1 DESCRIPTION
The ST72F321B Flash and ST72321B ROM de-
vices are members of the ST7 microcontroller fam-
ily designed for mid-range applications.
All devices are based on a common industry-
standard 8-bit core, featuring an enhanced instruc-
tion set and are available with Flash or ROM pro-
gram memory. The ST7 family architecture offers
both power and flexibility to software developers,
enabling the design of highly efficient and compact
application code.
The on-chip peripherals include an A/D converter,
a PWM Autoreload timer, 2 general purpose tim-
ers, I2C bus, SPI interface and an SCI interface.
For power economy, microcontroller can switch
dynamically into WAIT, SLOW, ACTIVE-HALT or
HALT mode when the application is in idle or
stand-by state.
Typical applications are consumer, home, office
and industrial products.

Notes:
1. In the interrupt input column, “eiX” defines the associated external interrupt vector. If the weak pull-up
column (wpu) is merged with the interrupt column (int), then the I/O configuration is pull-up interrupt input,
else the configuration is floating interrupt input.
2. In the open drain output column, “T” defines a true open drain I/O (P-Buffer and protection diode to VDD
are not implemented). See See “I/O PORTS” on page 46. and Section 12.8 I/O PORT PIN CHARACTER-
ISTICS for more details.
3. OSC1 and OSC2 pins connect a crystal/ceramic resonator, or an external source to the on-chip oscil-
lator; see Section 1 DESCRIPTION and Section 12.5 CLOCK AND TIMING CHARACTERISTICS for
more details.
4. On the chip, each I/O port may have up to 8 pads:
Pads that are not bonded to external pins are forced by hardware in input pull-up configuration after re-
set. The configuration of these pads must be kept at reset state to avoid added current consumption.
5. Pull-up always activated on PE2 see limitation Section 15.1.8.
6. It is mandatory to connect all available VDD and VREF pins to the supply voltage and all VSS and VSSA
pins to ground.

3 REGISTER & MEMORY MAP
As shown in Figure 5, the MCU is capable of ad-
dressing 64K bytes of memories and I/O registers.
The available memory locations consist of 128
bytes of register locations, up to 2Kbytes of RAM
and up to 60Kbytes of user program memory. The
RAM space includes up to 256 bytes for the stack
from 0100h to 01FFh.
The highest address bytes contain the user reset
and interrupt vectors.
IMPORTANT: Memory locations marked as “Re-
served” must never be accessed. Accessing a re-
seved area can have unpredictable effects on the
device.

4 FLASH PROGRAM MEMORY
4.1 Introduction
The ST7 dual voltage High Density Flash
(HDFlash) is a non-volatile memory that can be
electrically erased as a single block or by individu-
al sectors and programmed on a Byte-by-Byte ba-
sis using an external VPP supply.
The HDFlash devices can be programmed and
erased off-board (plugged in a programming tool)
or on-board using ICP (In-Circuit Programming) or
IAP (In-Application Programming).
The array matrix organisation allows each sector
to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting
other sectors.
4.2 Main Features
Three Flash programming modes:
Insertion in a programming tool. In this mode,
all sectors including option bytes can be pro-
grammed or erased.
ICP (In-Circuit Programming). In this mode, all
sectors including option bytes can be pro-
grammed or erased without removing the de-
vice from the application board.
IAP (In-Application Programming) In this
mode, all sectors except Sector 0, can be pro-
grammed or erased without removing the de-
vice from the application board and while the
application is running.
ICT (In-Circuit Testing) for downloading and
executing user application test patterns in RAM
Read-out protection
Register Access Security System (RASS) to
prevent accidental programming or erasing
4.3 Structure
The Flash memory is organised in sectors and can
be used for both code and data storage.
Depending on the overall Flash memory size in the
microcontroller device, there are up to three user
sectors (see Table 4). Each of these sectors can
be erased independently to avoid unnecessary
erasing of the whole Flash memory when only a
partial erasing is required.
The first two sectors have a fixed size of 4 Kbytes
(see Figure 6). They are mapped in the upper part
of the ST7 addressing space so the reset and in-
terrupt vectors are located in Sector 0 (F000h-
FFFFh).
Table 4. Sectors available in Flash devices
4.3.1 Read-out Protection
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a
protection against Program Memory content ex-
traction and against write access to Flash memo-
ry. Even if no protection can be considered as to-
tally unbreakable, the feature provides a very high
level of protection for a general purpose microcon-
troller.
In flash devices, this protection is removed by re-
programming the option. In this case, the entire
program memory is first automatically erased and
the device can be reprogrammed.
Read-out protection selection depends on the de-
vice type:
In Flash devices it is enabled and removed
through the FMP_R bit in the option byte.
In ROM devices it is enabled by mask option
specified in the Option List.

4.4 ICC Interface
ICC needs a minimum of 4 and up to 6 pins to be
connected to the programming tool (see Figure 7).
These pins are:
RESET: device reset
–V
SS: device power supply ground
ICCCLK: ICC output serial clock pin
ICCDATA: ICC input/output serial data pin
ICCSEL/VPP: programming voltage
OSC1(or OSCIN): main clock input for exter-
nal source (optional)
–V
DD: application board power supply (option-
al, see Figure 7, Note 3)
Figure 7. Typical ICC Interface
Notes:
1. If the ICCCLK or ICCDATA pins are only used
as outputs in the application, no signal isolation is
necessary. As soon as the Programming Tool is
plugged to the board, even if an ICC session is not
in progress, the ICCCLK and ICCDATA pins are
not available for the application. If they are used as
inputs by the application, isolation such as a serial
resistor has to implemented in case another de-
vice forces the signal. Refer to the Programming
Tool documentation for recommended resistor val-
ues.
2. During the ICC session, the programming tool
must control the RESET pin. This can lead to con-
flicts between the programming tool and the appli-
cation reset circuit if it drives more than 5mA at
high level (push pull output or pull-up resistor<1K).
A schottky diode can be used to isolate the appli-
cation RESET circuit in this case. When using a
classical RC network with R>1K or a reset man-
agement IC with open drain output and pull-up re-
sistor>1K, no additional components are needed.
In all cases the user must ensure that no external
reset is generated by the application during the
ICC session.
3. The use of Pin 7 of the ICC connector depends
on the Programming Tool architecture. This pin
must be connected when using most ST Program-
ming Tools (it is used to monitor the application
power supply). Please refer to the Programming
Tool manual.
4. Pin 9 has to be connected to the OSC1 or OS-
CIN pin of the ST7 when the clock is not available
in the application or if the selected clock option is
not programmed in the option byte. ST7 devices
with multi-oscillator capability need to have OSC2
grounded in this case.

4.5 ICP (In-Circuit Programming)
To perform ICP the microcontroller must be
switched to ICC (In-Circuit Communication) mode
by an external controller or programming tool.
Depending on the ICP code downloaded in RAM,
Flash memory programming can be fully custom-
ized (number of bytes to program, program loca-
tions, or selection serial communication interface
for downloading).
When using an STMicroelectronics or third-party
programming tool that supports ICP and the spe-
cific microcontroller device, the user needs only to
implement the ICP hardware interface on the ap-
plication board (see Figure 7). For more details on
the pin locations, refer to the device pinout de-
scription.
4.6 IAP (In-Application Programming)
This mode uses a BootLoader program previously
stored in Sector 0 by the user (in ICP mode or by
plugging the device in a programming tool).
This mode is fully controlled by user software. This
allows it to be adapted to the user application, (us-
er-defined strategy for entering programming
mode, choice of communications protocol used to
fetch the data to be stored, etc.). For example, it is
possible to download code from the SPI, SCI, USB
or CAN interface and program it in the Flash. IAP
mode can be used to program any of the Flash
sectors except Sector 0, which is write/erase pro-
tected to allow recovery in case errors occur dur-
ing the programming operation.

col, refer to the ST7 Flash Programming Refer-
ence Manual and to the ST7 ICC Protocol Refer-
ence Manual.

six internal registers allowing efficient 8-bit data
manipulation.
5.2 MAIN FEATURES
Enable executing 63 basic instructions
Fast 8-bit by 8-bit multiply
17 main addressing modes (with indirect
addressing mode)
Two 8-bit index registers
16-bit stack pointer
Low power HALT and WAIT modes
Priority maskable hardware interrupts
Non-maskable software/hardware interrupts
5.3 CPU REGISTERS
The six CPU registers shown in Figure 9 are not
present in the memory mapping and are accessed
by specific instructions.
Accumulator (A)
The Accumulator is an 8-bit general purpose reg-
ister used to hold operands and the results of the
arithmetic and logic calculations and to manipulate
data.
Index Registers (X and Y)
These 8-bit registers are used to create effective
addresses or as temporary storage areas for data
manipulation. (The Cross-Assembler generates a
precede instruction (PRE) to indicate that the fol-
lowing instruction refers to the Y register.)
The Y register is not affected by the interrupt auto-
matic procedures.
Program Counter (PC)
The program counter is a 16-bit register containing
the address of the next instruction to be executed
by the CPU. It is made of two 8-bit registers PCL
(Program Counter Low which is the LSB) and PCH
(Program Counter High which is the MSB).

Condition Code Register (CC)

Reset Value: 111x1xxx
The 8-bit Condition Code register contains the in-
terrupt masks and four flags representative of the
result of the instruction just executed. This register
can also be handled by the PUSH and POP in-
structions.
These bits can be individually tested and/or con-
trolled by specific instructions.
Arithmetic Management Bits
Bit 4 = H Half carry.
This bit is set by hardware when a carry occurs be-
tween bits 3 and 4 of the ALU during an ADD or
ADC instructions. It is reset by hardware during
the same instructions.
0: No half carry has occurred.
1: A half carry has occurred.
This bit is tested using the JRH or JRNH instruc-
tion. The H bit is useful in BCD arithmetic subrou-
tines.
Bit 2 = N Negative.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. It is repre-
sentative of the result sign of the last arithmetic,
logical or data manipulation. It’s a copy of the re-
sult 7th bit.
0: The result of the last operation is positive or null.
1: The result of the last operation is negative
(that is, the most significant bit is a logic 1).
This bit is accessed by the JRMI and JRPL instruc-
tions.
Bit 1 = Z Zero.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. This bit in-
dicates that the result of the last arithmetic, logical
or data manipulation is zero.
0: The result of the last operation is different from
zero.
1: The result of the last operation is zero.
This bit is accessed by the JREQ and JRNE test
instructions.
Bit 0 = C Carry/borrow.
This bit is set and cleared by hardware and soft-
ware. It indicates an overflow or an underflow has
occurred during the last arithmetic operation.
0: No overflow or underflow has occurred.
1: An overflow or underflow has occurred.
This bit is driven by the SCF and RCF instructions
and tested by the JRC and JRNC instructions. It is
also affected by the “bit test and branch”, shift and
rotate instructions.
Interrupt Management Bits
Bit 5,3 = I1, I0 Interrupt
The combination of the I1 and I0 bits gives the cur-
rent interrupt software priority.
These two bits are set/cleared by hardware when
entering in interrupt. The loaded value is given by
the corresponding bits in the interrupt software pri-
ority registers (IxSPR). They can be also set/
cleared by software with the RIM, SIM, IRET,
HALT, WFI and PUSH/POP instructions.
See the interrupt management chapter for more
details.

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (Cont’d)
Stack Pointer (SP)
Read/Write
Reset Value: 01 FFh
The Stack Pointer is a 16-bit register which is al-
ways pointing to the next free location in the stack.
It is then decremented after data has been pushed
onto the stack and incremented before data is
popped from the stack (see Figure 10).
Since the stack is 256 bytes deep, the 8 most sig-
nificant bits are forced by hardware. Following an
MCU Reset, or after a Reset Stack Pointer instruc-
tion (RSP), the Stack Pointer contains its reset val-
ue (the SP7 to SP0 bits are set) which is the stack
higher address.
The least significant byte of the Stack Pointer
(called S) can be directly accessed by a LD in-
struction.
Note: When the lower limit is exceeded, the Stack
Pointer wraps around to the stack upper limit, with-
out indicating the stack overflow. The previously
stored information is then overwritten and there-
fore lost. The stack also wraps in case of an under-
flow.
The stack is used to save the return address dur-
ing a subroutine call and the CPU context during
an interrupt. The user may also directly manipulate
the stack by means of the PUSH and POP instruc-
tions. In the case of an interrupt, the PCL is stored
at the first location pointed to by the SP. Then the
other registers are stored in the next locations as
shown in Figure 10.
When an interrupt is received, the SP is decre-
mented and the context is pushed on the stack.
On return from interrupt, the SP is incremented
and the context is popped from the stack.
A subroutine call occupies two locations and an in-
terrupt five locations in the stack area.

6 SUPPLY, RESET AND CLOCK MANAGEMENT
The device includes a range of utility features for
securing the application in critical situations (for
example in case of a power brown-out), and re-
ducing the number of external components. An
overview is shown in Figure 12.
For more details, refer to dedicated parametric
section.

6.1 PHASE LOCKED LOOP
If the clock frequency input to the PLL is in the
range 2 to 4 MHz, the PLL can be used to multiply
the frequency by two to obtain an fOSC2 of 4 to 8
MHz. The PLL is enabled by option byte. If the PLL
is disabled, then fOSC2 = fOSC/2.
Caution: The PLL is not recommended for appli-
cations where timing accuracy is required. See
“PLL Characteristics” on page 150.

6.2 MULTI-OSCILLATOR (MO)
The main clock of the ST7 can be generated by
three different source types coming from the multi-
oscillator block:
an external source
4 crystal or ceramic resonator oscillators
an internal high frequency RC oscillator
Each oscillator is optimized for a given frequency
range in terms of consumption and is selectable
through the option byte. The associated hardware
configurations are shown in Table 5. Refer to the
electrical characteristics section for more details.
Caution: The OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins must not
be left unconnected. For the purposes of Failure
Mode and Effect Analysis, it should be noted that if
the OSC1 and/or OSC2 pins are left unconnected,
the ST7 main oscillator may start and, in this con-
figuration, could generate an fOSC clock frequency
in excess of the allowed maximum (>16MHz.),
putting the ST7 in an unsafe/undefined state. The
product behaviour must therefore be considered
undefined when the OSC pins are left unconnect-
ed.
External Clock Source
In this external clock mode, a clock signal (square,
sinus or triangle) with ~50% duty cycle has to drive
the OSC1 pin while the OSC2 pin is tied to ground.
Crystal/Ceramic Oscillators
This family of oscillators has the advantage of pro-
ducing a very accurate rate on the main clock of
the ST7. The selection within a list of 4 oscillators
with different frequency ranges has to be done by
option byte in order to reduce consumption (refer
to section 14.1 on page 174 for more details on the
frequency ranges). In this mode of the multi-oscil-
lator, the resonator and the load capacitors have
to be placed as close as possible to the oscillator
pins in order to minimize output distortion and
start-up stabilization time. The loading capaci-
tance values must be adjusted according to the
selected oscillator.
These oscillators are not stopped during the
RESET phase to avoid losing time in the oscillator
start-up phase.
Internal RC Oscillator
This oscillator allows a low cost solution for the
main clock of the ST7 using only an internal resis-
tor and capacitor. Internal RC oscillator mode has
the drawback of a lower frequency accuracy and
should not be used in applications that require ac-
curate timing.
In this mode, the two oscillator pins have to be tied
to ground.

6.3 RESET SEQUENCE MANAGER (RSM)
6.3.1 Introduction
The reset sequence manager includes three RE-
SET sources as shown in Figure 14:
External RESET source pulse
Internal LVD RESET (Low Voltage Detection)
Internal WATCHDOG RESET
These sources act on the RESET pin and it is al-
ways kept low during the delay phase.
The RESET service routine vector is fixed at ad-
dresses FFFEh-FFFFh in the ST7 memory map.
The basic RESET sequence consists of 3 phases
as shown in Figure 13:
Active Phase depending on the RESET source
256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay (selected by
option byte)
RESET vector fetch
The 256 or 4096 CPU clock cycle delay allows the
oscillator to stabilise and ensures that recovery
has taken place from the Reset state. The shorter
or longer clock cycle delay should be selected by
option byte to correspond to the stabilization time
of the external oscillator used in the application
(see section 14.1 on page 174).
The RESET vector fetch phase duration is 2 clock
cycles.
Figure 13. RESET Sequence Phases
Caution: When the ST7 is unprogrammed or fully
erased, the Flash is blank and the RESET vector
is not programmed.
For this reason, it is recommended to keep the
RESET pin in low state until programming mode is
entered, in order to avoid unwanted behavior.
6.3.2 Asynchronous External RESET pin
The RESET pin is both an input and an open-drain
output with integrated RON weak pull-up resistor.
This pull-up has no fixed value but varies in ac-
cordance with the input voltage. It can be pulled
low by external circuitry to reset the device. See
“CONTROL PIN CHARACTERISTICS” on
page 158 for more details.
A RESET signal originating from an external
source must have a duration of at least th(RSTL)in in
order to be recognized (see Figure 15). This de-
tection is asynchronous and therefore the MCU
can enter reset state even in HALT mode.

RESET SEQUENCE MANAGER (Cont’d)
The RESET pin is an asynchronous signal which
plays a major role in EMS performance. In a noisy
environment, it is recommended to follow the
guidelines mentioned in the electrical characteris-
tics section.
If the external RESET pulse is shorter than
tw(RSTL)out (see short ext. Reset in Figure 15), the
signal on the RESET pin may be stretched. Other-
wise the delay will not be applied (see long ext.
Reset in Figure 15). Starting from the external RE-
SET pulse recognition, the device RESET pin acts
as an output that is pulled low during at least
tw(RSTL)out.
6.3.3 External Power-On RESET
If the LVD is disabled by option byte, to start up the
microcontroller correctly, the user must ensure by
means of an external reset circuit that the reset
signal is held low until VDD is over the minimum
level specified for the selected fOSC frequency.
(see “OPERATING CONDITIONS” on page 140)
A proper reset signal for a slow rising VDD supply
can generally be provided by an external RC net-
work connected to the RESET pin.
6.3.4 Internal Low Voltage Detector (LVD)
RESET
Two different RESET sequences caused by the in-
ternal LVD circuitry can be distinguished:
Power-On RESET
Voltage Drop RESET
The device RESET pin acts as an output that is
pulled low when VDD<VIT+ (rising edge) or
VDD<VIT- (falling edge) as shown in Figure 15.
The LVD filters spikes on VDD larger than tg(VDD) to
avoid parasitic resets.
6.3.5 Internal Watchdog RESET
The RESET sequence generated by a internal
Watchdog counter overflow is shown in Figure 15.
Starting from the Watchdog counter underflow, the
device RESET pin acts as an output that is pulled
low during at least tw(RSTL)out.

6.4 SYSTEM INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT (SI)
The System Integrity Management block contains
the Low Voltage Detector (LVD), Auxiliary Voltage
Detector (AVD) functions. It is managed by the
SICSR register.
6.4.1 Low Voltage Detector (LVD)
The Low Voltage Detector function (LVD) gener-
ates a static reset when the VDD supply voltage is
below a VIT- reference value. This means that it
secures the power-up as well as the power-down
keeping the ST7 in reset.
The VIT- reference value for a voltage drop is lower
than the VIT+ reference value for power-on in order
to avoid a parasitic reset when the MCU starts run-
ning and sinks current on the supply (hysteresis).
The LVD Reset circuitry generates a reset when
VDD is below:
–V
IT+ when VDD is rising
–V
IT- when VDD is falling
The LVD function is illustrated in Figure 16.
The voltage threshold can be configured by option
byte to be low, medium or high.
Provided the minimum VDD value (guaranteed for
the oscillator frequency) is above VIT-, the MCU
can only be in two modes:
under full software control
in static safe reset
In these conditions, secure operation is always en-
sured for the application without the need for ex-
ternal reset hardware.
During a Low Voltage Detector Reset, the RESET
pin is held low, thus permitting the MCU to reset
other devices.
Notes:
The LVD allows the device to be used without any
external RESET circuitry.
If the medium or low thresholds are selected, the
detection may occur outside the specified operat-
ing voltage range. Below 3.8V, device operation is
not guaranteed.
The LVD is an optional function which can be se-
lected by option byte.
It is recommended to make sure that the VDD sup-
ply voltage rises monotonously when the device is
exiting from Reset, to ensure the application func-
tions properly.

SYSTEM INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT (Cont’d)
6.4.2 Auxiliary Voltage Detector (AVD)
The Voltage Detector function (AVD) is based on
an analog comparison between a VIT-(AVD) and
VIT+(AVD) reference value and the VDD main sup-
ply or the external EVD pin voltage level (VEVD).
The VIT- reference value for falling voltage is lower
than the VIT+ reference value for rising voltage in
order to avoid parasitic detection (hysteresis).
The output of the AVD comparator is directly read-
able by the application software through a real
time status bit (AVDF) in the SICSR register. This
bit is read only.
Caution: The AVD function is active only if the
LVD is enabled through the option byte.
6.4.2.1 Monitoring the VDD Main Supply
This mode is selected by clearing the AVDS bit in
the SICSR register.
The AVD voltage threshold value is relative to the
selected LVD threshold configured by option byte
(see section 14.1 on page 174).
If the AVD interrupt is enabled, an interrupt is gen-
erated when the voltage crosses the VIT+(AVD) or
VIT-(AVD) threshold (AVDF bit toggles).
In the case of a drop in voltage, the AVD interrupt
acts as an early warning, allowing software to shut
down safely before the LVD resets the microcon-
troller. See Figure 17.
The interrupt on the rising edge is used to inform
the application that the VDD warning state is over.
If the voltage rise time trv is less than 256 or 4096
CPU cycles (depending on the reset delay select-
ed by option byte), no AVD interrupt will be gener-
ated when VIT+(AVD) is reached.
If trv is greater than 256 or 4096 cycles then:
If the AVD interrupt is enabled before the
VIT+(AVD) threshold is reached, then 2 AVD inter-
rupts will be received: the first when the AVDIE
bit is set, and the second when the threshold is
reached.
If the AVD interrupt is enabled after the VIT+(AVD)
threshold is reached then only one AVD interrupt
will occur.

6.4.2.2 Monitoring a Voltage on the EVD pin
This mode is selected by setting the AVDS bit in
the SICSR register.
The AVD circuitry can generate an interrupt when
the AVDIE bit of the SICSR register is set. This in-
terrupt is generated on the rising and falling edges
of the comparator output. This means it is generat-
ed when either one of these two events occur:
–V
EVD rises up to VIT+(EVD)
–V
EVD falls down to VIT-(EVD)
The EVD function is illustrated in Figure 18.
For more details, refer to the Electrical Character-
istics section.

WDGRF flag description for more details. When
the LVD is disabled by OPTION BYTE, the LVDRF
bit value is undefined.
Bits 31 = Reserved, must be kept cleared.
Bit 0 = WDGRF Watchdog reset flag
This bit indicates that the last Reset was generat-
ed by the Watchdog peripheral. It is set by hard-
ware (watchdog reset) and cleared by software
(writing zero) or an LVD Reset (to ensure a stable
cleared state of the WDGRF flag when CPU
starts).
Combined with the LVDRF flag information, the
flag description is given by the following table.
Application notes
The LVDRF flag is not cleared when another RE-
SET type occurs (external or watchdog), the
LVDRF flag remains set to keep trace of the origi-
nal failure.
In this case, a watchdog reset can be detected by
software while an external reset can not.
CAUTION: When the LVD is not activated with the
associated option byte, the WDGRF flag can not
be used in the application.

7 INTERRUPTS
7.1 INTRODUCTION
The ST7 enhanced interrupt management pro-
vides the following features:
Hardware interrupts
Software interrupt (TRAP)
Nested or concurrent interrupt management
with flexible interrupt priority and level
management:
Up to 4 software programmable nesting levels
Up to 16 interrupt vectors fixed by hardware
2 non maskable events: RESET, TRAP
1 maskable Top Level event: TLI
This interrupt management is based on:
Bit 5 and bit 3 of the CPU CC register (I1:0),
Interrupt software priority registers (ISPRx),
Fixed interrupt vector addresses located at the
high addresses of the memory map (FFE0h to
FFFFh) sorted by hardware priority order.
This enhanced interrupt controller guarantees full
upward compatibility with the standard (not nest-
ed) ST7 interrupt controller.
7.2 MASKING AND PROCESSING FLOW
The interrupt masking is managed by the I1 and I0
bits of the CC register and the ISPRx registers
which give the interrupt software priority level of
each interrupt vector (see Table 6). The process-
ing flow is shown in Figure 19
When an interrupt request has to be serviced:
Normal processing is suspended at the end of
the current instruction execution.
The PC, X, A and CC registers are saved onto
the stack.
I1 and I0 bits of CC register are set according to
the corresponding values in the ISPRx registers
of the serviced interrupt vector.
The PC is then loaded with the interrupt vector of
the interrupt to service and the first instruction of
the interrupt service routine is fetched (refer to
“Interrupt Mapping” table for vector addresses).
The interrupt service routine should end with the
IRET instruction which causes the contents of the
saved registers to be recovered from the stack.
Note: As a consequence of the IRET instruction,
the I1 and I0 bits will be restored from the stack
and the program in the previous level will resume.

INTERRUPTS (Cont’d)
Servicing Pending Interrupts
As several interrupts can be pending at the same
time, the interrupt to be taken into account is deter-
mined by the following two-step process:
the highest software priority interrupt is serviced,
if several interrupts have the same software pri-
ority then the interrupt with the highest hardware
priority is serviced first.
Figure 20 describes this decision process.
Figure 20. Priority Decision Process
When an interrupt request is not serviced immedi-
ately, it is latched and then processed when its
software priority combined with the hardware pri-
ority becomes the highest one.
Note 1: The hardware priority is exclusive while
the software one is not. This allows the previous
process to succeed with only one interrupt.
Note 2: TLI, RESET and TRAP can be considered
as having the highest software priority in the deci-
sion process.
Different Interrupt Vector Sources
Two interrupt source types are managed by the
ST7 interrupt controller: the non-maskable type
(RESET, TRAP) and the maskable type (external
or from internal peripherals).
Non-Maskable Sources
These sources are processed regardless of the
state of the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register (see
Figure 19). After stacking the PC, X, A and CC
registers (except for RESET), the corresponding
vector is loaded in the PC register and the I1 and
I0 bits of the CC are set to disable interrupts (level
3). These sources allow the processor to exit
HALT mode.
TRAP (Non Maskable Software Interrupt)
This software interrupt is serviced when the TRAP
instruction is executed. It will be serviced accord-
ing to the flowchart in Figure 19.
Caution: TRAP can be interrupted by a TLI.
RESET
The RESET source has the highest priority in the
ST7. This means that the first current routine has
the highest software priority (level 3) and the high-
est hardware priority.
See the RESET chapter for more details.
Maskable Sources
Maskable interrupt vector sources can be serviced
if the corresponding interrupt is enabled and if its
own interrupt software priority (in ISPRx registers)
is higher than the one currently being serviced (I1
and I0 in CC register). If any of these two condi-
tions is false, the interrupt is latched and thus re-
mains pending.
TLI (Top Level Hardware Interrupt)
This hardware interrupt occurs when a specific
edge is detected on the dedicated TLI pin. It will be
serviced according to the flowchart in Figure 19 as
a trap.
Caution: A TRAP instruction must not be used in a
TLI service routine.
External Interrupts
External interrupts allow the processor to exit from
HALT low power mode. External interrupt sensitiv-
ity is software selectable through the External In-
terrupt Control register (EICR).
External interrupt triggered on edge will be latched
and the interrupt request automatically cleared
upon entering the interrupt service routine.
If several input pins of a group connected to the
same interrupt line are selected simultaneously,
these will be logically ORed.
Peripheral Interrupts
Usually the peripheral interrupts cause the MCU to
exit from HALT mode except those mentioned in
the “Interrupt Mapping” table. A peripheral inter-
rupt occurs when a specific flag is set in the pe-
ripheral status registers and if the corresponding
enable bit is set in the peripheral control register.
The general sequence for clearing an interrupt is
based on an access to the status register followed
by a read or write to an associated register.
Note: The clearing sequence resets the internal
latch. A pending interrupt (i.e. waiting for being
serviced) will therefore be lost if the clear se-
quence is executed.

7.3 INTERRUPTS AND LOW POWER MODES
All interrupts allow the processor to exit the WAIT
low power mode. On the contrary, only external
and other specified interrupts allow the processor
to exit from the HALT modes (see column “Exit
from HALT” in “Interrupt Mapping” table). When
several pending interrupts are present while exit-
ing HALT mode, the first one serviced can only be
an interrupt with exit from HALT mode capability
and it is selected through the same decision proc-
ess shown in Figure 20.
Note: If an interrupt, that is not able to Exit from
HALT mode, is pending with the highest priority
when exiting HALT mode, this interrupt is serviced
after the first one serviced.
7.4 CONCURRENT & NESTED MANAGEMENT
The following Figure 21 and Figure 22 show two
different interrupt management modes. The first is
called concurrent mode and does not allow an in-
terrupt to be interrupted, unlike the nested mode in
Figure 22. The interrupt hardware priority is given
in this order from the lowest to the highest: MAIN,
IT4, IT3, IT2, IT1, IT0, TLI. The software priority is
given for each interrupt.
Warning: A stack overflow may occur without no-
tifying the software of the failure.

7.5 INTERRUPT REGISTER DESCRIPTION
CPU CC REGISTER INTERRUPT BITS
Read/Write
Reset Value: 111x 1010 (xAh)
Bit 5, 3 = I1, I0 Software Interrupt Priority
These two bits indicate the current interrupt soft-
ware priority.
These two bits are set/cleared by hardware when
entering in interrupt. The loaded value is given by
the corresponding bits in the interrupt software pri-
ority registers (ISPRx).
They can be also set/cleared by software with the
RIM, SIM, HALT, WFI, IRET and PUSH/POP in-
structions (see “Interrupt Dedicated Instruction
Set” table).
*Note: TLI, TRAP and RESET events can interrupt
a level 3 program.
INTERRUPT SOFTWARE PRIORITY REGIS-
TERS (ISPRX)
Read/Write (bit 7:4 of ISPR3 are read only)
Reset Value: 1111 1111 (FFh)
These four registers contain the interrupt software
priority of each interrupt vector.
Each interrupt vector (except RESET and TRAP)
has corresponding bits in these registers where
its own software priority is stored. This corre-
spondance is shown in the following table.
Each I1_x and I0_x bit value in the ISPRx regis-
ters has the same meaning as the I1 and I0 bits
in the CC register.
Level 0 can not be written (I1_x=1, I0_x=0). In
this case, the previously stored value is kept. (ex-
ample: previous=CFh, write=64h, result=44h)
The TLI, RESET, and TRAP vectors have no soft-
ware priorities. When one is serviced, the I1 and I0
bits of the CC register are both set.
*Note: Bits in the ISPRx registers which corre-
spond to the TLI can be read and written but they
are not significant in the interrupt process man-
agement.
Caution: If the I1_x and I0_x bits are modified
while the interrupt x is executed the following be-
haviour has to be considered: If the interrupt x is
still pending (new interrupt or flag not cleared) and
the new software priority is higher than the previ-
ous one, the interrupt x is re-entered. Otherwise,
the software priority stays unchanged up to the
next interrupt request (after the IRET of the inter-
rupt x).

7.6 EXTERNAL INTERRUPTS
7.6.1 I/O Port Interrupt Sensitivity
The external interrupt sensitivity is controlled by
the IPA, IPB and ISxx bits of the EICR register
(Figure 23). This control allows to have up to 4 fully
independent external interrupt source sensitivities.
Each external interrupt source can be generated
on four (or five) different events on the pin:
Falling edge
Rising edge
Falling and rising edge
Falling edge and low level
Rising edge and high level (only for ei0 and ei2)
To guarantee correct functionality, the sensitivity
bits in the EICR register can be modified only
when the I1 and I0 bits of the CC register are both
set to 1 (level 3). This means that interrupts must
be disabled before changing sensitivity.
The pending interrupts are cleared by writing a dif-
ferent value in the ISx[1:0], IPA or IPB bits of the
EICR.

8 POWER SAVING MODES
8.1 INTRODUCTION
To give a large measure of flexibility to the applica-
tion in terms of power consumption, four main
power saving modes are implemented in the ST7
(see Figure 24): SLOW, WAIT (SLOW WAIT), AC-
TIVE HALT and HALT.
After a RESET the normal operating mode is se-
lected by default (RUN mode). This mode drives
the device (CPU and embedded peripherals) by
means of a master clock which is based on the
main oscillator frequency divided or multiplied by 2
(fOSC2).
From RUN mode, the different power saving
modes may be selected by setting the relevant
register bits or by calling the specific ST7 software
instruction whose action depends on the oscillator
status.
Figure 24. Power Saving Mode Transitions
8.2 SLOW MODE
This mode has two targets:
To reduce power consumption by decreasing the
internal clock in the device,
To adapt the internal clock frequency (fCPU) to
the available supply voltage.
SLOW mode is controlled by three bits in the
MCCSR register: the SMS bit which enables or
disables Slow mode and two CPx bits which select
the internal slow frequency (fCPU).
In this mode, the master clock frequency (fOSC2)
can be divided by 2, 4, 8 or 16. The CPU and pe-
ripherals are clocked at this lower frequency
(fCPU).
Note: SLOW-WAIT mode is activated when enter-
ing the WAIT mode while the device is already in
SLOW mode.

8.3 WAIT MODE
WAIT mode places the MCU in a low power con-
sumption mode by stopping the CPU.
This power saving mode is selected by calling the
‘WFI’ instruction.
All peripherals remain active. During WAIT mode,
the I[1:0] bits of the CC register are forced to ‘10’,
to enable all interrupts. All other registers and
memory remain unchanged. The MCU remains in
WAIT mode until an interrupt or RESET occurs,
whereupon the Program Counter branches to the
starting address of the interrupt or Reset service
routine.
The MCU will remain in WAIT mode until a Reset
or an Interrupt occurs, causing it to wake up.
Refer to Figure 26.
Figure 26. WAIT Mode Flow-chart
Note:
1. Before servicing an interrupt, the CC register is
pushed on the stack. The I[1:0] bits of the CC reg-
ister are set to the current software priority level of
the interrupt routine and recovered when the CC
register is popped.

8.4 ACTIVE-HALT AND HALT MODES
ACTIVE-HALT and HALT modes are the two low-
est power consumption modes of the MCU. They
are both entered by executing the ‘HALT’ instruc-
tion. The decision to enter either in ACTIVE-HALT
or HALT mode is given by the MCC/RTC interrupt
enable flag (OIE bit in MCCSR register).
8.4.1 ACTIVE-HALT MODE
ACTIVE-HALT mode is the lowest power con-
sumption mode of the MCU with a real time clock
available. It is entered by executing the ‘HALT’ in-
struction when the OIE bit of the Main Clock Con-
troller Status register (MCCSR) is set (see section
10.2 on page 57 for more details on the MCCSR
register).
The MCU can exit ACTIVE-HALT mode on recep-
tion of an external interrupt, MCC/RTC interrupt or
a RESET. When exiting ACTIVE-HALT mode by
means of an interrupt, no 256 or 4096 CPU cycle
delay occurs. The CPU resumes operation by
servicing the interrupt or by fetching the reset vec-
tor which woke it up (see Figure 28).
When entering ACTIVE-HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits
in the CC register are forced to ‘10b’ to enable in-
terrupts. Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the
MCU wakes up immediately.
In ACTIVE-HALT mode, only the main oscillator
and its associated counter (MCC/RTC) are run-
ning to keep a wake-up time base. All other periph-
erals are not clocked except those which get their
clock supply from another clock generator (such
as external or auxiliary oscillator).
The safeguard against staying locked in ACTIVE-
HALT mode is provided by the oscillator interrupt.
Note: As soon as the interrupt capability of one of
the oscillators is selected (MCCSR.OIE bit set),
entering ACTIVE-HALT mode while the Watchdog
is active does not generate a RESET.
This means that the device cannot spend more
than a defined delay in this power saving mode.
CAUTION: When exiting ACTIVE-HALT mode fol-
lowing an MCC/RTC interrupt, OIE bit of MCCSR
register must not be cleared before tDELAY after
the interrupt occurs (tDELAY = 256 or 4096 tCPU de-
lay depending on option byte). Otherwise, the ST7
enters HALT mode for the remaining tDELAY peri-
od.
Figure 27. ACTIVE-HALT Timing Overview
Figure 28. ACTIVE-HALT Mode Flow-chart
Notes:
1. This delay occurs only if the MCU exits ACTIVE-
HALT mode by means of a RESET.
2. Peripheral clocked with an external clock source
can still be active.
3. Before servicing an interrupt, the CC register is
pushed on the stack. The I[1:0] bits of the CC reg-
ister are set to the current software priority level of
the interrupt routine and restored when the CC
register is popped.

8.4.2 HALT MODE
The HALT mode is the lowest power consumption
mode of the MCU. It is entered by executing the
‘HALT’ instruction when the OIE bit of the Main
Clock Controller Status register (MCCSR) is
cleared (see section 10.2 on page 57 for more de-
tails on the MCCSR register).
The MCU can exit HALT mode on reception of ei-
ther a specific interrupt (see Table 8, “Interrupt
Mapping,” on page 37) or a RESET. When exiting
HALT mode by means of a RESET or an interrupt,
the oscillator is immediately turned on and the 256
or 4096 CPU cycle delay is used to stabilize the
oscillator. After the start up delay, the CPU
resumes operation by servicing the interrupt or by
fetching the reset vector which woke it up (see Fig-
ure 30).
When entering HALT mode, the I[1:0] bits in the
CC register are forced to ‘10b’to enable interrupts.
Therefore, if an interrupt is pending, the MCU
wakes up immediately.
In HALT mode, the main oscillator is turned off
causing all internal processing to be stopped, in-
cluding the operation of the on-chip peripherals.
All peripherals are not clocked except the ones
which get their clock supply from another clock
generator (such as an external or auxiliary oscilla-
tor).
The compatibility of Watchdog operation with
HALT mode is configured by the “WDGHALT” op-
tion bit of the option byte. The HALT instruction
when executed while the Watchdog system is en-
abled, can generate a Watchdog RESET (see sec-
tion 14.1 on page 174 for more details).
Figure 29. HALT Timing Overview
Figure 30. HALT Mode Flow-chart
Notes:
1. WDGHALT is an option bit. See option byte sec-
tion for more details.
2. Peripheral clocked with an external clock source
can still be active.
3. Only some specific interrupts can exit the MCU
from HALT mode (such as external interrupt). Re-
fer to Table 8, “Interrupt Mapping,” on page 37 for
more details.
4. Before servicing an interrupt, the CC register is
pushed on the stack. The I[1:0] bits of the CC reg-
ister are set to the current software priority level of
the interrupt routine and recovered when the CC
register is popped.

8.4.2.1 Halt Mode Recommendations
Make sure that an external event is available to
wake up the microcontroller from Halt mode.
When using an external interrupt to wake up the
microcontroller, reinitialize the corresponding I/O
as “Input Pull-up with Interrupt” before executing
the HALT instruction. The main reason for this is
that the I/O may be wrongly configured due to ex-
ternal interference or by an unforeseen logical
condition.
For the same reason, reinitialize the level sensi-
tiveness of each external interrupt as a precau-
tionary measure.
The opcode for the HALT instruction is 0x8E. To
avoid an unexpected HALT instruction due to a
program counter failure, it is advised to clear all
occurrences of the data value 0x8E from memo-
ry. For example, avoid defining a constant in
ROM with the value 0x8E.
As the HALT instruction clears the interrupt mask
in the CC register to allow interrupts, the user
may choose to clear all pending interrupt bits be-
fore executing the HALT instruction. This avoids
entering other peripheral interrupt routines after
executing the external interrupt routine corre-
sponding to the wake-up event (reset or external
interrupt).

9 I/O PORTS
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The I/O ports offer different functional modes:
transfer of data through digital inputs and outputs
and for specific pins:
external interrupt generation
alternate signal input/output for the on-chip pe-
ripherals.
An I/O port contains up to 8 pins. Each pin can be
programmed independently as digital input (with or
without interrupt generation) or digital output.
9.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Each port has two main registers:
Data Register (DR)
Data Direction Register (DDR)
and one optional register:
Option Register (OR)
Each I/O pin may be programmed using the corre-
sponding register bits in the DDR and OR regis-
ters: Bit X corresponding to pin X of the port. The
same correspondence is used for the DR register.
The following description takes into account the
OR register, (for specific ports which do not pro-
vide this register refer to the I/O Port Implementa-
tion section). The generic I/O block diagram is
shown in Figure 31
9.2.1 Input Modes
The input configuration is selected by clearing the
corresponding DDR register bit.
In this case, reading the DR register returns the
digital value applied to the external I/O pin.
Different input modes can be selected by software
through the OR register.
Notes:
1. Writing the DR register modifies the latch value
but does not affect the pin status.
2. When switching from input to output mode, the
DR register has to be written first to drive the cor-
rect level on the pin as soon as the port is config-
ured as an output.
3. Do not use read/modify/write instructions (BSET
or BRES) to modify the DR register as this might
corrupt the DR content for I/Os configured as input.
External interrupt function
When an I/O is configured as Input with Interrupt,
an event on this I/O can generate an external inter-
rupt request to the CPU.
Each pin can independently generate an interrupt
request. The interrupt sensitivity is independently
programmable using the sensitivity bits in the
EICR register.
Each external interrupt vector is linked to a dedi-
cated group of I/O port pins (see pinout description
and interrupt section). If several input pins are se-
lected simultaneously as interrupt sources, these
are first detected according to the sensitivity bits in
the EICR register and then logically ORed.
The external interrupts are hardware interrupts,
which means that the request latch (not accessible
directly by the application) is automatically cleared
when the corresponding interrupt vector is
fetched. To clear an unwanted pending interrupt
by software, the sensitivity bits in the EICR register
must be modified.
9.2.2 Output Modes
The output configuration is selected by setting the
corresponding DDR register bit. In this case, writ-
ing the DR register applies this digital value to the
I/O pin through the latch. Then reading the DR reg-
ister returns the previously stored value.
Two different output modes can be selected by
software through the OR register: Output push-pull
and open-drain.
DR register value and output pin status:
9.2.3 Alternate Functions
When an on-chip peripheral is configured to use a
pin, the alternate function is automatically select-
ed. This alternate function takes priority over the
standard I/O programming.
When the signal is coming from an on-chip periph-
eral, the I/O pin is automatically configured in out-
put mode (push-pull or open drain according to the
peripheral).
When the signal is going to an on-chip peripheral,
the I/O pin must be configured in input mode. In
this case, the pin state is also digitally readable by
addressing the DR register.
Note: Input pull-up configuration can cause unex-
pected value at the input of the alternate peripheral
input. When an on-chip peripheral use a pin as in-
put and output, this pin has to be configured in in-
put floating mode.

CAUTION: The alternate function must not be ac-
tivated as long as the pin is configured as input
with interrupt, in order to avoid generating spurious
interrupts.
Analog alternate function
When the pin is used as an ADC input, the I/O
must be configured as floating input. The analog
multiplexer (controlled by the ADC registers)
switches the analog voltage present on the select-
ed pin to the common analog rail which is connect-
ed to the ADC input.
It is recommended not to change the voltage level
or loading on any port pin while conversion is in
progress. Furthermore it is recommended not to
have clocking pins located close to a selected an-
alog pin.
WARNING: The analog input voltage level must
be within the limits stated in the absolute maxi-
mum ratings.
9.3 I/O PORT IMPLEMENTATION
The hardware implementation on each I/O port de-
pends on the settings in the DDR and OR registers
and specific feature of the I/O port such as ADC In-
put or true open drain.
Switching these I/O ports from one state to anoth-
er should be done in a sequence that prevents un-
wanted side effects. Recommended safe transi-
tions are illustrated in Figure 32 on page 49. Other
transitions are potentially risky and should be
avoided, since they are likely to present unwanted
side-effects such as spurious interrupt generation.

9.5 INTERRUPTS
The external interrupt event generates an interrupt
if the corresponding configuration is selected with
DDR and OR registers and the interrupt mask in
the CC register is not active (RIM instruction).

10.1 WATCHDOG TIMER (WDG)
10.1.1 Introduction
The Watchdog timer is used to detect the occur-
rence of a software fault, usually generated by ex-
ternal interference or by unforeseen logical condi-
tions, which causes the application program to
abandon its normal sequence. The Watchdog cir-
cuit generates an MCU reset on expiry of a pro-
grammed time period, unless the program refresh-
es the counter’s contents before the T6 bit be-
comes cleared.
10.1.2 Main Features
Programmable free-running downcounter
Programmable reset
Reset (if watchdog activated) when the T6 bit
reaches zero
Optional reset on HALT instruction
(configurable by option byte)
Hardware Watchdog selectable by option byte
10.1.3 Functional Description
The counter value stored in the Watchdog Control
register (WDGCR bits T[6:0]), is decremented
every 16384 fOSC2 cycles (approx.), and the
length of the timeout period can be programmed
by the user in 64 increments.
If the watchdog is activated (the WDGA bit is set)
and when the 7-bit timer (bits T[6:0]) rolls over
from 40h to 3Fh (T6 becomes cleared), it initiates
a reset cycle pulling the reset pin low for typically
30µs.
The application program must write in the
WDGCR register at regular intervals during normal
operation to prevent an MCU reset. This down-
counter is free-running: it counts down even if the
watchdog is disabled. The value to be stored in the
WDGCR register must be between FFh and C0h:
The WDGA bit is set (watchdog enabled)
The T6 bit is set to prevent generating an imme-
diate reset
The T[5:0] bits contain the number of increments
which represents the time delay before the
watchdog produces a reset (see Figure 34. Ap-
proximate Timeout Duration). The timing varies
between a minimum and a maximum value due
to the unknown status of the prescaler when writ-
ing to the WDGCR register (see Figure 35).
Following a reset, the watchdog is disabled. Once
activated it cannot be disabled, except by a reset.
The T6 bit can be used to generate a software re-
set (the WDGA bit is set and the T6 bit is cleared).
If the watchdog is activated, the HALT instruction
will generate a Reset.

10.1.4 How to Program the Watchdog Timeout
Figure 34 shows the linear relationship between
the 6-bit value to be loaded in the Watchdog Coun-
ter (CNT) and the resulting timeout duration in mil-
liseconds. This can be used for a quick calculation
without taking the timing variations into account. If
more precision is needed, use the formulae in Fig-
ure 35.
Caution: When writing to the WDGCR register, al-
ways write 1 in the T6 bit to avoid generating an
immediate reset.

If an external interrupt is received, the Watchdog restarts counting after 256
or 4096 CPU clocks. If a reset is generated, the Watchdog is disabled (reset
state) unless Hardware Watchdog is selected by option byte. For applica-

10.2 MAIN CLOCK CONTROLLER WITH REAL TIME CLOCK AND BEEPER (MCC/RTC)
The Main Clock Controller consists of three differ-
ent functions:
a programmable CPU clock prescaler
a clock-out signal to supply external devices
a real time clock timer with interrupt capability
Each function can be used independently and si-
multaneously.
10.2.1 Programmable CPU Clock Prescaler
The programmable CPU clock prescaler supplies
the clock for the ST7 CPU and its internal periph-
erals. It manages SLOW power saving mode (See
Section 8.2 SLOW MODE for more details).
The prescaler selects the fCPU main clock frequen-
cy and is controlled by three bits in the MCCSR
register: CP[1:0] and SMS.
10.2.2 Clock-out Capability
The clock-out capability is an alternate function of
an I/O port pin that outputs a fCPU clock to drive
external devices. It is controlled by the MCO bit in
the MCCSR register.
CAUTION: When selected, the clock out pin sus-
pends the clock during ACTIVE-HALT mode.
10.2.3 Real Time Clock Timer (RTC)
The counter of the real time clock timer allows an
interrupt to be generated based on an accurate
real time clock. Four different time bases depend-
ing directly on fOSC2 are available. The whole
functionality is controlled by four bits of the MCC-
SR register: TB[1:0], OIE and OIF.
When the RTC interrupt is enabled (OIE bit set),
the ST7 enters ACTIVE-HALT mode when the
HALT instruction is executed. See Section 8.4 AC-
TIVE-HALT AND HALT MODES for more details.
10.2.4 Beeper
The beep function is controlled by the MCCBCR
register. It can output three selectable frequencies
on the BEEP pin (I/O port alternate function).

10.2.6 Interrupts
The MCC/RTC interrupt event generates an inter-

the interrupt mask in the CC register is not active
(RIM instruction).
Note:
The MCC/RTC interrupt wakes up the MCU from
ACTIVE-HALT mode, not from HALT mode.

general-purpose I/O)
1: MCO alternate function enabled (fCPU on I/O

Note: To reduce power consumption, the MCO
function is not active in ACTIVE-HALT mode.
Bit 6:5 = CP[1:0] CPU clock prescaler
These bits select the CPU clock prescaler which is
applied in the different slow modes. Their action is
conditioned by the setting of the SMS bit. These
two bits are set and cleared by software
Bit 4 = SMS Slow mode select
This bit is set and cleared by software.

tails.
Bit 3:2 = TB[1:0] Time base control
These bits select the programmable divider time
base. They are set and cleared by software.
A modification of the time base is taken into ac-
count at the end of the current period (previously
set) to avoid an unwanted time shift. This allows to
use this time base as a real time clock.
Bit 1 = OIE Oscillator interrupt enable
This bit set and cleared by software.
0: Oscillator interrupt disabled
1: Oscillator interrupt enabled
This interrupt can be used to exit from ACTIVE-
HALT mode.
When this bit is set, calling the ST7 software HALT
instruction enters the ACTIVE-HALT power saving
mode.

10.3 PWM AUTO-RELOAD TIMER (ART)
10.3.1 Introduction
The Pulse Width Modulated Auto-Reload Timer
on-chip peripheral consists of an 8-bit auto reload
counter with compare/capture capabilities and of a
7-bit prescaler clock source.
These resources allow five possible operating
modes:
Generation of up to 4 independent PWM signals
Output compare and Time base interrupt
Up to two input capture functions
External event detector
Up to two external interrupt sources
The three first modes can be used together with a
single counter frequency.
The timer can be used to wake up the MCU from
WAIT and HALT modes.

The free running 8-bit counter is fed by the output
of the prescaler, and is incremented on every ris-
ing edge of the clock signal.
It is possible to read or write the contents of the
counter on the fly by reading or writing the Counter
Access register (ARTCAR).
When a counter overflow occurs, the counter is
automatically reloaded with the contents of the
ARTARR register (the prescaler is not affected).
Counter clock and prescaler
The counter clock frequency is given by:
fCOUNTER = fINPUT / 2CC[2:0]
The timer counter’s input clock (fINPUT) feeds the
7-bit programmable prescaler, which selects one
of the 8 available taps of the prescaler, as defined
by CC[2:0] bits in the Control/Status Register
(ARTCSR). Thus the division factor of the prescal-
er can be set to 2n (where n = 0, 1,..7).
This fINPUT frequency source is selected through
the EXCL bit of the ARTCSR register and can be
either the fCPU or an external input frequency fEXT.
The clock input to the counter is enabled by the
TCE (Timer Counter Enable) bit in the ARTCSR
register. When TCE is reset, the counter is
stopped and the prescaler and counter contents
are frozen. When TCE is set, the counter runs at
the rate of the selected clock source.
Counter and Prescaler Initialization
After RESET, the counter and the prescaler are
cleared and fINPUT = fCPU.
The counter can be initialized by:
Writing to the ARTARR register and then setting
the FCRL (Force Counter Re-Load) and the TCE
(Timer Counter Enable) bits in the ARTCSR reg-
ister.
Writing to the ARTCAR counter access register,
In both cases the 7-bit prescaler is also cleared,
whereupon counting will start from a known value.
Direct access to the prescaler is not possible.
Output compare control
The timer compare function is based on four differ-
ent comparisons with the counter (one for each
PWMx output). Each comparison is made be-
tween the counter value and an output compare
register (OCRx) value. This OCRx register can not
be accessed directly, it is loaded from the duty cy-
cle register (PWMDCRx) at each overflow of the
counter.
This double buffering method avoids glitch gener-
ation when changing the duty cycle on the fly.

Independent PWM signal generation
This mode allows up to four Pulse Width Modulat-
ed signals to be generated on the PWMx output
pins with minimum core processing overhead.
This function is stopped during HALT mode.
Each PWMx output signal can be selected inde-
pendently using the corresponding OEx bit in the
PWM Control register (PWMCR). When this bit is
set, the corresponding I/O pin is configured as out-
put push-pull alternate function.
The PWM signals all have the same frequency
which is controlled by the counter period and the
ARTARR register value.
fPWM = fCOUNTER / (256 - ARTARR)
When a counter overflow occurs, the PWMx pin
level is changed depending on the corresponding
OPx (output polarity) bit in the PWMCR register.
When the counter reaches the value contained in
one of the output compare register (OCRx) the
corresponding PWMx pin level is restored.
It should be noted that the reload values will also
affect the value and the resolution of the duty cycle
of the PWM output signal. To obtain a signal on a
PWMx pin, the contents of the OCRx register must
be greater than the contents of the ARTARR reg-
ister.
The maximum available resolution for the PWMx
duty cycle is:
Resolution = 1 / (256 - ARTARR)
Note: To get the maximum resolution (1/256), the
ARTARR register must be 0. With this maximum
resolution, 0% and 100% can be obtained by
changing the polarity.

Output compare and Time base interrupt
On overflow, the OVF flag of the ARTCSR register
is set and an overflow interrupt request is generat-
ed if the overflow interrupt enable bit, OIE, in the
ARTCSR register, is set. The OVF flag must be re-
set by the user software. This interrupt can be
used as a time base in the application.
External clock and event detector mode
Using the fEXT external prescaler input clock, the
auto-reload timer can be used as an external clock
event detector. In this mode, the ARTARR register
is used to select the nEVENT number of events to
be counted before setting the OVF flag.
nEVENT = 256 - ARTARR
Caution: The external clock function is not availa-
ble in HALT mode. If HALT mode is used in the ap-
plication, prior to executing the HALT instruction,
the counter must be disabled by clearing the TCE
bit in the ARTCSR register to avoid spurious coun-
ter increments.

Input capture function
This mode allows the measurement of external
signal pulse widths through ARTICRx registers.
Each input capture can generate an interrupt inde-
pendently on a selected input signal transition.
This event is flagged by a set of the corresponding
CFx bits of the Input Capture Control/Status regis-
ter (ARTICCSR).
These input capture interrupts are enabled
through the CIEx bits of the ARTICCSR register.
The active transition (falling or rising edge) is soft-
ware programmable through the CSx bits of the
ARTICCSR register.
The read only input capture registers (ARTICRx)
are used to latch the auto-reload counter value
when a transition is detected on the ARTICx pin
(CFx bit set in ARTICCSR register). After fetching
the interrupt vector, the CFx flags can be read to
identify the interrupt source.
Note: After a capture detection, data transfer in
the ARTICRx register is inhibited until it is read
(clearing the CFx bit).
The timer interrupt remains pending while the CFx
flag is set when the interrupt is enabled (CIEx bit
set). This means, the ARTICRx register has to be
read at each capture event to clear the CFx flag.
The timing resolution is given by auto-reload coun-
ter cycle time (1/fCOUNTER).
Note: During HALT mode, if both input capture
and external clock are enabled, the ARTICRx reg-
ister value is not guaranteed if the input capture
pin and the external clock change simultaneously.
External interrupt capability
This mode allows the Input capture capabilities to
be used as external interrupt sources. The inter-
rupts are generated on the edge of the ARTICx
signal.
The edge sensitivity of the external interrupts is
programmable (CSx bit of ARTICCSR register)
and they are independently enabled through CIEx
bits of the ARTICCSR register. After fetching the
interrupt vector, the CFx flags can be read to iden-
tify the interrupt source.
During HALT mode, the external interrupts can be
used to wake up the micro (if the CIEx bit is set).

10.4 16-BIT TIMER
10.4.1 Introduction
The timer consists of a 16-bit free-running counter
driven by a programmable prescaler.
It may be used for a variety of purposes, including
pulse length measurement of up to two input sig-
nals (input capture) or generation of up to two out-
put waveforms (output compare and PWM).
Pulse lengths and waveform periods can be mod-
ulated from a few microseconds to several milli-
seconds using the timer prescaler and the CPU
clock prescaler.
Some ST7 devices have two on-chip 16-bit timers.
They are completely independent, and do not
share any resources. They are synchronized after
a MCU reset as long as the timer clock frequen-
cies are not modified.
This description covers one or two 16-bit timers. In
ST7 devices with two timers, register names are
prefixed with TA (Timer A) or TB (Timer B).

*Note: Some timer pins may not be available (not
bonded) in some ST7 devices. Refer to the device
pin out description.
When reading an input signal on a non-bonded
pin, the value will always be ‘1’.
10.4.3 Functional Description
10.4.3.1 Counter
The main block of the Programmable Timer is a
16-bit free running upcounter and its associated
16-bit registers. The 16-bit registers are made up
of two 8-bit registers called high and low.
Counter Register (CR):
Counter High Register (CHR) is the most sig-
nificant byte (MS Byte).
Counter Low Register (CLR) is the least sig-
nificant byte (LS Byte).
Alternate Counter Register (ACR)
Alternate Counter High Register (ACHR) is the
most significant byte (MS Byte).
Alternate Counter Low Register (ACLR) is the
least significant byte (LS Byte).
These two read-only 16-bit registers contain the
same value but with the difference that reading the
ACLR register does not clear the TOF bit (Timer
overflow flag), located in the Status register, (SR),
(see note at the end of paragraph titled 16-bit read
sequence).
Writing in the CLR register or ACLR register resets
the free running counter to the FFFCh value.
Both counters have a reset value of FFFCh (this is
the only value which is reloaded in the 16-bit tim-
er). The reset value of both counters is also
FFFCh in One Pulse mode and PWM mode.
The timer clock depends on the clock control bits
of the CR2 register, as illustrated in Table 17 Clock
Control Bits. The value in the counter register re-
peats every 131072, 262144 or 524288 CPU clock
cycles depending on the CC[1:0] bits.
The timer frequency can be fCPU/2, fCPU/4, fCPU/8
or an external frequency.

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)
16-bit read sequence: (from either the Counter
Register or the Alternate Counter Register).
The user must read the MS Byte first, then the LS
Byte value is buffered automatically.
This buffered value remains unchanged until the
16-bit read sequence is completed, even if the
user reads the MS Byte several times.
After a complete reading sequence, if only the
CLR register or ACLR register are read, they re-
turn the LS Byte of the count value at the time of
the read.
Whatever the timer mode used (input capture, out-
put compare, One Pulse mode or PWM mode) an
overflow occurs when the counter rolls over from
FFFFh to 0000h then:
The TOF bit of the SR register is set.
A timer interrupt is generated if:
TOIE bit of the CR1 register is set and
I bit of the CC register is cleared.
If one of these conditions is false, the interrupt re-
mains pending to be issued as soon as they are
both true.
Clearing the overflow interrupt request is done in
two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the TOF bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the CLR register.
Notes: The TOF bit is not cleared by accesses to
ACLR register. The advantage of accessing the
ACLR register rather than the CLR register is that
it allows simultaneous use of the overflow function
and reading the free running counter at random
times (for example, to measure elapsed time) with-
out the risk of clearing the TOF bit erroneously.
The timer is not affected by WAIT mode.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until the
mode is exited. Counting then resumes from the
previous count (MCU awakened by an interrupt) or
from the reset count (MCU awakened by a Reset).
10.4.3.2 External Clock
The external clock (where available) is selected if
CC0 = 1 and CC1 = 1 in the CR2 register.
The status of the EXEDG bit in the CR2 register
determines the type of level transition on the exter-
nal clock pin EXTCLK that will trigger the free run-
ning counter.
The counter is synchronized with the falling edge
of the internal CPU clock.
A minimum of four falling edges of the CPU clock
must occur between two consecutive active edges
of the external clock; thus the external clock fre-
quency must be less than a quarter of the CPU
clock frequency.

10.4.3.3 Input Capture
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2 because
there are two input capture functions in the 16-bit
timer.
The two 16-bit input capture registers (IC1R and
IC2R) are used to latch the value of the free run-
ning counter after a transition is detected on the
ICAPi pin (see Figure 47).
ICiR register is a read-only register.
The active transition is software programmable
through the IEDGi bit of Control Registers (CRi).
Timing resolution is one count of the free running
counter: (fCPU/CC[1:0]).
Procedure:
To use the input capture function select the follow-
ing in the CR2 register:
Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).
Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP2 pin with the IEDG2 bit (the ICAP2 pin
must be configured as floating input or input with
pull-up without interrupt if this configuration is
available).
And select the following in the CR1 register:
Set the ICIE bit to generate an interrupt after an
input capture coming from either the ICAP1 pin
or the ICAP2 pin
Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1pin must
be configured as floating input or input with pull-
up without interrupt if this configuration is availa-
ble).
When an input capture occurs:
– ICFi bit is set.
The ICiR register contains the value of the free
running counter on the active transition on the
ICAPi pin (see Figure 48).
A timer interrupt is generated if the ICIE bit is set
and the I bit is cleared in the CC register. Other-
wise, the interrupt remains pending until both
conditions become true.
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (that
is, clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.
Notes:
1. After reading the ICiHR register, transfer of
input capture data is inhibited and ICFi will
never be set until the ICiLR register is also
read.
2. The ICiR register contains the free running
counter value which corresponds to the most
recent input capture.
3. The two input capture functions can be used
together even if the timer also uses the two out-
put compare functions.
4. In One Pulse mode and PWM mode only Input
Capture 2 can be used.
5. The alternate inputs (ICAP1 and ICAP2) are
always directly connected to the timer. So any
transitions on these pins activates the input
capture function.
Moreover if one of the ICAPi pins is configured
as an input and the second one as an output,
an interrupt can be generated if the user tog-
gles the output pin and if the ICIE bit is set.
This can be avoided if the input capture func-
tion i is disabled by reading the ICiHR (see note
1).
6. The TOF bit can be used with interrupt genera-
tion in order to measure events that go beyond
the timer range (FFFFh).

10.4.3.4 Output Compare
In this section, the index, i, may be 1 or 2 because
there are two output compare functions in the 16-
bit timer.
This function can be used to control an output
waveform or indicate when a period of time has
elapsed.
When a match is found between the Output Com-
pare register and the free running counter, the out-
put compare function:
Assigns pins with a programmable value if the
OCiE bit is set
Sets a flag in the status register
Generates an interrupt if enabled
Two 16-bit registers Output Compare Register 1
(OC1R) and Output Compare Register 2 (OC2R)
contain the value to be compared to the counter
register each timer clock cycle.
These registers are readable and writable and are
not affected by the timer hardware. A reset event
changes the OCiR value to 8000h.
Timing resolution is one count of the free running
counter: (fCPU/CC[1:0]).
Procedure:
To use the output compare function, select the fol-
lowing in the CR2 register:
Set the OCiE bit if an output is needed then the
OCMPi pin is dedicated to the output compare i
signal.
Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).
And select the following in the CR1 register:
Select the OLVLi bit to applied to the OCMPi pins
after the match occurs.
Set the OCIE bit to generate an interrupt if it is
needed.
When a match is found between OCiR register
and CR register:
– OCFi bit is set.
– The OCMPi pin takes OLVLi bit value (OCMPi
pin latch is forced low during reset).
A timer interrupt is generated if the OCIE bit is
set in the CR1 register and the I bit is cleared in
the CC register (CC).
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-
ing application can be calculated using the follow-
ing formula:
Where:
t = Output compare period (in seconds)
fCPU = CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
PRESC = Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 de-
pending on CC[1:0] bits, see Table 17
Clock Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock, the formula
is:
Where:
t = Output compare period (in seconds)
fEXT = External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
Clearing the output compare interrupt request
(that is, clearing the OCFi bit) is done by:
1. Reading the SR register while the OCFi bit is
set.
2. An access (read or write) to the OCiLR register.
The following procedure is recommended to pre-
vent the OCFi bit from being set between the time
it is read and the write to the OCiR register:
Write to the OCiHR register (further compares
are inhibited).
Read the SR register (first step of the clearance
of the OCFi bit, which may be already set).
Write to the OCiLR register (enables the output
compare function and clears the OCFi bit).

16-BIT TIMER (Cont’d)
Notes:
1. After a processor write cycle to the OCiHR reg-
ister, the output compare function is inhibited
until the OCiLR register is also written.
2. If the OCiE bit is not set, the OCMPi pin is a
general I/O port and the OLVLi bit will not
appear when a match is found but an interrupt
could be generated if the OCIE bit is set.
3. In both internal and external clock modes,
OCFi and OCMPi are set while the counter
value equals the OCiR register value (see Fig-
ure 50 on page 77 for an example with fCPU/2
and Figure 51 on page 77 for an example with
fCPU/4). This behavior is the same in OPM or
PWM mode.
4. The output compare functions can be used both
for generating external events on the OCMPi
pins even if the input capture mode is also
used.
5. The value in the 16-bit OCiR register and the
OLVi bit should be changed after each suc-
cessful comparison in order to control an output
waveform or establish a new elapsed timeout.
Forced Compare Output capability
When the FOLVi bit is set by software, the OLVLi
bit is copied to the OCMPi pin. The OLVi bit has to
be toggled in order to toggle the OCMPi pin when
it is enabled (OCiE bit = 1). The OCFi bit is then
not set by hardware, and thus no interrupt request
is generated.
The FOLVLi bits have no effect in both One Pulse
mode and PWM mode.

10.4.3.5 One Pulse Mode
One Pulse mode enables the generation of a
pulse when an external event occurs. This mode is
selected via the OPM bit in the CR2 register.
The One Pulse mode uses the Input Capture1
function and the Output Compare1 function.
Procedure:
To use One Pulse mode:
1. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-
sponding to the length of the pulse (see the for-
mula in the opposite column).
2. Select the following in the CR1 register:
Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after the pulse.
Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin during the pulse.
Select the edge of the active transition on the
ICAP1 pin with the IEDG1 bit (the ICAP1 pin
must be configured as floating input).
3. Select the following in the CR2 register:
Set the OC1E bit, the OCMP1 pin is then ded-
icated to the Output Compare 1 function.
Set the OPM bit.
Select the timer clock CC[1:0] (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).
Then, on a valid event on the ICAP1 pin, the coun-
ter is initialized to FFFCh and OLVL2 bit is loaded
on the OCMP1 pin, the ICF1 bit is set and the val-
ue FFFDh is loaded in the IC1R register.
Because the ICF1 bit is set when an active edge
occurs, an interrupt can be generated if the ICIE
bit is set.
Clearing the Input Capture interrupt request (that
is, clearing the ICFi bit) is done in two steps:
1. Reading the SR register while the ICFi bit is set.
2. An access (read or write) to the ICiLR register.
The OC1R register value required for a specific
timing application can be calculated using the fol-
lowing formula:
Where:
t = Pulse period (in seconds)
fCPU = CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
PRESC = Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 depend-
ing on the CC[1:0] bits, see Table 17
Clock Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:
Where:
t = Pulse period (in seconds)
fEXT = External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
When the value of the counter is equal to the value
of the contents of the OC1R register, the OLVL1
bit is output on the OCMP1 pin, (See Figure 52).
Notes:
1. The OCF1 bit cannot be set by hardware in
One Pulse mode but the OCF2 bit can generate
an Output Compare interrupt.
2. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
One Pulse mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.
3. If OLVL1 = OLVL2 a continuous signal will be
seen on the OCMP1 pin.
4. The ICAP1 pin can not be used to perform input
capture. The ICAP2 pin can be used to perform
input capture (ICF2 can be set and IC2R can be
loaded) but the user must take care that the
counter is reset each time a valid edge occurs
on the ICAP1 pin and ICF1 can also generates
interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When One Pulse mode is used OC1R is dedi-
cated to this mode. Nevertheless OC2R and
OCF2 can be used to indicate a period of time
has been elapsed but cannot generate an out-
put waveform because the level OLVL2 is dedi-
cated to the One Pulse mode.

10.4.3.6 Pulse Width Modulation Mode
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode enables the
generation of a signal with a frequency and pulse
length determined by the value of the OC1R and
OC2R registers.
Pulse Width Modulation mode uses the complete
Output Compare 1 function plus the OC2R regis-
ter, and so this functionality can not be used when
PWM mode is activated.
In PWM mode, double buffering is implemented on
the output compare registers. Any new values writ-
ten in the OC1R and OC2R registers are taken
into account only at the end of the PWM period
(OC2) to avoid spikes on the PWM output pin
(OCMP1).
Procedure
To use Pulse Width Modulation mode:
1. Load the OC2R register with the value corre-
sponding to the period of the signal using the
formula in the opposite column.
2. Load the OC1R register with the value corre-
sponding to the period of the pulse if
(OLVL1 = 0 and OLVL2 = 1) using the formula
in the opposite column.
3. Select the following in the CR1 register:
Using the OLVL1 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with the OC1R register.
Using the OLVL2 bit, select the level to be ap-
plied to the OCMP1 pin after a successful
comparison with the OC2R register.
4. Select the following in the CR2 register:
Set OC1E bit: the OCMP1 pin is then dedicat-
ed to the output compare 1 function.
Set the PWM bit.
Select the timer clock (CC[1:0]) (see Table 17
Clock Control Bits).
If OLVL1 = 1 and OLVL2 = 0 the length of the pos-
itive pulse is the difference between the OC2R and
OC1R registers.
If OLVL1 = OLVL2 a continuous signal will be
seen on the OCMP1 pin.
The OCiR register value required for a specific tim-
ing application can be calculated using the follow-
ing formula:
Where:
t = Signal or pulse period (in seconds)
fCPU = CPU clock frequency (in hertz)
PRESC = Timer prescaler factor (2, 4 or 8 depend-
ing on CC[1:0] bits, see Table 17 Clock
Control Bits)
If the timer clock is an external clock the formula is:
Where:
t = Signal or pulse period (in seconds)
fEXT = External timer clock frequency (in hertz)
The Output Compare 2 event causes the counter
to be initialized to FFFCh (See Figure 53)
Notes:
1. After a write instruction to the OCiHR register,
the output compare function is inhibited until the
OCiLR register is also written.
2. The OCF1 and OCF2 bits cannot be set by
hardware in PWM mode therefore the Output
Compare interrupt is inhibited.
3. The ICF1 bit is set by hardware when the coun-
ter reaches the OC2R value and can produce a
timer interrupt if the ICIE bit is set and the I bit is
cleared.
4. In PWM mode the ICAP1 pin can not be used
to perform input capture because it is discon-
nected to the timer. The ICAP2 pin can be used
to perform input capture (ICF2 can be set and
IC2R can be loaded) but the user must take
care that the counter is reset each period and
ICF1 can also generates interrupt if ICIE is set.
5. When the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
One Pulse mode (OPM) bits are both set, the
PWM mode is the only active one.

Note: The 16-bit Timer interrupt events are connected to the same interrupt vector (see Interrupts chap-

Mode Description
WAIT No effect on 16-bit Timer.
Timer interrupts cause the device to exit from WAIT mode.
HALT
16-bit Timer registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the counter stops counting until Halt mode is exited. Counting resumes from the previous
count when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability or from the counter
reset value when the MCU is woken up by a RESET.
If an input capture event occurs on the ICAPi pin, the input capture detection circuitry is armed. Consequent-
ly, when the MCU is woken up by an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” capability, the ICFi bit is set, and
the counter value present when exiting from HALT mode is captured into the ICiR register.

10.5 SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
10.5.1 Introduction
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) allows full-
duplex, synchronous, serial communication with
external devices. An SPI system may consist of a
master and one or more slaves however the SPI
interface can not be a master in a multi-master
system.
10.5.2 Main Features
Full duplex synchronous transfers (on 3 lines)
Simplex synchronous transfers (on 2 lines)
Master or slave operation
Six master mode frequencies (fCPU/4 max.)
fCPU/2 max. slave mode frequency (see note)
SS Management by software or hardware
Programmable clock polarity and phase
End of transfer interrupt flag
Write collision, Master Mode Fault and Overrun
flags
Note: In slave mode, continuous transmission is
not possible at maximum frequency due to the
software overhead for clearing status flags and to
initiate the next transmission sequence.
10.5.3 General Description
Figure 54 shows the serial peripheral interface
(SPI) block diagram. There are 3 registers:
SPI Control Register (SPICR)
SPI Control/Status Register (SPICSR)
SPI Data Register (SPIDR)
The SPI is connected to external devices through
4 pins:
MISO: Master In / Slave Out data
MOSI: Master Out / Slave In data
SCK: Serial Clock out by SPI masters and in-
put by SPI slaves

: Slave select:
This input signal acts as a ‘chip select’ to let
the SPI master communicate with slaves indi-
vidually and to avoid contention on the data
lines. Slave SS inputs can be driven by stand-
ard I/O ports on the master MCU.
10.5.3.1 Functional Description
A basic example of interconnections between a
single master and a single slave is illustrated in
Figure 55.
The MOSI pins are connected together and the
MISO pins are connected together. In this way
data is transferred serially between master and
slave (most significant bit first).
The communication is always initiated by the mas-
ter. When the master device transmits data to a
slave device via MOSI pin, the slave device re-
sponds by sending data to the master device via
the MISO pin. This implies full duplex communica-
tion with both data out and data in synchronized
with the same clock signal (which is provided by
the master device via the SCK pin).
To use a single data line, the MISO and MOSI pins
must be connected at each node ( in this case only
simplex communication is possible).
Four possible data/clock timing relationships may
be chosen (see Figure 58) but master and slave
must be programmed with the same timing mode.

10.5.3.2 Slave Select Management
As an alternative to using the SS pin to control the
Slave Select signal, the application can choose to
manage the Slave Select signal by software. This
is configured by the SSM bit in the SPICSR regis-
ter (see Figure 57)
In software management, the external SS pin is
free for other application uses and the internal SS
signal level is driven by writing to the SSI bit in the
SPICSR register.
In Master mode:
–SS
internal must be held high continuously
In Slave Mode:
There are two cases depending on the data/clock
timing relationship (see Figure 56):
If CPHA=1 (data latched on 2nd clock edge):
–SS
internal must be held low during the entire
transmission. This implies that in single slave
applications the SS pin either can be tied to
VSS, or made free for standard I/O by manag-
ing the SS function by software (SSM= 1 and
SSI=0 in the in the SPICSR register)
If CPHA=0 (data latched on 1st clock edge):
–SS
internal must be held low during byte
transmission and pulled high between each
byte to allow the slave to write to the shift reg-
ister. If SS is not pulled high, a Write Collision
error will occur when the slave writes to the
shift register (see Section 10.5.5.3).

10.5.3.3 Master Mode Operation
In master mode, the serial clock is output on the
SCK pin. The clock frequency, polarity and phase
are configured by software (refer to the description
of the SPICSR register).
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if
CPOL=0).
To operate the SPI in master mode, perform the
following steps in order (if the SPICSR register is
not written first, the SPICR register setting
(MSTR bit) may be not taken into account):
1. Write to the SPICR register:
Select the clock frequency by configuring the
SPR[2:0] bits.
Select the clock polarity and clock phase by
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits. Figure
58 shows the four possible configurations.
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
2. Write to the SPICSR register:
Either set the SSM bit and set the SSI bit or
clear the SSM bit and tie the SS pin high for
the complete byte transmit sequence.
3. Write to the SPICR register:
Set the MSTR and SPE bits
Note: MSTR and SPE bits remain set only if
SS is high).
The transmit sequence begins when software
writes a byte in the SPIDR register.
10.5.3.4 Master Mode Transmit Sequence
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and
then shifted out serially to the MOSI pin most sig-
nificant bit first.
When data transfer is complete:
The SPIF bit is set by hardware
An interrupt request is generated if the SPIE
bit is set and the interrupt mask in the CCR
register is cleared.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the
SPIF bit is set
2. A read to the SPIDR register.
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg-
ister is read.
10.5.3.5 Slave Mode Operation
In slave mode, the serial clock is received on the
SCK pin from the master device.
To operate the SPI in slave mode:
1. Write to the SPICSR register to perform the fol-
lowing actions:
Select the clock polarity and clock phase by
configuring the CPOL and CPHA bits (see
Figure 58).
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL
and CPHA settings as the master.
Manage the SS pin as described in Section
10.5.3.2 and Figure 56. If CPHA=1 SS must
be held low continuously. If CPHA=0 SS must
be held low during byte transmission and
pulled up between each byte to let the slave
write in the shift register.
2. Write to the SPICR register to clear the MSTR
bit and set the SPE bit to enable the SPI I/O
functions.
10.5.3.6 Slave Mode Transmit Sequence
When software writes to the SPIDR register, the
data byte is loaded into the 8-bit shift register and
then shifted out serially to the MISO pin most sig-
nificant bit first.
The transmit sequence begins when the slave de-
vice receives the clock signal and the most signifi-
cant bit of the data on its MOSI pin.
When data transfer is complete:
The SPIF bit is set by hardware
An interrupt request is generated if SPIE bit is
set and interrupt mask in the CCR register is
cleared.
Clearing the SPIF bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SPICSR register while the
SPIF bit is set.
2. A write or a read to the SPIDR register.
Notes: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg-
ister is read.
The SPIF bit can be cleared during a second
transmission; however, it must be cleared before
the second SPIF bit in order to prevent an Overrun
condition (see Section 10.5.5.2).

10.5.4 Clock Phase and Clock Polarity
Four possible timing relationships may be chosen
by software, using the CPOL and CPHA bits (See
Figure 58).
Note: The idle state of SCK must correspond to
the polarity selected in the SPICSR register (by
pulling up SCK if CPOL=1 or pulling down SCK if
CPOL=0).
The combination of the CPOL clock polarity and
CPHA (clock phase) bits selects the data capture
clock edge
Figure 58, shows an SPI transfer with the four
combinations of the CPHA and CPOL bits. The di-
agram may be interpreted as a master or slave
timing diagram where the SCK pin, the MISO pin,
the MOSI pin are directly connected between the
master and the slave device.
Note: If CPOL is changed at the communication
byte boundaries, the SPI must be disabled by re-
setting the SPE bit.

10.5.5 Error Flags
10.5.5.1 Master Mode Fault (MODF)
Master mode fault occurs when the master device
has its SS pin pulled low.
When a Master mode fault occurs:
The MODF bit is set and an SPI interrupt re-
quest is generated if the SPIE bit is set.
The SPE bit is reset. This blocks all output
from the device and disables the SPI periph-
eral.
The MSTR bit is reset, thus forcing the device
into slave mode.
Clearing the MODF bit is done through a software
sequence:
1. A read access to the SPICSR register while the
MODF bit is set.
2. A write to the SPICR register.
Notes: To avoid any conflicts in an application
with multiple slaves, the SS pin must be pulled
high during the MODF bit clearing sequence. The
SPE and MSTR bits may be restored to their orig-
inal state during or after this clearing sequence.
Hardware does not allow the user to set the SPE
and MSTR bits while the MODF bit is set except in
the MODF bit clearing sequence.
10.5.5.2 Overrun Condition (OVR)
An overrun condition occurs, when the master de-
vice has sent a data byte and the slave device has
not cleared the SPIF bit issued from the previously
transmitted byte.
When an Overrun occurs:
The OVR bit is set and an interrupt request is
generated if the SPIE bit is set.
In this case, the receiver buffer contains the byte
sent after the SPIF bit was last cleared. A read to
the SPIDR register returns this byte. All other
bytes are lost.
The OVR bit is cleared by reading the SPICSR
register.
10.5.5.3 Write Collision Error (WCOL)
A write collision occurs when the software tries to
write to the SPIDR register while a data transfer is
taking place with an external device. When this
happens, the transfer continues uninterrupted;
and the software write will be unsuccessful.
Write collisions can occur both in master and slave
mode. See also Section 10.5.3.2 Slave Select
Management.
Note: a "read collision" will never occur since the
received data byte is placed in a buffer in which
access is always synchronous with the MCU oper-
ation.
The WCOL bit in the SPICSR register is set if a
write collision occurs.
No SPI interrupt is generated when the WCOL bit
is set (the WCOL bit is a status flag only).
Clearing the WCOL bit is done through a software
sequence (see Figure 59).

10.5.5.4 Single Master Systems
A typical single master system may be configured,
using an MCU as the master and four MCUs as
slaves (see Figure 60).
The master device selects the individual slave de-
vices by using four pins of a parallel port to control
the four SS pins of the slave devices.
The SS pins are pulled high during reset since the
master device ports will be forced to be inputs at
that time, thus disabling the slave devices.
Note: To prevent a bus conflict on the MISO line
the master allows only one active slave device
during a transmission.
For more security, the slave device may respond
to the master with the received data byte. Then the
master will receive the previous byte back from the
slave device if all MISO and MOSI pins are con-
nected and the slave has not written to its SPIDR
register.
Other transmission security methods can use
ports for handshake lines or data bytes with com-
mand fields.

10.5.6 Low Power Modes
10.5.6.1 Using the SPI to wakeup the MCU from
Halt mode
In slave configuration, the SPI is able to wakeup
the ST7 device from HALT mode through a SPIF
interrupt. The data received is subsequently read
from the SPIDR register when the software is run-
ning (interrupt vector fetch). If multiple data trans-
fers have been performed before software clears
the SPIF bit, then the OVR bit is set by hardware.
Note: When waking up from Halt mode, if the SPI
remains in Slave mode, it is recommended to per-
form an extra communications cycle to bring the
SPI from Halt mode state to normal state. If the
SPI exits from Slave mode, it returns to normal
state immediately.
Caution: The SPI can wake up the ST7 from Halt
mode only if the Slave Select signal (external SS
pin or the SSI bit in the SPICSR register) is low
when the ST7 enters Halt mode. So if Slave selec-
tion is configured as external (see Section
10.5.3.2), make sure the master drives a low level
on the SS pin when the slave enters Halt mode.
10.5.7 Interrupts
Note: The SPI interrupt events are connected to
the same interrupt vector (see Interrupts chapter).
They generate an interrupt if the corresponding
Enable Control Bit is set and the interrupt mask in
Mode Description
WAIT
No effect on SPI.
SPI interrupt events cause the device to exit
from WAIT mode.
HALT
SPI registers are frozen.
In HALT mode, the SPI is inactive. SPI oper-
ation resumes when the MCU is woken up by
an interrupt with “exit from HALT mode” ca-
pability. The data received is subsequently
read from the SPIDR register when the soft-
ware is running (interrupt vector fetching). If
several data are received before the wake-
up event, then an overrun error is generated.
This error can be detected after the fetch of
the interrupt routine that woke up the device.

Bit 6 = SPE Serial Peripheral Output Enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is also
cleared by hardware when, in master mode, SS=0
(see Section 10.5.5.1 Master Mode Fault
(MODF)). The SPE bit is cleared by reset, so the
SPI peripheral is not initially connected to the ex-
ternal pins.
0: I/O pins free for general purpose I/O
1: SPI I/O pin alternate functions enabled
Bit 5 = SPR2 Divider Enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software and is
cleared by reset. It is used with the SPR[1:0] bits to
set the baud rate. Refer to Table 19 SPI Master
mode SCK Frequency.
0: Divider by 2 enabled
1: Divider by 2 disabled
Note: This bit has no effect in slave mode.
Bit 4 = MSTR Master Mode.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is also
cleared by hardware when, in master mode, SS=0
(see Section 10.5.5.1 Master Mode Fault
(MODF)).
0: Slave mode
1: Master mode. The function of the SCK pin
changes from an input to an output and the func-
tions of the MISO and MOSI pins are reversed.
Bit 3 = CPOL Clock Polarity.
This bit is set and cleared by software. This bit de-
termines the idle state of the serial Clock. The
CPOL bit affects both the master and slave
modes.
0: SCK pin has a low level idle state
1: SCK pin has a high level idle state
Note: If CPOL is changed at the communication
byte boundaries, the SPI must be disabled by re-
setting the SPE bit.
Bit 2 = CPHA Clock Phase.
This bit is set and cleared by software.
0: The first clock transition is the first data capture
edge.
1: The second clock transition is the first capture
edge.
Note: The slave must have the same CPOL and
CPHA settings as the master.
Bits 1:0 = SPR[1:0] Serial Clock Frequency.
These bits are set and cleared by software. Used
with the SPR2 bit, they select the baud rate of the
SPI serial clock SCK output by the SPI in master
mode.
Note: These 2 bits have no effect in slave mode.

SPIE=1 in the SPICR register. It is cleared by a
software sequence (an access to the SPICSR
register followed by a write or a read to the
SPIDR register).
0: Data transfer is in progress or the flag has been
cleared.
1: Data transfer between the device and an exter-
nal device has been completed.
Note: While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the
SPIDR register are inhibited until the SPICSR reg-
ister is read.
Bit 6 = WCOL Write Collision status (Read only).
This bit is set by hardware when a write to the
SPIDR register is done during a transmit se-
quence. It is cleared by a software sequence (see
Figure 59).
0: No write collision occurred
1: A write collision has been detected
Bit 5 = OVR SPI Overrun error (Read only).
This bit is set by hardware when the byte currently
being received in the shift register is ready to be
transferred into the SPIDR register while SPIF = 1
(See Section 10.5.5.2). An interrupt is generated if
SPIE = 1 in SPICR register. The OVR bit is cleared
by software reading the SPICSR register.
0: No overrun error
1: Overrun error detected
Bit 4 = MODF Mode Fault flag (Read only).
This bit is set by hardware when the SS pin is
pulled low in master mode (see Section 10.5.5.1
Master Mode Fault (MODF)). An SPI interrupt can
be generated if SPIE=1 in the SPICSR register.
This bit is cleared by a software sequence (An ac-
cess to the SPICR register while MODF=1 fol-
lowed by a write to the SPICR register).
0: No master mode fault detected
1: A fault in master mode has been detected
Bit 3 = Reserved, must be kept cleared.
Bit 2 = SOD SPI Output Disable.
This bit is set and cleared by software. When set, it
disables the alternate function of the SPI output
(MOSI in master mode / MISO in slave mode)
0: SPI output enabled (if SPE=1)
1: SPI output disabled
Bit 1 = SSM SS Management.
This bit is set and cleared by software. When set, it
disables the alternate function of the SPI SS pin
and uses the SSI bit value instead. See Section
10.5.3.2 Slave Select Management.
0: Hardware management (SS managed by exter-
nal pin)
1: Software management (internal SS signal con-
trolled by SSI bit. External SS pin free for gener-

Bit 0 = SSI SS Internal Mode.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It acts as a
‘chip select’ by controlling the level of the SS slave
select signal when the SSM bit is set.

DATA I/O REGISTER (SPIDR)
Read/Write
Reset Value: Undefined
The SPIDR register is used to transmit and receive
data on the serial bus. In a master device, a write
to this register will initiate transmission/reception
of another byte.
Notes: During the last clock cycle the SPIF bit is
set, a copy of the received data byte in the shift
register is moved to a buffer. When the user reads
the serial peripheral data I/O register, the buffer is
actually being read.
While the SPIF bit is set, all writes to the SPIDR
register are inhibited until the SPICSR register is
read.
Warning: A write to the SPIDR register places
data directly into the shift register for transmission.
A read to the SPIDR register returns the value lo-
cated in the buffer and not the content of the shift
register (see Figure 54).

10.6.3 General Description
The interface is externally connected to another
device by two pins (see Figure 62):
TDO: Transmit Data Output. When the transmit-
ter and the receiver are disabled, the output pin
returns to its I/O port configuration. When the
transmitter and/or the receiver are enabled and
nothing is to be transmitted, the TDO pin is at
high level.
RDI: Receive Data Input is the serial data input.
Oversampling techniques are used for data re-
covery by discriminating between valid incoming
data and noise.
Through these pins, serial data is transmitted and
received as frames comprising:
An Idle Line prior to transmission or reception
A start bit
A data word (8 or 9 bits) least significant bit first
A Stop bit indicating that the frame is complete
This interface uses two types of baud rate generator:
A conventional type for commonly-used baud
rates
An extended type with a prescaler offering a very
wide range of baud rates even with non-standard
oscillator frequencies

10.6.4 Functional Description
The block diagram of the Serial Control Interface,
is shown in Figure 61 It contains six dedicated reg-
isters:
Two control registers (SCICR1 & SCICR2)
A status register (SCISR)
A baud rate register (SCIBRR)
An extended prescaler receiver register (SCIER-
PR)
An extended prescaler transmitter register (SCI-
ETPR)
Refer to the register descriptions in Section
10.6.7for the definitions of each bit.
10.6.4.1 Serial Data Format
Word length may be selected as being either 8 or 9
bits by programming the M bit in the SCICR1 reg-
ister (see Figure 61).
The TDO pin is in low state during the start bit.
The TDO pin is in high state during the stop bit.
An Idle character is interpreted as an entire frame
of “1”s followed by the start bit of the next frame
which contains data.
A Break character is interpreted on receiving “0”s
for some multiple of the frame period. At the end of
the last break frame the transmitter inserts an ex-
tra “1” bit to acknowledge the start bit.
Transmission and reception are driven by their
own baud rate generator.

10.6.4.2 Transmitter
The transmitter can send data words of either 8 or
9 bits depending on the M bit status. When the M
bit is set, word length is 9 bits and the 9th bit (the
MSB) has to be stored in the T8 bit in the SCICR1
register.
Character Transmission
During an SCI transmission, data shifts out least
significant bit first on the TDO pin. In this mode,
the SCIDR register consists of a buffer (TDR) be-
tween the internal bus and the transmit shift regis-
ter (see Figure 61).
Procedure
Select the M bit to define the word length.
Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR
and the SCIETPR registers.
Set the TE bit to assign the TDO pin to the alter-
nate function and to send a idle frame as first
transmission.
Access the SCISR register and write the data to
send in the SCIDR register (this sequence clears
the TDRE bit). Repeat this sequence for each
data to be transmitted.
Clearing the TDRE bit is always performed by the
following software sequence:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A write to the SCIDR register
The TDRE bit is set by hardware and it indicates:
The TDR register is empty.
The data transfer is beginning.
The next data can be written in the SCIDR regis-
ter without overwriting the previous data.
This flag generates an interrupt if the TIE bit is set
and the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
When a transmission is taking place, a write in-
struction to the SCIDR register stores the data in
the TDR register and which is copied in the shift
register at the end of the current transmission.
When no transmission is taking place, a write in-
struction to the SCIDR register places the data di-
rectly in the shift register, the data transmission
starts, and the TDRE bit is immediately set.
When a frame transmission is complete (after the
stop bit) the TC bit is set and an interrupt is gener-
ated if the TCIE is set and the I bit is cleared in the
CCR register.
Clearing the TC bit is performed by the following
software sequence:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A write to the SCIDR register
Note: The TDRE and TC bits are cleared by the
same software sequence.
Break Characters
Setting the SBK bit loads the shift register with a
break character. The break frame length depends
on the M bit (see Figure 62).
As long as the SBK bit is set, the SCI send break
frames to the TDO pin. After clearing this bit by
software the SCI insert a logic 1 bit at the end of
the last break frame to guarantee the recognition
of the start bit of the next frame.
Idle Characters
Setting the TE bit drives the SCI to send an idle
frame before the first data frame.
Clearing and then setting the TE bit during a trans-
mission sends an idle frame after the current word.
Note: Resetting and setting the TE bit causes the
data in the TDR register to be lost. Therefore the
best time to toggle the TE bit is when the TDRE bit
is set, that is, before writing the next byte in the
SCIDR.
103/187
SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (Cont’d)
10.6.4.3 Receiver
The SCI can receive data words of either 8 or 9
bits. When the M bit is set, word length is 9 bits
and the MSB is stored in the R8 bit in the SCICR1
register.
Character reception
During a SCI reception, data shifts in least signifi-
cant bit first through the RDI pin. In this mode, the
SCIDR register consists or a buffer (RDR) be-
tween the internal bus and the received shift regis-
ter (see Figure 61).
Procedure
Select the M bit to define the word length.
Select the desired baud rate using the SCIBRR
and the SCIERPR registers.
Set the RE bit, this enables the receiver which
begins searching for a start bit.
When a character is received:
The RDRF bit is set. It indicates that the content
of the shift register is transferred to the RDR.
An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
The error flags can be set if a frame error, noise
or an overrun error has been detected during re-
ception.
Clearing the RDRF bit is performed by the following
software sequence done by:
1. An access to the SCISR register
2. A read to the SCIDR register.
The RDRF bit must be cleared before the end of the
reception of the next character to avoid an overrun
error.
Break Character
When a break character is received, the SCI han-
dles it as a framing error.
Idle Character
When a idle frame is detected, there is the same
procedure as a data received character plus an in-
terrupt if the ILIE bit is set and the I bit is cleared in
the CCR register.
Overrun Error
An overrun error occurs when a character is re-
ceived when RDRF has not been reset. Data can
not be transferred from the shift register to the
RDR register as long as the RDRF bit is not
cleared.
When an overrun error occurs:
The OR bit is set.
The RDR content is not lost.
The shift register is overwritten.
An interrupt is generated if the RIE bit is set and
the I bit is cleared in the CCR register.
The OR bit is reset by an access to the SCISR reg-
ister followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
Noise Error
Oversampling techniques are used for data recov-
ery by discriminating between valid incoming data
and noise. Normal data bits are considered valid if
three consecutive samples (8th, 9th, 10th) have
the same bit value, otherwise the NF flag is set. In
the case of start bit detection, the NF flag is set on
the basis of an algorithm combining both valid
edge detection and three samples (8th, 9th, 10th).
Therefore, to prevent the NF flag getting set during
start bit reception, there should be a valid edge de-
tection as well as three valid samples.
When noise is detected in a frame:
The NF flag is set at the rising edge of the RDRF
bit.
Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
SCIDR register.
No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The NF flag is reset by a SCISR register read op-
eration followed by a SCIDR register read opera-
tion.
During reception, if a false start bit is detected (e.g.
8th, 9th, 10th samples are 011,101,110), the
frame is discarded and the receiving sequence is
not started for this frame. There is no RDRF bit set
for this frame and the NF flag is set internally (not
accessible to the user). This NF flag is accessible
along with the RDRF bit when a next valid frame is
received.
Note: If the application Start Bit is not long enough
to match the above requirements, then the NF
Flag may get set due to the short Start Bit. In this
case, the NF flag may be ignored by the applica-
tion software when the first valid byte is received.

Framing Error
A framing error is detected when:
The stop bit is not recognized on reception at the
expected time, following either a de-synchroni-
zation or excessive noise.
A break is received.
When the framing error is detected:
the FE bit is set by hardware
Data is transferred from the Shift register to the
SCIDR register.
No interrupt is generated. However this bit rises
at the same time as the RDRF bit which itself
generates an interrupt.
The FE bit is reset by a SCISR register read oper-
ation followed by a SCIDR register read operation.
10.6.4.4 Conventional Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate for the receiver and transmitter (Rx
and Tx) are set independently and calculated as
follows:
with:
PR = 1, 3, 4 or 13 (see SCP[1:0] bits)
TR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128
(see SCT[2:0] bits)
RR = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128
(see SCR[2:0] bits)
All these bits are in the SCIBRR register.
Example: If fCPU is 8 MHz (normal mode) and if
PR = 13 and TR = RR = 1, the transmit and re-
ceive baud rates are 38400 baud.
Note: The baud rate registers MUST NOT be
changed while the transmitter or the receiver is en-
abled.
10.6.4.5 Extended Baud Rate Generation
The extended prescaler option gives a very fine
tuning on the baud rate, using a 255 value prescal-
er, whereas the conventional Baud Rate Genera-
tor retains industry standard software compatibili-
ty.
The extended baud rate generator block diagram
is described in the Figure 63
The output clock rate sent to the transmitter or to
the receiver is the output from the 16 divider divid-
ed by a factor ranging from 1 to 255 set in the SCI-
ERPR or the SCIETPR register.
Note: the extended prescaler is activated by set-
ting the SCIETPR or SCIERPR register to a value
other than zero. The baud rates are calculated as
follows:
with:
ETPR = 1,..,255 (see SCIETPR register)
ERPR = 1,.. 255 (see SCIERPR register)
10.6.4.6 Receiver Muting and Wake-up Feature
In multiprocessor configurations it is often desira-
ble that only the intended message recipient
should actively receive the full message contents,
thus reducing redundant SCI service overhead for
all non addressed receivers.
The non addressed devices may be placed in
sleep mode by means of the muting function.
Setting the RWU bit by software puts the SCI in
sleep mode:
All the reception status bits can not be set.
All the receive interrupts are inhibited.
A muted receiver may be awakened by one of the
following two ways:
by Idle Line detection if the WAKE bit is reset,
by Address Mark detection if the WAKE bit is set.
Receiver wakes-up by Idle Line detection when
the Receive line has recognized an Idle Frame.
Then the RWU bit is reset by hardware but the
IDLE bit is not set.
Receiver wakes-up by Address Mark detection
when it received a “1” as the most significant bit of
a word, thus indicating that the message is an ad-
dress. The reception of this particular word wakes
up the receiver, resets the RWU bit and sets the
RDRF bit, which allows the receiver to receive this
word normally and to use it as an address word.
CAUTION: In Mute mode, do not write to the
SCICR2 register. If the SCI is in Mute mode during
the read operation (RWU = 1) and a address mark
wake up event occurs (RWU is reset) before the
write operation, the RWU bit is set again by this
write operation. Consequently the address byte is
lost and the SCI is not woken up from Mute mode.

10.6.4.7 Parity Control
Parity control (generation of parity bit in transmis-
sion and parity checking in reception) can be ena-
bled by setting the PCE bit in the SCICR1 register.
Depending on the frame length defined by the M
bit, the possible SCI frame formats are as listed in
Table 21.
Table 21. Frame Formats
Legend: SB = Start Bit, STB = Stop Bit,
PB = Parity Bit
Note: In case of wake up by an address mark, the
MSB bit of the data is taken into account and not
the parity bit
Even parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain
an even number of “1s” inside the frame made of
the 7 or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is
equal to 0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Example: data = 00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit
is 0 if even parity is selected (PS bit = 0).
Odd parity: the parity bit is calculated to obtain an
odd number of “1s” inside the frame made of the 7
or 8 LSB bits (depending on whether M is equal to
0 or 1) and the parity bit.
Example: data = 00110101; 4 bits set => parity bit
is 1 if odd parity is selected (PS bit = 1).
Transmission mode: If the PCE bit is set then the
MSB bit of the data written in the data register is
not transmitted but is changed by the parity bit.
Reception mode: If the PCE bit is set then the in-
terface checks if the received data byte has an
even number of “1s” if even parity is selected
(PS = 0) or an odd number of “1s” if odd parity is
selected (PS = 1). If the parity check fails, the PE
flag is set in the SCISR register and an interrupt is
generated if PIE is set in the SCICR1 register.
10.6.4.8 SCI Clock Tolerance
During reception, each bit is sampled 16 times.
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is
considered as the bit value. For a valid bit detec-
tion, all the three samples should have the same
value otherwise the noise flag (NF) is set. For ex-
ample: If the 8th, 9th and 10th samples are 0, 1
and 1 respectively, then the bit value is “1”, but the
Noise Flag bit is set because the three samples
values are not the same.
Consequently, the bit length must be long enough
so that the 8th, 9th and 10th samples have the de-
sired bit value. This means the clock frequency
should not vary more than 6/16 (37.5%) within one
bit. The sampling clock is resynchronized at each
start bit, so that when receiving 10 bits (one start
bit, 1 data byte, 1 stop bit), the clock deviation
must not exceed 3.75%.
Note: The internal sampling clock of the microcon-
troller samples the pin value on every falling edge.
Therefore, the internal sampling clock and the time
the application expects the sampling to take place
may be out of sync. For example: If the baud rate
is 15.625 Kbaud (bit length is 64µs), then the 8th,
9th and 10th samples are at 28µs, 32µs and 36µs
respectively (the first sample starting ideally at
0µs). But if the falling edge of the internal clock oc-
curs just before the pin value changes, the sam-
ples would then be out of sync by ~4us. This
means the entire bit length must be at least 40µs
(36µs for the 10th sample + 4µs for synchroniza-
tion with the internal sampling clock).

10.6.4.9 Clock Deviation Causes
The causes which contribute to the total deviation
are:
–D
TRA: Deviation due to transmitter error (Local
oscillator error of the transmitter or the trans-
mitter is transmitting at a different baud rate).
–D
QUANT: Error due to the baud rate quantiza-
tion of the receiver.
–D
REC: Deviation of the local oscillator of the
receiver: This deviation can occur during the
reception of one complete SCI message as-
suming that the deviation has been compen-
sated at the beginning of the message.
–D
TCL: Deviation due to the transmission line
(generally due to the transceivers)
All the deviations of the system should be added
and compared to the SCI clock tolerance:
DTRA + DQUANT + DREC + DTCL < 3.75%
10.6.4.10 Noise Error Causes
See also description of Noise error in Section
10.6.4.3.
Start bit
The noise flag (NF) is set during start bit reception
if one of the following conditions occurs:
1. A valid falling edge is not detected. A falling
edge is considered to be valid if the 3 consecu-
tive samples before the falling edge occurs are
detected as '1' and, after the falling edge
occurs, during the sampling of the 16 samples,
if one of the samples numbered 3, 5 or 7 is
detected as a “1”.
2. During sampling of the 16 samples, if one of the
samples numbered 8, 9 or 10 is detected as a
“1”.
Therefore, a valid Start Bit must satisfy both the
above conditions to prevent the Noise Flag getting
set.
Data Bits
The noise flag (NF) is set during normal data bit re-
ception if the following condition occurs:
During the sampling of 16 samples, if all three
samples numbered 8, 9 and10 are not the same.
The majority of the 8th, 9th and 10th samples is
considered as the bit value.
Therefore, a valid Data Bit must have samples 8, 9
and 10 at the same value to prevent the Noise
Flag getting set.

by a read to the SCIDR register).
0: No Idle Line is detected
1: Idle Line is detected
Note: The IDLE bit is not set again until the RDRF
bit has been set itself (that is, a new idle line oc-
curs).
Bit 3 = OR Overrun error.
This bit is set by hardware when the word currently
being received in the shift register is ready to be
transferred into the RDR register while RDRF = 1.
An interrupt is generated if RIE = 1 in the SCICR2
register. It is cleared by a software sequence (an
access to the SCISR register followed by a read to
the SCIDR register).

1: Overrun error is detected
Note: When this bit is set RDR register content is
not lost but the shift register is overwritten.
Bit 2 = NF Noise flag.

on a received frame. It is cleared by a software se-
quence (an access to the SCISR register followed
by a read to the SCIDR register).

1: Noise is detected
Note: This bit does not generate interrupt as it ap-
pears at the same time as the RDRF bit which it-
self generates an interrupt.
Bit 1 = FE Framing error.
This bit is set by hardware when a de-synchroniza-
tion, excessive noise or a break character is de-
tected. It is cleared by a software sequence (an
access to the SCISR register followed by a read to
the SCIDR register).

1: Framing error or break character is detected
Note: This bit does not generate interrupt as it ap-
pears at the same time as the RDRF bit which it-
self generates an interrupt. If the word currently
being transferred causes both frame error and
overrun error, it will be transferred and only the OR
bit will be set.
Bit 0 = PE Parity error.
This bit is set by hardware when a parity error oc-
curs in receiver mode. It is cleared by a software

10.7 I2C BUS INTERFACE (I2C)
10.7.1 Introduction
The I2C Bus Interface serves as an interface be-
tween the microcontroller and the serial I2C bus. It
provides both multimaster and slave functions,
and controls all I2C bus-specific sequencing, pro-
tocol, arbitration and timing. It supports fast I2C
mode (400kHz).

10.7.3 General Description
In addition to receiving and transmitting data, this
interface converts it from serial to parallel format
and vice versa, using either an interrupt or polled
handshake. The interrupts are enabled or disabled
by software. The interface is connected to the I2C
bus by a data pin (SDAI) and by a clock pin (SCLI).
It can be connected both with a standard I2C bus
and a Fast I2C bus. This selection is made by soft-
ware.
Mode Selection
The interface can operate in the four following
modes:
Slave transmitter/receiver
Master transmitter/receiver
By default, it operates in slave mode.
The interface automatically switches from slave to
master after it generates a START condition and
from master to slave in case of arbitration loss or a
STOP generation, allowing then Multi-Master ca-
pability.
Communication Flow
In Master mode, it initiates a data transfer and
generates the clock signal. A serial data transfer
always begins with a start condition and ends with
a stop condition. Both start and stop conditions are
generated in master mode by software.
In Slave mode, the interface is capable of recog-
nising its own address (7 or 10-bit), and the Gen-
eral Call address. The General Call address de-
tection may be enabled or disabled by software.
Data and addresses are transferred as 8-bit bytes,
MSB first. The first byte(s) following the start con-
dition contain the address (one in 7-bit mode, two
in 10-bit mode). The address is always transmitted
in Master mode.
A 9th clock pulse follows the 8 clock cycles of a
byte transfer, during which the receiver must send
an acknowledge bit to the transmitter. Refer to Fig-
ure 65.

I2C BUS INTERFACE (Cont’d)
Acknowledge may be enabled and disabled by
software.
The I2C interface address and/or general call ad-
dress can be selected by software.
The speed of the I2C interface may be selected
between Standard (up to 100KHz) and Fast I2C
(up to 400KHz).
SDA/SCL Line Control
Transmitter mode: the interface holds the clock
line low before transmission to wait for the micro-
controller to write the byte in the Data Register.
Receiver mode: the interface holds the clock line
low after reception to wait for the microcontroller to
read the byte in the Data Register.
The SCL frequency (Fscl) is controlled by a pro-
grammable clock divider which depends on the
I2C bus mode.
When the I2C cell is enabled, the SDA and SCL
ports must be configured as floating inputs. In this
case, the value of the external pull-up resistor
used depends on the application.
When the I2C cell is disabled, the SDA and SCL
ports revert to being standard I/O port pins.

10.7.4 Functional Description
Refer to the CR, SR1 and SR2 registers in Section
10.7.7. for the bit definitions.
By default the I2C interface operates in Slave
mode (M/SL bit is cleared) except when it initiates
a transmit or receive sequence.
First the interface frequency must be configured
using the FRi bits in the OAR2 register.
10.7.4.1 Slave Mode
As soon as a start condition is detected, the
address is received from the SDA line and sent to
the shift register; then it is compared with the
address of the interface or the General Call
address (if selected by software).
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, the comparison
includes the header sequence (11110xx0) and the
two most significant bits of the address.
Header matched (10-bit mode only): the interface
generates an acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is
set.
Address not matched: the interface ignores it
and waits for another Start condition.
Address matched: the interface generates in se-
quence:
Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set.
EVF and ADSL bits are set with an interrupt if the
ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 reg-
ister, holding the SCL line low (see Figure 67
Transfer sequencing EV1).
Next, in 7-bit mode read the DR register to deter-
mine from the least significant bit (Data Direction
Bit) if the slave must enter Receiver or Transmitter
mode.
In 10-bit mode, after receiving the address se-
quence the slave is always in receive mode. It will
enter transmit mode on receiving a repeated Start
condition followed by the header sequence with
matching address bits and the least significant bit
set (11110xx1).
Slave Receiver
Following the address reception and after SR1
register has been read, the slave receives bytes
from the SDA line into the DR register via the inter-
nal shift register. After each byte the interface gen-
erates in sequence:
Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
EVF and BTF bits are set with an interrupt if the
ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 reg-
ister followed by a read of the DR register, holding
the SCL line low (see Figure 67 Transfer se-
quencing EV2).
Slave Transmitter
Following the address reception and after SR1
register has been read, the slave sends bytes from
the DR register to the SDA line via the internal shift
register.
The slave waits for a read of the SR1 register fol-
lowed by a write in the DR register, holding the
SCL line low (see Figure 67 Transfer sequencing
EV3).
When the acknowledge pulse is received:
The EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Closing slave communication
After the last data byte is transferred a Stop Con-
dition is generated by the master. The interface
detects this condition and sets:
EVF and STOPF bits with an interrupt if the ITE
bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR2 reg-
ister (see Figure 67 Transfer sequencing EV4).
Error Cases
BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition
during a byte transfer. In this case, the EVF and
the BERR bits are set with an interrupt if the ITE
bit is set.
If it is a Stop then the interface discards the data,
released the lines and waits for another Start
condition.
If it is a Start then the interface discards the data
and waits for the next slave address on the bus.
AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this
case, the EVF and AF bits are set with an inter-
rupt if the ITE bit is set.
The AF bit is cleared by reading the I2CSR2 reg-
ister. However, if read before the completion of
the transmission, the AF flag will be set again,
thus possibly generating a new interrupt. Soft-
ware must ensure either that the SCL line is back
at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be able
to correctly handle a second interrupt during the
9th pulse of a transmitted byte.
Note: In case of errors, SCL line is not held low;
however, the SDA line can remain low if the last
bits transmitted are all 0. While AF=1, the SCL line
may be held low due to SB or BTF flags that are
set at the same time. It is then necessary to re-
lease both lines by software.
118/187
I2C INTERFACE (Cont’d)
How to release the SDA / SCL lines
Set and subsequently clear the STOP bit while
BTF is set. The SDA/SCL lines are released after
the transfer of the current byte.
SMBus Compatibility
ST7 I2C is compatible with SMBus V1.1 protocol. It
supports all SMBus adressing modes, SMBus bus
protocols and CRC-8 packet error checking. Refer
to AN1713: SMBus Slave Driver For ST7 I2C Pe-
ripheral.
10.7.4.2 Master Mode
To switch from default Slave mode to Master
mode a Start condition generation is needed.
Start condition
Setting the START bit while the BUSY bit is
cleared causes the interface to switch to Master
mode (M/SL bit set) and generates a Start condi-
tion.
Once the Start condition is sent:
The EVF and SB bits are set by hardware with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-
ter followed by a write in the DR register with the
Slave address, holding the SCL line low (see
Figure 67 Transfer sequencing EV5).
Slave address transmission
Then the slave address is sent to the SDA line via
the internal shift register.
In 7-bit addressing mode, one address byte is
sent.
In 10-bit addressing mode, sending the first byte
including the header sequence causes the follow-
ing event:
The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt
generation if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-
ter followed by a write in the DR register, holding
the SCL line low (see Figure 67 Transfer se-
quencing EV9).
Then the second address byte is sent by the inter-
face.
After completion of this transfer (and acknowledge
from the slave if the ACK bit is set):
The EVF bit is set by hardware with interrupt
generation if the ITE bit is set.
Then the master waits for a read of the SR1 regis-
ter followed by a write in the CR register (for exam-
ple set PE bit), holding the SCL line low (see Fig-
ure 67 Transfer sequencing EV6).
Next the master must enter Receiver or Transmit-
ter mode.
Note: In 10-bit addressing mode, to switch the
master to Receiver mode, software must generate
a repeated Start condition and resend the header
sequence with the least significant bit set
(11110xx1).
Master Receiver
Following the address transmission and after SR1
and CR registers have been accessed, the master
receives bytes from the SDA line into the DR reg-
ister via the internal shift register. After each byte
the interface generates in sequence:
Acknowledge pulse if the ACK bit is set
EVF and BTF bits are set by hardware with an in-
terrupt if the ITE bit is set.
Then the interface waits for a read of the SR1 reg-
ister followed by a read of the DR register, holding
the SCL line low (see Figure 67 Transfer se-
quencing EV7).
To close the communication: before reading the
last byte from the DR register, set the STOP bit to
generate the Stop condition. The interface goes
automatically back to slave mode (M/SL bit
cleared).
Note: In order to generate the non-acknowledge
pulse after the last received data byte, the ACK bit
must be cleared just before reading the second
last data byte.
119/187
I2C BUS INTERFACE (Cont’d)
Master Transmitter
Following the address transmission and after SR1
register has been read, the master sends bytes
from the DR register to the SDA line via the inter-
nal shift register.
The master waits for a read of the SR1 register fol-
lowed by a write in the DR register, holding the
SCL line low (see Figure 67 Transfer sequencing
EV8).
When the acknowledge bit is received, the
interface sets:
EVF and BTF bits with an interrupt if the ITE bit
is set.
To close the communication: after writing the last
byte to the DR register, set the STOP bit to gener-
ate the Stop condition. The interface goes auto-
matically back to slave mode (M/SL bit cleared).
Error Cases
BERR: Detection of a Stop or a Start condition
during a byte transfer. In this case, the EVF and
BERR bits are set by hardware with an interrupt
if ITE is set.
Note that BERR will not be set if an error is de-
tected during the first or second pulse of each 9-
bit transaction:
Single Master Mode
If a Start or Stop is issued during the first or sec-
ond pulse of a 9-bit transaction, the BERR flag
will not be set and transfer will continue however
the BUSY flag will be reset. To work around this,
slave devices should issue a NACK when they
receive a misplaced Start or Stop. The reception
of a NACK or BUSY by the master in the middle
of communication gives the possibility to reiniti-
ate transmission.
Multimaster Mode
Normally the BERR bit would be set whenever
unauthorized transmission takes place while
transfer is already in progress. However, an is-
sue will arise if an external master generates an
unauthorized Start or Stop while the I2C master
is on the first or second pulse of a 9-bit transac-
tion. It is possible to work around this by polling
the BUSY bit during I2C master mode transmis-
sion. The resetting of the BUSY bit can then be
handled in a similar manner as the BERR flag
being set.
AF: Detection of a non-acknowledge bit. In this
case, the EVF and AF bits are set by hardware
with an interrupt if the ITE bit is set. To resume,
set the Start or Stop bit.
The AF bit is cleared by reading the I2CSR2 reg-
ister. However, if read before the completion of
the transmission, the AF flag will be set again,
thus possibly generating a new interrupt. Soft-
ware must ensure either that the SCL line is back
at 0 before reading the SR2 register, or be able
to correctly handle a second interrupt during the
9th pulse of a transmitted byte.
ARLO: Detection of an arbitration lost condition.
In this case the ARLO bit is set by hardware (with
an interrupt if the ITE bit is set and the interface
goes automatically back to slave mode (the M/SL
bit is cleared).
Note: In all these cases, the SCL line is not held
low; however, the SDA line can remain low due to
possible «0» bits transmitted last. It is then neces-
sary to release both lines by software.

Notes:
When PE=0, all the bits of the CR register and
the SR register except the Stop bit are reset. All
outputs are released while PE=0
When PE=1, the corresponding I/O pins are se-
lected by hardware as alternate functions.
To enable the I2C interface, write the CR register
TWICE with PE=1 as the first write only activates
the interface (only PE is set).
Bit 4 = ENGC Enable General Call.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is also
cleared by hardware when the interface is disa-
bled (PE=0). The 00h General Call address is ac-
knowledged (01h ignored).

GCAL addressing is enabled, an I2C slave can
only receive data. It will not transmit data to the
master.
Bit 3 = START Generation of a Start condition.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is also
cleared by hardware when the interface is disa-
bled (PE=0) or when the Start condition is sent
(with interrupt generation if ITE=1).
In master mode:
0: No start generation
1: Repeated start generation
In slave mode:
0: No start generation
1: Start generation when the bus is free
Bit 2 = ACK Acknowledge enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is also
cleared by hardware when the interface is disa-
bled (PE=0).
0: No acknowledge returned
1: Acknowledge returned after an address byte or
a data byte is received
Bit 1 = STOP Generation of a Stop condition.
This bit is set and cleared by software. It is also
cleared by hardware in master mode. Note: This
bit is not cleared when the interface is disabled
(PE=0).
In master mode:
0: No stop generation
1: Stop generation after the current byte transfer
or after the current Start condition is sent. The
STOP bit is cleared by hardware when the Stop
condition is sent.
In slave mode:
0: No stop generation
1: Release the SCL and SDA lines after the cur-
rent byte transfer (BTF=1). In this mode the
STOP bit has to be cleared by software.
Bit 0 = ITE Interrupt enable.
This bit is set and cleared by software and cleared
by hardware when the interface is disabled
(PE=0).
0: Interrupts disabled
1: Interrupts enabled
Refer to Figure 68 for the relationship between the
events and the interrupt.
SCL is held low when the ADD10, SB, BTF or
ADSL flags or an EV6 event (See Figure 67) is de-
tected.

in case of error event or as described in Figure 67.
It is also cleared by hardware when the interface is
disabled (PE=0).

condition detected)
ADD10=1 (Master has sent header byte)
Address byte successfully transmitted in Mas-
ter mode.
Bit 6 = ADD10 10-bit addressing in Master mode.
This bit is set by hardware when the master has
sent the first byte in 10-bit address mode. It is
cleared by software reading SR2 register followed
by a write in the DR register of the second address
byte. It is also cleared by hardware when the pe-
ripheral is disabled (PE=0).
0: No ADD10 event occurred.
1: Master has sent first address byte (header)
Bit 5 = TRA Transmitter/Receiver.
When BTF is set, TRA=1 if a data byte has been
transmitted. It is cleared automatically when BTF
is cleared. It is also cleared by hardware after de-
tection of Stop condition (STOPF=1), loss of bus
arbitration (ARLO=1) or when the interface is disa-
bled (PE=0).
0: Data byte received (if BTF=1)
1: Data byte transmitted
Bit 4 = BUSY Bus busy.
This bit is set by hardware on detection of a Start
condition and cleared by hardware on detection of
a Stop condition. It indicates a communication in
progress on the bus. The BUSY flag of the I2CSR1
register is cleared if a Bus Error occurs.
0: No communication on the bus
1: Communication ongoing on the bus
Note:
The BUSY flag is NOT updated when the inter-
face is disabled (PE=0). This can have conse-
quences when operating in Multimaster mode;
i.e. a second active I2C master commencing a
transfer with an unset BUSY bit can cause a con-
flict resulting in lost data. A software workaround
consists of checking that the I2C is not busy be-
fore enabling the I2C Multimaster cell.
Bit 3 = BTF Byte transfer finished.
This bit is set by hardware as soon as a byte is cor-
rectly received or transmitted with interrupt gener-
ation if ITE=1. It is cleared by software reading
SR1 register followed by a read or write of DR reg-
ister. It is also cleared by hardware when the inter-
face is disabled (PE=0).
Following a byte transmission, this bit is set after
reception of the acknowledge clock pulse. In
case an address byte is sent, this bit is set only
after the EV6 event (See Figure 67). BTF is
cleared by reading SR1 register followed by writ-
ing the next byte in DR register.
Following a byte reception, this bit is set after
transmission of the acknowledge clock pulse if
ACK=1. BTF is cleared by reading SR1 register
followed by reading the byte from DR register.
The SCL line is held low while BTF=1.
0: Byte transfer not done
1: Byte transfer succeeded
Bit 2 = ADSL Address matched (Slave mode).
This bit is set by hardware as soon as the received
slave address matched with the OAR register con-
tent or a general call is recognized. An interrupt is
generated if ITE=1. It is cleared by software read-
ing SR1 register or by hardware when the inter-
face is disabled (PE=0).
The SCL line is held low while ADSL=1.

Bit 4 = AF Acknowledge failure.
This bit is set by hardware when no acknowledge
is returned. An interrupt is generated if ITE=1. It is
cleared by software reading SR2 register or by
hardware when the interface is disabled (PE=0).
The SCL line is not held low while AF=1 but by oth-
er flags (SB or BTF) that are set at the same time.
0: No acknowledge failure
1: Acknowledge failure
Note:
When an AF event occurs, the SCL line is not
held low; however, the SDA line can remain low
if the last bits transmitted are all 0. It is then nec-
essary to release both lines by software.
Bit 3 = STOPF Stop detection (Slave mode).
This bit is set by hardware when a Stop condition
is detected on the bus after an acknowledge (if
ACK=1). An interrupt is generated if ITE=1. It is
cleared by software reading SR2 register or by
hardware when the interface is disabled (PE=0).
The SCL line is not held low while STOPF=1.
0: No Stop condition detected
1: Stop condition detected
Bit 2 = ARLO Arbitration lost.
This bit is set by hardware when the interface los-
es the arbitration of the bus to another master. An
interrupt is generated if ITE=1. It is cleared by soft-
ware reading SR2 register or by hardware when
the interface is disabled (PE=0).
After an ARLO event the interface switches back
automatically to Slave mode (M/SL=0).
The SCL line is not held low while ARLO=1.
0: No arbitration lost detected
1: Arbitration lost detected
Note:
In a Multimaster environment, when the interface
is configured in Master Receive mode it does not
perform arbitration during the reception of the
Acknowledge Bit. Mishandling of the ARLO bit
from the I2CSR2 register may occur when a sec-
ond master simultaneously requests the same
data from the same slave and the I2C master
does not acknowledge the data. The ARLO bit is
then left at 0 instead of being set.
Bit 1 = BERR Bus error.
This bit is set by hardware when the interface de-
tects a misplaced Start or Stop condition. An inter-
rupt is generated if ITE=1. It is cleared by software
reading SR2 register or by hardware when the in-
terface is disabled (PE=0).
The SCL line is not held low while BERR=1.
0: No misplaced Start or Stop condition
1: Misplaced Start or Stop condition
Note:
If a Bus Error occurs, a Stop or a repeated Start
condition should be generated by the Master to
re-synchronize communication, get the transmis-
sion acknowledged and the bus released for fur-
ther communication
Bit 0 = GCAL General Call (Slave mode).
This bit is set by hardware when a general call ad-
dress is detected on the bus while ENGC=1. It is
cleared by hardware detecting a Stop condition
(STOPF=1) or when the interface is disabled
(PE=0).
0: No general call address detected on bus

10.8 10-BIT A/D CONVERTER (ADC)
10.8.1 Introduction
The on-chip Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) pe-
ripheral is a 10-bit, successive approximation con-
verter with internal sample and hold circuitry. This
peripheral has up to 16 multiplexed analog input
channels (refer to device pin out description) that
allow the peripheral to convert the analog voltage
levels from up to 16 different sources.
The result of the conversion is stored in a 10-bit
Data Register. The A/D converter is controlled
through a Control/Status Register.
10.8.2 Main Features
10-bit conversion
Up to 16 channels with multiplexed input
Linear successive approximation
Data register (DR) which contains the results

10.8.3 Functional Description
The conversion is monotonic, meaning that the re-
sult never decreases if the analog input does not
and never increases if the analog input does not.
If the input voltage (VAIN) is greater than VAREF
(high-level voltage reference) then the conversion
result is FFh in the ADCDRH register and 03h in
the ADCDRL register (without overflow indication).
If the input voltage (VAIN) is lower than VSSA (low-
level voltage reference) then the conversion result
in the ADCDRH and ADCDRL registers is 00 00h.
The A/D converter is linear and the digital result of
the conversion is stored in the ADCDRH and AD-
CDRL registers. The accuracy of the conversion is
described in the Electrical Characteristics Section.
RAIN is the maximum recommended impedance
for an analog input signal. If the impedance is too
high, this will result in a loss of accuracy due to
leakage and sampling not being completed in the
alloted time.
10.8.3.1 A/D Converter Configuration
The analog input ports must be configured as in-
put, no pull-up, no interrupt. Refer to the «I/O
ports» chapter. Using these pins as analog inputs
does not affect the ability of the port to be read as
a logic input.
In the ADCCSR register:
Select the CS[3:0] bits to assign the analog
channel to convert.
10.8.3.2 Starting the Conversion
In the ADCCSR register:
Set the ADON bit to enable the A/D converter
and to start the conversion. From this time on,
the ADC performs a continuous conversion of
the selected channel.
When a conversion is complete:
The EOC bit is set by hardware.
The result is in the ADCDR registers.
A read to the ADCDRH resets the EOC bit.
To read the 10 bits, perform the following steps:
1. Poll the EOC bit
2. Read the ADCDRL register
3. Read the ADCDRH register. This clears EOC
automatically.
Note: The data is not latched, so both the low and
the high data register must be read before the next
conversion is complete, so it is recommended to
disable interrupts while reading the conversion re-
sult.
To read only 8 bits, perform the following steps:
1. Poll the EOC bit
2. Read the ADCDRH register. This clears EOC
automatically.
10.8.3.3 Changing the conversion channel
The application can change channels during con-
version. When software modifies the CH[3:0] bits
in the ADCCSR register, the current conversion is
stopped, the EOC bit is cleared, and the A/D con-
verter starts converting the newly selected chan-
nel.
10.8.4 Low Power Modes
Note: The A/D converter may be disabled by re-
setting the ADON bit. This feature allows reduced
power consumption when no conversion is need-
ed and between single shot conversions.
10.8.5 Interrupts
None.
Mode Description
WAIT No effect on A/D Converter
HALT
A/D Converter disabled.
After wakeup from Halt mode, the A/D
Converter requires a stabilization time

11 INSTRUCTION SET
11.1 CPU ADDRESSING MODES
The CPU features 17 different addressing modes
which can be classified in seven main groups:
The CPU Instruction set is designed to minimize
the number of bytes required per instruction: To do
so, most of the addressing modes may be subdi-
vided in two submodes called long and short:
Long addressing mode is more powerful be-
cause it can use the full 64 Kbyte address space,
however it uses more bytes and more CPU cy-
cles.
Short addressing mode is less powerful because
it can generally only access page zero (0000h -
00FFh range), but the instruction size is more
compact, and faster. All memory to memory in-
structions use short addressing modes only
(CLR, CPL, NEG, BSET, BRES, BTJT, BTJF,
INC, DEC, RLC, RRC, SLL, SRL, SRA, SWAP)
The ST7 Assembler optimizes the use of long and
short addressing modes.

INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW (Cont’d)
11.1.1 Inherent
All Inherent instructions consist of a single byte.
The opcode fully specifies all the required informa-
tion for the CPU to process the operation.
11.1.2 Immediate
Immediate instructions have 2 bytes, the first byte
contains the opcode, the second byte contains the
operand value.
11.1.3 Direct
In Direct instructions, the operands are referenced
by their memory address.
The direct addressing mode consists of two sub-
modes:
Direct (short)
The address is a byte, thus requires only one byte
after the opcode, but only allows 00 - FF address-
ing space.
Direct (long)
The address is a word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte ad-
dressing space, but requires 2 bytes after the op-
code.
11.1.4 Indexed (No Offset, Short, Long)
In this mode, the operand is referenced by its
memory address, which is defined by the unsigned
addition of an index register (X or Y) with an offset.
The indirect addressing mode consists of three
submodes:
Indexed (No Offset)
There is no offset, (no extra byte after the opcode),
and allows 00 - FF addressing space.
Indexed (Short)
The offset is a byte, thus requires only one byte af-
ter the opcode and allows 00 - 1FE addressing
space.
Indexed (long)
The offset is a word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte ad-
dressing space and requires 2 bytes after the op-
code.
11.1.5 Indirect (Short, Long)
The required data byte to do the operation is found
by its memory address, located in memory (point-
er).
The pointer address follows the opcode. The indi-
rect addressing mode consists of two submodes:
Indirect (short)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
byte, thus allowing 00 - FF addressing space, and
requires 1 byte after the opcode.
Indirect (long)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte addressing space,
and requires 1 byte after the opcode.

INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW (Cont’d)
11.1.6 Indirect Indexed (Short, Long)
This is a combination of indirect and short indexed
addressing modes. The operand is referenced by
its memory address, which is defined by the un-
signed addition of an index register value (X or Y)
with a pointer value located in memory. The point-
er address follows the opcode.
The indirect indexed addressing mode consists of
two submodes:
Indirect Indexed (Short)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
byte, thus allowing 00 - 1FE addressing space,
and requires 1 byte after the opcode.
Indirect Indexed (Long)
The pointer address is a byte, the pointer size is a
word, thus allowing 64 Kbyte addressing space,
and requires 1 byte after the opcode.

Addressing Modes
11.1.7 Relative mode (Direct, Indirect)
This addressing mode is used to modify the PC
register value, by adding an 8-bit signed offset to
it.
The relative addressing mode consists of two sub-
modes:
Relative (Direct)
The offset is following the opcode.
Relative (Indirect)
The offset is defined in memory, which address
follows the opcode.

INSTRUCTION SET OVERVIEW (Cont’d)
11.2 INSTRUCTION GROUPS
The ST7 family devices use an Instruction Set
consisting of 63 instructions. The instructions may be subdivided into 13 main groups as illustrated in
the following table:
Using a prebyte
The instructions are described with one to four op-
codes.
In order to extend the number of available op-
codes for an 8-bit CPU (256 opcodes), three differ-
ent prebyte opcodes are defined. These prebytes
modify the meaning of the instruction they pre-
cede.
The whole instruction becomes:
PC-2 End of previous instruction
PC-1 Prebyte
PC Opcode
PC+1 Additional word (0 to 2) according
to the number of bytes required to compute the ef-
fective address
These prebytes enable instruction in Y as well as
indirect addressing modes to be implemented.
They precede the opcode of the instruction in X or
the instruction using direct addressing mode. The
prebytes are:
PDY 90 Replace an X based instruction
using immediate, direct, indexed, or inherent ad-
dressing mode by a Y one.
PIX 92 Replace an instruction using di-
rect, direct bit, or direct relative addressing mode
to an instruction using the corresponding indirect
addressing mode.
It also changes an instruction using X indexed ad-
dressing mode to an instruction using indirect X in-
dexed addressing mode.
PIY 91 Replace an instruction using X in-
direct indexed addressing mode by a Y one.

12 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
12.1 PARAMETER CONDITIONS
Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are re-
ferred to VSS.
12.1.1 Minimum and Maximum values
Unless otherwise specified the minimum and max-
imum values are guaranteed in the worst condi-
tions of ambient temperature, supply voltage and
frequencies by tests in production on 100% of the
devices with an ambient temperature at TA=25°C
and TA=TAmax (given by the selected temperature
range).
Data based on characterization results, design
simulation and/or technology characteristics are
indicated in the table footnotes and are not tested
in production. Based on characterization, the min-
imum and maximum values refer to sample tests
and represent the mean value plus or minus three
times the standard deviation (mean±3Σ).
12.1.2 Typical values
Unless otherwise specified, typical data are based
on TA=25°C, VDD=5V.They are given only as de-
sign guidelines and are not tested.
12.1.3 Typical curves
Unless otherwise specified, all typical curves are
given only as design guidelines and are not tested.

measurement are shown in Figure 70.

12.2 ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses above those listed as “absolute maxi-
mum ratings” may cause permanent damage to
the device. This is a stress rating only and func-
tional operation of the device under these condi-
tions is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device
reliability.
12.2.1 Voltage Characteristics
12.2.2 Current Characteristics
Notes:
1. Directly connecting the RESET and I/O pins to VDD or VSS could damage the device if an unintentional internal reset
is generated or an unexpected change of the I/O configuration occurs (for example, due to a corrupted program counter).
To guarantee safe operation, this connection has to be done through a pull-up or pull-down resistor (typical: 4.7k for
RESET, 10k for I/Os). For the same reason, unused I/O pins must not be directly tied to VDD or VSS.
2. IINJ(PIN) must never be exceeded. This is implicitly insured if VIN maximum is respected. If VIN maximum cannot be
respected, the injection current must be limited externally to the IINJ(PIN) value. A positive injection is induced by VIN>VDD
while a negative injection is induced by VIN<VSS. For true open-drain pads, there is no positive injection current, and the
corresponding VIN maximum must always be respected
3. All power (VDD) and ground (VSS) lines must always be connected to the external supply.
4. Negative injection disturbs the analog performance of the device. See note in “ADC Accuracy” on page 169.
For best reliability, it is recommended to avoid negative injection of more than 1.6mA.
5. When several inputs are submitted to a current injection, the maximum ΣIINJ(PIN) is the absolute sum of the positive
and negative injected currents (instantaneous values). These results are based on characterisation with ΣIINJ(PIN) maxi-
mum current injection on four I/O port pins of the device.
6. True open drain I/O port pins do not accept positive injection.

12.4 SUPPLY CURRENT CHARACTERISTICS
The following current consumption specified for the ST7 functional operating modes over temperature
range does not take into account the clock source current consumption. To get the total device consump-
tion, the two current values must be added (except for HALT mode for which the clock is stopped).
12.4.1 CURRENT CONSUMPTION
Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results, tested in production at VDD max. and fCPU max.
2. Measurements are done in the following conditions:
- Program executed from RAM, CPU running with RAM access.
- All I/O pins in input mode with a static value at VDD or VSS (no load)
- All peripherals in reset state.
- LVD disabled.
- Clock input (OSC1) driven by external square wave.
- In SLOW and SLOW WAIT mode, fCPU is based on fOSC divided by 32.
To obtain the total current consumption of the device, add the clock source (Section 12.4.2) and the peripheral power
consumption (Section 12.4.3).
3. All I/O pins in push-pull 0 mode (when applicable) with a static value at VDD or VSS (no load), LVD disabled. Data
based on characterization results, tested in production at VDD max. and fCPU max.
4. Data based on characterisation results, not tested in production. All I/O pins in push-pull 0 mode (when applicable) with
a static value at VDD or VSS (no load); clock input (OSC1) driven by external square wave, LVD disabled. To obtain the
total current consumption of the device, add the clock source consumption (Section 12.4.2).

12.5.3 Crystal and Ceramic Resonator Oscillators
The ST7 internal clock can be supplied with four
different Crystal/Ceramic resonator oscillators. All
the information given in this paragraph is based on
characterization results with specified typical ex-
ternal components. In the application, the resona-
tor and the load capacitors have to be placed as
close as possible to the oscillator pins in order to
minimize output distortion and start-up stabiliza-
tion time. Refer to the crystal/ceramic resonator
manufacturer for more details (frequency, pack-
age, accuracy...).
Notes:
1. The oscillator selection can be optimized in terms of supply current using an high quality resonator with small RS value.
Refer to crystal/ceramic resonator manufacturer for more details.
2. Data based on characterisation results, not tested in production.

12.5.5 PLL Characteristics
Note:
1. Data characterized but not tested.
The user must take the PLL jitter into account in the application (for example in serial communication or
sampling of high frequency signals). The PLL jitter is a periodic effect, which is integrated over several
CPU cycles. Therefore the longer the period of the application signal, the less it will be impacted by the
PLL jitter.
Figure 77 shows the PLL jitter integrated on application signals in the range 125kHz to 4MHz. At frequen-
cies of less than 125KHz, the jitter is negligible.

12.7 EMC CHARACTERISTICS
Susceptibility tests are performed on a sample ba-
sis during product characterization.
12.7.1 Functional EMS (Electro Magnetic
Susceptibility)
Based on a simple running application on the
product (toggling 2 LEDs through I/O ports), the
product is stressed by two electro magnetic events
until a failure occurs (indicated by the LEDs).
ESD: Electro-Static Discharge (positive and
negative) is applied on all pins of the device until
a functional disturbance occurs. This test
conforms with the IEC 1000-4-2 standard.
FTB: A Burst of Fast Transient voltage (positive
and negative) is applied to VDD and VSS through
a 100pF capacitor, until a functional disturbance
occurs. This test conforms with the IEC 1000-4-
4 standard.
A device reset allows normal operations to be re-
sumed. The test results are given in the table be-
low based on the EMS levels and classes defined
in application note AN1709.
12.7.1.1 Designing hardened software to avoid
noise problems
EMC characterization and optimization are per-
formed at component level with a typical applica-
tion environment and simplified MCU software. It
should be noted that good EMC performance is
highly dependent on the user application and the
software in particular.
Therefore it is recommended that the user applies
EMC software optimization and prequalification
tests in relation with the EMC level requested for
his application.
Software recommendations:
The software flowchart must include the manage-
ment of runaway conditions such as:
Corrupted program counter
Unexpected reset
Critical Data corruption (control registers...)
Prequalification trials:
Most of the common failures (unexpected reset
and program counter corruption) can be repro-
duced by manually forcing a low state on the RE-
SET pin or the Oscillator pins for 1 second.
To complete these trials, ESD stress can be ap-
plied directly on the device, over the range of
specification values. When unexpected behaviour
is detected, the software can be hardened to pre-
vent unrecoverable errors occurring (see applica-
tion note AN1015)
.

EMC CHARACTERISTICS (Cont’d)
12.7.3 Absolute Maximum Ratings (Electrical
Sensitivity)
Based on three different tests (ESD, LU and DLU)
using specific measurement methods, the product
is stressed in order to determine its performance in
terms of electrical sensitivity. For more details, re-
fer to the application note AN1181.
12.7.3.1 Electro-Static Discharge (ESD)
Electro-Static Discharges (a positive then a nega-
tive pulse separated by 1 second) are applied to
the pins of each sample according to each pin
combination. The sample size depends on the
number of supply pins in the device (3 parts*(n+1)
supply pin). Two models can be simulated: Human
Body Model and Machine Model. This test con-
forms to the JESD22-A114A/A115A standard.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results, not tested in production.
12.7.3.2 Static and Dynamic Latch-Up
LU: 3 complementary static tests are required
on 10 parts to assess the latch-up performance.
A supply overvoltage (applied to each power
supply pin) and a current injection (applied to
each input, output and configurable I/O pin) are
performed on each sample. This test conforms
to the EIA/JESD 78 IC latch-up standard. For
more details, refer to the application note
AN1181.
DLU: Electro-Static Discharges (one positive
then one negative test) are applied to each pin
of 3 samples when the micro is running to
assess the latch-up performance in dynamic
mode. Power supplies are set to the typical
values, the oscillator is connected as near as
possible to the pins of the micro and the
component is put in reset mode. This test
conforms to the IEC1000-4-2 and SAEJ1752/3
standards. For more details, refer to the
application note AN1181.
Electrical Sensitivities
Notes:
1. Class description: A Class is an STMicroelectronics internal specification. All its limits are higher than the JEDEC spec-
ifications, that means when a device belongs to Class A it exceeds the JEDEC standard. B Class strictly covers all the
JEDEC criteria (international standard).

Notes:
1. Data based on characterization results, not tested in production.
2. Hysteresis voltage between Schmitt trigger switching levels. Based on characterization results, not tested.
3. When the current limitation is not possible, the VIN maximum must be respected, otherwise refer to IINJ(PIN) specifica-
tion. A positive injection is induced by VIN>VDD while a negative injection is induced by VIN<VSS. Refer to section 12.2.2
on page 139 for more details.
4. Configuration not recommended, all unused pins must be kept at a fixed voltage: using the output mode of the I/O for
example and leaving the I/O unconnected on the board or an external pull-up or pull-down resistor (see Figure 78). Static
peak current value taken at a fixed VIN value, based on design simulation and technology characteristics, not tested in
production. This value depends on VDD and temperature values.
5. The RPU pull-up equivalent resistor is based on a resistive transistor (corresponding IPU current characteristics de-
scribed in Figure 79).
6. To generate an external interrupt, a minimum pulse width has to be applied on an I/O port pin configured as an external
interrupt source.

CONTROL PIN CHARACTERISTICS (Cont’d)
Figure 86. RESET pin protection when LVD is enabled.1)2)3)4)
Figure 87. RESET pin protection when LVD is disabled.1)
Note 1:
The reset network protects the device against parasitic resets.
The output of the external reset circuit must have an open-drain output to drive the ST7 reset pad. Otherwise the
device can be damaged when the ST7 generates an internal reset (LVD or watchdog).
Whatever the reset source is (internal or external), the user must ensure that the level on the RESET pin can go
below the VIL max. level specified in section 12.9.1 on page 158. Otherwise the reset will not be taken into account
internally.
Because the reset circuit is designed to allow the internal RESET to be output in the RESET pin, the user must en-
sure that the current sunk on the RESET pin is less than the absolute maximum value specified for IINJ(RESET) in
section 12.2.2 on page 139.
Note 2: When the LVD is enabled, it is recommended not to connect a pull-up resistor or capacitor. A 10nF pull-down
capacitor is required to filter noise on the reset line.
Note 3: In case a capacitive power supply is used, it is recommended to connect a 1M pull-down resistor to the RESET
pin to discharge any residual voltage induced by the capacitive effect of the power supply (this will add 5µA to the power
consumption of the MCU).
Note 4: Tips when using the LVD:
1. Check that all recommendations related to reset circuit have been applied (see notes above).
2. Check that the power supply is properly decoupled (100nF + 10µF close to the MCU). Refer to AN1709 and
AN2017. If this cannot be done, it is recommended to put a 100nF + 1M pull-down on the RESET pin.
3. The capacitors connected on the RESET pin and also the power supply are key to avoid any start-up marginality.
In most cases, steps 1 and 2 above are sufficient for a robust solution. Otherwise: replace 10nF pull-down on the
RESET pin with a 5µF to 20µF capacitor.

2. When no communication is on-going the data output line of the SPI (MOSI in master mode, MISO in slave mode) has
its alternate function capability released. In this case, the pin status depends on the I/O port configuration.
3. Measurement points are done at CMOS levels: 0.3xVDD and 0.7xVDD.

Notes:
1. Data based on standard I2C protocol requirement, not tested in production.
2. The device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal in order to bridge the undefined
region of the falling edge of SCL.
3. The maximum hold time of the START condition has only to be met if the interface does not stretch the low period of
SCL signal.
4. Measurement points are done at CMOS levels: 0.3xVDD and 0.7xVDD.
5. At 4MHz fCPU, max.I2C speed (400kHz) is not achievable. In this case, max. I2C speed will be approximately 260KHz.

12.12.1 Analog Power Supply and Reference
Pins
Depending on the MCU pin count, the package
may feature separate VAREF and VSSA analog
power supply pins. These pins supply power to the
A/D converter cell and function as the high and low
reference voltages for the conversion.
Separation of the digital and analog power pins al-
low board designers to improve A/D performance.
Conversion accuracy can be impacted by voltage
drops and noise in the event of heavily loaded or
badly decoupled power supply lines (see Section
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines).
12.12.2 General PCB Design Guidelines
To obtain best results, some general design and
layout rules should be followed when designing
the application PCB to shield the noise-sensitive,
analog physical interface from noise-generating
CMOS logic signals.
Use separate digital and analog planes. The an-
alog ground plane should be connected to the
digital ground plane via a single point on the
PCB.
Filter power to the analog power planes. It is rec-
ommended to connect capacitors, with good high
frequency characteristics, between the power
and ground lines, placing 0.1µF and optionally, if
needed 10pF capacitors as close as possible to
the ST7 power supply pins and a 1 to 10µF ca-
pacitor close to the power source (see Figure
96).
The analog and digital power supplies should be
connected in a star network. Do not use a resis-
tor, as VAREF is used as a reference voltage by
the A/D converter and any resistance would
cause a voltage drop and a loss of accuracy.
Properly place components and route the signal
traces on the PCB to shield the analog inputs.
Analog signals paths should run over the analog
ground plane and be as short as possible. Isolate
analog signals from digital signals that may
switch while the analog inputs are being sampled
by the A/D converter. Do not toggle digital out-
puts on the same I/O port as the A/D input being
converted.

Conditions: VDD=5V 1)
Notes:
1. ADC Accuracy vs. Negative Injection Current: Injecting negative current may reduce the accuracy of the conversion
being performed on another analog input. The effect of negative injection current on robust pins is specified in Section
12.12.
Any positive injection current within the limits specified for IINJ(PIN) and ΣIINJ(PIN) in Section 12.8 does not affect the ADC
accuracy.
2. Data based on characterization results, monitored in production to guarantee 99.73% within ± max value from -40°C

13.2 THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS
Notes:
1. The maximum chip-junction temperature is based on technology characteristics.
2. The maximum power dissipation is obtained from the formula PD = (TJ -TA) / RthJA.
The power dissipation of an application can be defined by the user with the formula: PD=PINT+PPORT where PINT is
the chip internal power (IDDxVDD) and PPORT is the port power dissipation depending on the ports used in the applica-
tion.

14 ST72321B DEVICE CONFIGURATION AND ORDERING INFORMATION
Each device is available for production in user pro-
grammable versions (FLASH) as well as in factory
coded versions (ROM/FASTROM).
ST72321B devices are ROM versions.
ST72P321B devices are Factory Advanced Serv-
ice Technique ROM (FASTROM) versions: they
are factory-programmed HDFlash devices.
FLASH devices are shipped to customers with a
default content, while ROM/FASTROM factory
coded parts contain the code supplied by the cus-
tomer. This implies that FLASH devices have to be
configured by the customer using the Option Bytes
while the ROM/FASTROM devices are factory-
configured.
14.1 FLASH OPTION BYTES
The option bytes allow the hardware configuration
of the microcontroller to be selected. They have no
address in the memory map and can be accessed
only in programming mode (for example using a
standard ST7 programming tool). The default con-
tent of the FLASH is fixed to FFh. To program the
FLASH devices directly using ICP, FLASH devices
are shipped to customers with the internal RC
clock source enabled. In masked ROM devices,
the option bytes are fixed in hardware by the ROM
code (see option list).
OPTION BYTE 0
OPT7= WDG HALT Watchdog and HALT mode
This option bit determines if a RESET is generated
when entering HALT mode while the Watchdog is
active.
0: No Reset generation when entering Halt mode
1: Reset generation when entering Halt mode
OPT6= WDG SW Hardware or software watchdog
This option bit selects the watchdog type.
0: Hardware (watchdog always enabled)
1: Software (watchdog to be enabled by software)
OPT5 = Reserved, must be kept at default value.
OPT4:3= VD[1:0] Voltage detection
These option bits enable the voltage detection
block (LVD, and AVD) with a selected threshold for
the LVD and AVD (EVD+AVD).
Caution: If the medium or low thresholds are se-
lected, the detection may occur outside the speci-
fied operating voltage range. Below 3.8V, device
operation is not guaranteed. For details on the
AVD and LVD threshold levels refer to section
12.3.2 on page 141

OPT0= FMP_R Flash memory read-out protection
Read-out protection, when selected, provides a
protection against Program Memory content ex-
traction and against write access to Flash memo-
ry.
Erasing the option bytes when the FMP_R option
is selected causes the whole user memory to be
erased first, and the device can be reprogrammed.
Refer to Section 4.3.1 and the ST7 Flash Pro-
gramming Reference Manual for more details.

OPTION BYTE 1
OPT7= PKG1 Package selection bit 1
This option bit selects the package.
Note: On the chip, each I/O port has up to 8 pads.
Pads that are not bonded to external pins are
forced in input pull-up configuration after reset.
The configuration of these pads must be kept at
reset state to avoid added current consumption.
are in input floating configuration after reset. Refer
to Note 4 on page 13.
OPT6 = RSTC RESET clock cycle selection
This option bit selects the number of CPU cycles
applied during the RESET phase and when exiting
HALT mode. For resonator oscillators, it is advised
to select 4096 due to the long crystal stabilization
time.
0: Reset phase with 4096 CPU cycles
1: Reset phase with 256 CPU cycles
OPT5:4 = OSCTYPE[1:0] Oscillator Type
These option bits select the ST7 main clock
source type.
OPT3:1 = OSCRANGE[2:0] Oscillator range
When the resonator oscillator type is selected,
these option bits select the resonator oscillator
current source corresponding to the frequency
range of the used resonator. Otherwise, these bits
are used to select the normal operating frequency
range.
OPT0 = PLLOFF PLL activation
This option bit activates the PLL which allows mul-
tiplication by two of the main input clock frequency.
The PLL is guaranteed only with an input frequen-
cy between 2 and 4MHz, for this reason the PLL
must not be used with the internal RC oscillator.
0: PLL x2 enabled
1: PLL x2 disabled
CAUTION: the PLL can be enabled only if the
“OSC RANGE” (OPT3:1) bits are configured to “
2~4MHz”. Otherwise, the device functionality is
not guaranteed.

15 KNOWN LIMITATIONS
15.1 ALL DEVICES
15.1.1 Unexpected Reset Fetch
If an interrupt request occurs while a “POP CC” in-
struction is executed, the interrupt controller does
not recognise the source of the interrupt and, by
default, passes the RESET vector address to the
CPU.
Workaround
To solve this issue, a “POP CC” instruction must
always be preceded by a “SIM” instruction.
15.1.2 External interrupt missed
To avoid any risk if generating a parasitic interrupt,
the edge detector is automatically disabled for one
clock cycle during an access to either DDR and
OR. Any input signal edge during this period will
not be detected and will not generate an interrupt.
This case can typically occur if the application re-
freshes the port configuration registers at intervals
during runtime.
Workaround
The workaround is based on software checking
the level on the interrupt pin before and after writ-
ing to the PxOR or PxDDR registers. If there is a
level change (depending on the sensitivity pro-
grammed for this pin) the interrupt routine is in-
voked using the call instruction with three extra
PUSH instructions before executing the interrupt
routine (this is to make the call compatible with the
IRET instruction at the end of the interrupt service
routine).
But detection of the level change does not make
sure that edge occurs during the critical 1 cycle du-
ration and the interrupt has been missed. This may
lead to occurrence of same interrupt twice (one
hardware and another with software call).
To avoid this, a semaphore is set to '1' before
checking the level change. The semaphore is
changed to level '0' inside the interrupt routine.
When a level change is detected, the semaphore
status is checked and if it is '1' this means that the
last interrupt has been missed. In this case, the in-
terrupt routine is invoked with the call instruction.
There is another possible case i.e. if writing to
PxOR or PxDDR is done with global interrupts dis-
abled (interrupt mask bit set). In this case, the
semaphore is changed to '1' when the level
change is detected. Detecting a missed interrupt is
done after the global interrupts are enabled (inter-
rupt mask bit reset) and by checking the status of
the semaphore. If it is '1' this means that the last
interrupt was missed and the interrupt routine is in-
voked with the call instruction.
To implement the workaround, the following soft-
ware sequence is to be followed for writing into the
PxOR/PxDDR registers. The example is for for
Port PF1 with falling edge interrupt sensitivity. The
software sequence is given for both cases (global
interrupt disabled/enabled).
Case 1: Writing to PxOR or PxDDR with Global In-
terrupts Enabled:
LD A,#01
LD sema,A ; set the semaphore to '1'
LD A,PFDR
AND A,#02
LD X,A ; store the level before writing to

terrupts Disabled:

15.1.3 Clearing active interrupts outside
interrupt routine
When an active interrupt request occurs at the
same time as the related flag is being cleared, an
unwanted reset may occur.
Note: clearing the related interrupt mask will not
generate an unwanted reset
Concurrent interrupt context
The symptom does not occur when the interrupts
are handled normally, i.e.
when:
The interrupt flag is cleared within its own inter-
rupt routine
The interrupt flag is cleared within any interrupt
routine
The interrupt flag is cleared in any part of the
code while this interrupt is disabled
If these conditions are not met, the symptom can
be avoided by implementing the following se-
quence:
Perform SIM and RIM operation before and after
resetting an active interrupt request.
Example:
SIM
reset interrupt flag
RIM
Nested interrupt context:
The symptom does not occur when the interrupts
are handled normally, i.e.
when:
The interrupt flag is cleared within its own inter-
rupt routine
The interrupt flag is cleared within any interrupt
routine with higher or identical priority level
The interrupt flag is cleared in any part of the
code while this interrupt is disabled
If these conditions are not met, the symptom can
be avoided by implementing the following se-
quence:
PUSH CC
SIM
reset interrupt flag
POP CC

KNOWN LIMITATIONS (Cont’d)
15.1.4 SCI Wrong Break duration
Description
A single break character is sent by setting and re-
setting the SBK bit in the SCICR2 register. In
some cases, the break character may have a long-
er duration than expected:
- 20 bits instead of 10 bits if M=0
- 22 bits instead of 11 bits if M=1.
In the same way, as long as the SBK bit is set,
break characters are sent to the TDO pin. This
may lead to generate one break more than expect-
ed.
Occurrence
The occurrence of the problem is random and pro-
portional to the baudrate. With a transmit frequen-
cy of 19200 baud (fCPU=8MHz and SCI-
BRR=0xC9), the wrong break duration occurrence
is around 1%.
Workaround
If this wrong duration is not compliant with the
communication protocol in the application, soft-
ware can request that an Idle line be generated
before the break character. In this case, the break
duration is always correct assuming the applica-
tion is not doing anything between the idle and the
break. This can be ensured by temporarily disa-
bling interrupts.
The exact sequence is:
- Disable interrupts
- Reset and Set TE (IDLE request)
- Set and Reset SBK (Break Request)
- Re-enable interrupts
15.1.5 16-bit Timer PWM Mode
In PWM mode, the first PWM pulse is missed after
writing the value FFFCh in the OC1R register
(OC1HR, OC1LR). It leads to either full or no PWM
during a period, depending on the OLVL1 and
OLVL2 settings.
15.1.6 TIMD set simultaneously with OC
interrupt
If the 16-bit timer is disabled at the same time the
output compare event occurs then output compare
flag gets locked and cannot be cleared before the
timer is enabled again.
Impact on the application
If output compare interrupt is enabled, then the
output compare flag cannot be cleared in the timer
interrupt routine. Consequently the interrupt serv-
ice routine is called repeatedly.
Workaround
Disable the timer interrupt before disabling the tim-
er. Again while enabling, first enable the timer then
the timer interrupts.
Perform the following to disable the timer:
TACR1 = 0x00h; // Disable the compare interrupt
TACSR |= 0x40; // Disable the timer
Perform the following to enable the timer again:
TACSR &= ~0x40; // Enable the timer
TACR1 = 0x40; // Enable the compare interrupt
15.1.7 I2C Multimaster
In multimaster configurations, if the ST7 I2C re-
ceives a START condition from another I2C mas-
ter after the START bit is set in the I2CCR register
and before the START condition is generated by
the ST7 I2C, it may ignore the START condition
from the other I2C master. In this case, the ST7
master will receive a NACK from the other device.
On reception of the NACK, ST7 can send a re-start
and Slave address to re-initiate communication
15.1.8 Pull-up always active on PE2
The I/O port internal pull-up is always active on I/O
port E2. As a result, if PE2 is in output mode low
level, current consumption in Halt/Active Halt
mode is increased.
