ISTICS for more details.
3. OSC1 and OSC2 pins connect a crystal/ceramic resonator, or an external source to the on-chip oscillator; see Section 2 PIN DESCRIPTION and Section 12.5 CLOCK AND TIMING CHARACTERISTICS for
more details.
4. On the chip, each I/O port has 8 pads. Pads that are not bonded to external pins are in input pull-up configuration after reset. The configuration of these pads must be kept at reset state to avoid added current
consumption.
5. It is mandatory to connect all available VDD and VREF pins to the supply voltage and all VSS and
VSSA pins to ground.

Notes:
1. The contents of the I/O port DR registers are readable only in output configuration. In input configuration, the values of the I/O pins are returned instead of the DR register contents.
2. The bits associated with unavailable pins must always keep their reset value.
3. The Timer A Input Capture 2 pin is not available (not bonded).
– In Flash devices:
The TAIC2HR and TAIC2LR registers are not present. Bit 4 of the TACSR register (ICF2) is forced
by hardware to 0. Consequently, the corresponding interrupt cannot be used.
4. The Timer A Output Compare 2 pin is not available (not bonded).
– In ROM devices:
The TAOC2HR and TAOC2LR Registers can be used in PWM mode or for timebase generation.
– In Flash devices:
The TAOC2HR and TAOC2LR Registers are write only, reading them will return undefined values.
Bit 3 of the TACSR register (OCF2) is forced by hardware to 0. Consequently, the corresponding interrupt cannot be used.
Caution: The TAIC2HR and TAIC2LR registers and the ICF2 and OCF2 flags are not present in the
ST72F324L but are present in the emulator. For compatibility with the emulator, it is recommended to per
form a dummy access (read or write) to the TAIC2LR and TAOC2LR registers to clear the interrupt flags.

4 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ST72324Lxx
4.1 Introduction
The ST7 dual voltage High Density Flash
(HDFlash) is a non-volatile memory that can be
electrically erased as a single block or by individu
al sectors and programmed on a Byte-by-Byte basis using an external VPP supply.
The HDFlash devices can be programmed and
erased off-board (plugged in a programming tool)
or on-board using ICP (In-Circuit Programming) or
IAP (In-Application Programming).
The array matrix organisation allows each sector
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
other sectors.
4.2 Main Features
■ Three Flash programming modes:
– Insertion in a programming tool. In this mode,
all sectors including option bytes can be pro
-
grammed or erased.
– ICP (In-Circuit Programming). In this mode, all
sectors including option bytes can be pro
-
grammed or erased without removing the device from the application board.
– IAP (In-Application Programming) In this
mode, all sectors except Sector 0, can be pro
-
grammed or erased without removing the device from the application board and while the
application is running.
■ ICT (In-Circuit Testing) for downloading and
executing user application test patterns in RAM
■ Read-out protection
■ Register Access Security System (RASS) to
prevent accidental programming or erasing
4.3 Structure
The Flash memory is organised in sectors and can
be used for both code and data storage.
Depending on the overall Flash memory size in the
microcontroller device, there are up to three user
sectors (see
Table 4). Each of these sectors can
be erased independently to avoid unnecessary
erasing of the whole Flash memory when only a
partial erasing is required.
The first two sectors have a fixed size of 4 Kbytes
Figure 7). They are mapped in the upper part
(see
of the ST7 addressing space so the reset and interrupt vectors are located in Sector 0 (F000hFFFFh).
Table 4. Sectors available in Flash devices
Flash Size (bytes)Available Sectors
4KSector 0
8KSectors 0,1
> 8KSectors 0,1, 2
4.3.1 Read-out Protection
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a
protection against Program Memory content ex
traction and against write access to Flash memory. Even if no protection can be considered as totally unbreakable, the feature provides a very high
level of protection for a general purpose microcon
troller.
In flash devices, this protection is removed by reprogramming the option. In this case, the entire
program memory is first automatically erased.
Read-out protection selection depends on the device type:
– In Flash devices it is enabled and removed
through the FMP_R bit in the option byte.
– In ROM devices it is enabled by mask option
specified in the Option List.

4.4 ICC Interface
ICC needs a minimum of 5 and up to 6 pins to be
connected to the programming tool (see
Figure 8).
These pins are:

Notes:
1. If the ICCCLK or ICCDATA pins are only used
as outputs in the application, no signal isolation is
necessary. As soon as the Programming Tool is
plugged to the board, even if an ICC session is not
in progress, the ICCCLK and ICCDATA pins are
not available for the application. If they are used as
inputs by the application, isolation such as a serial
resistor has to implemented in case another de
vice forces the signal. Refer to the Programming
Tool documentation for recommended resistor val
ues.
2. During the ICC session, the programming tool
must control the
flicts between the programming tool and the application reset circuit if it drives more than 5mA at
high level (push pull output or pull-up resistor<1K).
A schottky diode can be used to isolate the appli
cation RESET circuit in this case. When using a
classical RC network with R>1K or a reset man
RESET pin. This can lead to con-
– ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin
– ICCDATA: ICC input/output serial data pin
– ICCSEL/VPP: programming voltage
– OSC1(or OSCIN): main clock input for exter-
nal source
–VDD: application board power supply (option-
al, see Figure 8, Note 3)

In all cases the user must ensure that no external

ICC session.
3. The use of Pin 7 of the ICC connector depends
on the Programming Tool architecture. This pin
-
must be connected when using most ST Program
ming Tools (it is used to monitor the application
-
power supply). Please refer to the Programming
Tool manual.
4. External clock ICC entry mode is mandatory in
this device. Pin 9 must be connected to the OSC1

4.5 ICP (In-Circuit Programming)
To perform ICP the microcontroller must be
switched to ICC (In-Circuit Communication) mode
by an external controller or programming tool us
-
ing 36-pulse mode.
Depending on the ICP code downloaded in RAM,
Flash memory programming can be fully custom
ized (number of bytes to program, program locations, or selection serial communication interface
for downloading).
When using an STMicroelectronics or third-party
programming tool that supports ICP and the spe
cific microcontroller device, the user needs only to
implement the ICP hardware interface on the ap
plication board (see Figure 8). For more details on
the pin locations, refer to the device pinout description.
4.6 IAP (In-Application Programming)
This mode uses a BootLoader program previously
stored in Sector 0 by the user (in ICP mode or by
plugging the device in a programming tool).
This mode is fully controlled by user software. This
allows it to be adapted to the user application, (us
er-defined strategy for entering programming
mode, choice of communications protocol used to
fetch the data to be stored, etc.). For example, it is
possible to download code from the SPI, SCI, USB
or CAN interface and program it in the Flash. IAP
mode can be used to program any of the Flash
sectors except Sector 0, which is write/erase pro
tected to allow recovery in case errors occur during the programming operation.

These 8-bit registers are used to create effective
addresses or as temporary storage areas for data
manipulation. (The Cross-Assembler generates a
precede instruction (PRE) to indicate that the fol
lowing instruction refers to the Y register.)
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt automatic procedures.
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).

The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the interrupt masksand 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.
Arithmetic Management Bits
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 instructions. 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 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’s a copy of the re
sult 7th bit.
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.

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 10).
Since the stack is 256 bytes deep, the 8 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 SP7 to SP0 bits are set) which is the stack
higher address.

CALL
Subroutine

Event
PUSH YPOP YIRET
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 10.
– 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.
If the clock frequency input to the PLL is in the
range 2 to 4 MHz, the PLL can be used to multiply
the frequency by two to obtain an f
OSC2
of 4 to 8
MHz. The PLL is enabled by option byte. If the PLL
is disabled, then f
OSC2 = fOSC
/2.
Caution: The PLL is not recommended for applications where timing accuracy is required. See
Section 6.1 on page 23.

6.2 MULTI-OSCILLATOR (MO)
The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by
three different source types coming from the multioscillator block:
■ an external source
■ 4 crystal or ceramic resonator oscillators
■ 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
configurations are shown in
Table 6. Refer to the
electrical characteristics section for more details.
Caution: The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not
be left unconnected. For the purposes of Failure
Mode and Effect Analysis, it should be noted that if
the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins are left unconnected,
the ST7 main oscillator may start and, in this con
figuration, could generate an f
clock frequency
OSC
-
in excess of the allowed maximum (>16MHz.),
putting the ST7 in an unsafe/undefined state. The
product behaviour must therefore be considered
undefined when the OSC pins are left unconnect
-
ed.
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 4 oscillators
with different frequency ranges has to be done by
option byte in order to reduce consumption (refer
Section 14.1 on page 140 for more details on
to
the frequency ranges). In this mode of the multioscillator, the resonator and the load capacitors
have to be placed as close as possible to the oscil
lator 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.
Internal RC Oscillator
This oscillator allows a low cost solution for the
main clock of the ST7 using only an internal resis
tor and capacitor. Internal RC oscillator mode has
the drawback of a lower frequency accuracy and
should not be used in applications that require ac
curate timing.
In this mode, the two oscillator pins have to be tied
to ground.
The reset sequence manager includes two RESET sources as shown in Figure 13:
■ External RESET source pulse
■ Internal WATCHDOG RESET
These sources act on the RESET pin and it is always kept low during the delay phase.
The RESET service routine vector is fixed at addresses FFFEh-FFFFh in the ST7 memory map.
The basic RESET sequence consists of 3 phases
as shown in
■ Active Phase depending on the RESET source
■ 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay (selected by
Figure 12:
option byte)
■ RESET vector fetch
The 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay allows the
oscillator to stabilise and ensures that recovery
has taken place from the Reset state. The shorter
or longer clock cycle delay should be selected by
option byte to correspond to the stabilization time
of the external oscillator used in the application.
The RESET vector fetch phase duration is 2 clock
cycles.

cordance with the input voltage. It can be pulled
low by external circuitry to reset the device. See
Electrical Characteristic 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.
6.3.3 External Power-On RESET
To start up the microcontroller correctly, the user
must ensure by means of an external reset circuit
that the reset signal is held low until V

is over

A proper reset signal for a slow rising VDD supply
can generally be provided by an external RC net
work connected to the RESET pin.

7 INTERRUPTS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The ST7 enhanced interrupt management provides the following features:
■ Hardware interrupts
■ Software interrupt (TRAP)
■ Nested or concurrent interrupt management
with flexible interrupt priority and level
management:
– Up to 4 software programmable nesting levels
– Up to 16 interrupt vectors fixed by hardware
– 2 non maskable events: RESET, TRAP
This interrupt management is based on:
– Bit 5 and bit 3 of the CPU CC register (I1:0),
– Interrupt software priority registers (ISPRx),
– Fixed interrupt vector addresses located at the
high addresses of the memory map (FFE0h to
FFFFh) sorted by hardware priority order.
This enhanced interrupt controller guarantees full
upward compatibility with the standard (not nest
-
ed) ST7 interrupt controller.
7.2 MASKING AND PROCESSING FLOW
The interrupt masking is managed by the I1 and I0
bits of the CC register and the ISPRx registers
which give the interrupt software priority level of
each interrupt vector (see
Table 7). The process-
ing flow is shown in Figure 14
When an interrupt request 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.
– I1 and I0 bits of CC register are set according to
the corresponding values in the ISPRx registers
of the serviced interrupt vector.
– 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
“Interrupt Mapping” table for vector addresses).
The interrupt service routine should end 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 I1 and I0 bits will be restored from the stack
and the program in the previous level will resume.
As several interrupts can be pending at the same
time, the interrupt to be taken into account is deter
-
mined by the following two-step process:
– the highest software priority interrupt is serviced,
– if several interrupts have the same software pri-
ority then the interrupt with the highest hardware
priority is serviced first.
Figure 15 describes this decision process.
Figure 15. Priority Decision Process

INTERRUPTS

HIGHEST HARDWARE
PRIORITY SERVICED
SOFTWARE

HIGHEST SOFTWARE
PRIORITY SERVICED
Different
When an interrupt request is not serviced immediately, it is latched and then processed when its
software priority combined with the hardware pri
-
ority becomes the highest one.
Note 1: The hardware priority is exclusive while
the software one is not. This allows the previous
process to succeed with only one interrupt.
Note 2: RESET and TRAP can be considered as
having the highest software priority in the decision
process.
Different Interrupt Vector Sources
Two interrupt source types are managed by the
ST7 interrupt controller: the non-maskable type
(RESET, TRAP) and the maskable type (external
or from internal peripherals).
Non-Maskable Sources
These sources are processed regardless of the
state of the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register (see
Figure 14). After stacking the PC, X, A and CC
registers (except for RESET), the corresponding
vector is loaded in the PC register and the I1 and
I0 bits of the CC are set to disable interrupts (level
3). These sources allow the processor to exit
HALT mode.
■ TRAP (Non Maskable Software Interrupt)
This software interrupt is serviced when the TRAP
instruction is executed. It will be serviced accord
ing to the flowchart in Figure 14.
■ RESET
The RESET source has the highest priority in the
ST7. This means that the first current routine has
the highest software priority (level 3) and the high
est hardware priority.
See the RESET chapter for more details.
Maskable Sources
Maskable interrupt vector sources can be serviced
if the corresponding interrupt is enabled and if its
own interrupt software priority (in ISPRx registers)
is higher than the one currently being serviced (I1
and I0 in CC register). If any of these two condi
tions is false, the interrupt is latched and thus remains pending.
■ External Interrupts
External interrupts allow the processor to exit from
HALT low power mode. External interrupt sensitiv
ity is software selectable through the External Interrupt Control register (EICR).
External interrupt triggered on edge will be latched
and the interrupt request automatically cleared
upon entering the interrupt service routine.
If several input pins of a group connected to the
same interrupt line are selected simultaneously,
these will be logically ORed.
■ Peripheral Interrupts
Usually the peripheral interrupts cause the MCU to
exit from HALT mode except those mentioned in
the “Interrupt Mapping” table. A peripheral inter
rupt occurs when a specific flag is set in the peripheral status registers and if the corresponding
enable bit is set in the peripheral control register.
The general sequence for clearing an interrupt is
based on an access to the status register followed
by a read or write to an associated register.
Note: The clearing sequence resets the internal
latch. A pending interrupt (i.e. waiting for being
serviced) will therefore be lost if the clear se
quence is executed.

INTERRUPTS (Cont’d)
7.3 INTERRUPTS AND LOW POWER MODES
All interrupts allow the processor to exit the WAIT
low power mode. On the contrary, only external
and other specified interrupts allow the processor
to exit from the HALT modes (see column “Exit
from HALT” in “Interrupt Mapping” table). When
several pending interrupts are present while exit
ing HALT mode, the first one serviced can only be
an interrupt with exit from HALT mode capability
and it is selected through the same decision proc
ess shown in Figure 15.
Note: If an interrupt, that is not able to Exit from
HALT mode, is pending with the highest priority
when exiting HALT mode, this interrupt is serviced
after the first one serviced.

The following Figure 16 and Figure 17 show two
different interrupt management modes. The first is
called concurrent mode and does not allow an in
terrupt to be interrupted, unlike the nested mode in
Figure 17. The interrupt hardware priority is given
in this order from the lowest to the highest: MAIN,
IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0. The software priority is giv
en for each interrupt.

These four registers contain the interrupt software

– Each interrupt vector (except RESET and TRAP)
has corresponding bits in these registers where
its own software priority is stored. This corre
-
spondance is shown in the following table.

– Level 0 can not be written (I1_x=1, I0_x=0). In
this case, the previously stored value is kept. (ex

of the CC register are both set.
Caution: If the I1_x and I0_x bits are modified
while the interrupt x is executed the following be
haviour has to be considered: If the interrupt x is
still pending (new interrupt or flag not cleared) and
the new software priority is higher than the previ

7.6 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
7.6.1 I/O Port Interrupt Sensitivity
The external interrupt sensitivity is controlled by
the IPA, IPB and ISxx bits of the EICR register
Figure 18). This control allows to have up to 4 fully
Each external interrupt source can be generated
on four (or five) different events on the pin:
■ Falling edge
■ Rising edge
■ Falling and rising edge
■ Falling edge and low level
■ Rising edge and high level (only for ei0 and ei2)
To guarantee correct functionality, the sensitivity
bits in the EICR register can be modified only
when the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register are both
set to 1 (level 3). This means that interrupts must
be disabled before changing sensitivity.
The pending interrupts are cleared when disabling
these interrupts by setting their I0_x and I1_x in
the matching ISPR

8 POWER SAVING MODES
ST72324Lxx
8.1 INTRODUCTION
To give a large measure of flexibility to the application in terms of power consumption, four main
power saving modes are implemented in the ST7
Figure 19): SLOW, WAIT (SLOW WAIT), AC-
(see
TIVE HALT and HALT.
After a RESET the normal operating mode is selected 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 or multiplied by 2
).
(f
OSC2
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.

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

) to
the available supply voltage.
SLOW mode is controlled by three bits in the
MCCSR register: the SMS bit which enables or
disables Slow mode and two CPx bits which select
the internal slow frequency (f
In this mode, the master clock frequency (f
can be divided by 2, 4, 8 or 16. The CPU and pe

8.3 WAIT 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’ instruction.
All peripherals remain active. During WAIT mode,
the I[1:0] bits of the CC register are forced to ‘10’,
to enable all interrupts. All other registers and
memory remain unchanged. The MCU remains in
WAIT mode until an interrupt or RESET occurs,
whereupon 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.

8.4 ACTIVE-HALT AND HALT MODES
ACTIVE-HALT and HALT modes are the two lowest power consumption modes of the MCU. They
are both entered by executing the ‘HALT’ instruc
tion. The decision to enter either in ACTIVE-HALT
or HALT mode is given by the MCC/RTC interrupt
enable flag (OIE bit in MCCSR register).

instruction is executed
8.4.1 ACTIVE-HALT MODE
ACTIVE-HALT mode is the lowest power consumption mode of the MCU with a real time clock
available. It is entered by executing the ‘HALT’ in
struction when the OIE bit of the Main Clock Controller Status register (MCCSR) is set (see Section
10.2 on page 50 for more details on the MCCSR
register).
The MCU can exit ACTIVE-HALT mode on recep-
tion of either an MCC/RTC interrupt, a specific interrupt (see Table 9, “Interrupt Mapping,” on
page 31) or a RESET. When exiting ACTIVE-
HALT mode by means of an interrupt, no 256 or
4096 CPU cycle delay occurs. The CPU resumes
operation by servicing the interrupt or by fetching
the reset vector which woke it up (see
Figure 23).
When entering ACTIVE-HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits
in the CC register are forced to ‘10b’ to enable in
terrupts. Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the
MCU wakes up immediately.
In ACTIVE-HALT mode, only the main oscillator
and its associated counter (MCC/RTC) are run
ning to keep a wake-up time base. All other peripherals are not clocked except those which get their
clock supply from another clock generator (such
as external or auxiliary oscillator).
The safeguard against staying locked in ACTIVEHALT mode is provided by the oscillator interrupt.
Note: As soon as the interrupt capability of one of
the oscillators is selected (MCCSR.OIE bit set),
entering ACTIVE-HALT mode while the Watchdog
is active does not generate a RESET.
This means that the device cannot spend more
than a defined delay in this power saving mode.
CAUTION: When exiting ACTIVE-HALT mode following an interrupt, OIE bit of MCCSR register
must not be cleared before t
rupt occurs (t
= 256 or 4096 t
DELAY
after the inter-
DELAY
CPU
delay de-
pending on option byte). Otherwise, the ST7 enters HALT mode for the remaining t

period.

mode (such as external interrupt). Refer to
Table 9, “Interrupt Mapping,” on page 31 for more
details.

8.4.2 HALT MODE
The HALT mode is the lowest power consumption
mode of the MCU. It is entered by executing the
‘HALT’ instruction when the OIE bit of the Main
Clock Controller Status register (MCCSR) is
cleared (see
tails on the MCCSR register).
The MCU can exit HALT mode on reception of either a specific interrupt (see Table 9, “Interrupt
Mapping,” on page 31) or a RESET. When exiting
HALT mode by means of a RESET or an interrupt,
the oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256
or 4096 CPU cycle delay is used to stabilize the
oscillator. After the start up delay, the CPU
resumes operation by servicing the interrupt or by
fetching the reset vector which woke it up (see
ure 25).
When entering HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits in the
CC register are forced to ‘10b’to enable interrupts.
Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the MCU
wakes up immediately.
In 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 14.1 on page 140 for more details).

8.4.2.1 Halt Mode Recommendations
– Make sure that an external event is available to
wake up the microcontroller from Halt mode.
– When using an external interrupt to wake up the
microcontroller, reinitialize the corresponding I/O
as “Input Pull-up with Interrupt” before executing
the HALT instruction. The main reason for this is
that the I/O may be wrongly configured due to ex
ternal interference or by an unforeseen logical
condition.
– For the same reason, reinitialize the level sensi-
tiveness of each external interrupt as a precautionary measure.
ST72324Lxx
– The opcode for the HALT instruction is 0x8E. To
avoid an unexpected HALT instruction due to a
program counter failure, it is advised to clear all
occurrences of the data value 0x8E from memo
ry. For example, avoid defining a constant in
ROM with the value 0x8E.
– As the HALT instruction clears the interrupt mask
in the CC register to allow interrupts, the user
-
may choose to clear all pending interrupt bits be
fore executing the HALT instruction. This avoids
entering other peripheral interrupt routines after
executing the external interrupt routine corre
sponding to the wake-up event (reset or external
interrupt).

9 I/O PORTS
9.1 INTRODUCTION
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 26
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 as this might
corrupt the DR content for I/Os configured as input.
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
EICR register.
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedicated group of I/O port pins (see pinout description
and interrupt section). If several input pins are se
lected simultaneously as interrupt sources, these
are first detected according to the sensitivity bits in
the EICR register and then logically ORed.
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 EICR 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
Vss
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 input and output, this pin has to be configured in input floating mode.

CAUTION: The alternate function must not be ac-
tivated as long as the pin is configured as input
with interrupt, in order to avoid generating spurious
interrupts.
Analog alternate function
When the pin is used as an ADC input, the I/O
must be configured as floating input. The analog
multiplexer (controlled by the ADC registers)
switches the analog voltage present on the select
ed pin to the common analog rail which is connected to the ADC input.
It is recommended not to change the voltage level
or loading on any port pin while conversion is in
progress. Furthermore it is recommended not to
have clocking pins located close to a selected an
alog pin.
WARNING: The analog input voltage level must
be within the limits stated in the absolute maxi
mum ratings.
9.3 I/O PORT IMPLEMENTATION
The hardware implementation on each I/O port depends on the settings in the DDR and OR registers
and specific feature of the I/O port such as ADC In
put or true open drain.
Switching these I/O ports from one state to another should be done in a sequence that prevents unwanted side effects. Recommended safe transitions are illustrated in Figure 27 on page 43. Other
transitions are potentially risky and should be
avoided, since they are likely to present unwanted
side-effects such as spurious interrupt generation.

The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occurrence of a software fault, usually generated by external interference or by unforeseen logical conditions, which causes the application program to
abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir
cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a programmed time period, unless the program refreshes the counter’s contents before the T6 bit becomes cleared.
10.1.2 Main Features
■ Programmable free-running downcounter
■ Programmable reset
■ Reset (if watchdog activated) when the T6 bit
reaches zero
■ Optional reset on HALT instruction
(configurable by option byte)
■ Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte
10.1.3 Functional Description
The counter value stored in the Watchdog Control
register (WDGCR bits T[6:0]), is decremented
every 16384 f
cycles (approx.), and the
OSC2
length of the timeout period can be programmed
by the user in 64 increments.
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)
and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over
from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates
a reset cycle pulling the reset pin low for typically
30µs.
The application program must write in the
WDGCR register at regular intervals during normal
operation to prevent an MCU reset. This down
counter is free-running: it counts down even if the
watchdog is disabled. The value to be stored in the
WDGCR register must be between FFh and C0h:
– The WDGA bit is set (watchdog enabled)
– The T6 bit is set to prevent generating an imme-
diate reset
– The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increments
which represents the time delay before the
watchdog produces a reset (see
Figure 29. Approximate Timeout Duration). The timing varies
between a minimum and a maximum value due
to the unknown status of the prescaler when writ
-
ing to the WDGCR register (see Figure 30).
Following a reset, the watchdog is disabled. Once
activated it cannot be disabled, except by a reset.
The T6 bit can be used to generate a software reset (the WDGA bit is set and the T6 bit is cleared).
If the watchdog is activated, the HALT instruction
will generate a Reset.

No Watchdog reset is generated. The MCU enters Halt mode. The Watchdog counter is decremented once and then stops counting and is no longer

If an external interrupt is received, the Watchdog restarts counting after 256
or 4096 CPU clocks. If a reset is generated, the Watchdog is disabled (reset
state) unless Hardware Watchdog is selected by option byte. For applica
tion recommendations see Section 10.1.7 below.
No reset is generated. The MCU enters Active Halt mode. The Watchdog
counter is not decremented. It stop counting. When the MCU receives an
oscillator interrupt or external interrupt, the Watchdog restarts counting im
mediately. When the MCU receives a reset the Watchdog restarts counting
after 256 or 4096 CPU clocks.

10.2 MAIN CLOCK CONTRO
LLER WITH REAL TIME CLOCK AND BEEPER (MCC/RTC)
The Main Clock Controller consists of three different functions:
■
a programmable CPU clock prescaler
■
a clock-out signal to supply external devices
■
a real time clock timer with interrupt capability
Each function can be used independently and simultaneously.
10.2.1
Programmable CPU Clock Prescaler
The programmable CPU clock prescaler supplies
the clock for the ST7 CPU and its internal periph
erals. It manages SLOW power saving mode (See
Section 8.2 SLOW MODE for more details).
The prescaler selects the f
main clock frequen-
CPU
cy and is controlled by three bits in the MCCSR
register: CP[1:0] and SMS.
10.2.2
Clock-out Capability
The clock-out capability is an alternate function of
an I/O port pin that outputs a f

Main Clock Controller (MCC/RTC) Block Diagram
clock to drive
OSC2
external devices. It is controlled by the MCO bit in
the MCCSR register.
CAUTION: When selected, the clock out pin suspends the clock during ACTIVE-HALT mode.
10.2.3
Real Time Clock Timer (RTC)
The counter of the real time clock timer allows an
interrupt to be generated based on an accurate
real time clock. Four different time bases depend
ing directly on f
are available. The whole
OSC2
functionality is controlled by four bits of the MCC
SR register: TB[1:0], OIE and OIF.
When the RTC interrupt is enabled (OIE bit set),
the ST7 enters ACTIVE-HALT mode when the
HALT instruction is executed. See
Section 8.4 AC-
TIVE-HALT AND HALT MODES for more details.
10.2.4
Beeper
The beep function is controlled by the MCCBCR
register. It can output three selectable frequencies
on the BEEP pin (I/O port alternate function).

10.3 16-BIT TIMER
ST72324Lxx
10.3.1 Introduction
The timer consists of a 16-bit free-running counter
driven by a programmable prescaler.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including
pulse length measurement of up to two input sig
nals (input capture) or generation of up to two output waveforms (output compare and PWM).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several milliseconds using the timer prescaler and the CPU
clock prescaler.
Some ST7 devices have two on-chip 16-bit timers.
They are completely independent, and do not
share any resources. They are synchronized after
a MCU reset as long as the timer clock frequen
cies are not modified.
This description covers one or two 16-bit timers. In
ST7 devices with two timers, register names are
prefixed with TA (Timer A) or TB (Timer B).
■ 5 alternate functions on I/O ports (ICAP1, ICAP2,
OCMP1, OCMP2, EXTCLK)*
The Block Diagram is shown in Figure 32.
*Note: Some timer pins may not be available (not
bonded) in some ST7 devices. Refer to the device
pin out description.
When reading an input signal on a non-bonded
pin, the value will always be ‘1’.
10.3.3 Functional Description
10.3.3.1 Counter
The main block of the Programmable Timer is a
16-bit free running upcounter and its associated
16-bit registers. The 16-bit registers are made up
of two 8-bit registers called high & low.
Counter Register (CR):
– Counter High Register (CHR) is the most sig-
nificant byte (MS Byte).
– Counter Low Register (CLR) is the least sig-
nificant byte (LS Byte).
Alternate Counter Register (ACR)
– Alternate Counter High Register (ACHR) is
the most significant byte (MS Byte).
– Alternate Counter Low Register (ACLR) is the
least significant byte (LS Byte).
These two read-only 16-bit registers contain the
same value but with the difference that reading the
ACLR register does not clear the TOF bit (Timer
overflow flag), located in the Status register, (SR),
(see note at the end of paragraph titled 16-bit read
sequence).
Writing in the CLR register or ACLR register resets
the free running counter to the FFFCh value.
Both counters have a reset value of FFFCh (this is
the only value which is reloaded in the 16-bit tim
er). The reset value of both counters is also
FFFCh in One Pulse mode and PWM mode.
The timer clock depends on the clock control bits
of the CR2 register, as illustrated in
Table 17 Clock
Control Bits. The value in the counter register re-
peats every 131072, 262144 or 524288 CPU clock

cycles depending on the CC[1:0] bits.

or an external frequency.
Caution: In Flash devices, Timer A functionality
has the following restrictions:
– TAOC2HR and TAOC2LR registers are write
only
– Input Capture 2 is not implemented
– The corresponding interrupts cannot be used
(ICF2, OCF2 forced by hardware to zero)

16-bit read sequence: (from either the Counter
Register or the Alternate Counter Register).
Beginning of the sequence

At t0 +∆t
Sequence completed
The user must read the MS Byte first, then the LS
Byte value is buffered automatically.
This buffered value remains unchanged until the
16-bit read sequence is completed, even if the
user reads the MS Byte several times.
After a complete reading sequence, if only the
CLR register or ACLR register are read, they re
turn the LS Byte of the count value at the time of
the read.
Whatever the timer mode used (input capture, output compare, one pulse mode or PWM mode) an
overflow occurs when the counter rolls over from
FFFFh to 0000h then:
– The TOF bit of the SR register is set.
– A timer interrupt is generated if:
– TOIE bit of the CR1 register is set and
– I bit of the CC register is cleared.
If one of these conditions is false, the interrupt remains pending to be issued as soon as they are
both true.

ST72324Lxx
Clearing the overflow interrupt request is done in
two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the TOF bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the CLR register.
Notes: The TOF bit is not cleared by accesses to
ACLR register. The advantage of accessing the
ACLR register rather than the CLR register is that
it allows simultaneous use of the overflow function
and reading the free running counter at random
times (for example, to measure elapsed time) with
out the risk of clearing the TOF bit erroneously.
The timer is not affected by WAIT mode.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until the
mode is exited. Counting then resumes from the
previous count (MCU awakened by an interrupt) or
from the reset count (MCU awakened by a Reset).
10.3.3.2 External Clock
The external clock (where available) is selected if
CC0=1 and CC1=1 in the CR2 register.
The status of the EXEDG bit in the CR2 register
determines the type of level transition on the exter
nal clock pin EXTCLK that will trigger the free running counter.
The counter is synchronized with the falling edge
of the internal CPU clock.
A minimum of four falling edges of the CPU clock
must occur between two consecutive active edges
of the external clock; thus the external clock fre
quency must be less than a quarter of the CPU
clock frequency.

10.3.3.3 Input Capture
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2 because
there are 2 input capture functions in the 16-bit
timer.
The two 16-bit input capture registers (IC1R and
IC2R) are used to latch the value of the free run
ning counter after a transition is detected on the
ICAPi pin (see figure 5).
MS ByteLS Byte
ICiRICiHRICiLR
ICiR register is a read-only register.
The active transition is software programmable
through the IEDGi bit of Control Registers (CRi).
Timing resolution is one count of the free running
f
counter: (
Procedure:
To use the input capture function select the following in the CR2 register:
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).
– Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP2 pin with the IEDG2 bit (the ICAP2 pin
must be configured as floating input or input with
pull-up without interrupt if this configuration is
available).
And select the following in the CR1 register:
– Set the ICIE bit to generate an interrupt after an
input capture coming from either the ICAP1 pin
or the ICAP2 pin
– Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1pin must
be configured as floating input or input with pull-
up without interrupt if this configuration is availa
ble).
CPU
/CC[1:0]).
-
-
ST72324Lxx
When an input capture occurs:
– ICFi bit is set.
– The ICiR register contains the value of the free
running counter on the active transition on the
ICAPi pin (see
– A timer interrupt is generated if the ICIE bit is set
and the I bit is cleared in the CC register. Other
wise, the interrupt remains pending until both
conditions become true.
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (i.e.
clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.
Notes:
1. After reading the ICiHR register, transfer of
input capture data is inhibited and ICFi will
never be set until the ICiLR register is also
read.
2. The ICiR register contains the free running
counter value which corresponds to the most
recent input capture.
3. The 2 input capture functions can be used
together even if the timer also uses the 2 output
compare functions.
4. In One pulse Mode and PWM mode only Input
Capture 2 can be used.
5. The alternate inputs (ICAP1 & ICAP2) are
always directly connected to the timer. So any
transitions on these pins activates the input
capture function.
Moreover if one of the ICAPi pins is configured
as an input and the second one as an output,
an interrupt can be generated if the user tog
gles the output pin and if the ICIE bit is set.
This can be avoided if the input capture function i is disabled by reading the ICiHR (see note
1).
6. The TOF bit can be used with interrupt generation in order to measure events that go beyond
the timer range (FFFFh).
7. In Flash devices, the ICAP2 registers
(TAIC2HR, TAIC2LR) are not available on
Timer A. The corresponding interrupts cannot
be used (ICF2 is forced by hardware to 0).

10.3.3.4 Output Compare
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2 because
there are 2 output compare functions in the 16-bit
timer.
This function can be used to control an output
waveform or indicate when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the Output Compare register and the free running counter, the output compare function:
– Assigns pins with a programmable value if the
OCiE bit is set
– Sets a flag in the status register
– Generates an interrupt if enabled
Two 16-bit registers Output Compare Register 1
(OC1R) and Output Compare Register 2 (OC2R)
contain the value to be compared to the counter
register each timer clock cycle.

Procedure:
To use the output compare function, select the following in the CR2 register:
– Set the OCiE bit if an output is needed then the
OCMPi pin is dedicated to the output compare i
signal.
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).
And select the following in the CR1 register:
– Select the OLVLi bit to applied to the OCMPi pins
after the match occurs.
– Set the OCIE bit to generate an interrupt if it is
needed.

– The OCMPi pin takes OLVLi bit value (OCMPi
pin latch is forced low during reset).
– A timer interrupt is generated if the OCIE bit is
set in the CR1 register and the I bit is cleared in
the CC register (CC).
The OCiR register value required for a specific timing application can be calculated using the following formula:
∆t * f
∆ OCiR =

Clearing the output compare interrupt request (i.e.
clearing the OCFi bit) is done by:
1. Reading the SR register while the OCFi bit is
set.
2. An access (read or write) to the OCiLR register.
The following procedure is recommended to prevent the OCFi bit from being set between the time
it is read and the write to the OC
– Write to the OCiHR register (further compares
are inhibited).
– Read the SR register (first step of the clearance
of the OCFi bit, which may be already set).
– Write to the OCiLR register (enables the output
compare function and clears the OCFi bit).

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)
Notes:
1. After a processor write cycle to the OCiHR reg-
ister, the output compare function is inhibited
until the OCiLR register is also written.
2. If the OCiE bit is not set, the OCMPi pin is a
general I/O port and the OLVLi bit will not
appear when a match is found but an interrupt
could be generated if the OCIE bit is set.
3. When the timer clock is f
OCMPi are set while the counter value equals
the OCiR register value (see
61). This behaviour is the same in OPM or
PWM mode.
When the timer clock is f
external clock mode, OCFi and OCMPi are set
while the counter value equals the OCiR regis
ter value plus 1 (see Figure 40 on page 61).
4. The output compare functions can be used both
for generating external events on the OCMPi
pins even if the input capture mode is also
used.
5. The value in the 16-bit OCiR register and the
OLVi bit should be changed after each suc
cessful comparison in order to control an output
waveform or establish a new elapsed timeout.

When the FOLVi bit is set by software, the OLVLi
bit is copied to the OCMPi pin. The OLVi bit has to
be toggled in order to toggle the OCMPi pin when
it is enabled (OCiE bit=1). The OCFi bit is then not
set by hardware, and thus no interrupt request is
generated.
The FOLVLi bits have no effect in both one pulse
mode and PWM mode.

10.3.3.5 One Pulse Mode
One Pulse mode enables the generation of a
pulse when an external event occurs. This mode is
selected via the OPM bit in the CR2 register.
The one pulse mode uses the Input Capture1
function and the Output Compare1 function.
Procedure:
To use one pulse mode:
1. Load the OC1R register with the value corresponding to the length of the pulse (see the formula in the opposite column).
2. Select the following in the CR1 register:
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after the pulse.
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin during the pulse.
– Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1 pin
must be configured as floating input).
3. Select the following in the CR2 register:
– Set the OC1E bit, the OCMP1 pin is then ded-
icated to the Output Compare 1 function.
– Set the OPM bit.
– Select the timer clock CC[1:0] (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).

When

on ICAP1
When
Counter
= OC1R
Then, on a valid event on the ICAP1 pin, the counter is initialized to FFFCh and OLVL2 bit is loaded
on the OCMP1 pin, the ICF1 bit is set and the val
ue FFFDh is loaded in the IC1R register.
Because the ICF1 bit is set when an active edge
occurs, an interrupt can be generated if the ICIE
bit is set.
ICR1 = Counter
OCMP1 = OLVL2
Counter is reset
to FFFCh
ICF1 bit is set
OCMP1 = OLVL1
-
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (i.e.
clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.
The OC1R register value required for a specific
timing application can be calculated using the fol
-
lowing formula:
OCiR Value =
* fCPU
PRESC
- 5
t
Where:
t = Pulse period (in seconds)
f
= CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
CPU
PRESC
= Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 depend-
ing on the CC[1:0] bits, see Table 17
Clock Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:
OCiR = t
*
f
EXT
-5
Where:
t = Pulse period (in seconds)
f
= External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
EXT
When the value of the counter is equal to the value
of the contents of the OC1R register, the OLVL1
bit is output on the OCMP1 pin, (See
Figure 41).
Notes:
1. The OCF1 bit cannot be set by hardware in one
pulse mode but the OCF2 bit can generate an
Output Compare interrupt.
2. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.
3. If OLVL1=OLVL2 a continuous signal will be
seen on the OCMP1 pin.
4. The ICAP1 pin can not be used to perform input
capture. The ICAP2 pin can be used to perform
input capture (ICF2 can be set and IC2R can be
loaded) but the user must take care that the
counter is reset each time a valid edge occurs
on the ICAP1 pin and ICF1 can also generates
interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When one pulse mode is used OC1R is dedicated to this mode. Nevertheless OC2R and
OCF2 can be used to indicate a period of time
has been elapsed but cannot generate an out
put waveform because the level OLVL2 is dedicated to the one pulse mode.
6. In Flash devices, Timer A OCF2 bit is forced by
hardware to 0.

10.3.3.6 Pulse Width Modulation Mode
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode enables the
generation of a signal with a frequency and pulse
length determined by the value of the OC1R and
OC2R registers.
Pulse Width Modulation mode uses the complete
Output Compare 1 function plus the OC2R regis
ter, and so this functionality can not be used when
PWM mode is activated.
In PWM mode, double buffering is implemented on
the output compare registers. Any new values writ
ten in the OC1R and OC2R registers are taken
into account only at the end of the PWM period
(OC2) to avoid spikes on the PWM output pin
(OCMP1).
Procedure
To use pulse width modulation mode:
1. Load the OC2R register with the value corresponding to the period of the signal using the
formula in the opposite column.
2. Load the OC1R register with the value corresponding to the period of the pulse if (OLVL1=0
and OLVL2=1) using the formula in the oppo
site column.
3. Select the following in the CR1 register:
– Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with the OC1R register.
– Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with the OC2R register.
4. Select the following in the CR2 register:
– Set OC1E bit: the OCMP1 pin is then dedicat-
ed to the output compare 1 function.
– Set the PWM bit.
– Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).

If OLVL1=1 and OLVL2=0 the length of the positive pulse is the difference between the OC2R and
OC1R registers.
If OLVL1=OLVL2 a continuous signal will be seen
on the OCMP1 pin.
The OCiR register value required for a specific timing application can be calculated using the following formula:
OCiR Value =
* fCPU
PRESC
- 5
t
Where:
t = Signal or pulse period (in seconds)
f
= CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
CPU
PRESC

ing on CC[1:0] bits, see Table 17)
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:
OCiR = t
f
-5
EXT
*
Where:
t = Signal or pulse period (in seconds)
f
= External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
EXT
The Output Compare 2 event causes the counter
to be initialized to FFFCh (See
Figure 42)
Notes:
1. After a write instruction to the OCiHR register,
the output compare function is inhibited until the
OCiLR register is also written.
2. The OCF1 and OCF2 bits cannot be set by
hardware in PWM mode therefore the Output
Compare interrupt is inhibited.
3. The ICF1 bit is set by hardware when the counter reaches the OC2R value and can produce a
timer interrupt if the ICIE bit is set and the I bit is
cleared.
4. In PWM mode the ICAP1 pin can not be used
to perform input capture because it is discon
nected to the timer. The ICAP2 pin can be used
to perform input capture (ICF2 can be set and
IC2R can be loaded) but the user must take
care that the counter is reset each period and
ICF1 can also generates interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
One Pulse Mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.
6. In Flash devices, the TAOC2HR, TAOC2LR
registers in Timer A are "write only". A read
operation returns an undefined value.
7. In Flash devices, the ICAP2 registers
(TAIC2HR, TAIC2LR) are not available in Timer A.
The ICF2 bit is forced by hardware to 0.

No effect on 16-bit Timer.
Timer interrupts cause the device to exit from WAIT mode.
16-bit Timer registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until Halt mode is exited. Counting resumes from the previous
count 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.
If an input capture event occurs on the ICAPi pin, the input capture detection circuitry is armed. Consequently, when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability, the ICFi bit is set, and
the counter value present when exiting from HALT mode is captured into the ICiR register.

10.4 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
ST72324Lxx
10.4.1 Introduction
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows fullduplex, synchronous, serial communication with
external devices. An SPI system may consist of a
master and one or more slaves however the SPI
interface can not be a master in a multi-master
system.
10.4.2 Main Features
■ Full duplex synchronous transfers (on 3 lines)
■ Simplex synchronous transfers (on 2 lines)
■ Master or slave operation
■ Six master mode frequencies (f
■ f
■ SS Management by software or hardware
■ Programmable clock polarity and phase
■ End of transfer interrupt flag
■ Write collision, Master Mode Fault and Overrun

software overhead for clearing status flags and to
initiate the next transmission sequence.
10.4.3 General Description
Figure 43 shows the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) block diagram. There are 3 registers:
– SPI Control Register (SPICR)
– SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)
– SPI Data Register (SPIDR)
The SPI is connected to external devices through
3 pins:
– MISO: Master In / Slave Out data
– MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data
– SCK: Serial Clock out by SPI masters and in-
put by SPI slaves
– SS: Slave select:
This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let
the SPI master communicate with slaves indi
-
vidually and to avoid contention on the data
lines. Slave
SS inputs can be driven by stand-
ard I/O ports on the master MCU.

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (Cont’d)
10.4.3.1 Functional Description
A basic example of interconnections between a
single master and a single slave is illustrated in
Figure 44.
The MOSI pins are connected together and the
MISO pins are connected together. In this way
data is transferred serially between master and
slave (most significant bit first).
The communication is always initiated by the master. When the master device transmits data to a
slave device via MOSI pin, the slave device re

sponds by sending data to the master device via
the MISO pin. This implies full duplex communica
tion with both data out and data in synchronized
with the same clock signal (which is provided by
the master device via the SCK pin).
To use a single data line, the MISO and MOSI pins
must be connected at each node ( in this case only
simplex communication is possible).
Four possible data/clock timing relationships may
be chosen (see
Figure 47) but master and slave
must be programmed with the same timing mode.

10.4.3.2 Slave Select Management
As an alternative to using the SS pin to control the
Slave Select signal, the application can choose to
manage the Slave Select signal by software. This
is configured by the SSM bit in the SPICSR regis
ter (see Figure 46)
In software management, the external SS pin is
free for other application uses and the internal
SS
signal level is driven by writing to the SSI bit in the
SPICSR register.
In Master mode:
– SS internal must be held high continuously
Figure 45. Generic SS Timing Diagram
ST72324Lxx
In Slave Mode:
There are two cases depending on the data/clock
timing relationship (see
If CPHA=1 (data latched on 2nd clock edge):
– SS internal must be held low during the entire
transmission. This implies that in single slave
applications the

If CPHA=0 (data latched on 1st clock edge):
– SS internal must be held low during byte
transmission and pulled high between each
byte to allow the slave to write to the shift reg
ister. If SS is not pulled high, a Write Collision
error will occur when the slave writes to the
shift register (see
In master mode, the serial clock is output on the
SCK pin. The clock frequency, polarity and phase
are configured by software (refer to the description
of the SPICSR register).
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if
CPOL=0).
To operate the SPI in master mode, perform the
following steps in order (if the SPICSR register is
not written first, the SPICR register setting
(MSTR bit ) may be not taken into account):
1. Write to the SPICR register:
– Select the clock frequency by configuring the
SPR[2:0]bits.
– Select the clock polarity and clock phase by
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits.
47 shows the four possible configurations.
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
2. Write to the SPICSR register:
– Either set the SSM bit and set the SSI bit or
clear the SSM bit and tie the
the complete byte transmit sequence.
3. Write to the SPICR register:
– Set the MSTR and SPE bits
Note: MSTR and SPE bits remain set only if
SS is high).
The transmit sequence begins when software
writes a byte in the SPIDR register.
10.4.3.4 Master Mode Transmit Sequence
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and
then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin most sig
nificant bit first.
When data transfer is complete:
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware
– An interrupt request is generated if the SPIE
bit is set and the interrupt mask in the CCR
register is cleared.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the
SPIF bit is set
2. A read to the SPIDR register.

Figure

Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg
ister is read.
10.4.3.5 Slave Mode Operation
In slave mode, the serial clock is received on the
SCK pin from the master device.
To operate the SPI in slave mode:
1. Write to the SPICSR register to perform the following actions:
– Select the clock polarity and clock phase by
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits (see
Figure 47).
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
– Manage the SS pin as described in Section
10.4.3.2 and Figure 45. If CPHA=1 SS must
be held low continuously. If CPHA=0 SS must
be held low during byte transmission and
pulled up between each byte to let the slave
write in the shift register.
2. Write to the SPICR register to clear the MSTR
bit and set the SPE bit to enable the SPI I/O
functions.
10.4.3.6 Slave Mode Transmit Sequence
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and
then shifted out serially to the MISO pin most sig
nificant bit first.
The transmit sequence begins when the slave device receives the clock signal and the most significant bit of the data on its MOSI pin.
When data transfer is complete:
– The SPIF bit is set by hardware
– An interrupt request is generated if SPIE bit is
set and interrupt mask in the CCR register is
cleared.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the
SPIF bit is set.
2. A write or a read to the SPIDR register.
Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg
ister is read.
The SPIF bit can be cleared during a second
transmission; however, it must be cleared before
the second SPIF bit in order to prevent an Overrun
condition (see
Section 10.4.5.2).

10.4.4 Clock Phase and Clock Polarity
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits (See
Figure 47).
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if
CPOL=0).
The combination of the CPOL clock polarity and
CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data capture
clock edge

combinations of the CPHA and CPOL bits. The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave
timing diagram where the SCK pin, the MISO pin,
the MOSI pin are directly connected between the
master and the slave device.
Note: If CPOL is changed at the communication
byte boundaries, the SPI must be disabled by re
setting the SPE bit.

has its
When a Master mode fault occurs:
Clearing the MODF bit is done through a software

Hardware does not allow the user to set the SPE

the MODF bit clearing sequence.
10.4.5.2 Overrun Condition (OVR)
An overrun condition occurs, when the master device has sent a data byte and the slave device has
SS pin pulled low.
– The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt re-
quest is generated if the SPIE bit is set.
– The SPE bit is reset. This blocks all output
from the device and disables the SPI periph
eral.
– The MSTR bit is reset, thus forcing the device
into slave mode.

not cleared the SPIF bit issued from the previously
transmitted byte.
When an Overrun occurs:
– The OVR bit is set and an interrupt request is
generated if the SPIE bit is set.
In this case, the receiver buffer contains the byte
sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read to
the SPIDR register returns this byte. All other
bytes are lost.
The OVR bit is cleared by reading the SPICSR
register.
10.4.5.3 Write Collision Error (WCOL)
A write collision occurs when the software tries to
write to the SPIDR register while a data transfer is
taking place with an external device. When this
happens, the transfer continues uninterrupted;
and the software write will be unsuccessful.
Write collisions can occur both in master and slave
mode. See also
Section 10.4.3.2 Slave Select
Management.
Note: a "read collision" will never occur since the
received data byte is placed in a buffer in which
access is always synchronous with the MCU oper
-
ation.
The WCOL bit in the SPICSR register is set if a
write collision occurs.
No SPI interrupt is generated when the WCOL bit
is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only).
Clearing the WCOL bit is done through a software
sequence (see
Figure 48).

10.4.5.4 Single Master Systems
A typical single master system may be configured,
using an MCU as the master and four MCUs as
slaves (see

The SS pins are pulled high during reset since the

Note: To prevent a bus conflict on the MISO line
the master allows only one active slave device
during a transmission.
For more security, the slave device may respond
to the master with the received data byte. Then the
master will receive the previous byte back from the
slave device if all MISO and MOSI pins are con
nected and the slave has not written to its SPIDR
register.
Other transmission security methods can use
ports for handshake lines or data bytes with com
mand fields.

10.4.6 Low Power Modes
Mode Description
WAIT
HALT
10.4.6.1 Using the SPI to wakeup the MCU from
Halt mode
In slave configuration, the SPI is able to wakeup
the ST7 device from HALT mode through a SPIF
interrupt. The data received is subsequently read
from the SPIDR register when the software is run
ning (interrupt vector fetch). If multiple data transfers have been performed before software clears
the SPIF bit, then the OVR bit is set by hardware.
No effect on SPI.
SPI interrupt events cause the device to exit
from WAIT mode.
SPI registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the SPI is inactive. SPI operation resumes when the MCU is woken up by
an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” ca
pability. The data received is subsequently
read from the SPIDR register when the soft
ware is running (interrupt vector fetching). If
several data are received before the wakeup event, then an overrun error is generated.
This error can be detected after the fetch of
the interrupt routine that woke up the device.
-
Note: When waking up from Halt mode, if the SPI
remains in Slave mode, it is recommended to per
form an extra communications cycle to bring the
SPI from Halt mode state to normal state. If the
SPI exits from Slave mode, it returns to normal
state immediately.
Caution: The SPI can wake up the ST7 from Halt
mode only if the Slave Select signal (external
pin or the SSI bit in the SPICSR register) is low
when the ST7 enters Halt mode. So if Slave selec
tion is configured as external (see Section
-
10.4.3.2), make sure the master drives a low level
on the SS pin when the slave enters Halt mode.

Notes: During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is
set, a copy of the received data byte in the shift
register is moved to a buffer. When the user reads
the serial peripheral data I/O register, the buffer is
actually being read.
While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the SPIDR

10.5 SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (SCI)
10.5.1 Introduction
The Serial Communications Interface (SCI) offers
a flexible means of full-duplex data exchange with
external equipment requiring an industry standard
NRZ asynchronous serial data format. The SCI of
fers a very wide range of baud rates using two
baud rate generator systems.
10.5.2 Main Features
■ Full duplex, asynchronous communications
■ NRZ standard format (Mark/Space)
■ Dual baud rate generator systems
■ Independently programmable transmit and
receive baud rates up to 500K baud
■ Programmable data word length (8 or 9 bits)
■ Receive buffer full, Transmit buffer empty and
End of Transmission flags
■ Two receiver wake-up modes:
– Address bit (MSB)
– Idle line
■ Muting function for multiprocessor configurations
– Transmit data register empty
– Transmission complete
– Receive data register full
– Idle line received
– Overrun error detected
■ Parity control:
– Transmits parity bit
– Checks parity of received data byte
■ Reduced power consumption mode
10.5.3 General Description
The interface is externally connected to another
device by two pins (see
Figure 51):
– TDO: Transmit Data Output. When the transmit-
ter and the receiver are disabled, the output pin
returns to its I/O port configuration. When the
transmitter and/or the receiver are enabled and
nothing is to be transmitted, the TDO pin is at
high level.
– RDI: Receive Data Input is the serial data input.
Oversampling techniques are used for data re
covery by discriminating between valid incoming
data and noise.
Through these pins, serial data is transmitted and
received as frames comprising:
– An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception
– A start bit
– A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first
– A Stop bit indicating that the frame is complete
This interface uses two types of baud rate generator:
– A conventional type for commonly-used baud
rates
– An extended type with a prescaler offering a very
wide range of baud rates even with non-standard
oscillator frequencies

– A baud rate register (SCIBRR)
– An extended prescaler receiver register (SCIER-
PR)
– An extended prescaler transmitter register (SCI-
ETPR)
Refer to the register descriptions in Section
10.5.7for the definitions of each bit.

The TDO pin is in low state during the start bit.
The TDO pin is in high state during the stop bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame
of “1”s followed by the start bit of the next frame
which contains data.
A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s
for some multiple of the frame period. At the end of
the last break frame the transmitter inserts an ex
-
tra “1” bit to acknowledge the start bit.
Transmission and reception are driven by their
own baud rate generator.

10.5.4.2 Transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or
9 bits depending on the M bit status. When the M
bit is set, word length is 9 bits and the 9th bit (the
MSB) has to be stored in the T8 bit in the SCICR1
register.
Character Transmission
During an SCI transmission, data shifts out least
significant bit first on the TDO pin. In this mode,
the SCIDR register consists of a buffer (TDR) be
tween the internal bus and the transmit shift register (see Figure 50).
Procedure
– Select the M bit to define the word length.
– Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR
and the SCIETPR registers.
– Set the TE bit to assign the TDO pin to the alter-
nate function and to send a idle frame as first
transmission.
– Access the SCISR register and write the data to
send in the SCIDR register (this sequence clears
the TDRE bit). Repeat this sequence for each
data to be transmitted.
Clearing the TDRE bit is always performed by the
following software sequence:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A write to the SCIDR register
The TDRE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
– The TDR register is empty.
– The data transfer is beginning.
– The next data can be written in the SCIDR regis-
ter without overwriting the previous data.
This flag generates an interrupt if the TIE bit is set
and the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
When a transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the SCIDR register stores the data in
the TDR register and which is copied in the shift
register at the end of the current transmission.
When no transmission is taking place, a write instruction to the SCIDR register places the data directly in the shift register, the data transmission
starts, and the TDRE bit is immediately set.

ST72324Lxx
When a frame transmission is complete (after the
stop bit) the TC bit is set and an interrupt is gener
ated if the TCIE is set and the I bit is cleared in the
CCR register.
Clearing the TC bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A write to the SCIDR register
Note: The TDRE and TC bits are cleared by the
same software sequence.
Break Characters
Setting the SBK bit loads the shift register with a
break character. The break frame length depends
on the M bit (see
As long as the SBK bit is set, the SCI send break
frames to the TDO pin. After clearing this bit by
software the SCI insert a logic 1 bit at the end of
the last break frame to guarantee the recognition
of the start bit of the next frame.
Idle Characters
Setting the TE bit drives the SCI to send an idle
frame before the first data frame.
Clearing and then setting the TE bit during a transmission sends an idle frame after the current word.
Note: Resetting and setting the TE bit causes the
data in the TDR register to be lost. Therefore the
best time to toggle the TE bit is when the TDRE bit
is set, that is, before writing the next byte in the
SCIDR.

10.5.4.3 Receiver
The SCI can receive data words of either 8 or 9
bits. When the M bit is set, word length is 9 bits
and the MSB is stored in the R8 bit in the SCICR1
register.
Character reception
During a SCI reception, data shifts in least significant bit first through the RDI pin. In this mode, the
SCIDR register consists or a buffer (RDR) be
tween the internal bus and the received shift register (see Figure 50).
Procedure
– Select the M bit to define the word length.
– Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR
and the SCIERPR registers.
– Set the RE bit, this enables the receiver which
begins searching for a start bit.
When a character is received:
– The RDRF bit is set. It indicates that the content
of the shift register is transferred to the RDR.
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
– The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise
or an overrun error has been detected during re
ception.
Clearing the RDRF bit is performed by the following
software sequence done by:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A read to the SCIDR register.
The RDRF bit must be cleared before the end of the
reception of the next character to avoid an overrun
error.
Break Character
When a break character is received, the SCI handles it as a framing error.
Idle Character
When a idle frame is detected, there is the same
procedure as a data received character plus an in
terrupt if the ILIE bit is set and the I bit is cleared in
the CCR register.
Overrun Error
An overrun error occurs when a character is received when RDRF has not been reset. Data can
not be transferred from the shift register to the
-
-
-
RDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not
cleared.
When an overrun error occurs:
– The OR bit is set.
– The RDR content is not lost.
– The shift register is overwritten.
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
The OR bit is reset by an access to the SCISR register followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
Noise Error
Oversampling techniques are used for data recovery by discriminating between valid incoming data
and noise. Normal data bits are considered valid if
three consecutive samples (8th, 9th, 10th) have
the same bit value, otherwise the NF flag is set. In
the case of start bit detection, the NF flag is set on
the basis of an algorithm combining both valid
edge detection and three samples (8th, 9th, 10th).
Therefore, to prevent the NF flag getting set during
start bit reception, there should be a valid edge de
tection as well as three valid samples.
When noise is detected in a frame:
– The NF flag is set at the rising edge of the RDRF
bit.
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
SCIDR register.
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The NF flag is reset by a SCISR register read operation followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
During reception, if a false start bit is detected (e.g.
8th, 9th, 10th samples are 011,101,110), the
frame is discarded and the receiving sequence is
not started for this frame. There is no RDRF bit set
for this frame and the NF flag is set internally (not
accessible to the user). This NF flag is accessible
along with the RDRF bit when a next valid frame is
received.
Note: If the application Start Bit is not long enough
to match the above requirements, then the NF
Flag may get set due to the short Start Bit. In this
case, the NF flag may be ignored by the applica
tion software when the first valid byte is received.

Framing Error
A framing error is detected when:
– The stop bit is not recognized on reception at the
expected time, following either a de-synchroni
zation or excessive noise.
– A break is received.
When the framing error is detected:
– the FE bit is set by hardware
– Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
SCIDR register.
– No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The FE bit is reset by a SCISR register read oper-
ation followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
10.5.4.4 Conventional Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate for the receiver and transmitter (Rx
and Tx) are set independently and calculated as
follows:
Tx =
(16
f
CPU
PR)*TR
*
Rx =
f
(16
CPU
PR)*RR
*
with:
PR = 1, 3, 4 or 13 (see SCP[1:0] bits)
TR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128
(see SCT[2:0] bits)
RR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128
(see SCR[2:0] bits)
All these bits are in the SCIBRR register.
Example: If f
= 13 and TR = RR = 1, the transmit and re-
PR
is 8 MHz (normal mode) and if
CPU
ceive baud rates are 38400 baud.
Note: The baud rate registers MUST NOT be
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is en
abled.
10.5.4.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation
The extended prescaler option gives a very fine
tuning on the baud rate, using a 255 value prescal
er, whereas the conventional Baud Rate Generator retains industry standard software compatibility.
The extended baud rate generator block diagram
is described in the
Figure 52
The output clock rate sent to the transmitter or to
the receiver is the output from the 16 divider divid
ed by a factor ranging from 1 to 255 set in the SCIERPR or the SCIETPR register.

Note: the extended prescaler is activated by setting the SCIETPR or SCIERPR register to a value
other than zero. The baud rates are calculated as

10.5.4.6 Receiver Muting and Wake-up Feature
In multiprocessor configurations it is often desirable that only the intended message recipient
should actively receive the full message contents,
thus reducing redundant SCI service overhead for
all non addressed receivers.
The non addressed devices may be placed in
sleep mode by means of the muting function.
Setting the RWU bit by software puts the SCI in
sleep mode:
All the reception status bits can not be set.
All the receive interrupts are inhibited.
A muted receiver may be awakened by one of the
following two ways:
– by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,
– by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.
Receiver wakes-up by Idle Line detection when
the Receive line has recognized an Idle Frame.
Then the RWU bit is reset by hardware but the
IDLE bit is not set.
Receiver wakes-up by Address Mark detection
when it received a “1” as the most significant bit of
a word, thus indicating that the message is an ad
dress. The reception of this particular word wakes
up the receiver, resets the RWU bit and sets the
RDRF bit, which allows the receiver to receive this
word normally and to use it as an address word.
CAUTION: In Mute mode, do not write to the
SCICR2 register. If the SCI is in Mute mode during
the read operation (RWU
= 1) and a address mark
wake up event occurs (RWU is reset) before the
write operation, the RWU bit is set again by this
write operation. Consequently the address byte is
lost and the SCI is not woken up from Mute mode.

10.5.4.7 Parity Control
Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmission and parity checking in reception) can be enabled by setting the PCE bit in the SCICR1 register.
Depending on the frame length defined by the M
bit, the possible SCI frame formats are as listed in
Table 21.
Table 21. Frame Formats
M bitPCE bit SCI frame
00| SB | 8 bit data | STB |
01| SB | 7-bit data | PB | STB |
10| SB | 9-bit data | STB |
11| SB | 8-bit data PB | STB |
Note: In case of wake up by an address mark, the
MSB bit of the data is taken into account and not
the parity bit
Even parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain
an even number of “1s” inside the frame made of
the 7 or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is
equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Example: data = 00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit
is 0 if even parity is selected (PS bit = 0).
Odd parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain an
odd number of “1s” inside the frame made of the 7
or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to
0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Example: data = 00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit
is 1 if odd parity is selected (PS bit = 1).
Transmission mode: If the PCE bit is set then the
MSB bit of the data written in the data register is
not transmitted but is changed by the parity bit.
Reception mode: If the PCE bit is set then the interface checks if the received data byte has an
ST72324Lxx
even number of “1s” if even parity is selected
= 0) or an odd number of “1s” if odd parity is
(PS
selected (PS
flag is set in the SCISR register and an interrupt is
generated if PIE is set in the SCICR1 register.
10.5.4.8 SCI Clock Tolerance
During reception, each bit is sampled 16 times.
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is
considered as the bit value. For a valid bitdetec
tion, all the three samples should have the same
value otherwise the noise flag (NF) is set. For ex
ample: If the 8th, 9th and 10th samples are 0, 1
and 1 respectively, then the bit value is “1”, but the
Noise Flag bit is set because the three samples
values are not the same.
Consequently, the bit length must be long enough
so that the 8th, 9th and 10th samples have the de
sired bit value. This means the clock frequency
should not vary more than 6/16 (37.5%) within one
bit. The sampling clock is resynchronized at each
start bit, so that when receiving 10 bits (one start
bit, 1 data byte, 1 stop bit), the clock deviation
must not exceed 3.75%.
Note: The internal sampling clock of the microcontroller samples the pin value on every falling edge.
Therefore, the internal sampling clock and the time
the application expects the sampling to take place
may be out of sync. For example: If the baud rate
is 15.625 Kbaud (bit length is 64µs), then the 8th,
9th and 10th samples are at 28µs, 32µs and 36µs
respectively (the first sample starting ideally at
0µs). But if the falling edge of the internal clock oc
curs just before the pin value changes, the samples would then be out of sync by ~4us. This
means the entire bit length must be at least 40µs
(36µs for the 10th sample + 4µs for synchroniza
tion with the internal sampling clock).

10.5.4.10 Noise Error Causes
See also description of Noise error in Section
10.5.4.3.
Start bit
The noise flag (NF) is set during start bit reception
if one of the following conditions occurs:
1. A valid falling edge is not detected. A falling
edge is considered to be valid if the 3 consecu
tive samples before the falling edge occurs are
detected as '1' and, after the falling edge
occurs, during the sampling of the 16 samples,
if one of the samples numbered 3, 5 or 7 is
detected as a “1”.
2. During sampling of the 16 samples, if one of the
samples numbered 8, 9 or 10 is detected as a
“1”.
Therefore, a valid Start Bit must satisfy both the
above conditions to prevent the Noise Flag getting
set.
Data Bits
The noise flag (NF) is set during normal data bit reception if the following condition occurs:
– During the sampling of 16 samples, if all three
samples numbered 8, 9 and10 are not the same.
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is
considered as the bit value.
Therefore, a valid Data Bit must have samples 8, 9
and 10 at the same value to prevent the Noise
Flag getting set.

Prescaler Register.
The extended Baud Rate Generator is activated
when a value different from 00h is stored in this
register. Therefore the clock frequency issued
from the 16 divider (see
Figure 52) is divided by
the binary factor set in the SCIERPR register (in
the range 1 to 255).
The extended baud rate generator is not used after a reset.

The on-chip Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral is a 10-bit, successive approximation converter with internal sample and hold circuitry. This
peripheral has up to 16 multiplexed analog input
channels (refer to device pin out description) that
allow the peripheral to convert the analog voltage
levels from up to 16 different sources.
The result of the conversion is stored in a 10-bit
Data Register. The A/D converter is controlled
through a Control/Status Register.
