1 INTRODUCTION
ST7LITE3
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.

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 162).
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
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).

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
21/175

ST7LITE3
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.

Note:
– 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 (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
pins as close as possible to the ST7 device

– These bytes are systematically programmed by
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-
OSC
bled and the multiplication factor of 4 or 8 is selected by 2 option bits.

in
the 2.7V to 3.3V range
– The x8 PLL is intended for operation with V

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 162 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
can be pulled

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.

microcontroller correctly, the user must ensure by
means of an external reset circuit that the reset
signal is held low until V

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

reference value. This means that
supply voltage is

it secures the power-up as well as the power-down
keeping the ST7 in reset.
The V
IT-(LVD)
lower than the V
reference value for a voltage drop is
IT+(LVD)
reference value for poweron in order to avoid a parasitic reset when the
MCU starts running and sinks current on the supply (hysteresis).
The LVD Reset circuitry generates a reset when
is below:
V

–V
–V
IT+(LVD)
IT-(LVD)
when VDD is rising
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.
