5 / 63 page 1.0 General Description 1.1 EMI REDUCTION The COP8CFE9 device incorporates circuitry that guards against electromagnetic interference - an increasing problem in today’s microcontroller board designs. National’s patented EMI reduction technology offers low EMI clock circuitry, gradual turn-on output drivers (GTOs) and internal Icc smoothing filters, to help circumvent many of the EMI issues influencing embedded control designs. National has achieved 15 dB–20 dB reduction in EMI transmissions when designs have incorporated its patented EMI reducing cir- cuitry. 1.2 IN-SYSTEM PROGRAMMING AND VIRTUAL EEPROM The device includes a program in a boot ROM that provides the capability, through the MICROWIRE/PLUS serial inter- face, to erase, program and read the contents of the Flash memory. Additional routines are included in the boot ROM, which can be called by the user program, to enable the user to custom- ize in system software update capability if MICROWIRE/ PLUS is not desired. Additional functions will copy blocks of data between the RAM and the Flash Memory. These functions provide a virtual EEPROM capability by allowing the user to emulate a variable amount of EEPROM by initializing nonvolatile vari- ables from the Flash Memory and occasionally restoring these variables to the Flash Memory. The contents of the boot ROM have been defined by Na- tional. Execution of code from the boot ROM is dependent on the state of the FLEX bit in the Option Register on exit from RESET. If the FLEX bit is a zero, the Flash Memory is assumed to be empty and execution from the boot ROM begins. For further information on the FLEX bit, refer to Section 4.5, Option Register. 1.3 TRUE IN-SYSTEM EMULATION On-chip emulation capability has been added which allows the user to perform true in-system emulation using final production boards and devices. This simplifies testing and evaluation of software in real environmental conditions. The user, merely by providing for a standard connector which can be bypassed by jumpers on the final application board, can provide for software and hardware debugging using actual production units. 1.4 ARCHITECTURE The COP8 family is based on a modified Harvard architec- ture, which allows data tables to be accessed directly from program memory. This is very important with modern microcontroller-based applications, since program memory is usually ROM or EPROM, while data memory is usually RAM. Consequently constant data tables need to be con- tained in non-volatile memory, so they are not lost when the microcontroller is powered down. In a modified Harvard ar- chitecture, instruction fetch and memory data transfers can be overlapped with a two stage pipeline, which allows the next instruction to be fetched from program memory while the current instruction is being executed using data memory. This is not possible with a Von Neumann single-address bus architecture. The COP8 family supports a software stack scheme that allows the user to incorporate many subroutine calls. This capability is important when using High Level Languages. With a hardware stack, the user is limited to a small fixed number of stack levels. 1.5 INSTRUCTION SET In today’s 8-bit microcontroller application arena cost/ performance, flexibility and time to market are several of the key issues that system designers face in attempting to build well-engineered products that compete in the marketplace. Many of these issues can be addressed through the manner in which a microcontroller’s instruction set handles process- ing tasks. And that’s why the COP8 family offers a unique and code-efficient instruction set - one that provides the flexibility, functionality, reduced costs and faster time to mar- ket that today’s microcontroller based products require. Code efficiency is important because it enables designers to pack more on-chip functionality into less program memory space (ROM, OTP or Flash). Selecting a microcontroller with less program memory size translates into lower system costs, and the added security of knowing that more code can be packed into the available program memory space. 1.5.1 Key Instruction Set Features The COP8 family incorporates a unique combination of in- struction set features, which provide designers with optimum code efficiency and program memory utilization. 1.5.2 Single Byte/Single Cycle Code Execution The efficiency is due to the fact that the majority of instruc- tions are of the single byte variety, resulting in minimum program space. Because compact code does not occupy a substantial amount of program memory space, designers can integrate additional features and functionality into the microcontroller program memory space. Also, the majority instructions executed by the device are single cycle, result- ing in minimum program execution time. In fact, 77% of the instructions are single byte single cycle, providing greater code and I/O efficiency, and faster code execution. 1.6.3 Many Single-Byte, Multi-Function Instructions The COP8 instruction set utilizes many single-byte, multi- function instructions. This enables a single instruction to accomplish multiple functions, such as DRSZ, DCOR, JID, LD (Load) and X (Exchange) instructions with post- incrementing and post-decrementing, to name just a few examples. In many cases, the instruction set can simulta- neously execute as many as three functions with the same single-byte instruction. JID: (Jump Indirect); Single byte instruction decodes exter- nal events and jumps to corresponding service routines (analogous to “DO CASE” statements in higher level lan- guages). LAID: (Load Accumulator-Indirect); Single byte look up table instruction provides efficient data path from the program memory to the CPU. This instruction can be used for table lookup and to read the entire program memory for checksum calculations. RETSK: (Return Skip); Single byte instruction allows return from subroutine and skips next instruction. Decision to branch can be made in the subroutine itself, saving code. AUTOINC/DEC: (Auto-Increment/Auto-Decrement); These instructions use the two memory pointers B and X to effi- ciently process a block of data (simplifying “FOR NEXT” or other loop structures in higher level languages). www.national.com 5 |
