital value to the
I/O pin through the latch. Then reading the DR reg
ister returns the previously stored value.
Two different output modes can be selected by
software through the OR register: Output push-pull
and open-drain.
DR register value and output pin status:
DRPush-pullOpen-drain
0V
1V
SS
DD

Floating
9.2.3 Alternate Functions
When an on-chip peripheral is configured to use a
pin, the alternate function is automatically select
ed. This alternate function takes priority over the
standard I/O programming.
When the signal is coming from an on-chip peripheral, the I/O pin is automatically configured in output mode (push-pull or open drain according to the
peripheral).
When the signal is going to an on-chip peripheral,
the I/O pin must be configured in input mode. In
this case, the pin state is also digitally readable by
addressing the DR register.
Note: Input pull-up configuration can cause unexpected value at the input of the alternate peripheral
input. When an on-chip peripheral use a pin as in
put and output, this pin has to be configured in input floating mode.
