The W78E52B is an 8-bit microcontroller which can accommodate a wider frequency range with low
power consumption. The instruction set for the W78E52B is fully compatible with the standard 8051.
The W78E52B contains an 8K bytes MTP ROM (Multiple-Time Programmable ROM); a 256 bytes
RAM; four 8-bit bi-directional and bit-addressable I/O ports; an additional 4-bit I/O port P4; three 16bit timer/counters; a hardware watchdog timer and a serial port. These peripherals are supported by
eight sources two-level interrupt capability. To facilitate programming and verification, the MTP-ROM
inside the W78E52B allows the program memory to be programmed and read electronically. Once
the code is confirmed, the user can protect the code for security.
The W78E52B microcontroller has two power reduction modes, idle mode and power-down mode,
both of which are software selectable. The idle mode turns off the processor clock but allows for
continued peripheral operation. The power-down mode stops the crystal oscillator for minimum power
consumption. The external clock can be stopped at any time and in any state without affecting the
processor.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The W78E52B architecture consists of a core controller surrounded by various registers, five general
purpose I/O ports, 256 bytes of RAM, three timer/counters, and a serial port. The processor supports
111 different opcodes and references both a 64K program address space and a 64K data storage
space.
Timers 0, 1, and 2
Timers 0, 1, and 2 each consist of two 8-bit data registers. These are called TL0 and TH0 for Timer 0,
TL1 and TH1 for Timer 1, and TL2 and TH2 for Timer 2. The TCON and TMOD registers provide
control functions for timers 0 and 1. The T2CON register provides control functions for Timer 2.
RCAP2H and RCAP2L are used as reload/capture registers for Timer 2.

The operations of Timer 0 and Timer 1 are the same as in the W78C51. Timer 2 is a special feature
of the W78E54B: it is a 16-bit timer/counter that is configured and controlled by the T2CON register.
Like Timers 0 and 1, Timer 2 can operate as either an external event counter or as an internal timer,
depending on the setting of bit C/T2 in T2CON. Timer 2 has three operating modes: capture, autoreload, and baud rate generator. The clock speed at capture or auto-reload mode is the same as that
of Timers 0 and 1.
New Defined Peripheral
In order to be more suitable for I/O, an extra 4-bit bit-addressable port P4 and two external interrupt
, INT3 has been added to either the PLCC or QFP 44 pin package. And description follows:
1.
Two additional external interrupts,
interrupt 0 and 1 in the standard 80C52. The functions/status of these interrupts are
determined/shown by the bits in the XICON (External Interrupt Control) register. The XICON register
is bit-addressable but is not a standard register in the standard 80C52. Its address is at 0C0H. To
set/clear bits in the XICON register, one can use the "SETB (/CLR) bit" instruction. For example,
"SETB 0C2H" sets the EX2 bit of XICON.
XICON - external interrupt control (C0H)
PX3: External interrupt 3 priority high if set
EX3: External interrupt 3 enable if set
IE3: If IT3 = 1, IE3 is set/cleared automatically by hardware when interrupt is detected/serviced
IT3: External interrupt 3 is falling-edge/low-level triggered when this bit is set/cleared by software
PX2: External interrupt 2 priority high if set
EX2: External interrupt 2 enable if set
IE2: If IT2 = 1, IE2 is set/cleared automatically by hardware when interrupt is detected/serviced
IT2: External interrupt 2 is falling-edge/low-level triggered when this bit is set/cleared by software
and INT3 , whose functions are similar to those of external

2. PORT4
Another bit-addressable port P4 is also available and only 4 bits (P4<3:0>) can be used. This port
address is located at 0D8H with the same function as that of port P1, except the P4.3 and P4.2 are
alternative function pins. It can be used as general I/O pins or external interrupt input sources (
INT3 ).
Example:
P4REG0D8H
MOVP4, #0AH ; Output data "A" through P4.0−P4.3.
MOVA, P4; Read P4 status to Accumulator.
SETBP4.0; Set bit P4.0
CLRP4.1; Clear bit P4.1
3. Reduce EMI Emission
Because of on-chip MTP-ROM, when a program is running in internal ROM space, the ALE will be
unused. The transition of ALE will cause noise, so it can be turned off to reduce the EMI emission if it
is useless. Turning off the ALE signal transition only requires setting the bit 0 of the AUXR SFR,
which is located at 08Eh. When ALE is turned off, it will be reactivated when the program accesses
external ROM/RAM data or jumps to execute an external ROM code. The ALE signal will turn off
again after it has been completely accessed or the program returns to internal ROM code space. The
AO bit in the AUXR register, when set, disables the ALE output. In order to reduce EMI emission from
oscillation circuitry, W78E52B allows user to diminish the gain of on-chip oscillator amplifiers by using
programmer to clear the B7 bit of security register. Once B7 is set to 0, a half of gain will be
decreased. Care must be taken if user attempts to diminish the gain of oscillator amplifier, reducing a
half of gain may affect the external crystal operating improperly at high frequency above 24MHz. The
value of R and C1,C2 may need some adjustment while running at lower gain.

4. Power-off Flag

POF: Power off flag. Bit is set by hardware when power on reset. It can be cleared by software
to determine chip reset is a warm boot or cold boot.
GF1, GF0: These two bits are general-purpose flag bits for the user.
PD: Power down mode bit. Set it to enter power down mode.
IDL: Idle mode bit. Set it to enter idle mode.

The power-off flag is located at PCON.4. This bit is set when VDD has been applied to the part. It can
be used to determine if a reset is a warm boot or a cold boot if it is subsequently reset by software.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog timer is a free-running timer which can be programmed by the user to serve as a
system monitor, a time-base generator or an event timer. It is basically a set of dividers that divide
the system clock. The divider output is selectable and determines the time-out interval. When the
time-out occurs a system reset can also be caused if it is enabled. The main use of the Watchdog
timer is as a system monitor. This is important in real-time control applications. In case of power
glitches or electro-magnetic interference, the processor may begin to execute errant code. If this is
left unchecked the entire system may crash. The watchdog time-out selection will result in different
time-out values depending on the clock speed. The Watchdog timer will de disabled on reset. In
general, software should restart the Watchdog timer to put it into a known state. The control bits that
support the Watchdog timer are discussed below.
