USS-820D is a USB device controller that provides a
programmable bridge between the USB and a local
microprocessor bus. It is available in a 44-pin MQFP
package. The USS-820D allows PC peripherals to
upgrade to USB connectivity without major redesign
effort. It is programmable through a simple read/write
register interface that is compatible with industry-stan-
dard USB micro contr ol lers .
USS-820D is designed in 100% compliance with the
USB industry standard, allowing device-side USB prod-
ucts to be reliably installed using low-cost, off-the-shelf
cables and connecto rs.
The integrated USB transceiver supports 12 Mbits/s
full-speed operation. FIFO options support all four
transfer types: control, interrupt, bulk, and isochronous,
as described in Universal Serial Bus Specification
Revision 1.1, with a wide range of pack et si ze s. Its
double sets of FIFO enable the dual-packet mode
feature. The dual-packet mode feature reduces latency
by allowing simultaneous transfers on the host and
microprocessor sides of a given unidirectional
endpoint.
The USS-820D supports a maximum of eight bidirec-
tional endpoints with 16 FIFOs (eight for transmit and
eight for receive) associated with them. The FIFOs are
on-chip, and sizes are programmable up to a total of
1120 logical bytes. When the dual-packet mode feature
is enabled, the device uses a maximum of 2240 bytes
of physical storage. This additional physical FIFO stor-
age is managed by the device hardware and is trans-
parent to the user.
The FIFO sizes supported are 8 bytes, 16 bytes,
32 bytes, and 64 bytes for nonisochronous pipes, and
64 bytes, 256 bytes, 512 bytes, and 1024 bytes for iso-
chronous pipes. The FIFO size of a given endpoint
defines the upper limit to maximum packet size that the
hardware can support for that endpoint. This flexibility
covers a wide range of data rates, data type s, and
combinations of applications.
The USS-820D can be clocked either by connecting a
12 MHz crystal to the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins, or by
using a 12 MHz external oscillator . The internal 12 MHz
clock period, which is a function of either of these clock
sources, is referred to as the device clock period (tCLK)
throughout this data sheet.
Serial Interface Engine
The SIE is the USB protocol interpreter. It serves as a
communicator between the USS-820D and the host
through the USB lines.
The SIE functions include the following:
■Package protocol sequencing.
■SOP (start of packet), EOP (end of packet),
RESUME, and RESET signal detection and genera-
tion.
■NRZI data encoding/decoding and bit stuffing.
■CRC generation and checking for token and data.
■Serial-to-parallel and parallel- to-serial data conver-
sion.

Description (continued)
Protocol Layer
The protocol layer manages the interface between the
SIE and FIFO control blocks. It passes all USB OUT
and SETUP packets through to the appropriate FIFO. It
is the responsibility of firmware to correctly interpret
and execute each USB SETUP command (as docu-
mented in the Firmware Responsibilities for USB
SETUP Commands section) via the register interface.
The protocol layer tracks the setup, data, and status
stages of control transfers.
FIFO Con t rol
USS-820D’s FIFO control manager handles the data
flow between the FIFOs and the device controller’s pro-
tocol layer. It handles flow control and error handling/
faul t rec overy to moni tor tr ansac tion st at us and t o relay
control events via interrupt vectors.
FIFO Programm ability
Table 1 shows the programmable FIFO sizes. The size
of the FIFO determines the maximum packet size that
the hardware can support for a given endpoint. An end-
point is only allocated space in the shared FIFO stor-
age if its RXEPEN/TXEPEN bit = 1. If the endpoint is
disabled (RXEPEN/TXEPEN = 0), it is allocated
0 bytes. Register changes that affect the allocation of
the shared FIFO storage among endpoints must not be
made while there is valid data present in any of the
enabled endpoints’ FIFOs. Any such changes will ren-
der all FIFO contents undefined. Register bits that
affect the FIFO allocation are the endpoint enable bits
(the TXEPEN and RXEPEN bits of EPCON), the size
bits of an enabled endpoint (FFSZ bits of TXCON and
RXCON), the isochronous bit of an enabled endpoint
(TXISO bit of TXCON and RXISO bit of RXCON), and
the FEAT bit of the MCSR register.
If the MCSR.FEAT register bit is set to 1, additional
FIFO sizes are enabled for nonisochronous endpoints,
as shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Programmable FIFO Sizes
* Assumes MCSR.FEAT = 1. If this bit is 0 and FFSZ = 10 or 11, both
indicate a size of 64 bytes.
Each FIFO can be programmed independently via the
TXCON and RXCON registers, but the total logical size
of the enabled endpoints (TX FIFOs + RX FIFOs) must
not exceed 1120 bytes. The 1120-byte total allows a
configuration with a full-sized, 1024-byte isochronous
endpoint, a minimum-sized, 64-byte isochronous feed-
back endpoint, and the requi red, bid ir ectio nal , 16-b yt e
control endpoint. When the dual-packet mode feature
is enabled, the device uses a maximum of 2240 bytes
of physical storage. This additional physical FIFO stor-
age is managed by the device hardware and is trans-
parent to the user.
FIFO Access
The transmi t and receiv e FI FOs are ac cess ed by the
application through the register interface (see
Tables 22—25 for transmit FIFO registers and
Tables 26—29 for receive FIFO registers).
The transmit FIFO is written to via the TXDAT register,
and the receive FIFO is read via the RXDAT register.
The particular transmit/receive FIFO is specified by the
EPINDEX register. Each FIFO is accessed serially,
each RXDAT read increments the receive FIFO read
pointer by 1, and each TXDAT write increments the
transmit FIFO write pointer by 1.
Each FIFO consists of two data sets to provide the
capability for simultaneous read/write access. Control
of these pairs of data sets is managed by the hardware,
invisible to the application, although the application
must be aware of the implications. The receive FIFO
read access is advanced to the next data set by firm-
ware setting the RXFFRC bit of RXCON. This bit clears
itself after the advance is complete. The transmit FIFO
write access is advanced to the next data set by firm-
ware writing the byte count to the TXCNTH/L registers.
The USB access to the receive and transmit FIFOs is
managed by the hardware, although the control of the
nonisochronous data sets can be overridden by the
ARM and ATM bits of RXCON and TXCON, respec-
tively. A successful USB tra nsaction causes FIFO
access to be advanced to the next data set. A failed
USB transaction (e.g., for receive operations, FIFO
overrun, data time-out, CRC error, bit stuff error; for
transmit operations, FIFO underrun, no ACK from host)
causes the FIFO read/write pointer to be reversed to
the beginning of the data set to allow transmission retry
for nonisochronous transfers.

Description (continued)
FIFO Access (continued)
Transmit FIFO
The transmit FIFOs are circulating data buffers that have the following features:
■Support up to two separate data sets of variable sizes (dual-packet mode).
■Include byte counter register for storing the number of bytes in the data sets.
■Protect against overwriting data in a full FIFO.
■Can retransmit the current data set.
All transmit FIFOs use the same architecture (see Figure 2). The transmit FIFO and its associated logic can man-
age up to two data sets: data set 0 (ds0) and data set 1 (ds1). Since two data sets can be used in the FIFO, back-
to-back transmissions are supported. Dual-packet mode for transmit FIFOs is enabled by default. Single-packet
mode can be enforced by firmware convention (see TXFIF register bits).
The CPU writes to the FIFO location that is specified by the write pointer. After a write, the write pointer automati-
cally increments by 1. The read marker points to the first byte of data written to a data set, and the read pointer
points to the next FIFO location to be read by the USB interface. After a read, the read pointer automatically incre-
ments by 1.
When a good transmission is completed, the read marker can be advanced to the position of the read pointer to set
up for reading the next data set. When a bad transmission is completed, the read pointer can be reversed to the
position of the read marker to enable the function interface to reread the last data set for retransmission. The read
marker advance and read pointer reversal can be achieved two ways: explicitly by firmware or automatically by
hardware, as indicated by bits in the transmit FIFO control register (TXCON).

FIFO Access (continued)
Receive FIFO
The receive FIFOs are circulating data buffers that have the following features:
■Support up to two separate data sets of variable sizes (dual-packet mode).
■Include byte count register that accesses the number of bytes in data sets.
■Include flags to signal a full FIFO and an empty FIFO.
■Can reread the last data set.
Figure 3 shows a receive FIFO. A receive FIFO and its associated logic can manage up to two data sets: data set
0 (ds0) and data set 1 (ds1). Since two data sets can be used in the FIFO, back-to-back transmissions are
supported. Single-packet mode is established by default after a USS-820D device RESET, which sets the RXSPM
register bit. Firmware can enable dual-packet mode by clearing the RXSPM bit to 0.
The receive FIFO is symmetrical to the transmit FIFO in many ways. The SIE writes to the FIFO location specified
by the write pointer. After a write, the write pointer automatically increments by 1. The write marker points to the
first byte of data written to a data set, and the read pointer points to the next FIFO location to be read by the CPU.
After a read, the read pointer automatically increments by 1.
When a good reception is completed, the write marker can be advanced to the position of the write pointer to set up
for writing the next data set. When a bad transmission is completed, the write pointer can be reversed to the posi-
tion of the write marker to enable the SIE to rewrite the last data set after receiving the data again. The write marker
advance and write pointer reversal can be achieved two ways: explicitly by firmware or automatically by hardware,
as specified by bits in the receive FIFO control register (RXCON).
The CPU should not read data from the receive FIFO before all bytes are received and successfully acknowledged
because the reception may be bad.
To avoid overwriting data in the receive FIFO, the SIE monitors the FIFO full flag (RXFULL bit in RXFLG). To avoid
reading a byte when the FIFO is empty, the CPU can monitor the FIFO empty flag (RXEMP bit in RXFLG).
The CPU must not change the value of the EPINDEX register during the process of reading a data set from a par-
ticular receive FIFO. Once the CPU has read the first byte of a data set, the processor must ensure that the EPIN-
DEX register setting remains unchanged until after the last byte is read from that data set. Registers other than
EPINDEX may be read or written during this period, except for registers which af fect the overall FIFO configuration,
as described in the FIFO Programmability section. If EPINDEX is allowed to change during a data set read, incor-
rect data will be returned by the USS-820D when subsequent bytes are read from the partially read data set. There
is no such restriction when writing FIFOs.

USS-820D
Register Interface
The USS-820D is controlled through an asynchronous, read/write register interface. Registers are addressed via
the A[4:0] pins, and control is provided through the RDN, WRN, and IOCSN pins. Reserved bits of registers must
always be written with 0. Writing 1 to these bits may produce undefined results. These bits return undefined values
when read.
A register read is accomplished by placing the register address on the A bus and asserting the IOCSN and RDN
pins. After read data valid (tRDDV), the register data will appear on the D bus. A register write is accomplished by
placing the register address on the A bus and the data to be written on the D bus, and asserting the IOCSN and
WRN pins.
Tables 6 and 7 show alphabetical and numerical listings of all the available special function registers (SFR) for the
USS-820D. For reference purposes, an alphabetized list of SFR bit names is included in Appendix A. Tables 11—
38 provide details for each of the registers. Some of these registers are replicated for each endpoint. The individ-
ual, endpoint-specific register is selected by the EPINDEX register.

Special Firmware Action for Shared Register
Bits
Since the USS-820D registers are not bit-addressable
and contain several bits that may be written by either
firmware or hardware (shared bits), special care must
be taken to avoid incorrect behavior. In particular, firm-
ware must be careful not to write a bit after hardware
has updated the bit, but before firmware has recog-
nized the hardware update of the bit.
There are two general cases where this may occur:
1. Direct collision—Firmware does a read-modify-write
sequence to update a register bit, but between the
firmware read and firmware write, hardware
updates the bit. For example, in dual-packet mode,
hardware could update an SBI/SBI1 bit while firm-
ware is simultaneously resetting the same SBI/SBI1
bit. This would cause firmware to miss the fact that
a new transfer has completed.
2. Indirect collision—Firmware does a read-modify-
write sequence to update a register bit, but between
the firmware read and firmware write, hardware
updates a different bit in the same register. For
example, firmware could do a read-modify-write to
update the SOFODIS bit of the SOFH register, but
at the same time, hardware could be updating the
ASOF status bit. Firmware would inadvertently
reset the ASOF bit without being aware of the hard-
ware update.
These problems can be avoided through the use of the
PEND register, which can only be written by firmware.
Firmware must ensure that the PEND register bit is set
before writing any registers that contain shared bits.
All shared register bits have two copies: a standard
copy and a pended copy. The manner in which these
register bits are updated varies depending on the value
of the PEND register bit, as described in Table 8. The
standard copy is the bit that is read and written during
normal operation (PEND = 0). While PEND = 1, hard-
ware updates only affect the pended copy, and firm-
ware updates only affect the standard copy. When
firmware resets the PEND bit, the pended copies of the
shared bits are used to update the standard copies of
the shared bits as described in Table 9. Through these
means, hardware updates during a firmware read-
modify-write sequence will not be missed.
Firmware must execute the following sequence when
processing a shared bit (to avoid the direct collision
case), or when writing a bit which resides in a register
that contains shared bits (to avoid the indirect collision
case):
■Set the PEND bit.
■Read the register with the shared bit [Read].
■If processing a shared bit, respond to the shared bit.
For example, for an SBI/SBI1 bit, process any data
sets present for that endpoint.
■Update the bit [Modify ].
■Write the register with the shared bit with the modi-
fied data [Write].
■Reset the PEND bit.
When a data set is written to a receive FIFO, that
FIFO’s SBI/SBI1 register bit will set. Firmware must
process the indicated receive data set and, in doing so,
manage that FIFO’s SBI/SBI1 bit according to the
sequence described in this section. In dual-packet
mode, it is possible that a second data set will be
written to a receive FIFO before firmware has
completed processi ng of the ini tial data set. T his
second data set could have been written either before
or after firmware set the PEND bit to 1. Therefore, firm-
ware cannot determine whether or not this second
receive don e indi ca tio n was saved in the pend ed cop y
of the SBI/SBI1 bit. Because of this uncertainty, firm-
ware must process all receive data sets which are
present in the indicated FIFO before resetting the
PEND bit to 0. If the receive done indication of the
second data set was in fact saved in the pended SBI/
SBI1 register, then the standard copy of the SBI/SBI1
bit will be set when firmware resets the PEND bit to 0.

In this case, the SBI/SBI1 bit will be set even though
there is no corresponding data set present in the
receive FIFO. Therefore, firmware must be prepared to
service a receive done interrupt where no data sets are
present in the indicate d FIFO .
Table 9 shows the values loaded into each of the stan-
dard copies of the shared register bits when firmware
resets the PEND register bit.
The register bits that are only updated by firmware, but
reside in registers with shared bits and must therefore
be updated only while PEND is set, are shown in
Table 10.
Firmware should attempt to minimize the period during
which PEND is set in order to minimize the distortion of
the detection of hardware events.
Register Reads with Side Effects
In general, USS-820D register reads do not have side
ef fe cts— they do no t ca use a ny dev ice st a te to chan ge.
The following are exceptions to this rule:
■RXDAT reads cause the internal RX FIFO read
pointer to change and possibly cause the
RXFLG.RXURF register bit to SET.
■RXCNTH/RXCNTL reads while RXFLG.RXFIF = 00
cause the RXFLG.RXURF register bit to SET.
■LOCK reads restart the register unlock sequence
after SUSPEND (described in Special Action
Required by USS-820/USS-825 After Suspend—
AP97-058CMPR-04).
■Any register reads during a register unlock sequence
after SUSPEND, other than the LOCK register,
cause the unlock sequence to fail and require the
sequence to be restarted.

Bit Symbol Function/Description
7SOFACKSOF Token Received Without Error (Read Only). When set, this bit signifies that
the 11-bit time stamp stored in SOFL and SOFH is valid. This bit is updated every
time an SOF token is received from the USB bus, and it is cleared when an artificial
SOF is generated by the frame timer. This bit is set and cleared by hardware.
6ASOFAny Start of Frame. This bit is set by hardware to signify that a new frame has
begun. The interrupt can result either from the reception of an actual SOF packet or
from an artificially generated SOF from the frame timer. This interrupt is asserted in
hardware even if the frame timer is not locked to the USB bus frame timing. When
set, this bit indicates that either the actual SOF packet was received or an artificial
SOF was generated by the frame timer.
Setting this bit to 1 by firmware has the same effect as when it is set by hardware.
This bit must be cleared to 0 by firmware if SOFODIS = 1 or if MCSR.FEAT = 1. If
SOFODIS and MCSR.FEAT = 0, this bit clears itself after one tCLK, which requires the
system to detect start of frame via the SOFN device pin.
This bit also serves as the SOF interrupt flag. This interrupt is only asserted in hard-
ware if the SOF interrupt is enabled (SOFIE set) and the interrupt channel is enabled.
5SOFIESOF Interr upt Enable. When set, setting the ASOF bit causes an interrupt request to
be generated if the interrupt channel is enabled. Hardware reads this bit but does not
write to it.
4 FTLOCK Frame Timer Lock (Read Only). When set, this bit signifies that the frame timer is
presently locked to the USB bus frame time. When cleared, this bit indicates that the
frame timer is attempting to synchronize the frame time.
3SOFODISSOF Pin Output Disable. When set, no low pulse is driven to the SOF pin in
response to setting the ASOF bit. The SOF pin is driven to 1 when SOFODIS is set.
When this bit is clear, setting the ASOF bit causes the SOF pin to be toggled with a
low pulse for eight tCLK periods.

with a STALL handshake to a valid OUT token. When this bit is set and RXSETUP is

tokens by a control endpoint. This bit is set by the hardware if the data phase of the

more than 0 data bytes.
6TXSTLStall Transmit Endpoint. When set, this bit stalls the transmit endpoint. Firmware
must clear this bit only after the host has intervened through commands sent down
endpoint 0. When this bit is set and RXSETUP is clear, the transmit endpoint
responds with a STALL handshake to a valid IN token. When this bit is set and
RXSETUP is set, the receive endpoint will NACK.
5CTLEPControl Endpoint. When set, this bit configures the endpoint as a control endpoint.
Only control endpoints are cap able of rece iving SETUP tokens.
4 RXSPM Receive Single-Packet Mode. When set, this bit configures the receive endpoint for
single data packet operation. When enabled, only a single data packet is allowed to
reside in the receive FIFO.
Note: For control endpoints (CTLEP = 1), this bit should be set for single-packet
mode operation as the recommended firmware model. However, it is possible
to have a control endpoint configured in dual-packet mode as long as the firm-
ware handles the endpoint correctly.
3RXIEReceive Input Enable. When set, this bit enables data from the USB to be written
into the receive FIFO. If cleared, the endpoint responds to an OUT token by ignoring
the data and returning a NACK handshake to the host (unless RXSTL is set, in which
case a STALL is returned). This bit does not affect a valid SETUP token.
2 RXEPEN Receive Endpoint Enable. When set, this bit enables the receive endpoint. When
disabled, the endpoint does not respond to a valid OUT or SETUP token. This bit is
hardware read only and has the highest priority among RXIE and RXSTL.
Note: Endpoint 0 is enabled for reception upon RESET.

to assert (if enabled by MCSR.BDFEAT), rather than the standard condition (transmit
data set empty). This only occurs on NAKs caused by TXFIF = 00. This bit must not
be set for isochronous endpoints. When reset to 0 (along with MCSR.FEAT,
MCSR.BDFEAT, and TXSTAT.TXNAKE), the device will behave like revision B.
5TXNAKETransmit NAK Mode Enable. If set, a NAK response to an IN token causes the
TXVOID bit and the corresponding bits in the SBI/SBI1 register to set, causing an
IRQN interrupt (if enabled). This only occurs on NAKs caused by TXFIF = 00. This bit
must not be set for isochronous endpoints. When set this bit also changes the
meaning and usage of the TXSTAT.TXVOID bit. When reset to 0 (along with
MCSR.FEAT, MCSR.BDFEAT, and TXSTAT.TXDSAM), the device will behave like
revision B.
4TXFLUSHTransmit FIFO Packet Flushed (Read Only). Updated at each SOF. When set, this
bit indicates that hardware flushed a stale isochronous data packet from the transmit
FIFO at SOF.
Behavior when MCSR.FEAT = 0:
To guard against a missed IN token in isochronous mode, if, with TXFIF[1:0] = 11,
no IN token is received for the current endpoint, hardware automatically flushes
the oldest packet and decrements the TXFIF[1:0] value. This flush does not occur
if there is only one data set present (TXFIF = 01/10).
Behavior when MCSR.FEAT = 1:
A firmware data set write causes a TXFIF bit to set. For isochronous endpoints,
this data set does not become visible to the host until the next SOF. The data set is
intended to be read out during that frame. If that read does not occur (possibly due
to a lost IN packet), that data set is flushed at the next SOF, setting TXFLUSH. If
firmware writes two data sets during a single frame (TXFIF must have equalled 00
at the start of that frame), the first, older data set written is flushed at the subse-
quent SOF, setting TXFLUSH.

the TXSEQ bit to be overwritten. Writing a 0 to this bit has no effect on TXSEQ. This
bit always returns 0 when read.
2TXVOID
Transmit Void.†
Behavior when TXNAKE = 0:
This bit is read only if TXNAKE = 0. Indicates a void condition has occurred in
response to a valid IN token. Transmit void is closely associated with the NACK/
STALL handshake returned by the function after a valid IN token. This void condi-
tion occurs when the endpoint output is disabled (TXOE = 0) or stalled (TXSTL =
1), the corresponding receive FIFO contains a setup packet (RXSETUP = 1), the
FIFO contains no valid data sets (TXFIF = 00), or there is an existing FIFO error
(TXURF = 1 or TXOVF = 1).
This bit is used to check any NACK/STALL handshake returned by the function.
This bit does not affect the FTXDx, TXERR, or TXACK bits. This bit is updated by
hardware at the end of a nonisochronous transaction in response to a valid IN
token. For isochronous transactions, this bit is not updated until the next SOF. This
bit is not updated at SOF if TXFLUSH is performed.
Behavior when TXNAKE = 1:
When TXNAKE = 1, this bit becomes writable by firmware. The meaning of the bit
is also changed, to indicate only that a NAK was sent to the host in response to an
IN when TXFIF = 00. Hardware setting of this bit always takes priority over firm-
ware writes. Hardware setting of this bit also causes the corresponding SBI/SBI1
bit to set, possibly causing an interrupt. That setting will persist until TXVOID is
clear ed by firmware.
1TXERRTransmit Error (Read Only). Indicates an error condition has occurred with the
transmission. Complete or partial data has been transmitted. The error can be one of
the following:
1. Data transmit ted su cc es sf ull y but no hand sh ake rec eiv ed .
2. Tr an sm it FI FO goes into under ru n cond ition whil e tra ns mit tin g.
These conditions also cause the corresponding transmit done bit, FTXDx in SBI or
SBI1, to be set. For nonisochronous transactions, TXERR is updated by hardware
along with the TXACK bit at the end of data transmission. TEXERR and TXACK are
updated at the same time—one bit is set to 1, and the other is reset to 0. For isochro-
nous transactions, TXERR is not updated until the next SOF. This bit is not updated at
SOF if TXFLUSH is performed.
0 TXACK Transmit Acknowledge (Read Only). Indicate s data transm iss io n comple ted and
acknowledged successfully. This condition also causes the corresponding transmit
done bit, FTXDx in SBI or SBI1, to be set. For nonisochronous transactions, TXACK
is updated by hardware along with the TXERR bit at the end of data transmission.
TEXERR and TXACK are updated at the same time—one bit is set to 1, and the other
is reset to 0. For isochronous transactions, TXACK is not updated until the next SOF.
This bit is not updated at SOF if TXFLUSH is performed.

7 RXSEQ Receiver Endpoint Sequence Bit (Read, Conditional Write).* This bit is toggled on
completion of an ACK handshake in response to an OUT token. This bit is set (or
cleared) by hardware after reception of a SETUP token.
If the RXSOVW bit is set, this bit can be written by firmware when written along with the
new RXSEQ value.
Note: Always verify this bit after writing to ensure that there is no conflict with hardware,
which may occur if a new SETUP token is received.
6 RXSETUP Received SETUP Token. This bit is set by hardware when a valid SETUP token has
been received. When set, this bit causes received IN or OUT tokens to be NACKed until
the bit is cleared to allow proper data management for the transmit and receive FIFOs
from the previous transaction.
IN or OUT tokens are NACKed even if the endpoint is stalled (RXSTL or TXSTL) to allow
a control transaction to clear a stalled endpoint.
Firmware must clear this bit after it has finished reading out the SETUP packet and is
prepared for the next stage of the control transaction (data or status). For a stalled con-
trol endpoint, this bit should not be cleared until the RXSTL/TXSTL bits have been
cleared.
5STOVWStart Overwrite Flag (Read Only). This bit is set by hardware upon receipt of a SETUP
token for any control endpoint to indicate that the receive FIFO is being overwritten with
new SETUP data. When set, the FIFO state (RXFIF and read pointer) resets and is
locked fo r th is endpoi nt until EDO VW is set. This pr event s a prior, ongoin g firmwar e rea d
from corrupting the read pointer as the receive FIFO is being cleared and new data is
being written into it. This bit is cleared by hardware at the end of handshake phase
transmission of the SETUP stage.
This bit is used only for control end points.
4EDOVWEnd Overwrite Flag. This flag is set by hardware during the handshake phase of a
SETUP stage. It is set after every SETUP packet is received and must be cleared prior
to reading the contents of the FIFO. When set, the FIFO state (RXFIF and read pointer)
remains locked for this endpoint until this bit is cleared. This prevents a prior, ongoing
firmware read from corrupting the read pointer after the new data has been written into
the receive FIFO.
This bit is used only for control end points.
3RXSOVWReceive Data Sequence Overwrite Bit.* Writing a 1 to this bit allows the value of the
RXSEQ bit to be overwritten. Writing a 0 to this bit has no effect on RXSEQ. This bit
always returns 0 when read.

2RXVOIDReceive Void (Read Only). Indicates a void condition has occurred in response to a
valid OUT token. Receive void is closely associated with the NACK/STALL handshake
returned by the function after a valid OUT token. This void condition occurs when the
endpoint input is disabled (RXIE = 0) or stalled (RXSTL = 1), the FIFO contains a setup
packet (RXSETUP = 1), the FIFO has no available data sets (RXFIF = 11, or RXFIF =
01/10 and RXSPM = 1), or there is an existing FIFO error (RXURF = 1 or RXOVF = 1).
This bit is set and cleared by hardware. For nonisochronous transactions, this bit is
updated by hardware at the end of the transaction in response to a valid OUT token. For
isochronous transactions, it is not updated until the next SOF.
1RXERRReceive Error (Read Only). Set when an error condition has occurred with the recep-
tion of a SETUP or OUT transaction. Complete or partial data has been written into the
receive FIFO. No handshake is returned. The error can be one of the following:
1. Data failed CRC check.
2. Bit stuffing error.
3. A receive FIFO goes into overrun or underrun condition while receiving.
This bit is updated by hardware at the end of a valid SETUP or OUT token transaction
(nonisochronous) or at the next SOF on each valid OUT token transaction (isochro-
nous).
These conditions also cause the corresponding FRXDx bit of SBI or SBI1 to be set.
RXERR is updated with the RXACK bit at the end of data reception. RXERR and
RXACK are updated at the same time—one bit is set to 1, and the other is reset to 0.
0RXACKReceive Acknowledge (Read Only). This bit is set when an ACK handshake is sent in
response to data being written to the receive FIFO. This read-only bit is updated by
hardware at the end of a valid SETUP or OUT token transaction (nonisochronous) or at
the next SOF on each valid OUT token transaction (isochronous).
This condition also causes the corresponding FRXDx bit of SBI or SBI1 to be set.
RXACK is updated with the RXERR bit at the end of data reception. RXERR and
RXACK are updated at the same time—one bit is set to 1, and the other is reset to 0.

SIE can reread the last set for retransmission. Hardware clears this bit after the read
pointer is reversed. This bit is effective only when the ADVRM, ATM, and TXCLR bits are
all clear.

The TXFIF bits are set in sequence after each write to TXCNT to reflect the addition of a

the read marker to indicate that the set is effectively discarded. The bit is cleared whether
the read marker is advanced by firmware (setting ADVRM) or automatically by hardware
(ATM = 1). The next-state table for the TXFIF bits is shown below:
TXFIF[1: 0] Operation Next TXFIF [1: 0]

01 Advance Read Marker 00
11 Advance Read Marker 10/01
10 Advance Read Marker 00
XX Reverse Read Pointer Unchanged
In isochronous mode, TXOVF, TXURF, and TXFIF are handled using the following rule:
firmware events cause status change immediately , while USB events cause status change
only at SOF. TXFIF is incremented by firmware and decremented by the USB. Therefore,
writ es to TXCNT increment TXFIF immediately. However, a successful USB transaction
any time within a frame decrements TXFIF only at SOF.
The TXFIF flags must be checked before and after writes to the transmit FIFO and TXCNT
for traceability. See the TXFLUSH bit in TXSTAT.
If MCSR.FEAT = 0:
TXFIF bits are immediately vi sible to the host aft er a firmware write—the device will
send the indicated data set(s) to the host in response to an IN.

7:6 TXFIF[1:0] Transmit FIFO Index Flags (Read Only) (continued).
If MCSR.FEAT = 1:
TXFIF bits are not visible to the host until the first SOF is written, which occurs after the
data set. Prior to that SOF, the device will return a zero-length data set in response to
an IN (unless there is another , older dat a set present from the prior frame). This ensures
that a given data set may only be sent during the subsequent frame, as required by the
USB specification. This behavior also allows firmware to occasionally be late in writing a
data set (write complete after SOF), without losing frame/data synchronization with the
host. The late data set write will cause a zero-length data set to be sent to the host
during the intended frame. The late set will be flushed at the end of the next frame,
assuming firmware also writes the correct data set during that frame (see
TXSTAT.TXFLUSH description). Firmware must not be late on consecutive frames (this
will cause a loss of frame/data synchronization with the host), data sets may be sent
during the wrong frame.
Note: Firmware can enforce single-packet mode by only writing a new data set to the
transmit FIFO if there are currently no data sets present in the FIFO (TXFIF = 00).
To simplify firmware development, configure control endpoints in single-packet
mode.
5:4 — Reserved. Write 0s to these bits. Reads always return 0s.
3TXEMPTransmit FIFO Empty Flag (Read Only). Hardware sets this bit when firmware has not
yet written any data bytes to the current FIFO data set being written. Hardware clears this
bit when the empty condition no longer exists.
This bit always tracks the current transmit FIFO status regardless of isochronous or
nonisochronous mode.
2TXFULLTransmit FIFO Full Flag (Read Only). Hardware sets this bit when the number of bytes
that firmware writes to the current transmit FIFO data set equals the FIFO size. Hardware
clears this bit when the full condition no longer exists.
This bit always tracks the current transmit FIFO status regardless of isochronous or
nonisochronous mode. Check this bit to avoid causing a TXOVF condition.
1 TXURF Trans mit FIFO Underrun Flag (Read, Clear Only). Hardware sets this flag when a read
is attempted from an empty transmit FIFO. (This is caused when the value written to
TXCNT is greater than the number of bytes written to TXDAT.) This bit must be cleared by
firmware through TXCLR. When this flag is set, the FIFO is in an unknown state; therefore,
it is recommended that the FIFO is reset in the error management routine using the
TXCLR bit in TXCON.
When the transmit FIFO underruns, the read pointer does not advance; it remains locked
in the empty position.
When this bit is set, all transmissions are NACKed.
In isochronous mode, TXOVF, TXURF, and TXFIF are handled using the following rule:
firmware events cause status change immediately , while USB events cause status change
only at SOF. Since underrun can only be caused by USB, TXURF is updated at the next
SOF regardless of where the underrun occurs in the frame.

thus, it is recommended that the FIFO is reset in the error management routine using the

to the origin of the next data set. Advancing the write marker is used for back-to-back
receptions. Hardware clears this bit after the write marker is advanced. Setting this bit is
effective only when the REVWP, ARM, and RXCLR bits are clear.
0REVWPReverse Write Pointer (Non-ARM Mode Only).* When set, the write pointer is returned
to the origin of the last data set received, as identified by the write marker. The SIE can
then reread the last data packet and write to the receive FIFO starting from the same origin
when the host resends the same data packet. Hardware clears this bit after the write
pointer is reversed. Setting this bit is effective only when the ADVWM, ARM, and RXCLR
bits are clear.
REVWP is used when a data packet is bad. When the function interface receives the data
packet again, the write starts at the origin of the previous (bad) data set.
* ARM mode is recommended for normal operation. ADVWM and REVWP, which control the write marker and write pointer when ARM = 0, are
used for test purposes.

The RXFIF bits are updated after each write to RXCNT to reflect the addition of a data

When the receive FIFO is programmed to operate in single-packet mode (RXSPM set in
EPCON), valid RXFIF states are 00 and 01 only.
In isochronous mode, RXOVF, RXURF, and RXFIF are handled using the following rule:
firmware events cause status change immediately, while USB events cause status
change only at SOF. RXFIF is incremented by the USB and decremented by firmware.
Therefore, setting RXFFRC decrements RFIF immediately. However, a successful USB
transaction within a frame increments RXFIF only at SOF.
If MCSR.FEAT = 1:
An old data set is flushed from an isochronous FIFO if it is not read out by firmware
during the intended frame (see RXFLG.RXFLUSH description). This flush occurs at
SOF, sets RXFLG.RXFLUSH, and causes RXFIF to decrement without firmware inter-
vention.

7:6 RXFIF[1:0] Receive FIFO Index Flags (Read Only) (continued).
For traceability , the RXFIF flags must be checked before and after reads from the receive
FIFO and the setting of RXFFRC in RXCON.
Note: To simplify firmware development, it is recommended that control endpoints are
used in singl e-pack et mode onl y.
5—Reserved. Write 0s to these bits. Reads always return 0s.
4 RXFLUSH Receive FIFO Flush (Read Only). Only available if MCSR.FEAT = 1. Updated at every
SOF, and only used for isochronous endpoints. RXFIF bits are set when valid data sets
are received from the host. For isochronous endpoints, this RXFIF increment does not
occur until the next SOF. During that subsequent frame, it is the responsibility of firmware
to read out the data set. If that read is not completed (RXFFRC set by firmware) by the
time the next SOF is received, that data set is flushed from the receive FIFO—RXFIF is
decremented by hardware. This flush is indicated by hardware by setting the RXFLUSH
bit. While this bit is set, the affect of firmware receive FIFO data (RXDAT) reads is
blocked, in order to stop potential corruption of a new data set. Before firmware sets
RXFFRC (for isochronous endpoints only), it must first check RXFLUSH. If RXFLUSH is
set, firmware must discard the data set which it just read, because it is potentially
corrupted. This situation should only occur if firmware is late in reading out a data set
(read not completed before SOF). Firmware must not be late on consecutive frames—
this will cause a loss of frame/data synchronization with the host—data sets may be
visible to firmware during the wrong frame. Firmware must always set RXFFRC at the
end of a data set read, even if RXFLUSH = 1. RXFLUSH is reset to 0 by the setting of
RXFFRC to 1.
3RXEMPReceive FIFO Empty Flag (Read Only). Hardware sets this flag when there are no data
bytes present in the data set currently being read. Hardware clears the bit when the
empty condition no longer exists. This bit always tracks the current status of the receive
FIFO, regardless of isochronous or nonisochronous mode.
2RXFULLReceive FIFO Full Flag (Read Only). Hardware sets this flag when the data set
currently being read contains the same number of data bytes as the size of the FIFO.
Hardware clears the bit when the full condition no longer exists. This bit always tracks
the current status of the receive FIFO regardless of isochronous or nonisochronous
mode.
1 RXURF Receive FIFO Underrun Flag (Read, Clear Only). Hardware sets this bit when an addi-
tional byte is read from an empty receive FIFO or when RXCNTH or RXCNTL is read
while RXFIF[1:0] = 00. Hardware does not clear this bit, so it must be cleared by firm-
ware through RXCLR. When the receive FIFO underruns, the read pointer does not
advance. It remains locked in the empty position.
When this bit is set, all transmissions are NACKed.
In isochronous mode, RXOVF, RXURF, and RXFIF are handled using the following rule:
firmware events cause status change immediately, while USB events cause status
change only at SOF. Since underrun can only be caused by firmware, RXURF is updated
immediately. The RXURF flag must be checked after reads from the receive FIFO before
setting the RXFFRC bit in RXCON.
Note:When this bit is set, the FIFO is in an unknown state. It is recommended that the
FIFO is reset in the error management routine using the RXCLR bit in the RXCON
register.

additional byte to a full receive FIFO or writes a byte count to RXCNT with RXFIF[1:0] =

hardware if a SETUP packet is received after an RXOVF error has already occurred.
When this bit is set, all transmissions are NACKed.
In isochronous mode, RXOVF, RXURF, and RXFIF are handled using the following rule:
firmware events cause status change immediately, while USB events cause status
change only at SOF. Since overrrun can only be caused by the USB, RXOVF is updated
only at the next SOF regardless of where the overrun occurred during the current frame.
Note: When this bit is set, the FIFO is in an unknown state. It is recommended that the
FIFO is reset in the error management routine using the RXCLR bit in the RXCON
register. When the receive FIFO overruns, the write pointer does not advance. It
remains locked in the full position.

7IRQPOLIRQ Polarity. Determines the polarity of the IRQN output. When asserted, the IRQN output is
active-high (default is active-low). Firmware must be careful to ensure that setting this bit does
not cause a false interrupt to be detected and processed.

5 IE_SUSP Enable SUSPEND Interrupt. When set, the SUSPEND interrupt is enabled.
4IE_RESETEnable RESET Interrupt. When set, the RESET interrupt is enabled.
3SRESETSoftware RESET. Setting this bit to 1 in software places the USS-820D in the RESET state.
This is equivalent to asserting the hardware RESET pin, except that this feature is not available
if the device is suspended. Setting this bit back to 0 leaves the USS-820D in an unconfigured
state that follows a hardware RESET.
If MCSR.FEAT = 1, SSR.SU PPO = 0 and MCSR.SUSPLOE = 0:
This bit may also be set to 1 while the device is suspended. The effect of this write is to
wake up the device as if a remote wake-up had been performed, with the following excep-
tions: 1) RESUME signaling is not transmitted to the host, 2) The feature is enabled regard-
less of the SCR.RWUPE setting, and 3) The MCSR.RWUPR register bit does not set. The
actual setting of the SCR.SRESET register bit does not occur until the device is resumed
and internal clocks are enabled, but the wake-up is initiated immediately. Once the wake-up
is complete, the SRESET bit sets, and the behavior is the same as if SRESET had been set
while the device was awake. Since the host will still expect the device to be suspended, this
feature should not be used with bus-powered devices, since the device will exceed the
SUSPEND power requirement.
2IRQLVLInte rrup t Mode . Level mode interrupt is selected when this bit is cleared. Pulse mode interrupt
is selected when this bit is set. In pulse mode, IRQ signal is driven (high or low, depending on
the IRQPOL setting) by USS-820D for two tCLK periods.
1T_IRQGlobal Interrupt Enable. When this bit is set, it enables hardware interrupt to be generated on
IRQ pin when any of TX/RX bits, ASOF bit, RESET bit, or SUSPEND bit is set.

This bit is for test purposes and should not be set during normal system operation.
2RESUMERESUME Detected. For a complete description of the use of this bit, see the SUSPEND and
RESUME Behavior section of this document. When set, the USS-820D has detected and
responded to a wake-up condition, either global or remote. A global RESUME is indicated
when the host asserts a non-IDLE state on the USB bus. A remote wake-up is indicated when
the device asserts the RWUPN input pin (if that feature is enabled by the RWUPE bit). This bit
should be reset by firmware as soon as possible after resuming to allow the next SUSPEND
event to be detected.
1 SUSPEND SUSPEND Detected (Read Only)/SUSPEND Control (Write Only). For a complete descrip-
tion of the use of this bit, see the SUSPEND and RESUME Behavior section of this document.
This bit serves as both a read-only status bit and a write-only control bit. For this reason, firm-
ware cannot do a simple read/modify/write sequence to update this register. Firmware must
always explicitly specify the correct value of this SUSPEND control bit when writing SSR. The
read-only status bit is set by hardware when a SUSPEND condition is detected on the USB
bus, and clears itself after the SUSPEND condition ceases and the device resumes. The bit
will remain set during device wake-up. The value of this read-only bit is not affected by firm-
ware writes. The write-only control bit is only updated by firmware, and is used to suspend the
device by setting the bit to 1, and then setting the bit to 0. This write sequence will cause the
device to SUSPEND regardless of the initial value of the bit, which cannot be read.
0 RESET USB RESET Detected. When set, a RESET condition is detected on the USB bus. If interrupt
is enabled (T_IRQ and IE_RESET set), an interrupt is generated to the controller. Firmware
clears this bit.

Interrupts
Figure 7 describes the device interrupt logic. Each of the indicated USB events are logged in a status register bit.
Each status bit has a corresponding enable bit that allows the event to cause an interrupt. Interrupts can be
masked globally by the T_IRQ bit of the SCR register. The active level and signaling mode (level vs. pulse) of the
IRQN output pin can be controlled by the IRQPOL and IRQLVL bits of the SCR register. All interrupts have equal
priority—firmware establishes its own priority by the order in which it checks these status bits during interrupt
processing.

Firmware Responsibilities for USB SETUP Commands
All SETUP commands are passed through from the USB host to the corresponding receive FIFO (assuming no
data transfer errors). Firmware must interpret and execute each command according to its USB definition.
Reception of a new SETUP command can be identified by the RXSETUP bit being set when a receive interrupt is
generated. Any old data in the receive FIFO is overwritten by a new SETUP command. The STOVW register bit is
set by hardware when a new SETUP packet is detected. When the complete SETUP packet has been written,
hardware resets the STOVW bit and sets the EDOVW bit. If either the STOVW or EDOVW bit is set, the effect of
any firmware actions on the FIFO pointers is blocked. This prevents the FIFO from underflowing as a result of firm-
ware attempting to read the FIFO while hardware is writing a new setup packet. Firmware must reset the EDOVW
bit, read the SETUP command from the FIFO, and then check the STOVW and EDOVW bits. If either is set, the
SETUP that was just read out is old and should be discarded. Firmware must then proceed with reading the new
SETUP command.
Firmware responsibilities for interpreting and executing USB standard commands are defined in Table 39.
Table 39. Firmware Responsibilities for USB SETUP Commands
USB Command Firmware Responsibility
GET_STATUS For device status, firmware should write two data bytes to transmit FIFO 0, where bit
0 of byte 0 indicates if the device is self-powered, and bit 1 indicates if the remote
wake-up feature is supported (which should equal the value stored in the RWUPE
register bit).
For interface status, firmware should write two data bytes of zeros.
For endpoint status, firmware should write two data bytes to transmit FIFO 0, where
bit 0 of byte 0 is the RXSTL or TXSTL bit of the endpoint indicated by the SETUP
command.
SET/C LEAR_F E ATURE For the DEV ICE _REMO T E_ WAKEUP feature, firmware sh oul d SET/RE S ET the
RWUPE register bit.
For the ENDPOINT_STALL feature, firmware should set/clear the RXSTL or TXSTL
register bit indicated by the SETUP command. Firmware must also handle all side
effects of these commands as documented in the USB specification, such as zeroing
an endpoint’s data toggle bit on CLEAR_FEATURE[stall].
SET_ADDRESS Firmware should write the FADDR register with the device address indicated by the
SETUP command. This write must not occur until after the status stage of the control
transfer has completed successf ully.
GET_CONFIGURATION,
SET_CONFIGURATION,
GET_INTERFACE,
SET_INTERFACE
Firmware must maintain all information regarding which endpoints, interfaces, alter-
nate settings, and configurations are supported and/or currently enabled. The
enabled status of a particular endpoint direction, as specified by the current configura-
tion, interface, and alternate setting, must be indicated in the corresponding RXEPEN
or TXEPEN register bit. Firmware must also handle any side effects of these
commands as documented in the USB specification, such as zeroing an endpoint’s
stall and data toggle bits on SET_INTERFACE or SET_CONFIGURATION.
GET_DESCRIPTOR,
SET_DESCRIPTOR Firmware must maintain all information regarding all types of descriptors and write the
appropriate descriptor information to transmit FIFO 0 upon receiving
GET_DESCRIPTOR, or read the appropriate descriptor information from receive
FIFO 0 upon receiving SET_DESCRIPTOR.

USB Device Controller
Firmware Responsibilities for USB
SETUP Commands (continued)
Firmware must keep track of the direction of data flow
during a control transfer, and detect the start of the
status stage by a change in that direction. For control
OUT transfers, the status stage will be an IN, and the
firmware should write a zero-byte data packet to the
transmit FIFO, assuming the command completed
successfully. For control IN transfers, the status stage
will be an OUT, and the firmware should read the data
packet and set the RXFFRC register bit (like any other
OUT transfer), again assuming the command
completed successfully. This will cause an ACK to be
sent to the host, indicating a successful completion.
Firmware should stall endpoint 0 if it receives a stan-
dard command that does not match any of the defined
commands or a valid command that contains a param-
eter with a bad value (e.g., GET_STATUS[Endpoint x]
when endpoint x is not enabled). Firmware should also
stall if the data stage of a control transaction attempts
to transfer more bytes than were indicated by the
SETUP sta ge.
Firmware must interpret any vendor or class
commands as defined by the application.
Other Firmware Responsibilities
Frame Timer Behavior
The USS-820D contains an internal frame timer that
allows the device to lock to the USB host frame timer,
and to synthesize lost SOF packets, as required by the
USB specification. The frame timer requires three valid
SOF packets from the host in order to lock to the host
frame timer. This locked status is indicated by the
FTLOCK status bit in SOFH. In order to achieve this
lock, the interval between each SOF must be within
45 clocks of the nominal 12,000 clocks, and the
successive intervals must be within two clocks of each
other . Both of these conditions will be true in a correctly
functioning system with no bus errors. While the frame
timer is locked, it will synthesize SOFs by setting
ASOF, generating an SOF interrupt (if SOFIE = 1), and
asserting the SOFN pin (if SOFODIS = 0) for up to
three consecutive frames if SOF packets are no longer
received from the host. The frame timer will become
unlocked under any of the following conditions:
■Hard or soft RESET.
■USB RESET.
■The device goes suspended.
■No SOF packets are received from the host for three
frames.
■An SOF is received that violates the USB specifica-

SUSPEND and RESUME Behavior
In the following sections describing SUSPEND and
RESUME behavior, the following terminology is used:
■Device—The entire product that contains the USS-
820D, such as a modem or printer.
■Application—All electronic components of the device
other than the USS-820D, such as a microcontroller,
RAM, power control logic, RESET logic, or crystal.
■Firmware—Code running on the microcontroller
which is part of the application.
■Controller—That intelligent part of the application
which uses the USS-820D address, data and read/
write pins to access its internal registers.
■Powered-off components—Those parts of the appli-
cation which are connected to the USS-820D and
powered off during SUSPEND, for example, a micro-
controller or RAM.
■Hardware—Logic inside the USS-820D.
Table 40. Other Firmware Responsibilities
USB Event Firmware Responsibility
USB
RESET USB RESET can be detected by
reading a 1 from the RESET bit of the
SSR register. If the USB interrupt is
enabled (IE_RESET), this will be indi-
cated by the IRQN output. At that time,
firmware must reset any information it
maintains regarding endpoints, inter-
faces, alternate settings, and configura-
tions. All R XEPEN and TXEPEN
endpoints should be set to 0, except for
endpoint 0, which should be set to 1.
The function address register FADDR
should be set to 0. The data toggle bits
for all endpoints should be set to 0 as
well. If MCSR.FEAT = 1, FADDR is
automatically cleared to 0 when USB
RESET is detec ted.

USS-820D
SUSPEND and RESUME Behavior
(continued)
During a SUSPEND/RESUME sequence, the following
sequence of events occ urs :
1. Hardware SUSPEND Detect: The USS-820D
detects a SUSPEND request from the host on USB
and notifies firmware.
2. Firmware SUSPEND Initiate: Firmware react s to the
pending SUSPEND request and suspends the
device.
3. Hardware RESUME Detect/Initiate: Some time later
a RESUME is initiated, either by the host or the
application.
4. Hardware RESUME Sequence: When the
RESUME is complete, the USS-820D notifies firm-
ware.
5. Firmware RESUME Sequence: Firmware reacts to
the RESUME and completes any required actions.
The following sections de scribe each of these steps in
more detail.
Hardware SUSPEND Detect
The USS-820D detects a USB SUSPEND condition if a
J state persists on the bus for at least 3 ms. When this
SUSPEND condition is detected, hardware sets the
SSR.SUSPEND register status bit and, if IE_SUSP = 1,
causes an interrupt.
SUSPEND detection may be block ed by firmware by
setting the SSR.SUSPDIS register bit to 1.
SSR.SUSPDIS s hould only be set for test purposes,
never in a running system.
Firmware SUSPEND Initiate
When firmware detects that a SUSPEND request from
the host has been detected, it must prepare itself, and
any other application components for which it is
responsible, for SUSPEND mode. For bus-powered
devices, this will normally require turning off power to
application components or placing them in low-power
mode. When firmware is finished preparing for a device
SUSPEND, it should check the SSR.SUSPEND
register status bit once more. If this status bit has
RESET, firmware should abort the SUSPEND
sequence, since the host has already awakened the
device. This will only happen if firmware is too slow in
responding to the SUSPEND detect. If the status bit is
still SET, firmware should proceed with the SUSPEND
sequence. This second check of the status bit guaran-
tees that the device will see wake-up signaling of suffi-
cient length from the host.
To SU SPEND the USS-820D, firmware must set the
SSR.SUSPEND register control bit to 1, and then reset
the bit to 0. This action causes to the USS-820D to
immediately enter SUSPEND mode.
In order to guarantee correct behavior when resuming,
firmware must not attempt any register reads until at
least three tRDREC periods have elapsed since reset-
ting the SSR.SUSPEND register control bit.
Since firmware must have the PEND register bit set
when modifying the SSR.SUSPEND register bit, and
since registers cannot be written whi le the USS-820D is
suspended, firmware must remember to reset th e
PEND register bit after the USS-820D resumes.
Since the SSR.SUSPEND register status bit will remain
SET while the USS-820D is suspended, a pending
SUSPEND interrupt will remain until the USS-820D
resumes. For this reason, firmware may wish to reset
the SCR.IE_SUSP bit before suspending the USS-
820D.
In order to meet the USB specif ication’s current draw
limit for suspended devices, the USS-820 D must turn
off its internal clocks. This occurs when the
SSR.SUSPEND register control bit is reset by firmware
as described abov e and is indicated by the USS-820D
SUSPN output pin being asserted. While in SUSPEND
mode, the USS-820D must remain powered, but the
USS-820D’s power consumption will be reduced to
almost zero and will remain in thi s state until a wake-up
is signaled.
Self-powered devices will most likely not need to turn
off power to other application components during
SUSPEND. This is indicated to th e USS-820D by the
SSR.SUSPPO register bit = 0, which should be written
by firmware at device initiali zation time. In such an envi-
ronment, during SUSPEND, the USS-820D outputs
and inputs continue to be driven by the USS-820D and
the application, respectively . In addition, the USS-820D
bidirectional pins are tristated in the USS-820D and
driven to 0 or 1 by the application.
Bus-powered devices will most likely need to turn off
power to other application components during
SUSPEND. This is indicated to th e USS-820D by the
SSR.SUSPPO register bit = 1, which should be written
by firmware at device initialization time. Such de vices
can be implemented so that the USS-820D SUSPN
output pin controls power to other application compo-
nents. Issues which must be considere d by bus-
powered devices are discussed in the Special
SUSPEND Considerations for Bu s-Powered De vices
section.

USS-820D
SUSPEND and RESUME Behavior
(continued)
Firmware SUSPEND Initiate (continued)
While the USS-820D is suspended, its internal regis-
ters may still be read, presumably only in self-powered
devices. The interface timing for such reads is dif ferent
from register reads during operational mode, and is
specifi ed in the R egi ster Timing Characteristic s
section. Register writes must not be attempted while
the USS-820D is suspended, with the possible excep-
tion of the SCR.SRESET bit (see the SCR.SRESET
description for details). Certain register reads during
the nonsuspended state can cause USS-820D device
register states to change. These reads are described in
the Register Reads with Side Effects section. These
register reads must not be attempted while the USS-
820D is suspended.
Hardware RESUME Detec t/Initiate
Wake-up can be initiated by either the host or the appli-
cation. A host-signaled wake-up (global RESUME) is
indicated when the host drives a K state on the USB
bus. A remote wake-up is initiated by the application by
asserting the USS-820D RWUPN input pin. The USS-
820D can also be awakened by firmware writing a 1 to
SCR.SRESET if M CSR.FEAT = 1 (see SCR.SRESET
description for details). In these cases, the USS-820D
will initiate a wake-up sequence as described in the
next section.
Hardware RESUME Sequence
The USS-820D starts a wake-up sequence by asyn-
chronously re-enabling its internal oscillator and PLL
and deasserting the SUSPN output pin. Once the inter-
nally generated clocks are stable (a period of 6 ms to
15 ms), then it enable s cloc ks to the entir e chip and
sets the SSR.RESUME register bit, which causes an
interrupt if SCRA TCH.IE_RESUME register bit = 1. The
USS-820D will require up to 15 ms to resume function-
ality after a wake-up sequence is initiated. If the wake-
up was a remote wake-up, the USS-820D will then
drive wake-up signaling (K) on the USB for 12 ms.
The USS-820D requires a minimum of 7 ms from the
time a remote wake-up is initiated to the time it can
begin transmitting RESUME signaling upstream. This
guarantees adherence to the USB specification for
tWTRSM of 5 ms.
Firmware RESUME Sequence
The USS-820D indicates that the RES UME sequ enc e
is complete by setting the SSR.RESUME register bit,
and possibly causing an interrupt. When firmware is
prepared for the application to return to normal opera-
tion, it must reset the SSR.RESUME register bit to
allow detection of any subsequent SUSPEND events.
Special SUSPEND Considerations for Bus-
Powered Devices
In order to meet the USB current requirements while
suspended, care must be exercised to guarantee that
all board signals connected to the USS-820D are at
their proper state. Voltages on USS-820D input pins
must be guaranteed to be outside the switching
threshold region (i.e., either a valid CMOS logic 1 or 0).
Pins that are connected to external, powered-off
components must not be driven high.
If an external oscillator is used as the clock source for
the USS-820D, it will most likely need to be turned off
by the USS-820D SUSPN output pin in order to meet
the USB SUSPEND current requirement. When the
oscillator is turned back on after a RESUME (when the
SUSPN pin deasserts) and is stabilizing (a period that
must not exceed tOSC as specified in Table 46), its
output clock must not have a frequency greater than
12 MHz. As a result, during this stabilization period, the
oscillator output must not provide more than
84,000 clocks.
The following list describes the expected (or required,
as noted) values on the USS-820D pins for devices
which turn power off to external components during
SUSPEND. Such devices must have SSR.SUSPPO =
1 to cause D[7:0], IRQN, and SOFN to be tristated
during SUSPEND. They must also have
MCSR.BDFEAT = 0 while suspended in order to guar-
antee that USBR and DSA are tristated. These register
settings avoid the possibility of driving a logic 1 into a
powered-off component, which could result in exces-
sive power consumption and possible component
damage.
External logic refers to components external to the
USS-820D.
Note: Board signal s whi ch are conn ec ted to powered -
off compo nent s will most likely be naturally
pulled to logic 0 by the powered-off component.
■A[4:0], IOCSN, RDN, WRN: Input-only pins. Their
value will be determined by external logic, and must
be a logic 0 or 1 to avoid current draw in the USS-
820D.

Special SUSPEND Considerations for Bus-Powered Dev ices (continued)
■D[7:0], SOFN*: Bidirectional pins, forced to input mode while suspended (assuming SSR.SUSPPO = 1). Their
value will be determined by external logic, and must be a logic 0 or 1 to avoid current draw in the USS-820D.

■DPLS, DMNS: Bidirectional pins, in input mode during SUSPEND, driven by USB. Since they are statically
driven to 1 and 0, respectively, there is no current draw in the USS-820D.
■RWUPN: Input-only pin, driven to 1 by (powered) external logic during SUSPEND, unless/until a remote wake-up
is signalled.
■SUSPN: Output-only pin, driven to 0 by USS-820D to indicate SUSPEND.
■XTAL1: Input connection to internal oscillator. If a crystal is used as a clock source, there are no special consid-
erations for this pin. If an external oscillator is used as a clock source, this input must be driven to a stable 1 by
external logic.
■RESET: Driven to 0 during SUSPEND by external logic.
■DPPU: 3-statable output, drives a logic 1 during SUSPEND (assuming MCSR.DPEN = 1). This is required in
case the pin is used to power the external DPLS pull-up resistor, which must remain powered during SUSPEND.
Depending on the device design, the USS-820D register interface signals (RDN, WRN, IOCSN) could have
unknown values immediately after a SUSPEND because external components have been powered off. In this
case, firmware must configure the USS-820D to enable the locking mechanism by setting the MCSR.SUSPLOE
register bit. This mechanism protects the internal registers from being corrupted in this situation. Its behavior is
documented in Special Action Required by USS-820/USS-825 After Suspend Application Note (AP97-058CMPR-
04).
* SOFN is an output-only pin during normal operation. In certain chip test modes, this pin functions as an input.

Application Notes
1. The RESET input must remain asserted for a minimum period of time after power is stable. If internal oscillator
clocking mode is used, this time is tOSC, the amount of time required to allow the internal oscillator output to
become stable. If external oscillator clocking mode is used, this time is tRST. The USS-820D WRN and RWUPN
pins must not both be active (low) at the time that the RESET input is deasserted.
2. After changing the size (RXFFSZ/TXFFSZ), type (isochronous vs. nonisochronous), enabled status (RXEPEN/
TXEPEN) of a FIFO/endpoint or chip feat ures (FEAT, B D FEAT), firmware must guarantee that at least 16 tCLK
period s have elap sed bef ore at tempt ing to access the FI FO data. This is req uired t o allow the inte rnal FIFO RAM
to be reallocated.
3. Register writes are triggered by the rising edge of either WRN or IOCSN, whichever comes first, and are synchro-
nized to the internal 12 MHz clock. Therefore, the actual write may not occur until as much as tCLK ns after that
first rising edge. This latency must be taken into account when performing subsequent register reads or writes.
4. The IR QN and S OFN pins req uir e exter nal pul l-up s o r pull -down s if the exte rnal contr oller will b e pow ered of f dur-
ing SUSPEND. In that situation, those pins will be tristated until the USS-820D has fully resumed. The pull-up or
pull-down is needed to establish the desired level at the controller for the time interval from when the controller is
powered on to the time when the USS-820D has completed the RESUME. The same requirements hold for the
USBR and DSA outputs if they are con nected to devices that will be powered off during SUSPEND.
5. In applications where the external controller is powered off during SUSPEND (firmware has set SSR.SUSPPO),
the SOFN pin must be connected to an external pull-down even if the pin is not functionally required. The pin is
actually bidirectional, where the input mode is only used in chip test modes. The pull-do wn is requ ired to avoid
excessive power consumption by the input stage when the device is suspended.

Power Consider atio ns
The USB specification places current limits on bus-powered devices. The limit is tighter for a device that has not
yet been configured. The tightest limit is for a suspended device.
The current values listed in Table 44 for a preconfigured device assume fairly low activity (about 5%) on USB. The
maximum value for a configured device assumes the device is transmitting 80% of the time on USB. All current
values assume a 35 pF load on the package pins.
The limit for suspended devices can only be met if careful measures are taken to control the interface to the USS-
820D, as documented in the SUSPEND and RESUME Behavior section.

USB Transceiver Connection
The physical connection of the USS-820D to the USB
bus requires only minimal components to provide
proper USB electrical terminations.
Both DPLS and DMNS require 24 Ω ± 1% series resis-
tors for USB impedance matching. Additionally, a
1.5 kΩ pull-up resistor is required on DPLS for full-
speed/low-speed differentiation.

Figure 8. USB Transceiver Connection
Example fo r Bus-Powered
Application
When using the USS-820D in a self-powered device,
there are some additional considerations. The device
must refrain from supplying power through the pull-up
resistor if plugged into an unpowered bus. It must also
ensure that the DPLS and DMNS lines are in an appro-
priate state when the device is powered but not
plugged in. Figure 9 shows an example connection to
meet these requirements.

Oscillator Connection Requirements
The USS-820D requires an internal 48 MHz clock that it creates from an internal 12 MHz clock via a 4X PLL. Two
methods of clock generation may be used to create this internal 12 MHz clock. Figure 10 shows the internal oscil-
lator mode which requires only an external 12 MHz crystal and bias capacitors. The values of the capacitors should
be chosen as indicated by the crystal manufacturer in order to cause the crystal to operate in a parallel resonant
condition. A typical value is 15 pF, but the required value may differ, depending on the specific crystal and board
characteristics of the application.
Alternatively, Figure 11 shows the configuration required to input a 12 MHz clock from an external oscillator. In
either configuration, the external clock source must have the characteristics defined in Table 46.

USS-820D
Appendix C. Changes from USS-820/
USS-825 Revision B to C
Note: For Revision C, the USS-825B has been
renamed USS-820TC.
1. Hardware revision register (REV) changed from
1.0 to 1.1.
2. From the USB system and firmware points of view,
the USS-820C will appear functionally equivalent
to the USS-820B if a 1 is never written by firmware
to MCSR[3:2] or TXSTAT[6:5] (all previously
marked as reserved). The single exception is the
REV register as described above.
3. New register bits (FEAT, BDFEAT) are added to
enable new features. BDFEAT enables those fea-
tures which could impact existing boards. This
could only be an issue if NC pins were used as
connection points for other board signals. FEAT
enables all other features as indicated. FEAT is
MCSR[3]; BDFEAT is MCSR[2].
4. New FIFO status bits (RXA V/TXAV), one per FIFO,
added to indicate receive data set(s) available
(RXFIF > 00) or empty transmit data set(s) avail-
able (TXFIF < 11). If TXDSAM = 1, transmit FIFO
status bits are SET if the device sends a NAK in
response to an IN packet when TXFIF = 00. The
16 register bits are formatted into two new regis-
ters (DSAV = address 1D, DSAV1 = address 1E) in
the same format as SBI/SBI1. These new read-
only bits can allow firmware to operate more effi-
ciently, because their use requires less polling
overhead. Register bits always read 0 unless FEA T
= 1 or TXDSAM = 1.
5. A logical OR of new FIFO status bits (RXAV/TXAV)
is brought out to a package pin (DSA). Package
pin is always tristated if BDFEAT = 0. Uses pin 15
in the 44-pin package.
6. New nonisochronous transmit mode. If enabled (by
new register bit TXNAKE = TXSTAT[5]), when the
USS-820C responds to an IN token with a NAK
because of no data sets being present (TXFIF =
00), an interrupt is generated, setting the appropri-
ate SBI/SBI1 bit. New register bit TXDSAM
(TXSTAT[6]) allows this condition to SET the new
DSAV register bit and assert the new DSA output
pin (assuming they are enabled). This mode
changes the meaning of TXVOID to indicate that
such a NAK was sent, and it is the responsibility of
firmware to clear TXVOID. While TXVOID = 1, the
corresponding SBI/SBI1 register bit will remain
SET as well.
7. T ransmit isochronous behavior changed to discard
old data packets at the end of the intended frame if
not read out by a host IN (only enabled if
FEAT = 1). Data sets are not visible to the host
until the first SOF following the data set write. At
the start of a series of transfers, TXFIF will equal
00, which could allow firmware to write two data
sets during that same frame. In that case, the older
set is flushed by hardware at the first SOF.
8. Receive isochronous behavior changed to flush old
data packets at the end of the intended frame if not
read out by firmware (only enabled if FEAT = 1).
This flush decrements RXFIF and sets the
RXFLUSH register bit (RXFLG[4]), which firmware
must check before setting RXFFRC. While
RXFLUSH is SET, the effect of firmware RXDAT
reads (FIFO pointer/flag changes) is blocked, to
avoid possible corruption of a new data set. If firm-
ware detects that RXFLUSH = 1, it must discard
the data set just read, since it is possibly truncated.
Firmware must still SET RXFFRC in this situation,
which resets RXFLUSH to 0.
9. ASOF behavior changed to not automatically
RESET when SOFODIS = 0 if FEAT = 1.
10. For nonisochronous endpoints, FFSZ = 2 indicates
8 bytes, FFSZ = 3 indicates 32 bytes (both are
interpreted as 64 bytes in the USS-820 revision B).
This will potentially allow more efficient usage of
the shared FIFO space. Only enabled if FEAT = 1.
11. USB-RESET-detected condition clears the F ADDR
register (if FEAT = 1). This avoids the potential
case where firmware is too slow in resetting
FADDR after USB RESET such that the host real-
locates the address to some other device and
sends traffic to that device, which is misinterpreted
by the USS-820C as intended for it. No other regis-
ter bits are cleared by USB RESET.
12. US B-RE SE T- det ec ted con di tio n brou ght out to
package pin (USBR), allowing the external control-
ler to clear out a locked up device. Output is
always tristated if BDFEAT = 0. Uses pin 18 of the
44-pin package.
13. Firmware provided means to RESUME and
RESET device if suspended. When suspended, if
SUSPP0 = 0, SUSPLOE = 0, FEA T = 1, a firmware
write of 1 to SCR bit 3 (SRESET) causes a remote
wake-up type of event (without RESUME signal-
ing). After the wake-up, when clocks are turned on,
the SRESET bit will be SET and will take effect
(i.e., the USS-820C will be RESET).

Appendix C. Changes from USS-820/
USS-825 Revision B to C (continued)
14. Remote-wake-up-remember condition is visible as
a register bit (RWUPR). Register bit always reads
a 0 unless FEAT = 1. RWUPR is MCSR[7].
15. Additional/updated electrical characteristics related
to the new 0.25 µm process (power, hysteresis
leakage current) are included.
16. The VDD5V pin is no longer required—may be
treated as no connect.
