1 INTRODUCTION
ST7LITE3xF2
The ST7LITE3 is a member of the ST7 microcontroller family. All ST7 devices are based on a common industry-standard 8-bit core, featuring an enhanced instruction set.
The ST7LITE3 features FLASH memory with
byte-by-byte In-Circuit Programming (ICP) and InApplication Programming (IAP) capability.
Under software control, the ST7LITE3 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

4 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
4.1 Introduction
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 programmed off-board
(plugged in a programming tool) or on-board using
In-Circuit Programming or In-Application Programming.
The array matrix organisation 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 and
data EEPROM (if present) can be programmed or erased.
– In-Circuit Programming. In this mode, FLASH
sectors 0 and 1, option byte row and data
EEPROM (if present) can be programmed or
erased without removing the device from the
application board.
– In-Application Programming. In this mode,
sector 1 and data EEPROM (if present) can
be programmed or erased without removing
the device 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 plugged 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 pin is pulled low. When the 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 to 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 software. 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 program any memory areas except Sector 0, which is write/erase protected to allow recovery in case errors occur during
the programming operation.

connected to the programming tool. 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 be implemented if another device
forces the signal. Refer to the Programming Tool
documentation for recommended resistor values.
2. During the ICP session, the programming tool
must control the RESET
pin. This can lead to conflicts 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 application RESET circuit in this case. When using a
classical RC network with R>1K or a reset management IC with open drain output and pull-up resistor>1K, no additional components are needed.
In all cases the user must ensure that no external
reset is generated by the application during the
ICC session.
3. The use of Pin 7 of the ICC connector depends
on the Programming Tool architecture. This pin
– ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin
– ICCDATA: ICC input serial data pin
– CLKIN/PB4: main clock input for external

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.
4. Pin 9 must be connected to the PB4 pin of the
ST7 when the clock is not available in the application or if the selected clock option is not programmed in the option byte. ST7 devices with
multi-oscillator capability must have OSC2
grounded in this case.
5. With any programming tool, while the ICP option
is disabled, the external clock must be provided on
PB4.
6. In 38-pulse ICC mode, the internal RC oscillator
is forced as a clock source, regardless of the selection in the option byte. For ST7LITE30 devices
which do not support the internal RC oscillator, the
“option byte disabled” mode must be used (35pulse ICC mode entry, clock provided by the tool).
Caution: During normal operation ICCCLK pin
must be pulled- up, internally or externally (external pull-up of 10k mandatory in noisy environment). This avoids entering ICC mode
unexpectedly during a reset. In the application,
even if the pin is configured as output, any reset
puts it back in input pull-up.

FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY (Cont’d)
4.5 Memory Protection
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
Readout protection, when selected provides a protection against program memory content extraction 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 microcontroller.
Both program and data E
2
memory are protected.
In flash devices, this protection is removed by reprogramming the option. In this case, both program and data E
2
memory are automatically
erased and the device can be reprogrammed.
– Read-out protection selection is enabled and re-
moved through the FMP_R bit in the option byte.
4.5.2 Flash Write/Erase Protection
Write/erase protection, when set, makes it impossible to both overwrite and erase program memory. It does not apply to E
2
data. Its purpose is to
provide advanced security to applications and prevent any change being made to the memory content.
Warning: Once set, Write/erase protection can
never be removed. A write-protected flash device
is no longer reprogrammable.
Write/erase protection is enabled through the
FMP_W bit in the option byte.
4.6 Related Documentation
For details on Flash programming and ICC protocol, refer to the ST7 Flash Programming Reference Manual and to the ST7 ICC Protocol Reference Manual
Note: This register is reserved for programming
using ICP, IAP or other programming methods. It
controls the XFlash programming and erasing operations.
When an EPB or another programming tool is
used (in socket or ICP mode), the RASS keys are
sent automatically.

5.3 MEMORY ACCESS
The Data EEPROM memory read/write access
modes are controlled by the E2LAT bit of the EEPROM Control/Status register (EECSR). The flowchart in Figure 7 describes these different memory
access modes.
Read Operation (E2LAT=0)
The EEPROM can be read as a normal ROM location when the E2LAT bit of the EECSR register is
cleared.
On this device, Data EEPROM can also be used to
execute machine code. Take care not to write to
the Data EEPROM while executing from it. This
would result in an unexpected code being executed.
Write Operation (E2LAT=1)
To access the write mode, the E2LAT bit has to be
set by software (the E2PGM bit remains cleared).
When a write access to the EEPROM area occurs,
Figure 7. Data EEPROM Programming Flowchart
READ MODE
E2LAT=0
E2PGM=0
the value is latched inside the 32 data latches according to its address.
When PGM bit is set by the software, all the previous bytes written in the data latches (up to 32) are
programmed in the EEPROM cells. The effective
high address (row) is determined by the last EEPROM write sequence. To avoid wrong programming, the user must take care that all the bytes
written between two programming sequences
have the same high address: only the five Least
Significant Bits of the address can change.
At the end of the programming cycle, the PGM and
LAT bits are cleared simultaneously.
Note: Care should be taken during the programming cycle. Writing to the same memory location
will over-program the memory (logical AND between the two write access data result) because
the data latches are only cleared at the end of the
programming cycle and by the falling edge of the
E2LAT bit.
It is not possible to read the latched data.
This note is ilustrated by the Figure 9.

5.4 POWER SAVING MODES
Wait mode
The DATA EEPROM can enter WAIT mode on execution of the WFI instruction of the microcontroller or when the microcontroller enters Active-HALT
mode.The DATA EEPROM will immediately enter
this mode if there is no programming in progress,
otherwise the DATA EEPROM will finish the cycle
and then enter WAIT mode.
Active-Halt mode
Refer to Wait mode.
Halt mode
The DATA EEPROM immediately enters HALT
mode if the microcontroller executes the HALT instruction. Therefore the EEPROM will stop the
function in progress, and data may be corrupted.
5.5 ACCESS ERROR HANDLING
If a read access occurs while E2LAT=1, then the
data bus will not be driven.
If a write access occurs while E2LAT=0, then the
data on the bus will not be latched.
If a programming cycle is interrupted (by RESET
action), the integrity of the data in memory is not
guaranteed.
5.6 Data EEPROM Read-out Protection
The read-out protection is enabled through an option bit (see section 15.1 on page 161).
When this option is selected, the programs and
data stored in the EEPROM memory are protected
against read-out (including a re-write protection).
In Flash devices, when this protection is removed
by reprogramming the Option Byte, the entire Program memory and EEPROM is first automatically
erased.
Note: Both Program Memory and data EEPROM
are protected using the same option bit.

Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operands and the results of the
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
In indexed addressing modes, these 8-bit registers
are used to create either effective addresses or

The Y register is not affected by the interrupt automatic procedures (not pushed to and popped from
the stack).
Program Counter (PC)
The program counter is a 16-bit register containing
the address of the next instruction to be executed
by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL
(Program Counter Low which is the LSB) and PCH
(Program Counter High which is the MSB).

The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the interrupt mask and four flags representative of the
result of the instruction just executed. This register
can also be handled by the PUSH and POP instructions.
These bits can be individually tested and/or controlled by specific instructions.
Bit 4 = H Half carry
This bit is set by hardware when a carry occurs be-
tween bits 3 and 4 of the ALU during an ADD or
ADC instruction. It is reset by hardware during the
same instructions.
0: No half carry has occurred.
1: A half carry has occurred.
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruction. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subroutines.
Bit 3 = I Interrupt mask
This bit is set by hardware when entering in inter-
rupt or by software to disable all interrupts except
the TRAP software interrupt. This bit is cleared by
software.
0: Interrupts are enabled.
1: Interrupts are disabled.
This bit is controlled by the RIM, SIM and IRET instructions and is tested by the JRM and JRNM instructions.
Note: Interrupts requested while I is set are
latched and can be processed when I is cleared.
By default an interrupt routine is not interruptible
because the I bit is set by hardware at the start of
the routine and reset by the IRET instruction at the
end of the routine. If the I bit is cleared by software
in the interrupt routine, pending interrupts are
serviced regardless of the priority level of the current interrupt routine.
Bit 2 = N Negative
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. It is repre-
sentative of the result sign of the last arithmetic,
Bit 1 = Z Zero
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This bit in-
dicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical
or data manipulation is zero.
0: The result of the last operation is different from
zero.
1: The result of the last operation is zero.
This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test
instructions.
Bit 0 = C Carry/borrow
This bit is set and cleared by hardware and soft-
ware. It indicates an overflow or an underflow has
occurred during the last arithmetic operation.
0: No overflow or underflow has occurred.
1: An overflow or underflow has occurred.
This bit is driven by the SCF and RCF instructions
and tested by the JRC and JRNC instructions. It is
also affected by the “bit test and branch”, shift and
rotate instructions.

The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is always pointing to the next free location in the stack.
It is then decremented after data has been pushed
onto the stack and incremented before data is
popped from the stack (see Figure 11).
Since the stack is 128 bytes deep, the 9 most significant bits are forced by hardware. Following an
21/173

ST7LITE3xF2
MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruction (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset value (the SP6 to SP0 bits are set) which is the stack
higher address.
The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD 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 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 11.
– When an interrupt is received, the SP is decre-
mented and the context is pushed on the stack.
– On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented
and the context is popped from the stack.
A subroutine call occupies two locations and an interrupt five locations in the stack area.
The 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.

7.1 INTERNAL RC OSCILLATOR ADJUSTMENT
The device contains an internal RC oscillator with
an accuracy of 1% for a given device, temperature
and voltage range (4.5V-5.5V). It must be calibrated to obtain the frequency required in the application. This is done by software writing a 8-bit calibration value in the RCCR (RC Control Register)
and in the bits [6:5] in the SICSR (SI Control Status Register).
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
stored in EEPROM for 3V and 5V V
ages at 25°C, as shown in the following table.

is forced as a clock source, regardless of the selection in the option byte. For ST7LITE30 devices which do not support the internal RC
oscillator, the “option byte disabled” mode must
be used (35-pulse ICC mode entry, clock provided by the tool).
– See “ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS” on
page 131. for more information on the frequency
and accuracy of the RC oscillator.
– To improve clock stability and frequency accura-
cy, it is recommended to place a decoupling capacitor, typically 100nF, between the V

ST, including on FASTROM devices. Consequently, customers intending to use FASTROM
service must not use these bytes.
– RCCR0 and RCCR1 calibration values will not
be erased if the read-out protection bit is reset after it has been set . See “Read out Protection” on
page 14.
Caution: If the voltage or temperature conditions
change in the application, the frequency may need
to be recalibrated.
Refer to application note AN1324 for information
on how to calibrate the RC frequency using an external reference signal.
7.2 PHASE LOCKED LOOP
The PLL can be used to multiply a 1MHz frequency from the RC oscillator or the external clock by 4
or 8 to obtain f
of 4 or 8 MHz. The PLL is ena-

7.4 MULTI-OSCILLATOR (MO)
The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by
four different source types coming from the multioscillator block (1 to 16MHz or 32kHz):
■ an external source
■ 5 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 5. Refer to the
electrical characteristics section for more details.
External Clock Source
In this external clock mode, a clock signal (square,
sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive
the OSC1 pin while the OSC2 pin is tied to ground.
Note: when the Multi-Oscillator is not used, PB4 is
selected by default as external clock.
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
to section 15.1 on page 161 for more details on the
frequency ranges). In this mode of the multi-oscillator, the resonator and the load capacitors have
to be placed as close as possible to the oscillator
pins in order to minimize output distortion and
start-up stabilization time. The loading capacitance values must be adjusted according to the
selected oscillator.
These oscillators are not stopped during the
RESET phase to avoid losing time in the oscillator
start-up phase.
Internal RC Oscillator
In this mode, the tunable 1%RC oscillator is used
as main clock source. The two oscillator pins have
to be tied to ground.
The calibration is done through the RCCR[7:0] and
SICSR[6:5] registers.
The reset sequence manager includes three RESET sources as shown in Figure 15:
■ External RESET source pulse
■ Internal LVD RESET (Low Voltage Detection)
■ Internal WATCHDOG RESET
Note: A reset can also be triggered following the
detection of an illegal opcode or prebyte code. Refer to section 12.2.1 on page 128 for further details.
These sources act on the RESET
pin and it is al-
ways kept low during the delay phase.
The RESET service routine vector is fixed at ad-
dresses FFFEh-FFFFh in the ST7 memory map.
The basic RESET sequence consists of 3 phases
as shown in Figure 14:
■ Active Phase depending on the RESET source
■ 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay (see table
below)
■ RESET vector fetch
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 stabilise 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.
If the PLL is enabled by option byte, it outputs the
clock after an additional delay of t
STARTUP
(see
Figure 12).

This pull-up has no fixed value but varies in accordance with the input voltage. It

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 16). This detection is asynchronous and therefore the MCU
can enter reset state even in HALT mode.

7.6 SYSTEM INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT (SI)
The System Integrity Management block contains
the Low voltage Detector (LVD) and Auxiliary Voltage Detector (AVD) functions. It is managed by
the SICSR register.
Note: A reset can also be triggered following the
detection of an illegal opcode or prebyte code. Refer to section 12.2.1 on page 128 for further details.
7.6.1 Low Voltage Detector (LVD)
The Low Voltage Detector function (LVD) generates a static reset when the V

it secures the power-up as well as the power-down
keeping the ST7 in reset.
The V

reference value for poweron in order to avoid a parasitic reset when the
MCU starts running and sinks current on the supply (hysteresis).

when VDD is falling
The LVD function is illustrated in Figure 17.
The voltage threshold can be configured by option
byte to be low, medium or high.
Provided the minimum V
the oscillator frequency) is above V
value (guaranteed for
DD
IT-(LVD)
, the
MCU can only be in two modes:
– under full software control
– in static safe reset
In these conditions, secure operation is always ensured for the application without the need for external reset hardware.
During a Low Voltage Detector Reset, the RESET
pin is held low, thus permitting the MCU to reset
other devices.
Notes:
The LVD allows the device to be used without any
external RESET circuitry.
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
down to
DD
0V to ensure optimum restart conditions. Refer to
circuit example in Figure 99 on page 154 and note
4.
The LVD is an optional function which can be se-
lected by option byte.
It is recommended to make sure that the V
DD
supply voltage rises monotonously when the device is
exiting from Reset, to ensure the application functions properly.

8 INTERRUPTS
ST7LITE3xF2
The ST7 core may be interrupted by one of two different methods: Maskable hardware interrupts as
listed in the “interrupt mapping” table and a nonmaskable software interrupt (TRAP). The Interrupt
processing flowchart is shown in Figure 20.
The maskable interrupts must be enabled by
clearing the I bit in order to be serviced. However,
disabled interrupts may be latched and processed
when they are enabled (see external interrupts
subsection).
Note: After reset, all interrupts are disabled.
When an interrupt has to be serviced:
– Normal processing is suspended at the end of
the current instruction execution.
– The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto
the stack.
– The I bit of the CC register is set to prevent addi-
tional interrupts.
– The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of
the interrupt to service and the first instruction of
the interrupt service routine is fetched (refer to
the Interrupt Mapping table for vector addresses).
The interrupt service routine should finish with the
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,
the I bit is cleared and the main program resumes.
Priority Management
By default, a servicing interrupt cannot be interrupted because the I bit is set by hardware entering in interrupt routine.
In the case when several interrupts are simultaneously pending, an hardware priority defines which
one will be serviced first (see the Interrupt Mapping table).
Interrupts and Low Power Mode
All interrupts allow the processor to leave the
WAIT low power mode. Only external and specifically mentioned interrupts allow the processor to
leave the HALT low power mode (refer to the “Exit
from HALT” column in the Interrupt Mapping table).
8.1 NON MASKABLE SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
This interrupt is entered when the TRAP instruction is executed regardless of the state of the I bit.
It is serviced according to the flowchart in Figure
20.
8.2 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
External interrupt vectors can be loaded into the
PC register if the corresponding external interrupt
occurred and if the I bit is cleared. These interrupts
allow the processor to leave the HALT low power
mode.
The external interrupt polarity is selected through
the miscellaneous register or interrupt register (if
available).
An external interrupt triggered on edge will be
latched and the interrupt request automatically
cleared upon entering the interrupt service routine.
Caution: The type of sensitivity defined in the Miscellaneous or Interrupt register (if available) applies to the ei source. In case of a NANDed source
(as described in the I/O ports section), a low level
on an I/O pin, configured as input with interrupt,
masks the interrupt request even in case of risingedge sensitivity.
8.3 PERIPHERAL INTERRUPTS
Different peripheral interrupt flags in the status
register are able to cause an interrupt when they
are active if both:
– The I bit of the CC register is cleared.
– The corresponding enable bit is set in the control
register.
If any of these two conditions is false, the interrupt
is latched and thus remains pending.
Clearing an interrupt request is done by:
– Writing “0” to the corresponding bit in the status
register or
– Access to the status register while the flag is set
followed by a read or write of an associated register.
Note: The clearing sequence resets the internal
latch. A pending interrupt (that is, waiting for being
enabled) will therefore be lost if the clear sequence is executed.
Note 1: This interrupt exits the MCU from “Auto Wake-up from Halt” mode only.
Note 2: These interrupts exit the MCU from “ACTIVE-HALT” mode only.

9 POWER SAVING MODES
ST7LITE3xF2
9.1 INTRODUCTION
To give a large measure of flexibility to the application in terms of power consumption, five main power saving modes are implemented in the ST7 (see
Figure 21):
■ Slow
■ Wait (and Slow-Wait)
■ Active Halt
■ Auto Wake up 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 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.
Figure 21. Power Saving Mode Transitions
High
9.2 SLOW MODE
This mode has two targets:
– To reduce power consumption by decreasing the
internal clock in the device,
– To adapt the internal clock frequency (f
CPU
) to
the available supply voltage.
SLOW mode is controlled by 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 clocked at thislower frequency.
Note: SLOW-WAIT mode is activated when entering WAIT mode while the device is already in
SLOW mode.

9.3 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.

9.4 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 is disabled
(see section 9.5 on page 42 for more details) and
when the AWUEN bit in the AWUCSR register is
cleared.
The MCU can exit HALT mode on reception of either a specific interrupt (see Table 6, “Interrupt
Mapping,” on page 36) or a RESET. When exiting
HALT mode by means of a RESET or an interrupt,
the oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256
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 Figure 25).
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 up immediately.
In HALT mode, the main oscillator is turned off
causing all internal processing to be stopped, including 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 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 sec-
tion 15.1 on page 161 for more details).

9.4.0.1 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” or “floating 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 sensi-
tiveness 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 failure, it is advised to clear all
occurrences of the data value 0x8E from memory. For example, avoid defining a constant in program memory 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 before executing the HALT instruction. This avoids
entering other peripheral interrupt routines after
executing the external interrupt routine corresponding to the wake-up event (reset or external
interrupt).
9.5 ACTIVE-HALT MODE
ACTIVE-HALT mode is the lowest power consumption mode of the MCU with a real time clock
(RTC) available. It is entered by executing the
‘HALT’ instruction. The decision to enter either in
ACTIVE-HALT or HALT mode is given by the LTCSR/ATCSR register status as shown in the following table:.

00xx

x 101

CK1 bit
ATCSR
CK0 bit
ACTIVE-HALT
mode disabled
ACTIVE-HALT
mode enabled
Meaning
The MCU can exit ACTIVE-HALT mode on reception of a specific interrupt (see Table 6, “Interrupt
Mapping,” on page 36) 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 reset vector which woke it up (see
Figure 27).
– 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 27).
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 (see Note 3).
In ACTIVE-HALT mode, only the main oscillator
and the selected timer counter (LT/AT) are running
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).
42/173

Note: As soon as ACTIVE-HALT is enabled, executing a HALT instruction 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.

9.6 AUTO WAKE UP FROM HALT MODE
Auto Wake Up From Halt (AWUFH) mode is similar to Halt mode with the additional of an internal
RC oscillator for wake-up. Compared to ACTIVEHALT mode, AWUFH has lower power consumption (the main clock is not kept running), but there
is no accurate realtime clock available.
It is entered by executing the HALT instruction
when the AWUEN bit in the AWUCSR register has
been set.

Notes:
1. This delay occurs only if the MCU exits ACTIVE-
HALT mode by means of a RESET.
2. Peripherals clocked with an external clock
source can still be active.
3. Only the RTC1 interrupt and some specific interrupts can exit the MCU from ACTIVE-HALT mode.
Refer to Table 6, “Interrupt Mapping,” on page 36
for more details.
4. Before servicing an interrupt, the CC register is
pushed on the stack. The I bit of the CC register is
set during the interrupt routine and cleared when
the CC register is popped.
As soon as HALT mode is entered, and if the
AWUEN bit has been set in the AWUCSR register,
the AWU RC oscillator provides a clock signal
(f
AWU_RC
). Its frequency is divided by a fixed divider and a programmable prescaler controlled by the
AWUPR register. The output of this prescaler provides the delay time. When the delay has elapsed
the AWUF flag is set by hardware and an interrupt
wakes-up the MCU from Halt mode. At the same
time the main oscillator is immediately turned on
and a 256 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
AWU_RC
lad timer, allowing the f
to the input capture of the 12-bit Auto-Re-
AWU_RC
to be measured
using the main oscillator clock as a reference timebase.

Similarities with Halt mode
The following AWUFH mode behaviour 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 9.4 HALT MODE).
– When entering AWUFH mode, the I bit in the CC
register is forced to 0 to enable interrupts. Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the MCU wakes
up immediately.
Figure 29. AWUF Halt Timing Diagram
t
AWU
– In AWUFH mode, the main oscillator is turned off
causing all internal processing to be stopped, including the operation of the on-chip peripherals.
None of the peripherals are clocked except those
which get their clock supply from another 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 byte. Depending on this
setting, the HALT instruction when executed
while the Watchdog system is enabled, can generate a Watchdog RESET.

This prescaler register can be programmed to

Note: If 00h is written to AWUPR, depending on
the product, an interrupt is generated immediately
after a HALT instruction, or 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 input or digital
output. In addition, specific pins may have several
other functions. These functions can include external interrupt, alternate signal input/output for onchip peripherals or analog input.
10.2 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
following description takes into account the OR
register. Refer to the Port Configuration table for
device specific information.
An I/O pin is programmed using the corresponding
bits in the DDR, DR and OR registers: bit x corresponding to pin x of the port.
Figure 31 shows the generic I/O block diagram.
10.2.1 Input Modes
Clearing the DDRx bit selects input mode. In this
mode, reading its DR bit returns the digital value
from that I/O pin.
If an OR bit is available, different input modes can
be configured by software: floating or pull-up. Refer to I/O Port Implementation section for configuration.
Notes:
1. Writing to the DR modifies the latch value but
does not change the state of the input pin.
2. Do not use read/modify/write instructions
(BSET/BRES) to modify the DR register.
External Interrupt Function
Depending on the device, setting the ORx bit while
in input mode can configure an I/O as an input with
interrupt. In this configuration, a signal edge or level input on the I/O generates an interrupt request
via the corresponding interrupt vector (eix).
Falling or rising edge sensitivity is programmed independently for each interrupt vector. The External Interrupt Control Register (EICR) or the Miscellaneous Register controls this sensitivity, depending on the device.
A device may have up to 7 external interrupts.
Several pins may be tied to one external interrupt
vector. Refer to Pin Description to see which ports
have external interrupts.
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. Modifying the sensitivity
bits will clear any pending interrupts.
10.2.2 Output Modes
Setting the DDRx bit selects output mode. Writing
to the DR bits applies a digital value 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 opendrain. Refer to I/O Port Implementation section for
configuration.

10.2.3 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. The Device
Pin Description table describes 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 output and takes priority over 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 the peripherals so that
the signals do not arrive 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.

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 level or loading on any
I/O while conversion is in progress. Do not have
clocking pins located close to a selected analog
pin.
WARNING: The analog input voltage level must
be within the limits stated in the absolute maximum ratings.
10.3 I/O PORT IMPLEMENTATION
The hardware implementation on each I/O port depends on the settings in the DDR and OR registers
and specific 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 32. Other transitions
are potentially risky and should be avoided, since
they may present unwanted side-effects such as
spurious interrupt generation.

11.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)
11.1.1 Introduction
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 circuit 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.
11.1.2 Main Features
■ Programmable free-running downcounter (64
increments of 16000 CPU cycles)
■ Programmable reset
■ Reset (if watchdog activated) when the T6 bit
reaches zero
Figure 33. Watchdog Block Diagram
RESET
■ Optional reset on HALT instruction
(configurable by option byte)
■ Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte
11.1.3 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.

WATCHDOG TIMER (Cont’d)
The application program must write in the CR reg-
ister at regular intervals during normal operation to
prevent an MCU reset. This downcounter is freerunning: it counts down even if the watchdog is
disabled. The value to be stored in the CR register
must be between FFh and C0h (see Table 14
.Watchdog Timing):
– 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.
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.

11.1.4 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
15.1 on page 161.
11.1.4.1 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 avoid an unexpected WDG reset immediately after waking up
the microcontroller.

11.2.3 Functional Description
11.2.3.1 PWM Mode
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
cies. This is selected by the ENCNTR2 bit which
enables single timer or dual timer mode (see Fig-
ure 34 and Figure 35).
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.
Following the above formula,
– If f
COUNTER
is 2 MHz (ATR register value = 4094),the minimum value is 1 KHz (ATR register value = 0).
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 available resolution for the PWMx
duty cycle is:
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.

the active Duty Cycle registers and the PWMx signals are set to a high level. When the upcounter
matches the active DCRx value the PWMx signals
are set to a low level. To obtain a signal on a
PWMx pin, the contents of the corresponding 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 36.

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 non-overlapping PWM0/
PWM1 signals are generated through a programmable dead time by setting the DTE bit.
Dead time value = DT[6:0] x Tcounter1
DTGR[7:0] is buffered inside so as to avoid de-
forming the current PWM cycle. The DTGR effect
will take place only after an overflow.
Figure 39. Dead Time Generation
T
counter1
CK_CNTR1
Notes:
1. Dead time is generated only when DTE=1 and
DT[6:0] ≠ 0. If DTE is set and DT[6:0]=0, PWM output signals will be at their reset state.
2. Half 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.

Break Function
The break function can be used to perform an
emergency shutdown of the application being driven by the PWM signals.
The break function is activated by the external
BREAK pin (active low). In order to use the
BREAK pin it must be previously enabled by software setting the BPEN bit in the BREAKCR register.
When a low level is detected on the BREAK pin,
the BA bit is set and the break function is activated. In this case, the 4 PWM signals are stopped.
Software can set the BA bit to activate the break
function without using the BREAK pin.
When the break function is activated (BA bit =1):
Figure 40. Block Diagram of Break Function

ST7LITE3xF2
– The break pattern (PWM[3:0] bits in the BREAK-
CR) is forced directly on the PWMx output pins
(after the inverter).
– The 12-bit PWM counter CNTR1 is put to its re-
set value, i.e. 00h.
– The 12-bit PWM counter CNTR2 is put to its re-
set value,i.e. 00h.
– ATR1, ATR2, Preload and Active DCRx are put
to their reset values.
– The PWMCR register is reset.
– Counters stop counting.
When the break function is deactivated after ap-
plying the break (BA bit goes from 1 to 0 by software):
– The control of the 4 PWM outputs is transferred
to the port registers.

11.2.3.2 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.
The output compare function is always performed
on CNTR1 in both Single Timer mode and Dual
Timer mode, and never on CNTR2. The difference
is that in Single Timer mode the counter 1 can be
compared with any of the four DCR registers, and

in Dual Timer mode, counter 1 is compared with

Notes:
1. The output compare function is only available
for DCRx values other than 0 (reset value).
2. Duty cycle registers are buffered internally. The
CPU writes in Preload Duty Cycle Registers and
these values are transferred in Active Duty Cycle
Registers after an overflow event if the corresponding transfer bit (TRAN1 bit) is set. Output
compare is done by comparing these active DCRx
values with the counter.

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

Notes:
1. Since the input capture flags (ICF) for both tim-
ers (AT3 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.
2. If the ICS bit changes (from 0 to 1 or from 1 to
0), a spurious transition might occur on the input
capture signal because of different values on LTIC
and ATIC. To avoid this situation, it is recommended to do as follows:
– First, reset both ICIE bits.
– Then set the ICS bit.
– Reset both ICF bits.

3. How to compute a pulse length with long input
capture feature.
As both timers are used, computing a pulse length
is not straight-forward. The procedure is as follows:
– At the first input capture on the rising edge of the
pulse, we assume that values in the registers are
as follows:
LTICR = LT1
ATICRH = ATH1
ATICRL = ATL1
Hence ATICR1 [11:0] = ATH1 & ATL1
Refer to Figure 45 on page 65.

– At the second input capture on the falling edge of
the pulse, we assume that the values in the registers are as follows:
LTICR = LT2
ATICRH = ATH2
Now pulse width P between first capture and second capture will be:
P = decimal (F9 – LT1 + LT2 + 1) * 0.004ms + decimal (ATICR2 - ATICR1 – 1) * 1ms

This 12-bit register is read by software and cleared

incremented continuously as soon as a counter
clock is selected. To obtain the 12-bit value, software should read the counter value in two consecutive read operations. The CNTR1H register can
be incremented between the two reads, and in order to be accurate when f

, the software
should take this into account when CNTR1L and
CNTR1H are read. If CNTR1L is close to its highest value, CNTR1H could be incremented before it
is read.
When a counter overflow occurs, the counter restarts from the value specified in the ATR1 register.

11.4 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
11.4.1 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 or a system in
which devices may be either masters or slaves.
11.4.2 Main Features
■ Full duplex synchronous transfers (on three
lines)
■ Simplex synchronous transfers (on two lines)
■ Master or slave operation
■ 6 master mode frequencies (f
■ f
■ SS Management by software or hardware
■ Programmable clock polarity and phase
■ End of transfer interrupt flag

flags
Note: In slave mode, continuous transmission is
not possible at maximum frequency due to the
software overhead for clearing status flags and to
initiate the next transmission sequence.
11.4.3 General Description
Figure 48 on page 79 shows the serial peripheral
interface (SPI) block diagram. There are three registers:
– SPI Control Register (SPICR)
– SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)
– SPI Data Register (SPIDR)
The SPI is connected to external devices through
four 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
: Slave select:
–SS
This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let
the SPI master communicate with slaves individually and to avoid contention on the data
lines. Slave SS
inputs can be driven by stand-
ard I/O ports on the master Device.

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (cont’d)
11.4.3.1 Functional Description
A basic example of interconnections between a
single master and a single slave is illustrated in
Figure 49.
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 responds by sending data to the master device via
Figure 49. Single Master/ Single Slave Application
the MISO pin. This implies full duplex communication 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 52 on page 83) but master
and slave must be programmed with the same timing mode.

11.4.3.2 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 register (see Figure 51).
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
ST7LITE3xF2
In Slave Mode:
There are two cases depending on the data/clock
timing relationship (see Figure 50):
If CPHA = 1 (data latched on second clock edge):
–SS
internal must be held low during the entire
transmission. This implies that in single slave
applications the SS
V
, or made free for standard I/O by manag-
SS
ing the SS
function by software (SSM = 1 and
SSI = 0 in the in the SPICSR register)
If CPHA = 0 (data latched on first 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 register. If SS
is not pulled high, a Write Collision
error will occur when the slave writes to the
shift register (see Section 11.4.5.3).
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).
How to operate the SPI in master mode
To operate the SPI in master mode, perform the
following steps in order:
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. Figure
52 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 SS
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).
Important note: if the SPICSR register is not written first, the SPICR register setting (MSTR bit)
may be not taken into account.
The transmit sequence begins when software
writes a byte in the SPIDR register.
11.4.3.4 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 significant 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
pin high for
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR register is read.
11.4.3.5 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 52).
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
– Manage the SS
11.4.3.2 and Figure 50. If CPHA = 1 SS
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.
11.4.3.6 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 significant 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

Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR register 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

11.4.4 Clock Phase and Clock Polarity
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits (See
Figure 52).
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.

11.4.5.2 Overrun Condition (OVR)
An overrun condition occurs when the master device has sent a data byte and the slave device has
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.
11.4.5.3 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 11.4.3.2 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 CPU operation.
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 53).

11.4.5.4 Single Master and Multimaster
Configurations
There are two types of SPI systems:
– Single Master System
– Multimaster System
Single Master System
A typical single master system may be configured
using a device as the master and four devices as
slaves (see Figure 54).
The master device selects the individual slave devices by using four pins of a parallel port to control
the four SS

pins are pulled high during reset since the
master device ports will be forced to be inputs at
that time, thus disabling the slave devices.
Note: To prevent a bus conflict on the MISO line,
the master allows only one active slave device
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 connected and the slave has not written to its SPIDR
register.
Other transmission security methods can use
ports for handshake lines or data bytes with command fields.
Multimaster System
A multimaster system may also be configured by
the user. Transfer of master control could be implemented using a handshake method through the
I/O ports or by an exchange of code messages
through the serial peripheral interface system.
The multimaster system is principally handled by
the MSTR bit in the SPICR register and the MODF
bit in the SPICSR register.

Mode Description
No effect on SPI.
WAIT
HALT
11.4.6.1 Using the SPI to wake up the device
from Halt mode
In slave configuration, the SPI is able to wake up
the device from HALT mode through a SPIF interrupt. The data received is subsequently read from
the SPIDR register when the software is running
(interrupt vector fetch). If multiple data transfers
have been performed before software clears the
SPIF bit, then the OVR bit is set by hardware.
Note: When waking up from HALT mode, if the
SPI remains in Slave mode, it is recommended to
perform an extra communications cycle to bring
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 device is woken up
by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode”
capability. The data received is subsequently
read from the SPIDR register when the software 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.
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 device from
HALT mode only if the Slave Select signal (exter-
pin or the SSI bit in the SPICSR register) is
nal SS
low when the device enters HALT mode. So, if
Slave selection is configured as external (see Sec-
tion 11.4.3.2), make sure the master drives a low
level on the SS
pin when the slave enters HALT
mode.

The SPIDR register is used to transmit and receive
data on the serial bus. In a master device, a write
to this register will initiate transmission/reception
of another byte.
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
register are inhibited until the SPICSR register is
read.
Warning: A write to the SPIDR register places
data directly into the shift register for transmission.
A read to the SPIDR register returns the value located in the buffer and not the content of the shift
register (see Figure 48).

LINSCI™ SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (cont’d)
11.5.4 General Description
The interface is externally connected to another
device by two pins:
– TDO: Transmit Data Output. When the transmit-
ter is disabled, the output pin returns to its I/O
port configuration. When the transmitter is 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 recovery by discriminating between valid incoming
data and noise.
Through these pins, serial data is transmitted and
received as characters 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 character is com-
plete
This interface uses three 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 LIN baud rate generator with automatic resyn-
chronization

The TDO pin is in high state during the stop bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as a continuous

LINSCI™ SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (SCI Mode) (cont’d)
11.5.5.2 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) between the internal bus and the transmit shift register (see Figure 55).
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 send a preamble of 10 (M = 0)
or 11 (M = 1) consecutive ones (Idle Line) 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[|1:0] bits are 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.
When a character transmission is complete (after
the stop bit) the TC bit is set and an interrupt is
generated if the TCIE is set and the I[1:0] bits are
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 character length depends on the M bit (see Figure 56).
As long as the SBK bit is set, the SCI sends break
characters to the TDO pin. After clearing this bit by
software, the SCI inserts a logic 1 bit at the end of
the last break character to guarantee the recognition of the start bit of the next character.
Idle Line
Setting the TE bit drives the SCI to send a preamble of 10 (M = 0) or 11 (M = 1) consecutive ‘1’s
(idle line) before the first character.
In this case, clearing and then setting the TE bit
during a transmission sends a preamble (idle line)
after the current word. Note that the preamble duration (10 or 11 consecutive ‘1’s depending on the
M bit) does not take into account the stop bit of the
previous character.
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.
94/173

LINSCI™ SERIAL COMMUNICATION INTERFACE (SCI Mode) (cont’d)
11.5.5.3 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) between the internal bus and the received shift register (see Figure 55).
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[1:0] bits are 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.
Idle Line
When an idle line is detected, there is the same
procedure as a data received character plus an interrupt if the ILIE bit is set and the I[|1:0] bits are
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
TDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not
cleared.
When an overrun error occurs:
– The OR bit is set.
– The RDR content will not be lost.
– The shift register will be overwritten.
– An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I[|1:0] bits are 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.
When noise is detected in a character:
– The NF bit 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 bit is reset by a SCISR register read operation followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
Framing Error
A framing error is detected when:
– The stop bit is not recognized on reception at the
expected time, following either a desynchroniza-
tion 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.
Break Character
– When a break character is received, the SCI
handles it as a framing error. To differentiate a
break character from a framing error, it is neces-
sary to read the SCIDR. If the received value is
00h, it is a break character. Otherwise it is a
framing error.

PR = 13 and TR = RR = 1, the transmit and receive baud rates are 38400 baud.
Note: The baud rate registers MUST NOT be
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is enabled.
11.5.5.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation
The extended prescaler option gives a very fine
tuning on the baud rate, using a 255 value prescaler, whereas the conventional Baud Rate Generator retains industry standard software compatibility.
The extended baud rate generator block diagram
is described in Figure 57.
The output clock rate sent to the transmitter or to
the receiver will be the output from the 16 divider
divided 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
follows:

11.5.5.6 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 woken up in one of the
following ways:
– by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,
– by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.
Idle Line Detection
Receiver wakes up by Idle Line detection when the
Receive line has recognized an Idle Line. Then the
RWU bit is reset by hardware but the IDLE bit is
not set.
This feature is useful in a multiprocessor system
when the first characters of the message determine the address and when each message ends
by an idle line: As soon as the line becomes idle,
every receivers is waken up and analyse the first
characters of the message which indicates the addressed receiver. The receivers which are not addressed set RWU bit to enter in mute mode. Consequently, they will not treat the next characters
constituting the next part of the message. At the
end of the message, an idle line is sent by the
transmitter: this wakes up every receivers which
are ready to analyse the addressing characters of
the new message.
In such a system, the inter-characters space must
be smaller than the idle time.
Address Mark Detection
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 address. 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.
This feature is useful in a multiprocessor system
when the most significant bit of each character
(except for the break character) is reserved for Address Detection. As soon as the receivers re-
ceived an address character (most significant bit
= ’1’), the receivers are waken up. The receivers
which are not addressed set RWU bit to enter in
mute mode. Consequently, they will not treat the
next characters constituting the next part of the
message.
11.5.5.7 Parity Control
Hardware byte 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 character format defined by the M bit, the possible SCI character formats are as listed in Table 20.
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
Table 20. Character Formats
M bitPCE bit Character format

0| SB | 8 bit data | STB |
1| SB | 7-bit data | PB | STB |
0| SB | 9-bit data | STB |
1| SB | 8-bit data | PB | STB |
Even parity: The parity bit is calculated to obtain
an even number of “1s” inside the character 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
will be 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 character 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
will be 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
even number of “1s” if even parity is selected
(PS = 0) or an odd number of “1s” if odd parity is
selected (PS = 1). If the parity check fails, the PE
flag is set in the SCISR register and an interrupt is
generated if PCIE is set in the SCICR1 register.

SCI registers are frozen.
In Halt mode, the SCI stops transmitting/receiving until Halt mode is exited.
The SCI interrupt events are connected to the

Bit 7 = TDRE Transmit data register empty
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the
TDR register has been transferred into the shift
register. An interrupt is generated if the TIE = 1 in
the SCICR2 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an access to the SCISR register followed
by a write to the SCIDR register).
0: Data is not transferred to the shift register
1: Data is transferred to the shift register
Bit 6 = TC Transmission complete
This bit is set by hardware when transmission of a
character containing Data is complete. An interrupt is generated if TCIE = 1 in the SCICR2 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an access to the SCISR register followed by a write to
the SCIDR register).
0: Transmission is not complete
1: Transmission is complete
Note: TC is not set after the transmission of a Preamble or a Break.
Bit 5 = RDRF Received data ready flag
This bit is set by hardware when the content of the
RDR register has been transferred to the SCIDR
register. An interrupt is generated if RIE = 1 in the
SCICR2 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an access to the SCISR register followed
by a read to the SCIDR register).
0: Data is not received
1: Received data is ready to be read
Bit 3 = OR Overrun error
The OR bit is set by hardware when the word cur-
rently being received in the shift register is ready to
be transferred into the RDR register whereas
RDRF is still set. An interrupt is generated if
RIE = 1 in the SCICR2 register. It is cleared by a
software sequence (an access to the SCISR register followed by a read to the SCIDR register).
0: No Overrun error
1: Overrun error detected
Note: When this bit is set, RDR register contents
will not be lost but the shift register will be overwritten.
Bit 2 = NF Character Noise flag
This bit is set by hardware when noise is detected
on a received character. It is cleared by a software
sequence (an access to the SCISR register followed by a read to the SCIDR register).
0: No noise
1: Noise is detected
Note: This bit does not generate interrupt as it appears at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself generates an interrupt.
Bit 1 = FE Framing error
This bit is set by hardware when a desynchronization, excessive noise or a break character is detected. It is cleared by a software sequence (an
access to the SCISR register followed by a read to
the SCIDR register).
0: No Framing error
1: Framing error or break character detected
Note: This bit does not generate an interrupt as it
appears at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself generates an interrupt. If the word currently
being transferred causes both a frame error and
an overrun error, it will be transferred and only the
OR bit will be set.
Bit 4 = IDLE Idle line detected
This bit is set by hardware when an Idle Line is detected. An interrupt is generated if the ILIE = 1 in
the SCICR2 register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an access to the SCISR register followed
by a read to the SCIDR register).
0: No Idle Line is detected
1: Idle Line is detected
Note: The IDLE bit will not be set again until the
RDRF bit has been set itself (that is, a new idle line
occurs).

Bit 0 = PE Parity error
This bit is set by hardware when a byte parity error
occurs (if the PCE bit is set) in receiver mode. It is
cleared by a software sequence (a read to the status register followed by an access to the SCIDR
data register). An interrupt is generated if PIE = 1
in the SCICR1 register.
0: No parity error
1: Parity error detected
