Cautions on CMOS Devices
1

Countermeasures against static electricity for all MOSs
Caution

When handling MOS devices, take care so that they are not electrostatically charged.
Strong static electricity may cause dielectric breakdown in gates. When transporting or
storing MOS devices, use conductive trays, magazine cases, shock absorbers, or metal
cases that NEC uses for packaging and shipping. Be sure to ground MOS devices during
assembling. Do not allow MOS devices to stand on plastic plates or do not touch pins.
Also handle boards on which MOS devices are mounted in the same way.

2

CMOS-specific handling of unused input pins
Caution

Hold CMOS devices at a fixed input level.
Unlike bipolar or NMOS devices, if a CMOS device is operated with no input, an
intermediate-level input may be caused by noise. This allows current to flow in the CMOS
device, resulting in a malfunction. Use a pull-up or pull-down resistor to hold a fixed input
level. Since unused pins may function as output pins at unexpected times, each unused
pin should be separately connected to the VDD or GND pin through a resistor.
If handling of unused pins is documented, follow the instructions in the document.

3

Statuses of all MOS devices at initialization
Caution

The initial status of a MOS device is unpredictable when power is turned on.
Since characteristics of a MOS device are determined by the amount of ions implanted
in molecules, the initial status cannot be determined in the manufacture process. NEC
has no responsibility for the output statuses of pins, input and output settings, and the
contents of registers at power on. However, NEC assures operation after reset and items
for mode setting if they are defined.
When you turn on a device having a reset function, be sure to reset the device first.

2.2 PIN FUNCTIONS
2.2.1 Normal Operating mode
(1) P00 to P07 (Port 0): Tristate outputs
Port 0, an eight-bit output port with output latches, can directly drive transistors. Its eight bits can be
simultaneously set to either output mode or high impedance mode by specifying the port-0 mode register
(PM0) accordingly.
Port 0 can output the contents of the buffer registers (P0L, P0H) in real-time at any interval, in units of eight
or four bits (P00 to P03 and P04 to P07). The real-time output port control register (RTPC) determines whether
port 0 is used as a normal output port or real-time output port.
When the RESET signal is input, the output of port 0 becomes high impedance, resulting in the contents of
the output latches becoming undefined.
(2) P20 to P27 (port 2): Inputs
Port 2 is an eight-bit input port. P22 to P27 are provided with software-programmable pull-up resistors. P20
to P27 also act as input pins for control signals such as external interrupts (see Table 2-1). To prevent
malfunctions caused by noise, port 2 provides Schmitt-triggered input circuits.

µPD78214 Sub-Series

(a) When functioning as a port
Signals applied to these pins can be read and these pins can be tested, regardless of whether these pins
are acting as secondary function pins.
(b) When functioning as control-signal input pins
(i) NMI (non-maskable interrupt)
Apply an external non-maskable interrupt request signal to this pin. The external interrupt mode
register (IMTM0) specifies whether an interrupt is detected at its rising or falling edge.
(ii) INTP0 to INTP5 (interrupts from peripherals)
Apply external interrupt request signals to these pins. When an interrupt request signal is detected
at the edge specified by the external interrupt mode registers (INTM0 and INTM1), at any of the INTP0
to INTP5 pins, an interrupt is generated. (For details, see Chapter 11.)
The INTP0 to INTP3 and INTP5 pins can also be used as external trigger input pins for a range of
functions, as described below.
• INTP0: Capture trigger input for eight-bit timer/counter unit 1, and trigger input for real-time output
port
• INTP1: Capture trigger input for eight-bit timer/counter unit 2
• INTP2: External count clock input for eight-bit timer/counter unit 2
• INTP3: Capture trigger input for 16-bit timer/counter
• INTP5: External trigger input for A/D converter
(iii) CI (clock input)
External clock input for eight-bit timer/counter unit 2
(iv) ASCK (asynchronous serial clock)
External baud-rate clock input.
(v) SI (serial input)
Serial data input (when three-wire serial input mode is used)
(3) P30-P37 (port 3): Tristate inputs/outputs
Port 3, an eight-bit input and output port with output latches, is provided with software-programmable pullup resistors. Each pin can be used as an input or output pin by specifying the port-3 mode register (PM3).
It also acts as a control signal pin.
It can be used in either of the following two operating modes, as listed in Table 2-2, by specifying the port3 mode control register (PMC3). The signals applied to these pins can be read and these pins can be tested
regardless of whether these pins are acting as secondary function pins.
When the RESET signal is input, the output of port 3 becomes high impedance, such that it functions as an
input port, resulting in the contents of the output latches becoming undefined.

(4) P40-P47 (port 4): Tristate inputs/outputs
Port 4, an eight-bit I/O port with output latches, is provided with software-programmable pull-up resistors and
can directly drive LEDs. Its pins can be collectively used as input or output pins by specifying the memory
expansion mode register (MM).
It acts as a time-multiplexed address/data bus (AD0 to AD7) when external memory or I/O devices are
expanded.
In the case of the µPD78213, it acts as a time-multiplexed address/data bus (AD0 to AD7).
When the RESET signal is input, the output of port 4 becomes high impedance, such that it functions as an
input port, resulting in the contents of the output latches becoming undefined.
(5) P50 to P57 (port 5): Tristate inputs/outputs
Port 5, an eight-bit I/O port with output latches, is provided with software-programmable pull-up resistors and
can directly drive LEDs. Its pins can be used independently as input or output pins by specifying the port-5
mode register(PM5) accordingly.
It acts as an address bus (A8 to A15) when external memory or I/O devices are expanded.
In the case of the µPD78213, it functions as an address bus (A8 to A15).
When the RESET signal is input, the output of port 5 becomes high impedance, such that it functions as an
input port, resulting in the contents of the output latches becoming undefined.

µPD78214 Sub-Series

(6) P60 to P67 (port 6): Output (P60 to P63) and tristate inputs/outputs (P64 to P67)
Port 6 is an eight-bit I/O port with output latches. Pins P64 to P67 are provided with software-programmable
pull-up resistors.
The pins of port 6 also function as control signal input pins, as listed in Table 2-3. To use these pins as control
signal input pins, set up is required.
In the case of the µPD78213, P64 and P65 act as an RD output and WR output, respectively.
When the RESET signal is applied, P60 to P63 go low and P64 to P67 function as an input port (the outputs
become high impedance). The contents of the output latches become undefined at the four high-order bits
and 0H at the four low-order bits.

Remark For details, see Chapter 13.

(a) Port mode
P60 to P63 are an output port. Each of pins P64 to P67 can be used for input or output by specifying the
port-6 mode register (PM6) accordingly.
(b) Control signal I/O mode
(i) A16 to A19 (address bus)
High-order address bus output when the external memory area is expanded (10000H to FFFFFH). The
memory expansion register (MM) controls these pins.
(ii) RD (read strobe)
Strobe signal output used for reading the external memory. In the case of the µPD78213, the MM
register controls this pin.
(iii) WR (write strobe)
Strobe signal output used for writing to the external memory. In the case of the µPD78213, the MM
register controls this pin.
(iv) WAIT (wait)
Wait signal input. The programmable wait control (PW) register or MM register controls this pin.
(v) REFRQ (refresh request)
Used for outputting refresh pulses to the external pseudo-static memory. The refresh mode register
(RFM) controls this pin.
(vi) AN6 and AN7 (analog input)
Analog inputs to the A/D converter.
(7) P70 to P75 (port 7): Input
Port 7 is a six-bit input port. Its pins also function as analog input pins (AN0 to AN5) for the A/D converter.

(8) ASTB (address strobe): Output
Timing signal output used for latching addresses externally to enable access to external memory.
(9) EA (external access): Input
Control signal input used for switching the program memory from the internal ROM to the external memory.
When this signal is high, the internal ROM is accessed. When low, the external memory is accessed in ROMless mode. In the case of the µPD78212, µPD78214, and µPD78P214, always apply a high-level signal to this
pin. In the case of the µPD78213, apply a low-level signal.

2.2.2 PROM Programming Mode (for the µPD78P214)
(1) P20/NMI: Input
Input used for setting the µPD78P214 to PROM programming mode. When a voltage of 12.5 V is applied to
this pin and the RESET pin goes low, the µPD78P214 enters PROM programming mode.
(2) RESET: Input
Input used for setting the µPD78P214 to PROM programming mode. When a low-level signal is applied to this
pin and a voltage of 12.5 V is applied to the P20/NMI pin, the µPD78P214 enters PROM programming mode.
(3) A0 to A14 (address bus): Inputs

2.4 NOTES
(1) While the RESET signal is being applied, pins P60 to P63 are high impedance. When the RESET signal is
released, the output of these pins is low level. Design the peripheral circuit so that it operates satisfactorily
when pins P60 to P63 initially output the low level.
(2) When an I/O pin is used as both an input and output pin, connect the pin to the VDD pin through a resistor of
less than 100 kilohms. (Especially, when the RESET pin goes to a voltage higher than the low level upon power
on, or when an I/O pin is switched with software.)

3.1 MEMORY SPACE
The µPD78214 can access a memory space of up to 1M byte. Figs. 3-1 to 3-4 show the corresponding memory
maps. The mapping of program memory depends on the status of the EA pin. The EA pin of the µPD78213 must
be tied low.
(1) µPD78212
Program memory is mapped to the internal ROM (8K bytes: 00000H to 01FFFH) and external memory (56704
bytes: 02000H to 0FD7FH). External memory is accessed in external memory expansion mode. The area
mapped as external memory can also be used as data memory.
Data memory is mapped to internal RAM (384 bytes: 0FD80H to 0FEFFH). In 1M-byte expansion mode,
external memory (960K bytes: 10000H to FFFFFH) is mapped as expanded data memory.
(2) µPD78213
Program memory is mapped to external memory (64768 bytes: 00000H to 0FCFFH). This area can also be used
as data memory.
Data memory is mapped to internal RAM (512 bytes: 0FD00H to 0FEFFH). In 1M-byte expansion mode,
external memory (960K bytes: 10000H to FFFFFH) is mapped as expanded data memory.
(3) µPD78214, µPD78P214
Program memory is mapped to internal ROM (16K bytes: 00000H to 03FFFH) and external memory (48384
bytes: 04000H to 0FCFFH). External memory is accessed in external memory expansion mode. The area
mapped as external memory can also be used as data memory.
Data memory is mapped to internal RAM (512 bytes: 0FD00H to 0FEFFH). In 1M-byte expansion mode,

3.1.1 Internal Program Memory Area
In the area from 00000H to 03FFFH (00000H to 01FFFH for the µPD78212), a 16K × 8 bit ROM (8K × 8 bit ROM for
the µPD78212) is incorporated. Programs and table data are stored in this area. Usually, the program counter (PC)
is used for addressing.
If the µPD78213 is used or if the EA pin is driven low, this area becomes external memory (ROM-less operation).
(1) Vector table area
The 64-byte area from 00000H to 0003FH is reserved as a vector table area. Stored in the vector table area
is the program start address to which a program is branched if RESET is input or if an interrupt request occurs.
The low-order eight bits of the 16-bit address are stored at even-numbered addresses, and the high-order
eight bits at odd-numbered addresses.

3.1.2 Internal RAM Area
A 512-byte (384-byte for the µPD78212) general-purpose static RAM is incorporated into the area from 0FD00H to
0FEFFH.
This area consists of the following two RAMs:
Peripheral RAM (PRAM)
: 0FD00H to 0FDFFH (0FD80H to 0FDFFH for the µPD78212)
° Internal
RAM (IRAM): 0FE00H to 0FEFFH
°The internaldual-port
dual-port RAM (IRAM) can be accessed at high speed.

3

Short direct addressing mode for high-speed access can be used for the area from 0FE20H to 0FEFFH. (Refer to
Chapter 6, Instruction, “78K/II Series User’s Manual.”)
General-purpose registers of four banks are mapped into the 32-byte area from 0FEE0H to 0FEFFH. Macro service
control words are mapped into the 30-byte area from 0FEC2H to 0FEDFH.
Caution Program fetch from the internal RAM area is prohibited.
Remark It is convenient to store data, work areas, and status flags that are frequently accessed in the area from 0FE20H to 0FEC1H. The area
from 0FE00H to 0FE1FH can be accessed at high speed. If this area is used as a stack area, macro service channel, or a data transfer
area for a macro service, system throughput can be improved. (For this area, short direct addressing cannot be used. This area is
addressed in the same way as other memory spaces. The area, however, can be accessed faster than other memory spaces. In terms
of the efficiency of the entire system, it is advantageous to use the area as a stack area, macro service channel, or a data transfer area
for a macro service channel.)

3.1.3 Special Function Register (SFR) Area
Special function registers (SFR), which are on-chip hardware peripherals, are mapped into the area from 0FF00H
to 0FFFFH (see Section 3.2.5).
The area from 0FFD0H to 0FFDFH is mapped as an external SFR area. This area allows the µPD78214 in external
memory expansion mode (selected by memory expansion mode register MM) and µPD78213 (ROM-less) to access
external peripheral I/O.
Caution Never access an address to which no SFR is mapped in this area. If this is attempted, the µPD78214 may enter a deadlock. To restore
the device from the deadlock, a reset signal must be input.

3.1.4 External SFR Area
In the SFR area, the 16-byte area from 0FFD0H to 0FFDFH is mapped as an external SFR area. This area allows the
µPD78214 in external memory expansion mode (selected by memory expansion mode register MM) and the
µPD78213 (ROM-less) to access external peripheral I/O through the address bus or address/data bus.
The external SFR area can be accessed by the SFR addressing method. The area features the following: Peripheral
I/O can be easily manipulated and the object size can be compressed. This area can also be specified as an SFR
of macro service type B.
When the external SFR area is accessed, the bus operates as in ordinary memory access (see Chapter 13).

3.1.5 External Memory Space
The area from 04000H to 0FCFFH (02000H to 0FD7FH for the µPD78212) is an external memory space that can be
accessed by setting a memory expansion mode register (MM). In this area, programs and table data can be stored
and peripheral I/O devices can be mapped.
For the µPD78213, the area from 00000H to 0FCFFH can be accessed at any time.

3.1.6 External Extension Data Memory Space
The area from 10000H to FFFFFH can be accessed if 1M-byte expansion mode is selected by the memory expansion
mode register (MM). In this mode, pins P60 to P63 of port 6 function as the expansion address bus of four bits (A16
to A19). The data memory space is manipulated as 16 banks of 64K bytes. The low-order four bits of registers P6
and PM6 function as a bank register for selecting a bank. This memory space is useful if the kanji character
generator or a large amount of data is used.

43

µPD78214 Sub-Series

To access the space, specify the bank to be used (high-order four bits of address, A16 to A19) in the bank register
(P60 to P63 of register P6, or PM60 to PM63 of register PM6). Then, execute an instruction which allows extended
addressing. The high-order four bits of address output from pins P60 to P63 are valid only while an instruction
that allows extended addressing is being executed.
Because two bank registers are provided, two data banks can always be used. To select either of the two bank
registers, specify the operand of the instruction with or without &. If & is added, register P6 is selected as the bank
register. If & is omitted, register PM6 is selected as the bank register.
If one of the two banks is specified as the main data bank in a RAM area, and if the other bank is specified as the
sub-data bank in a data ROM area, for example, the data read from the data ROM (for example, character data for
the printer) can easily be enlarged or reduced in size and stored in the RAM.

Remarks 1. The MOV [DE+], A and MOV A, &[HL+] instructions are both held in bank 0.
2. The instruction that uses register PM6 as the bank register requires a shorter instruction code and shorter execution time than
that which uses register P6. The instruction that manipulates register P6 requires a shorter instruction code and shorter execution
time than that which manipulates register PM6. It is, therefore, efficient to use PM6 as the main bank register that specifies the
bank accessed most frequently and P6 as the sub-bank register that frequently specifies different banks.

3.2 REGISTERS
3.2.1 Program Counter (PC)
This 16-bit binary counter holds the address of the program to be executed next (see Fig. 3-6).
Usually, the address is automatically incremented according to the number of bytes of the instruction to be
fetched. If an instruction causing a branch is executed, the contents of the register or immediate data are set.
When RESET is input, the contents at address 00000H of the internal ROM (external memory for the µPD78213)
are specified in the low-order eight bits of the PC and the contents at address 00001H are specified in the high-order
eight bits of the PC.

3.2.2 Program Status Word (PSW)
This 8-bit register consists of flags that are set or reset according to the execution results of an instruction (see Fig.
3-7).
The contents can be read and written in units of eight bits. Each flag can be manipulated by a bit manipulation
instruction. The PSW is saved to a stack when a vectored interrupt request is acknowledged or when the BRK or
PUSH PSW instruction is executed. The PSW is restored when an RETI, RETB, or POP PSW instruction is executed.
When RESET is input, the PSW is set to 02H. (In this state, no interrupt requests can be acknowledged.)

(1) Carry flag (CY)
This flag indicates whether an overflow or underflow occurs when an add/subtract instruction is executed.
If a shift/rotate instruction is executed, the flag holds a shift-out value. If a bit arithmetic/logical instruction
is executed, the flag functions as a bit accumulator.
(2) Interrupt priority status flag (ISP)
This flag manages the priority of maskable vectored interrupts that can currently be acknowledged. If a
maskable interrupt is acknowledged, the contents of the priority designation flag of the acknowledged
interrupt are transferred to the ISP flag. If a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is acknowledged, this flag is set to
0.
If the ISP flag is set to 0, vectored interrupts assigned a lower priority by the priority designation flag register
(PR0) cannot be acknowledged. If the ISP flag is set to 1, interrupts can be acknowledged, independent of the
priority. The actual acknowledgment of interrupts is controlled according to the status of the IE flag.
The contents are updated each time a maskable vectored interrupt is acknowledged.
For details, see Chapter 12.

(3) Register bank selection flags (RBS0, RBS1)
These two flags are used to select one of four register banks (see Table 3-2).

(4) Auxiliary carry flag (AC)
If an operation generates a carry from bit 3 or a borrow into bit 3, this flag is set (1). Otherwise, the flag is reset
(0).
The flag is used when a BCD conversion instruction is executed.
(5) Zero flag (Z)
If an operation results in zero, this flag is set (1). Otherwise, the flag is reset (0).
(6) Interrupt request enable flag (IE)
This flag controls the CPU’s acknowledgment of interrupt requests.
If the flag is set to 0, interrupts are inhibited. Only nonmaskable interrupts and unmasked macro services can
be acknowledged. All other interrupts are prohibited.
If the flag is set to 1, interrupts are permitted. The ISP flag, interrupt mask flag corresponding to each interrupt
request, and priority designation flag control the acknowledgment of an interrupt request.
When the EI instruction is executed, the IE flag is set (1). When the DI instruction is executed or when an
interrupt is acknowledged, the flag is reset (0).

3.2.3 Stack Pointer (SP)
This 16-bit register holds the first address of a stack area (LIFO: 00000H to 0FFFFH) (see Fig. 3-8). The stack pointer
is used to address a stack area when a subroutine is executed or when an interrupt is handled.
The contents of the SP are decremented before data is written into the stack area and incremented after data is
read from the stack area (see Figs. 3-9 and 3-10).
A special instruction can access the SP.
The contents of the SP become undefined when RESET is input. Immediately after a reset is released (before a
subroutine is called or before an interrupt is acknowledged), run an initialization program to initialize the SP.
Example Initializing the SP
MOVW SP, #0FEE0H; SP ← 0FEE0H (if used from FEDFH)

Cautions 1. In stack addressing, the entire 64K bytes can be accessed. A stack area cannot be mapped in the SFR area or internal ROM area.
2. The SP becomes undefined when RESET is input. Meanwhile, nonmaskable interrupts can be acknowledged immediately after
a reset is released. If a nonmaskable interrupt request occurs, while the SP is undefined, immediately after a reset is released,
an unpredictable operation may be carried out. To minimize this danger, initialize the SP immediately after a reset is released.
For details, see Section 12.3.2.

3.2.4 General-Purpose Registers
(1) Configuration
General-purpose registers are mapped to special addresses (0FEE0H to 0FEFFH) in data memory. The
registers are grouped into four banks, each of which consists of eight 8-bit registers (X, A, C, B, E, D, L, H) (see
Fig. 3-11).

Register bank 3
(RBS1, 0 = 11)

To specify the register bank to be used to execute an instruction, use the CPU control instruction (SEL RBn).
When RESET is input, register bank 0 is specified.
The current register bank can be checked by reading the register bank selection flags (RBS0, RBS1) in the PSW.
The area from 0FEE0H to 0FEFFH can be addressed and accessed as an ordinary data memory area,
irrespective of whether the area is used for general-purpose registers.
Remark To restore the current register bank after it is changed to a different register bank, execute the PUSH PSW instruction to save the PSW
to a stack, then execute the SEL RBn instruction. The POP PSW instruction can restore the register bank if the stack position is not
changed. If an interrupt handling program changes the register bank, the PSW is automatically saved to a stack when an interrupt
is acknowledged. The PSW is restored by the RETI or RETB instruction. If a single register bank is predetermined for the interrupt
handling routine, only the SEL RBn instruction need be executed. The PUSH PSW instruction need not be executed.

Chapter 3 CPU Function

(2) Function
General-purpose registers can be operated in units of eight bits. They can also be operated in units of 16 bits,
that is, a pair of eight-bit registers can be operated as a single unit (AX, BC, DE, HL).
Each register can temporarily hold operation results or can be used as an operand of an arithmetic/logical
instruction between registers.
General-purpose registers are grouped into four register banks. By separating the register banks to be used
for ordinary operation from those for interrupt handling, an efficient program can be created.
The registers have different functions as described below:
A (R1)

: Central register for the transfer of 8-bit data or arithmetic/logical operations. This
register can also hold bit data.
The register can also hold the offset value for indexed addressing.

AX (RP0)

: Central register for the transfer of 16-bit data or arithmetic/logical operations

X (R0)

: Register that can hold bit data

B (R3)

: Register with the functions of a loop counter. The register can be used by the DBNZ
instruction.
This register can also hold the offset value for indexed addressing.

C (R2)

: Register with the functions of a loop counter. The register can be used by the DBNZ
instruction.

DE (RP2), HL (RP3) : Registers with the functions of a pointer. The registers specify a base address for register
indirect addressing and base addressing.
This register can also hold the offset value for indexed addressing.
Each register can be identified by a name representing its function (X, A, C, B, E, D, L, H, AX, BC, DE, HL) or
by an absolute name (R0 to R7, RP0 to RP3). For details of the relationship between the function names and
absolute names, see Table 3-3.

3.2.5 Special Function Registers (SFR)
A mode register, control register, and other registers with special functions, which are built-in hardware
peripherals, are mapped into the 256-byte space from 0FF00H to 0FFFFH.
Caution Never access an address to which no SFR is mapped in this area. If this is attempted, the µPD78214 may enter a deadlock. To clear
the deadlock, a reset signal must be input to the device.

Table 3-4 lists the special function registers (SFR). The following column headings are used:
• Symbol : Symbol indicating the built-in SFR. This is a reserved word for NEC’s assembler (RA78K/II). For the
C compiler (CC78K/II), the #pragma sfr instruction allows this symbol to be used as an sfr variable.
• R/W

: Whether the contents of the SFR can be read or written
R/W : Read/write
R

: Read-only

W

: Write-only

• Bit unit : Number of bits that can be manipulated when the SFR is operated. The SFR that can be manipulated
in units of 16 bits can be coded in the sfrp operand or specified by an even address. The SFR that can
be manipulated in one-bit units can be coded in the bit manipulation instruction.
• At reset : Status of the register when RESET is input

Chapter 3 CPU Function

3.3 NOTES
(1) A program fetch from the internal RAM area is prohibited.
(2) Operation of the stack pointer
In stack addressing, the entire 64K bytes can be accessed. No stack area can be mapped into the SFR area
or internal ROM area.
(3) Special function register (SFR)

3

Never access an address to which no SFR is mapped in the area from 0FF00H to 0FFFFH. If this is attempted,
the µPD78214 may enter a deadlock. To clear the deadlock, a reset signal must be input to the device.
(4) Initializing the stack pointer
The SP becomes undefined when RESET is input. Meanwhile, nonmaskable interrupts can be acknowledged
immediately after a reset is released. If a nonmaskable interrupt request occurs while the SP is undefined
immediately after a reset is released, an unpredictable operation may be carried out. To minimize this danger,
initialize the SP immediately after a reset is released. For details, see Section 12.3.2.

CHAPTER 4 CLOCK GENERATOR
4.1 CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTION
A clock generator generates and controls the internal system clock (CLK) sent to the CPU. Fig. 4-1 shows the
configuration of the clock generator.

Remarks fXX : Crystal/ceramic oscillation frequency

The clock oscillator oscillates according to a crystal or ceramic resonator connected to pins X1 and X2. In standby
(STOP) mode, the oscillation is stopped (see Chapter 14).
The external clock can also be input. To input the external clock, input the clock signal to pin X1 and the inverted
signal to pin X2. If the external clock is input, STOP mode cannot be selected.
The frequency divider divides the output from the clock oscillator (fXX for the crystal/ceramic oscillation, fX for the
external clock) by two and generates the internal system clock (CLK).

Caution When using the clock oscillator, the adverse influence of stray capacitance must be avoided. When configuring the circuit enclosed
in a dashed line, observe the following:
• Minimize the wiring length.
• Do not let other signal lines cross this circuit.
• Keep this circuit away from lines through which a varying high current flows.
• Always ground the capacitors of the oscillator at the same potential as VSS. Do not ground the capacitors to a ground pattern
through which a high current flows.
• Do not draw signals from the oscillator.

Remark Different uses of the crystal and ceramic resonator
Generally, a crystal’s oscillation frequency is quite stable. Crystals are ideal for high-precision time management (for example, clock
or frequency measurement). In comparison with crystals, ceramic resonators are less stable but offer three advantages: a shorter
oscillation start time, smaller dimensions, and lower price. Ceramic resonators are suitable for general applications (which do not
require high-precision time management). If a ceramic resonator incorporating capacitors is used, the number of components and
the mounting area can be reduced.

4.2 NOTES
Regarding the clock generator, note the following:

4.2.1 Inputting an External Clock
(1) When inputting an external clock, do not select STOP mode. The clock generator may be damaged. At least,
its reliability will be adversely affected.
(2) When inputting an external clock, input the clock signal to pin X1 and the inverted signal to pin X2. If the
inverted signal is not input to the pin X2, malfunctions may readily occur due to noise.
(3) When inputting an external clock, use HCMOS or a device having equivalent drive capability.
(4) Do not draw signals from pins X1 and X2. Draw signals from point a shown in Fig. 4-3.
Fig. 4-3 Point from Which Signals Can Be Drawn When an External Clock Is Input

(5) Minimize the length of the line connecting pin X1 to pin X2 through the inverter.

4.2.2 Using the Crystal/Ceramic Oscillator
(1) The oscillator is a high-frequency analog circuit. Use the oscillator carefully. Special notes are given below:
• Minimize the lengths of the wiring.
• Do not let other signal lines cross this circuit.
• Keep the oscillator away from a line through which a varying high current flows.
• Always ground the capacitors of the oscillator at the same potential as pin VSS. Do not ground the
capacitors to a ground pattern through which a high current flows.
• Do not draw signals from the oscillator.
The microcomputer is capable of normal, stable operation only when the oscillation is normal and stable. If
a high-precision oscillation frequency is required, consult with the oscillator manufacturer.

(2) At power-on or return from STOP mode, some time is required for the oscillation to settle. Generally, a crystal
requires a few milliseconds, and a ceramic resonator several hundreds of microseconds, for the oscillation
to settle.
The oscillation settling time is determined as described below. Ensure that sufficient time is allowed for the
oscillation to settle.

5.2 PORT 0
Port 0 is an 8-bit output-only port with an output latch and can drive transistors directly. The port 0 mode register
(PM0) can specify that port 0 be in either the output mode or high-impedance state in 8-bit units.
A set of P00 through P03 and a set of P04 through P07 function as a 4-bit real-time output port. Similarly, a set of
P00 through P07 functions as an 8-bit real-time output port. These ports can output the contents of the P0L and
P0H buffers at arbitrary intervals. The real-time output trigger control register (RTPC) specifies whether port 0 is
to function as an ordinary output port or real-time output port.
When the RESET signal is input, the output of port 0 becomes high impedance, and the contents of the output latch
become undefined.

5.2.2 Setting the Input/Output Mode and Control Mode
The port 0 mode register (PM0) sets the I/O mode of port 0, as shown in Fig. 5-3. This register is set by an 8-bit
data transfer instruction. (It can neither manipulated in bit units nor read-accessed).

To use port 0 as a real-time output port, it is necessary to set the P0LM and P0HM bits of the real-time output port
control register (RTPC) to 1.
When the P0LM and P0HM bits are set, the output buffer for each pin is turned on, and the contents of the output
latch are output to the pin, regardless of the contents of the PM0.

5.2.3 Operation
Port 0 is an output-only port.
Once port 0 is put in the output mode, the output latch becomes operable, enabling data transfer between the
output latch and accumulator according to a transfer instruction. The output latch can be loaded with any data
by a logical operation instruction. Once the output latch is loaded with some data, it retains the data until it is
loaded with other data.
If port 0 is specified to be a real-time output port, no data can be written to the output latch. However, it is possible
to read the contents of the output latch if it is in the real-time output port mode.

5.2.5 Driving Transistors
Because port 0 has an enhanced driving capacity for the high level side of the output buffer, it can drive a transistor
directly on an active-high signal.

5.3 PORT 2
Port 2 is an 8-bit input-only port. P22 through P27 have a software-programmable built-in pull-up resistor. In
addition to functioning as an input port, port 2 functions as a control signal input pin such as for external interrupts
(see Table 5-3). All the 8 input pins of port 2 are configured as Schmitt trigger circuits in order to prevent
malfunction due to noise.

(a) Function as a port pin
Although the pins of port 0 are shared by more than one function, the level of each pin can be read and tested.
(b) Function as a control signal input pin
(i) NMI (nonmaskable interrupt)
The NMI pin receives a nonmaskable interrupt request from the outside. The external interrupt mode
register (INTM0) specifies which edge, rising or falling, is valid as an interrupt request signal.
(ii) INTP0 through INTP5 (interrupt from peripherals)
The INTP0 through INTP5 pins receive interrupt requests from the outside. An interrupt occurs when one
of these pin receives an edge specified as valid by the external interrupt mode register (INTM0 and
INTM1). (See Chapter 11.)
The INTP0 through INTP3 and INTP5 pins are also used to receive external triggers, as listed below:
• INTP0: 8-bit timer/counter 1 capture trigger input and real-time output port trigger signal
• INTP1: 8-bit timer/counter 2 capture trigger input
• INTP2: 8-bit timer/counter 2 external count clock input
• INTP3: 16-bit timer/counter 2 capture trigger input
• INTP5: A/D converter external trigger input
(iii) CI (clock input)
The CI pin receives external clock inputs for 8-bit timer/counter 2.
(iv) ASCK (asynchronous serial clock)
The ASCK pin receives a baud rate clock from the outside.
(v) SI (serial input)
The SI pin receives serial data (during three-wire serial I/O mode).

There is no register to specify an input mode for port 2. Port 2 is always ready to receive control signals. A register
such as a control register in the hardware is used to specify what control signal to receive.

5.3.3 Operation
Port 2 is an input-only port, and the level of each pin of it can be read and tested.
For P20 through P27, the level from which noise has be removed can be read and tested. See Chapter 11 for
removing noise.

Caution For the in-circuit emulator, the level of each port 2 pin from which noise has not been removed can be read and tested.

5.3.4 Built-In Pull-Up Resistor
P22 through P27 have built-in pull-up resistors. When they must be pulled up, the built-in pull-up resistors should
be used. Use of the built-in pull-up resistors can reduce the number of the required components and the required
installation space.
The PUO2 bit of the pull-up-resistor-option register (PUO) can specify whether to use the built-in pull-up resistors
at P22 through P27, for all six pins at one time. (It is impossible to specify use of the built-in pull-up resistor for
an individual bit independently of the other bits.)
P20 or P21 does not have a built-in pull-up resistor.

Caution P22 through P26 are not pulled up immediately after a reset. In this case, INTP1 through INTP5 (one of the multiple functions
assigned to P22 to P26) may set interrupt request flags. To avoid this problem, specify use of the pull-up resistors in the initialization
routine, before clearing the interrupt flags.

5.4 PORT 3
Port 3 is an 8-bit I/O port with an output latch. The port 3 mode register (PM3) can put each bit of this port in either
the input or output mode, separately from the other bits. Each pin has a software-programmable built-in pull-up
resistor.
In addition to I/O functions, each pin works as control signal pin.
The port 3 mode control register (PMC3) can specify the mode of operation for each pin separately from the other
pins, as listed in Table 5-4. The level of any pin can be read and tested, regardless of what function the pin is
performing.
When the RESET signal is input, port 3 becomes an input port (in the high output impedance state), and the
contents of the output latch become undefined.

The PMC3 register can specify each pin of port 3 as a control pin independently of the other pins, as described
below.
(i) RxD (receive data)
The RxD pin receives serial data from the asynchronous serial interface.
(ii) TxD (transmit data)
The TxD pin outputs serial data to the asynchronous serial interface.

The SCK pin is a serial clock I/O pin for the clock-synchronized serial interface.
(iv) SO (serial output)/SB0 (serial bus)
The SO pin outputs serial data (during three-wire serial I/O mode). The SB0 pin is a serial bus I/O pin
(during the SBI mode).
Remark For bit 3 (P33) of port 3, “SB0” is a reserved word in the NEC assembly program package. The bit is also defined in a header
file named sfrbit.h by the C compiler.

(v) TO0 through TO3 (timer output)
The TO0 through TO3 pins are timer output pins.

5.4.3 Operation
Port 3 is an I/O port. Its pins also function as control signal pins.
(1) Output port
When port 3 is in the output mode, its output latch is operable. Once the output latch becomes operable, data
can be transferred between the output latch and the accumulator using a transfer instruction. The output latch
can be loaded with any data by a logical operation instruction. Once the output latch is loaded with some data,
it retains the data until it is loadedNote with other data.
Note This includes a case in which any other bit of the same port is manipulated using a bit manipulation instruction.

(2) Input port
The level of each pin of port 3 can be transferred to the accumulator by a transfer instruction. Also in this case,
data can be written to the output latches, and all output latches store data transferred from the accumulator
by a transfer instruction or other similar instruction, regardless of the current mode of the port operation. If
a pin is specified as an input port, however, the latched data is not output to the port pin because the output
buffer at the pin is in the high-impedance state. (When the pin is switched to the output mode, the contents
of the output latch are output to the port pin.) If a pin is specified as an input port, the contents of the output
latch for the pin cannot be transferred to the accumulator.

Although its ultimate purpose is to manipulate only 1 bit, a bit manipulation instruction accesses a port in 8-bit units. If a
bit manipulation instruction is used for a port some pins of which are in the output mode and the other pins of which are in
the input mode, the contents of the output latch corresponding to the pins in the input mode or the control mode become
undefined (except for the bits manipulated by the SET1 or CLR1 instruction). Special care should be taken if bits are switched
between the input and output modes.
The same holds true when the port is manipulated using 8-bit arithmetic/logical instructions.

(3) Control signal input or output
Regardless of setting of the port mode 3 register (PM3), each bit of port 3 can be used to input or output a
control signal, independently of the other bits, by setting the corresponding bit of the port mode control
register (PMC3) to 1. When a pin is used for a control signal, executing a read instruction for the port can detect
the state of the control signal.

(a) Control signal output
When a bit of the port mode register (PM3n) is 1, executing a read instruction for port 3 can read the level
of the corresponding control signal pin.
When a bit of the port mode register (PM3n) is 0, executing a read instruction for port 3 can check the
corresponding control signal in the µPD78214.
Remark For bit 3 (P33) of port 3, “SB0” is a reserved word in the NEC assembly program package. The bit is also defined in a header
file named sfrbit.h by the C compiler.

(b) Control signal input
Only when a bit of the port mode register (PM3n) is 1, executing a read instruction for port 3 can read the
level of the corresponding control signal pin.

5.4.4 Built-In Pull-Up Resistor
Port 3 has built-in pull-up resistors. When port 3 must be pulled up, the built-in pull-up resistors should be used.
Use of the built-in pull-up resistors can reduce the number of the required components and the required
installation space.
Use of a built-in pull-up resistor can be specified for each bit of port 3, independently of the other bits, by the PUO3
bit of pull-up-resistor-option register (PUO) and the port 3 mode register (PM3). When the PUO3 bit is 1, the builtin pull-up resistor for a pin specified by the PM3 (PM3n = 1, n = 0 to 7) is connected.
If a pin is specified to be in the control mode, the built-in pull-up resistor for the pin is connected. (A built-in pullup resistor is connected to a pin that becomes an output pin during the control mode.) If you do not want to use
the built-in pull-up resistor for a pin in the control mode, reset the corresponding bit of the PM3 to 0 (output mode).

5.5 PORT 4
Port 4 is an 8-bit I/O port with an output latch. The memory expansion mode register (MM) can put all 8 bits of
this port in either the input or output mode at one time. Each pin has a software-programmable built-in pull-up
resistor, and can drive an LED directly.
When an external memory or I/O device is expanded, port 4 functions as a time-division address/data bus (AD0
through AD7).
For the µPD78213, port 4 functions only as a time-division address/data bus (AD0 through AD7).
When the RESET signal is input, port 4 becomes an input port (high output impedance), and the contents of the
output latch become undefined.

5.7 PORT 6
Port 6 is an 8-bit I/O port with an output latch. P64 through P67 have a software-programmable built-in pull-up

In addition to the port functions, port 5 works as I/O pins for various control signals as listed in Table 5-7. Each
control pin is operated by the corresponding function.
For the µPD78213, P64 and P65 function only as RD and WR output pins, respectively.
When the RESET signal is input, P60 through P63 go low, and P64 through P67 are put in the input port mode (high
output impedance state). At the same time, the contents of the higher 4 bits of the output latch become undefined,

the initial state.

(b) Control signal I/O mode
(i) A16 through A19 (address bus)
These pins function as the upper address bus output pins when the external memory space is expanded
(10000H through FFFFFH). They operate according to the setting of the memory expansion register (MM).
(ii) RD (read strobe)
This pin outputs a strobe signal to read from external memory. For the µPD78213, it always operates. For
the other models, it operates when the external memory is expanded.
(iii) WR (write strobe)
This pin outputs a strobe signal to write to external memory. For the µPD78213, it always operates. For
the other models, it operates according to the setting of the MM register.
(iv) WAIT (wait)
This pin receives a wait signal. It operates according to the setting of the programmable wait control (PW)
register or the MM register.
(v) REFRQ (refresh request)
When a pseudo-static memory is connected to externally, this pin outputs a refresh pulse to the pseudostatic memory. It operates according to the setting of the refresh mode register (RFM).

P66 and P67 can always receive analog signals.
The ADM of the A/D converter specifies the mode of the A/D converter operation. (See Chapter 8.) To use port

Although its ultimate purpose is to manipulate only 1 bit, a bit manipulation instruction accesses a port in 8-bit units. If a
bit manipulation instruction is used for a port some pins of which are in the output mode and the other pins of which are in
the input mode, the contents of the output latch corresponding to the pins in the input mode become undefined (except for
the bits manipulated by the SET1 or CLR1 instruction). Special care should be taken if bits are switched between the input
and output modes.
The same holds true when the port is manipulated using 8-bit arithmetic/logical instructions.

Chapter 5 Port Functions

(3) Control pins
When port 6 function as control pins, they cannot be manipulated or tested by software.
(4) Analog inputs (P66 and P67 only)
When port 6 is used as analog input pins (AN6 and AN7), the level of each pin can be read and tested.

5.7.4 Built-In Pull-Up Resistor
P64 through P67 have built-in pull-up resistors. When they must be pulled up, the built-in pull-up resistors should
be used. Use of the built-in pull-up resistors can reduce the number of the required components and the required
installation space.
Use of a built-in pull-up resistor can be specified for each of these pins, independently of the other pins, by the
PUO6 bit of pull-up-resistor-option register (PUO) and the port 6 mode register (PM6).
When the PUO6 bit is 1, the built-in pull-up resistor for a pin specified by the PM6 (PM6n = 1, n = 4 to 7) is connected.
P60 through P63 do not have a built-in pull-up resistor.

resistors for port 6.

5.7.5 Note
When P66 and P67 are used as analog input pins AN6 and AN7 respectively or when A/D conversion is not
performed, do not apply a voltage out of the range AVSS through AVREF to these pins, if AN6 and AN7 are selected
for ANI0 through ANI2 of the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
See Chapter 8 for details.

5.8 PORT 7
Port 7 is a 6-bit input-only port. It functions as A/D converter analog input pins (AN0 through AN5) as well as input
port pins.
The level of each pin of port 7 can be read and tested, although it is a dual-function pin.

5.8.2 Setting the I/O Mode and Control Mode
Port 7 is an input-only port.
Port 7 is designed so that it can always receive analog inputs. Therefore, it is unnecessary to specify a mode.
The ADM register for the A/D converter is used to specify the mode of A/D converter operation. (See Chapter 8
for details.)

5.8.5 Notes
(1) When P70 through P75 are used as analog input pins AN0 and AN5 respectively or when A/D conversion is
not performed, do not apply a voltage out of the range AVSS through AVREF to the pins that are selected for
ANI0 through ANI2 of the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
See Chapter 8 for details.
(2) Port 7 is a 6-bit input port. The upper 2 bits of “8-bit” data from port 7 are undefined.

5.9 NOTES
(1) When the RESET signal is input, all the port pins are set to high-impedance (disconnected from their built-in
pull-up resistors).
If it is necessary to prevent a port pin from being set to high-impedance state when the RESET signal is being
supplied, take an appropriate action using an external circuit.
(2) Some operations of the pull-up-resistor-option register (PUO), which is used to specify connection of builtin pull-up resistors, cannot be emulated by an in-circuit emulator, because of the following restrictions:
• The contents of the PUO register cannot be read correctly.
• Bit manipulation instructions or logical/arithmetic instructions do not work for the PUO register; an SFR
illegal access break may occur, aborting emulation.
• No built-in pull-up resistor is provided.
Therefore, observe the following two points.
• To set the PUO register, use only an 8-bit data transfer instruction (MOV).
• When debugging the target board, use pull-up resistors provided on it.
(3) Supplying the RESET signal does not initialize the contents of the output latch. When using a port in the output
mode, initialize the output latch before turning on the output buffer. Otherwise, data output from the output
ports is unpredictable.
Similarly, to use a port as a control pin, always initialize the internal hardware before specifying the control
pin.

93

µPD78214 Sub-Series

(4) P22 through P26 are not pulled up immediately after a reset, and the interrupt request flag may be set
depending on the function of a dual-function pin (INTP1 through INTP5). Therefore, specify connection of a
pull-up resistor in the initialization routine, before clearing the interrupt request flag.
(5) With an in-circuit emulator, the level of each pin of port 2 can be read and tested before noise is removed.
(6) For the µPD78214, to use P40 through P47 and P50 through P57 as an address/data bus and an address bus
respectively, always reset the PUO4 and PUO5 bits of the PUO register to 0 so that a built-in pull-up resistor
is not used.
For the µPD78213, P40 through P47 and P50 through P57 are always used as an address/data bus and an
address bus respectively, and the PUO4 and PUO5 bits of the PUO register must always be reset to 0, and a
built-in pull-up resistor must not be connected.
(7) To use P60 through P63 as an output port, always reset to the PM60 through P63 bits to 0. If they are not 0,
P60 through P63 cannot be emulated normally by an in-circuit emulator.
(8) To use analog inputs AN6 and AN7, put P66 and P67 in the input mode, respectively.
(9) To use P66 and P67 as AN6 and AN7 respectively, reset the PUO6 to 0; do not specify connection of built-in
pull-up resistors for port 6.
(10) When P66 and P67 are used as analog input pins AN6 and AN7 respectively or when A/D conversion is not
performed, do not apply a voltage out of the range AVSS through AVREF to these pins, if AN6 and AN7 are
selected for ANI0 through ANI2 of the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
See Chapter 8 for details.
(11) To use the P66/WAIT pin as the WAIT pin, it is necessary to put P66 in the input mode using the PM6 register.
(12) When P70 through P75 are used as analog input pins AN0 and AN5 respectively or when A/D conversion is
not performed, do not apply a voltage out of the range AVSS through AVREF to the pins that are selected for
ANI0 through ANI2 of the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
See Chapter 8 for details.
(13) Although its ultimate purpose is to manipulate only 1 bit, a bit manipulation instruction accesses a port in 8bit units. If a bit manipulation instruction is used for a port some pins of which are in the output mode and
the other pins of which are in the input mode, the contents of the output latch corresponding to the pins in
the input mode or the control mode become undefined (except for the bits manipulated by the SET1 or CLR1
instruction). Special care should be taken if bits are switched between the input and output modes. The same
applies when the port is manipulated using 8-bit arithmetic/logical instructions.
(14) Port 7 is a 6-bit input port. The upper 2 bits of “8-bit” data from port 7 are undefined.

CHAPTER 6 REAL-TIME OUTPUT FUNCTION
6.1 CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTION
The real-time output function is implemented by the hardware centering around port 0 and the buffer register (P0H
and P0L) as shown in Fig. 6-1.
The term real-time output function refers to a function that transfers data in the buffer register to the output latch
by hardware for output to the outside simultaneously when a timer interrupt or external interrupt occurs. The term
real-time output port refers to a pin used to output such data to the outside.
The real-time output function handles the following two types of real-time output data:
• 4 bits × 2 channels

6

• 8 bits × 1 channel
Combined use of the real-time output function and the macro service function (described later) implements a
pattern generator function with programmable timing without intervention by software.
The pattern generator function is suitable to control stepper motors.

6.2 REAL-TIME OUTPUT CONTROL REGISTER (RTPC)
The real-time output control register (RTPC) is an 8-bit register to specify the functions of port 0. An 8-bit
manipulation instruction and a bit manipulation instruction can be used to read data from and write data to the
RTPC register. Fig. 6-2 shows the format of this register.
When the RESET signal is input, the RTPC is reset to 00H.

Caution When the P0ML or P0MH is set to 1, the output buffer for the corresponding output port is turned on to output the contents of the
port 0 output latch, regardless of the contents of the port 0 mode register (PM0). Therefore, initialize the contents of the output
latch before specifying the real-time output port.

6.3 ACCESS TO THE REAL-TIME OUTPUT PORT
The buffer registers (P0H and P0L) are mapped to independent addresses in the SFR area, as shown in Fig. 6-3.
When the 4-bit × 2-channel real-time output function is specified, data can be set in each buffer register (P0H or
P0L) independently.
When the 8-bit × 1-channel real-time output function is specified, 8-bit data can be set in the buffer registers by
writing to either one (P0H or P0L).
Table 6-1 lists the operating modes of port 0 and the operations needed for the port 0 buffer registers.

The following three sources can determine the timing at which data is output to an output latch.
• Interrupt from 8-bit timer/counter 1 (INTC10 or INTC11)
• INTP0 external interrupt

98

Chapter 6 Real-Time Output Function

6.4 OPERATION
When port 0 is in the real-time output port mode, the contents of the buffer registers (P0H and P0L) are sent to the
output latches for output to the pins of port 0 in synchronization with the occurrence of a trigger condition listed
in Table 6-2.
For example, let’s select, as an output trigger source, a signal (INTC10 or INTC11) indicating that timer 1 (TM1) of
8-bit timer/counter 1 coincides with the compare register (CR10 or CR11). In this case, the output data at the pins
of port 0 can be made to reflect the contents of the buffer register at intervals of a value preset in each compare
register. Combined use of the real-time output port function and the macro service function can output data at
each pin of port 0 sequentially at arbitrary intervals (see Section 12.4 ).
If external interrupt INTP0 is selected as an external output trigger source, data can be output from port 0 in
synchronization with an external event.

Caution With an in-circuit emulator, digital noise cannot be eliminated normally from the INTP0 pin. When it is specified that data transfer

to an erroneously detected edge. Keep in mind this characteristic when using the in-circuit emulator.

6.5 APPLICATION EXAMPLE
This section describes an example of application in which P00 through P03 are used as a 4-bit real-time output port.
Each time TM1 for 8-bit timer/counter 1 coincides with the contents of CR10, the contents of the P0L are output
to P00 through P03. At this point, an interrupt occurs, and the interrupt handling routine for this interrupt sets the
next data to be output and determines the timing at which the output is to change (see Fig 6-6).
See Section 7.2 for how to use timer/counter 1.
Fig. 6-7 shows the data to be set in the control register, Fig. 6-8 illustrates the procedure to set the data, and Fig.
6-9 is a flowchart of the interrupt handling routine.

6.6 NOTES
(1) When the P0ML or P0MH is set to 1, the output buffer for the corresponding output port is turned on to output
the contents of the port 0 output latch, regardless of the contents of the port 0 mode register (PM0). Therefore,
initialize the contents of the output latch before specifying the real-time output port.
(2) When port 0 is used as a real-time output port, values cannot be written directly to the output latch by software.
Therefore, the output latch must be set with the initial value by software beforehand, if necessary.
If it is necessary to forcibly change the output data into a constant value when port 0 is used as a real-time
output port, put port 0 in an ordinary output mode by manipulating the RTPC, before writing the desired value
to the output latch.
(3) Even if it is specified that data transfer from the buffer register to the output latch is to occur according to a
signal from the INTP0 pin, data transfer from the buffer register to the output latch occurs when the contents
of timer/counter 1 (TM1) coincide with the contents of the compare register (CR10).
To perform data transfer from the buffer register to the output latch only according to a signal from the INTP0
pin, perform one of the following points. Use of any of these methods does not allow use of the compare
register (CR10) for 8-bit timer/counter 1.
(a) Do not use 8-bit timer/counter 1.
(b) When using the capture/compare register (CR11) for 8-bit timer/counter 1 as the compare register, use the
compare register as an interval timer in a mode in which clearing occurs when the contents of the capture/
compare register (CR11) coincide with the contents of 8-bit timer 1 (TM1).
In this case, however, make sure that the contents of the compare register (CR10) are greater than those
in the CR11 register.
(c) When using the capture/compare register (CR11) for 8-bit timer/counter 1 as the capture register, use the
capture register only when it is guaranteed that the period of the valid edge of a signal input at INTP0 is
sufficiently shorter than the time required for the value in 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) to change from 0 to FEH.
In this case, set the compare register (CR10) to FFH, and clear timer/counter 1 after captured.
(d) If there is no problem, even if data transfer from the buffer register to the output latch is delayed by at least
one clock of 8-bit timer (TM1), and it is guaranteed that TM1 does not overflow, set the following:
• Specify that 8-bit timer/counter 1 is cleared after captured by the INTP0 signal.
• Specify that the INTP0 signal is not used as a trigger signal for data transfer through the real-time output
port.
• Specify that the compare register (CR10) is reset to 0H.

(4) With an in-circuit emulator, digital noise cannot be eliminated normally from the INTP0 pin. When it is
specified that data transfer from the buffer register to the output latch be performed according to a signal from
the INTP0 pin, data transfer may occur according to an erroneously detected edge. Keep in mind this
characteristic when using the in-circuit emulator.

7.1 16-BIT TIMER/COUNTER
7.1.1 Functions
The 16-bit timer/counter can function as an interval timer and can also be used for programmable square wave
output and pulse width measurement. In addition to these basic functions, the 16-bit timer/counter can be used
for the following:
• PWM output
• Period measurement
(1) Interval timer
When operating as an interval timer, the 16-bit timer/counter generates an internal interrupt at specified
intervals.

(1) 16-bit timer 0 (TM0)
TM0 is a count-up timer using a count clock of fCLK/8.
The count operation of TM0 can be enabled or disabled by timer control register 0 (TMC0).
TM0 allows only read operation using a 16-bit manipulation instruction. When the RESET signal is applied,
TM0 is cleared to 0000H, and count operation stops.
(2) Compare registers (CR00, CR01)
The CR00 and CR01 registers are 16-bit registers for holding a value that determines the period of the interval
timer.
When the values of the CR00 and CR01 registers coincide with the value of TM0, interrupt requests (INTC00,
INTC01) and timer output control signals are generated. Count value clear operation can also be performed
when the value of CR01 coincides with the value of TM0.
The compare registers allow both read and write operations using a 16-bit manipulation instruction. When
the RESET signal is applied, the compare registers become undefined.
(3) Capture register (CR02)
The CR02 register is a 16-bit register for capturing the value of TM0.
Capture operation is performed on a valid edge (capture trigger) occurring on the external interrupt request
(INTP3) input pin. The value of CR02 register is held until the next capture trigger occurs.
The CR02 register allows only read operation using a 16-bit manipulation instruction. When the RESET signal
is applied, the CR02 register becomes undefined,
(4) Edge detector
The edge detector detects a valid edge of an external input signal.
When the edge detector detects, on the INTP3 input pin, a valid edge specified in external interrupt mode
register 1 (INTM1), INTP3 and a capture trigger are generated. (See Fig. 11-2 for information about the INTM1
register.)
(5) Output control circuit
When the value of CR00 or CR01 coincides with the value of TM0, timer output can be inverted. By setting
the lower 4 bits of the timer output control register (TOC), a square wave can be output on a timer output pin
(TO0, TO1). At this time, PWM/PPG output is possible, depending on the setting of capture/compare control
register 0 (CRC0).
Timer output can be disabled or enabled by the TOC register. When timer output is disabled, the inactive level
is output on the TO0 and TO1 pins. (The active level is set using the TOC register.)

7.1.3 16-Bit Timer/Counter Control Registers
(1) Timer control register 0 (TMC0)
The TMC0 register is an 8-bit register for controlling the count operation of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0).
The lower 4 bits control the count operation of TM0. (The higher 4 bits control the count operation of 8-bit
timer/counter 3.)
The TMC0 register allows both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-3
shows the format of the TMC0 register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the TMC0 register is cleared to 00H.

The CRC0 register is used to specify the condition for enabling the clear operation of TM0 to be performed
by a coincidence between the value of the CR01 compare register and the count value of TM0. The CRC0
register is also used to specify a timer output (TO0, TO1) mode.
The CRC0 register allows only write operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-4 shows the
format of the CRC0 register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the CRC0 register is cleared to 10H.

(3) Timer output control register (TOC)
The TOC register is an 8-bit register for specifying the active level of timer output and for enabling/disabling
timer output.
The lower 4 bits control the timer output operation (on the TO0 and TO1 pins) of the 16-bit timer/counter. (The
higher 4 bits control the timer output operation (on the TO2 and TO3 pins) of 8-bit timer/counter 2.)
The TOC register allows only write operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-5 shows the
format of the TOC register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the TOC register is cleared to 00H.

7.1.4 Operation of 16-Bit Timer 0 (TM0)
(1) Basic operation
The 16-bit timer/counter performs count operation by counting up with a count clock of fCLK/8.
When the RESET signal is applied, TM0 is cleared to 0000H, and count operation stops.
Bit 3 (CE0) of timer control register 0 (TMC0) is used to enable/disable count operation. When the CE0 bit is
reset to 1 by software, TM0 is cleared to 0000H by the first count clock pulse, then count-up operation starts.
When the CE0 bit is reset to 0, TM0 is cleared to 0000H by the next count clock pulse, then capture operation
and coincide with signal generation stop.
If the CE0 bit is set to 1 when the CE0 bit is already set to 1, TM0 is not cleared, but continues count operation.
If the count clock is applied when the value of TM0 is FFFFH, TM0 is set to 0000H. At this time, OVF0 is set
to send the overflow signal to the output control circuit. OVF0 can be cleared only by software. Count
operation continues.

(2) Clear operation
After a coincidence with the CR01 compare register, 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) can be automatically cleared. If a
TM0 clear cause occurs, TM0 is cleared to 0000H by the next count clock pulse. This means that even if a TM0
clear cause occurs, TM0 holds the value existing at that time until the next count clock pulse is applied.

TM0 can also be cleared by software when the CE0 bit of the timer control register (TMC0) is reset to 0.
Similarly, clear operation is performed by the count clock pulse following the resetting of CE0 bit to 0. If the
CE0 bit is set to 1 before TM0 is reset to 0 by the resetting of the CE0 bit to 0 (that is, before the first count clock
pulse is applied after the CE0 bit is reset to 0), two operations are simultaneously performed: one operation
is an operation to clear TM0 to 0, and the other operation is a count operation starting with the counting of
0.

7.1.5 Compare Register and Capture Register Operations
(1) Compare operation
The 16-bit timer/counter performs an operation to compare the values set in the compare registers with timer
count values.
When the values set in the compare registers (CR00, CR01) coincide with count values of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0),
the coincidence signal is sent to the output control circuit. At the same time, the interrupt requests (INTC00,
INTC01) are generated.
After the value of the CR01 register coincides with a count value of TM0, the count value of TM0 can be cleared.
Thus, the 16-bit timer/counter can operate as an interval timer for repeatedly counting up to the value set in
the CR01 register.
Caution Before the 16-bit timer/counter can perform a compare operation, a value must be loaded into the compare register or
registers used.

(2) Capture operation
The 16-bit timer/counter performs a capture operation to load the count value of the timer into the capture
register in synchronism with an external trigger.
As an external trigger, a valid edge detected on the external interrupt request (INTP3) input pin is used (capture
trigger). In synchronism with a capture trigger, the count value of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) in count operation is
loaded and held in the CR02 capture register. Until the next capture trigger occurs, the value of the CR02
register is held.
A valid edge used as a capture trigger is set using external interrupt mode register 1 (INTM1). When both a
rising edge and falling edge are set as capture triggers, the pulse width of an applied external signal can be
measured. When a capture trigger is generated using one edge, the period of an input pulse signal can be
measured.
For the detailed format of the INTM1 register, see Fig. 11-2 in Chapter 11.

Caution With an in-circuit emulator, digital noise on the INTP3 pin cannot be removed correctly. When the capture function is used, the
operation described below is performed if an edge is detected erroneously.
• When IE-78210-R is used
Capture operation is performed on an erroneously detected edge. At this time, an interrupt request is also generated on the edge.
• When other in-circuit emulators are used
Capture operation is not performed on an erroneously detected edge. However, an interrupt request is generated on the edge.
Accordingly, the capture value must be used after checking by software to see if the INTP3 interrupt was generated normally or
generated on an erroneously detected edge. For detailed information about erroneous edge detection, see Section 11.4.

7.1.6 Basic Operation of Output Control Circuit
The output control circuit controls the levels of the timer outputs (TO0, TO1) according to the overflow signal or
the coincidence signal from the compare registers. The operation of the output control circuit is determined by
the timer output control register (TOC) and capture/compare control register 0 (CRC0). (See Table 7-5.)
Before a timer output (TO0 or TO1) signal can be output on a pin, the pin must be placed in the control mode by
the PMC3 register.

(1) Basic operation
By setting ENTOn (n = 0, 1) of the timer output control register (TOC) to 1, the timer outputs (TO1, TO0) can
be changed with the timing determined by MOD0, MOD1, and CLR01 of capture/compare control register 0
(CRC0).
In addition, by clearing ENTOn (n = 0, 1) to 0, the levels of the timer outputs (TO1, TO0) can be tied. The level
where an output is tied is determined by ALVn (n = 0, 1) of the timer output control register (TOC). When ALVn
(n = 0, 1) is 0, the output is tied high; when ALVn (n = 0, 1) is 1, the output is tied low.
(2) Toggle output
Toggle output is an operation mode where the level of output is inverted each time the value of a compare
register (CR00, CR01) coincides with the value of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0). The output level of TO0 is inverted when
the value of CR00 coincides with the value of TM0. The output level of TO1 is inverted when the value of CR01
coincides with the value of TM0.

7.1.7 PWM Output
The PWM output function outputs a PWM signal whose period coincides with the full-count period of 16-bit timer
0 (TM0). The pulse width of TO0 is determined by the value of CR00, and the pulse width of TO1 is determined
by the value of CR01. Before this function can be used, the CLR01 bit of capture/compare control register 0 (CRC0)
must be set to 0.
The pulse period and pulse width are as follows:
• PWM period = 524288/fCLK
• PWM pulse width = (value set in compare registerNote) × 8 + 2/fCLK

(value set in compare register) × 8/fCLK

Note Zero cannot be set in the compare registers.

• Duty factor = (PWM pulse width)/(PWM period) = ((value set in compare register) × 8 + 2)/(65536 × 8)
set in compare register)/65536

(value

Caution In PWM output, the actual pulse width is longer than a value obtained with the approximate expression by two clock pulses of fCLK
for the active level, and is shorter than such an approximate value by two clock pulses of fCLK for the inactive level. Take this point
into consideration when high-precision output is required.

2. If timer output is disabled (ENTOn = 0: n = 0, 1), the output level on the TOn (n = 0, 1) pin is the inverted value of the value set
in ALVn (n = 0, 1). Accordingly, note that if timer output is disabled when the PWM output function is selected, the active level
is output.

7.1.8 PPG Output
The PPG output function outputs a square wave that has a period determined by the CR01 compare register, and
has a pulse width determined by the CR00 compare register. PPG output is PWM output whose period is made
variable. This output signal can be output on the TO0 pin only.
Before this function can be used, the CLR01 bit of capture/compare control register 0 (CRC0) must be set to 1.
The pulse period and pulse width are as follows:
• PPG period = ((value set in CR01 compare register) + 1) × 8/fCLK
• PPG pulse width = ((value set in CR00 compare register) × 8 + 2)/fCLK

(value set in CR00) × 8/fCLK

where, CR00 ≤ CR01
• Duty factor = (PPG pulse width)/(PPG period) = ((value set in CR00) × 8 + 2)/(((value set in CR01) + 1) × 8)
set in CR00)/((value set in CR01) + 1)

Caution In PPG output, the actual pulse width is longer than a value obtained with the approximate expression by two clock pulses of fCLK
for the active level, and is shorter than such an approximate value by two clock pulses of fCLK for the inactive level. Take this point
into consideration when high-precision output is required or the PPG pulse period is short.

Even if the value of the CR00 compare register coincides with the value of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) more than once
during one period of PPG output, the output levels on the timer outputs (TO0, TO1) are not inverted.

Remark ALV0 = 1
Cautions 1. If a value less than the value of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) is written into the CR00 compare register before the value of CR00 coincides
with the value of TM0, a PPG signal with a 100% duty factor is output in that period. Rewrite CR00, if required, by using an
interrupt generated by a coincidence between TM0 and CR00.

2. If the current value of the CR01 compare register is decreased below the value of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0), the PPG period becomes
as long as the full-count time of TM0. At this time, if CR01 is rewritten after the value of the CR00 compare register coincides
with the value of TM0, the inactive level is output until TM0 overflows to 0, then normal PPG output is resumed. If CR01 is
rewritten before the value of CR00 coincides with the value of TM0, the active level is output until the value of CR00 coincides
with the value of TM0. When the value of CR00 coincides with the value of TM0 before TM0 overflows to 0, the inactive level
is output at that time. When TM0 overflows to 0, the active level is output, and normal PPG output is resumed. Rewrite CR01,
if required, by using an interrupt generated by a coincidence between TM0 and CR01.

TO0 becomes inactive when CR00 coincides with TM0;
otherwise, TO0 remains active.

Remark ALV0 = 1
3. If the PPG period is too short for interrupt acceptance, the measures described in Cautions 1 and 2 above do not lead to solution.
Consider other measures (such as masking all interrupts and polling interrupt request flags by software).
4. If timer output is disabled (ENTOn = 0: n = 0, 1), the output level on the TOn (n = 0, 1) pin is the inverted value of the value set
in ALVn (n = 0, 1). Accordingly, note that if timer output is disabled when the PPG output function is selected, the active level
is output.

7.1.9 Sample Applications
(1) Interval timer operation (1)
By free running 16-bit timer 0 (TM0), and adding a value to a compare register (CR00, CR01) in an interrupt
handling routine, the 16-bit timer/counter can be used as an interval timer whose period is as long as the added
value. (See Fig. 7-24.)
This interval timer has a resolution of 1.3 µs, and can count up to 87.4 ms (at internal system clock fCLK = 6
MHz).
In addition, 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) has two compare registers, so that interval timers with two types of periods
can be produced.
Fig. 7-25 shows the setting of control registers. Fig. 7-26 shows the setting procedure. Fig. 7-27 shows
interrupt handling.

(2) Interval timer operation (2)

(3) Pulse width measurement operation
In pulse width measurement, the width of the high level or low level of an external pulse signal applied to the
external interrupt request (INTP3) input pin is measured.
A pulse signal applied to the INTP3 pin must have a pulse width of 12 system clock pulses (2 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz)
or more for both the high level and the low level. If the pulse width is less than this value, no valid edge can
be detected, thus resulting in a failure to perform capture operation.
This pulse width measurement allows a pulse width of 2.6 µs to 87.4 ms to be measured with a resolution of
1.3 µs (at fCLK = 6 MHz).
As shown in Fig. 7-31, the value of 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) in count operation is loaded and held in the CR02
capture register on a valid edge (either a rising edge or falling edge) of a signal applied to the INTP3 pin. The
pulse width of the input signal is found by multiplying the count clock (8/fCLK) by the difference between the
TM0 count value (Dn) loaded and held in the CR02 register on the n-th valid edge detected and the TM0 count
value (Dn-1) loaded and held in the CR02 register on the (n – 1)-th valid edge detected.
Fig. 7-32 shows the setting of control registers, and Fig. 7-33 shows the setting procedure.

(4) PWM output operation
In PWM output operation, a pulse signal with a duty factor determined by the value set in a compare register
is output. (See Fig. 7-35.)
The duty factor of a PWM output signal can be changed in steps of 1/65536 from 1/65536 to 65535/65536.
In addition, 16-bit timer 0 (TM0) has two compare registers, so that two types of PWM signals can be output.

µPD78214 Sub-Series

(1) 8-bit timer 1 (TM1)
TM1 is a timer for counting up with the count clock specified by the lower 4 bits of prescaler mode register
1 (PRM1).
The count operation of TM1 can be enabled or disabled by timer control register 1 (TMC1).
TM1 allows only read operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. When the RESET signal is applied,
TM1 is cleared to 00H, and count operation stops.
(2) Compare register (CR10)
The CR10 register is an 8-bit register for holding a value that determines the period of interval timer operation.
When the value of the CR10 register coincides with the value of TM1, an interrupt request (INTC10) is
generated. This coincide with signal functions also as a real-time output port trigger signal. Count value clear
operation can also be performed when the value of CR10 coincides with the value of TM1.
The compare register allows both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. When
the RESET signal is applied, the compare register becomes undefined.
(3) Capture/compare register (CR11)
The CR11 register is an 8-bit register that can be set by capture/compare control register 1 (CRC1) as a compare
register used to detect a coincidence with the count value of TM1 or as a capture register used to capture the
count value of TM1.
(a) When CR11 is set as a compare register
The CR11 register functions as an 8-bit register for holding a value that determines the period of interval
timer operation.
When the value of the CR11 register coincides with the value of TM1, an interrupt request (INTC11) is
generated.
In addition, this coincide with signal functions also as a real-time output port trigger signal. Count value
clear operation can also be performed when the value of CR11 coincides with the value of TM1.
(b) When CR11 is set as a compare register
The CR11 register functions as an 8-bit register that captures the value of TM1 on a valid edge (capture
trigger) appearing on the external interrupt request (INTP0) input pin.
The value of the CR11 register is held until the next capture trigger occurs. After capture operation, TM1
can be cleared.
The CR11 register allows both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. When
the RESET signal is applied, the CR11 register becomes undefined.
(4) Edge detector
The edge detector detects a valid edge of an external input signal.
When the edge detector detects, on the INTP0 input pin, a valid edge specified in external interrupt mode
register 0 (INTM0), INTP0 and a capture trigger are generated. (See Fig. 11-1 for information about the INTM0
register.)
(5) Prescaler
The prescaler generates count clocks from the internal system clock. From these count clocks generated by
the prescaler, a count clock is selected with the selector for the timer to perform count operation.

7.2.3 8-Bit Timer/Counter 1 Control Registers
(1) Timer control register 1 (TMC1)
The TMC1 register is an 8-bit register for controlling the count operations of 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) and 8-bit timer
2 (TM2).
The lower 4 bits control the count operation of TM1 of 8-bit timer/counter 1. (The higher 4 bits control the count
operation of TM2 of 8-bit timer/counter 2.)
The TMC1 register allows both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-44
shows the format of the TMC1 register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the TMC1 register is cleared to 00H.

(2) Prescaler mode register 1 (PRM1)
The PRM1 register is an 8-bit register used to specify a count clock for 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) and 8-bit timer 2
(TM2).
The lower 4 bits are used to specify a count clock for TM1 of 8-bit timer/counter 1. (The higher 4 bits are used
to specify a count clock for TM2 of 8-bit timer/counter 2.)
The PRM1 register allows only write operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. Fig. 7-45 shows the
format of the PRM1 register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the PRM1 register is cleared to 00H.

7.2.4 Operation of 8-Bit Timer 1 (TM1)
(1) Basic operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 1 performs count operation by counting up with the count clock specified by the lower
4 bits of prescaler mode register 1 (PRM1).
When the RESET signal is applied, TM1 is cleared to 00H, and count operation stops.
Bit 3 (CE1) of timer control register 1 (TMC1) is used to enable/disable count operation. (The lower 4 bits of
the TMC1 register are used to control the operation of 8-bit timer/counter 1.) When the CE1 bit is set to 1 by
software, TM1 is cleared to 00H by the first count clock pulse, then count-up operation starts.
When the CE1 bit is reset to 0, TM1 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse, then capture operation and
coincide with signal generation stop.
If the CE1 bit is set to 1 when the CE1 bit is already set to 1, TM1 is not cleared, but continues count operation.
If the count clock signal is applied when the value of TM1 is FFH, TM1 is set to 00H. At this time, OVF1 is set.
OVF1 can be cleared only by software. Count operation continues.

(2) Clear operation
After a coincidence with a compare register (CR1m: m = 0, 1) or capture operation, 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) can be
automatically cleared. If a TM1 clear cause occurs, TM1 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse. This
means that even if a TM1 clear cause occurs, TM1 holds the value existing at that time until the next count
clock pulse is applied.

TM1 can also be cleared by software when the CE1 bit of the timer control register (TMC1) is reset to 0.
Similarly, clear operation is performed by the count clock pulse following the resetting of CE1 bit to 0. If the
CE1 bit is set to 1 before TM1 is reset to 0 by the resetting of the CE1 bit to 0 (that is, before the first count clock
pulse is applied after the CE1 bit is reset to 0), two operations are simultaneously performed: one operation
is an operation to clear TM1 to 0, and the other operation is a count operation starting with the counting of
0.

7.2.5 Compare Register and Capture/Compare Register Operations
(1) Compare operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 1 performs an operation to compare the values set in the compare registers with timer
count values.
When the value set in the compare register (CR10) and the value set in the capture/compare register (CR11)
specified to perform compare operation coincide with count values of 8-bit timer 1 (TM1), the interrupt request
signals (INTC10 for the CR10 register and INTC11 for the CR11 register) are generated.
After the value of the CR10 register or CR11 register coincides with a count value of TM1, the count value of
TM1 can be cleared. Thus, 8-bit timer/counter 1 can operate as an interval timer for repeatedly counting up
to the value set in the CR10 register or CR11 register.

(2) Capture operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 1 performs a capture operation to load the count value of the timer into the capture
register in synchronism with an external trigger.
As an external trigger, a valid edge detected on the external interrupt request (INTP0) input pin is used (capture
trigger). In synchronism with a capture trigger, the count value of 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) in count operation is
loaded and held in the capture/compare register (CR11) specified to perform capture operation. Until the next
capture trigger occurs, the value of the CR11 register is held.
A valid edge used as a capture trigger is set using external interrupt mode register 0 (INTM0). When both a
rising edge and falling edge are set as capture triggers, the pulse width of an applied external signal can be
measured. When a capture trigger is generated using one edge, the period of an input pulse signal can be
measured.
For the detailed format of the INTM0 register, see Fig. 11-1 in Chapter 11.
Caution When using an in-circuit emulator, see the notes described in Section 7.5.4.

7.2.6 Sample Applications
(1) Interval timer operation (1)
By free running 8-bit timer 1 (TM1), and adding a value to a compare register (CR10, CR11) in an interrupt
handling routine, 8-bit timer/counter 1 can be used as an interval timer whose period is as long as the added
value. (See Fig. 7-55.)
In addition, 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) has two compare registers, so that interval timers with two types of periods
can be produced.
Fig. 7-56 shows the setting of control registers. Fig. 7-57 shows the setting procedure. Fig. 7-58 shows
interrupt handling.

(3) Pulse width measurement operation
In pulse width measurement, the width of the high level or low level of an external pulse signal applied to the
external interrupt request (INTP0) input pin is measured.
A pulse signal applied to the INTP0 pin must have a pulse width of 12 system clock pulses (2 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz)
or more for both the high level and the low level. If the pulse width is less than this value, no valid edge can
be detected, thus resulting in a failure to perform capture operation.
As shown in Fig. 7-62, the value of 8-bit timer 1 (TM1) in count operation is loaded and held in the CR11 capture/
compare register specified as a capture register on a valid edge (either a rising edge or falling edge) of a signal
applied to the INTP0 pin. The pulse width of the input signal is found by multiplying the count clock (X/fCLK:
X = 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512) by the difference between the TM1 count value (Dn) loaded and held in the CR11
register on the n-th valid edge detected and the TM1 count value (Dn-1) loaded and held in the CR11 register
on the (n – 1)-th valid edge detected.
Fig. 7-63 shows the setting of control registers, and Fig. 7-64 shows the setting procedure.

7.3.2 Configuration
Eight-bit timer/counter 2 consists of one 8-bit timer 2 (TM2), two 8-bit compare registers (CR20, CR21), and one
8-bit capture register (CR22).
Fig. 7-66 shows the block diagram of 8-bit timer/counter 2.
(1) 8-bit timer 2 (TM2)
TM2 is a timer for counting up with the count clock specified by external interrupt mode register 0 (INTM0)
or the lower 4 bits of prescaler mode register 1 (PRM1). Either an internal count clock or an external count
clock can be selected.
TM2 allows only read operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. The count operation of TM2 can be
enabled or disabled by timer control register 1 (TMC1).
When the RESET signal is applied, TM2 is cleared to 00H, and count operation stops.
(2) Compare registers (CR20, CR21)
The CR20 and CR21 registers are 8-bit registers for holding a value that determines the period of interval timer
operation.
When the values of the CR20 and CR21 registers coincide with the value of TM2, interrupt requests (INTC20,
INTC21) and timer output control signals are generated. Count value clear operation can also be performed
when the value of CR21 coincides with the value of TM2.
The CR20 and CR21 registers allow both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction.
When the RESET signal is applied, the CR20 and CR21 registers become undefined.
(3) Capture register (CR22)
The CR22 register is an 8-bit register for capturing the value of TM2.
Capture operation is performed on a valid edge (capture trigger) occurring on the external interrupt request
(INTP1) input pin. The value of CR22 register is held until the next capture trigger occurs or the value of the
CR22 register is read. After being read, the CR22 register is undefined until a value is set in the CR22 register
when the next capture trigger occurs. After a capture operation, TM2 can be cleared.
The CR22 register allows only read operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. When the RESET signal
is applied, the CR22 register becomes undefined,
(4) Edge detector
The edge detector detects a valid edge of an external input signal.
When the edge detector detects, on the INTP1 input pin, a valid edge specified in external interrupt mode
register 0 (INTM0), INTP1 and a capture trigger are generated. When the edge detector detects a valid edge
on the external interrupt request (INTP2) input pin, a TM2 count clock and INTP2 are generated.

(5) Output control circuit
When the value of CR20 or CR21 coincides with the value of TM2, timer output can be inverted.
By setting the higher 4 bits of the timer output control register (TOC), a square wave can be output on a timer
output pin (TO2, TO3). At this time, PWM/PPG output is possible, depending on the setting of capture/
compare control register 2 (CRC2).
Timer output can be disabled or enabled by the TOC register. When timer output is disabled, a fixed level is
output on the TO2 and TO3 pins. (An output level is set using the TOC register.)
(6) Prescaler
The prescaler generates count clocks from the internal system clock. From these count clocks generated by
the prescaler, a count clock is selected with the selector for the timer to perform count operation.

7.3.4 Operation of 8-Bit Timer 2 (TM2)
(1) Basic operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 2 performs count operation by counting up with the count clock specified by the higher
4 bits of prescaler mode register 1 (PRM1).
Bit 7 (CE2) of timer control register 1 (TMC1) is used to enable/disable count operation. (The higher 4 bits of
the TMC1 register are used to control the operation of 8-bit timer/counter 2.) When the CE2 bit is set to 1 by
software, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the first count clock pulse, then count-up operation starts.
When the CE2 bit is reset to 0 by software, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse, then capture
operation and coincide with signal generation stop.
If the CE2 bit is set to 1 when the CE2 bit is already set to 1, TM2 count operation is not affected. (See Fig. 771 (b).)
If the count clock signal is applied when the value of TM2 is FFH, TM2 is set to 00H. At this time, OVF2 is set,
and the overflow signal is sent to the output control circuit. OVF2 can be cleared only by software. Count
operation continues.
When the RESET signal is applied, TM2 is cleared to 00H, and count operation stops.

(2) Clear operation

After a coincidence with the CR21 compare register or capture operation, 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) can be
automatically cleared. If a TM2 clear cause occurs, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse. This
means that even if a TM2 clear cause occurs, TM2 holds the value existing at that time until the next count
clock pulse is applied.

TM2 can also be cleared by software when the CE2 bit of the timer control register (TMC1) is reset to 0.
Similarly, clear operation is performed by the count clock pulse following the resetting of CE2 bit to 0. If the
CE2 bit is set to 1 before TM2 is reset to 0 by the resetting of the CE2 bit to 0 (that is, before the first count clock
pulse is applied after the CE2 bit is reset to 0), two operations are simultaneously performed: one operation
is an operation to clear TM2 to 0, and the other operation is a count operation starting with the counting of
0.

7.3.5 External Event Counter Function
Eight-bit timer/counter 2 can count clock pulses externally applied to the CI pin.
The external event counter operation mode requires no particular selection method. TM2 functions as an external
event counter when external count input is specified for the count clock of TM2 by setting the higher 4 bits of
prescaler mode register 1 (PRM1).
The maximum frequency of an external clock pulse that can be counted by TM2 functioning as an external event
counter is 187.5 kHz when occurrences of both CI input signal edges are counted, and is 250 kHz when occurrences
of only one edge are counted (fCLK = 6 MHz).
When occurrences of both edges are counted, the external clock pulse signal must have a pulse width of 16 system
clock pulses (2.67 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz) or more for both the high level and the low level. If the pulse width is less than
this value, no edges may be counted. When occurrences of only one edge are counted, the external clock pulse
signal must have a pulse width of 12 system clock pulses (2 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz) or more for both the high level and
the low level. If the pulse width is less than this value, no edges may be counted.
Fig. 7-75 shows the external event count timing of 8-bit timer/counter 2.

µPD78214 Sub-Series

The count operation of TM2 is controlled by the CE2 bit of the TMC1 register as in the case of basic operation.
When the CE2 bit is set to 1 by software, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the first count clock pulse, then count-up
operation starts.
When the CE2 bit is set to 0 by software during TM2 count operation, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the next count
clock pulse, and count operation stops. If the CE2 bit is set to 1 by software when the CE2 bit is already set
to 1, TM2 count operation is not affected.
Cautions

1. When 8-bit timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter, the increment of TM2 lags the input of a valid edge to
the CI pin by a maximum of 28 system clock pulses (4.67 µs: fCLK = 6MHz). This means that TM2 may not be incremented
yet when read immediately after an edge is detected. In addition, the generation of an interrupt request by a coincidence
with a compare register (CR20, CR21) lags the input of an edge. Take this point into consideration when short-period
timing control is required after input of an edge.

2. When 8-bit timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter, TM2 alone cannot distinguish between the state where
no valid edge is applied and the state where only one valid edge has been applied. (See Fig. 7-77.) In either case, the value
of TM2 is 0. When the states need to be distinguished from each other, use the INTP2 interrupt request flag. (The same
pin is used as the INTP2 pin as well as the CI pin, so that the functions can be used at the same time.) Fig. 7-78 shows
an example of distiction.

3. With an in-circuit emulator, digital noise on the CI/INTP2 pin cannot be removed correctly. When the event counter
function is used, the operation described below is performed if an edge is detected erroneously.
• When IE-78210-R is used
Count operation is performed on an erroneously detected edge. At this time, an interrupt request is also generated on
the edge.
• When other in-circuit emulators are used
Count operation is not performed on an erroneously detected edge. However, an interrupt request is generated on the
edge.
For detailed information about erroneous edge detection, see Section 11.4.

7.3.6 One-Shot Timer Function

As shown in Fig. 7-79, a one-shot interrupt is generated when the value (00H-FFH) set in the CR20 or CR21 register
coincides with the value of TM2.
The one-shot timer operation mode can be specified by setting bit 5 (CMD2) of timer control register 1 (TMC1) to
1 by software.
The count operation of TM2 is controlled using the CE2 bit of the TMC1 register as in the case of basic operation.
When the CE2 bit is set to 1 by software, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the first count clock pulse, then count-up operation
starts.
When the value of TM2 reaches FFH (full-count) as the result of count operation, bit 6 (OVF2) of the TMC1 register
is set to 1, and TM2 stops its count operation with the count value of FFH held.
From the count stop state, one-shot timer operation can be started again by resetting the OVF2 bit to 0 by
software. When the OVF2 bit is reset to 0, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse, then count-up
operation restarts.
When the CE2 bit is reset to 0 by software during TM2 count operation, TM2 is cleared to 00H by the next count
clock pulse, and count operation stops. If the CE2 bit is set to 1 by software when the CE2 bit is already set to 1,
TM2 count operation is not affected.

175

µPD78214 Sub-Series

7.3.7 Compare Register and Capture Register Operations
(1) Compare operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 2 performs an operation to compare the values set in the compare registers with timer
count values.
When the values set in the compare registers (CR20, CR21) coincide with count values of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2),
the coincidence signal is sent to the output control circuit. At the same time, the interrupt requests (INTC20,
INTC21) are generated.
After the value of the CR21 register coincides with a count value of TM2, the count value of TM2 can be cleared.
Thus, 8-bit timer/counter 2 can operate as an interval timer for repeatedly counting up to the value set in the
CR21 register.

Caution When using an in-circuit emulator, see the notes described in Section 7.5.4.

(2) Capture operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 2 performs a capture operation to load the count value of the timer into the capture
register in synchronism with an external trigger.
As an external trigger, a valid edge detected on the external interrupt request (INTP1) input pin is used (capture
trigger). In synchronism with a capture trigger, the count value of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) in count operation is
loaded and held in the CR22 capture register. After the value captured in the CR22 register is read by the
program, the value of the CR22 register becomes undefined.
A valid edge used as a capture trigger is set using external interrupt mode register 0 (INTM0). When both a
rising edge and falling edge are set as capture triggers, the pulse width of an applied external signal can be
measured. When a capture trigger is generated using one edge, the period of an input pulse signal can be
measured.
For the detailed format of the INTM0 register, see Fig. 11-1 in Chapter 11.
Cautions

1. The value of the CR22 register, after being read, becomes undefined. A captured value can be used more than once by
saving the captured value to a register or memory.
2. When using an in-circuit emulator, see the notes described in Section 7.5.4.

7.3.8 Basic Operation of Output Control Circuit
The output control circuit controls the levels of the timer outputs (TO2, TO3) according to the coincidence signal
from the compare registers. The operation of the output control circuit is determined by timer output control
register (TOC) and capture/compare control register 2 (CRC2). (See Table 7-15.) Before a timer output (TO0 or TO1)
signal can be output on a pin, the pin must be placed in the control mode by the PMC3 register.

Chapter 7 Timer/Counter Units

(1) Basic operation
By setting ENTOn (n = 2, 3) of the timer output control register (TOC) to 1, the timer outputs (TO2, TO3) can
be changed with the timing determined by MOD0, MOD1, and CLR21 of capture/compare control register 2
(CRC2).
In addition, by clearing ENTOn (n = 2, 3) to 0, the levels of the timer outputs (TO2, TO3) can be tied. The level
where an output is tied is determined by ALVn (n = 2, 3) of the timer output control register (TOC). When ALVn
(n = 2, 3) is 0, the output is tied high; when ALVn (n = 2, 3) is 1, the output is tied low.
(2) Toggle output
Toggle output is an operation mode where the level of output is inverted each time the value of a compare
register (CR20, CR21) coincides with the value of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2). The output level of TO2 is inverted when
the value of CR20 coincides with the value of TM2. The output level of TO3 is inverted when the value of CR21
coincides with the value of TM2.
When 8-bit timer/counter 2 is stopped by resetting the CE2 bit of the TMC1 register to 0, the output level present
at that time is held.

7.3.9 PWM Output
The PWM output function outputs a PWM signal whose period coincides with the full-count period of 8-bit timer
2 (TM2). The pulse width of TO2 is determined by the value of CR20, and the pulse width of TO3 is determined
by the value of CR21. Before this function can be used, the CLR21 and CLR22 bits of capture/compare control
register 2 (CRC2) must be set to 0, and the CMD2 bit of timer control register 1 (TMC1) must be set to 0.
The pulse period and pulse width are as follows:
• PWM period = 256 × x/fCLK
• PWM pulse width = ((value set in compare registerNote) × x + 2)/fCLK
; x = 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512
Note Zero cannot be set in the compare registers.

• Duty factor = (PWM pulse width)/(PWM period) = ((value set in compare register) × x + 2)/(256 × x)
in compare register)/256
★

(value set

Caution In PWM output, the actual pulse width is longer than a value obtained with the approximate expression by two clock pulses of fCLK
for the active level, and is shorter than such an approximate value by two clock pulses of fCLK for the inactive level. Take this point
into consideration when high-precision output is required or a high-speed count clock is used.

Cautions 1. If a value less than the value of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) is set in a compare register (CR20, CR21), a PWM signal with a 100% duty
factor is output. Rewrite the CR20 or CR21 compare register, if required, by using an interrupt generated by a coincidence
between TM2 and the compare register.

2. If timer output is disabled (ENTOn = 0: n = 2, 3), the output level on the TOn (n = 2, 3) is the inverted value of the value set in
ALVn (n = 2, 3). Accordingly, note that if timer output is disabled when the PWM output function is selected, the active level
is output.

7.3.10 PPG Output
The PPG output function outputs a square wave that has a period determined by the CR21 compare register, and
has a pulse width determined by the CR20 compare register. PPG output is PWM output whose period is made
variable. This output signal can be output on the TO0 pin only.
Before this function can be used, the CLR21 bit of capture/compare control register 2 (CRC2) must be set to 1, the
CLR22 bit of the same register must be set to 0, and the CMD2 bit of timer control register 1 (TMC1) must be set
to 0.
The pulse period and pulse width are as follows:
• PPG period = ((value set in CR21 compare register) + 1) × x/fCLK
; x = 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512
• PPG pulse width = ((value set in CR20 compare register) × x + 2)/fCLK

(value set in CR20) × x/fCLK

where, CR20 ≤ CR21
• Duty factor = (PPG pulse width)/(PPG period) = ((value set in CR20) × x + 2)/(((value set in CR21) + 1) × x)
set in CR20)/((value set in CR21) + 1)

(value

Caution In PPG output, the actual pulse width is longer than a value obtained with the approximate expression by two clock pulses of
fCLK for the active level, and is shorter than such an approximate value by two clock pulses of fCLK for the inactive level. Take
this point into consideration when high-precision output is required, the PPG pulse period is short, or a high-speed count clock
is used.

Cautions 1. If a value less than the value of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) is written into the CR20 compare register before the value of CR20 coincides
with the value of TM2, a PPG signal with a 100% duty factor is output in that period. Rewrite CR20, if required, by using an
interrupt generated by a coincidence between TM2 and CR20.

2. If the current value of the CR21 compare register is decreased below the value of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2), the PPG period becomes
as long as the full-count time of TM2. At this time, if CR21 is rewritten after the value of the CR20 compare register coincides
with the value of TM2, the inactive level is output until TM2 overflows to 0, then normal PPG output is resumed. If CR21 is
rewritten before the value of CR20 coincides with the value of TM2, the active level is output until the value of CR20 coincides
with the value of TM2. When the value of CR20 coincides with the value of TM2 before TM2 overflows to 0, the inactive level
is output at that time. When TM2 overflows to 0, the active level is output, and normal PPG output is resumed. Rewrite CR21,
if required, by using an interrupt generated by a coincidence between TM2 and CR21.

otherwise, TO2 remains active.

Remark ALV2 = 1
3. If the PPG period is too short for interrupt acceptance, the measures described in Cautions 1 and 2 above do not lead to solution.
Consider other measures (such as masking all interrupts and polling interrupt request flags by software).
4. If timer output is disabled (ENTOn = 0: n = 2, 3), the output level on the TOn (n = 2, 3) is the inverted value of the value set in
ALVn (n = 2, 3). Accordingly, note that if timer output is disabled when the PPG output function is selected, the active level is
output.

7.3.11 Sample Applications
(1) Interval timer operation (1)
By free running 8-bit timer 2 (TM2), and adding a value to a compare register (CR20, CR21) in an interrupt
handling routine, 8-bit timer/counter 2 can be used as an interval timer whose period is as long as the added
value. (See Fig. 7-96.)
In addition, 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) has two compare registers, so that interval timers with two types of periods
can be produced.

(3) Pulse width measurement operation
In pulse width measurement, the width of the high level or low level of an external pulse signal applied to the
INTP1 pin is measured.
A pulse signal applied to the INTP1 pin must have a pulse width of 12 system clock pulses (2 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz)
or more for both the high level and the low level. If the pulse width is less than this value, no valid edge can
be detected, thus resulting in a failure to perform capture operation.
As shown in Fig. 7-103, the value of 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) in count operation is loaded and held in the CR22
capture register on a valid edge (either a rising edge or falling edge) of a signal applied to the INTP1 pin. The
pulse width of the input signal is found by multiplying the count clock by the difference between the TM2 count
value (Dn) loaded and held in the CR22 register on the n-th valid edge detected and the TM2 count value (Dn1) loaded and held in the CR22 register on the (n – 1)-th valid edge detected.
Fig. 7-104 shows the setting of control registers, and Fig. 7-105 shows the setting procedure.

(4) PWM output operation
In PWM output operation, a pulse signal with a duty factor determined by the value set in a compare register
is output. (See Fig. 7-107.)
The duty factor of a PWM output signal can be changed in steps of 1/256 from 1/256 to 255/256.
In addition, 8-bit timer 2 (TM2) has two compare registers, so that two types of PWM signals can be output.
Fig. 7-108 shows the setting of control registers. Fig. 7-109 shows the setting procedure. Fig. 7-110 shows

TM3 is a timer for counting up with the count clock specified by the lower 4 bits of prescaler mode register
0 (PRM0).
TM3 allows only read operation using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. The count operation of TM3 can be
enabled or disabled by timer control register 0 (TMC0).
When the RESET signal is applied, TM3 is cleared to 00H, and count operation stops.
(2) Compare registers (CR30)
The CR30 register is an 8-bit registers for holding a value that determines the period of interval timer
operation.
When the value of the CR30 register coincides with the value of TM3, the value of TM3 is automatically cleared,
and an interrupt request (INTC30) is generated.
The CR30 register allows both read and write operations using an 8-bit manipulation instruction. When the
RESET signal is applied, the CR30 register becomes undefined.
(3) Prescaler
The prescaler generates count clocks from the internal system clock. From these count clocks generated by
the prescaler, a count clock is selected with the selector for the timer to perform count operation.

7.4.4 Operation of 8-Bit Timer 3 (TM3)
(1) Basic operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 3 performs count operation by counting up with the count clock specified by the higher
4 bits of prescaler mode register 0 (PRM0).
When the RESET signal is applied, TM3 is cleared to 00H, and count operation stops.
Bit 7 (CE3) of timer control register 0 (TMC0) is used to enable/disable count operation. (The higher 4 bits of
the TMC0 register are used to control the operation of 8-bit timer/counter 3.) When the CE3 bit is set to 1 by
software, TM3 is cleared to 00H by the first count clock pulse, then count-up operation starts. When the CE3
bit is reset to 0, TM3 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse, then coincide with signal generation stops.
If the CE3 bit is set to 1 when the CE3 bit is already set to 1, TM3 is not cleared, but continues count operation.

(2) Clear operation
After a coincidence with the CR30 compare register, 8-bit timer 3 (TM3) can be automatically cleared.
If a TM3 clear cause occurs, TM3 is cleared to 00H by the next count clock pulse. This means that even if a
TM3 clear cause occurs, TM3 holds the value existing at that time until the next count clock pulse is applied.

TM3 can also be cleared by software when the CE3 bit of the timer control register (TMC0) is reset to 0.
Similarly, clear operation is performed by the count clock pulse following the resetting of CE3 bit to 0. If the
CE3 bit is set to 1 before TM3 is reset to 0 by the resetting of the CE3 bit to 0 (that is, before the first count clock
pulse is applied after the CE3 bit is reset to 0), two operations are simultaneously performed: one operation
is an operation to clear TM3 to 0, and the other operation is a count operation starting with the counting of
0.

7.4.5 Compare Register Operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 3 performs a compare operation to compare the value set in the compare register with a
timer count value.
When the value set in the compare register (CR30) coincides with a count value of 8-bit timer 3 (TM3), the interrupt
request (INTC30) is generated.
After the value of the CR30 register coincides with a count value of TM3, the value of TM3 is automatically cleared.
Thus, 8-bit timer/counter 3 can operate as an interval timer for repeatedly counting up to the value set in the CR30
register.

7.4.6 Sample Applications
(1) Interval timer operation
Eight-bit timer/counter 3 can be used as an interval timer that generates an interrupt at intervals of a count
time specified beforehand. Eight-bit timer/counter 3 can also be used for baud rate generation.
This interval timer has a resolution from 1.3 µs to 85.3 µs, and can count up to 341 µs and 21.8 ms, respectively
(at internal system clock fCLK = 6 MHz).
Fig. 7-129 shows the timing of interval timer operation. Fig. 7-130 shows the setting of control registers for
interval timer operation. Fig. 7-131 shows the setting procedure.

7.5 NOTES
7.5.1 Common Notes on All Timers/Counters
(1) When the registers listed below are rewritten while a counter is operating (with the CEm bit of register TMCn
is set), the counter can malfunction. The cause of such a malfunction is that when a hardware function change
made by the rewriting of a register conflicts with a state change of the function before the rewriting, which
change is to have priority is undefined.
Before rewriting these registers, be sure to stop counter operation for safety.
• Prescaler mode register (PRMn)
• Capture/compare control register (CRCn)
• Timer output control register (TOC)
• CMD2 bit of timer control register 1 (TMC1)

212

Chapter 7 Timer/Counter Units

(2) The OVFm flag for holding an overflow from a timer/counter is contained in register TMCn used to control the
operation of the timer/counter. When a read/modify/write instruction (such as AND TMCn,#7FH) is executed,
for example, the OVFm flag may be cleared. (Even if the OVFm flag is 0 when the OVFm flag is read by the
CPU, the OVFm flag may already be set to 1 by a timer/counter overflow when the OVFm flag is rewritten to
by the CPU. However, the OVFm flag was 0 when being read by the CPU, so that the OVFm flag is cleared to
0.)
To prevent the OVFm flag of a timer/counter controlled by register TMCn from being cleared, use the method
below.
1. Read the TMm register of the timer/counter using the OVFm flag.
2. After a timer/counter operation, read the TMm register again.
3. Make a comparison between two read values. Set the OVFm flag if the value read later is smaller than
the value read first.
When this method is used, the OVFm flag must not be manipulated. In addition, the time between the first
TMm read operation and the next TMm read operation must be shorter than the full-count time of TMm.
Example: To prevent the OVF1 flag of timer/counter 1 from being cleared

MOV A,TM1
MOV TMC1,#xxx01000B

; xxx depends on the manipulation of timer/counter 2.

CMP

A,TM1

; Checks the timer value.

NEXT:
(3) If the value of a compare register coincides with the value of a timer register when an instruction for stopping
timer operation is executed, the count operation of the timer stops, but an interrupt request is generated.
To prevent an interrupt request from being generated when timer operation is stopped, mask the interrupt
by using the mask register before stopping the timer.

(4) After an operation for starting a timer/counter is performed (CEn ← 1: n = 0 to 3), a maximum of 1 count clock
pulse is required until the timer/counter actually starts. (See Fig. 7-132.)

When a timer/counter is used as an interval timer, for example, the first interval is longer by a maximum of
1 clock pulse. After the first interval, the specified interval occurs.

(7) While an instruction for writing to compare register CRnm (n = 0 to 3, m = 0, 1) is being executed, no
coincidence is detected between the CRnm register being written to and TMn (n = 0 to 3). For example, if the
value of the CRnm register remains unchanged after the CRnm is written to, no interrupt request is generated,
and timer output (TOn: n = 0 to 3) does not change even when the value of TMn coincides with the value of
the CRnm register.
While a timer/counter is performing count operation, CRnm register write operation must be performed when
the value of TMn does not coincide with the value of the CRnm register before or after CRnm register write
operation. (CRnm register write operation must be performed, for example, immediately after an interrupt
request is generated by a coincidence between TMn and CRnm.)
(8) A coincidence between TMn and CRnm is detected only when TMn is incremented. This means that no
interrupt request is generated, and no timer output change is made even if the same value as of TMn is written
to CRnm.

(9) When PWM is used, a PWM signal with a 100% duty factor is output if a value less than the value of TMn (n
= 0, 2) is set in compare register CRnm (n = 0, 2, m = 0, 1). CRnm rewrite operation must be performed using
an interrupt generated by a coincidence between TMn and CRnm to be rewritten.

(10)Notes on compare register rewrite operation when PPG output is used
(a) If a value less than the value of TMn is written into compare register CRn0 (n = 0, 2) before the value of
the CRn0 register coincides with the value of TMn (n = 0, 2), a PPG signal with a 100% duty factor is output
in that period. CRn0 rewrite operation must be performed using an interrupt generated by a coincidence
between TMn and CRn0.

Remark ALVp = 0

(b) If the current value of the CRn1 compare register is decreased below the value of TMn, the PPG period
becomes as long as the full-count time of TM2. At this time, if CRn1 is rewritten after the value of the
CRn0 compare register coincides with the value of TMn, the inactive level is output until TMn overflows
to 0, then normal PPG output is resumed. If CRn1 is rewritten before the value of CRn0 coincides with the
value of TMn, the active level is output until the value of CRn0 coincides with the value of TMn. When the
value of CRn0 coincides with the value of TMn before TMn overflows to 0, the inactive level is output at
that time. When TMn overflows to 0, the active level is output, and normal PPG output is resumed.
CRn1 rewrite operation must be performed using an interrupt generated by a coincidence between TMn
and CRn1.

(c) If the PPG period is too short for interrupt acceptance, the measures described in (a) and (b) above do not
lead to solution. Consider other measures (such as masking all interrupts and polling interrupt request
flags by software).
★

(11) In PWM output, the actual pulse width is longer than a value obtained with the approximate expression by
two clock pulses of fCLK for the active level, and is shorter than such an approximate value by two clock pulses
of fCLK for the inactive level. Take this point into consideration when high-precision output is required or a
high-speed count clock is used. For details, see Section 7.1.7 and Section 7.3.9.
(12) If timer output is disabled (ENTOn = 0: n = 0, 1, or 2, 3), the output level on the TOn (n = 0, 1, or 2, 3) is the inverted
value of the value set in ALVn (n = 0, 1, or 2, 3). Accordingly, note that if timer output is disabled when the
PWM output function or PPG output function is selected, the active level is output.

(14) With an in-circuit emulator, digital noise cannot be removed correctly. When a timer/counter is used together
with edge detection function, note the point below.
(a) When IE-78210-R is used
Operations are performed on an erroneously detected edge.
(b) When other in-circuit emulators are used
• Timer/counter capture operation and clear operation
An erroneously detected edge has no effect. Accordingly, even if an interrupt is generated by an
erroneously detected edge, the capture value is not updated. Particularly, note that the value of CR22
after being read is undefined.
• Timer/counter compare operation
If a mode is set which performs a clear operation after a capture operation, an erroneously detected
edge changes the timing of coincidence-based interrupt generation. As the result, an interrupt is
repeatedly generated at a time when the value of the timer/counter does not coincide with the value
of the compare register. Normal coincidence-based interrupt generation is resumed when a normal
edge is applied or the timer/counter is stopped. Timer output is not affected by an erroneously detected
edge, but is performed with the normal timing.

7

For details of erroneous edge detection, see Section 11.4.
When using an in-circuit emulator, see also Section 7.5.4.
★

7.5.2 Notes on 16-Bit Timer/Counter
Before compare operation can be performed with the 16-bit timer/counter, an appropriate value must be written
into a compare register to be used.

7.5.3 Notes on 8-Bit Timer/Counter 2
(1) When 8-bit timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter, the increment of TM2 lags the input of a valid
edge to the CI pin by a maximum of 28 system clock pulses (4.67 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz). This means that TM2 may
not be incremented when read immediately after an edge is detected. In addition, the generation of an
interrupt request by a coincidence with a compare register (CR20, CR21) lags the input of an edge. Take this
point into consideration when fine timing control is required.

(2) When 8-bit timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter, TM2 alone cannot distinguish between the
state where no valid edge is applied and the state where only one valid edge has been applied. (See Fig. 7139.) In either case, the value of TM2 is 0. When the states need to be distinguished from each other, use the
INTP2 interrupt request flag. (The same pin is used as the INTP2 pin as well as the CI pin, so that the functions
can be used at the same time.) Fig. 7-140 shows an example of distinction.

(3) With an in-circuit emulator, digital noise cannot be removed correctly. When the timer/counter is used
together with edge detection function, note the point below.
• When IE-78210-R is used
All functions are performed on an erroneously detected edge.
• When other in-circuit emulators are used
When 8-bit timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter, an erroneously detected edge changes the
timing of coincidence-based interrupt generation. As the result, an interrupt is repeatedly generated at a
time when the value of the timer/counter does not coincide with the value of the compare register.
Normal coincidence-based interrupt generation is resumed when the timer/counter is stopped.
Timer output is not affected by an erroneously detected edge, but is performed with the normal timing.
For details of erroneous edge detection, see Section 11.4.
When using an in-circuit emulator, see also Section 7.5.4.
(4) The value of the CR22 register, after being read, becomes undefined. A captured value can be used more than
once by saving the captured value to a register or memory.

7.5.4 Notes on Using In-Circuit Emulators
When an in-circuit emulator is used, noise removal operation for INTP0, INTP1, INTP2/CI, and INTP3 may not be
performed normally, thus resulting in noise detected erroneously as an edge. For details of erroneous edge
detection, see Section 11.4. How a timer/counter operates with an erroneously detected edge is described below.
(1) When IE-78210-R is used
All timer/counter-related operations are performed on erroneously detected edges in the same way as on
normal edges.
(2) When other in-circuit emulators are used
(a) Capture operation
Capture operation is not performed on an erroneously detected edge. However, an interrupt is generated
on an erroneously detected edge. The value of a capture register read during interrupt handling
performed on an erroneously detected edge is as follows:
• For CR02 and CR11
Value captured on the immediately preceding normal edge
• For CR22
Undefined value
(b) Clear operation after capture operation (with only 8-bit timer/counter 1 and 8-bit timer/counter 2)
Clear operation is not performed on an erroneously detected edge. After erroneous edge detection,
however, an interrupt request to be generated when the value of the timer/counter coincides with the
value of a compare register is generated with the timing not based on the values of the timer/counter and
compare register. This interrupt generation timing is the timing assuming that the timer/counter is
cleared. (See Fig. 7-141.)
When a coincidence between the value of 8-bit timer/counter 1 and the value of a compare register is used
as an output trigger for a real-time output port, such a deviated timing is used as an output trigger for the
real-time output port.
The timer output function of 8-bit timer/counter 2 is not affected by an erroneously detected edge, but
operates with the correct timing. Such an interrupt generation timing deviation as described above can
be corrected by the following operations:
• Clear operation on a normal edge
• Clearing bit CEn (n = 1, 2) for the 8-bit timer/counter in timer control register 1 (TMC1) to 0

(c) Event counter function (with only 8-bit timer/counter 2)
An erroneously detected edge causes no change in the value of the timer/counter. However, the timing
for generating an interrupt by a coincidence between the value of the timer/counter and the value of a
compare register becomes faster by the number of edges detected erroneously.
The timer output function is not affected by an erroneously detected edge, but operates with the correct
timing.
Such an interrupt generation timing deviation as described above can be corrected by the following
operations:
• Clear operation on a normal edge when the clear function following capture operation is used
• Clearing the CE2 bit of timer control register 1 (TMC1) to 0

CHAPTER 8 A/D CONVERTER
The µPD78214 contains an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter with eight multiplexed analog input pins (AN0 through
AN7).
This A/D converter uses successive approximation The conversion result is stored in an 8-bit A/D conversion result
register (ADCR). Conversion can be performed at high speed (with conversion time of 30 µs and at fCLK = 6 MHz)
and with high accuracy.
The A/D converter can be started in the following two modes:
Hardware start: Conversion starts on a trigger input (INTP5).
° Software
Conversion starts as specified in the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
°Once started,start:
the A/D converter operates in either of the following modes:
Scan mode: Analog inputs are sequentially selected for A/D conversion from all the input pins.
° Select
Only one input pin is used. Analog signals are successively input from this pin to the converter.
°These startmode:
and operating modes are specified by the ADM register. The ADM register is also used to stop
conversion.
When the conversion result is sent to the ADCR register, an interrupt request (INTAD) is generated (except in the
select mode started by software). Therefore, the conversion result can be successively sent to the memory by
using a macro service.

2. Do not apply a voltage out of the rated voltage range (AVSS through AVREF) to the A/D converter input pins. See Section 8.6
for details.

(1) Input circuit
The input circuit selects an input analog signal as specified by the A/D converter mode register (ADM) and
sends the signal to the sample and hold circuit in accordance with a specified operating mode.
(2) Sample and hold circuit
The sample and hold circuit samples each of the analog signals successively sent from the input circuit and
retains the analog signals during A/D conversion.
(3) Voltage comparator
The voltage comparator compares the potential differences between the analog inputs and the voltage taps
of the serial resistor string.
(4) Series resistor string
The series resistor string generates a voltage that matches the input analog signal voltage.
The series resistor string is connected between the reference voltage pin (AVREF) and the GND pin (AVSS) of
the A/D converter. It consists of 255 resistors, each having equal resistance, and two resistors, each having
half the resistance of the other 255 resistors. This configuration enables the voltage between the AVREF and
AVSS pins to be divided into 256 steps.
A voltage tap of the resistor string is selected by a tap selector, which is controlled by the SAR register.
(5) Successive approximation register (SAR)
When the voltage at one of the voltage taps of the serial resistor string matches the analog input voltage, this
8-bit register is set with the corresponding data on a bit-by-bit basis, starting at the most significant bit (MSB).
When the SAR is set up to the least significant bit (LSB), the SAR contents (conversion result) are sent to the
A/D conversion result register (ADCR) and held there.
(6) A/D conversion result register (ADCR)
This 8-bit register holds the A/D conversion result. Each time A/D conversion ends, this register is loaded with
the conversion result received from the SAR.
When the RESET signal is input, the contents of the register become undefined.

227

µPD78214 Sub-Series

(7) Edge detector
The edge detector detects the valid edge of an input at the interrupt request input pin (INTP5) and generates
an external interrupt request signal (INTP5) and an external trigger for A/D conversion.
The valid edge of an input at the INTP5 pin is specified by external interrupt mode register 1 (INTM1) (see Fig.
11-2). The external trigger is enabled or disabled by the ADM register (see Section 8.2).

8.2 A/D CONVERTER MODE REGISTER (ADM)
This 8-bit register controls A/D converter operations.
A bit manipulation instruction or an 8-bit manipulation instruction can be used to read data from or write data to
this register. Fig. 8-3 shows the ADM format.
Bit 0 (MS) of the ADM register controls the A/D converter operating mode.
Bits 1, 2, and 3 (ANI0, ANI1, and ANI2) select analog input signals to be converted to digital form.
Bit 6 (TRG) is used to enable external synchronization for A/D conversion. When the TRG bit is set to 1, if the CS
bit is already 1, the conversion is initialized each time a valid edge arrives at the INTP5 pin as an external trigger.
When the TRG bits is reset to 0, conversion is carried out regardless of the state of the INTP5 pin.
Bit 7 (CS) controls A/D conversion. When this bit is set to 1, the A/D converter starts operating. When the CS bit
is reset to 0, the converter stops, even if it is in the middle of conversion. At this point, however, the ADCR register
contents are not updated, nor does an INTPAD interrupt occurs. Power supply to the voltage comparator is
stopped to reduce supply current to the A/D converter.
When the RESET signal is input, the ADM register is reset to 00H.
Caution When using the STOP mode, reset the CS bit to 0 beforehand to reduce supply current. If the CS bit remains set to 1, conversion
do stops when the STOP mode is selected, but power supply to the voltage comparator is not stopped. Consequently, the supply
current to the A/D converter does not decrease.

8.3 OPERATION
8.3.1 Basic A/D Converter Operation
(1) A/D conversion sequence
The A/D converter operates as follows:
(a) The input selector selects one of the analog input pins (AN0 through AN7) according to the mode of
operation specified in the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
(b) The sample and hold circuit samples the voltage at the analog input pin selected by the input selector.
(c) After a certain sampling period, the sample and hold circuit goes on hold and retains the input analog
voltage until A/D conversion ends.
(d) When bit 7 of the SAR register is set, the tap selector sets the voltage tap of the serial resistor string to
(255/512)AVREF ( (1/2)AVREF).
(e) The voltage comparator compares the voltage at the serial resistor string with an input analog signal
voltage. If the analog input signal voltage is greater than (1/2)AVREF, the MSB of the SAR register remains
set. If it is less than (1/2)AVREF, the MSB is reset.
(f) Bit 6 of the SAR register is set to 1 automatically, and the voltage comparator starts comparing the next
analog input signal voltage. A voltage tap of the serial resistor string is selected as follows, according to
the state of bit 7, which has already been set according to the result.
• Bit 7 = 1 ... (383/512)AV
(3/4)AV
REF

REF

• Bit 7 = 0 ... (127/512)AVREF

(1/4)AVREF

The voltage at this tap is compared with the input analog voltage. According to the comparison result,
bit 6 of the SAR register is set or reset as follows:
• Analog input voltage ≥ voltage tap voltage: Bit 6 = 1
• Analog input voltage < voltage tap voltage: Bit 6 = 0
(g) These comparisons are carried out successively until the least significant bit (bit 0) of the SAR register is
compared (binary search method).
(h) When all the 8 bits of the SAR register have been compared, a valid digital number is left in the SAR
register. This digital number is sent to and latched in the ADCR register.
At the same time, an A/D conversion end interrupt (INTAD) can be generated (except in software-started
select mode). This INTAD interrupt should be handled as either a vectored interrupt or by a macro service
(described later).

A/D conversion continues until the CS bit is reset by software.
If data is written to the ADM register during conversion, conversion is initialized. If the CS bit is 1,
conversion is started from the beginning.
When the RESET signal is input, the ADCR register contents become undefined.

(3) A/D conversion time
The time required for A/D conversion is determined by the system clock frequency (fCLK) and the FR bit of the
ADM register. To maintain A/D conversion accuracy above a certain level, it is necessary to set the FR bit as
listed in Table 8-2 according to the system clock frequency.
This A/D conversion time includes all the time required for one A/D conversion sequence and the sampling
time.
Table 8-2 shows the conversion time and sampling time.

8.3.2 Select Mode
Bits 1 through 3 (ANI0 through ANI2) of the ADM register specify one analog input pin. A/D conversion is repeated
for the specified pin. The resultant digital data is stored in the A/D conversion result register (ADCR).
If bit 6 (TRG) of the ADM register is set to enable an external trigger, an A/D conversion end interrupt request
(INTAD) is generated.

8.3.3 Scan Mode
In the scan mode, signals input from the analog input pins, specified by bits 1 through 3 (ANI0 through ANI2) of
the A/D converter mode register (ADM), are selected successively for conversion.
For example, when the ANI2 through ANI0 bits of the ADM register are 001, the AN0 and AN1 pins are scanned
repeatedly, starting at the ANI0 pin in the sequence: AN0 → AN1 → AN0 → AN1 →... In this mode, each time
conversion is completed, the conversion result is stored in the ADCR register, and an A/D conversion end interrupt
request (INTAD) is generated.

Cautions 1. When the result of A/D conversion is read by using a vectored interrupt during the scan mode, if the A/D conversion end
interrupt is kept pending for a prolonged time because of other interrupts being handled (at least 180 clocks if the FR bit is 0
or 120 clocks if the FR bit is 1), the conversion result cannot be accurately measured. To measure the conversion result
accurately, take the following measures:
• Keep the time required to handle other interrupts adequately shorter than the required A/D conversion time.
• Use the multiplexed interrupt mode so that the A/D conversion end interrupt can be accepted even when other interrupts
are being handled.
• Use a macro service to handle the A/D conversion end interrupt.
Note that the A/D conversion end interrupt may also be kept pending by the causes described in Section 12.3.5.
Of the measures described above, the macro service might be the simplest method for you application.

233

µPD78214 Sub-Series

2. If the ADM register is set after registers related to interrupts have been set during the scan mode, an unwanted interrupt may
occur, thus causing the storage location of the conversion result to appear to have shifted. To prevent this, take the actions
listed below in the stated order.
• Write to the ADM register.
• Reset the interrupt request flag (PIF5) to 0.
• Set the interrupt mask flag or interrupt service mode flag.

8.3.4 A/D Conversion Activated by Software Start
Software can start A/D conversion by writing such a value to the ADM register that the TRG bit is reset to 0 and
the CS bit is set to 1.
If such a value is written to the ADM register again during A/D conversion (the CS bit is 1) that the TRG is reset to
0 and the CS bit is set to 1, the ongoing A/D conversion sequence is stopped, and another A/D conversion sequence
(that matches the newly written value) is started immediately.
Once A/D conversion is started, the conversion sequence of the new data is started according to the mode of
operation specified in the ADM register immediately when the conversion sequence of the previous data is
completed. A/D conversion continues until a write instruction is executed for the ADM register.
If A/D conversion is started by software (the TRG bit is 0), an input to the INTP5 (pin P26) does not affect the
conversion.
(1) Select-mode A/D conversion
In the select mode, the analog signal, input to the pin selected by the ADM register, is converted to digital form.
When conversion is completed, the analog signal at the same pin is converted again. An interrupt request
(INTAD) does not occur when conversion is completed.

(2) Scan-mode A/D conversion
When triggered, conversion begins with the signal input to the AN0 pin. When the conversion sequence for
the AN0 pin is completed, the signal at the next analog input pin is converted. Each time a conversion
sequence is completed, an interrupt request (INTAD) is generated.

8.3.5 A/D Conversion Activated by Hardware Start
Hardware can start A/D conversion by setting both the TRG and CS bits of the ADM register to 1. When they are
set to 1, the A/D converter is ready to receive an external signal. A/D conversion begins when a valid edge arrives
at the INT5 pin (pin P26).
After A/D conversion is started, if another valid edge arrives at the INT5 pin, the current sequence of A/D conversion
is stopped, and another sequence of conversion is started from the beginning, in accordance with the current ADM
register contents.
If such a value that both the TRG and CS bits are set to 1 is written to the ADM register again during A/D conversion
(the CS bit is 1), the current conversion sequence (including a wait period for an external signal) is stopped. The
converter stands by, until a valid edge arrives at the INTP5 pin in the mode of A/D conversion specified by the
written value. When a valid edge arrives, conversion starts.
By using this function, A/D conversion can be synchronized with an external signal.
When one A/D conversion sequence is completed, another conversion sequence is started immediately in an
operating mode set in the ADM register (the converter does not wait for the input from the INTP5 pin). Conversion
continues until an instruction that writes to the ADM register is executed or until a valid edge arrives at the INTP5
pin.
Cautions 1. Eight to twelve system clocks are required from when a valid edge appears at the INTP5 pin until A/D conversion is actually
started. Take this delay into consideration when designing your application. See Chapter 11 for details on the edge detection
function.
2. When A/D conversion is already activated by hardware start (by a valid edge at the INTP5 pin), if another valid edge arrives at
the INTP5 pin, the A/D converter may malfunction. To be specific, the malfunction occurs if the valid edge arrives at the INTP5
pin when the previous conversion result is being stored in the A/D conversion result register (ADCR). In this case, an A/D
conversion end interrupt (INTAD) is generated. However, the value stored in the ADCR register is not the conversion result.
Instead, it is always 7FH (see Fig. 8-10).

In order to solve this problem, the A/D converter mode register (ADM) must be set again after the necessary A/D conversion
is hardware-started and completed. A similar problem occurs during in-circuit emulation.
3. Digital noise at the INTP6 pin cannot be eliminated normally with an in-circuit emulator. If it has been specified that A/D
conversion be hardware-started, A/D conversion may be started by an erroneously detected edge. See Section 11.4 for detail
on erroneous detection of an edge.

(1) Select-mode A/D conversion
The analog signal at the input pin, specified in the ADM register, is converted to digital form. When one
A/D conversion sequence is completed, the analog signal at the same input pin is converted again. Each time
a conversion sequence is completed, an interrupt request (INTAD) is generated.
If a valid edge arrives at the INTP5 pin during A/D conversion, the current conversion sequence is stopped,
and another conversion session is started.

8.4 INTERRUPT REQUEST FROM THE A/D CONVERTER
The A/D converter generates an A/D conversion end interrupt request (INTAD), each time a conversion sequence
is completed, except for the select mode.
The interrupt control flags are shared by the INTAD interrupt and the INTP5 external interrupt. Therefore, the
timing at which an interrupt request occurs varies depending on the mode of A/D conversion specified in the ADM
register, as listed in Table 8-3.
The INTAD interrupt is handled using the interrupt control register in the same manner as the INTP5 interrupt. See
Chapter 12 for details.

8.5 SETTING FOR USE OF AN6 AND AN7
When using AN6 or AN7, set up as follows:
(1) When using AN6
• Specify an internal weight (according to the MM and PW registers)
• Specify P66 as an input port (PM66 = 1)
• Do not use an internal pull-up resistor (PUO6 = 0)
(2) When using AN7
• Inhibit refresh (RFEN = 0)
• Specify P67 as an input port (PM67 = 1)
• Do not use an internal pull-up resistor (PUO6 = 0)

8.6 NOTES
(1) Range of voltages applied to analog input pints
When using the A/D converter input pins AN0 through AN7 (P66, P67, P70 through P75, observe the following
points. Otherwise, the µPD78214 may be damaged.
(a) Do not apply voltages out of the range of AVSS to AVREF to the pin subjected to A/D conversion.
(b) If the A/D converter is not in use (not operating), do not apply voltages out of the range of AVSS through
AVREF to the pin Note selected by the A/D converter mode register (ADM).
Especially after the RESET signal is input, observe the following points, because AN0 (P70) is selected
automatically.
(i) When you clamp the AVREF pin to the VSS level, also clamp the AN0 (P70) pin to the VSS level.
(ii) When you use the AN0 (P70) pin, clamp the AVREF to the VDD level or keep the input to the AN0 (P70)
pin below the potential at the AVREF pin.
Note

If the MS bit is 1, a pin selected by the ADM register is a pin subjected to A/D conversion. If the MS bit = 0, a pin selected
by the ADM register is the AN0 pin.

(2) About hardware-started A/D conversion
(a) Eight to twelve system clocks are required from when a valid edge appears at the INTP5 pin until A/D
conversion is actually started. Take this delay into consideration when designing your application. See
Chapter 11 for details of the edge detection function.
(b) Digital noise at the INTP6 pin cannot be eliminated normally with an in-circuit emulator. If it has been
specified that A/D conversion be hardware-started, A/D conversion may be started by an erroneously
detected edge. See Section 11.4 for detail of erroneous detection of an edge.
(3) Capacitors connected to analog input pins
To prevent malfunction due to noise, insert a capacitor between each analog input pins (AN0 through AN7)
and the AVSS pin and between the reference voltage input pin (AVREF) and the AVSS pin.

(4) When using the STOP mode, reset the CS bit to 0 beforehand to reduce supply current. If the CS bit remains
set to 1, conversion do stops when the STOP mode is selected, but power supply to the voltage comparator
is not stopped. Consequently, the supply current to the A/D converter does not decrease.
(5) When A/D conversion is already activated by hardware start (by a valid edge at the INTP5 pin), if another valid
edge arrives at the INTP5 pin, the A/D converter may malfunction. To be specific, a malfunction occurs if the
valid edge arrives at the INTP5 pin when the previous conversion result is being stored in the A/D conversion
result register (ADCR). In this case, an A/D conversion end interrupt (INTAD) is generated. However, the value
stored in the ADCR register is not the conversion result. Instead, it is always 7FH (see Fig. 8-14).

CHAPTER 9 ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL INTERFACE
The µPD78214 contains an asynchronous serial interface, UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter).
This interface transmits 1-byte data following a start bit and is capable of full-duplex transmission.
The µPD78214 also contains a baud rate generator for UART, which allows data to be transmitted at a wide baud
rate range.
In addition, a baud rate can also be specified by dividing the frequency of the clock input to the ASCK pin.
Moreover, 8-bit timer/counter 3 can be used to generate a baud rate.
When the baud rate generator for UART is used, the MIDI standard baud rate (31.25 kbps) can also be obtained.
The asynchronous serial interface operates independently of the clock-synchronized serial interface.

9.1 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the configuration of the asynchronous serial interface.
See Section 9.4 for details of the baud rate generator.

Chapter 9 Asynchronous Serial Interface

(1) Reception buffer (RXB)
The reception buffer holds the receive data. Each time the shift register receives 1 byte of data, it sends it to
this reception buffer.
If the data length is specified to be 7 bits, the receive data is sent to bits 0 through 6 of the RXB. The MSB of
the RXB is always kept as 0.
Only an 8-bit manipulation instruction can be used for the reception buffer, and its use is limited to read
operations. When the RESET signal is input, the contents of the RXB become undefined.
(2) Transmission shift register (TXS)
The transmission shift register holds the data to be transmitted. The data written to the TXS is transmitted
as serial data.
If the data length is specified to be 7, bits 0 through 6 of the data written to the TXS register are treated as the
transmit data. Writing data to the TXS register triggers transmission. Do not write to the TXS register when
transmission is in progress.
Only an 8-bit manipulation instruction can be used for the transmission shift register, and its use is limited
to write operations. When the RESET signal is input, the contents of the TXS become undefined.
(3) Shift register

9

The shift register converts the serial data input to the RxD pin into parallel data. When it receives 1 byte of
data, it sends it to the reception buffer.
The shift register cannot be manipulated directly from the CPU.
(4) Reception control parity check
Reception is controlled according to the contents of the asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM).
In addition, error checks such as parity error check are also performed during reception. If an error is detected,
a value corresponding to the error is set in the asynchronous serial interface status register (ASIS).
(5) Transmission control parity generation
Transmission is controlled by appending a start bit, parity bit, and one or two stop bits to the data written to
the TXS register according to the contents of the ASIM register.
(6) Selector
The selector selects a baud rate clock source.

9.2 ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL INTERFACE CONTROL REGISTER
(1) Asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM)
This 8-bit register specifies the asynchronous serial interface operations.
Either 8-bit manipulation instruction or a bit manipulation instruction can be used to read data from or write
data to this register. Fig. 9-2 shows the format of the asynchronous serial interface control register.
When the RESET signal is input, the ASIM register is set to 80H.

Cautions 1. The asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM) must not be modified during transmission. If the ASIM register is
modified during transmission, further transmission becomes impossible (inputting the RESET signal resumes normal
operation).
Software can determine whether transmission is in progress, using the transmission completion interrupt (INTST) or the
interrupt request flag (STIF), which is set by the INTST.
2. If the ASIM register is modified during reception, the current and next receive data may be damaged. When changing the mode,
disable reception beforehand.

(2) Asynchronous serial interface status register (ASIS)
The ASIS register is a collection of flags that describe reception errors. A flag is set to 1 when a reception error
occurs. It is reset to 0 by reading data from the reception buffer. When the next data is received, the overrun
error flag (OVE) is set to 1, and the other error flags are reset to 0 (if this new data also contains an error, the
error flag corresponding to that error is set to 1).
Both 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction can be used for the ASIS register, but
their use is limited to read operations.
When the RESET signal is input, the ASIS register is reset to 00H.

9.3 ASYNCHRONOUS SERIAL INTERFACE OPERATIONS
9.3.1 Data Format
Fig. 9-4 shows the format of the transmit/receive data. One data frame consists of a start bit, character bits, a parity
bit, and one or two stop bits.
The asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM) specifies the number of character and stop bits, and
whether to use a parity bit.

The serial transmission rate can range from 1.43 bps to 93.75 kbps according to the setting of the asynchronous
serial interface mode register and baud rate generator or timer/counter 3.
If an error occurs during reception of serial data, the error can be identified by reading the contents of the
asynchronous serial interface status register (ASIS).

9.3.2 Parity Types and Operations
The parity bit is used to detect a bit error in transmit/receive data. Usually, the same parity bit is used at both the
transmission and reception ends. When even or odd parity is used, a 1-bit (the odd number of bits) error can be
detected. When 0 parity or no parity is used, no error can be detected.
• Even parity
When the transmit data has an odd (or even) number of 1 bits, the parity bit is set to 1 (or 0), so that the number
of 1 bits in the data becomes even. When data is received, the number of 1 bits in it is counted, and if the number
of 1 bits is odd, a parity error is detected.
247

9

µPD78214 Sub-Series

• Odd parity
In contrast to even parity, the parity bit for odd parity is controlled so that the number of 1 bits in the transmit
data becomes odd. When data is received, the number of 1 bits in it is counted, and if the number of 1 bits is
even, a parity error is detected.
• 0 parity
When data is transmitted, the parity bit is reset to 0, regardless of what the transmit data is like. During reception,
the parity bit is not checked. Therefore, a parity error is not detected, regardless of whether the parity bit is 0
or 1.
• No parity
No parity bit is attached to the transmit data. The reception end assumes that there is no parity bit. Because
no parity bit is used, no parity error is detected.

9.3.3 Transmission
The asynchronous serial interface for the µPD78214 is always ready to transmit data. Writing transmit data to the
transmission shift register (TXS) triggers transmission. The start bit, parity bit, and stop bit(s) are attached
automatically.
When transmission is triggered, the transmission shift register (TXS) shifts out its contents. When the register
becomes empty, a transmission completion interrupt (INTST) occurs.
If no further transmission data is written to the transmission shift register (TXS), transmission breaks.

Cautions 1. When the RESET signal is input, the transmission shift register becomes empty, but no transmission completion interrupt
occurs. Transmission is triggered by writing the transmit data to the transmission shift register.
2. The asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM) must not be modified during transmission. If the ASIM register is
modified during transmission, further transmission becomes impossible (inputting the RESET signal resumes normal
operation).
Software can determine whether transmission is in progress, using the transmission completion interrupt (INTST) or the
interrupt request flag (STIF), which is set by the INTST.

Chapter 9 Asynchronous Serial Interface

9.3.4 Reception
When the RXE bit of the asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM) is set to 1, reception is enabled, and
the input to the RxD pin is sampled.
Sampling at the RxD pin is performed using the serial clock specified in the ASIM register.
When the input to the RxD pin becomes low, the 1/16 frequency division counter starts counting. When the counter
reaches eight counts, it outputs the start timing signal for data sampling. The RxD pin is sampled with this start
timing signal again. If the pin is found to be at low level, it is recognized as a start bit, then initializing the 1/16
frequency division counter and causing it to start counting again for data sampling. When a start bit, data bits,
parity bit, and a stop bit Note are detected, reception of one frame of data is completed.
When one frame of data is received, the receive data in the shift register is sent to the reception buffer (RXB),
eventually generating a reception completion interrupt (INTSR).
If an error occurs, the erroneous receive data is sent to the RXB and causes an INTSR to be generated.
Resetting the RXE bit to 0 immediately stops reception. In this case, the contents of the RXB or ASIS are not
affected, and neither INTSR nor INTSER is generated. Setting the RXE bit to 1 triggers sampling for a start bit.
★

Note Reception assumes there is only one stop bit, regardless of whether the SL bit of the ASIM register is 1.

Cautions 1. If the ASIM register is modified during reception, the current and next receive data may be damaged. When changing the mode,
disable reception beforehand.
2. Be sure to read the reception buffer (RXB) contents, even if a reception error occurs. Otherwise, an overrun error will occur when
the next data is received, and the error status will persist.

9.3.5 Reception Error
Three types of errors may occur during reception; parity error, framing error, and overrun error. If any one of these
errors occurs, the corresponding error flag in the asynchronous serial interface register (ASIS) is set, and a
reception error interrupt (INTSER) is generated. Table 9-1 lists causes of reception errors.
The type of the reception error can be identified by the reception error interrupt routine (INTSER), which reads and
checks the contents of the asynchronous serial interface register (ASIS). (See Fig. 9-3 and Fig. 9-7.)
The ASIS is reset to 0 by reading data from the reception buffer (RXB) or receiving the next data. (If the next data
again contains an error, the corresponding error flag will be set.)

Overrun error

Before the receive data is read out from the reception buffer, the next data is received.

Note Reception assumes that only one stop bit is used. Therefore, if the transmission end uses a two-stop bit format, and the second stop
bit is low when received, no reception error is detected; it is recognized as the start bit of the next data.

Remark With the µPD78214, no break signal can be detected by hardware. Because a break signal consists of two characters’ worth of low
level, software identifies it by detecting that a framing error has occurred twice consecutively where the receive data is 00H. Software
can differentiate the break signal from a sequence of two accidental framing errors. This is done by reading the level of the RxD pin
(by reading port 3 (P3) by setting bit 0 of the port 3 mode register to 1) and checking if it is 0.
Cautions 1. The ASIS register is reset to 0 when the reception buffer (RXB) is read-accessed or receives the next data. To identify the error,
be sure to check the ASIS before reading data from the RXB. If a macro service is used during reception, it is impossible to
identify the error; it is only possible to know an error has occurred (an INTSER has occurred or the reception error interrupt
request flag (SERIF) is set to 1). Make sure that this poses no problem for your application.
2. Be sure to read the reception buffer (RXB) contents, even if a reception error occurs. Otherwise, an overrun error will occur when
the next data is received, and the error status will persist.

(1) 4-bit counter
The 4-bit counter counts the internal system clock (fCLK). It generates a signal having the frequency selected
by the lower four bits of the baud rate generator control register (BRGC).
(2) Frequency divider
The frequency divider divides the signal input from the 4-bit counter or an external baud rate input (ASCK),
and allows the selector at the next stage to select the clock for the baud rate.
(3) Both-edge detector
The both-edge detector detects either edge of the signal input to the ASCK pin and generates a signal having
a frequency two times as high as the ASCK input clock frequency. See Chapter 11 for details of edge detection.

9.4.2 Baud Rate Generator Control Register (BRGC)
The BRGC register is an 8-bit register that holds the clock for baud rate generation controlled according to the
internal system clock (fCLK).
Only an 8-bit manipulation instruction can be used for this register, and its use is limited to write operations. Fig.
9-9 shows the format of the register.
When the RESET signal is input, the BRGC register is reset to 00H.
Caution When a BRGC register write instruction is executed, the 4-bit counter and the frequency divider are reset. If the BRGC register is
write-accessed during transmission, the baud rate being generated is disrupted, hampering normal communication. For this
reason, do not write to the BRGC register during transmission.

9.4.3 Operation of the Baud Rate Generator for UART
The baud rate generator for UART starts operating, when the CE bit of the baud rate generator control register
(BRGC) is set to 1. The baud rate clock to be generated is a signal obtained by dividing either the internal system
clock (fCLK) or the clock input from the external baud rate input (ASCK) pin.
Resetting the CE bit to 0 stops the operation of the baud rate generator.
When the CE is 1, if an attempt is made to set it to 1 again, the 4-bit counter and frequency divider for baud rate
generation are reset, then baud rate clock generation starts again.
Caution When a BRGC register write instruction is executed, the 4-bit counter and the frequency divider are reset. If the BRGC register is
write-accessed during transmission, the baud rate being generated is disrupted, hampering normal communication. For this
reason, do not write to the BRGC register during transmission.

(1) Generating the baud rate clock from the internal system clock (fCLK)
The internal system clock (fCLK) is divided by the 4-bit counter. The resultant signal is further divided by the
frequency divider to generate the baud rate clock.
The baud rate generated from the internal system clock (fCLK) is determined by the following formula:
(Baud rate) = fCLK/(k + 1) × 1/n × 1/16
where, fCLK : Internal system clock frequency
k

9

: Value set in the MDL3 to MDL0 bits of the BRGC register (k = 1 through 14; see Fig. 9-9.)

1/n : Frequency divider tap
16 : Serial data sampling rate
(2) Generating the baud rate clock from the ASCK input
Both edges of an input to the ASCK pin are detected to generate a clock having the frequency two times as
high as the frequency at the ASCK pin. The resultant clock is then divided at the frequency divider. This
function makes it possible to generate more than one baud rate from one external input clock.
The baud rate generated from the input to the ASCK pin is determined by the following formula:
(Baud rate) = fASCK × 2/n × 1/16
where, fASCK: ASCK input clock frequency
Note that the ASCK input cannot be higher than fCLK/24 (250 kHz for fCLK = 6 MHz).

9.6 NOTES
(1) The asynchronous serial interface mode register (ASIM) must not be modified during transmission. If the
ASIM register is modified during transmission, further transmission becomes impossible (inputting the
RESET signal resumes normal operation).
Software can determine whether transmission is in progress, using the transmission completion interrupt
(INTST) or the interrupt request flag (STIF), which is set by the INTST.
(2) When the RESET signal is input, the transmission shift register becomes empty, but no transmission
completion interrupt occurs. Transmission is triggered by writing the transmit data to the transmission shift
register.
(3) The ASIS register is reset to 0 when the reception buffer (RXB) is read-accessed or receives the next data. To
identify the error, be sure to check the ASIS before reading data from the RXB. If a macro service is used during
reception, it is impossible to identify the error; it is only possible to detect that an error has occurred (an
INTSER has occurs or the reception error interrupt request flag (SERIF) is set to 1). Make sure that this poses
no problem for your application.
(4) If the ASIM register is modified during reception, the current and next receive data may become undefined.
When changing the mode, disable reception beforehand.
(5) Be sure to read the reception buffer (RXB) contents, even if a reception error occurs. Otherwise, an overrun
error will occur when the next data is received, and the error status will persist.
(6) Do not write to the BRGC register during communication. If a write instruction is executed for the BRGC
register, the 4-bit counter and frequency divider are reset, and the baud rate clock generated is disturbed,
hampering normal communication.

CHAPTER 10 CLOCK SYNCHRONOUS SERIAL INTERFACE
10.1 FUNCTION
The clock synchronous serial interface of the µPD78214 is configured as shown in Fig. 10-1. The clock synchronous
serial interface supports the following two operation modes:
(1) Three-wire serial I/O mode (MSB first)
Three lines, serial clock (SCK) and serial bus lines (SO, SI), are used to transfer 8-bit data. This mode is suitable
for connecting a display controller or peripheral I/O device having a conventional clock synchronous serial
interface.
(2) Serial bus interface (SBI) mode (MSB first)
In this mode, the device can communicate with two or more devices via two lines, the serial clock (SCK) and
serial data bus line (SB0).
This mode conforms to the NEC serial bus format.
In SBI mode, an address for selecting a target device for serial communication, a command specifying the
operation of the target device, and actual data can be output on the serial data bus. This mode eliminates the
need for a handshaking line, which would otherwise be required to connect two or more devices through a
conventional clock synchronous serial interface. The input/output ports can thus used efficiently.

10.2 CONFIGURATION
This section describes the configuration of the clock synchronous serial interface.

Chapter 10 Clock Synchronous Serial Interface

(1) Shift register (SIO)
Converts 8-bit serial data into 8-bit parallel data and vice versa. The SIO is used for both transmission and
reception.
Data is shifted in (received) or shifted out (transmitted) from the MSB.
The actual transmission/reception is controlled by writing or reading the contents of the SIO.
The 8-bit manipulation instruction can read or write the contents of this register. The contents become
undefined when RESET is input.
(2) SO latch
Retains the output level of the SO/SB0 pin. In serial bus interface (SBI) mode, the software can directly control
the latch.
(3) Serial clock selector
Selects the serial clock to be used.
(4) Serial clock counter
Counts the number of serial clock pulses output or input during transmission or reception and checks whether
8-bit data is transmitted or received.
(5) Interrupt signal generator
Controls whether an interrupt request is generated when the serial clock counter counts eight serial clock
pulses. In three-wire serial I/O mode, an interrupt request is generated each time eight pulses are counted.
In SBI mode, an interrupt request is generated whenever the conditions are satisfied.
(6) Serial clock controller
Controls the supply of the serial clock to the shift register. If the internal clock is used, the controller also
controls the clock output to the SCK pin.
(7) Busy/acknowledge output circuit, bus release/command/acknowledge detector
Output and detect control signals in SBI mode. These circuits do not operate in three-wire serial I/O mode.

10.3.2 Serial Bus Interface Control Register (SBIC)
The SBIC register consists of bits that control the status of the serial bus, as well as bits that indicate the status
of the data input from the serial bus. This 8-bit register can be used only in SBI mode, not in three-wire serial
I/O mode.
The 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction manipulate the contents of the register. These
bits have different read/write attributes, listed in Table 10-1. When the contents are read, 0 is read from the writeonly bits. The format is shown in Fig. 10-3.
The register is set to 00H when RESET is input.
Detection flags ACKD, CMDD, and RELD are cleared when transmission and reception are inhibited (both CTXE
and CRXE are set to 0).

10.4 OPERATIONS IN THE THREE-WIRE SERIAL I/O MODE
In three-wire serial I/O mode, the device can communicate with a device having a conventional clock synchronous
serial interface.
Basically, communication is performed over three lines of serial clock (SCK), serial data output (SO) and serial data
input (SI). A handshaking line is required to connect the device to two or more devices.

10.4.1 Basic Operation Timing
In three-wire serial I/O mode, data is transmitted and received in units of eight bits. The data is transmitted and
received one bit at a time by means of the MSB-first method, in synchronization with the serial clock.
The transmission data is output in synchronization with the falling edge of SCK. The reception data is sampled
at the rising edge of SCK.
At the eighth rising edge of SCK, interrupt request INTCSI is issued.
If SCK is used as the internal clock, the output of SCK is stopped at the eighth rising edge of SCK. SCK is tied high
until transmission or reception of the subsequent data is started.
Fig. 10-5 shows the timing chart for three-wire serial I/O mode.

In three-wire serial I/O mode, the SO pin sends a CMOS push-pull output.
Remark When connecting the device to a device having two-wire serial I/O, connect a buffer to the SO pin as shown in Fig. 10-6. In the example
shown in Fig. 10-6, the buffer inverts the output level. Invert the data to be output and write the inverted data into the SIO. Do not
connect the built-in pull-up resistor to pin P33/SO.

If transmission and reception are time-shared, and if the µPD78214 can control the output level of the SIO pin of
a device containing two-wire serial I/O, the SI pin and SO pin can be connected directly. To do this, disable
transmission by other devices while the µPD78214 is transmitting data.

266

Chapter 10 Clock Synchronous Serial Interface

10.4.2 Operation When Only Transmission Is Permitted
Transmission is enabled when the CTXE bit of the clock synchronous serial interface mode register (CSIM) is set
(1). If the CTXE bit is set, writing the contents of the shift register (SIO) invokes the start of transmission.
If the CTXE bit is reset (0), the output from the SO pin goes to the high-impedance state.
(1) Selecting the internal clock as the serial clock
When transmission is started, the serial clock is output from the SCK pin. At the same time, data is sequentially
output from the SIO to the SO pin in synchronization with the falling edge of the serial clock. In synchronization
with the rising edge of the serial clock, the signal from the SI pin is shifted into the SIO.
It takes up to one cycle of the SCK clock to drive SCK low for the first time after transmission is started.
If transmission is inhibited (the CTXE bit is reset to 0) during transmission, the output of the SCK clock is
stopped and transmission is halted at the next rising edge of SCK. At this time, no interrupt request (INTCSI)
occurs. The output from the SO pin goes to the high-impedance state.
(2) Selecting the external clock as the serial clock
When transmission is started, data is sequentially output from the SIO to the SO pin in synchronization with
the falling edge of the serial clock input to the SCK pin, after the start of transmission. At the same time, the
signal from the SI pin is shifted into the SIO in synchronization with the rising edge of the input to the SCK
pin. If the serial clock is input to the SCK pin before transmission has been started, no shift occurs. The output
level of the SO pin does not change.
If transmission is inhibited (the CTXE bit is reset to 0) during transmission, the transmission is halted and any
subsequent SCK input is ignored. At this time, no interrupt request (INTCSI) occurs. The output from the SO
pin goes to the high-impedance state.

10.4.3 Operation When Only Reception Is Permitted
Reception is performed when the CRXE bit of the CSIM register is set (1). When the CRXE bit is changed from 0
to 1 or when the contents of the SIO are read, reception is started.
(1) Selecting the internal clock as the serial clock
When reception is started, the serial clock is output from the SCK pin. In synchronization with the rising edge
of the serial clock, data is sequentially sent from the SI pin to the SIO.
It takes up to one cycle of the SCK clock to drive SCK low for the first time, after the reception is started.
If reception is inhibited (the CRXE bit is reset to 0) during reception, the output of the SCK clock is stopped
and reception is halted at the next rising edge of SCK. At this time, no interrupt request (INTCSI) is issued.
The contents of the SIO become undefined.
(2) Selecting the external clock as the serial clock
When reception is started, data is sent sequentially from the SI pin to the SIO in synchronization with the rising
edge of the serial clock input to the SCK pin after the start of reception. If the serial clock is input to the SCK
pin before reception has been started, no shift occurs.
If reception is inhibited (the CRXE bit is reset to 0) during reception, the reception is halted and subsequent
SCK input is ignored. At this time, no interrupt request (INTCSI) is issued.

10.4.4 Operation When Both Transmission and Reception Are Permitted
Transmission and reception can be simultaneously performed when both the CTXE bit and CRXE bit of the CSIM
register are set (1) (transmission and reception). Transmission and reception are started when the CRXE bit is
changed from 0 to 1 or when the contents of the SIO are written.
When transmission and reception are started for the first time, the CRXE bit is changed from 0 to 1. Because
transmission and reception are started immediately, undefined data may be output. To prevent this, write the first
transmission data into the SIO while both transmission and reception are inhibited (the CTXE and CRXE bits are
both reset to 0), then permit transmission and reception.
If transmission and reception are inhibited (both CTXE and CRXE are set to 0), the output from the SO pin goes
to the high-impedance state.
267

µPD78214 Sub-Series

(1) Selecting the internal clock as the serial clock
When transmission and reception are started, the serial clock is output from the SCK pin. In synchronization
with the falling edge of the serial clock, data is sequentially output from the SIO to the SO pin. In
synchronization with the rising edge of the serial clock, data is sequentially shifted in from the SI pin to the
SIO.
It takes up to one cycle of the SCK clock to drive SCK low for the first time, after the transmission and reception
are started.
If either transmission or reception is inhibited during transmission and reception, only the inhibited operation
is halted. If transmission is inhibited, the output from the SO pin goes to the high-impedance state. If reception
is inhibited, the contents of the SIO register become undefined.
If transmission and reception are simultaneously inhibited, the output of the SCK clock is stopped and
transmission and reception are halted at the next rising edge of SCK. If this occurs, the contents of the SIO
become undefined. No interrupt request (INTCSI) is issued. The output from the SO pin goes to the highimpedance state.
(2) Selecting an external clock as the serial clock
When transmission and reception are started, data is sequentially output from the SIO to the SO pin in
synchronization with the falling edge of the serial clock input to the SCK pin, after the start of the transmission
and reception. In synchronization with the rising edge of the serial clock, data is sequentially shifted in from
the SI pin to the SIO. If the serial clock is input to the SCK pin before transmission and reception have been
started, shift into the SIO does not occur. The output level of the SO pin does not change.
If either transmission or reception is inhibited during transmission and reception, only the inhibited operation
is halted. If transmission is inhibited, the output from the SO pin goes to the high-impedance state. If reception
is inhibited, the contents of the SIO become undefined.
If transmission and reception are simultaneously inhibited, transmission and reception are halted and the
subsequent SCK input is ignored. If this occurs, the contents of the SIO become undefined. No interrupt
request (INTCSI) is issued. The output from the SO pin goes to the high-impedance state.

10.4.5 Action to Be Taken When the Serial Clock and Shift Become Asynchronous
If the external clock is selected as the serial clock, the serial clock and shift may become asynchronous because
of noise. If this occurs, inhibit both transmission and reception (reset the CTXE and CRXE bits to 0). This initializes
the serial clock counter. Then, the shift and serial clock are synchronized again at the first serial clock pulse input,
after either transmission or reception is permitted.

10.5 SBI MODE
SBI (serial bus interface) is a high-speed serial interface conforming to the NEC serial bus format.
SBI is a high-speed serial bus with a single master, consisting of a clock synchronous serial I/O and a bus
configuration function. In SBI mode, the device can communicate with two or more devices over two signal lines.
If the serial bus is configured with two or more microcomputers and peripheral ICs, the number of ports and lines
on the board can be reduced.
For details of the SBI functions, refer also to “Serial Bus Interface (SBI) User’s Manual (IEM-1303)”.

10.5.1 Features of SBI
Conventional serial I/O supports only data transfer. If the serial bus is configured with two or more devices, many
ports and lines are required for the chip select signal, the separation of commands from data, and judgment of
the busy state. If they are controlled by the software, an excessive load will be applied to the software.
If SBI is used, two signal lines, serial clock SCK and serial data bus line SB0, can form the serial bus. The number
of ports for the microcomputers and lines on the printed circuit board can thus be reduced.
The SBI functions are described below:
(1) Function to separate address, command, and data
This function separates serial data into an address, command, and data.
268

Chapter 10 Clock Synchronous Serial Interface

(2) Function to select a chip by its address
The master sends an address to select a slave chip.
(3) Wake-up function
Using the wake-up function (which can be set or released by software), a slave device can easily detect
whether it receives the address (chip select).
If the wake-up function is set, a serial reception interrupt (INTCSI) occurs only when the address is received.
While the master device is communicating with two or more devices, the CPUs of those slave devices which
are not selected can operate, independent of the serial communication.
(4) Acknowledge signal (ACK) control function
This function controls the acknowledge signal to check whether the serial data has been received.
(5) Busy signal (BUSY) control function
This function controls the busy signal that indicates that a slave device is busy.
Fig. 10-7 shows a sample serial bus configured with CPUs having a serial interface conforming to SBI and
peripheral ICs.
In SBI mode, serial data bus pin SB0 functions as an open-drain output pin. The serial data bus lines are wiredORed. The serial data bus line requires a pull-up resistor.

10.5.3 Detecting an Address Match
SBI communication is started when a slave device is selected according to the address sent by the master device.
The software detects whether the address of a slave device matches the sent address. In the wake-up state (WUP
set to 1), the slave device generates a serial transfer completion interrupt request only when it receives the address.
Upon detecting the address match, the software releases the wake-up state (sets WUP to 0) and prepares for the
reception of the subsequent command and data.

10.5.4 Control Registers in SBI Mode
(1) Clock synchronous serial interface mode register (CSIM)
This 8-bit register specifies a serial interface operation mode, serial clock, and wake-up function.
Fig. 10-10 shows the format of the CSIM register.
The 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction can read and write the contents of the
register.
The bits of the register have different read/write attributes.
The value of the CSIM register is set to 00H when RESET is input.

Serial data transferred via SBI can be divided into three groups: address, command, and data. Each frame of serial
data is formed as shown below:
(bus release signal) + (command signal) + 8-bit data + ACK + (BUSY)

The master device outputs the bus release signal and command signal. The slave device outputs BUSY. Either

The master device continues serial clock output during the period from the start of 8-bit data transfer to the release
of BUSY.

10.6.1 Bus Release Signal (REL)
The bus release signal is the SB0 line going from low to high while the SCK line is high (the serial clock is not

device communicates with the master device until the slave is disconnected from the master.

The 8-bit data following the command signal is defined as a command. The 8-bit data without the command signal
is defined as data. The use of the command and data can be determined according to the communication
specifications.

10.6.5 Acknowledge Signal (ACK)
The transmitting device and receiving device use the acknowledge signal to check whether the data is successfully
received.

The acknowledge signal is a one-shot pulse, synchronized with the falling edge of SCK after the 8-bit data is
transferred. The signal can be synchronized with the SCK clock pulse at a desired position.
After sending the 8-bit data, the transmitting device checks whether the receiving device returns the acknowledge
signal. If the receiving device does not return the acknowledge signal within a certain period after the data is sent,
the device has not successfully received the data.

10.6.6 Busy Signal (BUSY) and Ready Signal (READY)
The busy signal informs the master device that the slave device is preparing for data transmission or reception.
The ready signal informs the master device that the slave device is ready for data transmission or reception.

READY

In SBI mode, the slave device drives the SB0 line low to inform the master device that the slave is busy.
The busy signal is output after the acknowledge signal is output by the master or slave device. The busy signal
is set or released in synchronization with the falling edge of SCK. When the busy signal is released, the master
device automatically terminates the output of the SCK serial clock.
The master device can start the next transfer when the busy signal is released and the ready signal is set.

10.6.8 Communication
In SBI communication, the master device outputs an address on the serial bus and, usually, one target slave device
is selected out of two or more devices according to the address.
Once the target device has been determined, commands and data are transferred between the master device and
slave device to implement serial communication.
Figs. 10-27 to 10-30 show the timing charts for data communication.

10.6.9 Releasing the Busy State
The conditions governing the release of the busy state depend on whether transmission or reception is permitted.
They can be applied to high-speed transfer using the SBI macro service. Table 10-3 lists the methods of releasing
the BUSY state.

10.6.10 Setting Wake-Up
If WUP is set to 1 in the busy state, the wake-up state is set as soon as the device enters the ready state.
In the wake-up state, an interrupt (INTCSI) is issued only when an address is received. The acknowledge (ACK)
signal is not detected in this state.

10.6.11 Starting Transmission and Reception
Start transmission and reception in the same way as the busy state is released. Even if start of transmission and
reception is specified, transmission and reception are not started while the slave device is outputting the BUSY
signal. Transmission and reception are started when the busy state is released.

10.7 NOTES
(1) Do not change CTXE from 0 to 1 and CRXE from 1 to 0, or vice versa, by means of a single instruction. If this
is attempted, the serial clock counter will malfunction and the first communication after the change will be
terminated before the eighth bit is sent. To change these statuses, use two instructions as shown below:
Example Changing CTXE from 1 to 0 and CRXE from 0 to 1
CLR1 CTXE
SET1 CRXE

(2) When switching the master and slave, the input and output of the serial clock line (SCK) are asynchronously
switched between the master and slave. The serial clock line (SCK) requires a pull-up resistor.
(3) Do not set ACKT before the transfer has been completed.

CHAPTER 11 EDGE DETECTION FUNCTION
Pins P20 to P26 support an edge detection function to program a rising or falling edge. The detected edge is sent
to the internal hardware. Table 11-1 shows the relationship between pins P20 to P26, and the use of the detected
edge.

11.1 EXTERNAL INTERRUPT MODE REGISTERS (INTM0, INTM1)
The external interrupt mode registers (INTM0, INTM1) specify the valid edge to be detected on pins P20 to P26.
The INTM0 register specifies the valid edge for pins P20 to P23, while the INTM1 register specifies that for pins P24
to P26.
The INTM1 register can also switch the INTP4 interrupt and INTC30 interrupt (for details see Chapter 12). When
ASCK is input, both edges are detected, independent of the values of these registers.
The 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction can read and write the contents of the INTM0
and INTM1 registers. Figs. 11-1 and 11-2 show their formats.
When RESET is input, both these registers are set to 00H.

Caution Because noise elimination by analog delay is performed by pin P20, an edge is detected up to 10 µs after it is actually input. This
pin differs from pins P21 to P26 in that the delay depends on the characteristics of the device.

296

Chapter 11 Edge Detection Function

11.3 EDGE DETECTION ON PINS P21 TO P26
An edge on pins P21 to P26 is detected after digital noise elimination by means of clock sampling.
The digital noise elimination is performed by means of sampling with the fCLK/4 clock. The input signal is
eliminated as noise if an identical level is not obtained three or more times in a row (even if an identical level is
consecutively obtained twice). The input signal is detected as a valid edge only when its level remains identical
for three or more cycles of the fCLK/4 clock (2 µs: fCLK = 6 MHz).
Fig. 11-4 Edge Detection on Pins P21 to P26

fCLK/4
P21 to P26
after noise rejection

Rising edge

Falling edge

11

Digital noise is rejected at fCLK/4 clock.
Cautions

1. Because the fCLK/4 clock is used for digital noise elimination, it takes about 8 to 12 cycles of the fCLK clock to detect an edge
after the edge is actually input.
2. If the width of an input pulse corresponds to 8 to 12 cycles of the fCLK clock, it cannot be determined whether the pulse is
detected as a valid edge. To ensure the accurate detection of a pulse, hold the pulse at an identical level for 12 clock cycles
or longer.
3. If noise input to a pin is synchronized with the fCLK/4 clock of the µPD78214, it may not be judged as being noise. If input of
such noise is possible, add a filter to the input pin to eliminate the noise.
4. An in-circuit emulator cannot successfully eliminate digital noise. It may erroneously detect a falling edge due to noise during
the input of a low signal and a rising edge due to noise during the input of a high signal (see Fig. 11-5). When data is read from
port 2, noise is not eliminated, being read instead.

If the IE-78210-R is used, the real-time output port, timer/counter, and A/D converter operate according to the
erroneously detected edge. If another in-circuit emulator is used, these components operate as described below:
• Real-time output port : Operates according to the erroneously detected edge.
• A/D converter

: Operates according to the erroneously detected edge.

• Capture or clear operation of the timer/counter : Carried out independently of the erroneously detected
edge. Even if the erroneously detected edge causes an
interrupt, the capture value is not updated. The value of
CR22 becomes undefined after being read by the CPU.
• Compare operation of the timer/counter : If a mode for performing a clear operation after a capture operation
is selected, or if timer/counter 2 is used as an external event
counter, the erroneously detected edge causes the timing of
match interrupt generation to be changed. As a result, the timing
of match interrupt generation will disagree with that when the
values of the timer/counter and compare register match. If the
mode for performing a clear operation after a capture operation is
selected, the timing of match interrupt generation can be corrected by inputting a correct edge or by stopping the timer/
counter. If timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter,
the timing of the match interrupt generation can be corrected by
stopping the timer/counter. Timer output is not affected by the
erroneously detected edge and operates according to the correct
timing.

11.4 NOTES
(1) If an edge is input while a valid edge is changed, it cannot be determined whether the new edge is judged as
being a valid edge.
(2) Noise elimination by analog delay is carried out on pin P20. An edge is detected up to 10 µs after the edge
is actually input. Pin P20 differs from pins P21 to P26 in that the delay time depends on the characteristics of
the device.
(3) On pins P21 to P26, digital noise elimination is carried out with the fCLK/4 clock. It takes about 8 to 12 cycles
of the fCLK clock to detect an edge after it is actually input.
(4) If the width of a pulse input to pins P21 to P26 corresponds to 8 to 12 cycles of the fCLK clock, it cannot be
determined whether the pulse is detected as being a valid edge. To ensure the accurate detection of a pulse,
hold the pulse at an identical level for 12 clock cycles or longer.

298

Chapter 11 Edge Detection Function

(5) If noise input to pins P21 to P26 is synchronized with the fCLK/4 clock of the µPD78214, it may not be judged
as being noise. If the input of such noise is possible, add a filter to the input pin so that the noise can be
eliminated.
(6) An in-circuit emulator cannot successfully eliminate digital noise. It may erroneously detect a falling edge due
to noise during the input of a low signal and a rising edge due to the noise during the input of a high signal
(see Fig. 11-6). When data is read from port 2, noise is not eliminated, being read instead.

If the IE-78210-R is used, the real-time output port, timer/counter, and A/D converter operate according to the
erroneously detected edge. If another in-circuit emulator is used, these components operate as described below:
• Real-time output port : Operates according to the erroneously detected edge.
• A/D converter

: Operates according to the erroneously detected edge.

• Capture or clear operation of the timer/counter : Carried out independently of the erroneously detected edge.
Even if the erroneously detected edge causes an interrupt,
the capture value is not updated. The value of CR22
becomes undefined after it has been read by the CPU.

µPD78214 Sub-Series

• Compare operation of the timer/counter : If the mode for carrying out a clear operation after a capture
operation is selected, or if timer/counter 2 is used as an external
event counter, the erroneously detected edge causes the timing of
match interrupt generation to be changed. As a result, the timing
of match interrupt generation will disagree with that when the
values of the timer/counter and compare register match. If the
mode for performing a clear operation after a capture operation is
selected, the timing of match interrupt generation can be corrected
by inputting a correct edge or by stopping the timer/counter. If
timer/counter 2 is used as an external event counter, the timing of
match interrupt generation can be corrected by stopping the timer/
counter. The timer output is not affected by the erroneously
detected edge, operating according to the correct timing.

CHAPTER 12 INTERRUPT FUNCTIONS
The µPD78214 has the following two interrupt handling modes. Either mode can be selected by the program.
Interrupt handling by a macro service is limited to the interrupt request sources provided with a macro service

Remark The default priority is fixed by hardware. If two or more interrupts having the same priority occur simultaneously, they are handled
according to their default priority.

12.1.1 Software Interrupt Request
A software interrupt request is issued by the BRK instruction, which eventually causes a vectored interrupt.
Interrupt requests issued by the BRK instruction are accepted even in an interrupt disabled state. In this case,
interrupt priority control is not applied.
When the BRK instruction is executed, the vector table contents are unconditionally set in the PC to cause a branch.
By executing the BRK instruction in a BRK service routine, the service routine can nest itself.
To exit the BRK service routine, execute the RETB instruction.

302

Chapter 12 Interrupt Functions

12.1.2 Nonmaskable Interrupt Request
A nonmaskable interrupt request is input to the NMI pin. When a valid edge, specified by bit 0 (ESNMI) of external
interrupt mode register 0 (INTM0), is input to the NMI pin, an interrupt request is generated.
A nonmaskable interrupt request is accepted unconditionally, even in an interrupt disabled state. In this case,
interrupt priority control is not applied; the nonmaskable interrupt request takes precedence over all other
interrupts.

12.1.3 Maskable Interrupt Request
Maskable interrupt requests can be masked by setting the interrupt mask register (MK0). The IE flag in the PSW
can specify whether to enable or disable all the maskable interrupts simultaneously.
A default priority is assigned to each maskable interrupt request as shown in Table 12-2, so that, when two or more
interrupts having the same priority occur at the same time, which interrupt takes precedence is determined. The
interrupts can be divided into two groups by the priority specification flag register (PR0); a group of interrupts with
higher priority and a group of interrupts with lower priority, so that multiple-interrupt handling can be achieved.
However, the macro service is accepted independently of the priority control and the IE flag.

12.1.4 Selecting an Interrupt Source
Interrupts INTP4 and INTC30 cannot be used at the same time, because these interrupts share the same vector
table, interrupt request flags, and other control flags. Therefore, either INTP4 or INTC30 must be selected by
software. The same holds true of a pair of INTP5 and INTAD. A selected interrupt request source is given the right
to use the vector table, interrupt request flags (PIFn; n = 4 or 5), interrupt mask flags (PMKn; n = 4 or 5), interrupt
service mode flags (PISMn; n = 4 or 5), and priority specification flags (PPRn; n = 4 or 5) exclusively, thus generating
the corresponding interrupt and macro service. The other interrupt request sources cannot use these resources,
and therefore cannot generate an interrupt or macro service.
The other types of interrupts have a dedicated vector table and control flags, and therefore need not be selected.
(1) Selecting INTP4 or INTC30
Interrupt INTP4 or INTC30 is selected by the ES40 and ES41 bits of external mode register 1 (INTM1).
Both 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction can be used to read data from and write
data to the INTM1 register. The format of this register is shown in Fig. 12-1.
When the RESET signal is input, the register is reset to 00H, and INTP4 occurs on the falling edge at the INTP4
pin.

(2) Selecting INTP5 or INTAD
Interrupt INTP5 or INTAD is selected by the A/D converter mode register (ADM). (Either of these interrupts
is selected automatically, according to the mode of operation specified for the A/D converter.)
Both 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction can be used to read data from and write
data to the ADM register. The format of this register is shown in Fig. 12-2. See Chapter 8 for control of the
A/D converter.

12.2 INTERRUPT HANDLING CONTROL REGISTERS
The following six registers control interrupt handling.
• Interrupt request flag register (IF0)
• Interrupt mask register (MK0)
• Interrupt service mode register (ISM0)
• Priority specification flag register (PR0)
• Interrupt status register (IST)
• Program status word (PSW)
The IF0, MK0, ISM0, and PR0 are 16-bit read/write registers. The contents of these registers can be manipulated
in either 16- or 8-bit units. In addition, each bit of these registers can be set and reset by a bit manipulation
instruction independently of the other bits. The IST and PSW are 8-bit read/write registers, whose contents can
be manipulated in either 8- or 1-bit units. The IE flag in the PSW can be manipulated by a dedicated instruction.
Fig. 12-3 through 12-8 show the formats of these registers.
Table 12-3 lists the interrupt request flags, interrupt mask flags, interrupt service mode flags, and priority
specification flags corresponding to each interrupt request source.

12.2.1 Interrupt Request Flag Register (IF0)
The IF0 register is a 16-bit register consisting of interrupt request flags.
Each interrupt request flag is set to 1, when the corresponding interrupt request occurs. It is reset to 0, when a
vectored interrupt is accepted or macro service processing is performed.
When the RESET signal is input, this register is reset to 0000H.

12.2.2 Interrupt Mask Register (MK0)
The MK0 register is a 16-bit register consisting of interrupt mask flags. Each interrupt mask flag enables or disables
the corresponding interrupt request.
When the RESET signal is input, the register is set to FFFFH, thus disabling all maskable interrupts.
If an interrupt mask flag is set to 1, it inhibits acceptance of the corresponding interrupt request.
If an interrupt mask flag is reset to 0, it enables the corresponding interrupt request to be accepted as a vectored
interrupt or macro service.

12.2.3 Interrupt Service Mode Register (ISM0)
The ISM0 register is a 16-bit register consisting of interrupt service mode flags.
If an interrupt service mode flag is 0, the corresponding interrupt request is handled as a vectored interrupt. If it
is 1, the corresponding interrupt request is processed by a macro service. When a macro service request is
executed a specified number of times, the interrupt service mode flag is reset to 0.
When the RESET signal is input, the register is reset to 0000H, thereby specifying vectored interrupt handling.

12.2.4 Priority Specification Flag Register (PR0)
The PR0 register is a 16-bit register consisting of interrupt priority specification flags that determine priority with
which each interrupt is accepted. They are used to control multiple-interrupt handling.
There are two interrupt groups with respect to priority; one having higher priority and one having lower priority.
When a priority specification flag is 0, the corresponding interrupt request is specified to belong to the high-priority
group; when a priority specification flag is 1, the corresponding interrupt request is specified to belong to the
lower-priority group.
When an interrupt is accepted, the corresponding priority specification flag is sent to the ISP bit of the PSW.

306

Chapter 12 Interrupt Functions

When a low-priority vectored interrupt is being handled, vectored interrupt requests with lower and higher
priorities are accepted for multiple-interrupt handling provided that interrupts are enabled. When a high-priority
interrupt is being handled, high-priority vectored interrupts are accepted for multiple-interrupt handling provided
that interrupts are enabled. Moreover, any interrupt requests specifying a macro service are accepted regardless
of their priority.
When the RESET signal is input, this register is set to FFFFH, thereby specifying that all interrupts be in the lowpriority group.

12.2.5 Interrupt Status Register (IST)
The IST register is an 8-bit register that controls multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable interrupt requests
(input to the NMI pin) and indicates whether a nonmaskable interrupt request has been accepted.
When a nonmaskable interrupt is being handled, another nonmaskable interrupt request may occur. In such a
case, the nonmaskable interrupt request is accepted if the NMIS bit is 0; it is not accepted if the NMIS bit is 1.
The NMIS bit is set to 1 when a nonmaskable interrupt request is accepted. It is reset to 0, when a return (execution
of the RETI instruction) from the interrupt handling for the nonmaskable interrupt request occurs.
Both an 8-bit manipulation instruction and bit manipulation instruction can be used to read data from and write
data to the IST register. The NMIS flag is set to 1 when a nonmaskable interrupt is accepted. It is reset to 0 by the
RETI instruction. Fig. 12-7 shows the format of the IST register.
When the RESET signal is input, the register is reset to 00H.

12.2.6 Program Status Word (PSW)
The PSW is a register that holds the result of instruction execution and the current status of interrupt requests. The
register is mapped with the IE flag that specifies whether to enable maskable interrupts and the ISP flag to control
multiple-interrupt handling.
The PSW can be read and written to in 8-bit units. It can also be manipulated by a bit manipulation instruction and
dedicated instructions (EI and DI). When a vectored interrupt request is accepted, and the BRK instruction is
executed, the PSW is saved in the stack, and the IE flag is reset to 0. When a maskable interrupt request is accepted,
the priority specification flag for the corresponding interrupt is transferred to the ISP flag. When a nonmaskable
interrupt request is accepted, the ISP flag is reset to 0. Also when the PUSH PSW instruction is executed, the PSW
is saved in the stack. Executing the RETI, RETB, or POP PSW instruction restores the PSW from the stack.
When the RESET signal is input, the PSW is set to 02H.

12.3 INTERRUPT HANDLING
12.3.1 Accepting Software Interrupts
A software interrupt request is accepted by executing the BRK instruction. Software interrupts cannot be disabled.
When a software interrupt request is accepted, the PSW and PC are saved in the stack in the stated order, the IE
flag is reset to 0, and the PC is loaded with the contents of the vector table (at 003EH and 003FH) to cause a branch.
The RETB instruction is used to return from software interrupt handling.
Caution Do not use the RETI instruction to return from software interrupt handling.

12.3.2 Accepting Nonmaskable Interrupts
A nonmaskable interrupt request is accepted regardless of whether interrupts are enabled. It is not subjected to
priority control. Instead it has precedence over all other interrupt requests.
When a nonmaskable interrupt request is accepted, the NMIS bit of the interrupt status register (IST) is set to 1,
the PSW and PC are saved in the stack in the stated order, the IE and ISP flags are reset to 0, and the PC is loaded
with the contents of the vector table to cause a branch. When the RETI instruction is executed, the NMIS bit is reset
to 0.
If the NMIS bit is 1, a new nonmaskable interrupt request is not accepted. It is kept pending until the NMIS bit is
reset to 0. In other words, when a nonmaskable interrupt service program is running, a new nonmaskable interrupt
request is not accepted. If a new nonmaskable interrupt request occurs when a nonmaskable interrupt service
program is already running, it is accepted after the service program ends (an RETI instruction is executed). In this
case, if two nonmaskable interrupt requests occur, only one request is accepted after the current service program
ends.
308

Chapter 12 Interrupt Functions

Resetting the NMIS bit to 0 during execution of a nonmaskable interrupt service program enables multipleinterrupt handling for nonmaskable interrupt requests. If the NMIS bit is 0, a new nonmaskable interrupt request
is accepted even when a nonmaskable interrupt service program is running.

Although NMI request is issued
more than once, it is accepted
only once.

Cautions 1. A macro service request is accepted and processed even when a nonmaskable interrupt service program is running. To disable
macro service processing during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service program, cause the nonmaskable interrupt
service program to manipulate the mask register so that no macro service will not occur.
2. If the IE bit of the PSW is set to 1, for example, by executing the EI instruction in the nonmaskable interrupt service program,
maskable interrupt requests assigned high priority are made acceptable. If a maskable interrupt with high priority occurs during
execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service program, a service program for the maskable interrupt runs. If the IE and ISP
bits of the PSW are set to 1, interrupt requests with low priority will also occur, thus causing the interrupt service program to
run. An RETI instruction will be used to return from the maskable interrupt service program. The RETI instruction resets the
NMIS bit to 0, thus enabling nonmaskable interrupt requests even when multiple-interrupt handling should not be performed
for nonmaskable interrupts during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service program to which a return was just made.
To inhibit multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable interrupt requests, do not enable interrupts during execution of the
nonmaskable interrupt service program.

310

Chapter 12 Interrupt Functions

3. Nonmaskable interrupts are always accepted except during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt handling program (except
when multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable interrupts have been enabled by resetting the NMIS bit of the IST register
to 0 during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt handling program) and except a period between a special instruction
described in Section 12.3.5 and an instruction that follows that special instruction. Therefore, nonmaskable interrupts are
accepted, even if the contents of the stack pointer are undefined, for example, right after a reset occurs. At this point, the
contents of the PC and PSW may be transferred to addresses (see Table 3-4 in Section 3.2.5) where writing to any specialfunction register is inhibited, depending on the value in the stack pointer. If this occurs, the CPU may hang, unexpected signals
may be output from pins, or an attempt may be made to transfer the contents of the PC or PSW to a location where no RAM
has been installed, thereby making it impossible to return from the nonmaskable interrupt handling program to the main
routine, hence a program crash.
If a falling edge (valid edge of the NMI input after a reset) arrives at the NMI pin at much the same time when a rising edge is
supplied to the RESET pin, a branch occurs to the nonmaskable interrupt handling program without executing a single
instruction after a reset, resulting in a program crash almost with no exception. To avoid these problems, initialize the stack
pointer after a reset, and design the hardware so that the NMI signal does not drop within 10 µs + 20/fCLK after the RESET signal
rises.

★

12.3.3 Accepting Maskable Interrupts
A maskable interrupt is accepted when the corresponding interrupt request flag is set to 1, if the corresponding
interrupt mask flag is 0. When a macro service is used, the interrupt is accepted immediately when the interrupt
flag is set to 1. If it is a vectored interrupt, it is accepted when interrupts are enabled (when the IE flag is 1). However,
low-priority interrupts are not accepted if a high-priority interrupt is already being serviced (when the ISP flag is
0).
If two or more maskable interrupt requests occur simultaneously, they are accepted according to their priority (as
specified in the priority specification flag). If interrupt requests have the same priority, an interrupt request with
the highest default priority is accepted first.
A pending interrupt request is accepted when it is enabled.

12

Fig. 12-10 shows the algorithm for accepting interrupt requests.
When a maskable interrupt request is accepted, the contents of the PSW and PC are saved in the stack in the stated
order, the IE flag is reset to 0 (interrupt disabled state), the content of the priority specification flag corresponding
to the accepted interrupt request is transferred to the ISP. Moreover, the PC is loaded with the contents of the vector
table corresponding to the accepted interrupt request, thus causing a branch. The RETI instruction is used to return
from the interrupt.

12.3.4 Multiple-Interrupt Handling
The µPD78214 performs multiple-interrupt handling in which another interrupt request is accepted during one
interrupt is already being handled. Multiple-interrupt handling runs according to priority.
Priority control is based on either default priority or programmable priority specified in the priority specification
flag register (PR0). Priority control by default priority handles interrupt requests according to the default priority
assigned to each interrupt request (see Table 12-2). Priority control by programmable priority divides interrupt
requests into a high-priority group and a low-priority group according to the corresponding bit of the PR0 register.
Table 12-4 lists interrupt requests that can be subjected to multiple-interrupt handling.

Notes 1. Immediately after an interrupt is accepted, interrupts are disabled (IE = 0) automatically. To enable interrupts (IE = 1), execute the
EI instruction.
2. When a nonmaskable interrupt request is being accepted, bit 0 (NMIS) of the interrupt status register (IST) is 1.
When the NMIS bit is 1, nonmaskable interrupt requests are not accepted. To enable multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable
interrupt requests, reset the NMIS flag to 0 by software.
3. When the ISP flag is 1, low priority interrupt requests are accepted.

12.3.5 Interrupt Request and Macro Service Pending
When any of the following instructions is executed, all interrupts (including nonmaskable interrupts) and macro
services are kept pending. The pending state continues until another instruction is executed. Software interrupt
requests are not kept pending, however.

CLR1 CY instructions)
Cautions 1. When a BF instruction is used to poll registers related to interrupts, do not specify this BF instruction as the branch destination.
Otherwise, all interrupts and macro services are kept pending until a condition that inhibits a branch is met during execution
of the instruction.

2. In addition, when you have to use a coding of the instructions listed above consecutively, yet expect frequent occurrence of
interrupts and macro services, insert NOP instructions in the coding to allow time during which interrupts and macro service
can be accepted.

12.3.6 Interrupt and Macro Service Operation Timing
(1) Generation and acceptance of an interrupt request
An interrupt request is generated by hardware. The generated interrupt request sets the corresponding
interrupt request flag to 1.
When the interrupt request flag is set to 1, three clocks (0.5 µs at fCLK = 6 MHz) are required to identify the
priority of the interrupt request.
If the acceptance of the interrupt request is allowed when the current instruction has been executed, the
interrupt request is accepted. If the current instruction is one that keeps interrupt requests and macro services
pending, the interrupt request is accepted after the instruction next to that instruction has been executed. (See
Section 12.3.5 for instructions that keep interrupt requests and macro services pending.)

12.4 MACRO SERVICE FUNCTION
12.4.1 Macro Service Outline
Macro service is one of the interrupt handling methods. When a vectored interrupt is processed, the contents of
the program counter (PC) and the program status word (PSW) are saved in the stack and the PC is loaded with the
vector address retrieved from the vector table. With the macro service function, a different type of processing
(mainly data transfer) is performed. This type of processing can respond to an interrupt request quickly. Moreover,
it transfers data much faster than the program does, shortening the required processing time significantly.
With the macro service function, a vectored interrupt can be generated after processing has been performed a
specified number of times, so that the vectored interrupt program can be simplified.

The following three types of macro services are available:
(1) Type A
Transfers 1-byte data between a special function register (SFR) and memory upon each interrupt request.
When a specified number of data transfers are performed, a vectored interrupt request is generated.
The SFR with which data is to be transferred is predetermined for each interrupt request. In addition, the
memory to be used is fixed at addresses 0FE00H through 0FEFFH in the internal RAM.
This macro service is easily specified and is usable for transfer of a small amount of data at high speed.
(2) Type B
Similarly to type A, transfers 1-byte data between an SFR and memory upon each interrupt request. When
a specified number of data transfers are performed, a vectored interrupt request is generated.
The SFR and memory between which data is to be transferred are specified by the macro service channel (the
memory is a 64K-byte area at addresses 0000H through FEFFH).
This macro service is a general-purpose version of type A. It is suitable for transfer of a large amount of data.

320

Chapter 12 Interrupt Functions

(3) Type C
Transfers 1-byte data from memory to the real-time output port and the compare register for 8-bit timer/
counter 1 upon each interrupt request. When a specified number of data transfers are performed, a vectored
interrupt request is generated.
Type C macro service transfers data to two locations upon one interrupt request. In addition, it can be used
together with output data ring control and automatic addition of the compare register contents to data.
Use of type C is limited to INTC10 and INTC11. The SFRs to which data can be transferred are also limited.
A 64K-byte memory area, addresses 0000H through FEFFH, can be used.
Type C is a macro service for real-time output port and is suitable for controlling stepper motors.

12.4.3 Macro Service Basic Operation
The interrupt request that can specify the macro service processing and that is generated by the algorithm shown
in Fig. 12-10 is handled basically by using the sequence shown in Fig. 12-15.
An interrupt request that can specify a macro service is not affected by the state of the IE flag. It is disabled by
setting the interrupt mask flag in the interrupt mask register (MK0) to 1. The macro service processing is performed
regardless of whether interrupts are disabled and whether a macro service processing is already being performed.

macro service processing occurs.

The type of a macro service and the direction of its data transfer are determined by the value in the mode register
in the macro service control word. Then the macro service channel specified by a channel pointer is used according
to the type of macro service for data transfer.
A macro service channel contains the macro service counter to hold the number of data transfers to be performed,
transfer destination and source pointers, and data buffers. It is mapped to locations from FE00H through FEFFH
in the internal RAM.

321

12.4.4 Macro Service Control Register
(1) Macro service control word
The macro service function of the µPD78214 is controlled using the macro service mode registers and macro
service channel pointers. The macro service mode registers specify the mode of macro service processing,
and the macro service channel pointer specifies the address of a macro service channel to be used.
The macro service mode registers and macro service channel pointers are mapped in the internal RAM as
macro service control words for individual macro services as shown in Fig. 12-16.
To perform macro service, it is necessary to set values in the macro service mode register and channel pointer
corresponding to an interrupt request that can be processed by macro service.

(3) Macro service channel pointer
A macro service channel pointer specifies the address of a macro service channel. The macro service channel
can be located in a 256-byte area in the internal RAM at addresses FE00H through FEFFH. The higher 8 bits
of the address are fixed. Therefore, the macro service channel pointer specifies the lower 8 bits of the highest
address of the macro service channel.

12.4.5 Macro Service Type A
(1) Operation
The type A macro service transfers data between the buffer memory in the macro service channel and the SFR
predetermined for an individual interrupt request.
For this macro service, the direction of data transfer can be specified as either “from memory to SFR” or “from
SFR to memory.”
Data transfer is repeated as many times as previously specified in the macro service counter. The macro
service transfers 8-bit data.
The type A macro service is suitable for transfer of a limited amount of data at high speed.
The 12 types of interrupt requests listed in Table 12-8 can be specified for the type A macro service. Table 128 also lists the SFR registers that can be specified as transfer destinations and sources.

Caution When the external memory is expanded (or always with the µPD78213), an illegal write access operation may occur during the type
A macro service.
This illegal write access occurs when either of the following two conditions is satisfied.
(1) When data D0H through DFH is transferred from memory to an SFR.
(2) When macro service transfers data from an SFR to a buffer (memory) at 0FED0H through 0FEDFH.
An illegal write access is processed in the same manner as the normal memory access. In addition, wait states may be inserted
according to the setting of the PW20 and PW21 bits of the memory expansion mode register (MM). Table 12-9 lists the conditions
under which an illegal write access occurs and the corresponding operations.

Illegal write access

Condition

Data

Address
1

Address of a destination SFR

2

Address of a source SFR

the destination buffer (memory)

This problem may be solved by either of the following two methods.
(1) It is difficult for software to solve the problem if it occurs under condition 1, because it depends on the transfer data. Therefore,
use an external address decoder circuit to keep the image in the area of 0FF00H through 0FFFFH from overlapping the memory
addresses of the external circuit.
(2) If the macro service to be used does not satisfy condition 1 (i.e., if data is not transferred from an SFR to memory), and under
condition 2, locate the buffer area so that its addresses are not 0FED0H through 0FEDFH.
The above problem also occurs with an in-circuit emulator.

The type B macro service transfers data between a data area in the memory specified by the macro service

For this macro service, the direction of data transfer can be specified as either “from memory to SFR” or “from
SFR to memory.”
Data transfer is repeated as many times as previously specified in the macro service counter. The macro
service transfers 8-bit data.
The type B macro service can be specified for all interrupt requests of the µPD78214 that can activate a macro
service. For the type B macro service, the SFR pointers can specify any SFRs for data transfer sources and
destinations.
This macro service is a general-purpose version of the type A macro service. It has a data buffer area in a 64Kbyte address space and therefore is suitable for transfer of a large amount of data.

(2) Macro service channel configuration
The macro service pointer (MP) indicates a data buffer area in the 64K memory space as a transfer source or
destination.
The SFR pointer (SFRP) is set with the lower 8 bits of the address of an SFR used as a transfer source or
destination.
The macro service counter (MSC) specifies the number of data transfers to be performed.
The macro service channel, which holds the macro service pointer, SFR pointer, and macro service counter,
is located at addresses 0FE00H through 0FEFFH in the internal RAM space.
The channel pointer indicates the macro service channel, as shown in Fig. 12-22. The channel pointer holds
the lower 8-bits of the address.

12.4.7 Macro Service Type C
(1) Operation
The type C macro service controls 8-bit timer/counter 1 and the real-time output port simultaneously. This
macro service transfers data to both the compare register for 8-bit timer/counter 1 and the buffer register for
the real-time output port upon one interrupt request.
Only INTC10 and INTC11 can use the type C macro service.

Besides the basic data transfer function described above, the type C macro service can have the following
ancillary functions to reduce the required buffer area and load on the software.
(a) Retention of the timer macro service pointer
It can be specified whether to retain or increment the timer macro service pointer (MPT).
(b) Automatic addition
This function adds data addressed by the timer macro service pointer (MPT) to the value in the compare
register, and transfers the sum to the compare register.
If this function is not used, data addressed by the MPT is transferred to the compare register.
(c) Ring control
This function repeats to output a pattern of data with a predetermined length automatically.
These ancillary functions are specified in the mode register in the macro service control word.
Cautions

1. With the type C macro service, the MPT and MPD are incremented only at the lower 8 bits. If a carry occurs at bit 7 of
the MPTL or MPDL, it is ignored; so the higher 8 bits are not affected.
2. When the external memory is expanded (or always with the µPD78213), an illegal write access operation may occur during
the type C macro service. This illegal write access occurs when the following condition is satisfied.
• When the MPTL address is 0FED0H through 0FEDFH.
An illegal write access is performed in the same manner as the normal memory access. In addition, wait states may be
inserted according to the setting of the PW20 and PW21 bits of the memory expansion mode register (MM). Table 1211 lists the conditions under which an illegal write access occurs and the corresponding operations.

This problem may be solved by the following method.
• Locate the MPTL so that its address does not coincide with an address from 0FED0H through 0FEDFH.
The above problem also occurs with an in-circuit emulator.

(2) Macro service channel configuration
There are two types of type C macro service channels, as shown in Fig. 12-26.
The timer macro service pointer (MPT) indicates a data buffer area in the 64K memory space from which data
is transferred to, or added to the contents of, the compare register for 8-bit timer/counter 1.
The data macro service pointer (MPD) indicates a data buffer area in the 64K memory space from which data
is transferred to the real-time output port.
The modulo register (MR) specifies the number of repetition patterns for ring control (if used).
The ring counter (RC) retains the steps in a pattern for ring control (if used). Usually, it is initialized with the
same value as for the modulo register.
The macro service counter (MSC) specifies the number of data transfers to occur.
The macro service channel, holding these pointers and counter, is located at addresses 0FE00H through
0FEFFH in the internal RAM space. The macro service channel is indicated by the channel pointer as shown
in Fig. 12-26. The channel pointer is set with the lower 8 bits of the address of the macro service channel.

The following example shows a pattern output to the real-time output port and how the output interval is
controlled directly.
Update data is transferred from two data areas previously set in the 64K-byte space to the buffer registers
(P0H and P0L) and compare registers (CR10 and CR11) for the real-time output port.

(4) Example of using automatic addition control and ring control
(a) Automatic addition control
The automatic addition control function adds the output timing data (∆t) specified by a macro service
pointer (MPT) to the contents of a compare register and writes the sum to the compare register.
Using this function makes it unnecessary for software to calculate the setting for the compare register
each time the compare register has to be set.
(b) Ring control
The ring control function cyclically outputs a pattern of predetermined output data.
When this function is used, only one cycle of output data pattern must be prepared even if more data
patterns are required. Therefore, the required data ROM area can be kept small.
The macro service counter (MSC) is decremented each time one data transfer is performed.
The ring control function also generates an interrupt request when MSC = 0.
Let’s take an example of controlling a stepping motor. The data pattern output to the steeping motor
varies with the structure and excitation method (single-phase or double-phase excitation) of the motor.
In any case, the output pattern is repeated. Fig. 12-29 and 12-30 show examples of controlling a 4-phase
stepping motor with the phase 1 excitation method and the phases 1 and 2 excitation method,
respectively.

Chapter 12 Interrupt Functions

12.5 NOTES
(1) Do not use the RETI instruction to return from the software interrupt.
(2) A macro service request is accepted and processed even when a nonmaskable interrupt service program is
running. To disable macro service processing during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service
program, cause the nonmaskable interrupt service program to manipulate the mask register so that no macro
service will not occur.
(3) If the IE bit of the PSW is set to 1, for example, by executing the EI instruction in the nonmaskable interrupt
service program, maskable interrupt requests assigned high priority are made acceptable. If a maskable
interrupt with high priority occurs during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service program, a service
program for the maskable interrupt runs. If the IE and ISP bits of the PSW are set to 1, interrupt requests with
low priority will also occur, thus causing the interrupt service program to run. An RETI instruction will be used
to return from the maskable interrupt service program. The RETI instruction resets the NMIS bit to 0, thus
enabling nonmaskable interrupt requests even when multiple-interrupt handling should not be performed for
nonmaskable interrupts during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service program to which a return was
just made. To inhibit multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable interrupt requests, do not enable interrupts
during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt service program.
(4) Nonmaskable interrupts are always accepted except during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt handling
program (except when multiple-interrupt handling for nonmaskable interrupts have been enabled by
resetting the NMIS bit of the IST register to 0 during execution of the nonmaskable interrupt handling
program) and except a period between a special instruction described in Section 12.3.5 and an instruction that
follows that special instruction. Therefore, nonmaskable interrupts are accepted, even if the contents of the
stack pointer are undefined, for example, right after a reset occurs. At this point, the contents of the PC and
PSW may be transferred to addresses (see Table 3-4 in Section 3.2.5) where writing to any special-function
register is inhibited, depending on the value in the stack pointer. If this occurs, the CPU may hang, unexpected
signals may be output from pins, or an attempt may be made to transfer the contents of the PC or PSW to a
location where no RAM has been installed, thereby making it impossible to return from the nonmaskable
interrupt handling program to the main routine, hence a program crash.

12

If a falling edge (valid edge of the NMI input after a reset) arrives at the NMI pin at much the same time when
a rising edge is supplied to the RESET pin, a branch occurs to the nonmaskable interrupt handling program
without executing a single instruction after a reset, resulting in a program crash almost with no exception.
To avoid these problems, initialize the stack pointer after a reset, and design the hardware so that the NMI
signal does not drop within 10 µs + 20/fCLK after the RESET signal rises.
★
(5) When a BF instruction is used to poll registers related to interrupts, do not specify this BF instruction as the
branch destination. Otherwise, all interrupts and macro services are kept pending until a condition that
inhibits a branch is met during execution of the instruction.
Example of incorrect coding
•

LOOP:

BF IF0H.3,

$LOOP

←

All interrupts and macro services are kept pending, until
IF0H.3 is set to 1. The pending state continues until the
instruction next to the BF is executed.

←

Interrupts or macro services will not be kept pending long,
because they are processed after the NOP is executed.

•
•

Interrupts or macro services will not be kept pending long,
because they are processed after the BR is executed.

(6) In addition, when you have to use a coding of the instructions listed in Section 12.3.5 consecutively, yet expect
frequent occurrence of interrupts and macro services, insert NOP instructions in the coding to allow time
during which interrupts and macro service are accepted.
(7) With the type C macro service, the MPT and MPD are incremented only at the lower bits. If a carry occurs at
bit 7 of the MPTL or MPDL, it is ignored; so the higher 8 bits are not affected.
(8) When the external memory is expanded (or always with the µPD78213), an illegal write access operation may
occur during the type A macro service. This illegal write access occurs when any of the following three
conditions is satisfied.
1. For the type A macro service, when data D0H through DFH is transferred from memory to an SFR.
2. For the type A macro service, when macro service transfers data from an SFR to a buffer (memory) at
0FED0H through 0FEDFH.
3. For the type C macro service, when the MPTL address is 0FED0H through 0FEDFH.
An illegal write access is processed in the same manner as the normal memory access. In addition, wait states
may be inserted according to the setting of the PW20 and PW21 bits of the memory expansion mode register
(MM). Table 12-9 lists the conditions under which an illegal write access occurs and the corresponding
operations.

This problem may be solved by the following methods.
1. It is difficult for software to solve the problem if it occurs under condition 1, because it depends on the
transfer data. Therefore, use an external address decoder circuit to keep the image in the area of 0FF00H
through 0FFFFH from overlapping the memory addresses of the external circuit.
2. If the macro service to be used does not satisfy condition 1 (i.e., if data is not transferred from an SFR to
memory), and under condition 2, locate the buffer area so that its addresses are not 0FED0H through
0FEDFH.
The above problem also occurs with an in-circuit emulator.

CHAPTER 13 LOCAL BUS INTERFACE FUNCTION
The local bus interface function is provided to connect external memories (ROM and RAM) and I/Os.
External memories (ROM and RAM) and I/Os are accessed by using the RD, WR, and ASTB signals, a multiplexed
address/data bus consisting of lines AD0 to AD7, and an address bus consisting of lines A8 to A19. Figs. 13-3 and
13-4 show the basic bus interface timing diagrams.
In addition, a wait function for interfacing with low-speed memory, and a refresh signal output function for
refreshing pseudo static RAM, are provided.

13.2 MEMORY EXPANSION FUNCTION
13.2.1 External Memory Expansion Function
The µPD78214 allows additional 48384-byte memory (for the µPD78212, 56704-byte memory) and I/Os to be
connected according to the setting of the memory expansion mode register (MM).
When the memory space is expanded externally, P50 to P57 function as an address bus, and P40 to P47 function
as a multiplexed address/data bus.
When the EA signal is tied low, the µPD78214 operates in ROM-less mode. In ROM-less mode, 64768 bytes (65536
bytes for the µPD78212) of memory or I/Os can be connected.
The µPD78213 is a ROM-less device, hence always uses external memory.
Caution Address information output on P50/A8 to P57/A15 and P60/A16 to P63/A19 is valid from the time the ASTB signal goes high until
the RD or WR signal goes high. Other than during this period, the output levels of P50/A8 to P57/A15 and P60/A16 to P67/A19 are
undefined. When designing circuits, take this into consideration, and make sure that the output of an undefined value will not cause
any problems. The data sheet of the relevant product gives the specification of the valid period for address output.

When manipulating a space in which external device addresses overlap internal RAM or SFR addresses, the internal RAM or SFR
area is accessed automatically. In this case, the address signal is output, but the ASTB, RD, and WR signals are not output (these
signals remain inactive).

13.2.2 1M-Byte Expansion Function
When bit MM6 of the MM register is set to 1, an additional 960K-bytes of data memory can be used. Therefore,
a 1M-byte memory space is available. In this case, pins P60 to P63 output the highest address bits, A16 to A19.
Example: MOV MM, #47H ; Expansion to 1M bytes
MOV P6, #3H

13.2.3 Memory Mapping with Expanded Memory
Figs. 13-6 to 13-9 show the memory maps when the memory has been expanded. Even when the memory has
been expanded, external devices at the same addresses as those of the internal ROM area, internal RAM area, or
SFR area (excluding the external SFR area (0FFD0H to 0FFDFH)) cannot be accessed. When these addresses are
accessed, the memory and SFRs of the µPD78214 take precedence and are accessed. The ASTB, RD, and WR
signals are not output (these signals remain inactive). The output levels of the address bus and address/data bus
become undefined. However, when the memory is expanded, and the same execution cycle as the external ROM
fetch cycle is specified for internal ROM fetching (by setting the IFCH bit of the memory expansion mode register
(MM) to 0), the address signal and ASTB and RD signals are output upon access to internal ROM. Information on
the address/data bus at this time, however, is not read, and the CPU reads data from internal ROM. (When the RD
signal is active, the address/data bus of the µPD78214 becomes high-impedance.)
The bus cycle in this case is the same as the normal read cycle. So, the programmable wait function can insert
wait states into the bus cycle.
Caution When macro service Type A or Type C is used in external memory expansion mode (the µPD78213 always uses external memory),
an illegal write access may occur. This occurs when any of the following three conditions is satisfied:
(1) Data is transferred from memory to an SFR using macro service Type A, and the transfer data is D0H to DFH.
(2) Data is transferred from an SFR to memory using macro service Type A, and the transfer destination buffer (memory) address
is 0FED0H to 0FEDFH when the macro service is executed.
(3) The MPTL address is 0FED0H to 0FEDFH when macro service Type C is used.
An illegal write access is performed in the same way as normal memory access. In addition, wait states are inserted according to
the setting of bits PW20 and PW21 of the memory expansion mode register (MM). Table 13-1 lists the conditions and operations
for illegal write access.

This problem can be avoided by using the following methods:
1. The problem caused by condition 1 is difficult to avoid by means of software (because whether an illegal access occurs depends
on the transfer data). The problem must be avoided by using the external address decoder so that the area at addresses 0FF00H
to 0FFFFH does not overlap the addresses of the external circuits.
2. When the macro service being used does not satisfy condition 1 (transfer from memory to an SFR is not performed by macro
service Type A), or when condition 2 is satisfied, the buffer area must be mapped to an address other than addresses 0FED0H
to 0FEDFH. In the case of condition 3, the MPTL must be mapped to an address other than addresses 0FED0H to 0FEDFH.
This problem can also occur in the in-circuit emulator.

13.2.4 Example of Connecting Memories
Fig. 13-10 shows an example of connecting memories to the µPD78214. In this example, a PROM, SRAM, and
mask-programmable ROM are connected to the µPD78214. Addresses are assigned to these memories as follows:
• PROM (µPD27C512D-15)

: 0000H-FCFFH (µPD78213)
2000H-0FD7FH (µPD78212)
4000H-FCFFH (µPD78214)
FFD0H-FFDFH as an external SFR area

• RAM (µPD43256AC-12)

: 10000H-17FFFH

• Mask-programmable ROM (µPD23C4000A) : 80000H-FFFFFH
Since the µPD23C4000A mask-programmable ROM requires a long access time, insert one wait state by means
of the programmable wait function (See Section 13.4).
The circuit enclosed in dotted lines (74HC375) is required only when an in-circuit emulator is used. When the
emulator is not used, remove the 74HC375, and connect Dn and Qn (n = 1 to 4), respectively. If the emulator is used
without this circuit, malfunctions may occur. (Usually, however, normal operation is possible because of the
delays introduced by the address decoder and other circuitry.) When this circuit is not used, the 150-ns version,
the µPD43256AC-15, can be used as RAM in place of the µPD43256AC-12.

13.3 INTERNAL ROM HIGH-SPEED FETCH FUNCTION
The µPD78212, µPD78214, and µPD78P214 contain an internal ROM. The internal ROM can be accessed quickly
without having to use the bus control circuit. Usually, internal ROM is fetched at the same speed as external ROM.
When the IFCH bit of the memory expansion mode register (MM) is set to 1, the high-speed fetch function is
enabled, which can speed up internal ROM fetching.
When the same instruction execution cycle as that for external ROM fetching is selected, wait states are inserted
into the cycle by the wait function. When high-speed fetching is performed, however, no wait state is inserted
when accessing internal ROM.
When the RESET signal is applied, the instruction execution cycle for internal fetching is the same as that for the
external ROM fetch cycle.

13.4 WAIT FUNCTION
When a slow memory or I/O is connected to the µPD78214, wait states can be inserted into the external memory
access cycle.
Wait states are inserted while the RD or WR signal is low. The low level period of the signal is extended by 1/fCLK
(167 ns with fCLK = 6 MHz) for each wait state.
There are two methods of inserting wait states: Using the programmable wait function to automatically insert a
predefined number of wait states, and using an external wait signal to control wait insertion.
Wait state insertion is controlled with the memory expansion mode register (MM) for space 00000H to 0FFFFH and
the programmable wait control register (PW) for space 10000H to FFFFFH. No wait state is inserted when internal
ROM and RAM are accessed upon high-speed fetching. When the internal SFR area is accessed, wait states are
inserted at the appropriate timing, regardless of the register specification.
When an access to internal ROM is specified such that it will be performed in the same execution cycle as an access
to external ROM, wait states are also inserted into the internal ROM access cycle according to the MM register
setting.
When control with an external wait signal is specified by the MM register and/or the PW register, the WAIT signal
is applied to pin P66.
When the RESET signal is applied, pin P66 functions as a general-purpose I/O port pin.
Figs. 13-15 to 13-17 show the bus timings when wait states are inserted.
Caution When using the external wait signal, set bit 6 of the PM6 register to 1 to set pin P66/WAIT to input mode.

13.5 PSEUDO STATIC RAM REFRESH FUNCTION
13.5.1 Function
The µPD78214 provides the pseudo static RAM refresh function to enable pseudo static RAM to be connected
directly.
The pseudo static RAM refresh function outputs refresh pulses at arbitrary intervals. The refresh pulse output cycle
period is specified in the refresh mode register (RFM), and the external access cycle is changed to the refresh bus
cycle that matches the pseudo static RAM bus cycle. (The write pulse width becomes shorter by half a clock pulse
than that observed when pseudo static RAM is not connected.)
The µPD78214 provides a function to support self-refresh and thus reduce the power dissipation of pseudo static
RAM application systems.

13.5.2 Refresh Mode Register (RFM)
The RFM register is an 8-bit register that controls the refresh cycle of pseudo static RAM and switching to selfrefresh.
The register can be read and written with 8-bit manipulation instructions and bit manipulation instructions. Fig.
13-18 shows the format of the register.
When the RESET signal is applied, the register is set to 00H. The REFRQ pin is set to port mode such that it functions
as pin P67.

13.5.3 Operation
(1) Pulse refresh operation
To support the pulse refresh cycle of pseudo static RAM, the REFRQ pin outputs refresh pulses, synchronized
with the bus cycle.
Adjust the oscillator frequency and bits 1 and 0 (RFT1 and RFT0) of the refresh mode register (RFM) so that
at least 512 refresh pulses are output in 8 ms.

Pulse refresh is controlled so that it does not overlap external memory access. During the refresh cycle, the
external memory access cycle is held pending (ASTB, RD, and WR are inactive). During the external memory
access cycle, the refresh cycle is held pending.
When pulse refresh does not cause a contention with external memory access, the refresh cycle can be
executed without affecting instruction execution by the CPU.
(a) Accessing internal memory
Even when external pseudo static RAM is not accessed, and internal memory is accessed, the refresh bus
cycle is output at the intervals specified by the RFM register, ensuring that the contents of pseudo static
RAM are retained.

(b) Accessing External Memory
The refresh bus cycle is generated at the intervals specified with the refresh mode register (RFM).
Pseudo static RAM may malfunction if the access timing overlaps the refresh pulse output timing;
therefore, the µPD78214 generates a refresh bus cycle of three clock pulses, synchronized with the bus
cycle.

(2) Self-refresh
Self-refresh is performed to retain the contents of pseudo static RAM when in standby mode.
(a) Setting self-refresh mode
When bit 4 (RFEN) of the RFM register is set to 1, and bit 7 (RFLV) is set to 0, pin REFRQ outputs a low-level
signal, requesting pseudo static RAM to enter self-refresh mode.
(b) Restoration from self-refresh
Refresh pulse output to pseudo static RAM is disabled for approximately 200 nsNote after the output level
of pin REFRQ goes high. The µPD78214 drives pin REFRQ high, synchronized with the refresh timing
counter, so that refresh pulses are not output during a refresh disabled period.
To detect pin REFRQ going high, the read out level of bit RFLV is set to 1 when pin REFRQ goes high.
Note This time varies with the speed of the pseudo static RAM.

Caution If the RFEN bit of the refresh mode register (RFM) is already set to 1 (or is simultaneously set to 1) when the RFLV bit is changed
from 0 to 1, pin REFRQ may output a glitch, having a peak level of approximately 2.6 V, for approximately 10 ns.
When setting the RFLV bit to 1, follow the steps shown in Fig. 13-22. The 200-ns delay after setting RFEN assures the access disabled
time when pseudo static RAM returns from self-refresh mode.

Remarks

1. To ensure the precharge and access times for pseudo static RAM, devices of a sufficiently high speed must be used for those
devices identified as 74AC××. To satisfy the precharge time for pseudo static RAM, use a high-speed product.
2. Pull-up resistors must be connected to the address and address/data bus lines.

13.6 NOTES
(1) Address information output on P50/A8 to P57/A15 and on P60/A16 to P63/A19 is valid from when the ASTB
signal goes high until the RD or WR signal goes high. Except during this period, the output levels of P50/A8
to P57/A15 and of P60/A16 to P63/A19 are undefined. When designing circuits, take this into consideration,
and make sure that the output of an undefined value will not cause any problems.
The data sheet of the relevant product gives the specification of the valid period for address output.
(2) External devices cannot be mapped onto the same addresses as those of the internal RAM area (µPD78213,
µPD78214, and µPD78P214: 0FD00H to 0FEFFH, µPD78212: 0FD80H to 0FEFFH) and SFR area (0FF00H to
0FFFFH, excluding the external SFR area (0FF00H to 0FFDFH)).
Upon manipulating the space where external device addresses overlap with internal RAM or SFR addresses,
the internal RAM or SFR area is accessed automatically. In this case, the address signal is output, but the
ASTB, RD, and WR signals are not output (these signals remain inactive).
372

Chapter 13 Local Bus Interface Function

(3) When macro service Type A or Type C is used in external memory expansion mode (the µPD78213 always uses
external memory), an illegal write access may occur.
This occurs when any of the following three conditions is satisfied:
(a) Data is transferred from memory to an SFR using macro service Type A, and the transfer data is D0H to
DFH.
(b) Data is transferred from an SFR to memory by using macro service Type A, and the transfer destination
buffer (memory) address is 0FED0H to 0FEDFH upon execution of the macro service.
(c) The MPTL address is 0FED0H to 0FEDFH when macro service Type C is used.
An illegal write access is performed in the same way as during normal memory access. In addition, wait states
are inserted according to the setting of bits PW20 and PW21 of the memory expansion mode register (MM).
Table 13-3 lists the conditions and operations for illegal write access.

This problem can be avoided by applying the following methods:
1. The problem caused by condition 1 is difficult to avoid by means of software (whether an illegal access
occurs depends on the transfer data). The problem must be avoided by using the external address
decoder so that the area at addresses 0FF00H to 0FFFFH does not overlap the addresses of the external
circuits.
2. When the macro service being used does not satisfy condition 1 (transfer from memory to an SFR is not
performed by macro service Type A), or when condition 2 is satisfied, the buffer area must be mapped
to an address other than addresses 0FED0H to 0FEDFH. In the case of condition 3, the MPTL must be
mapped to an address other than addresses 0FED0H to 0FEDFH.
This problem can also occur in the in-circuit emulator.
(4) When using the external wait signal, set bit 6 of register PM6 to 1 to set pin P66/WAIT to input mode.
(5) If the RFEN bit of the refresh mode register (RFM) is already set to 1 (or is simultaneously set to 1) when the
RFLV bit is changed from 0 to 1, pin REFRQ may output a glitch, having a peak level of approximately 2.6 V,
for approximately 10 ns.
When setting the RFLV bit to 1, follow the steps shown in Fig. 13-24. The 200-ns delay after setting RFEN
assures the access disabled time when pseudo static RAM returns from self-refresh mode.

CHAPTER 14 STANDBY FUNCTION
14.1 FUNCTION OVERVIEW
The µPD78214 supports a standby function to reduce the system’s power consumption. With the standby function,
two modes are available:
• HALT mode: In this mode, only the CPU clock is stopped. Intermittent operation, when combined with normal
operating mode, can reduce overall system power consumption.
• STOP mode: In this mode, the oscillator is stopped to stop the entire system. Since only leakage currents are
allowed to flow in this mode, the system’s power consumption is minimized.
Each mode is specified by software. Fig. 14-1 is the transition diagram for the standby modes (STOP and HALT
modes).
Fig. 14-2 shows the functional block that implements the standby functions.

14.2 STANDBY CONTROL REGISTER (STBC)
The standby control register (STBC) is an 8-bit register which controls standby mode. The STBC register can be
both read and written. Only a specified instruction (MOV STBC, #byte), however, can be used for writing to the
register, to prevent the application system stopping unintentionally as a result of a program crash. Fig. 14-3 shows
the format of the STBC register.
When the RESET signal is input, the register is set to 0000×000B.

The system enters HALT mode when the HLT bit of the STBC register is set to 1.
The STBC register can be written only with a specified 8-bit data write instruction. When specifying HALT mode,
execute the “MOV STBC, #01H” instruction.
Caution If HALT mode is specified under the conditions for releasing HALT mode, the system does not enter HALT mode, instead executing
the next instruction or branching to the vectored interrupt service program. Clear any interrupt requests before specifying HALT
mode to ensure that the system enters HALT mode correctly.

When a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) is requested, HALT mode is released regardless of whether interrupts
are enabled (EI) or disabled (DI).
Once HALT mode has been released, processing branches to the NMI service program if the NMIS bit of the
interrupt status register (IST) is set to 0. If the NMIS bit is set to 1 (for example, when HALT mode is specified
in the NMI interrupt service program), processing is resumed from the instruction subsequent the one that
has specified HALT mode. Processing then branches to the NMI interrupt service program when the NMIS
bit is set to 0 (for example, with a RETI instruction).
380

Chapter 14 Standby Function

(2) Release by a maskable interrupt request
Only maskable interrupts with 0 in the interrupt mask flag can be used to release HALT mode. If the interrupt
priority status flag (ISP) is set to 0 (only high-priority interrupts are enabled), only interrupts with 0 in the
priority designation flag (high priority) can release HALT mode. Macro services are, however, executed
regardless of their priorities (an interrupt to be generated at the end of each macro service is subject to priority
control).
Once HALT mode has been released, processing branches to the interrupt handling program if the interrupt
request enable flag (IE) is set to 1. If the IE flag is set to 0, processing is resumed from the instruction
subsequent to that which specified HALT mode.
When a macro service is requested, HALT mode is temporarily released to execute the macro service. After
the macro service is executed, HALT mode is resumed. Once the macro service has been executed the
specified number of times, subsequent operations depend on the IE flag, ISP flag, and priority designation
flag.

14.4.1 Specifying STOP Mode and Operation States in STOP Mode

Note The A/D converter stops, but its current dissipation is not reduced if the CS bit of the A/D converter mode register (ADM) is set.
Cautions 1. In STOP mode, the X1 pin is internally short-circuited to VSS (ground potential) to prevent current leakage from the clock
oscillator circuit. STOP mode must not, therefore, be specified for a system using an external clock.
2. Reset the CS bit for the A/D converter.
3. The system enters STOP mode even if an NMI request is being held when STOP mode is specified. When using an NMI request
to release STOP mode, input the NMI signal again.

14.4.2 Releasing STOP Mode
STOP mode can be released by inputting an NMI or RESET signal.
(1) Releasing STOP mode by NMI input
(a) Operation
The oscillator restarts when an effective edge, specified with the external interrupt mode register
(INTM0), is detected at the NMI pin. Then, STOP mode is released after the specified time, required to
allow the oscillation to settle, has elapsed.
Once STOP mode has been released, processing branches to the NMI service program if the NMIS bit of
the interrupt status register (IST) is set to 0. If the NMIS bit is set to 1 (for example, when STOP mode
is specified in the NMI interrupt service program), processing is resumed from the instruction subsequent
to that which specified STOP mode. Processing then branches to the NMI interrupt service program when
the NMIS bit is set to 0 (for example, with a RETI instruction).
(b) Oscillation settling time
The oscillator restarts when an effective, edge specified with the external interrupt mode register
(INTM0), is detected at the NMI pin. Then, when the input level of the NMI signal returns to its original
level, the oscillation settling time counter starts counting. When the 16-bit counter overflows (in 11 ms
when fXX = 12 MHz), the internal system clock is started. The system therefore waits, from the detection
of the effective edge to the start of the internal clock, a total time equal to the high- or low-level width of
the NMI signal after detecting the effective edge and the time needed for the 16-bit oscillation settling time
counter to overflow.

Caution If another effective edge of the NMI signal is detected during the oscillation settling time, the oscillation settling time counter is

of the first active level to detection of the next effective edge and the width of the second active level, starting from its effective
edge. Fix the NMI signal at the inactive level during the oscillation settling time, to ensure the release of STOP mode.

(2) Releasing STOP mode by RESET input
The oscillator restarts when the RESET signal is changed from high to low to set the system to the reset state.
Keep the RESET signal active until the oscillation settling time has elapsed. When the RESET signal goes high,
normal operation starts.
Unlike ordinary reset, the contents of data memory will be the same as those existing immediately before the
system enters STOP mode.

µPD78214 Sub-Series

14.4.3 Notes on Using STOP Mode
Check the following items to ensure that current consumption is appropriately reduced in STOP mode:
(1) Is the output level of each output pin appropriate?
The appropriate output level of each pin depends on the circuit of the next stage. Select an output level that
minimizes current consumption.
• When the circuit of the next stage has a low input impedance, high output causes current to flow from the
power supply to the port, thus increasing current consumption. A CMOS IC is an example of such a circuit.
CMOS ICs having low impedance when the power is turned off. Apply a low voltage to pins used for output
to CMOS ICs, to reduce the current consumption and minimize any degradation in the reliability of the CMOS
ICs. A high output may result in latch-up when the power is next turned on.
• Low output may increase the current consumption, depending on the circuit of the next stage. In such a case,
apply a high voltage to the relevant pins or place the pins in the high-impedance state to reduce current
consumption.
The procedure for setting the output level for each port depends on the state of the port.
• When a port is set to control mode, the output level depends on the state of the internal hardware. The state
of the internal hardware must be considered when setting the output level.
• When a port is set to port mode, the output level can be set by writing appropriate data to the output latch
for that port, as well as the port mode register, by means of a program.
When a port is set to control mode, setting of the output level is facilitated by changing the setting of the port
to port mode.
(2) Is the input level of each input pin appropriate?
The voltage input to each pin must be maintained at a level between VSS and VDD. A voltage that falls outside
this range will result in increased current consumption as well as adversely affecting the reliability of the
microcomputer. Any intermediate voltage must also be avoided.
(3) Is the built-in pull-up resistor necessary?
Any unnecessary pull-up resistors may increase current consumption and result in the latch-up of other
devices. Specify the use of only necessary pull-up resistors.
If a port consists both of pins that require pull-up resistors and those that do not require pull-up resistors,
connect external pull-up resistors to those pins that require them and specify internal pull-up resistors for a
port that is not to be used.
(4) Are the address bus and address/data bus pins arranged appropriately?
The outputs of the address bus pins are unpredictable (high or low) in STOP mode. If the external circuit has
a low input impedance, current flows from the address bus pins, thus increasing the current consumption.
The input impedance of the external circuits connected to the address bus pins must therefore be high, even
in STOP mode.
In particular, CMOS ICs have a low input impedance when their power is turned off. Therefore, the following
arrangements are necessary to prevent current consumption from increasing or the reliability of the ICs from
being degraded:
• Do not turn off the CMOS IC (always supply power, even in STOP mode).
• Connect a diode with a small VF to prevent current from flowing, as shown in Fig. 14-6.

The outputs of the address/data bus pins are high-impedance in STOP mode. The address/data bus pins are
usually pulled up with pull-up resistors. If a pull-up resistor is connected to a power supply which is backed
up, current flows through the pull-up resistor to an external circuit that is connected to a power supply that
is not backed up, if the circuit has low input impedance. As a result, current consumption increases. To
prevent this, connect pull-up resistors to any power supply that is not backed up, as shown in Fig. 14-7.

The outputs of the RD, WR, ASTB, and REFRQ pins are fixed in STOP mode and, therefore, require the same
arrangements as the address bus pins. The ASTB pin, which outputs a low voltage, usually does not require
any external parts.
The level of the voltage input to the WAIT pin must be maintained between VSS and VDD. Any voltage falling
outside this range increases the current consumption as well as adversely affecting the reliability of the
microcomputer.
For the µPD78214, you can prevent problems related to address/data bus pins simply by specifying port mode
for the pins. The µPD78213, however, requires that the above arrangements be implemented.
(5) A/D converter
When the CS bit (bit 7) of the A/D converter mode register (ADM) is reset to 0, the current flowing from the
AVREF pin is reduced. To reduce the current further, cut off the current supplied to the AVREF pin by means
of an external circuit. In this case, however, a voltage higher than that of the AVREF pin must not be applied
to the following pins:
• Pin selected with bits ANI0 to ANI2 when the MS bit of the ADM register is 0
• AN0 pin when the MS bit of the ADM register is 1
Fig. 14-8 shows an example arrangement for preventing voltages higher than that of the AVREF pin. Note,
however, that in this case, response to changes in the input signal may become slow due to the time constant
derived from C and R on the input line.

The voltage input to the AN0 to AN7 pins must be maintained at a level between VSS and VDD. Any voltage

14.5 NOTES
(1) If HALT mode is specified under the conditions for releasing HALT mode, the system does not enter HALT
mode, instead executing the next instruction or branching to the vectored interrupt service program. Clear
any interrupt requests before specifying HALT mode to ensure that the system correctly enters HALT mode.
(2) In STOP mode, the X1 pin is internally short-circuited to VSS (ground potential) to prevent current leakage
from the clock oscillator circuit. STOP mode must not, therefore, be specified for a system using an external
clock.
(3) Reset the CS bit for the A/D converter before specifying STOP mode.
(4) The system enters STOP mode even if an NMI request is held when STOP mode is specified. When using an
NMI request to release STOP mode, input the NMI signal again.
★ (5) If another effective edge of the NMI signal is detected during the oscillation settling time, the oscillation
settling time counter is cleared and restarts counting, resulting in a longer wait time than usual. The extra
wait time is the total of the time from the end of the first active level to detection of the next effective edge
and the width of the second active level, starting from its effective edge. Fix the NMI signal at the inactive level
during the oscillation settling time, to ensure the correct release of STOP mode.

CHAPTER 15 RESET FUNCTION
15.1 RESET FUNCTION
When the signal applied to the RESET input pin is low, the system is reset, and each hardware component is set
to the state indicated in Table 15-2. All pins, except the power supply pin, assume the high-impedance state. Table
15-1 lists the states of pins during reset and after the reset state is released.
When the signal applied to the RESET input pin goes high, the reset state is released and program execution
branches as follows: The contents of address 00000H in the reset vector table are set in bits 0 to 7 of the program
counter (PC), while the contents of 00001H are set in bits 8 to 15 of the PC. The program is resumed from the address
set in the PC. You can thus resume the program from an arbitrary address.
Initialize registers in the program as required.
The RESET pin contains a noise eliminator based on analog delays to prevent abnormal operation due to noise
(see Fig. 15-1).

CHAPTER 16 APPLICATION EXAMPLES
16.1 OPEN-LOOP CONTROL OF STEPPER MOTORS
This section provides an example of controlling stepper motors with the real-time output function, 8-bit timer/
counter 1, and the macro service function of the µPD78214.
Fig. 16-1 shows the functional blocks for controlling two stepper motors.
An interrupt signal is generated when the value in 8-bit timer/counter 1 (TM1) is matched with the value in compare
register CR10 or CR11. The interrupt signal triggers a macro service in which the CPU automatically transfers table
data prepared in memory to the compare register and the buffer register for the real-time output port. Data
transferred to the compare register is used for the interval before the generation of the next interrupt.
Data transferred to the buffer register is output from port 0.
Open-loop control of stepper motors with the µPD78214 has the following advantages:
(1) The real-time output function provides accurate control (output) signals based on a specified interval.
(2) Two stepper motors can be independently controlled with an 8-bit timer/counter and two compare registers.
Hardware can thus be efficiently used.
(3) The macro service function can perform complicated control, such as the acceleration/deceleration of stepper
motors, without the need for software.

16.2 SERIAL COMMUNICATION WITH MULTIPLE DEVICES
Fig. 16-2 shows an example of a system configured with a serial bus interface. The serial bus interface can transfer
addresses (for selecting devices), commands, and data, as well as acknowledge and busy signals, using only two
lines: The serial clock and serial bus lines.
When a master device communicates with multiple slave devices, the master device outputs an address for
selecting a slave device on the serial bus line. Each slave device checks whether the received address is the same
as the address assigned to the device, using software. Only a slave device whose address is the same as the
received address returns an acknowledge signal to the master device, after which it receives commands from the
master device or transfers data to and from the master device. Fig. 16-3 shows an example of communication
using the serial bus interface (SBI).

CHAPTER 17 PROGRAMMING FOR THE µPD78P214
The µPD78P214 employs an electrically writable PROM of 16384 × 8 bits for program memory. Use the NMI and
RESET pins to set the µPD78P214 to PROM programming mode when programming the PROM.
The µPD78P214 provides programming characteristics compatible with the µPD27C256ANote.
★

Note 100 µs program pulses are not supported.

17.1 OPERATING MODE
When +6 V is applied to the VDD pin and +12.5 V to the VPP pin, the µPD78P214 enters PROM programming mode.
This mode can be changed to each of the operating modes shown in Table 17-1 according to the settings of the
CE and OE pins.
Setting the µPD78P214 to read mode enables it to read the contents of PROM.

Caution When VPP is +12.5 V and VDD is +6 V, CE and OE must not be set to low at the same time.

17.2 PROCEDURE FOR WRITING INTO PROM
Data can be written into PROM at high speed by following the procedure below:
(1) Fix the RESET pin to the low level. Apply +12.5 V to pin NMI. Handle unused pins as described in Section 1.3.2.
(2) Apply +6 V to the VDD pin and +12.5 V to the VPP pin.
(3) Input an initial address.
(4) Input the write data.
(5) Input a program pulse (active low), having a period of 1 ms, to the CE pin.
(6) Check that data has been written into the PROM (verify mode). When the data has been written correctly, go
to step (8). Otherwise, repeat steps (4) to (6). If data has still not been written successfully after repeating this
part of the procedure 25 times, go to step (7).
(7) Assume the device to be defective and abandon the write operation.
(8) Input the write data, then input a program pulse which has a period of (number of times steps (4) to (6) have
been repeated) × 3 ms (additional write).
(9) Increment the address.
(10) Repeat steps (4) to (9) until the address exceeds the previous address.
Fig. 17-1 is the timing chart for steps (2) to (8) above.

B.1 HARDWARE (1/2)
IE-78240-R-A

The IE-78240-R-A is an enhanced version of the IE-78210-R and IE-78240-R.
This in-circuit emulator can be used for any model of the µPD78214 sub-series.
It operates with a PC-9800 series or IBM PC/AT host machine. By using this
emulator together with the optional screen debugger and device file, programs
written in C or a structured assembly language can be debugged at the source
program level. Features such as the simultaneous tracing of data access and
program fetch, as well as C0 coverage, enable efficient debugging and program
testing. For those already using the IE-78210-R or IE-78240-R, the emulator can
be upgraded to a level equivalent to the IE-78240-R-A simply by adding an
optional board (IE-78200-R-BK).

IE-78240-RNote 2
IE-78210-RNote 2

These in-circuit emulators can be used for any model of the µPD78214 subseriesNote 1. They are connected to a host machine or a console to enable
debugging. When connected to a host machine, they enable symbolic debugging and allow object files to be exchanged with the host machine, thus
making the debugging process more efficient. These emulators each have two
RS-232C ports, to which the PC-1500 PROM programmer can be connected.

IE-78240-R-EM
IE-78210-R-EMNote 2
IE-78200-R-EMNote 2
IE-78200-R-BK

These boards are used to upgrade the 75X and 78K series in-circuit emulators
to a level equivalent to the IE-78240-R-A, IE-78240-R, or IE-78210-RNote 2. For

µPD78213GJ-5BJ, µPD78214GJ-×××-5BJ, µPD78P214GJ-5BJ, and
µPD78214GJ(A)-×××-5BJ. It is used together with the EV-9200G-74. Unlike the
EP-78210GJ, this probe is of single-unit type, and is thus easier to use.

EP-78240GQ-R
EP-78210GQNote 2

These emulation probes are used for the µPD78213GQ-36, µPD78214GQ-×××-36,
µPD78P214GQ-36, µPD78213GQ(A)-36, and µPD78214GQ(A)-×××-36. The EP78240GQ-R is essentially the same product as the EP-78210GQ, the only
difference being that the former has a longer cable.

EP-78240LP-R
EP-78210LNote 2

These emulation probes are used for the µPD78210L, µPD78213L, µPD78214L×××, µPD78P214L, and µPD78214L(A)-×××. The EP-78240LP-R is essentially the

assembler (RA78K/II)

This relocatable assembler can be used for all the 78K/II series products. Its macro
functions enhance efficiency in software development. It also includes a structured assembler, which makes the program control structure more comprehensive,
thus improving software productivity and maintainability. The relocatable assembler consists of the following programs:
Structured assembler preprocessor
(program name: ST78K2)

Converts a source program written in the
structured assembler language into a
form that can be input into the
relocatable assembler.

Relocatable assembler
(program name: RA78K2)

Converts a source program written in
assembly language into a machine
language program, enabling the generation of a relocatable object module file.

Linker (program name: LK78K2)

Links an object module file, generated by
the relocatable assembler, with a library
file, to determine the absolute address of
the program and to generate a load
module file.

Object converter
(program name: OC78K2)

Converts a load module file, generated
by the linker, into a suitable form for
downloading to the in-circuit emulator
and PROM programmer.

Librarian (program name: LB78K2)

Links object module files, generated by
the relocatable assembler, to create a
single library file. It also updates the
library files.

List converter
(program name: LCNV78K2)

Creates an assemble list from the
assemble list file output by the
relocatable assembler, using the object
and load module files. The assemble list
contains absolute values.

together with the device file (DF78210). It can be used when the in-circuit emulator
has been upgraded to IE-78240-R-A class and a PC-9800 series or IBM PC/AT
computer is being used as a host computer. This debugger can debug source
programs written in C, structured assembly language, and assembly language. Its
split screen function, by which the screen is split into sections to enable the
simultaneous display of different information, makes debugging more efficient.
