MC9S12E256 Device Overview (MC9S12E256DGV1)
1.1 Introduction
The MC9S12E256 is a 112/80 pin low cost general purpose MCU comprised of standard on-chip
peripherals including a 16-bit central processing unit (HCS12 CPU), 256K bytes of Flash EEPROM, 16K
bytes of RAM, three asynchronous serial communications interface modules (SCI), a serial peripheral
interface (SPI), an Inter-IC Bus (IIC), three 4-channel 16-bit timer modules (TIM), a 6-channel 15-bit
Pulse Modulator with Fault protection module (PMF), a 6-channel 8-bit Pulse Width Modulator (PWM),
a 16-channel 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and two 1-channel 8-bit digital-to-analog
converters (DAC). The MC9S12E256 has full 16-bit data paths throughout. The inclusion of a PLL circuit
allows power consumption and performance to be adjusted to suit operational requirements. In addition to
the I/O ports available on each module, 16 dedicated I/O port bits are available with Wake-Up capability
from STOP or WAIT mode. Furthermore, an on chip bandgap based voltage regulator (VREG) generates
the internal digital supply voltage of 2.5V (VDD) from a 2.97V to 5.5V external supply range.

RESET is an active low bidirectional control signal that acts as an input to initialize the MCU to a known
start-up state. It also acts as an open-drain output to indicate that an internal failure has been detected in
either the clock monitor or COP watchdog circuit. External circuitry connected to the RESET pin should
not include a large capacitance that would interfere with the ability of this signal to rise to a valid logic one
within 32 ECLK cycles after the low drive is released. Upon detection of any reset, an internal circuit
drives the RESET pin low and a clocked reset sequence controls when the MCU can begin normal
processing.
1.4.3 TEST — Test Pin
The TEST pin is reserved for test and must be tied to VSS in all applications.
1.4.4 XFC — PLL Loop Filter Pin
Dedicated pin used to create the PLL loop filter. See Chapter 4, “Clocks and Reset Generator (CRGV4)
Block Description” for more detailed information.

The BKGD / TAGHI / MODC pin is used as a pseudo-open-drain pin for the background debug
communication. It is used as a MCU operating mode select pin during reset. The state of this pin is latched
to the MODC bit at the rising edge of RESET. In MCU expanded modes of operation, when instruction
tagging is on, an input low on this pin during the falling edge of E-clock tags the high half of the instruction
word being read into the instruction queue. This pin always has an internal pull up.

1.4.8 PE7 / NOACC / XCLKS — Port E I/O Pin 7
PE7 is a general purpose input or output pin. During MCU expanded modes of operation, the NOACC
signal, when enabled, is used to indicate that the current bus cycle is an unused or “free cycle”. This signal
will assert when the CPU is not using the bus. The XCLKS is an input signal which controls whether a
crystal in combination with the internal Colpitts (low power) oscillator is used or whether Pierce
oscillator/external clock circuitry is used. The state of this pin is latched at the rising edge of RESET. If
the input is a logic low the EXTAL pin is configured for an external clock drive or a Pierce Oscillator. If
the input is a logic high a Colpitts oscillator circuit is configured on EXTAL and XTAL. Since this pin is
an input with a pull-up device during reset, if the pin is left floating, the default configuration is a Colpitts
oscillator circuit on EXTAL and XTAL.

when RESET is low. PE5 is not available in the 80-pin package version.
1.4.11 PE4 / ECLK— Port E I/O Pin 4 / E-Clock Output
PE4 is a general purpose input or output pin. In Normal Single Chip mode PE4 is configured with an active
pull-up while in reset and immediately out of reset. The pullup can be turned off by clearing PUPEE in the
PUCR register. In all modes except Normal Single Chip Mode, the PE4 pin is initially configured as the
output connection for the internal bus clock (ECLK). ECLK is used as a timing reference and to
demultiplex the address and data in expanded modes. The ECLK frequency is equal to 1/2 the crystal
frequency out of reset. The ECLK output function depends upon the settings of the NECLK bit in the
PEAR register, the IVIS bit in the MODE register and the ESTR bit in the EBICTL register. All clocks,
including the ECLK, are halted when the MCU is in STOP mode. It is possible to configure the MCU to
interface to slow external memory. ECLK can be stretched for such accesses. The PE4 pin is initially
configured as ECLK output with stretch in all expanded modes. Reference the MISC register
(EXSTR[1:0] bits) for more information. In normal expanded narrow mode, the ECLK is available for use
in external select decode logic or as a constant speed clock for use in the external application system.
1.4.12 PE3 / LSTRB / TAGLO — Port E I/O Pin 3 / Low-Byte Strobe (LSTRB)
PE3 can be used as a general-purpose I/O in all modes and is an input with an active pull-up out of reset.
The pullup can be turned off by clearing PUPEE in the PUCR register. PE3 can also be configured as a
Low-Byte Strobe (LSTRB). The LSTRB signal is used in write operations, so external low byte writes will
not be possible until this function is enabled. LSTRB can be enabled by setting the LSTRE bit in the PEAR
register. In Expanded Wide and Emulation Narrow modes, and when BDM tagging is enabled, the LSTRB
function is multiplexed with the TAGLO function. When enabled a logic zero on the TAGLO pin at the
falling edge of ECLK will tag the low byte of an instruction word being read into the instruction queue.
PE3 is not available in the 80 pin package version.
1.4.13 PE2 / R/W — Port E I/O Pin 2 / Read/Write
PE2 can be used as a general-purpose I/O in all modes and is configured an input with an active pull-up
out of reset. The pullup can be turned off by clearing PUPEE in the PUCR register. If the read/write
function is required it should be enabled by setting the RDWE bit in the PEAR register. External writes
will not be possible until the read/write function is enabled. The PE2 pin is not available in the 80 pin
package version.
1.4.14 PE1 / IRQ — Port E input Pin 1 / Maskable Interrupt Pin
PE1 is always an input and can always be read. The PE1 pin is also the IRQ input used for requesting an
asynchronous interrupt to the MCU. During reset, the I bit in the condition code register (CCR) is set and
any IRQ interrupt is masked until software enables it by clearing the I bit. The IRQ is software

programmable to either falling edge-sensitive triggering or level-sensitive triggering based on the setting
of the IRQE bit in the IRQCR register. The IRQ is always enabled and configured to level-sensitive
triggering out of reset. It can be disabled by clearing IRQEN bit in the IRQCR register. There is an active
pull-up on this pin while in reset and immediately out of reset. The pullup can be turned off by clearing
PUPEE in the PUCR register.
1.4.15 PE0 / XIRQ — Port E input Pin 0 / Non Maskable Interrupt Pin
PE0 is always an input and can always be read. The PE0 pin is also the XIRQ input for requesting a
nonmaskable asynchronous interrupt to the MCU. During reset, the X bit in the condition code register
(CCR) is set and any XIRQ interrupt is masked until MCU software enables it by clearing the X bit.
Because the XIRQ input is level sensitive triggered, it can be connected to a multiple-source wired-OR
network. There is an active pull-up on this pin while in reset and immediately out of reset. The pullup can
be turned off by clearing PUPEE in the PUCR register.
1.4.16 PK7 / ECS / ROMCTL — Port K I/O Pin 7

modes the PK7 pin can be used to determine the reset state of the ROMON bit in the MISC register. At
the rising edge of RESET, the state of the PK7 pin is latched to the ROMON bit. There is an active pull-up
on this pin while in reset and immediately out of reset. The pullup can be turned off by clearing PUPKE
in the PUCR register. Refer to Chapter 18, “Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)” for further
details. PK7 is not available in the 80 pin package version.
1.4.17 PK6 / XCS — Port K I/O Pin 6

bit in the MODE register is set to 1, this pin is used as an external chip select signal for most external
accesses that are not selected by ECS. There is an active pull-up on this pin while in reset and immediately
out of reset. The pullup can be turned off by clearing PUPKE in the PUCR register. Refer to Chapter 18,
“Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)” for further details. PK6 is not available in the 80 pin
package version.

bit in the MODE register is set to 1, PK[5:0] provide the expanded address XADDR[19:14] for the external
bus. There are active pull-ups on PK[5:0] pins while in reset and immediately out of reset. The pullup can
be turned off by clearing PUPKE in the PUCR register. Refer to Chapter 18, “Multiplexed External Bus

1.6 Modes of Operation
1.6.1 Overview
Eight possible modes determine the operating configuration of the MC9S12E256. Each mode has an
associated default memory map and external bus configuration controlled by a further pin.
Three low power modes exist for the device.
1.6.2 Chip Configuration Summary
The operating mode out of reset is determined by the states of the MODC, MODB, and MODA pins during
reset. The MODC, MODB, and MODA bits in the MODE register show the current operating mode and
provide limited mode switching during operation. The states of the MODC, MODB, and MODA pins are
latched into these bits on the rising edge of the reset signal. The ROMCTL signal allows the setting of the
ROMON bit in the MISC register thus controlling whether the internal Flash is visible in the memory map.
ROMON = 1 mean the Flash is visible in the memory map. The state of the ROMCTL pin is latched into
the ROMON bit in the MISC register on the rising edge of the reset signal.
For further explanation on the modes refer to Chapter 18, “Multiplexed External Bus Interface
(MEBIV3)”.

1.7 Security
The device will make available a security feature preventing the unauthorized read and write of the
memory contents. This feature allows:
• Protection of the contents of FLASH,
• Operation in single-chip mode,
• Operation from external memory with internal FLASH disabled.
The user must be reminded that part of the security must lie with the user’s code. An extreme example
would be user’s code that dumps the contents of the internal program. This code would defeat the purpose
of security. At the same time the user may also wish to put a back door in the user’s program. An example
of this is the user downloads a key through the SCI which allows access to a programming routine that
updates parameters.
1.7.1 Securing the Microcontroller
Once the user has programmed the FLASH, the part can be secured by programming the security bits
located in the FLASH module. These non-volatile bits will keep the part secured through resetting the part
and through powering down the part.
The security byte resides in a portion of the Flash array.
Check Chapter 2, “256 Kbyte Flash Module (S12FTS256K2V1)” for more details on the security
configuration.
1.7.2 Operation of the Secured Microcontroller
1.7.2.1 Normal Single Chip Mode
This will be the most common usage of the secured part. Everything will appear the same as if the part was
not secured with the exception of BDM operation. The BDM operation will be blocked.
1.7.2.2 Executing from External Memory
The user may wish to execute from external space with a secured microcontroller. This is accomplished
by resetting directly into expanded mode. The internal FLASH will be disabled. BDM operations will be
blocked.
1.7.3 Unsecuring the Microcontroller
In order to unsecure the microcontroller, the internal FLASH must be erased. This can be done through an
external program in expanded mode.
Once the user has erased the FLASH, the part can be reset into special single chip mode. This invokes a
program that verifies the erasure of the internal FLASH. Once this program completes, the user can erase
and program the FLASH security bits to the unsecured state. This is generally done through the BDM, but
the user could also change to expanded mode (by writing the mode bits through the BDM) and jumping to
Chapter 1 MC9S12E256 Device Overview (MC9S12E256DGV1)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
74 Freescale Semiconductor
an external program (again through BDM commands). Note that if the part goes through a reset before the
security bits are reprogrammed to the unsecure state, the part will be secured again.
1.8 Low Power Modes
The microcontroller features three main low power modes. Consult the respective block description
chapter for information on the module behavior in Stop, Pseudo Stop, and Wait Mode. An important source
of information about the clock system is Chapter 4, “Clocks and Reset Generator (CRGV4) Block
Description”.
1.8.1 Stop
Executing the CPU STOP instruction stops all clocks and the oscillator thus putting the chip in fully static
mode. Wake up from this mode can be done via reset or external interrupts.
1.8.2 Pseudo Stop
This mode is entered by executing the CPU STOP instruction. In this mode the oscillator is still running
and the Real Time Interrupt (RTI) or Watchdog (COP) sub module can stay active. Other peripherals are
turned off. This mode consumes more current than the full STOP mode, but the wake up time from this
mode is significantly shorter.
1.8.3 Wait
This mode is entered by executing the CPU WAI instruction. In this mode the CPU will not execute
instructions. The internal CPU signals (address and data bus) will be fully static. All peripherals stay
active. For further power consumption the peripherals can individually turn off their local clocks.
1.8.4 Run
Although this is not a low power mode, unused peripheral modules should not be enabled in order to save
power.
1.9 Resets and Interrupts
Consult the Exception Processing section of the CPU12 Reference Manual for information on resets and
interrupts. System resets can be generated through external control of the RESET pin, through the clock
and reset generator module CRG or through the low voltage reset (LVR) generator of the voltage regulator
module. Refer to Chapter 4, “Clocks and Reset Generator (CRGV4) Block Description” and Chapter 14,
“Dual Output Voltage Regulator (VREG3V3V2) Block Description” for detailed information on reset
generation.

1.9.2.2 Effects of Reset
When a reset occurs, MCU registers and control bits are changed to known start-up states. Refer to the
respective module block description chapters for register reset states. Refer to Chapter 18, “Multiplexed
External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)” for mode dependent pin configuration of port A, B and E out of reset.
Refer to Chapter 3, “Port Integration Module (PIM9E256V1) Block Description” for reset configurations
of all peripheral module ports.
Refer to Table 1-1 for locations of the memories depending on the operating mode after reset.
The RAM array is not automatically initialized out of reset.
1.10 Recommended Printed Circuit Board Layout
The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) must be carefully laid out to ensure proper operation of the voltage
regulator as well as the MCU itself. The following rules must be observed:
• Every supply pair must be decoupled by a ceramic capacitor connected as near as possible to the
corresponding pins (C1–C6).
• Central point of the ground star should be the VSSR pin.
• Use low ohmic low inductance connections between VSS1, VSS2 and VSSR.
• VSSPLL must be directly connected to VSSR.
• Keep traces of VSSPLL, EXTAL and XTAL as short as possible and occupied board area for C7,
C8, C11 and Q1 as small as possible.
• Do not place other signals or supplies underneath area occupied by C7, C8, C10 and Q1 and the
connection area to the MCU.
• Central power input should be fed in at the VDDA/VSSA pins.

256 Kbyte Flash Module (S12FTS256K2V1)
2.1 Introduction
This document describes the FTS256K2 module that includes a 256 Kbyte Flash (nonvolatile) memory.
The Flash memory may be read as either bytes, aligned words, or misaligned words. Read access time is
one bus cycle for bytes and aligned words, and two bus cycles for misaligned words.
The Flash memory is ideal for program and data storage for single-supply applications allowing for field
reprogramming without requiring external voltage sources for program or erase. Program and erase
functions are controlled by a command driven interface. The Flash module supports both block erase and
sector erase. An erased bit reads 1 and a programmed bit reads 0. The high voltage required to program
and erase the Flash memory is generated internally. It is not possible to read from a Flash block while it is
being erased or programmed.
CAUTION
A Flash word must be in the erased state before being programmed.
Cumulative programming of bits within a Flash word is not allowed.
2.1.1 Glossary
Banked Register — A memory-mapped register operating on one Flash block which shares the same
register address as the equivalent registers for the other Flash blocks. The active register bank is selected
by the BKSEL bit in the FCNFG register.
Command Write Sequence — A three-step MCU instruction sequence to execute built-in algorithms
(including program and erase) on the Flash memory.
Common Register — A memory-mapped register which operates on all Flash blocks.

2.3.1 Module Memory Map
The Flash memory map is shown in Figure 2-2. The HCS12 architecture places the Flash memory
addresses between 0x4000 and 0xFFFF which corresponds to three 16-Kbyte pages. The content of the
HCS12 core PPAGE register is used to map the logical middle page ranging from address 0x8000 to
0xBFFF to any physical 16 Kbyte page in the Flash memory. By placing 0x3E or 0x3F in the HCS12 Core
PPAGE register, the associated 16 Kbyte pages appear twice in the MCU memory map.
The FPROT register, described in Section 2.3.2.5, “Flash Protection Register (FPROT)”, can be set to
globally protect a Flash block. However, three separate memory regions, one growing upward from the
first address in the next-to-last page in the Flash block (called the lower region), one growing downward
from the last address in the last page in the Flash block (called the higher region), and the remaining
addresses in the Flash block, can be activated for protection. The Flash locations of these protectable
regions are shown in Table 2-3. The higher address region of Flash block 0 is mainly targeted to hold the
boot loader code because it covers the vector space. The lower address region of any Flash block can be
used for EEPROM emulation in an MCU without an EEPROM module because it can remain unprotected
while the remaining addresses are protected from program or erase.
Security information that allows the MCU to restrict access to the Flash module is stored in the Flash
configuration field found in Flash block 0, described in Table 2-2.

The Flash module also contains a set of 16 control and status registers located in address space module
base + 0x0000 to module base + 0x000F. In order to accommodate more than one Flash block with a
minimum register address space, a set of registers located from module base + 0x0004 to module
base + 0x000B are repeated in all banks. The active register bank is selected by the BKSEL bits in the
unbanked Flash configuration register (FCNFG). A summary of these registers is given in Table 2-4 while
their accessibility in normal and special modes is detailed in Section 2.3.2, “Register Descriptions”.

CBEIF Command Buffer Empty Interrupt Flag — The CBEIF flag indicates that the address, data and command
buffers are empty so that a new command write sequence can be started. The CBEIF flag is cleared by writing
a 1 to CBEIF. Writing a 0 to the CBEIF flag has no effect on CBEIF. Writing a 0 to CBEIF after writing an aligned
word to the Flash address space but before CBEIF is cleared will abort a command write sequence and cause
the ACCERR flag to be set. Writing a 0 to CBEIF outside of a command write sequence will not set the ACCERR
flag. The CBEIF flag is used together with the CBEIE bit in the FCNFG register to generate an interrupt request
(see Figure 2-30).
0 Buffers are full.
1 Buffers are ready to accept a new command.
6
CCIF Command Complete Interrupt Flag —TheCCIF flag indicates that thereareno more commands pending.The
CCIF flag is cleared when CBEIF is clear and sets automatically upon completion of all active and pending
commands. The CCIF flag does not set when an active commands completes and a pending command is
fetched from the command buffer. Writing to the CCIF flag has no effect on CCIF. The CCIF flag is used together
with the CCIE bit in the FCNFG register to generate an interrupt request (see Figure 2-30).
0 Command in progress.
1 All commands are completed.
5
PVIOL Protection Violation Flag — The PVIOL flag indicates an attempt was made to program or erase an address
in a protected area of the Flash block during a command write sequence. The PVIOL flag is cleared by writing a
1 to PVIOL. Writing a 0 to the PVIOL flag has no effect on PVIOL. While PVIOL is set in any of the banked FTSAT
registers, it is not possible to launch a command or start a command write sequence in any of the Flash blocks.
0 No failure.
1 A protection violation has occurred.
4
ACCERR Access Error Flag — The ACCERR flag indicates an illegal access to the Flash array caused by either a
violation of the command write sequence, issuing an illegal command (illegal combination of the CMDBx bits in
the FCMD register), launching the sector erase abort command terminating a sector erase operation early or the
execution of a CPU STOP instruction while a command is executing (CCIF = 0). The ACCERR flag is cleared by
writing a 1 to ACCERR. Writing a 0 to the ACCERR flag has no effect on ACCERR. While ACCERR is set in any
of the banked FTSAT registers, it is not possible to launch a command or start a command write sequence in any
of the Flash blocks. If ACCERR is set by an erase verify operation or a data compress operation, any buffered
command will not launch.
0 No access error detected.
1 Access error has occurred.
2
BLANK Erase Verify Operation Status Flag — When the CCIF flag is set after completion of an erase verify command,
the BLANK flag indicates the result of the erase verify operation. The BLANK flag is cleared by the Flash module
when CBEIF is cleared as part of a new valid command write sequence. Writing to the BLANK flag has no effect
on BLANK.
0 Flash block verified as not erased.
1 Flash block verified as erased.
1
FAIL Flag Indicating a Failed Flash Operation — The FAIL flag will set if the erase verify operation fails (selected
Flash block verified as not erased). The FAIL flag is cleared by writing a 1 to FAIL. Writing a 0 to the FAIL flag
has no effect on FAIL. While FAIL is set in the current banked FTSAT register, it is not possible to launch a
command in the selected Flash block.
0 Flash operation completed without error.
1 Flash operation failed.

2.4 Functional Description
2.4.1 Flash Command Operations
Write and read operations are both used for the program, erase, erase verify, and data compress algorithms
described in this subsection. The program and erase algorithms are time controlled by a state machine
whose timebase, FCLK, is derived from the oscillator clock via a programmable divider. The command
register as well as the associated address and data registers operate as a buffer and a register (2-stage FIFO)
so that a second command along with the necessary data and address can be stored to the buffer while the
first command remains in progress. This pipelined operation allows a time optimization when
programming more than one word on a specific row in the Flash block as the high voltage generation can
be kept active in between two programming commands. The pipelined operation also allows a
simplification of command launching. Buffer empty as well as command completion are signalled by flags
in the Flash status register with interrupts generated, if enabled.

The next paragraphs describe:
1. How to write the FCLKDIV register.
2. Command write sequences used to program, erase, and verify the Flash memory.
3. Valid Flash commands.
4. Effects resulting from illegal Flash command write sequences or aborting Flash operations.
2.4.1.1 Writing the FCLKDIV Register
Prior to issuing any program, erase, erase verify, or data compress command, it is first necessary to write
the FCLKDIV register to divide the oscillator clock down to within the 150 kHz to 200 kHz range.
Because the program and erase timings are also a function of the bus clock, the FCLKDIV determination
must take this information into account.
If we define:
• FCLK as the clock of the Flash timing control block,
• Tbus as the period of the bus clock, and
• INT(x) as taking the integer part of x (e.g. INT(4.323)=4).
Then, FCLKDIV register bits PRDIV8 and FDIV[5:0] are to be set as described in Figure 2-22.
For example, if the oscillator clock frequency is 950 kHz and the bus clock frequency is 10 MHz,
FCLKDIV bits FDIV[5:0] must be set to 4 (000100) and bit PRDIV8 set to 0. The resulting FCLK
frequency is then 190 kHz. As a result, the Flash program and erase algorithm timings are increased over
the optimum target by:
CAUTION
Program and erase command execution time will increase proportionally
with the period of FCLK. Because of the impact of clock synchronization
on the accuracy of the functional timings, programming or erasing the Flash
memory cannot be performed if the bus clock runs at less than 1 MHz.
Programming or erasing the Flash memory with FCLK < 150 kHz must be
avoided. Setting FCLKDIV to a value such that FCLK < 150 kHz can
destroy the Flash memory due to overstress. Setting FCLKDIV to a value
such that (1/FCLK + Tbus) < 5µs can result in incomplete programming or
erasure of the Flash memory cells.
If the FCLKDIV register is written, the FDIVLD bit is set automatically. If the FDIVLD bit is 0, the
FCLKDIV register has not been written since the last reset. Flash commands will not be executed if the
FCLKDIV register has not been written to.

2.4.1.2 Command Write Sequence
The Flash command controller is used to supervise the command write sequence to execute program,
erase, erase verify, and data compress algorithms.
Before starting a command write sequence, the ACCERR, PVIOL, and FAIL flags must be clear in all of
the banked FSTAT registers (see Section 2.3.2.7, “Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”) and the CBEIF flag
must be tested to determine the state of the address, data, and command buffers. If the CBEIF flag is set,
indicating the buffers are empty, a new command write sequence can be started. If the CBEIF flag is clear,
indicating the buffers are not available, a new command write sequence will overwrite the contents of the
address, data, and command buffers.
A command write sequence consists of three steps which must be strictly adhered to with writes to the
Flash module not permitted between the steps. However, Flash register and array reads are allowed during
a command write sequence. A command write sequence consists of the following steps:
1. Write an aligned data word to a valid Flash array address. The address and data will be stored in
the address and data buffers, respectively. If the CBEIF flag is clear when the Flash array write
occurs, the contents of the address and data buffers will be overwritten and the CBEIF flag will be
set.
2. Write a valid command to the FCMD register.
a) For the erase verify command (see Section 2.4.1.3.1, “Erase Verify Command”), the contents
of the data buffer are ignored and all address bits in the address buffer are ignored.
b) For the data compress command (see Section 2.4.1.3.2, “Data Compress Command”), the
contents of the data buffer represents the number of consecutive words to read for data
compression and the contents of the address buffer represents the starting address.
c) For the program command (see Section 2.4.1.3.3, “Program Command”), the contents of the
data buffer will be programmed to the address specified in the address buffer with all address
bits valid.
d) For the sector erase command (see Section 2.4.1.3.4, “Sector Erase Command”), the contents
of the data buffer are ignored and address bits [9:0] contained in the address buffer are ignored.
e) For the mass erase command (see Section 2.4.1.3.5, “Mass Erase Command”), the contents of
the data buffer and address buffer are ignored.
f) For the sector erase abort command (see Section 2.4.1.3.6, “Sector Erase Abort Command”),
the contents of the data buffer and address buffer are ignored.
3. Clear the CBEIF flag by writing a 1 to CBEIF to launch the command. When the CBEIF flag is
cleared, the CCIF flag is cleared on the same bus cycle by internal hardware indicating that the
command was successfully launched. For all command write sequences except data compress and
sector erase abort, the CBEIF flag will set four bus cycles after the CCIF flag is cleared indicating
that the address, data, and command buffers are ready for a new command write sequence to begin.
For data compress and sector erase abort operations, the CBEIF flag will remain clear until the
operation completes.
A command write sequence can be aborted prior to clearing the CBEIF flag by writing a 0 to the CBEIF
flag and will result in the ACCERR flag being set.
Chapter 2 256 Kbyte Flash Module (S12FTS256K2V1)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 105
Except for the sector erase abort command, a buffered command will wait for the active operation to be
completed before being launched. The sector erase abort command is launched when the CBEIF flag is
cleared as part of a sector erase abort command write sequence. After a command is launched, the
completion of the command operation is indicated by the setting of the CCIF flag. The CCIF flag only sets
when all active and buffered commands have been completed.
2.4.1.3 Valid Flash Commands
Table 2-21 summarizes the valid Flash commands along with the effects of the commands on the Flash
block.
CAUTION
A Flash word must be in the erased state before being programmed.
Cumulative programming of bits within a Flash word is not allowed.

2.4.1.3.1 Erase Verify Command
The erase verify operation is used to confirm that a Flash block is erased. After launching the erase verify
command, the CCIF flag in the FSTAT register will set after the operation has completed unless a second
command has been buffered. The number of bus cycles required to execute the erase verify operation is
equal to the number of addresses in the Flash block plus 12 bus cycles as measured from the time the
CBEIF flag is cleared until the CCIF flag is set. The result of the erase verify operation is reflected in the
state of the BLANK flag in the FSTAT register. If the BLANK flag is set in the FSTAT register, the Flash
memory is erased.

2.4.1.3.2 Data Compress Command
The data compress command is used to check Flash code integrity by compressing data from a selected
portion of the Flash block into a signature analyzer. The starting address for the data compress operation
is defined by the address written during the command write sequence. The number of consecutive word
addresses compressed is defined by the data written during the command write sequence. The number of
words that can be compressed in a single data compress operation ranges from 1 to 16,384. After launching
the data compress command, the CCIF flag in the FSTAT register will set after the data compress
operation has completed. The number of bus cycles required to execute the data compress operation is
equal to two times the number of addresses read plus 20 bus cycles as measured from the time the CBEIF
flag is cleared until the CCIF flag is set. After the CCIF flag is set, the signature generated by the data
compress operation is available in the FDATA register. The signature in the FDATA register can be
compared to the expected signature to determine the integrity of the selected data stored in the Flash block.
If the last address of the Flash block is reached during the data compress operation, data compression will
continue with the starting address of the Flash block.
NOTE
Since the FDATA register (or data buffer) is written to as part of the data
compress operation, a command write sequence is not allowed to be
buffered behind a data compress command write sequence. The CBEIF flag
will not set after launching the data compress command to indicate that a
command must not be buffered behind it. If an attempt is made to start a new
command write sequence with a data compress operation active, the
ACCERR flag in the FSTAT register will be set. A new command write
sequence must only be started after reading the signature stored in the
FDATA register.
In order to take corrective action, it is recommended that the data compress command be executed on a
Flash sector or subset of a Flash sector. If the data compress operation on a Flash sector returns an invalid
signature, the Flash sector should be erased using the sector erase command and then reprogrammed using
the program command.
NOTE
During the data compress operation, the Flash array is read with a
sense-amp margin setting that is different from the normal array read
setting. Therefore, if the data compress operation returns an invalid
signature, the section of the Flash array compressed may still be functional.
The failing section of the Flash array could be validated using normal array
read operations.
The data compress command can be used to verify that a sector or sequential set of sectors are erased.

Data Compress Operation
The Flash module contains a 16-bit multiple-input signature register (MISR) to generate a 16-bit signature
based on selected Flash array data. The final signature, which is stored in the associated banked FDATA
register, is based on the following logic equation which is executed on every data compression cycle during
the operation:
MISR[15:0] = {MISR[14:0], ^MISR[15,4,2,1]} ^ DATA[15:0] Eqn. 2-1
where MISR is the content of the internal signature register associated with each Flash block and DATA
is the data to be compressed as shown in Figure 2-25.
Figure 2-25. 16-Bit MISR Diagram
During the data compress operation, the following steps are executed:
1. MISR is reset to 0xFFFF.
2. DATA from the selected Flash array data range is read and compressed into the MISR with address
incrementing.
3. DATA from the selected Flash array data range is read and compressed into the MISR with address
decrementing.
4. The contents of the MISR are written to the associated banked FDATA register.

2.4.1.3.3 Program Command
The program command is used to program a previously erased word in the Flash memory using an
embedded algorithm. If the word to be programmed is in a protected area of the Flash block, the PVIOL
flag in the FSTAT register will set and the program command will not launch. After the program command
has successfully launched, the CCIF flag in the FSTAT register will set after the program operation has
completed unless a second command has been buffered.

2.4.1.3.6 Sector Erase Abort Command
The sector erase abort command is used to terminate the sector erase operation so that other sectors in the
Flash block are available for read and program operations without waiting for the sector erase operation
to complete. If the sector erase abort command is launched resulting in the early termination of an active
sector erase operation, the ACCERR flag will set after the operation completes as indicated by the CCIF
flag being set. The ACCERR flag sets to inform the user that the sector may not be fully erased and a new
sector erase command must be launched before programming any location in that specific sector. If the
sector erase abort command is launched but the active sector erase operation completes normally, the
ACCERR flag will not set upon completion of the operation as indicated by the CCIF flag being set.
Therefore, if the ACCERR flag is not set after the sector erase abort command has completed, the sector
being erased when the abort command was launched is fully erased. The maximum number of cycles
required to abort a sector erase operation is equal to four FCLK periods (see Section 2.4.1.1, “Writing the
FCLKDIV Register”) plus five bus cycles as measured from the time the CBEIF flag is cleared until the
CCIF flag is set.
NOTE
Since the ACCERR bit in the FSTAT register may be set at the completion
of the sector erase abort operation, a command write sequence is not
allowed to be buffered behind a sector erase abort command write sequence.
The CBEIF flag will not set after launching the sector erase abort command
to indicate that a command must not be buffered behind it. If an attempt is
made to start a new command write sequence with a sector erase abort
operation active, the ACCERR flag in the FSTAT register will be set. A new
command write sequence may be started after clearing the ACCERR flag, if
set.
NOTE
The sector erase abort command must be used sparingly because a sector
erase operation that is aborted counts as a complete program/erase cycle.

2.4.1.4 Illegal Flash Operations
The ACCERR flag will be set during the command write sequence if any of the following illegal steps are
performed, causing the command write sequence to immediately abort:
1. Writing to a Flash address before initializing the FCLKDIV register.
2. Writing to a Flash address in the range 0x8000–0xBFFF when the PPAGE register does not select
a 16 Kbyte page in the Flash block selected by the BKSEL bit in the FCNFG register.
3. Writing to a Flash address in the range 0x4000–0x7FFF or 0xC000–0xFFFF with the BKSEL bit
in the FCNFG register not selecting Flash block 0.
4. Writing a byte or misaligned word to a valid Flash address.
5. Starting a command write sequence while a data compress operation is active.
6. Starting a command write sequence while a sector erase abort operation is active.
7. Writing a second word to a Flash address in the same command write sequence.
8. Writing to any Flash register other than FCMD after writing a word to a Flash address.
9. Writing a second command to the FCMD register in the same command write sequence.
10. Writing an invalid command to the FCMD register.
11. When security is enabled, writing a command other than mass erase to the FCMD register when
the write originates from a non-secure memory location or from the Background Debug Mode.
12. Writing to any Flash register other than FSTAT (to clear CBEIF) after writing to the FCMD
register.
13. Writing a 0 to the CBEIF flag in the FSTAT register to abort a command write sequence.
The ACCERR flag will not be set if any Flash register is read during a valid command write sequence.
The ACCERR flag will also be set if any of the following events occur:
1. Launching the sector erase abort command while a sector erase operation is active which results in
the early termination of the sector erase operation (see Section 2.4.1.3.6, “Sector Erase Abort
Command”)
2. The MCU enters stop mode and a program or erase operation is in progress. The operation is
aborted immediately and any pending command is purged (see Section 2.5.2, “Stop Mode”).
If the Flash memory is read during execution of an algorithm (i.e., CCIF flag in the FSTAT register is low),
the read operation will return invalid data and the ACCERR flag will not be set.
If the ACCERR flag is set in any of the banked FSTAT registers, the user must clear the ACCERR flag in
all of the banked FSTAT registers before starting another command write sequence (see Section 2.3.2.7,
“Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”).
The PVIOL flag will be set after the command is written to the FCMD register during a command write
sequence if any of the following illegal operations are attempted, causing the command write sequence to
immediately abort:
1. Writing the program command if the address written in the command write sequence was in a
protected area of the Flash memory.
2. Writing the sector erase command if the address written in the command write sequence was in a
protected area of the Flash memory.
Chapter 2 256 Kbyte Flash Module (S12FTS256K2V1)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
116 Freescale Semiconductor
3. Writing the mass erase command while any Flash protection is enabled.
If the PVIOL flag is set in any of the banked FSTAT registers, the user must clear the PVIOL flag in all
of the banked FSTAT registers before starting another command write sequence (see Section 2.3.2.7,
“Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”).
2.5 Operating Modes
2.5.1 Wait Mode
If a command is active (CCIF = 0) when the MCU enters wait mode, the active command and any buffered
command will be completed.
The Flash module can recover the MCU from wait mode if the CBEIF and CCIF interrupts are enabled
(Section 2.8, “Interrupts”).
2.5.2 Stop Mode
If a command is active (CCIF = 0) when the MCU enters stop mode, the operation will be aborted and, if
the operation is program or erase, the Flash array data being programmed or erased may be corrupted and
the CCIF and ACCERR flags will be set. If active, the high voltage circuitry to the Flash memory will
immediately be switched off when entering stop mode. Upon exit from stop mode, the CBEIF flag is set
and any buffered command will not be launched. The ACCERR flag must be cleared before starting a
command write sequence (see Section 2.4.1.2, “Command Write Sequence”).
NOTE
As active commands are immediately aborted when the MCU enters stop
mode, it is strongly recommended that the user does not use the STOP
instruction during program or erase operations.
2.5.3 Background Debug Mode
In background debug mode (BDM), the FPROT register is writable. If the MCU is unsecured, then all
Flash commands listed in Table 2-21 can be executed.
2.6 Flash Module Security
The Flash module provides the necessary security information to the MCU. After each reset, the Flash
module determines the security state of the MCU as defined in Section 2.3.2.2, “Flash Security Register
(FSEC)”.
The contents of the Flash security byte at 0xFF0F in the Flash configuration field must be changed directly
by programming 0xFF0F when the MCU is unsecured and the higher address sector is unprotected. If the
Flash security byte remains in a secured state, any reset will cause the MCU to initialize to a secure
operating mode.

2.6.1 Unsecuring the MCU using Backdoor Key Access
The MCU may be unsecured by using the backdoor key access feature which requires knowledge of the
contents of the backdoor keys (four 16-bit words programmed at addresses 0xFF00–0xFF07). If the
KEYEN[1:0] bits are in the enabled state (see Section 2.3.2.2, “Flash Security Register (FSEC)”) and the
KEYACC bit is set, a write to a backdoor key address in the Flash memory triggers a comparison between
the written data and the backdoor key data stored in the Flash memory. If all four words of data are written
to the correct addresses in the correct order and the data matches the backdoor keys stored in the Flash
memory, the MCU will be unsecured. The data must be written to the backdoor keys sequentially starting
with 0xFF00–0xFF01 and ending with 0xFF06–0xFF07. 0x0000 and 0xFFFF are not permitted as
backdoor keys. While the KEYACC bit is set, reads of the Flash memory will return invalid data.
The user code stored in the Flash memory must have a method of receiving the backdoor key from an
external stimulus. This external stimulus would typically be through one of the on-chip serial ports.
If the KEYEN[1:0] bits are in the enabled state (see Section 2.3.2.2, “Flash Security Register (FSEC)”),
the MCU can be unsecured by the backdoor access sequence described below:
1. Set the KEYACC bit in the Flash configuration register (FCNFG).
2. Write the correct four 16-bit words to Flash addresses 0xFF00–0xFF07 sequentially starting with
0xFF00.
3. Clear the KEYACC bit.
4. If all four 16-bit words match the backdoor keys stored in Flash addresses 0xFF00–0xFF07, the
MCU is unsecured and the SEC[1:0] bits in the FSEC register are forced to the unsecure state of
1:0.
The backdoor key access sequence is monitored by an internal security state machine. An illegal operation
during the backdoor key access sequence will cause the security state machine to lock, leaving the MCU
in the secured state. A reset of the MCU will cause the security state machine to exit the lock state and
allow a new backdoor key access sequence to be attempted. The following operations during the backdoor
key access sequence will lock the security state machine:
1. If any of the four 16-bit words does not match the backdoor keys programmed in the Flash array.
2. If the four 16-bit words are written in the wrong sequence.
3. If more than four 16-bit words are written.
4. If any of the four 16-bit words written are 0x0000 or 0xFFFF.
5. If the KEYACC bit does not remain set while the four 16-bit words are written.
6. If any two of the four 16-bit words are written on successive MCU clock cycles.
After the backdoor keys have been correctly matched, the MCU will be unsecured. After the MCU is
unsecured, the Flash security byte can be programmed to the unsecure state, if desired.
In the unsecure state, the user has full control of the contents of the backdoor keys by programming
addresses 0xFF00–0xFF07 in the Flash configuration field.
The security as defined in the Flash security byte (0xFF0F) is not changed by using the backdoor key
access sequence to unsecure. The backdoor keys stored in addresses 0xFF00–0xFF07 are unaffected by
the backdoor key access sequence. After the next reset of the MCU, the security state of the Flash module
Chapter 2 256 Kbyte Flash Module (S12FTS256K2V1)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
118 Freescale Semiconductor
is determined by the Flash security byte (0xFF0F). The backdoor key access sequence has no effect on the
program and erase protections defined in the Flash protection register.
It is not possible to unsecure the MCU in special single-chip mode by using the backdoor key access
sequence via the background debug mode (BDM).
2.6.2 Unsecuring the Flash Module in Special Single-Chip Mode using
BDM
The MCU can be unsecured in special single-chip mode by erasing the Flash module by the following
method :
• Reset the MCU into special single-chip mode, delay while the erase test is performed by the BDM
secure ROM, send BDM commands to disable protection in the Flash module, and execute a mass
erase command write sequence to erase the Flash memory.
After the CCIF flag sets to indicate that the mass operation has completed, reset the MCU into special
single-chip mode. The BDM secure ROM will verify that the Flash memory is erased and will assert the
UNSEC bit in the BDM status register. This BDM action will cause the MCU to override the Flash security
state and the MCU will be unsecured. All BDM commands will be enabled and the Flash security byte
may be programmed to the unsecure state by the following method:
• Send BDM commands to execute a word program sequence to program the Flash security byte to
the unsecured state and reset the MCU.
2.7 Resets
2.7.1 Flash Reset Sequence
On each reset, the Flash module executes a reset sequence to hold CPU activity while loading the following
registers from the Flash memory according to Table 2-2:
• FPROT — Flash Protection Register (see Section 2.3.2.5).
• FCTL — Flash Control Register (see Section 2.3.2.9).
• FSEC — Flash Security Register (see Section 2.3.2.2).
2.7.2 Reset While Flash Command Active
If a reset occurs while any Flash command is in progress, that command will be immediately aborted. The
state of the word being programmed or the sector / block being erased is not guaranteed.
2.8 Interrupts
The Flash module can generate an interrupt when all Flash command operations have completed, when the
Flash address, data, and command buffers are empty.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 119
NOTE
Vector addresses and their relative interrupt priority are determined at the
MCU level.
2.8.1 Description of Flash Interrupt Operation
The logic used for generating interrupts is shown in Figure 2-30.
The Flash module uses the CBEIF and CCIF flags in combination with the CBIE and CCIE enable bits to
generate the Flash command interrupt request.
Figure 2-30. Flash Interrupt Implementation
For a detailed description of the register bits, refer to Section 2.3.2.4, “Flash Configuration Register
(FCNFG)” and Section 2.3.2.7, “Flash Status Register (FSTAT)”.

disabled).
3.3.1.1 Port AD I/O Register (PTAD)
Read: Anytime. Write: Anytime.
If the data direction bit of the associated I/O pin (DDRADx) is set to 1 (output), a write to the
corresponding I/O Register bit sets the value to be driven to the Port AD pin. If the data direction bit of the
associated I/O pin (DDRADx) is set to 0 (input), a write to the corresponding I/O Register bit takes place
but has no effect on the Port AD pin.
If the associated data direction bit (DDRADx) is set to 1 (output), a read returns the value of the I/O register
bit.
If the associated data direction bit (DDRADx) is set to 0 (input) and the associated ATDDIEN0(1) bit is
set to 0 (digital input buffer is disabled), the associated I/O register bit (PTADx) reads “1”.
If the associated data direction bit (DDRADx) is set to 0 (input) and the associated ATDDIEN0(1) bit is
set to 1 (digital input buffer is enabled), a read returns the value of the pin.

3.4 Functional Description
Each pin associated with ports AD, M, P, Q, S, T and U can act as general-purpose I/O. In addition the pin
can act as an output from a peripheral module or an input to a peripheral module.
A set of configuration registers is common to all ports. All registers can be written at any time, however a
specific configuration might not become active.
Example: Selecting a pull-up resistor. This resistor does not become active while the port is used
as a push-pull output.
3.4.1 I/O Register
The I/O Register holds the value driven out to the pin if the port is used as a general-purpose I/O. Writing
to the I/O Register only has an effect on the pin if the port is used as general-purpose output.
When reading the I/O Register, the value of each pin is returned if the corresponding Data Direction
Register bit is set to 0 (pin configured as input). If the data direction register bits is set to 1, the content of
the I/O Register bit is returned. This is independent of any other configuration (Figure 3-49).
Due to internal synchronization circuits, it can take up to 2 bus cycles until the correct value is read on the
I/O Register when changing the data direction register.
3.4.2 Input Register
The Input Register is a read-only register and generally returns the value of the pin (Figure 3-49). It can
be used to detect overload or short circuit conditions.
Due to internal synchronization circuits, it can take up to 2 bus cycles until the correct value is read on the
Input Register when changing the Data Direction Register.
3.4.3 Data Direction Register
The Data Direction Register defines whether the pin is used as an input or an output. A Data Direction
Register bit set to 0 configures the pin as an input. A Data Direction Register bit set to 0 configures the pin
as an output. If a peripheral module controls the pin the contents of the data direction register is ignored
(Figure 3-49).

3.6 Interrupts
3.6.1 General
Port AD generates an edge sensitive interrupt if enabled. It offers sixteen I/O pins with edge triggered
interrupt capability in wired-or fashion. The interrupt enable as well as the sensitivity to rising or falling
edges can be individually configured on per pin basis. All eight bits/pins share the same interrupt vector.
Interrupts can be used with the pins configured as inputs (with the corresponding ATDDIEN1 bit set to 1)
or outputs.
An interrupt is generated when a bit in the port interrupt flag register and its corresponding port interrupt
enable bit are both set. This external interrupt feature is capable to wake up the CPU when it is in stop or
wait mode.
A digital filter on each pin prevents pulses (Figure 3-52) shorter than a specified time from generating an
interrupt. The minimum time varies over process conditions, temperature and voltage (Figure 3-51 and
Table 3-38).

Figure 3-52. Pulse Illustration
A valid edge on an input is detected if 4 consecutive samples of a passive level are followed by 4
consecutive samples of an active level directly or indirectly
The filters are continuously clocked by the bus clock in RUN and WAIT mode. In STOP mode the clock
is generated by a single RC oscillator in the port integration module. To maximize current saving the RC
oscillator runs only if the following condition is true on any pin:
Sample count <= 4 and port interrupt enabled (PIE=1) and port interrupt flag not set (PIF=0).
3.6.2 Interrupt Sources
NOTE
Vector addresses and their relative interrupt priority are determined at the
MCU level.
3.6.3 Operation in Stop Mode
All clocks are stopped in STOP mode. The port integration module has asynchronous paths on port AD to
generate wake-up interrupts from stop mode. For other sources of external interrupts refer to the respective
block description chapters.

Clocks and Reset Generator (CRGV4) Block Description
4.1 Introduction
This specification describes the function of the clocks and reset generator (CRGV4).
4.1.1 Features
The main features of this block are:
• Phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency multiplier
— Reference divider
— Automatic bandwidth control mode for low-jitter operation
— Automatic frequency lock detector
— CPU interrupt on entry or exit from locked condition
— Self-clock mode in absence of reference clock
• System clock generator
— Clock quality check
— Clock switch for either oscillator- or PLL-based system clocks
— User selectable disabling of clocks during wait mode for reduced power consumption
• Computer operating properly (COP) watchdog timer with time-out clear window
• System reset generation from the following possible sources:
— Power-on reset
— Low voltage reset
Refer to the device overview section for availability of this feature.
— COP reset
— Loss of clock reset
— External pin reset
• Real-time interrupt (RTI)
Chapter 4 Clocks and Reset Generator (CRGV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
168 Freescale Semiconductor
4.1.2 Modes of Operation
This subsection lists and briefly describes all operating modes supported by the CRG.
• Run mode
All functional parts of the CRG are running during normal run mode. If RTI or COP functionality
is required the individual bits of the associated rate select registers (COPCTL, RTICTL) have to be
set to a nonzero value.
• Wait mode
This mode allows to disable the system and core clocks depending on the configuration of the
individual bits in the CLKSEL register.
• Stop mode
Depending on the setting of the PSTP bit, stop mode can be differentiated between full stop mode
(PSTP = 0) and pseudo-stop mode (PSTP = 1).
— Full stop mode
The oscillator is disabled and thus all system and core clocks are stopped. The COP and the
RTI remain frozen.
— Pseudo-stop mode
The oscillator continues to run and most of the system and core clocks are stopped. If the
respective enable bits are set the COP and RTI will continue to run, else they remain frozen.
• Self-clock mode
Self-clock mode will be entered if the clock monitor enable bit (CME) and the self-clock mode
enable bit (SCME) are both asserted and the clock monitor in the oscillator block detects a loss of
clock. As soon as self-clock mode is entered the CRGV4 starts to perform a clock quality check.
Self-clock mode remains active until the clock quality check indicates that the required quality of
the incoming clock signal is met (frequency and amplitude). Self-clock mode should be used for
safetypurposesonly. It providesreducedfunctionalityto the MCU in case a lossofclock is causing
severe system conditions.

4.2 External Signal Description
This section lists and describes the signals that connect off chip.
4.2.1 VDDPLL, VSSPLL — PLL Operating Voltage, PLL Ground
These pins provides operating voltage (VDDPLL) and ground (VSSPLL) for the PLL circuitry. This allows
the supply voltage to the PLL to be independently bypassed. Even if PLL usage is not required VDDPLL
and VSSPLL must be connected properly.
4.2.2 XFC — PLL Loop Filter Pin
A passive external loop filter must be placed on the XFC pin. The filter is a second-order, low-pass filter
to eliminate the VCO input ripple. The value of the external filter network and the reference frequency
determines the speed of the corrections and the stability of the PLL. Refer to the device overview chapter
for calculation of PLL loop filter (XFC) components. If PLL usage is not required the XFC pin must be
tied to VDDPLL.

4.4 Functional Description
This section gives detailed informations on the internal operation of the design.
4.4.1 Phase Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL is used to run the MCU from a different time base than the incoming OSCCLK. For increased
flexibility, OSCCLK can be divided in a range of 1 to 16 to generate the reference frequency. This offers
a finer multiplication granularity. The PLL can multiply this reference clock by a multiple of 2, 4, 6,...
126,128 based on the SYNR register.
CAUTION
Although it is possible to set the two dividers to command a very high clock
frequency, do not exceed the specified bus frequency limit for the MCU.
If (PLLSEL = 1), Bus Clock = PLLCLK / 2

The PLL is a frequency generator that operates in either acquisition mode or tracking mode, depending on
the difference between the output frequency and the target frequency. The PLL can change between
acquisition and tracking modes either automatically or manually.
The VCO has a minimum operating frequency, which corresponds to the self-clock mode frequency fSCM.
Figure 4-16. PLL Functional Diagram
4.4.1.1 PLL Operation
The oscillator output clock signal (OSCCLK) is fed through the reference programmable divider and is
divided in a range of 1 to 16 (REFDV+1) to output the reference clock. The VCO output clock, (PLLCLK)
is fed back through the programmable loop divider and is divided in a range of 2 to 128 in increments of
[2 x (SYNR +1)] to output the feedback clock. See Figure 4-16.
The phase detector then compares the feedback clock, with the reference clock. Correction pulses are
generated based on the phase difference between the two signals. The loop filter then slightly alters the DC
voltage on the external filter capacitor connected to XFC pin, based on the width and direction of the
correction pulse. The filter can make fast or slow corrections depending on its mode, as described in the
next subsection. The values of the external filter network and the reference frequency determine the speed
of the corrections and the stability of the PLL.
4.4.1.2 Acquisition and Tracking Modes
The lock detector compares the frequencies of the feedback clock, and the reference clock. Therefore, the
speed of the lock detector is directly proportional to the final reference frequency. The circuit determines
the mode of the PLL and the lock condition based on this comparison.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
184 Freescale Semiconductor
The PLL filter can be manually or automatically configured into one of two possible operating modes:
• Acquisition mode
In acquisition mode, the filter can make large frequency corrections to the VCO. This mode is used
at PLL start-up or when the PLL has suffered a severe noise hit and the VCO frequency is far off
the desired frequency. When in acquisition mode, the TRACK status bit is cleared in the CRGFLG
register.
• Tracking mode
In tracking mode, the filter makes only small corrections to the frequency of the VCO. PLL jitter
is much lower in tracking mode, but the response to noise is also slower. The PLL enters tracking
mode when the VCO frequency is nearly correct and the TRACK bit is set in the CRGFLG register.
The PLL can change the bandwidth or operational mode of the loop filter manually or automatically.
In automatic bandwidth control mode (AUTO = 1), the lock detector automatically switches between
acquisition and tracking modes. Automatic bandwidth control mode also is used to determine when the
PLL clock (PLLCLK) is safe to use as the source for the system and core clocks. If PLL LOCK interrupt
requests are enabled, the software can wait for an interrupt request and then check the LOCK bit. If CPU
interrupts are disabled, software can poll the LOCK bit continuously (during PLL start-up, usually) or at
periodic intervals. In either case, only when the LOCK bit is set, is the PLLCLK clock safe to use as the
source for the system and core clocks. If the PLL is selected as the source for the system and core clocks
and the LOCK bit is clear, the PLL has suffered a severe noise hit and the software must take appropriate
action, depending on the application.
The following conditions apply when the PLL is in automatic bandwidth control mode (AUTO = 1):
• The TRACK bit is a read-only indicator of the mode of the filter.
• The TRACK bit is set when the VCO frequency is within a certain tolerance, ∆trk, and is clear when
the VCO frequency is out of a certain tolerance, ∆unt.
• The LOCK bit is a read-only indicator of the locked state of the PLL.
• The LOCK bit is set when the VCO frequency is within a certain tolerance, ∆Lock, and is cleared
when the VCO frequency is out of a certain tolerance, ∆unl.
• CPU interrupts can occur if enabled (LOCKIE = 1) when the lock condition changes, toggling the
LOCK bit.
The PLL can also operate in manual mode (AUTO = 0). Manual mode is used by systems that do not
require an indicator of the lock condition for proper operation. Such systems typically operate well below
the maximum system frequency (fsys) and require fast start-up. The following conditions apply when in
manual mode:
• ACQ is a writable control bit that controls the mode of the filter. Before turning on the PLL in
manual mode, the ACQ bit should be asserted to configure the filter in acquisition mode.
• After turning on the PLL by setting the PLLON bit software must wait a given time (tacq) before
entering tracking mode (ACQ = 0).
• After entering tracking mode software must wait a given time (tal) before selecting the PLLCLK
as the source for system and core clocks (PLLSEL = 1).

4.4.2 System Clocks Generator
Figure 4-17. System Clocks Generator
The clock generator creates the clocks used in the MCU (see Figure 4-17). The gating condition placed on
top of the individual clock gates indicates the dependencies of different modes (stop, wait) and the setting
of the respective configuration bits.
The peripheral modules use the bus clock. Some peripheral modules also use the oscillator clock. The
memory blocks use the bus clock. If the MCU enters self-clock mode (see Section 4.4.7.2, “Self-Clock
Mode”), oscillator clock source is switched to PLLCLK running at its minimum frequency fSCM. The bus
clock is used to generate the clock visible at the ECLK pin. The core clock signal is the clock for the CPU.
The core clock is twice the bus clock as shown in Figure 4-18. But note that a CPU cycle corresponds to
one bus clock.
PLL clock mode is selected with PLLSEL bit in the CLKSEL register. When selected, the PLL output
clock drives SYSCLK for the main system including the CPU and peripherals. The PLL cannot be turned
off by clearing the PLLON bit, if the PLL clock is selected. When PLLSEL is changed, it takes a maximum

4.4.3 Clock Monitor (CM)
If no OSCCLK edges are detected within a certain time, the clock monitor within the oscillator block
generates a clock monitor fail event. The CRGV4 then asserts self-clock mode or generates a system reset
depending on the state of SCME bit. If the clock monitor is disabled or the presence of clocks is detected
no failure is indicated by the oscillator block.The clock monitor function is enabled/disabled by the CME
control bit.
4.4.4 Clock Quality Checker
The clock monitor performs a coarse check on the incoming clock signal. The clock quality checker
provides a more accurate check in addition to the clock monitor.
A clock quality check is triggered by any of the following events:
• Power-on reset (POR)
• Low voltage reset (LVR)
• Wake-up from full stop mode (exit full stop)
• Clock monitor fail indication (CM fail)
A time window of 50000 VCO clock cycles1 is called check window.
A number greater equal than 4096 rising OSCCLK edges within a check window is called osc ok. Note that
osc ok immediately terminates the current check window. See Figure 4-19 as an example.

4.4.5 Computer Operating Properly Watchdog (COP)
Figure 4-21. Clock Chain for COP
The COP (free running watchdog timer) enables the user to check that a program is running and
sequencing properly. The COP is disabled out of reset. When the COP is being used, software is
responsible for keeping the COP from timing out. If the COP times out it is an indication that the software
is no longer being executed in the intended sequence; thus a system reset is initiated (see Section 4.5.2,
“Computer Operating Properly Watchdog (COP) Reset).” The COP runs with a gated OSCCLK (see
Section Figure 4-21., “Clock Chain for COP”). Three control bits in the COPCTL register allow selection
of seven COP time-out periods.
When COP is enabled, the program must write 0x0055 and 0x00AA (in this order) to the ARMCOP
register during the selected time-out period. As soon as this is done, the COP time-out period is restarted.
If the program fails to do this and the COP times out, the part will reset. Also, if any value other than
0x0055 or 0x00AA is written, the part is immediately reset.
Windowed COP operation is enabled by setting WCOP in the COPCTL register. In this mode, writes to
the ARMCOP register to clear the COP timer must occur in the last 25% of the selected time-out period.
A premature write will immediately reset the part.
If PCE bit is set, the COP will continue to run in pseudo-stop mode.

4.4.6 Real-Time Interrupt (RTI)
The RTI can be used to generate a hardware interrupt at a fixed periodic rate. If enabled (by setting
RTIE=1), this interrupt will occur at the rate selected by the RTICTL register. The RTI runs with a gated
OSCCLK (see Section Figure 4-22., “Clock Chain for RTI”). At the end of the RTI time-out period the
RTIF flag is set to 1 and a new RTI time-out period starts immediately.
A write to the RTICTL register restarts the RTI time-out period.
If the PRE bit is set, the RTI will continue to run in pseudo-stop mode.

running at minimum operating frequency; this mode of operation is called self-clock mode. This requires
CME = 1 and SCME = 1. If the MCU was clocked by the PLL clock prior to entering self-clock mode, the
PLLSEL bit will be cleared. If the external clock signal has stabilized again, the CRG will automatically
select OSCCLK to be the system clock and return to normal mode. See Section 4.4.4, “Clock Quality
Checker” for more information on entering and leaving self-clock mode.
NOTE
In order to detect a potential clock loss, the CME bit should be always
enabled (CME=1).
If CME bit is disabled and the MCU is configured to run on PLL clock
(PLLCLK), a loss of external clock (OSCCLK) will not be detected and will
cause the system clock to drift towards the VCO’s minimum frequency
fSCM. As soon as the external clock is available again the system clock
ramps up to its PLL target frequency. If the MCU is running on external
clock any loss of clock will cause the system to go static.
4.4.8 Low-Power Operation in Run Mode
The RTI can be stopped by setting the associated rate select bits to 0.
The COP can be stopped by setting the associated rate select bits to 0.
4.4.9 Low-Power Operation in Wait Mode
The WAI instruction puts the MCU in a low power consumption stand-by mode depending on setting of
the individual bits in the CLKSEL register. All individual wait mode configuration bits can be superposed.
This provides enhanced granularity in reducing the level of power consumption during wait mode.
Table 4-10 lists the individual configuration bits and the parts of the MCU that are affected in wait mode.
After executing the WAI instruction the core requests the CRG to switch MCU into wait mode. The CRG
then checks whether the PLLWAI, CWAI and SYSWAI bits are asserted (see Figure 4-23). Depending on
the configuration the CRG switches the system and core clocks to OSCCLK by clearing the PLLSEL bit,
disables the PLL, disables the core clocks and finally disables the remaining system clocks. As soon as all
clocks are switched off wait mode is active.

There are five different scenarios for the CRG to restart the MCU from wait mode:
• External reset
• Clock monitor reset
• COP reset
• Self-clock mode interrupt
• Real-time interrupt (RTI)
If the MCU gets an external reset during wait mode active, the CRG asynchronously restores all
configuration bits in the register space to its default settings and starts the reset generator. After completing
the reset sequence processing begins by fetching the normal reset vector. Wait mode is exited and the MCU
is in run mode again.
If the clock monitor is enabled (CME=1) the MCU is able to leave wait mode when loss of
oscillator/external clock is detected by a clock monitor fail. If the SCME bit is not asserted the CRG
generates a clock monitor fail reset (CMRESET). The CRG’s behavior for CMRESET is the same
compared to external reset, but another reset vector is fetched after completion of the reset sequence. If the
SCME bit is asserted the CRG generates a SCM interrupt if enabled (SCMIE=1). After generating the
interrupt the CRG enters self-clock mode and starts the clock quality checker (see Section 4.4.4, “Clock
Quality Checker”). Then the MCU continues with normal operation.If the SCM interrupt is blocked by
SCMIE = 0, the SCMIF flag will be asserted and clock quality checks will be performed but the MCU will
not wake-up from wait mode.
If any other interrupt source (e.g. RTI) triggers exit from wait mode the MCU immediately continues with
normal operation. If the PLL has been powered-down during wait mode the PLLSEL bit is cleared and the
MCU runs on OSCCLK after leaving wait mode. The software must manually set the PLLSEL bit again,
in order to switch system and core clocks to the PLLCLK.
If wait mode is entered from self-clock mode, the CRG will continue to check the clock quality until clock
check is successful. The PLL and voltage regulator (VREG) will remain enabled.
Table 4-11 summarizes the outcome of a clock loss while in wait mode.

4.4.10 Low-Power Operation in Stop Mode
All clocks are stopped in STOP mode, dependent of the setting of the PCE, PRE and PSTP bit. The
oscillator is disabled in STOP mode unless the PSTP bit is set. All counters and dividers remain frozen but
do not initialize. If the PRE or PCE bits are set, the RTI or COP continues to run in pseudo-stop mode. In
addition to disabling system and core clocks the CRG requests other functional units of the MCU (e.g.
voltage-regulator) to enter their individual power-saving modes (if available). This is the main difference
between pseudo-stop mode and wait mode.
After executing the STOP instruction the core requests the CRG to switch the MCU into stop mode. If the
PLLSEL bit remains set when entering stop mode, the CRG will switch the system and core clocks to
OSCCLK by clearing the PLLSEL bit. Then the CRG disables the PLL, disables the core clock and finally
disables the remaining system clocks. As soon as all clocks are switched off, stop mode is active.
If pseudo-stop mode (PSTP = 1) is entered from self-clock mode the CRG will continue to check the clock
quality until clock check is successful. The PLL and the voltage regulator (VREG) will remain enabled. If
full stop mode (PSTP = 0) is entered from self-clock mode an ongoing clock quality check will be stopped.
A complete timeout window check will be started when stop mode is exited again.
Wake-up from stop mode also depends on the setting of the PSTP bit.

If the MCU gets an external reset during pseudo-stop mode active, the CRG asynchronously restores all
configuration bits in the register space to its default settings and starts the reset generator. After completing
the reset sequence processing begins by fetching the normal reset vector. Pseudo-stop mode is exited and
the MCU is in run mode again.
If the clock monitor is enabled (CME = 1) the MCU is able to leave pseudo-stop mode when loss of

4.4.10.2 Wake-up from Full Stop (PSTP=0)
The MCU requires an external interrupt or an external reset in order to wake-up from stop mode.
If the MCU gets an external reset during full stop mode active, the CRG asynchronously restores all
configuration bits in the register space to its default settings and will perform a maximum of 50 clock
check_windows (see Section 4.4.4, “Clock Quality Checker”). After completing the clock quality check
the CRG starts the reset generator. After completing the reset sequence processing begins by fetching the
normal reset vector. Full stop mode is exited and the MCU is in run mode again.
If the MCU is woken-up by an interrupt, the CRG will also perform a maximum of 50 clock
check_windows (see Section 4.4.4, “Clock Quality Checker”). If the clock quality check is successful, the
CRG will release all system and core clocks and will continue with normal operation. If all clock checks
within the timeout-window are failing, the CRG will switch to self-clock mode or generate a clock monitor
reset (CMRESET) depending on the setting of the SCME bit.
Because the PLL has been powered-down during stop mode the PLLSEL bit is cleared and the MCU runs
on OSCCLK after leaving stop mode. The software must manually set the PLLSEL bit again, in order to
switch system and core clocks to the PLLCLK.
NOTE
In full stop mode, the clock monitor is disabled and any loss of clock will
not be detected.
4.5 Resets
This section describes how to reset the CRGV4 and how the CRGV4 itself controls the reset of the MCU.
It explains all special reset requirements. Because the reset generator for the MCU is part of the CRG, this
section also describes all automatic actions that occur during or as a result of individual reset conditions.
The reset values of registers and signals are provided in Section 4.3, “Memory Map and Register

Definition.” All reset sources are listed in Table 4-13. Refer to the device overview chapter for related
vector addresses and priorities.
The reset sequence is initiated by any of the following events:
• Low level is detected at the RESET pin (external reset).
• Power on is detected.
• Low voltage is detected.
• COP watchdog times out.
• Clock monitor failure is detected and self-clock mode was disabled (SCME = 0).
Upon detection of any reset event, an internal circuit drives the RESET pin low for 128 SYSCLK cycles
(see Figure 4-25). Because entry into reset is asynchronous it does not require a running SYSCLK.
However, the internal reset circuit of the CRGV4 cannot sequence out of current reset condition without a
running SYSCLK. The number of 128 SYSCLK cycles might be increased by n = 3 to 6 additional
SYSCLK cycles depending on the internal synchronization latency. After 128+n SYSCLK cycles the
RESET pin is released. The reset generator of the CRGV4 waits for additional 64 SYSCLK cycles and
then samples the RESET pin to determine the originating source. Table 4-14 shows which vector will be
fetched.
NOTE
External circuitry connected to the RESET pin should not include a large
capacitance that would interfere with the ability of this signal to rise to a
valid logic 1 within 64 SYSCLK cycles after the low drive is released.

The internal reset of the MCU remains asserted while the reset generator completes the 192 SYSCLK long
reset sequence. The reset generator circuitry always makes sure the internal reset is deasserted
synchronously after completion of the 192 SYSCLK cycles. In case the RESET pin is externally driven
low for more than these 192 SYSCLK cycles (external reset), the internal reset remains asserted too.
Figure 4-25. RESET Timing
4.5.1 Clock Monitor Reset
The CRGV4 generates a clock monitor reset in case all of the following conditions are true:
• Clock monitor is enabled (CME=1)
• Loss of clock is detected
• Self-clock mode is disabled (SCME=0)
The reset event asynchronously forces the configuration registers to their default settings (see Section 4.3,
“Memory Map and Register Definition”). In detail the CME and the SCME are reset to logical ‘1’ (which
doesn’t change the state of the CME bit, because it has already been set). As a consequence, the CRG
immediately enters self-clock mode and starts its internal reset sequence. In parallel the clock quality
check starts. As soon as clock quality check indicates a valid oscillator clock the CRG switches to
OSCCLK and leaves self-clock mode. Because the clock quality checker is running in parallel to the reset
generator, the CRG may leave self-clock mode while completing the internal reset sequence. When the
reset sequence is finished the CRG checks the internally latched state of the clock monitor fail circuit. If a
clock monitor fail is indicated processing begins by fetching the clock monitor reset vector.
4.5.2 Computer Operating Properly Watchdog (COP) Reset
When COP is enabled, the CRG expects sequential write of 0x0055 and 0x00AA (in this order) to the
ARMCOP register during the selected time-out period. As soon as this is done, the COP time-out period
restarts. If the program fails to do this the CRG will generate a reset. Also, if any value other than 0x0055
or 0x00AA is written, the CRG immediately generates a reset. In case windowed COP operation is enabled

writes (0x0055 or 0x00AA) to the ARMCOP register must occur in the last 25% of the selected time-out
period. A premature write the CRG will immediately generate a reset.
As soon as the reset sequence is completed the reset generator checks the reset condition. If no clock
monitor failure is indicated and the latched state of the COP timeout is true, processing begins by fetching
the COP vector.
4.5.3 Power-On Reset, Low Voltage Reset
The on-chip voltage regulator detects when VDD to the MCU has reached a certain level and asserts
power-on reset or low voltage reset or both. As soon as a power-on reset or low voltage reset is triggered
the CRG performs a quality check on the incoming clock signal. As soon as clock quality check indicates
a valid oscillator clock signal the reset sequence starts using the oscillator clock. If after 50 check windows
the clock quality check indicated a non-valid oscillator clock the reset sequence starts using self-clock
mode.
Figure 4-26 and Figure 4-27 show the power-up sequence for cases when the RESET pin is tied to VDD
and when the RESET pin is held low.

4.6 Interrupts
The interrupts/reset vectors requested by the CRG are listed in Table 4-15. Refer to the device overview
chapter for related vector addresses and priorities.
4.6.1 Real-Time Interrupt
The CRGV4 generates a real-time interrupt when the selected interrupt time period elapses. RTI interrupts
are locally disabled by setting the RTIE bit to 0. The real-time interrupt flag (RTIF) is set to 1 when a
timeout occurs, and is cleared to 0 by writing a 1 to the RTIF bit.
The RTI continues to run during pseudo-stop mode if the PRE bit is set to 1. This feature can be used for
periodic wakeup from pseudo-stop if the RTI interrupt is enabled.
4.6.2 PLL Lock Interrupt
The CRGV4 generates a PLL lock interrupt when the LOCK condition of the PLL has changed, either
from a locked state to an unlocked state or vice versa. Lock interrupts are locally disabled by setting the
LOCKIE bit to 0. The PLL Lock interrupt flag (LOCKIF) is set to1 when the LOCK condition has
changed, and is cleared to 0 by writing a 1 to the LOCKIF bit.
4.6.3 Self-Clock Mode Interrupt
The CRGV4 generates a self-clock mode interrupt when the SCM condition of the system has changed,
either entered or exited self-clock mode. SCM conditions can only change if the self-clock mode enable
bit (SCME) is set to 1. SCM conditions are caused by a failing clock quality check after power-on reset
(POR) or low voltage reset (LVR) or recovery from full stop mode (PSTP = 0) or clock monitor failure.
For details on the clock quality check refer to Section 4.4.4, “Clock Quality Checker.” If the clock monitor
is enabled (CME = 1) a loss of external clock will also cause a SCM condition (SCME = 1).
SCM interrupts are locally disabled by setting the SCMIE bit to 0. The SCM interrupt flag (SCMIF) is set
to 1 when the SCM condition has changed, and is cleared to 0 by writing a 1 to the SCMIF bit.

Oscillator (OSCV2) Block Description
5.1 Introduction
The OSCV2 module provides two alternative oscillator concepts:
• A low noise and low power Colpitts oscillator with amplitude limitation control (ALC)
• A robust full swing Pierce oscillator with the possibility to feed in an external square wave
5.1.1 Features
The Colpitts OSCV2 option provides the following features:
• Amplitude limitation control (ALC) loop:
— Low power consumption and low current induced RF emission
— Sinusoidal waveform with low RF emission
— Low crystal stress (an external damping resistor is not required)
— Normal and low amplitude mode for further reduction of power and emission
• An external biasing resistor is not required
The Pierce OSC option provides the following features:
• Wider high frequency operation range
• No DC voltage applied across the crystal
• Full rail-to-rail (2.5 V nominal) swing oscillation with low EM susceptibility
• Fast start up
Common features:
• Clock monitor (CM)
• Operation from the VDDPLL 2.5 V (nominal) supply rail
5.1.2 Modes of Operation
Two modes of operation exist:
• Amplitude limitation controlled Colpitts oscillator mode suitable for power and emission critical
applications
• Full swing Pierce oscillator mode that can also be used to feed in an externally generated square
wave suitable for high frequency operation and harsh environments

5.2 External Signal Description
This section lists and describes the signals that connect off chip.
5.2.1 VDDPLL and VSSPLL — PLL Operating Voltage, PLL Ground
These pins provide the operating voltage (VDDPLL) and ground (VSSPLL) for the OSCV2 circuitry. This
allows the supply voltage to the OSCV2 to be independently bypassed.
5.2.2 EXTAL and XTAL — Clock/Crystal Source Pins
These pins provide the interface for either a crystal or a CMOS compatible clock to control the internal
clock generator circuitry. EXTAL is the external clock input or the input to the crystal oscillator amplifier.
XTAL is the output of the crystal oscillator amplifier. All the MCU internal system clocks are derived from
the EXTAL input frequency. In full stop mode (PSTP = 0) the EXTAL pin is pulled down by an internal
resistor of typical 200 kΩ.
NOTE
Freescale Semiconductor recommends an evaluation of the application
board and chosen resonator or crystal by the resonator or crystal supplier.
The Crystal circuit is changed from standard.
The Colpitts circuit is not suited for overtone resonators and crystals.

5.3 Memory Map and Register Definition
The CRG contains the registers and associated bits for controlling and monitoring the OSCV2 module.
5.4 Functional Description
The OSCV2 block has two external pins, EXTAL and XTAL. The oscillator input pin, EXTAL, is intended
to be connected to either a crystal or an external clock source. The selection of Colpitts oscillator or Pierce
oscillator/external clock depends on the XCLKS signal which is sampled during reset. The XTAL pin is
an output signal that provides crystal circuit feedback.
A buffered EXTAL signal, OSCCLK, becomes the internal reference clock. To improve noise immunity,
the oscillator is powered by the VDDPLL and VSSPLL power supply pins.
The Pierce oscillator can be used for higher frequencies compared to the low power Colpitts oscillator.
5.4.1 Amplitude Limitation Control (ALC)
The Colpitts oscillator is equipped with a feedback system which does not waste current by generating
harmonics. Its configuration is “Colpitts oscillator with translated ground.” The transconductor used is
driven by a current source under the control of a peak detector which will measure the amplitude of the
AC signal appearing on EXTAL node in order to implement an amplitude limitation control (ALC) loop.
The ALC loop is in charge of reducingthe quiescent current in the transconductor as a result of an increase
in the oscillation amplitude. The oscillation amplitude can be limited to two values. The normal amplitude
which is intended for non power saving modes and a small amplitude which is intended for low power
operation modes. Please refer to the CRG block description chapter for the control and assignment of the
amplitude value to operation modes.
5.4.2 Clock Monitor (CM)
The clock monitor circuit is based on an internal resistor-capacitor (RC) time delay so that it can operate
without any MCU clocks. If no OSCCLK edges are detected within this RC time delay, the clock monitor
indicates a failure which asserts self clock mode or generates a system reset depending on the state of
SCME bit. If the clock monitor is disabled or the presence of clocks is detected no failure is indicated.The
clockmonitor function is enabled/disabled by the CMEcontrolbit, described in the CRG blockdescription
chapter.
5.5 Interrupts
OSCV2 contains a clock monitor, which can trigger an interrupt or reset. The control bits and status bits
for the clock monitor are described in the CRG block description chapter.

FIFO Result Register FIFO Mode —If this bit is zero (non-FIFO mode), the A/D conversion results map into the
result registers based on the conversion sequence; the result of the first conversion appears in the first result
register, the second result in the second result register, and so on.
If this bit is one (FIFO mode) the conversion counter is not reset at the beginning or ending of a conversion
sequence; sequential conversion results are placed in consecutive result registers. In a continuously scanning
conversion sequence, the result register counter will wrap around when it reaches the end of the result register
file. The conversion counter value (CC3-0 in ATDSTAT0) can be used to determine where in the result register
file, the current conversion result will be placed.
Aborting a conversion or starting a new conversion by write to an ATDCTL register (ATDCTL5-0) clears the
conversion counter even if FIFO=1. So the first result of a new conversion sequence, started by writing to
ATDCTL5, will always be place in the first result register (ATDDDR0). Intended usage of FIFO mode is
continuos conversion (SCAN=1) or triggered conversion (ETRIG=1).
Finally,whichresult registers hold valid data can betrackedusingtheconversioncompleteflags.Fast flagclear
mode may or may not be useful in a particular application to track valid data.
0 Conversion results are placed in the corresponding result register up to the selected sequence length.
1 Conversion results are placed in consecutive result registers (wrap around at end).

may compromise the accuracy of an immediately frozen conversion depending on the length of the freeze

SMP[1:0] Sample Time Select —These two bits select the length of the second phase of the sample time in units of ATD
conversion clock cycles. Note that the ATD conversion clock period is itself a function of the prescaler value
(bits PRS4-0). The sample time consists of two phases. The first phase is two ATD conversion clock cycles
long and transfers the sample quickly (via the buffer amplifier) onto the A/D machine’s storage node. The
second phase attaches the external analog signal directly to the storage node for final charging and high
accuracy. Table 6-12 lists the lengths available for the second sample phase.

PRS[4:0] ATD Clock Prescaler — These 5 bits are the binary value prescaler value PRS. The ATD conversion clock
frequency is calculated as follows:
Note: The maximum ATD conversion clock frequency is half the bus clock. The default (after reset) prescaler
value is 5 which results in a default ATD conversion clock frequency that is bus clock divided by 12.
Table 6-13 illustrates the divide-by operation and the appropriate range of the bus clock.

This register selects the type of conversion sequence and the analog input channels sampled. Writes to this
register will abort current conversion sequence and start a new conversion sequence. If external trigger is
enabled (ETRIGE = 1) an initial write to ATDCTL5 is required to allow starting of a conversion sequence
which will then occur on each trigger event. Start of conversion means the beginning of the sampling

DSGN Result Register Data Signed or Unsigned Representation — This bit selects between signed and unsigned
conversion data representation in the result registers. Signed data is represented as 2’s complement. Signed
data is not available in right justification. See <st-bold>6.3.2.16 ATD Conversion Result Registers (ATDDRx)
for details.
0 Unsigned data representation in the result registers.
1 Signed data representation in the result registers.
Table 6-15 summarizes the result data formats available and how they are set up using the control bits.
Table 6-16 illustrates the difference between the signed and unsigned, left justified output codes for an input
signal range between 0 and 5.12 Volts.

SCAN Continuous Conversion Sequence Mode — This bit selects whether conversion sequences are performed
continuously or only once. If external trigger is enabled (ETRIGE=1) setting this bit has no effect, that means
each trigger event starts a single conversion sequence.
0 Single conversion sequence
1 Continuous conversion sequences (scan mode)
4
MULT Multi-Channel Sample Mode — When MULT is 0, the ATD sequence controller samples only from the
specified analog input channel for an entire conversion sequence. The analog channel is selected by channel
selectioncode(controlbitsCD/CC/CB/CAlocatedinATDCTL5). When MULTis1,theATDsequence controller
samplesacross channels. The numberofchannels sampled is determined bythe sequencelengthvalue(S8C,
S4C, S2C, S1C). The first analog channel examined is determined by channel selection code (CC, CB, CA
control bits); subsequent channels sampled in the sequence are determined by incrementing the channel
selection code or wrapping around to AN0 (channel 0.
0 Sample only one channel
1 Sample across several channels

C[D:A} Analog Input Channel Select Code — These bits select the analog input channel(s) whose signals are
sampled and converted to digital codes. Table 6-17 lists the coding used to select the various analog input
channels.
In the case of single channel conversions (MULT = 0), this selection code specified the channel to be examined.
In the case of multiple channel conversions (MULT = 1), this selection code represents the first channel to be
examined in the conversion sequence. Subsequent channels are determined by incrementing the channel
selection code or wrapping around to AN0 (after converting the channel defined by the Wrap Around Channel
Select Bits WRAP[3:0] in ATDCTL0). In case starting with a channel number higher than the one defined by
WRAP[3:0] the first wrap around will be AN15 to AN0.

SCF Sequence Complete Flag — This flag is set upon completion of a conversion sequence. If conversion
sequences are continuously performed (SCAN = 1), the flag is set after each one is completed. This flag is
cleared when one of the following occurs:
• Write “1” to SCF
• Write to ATDCTL5 (a new conversion sequence is started)
• If AFFC = 1 and read of a result register
0 Conversion sequence not completed
1 Conversion sequence has completed

ETORF External Trigger Overrun Flag —While in edge trigger mode (ETRIGLE = 0), if additional active edges are
detected while a conversion sequence is in process the overrun flag is set. This flag is cleared when one of the
following occurs:
• Write “1” to ETORF
• Write to ATDCTL0,1,2,3,4 (a conversion sequence is aborted)
• Write to ATDCTL5 (a new conversion sequence is started)

FIFOR FIFO Over Run Flag — This bit indicates that a result register has been written to before its associated
conversion completeflag (CCF) has beencleared. This flag ismost useful whenusingthe FIFO modebecause
the flag potentially indicates that result registers are out of sync with the input channels. However, it is also
practical for non-FIFO modes, and indicates that a result register has been over written before it has been read
(i.e., the old data has been lost). This flag is cleared when one of the following occurs:
• Write “1” to FIFOR
• Start a new conversion sequence (write to ATDCTL5 or external trigger)
0 No over run has occurred
1 Overrun condition exists (result register has been written while associated CCFx flag remained set)
3:0
CC[3:0} Conversion Counter — These 4 read-only bits are the binary value of the conversion counter. The conversion
counter points to the result register that will receive the result of the current conversion. For example, CC3 = 0,
CC2 = 1, CC1 = 1, CC0 = 0 indicates that the result of the current conversion will be in ATD Result Register 6.
If in non-FIFO mode (FIFO = 0) the conversion counter is initialized to zero at the begin and end of the
conversion sequence. If in FIFO mode (FIFO = 1) the register counter is not initialized. The conversion
counters wraps around when its maximum value is reached.
Aborting a conversion or starting a new conversion by write to an ATDCTL register (ATDCTL5-0) clears the
conversion counter even if FIFO=1.

6.4 Functional Description
The ATD10B16C is structured in an analog and a digital sub-block.
6.4.1 Analog Sub-block
The analog sub-block contains all analog electronics required to perform a single conversion. Separate
power supplies VDDA and VSSA allow to isolate noise of other MCU circuitry from the analog sub-block.
6.4.1.1 Sample and Hold Machine
The sample and hold (S/H) machine accepts analog signals from the external world and stores them as
capacitor charge on a storage node.
The sample process uses a two stage approach. During the first stage, the sample amplifier is used to
quickly charge the storage node.The second stage connects the input directly to the storage node to
complete the sample for high accuracy.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 235
When not sampling, the sample and hold machine disables its own clocks. The analog electronics continue
drawing their quiescent current. The power down (ADPU) bit must be set to disable both the digital clocks
and the analog power consumption.
The input analog signals are unipolar and must fall within the potential range of VSSA to VDDA.
6.4.1.2 Analog Input Multiplexer
The analog input multiplexer connects one of the 16 external analog input channels to the sample and hold
machine.
6.4.1.3 Sample Buffer Amplifier
The sample amplifier is used to buffer the input analog signal so that the storage node can be quickly
charged to the sample potential.
6.4.1.4 Analog-to-Digital (A/D) Machine
The A/D machine performs analog to digital conversions. The resolution is program selectable at either 8
or 10 bits. The A/D machine uses a successive approximation architecture. It functions by comparing the
stored analog sample potential with a series of digitally generated analog potentials. By following a binary
search algorithm, the A/D machine locates the approximating potential that is nearest to the sampled
potential.
When not converting the A/D machine disables its own clocks. The analog electronics continue drawing
quiescent current. The power down (ADPU) bit must be set to disable both the digital clocks and the analog
power consumption.
Only analog input signals within the potential range of VRL to VRH (A/D reference potentials) will result
in a non-railed digital output codes.
6.4.2 Digital Sub-Block
This subsection explains some of the digital features in more detail. See register descriptions for all details.
6.4.2.1 External Trigger Input
The external trigger feature allows the user to synchronize ATD conversions to the external environment
events rather than relying on software to signal the ATD module when ATD conversions are to take place.
The external trigger signal (out of reset ATD channel 15, configurable in ATDCTL1) is programmable to
be edge or level sensitive with polarity control. Table 6-27 gives a brief description of the different
combinations of control bits and their effect on the external trigger function.
Chapter 6 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ATD10B16CV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
236 Freescale Semiconductor
During a conversion, if additional active edges are detected the overrun error flag ETORF is set.
In either level or edge triggered modes, the first conversion begins when the trigger is received. In both
cases, the maximum latency time is one bus clock cycle plus any skew or delay introduced by the trigger
circuitry.
After ETRIGE is enabled, conversions cannot be started by a write to ATDCTL5, but rather must be
triggered externally.
If the level mode is active and the external trigger both de-asserts and re-asserts itself during a conversion
sequence, this does not constitute an overrun. Therefore, the flag is not set. If the trigger remains asserted
in level mode while a sequence is completing, another sequence will be triggered immediately.
6.4.2.2 General-Purpose Digital Input Port Operation
The input channel pins can be multiplexed between analog and digital data. As analog inputs, they are
multiplexed and sampled to supply signals to the A/D converter. As digital inputs, they supply external
input data that can be accessed through the digital port registers (PORTAD0 & PORTAD1) (input-only).
The analog/digital multiplex operation is performed in the input pads. The input pad is always connected
to the analog inputs of the ATD10B16C. The input pad signal is buffered to the digital port registers. This
buffer can be turned on or off with the ATDDIEN0 & ATDDIEN1 register. This is important so that the
buffer does not draw excess current when analog potentials are presented at its input.
6.4.3 Operation in Low Power Modes
The ATD10B16C can be configured for lower MCU power consumption in three different ways:
•Stop Mode
Stop Mode: This halts A/D conversion. Exit from Stop mode will resume A/D conversion, But due
to the recovery time the result of this conversion should be ignored.
Entering stop mode causes all clocks to halt and thus the system is placed in a minimum power
standby mode. This halts any conversion sequence in progress. During recovery from stop mode,
there must be a minimum delay for the stop recovery time tSR before initiating a new ATD
conversion sequence.
•Wait Mode
Wait Mode with AWAI = 1: This halts A/D conversion. Exit from Wait mode will resume A/D
conversion, but due to the recovery time the result of this conversion should be ignored.
Table 6-27. External Trigger Control Bits

1 0 1 X Trigger active low. Performs continuous conversions while trigger is active.
1 1 1 X Trigger active high. Performs continuous conversions while trigger is active.
Chapter 6 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ATD10B16CV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 237
Entering wait mode, the ATD conversion either continues or halts for low power depending on the
logical value of the AWAIT bit.
•Freeze Mode
Writing ADPU = 0 (Note that all ATD registers remain accessible.): This aborts any A/D
conversion in progress.
In freeze mode, the ATD10B16C will behave according to the logical values of the FRZ1 and FRZ0
bits. This is useful for debugging and emulation.
NOTE
The reset value for the ADPU bit is zero. Therefore, when this module is
reset, it is reset into the power down state.
6.5 Initialization/Application Information
6.5.1 Setting up and starting an A/D conversion
The following describes a typical setup procedure for starting A/D conversions. It is highly recommended
to follow this procedure to avoid common mistakes.
Each step of the procedure will have a general remark and a typical example
6.5.1.1 Step 1
Power up the ATD and concurrently define other settings in ATDCTL2
Example: Write to ATDCTL2: ADPU=1 -> powers up the ATD, ASCIE=1 enable interrupt on finish of a
conversion sequence.
6.5.1.2 Step 2
Wait for the ATD Recovery Time tREC before you proceed with Step 3.
Example: Use the CPU in a branch loop to wait for a defined number of bus clocks.
6.5.1.3 Step 3
Configure how many conversions you want to perform in one sequence and define other settings in
ATDCTL3.
Example: Write S4C=1 to do 4 conversions per sequence.
6.5.1.4 Step 4
Configure resolution, sampling time and ATD clock speed in ATDCTL4.
Example: Use default for resolution and sampling time by leaving SRES8, SMP1 and SMP0 clear. For a
bus clock of 40MHz write 9 to PR4-0, this gives an ATD clock of 0.5*40MHz/(9+1) = 2MHz which is
within the allowed range for fATDCLK.
Chapter 6 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ATD10B16CV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
238 Freescale Semiconductor
6.5.1.5 Step 5
Configure starting channel, single/multiple channel, continuous or single sequence and result data format
in ATDCTL5. Writing ATDCTL5 will start the conversion, so make sure your write ATDCTL5 in the last
step.
Example: Leave CD, CC,CB,CA clear to start on channel AN0. Write MULT=1 to convert channel AN0
to AN3 in a sequence (4 conversion per sequence selected in ATDCTL3).
6.5.2 Aborting an A/D conversion
6.5.2.1 Step 1
Write to ATDCTL4. This will abort any ongoing conversion sequence.
(Do not use write to other ATDCTL registers to abort, as this under certain circumstances might not work
correctly.)
6.5.2.2 Step 2
Disable the ATD Interrupt by writing ASCIE=0 in ATDCTL2.
It is important to clear the interrupt enable at this point, prior to step 3, as depending on the device clock
gating it may not always be possible to clear it or the SCF flag once the module is disabled (ADPU=0).
6.5.2.3 Step 3
Clear the SCF flag by writing a 1 in ATDSTAT0.
(Remaining flags will be cleared with the next start of a conversions, but SCF flag should be cleared to
avoid SCF interrupt.)
6.5.2.4 Step 4
Power down ATD by writing ADPU=0 in ATDCTL2.
6.6 Resets
At reset the ATD10B16C is in a power down state. The reset state of each individual bit is listed within
Section 6.3, “Memory Map and Register Definition,” which details the registers and their bit fields.

7.4 Functional Description
The DAC8B1C module consists of analog and digital sub-blocks.
7.4.1 Functional Description
Data to be converted is written to DACD register. The data can be mapped either to left end or right end of
DACD register by clearing or setting DJM bit of DACC0 register. Also, the data written to DACD can be
a signed or unsigned data depending on DSGN bit of DACC0 register. See Table 7-3 below for data
formats. The maximum unsigned data that can be written to DACD register is $FF while the minimum
value is $00. If the data is signed, the maximum value that can be written to DACD is $7F while the
minimum value is $80, where $7F (signed) corresponds to $FF (unsigned) and $80 (signed) corresponds
to $00 (unsigned). Table 7-4 shows this characteristic between signed, unsigned data values and their
corresponding voltage output. See Table 7-4 for DAC signed and un-signed data and DAC output codes.

Block Description
8.1 Revision History
8.2 Introduction
This block description chapter provides an overview of serial communication interface (SCI) module.
The SCI allows full duplex, asynchronous, serial communication between the CPU and remote devices,
including other CPUs. The SCI transmitter and receiver operate independently, although they use the same
baud rate generator. The CPU monitors the status of the SCI, writes the data to be transmitted, and
processes received data.

TXD: transmit pin
8.2.2 Features
The SCI includes these distinctive features:
• Full-duplex or single-wire operation
• Standard mark/space non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format
• Selectable IrDA 1.4 return-to-zero-inverted (RZI) format with programmable pulse widths
• 13-bit baud rate selection
• Programmable 8-bit or 9-bit data format
• Separately enabled transmitter and receiver
• Programmable polarity for transmitter and receiver
• Programmable transmitter output parity
• Two receiver wakeup methods:
— Idle line wakeup
— Address mark wakeup
• Interrupt-driven operation with eight flags:
— Transmitter empty
— Transmission complete
— Receiver full
— Idle receiver input
— Receiver overrun
— Noise error
— Framing error
— Parity error
• Receiver framing error detection
• Hardware parity checking
• 1/16 bit-time noise detection
8.2.3 Modes of Operation
The SCI functions the same in normal, special, and emulation modes. It has two low-power modes, wait
and stop modes.
8.2.3.1 Run Mode
Normal mode of operation.
Chapter 8 Serial Communication Interface (SCIV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 251
8.2.3.2 Wait Mode
SCI operation in wait mode depends on the state of the SCISWAI bit in the SCI control register 1
(SCICR1).
• If SCISWAI is clear, the SCI operates normally when the CPU is in wait mode.
• If SCISWAI is set, SCI clock generation ceases and the SCI module enters a power-conservation
state when the CPU is in wait mode. Setting SCISWAI does not affect the state of the receiver
enable bit, RE, or the transmitter enable bit, TE.
If SCISWAI is set, any transmission or reception in progress stops at wait mode entry. The
transmission or reception resumes when either an internal or external interrupt brings the CPU out
of wait mode. Exiting wait mode by reset aborts any transmission or reception in progress and
resets the SCI.
8.2.3.3 Stop Mode
The SCI is inactive during stop mode for reduced power consumption. The STOP instruction does not
affect the SCI register states, but the SCI bus clock will be disabled. The SCI operation resumes after an
external interrupt brings the CPU out of stop mode. Exiting stop mode by reset aborts any transmission or
reception in progress and resets the SCI.

blocks.

8.3 External Signal Descriptions
The SCI module has a total of two external pins.
8.3.1 TXD — SCI Transmit Pin
The TXD pin transmits SCI (standard or infrared) data. It will idle high in either mode and is high
impedance anytime the transmitter is disabled.
8.3.2 RXD — SCI Receive Pin
The RXD pin receives SCI (standard or infrared) data. An idle line is detected as a line high. This input is
ignored when the receiver is disabled and should be terminated to a known voltage.
8.4 Memory Map and Register Definition
This subsection provides a detailed description of all the SCI registers.
8.4.1 Module Memory Map
The memory map for the SCI module is given in Figure 8-2. The address listed for each register is the
address offset. The total address for each register is the sum of the base address for the SCI module and
the address offset for each register.

The baud rate generator is disabled after reset and not started until the TE
bit or the RE bit is set for the first time. The baud rate generator is disabled
when (SBR[12:0] = 0 and IREN = 0) or (SBR[12:1] = 0 and IREN = 1).
Writing to SCIBDH has no effect without writing to SCIBDL, because
writing to SCIBDH puts the data in a temporary location until SCIBDL is
written to.

ILT Idle Line Type Bit — ILT determines when the receiver starts counting logic 1s as idle character bits. The
counting begins either after the start bit or after the stop bit. If the count begins after the start bit, then a string of

8.4.2.4 SCI Status Register 1 (SCISR1)
The SCISR1 and SCISR2 registers provide inputs to the MCU for generation of SCI interrupts. Also, these
registers can be polled by the MCU to check the status of these bits. The flag-clearing procedures require
that the status register be read followed by a read or write to the SCI data register. It is permissible to
execute other instructions between the two steps as long as it does not compromise the handling of I/O.
Note that the order of operations is important for flag clearing.

1When the receiver wakeup bit (RWU) is set, an idle line condition does not set the IDLE flag.
2The OR flag may read back as set when RDRF flag is clear. This may happen if the following sequence of events occurs:
1. After the first frame is received, read status register SCISR1 (returns RDRF set and OR flag clear);
2. Receive second frame without reading the first frame in the data register (the second frame is not received and OR flag
is set);
3. Read data register SCIDRL (returns first frame and clears RDRF flag in the status register);
4. Read status register SCISR1 (returns RDRF clear and OR set).
Event 3 may be at exactly the same time as event 2 or any time after. When this happens, a dummy SCIDRL read following
event 4 will be required to clear the OR flag if further frames are to be received.

This subsection provides a complete functional description of the SCI block, detailing the operation of the
design from the end user’s perspective in a number of descriptions.
Figure 8-11 shows the structure of the SCI module. The SCI allows full duplex, asynchronous, serial
communication between the CPU and remote devices, including other CPUs. The SCI transmitter and
receiver operate independently, although they use the same baud rate generator. The CPU monitors the
status of the SCI, writes the data to be transmitted, and processes received data.

264 Freescale Semiconductor
8.5.1 Infrared Interface Submodule
This module provides the capability of transmitting narrow pulses to an IR LED and receiving narrow
pulses and transforming them to serial bits, which are sent to the SCI. The IrDA physical layer
specification defines a half-duplex infrared communication link for exchange data. The full standard
includes data rates up to 16 Mbits/s. This design covers only data rates between 2.4 kbits/s and
115.2 kbits/s.
The infrared submodule consists of two major blocks: the transmit encoder and the receive decoder. The
SCI transmits serial bits of data which are encoded by the infrared submodule to transmit a narrow pulse
for every 0 bit. No pulse is transmitted for every 1 bit. When receiving data, the IR pulses should be
detected using an IR photo diode and transformed to CMOS levels by the IR receive decoder (external
from the MCU). The narrow pulses are then stretched by the infrared submodule to get back to a serial bit
stream to be received by the SCI. The polarity of transmitted pulses and expected receive pulses can be
inverted so that a direct connection can be made to external IrDA transceiver modules that uses active low
pulses.
The infrared submodule receives its clock sources from the SCI. One of these two clocks are selected in
the infrared submodule in order to generate either 3/16, 1/16, 1/32, or 1/4 narrow pulses during
transmission. The infrared block receives two clock sources from the SCI, R16XCLK, and R32XCLK,
which are configured to generate the narrow pulse width during transmission. The R16XCLK and
R32XCLK are internal clocks with frequencies 16 and 32 times the baud rate respectively. Both
R16XCLK and R32XCLK clocks are used for transmitting data. The receive decoder uses only the
R16XCLK clock.
8.5.1.1 Infrared Transmit Encoder
The infrared transmit encoder converts serial bits of data from transmit shift register to the TXD pin. A
narrow pulse is transmitted for a 0 bit and no pulse for a 1 bit. The narrow pulse is sent in the middle of
the bit with a duration of 1/32, 1/16, 3/16, or 1/4 of a bit time. A narrow high pulse is transmitted for a 0 bit
when TXPOL is cleared, while a narrow low pulse is transmitted for a 0 bit when TXPOL is set.
8.5.1.2 Infrared Receive Decoder
The infrared receive block converts data from the RXD pin to the receive shift register. A narrow pulse is
expected for each 0 received and no pulse is expected for each 1 received. A narrow high pulse is expected
for a 0 bit when RXPOL is cleared, while a narrow low pulse is expected for a 0 bit when RXPOL is set.
This receive decoder meets the edge jitter requirement as defined by the IrDA serial infrared physical layer
specification.
8.5.2 Data Format
The SCI uses the standard NRZ mark/space data format. When Infrared is enabled, the SCI uses RZI data
format where 0s are represented by light pulses and 1s remain low. See Figure 8-12.

Freescale Semiconductor 265
Figure 8-12. SCI Data Formats
Each data character is contained in a frame that includes a start bit, eight or nine data bits, and a stop bit.
Clearing the M bit in SCI control register 1 configures the SCI for 8-bit data characters. A frame with eight
data bits has a total of 10 bits. Setting the M bit configures the SCI for nine-bit data characters. A frame
with nine data bits has a total of 11 bits
When the SCI is configured for 9-bit data characters, the ninth data bit is the T8 bit in SCI data register
high (SCIDRH). It remains unchanged after transmission and can be used repeatedly without rewriting it.
A frame with nine data bits has a total of 11 bits.

8.5.3 Baud Rate Generation
A 13-bit modulus counter in the baud rate generator derives the baud rate for both the receiver and the
transmitter. The value from 0 to 8191 written to the SBR[12:0] bits determines the module clock divisor.
The SBR bits are in the SCI baud rate registers (SCIBDH and SCIBDL). The baud rate clock is
synchronized with the bus clock and drives the receiver. The baud rate clock divided by 16 drives the
transmitter. The receiver has an acquisition rate of 16 samples per bit time.
Baud rate generation is subject to one source of error:
• Integer division of the module clock may not give the exact target frequency.
Table 8-14 lists some examples of achieving target baud rates with a module clock frequency of 10.2 MHz.
When IREN = 0 then,
SCI baud rate = SCI module clock / (16 * SCIBR[12:0])

8.5.4.1 Transmitter Character Length
The SCI transmitter can accommodate either 8-bit or 9-bit data characters. The state of the M bit in SCI
control register 1 (SCICR1) determines the length of data characters. When transmitting 9-bit data, bit T8
in SCI data register high (SCIDRH) is the ninth bit (bit 8).
8.5.4.2 Character Transmission
To transmit data, the MCU writes the data bits to the SCI data registers (SCIDRH/SCIDRL), which in turn
are transferred to the transmitter shift register. The transmit shift register then shifts a frame out through
the TXD pin, after it has prefaced them with a start bit and appended them with a stop bit. The SCI data
registers (SCIDRH and SCIDRL) are the write-only buffers between the internal data bus and the transmit
shift register.
The SCI also sets a flag, the transmit data register empty flag (TDRE), every time it transfers data from
the buffer (SCIDRH/L) to the transmitter shift register. The transmit driver routine may respond to this

flag by writing another byte to the transmitter buffer (SCIDRH/SCIDRL), while the shift register is
shifting out the first byte.
To initiate an SCI transmission:
1. Configure the SCI:
a) Select a baud rate. Write this value to the SCI baud registers (SCIBDH/L) to begin the baud
rate generator. Remember that the baud rate generator is disabled when the baud rate is 0.
Writing to the SCIBDH has no effect without also writing to SCIBDL.
b) Write to SCICR1 to configure word length, parity, and other configuration bits (LOOPS,
RSRC, M, WAKE, ILT, PE, and PT).
c) Enable the transmitter, interrupts, receive, and wake up as required, by writing to the SCICR2
register bits (TIE, TCIE, RIE, ILIE, TE, RE, RWU, and SBK). A preamble or idle character
will now be shifted out of the transmitter shift register.
2. Transmit procedure for each byte:
a) Poll the TDRE flag by reading the SCISR1 or responding to the TDRE interrupt. Keep in mind
that the TDRE bit resets to 1.
b) If the TDRE flag is set, write the data to be transmitted to SCIDRH/L, where the ninth bit is
written to the T8 bit in SCIDRH if the SCI is in 9-bit data format. A new transmission will not
result until the TDRE flag has been cleared.
3. Repeat step 2 for each subsequent transmission.
NOTE
The TDRE flag is set when the shift register is loaded with the next data to
be transmitted from SCIDRH/L, which happens, generally speaking, a little
over half-way through the stop bit of the previous frame. Specifically, this
transfer occurs 9/16ths of a bit time AFTER the start of the stop bit of the
previous frame.
Writing the TE bit from 0 to a 1 automatically loads the transmit shift register with a preamble of 10
logic 1s (if M = 0) or 11 logic 1s (if M = 1). After the preamble shifts out, control logic transfers the data
from the SCI data register into the transmit shift register. A logic 0 start bit automatically goes into the
least significant bit position of the transmit shift register. A logic 1 stop bit goes into the most significant
bit position.
Hardware supports odd or even parity. When parity is enabled, the most significant bit (MSB) of the data
character is the parity bit.
The transmit data register empty flag, TDRE, in SCI status register 1 (SCISR1) becomes set when the SCI
data register transfers a byte to the transmit shift register. The TDRE flag indicates that the SCI data
register can accept new data from the internal data bus. If the transmit interrupt enable bit, TIE, in SCI
control register 2 (SCICR2) is also set, the TDRE flag generates a transmitter interrupt request.
When the transmit shift register is not transmitting a frame, the TXD pin goes to the idle condition, logic 1.
If at any time software clears the TE bit in SCI control register 2 (SCICR2), the transmitter enable signal
goes low and the transmit signal goes idle.
Chapter 8 Serial Communication Interface (SCIV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 269
If software clears TE while a transmission is in progress (TC = 0), the frame in the transmit shift register
continues to shift out. To avoid accidentally cutting off the last frame in a message, always wait for TDRE
to go high after the last frame before clearing TE.
To separate messages with preambles with minimum idle line time, use this sequence between messages:
1. Write the last byte of the first message to SCIDRH/L.
2. Wait for the TDRE flag to go high, indicating the transfer of the last frame to the transmit shift
register.
3. Queue a preamble by clearing and then setting the TE bit.
4. Write the first byte of the second message to SCIDRH/L.
8.5.4.3 Break Characters
Writing a logic 1 to the send break bit, SBK, in SCI control register 2 (SCICR2) loads the transmit shift
register with a break character. A break character contains all logic 0s and has no start, stop, or parity bit.
Break character length depends on the M bit in SCI control register 1 (SCICR1). As long as SBK is at
logic 1, transmitter logic continuously loads break characters into the transmit shift register. After software
clears the SBK bit, the shift register finishes transmitting the last break character and then transmits at least
one logic 1. The automatic logic 1 at the end of a break character guarantees the recognition of the start bit
of the next frame.
The SCI recognizes a break character when a start bit is followed by eight or nine logic 0 data bits and a
logic 0 where the stop bit should be. Receiving a break character has these effects on SCI registers:
• Sets the framing error flag, FE
• Sets the receive data register full flag, RDRF
• Clears the SCI data registers (SCIDRH/L)
• May set the overrun flag, OR, noise flag, NF, parity error flag, PE, or the receiver active flag, RAF
(see Section 8.4.2.4, “SCI Status Register 1 (SCISR1)” and Section 8.4.2.5, “SCI Status Register
2 (SCISR2)”).
8.5.4.4 Idle Characters
An idle character (or preamble) contains all logic 1s and has no start, stop, or parity bit. Idle character
length depends on the M bit in SCI control register 1 (SCICR1). The preamble is a synchronizing idle
character that begins the first transmission initiated after writing the TE bit from 0 to 1.
If the TE bit is cleared during a transmission, the TXD pin becomes idle after completion of the
transmission in progress. Clearing and then setting the TE bit during a transmission queues an idle
character to be sent after the frame currently being transmitted.
NOTE
When queueing an idle character, return the TE bit to logic 1 before the stop
bit of the current frame shifts out through the TXD pin. Setting TE after the
stop bit appears on TXD causes data previously written to the SCI data
register to be lost. Toggle the TE bit for a queued idle character while the
Chapter 8 Serial Communication Interface (SCIV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
270 Freescale Semiconductor
TDRE flag is set and immediately before writing the next byte to the SCI
data register.
If the TE bit is clear and the transmission is complete, the SCI is not the
master of the TXD pin
8.5.5 Receiver
Figure 8-14. SCI Receiver Block Diagram
8.5.5.1 Receiver Character Length
The SCI receiver can accommodate either 8-bit or 9-bit data characters. The state of the M bit in SCI
control register 1 (SCICR1) determines the length of data characters. When receiving 9-bit data, bit R8 in
SCI data register high (SCIDRH) is the ninth bit (bit 8).
8.5.5.2 Character Reception
During an SCI reception, the receive shift register shifts a frame in from the RXD pin. The SCI data
register is the read-only buffer between the internal data bus and the receive shift register.
After a complete frame shifts into the receive shift register, the data portion of the frame transfers to the
SCI data register. The receive data register full flag, RDRF, in SCI status register 1 (SCISR1) becomes set,

indicating that the received byte can be read. If the receive interrupt enable bit, RIE, in SCI control register
2 (SCICR2) is also set, the RDRF flag generates an RDRF interrupt request.
8.5.5.3 Data Sampling
The receiver samples the RXD pin at the RT clock rate. The RT clock is an internal signal with a frequency
16 times the baud rate. To adjust for baud rate mismatch, the RT clock (see Figure 8-15) is
re-synchronized:
• After every start bit
• After the receiver detects a data bit change from logic 1 to logic 0 (after the majority of data bit
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10 returns a valid logic 1 and the majority of the next RT8, RT9, and
RT10 samples returns a valid logic 0)
To locate the start bit, data recovery logic does an asynchronous search for a logic 0 preceded by three
logic 1s. When the falling edge of a possible start bit occurs, the RT clock begins to count to 16.
Figure 8-15. Receiver Data Sampling
To verify the start bit and to detect noise, data recovery logic takes samples at RT3, RT5, and RT7.
Table 8-15 summarizes the results of the start bit verification samples.
If start bit verification is not successful, the RT clock is reset and a new search for a start bit begins.

To determine the value of a data bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and
RT10. Table 8-16 summarizes the results of the data bit samples.
NOTE
The RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples do not affect start bit verification. If any
or all of the RT8, RT9, and RT10 start bit samples are logic 1s following a
successful start bit verification, the noise flag (NF) is set and the receiver
assumes that the bit is a start bit (logic 0).
To verify a stop bit and to detect noise, recovery logic takes samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10. Table 8-17
summarizes the results of the stop bit samples.

In Figure 8-16 the verification samples RT3 and RT5 determine that the first low detected was noise and
not the beginning of a start bit. The RT clock is reset and the start bit search begins again. The noise flag
is not set because the noise occurred before the start bit was found.

In Figure 8-17, verification sample at RT3 is high. The RT3 sample sets the noise flag. Although the
perceived bit time is misaligned, the data samples RT8, RT9, and RT10 are within the bit time and data
recovery is successful.

In Figure 8-18, a large burst of noise is perceived as the beginning of a start bit, although the test sample
at RT5 is high. The RT5 sample sets the noise flag. Although this is a worst-case misalignment of
perceived bit time, the data samples RT8, RT9, and RT10 are within the bit time and data recovery is
successful.

Figure 8-20 shows a burst of noise near the beginning of the start bit that resets the RT clock. The sample
after the reset is low but is not preceded by three high samples that would qualify as a falling edge.
Depending on the timing of the start bit search and on the data, the frame may be missed entirely or it may
set the framing error flag.
Figure 8-20. Start Bit Search Example 5
In Figure 8-21, a noise burst makes the majority of data samples RT8, RT9, and RT10 high. This sets the
noise flag but does not reset the RT clock. In start bits only, the RT8, RT9, and RT10 data samples are
ignored.
Figure 8-21. Start Bit Search Example 6
8.5.5.4 Framing Errors
If the data recovery logic does not detect a logic 1 where the stop bit should be in an incoming frame, it
sets the framing error flag, FE, in SCI status register 1 (SCISR1). A break character also sets the FE flag
because a break character has no stop bit. The FE flag is set at the same time that the RDRF flag is set.

8.5.5.5 Baud Rate Tolerance
A transmitting device may be operating at a baud rate below or above the receiver baud rate. Accumulated
bit time misalignment can cause one of the three stop bit data samples (RT8, RT9, and RT10) to fall
outside the actual stop bit. A noise error will occur if the RT8, RT9, and RT10 samples are not all the same
logical values. A framing error will occur if the receiver clock is misaligned in such a way that the majority
of the RT8, RT9, and RT10 stop bit samples are a logic 0.
As the receiver samples an incoming frame, it re-synchronizes the RT clock on any valid falling edge
within the frame. Re synchronization within frames will correct a misalignment between transmitter bit
times and receiver bit times.
8.5.5.5.1 Slow Data Tolerance
Figure 8-22 shows how much a slow received frame can be misaligned without causing a noise error or a
framing error. The slow stop bit begins at RT8 instead of RT1 but arrives in time for the stop bit data
samples at RT8, RT9, and RT10.
Figure 8-22. Slow Data
Let’s take RTr as receiver RT clock and RTt as transmitter RT clock.
For an 8-bit data character, it takes the receiver 9 bit times x 16 RTr cycles +7 RTr cycles =151 RTr cycles
to start data sampling of the stop bit.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 8-22, the receiver counts 151 RTr cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 9 bit times x 16 RTt cycles = 144 RTt cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 8-bit data
character with no errors is:
((151 – 144) / 151) x 100 = 4.63%
For a 9-bit data character, it takes the receiver 10 bit times x 16 RTr cycles + 7 RTr cycles = 167 RTr cycles
to start data sampling of the stop bit.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 8-22, the receiver counts 167 RTr cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 10 bit times x 16 RTt cycles = 160 RTt cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a slow 9-bit
character with no errors is:

8.5.5.5.2 Fast Data Tolerance
Figure 8-23 shows how much a fast received frame can be misaligned. The fast stop bit ends at RT10
instead of RT16 but continues to be sampled at RT8, RT9, and RT10.
Figure 8-23. Fast Data
For an 8-bit data character, it takes the receiver 9 bit times x 16 RTr cycles + 10 RTr cycles = 154 RTr
cycles to finish data sampling of the stop bit.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 8-23, the receiver counts 154 RTr cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 10 bit times x 16 RTt cycles = 160 RTt cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a fast 8-bit
character with no errors is:
((160 – 154) / 160) x 100 = 3.75%
For a 9-bit data character, it takes the receiver 10 bit times x 16 RTr cycles + 10 RTr cycles = 170 RTr
cycles to finish data sampling of the stop bit.
With the misaligned character shown in Figure 8-23, the receiver counts 170 RTr cycles at the point when
the count of the transmitting device is 11 bit times x 16 RTt cycles = 176 RTt cycles.
The maximum percent difference between the receiver count and the transmitter count of a fast 9-bit
character with no errors is:
((176 – 170) / 176) x 100 = 3.40%
8.5.5.6 Receiver Wakeup
To enable the SCI to ignore transmissions intended only for other receivers in multiple-receiver systems,
the receiver can be put into a standby state. Setting the receiver wakeup bit, RWU, in SCI control register 2
(SCICR2) puts the receiver into standby state during which receiver interrupts are disabled.The SCI will
continue to load the receive data into the SCIDRH/L registers, but it will not set the RDRF flag.
The transmitting device can address messages to selected receivers by including addressing information
in the initial frame or frames of each message.
The WAKE bit in SCI control register 1 (SCICR1) determines how the SCI is brought out of the standby
state to process an incoming message. The WAKE bit enables either idle line wakeup or address mark
wakeup.

8.5.5.6.1 Idle Input Line Wakeup (WAKE = 0)
In this wakeup method, an idle condition on the RXD pin clears the RWU bit and wakes up the SCI. The
initial frame or frames of every message contain addressing information. All receivers evaluate the
addressing information, and receivers for which the message is addressed process the frames that follow.
Any receiver for which a message is not addressed can set its RWU bit and return to the standby state. The
RWU bit remains set and the receiver remains on standby until another idle character appears on the RXD
pin.
Idle line wakeup requires that messages be separated by at least one idle character and that no message
contains idle characters.
The idle character that wakes a receiver does not set the receiver idle bit, IDLE, or the receive data register
full flag, RDRF.
The idle line type bit, ILT, determines whether the receiver begins counting logic 1s as idle character bits
after the start bit or after the stop bit. ILT is in SCI control register 1 (SCICR1).
8.5.5.6.2 Address Mark Wakeup (WAKE = 1)
In this wakeup method, a logic 1 in the most significant bit (MSB) position of a frame clears the RWU bit
and wakes up the SCI. The logic 1 in the MSB position marks a frame as an address frame that contains
addressing information. All receivers evaluate the addressing information, and the receivers for which the
message is addressed process the frames that follow. Any receiver for which a message is not addressed
can set its RWU bit and return to the standby state. The RWU bit remains set and the receiver remains on
standby until another address frame appears on the RXD pin.
The logic 1 MSB of an address frame clears the receiver’s RWU bit before the stop bit is received and sets
the RDRF flag.
Address mark wakeup allows messages to contain idle characters but requires that the MSB be reserved
for use in address frames.
NOTE
With the WAKE bit clear, setting the RWU bit after the RXD pin has been
idle can cause the receiver to wake up immediately.
8.5.6 Single-Wire Operation
Normally, the SCI uses two pins for transmitting and receiving. In single-wire operation, the RXD pin is
disconnected from the SCI. The SCI uses the TXD pin for both receiving and transmitting.

Enable single-wire operation by setting the LOOPS bit and the receiver source bit, RSRC, in SCI control
register 1 (SCICR1). Setting the LOOPS bit disables the path from the RXD pin to the receiver. Setting
the RSRC bit connects the TXD pin to the receiver. Both the transmitter and receiver must be enabled
(TE = 1 and RE = 1).The TXDIR bit (SCISR2[1]) determines whether the TXD pin is going to be used as
an input (TXDIR = 0) or an output (TXDIR = 1) in this mode of operation.
NOTE
In single-wire operation data from the TXD pin is inverted if RXPOL is set.
8.5.7 Loop Operation
In loop operation the transmitter output goes to the receiver input. The RXD pin is disconnected from the
SCI
.
Figure 8-25. Loop Operation (LOOPS = 1, RSRC = 0)
Enable loop operation by setting the LOOPS bit and clearing the RSRC bit in SCI control register 1
(SCICR1). Setting the LOOPS bit disables the path from the RXD pin to the receiver. Clearing the RSRC
bit connects the transmitter output to the receiver input. Both the transmitter and receiver must be enabled
(TE = 1 and RE = 1).
NOTE
In loop operation data from the transmitter is not recognized by the receiver
if RXPOL and TXPOL are not the same.

requests. Table 8-18 lists the five interrupt sources of the SCI.

8.6.1 Description of Interrupt Operation
The SCI only originates interrupt requests. The following is a description of how the SCI makes a request
and how the MCU should acknowledge that request. The interrupt vector offset and interrupt number are
chip dependent. The SCI only has a single interrupt line (SCI interrupt signal, active high operation) and
all the following interrupts, when generated, are ORed together and issued through that port.
8.6.1.1 TDRE Description
The TDRE interrupt is set high by the SCI when the transmit shift register receives a byte from the SCI
data register. A TDRE interrupt indicates that the transmit data register (SCIDRH/L) is empty and that a
new byte can be written to the SCIDRH/L for transmission.Clear TDRE by reading SCI status register 1
with TDRE set and then writing to SCI data register low (SCIDRL).
8.6.1.2 TC Description
The TC interrupt is set by the SCI when a transmission has been completed.A TC interrupt indicates that
there is no transmission in progress. TC is set high when the TDRE flag is set and no data, preamble, or
break character is being transmitted. When TC is set, the TXD pin becomes idle (logic 1). Clear TC by
reading SCI status register 1 (SCISR1) with TC set and then writing to SCI data register low (SCIDRL).TC
is cleared automatically when data, preamble, or break is queued and ready to be sent.
8.6.1.3 RDRF Description
The RDRF interrupt is set when the data in the receive shift register transfers to the SCI data register. A
RDRF interrupt indicates that the received data has been transferred to the SCI data register and that the
byte can now be read by the MCU. The RDRF interrupt is cleared by reading the SCI status register one
(SCISR1) and then reading SCI data register low (SCIDRL).
8.6.1.4 OR Description
The OR interrupt is set when software fails to read the SCI data register before the receive shift register
receives the next frame. The newly acquired data in the shift register will be lost in this case, but the data
already in the SCI data registers is not affected. The OR interrupt is cleared by reading the SCI status
register one (SCISR1) and then reading SCI data register low (SCIDRL).
8.6.1.5 IDLE Description
The IDLE interrupt is set when 10 consecutive logic 1s (if M = 0) or 11 consecutive logic 1s (if M = 1)
appear on the receiver input. After the IDLE is cleared, a valid frame must again set the RDRF flag before
an idle condition can set the IDLE flag. Clear IDLE by reading SCI status register 1 (SCISR1) with IDLE
set and then reading SCI data register low (SCIDRL).
IDLE SCISR1[4] ILIE Active high level. Indicates that receiver input
has become idle.

The SPI functions in three modes, run, wait, and stop.
• Run Mode
This is the basic mode of operation.
• Wait Mode
SPI operation in wait mode is a configurable low power mode, controlled by the SPISWAI bit
located in the SPICR2 register. In wait mode, if the SPISWAI bit is clear, the SPI operates like in
Run Mode. If the SPISWAI bit is set, the SPI goes into a power conservative state, with the SPI
clock generation turned off. If the SPI is configured as a master, any transmission in progress stops,
but is resumed after CPU goes into Run Mode. If the SPI is configured as a slave, reception and
transmission of a byte continues, so that the slave stays synchronized to the master.
• Stop Mode
The SPI is inactive in stop mode for reduced power consumption. If the SPI is configured as a
master, any transmission in progress stops, but is resumed after CPU goes into run mode. If the SPI
is configured as a slave, reception and transmission of a byte continues, so that the slave stays
synchronized to the master.
This is a high level description only, detailed descriptions of operating modes are contained in Section 9.4,
“Functional Description.”

Write: anytime
The SPI Data Register is both the input and output register for SPI data. A write to this register allows a
data byte to be queued and transmitted. For a SPI configured as a master, a queued data byte is transmitted
immediately after the previous transmission has completed. The SPI Transmitter Empty Flag SPTEF in
the SPISR register indicates when the SPI Data Register is ready to accept new data.
Reading the data can occur anytime from after the SPIF is set to before the end of the next transfer. If the
SPIF is not serviced by the end of the successive transfers, those data bytes are lost and the data within the
SPIDR retains the first byte until SPIF is serviced.
9.4 Functional Description
The SPI module allows a duplex, synchronous, serial communication between the MCU and peripheral
devices. Software can poll the SPI status flags or SPI operation can be interrupt driven.
The SPI system is enabled by setting the SPI enable (SPE) bit in SPI Control Register 1. While SPE bit is
set, the four associated SPI port pins are dedicated to the SPI function as:
• Slave select (SS)
• Serial clock (SCK)
• Master out/slave in (MOSI)
• Master in/slave out (MISO)
The main element of the SPI system is the SPI Data Register. The 8-bit data register in the master and the
8-bit data register in the slave are linked by the MOSI and MISO pins to form a distributed 16-bit register.
When a data transfer operation is performed, this 16-bit register is serially shifted eight bit positions by the
S-clock from the master, so data is exchanged between the master and the slave. Data written to the master
SPI Data Register becomes the output data for the slave, and data read from the master SPI Data Register
after a transfer operation is the input data from the slave.
A read of SPISR with SPTEF = 1 followed by a write to SPIDR puts data into the transmit data register.
When a transfer is complete, received data is moved into the receive data register. Data may be read from
this double-buffered system any time before the next transfer has completed. This 8-bit data register acts
as the SPI receive data register for reads and as the SPI transmit data register for writes. A single SPI
register address is used for reading data from the read data buffer and for writing data to the transmit data
register.
The clock phase control bit (CPHA) and a clock polarity control bit (CPOL) in the SPI Control Register 1
(SPICR1) select one of four possible clock formats to be used by the SPI system. The CPOL bit simply
selects a non-inverted or inverted clock. The CPHA bit is used to accommodate two fundamentally
different protocols by sampling data on odd numbered SCK edges or on even numbered SCK edges (see
Section 9.4.3, “Transmission Formats”).
The SPI can be configured to operate as a master or as a slave. When the MSTR bit in SPI Control
Register1 is set, master mode is selected, when the MSTR bit is clear, slave mode is selected.
Chapter 9 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPIV3) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
294 Freescale Semiconductor
9.4.1 Master Mode
The SPI operates in master mode when the MSTR bit is set. Only a master SPI module can initiate
transmissions. A transmission begins by writing to the master SPI Data Register. If the shift register is
empty, the byte immediately transfers to the shift register. The byte begins shifting out on the MOSI pin
under the control of the serial clock.
• S-clock
The SPR2, SPR1, and SPR0 baud rate selection bits in conjunction with the SPPR2, SPPR1, and
SPPR0 baud rate preselection bits in the SPI Baud Rate register control the baud rate generator and
determine the speed of the transmission. The SCK pin is the SPI clock output. Through the SCK
pin, the baud rate generator of the master controls the shift register of the slave peripheral.
• MOSI and MISO Pins
In master mode, the function of the serial data output pin (MOSI) and the serial data input pin
(MISO) is determined by the SPC0 and BIDIROE control bits.
•SS Pin
If MODFEN and SSOE bit are set, the SS pin is configured as slave select output. The SS output
becomes low during each transmission and is high when the SPI is in idle state.
If MODFEN is set and SSOE is cleared, the SS pin is configured as input for detecting mode fault
error. If the SS input becomes low this indicates a mode fault error where another master tries to
drive the MOSI and SCK lines. In this case, the SPI immediately switches to slave mode, by
clearing the MSTR bit and also disables the slave output buffer MISO (or SISO in bidirectional
mode). So the result is that all outputs are disabled and SCK, MOSI and MISO are inputs. If a
transmission is in progress when the mode fault occurs, the transmission is aborted and the SPI is
forced into idle state.
This mode fault error also sets the mode fault (MODF) flag in the SPI Status Register (SPISR). If the SPI
interrupt enable bit (SPIE) is set when the MODF flag gets set, then an SPI interrupt sequence is also
requested.
When a write to the SPI Data Register in the master occurs, there is a half SCK-cycle delay. After the delay,
SCK is started within the master. The rest of the transfer operation differs slightly, depending on the clock
format specified by the SPI clock phase bit, CPHA, in SPI Control Register 1 (see Section 9.4.3,
“Transmission Formats”).
NOTE
A change of the bits CPOL, CPHA, SSOE, LSBFE, MODFEN, SPC0,
BIDIROE with SPC0 set, SPPR2–SPPR0 and SPR2–SPR0 in master mode
will abort a transmission in progress and force the SPI into idle state. The
remote slave cannot detect this, therefore the master has to ensure that the
remote slave is set back to idle state.
Chapter 9 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPIV3) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 295
9.4.2 Slave Mode
The SPI operates in slave mode when the MSTR bit in SPI Control Register1 is clear.
• SCK Clock
In slave mode, SCK is the SPI clock input from the master.
• MISO and MOSI Pins
In slave mode, the function of the serial data output pin (MISO) and serial data input pin (MOSI)
is determined by the SPC0 bit and BIDIROE bit in SPI Control Register 2.
•SS Pin
The SS pin is the slave select input. Before a data transmission occurs, the SS pin of the slave SPI
must be low. SS must remain low until the transmission is complete. If SS goes high, the SPI is
forced into idle state.
The SS input also controls the serial data output pin, if SS is high (not selected), the serial data
output pin is high impedance, and, if SS is low the first bit in the SPI Data Register is driven out of
the serial data output pin. Also, if the slave is not selected (SS is high), then the SCK input is
ignored and no internal shifting of the SPI shift register takes place.
Although the SPI is capable of duplex operation, some SPI peripherals are capable of only receiving SPI
data in a slave mode. For these simpler devices, there is no serial data out pin.
NOTE
When peripherals with duplex capability are used, take care not to
simultaneously enable two receivers whose serial outputs drive the same
system slave’s serial data output line.
As long as no more than one slave device drives the system slave’s serial data output line, it is possible for
several slaves to receive the same transmission from a master, although the master would not receive return
information from all of the receiving slaves.
If the CPHA bit in SPI Control Register 1 is clear, odd numbered edges on the SCK input cause the data
at the serial data input pin to be latched. Even numbered edges cause the value previously latched from the
serial data input pin to shift into the LSB or MSB of the SPI shift register, depending on the LSBFE bit.
If the CPHA bit is set, even numbered edges on the SCK input cause the data at the serial data input pin to
be latched. Odd numbered edges cause the value previously latched from the serial data input pin to shift
into the LSB or MSB of the SPI shift register, depending on the LSBFE bit.
When CPHA is set, the first edge is used to get the first data bit onto the serial data output pin. When CPHA
is clear and the SS input is low (slave selected), the first bit of the SPI data is driven out of the serial data
output pin. After the eighth shift, the transfer is considered complete and the received data is transferred
into the SPI Data Register. To indicate transfer is complete, the SPIF flag in the SPI Status Register is set.
NOTE
A change of the bits CPOL, CPHA, SSOE, LSBFE, MODFEN, SPC0 and
BIDIROE with SPC0 set in slave mode will corrupt a transmission in
progress and has to be avoided.

9.4.3 Transmission Formats
During an SPI transmission, data is transmitted (shifted out serially) and received (shifted in serially)
simultaneously. The serial clock (SCK) synchronizes shifting and sampling of the information on the two
serial data lines. A slave select line allows selection of an individual slave SPI device, slave devices that
are not selected do not interfere with SPI bus activities. Optionally, on a master SPI device, the slave select
line can be used to indicate multiple-master bus contention.
Figure 9-8. Master/Slave Transfer Block Diagram
9.4.3.1 Clock Phase and Polarity Controls
Using two bits in the SPI Control Register1, software selects one of four combinations of serial clock phase
and polarity.
The CPOL clock polarity control bit specifies an active high or low clock and has no significant effect on
the transmission format.
The CPHA clock phase control bit selects one of two fundamentally different transmission formats.
Clock phase and polarity should be identical for the master SPI device and the communicating slave
device. In some cases, the phase and polarity are changed between transmissions to allow a master device
to communicate with peripheral slaves having different requirements.
9.4.3.2 CPHA = 0 Transfer Format
The first edge on the SCK line is used to clock the first data bit of the slave into the master and the first
data bit of the master into the slave. In some peripherals, the first bit of the slave’s data is available at the
slave’s data out pin as soon as the slave is selected. In this format, the first SCK edge is issued a half cycle
after SS has become low.
A half SCK cycle later, the second edge appears on the SCK line. When this second edge occurs, the value
previously latched from the serial data input pin is shifted into the LSB or MSB of the shift register,
depending on LSBFE bit.
After this second edge, the next bit of the SPI master data is transmitted out of the serial data output pin of
the master to the serial input pin on the slave. This process continues for a total of 16 edges on the SCK
line, with data being latched on odd numbered edges and shifted on even numbered edges.

Data reception is double buffered. Data is shifted serially into the SPI shift register during the transfer and
is transferred to the parallel SPI Data Register after the last bit is shifted in.
After the 16th (last) SCK edge:
• Data that was previously in the master SPI Data Register should now be in the slave data register
and the data that was in the slave data register should be in the master.
• The SPIF flag in the SPI Status Register is set indicating that the transfer is complete.
Figure 9-9 is a timing diagram of an SPI transfer where CPHA = 0. SCK waveforms are shown for
CPOL = 0 and CPOL = 1. The diagram may be interpreted as a master or slave timing diagram because
the SCK, MISO, and MOSI pins are connected directly between the master and the slave. The MISO signal
is the output from the slave and the MOSI signal is the output from the master. The SS pin of the master
must be either high or reconfigured as a general-purpose output not affecting the SPI.
Figure 9-9. SPI Clock Format 0 (CPHA = 0)
In slave mode, if the SS line is not deasserted between the successive transmissions then the content of the
SPI Data Register is not transmitted, instead the last received byte is transmitted. If the SS line is deasserted
for at least minimum idle time (half SCK cycle) between successive transmissions then the content of the
SPI Data Register is transmitted.

In master mode, with slave select output enabled the SS line is always deasserted and reasserted between
successive transfers for at least minimum idle time.
9.4.3.3 CPHA = 1 Transfer Format
Some peripherals require the first SCK edge before the first data bit becomes available at the data out pin,
the second edge clocks data into the system. In this format, the first SCK edge is issued by setting the
CPHA bit at the beginning of the 8-cycle transfer operation.
The first edge of SCK occurs immediately after the half SCK clock cycle synchronization delay. This first
edge commands the slave to transfer its first data bit to the serial data input pin of the master.
A half SCK cycle later, the second edge appears on the SCK pin. This is the latching edge for both the
master and slave.
When the third edge occurs, the value previously latched from the serial data input pin is shifted into the
LSB or MSB of the SPI shift register, depending on LSBFE bit. After this edge, the next bit of the master
data is coupled out of the serial data output pin of the master to the serial input pin on the slave.
This process continues for a total of 16 edges on the SCK line with data being latched on even numbered
edges and shifting taking place on odd numbered edges.
Data reception is double buffered, data is serially shifted into the SPI shift register during the transfer and
is transferred to the parallel SPI Data Register after the last bit is shifted in.
After the 16th SCK edge:
• Data that was previously in the SPI Data Register of the master is now in the data register of the
slave, and data that was in the data register of the slave is in the master.
• The SPIF flag bit in SPISR is set indicating that the transfer is complete.
Figure 9-10 shows two clocking variations for CPHA = 1. The diagram may be interpreted as a master or
slave timing diagram because the SCK, MISO, and MOSI pins are connected directly between the master
and the slave. The MISO signal is the output from the slave, and the MOSI signal is the output from the
master. The SS line is the slave select input to the slave. The SS pin of the master must be either high or
reconfigured as a general-purpose output not affecting the SPI.
The SS line can remain active low between successive transfers (can be tied low at all times). This format
is sometimes preferred in systems having a single fixed master and a single slave that drive the MISO data
line.
• Back-to-back transfers in master mode
In master mode, if a transmission has completed and a new data byte is available in the SPI Data Register,
this byte is send out immediately without a trailing and minimum idle time.
The SPI interrupt request flag (SPIF) is common to both the master and slave modes. SPIF gets set one
half SCK cycle after the last SCK edge.

Figure 9-10. SPI Clock Format 1 (CPHA = 1)
9.4.4 SPI Baud Rate Generation
Baud rate generation consists of a series of divider stages. Six bits in the SPI Baud Rate register (SPPR2,
SPPR1, SPPR0, SPR2, SPR1, and SPR0) determine the divisor to the SPI module clock which results in
the SPI baud rate.
The SPI clock rate is determined by the product of the value in the baud rate preselection bits
(SPPR2–SPPR0) and the value in the baud rate selection bits (SPR2–SPR0). The module clock divisor
equation is shown in Figure 9-11
When all bits are clear (the default condition), the SPI module clock is divided by 2. When the selection
bits (SPR2–SPR0) are 001 and the preselection bits (SPPR2–SPPR0) are 000, the module clock divisor
becomes 4. When the selection bits are 010, the module clock divisor becomes 8 etc.
When the preselection bits are 001, the divisor determined by the selection bits is multiplied by 2. When
the preselection bits are 010, the divisor is multiplied by 3, etc. See Table 9-7 for baud rate calculations for
all bit conditions, based on a 25-MHz bus clock. The two sets of selects allows the clock to be divided by
a non-power of two to achieve other baud rates such as divide by 6, divide by 10, etc.

The baud rate generator is activated only when the SPI is in the master mode and a serial transfer is taking
place. In the other cases, the divider is disabled to decrease IDD current.
Figure 9-11. Baud Rate Divisor Equation
9.4.5 Special Features
9.4.5.1 SS Output
The SS output feature automatically drives the SS pin low during transmission to select external devices
and drives it high during idle to deselect external devices. When SS output is selected, the SS output pin
is connected to the SS input pin of the external device.
The SS output is available only in master mode during normal SPI operation by asserting SSOE and
MODFEN bit as shown in Table 9-3.
The mode fault feature is disabled while SS output is enabled.
NOTE
Care must be taken when using the SS output feature in a multimaster
system because the mode fault feature is not available for detecting system
errors between masters.
9.4.5.2 Bidirectional Mode (MOSI or MISO)
The bidirectional mode is selected when the SPC0 bit is set in SPI Control Register 2 (see Table 9-9). In
this mode, the SPI uses only one serial data pin for the interface with external device(s). The MSTR bit
decides which pin to use. The MOSI pin becomes the serial data I/O (MOMI) pin for the master mode, and
the MISO pin becomes serial data I/O (SISO) pin for the slave mode. The MISO pin in master mode and
MOSI pin in slave mode are not used by the SPI.

Freescale Semiconductor 301
The direction of each serial I/O pin depends on the BIDIROE bit. If the pin is configured as an output,
serial data from the shift register is driven out on the pin. The same pin is also the serial input to the shift
register.
The SCK is output for the master mode and input for the slave mode.
The SS is the input or output for the master mode, and it is always the input for the slave mode.
The bidirectional mode does not affect SCK and SS functions.
NOTE
In bidirectional master mode, with mode fault enabled, both data pins MISO
and MOSI can be occupied by the SPI, though MOSI is normally used for
transmissions in bidirectional mode and MISO is not used by the SPI. If a
mode fault occurs, the SPI is automatically switched to slave mode, in this
case MISO becomes occupied by the SPI and MOSI is not used. This has to
be considered, if the MISO pin is used for other purpose.
9.4.6 Error Conditions
The SPI has one error condition:
• Mode fault error
9.4.6.1 Mode Fault Error
If the SS input becomes low while the SPI is configured as a master, it indicates a system error where more
than one master may be trying to drive the MOSI and SCK lines simultaneously. This condition is not
permitted in normal operation, the MODF bit in the SPI Status Register is set automatically provided the
MODFEN bit is set.
In the special case where the SPI is in master mode and MODFEN bit is cleared, the SS pin is not used by
the SPI. In this special case, the mode fault error function is inhibited and MODF remains cleared. In case
the SPI system is configured as a slave, the SS pin is a dedicated input pin. Mode fault error doesn’t occur
in slave mode.
If a mode fault error occurs the SPI is switched to slave mode, with the exception that the slave output
buffer is disabled. So SCK, MISO and MOSI pins are forced to be high impedance inputs to avoid any
possibility of conflict with another output driver. A transmission in progress is aborted and the SPI is
forced into idle state.
If the mode fault error occurs in the bidirectional mode for a SPI system configured in master mode, output
enable of the MOMI (MOSI in bidirectional mode) is cleared if it was set. No mode fault error occurs in
the bidirectional mode for SPI system configured in slave mode.
The mode fault flag is cleared automatically by a read of the SPI Status Register (with MODF set) followed
by a write to SPI Control Register 1. If the mode fault flag is cleared, the SPI becomes a normal master or
slave again.

302 Freescale Semiconductor
9.4.7 Operation in Run Mode
In run mode with the SPI system enable (SPE) bit in the SPI control register clear, the SPI system is in a
low-power, disabled state. SPI registers remain accessible, but clocks to the core of this module are
disabled.
9.4.8 Operation in Wait Mode
SPI operation in wait mode depends upon the state of the SPISWAI bit in SPI Control Register 2.
• If SPISWAI is clear, the SPI operates normally when the CPU is in wait mode
• If SPISWAI is set, SPI clock generation ceases and the SPI module enters a power conservation
state when the CPU is in wait mode.
— If SPISWAI is set and the SPI is configured for master, any transmission and reception in
progress stops at wait mode entry. The transmission and reception resumes when the SPI exits
wait mode.
— If SPISWAI is set and the SPI is configured as a slave, any transmission and reception in
progress continues if the SCK continues to be driven from the master. This keeps the slave
synchronized to the master and the SCK.
If the master transmits several bytes while the slave is in wait mode, the slave will continue to
send out bytes consistent with the operation mode at the start of wait mode (i.e. If the slave is
currently sending its SPIDR to the master, it will continue to send the same byte. Else if the
slave is currently sending the last received byte from the master, it will continue to send each
previous master byte).
NOTE
Care must be taken when expecting data from a master while the slave is in
wait or stop mode. Even though the shift register will continue to operate,
the rest of the SPI is shut down (i.e. a SPIF interrupt will not be generated
until exiting stop or wait mode). Also, the byte from the shift register will
not be copied into the SPIDR register until after the slave SPI has exited wait
or stop mode. A SPIF flag and SPIDR copy is only generated if wait mode
is entered or exited during a tranmission. If the slave enters wait mode in idle
mode and exits wait mode in idle mode, neither a SPIF nor a SPIDR copy
will occur.
9.4.9 Operation in Stop Mode
Stop mode is dependent on the system. The SPI enters stop mode when the module clock is disabled (held
high or low). If the SPI is in master mode and exchanging data when the CPU enters stop mode, the
transmission is frozen until the CPU exits stop mode. After stop, data to and from the external SPI is
exchanged correctly. In slave mode, the SPI will stay synchronized with the master.
The stop mode is not dependent on the SPISWAI bit.

Freescale Semiconductor 303
9.5 Reset
The reset values of registers and signals are described in the Memory Map and Registers section (see
Section 9.3, “Memory Map and Register Definition”) which details the registers and their bit-fields.
• If a data transmission occurs in slave mode after reset without a write to SPIDR, it will transmit
garbage, or the byte last received from the master before the reset.
• Reading from the SPIDR after reset will always read a byte of zeros.
9.6 Interrupts
The SPIV3 only originates interrupt requests when SPI is enabled (SPE bit in SPICR1 set). The following
is a description of how the SPIV3 makes a request and how the MCU should acknowledge that request.
The interrupt vector offset and interrupt priority are chip dependent.
The interrupt flags MODF, SPIF and SPTEF are logically ORed to generate an interrupt request.
9.6.1 MODF
MODF occurs when the master detects an error on the SS pin. The master SPI must be configured for the
MODF feature (see Table 9-3). After MODF is set, the current transfer is aborted and the following bit is
changed:
• MSTR = 0, The master bit in SPICR1 resets.
The MODF interrupt is reflected in the status register MODF flag. Clearing the flag will also clear the
interrupt. This interrupt will stay active while the MODF flag is set. MODF has an automatic clearing
process which is described in Section 9.3.2.4, “SPI Status Register (SPISR).”
9.6.2 SPIF
SPIF occurs when new data has been received and copied to the SPI Data Register. After SPIF is set, it
does not clear until it is serviced. SPIF has an automatic clearing process which is described in
Section 9.3.2.4, “SPI Status Register (SPISR).”In the event that the SPIF is not serviced before the end of
the next transfer (i.e. SPIF remains active throughout another transfer), the latter transfers will be ignored
and no new data will be copied into the SPIDR.
9.6.3 SPTEF
SPTEF occurs when the SPI Data Register is ready to accept new data. After SPTEF is set, it does not clear
until it is serviced. SPTEF has an automatic clearing process which is described in Section 9.3.2.4, “SPI
Status Register (SPISR).”

Inter-Integrated Circuit (IICV2) Block Description
10.1 Introduction
The inter-IC bus (IIC) is a two-wire, bidirectional serial bus that provides a simple, efficient method of data
exchange between devices. Being a two-wire device, the IIC bus minimizes the need for large numbers of
connections between devices, and eliminates the need for an address decoder.
This bus is suitable for applications requiring occasional communications over a short distance between a
number of devices. It also provides flexibility, allowing additional devices to be connected to the bus for
further expansion and system development.
The interface is designed to operate up to 100 kbps with maximum bus loading and timing. The device is
capable of operating at higher baud rates, up to a maximum of clock/20, with reduced bus loading. The
maximum communication length and the number of devices that can be connected are limited by a
maximum bus capacitance of 400 pF.
10.1.1 Features
The IIC module has the following key features:
• Compatible with I2C bus standard
• Multi-master operation
• Software programmable for one of 256 different serial clock frequencies
• Software selectable acknowledge bit
• Interrupt driven byte-by-byte data transfer
• Arbitration lost interrupt with automatic mode switching from master to slave
• Calling address identification interrupt
• Start and stop signal generation/detection
• Repeated start signal generation
• Acknowledge bit generation/detection
• Bus busy detection

The equation used to generate the divider values from the IBFD bits is:
SCL Divider = MUL x {2 x (scl2tap + [(SCL_Tap -1) x tap2tap] + 2)}
The SDA hold delay is equal to the CPU clock period multiplied by the SDA Hold value shown in
Table 10-5. The equation used to generate the SDA Hold value from the IBFD bits is:
SDA Hold = MUL x {scl2tap + [(SDA_Tap - 1) x tap2tap] + 3}
The equation for SCL Hold values to generate the start and stop conditions from the IBFD bits is:

IBEN I-Bus Enable — This bit controls the software reset of the entire IIC bus module.
0 The module is reset and disabled. This is the power-on reset situation. When low the interface is held in reset
but registers can be accessed
1 The IIC bus module is enabled.This bit must be set before any other IBCR bits have any effect
If the IIC bus module is enabled in the middle of a byte transfer the interface behaves as follows: slave mode
ignores the current transfer on the bus and starts operating whenever a subsequent start condition is detected.
Master mode will not be aware that the bus is busy, hence if a start cycle is initiated then the current bus cycle
may become corrupt. This would ultimately result in either the current bus master or the IIC bus module losing
arbitration, after which bus operation would return to normal.
6
IBIE I-Bus Interrupt Enable
0 Interrupts from the IIC bus module are disabled. Note that this does not clear any currently pending interrupt
condition
1 Interrupts from the IIC bus module are enabled. An IIC bus interrupt occurs provided the IBIF bit in the status
register is also set.
5
MS/SL Master/Slave Mode Select Bit — Upon reset, this bit is cleared. When this bit is changed from 0 to 1, a START
signal is generated on the bus, and the master mode is selected. When this bit is changed from 1 to 0, a STOP
signal is generated and the operation mode changes from master to slave.A STOP signal should only be
generated if the IBIF flag is set. MS/SL is cleared without generating a STOP signal when the master loses
arbitration.
0 Slave Mode
1 Master Mode
4
Tx/Rx Transmit/Receive Mode Select Bit — This bit selects the direction of master and slave transfers. When
addressed as a slave this bit should be set by software according to the SRW bit in the status register. In master
mode this bit should be set according to the type of transfer required. Therefore, for address cycles, this bit will
always be high.
0 Receive
1 Transmit
3
TXAK Transmit Acknowledge Enable — This bit specifies the value driven onto SDA during data acknowledge cycles
for both master and slave receivers. The IIC module will always acknowledge address matches, provided it is
enabled, regardless of the value of TXAK. Note that values written to this bit are only used when the IIC bus is a
receiver, not a transmitter.
0 An acknowledge signal will be sent out to the bus at the 9th clock bit after receiving one byte data
1 No acknowledge signal response is sent (i.e., acknowledge bit = 1)

Wait mode is entered via execution of a CPU WAI instruction. In the event that the IBSWAI bit is set, all
clocks internal to the IIC will be stopped and any transmission currently in progress will halt.If the CPU
were woken up by a source other than the IIC module, then clocks would restart and the IIC would resume
from where was during the previous transmission. It is not possible for the IIC to wake up the CPU when
its internal clocks are stopped.
If it were the case that the IBSWAI bit was cleared when the WAI instruction was executed, the IIC internal
clocks and interface would remain alive, continuing the operation which was currently underway. It is also
possible to configure the IIC such that it will wake up the CPU via an interrupt at the conclusion of the
current operation. See the discussion on the IBIF and IBIE bits in the IBSR and IBCR, respectively.
10.3.2.4 IIC Status Register (IBSR)
This status register is read-only with exception of bit 1 (IBIF) and bit 4 (IBAL), which are software
clearable.
2
RSTA Repeat Start — Writing a 1 to this bit will generate a repeated START condition on the bus, provided it is the
current bus master. This bit will always be read as a low. Attempting a repeated start at the wrong time, if the bus
is owned by another master, will result in loss of arbitration.

TCF Data Transferring Bit — While one byte of data is being transferred, this bit is cleared. It is set by the falling
edge of the 9th clock of a byte transfer. Note that this bit is only valid during or immediately following a transfer

IAAS Addressed as a Slave Bit — When its own specific address (I-bus address register) is matched with the calling
address, this bit is set.The CPU is interrupted provided the IBIE is set.Then the CPU needs to check the SRW
bit and set its Tx/Rx mode accordingly.Writing to the I-bus control register clears this bit.
0 Not addressed
1 Addressed as a slave
5
IBB Bus Busy Bit
0 This bit indicates the status of the bus. When a START signal is detected, the IBB is set. If a STOP signal is
detected, IBB is cleared and the bus enters idle state.
1 Bus is busy
4
IBAL Arbitration Lost — The arbitration lost bit (IBAL) is set by hardware when the arbitration procedure is lost.
Arbitration is lost in the following circumstances:
1. SDA sampled low when the master drives a high during an address or data transmit cycle.
2. SDA sampled low when the master drives a high during the acknowledge bit of a data receive cycle.
3. A start cycle is attempted when the bus is busy.
4. A repeated start cycle is requested in slave mode.
5. A stop condition is detected when the master did not request it.
This bit must be cleared by software, by writing a one to it. A write of 0 has no effect on this bit.
3
RESERVED Reserved — Bit 3 of IBSR is reserved for future use. A read operation on this bit will return 0.
2
SRW Slave Read/Write — When IAAS is set this bit indicates the value of the R/W command bit of the calling address
sent from the master
This bit is only valid when the I-bus is in slave mode, a complete address transfer has occurred with an address
match and no other transfers have been initiated.
Checking this bit, the CPU can select slave transmit/receive mode according to the command of the master.
0 Slave receive, master writing to slave
1 Slave transmit, master reading from slave
1
IBIF I-Bus Interrupt — The IBIF bit is set when one of the following conditions occurs:
— Arbitration lost (IBAL bit set)
— Byte transfer complete (TCF bit set)
— Addressed as slave (IAAS bit set)
It will cause a processor interrupt request if the IBIE bit is set. This bit must be cleared by software, writing a one
to it. A write of 0 has no effect on this bit.
0
RXAK Received Acknowledge — The value of SDA during the acknowledge bit of a bus cycle. If the received
acknowledge bit (RXAK) is low, it indicates an acknowledge signal has been received after the completion of 8
bits data transmission on the bus. If RXAK is high, it means no acknowledge signal is detected at the 9th clock.
0 Acknowledge received
1 No acknowledge received

10.3.2.5 IIC Data I/O Register (IBDR)
In master transmit mode, when data is written to the IBDR a data transfer is initiated. The most significant
bit is sent first. In master receive mode, reading this register initiates next byte data receiving. In slave
mode, the same functions are available after an address match has occurred.Note that the Tx/Rx bit in the
IBCR must correctly reflect the desired direction of transfer in master and slave modes for the transmission
to begin. For instance, if the IIC is configured for master transmit but a master receive is desired, then
reading the IBDR will not initiate the receive.
Reading the IBDR will return the last byte received while the IIC is configured in either master receive or
slave receive modes. The IBDR does not reflect every byte that is transmitted on the IIC bus, nor can
software verify that a byte has been written to the IBDR correctly by reading it back.
In master transmit mode, the first byte of data written to IBDR following assertion of MS/SL is used for
the address transfer and should com.prise of the calling address (in position D7:D1) concatenated with the
required R/W bit (in position D0).
10.4 Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the IICV2.
10.4.1 I-Bus Protocol
The IIC bus system uses a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) for data transfer. All devices
connected to it must have open drain or open collector outputs. Logic AND function is exercised on both
lines with external pull-up resistors. The value of these resistors is system dependent.
Normally, a standard communication is composed of four parts: START signal, slave address transmission,
data transfer and STOP signal. They are described briefly in the following sections and illustrated in
Figure 10-9.

10.4.1.1 START Signal
When the bus is free, i.e. no master device is engaging the bus (both SCL and SDA lines are at logical
high), a master may initiate communication by sending a START signal.As shown in Figure 10-9, a
START signal is defined as a high-to-low transition of SDA while SCL is high. This signal denotes the
beginning of a new data transfer (each data transfer may contain several bytes of data) and brings all slaves
out of their idle states.

10.4.1.2 Slave Address Transmission
The first byte of data transfer immediately after the START signal is the slave address transmitted by the
master. This is a seven-bit calling address followed by a R/W bit. The R/W bit tells the slave the desired
direction of data transfer.
1 = Read transfer, the slave transmits data to the master.
0 = Write transfer, the master transmits data to the slave.
Only the slave with a calling address that matches the one transmitted by the master will respond by
sending back an acknowledge bit. This is done by pulling the SDA low at the 9th clock (see Figure 10-9).
No two slaves in the system may have the same address. If the IIC bus is master, it must not transmit an
address that is equal to its own slave address. The IIC bus cannot be master and slave at the same
time.However, if arbitration is lost during an address cycle the IIC bus will revert to slave mode and operate
correctly even if it is being addressed by another master.
10.4.1.3 Data Transfer
As soon as successful slave addressing is achieved, the data transfer can proceed byte-by-byte in a
direction specified by the R/W bit sent by the calling master
All transfers that come after an address cycle are referred to as data transfers, even if they carry sub-address
information for the slave device.
Each data byte is 8 bits long. Data may be changed only while SCL is low and must be held stable while
SCL is high as shown in Figure 10-9. There is one clock pulse on SCL for each data bit, the MSB being
transferred first. Each data byte has to be followed by an acknowledge bit, which is signalled from the
receiving device by pulling the SDA low at the ninth clock. So one complete data byte transfer needs nine
clock pulses.
If the slave receiver does not acknowledge the master, the SDA line must be left high by the slave. The
master can then generate a stop signal to abort the data transfer or a start signal (repeated start) to
commence a new calling.
If the master receiver does not acknowledge the slave transmitter after a byte transmission, it means 'end
of data' to the slave, so the slave releases the SDA line for the master to generate STOP or START signal.
10.4.1.4 STOP Signal
The master can terminate the communication by generating a STOP signal to free the bus. However, the
master may generate a START signal followed by a calling command without generating a STOP signal
first. This is called repeated START. A STOP signal is defined as a low-to-high transition of SDA while
SCL at logical 1 (see Figure 10-9).
The master can generate a STOP even if the slave has generated an acknowledge at which point the slave
must release the bus.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
322 Freescale Semiconductor
10.4.1.5 Repeated START Signal
As shown in Figure 10-9, a repeated START signal is a START signal generated without first generating a
STOP signal to terminate the communication. This is used by the master to communicate with another
slave or with the same slave in different mode (transmit/receive mode) without releasing the bus.
10.4.1.6 Arbitration Procedure
The Inter-IC bus is a true multi-master bus that allows more than one master to be connected on it. If two
or more masters try to control the bus at the same time, a clock synchronization procedure determines the
bus clock, for which the low period is equal to the longest clock low period and the high is equal to the
shortest one among the masters. The relative priority of the contending masters is determined by a data
arbitration procedure, a bus master loses arbitration if it transmits logic 1 while another master transmits
logic 0. The losing masters immediately switch over to slave receive mode and stop driving SDA output.
In this case the transition from master to slave mode does not generate a STOP condition. Meanwhile, a
status bit is set by hardware to indicate loss of arbitration.
10.4.1.7 Clock Synchronization
Because wire-AND logic is performed on SCL line, a high-to-low transition on SCL line affects all the
devices connected on the bus. The devices start counting their low period and as soon as a device's clock
has gone low, it holds the SCL line low until the clock high state is reached.However, the change of low to
high in this device clock may not change the state of the SCL line if another device clock is within its low
period. Therefore, synchronized clock SCL is held low by the device with the longest low period. Devices
with shorter low periods enter a high wait state during this time (see Figure 10-10). When all devices
concerned have counted off their low period, the synchronized clock SCL line is released and pulled high.
There is then no difference between the device clocks and the state of the SCL line and all the devices start
counting their high periods.The first device to complete its high period pulls the SCL line low again.

10.4.1.8 Handshaking
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used as a handshake in data transfer. Slave devices may hold
the SCL low after completion of one byte transfer (9 bits). In such case, it halts the bus clock and forces
the master clock into wait states until the slave releases the SCL line.
10.4.1.9 Clock Stretching
The clock synchronization mechanism can be used by slaves to slow down the bit rate of a transfer. After
the master has driven SCL low the slave can drive SCL low for the required period and then release it.If
the slave SCL low period is greater than the master SCL low period then the resulting SCL bus signal low
period is stretched.
10.4.2 Operation in Run Mode
This is the basic mode of operation.
10.4.3 Operation in Wait Mode
IIC operation in wait mode can be configured. Depending on the state of internal bits, the IIC can operate
normally when the CPU is in wait mode or the IIC clock generation can be turned off and the IIC module
enters a power conservation state during wait mode. In the later case, any transmission or reception in
progress stops at wait mode entry.
10.4.4 Operation in Stop Mode
The IIC is inactive in stop mode for reduced power consumption. The STOP instruction does not affect IIC
register states.
10.5 Resets
The reset state of each individual bit is listed in Section 10.3, “Memory Map and Register Definition,”
which details the registers and their bit-fields.
10.6 Interrupts
IICV2 uses only one interrupt vector.
Table 10-8. Interrupt Summary
Internally there are three types of interrupts in IIC. The interrupt service routine can determine the interrupt
type by reading the status register.

324 Freescale Semiconductor
IIC Interrupt can be generated on
1. Arbitration lost condition (IBAL bit set)
2. Byte transfer condition (TCF bit set)
3. Address detect condition (IAAS bit set)
The IIC interrupt is enabled by the IBIE bit in the IIC control register. It must be cleared by writing 0 to
the IBF bit in the interrupt service routine.
10.7 Initialization/Application Information
10.7.1 IIC Programming Examples
10.7.1.1 Initialization Sequence
Reset will put the IIC bus control register to its default status. Before the interface can be used to transfer
serial data, an initialization procedure must be carried out, as follows:
1. Update the frequency divider register (IBFD) and select the required division ratio to obtain SCL
frequency from system clock.
2. Update the IIC bus address register (IBAD) to define its slave address.
3. Set the IBEN bit of the IIC bus control register (IBCR) to enable the IIC interface system.
4. Modify the bits of the IIC bus control register (IBCR) to select master/slave mode, transmit/receive
mode and interrupt enable or not.
10.7.1.2 Generation of START
After completion of the initialization procedure, serial data can be transmitted by selecting the 'master
transmitter' mode. If the device is connected to a multi-master bus system, the state of the IIC bus busy bit
(IBB) must be tested to check whether the serial bus is free.
If the bus is free (IBB=0), the start condition and the first byte (the slave address) can be sent. The data
written to the data register comprises the slave calling address and the LSB set to indicate the direction of
transfer required from the slave.
The bus free time (i.e., the time between a STOP condition and the following START condition) is built
into the hardware that generates the START cycle. Depending on the relative frequencies of the system
clock and the SCL period it may be necessary to wait until the IIC is busy after writing the calling address
to the IBDR before proceeding with the following instructions. This is illustrated in the following example.
An example of a program which generates the START signal and transmits the first byte of data (slave
address) is shown below:
CHFLAG BRSET IBSR,#$20,* ;WAIT FOR IBB FLAG TO CLEAR
TXSTART BSET IBCR,#$30 ;SET TRANSMIT AND MASTER MODE;i.e. GENERATE START CONDITION
MOVB CALLING,IBDR ;TRANSMIT THE CALLING ADDRESS, D0=R/W
IBFREE BRCLR IBSR,#$20,* ;WAIT FOR IBB FLAG TO SET
Chapter 10 Inter-Integrated Circuit (IICV2) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 325
10.7.1.3 Post-Transfer Software Response
Transmission or reception of a byte will set the data transferring bit (TCF) to 1, which indicates one byte
communication is finished. The IIC bus interrupt bit (IBIF) is set also; an interrupt will be generated if the
interrupt function is enabled during initialization by setting the IBIE bit. Software must clear the IBIF bit
in the interrupt routine first. The TCF bit will be cleared by reading from the IIC bus data I/O register
(IBDR) in receive mode or writing to IBDR in transmit mode.
Software may service the IIC I/O in the main program by monitoring the IBIF bit if the interrupt function
is disabled. Note that polling should monitor the IBIF bit rather than the TCF bit because their operation
is different when arbitration is lost.
Note that when an interrupt occurs at the end of the address cycle the master will always be in transmit
mode, i.e. the address is transmitted. If master receive mode is required, indicated by R/W bit in IBDR,
then the Tx/Rx bit should be toggled at this stage.
During slave mode address cycles (IAAS=1), the SRW bit in the status register is read to determine the
direction of the subsequent transfer and the Tx/Rx bit is programmed accordingly. For slave mode data
cycles (IAAS=0) the SRW bit is not valid, the Tx/Rx bit in the control register should be read to determine
the direction of the current transfer.
The following is an example of a software response by a 'master transmitter' in the interrupt routine.
10.7.1.4 Generation of STOP
A data transfer ends with a STOP signal generated by the 'master' device. A master transmitter can simply
generate a STOP signal after all the data has been transmitted. The following is an example showing how
a stop condition is generated by a master transmitter.
If a master receiver wants to terminate a data transfer, it must inform the slave transmitter by not
acknowledging the last byte of data which can be done by setting the transmit acknowledge bit (TXAK)
before reading the 2nd last byte of data. Before reading the last byte of data, a STOP signal must be
generated first. The following is an example showing how a STOP signal is generated by a master receiver.

EMASTX RTI ;RETURN FROM INTERRUPT

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
326 Freescale Semiconductor
10.7.1.5 Generation of Repeated START
At the end of data transfer, if the master continues to want to communicate on the bus, it can generate
another START signal followed by another slave address without first generating a STOP signal. A
program example is as shown.
10.7.1.6 Slave Mode
In the slave interrupt service routine, the module addressed as slave bit (IAAS) should be tested to check
if a calling of its own address has just been received. If IAAS is set, software should set the transmit/receive
mode select bit (Tx/Rx bit of IBCR) according to the R/W command bit (SRW). Writing to the IBCR
clears the IAAS automatically. Note that the only time IAAS is read as set is from the interrupt at the end
of the address cycle where an address match occurred, interrupts resulting from subsequent data transfers
will have IAAS cleared. A data transfer may now be initiated by writing information to IBDR, for slave
transmits, or dummy reading from IBDR, in slave receive mode. The slave will drive SCL low in-between
byte transfers, SCL is released when the IBDR is accessed in the required mode.
In slave transmitter routine, the received acknowledge bit (RXAK) must be tested before transmitting the
next byte of data. Setting RXAK means an 'end of data' signal from the master receiver, after which it must
be switched from transmitter mode to receiver mode by software. A dummy read then releases the SCL
line so that the master can generate a STOP signal.
10.7.1.7 Arbitration Lost
If several masters try to engage the bus simultaneously, only one master wins and the others lose
arbitration. The devices which lost arbitration are immediately switched to slave receive mode by the
hardware. Their data output to the SDA line is stopped, but SCL continues to be generated until the end of
the byte during which arbitration was lost. An interrupt occurs at the falling edge of the ninth clock of this
transfer with IBAL=1 and MS/SL=0. If one master attempts to start transmission while the bus is being
engaged by another master, the hardware will inhibit the transmission; switch the MS/SL bit from 1 to 0
without generating STOP condition; generate an interrupt to CPU and set the IBAL to indicate that the
attempt to engage the bus is failed. When considering these cases, the slave service routine should test the
IBAL first and the software should clear the IBAL bit if it is set.

Pulse Width Modulator with Fault Protection (PMF15B6C)
Module
Table 11-1. Revision History
11.1 Introduction
The Pulse width Modulator with Fault protection (PMF) module can be configured for one, two, or three
complementary pairs. For example:
• One complementary pair and four independent PWM outputs
• Two complementary pair and two independent PWM outputs
• Three complementary pair and zero independent PWM outputs
• Zero complementary pair and six independent PWM outputs
All PWM outputs can be generated from the same counter, or each pair can have its own counter for three
independent PWM frequencies. Complementary operation permits programmable dead-time insertion,
distortion correction through current sensing by software, and separate top and bottom output polarity
control. Each counter value is programmable to support a continuously variable PWM frequency. Both
edge- and center-aligned synchronous pulse width-control and full range modulation from 0 percent to 100
percent, are supported. The PMF is capable of controlling most motor types: AC induction motors
(ACIM), both brushless (BLDC) and brush DC motors (BDC), switched (SRM) and variable reluctance
motors (VRM), and stepper motors.
11.1.1 Features
• Three complementary PWM signal pairs, or six independent PWM signals
• Three 15-bit counters
• Features of complementary channel operation
• Deadtime insertion
• Separate top and bottom pulse width correction via current status inputs or software
• Separate top and bottom polarity control

• Half-cycle reload capability
• Integral reload rates from 1 to 16
• Individual software-controlled PWM output
• Programmable fault protection
• Polarity control
11.1.2 Modes of Operation
Care must be exercised when using this module in the modes listed in Table 11-2. PWM outputs are placed
in their inactive states in STOP mode, and optionally under WAIT and FREEZE modes. PWM outputs will
be reactivated (assuming they were active to begin with) when these modes are exited
.
11.1.3 Block Diagrams
Figure 11-1 provides an overview of the PMF module.
The Mux/Swap/Current Sense block is tightly integrated with the dead time insertion block. This detail is
shown in Figure 11-2.
NOTE
It is possible to have both channels of a complementary pair to be high. For
example, if the TOPNEGA (negative polarity for PWM0), BOTNEGA
(negative polarity for PWM1), MASK0 and MASK1 bits are set, both the
PWM complementary outputs of generator A will be high. See
Section 11.3.2.2, “PMF Configure 1 Register (PMFCFG1)” for the
description of TOPNEG and BOTNEG bits, and Section 11.3.2.3, “PMF
Configure 2 Register (PMFCFG2)” for the description of the MSK0 and
MSK1 bits.

PWMENA PWM Generator A Enable — When MTG is clear, this bit when set enables the PWM generators A, B and C
and the PWM0–5 pins. When PWMENA is clear, PWM generators A, B and C are disabled, and the PWM0–5
pins are in their inactive states unless the corresponding OUTCTLx bits are set.
When MTG is set, this bit when set enables the PWM generator A and the PWM0 and PWM1 pins. When
PWMENA is clear, the PWM generator A is disabled and PWM0 and PWM1 pins are in their inactive states
unless the OUTCTL0 and OUTCTL1 bits are set.

11.3.2.24 PMF Deadtime A Register (PMFDTMA)
Read anytime. This register cannot be modified after the WP bit is set.
The 12-bit value written to this register is the number of PWM clock cycles in complementary channel
operation. A reset sets the PWM deadtime register to a default value of 0x0FFF, selecting a deadtime of
4096-PWM clock cycles minus one bus clock cycle.
NOTE
Deadtime is affected by changes to the prescaler value. The deadtime
duration is determined as follows: DT = P ×PMFDTMA – 1, where DT is
deadtime, P is the prescaler value, PMFDTMA is the programmed value of
dead time. For example: if the prescaler is programmed for a divide-by-two
and the PMFDTMA is set to five, then P = 2 and the deadtime value is equal
to DT = 2 × 5 – 1 = 9 IPbus clock cycles. A special case exists when the

11.4 Functional Description
11.4.1 Block Diagram
A block diagram of the PMF is shown in Figure 11-1.The MTG bit allows the use of multiple PWM
generators (A, B, and C) or just a single generator (A). PWM0 and PWM1 constitute Pair A, PWM2 and
PWM3 constitute Pair B, and PWM4 and PWM5 constitute Pair C.
11.4.2 Prescaler
To permit lower PWM frequencies, the prescaler produces the PWM clock frequency by dividing the bus
clock frequency by one, two, four, and eight. Each PWM generator has its own prescaler divisor. Each
prescaler is buffered and will not be used by its PWM generator until the corresponding Load OK bit is set
and a new PWM reload cycle begins.
11.4.3 PWM Generator
Each PWM generator contains a 15-bit up/down PWM counter producing output signals with software-
selectables:
• Alignment — The logic state of each pair EDGE bit determines whether the PWM pair outputs are
edge-aligned or center-aligned
• Period — The value written to each pair PWM counter modulo register is used to determine the
PWM pair period. The period can also be varied by using the prescaler
• With edge-aligned output, the modulus is the period of the PWM output in clock cycles
• With center-aligned output, the modulus is one-half of the PWM output period in clock cycles
• Pulse width — The number written to the PWM value register determines the pulse width duty
cycle of the PWM output in clock cycles
— With center-aligned output, the pulse width is twice the value written to the PWM value register
— With edge-aligned output, the pulse width is the value written to the PWM value register

11.4.3.1 Alignment
Each edge-align bit, EDGEx, selects either center-aligned or edge-aligned PWM generator outputs.
Figure 11-41. Center-Aligned PWM Output
Figure 11-42. Edge-Aligned PWM Output
NOTE
Because of the equals-comparator architecture of this PMF, the modulus
equals zero case is considered illegal. Therefore, the modulus register does
not return to zero, and a modulus value of zero will result in waveforms
inconsistent with the other modulus waveforms. If a modulus of zero is
loaded, the counter will continually count down from $7FFF. This operation
will not be tested or guaranteed. Consider it illegal. However, the dead-time
constraints and fault conditions will still be guaranteed.
11.4.3.2 Period
A PWM period is determined by the value written to the PWM counter modulo register.
The PWM counter is an up/down counter in a center-aligned operation. In this mode the PWM highest
output resolution is two bus clock cycles.

11.4.3.3 Duty Cycle
The signed 16-bit number written to the PMF value registers is the pulse width in PWM clock periods of
the PWM generator output.
NOTE
A PWM value less than or equal to zero deactivates the PWM output for the
entire PWM period. A PWM value greater than or equal to the modulus

Writing a logic zero to a INDEPx bit configures the PWM output as a pair of complementary channels.
The PWM pins are paired as shown in Figure 11-47 in complementary channel operation.
Figure 11-47. Complementary Channel Pairs
The complementary channel operation is for driving top and bottom transistors in a motor drive circuit,
such as the one in Figure 11-48.
Figure 11-48. Typical 3 Phase AC Motor Drive
In complementary channel operation, there are three additional features:
• Deadtime insertion
• Separate top and bottom pulse width correction for distortions are caused by deadtime inserted and
the motor drive characteristics
• Separate top and bottom output polarity control

11.4.5 Deadtime Generators
While in the complementary mode, each PWM pair can be used to drive top/bottom transistors, as shown
in Figure 11-49. Ideally, the PWM pairs are an inversion of each other. When the top PWM channel is
active, the bottom PWM channel is inactive, and vice versa.
NOTE
To avoid a short-circuit on the DC bus and endangering the transistor, there
must be no overlap of conducting intervals between top and bottom
transistor. But the transistor’s characteristics make its switching-off time
longer than switching-on time. To avoid the conducting overlap of top and
bottom transistors, deadtime needs to be inserted in the switching period.
Deadtime generators automatically insert software-selectable activation delays into each pair of PWM
outputs. The deadtime register (PMFDTMx) specifies the number of PWM clock cycles to use for
deadtime delay. Every time the deadtime generator input changes state, deadtime is inserted. Deadtime
forces both PWM outputs in the pair to the inactive state.
A method of correcting this, adding to or subtracting from the PWM value used, is discussed next.

NOTE
The waveform at the pad is delayed by two bus clock cycles for deadtime
insertion.
11.4.5.1 Top/Bottom Correction
In complementary mode, either the top or the bottom transistor controls the output voltage. However,
deadtime has to be inserted to avoid overlap of conducting interval between the top and bottom transistor.
Both transistors in complementary mode are off during deadtime, allowing the output voltage to be
determined by the current status of load and introduce distortion in the output voltage. See Figure 11-53.
On AC induction motors running open-loop, the distortion typically manifests itself as poor low-speed
performance, such as torque ripple and rough operation.
Figure 11-53. Deadtime Distortion
During deadtime, load inductance distorts output voltage by keeping current flowing through the diodes.
This deadtime current flow creates a load voltage that varies with current direction. With a positive current
flow, the load voltage during deadtime is equal to the bottom supply, putting the top transistor in control.
With a negative current flow, the load voltage during deadtime is equal to the top supply putting the bottom
transistor in control.
Remembering that the original PWM pulse widths were shortened by deadtime insertion, the averaged
sinusoidal output will be less than desired value. However, when deadtime is inserted, it creates a distortion
in motor current waveform. This distortion is aggravated by dissimilar turn-on and turn-off delays of each
of the transistors. By giving the PWM module information on which transistor is controlling at a given
time this distortion can be corrected.
For a typical circuit in complementary channel operation, only one of the transistors will be effective in
controlling the output voltage at any given time. This depends on the direction of the motor current for that
pair. See Figure 11-53. To correct distortion one of two different factors must be added to the desired PWM
value, depending on whether the top or bottom transistor is controlling the output voltage. Therefore, the

software is responsible for calculating both compensated PWM values prior to placing them in an odd-
numbered/even numbered PWM register pair. Either the odd or the even PMFVAL register controls the
pulse width at any given time. For a given PWM pair, whether the odd or even PMFVAL register is active
depends on either:
• The state of the current status pin, ISx, for that driver
• The state of the odd/even correction bit, IPOLx, for that driver
• To correct deadtime distortion, software can decrease or increase the value in the appropriate
PMFVAL register.
• In edge-aligned operation, decreasing or increasing the PWM value by a correction value equal to
the deadtime typically compensates for deadtime distortion.
• In center-aligned operation, decreasing or increasing the PWM value by a correction value equal
to one-half the deadtime typically compensates for deadtime distortion.
• In the complementary channel operation, ISENS selects one of three correction methods:
• Manual correction
• Automatic current status correction during deadtime
• Automatic current status correction when the PWM counter value equals the value in the PWM
counter modulus registers
NOTE
Assume the user will provide current status sensing circuitry causing the
voltage at the corresponding input pin to be low for positive current and high
for negative current. In addition, it assumes the top PWMs are PWM 0, 2,
and 4 while the bottom PWMS are PWM 1, 3, and 5.
11.4.5.2 Manual Correction
The IPOLx bits select either the odd or the even PWM value registers to use in the next PWM cycle.

NOTE
IPOLx bits are buffered so only one PWM register is used per PWM cycle.
If an IPOLx bit changes during a PWM period, the new value does not take
effect until the next PWM period.
IPOLx bits take effect at the end of each PWM cycle regardless of the state
of the load okay bit, LDOK.
Figure 11-54. Internal Correction Logic when ISENS = 01
To detect the current status, the voltage on each ISx pin is sampled twice in a PWM period, at the end of
each deadtime. The value is stored in the DTx bits in the PMF Deadtime Sample register (PMFDTMS).
The DTx bits are a timing marker especially indicating when to toggle between PWM value registers.
Software can then set the IPOLx bit to toggle PMFVAL registers according to DTx values.

If both D flip-flops latch low, DT0 = 0, DT1 = 0, during deadtime periods if current is large and flowing
out of the complementary circuit. See Figure 11-55. If both D flip-flops latch the high, DT0 = 1, DT1 = 1,
during deadtime periods if current is also large and flowing into the complementary circuit. However,
under low-current, the output voltage of the complementary circuit during deadtime is somewhere between
the high and low levels. The current cannot free-wheel throughout the opposition anti-body diode,
regardless of polarity, giving additional distortion when the current crosses zero. Sampled results will be
DT0 = 0 and DT1 = 1. Thus, the best time to change one PWM value register to another is just before the
current zero crossing.

11.4.5.3 Current-Sensing Correction
A current sense pin, ISx, for a PWM pair selects either the odd or the even PWM value registers to use in
the next PWM cycle. The selection is based on user-provided current sense circuitry driving the ISx pin
high for negative current and low for positive current.
Previously shown, the current direction can be determined by the output voltage during deadtime. Thus, a
simple external voltage sensor can be used when current status is completed during deadtime, ISENS = 10.
Deadtime does not exists at the 100 percent and zero percent duty cycle boundaries. Therefore, the second
automatic mode must be used for correction, ISENS = 11, where current status is sampled at the half cycle
in center-aligned operation and at the end of cycle in edge-aligned operation. Using this mode requires
external circuitry. It actually senses current direction.

11.4.5.4 Output Polarity
Output polarity of the PWMs is determined by two options: TOPNEG and BOTNEG. The top polarity
option, TOPNEG, controls the polarity of PWM0, PWM2 and PWM4. The bottom polarity option,
BOTNEG, controls the polarity of PWM1, PWM3 and PWM5. Positive polarity means when the PWM is
active its output is high. Conversely, negative polarity means when the PWM is active its output is low.
The TOPNEG and BOTNEG are in the configure register. TOPNEG is the output of PWM0, PWM2 and
PWM4. They are active low. If TOPNEG is set, PWM0, PWM2, and PWM4 outputs become active-low.
When BOTNEG is set, PWM1, PWM3, and PWM5 outputs are active-low. When these bits are clear, their
respective PWM pins are active-high. See Figure 11-59 and Figure 11-60.

channel. In a complementary channel operation the even OUTCTL bit is used to enable software output
control for the pair. But the OUTCTL bits must be switched in pairs for proper operation. The OUTCTLx
and OUTx bits are in the PWM output control register.
NOTE
During software output control, TOPNEG and BOTNEG still control output
polarity. It will take up to 3 clock cycles to see the effect of output control
on the PWM output pins.
In independent PWM operation, setting or clearing the OUTx bit activates or deactivates the PWMx
output.
In complementary channel operation, the even-numbered OUTx bits replace the PWM generator outputs
as inputs to the deadtime generators. Complementary channel pairs still cannot be active simultaneously,
and the deadtime generators continue to insert deadtime in both channels of that pair, whenever an even
OUTx bit toggles. Even OUTx bits control the top PWM signals while the odd OUTx bits control the
bottom PWM signals with respect to the even OUTx bits. Setting the odd OUTx bit makes its
corresponding PWMx the complement of its even pair, while clearing the odd OUTx bit deactivates the
odd PWMx.
Setting the OUTCTLx bits do not disable the PWM generators and current status sensing circuitry. They
continue to run, but no longer control the output pins. When the OUTCTLx bits are cleared, the outputs of
the PWM generator become the inputs to the deadtime generators at the beginning of the next PWM cycle.
Software can drive the PWM outputs even when PWM enable bit (PWMEN) is set to zero.
NOTE
Avoid an unexpected deadtime insertion by clearing the OUTx bits before
setting and after clearing the OUTCTLx bits.

11.4.7 PWM Generator Loading
11.4.7.1 Load Enable
The load okay bit, LDOK, enables loading the PWM generator with:
• A prescaler divisor—from the PRSC1 and PRSC0 bits in PWM control register
• A PWM period—from the PWM counter modulus registers
• A PWM pulse width—from the PWM value registers
LDOK prevents reloading of these PWM parameters before software is finished calculating them Setting
LDOK allows the prescaler bits, PMFMOD and PMFVALx registers to be loaded into a set of buffers. The
loaded buffers use the PWM generator at the beginning of the next PWM reload cycle. Set LDOK by
reading it when it is a logic zero and then writing a logic one to it. After loading, LDOK is automatically
cleared.
11.4.7.2 Load Frequency
The LDFQ3, LDFQ2, LDFQ1, and LDFQ0 bits in the PWM control register (PWMCTL) select an integral
loading frequency of one to 16-PWM reload opportunities. The LDFQ bits take effect at every PWM
reload opportunity, regardless the state of the load okay bit, LDOK. The half bit in the PWMCTL register
controls half-cycle reloads for center-aligned PWMs. If the half bit is set, a reload opportunity occurs at
the beginning of every PWM cycle and half cycle when the count equals the modulus. If the half bit is not
set, a reload opportunity occurs only at the beginning of every cycle. Reload opportunities can only occur
at the beginning of a PWM cycle in edge-aligned mode.

NOTE
Loading a new modulus on a half cycle will force the count to the new
modulus value minus one on the next clock cycle. Half cycle reloads are
possible only in center-aligned mode. Enabling or disabling half-cycle
reloads in edge-aligned mode will have no effect on the reload rate.

With a reload opportunity, regardless an actual reload occurs as determined by LDOK bit, the PWMF
reload flag is set. If the PWM reload interrupt enable bit, PWMRIE is set, the PWMF flag generates
CPU interrupt requests allowing software to calculate new PWM parameters in real time. When
PWMRIE is not set, reloads still occur at the selected reload rate without generating CPU interrupt
requests.

a PWM value of $0000, and an unknown modulus.
The PWM generator uses the last values loaded if PWMEN is cleared and then set while LDOK equals
zero.
Initializing the deadtime register, after setting PWMEN or OUTCTLx, can cause an improper deadtime
insertion. However, the deadtime can never be shorter than the specified value.
Figure 11-74. PWMEN and PWM Pins in Independent Operation
Figure 11-75. PWMEN and PWM Pins in Complementary Operation
When the PWMEN bit is cleared:
• The PWMx outputs will be tri-stated unless OUTCTLx = 1
• The PWM counter is cleared and does not count
• The PWM generator forces its outputs to zero
• The PWMRF flag and pending CPU interrupt requests are not cleared
• All fault circuitry remains active unless FPINEx = 0
• Software output control remains active
• Deadtime insertion continues during software output control
11.4.8 Fault Protection
Fault protection can disable any combination of PWM pins. Faults are generated by a logic one on any of
the FAULT pins. Each FAULT pin can be mapped arbitrarily to any of the PWM pins.

When fault protection hardware disables PWM pins, the PWM generator continues to run, only the output
pins are deactivated.
The fault decoder disables PWM pins selected by the fault logic and the disable mapping register. See
Figure 11-15. Each bank of four bits in the disable mapping register control the mapping for a single PWM
pin. Refer to Table 11-12.
The fault protection is enabled even when the PWM is not enabled; therefore, a fault will be latched in and
will be cleared in order to prevent an interrupt when the PWM is enabled.
11.4.8.1 Fault Pin Sample Filter
Each fault pin has a sample filter to test for fault conditions. After every bus cycle setting the FAULTx pin
at logic zero, the filter synchronously samples the pin once every four bus cycles. QSMP determines the
number of consecutive samples that must be logic one for a fault to be detected. When a fault is detected,
the corresponding FAULTx pin flag, FFLAGx, is set. Clear FFLAGx by writing a logic one to it.
If the FIEx, FAULTx pin interrupt enable bit is set, the FFLAGx flag generates a CPU interrupt request.
The interrupt request latch remains set until:
• Software clears the FFLAGx flag by writing a logic one to it
• Software clears the FIEx bit by writing a logic zero to it
• A reset occurs
11.4.8.2 Automatic Fault Clearing
Setting a fault mode bit, FMODEx, configures faults from the FAULTx pin for automatic clearing.
When FMODEx is set, disabled PWM pins are enabled when the FAULTx pin returns to logic zero and a
new PWM half cycle begins. See Figure 11-76. Clearing the FFLAGx flag does not affect disabled PWM
pins when FMODEx is set.
Figure 11-76. Automatic Fault Clearing
11.4.8.3 Manual Fault Clearing
Clearing a fault mode bit, FMODEx, configures faults from the FAULTx pin for manual clearing:
• PWM pins disabled by the FAULT0 pin or the FAULT2 pin are enabled by clearing the
corresponding FFLAGx flag. The time at which the PWM pins are enabled depends on the
corresponding QSMPx bit setting. If QSMPx = 00, the PWM pins are enabled on the next IP bus
cycle when the logic level detected by the filter at the fault pin is logic zero. If QSMPx = 01,10 or

11, the PWMs are enabled when the next PWM half cycle begins regardless of the state of the logic
level detected by the filter at the fault. See Figure 11-77 and Figure 11-78.
• PWM pins disabled by the FAULT1 pin or the FAULT3 pin are enabled when
— Software clears the corresponding FFLAGx flag
— The filter detects a logic zero on the fault pin at the start of the next PWM half cycle boundary.

NOTE
Fault protection also applies during software output control when the
OUTCTLx bits are set. Fault clearing still occurs at half PWM cycle
boundaries while the PWM generator is engaged, PWMEN equals one. But
the OUTx bits can control the PWM pins while the PWM generator is off,
PWMEN equals zero. Thus, fault clearing occurs at IPbus cycles while the
PWM generator is off and at the start of PWM cycles when the generator is
engaged.
11.5 Resets
All PWM registers are reset to their default values upon any system reset.
11.6 Clocks
The system bus clock is the only clock required by this module.
11.7 Interrupts
Seven PWM sources can generate CPU interrupt requests:
• Reload flag x (PWMRFx)—PWMRFx is set at the beginning of every PWM Generator x reload
cycle. The reload interrupt enable bit, PWMRIEx, enables PWMRFx to generate CPU interrupt
requests.
where x is A, B and C.
• Fault flag x (FFLAGx)—The FFLAGx bit is set when a logic one occurs on the FAULTx pin. The
fault pin interrupt enable x bit, FIEx, enables the FFLAGx flag to generate CPU interrupt requests.
where x is 0, 1, 2 and 3.

In general, electrical specifications may vary a bit from chip to chip. This section illustrates typical

Pulse-Width Modulator (PWM8B6CV1) Block Description
12.1 Introduction
The pulse width modulation (PWM) definition is based on the HC12 PWM definitions. The PWM8B6CV1
module contains the basic features from the HC11 with some of the enhancements incorporated on the
HC12, that is center aligned output mode and four available clock sources. The PWM8B6CV1 module has
six channels with independent control of left and center aligned outputs on each channel.
Each of the six PWM channels has a programmable period and duty cycle as well as a dedicated counter.
A flexible clock select scheme allows a total of four different clock sources to be used with the counters.
Each of the modulators can create independent continuous waveforms with software-selectable duty rates
from 0% to 100%. The PWM outputs can be programmed as left aligned outputs or center aligned outputs
12.1.1 Features
• Six independent PWM channels with programmable period and duty cycle
• Dedicated counter for each PWM channel
• Programmable PWM enable/disable for each channel
• Software selection of PWM duty pulse polarity for each channel
• Period and duty cycle are double buffered. Change takes effect when the end of the effective period
is reached (PWM counter reaches 0) or when the channel is disabled.
• Programmable center or left aligned outputs on individual channels
• Six 8-bit channel or three 16-bit channel PWM resolution
• Four clock sources (A, B, SA, and SB) provide for a wide range of frequencies.
• Programmable clock select logic
• Emergency shutdown
12.1.2 Modes of Operation
There is a software programmable option for low power consumption in wait mode that disables the input
clock to the prescaler.
In freeze mode there is a software programmable option to disable the input clock to the prescaler. This is
useful for emulation.

12.3 Memory Map and Register Definition
This subsection describes in detail all the registers and register bits in the PWM8B6CV1 module.
The special-purpose registers and register bit functions that would not normally be made available to
device end users, such as factory test control registers and reserved registers are clearly identified by means
of shading the appropriate portions of address maps and register diagrams. Notes explaining the reasons
for restricting access to the registers and functions are also explained in the individual register descriptions.
12.3.1 Module Memory Map
The following paragraphs describe the content of the registers in the PWM8B6CV1 module. The base
address of the PWM8B6CV1 module is determined at the MCU level when the MCU is defined. The
register decode map is fixed and begins at the first address of the module address offset. Table 12-1 shows
the registers associated with the PWM and their relative offset from the base address. The register detail
description follows the order in which they appear in the register map.
Reserved bits within a register will always read as 0 and the write will be unimplemented. Unimplemented
functions are indicated by shading the bit.
Table 12-1 shows the memory map for the PWM8B6CV1 module.
NOTE
Register address = base address + address offset, where the base address is
defined at the MCU level and the address offset is defined at the module
level.

12.3.2.1 PWM Enable Register (PWME)
Each PWM channel has an enable bit (PWMEx) to start its waveform output. When any of the PWMEx
bits are set (PWMEx = 1), the associated PWM output is enabled immediately. However, the actual PWM
waveform is not available on the associated PWM output until its clock source begins its next cycle due to
the synchronization of PWMEx and the clock source.
NOTE
The first PWM cycle after enabling the channel can be irregular.
An exception to this is when channels are concatenated. After concatenated mode is enabled (CONxx bits
set in PWMCTL register), enabling/disabling the corresponding 16-bit PWM channel is controlled by the
low-order PWMEx bit. In this case, the high-order bytes PWMEx bits have no effect and their
corresponding PWM output lines are disabled.
While in run mode, if all six PWM channels are disabled (PWME5–PWME0 = 0), the prescaler counter
shuts off for power savings.

There are three control bits for concatenation, each of which is used to concatenate a pair of PWM
channels into one 16-bit channel. When channels 4 and 5 are concatenated, channel 4 registers become the
high-order bytes of the double-byte channel. When channels 2 and 3 are concatenated, channel 2 registers
become the high-order bytes of the double-byte channel. When channels 0 and 1 are concatenated,
channel 0 registers become the high-order bytes of the double-byte channel.

PSWAI PWM Stops in Wait Mode — Enabling this bit allows for lower power consumption in wait mode by disabling the
input clock to the prescaler.
0 Allow the clock to the prescaler to continue while in wait mode.
1 Stop the input clock to the prescaler whenever the MCU is in wait mode.
2
PFRZ PWM Counters Stop in Freeze Mode — In freeze mode, there is an option to disable the input clock to the
prescaler by setting the PFRZ bit in the PWMCTL register. If this bit is set, whenever the MCU is in freeze mode
the input clock to the prescaler is disabled. This feature is useful during emulation as it allows the PWM function
to be suspended. In this way, the counters of the PWM can be stopped while in freeze mode so that after normal
program flow is continued, the counters are re-enabled to simulate real-time operations. Because the registers
remain accessible in this mode, to re-enable the prescaler clock, either disable the PFRZ bit or exit freeze mode.
0 Allow PWM to continue while in freeze mode.
1 Disable PWM input clock to the prescaler whenever the part is in freeze mode. This is useful for emulation.

12.3.2.12 PWM Channel Counter Registers (PWMCNTx)
Each channel has a dedicated 8-bit up/down counter which runs at the rate of the selected clock source.
The counter can be read at any time without affecting the count or the operation of the PWM channel. In
left aligned output mode, the counter counts from 0 to the value in the period register – 1. In center aligned
output mode, the counter counts from 0 up to the value in the period register and then back down to 0.
Any value written to the counter causes the counter to reset to 0x0000, the counter direction to be set to
up, the immediate load of both duty and period registers with values from the buffers, and the output to
change according to the polarity bit. The counter is also cleared at the end of the effective period (see
Section 12.4.2.5, “Left Aligned Outputs,” and Section 12.4.2.6, “Center Aligned Outputs,” for more
details). When the channel is disabled (PWMEx = 0), the PWMCNTx register does not count. When a
channel becomes enabled (PWMEx = 1), the associated PWM counter starts at the count in the
PWMCNTx register. For more detailed information on the operation of the counters, reference
Section 12.4.2.4, “PWM Timer Counters.”
In concatenated mode, writes to the 16-bit counter by using a 16-bit access or writes to either the low- or
high-order byte of the counter will reset the 16-bit counter. Reads of the 16-bit counter must be made by
16-bit access to maintain data coherency.
NOTE
Writing to the counter while the channel is enabled can cause an irregular
PWM cycle to occur.

• The channel is disabled
In this way, the output of the PWM will always be either the old waveform or the new waveform, not some
variation in between. If the channel is not enabled, then writes to the period register will go directly to the
latches as well as the buffer.
NOTE
Reads of this register return the most recent value written. Reads do not
necessarily return the value of the currently active period due to the double
buffering scheme.
Reference Section 12.4.2.3, “PWM Period and Duty,” for more information.
To calculate the output period, take the selected clock source period for the channel of interest (A, B, SA,
or SB) and multiply it by the value in the period register for that channel:
• Left aligned output (CAEx = 0)
• PWMx period = channel clock period * PWMPERx center aligned output (CAEx = 1)
• PWMx period = channel clock period * (2 * PWMPERx)

12.3.2.14 PWM Channel Duty Registers (PWMDTYx)
There is a dedicated duty register for each channel. The value in this register determines the duty of the
associated PWM channel. The duty value is compared to the counter and if it is equal to the counter value
a match occurs and the output changes state.
The duty registers for each channel are double buffered so that if they change while the channel is enabled,
the change will NOT take effect until one of the following occurs:
• The effective period ends
• The counter is written (counter resets to 0x0000)
• The channel is disabled

NOTE
Reads of this register return the most recent value written. Reads do not
necessarily return the value of the currently active duty due to the double
buffering scheme.
Reference Section 12.4.2.3, “PWM Period and Duty,” for more information.
NOTE
Depending on the polarity bit, the duty registers will contain the count of
either the high time or the low time. If the polarity bit is 1, the output starts
high and then goes low when the duty count is reached, so the duty registers
contain a count of the high time. If the polarity bit is 0, the output starts low
and then goes high when the duty count is reached, so the duty registers
contain a count of the low time.
To calculate the output duty cycle (high time as a % of period) for a particular channel:
• Polarity = 0 (PPOLx = 0)
Duty cycle = [(PWMPERx PWMDTYx)/PWMPERx] * 100%
• Polarity = 1 (PPOLx = 1)
Duty cycle = [PWMDTYx / PWMPERx] * 100%

12.4 Functional Description
12.4.1 PWM Clock Select
There are four available clocks called clock A, clock B, clock SA (scaled A), and clock SB (scaled B).
These four clocks are based on the bus clock.
Clock A and B can be software selected to be 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,..., 1/64, 1/128 times the bus clock. Clock SA
uses clock A as an input and divides it further with a reloadable counter. Similarly, clock SB uses clock B
as an input and divides it further with a reloadable counter. The rates available for clock SA are software
selectable to be clock A divided by 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., or 512 in increments of divide by 2. Similar rates are
available for clock SB. Each PWM channel has the capability of selecting one of two clocks, either the
pre-scaled clock (clock A or B) or the scaled clock (clock SA or SB).
The block diagram in Figure 12-34 shows the four different clocks and how the scaled clocks are created.
12.4.1.1 Prescale
The input clock to the PWM prescaler is the bus clock. It can be disabled whenever the part is in freeze
mode by setting the PFRZ bit in the PWMCTL register. If this bit is set, whenever the MCU is in freeze
mode the input clock to the prescaler is disabled. This is useful for emulation in order to freeze the PWM.
The input clock can also be disabled when all six PWM channels are disabled (PWME5–PWME0 = 0)
This is useful for reducing power by disabling the prescale counter.
Clock A and clock B are scaled values of the input clock. The value is software selectable for both clock A
and clock B and has options of 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, or 1/128 times the bus clock. The value
selected for clock A is determined by the PCKA2, PCKA1, and PCKA0 bits in the PWMPRCLK register.
The value selected for clock B is determined by the PCKB2, PCKB1, and PCKB0 bits also in the
PWMPRCLK register.

12.4.1.2 Clock Scale
The scaled A clock uses clock A as an input and divides it further with a user programmable value and
then divides this by 2. The scaled B clock uses clock B as an input and divides it further with a user
programmable value and then divides this by 2. The rates available for clock SA are software selectable
to be clock A divided by 2, 4, 6, 8, ..., or 512 in increments of divide by 2. Similar rates are available for
clock SB.
Clock A is used as an input to an 8-bit down counter. This down counter loads a user programmable scale
value from the scale register (PWMSCLA). When the down counter reaches 1, two things happen; a pulse
is output and the 8-bit counter is re-loaded. The output signal from this circuit is further divided by two.
This gives a greater range with only a slight reduction in granularity. Clock SA equals clock A divided by
two times the value in the PWMSCLA register.
NOTE
Clock SA = Clock A / (2 * PWMSCLA)
When PWMSCLA = 0x0000, PWMSCLA value is considered a full scale
value of 256. Clock A is thus divided by 512.
Similarly, clock B is used as an input to an 8-bit down counter followed by a divide by two producing clock
SB. Thus, clock SB equals clock B divided by two times the value in the PWMSCLB register.
NOTE
Clock SB = Clock B / (2 * PWMSCLB)
When PWMSCLB = 0x0000, PWMSCLB value is considered a full scale
value of 256. Clock B is thus divided by 512.
As an example, consider the case in which the user writes 0x00FF into the PWMSCLA register. Clock A
for this case will be bus clock divided by 4. A pulse will occur at a rate of once every 255 x 4 bus cycles.
Passing this through the divide by two circuit produces a clock signal at a bus clock divided by 2040 rate.
Similarly, a value of 0x0001 in the PWMSCLA register when clock A is bus clock divided by 4 will
produce a bus clock divided by 8 rate.
Writing to PWMSCLA or PWMSCLB causes the associated 8-bit down counter to be re-loaded.
Otherwise, when changing rates the counter would have to count down to 0x0001 before counting at the
proper rate. Forcing the associated counter to re-load the scale register value every time PWMSCLA or
PWMSCLB is written prevents this.
NOTE
Writing to the scale registers while channels are operating can cause
irregularities in the PWM outputs.

12.4.1.3 Clock Select
Each PWM channel has the capability of selecting one of two clocks. For channels 0, 1, 4, and 5 the clock
choices are clock A or clock SA. For channels 2 and 3 the choices are clock B or clock SB. The clock
selection is done with the PCLKx control bits in the PWMCLK register.
NOTE
Changing clock control bits while channels are operating can cause
irregularities in the PWM outputs.
12.4.2 PWM Channel Timers
The main part of the PWM module are the actual timers. Each of the timer channels has a counter, a period
register and a duty register (each are 8 bit). The waveform output period is controlled by a match between
the period register and the value in the counter. The duty is controlled by a match between the duty register
and the counter value and causes the state of the output to change during the period. The starting polarity
of the output is also selectable on a per channel basis. Figure 12-35 shows a block diagram for PWM timer.

12.4.2.1 PWM Enable
Each PWM channel has an enable bit (PWMEx) to start its waveform output. When any of the PWMEx
bits are set (PWMEx = 1), the associated PWM output signal is enabled immediately. However, the actual
PWM waveform is not available on the associated PWM output until its clock source begins its next cycle
due to the synchronization of PWMEx and the clock source. An exception to this is when channels are
concatenated. Refer to Section 12.4.2.7, “PWM 16-Bit Functions,” for more detail.
NOTE
The first PWM cycle after enabling the channel can be irregular.
On the front end of the PWM timer, the clock is enabled to the PWM circuit by the PWMEx bit being high.
There is an edge-synchronizing circuit to guarantee that the clock will only be enabled or disabled at an
edge. When the channel is disabled (PWMEx = 0), the counter for the channel does not count.
12.4.2.2 PWM Polarity
Each channel has a polarity bit to allow starting a waveform cycle with a high or low signal. This is shown
on the block diagram as a mux select of either the Q output or the Q output of the PWM output flip-flop.
When one of the bits in the PWMPOL register is set, the associated PWM channel output is high at the
beginning of the waveform, then goes low when the duty count is reached. Conversely, if the polarity bit
is 0, the output starts low and then goes high when the duty count is reached.
12.4.2.3 PWM Period and Duty
Dedicated period and duty registers exist for each channel and are double buffered so that if they change
while the channel is enabled, the change will NOT take effect until one of the following occurs:
• The effective period ends
• The counter is written (counter resets to 0x0000)
• The channel is disabled
In this way, the output of the PWM will always be either the old waveform or the new waveform, not some
variation in between. If the channel is not enabled, then writes to the period and duty registers will go
directly to the latches as well as the buffer.
A change in duty or period can be forced into effect “immediately” by writing the new value to the duty
and/or period registers and then writing to the counter. This forces the counter to reset and the new duty
and/or period values to be latched. In addition, because the counter is readable it is possible to know where
the count is with respect to the duty value and software can be used to make adjustments.
NOTE
When forcing a new period or duty into effect immediately, an irregular
PWM cycle can occur.
Depending on the polarity bit, the duty registers will contain the count of
either the high time or the low time.

12.4.2.4 PWM Timer Counters
Each channel has a dedicated 8-bit up/down counter which runs at the rate of the selected clock source
(reference Figure 12-34 for the available clock sources and rates). The counter compares to two registers,
a duty register and a period register as shown in Figure 12-35. When the PWM counter matches the duty
register the output flip-flop changes state causing the PWM waveform to also change state. A match
between the PWM counter and the period register behaves differently depending on what output mode is
selected as shown in Figure 12-35 and described in Section 12.4.2.5, “Left Aligned Outputs,” and
Section 12.4.2.6, “Center Aligned Outputs.”
Each channel counter can be read at anytime without affecting the count or the operation of the PWM
channel.
Any value written to the counter causes the counter to reset to 0x0000, the counter direction to be set to
up, the immediate load of both duty and period registers with values from the buffers, and the output to
change according to the polarity bit. When the channel is disabled (PWMEx = 0), the counter stops. When
a channel becomes enabled (PWMEx = 1), the associated PWM counter continues from the count in the
PWMCNTx register. This allows the waveform to resume when the channel is re-enabled. When the
channel is disabled, writing 0 to the period register will cause the counter to reset on the next selected
clock.
NOTE
If the user wants to start a new “clean” PWM waveform without any
“history” from the old waveform, the user must write to channel counter
(PWMCNTx) prior to enabling the PWM channel (PWMEx = 1).
Generally, writes to the counter are done prior to enabling a channel to start from a known state. However,
writing a counter can also be done while the PWM channel is enabled (counting). The effect is similar to
writing the counter when the channel is disabled except that the new period is started immediately with
the output set according to the polarity bit.
NOTE
Writing to the counter while the channel is enabled can cause an irregular
PWM cycle to occur.
The counter is cleared at the end of the effective period (see Section 12.4.2.5, “Left Aligned Outputs,”and
Section 12.4.2.6, “Center Aligned Outputs,” for more details).

12.4.2.5 Left Aligned Outputs
The PWM timer provides the choice of two types of outputs, left aligned or center aligned outputs. They
are selected with the CAEx bits in the PWMCAE register. If the CAEx bit is cleared (CAEx = 0), the
corresponding PWM output will be left aligned.
In left aligned output mode, the 8-bit counter is configured as an up counter only. It compares to two
registers, a duty register and a period register as shown in the block diagram in Figure 12-35. When the
PWM counter matches the duty register the output flip-flop changes state causing the PWM waveform to
also change state. A match between the PWM counter and the period register resets the counter and the
output flip-flop as shown in Figure 12-35 as well as performing a load from the double buffer period and
duty register to the associated registers as described in Section 12.4.2.3, “PWM Period and Duty.” The
counter counts from 0 to the value in the period register – 1.
NOTE
Changing the PWM output mode from left aligned output to center aligned
output (or vice versa) while channels are operating can cause irregularities
in the PWM output. It is recommended to program the output mode before
enabling the PWM channel.
Figure 12-36. PWM Left Aligned Output Waveform
To calculate the output frequency in left aligned output mode for a particular channel, take the selected
clock source frequency for the channel (A, B, SA, or SB) and divide it by the value in the period register
for that channel.
• PWMx frequency = clock (A, B, SA, or SB) / PWMPERx
• PWMx duty cycle (high time as a% of period):
— Polarity = 0 (PPOLx = 0)
Duty cycle = [(PWMPERx-PWMDTYx)/PWMPERx] * 100%
— Polarity = 1 (PPOLx = 1)
Duty cycle = [PWMDTYx / PWMPERx] * 100%
As an example of a left aligned output, consider the following case:
Clock source = bus clock, where bus clock = 10 MHz (100 ns period)
PPOLx = 0
PWMPERx = 4
PWMDTYx = 1
PWMx frequency = 10 MHz/4 = 2.5 MHz
PWMx period = 400 ns
PWMx duty cycle = 3/4 *100% = 75%

Period = PWMPERx
PPOLx = 0

12.4.2.6 Center Aligned Outputs
For center aligned output mode selection, set the CAEx bit (CAEx = 1) in the PWMCAE register and the
corresponding PWM output will be center aligned.
The 8-bit counter operates as an up/down counter in this mode and is set to up whenever the counter is
equal to 0x0000. The counter compares to two registers, a duty register and a period register as shown in
the block diagram in Figure 12-35. When the PWM counter matches the duty register the output flip-flop
changes state causing the PWM waveform to also change state. A match between the PWM counter and
the period register changes the counter direction from an up-count to a down-count. When the PWM
counter decrements and matches the duty register again, the output flip-flop changes state causing the
PWM output to also change state. When the PWM counter decrements and reaches 0, the counter direction
changes from a down-count back to an up-count and a load from the double buffer period and duty
registers to the associated registers is performed as described in Section 12.4.2.3, “PWM Period and
Duty.” The counter counts from 0 up to the value in the period register and then back down to 0. Thus the
effective period is PWMPERx*2.
NOTE
Changing the PWM output mode from left aligned output to center aligned
output (or vice versa) while channels are operating can cause irregularities
in the PWM output. It is recommended to program the output mode before
enabling the PWM channel.

To calculate the output frequency in center aligned output mode for a particular channel, take the selected
clock source frequency for the channel (A, B, SA, or SB) and divide it by twice the value in the period
register for that channel.
• PWMx frequency = clock (A, B, SA, or SB) / (2*PWMPERx)
• PWMx duty cycle (high time as a% of period):
— Polarity = 0 (PPOLx = 0)
Duty cycle = [(PWMPERx-PWMDTYx)/PWMPERx] * 100%
— Polarity = 1 (PPOLx = 1)
Duty cycle = [PWMDTYx / PWMPERx] * 100%
As an example of a center aligned output, consider the following case:
Clock source = bus clock, where bus clock = 10 MHz (100 ns period)
PPOLx = 0
PWMPERx = 4
PWMDTYx = 1
PWMx frequency = 10 MHz/8 = 1.25 MHz
PWMx period = 800 ns
PWMx duty cycle = 3/4 *100% = 75%
Shown below is the output waveform generated.

12.4.2.7 PWM 16-Bit Functions
The PWM timer also has the option of generating 6-channels of 8-bits or 3-channels of 16-bits for greater
PWM resolution}. This 16-bit channel option is achieved through the concatenation of two 8-bit channels.
The PWMCTL register contains three control bits, each of which is used to concatenate a pair of PWM
channels into one 16-bit channel. Channels 4 and 5 are concatenated with the CON45 bit, channels 2 and 3
are concatenated with the CON23 bit, and channels 0 and 1 are concatenated with the CON01 bit.
NOTE
Change these bits only when both corresponding channels are disabled.
When channels 4 and 5 are concatenated, channel 4 registers become the high-order bytes of the double
byte channel as shown in Figure 12-40. Similarly, when channels 2 and 3 are concatenated, channel 2
registers become the high-order bytes of the double byte channel. When channels 0 and 1 are concatenated,
channel 0 registers become the high-order bytes of the double byte channel.

Figure 12-40. PWM 16-Bit Mode
When using the 16-bit concatenated mode, the clock source is determined by the low-order 8-bit channel
clock select control bits. That is channel 5 when channels 4 and 5 are concatenated, channel 3 when
channels 2 and 3 are concatenated, and channel 1 when channels 0 and 1 are concatenated. The resulting
PWM is output to the pins of the corresponding low-order 8-bit channel as also shown in Figure 12-40.
The polarity of the resulting PWM output is controlled by the PPOLx bit of the corresponding low-order
8-bit channel as well.
After concatenated mode is enabled (CONxx bits set in PWMCTL register), enabling/disabling the
corresponding 16-bit PWM channel is controlled by the low-order PWMEx bit. In this case, the high-order
bytes PWMEx bits have no effect and their corresponding PWM output is disabled.
In concatenated mode, writes to the 16-bit counter by using a 16-bit access or writes to either the low or
high-order byte of the counter will reset the 16-bit counter. Reads of the 16-bit counter must be made by
16-bit access to maintain data coherency.
Either left aligned or center aligned output mode can be used in concatenated mode and is controlled by
the low-order CAEx bit. The high-order CAEx bit has no effect.

if the corresponding enable bit (PWMIE) is set. This bit is the enable for the interrupt. The interrupt flag
PWMIF is set whenever the input level of the PWM5 channel changes while PWM5ENA=1 or when
PWMENA is being asserted while the level at PWM5 is active.
A description of the registers involved and affected due to this interrupt is explained in Section 12.3.2.15,

Timer (S12TIM16B4CV1) Block Description
13.1 Introduction
The basic timer consists of a 16-bit, software-programmable counter driven by a seven-stage
programmable prescaler.
This timer can be used for many purposes, including input waveform measurements while simultaneously
generating an output waveform. Pulse widths can vary from microseconds to many seconds.
This timer contains 4 complete input capture/output compare channels [IOC 7:4] and one pulse
accumulator. The input capture function is used to detect a selected transition edge and record the time.
The output compare function is used for generating output signals or for timer software delays.The 16-bit
pulse accumulator is used to operate as a simple event counter or a gated time accumulator.The pulse
accumulator shares timer channel 7 pin when in event mode.
A full access for the counter registers or the input capture/output compare registers should take place in
one clock cycle. Accessing high byte and low byte separately for all of these registers may not yield the
same result as accessing them in one word.
13.1.1 Features
The S12TIM16B4C includes these distinctive features:
• Four input capture/output compare channels.
• Clock prescaling.
• 16-bit counter.
• 16-bit pulse accumulator.
13.1.2 Modes of Operation
STOP: Timer is off since clocks are stopped.
FREEZE: Timer counter keeps running, unless TSFRZ in TSCR ($06) is set to one.
WAIT: Counters keeps running, unless TSWAI in TSCR ($06) is set to one.
NORMAL:Timer counter keeps running, unless TEN in TSCR ($06) is cleared.

These four pairs of control bits are encoded to specify the output action to be taken as a result of a successful
Output Compare on "n" channel. When either OMn or OLn is one, the pin associated with the corresponding

corresponding bit in OC7M should be cleared.
To operate the 16-bit pulse accumulator independently of input capture or output compare 7 and 4 respectively
the user must set the corresponding bits IOSn = 1, OMn = 0, OLn = 0 and OC7M7 = 0
See Table 13-8.
To enable output action using the OM7 and OL7 bits on the timer port,the corresponding bit
OC7M7 in the OC7M register must also be cleared. The settings for these bits can be seen in

13.4.3 Input Capture
Clearing the I/O (input/output) select bit, IOSn, configures channel n as an input capture channel. The
input capture function captures the time at which an external event occurs. When an active edge occurs on
the pin of an input capture channel, the timer transfers the value in the timer counter into the timer channel
registers, TCn.
The minimum pulse width for the input capture input is greater than two bus clocks.
An input capture on channel n sets the CnF flag. The CnI bit enables the CnF flag to generate interrupt
requests.
13.4.4 Output Compare
Setting the I/O select bit, IOSn, configures channel n as an output compare channel. The output compare
function can generate a periodic pulse with a programmable polarity, duration, and frequency. When the
timer counter reaches the value in the channel registers of an output compare channel, the timer can set,
clear, or toggle the channel pin. An output compare on channel n sets the CnF flag. The CnI bit enables the
CnF flag to generate interrupt requests.
The output mode and level bits, OMn and OLn, select set, clear, toggle on output compare. Clearing both
OMn and OLn disconnects the pin from the output logic.
Setting a force output compare bit, FOCn, causes an output compare on channel n. A forced output
compare does not set the channel flag.
A successful output compare on channel 7 overrides output compares on all other output compare
channels. The output compare 7 mask register masks the bits in the output compare 7 data register. The
timer counter reset enable bit, TCRE, enables channel 7 output compares to reset the timer counter. A
channel 7 output compare can reset the timer counter even if the IOC7 pin is being used as the pulse
accumulator input.
Writing to the timer port bit of an output compare pin does not affect the pin state. The value written is
stored in an internal latch. When the pin becomes available for general-purpose output, the last value
written to the bit appears at the pin.
When TCRE is set and TC7 is not equal to 0, then TCNT will cycle from 0 to TC7. When TCNT reaches
TC7 value, it will last only one bus cycle then reset to 0.
Note: in Figure 13-21,if PR[2:0] is equal to 0, one prescaler counter equal to one bus clock

13.4.5 Pulse Accumulator
The pulse accumulator (PACNT) is a 16-bit counter that can operate in two modes:
• Event counter mode — Counting edges of selected polarity on the pulse accumulator input pin,
IOC7.
• Gated time accumulation mode — Counting pulses from a divide-by-64 clock. The PAMOD bit
selects the mode of operation.
The minimum pulse width for the PAI input is greater than two bus clocks. The maximum input frequency
on the pulse accumulator channel is one half the bus frequency or Eclk.
Figure 13-22. Pulse Accumulator System Block Diagram
13.4.5.1 Event Counter Mode
Clearing the PAMOD bit configures the PACNT for event counter operation. An active edge on the IOC7
pin increments the pulse accumulator counter. The PEDGE bit selects falling edges or rising edges to
increment the count.

NOTE
The PACNT input and timer channel 7 use the same pin IOC7. To use the
IOC7, disconnect it from the output logic by clearing the channel 7 output
mode and output level bits, OM7 and OL7. Also clear the channel 7 output
compare 7 mask bit, OC7M7.
The Pulse Accumulator counter register reflect the number of active input edges on the PACNT input pin,
IOC7 since the last reset.
The PAOVF bit is set when the accumulator rolls over from $FFFF to $0000. The pulse accumulator
overflow interrupt enable bit, PAOVI, enables the PAOVF flag to generate interrupt requests.
NOTE
The pulse accumulator counter can operate in event counter mode even
when the timer enable bit, TEN, is clear.
13.4.5.2 Gated Time Accumulation Mode
Setting the PAMOD bit configures the pulse accumulator for gated time accumulation operation. An active
level on the PACNT input pin enables a divided-by-64 clock to drive the pulse accumulator. The PEDGE
bit selects low levels or high levels to enable the divided-by-64 clock.
The trailing edge of the active level at the IOC7 pin sets the PAIF. The PAI bit enables the PAIF flag to
generate interrupt requests.
The pulse accumulator counter register reflect the number of pulses from the divided-by-64 clock since the
last reset.
NOTE
The timer prescaler generates the divided-by-64 clock. If the timer is not
active, there is no divided-by-64 clock.

Dual Output Voltage Regulator (VREG3V3V2)
Block Description
14.1 Introduction
The VREG3V3V2 is a dual output voltage regulator providing two separate 2.5 V (typical) supplies
differing in the amount of current that can be sourced. The regulator input voltage range is from 3.3 V up
to 5 V (typical).
14.1.1 Features
The block VREG3V3V2 includes these distinctive features:
• Two parallel, linear voltage regulators
— Bandgap reference
• Low-voltage detect (LVD) with low-voltage interrupt (LVI)
• Power-on reset (POR)
• Low-voltage reset (LVR)
14.1.2 Modes of Operation
There are three modes VREG3V3V2 can operate in:
• Full-performance mode (FPM) (MCU is not in stop mode)
The regulator is active, providing the nominal supply voltage of 2.5 V with full current sourcing
capability at both outputs. Features LVD (low-voltage detect), LVR (low-voltage reset), and POR
(power-on reset) are available.
• Reduced-power mode (RPM) (MCU is in stop mode)
The purpose is to reduce power consumption of the device. The output voltage may degrade to a
lower value than in full-performance mode, additionally the current sourcing capability is
substantially reduced. Only the POR is available in this mode, LVD and LVR are disabled.
• Shutdown mode
Controlled by VREGEN (see device overview chapter for connectivity of VREGEN).
This mode is characterized by minimum power consumption. The regulator outputs are in a high
impedance state, only the POR feature is available, LVD and LVR are disabled.
This mode must be used to disable the chip internal regulator VREG3V3V2, i.e., to bypass the
VREG3V3V2 to use external supplies.

14.2 External Signal Description
Due to the nature of VREG3V3V2 being a voltage regulator providing the chip internal power supply
voltages most signals are power supply signals connected to pads.
Table 14-1 shows all signals of VREG3V3V2 associated with pins.
NOTE
Check device overview chapter for connectivity of the signals.
14.2.1 VDDR — Regulator Power Input
Signal VDDR is the power input of VREG3V3V2. All currents sourced into the regulator loads flow
through this pin. A chip external decoupling capacitor (100 nF...220 nF, X7R ceramic) between VDDR and
VSSR can smoothen ripple on VDDR.
For entering shutdown mode, pin VDDR should also be tied to ground on devices without a VREGEN pin.
14.2.2 VDDA, VSSA — Regulator Reference Supply
Signals VDDA/VSSA which are supposed to be relatively quiet are used to supply the analog parts of the
regulator. Internal precision reference circuits are supplied from these signals. A chip external decoupling
capacitor (100 nF...220 nF, X7R ceramic) between VDDA and VSSA can further improve the quality of this
supply.

14.2.3 VDD, VSS — Regulator Output1 (Core Logic)
Signals VDD/VSS are the primary outputs of VREG3V3V2 that provide the power supply for the core
logic. These signals are connected to device pins to allow external decoupling capacitors (100 nF...220 nF,
X7R ceramic).
In shutdown mode an external supply at VDD/VSS can replace the voltage regulator.
14.2.4 VDDPLL, VSSPLL — Regulator Output2 (PLL)
Signals VDDPLL/VSSPLL are the secondary outputs of VREG3V3V2 that provide the power supply for the
PLL and oscillator. These signals are connected to device pins to allow external decoupling capacitors
(100 nF...220 nF, X7R ceramic).
In shutdown mode an external supply at VDDPLL/VSSPLL can replace the voltage regulator.
14.2.5 VREGEN — Optional Regulator Enable
This optional signal is used to shutdown VREG3V3V2. In that case VDD/VSS and VDDPLL/VSSPLL must
be provided externally. shutdown mode is entered with VREGEN being low. If VREGEN is high, the
VREG3V3V2 is either in full-performance mode or in reduced-power mode.
For the connectivity of VREGEN see device overview chapter.
NOTE
Switching from FPM or RPM to shutdown of VREG3V3V2 and vice versa
is not supported while the MCU is powered.

14.4.1 REG — Regulator Core
VREG3V3V2, respectively its regulator core has two parallel, independent regulation loops (REG1 and
REG2) that differ only in the amount of current that can be sourced to the connected loads. Therefore, only
REG1 providing the supply at VDD/VSS is explained. The principle is also valid for REG2.
The regulator is a linear series regulator with a bandgap reference in its full-performance mode and a
voltage clamp in reduced-power mode. All load currents flow from input VDDR to VSS or VSSPLL, the
reference circuits are connected to VDDA and VSSA.
14.4.2 Full-Performance Mode
In full-performance mode, a fraction of the output voltage (VDD) and the bandgap reference voltage are
fed to an operational amplifier. The amplified input voltage difference controls the gate of an output driver
which basically is a large NMOS transistor connected to the output.
14.4.3 Reduced-Power Mode
In reduced-power mode, the driver gate is connected to a buffered fraction of the input voltage (VDDR).
The operational amplifier and the bandgap are disabled to reduce power consumption.
14.4.4 LVD — Low-Voltage Detect
sub-block LVD is responsible for generating the low-voltage interrupt (LVI). LVD monitors the input
voltage (VDDA–VSSA) and continuously updates the status flag LVDS. Interrupt flag LVIF is set whenever
status flag LVDS changes its value. The LVD is available in FPM and is inactive in reduced-power mode
and shutdown mode.
14.4.5 POR — Power-On Reset
This functional block monitors output VDD. If VDD is below VPORD, signal POR is high, if it exceeds
VPORD, the signal goes low. The transition to low forces the CPU in the power-on sequence.
Due to its role during chip power-up this module must be active in all operating modes of VREG3V3V2.
14.4.6 LVR — Low-Voltage Reset
Block LVR monitors the primary output voltage VDD. If it drops below the assertion level (VLVRA) signal
LVR asserts and when rising above the deassertion level (VLVRD) signal LVR negates again. The LVR
function is available only in full-performance mode.
14.4.7 CTRL — Regulator Control
This part contains the register block of VREG3V3V2 and further digital functionality needed to control
the operating modes. CTRL also represents the interface to the digital core logic.

14.5 Resets
This subsection describes how VREG3V3V2 controls the reset of the MCU.The reset values of registers
and signals are provided in Section 14.3, “Memory Map and Register Definition”. Possible reset sources
are listed in Table 14-4.
14.5.1 Power-On Reset
During chip power-up the digital core may not work if its supply voltage VDD is below the POR
deassertion level (VPORD). Therefore, signal POR which forces the other blocks of the device into reset is
kept high until VDD exceeds VPORD. Then POR becomes low and the reset generator of the device
continues the start-up sequence. The power-on reset is active in all operation modes of VREG3V3V2.
14.5.2 Low-Voltage Reset
For details on low-voltage reset see Section 14.4.6, “LVR — Low-Voltage Reset”.
14.6 Interrupts
This subsection describes all interrupts originated by VREG3V3V2.
The interrupt vectors requested by VREG3V3V2 are listed in Table 14-5. Vector addresses and interrupt
priorities are defined at MCU level.
14.6.1 LVI — Low-Voltage Interrupt
In FPM VREG3V3V2 monitors the input voltage VDDA. Whenever VDDA drops below level VLVIA the
status bit LVDS is set to 1. Vice versa, LVDS is reset to 0 when VDDA rises above level VLVID. An
interrupt, indicated by flag LVIF = 1, is triggered by any change of the status bit LVDS if interrupt enable
bit LVIE = 1.
NOTE
On entering the reduced-power mode, the LVIF is not cleared by the
VREG3V3V2.

Background Debug Module (BDMV4) Block Description
15.1 Introduction
This section describes the functionality of the background debug module (BDM) sub-block of the HCS12
core platform.
A block diagram of the BDM is shown in Figure 15-1.
Figure 15-1. BDM Block Diagram
The background debug module (BDM) sub-block is a single-wire, background debug system implemented
in on-chip hardware for minimal CPU intervention. All interfacing with the BDM is done via the BKGD
pin.
BDMV4 has enhanced capability for maintaining synchronization between the target and host while
allowing more flexibility in clock rates. This includes a sync signal to show the clock rate and a handshake
signal to indicate when an operation is complete. The system is backwards compatible with older external
interfaces.
15.1.1 Features
• Single-wire communication with host development system
• BDMV4 (and BDM2): Enhanced capability for allowing more flexibility in clock rates
• BDMV4: SYNC command to determine communication rate
• BDMV4: GO_UNTIL command
• BDMV4: Hardware handshake protocol to increase the performance of the serial communication
• Active out of reset in special single-chip mode

• Nine hardware commands using free cycles, if available, for minimal CPU intervention
• Hardware commands not requiring active BDM
• 15 firmware commands execute from the standard BDM firmware lookup table
• Instruction tagging capability
• Software control of BDM operation during wait mode
• Software selectable clocks
• When secured, hardware commands are allowed to access the register space in special single-chip
mode, if the FLASH and EEPROM erase tests fail.
15.1.2 Modes of Operation
BDM is available in all operating modes but must be enabled before firmware commands are executed.
Some system peripherals may have a control bit which allows suspending the peripheral function during
background debug mode.
15.1.2.1 Regular Run Modes
All of these operations refer to the part in run mode. The BDM does not provide controls to conserve power
during run mode.
• Normal operation
General operation of the BDM is available and operates the same in all normal modes.
• Special single-chip mode
In special single-chip mode, background operation is enabled and active out of reset. This allows
programming a system with blank memory.
• Special peripheral mode
BDM is enabled and active immediately out of reset. BDM can be disabled
by clearing the BDMACT bit in the BDM status (BDMSTS) register. The
BDM serial system should not be used in special peripheral mode.
• Emulation modes
General operation of the BDM is available and operates the same as in normal modes.
15.1.2.2 Secure Mode Operation
If the part is in secure mode, the operation of the BDM is reduced to a small subset of its regular run mode
operation. Secure operation prevents access to FLASH or EEPROM other than allowing erasure.
15.2 External Signal Description
A single-wire interface pin is used to communicate with the BDM system. Two additional pins are used
for instruction tagging. These pins are part of the multiplexed external bus interface (MEBI) sub-block and
all interfacing between the MEBI and BDM is done within the core interface boundary. Functional
descriptions of the pins are provided below for completeness.

• BKGD — Background interface pin
•TAGHI — High byte instruction tagging pin
•TAGLO — Low byte instruction tagging pin
• BKGD and TAGHI share the same pin.
•TAGLO and LSTRB share the same pin.
NOTE
Generally these pins are shared as described, but it is best to check the
device overview chapter to make certain. All MCUs at the time of this
writing have followed this pin sharing scheme.
15.2.1 BKGD — Background Interface Pin
Debugging control logic communicates with external devices serially via the single-wire background
interface pin (BKGD). During reset, this pin is a mode select input which selects between normal and
special modes of operation. After reset, this pin becomes the dedicated serial interface pin for the
background debug mode.
15.2.2 TAGHI — High Byte Instruction Tagging Pin
This pin is used to tag the high byte of an instruction. When instruction tagging is on, a logic 0 at the falling
edge of the external clock (ECLK) tags the high half of the instruction word being read into the instruction
queue.
15.2.3 TAGLO — Low Byte Instruction Tagging Pin
This pin is used to tag the low byte of an instruction. When instruction tagging is on and low strobe is
enabled, a logic 0 at the falling edge of the external clock (ECLK) tags the low half of the instruction word
being read into the instruction queue.

Read: All modes through BDM operation
Write: All modes but subject to the following:
• BDMACT can only be set by BDM hardware upon entry into BDM. It can only be cleared by the
standard BDM firmware lookup table upon exit from BDM active mode.
• CLKSW can only be written via BDM hardware or standard BDM firmware write commands.
• All other bits, while writable via BDM hardware or standard BDM firmware write commands,
should only be altered by the BDM hardware or standard firmware lookup table as part of BDM
command execution.
• ENBDM should only be set via a BDM hardware command if the BDM firmware commands are
needed. (This does not apply in special single-chip mode).

ENBDM Enable BDM — This bit controls whether the BDM is enabled or disabled. When enabled, BDM can be made
active to allow firmware commands to be executed. When disabled, BDM cannot be made active but BDM
hardware commands are allowed.
0 BDM disabled
1 BDM enabled
Note: ENBDM is set by the firmware immediately out of reset in special single-chip mode. In secure mode, this
bit will not be set by the firmware until after the EEPROM and FLASH erase verify tests are complete.
6
BDMACT BDM Active Status — This bit becomes set upon entering BDM. The standard BDM firmware lookup table is
then enabled and put into the memory map. BDMACT is cleared by a carefully timed store instruction in the
standard BDM firmware as part of the exit sequence to return to user code and remove the BDM memory from
the map.
0 BDM not active
1 BDM active
5
ENTAG Tagging Enable — This bit indicates whether instruction tagging in enabled or disabled. It is set when the
TAGGO command is executed and cleared when BDM is entered. The serial system is disabled and the tag
function enabled 16 cycles after this bit is written. BDM cannot process serial commands while tagging is active.
0 Tagging not enabled or BDM active
1 Tagging enabled
4
SDV Shift Data Valid — This bit is set and cleared by the BDM hardware. It is set after data has been transmitted as
part of a firmware read command or after data has been received as part of a firmware write command. It is
cleared when the next BDM command has been received or BDM is exited. SDV is used by the standard BDM
firmware to control program flow execution.
0 Data phase of command not complete
1 Data phase of command is complete

TRACE TRACE1 BDM Firmware Command is Being Executed — This bit gets set when a BDM TRACE1 firmware
command is first recognized. It will stay set as long as continuous back-to-back TRACE1 commands are
executed. This bit will get cleared when the next command that is not a TRACE1 command is recognized.
0 TRACE1 command is not being executed
1 TRACE1 command is being executed

CLKSW Clock Switch — The CLKSW bit controls which clock the BDM operates with. It is only writable from a hardware
BDM command. A 150 cycle delay at the clock speed that is active during the data portion of the command will
occur before the new clock source is guaranteed to be active. The start of the next BDM command uses the new
clock for timing subsequent BDM communications.
Table 15-3 shows the resulting BDM clock source based on the CLKSW and the PLLSEL (Pll select from the
clock and reset generator) bits.
Note: The BDM alternate clock source can only be selected when CLKSW = 0 and PLLSEL = 1. The BDM serial
interface is now fully synchronized to the alternate clock source, when enabled. This eliminates frequency
restriction on the alternate clock which was required on previous versions. Refer to the device overview
section to determine which clock connects to the alternate clock source input.
Note: If the acknowledge function is turned on, changing the CLKSW bit will cause the ACK to be at the new rate
for the write command which changes it.

UNSEC Unsecure — This bit is only writable in special single-chip mode from the BDM secure firmware and always gets
reset to zero. It is in a zero state as secure mode is entered so that the secure BDM firmware lookup table is
enabled and put into the memory map along with the standard BDM firmware lookup table.
ThesecureBDMfirmwarelookuptableverifies that the on-chip EEPROMandFLASHEEPROMare erased.This
being the case, the UNSEC bit is set and the BDM program jumps to the start of the standard BDM firmware
lookup table and the secure BDM firmware lookup table is turned off. If the erase test fails, the UNSEC bit will
not be asserted.
0 System is in a secured mode
1 System is in a unsecured mode
Note: When UNSEC is set, security is off and the user can change the state of the secure bits in the on-chip
FLASH EEPROM. Note that if the user does not change the state of the bits to “unsecured” mode, the
system will be secured again when it is next taken out of reset.

15.3.2.2 BDM CCR Holding Register (BDMCCR)
Read: All modes
Write: All modes
NOTE
When BDM is made active, the CPU stores the value of the CCR register in
the BDMCCR register. However, out of special single-chip reset, the
BDMCCR is set to 0xD8 and not 0xD0 which is the reset value of the CCR
register.
When entering background debug mode, the BDM CCR holding register is used to save the contents of the
condition code register of the user’s program. It is also used for temporary storage in the standard BDM
firmware mode. The BDM CCR holding register can be written to modify the CCR value.

15.4 Functional Description
The BDM receives and executes commands from a host via a single wire serial interface. There are two
types of BDM commands, namely, hardware commands and firmware commands.
Hardware commands are used to read and write target system memory locations and to enter active
background debug mode, see Section 15.4.3, “BDM Hardware Commands.” Target system memory
includes all memory that is accessible by the CPU.
Firmware commands are used to read and write CPU resources and to exit from active background debug
mode, see Section 15.4.4, “Standard BDM Firmware Commands.” The CPU resources referred to are the
accumulator (D), X index register (X), Y index register (Y), stack pointer (SP), and program counter (PC).
Hardware commands can be executed at any time and in any mode excluding a few exceptions as
highlighted, see Section 15.4.3, “BDM Hardware Commands.” Firmware commands can only be executed
when the system is in active background debug mode (BDM).
15.4.1 Security
If the user resets into special single-chip mode with the system secured, a secured mode BDM firmware
lookup table is brought into the map overlapping a portion of the standard BDM firmware lookup table.
The secure BDM firmware verifies that the on-chip EEPROM and FLASH EEPROM are erased. This
being the case, the UNSEC bit will get set. The BDM program jumps to the start of the standard BDM
firmware and the secured mode BDM firmware is turned off and all BDM commands are allowed. If the
EEPROM or FLASH do not verify as erased, the BDM firmware sets the ENBDM bit, without asserting
UNSEC, and the firmware enters a loop. This causes the BDM hardware commands to become enabled,
but does not enable the firmware commands. This allows the BDM hardware to be used to erase the
EEPROM and FLASH. After execution of the secure firmware, regardless of the results of the erase tests,
the CPU registers, INITEE and PPAGE, will no longer be in their reset state.
15.4.2 Enabling and Activating BDM
The system must be in active BDM to execute standard BDM firmware commands. BDM can be activated
only after being enabled. BDM is enabled by setting the ENBDM bit in the BDM status (BDMSTS)
register. The ENBDM bit is set by writing to the BDM status (BDMSTS) register, via the single-wire
interface, using a hardware command such as WRITE_BD_BYTE.
After being enabled, BDM is activated by one of the following1:
• Hardware BACKGROUND command
• BDM external instruction tagging mechanism
• CPU BGND instruction
• Breakpoint sub-block’s force or tag mechanism2
When BDM is activated, the CPU finishes executing the current instruction and then begins executing the
firmware in the standard BDM firmware lookup table. When BDM is activated by the breakpoint
1. BDM is enabled and active immediately out of special single-chip reset.
2. This method is only available on systems that have a a breakpoint or a debug sub-block.
Chapter 15 Background Debug Module (BDMV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 463
sub-block, the type of breakpoint used determines if BDM becomes active before or after execution of the
next instruction.
NOTE
If an attempt is made to activate BDM before being enabled, the CPU
resumes normal instruction execution after a brief delay. If BDM is not
enabled, any hardware BACKGROUND commands issued are ignored by
the BDM and the CPU is not delayed.
In active BDM, the BDM registers and standard BDM firmware lookup table are mapped to addresses
0xFF00 to 0xFFFF. BDM registers are mapped to addresses 0xFF00 to 0xFF07. The BDM uses these
registers which are readable anytime by the BDM. However, these registers are not readable by user
programs.
15.4.3 BDM Hardware Commands
Hardware commands are used to read and write target system memory locations and to enter active
background debug mode. Target system memory includes all memory that is accessible by the CPU such
as on-chip RAM, EEPROM, FLASH EEPROM, I/O and control registers, and all external memory.
Hardware commands are executed with minimal or no CPU intervention and do not require the system to
be in active BDM for execution, although they can continue to be executed in this mode. When executing
a hardware command, the BDM sub-block waits for a free CPU bus cycle so that the background access
does not disturb the running application program. If a free cycle is not found within 128 clock cycles, the
CPU is momentarily frozen so that the BDM can steal a cycle. When the BDM finds a free cycle, the
operation does not intrude on normal CPU operation provided that it can be completed in a single cycle.
However, if an operation requires multiple cycles the CPU is frozen until the operation is complete, even
though the BDM found a free cycle.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10

The BDM hardware commands are listed in Table 15-5.
NOTE:
If enabled, ACK will occur when data is ready for transmission for all BDM READ commands and will occur after the write is
complete for all BDM WRITE commands.
The READ_BD and WRITE_BD commands allow access to the BDM register locations. These locations
are not normally in the system memory map but share addresses with the application in memory. To
distinguish between physical memory locations that share the same address, BDM memory resources are
enabled just for the READ_BD and WRITE_BD access cycle. This allows the BDM to access BDM
locations unobtrusively, even if the addresses conflict with the application memory map.
15.4.4 Standard BDM Firmware Commands
Firmware commands are used to access and manipulate CPU resources. The system must be in active
BDM to execute standard BDM firmware commands, see Section 15.4.2, “Enabling and Activating
BDM.” Normal instruction execution is suspended while the CPU executes the firmware located in the
standard BDM firmware lookup table. The hardware command BACKGROUND is the usual way to
activate BDM.
As the system enters active BDM, the standard BDM firmware lookup table and BDM registers become
visible in the on-chip memory map at 0xFF00–0xFFFF, and the CPU begins executing the standard BDM

firmware. The standard BDM firmware watches for serial commands and executes them as they are
received.
The firmware commands are shown in Table 15-6.
15.4.5 BDM Command Structure
Hardware and firmware BDM commands start with an 8-bit opcode followed by a 16-bit address and/or a
16-bit data word depending on the command. All the read commands return 16 bits of data despite the byte
or word implication in the command name.
NOTE
8-bit reads return 16-bits of data, of which, only one byte will contain valid
data. If reading an even address, the valid data will appear in the MSB. If
reading an odd address, the valid data will appear in the LSB.

Chapter 15 Background Debug Module (BDMV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
466 Freescale Semiconductor
NOTE
16-bit misaligned reads and writes are not allowed. If attempted, the BDM
will ignore the least significant bit of the address and will assume an even
address from the remaining bits.
For hardware data read commands, the external host must wait 150 bus clock cycles after sending the
address before attempting to obtain the read data. This is to be certain that valid data is available in the
BDM shift register, ready to be shifted out. For hardware write commands, the external host must wait
150 bus clock cycles after sending the data to be written before attempting to send a new command. This
is to avoid disturbing the BDM shift register before the write has been completed. The 150 bus clock cycle
delay in both cases includes the maximum 128 cycle delay that can be incurred as the BDM waits for a
free cycle before stealing a cycle.
For firmware read commands, the external host should wait 44 bus clock cycles after sending the command
opcode and before attempting to obtain the read data. This includes the potential of an extra 7 cycles when
the access is external with a narrow bus access (+1 cycle) and / or a stretch (+1, 2, or 3 cycles), (7 cycles
could be needed if both occur). The 44 cycle wait allows enough time for the requested data to be made
available in the BDM shift register, ready to be shifted out.
NOTE
This timing has increased from previous BDM modules due to the new
capability in which the BDM serial interface can potentially run faster than
the bus. On previous BDM modules this extra time could be hidden within
the serial time.
For firmware write commands, the external host must wait 32 bus clock cycles after sending the data to be
written before attempting to send a new command. This is to avoid disturbing the BDM shift register
before the write has been completed.
The external host should wait 64 bus clock cycles after a TRACE1 or GO command before starting any
new serial command. This is to allow the CPU to exit gracefully from the standard BDM firmware lookup
table and resume execution of the user code. Disturbing the BDM shift register prematurely may adversely
affect the exit from the standard BDM firmware lookup table.
NOTE
If the bus rate of the target processor is unknown or could be changing, it is
recommended that the ACK (acknowledge function) be used to indicate
when an operation is complete. When using ACK, the delay times are
automated.
Figure 15-6 represents the BDM command structure. The command blocks illustrate a series of eight bit
times starting with a falling edge. The bar across the top of the blocks indicates that the BKGD line idles
in the high state. The time for an 8-bit command is 8 × 16 target clock cycles.1
1. Target clock cycles are cycles measured using the target MCU’s serial clock rate. See Section 15.4.6, “BDM Serial Interface,”
and Section 15.3.2.1, “BDM Status Register (BDMSTS),” for information on how serial clock rate is selected.

Figure 15-6. BDM Command Structure
15.4.6 BDM Serial Interface
The BDM communicates with external devices serially via the BKGD pin. During reset, this pin is a mode
select input which selects between normal and special modes of operation. After reset, this pin becomes
the dedicated serial interface pin for the BDM.
The BDM serial interface is timed using the clock selected by the CLKSW bit in the status register see
Section 15.3.2.1, “BDM Status Register (BDMSTS).” This clock will be referred to as the target clock in
the following explanation.
The BDM serial interface uses a clocking scheme in which the external host generates a falling edge on
the BKGD pin to indicate the start of each bit time. This falling edge is sent for every bit whether data is
transmitted or received. Data is transferred most significant bit (MSB) first at 16 target clock cycles per
bit. The interface times out if 512 clock cycles occur between falling edges from the host.
The BKGD pin is a pseudo open-drain pin and has an weak on-chip active pull-up that is enabled at all
times. It is assumed that there is an external pull-up and that drivers connected to BKGD do not typically
drive the high level. Because R-C rise time could be unacceptably long, the target system and host provide
brief driven-high (speedup) pulses to drive BKGD to a logic 1. The source of this speedup pulse is the host
for transmit cases and the target for receive cases.
The timing for host-to-target is shown in Figure 15-7 and that of target-to-host in Figure 15-8 and
Figure 15-9. All four cases begin when the host drives the BKGD pin low to generate a falling edge.
Because the host and target are operating from separate clocks, it can take the target system up to one full
clock cycle to recognize this edge. The target measures delays from this perceived start of the bit time
while the host measures delays from the point it actually drove BKGD low to start the bit up to one target

clock cycle earlier. Synchronization between the host and target is established in this manner at the start
of every bit time.
Figure 15-7 shows an external host transmitting a logic 1 and transmitting a logic 0 to the BKGD pin of a
target system. The host is asynchronous to the target, so there is up to a one clock-cycle delay from the
host-generated falling edge to where the target recognizes this edge as the beginning of the bit time. Ten
target clock cycles later, the target senses the bit level on the BKGD pin. Internal glitch detect logic
requires the pin be driven high no later that eight target clock cycles after the falling edge for a logic 1
transmission.
Because the host drives the high speedup pulses in these two cases, the rising edges look like digitally
driven signals.
Figure 15-7. BDM Host-to-Target Serial Bit Timing
The receive cases are more complicated. Figure 15-8 shows the host receiving a logic 1 from the target
system. Because the host is asynchronous to the target, there is up to one clock-cycle delay from the
host-generated falling edge on BKGD to the perceived start of the bit time in the target. The host holds the
BKGD pin low long enough for the target to recognize it (at least two target clock cycles). The host must
release the low drive before the target drives a brief high speedup pulse seven target clock cycles after the
perceived start of the bit time. The host should sample the bit level about 10 target clock cycles after it
started the bit time.

Figure 15-8. BDM Target-to-Host Serial Bit Timing (Logic 1)
Figure 15-9 shows the host receiving a logic 0 from the target. Because the host is asynchronous to the
target, there is up to a one clock-cycle delay from the host-generated falling edge on BKGD to the start of
the bit time as perceived by the target. The host initiates the bit time but the target finishes it. Because the
target wants the host to receive a logic 0, it drives the BKGD pin low for 13 target clock cycles then briefly
drives it high to speed up the rising edge. The host samples the bit level about 10 target clock cycles after
starting the bit time.

15.4.7 Serial Interface Hardware Handshake Protocol
BDM commands that require CPU execution are ultimately treated at the MCU bus rate. Because the BDM
clock source can be asynchronously related to the bus frequency, when CLKSW = 0, it is very helpful to
provide a handshake protocol in which the host could determine when an issued command is executed by
the CPU. The alternative is to always wait the amount of time equal to the appropriate number of cycles at
the slowest possible rate the clock could be running. This sub-section will describe the hardware
handshake protocol.
The hardware handshake protocol signals to the host controller when an issued command was successfully
executed by the target. This protocol is implemented by a 16 serial clock cycle low pulse followed by a
brief speedup pulse in the BKGD pin. This pulse is generated by the target MCU when a command, issued
by the host, has been successfully executed (see Figure 15-10). This pulse is referred to as the ACK pulse.
After the ACK pulse has finished: the host can start the bit retrieval if the last issued command was a read
command, or start a new command if the last command was a write command or a control command
(BACKGROUND, GO, GO_UNTIL, or TRACE1). The ACK pulse is not issued earlier than 32 serial
clock cycles after the BDM command was issued. The end of the BDM command is assumed to be the
16th tick of the last bit. This minimum delay assures enough time for the host to perceive the ACK pulse.
Note also that, there is no upper limit for the delay between the command and the related ACK pulse,
because the command execution depends upon the CPU bus frequency, which in some cases could be very
slow compared to the serial communication rate. This protocol allows a great flexibility for the POD
designers, because it does not rely on any accurate time measurement or short response time to any event
in the serial communication.
Figure 15-10. Target Acknowledge Pulse (ACK)
NOTE
If the ACK pulse was issued by the target, the host assumes the previous
command was executed. If the CPU enters WAIT or STOP prior to
executing a hardware command, the ACK pulse will not be issued meaning
that the BDM command was not executed. After entering wait or stop mode,
the BDM command is no longer pending.

Figure 15-11 shows the ACK handshake protocol in a command level timing diagram. The READ_BYTE
instruction is used as an example. First, the 8-bit instruction opcode is sent by the host, followed by the
address of the memory location to be read. The target BDM decodes the instruction. A bus cycle is grabbed
(free or stolen) by the BDM and it executes the READ_BYTE operation. Having retrieved the data, the
BDM issues an ACK pulse to the host controller, indicating that the addressed byte is ready to be retrieved.
After detecting the ACK pulse, the host initiates the byte retrieval process. Note that data is sent in the form
of a word and the host needs to determine which is the appropriate byte based on whether the address was
odd or even.
Figure 15-11. Handshake Protocol at Command Level
Differently from the normal bit transfer (where the host initiates the transmission), the serial interface ACK
handshake pulse is initiated by the target MCU by issuing a falling edge in the BKGD pin. The hardware
handshake protocol in Figure 15-10 specifies the timing when the BKGD pin is being driven, so the host
should follow this timing constraint in order to avoid the risk of an electrical conflict in the BKGD pin.
NOTE
The only place the BKGD pin can have an electrical conflict is when one
side is driving low and the other side is issuing a speedup pulse (high). Other
“highs” are pulled rather than driven. However, at low rates the time of the
speedup pulse can become lengthy and so the potential conflict time
becomes longer as well.
The ACK handshake protocol does not support nested ACK pulses. If a BDM command is not
acknowledge by an ACK pulse, the host needs to abort the pending command first in order to be able to
issue a new BDM command. When the CPU enters WAIT or STOP while the host issues a command that
requires CPU execution (e.g., WRITE_BYTE), the target discards the incoming command due to the
WAIT or STOP being detected. Therefore, the command is not acknowledged by the target, which means
that the ACK pulse will not be issued in this case. After a certain time the host should decide to abort the
ACK sequence in order to be free to issue a new command. Therefore, the protocol should provide a
mechanism in which a command, and therefore a pending ACK, could be aborted.
NOTE
Differently from a regular BDM command, the ACK pulse does not provide
a time out. This means that in the case of a WAIT or STOP instruction being
executed, the ACK would be prevented from being issued. If not aborted, the
ACK would remain pending indefinitely. See the handshake abort procedure
described in Section 15.4.8, “Hardware Handshake Abort Procedure.”

15.4.8 Hardware Handshake Abort Procedure
The abort procedure is based on the SYNC command. In order to abort a command, which had not issued
the corresponding ACK pulse, the host controller should generate a low pulse in the BKGD pin by driving
it low for at least 128 serial clock cycles and then driving it high for one serial clock cycle, providing a
speedup pulse. By detecting this long low pulse in the BKGD pin, the target executes the SYNC protocol,
see Section 15.4.9, “SYNC — Request Timed Reference Pulse,” and assumes that the pending command
and therefore the related ACK pulse, are being aborted. Therefore, after the SYNC protocol has been
completed the host is free to issue new BDM commands.
Although it is not recommended, the host could abort a pending BDM command by issuing a low pulse in
the BKGD pin shorter than 128 serial clock cycles, which will not be interpreted as the SYNC command.
The ACK is actually aborted when a falling edge is perceived by the target in the BKGD pin. The short
abort pulse should have at least 4 clock cycles keeping the BKGD pin low, in order to allow the falling
edge to be detected by the target. In this case, the target will not execute the SYNC protocol but the pending
command will be aborted along with the ACK pulse. The potential problem with this abort procedure is
when there is a conflict between the ACK pulse and the short abort pulse. In this case, the target may not
perceive the abort pulse. The worst case is when the pending command is a read command (i.e.,
READ_BYTE). If the abort pulse is not perceived by the target the host will attempt to send a new
command after the abort pulse was issued, while the target expects the host to retrieve the accessed
memory byte. In this case, host and target will run out of synchronism. However, if the command to be
aborted is not a read command the short abort pulse could be used. After a command is aborted the target
assumes the next falling edge, after the abort pulse, is the first bit of a new BDM command.
NOTE
The details about the short abort pulse are being provided only as a reference
for the reader to better understand the BDM internal behavior. It is not
recommended that this procedure be used in a real application.
Because the host knows the target serial clock frequency, the SYNC command (used to abort a command)
does not need to consider the lower possible target frequency. In this case, the host could issue a SYNC
very close to the 128 serial clock cycles length. Providing a small overhead on the pulse length in order to
assure the SYNC pulse will not be misinterpreted by the target. See Section 15.4.9, “SYNC — Request
Timed Reference Pulse.”
Figure 15-12 shows a SYNC command being issued after a READ_BYTE, which aborts the
READ_BYTE command. Note that, after the command is aborted a new command could be issued by the
host computer.

Figure 15-12 does not represent the signals in a true timing scale

Figure 15-12. ACK Abort Procedure at the Command Level
Figure 15-13 shows a conflict between the ACK pulse and the SYNC request pulse. This conflict could
occur if a POD device is connected to the target BKGD pin and the target is already in debug active mode.
Consider that the target CPU is executing a pending BDM command at the exact moment the POD is being
connected to the BKGD pin. In this case, an ACK pulse is issued along with the SYNC command. In this
case, there is an electrical conflict between the ACK speedup pulse and the SYNC pulse. Because this is
not a probable situation, the protocol does not prevent this conflict from happening.
Figure 15-13. ACK Pulse and SYNC Request Conflict
NOTE
This information is being provided so that the MCU integrator will be aware
that such a conflict could eventually occur.
The hardware handshake protocol is enabled by the ACK_ENABLE and disabled by the ACK_DISABLE
BDM commands. This provides backwards compatibility with the existing POD devices which are not
able to execute the hardware handshake protocol. It also allows for new POD devices, that support the
hardware handshake protocol, to freely communicate with the target device. If desired, without the need
for waiting for the ACK pulse.

The commands are described as follows:
• ACK_ENABLE — enables the hardware handshake protocol. The target will issue the ACK pulse
when a CPU command is executed by the CPU. The ACK_ENABLE command itself also has the
ACK pulse as a response.
• ACK_DISABLE — disables the ACK pulse protocol. In this case, the host needs to use the worst
case delay time at the appropriate places in the protocol.
The default state of the BDM after reset is hardware handshake protocol disabled.
All the read commands will ACK (if enabled) when the data bus cycle has completed and the data is then
ready for reading out by the BKGD serial pin. All the write commands will ACK (if enabled) after the data
has been received by the BDM through the BKGD serial pin and when the data bus cycle is complete. See
Section 15.4.3, “BDM Hardware Commands,” and Section 15.4.4, “Standard BDM Firmware
Commands,” for more information on the BDM commands.
The ACK_ENABLE sends an ACK pulse when the command has been completed. This feature could be
used by the host to evaluate if the target supports the hardware handshake protocol. If an ACK pulse is
issued in response to this command, the host knows that the target supports the hardware handshake
protocol. If the target does not support the hardware handshake protocol the ACK pulse is not issued. In
this case, the ACK_ENABLE command is ignored by the target because it is not recognized as a valid
command.
The BACKGROUND command will issue an ACK pulse when the CPU changes from normal to
background mode. The ACK pulse related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The GO command will issue an ACK pulse when the CPU exits from background mode. The ACK pulse
related to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The GO_UNTIL command is equivalent to a GO command with exception that the ACK pulse, in this
case, is issued when the CPU enters into background mode. This command is an alternative to the GO
command and should be used when the host wants to trace if a breakpoint match occurs and causes the
CPU to enter active background mode. Note that the ACK is issued whenever the CPU enters BDM, which
could be caused by a breakpoint match or by a BGND instruction being executed. The ACK pulse related
to this command could be aborted using the SYNC command.
The TRACE1 command has the related ACK pulse issued when the CPU enters background active mode
after one instruction of the application program is executed. The ACK pulse related to this command could
be aborted using the SYNC command.
The TAGGO command will not issue an ACK pulse because this would interfere with the tagging function
shared on the same pin.

15.4.9 SYNC — Request Timed Reference Pulse
The SYNC command is unlike other BDM commands because the host does not necessarily know the
correct communication speed to use for BDM communications until after it has analyzed the response to
the SYNC command. To issue a SYNC command, the host should perform the following steps:
1. Drive the BKGD pin low for at least 128 cycles at the lowest possible BDM serial communication
frequency (the lowest serial communication frequency is determined by the crystal oscillator or the
clock chosen by CLKSW.)
2. Drive BKGD high for a brief speedup pulse to get a fast rise time (this speedup pulse is typically
one cycle of the host clock.)
3. Remove all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance.
4. Listen to the BKGD pin for the sync response pulse.
Upon detecting the SYNC request from the host, the target performs the following steps:
1. Discards any incomplete command received or bit retrieved.
2. Waits for BKGD to return to a logic 1.
3. Delays 16 cycles to allow the host to stop driving the high speedup pulse.
4. Drives BKGD low for 128 cycles at the current BDM serial communication frequency.
5. Drives a one-cycle high speedup pulse to force a fast rise time on BKGD.
6. Removes all drive to the BKGD pin so it reverts to high impedance.
The host measures the low time of this 128 cycle SYNC response pulse and determines the correct speed
for subsequent BDM communications. Typically, the host can determine the correct communication speed
within a few percent of the actual target speed and the communication protocol can easily tolerate speed
errors of several percent.
As soon as the SYNC request is detected by the target, any partially received command or bit retrieved is
discarded. This is referred to as a soft-reset, equivalent to a time-out in the serial communication. After the
SYNC response, the target will consider the next falling edge (issued by the host) as the start of a new
BDM command or the start of new SYNC request.
Another use of the SYNC command pulse is to abort a pending ACK pulse. The behavior is exactly the
same as in a regular SYNC command. Note that one of the possible causes for a command to not be
acknowledged by the target is a host-target synchronization problem. In this case, the command may not
have been understood by the target and so an ACK response pulse will not be issued.
15.4.10 Instruction Tracing
When a TRACE1 command is issued to the BDM in active BDM, the CPU exits the standard BDM
firmware and executes a single instruction in the user code. As soon as this has occurred, the CPU is forced
to return to the standard BDM firmware and the BDM is active and ready to receive a new command. If
the TRACE1 command is issued again, the next user instruction will be executed. This facilitates stepping
or tracing through the user code one instruction at a time.
Chapter 15 Background Debug Module (BDMV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
476 Freescale Semiconductor
If an interrupt is pending when a TRACE1 command is issued, the interrupt stacking operation occurs but
no user instruction is executed. Upon return to standard BDM firmware execution, the program counter
points to the first instruction in the interrupt service routine.
15.4.11 Instruction Tagging
The instruction queue and cycle-by-cycle CPU activity are reconstructible in real time or from trace history
that is captured by a logic analyzer. However, the reconstructed queue cannot be used to stop the CPU at
a specific instruction. This is because execution already has begun by the time an operation is visible
outside the system. A separate instruction tagging mechanism is provided for this purpose.
The tag follows program information as it advances through the instruction queue. When a tagged
instruction reaches the head of the queue, the CPU enters active BDM rather than executing the instruction.
NOTE
Tagging is disabled when BDM becomes active and BDM serial commands
are not processed while tagging is active.
Executing the BDM TAGGO command configures two system pins for tagging. The TAGLO signal shares
a pin with the LSTRB signal, and the TAGHI signal shares a pin with the BKGD signal.
Table 15-7 shows the functions of the two tagging pins. The pins operate independently, that is the state of
one pin does not affect the function of the other. The presence of logic level 0 on either pin at the fall of
the external clock (ECLK) performs the indicated function. High tagging is allowed in all modes. Low
tagging is allowed only when low strobe is enabled (LSTRB is allowed only in wide expanded modes and
emulation expanded narrow mode).
15.4.12 Serial Communication Time-Out
The host initiates a host-to-target serial transmission by generating a falling edge on the BKGD pin. If
BKGD is kept low for more than 128 target clock cycles, the target understands that a SYNC command
was issued. In this case, the target will keep waiting for a rising edge on BKGD in order to answer the
SYNC request pulse. If the rising edge is not detected, the target will keep waiting forever without any
time-out limit.
Consider now the case where the host returns BKGD to logic one before 128 cycles. This is interpreted as
a valid bit transmission, and not as a SYNC request. The target will keep waiting for another falling edge
marking the start of a new bit. If, however, a new falling edge is not detected by the target within 512 clock
cycles since the last falling edge, a time-out occurs and the current command is discarded without affecting
memory or the operating mode of the MCU. This is referred to as a soft-reset.
Table 15-7. Tag Pin Function
TAGHI TAGLO Tag
1 1 No tag
1 0 Low byte
0 1 High byte
0 0 Both bytes
Chapter 15 Background Debug Module (BDMV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 477
If a read command is issued but the data is not retrieved within 512 serial clock cycles, a soft-reset will
occur causing the command to be disregarded. The data is not available for retrieval after the time-out has
occurred. This is the expected behavior if the handshake protocol is not enabled. However, consider the
behavior where the BDC is running in a frequency much greater than the CPU frequency. In this case, the
command could time out before the data is ready to be retrieved. In order to allow the data to be retrieved
even with a large clock frequency mismatch (between BDC and CPU) when the hardware handshake
protocol is enabled, the time out between a read command and the data retrieval is disabled. Therefore, the
host could wait for more then 512 serial clock cycles and continue to be able to retrieve the data from an
issued read command. However, as soon as the handshake pulse (ACK pulse) is issued, the time-out feature
is re-activated, meaning that the target will time out after 512 clock cycles. Therefore, the host needs to
retrieve the data within a 512 serial clock cycles time frame after the ACK pulse had been issued. After
that period, the read command is discarded and the data is no longer available for retrieval. Any falling
edge of the BKGD pin after the time-out period is considered to be a new command or a SYNC request.
Note that whenever a partially issued command, or partially retrieved data, has occurred the time out in the
serial communication is active. This means that if a time frame higher than 512 serial clock cycles is
observed between two consecutive negative edges and the command being issued or data being retrieved
is not complete, a soft-reset will occur causing the partially received command or data retrieved to be
disregarded. The next falling edge of the BKGD pin, after a soft-reset has occurred, is considered by the
target as the start of a new BDM command, or the start of a SYNC request pulse.
15.4.13 Operation in Wait Mode
The BDM cannot be used in wait mode if the system disables the clocks to the BDM.
There is a clearing mechanism associated with the WAIT instruction when the clocks to the BDM (CPU
core platform) are disabled. As the clocks restart from wait mode, the BDM receives a soft reset (clearing
any command in progress) and the ACK function will be disabled. This is a change from previous BDM
modules.
15.4.14 Operation in Stop Mode
The BDM is completely shutdown in stop mode.
There is a clearing mechanism associated with the STOP instruction. STOP must be enabled and the part
must go into stop mode for this to occur. As the clocks restart from stop mode, the BDM receives a soft
reset (clearing any command in progress) and the ACK function will be disabled. This is a change from
previous BDM modules.

16.1 Introduction
This section describes the functionality of the debug (DBG) sub-block of the HCS12 core platform.
The DBG module is designed to be fully compatible with the existing BKP_HCS12_A module (BKP
mode) and furthermore provides an on-chip trace buffer with flexible triggering capability (DBG mode).
The DBG module provides for non-intrusive debug of application software. The DBG module is optimized
for the HCS12 16-bit architecture.

— Compare on either of two addresses (dual)
• BDM or SWI breakpoint
— Enter BDM on breakpoint (BDM)
— Execute SWI on breakpoint (SWI)
• Tagged or forced breakpoint
— Break just before a specific instruction will begin execution (TAG)
— Break on the first instruction boundary after a match occurs (Force)
• Single, range, or page address compares
— Compare on address (single)
— Compare on address 256 byte (range)
— Compare on any 16K page (page)
• At forced breakpoints compare address on read or write
• High and/or low byte data compares
• Comparator C can provide an additional tag or force breakpoint (enhancement for BKP mode)

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
480 Freescale Semiconductor
The DBG in DBG mode includes these distinctive features:
• Three comparators (A, B, and C)
— Dual mode, comparators A and B used to compare addresses
— Full mode, comparator A compares address and comparator B compares data
— Can be used as trigger and/or breakpoint
— Comparator C used in LOOP1 capture mode or as additional breakpoint
• Four capture modes
— Normal mode, change-of-flow information is captured based on trigger specification
— Loop1 mode, comparator C is dynamically updated to prevent redundant change-of-flow
storage.
— Detail mode, address and data for all cycles except program fetch (P) and free (f) cycles are
stored in trace buffer
— Profile mode, last instruction address executed by CPU is returned when trace buffer address is
read
• Two types of breakpoint or debug triggers
— Break just before a specific instruction will begin execution (tag)
— Break on the first instruction boundary after a match occurs (force)
• BDM or SWI breakpoint
— Enter BDM on breakpoint (BDM)
— Execute SWI on breakpoint (SWI)
• Nine trigger modes for comparators A and B
—A
— A or B
— A then B
— A and B, where B is data (full mode)
— A and not B, where B is data (full mode)
— Event only B, store data
— A then event only B, store data
— Inside range, A ≤ address ≤B
— Outside range, address < Α or address > B
• Comparator C provides an additional tag or force breakpoint when capture mode is not configured
in LOOP1 mode.
• Sixty-four word (16 bits wide) trace buffer for storing change-of-flow information, event only data
and other bus information.
— Source address of taken conditional branches (long, short, bit-conditional, and loop constructs)

— Data associated with event B trigger modes
— Detail report mode stores address and data for all cycles except program (P) and free (f) cycles
— Current instruction address when in profiling mode
— BGND is not considered a change-of-flow (cof) by the debugger
16.1.2 Modes of Operation
There are two main modes of operation: breakpoint mode and debug mode. Each one is mutually exclusive
of the other and selected via a software programmable control bit.
In the breakpoint mode there are two sub-modes of operation:
• Dual address mode, where a match on either of two addresses will cause the system to enter
background debug mode (BDM) or initiate a software interrupt (SWI).
• Full breakpoint mode, where a match on address and data will cause the system to enter
background debug mode (BDM) or initiate a software interrupt (SWI).
In debug mode, there are several sub-modes of operation.
• Trigger modes
There are many ways to create a logical trigger. The trigger can be used to capture bus information
either starting from the trigger or ending at the trigger. Types of triggers (A and B are registers):
— A only
— A or B
— A then B
— Event only B (data capture)
— A then event only B (data capture)
— A and B, full mode
— A and not B, full mode
— Inside range
— Outside range
• Capture modes
There are several capture modes. These determine which bus information is saved and which is
ignored.
— Normal: save change-of-flow program fetches
— Loop1: save change-of-flow program fetches, ignoring duplicates
— Detail: save all bus operations except program and free cycles
— Profile: poll target from external device

1 Debugger armed
Note: This bit cannot be set if the DBGEN bit is not also being set at the same time. For example, a write of 01
to DBGEN[7:6] will be interpreted as a write of 00.
5
TRGSEL Trigger Selection Bit — The TRGSEL bit controls the triggering condition for comparators A and B in DBG
mode. It serves essentially the same function as the TAGAB bit in the DBGC2 register does in BKP mode. See
Section 16.4.2.1.2, “Trigger Selection,” for more information. TRGSEL may also determine the type of breakpoint
based on comparator A and B if enabled in DBG mode (DBGBRK = 1). Please refer to Section 16.4.3.1,
“Breakpoint Based on Comparator A and B.”
0 Trigger on any compare address match
1 Trigger before opcode at compare address gets executed (tagged-type)

CAPMOD Capture Mode Field — See Table 16-4 for capture mode field definitions. In LOOP1 mode, the debugger will
automatically inhibit redundant entries into capture memory. In detail mode, the debugger is storing address and
data for all cycles except program fetch (P) and free (f) cycles. In profile mode, the debugger is returning the
address of the last instruction executed by the CPU on each access of trace buffer address. Refer to
Section 16.4.2.6, “Capture Modes,” for more information.

15:0 Trace Buffer Data Bits — The trace buffer data bits contain the data of the trace buffer. This register can be read
only as a word read. Any byte reads or misaligned access of these registers will return 0 and will not cause the
trace buffer pointer to increment to the next trace buffer address. The same is true for word reads while the
debugger is armed. In addition, this register may appear to contain incorrect data if it is not read with the same
capture mode bit settings as when the trace buffer data was recorded (See Section 16.4.2.9, “Reading Data from
Trace Buffer”). Because reads will reflect the contents of the trace buffer RAM, the reset state is undefined.

BKAMB[H:L] Breakpoint Mask High Byte for First Address — In dual or full mode, these bits may be used to mask (disable)
the comparison of the high and/or low bytes of the first address breakpoint. The functionality is as given in
Table 16-16.
The x:0 case is for a full address compare. When a program page is selected, the full address compare will be
based on bits for a 20-bit compare. The registers used for the compare are {DBGCAX[5:0], DBGCAH[5:0],
DBGCAL[7:0]}, where DBGAX[5:0] corresponds to PPAGE[5:0] or extended address bits [19:14] and CPU
address [13:0]. When a program page is not selected, the full address compare will be based on bits for a 16-bit
compare. The registers used for the compare are {DBGCAH[7:0], DBGCAL[7:0]} which corresponds to CPU
address [15:0].
Note: This extended address compare scheme causes an aliasing problem in BKP mode in which several
physical addresses may match with a single logical address. This problem may be avoided by using DBG
mode to generate breakpoints.
The 1:0 case is not sensible because it would ignore the high order address and compare the low order and
expansion addresses. Logic forces this case to compare all address lines (effectively ignoring the BKAMBH
control bit).
The 1:1 case is useful for triggering a breakpoint on any access to a particular expansion page. This only makes
sense if a program page is being accessed so that the breakpoint trigger will occur only if DBGCAX compares.
5:4
BKBMB[H:L] Breakpoint Mask High Byte and Low Byte of Data (Second Address) — In dual mode, these bits may be
used to mask (disable) the comparison of the high and/or low bytes of the second address breakpoint. The
functionality is as given in Table 16-17.
The x:0 case is for a full address compare. When a program page is selected, the full address compare will be
based on bits for a 20-bit compare. The registers used for the compare are {DBGCBX[5:0], DBGCBH[5:0],
DBGCBL[7:0]} where DBGCBX[5:0] corresponds to PPAGE[5:0] or extended address bits [19:14] and CPU
address [13:0]. When a program page is not selected, the full address compare will be based on bits for a 16-bit
compare. The registers used for the compare are {DBGCBH[7:0], DBGCBL[7:0]} which corresponds to CPU
address [15:0].
Note: This extended address compare scheme causes an aliasing problem in BKP mode in which several
physical addresses may match with a single logical address. This problem may be avoided by using DBG
mode to generate breakpoints.
The 1:0 case is not sensible because it would ignore the high order address and compare the low order and
expansion addresses. Logic forces this case to compare all address lines (effectively ignoring the BKBMBH
control bit).
The 1:1 case is useful for triggering a breakpoint on any access to a particular expansion page. This only makes
sense if a program page is being accessed so that the breakpoint trigger will occur only if DBGCBX compares.
In full mode, these bits may be used to mask (disable) the comparison of the high and/or low bytes of the data
breakpoint. The functionality is as given in Table 16-18.

16.4 Functional Description
This section provides a complete functional description of the DBG module. The DBG module can be
configured to run in either of two modes, BKP or DBG. BKP mode is enabled by setting BKABEN in
DBGC2. DBG mode is enabled by setting DBGEN in DBGC1. Setting BKABEN in DBGC2 overrides the
DBGEN in DBGC1 and prevents DBG mode. If the part is in secure mode, DBG mode cannot be enabled.
16.4.1 DBG Operating in BKP Mode
In BKP mode, the DBG will be fully backwards compatible with the existing BKP_ST12_A module. The
DBGC2 register has four additional bits that were not available on existing BKP_ST12_A modules. As
long as these bits are written to either all 1s or all 0s, they should be transparent to the user. All 1s would
enable comparator C to be used as a breakpoint, but tagging would be enabled. The match address register
would be all 0s if not modified by the user. Therefore, code executing at address 0x0000 would have to
occur before a breakpoint based on comparator C would happen.
The DBG module in BKP mode supports two modes of operation: dual address mode and full breakpoint
mode. Within each of these modes, forced or tagged breakpoint types can be used. Forced breakpoints
occur at the next instruction boundary if a match occurs and tagged breakpoints allow for breaking just
before the tagged instruction executes. The action taken upon a successful match can be to either place the
CPU in background debug mode or to initiate a software interrupt.
The breakpoint can operate in dual address mode or full breakpoint mode. Each of these modes is
discussed in the subsections below.
16.4.1.1 Dual Address Mode
When dual address mode is enabled, two address breakpoints can be set. Each breakpoint can cause the
system to enter background debug mode or to initiate a software interrupt based upon the state of BDM in

DBGC2 being logic 1 or logic 0, respectively. BDM requests have a higher priority than SWI requests. No
data breakpoints are allowed in this mode.
TAGAB in DBGC2 selects whether the breakpoint mode is forced or tagged. The BKxMBH:L bits in
DBGC3 select whether or not the breakpoint is matched exactly or is a range breakpoint. They also select
whether the address is matched on the high byte, low byte, both bytes, and/or memory expansion. The
RWx and RWxEN bits in DBGC3 select whether the type of bus cycle to match is a read, write, or
read/write when performing forced breakpoints.
16.4.1.2 Full Breakpoint Mode
Full breakpoint mode requires a match on address and data for a breakpoint to occur. Upon a successful
match, the system will enter background debug mode or initiate a software interrupt based upon the state
of BDM in DBGC2 being logic 1 or logic 0, respectively. BDM requests have a higher priority than SWI
requests. R/W matches are also allowed in this mode.
TAGAB in DBGC2 selects whether the breakpoint mode is forced or tagged. When TAGAB is set in
DBGC2, only addresses are compared and data is ignored. The BKAMBH:L bits in DBGC3 select
whether or not the breakpoint is matched exactly, is a range breakpoint, or is in page space. The
BKBMBH:L bits in DBGC3 select whether the data is matched on the high byte, low byte, or both bytes.
RWA and RWAEN bits in DBGC2 select whether the type of bus cycle to match is a read or a write when
performing forced breakpoints. RWB and RWBEN bits in DBGC2 are not used in full breakpoint mode.
NOTE
The full trigger mode is designed to be used for either a word access or a
byte access, but not both at the same time. Confusing trigger operation
(seemingly false triggers or no trigger) can occur if the trigger address
occurs in the user program as both byte and word accesses.
16.4.1.3 Breakpoint Priority
Breakpoint operation is first determined by the state of the BDM module. If the BDM module is already
active, meaning the CPU is executing out of BDM firmware, breakpoints are not allowed. In addition,
while executing a BDM TRACE command, tagging into BDM is not allowed. If BDM is not active, the
breakpoint will give priority to BDM requests over SWI requests. This condition applies to both forced
and tagged breakpoints.
In all cases, BDM related breakpoints will have priority over those generated by the Breakpoint sub-block.
This priority includes breakpoints enabled by the TAGLO and TAGHI external pins of the system that
interface with the BDM directly and whose signal information passes through and is used by the
breakpoint sub-block.
Chapter 16 Debug Module (DBGV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
502 Freescale Semiconductor
NOTE
BDM should not be entered from a breakpoint unless the ENABLE bit is set
in the BDM. Even if the ENABLE bit in the BDM is cleared, the CPU
actually executes the BDM firmware code. It checks the ENABLE and
returns if ENABLE is not set. If the BDM is not serviced by the monitor then
the breakpoint would be re-asserted when the BDM returns to normal CPU
flow.
There is no hardware to enforce restriction of breakpoint operation if the
BDM is not enabled.
When program control returns from a tagged breakpoint through an RTI or
a BDM GO command, it will return to the instruction whose tag generated
the breakpoint. Unless breakpoints are disabled or modified in the service
routine or active BDM session, the instruction will be tagged again and the
breakpoint will be repeated. In the case of BDM breakpoints, this situation
can also be avoided by executing a TRACE1 command before the GO to
increment the program flow past the tagged instruction.
16.4.1.4 Using Comparator C in BKP Mode
The original BKP_ST12_A module supports two breakpoints. The DBG_ST12_A module can be used in
BKP mode and allow a third breakpoint using comparator C. Four additional bits, BKCEN, TAGC,
RWCEN, and RWC in DBGC2 in conjunction with additional comparator C address registers, DBGCCX,
DBGCCH, and DBGCCL allow the user to set up a third breakpoint. Using PAGSEL in DBGCCX for
expanded memory will work differently than the way paged memory is done using comparator A and B in
BKP mode. See Section 16.3.2.5, “Debug Comparator C Extended Register (DBGCCX),” for more
information on using comparator C.
16.4.2 DBG Operating in DBG Mode
Enabling the DBG module in DBG mode, allows the arming, triggering, and storing of data in the trace
buffer and can be used to cause CPU breakpoints. The DBG module is made up of three main blocks, the
comparators, trace buffer control logic, and the trace buffer.
NOTE
In general, there is a latency between the triggering event appearing on the
bus and being detected by the DBG circuitry. In general, tagged triggers will
be more predictable than forced triggers.
16.4.2.1 Comparators
The DBG contains three comparators, A, B, and C. Comparator A compares the core address bus with the
address stored in DBGCAH and DBGCAL. Comparator B compares the core address bus with the address
stored in DBGCBH and DBGCBL except in full mode, where it compares the data buses to the data stored
in DBGCBH and DBGCBL. Comparator C can be used as a breakpoint generator or as the address
comparison unit in the loop1 mode. Matches on comparator A, B, and C are signaled to the trace buffer
Chapter 16 Debug Module (DBGV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 503
control (TBC) block. When PAGSEL = 01, registers DBGCAX, DBGCBX, and DBGCCX are used to
match the upper addresses as shown in Table 16-11.
NOTE
If a tagged-type C breakpoint is set at the same address as an A/B
tagged-type trigger (including the initial entry in an inside or outside range
trigger), the C breakpoint will have priority and the trigger will not be
recognized.
16.4.2.1.1 Read or Write Comparison
Read or write comparisons are useful only with TRGSEL = 0, because only opcodes should be tagged as
they are “read” from memory. RWAEN and RWBEN are ignored when TRGSEL = 1.
In full modes (“A and B” and “A and not B”) RWAEN and RWA are used to select read or write
comparisons for both comparators A and B. Table 16-24 shows the effect for RWAEN, RWA, and RW on
the DBGCB comparison conditions. The RWBEN and RWB bits are not used and are ignored in full
modes.
16.4.2.1.2 Trigger Selection
The TRGSEL bit in DBGC1 is used to determine the triggering condition in DBG mode. TRGSEL applies
to both trigger A and B except in the event only trigger modes. By setting TRGSEL, the comparators A
and B will qualify a match with the output of opcode tracking logic and a trigger occurs before the tagged
instruction executes (tagged-type trigger). With the TRGSEL bit cleared, a comparator match forces a
trigger when the matching condition occurs (force-type trigger).
NOTE
If the TRGSEL is set, the address stored in the comparator match address
registers must be an opcode address for the trigger to occur.
16.4.2.2 Trace Buffer Control (TBC)
The TBC is the main controller for the DBG module. Its function is to decide whether data should be stored
in the trace buffer based on the trigger mode and the match signals from the comparator. The TBC also
determines whether a request to break the CPU should occur.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
504 Freescale Semiconductor
16.4.2.3 Begin- and End-Trigger
The definitions of begin- and end-trigger as used in the DBG module are as follows:
• Begin-trigger: Storage in trace buffer occurs after the trigger and continues until 64 locations are
filled.
• End-trigger: Storage in trace buffer occurs until the trigger, with the least recent data falling out of
the trace buffer if more than 64 words are collected.
16.4.2.4 Arming the DBG Module
In DBG mode, arming occurs by setting DBGEN and ARM in DBGC1. The ARM bit in DBGC1 is cleared
when the trigger condition is met in end-trigger mode or when the Trace Buffer is filled in begin-trigger
mode. The TBC logic determines whether a trigger condition has been met based on the trigger mode and
the trigger selection.
16.4.2.5 Trigger Modes
The DBG module supports nine trigger modes. The trigger modes are encoded as shown in Table 16-6.
The trigger mode is used as a qualifier for either starting or ending the storing of data in the trace buffer.
When the match condition is met, the appropriate flag A or B is set in DBGSC. Arming the DBG module
clears the A, B, and C flags in DBGSC. In all trigger modes except for the event-only modes and DETAIL
capture mode, change-of-flow addresses are stored in the trace buffer. In the event-only modes only the
value on the data bus at the trigger event B will be stored. In DETAIL capture mode address and data for
all cycles except program fetch (P) and free (f) cycles are stored in trace buffer.
16.4.2.5.1 A Only
In the A only trigger mode, if the match condition for A is met, the A flag in DBGSC is set and a trigger
occurs.
16.4.2.5.2 A or B
In the A or B trigger mode, if the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in DBGSC is
set and a trigger occurs.
16.4.2.5.3 A then B
In the A then B trigger mode, the match condition for A must be met before the match condition for B is
compared. When the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in DBGSC is set. The
trigger occurs only after A then B have matched.
NOTE
When tagging and using A then B, if addresses A and B are close together,
then B may not complete the trigger sequence. This occurs when A and B
are in the instruction queue at the same time. Basically the A trigger has not
yet occurred, so the B instruction is not tagged. Generally, if address B is at
Chapter 16 Debug Module (DBGV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 505
least six addresses higher than address A (or B is lower than A) and there
are not changes of flow to put these in the queue at the same time, then this
operation should trigger properly.
16.4.2.5.4 Event-Only B (Store Data)
In the event-only B trigger mode, if the match condition for B is met, the B flag in DBGSC is set and a
trigger occurs. The event-only B trigger mode is considered a begin-trigger type and the BEGIN bit in
DBGC1 is ignored. Event-only B is incompatible with instruction tagging (TRGSEL = 1), and thus the
value of TRGSEL is ignored. Please refer to Section 16.4.2.7, “Storage Memory,” for more information.
This trigger mode is incompatible with the detail capture mode so the detail capture mode will have
priority. TRGSEL and BEGIN will not be ignored and this trigger mode will behave as if it were “B only”.
16.4.2.5.5 A then Event-Only B (Store Data)
In the A then event-only B trigger mode, the match condition for A must be met before the match condition
for B is compared, after the A match has occurred, a trigger occurs each time B matches. When the match
condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in DBGSC is set. The A then event-only B trigger mode
is considered a begin-trigger type and BEGIN in DBGC1 is ignored. TRGSEL in DBGC1 applies only to
the match condition for A. Please refer to Section 16.4.2.7, “Storage Memory,” for more information.
This trigger mode is incompatible with the detail capture mode so the detail capture mode will have
priority. TRGSEL and BEGIN will not be ignored and this trigger mode will be the same as A then B.
16.4.2.5.6 A and B (Full Mode)
In the A and B trigger mode, comparator A compares to the address bus and comparator B compares to
the data bus. In the A and B trigger mode, if the match condition for A and B happen on the same bus cycle,
both the A and B flags in the DBGSC register are set and a trigger occurs.
If TRGSEL = 1, only matches from comparator A are used to determine if the trigger condition is met and
comparator B matches are ignored. If TRGSEL = 0, full-word data matches on an odd address boundary
(misaligned access) do not work unless the access is to a RAM that manages misaligned accesses in a
single clock cycle (which is typical of RAM modules used in HCS12 MCUs).
16.4.2.5.7 A and Not B (Full Mode)
In the A and not B trigger mode, comparator A compares to the address bus and comparator B compares
to the data bus. In the A and not B trigger mode, if the match condition for A and not B happen on the same
bus cycle, both the A and B flags in DBGSC are set and a trigger occurs.
If TRGSEL = 1, only matches from comparator A are used to determine if the trigger condition is met and
comparator B matches are ignored. As described in Section 16.4.2.5.6, “A and B (Full Mode),” full-word
data compares on misaligned accesses will not match expected data (and thus will cause a trigger in this
mode) unless the access is to a RAM that manages misaligned accesses in a single clock cycle.

MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
506 Freescale Semiconductor
16.4.2.5.8 Inside Range (A ≤ address ≤ B)
In the inside range trigger mode, if the match condition for A and B happen on the same bus cycle, both
the A and B flags in DBGSC are set and a trigger occurs. If a match condition on only A or only B occurs
no flags are set. If TRGSEL = 1, the inside range is accurate only to word boundaries. If TRGSEL = 0, an
aligned word access which straddles the range boundary will cause a trigger only if the aligned address is
within the range.
16.4.2.5.9 Outside Range (address < A or address > B)
In the outside range trigger mode, if the match condition for A or B is met, the corresponding flag in
DBGSC is set and a trigger occurs. If TRGSEL = 1, the outside range is accurate only to word boundaries.
If TRGSEL = 0, an aligned word access which straddles the range boundary will cause a trigger only if the
aligned address is outside the range.
16.4.2.5.10 Control Bit Priorities
The definitions of some of the control bits are incompatible with each other. Table 16-25 and the notes
associated with it summarize how these incompatibilities are managed:
• Read/write comparisons are not compatible with TRGSEL = 1. Therefore, RWAEN and RWBEN
are ignored.
• Event-only trigger modes are always considered a begin-type trigger. See Section 16.4.2.8.1,
“Storing with Begin-Trigger,” and Section 16.4.2.8.2, “Storing with End-Trigger.”
• Detail capture mode has priority over the event-only trigger/capture modes. Therefore, event-only
modes have no meaning in detail mode and their functions default to similar trigger modes.

16.4.2.6 Capture Modes
The DBG in DBG mode can operate in four capture modes. These modes are described in the following
subsections.
16.4.2.6.1 Normal Mode
In normal mode, the DBG module uses comparator A and B as triggering devices. Change-of-flow
information or data will be stored depending on TRG in DBGSC.
16.4.2.6.2 Loop1 Mode
The intent of loop1 mode is to prevent the trace buffer from being filled entirely with duplicate information
from a looping construct such as delays using the DBNE instruction or polling loops using
BRSET/BRCLR instructions. Immediately after address information is placed in the trace buffer, the DBG
module writes this value into the C comparator and the C comparator is placed in ignore address mode.
This will prevent duplicate address entries in the trace buffer resulting from repeated bit-conditional
branches. Comparator C will be cleared when the ARM bit is set in loop1 mode to prevent the previous
contents of the register from interfering with loop1 mode operation. Breakpoints based on comparator C
are disabled.
Loop1 mode only inhibits duplicate source address entries that would typically be stored in most tight
looping constructs. It will not inhibit repeated entries of destination addresses or vector addresses, because
repeated entries of these would most likely indicate a bug in the user’s code that the DBG module is
designed to help find.
NOTE
In certain very tight loops, the source address will have already been fetched
again before the C comparator is updated. This results in the source address
being stored twice before further duplicate entries are suppressed. This
condition occurs with branch-on-bit instructions when the branch is fetched
by the first P-cycle of the branch or with loop-construct instructions in
which the branch is fetched with the first or second P cycle. See examples
below:
LOOP INCX ; 1-byte instruction fetched by 1st P-cycle of BRCLR
BRCLR CMPTMP,#$0c,LOOP ; the BRCLR instruction also will be fetched by 1st P-cycle of BRCLR
LOOP2 BRN * ; 2-byte instruction fetched by 1st P-cycle of DBNE
NOP ; 1-byte instruction fetched by 2nd P-cycle of DBNE
DBNE A,LOOP2 ; this instruction also fetched by 2nd P-cycle of DBNE
NOTE
Loop1 mode does not support paged memory, and inhibits duplicate entries
in the trace buffer based solely on the CPU address. There is a remote
possibility of an erroneous address match if program flow alternates
between paged and unpaged memory space.
Chapter 16 Debug Module (DBGV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
508 Freescale Semiconductor
16.4.2.6.3 Detail Mode
In the detail mode, address and data for all cycles except program fetch (P) and free (f) cycles are stored
in trace buffer. This mode is intended to supply additional information on indexed, indirect addressing
modes where storing only the destination address would not provide all information required for a user to
determine where his code was in error.
16.4.2.6.4 Profile Mode
This mode is intended to allow a host computer to poll a running target and provide a histogram of program
execution. Each read of the trace buffer address will return the address of the last instruction executed. The
DBGCNT register is not incremented and the trace buffer does not get filled. The ARM bit is not used and
all breakpoints and all other debug functions will be disabled.
16.4.2.7 Storage Memory
The storage memory is a 64 words deep by 16-bits wide dual port RAM array. The CPU accesses the RAM
array through a single memory location window (DBGTBH:DBGTBL). The DBG module stores trace
information in the RAM array in a circular buffer format. As data is read via the CPU, a pointer into the
RAM will increment so that the next CPU read will receive fresh information. In all trigger modes except
for event-only and detail capture mode, the data stored in the trace buffer will be change-of-flow addresses.
change-of-flow addresses are defined as follows:
• Source address of conditional branches (long, short, BRSET, and loop constructs) taken
• Destination address of indexed JMP, JSR, and CALL instruction
• Destination address of RTI, RTS, and RTC instructions
• Vector address of interrupts except for SWI and BDM vectors
In the event-only trigger modes only the 16-bit data bus value corresponding to the event is stored. In the
detail capture mode, address and then data are stored for all cycles except program fetch (P) and free (f)
cycles.
16.4.2.8 Storing Data in Memory Storage Buffer
16.4.2.8.1 Storing with Begin-Trigger
Storing with begin-trigger can be used in all trigger modes. When DBG mode is enabled and armed in the
begin-trigger mode, data is not stored in the trace buffer until the trigger condition is met. As soon as the
trigger condition is met, the DBG module will remain armed until 64 words are stored in the trace buffer.
If the trigger is at the address of the change-of-flow instruction the change-of-flow associated with the
trigger event will be stored in the trace buffer.
16.4.2.8.2 Storing with End-Trigger
Storing with end-trigger cannot be used in event-only trigger modes. When DBG mode is enabled and
armed in the end-trigger mode, data is stored in the trace buffer until the trigger condition is met. When
the trigger condition is met, the DBG module will become de-armed and no more data will be stored. If
Chapter 16 Debug Module (DBGV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 509
the trigger is at the address of a change-of-flow address the trigger event will not be stored in the trace
buffer.
16.4.2.9 Reading Data from Trace Buffer
The data stored in the trace buffer can be read using either the background debug module (BDM) module
or the CPU provided the DBG module is enabled and not armed. The trace buffer data is read out first-in
first-out. By reading CNT in DBGCNT the number of valid words can be determined. CNT will not
decrement as data is read from DBGTBH:DBGTBL. The trace buffer data is read by reading
DBGTBH:DBGTBL with a 16-bit read. Each time DBGTBH:DBGTBL is read, a pointer in the DBG will
be incremented to allow reading of the next word.
Reading the trace buffer while the DBG module is armed will return invalid data and no shifting of the
RAM pointer will occur.
NOTE
The trace buffer should be read with the DBG module enabled and in the
same capture mode that the data was recorded. The contents of the trace
buffer counter register (DBGCNT) are resolved differently in detail mode
verses the other modes and may lead to incorrect interpretation of the trace
buffer data.
16.4.3 Breakpoints
There are two ways of getting a breakpoint in DBG mode. One is based on the trigger condition of the
trigger mode using comparator A and/or B, and the other is using comparator C. External breakpoints
generated using the TAGHI and TAGLO external pins are disabled in DBG mode.
16.4.3.1 Breakpoint Based on Comparator A and B
A breakpoint request to the CPU can be enabled by setting DBGBRK in DBGC1. The value of BEGIN in
DBGC1 determines when the breakpoint request to the CPU will occur. When BEGIN in DBGC1 is set,
begin-trigger is selected and the breakpoint request will not occur until the trace buffer is filled with
64 words. When BEGIN in DBGC1 is cleared, end-trigger is selected and the breakpoint request will occur
immediately at the trigger cycle.
There are two types of breakpoint requests supported by the DBG module, tagged and forced. Tagged
breakpoints are associated with opcode addresses and allow breaking just before a specific instruction
executes. Forced breakpoints are not associated with opcode addresses and allow breaking at the next
instruction boundary. The type of breakpoint based on comparators A and B is determined by TRGSEL in
the DBGC1 register (TRGSEL = 1 for tagged breakpoint, TRGSEL = 0 for forced breakpoint).
Table 16-26 illustrates the type of breakpoint that will occur based on the debug run.
Chapter 16 Debug Module (DBGV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
510 Freescale Semiconductor
16.4.3.2 Breakpoint Based on Comparator C
A breakpoint request to the CPU can be created if BKCEN in DBGC2 is set. Breakpoints based on a
successful comparator C match can be accomplished regardless of the mode of operation for comparator
A or B, and do not affect the status of the ARM bit. TAGC in DBGC2 is used to select either tagged or
forced breakpoint requests for comparator C. Breakpoints based on comparator C are disabled in LOOP1
mode.
NOTE
Because breakpoints cannot be disabled when the DBG is armed, one must
be careful to avoid an “infinite breakpoint loop” when using tagged-type C
breakpoints while the DBG is armed. If BDM breakpoints are selected,
executing a TRACE1 instruction before the GO instruction is the
recommended way to avoid re-triggering a breakpoint if one does not wish
to de-arm the DBG. If SWI breakpoints are selected, disarming the DBG in
the SWI interrupt service routine is the recommended way to avoid
re-triggering a breakpoint.
16.5 Resets
The DBG module is disabled after reset.
The DBG module cannot cause a MCU reset.
16.6 Interrupts
The DBG contains one interrupt source. If a breakpoint is requested and BDM in DBGC2 is cleared, an
SWI interrupt will be generated.

Chapter 17 Interrupt (INTV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
514 Freescale Semiconductor
The interrupt sub-block decodes the priority of all system exception requests and provides the applicable
vector for processing the exception. The INT supports I-bit maskable and X-bit maskable interrupts, a
non-maskable unimplemented opcode trap, a non-maskable software interrupt (SWI) or background debug
mode request, and three system reset vector requests. All interrupt related exception requests are managed
by the interrupt sub-block (INT).
17.1.1 Features
The INT includes these features:
• Provides two to 122 I-bit maskable interrupt vectors (0xFF00–0xFFF2)
• Provides one X-bit maskable interrupt vector (0xFFF4)
• Provides a non-maskable software interrupt (SWI) or background debug mode request vector
(0xFFF6)
• Provides a non-maskable unimplemented opcode trap (TRAP) vector (0xFFF8)
• Provides three system reset vectors (0xFFFA–0xFFFE) (reset, CMR, and COP)
• Determines the appropriate vector and drives it onto the address bus at the appropriate time
• Signals the CPU that interrupts are pending
• Provides control registers which allow testing of interrupts
• Provides additional input signals which prevents requests for servicing I and X interrupts
• Wakes the system from stop or wait mode when an appropriate interrupt occurs or whenever XIRQ
is active, even if XIRQ is masked
• Provides asynchronous path for all I and X interrupts, (0xFF00–0xFFF4)
• (Optional) selects and stores the highest priority I interrupt based on the value written into the
HPRIO register
17.1.2 Modes of Operation
The functionality of the INT sub-block in various modes of operation is discussed in the subsections that
follow.
• Normal operation
The INT operates the same in all normal modes of operation.
• Special operation
Interrupts may be tested in special modes through the use of the interrupt test registers.
• Emulation modes
The INT operates the same in emulation modes as in normal modes.
• Low power modes
See Section 17.4.1, “Low-Power Modes,” for details

17.2 External Signal Description
Most interfacing with the interrupt sub-block is done within the core. However, the interrupt does receive
direct input from the multiplexed external bus interface (MEBI) sub-block of the core for the IRQ and
XIRQ pin data.

17.4 Functional Description
The interrupt sub-block processes all exception requests made by the CPU. These exceptions include
interrupt vector requests and reset vector requests. Each of these exception types and their overall priority
level is discussed in the subsections below.
Table 17-3. ITEST Field Descriptions
Field Description
7:0
INT[E:0] Interrupt TEST Bits — These registers are used in special modes for testing the interrupt logic and priority
independent of the system configuration. Each bit is used to force a specific interrupt vector by writing it to a
logic 1 state. Bits are named INTE through INT0 to indicate vectors 0xFFxE through 0xFFx0. These bits can be
written only in special modes and only with the WRTINT bit set (logic 1) in the interrupt test control register
(ITCR). In addition, I interrupts must be masked using the I bit in the CCR. In this state, the interrupt input lines
to the interrupt sub-block will be disconnected and interrupt requests will be generated only by this register.
These bits can also be read in special modes to view that an interrupt requested by a system block (such as a
peripheral block) has reached the INT module.
There is a test register implemented for every eight interrupts in the overall system. All of the test registers share
the same address and are individually selected using the value stored in the ADR[3:0] bits of the interrupt test
control register (ITCR).
Note: When ADR[3:0] have the value of 0x000F, only bits 2:0 in the ITEST register will be accessible. That is,
vectors higher than 0xFFF4 cannot be tested using the test registers and bits 7:3 will always read as a
logic 0. If ADR[3:0] point to an unimplemented test register, writes will have no effect and reads will always
return a logic 0 value.

a non I-bit masked vector address (value higher than 0x00F2) is written, IRQ (0xFFF2) will be the default highest
priority interrupt.

17.4.1 Low-Power Modes
The INT does not contain any user-controlled options for reducing power consumption. The operation of
the INT in low-power modes is discussed in the following subsections.
17.4.1.1 Operation in Run Mode
The INT does not contain any options for reducing power in run mode.
17.4.1.2 Operation in Wait Mode
Clocks to the INT can be shut off during system wait mode and the asynchronous interrupt path will be
used to generate the wake-up signal upon recognition of a valid interrupt or any XIRQ request.
17.4.1.3 Operation in Stop Mode
Clocks to the INT can be shut off during system stop mode and the asynchronous interrupt path will be
used to generate the wake-up signal upon recognition of a valid interrupt or any XIRQ request.
17.5 Resets
The INT supports three system reset exception request types: normal system reset or power-on-reset
request, crystal monitor reset request, and COP watchdog reset request. The type of reset exception request
must be decoded by the system and the proper request made to the core. The INT will then provide the
service routine address for the type of reset requested.
17.6 Interrupts
As shown in the block diagram in Figure 17-1, the INT contains a register block to provide interrupt status
and control, an optional highest priority I interrupt (HPRIO) block, and a priority decoder to evaluate
whether pending interrupts are valid and assess their priority.
17.6.1 Interrupt Registers
The INT registers are accessible only in special modes of operation and function as described in
Section 17.3.2.1, “Interrupt Test Control Register,” and Section 17.3.2.2, “Interrupt Test Registers,”
previously.
17.6.2 Highest Priority I-Bit Maskable Interrupt
When the optional HPRIO block is implemented, the user is allowed to promote a single I-bit maskable
interrupt to be the highest priority I interrupt. The HPRIO evaluates all interrupt exception requests and
passes the HPRIO vector to the priority decoder if the highest priority I interrupt is active. RTI replaces
the promoted interrupt source.
Chapter 17 Interrupt (INTV1) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 519
17.6.3 Interrupt Priority Decoder
The priority decoder evaluates all interrupts pending and determines their validity and priority. When the
CPU requests an interrupt vector, the decoder will provide the vector for the highest priority interrupt
request. Because the vector is not supplied until the CPU requests it, it is possible that a higher priority
interrupt request could override the original exception that caused the CPU to request the vector. In this
case, the CPU will receive the highest priority vector and the system will process this exception instead of
the original request.
NOTE
Care must be taken to ensure that all exception requests remain active until
the system begins execution of the applicable service routine; otherwise, the
exception request may not be processed.
If for any reason the interrupt source is unknown (e.g., an interrupt request becomes inactive after the
interrupt has been recognized but prior to the vector request), the vector address will default to that of the
last valid interrupt that existed during the particular interrupt sequence. If the CPU requests an interrupt
vector when there has never been a pending interrupt request, the INT will provide the software interrupt
(SWI) vector address.
17.7 Exception Priority
The priority (from highest to lowest) and address of all exception vectors issued by the INT upon request
by the CPU is shown in Table 17-5.

Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)
18.1 Introduction
This section describes the functionality of the multiplexed external bus interface (MEBI) sub-block of the
S12 core platform. The functionality of the module is closely coupled with the S12 CPU and the memory
map controller (MMC) sub-blocks.
Figure 18-1 is a block diagram of the MEBI. In Figure 18-1, the signals on the right hand side represent
pins that are accessible externally. On some chips, these may not all be bonded out.
The MEBI sub-block of the core serves to provide access and/or visibility to internal core data
manipulation operations including timing reference information at the external boundary of the core and/or
system. Depending upon the system operating mode and the state of bits within the control registers of the
MEBI, the internal 16-bit read and write data operations will be represented in 8-bit or 16-bit accesses
externally. Using control information from other blocks within the system, the MEBI will determine the
appropriate type of data access to be generated.
18.1.1 Features
The block name includes these distinctive features:
• External bus controller with four 8-bit ports A,B, E, and K
• Data and data direction registers for ports A, B, E, and K when used as general-purpose I/O
• Control register to enable/disable alternate functions on ports E and K
• Mode control register
• Control register to enable/disable pull resistors on ports A, B, E, and K
• Control register to enable/disable reduced output drive on ports A, B, E, and K
• Control register to configure external clock behavior
• Control register to configure IRQ pin operation
• Logic to capture and synchronize external interrupt pin inputs

18.1.2 Modes of Operation
• Normal expanded wide mode
Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus and port E provides bus
control and status signals. This mode allows 16-bit external memory and peripheral devices to be
interfaced to the system.
• Normal expanded narrow mode
Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit address bus and port A is multiplexed with 8-bit data.
Port E provides bus control and status signals. This mode allows 8-bit external memory and
peripheral devices to be interfaced to the system.
• Normal single-chip mode
There is no external expansion bus in this mode. The processor program is executed from internal
memory. Ports A, B, K, and most of E are available as general-purpose I/O.
• Special single-chip mode
This mode is generally used for debugging single-chip operation, boot-strapping, or security
related operations. The active background mode is in control of CPU execution and BDM firmware
is waiting for additional serial commands through the BKGD pin. There is no external expansion
bus after reset in this mode.
• Emulation expanded wide mode
Developers use this mode for emulation systems in which the users target application is normal
expanded wide mode.
• Emulation expanded narrow mode
Developers use this mode for emulation systems in which the users target application is normal
expanded narrow mode.
• Special test mode
Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus and port E provides bus
control and status signals. In special test mode, the write protection of many control bits is lifted
so that they can be thoroughly tested without needing to go through reset.
• Special peripheral mode
This mode is intended for Freescale Semiconductor factory testing of the system. The CPU is
inactive and an external (tester) bus master drives address, data, and bus control signals.
18.2 External Signal Description
In typical implementations, the MEBI sub-block of the core interfaces directly with external system pins.
Some pins may not be bonded out in all implementations.
Table 18-1 outlines the pin names and functions and gives a brief description of their operation reset state
of these pins and associated pull-ups or pull-downs is dependent on the mode of operation and on the
integration of this block at the chip level (chip dependent).

This register controls the data direction for port A. When port A is operating as a general-purpose I/O port,
DDRA determines the primary direction for each port A pin. A 1 causes the associated port pin to be an
output and a 0 causes the associated pin to be a high-impedance input. The value in a DDR bit also affects
the source of data for reads of the corresponding PORTA register. If the DDR bit is 0 (input) the buffered
pin input state is read. If the DDR bit is 1 (output) the associated port data register bit state is read.
This register is not in the on-chip memory map in expanded and special peripheral modes. Therefore, these

18.3.2.6 Port E Data Register (PORTE)
Read: Anytime when register is in the map
Write: Anytime when register is in the map
Port E is associated with external bus control signals and interrupt inputs. These include mode select
(MODB/IPIPE1, MODA/IPIPE0), E clock, size (LSTRB/TAGLO), read/write (R/W), IRQ, and XIRQ.
When not used for one of these specific functions, port E pins 7:2 can be used as general-purpose I/O and
pins 1:0 can be used as general-purpose input. The port E assignment register (PEAR) selects the function
of each pin and DDRE determines whether each pin is an input or output when it is configured to be
general-purpose I/O. DDRE also determines the source of data for a read of PORTE.
Some of these pins have software selectable pull resistors. IRQ and XIRQ can only be pulled up whereas
the polarity of the PE7, PE4, PE3, and PE2 pull resistors are determined by chip integration. Please refer
to the device overview chapter (Signal Property Summary) to determine the polarity of these resistors.
A single control bit enables the pull devices for all of these pins when they are configured as inputs.
This register is not in the on-chip map in special peripheral mode or in expanded modes when the EME
bit is set. Therefore, these accesses will be echoed externally.
NOTE
It is unwise to write PORTE and DDRE as a word access. If you are
changing port E pins from being inputs to outputs, the data may have extra
transitions during the write. It is best to initialize PORTE before enabling as
outputs.

18.3.2.7 Data Direction Register E (DDRE)
Read: Anytime when register is in the map
Write: Anytime when register is in the map
Data direction register E is associated with port E. For bits in port E that are configured as general-purpose
I/O lines, DDRE determines the primary direction of each of these pins. A 1 causes the associated bit to
be an output and a 0 causes the associated bit to be an input. Port E bit 1 (associated with IRQ) and bit 0
(associated with XIRQ) cannot be configured as outputs. Port E, bits 1 and 0, can be read regardless of
whether the alternate interrupt function is enabled. The value in a DDR bit also affects the source of data
for reads of the corresponding PORTE register. If the DDR bit is 0 (input) the buffered pin input state is
read. If the DDR bit is 1 (output) the associated port data register bit state is read.
This register is not in the on-chip memory map in expanded and special peripheral modes. Therefore, these
accesses will be echoed externally. Also, it is not in the map in expanded modes while the EME control bit
is set.

18.3.2.8 Port E Assignment Register (PEAR)
Read: Anytime (provided this register is in the map).
Write: Each bit has specific write conditions. Please refer to the descriptions of each bit on the following
pages.
Port E serves as general-purpose I/O or as system and bus control signals. The PEAR register is used to
choose between the general-purpose I/O function and the alternate control functions. When an alternate
control function is selected, the associated DDRE bits are overridden.
The reset condition of this register depends on the mode of operation because bus control signals are
needed immediately after reset in some modes. In normal single-chip mode, no external bus control signals
are needed so all of port E is configured for general-purpose I/O. In normal expanded modes, only the E
clock is configured for its alternate bus control function and the other bits of port E are configured for
general-purpose I/O. As the reset vector is located in external memory, the E clock is required for this
access. R/W is only needed by the system when there are external writable resources. If the normal
expanded system needs any other bus control signals, PEAR would need to be written before any access
that needed the additional signals. In special test and emulation modes, IPIPE1, IPIPE0, E, LSTRB, and
R/W are configured out of reset as bus control signals.
This register is not in the on-chip memory map in expanded and special peripheral modes. Therefore, these
accesses will be echoed externally.

to emulate the internal memory expansion, the port pins are used as general-purpose I/O. When port K is
operating as a general-purpose I/O port, DDRK determines the primary direction for each port K pin. A 1
causes the associated port pin to be an output and a 0 causes the associated pin to be a high-impedance
input. The value in a DDR bit also affects the source of data for reads of the corresponding PORTK register.
If the DDR bit is 0 (input) the buffered pin input is read. If the DDR bit is 1 (output) the output of the port
data register is read.
This register is not in the map in peripheral or expanded modes while the EMK control bit in MODE
register is set. Therefore, these accesses will be echoed externally.
When inputs, these pins can be selected to be high impedance or pulled up, based upon the state of the
PUPKE bit in the PUCR register.

expansion, or as general-purpose I/O, depending upon the state of the EMK bit in the MODE register. While
this bit is used as a chip select, the external bit will return to its de-asserted state (VDD) for approximately 1/4

(ESTR bit in EBICTL = 0). See the MMC block description chapter for additional details on when this signal

general-purpose I/O depending upon the state of the EMK bit in the MODE register.

18.4 Functional Description
18.4.1 Detecting Access Type from External Signals
The external signals LSTRB, R/W, and AB0 indicate the type of bus access that is taking place. Accesses
to the internal RAM module are the only type of access that would produce LSTRB = AB0 = 1, because
the internal RAM is specifically designed to allow misaligned 16-bit accesses in a single cycle. In these
cases the data for the address that was accessed is on the low half of the data bus and the data for
address + 1 is on the high half of the data bus. This is summarized in Table 18-15.

Note: It is unwise to write PORTK and DDRK as a word access. If you are changing port K pins from inputs to
outputs, the data may have extra transitions during the write. It is best to initialize PORTK before enabling

Note: To ensure that you read the correct value from the PORTK pins, always wait at least one cycle after writing
to the DDRK register before reading from the PORTK register.

18.4.2 Stretched Bus Cycles
In order to allow fast internal bus cycles to coexist in a system with slower external memory resources, the
HCS12 supports the concept of stretched bus cycles (module timing reference clocks for timers and baud
rate generators are not affected by this stretching). Control bits in the MISC register in the MMC sub-block
of the core specify the amount of stretch (0, 1, 2, or 3 periods of the internal bus-rate clock). While
stretching, the CPU state machines are all held in their current state. At this point in the CPU bus cycle,
write data would already be driven onto the data bus so the length of time write data is valid is extended
in the case of a stretched bus cycle. Read data would not be captured by the system until the E clock falling
edge. In the case of a stretched bus cycle, read data is not required until the specified setup time before the
falling edge of the stretched E clock. The chip selects, and R/W signals remain valid during the period of
stretching (throughout the stretched E high time).
NOTE
The address portion of the bus cycle is not stretched.
18.4.3 Modes of Operation
The operating mode out of reset is determined by the states of the MODC, MODB, and MODA pins during
reset (Table 18-16). The MODC, MODB, and MODA bits in the MODE register show the current
operating mode and provide limited mode switching during operation. The states of the MODC, MODB,
and MODA pins are latched into these bits on the rising edge of the reset signal.
0 0 1 16-bit read of an even address
1 1 1 16-bit read of an odd address
(low/high data swapped)
0 0 0 16-bit write to an even address

Chapter 18 Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 545
There are two basic types of operating modes:
1. Normal modes: Some registers and bits are protected against accidental changes.
2. Special modes: Allow greater access to protected control registers and bits for special purposes
such as testing.
A system development and debug feature, background debug mode (BDM), is available in all modes. In
special single-chip mode, BDM is active immediately after reset.
Some aspects of Port E are not mode dependent. Bit 1 of Port E is a general purpose input or the IRQ
interrupt input. IRQ can be enabled by bits in the CPU’s condition codes register but it is inhibited at reset
so this pin is initially configured as a simple input with a pull-up. Bit 0 of Port E is a general purpose input
or the XIRQ interrupt input. XIRQ can be enabled by bits in the CPU’s condition codes register but it is
inhibited at reset so this pin is initially configured as a simple input with a pull-up. The ESTR bit in the
EBICTL register is set to one by reset in any user mode. This assures that the reset vector can be fetched
even if it is located in an external slow memory device. The PE6/MODB/IPIPE1 and PE5/MODA/IPIPE0
pins act as high-impedance mode select inputs during reset.
The following paragraphs discuss the default bus setup and describe which aspects of the bus can be
changed after reset on a per mode basis.
18.4.3.1 Normal Operating Modes
These modes provide three operating configurations. Background debug is available in all three modes, but
must first be enabled for some operations by means of a BDM background command, then activated.
18.4.3.1.1 Normal Single-Chip Mode
There is no external expansion bus in this mode. All pins of Ports A, B and E are configured as general
purpose I/O pins Port E bits 1 and 0 are available as general purpose input only pins with internal pull
resistors enabled. All other pins of Port E are bidirectional I/O pins that are initially configured as
high-impedance inputs with internal pull resistors enabled. Ports A and B are configured as
high-impedance inputs with their internal pull resistors disabled.
The pins associated with Port E bits 6, 5, 3, and 2 cannot be configured for their alternate functions IPIPE1,
IPIPE0, LSTRB, and R/W while the MCU is in single chip modes. In single chip modes, the associated
control bits PIPOE, LSTRE, and RDWE are reset to zero. Writing the opposite state into them in single
chip mode does not change the operation of the associated Port E pins.
In normal single chip mode, the MODE register is writable one time. This allows a user program to change
the bus mode to narrow or wide expanded mode and/or turn on visibility of internal accesses.
Port E, bit 4 can be configured for a free-running E clock output by clearing NECLK=0. Typically the only
use for an E clock output while the MCU is in single chip modes would be to get a constant speed clock
for use in the external application system.
Chapter 18 Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
546 Freescale Semiconductor
18.4.3.1.2 Normal Expanded Wide Mode
In expanded wide modes, Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus and
Port E bit 4 is configured as the E clock output signal. These signals allow external memory and peripheral
devices to be interfaced to the MCU.
Port E pins other than PE4/ECLK are configured as general purpose I/O pins (initially high-impedance
inputs with internal pull resistors enabled). Control bits PIPOE, NECLK, LSTRE, and RDWE in the
PEAR register can be used to configure Port E pins to act as bus control outputs instead of general purpose
I/O pins.
It is possible to enable the pipe status signals on Port E bits 6 and 5 by setting the PIPOE bit in PEAR, but
it would be unusual to do so in this mode. Development systems where pipe status signals are monitored
would typically use the special variation of this mode.
The Port E bit 2 pin can be reconfigured as the R/W bus control signal by writing “1” to the RDWE bit in
PEAR. If the expanded system includes external devices that can be written, such as RAM, the RDWE bit
would need to be set before any attempt to write to an external location. If there are no writable resources
in the external system, PE2 can be left as a general purpose I/O pin.
The Port E bit 3 pin can be reconfigured as the LSTRB bus control signal by writing “1” to the LSTRE bit
in PEAR. The default condition of this pin is a general purpose input because the LSTRB function is not
needed in all expanded wide applications.
The Port E bit 4 pin is initially configured as ECLK output with stretch. The E clock output function
depends upon the settings of the NECLK bit in the PEAR register, the IVIS bit in the MODE register and
the ESTR bit in the EBICTL register. The E clock is available for use in external select decode logic or as
a constant speed clock for use in the external application system.
18.4.3.1.3 Normal Expanded Narrow Mode
This mode is used for lower cost production systems that use 8-bit wide external EPROMs or RAMs. Such
systems take extra bus cycles to access 16-bit locations but this may be preferred over the extra cost of
additional external memory devices.
Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit address bus and Port A is multiplexed with data. Internal visibility
is not available in this mode because the internal cycles would need to be split into two 8-bit cycles.
Since the PEAR register can only be written one time in this mode, use care to set all bits to the desired
states during the single allowed write.
The PE3/LSTRB pin is always a general purpose I/O pin in normal expanded narrow mode. Although it is
possible to write the LSTRE bit in PEAR to “1” in this mode, the state of LSTRE is overridden and Port
E bit 3 cannot be reconfigured as the LSTRB output.
It is possible to enable the pipe status signals on Port E bits 6 and 5 by setting the PIPOE bit in PEAR, but
it would be unusual to do so in this mode. LSTRB would also be needed to fully understand system
activity. Development systems where pipe status signals are monitored would typically use special
expanded wide mode or occasionally special expanded narrow mode.
Chapter 18 Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 547
The PE4/ECLK pin is initially configured as ECLK output with stretch. The E clock output function
depends upon the settings of the NECLK bit in the PEAR register, the IVIS bit in the MODE register and
the ESTR bit in the EBICTL register. In normal expanded narrow mode, the E clock is available for use in
external select decode logic or as a constant speed clock for use in the external application system.
The PE2/R/W pin is initially configured as a general purpose input with an internal pull resistor enabled
but this pin can be reconfigured as the R/W bus control signal by writing “1” to the RDWE bit in PEAR.
If the expanded narrow system includes external devices that can be written such as RAM, the RDWE bit
would need to be set before any attempt to write to an external location. If there are no writable resources
in the external system, PE2 can be left as a general purpose I/O pin.
18.4.3.1.4 Emulation Expanded Wide Mode
In expanded wide modes, Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus and
Port E provides bus control and status signals. These signals allow external memory and peripheral devices
to be interfaced to the MCU. These signals can also be used by a logic analyzer to monitor the progress of
application programs.
The bus control related pins in Port E (PE7/NOACC, PE6/MODB/IPIPE1, PE5/MODA/IPIPE0,
PE4/ECLK, PE3/LSTRB/TAGLO, and PE2/R/W) are all configured to serve their bus control output
functions rather than general purpose I/O. Notice that writes to the bus control enable bits in the PEAR
register in emulation mode are restricted.
18.4.3.1.5 Emulation Expanded Narrow Mode
Expanded narrow modes are intended to allow connection of single 8-bit external memory devices for
lower cost systems that do not need the performance of a full 16-bit external data bus. Accesses to internal
resources that have been mapped external (i.e. PORTA, PORTB, DDRA, DDRB, PORTE, DDRE, PEAR,
PUCR, RDRIV) will be accessed with a 16-bit data bus on Ports A and B. Accesses of 16-bit external
words to addresses which are normally mapped external will be broken into two separate 8-bit accesses
using Port A as an 8-bit data bus. Internal operations continue to use full 16-bit data paths. They are only
visible externally as 16-bit information if IVIS=1.
Ports A and B are configured as multiplexed address and data output ports. During external accesses,
address A15, data D15 and D7 are associated with PA7, address A0 is associated with PB0 and data D8
and D0 are associated with PA0. During internal visible accesses and accesses to internal resources that
have been mapped external, address A15 and data D15 is associated with PA7 and address A0 and data
D0 is associated with PB0.
The bus control related pins in Port E (PE7/NOACC, PE6/MODB/IPIPE1, PE5/MODA/IPIPE0,
PE4/ECLK, PE3/LSTRB/TAGLO, and PE2/R/W) are all configured to serve their bus control output
functions rather than general purpose I/O. Notice that writes to the bus control enable bits in the PEAR
register in emulation mode are restricted.
The main difference between special modes and normal modes is that some of the bus control and system
control signals cannot be written in emulation modes.

18.4.3.2 Special Operating Modes
There are two special operating modes that correspond to normal operating modes. These operating modes
are commonly used in factory testing and system development.
18.4.3.2.1 Special Single-Chip Mode
When the MCU is reset in this mode, the background debug mode is enabled and active. The MCU does
not fetch the reset vector and execute application code as it would in other modes. Instead the active
background mode is in control of CPU execution and BDM firmware is waiting for additional serial
commands through the BKGD pin. When a serial command instructs the MCU to return to normal
execution, the system will be configured as described below unless the reset states of internal control
registers have been changed through background commands after the MCU was reset.
There is no external expansion bus after reset in this mode. Ports A and B are initially simple bidirectional
I/O pins that are configured as high-impedance inputs with internal pull resistors disabled; however,
writing to the mode select bits in the MODE register (which is allowed in special modes) can change this
after reset. All of the Port E pins (except PE4/ECLK) are initially configured as general purpose
high-impedance inputs with internal pull resistors enabled. PE4/ECLK is configured as the E clock output
in this mode.
The pins associated with Port E bits 6, 5, 3, and 2 cannot be configured for their alternate functions IPIPE1,
IPIPE0, LSTRB, and R/W while the MCU is in single chip modes. In single chip modes, the associated
control bits PIPOE, LSTRE and RDWE are reset to zero. Writing the opposite value into these bits in
single chip mode does not change the operation of the associated Port E pins.
Port E, bit 4 can be configured for a free-running E clock output by clearing NECLK=0. Typically the only
use for an E clock output while the MCU is in single chip modes would be to get a constant speed clock
for use in the external application system.
18.4.3.2.2 Special Test Mode
In expanded wide modes, Ports A and B are configured as a 16-bit multiplexed address and data bus and
Port E provides bus control and status signals. In special test mode, the write protection of many control
bits is lifted so that they can be thoroughly tested without needing to go through reset.
18.4.3.3 Test Operating Mode
There is a test operating mode in which an external master, such as an I.C. tester, can control the on-chip
peripherals.
18.4.3.3.1 Peripheral Mode
This mode is intended for factory testing of the MCU. In this mode, the CPU is inactive and an external
(tester) bus master drives address, data and bus control signals in through Ports A, B and E. In effect, the
whole MCU acts as if it was a peripheral under control of an external CPU. This allows faster testing of
on-chip memory and peripherals than previous testing methods. Since the mode control register is not
accessible in peripheral mode, the only way to change to another mode is to reset the MCU into a different
Chapter 18 Multiplexed External Bus Interface (MEBIV3)
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
Freescale Semiconductor 549
mode. Background debugging should not be used while the MCU is in special peripheral mode as internal
bus conflicts between BDM and the external master can cause improper operation of both functions.
18.4.4 Internal Visibility
Internal visibility is available when the MCU is operating in expanded wide modes or emulation narrow
mode. It is not available in single-chip, peripheral or normal expanded narrow modes. Internal visibility is
enabled by setting the IVIS bit in the MODE register.
If an internal access is made while E, R/W, and LSTRB are configured as bus control outputs and internal
visibility is off (IVIS=0), E will remain low for the cycle, R/W will remain high, and address, data and the
LSTRB pins will remain at their previous state.
When internal visibility is enabled (IVIS=1), certain internal cycles will be blocked from going external.
During cycles when the BDM is selected, R/W will remain high, data will maintain its previous state, and
address and LSTRB pins will be updated with the internal value. During CPU no access cycles when the
BDM is not driving, R/W will remain high, and address, data and the LSTRB pins will remain at their
previous state.
NOTE
When the system is operating in a secure mode, internal visibility is not
available (i.e., IVIS = 1 has no effect). Also, the IPIPE signals will not be
visible, regardless of operating mode. IPIPE1–IPIPE0 will display 0es if
they are enabled. In addition, the MOD bits in the MODE control register
cannot be written.
18.4.5 Low-Power Options
The MEBI does not contain any user-controlled options for reducing power consumption. The operation
of the MEBI in low-power modes is discussed in the following subsections.
18.4.5.1 Operation in Run Mode
The MEBI does not contain any options for reducing power in run mode; however, the external addresses
are conditioned to reduce power in single-chip modes. Expanded bus modes will increase power
consumption.
18.4.5.2 Operation in Wait Mode
The MEBI does not contain any options for reducing power in wait mode.
18.4.5.3 Operation in Stop Mode
The MEBI will cease to function after execution of a CPU STOP instruction.

19.4 Functional Description
The MMC sub-block performs four basic functions of the core operation: bus control, address decoding
and select signal generation, memory expansion, and security decoding for the system. Each aspect is
described in the following subsections.
19.4.1 Bus Control
The MMC controls the address bus and data buses that interface the core with the rest of the system. This
includes the multiplexing of the input data buses to the core onto the main CPU read data bus and control
of data flow from the CPU to the output address and data buses of the core. In addition, the MMC manages
all CPU read data bus swapping operations.
19.4.2 Address Decoding
As data flows on the core address bus, the MMC decodes the address information, determines whether the
internal core register or firmware space, the peripheral space or a memory register or array space is being
addressed and generates the correct select signal. This decoding operation also interprets the mode of
operation of the system and the state of the mapping control registers in order to generate the proper select.
The MMC also generates two external chip select signals, emulation chip select (ECS) and external chip
select (XCS).
19.4.2.1 Select Priority and Mode Considerations
Although internal resources such as control registers and on-chip memory have default addresses, each can
be relocated by changing the default values in control registers. Normally, I/O addresses, control registers,

Freescale Semiconductor 565
vector spaces, expansion windows, and on-chip memory are mapped so that their address ranges do not
overlap. The MMC will make only one select signal active at any given time. This activation is based upon
the priority outlined in Table 19-15. If two or more blocks share the same address space, only the select
signal for the block with the highest priority will become active. An example of this is if the registers and
the RAM are mapped to the same space, the registers will have priority over the RAM and the portion of
RAM mapped in this shared space will not be accessible. The expansion windows have the lowest priority.
This means that registers, vectors, and on-chip memory are always visible to a program regardless of the
values in the page select registers.
In expanded modes, all address space not used by internal resources is by default external memory space.
The data registers and data direction registers for ports A and B are removed from the on-chip memory
map and become external accesses. If the EME bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description
chapter) is set, the data and data direction registers for port E are also removed from the on-chip memory
map and become external accesses.
In special peripheral mode, the first 16 registers associated with bus expansion are removed from the
on-chip memory map (PORTA, PORTB, DDRA, DDRB, PORTE, DDRE, PEAR, MODE, PUCR,
RDRIV, and the EBI reserved registers).
In emulation modes, if the EMK bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description chapter) is set, the
data and data direction registers for port K are removed from the on-chip memory map and become
external accesses.
19.4.2.2 Emulation Chip Select Signal
When the EMK bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description chapter) is set, port K bit 7 is used
as an active-low emulation chip select signal, ECS. This signal is active when the system is in emulation
mode, the EMK bit is set and the FLASH or ROM space is being addressed subject to the conditions
outlined in Section 19.4.3.2, “Extended Address (XAB19:14) and ECS Signal Functionality.” When the
EMK bit is clear, this pin is used for general purpose I/O.
19.4.2.3 External Chip Select Signal
When the EMK bit in the MODE register (see MEBI block description chapter) is set, port K bit 6 is used
as an active-low external chip select signal, XCS. This signal is active only when the ECS signal described
above is not active and when the system is addressing the external address space. Accesses to

unimplemented locations within the register space or to locations that are removed from the map (i.e., ports
A and B in expanded modes) will not cause this signal to become active. When the EMK bit is clear, this
pin is used for general purpose I/O.
19.4.3 Memory Expansion
The HCS12 core architecture limits the physical address space available to 64K bytes. The program page
index register allows for integrating up to 1M byte of FLASH or ROM into the system by using the six
page index bits to page 16K byte blocks into the program page window located from 0x8000 to 0xBFFF
in the physical memory space. The paged memory space can consist of solely on-chip memory or a
combination of on-chip and off-chip memory. This partitioning is configured at system integration through
the use of the paging configuration switches (pag_sw1:pag_sw0) at the core boundary. The options
available to the integrator are as given in Table 19-16 (this table matches Table 19-12 but is repeated here
for easy reference).
Based upon the system configuration, the program page window will consider its access to be either
internal or external as defined in Table 19-17.
NOTE
The partitioning as defined in Table 19-17 applies only to the allocated
memory space and the actual on-chip memory sizes implemented in the
system may differ. Please refer to the device overview chapter for actual
sizes.

The PPAGE register holds the page select value for the program page window. The value of the PPAGE
register can be manipulated by normal read and write (some devices don’t allow writes in some modes)
instructions as well as the CALL and RTC instructions.
Control registers, vector spaces, and a portion of on-chip memory are located in unpaged portions of the
64K byte physical address space. The stack and I/O addresses should also be in unpaged memory to make
them accessible from any page.
The starting address of a service routine must be located in unpaged memory because the 16-bit exception
vectors cannot point to addresses in paged memory. However, a service routine can call other routines that
are in paged memory. The upper 16K byte block of memory space (0xC000–0xFFFF) is unpaged. It is
recommended that all reset and interrupt vectors point to locations in this area.
19.4.3.1 CALL and Return from Call Instructions
CALL and RTC are uninterruptable instructions that automate page switching in the program expansion
window. CALL is similar to a JSR instruction, but the subroutine that is called can be located anywhere in
the normal 64K byte address space or on any page of program expansion memory. CALL calculates and
stacks a return address, stacks the current PPAGE value, and writes a new instruction-supplied value to
PPAGE. The PPAGE value controls which of the 64 possible pages is visible through the 16K byte
expansion window in the 64K byte memory map. Execution then begins at the address of the called
subroutine.
During the execution of a CALL instruction, the CPU:
• Writes the old PPAGE value into an internal temporary register and writes the new
instruction-supplied PPAGE value into the PPAGE register.
• Calculates the address of the next instruction after the CALL instruction (the return address), and
pushes this 16-bit value onto the stack.
• Pushes the old PPAGE value onto the stack.
• Calculates the effective address of the subroutine, refills the queue, and begins execution at the new
address on the selected page of the expansion window.
This sequence is uninterruptable; there is no need to inhibit interrupts during CALL execution. A CALL
can be performed from any address in memory to any other address.
The PPAGE value supplied by the instruction is part of the effective address. For all addressing mode
variations except indexed-indirect modes, the new page value is provided by an immediate operand in the
instruction. In indexed-indirect variations of CALL, a pointer specifies memory locations where the new
page value and the address of the called subroutine are stored. Using indirect addressing for both the new
page value and the address within the page allows values calculated at run time rather than immediate
values that must be known at the time of assembly.
The RTC instruction terminates subroutines invoked by a CALL instruction. RTC unstacks the PPAGE
value and the return address and refills the queue. Execution resumes with the next instruction after the
CALL.
Chapter 19 Module Mapping Control (MMCV4) Block Description
MC9S12E256 Data Sheet, Rev. 1.10
568 Freescale Semiconductor
During the execution of an RTC instruction, the CPU:
• Pulls the old PPAGE value from the stack
• Pulls the 16-bit return address from the stack and loads it into the PC
• Writes the old PPAGE value into the PPAGE register
• Refills the queue and resumes execution at the return address
This sequence is uninterruptable; an RTC can be executed from anywhere in memory, even from a different
page of extended memory in the expansion window.
The CALL and RTC instructions behave like JSR and RTS, except they use more execution cycles.
Therefore, routinely substituting CALL/RTC for JSR/RTS is not recommended. JSR and RTS can be used
to access subroutines that are on the same page in expanded memory. However, a subroutine in expanded
memory that can be called from other pages must be terminated with an RTC. And the RTC unstacks a
PPAGE value. So any access to the subroutine, even from the same page, must use a CALL instruction so
that the correct PPAGE value is in the stack.
19.4.3.2 Extended Address (XAB19:14) and ECS Signal Functionality
If the EMK bit in the MODE register is set (see MEBI block description chapter) the PIX5:0 values will
be output on XAB19:14 respectively (port K bits 5:0) when the system is addressing within the physical
program page window address space (0x8000–0xBFFF) and is in an expanded mode. When addressing
anywhere else within the physical address space (outside of the paging space), the XAB19:14 signals will
be assigned a constant value based upon the physical address space selected. In addition, the active-low
emulation chip select signal, ECS, will likewise function based upon the assigned memory allocation. In
the cases of 48K byte and 64K byte allocated physical FLASH/ROM space, the operation of the ECS
signal will additionally depend upon the state of the ROMHM bit (see Section 19.3.2.4, “Miscellaneous
System Control Register (MISC)”) in the MISC register. Table 19-18,Table 19-19,Table 19-20, and
Table 19-21 summarize the functionality of these signals based upon the allocated memory configuration.
Again, this signal information is only available externally when the EMK bit is set and the system is in an
expanded mode.

The electrical characteristics given in this section are preliminary and
should be used as a guide only. Values cannot be guaranteed by Freescale
and are subject to change without notice.
The part is specified and tested over the 5V and 3.3V ranges. For the
intermediate range, generally the electrical specifications for the 3.3V range
apply, but the part is not tested in production test in the intermediate range.
This supplement contains the most accurate electrical information for the MC9S12E-Family
microcontroller available at the time of publication. The information should be considered
PRELIMINARY and is subject to change.
This introduction is intended to give an overview on several common topics like power supply, current
injection etc.
A.1.1 Parameter Classification
The electrical parameters shown in this supplement are guaranteed by various methods. To give the
customer a better understanding the following classification is used and the parameters are tagged
accordingly in the tables where appropriate.
NOTE
This classification will be added at a later release of the specification
P: Those parameters are guaranteed during production testing on each individual device.
C: Those parameters are achieved by the design characterization by measuring a statistically relevant
sample size across process variations. They are regularly verified by production monitors.
T: Those parameters are achieved by design characterization on a small sample size from typical devices.
All values shown in the typical column are within this category.
D: Those parameters are derived mainly from simulations.

A.1.2 Power Supply
The MC9S12E-Family utilizes several pins to supply power to the I/O ports, A/D converter, oscillator, PLL
and internal logic.
The VDDA, VSSA pair supplies the A/D converter and D/A converter.
The VDDX, VSSX pair supplies the I/O pins
The VDDR, VSSR pair supplies the internal voltage regulator.
VDD1, VSS1, VDD2 and VSS2 are the supply pins for the internal logic.
VDDPLL, VSSPLL supply the oscillator and the PLL.
VSS1 and VSS2 are internally connected by metal.
VDD1 and VDD2 are internally connected by metal.
VDDA, VDDX, VDDR as well as VSSA, VSSX, VSSR are connected by anti-parallel diodes for
ESD protection.
NOTE
In the following context VDD5 is used for either VDDA, VDDR and
VDDX; VSS5 is used for either VSSA, VSSR and VSSX unless otherwise
noted.
IDD5 denotes the sum of the currents flowing into the VDDA, VDDX and
VDDR pins.
VDD is used for VDD1, VDD2 and VDDPLL, VSS is used for VSS1, VSS2
and VSSPLL.
IDD is used for the sum of the currents flowing into VDD1 and VDD2.

A.1.3 Pins
There are four groups of functional pins.
A.1.3.1 3.3V/5V I/O Pins
Those I/O pins have a nominal level of 3.3V or 5V depending on the application operating point. This
group of pins is comprised of all port I/O pins, the analog inputs, BKGD pin and the RESET inputs.The
internal structure of all those pins is identical, however some of the functionality may be disabled.
A.1.3.2 Analog Reference
This group of pins is comprised of the VRH and VRL pins.
A.1.3.3 Oscillator
The pins XFC, EXTAL, XTAL dedicated to the oscillator have a nominal 2.5V level. They are supplied by
VDDPLL.
A.1.3.4 TEST
This pin is used for production testing only.
A.1.4 Current Injection
Power supply must maintain regulation within operating VDD5 or VDD range during instantaneous and
operating maximum current conditions. If positive injection current (Vin >V
DD5) is greater than IDD5, the
injection current may flow out of VDD5 and could result in external power supply going out of regulation.
Insure external VDD5 load will shunt current greater than maximum injection current. This will be the
greatest risk when the MCU is not consuming power; e.g. if no system clock is present, or if clock rate is
very low which would reduce overall power consumption.

A.1.5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. A functional operation under or outside those maxima
is not guaranteed. Stress beyond those limits may affect the reliability or cause permanent damage of the
device.
This device contains circuitry protecting against damage due to high static voltage or electrical fields;
however, it is advised that normal precautions be taken to avoid application of any voltages higher than
maximum-rated voltages to this high-impedance circuit. Reliability of operation is enhanced if unused
inputs are tied to an appropriate logic voltage level (e.g., either VSS5 or VDD5).

A.1.10.1 Measurement Conditions
All measurements are without output loads. Unless otherwise noted the currents are measured in single
chip mode, internal voltage regulator enabled and at 25MHz bus frequency using a 4MHz oscillator.
A.1.10.2 Additional Remarks
In expanded modes the currents flowing in the system are highly dependent on the load at the address, data
and control signals as well as on the duty cycle of those signals. No generally applicable numbers can be
given. A very good estimate is to take the single chip currents and add the currents due to the external loads.

A.3.1.1 POR
The release level VPORR and the assert level VPORA are derived from the VDD Supply. They are also valid
if the device is powered externally. After releasing the POR reset the oscillator and the clock quality check
are started. If after a time tCQOUT no valid oscillation is detected, the MCU will start using the internal self
clock. The fastest startup time possible is given by nuposc.
A.3.1.2 LVR
The release level VLVRR and the assert level VLVRA are derived from the VDD Supply. They are also valid
if the device is powered externally. After releasing the LVR reset the oscillator and the clock quality check
are started. If after a time tCQOUT no valid oscillation is detected, the MCU will start using the internal self
clock. The fastest startup time possible is given by nuposc.
A.3.1.3 SRAM Data Retention
Provided an appropriate external reset signal is applied to the MCU, preventing the CPU from executing
code when VDD5 is out of specification limits, the SRAM contents integrity is guaranteed if after the reset
the PORF bit in the CRG Flags Register has not been set.
A.3.1.4 External Reset
When external reset is asserted for a time greater than PWRSTL the CRG module generates an internal
reset, and the CPU starts fetching the reset vector without doing a clock quality check, if there was an
oscillation before reset.
A.3.1.5 Stop Recovery
Out of STOP the controller can be woken up by an external interrupt. A clock quality check as after POR
is performed before releasing the clocks to the system.
A.3.1.6 Pseudo Stop and Wait Recovery
The recovery from Pseudo STOP and Wait are essentially the same since the oscillator was not stopped in
both modes. The controller can be woken up by internal or external interrupts. After twrs the CPU starts
fetching the interrupt vector.

A.3.2 Oscillator
The device features an internal Colpitts and Pierce oscillator. The selection of Colpitts oscillator or Pierce
oscillator/external clock depends on the XCLKS signal which is sampled during reset. Pierce
oscillator/external clock mode allows the input of a square wave. Before asserting the oscillator to the
internal system clocks the quality of the oscillation is checked for each start from either power-on, STOP
or oscillator fail. tCQOUT specifies the maximum time before switching to the internal self clock mode after
POR or STOP if a proper oscillation is not detected. The quality check also determines the minimum
oscillator start-up time tUPOSC. The device also features a clock monitor. A Clock Monitor Failure is
asserted if the frequency of the incoming clock signal is below the Assert Frequency fCMFA.

A.3.3 Phase Locked Loop
The oscillator provides the reference clock for the PLL. The PLL´s Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
is also the system clock source in self clock mode.
A.3.3.1 XFC Component Selection
This section describes the selection of the XFC components to achieve a good filter characteristics.
Figure A-2. Basic PLL Functional Diagram
The following procedure can be used to calculate the resistance and capacitance values using typical values
for K1, f1 and ich from Table A-13.
The grey boxes show the calculation for fVCO = 50MHz and fref = 1MHz. E.g., these frequencies are used
for fOSC = 4MHz and a 25MHz bus clock.
The VCO Gain at the desired VCO frequency is approximated by:

The loop bandwidth fCshould be chosen to fulfill the Gardner’s stability criteria by at least a factor of 10,
typical values are 50. ζ = 0.9 ensures a good transient response.
And finally the frequency relationship is defined as
With the above values the resistance can be calculated. The example is shown for a loop bandwidth
fC=10kHz:
The capacitance Cs can now be calculated as:
The capacitance Cp should be chosen in the range of:
A.3.3.2 Jitter Information
The basic functionality of the PLL is shown in Figure A-2. With each transition of the clock fcmp, the
deviation from the reference clock fref is measured and input voltage to the VCO is adjusted
accordingly.The adjustment is done continuously with no abrupt changes in the clock output frequency.
Noise, voltage, temperature and other factors cause slight variations in the control loop resulting in a clock
jitter. This jitter affects the real minimum and maximum clock periods as illustrated in Figure A-3.

The relative deviation of tnom is at its maximum for one clock period, and decreases towards zero for larger
number of clock periods (N).
Defining the jitter as:
For N < 100, the following equation is a good fit for the maximum jitter:

A.4 Flash NVM
A.4.1 NVM Timing
The time base for all NVM program or erase operations is derived from the oscillator. A minimum
oscillator frequency fNVMOSC is required for performing program or erase operations. The NVM modules
do not have any means to monitor the frequency and will not prevent program or erase operation at
frequencies above or below the specified minimum. Attempting to program or erase the NVM modules at
a lower frequency a full program or erase transition is not assured.
The Flash program and erase operations are timed using a clock derived from the oscillator using the
FCLKDIV register. The frequency of this clock must be set within the limits specified as fNVMOP
.
The minimum program and erase times shown in Table A-14 are calculated for maximum fNVMOP and
maximum fbus. The maximum times are calculated for minimum fNVMOP and a fbus of 2MHz.
A.4.1.1 Single Word Programming
The programming time for single word programming is dependent on the bus frequency as a well as on the
frequency f¨NVMOP and can be calculated according to the following formula.
A.4.1.2 Row Programming
Flash programming where up to 64 words in a row can be programmed consecutively by keeping the
command pipeline filled. The time to program a consecutive word can be calculated as:
The time to program a whole row is:
Row programming is more than 2 times faster than single word programming.

The time it takes to perform a blank check on the Flash is dependant on the location of the first non-blank
word starting at relative address zero. It takes one bus cycle per word to verify plus a setup of the command.

A.6 ATD Characteristics
This section describes the characteristics of the analog to digital converter.
The ATD is specified and tested for both the 3.3V and 5V range. For ranges between 3.3V and 5V the ATD
accuracy is generally the same as in the 3.3V range but is not tested in this range in production test.
A.6.1 ATD Operating Characteristics — 5V Range
The Table A-19 shows conditions under which the ATD operates.
The following constraints exist to obtain full-scale, full range results:
VSSA ≤VRL ≤ VIN ≤ VRH ≤ VDDA.This constraint exists since the sample buffer amplifier can not
drive beyond the power supply levels that it ties to. If the input level goes outside of this range it will
effectively be clipped.
A.6.2 ATD Operating Characteristics — 3.3V Range
The Table A-20 shows conditions under which the ATD operates.
The following constraints exist to obtain full-scale, full range results:
VSSA ≤VRL ≤ VIN ≤ VRH ≤ VDDA.This constraint exists since the sample buffer amplifier can not
drive beyond the power supply levels that it ties to. If the input level goes outside of this range it will
effectively be clipped.

A.6.3 Factors Influencing Accuracy
Three factors — source resistance, source capacitance and current injection — have an influence on the
accuracy of the ATD.
A.6.3.1 Source Resistance
Due to the input pin leakage current as specified in Table A-6 and Table A-7 in conjunction with the source
resistance there will be a voltage drop from the signal source to the ATD input. The maximum source
resistance RS specifies results in an error of less than 1/2 LSB (2.5mV) at the maximum leakage current.
If device or operating conditions are less than worst case or leakage-induced error is acceptable, larger
values of source resistance are allowed.
A.6.3.2 Source Capacitance
When sampling an additional internal capacitor is switched to the input. This can cause a voltage drop due
to charge sharing with the external and the pin capacitance. For a maximum sampling error of the input
voltage ≤ 1LSB, then the external filter capacitor, Cf≥ 1024 * (CINS- CINN).
A.6.3.3 Current Injection
There are two cases to consider.
1. A current is injected into the channel being converted. The channel being stressed has conversion
values of 0x3FF (0xFF in 8-bit mode) for analog inputs greater than VRH and 0x000 for values
less than VRL unless the current is higher than specified as disruptive conditions.

2. Current is injected into pins in the neighborhood of the channel being converted. A portion of this
current is picked up by the channel (coupling ratio K), This additional current impacts the accuracy
of the conversion depending on the source resistance.
The additional input voltage error on the converted channel can be calculated as
VERR = K * RS * IINJ, with IINJ being the sum of the currents injected into the two pins adjacent
to the converted channel.

A.7 DAC Characteristics
This section describes the characteristics of the digital to analog converter.
A.7.1 DAC Operating Characteristics
A.8 External Bus Timing
A timing diagram of the external multiplexed-bus is illustrated in Figure A-10 with the actual timing
values shown on table Table A-26 and Table A-27. All major bus signals are included in the diagram.
While both a data write and data read cycle are shown, only one or the other would occur on a particular
bus cycle.
The expanded bus timings are highly dependent on the load conditions. The timing parameters shown
assume a balanced load across all outputs.
