1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The C8051F020/1/2/3 devices are fully integrated mixed-signal System-on-a-Chip MCUs with 64 digital I/O pins
(C8051F020/2) or 32 digital I/O pins (C8051F021/3). Highlighted features are listed below; refer to Table 1.1 for
specific product feature selection.
High-Speed pipelined 8051-compatible CIP-51 microcontroller core (up to 25 MIPS)
In-system, full-speed, non-intrusive debug interface (on-chip)
True 12-bit (C8051F020/1) or 10-bit (C8051F022/3) 100 ksps 8-channel ADC with PGA and analog multiplexer
True 8-bit ADC 500 ksps 8-channel ADC with PGA and analog multiplexer
Two 12-bit DACs with programmable update scheduling
64k bytes of in-system programmable FLASH memory
4352 (4096 + 256) bytes of on-chip RAM
External Data Memory Interface with 64k byte address space
SPI, SMBus/I
2
C, and (2) UART serial interfaces implemented in hardware
Five general purpose 16-bit Timers
Programmable Counter/Timer Array with five capture/compare modules
On-chip Watchdog Timer, VDD Monitor, and Temperature Sensor
With on-chip VDD monitor, Watchdog Timer, and clock oscillator, the C8051F020/1/2/3 devices are truly stand-
alone System-on-a-Chip solutions. All analog and digital peripherals are enabled/disabled and configured by user
firmware. The FLASH memory can be reprogrammed even in-circuit, providing non-volatile data storage, and also
allowing field upgrades of the 8051 firmware.
On-board JTAG debug circuitry allows non-intrusive (uses no on-chip resources), full speed, in-circuit debugging
using the production MCU installed in the final application. This debug system supports inspection and modification
of memory and registers, setting breakpoints, watchpoints, single stepping, run and halt commands. All analog and
digital peripherals are fully functional while debugging using JTAG.
Each MCU is specified for 2.7 V-to-3.6 V operation over the industrial temperature range (-45 C to +85 C). The
Port I/Os, /RST, and JTAG pins are tolerant for input signals up to 5 V. The C8051F020/2 are available in a 100-pin
TQFP package (see block diagrams in Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.3). The C8051F021/3 are available in a 64-pin TQFP
package (see block diagrams in Figure 1.2 and Figure 1.4).

1.1. CIP-51 Microcontroller Core
1.1.1. Fully 8051 Compatible
The C8051F020 family utilizes Silicon Labs' proprietary CIP-51 microcontroller core. The CIP-51 is fully compati-
ble with the MCS-51 instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop soft-
ware. The core has all the peripherals included with a standard 8052, including five 16-bit counter/timers, two full-
duplex UARTs, 256 bytes of internal RAM, 128 byte Special Function Register (SFR) address space, and 8/4 byte-
wide I/O Ports.
1.1.2. Improved Throughput
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the standard 8051
architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system clock cycles to exe-
cute with a maximum system clock of 12-to-24 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51 core executes 70% of its instructions in
one or two system clock cycles, with only four instructions taking more than four system clock cycles.
The CIP-51 has a total of 109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instructions that require each
execution time.
With the CIP-51's maximum system clock at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS. Figure 1.5 shows a com-
parison of peak throughputs of various 8-bit microcontroller cores with their maximum system clocks.

1.1.3. Additional Features
The C8051F020 MCU family includes several key enhancements to the CIP-51 core and peripherals to improve over-
all performance and ease of use in end applications.
The extended interrupt handler provides 22 interrupt sources into the CIP-51 (as opposed to 7 for the standard 8051),
allowing the numerous analog and digital peripherals to interrupt the controller. An interrupt driven system requires
less intervention by the MCU, giving it more effective throughput. The extra interrupt sources are very useful when
building multi-tasking, real-time systems.
There are up to seven reset sources for the MCU: an on-board VDD monitor, a Watchdog Timer, a missing clock
detector, a voltage level detection from Comparator0, a forced software reset, the CNVSTR input pin, and the /RST
pin. The /RST pin is bi-directional, accommodating an external reset, or allowing the internally generated POR to be
output on the /RST pin. Each reset source except for the VDD monitor and Reset Input pin may be disabled by the
user in software; the VDD monitor is enabled/disabled via the MONEN pin. The Watchdog Timer may be perma-
nently enabled in software after a power-on reset during MCU initialization.
The MCU has an internal, stand alone clock generator which is used by default as the system clock after any reset. If
desired, the clock source may be switched on the fly to the external oscillator, which can use a crystal, ceramic reso-
nator, capacitor, RC, or external clock source to generate the system clock. This can be extremely useful in low power
applications, allowing the MCU to run from a slow (power saving) external crystal source, while periodically switch-
ing to the fast (up to 16 MHz) internal oscillator as needed.

1.2. On-Chip Memory
The CIP-51 has a standard 8051 program and data address configuration. It includes 256 bytes of data RAM, with the
upper 128 bytes dual-mapped. Indirect addressing accesses the upper 128 bytes of general purpose RAM, and direct
addressing accesses the 128 byte SFR address space. The lower 128 bytes of RAM are accessible via direct and indi-
rect addressing. The first 32 bytes are addressable as four banks of general purpose registers, and the next 16 bytes
can be byte addressable or bit addressable.
The CIP-51 in the C8051F020/1/2/3 MCUs additionally has an on-chip 4k byte RAM block and an external memory
interface (EMIF) for accessing off-chip data memory. The on-chip 4k byte block can be addressed over the entire 64k
external data memory address range (overlapping 4k boundaries). External data memory address space can be
mapped to on-chip memory only, off-chip memory only, or a combination of the two (addresses up to 4k directed to
on-chip, above 4k directed to EMIF). The EMIF is also configurable for multiplexed or non-multiplexed address/data
lines.
The MCUs program memory consists of 64k bytes of FLASH. This memory may be reprogrammed in-system in
512 byte sectors, and requires no special off-chip programming voltage. The 512 bytes from addresses 0xFE00 to
0xFFFF are reserved for factory use. There is also a single 128 byte sector at address 0x10000 to 0x1007F, which
may be useful as a small table for software constants. See Figure 1.7 for the MCU system memory map.

1.3. JTAG Debug and Boundary Scan
The C8051F020 family has on-chip JTAG boundary scan and debug circuitry that provides non-intrusive, full speed,
in-circuit debugging using the production part installed in the end application, via the four-pin JTAG interface. The
JTAG port is fully compliant to IEEE 1149.1, providing full boundary scan for test and manufacturing purposes.
Silicon Labs' debugging system supports inspection and modification of memory and registers, breakpoints, watch-
points, a stack monitor, and single stepping. No additional target RAM, program memory, timers, or communications
channels are required. All the digital and analog peripherals are functional and work correctly while debugging. All
the peripherals (except for the ADC and SMBus) are stalled when the MCU is halted, during single stepping, or at a
breakpoint in order to keep them synchronized.
The C8051F020DK development kit provides all the hardware and software necessary to develop application code
and perform in-circuit debugging with the C8051F020/1/2/3 MCUs. The kit includes software with a developer's stu-
dio and debugger, an integrated 8051 assembler, and an RS-232 to JTAG serial adapter. It also has a target application
board with the associated MCU installed, plus the RS-232 and JTAG cables, and wall-mount power supply. The
Development Kit requires a Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000 computer with one available RS-232 serial port. As shown
in Figure 1.8, the PC is connected via RS-232 to the Serial Adapter. A six-inch ribbon cable connects the Serial
Adapter to the user's application board, picking up the four JTAG pins and VDD and GND. The Serial Adapter takes
its power from the application board; it requires roughly 20 mA at 2.7-3.6 V. For applications where there is not suf-
ficient power available from the target system, the provided power supply can be connected directly to the Serial
Adapter.
Silicon Labs debug environment is a vastly superior configuration for developing and debugging embedded applica-
tions compared to standard MCU emulators, which use on-board "ICE Chips" and target cables and require the MCU
in the application board to be socketed. Silicon Labs' debug environment both increases ease of use and preserves the
performance of the precision analog peripherals.

1.4. Programmable Digital I/O and Crossbar
The standard 8051 Ports (0, 1, 2, and 3) are available on the MCUs. The C8051F020/2 have 4 additional ports (4, 5,
6, and 7) for a total of 64 general-purpose port I/O. The Port I/O behave like the standard 8051 with a few enhance-
ments.
Each Port I/O pin can be configured as either a push-pull or open-drain output. Also, the "weak pull-ups" which are
normally fixed on an 8051 can be globally disabled, providing additional power saving capabilities for low-power
applications.
Perhaps the most unique enhancement is the Digital Crossbar. This is essentially a large digital switching network
that allows mapping of internal digital system resources to Port I/O pins on P0, P1, P2, and P3. (See Figure 1.9)
Unlike microcontrollers with standard multiplexed digital I/O, all combinations of functions are supported.
The on-chip counter/timers, serial buses, HW interrupts, ADC Start of Conversion input, comparator outputs, and
other digital signals in the controller can be configured to appear on the Port I/O pins specified in the Crossbar Con-
trol registers. This allows the user to select the exact mix of general purpose Port I/O and digital resources needed for
the particular application.

1.5. Programmable Counter Array
The C8051F020 MCU family includes an on-board Programmable Counter/Timer Array (PCA) in addition to the five
16-bit general purpose counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer time base with 5 pro-
grammable capture/compare modules. The timebase is clocked from one of six sources: the system clock divided by
12, the system clock divided by 4, Timer 0 overflow, an External Clock Input (ECI pin), the system clock, or the
external oscillator source divided by 8.
Each capture/compare module can be configured to operate in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software
Timer, High Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator, or 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator. The
PCA Capture/Compare Module I/O and External Clock Input are routed to the MCU Port I/O via the Digital Cross-
bar.
1.6. Serial Ports
The C8051F020 MCU Family includes two Enhanced Full-Duplex UARTs, SPI Bus, and SMBus/I
2
C. Each of the
serial buses is fully implemented in hardware and makes extensive use of the CIP-51's interrupts, thus requiring very
little intervention by the CPU. The serial buses do not "share" resources such as timers, interrupts, or Port I/O, so any
or all of the serial buses may be used together with any other.

1.7. 12-Bit Analog to Digital Converter
The C8051F020/1 has an on-chip 12-bit SAR ADC (ADC0) with a 9-channel input multiplexer and programmable
gain amplifier. With a maximum throughput of 100 ksps, the ADC offers true 12-bit accuracy with an INL of 1LSB.
C8051F022/3 devices include a 10-bit SAR ADC with similar specifications and configuration options. The ADC0
voltage reference is selected between the DAC0 output and an external VREF pin. On C8051F020/2 devices, ADC0
has its own dedicated VREF0 input pin; on C8051F021/3 devices, the ADC0 shares the VREFA input pin with the 8-
bit ADC1. The on-chip 15 ppm/C voltage reference may generate the voltage reference for other system components
or the on-chip ADCs via the VREF output pin.
The ADC is under full control of the CIP-51 microcontroller via its associated Special Function Registers. One input
channel is tied to an internal temperature sensor, while the other eight channels are available externally. Each pair of
the eight external input channels can be configured as either two single-ended inputs or a single differential input.
The system controller can also put the ADC into shutdown mode to save power.
A programmable gain amplifier follows the analog multiplexer. The gain can be set in software from 0.5 to 16 in
powers of 2. The gain stage can be especially useful when different ADC input channels have widely varied input
voltage signals, or when it is necessary to "zoom in" on a signal with a large DC offset (in differential mode, a DAC
could be used to provide the DC offset).
Conversions can be started in four ways; a software command, an overflow of Timer 2, an overflow of Timer 3, or an
external signal input. This flexibility allows the start of conversion to be triggered by software events, external HW
signals, or a periodic timer overflow signal. Conversion completions are indicated by a status bit and an interrupt (if
enabled). The resulting 10 or 12-bit data word is latched into two SFRs upon completion of a conversion. The data
can be right or left justified in these registers under software control.
Window Compare registers for the ADC data can be configured to interrupt the controller when ADC data is within
or outside of a specified range. The ADC can monitor a key voltage continuously in background mode, but not inter-
rupt the controller unless the converted data is within the specified window.

1.8. 8-Bit Analog to Digital Converter
The C8051F020/1/2/3 has an on-board 8-bit SAR ADC (ADC1) with an 8-channel input multiplexer and programma-
ble gain amplifier. This ADC features a 500 ksps maximum throughput and true 8-bit accuracy with an INL of
1LSB. Eight input pins are available for measurement. The ADC is under full control of the CIP-51 microcontroller
via the Special Function Registers. The ADC1 voltage reference is selected between the analog power supply (AV+)
and an external VREF pin. On C8051F020/2 devices, ADC1 has its own dedicated VREF1 input pin; on
C8051F021/3 devices, ADC1 shares the VREFA input pin with the 12/10-bit ADC0. User software may put ADC1
into shutdown mode to save power.
A programmable gain amplifier follows the analog multiplexer. The gain stage can be especially useful when differ-
ent ADC input channels have widely varied input voltage signals, or when it is necessary to "zoom in" on a signal
with a large DC offset (in differential mode, a DAC could be used to provide the DC offset). The PGA gain can be set
in software to 0.5, 1, 2, or 4.
A flexible conversion scheduling system allows ADC1 conversions to be initiated by software commands, timer
overflows, or an external input signal. ADC1 conversions may also be synchronized with ADC0 software-com-
manded conversions. Conversion completions are indicated by a status bit and an interrupt (if enabled), and the
resulting 8-bit data word is latched into an SFR upon completion.

1.9. Comparators and DACs
Each C8051F020/1/2/3 MCU has two 12-bit DACs and two comparators on chip. The MCU data and control inter-
face to each comparator and DAC is via the Special Function Registers. The MCU can place any DAC or comparator
in low power shutdown mode.
The comparators have software programmable hysteresis. Each comparator can generate an interrupt on its rising
edge, falling edge, or both; these interrupts are capable of waking up the MCU from sleep mode. The comparators'
output state can also be polled in software. The comparator outputs can be programmed to appear on the Port I/O pins
via the Crossbar.
The DACs are voltage output mode, and include a flexible output scheduling mechanism. This scheduling mecha-
nism allows DAC output updates to be forced by a software write or a Timer 2, 3, or 4 overflow. The DAC voltage
reference is supplied via the dedicated VREFD input pin on C8051F020/2 devices or via the internal voltage refer-
ence on C8051F021/3 devices. The DACs are especially useful as references for the comparators or offsets for the
differential inputs of the ADC.

5. ADC0 (12-BIT ADC, C8051F020/1 ONLY)
The ADC0 subsystem for the C8051F020/1 consists of a 9-channel, configurable analog multiplexer (AMUX0), a
programmable gain amplifier (PGA0), and a 100 ksps, 12-bit successive-approximation-register ADC with integrated
track-and-hold and Programmable Window Detector (see block diagram in Figure 5.1). The AMUX0, PGA0, Data
Conversion Modes, and Window Detector are all configurable under software control via the Special Function Regis-
ters shown in Figure 5.1. The voltage reference used by ADC0 is selected as described in Section 9. VOLTAGE
REFERENCE (C8051F020/2) on page 91 for C8051F020/2 devices, or Section 10. VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(C8051F021/3) on page 93 for C8051F021/3 devices. The ADC0 subsystem (ADC0, track-and-hold and PGA0) is
enabled only when the AD0EN bit in the ADC0 Control register (ADC0CN) is set to logic 1. The ADC0 subsystem is
in low power shutdown when this bit is logic 0.
5.1. Analog Multiplexer and PGA
Eight of the AMUX channels are available for external measurements while the ninth channel is internally connected
to an on-chip temperature sensor (temperature transfer function is shown in Figure 5.2). AMUX input pairs can be
programmed to operate in either differential or single-ended mode. This allows the user to select the best measure-
ment technique for each input channel, and even accommodates mode changes "on-the-fly". The AMUX defaults to
all single-ended inputs upon reset. There are two registers associated with the AMUX: the Channel Selection register
AMX0SL (Figure 5.6), and the Configuration register AMX0CF (Figure 5.7). The table in Figure 5.6 shows AMUX
functionality by channel, for each possible configuration. The PGA amplifies the AMUX output signal by an amount
determined by the states of the AMP0GN2-0 bits in the ADC0 Configuration register, ADC0CF (Figure 5.7). The
PGA can be software-programmed for gains of 0.5, 2, 4, 8 or 16. Gain defaults to unity on reset.

The Temperature Sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 5.2. The output voltage (V
TEMP
) is the PGA input when
the Temperature Sensor is selected by bits AMX0AD3-0 in register AMX0SL; this voltage will be amplified by the
PGA according to the user-programmed PGA settings.
5.2. ADC Modes of Operation
ADC0 has a maximum conversion speed of 100 ksps. The ADC0 conversion clock is derived from the system clock
divided by the value held in the ADCSC bits of register ADC0CF.
5.2.1. Starting a Conversion
A conversion can be initiated in one of four ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC0 Start of Conver-
sion Mode bits (AD0CM1, AD0CM0) in ADC0CN. Conversions may be initiated by:
1. Writing a 1 to the AD0BUSY bit of ADC0CN;
2. A Timer 3 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions);
3. A rising edge detected on the external ADC convert start signal, CNVSTR;
4. A Timer 2 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions).
The AD0BUSY bit is set to logic 1 during conversion and restored to logic 0 when conversion is complete. The fall-
ing edge of AD0BUSY triggers an interrupt (when enabled) and sets the AD0INT interrupt flag (ADC0CN.5). Con-
verted data is available in the ADC0 data word MSB and LSB registers, ADC0H, ADC0L. Converted data can be
either left or right justified in the ADC0H:ADC0L register pair (see example in Figure 5.11) depending on the pro-
grammed state of the AD0LJST bit in the ADC0CN register.
When initiating conversions by writing a 1 to AD0BUSY, the AD0INT bit should be polled to determine when a
conversion has completed (ADC0 interrupts may also be used). The recommended polling procedure is shown below.
Step 1. Write a 0 to AD0INT;
Step 2. Write a 1 to AD0BUSY;
Step 3. Poll AD0INT for 1;
Step 4. Process ADC0 data.

5.2.2. Tracking Modes
The AD0TM bit in register ADC0CN controls the ADC0 track-and-hold mode. In its default state, the ADC0 input is
continuously tracked when a conversion is not in progress. When the AD0TM bit is logic 1, ADC0 operates in low-
power track-and-hold mode. In this mode, each conversion is preceded by a tracking period of 3 SAR clocks (after
the start-of-conversion signal). When the CNVSTR signal is used to initiate conversions in low-power tracking mode,
ADC0 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins on the rising edge of CNVSTR (see Figure 5.3). Track-
ing can also be disabled (shutdown) when the entire chip is in low power standby or sleep modes. Low-power track-
and-hold mode is also useful when AMUX or PGA settings are frequently changed, to ensure that settling time
requirements are met (see Section 5.2.3. Settling Time Requirements on page 46).

5.2.3. Settling Time Requirements
When the ADC0 input configuration is changed (i.e., a different MUX or PGA selection is made), a minimum settling
(or tracking) time is required before an accurate conversion can be performed. This settling time is determined by the
ADC0 MUX resistance, the ADC0 sampling capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required
for the conversion. Figure 5.4 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuits for both Differential and Single-ended
modes. Notice that the equivalent time constant for both input circuits is the same. The required settling time for a
given settling accuracy (SA) may be approximated by Equation 5.1. When measuring the Temperature Sensor output,
R
TOTAL
reduces to R
MUX
. Note that in low-power tracking mode, three SAR clocks are used for tracking at the start of
every conversion. For most applications, these three SAR clocks will meet the tracking requirements. See Table 5.1
on page 58 for absolute minimum settling/tracking time requirements.
Where:
SA is the settling accuracy, given as a fraction of an LSB (for example, 0.25 to settle within 1/4 LSB)
t is the required settling time in seconds
R
TOTAL
is the sum of the ADC0 MUX resistance and any external source resistance.
n is the ADC resolution in bits (12).

5.3. ADC0 Programmable Window Detector
The ADC0 Programmable Window Detector continuously compares the ADC0 output to user-programmed limits,
and notifies the system when an out-of-bound condition is detected. This is especially effective in an interrupt-driven
system, saving code space and CPU bandwidth while delivering faster system response times. The window detector
interrupt flag (AD0WINT in ADC0CN) can also be used in polled mode. The high and low bytes of the reference
words are loaded into the ADC0 Greater-Than and ADC0 Less-Than registers (ADC0GTH, ADC0GTL, ADC0LTH,
and ADC0LTL). Reference comparisons are shown starting on page 54. Notice that the window detector flag can be
asserted when the measured data is inside or outside the user-programmed limits, depending on the programming of
the ADC0GTx and ADC0LTx registers.

6. ADC0 (10-BIT ADC, C8051F022/3 ONLY)
The ADC0 subsystem for the C8051F022/3 consists of a 9-channel, configurable analog multiplexer (AMUX0), a
programmable gain amplifier (PGA0), and a 100 ksps, 10-bit successive-approximation-register ADC with integrated
track-and-hold and Programmable Window Detector (see block diagram in Figure 6.1). The AMUX0, PGA0, Data
Conversion Modes, and Window Detector are all configurable under software control via the Special Function Regis-
ters shown in Figure 6.1. The voltage reference used by ADC0 is selected as described in Section 9. VOLTAGE
REFERENCE (C8051F020/2) on page 91 for C8051F020/2 devices, or Section 10. VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(C8051F021/3) on page 93 for C8051F021/3 devices. The ADC0 subsystem (ADC0, track-and-hold and PGA0) is
enabled only when the AD0EN bit in the ADC0 Control register (ADC0CN) is set to logic 1. The ADC0 subsystem is
in low power shutdown when this bit is logic 0.
6.1. Analog Multiplexer and PGA
Eight of the AMUX channels are available for external measurements while the ninth channel is internally connected
to an on-chip temperature sensor (temperature transfer function is shown in Figure 6.2). AMUX input pairs can be
programmed to operate in either differential or single-ended mode. This allows the user to select the best measure-
ment technique for each input channel, and even accommodates mode changes "on-the-fly". The AMUX defaults to
all single-ended inputs upon reset. There are two registers associated with the AMUX: the Channel Selection register
AMX0SL (Figure 6.6), and the Configuration register AMX0CF (Figure 6.7). The table in Figure 6.6 shows AMUX
functionality by channel, for each possible configuration. The PGA amplifies the AMUX output signal by an amount
determined by the states of the AMP0GN2-0 bits in the ADC0 Configuration register, ADC0CF (Figure 6.7). The
PGA can be software-programmed for gains of 0.5, 2, 4, 8 or 16. Gain defaults to unity on reset.

C8051F022/3
60 Rev. 1.4
The Temperature Sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 6.2. The output voltage (V
TEMP
) is the PGA input when
the Temperature Sensor is selected by bits AMX0AD3-0 in register AMX0SL; this voltage will be amplified by the
PGA according to the user-programmed PGA settings.
6.2. ADC Modes of Operation
ADC0 has a maximum conversion speed of 100 ksps. The ADC0 conversion clock is derived from the system clock
divided by the value held in the ADCSC bits of register ADC0CF.
6.2.1. Starting a Conversion
A conversion can be initiated in one of four ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC0 Start of Conver-
sion Mode bits (AD0CM1, AD0CM0) in ADC0CN. Conversions may be initiated by:
1. Writing a 1 to the AD0BUSY bit of ADC0CN;
2. A Timer 3 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions);
3. A rising edge detected on the external ADC convert start signal, CNVSTR;
4. A Timer 2 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions).
The AD0BUSY bit is set to logic 1 during conversion and restored to logic 0 when conversion is complete. The fall-
ing edge of AD0BUSY triggers an interrupt (when enabled) and sets the AD0INT interrupt flag (ADC0CN.5). Con-
verted data is available in the ADC0 data word MSB and LSB registers, ADC0H, ADC0L. Converted data can be
either left or right justified in the ADC0H:ADC0L register pair (see example in Figure 6.11) depending on the pro-
grammed state of the AD0LJST bit in the ADC0CN register.
When initiating conversions by writing a 1 to AD0BUSY, the AD0INT bit should be polled to determine when a
conversion has completed (ADC0 interrupts may also be used). The recommended polling procedure is shown below.
Step 1. Write a 0 to AD0INT;
Step 2. Write a 1 to AD0BUSY;
Step 3. Poll AD0INT for 1;
Step 4. Process ADC0 data.

6.2.2. Tracking Modes
The AD0TM bit in register ADC0CN controls the ADC0 track-and-hold mode. In its default state, the ADC0 input is
continuously tracked when a conversion is not in progress. When the AD0TM bit is logic 1, ADC0 operates in low-
power track-and-hold mode. In this mode, each conversion is preceded by a tracking period of 3 SAR clocks (after
the start-of-conversion signal). When the CNVSTR signal is used to initiate conversions in low-power tracking mode,
ADC0 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins on the rising edge of CNVSTR (see Figure 6.3). Track-
ing can also be disabled (shutdown) when the entire chip is in low power standby or sleep modes. Low-power track-
and-hold mode is also useful when AMUX or PGA settings are frequently changed, to ensure that settling time
requirements are met (see Section 6.2.3. Settling Time Requirements on page 62).

6.2.3. Settling Time Requirements
When the ADC0 input configuration is changed (i.e., a different MUX or PGA selection is made), a minimum settling
(or tracking) time is required before an accurate conversion can be performed. This settling time is determined by the
ADC0 MUX resistance, the ADC0 sampling capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required
for the conversion. Figure 6.4 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuits for both Differential and Single-ended
modes. Notice that the equivalent time constant for both input circuits is the same. The required settling time for a
given settling accuracy (SA) may be approximated by Equation 6.1. When measuring the Temperature Sensor output,
R
TOTAL
reduces to R
MUX
. Note that in low-power tracking mode, three SAR clocks are used for tracking at the start of
every conversion. For most applications, these three SAR clocks will meet the settling time requirements. See
Table 6.1 on page 74 for minimum settling/tracking time requirements.
Where:
SA is the settling accuracy, given as a fraction of an LSB (for example, 0.25 to settle within 1/4 LSB)
t is the required settling time in seconds
R
TOTAL
is the sum of the ADC0 MUX resistance and any external source resistance.
n is the ADC resolution in bits (10).

6.3. ADC0 Programmable Window Detector
The ADC0 Programmable Window Detector continuously compares the ADC0 output to user-programmed limits,
and notifies the system when an out-of-bound condition is detected. This is especially effective in an interrupt-driven
system, saving code space and CPU bandwidth while delivering faster system response times. The window detector
interrupt flag (AD0WINT in ADC0CN) can also be used in polled mode. The high and low bytes of the reference
words are loaded into the ADC0 Greater-Than and ADC0 Less-Than registers (ADC0GTH, ADC0GTL, ADC0LTH,
and ADC0LTL). Reference comparisons are shown starting on page 70. Notice that the window detector flag can be
asserted when the measured data is inside or outside the user-programmed limits, depending on the programming of
the ADC0GTx and ADC0LTx registers.

7. ADC1 (8-BIT ADC)
The ADC1 subsystem for the C8051F020/1/2/3 consists of an 8-channel, configurable analog multiplexer (AMUX1),
a programmable gain amplifier (PGA1), and a 500 ksps, 8-bit successive-approximation-register ADC with inte-
grated track-and-hold (see block diagram in Figure 7.1). The AMUX1, PGA1, and Data Conversion Modes, are all
configurable under software control via the Special Function Registers shown in Figure 7.1. The ADC1 subsystem
(8-bit ADC, track-and-hold and PGA) is enabled only when the AD1EN bit in the ADC1 Control register (ADC1CN)
is set to logic 1. The ADC1 subsystem is in low power shutdown when this bit is logic 0. The voltage reference used
by ADC1 is selected as described in Section 9. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (C8051F020/2) on page 91 for
C8051F020/2 devices, or Section 10. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (C8051F021/3) on page 93 for C8051F021/3
devices.
7.1. Analog Multiplexer and PGA
Eight ADC1 channels are available for measurement, as selected by the AMX1SL register (see Figure 7.5). The PGA
amplifies the ADC1 output signal by an amount determined by the states of the AMP1GN2-0 bits in the ADC1 Con-
figuration register, ADC1CF (Figure 7.4). The PGA can be software-programmed for gains of 0.5, 1, 2, or 4. Gain
defaults to 0.5 on reset.
Important Note: AIN1 pins also function as Port 1 I/O pins, and must be configured as analog inputs when used as
ADC1 inputs. To configure an AIN1 pin for analog input, set to 0 the corresponding bit in register P1MDIN. Port 1
pins selected as analog inputs are skipped by the Digital I/O Crossbar. See Section 17.1.6. Configuring Port 1 Pins
as Analog Inputs (AIN1.[7:0]) on page 165 for more information on configuring the AIN1 pins.

7.2. ADC1 Modes of Operation
ADC1 has a maximum conversion speed of 500 ksps. The ADC1 conversion clock (SAR1 clock) is a divided version
of the system clock, determined by the AD1SC bits in the ADC1CF register (system clock divided by (AD1SC + 1)
for 0 s AD1SC s 31). The maximum ADC1 conversion clock is 6 MHz.
7.2.1. Starting a Conversion
A conversion can be initiated in one of five ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC1 Start of Conver-
sion Mode bits (AD1CM2-0) in register ADC1CN. Conversions may be initiated by:
1. Writing a 1 to the AD1BUSY bit of ADC1CN;
2. A Timer 3 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions);
3. A rising edge detected on the external ADC convert start signal, CNVSTR;
4. A Timer 2 overflow (i.e. timed continuous conversions);
5. Writing a 1 to the AD0BUSY of register ADC0CN (initiate conversion of ADC1 and ADC0 with a
single software command).
During conversion, the AD1BUSY bit is set to logic 1 and restored to 0 when conversion is complete. The falling
edge of AD1BUSY triggers an interrupt (when enabled) and sets the interrupt flag in ADC1CN. Converted data is
available in the ADC1 data word, ADC1.
When a conversion is initiated by writing a 1 to AD1BUSY, it is recommended to poll AD1INT to determine when
the conversion is complete. The recommended procedure is:
Step 1. Write a 0 to AD1INT;
Step 2. Write a 1 to AD1BUSY;
Step 3. Poll AD1INT for 1;
Step 4. Process ADC1 data.
7.2.2. Tracking Modes
The AD1TM bit in register ADC1CN controls the ADC1 track-and-hold mode. In its default state, the ADC1 input is
continuously tracked, except when a conversion is in progress. When the AD1TM bit is logic 1, ADC1 operates in
low-power track-and-hold mode. In this mode, each conversion is preceded by a tracking period of 3 SAR clocks
(after the start-of-conversion signal). When the CNVSTR signal is used to initiate conversions in low-power tracking
mode, ADC1 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins on the rising edge of CNVSTR (see Figure 7.2).
Tracking can also be disabled (shutdown) when the entire chip is in low power standby or sleep modes. Low-power
Track-and-Hold mode is also useful when AMUX or PGA settings are frequently changed, due to the settling time
requirements described in Section 7.2.3. Settling Time Requirements on page 78.

7.2.3. Settling Time Requirements
When the ADC1 input configuration is changed (i.e., a different MUX or PGA selection), a minimum settling (or
tracking) time is required before an accurate conversion can be performed. This settling time is determined by the
ADC1 MUX resistance, the ADC1 sampling capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required
for the conversion. Figure 7.3 shows the equivalent ADC1 input circuit. The required ADC1 settling time for a given
settling accuracy (SA) may be approximated by Equation 7.1. Note that in low-power tracking mode, three SAR1
clocks are used for tracking at the start of every conversion. For most applications, these three SAR1 clocks will meet
the tracking requirements. See Table 7.1 for absolute minimum settling time requirements.
Where:
SA is the settling accuracy, given as a fraction of an LSB (for example, 0.25 to settle within 1/4 LSB)
t is the required tracking time in seconds

8. DACS, 12-BIT VOLTAGE MODE
Each C8051F020/1/2/3 device includes two on-chip 12-bit voltage-mode Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs).
Each DAC has an output swing of 0V to (VREF-1LSB) for a corresponding input code range of 0x000 to 0xFFF. The
DACs may be enabled/disabled via their corresponding control registers, DAC0CN and DAC1CN. While disabled,
the DAC output is maintained in a high-impedance state, and the DAC supply current falls to 1 A or less. The volt-
age reference for each DAC is supplied at the VREFD pin (C8051F020/2 devices) or the VREF pin (C8051F021/3
devices). Note that the VREF pin on C8051F021/3 devices may be driven by the internal voltage reference or an
external source. If the internal voltage reference is used it must be enabled in order for the DAC outputs to be valid.
See Section 9. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (C8051F020/2) on page 91 or Section 10. VOLTAGE REFER-
ENCE (C8051F021/3) on page 93 for more information on configuring the voltage reference for the DACs.
8.1. DAC Output Scheduling
Each DAC features a flexible output update mechanism which allows for seamless full-scale changes and supports
jitter-free updates for waveform generation. The following examples are written in terms of DAC0, but DAC1 opera-
tion is identical. Note that reads from DAC0L return pre-latch data, meaning the value read is the same as the last
value written to this register, not the value at the DAC0L latch. Reads from DAC0H always return the value at the
DAC0H latch.

8.1.1. Update Output On-Demand
In its default mode (DAC0CN.[4:3] = 00) the DAC0 output is updated on-demand on a write to the high-byte of
the DAC0 data register (DAC0H). Its important to note that writes to DAC0L are held, and have no effect on the
DAC0 output until a write to DAC0H takes place. If writing a full 12-bit word to the DAC data registers, the 12-bit
data word is written to the low byte (DAC0L) and high byte (DAC0H) data registers. Data is latched into DAC0 after
a write to the corresponding DAC0H register, so the write sequence should be DAC0L followed by DAC0H if the
full 12-bit resolution is required. The DAC can be used in 8-bit mode by initializing DAC0L to the desired value (typ-
ically 0x00), and writing data to only DAC0H (also see Section 8.2 for information on formatting the 12-bit DAC
data word within the 16-bit SFR space).
8.1.2. Update Output Based on Timer Overflow
Similar to the ADC operation, in which an ADC conversion can be initiated by a timer overflow independently of the
processor, the DAC outputs can use a Timer overflow to schedule an output update event. This feature is useful in
systems where the DAC is used to generate a waveform of a defined sampling rate by eliminating the effects of vari-
able interrupt latency and instruction execution on the timing of the DAC output. When the DAC0MD bits
(DAC0CN.[4:3]) are set to 01, 10, or 11, writes to both DAC data registers (DAC0L and DAC0H) are held until
an associated Timer overflow event (Timer 3, Timer 4, or Timer 2, respectively) occurs, at which time the
DAC0H:DAC0L contents are copied to the DAC input latches allowing the DAC output to change to the new value.
8.2. DAC Output Scaling/Justification
In some instances, input data should be shifted prior to a DAC0 write operation to properly justify data within the
DAC input registers. This action would typically require one or more load and shift operations, adding software over-
head and slowing DAC throughput. To alleviate this problem, the data-formatting feature provides a means for the
user to program the orientation of the DAC0 data word within data registers DAC0H and DAC0L. The three
DAC0DF bits (DAC0CN.[2:0]) allow the user to specify one of five data word orientations as shown in the DAC0CN
register definition.
DAC1 is functionally the same as DAC0 described above. The electrical specifications for both DAC0 and DAC1 are
given in Table 8.1.

9. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (C8051F020/2)
The voltage reference circuit offers full flexibility in operating the ADC and DAC modules. Three voltage reference
input pins allow each ADC and the two DACs to reference an external voltage reference or the on-chip voltage refer-
ence output. ADC0 may also reference the DAC0 output internally, and ADC1 may reference the analog power sup-
ply voltage, via the VREF multiplexers shown in Figure 9.1.
The internal voltage reference circuit consists of a 1.2 V, 15 ppm/C (typical) bandgap voltage reference generator
and a gain-of-two output buffer amplifier. The internal reference may be routed via the VREF pin to external system
components or to the voltage reference input pins shown in Figure 9.1. Bypass capacitors of 0.1 F and 4.7 F are
recommended from the VREF pin to AGND, as shown in Figure 9.1. See Table 9.1 for voltage reference specifica-
tions.
The Reference Control Register, REF0CN (defined in Figure 9.2) enables/disables the internal reference generator
and selects the reference inputs for ADC0 and ADC1. The BIASE bit in REF0CN enables the on-board reference
generator while the REFBE bit enables the gain-of-two buffer amplifier which drives the VREF pin. When disabled,
the supply current drawn by the bandgap and buffer amplifier falls to less than 1 A (typical) and the output of the
buffer amplifier enters a high impedance state. If the internal bandgap is used as the reference voltage generator,
BIASE and REFBE must both be set to logic 1. If the internal reference is not used, REFBE may be set to logic 0.
Note that the BIASE bit must be set to logic 1 if either DAC or ADC is used, regardless of whether the voltage refer-
ence is derived from the on-chip reference or supplied by an off-chip source. If neither the ADC nor the DAC are
being used, both of these bits can be set to logic 0 to conserve power. Bits AD0VRS and AD1VRS select the ADC0
and ADC1 voltage reference sources, respectively. The electrical specifications for the Voltage Reference circuit are
given in Table 9.1.

10. VOLTAGE REFERENCE (C8051F021/3)
The internal voltage reference circuit consists of a 1.2 V, 15 ppm/C (typical) bandgap voltage reference generator
and a gain-of-two output buffer amplifier. The internal reference may be routed via the VREF pin to external system
components or to the VREFA input pin shown in Figure 10.1. Bypass capacitors of 0.1 F and 4.7 F are recom-
mended from the VREF pin to AGND, as shown in Figure 10.1. See Table 10.1 for voltage reference specifications.
The VREFA pin provides a voltage reference input for ADC0 and ADC1. ADC0 may also reference the DAC0 out-
put internally, and ADC1 may reference the analog power supply voltage, via the VREF multiplexers shown in
Figure 10.1.
The Reference Control Register, REF0CN (defined in Figure 10.2) enables/disables the internal reference generator
and selects the reference inputs for ADC0 and ADC1. The BIASE bit in REF0CN enables the on-board reference
generator while the REFBE bit enables the gain-of-two buffer amplifier which drives the VREF pin. When disabled,
the supply current drawn by the bandgap and buffer amplifier falls to less than 1 A (typical) and the output of the
buffer amplifier enters a high impedance state. If the internal bandgap is used as the reference voltage generator,
BIASE and REFBE must both be set to 1 (this includes any time a DAC is used). If the internal reference is not used,
REFBE may be set to logic 0. Note that the BIASE bit must be set to logic 1 if either ADC is used, regardless of
whether the voltage reference is derived from the on-chip reference or supplied by an off-chip source. If neither the
ADC nor the DAC are being used, both of these bits can be set to logic 0 to conserve power. Bits AD0VRS and
AD1VRS select the ADC0 and ADC1 voltage reference sources, respectively. The electrical specifications for the
Voltage Reference are given in Table 10.1.

11. COMPARATORS
Each MCU includes two on-board voltage comparators as shown in Figure 11.1. The inputs of each Comparator are
available at the package pins. The output of each comparator is optionally available at the package pins via the I/O
crossbar. When assigned to package pins, each comparator output can be programmed to operate in open drain or
push-pull modes. See Section 17. PORT INPUT/OUTPUT on page 161 for Crossbar and port initialization
details.
The hysteresis of each comparator is software-programmable via its respective Comparator control register (CPT0CN
and CPT1CN for Comparator0 and Comparator1, respectively). The user can program both the amount of hysteresis
voltage (referred to the input voltage) and the positive and negative-going symmetry of this hysteresis around the
threshold voltage. The output of the comparator can be polled in software, or can be used as an interrupt source. Each
comparator can be individually enabled or disabled (shutdown). When disabled, the comparator output (if assigned to
a Port I/O pin via the Crossbar) defaults to the logic low state, its interrupt capability is suspended and its supply cur-
rent falls to less than 1 A. Comparator inputs can be externally driven from -0.25 V to (AV+) + 0.25 V without dam-
age or upset.
The Comparator0 hysteresis is programmed using bits 3-0 in the Comparator0 Control Register CPT0CN (shown in
Figure 11.1). The amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CP0HYN bits; In a simi-
lar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is determined by the setting the CP0HYP bits. See Table 11.1 on page 99
for hysteresis level specifications.
Comparator interrupts can be generated on rising-edge and/or falling-edge output transitions. (For interrupt enable
and priority control, see Section 12.3. Interrupt Handler on page 116). The CP0FIF flag is set upon a
Comparator0 falling-edge interrupt, and the CP0RIF flag is set upon the Comparator0 rising-edge interrupt. Once set,
these bits remain set until cleared by software. The Output State of Comparator0 can be obtained at any time by read-
ing the CP0OUT bit. Comparator0 is enabled by setting the CP0EN bit to logic 1, and is disabled by clearing this bit

12. CIP-51 MICROCONTROLLER
The MCU system controller core is the CIP-51 microcontroller. The CIP-51 is fully compatible with the MCS-51
instruction set; standard 803x/805x assemblers and compilers can be used to develop software. The MCU family has
a superset of all the peripherals included with a standard 8051. Included are five 16-bit counter/timers (see descrip-
tion in Section 22), two full-duplex UARTs (see description in Section 20 and Section 21), 256 bytes of internal
RAM, 128 byte Special Function Register (SFR) address space (see Section 12.2.6), and 8/4 byte-wide I/O Ports (see
description in Section 17). The CIP-51 also includes on-chip debug hardware (see description in Section 24), and
interfaces directly with the MCUs' analog and digital subsystems providing a complete data acquisition or control-
system solution in a single integrated circuit.
The CIP-51 Microcontroller core implements the standard 8051 organization and peripherals as well as additional
custom peripherals and functions to extend its capability (see Figure 12.1 for a block diagram). The CIP-51 includes
the following features:

Performance
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the standard 8051
architecture. In a standard 8051, all instructions except for MUL and DIV take 12 or 24 system clock cycles to exe-
cute, and usually have a maximum system clock of 12 MHz. By contrast, the CIP-51 core executes 70% of its instruc-
tions in one or two system clock cycles, with no instructions taking more than eight system clock cycles.
With the CIP-51's maximum system clock at 25 MHz, it has a peak throughput of 25 MIPS. The CIP-51 has a total of
109 instructions. The table below shows the total number of instructions that require each execution time.
Programming and Debugging Support
A JTAG-based serial interface is provided for in-system programming of the FLASH program memory and commu-
nication with on-chip debug support logic. The re-programmable FLASH can also be read and changed a single byte
at a time by the application software using the MOVC and MOVX instructions. This feature allows program memory
to be used for non-volatile data storage as well as updating program code under software control.
The on-chip debug support logic facilitates full speed in-circuit debugging, allowing the setting of hardware break-
points and watch points, starting, stopping and single stepping through program execution (including interrupt service
routines), examination of the program's call stack, and reading/writing the contents of registers and memory. This
method of on-chip debug is completely non-intrusive and non-invasive, requiring no RAM, Stack, timers, or other
on-chip resources.
The CIP-51 is supported by development tools from Silicon Labs and third party vendors. Silicon Labs provides an
integrated development environment (IDE) including editor, macro assembler, debugger and programmer. The IDE's
debugger and programmer interface to the CIP-51 via its JTAG interface to provide fast and efficient in-system
device programming and debugging. Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also available.
12.1. Instruction Set
The instruction set of the CIP-51 System Controller is fully compatible with the standard MCS-51 instruction set;
standard 8051 development tools can be used to develop software for the CIP-51. All CIP-51 instructions are the
binary and functional equivalent of their MCS-51 counterparts, including opcodes, addressing modes and effect on
PSW flags. However, instruction timing is different than that of the standard 8051.
12.1.1. Instruction and CPU Timing
In many 8051 implementations, a distinction is made between machine cycles and clock cycles, with machine cycles
varying from 2 to 12 clock cycles in length. However, the CIP-51 implementation is based solely on clock cycle tim-
ing. All instruction timings are specified in terms of clock cycles.
Due to the pipelined architecture of the CIP-51, most instructions execute in the same number of clock cycles as there
are program bytes in the instruction. Conditional branch instructions take one less clock cycle to complete when the
branch is not taken as opposed to when the branch is taken. Table 12.1 is the CIP-51 Instruction Set Summary, which
includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock cycles for each instruction.
12.1.2. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory
In the CIP-51, the MOVX instruction serves three purposes: accessing on-chip XRAM, accessing off-chip XRAM,
and accessing on-chip program FLASH memory. The FLASH access feature provides a mechanism for user software
to update program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage (see Section 15. FLASH
Clocks to Execute 1 2 2/3 3 3/4 4 4/5 5 8
Number of Instructions 26 50 5 14 7 3 1 2 1

MEMORY on page 139). The External Memory Interface provides a fast access to off-chip XRAM (or memory-
mapped peripherals) via the MOVX instruction. Refer to Section 16. EXTERNAL DATA MEMORY INTER-
FACE AND ON-CHIP XRAM on page 145 for details.

12.2. Memory Organization
The memory organization of the CIP-51 System Controller is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are two sepa-
rate memory spaces: program memory and data memory. Program and data memory share the same address space but
are accessed via different instruction types. There are 256 bytes of internal data memory and 64k bytes of internal
program memory address space implemented within the CIP-51. The CIP-51 memory organization is shown in
Figure 12.2.
12.2.1. Program Memory
The CIP-51 has a 64k byte program memory space. The MCU implements 65536 bytes of this program memory
space as in-system re-programmed FLASH memory, organized in a contiguous block from addresses 0x0000 to
0xFFFF. Note: 512 bytes (0xEE00 to 0xFFFF) of this memory are reserved for factory use and are not available for
user program storage.
Program memory is normally assumed to be read-only. However, the CIP-51 can write to program memory by setting
the Program Store Write Enable bit (PSCTL.0) and using the MOVX instruction. This feature provides a mechanism
for the CIP-51 to update program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer to Sec-
tion 15. FLASH MEMORY on page 139 for further details.

12.2.2. Data Memory
The CIP-51 implements 256 bytes of internal RAM mapped into the data memory space from 0x00 through 0xFF.
The lower 128 bytes of data memory are used for general purpose registers and scratch pad memory. Either direct or
indirect addressing may be used to access the lower 128 bytes of data memory. Locations 0x00 through 0x1F are
addressable as four banks of general purpose registers, each bank consisting of eight byte-wide registers. The next
16 bytes, locations 0x20 through 0x2F, may either be addressed as bytes or as 128 bit locations accessible with the
direct addressing mode.
The upper 128 bytes of data memory are accessible only by indirect addressing. This region occupies the same
address space as the Special Function Registers (SFR) but is physically separate from the SFR space. The addressing
mode used by an instruction when accessing locations above 0x7F determines whether the CPU accesses the upper
128 bytes of data memory space or the SFRs. Instructions that use direct addressing will access the SFR space.
Instructions using indirect addressing above 0x7F access the upper 128 bytes of data memory. Figure 12.2 illustrates
the data memory organization of the CIP-51.
12.2.3. General Purpose Registers
The lower 32 bytes of data memory, locations 0x00 through 0x1F, may be addressed as four banks of general-purpose
registers. Each bank consists of eight byte-wide registers designated R0 through R7. Only one of these banks may be
enabled at a time. Two bits in the program status word, RS0 (PSW.3) and RS1 (PSW.4), select the active register bank
(see description of the PSW in Figure 12.6). This allows fast context switching when entering subroutines and inter-
rupt service routines. Indirect addressing modes use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.
12.2.4. Bit Addressable Locations
In addition to direct access to data memory organized as bytes, the sixteen data memory locations at 0x20 through
0x2F are also accessible as 128 individually addressable bits. Each bit has a bit address from 0x00 to 0x7F. Bit 0 of
the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x00 while bit 7 of the byte at 0x20 has bit address 0x07. Bit 7 of the byte at 0x2F has
bit address 0x7F. A bit access is distinguished from a full byte access by the type of instruction used (bit source or
destination operands as opposed to a byte source or destination).
The MCS-51 assembly language allows an alternate notation for bit addressing of the form XX.B where XX is the
byte address and B is the bit position within the byte. For example, the instruction:
MOV C, 22.3h
moves the Boolean value at 0x13 (bit 3 of the byte at location 0x22) into the Carry flag.
12.2.5. Stack
A programmer's stack can be located anywhere in the 256 byte data memory. The stack area is designated using the
Stack Pointer (SP, address 0x81) SFR. The SP will point to the last location used. The next value pushed on the stack
is placed at SP+1 and then SP is incremented. A reset initializes the stack pointer to location 0x07; therefore, the first
value pushed on the stack is placed at location 0x08, which is also the first register (R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if
more than one register bank is to be used, the SP should be initialized to a location in the data memory not being used
for data storage. The stack depth can extend up to 256 bytes.
The MCUs also have built-in hardware for a stack record. The stack record is a 32-bit shift register, where each
PUSH or increment SP pushes one record bit onto the register, and each CALL pushes two record bits onto the regis-
ter. (A POP or decrement SP pops one record bit, and a RET pops two record bits, also.) The stack record circuitry
can also detect an overflow or underflow on the 32-bit shift register, and can notify the debug software even with the
MCU running at speed.

Rev. 1.4 109
12.2.6. Special Function Registers
The direct-access data memory locations from 0x80 to 0xFF constitute the special function registers (SFRs). The
SFRs provide control and data exchange with the CIP-51's resources and peripherals. The CIP-51 duplicates the SFRs
found in a typical 8051 implementation as well as implementing additional SFRs used to configure and access the
sub-systems unique to the MCU. This allows the addition of new functionality while retaining compatibility with the
MCS-51 instruction set. Table 12.2 lists the SFRs implemented in the CIP-51 System Controller.
The SFR registers are accessed anytime the direct addressing mode is used to access memory locations from 0x80 to
0xFF. SFRs with addresses ending in 0x0 or 0x8 (e.g. P0, TCON, P1, SCON, IE, etc.) are bit-addressable as well as
byte-addressable. All other SFRs are byte-addressable only. Unoccupied addresses in the SFR space are reserved for
future use. Accessing these areas will have an indeterminate effect and should be avoided. Refer to the corresponding
pages of the datasheet, as indicated in Table 12.3, for a detailed description of each register.

12.3. Interrupt Handler
The CIP-51 includes an extended interrupt system supporting a total of 22 interrupt sources with two priority levels.
The allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripherals and external inputs pins varies according to the spe-
cific version of the device. Each interrupt source has one or more associated interrupt-pending flag(s) located in an
SFR. When a peripheral or external source meets a valid interrupt condition, the associated interrupt-pending flag is
set to logic 1.
If interrupts are enabled for the source, an interrupt request is generated when the interrupt-pending flag is set. As
soon as execution of the current instruction is complete, the CPU generates an LCALL to a predetermined address to
begin execution of an interrupt service routine (ISR). Each ISR must end with an RETI instruction, which returns pro-
gram execution to the next instruction that would have been executed if the interrupt request had not occurred. If
interrupts are not enabled, the interrupt-pending flag is ignored by the hardware and program execution continues as
normal. (The interrupt-pending flag is set to logic 1 regardless of the interrupt's enable/disable state.)
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled through the use of an associated interrupt enable bit in
an SFR (IE-EIE2). However, interrupts must first be globally enabled by setting the EA bit (IE.7) to logic 1 before the
individual interrupt enables are recognized. Setting the EA bit to logic 0 disables all interrupt sources regardless of
the individual interrupt-enable settings.
Some interrupt-pending flags are automatically cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. However,
most are not cleared by the hardware and must be cleared by software before returning from the ISR. If an interrupt-
pending flag remains set after the CPU completes the return-from-interrupt (RETI) instruction, a new interrupt
request will be generated immediately and the CPU will re-enter the ISR after the completion of the next instruction.
12.3.1. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors
The MCUs support 22 interrupt sources. Software can simulate an interrupt event by setting any interrupt-pending
flag to logic 1. If interrupts are enabled for the flag, an interrupt request will be generated and the CPU will vector to
the ISR address associated with the interrupt-pending flag. MCU interrupt sources, associated vector addresses, prior-
ity order and control bits are summarized in Table 12.4. Refer to the datasheet section associated with a particular on-
chip peripheral for information regarding valid interrupt conditions for the peripheral and the behavior of its inter-
rupt-pending flag(s).
12.3.2. External Interrupts
Two of the external interrupt sources (/INT0 and /INT1) are configurable as active-low level-sensitive or active-low
edge-sensitive inputs depending on the setting of bits IT0 (TCON.0) and IT1 (TCON.2). IE0 (TCON.1) and IE1
(TCON.3) serve as the interrupt-pending flag for the /INT0 and /INT1 external interrupts, respectively. If an /INT0 or
/INT1 external interrupt is configured as edge-sensitive, the corresponding interrupt-pending flag is automatically
cleared by the hardware when the CPU vectors to the ISR. When configured as level sensitive, the interrupt-pending
flag follows the state of the external interrupt's input pin. The external interrupt source must hold the input active until
the interrupt request is recognized. It must then deactivate the interrupt request before execution of the ISR completes
or another interrupt request will be generated.
The remaining 2 external interrupts (External Interrupts 6-7) are edge-sensitive inputs configurable as active-low or
active-high. The interrupt-pending flags and configuration bits for these interrupts are in the Port 3 Interrupt Flag
Register shown in Figure 17.19 P3IF: Port3 Interrupt Flag Register on page 177.

12.3.3. Interrupt Priorities
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of two priority levels: low or high. A low priority inter-
rupt service routine can be preempted by a high priority interrupt. A high priority interrupt cannot be preempted. Each
interrupt has an associated interrupt priority bit in an SFR (IP-EIP2) used to configure its priority level. Low priority
is the default. If two interrupts are recognized simultaneously, the interrupt with the higher priority is serviced first. If
both interrupts have the same priority level, a fixed priority order is used to arbitrate, given in Table 12.4.
12.3.4. Interrupt Latency
Interrupt response time depends on the state of the CPU when the interrupt occurs. Pending interrupts are sampled
and priority decoded each system clock cycle. Therefore, the fastest possible response time is 5 system clock cycles:
1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt and 4 clock cycles to complete the LCALL to the ISR. If an interrupt is pending
when a RETI is executed, a single instruction is executed before an LCALL is made to service the pending interrupt.
Therefore, the maximum response time for an interrupt (when no other interrupt is currently being serviced or the
new interrupt is of greater priority) occurs when the CPU is performing an RETI instruction followed by a DIV as the
next instruction. In this case, the response time is 18 system clock cycles: 1 clock cycle to detect the interrupt, 5 clock
cycles to execute the RETI, 8 clock cycles to complete the DIV instruction and 4 clock cycles to execute the LCALL
to the ISR. If the CPU is executing an ISR for an interrupt with equal or higher priority, the new interrupt will not be
serviced until the current ISR completes, including the RETI and following instruction.

12.4. Power Management Modes
The CIP-51 core has two software programmable power management modes: Idle and Stop. Idle mode halts the CPU
while leaving the external peripherals and internal clocks active. In Stop mode, the CPU is halted, all interrupts and
timers (except the Missing Clock Detector) are inactive, and the system clock is stopped. Since clocks are running in
Idle mode, power consumption is dependent upon the system clock frequency and the number of peripherals left in
active mode before entering Idle. Stop mode consumes the least power. Figure 12.15 describes the Power Control
Register (PCON) used to control the CIP-51's power management modes.
Although the CIP-51 has Idle and Stop modes built in (as with any standard 8051 architecture), power management
of the entire MCU is better accomplished by enabling/disabling individual peripherals as needed. Each analog periph-
eral can be disabled when not in use and put into low power mode. Digital peripherals, such as timers or serial buses,
draw little power whenever they are not in use. Turning off the Flash memory saves power, similar to entering Idle
mode. Turning off the oscillator saves even more power, but requires a reset to restart the MCU.
12.4.1. Idle Mode
Setting the Idle Mode Select bit (PCON.0) causes the CIP-51 to halt the CPU and enter Idle mode as soon as the
instruction that sets the bit completes. All internal registers and memory maintain their original data. All analog and
digital peripherals can remain active during Idle mode.
Idle mode is terminated when an enabled interrupt or /RST is asserted. The assertion of an enabled interrupt will
cause the Idle Mode Selection bit (PCON.0) to be cleared and the CPU to resume operation. The pending interrupt
will be serviced and the next instruction to be executed after the return from interrupt (RETI) will be the instruction
immediately following the one that set the Idle Mode Select bit. If Idle mode is terminated by an internal or external
reset, the CIP-51 performs a normal reset sequence and begins program execution at address 0x0000.
If enabled, the WDT will eventually cause an internal watchdog reset and thereby terminate the Idle mode. This fea-
ture protects the system from an unintended permanent shutdown in the event of an inadvertent write to the PCON
register. If this behavior is not desired, the WDT may be disabled by software prior to entering the Idle mode if the
WDT was initially configured to allow this operation. This provides the opportunity for additional power savings,
allowing the system to remain in the Idle mode indefinitely, waiting for an external stimulus to wake up the system.
Refer to Section 13.8. Watchdog Timer Reset on page 129 for more information on the use and configuration of
the WDT.
12.4.2. Stop Mode
Setting the Stop Mode Select bit (PCON.1) causes the CIP-51 to enter Stop mode as soon as the instruction that sets
the bit completes. In Stop mode, the CPU and internal oscillator are stopped, effectively shutting down all digital
peripherals. Each analog peripheral must be shut down individually prior to entering Stop Mode. Stop mode can only
be terminated by an internal or external reset. On reset, the CIP-51 performs the normal reset sequence and begins
program execution at address 0x0000.
If enabled, the Missing Clock Detector will cause an internal reset and thereby terminate the Stop mode. The Missing
Clock Detector should be disabled if the CPU is to be put to sleep for longer than the MCD timeout of 100 s.

13. RESET SOURCES
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. On entry to this reset state,
the following occur:
CIP-51 halts program execution
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values
External port pins are forced to a known state
Interrupts and timers are disabled.
All SFRs are reset to the predefined values noted in the SFR detailed descriptions. The contents of internal data mem-
ory are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved. However, since the stack pointer SFR is
reset, the stack is effectively lost even though the data on the stack are not altered.
The I/O port latches are reset to 0xFF (all logic 1s), activating internal weak pull-ups which take the external I/O pins
to a high state. Note that weak pull-ups are disabled during the reset, and enabled when the device exits the reset state.
This allows power to be conserved while the part is held in reset. For VDD Monitor resets, the /RST pin is driven low
until the end of the VDD reset timeout.
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to the internal oscillator
running at 2 MHz. Refer to Section 14. OSCILLATORS on page 135 for information on selecting and configuring
the system clock source. The Watchdog Timer is enabled using its longest timeout interval (see Section
13.8. Watchdog Timer Reset on page 129). Once the system clock source is stable, program execution begins at

13.1. Power-on Reset
The C8051F020/1/2/3 family incorporates a power supply monitor that holds the MCU in the reset state until VDD
rises above the V
RST
level during power-up. See Figure 13.2 for timing diagram, and refer to Table 13.1 for the Elec-
trical Characteristics of the power supply monitor circuit. The /RST pin is asserted low until the end of the 100 ms
VDD Monitor timeout in order to allow the VDD supply to stabilize.
On exit from a power-on reset, the PORSF flag (RSTSRC.1) is set by hardware to logic 1. All of the other reset flags
in the RSTSRC Register are indeterminate. PORSF is cleared by all other resets. Since all resets cause program exe-
cution to begin at the same location (0x0000), software can read the PORSF flag to determine if a power-up was the
cause of reset. The contents of internal data memory should be assumed to be undefined after a power-on reset.
The VDD monitor function is enabled by tying the MONEN pin directly to VDD. This is the recommended
configuration for the MONEN pin.
.
13.2. Power-fail Reset
When a power-down transition or power irregularity causes VDD to drop below V
RST
, the power supply monitor will
drive the /RST pin low and return the CIP-51 to the reset state. When VDD returns to a level above VRST, the CIP-51
will leave the reset state in the same manner as that for the power-on reset (see Figure 13.2). Note that even though
internal data memory contents are not altered by the power-fail reset, it is impossible to determine if VDD dropped
below the level required for data retention. If the PORSF flag is set to logic 1, the data may no longer be valid.

13.3. External Reset
The external /RST pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the MCU into a reset state. Asserting the /RST
pin low will cause the MCU to enter the reset state. It may be desirable to provide an external pull-up and/or decou-
pling of the /RST pin to avoid erroneous noise-induced resets. The MCU will remain in reset until at least 12 clock
cycles after the active-low /RST signal is removed. The PINRSF flag (RSTSRC.0) is set on exit from an external
reset.
13.4. Software Forced Reset
Writing a 1 to the SWRSEF bit forces a Software Reset as described in Section 13.1.
13.5. Missing Clock Detector Reset
The Missing Clock Detector is essentially a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the MCU system clock. If the system
clock goes away for more than 100 s, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a Missing Clock Detector
reset, the MCDRSF flag (RSTSRC.2) will be set, signifying the MSD as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0.
The state of the /RST pin is unaffected by this reset. Setting the MSCLKE bit in the OSCICN register (see Section
14. OSCILLATORS on page 135) enables the Missing Clock Detector.
13.6. Comparator0 Reset
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset input by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5). Comparator0
should be enabled using CPT0CN.7 (see Section 11. COMPARATORS on page 95) prior to writing to C0RSEF to
prevent any turn-on chatter on the output from generating an unwanted reset. The Comparator0 reset is active-low: if
the non-inverting input voltage (CP0+ pin) is less than the inverting input voltage (CP0- pin), the MCU is put into the
reset state. After a Comparator0 Reset, the C0RSEF flag (RSTSRC.5) will read 1 signifying Comparator0 as the
reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. The state of the /RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
13.7. External CNVSTR Pin Reset
The external CNVSTR signal can be configured as a reset input by writing a 1 to the CNVRSEF flag (RSTSRC.6).
The CNVSTR signal can appear on any of the P0, P1, P2 or P3 I/O pins as described in Section 17.1. Ports 0
through 3 and the Priority Crossbar Decoder on page 163. Note that the Crossbar must be configured for the
CNVSTR signal to be routed to the appropriate Port I/O. The Crossbar should be configured and enabled before the
CNVRSEF is set. When configured as a reset, CNVSTR is active-low and level sensitive. After a CNVSTR reset, the
CNVRSEF flag (RSTSRC.6) will read 1 signifying CNVSTR as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0. The
state of the /RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
13.8. Watchdog Timer Reset
The MCU includes a programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) running off the system clock. A WDT overflow will
force the MCU into the reset state. To prevent the reset, the WDT must be restarted by application software before
overflow. If the system experiences a software/hardware malfunction preventing the software from restarting the
WDT, the WDT will overflow and cause a reset. This should prevent the system from running out of control.
Following a reset the WDT is automatically enabled and running with the default maximum time interval. If desired
the WDT can be disabled by system software or locked on to prevent accidental disabling. Once locked, the WDT
cannot be disabled until the next system reset. The state of the /RST pin is unaffected by this reset.
The WDT consists of a 21-bit timer running from the programmed system clock. The timer measures the period
between specific writes to its control register. If this period exceeds the programmed limit, a WDT reset is generated.
The WDT can be enabled and disabled as needed in software, or can be permanently enabled if desired. Watchdog
features are controlled via the Watchdog Timer Control Register (WDTCN) shown in Figure 13.3.
C8051F020/1/2/3
130 Rev. 1.4
13.8.1. Enable/Reset WDT
The watchdog timer is both enabled and reset by writing 0xA5 to the WDTCN register. The user's application soft-
ware should include periodic writes of 0xA5 to WDTCN as needed to prevent a watchdog timer overflow. The WDT
is enabled and reset as a result of any system reset.
13.8.2. Disable WDT
Writing 0xDE followed by 0xAD to the WDTCN register disables the WDT. The following code segment illustrates
disabling the WDT:
CLR EA ; disable all interrupts
MOV WDTCN,#0DEh ; disable software watchdog timer
MOV WDTCN,#0ADh
SETB EA ; re-enable interrupts
The writes of 0xDE and 0xAD must occur within 4 clock cycles of each other, or the disable operation is ignored.
Interrupts should be disabled during this procedure to avoid delay between the two writes.
13.8.3. Disable WDT Lockout
Writing 0xFF to WDTCN locks out the disable feature. Once locked out, the disable operation is ignored until the
next system reset. Writing 0xFF does not enable or reset the watchdog timer. Applications always intending to use the
watchdog should write 0xFF to WDTCN in the initialization code.
13.8.4. Setting WDT Interval
WDTCN.[2:0] control the watchdog timeout interval. The interval is given by the following equation:
; where T
sysclk
is the system clock period.
For a 2 MHz system clock, this provides an interval range of 0.032 ms to 524 ms. WDTCN.7 must be logic 0 when
setting this interval. Reading WDTCN returns the programmed interval. WDTCN.[2:0] reads 111b after a system
reset.

14. OSCILLATORS
Each MCU includes an internal oscillator and an external oscillator drive circuit, either of which can generate the sys-
tem clock. The MCUs operate from the internal oscillator after any reset. This internal oscillator can be enabled/dis-
abled and its frequency can be set using the Internal Oscillator Control Register (OSCICN) as shown in Figure 14.1.
The internal oscillator's electrical specifications are given in Table 14.1.
Both oscillators are disabled when the /RST pin is held low. The MCUs can run from the internal oscillator perma-
nently, or can switch to the external oscillator if desired using CLKSL bit in the OSCICN Register. The external oscil-
lator requires an external resonator, crystal, capacitor, or RC network connected to the XTAL1/XTAL2 pins (see
Table 14.1). The oscillator circuit must be configured for one of these sources in the OSCXCN register. An external
CMOS clock can also provide the system clock; in this configuration, the XTAL1 pin is used as the CMOS clock
input. The XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins are NOT 5V tolerant.

14.1. External Crystal Example
If a crystal or ceramic resonator is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be as shown
in Figure 14.1, Option 1. The External Oscillator Frequency Control value (XFCN) should be chosen from the Crys-
tal column of the table in Figure 14.3 (OSCXCN register). For example, an 11.0592 MHz crystal requires an XFCN
setting of 111b.
The Crystal Oscillator Valid Flag (XTLVLD in register OSCXCN) is set to logic 1 by hardware when the external
crystal oscillator is running and stable. The XTLVLD detection circuit requires a startup time of at least 1 ms between
enabling the oscillator and checking the XTLVLD bit. Switching to the external oscillator before the crystal oscillator
has stabilized can result in unpredictable behavior. The recommended procedure is:
Step 1. Enable the external oscillator.
Step 2. Wait at least 1 ms.
Step 3. Poll for XTLVLD => 1.
Step 4. Switch the system clock to the external oscillator.
Important Note: Crystal oscillator circuits are quite sensitive to PCB layout. The crystal should be placed as close as
possible to the XTAL pins on the device, as should the loading capacitors on the crystal pins. The traces should be as
short as possible and shielded with ground plane from any other traces which could introduce noise or interference.
14.2. External RC Example
If an RC network is used as an external oscillator source for the MCU, the circuit should be as shown in Figure 14.1,
Option 2. The capacitor must be no greater than 100 pF; however for small capacitors (less than ~20 pF), the total
capacitance may be dominated by PWB parasitic capacitance. To determine the required External Oscillator Fre-
quency Control value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, first select the RC network value to produce the desired fre-
quency of oscillation. If the frequency desired is 100 kHz, let R = 246 kO and C = 50 pF:
f = 1.23( 10
3
) / RC = 1.23 ( 10
3
) / [ 246 * 50 ] = 0.1 MHz = 100 kHz

XFCN > 2, or code 010b
14.3. External Capacitor Example
If a capacitor is used as an external oscillator for the MCU, the circuit should be as shown in Figure 14.1, Option 3.
The capacitor must be no greater than 100 pF; however for small capacitors (less than ~20 pF), the total capacitance
may be dominated by PWB parasitic capacitance. To determine the required External Oscillator Frequency Control
value (XFCN) in the OSCXCN Register, select the capacitor to be used and find the frequency of oscillation from the
equations below. Assume VDD = 3.0 V and C = 50 pF:
f = KF / ( C * VDD ) = KF / ( 50 * 3 )
f = KF / 150
If a frequency of roughly 90 kHz is desired, select the K Factor from the table in Figure 14.3 as KF = 13:
f = 13 / 150 = 0.087 MHz, or 87 kHz
Therefore, the XFCN value to use in this example is 011b.

15. FLASH MEMORY
The C8051F020/1/2/3 family includes 64k + 128 bytes of on-chip, reprogrammable FLASH memory for program
code and non-volatile data storage. The FLASH memory can be programmed in-system, a single byte at a time,
through the JTAG interface or by software. Once cleared to logic 0, a FLASH bit must be erased to set it back to
logic 1. The bytes would typically be erased (set to 0xFF) before being reprogrammed. FLASH write and erase oper-
ations are automatically timed by hardware for proper execution; data polling to determine the end of the write/erase
operation is not required. Refer to Table 15.1 for the electrical characteristics of the FLASH memory.
15.1. Programming The FLASH Memory
The simplest means of programming the FLASH memory is through the JTAG interface using programming tools
provided by Silicon Labs or a third party vendor. This is the only means for programming a non-initialized device.
For details on the JTAG commands to program FLASH memory, see Section 24.2. Flash Programming Com-
mands on page 268.
The FLASH memory can be programmed by software using a MOVX write instruction, with the address and data
byte to be programmed provided as normal operands. Before writing to FLASH memory using a MOVX write,
FLASH write operations must be enabled by setting the PSWE Program Store Write Enable bit (PSCTL.0) to logic 1.
This directs the MOVX writes to FLASH memory instead of XRAM. The PSWE bit remains set until cleared by soft-
ware. To avoid errant FLASH writes, it is recommended that interrupts be disabled while the PSWE bit is logic 1.
FLASH memory is read using the MOVC read instruction. MOVX reads are always directed to XRAM, regardless of
the state of PSWE.
To ensure the integrity of FLASH contents, it is strongly recommended that the on-chip VDD monitor be
enabled by tying the MONEN pin to VDD in any system which includes code that writes to or erases FLASH
memory from software.
A write to FLASH memory can clear bits but cannot set them; only an erase operation can set bits in FLASH. A byte
location to be programmed must be erased before a new value can be written. The 64k byte FLASH memory is
organized in 512-byte pages. The erase operation applies to an entire page (setting all bytes in the page to 0xFF). The
following steps illustrate the algorithm for programming FLASH by user software.
Step 1. Disable interrupts.
Step 2. Set FLWE (FLSCL.0) to enable FLASH writes/erases via user software.
Step 3. Set PSEE (PSCTL.1) to enable FLASH erases.
Step 4. Set PSWE (PSCTL.0) to redirect MOVX commands to write to FLASH.
Step 5. Use the MOVX command to write a data byte to any location within the 512-byte page to be erased.
Step 6. Clear PSEE to disable FLASH erases
Step 7. Use the MOVX command to write a data byte to the desired byte location within the erased 512-byte
page. Repeat this step until all desired bytes are written (within the target page).
Step 8. Clear the PSWE bit to redirect MOVX commands to the XRAM data space.
Step 9. Re-enable interrupts.
C8051F020/1/2/3
140 Rev. 1.4
Write/Erase timing is automatically controlled by hardware. Note that code execution in the 8051 is stalled while the
FLASH is being programmed or erased. Interrupts that are posted during a FLASH write or erase operation are held
pending until the FLASH operation has completed, at which time they are serviced by the CPU in priority order.
15.2. Non-volatile Data Storage
The FLASH memory can be used for non-volatile data storage as well as program code. This allows data such as cal-
ibration coefficients to be calculated and stored at run time. Data is written using the MOVX write instruction (as
described in the previous section) and read using the MOVC read instruction.
An additional 128-byte sector of FLASH memory is included for non-volatile data storage. Its smaller sector size
makes it particularly well suited as general purpose, non-volatile scratchpad memory. Even though FLASH memory
can be written a single byte at a time, an entire sector must be erased first. In order to change a single byte of a multi-
byte data set, the data must be moved to temporary storage. The 128-byte sector-size facilitates updating data without
wasting program memory or RAM space. The 128-byte sector is double-mapped over the 64k byte FLASH memory;
its address ranges from 0x00 to 0x7F (see Figure 15.1). To access this 128-byte sector, the SFLE bit in PSCTL must
be set to logic 1. Code execution from this 128-byte scratchpad sector is not permitted.
15.3. Security Options
The CIP-51 provides security options to protect the FLASH memory from inadvertent modification by software as
well as prevent the viewing of proprietary program code and constants. The Program Store Write Enable (PSCTL.0)
and the Program Store Erase Enable (PSCTL.1) bits protect the FLASH memory from accidental modification by
software. These bits must be explicitly set to logic 1 before software can modify the FLASH memory. Additional
security features prevent proprietary program code and data constants from being read or altered across the JTAG
interface or by software running on the system controller.
A set of security lock bytes stored at 0xFDFE and 0xFDFF protect the FLASH program memory from being read or
altered across the JTAG interface. Each bit in a security lock-byte protects one 8k-byte block of memory. Clearing a
bit to logic 0 in a Read Lock Byte prevents the corresponding block of FLASH memory from being read across the
JTAG interface. Clearing a bit in the Write/Erase Lock Byte protects the block from JTAG erasures and/or writes. The
128-byte scratchpad sector is locked only when all other sectors are locked.
The Read Lock Byte is at location 0xFDFF. The Write/Erase Lock Byte is located at 0xFDFE. Figure 15.1 shows the
location and bit definitions of the security bytes. The 512-byte sector containing the lock bytes can be written to, but
not erased by software. An attempted read of a read-locked byte returns undefined data. Debugging code in a read-
locked sector is not possible through the JTAG port.

The lock bits can always be read and cleared to logic 0 regardless of the security setting applied to the block contain-
ing the security bytes. This allows additional blocks to be protected after the block containing the security bytes has
been locked. Important Note: The only means of removing a lock once set is to erase the entire program mem-
ory space by performing a JTAG erase operation (i.e. cannot be done in user firmware). Addressing either
security byte while performing a JTAG erase operation will automatically initiate erasure of the entire pro-
gram memory space (except for the reserved area). This erasure can only be performed via JTAG. If a non-
security byte in the 0xFBFF-0xFDFF page is addressed during the JTAG erasure, only that page (including the
security bytes) will be erased.
The FLASH Access Limit security feature (see Figure 15.1) protects proprietary program code and data from being
read by software running on the C8051F020/1/2/3. This feature provides support for OEMs that wish to program the

FLASH access Limit Register (FLACL)
The content of this register is used as the high byte of the 16-bit software read limit address. This 16-
bit read limit address value is calculated as 0xNN00 where NN is replaced by content of this register
on reset. Software running at or above this address is prohibited from using the MOVX and MOVC
instructions to read, write, or erase FLASH locations below this address. Any attempts to read loca-
tions below this limit will return the value 0x00.
C8051F020/1/2/3
142 Rev. 1.4
MCU with proprietary value-added firmware before distribution. The value-added firmware can be protected while
allowing additional code to be programmed in remaining program memory space later.
The Software Read Limit (SRL) is a 16-bit address that establishes two logical partitions in the program memory
space. The first is an upper partition consisting of all the program memory locations at or above the SRL address, and
the second is a lower partition consisting of all the program memory locations starting at 0x0000 up to (but exclud-
ing) the SRL address. Software in the upper partition can execute code in the lower partition, but is prohibited from
reading locations in the lower partition using the MOVC instruction. (Executing a MOVC instruction from the upper
partition with a source address in the lower partition will always return a data value of 0x00.) Software running in the
lower partition can access locations in both the upper and lower partition without restriction.
The Value-added firmware should be placed in the lower partition. On reset, control is passed to the value-added
firmware via the reset vector. Once the value-added firmware completes its initial execution, it branches to a predeter-
mined location in the upper partition. If entry points are published, software running in the upper partition may exe-
cute program code in the lower partition, but it cannot read the contents of the lower partition. Parameters may be
passed to the program code running in the lower partition either through the typical method of placing them on the
stack or in registers before the call or by placing them in prescribed memory locations in the upper partition.
The SRL address is specified using the contents of the FLASH Access Register. The 16-bit SRL address is calculated
as 0xNN00, where NN is the contents of the SRL Security Register. Thus, the SRL can be located on 256-byte bound-
aries anywhere in program memory space. However, the 512-byte erase sector size essentially requires that a 512
boundary be used. The contents of a non-initialized SRL security byte is 0x00, thereby setting the SRL address to
0x0000 and allowing read access to all locations in program memory space by default.
Bits 7-0: FLACL: FLASH Access Limit.
This register holds the high byte of the 16-bit program memory read/write/erase limit address. The
entire 16-bit access limit address value is calculated as 0xNN00 where NN is replaced by contents of
FLACL. A write to this register sets the FLASH Access Limit. This register can only be written once
after any reset. Any subsequent writes are ignored until the next reset.

16. EXTERNAL DATA MEMORY INTERFACE AND ON-CHIP XRAM
The C8051F020/1/2/3 MCUs include 4k bytes of on-chip RAM mapped into the external data memory space
(XRAM), as well as an External Data Memory Interface which can be used to access off-chip memories and memory-
mapped devices connected to the GPIO ports. The external memory space may be accessed using the external move
instruction (MOVX) and the data pointer (DPTR), or using the MOVX indirect addressing mode using R0 or R1. If
the MOVX instruction is used with an 8-bit address operand (such as @R1), then the high byte of the 16-bit address
is provided by the External Memory Interface Control Register (EMI0CN, shown in Figure 16.1). Note: the MOVX
instruction can also be used for writing to the FLASH memory. See Section 15. FLASH MEMORY on page 139
for details. The MOVX instruction accesses XRAM by default. The EMIF can be configured to appear on the lower
I/O ports (P0-P3) or the upper I/O ports (P4-P7).
16.1. Accessing XRAM
The XRAM memory space is accessed using the MOVX instruction. The MOVX instruction has two forms, both of
which use an indirect addressing method. The first method uses the Data Pointer, DPTR, a 16-bit register which con-
tains the effective address of the XRAM location to be read or written. The second method uses R0 or R1 in combina-
tion with the EMI0CN register to generate the effective XRAM address. Examples of both of these methods are given
below.
16.1.1. 16-Bit MOVX Example
The 16-bit form of the MOVX instruction accesses the memory location pointed to by the contents of the DPTR reg-
ister. The following series of instructions reads the value of the byte at address 0x1234 into the accumulator A:
MOV DPTR, #1234h ; load DPTR with 16-bit address to read (0x1234)
MOVX A, @DPTR ; load contents of 0x1234 into accumulator A

The above example uses the 16-bit immediate MOV instruction to set the contents of DPTR. Alternately, the DPTR
can be accessed through the SFR registers DPH, which contains the upper 8-bits of DPTR, and DPL, which contains
the lower 8-bits of DPTR.
16.1.2. 8-Bit MOVX Example
The 8-bit form of the MOVX instruction uses the contents of the EMI0CN SFR to determine the upper 8-bits of the
effective address to be accessed and the contents of R0 or R1 to determine the lower 8-bits of the effective address to
be accessed. The following series of instructions read the contents of the byte at address 0x1234 into the accumulator
A.
MOV EMI0CN, #12h ; load high byte of address into EMI0CN
MOV R0, #34h ; load low byte of address into R0 (or R1)
MOVX a, @R0 ; load contents of 0x1234 into accumulator A

16.2. Configuring the External Memory Interface
Configuring the External Memory Interface consists of four steps:
1. Select EMIF on Low Ports (P3, P2, P1, and P0) or High Ports (P7, P6, P5, and P4).
2. Select Multiplexed mode or Non-multiplexed mode.
3. Select the memory mode (on-chip only, split mode without bank select, split mode with bank select, or
off-chip only).
4. Set up timing to interface with off-chip memory or peripherals.
5. Select the desired output mode for the associated Ports (registers PnMDOUT, P74OUT).
Each of these four steps is explained in detail in the following sections. The Port selection, Multiplexed mode selec-
tion, and Mode bits are located in the EMI0CF register shown in Figure 16.2.
16.3. Port Selection and Configuration
The External Memory Interface can appear on Ports 3, 2, 1, and 0 (C8051F020/1/2/3 devices) or on Ports 7, 6, 5, and
4 (C8051F020/2 devices only), depending on the state of the PRTSEL bit (EMI0CF.5). If the lower Ports are selected,
the EMIFLE bit (XBR2.1) must be set to a 1 so that the Crossbar will skip over P0.7 (/WR), P0.6 (/RD), and if mul-
tiplexed mode is selected P0.5 (ALE). For more information about the configuring the Crossbar, see Section
17. PORT INPUT/OUTPUT on page 161.
The External Memory Interface claims the associated Port pins for memory operations ONLY during the execution of
an off-chip MOVX instruction. Once the MOVX instruction has completed, control of the Port pins reverts to the Port
latches or to the Crossbar (on Ports 3, 2, 1, and 0). See Section 17. PORT INPUT/OUTPUT on page 161 for
more information about the Crossbar and Port operation and configuration. The Port latches should be explicitly
configured to park the External Memory Interface pins in a dormant state, most commonly by setting them
to a logic 1.
During the execution of the MOVX instruction, the External Memory Interface will explicitly disable the drivers on
all Port pins that are acting as Inputs (Data[7:0] during a READ operation, for example). The Output mode of the Port
pins (whether the pin is configured as Open-Drain or Push-Pull) is unaffected by the External Memory Interface oper-
ation, and remains controlled by the PnMDOUT registers. See Section 17. PORT INPUT/OUTPUT on page 161
for more information about Port output mode configuration.

16.4. Multiplexed and Non-multiplexed Selection
The External Memory Interface is capable of acting in a Multiplexed mode or a Non-multiplexed mode, depending
on the state of the EMD2 (EMI0CF.4) bit.
16.4.1. Multiplexed Configuration
In Multiplexed mode, the Data Bus and the lower 8-bits of the Address Bus share the same Port pins: AD[7:0]. In this
mode, an external latch (74HC373 or equivalent logic gate) is used to hold the lower 8-bits of the RAM address. The
external latch is controlled by the ALE (Address Latch Enable) signal, which is driven by the External Memory Inter-
face logic. An example of a Multiplexed Configuration is shown in Figure 16.3.
In Multiplexed mode, the external MOVX operation can be broken into two phases delineated by the state of the ALE
signal. During the first phase, ALE is high and the lower 8-bits of the Address Bus are presented to AD[7:0]. During
this phase, the address latch is configured such that the Q outputs reflect the states of the D inputs. When ALE
falls, signaling the beginning of the second phase, the address latch outputs remain fixed and are no longer dependent
on the latch inputs. Later in the second phase, the Data Bus controls the state of the AD[7:0] port at the time /RD or
/WR is asserted.
See Section 16.6.2. Multiplexed Mode on page 156 for more information.

mation about Non-multiplexed operation.

16.5. Memory Mode Selection
The external data memory space can be configured in one of four modes, shown in Figure 16.5, based on the EMIF
Mode bits in the EMI0CF register (Figure 16.2). These modes are summarized below. More information about the
different modes can be found in Section . on page 152.
16.5.1. Internal XRAM Only
When EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 00, all MOVX instructions will target the internal XRAM space on the device. Mem-
ory accesses to addresses beyond the populated space will wrap on 4k boundaries. As an example, the addresses
0x1000 and 0x2000 both evaluate to address 0x0000 in on-chip XRAM space.
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine the high-byte of the effective address and R0
or R1 to determine the low-byte of the effective address.
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of the 16-bit DPTR to determine the effective address.
16.5.2. Split Mode without Bank Select
When EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 01, the XRAM memory map is split into two areas, on-chip space and off-chip space.
Effective addresses below the 4k boundary will access on-chip XRAM space.
Effective addresses beyond the 4k boundary will access off-chip space.
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine whether the memory access is on-chip or off-
chip. The lower 8-bits of the Address Bus A[7:0] are driven as defined by R0 or R1. However, in the No Bank
Select mode, an 8-bit MOVX operation will not drive the upper 8-bits A[15:8] of the Address Bus during an
off-chip access. This allows the user to manipulate the upper address bits at will by setting the Port state directly.
This behavior is in contrast with Split Mode with Bank Select described below.
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine whether the memory access is on-chip or off-
chip, and unlike 8-bit MOVX operations, the full 16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven during the off-
chip transaction.

16.5.3. Split Mode with Bank Select
When EMI0CF.[3:2] are set to 10, the XRAM memory map is split into two areas, on-chip space and off-chip space.
Effective addresses below the 4k boundary will access on-chip XRAM space.
Effective addresses beyond the 4k boundary will access off-chip space.
8-bit MOVX operations use the contents of EMI0CN to determine whether the memory access is on-chip or off-
chip. The upper 8-bits of the Address Bus A[15:8] are determined by EMI0CN, and the lower 8-bits of the
Address Bus A[7:0] are determined by R0 or R1. All 16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven in Bank
Select mode.
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine whether the memory access is on-chip or off-
chip, and the full 16-bits of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven during the off-chip transaction.
16.5.4. External Only
When EMI0CF[3:2] are set to 11, all MOVX operations are directed to off-chip space. On-chip XRAM is not visi-
ble to the CPU. This mode is useful for accessing off-chip memory located between 0x0000 and the 4k boundary.
8-bit MOVX operations ignore the contents of EMI0CN. The upper Address bits A[15:8] are not driven (identi-
cal behavior to an off-chip access in Split Mode without Bank Select described above). This allows the user to
manipulate the upper address bits at will by setting the Port state directly. The lower 8-bits of the effective
address A[7:0] are determined by the contents of R0 or R1.
16-bit MOVX operations use the contents of DPTR to determine the effective address A[15:0]. The full 16-bits
of the Address Bus A[15:0] are driven during the off-chip transaction.
16.6. Timing
The timing parameters of the External Memory Interface can be configured to enable connection to devices having
different setup and hold time requirements. The Address Setup time, Address Hold time, /RD and /WR strobe widths,
and in multiplexed mode, the width of the ALE pulse are all programmable in units of SYSCLK periods through
EMI0TC, shown in Figure 16.6, and EMI0CF[1:0].
The timing for an off-chip MOVX instruction can be calculated by adding 4 SYSCLK cycles to the timing parameters
defined by the EMI0TC register. Assuming non-multiplexed operation, the minimum execution time for an off-chip
XRAM operation is 5 SYSCLK cycles (1 SYSCLK for /RD or /WR pulse + 4 SYSCLKs). For multiplexed opera-
tions, the Address Latch Enable signal will require a minimum of 2 additional SYSCLK cycles. Therefore, the mini-
mum execution time of an off-chip XRAM operation in multiplexed mode is 7 SYSCLK cycles (2 SYSCLKs for
/ALE, 1 for /RD or /WR + 4 SYSCLKs). The programmable setup and hold times default to the maximum delay set-
tings after a reset.
Table 16.1 lists the AC parameters for the External Memory Interface, and Figure 16.7 through Figure 16.11 show the
timing diagrams for the different External Memory Interface modes and MOVX operations

17. PORT INPUT/OUTPUT
The C8051F020/1/2/3 are fully integrated mixed-signal System on a Chip MCUs with 64 digital I/O pins
(C8051F020/2) or 32 digital I/O pins (C8051F021/3), organized as 8-bit Ports. The lower ports: P0, P1, P2, and P3,
are both bit- and byte-addressable through their corresponding Port Data registers. The upper ports: P4, P5, P6, and
P7 are byte-addressable. All Port pins are 5 V-tolerant, and all support configurable Open-Drain or Push-Pull output
modes and weak pull-ups. A block diagram of the Port I/O cell is shown in Figure 17.1. Complete Electrical Specifi-
cations for the Port I/O pins are given in Table 16.1.

The C8051F020/1/2/3 devices have a wide array of digital resources which are available through the four lower I/O
Ports: P0, P1, P2, and P3. Each of the pins on P0, P1, P2, and P3, can be defined as a General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) pin
or can be controlled by a digital peripheral or function (like UART0 or /INT1 for example), as shown in Figure 17.2.
The system designer controls which digital functions are assigned pins, limited only by the number of pins available.
This resource assignment flexibility is achieved through the use of a Priority Crossbar Decoder. Note that the state of
a Port I/O pin can always be read from its associated Data register regardless of whether that pin has been assigned to
a digital peripheral or behaves as GPIO. The Port pins on Port 1 can be used as Analog Inputs to ADC1.
An External Memory Interface which is active during the execution of a MOVX instruction whose target address
resides in off-chip memory can be active on either the lower Ports or the upper Ports. See Section 16. EXTERNAL
DATA MEMORY INTERFACE AND ON-CHIP XRAM on page 145 for more information about the External
Memory Interface.
The upper Ports (available on C8051F020/2) can be byte-accessed as GPIO pins.

17.1. Ports 0 through 3 and the Priority Crossbar Decoder
The Priority Crossbar Decoder, or Crossbar, allocates and assigns Port pins on Port 0 through Port 3 to the digital
peripherals (UARTs, SMBus, PCA, Timers, etc.) on the device using a priority order. The Port pins are allocated in
order starting with P0.0 and continue through P3.7 if necessary. The digital peripherals are assigned Port pins in a pri-
ority order which is listed in Figure 17.3, with UART0 having the highest priority and CNVSTR having the lowest
priority.
17.1.1. Crossbar Pin Assignment and Allocation
The Crossbar assigns Port pins to a peripheral if the corresponding enable bits of the peripheral are set to a logic 1 in
the Crossbar configuration registers XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2, shown in Figure 17.7, Figure 17.8, and Figure 17.9.
For example, if the UART0EN bit (XBR0.2) is set to a logic 1, the TX0 and RX0 pins will be mapped to P0.0 and
P0.1 respectively. Because UART0 has the highest priority, its pins will always be mapped to P0.0 and P0.1 when
UART0EN is set to a logic 1. If a digital peripherals enable bits are not set to a logic 1, then its ports are not accessi-
ble at the Port pins of the device. Also note that the Crossbar assigns pins to all associated functions when a serial
communication peripheral is selected (i.e. SMBus, SPI, UART). It would be impossible, for example, to assign TX0

to a Port pin without assigning RX0 as well. Each combination of enabled peripherals results in a unique device pin-
out.
All Port pins on Ports 0 through 3 that are not allocated by the Crossbar can be accessed as General-Purpose I/O
(GPIO) pins by reading and writing the associated Port Data registers (See Figure 17.10, Figure 17.12, Figure 17.15,
and Figure 17.17), a set of SFRs which are both byte- and bit-addressable. The output states of Port pins that are allo-
cated by the Crossbar are controlled by the digital peripheral that is mapped to those pins. Writes to the Port Data reg-
isters (or associated Port bits) will have no effect on the states of these pins.
A Read of a Port Data register (or Port bit) will always return the logic state present at the pin itself, regardless of
whether the Crossbar has allocated the pin for peripheral use or not. An exception to this occurs during the execution
of a read-modify-write instruction (ANL, ORL, XRL, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ, JBC, CLR, SET, and the bitwise MOV
operation). During the read cycle of the read-modify-write instruction, it is the contents of the Port Data register, not
the state of the Port pins themselves, which is read.
Because the Crossbar registers affect the pinout of the peripherals of the device, they are typically configured in the
initialization code of the system before the peripherals themselves are configured. Once configured, the Crossbar reg-
isters are typically left alone.
Once the Crossbar registers have been properly configured, the Crossbar is enabled by setting XBARE (XBR2.6) to a
logic 1. Until XBARE is set to a logic 1, the output drivers on Ports 0 through 3 are explicitly disabled in order
to prevent possible contention on the Port pins while the Crossbar registers and other registers which can
affect the device pinout are being written.
The output drivers on Crossbar-assigned input signals (like RX0, for example) are explicitly disabled; thus the values
of the Port Data registers and the PnMDOUT registers have no effect on the states of these pins.
17.1.2. Configuring the Output Modes of the Port Pins
The output drivers on Ports 0 through 3 remain disabled until the Crossbar is enabled by setting XBARE (XBR2.6) to
a logic 1.
The output mode of each port pin can be configured as either Open-Drain or Push-Pull; the default state is Open-
Drain. In the Push-Pull configuration, writing a logic 0 to the associated bit in the Port Data register will cause the
Port pin to be driven to GND, and writing a logic 1 will cause the Port pin to be driven to VDD. In the Open-Drain
configuration, writing a logic 0 to the associated bit in the Port Data register will cause the Port pin to be driven to
GND, and a logic 1 will cause the Port pin to assume a high-impedance state. The Open-Drain configuration is useful
to prevent contention between devices in systems where the Port pin participates in a shared interconnection in which
multiple outputs are connected to the same physical wire (like the SDA signal on an SMBus connection).
The output modes of the Port pins on Ports 0 through 3 are determined by the bits in the associated PnMDOUT regis-
ters (See Figure 17.11, Figure 17.14, Figure 17.16, and Figure 17.18). For example, a logic 1 in P3MDOUT.7 will
configure the output mode of P3.7 to Push-Pull; a logic 0 in P3MDOUT.7 will configure the output mode of P3.7 to
Open-Drain. All Port pins default to Open-Drain output.
The PnMDOUT registers control the output modes of the port pins regardless of whether the Crossbar has allocated
the Port pin for a digital peripheral or not. The exceptions to this rule are: the Port pins connected to SDA, SCL, RX0
(if UART0 is in Mode 0), and RX1 (if UART1 is in Mode 0) are always configured as Open-Drain outputs, regardless
of the settings of the associated bits in the PnMDOUT registers.
C8051F020/1/2/3
Rev. 1.4 165
17.1.3. Configuring Port Pins as Digital Inputs
A Port pin is configured as a digital input by setting its output mode to Open-Drain and writing a logic 1 to the
associated bit in the Port Data register. For example, P3.7 is configured as a digital input by setting P3MDOUT.7 to a
logic 0 and P3.7 to a logic 1.
If the Port pin has been assigned to a digital peripheral by the Crossbar and that pin functions as an input (for example
RX0, the UART0 receive pin), then the output drivers on that pin are automatically disabled.
17.1.4. External Interrupts (IE6 and IE7)
In addition to the external interrupts /INT0 and /INT1, whose Port pins are allocated and assigned by the Crossbar,
P3.6 and P3.7 can be configured to generate edge sensitive interrupts; these interrupts are configurable as falling- or
rising-edge sensitive using the IE6CF (P3IF.2) and IE7CF (P3IF.3) bits. When an active edge is detected on P3.6 or
P3.7, a corresponding External Interrupt flag (IE6 or IE7) will be set to a logic 1 in the P3IF register (See
Figure 17.19). If the associated interrupt is enabled, an interrupt will be generated and the CPU will vector to the
associated interrupt vector location. See Section 12.3. Interrupt Handler on page 116 for more information about
interrupts.
17.1.5. Weak Pull-ups
By default, each Port pin has an internal weak pull-up device enabled which provides a resistive connection (about
100 kO) between the pin and VDD. The weak pull-up devices can be globally disabled by writing a logic 1 to the
Weak Pull-up Disable bit, (WEAKPUD, XBR2.7). The weak pull-up is automatically deactivated on any pin that is
driving a logic 0; that is, an output pin will not contend with its own pull-up device. The weak pull-up device can also
be explicitly disabled on a Port 1 pin by configuring the pin as an Analog Input, as described below.
17.1.6. Configuring Port 1 Pins as Analog Inputs (AIN1.[7:0])
The pins on Port 1 can serve as analog inputs to the ADC1 analog MUX. A Port pin is configured as an Analog Input
by writing a logic 0 to the associated bit in the P1MDIN register (see Figure 17.13). All Port pins default to a Digital
Input mode. Configuring a Port pin as an analog input:
1. Disables the digital input path from the pin. This prevents additional power supply current
from being drawn when the voltage at the pin is near VDD / 2. A read of the Port Data bit will
return a logic 0 regardless of the voltage at the Port pin.
2. Disables the weak pull-up device on the pin.
3. Causes the Crossbar to skip over the pin when allocating Port pins for digital peripherals.

Note that the output drivers on a pin configured as an Analog Input are not explicitly disabled. Therefore, the
associated P1MDOUT bits of pins configured as Analog Inputs should explicitly be set to logic 0 (Open-Drain output
mode), and the associated Port Data bits should be set to logic 1 (high-impedance). Also note that it is not required to
configure a Port pin as an Analog Input in order to use it as an input to the ADC1 MUX; however, it is strongly rec-
ommended. See Section 7. ADC1 (8-Bit ADC) on page 75 for more information about ADC1.

17.1.7. External Memory Interface Pin Assignments
If the External Memory Interface (EMIF) is enabled on the Low ports (Ports 0 through 3), EMIFLE (XBR2.1) should
be set to a logic 1 so that the Crossbar will not assign peripherals to P0.7 (/WR), P0.6 (/RD), and if the External Mem-
ory Interface is in Multiplexed mode, P0.5 (ALE). Figure 17.4 shows an example Crossbar Decode Table with
EMIFLE=1 and the EMIF in Multiplexed mode. Figure 17.5 shows an example Crossbar Decode Table with
EMIFLE=1 and the EMIF in Non-multiplexed mode.
If the External Memory Interface is enabled on the Low ports and an off-chip MOVX operation occurs, the External
Memory Interface will control the output states of the affected Port pins during the execution phase of the MOVX
instruction, regardless of the settings of the Crossbar registers or the Port Data registers. The output configuration of
the Port pins is not affected by the EMIF operation, except that Read operations will explicitly disable the output
drivers on the Data Bus. See Section 16. EXTERNAL DATA MEMORY INTERFACE AND ON-CHIP
XRAM on page 145 for more information about the External Memory Interface.

17.1.8. Crossbar Pin Assignment Example
In this example (Figure 17.6), we configure the Crossbar to allocate Port pins for UART0, the SMBus, UART1,
/INT0, and /INT1 (8 pins total). Additionally, we configure the External Memory Interface to operate in Multiplexed
mode and to appear on the Low ports. Further, we configure P1.2, P1.3, and P1.4 for Analog Input mode so that the
voltages at these pins can be measured by ADC1. The configuration steps are as follows:
1. XBR0, XBR1, and XBR2 are set such that UART0EN = 1, SMB0EN = 1, INT0E = 1, INT1E
= 1, and EMIFLE = 1. Thus: XBR0 = 0x05, XBR1 = 0x14, and XBR2 = 0x02.
2. We configure the External Memory Interface to use Multiplexed mode and to appear on the
Low ports. PRTSEL = 0, EMD2 = 0.
3. We configure the desired Port 1 pins to Analog Input mode by setting P1MDIN to 0xE3 (P1.4,
P1.3, and P1.2 are Analog Inputs, so their associated P1MDIN bits are set to logic 0).
4. We enable the Crossbar by setting XBARE = 1: XBR2 = 0x46.
- UART0 has the highest priority, so P0.0 is assigned to TX0, and P0.1 is assigned to RX0.
- The SMBus is next in priority order, so P0.2 is assigned to SDA, and P0.3 is assigned to SCL.
- UART1 is next in priority order, so P0.4 is assigned to TX1. Because the External Memory Inter-
face is selected on the lower Ports, EMIFLE = 1, which causes the Crossbar to skip P0.6 (/RD) and
P0.7 (/WR). Because the External Memory Interface is configured in Multiplexed mode, the Cross-
bar will also skip P0.5 (ALE). RX1 is assigned to the next non-skipped pin, which in this case is
P1.0.
- /INT0 is next in priority order, so it is assigned to P1.1.
- P1MDIN is set to 0xE3, which configures P1.2, P1.3, and P1.4 as Analog Inputs, causing the
Crossbar to skip these pins.
- /INT1 is next in priority order, so it is assigned to the next non-skipped pin, which is P1.5.
- The External Memory Interface will drive Ports 2 and 3 (denoted by red dots in Figure 17.6) during
the execution of an off-chip MOVX instruction.
5. We set the UART0 TX pin (TX0, P0.0), UART1 TX pin (TX1, P0.4), ALE, /RD, /WR
(P0.[7:3]) outputs to Push-Pull by setting P0MDOUT = 0xF1.
6. We configure the output modes of the EMIF Ports (P2, P3) to Push-Pull by setting P2MDOUT
= 0xFF and P3MDOUT = 0xFF.
7. We explicitly disable the output drivers on the 3 Analog Input pins by setting P1MDOUT =
0x00 (configure outputs to Open-Drain) and P1 = 0xFF (a logic 1 selects the high-impedance
state).

17.2. Ports 4 through 7 (C8051F020/2 only)
All Port pins on Ports 4 through 7 can be accessed as General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) pins by reading and writing the
associated Port Data registers (See Figure 17.21, Figure 17.22, Figure 17.23, and Figure 17.24), a set of SFRs which
are byte-addressable.
A Read of a Port Data register (or Port bit) will always return the logic state present at the pin itself, regardless of
whether the Crossbar has allocated the pin for peripheral use or not. An exception to this occurs during the execution
of a read-modify-write instruction (ANL, ORL, XRL, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ, JBC, CLR, SET, and the bitwise MOV
operation). During the read cycle of the read-modify-write instruction, it is the contents of the Port Data register, not
the state of the Port pins themselves, which is read.
17.2.1. Configuring Ports which are not Pinned Out
Although P4, P5, P6, and P7 are not brought out to pins on the C8051F021/3 devices, the Port Data registers are still
present and can be used by software. Because the digital input paths also remain active, it is recommended that these
pins not be left in a floating state in order to avoid unnecessary power dissipation arising from the inputs floating to
non-valid logic levels. This condition can be prevented by any of the following:
1. Leave the weak pull-up devices enabled by setting WEAKPUD (XBR2.7) to a logic 0.
2. Configure the output modes of P4, P5, P6, and P7 to Push-Pull by writing P74OUT = 0xFF.
3. Force the output states of P4, P5, P6, and P7 to logic 0 by writing zeros to the Port Data regis-
ters: P4 = 0x00, P5 = 0x00, P6= 0x00, and P7 = 0x00.
17.2.2. Configuring the Output Modes of the Port Pins
The output mode of each port pin can be configured to be either Open-Drain or Push-Pull. In the Push-Pull configura-
tion, a logic 0 in the associated bit in the Port Data register will cause the Port pin to be driven to GND, and a logic 1
will cause the Port pin to be driven to VDD. In the Open-Drain configuration, a logic 0 in the associated bit in the

Port Data register will cause the Port pin to be driven to GND, and a logic 1 will cause the Port pin to assume a high-
impedance state. The Open-Drain configuration is useful to prevent contention between devices in systems where the
Port pin participates in a shared interconnection in which multiple outputs are connected to the same physical wire.
The output modes of the Port pins on Ports 4 through 7 are determined by the bits in the P74OUT register (see
Figure 17.20). Each bit in P74OUT controls the output mode of a 4-bit bank of Port pins on Ports 4, 5, 6, and 7. A
logic 1 in P74OUT.7 will configure the output modes of 4 most-significant bits of Port 7, P7.[7:4], to Push-Pull; a
logic 0 in P74OUT.7 will configure the output modes of P7.[7:4] to Open-Drain.
17.2.3. Configuring Port Pins as Digital Inputs
A Port pin is configured as a digital input by setting its output mode to Open-Drain and writing a logic 1 to the
associated bit in the Port Data register. For example, P7.7 is configured as a digital input by setting P74OUT.7 to a
logic 0 and P7.7 to a logic 1.
17.2.4. Weak Pull-ups
By default, each Port pin has an internal weak pull-up device enabled which provides a resistive connection (about
100 kO) between the pin and VDD. The weak pull-up devices can be globally disabled by writing a logic 1 to the
Weak Pull-up Disable bit, (WEAKPUD, XBR2.7). The weak pull-up is automatically deactivated on any pin that is
driving a logic 0; that is, an output pin will not contend with its own pull-up device.
17.2.5. External Memory Interface
If the External Memory Interface (EMIF) is enabled on the High ports (Ports 4 through 7), EMIFLE (XBR2.1) should
be set to a logic 0.
If the External Memory Interface is enabled on the High ports and an off-chip MOVX operation occurs, the External
Memory Interface will control the output states of the affected Port pins during the execution phase of the MOVX
instruction, regardless of the settings of the Port Data registers. The output configuration of the Port pins is not
affected by the EMIF operation, except that Read operations will explicitly disable the output drivers on the Data Bus
during the MOVX execution. See Section 16. EXTERNAL DATA MEMORY INTERFACE AND ON-CHIP
XRAM on page 145 for more information about the External Memory Interface.

18. SYSTEM MANAGEMENT BUS / I
2
C BUS (SMBUS0)
The SMBus0 I/O interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus. SMBus0 is compliant with the System Manage-
ment Bus Specification, version 1.1, and compatible with the I
2
C serial bus. Reads and writes to the interface by the
system controller are byte oriented with the SMBus0 interface autonomously controlling the serial transfer of the
data. Data can be transferred at up to 1/8th of the system clock if desired (this can be faster than allowed by the
SMBus specification, depending on the system clock used). A method of extending the clock-low duration is avail-
able to accommodate devices with different speed capabilities on the same bus.
SMBus0 may operate as a master and/or slave, and may function on a bus with multiple masters. SMBus0 provides
control of SDA (serial data), SCL (serial clock) generation and synchronization, arbitration logic, and START/STOP
control and generation. SMBus0 is controlled by SFRs as described in Section 18.4 on page 189.

Figure 18.2 shows a typical SMBus configuration. The SMBus0 interface will work at any voltage between 3.0 V and
5.0 V and different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage levels. The bi-directional SCL (serial clock)
and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage through a pull-up resistor or similar
circuit. Every device connected to the bus must have an open-drain or open-collector output for both the SCL and
SDA lines, so that both are pulled high when the bus is free. The maximum number of devices on the bus is limited
only by the requirement that the rise and fall times on the bus will not exceed 300 ns and 1000 ns, respectively.

18.2. SMBus Protocol
Two types of data transfers are possible: data transfers from a master transmitter to an addressed slave receiver
(WRITE), and data transfers from an addressed slave transmitter to a master receiver (READ). The master device ini-
tiates both types of data transfers and provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. Note: multiple master devices on the
same bus are supported. If two or more masters attempt to initiate a data transfer simultaneously, an arbitration
scheme is employed with a single master always winning the arbitration. Note that it is not necessary to specify one
device as the master in a system; any device who transmits a START and a slave address becomes the master for that
transfer.
A typical SMBus transaction consists of a START condition followed by an address byte (Bits7-1: 7-bit slave
address; Bit0: R/W direction bit), one or more bytes of data, and a STOP condition. Each byte that is received (by a
master or slave) must be acknowledged (ACK) with a low SDA during a high SCL (see Figure 18.3). If the receiving
device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a not acknowledge (NACK), which is a high SDA during a
high SCL.
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address. The direction bit is set to logic 1 to
indicate a "READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The master gener-
ates the START condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the transaction is a WRITE opera-
tion from the master to the slave, the master transmits the data a byte at a time waiting for an ACK from the slave at
the end of each byte. For READ operations, the slave transmits the data waiting for an ACK from the master at the
end of each byte. At the end of the data transfer, the master generates a STOP condition to terminate the transaction
and free the bus. Figure 18.3 illustrates a typical SMBus transaction.
18.2.1. Arbitration
A master may start a transfer only if the bus is free. The bus is free after a STOP condition or after the SCL and SDA
lines remain high for a specified time (see Section 18.2.4). In the event that two or more devices attempt to begin a
transfer at the same time, an arbitration scheme is employed to force one master to give up the bus. The master
devices continue transmitting until one attempts a HIGH while the other transmits a LOW. Since the bus is open-
drain, the bus will be pulled LOW. The master attempting the HIGH will detect a LOW SDA and give up the bus. The
winning master continues its transmission without interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and receives the
rest of the transfer. This arbitration scheme is non-destructive: one device always wins, and no data is lost.
18.2.2. Clock Low Extension
SMBus provides a clock synchronization mechanism, similar to I
2
C, which allows devices with different speed capa-
bilities to coexist on the bus. A clock-low extension is used during a transfer in order to allow slower slave devices to
communicate with faster masters. The slave may temporarily hold the SCL line LOW to extend the clock low period,
effectively decreasing the serial clock frequency.

18.2.3. SCL Low Timeout
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore, the mas-
ter cannot force the SCL line high to correct the error condition. To solve this problem, the SMBus protocol specifies
that devices participating in a transfer must detect any clock cycle held low longer than 25 ms as a timeout condi-
tion. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the communication no later than 10 ms after detect-
ing the timeout condition.
18.2.4. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 s, the bus is desig-
nated as free. If an SMBus device is waiting to generate a Master START, the START will be generated following a
bus free timeout.

18.3. SMBus Transfer Modes
The SMBus0 interface may be configured to operate as a master and/or a slave. At any particular time, the interface
will be operating in one of the following modes: Master Transmitter, Master Receiver, Slave Transmitter, or Slave
Receiver. See Table 18.1 for transfer mode status decoding using the SMB0STA status register. The following mode
descriptions illustrate an interrupt-driven SMBus0 application; SMBus0 may alternatively be operated in polled
mode.
18.3.1. Master Transmitter Mode
Serial data is transmitted on SDA while the serial clock is output on SCL. SMBus0 generates a START condition and
then transmits the first byte containing the address of the target slave device and the data direction bit. In this case the
data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation. The SMBus0 interface transmits one or
more bytes of serial data, waiting for an acknowledge (ACK) from the slave after each byte. To indicate the end of the
serial transfer, SMBus0 generates a STOP condition.
18.3.2. Master Receiver Mode
Serial data is received on SDA while the serial clock is output on SCL. The SMBus0 interface generates a START
followed by the first data byte containing the address of the target slave and the data direction bit. In this case the data
direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 to indicate a "READ" operation. The SMBus0 interface receives serial data from
the slave and generates the clock on SCL. After each byte is received, SMBus0 generates an ACK or NACK depend-
ing on the state of the AA bit in register SMB0CN. SMBus0 generates a STOP condition to indicate the end of the
serial transfer.

18.3.3. Slave Transmitter Mode
Serial data is transmitted on SDA while the serial clock is received on SCL. The SMBus0 interface receives a START
followed by data byte containing the slave address and direction bit. If the received slave address matches the address
held in register SMB0ADR, the SMBus0 interface generates an ACK. SMBus0 will also ACK if the general call
address (0x00) is received and the General Call Address Enable bit (SMB0ADR.0) is set to logic 1. In this case the
data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 1 to indicate a "READ" operation. The SMBus0 interface receives the clock on
SCL and transmits one or more bytes of serial data, waiting for an ACK from the master after each byte. SMBus0
exits slave mode after receiving a STOP condition from the master.
18.3.4. Slave Receiver Mode
Serial data is received on SDA while the serial clock is received on SCL. The SMBus0 interface receives a START
followed by data byte containing the slave address and direction bit. If the received slave address matches the address
held in register SMB0ADR, the interface generates an ACK. SMBus0 will also ACK if the general call address
(0x00) is received and the General Call Address Enable bit (SMB0ADR.0) is set to logic 1. In this case the data direc-
tion bit (R/W) will be logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation. The SMBus0 interface receives one or more bytes of
serial data; after each byte is received, the interface transmits an ACK or NACK depending on the state of the AA bit
in SMB0CN. SMBus0 exits Slave Receiver Mode after receiving a STOP condition from the master.

18.4. SMBus Special Function Registers
The SMBus0 serial interface is accessed and controlled through five SFRs: SMB0CN Control Register, SMB0CR
Clock Rate Register, SMB0ADR Address Register, SMB0DAT Data Register and SMB0STA Status Register. The
five special function registers related to the operation of the SMBus0 interface are described in the following sec-
tions.
18.4.1. Control Register
The SMBus0 Control register SMB0CN is used to configure and control the SMBus0 interface. All of the bits in the
register can be read or written by software. Two of the control bits are also affected by the SMBus0 hardware. The
Serial Interrupt flag (SI, SMB0CN.3) is set to logic 1 by the hardware when a valid serial interrupt condition occurs.
It can only be cleared by software. The Stop flag (STO, SMB0CN.4) is cleared to logic 0 by hardware when a STOP
condition is detected on the bus.
Setting the ENSMS flag to logic 1 enables the SMBus0 interface. Clearing the ENSMB flag to logic 0 disables the
SMBus0 interface and removes it from the bus. Momentarily clearing the ENSMB flag and then resetting it to logic 1
will reset SMBus0 communication. However, ENSMB should not be used to temporarily remove a device from the
bus since the bus state information will be lost. Instead, the Assert Acknowledge (AA) flag should be used to tempo-
rarily remove the device from the bus (see description of AA flag below).
Setting the Start flag (STA, SMB0CN.5) to logic 1 will put SMBus0 in a master mode. If the bus is free, SMBus0 will
generate a START condition. If the bus is not free, SMBus0 waits for a STOP condition to free the bus and then gen-
erates a START condition after a 5 s delay per the SMB0CR value (In accordance with the SMBus protocol, the
SMBus0 interface also considers the bus free if the bus is idle for 50 s and no STOP condition was recognized). If
STA is set to logic 1 while SMBus0 is in master mode and one or more bytes have been transferred, a repeated
START condition will be generated. To ensure proper operation, the STO bit should be explicitly cleared to 0 before
setting the STA bit to 1.
When the Stop flag (STO, SMB0CN.4) is set to logic 1 while the SMBus0 interface is in master mode, the interface
generates a STOP condition. In a slave mode, the STO flag may be used to recover from an error condition. In this
case, a STOP condition is not generated on the bus, but the SMBus hardware behaves as if a STOP condition has been
received and enters the "not addressed" slave receiver mode. Note that this simulated STOP will not cause the bus to
appear free to SMBus0. The bus will remain occupied until a STOP appears on the bus or a Bus Free Timeout occurs.
Hardware automatically clears the STO flag to logic 0 when a STOP condition is detected on the bus.
The Serial Interrupt flag (SI, SMB0CN.3) is set to logic 1 by hardware when the SMBus0 interface enters one of 27
possible states. If interrupts are enabled for the SMBus0 interface, an interrupt request is generated when the SI flag
is set. The SI flag must be cleared by software.
Important Note: If SI is set to logic 1 while the SCL line is low, the clock-low period of the serial clock will be
stretched and the serial transfer is suspended until SI is cleared to logic 0. A high level on SCL is not affected by the
setting of the SI flag.
The Assert Acknowledge flag (AA, SMB0CN.2) is used to set the level of the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock cycle on the SCL line. Setting the AA flag to logic 1 will cause an ACK (low level on SDA) to be sent during
the acknowledge cycle if the device has been addressed. Setting the AA flag to logic 0 will cause a NACK (high level
on SDA) to be sent during acknowledge cycle. After the transmission of a byte in slave mode, the slave can be tempo-
rarily removed from the bus by clearing the AA flag. The slave's own address and general call address will be
ignored. To resume operation on the bus, the AA flag must be reset to logic 1 to allow the slave's address to be recog-
nized.
C8051F020/1/2/3
190 Rev. 1.4
Setting the SMBus0 Free Timer Enable bit (FTE, SMB0CN.1) to logic 1 enables the timer in SMB0CR. When SCL
goes high, the timer in SMB0CR counts up. A timer overflow indicates a free bus timeout: if SMBus0 is waiting to
generate a START, it will do so after this timeout. The bus free period should be less than 50 s (see Figure 18.9,
SMBus0 Clock Rate Register).
When the TOE bit in SMB0CN is set to logic 1, Timer 3 is used to detect SCL low timeouts. If Timer 3 is enabled
(see Section 22.2. Timer 3 on page 240), Timer 3 is forced to reload when SCL is high, and forced to count when
SCL is low. With Timer 3 enabled and configured to overflow after 25 ms (and TOE set), a Timer 3 overflow indi-
cates a SCL low timeout; the Timer 3 interrupt service routine can then be used to reset SMBus0 communication in
the event of an SCL low timeout.

Bit5: STA: SMBus Start Flag.
0: No START condition is transmitted.
1: When operating as a master, a START condition is transmitted if the bus is free. (If the bus is not
free, the START is transmitted after a STOP is received.) If STA is set after one or more bytes have
been transmitted or received and before a STOP is received, a repeated START condition is transmit-
ted. To ensure proper operation, the STO bit should be explicitly cleared to 0 before setting the STA
bit to 1.
Bit4: STO: SMBus Stop Flag.
0: No STOP condition is transmitted.
1: Setting STO to logic 1 causes a STOP condition to be transmitted. When a STOP condition is
received, hardware clears STO to logic 0. If both STA and STO are set, a STOP condition is transmit-
ted followed by a START condition. In slave mode, setting the STO flag causes SMBus to behave as
if a STOP condition was received.
Bit3: SI: SMBus Serial Interrupt Flag.
This bit is set by hardware when one of 27 possible SMBus0 states is entered. (Status code 0xF8 does
not cause SI to be set.) When the SI interrupt is enabled, setting this bit causes the CPU to vector to
the SMBus interrupt service routine. This bit is not automatically cleared by hardware and must be
cleared by software.
Bit2: AA: SMBus Assert Acknowledge Flag.
This bit defines the type of acknowledge returned during the acknowledge cycle on the SCL line.

The SMB0CR Clock Rate register controls the frequency of the serial clock SCL in master mode. The
8-bit word stored in the SMB0CR Register preloads a dedicated 8-bit timer. The timer counts up, and
when it rolls over to 0x00, the SCL logic state toggles.
The SMB0CR setting should be bounded by the following equation , where SMB0CR is the unsigned
8-bit value in register SMB0CR, and SYSCLK is the system clock frequency in Hz:
The resulting SCL signal high and low times are given by the following equations:

18.4.3. Data Register
The SMBus0 Data register SMB0DAT holds a byte of serial data to be transmitted or one that has just been received.
Software can read or write to this register while the SI flag is set to logic 1; software should not attempt to access the
SMB0DAT register when the SMBus is enabled and the SI flag is cleared to logic 0 since the hardware may be in the
process of shifting a byte of data in or out of the register.
Data in SMB0DAT is always shifted out MSB first. After a byte has been received, the first bit of received data is
located at the MSB of SMB0DAT. While data is being shifted out, data on the bus is simultaneously being shifted in.
Therefore, SMB0DAT always contains the last data byte present on the bus. In the event of lost arbitration, the transi-
tion from master transmitter to slave receiver is made with the correct data in SMB0DAT.
18.4.4. Address Register
The SMB0ADR Address register holds the slave address for the SMBus0 interface. In slave mode, the seven most-
significant bits hold the 7-bit slave address. The least significant bit (Bit0) is used to enable the recognition of the
general call address (0x00). If Bit0 is set to logic 1, the general call address will be recognized. Otherwise, the general
call address is ignored. The contents of this register are ignored when SMBus0 is operating in master mode.
Figure 18.10. SMB0DAT: SMBus0 Data Register
Bits7-0: SMB0DAT: SMBus0 Data.
The SMB0DAT register contains a byte of data to be transmitted on the SMBus0 serial interface or a
byte that has just been received on the SMBus0 serial interface. The CPU can read from or write to
this register whenever the SI serial interrupt flag (SMB0CN.3) is set to logic 1. When the SI flag is
not set, the system may be in the process of shifting data in/out and the CPU should not attempt to
access this register.

18.4.5. Status Register
The SMB0STA Status register holds an 8-bit status code indicating the current state of the SMBus0 interface. There
are 28 possible SMBus0 states, each with a corresponding unique status code. The five most significant bits of the
status code vary while the three least-significant bits of a valid status code are fixed at zero when SI = 1. Therefore,
all possible status codes are multiples of eight. This facilitates the use of status codes in software as an index used to
branch to appropriate service routines (allowing 8 bytes of code to service the state or jump to a more extensive ser-
vice routine).
For the purposes of user software, the contents of the SMB0STA register is only defined when the SI flag is logic 1.
Software should never write to the SMB0STA register; doing so will yield indeterminate results. The 28 SMBus0
states, along with their corresponding status codes, are given in Table 1.1.
Figure 18.12. SMB0STA: SMBus0 Status Register
Bits7-3: STA7-STA3: SMBus0 Status Code.
These bits contain the SMBus0 Status Code. There are 28 possible status codes; each status code cor-
responds to a single SMBus state. A valid status code is present in SMB0STA when the SI flag
(SMB0CN.3) is set to logic 1. The content of SMB0STA is not defined when the SI flag is logic 0.
Writing to the SMB0STA register at any time will yield indeterminate results.
Bits2-0: STA2-STA0: The three least significant bits of SMB0STA are always read as logic 0 when the SI flag
is logic 1.

19. SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE BUS (SPI0)
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0) provides access to a four-wire, full-duplex, serial bus. SPI0 may operate as a
master or a slave, and supports the connection of multiple slaves and masters on the same bus. A slave-select input
(NSS) is included in the SPI0 interface to select SPI0 as a slave; additional general purpose port I/O can be used as
slave-select outputs when SPI0 is operating as a master. Collision detection is provided when two or more masters
attempt a data transfer at the same time. When the SPI is configured as a master, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/
sec) is one-half the system clock frequency.
When the SPI is configured as a slave, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) for full-duplex operation is 1/10 the
system clock frequency, provided that the master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data synchronously with the
system clock. If the master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data asynchronously, the maximum data transfer
rate (bits/sec) must be less that 1/10 the system clock frequency. In the special case where the master only wants to
transmit data to the slave and does not need to receive data from the slave (i.e. half-duplex operation), the SPI slave
can receive data at a maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec) of 1/4 the system clock frequency. This is provided that the
master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data synchronously with the system clock.

19.1. Signal Descriptions
The four signals used by SPI0 (MOSI, MISO, SCK, NSS) are described below.
19.1.1. Master Out, Slave In (MOSI)
The master-out, slave-in (MOSI) signal is an output from a master device and an input to slave devices. It is used to
serially transfer data from the master to the slave. This signal is an output when SPI0 is operating as a master, and an
input when SPI0 is operating as a slave. Data is transferred most-significant bit first.
19.1.2. Master In, Slave Out (MISO)
The master-in, slave-out (MISO) signal is an output from a slave device and an input to the master device. It is used
to serially transfer data from the slave to the master. This signal is an input when SPI0 is operating as a master, and an
output when SPI0 is operating as a slave. Data is transferred most-significant bit first. A SPI slave places the MISO
pin in a high-impedance state when the slave is not selected.
19.1.3. Serial Clock (SCK)
The serial clock (SCK) signal is an output from the master device and an input to slave devices. It is used to synchro-
nize the transfer of data between the master and slave on the MOSI and MISO lines. SPI0 generates this signal when
operating as a master.
19.1.4. Slave Select (NSS)
The slave select (NSS) signal is an input used to select SPI0 as a slave, or to disable SPI0 as a master. Note that the
NSS signal is always an input to SPI0; with SPI0 operating as a master, slave select signals must be output via general
purpose port I/O pins. See Figure 19.2 for a typical configuration; see Section 17.1. Ports 0 through 3 and the Pri-
ority Crossbar Decoder on page 163 for general purpose port configuration.
The NSS signal must be low to initiate a transfer with SPI0 as a slave; SPI0 will exit slave mode when NSS is
released high. Note that received data is not latched into the receive buffer until NSS is high. For multiple-byte trans-
fers, NSS must be released high for at least 4 system clocks following each byte that is received by the SPI0 slave.

19.2. SPI0 Operation
Only a SPI master device can initiate a data transfer. SPI0 is placed in master mode by setting the Master Enable flag
(MSTEN, SPI0CN.1). Writing a byte of data to the SPI0 data register (SPI0DAT) when in Master Mode starts a data
transfer. The SPI0 master immediately shifts out the data serially on the MOSI line while providing the serial clock
on SCK. The SPIF (SPI0CN.7) flag is set to logic 1 at the end of the transfer. If interrupts are enabled, an interrupt
request is generated when the SPIF flag is set. The SPI0 master can be configured to shift in/out from one to eight bits
in a transfer operation in order to accommodate slave devices with different word lengths. The SPIFRS bits in the
SP0I Configuration Register (SPI0CFG.[2:0]) are used to select the number of bits to shift in/out in a transfer opera-
tion.
While the SPI0 master transfers data to a slave on the MOSI line, the addressed SPI slave device simultaneously
transfers the contents of its shift register to the SPI master on the MISO line in a full-duplex operation. The data byte
received from the slave replaces the data in the master's data register. Therefore, the SPIF flag serves as both a trans-
mit-complete and receive-data-ready flag. The data transfer in both directions is synchronized with the serial clock
generated by the master. Figure 19.3 illustrates the full-duplex operation of an SPI master and an addressed slave.
When SPI0 is enabled and not configured as a master, it will operate as an SPI slave. Another SPI device acting as a
master will initiate a transfer by driving the NSS input signal low. The master then shifts data out of the shift register
on the MOSI pin using the its serial clock. The SPIF flag is set to logic 1 when the NSS signal goes high, indicating
the end of a data transfer. Note that following a rising edge on NSS, the receive buffer will always contain the last
8 bits of data in the slave shift register. The slave can load its shift register for the next data transfer by writing to the
SPI0 data register. The slave must make the write to the data register at least one SPI serial clock cycle before the
master starts the next transmission. Otherwise, the byte of data already in the slave's shift register will be transferred.
Note that the NSS signal must be driven low at least 2 system clocks before the first active edge of SCK for each byte
transfer.
The SPI0 data register is double buffered on reads, but not on writes. If a write to SPI0DAT is attempted during a data
transfer, the WCOL flag (SPI0CN.6) will be set to logic 1 and the write will be ignored. The current data transfer will
continue uninterrupted. A read of the SPI0 data register by the system controller actually reads the receive buffer. The
receive overrun flag (RXOVRN in register SPI0CN) is set anytime a SPI0 slave detects a rising edge on NSS while
the receive buffer still holds unread data from a previous transfer. The new data is not transferred to the receive buf-
fer, allowing the previously received data byte to be read. The data byte causing the overrun is lost.

Multiple masters may reside on the same bus. A Mode Fault flag (MODF, SPI0CN.5) is set to logic 1 when SPI0 is
configured as a master (MSTEN = 1) and its slave select signal NSS is pulled low. When the Mode Fault flag is set,
the MSTEN and SPIEN bits of the SPI control register are cleared by hardware, thereby placing the SPI0 module in
an "off-line" state. In a multiple-master environment, the system controller should check the state of the SLVSEL flag
(SPI0CN.2) to ensure the bus is free before setting the MSTEN bit and initiating a data transfer.
19.3. Serial Clock Timing
As shown in Figure 19.4, four combinations of serial clock phase and polarity can be selected using the clock control
bits in the SPI0 Configuration Register (SPI0CFG). The CKPHA bit (SPI0CFG.7) selects one of two clock phases
(edge used to latch the data). The CKPOL bit (SPI0CFG.6) selects between an active-high or active-low clock. Both
master and slave devices must be configured to use the same clock phase and polarity. Note: SPI0 should be disabled
(by clearing the SPIEN bit, SPI0CN.0) while changing the clock phase and polarity.
The SPI0 Clock Rate Register (SPI0CKR) as shown in Figure 19.7 controls the master mode serial clock frequency.
This register is ignored when operating in slave mode.

19.4. SPI Special Function Registers
SPI0 is accessed and controlled through four special function registers in the system controller: SPI0CN Control Reg-

20. UART0
UART0 is an enhanced serial port with frame error detection and address recognition hardware. UART0 may operate
in full-duplex asynchronous or half-duplex synchronous modes, and mutiproccessor communication is fully sup-
ported. Receive data is buffered in a holding register, allowing UART0 to start reception of a second incoming data
byte before software has finished reading the previous data byte. A Receive Overrun bit indicates when new received
data is latched into the receive buffer before the previous received byte is read.
UART0 is accessed via its associated SFRs, Serial Control (SCON0) and Serial Data Buffer (SBUF0). The single
SBUF0 location provides access to both transmit and receive registers. Reads access the Receive register and writes
access the Transmit register automatically.
UART0 may be operated in polled or interrupt mode. UART0 has two sources of interrupts: a Transmit Interrupt flag,
TI0 (SCON0.1) set when transmission of a data byte is complete, and a Receive Interrupt flag, RI0 (SCON0.0) set
when reception of a data byte is complete. UART0 interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors
to the interrupt service routine; they must be cleared manually by software. This allows software to determine the
cause of the UART0 interrupt (transmit complete or receive complete).

20.1. UART0 Operational Modes
UART0 provides four operating modes (one synchronous and three asynchronous) selected by setting configuration
bits in the SCON0 register. These four modes offer different baud rates and communication protocols. The four
modes are summarized in Table 20.1.
20.1.1. Mode 0: Synchronous Mode
Mode 0 provides synchronous, half-duplex communication. Serial data is transmitted and received on the RX0 pin.
The TX0 pin provides the shift clock for both transmit and receive. The MCU must be the master since it generates
the shift clock for transmission in both directions (see the interconnect diagram in Figure 20.2).
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. Eight data bits are transferred
LSB first (see the timing diagram in Figure 20.3), and the TI0 Transmit Interrupt Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of
the eighth bit time. Data reception begins when the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to logic 1 and the RI0
Receive Interrupt Flag (SCON0.0) is cleared. One cycle after the eighth bit is shifted in, the RI0 flag is set and recep-
tion stops until software clears the RI0 bit. An interrupt will occur if enabled when either TI0 or RI0 are set.
The Mode 0 baud rate is SYSCLK / 12. RX0 is forced to open-drain in Mode 0, and an external pull-up will typically
be required.

20.1.2. Mode 1: 8-Bit UART, Variable Baud Rate
Mode 1 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication using a total of 10 bits per data byte: one start
bit, eight data bits (LSB first), and one stop bit. Data are transmitted from the TX0 pin and received at the RX0 pin.
On receive, the eight data bits are stored in SBUF0 and the stop bit goes into RB80 (SCON0.2).
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit Interrupt
Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin
any time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to logic 1. After the stop bit is received, the data byte
will be loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met: RI0 must be logic 0, and if SM20
is logic 1, the stop bit must be logic 1.
If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data are stored in SBUF0, the stop bit is stored in RB80 and the RI0 flag
is set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not be set. An inter-
rupt will occur if enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set.
The baud rate generated in Mode 1 is a function of timer overflow, shown in Equation 20.1 and Equation 20.2.
UART0 can use Timer 1 operating in 8-Bit Auto-Reload Mode, or Timer 2 operating in Baud Rate Generator Mode to
generate the baud rate (note that the TX and RX clocks are selected separately). On each timer overflow event (a roll-
over from all ones - (0xFF for Timer 1, 0xFFFF for Timer 2) - to zero) a clock is sent to the baud rate logic.
Timer 2 is selected as TX and/or RX baud clock source by setting the TCLK0 (T2CON.4) and/or RCLK0 (T2CON.5)
bits, respectively (see Section 22. TIMERS on page 225 for complete timer configuration details). When either
TCLK0 or RCLK0 is set to logic 1, Timer 2 is forced into Baud Rate Generator Mode, with SYSCLK / 2 as its clock
source. If TCLK0 and/or RCLK0 is logic 0, Timer 1 acts as the baud clock source for the TX and/or RX circuits,
respectively.
The Mode 1 baud rate equations are shown below, where T1M is the Timer 1 Clock Select bit (register CKCON),
TH1 is the 8-bit reload register for Timer 1, SMOD0 is the UART0 baud rate doubler (register PCON) and
[RCAP2H , RCAP2L] is the 16-bit reload register for Timer 2.

20.1.3. Mode 2: 9-Bit UART, Fixed Baud Rate
Mode 2 provides asynchronous, full-duplex communication using a total of eleven bits per data byte: a start bit, 8 data
bits (LSB first), a programmable ninth data bit, and a stop bit. Mode 2 supports multiprocessor communications and
hardware address recognition (see Section 20.2. Multiprocessor Communications on page 210). On transmit,
the ninth data bit is determined by the value in TB80 (SCON0.3). It can be assigned the value of the parity flag P in
the PSW or used in multiprocessor communications. On receive, the ninth data bit goes into RB80 (SCON0.2) and
the stop bit is ignored.
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI0 Transmit Interrupt
Flag (SCON0.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin
any time after the REN0 Receive Enable bit (SCON0.4) is set to logic 1. After the stop bit is received, the data byte
will be loaded into the SBUF0 receive register if RI0 is logic 0 and one of the following requirements are met:
1. SM20 is logic 0
2. SM20 is logic 1, the received 9th bit is logic 1, and the received address matches the UART0 address as
described in Section 20.2.
If the above conditions are satisfied, the eight bits of data are stored in SBUF0, the ninth bit is stored in RB80 and the
RI0 flag is set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB80 will not be loaded and the RI0 flag will not be set.
An interrupt will occur if enabled when either TI0 or RI0 is set.
The baud rate in Mode 2 is either SYSCLK / 32 or SYSCLK / 64, depending on the value of the SMOD0 bit in regis-
ter PCON.

Mode 3 uses the Mode 2 transmission protocol with the Mode 1 baud rate generation. Mode 3 operation transmits
11 bits: a start bit, 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable ninth data bit, and a stop bit. The baud rate is derived from
Timer 1 or Timer 2 overflows, as defined by Equation 20.1 and Equation 20.2. Multiprocessor communications and
hardware address recognition are supported, as described in Section 20.2.

20.2. Multiprocessor Communications
Modes 2 and 3 support multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave processors
by special use of the ninth data bit and the built-in UART0 address recognition hardware. A master processor begins
a transfer with an address byte to select one or more target slave devices. An address byte differs from a data byte in
that its ninth bit is logic 1; in a data byte, the ninth bit is always set to logic 0.
The UART0 address is configured via two SFRs: SADDR0 (Serial Address) and SADEN0 (Serial Address Enable).
SADEN0 sets the bit mask for the address held in SADDR0: bits set to logic 1 in SADEN0 correspond to bits in
SADDR0 that are checked against the received address byte; bits set to logic 0 in SADEN0 correspond to dont
care bits in SADDR0.
Setting the SM20 bit (SCON0.5) configures UART0 such that when a stop bit is received, UART0 will generate an
interrupt only if the ninth bit is logic 1 (RB80 = 1) and the received data byte matches the UART0 slave address. Fol-
lowing the received address interrupt, the slave should clear its SM20 bit to enable interrupts on the reception of the
following data byte(s). Once the entire message is received, the addressed slave should reset its SM20 bit to ignore all
transmissions until it receives the next address byte. While SM20 is logic 1, UART0 ignores all bytes that do not
match the UART0 address and include a ninth bit that is logic 1.
Multiple addresses can be assigned to a single slave and/or a single address can be assigned to multiple slaves,
thereby enabling "broadcast" transmissions to more than one slave simultaneously. The broadcast address is the logi-
cal OR of registers SADDR0 and SADEN0, and 0s of the result are treated as dont cares. Typically a broadcast
address of 0xFF (hexadecimal) is acknowledged by all slaves, assuming dont care bits as 1s. The master proces-
sor can be configured to receive all transmissions or a protocol can be implemented such that the master/slave role is
temporarily reversed to enable half-duplex transmission between the original master and slave(s).
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
SADDR0 = 00110101 SADDR0 = 00110101 SADDR0 = 00110101
SADEN0 = 00001111 SADEN0 = 11110011 SADEN0 = 11000000

20.3. Frame and Transmission Error Detection
Frame error detection is available in the following modes when the SSTAT0 bit in register PCON is set to logic 1.
Note: The SSTAT0 bit must be logic 1 to access any of the status bits (FE0, RXOVR0, and TXCOL0). To access the
UART0 Mode Select bits (SM00, SM10, and SM20), the SSTAT0 bit must be logic 0.
All Modes:
The Transmit Collision bit (TXCOL0 bit in register SCON0) reads 1 if user software writes data to the SBUF0 reg-
ister while a transmit is in progress. Note that the TXCOL0 bit also functions as the SM20 bit when the SSTAT0 bit in
register PCON is logic 0.
Modes 1, 2, and 3:
The Receive Overrun bit (RXOVR0 in register SCON0) reads 1 if a new data byte is latched into the receive buffer
before software has read the previous byte. Note that the RXOVR0 bit also functions as the SM10 bit when the
SSTAT0 bit in register PCON is logic 0.
The Frame Error bit (FE0 in register SCON0) reads 1 if an invalid (low) STOP bit is detected. Note that the FE0 bit
also functions as the SM00 bit when the SSTAT0 bit in register PCON is logic 0.

21. UART1
UART1 is an enhanced serial port with frame error detection and address recognition hardware. UART1 may operate
in full-duplex asynchronous or half-duplex synchronous modes, and mutiproccessor communication is fully sup-
ported. Receive data is buffered in a holding register, allowing UART1 to start reception of a second incoming data
byte before software has finished reading the previous data byte. A Receive Overrun bit indicates when new received
data is latched into the receive buffer before the previous received byte is read.
UART1 is accessed via its associated SFRs, Serial Control (SCON1) and Serial Data Buffer (SBUF1). The single
SBUF1 location provides access to both transmit and receive registers. Reads access the Receive register and writes
access the Transmit register automatically.
UART1 may be operated in polled or interrupt mode. UART1 has two sources of interrupts: a Transmit Interrupt flag,
TI1 (SCON1.1) set when transmission of a data byte is complete, and a Receive Interrupt flag, RI1 (SCON1.0) set
when reception of a data byte is complete. UART1 interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware when the CPU vectors
to the interrupt service routine; they must be cleared manually by software. This allows software to determine the
cause of the UART1 interrupt (transmit complete or receive complete).

21.1. UART1 Operational Modes
UART1 provides four operating modes (one synchronous and three asynchronous) selected by setting configuration
bits in the SCON1 register. These four modes offer different baud rates and communication protocols. The four
modes are summarized in Table 21.1.
21.1.1. Mode 0: Synchronous Mode
Mode 0 provides synchronous, half-duplex communication. Serial data is transmitted and received on the RX1 pin.
The TX1 pin provides the shift clock for both transmit and receive. The MCU must be the master since it generates
the shift clock for transmission in both directions (see the interconnect diagram in Figure 21.2).
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF1 register. Eight data bits are transferred
LSB first (see the timing diagram in Figure 21.3), and the TI1 Transmit Interrupt Flag (SCON1.1) is set at the end of
the eighth bit time. Data reception begins when the REN1 Receive Enable bit (SCON1.4) is set to logic 1 and the RI1
Receive Interrupt Flag (SCON1.0) is cleared. One cycle after the eighth bit is shifted in, the RI1 flag is set and recep-
tion stops until software clears the RI1 bit. An interrupt will occur if enabled when either TI1 or RI1 are set.
The Mode 0 baud rate is SYSCLK / 12. RX1 is forced to open-drain in Mode 0, and an external pull-up will typically
be required.

21.1.2. Mode 1: 8-Bit UART, Variable Baud Rate
Mode 1 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication using a total of 10 bits per data byte: one start
bit, eight data bits (LSB first), and one stop bit. Data are transmitted from the TX1 pin and received at the RX1 pin.
On receive, the eight data bits are stored in SBUF1 and the stop bit goes into RB81 (SCON1.2).
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF1 register. The TI1 Transmit Interrupt
Flag (SCON1.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin
any time after the REN1 Receive Enable bit (SCON1.4) is set to logic 1. After the stop bit is received, the data byte
will be loaded into the SBUF1 receive register if the following conditions are met: RI1 must be logic 0, and if SM21
is logic 1, the stop bit must be logic 1.
If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data are stored in SBUF1, the stop bit is stored in RB81 and the RI1 flag
is set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF1 and RB81 will not be loaded and the RI1 flag will not be set. An inter-
rupt will occur if enabled when either TI1 or RI1 is set.
The baud rate generated in Mode 1 is a function of timer overflow, shown in Equation 21.1 and Equation 21.2.
UART1 can use Timer 1 operating in 8-Bit Auto-Reload Mode, or Timer 4 operating in Baud Rate Generator Mode to
generate the baud rate (note that the TX and RX clocks are selected separately). On each timer overflow event (a roll-
over from all ones - (0xFF for Timer 1, 0xFFFF for Timer 4) - to zero) a clock is sent to the baud rate logic.
Timer 4 is selected as TX and/or RX baud clock source by setting the TCLK1 (T4CON.4) and/or RCLK1 (T4CON.5)
bits, respectively (see Section 22. TIMERS on page 225 for complete timer configuration details). When either
TCLK1 or RCLK1 is set to logic 1, Timer 4 is forced into Baud Rate Generator Mode, with SYSCLK / 2 as its clock
source. If TCLK1 and/or RCLK1 is logic 0, Timer 1 acts as the baud clock source for the TX and/or RX circuits,
respectively.
The Mode 1 baud rate equations are shown below, where T1M is the Timer 1 Clock Select bit (register CKCON),
TH1 is the 8-bit reload register for Timer 1, SMOD1 is the UART1 baud rate doubler (register PCON), and
[RCAP4H , RCAP4L] is the 16-bit reload register for Timer 4.

21.1.3. Mode 2: 9-Bit UART, Fixed Baud Rate
Mode 2 provides asynchronous, full-duplex communication using a total of eleven bits per data byte: a start bit, 8 data
bits (LSB first), a programmable ninth data bit, and a stop bit. Mode 2 supports multiprocessor communications and
hardware address recognition (see Section 21.2. Multiprocessor Communications on page 220). On transmit,
the ninth data bit is determined by the value in TB81 (SCON1.3). It can be assigned the value of the parity flag P in
the PSW or used in multiprocessor communications. On receive, the ninth data bit goes into RB81 (SCON1.2) and
the stop bit is ignored.
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF1 register. The TI1 Transmit Interrupt
Flag (SCON1.1) is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin
any time after the REN1 Receive Enable bit (SCON1.4) is set to logic 1. After the stop bit is received, the data byte
will be loaded into the SBUF1 receive register if RI1 is logic 0 and one of the following requirements are met:
1. SM21 is logic 0
2. SM21 is logic 1, the received 9th bit is logic 1, and the received address matches the UART1 address as
described in Section 21.2.
If the above conditions are satisfied, the eight bits of data are stored in SBUF1, the ninth bit is stored in RB81 and the
RI1 flag is set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF1 and RB81 will not be loaded and the RI1 flag will not be set.
An interrupt will occur if enabled when either TI1 or RI1 is set.
The baud rate in Mode 2 is either SYSCLK / 32 or SYSCLK / 64, depending on the value of the SMOD1 bit in regis-
ter PCON.

Mode 3 uses the Mode 2 transmission protocol with the Mode 1 baud rate generation. Mode 3 operation transmits
11 bits: a start bit, 8 data bits (LSB first), a programmable ninth data bit, and a stop bit. The baud rate is derived from
Timer 1 or Timer 4 overflows, as defined by Equation 21.1 and Equation 21.2. Multiprocessor communications and
hardware address recognition are supported, as described in Section 21.2.

21.2. Multiprocessor Communications
Modes 2 and 3 support multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave processors
by special use of the ninth data bit and the built-in UART1 address recognition hardware. A master processor begins
a transfer with an address byte to select one or more target slave devices. An address byte differs from a data byte in
that its ninth bit is logic 1; in a data byte, the ninth bit is always set to logic 0.
The UART1 address is configured via two SFRs: SADDR1 (Serial Address) and SADEN1 (Serial Address Enable).
SADEN1 sets the bit mask for the address held in SADDR1: bits set to logic 1 in SADEN1 correspond to bits in
SADDR1 that are checked against the received address byte; bits set to logic 0 in SADEN1 correspond to dont
care bits in SADDR1.
Setting the SM21 bit (SCON1.5) configures UART1 such that when a stop bit is received, UART1 will generate an
interrupt only if the ninth bit is logic 1 (RB81 = 1) and the received data byte matches the UART1 slave address. Fol-
lowing the received address interrupt, the slave should clear its SM21 bit to enable interrupts on the reception of the
following data byte(s). Once the entire message is received, the addressed slave should reset its SM21 bit to ignore all
transmissions until it receives the next address byte. While SM21 is logic 1, UART1 ignores all bytes that do not
match the UART1 address and include a ninth bit that is logic 1.
Multiple addresses can be assigned to a single slave and/or a single address can be assigned to multiple slaves,
thereby enabling "broadcast" transmissions to more than one slave simultaneously. The broadcast address is the logi-
cal OR of registers SADDR1 and SADEN1, and 0s of the result are treated as dont cares. Typically a broadcast
address of 0xFF (hexadecimal) is acknowledged by all slaves, assuming dont care bits as 1s. The master proces-
sor can be configured to receive all transmissions or a protocol can be implemented such that the master/slave role is
temporarily reversed to enable half-duplex transmission between the original master and slave(s).
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
SADDR1 = 00110101 SADDR1 = 00110101 SADDR1 = 00110101
SADEN1 = 00001111 SADEN1 = 11110011 SADEN1 = 11000000

21.3. Frame and Transmission Error Detection
Frame error detection is available in the following modes when the SSTAT1 bit in register PCON is set to logic 1.
Note: The SSTAT1 bit must be logic 1 to access any of the status bits (FE1, RXOVR1, and TXCOL1). To access the
UART1 Mode Select bits (SM01, SM11, and SM21), the SSTAT1 bit must be logic 0.
All Modes:
The Transmit Collision bit (TXCOL1 bit in register SCON1) reads 1 if user software writes data to the SBUF1 reg-
ister while a transmit is in progress. Note that the TXCOL1 bit also functions as the SM21 bit when the SSTAT1 bit in
register PCON is logic 0.
Modes 1, 2, and 3:
The Receive Overrun bit (RXOVR1 in register SCON1) reads 1 if a new data byte is latched into the receive buffer
before software has read the previous byte. Note that the RXOVR1 bit also functions as the SM11 bit when the
SSTAT1 bit in register PCON is logic 0.
The Frame Error bit (FE1 in register SCON1) reads 1 if an invalid (low) STOP bit is detected. Note that the FE1 bit
also functions as the SM01 bit when the SSTAT1 bit in register PCON is logic 0.

22. TIMERS
The C8051F020/1/2/3 devices contain 5 counter/timers: three are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with those found
in the standard 8051, and two are 16-bit auto-reload timers for use with the ADCs, SMBus, UART1, or for general
purpose use. These can be used to measure time intervals, count external events and generate periodic interrupt
requests. Timer 0 and Timer 1 are nearly identical and have four primary modes of operation. Timer 2 offers addi-
tional capabilities not available in Timers 0 and 1. Timer 3 is similar to Timer 2, but without the capture or Baud Rate
Generator modes. Timer 4 is identical to Timer 2, and can supply baud-rate generation capabilities to UART1.
When functioning as a timer, the counter/timer registers are incremented on each clock tick. Clock ticks are derived
from the system clock divided by either one or twelve as specified by the Timer Clock Select bits (T4M-T0M) in
CKCON, shown in Figure 22.1. The twelve-clocks-per-tick option provides compatibility with the older generation
of the 8051 family. Applications that require a faster timer can use the one-clock-per-tick option.
When functioning as a counter, a counter/timer register is incremented on each high-to-low transition at the selected
input pin. Events with a frequency of up to one-fourth the system clock's frequency can be counted. The input signal
need not be periodic, but it should be held at a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure the level
is sampled.

22.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1
Timer 0 and Timer 1 are accessed and controlled through SFRs. Each counter/timer is implemented as a 16-bit regis-
ter accessed as two separate bytes: a low byte (TL0 or TL1) and a high byte (TH0 or TH1). The Counter/Timer Con-
trol (TCON) register is used to enable Timer 0 and Timer 1 as well as indicate their status. Both counter/timers
operate in one of four primary modes selected by setting the Mode Select bits M1-M0 in the Counter/Timer Mode
(TMOD) register. Each timer can be configured independently. Following is a detailed description of each operating
mode.
22.1.1. Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as a 13-bit counter/timer in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration and oper-
ation of Timer 0. However, both timers operate identically and Timer 1 is configured in the same manner as described
for Timer 0.
The TH0 register holds the eight MSBs of the 13-bit counter/timer. TL0 holds the five LSBs in bit positions TL0.4-
TL0.0. The three upper bits of TL0 (TL0.7-TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or ignored when read-
ing. As the 13-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to 0x0000, the timer overflow flag
TF0 (TCON.5) is set and an interrupt will occur if enabled.
The C/T0 bit (TMOD.2) selects the counter/timer's clock source. Clearing C/T selects the system clock as the input
for the timer. When C/T0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low transitions at the selected input pin (T0) increment the timer
register. (Refer to Section 17.1. Ports 0 through 3 and the Priority Crossbar Decoder on page 163 for informa-
tion on selecting and configuring external I/O pins for digital peripherals.)
Setting the TR0 bit (TCON.4) enables the timer when either GATE0 (TMOD.3) is 0 or the input signal /INT0 is
logic-level one. Setting GATE0 to logic 1 allows the timer to be controlled by the external input signal /INT0, facili-
tating pulse width measurements.
Setting TR0 does not reset the timer register. The timer register should be initialized to the desired value before
enabling the timer.
TL1 and TH1 form the 13-bit register for Timer 1 in the same manner as described above for TL0 and TH0. Timer 1
is configured and controlled using the relevant TCON and TMOD bits just as with Timer 0.

22.1.3. Mode 2: 8-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload
Mode 2 configures Timer 0 and Timer 1 to operate as 8-bit counter/timers with automatic reload of the start value.
The TL0 holds the count and TH0 holds the reload value. When the counter in TL0 overflows from all ones to 0x00,
the timer overflow flag TF0 (TCON.5) is set and the counter value in TL0 is reloaded from TH0. If enabled, an inter-
rupt will occur when the TF0 flag is set. The reload value in TH0 is not changed. TL0 must be initialized to the
desired value before enabling the timer for the first count to be correct. When in Mode 2, Timer 1 operates identically
to Timer 0. Both counter/timers are enabled and configured in Mode 2 in the same manner as Mode 0.

22.1.4. Mode 3: Two 8-bit Counter/Timers (Timer 0 Only)
Timer 0 and Timer 1 behave differently in Mode 3. Timer 0 is configured as two separate 8-bit counter/timers held in
TL0 and TH0. The counter/timer in TL0 is controlled using the Timer 0 control/status bits in TCON and TMOD:
TR0, C/T0, GATE0 and TF0. It can use either the system clock or an external input signal as its timebase. The timer
in the TH0 register is restricted to a timer function sourced by the system clock. TH0 is enabled using the Timer 1 run
control bit TR1. TH0 sets the Timer 1 overflow flag TF1 on overflow and thus controls the Timer 1 interrupt.
Timer 1 is inactive in Mode 3, so with Timer 0 in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned off and on by switching it into and
out of its Mode 3. When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be operated in Modes 0, 1 or 2, but cannot be clocked by
external signals nor set the TF1 flag and generate an interrupt. However, the Timer 1 overflow can be used to gener-
ate the baud clock for UART0 and/or UART1. Refer to Section 20. UART0 on page 205 and Section
21. UART1 on page 215 for information on configuring Timer 1 for baud rate generation.

22.1. Timer 2
Timer 2 is a 16-bit counter/timer formed by the two 8-bit SFRs: TL2 (low byte) and TH2 (high byte). As with
Timers 0 and 1, Timer 2 can use either the system clock or transitions on an external input pin (T2) as its clock
source. The Counter/Timer Select bit C/T2 bit (T2CON.1) selects the clock source for Timer 2. Clearing C/T2 selects
the system clock as the input for the timer (divided by either one or twelve as specified by the Timer Clock Select bit
T2M in CKCON). When C/T2 is set to 1, high-to-low transitions at the T2 input pin increment the counter/timer reg-
ister. (Refer to Section 17.1. Ports 0 through 3 and the Priority Crossbar Decoder on page 163 for information on
selecting and configuring external I/O pins for digital peripherals.) Timer 2 can also be used to start an ADC Data
Conversion.
Timer 2 offers capabilities not found in Timer 0 and Timer 1. It operates in one of three modes: 16-bit Counter/Timer
with Capture, 16-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload or Baud Rate Generator Mode. Timer 2's operating mode is
selected by setting configuration bits in the Timer 2 Control register (T2CON). Below is a summary of the Timer 2
operating modes and the T2CON bits used to configure the counter/timer. Detailed descriptions of each mode follow.
RCLK0 TCLK0 CP/RL2 TR2 Mode

0 0 0 1 16-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload

Rev. 1.4 235
22.1.1. Mode 0: 16-bit Counter/Timer with Capture
In this mode, Timer 2 operates as a 16-bit counter/timer with capture facility. A high-to-low transition on the T2EX
input pin causes the following to occur:
1. The 16-bit value in Timer 2 (TH2, TL2) is loaded into the capture registers (RCAP2H, RCAP2L).
2. The Timer 2 External Flag (EXF2) is set to 1.
3. A Timer 2 interrupt is generated if enabled.
Timer 2 can use either SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or high-to-low transitions on the T2 input pin as its clock
source when operating in Capture mode. Clearing the C/T2 bit (T2CON.1) selects the system clock as the input for
the timer (divided by one or twelve as specified by the Timer Clock Select bit T2M in CKCON). When C/T2 is set to
logic 1, a high-to-low transition at the T2 input pin increments the counter/timer register. As the 16-bit counter/timer
register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the TF2 timer overflow flag (T2CON.7) is set and an
interrupt will occur if the interrupt is enabled.
Counter/Timer with Capture mode is selected by setting the Capture/Reload Select bit CP/RL2 (T2CON.0) and the
Timer 2 Run Control bit TR2 (T2CON.2) to logic 1. The Timer 2 External Enable EXEN2 (T2CON.3) must also be
set to logic 1 to enable a capture. If EXEN2 is cleared, transitions on T2EX will be ignored.

22.1.2. Mode 1: 16-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload
The Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload mode sets the TF2 timer overflow flag when the counter/timer register over-
flows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. An interrupt is generated if enabled. On overflow, the 16-bit value held in the two
capture registers (RCAP2H, RCAP2L) is automatically loaded into the counter/timer register and the timer is
restarted.
Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload mode is selected by clearing the CP/RL2 bit. Setting TR2 to logic 1 enables and
starts the timer. Timer 2 can use either the system clock or transitions on an external input pin (T2) as its clock source,
as specified by the C/T2 bit. If EXEN2 is set to logic 1, a high-to-low transition on T2EX will also cause a Timer 2
reload, and a Timer 2 interrupt if enabled. If EXEN2 is logic 0, transitions on T2EX will be ignored.

22.1.3. Mode 2: Baud Rate Generator
Timer 2 can be used as a baud rate generator for UART0 when UART0 is operated in modes 1 or 3 (refer to Section
20.1. UART0 Operational Modes on page 206 for more information on the UART0 operational modes). In Baud
Rate Generator mode, Timer 2 works similarly to the auto-reload mode. On overflow, the 16-bit value held in the two
capture registers (RCAP2H, RCAP2L) is automatically loaded into the counter/timer register. However, the TF2
overflow flag is not set and no interrupt is generated. Instead, the overflow event is used as the input to the UART's
shift clock. Timer 2 overflows can be selected to generate baud rates for transmit and/or receive independently.
The Baud Rate Generator mode is selected by setting RCLK0 (T2CON.5) and/or TCLK0 (T2CON.2) to 1. When
RCLK0 or TCLK0 is set to logic 1, Timer 2 operates in the auto-reload mode regardless of the state of the CP/RL2
bit. Note that in Baud Rate Generator mode, the Timer 2 timebase is the system clock divided by two. When selected
as the UART0 baud clock source, Timer 2 defines the UART0 baud rate as follows:
Baud Rate = SYSCLK / ((65536 - [RCAP2H, RCAP2L] ) * 32)
If a different time base is required, setting the C/T2 bit to logic 1 will allow the timebase to be derived from the exter-
nal input pin T2. In this case, the baud rate for the UART is calculated as:
Baud Rate = F
CLK
/ ( (65536 - [RCAP2H, RCAP2L] ) * 16)
Where F
CLK
is the frequency of the signal (TCLK) supplied to Timer 2 and [RCAP2H, RCAP2L] is the 16-bit value
held in the capture registers.
As explained above, in Baud Rate Generator mode, Timer 2 does not set the TF2 overflow flag and therefore cannot
generate an interrupt. However, if EXEN2 is set to logic 1, a high-to-low transition on the T2EX input pin will set the
EXF2 flag and a Timer 2 interrupt will occur if enabled. Therefore, the T2EX input may be used as an additional
external interrupt source.

22.2. Timer 3
Timer 3 is a 16-bit timer formed by the two 8-bit SFRs, TMR3L (low byte) and TMR3H (high byte). Timer 3 may be
clocked by the external oscillator source (divided by eight) or the system clock (divided by either one or twelve as
specified by the Timer 3 Clock Select bit T3M in the Timer 3 Control Register TMR3CN). Timer 3 is always config-
ured as an auto-reload timer, with the reload value held in the TMR3RLL (low byte) and TMR3RLH (high byte) reg-
isters.
The Timer 3 external clock source feature offers a real-time clock (RTC) mode. When bit T3XCLK (TMR3CN.0) is
set to logic 1, Timer 3 is clocked by the external oscillator input (divided by 8) regardless of the system clock selec-
tion. This split clock domain allows Timer 3 to be clocked by a precision external source while the system clock is
derived from the high-speed internal oscillator. When T3XCLK is logic 0, the Timer 3 clock source is specified by bit
T3M (TMR3CN.1).
Timer 3 can also be used to start an ADC Data Conversion, for SMBus timing (see Section 18. SYSTEM MAN-
AGEMENT BUS / I2C BUS (SMBUS0) on page 183), or as a general-purpose timer. Timer 3 does not have a coun-
ter mode.

22.3. Timer 4
Timer 4 is a 16-bit counter/timer formed by the two 8-bit SFRs: TL4 (low byte) and TH4 (high byte). As with
Timers 0 and 1, Timer 4 can use either the system clock or transitions on an external input pin (T4) as its clock
source. The Counter/Timer Select bit C/T4 bit (T4CON.1) selects the clock source for Timer 4. Clearing C/T4 selects
the system clock as the input for the timer (divided by either one or twelve as specified by the Timer Clock Select bit
T4M in CKCON). When C/T4 is set to 1, high-to-low transitions at the T4 input pin increment the counter/timer reg-
ister. Refer to Section 17.1. Ports 0 through 3 and the Priority Crossbar Decoder on page 163 for information on
selecting and configuring external I/O pins for digital peripherals.
Timer 4 offers capabilities not found in Timer 0 and Timer 1. It operates in one of three modes: 16-bit Counter/Timer
with Capture, 16-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload or Baud Rate Generator Mode. Timer 4's operating mode is
selected by setting configuration bits in the Timer 4 Control register (T4CON). Below is a summary of the Timer 4
operating modes and the T4CON bits used to configure the counter/timer. Detailed descriptions of each mode follow.

0 0 0 1 16-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload

X X X 0 Off

244 Rev. 1.4
22.3.1. Mode 0: 16-bit Counter/Timer with Capture
In this mode, Timer 4 operates as a 16-bit counter/timer with capture facility. A high-to-low transition on the T4EX
input pin causes the following to occur:
1. The 16-bit value in Timer 4 (TH4, TL4) is loaded into the capture registers (RCAP4H, RCAP4L).
2. The Timer 4 External Flag (EXF2) is set to 1.
3. A Timer 4 interrupt is generated if enabled.
Timer 4 can use either SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or high-to-low transitions on the T4 input pin as its clock
source when operating in Capture mode. Clearing the C/T4 bit (T4CON.1) selects the system clock as the input for
the timer (divided by one or twelve as specified by the Timer Clock Select bit T4M in CKCON). When C/T4 is set to
logic 1, a high-to-low transition at the T4 input pin increments the counter/timer register. As the 16-bit counter/timer
register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the TF4 timer overflow flag (T4CON.7) is set and an
interrupt will occur if the interrupt is enabled.
Counter/Timer with Capture mode is selected by setting the Capture/Reload Select bit CP/RL4 (T4CON.0) and the
Timer 4 Run Control bit TR4 (T4CON.2) to logic 1. The Timer 4 External Enable EXEN4 (T4CON.3) must also be
set to logic 1 to enable a capture. If EXEN4 is cleared, transitions on T4EX will be ignored.

22.3.2. Mode 1: 16-bit Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload
The Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload mode sets the TF4 timer overflow flag when the counter/timer register over-
flows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000. An interrupt is generated if enabled. On overflow, the 16-bit value held in the two
capture registers (RCAP4H, RCAP4L) is automatically loaded into the counter/timer register and the timer is
restarted.
Counter/Timer with Auto-Reload mode is selected by clearing the CP/RL4 bit. Setting TR4 to logic 1 enables and
starts the timer. Timer 4 can use either the system clock or transitions on an external input pin (T2) as its clock source,
as specified by the C/T4 bit. If EXEN4 is set to logic 1, a high-to-low transition on T4EX will also cause a Timer 4
reload, and a Timer 4 interrupt if enabled. If EXEN4 is logic 0, transitions on T4EX will be ignored.

22.3.3. Mode 2: Baud Rate Generator
Timer 4 can be used as a baud rate generator for UART1 when UART1 is operated in modes 1 or 3 (refer to Section
21.1. UART1 Operational Modes on page 216 for more information on the UART1 operational modes). In Baud
Rate Generator mode, Timer 4 works similarly to the auto-reload mode. On overflow, the 16-bit value held in the two
capture registers (RCAP4H, RCAP4L) is automatically loaded into the counter/timer register. However, the TF4
overflow flag is not set and no interrupt is generated. Instead, the overflow event is used as the input to the UART's
shift clock. Timer 4 overflows can be selected to generate baud rates for transmit and/or receive independently.
The Baud Rate Generator mode is selected by setting RCLK1 (T4CON.5) and/or TCLK1 (T4CON.4) to 1. When
RCLK1 or TCLK1 is set to logic 1, Timer 4 operates in the auto-reload mode regardless of the state of the CP/RL4
bit. Note that in Baud Rate Generator mode, the Timer 4 timebase is the system clock divided by two. When selected
as the UART1 baud clock source, Timer 4 defines the UART1 baud rate as follows:
Baud Rate = SYSCLK / ((65536 - [RCAP4H, RCAP4L] ) * 32)
If a different time base is required, setting the C/T4 bit to logic 1 will allow the timebase to be derived from the exter-
nal input pin T4. In this case, the baud rate for the UART is calculated as:
Baud Rate = F
CLK
/ ( (65536 - [RCAP4H, RCAP4L] ) * 16)
Where F
CLK
is the frequency of the signal (TCLK) supplied to Timer 4 and [RCAP4H, RCAP4L] is the 16-bit value
held in the capture registers.
As explained above, in Baud Rate Generator mode, Timer 4 does not set the TF4 overflow flag and therefore cannot
generate an interrupt. However, if EXEN4 is set to logic 1, a high-to-low transition on the T4EX input pin will set the
EXF4 flag and a Timer 4 interrupt will occur if enabled. Therefore, the T4EX input may be used as an additional
external interrupt source.

23. PROGRAMMABLE COUNTER ARRAY
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides enhanced timer functionality while requiring less CPU interven-
tion than the standard 8051 counter/timers. PCA0 consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer and five 16-bit capture/
compare modules. Each capture/compare module has its own associated I/O line (CEXn) which is routed through the
Crossbar to Port I/O when enabled (See Section 17.1. Ports 0 through 3 and the Priority Crossbar Decoder on
page 163). The counter/timer is driven by a programmable timebase that can select between six inputs as its source:
system clock, system clock divided by four, system clock divided by twelve, the external oscillator clock source
divided by 8, Timer 0 overflow, or an external clock signal on the ECI line. Each capture/compare module may be
configured to operate independently in one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software Timer, High-Speed Out-
put, Frequency Output, 8-Bit PWM, or 16-Bit PWM (each is described in Section 23.2). The PCA is configured and
controlled through the system controller's Special Function Registers. The basic PCA block diagram is shown in
Figure 23.1.

23.1. PCA Counter/Timer
The 16-bit PCA counter/timer consists of two 8-bit SFRs: PCA0L and PCA0H. PCA0H is the high byte (MSB) of the
16-bit counter/timer and PCA0L is the low byte (LSB). Reading PCA0L automatically latches the value of PCA0H
into a snapshot register; the following PCA0H read accesses this snapshot register. Reading the PCA0L Register
first guarantees an accurate reading of the entire 16-bit PCA0 counter. Reading PCA0H or PCA0L does not disturb
the counter operation. The CPS2-CPS0 bits in the PCA0MD register select the timebase for the counter/timer as
shown in Table 23.1. Note that in External oscillator source divided by 8 mode, the external oscillator source
is synchronized with the system clock, and must have a frequency less than or equal to the system clock.
When the counter/timer overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the Counter Overflow Flag (CF) in PCA0MD is set to
logic 1 and an interrupt request is generated if CF interrupts are enabled. Setting the ECF bit in PCA0MD to logic 1
enables the CF flag to generate an interrupt request. The CF bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the
CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by software (Note: PCA0 interrupts must be glob-
ally enabled before CF interrupts are recognized. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by setting the EA bit (IE.7)
and the EPCA0 bit in EIE1 to logic 1). Clearing the CIDL bit in the PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue
normal operation while the CPU is in Idle mode.

Important Note About the PCA0CN Register: If the main PCA counter (PCA0H : PCA0L) overflows during the
execution phase of a read-modify-write instruction (bit-wise SETB or CLR, ANL, ORL, XRL) that targets the
PCA0CN register, the CF (Counter Overflow) bit will not be set. The following steps should be taken when perform-
ing a bit-wise operation on the PCA0CN register:
Step 1. Disable global interrupts (EA = 0).
Step 2. Read PCA0L. This will latch the value of PCA0H.
Step 3. Read PCA0H, saving the value.
Step 4. Execute the bit-wise operation on CCFn (for example, CLR CCF0, or CCF0 = 0;).
Step 5. Read PCA0L.
Step 6. Read PCA0H, saving the value.
Step 7. If the value of PCA0H read in Step 3 is 0xFF and the value for PCA0H read in Step 6 is 0x00, then
manually set the CF bit in software (for example, SETB CF, or CF = 1;).
Step 8. Re-enable interrupts (EA = 1).

23.2. Capture/Compare Modules
Each module can be configured to operate independently in one of six operation modes: Edge-triggered Capture,
Software Timer, High Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator, or 16-Bit Pulse Width Modu-
lator. Each module has Special Function Registers (SFRs) associated with it in the CIP-51 system controller. These
registers are used to exchange data with a module and configure the module's mode of operation.
Table 23.2 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn registers used to select the PCA0 capture/compare mod-
ules operating modes. Setting the ECCFn bit in a PCA0CPMn register enables the module's CCFn interrupt. Note:
PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before individual CCFn interrupts are recognized. PCA0 interrupts are
globally enabled by setting the EA bit (IE.7) and the EPCA0 bit (EIE1.3) to logic 1. See Figure 23.3 for details on the
PCA interrupt configuration.

23.2.1. Edge-triggered Capture Mode
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes PCA0 to capture the value of the PCA0 counter/timer and
load it into the corresponding module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPLn and PCA0CPHn). The CAPPn
and CAPNn bits in the PCA0CPMn register are used to select the type of transition that triggers the capture: low-to-
high transition (positive edge), high-to-low transition (negative edge), or either transition (positive or negative edge).
When a capture occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in PCA0CN is set to logic 1 and an interrupt request is
generated if CCF interrupts are enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by hardware when the CPU vec-
tors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by software.
Note: The CEXn input signal must remain high or low for at least 2 system clock cycles in order to be valid.

23.2.2. Software Timer (Compare) Mode
In Software Timer mode, the PCA0 counter/timer is compared to the module's 16-bit capture/compare register
(PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn). When a match occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in PCA0CN is set to logic
1 and an interrupt request is generated if CCF interrupts are enabled. The CCFn bit is not automatically cleared by
hardware when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine, and must be cleared by software. Setting the ECOMn
and MATn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables Software Timer mode.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to
PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.

23.2.3. High Speed Output Mode
In High Speed Output mode, a modules associated CEXn pin is toggled each time a match occurs between the PCA
Counter and the module's 16-bit capture/compare register (PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn) Setting the TOGn, MATn,
and ECOMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables the High-Speed Output mode.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to

23.2.4. Frequency Output Mode
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the modules associated CEXn pin.
The capture/compare module high byte holds the number of PCA clocks to count before the output is toggled. The
frequency of the square wave is then defined by Equation 23.1.
Note: A value of 0x00 in the PCA0CPHn register is equal to 256 for this equation.
Where F
PCA
is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS2-0 bits in the PCA mode register, PCA0MD. The
lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA0 counter low byte; on a match, CEXn is toggled
and the offset held in the high byte is added to the matched value in PCA0CPLn. Frequency Output Mode is enabled
by setting the ECOMn, TOGn, and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register.

23.2.5. 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode
Each module can be used independently to generate pulse width modulated (PWM) outputs on its associated CEXn
pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA0 counter/timer. The duty cycle of the
PWM output signal is varied using the module's PCA0CPLn capture/compare register. When the value in the low
byte of the PCA0 counter/timer (PCA0L) is equal to the value in PCA0CPLn, the output on the CEXn pin will be
asserted high. When the count value in PCA0L overflows, the CEXn output will be asserted low (see Figure 23.8).
Also, when the counter/timer low byte (PCA0L) overflows from 0xFF to 0x00, PCA0CPLn is reloaded automatically
with the value stored in the counter/timer's high byte (PCA0H) without software intervention. Setting the ECOMn
and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator mode. The duty cycle for 8-Bit
PWM Mode is given by Equation 23.2.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to
PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1.
Using Equation 23.2, the largest duty cycle is 100% (PCA0CPHn = 0), and the smallest duty cycle is 0.39%
(PCA0CPHn = 0xFF). A 0% duty cycle may be generated by clearing the ECOMn bit to 0.

23.2.6. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode
Each PCA0 module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. In this mode, the 16-bit capture/compare module
defines the number of PCA0 clocks for the low time of the PWM signal. When the PCA0 counter matches the module
contents, the output on CEXn is asserted high; when the counter overflows, CEXn is asserted low. To output a vary-
ing duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with PCA0 CCFn match interrupts. 16-Bit PWM Mode is
enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a varying duty cycle,
CCFn should also be set to logic 1 to enable match interrupts. The duty cycle for 16-Bit PWM Mode is given by
Equation 23.3.
Important Note About Capture/Compare Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0 Capture/Compare
registers, the low byte should always be written first. Writing to PCA0CPLn clears the ECOMn bit to 0; writing to
PCA0CPHn sets ECOMn to 1
Using Equation 23.3, the largest duty cycle is 100% (PCA0CPn = 0), and the smallest duty cycle is 0.0015%
(PCA0CPn = 0xFFFF). A 0% duty cycle may be generated by clearing the ECOMn bit to 0.

24. JTAG (IEEE 1149.1)
Each MCU has an on-chip JTAG interface and logic to support boundary scan for production and in-system testing,
Flash read/write operations, and non-intrusive in-circuit debug. The JTAG interface is fully compliant with the IEEE
1149.1 specification. Refer to this specification for detailed descriptions of the Test Interface and Boundary-Scan
Architecture. Access of the JTAG Instruction Register (IR) and Data Registers (DR) are as described in the Test
Access Port and Operation of the IEEE 1149.1 specification.
The JTAG interface is accessed via four dedicated pins on the MCU: TCK, TMS, TDI, and TDO.
Through the 16-bit JTAG Instruction Register (IR), any of the seven instructions shown in Figure 24.1 can be com-
manded. There are three DRs associated with JTAG Boundary-Scan, and four associated with Flash read/write oper-
ations on the MCU.

24.2. Flash Programming Commands
The Flash memory can be programmed directly over the JTAG interface using the Flash Control, Flash Data, Flash
Address, and Flash Scale registers. These Indirect Data Registers are accessed via the JTAG Instruction Register.
Read and write operations on indirect data registers are performed by first setting the appropriate DR address in the
IR register. Each read or write is then initiated by writing the appropriate Indirect Operation Code (IndOpCode) to the
selected data register. Incoming commands to this register have the following format:
IndOpCode: These bit set the operation to perform according to the following table:
The Poll operation is used to check the Busy bit as described below. Although a Capture-DR is performed, no
Update-DR is allowed for the Poll operation. Since updates are disabled, polling can be accomplished by shifting in/
out a single bit.
The Read operation initiates a read from the register addressed by the DRAddress. Reads can be initiated by shifting
only 2 bits into the indirect register. After the read operation is initiated, polling of the Busy bit must be performed to
determine when the operation is complete.
The write operation initiates a write of WriteData to the register addressed by DRAddress. Registers of any width up
to 18 bits can be written. If the register to be written contains fewer than 18 bits, the data in WriteData should be left-
justified, i.e. its MSB should occupy bit 17 above. This allows shorter registers to be written in fewer JTAG clock
cycles. For example, an 8-bit register could be written by shifting only 10 bits. After a Write is initiated, the Busy bit
should be polled to determine when the next operation can be initiated. The contents of the Instruction Register
should not be altered while either a read or write operation is busy.
Outgoing data from the indirect Data Register has the following format:
The Busy bit indicates that the current operation is not complete. It goes high when an operation is initiated and
returns low when complete. Read and Write commands are ignored while Busy is high. In fact, if polling for Busy to
be low will be followed by another read or write operation, JTAG writes of the next operation can be made while
checking for Busy to be low. They will be ignored until Busy is read low, at which time the new operation will initi-
ate. This bit is placed ate bit 0 to allow polling by single-bit shifts. When waiting for a Read to complete and Busy is
0, the following 18 bits can be shifted out to obtain the resulting data. ReadData is always right-justified. This allows
registers shorter than 18 bits to be read using a reduced number of shifts. For example, the results from a byte-read
requires 9 bit shifts (Busy + 8 bits).

Figure 24.3. FLASHCON: JTAG Flash Control Register
This register determines how the Flash interface logic will respond to reads and writes to the FLASHDAT
Register.
Bit7: SFLE: Scratchpad FLASH Memory Access Enable.
When this bit is set, FLASH reads and writes are directed to the 128-byte Scratchpad FLASH sector.
When SFLE is set to logic 1, FLASH accesses out of the address range 0x00-0x7F should not be
attempted. Reads/Writes out of this range will yield unpredictable results.
0: FLASH access directed to the 64k byte Program/Data FLASH sector.
1: FLASH access directed to the 128 byte Scratchpad sector.
Bits6-4: WRMD2-0: Write Mode Select Bits.
The Write Mode Select Bits control how the interface logic responds to writes to the FLASHDAT
Register per the following values:
000: A FLASHDAT write replaces the data in the FASHDAT register, but is otherwise ignored.
001: A FLASHDAT write initiates a write of FLASHDAT into the memory address by the
FLASHADR register. FLASHADR is incremented by one when complete.
010: A FLASHDAT write initiates an erasure (sets all bytes to 0xFF) of the Flash page containing
the address in FLASHADR. The data written must be 0xA5 for the erase to occur.
FLASHADR is not affected. If FLASHADR = 0x7DFE - 0x7DFF, the entire user space will
be erased (i.e. entire Flash memory except for Reserved area 0x7E00 - 0x7FFF).
(All other values for WRMD3-0 are reserved.)
Bits3-0: RDMD3-0: Read Mode Select Bits.
The Read Mode Select Bits control how the interface logic responds to reads to the FLASHDAT Reg-
ister per the following values:
0000: A FLASHDAT read provides the data in the FASHDAT register, but is otherwise ignored.
0001: A FLASHDAT read initiates a read of the byte addressed by the FLASHADR register if no
operation is currently active. This mode is used for block reads.
0010: A FLASHDAT read initiates a read of the byte addressed by FLASHADR only if no
operation is active and any data from a previous read has already been read from
FLASHDAT. This mode allows single bytes to be read (or the last byte of a block) without
initiating an extra read.
(All other values for RDMD3-0 are reserved.)

24.3. Debug Support
Each MCU has on-chip JTAG and debug logic that provides non-intrusive, full speed, in-circuit debug support using
the production part installed in the end application, via the four pin JTAG I/F. Silicon Labs' debug system supports
inspection and modification of memory and registers, breakpoints, and single stepping. No additional target RAM,
program memory, or communications channels are required. All the digital and analog peripherals are functional and
work correctly (remain synchronized) while debugging. The Watchdog Timer (WDT) is disabled when the MCU is
halted during single stepping or at a breakpoint.
The C8051F020DK is a development kit with all the hardware and software necessary to develop application code
and perform in-circuit debug with each MCU in the C8051F020 family. Each kit includes an Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) which has a debugger and integrated 8051 assembler. The kit also includes an RS-232 to JTAG
interface module referred to as the Serial Adapter, a target application board with a C8051F020 installed, RS-232 and
JTAG cables, and wall-mount power supply.
