The ST7FO X is a member of th e ST7 microcon troller family. All ST7 devices are based on a
common industry-standard 8-bit core, featuring an enhanced instruction set.
The device is positioned at the entry level of the 8-bit microcontroller range providing an
attractive cost while at the same time embedding the most advanced features.
The ST7FO X features Flash memory with byte-by-by te In-Circuit Prog r amming (ICP) and InApplication Programming (IAP) capability.
Under software control, the ST7FOX device 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 microcontrollers
feature true bit manipulation, 8x8 unsigned multiplication and indirect addressing modes.
The ST7FOX features an on-chip Debug Module (DM) to support In-Circuit Debugging
(ICD). For a description of the DM registers, refer to the ST7 ICC Protocol Reference
Manual.

Register and memory mappingST7FOXF1, ST7FOXK1, ST7FOXK2
3 Register and memory mapping
As shown in Figure 5, the MCU is capable of addressing 64 Kbytes of memories and I/O
registers.
The availab le memory locations consist of 128 b ytes of r egister locations , 384 b yte s of RAM
and 4 to 8 Kbytes of Flash program memory. The RAM space includesup to 128 bytes for
the stack from 180h to 1FFh.
The highest address bytes contain the user reset and interrupt vectors.
The Flash memory contains two sectors (see Figure 5) mapped in the upper part of the ST7
addressing space so the reset and interrupt vectors are locat ed in Sector 0 (FFE0h -FFFFh).
The size of Flash Sector 0 and other device options are configurable by option bytes (refer
to Section 13.1 on page 211).
Caution:Memory locations marked as “Reserved” must never be accessed. Accessing a reserved
area can have unpredictable effects on the device.

ST7FOXF1, ST7FOXK1, ST7FOXK2Register and memory mapping
The ST7 single voltage extended Flash (XFlash) is a non-volatile memory that can be
electrically erased and programmed either on a byte-by-byte basis or up to 32 bytes in
parallel.
The XFlash devices can be prog rammed off-board (plugged in a programming tool) or onboard using In-Circuit Programming or In-Application Programming.
The array matrix organization allows each sector to be erased and reprogrammed without
affecting other sectors.
4.2 Main features
●ICP (In-Circuit Programming)
●IAP (In-Application Programming)
●ICT (In-Circuit Testing) for downloading and executing user application test patterns in
RAM
●Sector 0 size configurable by option byte
●Read-out and write protection
4.3 Programming modes
The ST7 can be programmed in three different ways:
●Insertion in a programming tool. In this mode, Flash sectors 0 and 1, option byte row
can be programmed or erased.
●In-Circuit Programming. In this mode, Flash sectors 0 and 1, option byte row can be
programmed or erased without removing the device from the application board.
●In-Application Programming. In this mode, sector 1 can be programmed or erased
without removing the de vice from the application board and while the application is
running.
4.3.1 In-Circuit Programming (ICP)
ICP uses a protocol called ICC (In-Circuit Communication) which allows an ST7 plug ged on
a printed circuit board (PCB) to communicate with an external programming device
connected via cable. ICP is performed in three steps:
Switch the ST7 to ICC mode (In-Circuit Communications). This is done by driving a specific
signal sequence on the ICCCLK/DATA pins while the RESET
ST7 enters ICC mode, it fetches a specific Reset vector which points to the ST7 System
Memory containing the ICC protocol routine. This routine enables the ST7 to receive bytes
from the ICC interface.
●Download ICP Driver code in RAM from the ICCDATA pin
●Execute ICP Driver code in RAM t o program the Flash memory
Depending on the ICP Driver code downloaded in RAM, Flash memory programming can
be fully customized (number of bytes to program, program locations, or selection of the
serial communication interface for downloading).
4.3.2 In Application Programming (IAP)
This mode uses an IAP Driver program previously programmed in Sector 0 by the user (in
ICP mode).
This mode is fully controlled by user softwa re. This allows it to be adapted to the user
application, (user-defined strategy for entering programming mode, choice of
communications protocol used to fetch the data to be stored etc.)
IAP mode can be used to progr am an y memory areas e xcept Sector 0, which is Write/Erase
protected to allow recovery in case errors occur during the programming operatio n.
4.4 ICC interface
ICP needs a minimum of 4 and up to 6 pins to be connected to t he progr amming tool. These
pins are:
●RESET: device reset
●V
●ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin
●ICCDATA: ICC input serial data pin
●OSC1: main clock input for external source
●V
Note:1If the ICCCLK or ICCDATA pins are only used as outputs in the app licat ion , no sign al
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 be implemented in case another device forces the signal. Refer to the Programming
Tool documentation for recommended resistor values.
2During the ICP session, the programming tool must control the RESET
conflicts between the programming tool a nd the application reset circuit if it d rives more than
5mA at high level (push pull output or pull-up resistor<1 k
to isolate the application RESET circuit in this case. When using a classical RC network with
R>1 k
additional components are needed. In all cases the user must ensure that no external reset
is generated by the application during the ICC session.
3The use of pin 7 of the ICC connector depends on the Programming Tool architecture. This
pin must be connected when using most ST Programming Tools (it is used to monitor the
application power supply). Please refer to the Programming Tool manual.
4In “enabled option byte” mode (38-pulse ICC mode), the internal RC oscillator is forced as a
clock source, regardless of the selection in the option byte. In “disabled option byte” mode
(35-pulse ICC mode), pin 9 has to be co nne cted t o t he PB1/ CLKI N pi n o f th e ST7 when the
clock is not available in the application or if the selected clock option is not programmed in
the option byte.

Caution:During normal operation the ICCCLK pin must be in ternally or externally pulled- up (e xternal

There are two different types of memory protection: Read-Out Protection and Write/Erase
Protection which can be applied individually.
4.5.1 Read-out protection
Read-Out Protection, when selected prov ides a protection against program me mory content
extraction and against write access to Flash memory. Ev en if no protection can be
considered as totally unbreakable, the feature provides a very high level of protection for a
general purpose microcontroller.
●In Flash devices, this protection is removed by reprogramming the option. In this case,
the program memory is automatically erased and the device can be reprogrammed.
The read-out protection is enabled and removed through the FMP_R bit in t he option
byte.
4.5.2 Flash write/erase protection
Write/Erase Protection, when set, makes it impossible to both overwrite and erase program
memory . Its purpose is to provide adv anced security to applica tions and pre ven t any change
being made to the memory content. Write/Erase Protection is enabled through the FMP_W
bit in the option byte.
Caution:Once set, Write/Erase Protection can never be removed. A write-protected Flash
device is no longer reprogrammable.

5.3.1 Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operands and the re su lts
of the arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate data.
5.3.2 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 instruction (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).
5.3.3 Pr ogram Counter (PC)
The Program Counter is a 16 -bit registe r containin g the a ddress of the ne xt instruction to be
exe cuted 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).
5.3.4 Condition Code register (CC)
The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the interrupt mask and four flags representat ive
of the result of the instruction just executed. This register can also be handled b y the PUSH
and POP instructions.

Arithmetic management bits
Bit 4 = H Half carry bit
This bit is set by hard war e when a carry occurs between bit s 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
bit
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 interruptib le because the I bit is set b y hardw are at the start
of the routine and reset b y the IRET instruction at the end of the rout ine. I f the I bit i s cleared
by software in the int errupt routine , pe nding inter rupts are serviced regardless of the priority
level of the current interrupt routine.
Bit 2 = N Negative bit
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. It is representative 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 = ZZero bit
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
bit
This bit is set and cleared by hardware and software. 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.
Interrupt management bits
Bits 5,3 = I1, I0 Interrupt bits
The combination of the I1 and I0 bits gives the current interrupt software priority.
These two bits are set/cleared by hardware when entering in interrupt. The loaded
value is given by the corresponding bits in the interrupt software priority registers
(IxSPR). They can be also set/cleared b y soft wa re with the RIM, SIM, IRET, HALT, WFI
and PUSH/POP instructions. See Section 9.6: Interrupts for more details.

Read/write
The Stack P oin ter is a 16-b it regi ster wh ich is alw ays pointing to the next free location in the
stack. It is then decremented afte r data has been pushed onto the stack and incremented
before data is popped from the stack (see Figure 8).
Since the stack is 128 bytes deep, the 9 most significant bits are forced by hardware.
Following an MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stac k Pointer instruction (RSP), the Stack P ointer
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
instruction.
Note:When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit,
without indicating the stack overflow. The previously stored information is then overwritten
and therefore 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 instructions. 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 8.
●When an interrupt is received, the SP is decremen ted and t he 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 device includes 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. The main features are the following:
●Clock management

6.1 RC oscillator adjustment
6.1.1 Internal RC oscillator
The device contains an internal RC oscillator with a specific accuracy for a given device,
temperature and voltage range (4.5 V - 5.5 V). It must be calibrated to obtain the frequency
required in the application. This is done by software writing a 10-bit calibration value in the
RCCRH (RC Control register High) and in the bits 6:5 in the RCCRL (RC Control register
Low).
Whenever the microcontroller is reset, the RCCR returns to its default value (FFh), i.e . each
time the device is reset, the calibration value must be loaded in the RCCR. Predefined
calibration values are store d for 5 V V
1. The DEE0h and DEE1h addresses are located in a reserved area in non-volatile memory. They are readonly bytes for the application code. This area cannot be erased or programmed by any ICC operations.
For compatibility reasons with the RCCRL register, CR[1:0] bits are stored in the 5th and 6th position of
DEE1 address.
In 38-pulse ICC mode, the internal RC oscillator is forced as a clock source, regardless of
the selection in the option byte.

These bytes are systematically programmed by ST.
6.1.2 Customized RC calibration
If the application requires a higher frequency accuracy or if the voltage or temperature
conditions change in the application, the frequency may need to be recalibrated. Two nonvolatile bytes (RCCRH_USER and RCCRL_USER) are reserved for storing these new
values. These two-byte area is Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
Note:Refer to application note AN1324 f or inf ormation on how t o calibrate the RC frequency using
an external reference signal.
How to program RCCRH_USER and RCCRL_USER
To access the write mode, the RCCLAT bit has to be set by software (the RCCPGM bit
remains cleared). When a write access to this two-byte area occurs , t he values are latched.
When RCCPGM bit is set by the software, the latched data are programmed in the
EEPROM cells. To avoid wrong programming, the user must tak e care to only access these
two-byte addresses.
At the end of the programming cycle, the RCCPGM and RCCLAT bits are cleared
simultaneously.
Note:During the programming cycle, it is forbidden to access the latched data (see Figure 9).

6.1.3 Auto wakeup RC oscillator
The ST7FOX also contains an Auto wakeup RC oscillator. This RC oscillator should be
enabled to enter Auto wakeup from halt mode.
The Auto wakeup (AWU) RC oscillator can also be configured as the startup clock through
the CKSEL[1:0] option bits (see Section 13.1: Option bytes on page 211).
This is recommended for applications where very low power consumption is required.

1.Reset the RC/AWU bit to enable the internal RC oscillator
2. Using a 4-bit counter, wait until 8 internal RC cycles have elapsed. The counter is
running on internal RC clock.
3. Wait till the AWU_FLAG is cleared (1AWU RC cycle) and the RC_FLAG is set (2 RC

5. Once the switch is made, the AWU RC is stopped
Note:1When the internal RC is not selected, it is stopped so as to save power consumption.
2When the internal RC is selected, the AWU RC is turned on by hardware when entering
Auto wakeup from Halt mode.
3When the external clock is selected, the AWU RC oscillator is always on.

6.2 Multi-oscillator (MO)
The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by four different source types coming from the
multi-oscillator block (1 to 16 MHz):
●An external source
●5 different configurations for 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 8. Refer to the electrical characteristics section for more details.

6.2.1 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.
Note:When the Multi-Oscillator is not used OSCI1 and OSCI2 must be tied to ground, and PB1 is
selected by default as the external clock.
6.2.2 Crystal/ceramic oscillators
In this mode, with a self-controlled gain feature, oscillator of an y frequency from 1 to 16 MHz
can be placed on OSC1 and OSC2 pins. This family of oscillators has the advantage of
producing a very accurate rate on the main clock of the ST7. In this mode of the multioscillator, 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.
6.2.3 Internal RC oscillator
In this mode, the tunable RC oscillator is used as main clock source. The two oscillator pins
have to be tied to ground.
The calibration is done through the RCCRH[7:0] and RCCRL[6:5] registers.

The reset sequence manager includes three RESET sources as shown in Figure 14:

●Internal LVD RESET (Low Voltage Detection)
●Internal WATCHDOG RESET
LOAD
ST7
C
L2
Note:A reset can also be triggered following the detection of an illegal opcode or prebyte code.
Refer to Section 11.2.1 on page 184 for further details.
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 me mory
mapping.
The basic RESET sequence consists of 3 phases as shown in Figure 13:
●Active Phase depending on the RESET source
●256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle dela y (see Table 13)
Caution:When the ST7 is unprogrammed or fully erased, the Flash is blank and the Reset vector is
not programmed. For this reason, it is recommended to keep the RESET
pin in low state
until programming mode is entered, in order to avoid unwanted behavior.
The 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay allows the oscillator to stabilize and ensures that
recovery has taken place from the Reset state. The shorter or longer clock cycle delay is
automatically selected depending on the clock source chosen by option byte.
The Reset vector fetch phase duration is 2 clock cycles.

6.3.2 Asynchronous external RESET pin
The RESET pin is both an input and an open-dr ai n o utput wit h inte grated RON weak pull-up
resistor. This pull-up has no fixed value but varies in accordance 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
in order to be recognized (see Figure 15: Reset sequences). This detection is
asynchronous and therefor e the MCU can enter reset state even in Halt mode.
The RESET
pin is an asynchronous signal which pla ys a major role in EMS perf ormance. In
a noisy environment, it is recommended to follow the guidelines mentioned in the electrical
characteristics section.

to reset other devices.
Note:Use of LVD with capacitive power supply: with this type of power supply, if power cuts occur
in the application, it is recommended to pull V

conditions. Refer to circuit example in Figure 89 on page 207 and note 4.
The LVD is an optional function which can be selected by option byte. See Section 13.1 on
page 211.
It allows the device to be used without any e x ternal RESET circuitry.
If the LVD is disabled, an external circuitry must be used to ensure a proper power-on reset.
It is recommended to make sure that the V
supply voltage rises monotonously when the
DD
device is exiting from Reset, to ensure the application functions properly.
,
Caution:If an LVD reset occurs after a watchdog reset has occurred, the LVD will take priority and will
clear the watchdog flag.

7 Interrupts
7.1 Introduction
The ST7 enhanced interrupt management provides th e 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
–13 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 mapping
(FFE0h to FFFFh) sorted by hardware priority order.
This enhanced interrupt controller guarantees full upward compatibility with the standard
(not nested) 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 13). The processing flow is shown in Figure 18.
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 correspondin g v alues in the I SPRx
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 f o r
vector addresses).
The interrupt service routine should end with the IRET instruction which causes the
contents of the save d 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.

7.2.1 Servicing pending interrupts
As sever al interrupts can be p ending at the sam e time , the interrupt to b e tak en into account
is determined by the following two-step process:
●The highest software priority interrupt is serviced,
●If sever al interrupts have the same software priority then the interrupt with the highest
hardware priority is serviced first.
Figure 19 describes this decision process.
Figure 19. Priority decision process

INTERRUPTS

PRIORITY SERVICED

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 priority becomes the highest one.
Note:1The hardware priority is exclusive while the software one is not. This allows the previous
process to succeed with only one interrupt.
2RESET and TRAP can be considered as having the highest software priority in the decision
process.
7.2.2 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 18). 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 according to the flowchart in Figure 18.
●RESET
The RESET source has the highest priority in the ST7. This means t hat the fi rst current
routine has the highest software priority (le vel 3) and the highest hardware priority.
See the RESET chapter for more details.
53/226
InterruptsST7FOXF1, ST7FOXK1, ST7FOXK2
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 tw o conditions is false, the interrupt
is latched and thus remains pending.
●External interr up ts
External interrup ts allow the pro ces so r to exit from Halt low power mode.
External interrup t s ensit ivity is s oftware select able through th e Exte rnal 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 inter rupts
Usually the peripheral interrupts cause the MCU to exit from Halt mode except those
mentioned in Table 17: ST7FOXF1/ST7FOXK1 Interrupt mapping.
A peripheral interrupt 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 (that is, waiting for
being serviced) will therefore be lost if the clear sequence is executed.
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 Table 17: ST7FOXF1/ST7FOXK1 Interrupt mapping). When
several pending interrupts are present while exiting 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 process shown in Figure 19.
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.

7.4 Concurrent and nested management
The following Figure 20 and Figure 21 show two different inte rrupt management modes. The
first is called concurrent mode and does not allow an interrupt to be interrupted, unlike the
nested mode in Figure 21. The interrupt hardware priority is given in this order from the
lowest to the highest: MAIN, IT5, IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0. The software priority is given for
each interrupt.
Caution:A stack overflow may occur without notifying the software of the failure.

Reset value: 111x 1010(xAh)
70
11I1HI0NZC
Read/write
Bits 5, 3 = I1, I0 Software Interrupt Priority
bits
These two bits indicate the current interrupt software priority (see Table 14).
These two bits are set/cleared by hardware when entering in interrupt. The loaded
value is given by the corresponding bits in the interrupt software priority registers
(ISPRx).
They can be also set/cleared by software with the RIM, SIM, HALT, WFI, IRET and
PUSH/POP instructions (see Table 16: Dedicated interrupt instruction set).
TRAP and RESET events can interrupt a level 3 program.
ISPRx registers contain the interrupt software priority of each interrupt vector. Each interrupt
vector (except RESET and TRAP) has corresponding bits in these registers to define its
software priority. This correspondence is shown in Table 15.
Each I1_x and I0_x bit value in the ISPRx registers has the same meaning as the I1 and I0
bits in the CC register.
56/226
ST7FOXF1, ST7FOXK1, ST7FOXK2Interrupts
The RESET and TRAP vectors hav e no software priorities. When one is serviced, the I1 and
I0 bits of the CC register are both set.
Level 0 cannot be written (I1_x = 1, I0_x = 0). In this case, the previously stored value is
kept (Example: previous = CFh, write = 64h, result = 44h).

8 Power saving modes
8.1 Introduction
To give a large measure of flexibility to the application in terms of power consumption, four
main power saving mod es are implemented in the ST7 (see Figure 22):
●Slow
●Wait (and Slow-Wait)
●Active Halt
●Auto wakeup From Halt (AWUFH)
●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 (f
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.

Slow mode is controlled by the SMS bit in the MCCSR register which enables or disables
Slow mode.
In this mode, the oscillator frequency is divided by 32. The CPU and peripherals are clock ed
at this lower frequency.

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 bit of the CC register is cleared, 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 low est po wer consumption modes of the MCU. They
are both entered by executing the ‘HALT’ instruction. The decision to enter either in ActiveHalt or Halt mode is given by the LTCSR/A TCSR register status as shown in the following

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’ instruction when active halt mode is enabled.
The MCU can exit Active- Halt mode on reception of a Lite timer/ AT timer interrupt or a
Reset.
●When exiting Active-Halt mode by means of a Reset, a 256 CPU cycle delay occurs.
After the start up delay, the CPU resumes operation by fetching the Re set v ect or which
woke it up (see Figure 26).
●When exiting Active-Halt mode by means of an interrupt, the CPU immediately
resumes operation by servicing the interrupt vector which woke it up (see Figure 26).
When entering Active-Halt mode, the I bit in the CC register is cleared to enable interrupts.
Therefore , if an interrupt is pending, the MCU wakes up immediately.
In Active-Halt mode, only the main oscillator and the selected timer counter (LT/AT) are
running to keep a wakeup 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).
Caution:As soon as Active-Halt is enabled, executing a HALT instruction while the Watchdog is
active does not generate a Reset if the WDGHALT bit is reset.
This means that the device cannot spend more than a defined delay in this power saving
mode.

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.
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 active halt mode is disabled.
The MCU can exit Halt mode on reception of either a specific interrupt (seeTable 17:
ST7FOXF1/ST7FO XK1 Interrupt mapping) or a Reset. When exiting Halt mode b y means of
a Reset or an interrupt, the main oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256 CPU cycle
delay is used to stabilize it. After the start up delay , the CPU resumes oper ation b y servicing
the interrupt or by fetching the Reset vector which woke it up (see Figure 28).
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 immediately.
In Halt mode, the main oscillator is turned off causing all internal processing to be stopped,
including the operation of the on-chip p eripheral s . All peripher als are not clocked except the
ones which get their clock supply from another clock generator (such as an external or
auxiliary oscillator).
The compatibility of Watchdog operation with Halt mode is configured by the “WDGHALT”
option bit of the option byte. The HALT instruction when executed while the Watchdog
system is enabled, can generate a Watchdog Reset (see Section 13.1: Option bytes for
more details).

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
external interference or by an unforeseen logical condition.
●For the same reason, reinitialize the level sensitiveness of each external interrupt as a
precautionary measure.
●The opcode for the HALT instruction is 0x8E. To avoid an unexpected HALT instruction
due to a Program Counter f ailu re, it is a dvised to clear a ll occurrences of the data v a lue
0x8E from memory. For example, avoid defining a constant in ROM with the value
0x8E.
●As the HALT instruction clears the I bit in the CC register to allow inter rupts, the user
may choose to clear all pending interrupt bits before executing the HALT instruction.
This avoids entering other peripheral interrupt routines after executing the external
interrupt routine corresponding to the w akeup event (reset or external interrupt).
8.5 Auto-wakeup from Halt mode
Auto wakeup from Halt (AWUFH) mode is similar to Halt mode with the addition of a specific
internal RC oscillator for wakeup (Auto-wak eup from Halt oscillator) which replaces the main
clock which was active before entering Halt mode. Compared to Active-Halt mode, AWUFH
has lower power consumption (the main clock is not kept running), but there is no accurate
real-time clock available.
It is entered by executing the HALT instruction when the AWUEN bit in the AWUCSR
register has been set.

As soon as Halt mode is entered, and if the AWUEN bit has been set in the AWUCSR
register, the A WU RC oscillator provides a clock signal (f
AWU_RC
). Its frequency is divided b y
a fixed divider an d a prog r ammab le prescale r controlled by the AWUPR regist er. The output
of this prescaler provides the dela y ti me. When the delay has elapsed, the following actions
are performed:
●the AWUF flag is set by hardware,
●an interrupt wakes-up the MCU from Halt mode,
●the main oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256 CPU cycle delay is used to
stabilize it.
After this start-up delay, the CPU resumes operation by servicing the AWUFH interrupt. The
AWU flag and its associated interrupt are cleared by software reading the AWUCSR
register.
To compensate for any frequency dispersion of the AWU RC oscillator, it can be calibrated
by measuring the clock frequency f
AWU_RC
and then calculating the right prescaler value.
Measurement mode is enabled by setting the AWUM bit in the AWUCSR register in Run
mode. This connects f

Similarities with halt mode
The following AWUFH mode behavior is the same as normal Halt mode:
●The MCU can exit AWUFH mode by means of any interrupt with exit from Halt
capability or a reset (see Section 8.4: Active-halt and halt modes).
●When entering AWUFH mode, the I bit in the CC register is forced to 0 to enable
interrupts. Theref ore, if an interrupt is pending, the MCU wakes up immediately.
●In AWUFH mode, the main oscillator is turned off causing all internal processing to be
stopped, including the operation of the on-ch ip peripherals . None of the peripherals ar e
clocked except those which get their clock supply from anot her clock generator (such
as an external or auxiliary oscillator like the AWU oscillator).
●The compatibility of watchdog operation with AWUFH mode is configured by the
WDGHALT option bit in the option b yte. Depending on this setting, the HALT instruction
when ex ecuted while the w atchdog system is enab led, can gener ate a w atchdog Reset.

The AWUPR prescaler register can be programmed to modify the time during which the

Note:If 00h is written to AWUPR, the AWUPR remains unchanged.
The I/O ports allow data transfer. An I/O port can contain up to 8 pins. Each pin can be
programmed independently either as a digital inp ut or digital output. In addition, specific pins
may have several other functions. These functions can include external interrupt, alternate
signal input/output for on-chip periphe rals or analog input.
9.2 Functional description
A Data register (DR) and a Data Direction register (DDR) are always associated with each
port. The Option register (OR), which allows input/output options, may or may not be
implemented. The fo llowing d escription tak es into account the O R register. Refer t o the Port
Configuration table for device specific information.
An I/O pin is programmed using the correspo nding bits in the DDR, DR and OR re gisters: bit
x corresponding to pin x of the port.
Figure 32 shows the generic I/O block diagram.
9.2.1 Input modes
Clearing the DDRx bit selects input mode. In this mode , re ading its DR bit r eturns the digital
value from that I/O pin.
If an OR bit is av ailab le , different input modes can be configured b y softw ar e: floating or pullup. Refer to I/O Port Implementation section for configuration.
Note:1Writing to the DR modifies the latch value but does not change the state of the input pin.
2Do not use read/modify/write instructions (BSET/BRES) to modify the DR register.
External interrupt function
Depending on the device , set ting the ORx bit while in inp ut mode can configure an I/O as an
input with interrupt. In this configuration, a sig nal edge or level input on the I/O gener ates an
interrupt request via the corresponding interrupt vector (eix).
Falling or rising edge sensitivity is programmed independently f or each interrupt vector. The
External Interrupt Control register (EICR) or the Miscellaneous register controls this
sensitivity, depending on the device.
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedicated group of I/O port pins (see pinout
description and interrupt section). If several I/O interrupt pins on the same interrupt vector
are selected simultaneously, they are logically combined. For this reason if one of the
interrupt pins is tied low, it may mask the others.
External interrupts are hardware interrupts. Fetching the corresponding interrupt vector
automatically clears the request latch. Changing the sensitivity of a particular external
interrupt clears this pending interrupt. This can be used to clear unwanted pending
interrupts.
72/226
ST7FOXF1, ST7FOXK1, ST7FOXK2I/O ports
Spurious interrupts
When enabling/disabling an external interrupt by setting/resetting the related OR register bit,
a spurious interrupt is generated if the pin level is low and its edge sensitivity includes
falling/rising edge. This is due to the edge detector input which is switched to '1' when the
external interrupt is disabled by the OR register.
To avoid this unwanted interrupt, a "safe" edge sensitivity (rising edge for enabling and
falling edge for disabling) has to be selected before changing the OR register bit and
configuring the appropriate sensitivity again.
Caution:In case a pin level change occurs during these operations (asynchronous signal input ), as
interrupts are generated according to the current sensitivity, it is advised to disable all
interrupts before and to reenable them after the complete previous sequence in order to
avoid an external interrupt occurring on the unwanted edge.
This corresponds to the following steps:
a) Set the interrupt mask with the SIM instruction (in cases where a pin level change
could occur)
b) Select rising edge
c) Enable the external interrupt through the OR register
d) Select the desired sensitivity if different from rising edge
e) Reset the interrupt mask with the RIM instruction (in cases where a pin level
change could occur)
2. To disable an external interrupt:
a) Set the interrupt mask with the SIM instruction SIM (in cases where a pin level
change could occur)
b) Select falling edge
c) Disable the extern al int er rupt through the OR register
d) Select rising edge
e) Reset the interrupt mask with the RIM instruction (in cases where a pin level
change could occur)
9.2.2 Output modes
Setting the DDRx bit selects output mode. Writing to the DR bits applies a digital v alue to the
I/O through the latch. Reading the DR bits returns the previously stored value.
If an OR bit is available, different output modes can be selected by software: push-pull or
open-drain. Refer to I/O Port Implementation section for configuration.

9.2.3 Alternate functions
Many ST7s I/Os have one or more alternate functions. These may include output signals
from, or input signals to, on-chip peripherals.Table 2 an d Table 3 describe which peripheral
signals can be input/output to which ports.
A signal coming from an on-chip peripheral can be output on an I/O. To do this, enable the
on-chip peripheral as an output (enable bit in the peripheral’s control register). The
peripheral configures the I/O as an outpu t and tak es priority ov er standard I/O programming.
The I/O’s state is readable by addressing the corresponding I/O data register.
Configuring an I/O as floating enables alternate function input. It is not recommended to
configure an I/O as pull-up as this will increase current consumption. Before using an I/O as
an alternate input, configure it without interrupt. Otherwise spurious interrupts can occur.
Configure an I/O as input floating for an on-chip peripheral signal which can be input and
output.
Caution:I/Os which can be configured as both an analog and digital alternate function need special
attention. The user must control th e peripherals so th at the signals do not ar rive at the same
time on the same pin. If an external clock is used, only the clock alternate function should be
employed on that I/O pin and not the other alternate function.

9.2.4 Analog alternate function
Configure the I/O as floating input to use an ADC input. The analog multiplexer (controlled
by the ADC registers) switches the analog voltage present on the selected pin to the
common analog rail, connected to the ADC input.
Analog Recommendations
Do not change the voltage le v el or loading on any I /O while conv ersion is in progr ess. Do not
have clocking pins located close to a selected analog pin.
Caution:The analog input voltage level must be within the limits stated in the absolute maximum
ratings.
9.3 I/O port implementation
The hardware implementati on on each I /O port depends on the setti ngs in the DDR and O R
registers and specific I/O port features such as ADC input or 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 33.
Other transitions are potentially risky and should be avoided, since they may present
unwanted side-effects such as spurious interrupt generation.

10.1 Watchdog timer (WDG)
10.1.1 Introduction
The Watchdog time r 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 W atchdog circuit g enerates 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 (64 increments of 16000 CPU cycles)
●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 CR register (bits T[6:0]), is decremented every 16000
machine cycles, and the 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 low the RESET
pin for typically 30µs.

The application program must write in the CR register at regular intervals during normal
operation to prevent an MCU reset. This downcounter is free-running: it counts do wn e v en if
the watchdog is disabled. The value to be stored in the CR register must be between FFh
and C0h (see Table 33: Watchdog timing):
●The WDGA bit is set (watchdog enabled)
●The T6 bit is set to prevent generating an immediate reset
●The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increment s which represents the time delay
before the watchdog produces a reset.
Following a reset , the w atchdog is disab l ed. Once activated it cannot be disabled, except b y
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.

1. The timing variation shown in Table 33 is due to the unknown status of the prescaler when writing to the
CR register.
2. The number of CPU clock cycles applied during the Reset phase (256 or 4096) must be taken into account
in addition to these timings.
10.1.4 Hardware watchdog option
If Hardware Watchdog is selected by option byte, the watchdog is always active and the
WDGA bit in the CR is not used.
Refer to the option byte description in Section 13 on page 211.
Using Halt mode with the WDG (WDGHALT option)
If Halt mode with Watchdog is enabled by option byte (No watchdog reset on HALT
instruction), it is recommended before executing the HALT instruction to refresh the WDG
counter, to av oid an unexpected WDG reset immediately after waking up the microcontroller.

10.2 Dual 12-bit autoreload timer
10.2.1 Introduction
The 12-bit Autoreload timer can be used f or ge neral-purpose timing fun ctions . It is based on
one or two free-running 12-bit upcounters with an Input Capture register and four PWM
output channels. There are 7 external pins:
●Four PWM outputs
●ATIC/LTIC pins for the Input Capture function
●BREAK pins for forcing a break condition on the PWM outputs
10.2.2 Main features
●Single Timer or Dual Timer mode with two 12-bit up counte rs (CNTR1/CNTR2 ) and tw o
12-bit autoreload registers (ATR1/ATR2)
●Maskable overflow interrupts
●PWM mode
–Generation of four independent PWMx signals
–Dead time generation for Half bridge driving mode with programmable dead time
–Frequency 2 kHz - 4 MHz (@ 8 MHz f
–Programmable duty-cycle s
–Polarity control
–Programmable output modes
●Output Compare mode
●Input Capture mode
–12-bit Input Capture register (ATICR)
–Triggered by rising and falling edges
–Maskable IC interrupt
–Long range Input Capture
This mode allows up to four Pulse Width Modulated signals to be generated on the PWMx
output pins.
●PWM frequency
The four PWM signals can have the same frequency (f
frequencies. This is selected by the ENCNTR2 bit which enables Single Timer or Dual
Timer mode (see Figure 35 and Figure 36). The frequency is controlled by the counter
period and the ATR register value. In Dual Timer mode, PWM2 and PWM3 can be
generated with a different frequency controlled by CNTR2 and ATR2.
) or can have two different
PWM
f
PWMfCOUNTER
Following the above formula, if f
COUNTER
4096 ATR–()⁄=
equals 4 MHz, the maximum value of f
2 MHz (ATR register value = 4094), and the minimum value is 1 kHz (ATR register
value = 0).
The maximum value of ATR is 4094 because it must be lower than the DC4R value
which must be 4095 in this case.
●Duty cycle
The duty cycle is selected by programming the DCRx registers. These are preload
registers. The DCRx values are transferred in Active duty cycle registers after an
overflow event if the corresponding transfer bit (TRANx bit) is set.
The TRAN1 bit controls the PWMx outputs driven by counter 1 and the TRAN2 bit
controls the PWMx outputs driven by counter 2.
PWM generation and output compare are done by comparing these active DCRx
values with the counter.
The maximum availab l e resolution for the PWMx duty cycle is:
Resolution1 4096 ATR–()⁄=
where ATR is equal to 0. With this maximum resolution, 0% and 100% duty cycle can
be obtained by changing the polarity.
At reset, the counter starts counting from 0.
When a upcounter overflow occurs (OVF event), the preloaded Duty cycle values are
transferred to the active Duty Cycle registers and the PWMx signals are set to a high
level. Whe n the upcounter matc hes the activ e DCRx v alue the PWMx signals are set to
a low lev el. To obtain a signal on a PWMx pin, the contents of the cor respond ing active
DCRx register must be greater than the contents of the ATR register.
The maximum value of ATR is 4094 because it must be lower than the DCR value
which must be 4095 in this case.
●Polarity inversion
The polarity bits can be used to invert any of the four output signals. The inversion is
synchronized with the counter overflow if the corresponding transfer bit in the ATCSR2
register is set (reset value). See Figure 37.

Dead time generation
A dead time can be inserted between PWM0 and PWM1 using the DTGR register. This is
required for half-bridge driving where PWM signals must not be overlapped. The nonoverlapping PWM0/PWM1 signals are generated through a programmable dead time by
setting the DTE bit.
Dead timeDT 6:0[]Tcounter1×=
DTGR[7:0] is buffered inside so as to avoid deforming the current PWM cycle. The DTGR
effect will take place only after an ov erflow.
Note:1Dead time is generated only when DTE=1 and DT[6:0]
PWM output signals will be at their reset state.
2Half Bridge driving is possible only if polarities of PWM0 and PWM1 are not inverted, i.e. if
OP0 and OP1 are not set. If polarity is inverted, overlapping PWM0/PWM1 signals will be
generated.
3Dead Time generation does not work at 1msec timebase.

In the above example, when the DTE bit is set:
●PWM goes low at DCR0 match and goes high at ATR1+Tdt
●PWM1 goes high at DCR0+Tdt and goes low at ATR match.
With this programmable delay (Tdt), the PWM0 and PWM1 signals which are generated are
not overlapped.
Break function
The break function can be used to pe rf orm an emergency sh utdown of the app lication being
driven by the PWM signals.
The break function is activated by the external BREAK pin. This can be selected by using
the BRSEL bit in BREAKCR register. In order to use the break function it must be pre viously
enabled by software setting the BPEN bit in the BREAKCR register.
The Break active level can be programmed by the BREDGE bit in the BREAKCR register.
When an active level is detected on the BREAK pin, the BA bit is set and the break function
is activated. In this case, the PWM signals are forced to BREAK value if respective OEx bit
is set in PWMCR register.
Software can set the BA bit to activate the break function without using the BREAK pin. The
BREN1 and BREN2 bits in the BREAKEN register are used to enable the break activation
on the 2 counters respective ly. In Dual Timer mode, the break for PWM2 and PWM3 is
enabled by the BREN2 bi t. In Single Timer mode, the BREN1 bit enables the break for all
PWM channels.
87/226
On-chip peripheralsST7FOXF1, ST7FOXK1, ST7FOXK2
When a break function is activated (BA bit =1 and BREN1/BREN2 =1):
●The break pattern (PWM[3:0] bits in the BREAKCR) is forced directly on the PWMx
output pins if respective OEx is set. (after the inverter).
●The 12-bit PWM counter CNTR1 is put to its reset value, i.e. 00h (if BREN1 = 1).
●The 12-bit PWM counter CNTR2 is put to its reset value,i.e. 00h (if BREN2 = 1).
●ATR1, ATR2, Preload and Active DCRx are put to their reset values.
●Counters stop counting.
When the break function is deactiv ated after applying the break (BA bit goes from 1 to 0 by
software), Timer takes the control of PWM ports.
Note:The break function of the ST7FOXK2 is different from the break function of the
ST7FOXF1 /ST7FOXK1. Refer to Figure 41: ST7FOXF1/ST7FOXK1 Block diagram of break
function on page 88 and Figure 42: ST7FOXK2 Block diagram of break function on page 89

Output compare mode
To use this function, load a 12-bit value in the Preload DCRxH and DCRxL registers.
When the 12-bit upcounter CNTR1 reaches the value stored in the Active DCRxH and
DCRxL registers, the CMPFx bit in the PWMxCSR register is set and an interrupt request is
generated if the CMPIE bit is set.
In Single Timer mode the output compare function is performed only on CNTR1. The
difference betw een bot h the modes is that , in Single Ti mer mode , CNTR1 can be co mpared
with any of the four DCR registers, and in Dual Timer mode, CNTR1 is compared with DCR0
or DCR1 and CNTR2 is compared with DCR2 or DCR3.
Note:1The output compare function is only available for DCRx values other than 0 (reset value).
2Duty cycle registers are buffered internally. The CPU writes in Preload Duty Cycle registers
and these values are transferred in Active Duty Cycle r egi ster s af ter an overflow event if the
corresponding transfer bit (TRANx bit) is set. Output compare is done by comparing these
active DCRx values with the counters.

Input capture mode
The 12-bit ATICR register is used to latch the value of the 12-bit free running upcounter
CNTR1 after a rising or falling edge is detected on the ATIC pin. When an Input Capture
occurs, the ICF bit is set and the ATICR register contains the value of the free running
upcounter. An IC interrupt is generated if the ICIE bit is set. The ICF bit is reset by reading
the ATICRH/ATICRL register when the ICF bit is set. The ATICR is a read only register and
always contains the free running upcounter value which corresponds to the most recent
Input Capture. Any further Input Capture is inhibite d while the ICF bit is set.

●The ICS bit in the ATCSR2 register is set so that the LTIC pin is used to trigger the AT4
timer capture.
●The signal to be captured is connected to LTIC pin
●Input Capture registers LTICR, ATICRH and ATICRL are read
This configuration allows to cascade the Lite timer and the 12- bit AT4 timer to get a 20-bit

Since the Input Capture flags (ICF) for both timers (AT4 timer and LT timer) are set when
signal transition occurs, software must mask one interrupt by clearing the corresponding
ICIE bit before setting the ICS bit.
If the ICS bit changes (from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0), a spur io us transition mig ht occu r on the
Input Capture signal because of di fferent values on LTIC and ATIC. To avoid this situation, it
is recommended to do as follows:
1.First, reset both ICIE bits.
2. Then set the ICS bit.
3. Reset both ICF bits.
4. And then set the ICIE bit of desired interrupt.
Computing a pulse length in long Input Capture mode is not str aightforward since both
timers are used. The following steps are required:
1.At the first Input Capture on the rising edge of the pulse, we assume that values in the
registers are the following:
Now pulse width P between first capture and second capture is given by:
PdecimalF9 LT1–LT2 1++()×0.004ms×

where N is the number of overflows of 12-bit CNTR1.

One pulse mode
One Pulse mode can be used to control PWM2/3 signal with an external LTIC pin. This
mode is available only in Dual Timer mode i.e. only for CNTR2, when the OP_EN bit in
PWM3CSR register is set.
One Pulse mode is activated by the external LTIC input. The active edge of the LTIC pin is
selected by the OPEDGE bit in the PWM3CSR register.
After getting the active edge of the LTIC pin, CNTR2 is reset (000h) and PWM3 is set to
high. CNTR2 starts counting from 000h, when it reaches the activ e DCR3 v alue then PWM3
goes low. Till this time, any further transitions on the LTIC signal will have no effect. If there
are LTIC transitions after CNTR2 reaches DCR3 value, CNTR2 is reset again and PWM3
goes high.
If there is no LTIC active edge, CNTR2 counts until it reaches the ATR2 value, then it is reset
again and PWM3 is set to high. The counter again starts counting from 000h, when it
reaches the active DCR3 v alue PWM3 goes lo w, the counter counts until it reaches ATR2, it
resets and PWM3 is set to high and so on.
The same operation applies for PWM2, but in this case the comparison is done on DCR2.
OP_EN and OPEDGE bits take effect on the fly and are not synchronized with Counter 2
overflo w. The output bit OP2/3 can be used to inverse the polarity of PWM2/3 in one-pulse
mode. The update of these bits (OP2/3) is synchronized with th e co un te r 2 overflow, they
will be updated if the TRAN2 bit is set.
The time taken from activation of LTIC input and CNTR2 reset is between 1 and 2 t
cycles, that is, 125 ns to 250 ns (with 8-MHz f
CPU
).
CPU
Lite timer Input Capture interrupt should be disabled while 12-bit ARtimer is in One Pulse
mode. This is to avoid spurious interrupts.
The priority of the various conditions for PWM3 is the following: Break > one-pulse mode
with active LTIC edge > Forced overflow by s/w > one-pulse mode without act ive LTIC edge
> normal PWM operation.
It is possible to update DCR2/3 and OP2/3 at the counter 2 reset, the update is
synchronized with the counter reset. This is managed by the overflow interrupt which is
generated if counter is reset either due to ATRmatch or active pulse at LTIC pin. DCR2/3
and OP2/3 update in one-pulse mode is performed dynamically using a software force
update. DCR3 update in this mode is not synchronized with any event. That may lead to a
longer next PWM3 cycle duration than expected just after the change.
In One Pulse mode ATR2 value must be greater than DCR2/3 value for PWM2/3. (opposite
to normal PWM mode).
If there is an active edge on the LTIC pin after the counter has reset due to an A TR2 match,
then the timer again gets reset and appears as modified Duty cycle depending on whether
the new DCR value is less than or more than the previous value.
The TRAN2 bit should be set along with the FORCE2 bit with the same instruction after a
write to the DCR register.
ATR2 value should be changed after an overflow in one pulse mode t o avoid any irregular
PWM cycle.
When exiting from one pulse mode, the OP_EN bit in the PWM3CSR register should be
reset first and then the ENCNTR2 bit (if counter 2 must be stopped).

How to enter one pulse mode
The steps required to enter One Pulse mode are the following:
1.Load ATR2H/ATR2L with required value.
2. Load DCR3H/DCR3 L for PWM3. ATR2 value must be greater than DCR3.
3. Set OP3 in PWM3CSR if polarity change is required.
4. Select CNTR2 by setting ENCNTR2 bit in ATCSR2.
5. Set TRAN2 bit in ATCSR2 to enable transfer.
6. "Wait for Overflow" by checking the OVF2 flag in AT CSR2 .
7. Select counter clock using CK<1:0> bits in ATCSR.
8. Set OP_EN bit in PWM3CSR to enable one-pulse mode.
9. Enable PWM3 by OE3 bit of PWMCR.
The "Wait for Overflow" in step 6 can be replaced by a forced update.
Follow the same procedure for PWM2 with the bits corresponding to PWM2.
Note:When break is applied in one-pulse mode, CNTR2, DCR2/3 & ATR2 registers are reset. So,
these registers have to be initialized again when break is removed.

Force update
In order not to wait for the counterx overflow to load the value into active DCRx registers, a
programmable counter
which when set, make the counters start with the overflow value, i.e. FFFh. After overflow,
the counters start co un tin g fr om the i r re sp ect ive auto reload regist er values.
These bits are FORCE1 and FORCE2 in the ATCSR2 register. FORCE1 is used to force an
overflow on Counter 1 and, FORCE2 is used for Counter 2. These bits are set by software
and reset by hardware after the respective counter overflow event has occurred.
This feature can be used at any time. All related features such as PWM generation, Output
Compare, Input Capture, One-pulse (refer to Figure 50: Dynamic DCR2/3 update in one
pulse mode) etc. can be used this way.

Bits 15:12 = Reserved
Bits 11:0 = CNTR1[11:0] Counter value
This 12-bit register is read by software and cleared by hardware after a reset. The
counter CNTR1 increments continuously as soon as a counter clock is selected. To
obtain the 12-bit value , softw are should re ad the coun ter v alue in two consecut iv e read
operations. As there is no latch, it is recommended to read LSB first. In this case,
CNTR1H can be incremented between the two read operations and to have an
accurate result when f
timer=fCPU
, special care must be taken when CNTR1L values
close to FFh are read.
When a counter overflow occurs, the counter restarts from the value specified in the
ATR1 register.
