functions increases supply current by the specified amount.  
2. Includes supply current from internal regulator, supply monitor, and High Frequency Oscillator  
3. Includes supply current from internal regulator, supply monitor, and Low Frequency Oscillator  
4. ADC0 always-on power excludes internal reference supply current  
5. The internal reference is enabled as-needed when operating the ADC in burst mode to save power.

Notes:  
1. Currents are additive. For example, where I  
is specified and the mode is not mutually exclusive, enabling the  
DD  
functions increases supply current by the specified amount.  
2. Includes supply current from internal regulator, supply monitor, and High Frequency Oscillator  
3. Includes supply current from internal regulator, supply monitor, and Low Frequency Oscillator  
4. ADC0 always-on power excludes internal reference supply current  
5. The internal reference is enabled as-needed when operating the ADC in burst mode to save power.

C8051F85x/86x  
2. System Overview  
The C8051F85x/86x device family are fully integrated, mixed-signal system-on-a-chip MCUs. Highlighted features  
are listed below. Refer to Table 4.1 for specific product feature selection and part ordering numbers.  
Core:  
Pipelined CIP-51 Core  
Fully compatible with standard 8051 instruction set  
70% of instructions execute in 1-2 clock cycles  
25 MHz maximum operating frequency  
Memory:  
2-8 kB flash; in-system programmable in 512-byte sectors  
512 bytes RAM (including 256 bytes standard 8051 RAM and 256 bytes on-chip XRAM)  
Power:  
Internal low drop-out (LDO) regulator for CPU core voltage  
Power-on reset circuit and brownout detectors  
I/O: Up to 18 total multifunction I/O pins:  
All pins 5 V tolerant under bias  
Flexible peripheral crossbar for peripheral routing  
5 mA source, 12.5 mA sink allows direct drive of LEDs  
Clock Sources:  
Low-power internal oscillator: 24.5 MHz ±2%  
Low-frequency internal oscillator: 80 kHz  
External CMOS clock option  
Timers/Counters and PWM:  
3-channel Programmable Counter Array (PCA) supporting PWM, capture/compare and frequency output modes  
4x 16-bit general-purpose timers  
Independent watchdog timer, clocked from low frequency oscillator  
Communications and Other Digital Peripherals:  
UART  
SPI™  
I2C / SMBus™  
16-bit CRC Unit, supporting automatic CRC of flash at 256-byte boundaries  
Analog:  
12-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)  
2 x Low-Current Comparators  
On-Chip Debugging  
With on-chip power-on reset, voltage supply monitor, watchdog timer, and clock oscillator, the C8051F85x/86x  
devices are truly standalone system-on-a-chip solutions. The flash memory is reprogrammable in-circuit, providing  
non-volatile data storage and allowing field upgrades of the firmware.  
The on-chip debugging interface (C2) allows non-intrusive (uses no on-chip resources), full speed, in-circuit  
debugging using the production MCU installed in the final application. This debug logic supports inspection and  
modification of memory and registers, setting breakpoints, single stepping, and run and halt commands. All analog  
and digital peripherals are fully functional while debugging.  
Each device is specified for 2.2 to 3.6 V operation, and are available in 20-pin QFN, 16-pin SOIC or 24-pin QSOP  
packages. All package options are lead-free and RoHS compliant. The device is available in two temperature  
grades: -40 to +85 °C or –40 to +125 °C. See Table 4.1 for ordering information. A block diagram is included in  
Figure 2.1.

2.1. Power  
2.1.1. LDO  
The C8051F85x/86x devices include an internal regulator to regulate the supply voltage down the core operating  
voltage of 1.8 V. This LDO consumes little power, but can be shut down in the power-saving Stop mode.  
2.1.2. Voltage Supply Monitor (VMON0)  
The C8051F85x/86x devices include a voltage supply monitor which allows devices to function in known, safe  
operating condition without the need for external hardware.  
The supply monitor module includes the following features:  
Holds the device in reset if the main VDD supply drops below the VDD Reset threshold.  
2.1.3. Device Power Modes  
The C8051F85x/86x devices feature three low power modes in addition to normal operating mode, allowing the  
designer to save power when the core is not in use. All power modes are detailed in Table 2.1.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
2.1.3.1. Normal Mode  
Normal mode encompasses the typical full-speed operation. The power consumption of the device in this mode will  
vary depending on the system clock speed and any analog peripherals that are enabled.  
2.1.3.2. Idle Mode  
Setting the IDLE bit in PCON causes the hardware to halt the CPU and enter idle mode as soon as the instruction  
that sets the bit completes execution. 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 is asserted or a reset occurs. The assertion of an enabled  
interrupt will cause the IDLE bit 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.  
2.1.3.3. Stop Mode (Regulator On)  
Setting the STOP bit in PCON when STOPCF in REG0CN is clear causes the controller core to enter stop mode as  
soon as the instruction that sets the bit completes execution. In stop mode the internal oscillator, CPU, and all  
digital peripherals are stopped. Each analog peripheral may be shut down individually prior to entering stop mode.  
Stop mode can only be terminated by an internal or external reset.  
2.1.3.4. Shutdown Mode (Regulator Off)  
Shutdown mode is an extension of the normal stop mode operation. Setting the STOP bit in PCON when STOPCF  
in REG0CN is also set causes the controller core to enter shutdown mode as soon as the instruction that sets the  
bit completes execution, and then the internal regulator is powered down. In shutdown mode, all core functions,  
memories and peripherals are powered off. An external pin reset or power-on reset is required to exit shutdown  
mode.  
2.2. I/O  
2.2.1. General Features  
The C8051F85x/86x ports have the following features:  
Push-pull or open-drain output modes and analog or digital modes.  
Port Match allows the device to recognize a change on a port pin value and wake from idle mode or  
generate an interrupt.  
Internal pull-up resistors can be globally enabled or disabled.  
Two external interrupts provide unique interrupt vectors for monitoring time-critical events.  
Above-rail tolerance allows 5 V interface when device is powered.  
2.2.2. Crossbar  
The C8051F85x/86x devices have a digital peripheral crossbar with the following features:  
Flexible peripheral assignment to port pins.  
Pins can be individually skipped to move peripherals as needed for design or layout considerations.  
The crossbar has a fixed priority for each I/O function and assigns these functions to the port pins. When a digital  
resource is selected, the least-significant unassigned port pin is assigned to that resource. If a port pin is assigned,  
the crossbar skips that pin when assigning the next selected resource. Additionally, the crossbar will skip port pins  
whose associated bits in the PnSKIP registers are set. This provides some flexibility when designing a system: pins  
involved with sensitive analog measurements can be moved away from digital I/O and peripherals can be moved  
around the chip as needed to ease layout constraints.

C8051F85x/86x  
2.3. Clocking  
The C8051F85x/86x devices have two internal oscillators and the option to use an external CMOS input at a pin as  
the system clock. A programmable divider allows the user to internally run the system clock at a slower rate than  
the selected oscillator if desired.  
2.4. Counters/Timers and PWM  
2.4.1. Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)  
The C8051F85x/86x devices include a three-channel, 16-bit Programmable Counter Array with the following  
features:  
16-bit time base.  
Programmable clock divisor and clock source selection.  
Three independently-configurable channels.  
8, 9, 10, 11 and 16-bit PWM modes (center or edge-aligned operation).  
Output polarity control.  
Frequency output mode.  
Capture on rising, falling or any edge.  
Compare function for arbitrary waveform generation.  
Software timer (internal compare) mode.  
Can accept hardware “kill” signal from comparator 0.  
2.4.2. Timers (Timer 0, Timer 1, Timer 2 and Timer 3)  
Timers include the following features:  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 are standard 8051 timers, supporting backwards-compatibility with firmware and  
hardware.  
Timer 2 and Timer 3 can each operate as 16-bit auto-reload or two independent 8-bit auto-reload timers,  
and include pin or LFO clock capture capabilities.  
2.4.3. Watchdog Timer (WDT0)  
The watchdog timer includes a 16-bit timer with a programmable reset period. The registers are protected from  
inadvertent access by an independent lock and key interface.  
The Watchdog Timer has the following features:  
Programmable timeout interval.  
Runs from the low frequency oscillator.  
Lock-out feature to prevent any modification until a system reset.

2.5. Communications and other Digital Peripherals  
2.5.1. Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART0)  
The UART uses two signals (TX and RX) and a predetermined fixed baud rate to provide asynchronous  
communications with other devices.  
The UART module provides the following features:  
Asynchronous transmissions and receptions.  
Baud rates up to SYSCLK / 2 (transmit) or SYSCLK / 8 (receive).  
8 or 9 bit data.  
Automatic start and stop generation.  
2.5.2. Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI0)  
SPI is a 3- or 4-wire communication interface that includes a clock, input data, output data, and an optional select  
signal.  
The SPI module includes the following features:  
Supports 3- or 4-wire master or slave modes.  
Supports external clock frequencies up to SYSCLK / 2 in master mode and SYSCLK / 10 in slave mode.  
Support for all clock phase and polarity modes.  
8-bit programmable clock rate.  
Support for multiple masters on the same data lines.  
2.5.3. System Management Bus / I2C (SMBus0)  
The SMBus interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus compatible with both I2C and SMBus protocols. The  
two clock and data signals operate in open-drain mode with external pull-ups to support automatic bus arbitration.  
Reads and writes to the interface are byte oriented with the SMBus interface autonomously controlling the serial  
transfer of the data. Data can be transferred at up to 1/8th of the system clock as a master or slave, which can be  
faster than allowed by the SMBus / I2C specification, depending on the clock source used. A method of extending  
the clock-low duration is available to accommodate devices with different speed capabilities on the same bus.  
The SMBus interface may operate as a master and/or slave, and may function on a bus with multiple masters. The  
SMBus provides control of SDA (serial data), SCL (serial clock) generation and synchronization, arbitration logic,  
and start/stop control and generation.  
The SMBus module includes the following features:  
Standard (up to 100 kbps) and Fast (400 kbps) transfer speeds.  
Support for master, slave, and multi-master modes.  
Hardware synchronization and arbitration for multi-master mode.  
Clock low extending (clock stretching) to interface with faster masters.  
Hardware support for 7-bit slave and general call address recognition.  
Firmware support for 10-bit slave address decoding.  
Ability to inhibit all slave states.  
Programmable data setup/hold times.  
2.5.4. 16/32-bit CRC (CRC0)  
The CRC module is designed to provide hardware calculations for flash memory verification and communications  
protocols. The CRC module supports the standard CCITT-16 16-bit polynomial (0x1021), and includes the  
following features:  
Support for four CCITT-16 polynomial.  
Byte-level bit reversal.  
Automatic CRC of flash contents on one or more 256-byte blocks.  
Initial seed selection of 0x0000 or 0xFFFF.

2.6. Analog Peripherals  
2.6.1. 12-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC0)  
The ADC0 module on C8051F85x/86x devices is a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog to Digital  
Converter (ADC). The key features of the ADC module are:  
Single-ended 12-bit and 10-bit modes.  
Supports an output update rate of 200 ksps samples per second in 12-bit mode or 800 ksps samples per  
second in 10-bit mode.  
Operation in low power modes at lower conversion speeds.  
Selectable asynchronous hardware conversion trigger  
Output data window comparator allows automatic range checking.  
Support for Burst Mode, which produces one set of accumulated data per conversion-start trigger with  
programmable power-on settling and tracking time.  
Conversion complete and window compare interrupts supported.  
Flexible output data formatting.  
Includes an internal fast-settling reference with two levels (1.65 V and 2.4 V) and support for external  
reference and signal ground.  
2.6.2. Low Current Comparators (CMP0, CMP1)  
The comparators take two analog input voltages and output the relationship between these voltages (less than or  
greater than) as a digital signal. The Low Power Comparator module includes the following features:  
Multiple sources for the positive and negative poles, including VDD, VREF, and I/O pins.  
Two outputs are available: a digital synchronous latched output and a digital asynchronous raw output.  
Programmable hysteresis and response time.  
Falling or rising edge interrupt options on the comparator output.  
Provide “kill” signal to PCA module.  
Comparator 0 can be used to reset the device.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
2.7. 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:  
The core halts program execution.  
Module registers are initialized to their defined reset values unless the bits reset only with a power-on  
reset.  
External port pins are forced to a known state.  
Interrupts and timers are disabled.  
All registers are reset to the predefined values noted in the register descriptions unless the bits only reset with a  
power-on reset. The contents of RAM are unaffected during a reset; any previously stored data is preserved as  
long as power is not lost.  
The Port I/O latches are reset to 1 in open-drain mode. Weak pullups are enabled during and after the reset. For  
VDD Supply Monitor and power-on resets, the RST pin is driven low until the device exits the reset state.  
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, and the system clock defaults to the internal low-  
power oscillator. The Watchdog Timer is enabled with the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO0) as its clock source.  
Program execution begins at location 0x0000.  
2.8. On-Chip Debugging  
The C8051F85x/86x devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow flash program-  
ming and in-system debugging with the production part installed in the end application. The C2 interface uses a  
clock signal (C2CK) and a bi-directional C2 data signal (C2D) to transfer information between the device and a  
host system. See the C2 Interface Specification for details on the C2 protocol.

8. Memory Organization  
The memory organization of the CIP-51 System Controller is similar to that of a standard 8051. There are two  
separate memory spaces: program memory and data memory. Program and data memory share the same address  
space but are accessed via different instruction types. The memory organization of the C8051F85x/86x device  
family is shown in Figure 8.1.

8.1. Program Memory  
The CIP-51 core has a 64 kB program memory space. The C8051F85x/86x family implements 8 kB, 4 kB or 2 kB  
of this program memory space as in-system, re-programmable flash memory. The last address in the flash block  
(0x1FFF on 8 kB devices, 0x0FFF on 4 kB devices and 0x07FF on 2 kB devices) serves as a security lock byte for  
the device, and provides read, write and erase protection. Addresses above the lock byte within the 64 kB address  
space are reserved.

8.1.1. MOVX Instruction and Program Memory  
The MOVX instruction in an 8051 device is typically used to access external data memory. On the C8051F85x/86x  
devices, the MOVX instruction is normally used to read and write on-chip XRAM, but can be re-configured to write  
and erase on-chip flash memory space. MOVC instructions are always used to read flash memory, while MOVX  
write instructions are used to erase and write flash. This flash access feature provides a mechanism for the  
C8051F85x/86x to update program code and use the program memory space for non-volatile data storage. Refer  
to Section “10. Flash Memory” on page 54 for further details.  
8.2. Data Memory  
The C8051F85x/86x device family includes up to 512 bytes of RAM data memory. 256 bytes of this memory is  
mapped into the internal RAM space of the 8051. On devices with 512 bytes total RAM, 256 additional bytes of  
memory are available as on-chip “external” memory. The data memory map is shown in Figure 8.1 for reference.  
8.2.1. Internal RAM  
There are 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 8.1 illustrates the data memory organization of the C8051F85x/86x.  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
47  
C8051F85x/86x  
8.2.1.1. 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 (PSW) register, RS0 and RS1, select the  
active register bank. This allows fast context switching when entering subroutines and interrupt service routines.  
Indirect addressing modes use registers R0 and R1 as index registers.  
8.2.1.2. 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 bit7 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.  
8.2.1.3. 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) 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.  
8.2.2. External RAM  
On devices with 512 bytes total RAM, there are 256 bytes of on-chip RAM mapped into the external data memory  
space. All of these address locations may be accessed using the external move instruction (MOVX) and the data  
pointer (DPTR), or using MOVX indirect addressing mode. Note: the 16-bit MOVX instruction is also used for writes  
to the flash memory. See Section “10. Flash Memory” on page 54 for details. The MOVX instruction accesses  
XRAM by default.  
For a 16-bit MOVX operation (@DPTR), the upper 8 bits of the 16-bit external data memory address word are  
"don't cares". As a result, addresses 0x0000 through 0x00FF are mapped modulo style over the entire 64 k  
external data memory address range. For example, the XRAM byte at address 0x0000 is shadowed at addresses  
0x0100, 0x0200, 0x0300, 0x0400, etc.  
8.2.3. 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.  
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, SCON0, 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.

10. Flash Memory  
On-chip, re-programmable flash memory is included for program code and non-volatile data storage. The flash  
memory is organized in 512-byte pages. It can be erased and written through the C2 interface or from firmware by  
overloading the MOVX instruction. Any individual byte in flash memory must only be written once between page  
erase operations.  
10.1. Security Options  
The CIP-51 provides security options to protect the flash memory from inadvertent modification by software as well  
as to prevent the viewing of proprietary program code and constants. The Program Store Write Enable (bit PSWE  
in register PSCTL) and the Program Store Erase Enable (bit PSEE in register PSCTL) bits protect the flash  
memory from accidental modification by software. PSWE must be explicitly set to ‘1’ before software can modify  
the flash memory; both PSWE and PSEE must be set to ‘1’ before software can erase flash memory. Additional  
security features prevent proprietary program code and data constants from being read or altered across the C2  
interface.  
A Security Lock Byte located in flash user space offers protection of the flash program memory from access (reads,  
writes, or erases) by unprotected code or the C2 interface. See Section “8. Memory Organization” on page 46 for  
the location of the security byte. The flash security mechanism allows the user to lock n 512-byte flash pages,  
starting at page 0 (addresses 0x0000 to 0x01FF), where n is the 1’s complement number represented by the  
Security Lock Byte. Note that the page containing the flash Security Lock Byte is unlocked when no other  
flash pages are locked (all bits of the Lock Byte are ‘1’) and locked when any other flash pages are locked  
(any bit of the Lock Byte is ‘0’). An example is shown in Figure 10.1.  
Security Lock Byte:

11111101b

Flash pages locked:

Figure 10.1. Security Byte Decoding  
The level of flash security depends on the flash access method. The three flash access methods that can be  
restricted are reads, writes, and erases from the C2 debug interface, user firmware executing on unlocked pages,  
and user firmware executing on locked pages. Table 10.1 summarizes the flash security features of the  
C8051F85x/86x devices.

10.2. Programming The Flash Memory  
Writes to flash memory clear bits from logic 1 to logic 0, and can be performed on single byte locations. Flash  
erasures set bits back to logic 1, and occur only on full pages. The write and erase operations are automatically  
timed by hardware for proper execution; data polling to determine the end of the write/erase operation is not  
required. Code execution is stalled during a flash write/erase operation.  
The simplest means of programming the flash memory is through the C2 interface using programming tools  
provided by Silicon Labs or a third party vendor. This is the only means for programming a non-initialized device.  
To ensure the integrity of flash contents, it is strongly recommended that the on-chip supply monitor be enabled in  
any system that includes code that writes and/or erases flash memory from software.  
10.2.1. Flash Lock and Key Functions  
Flash writes and erases by user software are protected with a lock and key function. The Flash Lock and Key  
Register (FLKEY) must be written with the correct key codes, in sequence, before flash operations may be  
performed. The key codes are: 0xA5, 0xF1. The timing does not matter, but the codes must be written in order. If  
the key codes are written out of order, or the wrong codes are written, flash writes and erases will be disabled until  
the next system reset. Flash writes and erases will also be disabled if a flash write or erase is attempted before the  
key codes have been written properly. The flash lock resets after each write or erase; the key codes must be  
written again before a following flash operation can be performed.  
10.2.2. Flash Erase Procedure  
The flash memory can be programmed by software using the MOVX write instruction with the address and data  
byte to be programmed provided as normal operands. Before writing to flash memory using MOVX, flash write  
operations must be enabled by: (1) setting the PSWE Program Store Write Enable bit in the PSCTL register to  
logic 1 (this directs the MOVX writes to target flash memory); and (2) Writing the flash key codes in sequence to the  
Flash Lock register (FLKEY). The PSWE bit remains set until cleared by software.  
A write to flash memory can clear bits to logic 0 but cannot set them; only an erase operation can set bits to logic 1  
in flash. A byte location to be programmed should be erased before a new value is written. Erase operation  
applies to an entire page (setting all bytes in the page to 0xFF). To erase an entire page, perform the following  
steps:  
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).  
2. Set the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
3. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
4. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
5. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
6. Using the MOVX instruction, write a data byte to any location within the page to be erased.  
7. Clear the PSWE and PSEE bits.  
10.2.3. Flash Write Procedure  
Flash bytes are programmed by software with the following sequence:  
1. Disable interrupts (recommended).  
2. Erase the flash page containing the target location, as described in Section 10.2.2.  
3. Set the PSWE bit (register PSCTL).  
4. Clear the PSEE bit (register PSCTL).  
5. Write the first key code to FLKEY: 0xA5.  
6. Write the second key code to FLKEY: 0xF1.  
7. Using the MOVX instruction, write a single data byte to the desired location within the desired page.  
8. Clear the PSWE bit.  
Steps 5–7 must be repeated for each byte to be written. After flash writes are complete, PSWE should be cleared  
so that MOVX instructions do not target program memory.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
10.3. 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  
calibration coefficients to be calculated and stored at run time. Data is written using the MOVX write instruction and  
read using the MOVC instruction. Note: MOVX read instructions always target XRAM.  
10.4. Flash Write and Erase Guidelines  
Any system which contains routines which write or erase flash memory from software involves some risk that the  
write or erase routines will execute unintentionally if the CPU is operating outside its specified operating range of  
supply voltage, system clock frequency or temperature. This accidental execution of flash modifying code can  
result in alteration of flash memory contents causing a system failure that is only recoverable by re-flashing the  
code in the device.  
To help prevent the accidental modification of flash by firmware, hardware restricts flash writes and erasures when  
the supply monitor is not active and selected as a reset source. As the monitor is enabled and selected as a reset  
source by default, it is recommended that systems writing or erasing flash simply maintain the default state.  
The following guidelines are recommended for any system which contains routines which write or erase flash from  
code.  
10.4.1. Voltage Supply Maintenance and the Supply Monitor  
1. If the system power supply is subject to voltage or current "spikes," add sufficient transient protection  
devices to the power supply to ensure that the supply voltages listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings  
table are not exceeded.  
2. Make certain that the minimum supply rise time specification is met. If the system cannot meet this rise  
time specification, then add an external supply brownout circuit to the RST pin of the device that holds the  
device in reset until the voltage supply reaches the lower limit, and re-asserts RST if the supply drops  
below the low supply limit.  
3. Do not disable the supply monitor. If the supply monitor must be disabled in the system, firmware should be  
added to the startup routine to enable the on-chip supply monitor and enable the supply monitor as a reset  
source as early in code as possible. This should be the first set of instructions executed after the reset  
vector. For C-based systems, this may involve modifying the startup code added by the C compiler. See  
your compiler documentation for more details. Make certain that there are no delays in software between  
enabling the supply monitor and enabling the supply monitor as a reset source. Code examples showing  
this can be found in “AN201: Writing to Flash From Firmware", available from the Silicon Laboratories web  
site. Note that the supply monitor must be enabled and enabled as a reset source when writing or  
erasing flash memory. A flash error reset will occur if either condition is not met.  
4. As an added precaution if the supply monitor is ever disabled, explicitly enable the supply monitor and  
enable the supply monitor as a reset source inside the functions that write and erase flash memory. The  
supply monitor enable instructions should be placed just after the instruction to set PSWE to a 1, but before  
the flash write or erase operation instruction.  
5. Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC (Reset Sources) register use direct assignment operators and  
explicitly DO NOT use the bit-wise operators (such as AND or OR). For example, "RSTSRC = 0x02" is  
correct. "RSTSRC |= 0x02" is incorrect.  
6. Make certain that all writes to the RSTSRC register explicitly set the PORSF bit to a '1'. Areas to check are  
initialization code which enables other reset sources, such as the Missing Clock Detector or Comparator,  
for example, and instructions which force a Software Reset. A global search on "RSTSRC" can quickly  
verify this.  
10.4.2. PSWE Maintenance  
7. Reduce the number of places in code where the PSWE bit (in register PSCTL) is set to a 1. There should  
be exactly one routine in code that sets PSWE to a '1' to write flash bytes and one routine in code that sets  
PSWE and PSEE both to a '1' to erase flash pages.  
8. Minimize the number of variable accesses while PSWE is set to a 1. Handle pointer address updates and  
loop variable maintenance outside the "PSWE = 1;... PSWE = 0;" area. Code examples showing this can  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
57  
C8051F85x/86x  
be found in “AN201: Writing to Flash From Firmware", available from the Silicon Laboratories web site.  
9. Disable interrupts prior to setting PSWE to a '1' and leave them disabled until after PSWE has been reset  
to 0. Any interrupts posted during the flash write or erase operation will be serviced in priority order after  
the flash operation has been completed and interrupts have been re-enabled by software.  
10. Make certain that the flash write and erase pointer variables are not located in XRAM. See your compiler  
documentation for instructions regarding how to explicitly locate variables in different memory areas.  
11. Add address bounds checking to the routines that write or erase flash memory to ensure that a routine  
called with an illegal address does not result in modification of the flash.  
10.4.3. System Clock  
12. If operating from an external crystal-based source, be advised that crystal performance is susceptible to  
electrical interference and is sensitive to layout and to changes in temperature. If the system is operating in  
an electrically noisy environment, use the internal oscillator or use an external CMOS clock.  
13. If operating from the external oscillator, switch to the internal oscillator during flash write or erase  
operations. The external oscillator can continue to run, and the CPU can switch back to the external  
oscillator after the flash operation has completed.  
Additional flash recommendations and example code can be found in “AN201: Writing to Flash From Firmware",  
available from the Silicon Laboratories website.

and erases are enabled by writing 0xA5 followed by 0xF1 to the FLKEY register. Flash  
writes and erases are automatically disabled after the next write or erase is complete. If  
any writes to FLKEY are performed incorrectly, or if a flash write or erase operation is  
attempted while these operations are disabled, the flash will be permanently locked from  
writes or erasures until the next device reset. If an application never writes to flash, it can  
intentionally lock the flash by writing a non-0xA5 value to FLKEY from software.  
Read:  
When read, bits 1-0 indicate the current flash lock state.  
00: Flash is write/erase locked.  
01: The first key code has been written (0xA5).  
10: Flash is unlocked (writes/erases allowed).  
11: Flash writes/erases are disabled until the next reset.

11. Device Identification  
The C8051F85x/86x has SFRs that identify the device family, derivative, and revision. These SFRs can be read by  
firmware at runtime to determine the capabilities of the MCU that is executing code. This allows the same firmware  
image to run on MCUs with different memory sizes and peripherals, and dynamically change functionality to suit  
the capabilities of that MCU.

12. Interrupts  
The C8051F85x/86x includes an extended interrupt system supporting multiple interrupt sources with two priority  
levels. The allocation of interrupt sources between on-chip peripherals and external input pins varies according to  
the specific 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  
program 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 and EIE1). However, interrupts must first be globally enabled by setting the EA bit in the IE register 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.  
12.1. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors  
The C8051F85x/86x MCUs support interrupt sources for each peripheral on the device. Software can simulate an  
interrupt 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, priority order and control bits are summarized in Table 12.1. 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 interrupt-pending flag(s).  
12.1.1. Interrupt Priorities  
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of two priority levels: low or high. A low priority  
interrupt 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 or EIP1) 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 12.1.  
12.1.2. 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.  
If more than one interrupt is pending when the CPU exits an ISR, the CPU will service the next highest priority  
interrupt that is pending.

13. Power Management and Internal Regulator  
All internal circuitry on the C8051F85x/86x devices draws power from the VDD supply pin. Circuits with external  
connections (I/O pins, analog muxes) are powered directly from the VDD supply voltage, while most of the internal  
circuitry is supplied by an on-chip LDO regulator. The regulator output is fully internal to the device, and is available  
also as an ADC input or reference source for the comparators and ADC.  
The devices support the standard 8051 power modes: idle and stop. For further power savings in stop mode, the  
internal LDO regulator may be disabled, shutting down the majority of the power nets on the device.  
Although the C8051F85x/86x has idle and stop modes available, more control over the device power can be  
achieved by enabling/disabling individual peripherals as needed. Each analog peripheral can be disabled when not  
in use and placed in low power mode. Digital peripherals, such as timers and serial buses, have their clocks gated  
off and draw little power when they are not in use.  
13.1. Power Modes  
Idle mode halts the CPU while leaving the peripherals and clocks active. In stop mode, the CPU is halted, all  
interrupts and timers are inactive, and the internal oscillator is stopped (analog peripherals remain in their selected  
states; the external oscillator is not affected). 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 because the majority of the device is shut down with no clocks active. The  
Power Control Register (PCON) is used to control the C8051F85x/86x's Stop and Idle power management modes.  
13.1.1. Idle Mode  
Setting the Idle Mode Select bit (PCON.0) causes the hardware to halt the CPU and enter idle mode as soon as  
the instruction that sets the bit completes execution. 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 is asserted or a reset occurs. 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.  
Note: If the instruction following the write of the IDLE bit is a single-byte instruction and an interrupt occurs during the  
execution phase of the instruction that sets the IDLE bit, the CPU may not wake from Idle mode when a future interrupt  
occurs. Therefore, instructions that set the IDLE bit should be followed by an instruction that has two or more opcode  
bytes, for example:  
// in ‘C’:  
PCON |= 0x01;  
PCON = PCON;  
// set IDLE bit  
// ... followed by a 3-cycle dummy instruction  
; in assembly:  
ORL PCON, #01h  
MOV PCON, PCON  
; set IDLE bit  
; ... followed by a 3-cycle dummy instruction  
If enabled, the Watchdog Timer (WDT) will eventually cause an internal watchdog reset and thereby terminate the  
idle mode. This feature 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.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
13.1.2. Stop Mode  
Setting the Stop Mode Select bit (PCON.1) causes the controller core to enter Stop mode as soon as the  
instruction that sets the bit completes execution. Before entering stop mode, the system clock must be sourced by  
the internal high-frequency oscillator. In stop mode the internal oscillator, CPU, and all digital peripherals are  
stopped; the state of the external oscillator circuit is not affected. Each analog peripheral (including the external  
oscillator circuit) may be shut down individually prior to entering stop mode. Stop mode can only be terminated by  
an internal or external reset. On reset, the device 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 in STOP mode for longer than the MCD  
timeout.  
13.2. LDO Regulator  
C8051F85x/86x devices include an internal regulator that regulates the internal core and logic supply. Under  
default conditions, the internal regulator will remain on when the device enters STOP mode. This allows any  
enabled reset source to generate a reset for the device and bring the device out of STOP mode. For additional  
power savings, the STOPCF bit can be used to shut down the regulator and the internal power network of the  
device when the part enters STOP mode. When STOPCF is set to 1, the RST pin and a full power cycle of the  
device are the only methods of generating a reset.

14. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC0)  
The ADC is a successive-approximation-register (SAR) ADC with 12, 10, and 8-bit modes, integrated track-and-  
hold and a programmable window detector. These different modes allow the user to trade off speed for resolution.  
ADC0 also has an autonomous low power burst mode which can automatically enable ADC0, capture and  
accumulate samples, then place ADC0 in a low power shutdown mode without CPU intervention. It also has a 16-  
bit accumulator that can automatically oversample and average the ADC results.  
The ADC is fully configurable under software control via several registers. The ADC0 operates in single-ended  
mode and may be configured to measure different signals using the analog multiplexer. The voltage reference for  
the ADC is selectable between internal and external reference sources.

Important note about ADC0 input configuration: Port pins selected as ADC0 inputs should be configured as analog  
inputs, and should be skipped by the crossbar. To configure a Port pin for analog input, set to 0 the corresponding  
bit in register PnMDIN and disable the digital driver (PnMDOUT = 0 and Port Latch = 1). To force the crossbar to  
skip a Port pin, set to 1 the corresponding bit in register PnSKIP.

14.2. ADC Operation  
The ADC is clocked by an adjustable conversion clock (SARCLK). SARCLK is a divided version of the selected  
system clock when burst mode is disabled (ADBMEN = 0), or a divided version of the high-frequency oscillator  
when burst mode is enabled (ADBMEN = 1). The clock divide value is determined by the ADSC bits in the ADC0CF  
register. In most applications, SARCLK should be adjusted to operate as fast as possible, without exceeding the  
maximum electrical specifications. The SARCLK does not directly determine sampling times or sampling rates.  
14.2.1. Starting a Conversion  
A conversion can be initiated in many ways, depending on the programmed states of the ADC0 Start of Conversion  
Mode field (ADCM) in register ADC0CN0. Conversions may be initiated by one of the following:  
1. Writing a 1 to the ADBUSY bit of register ADC0CN0 (software-triggered)  
2. A timer overflow (see the ADC0CN0 register and the timer section for timer options)  
3. A rising edge on the CNVSTR input signal (external pin-triggered)  
Writing a 1 to ADBUSY provides software control of ADC0 whereby conversions are performed "on-demand". All  
other trigger sources occur autonomous to code execution. When the conversion is complete, the ADC posts the  
result to its output register and sets the ADC interrupt flag (ADINT). ADINT may be used to trigger a system  
interrupts, if enabled, or polled by firmware.  
During conversion, the ADBUSY bit is set to logic 1 and reset to logic 0 when the conversion is complete. However,  
when polling for ADC conversion completions, the ADC0 interrupt flag (ADINT) should be used instead of the  
ADBUSY bit. Converted data is available in the ADC0 data registers, ADC0H:ADC0L, when the conversion is  
complete.  
Important Note About Using CNVSTR: When the CNVSTR input is used as the ADC0 conversion source, the  
associated port pin should be skipped in the crossbar settings.  
14.2.2. Tracking Modes  
Each ADC0 conversion must be preceded by a minimum tracking time in order for the converted result to be  
accurate. The minimum tracking time is given in the electrical specifications tables. The ADTM bit in register  
ADC0CN0 controls the ADC0 track-and-hold mode. In its default state when Burst Mode is disabled, the ADC0  
input is continuously tracked, except when a conversion is in progress. A conversion will begin immediately when  
the start-of-conversion trigger occurs.  
When the ADTM bit is logic 1, each conversion is preceded by a tracking period of 4 SAR clocks (after the start-of-  
conversion signal) for any internal (non-CNVSTR) conversion trigger source. When the CNVSTR signal is used to  
initiate conversions with ADTM set to 1, ADC0 tracks only when CNVSTR is low; conversion begins on the rising  
edge of CNVSTR (see Figure 14.2). Setting ADTM to 1 is primarily useful when AMUX settings are frequently  
changed and conversions are started using the ADBUSY bit.

14.2.3. Burst Mode  
Burst Mode is a power saving feature that allows ADC0 to remain in a low power state between conversions. When  
Burst Mode is enabled, ADC0 wakes from a low power state, accumulates 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 samples using the  
internal low-power high-frequency oscillator, then re-enters a low power state. Since the Burst Mode clock is  
independent of the system clock, ADC0 can perform multiple conversions then enter a low power state within a  
single system clock cycle, even if the system clock is slow (e.g. 80 kHz).  
Burst Mode is enabled by setting ADBMEN to logic 1. When in Burst Mode, ADEN controls the ADC0 idle power  
state (i.e. the state ADC0 enters when not tracking or performing conversions). If ADEN is set to logic 0, ADC0 is  
powered down after each burst. If ADEN is set to logic 1, ADC0 remains enabled after each burst. On each convert  
start signal, ADC0 is awakened from its Idle Power State. If ADC0 is powered down, it will automatically power up  
and wait the programmable Power-Up Time controlled by the ADPWR bits. Otherwise, ADC0 will start tracking and  
converting immediately. Figure 14.3 shows an example of Burst Mode Operation with a slow system clock and a  
repeat count of 4.  
When Burst Mode is enabled, a single convert start will initiate a number of conversions equal to the repeat count.  
When Burst Mode is disabled, a convert start is required to initiate each conversion. In both modes, the ADC0 End  
of Conversion Interrupt Flag (ADINT) will be set after “repeat count” conversions have been accumulated. Similarly,  
the Window Comparator will not compare the result to the greater-than and less-than registers until “repeat count”  
conversions have been accumulated.  
In Burst Mode, tracking is determined by the settings in ADPWR and ADTK. Settling time requirements may need  
adjustment in some applications. Refer to “14.2.4. Settling Time Requirements” on page 82 for more details.

Notes:  
Setting ADTM to 1 will insert an additional 4 SAR clocks of tracking before each conversion, regardless of  
the settings of ADPWR and ADTK.  
When using Burst Mode, care must be taken to issue a convert start signal no faster than once every four  
SYSCLK periods. This includes external convert start signals. The ADC will ignore convert start signals  
which arrive before a burst is finished.

14.2.4. Settling Time Requirements  
A minimum amount of tracking time is required before each conversion can be performed, to allow the sampling  
capacitor voltage to settle. This tracking time is determined by the AMUX0 resistance, the ADC0 sampling  
capacitance, any external source resistance, and the accuracy required for the conversion. Note that when ADTM  
is set to 1, four SAR clocks are used for tracking at the start of every conversion. Large external source impedance  
will increase the required tracking time.  
Figure 14.4 shows the equivalent ADC0 input circuit. The required ADC0 settling time for a given settling accuracy  
(SA) may be approximated by Equation 14.1. When measuring any internal source, R  
reduces to R  
. See

14.2.5. Gain Setting  
The ADC has gain settings of 1x and 0.5x. In 1x mode, the full scale reading of the ADC is determined directly by  
VREF. In 0.5x mode, the full-scale reading of the ADC occurs when the input voltage is VREF x 2. The 0.5x gain  
setting can be useful to obtain a higher input Voltage range when using a small VREF voltage, or to measure input  
voltages that are between VREF and VDD. Gain settings for the ADC are controlled by the ADGN bit in register  
ADC0CF. Note that even with a gain setting of 0.5, voltages above the supply rail cannot be measured directly by  
the ADC.  
14.3. 8-Bit Mode  
Setting the ADC08BE bit in register ADC0CF to 1 will put the ADC in 8-bit mode.In 8-bit mode, only the 8 MSBs of  
data are converted, allowing the conversion to be completed in fewer SAR clock cycles than a 10-bit conversion.  
The two LSBs of a conversion are always 00 in this mode, and the ADC0L register will always read back 0x00.  
14.4. 12-Bit Mode  
When configured for 12-bit conversions, the ADC performs four 10-bit conversions using four different reference  
voltages and combines the results into a single 12-bit value. Unlike simple averaging techniques, this method  
provides true 12-bit resolution of AC or DC input signals without depending on noise to provide dithering. The  
converter also employs a hardware dynamic element matching algorithm that reconfigures the largest elements of  
the internal DAC for each of the four 10-bit conversions. This reconfiguration cancels any matching errors and  
enables the converter to achieve 12-bit linearity performance to go along with its 12-bit resolution.  
The 12-bit mode is enabled by setting the AD12BE bit in register ADC0AC to logic 1 and configuring the ADC in  
burst mode (ADBMEN = 1) for four or more conversions. The conversion can be initiated using any of the  
conversion start sources, and the 12-bit result will appear in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers. Since the 12-bit  
result is formed from a combination of four 10-bit results, the maximum output value is 4 x (1023) = 4092, rather  
than the max value of (2^12 – 1) = 4095 that is produced by a traditional 12-bit converter. To further increase  
resolution, the burst mode repeat value may be configured to any multiple of four conversions. For example, if a  
repeat value of 16 is selected, the ADC0 output will be a 14-bit number (sum of four 12-bit numbers) with 13  
effective bits of resolution.  
The AD12SM bit in register ADC0TK controls when the ADC will track and sample the input signal. When AD12SM  
is set to 1, the selected input signal will be tracked before the first conversion of a set and held internally during all  
four conversions. When AD12SM is cleared to 0, the ADC will track and sample the selected input before each of  
the four conversions in a set. When maximum throughput (180-200 ksps) is needed, it is recommended that  
AD12SM be set to 1 and ADTK to 0x3F, and that the ADC be placed in always-on mode (ADEN = 1). For sample  
rates under 180 ksps, or when accumulating multiple samples, AD12SM should normally be cleared to 0, and  
ADTK should be configured to provide the appropriate settling time for the subsequent conversions.

14.5. Power Considerations  
The ADC has several power-saving features which can help the user optimize power consumption according to the  
needs of the application. The most efficient way to use the ADC for slower sample rates is by using burst mode.  
Burst mode dynamically controls power to the ADC and (if used) the internal voltage reference. By completely  
powering off these circuits when the ADC is not tracking or converting, the average supply current required for  
lower sampling rates is reduced significantly.  
The ADC also provides low power options that allow reduction in operating current when operating at low SAR  
clock frequencies or with longer tracking times. The internal common-mode buffer can be configured for low power  
mode by setting the ADLPM bit in ADC0PWR to 1. Two other fields in the ADC0PWR register (ADBIAS and  
ADMXLP) may be used together to adjust the power consumed by the ADC and its multiplexer and reference  
buffers, respectively. In general, these options are used together, when operating with a SAR conversion clock  
frequency of 4 MHz.

Notes:  
1. ADRPT reflects the minimum setting for this bit field. When using the ADC in Burst Mode, up to 64 samples may be  
auto-accumulated per conversion trigger by adjusting ADRPT.  
For applications where burst mode is used to automatically accumulate multiple results, additional supply current  
savings can be realized. The length of time the ADC is active during each burst contains power-up time at the  
beginning of the burst as well as the conversion time required for each conversion in the burst. The power-on time  
is only required at the beginning of each burst. When compared with single-sample bursts to collect the same  
number of conversions, multi-sample bursts will consume significantly less power. For example, performing an  
eight-cycle burst of 10-bt conversions consumes about 61% of the power required to perform those same eight  
samples in single-cycle bursts. For 12-bit conversions, an eight-cycle burst results in about 85% of the equivalent  
single-cycle bursts. Figure 14.5 shows this relationship for the different burst cycle lengths.  
See the Electrical Characteristics chapter for details on power consumption and the maximum clock frequencies  
allowed in each mode.

14.6. Output Code Formatting  
The registers ADC0H and ADC0L contain the high and low bytes of the output conversion code from the ADC at  
the completion of each conversion. Data can be right-justified or left-justified, depending on the setting of the  
ADSJST field. When the repeat count is set to 1 in 10-bit mode, conversion codes are represented as 10-bit  
unsigned integers. Inputs are measured from 0 to VREF x 1023/1024. Example codes are shown below for both  
right-justified and left-justified data. Unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to 0.

When the repeat count is greater than 1, the output conversion code represents the accumulated result of the  
conversions performed and is updated after the last conversion in the series is finished. Sets of 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64  
consecutive samples can be accumulated and represented in unsigned integer format. The repeat count can be  
selected using the ADRPT bits in the ADC0AC register. When a repeat count higher than 1, the ADC output must  
be right-justified (ADSJST = 0xx); unused bits in the ADC0H and ADC0L registers are set to 0. The example below  
n
shows the right-justified result for various input voltages and repeat counts. Notice that accumulating 2 samples is  
equivalent to left-shifting by n bit positions when all samples returned from the ADC have the same value.

The ADSJST bits can be used to format the contents of the 16-bit accumulator. The accumulated result can be  
shifted right by 1, 2, or 3 bit positions. Based on the principles of oversampling and averaging, the effective ADC  
resolution increases by 1 bit each time the oversampling rate is increased by a factor of 4. The example below  
shows how to increase the effective ADC resolution by 1, 2, and 3 bits to obtain an effective ADC resolution of 11-  
bit, 12-bit, or 13-bit respectively without CPU intervention.

14.7. Programmable Window Detector  
The ADC Programmable Window Detector continuously compares the ADC0 output registers to user-programmed  
limits, and notifies the system when a desired 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 (ADWINT in register ADC0CN0) can also be used in polled mode. The ADC0 Greater-Than  
(ADC0GTH, ADC0GTL) and Less-Than (ADC0LTH, ADC0LTL) registers hold the comparison values. The window  
detector flag can be programmed to indicate when measured data is inside or outside of the user-programmed  
limits, depending on the contents of the ADC0 Less-Than and ADC0 Greater-Than registers.  
14.7.1. Window Detector In Single-Ended Mode  
Figure 14.6 shows two example window comparisons for right-justified data, with ADC0LTH:ADC0LTL = 0x0080  
(128d) and ADC0GTH:ADC0GTL = 0x0040 (64d). The input voltage can range from 0 to VREF x (1023/1024) with  
respect to GND, and is represented by a 10-bit unsigned integer value. In the left example, an ADWINT interrupt  
will be generated if the ADC0 conversion word (ADC0H:ADC0L) is within the range defined by  
ADC0GTH:ADC0GTL and ADC0LTH:ADC0LTL (if 0x0040 < ADC0H:ADC0L < 0x0080). In the right example, and  
ADWINT interrupt will be generated if the ADC0 conversion word is outside of the range defined by the ADC0GT  
and ADC0LT registers (if ADC0H:ADC0L < 0x0040 or ADC0H:ADC0L > 0x0080). Figure 14.7 shows an example  
using left-justified data with the same comparison values.

14.8. Voltage and Ground Reference Options  
The voltage reference multiplexer is configurable to use an externally connected voltage reference, the internal  
voltage reference, or one of two power supply voltages. The ground reference mux allows the ground reference for  
ADC0 to be selected between the ground pin (GND) or a port pin dedicated to analog ground (AGND).  
The voltage and ground reference options are configured using the REF0CN register.  
Important Note About the VREF and AGND Inputs: Port pins are used as the external VREF and AGND inputs.  
When using an external voltage reference, VREF should be configured as an analog input and skipped by the  
digital crossbar. When using AGND as the ground reference to ADC0, AGND should be configured as an analog  
input and skipped by the Digital Crossbar.  
14.8.1. External Voltage Reference  
To use an external voltage reference, REFSL should be set to 00. Bypass capacitors should be added as  
recommended by the manufacturer of the external voltage reference. If the manufacturer does not provide  
recommendations, a 4.7uF in parallel with a 0.1uF capacitor is recommended.  
14.8.2. Internal Voltage Reference  
For applications requiring the maximum number of port I/O pins, or very short VREF turn-on time, the high-speed  
reference will be the best internal reference option to choose. The internal reference is selected by setting REFSL  
to 11. When selected, the internal reference will be automatically enabled/disabled on an as-needed basis by the  
ADC. The reference can be set to one of two voltage values: 1.65 V or 2.4 V, depending on the value of the  
IREFLVL bit.  
For applications with a non-varying power supply voltage, using the power supply as the voltage reference can  
provide the ADC with added dynamic range at the cost of reduced power supply noise rejection. To use the  
external supply pin (VDD) or the 1.8 V regulated digital supply voltage as the reference source, REFSL should be  
set to 01 or 10, respectively.  
Internal reference sources are not routed to the VREF pin, and do not require external capacitors. The electrical  
specifications tables detail SAR clock and throughput limitations for each reference source.  
14.8.3. Analog Ground Reference  
To prevent ground noise generated by switching digital logic from affecting sensitive analog measurements, a  
separate analog ground reference option is available. When enabled, the ground reference for the ADC during  
both the tracking/sampling and the conversion periods is taken from the AGND pin. Any external sensors sampled  
by the ADC should be referenced to the AGND pin. If an external voltage reference is used, the AGND pin should  
be connected to the ground of the external reference and its associated decoupling capacitor. The separate analog  
ground reference option is enabled by setting GNDSL to 1. Note that when sampling the internal temperature  
sensor, the internal chip ground is always used for the sampling operation, regardless of the setting of the GNDSL  
bit. Similarly, whenever the internal 1.65 V high-speed reference is selected, the internal chip ground is always  
used during the conversion period, regardless of the setting of the GNDSL bit.

C8051F85x/86x  
14.9. Temperature Sensor  
An on-chip temperature sensor is included, which can be directly accessed via the ADC multiplexer in single-ended  
configuration. To use the ADC to measure the temperature sensor, the ADC mux channel should select the  
temperature sensor. The temperature sensor transfer function is shown in Figure 14.8. The output voltage (V  
)
TEMP  
is the positive ADC input when the ADC multiplexer is set correctly. The TEMPE bit in register REF0CN enables/  
disables the temperature sensor. While disabled, the temperature sensor defaults to a high impedance state and  
any ADC measurements performed on the sensor will result in meaningless data. Refer to the electrical  
specification tables for the slope and offset parameters of the temperature sensor.  
VTEMP = (Slope x TempC) + Offset  
TempC = (VTEMP - Offset) / Slope  
Slope (V / deg C)  
Offset (V at 0 Celsius)  
Temperature  
Figure 14.8. Temperature Sensor Transfer Function  
14.9.1. Calibration  
The uncalibrated temperature sensor output is extremely linear and suitable for relative temperature  
measurements. For absolute temperature measurements, offset and/or gain calibration is recommended. Typically  
a 1-point (offset) calibration includes the following steps:  
1. Control/measure the ambient temperature (this temperature must be known).  
2. Power the device, and delay for a few seconds to allow for self-heating.  
3. Perform an ADC conversion with the temperature sensor selected as the ADC input.  
4. Calculate the offset characteristics, and store this value in non-volatile memory for use with subsequent  
temperature sensor measurements.

15. CIP-51 Microcontroller Core  
The C8051F85x/86x uses 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. The CIP-51 also includes on-chip debug hardware  
and interfaces directly with the 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 15.1 for a block diagram). The CIP-51  
includes the following features:  
Fully Compatible with MCS-51 Instruction Set  
25 MIPS Peak Throughput with 25 MHz Clock  
0 to 25 MHz Clock Frequency  
Reset Input  
Power Management Modes  
On-chip Debug Logic  
Extended Interrupt Handler  
Program and Data Memory Security  
15.1. Performance  
The CIP-51 employs a pipelined architecture that greatly increases its instruction throughput over the standard  
8051 architecture. The CIP-51 core executes 70% of its instructions in one or two system clock cycles, with no  
instructions taking more than eight system clock cycles.

15.2. Programming and Debugging Support  
In-system programming of the flash program memory and communication with on-chip debug support logic is  
accomplished via the Silicon Labs 2-Wire Development Interface (C2).  
The on-chip debug support logic facilitates full speed in-circuit debugging, allowing the setting of hardware  
breakpoints, 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 debugging is completely non-intrusive, 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, debugger and programmer. The IDE's debugger and  
programmer interface to the CIP-51 via the C2 interface to provide fast and efficient in-system device programming  
and debugging. Third party macro assemblers and C compilers are also available.  
15.3. 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.  
15.3.1. 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 timing. 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 15.1 is the CIP-51 Instruction Set  
Summary, which includes the mnemonic, number of bytes, and number of clock cycles for each instruction.

16. Clock Sources and Selection (HFOSC0, LFOSC0, and EXTCLK)  
The C8051F85x/86x devices can be clocked from the internal low power 24.5 MHz oscillator, the internal low-  
frequency 80 kHz oscillator, or an external CMOS clock signal at the EXTCLK pin. An adjustable clock divider  
allows the selected clock source to be post-scaled by powers of 2, up to a factor of 128. By default, the system  
clock comes up as the 24.5 MHz oscillator divided by 8.

Figure 16.1. Clocking Options  
16.1. Programmable High-Frequency Oscillator  
All C8051F85x/86x devices include a programmable internal high-frequency oscillator that defaults as the system  
clock after a system reset. The oscillator is automatically enabled when it is requested. The internal oscillator  
period can be adjusted via the OSCICL register. On C8051F85x/86x devices, OSCICL is factory calibrated to  
obtain a 24.5 MHz base frequency.  
16.2. Programmable Low-Frequency Oscillator  
A programmable low-frequency internal oscillator is also included. The low-frequency oscillator is calibrated to a  
nominal frequency of 80 kHz. A divider at the oscillator output is capable of dividing the output clock of the module  
by 1, 2, 4, or 8, using the OSCLD bits in the OSCLCN register. Additionally, the OSCLF bits can be used to  
coarsely adjust the oscillator’s output frequency.  
16.2.1. Calibrating the Internal L-F Oscillator  
Timer 3 includes a capture function that can be used to capture the oscillator frequency, when running from a  
known time base. When Timer 3 is configured for L-F Oscillator Capture Mode, a rising edge of the low-frequency  
oscillator’s output will cause a capture event on the corresponding timer. As a capture event occurs, the current  
timer value (TMR3H:TMR3L) is copied into the timer reload registers (TMR3RLH:TMR3RLL). By recording the  
difference between two successive timer capture values, the low-frequency oscillator’s period can be calculated.  
The OSCLF bits can then be adjusted to produce the desired oscillator frequency.  
16.3. External Clock  
An external CMOS clock source is also supported by the C8051F85x/86x family. The EXTCLK pin on the device  
serves as the external clock input when running in this mode. The EXTCLK input may also be used to clock some  
of the digital peripherals (e.g., Timers, PCA, etc.) while SYSCLK runs from one of the internal oscillator sources.  
When not selected as the SYSCLK source, the EXTCLK input is always re-synchronized to SYSCLK.

C8051F85x/86x  
16.4. Clock Selection  
The CLKSEL register is used to select the clock source for the system. The CLKSL field selects which oscillator  
source is used as the system clock, while CLKDIV controls the programmable divider. CLKSL must be set to 01b  
for the system clock to run from the external oscillator; however the external oscillator may still clock certain  
peripherals (timers, PCA) when the internal oscillator is selected as the system clock. In these cases, the external  
oscillator source is synchronized to the SYSCLK source. The system clock may be switched on-the-fly between  
any of the oscillator sources so long as the selected clock source is enabled and has settled, and CLKDIV may be  
changed at any time.  
The internal high-frequency and low-frequency oscillators require little start-up time and may be selected as the  
system clock immediately following the register write which enables the oscillator. When selecting the EXTCLK pin  
as a clock input source, the pin should be skipped in the crossbar and configured as a digital input. Firmware  
should ensure that the external clock source is present or enable the missing clock detector before switching the  
CLKSL field.

17.1. System Connectivity  
Comparator inputs are routed to port I/O pins or internal signals using the comparator mux registers. The  
comparator’s synchronous and asynchronous outputs can optionally be routed to port I/O pins through the port I/O  
crossbar. The output of either comparator may also be configured to generate a system interrupt. CMP0 may also  
be used as a reset source, or as a trigger to kill a PCA output channel.  
The CMP0 inputs are selected in the CPT0MX register, while CPT1MX selects the CMP1 inputs. The CMXP field  
selects the comparator’s positive input (CPnP.x); the CMXN field selects the comparator’s negative input (CPnN.x).  
Table 17.1 through Table 17.4 detail the comparator input multiplexer options on the C8051F85x/86x family. See  
the port I/O crossbar sections for details on configuring comparator outputs via the digital crossbar. Comparator  
inputs can be externally driven from –0.25 V to (V ) + 0.25 V without damage or upset.  
DD  
Important Note About Comparator Inputs: The port pins selected as comparator inputs should be configured as  
analog inputs in their associated port configuration register, and configured to be skipped by the crossbar.

17.2. Functional Description  
The comparator offers programmable response time and hysteresis, an analog input multiplexer, and two outputs  
that are optionally available at the port pins: a synchronous “latched” output (CPn), or an asynchronous “raw”  
output (CPnA). The asynchronous CPnA signal is available even when the system clock is not active. This allows  
the comparator to operate and generate an output with the device in STOP mode.  
When disabled, the comparator output (if assigned to a port I/O pin via the crossbar) defaults to the logic low state,  
and the power supply to the comparator is turned off.  
The comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPTnMD register. Selecting a longer  
response time reduces the comparator supply current.

Negative programmable

Figure 17.2. Comparator Hysteresis Plot  
The comparator hysteresis is software-programmable via its Comparator Control register CPTnCN. 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 comparator hysteresis is programmable using the CPHYN and CPHYP fields in the Comparator Control  
Register CPTnCN. The amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of the CPHYN bits. As  
shown in Figure 17.2, settings of 20, 10, or 5 mV (nominal) of negative hysteresis can be programmed, or negative  
hysteresis can be disabled. In a similar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is determined by the setting the  
CPHYP bits.  
Comparator interrupts can be generated on both rising-edge and falling-edge output transitions. The CPFIF flag is  
set to logic 1 upon a comparator falling-edge occurrence, and the CPRIF flag is set to logic 1 upon the comparator  
rising-edge occurrence. Once set, these bits remain set until cleared by software. The comparator rising-edge  
interrupt mask is enabled by setting CPRIE to a logic 1. The comparator falling-edge interrupt mask is enabled by  
setting CPFIE to a logic 1.  
The output state of the comparator can be obtained at any time by reading the CPOUT bit. The comparator is  
enabled by setting the CPEN bit to logic 1, and is disabled by clearing this bit to logic 0.  
Note that false rising edges and falling edges can be detected when the comparator is first powered on or if  
changes are made to the hysteresis or response time control bits. Therefore, it is recommended that the rising-  
edge and falling-edge flags be explicitly cleared to logic 0 a short time after the comparator is enabled or its mode  
bits have been changed, before enabling comparator interrupts.

C8051F85x/86x devices include a cyclic redundancy check unit (CRC0) that can perform a CRC using a 16-bit  
polynomial. CRC0 accepts a stream of 8-bit data written to the CRC0IN register. CRC0 posts the 16-bit result to an  
internal register. The internal result register may be accessed indirectly using the CRCPNT bits and CRC0DAT  
register, as shown in Figure 18.1. CRC0 also has a bit reverse register for quick data manipulation.

18.1. CRC Algorithm  
The CRC unit generates a CRC result equivalent to the following algorithm:  
1. XOR the input with the most-significant bits of the current CRC result. If this is the first iteration of the CRC  
unit, the current CRC result will be the set initial value   
(0x0000 or 0xFFFF).  
2a. If the MSB of the CRC result is set, shift the CRC result and XOR the result with the selected polynomial.  
2b. If the MSB of the CRC result is not set, shift the CRC result.  
Repeat Steps 2a/2b for the number of input bits (8). The algorithm is also described in the following example.  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
133  
C8051F85x/86x  
The 16-bit CRC algorithm can be described by the following code:  
unsigned short UpdateCRC (unsigned short CRC_acc, unsigned char CRC_input)  
{
unsigned char i;  
// loop counter  
#define POLY 0x1021  
// Create the CRC "dividend" for polynomial arithmetic (binary arithmetic  
// with no carries)  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc ^ (CRC_input << 8);  
// "Divide" the poly into the dividend using CRC XOR subtraction  
// CRC_acc holds the "remainder" of each divide  
//  
// Only complete this division for 8 bits since input is 1 byte  
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)  
{
// Check if the MSB is set (if MSB is 1, then the POLY can "divide"  
// into the "dividend")  
if ((CRC_acc & 0x8000) == 0x8000)  
{
// if so, shift the CRC value, and XOR "subtract" the poly  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc << 1;  
CRC_acc ^= POLY;  
}
else  
{
// if not, just shift the CRC value  
CRC_acc = CRC_acc << 1;  
}
}
// Return the final remainder (CRC value)  
return CRC_acc;  
}

18.2. Preparing for a CRC Calculation  
To prepare CRC0 for a CRC calculation, software should set the initial value of the result. The polynomial used for  
the CRC computation is 0x1021. The CRC0 result may be initialized to one of two values: 0x0000 or 0xFFFF. The  
following steps can be used to initialize CRC0.  
1. Select the initial result value (Set CRCVAL to 0 for 0x0000 or 1 for 0xFFFF).  
2. Set the result to its initial value (Write 1 to CRCINIT).  
18.3. Performing a CRC Calculation  
Once CRC0 is initialized, the input data stream is sequentially written to CRC0IN, one byte at a time. The CRC0  
result is automatically updated after each byte is written. The CRC engine may also be configured to automatically  
perform a CRC on one or more 256 byte blocks read from flash. The following steps can be used to automatically  
perform a CRC on flash memory.  
1. Prepare CRC0 for a CRC calculation as shown above.  
2. Write the index of the starting page to CRC0AUTO.  
3. Set the AUTOEN bit to 1 in CRC0AUTO.  
4. Write the number of 256 byte blocks to perform in the CRC calculation to CRCCNT.  
5. Write any value to CRC0CN (or OR its contents with 0x00) to initiate the CRC calculation. The CPU will not  
execute code any additional code until the CRC operation completes. See the note in the CRC0CN  
register definition for more information on how to properly initiate a CRC calculation.  
6. Clear the AUTOEN bit in CRC0AUTO.  
7. Read the CRC result.  
18.4. Accessing the CRC0 Result  
The internal CRC0 result is 16 bits. The CRCPNT bits select the byte that is targeted by read and write operations  
on CRC0DAT and increment after each read or write. The calculation result will remain in the internal CR0 result  
register until it is set, overwritten, or additional data is written to CRC0IN.  
18.5. CRC0 Bit Reverse Feature  
CRC0 includes hardware to reverse the bit order of each bit in a byte as shown in Figure 18.2. Each byte of data  
written to CRC0FLIP is read back bit reversed. For example, if 0xC0 is written to CRC0FLIP, the data read back is  
0x03. Bit reversal is a useful mathematical function used in algorithms such as the FFT.

operation must only contain instructions which execute in the same number of cycles as the number of bytes in the

in C, the dummy value written to CRC0FLIP should be a non-zero value to prevent the compiler from generating a 2-  
byte MOV instruction.

19. External Interrupts (INT0 and INT1)  
The C8051F85x/86x device family includes two external digital interrupt sources (INT0 and INT1), with dedicated  
interrupt sources (up to 16 additional I/O interrupts are available through the port match function). As is the case on  
a standard 8051 architecture, certain controls for these two interrupt sources are available in the Timer0/1  
registers. Extensions to these controls which provide additional functionality on C8051F85x/86x devices are  
available in the IT01CF register. INT0 and INT1 are configurable as active high or low, edge or level sensitive. The  
IN0PL and IN1PL bits in the IT01CF register select active high or active low; the IT0 and IT1 bits in TCON select  
level or edge sensitive. The table below lists the possible configurations.

INT0 and INT1 are assigned to port pins as defined in the IT01CF register. Note that INT0 and INT1 Port pin  
assignments are independent of any crossbar assignments. INT0 and INT1 will monitor their assigned port pins  
without disturbing the peripheral that was assigned the port pin via the crossbar. To assign a port pin only to INT0  
and/or INT1, configure the crossbar to skip the selected pin(s).  
IE0 and IE1 in the TCON register serve as the interrupt-pending flags 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 remains logic 1 while the input is active as defined by the corresponding  
polarity bit (IN0PL or IN1PL); the flag remains logic 0 while the input is inactive. 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.

20. Programmable Counter Array (PCA0)  
The Programmable Counter Array (PCA0) provides three channels of enhanced timer and PWM functionality while  
requiring less CPU intervention than standard counter/timers. The PCA consists of a dedicated 16-bit counter/timer  
and three 16-bit capture/compare modules. The counter/timer is driven by a programmable timebase that can  
select between seven sources: system clock, system clock divided by four, system clock divided by twelve, the  
external oscillator clock source divided by 8, low frequency oscillator divided by 8, Timer 0 overflows, or an external  
clock signal on the ECI input pin. Each capture/compare module may be configured to operate independently in  
one of six modes: Edge-Triggered Capture, Software Timer, High-Speed Output, Frequency Output, 8 to 11-Bit  
PWM, or 16-Bit PWM. Additionally, all PWM modes support both center and edge-aligned operation. The external  
oscillator and LFO oscillator clock options allow the PCA to be clocked by an external oscillator or the LFO while  
the internal oscillator drives the system clock. Each capture/compare module has its own associated I/O line  
(CEXn) which is routed through the crossbar to port I/O when enabled. The I/O signals have programmable polarity  
and Comparator 0 can optionally be used to perform a cycle-by-cycle kill operation on the PCA outputs. A PCA  
block diagram is shown in Figure 20.1

20.1. PCA Counter/Timer  
The 16-bit PCA counter/timer consists of two 8-bit SFRs: PCA0L and PCA0H. PCA0H is the high byte of the 16-bit  
counter/timer and PCA0L is the low byte. 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 CPS2CPS0 bits in the PCA0MD register select the timebase for the counter/  
timer as shown in Table 20.1.  
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. Clearing the CIDL bit in the  
PCA0MD register allows the PCA to continue normal operation while the CPU is in Idle mode.

20.2. PCA0 Interrupt Sources  
The PCA0 module shares one interrupt vector among all of its modules. There are are several event flags that can  
be used to generate a PCA0 interrupt. They are: the main PCA counter overflow flag (CF), which is set upon a 16-  
bit overflow of the PCA0 counter, an intermediate overflow flag (COVF), which can be set on an overflow from the  
8th - 11th bit of the PCA0 counter, and the individual flags for each PCA channel (CCFn), which are set according  
to the operation mode of that module. These event flags are always set when the trigger condition occurs. Each of  
these flags can be individually selected to generate a PCA0 interrupt, using the corresponding interrupt enable flag  
(ECF for CF, ECOV for COVF, and ECCFn for each CCFn). PCA0 interrupts must be globally enabled before any  
individual interrupt sources are recognized by the processor. PCA0 interrupts are globally enabled by setting the  
EA bit and the EPCA0 bit to logic 1.  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
147  
C8051F85x/86x  
20.3. 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 to 11-bit pulse width modulator, or 16-bit pulse width  
modulator. Table 20.2 summarizes the bit settings in the PCA0CPMn and PCA0PWM registers used to select the  
PCA capture/compare module’s operating mode. Note that all modules set to use 8, 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode  
must use the same cycle length (8–11 bits). Setting the ECCFn bit in a PCA0CPMn register enables the module's  
CCFn interrupt.

3. B = Enable 8th - 11th bit overflow interrupt (Depends on setting of CLSEL).  
4. C = When set to 0, the digital comparator is off. For high speed and frequency output modes, the associated pin will not  
toggle. In any of the PWM modes, this generates a 0% duty cycle (output = 0).  
5. D = Selects whether the Capture/Compare register (0) or the Auto-Reload register (1) for the associated channel is  
accessed via addresses PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn.  
6. E = When set, a match event will cause the CCFn flag for the associated channel to be set.  
7. All modules set to 8, 9, 10 or 11-bit PWM mode use the same cycle length setting.  
20.3.1. Output Polarity  
The output polarity of each PCA channel is individually selectable using the PCA0POL register. By default, all  
output channels are configured to drive the PCA output signals (CEXn) with their internal polarity. When the  
CEXnPOL bit for a specific channel is set to 1, that channel’s output signal will be inverted at the pin. All other  
properties of the channel are unaffected, and the inversion does not apply to PCA input signals. Note that changes  
in the PCA0POL register take effect immediately at the associated output pin.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
20.3.2. Edge-triggered Capture Mode  
In this mode, a valid transition on the CEXn pin causes the PCA to capture the value of the PCA 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. An interrupt  
request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is 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. If both CAPPn  
and CAPNn bits are set to logic 1, then the state of the Port pin associated with CEXn can be read directly to  
determine whether a rising-edge or falling-edge caused the capture.

20.3.3. Software Timer (Compare) Mode  
In Software Timer mode, the PCA counter/timer value 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. An interrupt request is generated if the CCFn interrupt for that module is 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.

20.3.4. High-Speed Output Mode  
In High-Speed Output mode, a module’s 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). When a match  
occurs, the Capture/Compare Flag (CCFn) in PCA0CN is set to logic 1. An interrupt request is generated if the  
CCFn interrupt for that module is 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 TOGn, MATn, and ECOMn  
bits in the PCA0CPMn register enables the High-Speed Output mode. If ECOMn is cleared, the associated pin will  
retain its state, and not toggle on the next match event.  
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.

20.3.5. Frequency Output Mode  
Frequency Output Mode produces a programmable-frequency square wave on the module’s 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 20.1.

Where F  
is the frequency of the clock selected by the CPS20 bits in the PCA mode register, PCA0MD. The  
PCA  
lower byte of the capture/compare module is compared to the PCA counter low byte; on a match, n 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. Note that the MATn bit should normally be  
set to 0 in this mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the channel will be set when the 16-bit PCA0  
counter and the 16-bit capture/compare register for the channel are equal.

20.4. PWM Waveform Generation  
The PCA can generate edge or center-aligned PWM waveforms with resolutions of 8, 9, 10, 11 or 16 bits. PWM  
resolution depends on the module setup, as sepcified within the individual module PCA0CPMn registers as well as  
the PCA0PWM register. Modules can be configured for 8-11 bit mode, or for 16-bit mode individually using the  
PCA0CPMn registers. All modules configured for 8-11 bit mode will have the same resolution, specified by the  
PCA0PWM register. When operating in one of the PWM modes, each module may be individually configured for  
center or edge-aligned PWM waveforms. Each channel has a single bit in the PCA0CENT register to select  
between the two options.  
20.4.1. Edge Aligned PWM  
N
When configured for edge-aligned mode, a module will generate an edge transition at two points for every 2 PCA  
clock cycles, where N is the selected PWM resolution in bits. In edge-aligned mode, these two edges are referred  
to as the “match” and “overflow” edges. The polarity at the output pin is selectable, and can be inverted by setting  
the appropriate channel bit to ‘1’ in the PCA0POL register. Prior to inversion, a match edge sets the channel to  
logic high, and an overflow edge clears the channel to logic low.  
The match edge occurs when the the lowest N bits of the module’s PCA0CPn register match the corresponding  
bits of the main PCA0 counter register. For example, with 10-bit PWM, the match edge will occur any time bits 9-0  
of the PCA0CPn register match bits 9-0 of the PCA0 counter value.  
The overflow edge occurs when an overflow of the PCA0 counter happens at the desired resolution. For example,  
with 10-bit PWM, the overflow edge will occur when bits 0-9 of the PCA0 counter transition from all 1’s to all 0’s. All  
modules configured for edge-aligned mode at the same resolution will align on the overflow edge of the  
waveforms.  
An example of the PWM timing in edge-aligned mode for two channels is shown in Figure 20.6. In this example,  
the CEX0POL and CEX1POL bits are cleared to 0.

Figure 20.6. Edge-Aligned PWM Timing  
For a given PCA resolution, the unused high bits in the PCA0 counter and the PCA0CPn compare registers are  
ignored, and only the used bits of the PCA0CPn register determine the duty cycle. Equation 20.2 describes the  
duty cycle when CEXnPOL in the PCA0POL regsiter is cleared to 0. Equation 20.3 describes the duty cycle when  
CEXnPOL in the PCA0POL regsiter is set to 1. A 0% duty cycle for the channel (with CEXnPOL = 0) is achieved by  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
153  
C8051F85x/86x  
clearing the module’s ECOM bit to 0. This will disable the comparison, and prevent the match edge from occuring.  
Note that although the PCA0CPn compare register determines the duty cycle, it is not always appropriate for  
firmware to update this register directly. See the sections on 8 to 11-bit and 16-bit PWM mode for additional details  
on adjusting duty cycle in the various modes.

20.4.2. Center Aligned PWM  
(N+1)  
When configured for center-aligned mode, a module will generate an edge transition at two points for every 2  
PCA clock cycles, where N is the selected PWM resolution in bits. In center-aligned mode, these two edges are  
referred to as the “up” and “down” edges. The polarity at the output pin is selectable, and can be inverted by setting  
the appropriate channel bit to ‘1’ in the PCA0POL register.  
The generated waveforms are centered about the points where the lower N bits of the PCA0 counter are zero. The  
th  
(N+1) bit in the PCA0 counter acts as a selection between up and down edges. In 16-bit mode, a special 17th bit  
is implemented internally for this purpose. At the center point, the (non-inverted) channel output will be low when  
th  
th  
the (N+1) bit is ‘0’ and high when the (N+1) bit is ‘1’, except for cases of 0% and 100% duty cycle. Prior to  
inversion, an up edge sets the channel to logic high, and a down edge clears the channel to logic low.  
th  
Down edges occur when the (N+1) bit in the PCA0 counter is one, and a logical inversion of the value in the  
module’s PCA0CPn register matches the main PCA0 counter register for the lowest N bits. For example, with 10-  
bit PWM, the down edge will occur when the one’s complement of bits 9-0 of the PCA0CPn register match bits 9-0  
of the PCA0 counter, and bit 10 of the PCA0 counter is ‘1’.  
th  
Up edges occur when the (N+1) bit in the PCA0 counter is zero, and the lowest N bits of the module’s PCA0CPn  
register match the value of (PCA0 - 1). For example, with 10-bit PWM, the up edge will occur when bits 9-0 of the  
PCA0CPn register are one less than bits 9-0 of the PCA0 counter, and bit 10 of the PCA0 counter is ‘0’.  
An example of the PWM timing in center-aligned mode for two channels is shown in Figure 20.7. In this example,  
the CEX0POL and CEX1POL bits are cleared to 0.

Figure 20.7. Center-Aligned PWM Timing  
Equation 20.4 describes the duty cycle when CEXnPOL in the PCA0POL regsiter is cleared to 0. Equation 20.5  
describes the duty cycle when CEXnPOL in the PCA0POL regsiter is set to 1. The equations are true only when  
the lowest N bits of the PCA0CPn register are not all 0’s or all 1’s. With CEXnPOL equal to zero, 100% duty cycle  
is produced when the lowest N bits of PCA0CPn are all 0, and 0% duty cycle is produced when the lowest N bits of  
PCA0CPn are all 1. For a given PCA resolution, the unused high bits in the PCA0 counter and the PCA0CPn  
compare registers are ignored, and only the used bits of the PCA0CPn register determine the duty cycle.

20.4.3. 8 to11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Modes  
Each module can be used independently to generate a pulse width modulated (PWM) output on its associated  
CEXn pin. The frequency of the output is dependent on the timebase for the PCA counter/timer, and the setting of  
the PWM cycle length (8 through 11-bits). For backwards-compatibility with the 8-bit PWM mode available on other  
devices, the 8-bit PWM mode operates slightly different than 9 through 11-bit PWM modes. It is important to note  
that all channels configured for 8 to 11-bit PWM mode will use the same cycle length. It is not possible to configure  
one channel for 8-bit PWM mode and another for 11-bit mode (for example). However, other PCA channels can be  
configured to Pin Capture, High-Speed Output, Software Timer, Frequency Output, or 16-bit PWM mode  
independently. Each channel configured for a PWM mode can be individually selected to operate in edge-aligned  
or center-aligned mode.  
20.4.3.1. 8-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
In 8-bit PWM mode, the duty cycle is determined by the value of the low byte of the PCA0CPn register  
(PCA0CPLn). To adjust the duty cycle, PCA0CPLn should not normally be written directly. Instead, it is  
recommended to adjust the duty cycle using the high byte of the PCA0CPn register (register PCA0CPHn). This  
allows seamless updating of the PWM waveform, as PCA0CPLn is reloaded automatically with the value stored in  
PCA0CPHn during the overflow edge (in edge-aligned mode) or the up edge (in center-aligned mode).  
Setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM  
to 00b enables 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be  
set each time a match edge or up edge occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow  
(falling edge), which will occur every 256 PCA clock cycles.  
20.4.3.2. 9 to 11-bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
In 9 to 11-bit PWM mode, the duty cycle is determined by the value of the least significant N bits of the PCA0CPn  
register, where N is the selected PWM resolution.  
To adjust the duty cycle, PCA0CPn should not normally be written directly. Instead, it is recommended to adjust the  
duty cycle by writing to an “Auto-Reload” register, which is dual-mapped into the PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn  
register locations. The data written to define the duty cycle should be right-justified in the registers. The auto-reload  
registers are accessed (read or written) when the bit ARSEL in PCA0PWM is set to 1. The capture/compare  
registers are accessed when ARSEL is set to 0. This allows seamless updating of the PWM waveform, as the  
PCA0CPn register is reloaded automatically with the value stored in the auto-reload registers during the overflow  
edge (in edge-aligned mode) or the up edge (in center-aligned mode).  
Setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register, and setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM  
to 00b enables 8-Bit Pulse Width Modulator mode. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be  
set each time a match edge or up edge occurs. The COVF flag in PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow or  
down edge.  
The 9 to 11-bit PWM mode is selected by setting the ECOMn and PWMn bits in the PCA0CPMn register, and  
setting the CLSEL bits in register PCA0PWM to the desired cycle length (other than 8-bits). If the MATn bit is set to  
1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time a match edge or up edge occurs. The COVF flag in  
PCA0PWM can be used to detect the overflow or down edge.  
Important Note About PCA0CPHn and PCA0CPLn Registers: When writing a 16-bit value to the PCA0CPn  
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.  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
157  
C8051F85x/86x  
20.4.4. 16-Bit Pulse Width Modulator Mode  
A PCA module may also be operated in 16-Bit PWM mode. 16-bit PWM mode is independent of the other (8  
through 11-bit) PWM modes. The entire PCA0CP register is used to determine the duty cycle in 16-bit PWM mode.  
To output a varying duty cycle, new value writes should be synchronized with the PCA CCFn match flag to ensure  
seamless updates.  
16-Bit PWM mode is enabled by setting the ECOMn, PWMn, and PWM16n bits in the PCA0CPMn register. For a  
varying duty cycle, the match interrupt flag should be enabled (ECCFn = 1 AND MATn = 1) to help synchronize the  
capture/compare register writes. If the MATn bit is set to 1, the CCFn flag for the module will be set each time a  
match edge or up edge occurs. The CF flag in PCA0CN can be used to detect the overflow or down edge.  
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.

20.5. Comparator Clear Function  
In 8/9/10/11/16-bit PWM modes, the comparator clear function utilizes the Comparator0 output synchronized to the  
system clock to clear CEXn to logic low for the current PWM cycle. This comparator clear function can be enabled  
for each PWM channel by setting the CPCEn bits to 1 in the PCA0CLR SFR. When the comparator clear function  
is disabled, CEXn is unaffected.  
The asynchronous Comparator 0 output is logic high when the voltage of CP0+ is greater than CP0- and logic low  
when the voltage of CP0+ is less than CP0-. The polarity of the Comparator 0 output is used to clear CEXn as  
follows: when CPCPOL = 0, CEXn is cleared on the falling edge of the Comparator0 output (see Figure 20.8);  
when CPCPOL = 1, CEXn is cleared on the rising edge of the Compartor0 output (see Figure 20.9).

or logic high when CPCPOL = 1, CEXn will continue to be cleared. See Figure 20.10 and Figure 20.11.

21. Port I/O (Port 0, Port 1, Port 2, Crossbar, and Port Match)  
Digital and analog resources on the C8051F85x/86x family are externally available on the device’s multi-purpose I/  
O pins. Port pins P0.0-P1.7 can be defined as general-purpose I/O (GPIO), assigned to one of the internal digital  
resources through the crossbar, or assigned to an analog function. Port pins P2.0 and P2.1 can be used as GPIO.  
Port pin P2.0 is shared with the C2 Interface Data signal (C2D). The designer has complete control over which  
functions are assigned, limited only by the number of physical I/O pins. 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 in  
the corresponding port latch, regardless of the crossbar settings.  
The crossbar assigns the selected internal digital resources to the I/O pins based on the Priority Decoder  
(Figure 21.2 and Figure 21.3). The registers XBR0, XBR1 and XBR2 are used to select internal digital functions.  
The port I/O cells are configured as either push-pull or open-drain in the Port Output Mode registers (PnMDOUT,  
where n = 0,1). Additionally, each bank of port pins (P0, P1, and P2) have two selectable drive strength settings.

C8051F85x/86x  
21.1. General Port I/O Initialization  
Port I/O initialization consists of the following steps:  
1. Select the input mode (analog or digital) for all port pins, using the Port Input Mode register (PnMDIN).  
2. Select the output mode (open-drain or push-pull) for all port pins, using the Port Output Mode register  
(PnMDOUT).  
3. Select any pins to be skipped by the I/O crossbar using the Port Skip registers (PnSKIP).  
4. Assign port pins to desired peripherals.  
5. Enable the crossbar (XBARE = ‘1’).  
All port pins must be configured as either analog or digital inputs. Any pins to be used as Comparator or ADC  
inputs should be configured as an analog inputs. When a pin is configured as an analog input, its weak pullup,  
digital driver, and digital receiver are disabled. This process saves power and reduces noise on the analog input.  
Pins configured as digital inputs may still be used by analog peripherals; however this practice is not  
recommended.  
Additionally, all analog input pins should be configured to be skipped by the crossbar (accomplished by setting the  
associated bits in PnSKIP). Port input mode is set in the PnMDIN register, where a ‘1’ indicates a digital input, and  
a ‘0’ indicates an analog input. All pins default to digital inputs on reset.  
The output driver characteristics of the I/O pins are defined using the Port Output Mode registers (PnMDOUT).  
Each port output driver can be configured as either open drain or push-pull. This selection is required even for the  
digital resources selected in the XBRn registers, and is not automatic. The only exception to this is the SMBus  
(SDA, SCL) pins, which are configured as open-drain regardless of the PnMDOUT settings. When the WEAKPUD  
bit in XBR1 is ‘0’, a weak pullup is enabled for all Port I/O configured as open-drain. WEAKPUD does not affect the  
push-pull Port I/O. Furthermore, the weak pullup is turned off on an output that is driving a ‘0’ to avoid unnecessary  
power dissipation.  
Registers XBR0 and XBR1 must be loaded with the appropriate values to select the digital I/O functions required  
by the design. Setting the XBARE bit in XBR2 to ‘1’ enables the crossbar. Until the crossbar is enabled, the  
external pins remain as standard port I/O (in input mode), regardless of the XBRn Register settings. For given  
XBRn Register settings, one can determine the I/O pin-out using the Priority Decode Table; as an alternative,  
Silicon Labs provides configuration utility software to determine the port I/O pin-assignments based on the  
crossbar register settings.  
The crossbar must be enabled to use port pins as standard port I/O in output mode. Port output drivers of all  
crossbar pins are disabled whenever the crossbar is disabled.

21.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog and Digital Functions  
Port I/O pins can be assigned to various analog, digital, and external interrupt functions. The port pins assigned to  
analog functions should be configured for analog I/O, and port pins assigned to digital or external interrupt  
functions should be configured for digital I/O.  
21.2.1. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Analog Functions  
Table 21.1 shows all available analog functions that require port I/O assignments. Table 21.1 shows the potential  
mapping of port I/O to each analog function.

21.2.2. Assigning Port I/O Pins to Digital Functions  
Any port pins not assigned to analog functions may be assigned to digital functions or used as GPIO. Most digital  
functions rely on the crossbar for pin assignment; however, some digital functions bypass the crossbar in a manner  
similar to the analog functions listed above. Table 21.2 shows all digital functions available through the crossbar  
and the potential mapping of port I/O to each function.

trigger events such as an ADC conversion, fire an interrupt or wake the device from idle mode when a transition  
occurs on a digital I/O pin. The fixed digital functions do not require dedicated pins and will function on both GPIO  
pins and pins in use by the crossbar. Fixed digital functions cannot be used on pins configured for analog I/O.

21.3. Priority Crossbar Decoder  
The priority crossbar decoder assigns a priority to each I/O function, starting at the top with UART0. When a digital  
resource is selected, the least-significant unassigned port pin is assigned to that resource (excluding UART0,  
which is always at pins P0.4 and P0.5). If a port pin is assigned, the crossbar skips that pin when assigning the  
next selected resource. Additionally, the crossbar will skip port pins whose associated bits in the PnSKIP registers  
are set. The PnSKIP registers allow software to skip port pins that are to be used for analog input, dedicated  
functions, or GPIO.  
Important Note on Crossbar Configuration: If a port pin is claimed by a peripheral without use of the crossbar,  
its corresponding PnSKIP bit should be set. This applies to P0.0 if VREF is used, P0.1 if AGND is used, P0.3 if the  
EXTCLK input is enabled, P0.6 if the ADC is configured to use the external conversion start signal (CNVSTR), and  
any selected ADC or comparator inputs. The crossbar skips selected pins as if they were already assigned, and  
moves to the next unassigned pin.  
Figure 21.2 shows all of the potential peripheral-to-pin assignments available to the crossbar. Note that this does  
not mean any peripheral can always be assigned to the highlighted pins. The actual pin assignments are  
determined by the priority of the enabled peripherals.

Registers XBR0, XBR1 and XBR2 are used to assign the digital I/O resources to the physical I/O port pins. Note  
that when the SMBus is selected, the crossbar assigns both pins associated with the SMBus (SDA and SCL);  
when UART0 is selected, the crossbar assigns both pins associated with UART0 (TX and RX). UART0 pin  
assignments are fixed for bootloading purposes: UART0 TX is always assigned to P0.4; UART0 RX is always  
assigned to P0.5. Standard port I/Os appear contiguously after the prioritized functions have been assigned.  
Figure 21.3 shows an example of the resulting pin assignments of the device with UART0 and SPI0 enabled and  
the EXTCLK (P0.3) pin skipped (P0SKIP = 0x08). UART0 is the highest priority and it will be assigned first. The  
UART0 pins can only appear on P0.4 and P0.5, so that is where it is assigned. The next-highest enabled peripheral  
is SPI0. P0.0, P0.1 and P0.2 are free, so SPI0 takes these three pins. The fourth pin, NSS, is routed to P0.6  
because P0.3 is skipped and P0.4 and P0.5 are already occupied by the UART. The other pins on the device are  
available for use as general-purpose digital I/O or analog functions.

Figure 21.3. Crossbar Priority Decoder Example  
Note: The SPI can be operated in either 3-wire or 4-wire modes, pending the state of the NSSMD1–NSSMD0 bits  
in register SPI0CN. According to the SPI mode, the NSS signal may or may not be routed to a port pin. The order  
in which SMBus pins are assigned is defined by the SWAP bit in the SMB0TC register.

21.4. Port I/O Modes of Operation  
Port pins are configured by firmware as digital or analog I/O using the PnMDIN registers. On reset, all port I/O cells  
default to a high impedance state with weak pull-ups enabled. Until the crossbar is enabled, both the high and low  
port I/O drive circuits are explicitly disabled on all crossbar pins. Port pins configured as digital I/O may still be used  
by analog peripherals; however, this practice is not recommended and may result in measurement errors.  
21.4.1. Configuring Port Pins For Analog Modes  
Any pins to be used for analog functions should be configured for analog mode. When a pin is configured for  
analog I/O, its weak pullup, digital driver, and digital receiver are disabled. Port pins configured for analog functions  
will always read back a value of ‘0’ in the corresponding Pn Port Latch register. To configure a pin as analog, the  
following steps should be taken:  
1. Clear the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDIN register to ‘0’. This selects analog mode for the pin.  
2. Set the bit associated with the pin in the Pn register to ‘1’.  
3. Skip the bit associated with the pin in the PnSKIP register to ensure the crossbar does not attempt to  
assign a function to the pin.  
21.4.2. Configuring Port Pins For Digital Modes  
Any pins to be used by digital peripherals or as GPIO should be configured as digital I/O (PnMDIN.n = ‘1’). For  
digital I/O pins, one of two output modes (push-pull or open-drain) must be selected using the PnMDOUT registers.  
Push-pull outputs (PnMDOUT.n = ‘1’) drive the port pad to the supply rails based on the output logic value of the  
port pin. Open-drain outputs have the high side driver disabled; therefore, they only drive the port pad to the low-  
side rail when the output logic value is ‘0’ and become high impedance inputs (both high low drivers turned off)  
when the output logic value is ‘1’.  
When a digital I/O cell is placed in the high impedance state, a weak pull-up transistor pulls the port pad to the high-  
side rail to ensure the digital input is at a defined logic state. Weak pull-ups are disabled when the I/O cell is driven  
low to minimize power consumption, and they may be globally disabled by setting WEAKPUD to ‘1’. The user  
should ensure that digital I/O are always internally or externally pulled or driven to a valid logic state to minimize  
power consumption. Port pins configured for digital I/O always read back the logic state of the port pad, regardless  
of the output logic value of the port pin.  
To configure a pin as digital input:  
1. Set the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDIN register to ‘1’. This selects digital mode for the pin.  
2. Clear the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDOUT register to ‘0’. This configures the pin as open-drain.  
3. Set the bit associated with the pin in the Pn register to ‘1’. This tells the output driver to “drive” logic high.  
Because the pin is configured as open-drain, the high-side driver is not active, and the pin may be used as  
an input.  
Open-drain outputs are configured exactly as digital inputs. However, the pin may be driven low by an assigned  
peripheral, or by writing ‘0’ to the associated bit in the Pn register if the signal is a GPIO.  
To configure a pin as a digital, push-pull output:  
1. Set the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDIN register to ‘1’. This selects digital mode for the pin.  
2. Set the bit associated with the pin in the PnMDOUT register to ‘1’. This configures the pin as push-pull.  
If a digital pin is to be used as a general-purpose I/O, or with a digital function that is not part of the crossbar, the bit  
associated with the pin in the PnSKIP register can be set to ‘1’ to ensure the crossbar does not attempt to assign a  
function to the pin.  
21.4.3. Port Drive Strength  
Port drive strength can be controlled on a port-by-port basis using the PRTDRV register. Each port has a bit in  
PRTDRV to select the high or low drive strength setting for all pins on that port. By default, all ports are configured  
for high drive strength.

21.5. Port Match  
Port match functionality allows system events to be triggered by a logic value change on one or more port I/O pins.  
A software controlled value stored in the PnMATCH registers specifies the expected or normal logic values of the  
associated port pins (for example, P0MATCH.0 would correspond to P0.0). A port mismatch event occurs if the  
logic levels of the port’s input pins no longer match the software controlled value. This allows software to be notified  
if a certain change or pattern occurs on the input pins regardless of the XBRn settings.  
The PnMASK registers can be used to individually select which pins should be compared against the PnMATCH  
registers. A port mismatch event is generated if (Pn & PnMASK) does not equal (PnMATCH & PnMASK) for all  
ports with a PnMAT and PnMASK register.  
A port mismatch event may be used to generate an interrupt or wake the device from idle mode. See the interrupts  
and power options chapters for more details on interrupt and wake-up sources.  
21.6. Direct Read/Write Access to Port I/O Pins  
All port I/O are accessed through corresponding special function registers (SFRs) that are both byte addressable  
and bit addressable. When writing to a port, the value written to the SFR is latched to maintain the output data  
value at each pin. When reading, the logic levels of the port's input pins are returned regardless of the XBRn  
settings (i.e., even when the pin is assigned to another signal by the crossbar, the port register can always read its  
corresponding port I/O pin). The exception to this is the execution of the read-modify-write instructions that target a  
Port Latch register as the destination. The read-modify-write instructions when operating on a port SFR are the  
following: ANL, ORL, XRL, JBC, CPL, INC, DEC, DJNZ and MOV, CLR or SETB, when the destination is an  
individual bit in a port SFR. For these instructions, the value of the latch register (not the pin) is read, modified, and  
written back to the SFR.

22. Reset Sources and Supply Monitor  
Reset circuitry allows the controller to be easily placed in a predefined default condition. Upon entering this reset  
state, the following events occur:  
CIP-51 halts program execution  
Special Function Registers (SFRs) are initialized to their defined reset values  
External port pins are placed in 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  
memory 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 is not altered.  
The Port I/O latches are reset to 0xFF (all logic ones) in open-drain, low-drive mode. Weak pullups are enabled  
during and after the reset. For V Monitor and power-on resets, the RST pin is driven low until the device exits the  
DD  
reset state. Note that during a power-on event, there may be a short delay before the POR circuitry fires and the  
RST pin is driven low. During that time, the RST pin will be weakly pulled to the V supply pin.  
DD  
On exit from the reset state, the program counter (PC) is reset, the Watchdog Timer is enabled and the system  
clock defaults to the internal oscillator. Program execution begins at location 0x0000.

22.1. Power-On Reset  
During power-up, the POR circuit will fire. When POR fires, the device is held in a reset state and the RST pin is  
driven low until V settles above V . Two delays are present during the supply ramp time. First, a delay will  
DD  
RST  
occur before the POR circuitry fires and pulls the RST pin low. A second delay occurs before the device is released  
from reset; the delay decreases as the V ramp time increases (V ramp time is defined as how fast V ramps  
DD  
DD  
DD  
from 0 V to V  
). Figure 22.2. plots the power-on reset timing. For ramp times less than 1 ms, the power-on reset  
RST  
time (T  
) is typically less than 0.3 ms. Additionally, the power supply must reach V  
before the POR circuit will  
POR  
RST  
release the device from reset.  
On exit from a power-on reset, the PORSF flag (RSTSRC.1) is set by hardware to logic 1. When PORSF is set, all  
of the other reset flags in the RSTSRC Register are indeterminate (PORSF is cleared by all other resets). Since all  
resets cause program execution 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 content of internal data memory should be assumed to be  
undefined after a power-on reset. The V monitor is enabled following a power-on reset.

22.2. Power-Fail Reset / Supply Monitor  
C8051F85x/86x devices have a supply monitor that is enabled and selected as a reset source after each power-on.  
The supply monitor senses the voltage on the device VDD supply and can generate a reset if the supply drops  
below the corresponding threshold. This monitor is enabled and enabled as a reset source after initial power-on to  
protect the device until VDD is an adequate and stable voltage.  
When enabled and selected as a reset source, any power down transition or power irregularity that causes VDD to  
drop below the reset threshold will drive the RST pin low and hold the core in a reset state. When VDD returns to a  
level above the reset threshold, the monitor will release the core from the reset state. The reset status can then be  
read using the device reset sources module. After a power-fail reset, the PORF flag reads 1 and all of the other  
reset flags in the RSTSRC Register are indeterminate. The power-on reset delay (t  
) is not incurred after a  
POR  
supply monitor reset. The contents of RAM should be presumed invalid after a VDD monitor reset.  
The enable state of the VDD supply monitor and its selection as a reset source is not altered by device resets. For  
example, if the VDD supply monitor is de-selected as a reset source and disabled by software, and then firmware  
performs a software reset, the VDD supply monitor will remain disabled and de-selected after the reset.  
To protect the integrity of flash contents, the VDD supply monitor must be enabled and selected as a reset source  
if software contains routines that erase or write flash memory. If the VDD supply monitor is not enabled, any erase  
or write performed on flash memory will be ignored.

22.3. Enabling the VDD Monitor  
The VDD supply monitor is enabled by default. However, in systems which disable the supply monitor, it must be  
enabled before selecting it as a reset source. Selecting the VDD supply monitor as a reset source before it has  
stabilized may generate a system reset. In systems where this reset would be undesirable, a delay should be  
introduced between enabling the VDD supply monitor and selecting it as a reset source. No delay should be  
introduced in systems where software contains routines that erase or write flash memory. The procedure for  
enabling the VDD supply monitor and selecting it as a reset source is:  
1. Enable the VDD supply monitor (VMONEN = 1).  
2. Wait for the VDD supply monitor to stabilize (optional).  
3. Enable the VDD monitor as a reset source in the RSTSRC register.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
22.4. External Reset  
The external RST pin provides a means for external circuitry to force the device into a reset state. Asserting an  
active-low signal on the RST pin generates a reset; an external pullup and/or decoupling of the RST pin may be  
necessary to avoid erroneous noise-induced resets. The PINRSF flag is set on exit from an external reset.  
22.5. Missing Clock Detector Reset  
The Missing Clock Detector (MCD) is a one-shot circuit that is triggered by the system clock. If the system clock  
remains high or low for more than the MCD time window, the one-shot will time out and generate a reset. After a  
MCD reset, the MCDRSF flag will read 1, signifying the MCD as the reset source; otherwise, this bit reads 0.  
Writing a 1 to the MCDRSF bit enables the Missing Clock Detector; writing a 0 disables it. The state of the RST pin  
is unaffected by this reset.  
22.6. Comparator0 Reset  
Comparator0 can be configured as a reset source by writing a 1 to the C0RSEF flag. Comparator0 should be  
enabled and allowed to settle 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 (on CP0+) is  
less than the inverting input voltage (on CP0-), the device is put into the reset state. After a Comparator0 reset, the  
C0RSEF flag 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.  
22.7. Watchdog Timer Reset  
The programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) can be used to prevent software from running out of control during a  
system malfunction. The WDT function can be enabled or disabled by software as described in the watchdog timer  
section. If a system malfunction prevents user software from updating the WDT, a reset is generated and the  
WDTRSF bit is set to ‘1’. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
22.8. Flash Error Reset  
If a flash read/write/erase or program read targets an illegal address, a system reset is generated. This may occur  
due to any of the following:  
A flash write or erase is attempted above user code space.  
A flash read is attempted above user code space.  
A program read is attempted above user code space (i.e. a branch instruction to the reserved area).  
A flash read, write or erase attempt is restricted due to a flash security setting.  
The FERROR bit is set following a flash error reset. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.  
22.9. Software Reset  
Software may force a reset by writing a 1 to the SWRSF bit. The SWRSF bit will read 1 following a software forced  
reset. The state of the RST pin is unaffected by this reset.

The serial peripheral interface (SPI0) provides access to a flexible, full-duplex synchronous serial bus. SPI0 can  
operate as a master or slave device in both 3-wire or 4-wire modes, and supports multiple masters and slaves on a  
single SPI bus. The slave-select (NSS) signal can be configured as an input to select SPI0 in slave mode, or to  
disable Master Mode operation in a multi-master environment, avoiding contention on the SPI bus when more than  
one master attempts simultaneous data transfers. NSS can also be configured as a chip-select output in master  
mode, or disabled for 3-wire operation. Additional general purpose port I/O pins can be used to select multiple  
slave devices in master mode.

The four signals used by SPI0 (MOSI, MISO, SCK, NSS) are described below.

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. When configured as a  
master, MOSI is driven by the MSB of the shift register in both 3- and 4-wire mode.  
23.1.2. 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. The MISO pin  
is placed in a high-impedance state when the SPI module is disabled and when the SPI operates in 4-wire mode as  
a slave that is not selected. When acting as a slave in 3-wire mode, MISO is always driven by the MSB of the shift  
register.  
23.1.3. 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  
synchronize the transfer of data between the master and slave on the MOSI and MISO lines. SPI0 generates this  
signal when operating as a master. The SCK signal is ignored by a SPI slave when the slave is not selected  
(NSS = 1) in 4-wire slave mode.  
23.1.4. Slave Select (NSS)  
The function of the slave-select (NSS) signal is dependent on the setting of the NSSMD1 and NSSMD0 bits in the  
SPI0CN register. There are three possible modes that can be selected with these bits:  
1. NSSMD[1:0] = 00: 3-Wire Master or 3-Wire Slave Mode: SPI0 operates in 3-wire mode, and NSS is  
disabled. When operating as a slave device, SPI0 is always selected in 3-wire mode. Since no select signal  
is present, SPI0 must be the only slave on the bus in 3-wire mode. This is intended for point-to-point  
communication between a master and one slave.  
2. NSSMD[1:0] = 01: 4-Wire Slave or Multi-Master Mode: SPI0 operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is enabled  
as an input. When operating as a slave, NSS selects the SPI0 device. When operating as a master, a 1-to-  
0 transition of the NSS signal disables the master function of SPI0 so that multiple master devices can be  
used on the same SPI bus.  
3. NSSMD[1:0] = 1x: 4-Wire Master Mode: SPI0 operates in 4-wire mode, and NSS is enabled as an output.  
The setting of NSSMD0 determines what logic level the NSS pin will output. This configuration should only  
be used when operating SPI0 as a master device.  
See Figure 23.2, Figure 23.3, and Figure 23.4 for typical connection diagrams of the various operational modes.  
Note that the setting of NSSMD bits affects the pinout of the device. When in 3-wire master or 3-wire slave  
mode, the NSS pin will not be mapped by the crossbar. In all other modes, the NSS signal will be mapped to a pin  
on the device.

23.2. SPI0 Master Mode Operation  
A SPI master device initiates all data transfers on a SPI bus. SPI0 is placed in master mode by setting the Master  
Enable flag (MSTEN, SPI0CN.6). Writing a byte of data to the SPI0 data register (SPI0DAT) when in master mode  
writes to the transmit buffer. If the SPI shift register is empty, the byte in the transmit buffer is moved to the shift  
register, and a data transfer begins. 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. 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. Therefore, the SPIF flag serves as both a transmit-  
complete and receive-data-ready flag. The data byte received from the slave is transferred MSB-first into the  
master's shift register. When a byte is fully shifted into the register, it is moved to the receive buffer where it can be  
read by the processor by reading SPI0DAT.  
When configured as a master, SPI0 can operate in one of three different modes: multi-master mode, 3-wire single-  
master mode, and 4-wire single-master mode. The default, multi-master mode is active when NSSMD1  
(SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 1. In this mode, NSS is an input to the device, and is used to disable  
the master SPI0 when another master is accessing the bus. When NSS is pulled low in this mode, MSTEN  
(SPI0CN.6) and SPIEN (SPI0CN.0) are set to 0 to disable the SPI master device, and a Mode Fault is generated  
(MODF, SPI0CN.5 = 1). Mode Fault will generate an interrupt if enabled. SPI0 must be manually re-enabled in  
software under these circumstances. In multi-master systems, devices will typically default to being slave devices  
while they are not acting as the system master device. In multi-master mode, slave devices can be addressed  
individually (if needed) using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 23.2 shows a connection diagram between two  
master devices and a single slave in multiple-master mode.  
3-wire single-master mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 0. In this mode,  
NSS is not used, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Any slave devices that must be  
addressed in this mode should be selected using general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 23.3 shows a connection  
diagram between a master device in 3-wire master mode and a slave device.  
4-wire single-master mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 1. In this mode, NSS is configured as an output  
pin, and can be used as a slave-select signal for a single SPI device. In this mode, the output value of NSS is  
controlled (in software) with the bit NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2). Additional slave devices can be addressed using  
general-purpose I/O pins. Figure 23.4 shows a connection diagram for a master device and a slave device in 4-  
wire mode.

23.3. SPI0 Slave Mode Operation  
When SPI0 is enabled and not configured as a master, it will operate as a SPI slave. As a slave, bytes are shifted  
in through the MOSI pin and out through the MISO pin by a master device controlling the SCK signal. A bit counter  
in the SPI0 logic counts SCK edges. When 8 bits have been shifted through the shift register, the SPIF flag is set to  
logic 1, and the byte is copied into the receive buffer. Data is read from the receive buffer by reading SPI0DAT. A  
slave device cannot initiate transfers. Data to be transferred to the master device is pre-loaded into the shift  
register by writing to SPI0DAT. Writes to SPI0DAT are double-buffered, and are placed in the transmit buffer first. If  
the shift register is empty, the contents of the transmit buffer will immediately be transferred into the shift register.  
When the shift register already contains data, the SPI will load the shift register with the transmit buffer’s contents  
after the last SCK edge of the next (or current) SPI transfer.  
When configured as a slave, SPI0 can be configured for 4-wire or 3-wire operation. The default, 4-wire slave mode,  
is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 1. In 4-wire mode, the NSS signal is routed to  
a port pin and configured as a digital input. SPI0 is enabled when NSS is logic 0, and disabled when NSS is logic 1.  
The bit counter is reset on a falling edge of NSS. 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. Figure 23.4 shows a connection diagram between  
two slave devices in 4-wire slave mode and a master device.  
The 3-wire slave mode is active when NSSMD1 (SPI0CN.3) = 0 and NSSMD0 (SPI0CN.2) = 0. NSS is not used in  
this mode, and is not mapped to an external port pin through the crossbar. Since there is no way of uniquely  
addressing the device in 3-wire slave mode, SPI0 must be the only slave device present on the bus. It is important  
to note that in 3-wire slave mode there is no external means of resetting the bit counter that determines when a full  
byte has been received. The bit counter can only be reset by disabling and re-enabling SPI0 with the SPIEN bit.  
Figure 23.3 shows a connection diagram between a slave device in 3-wire slave mode and a master device.  
23.4. SPI0 Interrupt Sources  
When SPI0 interrupts are enabled, the following four flags will generate an interrupt when they are set to logic 1:  
All of the following bits must be cleared by software.  
The SPI Interrupt Flag, SPIF (SPI0CN.7) is set to logic 1 at the end of each byte transfer. This flag can  
occur in all SPI0 modes.  
The Write Collision Flag, WCOL (SPI0CN.6) is set to logic 1 if a write to SPI0DAT is attempted when the  
transmit buffer has not been emptied to the SPI shift register. When this occurs, the write to SPI0DAT will  
be ignored, and the transmit buffer will not be written.This flag can occur in all SPI0 modes.  
The Mode Fault Flag MODF (SPI0CN.5) is set to logic 1 when SPI0 is configured as a master, and for  
multi-master mode and the NSS pin is pulled low. When a Mode Fault occurs, the MSTEN and SPIEN bits  
in SPI0CN are set to logic 0 to disable SPI0 and allow another master device to access the bus.  
The Receive Overrun Flag RXOVRN (SPI0CN.4) is set to logic 1 when configured as a slave, and a  
transfer is completed and the receive buffer still holds an unread byte from a previous transfer. The new  
byte is not transferred to the receive buffer, allowing the previously received data byte to be read. The data  
byte which caused the overrun is lost.  
23.5. Serial Clock Phase and Polarity  
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.5) selects one of two clock phases (edge used to  
latch the data). The CKPOL bit (SPI0CFG.4) 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. SPI0 should be disabled (by clearing  
the SPIEN bit, SPI0CN.0) when changing the clock phase or polarity. The clock and data line relationships for  
master mode are shown in Figure 23.5. For slave mode, the clock and data relationships are shown in Figure 23.6  
and Figure 23.7. Note that CKPHA should be set to 0 on both the master and slave SPI when communicating  
between two Silicon Labs C8051 devices.  
218  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
The SPI0 Clock Rate Register (SPI0CKR) controls the master mode serial clock frequency. This register is ignored  
when operating in slave mode. When the SPI is configured as a master, the maximum data transfer rate (bits/sec)  
is one-half the system clock frequency or 12.5 MHz, whichever is slower. 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 (in 4-wire slave mode), and the serial input data synchronously with the slave’s  
system clock. If the master issues SCK, NSS, and the serial input data asynchronously, the maximum data transfer  
rate (bits/sec) must be less than 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 slave’s system clock.

Shift Register Empty (valid in slave mode only).  
This bit will be set to logic 1 when all data has been transferred in/out of the shift register,  
and there is no new information available to read from the transmit buffer or write to the

Note: In slave mode, data on MOSI is sampled in the center of each data bit. In master mode, data on MISO is sampled one  
SYSCLK before the end of each data bit, to provide maximum settling time for the slave device.

24. System Management Bus / I2C (SMBus0)  
The SMBus I/O interface is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus. The SMBus is compliant with the System  
2
Management Bus Specification, version 1.1, and compatible with the I C serial bus.  
Reads and writes to the SMBus by the system controller are byte oriented with the SMBus interface autonomously  
controlling the serial transfer of the data. Data can be transferred at up to 1/20th of the system clock as a master or  
slave (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 available to accommodate devices with different speed capabilities on the  
same bus.  
The SMBus may operate as a master and/or slave, and may function on a bus with multiple masters. The SMBus  
provides control of SDA (serial data), SCL (serial clock) generation and synchronization, arbitration logic, and  
START/STOP control and generation. The SMBus peripherals can be fully driven by software (i.e., software  
accepts/rejects slave addresses, and generates ACKs), or hardware slave address recognition and automatic ACK  
generation can be enabled to minimize software overhead. A block diagram of the SMBus0 peripheral is shown in  
Figure 24.1.

24.2. SMBus Configuration  
Figure 24.2 shows a typical SMBus configuration. The SMBus specification allows any recessive voltage between  
3.0 V and 5.0 V; different devices on the bus may operate at different voltage levels. However, the maximum  
voltage on any port pin must conform to the electrical characteristics specifications. The bi-directional SCL (serial  
clock) and SDA (serial data) lines must be connected to a positive power supply voltage through a pullup 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 (recessive state) 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 not exceed 300 ns and  
1000 ns, respectively.

24.3. SMBus Operation  
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  
initiates both types of data transfers and provides the serial clock pulses on SCL. The SMBus interface may  
operate as a master or a slave, and 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. 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 the duration of 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. Bytes that are received (by a  
master or slave) are acknowledged (ACK) with a low SDA during a high SCL (see Figure 24.3). If the receiving  
device does not ACK, the transmitting device will read a NACK (not acknowledge), which is a high SDA during a  
high SCL.  
The direction bit (R/W) occupies the least-significant bit position of the address byte. The direction bit is set to logic  
1 to indicate a "READ" operation and cleared to logic 0 to indicate a "WRITE" operation.  
230  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
All transactions are initiated by a master, with one or more addressed slave devices as the target. The master  
generates the START condition and then transmits the slave address and direction bit. If the transaction is a  
WRITE operation 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 24.3 illustrates a typical SMBus transaction.

24.3.1. Transmitter vs. Receiver  
On the SMBus communications interface, a device is the “transmitter” when it is sending an address or data byte to  
another device on the bus. A device is a “receiver” when an address or data byte is being sent to it from another  
device on the bus. The transmitter controls the SDA line during the address or data byte. After each byte of  
address or data information is sent by the transmitter, the receiver sends an ACK or NACK bit during the ACK  
phase of the transfer, during which time the receiver controls the SDA line.  
24.3.2. 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 “24.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout” on page 232). 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 lose the arbitration. The winning master continues its transmission without  
interruption; the losing master becomes a slave and receives the rest of the transfer if addressed. This arbitration  
scheme is non-destructive: one device always wins, and no data is lost.  
24.3.3. Clock Low Extension  
SMBus provides a clock synchronization mechanism, similar to I2C, which allows devices with different speed  
capabilities 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.  
24.3.4. SCL Low Timeout  
If the SCL line is held low by a slave device on the bus, no further communication is possible. Furthermore, the  
master 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” condition. Devices that have detected the timeout condition must reset the communication no later than  
10 ms after detecting the timeout condition.  
For the SMBus0 interface, Timer 3 is used to implement SCL low timeouts. The SCL low timeout feature is enabled  
by setting the SMB0TOE bit in SMB0CF. The associated timer is forced to reload when SCL is high, and allowed to  
count when SCL is low. With the associated timer enabled and configured to overflow after 25 ms (and SMB0TOE  
set), the timer interrupt service routine can be used to reset (disable and re-enable) the SMBus in the event of an  
SCL low timeout.  
Preliminary Rev 0.6

C8051F85x/86x  
24.3.5. SCL High (SMBus Free) Timeout  
The SMBus specification stipulates that if the SCL and SDA lines remain high for more that 50 µs, the bus is  
designated as free. When the SMB0FTE bit in SMB0CF is set, the bus will be considered free if SCL and SDA  
remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (as defined by the timer configured for the SMBus clock  
source). If the SMBus is waiting to generate a Master START, the START will be generated following this timeout. A  
clock source is required for free timeout detection, even in a slave-only implementation.  
24.4. Using the SMBus  
The SMBus can operate in both Master and Slave modes. The interface provides timing and shifting control for  
serial transfers; higher level protocol is determined by user software. The SMBus interface provides the following  
application-independent features:  
Byte-wise serial data transfers  
Clock signal generation on SCL (Master Mode only) and SDA data synchronization  
Timeout/bus error recognition, as defined by the SMB0CF configuration register  
START/STOP timing, detection, and generation  
Bus arbitration  
Interrupt generation  
Status information  
Optional hardware recognition of slave address and automatic acknowledgement of address/data  
SMBus interrupts are generated for each data byte or slave address that is transferred. When hardware  
acknowledgement is disabled, the point at which the interrupt is generated depends on whether the hardware is  
acting as a data transmitter or receiver. When a transmitter (i.e., sending address/data, receiving an ACK), this  
interrupt is generated after the ACK cycle so that software may read the received ACK value; when receiving data  
(i.e., receiving address/data, sending an ACK), this interrupt is generated before the ACK cycle so that software  
may define the outgoing ACK value. If hardware acknowledgement is enabled, these interrupts are always  
generated after the ACK cycle. See Section 24.5 for more details on transmission sequences.  
Interrupts are also generated to indicate the beginning of a transfer when a master (START generated), or the end  
of a transfer when a slave (STOP detected). Software should read the SMB0CN (SMBus Control register) to find  
the cause of the SMBus interrupt. Table 24.5 provides a quick SMB0CN decoding reference.  
24.4.1. SMBus Configuration Register  
The SMBus Configuration register (SMB0CF) is used to enable the SMBus Master and/or Slave modes, select the  
SMBus clock source, and select the SMBus timing and timeout options. When the ENSMB bit is set, the SMBus is  
enabled for all master and slave events. Slave events may be disabled by setting the INH bit. With slave events  
inhibited, the SMBus interface will still monitor the SCL and SDA pins; however, the interface will NACK all  
received addresses and will not generate any slave interrupts. When the INH bit is set, all slave events will be  
inhibited following the next START (interrupts will continue for the duration of the current transfer).

The SMBCS bit field selects the SMBus clock source, which is used only when operating as a master or when the  
Free Timeout detection is enabled. When operating as a master, overflows from the selected source determine the  
absolute minimum SCL low and high times as defined in Equation 24.1.The selected clock source may be shared  
by other peripherals so long as the timer is left running at all times.

The selected clock source should be configured to establish the minimum SCL High and Low times as per  
Equation 24.1. When the interface is operating as a master (and SCL is not driven or extended by any other  
devices on the bus), the typical SMBus bit rate is approximated by Equation 24.2.

Setting the EXTHOLD bit extends the minimum setup and hold times for the SDA line. The minimum SDA setup  
time defines the absolute minimum time that SDA is stable before SCL transitions from low-to-high. The minimum  
SDA hold time defines the absolute minimum time that the current SDA value remains stable after SCL transitions  
from high-to-low. EXTHOLD should be set so that the minimum setup and hold times meet the SMBus  
Specification requirements of 250 ns and 300 ns, respectively. Table 24.2 shows the minimum setup and hold  
times for the two EXTHOLD settings. Setup and hold time extensions are typically necessary for SMBus  
compliance when SYSCLK is above 10 MHz.

w delay occurs between the time SMB0DAT or ACK is written and when SI0 is cleared. Note that if SI is cleared in the  
same write that defines the outgoing ACK value, s/w delay is zero.  
With the SMBTOE bit set, Timer 3 should be configured to overflow after 25 ms in order to detect SCL low timeouts  
(see Section “24.3.4. SCL Low Timeout” on page 231). The SMBus interface will force the associated timer to  
reload while SCL is high, and allow the timer to count when SCL is low. The timer interrupt service routine should  
be used to reset SMBus communication by disabling and re-enabling the SMBus.  
SMBus Free Timeout detection can be enabled by setting the SMBFTE bit. When this bit is set, the bus will be  
considered free if SDA and SCL remain high for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods (see Figure 24.4).  
24.4.2. SMBus Pin Swap  
The SMBus peripheral is assigned to pins using the priority crossbar decoder. By default, the SMBus signals are  
assigned to port pins starting with SDA on the lower-numbered pin, and SCL on the next available pin. The SWAP  
bit in the SMBTC register can be set to 1 to reverse the order in which the SMBus signals are assigned.  
24.4.3. SMBus Timing Control  
The SDD field in the SMBTC register is used to restrict the detection of a START condition under certain  
circumstances. In some systems where there is significant mis-match between the impedance or the capacitance  
on the SDA and SCL lines, it may be possible for SCL to fall after SDA during an address or data transfer. Such an  
event can cause a false START detection on the bus. These kind of events are not expected in a standard SMBus  
or I2C-compliant system. In most systems this parameter should not be adjusted, and it is recommended  
that it be left at its default value.  
By default, if the SCL falling edge is detected after the falling edge of SDA (i.e. one SYSCLK cycle or more), the  
device will detect this as a START condition. The SDD field is used to increase the amount of hold time that is  
required between SDA and SCL falling before a START is recognized. An additional 2, 4, or 8 SYSCLKs can be  
added to prevent false START detection in systems where the bus conditions warrant this.  
24.4.4. SMB0CN Control Register  
SMB0CN is used to control the interface and to provide status information. The higher four bits of SMB0CN  
(MASTER, TXMODE, STA, and STO) form a status vector that can be used to jump to service routines. MASTER  
indicates whether a device is the master or slave during the current transfer. TXMODE indicates whether the  
device is transmitting or receiving data for the current byte.  
STA and STO indicate that a START and/or STOP has been detected or generated since the last SMBus interrupt.  
STA and STO are also used to generate START and STOP conditions when operating as a master. Writing a 1 to  
STA will cause the SMBus interface to enter Master Mode and generate a START when the bus becomes free  
(STA is not cleared by hardware after the START is generated). Writing a 1 to STO while in Master Mode will cause  
the interface to generate a STOP and end the current transfer after the next ACK cycle. If STO and STA are both  
set (while in Master Mode), a STOP followed by a START will be generated.  
The ARBLOST bit indicates that the interface has lost an arbitration. This may occur anytime the interface is  
transmitting (master or slave). A lost arbitration while operating as a slave indicates a bus error condition.  
ARBLOST is cleared by hardware each time SI is cleared.  
The SI bit (SMBus Interrupt Flag) is set at the beginning and end of each transfer, after each byte frame, or when  
an arbitration is lost; see Table 24.3 for more details.  
Important Note About the SI Bit: The SMBus interface is stalled while SI is set; thus SCL is held low, and the bus  
is stalled until software clears SI.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
24.4.4.1. Software ACK Generation  
When the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM is cleared to 0, the firmware on the device must detect incoming slave  
addresses and ACK or NACK the slave address and incoming data bytes. As a receiver, writing the ACK bit defines  
the outgoing ACK value; as a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates the value received during the last ACK  
cycle. ACKRQ is set each time a byte is received, indicating that an outgoing ACK value is needed. When ACKRQ  
is set, software should write the desired outgoing value to the ACK bit before clearing SI. A NACK will be generated  
if software does not write the ACK bit before clearing SI. SDA will reflect the defined ACK value immediately  
following a write to the ACK bit; however SCL will remain low until SI is cleared. If a received slave address is not  
acknowledged, further slave events will be ignored until the next START is detected.  
24.4.4.2. Hardware ACK Generation  
When the EHACK bit in register SMB0ADM is set to 1, automatic slave address recognition and ACK generation is  
enabled. More detail about automatic slave address recognition can be found in Section 24.4.5. As a receiver, the  
value currently specified by the ACK bit will be automatically sent on the bus during the ACK cycle of an incoming  
data byte. As a transmitter, reading the ACK bit indicates the value received on the last ACK cycle. The ACKRQ bit  
is not used when hardware ACK generation is enabled. If a received slave address is NACKed by hardware,  
further slave events will be ignored until the next START is detected, and no interrupt will be generated.

24.4.5. Hardware Slave Address Recognition  
The SMBus hardware has the capability to automatically recognize incoming slave addresses and send an ACK  
without software intervention. Automatic slave address recognition is enabled by setting the EHACK bit in register  
SMB0ADM to 1. This will enable both automatic slave address recognition and automatic hardware ACK  
generation for received bytes (as a master or slave). More detail on automatic hardware ACK generation can be  
found in Section 24.4.4.2.  
The registers used to define which address(es) are recognized by the hardware are the SMBus Slave Address  
register and the SMBus Slave Address Mask register. A single address or range of addresses (including the  
General Call Address 0x00) can be specified using these two registers. The most-significant seven bits of the two  
registers are used to define which addresses will be ACKed. A 1 in a bit of the slave address mask SLVM enables  
a comparison between the received slave address and the hardware’s slave address SLV for that bit. A 0 in a bit of  
the slave address mask means that bit will be treated as a “don’t care” for comparison purposes. In this case, either  
a 1 or a 0 value are acceptable on the incoming slave address. Additionally, if the GC bit in register SMB0ADR is  
set to 1, hardware will recognize the General Call Address (0x00). Table 24.4 shows some example parameter  
settings and the slave addresses that will be recognized by hardware under those conditions.

24.4.6. Data Register  
The SMBus Data register SMB0DAT holds a byte of serial data to be transmitted or one that has just been  
received. Software may safely read or write to the data register when the SI flag is set. Software should not attempt  
to access the SMB0DAT register when the SMBus is enabled and the SI flag is cleared to logic 0, as the interface  
may be in the process of shifting a byte of data into 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.  
SMB0DAT always contains the last data byte present on the bus. In the event of lost arbitration, the transition from  
master transmitter to slave receiver is made with the correct data or address in SMB0DAT.

Preliminary Rev 0.6  
C8051F85x/86x  
24.5. SMBus Transfer Modes  
The SMBus interface may be configured to operate as master and/or slave. At any particular time, it will be  
operating in one of the following four modes: Master Transmitter, Master Receiver, Slave Transmitter, or Slave  
Receiver. The SMBus interface enters Master Mode any time a START is generated, and remains in Master Mode  
until it loses an arbitration or generates a STOP. An SMBus interrupt is generated at the end of all SMBus byte  
frames. The position of the ACK interrupt when operating as a receiver depends on whether hardware ACK  
generation is enabled. As a receiver, the interrupt for an ACK occurs before the ACK with hardware ACK  
generation disabled, and after the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled. As a transmitter, interrupts  
occur after the ACK, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is enabled or not.  
24.5.1. Write Sequence (Master)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The master in this transfer will be a  
transmitter during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. The SMBus interface generates the  
START condition and transmits the first 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 0 (WRITE). The master then transmits one or more bytes of serial  
data. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge bit is generated by the slave. The transfer is ended when the  
STO bit is set and a STOP is generated. The interface will switch to Master Receiver Mode if SMB0DAT is not  
written following a Master Transmitter interrupt. Figure 24.5 shows a typical master write sequence. Two transmit  
data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that all of the “data byte transferred”  
interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is enabled.

24.5.2. Read Sequence (Master)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The master in this transfer will be a  
transmitter during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. The SMBus interface generates the  
START condition and transmits the first 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 (READ). Serial data is then received from the slave on SDA  
while the SMBus outputs the serial clock. The slave transmits one or more bytes of serial data.  
If hardware ACK generation is disabled, the ACKRQ is set to 1 and an interrupt is generated after each received  
byte. Software must write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.  
With hardware ACK generation enabled, the SMBus hardware will automatically generate the ACK/NACK, and  
then post the interrupt. It is important to note that the appropriate ACK or NACK value should be set up by  
the software prior to receiving the byte when hardware ACK generation is enabled.  
Writing a 1 to the ACK bit generates an ACK; writing a 0 generates a NACK. Software should write a 0 to the ACK  
bit for the last data transfer, to transmit a NACK. The interface exits Master Receiver Mode after the STO bit is set  
and a STOP is generated. The interface will switch to Master Transmitter Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an  
active Master Receiver. Figure 24.6 shows a typical master read sequence. Two received data bytes are shown,  
though any number of bytes may be received. Notice that the ‘data byte transferred’ interrupts occur at different  
places in the sequence, depending on whether hardware ACK generation is enabled. The interrupt occurs before  
the ACK with hardware ACK generation disabled, and after the ACK when hardware ACK generation is enabled.

24.5.3. Write Sequence (Slave)  
During a write sequence, an SMBus master writes data to a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be a  
receiver during the address byte, and a receiver during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled (INH = 0),  
the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode when a START followed by a slave address and direction bit (WRITE in  
this case) is received. If hardware ACK generation is disabled, upon entering Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is  
generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software must respond to the received slave address with an ACK, or  
ignore the received slave address with a NACK. If hardware ACK generation is enabled, the hardware will apply  
the ACK for a slave address which matches the criteria set up by SMB0ADR and SMB0ADM. The interrupt will  
occur after the ACK cycle.  
If the received slave address is ignored (by software or hardware), slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next  
START is detected. If the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are received.  
If hardware ACK generation is disabled, the ACKRQ is set to 1 and an interrupt is generated after each received  
byte. Software must write the ACK bit at that time to ACK or NACK the received byte.  
With hardware ACK generation enabled, the SMBus hardware will automatically generate the ACK/NACK, and  
then post the interrupt. It is important to note that the appropriate ACK or NACK value should be set up by  
the software prior to receiving the byte when hardware ACK generation is enabled.  
The interface exits Slave Receiver Mode after receiving a STOP. The interface will switch to Slave Transmitter  
Mode if SMB0DAT is written while an active Slave Receiver. Figure 24.7 shows a typical slave write sequence. Two  
received data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be received. Notice that the ‘data byte  
transferred’ interrupts occur at different places in the sequence, depending on whether hardware ACK generation

24.5.4. Read Sequence (Slave)  
During a read sequence, an SMBus master reads data from a slave device. The slave in this transfer will be a  
receiver during the address byte, and a transmitter during all data bytes. When slave events are enabled (INH = 0),  
the interface enters Slave Receiver Mode (to receive the slave address) when a START followed by a slave  
address and direction bit (READ in this case) is received. If hardware ACK generation is disabled, upon entering  
Slave Receiver Mode, an interrupt is generated and the ACKRQ bit is set. The software must respond to the  
received slave address with an ACK, or ignore the received slave address with a NACK. If hardware ACK  
generation is enabled, the hardware will apply the ACK for a slave address which matches the criteria set up by  
SMB0ADR and SMB0ADM. The interrupt will occur after the ACK cycle.  
If the received slave address is ignored (by software or hardware), slave interrupts will be inhibited until the next  
START is detected. If the received slave address is acknowledged, zero or more data bytes are transmitted. If the  
received slave address is acknowledged, data should be written to SMB0DAT to be transmitted. The interface  
enters slave transmitter mode, and transmits one or more bytes of data. After each byte is transmitted, the master  
sends an acknowledge bit; if the acknowledge bit is an ACK, SMB0DAT should be written with the next data byte. If  
the acknowledge bit is a NACK, SMB0DAT should not be written to before SI is cleared (an error condition may be  
generated if SMB0DAT is written following a received NACK while in slave transmitter mode). The interface exits  
slave transmitter mode after receiving a STOP. The interface will switch to slave receiver mode if SMB0DAT is not  
written following a Slave Transmitter interrupt. Figure 24.8 shows a typical slave read sequence. Two transmitted  
data bytes are shown, though any number of bytes may be transmitted. Notice that all of the “data byte transferred”  
interrupts occur after the ACK cycle in this mode, regardless of whether hardware ACK generation is enabled.

24.6. SMBus Status Decoding  
The current SMBus status can be easily decoded using the SMB0CN register. The appropriate actions to take in  
response to an SMBus event depend on whether hardware slave address recognition and ACK generation is  
enabled or disabled. Table 24.5 describes the typical actions when hardware slave address recognition and ACK  
generation is disabled. Table 24.6 describes the typical actions when hardware slave address recognition and ACK  
generation is enabled. In the tables, STATUS VECTOR refers to the four upper bits of SMB0CN: MASTER,  
TXMODE, STA, and STO. The shown response options are only the typical responses; application-specific  
procedures are allowed as long as they conform to the SMBus specification. Highlighted responses are allowed by  
hardware but do not conform to the SMBus specification.

SMBus0 Enable.  
This bit enables the SMBus0 interface when set to 1. When enabled, the interface con-  
stantly monitors the SDA and SCL pins.  
6
INH  
SMBus0 Slave Inhibit.  
When this bit is set to logic 1, the SMBus0 does not generate an interrupt when slave  
events occur. This effectively removes the SMBus0 slave from the bus. Master Mode  
interrupts are not affected.

BUSY  
SMBus0 Busy Indicator.  
This bit is set to logic 1 by hardware when a transfer is in progress. It is cleared to logic 0  
when a STOP or free-timeout is sensed.

This bit controls the SDA setup and hold times.  
0: SDA Extended Setup and Hold Times disabled.  
1: SDA Extended Setup and Hold Times enabled.  
3
SMBTOE SMBus0 SCL Timeout Detection Enable.  
This bit enables SCL low timeout detection. If set to logic 1, the SMBus0 forces Timer 3  
to reload while SCL is high and allows Timer 3 to count when SCL goes low. If Timer 3 is  
configured to Split Mode, only the High Byte of the timer is held in reload while SCL is  
high. Timer 3 should be programmed to generate interrupts at 25 ms, and the Timer 3  
interrupt service routine should reset SMBus0 communication.

SMBus0 Free Timeout Detection Enable.  
When this bit is set to logic 1, the bus will be considered free if SCL and SDA remain high  
for more than 10 SMBus clock source periods.

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 safely read from or write to this register whenever the SI serial interrupt flag is set to  
logic 1. The serial data in the register remains stable as long as the SI flag is set. 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.

25. Timers (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2 and Timer3)  
Each MCU in the C8051F85x/86x family includes four counter/timers: two are 16-bit counter/timers compatible with  
those found in the standard 8051, and two are 16-bit auto-reload timers for timing peripherals or for general  
purpose use. These timers 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 and  
Timer 3 are also identical and offer both 16-bit and split 8-bit timer functionality with auto-reload capabilities.  
Timer 2 and Timer 3 both offer a capture function, but are different in their system-level connections. Timer 2 is  
capable of performing a capture function on an external signal input routed through the crossbar, while the Timer 3  
capture is dedicated to the low-frequency oscillator output. Table 25.1 summarizes the modes available to each  
timer.

Timers 0 and 1 may be clocked by one of five sources, determined by the Timer Mode Select bits (T1MT0M) and  
the Clock Scale bits (SCA1SCA0). The Clock Scale bits define a pre-scaled clock from which Timer 0 and/or  
Timer 1 may be clocked.  
Timer 0/1 may then be configured to use this pre-scaled clock signal or the system clock. Timer 2 and Timer 3 may  
be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source divided by 8.  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 may also be operated as counters. When functioning as a counter, a counter/timer register is  
incremented on each high-to-low transition at the selected input pin (T0 or T1). Events with a frequency of up to  
one-fourth the system clock frequency can be counted. The input signal need not be periodic, but it must be held at  
a given level for at least two full system clock cycles to ensure the level is properly sampled.  
All four timers are capable of clocking other peripherals and triggering events in the system. The individual  
peripherals select which timer to use for their respective functions. Table 25.2 summarizes the peripheral  
connections for each timer. Note that the Timer 2 and Timer 3 high overflows apply to the full timer when operating  
in 16-bit mode or the high-byte timer when operating in 8-bit split mode.

25.1. Timer 0 and Timer 1  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 are each implemented as a16-bit register accessed as two separate bytes: a low byte (TL0 or  
TL1) and a high byte (TH0 or TH1). The Counter/Timer Control register (TCON) is used to enable Timer 0 and  
Timer 1 as well as indicate status. Timer 0 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET0 bit in the IE register.  
Timer 1 interrupts can be enabled by setting the ET1 bit in the IE register. Both counter/timers operate in one of  
four primary modes selected by setting the Mode Select bits T1M1T0M0 in the Counter/Timer Mode register  
(TMOD). Each timer can be configured independently for the operating modes described below.  
Preliminary Rev 0.6  
253  
C8051F85x/86x  
25.1.1. Mode 0: 13-bit Counter/Timer  
Timer 0 and Timer 1 operate as 13-bit counter/timers in Mode 0. The following describes the configuration and  
operation 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 (TL0.7TL0.5) are indeterminate and should be masked out or ignored when  
reading. As the 13-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0x1FFF (all ones) to 0x0000, the timer overflow  
flag TF0 in TCON is set and an interrupt will occur if Timer 0 interrupts are enabled.  
The CT0 bit in the TMOD register selects the counter/timer's clock source. When CT0 is set to logic 1, high-to-low  
transitions at the selected Timer 0 input pin (T0) increment the timer register. Clearing CT selects the clock defined  
by the T0M bit in register CKCON. When T0M is set, Timer 0 is clocked by the system clock. When T0M is cleared,  
Timer 0 is clocked by the source selected by the Clock Scale bits in CKCON.  
Setting the TR0 bit enables the timer when either GATE0 in the TMOD register is logic 0 or the input signal INT0 is  
active as defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF. Setting GATE0 to 1 allows the timer to be controlled by the  
external input signal INT0, facilitating pulse width measurements

Setting TR0 does not force the timer to reset. The timer registers should be loaded with the desired initial value  
before the timer is enabled.  
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. The input signal INT1 is  
used with Timer 1; the /INT1 polarity is defined by bit IN1PL in register IT01CF.

25.1.3. 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.  
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 in the TCON register is set and the counter in TL0 is reloaded from TH0. If Timer 0  
interrupts are enabled, an interrupt 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. Setting the TR0 bit  
enables the timer when either GATE0 in the TMOD register is logic 0 or when the input signal INT0 is active as  
defined by bit IN0PL in register IT01CF.

25.1.4. Mode 3: Two 8-bit Counter/Timers (Timer 0 Only)  
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, CT0, GATE0 and TF0. TL0 can  
use either the system clock or an external input signal as its timebase. The TH0 register is restricted to a timer  
function sourced by the system clock or prescaled 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. When Timer 0 is operating 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 generate baud rates for the SMBus and/or UART, and/or initiate ADC conversions. While  
Timer 0 is operating in Mode 3, Timer 1 run control is handled through its mode settings. To run Timer 1 while  
Timer 0 is in Mode 3, set the Timer 1 Mode as 0, 1, or 2. To disable Timer 1, configure it for Mode 3.

25.2. Timer 2 and Timer 3  
Timer 2 and Timer 3 are functionally equivalent, with the only differences being the top-level connections to other  
parts of the system, as detailed in Table 25.1 and Table 25.2.  
The timers are 16 bits wide, formed by two 8-bit SFRs: TMRnL (low byte) and TMRnH (high byte). Each timer may  
operate in 16-bit auto-reload mode or (split) 8-bit auto-reload mode. The TnSPLIT bit in TMRnCN defines the timer  
operation mode.  
The timers may be clocked by the system clock, the system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator source  
divided by 8. Note that the external oscillator source divided by 8 is synchronized with the system clock.  
25.2.1. 16-bit Timer with Auto-Reload  
When TnSPLIT is zero, the timer operates as a 16-bit timer with auto-reload. In this mode, the timer may be  
configured to clock from SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock source divided by 8. As  
the 16-bit timer register increments and overflows from 0xFFFF to 0x0000, the 16-bit value in the timer reload  
registers (TMRnRLH and TMRnRLL) is loaded into the main timer count register as shown in Figure 25.4, and the  
High Byte Overflow Flag (TFnH) is set. If the timer interrupts are enabled, an interrupt will be generated on each  
timer overflow. Additionally, if the timer interrupts are enabled and the TFnLEN bit is set, an interrupt will be  
generated each time the lower 8 bits (TMRnL) overflow from 0xFF to 0x00.

25.2.2. 8-bit Timers with Auto-Reload  
When TnSPLIT is set, the timer operates as two 8-bit timers (TMRnH and TMRnL). Both 8-bit timers operate in  
auto-reload mode as shown in Figure 25.5. TMRnRLL holds the reload value for TMRnL; TMRnRLH holds the  
reload value for TMRnH. The TRn bit in TMRnCN handles the run control for TMRnH. TMRnL is always running  
when configured for 8-bit auto-reload mode.  
Each 8-bit timer may be configured to clock from SYSCLK, SYSCLK divided by 12, or the external oscillator clock  
source divided by 8. The Clock Select bits (TnMH and TnML in CKCON) select either SYSCLK or the clock defined  
by the External Clock Select bit (TnXCLK in TMRnCN), as follows:  
TnMH  
TnXCLK TMRnH Clock Source

The TFnH bit is set when TMRnH overflows from 0xFF to 0x00; the TFnL bit is set when TMRnL overflows from  
0xFF to 0x00. When timer interrupts are enabled, an interrupt is generated each time TMRnH overflows. If tmier  
interrupts are enabled and TFnLEN is set, an interrupt is generated each time either TMRnL or TMRnH overflows.  
When TFnLEN is enabled, software must check the TFnH and TFnL flags to determine the source of the timer  
interrupt. The TFnH and TFnL interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware and must be manually cleared by  
software.

25.2.3. Capture Mode  
Capture mode allows an external input (Timer 2) or the low-frequency oscillator clock (Timer 3) to be measured  
against the system clock or an external oscillator source. The timer can be clocked from the system clock, the  
system clock divided by 12, or the external oscillator divided by 8, depending on the TnML, and TnXCLK settings.  
Setting TFnCEN to 1 enables Capture Mode. In this mode, TnSPLIT should be set to 0, as the full 16-bit timer is  
used. Upon a falling edge of the input capture signal, the contents of the timer register (TMRnH:TMRnL) are loaded  
into the reload registers (TMRnRLH:TMRnRLL) and the TFnH flag is set. By recording the difference between two  
successive timer capture values, the period of the captured signal can be determined with respect to the selected  
timer clock.

26. Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART0)  
UART0 is an asynchronous, full duplex serial port offering modes 1 and 3 of the standard 8051 UART. Enhanced  
baud rate support allows a wide range of clock sources to generate standard baud rates (details in Section  
“26.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation” on page 278). Received data buffering allows UART0 to start reception of  
a second incoming data byte before software has finished reading the previous data byte.  
UART0 has two associated SFRs: Serial Control Register 0 (SCON0) and Serial Data Buffer 0 (SBUF0). The  
single SBUF0 location provides access to both transmit and receive registers. Writes to SBUF0 always access  
the transmit register. Reads of SBUF0 always access the buffered receive register; it is not possible to  
read data from the transmit register.  
With UART0 interrupts enabled, an interrupt is generated each time a transmit is completed (TI is set in SCON0),  
or a data byte has been received (RI is set in SCON0). The UART0 interrupt flags are not cleared by hardware  
when the CPU vectors to the interrupt service routine. They must be cleared manually by software, allowing soft-  
ware to determine the cause of the UART0 interrupt (transmit complete or receive complete).

26.1. Enhanced Baud Rate Generation  
The UART0 baud rate is generated by Timer 1 in 8-bit auto-reload mode. The TX clock is generated by TL1; the  
RX clock is generated by a copy of TL1 (shown as RX Timer in Figure 26.2), which is not user-accessible. Both TX  
and RX Timer overflows are divided by two to generate the TX and RX baud rates. The RX Timer runs when  
Timer 1 is enabled, and uses the same reload value (TH1). However, an RX Timer reload is forced when a START  
condition is detected on the RX pin. This allows a receive to begin any time a START is detected, independent of  
the TX Timer state.

Timer 1 should be configured for Mode 2, 8-bit auto-reload. The Timer 1 reload value should be set so that  
overflows will occur at two times the desired UART baud rate frequency. Note that Timer 1 may be clocked by one  
of six sources: SYSCLK, SYSCLK/4, SYSCLK/12, SYSCLK/48, the external oscillator clock/8, or an external input  
T1. For any given Timer 1 overflow rate, the UART0 baud rate is determined by Equation 26.1.

26.2. Operational Modes  
UART0 provides standard asynchronous, full duplex communication. The UART mode (8-bit or 9-bit) is selected by  
the S0MODE bit in register SCON.  
26.2.1. 8-Bit UART  
8-Bit UART mode uses a total of 10 bits per data byte: one start bit, eight data bits (LSB first), and one stop bit.  
Data are transmitted LSB first from the TX pin and received at the RX pin. On receive, the eight data bits are stored  
in SBUF0 and the stop bit goes into RB8 in the SCON register.  
Data transmission begins when software writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI Transmit Interrupt Flag is  
set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin any time after the  
REN Receive Enable bit 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: RI must be logic 0, and if MCE is logic 1, the stop bit must be  
logic 1. In the event of a receive data overrun, the first received 8 bits are latched into the SBUF0 receive register  
and the following overrun data bits are lost.  
If these conditions are met, the eight bits of data is stored in SBUF0, the stop bit is stored in RB8 and the RI flag is  
set. If these conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB8 will not be loaded and the RI flag will not be set. An interrupt  
will occur if enabled when either TI or RI is set.

26.2.2. 9-Bit UART  
9-bit UART mode uses 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. The state of the ninth transmit data bit is determined by the value in TB8, which is assigned  
by user software. It can be assigned the value of the parity flag (bit P in register PSW) for error detection, or used  
in multiprocessor communications. On receive, the ninth data bit goes into RB8 and the stop bit is ignored.  
Data transmission begins when an instruction writes a data byte to the SBUF0 register. The TI Transmit Interrupt  
Flag is set at the end of the transmission (the beginning of the stop-bit time). Data reception can begin any time  
after the REN Receive Enable bit is set to 1. After the stop bit is received, the data byte will be loaded into the  
SBUF0 receive register if the following conditions are met: (1) RI must be logic 0, and (2) if MCE is logic 1, the 9th  
bit must be logic 1 (when MCE is logic 0, the state of the ninth data bit is unimportant). If these conditions are met,  
the eight bits of data are stored in SBUF0, the ninth bit is stored in RB8, and the RI flag is set to 1. If the above  
conditions are not met, SBUF0 and RB8 will not be loaded and the RI flag will not be set to 1. A UART0 interrupt  
will occur if enabled when either TI or RI is set to 1.

26.3. Multiprocessor Communications  
9-Bit UART mode supports multiprocessor communication between a master processor and one or more slave  
processors by special use of the ninth data bit. When a master processor wants to transmit to one or more slaves,  
it first sends an address byte to select the target(s). 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.  
Setting the MCE bit of a slave processor configures its UART such that when a stop bit is received, the UART will  
generate an interrupt only if the ninth bit is logic 1 (RB8 = 1) signifying an address byte has been received. In the  
UART interrupt handler, software will compare the received address with the slave's own assigned 8-bit address. If  
the addresses match, the slave will clear its MCE bit to enable interrupts on the reception of the following data  
byte(s). Slaves that weren't addressed leave their MCE bits set and do not generate interrupts on the reception of  
the following data bytes, thereby ignoring the data. Once the entire message is received, the addressed slave  
resets its MCE bit to ignore all transmissions until it receives the next address byte.  
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 master processor 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).

The C8051F85x/86x family includes a programmable Watchdog Timer (WDT) running off the low-frequency  
oscillator. 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 or hardware malfunction preventing  
the software from restarting the WDT, the WDT will overflow and cause a reset.  
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 an internal timer running from the low-frequency oscillator. 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. When the WDT is active, the low-frequency oscillator is forced on. All watchdog features are controlled via  
the Watchdog Timer Control Register (WDTCN).

27.1. Enabling / Resetting the WDT  
The watchdog timer is both enabled and reset by writing 0xA5 to the WDTCN register. The user's application  
software 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.  
27.2. Disabling the 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.  
27.3. Disabling the 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.  
27.4. Setting the WDT Interval  
WDTCN.[2:0] controls the watchdog timeout interval. The interval is given by the following equation, where Tlfosc is  
the low-frequency oscillator clock period:  
TLFOSC 4WDTCN[2:0] + 3  
This provides a nominal interval range of 0.8 ms to 13.1 s. 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.

WDTCN  
WDT Control.  
The WDT control field has different behavior for reads and writes.  
Read:  
When reading the WDTCN register, the lower three bits (WDTCN[2:0]) indicate the cur-  
rent timeout interval. Bit WDTCN.4 indicates whether the WDT is active (logic 1) or inac-  
tive (logic 0).  
Write:  
Writing the WDTCN register can set the timeout interval, enable the WDT, disable the  
WDT, reset the WDT, or lock the WDT to prevent disabling.  
Writing to WDTCN with the MSB (WDTCN.7) cleared to 0 will set the timeout interval to  
the value in bits WDTCN[2:0].  
Writing 0xA5 both enables and reloads the WDT.  
Writing 0xDE followed within 4 system clocks by 0xAD disables the WDT.  
Writing 0xFF locks out the disable feature until the next device reset.

28. C2 Interface  
C8051F85x/86x devices include an on-chip Silicon Labs 2-Wire (C2) debug interface to allow flash programming  
and in-system debugging with the production part installed in the end application. The C2 interface uses a clock  
signal (C2CK) and a bi-directional C2 data signal (C2D) to transfer information between the device and a host  
system. Details on the C2 protocol can be found in the C2 Interface Specification.  
28.1. C2 Pin Sharing  
The C2 protocol allows the C2 pins to be shared with user functions so that in-system debugging and flash  
programming may be performed. C2CK is shared with the RST pin, while the C2D signal is shared with a port I/O  
pin. This is possible because C2 communication is typically performed when the device is in the halt state, where  
all on-chip peripherals and user software are stalled. In this halted state, the C2 interface can safely ‘borrow’ the  
C2CK and C2D pins. In most applications, external resistors are required to isolate C2 interface traffic from the  
user application. A typical isolation configuration is shown in Figure 28.1.

Figure 28.1. Typical C2 Pin Sharing  
The configuration in Figure 28.1 assumes the following:  
1. The user input (b) cannot change state while the target device is halted.  
2. The RST pin on the target device is used as an input only.  
Additional resistors may be necessary depending on the specific application.
