The W78L52 microcontroller supplies a wider frequency and supply voltage range than most 8-bit
microcontrollers on the market. It is compatible with the industry standard 80C52 microcontroller
series. The W78L52 contains four 8-bit bidirectional parallel ports, one extra 4-bit bit-addressable I/O
port (Port 4) and two additional external interrupts (
watchdog timer and a serial port. These peripherals are supported by a eight-source, two-level
interrupt capability. There are 256 bytes of RAM and an 8K byte mask ROM for application
programs.
The W78L52 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.
Port 0, Bits 0 through 7. Port 0 is a bidirectional I/O port. This port also provides a multiplexed low
order address/data bus during accesses to external memory.
P1.0−P1.7
Port 1, Bits 0 through 7. Port 1 is a bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups. Pins P1.0 and P1.1

P2.0−P2.7
Port 2, Bits 0 through 7. Port 2 is a bidirectional I/O port with internal pull-ups. This port also provides
the upper address bits for accesses to external memory.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The W78L52 architecture consists of a core controller surrounded by various registers, five general
purpose I/O ports, 256 bytes of RAM, three timer/counters, one watchdog timer and a serial port. The
processor supports 111 different opcodes and references both a 64K program address space and a
64 K 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, 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 W78L51. Timer 2 is a special feature of the W78L52: 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, auto-reload, and baud rate
generator. The clock speed at capture or auto-reload mode is the same as that of Timers 0 and 1.
Clock
The W78L52 is designed to be used with either a crystal oscillator or an external clock. Internally, the
clock is divided by two before it is used. This makes the W78L52 relatively insensitive to duty cycle
variations in the clock.
Crystal Oscillator
The W78L52 incorporates a built-in crystal oscillator. To make the oscillator work, a crystal must be
connected across pins XTAL1 and XTAL2. In addition, a load capacitor must be connected from each
pin to ground, and a resistor must also be connected from XTAL1 to XTAL2 to provide a DC bias
when the crystal frequency is above 24 MHz.
External Clock
An external clock should be connected to pin XTAL1. Pin XTAL2 should be left unconnected. The
XTAL1 input is a CMOS-type input, as required by the crystal oscillator. As a result, the external clock
signal should have an input one level of greater than 3.5 volts when VDD = 5 volts.
Power Management
Idle Mode
The idle mode is entered by setting the IDL bit in the PCON register. In the idle mode, the internal
clock to the processor is stopped. The peripherals and the interrupt logic continue to be clocked. The
processor will exit idle mode when either an interrupt or a reset occurs.
Power-down Mode
When the PD bit of the PCON register is set, the processor enters the power-down mode. In this
mode all of the clocks, including the oscillator are stopped. The only way to exit power-down mode is
by a reset.
Reset
The external RESET signal is sampled at S5P2. To take effect, it must be held high for at least two
machine cycles while the oscillator is running. An internal trigger circuit in the reset line is used to
deglitch the reset line when the W78L52 is used with an external RC network. The reset logic also has

a special glitch removal circuit that ignores glitches on the reset line. During reset, the ports are
initialized to FFH, the stack pointer to 07H, PCON (with the exception of bit 4) to 00H, and all of the
other SFR registers except SBUF to 00H. SBUF is not reset.
New Defined Peripheral
In order to be more suitable for I/O, an extra 4-bit bit-addressable port P4 and two external interrupts
, INT3 have been added to either the PLCC or QFP 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
