GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADuC836 is a complete smart transducer front end, integrating
two high resolution - ADCs, an 8-bit MCU, and program/data
Flash/EE memory on a single chip.
The two independent ADCs (primary and auxiliary) include a
temperature sensor and a PGA (allowing direct measurement
of low level signals). The ADCs with on-chip digital filtering and
programmable output data rates are intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals, such as those
in weigh scale, strain gage, pressure transducer, or temperature
measurement applications.
The device operates from a 32 kHz crystal with an on-chip PLL
generating a high frequency clock of 12.58 MHz. This clock is
routed through a programmable clock divider from which the MCU
core clock operating frequency is generated. The microcontroller
core is an 8052 and therefore 8051 instruction set compatible
with 12 core clock periods per machine cycle.
62 Kbytes of nonvolatile Flash/EE program memory, 4 Kbytes of
nonvolatile Flash/EE data memory, and 2304 bytes of data RAM
are provided on-chip. The program memory can be configured as
data memory to give up to 60 Kbytes of NV data memory in data
logging applications.
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. The ADuC836 is supported by a QuickStart™
development system featuring low cost software and hardware
development tools.

NOTES
1
Temperature range for ADuC836BS (MQFP package) is –40°C to +125°C. Temperature range for ADuC836BCP (CSP package) is –40°C to +85°C.
2
These numbers are not production tested but are guaranteed by design and/or characterization data on production release.
3
System Zero-Scale Calibration can remove this error.
4
The primary ADC is factory calibrated at 25°C with AVDD = DVDD = 5 V yielding this full-scale error of 10 V. If user power supply or temperature conditions are significantly
different from these, an Internal Full-Scale Calibration will restore this error to 10 V. A system zero-scale and full-scale calibration will remove this error altogether.
5
Gain Error Drift is a span drift. To calculate Full-Scale Error Drift, add the Offset Error Drift to the Gain Error Drift times the full-scale input.
6
The auxiliary ADC is factory calibrated at 25°C with AVDD = DVDD = 5 V yielding this full-scale error of –2.5 LSB. A system zero-scale and full-scale calibration
will remove this error altogether.
7
DAC linearity and ac specifications are calculated using: reduced code range of 48 to 4095, 0 to VREF; reduced code range of 100 to 3950, 0 to VDD.
8
Gain Error is a measurement of the span error of the DAC.
9
In general terms, the bipolar input voltage range to the primary ADC is given by RangeADC = ±(VREF 2RN)/125, where:
VREF = REFIN(+) to REFIN(–) voltage and VREF = 1.25 V when internal ADC VREF is selected. RN = decimal equivalent of RN2, RN1, RN0, e.g.,
VREF = 2.5 V and RN2, RN1, RN0 = 1, 1, 0 the RangeADC = ±1.28 V. In Unipolar mode, the effective range is 0 V to 1.28 V in our example.
10
1.25 V is used as the reference voltage to the auxiliary ADC when internal VREF is selected via XREF0 and XREF1 bits in ADC0CON and ADC1CON, respectively.
11
In Bipolar mode, the auxiliary ADC can only be driven to a minimum of AGND – 30 mV as indicated by the auxiliary ADC absolute AIN voltage limits. The bipolar
range is still –VREF to +VREF; however, the negative voltage is limited to –30 mV.
12
The ADuC836BCP (CSP package) has been qualified and tested with the base of the CSP package floating.
13
Pins configured in SPI mode, pins configured as digital inputs during this test.
14
Pins configured in I2C mode only.
15
Flash/EE Memory Reliability Characteristics apply to both the Flash/EE program memory and Flash/EE data memory.
16
Endurance is qualified to 100 Kcycles as per JEDEC Std. 22 method A117 and measured at –40°C, +25°C, +85°C, and +125°C. Typical endurance at 25°C is 700 Kcycles.
17
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 will
derate with junction temperature as shown in Figure 16 in the Flash/EE Memory section.
18
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, 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, PCON.0 = 1, Core Execution suspended in idle mode.
Power-Down mode: Reset = 0.4 V, All P0 pins and P1.2–P1.7 pins = 0.4 V, all other digital I/O pins are open circuit, Core Clk changed via CD bits in PLLCON,
PCON.1 = 1, Core Execution suspended in Power-Down mode, OSC turned on or off via OSC_PD bit (PLLCON.7) in PLLCON SFR.
19
DVDD power supply current will increase typically by 3 mA (3 V operation) and 10 mA (5 V operation) during a Flash/EE memory program or erase cycle.
Specifications subject to change without notice.

NOTES
1. THE LFCSP HAS AN EXPOSED PAD THAT
MUST BE SOLDERED TO THE METAL PLATE
ON THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)
FOR MECHANICAL REASONS AND TO DGND.
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 the ADuC836
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.

P1.0 and P1.1 can function as digital inputs or digital outputs and have a pull-up
configuration as described for Port 3. P1.0 and P1.1 have an increased current drive
sink capability of 10 mA.
P1.0 and P1.1 also have various secondary functions as described below. P1.0 can be
used to provide a clock input to Timer 2. When enabled, Counter 2 is incremented
in response to a negative transition on the T2 input pin. If the PWM is enabled, the
PWM0 output will appear at this pin.
P1.1 can also be used to provide a control input to Timer 2. When enabled, a PWM1
negative transition on the T2EX input pin will cause a Timer 2 capture or reload event.
If the PWM is enabled, the PWM1 output will appear at this pin.
Port 1.2 to Port 1.7 have no digital output driver; they can function as a digital input
for which 0 must be written to the port bit. As a digital input, these pins must be
driven high or low externally. These pins also have the following analog functionality:
The voltage output from the DAC or one or both current sources (200 µA or
2 200 µA) can be configured to appear at this pin.
Auxiliary ADC input or one or both current sources can be configured at this pin.

P3.0–P3.7 are bidirectional port pins 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 will
source current because of the internal pull-up resistors. When driving a 0-to-1 output
transition, a strong pull-up is active for two core clock periods of the instruction
cycle. Port 3 pins also have various secondary functions including:
Receiver Data for UART Serial Port
Transmitter Data for UART Serial Port

EA
I/O
External Access Enable, Logic Input. When held high, this input enables the device to
fetch code from internal program memory locations 0000h to F7FFh. When held low,
this input enables the device to fetch all instructions from external program memory.
To determine the mode of code execution, i.e., internal or external, the EA pin is
sampled at the end of an external RESET assertion or as part of a device power cycle.
EA may also be used as an external emulation I/O pin, and therefore the voltage level
at this pin must not be changed during normal mode operation as it may cause an
emulation interrupt that will halt code execution.

O
Program Store Enable, Logic Output. This output is a control signal that enables the

These pins are part of Port 0, which is an 8-bit, open-drain, bidirectional
I/O port. Port 0 pins that have 1s written to them float and in that state can be used
(AD4–AD7)as high impedance inputs. An external pull-up resistor will be required
on P0 outputs to force a valid logic high level externally. Port 0 is also the multiplexed
low order address and data bus during accesses to external program or data memory.
In this application, it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
Reset initializes the stack pointer to location 07H. Any call or push
pre-increments the SP before loading the stack. Therefore, loading
the stack starts from location 08H, which is also the first register
(R0) of register bank 1. Thus, if one is going to use more than one
register bank, the stack pointer should be initialized to an area of
RAM not used for data storage.
The ADuC836 contains four different memory blocks:

If the user applies power or resets the device while the EA pin is
pulled low externally, the part will execute code from the external
program space; otherwise, if EA is pulled high externally, the part
defaults to code execution from its internal 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE
program memory.

Unlike the ADuC816, where code execution can overflow from the
internal code space to external code space once the PC becomes
greater than 1FFFH, the ADuC836 does not support the rollover
from F7FFH in internal code space to F800H in external code
space. Instead, the 2048 bytes between F800H and FFFFH will
appear as NOP instructions to user code.

56 Kbytes of the program memory can be reprogrammed during
runtime; thus the code space can be upgraded in the field 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.
(2) 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 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.
The ADuC836 contains 2 Kbytes of on-chip extended data memory. This memory, although on-chip, is 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 CFG836.0
bit is set. Otherwise, access to the external data memory will occur
just like a standard 8051.
Even with the CFG836.0 bit set, access to the external XRAM
will occur once the 24-bit DPTR is greater than 0007FFH.
(3) General-Purpose RAM

The general-purpose RAM is divided into two separate memories:
the upper and 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 only be accessed through indirect
addressing as it shares the same address space as the SFR space,
which can only be accessed through direct addressing.

The lower 128 bytes of internal data memory are mapped as shown

eight registers addressed as R0 through R7. The next 16 bytes
(128 bits), locations 20H through 2FH above the register banks,
form a block of directly addressable bit locations at bit addresses
00H through 7FH. The stack can be located anywhere in the internal memory address space, and the stack depth can be expanded
up to 2048 bytes.

ADuC836
SPECIAL FUNCTION REGISTERS (SFRS)
When accessing the internal XRAM, the P0 and P2 port pins, as
well as the RD and WR strobes, will not be output as per a standard 8051 MOVX instruction. This allows the user to use these
port pins as standard I/O.
The upper 1792 bytes of the internal XRAM can be configured
to be used as an extended 11-bit stack pointer. By default, the
stack will operate exactly like an 8052 in that it will roll over from
FFH to 00H in the general-purpose RAM. On the ADuC836
however, it is possible (by setting CFG836.7) to enable the 11-bit
extended stack pointer. In this case, the stack will roll 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 three extra bits necessary to
extend the 8-bit stack pointer into an 11-bit stack pointer.
The SFR space is mapped into the upper 128 bytes of internal
data memory space and accessed by direct addressing only. It
provides an interface between the CPU and all on-chip peripherals. A block diagram showing the programming model of the
ADuC836 via the SFR area is shown in Figure 5.

External Data Memory (External XRAM)
Just like a standard 8051 compatible core, the ADuC836 can
access external data memory using a MOVX instruction. The
MOVX instruction automatically outputs the various control
strobes required to access the data memory.
The ADuC836, however, can access up to 16 Mbytes of external
data memory. This is an enhancement of the 64 Kbytes external
data memory space available on a standard 8051 compatible core.
The external data memory is discussed in more detail in the
ADuC836 Hardware Design Considerations section.
ACC is the Accumulator Register, which is used for math
operations 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 scratch pad register.
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 external data access. It may be manipulated as a 16-bit
register (DPTR = DPH, DPL), although INC DPTR instructions
will automatically carry over to DPP, or as three independent 8-bit
registers (DPP, DPH, DPL).
The ADuC836 supports dual data pointers. For more information,
refer to the Dual Data Pointer section.

Stack Pointer (SP and SPH)
Table II. PCON SFR Bit Designations
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. This causes the
stack to begin at location 08H.
As mentioned earlier, the ADuC836 offers an extended 11-bit
stack pointer. The three extra bits that make up the 11-bit stack
pointer are the 3 LSBs of the SPH byte located at B7H.

NOXREF
No External Reference Bit (only active if primary or auxiliary ADC is active).
Set to indicate that one or both of the REFIN pins is floating or the applied voltage is below a specified threshold.
When set, conversion results are clamped to all ones, if using external reference.
Cleared to indicate valid VREF.

ADC Power-Down Mode (Power-On Default)
Idle Mode. The ADC filter and modulator are held in a reset state although the
modulator clocks are still provided.
Single Conversion Mode. A single conversion is performed on the enabled ADC.
On completion of the conversion, the ADC data registers (ADC0H/M and/or ADC1H/L)
are updated, the relevant flags in the ADCSTAT SFR are written, and power-down is
re-entered with the MD2–MD0 accordingly being written to 000.
Continuous Conversion. The ADC data registers are regularly updated at the selected
update rate (see SF Register).
Internal Zero-Scale Calibration. Internal short automatically connected to the enabled
ADC input(s).
Internal Full-Scale Calibration. Internal or external VREF (as determined by XREF0
and XREF1 bits in ADC0/1CON) is automatically connected to the enabled ADC
input(s) for this calibration.
System Zero-Scale Calibration. User should connect system zero-scale input to the
enabled ADC input(s) as selected by CH1/CH0 and ACH1/ACH0 bits in the
ADC0/1CON Register.
System Full-Scale Calibration. User should connect system full-scale input to the
enabled ADC input(s) as selected by the CH1/CH0 and ACH1/ACH0 bits in the
ADC0/1CON Register.
NOTES
1. Any change to the MD bits will immediately reset both ADCs. A write to the MD2–0 bits with no change is also treated as a reset. (See exception to this in Note 3.)
2. If ADC0CON is written when ADC0EN = 1, or if ADC0EN is changed from 0 to 1, then both ADCs are also immediately reset. In other words, the primary ADC is
given priority over the auxiliary ADC, and any change requested on the primary ADC is immediately responded to.
3. On the other hand, if ADC1CON is written or if ADC1EN is changed from 0 to 1, only the auxiliary ADC is reset. For example, if the primary ADC is continuously converting
when the auxiliary ADC change or enable occurs, the primary ADC continues undisturbed. Rather than allow the auxiliary ADC to operate with a phase difference from
the primary ADC, the auxiliary ADC will fall into step with the outputs of the primary ADC. The result is that the first conversion time for the auxiliary ADC will be
delayed up to three outputs while the auxiliary ADC update rate is synchronized to the primary ADC.
4. Once ADCMODE has been written with a calibration mode, the RDY0/1 bits (ADCSTAT) are immediately reset and the calibration commences. On completion, the appropriate
calibration registers are written, the relevant bits in ADCSTAT are written, and the MD2–0 bits are reset to 000 to indicate the ADC is back in Power-Down mode.
5. Any calibration request of the auxiliary ADC while the temperature sensor is selected will fail to complete. Although the RDY1 bit will be set at the end of the calibration
cycle, no update of the calibration SFRs will take place and the ERR1 bit will be set.
6. Calibrations are performed at maximum SF (see SF SFR) value, guaranteeing optimum calibration operation.

The number in this register sets the decimation factor and thus

is calculated as follows:
f ADC =

value for the SF Register is 45H, resulting in a default ADC update
rate of just under 20 Hz. Both ADC inputs are chopped to minimize offset errors, which means that the settling time for a single
conversion, or the time to a first conversion result in Continuous
Conversion mode, is 2 tADC. As mentioned earlier, all calibration cycles will be carried out automatically with a maximum, i.e.,
FFH, SF value to ensure optimum calibration performance. Once
a calibration cycle has completed, the value in the SF Register will
be that programmed by user software.
fADC = ADC Output Update Rate

PRIMARY AND AUXILIARY ADC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Overview
The ADuC836 incorporates two independent - ADCs (primary
and auxiliary) with on-chip digital filtering intended for the measurement of wide dynamic range, low frequency signals such as
those in weigh-scale, strain gage, pressure transducer, or temperature measurement applications.
Primary ADC
This ADC is intended to convert the primary sensor input. The
input is buffered and can be programmed for one of eight input
ranges from ±20 mV to ±2.56 V being driven from one of three
differential input channel options AIN1/2, AIN3/4, or AIN3/2.
The input channel is internally buffered, allowing the part to
handle significant source impedances on the analog input and

allowing R/C filtering (for noise rejection or RFI reduction) to be
placed on the analog inputs if required. On-chip burnout currents
can also be turned on. These currents can be used to check that
a transducer on the selected channel is still operational before
attempting to take measurements.
The ADC employs a - conversion technique to realize up to
16 bits of no missing codes performance. The - modulator
converts the sampled input signal into a digital pulse train whose
duty cycle contains the digital information. A Sinc3 programmable
low-pass filter is then employed to decimate the modulator output
data stream to give a valid data conversion result at programmable
output rates from 5.35 Hz (186.77 ms) to 105.03 Hz (9.52 ms). A
chopping scheme is also employed to minimize ADC offset errors.
A block diagram of the primary ADC is shown in Figure 7.

ADuC836
Auxiliary ADC
The auxiliary ADC is intended to convert supplementary inputs
such as those from a cold junction diode or thermistor. This ADC
is not buffered and has a fixed input range of 0 V to 2.5 V (assuming
an external 2.5 V reference). The single-ended inputs can be driven
from AIN3, AIN4, or AIN5 pins, or directly from the on-chip
temperature sensor voltage. A block diagram of the auxiliary ADC
is shown in Figure 8.
Analog Input Channels
The primary ADC has four associated analog input pins (labeled
AIN1 to AIN4) that can be configured as two fully differential input
channels. Channel selection bits in the ADC0CON SFR detailed
in Table VI allow three combinations of differential pair selection
as well as an additional shorted input option (AIN2–AIN2).
The auxiliary ADC has three external input pins (labeled AIN3
to AIN5) as well as an internal connection to the on-chip temperature sensor. All inputs to the auxiliary ADC are single-ended
inputs referenced to the AGND on the part. Channel selection
bits in the ADC1CON SFR detailed in Table VII allow selection
of one of four inputs.
Two input multiplexers switch the selected input channel to the
on-chip buffer amplifier in the case of the primary ADC and
directly to the - modulator input in the case of the auxiliary
ADC. When the analog input channel is switched, the settling
time of the part must elapse before a new valid word is available
from the ADC.

Primary and Auxiliary ADC Inputs
19.372
The output of the Primary ADC multiplexer feeds into a high
impedance input stage of the buffer amplifier. As a result, the
primary ADC inputs can handle significant source impedances
and are tailored for direct connection to external resistive-type sensors like strain gages or Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs).
ADC INPUT VOLTAGE – mV
19.371
The auxiliary ADC, however, is unbuffered, resulting in higher
analog input current on the auxiliary ADC. It should be noted
that this unbuffered input path provides a dynamic load to the
driving source. Therefore, resistor/capacitor combinations on the
input pins can cause dc gain errors depending on the output
impedance of the source that is driving the ADC inputs.

Figure 9. Primary ADC Range Matching
The absolute input voltage range on the auxiliary ADC is restricted
to between AGND – 30 mV to AVDD + 30 mV. The slightly negative
absolute input voltage limit does allow the possibility of monitoring small signal bipolar signals using the single-ended auxiliary
ADC front end.
Programmable Gain Amplifier
The output from the buffer on the primary ADC is applied to the
input of the on-chip programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The
PGA can be programmed through eight different unipolar input
ranges and bipolar ranges. The PGA gain range is programmed
via the range bits in the ADC0CON SFR. With the external
reference select bit set in the ADC0CON SFR and an external
2.5 V reference, the unipolar ranges are 0 mV to 20 mV, 0 mV to
40 mV, 0 mV to 80 mV, 0 mV to 160 mV, 0 mV to 320 mV, 0 mV
to 640 mV, 0 V to 1.28 V, and 0 to 2.56 V; the bipolar ranges
are ±20 mV, ±40 mV, ±80 mV, ±160 mV, ±320 mV, ±640 mV,
±1.28 V, and ±2.56 V. These are the nominal ranges that should
appear at the input to the on-chip PGA. An ADC range matching
specification of 2 µV (typ) across all ranges means that calibration
need only be carried out at a single gain range and does not have
to be repeated when the PGA gain range is changed.
REV. B
19.368

SAMPLE COUNT 0
The absolute input voltage range on the primary ADC is restricted
to between AGND + 100 mV to AVDD – 100 mV. Care must be
taken in setting up the common-mode voltage and input voltage
range so that these limits are not exceeded; otherwise there will
be a degradation in linearity performance.
The auxiliary ADC does not incorporate a PGA and is configured
for a fixed single input range of 0 to VREF.
19.369
19.365
Analog Input Ranges
Typical matching across ranges is shown in Figure 9. Here, the
primary ADC is configured in bipolar mode with an external 2.5 V
reference, while just greater than 19 mV is forced on its inputs.
The ADC continuously converts the dc input voltage at an update
rate of 5.35 Hz, i.e., SF = FFH. In total, 800 conversion results are
gathered. The first 100 results are gathered with the primary ADC
operating in the ±20 mV range. The ADC range is then switched
to ±40 mV, 100 more conversion results are gathered, and so on,
until the last group of 100 samples is gathered with the ADC configured in the ±2.56 V range. From Figure 9, the variation in the
sample mean through each range, i.e., the range matching, is seen
to be of the order of 2 V.

Bipolar/Unipolar Inputs
The analog inputs on the ADuC836 can accept either unipolar
or bipolar input voltage ranges. Bipolar input ranges do not imply
that the part can handle negative voltages with respect to system
AGND.
Unipolar and bipolar signals on the AIN(+) input on the primary
ADC are referenced to the voltage on the respective AIN(–)
input. For example, if AIN(–) is 2.5 V and the primary ADC is
configured for an analog input range of 0 mV to 20 mV, the input
voltage range on the AIN(+) input is 2.5 V to 2.52 V. If AIN(–) is
2.5 V and the ADuC836 is configured for an analog input range
of 1.28 V, the analog input range on the AIN(+) input is 1.22 V to
3.78 V (i.e., 2.5 V ± 1.28 V).
As mentioned earlier, the auxiliary ADC input is a single-ended
input with respect to the system AGND. In this context, a bipolar
signal on the auxiliary ADC can only span 30 mV negative with
respect to AGND before violating the voltage input limits for
this ADC.
Bipolar or unipolar options are chosen by programming the primary and auxiliary Unipolar enable bits in the ADC0CON and
ADC1CON SFRs, respectively. This programs the relevant ADC
for either unipolar or bipolar operation. Programming for either
unipolar or bipolar operation does not change any of the input
signal conditioning; it simply changes the data output coding
and the points on the transfer function where calibrations occur.
When an ADC is configured for unipolar operation, the output
coding is natural (straight) binary with a zero differential input
voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a midscale voltage
resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a full-scale input voltage
resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111. When an ADC is configured
for bipolar operation, the coding is offset binary with a negative
full-scale voltage resulting in a code of 000 . . . 000, a zero differential voltage resulting in a code of 100 . . . 000, and a positive
full-scale voltage resulting in a code of 111 . . . 111.

ADuC836
Reference Input
Excitation Currents
The ADuC836’s reference inputs, REFIN(+) and REFIN(–),
provide a differential reference input capability. The commonmode range for these differential inputs is from AGND to AVDD.
The nominal reference voltage, VREF (REFIN(+) – REFIN(–)),
for specified operation is 2.5 V with the primary and auxiliary
reference enable bits set in the respective ADC0CON and/or
ADC1CON SFRs.
The ADuC836 also contains two identical, 200 µA constant current
sources. Both source current from AVDD to Pin 3 (IEXC1) or Pin 4
(IEXC2). These current sources are controlled via bits in the ICON
SFR shown in Table IX. They can be configured to source 200 µA
individually to both pins or a combination of both currents, i.e.,
400 µA, to either of the selected pins. These current sources can be
used to excite external resistive bridge or RTD sensors.
The part is also functional (although not specified for performance) when the XREF0 or XREF1 bits are 0, which enables the
on-chip internal band gap reference. In this mode, the ADCs will see
the internal reference of 1.25 V, therefore halving all input ranges.
As a result of using the internal reference voltage, a noticeable
degradation in peak-to-peak resolution will result. Therefore, for
best performance, operation with an external reference is strongly
recommended.
Reference Detect
In applications where the excitation (voltage or current) for the
transducer on the analog input also drives the reference voltage
for the part, the effect of the low frequency noise in the excitation
source will be removed as the application is ratiometric. If the
ADuC836 is not used in a ratiometric application, a low noise
reference should be used. Recommended reference voltage sources
for the ADuC836 include the AD780, REF43, and REF192.
It should also be noted that the reference inputs provide a high
impedance, dynamic load. Because the input impedance of each
reference input is dynamic, resistor/capacitor combinations on these
inputs can cause dc gain errors depending on the output impedance of the source that is driving the reference inputs. Reference
voltage sources, like those recommended above (e.g., AD780),
will typically have low output impedances and therefore decoupling
capacitors on the REFIN(+) input would be recommended.
Deriving the reference input voltage across an external resistor,
as shown in Figure 66, will mean that the reference input sees a
significant external source impedance. External decoupling on
the REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins would not be recommended
in this type of circuit configuration.
The ADuC836 includes on-chip circuitry to detect if the part has
a valid reference for conversions or calibrations. If the voltage
between the external REFIN(+) and REFIN(–) pins goes below
0.3 V or either the REFIN(+) or REFIN(–) inputs is open circuit,
the ADuC836 detects that it no longer has a valid reference. In this
case, the NOXREF bit of the ADCSTAT SFR is set to a 1. If the
ADuC836 is performing normal conversions and the NOXREF
bit becomes active, the conversion results revert to all 1s. It is not
necessary to continuously monitor the status of the NOXREF bit
when performing conversions. It is only necessary to verify its status
if the conversion result read from the ADC Data Register is all 1s.
If the ADuC836 is performing either an offset or gain calibration
and the NOXREF bit becomes active, the updating of the respective calibration registers is inhibited to avoid loading incorrect
coefficients to these registers, and the appropriate ERR0 or ERR1
bits in the ADCSTAT SFR are set. If the user is concerned about
verifying that a valid reference is in place every time a calibration is
performed, the status of the ERR0 or ERR1 bit should be checked
at the end of the calibration cycle.
- Modulator
A - ADC generally consists of two main blocks, an analog modulator and a digital filter. In the case of the ADuC836 ADCs, the
analog modulators consist of a difference amplifier, an integrator
block, a comparator, and a feedback DAC, as illustrated in Figure 10.

Burnout Currents
The primary ADC on the ADuC836 contains two 100 nA constant current generators: one sourcing current from AVDD to
AIN(+) and one sinking from AIN(–) to AGND. The currents
are switched to the selected analog input pair. Both currents are
either on or off, depending on the Burnout Current Enable
(BO) bit in the ICON SFR (see Table IX). These currents can
be used to verify that an external transducer is still operational
before attempting to take measurements on that channel. Once
the burnout currents are turned on, they will flow in the external
transducer circuit, and a measurement of the input voltage on
the analog input channel can be taken. If the resultant voltage
measured is full-scale, it indicates that the transducer has gone
open-circuit. If the voltage measured is 0 V, it indicates that the
transducer has short circuited. For normal operation, these burnout currents are turned off by writing a 0 to the BO bit in the
ICON SFR. The current sources work over the normal absolute
input voltage range specifications.

Figure 10. - Modulator Simplified Block Diagram
In operation, the analog signal sample is fed to the difference
amplifier along with the output of the feedback DAC. The difference between these two signals is integrated and fed to the
comparator. The output of the comparator provides the input to
the feedback DAC so the system functions as a negative feedback
loop that tries to minimize the difference signal. The digital data
that represents the analog input voltage is contained in the duty
cycle of the pulse train appearing at the output of the comparator.
This duty cycle data can be recovered as a data-word using a subsequent digital filter stage. The sampling frequency of the modulator
loop is many times higher than the bandwidth of the input signal.
The integrator in the modulator shapes the quantization noise
(which results from the analog-to-digital conversion) so that the
noise is pushed toward one-half of the modulator frequency.

The output of the - modulator feeds directly into the digital
filter. The digital filter then band-limits the response to a frequency
significantly lower than one-half of the modulator frequency. In
this manner, the 1-bit output of the comparator is translated into
a band-limited, low noise output from the ADuC836 ADCs.

ADuC836
ADC Chopping
Both ADCs on the ADuC836 implement a chopping scheme
whereby the ADC repeatedly reverses its inputs. The decimated
digital output words from the Sinc3 filters therefore have a positive
offset and negative offset term included.
As a result, a final summing stage is included in each ADC so that
each output word from the filter is summed and averaged with
the previous filter output to produce a new valid output result
to be written to the ADC data SFRs. In this way, while the ADC
throughput or update rate is as discussed earlier and illustrated in
Table VIII, the full settling time through the ADC (or the time to
a first conversion result) will actually be given by 2 tADC.
The chopping scheme incorporated in the ADuC836 ADC results
in excellent dc offset and offset drift specifications and is extremely
beneficial in applications where drift, noise rejection, and optimum
EMI rejection are important factors.
Calibration
The ADuC836 provides four calibration modes that can be programmed via the mode bits in the ADCMODE SFR detailed in
Table V. In fact, every ADuC836 has already been factory calibrated. The resultant Offset and Gain calibration coefficients
for both the primary and auxiliary ADCs are stored on-chip in
manufacturing-specific Flash/EE memory locations. At power-on
or after reset, these factory calibration coefficients are automatically downloaded to the calibration registers in the ADuC836
SFR space. Each ADC (primary and auxiliary) has dedicated
calibration SFRs, which have been described earlier as part of the
general ADC SFR description. However, the factory calibration
values in the ADC calibration SFRs will be overwritten if any
one of the four calibration options are initiated and that ADC is
enabled via the ADC enable bits in ADCMODE.
Even though an internal offset calibration mode is described
below, it should be recognized that both ADCs are chopped. This
chopping scheme inherently minimizes offset and means that an
internal offset calibration should never be required. Also, because
factory 5 V/25°C gain calibration coefficients are automatically
present at power-on an internal full-scale calibration will only be
required if the part is being operated at 3 V or at temperatures
significantly different from 25°C.
The ADuC836 offers internal or system calibration facilities. For
full calibration to occur on the selected ADC, the calibration
logic must record the modulator output for two different input
conditions: zero-scale and full-scale points. These points are
derived by performing a conversion on the different input voltages provided to the input of the modulator during calibration.
The result of the zero-scale calibration conversion is stored in the
Offset Calibration Registers for the appropriate ADC. The result
of the full-scale calibration conversion is stored in the Gain Calibration Registers for the appropriate ADC. With these readings,
the calibration logic can calculate the offset and the gain slope for
the input-to-output transfer function of the converter.
During an internal zero-scale or full-scale calibration, the respective
zero-scale input and full-scale inputs are automatically connected to
the ADC input pins internally to the device. A system calibration,
however, expects the system zero-scale and system full-scale voltages to be applied to the external ADC pins before the calibration
mode is initiated. In this way, external ADC errors are taken into
account and minimized as a result of system calibration. It should
also be noted that to optimize calibration accuracy, all ADuC836
ADC calibrations are carried out automatically at the slowest
update rate.
Internally in the ADuC836, the coefficients are normalized before
being used to scale the words coming out of the digital filter. The
offset calibration coefficient is subtracted from the result prior to
the multiplication by the gain coefficient.
From an operational point of view, a calibration should be treated
like another ADC conversion. A zero-scale calibration (if required)
should always be carried out before a full-scale calibration. System
software should monitor the relevant ADC RDY0/1 bit in the
ADCSTAT SFR to determine end of calibration via a polling
sequence or interrupt driven routine.

ADuC836 Flash/EE Memory Reliability
NONVOLATILE FLASH/EE MEMORY
Flash/EE Memory Overview
The Flash/EE program and data memory arrays on the ADuC836
are fully qualified for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics:
Flash/EE Memory Cycling Endurance and Flash/EE Memory
Data Retention.
The ADuC836 incorporates Flash/EE memory technology
on-chip to provide the user with nonvolatile, in-circuit, reprogrammable code and data memory space. Flash/EE memory is
a relatively recent type of nonvolatile memory technology and is
based on a single transistor cell architecture. This technology is
basically an outgrowth of EPROM technology and was developed through the late 1980s. Flash/EE memory takes the flexible
in-circuit reprogrammable features of EEPROM and combines
them with the space efficient/density features of EPROM (see
Figure 15).
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 independent,
sequential events, which are defined as:
a. Initial page erase sequence
b. Read/verify sequence
Because Flash/EE technology is based on a single transistor cell
architecture, a Flash memory array, like EPROM, can be implemented to achieve the space efficiencies or memory densities
required by a given design.
c. Byte program sequence
d. Second read/verify sequence
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.
Like EEPROM, flash memory can be programmed in-system
at a byte level, although 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.
As indicated in the Specification tables, the ADuC836 Flash/EE
Memory Endurance qualification has been carried out in
accordance with JEDEC Specification A117 over the industrial
temperature range of –40°C, +25°C, +85°C, and +125°C. The
results allow the specification of a minimum endurance figure
over supply and 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 ADuC836 has 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 above,
before data retention is characterized. This means that the Flash/EE
memory is guaranteed to retain its data for its full specified retention lifetime every time the Flash/EE memory is reprogrammed.
It should also be noted that retention lifetime, based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV, will derate with TJ, as shown in Figure 16.
Figure 15. Flash/EE Memory Development
Overall, Flash/EE memory represents a step closer to the ideal
memory device that includes nonvolatility, in-circuit programmability, high density, and low cost. Incorporated into the ADuC836,
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 ADuC836
The ADuC836 provides two arrays of Flash/EE memory for user
applications. 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, using the serial download mode provided,
using conventional third party memory programmers, or via any
user defined protocol in User Download (ULOAD) mode.
A 4 Kbyte Flash/EE data memory space is also provided on-chip.
This may be used as a general-purpose, nonvolatile scratch pad
area. User access to this area is via a group of seven SFRs. This
space can be programmed at a byte level, although it must first be
erased in 4-byte pages.

Flash/EE Program Memory
(2) Parallel Programming
The ADuC836 contains a 64 Kbyte array of Flash/EE program
memory. The lower 62 Kbytes of this program memory are available to the user, and can be used for program storage or indeed
as additional NV data memory.
The Parallel Programming mode is fully compatible with conventional third party Flash or EEPROM device programmers.
A block diagram of the external pin configuration required to
support parallel programming is shown in Figure 18. In this mode,
Ports 0 and 2 operate as the external address bus interface, P3
operates as the external data bus interface, and P1.0 operates as
the Write Enable strobe. Port 1.1, P1.2, P1.3, and P1.4 are used
as a general configuration port that configures the device for various program and erase operations during parallel programming.
The upper 2 Kbytes of this Flash/EE program memory array contain permanently embedded firmware, allowing in-circuit serial
download, serial debug, and nonintrusive single pin emulation.
These 2 Kbytes of embedded firmware also contain a power-on
configuration routine that downloads factory calibrated coefficients to the various calibrated peripherals (ADC, temperature
sensor, current sources, band gap references, and so on).
This 2 Kbyte embedded firmware is hidden from user code.
Attempts to read this space will read 0s, i.e., the embedded firmware appears as NOP instructions to user code.
In normal operating mode (power-up default), the 62 Kbytes of
user Flash/EE program memory appear as a single block. This
block is used to store the user code, as shown in Figure 17.

The ADuC836 facilitates code download via the standard UART

a reset or power cycle if the PSEN pin is pulled low through an
external 1 k resistor. Once in serial download mode, the hidden
embedded download kernel will execute. This allows the user to
download code to the full 62 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memory while the device is in circuit in its target application hardware.

Flash/EE Program Memory Security
User Download Mode (ULOAD)
In Figure 17 we can see that it was possible to use the 62 Kbytes
of Flash/EE program memory available to the user as one 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 19.
ULOAD mode can be used to upgrade your code in the field via
any user defined download protocol. Configuring the SPI port on
the ADuC836 as a slave, it is possible to completely reprogram
the 56 Kbytes of Flash/EE program memory in only 5 seconds
(see 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 ADuC836 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 only programmable via serial download or parallel programming. This means that this space appears as read-only to user
code. Therefore, it cannot be accidently erased or reprogrammed
by erroneous code execution. This 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 also
in Application Note uC007.

The ADuC836 facilitates 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
ADuC836 offers the following security modes:
Lock Mode
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel programming 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 an “erase code and data” command in Serial Download or Parallel Programming modes.
Secure Mode
This mode locks the code memory, disabling parallel programming of the program memory. Reading/verifying the memory
in Parallel mode and reading the internal memory via a MOVC
command from external memory is also disabled. This mode is
deactivated by initiating an “erase code and data” 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
deasserted with PSEN low, the part will interpret the serial download reset as a normal reset only. It will therefore not enter Serial
Download mode, but only execute a normal reset sequence.
Serial Safe mode can only be disabled by initiating an “erase code
and data” command in parallel programming mode.

Programming of either the Flash/EE data memory or the Flash/EE
program memory is done through the Flash/EE Memory Control
SFR (ECON). This SFR allows the user to read, write, erase, or

The 4 Kbytes of Flash/EE data memory are configured as
1024 pages, each of four bytes. As with the other ADuC836
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–A4) 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.

Programming the Flash/EE Data Memory
A user wishes to program F3H into the second byte on Page 03H
of the Flash/EE data memory space while preserving the other
three bytes already in this page.
A typical program of the Flash/EE Data array will involve:
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
The two 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
set to FFH, it is nonetheless good programming practice to
include an erase-all routine as part of any configuration/setup
code running on the ADuC836. An ERASE-ALL 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 ADuC836 are as follows:
Normal Mode (operating on Flash/EE data memory)
READPAGE (4 bytes)
WRITEPAGE (4 bytes)
VERIFYPAGE (4 bytes)
ERASEPAGE (4 bytes)
ERASEALL (4 Kbytes)
READBYTE (1 byte)
WRITEBYTE (1 byte)
Step 2: Set Up the EDATA Registers
The four values to be written into the page into the four SFRs
EDATA1–4. Since we do not know three of them, it is necessary
to read the current page and overwrite the second byte.
MOV ECON,#1 ; Read Page into EDATA1-4
MOV EDATA2,#0F3H ; Overwrite byte 2
ULOAD Mode (operating on Flash/EE program memory)
WRITEPAGE (256 bytes)
ERASEPAGE (64 bytes)
ERASEALL (56 Kbytes)
WRITEBYTE (1 byte)
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 only be
programmed 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 four bytes (1 page) will be erased when
an erase command is initiated. Once the page is erased, we can
program the four 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

It should be noted that a given mode of operation is initiated as
soon as the command word is written to the ECON SFR. The
core microcontroller operation on the ADuC836 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 will not be executed until the Flash/EE operation is
complete. This means that the core will not respond to interrupt
requests until the Flash/EE operation is complete, although the
core peripheral functions like counter/timers will continue to
count and time as configured throughout this period.

ADuC836
DAC
The ADuC836 incorporates a 12-bit voltage output DAC
on-chip. It has a rail-to-rail voltage output buffer capable of driving
10 k/100 pF. It has two selectable ranges, 0 V to VREF (the internal band gap 2.5 V reference) and 0 V to AVDD. It can operate
in 12-bit or 8-bit mode. The DAC has a control register, DACCON,
and two data registers, DACH/L. The DAC output can be
programmed to appear at Pin 3 or Pin 12. It should be noted
that in 12-bit mode, the DAC voltage output will be 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. The 12-bit DAC data should be written into DACH/L
right-justified such that DACL contains the lower eight bits, and
the lower nibble of DACH contains the upper four bits.

Figure 21. Resistor String DAC Functional Equivalent
Features of this architecture include inherent guaranteed monotonicity and excellent differential linearity. As illustrated in Figure 21,
the reference source for the DAC is user selectable in software. It
can be either AVDD or VREF. In 0-to-AVDD mode, the DAC output
transfer function spans from 0 V to the voltage at the AVDD pin.
In 0-to-VREF mode, the DAC output transfer function spans from
0 V to the internal VREF (2.5 V). 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 specification (when driving a 10 k resistive load to ground)
is guaranteed through the full transfer function except codes 0
to 48 in 0-to-VREF mode and 0 to 100 and 3950 to 4095 in 0-toVDD mode.
Linearity degradation 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 22. The
dotted line in Figure 22 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.

Figure 22. Endpoint Nonlinearities Due to
Amplifier Saturation
Note that Figure 22 represents a transfer function in 0-to-VDD mode
only. In 0-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, showing no signs of
endpoint linearity errors.
The endpoint nonlinearities conceptually illustrated in Figure 22
get worse as a function of output loading. Most of the ADuC836
data sheet specifications assume a 10 k 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 22 become larger. With larger current demands, this
can significantly limit output voltage swing. Figures 23 and 24
illustrate this behavior. It should be noted that the upper trace in
each of these figures is valid only for an output range selection of
0-to-AVDD. In 0-to-VREF mode, DAC loading will 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 will not be affected by
loads less than 5 mA. But somewhere around 7 mA, the upper curve
in Figure 24 drops below 2.5 V (VREF), indicating that at these
higher currents, the output will not be capable of reaching VREF.

Figure 25. Buffering the DAC Output
The DAC output buffer also features a high impedance disable function. In the chip’s default power-on state, the DAC is disabled and
its output is 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, a pull-down resistor must be
added to each DAC output. Assuming this resistor is in place, the
DAC output will remain at ground potential whenever the DAC
is disabled.

PULSEWIDTH MODULATOR (PWM)
The PWM on the ADuC836 is a highly flexible PWM offering
programmable resolution and input clock, and can be configured
for any one of six different modes of operation. Two of these modes
allow the PWM to be configured as a - DAC with up to 16 bits
of resolution. A block diagram of the PWM is shown in Figure 26.

PWMCON (as described in Table XVI) 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
determine the duty cycles of the PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1.
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.

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 (e.g., setting
PWM1H/L to 65536 gives a 16-bit PWM with a maximum
output rate of 192 Hz (12.583 MHz/65536). Setting PWM1H/L
to 4096 gives a 12-bit PWM with a maximum output rate of
3072 Hz (12.583 MHz/4096)).

Figure 28. PWM Mode 2
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 12.58 MHz core
clock results in a PWM output rate of 192 Hz. The duty cycle of the
PWM outputs at P1.0 and P1.1 is independently programmable.
PWM0H/L sets the duty cycle of the PWM output waveform, as
shown in Figure 27.
PWM1H/L
PWM COUNTER
As in Figure 29, while the PWM counter is less than PWM0H/L,
the output of PWM0 (P1.0) is high. Once the PWM counter
equals PWM0H/L, PWM0 (P1.0) goes low and remains low until
the PWM counter rolls over.
PWM0H/L
Similarly, while the PWM counter is less than PWM1H/L, the
output of PWM1 (P1.1) is high. Once the PWM counter equals
PWM1H/L, PWM1 (P1.1) goes low and remains low until the
PWM counter rolls over.
0
P1.0
In this mode, both PWM outputs are synchronized (i.e., once the
PWM counter rolls over to 0, both PWM0 (P1.0) and PWM1
(P1.1) will go high).

In Mode 2, the duty cycle of the PWM outputs and the resolution
of the PWM outputs are both programmable. The maximum
resolution of the PWM output is eight bits.

PWM1H/L
PWM1L sets the period for both PWM outputs. Typically this will
be 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 P1.0 and P1.1 are shown in Figure 28.
As can be seen, the output of PWM0 (P1.0) goes low when the
PWM counter equals PWM0L. The output of PWM1 (P1.1)
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.

equal to 12.58 MHz.
PWM1H
PWM0L
In this mode, P1.0 and P1.1 are updated every PWM clock
(80 ns in the case of 12.58 MHz). Over any 65536 cycles (16-bit
PWM), PWM0 (P1.0) is high for PWM0H/L cycles and low for
(65536 – PWM0H/L) cycles. Similarly, PWM1 (P1.1) is high for
PWM1H/L cycles and low for (65536 – PWM1H/L) cycles.
If PWM1H is set to 4010H (slightly above one quarter of FS),
then typically P1.1 will be low for three clocks and high for one
clock (each clock is approximately 80 ns). Over every 65536
clocks, the PWM will compromise 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

example, only 12-bit performance is required, write 0001 to the
4 LSBs. This means that a 12-bit accurate - DAC output can
occur at 3 kHz. Similarly, writing 00000001 to the 8 LSBs gives
an 8-bit accurate - DAC output at 49 kHz.

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 0AVDD to 0AVDD/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)
then P1.1 will typically be low for three full clocks (3 80 ns),
high for half a clock (40 ns) and then low again for half a clock
(40 ns) before repeating itself. Over every 65536 clocks, the
PWM will compromise 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 every so often.
For faster DAC outputs (at lower resolution), write 0s to the
LSBs that are not required with a 1 in the LSB position. If, for
example, only 12-bit performance is required, write 0001 to the
4 LSBs. This means that a 12-bit accurate - DAC output can
occur at 3 kHz. Similarly, writing 00000001 to the 8 LSBs gives

ADuC836
TIME INTERVAL COUNTER (WAKE-UP/RTC TIMER)
If the ADuC836 is in Power-Down mode, again with TIC interrupt enabled, the TII bit will wake up the device and resume
code execution by vectoring directly to the TIC interrupt service
vector address at 0053H. The TIC-related SFRs are described in
Table XVIII with a block diagram of the TIC shown in Figure 33.
A time interval counter (TIC) is provided on-chip for:
Periodically waking up the part from power-down
Implementing a real-time clock
Counting longer intervals than the standard 8051 compatible
timers are capable of
TCEN
The TIC is capable of timeout intervals ranging from 1/128th
second to 255 hours. Furthermore, this counter is clocked by the
crystal oscillator rather than the by PLL, and thus 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.

The TIC counter can easily be used to generate a real-time

however, user software will have to count in days, months, and
years. The current time can be written to the timebase SFRs
(HTHSEC, SEC, MIN, and HOUR) while TCEN is low. When
the RTC timer is enabled (TCEN is set), the TCEN bit itself and
the HTHSEC, SEC, MIN, and HOUR Registers are not reset to
00H after a hardware or watchdog timer reset. This is to prevent
the need to recalibrate the real-time clock after a reset. However,
these registers will be reset to 00H after a power cycle (independent of TCEN) or after any reset if TCEN is clear.

WATCHDOG TIMER
amount of time (see PRE3–0 bits in WDCON). The watchdog
timer itself is a 16-bit counter that is clocked at 32.768 kHz. The
watchdog timeout interval can be adjusted via the PRE3–0 bits in
WDCON. Full control and status of the watchdog timer function
can be controlled via the Watchdog Timer Control SFR (WDCON).
The WDCON SFR can only be written by user software if the
double write sequence described in WDWR below is initiated on
every write access to the WDCON SFR.
The purpose of the watchdog timer is to generate a device reset
or interrupt within a reasonable amount of time if the ADuC836
enters an erroneous state, possibly due to a programming error,
electrical noise, or RFI. The watchdog function can be disabled
by clearing the WDE (Watchdog Enable) bit in the Watchdog

ADuC836
SERIAL PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
MISO (Master In, Slave Out Data I/O Pin), Pin 14
The ADuC836 integrates a complete hardware Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI) interface on-chip. SPI is an industry-standard
synchronous serial interface that allows eight bits of data to be
synchronously transmitted and received simultaneously, i.e., fullduplex. It should be noted that the SPI pins SCLOCK and MOSI
are multiplexed with the I2C pins SCLOCK and SDATA. The pins
are controlled via the I2CCON SFR only if SPE is clear. SPI can
be configured for master or slave operation and typically consists of
four pins:
The MISO (master in slave out) pin is configured as an input line
in Master mode and 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 bytewide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
SCLOCK (Serial Clock I/O Pin), Pin 26
The master 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 XXI). In Slave mode, the SPICON register will have
to be configured with the phase and polarity (CPHA and CPOL)
as the master, as for both Master and Slave modes the data is
transmitted on one edge of the SCLOCK signal and sampled on
the other.
MOSI (Master Out, Slave In Pin), Pin 27
The MOSI (master out slave in) pin is configured as an output
line in Master mode and 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 bytewide (8-bit) serial data, MSB first.
SS (Slave Select Input Pin), Pin 13
The Slave Select (SS) input pin is only used when the ADuC836
is configured in SPI Slave mode. This line is active low. Data is
only received or transmitted in Slave mode when the SS pin is low,
allowing the ADuC836 to be used in single master, multislave SPI
configurations. If CPHA = 1, the SS input may be permanently
pulled low. With 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
(Pin 13) can be read via the SPR0 bit in the SPICON SFR.
The following SFR registers 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. It should also be noted that the SS pin
is not used in Master mode. If the ADuC836 needs 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 have been
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.

In Slave mode, the SCLOCK is an input. The SS pin must also
be driven low externally during the byte communication. Transmission 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 have been 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.

ADuC836
The main features of the MicroConverter I2C interface are:
Once enabled in I2C Slave mode, the slave controller waits for
a START condition. If the ADuC836 detects a valid start condition followed by a valid address, and by the R/W bit, the I2CI
interrupt bit will be automatically set by hardware.
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 (Figure 35).
