GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 are complete smart
transducer front ends, that integrates a high performance self-
calibrating multichannel ADC, a dual DAC, and an optimized
single-cycle 20 MHz 8-bit MCU (8051 instruction set
compatible) on a single chip.
The ADuC841 and ADuC842 are identical with the exception of
the clock oscillator circuit; the ADuC841 is clocked directly
from an external crystal up to 20 MHz whereas the ADuC842
uses a 32 kHz crystal with an on-chip PLL generating a
programmable core clock up to 16.78 MHz.
The ADuC843 is identical to the ADuC842 except that the
ADuC843 has no analog DAC outputs.
The microcontroller is an optimized 8052 core offering up to
20 MIPS peak performance. Three different memory options
are available offering up to 62 kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE
program memory. Four kBytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE data
memory, 256 bytes RAM, and 2 kBytes of extended RAM are
also integrated on-chip.

1 Temperature Range –40°C to +85°C.
2 ADC linearity is guaranteed during normal MicroConverter core operation.
3 ADC LSB size = VREF/212, i.e., for internal VREF = 2.5 V, 1 LSB = 610 µV, and for external VREF = 1 V, 1 LSB = 244 µV.
4 These numbers are not production tested but are supported by design and/or characterization data on production release.
5 Offset and gain error and offset and gain error match are measured after factory calibration.
6 Based on external ADC system components, the user may need to execute a system calibration to remove additional external channel errors to achieve these
specifications.
7 SNR calculation includes distortion and noise components.
8 Channel-to-channel crosstalk is measured on adjacent channels.
9 The temperature monitor gives a measure of the die temperature directly; air temperature can be inferred from this result.
10 DAC linearity is calculated using:
Reduced code range of 100 to 4095, 0 V to VREF range.
Reduced code range of 100 to 3945, 0 V to VDD range.
DAC output load = 10 kΩ and 100 pF.
11 DAC differential nonlinearity specified on 0 V to VREF and 0 V to VDD ranges.
12 DAC specification for output impedance in the unbuffered case depends on DAC code.
13 DAC specifications for ISINK, voltage output settling time, and digital-to-analog glitch energy depend on external buffer implementation in unbuffered mode. DAC in
unbuffered mode tested with OP270 external buffer, which has a low input leakage current.
14 Measured with CREF pin decoupled with 0.47 µF capacitor to ground. Power-up time for the internal reference is determined by the value of the decoupling capacitor
chosen for the CREF pin.
15 When using an external reference device, the internal band gap reference input can be bypassed by setting the ADCCON1.6 bit.
16 Flash/EE memory reliability characteristics apply to both the Flash/EE program memory and the Flash/EE data memory.
17 Endurance is qualified to 100,000 cycles as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117 and measured at –40°C, +25°C, and +85°C. Typical endurance at 25°C is 700,000 cycles.
18 Retention lifetime equivalent at junction temperature (TJ) = 55°C as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117. Retention lifetime based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV derates
with junction temperature as shown in Figure 38 in the Flash/EE Memory Reliability section.
19 Power supply current consumption is measured in normal, idle, and power-down modes under the following conditions:
Normal Mode: Reset = 0.4 V, digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON (ADuC842/ADuC843), core executing internal
software loop.
Idle Mode: Reset = 0.4 V, digital I/O pins = open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON (ADuC842/ADuC843), PCON.0 = 1, core execution
suspended in idle mode.
Power-Down Mode: Reset = 0.4 V, all Port 0 pins = 0.4 V, All other digital I/O and Port 1 pins are open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON
(ADuC842/ADuC843), PCON.0 = 1, core execution suspended in power-down mode, OSC turned on or off via OSC_PD bit (PLLCON.7) in
PLLCON SFR (ADuC842/ADuC843).
20 DVDD power supply current increases typically by 3 mA (3 V operation) and 10 mA (5 V operation) during a Flash/EE memory program or erase cycle.
21 Power supply currents are production tested at 5.25 V and 3.3 V for a 5 V and 3 V part, respectively.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
ESD CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the
human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

P3.0–P3.7 I/O Port 3 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors. Port 3 pins that have 1s written to them are pulled high
by the internal pull-up resistors, and in that state can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins being pulled
externally low source current because of the internal pull-up resistors. Port 3 pins also contain various secondary
functions, which are described below.

I/O Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors. Port 2 pins that have 1s written to them are pulled high
by the internal pull-up resistors, and in that state can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins being pulled
externally low source current because of the internal pull-up resistors. Port 2 emits the middle and high-order
address bytes during accesses to the external 24-bit external data memory space.
PSEN O Program Store Enable, Logic Output. This pin remains low during internal program execution. PSEN is used to
enable serial download mode when pulled low through a resistor on power-up or reset. On reset this pin will
momentarily become an input and the status of the pin is sampled. If there is no pulldown resistor in place the pin
will go momentarilly high and then user code will execute. If a pull-down resistor is in place, the embedded serial
download/debug kernel will execute.
ALE O

TERMINOLOGY
ADC SPECIFICATIONS
Integral Nonlinearity
The maximum deviation of any code from a straight line
passing through the endpoints of the ADC transfer function.
The endpoints of the transfer function are zero scale, a point
½ LSB below the first code transition, and full scale, a point
½ LSB above the last code transition.
Differential Nonlinearity
The difference between the measured and the ideal 1 LSB
change between any two adjacent codes in the ADC.
Offset Error
The deviation of the first code transition (0000 . . . 000) to
(0000 . . . 001) from the ideal, i.e., +½ LSB.
Gain Error
The deviation of the last code transition from the ideal AIN
voltage (Full Scale – ½ LSB) after the offset error has been
adjusted out.
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) Ratio
The measured ratio of signal to (noise + distortion) at the
output of the ADC. The signal is the rms amplitude of the
fundamental. Noise is the rms sum of all nonfundamental
signals up to half the sampling frequency (fS/2), excluding dc.
The ratio depends on the number of quantization levels in the
digitization process; the more levels, the smaller the quantization
noise. The theoretical signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio for an
ideal N-bit converter with a sine wave input is given by
Signal-to-(Noise + Distortion) = (6.02N + 1.76) dB
Thus for a 12-bit converter, this is 74 dB.
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
The ratio of the rms sum of the harmonics to the fundamental.
DAC SPECIFICATIONS
Relative Accuracy
Relative accuracy or endpoint linearity is a measure of the
maximum deviation from a straight line passing through the
endpoints of the DAC transfer function. It is measured after
adjusting for zero error and full-scale error.
Voltage Output Settling Time
The amount of time it takes for the output to settle to a
specified level for a full-scale input change.
Digital-to-Analog Glitch Impulse
The amount of charge injected into the analog output when the
inputs change state. It is specified as the area of the glitch in nV-sec.

TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The typical performance plots presented in this section
illustrate typical performance of the ADuC841/ADuC842/
ADuC843 under various operating conditions.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show typical ADC integral nonlinearity
(INL) errors from ADC Code 0 to Code 4095 at 5 V and 3 V
supplies, respectively. The ADC is using its internal reference
(2.5 V) and is operating at a sampling rate of 152 kHz; the
typical worst-case errors in both plots are just less than 0.3 LSB.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 also show ADC INL at a higher sampling
rate of 400 kHz. Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the variation in
worst-case positive (WCP) INL and worst-case negative (WCN)
INL versus external reference input voltage.
Figure 11 and Figure 12 show typical ADC differential
nonlinearity (DNL) errors from ADC Code 0 to Code 4095 at
5 V and 3 V supplies, respectively. The ADC is using its internal
reference (2.5 V) and is operating at a sampling rate of 152 kHz;
the typical worst-case errors in both plots are just less than
0.2 LSB. Figure 13 and Figure 14 show the variation in worst-
case positive (WCP) DNL and worst-case negative (WCN) DNL
versus external reference input voltage.
Figure 15 shows a histogram plot of 10,000 ADC conversion
results on a dc input with VDD = 5 V. The plot illustrates an
excellent code distribution pointing to the low noise
performance of the on-chip precision ADC.
Figure 16 shows a histogram plot of 10,000 ADC conversion
results on a dc input for VDD = 3 V. The plot again illustrates a
very tight code distribution of 1 LSB with the majority of codes
appearing in one output pin.
Figure 17 and Figure 18 show typical FFT plots for the parts.
These plots were generated using an external clock input. The
ADC is using its internal reference (2.5 V), sampling a full-scale,
10 kHz sine wave test tone input at a sampling rate of 149.79 kHz.
The resulting FFTs shown at 5 V and 3 V supplies illustrate an
excellent 100 dB noise floor, 71 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),
and THD greater than –80 dB.
Figure 19 and Figure 20 show typical dynamic performance
versus external reference voltages. Again, excellent ac perform-
ance can be observed in both plots with some roll-off being
observed as VREF falls below 1 V.
Figure 21 shows typical dynamic performance versus sampling
frequency. SNR levels of 71 dB are obtained across the sampling
range of the parts.
Figure 22 shows the voltage output of the on-chip temperature
sensor versus temperature. Although the initial voltage output at
25°C can vary from part to part, the resulting slope of1. 4 mV/°C
is constant across all parts.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (continued)
The parts also incorporate additional analog functionality with
two 12-bit DACs, power supply monitor, and a band gap
reference. On-chip digital peripherals include two 16-bit -∆.
DACs, a dual output 16-bit PWM, a watchdog timer, a time
interval counter, three timers/counters, and three serial I/O
ports (SPI, I2C, and UART).
On the ADuC812 and the ADuC832, the I2C and SPI interfaces
share some of the same pins. For backwards compatibility, this
is also the case for the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843.
However, there is also the option to allow SPI operate separately
on P3.3, P3.4, and P3.5, while I2C uses the standard pins. The
I2C interface has also been enhanced to offer repeated start,
general call, and quad addressing.
On-chip factory firmware supports in-circuit serial download
and debug modes (via UART) as well as single-pin emulation
mode via the EA pin. A functional block diagram of the parts is
shown on the first page.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
8052 INSTRUCTION SET
Table 4 documents the number of clock cycles required for each
instruction. Most instructions are executed in one or two clock
cycles, resulting in a 16 MIPS peak performance when operating
at PLLCON = 00H on the ADuC842/ADuC843. On the ADuC841,
20 MIPS peak performance is possible with a 20 MHz external
crystal.

1. One cycle is one clock.
2. Cycles of MOVX instructions are four cycles when they have 0 wait state. Cycles of MOVX instructions are 4 + n cycles when they have n wait states.
3. Cycles of LCALL instruction are three cycles when the LCALL instruction comes from interrupt.
OTHER SINGLE-CYCLE CORE FEATURES
Timer Operation
Timers on a standard 8052 increment by 1 with each machine
cycle. On the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843, one machine
cycle is equal to one clock cycle; therefore the timers increment
at the same rate as the core clock.
ALE
The output on the ALE pin on a standard 8052 part is a clock at
1/6th of the core operating frequency. On the ADuC841/
ADuC842/ADuC843 the ALE pin operates as follows. For a
single machine cycle instruction,ALE is high for the first half of
the machine cycle and low for the second half. The ALE output
is at the core operating frequency. For a two or more machine
cycle instruction, ALE is high for the first half of the first
machine cycle and low for the rest of the machine cycles.
External Memory Access
There is no support for external program memory access on the
parts. When accessing external RAM, the EWAIT register may
need to be programmed to give extra machine cycles to MOVX
commands. This is to account for differing external RAM access
speeds.
EWAIT SFR
SFR Address 9FH
Power-On Default 00H
Bit Addressable No
This special function register (SFR) is programmed with the
number of wait states for a MOVX instruction. This value can
range from 0H to 7H.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 each contain four different
memory blocks:
Up to 62 kBytes of on-chip Flash/EE program memory
4 kBytes of on-chip Flash/EE data memory
256 bytes of general-purpose RAM
2 kBytes of internal XRAM
Flash/EE Program Memory
The parts provide up to 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program mem-
ory to run user code. The user can run code from this internal
memory only. Unlike the ADuC812, where code execution can
overflow from the internal code space to external code space
once the PC becomes greater than 1FFFH, the parts do not
support the roll-over from F7FFH in internal code space to
F800H in external code space. Instead, the 2048 bytes between
F800H and FFFFH appear as NOP instructions to user code.
This internal code space can be downloaded via the UART
serial port while the device is in-circuit. 56 kBytes of the
program memory can be reprogrammed during run time; thus
the code space can be upgraded in the field by using a user
defined protocol, or it can be used as a data memory. This is
discussed in more detail in the Flash/EE Memory section.
For the 32 kBytes memory model, the top 8 kBytes function as
the ULOAD space; this is explained in the Flash/EE Memory
section.
Flash/EE Data Memory
4 kBytes of Flash/EE data memory are available to the user and
can be accessed indirectly via a group of control registers
mapped into the special function register (SFR) area. Access to
the Flash/EE data memory is discussed in detail in the Flash/EE
Memory section.
General-Purpose RAM
The general-purpose RAM is divided into two separate
memories: the upper and the lower 128 bytes of RAM. The
lower 128 bytes of RAM can be accessed through direct or
indirect addressing. The upper 128 bytes of RAM can be
accessed only through indirect addressing because it shares the
same address space as the SFR space, which can be accessed
only through direct addressing.
The lower 128 bytes of internal data memory are mapped as
shown in Figure 23. The lowest 32 bytes are grouped into four
banks of eight registers addressed as R0 to R7. The next 16 bytes
(128 bits), locations 20H to 2FH above the register banks, form
a block of directly addressable bit locations at Bit Addresses
00H to 7FH. The stack can be located anywhere in the internal
memory address space, and the stack depth can be expanded up
to 2048 bytes.
Reset initializes the stack pointer to location 07H and incre-
ments it once before loading the stack to start from location
08H, which is also the first register (R0) of register bank 1. Thus,
if the user needs to use more than one register bank, the stack
pointer should be initialized to an area of RAM not used for
data storage.

Figure 23. Lower 128 Bytes of Internal Data Memory
The parts contain 2048 bytes of internal XRAM, 1792 bytes of
which can be configured to an extended 11-bit stack pointer.
By default, the stack operates exactly like an 8052 in that it rolls
over from FFH to 00H in the general-purpose RAM. On the
parts, however, it is possible (by setting CFG841.7 or CFG842.7)
to enable the 11-bit extended stack pointer. In this case, the
stack rolls over from FFH in RAM to 0100H in XRAM.
The 11-bit stack pointer is visible in the SP and SPH SFRs. The
SP SFR is located at 81H as with a standard 8052. The SPH SFR
is located at B7H. The 3 LSBs of this SFR contain the 3 extra bits
necessary to extend the 8-bit stack pointer into an 11-bit stack
pointer.

External Data Memory (External XRAM)
Just like a standard 8051 compatible core, the ADuC841/
ADuC842/ADuC843 can access external data memory by using
a MOVX instruction. The MOVX instruction automatically
outputs the various control strobes required to access the data
memory.
The parts, however, can access up to 16 MBytes of external data
memory. This is an enhancement of the 64 kBytes of external
data memory space available on a standard 8051 compatible core.
The external data memory is discussed in more detail in the
Hardware Design Considerations section.
Internal XRAM
The parts contain 2 kBytes of on-chip data memory. This
memory, although on-chip, is also accessed via the MOVX
instruction. The 2 kBytes of internal XRAM are mapped into
the bottom 2 kBytes of the external address space if the
CFG841/CFG842 bit is set. Otherwise, access to the external
data memory occurs just like a standard 8051. When using the
internal XRAM, Ports 0 and 2 are free to be used as general-
purpose I/O.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFRS)
The SFR space is mapped into the upper 128 bytes of internal
data memory space and is accessed by direct addressing only. It
provides an interface between the CPU and all on-chip periph-
erals. A block diagram showing the programming model of the
parts via the SFR area is shown in Figure 26.
All registers, except the program counter (PC) and the four
general-purpose register banks, reside in the SFR area. The SFR
registers include control, configuration, and data registers, which
provide an interface between the CPU and all on-chip peripherals.

ACCUMULATOR SFR (ACC)
ACC is the accumulator register and is used for math opera-
tions including addition, subtraction, integer multiplication and
division, and Boolean bit manipulations. The mnemonics for
accumulator-specific instructions refer to the accumulator as A.
B SFR (B)
The B register is used with the ACC for multiplication and
division operations. For other instructions, it can be treated as a
general-purpose scratchpad register.
Stack Pointer (SP and SPH)
The SP SFR is the stack pointer and is used to hold an internal
RAM address that is called the top of the stack. The SP register
is incremented before data is stored during PUSH and CALL
executions. While the stack may reside anywhere in on-chip
RAM, the SP register is initialized to 07H after a reset, which
causes the stack to begin at location 08H.
As mentioned earlier, the parts offer an extended 11-bit stack
pointer. The 3 extra bits used to make up the 11-bit stack
pointer are the 3 LSBs of the SPH byte located at B7H.
Data Pointer (DPTR)
The data pointer is made up of three 8-bit registers named DPP
(page byte), DPH (high byte), and DPL (low byte). These are
used to provide memory addresses for internal and external
code access and for external data access. They may be manipu-
lated as a 16-bit register (DPTR = DPH, DPL), although INC
DPTR instructions automatically carry over to DPP, or as three
independent 8-bit registers (DPP, DPH, DPL). The parts support
dual data pointers. Refer to the Dual Data Pointer section.
Program Status Word (PSW)
The PSW SFR contains several bits reflecting the current status
of the CPU, as detailed in Table 5.

SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTER BANKS
All registers except the program counter and the four general-
purpose register banks reside in the special function register
(SFR) area. The SFR registers include control, configuration,
and data registers, which provide an interface between the CPU
and other on-chip peripherals. Figure 27 shows a full SFR
memory map and SFR contents on reset. Unoccupied SFR
locations are shown dark-shaded in the figure (NOT USED).
Unoccupied locations in the SFR address space are not
implemented, i.e., no register exists at this location. If an
unoccupied location is read, an unspecified value is returned.
SFR locations reserved for on-chip testing are shown lighter
shaded (RESERVED) and should not be accessed by user
software. Sixteen of the SFR locations are also bit addressable
and denoted by 1 in Figure 27, i.e., the bit addressable SFRs are
those whose address ends in 0H or 8H.

ADC CIRCUIT INFORMATION
General Overview
The ADC conversion block incorporates a fast, 8-channel,
12-bit, single-supply ADC. This block provides the user with
multichannel mux, track-and-hold, on-chip reference, calibra-
tion features, and ADC. All components in this block are easily
configured via a 3-register SFR interface.
The ADC converter consists of a conventional successive
approximation converter based around a capacitor DAC. The
converter accepts an analog input range of 0 V to VREF. A high
precision, 15 ppm, low drift, factory calibrated 2.5 V reference is
provided on-chip. An external reference can be connected as
described in the Voltage Reference Connections section. This
external reference can be in the range 1 V to AVDD.
Single-step or continuous conversion modes can be initiated in
software or alternatively by applying a convert signal to an
external pin. Timer 2 can also be configured to generate a
repetitive trigger for ADC conversions. The ADC may be
configured to operate in a DMA mode whereby the ADC block
continuously converts and captures samples to an external
RAM space without any interaction from the MCU core. This
automatic capture facility can extend through a 16 MByte
external data memory space.
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 are shipped with factory
programmed calibration coefficients that are automatically
downloaded to the ADC on power-up, ensuring optimum ADC
performance. The ADC core contains internal offset and gain
calibration registers that can be hardware calibrated to
minimize system errors.
A voltage output from an on-chip band gap reference propor-
tional to absolute temperature can also be routed through the
front end ADC multiplexer (effectively a 9th ADC channel
input), facilitating a temperature sensor implementation.
ADC Transfer Function
The analog input range for the ADC is 0 V to VREF. For this
range, the designed code transitions occur midway between
successive integer LSB values, i.e., 0.5 LSB, 1.5 LSB, 2.5 LSB . . .
FS –1.5 LSB. The output coding is straight binary with 1 LSB =
FS/4096 or 2.5 V/4096 = 0.61 mV when VREF = 2.5 V. The ideal
input/output transfer characteristic for the 0 V to VREF range is
shown in Figure 28.

The ADC incorporates a successive approximation architecture
(SAR) involving a charge-sampled input stage. Figure 30 shows
the equivalent circuit of the analog input section. Each ADC
conversion is divided into two distinct phases, as defined by the
position of the switches in Figure 30. During the sampling
phase (with SW1 and SW2 in the track position), a charge
proportional to the voltage on the analog input is developed
across the input sampling capacitor. During the conversion
phase (with both switches in the hold position), the capacitor
DAC is adjusted via internal SAR logic until the voltage on
Node A is 0, indicating that the sampled charge on the input
capacitor is balanced out by the charge being output by the
capacitor DAC. The final digital value contained in the SAR is
then latched out as the result of the ADC conversion. Control of
the SAR and timing of acquisition and sampling modes is
handled automatically by built-in ADC control logic.
Acquisition and conversion times are also fully configurable
under user control.

Figure 30. Internal ADC Structure
Note that whenever a new input channel is selected, a residual
charge from the 32 pF sampling capacitor places a transient on
the newly selected input. The signal source must be capable of
recovering from this transient before the sampling switches go
into hold mode. Delays can be inserted in software (between
channel selection and conversion request) to account for input
stage settling, but a hardware solution alleviates this burden
from the software design task and ultimately results in a cleaner
system implementation. One hardware solution is to choose a
very fast settling op amp to drive each analog input. Such an op
amp would need to fully settle from a small signal transient in
less than 300 ns in order to guarantee adequate settling under
all software configurations. A better solution, recommended for
use with any amplifier, is shown in Figure 31. Though at first
glance the circuit in Figure 31 may look like a simple antialias-
ing filter, it actually serves no such purpose since its corner
frequency is well above the Nyquist frequency, even at a 200
kHz sample rate. Though the R/C does help to reject some
incoming high frequency noise, its primary function is to ensure
that the transient demands of the ADC input stage are met.

It does so by providing a capacitive bank from which the 32 pF
sampling capacitor can draw its charge. Its voltage does not
change by more than one count (1/4096) of the 12-bit transfer
function when the 32 pF charge from a previous channel is
dumped onto it. A larger capacitor can be used if desired, but
not a larger resistor (for reasons described below). The Schottky
diodes in Figure 31 may be necessary to limit the voltage
applied to the analog input pin per the Absolute Maximum
Ratings. They are not necessary if the op amp is powered from
the same supply as the part since in that case the op amp is
unable to generate voltages above VDD or below ground. An op
amp of some kind is necessary unless the signal source is very
low impedance to begin with. DC leakage currents at the parts’
analog inputs can cause measurable dc errors with external
source impedances as low as 100 Ω or so. To ensure accurate
ADC operation, keep the total source impedance at each analog
input less than 61 Ω. The Table 10 illustrates examples of how
source impedance can affect dc accuracy.

Although Figure 31 shows the op amp operating at a gain of 1,
one can, of course, configure it for any gain needed. Also, one
can just as easily use an instrumentation amplifier in its place to
condition differential signals. Use an amplifier that is capable of
delivering the signal (0 V to VREF) with minimal saturation.
Some single-supply rail-to-rail op amps that are useful for this
purpose are described in Table 11. Check Analog Devices website
www.analog.com for details on these and other op amps and
instrumentation amps.

Keep in mind that the ADC’s transfer function is 0 V to VREF,
and that any signal range lost to amplifier saturation near
ground will impact dynamic range. Though the op amps in
Table 11 are capable of delivering output signals that very
closely approach ground, no amplifier can deliver signals all the
way to ground when powered by a single supply. Therefore, if a
negative supply is available, you might consider using it to
power the front end amplifiers. If you do, however, be sure to
include the Schottky diodes shown in Figure 31 (or at least the
lower of the two diodes) to protect the analog input from
undervoltage conditions. To summarize this section, use the
circuit in Figure 31 to drive the analog input pins of the parts.
Voltage Reference Connections
The on-chip 2.5 V band gap voltage reference can be used as the
reference source for the ADC and DACs. To ensure the accuracy
of the voltage reference, you must decouple the CREF pin to
ground with a 0.47 µF capacitor, as shown in Figure 32. Note
that this is different from the ADuC812/ADuC831/ADuC832.

Figure 32. Decoupling VREF and CREF
If the internal voltage reference is to be used as a reference for
external circuitry, the CREF output should be used. However, a
buffer must be used in this case to ensure that no current is
drawn from the CREF pin itself. The voltage on the CREF pin is that
of an internal node within the buffer block, and its voltage is
critical for ADC and DAC accuracy. The parts power up with
their internal voltage reference in the off state.
If an external voltage reference is preferred, it should be
connected to the CREF pin as shown in Figure 33. Bit 6 of the
ADCCON1 SFR must be set to 1 to switch in the external
reference voltage.
To ensure accurate ADC operation, the voltage applied to CREF
must be between 1 V and AVDD. In situations where analog
input signals are proportional to the power supply (such as in
some strain gage applications), it may be desirable to connect
the CREF pin directly to AVDD. Operation of the ADC or DACs
with a reference voltage below 1 V, however, may incur loss of
accuracy, eventually resulting in missing codes or non-
monotonicity. For that reason, do not use a reference voltage
lower than 1 V.

Figure 33. Using an External Voltage Reference
Configuring the ADC
The parts’ successive approximation ADC is driven by a divided
down version of the master clock. To ensure adequate ADC
operation, this ADC clock must be between 400 kHz and
8.38 MHz. Frequencies within this range can be achieved easily
with master clock frequencies from 400 kHz to well above
16 MHz, with the four ADC clock divide ratios to choose from.
For example, set the ADC clock divide ratio to 8 (i.e., ADCCLK
= 16.777216 MHz/8 = 2 MHz) by setting the appropriate bits in
ADCCON1 (ADCCON1.5 = 1, ADCCON1.4 = 0). The total
ADC conversion time is 15 ADC clocks, plus 1 ADC clock for
synchronization, plus the selected acquisition time (1, 2, 3, or 4
ADC clocks). For the preceding example, with a 3-clock
acquisition time, total conversion time is 19 ADC clocks (or
9.05 µs for a 2 MHz ADC clock).
In continuous conversion mode, a new conversion begins each
time the previous one finishes. The sample rate is then simply
the inverse of the total conversion time described previously. In
the preceding example, the continuous conversion mode sample
rate is 110.3 kHz.
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
Rev. 0 | Page 29 of 88
If using the temperature sensor as the ADC input, the ADC
should be configured to use an ADCCLK of MCLK/32 and four
acquisition clocks.
Increasing the conversion time on the temperature monitor
channel improves the accuracy of the reading. To further
improve the accuracy, an external reference with low tempera-
ture drift should also be used.
ADC DMA Mode
The on-chip ADC has been designed to run at a maximum
conversion speed of 2.38 µs (420 kHz sampling rate). When
converting at this rate, the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
MicroConverter has 2 µs to read the ADC result and to store the
result in memory for further postprocessing; otherwise the next
ADC sample could be lost. In an interrupt driven routine, the
MicroConverter would also have to jump to the ADC interrupt
service routine, which also increases the time required to store
the ADC results. In applications where the parts cannot sustain
the interrupt rate, an ADC DMA mode is provided.
To enable DMA mode, Bit 6 in ADCCON2 (DMA) must be set,
which allows the ADC results to be written directly to a 16 MByte
external static memory SRAM (mapped into data memory
space) without any interaction from the core of the part. This
mode allows the part to capture a contiguous sample stream at
full ADC update rates (420 kHz).
Typical DMA Mode Configuration Example
Setting the parts to DMA mode consists of the following steps:
1. The ADC must be powered down. This is done by ensuring
that MD1 and MD0 are both set to 0 in ADCCON1.
2. The DMA address pointer must be set to the start address
of where the ADC results are to be written. This is done by
writing to the DMA mode address pointers DMAL, DMAH,
and DMAP. DMAL must be written to first, followed by
DMAH, and then by DMAP.
3. The external memory must be preconfigured. This consists
of writing the required ADC channel IDs into the top four
bits of every second memory location in the external
SRAM, starting at the first address specified by the DMA
address pointer. Because the ADC DMA mode operates
independently from the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
core, it is necessary to provide it with a stop command.
This is done by duplicating the last channel ID to be
converted followed by 1111 into the next channel selection
field. A typical preconfiguration of external memory is
shown in Figure 34.

4. The DMA is initiated by writing to the ADC SFRs in the
following sequence:
a. ADCCON2 is written to enable the DMA mode, i.e.,
MOV ADCCON2, #40H; DMA mode enabled.
b. ADCCON1 is written to configure the conversion
time and power-up of the ADC. It can also enable
Timer 2 driven conversions or external triggered
conversions if required.
c. ADC conversions are initiated. This is done by starting
single conversions, starting Timer 2, running for
Timer 2 conversions, or receiving an external trigger.
When the DMA conversions are complete, the ADC interrupt
bit, ADCI, is set by hardware, and the external SRAM contains
the new ADC conversion results as shown in Figure 35. Note
that no result is written to the last two memory locations.
When the DMA mode logic is active, it takes the responsibility
of storing the ADC results away from both the user and the core
logic of the part. As the DMA interface writes the results of the
ADC conversions to external memory, it takes over the external
memory interface from the core. Thus, any core instructions
that access the external memory while DMA mode is enabled
does not get access to the external memory. The core executes
the instructions, and they take the same time to execute, but
they cannot access the external memory.

The DMA logic operates from the ADC clock and uses pipelin-
ing to perform the ADC conversions and to access the external
memory at the same time. The time it takes to perform one ADC
conversion is called a DMA cycle. The actions performed by the
logic during a typical DMA cycle are shown in Figure 36.

Figure 36 shows that during one DMA cycle, the following
actions are performed by the DMA logic:
1. An ADC conversion is performed on the channel whose ID
was read during the previous cycle.
2. The 12-bit result and the channel ID of the conversion
performed in the previous cycle is written to the external
memory.
3. The ID of the next channel to be converted is read from
external memory.
For the previous example, the complete flow of events is shown
in Figure 36. Because the DMA logic uses pipelining, it takes
three cycles before the first correct result is written out.
Micro Operation during ADC DMA Mode
During ADC DMA mode, the MicroConverter core is free to
continue code execution, including general housekeeping and
communication tasks. However, note that MCU core accesses to
Ports 0 and 2 (which of course are being used by the DMA con-
troller) are gated off during the ADC DMA mode of operation.
This means that even though the instruction that accesses the
external Ports 0 or 2 appears to execute, no data is seen at these
external ports as a result. Note that during DMA to the inter-
nally contained XRAM, Ports 0 and 2 are available for use.
The only case in which the MCU can access XRAM during
DMA is when the internal XRAM is enabled and the section of
RAM to which the DMA ADC results are being written to lies
in an external XRAM. Then the MCU can access the internal
XRAM only. This is also the case for use of the extended stack
pointer.
The MicroConverter core can be configured with an interrupt
to be triggered by the DMA controller when it has finished
filling the requested block of RAM with ADC results, allowing
the service routine for this interrupt to postprocess data without
any real-time timing constraints.
ADC Offset and Gain Calibration Coefficients
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 have two ADC calibration
coefficients, one for offset calibration and one for gain calibra-
tion. Both the offset and gain calibration coefficients are 14-bit
words, and are each stored in two registers located in the special
function register (SFR) area. The offset calibration coefficient is
divided into ADCOFSH (six bits) and ADCOFSL (8 bits), and
the gain calibration coefficient is divided into ADCGAINH
(6 bits) and ADCGAINL (8 bits).
The offset calibration coefficient compensates for dc offset
errors in both the ADC and the input signal. Increasing the
offset coefficient compensates for positive offset, and effectively
pushes the ADC transfer function down. Decreasing the offset
coefficient compensates for negative offset, and effectively
pushes the ADC transfer function up. The maximum offset that
can be compensated is typically ±5% of VREF, which equates to
typically ±125 mV with a 2.5 V reference.
Similarly, the gain calibration coefficient compensates for dc
gain errors in both the ADC and the input signal. Increasing the
gain coefficient compensates for a smaller analog input signal
range and scales the ADC transfer function up, effectively
increasing the slope of the transfer function. Decreasing the
gain coefficient compensates for a larger analog input signal
range and scales the ADC transfer function down, effectively
decreasing the slope of the transfer function. The maximum
analog input signal range for which the gain coefficient can
compensate is 1.025 × VREF, and the minimum input range is
0.975 × VREF, which equates to typically ±2.5% of the reference
voltage.
CALIBRATING THE ADC
Two hardware calibration modes are provided, which can be
easily initiated by user software. The ADCCON3 SFR is used to
calibrate the ADC. Bit 1 (typical) and CS3 to CS0 (ADCCON2) set
up the calibration modes.
Device calibration can be initiated to compensate for significant
changes in operating condition frequency, analog input range,
reference voltage, and supply voltages. In this calibration mode,
offset calibration uses internal AGND selected via ADCCON2
register Bits CS3 to CS0 (1011), and gain calibration uses inter-
nal VREF selected by Bits CS3 to CS0 (1100). Offset calibration
should be executed first, followed by gain calibration. System
calibration can be initiated to compensate for both internal and
external system errors. To perform system calibration by using
an external reference, tie the system ground and reference to
any two of the six selectable inputs. Enable external reference
mode (ADCCON1.6). Select the channel connected to AGND
via Bits CS3 to CS0 and perform system offset calibration. Select
the channel connected to VREF via Bits CS3 to CS0 and perform
system gain calibration.

Initiating the Calibration in Code
When calibrating the ADC using ADCCON1, the ADC must be
set up into the configuration in which it will be used. The

high at the start of calibration and returns to zero only at the
end of the calibration cycle. It can therefore be monitored in
code to indicate when the calibration cycle is completed. The

NONVOLATILE FLASH/EE MEMORY
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 incorporate Flash/EE
memory technology on-chip to provide the user with nonvola-
tile, in-circuit, reprogrammable code and data memory space.
Flash/EE memory is a relatively recent type of nonvolatile
memory technology, which is based on a single transistor cell
architecture. Flash/EE memory combines the flexible in-circuit
reprogrammable features of EEPROM with the space efficient/
density features of EPROM as shown in Figure 37.
Because Flash/EE technology is based on a single transistor cell
architecture, a flash memory array, such as EPROM, can be
implemented to achieve the space efficiencies or memory densities
required by a given design. Like EEPROM, flash memory can be
programmed in-system at a byte level; it must first be erased,
the erase being performed in page blocks. Thus, flash memory
is often and more correctly referred to as Flash/EE memory.

Figure 37. Flash/EE Memory Development
Overall, Flash/EE memory represents a step closer to the ideal
memory device that includes nonvolatility, in-circuit program-
mability, high density, and low cost. Incorporated in the parts,
Flash/EE memory technology allows the user to update program
code space in-circuit, without the need to replace one-time
programmable (OTP) devices at remote operating nodes.
Flash/EE Memory and the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
The parts provide two arrays of Flash/EE memory for user
applications. Up to 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program space are
provided on-chip to facilitate code execution without any
external discrete ROM device requirements. The program
memory can be programmed in-circuit by using the serial
download mode provided, by using conventional third party
memory programmers, or via a user defined protocol that can
configure it as data if required.
Note that the following sections use the 62 kByte program space
as an example when referring to ULOAD mode. For the other
memory models (32 kByte and 8 kByte), the ULOAD space
moves to the top 8 kBytes of the on-chip program memory, i.e.,
for 32 kBytes, the ULOAD space is from 24 kBytes to 32 kBytes,
the kernel still resides in a protected space from 60 kBytes to
62 kBytes. There is no ULOAD space present on the 8 kBtye part.
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
Rev. 0 | Page 32 of 88
A 4 kByte Flash/EE data memory space is also provided on-
chip. This may be used as a general-purpose nonvolatile
scratchpad area. User access to this area is via a group of six
SFRs. This space can be programmed at a byte level, although it
must first be erased in 4-byte pages.
Flash/EE Memory Reliability
The Flash/EE program and data memory arrays on the parts are
fully qualified for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics:
Flash/EE memory cycling endurance and Flash/EE memory
data retention.
Endurance quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to be
cycled through many program, read, and erase cycles. In real
terms, a single endurance cycle is composed of four independ-
ent, sequential events, defined as
1. Initial page erase sequence.
2. Read/verify sequence a single Flash/EE.
3. Byte program sequence memory.
4. Second read/verify sequence endurance cycle.
In reliability qualification, every byte in both the program and
data Flash/EE memory is cycled from 00H to FFH until a first
fail is recorded, signifying the endurance limit of the on-chip
Flash/EE memory.
As indicated in the Specifications table, the parts Flash/EE
memory endurance qualification has been carried out in
accordance with JEDEC Retention Lifetime Specification A117
over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +25°C and
+25°C to +85°C. The results allow the specification of a mini-
mum endurance figure over supply and over temperature of
100,000 cycles, with an endurance figure of 700,000 cycles being
typical of operation at 25°C.
Retention quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to
retain its programmed data over time. Again, the parts have
been qualified in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention
Lifetime Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature
(TJ = 55°C). As part of this qualification procedure, the Flash/EE
memory is cycled to its specified endurance limit, described
previously, before data retention is characterized. This means
that the Flash/EE memory is guaranteed to retain its data for its
fully specified retention lifetime every time the Flash/EE
memory is reprogrammed. Also note that retention lifetime,
based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV, derates with TJ as
shown in Figure 38.

Using the Flash/EE Program Memory
The 62 kByte Flash/EE program memory array is mapped into
the lower 62 kBytes of the 64 kByte program space addressable
by the parts, and is used to hold user code in typical applica-
tions. The program Flash/EE memory array can be
programmed in three ways:
Serial Downloading (In-Circuit Programming)
The parts facilitate code download via the standard UART serial
port. The parts enter serial download mode after a reset or
power cycle if the PSEN pin is pulled low through an external
1 kΩ resistor. Once in serial download mode, the user can
download code to the full 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program
memory while the device is in-circuit in its target application
hardware.
A PC serial download executable is provided as part of the
ADuC841/ADuC842 QuickStart development system. The
serial download protocol is detailed in MicroConverter
Application Note uC004.
Parallel Programming
Parallel programming mode is fully compatible with conven-
tional third party flash or EEPROM device programmers. In
this mode, Ports P0, P1, and P2 operate as the external data and
address bus interface, ALE operates as the write enable strobe,
and Port P3 is used as a general configuration port, which
configures the device for various program and erase operations
during parallel programming. The high voltage (12 V) supply
required for flash programming is generated using on-chip
charge pumps to supply the high voltage program lines. The
complete parallel programming specification is available on the
MicroConverter home page at www.analog.com/microconverter.

User Download Mode (ULOAD)
Figure 39 shows that it is possible to use the 62 kBytes of
Flash/EE program memory available to the user as a single
block of memory. In this mode, all of the Flash/EE memory is
read-only to user code.
However, the Flash/EE program memory can also be written to
during runtime simply by entering ULOAD mode. In ULOAD
mode, the lower 56 kBytes of program memory can be erased and
reprogrammed by user software as shown in Figure 39. ULOAD
mode can be used to upgrade your code in the field via any user
defined download protocol. By configuring the SPI port on the
part as a slave, it is possible to completely reprogram the
56 kBytes of Flash/EE program memory in only 5 seconds (refer
to Application Note uC007).
Alternatively, ULOAD mode can be used to save data to the
56 kBytes of Flash/EE memory. This can be extremely useful in
data logging applications where the part can provide up to
60 kBytes of NV data memory on chip (4 kBytes of dedicated
Flash/EE data memory also exist).
The upper 6 kBytes of the 62 kBytes of Flash/EE program
memory are programmable only via serial download or parallel
programming. This means that this space appears as read-only
to user code. Therefore, it cannot be accidentally erased or
reprogrammed by erroneous code execution, which makes it
very suitable to use the 6 kBytes as a bootloader.
A bootload enable option exists in the serial downloader to
always run from E000H after reset. If using a bootloader, this
option is recommended to ensure that the bootloader always
executes correct code after reset. Programming the Flash/EE
program memory via ULOAD mode is described in more detail
in the description of ECON and in Application Note uC007.

Flash/EE Program Memory Security
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 facilitate three modes of
Flash/EE program memory security. These modes can be
independently activated, restricting access to the internal code
space. These security modes can be enabled as part of serial
download protocol as described in Application Note uC004 or
via parallel programming. The security modes available on the
parts are as follows:
Lock Mode
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel program-
ming of the program memory. However, reading the memory in
parallel mode and reading the memory via a MOVC command
from external memory is still allowed. This mode is deactivated
by initiating a code-erase command in serial download or
parallel programming modes.
Secure Mode
This mode locks code in memory, disabling parallel program-
ming (program and verify/read commands) as well as disabling
the execution of a MOVC instruction from external memory,
which is attempting to read the op codes from internal memory.
Read/write of internal data Flash/EE from external memory is
also disabled. This mode is deactivated by initiating a code-erase
command in serial download or parallel programming modes.
Serial Safe Mode
This mode disables serial download capability on the device. If
serial safe mode is activated and an attempt is made to reset the
part into serial download mode, i.e., RESET asserted and de-
asserted with PSEN low, the part interprets the serial download
reset as a normal reset only. It therefore cannot enter serial
download mode but can only execute as a normal reset
sequence. Serial safe mode can be disabled only by initiating a
code-erase command in parallel programming mode.

USING FLASH/EE DATA MEMORY
The 4 kBytes of Flash/EE data memory are configured as 1024
pages, each of 4 bytes. As with the other ADuC841/ADuC842/
ADuC843 peripherals, the interface to this memory space is via
a group of registers mapped in the SFR space. A group of four
data registers (EDATA1–4) is used to hold the four bytes of data
at each page. The page is addressed via the two registers, EADRH
and EADRL. Finally, ECON is an 8-bit control register that may
be written with one of nine Flash/EE memory access commands
to trigger various read, write, erase, and verify functions. A block
diagram of the SFR interface to the Flash/EE data memory array
is shown in Figure 41.
ECON—Flash/EE Memory Control SFR
Programming of either Flash/EE data memory or Flash/ EE
program memory is done through the Flash/EE memory
control SFR (ECON). This SFR allows the user to read, write,
erase, or verify the 4 kBytes of Flash/EE data memory or the
56 kBytes of Flash/EE program memory.

Example: Programming the Flash/EE Data Memory
A user wants to program F3H into the second byte on Page 03H
of the Flash/EE data memory space while preserving the other
3 bytes already in this page. A typical program of the Flash/EE
data array involves
1. Setting EADRH/L with the page address.
2. Writing the data to be programmed to the EDATA1–4.
3. Writing the ECON SFR with the appropriate command.
Step 1: Set Up the Page Address
Address registers EADRH and EADRL hold the high byte
address and the low byte address of the page to be addressed.
The assembly language to set up the address may appear as
MOV EADRH,#0 ; Set Page Address Pointer
MOV EADRL,#03H
Step 2: Set Up the EDATA Registers
Write the four values to be written into the page into the four
SFRs, EDATA1–4. Unfortunately, the user does not know three
of them. Thus, the user must read the current page and over-
write the second byte.
MOV ECON,#1 ; Read Page into EDATA1-4
MOV EDATA2,#0F3H ; Overwrite byte 2
Step 3: Program Page
A byte in the Flash/EE array can be programmed only if it has
previously been erased. To be more specific, a byte can be
programmed only if it already holds the value FFH. Because of
the Flash/EE architecture, this erase must happen at a page level;
therefore, a minimum of 4 bytes (1 page) are erased when an
erase command is initiated. Once the page is erase, the user can
program the 4 bytes in-page and then perform a verification of
the data.
MOV ECON,#5 ; ERASE Page
MOV ECON,#2 ; WRITE Page
MOV ECON,#4 ; VERIFY Page
MOV A,ECON ; Check if ECON=0 (OK!)
JNZ ERROR
Although the 4 kBytes of Flash/EE data memory are shipped
from the factory pre-erased, i.e., byte locations set to FFH, it is
nonetheless good programming practice to include an
ERASEALL routine as part of any configuration/setup code
running on the parts. An ERASEALL command consists of
writing 06H to the ECON SFR, which initiates an erase of the
4-kByte Flash/EE array. This command coded in 8051 assembly
would appear as
MOV ECON,#06H ; Erase all Command
; 2 ms Duration
Flash/EE Memory Timing
Typical program and erase times for the parts are as follows:
Normal Mode (operating on Flash/EE data memory)
READPAGE (4 bytes) 22 machine cycles
WRITEPAGE (4 bytes) 380 µs
VERIFYPAGE (4 bytes) 22 machine cycles
ERASEPAGE (4 bytes) 2 ms
ERASEALL (4 kBytes) 2 ms
READBYTE (1 byte) 9 machine cycles
WRITEBYTE (1 byte) 200 µs
ULOAD Mode (operating on Flash/EE program memory)
WRITEPAGE (256 bytes) 16.5 ms
ERASEPAGE (64 bytes) 2 ms
ERASEALL (56 kBytes) 2 ms
WRITEBYTE (1 byte) 200 µs
Note that a given mode of operation is initiated as soon as the
command word is written to the ECON SFR. The core micro-
controller operation on the parts is idled until the requested
program/read or erase mode is completed. In practice, this
means that even though the Flash/EE memory mode of operation
is typically initiated with a two machine cycle MOV instruction
(to write to the ECON SFR), the next instruction is not executed
until the Flash/EE operation is complete. This means that the
core cannot respond to interrupt requests until the Flash/EE
operation is complete, although the core peripheral functions
like counter/timers continue to count and time as configured
throughout this period.

ADuC842/ADuC843 Configuration SFR (CFG842)
The CFG842 SFR contains the necessary bits to configure the
internal XRAM, external clock select, PWM output selection,
DAC buffer, and the extended SP for both the ADuC842 and the
ADuC843. By default, it configures the user into 8051 mode, i.e.,
extended SP is disabled and internal XRAM is disabled. On the

USER INTERFACE TO ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
This section gives a brief overview of the various peripherals
also available on-chip. A summary of the SFRs used to control
and configure these peripherals is also given.
DAC
The ADuC841/ADuC842 incorporate two 12-bit voltage output
DACs on-chip. Each has a rail-to-rail voltage output buffer
capable of driving 10 kΩ/100 pF. Each has two selectable ranges,
0 V to VREF (the internal band gap 2.5 V reference) and 0 V to
AVDD. Each can operate in 12-bit or 8-bit mode.
Both DACs share a control register, DACCON, and four data
registers, DAC1H/L, DAC0/L. Note that in 12-bit asynchronous
mode, the DAC voltage output is updated as soon as the DACL
data SFR has been written; therefore, the DAC data registers
should be updated as DACH first, followed by DACL. Note that
for correct DAC operation on the 0 V to VREF range, the ADC
must be switched on. This results in the DAC using the correct
reference value.

Set to 0 by the user to force the output of DAC1 to 0 V.
3 CLR0 DAC0 Clear Bit.
Set to 1 by the user to leave the output of DAC0 at its normal level.
Set to 0 by the user to force the output of DAC0 to 0 V.
2 SYNC DAC0/1 Update Synchronization Bit.
When set to 1, the DAC outputs update as soon as DACxL SFRs are written. The user can simultaneously update

Using the DAC
The on-chip DAC architecture consists of a resistor string DAC
followed by an output buffer amplifier, the functional equivalent
of which is illustrated in Figure 42. Details of the actual DAC
architecture can be found in U.S. Patent Number 5969657
(www.uspto.gov). Features of this architecture include inherent
guaranteed monotonicity and excellent differential linearity.

Figure 42. Resistor String DAC Functional Equivalent
As shown in Figure 42, the reference source for each DAC is
user selectable in software. It can be either AVDD or VREF. In
0 V-to-AVDD mode, the DAC output transfer function spans
from 0 V to the voltage at the AVDD pin. In 0 V-to-VREF mode,
the DAC output transfer function spans from 0 V to the internal
VREF or, if an external reference is applied, the voltage at the CREF
pin. The DAC output buffer amplifier features a true rail-to-rail
output stage implementation. This means that unloaded, each
output is capable of swinging to within less than 100 mV of
both AVDD and ground. Moreover, the DAC’s linearity specifica-
tion (when driving a 10 kΩ resistive load to ground) is guaranteed
through the full transfer function except Codes 0 to 100, and, in
0 V-to-AVDD mode only, Codes 3995 to 4095. Linearity degrada-
tion near ground and VDD is caused by saturation of the output
amplifier, and a general representation of its effects (neglecting
offset and gain error) is illustrated in Figure 43. The dotted line
in Figure 43 indicates the ideal transfer function, and the solid
line represents what the transfer function might look like with
endpoint nonlinearities due to saturation of the output amplifier.
Note that Figure 43 represents a transfer function in 0 V-to-VDD
mode only. In 0 V-to-VREF mode (with VREF < VDD), the lower
nonlinearity would be similar, but the upper portion of the
transfer function would follow the ideal line right to the end
(VREF in this case, not VDD), showing no signs of endpoint
linearity errors.

Rev. 0 | Page 40 of 88
The endpoint nonlinearities illustrated in Figure 43 become
worse as a function of output loading. Most of the parts
specifications assume a 10 kΩ resistive load to ground at the
DAC output. As the output is forced to source or sink more
current, the nonlinear regions at the top or bottom (respectively)
of Figure 43 become larger. Larger current demands can sig-
nificantly limit output voltage swing. Figure 44 and Figure 45
illustrate this behavior. Note that the upper trace in each of
these figures is valid only for an output range selection of
0 V-to-AVDD. In 0 V-to-VREF mode, DAC loading does not cause
high-side voltage drops as long as the reference voltage remains
below the upper trace in the corresponding figure. For example,
if AVDD = 3 V and VREF = 2.5 V, the high-side voltage is not be
affected by loads less than 5 mA. But somewhere around 7 mA,
the upper curve in Figure 45 drops below 2.5 V (VREF), indicating
that at these higher currents the output is not capable of
reaching VREF.
To reduce the effects of the saturation of the output amplifier at
values close to ground and to give reduced offset and gain errors,
the internal buffer can be bypassed. This is done by setting the
DBUF bit in the CFG841/CFG842 register. This allows a full
rail-to-rail output from the DAC, which should then be buffered
externally using a dual-supply op amp in order to get a rail-to-
rail output. This external buffer should be located as close as
physically possible to the DAC output pin on the PCB. Note that
the unbuffered mode works only in the 0 V to VREF range.
To drive significant loads with the DAC outputs, external
buffering may be required (even with the internal buffer
enabled), as illustrated in Figure 46. Table 11 lists some
recommended op amps.

The DAC output buffer also features a high impedance disable
function. In the chips default power-on state, both DACs are
disabled, and their outputs are in a high impedance state (or
three-state) where they remain inactive until enabled in
software. This means that if a zero output is desired during
power-up or power-down transient conditions, then a pull-
down resistor must be added to each DAC output. Assuming
this resistor is in place, the DAC outputs remain at ground
potential whenever the DAC is disabled.

ON-CHIP PLL
The ADuC842 and ADuC843 are intended for use with a
32.768 kHz watch crystal. A PLL locks onto a multiple (512) of
this to provide a stable 16.78 MHz clock for the system. The
ADuC841 operates directly from an external crystal. The core
can operate at this frequency or at binary submultiples of it to
allow power saving in cases where maximum core performance
is not required. The default core clock is the PLL clock divided
by 8 or 2.097152 MHz. The ADC clocks are also derived from
the PLL clock, with the modulator rate being the same as the
crystal oscillator frequency. The preceding choice of frequencies
ensures that the modulators and the core are synchronous,
regardless of the core clock rate. The PLL control register is
PLLCON.
At 5 V the core clock can be set to a maximum of 16.78 MHz,
while at 3 V the maximum core clock setting is 8.38 MHz. The
CD bits should not be set to 0 on a 3 V part.
Note that on the ADuC841, changing the CD bits in PLLCON
causes the core speed to change. The core speed is crystal freq/
2CD. The other bits in PLLCON are reserved in the case of the
ADuC841 and should be written with 0.

PULSE-WIDTH MODULATOR (PWM)
The PWM on the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 is a highly
flexible PWM offering programmable resolution and an input
clock, and can be configured for any one of six different modes
of operation. Two of these modes allow the PWM to be config-
ured as a ∑-∆ DAC with up to 16 bits of resolution. A block
diagram of the PWM is shown in Figure 47. Note the PWM
clocks sources are different for the ADuC841, and are given in
Table 17.

Figure 47. PWM Block Diagram
The PWM uses five SFRs: the control SFR (PWMCON) and
four data SFRs (PWM0H, PWM0L, PWM1H, and PWM1L).
PWMCON, as described in the following sections, controls the
different modes of operation of the PWM as well as the PWM
clock frequency.
PWM0H/L and PWM1H/L are the data registers that deter-
mine the duty cycles of the PWM outputs. The output pins that
the PWM uses are determined by the CFG841/CFG842 register,
and can be either P2.6 and P2.7 or P3.4 and P3.3. In this section
of the data sheet, it is assumed that P2.6 and P2.7 are selected as
the PWM outputs.
To use the PWM user software, first write to PWMCON to
select the PWM mode of operation and the PWM input clock.
Writing to PWMCON also resets the PWM counter. In any of
the 16-bit modes of operation (Modes 1, 3, 4, 6), user software
should write to the PWM0L or PWM1L SFRs first. This value is
written to a hidden SFR. Writing to the PWM0H or PWM1H
SFRs updates both the PWMxH and the PWMxL SFRs but does
not change the outputs until the end of the PWM cycle in
progress. The values written to these 16-bit registers are then
used in the next PWM cycle.

PWM Modes of Operation
Mode 0: PWM Disabled
The PWM is disabled allowing P2.6 and P2.7 to be used as
normal.
Mode 1: Single Variable Resolution PWM
In Mode 1, both the pulse length and the cycle time (period) are
programmable in user code, allowing the resolution of the
PWM to be variable.
PWM1H/L sets the period of the output waveform. Reducing
PWM1H/L reduces the resolution of the PWM output but
increases the maximum output rate of the PWM. For example,
setting PWM1H/L to 65536 gives a 16-bit PWM with a maxi-
mum output rate of 266 Hz (16.777 MHz/65536). Setting
PWM1H/L to 4096 gives a 12-bit PWM with a maximum
output rate of 4096 Hz (16.777 MHz/4096).
PWM0H/L sets the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform, as
shown in Figure 48.

Mode 2: Twin 8-Bit PWM
In Mode 2, the duty cycle of the PWM outputs and the resolu-
tion of the PWM outputs are both programmable. The maximum
resolution of the PWM output is 8 bits.
PWM1L sets the period for both PWM outputs. Typically, this is
set to 255 (FFH) to give an 8-bit PWM, although it is possible to
reduce this as necessary. A value of 100 could be loaded here to
give a percentage PWM, i.e., the PWM is accurate to 1%.
The outputs of the PWM at P2.6 and P2.7 are shown in Figure 49.
As can be seen, the output of PWM0 (P2.6) goes low when the
PWM counter equals PWM0L. The output of PWM1 (P2.7)
goes high when the PWM counter equals PWM1H and goes
low again when the PWM counter equals PWM0H. Setting
PWM1H to 0 ensures that both PWM outputs start simultaneously.

Mode 3: Twin 16-Bit PWM
In Mode 3, the PWM counter is fixed to count from 0 to 65536,
giving a fixed 16-bit PWM. Operating from the 16.777 MHz
core clock results in a PWM output rate of 256 Hz. The duty
cycle of the PWM outputs at P2.6 and P2.7 is independently
programmable.
As shown in Figure 50, while the PWM counter is less than
PWM0H/L, the output of PWM0 (P2.6) is high. Once the PWM
counter equals PWM0H/L, PWM0 (P2.6) goes low and remains
low until the PWM counter rolls over.
Similarly, while the PWM counter is less than PWM1H/L, the
output of PWM1 (P2.7) is high. Once the PWM counter equals
PWM1H/L, PWM1 (P2.7) goes low and remains low until the
PWM counter rolls over.
In this mode, both PWM outputs are synchronized, i.e., once
the PWM counter rolls over to 0, both PWM0 (P2.6) and
PWM1 go high.

Mode 4: Dual NRZ 16-Bit ∑-∆ DAC
Mode 4 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a
-∆ DAC. Typically, this mode is used with the PWM clock
equal to 16.777216 MHz. In this mode, P2.6 and P2.7 are
updated every PWM clock (60 ns in the case of 16 MHz). Over
any 65536 cycles (16-bit PWM) PWM0 (P2.6) is high for
PWM0H/L cycles and low for (65536 – PWM0H/L) cycles.
Similarly, PWM1 (P2.7) is high for PWM1H/L cycles and low
for (65536 – PWM1H/L) cycles.
For example, if PWM1H is set to 4010H (slightly above one
quarter of FS), then typically P2.7 will be low for three clocks
and high for one clock (each clock is approximately 60 ns). Over
every 65536 clocks, the PWM compensates for the fact that the
output should be slightly above one quarter of full scale by
having a high cycle followed by only two low cycles.

For faster DAC outputs (at lower resolution), write 0s to the
LSBs that are not required. If, for example, only 12-bit perform-
ance is required, write 0s to the four LSBs. This means that a 12-bit
accurate -∆ DAC output can occur at 4.096 kHz. Similarly
writing 0s to the 8 LSBs gives an 8-bit accurate -∆ DAC output
at 65 kHz.
Mode 5: Dual 8-Bit PWM
In Mode 5, the duty cycle of the PWM outputs and the resolu-
tion of the PWM outputs are individually programmable. The
maximum resolution of the PWM output is 8 bits. The output
resolution is set by the PWM1L and PWM1H SFRs for the P2.6
and P2.7 outputs, respectively. PWM0L and PWM0H sets the
duty cycles of the PWM outputs at P2.6 and P2.7, respectively.
Both PWMs have the same clock source and clock divider.

Mode 6: Dual RZ 16-Bit ∑-∆ DAC
Mode 6 provides a high speed PWM output similar to that of a
-∆ DAC. Mode 6 operates very similarly to Mode 4. However,
the key difference is that Mode 6 provides return-to-zero (RZ)
-∆ DAC output. Mode 4 provides non-return-to-zero -∆
DAC outputs. The RZ mode ensures that any difference in the
rise and fall times will not affect the -∆ DAC INL. However,
the RZ mode halves the dynamic range of the -∆ DAC outputs
from 0 VAVDD down to 0 V–AVDD/2. For best results, this mode
should be used with a PWM clock divider of 4.
If PWM1H is set to 4010H (slightly above one quarter of FS),
typically P2.7 will be low for three full clocks (3 × 60 ns), high
for half a clock (30 ns), and then low again for half a clock
(30 ns) before repeating itself. Over every 65536 clocks, the
PWM will compensate for the fact that the output should be
slightly above one quarter of full scale by leaving the output
high for two half clocks in four. The rate at which this happens
depends on the value and degree of compensation required.

SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE (SPI)
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 integrate a complete hard-
ware serial peripheral interface on-chip. SPI is an industry-
standard synchronous serial interface that allows 8 bits of data
to be synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously,
i.e., full duplex. Note that the SPI pins are shared with the I2C
pins. Therefore, the user can enable only one interface or the
other on these pins at any given time (see SPE in Table 18). SPI
can be operated at the same time as the I2C interface if the
MSPI bit in CFG841/CFG8842 is set. This moves the SPI
outputs (MISO, MOSI, and SCLOCK) to P3.3, P3.4, and P3.5,
respectively). The SPI port can be configured for master or slave
operation and typically consists of four pins, described in the
following sections.
MISO (Master In, Slave Out Data I/O Pin)
The MISO pin is configured as an input line in master mode
and as an output line in slave mode. The MISO line on the
master (data in) should be connected to the MISO line in the
slave device (data out). The data is transferred as byte-wide
(8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
MOSI (Master Out, Slave In Pin)
The MOSI pin is configured as an output line in master mode
and as an input line in slave mode. The MOSI line on the master
(data out) should be connected to the MOSI line in the slave
device (data in). The data is transferred as byte-wide (8-bit)
serial data, MSB first.
SCLOCK (Serial Clock I/O Pin)
The master serial clock (SCLOCK) is used to synchronize the
data being transmitted and received through the MOSI and
MISO data lines. A single data bit is transmitted and received in
each SCLOCK period. Therefore, a byte is transmitted/received
after eight SCLOCK periods. The SCLOCK pin is configured as
an output in master mode and as an input in slave mode. In
master mode, the bit rate, polarity, and phase of the clock are
controlled by the CPOL, CPHA, SPR0, and SPR1 bits in the
SPICON SFR (see Table 18). In slave mode, the SPICON register
must be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and
CPOL) of the expected input clock. In both master and slave
modes, the data is transmitted on one edge of the SCLOCK
signal and sampled on the other. It is important, therefore, that
CPHA and CPOL are configured the same for the master and
slave devices.
SS (Slave Select Input Pin)
The SS pin is shared with the ADC5 input. To configure this pin
as a digital input, the bit must be cleared, e.g., CLR P1.5. This
line is active low. Data is received or transmitted in slave mode
only when the SS pin is low, allowing the parts to be used in
single-master, multislave SPI configurations. If CPHA = 1, the
SS input may be permanently pulled low. If CPHA = 0, the SS
input must be driven low before the first bit in a byte-wide
transmission or reception and return high again after the last bit
in that byte-wide transmission or reception. In SPI slave mode,
the logic level on the external SS pin can be read via the SPR0
bit in the SPICON SFR. The SFR registers, described in the
following tables, are used to control the SPI interface.

SPI Interface—Master Mode
In master mode, the SCLOCK pin is always an output and
generates a burst of eight clocks whenever user code writes to
the SPIDAT register. The SCLOCK bit rate is determined by
SPR0 and SPR1 in SPICON. Also note that the SS pin is not
used in master mode. If the parts need to assert the SS pin on an
external slave device, a port digital output pin should be used.
In master mode, a byte transmission or reception is initiated by
a write to SPIDAT. Eight clock periods are generated via the
SCLOCK pin and the SPIDAT byte being transmitted via MOSI.
With each SCLOCK period, a data bit is also sampled via MISO.
After eight clocks, the transmitted byte will be completely
transmitted, and the input byte will be waiting in the input shift
register. The ISPI flag will be set automatically, and an interrupt
will occur if enabled. The value in the shift register will be
latched into SPIDAT.
SPI Interface—Slave Mode
In slave mode, SCLOCK is an input. The SS pin must also be
driven low externally during the byte communication. Trans-
mission is also initiated by a write to SPIDAT. In slave mode, a
data bit is transmitted via MISO, and a data bit is received via
MOSI through each input SCLOCK period. After eight clocks,
the transmitted byte will be completely transmitted, and the
input byte will be waiting in the input shift register. The ISPI
flag will be set automatically, and an interrupt will occur if
enabled. The value in the shift register will be latched into
SPIDAT only when the transmission/reception of a byte has
been completed. The end of transmission occurs after the
eighth clock has been received if CPHA = 1, or when SS returns
high if CPHA = 0.

I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 support a fully licensed
I2C serial interface. The I2C interface is implemented as a full
hardware slave and software master. SDATA is the data I/O pin,
and SCLOCK is the serial clock. These two pins are shared with
the MOSI and SCLOCK pins of the on-chip SPI interface. To
enable the I2C interface, the SPI interface must be turned off
(see SPE in Table 18) or the SPI interface must be moved to
P3.3, P3.4, and P3.5 via the CFG841.1/CFG842.1 bit. Application
Note uC001 describes the operation of this interface as imple-
mented and is available from the MicroConverter website at
www.analog.com/microconverter.
Three SFRs are used to control the I2C interface and are

The main features of the MicroConverter I2C interface are
Only two bus lines are required: a serial data line (SDATA)
and a serial clock line (SCLOCK).
An I2C master can communicate with multiple slave
devices. Because each slave device has a unique 7-bit
address, single master/slave relationships can exist at all
times even in a multislave environment.
Ability to respond to four separate addresses when
operating in slave mode.
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
Rev. 0 | Page 50 of 88
An I2C slave can respond to repeated start conditions
without a stop bit in between. This allows a master to
change direction of transfer without giving up the bus.
Note that the repeated start is detected only when a slave
has previously been configured as a receiver.
On-chip filtering rejects <50 ns spikes on the SDATA and
the SCLOCK lines to preserve data integrity.

Figure 55. Typical I2C System
Software Master Mode
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 can be used as I2C master
devices by configuring the I2C peripheral in master mode and
writing software to output the data bit by bit. This is referred to
as a software master. Master mode is enabled by setting the I2CM
bit in the I2CCON register.
To transmit data on the SDATA line, MDE must be set to enable
the output driver on the SDATA pin. If MDE is set, the SDATA
pin is pulled high or low depending on whether the MDO bit is
set or cleared. MCO controls the SCLOCK pin and is always
configured as an output in master mode. In master mode, the
SCLOCK pin is pulled high or low depending on the whether
MCO is set or cleared.
To receive data, MDE must be cleared to disable the output
driver on SDATA. Software must provide the clocks by toggling
the MCO bit and reading the SDATA pin via the MDI bit. If
MDE is cleared, MDI can be used to read the SDATA pin. The
value of the SDATA pin is latched into MDI on a rising edge of
SCLOCK. MDI is set if the SDATA pin was high on the last
rising edge of SCLOCK. MDI is clear if the SDATA pin was low
on the last rising edge of SCLOCK.
Software must control MDO, MCO, and MDE appropriately to
generate the start condition, slave address, acknowledge bits,
data bytes, and stop conditions. These functions are described
in Application Note uC001.
Hardware Slave Mode
After reset, the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 default to
hardware slave mode. The I2C interface is enabled by clearing
the SPE bit in SPICON (this is not necessary if the MSPI bit is
set). Slave mode is enabled by clearing the I2CM bit in I2CCON.
The parts have a full hardware slave. In slave mode, the I2C
address is stored in the I2CADD register. Data received or to be
transmitted is stored in the I2CDAT register.
Once enabled in I2C slave mode, the slave controller waits for a
start condition. If the part detects a valid start condition, fol-
lowed by a valid address, followed by the R/W bit, the I2CI
interrupt bit is automatically set by hardware. The I2C peripheral
generates a core interrupt only if the user has pre-configured
the I2C interrupt enable bit in the IEIP2 SFR as well as the
global interrupt bit, EA, in the IE SFR. i.e.,
;Enabling I2C Interrupts for the ADuC842
MOV IEIP2,#01h ; enable I2C interrupt
SETB EA
An autoclear of the I2CI bit is implemented on the parts so that
this bit is cleared automatically on a read or write access to the
I2CDAT SFR.
MOV I2CDAT, A ; I2CI auto-cleared
MOV A, I2CDAT ; I2CI auto-cleared
If for any reason the user tries to clear the interrupt more than
once, i.e., access the data SFR more than once per interrupt, then
the I2C controller will halt. The interface will then have to be
reset using the I2CRS bit.
The user can choose to poll the I2CI bit or to enable the inter-
rupt. In the case of the interrupt, the PC counter vectors to
003BH at the end of each complete byte. For the first byte, when
the user gets to the I2CI ISR, the 7-bit address and the R/W bit
appear in the I2CDAT SFR.
The I2CTX bit contains the R/W bit sent from the master. If
I2CTX is set, the master is ready to receive a byte. Therefore the
slave will transmit data by writing to the I2CDAT register. If
I2CTX is cleared, the master is ready to transmit a byte. There-
fore the slave will receive a serial byte. Software can interrogate
the state of I2CTX to determine whether it should write to or
read from I2CDAT.
Once the part has received a valid address, hardware holds
SCLOCK low until the I2CI bit is cleared by software. This
allows the master to wait for the slave to be ready before
transmitting the clocks for the next byte.
The I2CI interrupt bit is set every time a complete data byte is
received or transmitted, provided it is followed by a valid ACK.
If the byte is followed by a NACK, an interrupt is not generated.
The part continues to issue interrupts for each complete data
byte transferred until a stop condition is received or the inter-
face is reset.
When a stop condition is received, the interface resets to a state
in which it is waiting to be addressed (idle). Similarly, if the
interface receives a NACK at the end of a sequence, it also
returns to the default idle state. The I2CRS bit can be used to
reset the I2C interface. This bit can be used to force the interface
back to the default idle state.

DUAL DATA POINTER
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 incorporate two data
pointers. The second data pointer is a shadow data pointer and
is selected via the data pointer control SFR (DPCON). DPCON
also includes some useful features such as automatic hardware
post-increment and post-decrement as well as automatic data
pointer toggle. DPCON is described in Table 21.

Set by the user to select the shadow data pointer. This means that the contents of a separate 24-bit register appears in

POWER SUPPLY MONITOR
As its name suggests, the power supply monitor, once enabled,
monitors the DVDD supply on the ADuC841/ADuC842/
ADuC843. It indicates when any of the supply pins drops below
one of two user selectable voltage trip points, 2.93 V and 3.08 V.
For correct operation of the power supply monitor function,
AVDD must be equal to or greater than 2.7 V. Monitor function is
controlled via the PSMCON SFR. If enabled via the IEIP2 SFR,
the monitor interrupts the core using the PSMI bit in the
PSMCON SFR. This bit is not cleared until the failing power
supply has returned above the trip point for at least 250 ms.
This monitor function allows the user to save working registers
to avoid possible data loss due to the low supply condition, and
also ensures that normal code execution does not resume until a
safe supply level has been well established. The supply monitor
is also protected against spurious glitches triggering the
interrupt circuit.
Note that the 5 V part has an internal POR trip level of 4.5 V,
which means that there are no usable PSM levels on the 5 V
part. The 3 V part has a POR trip level of 2.45 V, allowing all
PSM trip points to be used.

5 PSMI Power Supply Monitor Interrupt Bit.
This bit is set high by the MicroConverter if either CMPA or CMPD is low, indicating low analog or digital supply. The
PSMI bit can be used to interrupt the processor. Once CMPD and/or CMPA return (and remain) high, a 250 ms
counter is started. When this counter times out, the PSMI interrupt is cleared. PSMI can also be written by the user.
However, if either comparator output is low, it is not possible for the user to clear PSMI.

WATCHDOG TIMER
The purpose of the watchdog timer is to generate a device reset
or interrupt within a reasonable amount of time if the ADuC841/
ADuC842/ADuC843 enter an erroneous state, possibly due to a
programming error or electrical noise. The watchdog function
can be disabled by clearing the WDE (watchdog enable) bit in
the watchdog control (WDCON) SFR. When enabled, the
watchdog circuit generates a system reset or interrupt (WDS) if
the user program fails to set the watchdog (WDE) bit within a
predetermined amount of time (see PRE3-0 bits in Table 23.
The watchdog timer is clocked directly from the 32 kHz
external crystal on the ADuC842/ADuC843. On the ADuC841,
the watchdog timer is clocked by an internal R/C oscillator at
32 kHz ±10%. The WDCON SFR can be written only by user
software if the double write sequence described in WDWR
below is initiated on every write access to the WDCON SFR.

3 WDIR Watchdog Interrupt Response Enable Bit.
If this bit is set by the user, the watchdog generates an interrupt response instead of a system reset when the
watchdog timeout period has expired. This interrupt is not disabled by the CLR EA instruction, and it is also a fixed,
high priority interrupt. If the watchdog is not being used to monitor the system, it can be used alternatively as a
timer. The prescaler is used to set the timeout period in which an interrupt will be generated.
2 WDS Watchdog Status Bit.
Set by the watchdog controller to indicate that a watchdog timeout has occurred.
Cleared by writing a 0 or by an external hardware reset. It is not cleared by a watchdog reset.
1 WDE Watchdog Enable Bit.
Set by the user to enable the watchdog and clear its counters. If this bit is not set by the user within the watchdog
timeout period, the watchdog generates a reset or interrupt, depending on WDIR.
Cleared under the following conditions: user writes 0, watchdog reset (WDIR = 0); hardware reset; PSM interrupt.
Watchdog Write Enable Bit.
To write data to the WDCON SFR involves a double instruction sequence. The WDWR bit must be set and the very
next instruction must be a write instruction to the WDCON SFR.
For example:
CLR EA ;disable interrupts while writing
;to WDT
SETB WDWR ;allow write to WDCON
MOV WDCON,#72H ;enable WDT for 2.0s timeout
0 WDWR
SETB EA ;enable interrupts again (if rqd)

TIME INTERVAL COUNTER (TIC)
A TIC is provided on-chip for counting longer intervals than
the standard 8051 compatible timers are capable of. The TIC is
capable of timeout intervals ranging from 1/128 second to 255
hours. Furthermore, this counter is clocked by the external
32.768 kHz crystal rather than by the core clock, and it has the
ability to remain active in power-down mode and time long
power-down intervals. This has obvious applications for remote
battery-powered sensors where regular widely spaced readings
are required.
Six SFRs are associated with the time interval counter, TIMECON
being its control register. Depending on the configuration of the
IT0 and IT1 bits in TIMECON, the selected time counter regis-
ter overflow clocks the interval counter. When this counter is
equal to the time interval value loaded in the INTVAL SFR, the
TII bit (TIMECON.2) is set and generates an interrupt if enabled.
If the part is in power-down mode, again with TIC interrupt
enabled, the TII bit wakes up the device and resumes code
execution by vectoring directly to the TIC interrupt service
vector address at 0053H. The TIC-related SFRs are described in
Table 24. Note also that the time based SFRs can be written
initially with the current time; the TIC can then be controlled
and accessed by user software. In effect, this facilitates the
implementation of a real-time clock. A block diagram of the
TIC is shown in Figure 56.
The TIC is clocked directly from a 32 kHz external crystal on
the ADuC842/ADuC843 and by the internal 32 kHz ±10% R/C
oscillator on the ADuC841. Due to this, instructions that access
the TIC registers will also be clocked at this speed. The user
should ensure that there is sufficient time between instructions
to these registers to allow them to execute correctly.

8052 COMPATIBLE ON-CHIP PERIPHERALS
This section gives a brief overview of the various secondary
peripheral circuits that are also available to the user on-chip.
These remaining functions are mostly 8052 compatible (with a
few additional features) and are controlled via standard 8052
SFR bit definitions.
Parallel I/O
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 use four input/output
ports to exchange data with external devices. In addition to
performing general-purpose I/O, some ports are capable of
external memory operations while others are multiplexed with
alternate functions for the peripheral features on the device. In
general, when a peripheral is enabled, that pin may not be used
as a general-purpose I/O pin.
Port 0
Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bidirectional I/O port that is
directly controlled via the Port 0 SFR. Port 0 is also the
multiplexed low order address and data bus during accesses to
external program or data memory.
Figure 57 shows a typical bit latch and I/O buffer for a Port 0
port pin. The bit latch (one bit in the port’s SFR) is represented
as a Type D flip-flop, which clocks in a value from the internal
bus in response to a write to latch signal from the CPU. The Q
output of the flip-flop is placed on the internal bus in response
to a read latch signal from the CPU. The level of the port pin
itself is placed on the internal bus in response to a read pin
signal from the CPU. Some instructions that read a port activate
the read latch signal, and others activate the read pin signal. See
the Read-Modify-Write Instructions section for details.

Figure 57. Port 0 Bit Latch and I/O Buffer
As shown in Figure 57, the output drivers of Port 0 pins are
switchable to an internal ADDR and ADDR/DATA bus by an
internal control signal for use in external memory accesses.
During external memory accesses, the P0 SFR has 1s written to
it, i.e., all of its bit latches become 1. When accessing external
memory, the control signal in Figure 57 goes high, enabling
push-pull operation of the output pin from the internal address
or data bus (ADDR/DATA line). Therefore, no external pull-ups
are required on Port 0 for it to access external memory.
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 0 pins that have 1s writ-
ten to them via the Port 0 SFR are configured as open-drain and
will therefore float. In this state, Port 0 pins can be used as high
impedance inputs. This is represented in Figure 57 by the NAND
gate whose output remains high as long as the control signal is
low, thereby disabling the top FET. External pull-up resistors are
therefore required when Port 0 pins are used as general-purpose
outputs. Port 0 pins with 0s written to them drive a logic low
output voltage (VOL) and are capable of sinking 1.6 mA.
Port 1
Port 1 is also an 8-bit port directly controlled via the P1 SFR.
Port 1 digital output capability is not supported on this device.
Port 1 pins can be configured as digital inputs or analog inputs.
By (power-on) default, these pins are configured as analog
inputs, i.e., 1 written in the corresponding Port 1 register bit. To
configure any of these pins as digital inputs, the user should
write a 0 to these port bits to configure the corresponding pin as
a high impedance digital input. These pins also have various
secondary functions as described in Table 25.

Port 2
Port 2 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-up resistors
directly controlled via the P2 SFR. Port 2 also emits the high-
order address bytes during fetches from external program
memory, and middle and high order address bytes during
accesses to the 24-bit external data memory space.
As shown in Figure 59, the output drivers of Port 2 are switch-
able to an internal ADDR and ADDR/DATA bus by an internal
control signal for use in external memory accesses (as for
Port 0). In external memory addressing mode (CONTROL = 1),
the port pins feature push-pull operation controlled by the
internal address bus (ADDR line). However, unlike the P0 SFR
during external memory accesses, the P2 SFR remains unchanged.
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
Rev. 0 | Page 58 of 88
In general-purpose I/O port mode, Port 2 pins that have 1s
written to them are pulled high by the internal pull-ups
(Figure 60) and, in that state, can be used as inputs. As inputs,
Port 2 pins being pulled externally low source current because
of the internal pull-up resistors. Port 2 pins with 0s written to
them drive a logic low output voltage (VOL) and are capable of
sinking 1.6 mA.
P2.6 and P2.7 can also be used as PWM outputs. When they are
selected as the PWM outputs via the CFG841/CFG842 SFR, the
PWM outputs overwrite anything written to P2.6 or P2.7.

Port 3 is a bidirectional port with internal pull-ups directly

them are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and, in that state,
can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins being pulled
externally low source current because of the internal pull-ups.
Port 3 pins with 0s written to them will drive a logic low output
voltage (VOL) and are capable of sinking 4 mA. Port 3 pins also
have various secondary functions as described in Table 26. The

corresponding bit latch in the P3 SFR contains a 1. Otherwise,
the port pin is stuck at 0.

Additional Digital I/O
In addition to the port pins, the dedicated SPI/I2C pins (SCLOCK
and SDATA/MOSI) also feature both input and output func-
tions. Their equivalent I/O architectures are illustrated in
Figure 62 and Figure 64, respectively, for SPI operation and in
Figure 63 and Figure 65 for I2C operation. Notice that in I2C
mode (SPE = 0), the strong pull-up FET (Q1) is disabled,
leaving only a weak pull-up (Q2) present. By contrast, in SPI
mode (SPE = 1) the strong pull-up FET (Q1) is controlled
directly by SPI hardware, giving the pin push-pull capability.
In I2C mode (SPE = 0), two pull-down FETs (Q3 and Q4)
operate in parallel to provide an extra 60% or 70% of current
sinking capability. In SPI mode (SPE = 1), however, only one of
the pull-down FETs (Q3) operates on each pin, resulting in sink
capabilities identical to that of Port 0 and Port 2 pins. On the
input path of SCLOCK, notice that a Schmitt trigger conditions
the signal going to the SPI hardware to prevent false triggers
(double triggers) on slow incoming edges. For incoming signals
from the SCLOCK and SDATA pins going to I2C hardware, a
filter conditions the signals to reject glitches of up to 50 ns in
duration.
Notice also that direct access to the SCLOCK and SDATA/
MOSI pins is afforded through the SFR interface in I2C master
mode. Therefore, if you are not using the SPI or I2C functions,
you can use these two pins to give additional high current
digital outputs.

Read-Modify-Write Instructions
Some 8051 instructions that read a port read the latch while
others read the pin. The instructions that read the latch rather
than the pins are the ones that read a value, possibly change it,
and then rewrite it to the latch. These are called read-modify-
write instructions, which are listed below. When the destination
operand is a port or a port bit, these instructions read the latch
rather than the pin.
Table 27. Read-Write-Modify Instructions
Instruction Description
ANL Logical AND, e.g., ANL P1, A
ORL (Logical OR, e.g., ORL P2, A
XRL (Logical EX-OR, e.g., XRL P3, A
JBC Jump if Bit = 1 and clear bit, e.g., JBC P1.1,
LABEL
CPL Complement bit, e.g., CPL P3.0
INC Increment, e.g., INC P2
DEC Decrement, e.g., DEC P2
DJNZ Decrement and Jump if Not Zero, e.g., DJNZ
P3, LABEL
MOV PX.Y, C1 Move Carry to Bit Y of Port X
CLR PX.Y1 Clear Bit Y of Port X
SETB PX.Y1 Set Bit Y of Port X
1 These instructions read the port byte (all 8 bits), modify the addressed bit,
and then write the new byte back to the latch.
Read-modify-write instructions are directed to the latch rather
than to the pin to avoid a possible misinterpretation of the
voltage level of a pin. For example, a port pin might be used to
drive the base of a transistor. When 1 is written to the bit, the
transistor is turned on. If the CPU then reads the same port bit
at the pin rather than the latch, it reads the base voltage of the
transistor and interprets it as a Logic 0. Reading the latch rather
than the pin returns the correct value of 1.

Timers/Counters
The ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 have three 16-bit timer/
counters: Timer 0, Timer 1, and Timer 2. The timer/counter
hardware is included on-chip to relieve the processor core of the
overhead inherent in implementing timer/counter functionality
in software. Each timer/counter consists of two 8-bit registers:
THx and TLx (x = 0, 1, and 2). All three can be configured to
operate either as timers or as event counters.
In timer function, the TLx register is incremented every
machine cycle. Thus, one can think of it as counting machine
cycles. Since a machine cycle on a single-cycle core consists of
one core clock period, the maximum count rate is the core clock
frequency.
In counter function, the TLx register is incremented by a 1-to-0
transition at its corresponding external input pin: T0, T1, or T2.
When the samples show a high in one cycle and a low in the
next cycle, the count is incremented. Since it takes two machine
cycles (two core clock periods) to recognize a 1-to-0 transition,
the maximum count rate is half the core clock frequency.
There are no restrictions on the duty cycle of the external input
signal, but to ensure that a given level is sampled at least once
before it changes, it must be held for a minimum of one full
machine cycle. User configuration and control of all timer
operating modes is achieved via three SFRs:
TMOD, TCON Control and configuration for
Timers 0 and 1.
T2CON Control and configuration for
Timer 2.

TIMER/COUNTER 0 AND 1 OPERATING MODES
The following sections describe the operating modes for
Timer/Counters 0 and 1. Unless otherwise noted, assume that
these modes of operation are the same for both Timer 0 and
Timer 1.
Mode 0 (13-Bit Timer/Counter)
Mode 0 configures an 8-bit timer/counter. Figure 66 shows
Mode 0 operation. Note that the divide-by-12 prescaler is not
present on the single-cycle core.

Figure 66. Timer/Counter 0, Mode 0
In this mode, the timer register is configured as a 13-bit register.
As the count rolls over from all 1s to all 0s, it sets the timer
overflow flag, TF0. TF0 can then be used to request an interrupt.
The counted input is enabled to the timer when TR0 = 1 and
either Gate = 0 or INT0 = 1. Setting Gate = 1 allows the timer to
be controlled by external input INT0 to facilitate pulse-width
measurements. TR0 is a control bit in the special function
register TCON; Gate is in TMOD. The 13-bit register consists of
all 8 bits of TH0 and the lower five bits of TL0. The upper 3 bits
of TL0 are indeterminate and should be ignored. Setting the run
flag (TR0) does not clear the registers.
Mode 1 (16-Bit Timer/Counter)
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that the Mode 1 timer
register is running with all 16 bits. Mode 1 is shown in
Figure 67.

which is preset by software. The reload leaves TH0 unchanged.

Mode 3 (Two 8-Bit Timer/Counters)
Mode 3 has different effects on Timer 0 and Timer 1. Timer 1 in
Mode 3 simply holds its count. The effect is the same as setting
TR1 = 0. Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two
separate counters. This configuration is shown in Figure 69. TL0
uses the Timer 0 control bits: C/T, Gate, TR0, INT0, and TF0.
TH0 is locked into a timer function (counting machine cycles)
and takes over the use of TR1 and TF1 from Timer 1. Thus,
TH0 now controls the Timer 1 interrupt. Mode 3 is provided for
applications requiring an extra 8-bit timer or counter.
When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned on and off
by switching it out of and into its own Mode 3, or it can still be
used by the serial interface as a baud rate generator. In fact, it
can be used in any application not requiring an interrupt from
Timer 1 itself.

TIMER/COUNTER OPERATING MODES
The following sections describe the operating modes for
Timer/Counter 2. The operating modes are selected by bits in
the T2CON SFR, as shown in Table 31.
Table 31. T2CON Operating Modes
RCLK (or) TCLK CAP2 TR2 Mode
0 0 1 16-Bit Autoreload
0 1 1 16-Bit Capture
1 X 1 Baud Rate
X X 0 OFF
16-Bit Autoreload Mode
Autoreload mode has two options that are selected by Bit EXEN2
in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, then when Timer 2 rolls over, it not
only sets TF2 but also causes the Timer 2 registers to be
reloaded with the 16-bit value in registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H,
which are preset by software. If EXEN2 = 1, then Timer 2 still
performs the above, but with the added feature that a 1-to-0
transition at external input T2EX will also trigger the 16-bit
reload and set EXF2. Autoreload mode is illustrated in Figure 70.
16-Bit Capture Mode
Capture mode also has two options that are selected by bit
EXEN2 in T2CON. If EXEN2 = 0, then Timer 2 is a 16-bit timer
or counter that, upon overflowing, sets Bit TF2, the Timer 2
overflow bit, which can be used to generate an interrupt. If
EXEN2 = 1, then Timer 2 still performs the above, but a l-to-0
transition on external input T2EX causes the current value in
the Timer 2 registers, TL2 and TH2, to be captured into
registers RCAP2L and RCAP2H, respectively. In addition, the
transition at T2EX causes Bit EXF2 in T2CON to be set, and
EXF2, like TF2, can generate an interrupt. Capture mode is
illustrated in Figure 71. The baud rate generator mode is
selected by RCLK = 1 and/or TCLK = 1.
In either case, if Timer 2 is being used to generate the baud rate,
the TF2 interrupt flag will not occur. Therefore, Timer 2
interrupts will not occur, so they do not have to be disabled. In
this mode, the EXF2 flag, however, can still cause interrupts,
which can be used as a third external interrupt. Baud rate
generation is described as part of the UART serial port
operation in the following section.

UART SERIAL INTERFACE
The serial port is full-duplex, meaning it can transmit and
receive simultaneously. It is also receive-buffered, meaning it
can begin receiving a second byte before a previously received
byte has been read from the receive register. However, if the first
byte still has not been read by the time reception of the second
byte is complete, the first byte is lost. The physical interface to
the serial data network is via Pins RxD(P3.0) and TxD(P3.1),
while the SFR interface to the UART is comprised of SBUF and
SCON, as described below.
SBUF
Both the serial port receive and transmit registers are accessed
through the SBUF SFR (SFR address = 99H). Writing to SBUF
loads the transmit register, and reading SBUF accesses a
physically separate receive register.

7 SM0 UART Serial Mode Select Bits.
These bits select the serial port operating mode as follows:
SM0 SM1 Selected Operating Mode.
0 0 Mode 0: Shift Register, fixed baud rate (Core_Clk/2).
0 1 Mode 1: 8-bit UART, variable baud rate.
1 0 Mode 2: 9-bit UART, fixed baud rate (Core_Clk/32) or (Core_Clk/16).
6 SM1
1 1 Mode 3: 9-bit UART, variable baud rate.
5 SM2 Multiprocessor Communication Enable Bit.
Enables multiprocessor communication in Modes 2 and 3.
In Mode 0, SM2 must be cleared.
In Mode 1, if SM2 is set, RI is not activated if a valid stop bit was not received. If SM2 is cleared, RI is set as soon as the
byte of data has been received.
In Modes 2 or 3, if SM2 is set, RI is not activated if the received 9th data bit in RB8 is 0.
If SM2 is cleared, RI is set as soon as the byte of data has been received.
4 REN Serial Port Receive Enable Bit.
Set by user software to enable serial port reception.
Cleared by user software to disable serial port reception.
3 TB8 Serial Port Transmit (Bit 9).
The data loaded into TB8 is the 9th data bit transmitted in Modes 2 and 3.
2 RB8 Serial Port Receiver Bit 9.
The 9th data bit received in Modes 2 and 3 is latched into RB8. For Mode 1, the stop bit is latched into RB8.
1 TI Serial Port Transmit Interrupt Flag.
Set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit in Mode 0, or at the beginning of the stop bit in Modes 1, 2, and 3.
TI must be cleared by user software.
0 RI Serial Port Receive Interrupt Flag.
Set by hardware at the end of the 8th bit in Mode 0, or halfway through the stop bit in Modes 1, 2, and 3.
RI must be cleared by software.

Mode 0: 8-Bit Shift Register Mode
Mode 0 is selected by clearing both the SM0 and SM1 bits in the
SFR SCON. Serial data enters and exits through RxD. TxD out-
puts the shift clock. Eight data bits are transmitted or received.
Transmission is initiated by any instruction that writes to SBUF.
The data is shifted out of the RxD line. The 8 bits are transmitted
with the least significant bit (LSB) first.
Reception is initiated when the receive enable bit (REN) is 1
and the receive interrupt bit (RI) is 0. When RI is cleared, the
data is clocked into the RxD line, and the clock pulses are
output from the TxD line.
Mode 1: 8-Bit UART, Variable Baud Rate
Mode 1 is selected by clearing SM0 and setting SM1. Each data
byte (LSB first) is preceded by a start bit (0) and followed by a
stop bit (1). Therefore, 10 bits are transmitted on TxD or are
received on RxD. The baud rate is set by the Timer 1 or Timer 2
overflow rate, or a combination of the two (one for transmission
and the other for reception).
Transmission is initiated by writing to SBUF. The write to SBUF
signal also loads a 1 (stop bit) into the 9th bit position of the
transmit shift register. The data is output bit by bit until the stop
bit appears on TxD and the transmit interrupt flag (TI) is
automatically set, as shown in Figure 72.

Figure 72. UART Serial Port Transmission, Mode 1
Reception is initiated when a 1-to-0 transition is detected on
RxD. Assuming a valid start bit is detected, character reception
continues. The start bit is skipped and the 8 data bits are
clocked into the serial port shift register. When all 8 bits have
been clocked in, the following events occur:
The 8 bits in the receive shift register are latched into SBUF.
The 9th bit (stop bit) is clocked into RB8 in SCON.
The receiver interrupt flag (RI) is set.
This is the case if, and only if, all of the following conditions are
met at the time the final shift pulse is generated:
RI = 0
Either SM2 = 0 or SM2 = 1
The received stop bit = 1
If any of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost, and RI is not set.
Mode 2: 9-Bit UART with Fixed Baud Rate
Mode 2 is selected by setting SM0 and clearing SM1. In this
mode, the UART operates in 9-bit mode with a fixed baud rate.
The baud rate is fixed at Core_Clk/32 by default, although by
setting the SMOD bit in PCON, the frequency can be doubled
to Core_Clk/16. Eleven bits are transmitted or received: a start
bit (0), 8 data bits, a programmable 9th bit, and a stop bit (1).
The 9th bit is most often used as a parity bit, although it can be
used for anything, including a 9th data bit if required.
To transmit, the 8 data bits must be written into SBUF. The 9th
bit must be written to TB8 in SCON. When transmission is
initiated, the 8 data bits (from SBUF) are loaded onto the
transmit shift register (LSB first). The contents of TB8 are loaded
into the 9th bit position of the transmit shift register. The
transmission starts at the next valid baud rate clock. The TI flag
is set as soon as the stop bit appears on TxD.
Reception for Mode 2 is similar to that of Mode 1. The 8 data
bytes are input at RxD (LSB first) and loaded onto the receive
shift register. When all 8 bits have been clocked in, the following
events occur:
The 8 bits in the receive shift register are latched into SBUF.
The 9th data bit is latched into RB8 in SCON.
The receiver interrupt flag (RI) is set.
This is the case if, and only if, all of the following conditions are
met at the time the final shift pulse is generated:
RI = 0
Either SM2 = 0 or SM2 = 1
The received stop bit = 1
If any of these conditions is not met, the received frame is
irretrievably lost, and RI is not set.

Rev. 0 | Page 67 of 88
Mode 3: 9-Bit UART with Variable Baud Rate
Mode 3 is selected by setting both SM0 and SM1. In this mode,
the 8051 UART serial port operates in 9-bit mode with a vari-
able baud rate determined by either Timer 1 or Timer 2. The
operation of the 9-bit UART is the same as for Mode 2, but the
baud rate can be varied as for Mode 1.
In all four modes, transmission is initiated by any instruction
that uses SBUF as a destination register. Reception is initiated in
Mode 0 by the condition RI = 0 and REN = 1. Reception is
initiated in the other modes by the incoming start bit if REN = 1.
UART Serial Port Baud Rate Generation
Mode 0 Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate in Mode 0 is fixed.
Mode 0 Baud Rate = (Core Clock Frequency/12)
Mode 2 Baud Rate Generation
The baud rate in Mode 2 depends on the value of the SMOD bit
in the PCON SFR. If SMOD = 0, the baud rate is 1/32 of the
core clock. If SMOD = 1, the baud rate is 1/16 of the core clock:
Mode 2 Baud Rate = (2SMOD/32 × [Core Clock Frequency])
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate Generation
The baud rates in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the over-
flow rate in Timer 1 or Timer 2, or in both (one for transmit
and the other for receive).
Timer 1 Generated Baud Rates
When Timer 1 is used as the baud rate generator, the baud rates
in Modes 1 and 3 are determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate
and the value of SMOD as follows:
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate = (2SMOD/32 × (Timer 1 Overflow Rate)
The Timer 1 interrupt should be disabled in this application.
The timer itself can be configured for either timer or counter
operation, and in any of its three running modes. In the most
typical application, it is configured for timer operation in the
autoreload mode (high nibble of TMOD = 0010 binary). In that
case, the baud rate is given by the formula
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate =
(2SMOD/32) × (Core Clock/ [256 TH1])
Timer 2 Generated Baud Rates
Baud rates can also be generated using Timer 2. Using Timer 2
is similar to using Timer 1 in that the timer must overflow 16
times before a bit is transmitted/received. Because Timer 2 has a
16-bit autoreload mode, a wider range of baud rates is possible
using Timer 2.
Modes 1 and 2 Baud Rate = (1/16) × (Timer 2 Overflow Rate)
Therefore, when Timer 2 is used to generate baud rates, the
timer increments every two clock cycles rather than every core
machine cycle as before. Thus, it increments six times faster
than Timer 1, and therefore baud rates six times faster are possi-
ble. Because Timer 2 has 16-bit autoreload capability, very low
baud rates are still possible.
Timer 2 is selected as the baud rate generator by setting the
TCLK and/or RCLK in T2CON. The baud rates for transmit
and receive can be simultaneously different. Setting RCLK and/
or TCLK puts Timer 2 into its baud rate generator mode as
shown in Figure 73.
In this case, the baud rate is given by the formula
Modes 1 and 3 Baud Rate =
(Core Clock)/(16 × [65536 (RCAP 2H, RCAP 2L)])

Timer 3 Generated Baud Rates
The high integer dividers in a UART block mean that high
speed baud rates are not always possible using some particular
crystals. For example, using a 12 MHz crystal, a baud rate of
115200 is not possible. To address this problem, the part has
added a dedicated baud rate timer (Timer 3) specifically for
generating highly accurate baud rates. Timer 3 can be used
instead of Timer 1 or Timer 2 for generating very accurate high
speed UART baud rates including 115200 and 230400. Timer 3
also allows a much wider range of baud rates to be obtained. In
fact, every desired bit rate from 12 bit/s to 393216 bit/s can be
generated to within an error of ±0.8%. Timer 3 also frees up the
other three timers, allowing them to be used for different
applications. A block diagram of Timer 3 is shown in Figure 74.

Two SFRs (T3CON and T3FD) are used to control Timer 3.
T3CON is the baud rate control SFR, allowing Timer 3 to be
used to set up the UART baud rate, and setting up the binary
divider (DIV).
The appropriate value to write to the DIV2-1-0 bits can be

interrupt. An interrupt of a high priority may interrupt the
service routine of a low priority interrupt, and if two interrupts
of different priority occur at the same time, the higher level
interrupt is serviced first. An interrupt cannot be interrupted by
another interrupt of the same priority level. If two interrupts of
the same priority level occur simultaneously, a polling sequence
is observed as shown in Table 38.

HARDWARE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
This section outlines some of the key hardware design
considerations that must be addressed when integrating the
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 into any hardware system.
Clock Oscillator
The clock source for the parts can be generated by the internal
PLL or by an external clock input. To use the internal PLL, con-
nect a 32.768 kHz parallel resonant crystal between XTAL1 and
XTAL2, and connect a capacitor from each pin to ground as
shown in Figure 75. The parts contain an internal capacitance of
18 pF on the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins, which is sufficient for
most watch crystals. This crystal allows the PLL to lock correctly
to give an fVCO of 16.777216 MHz. If no crystal is present, the
PLL will free run, giving an fVCO of 16.7 MHz ±20%. In this mode,
the CD bits are limited to CD = 1, giving a max core clock of
8.38 MHz. This is useful if an external clock input is required.
The part powers up and the PLL will free run; the user then
writes to the CFG842 SFR in software to enable the external clock
input on P3.4. Note that double the required clock must be pro-
vided externally since the part runs at CD = 1. A better solution is
to use the ADuC841 with the external clock.
For the ADuC841, connect the crystal in the same manner; external
capacitors should be connected as per the crystal manufacturers
recommendations. A minimum capacitance of 20 pF is
recommended on XTAL1 and XTAL2. The ADuC841 will not
operate if no crystal is present.
An external clock may be connected as shown in Figure 76 and
Figure 77.

Figure 77. Connecting an External Clock Source (ADuC842/ADuC843)
Whether using the internal PLL or an external clock source, the
parts specified operational clock speed range is 400 kHz to
16.777216 MHz, (20 MHz, ADuC841). The core itself is static,
and functions all the way down to dc. But at clock speeds slower
that 400 kHz, the ADC can no longer function correctly. There-
fore, to ensure specified operation, use a clock frequency of at
least 400 kHz and no more than 20 MHz.
External Memory Interface
In addition to its internal program and data memories, the parts
can access up to 16 MBytes of external data memory (SRAM).
Note that the parts cannot access external program memory.
Figure 78 shows a hardware configuration for accessing up to
64 kBytes of external RAM. This interface is standard to any
8051 compatible MCU.

If access to more than 64 kBytes of RAM is desired, a feature
unique to the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 allows address-
ing up to 16 MBytes of external RAM simply by adding an
additional latch as illustrated in Figure 79.

In either implementation, Port 0 (P0) serves as a multiplexed
address/data bus. It emits the low byte of the data pointer (DPL)
as an address, which is latched by a pulse of ALE prior to data
being placed on the bus by the ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
(write operation) or by the SRAM (read operation). Port 2 (P2)
provides the data pointer page byte (DPP) to be latched by ALE,
followed by the data pointer high byte (DPH). If no latch is
connected to P2, DPP is ignored by the SRAM, and the 8051
standard of 64 kBytes external data memory access is maintained.
Power Supplies
The operational power supply voltage of the parts depends on
whether the part is the 3 V version or the 5 V version. The
specifications are given for power supplies within 2.7 V to 3.6 V
or ±5% of the nominal 5 V level.
Note that Figure 80 and Figure 81 refer to the PQFP package.
For the CSP package, connect the extra DVDD, DGND, AVDD,
and AGND in the same manner. Also, the paddle on the bottom
of the package should be soldered to a metal plate to provide
mechanical stability. This metal plate should not be connected
to ground.
Separate analog and digital power supply pins (AVDD and DVDD,
respectively) allow AVDD to be kept relatively free of the noisy
digital signals that are often present on the system DVDD line.
However, though you can power AVDD and DVDD from two
separate supplies if desired, you must ensure that they remain
within ±0.3 V of one another at all times to avoid damaging the
chip (as per the Absolute Maximum Ratings section). Therefore,
it is recommended that unless AVDD and DVDD are connected
directly together, back-to-back Schottky diodes should be con-
nected between them, as shown in Figure 80.

and/or ferrite bead between it and DVDD, and then decoupling
AVDD separately to ground. An example of this configuration is
shown in Figure 81. With this configuration, other analog
circuitry (such as op amps and voltage reference) can be powered
from the AVDD supply line as well. The user will still want to
include back-to-back Schottky diodes between AVDD and DVDD
to protect them from power-up and power-down transient
conditions that could momentarily separate the two supply voltages.

Figure 81. External Single-Supply Connections
Notice that in both Figure 80 and Figure 81, a large value
(10 µF) reservoir capacitor sits on DVDD and a separate 10 µF
capacitor sits on AVDD. Also, local small-value (0.1 µF) capaci-
tors are located at each VDD pin of the chip. As per standard
design practice, be sure to include all of these capacitors, and
ensure the smaller capacitors are close to each AVDD pin with
trace lengths as short as possible. Connect the ground terminal
of each of these capacitors directly to the underlying ground
plane. Finally, note that at all times, the analog and digital ground
pins on the part must be referenced to the same system ground
reference point.

Power Consumption
The currents consumed by the various sections of the part are
shown in Table 40. The core values given represent the current
drawn by DVDD, while the rest (ADC, DAC, voltage ref) are
pulled by the AVDD pin and can be disabled in software when
not in use. The other on-chip peripherals (such as the watchdog
timer and the power supply monitor) consume negligible
current, and are therefore lumped in with the core operating
current here. Of course, the user must add any currents sourced
by the parallel and serial I/O pins, and sourced by the DAC, in
order to determine the total current needed at the supply pins.
Also, current drawn from the DVDD supply increases by approxi-
mately 10 mA during Flash/EE erase and program cycles.
Table 40. Typical IDD of Core and Peripherals
VDD = 5 V VDD = 3 V
Core (Normal Mode) (2.2 nA × MCLK) (1.4 nA × MCLK)
ADC 1.7 mA 1.7 mA
DAC (Each) 250 µA 200 µA
Voltage Ref 200 µA 150 µA
Since operating DVDD current is primarily a function of clock
speed, the expressions for core supply current in Table 40 are
given as functions of MCLK, the core clock frequency. Plug in a
value for MCLK in hertz to determine the current consumed by
the core at that oscillator frequency. Since the ADC and DACs
can be enabled or disabled in software, add only the currents
from the peripherals you expect to use. And again, do not forget
to include current sourced by I/O pins, serial port pins, DAC
outputs, and so forth, plus the additional current drawn during
Flash/EE erase and program cycles. A software switch allows the
chip to be switched from normal mode into idle mode, and also
into full power-down mode. Brief descriptions of idle and
power-down modes follow.
Power Saving Modes
In idle mode, the oscillator continues to run, but the core clock
generated from the PLL is halted. The on-chip peripherals
continue to receive the clock, and remain functional. The CPU
status is preserved with the stack pointer and program counter,
and all other internal registers maintain their data during idle
mode. Port pins and DAC output pins retain their states in this
mode. The chip recovers from idle mode upon receiving any
enabled interrupt, or upon receiving a hardware reset.
In full power-down mode, both the PLL and the clock to the
core are stopped. The on-chip oscillator can be halted or can
continue to oscillate, depending on the state of the oscillator
power-down bit in the PLLCON SFR. The TIC, being driven
directly from the oscillator, can also be enabled during power-
down. All other on-chip peripherals are, however, shut down.
Port pins retain their logic levels in this mode, but the DAC
output goes to a high impedance state (three-state). During full
power-down mode, the part consumes a total of approximately
20 µA. There are five ways of terminating power-down mode:
Asserting the RESET Pin (Pin 15)
Returns to normal mode. All registers are set to their default
state and program execution starts at the reset vector once the
RESET pin is de-asserted.
Cycling Power
All registers are set to their default state and program execution
starts at the reset vector approximately 128 ms later.
Time Interval Counter (TIC) Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated, and the CPU services the TIC
interrupt. The RETI at the end of the TIC ISR returns the core
to the instruction after the one that enabled power-down.
I2C or SPI Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated, and the CPU services the
I2C/SPI interrupt. The RETI at the end of the ISR returns the
core to the instruction after the one that enabled power-down.
Note that the I2C/SPI power-down interrupt enable bit (SERIPD)
in the PCON SFR must be set to allow this mode of operation.
INT0 Interrupt
Power-down mode is terminated, and the CPU services the
INT0 interrupt. The RETI at the end of the ISR returns the core
to the instruction after the one that enabled power-down. The
INT0 pin must not be driven low during or within two machine
cycles of the instruction that initiates power-down mode. Note
that the INT0 power-down interrupt enable bit (INT0PD) in
the PCON SFR must be set to allow this mode of operation.
Power-On Reset (POR)
An internal POR is implemented on the ADuC841/ADuC842/
ADuC843.
3 V Part
For DVDD below 2.45 V, the internal POR holds the part in reset.
As DVDD rises above 2.45 V, an internal timer times out for
approximately 128 ms before the part is released from reset. The
user must ensure that the power supply has reached a stable
2.7 V minimum level by this time. Likewise on power-down, the
internal POR holds the part in reset until the power supply has
dropped below 1 V. Figure 82 illustrates the operation of the
internal POR in detail.

For DVDD below 4.5 V, the internal POR holds the part in reset.
As DVDD rises above 4.5 V, an internal timer times out for

4.75 V minimum level by this time. Likewise on power-down,

has dropped below 1 V. Figure 83 illustrates the operation of the

Grounding and Board Layout Recommendations
As with all high resolution data converters, special attention
must be paid to grounding and PC board layout of ADuC841/
ADuC842/ADuC843 based designs to achieve optimum
performance from the ADC and the DACs. Although the parts
have separate pins for analog and digital ground (AGND and
DGND), the user must not tie these to two separate ground
planes unless the two ground planes are connected together
very close to the part, as illustrated in the simplified example of
Figure 84a. In systems where digital and analog ground planes
are connected together somewhere else (for example, at the
systems power supply), they cannot be connected again near the
part since a ground loop would result. In these cases, tie all the
part’s AGND and DGND pins to the analog ground plane, as
illustrated in Figure 84b. In systems with only one ground plane,
ensure that the digital and analog components are physically
separated onto separate halves of the board such that digital
return currents do not flow near analog circuitry and vice versa.
The part can then be placed between the digital and analog
sections, as illustrated in Figure 84c.
In all of these scenarios, and in more complicated real-life
applications, keep in mind the flow of current from the supplies
and back to ground. Make sure the return paths for all currents
are as close as possible to the paths that the currents took to
reach their destinations. For example, do not power components
on the analog side of Figure 84b with DVDD since that would
force return currents from DVDD to flow through AGND. Also,
try to avoid digital currents flowing under analog circuitry,
which could happen if the user places a noisy digital chip on the
left half of the board in Figure 84c. Whenever possible, avoid
large discontinuities in the ground plane(s) (like those formed
by a long trace on the same layer), since they force return
signals to travel a longer path. And of course, make all connec-
tions to the ground plane directly, with little or no trace
separating the pin from its via to ground.
If the user plans to connect fast logic signals (rise/fall time <
5 ns) to any of the part’s digital inputs, a series resistor should be
added to each relevant line to keep rise and fall times longer
than 5 ns at the part’s input pins. A value of 100 or 200 is
usually sufficient to prevent high speed signals from coupling
capacitively into the part and from affecting the accuracy of
ADC conversions.

OTHER HARDWARE CONSIDERATIONS
To facilitate in-circuit programming, plus in-circuit debug and
emulation options, users will want to implement some simple
connection points in their hardware to allow easy access to
download, debug, and emulation modes.
In-Circuit Serial Download Access
Nearly all ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843 designs want to take
advantage of the in-circuit reprogrammability of the chip. This
is accomplished by a connection to the ADuC841/ADuC842/
ADuC843’s UART, which requires an external RS-232 chip for
level translation if downloading code from a PC. Basic configura-
tion of an RS-232 connection is illustrated in Figure 85 with a
simple ADM202 based circuit. If users would rather not design
an RS-232 chip onto a board, refer to Application Note uC006, A
4-Wire UART-to-PC Interface, (at www.analog.com/microconverter)
for a simple (and zero-cost-per-board) method of gaining in-
circuit serial download access to the part.
In addition to the basic UART connections, users also need a
way to trigger the chip into download mode. This is accom-
plished via a 1 k pull-down resistor that can be jumpered onto
the PSEN pin, as shown in Figure 85. To get the part into download
mode, simply connect this jumper and power-cycle the device
(or manually reset the device, if a manual reset button is available),
and it will be ready to serially receive a new program. With the
jumper removed, the device comes up in normal mode (and
runs the program) whenever power is cycled or RESET is toggled.
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843
Rev. 0 | Page 77 of 88
Note that PSEN is normally an output (as described in the
External Memory Interface section) and is sampled as an input
only on the falling edge of RESET, i.e., at power-up or upon an
external manual reset. Note also that if any external circuitry
unintentionally pulls PSEN low during power-up or reset
events, it could cause the chip to enter download mode and
therefore fail to begin user code execution as it should. To pre-
vent this, ensure that no external signals are capable of pulling
the PSEN pin low, except for the external PSEN jumper itself.
Embedded Serial Port Debugger
From a hardware perspective, entry into serial port debug mode
is identical to the serial download entry sequence described in
the preceding section. In fact, both serial download and serial
port debug modes can be thought of as essentially one mode of
operation used in two different ways. Note that the serial port
debugger is fully contained on the part (unlike ROM monitor
type debuggers), and therefore no external memory is needed to
enable in-system debug sessions.
Single-Pin Emulation Mode
Also built into the part is a dedicated controller for single-pin
in-circuit emulation (ICE) using standard production ADuC841/
ADuC842/ADuC843 devices. In this mode, emulation access is
gained by connection to a single pin, the EA pin. Normally, this
pin is hardwired either high or low to select execution from
internal or external program memory space, as described
earlier. To enable single-pin emulation mode, however, users
need to pull the EA pin high through a 1 kΩ resistor, as shown
in Figure 85. The emulator then connects to the 2-pin header
also shown in Figure 85. To be compatible with the standard
connector that comes with the single-pin emulator available
from Accutron Limited (www.accutron.com), use a 2-pin
0.1 inch pitch friction lock header from Molex (www.molex.com)
such as their part number 22-27-2021. Be sure to observe the
polarity of this header. As represented in Figure 85, when the
friction lock tab is at the right, the ground pin should be the
lower of the two pins (when viewed from the top).
Typical System Configuration
The typical configuration shown in Figure 85 summarizes some
of the hardware considerations that were discussed in previous
sections.
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
There are two models of development tools available for the
ADuC841/ADuC842/ADuC843:
QuickStartTM—Entry-level development system
QuickStart Plus—Comprehensive development system
These systems are described briefly in the following sections.
QUICKSTART DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
The QuickStart Development System is an entry-level, low cost
development tool suite supporting the parts. The system
consists of the following PC based (Windows® compatible)
hardware and software development tools.
Hardware Evaluation board and serial port
programming cable.
Software Serial download software.
Miscellaneous CD-ROM documentation and prototype
device.
A brief description of some of the software tools and
components in the QuickStart Development System follows.
Download—In-Circuit Serial Downloader
The serial downloader is a Windows application that allows the
user to serially download an assembled program (Intel® hexadeci-
mal format file) to the on-chip program flash memory via the
serial COM1 port on a standard PC. Application Note uC004
details this serial download protocol and is available from
www.analog.com/microconverter.
ASPIRE—IDE
The ASPIRE integrated development environment is a Windows
application that allows the user to compile, edit, and debug code
in the same environment. The ASPIRE software allows users to
debug code execution on silicon using the MicroConverter
UART serial port. The debugger provides access to all on-chip
peripherals during a typical debug session as well as single step,
animate, and break-point code execution control.
Note that the ASPIRE IDE is also included as part of the
QuickStart Plus System. As part of the QuickStart Plus System,
the ASPIRE IDE also supports mixed level and C source debug.
This is not available in the QuickStart System, but there is an
example project that demonstrates this capability.
QuickStart Plus Development System
The QuickStart Plus Development System offers users enhanced
nonintrusive debug and emulation tools. The system consists of
the following PC based (Windows compatible) hardware and
software development tools.
Hardware Prototype Board. Accutron Nonintrusive
Single-Pin Emulator.
Software ASPIRE Integrated Development
Environment. Features full C and assembly
emulation using the Accutron single pin
emulator.
