The ST7LITE0 and ST7SUPERLITE are members
of the ST7 microcontroller family. All ST7 devices
are based on a common industry-standard 8-bit
core, featuring an enhanced instruction set.
The ST7LITE0 and ST7SUPERLITE feature
FLASH memory with byte-by-byte In-Circuit Programming (ICP) and In-Application Programming
(IAP) capability.
Under software control, the ST7LITE0 and
ST7SUPERLITE devices can be placed in WAIT,
SLOW, or HALT mode, reducing power consumption when the application is in idle or standby state.

4 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
ST7LITE0, ST7SUPERLITE
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 can be programmed or
erased.
– In-Circuit Programming. In this mode, FLASH
sectors 0 and 1, option byte row and data
EEPROM can be programmed or erased without removing the device from the application
board.
– In-Application Programming. In this mode,
sector 1 and data EEPROM 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.

4.4 ICC interface
ICP needs a minimum of 4 and up to 6 pins to be
connected to the programming tool. These pins
are:
– RESET
–V
: device reset
: device power supply ground
SS
– ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin
– ICCDATA: ICC input serial data pin
– CLKIN: main clock input for external source
: application board power supply (option-
–V
DD
al, see Note 3)
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 in case 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
Figure 5. Typical ICC Interface
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
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 has to be connected to the CLKIN 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.
Caution: During normal operation, ICCCLK pin
must be pulled- up, internally or externally (external pull-up of 10k mandatory in noisy environment). This is to avoid entering ICC mode unexpectedly during a reset. In the application, even if
the pin is configured as output, any reset will put it
back in input pull-up.

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 depends on the de-
vice type:
– In Flash devices it is enabled and removed
through the FMP_R bit in the option byte.
– In ROM devices it is enabled by mask option
specified in the Option List.
4.5.2 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. In a read cycle, the byte to be accessed is
put on the data bus in less than 1 CPU clock cycle.
This means that reading data from EEPROM
takes the same time as reading data from
EPROM, but this memory cannot be used to execute machine code.
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 software/
RESET action), the memory data will not be guaranteed.
5.6 Data EEPROM Read-out Protection
The read-out protection is enabled through an option bit (see section 15.1 on page 111).
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.

six internal registers allowing efficient 8-bit data
manipulation.
6.2 MAIN FEATURES
■ 63 basic instructions
■ Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply
■ 17 main addressing modes
■ Two 8-bit index registers
■ 16-bit stack pointer
■ Low power modes
■ Maskable hardware interrupts

6.3 CPU REGISTERS
The 6 CPU registers shown in Figure 10 are not
present in the memory mapping and are accessed
by specific instructions.
Figure 10. CPU Registers
70
Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose register used to hold operands and the results of the
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
In indexed addressing modes, these 8-bit registers
are used to create either effective addresses or
temporary storage areas for data manipulation.
(The Cross-Assembler generates a precede 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).
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 interruptable
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,
logical or data manipulation. It is a copy of the 7
bit of the result.
0: The result of the last operation is positive or null.
1: The result of the last operation is negative
(i.e. the most significant bit is a logic 1).
This bit is accessed by the JRMI and JRPL instructions.
Bit 1 = Z Zero.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This bit 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

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 64 bytes deep, the 10 most significant bits are forced by hardware. Following an
MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruction (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset value (the SP5 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 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.

7.1 INTERNAL RC OSCILLATOR ADJUSTMENT
The ST7 contains an internal RC oscillator with an
accuracy of 1% for a given device, temperature
and voltage. It must be calibrated to obtain the frequency required in the application. This is done by
software writing a calibration value in the RCCR
(RC Control 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 3.0 and 5V V
ages at 25°C, as shown in the following table.
supply volt-
DD
Notes:
– See “ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS” on
page 80. for more information on the frequency
and accuracy of the RC oscillator.
– To improve clock stability, it is recommended to
place a decoupling capacitor between the V
and V
pins as close as possible to the ST7 de-
SS

vice.

– These two bytes are systematically programmed

service must not use these two bytes.
– RCCR0 and RCCR1 calibration values will be
erased if the read-out protection bit is reset after
it has been set. See “Read out Protection” on
page 15.
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-
OSC
bled and the multiplication factor of 4 or 8 is selected by 2 option bits.
– The x4 PLL is intended for operation with V
DD
in
the 2.4V to 3.3V range
– The x8 PLL is intended for operation with V
DD
in
the 3.3V to 5.5V range
Refer to Section 15.1 for the option byte description.
If the PLL is disabled and the RC oscillator is enabled, then f
OSC =
1MHz.
If both the RC oscillator and the PLL are disabled,
is driven by the external clock.

7.4 RESET SEQUENCE MANAGER (RSM)
ST7LITE0, ST7SUPERLITE
7.4.1 Introduction
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
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 CPU clock cycle delay
■ RESET vector fetch
The 256 CPU clock cycle delay allows the oscillator to stabilise and ensures that recovery has taken place from the Reset state.
Figure 15. Reset Block Diagram
V
DD
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).

7.4.2 Asynchronous External RESET
The RESET
output with integrated R
pin is both an input and an open-drain
weak pull-up resistor.
ON
pin
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 16). This detection is asynchronous and therefore the MCU
can enter reset state even in HALT mode.
The RESET
pin is an asynchronous signal which
plays a major role in EMS performance. In a noisy
environment, it is recommended to follow the
guidelines mentioned in the electrical characteristics section.
7.4.3 External Power-On RESET
If the LVD is disabled by option byte, to start up the
microcontroller correctly, the user must ensure by
means of an external reset circuit that the reset
signal is held low until V
level specified for the selected f
is over the minimum
DD
frequency.

A proper reset signal for a slow rising V

can generally be provided by an external RC network connected to the RESET
pin.

■ Power-On RESET
■ Voltage Drop RESET

The LVD filters spikes on V

to
avoid parasitic resets.
7.4.5 Internal Watchdog RESET
The RESET sequence generated by a internal
Watchdog counter overflow is shown in Figure 16.
Starting from the Watchdog counter underflow, the
device RESET
low during at least t

8 INTERRUPTS
ST7LITE0, ST7SUPERLITE
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 17.
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 will be cleared and the main program will
resume.
Priority Management
By default, a servicing interrupt cannot be interrupted because the I bit is set by hardware entering in interrupt routine.
In the case when several interrupts are simultaneously pending, an hardware priority defines which
one will be serviced first (see the Interrupt 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 will be serviced according to the flowchart on
Figure 17.
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.
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 (i.e. waiting for being enabled) will therefore be lost if the clear sequence is
executed.
