1. Introduction
The P89LPC924/925 are single-chip microcontrollers designed for applications
demanding high-integration, low cost solutions over a wide range of performance
requirements. The P89LPC924/925 is based on a high performance processor
architecture that executes instructions in two to four clocks, six times the rate of standard
80C51 devices. Many system-level functions have been incorporated into the
P89LPC924/925 in order to reduce component count, board space, and system cost.

Description
[1]

Port 1: Port 1 is an 8-bit I/O port with a user-configurable output type, except for three
pins as noted below. During reset Port 1 latches are configured in the input only mode
with the internal pull-up disabled. The operation of the configurable Port 1 pins as inputs
and outputs depends upon the port configuration selected. Each of the configurable port
pins are programmed independently. Refer to Section 5.1 “Port configurations” for
details.
P1.2 and P1.3 are open drain when used as outputs. P1.5 is input only.
All pins have Schmitt triggered inputs.
Port 1 also provides various special functions as described below:

12

I/O

P1.0 — Port 1 bit 0.

O

TXD — Transmitter output for the serial port.

I/O

P1.1 — Port 1 bit 1.

I

RXD — Receiver input for the serial port.

I/O

P1.2 — Port 1 bit 2 (open-drain when used as output).

I/O

T0 — Timer/counter 0 external count input or overflow output (open-drain when used as
output).

I/O

SCL — I2C serial clock input/output.

I/O

P1.3 — Port 1 bit 3 (open-drain when used as output).

I

INT0 — External interrupt 0 input.

I/O

SDA — I2C serial data input/output.

I/O

P1.4 — Port 1 bit 4.

I

INT1 — External interrupt 1 input.

I

P1.5 — Port 1 bit 5 (input only).

I

RST — External Reset input (if selected via FLASH configuration). A LOW on this pin
resets the microcontroller, causing I/O ports and peripherals to take on their default
states, and the processor begins execution at address 0. When using an oscillator
frequency above 12 MHz, the reset input function of P1.5 must be enabled. An
external circuit is required to hold the device in reset at powerup until VDD has
reached its specified level. When system power is removed VDD will fall below the
minimum specified operating voltage. When using an oscillator frequency above
12 MHz, in some applications, an external brownout detect circuit may be
required to hold the device in reset when VDD falls below the minimum specified
operating voltage.

XTAL2 — Output from the oscillator amplifier (when a crystal oscillator option is
selected via the FLASH configuration.

O

CLKOUT — CPU clock divided by 2 when enabled via SFR bit (ENCLK - TRIM.6). It
can be used if the CPU clock is the internal RC oscillator, Watchdog oscillator or
external clock input, except when XTAL1/XTAL2 are used to generate clock source for
the real time clock/system timer.

I/O

P3.1 — Port 3 bit 1.

I

XTAL1 — Input to the oscillator circuit and internal clock generator circuits (when
selected via the FLASH configuration). It can be a port pin if internal RC oscillator or
Watchdog oscillator is used as the CPU clock source, and if XTAL1/XTAL2 are not used
to generate the clock for the real time clock/system timer.

1.2 Special function registers
Remark: Special Function Registers (SFRs) accesses are restricted in the following ways:

• User must not attempt to access any SFR locations not defined.
• Accesses to any defined SFR locations must be strictly for the functions for the SFRs.
• SFR bits labeled ‘-’, ‘0’ or ‘1’ can only be written and read as follows:
– ‘-’ Unless otherwise specified, must be written with ‘0’, but can return any value
when read (even if it was written with ‘0’). It is a reserved bit and may be used in
future derivatives.
– ‘0’ must be written with ‘0’, and will return a ‘0’ when read.
– ‘1’ must be written with ‘1’, and will return a ‘1’ when read.

2. Clocks
2.1 Enhanced CPU
The P89LPC924/925 uses an enhanced 80C51 CPU which runs at six times the speed of
standard 80C51 devices. A machine cycle consists of two CPU clock cycles, and most
instructions execute in one or two machine cycles.

2.2 Clock definitions
The P89LPC924/925 device has several internal clocks as defined below:
OSCCLK — Input to the DIVM clock divider. OSCCLK is selected from one of four clock
sources and can also be optionally divided to a slower frequency (see Figure 5 and
Section 2.8 “CPU Clock (CCLK) modification: DIVM register”). Note: fosc is defined as the
OSCCLK frequency.
CCLK — CPU clock; output of the DIVM clock divider. There are two CCLK cycles per
machine cycle, and most instructions are executed in one to two machine cycles (two or
four CCLK cycles).
RCCLK — The internal 7.373 MHz RC oscillator output.
PCLK — Clock for the various peripheral devices and is CCLK/2.

2.2.1 Oscillator Clock (OSCCLK)
The P89LPC924/925 provides several user-selectable oscillator options. This allows
optimization for a range of needs from high precision to lowest possible cost. These
options are configured when the FLASH is programmed and include an on-chip Watchdog
oscillator, an on-chip RC oscillator, an oscillator using an external crystal, or an external
clock source. The crystal oscillator can be optimized for low, medium, or high frequency
crystals covering a range from 20 kHz to 18 MHz.

2.2.2 Low speed oscillator option
This option supports an external crystal in the range of 20 kHz to 100 kHz. Ceramic
resonators are also supported in this configuration.

2.2.3 Medium speed oscillator option
This option supports an external crystal in the range of 100 kHz to 4 MHz. Ceramic
resonators are also supported in this configuration.

2.2.4 High speed oscillator option
This option supports an external crystal in the range of 4 MHz to 18 MHz. Ceramic
resonators are also supported in this configuration.When using an oscillator frequency
above 12 MHz, the reset input function of P1.5 must be enabled. An external circuit
is required to hold the device in reset at powerup until VDD has reached its specified
level. When system power is removed VDD will fall below the minimum specified
operating voltage. When using an oscillator frequency above 12 MHz, in some
applications, an external brownout detect circuit may be required to hold the device
in reset when VDD falls below the minimum specified operating voltage.

2.3 Clock output
The P89LPC924/925 supports a user-selectable clock output function on the XTAL2 /
CLKOUT pin when the crystal oscillator is not being used. This condition occurs if a
different clock source has been selected (on-chip RC oscillator, Watchdog oscillator,
external clock input on X1) and if the Real-time Clock is not using the crystal oscillator as
its clock source. This allows external devices to synchronize to the P89LPC924/925. This
output is enabled by the ENCLK bit in the TRIM register.
The frequency of this clock output is 1⁄2 that of the CCLK. If the clock output is not needed
in Idle mode, it may be turned off prior to entering Idle, saving additional power. Note: on
reset, the TRIM SFR is initialized with a factory preprogrammed value. Therefore when
setting or clearing the ENCLK bit, the user should retain the contents of bits 5:0 of the
TRIM register. This can be done by reading the contents of the TRIM register (into the
ACC for example), modifying bit 6, and writing this result back into the TRIM register.
Alternatively, the ‘ANL direct’ or ‘ORL direct’ instructions can be used to clear or set bit 6
of the TRIM register.

Note: The oscillator must be configured in one of the following modes: Low frequency crystal,
medium frequency crystal, or high frequency crystal.
(1) A series resistor may be required to limit crystal drive levels. This is especially important for low
frequency crystals (see text).

Fig 4. Using the crystal oscillator.

2.4 On-chip RC oscillator option
The P89LPC924/925 has a TRIM register that can be used to tune the frequency of the
RC oscillator. During reset, the TRIM value is initialized to a factory pre-programmed
value to adjust the oscillator frequency to 7.373 MHz, ± 1 %. (Note: the initial value is
better than 1 %; please refer to the data sheet for behavior over temperature). End user
applications can write to the TRIM register to adjust the on-chip RC oscillator to other
frequencies. Increasing the TRIM value will decrease the oscillator frequency.

2.5 Watchdog oscillator option
The Watchdog has a separate oscillator which has a frequency of 400 kHz. This oscillator
can be used to save power when a high clock frequency is not needed.

2.6 External clock input option
In this configuration, the processor clock is derived from an external source driving the
XTAL1 / P3.1 pin. The rate may be from 0 Hz up to 18 MHz. The XTAL2 / P3.0 pin may be
used as a standard port pin or a clock output. When using an oscillator frequency
above 12 MHz, the reset input function of P1.5 must be enabled. An external circuit
is required to hold the device in reset at powerup until VDD has reached its specified
level. When system power is removed VDD will fall below the minimum specified
operating voltage. When using an oscillator frequency above 12 MHz, in some
applications, an external brownout detect circuit may be required to hold the device
in reset when VDD falls below the minimum specified operating voltage.

2.7 Oscillator Clock (OSCCLK) wake-up delay
The P89LPC924/925 has an internal wake-up timer that delays the clock until it stabilizes
depending to the clock source used. If the clock source is any of the three crystal
selections, the delay is 992 OSCCLK cycles plus 60 µs to 100 µs. If the clock source is
either the internal RC oscillator or the Watchdog oscillator, the delay is 224 OSCCLK
cycles plus 60 µs to 100 µs.

2.8 CPU Clock (CCLK) modification: DIVM register
The OSCCLK frequency can be divided down, by an integer, up to 510 times by
configuring a dividing register, DIVM, to provide CCLK. This produces the CCLK
frequency using the following formula:
CCLK frequency = fosc / (2N)
Where: fosc is the frequency of OSCCLK
N is the value of DIVM.
Since N ranges from 0 to 255, the CCLK frequency can be in the range of fosc to fosc/510.
(for N = 0, CCLK = fosc).
This feature makes it possible to temporarily run the CPU at a lower rate, reducing power
consumption. By dividing the clock, the CPU can retain the ability to respond to events
other than those that can cause interrupts (i.e., events that allow exiting the Idle mode) by
executing its normal program at a lower rate. This can often result in lower power
consumption than in Idle mode. This can allow bypassing the oscillator start-up time in
cases where Power-down mode would otherwise be used. The value of DIVM may be
changed by the program at any time without interrupting code execution.

2.9 Low power select
The P89LPC924/925 is designed to run at 12 MHz (CCLK) maximum. However, if CCLK
is 8 MHz or slower, the CLKLP SFR bit (AUXR1.7) can be set to a logic 1 to lower the
power consumption further. On any reset, CLKLP is logic 0 allowing highest performance.
This bit can then be set in software if CCLK is running at 8 MHz or slower.

3. A/D converter
The P89LPC924/925 has an 8-bit, 4-channel, multiplexed successive approximation
analog-to-digital converter module (ADC1) and one DAC module (DAC1). A block diagram
of the A/D converter is shown in Figure 6. The A/D consists of a 4-input multiplexer which
feeds a sample and hold circuit providing an input signal to one of two comparator inputs.
The control logic in combination with the successive approximation register (SAR) drives a
digital-to-analog converter which provides the other input to the comparator. The output of
the comparator is fed to the SAR.

3.2 A/D operating modes
3.2.1 Fixed channel, single conversion mode
A single input channel can be selected for conversion. A single conversion will be
performed and the result placed in the result register which corresponds to the selected
input channel (See Table 6). An interrupt, if enabled, will be generated after the conversion
completes. The input channel is selected in the ADINS register. This mode is selected by
setting the SCAN1 bit in the ADMODA register.

3.2.2 Fixed channel, continuous conversion mode
A single input channel can be selected for continuous conversion. The results of the
conversions will be sequentially placed in the four result registers Table 7. An interrupt, if
enabled, will be generated after every four conversions. Additional conversion results will
again cycle through the four result registers, overwriting the previous results. Continuous
conversions continue until terminated by the user. This mode is selected by setting the
SCC1 bit in the ADMODA register.

3.2.3 Auto scan, single conversion mode
Any combination of the four input channels can be selected for conversion by setting a
channel’s respective bit in the ADINS register. The channels are converted from LSB to
MSB order (in ADINS). A single conversion of each selected input will be performed and
the result placed in the result register which corresponds to the selected input channel
(See Table 6). An interrupt, if enabled, will be generated after all selected channels have
been converted. If only a single channel is selected this is equivalent to single channel,
single conversion mode. This mode is selected by setting the SCAN1 bit in the ADMODA
register.

conversion results will again cycle through the result registers of the selected channels,
overwriting the previous results. Continuous conversions continue until terminated by the
user. This mode is selected by setting the BURST1 bit in the ADMODA register.

3.2.5 Dual channel, continuous conversion mode
Any combination of two of the four input channels can be selected for conversion. The
result of the conversion of the first channel is placed in the first result register. The result of
the conversion of the second channel is placed in the second result register. The first
channel is again converted and its result stored in the third result register. The second
channel is again converted and its result placed in the fourth result register (See Table 8).
An interrupt is generated, if enabled, after every set of four conversions (two conversions
per channel). This mode is selected by setting the SCC1 bit in the ADMODA register.

3.2.6 Single step
This special mode allows ‘single-stepping’ in an auto scan conversion mode. Any
combination of the four input channels can be selected for conversion. After each channel
is converted, an interrupt is generated, if enabled, and the A/D waits for the next start
condition. The result of each channel is placed in the result register which corresponds to
the selected input channel (See Table 6). May be used with any of the start modes. This
mode is selected by clearing the BURST1, SCC1, and SCAN1 bits in the ADMODA
register.

3.2.7 Conversion mode selection bits
The A/D uses three bits in ADMODA to select the conversion mode. These mode bits are
summarized in Table 9, below. Combinations of the three bits, other than the combinations
shown, are undefined.

3.3 Trigger modes
3.3.1 Timer triggered start
An A/D conversion is started by the overflow of Timer 0. Once a conversion has started,
additional Timer 0 triggers are ignored until the conversion has completed. The Timer
triggered start mode is available in all A/D operating modes. This mode is selected by the
TMM1 bit and the ADCS11 and ADCS10 bits (See Table 11).

3.3.2 Start immediately
Programming this mode immediately starts a conversion. This start mode is available in all
A/D operating modes. This mode is selected by setting the ADCS11 and ADCS10 bits in
the ADCON1 register (See Table 11).

3.3.3 Edge triggered
An A/D conversion is started by rising or falling edge of P1.4. Once a conversion has
started, additional edge triggers are ignored until the conversion has completed. The edge
triggered start mode is available in all A/D operating modes. This mode is selected by
setting the ADCS11 and ADCS10 bits in the ADCON1 register (See Table 11).

3.3.4 Boundary limits interrupt
The A/D converter has both a HIGH and LOW boundary limit register. After the four MSBs
have been converted, these four bits are compared with the four MSBs of the boundary
HIGH and LOW registers. If the four MSBs of the conversion are outside the limit an
interrupt will be generated, if enabled. If the conversion result is within the limits, the
boundary limits will again be compared after all eight bits have been converted. An
interrupt will be generated, if enabled, if the result is outside the boundary limits. The
boundary limit may be disabled by clearing the boundary limit interrupt enable.

3.4 DAC output to a port pin with high-impedance
The AD0DAT3 register is used to hold the value fed to the DAC. After a value has been
written to AD0DAT3 the DAC output will appear on the DAC0 pin. The DAC output is
enabled by the ENDAC0 bit in the ADMODB register (See Table 15).

3.5 Clock divider
The A/D converter requires that its internal clock source be in the range of 500 kHz to
3.3 MHz to maintain accuracy. A programmable clock divider that divides the clock from 1
to 8 is provided for this purpose (See Table 15).

3.6 I/O pins used with A/D converter functions
The analog input pins used with for the A/D converter have a digital input and output
function. In order to give the best analog performance, pins that are being used with the
ADC or DAC should have their digital outputs and inputs disabled and have the 5 V
tolerance disconnected. Digital outputs are disabled by putting the port pins into the
input-only mode as described in the Port Configurations section (see Table 21).

Digital inputs will be disconnected automatically from these pins when the pin has been
selected by setting its corresponding bit in the ADINS register and the A/D or DAC has
been enabled. Pins selected in ADINS will be 3 V tolerant provided that the A/D is enabled
and the device is not in power-down, otherwise the pin will remain 5 V tolerant.

3.7 Power-down and idle mode
In idle mode the A/D converter, if enabled, will continue to function and can cause the
device to exit idle mode when the conversion is completed if the A/D interrupt is enabled.
In Power-down mode or Total Power-down mode, the A/D does not function. If the A/D is
enabled, it will consume power. Power can be reduced by disabling the A/D.

4. Interrupts
The P89LPC924/925 uses a four priority level interrupt structure. This allows great
flexibility in controlling the handling of the P89LPC924/925’s 12 interrupt sources.
Each interrupt source can be individually enabled or disabled by setting or clearing a bit in
the interrupt enable registers IEN0 or IEN1. The IEN0 register also contains a global
enable bit, EA, which enables all interrupts.
Each interrupt source can be individually programmed to one of four priority levels by
setting or clearing bits in the interrupt priority registers IP0, IP0H, IP1, and IP1H. An
interrupt service routine in progress can be interrupted by a higher priority interrupt, but
not by another interrupt of the same or lower priority. The highest priority interrupt service
cannot be interrupted by any other interrupt source. If two requests of different priority
levels are received simultaneously, the request of higher priority level is serviced.
If requests of the same priority level are pending at the start of an instruction cycle, an
internal polling sequence determines which request is serviced. This is called the
arbitration ranking. Note that the arbitration ranking is only used for pending requests of
the same priority level. Table 19 summarizes the interrupt sources, flag bits, vector
addresses, enable bits, priority bits, arbitration ranking, and whether each interrupt may
wake up the CPU from a Power-down mode.

4.1 Interrupt priority structure

Level 0 (lowest priority)

Level 1

Level 3

There are four SFRs associated with the four interrupt levels: IP0, IP0H, IP1, IP1H. Every
interrupt has two bits in IPx and IPxH (x = 0,1) and can therefore be assigned to one of
four levels, as shown in Table 18.
The P89LPC924/925 has two external interrupt inputs in addition to the Keypad Interrupt
function. The two interrupt inputs are identical to those present on the standard 80C51
microcontrollers.
These external interrupts can be programmed to be level-triggered or edge-triggered by
clearing or setting bit IT1 or IT0 in Register TCON. If ITn = 0, external interrupt n is
triggered by a LOW level detected at the INTn pin. If ITn = 1, external interrupt n is edge
triggered. In this mode if consecutive samples of the INTn pin show a HIGH level in one
cycle and a LOW level in the next cycle, interrupt request flag IEn in TCON is set, causing
an interrupt request.
Since the external interrupt pins are sampled once each machine cycle, an input HIGH or
LOW level should be held for at least one machine cycle to ensure proper sampling. If the
external interrupt is edge-triggered, the external source has to hold the request pin HIGH

for at least one machine cycle, and then hold it LOW for at least one machine cycle. This is
to ensure that the transition is detected and that interrupt request flag IEn is set. IEn is
automatically cleared by the CPU when the service routine is called.
If the external interrupt is level-triggered, the external source must hold the request active
until the requested interrupt is generated. If the external interrupt is still asserted when the
interrupt service routine is completed, another interrupt will be generated. It is not
necessary to clear the interrupt flag IEn when the interrupt is level sensitive, it simply
tracks the input pin level.
If an external interrupt has been programmed as level-triggered and is enabled when the
P89LPC924/925 is put into Power-down or Idle mode, the interrupt occurrence will cause
the processor to wake up and resume operation. Refer to Section 6.3 “Power reduction
modes” on page 32 for details.

4.2 External Interrupt pin glitch suppression
Most of the P89LPC924/925 pins have glitch suppression circuits to reject short glitches
(please refer to the P89LPC924/925 data sheet, Dynamic characteristics for glitch filter
specifications). However, pins SDA/INT0/P1.3 and SCL/T0/P1.2 do not have the glitch
suppression circuits. Therefore, INT1 has glitch suppression while INT0 does not.

5.1 Port configurations
All but three I/O port pins on the P89LPC924/925 may be configured by software to one of
four types on a pin-by-pin basis, as shown in Table 21. These are: quasi-bidirectional
(standard 80C51 port outputs), push-pull, open drain, and input-only. Two configuration
registers for each port select the output type for each port pin.
P1.5 (RST) can only be an input and cannot be configured.
P1.2 (SCL/T0) and P1.3 (SDA/INT0) may only be configured to be either input-only or
open drain.

5.2 Quasi-bidirectional output configuration
Quasi-bidirectional outputs can be used both as an input and output without the need to
reconfigure the port. This is possible because when the port outputs a logic HIGH, it is
weakly driven, allowing an external device to pull the pin LOW. When the pin is driven
LOW, it is driven strongly and able to sink a large current. There are three pull-up
transistors in the quasi-bidirectional output that serve different purposes.
One of these pull-ups, called the ‘very weak’ pull-up, is turned on whenever the port latch
for the pin contains a logic 1. This very weak pull-up sources a very small current that will
pull the pin HIGH if it is left floating.
A second pull-up, called the ‘weak’ pull-up, is turned on when the port latch for the pin
contains a logic 1 and the pin itself is also at a logic 1 level. This pull-up provides the
primary source current for a quasi-bidirectional pin that is outputting a 1. If this pin is
pulled LOW by an external device, the weak pull-up turns off, and only the very weak
pull-up remains on. In order to pull the pin LOW under these conditions, the external
device has to sink enough current to overpower the weak pull-up and pull the port pin
below its input threshold voltage.
The third pull-up is referred to as the ‘strong’ pull-up. This pull-up is used to speed up
LOW-to-HIGH transitions on a quasi-bidirectional port pin when the port latch changes
from a logic 0 to a logic 1. When this occurs, the strong pull-up turns on for two CPU
clocks quickly pulling the port pin HIGH.
The quasi-bidirectional port configuration is shown in Figure 8.
Although the P89LPC924/925 is a 3 V device most of the pins are 5 V-tolerant. If 5 V is
applied to a pin configured in quasi-bidirectional mode, there will be a current flowing from
the pin to VDD causing extra power consumption. Therefore, applying 5 V to pins
configured in quasi-bidirectional mode is discouraged.
A quasi-bidirectional port pin has a Schmitt triggered input that also has a glitch
suppression circuit.

5.3 Open drain output configuration
The open drain output configuration turns off all pull-ups and only drives the pull-down
transistor of the port pin when the port latch contains a logic 0. To be used as a logic
output, a port configured in this manner must have an external pull-up, typically a resistor
tied to VDD. The pull-down for this mode is the same as for the quasi-bidirectional mode.
The open drain port configuration is shown in Figure 9.
An open drain port pin has a Schmitt triggered input that also has a glitch suppression
circuit.

5.5 Push-pull output configuration
The push-pull output configuration has the same pull-down structure as both the open
drain and the quasi-bidirectional output modes, but provides a continuous strong pull-up
when the port latch contains a logic 1. The push-pull mode may be used when more
source current is needed from a port output.
The push-pull port configuration is shown in Figure 11.

Digital outputs are disabled by putting the port pins into the input-only mode as described
in the Port Configurations section (see Figure 10).
Digital inputs on Port 0 may be disabled through the use of the PT0AD register. Bits 1
through 5 in this register correspond to pins P0.1 through P0.5 of Port 0, respectively.
Setting the corresponding bit in PT0AD disables that pin’s digital input. Port bits that have
their digital inputs disabled will be read as logic 0 by any instruction that accesses the
port.
On any reset, PT0AD bits 1 through 5 default to logic 0s to enable the digital functions.

5.7 Additional port features
After power-up, all pins are in Input-Only mode. Please note that this is different from
the LPC76x series of devices.

• After power-up, all I/O pins except P1.5, may be configured by software.
• Pin P1.5 is input only. Pins P1.2 and P1.3 are configurable for either input-only or
open drain.
Every output on the P89LPC924/925 has been designed to sink typical LED drive current.
However, there is a maximum total output current for all ports which must not be
exceeded. Please refer to the P89LPC924/925 data sheet for detailed specifications.
All ports pins that can function as an output have slew rate controlled outputs to limit noise
generated by quickly switching output signals. The slew rate is factory-set to
approximately 10 ns rise and fall times.

6. Power monitoring functions
The P89LPC924/925 incorporates power monitoring functions designed to prevent
incorrect operation during initial power-on and power loss or reduction during operation.
This is accomplished with two hardware functions: Power-on Detect and Brownout Detect.

6.1 Brownout detection
The Brownout Detect function determines if the power supply voltage drops below a
certain level. The default operation for a Brownout Detection is to cause a processor reset.
However, it may alternatively be configured to generate an interrupt by setting the BOI
(PCON.4) bit and the EBO (IEN0.5) bit.
Enabling and disabling of Brownout Detection is done via the BOPD (PCON.5) bit, bit field
PMOD1-0 (PCON.1-0) and user configuration bit BOE (UCFG1.5). If BOE is in an
unprogrammed state, brownout is disabled regardless of PMOD1-0 and BOPD. If BOE is
in a programmed state, PMOD1-0 and BOPD will be used to determine whether Brownout
Detect will be disabled or enabled. PMOD1-0 is used to select the power reduction mode.
If PMOD1-0 = ‘11’, the circuitry for the Brownout Detection is disabled for lowest power
consumption. BOPD defaults to logic 0, indicating brownout detection is enabled on
power-on if BOE is programmed.
If Brownout Detection is enabled, the brownout condition occurs when VDD falls below the
Brownout trip voltage, VBO (see P89LPC924/925 Static Characteristics), and is negated
when VDD rises above VBO. If the P89LPC924/925 device is to operate with a power
supply that can be below 2.7 V, BOE should be left in the unprogrammed state so that the
device can operate at 2.4 V, otherwise continuous brownout reset may prevent the device
from operating.
If Brownout Detect is enabled (BOE programmed, PMOD1-0 ≠ ‘11’, BOPD = 0), BOF
(RSTSRC.5) will be set when a brownout is detected, regardless of whether a reset or an
interrupt is enabled. BOF will stay set until it is cleared in software by writing logic 0 to the
bit. Note that if BOE is unprogrammed, BOF is meaningless. If BOE is programmed, and a
initial power-on occurs, BOF will be set in addition to the power-on flag (POF RSTSRC.4).
For correct activation of Brownout Detect, certain VDD rise and fall times must be
observed. Please see the data sheet for specifications.

The Power-On Detect has a function similar to the Brownout Detect, but is designed to
work as power initially comes up, before the power supply voltage reaches a level where
the Brownout Detect can function. The POF flag (RSTSRC.4) is set to indicate an initial
power-on condition. The POF flag will remain set until cleared by software by writing
logic 0 to the bit. Note that if BOE (UCFG1.5) is programmed, BOF (RSTSRC.5) will be
set when POF is set. If BOE is unprogrammed, BOF is meaningless.

6.3 Power reduction modes
The P89LPC924/925 supports three different power reduction modes as determined by
SFR bits PCON.1-0 (see Table 24).

Power-down mode:
The Power-down mode stops the oscillator in order to minimize power consumption.
The P89LPC924/925 exits Power-down mode via any reset, or certain interrupts - external pins
INT0/INT1, brownout Interrupt, keyboard, Real-time Clock/System Timer), Watchdog, and
comparator trips. Waking up by reset is only enabled if the corresponding reset is enabled, and
waking up by interrupt is only enabled if the corresponding interrupt is enabled and the EA SFR bit
(IEN0.7) is set. External interrupts should be programmed to level-triggered mode to be used to exit
Power-down mode.
In Power-down mode the internal RC oscillator is disabled unless both the RC oscillator has been
selected as the system clock AND the RTC is enabled.
In Power-down mode, the power supply voltage may be reduced to the RAM keep-alive voltage
VRAM. This retains the RAM contents at the point where Power-down mode was entered. SFR
contents are not guaranteed after VDD has been lowered to VRAM, therefore it is recommended to
wake up the processor via Reset in this situation. VDD must be raised to within the operating range
before the Power-down mode is exited.
When the processor wakes up from Power-down mode, it will start the oscillator immediately and
begin execution when the oscillator is stable. Oscillator stability is determined by counting 1024
CPU clocks after start-up when one of the crystal oscillator configurations is used, or 256 clocks
after start-up for the internal RC or external clock input configurations.
Some chip functions continue to operate and draw power during Power-down mode, increasing the
total power used during power-down. These include:

•
•
•

Brownout Detect

•

Real-time Clock/System Timer (and the crystal oscillator circuitry if this block is using it, unless
RTCPD, i.e., PCONA.7 is logic 1)

Watchdog timer if WDCLK (WDCON.0) is logic 1
Comparators (Note: Comparators can be powered down separately with PCONA.5 set to
logic 1 and comparators disabled)

Total Power-down mode: This is the same as Power-down mode except that the Brownout
Detection circuitry and the voltage comparators are also disabled to conserve additional power.
Note that a brownout reset or interrupt will not occur. Voltage comparator interrupts and Brownout
interrupt cannot be used as a wake-up source. The internal RC oscillator is disabled unless both
the RC oscillator has been selected as the system clock AND the RTC is enabled.
The following are the wake-up options supported:

•

Watchdog timer if WDCLK (WDCON.0) is logic 1. Could generate Interrupt or Reset, either one
can wake up the device

•
•
•

External interrupts INTO/INT1 (when programmed to level-triggered mode)
Keyboard Interrupt
Real-time Clock/System Timer (and the crystal oscillator circuitry if this block is using it, unless
RTCPD, i.e., PCONA.7 is logic 1)

Note: Using the internal RC-oscillator to clock the RTC during power-down may result in relatively
high power consumption. Lower power consumption can be achieved by using an external low
frequency clock when the Real-time Clock is running during power-down.

7. Reset
The P1.5/RST pin can function as either an active LOW reset input or as a digital input,
P1.5. The RPE (Reset Pin Enable) bit in UCFG1, when set to 1, enables the external reset
input function on P1.5. When cleared, P1.5 may be used as an input pin. When using an
oscillator frequency above 12 MHz, the reset input function of P1.5 must be
enabled. An external circuit is required to hold the device in reset at powerup until
VDD has reached its specified level. When system power is removed VDD will fall
below the minimum specified operating voltage. When using an oscillator
frequency above 12 MHz, in some applications, an external brownout detect circuit
may be required to hold the device in reset when VDD falls below the minimum
specified operating voltage.
NOTE: During a power-on sequence, The RPE selection is overridden and this pin will
always functions as a reset input. An external circuit connected to this pin should not hold
this pin LOW during a Power-on sequence as this will keep the device in reset. After
power-on this input will function either as an external reset input or as a digital input as
defined by the RPE bit. Only a power-on reset will temporarily override the selection
defined by RPE bit. Other sources of reset will not override the RPE bit.
NOTE: During a power cycle, VDD must fall below VPOR (see P89LPC924/925 data sheet,
Static characteristics) before power is reapplied, in order to ensure a power-on reset.
Reset can be triggered from the following sources (see Figure 12):

External reset pin (during power-on or if user configured via UCFG1)
Power-on Detect
Brownout Detect

For every reset source, there is a flag in the Reset Register, RSTSRC. The user can read
this register to determine the most recent reset source. These flag bits can be cleared in
software by writing a logic 0 to the corresponding bit. More than one flag bit may be set:

• During a power-on reset, both POF and BOF are set but the other flag bits are
cleared.

• For any other reset, any previously set flag bits that have not been cleared will remain
set.

UART break reset occurs or the non-volatile Boot Status bit (BOOTSTAT.0) = 1, or the
device has been forced into ISP mode. Otherwise, instructions will be fetched from
address 0000H.

8. Timers 0 and 1
The P89LPC924/925 has two general-purpose counter/timers which are upward
compatible with the 80C51 Timer 0 and Timer 1. Both can be configured to operate either
as timers or event counters (see Table 32). An option to automatically toggle the TX pin
upon timer overflow has been added.
In the ‘Timer’ function, the timer is incremented every PCLK.
In the ‘Counter’ function, the register is incremented in response to a 1-to-0 transition on
its corresponding external input pin (T0 or T1). The external input is sampled once during
every machine cycle. When the pin is HIGH during one cycle and LOW in the next cycle,
the count is incremented. The new count value appears in the register during the cycle
following the one in which the transition was detected. Since it takes 2 machine cycles (4
CPU clocks) to recognize a 1-to-0 transition, the maximum count rate is 1⁄4 of the CPU
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 should be held
for at least one full machine cycle.
The ‘Timer’ or ‘Counter’ function is selected by control bits TnC/T (x = 0 and 1 for Timers 0
and 1 respectively) in the Special Function Register TMOD. Timer 0 and Timer 1 have five
operating modes (modes 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6), which are selected by bit-pairs (TnM1, TnM0)
in TMOD and TnM2 in TAMOD. Modes 0, 1, 2 and 6 are the same for both
Timers/Counters. Mode 3 is different. The operating modes are described later in this
section.

8.1 Mode 0
Putting either Timer into Mode 0 makes it look like an 8048 Timer, which is an 8-bit
Counter with a divide-by-32 prescaler. Figure 13 shows Mode 0 operation.
In this mode, the Timer register is configured as a 13-bit register. As the count rolls over
from all logic 1s to all logic 0s, it sets the Timer interrupt flag TFn. The count input is
enabled to the Timer when TRn = 1 and either TnGATE = 0 or INTn = 1. (Setting
TnGATE = 1 allows the Timer to be controlled by external input INTn, to facilitate pulse
width measurements). TRn is a control bit in the Special Function Register TCON
(Table 36). The TnGATE bit is in the TMOD register.
The 13-bit register consists of all 8 bits of THn and the lower 5 bits of TLn. The upper
3 bits of TLn are indeterminate and should be ignored. Setting the run flag (TRn) does not
clear the registers.
Mode 0 operation is the same for Timer 0 and Timer 1. See Figure 13. There are two
different GATE bits, one for Timer 1 (TMOD.7) and one for Timer 0 (TMOD.3).

8.2 Mode 1
Mode 1 is the same as Mode 0, except that all 16 bits of the timer register (THn and TLn)
are used. See Figure 14.

8.3 Mode 2
Mode 2 configures the Timer register as an 8-bit Counter (TLn) with automatic reload, as
shown in Figure 15. Overflow from TLn not only sets TFn, but also reloads TLn with the
contents of THn, which must be preset by software. The reload leaves THn unchanged.
Mode 2 operation is the same for Timer 0 and Timer 1.

8.4 Mode 3
When Timer 1 is in Mode 3 it is stopped. The effect is the same as setting TR1 = 0.
Timer 0 in Mode 3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate 8-bit counters. The logic for
Mode 3 on Timer 0 is shown in Figure 16. TL0 uses the Timer 0 control bits: T0C/T,
T0GATE, 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 that require an extra 8-bit timer. With Timer 0 in Mode
3, an P89LPC924/925 device can look like it has three Timer/Counters.
Note: When Timer 0 is in Mode 3, Timer 1 can be turned on and off by switching it into and
out of its own Mode 3. It can still be used by the serial port as a baud rate generator, or in
any application not requiring an interrupt.

8.5 Mode 6
In this mode, the corresponding timer can be changed to a PWM with a full period of 256
timer clocks (see Figure 17). Its structure is similar to mode 2, except that:

•
•
•
•

TFn (n = 0 and 1 for Timers 0 and 1 respectively) is set and cleared in hardware
The LOW period of the TFn is in THn, and should be between 1 and 254, and
The HIGH period of the TFn is always 256 − THn
Loading THn with 00h will force the TX pin HIGH, loading THn with FFh will force the
TX pin LOW

Note that interrupt can still be enabled on the LOW to HIGH transition of TFn, and that
TFn can still be cleared in software like in any other modes.

Timers 0 and 1 can be configured to automatically toggle a port output whenever a timer
overflow occurs. The same device pins that are used for the T0 and T1 count inputs and
PWM outputs are also used for the timer toggle outputs. This function is enabled by
control bits ENT0 and ENT1 in the AUXR1 register, and apply to Timer 0 and Timer 1
respectively. The port outputs will be a logic 1 prior to the first timer overflow when this
mode is turned on. In order for this mode to function, the C/T bit must be cleared selecting
PCLK as the clock source for the timer.

9. Real-time clock system timer
The P89LPC924/925 has a simple Real-time Clock/System Timer that allows a user to
continue running an accurate timer while the rest of the device is powered down. The
Real-time Clock can be an interrupt or a wake-up source (see Figure 18).

The Real-time Clock is a 23-bit down counter. The clock source for this counter can be
either the CPU clock (CCLK) or the XTAL1-2 oscillator, provided that the XTAL1-2
oscillator is not being used as the CPU clock. If the XTAL1-2 oscillator is used as the CPU
clock, then the RTC will use CCLK as its clock source regardless of the state of the
RTCS1:0 in the RTCCON register. There are three SFRs used for the RTC:
RTCCON — Real-time Clock control.
RTCH — Real-time Clock counter reload HIGH (bits [22:15]).
RTCL — Real-time Clock counter reload LOW (bits [14:7]).
The Real-time clock system timer can be enabled by setting the RTCEN (RTCCON.0) bit.
The Real-time Clock is a 23-bit down counter (initialized to all 0’s when RTCEN = 0) that is
comprised of a 7-bit prescaler and a 16-bit loadable down counter. When RTCEN is
written with logic 1, the counter is first loaded with (RTCH, RTCL, ‘1111111’) and will
count down. When it reaches all 0’s, the counter will be reloaded again with (RTCH,
RTCL, ‘1111111’) and a flag - RTCF (RTCCON.7) - will be set.

9.1 Real-time clock source
RTCS1-0 (RTCCON[6:5]) are used to select the clock source for the RTC if either the
Internal RC oscillator or the internal WD oscillator is used as the CPU clock. If the internal
crystal oscillator or the external clock input on XTAL1 is used as the CPU clock, then the
RTC will use CCLK as its clock source.

9.2 Changing RTCS1-0
RTCS1-0 cannot be changed if the RTC is currently enabled (RTCCON.0 = 1). Setting
RTCEN and updating RTCS1-0 may be done in a single write to RTCCON. However, if
RTCEN = 1, this bit must first be cleared before updating RTCS1-0.

9.3 Real-time clock interrupt/wake-up
If ERTC (RTCCON.1), EWDRT (IEN1[6:0]) and EA (IEN0.7) are set to logic 1, RTCF can
be used as an interrupt source. This interrupt vector is shared with the Watchdog timer. It
can also be a source to wake up the device.

9.4 Reset sources affecting the Real-time clock
Only power-on reset will reset the Real-time Clock and its associated SFRs to their default
state.

10. UART
The P89LPC924/925 has an enhanced UART that is compatible with the conventional
80C51 UART except that Timer 2 overflow cannot be used as a baud rate source. The
P89LPC924/925 does include an independent Baud Rate Generator. The baud rate can
be selected from the oscillator (divided by a constant), Timer 1 overflow, or the
independent Baud Rate Generator. In addition to the baud rate generation, enhancements
over the standard 80C51 UART include Framing Error detection, break detect, automatic
address recognition, selectable double buffering and several interrupt options.
The UART can be operated in four modes, as described in the following sections.

10.1 Mode 0
Serial data enters and exits through RXD. TXD outputs the shift clock. 8 bits are
transmitted or received, LSB first. The baud rate is fixed at 1⁄16 of the CPU clock frequency.

10.2 Mode 1
10 bits are transmitted (through TXD) or received (through RXD): a start bit (logic 0), 8
data bits (LSB first), and a stop bit (logic 1). When data is received, the stop bit is stored in
RB8 in Special Function Register SCON. The baud rate is variable and is determined by
the Timer 1 overflow rate or the Baud Rate Generator (see Section 10.6 “Baud Rate
generator and selection”).

10.3 Mode 2
11 bits are transmitted (through TXD) or received (through RXD): start bit (logic 0), 8 data
bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data bit, and a stop bit (logic 1). When data is
transmitted, the 9th data bit (TB8 in SCON) can be assigned the value of 0 or 1. Or, for
example, the parity bit (P, in the PSW) could be moved into TB8. When data is received,
the 9th data bit goes into RB8 in Special Function Register SCON and the stop bit is not
saved. The baud rate is programmable to either 1⁄16 or 1⁄32 of the CCLK frequency, as
determined by the SMOD1 bit in PCON.

10.4 Mode 3
11 bits are transmitted (through TXD) or received (through RXD): a start bit (logic 0), 8
data bits (LSB first), a programmable 9th data bit, and a stop bit (logic 1). Mode 3 is the
same as Mode 2 in all respects except baud rate. The baud rate in Mode 3 is variable and
is determined by the Timer 1 overflow rate or the Baud Rate Generator (see Section 10.6
“Baud Rate generator and selection” on page 45).
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.

10.6 Baud Rate generator and selection
The P89LPC924/925 enhanced UART has an independent Baud Rate Generator. The
baud rate is determined by a value programmed into the BRGR1 and BRGR0 SFRs. The
UART can use either Timer 1 or the baud rate generator output as determined by
BRGCON.2-1 (see Figure 19). Note that Timer T1 is further divided by 2 if the SMOD1 bit
(PCON.7) is set. The independent Baud Rate Generator uses CCLK.

10.7 Updating the BRGR1 and BRGR0 SFRs
The baud rate SFRs, BRGR1 and BRGR0 must only be loaded when the Baud Rate
Generator is disabled (the BRGEN bit in the BRGCON register is logic 0). This avoids the
loading of an interim value to the baud rate generator. (CAUTION: If either BRGR0 or
BRGR1 is written when BRGEN = 1, the result is unpredictable.)

10.8 Framing error
A Framing error occurs when the stop bit is sensed as a logic 0. A Framing error is
reported in the status register (SSTAT). In addition, if SMOD0 (PCON.6) is 1, framing
errors can be made available in SCON.7. If SMOD0 is 0, SCON.7 is SM0. It is
recommended that SM0 and SM1 (SCON.7-6) are programmed when SMOD0 is logic 0.

10.9 Break detect
A break detect is reported in the status register (SSTAT). A break is detected when any 11
consecutive bits are sensed LOW. Since a break condition also satisfies the requirements
for a framing error, a break condition will also result in reporting a framing error. Once a
break condition has been detected, the UART will go into an idle state and remain in this
idle state until a stop bit has been received. The break detect can be used to reset the
device and force the device into ISP mode by setting the EBRR bit (AUXR1.6).

as SM0, which with SM1, defines the serial port mode. If SMOD0 = 1, this bit is read and written as FE
(Framing Error). FE is set by the receiver when an invalid stop bit is detected. Once set, this bit cannot be
cleared by valid frames but is cleared by software. (Note: UART mode bits SM0 and SM1 should be
programmed when SMOD0 is logic 0 - default mode on any reset.)

STINT

Status Interrupt Enable. When set = 1, FE, BR, or OE can cause an interrupt. The interrupt used (vector
address 0023h) is shared with RI (CIDIS = 1) or the combined TI/RI (CIDIS = 0). When cleared = 0, FE, BR,
OE cannot cause an interrupt. (Note: FE, BR, or OE is often accompanied by a RI, which will generate an
interrupt regardless of the state of STINT). Note that BR can cause a break detect reset if EBRR (AUXR1.6)
is set to logic 1.

1

OE

Overrun Error flag is set if a new character is received in the receiver buffer while it is still full (before the
software has read the previous character from the buffer), i.e., when bit 8 of a new byte is received while RI
in SCON is still set. Cleared by software.

2

BR

Break Detect flag. A break is detected when any 11 consecutive bits are sensed LOW. Cleared by software.

3

FE

Framing error flag is set when the receiver fails to see a valid STOP bit at the end of the frame. Cleared by
software.

4

DBISEL

Double buffering transmit interrupt select. Used only if double buffering is enabled. This bit controls the
number of interrupts that can occur when double buffering is enabled. When set, one transmit interrupt is
generated after each character written to SBUF, and there is also one more transmit interrupt generated at
the beginning (INTLO = 0) or the end (INTLO = 1) of the STOP bit of the last character sent (i.e., no more
data in buffer). This last interrupt can be used to indicate that all transmit operations are over. When cleared
= 0, only one transmit interrupt is generated per character written to SBUF. Must be logic 0 when double
buffering is disabled. Note that except for the first character written (when buffer is empty), the location of the
transmit interrupt is determined by INTLO. When the first character is written, the transmit interrupt is
generated immediately after SBUF is written.

5

CIDIS

Combined Interrupt Disable. When set = 1, RX and TX interrupts are separate. When cleared = 0, the UART
uses a combined TX/RX interrupt (like a conventional 80C51 UART). This bit is reset to logic 0 to select
combined interrupts.

6

INTLO

Transmit interrupt position. When cleared = 0, the TX interrupt is issued at the beginning of the stop bit.
When set = 1, the TX interrupt is issued at end of the stop bit. Must be logic 0 for mode 0. Note that in the
case of single buffering, if the TX interrupt occurs at the end of a STOP bit, a gap may exist before the next
start bit.

7

DBMOD Double buffering mode. When set = 1 enables double buffering. Must be logic 0 for UART mode 0. In order
to be compatible with existing 80C51 devices, this bit is reset to logic 0 to disable double buffering.

10.10 More about UART Mode 0
In Mode 0, a write to SBUF will initiate a transmission. At the end of the transmission, TI
(SCON.1) is set, which must be cleared in software. Double buffering must be disabled in
this mode.
Reception is initiated by clearing RI (SCON.0). Synchronous serial transfer occurs and RI
will be set again at the end of the transfer. When RI is cleared, the reception of the next
character will begin. Refer to Figure 20.

10.11 More about UART Mode 1
Reception is initiated by detecting a 1-to-0 transition on RXD. RXD is sampled at a rate 16
times the programmed baud rate. When a transition is detected, the divide-by-16 counter
is immediately reset. Each bit time is thus divided into 16 counter states. At the 7th, 8th,
and 9th counter states, the bit detector samples the value of RXD. The value accepted is
the value that was seen in at least 2 of the 3 samples. This is done for noise rejection. If
the value accepted during the first bit time is not 0, the receive circuits are reset and the
receiver goes back to looking for another 1-to-0 transition. This provides rejection of false
start bits. If the start bit proves valid, it is shifted into the input shift register, and reception
of the rest of the frame will proceed.
The signal to load SBUF and RB8, and to set RI, will be generated if, and only if, the
following conditions are met at the time the final shift pulse is generated: RI = 0 and either
SM2 = 0 or the received stop bit = 1. If either of these two conditions is not met, the
received frame is lost. If both conditions are met, the stop bit goes into RB8, the 8 data
bits go into SBUF, and RI is activated.

10.14 Break detect
A break is detected when 11 consecutive bits are sensed LOW and is reported in the
status register (SSTAT). For Mode 1, this consists of the start bit, 8 data bits, and two stop
bit times. For Modes 2 and 3, this consists of the start bit, 9 data bits, and one stop bit.
The break detect bit is cleared in software or by a reset. The break detect can be used to
reset the device and force the device into ISP mode. This occurs if the UART is enabled
and the the EBRR bit (AUXR1.6) is set and a break occurs.

10.15 Double buffering
The UART has a transmit double buffer that allows buffering of the next character to be
written to SBUF while the first character is being transmitted. Double buffering allows
transmission of a string of characters with only one stop bit between any two characters,
provided the next character is written between the start bit and the stop bit of the previous
character.
Double buffering can be disabled. If disabled (DBMOD, i.e. SSTAT.7 = 0), the UART is
compatible with the conventional 80C51 UART. If enabled, the UART allows writing to
SnBUF while the previous data is being shifted out.

10.16 Double buffering in different modes
Double buffering is only allowed in Modes 1, 2 and 3. When operated in Mode 0, double
buffering must be disabled (DBMOD = 0).

10.17 Transmit interrupts with double buffering enabled (Modes 1,2, and 3)
Unlike the conventional UART, when double buffering is enabled, the TX interrupt is
generated when the double buffer is ready to receive new data. The following occurs
during a transmission (assuming eight data bits):
1. The double buffer is empty initially.
2. The CPU writes to SBUF.
3. The SBUF data is loaded to the shift register and a TX interrupt is generated
immediately.
4. If there is more data, go to 6, else continue.
5. If there is no more data, then:
– If DBISEL is logic 0, no more interrupts will occur.

10.19 Multiprocessor communications
UART modes 2 and 3 have a special provision for multiprocessor communications. In
these modes, 9 data bits are received or transmitted. When data is received, the 9th bit is
stored in RB8. The UART can be programmed such that when the stop bit is received, the
serial port interrupt will be activated only if RB8 = 1. This feature is enabled by setting bit
SM2 in SCON. One way to use this feature in multiprocessor systems is as follows:
When the master processor wants to transmit a block of data to one of several slaves, it
first sends out an address byte which identifies the target slave. An address byte differs
from a data byte in that the 9th bit is 1 in an address byte and 0 in a data byte. With
SM2 = 1, no slave will be interrupted by a data byte. An address byte, however, will
interrupt all slaves, so that each slave can examine the received byte and see if it is being
addressed. The addressed slave will clear its SM2 bit and prepare to receive the data
bytes that follow. The slaves that weren’t being addressed leave their SM2 bits set and go
on about their business, ignoring the subsequent data bytes.
Note that SM2 has no effect in Mode 0, and must be logic 0 in Mode 1.

10.20 Automatic address recognition
Automatic address recognition is a feature which allows the UART to recognize certain
addresses in the serial bit stream by using hardware to make the comparisons. This
feature saves a great deal of software overhead by eliminating the need for the software to
examine every serial address which passes by the serial port. This feature is enabled by
setting the SM2 bit in SCON. In the 9 bit UART modes (mode 2 and mode 3), the Receive
Interrupt flag (RI) will be automatically set when the received byte contains either the
‘Given’ address or the ‘Broadcast’ address. The 9 bit mode requires that the 9th
information bit is a 1 to indicate that the received information is an address and not data.
Using the Automatic Address Recognition feature allows a master to selectively
communicate with one or more slaves by invoking the Given slave address or addresses.
All of the slaves may be contacted by using the Broadcast address. Two special Function
Registers are used to define the slave’s address, SADDR, and the address mask,
SADEN. SADEN is used to define which bits in the SADDR are to be used and which bits
are ‘don’t care’. The SADEN mask can be logically ANDed with the SADDR to create the
‘Given’ address which the master will use for addressing each of the slaves. Use of the
Given address allows multiple slaves to be recognized while excluding others. The
following examples will help to show the versatility of this scheme:
Table 50:

Slave 0/1 examples

Example 1
Slave 0

Example 2
SADDR

SADEN
Given

Slave 1

SADDR

= 1111 1101

SADEN

= 1111 1110

= 1100 00X0

Given

= 1100 000X

In the above example SADDR is the same and the SADEN data is used to differentiate
between the two slaves. Slave 0 requires a 0 in bit 0 and it ignores bit 1. Slave 1 requires
a 0 in bit 1 and bit 0 is ignored. A unique address for Slave 0 would be 1100 0010 since
slave 1 requires a 0 in bit 1. A unique address for slave 1 would be 1100 0001 since a 1 in
bit 0 will exclude slave 0. Both slaves can be selected at the same time by an address
which has bit 0 = 0 (for slave 0) and bit 1 = 0 (for slave 1). Thus, both could be addressed
with 1100 0000.
In a more complex system the following could be used to select slaves 1 and 2 while
excluding slave 0:
Table 51:

Slave 0/1/2 examples

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Slave 0 SADDR = 1100 0000

Slave 1 SADDR = 1110 0000

Given

SADEN = 1111 1010

SADEN

= 1111 1100

Given

Given

= 1110 00XX

= 1110 0X0X

In the above example the differentiation among the 3 slaves is in the lower 3 address bits.
Slave 0 requires that bit 0 = 0 and it can be uniquely addressed by 1110 0110. Slave 1
requires that bit 1 = 0 and it can be uniquely addressed by 1110 and 0101. Slave 2
requires that bit 2 = 0 and its unique address is 1110 0011. To select Slaves 0 and 1 and
exclude Slave 2 use address 1110 0100, since it is necessary to make bit 2 = 1 to exclude
slave 2. The Broadcast Address for each slave is created by taking the logical OR of
SADDR and SADEN. Zeros in this result are treated as don’t-cares. In most cases,

interpreting the don’t-cares as ones, the broadcast address will be FF hexadecimal. Upon
reset SADDR and SADEN are loaded with 0s. This produces a given address of all ‘don’t
cares’ as well as a Broadcast address of all ‘don’t cares’. This effectively disables the
Automatic Addressing mode and allows the microcontroller to use standard UART drivers
which do not make use of this feature.

11. I2C interface
The I2C-bus uses two wires, serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA) to transfer
information between devices connected to the bus, and has the following features:

• Bidirectional data transfer between masters and slaves.
• Multimaster bus (no central master).
• Arbitration between simultaneously transmitting masters without corruption of serial
data on the bus.

• Serial clock synchronization allows devices with different bit rates to communicate via
one serial bus.

• Serial clock synchronization can be used as a handshake mechanism to suspend and
resume serial transfer.

• The I2C-bus may be used for test and diagnostic purposes.
A typical I2C-bus configuration is shown in Figure 24. Depending on the state of the
direction bit (R/W), two types of data transfers are possible on the I2C-bus:

• Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave receiver. The first byte transmitted
by the master is the slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave
returns an acknowledge bit after each received byte.

• Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The first byte (the slave
address) is transmitted by the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit.
Next follows the data bytes transmitted by the slave to the master. The master returns
an acknowledge bit after all received bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the
last received byte, a ‘not acknowledge’ is returned. The master device generates all of
the serial clock pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with
a STOP condition or with a repeated START condition. Since a repeated START
condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the I2C-bus will not be
released.
The P89LPC924/925 device provides a byte-oriented I2C interface. It has four operation
modes: Master Transmitter Mode, Master Receiver Mode, Slave Transmitter Mode and
Slave Receiver Mode.
The P89LPC924/925 CPU interfaces with the I2C-bus through six Special Function
Registers (SFRs): I2CON (I2C Control Register), I2DAT (I2C Data Register), I2STAT (I2C
Status Register), I2ADR (I2C Slave Address Register), I2SCLH (SCL Duty Cycle Register
HIGH Byte), and I2SCLL (SCL Duty Cycle Register LOW Byte).

11.1 I2C Data register
I2DAT register contains the data to be transmitted or the data received. The CPU can read
and write to this 8-bit register while it is not in the process of shifting a byte. Thus this
register should only be accessed when the SI bit is set. Data in I2DAT remains stable as
long as the SI bit is set. Data in I2DAT is always shifted from right to left: the first bit to be
transmitted is the MSB (bit 7), and after a byte has been received, the first bit of received
data is located at the MSB of I2DAT.

CRSEL determines the SCL source when the I2C-bus is in master mode. In slave mode
this bit is ignored and the bus will automatically synchronize with any clock frequency up
to 400 kHz from the master I2C device. When CRSEL = 1, the I2C interface uses the
Timer 1 overflow rate divided by 2 for the I2C clock rate. Timer 1 should be programmed
by the user in 8 bit auto-reload mode (Mode 2).
Data rate of the I2C-bus = Timer overflow rate / 2 = PCLK / (2*(256 − reload value)),
If fosc = 12 MHz, reload value is 0 to 255, so the I2C-bus data rate range is 11.72 Kbit/sec
to 3000 Kbit/sec.
When CRSEL = 0, the I2C interface uses the internal clock generator based on the value
of I2SCLL and I2CSCLH register. The duty cycle does not need to be 50 %.
The STA bit is START flag. Setting this bit causes the I2C interface to enter master mode
and attempt transmitting a START condition or transmitting a repeated START condition
when it is already in master mode.
The STO bit is STOP flag. Setting this bit causes the I2C interface to transmit a STOP
condition in master mode, or recovering from an error condition in slave mode.
If the STA and STO are both set, then a STOP condition is transmitted to the I2C-bus if it is
in master mode, and transmits a START condition afterwards. If it is in slave mode, an
internal STOP condition will be generated, but it is not transmitted to the bus.

STO

STOP Flag. STO = 1: In master mode, a STOP condition is transmitted to the I2C-bus. When the bus detects

STOP condition has been received and it switches to ‘not addressed’ Slave Receiver Mode. The STO flag is
cleared by hardware automatically.

11.5 I2C SCL duty cycle registers I2SCLH and I2SCLL
When the internal SCL generator is selected for the I2C interface by setting CRSEL = 0 in
the I2CON register, the user must set values for registers I2SCLL and I2SCLH to select
the data rate. I2SCLH defines the number of PCLK cycles for SCL = HIGH, I2SCLL
defines the number of PCLK cycles for SCL = LOW. The frequency is determined by the
following formula:
Bit Frequency = fPCLK / (2*(I2SCLH + I2SCLL))
Where fPCLK is the frequency of PCLK.
The values for I2SCLL and I2SCLH do not have to be the same; the user can give different
duty cycle’s for SCL by setting these two registers. However, the value of the register must
ensure that the data rate is in the I2C data rate range of 0 to 400 kHz. Thus the values of
I2SCLL and I2SCLH have some restrictions and values for both registers greater than 3
PCLKs are recommended.

is logic 0, it will not acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address in the
event of another device becoming master of the bus and it can not enter slave mode. STA,
STO, and SI bits must be cleared to logic 0.
The first byte transmitted contains the slave address of the receiving device (7 bits) and
the data direction bit. In this case, the data direction bit (R/W) will be logic 0 indicating a
write. Data is transmitted 8 bits at a time. After each byte is transmitted, an acknowledge
bit is received. START and STOP conditions are output to indicate the beginning and the
end of a serial transfer.
The I2C-bus will enter Master Transmitter Mode by setting the STA bit. The I2C logic will
send the START condition as soon as the bus is free. After the START condition is
transmitted, the SI bit is set, and the status code in I2STAT should be 08h. This status
code must be used to vector to an interrupt service routine where the user should load the
slave address to I2DAT (Data Register) and data direction bit (SLA+W). The SI bit must be
cleared before the data transfer can continue.

In the Master Receiver Mode, data is received from a slave transmitter. The transfer
started in the same manner as in the Master Transmitter Mode. When the START
condition has been transmitted, the interrupt service routine must load the slave address
and the data direction bit to the I2C Data Register (I2DAT). The SI bit must be cleared
before the data transfer can continue.
When the slave address and data direction bit have been transmitted and an acknowledge
bit has been received, the SI bit is set, and the Status Register will show the status code.
For master mode, the possible status codes are 40H, 48H, or 38H. For slave mode, the
possible status codes are 68H, 78H, or B0H. Refer to Table 64 for details.

11.6.3 Slave Receiver mode
In the Slave Receiver Mode, data bytes are received from a master transmitter. To
initialize the Slave Receiver Mode, the user should write the slave address to the Slave
Address Register (I2ADR) and the I2C Control Register (I2CON) should be configured as
follows:

CRSEL is not used for slave mode. I2EN must be set = 1 to enable the I2C function. AA bit
must be set = 1 to acknowledge its own slave address or the general call address. STA,
STO and SI are cleared to 0.
After I2ADR and I2CON are initialized, the interface waits until it is addressed by its own
address or general address followed by the data direction bit which is 0(W). If the direction
bit is 1(R), it will enter Slave Transmitter Mode. After the address and the direction bit have
been received, the SI bit is set and a valid status code can be read from the Status
Register (I2STAT). Refer to Table 65 for the status codes and actions.

STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. In a given
application, the I2C-bus may operate as a master and as a slave. In the slave mode, the
I2C-bus hardware looks for its own slave address and the general call address. If one of
these addresses is detected, an interrupt is requested. When the microcontrollers wishes
to become the bus master, the hardware waits until the bus is free before the master mode
is entered so that a possible slave action is not interrupted. If bus arbitration is lost in the
master mode, the I2C-bus switches to the slave mode immediately and can detect its own
slave address in the same serial transfer.

12. Analog comparators
Two analog comparators are provided on the P89LPC924/925. Input and output options
allow use of the comparators in a number of different configurations. Comparator
operation is such that the output is a logic 1 (which may be read in a register and/or routed
to a pin) when the positive input (one of two selectable pins) is greater than the negative
input (selectable from a pin or an internal reference voltage). Otherwise the output is a
zero. Each comparator may be configured to cause an interrupt when the output value
changes.

12.1 Comparator configuration
Each comparator has a control register, CMP1 for comparator 1 and CMP2 for comparator
2. The control registers are identical and are shown in Table 67.
The overall connections to both comparators are shown in Figure 31. There are eight
possible configurations for each comparator, as determined by the control bits in the
corresponding CMPn register: CPn, CNn, and OEn. These configurations are shown in
Figure 32.
When each comparator is first enabled, the comparator output and interrupt flag are not
guaranteed to be stable for 10 microseconds. The corresponding comparator interrupt
should not be enabled during that time, and the comparator interrupt flag must be cleared
before the interrupt is enabled in order to prevent an immediate interrupt service.

Comparator negative input select. When logic 0, the comparator reference pin CMPREF is selected as the
negative comparator input. When logic 1, the internal comparator reference, Vref, is selected as the
negative comparator input.

4

CPn

Comparator positive input select. When logic 0, CINnA is selected as the positive comparator input. When
logic 1, CINnB is selected as the positive comparator input.

5

An internal reference voltage, Vref, may supply a default reference when a single
comparator input pin is used. Please refer to the P89LPC924/925 data sheet for
specifications.

12.3 Comparator interrupt
Each comparator has an interrupt flag CMFn contained in its configuration register. This
flag is set whenever the comparator output changes state. The flag may be polled by
software or may be used to generate an interrupt. The two comparators use one common
interrupt vector. The interrupt will be generated when the interrupt enable bit EC in the
IEN1 register is set and the interrupt system is enabled via the EA bit in the IEN0 register.
If both comparators enable interrupts, after entering the interrupt service routine, the user
will need to read the flags to determine which comparator caused the interrupt.
When a comparator is disabled the comparator’s output, COx, goes HIGH. If the
comparator output was LOW and then is disabled, the resulting transition of the
comparator output from a LOW to HIGH state will set the comparator flag, CMFx. This will
cause an interrupt if the comparator interrupt is enabled. The user should therefore
disable the comparator interrupt prior to disabling the comparator. Additionally, the user
should clear the comparator flag, CMFx, after disabling the comparator.

12.4 Comparators and power reduction modes
Either or both comparators may remain enabled when power-down or Idle mode is
activated, but both comparators are disabled automatically in Total Power-down mode.
If a comparator interrupt is enabled (except in Total Power-down mode), a change of the
comparator output state will generate an interrupt and wake up the processor. If the
comparator output to a pin is enabled, the pin should be configured in the push-pull mode

in order to obtain fast switching times while in Power-down mode. The reason is that with
the oscillator stopped, the temporary strong pull-up that normally occurs during switching
on a quasi-bidirectional port pin does not take place.
Comparators consume power in power-down and Idle modes, as well as in the normal
operating mode. This should be taken into consideration when system power consumption
is an issue. To minimize power consumption, the user can power-down the comparators
by disabling the comparators and setting PCONA.5 to logic 1, or simply putting the device
in Total Power-down mode.

The interrupt routine used for the comparator must clear the interrupt flag (CMF1 in this

13. Keypad interrupt (KBI)
The Keypad Interrupt function is intended primarily to allow a single interrupt to be
generated when Port 0 is equal to or not equal to a certain pattern. This function can be
used for bus address recognition or keypad recognition. The user can configure the port
via SFRs for different tasks.
There are three SFRs used for this function. The Keypad Interrupt Mask Register
(KBMASK) is used to define which input pins connected to Port 0 are enabled to trigger
the interrupt. The Keypad Pattern Register (KBPATN) is used to define a pattern that is
compared to the value of Port 0. The Keypad Interrupt Flag (KBIF) in the Keypad Interrupt
Control Register (KBCON) is set when the condition is matched while the Keypad
Interrupt function is active. An interrupt will be generated if it has been enabled by setting
the EKBI bit in IEN1 register and EA = 1. The PATN_SEL bit in the Keypad Interrupt
Control Register (KBCON) is used to define equal or not-equal for the comparison.
In order to use the Keypad Interrupt as an original KBI function like in the 87LPC76x
series, the user needs to set KBPATN = 0FFH and PATN_SEL = 0 (not equal), then any
key connected to Port0 which is enabled by KBMASK register is will cause the hardware
to set KBIF = 1 and generate an interrupt if it has been enabled. The interrupt may be
used to wake up the CPU from Idle or Power-down modes. This feature is particularly
useful in handheld, battery powered systems that need to carefully manage power
consumption yet also need to be convenient to use.
In order to set the flag and cause an interrupt, the pattern on Port 0 must be held longer
than 6 CCLKs.

14. Watchdog timer (WDT)
The Watchdog timer subsystem protects the system from incorrect code execution by
causing a system reset when it underflows as a result of a failure of software to feed the
timer prior to the timer reaching its terminal count. The Watchdog timer can only be reset
by a power-on reset.

14.1 Watchdog function
The user has the ability using the WDCON and UCFG1 registers to control the run /stop
condition of the WDT, the clock source for the WDT, the prescaler value, and whether the
WDT is enabled to reset the device on underflow. In addition, there is a safety mechanism
which forces the WDT to be enabled by values programmed into UCFG1 either through
IAP or a commercial programmer.
The WDTE bit (UCFG1.7), if set, enables the WDT to reset the device on underflow.
Following reset, the WDT will be running regardless of the state of the WDTE bit.
The WDRUN bit (WDCON.2) can be set to start the WDT and cleared to stop the WDT.
Following reset this bit will be set and the WDT will be running. All writes to WDCON need
to be followed by a feed sequence (see Section 14.2). Additional bits in WDCON allow the
user to select the clock source for the WDT and the prescaler.

When the timer is not enabled to reset the device on underflow, the WDT can be used in
‘timer mode’ and be enabled to produce an interrupt (IEN0.6) if desired.
The Watchdog Safety Enable bit, WDSE (UCFG1.4) along with WDTE, is designed to
force certain operating conditions at power-up. Refer to Table 74 for details.
Figure 35 shows the Watchdog timer in Watchdog mode. It consists of a programmable
13-bit prescaler, and an 8-bit down counter. The down counter is clocked (decremented)
by a tap taken from the prescaler. The clock source for the prescaler is either PCLK or the
Watchdog oscillator selected by the WDCLK bit in the WDCON register. (Note that
switching of the clock sources will not take effect immediately - see Section 14.3).
The Watchdog asserts the Watchdog reset when the Watchdog count underflows and the
Watchdog reset is enabled. When the Watchdog reset is enabled, writing to WDL or
WDCON must be followed by a feed sequence for the new values to take effect.
If a Watchdog reset occurs, the internal reset is active for at least one Watchdog clock
cycle (PCLK or the Watchdog oscillator clock). If CCLK is still running, code execution will
begin immediately after the reset cycle. If the processor was in Power-down mode, the
Watchdog reset will start the oscillator and code execution will resume after the oscillator
is stable.

14.2 Feed sequence
The Watchdog timer control register and the 8-bit down counter (See Figure 34) are not
directly loaded by the user. The user writes to the WDCON and the WDL SFRs. At the end
of a feed sequence, the values in the WDCON and WDL SFRs are loaded to the control
register and the 8-bit down counter. Before the feed sequence, any new values written to
these two SFRs will not take effect. To avoid a Watchdog reset, the Watchdog timer needs
to be fed (via a special sequence of software action called the feed sequence) prior to
reaching an underflow.
To feed the Watchdog, two write instructions must be sequentially executed successfully.
Between the two write instructions, SFR reads are allowed, but writes are not allowed.
The instructions should move A5H to the WFEED1 register and then 5AH to the WFEED2
register. An incorrect feed sequence will cause an immediate Watchdog reset. The
program sequence to feed the Watchdog timer is as follows:
CLR EA ;disable interrupt
MOV WFEED1,#0A5h ;do watchdog feed part 1
MOV WFEED2,#05Ah ;do watchdog feed part 2
SETB EA ;enable interrupt
This sequence assumes that the P89LPC924/925 interrupt system is enabled and there is
a possibility of an interrupt request occurring during the feed sequence. If an interrupt was
allowed to be serviced and the service routine contained any SFR writes, it would trigger a
Watchdog reset. If it is known that no interrupt could occur during the feed sequence, the
instructions to disable and re-enable interrupts may be removed.
In Watchdog mode (WDTE = 1), writing the WDCON register must be IMMEDIATELY
followed by a feed sequence to load the WDL to the 8-bit down counter, and the WDCON
to the shadow register. If writing to the WDCON register is not immediately followed by the
feed sequence, a Watchdog reset will occur.
For example: setting WDRUN = 1:
MOV ACC,WDCON ;get WDCON
SETB ACC.2 ;set WD_RUN = 1
MOV WDL,#0FFh ;New count to be loaded to 8-bit down counter
CLR EA ;disable interrupt
MOV WDCON,ACC ;write back to WDCON (after the watchdog is enabled, a feed
must occur ; immediately)
MOV WFEED1,#0A5h ;do watchdog feed part 1
MOV WFEED2,#05Ah ;do watchdog feed part 2
SETB EA ;enable interrupt
In timer mode (WDTE = 0), WDCON is loaded to the control register every CCLK cycle
(no feed sequence is required to load the control register), but a feed sequence is required
to load from the WDL SFR to the 8-bit down counter before a time-out occurs.
The number of Watchdog clocks before timing out is calculated by the following equations:
tclks = ( 2

( 5 + PRE )

) ( WDL + 1 ) + 1

14.3 Watchdog clock source
The Watchdog timer system has an on-chip 400 KHz oscillator. The Watchdog timer can
be clocked from either the Watchdog oscillator or from PCLK (refer to Figure 33) by
configuring the WDCLK bit in the Watchdog Control Register WDCON. When the
Watchdog feature is enabled, the timer must be fed regularly by software in order to
prevent it from resetting the CPU.
After changing WDCLK (WDCON.0), switching of the clock source will not immediately
take effect. As shown in Figure 35, the selection is loaded after a Watchdog feed
sequence. In addition, due to clock synchronization logic, it can take two old clock cycles
before the old clock source is deselected, and then an additional two new clock cycles
before the new clock source is selected.
Since the prescaler starts counting immediately after a feed, switching clocks can cause
some inaccuracy in the prescaler count. The inaccuracy could be as much as two old
clock source counts plus two new clock cycles.
Note: When switching clocks, it is important that the old clock source is left enabled for two
clock cycles after the feed completes. Otherwise, the Watchdog may become disabled
when the old clock source is disabled. For example, suppose PCLK (WCLK = 0) is the
current clock source. After WCLK is set to logic 1, the program should wait at least two
PCLK cycles (4 CCLKs) after the feed completes before going into Power-down mode.
Otherwise, the Watchdog could become disabled when CCLK turns off. The Watchdog
oscillator will never become selected as the clock source unless CCLK is turned on again
first.

14.4 Watchdog timer in Timer mode
Figure 35 shows the Watchdog timer in Timer Mode. In this mode, any changes to
WDCON are written to the shadow register after one Watchdog clock cycle. A Watchdog
underflow will set the WDTOF bit. If IEN0.6 is set, the Watchdog underflow is enabled to
cause an interrupt. WDTOF is cleared by writing a logic 0 to this bit in software. When an
underflow occurs, the contents of WDL is reloaded into the down counter and the
Watchdog timer immediately begins to count down again.
A feed is necessary to cause WDL to be loaded into the down counter before an underflow
occurs. Incorrect feeds are ignored in this mode.

14.5 Power-down operation
The WDT oscillator will continue to run in power-down, consuming approximately 50 µA,
as long as the WDT oscillator is selected as the clock source for the WDT. Selecting PCLK
as the WDT source will result in the WDT oscillator going into power-down with the rest of
the device (see Section 14.3). Power-down mode will also prevent PCLK from running and
therefore the Watchdog is effectively disabled.

14.6 Periodic wake-up from power-down without an external oscillator
Without using an external oscillator source, the power consumption required in order to
have a periodic wake-up is determined by the power consumption of the internal oscillator
source used to produce the wake-up. The Real-time clock running from the internal RC
oscillator can be used. The power consumption of this oscillator is approximately 300 µA.
Instead, if the WDT is used to generate interrupts the current is reduced to approximately
50 µA. Whenever the WDT underflows, the device will wake up.

15. Additional features

as if an external reset or Watchdog reset had occurred. If a value is written to AUXR1 that
contains a logic 1 at bit position 3, all SFRs will be initialized and execution will resume at
program address 0000. Care should be taken when writing to AUXR1 to avoid accidental
software resets.

15.2 Dual Data Pointers
The dual Data Pointers (DPTR) adds to the ways in which the processor can specify the
address used with certain instructions. The DPS bit in the AUXR1 register selects one of
the two Data Pointers. The DPTR that is not currently selected is not accessible to
software unless the DPS bit is toggled.
Specific instructions affected by the Data Pointer selection are:
INC DPTR — Increments the Data Pointer by 1.
JMP @A+DPTR — Jump indirect relative to DPTR value.
MOV DPTR, #data16 — Load the Data Pointer with a 16-bit constant.
MOVC A, @A+DPTR — Move code byte relative to DPTR to the accumulator.
MOVX A, @DPTR — Move data byte the accumulator to data memory relative to DPTR.
MOVX@DPTR, A — Move data byte from data memory relative to DPTR to the
accumulator.
Also, any instruction that reads or manipulates the DPH and DPL registers (the upper and
lower bytes of the current DPTR) will be affected by the setting of DPS. The MOVX
instructions have limited application for the P89LPC924/925 since the part does not have
an external data bus. However, they may be used to access Flash configuration
information (see Flash Configuration section) or auxiliary data (XDATA) memory.
Bit 2 of AUXR1 is permanently wired as a logic 0. This is so that the DPS bit may be
toggled (thereby switching Data Pointers) simply by incrementing the AUXR1 register,
without the possibility of inadvertently altering other bits in the register.

16. Flash memory
The P89LPC924/925 Flash memory provides in-circuit electrical erasure and
programming. The Flash can be read and written as bytes. The Sector and Page Erase
functions can erase any Flash sector (1 kB) or page (64 bytes). The Chip Erase operation
will erase the entire program memory. Five Flash programming methods are available.
On-chip erase and write timing generation contribute to a user-friendly programming
interface. The P89LPC924/925 Flash reliably stores memory contents even after 100,000
erase and program cycles. The cell is designed to optimize the erase and programming
mechanisms. The P89LPC924/925 uses VDD as the supply voltage to perform the
Program/Erase algorithms.

16.1 Features
• Parallel programming with industry-standard commercial programmers.
• In-Circuit serial Programming (ICP) with industry-standard commercial programmers.
• IAP-Lite allows individual and multiple bytes of code memory to be used for data
storage and programmed under control of the end application.

16.2 Flash programming and erase
The P89LPC924/925 program memory consists 1 kB sectors. Each sector can be further
divided into 64-byte pages. In addition to sector erase and page erase, a 64-byte page
register is included which allows from 1 to 64 bytes of a given page to be programmed at
the same time, substantially reducing overall programming time. Five methods of
programming this device are available.

• Parallel programming with industry-standard commercial programmers.
• In-Circuit serial Programming (ICP) with industry-standard commercial programmers.
• IAP-Lite allows individual and multiple bytes of code memory to be used for data
storage and programmed under control of the end application.

• Internal fixed boot ROM, containing low-level In-Application Programming (IAP)
routines that can be called from the end application (in addition to IAP-Lite).

• A factory-provided default serial loader, located in upper end of user program
memory, providing In-System Programming (ISP) via the serial port.

16.3 Using Flash as data storage: IAP-Lite
The Flash code memory array of this device supports IAP-Lite in addition to standard IAP
functions. Any byte in a non-secured sector of the code memory array may be read using
the MOVC instruction and thus is suitable for use as non-volatile data storage. IAP-Lite
provides an erase-program function that makes it easy for one or more bytes within a
page to be erased and programmed in a single operation without the need to erase or
program any other bytes in the page. IAP-Lite is performed in the application under the
control of the microcontroller’s firmware using four SFRs and an internal 64-byte ‘page
register’ to facilitate erasing and programing within unsecured sectors. These SFRs are:

• FMCON (Flash Control Register). When read, this is the status register. When written,
this is a command register. Note that the status bits are cleared to logic 0s when the
command is written.

• FMDATA (Flash Data Register). Accepts data to be loaded into the page register.
• FMADRL, FMADRH (Flash memory address LOW, Flash memory address HIGH).
Used to specify the byte address within the page register or specify the page within
user code memory.
The page register consists of 64 bytes and an update flag for each byte. When a LOAD
command is issued to FMCON the page register contents and all of the update flags will
be cleared. When FMDATA is written, the value written to FMDATA will be stored in the
page register at the location specified by the lower 6 bits of FMADRL. In addition, the

update flag for that location will be set. FMADRL will auto-increment to the next location.
Auto-increment after writing to the last byte in the page register will ‘wrap -around’ to the
first byte in the page register, but will not affect FMADRL[7:6]. Bytes loaded into the page
register do not have to be continuous. Any byte location can be loaded into the page
register by changing the contents of FMADRL prior to writing to FMDATA. However, each
location in the page register can only be written once following each LOAD command.
Attempts to write to a page register location more than once should be avoided.
FMADRH and FMADRL[7:6] are used to select a page of code memory for the
erase-program function. When the erase-program command is written to FMCON, the
locations within the code memory page that correspond to updated locations in the page
register, will have their contents erased and programmed with the contents of their
corresponding locations in the page register. Only the bytes that were loaded into the
page register will be erased and programmed in the user code array. Other bytes within
the user code memory will not be affected.
Writing the erase-program command (68H) to FMCON will start the erase-program
process and place the CPU in a program-idle state. The CPU will remain in this idle state
until the erase-program cycle is either completed or terminated by an interrupt. When the
program-idle state is exited FMCON will contain status information for the cycle.
If an interrupt occurs during an erase/programming cycle, the erase/programming cycle
will be aborted and the OI flag (Operation Interrupted) in FMCON will be set. If the
application permits interrupts during erasing-programming the user code should check the
OI flag (FMCON.0) after each erase-programming operation to see if the operation was
aborted. If the operation was aborted, the user’s code will need to repeat the process
starting with loading the page register.
The erase-program cycle takes 4 ms (2 ms for erase, 2 ms for programming) to complete,
regardless of the number of bytes that were loaded into the page register.
Erasing-programming of a single byte (or multiple bytes) in code memory is accomplished
using the following steps:

• Write the LOAD command (00H) to FMCON. The LOAD command will clear all
locations in the page register and their corresponding update flags.

• Write the address within the page register to FMADRL. Since the loading the page
register uses FMADRL[5:0], and since the erase-program command uses FMADRH
and FMADRL[7:6], the user can write the byte location within the page register
(FMADRL[5:0]) and the code memory page address (FMADRH and FMADRL[7:6]) at
this time.

• Write the data to be programmed to FMDATA. This will increment FMADRL pointing to
the next byte in the page register.

• Write the address of the next byte to be programmed to FMADRL, if desired. (Not
needed for contiguous bytes since FMADRL is auto-incremented). All bytes to be
programmed must be within the same page.

• Write the data for the next byte to be programmed to FMDATA.
• Repeat writing of FMADRL and/or FMDATA until all desired bytes have been loaded
into the page register.

• Write the page address in user code memory to FMADRH and FMADRL[7:6], if not
previously included when writing the page register address to FMADRL[5:0].

16.4 In-circuit programming (ICP)
In-Circuit Programming is a method intended to allow commercial programmers to
program and erase these devices without removing the microcontroller from the system.
The In-Circuit Programming facility consists of a series of internal hardware resources to
facilitate remote programming of the P89LPC924/925 through a two-wire serial interface.
Philips has made in-circuit programming in an embedded application possible with a
minimum of additional expense in components and circuit board area. The ICP function
uses five pins (VDD, VSS, P0.5, P0.4, and RST). Only a small connector needs to be
available to interface your application to an external programmer in order to use this
feature.

16.5 ISP and IAP capabilities of the P89LPC924/925
An In-Application Programming (IAP) interface is provided to allow the end user’s
application to erase and reprogram the user code memory. In addition, erasing and
reprogramming of user-programmable bytes including UCFG1, the Boot Status Bit, and
the Boot Vector is supported. As shipped from the factory, the upper 512 bytes of user
code space contains a serial In-System Programming (ISP) loader allowing for the device
to be programmed in circuit through the serial port. This ISP boot loader will, in turn, call
low-level routines through the same common entry point that can be used by the end-user
application.

16.6 Boot ROM
When the microcontroller contains a a 256 byte Boot ROM that is separate from the user’s
Flash program memory. This Boot ROM contains routines which handle all of the low level
details needed to erase and program the user Flash memory. A user program simply calls
a common entry point in the Boot ROM with appropriate parameters to accomplish the
desired operation. Boot ROM operations include operations such as erase sector, erase
page, program page, CRC, program security bit, etc. The Boot ROM occupies the
program memory space at the top of the address space from FF00 to FFFF hex, thereby
not conflicting with the user program memory space. This function is in addition to the
IAP-Lite feature.

16.7 Power on reset code execution
The P89LPC924/925 contains two special Flash elements: the BOOT VECTOR and the
Boot Status Bit. Following reset, the P89LPC924/925 examines the contents of the Boot
Status Bit. If the Boot Status Bit is set to zero, power-up execution starts at location
0000H, which is the normal start address of the user’s application code. When the Boot
Status Bit is set to a va one, the contents of the Boot Vector is used as the HIGH byte of
the execution address and the LOW byte is set to 00H.
The factory default settings for these devices are show in Table 82, below. The factory
pre-programmed boot loader can be erased by the user. Users who wish to use this
loader should take cautions to avoid erasing the last 1 kB sector on the device.

Instead, the page erase function can be used to erase the eight 64-byte pages

16.8 Hardware activation of Boot Loader
The boot loader can also be executed by forcing the device into ISP mode during a
power-on sequence (see Figure 36). This is accomplished by powering up the device with
the reset pin initially held LOW and holding the pin LOW for a fixed time after VDD rises to
its normal operating value. This is followed by three, and only three, properly timed
LOW-going pulses. Fewer or more than three pulses will result in the device not entering
ISP mode. Timing specifications may be found in the data sheet for this device.
This has the same effect as having a non-zero status bit. This allows an application to be
built that will normally execute the user code but can be manually forced into ISP
operation. If the factory default setting for the Boot Vector is changed, it will no longer point
to the factory pre-programmed ISP boot loader code. If this happens, the only way it is
possible to change the contents of the Boot Vector is through the parallel or ICP
programming method, provided that the end user application does not contain a
customized loader that provides for erasing and reprogramming of the Boot Vector and
Boot Status Bit. After programming the Flash, the status byte should be programmed to
zero in order to allow execution of the user’s application code beginning at address
0000H.

In-System Programming is performed without removing the microcontroller from the
system. The In-System Programming facility consists of a series of internal hardware
resources coupled with internal firmware to facilitate remote programming of the
P89LPC924/925 through the serial port. This firmware is provided by Philips and
embedded within each P89LPC924/925 device. The Philips In-System Programming
facility has made in-circuit programming in an embedded application possible with a
minimum of additional expense in components and circuit board area. The ISP function
uses five pins (VDD, VSS, TXD, RXD, and RST). Only a small connector needs to be
available to interface your application to an external circuit in order to use this feature.

16.10 Using the In-system programming (ISP)
The ISP feature allows for a wide range of baud rates to be used in your application,
independent of the oscillator frequency. It is also adaptable to a wide range of oscillator
frequencies. This is accomplished by measuring the bit-time of a single bit in a received
character. This information is then used to program the baud rate in terms of timer counts
based on the oscillator frequency. The ISP feature requires that an initial character (an
uppercase U) be sent to the P89LPC924/925 to establish the baud rate. The ISP firmware
provides auto-echo of received characters. Once baud rate initialization has been
performed, the ISP firmware will only accept Intel Hex-type records. Intel Hex records
consist of ASCII characters used to represent hexadecimal values and are summarized
below:
:NNAAAARRDD..DDCC
In the Intel Hex record, the ‘NN’ represents the number of data bytes in the record. The
P89LPC924/925 will accept up to 64 (40H) data bytes. The ‘AAAA’ string represents the
address of the first byte in the record. If there are zero bytes in the record, this field is often
set to 0000. The ‘RR’ string indicates the record type. A record type of ‘00’ is a data
record. A record type of ‘01’ indicates the end-of-file mark. In this application, additional
record types will be added to indicate either commands or data for the ISP facility. The
maximum number of data bytes in a record is limited to 64 (decimal). ISP commands are
summarized in Table 83. As a record is received by the P89LPC924/925, the information
in the record is stored internally and a checksum calculation is performed. The operation
indicated by the record type is not performed until the entire record has been received.
Should an error occur in the checksum, the P89LPC924/925 will send an ‘X’ out the serial
port indicating a checksum error. If the checksum calculation is found to match the
checksum in the record, then the command will be executed. In most cases, successful
reception of the record will be indicated by transmitting a ‘.’ character out the serial port.

program to permit selective erasing and programming of Flash sectors, pages, security
bits, configuration bytes, and device id. All calls are made through a common interface,
PGM_MTP. The programming functions are selected by setting up the microcontroller’s
registers before making a call to PGM_MTP at FF03H. The IAP calls are shown in

16.12 IAP authorization key
IAP functions which write or erase code memory require an authorization key be set by
the calling routine prior to performing the IAP function call. This authorization key is set by
writing 96H to RAM location FFH. For example:
MOV R0,#0FFH
MOV @R0,#96H
CALL PGM_MTP
After the function call is processed by the IAP routine, the authorization key will be
cleared. Thus it is necessary for the authorization key to be set prior to EACH call to
PGM_MTP that requires a key. If an IAP routine that requires an authorization key is
called without a valid authorization key present, the MCU will perform a reset.

16.13 Flash write enable
This device has hardware write enable protection. This protection applies to both ISP and
IAP modes and applies to both the user code memory space and the user configuration
bytes (UCFG1, BOOTVEC, and BOOTSTAT). This protection does not apply to ICP or
parallel programmer modes. If the Activate Write Enable (AWE) bit in BOOTSTAT.7 is a
logic 0, an internal Write Enable (WE) flag is forced set and writes to the flash memory
and configuration bytes are enabled. If the Active Write Enable (AWE) bit is a logic 1 then
the state of the internal WE flag can be controlled by the user.
The WE flag is SET by writing the Set Write Enable (08H) command to FMCON followed
by a key value (96H) to FMDATA:
MOV FMCON,#08H
MOV FMDATA,#96H
The WE flag is CLEARED by writing the Clear Write Enable (0BH) command to FMCON
followed by a key value (96H) to FMDATA, or by a reset:
MOV FMCON,#0BH
MOV FMDATA,#96H
The ISP function in this device sets the WE flag prior to calling the IAP routines. The IAP
function in this device executes a Clear Write Enable command following any write
operation. If the Write Enable function is active, user code which calls IAP routines will
need to set the Write Enable flag prior to each IAP write function call.

16.14 Configuration byte protection
In addition to the hardware write enable protection, described above, the ‘configuration
bytes’ may be separately write protected. These configuration bytes include UCFG1,
BOOTVEC, and BOOTSTAT. This protection applies to both ISP and IAP modes and does
not apply to ICP or parallel programmer modes.

If the Configuration Write Protect Writ (CWP) bit in BOOTSTAT.6 is a logic 1 writes to the
configuration bytes are disabled. If the Configuration Write Protect Writ (CWP) bit in
BOOTSTAT.6 is a logic 0 writes to the configuration bytes are enabled. The CWP bit is set
by programming the BOOTSTAT register. This bit is cleared by using the Clear
Configuration Protection function in IAP or ISP.
The Clear Configuration Protection command can be disabled in ISP or IAP mode by
programming to a logic 1 the Disable Clear Configuration Protection (DCCP) bit in
BOOTSTAT.7. When DCCP is set, the CCP command may still be used in ICP or parallel
programming modes. This bit is cleared by writing the Clear Configuration Protection
command in either ICP or parallel programming modes.

16.15 IAP error status
It is not possible to use the Flash memory as the source of program instructions while
programming or erasing this same Flash memory. During an IAP erase, program, or CRC
the CPU enters a program-idle state. The CPU will remain in this program-idle state until
the erase, program, or CRC cycle is completed. These cycles are self timed. When the
cycle is completed, code execution resumes. If an interrupt occurs during an erase,
programming or CRC cycle, the erase, programming, or CRC cycle will be aborted so that
the Flash memory can be used as the source of instructions to service the interrupt. An
IAP error condition will be flagged by setting the carry flag and status information
returned. The status information returned is shown in Table 84. If the application permits
interrupts during erasing, programming, or CRC cycles, the user code should check the
carry flag after each erase, programming, or CRC operation to see if an error occurred. If
the operation was aborted, the user’s code will need to repeat the operation.
Table 84:

IAP error status

Bit

Flag Description

0

OI

Operation Interrupted. Indicates that an operation was aborted due to an interrupt
occurring during a program or erase cycle.

1

SV

Security Violation. Set if program or erase operation fails due to security settings.
Cycle is aborted. Memory contents are unchanged. CRC output is invalid.

2

HVE High Voltage Error. Set if error detected in high voltage generation circuits. Cycle is
aborted. Memory contents may be corrupted.

3

VE

Verify error. Set during IAP programming of user code if the contents of the
programmed address does not agree with the intended programmed value. IAP uses
the MOVC instruction to perform this verify. Attempts to program user code that is
MOVC protected can be programmed but will generate this error after the
programming cycle has been completed.
