4.1. Memory Map

V9821 contains three memory blocks:
- Internal SRAM (IRAM) with 256 bytes in size, sharing the upper 128 bytes of its addresses with
Special Function Registers (SFRs)
- Internal extended RAM (XRAM) with 4 KB in size and the memory of peripherals sharing the data
memory area at addresses 0000h ~ FFFFh
- On-chip Flash memory with 64 KB in size mapping the program memory area at addresses 0000h ~
FFFFh
4.2. IRAM (Internal RAM) and SFRS (Special

Function Registers)
The 256-byte internal SRAM (IRAM), located at addresses 00h ~ FFh, is composed of two parts: The
lower 128-byte RAM and the upper 128-byte RAM. When the output voltage of DVCC is higher than
1.62 V, IRAM will hold the data even if MCU is reset to its default state.
The lower 128-byte internal RAM contains three distinct blocks: Register Bank 0 ~ 3 (00h ~ 1Fh), Bit
Address Area (20h ~ 2Fh) and General RAM Area (30h ~ 7Fh). All the lower 128-byte internal RAM can be
accessed by direct or indirect addressing.
- Register Bank 0 ~ 3, 32 bytes from 00h to 1Fh, each is composed of 8 registers, R0 ~ R7. Users can
configure bit4 (RS1) and bit3 (RS0) of the register “PSW” (SFR 0xD0, Program Status Word SFR) to
select the register bank to be used. By default Register Bank 0 is used.

- Bit Address Area (20h ~ 2Fh), each with bit addresses from 00h to 7Fh, is bit addressable.
- General RAM, from 30h to 7Fh, can be directly addressed.

V9821 Datasheet
The upper 128-byte internal RAM, located at addresses 80h ~ FFh, shares its addresses with a group of
specific internal registers (Special Function Registers, SFRS), but they are accessed in different ways.
SFRs are accessed via the direct addressing, but the upper 128-byte internal RAM is accessed via the
indirect addressing.

4.3. Data Memory

XRAM with 4096 bytes in size and peripherals registers are mapped to the data storage space.
XRAM is located at addresses 0000h ~ 0FFFh that can be accessed without limit. The content of XRAM
cannot be reset by any reset event, and it will hold the data until the output voltage of DVCC is lower than
1.62 V.
Data storage space, except for the contents of XRAM, all of the peripherals registers can be reset,
among them, the LCD, GPIO, Analog control and power metering related registers can only be reset to the
default value of the level 1, other registers will be reset to the default value of the grade 1/2/3. The
contents of the Info area will not be reset; however, after a level 1 reset event, the data needs to be within
the scope of the stable time of 2 ms, that is, after MCU start normal execution program in a Flash.

4.4. Program Memory

In V9821, the 64-KB on-chip Flash memory (Including program encryption bytes) and the Flash control
registers are mapped to the program memory area at addresses 0000h ~ FFFFh. The Flash control
registers, mapped at addresses 0x0401 and 0x0402 of the program memory area, determine the
programming mode and power consumption of the Flash memory.
The third page of the Flash memory, at addresses 0400h ~ 05FFh, is pre-burned with the codes by the
manufacturer. Therefore, this area cannot be used for the user codes.

The 64-KB on-chip Flash memory of V9821 is featured with the write protection, program encryption,
and ISP (In-System Programming) and IAP (In-Application Programming) supported.
The 8052 MCU core of V9821 can address up to 64-KB program memory area, 0000h ~ FFFFh, but the
Flash memory can store up to 64-KB codes. In order to execute the program with more than 64-KB in size,
the code banking technique is used. By using this technique, the program can be divided into no more
than four parts with no more than 64-KB codes each, and is allocated at different parts of the Flash
memory:
- Common Area, at addresses 0000h ~ 7FFFh: To allocate the common codes, such as interrupt
vectors, reset vectors, bank switching routines, interrupt service routines, and so on. It is always
mapped to the program memory area at addresses 0000h ~ 7FFFh.
- Code Area, at addresses 8000h~1FFFFh: To allocate the application codes; Bank 1, at addresses
8000h ~ FFFFh; Bank2, at addresses 10000h ~ 17FFFh; Bank 3, at addresses 18000h ~ 1FFFFh.
Each bank can be mapped to the program memory area at addresses 8000h ~ FFFFh, and the
processor can access the register “CBANK” (SFR 0xA0) to switch the banks and execute the
codes.

In V9821, the on-chip Flash memory is divided into 256 pages with 512 bytes each. The codes in the
Flash memory can be read, erased, or programmed in pages or mass erased.
When the low logic level is input on the pin “MODE1”, the chip will be in the debugging mode. In this
mode, the 4 pins of Group P0 work as JTAG interfaces. Users can use the DLL codes and simulators
provided by Vango to download and debug the applications in Keil μVision IDE or IAR IDE via the JTAG
interfaces.
Notes:
In the debugging mode, the system cannot get to LPM1 state or LPM2 state, and the reset events,
POR/BOR and WDT overflow, are masked. In the sleeping state, a power supply restoration event will
occur immediately when the system goes to the debugging mode.
In the debugging mode, the TCK speed limit is 400 Kbps by default. The command “0x22” can increase it
to the current PLL clock frequency, and the command “0x23” can recover it.
No capacitors should be connected to the JTAG interfaces to avoid the download failure of codes.
There is an encryption bit (bit0 of byte located at address 0x0400) in the Flash memory. The
configuration of this bit has effects on the access to the Flash memory. When the logic high level is input
on the pin “MODE1”, the chip will be in the metering mode. In this mode, the on-chip Flash memory is
IAP-supportive, and the access to the Flash memory will not be affected by the encryption bit
configuration. When the logic high level is input on the pin “MODE1”, the chip will be in the metering mode.
In this mode, the on-chip Flash memory is IAP- supportive and ISP-supportive, and the encryption bit
configuration will affect the access to the Flash memory.

5.Reset
In V9821, all circuits, except for the RTC calibration registers, RTC timing registers, IRAM, XRAM, and
Info area, can be reset to their default states by an event of a specific reset level. Three levels of events
are designed to reset different circuits of the system, including:
 Level 3: The lowest level, debugging reset instruction. When the event of this level occurs, MCU,
interrupt management circuits, timers, UART interfaces, and GPSI interfaces will be reset to their
default states;
 Level 2: The middle level, including power supply restoration (Power up), IO wakeup input, RTC
wakeup event, and CF pulse wakeup event. When an event of this level occurs, Clock Switchover
Control Register (SysCtrl, SFR 0x80), IO Wakeup Control Register (IOWK, SFR 0xC9), IO Wakeup
Edge Control Register (IOEDG, SFR 0xC7), Flash control registers, watch-dog timer, and all the
circuits that can be reset by events of Level 3 will be reset to their default states.
 Level 1: The highest level, including the “RSTn” pin input signal (RSTn pin reset), Power-On Reset
(POR), Brown-Out Reset (BOR), and WDT overflow event. When an event of this level occurs, the LCD
driver, General-Purpose I/O (GPIO) ports, System State Register (Systate, SFR 0xA1), P0 IO Wakeup
Flag Register (IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF), analog control registers, the global energy metering architecture,
and all the circuits that can be reset by events of Level 2 will be reset to their default states.
In V9821, the reset management circuits are designed by following the rule: A reset event of higher
level can reset the circuits that can be reset by the lower level reset events, but not vice versa.
Level 1: Level 2:
All circuits except SFR 0x80/0xC7/

Events of Level 1 Events of Level 2 Events of Level 3
Info Area (0x3000 ~ 0x33FF) X X X
5.1. Level 3
In V9821, only the debugging reset instruction is designed as the reset event of Level 3. It can reset
MCU, interrupt management circuits, timers, UART interfaces and GPSI interfaces.
When logic ‘0’ is input to the pin “MODE1”, the system will enter the debugging mode. In this mode,
when the debugging operation is enabled or the tab “Reset” in IDE is clicked, a debugging reset instruction
will be executed to reset MCU and its peripherals.
5.2. Level 2
In V9821, power supply restoration, IO wake-up input, RTC wake-up event, and CF pulse wakeup event
are designed as the reset events of Level 2.
By default any event of this level can wake up the system from LPM1 state or LPM2 state and reset the
system to the OSC state. But if the bit “IORSTN” (bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) is set to ‘1’, any event of this
level can wake up the system without reset. That is, the event can wake up the system from the sleeping
state but not reset the system to the OSC state. In this case, after the wakeup, MCU keeps on executing
programs; all circuits go back where the system enters the sleeping state, but bit[2:1] (SLEEP1 and
SLEEP0) and bit[6:5] (FWC and FSC) are cleared. When “IORSTN” (bit0 IOWK, SFR 0 xc9) is cleared, the
dormancy awakening events can be reset by level 3 reset circuit, reset events can reset the clock switch
control register (SysCtrl, SFR 0 x80), IO sleep wake up edge selection register (IOEDG, SFR 0 xc7), IO
dormancy awakening control register (IOWK, SFR 0 xc9), FLASH control registers, and WDT. Please refer
to Table 5-1 for the detailed information.
5.2.1. Power Supply Restoration
In V9821, when the voltage on the pin “VDCIN” rises from lower than 1.0 V to higher than 1.1 V, or when
the voltage on the pin “VDCIN” is higher than 1.1 V after any reset event of Level 1, a power supply
restoration event will occur. By default this event wakes up the chip and reset it to the OSC state, and the
reset signal holds 8 OSC clock cycles.
5.2.2. IO Wakeup Input
In V9821, 4 pins, “WAKEUP1 (P1.4), WAKEUP2 (P1.3), WAKEUP3 (P0.2), and WAKEUP4 (P0.3)”, can be

V9821 Datasheet
used to wake up the chip from the LPM1 state or LPM2 state. Pins “WAKEUP1” and “WAKEUP2” can be used
for the wakeup input all the time, but pins “WAKEUP3” and “WAKEUP4” can be used for the wakeup input
only when the bit “IOP0” (bit1 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) is set to ‘1’. The wakeup input on these 4 I/O ports are
independent.
If the 4 I/O ports are set to “Input enabled” before the chip enters the LPM1 state or LPM2 state, a
transition (Either high-to-low or low-to-high, with more than 4 OSC clock cycles on both levels) on the pin
in the LPM1 state or LPM2 state can wake up the system. Users can configure the register “IOEDG” (SFR
0xC7) to determine the active edge for the IO wakeup event. Any IO wakeup event can set the bit “IO”
(bit3 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) to ‘1’. When the bit “IO” is set to ‘1’, users can read bits “IOP14, P02WK, and
P03WK” (bit[0:2] of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF) to detect the transition on which pin wakes up the system.
By default a transition on any one of the 4 I/O ports can wake up the system and reset it to the OSC
state. To lower the power consumption, users can set the bit “IORSTN” (bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) to ‘1’ to
wake up the system without reset.
5.2.3. RTC Wakeup
In V9821, the RTC can wake up the system from the LPM1 state at an interval set at registers “INTRTC
(SFR 0x96) and SECINT (SFR 0xDF)”. When the system is woken up by an RTC event, the bit “RTC/CF”
(bit2 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) will be set to ‘1’, but the bit “CFWK” (bit3 of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF) will be
cleared. Please refer to Figure 5-1 for the detailed information.
By default the RTC wakeup event can wake up the system from the LPM1 state and reset it to the OSC
state. The reset signal holds 8 OSC clock cycles. To lower the power consumption, users can set the bit
“IORSTN” (bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) to ‘1’ to wake up the system without reset.
5.2.4. CF Pulse Wakeup Event
In V9821, the system may be woken up from the LPM1 state by the CF pulse output if the CF pulse
output is enabled (CFENR = 1 or CFEN = 1, bit[5:4] of PMCtrl4, 0x287D), and the CF pulse output is
enabled to be a wakeup event (CFWKEN = 1, bit2 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) before the system enters the LPM1
state. When a CF pulse wakeup event occurs, both bits “RTC/CF” (bit2 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) and “CFWK”
(bit3 of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF) are set to 1s.
By default the CF pulse wakeup event can wake up the system from the LPM1 state and reset it to the
OSC state. To lower the power consumption, users can set the bit “IORSTN” (bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) to
‘1’ to wake up the system without reset.
5.3. Level 1
In V9821, WDT overflow, RSTn pin input signal, power-on (POR), and brown out (BOR) are designed as
the reset events of Level 1. When any one of these reset events occurs, the bit “POR” (bit5 of Systate, SFR
0xA1) will be set to ‘1’.

V9821 Datasheet
5.3.1. RSTn Pin Input (RSTn Pin Reset)
Holding logic low on the pin “RSTn” for more than 5 ms can trigger an RSTn pin reset signal to reset the
system. After the logic is pulled high, the reset signal holds 4 more OSC clock cycles (About 122 μs) and
then is released.
To prevent from the static disturbance, the input signal on the pin “RSTn” will be filtered based on the
RC clock.

5.3.2. Power-On Reset (POR) and Brown-Out Reset

(BOR)
In V9821, the output voltage of the digital power supply (Via pin “DVCC”) is monitored by the
power-on/brown-out reset circuit.
On power-up, a power-on reset signal will be generated to reset the system when the output voltage of
pin DVCC is lower than 1.4 V. The system will stay in the reset state for 4 more OSC clock cycles (About
122 μs) even when the voltage on the pin “DVCC” is higher than 1.4 V.
On power-down, when the output voltage on the pin “DVCC” is lower than 1.4 V, the brown-out reset
circuit will generate a reset signal to reset the system.
When logic “0” is input to the pin “MODE1”, this reset event will be masked.

5.3.3. WDT Overflow
In V9821, when the WDT overflows, a reset signal is generated and resets the system. The system will
exit from the reset state in 8 RC clock cycles (About 250 μs).
When logic ‘0’ is input to the pin “MODE1”, this reset event will be masked.

6.Clock
In V9821, there are three clock generation circuits:
- The RC oscillator circuit is used to generate an RC clock (RCCLK). This circuit will stop running only
when the chip is powered off.
- The crystal oscillator circuit is used to generate an OSC clock (OSCCLK). Generally, this circuit will
stop running only when the chip is powered off, but it also will stop running in some special
circumstances. This circuit is monitored by the OSC monitoring circuit sourced by RC clock. When this
oscillator circuit stops running, RC clock will replace OSC clock to source all circuits that are sourced
by the OSC clock, and the monitoring circuit will stimulate the crystal oscillator circuit until it runs
again.
- The phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit is used to generate a PLL clock (PLLCLK). The PLL locks onto a
multiple of the OSCCLK frequencies to provide a stable clock: PLLCLK. This circuit can be disabled.
The above three clocks can work as the clock sources for the functional units:
- Clock 1 (CLK1) provides clock pulses for MCU (Including MCU, RAM, Flash memory, interrupt circuits,
timers/UART serial interfaces, GPSI and IO ports). The OSC clock and PLL clock can be the optional
source for CLK1. This clock is enabled by default, and it can be disabled.
- Clock 2 (CLK2) provides clock pulses for the energy metering architecture. The OSC clock and PLL
clock can be the optional source for CLK2. This clock is enabled by default, but it can be disabled.
- Clock 3 (CLK3) provides clock pulses for the LCD driver. The OSC clock is the source of this clock, and
this clock is enabled by default, but it can be disabled only when PLL clock is selected as the source for
CLK1 and CLK2.
- Clock 4 (CLK4) provides clock pulses for WDT. The RC clock is the source of this clock. This clock is
disabled and enabled together with CLK1.
- Clock 5 (CLK5) provides clock pulses for RTC. The OSC clock is the source of this clock. This clock
cannot be disabled.

Figure 6-1 Clock System Architecture
6.1. RC Clock
In V9821, there is an embedded RC oscillator circuit. It can generate an independent 32-kHz RC clock.
It is the clock source for Clock 4 (CLK4) that provides clock pulses for WDT. The RC oscillator circuit will not
stop running until the chip is powered off, but CLK4 can be enabled or disabled together with CLK1.
There is a circuit monitoring the crystal oscillation and stimulating the oscillator to run again when it
stops working. This circuit is sourced by the RC clock. When the crystal oscillator circuit stops running, the
RC clock will immediately replace it to be the clock source for all circuits that are sourced by OSC clock.
Users can read bit “OSC” (bit7 of ANState, 0x286B) to detect whether the crystal stops running and has
been replaced by RC clock to source all circuits.
6.2. OSC Clock

In V9821, there is an embedded oscillator circuit with fixed capacitance of 12.5 pF. Connect this circuit
to a 32768-Hz crystal around the pins, CTO and CTI, to compose a crystal oscillator circuit to generate a
32768 Hz OSC clock, an optional clock source for CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, and CLK5. Users can configure the
register “P20FS” (0x28C9) to measure the OSC clock waveform via pin P2.0. The clock frequency can be
adjusted finely via configuring register “CtrlCry1” (0x2860) for the resistance and capacitance in the

V9821 Datasheet
embedded oscillator circuit or connecting some additional capacitors around pins “CTO and CTI”. If the
RTC is used, bit XTRSEL[2:0] (bit[2:0] of CtrlCry1, 0x2860) must be set to “0b011”. It consumes 0.6 μA
by default.
Generally, this circuit will not stop running until the chip is powered off, but some factors may cause the
oscillator circuit to stop running. There is a circuit monitoring the crystal oscillation and stimulating it to
run again when it stops working. This circuit is sourced by the RC clock. When the crystal oscillator circuit
stops running, the RC clock will immediately replace it to be the clock source for all circuits that are
sourced by OSC clock. Users can read bit “OSC” (bit7 of ANState, 0x286B) to detect whether the crystal
stops running and has been replaced by RC clock to source all circuits.
6.3. PLL Clock

The PLL circuit locks onto a multiple of the OSC clock frequencies to provide some stable clock pulses,
“MEA_PLL, MCU_PLL, and ADC_PLL”, for the energy metering architecture, MCU and its peripherals, and
ADCs.
Start MCU and then enable the PLL circuit. When the PLL circuit is disabled, it will output the 32768-Hz
OSC clock.
Users can enable the PLL circuit, and select the PLL clock as the source for CLK1 and CLK2. Please
follow the steps:
1. Access to the register “CtrlCLK” (0x2867) to enable the PLL circuit, and configure the frequency of
MCUCLK and MTCLK
2. Wait for the configuration till the PLL is locked. MCU can access to the register “PLLLCK” (SFR 0xA3)
and read the bit “PLLLCK” to detect the state of the PLL circuit.
3. When the PLL circuit is locked, set the bit “MCUFRQ” or “MEAFRQ” (bit0 or bit7 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80)
to ‘1’ to select the PLL clock as the source for CLK1 or CLK2. This duration only spends one PLL clock
cycle.
Users must follow the steps to reconfigure the MTCLK frequency or MCUCLK frequency when PLL circuit is
enabled:
1. Access to the register “SysCtrl” (SFR 0x80) to select the OSC clock as the source for CLK1 or CLK2
2. Access to the register “CtrlCLK” (0x2867) to adjust the frequency of MTCLK or MCUCLK
3. Access to the register “SysCtrl” (SFR 0x80) to select the PLL clock as the source for CLK1 or CLK2
V9821 is 50/60Hz-power-line supportive. By default the chip is applied to 50Hz-power-line. Users can
set the bit “PLLSEL” (bit5 of CtrlPLL, 0x2868) to ‘1’ to configure the chip for the application in 60-Hz power
grid. The PLL clock frequency in 60-Hz power grid is 1.2 times of that in 50-Hz power grid. In 60-Hz power
grid, the parameters related to the clock frequency, such as the baud rate and timers, must be
reconfigured. If not specifically noted, all information related to clock frequency in this datasheet will only
be applied to 50-Hz power grid.
In the full-speed operation, the MCUCLK frequency is 13.1072 MHz, the MTCLK frequency is
3.2768 MHz, and ADCCLK frequency is 819.2 kHz which is a quarter of the MTCLK frequency. The typical

V9821 Datasheet
load current in the full-speed operation is 5.5 mA.
6.4. Switching Source for CLK1 and CLK2

In V9821, there are two methods on switching the source for CLK1, and only one method on switching
the source for CLK2.
- Normal operation
In this mode, MCU needs to access some registers to select the clock source for CLK1 or CLK2, and/or
to disable/enable the clock.
- Quick operation
In this mode, only one register is needed by MCU to access to trigger the hardware to enable/disable
the PLL circuit, select the source for CLK1, and/or enable/disable CLK1. If this method is used to
disable CLK1, the system will enter LPM1 state, but not LPM2 state. If the chip is used for a low-power
application, this method will be recommended.
6.4.1. Normal Operation
6.4.1.1. Switching Source for CLK1 and Disable CLK1
When the RSTn pin reset, POR/BOR, or WDT overflow reset occurs, the analog control registers and the
register “SysCtrl” (SFR 0x80) will be reset to their default states, which means that the PLL circuit will be
disabled and CLK1 will be enabled and sourced by OSC clock. After the reset, access the analog control
registers to enable the PLL circuit and configure the frequency of MCUCLK, and then set the bit “MCUFRQ”
(bit0 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) to ‘1’ to select PLL clock as the source for CLK1. Only one OSC clock cycle is
needed for all the above processes.
It is mandatory to enable the PLL circuit before writing ‘1’ to the bit “MCUFRQ” to select the source for
CLK1. When CLK1 is sourced by PLL clock, PLL clock frequency will automatically change to 32768 Hz if the
PLL circuit is anomaly disabled, but the bit “MCUFRQ” is still read out as ‘1’. In this condition, MCU must
read the bit “PLLLCK” (bit0 of PLLLCK, SFR 0xA3) to detect the state of the PLL circuit.
When CLK1 is sourced by PLL clock, clear the bit “MCUFRQ” (bit0 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) to select OSC
clock as the source for CLK1. This switchover needs no more than one OSC clock cycle. In this period, the
write operation on the analog control registers is invalid. MCU can keep on reading this bit once
immediately clearing it. If this bit is read out as ‘0’, it indicates the switchover is finished.
When CLK1 is sourced by OSC clock, and the bit “PWRUP” (bit0 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) is read out as ‘0’,
write ‘1’ to the bit “SLEEP0” or “SLEEP1” (bit1 or bit2 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) to disable CLK1 to force the
system to enter the LPM2 state or LPM1 state. When CLK1 is disabled, MCU, including MCU, RAM, Flash
memory, interrupt circuits, timers, UART interfaces, and GPIO ports, will stop working.

V9821 Datasheet
6.4.1.2. Switching Source for CLK2 and Disable CLK2
When the RSTn pin reset, POR/BOR, or WDT overflow reset occurs, the analog control registers and the
register “SysCtrl” (SFR 0x80) will be reset to their default states, which means the PLL circuit will be
disabled; CLK2 will be enabled and sourced by OSC clock. After the reset, access to the analog control
registers to enable the PLL circuit and configure the frequency of MTCLK, and then set the bit “MEAFRQ”
(bit7 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) to ‘1’ to select PLL clock as the source for CLK2. Only one OSC clock cycle is
needed for all the above processes.
It is mandatory to enable the PLL circuit and then write ‘1’ to the bit “MEAFRQ” to select the source for
CLK2. When CLK2 is sourced by PLL clock, PLL clock frequency will automatically change to 32768 Hz if the
PLL circuit is anomaly disabled, but the bit “MEAFRQ” is still read out as ‘1’. In this condition, MCU must
read the bit “PLLLCK” (bit0 of PLLLCK, SFR 0xA3) to detect the state of the PLL circuit.
When CLK2 is sourced by PLL clock, clear the bit “MEAFRQ” (bit7 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) to select OSC
clock as the source for CLK2. This switchover needs no more than one OSC clock cycle. In this period, the
write operation on the analog control registers is invalid. MCU can keep on reading this bit once
immediately clearing it. When this bit is read out as ‘0’, it indicates the switchover is finished.
When CLK2 is sourced by OSC clock, write ‘1’ to the bit “PMG” (bit4 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) to disable
CLK2. When CLK2 is disabled, the energy metering architecture will stop working.
6.4.2. Quick Operation
This mode is applied to disable/enable the PLL circuit, select the source for CLK1, and enable/disable
CLK1. In this mode, only the register “SysCtrl” (SFR 0x80) needs to be accessed.
When the RSTn pin reset, POR/BOR, WDT overflow reset, power supply restoration event, or IO/RTC
wakeup event occurs, the bits “FWC and FSC” (bit6 and bit5 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) will be reset to 0s. Thus,
the program determines the state of the system, including the PLL circuit and the clock source for CLK1.
Clear the bit “FSC”, and then write ‘1’ to the bit “FWC”, to enable the PLL circuit and select the PLL clock
as the source for CLK1 automatically. In this condition, the PLL clock frequency is 3.2768 MHz. The source
for CLK1 will be switched to PLL clock immediately once ‘1’ is written to the bit “FWC”.
When the bit “PWRUP” (bit0 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) is read out as ‘0’, write ‘1’ to the bit “FSC” whatever
the bit “FWC” is, to select the OSC clock to be the source for CLK1, to disable the PLL circuit, to disable
CLK1, and to force the system to enter the LPM1 state.
6.4.3. Normal Operation v.s. Quick Operation
When the RSTn pin reset, POR/BOR, WDT overflow reset, power supply restoration event, or IO/RTC
wakeup event occurs, the system will get into a temporary state in which the OSC clock is used as the
clock source for CLK1 and the energy accumulation unit can only accumulate a constant. In this state, the
system consumes some power that should be diminished for the low-power-consumption applications. In
the power-down state, the process of disabling the circuits consumes some power that should also be

V9821 Datasheet
diminished.
In the normal operation, applications need to access analog control registers to get the system out of
the temporary state or to disable the circuits in the power-down state. But in the quick operation, only the
bits “FSC/FWC” need to be accessed. Thus, completing the above implementation in the quick operation
is preferred.
But, as stated above, the clock source switchover in the normal operation and quick operation may
affect each other:
- If the bits “FSC/FWC” are set to “0b01”, the configuration of the register “CtrlCLK” (0x2867) and
the bit “MCUFRQ” (bit0 of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) cannot be activated, and the PLL clock frequency
holds 3.2768 MHz.
- If the bit “MCUFRQ” is read out as ‘1’, clearing the bits “FSC/FWC” cannot switch the clock source
for CLK1.
To prevent MCU from the mis-operation, MCU can combine both methods, the combination operation:
To enable the PLL circuit and switch the source for CLK1 in the quick operation to lower power
consumption; and then, to hold PLL clock frequency in normal operation.
FWC = 1; // Turn on PLL, and switch the clock source to PLL clock
MCUFRQ = 1; // when PLL clock is the source for Clock 1
In Table 6-1, the normal, quick and combination operations are compared.

7.Operating Mode
V9821 has three system states according to the state of Clock 1:
 OSC state: When a reset event of Level 1 or Level 2 occurs, the system will go to the OSC state, in
which Clock 1 runs and is sourced by OSC clock.
 Working state: The PLL circuit is enabled, and the PLL clock is used as the source for Clock 1.
 Sleeping state: When the bit “PWRUP” (bit0 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) is cleared, select OSC clock as the
source for Clock 1 and disable Clock 1, and then the system will enter the sleeping state. By default
the chip will be woken up with reset and forced to go back to OSC state. But when the bit “IORSTN”
(bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) is set to ‘1’, the chip will be woken up without reset, which means the chip
will be woken up and go back to where it enters the sleeping state except that bits “SLEEP1, SLEEP0,
FWC and FSC” (bits of SysCtrl, SFR 0x80) are cleared to 0s. The sleeping state is classified into 2
states: LPM1 state and LPM2 state. An IO/ RTC wakeup event, CF pulse output, or a power supply
restoration event can wake up the system from the LPM1 state. An IO wakeup event or a power
supply restoration event can wake up the system from the LPM2 state.
7.1. Power Consumption

In V9821, there are a lot of functional units, some of which can be disabled, but others cannot. The
power consumption of these units may be affected by the digital power supply or the clock frequency as
shown in Table 7-1.

7.1.2. Working State
In the OSC state, enable the PLL circuit, select the PLL clock to work as the source for CLK1, and then
the system will enter the working state.
In the working state, users can configure the MCU clock (CLK1) frequency, and enable the required
ADCs, the energy metering architecture, the LCD driver, and MCU and its peripherals according to the
application.
7.1.3. Sleeping State
When the bit “PWRUP” (bit0 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) is read out as ‘0’, switch the source for CLK1 to the
OSC clock and then disable CLK1, then the system will go to the sleeping state.
There are two types of sleeping state: LPM1 state and LPM2 state.
In the LPM1 state or LPM2 state, RTC holds on; the memories, MCU, and its peripherals stop working;
but the LCD driver and the energy metering architecture will not stop working until they are disabled. If
ADCs, PLL circuit, LCD driver, and energy metering architecture are disabled, and IOs are set to “Output,
disabled; input, masked” before entering the LPM1 state or LPM2 state, the system will consume the
lowest power.
In the LPM1 state, if IO/RTC wakeup event, CF pulse output, or power supply restoration event occurs,
the system will be woken up and go back to the OSC state by default. In the LPM2 state, only an IO
wakeup event or power supply restoration event can wake up the system and reset it to the OSC state by
default. When the bit “IORSTN” (bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) is set to ‘1’, any wakeup event can wake up the
system from the LPM1 state or LPM2 state only without resetting the system to the OSC state. In this
condition, the chip will go back where it enters the sleeping state, except that bit[6:5] (FWC and FSC) and
bit[2:1] (SLEEP1 and SLEEP0) will be cleared to 0s.
If the pin “WAKEUP1, WAKEUP2, WAKEUP3, or WAKEUP4” is set to “Input enabled” before the system
enters the LPM1 state or LPM2 state, a transition (Either high-to-low or low-to-high, with more than 4 OSC
clock cycles on both levels) on the pin in the LPM1 state or LPM2 state can wake up the system. By default
ports “P0.2 and P0.3” are not used for the wakeup event input. Users must configure the bit “IOP0” (bit1
of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) to ‘1’ to set both pins for the wakeup input. When the bit “IO” (bit3 of Systate, SFR
0xA1) is set to ‘1’, read states of bits “IOP14” (bit0 of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF), “P02WK” (bit1 of IOWKDET,
SFR 0xAF), and “P03WK” (bit2 of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF) to detect which IO wakeup event wakes up the

V9821 Datasheet
chip from the sleeping state.
If both bits “RTC” (bit2 of Systate, SFR A1) and “CFWK” (bit3 of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF) are set to 1s, it
indicates that the system will be woken up by the CF pulse output. If the bit “RTC” is set to ‘1’, but “CFWK”
is cleared, it indicates that an RTC wakeup event will occur.
7.1.3.1. Sleep/Wake-Up
In V9821, there are two methods to wake up the system from the sleeping state or make the system go
to the sleeping state: normal method and quick method.
1. Normal Method
The normal method for wakeup/sleep switchover is totally controlled by the program.
When the PLL clock is enabled and works as the source for the MCU clock (CLK1), users can follow the
steps illustrated in Figure 7-1 to force both MCU and energy metering architecture to go to the sleeping
state, or force MCU to go to the sleeping state only but leave the energy metering architecture to
accumulate a constant for energy metering.

regulator circuit (3.3V-LDO), and the LDO33 output voltage powers the peripheral circuits; the energy
metering architecture and PLL circuit are powered by the digital power supply circuit.
There is an internal power detection circuit in V9821. By default this circuit is enabled. When the chip is
3.3 V powered, users must set the bit “PDDET” (bit7 of CtrlLDO, 0x2866) to ‘1’ to disable this circuit to

8.1. 3.3-V Regulator Circuit (LDO33)

In V9821, the analog circuits and the GPIO ports are powered by the 3.3-V regulator circuit (LDO33),
and the LDO33 output voltage powers the peripheral circuits. This LDO33 will not stop working until the
chip is powered off. The LDO33 output voltage can be configurable via the bits “LDO3SEL” (bit[5:3] of
CtrlLDO, 0x2866).
LDO33 has a driving capability of 30 mA. When the load current through the analog circuits and the
GPIO ports is less than 30 mA, the LDO33 output voltage holds 3.3 V; when the load current is higher than
30 mA, the higher the load current is, the lower voltage the LDO33 will output.

V9821 Datasheet
It is recommended to externally decouple the pin “LDO33” with a ≥ 4.7-μF capacitor in parallel with a
0.1-μF capacitor.

8.2. Digital Power Supply

In V9821, the PLL clock generation circuit and the energy metering architecture (VMA) are powered by
the digital power supply circuit. When the digital power supply output is 200 mV, lower than the power
input on the pin VDD5, it will output a stable voltage, avoiding the digital power fluctuation caused by the
variation of the power input. The digital power supply output is configurable via the bit “LDOV2SEL”
(bit[2:0] of CtrlLDO, 0x2866).
The digital power supply circuit has a driving capability of 35 mA. When the load current through the
circuits is less than 35 mA, the digital power supply will be stable; when the load current is higher than
35 mA, the higher the load current is, the lower the digital power supply will be.
This supply circuit will not stop working until the system is powered off.
It is recommended to decouple the pin DVCC externally with a ≥ 4.7-μF capacitor in parallel with a
0.1-μF capacitor.
8.3. Power Supply Supervisor

In V9821, the DC main power is input into the pin “VDCIN” after a resistive divider. The input voltage on
the pin “VDCIN” is monitored continuously by the power supply supervisor.
When the input voltage on the pin “VDCIN” is lower than 1.0 V, a power-down event will occur, the bit
“PWRDN” (bit1 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) will be set to ‘1’, and a power-down interrupt will be generated to
MCU.

8.4. Batteries Supply

V9821 can be powered by the batteries. Users can read the value of the flag bit “PWRUP” (bit0 of Systate,
SFR 0xA1) to get the state of the power supply. When this bit is read out as ‘0’, it indicates the input
voltage on the pin “VDCIN” is lower than 1.0 V, which means the system is powered by the batteries, or
the power supply has been switched from the 5.0-V power to the batteries. The switchover between the
main power and the batteries is determined by the diode drop in the circuit in Figure 8-1.
When the chip is powered by the batteries, please note that the batteries will get passive when it is
reactive for a long time. So users should set the bit “BATDISC” (bit0 of CtrlBAT, 0x285C) to ‘1’ at an
interval to discharge the batteries to protect them from the passivation. During the batteries discharge,
the load current is 3 mA, and the period for batteries discharge should not be too long. After the discharge,
the bit “BATDISC” must be cleared.

When the RSTn pin reset, POR/BOR, or WDT overflow reset occurs, or the system is in the LPM1 state
or LPM2 state, this comparator will stop running.
When IE6 = 1 (bit6 of 0x28A5), EIE.3 = 1 (bit3 of SFR 0xE8), and IE.7 = 1 (bit7 of SFR 0xA8), the
comparator interrupt will be enabled. In this state, the interrupt flag “IR6” (bit6 of 0x28A2) will be set to
‘1’ when the output of the comparator changes, and the comparator will generate an interrupt to MCU.
After the interrupt service, users can read the bit “COMPB” (bit5 of 0x286B) to detect the comparison
result of the input signals.

10.1. Accessing to Registers for Energy-metering

Architecture
In V9821, MCU must write or read of the metering control, data and calibration registers through the
buffer registers.
1. Buffer registers for write and read operations
When the POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset, or WDT overflow reset event occurs, all buffer registers for the
write and read operations on the registers for the energy-metering architecture are reset to their default
states.

MCU must read the registers for the energy-metering architecture. Please follow the steps as illustrated
below:
a. Write “0xCC”, and then “0s” to the register “INVD”
b. Read the address of the target register
c. When the flag bit “ACK” is read out as ‘0’, or in no more than 24 MTCLK clock periods, the content
(DATA) of the target register will be loaded into the buffer registers in sequence as illustrated in
Table 10-1
d. Read the buffer registers to acquire the content (DATA)
3. Write operation

10.2. Metering Clock

CLK2 provides the clock pulse for the energy-metering architecture, including ADCs. It is sourced by the
OSC clock or PLL clock. When CLK2 is disabled, the metering architecture will stop running.
There is a specific bit (GT, bit7 of IDET, 0x2886) to disable the clock for the sampling circuits and
RMS/power calculation circuits. When this bit is set to ‘1’, the circuits will stop working, but the energy
accumulation unit will keep on running.
In the working state, the PLL clock is enabled, and it is selected as the source for CLK2. In this condition,
the metering clock frequency (fMTCLK) and sampling frequency of ADCs (fADC) are configurable, and fMTCLK
must be 4 times of fADC.

10.3. Reference Voltage

In V9821, the BandGap circuit outputs a reference voltage (About 1.185 V with a typical temperature
drift of 10 ppm/˚C) and bias current for ADCs and PLL circuit. Thus, users must enable the BandGap circuit
before enabling ADCs or PLL circuit by setting the bit “BGPPDN” (bit6 of CtrlCLK, 0x2867) to ‘1’.
10.4. Analog Inputs

V9821 has three pairs of analog inputs forming two current channels and one voltage channel. The
current channels consist of two fully differential voltage inputs. And the voltage channel consists of a
pseudo differential voltage input: UP is positive input for the voltage channel, and UN, grounded, is
negative input for the voltage channel. Each input has a maximum voltage of ± 200 mV, and each pair has
a maximum differential voltage of ± 400 mV.
In a current channel, a current transformer (CT) or a shunt resistor can be used for the current
channels.

Second-order Σ-ΔADCs are designed in three channels of V9821 for analog-to-digital conversion, and
their full measurement scale is ± 1.1 V. By default, Σ-ΔADCs are disabled. Users can enable them via
configuring the “CtrlADC6” register (0x2864).
Note: It is mandatory to clear the bit “DCENN” (bit7 of CtrlLCDV, 0x285E) to add 10-mV direct voltage
offset to the current input to current channel ADCs.

Figure 10-6 Phase Compensation Schematics

A phase compensation circuit composed of a time delay chain of fixed length is applied to correct the
phase angle error via delaying the selected signal. Either current or voltage signals can be delayed.
By default the phase compensation is disabled. Users can enable this function via configuring the bit
“PHCEN” (bit6 of PMCtrl1, 0x2878). When the phase compensation is enabled, the phase angle error
between I1 and U, and I2 and U, are corrected respectively. Bit [7:0] of register PHCCtrl1 (0x287B)
together with bit[1:0] (IAPHC) of register CRPST (0x287F) or bit[7:0] of register PHCCtrl2 (0x287C)
together with bit[3:2] (IBPHC) of register CRPST (0x287F) are used to calibrate the phase angle error
between signal I1 or I2 and the voltage signal, see Table 10-7 for details.
In 50Hz power grid, when the sampling frequency of the phase compensation circuit (fsmpl) is
3.2768MHz, the calibration resolution is 0.0055°/lsb, and the maximum phase angle error to be corrected
is 1.4°. The value of fsmpl is determined by the configuration of bits MEACLKSEL<1:0> (bit[3:2] of CtrlCLK,
0x2867).
The value (N) to be set to the phase compensation control registers can be calculated via the following
equation:
1 𝑓𝑠𝑚𝑝𝑙
N = 𝑅𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑( × × {±𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑐𝑜𝑠[𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 × (1 + 𝐸)] − 𝜃 }) Equation 10-1
𝜋 100
where
N is the value, signed, to be set to the registers, listed in Table 10-7, to correct the phase angle error.
A positive N indicates that the current signal must be delayed, so “0” must be set to the sign bit; a
negative N indicates that the voltage signal must be delayed, so “1” must be set to the sign bit;
θ is the phase angle between current and voltage signals, in radian format. A positive θ indicates a
phase lead in current signal; a negative θ indicates a phase lag in current signal;
E is the energy metering error displayed on LCD screen of the calibration equipment;

Where, “PGAdua” and “PGAdia” are the DPGA gains; “PGAua” and “PGAia” are the APGA gains; “Aua” and
“Aia” are the amplitude of current and voltage inputs; and ‘1.185’ is the reference voltage.
10.9. Current Detection

To lower the power consumption, a current detection circuit is designed in V9821 to compare the AC
component of the instantaneous I1 current signal with the preset threshold in the register “IDETTH”
(0x1002). Set the bit “DETON” (bit4 of IDET, 0x2886) to ‘1’ to enable the current detection, and configure
bit[3:0] of “IDET” (0x2886) for the current detection window width ([IDLEN]+1). When ([IDLEN]+1)
continuous current samples are detected to be higher than the preset threshold, it will be defined as that
a current signal is caught, and the flag bit “CST” (bit6 of IDET, 0x2886) is set to ‘1’. Users must set the bit
“CLR” (bit5 of IDET, 0x2886) to ‘1’ or clear the bit “DETON” to clear the bit “CST”.
The configuration of the bit “IDLEN” (bit[3:0] of IDET, 0x2886) and the current detection period have a
relationship as shown in Equation 10-3:
256 × ([𝐼𝐷𝐿𝐸𝑁] + 1)
𝑡𝐼𝐷𝑇 = × 1000 Equation 10-3
𝑓𝐴𝐷𝐶
Where, ‘256’ means that the decimation filter (CIC) has reduced the sampling frequency to 1/256 of fADC,
the sampling frequency of the oversampling ADC; [IDLEN] is the configuration of bits “IDLEN”; tIDT is the
current detection period, in unit of “ms”. To perform the current detection, it is mandatory to enable the
metering clock (MTCLK), and enable the power/RMS calculation.

10.10. RMS Calculation and Calibration

V9821 supports the RMS calculation. By default this function is disabled. When the RMS calculation is
enabled, users can enable the band-pass filter in the RMS calculation circuit via the bit “BPFEN” (bit6 of
PMCtrl3, 0x287A) and configure the filter coefficient via the register “PARABPF” (0x10EF) to improve the
calculation accuracy.

to accumulate a constant for the energy accumulation, it is recommended to set this

for the energy-to-pulse conversion must be set before setting this bit to ‘1’.

PARABPF If MTCLK frequency is reduced to 819.2kHz, users must disable energy accumulation,
CF pulse output and no-load detection, and then configure this register to
0x10EF
0x911D3C9C. When MTCLK frequency is reinstated to 3.2768MHz, this register must
be set to its default value.
As illustrated in Figure 10-8, the current or voltage signal output from the high-pass filter is multiplied
with itself in the multiplier to get the product with the second harmonic which can be removed by the
low-pass filter, and then the signal processed output from the low-pass filter is sent to the circuit for
rooting processing that produces a 32-bit datum, the raw RMS value of current or voltage. The raw RMS
data will be gain calibrated and then stored in instantaneous RMS registers. Besides, the instantaneous
RMS data will be averaged to acquire the average RMS data that are stored in average RMS registers.
If the raw RMS value is represented as RMS’, the gain calibration value is represented as S, and the
instantaneous RMS is represented as RMS, then the above three values have the relationship:
RMS=RMS’×(1+S) Equation 10-4

The content of all the instantaneous and average RMS data registers are in the form of 32-bit
2’-complement. When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, these registers are reset
to their default states.
10.11. Apparent Power Calculation

V9821 supports apparent power calculation. This function is enabled or disabled together with RMS
calculation.
In V9821, the average current and voltage RMS are multiplied to acquire the apparent power, as
described in the following equation:
S=Irms × Urms Equation 10-5
where, S represents apparent power; Irms and Urms are the average current and voltage RMS.
The content of the apparent power registers are in the form of 32-bit 2’-complement. When POR/BOR,
RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, these registers are reset to their default states.
10.12. Power Calculation and Calibration

The V9821 supports active/reactive power calculation. This function is enabled or disabled together with
the RMS calculation and apparent power calculation.
There are two paths for power calculation, energy accumulation and energy pulse generation: E1 path
and E2 path. E1 path is used for active power calculation and energy accumulation only; but, E2 path can
be configured for active or reactive power calculation and energy accumulation which is determined by bit
DBLEN (bit4 of PMCtrl3, 0x287A). By default E2 path is used for reactive power calculation based on
current I1.

Then, the product is input to the low-pass filter (LPF) to remove the harmonics and the ripples caused by
the noise, and the output of the LPF is the raw active power. This raw power is gain calibrated and then
offset calibrated to acquire the instantaneous active power that is stored in the registers DATAIP (0x10D1,
for active power calculated in E1 path) and DATAIQ (0x10D2, for active power calculated in E2 path). The
instantaneous active power will be averaged to get the average active power that is stored in the registers
DATAP (0x10D6, for active power in E1 path) and DATAQ (0x10D7, for active power in E2 path). The
content of all the registers are in the form of 32-bit 2’-complement, and they will be reset to their default
states when POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs.

Figure 10-10 Signal Processing for Reactive Power Calculation and Calibration
As illustrated in the above figure, current I1, filtered by the high-pass filter (HPF), is input into a digital
integrator to shift the phase by 90° (the integrator introduces an extra gain of 1.568 that can be
eliminated via gain calibration). The filtered current signal is sent to the multiplier together with voltage
to multiply each other. Then, the product is input to the low-pass filter (LPF) to remove the harmonics and
the ripples caused by the noise, and the output of the LPF is the raw reactive power. This raw power is gain
calibrated and offset calibrated to acquire the instantaneous reactive power, which is stored in the register
DATAIQ (0x10D2, for reactive power calculated in E2 path). The instantaneous reactive power will be
averaged to get the average reactive power, which is stored in the register DATAQ (0x10D7, for reactive
power in E2 path). The content of the registers are in the form of 32-bit 2’-complement, and they will be
reset to their default states when POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs.
Users can configure register SCQ (0x10E9) for gain calibration over the range of -∞~+49.9%, and
register PARAQC (0x10EE) for offset calibration over the range of -50%~+50%. Both registers are in the
form of 32-bit 2’-complement. When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, both
registers are reset to their default states.
10.13. Energy Accumulation and CF Pulse Output

The V9821 supports energy accumulation and energy-to-pulse conversion. By default this function is
disabled. Users can set bit EGYEN (bit3 of PMCtrl4, 0x287D) to 1 to enable energy accumulation and
energy-to-pulse conversion.

Figure 10-11 Energy Accumulation and CF Pulse Output
10.13.1. Energy Accumulation
In E1 path, positive and negative active powers are accumulated into the energy accumulators
according to their signs; for example, positive active power is accumulated into PPCNT (0x10F0), and
negative active power is accumulated into NPCNT (0x10F1). Besides, other data, such as I1 current RMS
or a constant (preset in the register DATACP, 0x10FC), also can be selected to be accumulated into PPCNT
via configuring bits PSEL1~PSEL0 (bit[1:0] of PMCtrl4, 0x287D) when the chip is used for low power
applications.
In E2 path, positive and negative active/reactive powers are accumulated into the energy accumulators
according to their signs; for example, positive power is accumulated into PQCNT (0x10F6), and negative
power is accumulated into NQCNT (0x10F7).
When MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz, 1.6384MHz or 819.2kHz, the energy accumulation frequency is
12.8kHz. When MTCLK frequency is 32768Hz, the energy accumulation frequency is 2979Hz.
The energy accumulators are of actual 42-bit length. But only the higher 32 bits are readable; and only
the higher 32 bits are valid for write operation and the 10 least significant bits are padded with 0s in write
operation. When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, all the energy accumulators are
reset to default values, 0s.

10.13.2. Energy Pulse Generation and CF Pulse Output
When energy accumulation and energy-to-pulse conversion is enabled, the energy will be accumulated

V9821 Datasheet
at a certain rate. Preset a threshold in the register GATEP (0x10F4, for active energy accumulation in E1
path) or GATEQ (0x10FA, for active/reactive energy accumulation in E2 path), and when the content of
energy accumulators in E1 or E2 path is higher than the preset threshold, the energy accumulator
overflows, an energy pulse is generated, the energy pulse counter increments by 1, and a value equal to
the threshold is subtracted from the energy accumulator.
When a low signal is input, users can reduce the energy threshold to increase the pulse generation rate
to speed up energy calibration via configuring bits CFQR1~CFQR0 and CFQ1~CFQ0 (bit[7:4] of CFCtrl,
0x287E).
When CF pulse output is enabled, one CF pulse will be output every 2 counts of the pulse counter. When
MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz, the maximum CF pulse output frequency is 6.4kHz, and the pulse width
is configurable via bits CFWD (bit[5:4] of CRPST, 0x287F) and by default the width is 80ms.
In the V9821, three pins, P9.5/CF2, P9.6/CF1 and P1.3/CFx, are used for CF pulse output:
- When bit5 and bit6 of the register P9FS (SFR 0xAD) are set to 1s, the ports P9.5 and P9.6 are used
for CF pulse output of E1 and E2 paths respectively;
- When the register P13FS (0x28C7) is set to 0x01, the port P1.3 is used for CF pulse output of E2 path;
when the register is set to 0x04, the port P1.3 is used for CF pulse output of E1 path.
When bit CFWKEN (bit2 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) is set to 1, CF pulse output can wake up the system from
LPM1 state. By default CF pulse output can wake up and reset the system to OSC state. But when bit
IORSTN (bit0 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) is set to 1, this event can wake the system only but not reset the
system. In this condition, after wakeup, the MCU keeps on executing the codes, and all circuits goes back
where they were before sleeping, except that bits of SysCtrl (SFR 0x80), SLEEP1, SLEEP0, FWC and FSC,
are cleared. When bits RTC/CF (bit2 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) and CFWK (bit3 of IOWKDET, SFR 0xAF) are
read out as 1s, it indicates the system was woken up by CF pulse output.

10.14. No-Load Detection

The V9821 supports no-load detection on both E1 and E2 paths. By default this function is disabled, but
users can enable it via configuring bits CRPENR and CRPEN (bit7 and bit6 of PMCtrl4, 0x287D).
There is an anti-creeping accumulator in the no-load detection circuit. When no-load detection is
enabled, 1s are accumulated in this register constantly. When MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz,
1.6384MHz or 819.2kHz, the accumulation frequency is 12800Hz; and when MTCLK frequency is 32768Hz,
the accumulation frequency is 2979Hz.
When no-load detection is enabled, constant 1s are accumulated into the embedded anti-creeping
accumulator, and the energy accumulator in E1 or E2 path accumulates active or reactive power or a
power constant. Preset a threshold for no-load detection in register GATECP (0x10F5) or GATECQ
(0x10FB), and a threshold for energy-to-pulse conversion in register GATEP (0x10F4) or GATEQ (0x10FA).
Compare the accumulation rate. If the energy accumulator overflows sooner, the anti-creeping
accumulator is cleared, and E1 or E2 path starts to meter energy. Otherwise, E1 or E2 path enters
creeping state. Users can read bit CRPST or CRPSTR (bit7 or bit6 of CRPST, 0x287F) to detect the state of
the path.
When POR/BOR, RSTN pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, the mentioned threshold registers are
reset to their default values, 0s.
The energy accumulators are of actual 42-bit length, but the threshold registers for energy-to-pulse
conversion are of 32-bit length. So, the threshold registers will be padded with a string of 10 0s on the
right to work as 42-bit registers.

Figure 10-12 Signal Processing for Line Frequency Measurement

In the line frequency measurement circuit, the voltage signal, filtered by the high-pass filter, is input to
a band-pass filter (BPF), which has a 50Hz center frequency with 25dB attenuation at 150Hz, for signal
processing. The output signal from the BPF is detected for zero-crossing. The average number of the
samples of the signal in 16 cycles is equal to the value of the register DATAFREQ (0x10FD). Then, the line
frequency can be calculated via the following equation:
f
f = ADC Equation 10-6
FRQ
where, f is the line frequency to be measured; FRQ is the content of register DATAFREQ (0x10FD) in the
form of decimal.
The line frequency register is a 16-bit, unsigned register. When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT
overflow reset occurs, this register is reset to its default state. The measurement resolution is 0.05Hz/lsb,
and the measurement range is over 35~75Hz. When MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz, this register is
updated in 320ms, and is settled in 500ms.
Note: When MTCLK frequency is lowered to 819.2kHz, the sampling frequency of the enabled band-pass
filter in the RMS calculation circuit is changed to 800Hz and the center frequency is changed to 12.5Hz,
which has a greater attenuation on 50Hz signals and will reduce the accuracy of the RMS calculation and
line frequency measurement. So, if MTCLK frequency is reduced to 819.2kHz, users must disable energy
accumulation, CF pulse output and no-load detection, and then configure this register to 0x911D3C9C.

10.16.1. Architecture of M Channel
The M Channel can be used to measure the ground, temperature, battery voltage and external voltage
signals. As illustrated in the following figure, there is only one ADC in M Channel, so users must configure
registers to use this channel to measure one signal at a time.

There are three data registers of M Channel, DATAOM (0x10CE) for raw waveform of the various signal
input, DATADM (0x10CF) for instantaneous DC component of the signal, and DATAADM (0x10D0) for
average DC component of the signal. The content of these registers are in the form of 32-bit 2’
complement. When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, these registers are reset to
their default states.
In 50Hz power grid, when MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz, DATAOM is updated in 0.3ms and settled in
10ms; DATADM is updated in 20ms and settled in 70ms; DATAADM is updated in 1.28s and settled in 3s.
If MTCLK frequency is divided by a coefficient K, the update and settle time is K times of that for
3.2768MHz MTCLK frequency.

V9821 Datasheet
11. Interrupt
When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset, WDT overflow event, power supply restoration event, IO/RTC wakeup
event or debugging event occurs, the interrupt control module is reset to its default state.
CLK1 provides clock pulses for the interrupt control module, so when the system enters LPM1 state or
LPM2 state, the interrupt control module stops running to save power. Each extended interrupt can be
gate controlled independently via configuring register PRCtrl1 (0x2D01).
11.1. Interrupt Sources

In the V9821 32 events can trigger interrupts:
- 4 IO interrupts on low or high-to-low transitions;
- 4 transmitter data output interrupt of UART;

- 4 receiver data input interrupt of UART;
- 7 timer overflow interrupts;

- 3 timer capture interrupts (TimerA);
- 2 CF pulse output interrupts;
- 1 pulse per second (PPS) output interrupt;
- 1 RTC illegal data interrupt;
- 1 zero-crossing interrupt;
- 1 power-down interrupt;
- 1 GPSI illegal data interrupt;
- 1 GPSI transmit interrupt;
- 1 comparator interrupt;
- 1 REF leakage interrupt.
In the V9821 the interrupts triggered by peripheral events are called Extended Interrupt. They are
named after the polling sequence; for example, Interrupt 8 is named because the polling sequence of the
extended interrupt handler located at 43h is 8. Additionally, an extended interrupt may be triggered by
more than one event (interrupt sources); for example, both transmitter data output interrupt and receiver
data input interrupt of UART2 can trigger the program execution to service the interrupt handler located
at 43h (Interrupt 8).
Take Interrupt 8 as an example to introduce how to trigger an interrupt, service and clear the interrupt
flag, and detect the event that triggers an extended interrupt. Only when the global enable bit IE.7 and
the enable bit for Interrupt 8 (EIE.0) is set to 1, will Interrupt 8 be triggered if any one enabled peripheral
event occurs and the flag bits of Interrupt 8 and the interrupt event is set bit. The program has to detect
the interrupt source depending on the flags and enable bits of the peripheral event when the program
enters to the interrupt subroutine located at address 43h. The processor can respond to the interrupt
event by polling or interrupt handling. When an extended interrupt is responded, the program must clear

V9821 Datasheet
the flag of the peripheral event firstly, and then the flag of Interrupt 8.
In the V9821, there are two tiers of interrupts: Interrupt Priority 1 and Interrupt Priority 0. Registers IP
(SFR 0xB8) and EIP (SFR 0xF8) can configure the priority of the interrupts. Interrupt Priority 1 takes
precedence over Interrupt Priority 0. In addition to an assigned priority level (1 or 0), each interrupt has
a polling sequence. An interrupt with a small polling sequence number means that it must be serviced
firstly when two interrupts of the same tier occur simultaneously. If two interrupts of different priority
occur, the one of Interrupt Priority 1 is serviced firstly. Only an interrupt of higher priority level can break
the service routine of the interrupt currently being serviced; when the new interrupt is serviced, the
program will go back where it was interrupted and serve the last interrupt.

Figure 11-2 Interrupt Processing

The preceding figure illustrates the interrupt processing in the V9821. When an enabled interrupt
occurs,
- The program jumps to the interrupt vector address to execute the interrupt service routine (ISR) of
the interrupt. An ISR being executed can only be interrupted by one of the interrupt with higher
priority. Each ISR ends with an RETI (return from interrupt) instruction, as shown as A in the
preceding figure.
- After executing the RETI, the program returns to the place where it was interrupted, as if it did not
leave off, to execute the next instruction that would have been executed if the interrupt had not
occurred. The program always completes an instruction in progress before servicing an interrupt. If
an instruction executed in progress is RETI, or a write operation to registers including IP SFR, IE SFR,
EIP SFR, and EIE SFR, the program will complete one additional instruction before servicing the ISR.
- In the V9821, Interrupt Priority 1 has higher priority than Interrupt Priority 0. So, the ISR of Interrupt
Priority 0 only can be interrupted by the ISR of Interrupt Priority 1, as shown as B and C in the
preceding figure.
- An ISR of Interrupt Priority 0 can be intruded by one of Interrupt Priority 1. When the latter one is
executed, the program will return to the place at the vector address of the former one where it was
interrupted to execute the ISR, and then, execute the instruction RETI to finish the ISR, as shown as
B in the preceding figure.
- When two interrupts of the same tier (Interrupt Priority 1 or Interrupt Priority 0) occur simultaneously,
the polling sequence of them is observed, as shown as D in the preceding figure.
- Interrupt latency depends on the current state of the MCU.

 The shortest interrupt latency is equal to five instruction cycles: one to detect the interrupt, and
four to perform the LCALL to the ISR.
 The longest latency (equal to thirteen instruction cycles) occurs when the MCU is currently
executing an RETI instruction followed by a MUL or DIV instruction. The thirteen instruction
cycles in this case are: one to detect the interrupt, three to complete the RETI, five to execute the
DIV or MUL, and four to execute the LCALL to the ISR. For an interrupt with the maximum latency,
the interrupt latency is 52 (13x4) clock cycles.
- To ensure that high-to-low-transition-triggered interrupts can be detected, such as IO Interrupt

0/1/2/3, the level on the corresponding ports should be held high for at least four clock cycles and
then low for no less than four clock cycles. If a level-triggered interrupt occurs when the flag has not
been set bit, or an interrupt with higher priority is in process which blocks the program jumping to the
interrupt vector address to execute its ISR, the interrupt signal will hold until it is to be serviced.

12. UART/Timers
When power-on or brown out reset (POR/BOR), RSTn pin reset, WDT overflow, power supply restoration
event, IO/RTC wakeup event or debugging reset occurs, all the timers and the UART serial interfaces are
reset to their default states. In LPM1 state or LPM2 state, they stop working. Each extended UART serial
interface and TimerA can be gate controlled independently via configuring register PRCtrl0 (0x2D00) and
PRCtrl1 (0x2D01).
12.1. Timers/Counters
The V9821 can provide users with timers listed as follows:
 TimerA, a 16-bit timer, with 3 compare/capture modules, gate controlled independently;
 Timer0, Timer1 and Timer2 of 8052 microcontroller. They work as general timers; furthermore,
Timer1 can work as the baud rate generator of UART1;
 The general timer and specific baud rate generator of each extended UART serial interface
(UART2/UART4/UART5). Each interface can be gate controlled independently. The general timer has
the same function with Timer0, an overflow event of which will set a flag bit to 1, which will be cleared
by executing interrupt service routine (ISR) or by polling interrupt sources, and generate an interrupt
to the MCU. The specific baud rate generator has the same function with Timer1: it can be used as a
general timer, an overflow event of which can set the flag bit to 1 but cannot generate an interrupt to
the MCU.
In this section, only TimerA, Timer0, Timer1 and Timer2 are introduced. The general timers in extended
UART serial interfaces are introduced in “UART”.
12.1.1. TimerA
TimerA is a 16-bit timer/counter, and has 4 operation modes. It has 3 compare/capture modules, and 3
configurable output units with 8 output modes. Bit TimerA (bit0 of PRCtrl0, 0x2D00) gate controls TimerA.

Figure 12-2 Operation Modes for TimerA

When either bit MC1 or MC0 is not cleared, or the clock source is active, the timer starts counting. In Up
or Up/Down Mode, when the register TACCR0 is cleared, the timer stops running, and it may then be
restarted counting in the up direction from zero when a non-zero value is written into the register TACCR0.
In Up Mode, when the value of the register TACCR0 is changed while the timer is running,
- if the new value is not less than the former value or current counts, the timer will count up to the
new TACCR0 value, and then rolls over to 0000h;
- if the new value is less than current counts, the timer will count to the former value firstly, rolls
over to 0000h, and then counts to the new TACCR0 value.
In Up/Down Mode,
- when the value of the register TACCR0 is changed while the timer is counting in the down direction,
the timer continues its direction until it counts down to 0000h, and then it counts up to the new

V9821 Datasheet
value of TACCR0 from 0000h;
- when the value of the register TACCR0 is changed while the timer is counting in the up direction:
 if the new value is not less than the former value or current counts, the timer counts up to the
new TACCR0 value before counting down;
 if the new value is less than current counts, the timer will count to the former value firstly,
counts back to 0000h, and then counts up to the new TACCR0 value.
In Continuous Mode, the output frequency is configurable, as illustrated in the following figure. This
operation mode can be used to generate independent output frequencies.

Figure 12-3 Configuring Output Frequency in Continuous Mode

As illustrated in the above figure, TACCR0a and TACCR1a are the values of the registers TACCR0 and
TACCR1 at the moment of Ta0 and Ta1, and TACCR0b and TACCR1b are the values of the registers TACCR0
and TACCR1 at the moment of Tb0 (Tb0=Ta0+t0) and Tb1 (Tb1=Ta1+t1), and so forth. When the
interrupt is enabled (CCIE=1, Bit4, TACCTLx), an interrupt will be generated at the moment of Ta0 and Ta1
independantly and at an interval (t0 or t1). The interrupt flags CCIFG (Bit0 of TACCTLx, x=0 and 1) are set
bit respectively. Up to 3 independent output frequencies can be generated using all capture/compare
registers. In this application, when the timer rolls over to 0000h from FFFFh, the bit TAIFG is still set.

12.1.2.2. Timer0/Timer1
Timer0 and Timer1 are two of three embedded timers of 8052 microcontroller. Both timers can act as a
timer to count the MCU clock frequency, or act as a counter to count the input signals. Furthermore,
Timer1 also can act as a baud rate generator of UART1 for serial communication.
There are 4 operation modes for Timer0 and Timer1. They are determined by TMOD (SFR 0x89) and
TCON (SFR 0x88). The four modes are:
- 13-bit timer/counter (Mode 0).
- 16-bit timer/counter (Mode 1).
- 8-bit timer/counter in auto-reload mode (Mode 2).
- Split timer/counter mode (Mode 3, only for Timer0).
The SFRs associated with Timer0/Timer1 are:
- TL0 (SFR 0x8A) and TH0 (SFR 0x8C), the lower byte and higher byte of Timer0.
- TL1 (SFR 0x8B) and TH1 (SFR 0x8D), the lower byte and higher byte of Timer1.

GATE is high, Timer1 runs when this bit is set to 1. If this bit is cleared, Timer1 runs when TR1
TMOD.7 is set to 1, regardless of the state of the pin INT1.
When this bit is cleared, Timer1 acts as a timer to count the clock pulse (clk or clk/12,
Bit6 depending on the bit T1M, CKCON.4). When this bit is set bit, Timer1 acts as a counter

but automatically cleared when the processor vectors to execute the corresponding
Bit3 interrupt service routine located at program address 0x0013 (“Interrupt Resources”). In
IE1 edge-sensitive mode, IE1 also can be cleared by program.

level-sensitive mode, the program cannot write of IE1.
Bit2 IO Interrupt 1 signal type control bit. When IT1 is set bit, IO Interrupt 1 is triggered when
IT1 a 1-to-0 transition of the input signal is detected on the pin INT1. When IT1 is cleared, IO
TCON.2 Interrupt 1 is triggered when a low level input signal is detected on the pin INT1.
IO Interrupt 0 edge flag. If IO Interrupt 0 is configured to be edge-sensitive (IT0 is set to

1), IE0 is set bit when a 1-to-0 transition is detected on the input signal on the pin INT0,
but is automatically cleared when the processor vectors to execute the corresponding
Bit1 interrupt service routine located at program address 0x0003 (“Interrupt Resources”). In
IE0 edge-sensitive mode, IE0 also can be cleared by program.

If IO Interrupt 0 is configured to be level-sensitive (IT0 is cleared), IE0 is set bit when the
level on the pin INT0 is low, but cleared when the level on the pin INT0 is high. In
level-sensitive mode, the program cannot write of IE0.
Bit0 IO Interrupt 0 signal type control bit. When IT0 is set bit, IO Interrupt 0 is triggered when
IT0 a 1-to-0 transition of the input signal is detected on the pin INT0. When IT0 is cleared, IO
TCON.0 Interrupt 0 is triggered when a low level input signal is detected on the pin INT0.
12.1.2.2.1. Timer0/1, Mode 0
In Mode 0, Timer0 and Timer1 act as a 13-bit timer/counter. In this mode, the lower byte of
Timer0/Timer1 (TLx, SFR 0x8A or SFR 0x8B) counts from 0 to 31. When it increments from 31, TLx SFR
(x=0~1) is cleared, and the higher byte of the timer (THx, SFR 0x8C or SFR 0x8D) increments by 1. In
this mode, only 13 bits of Timer0/Timer1, Bit0~Bit4 of TLx SFR and all 8 bits of THx SFR, are active. The
upper three bits of TLx SFR are indeterminate in Mode 0 and must be masked when the software evaluates
the register.
Users can configure the bit (TR0 or TR1, Bit4 or Bit6 of TCON SFR) to run Timer0 or Timer1. In the
V9821, according to the value of the bit C/T (Bit6 or Bit2 of TMOD SFR), Timer0 or Timer1 can act as a
timer or a counter.
When the bit GATE (Bit7 or Bit3 of TMOD SFR) is cleared or set bit, and the input signal on the pin INT0
or INT1 is active, Timer0 or Timer1 runs when TRx (x=0~1, TCON.4 or TCON.6) is set bit.
When the 13-bit timer increments from 0x1FFF, it rolls over to all zeros, and then the bit TF0 (TCON.5)

V9821 Datasheet
or TF1 (TCON.7) is set bit, and an interrupt is generated to MCU.
12.1.2.2.2. Timer0/1, Mode 1
In Mode 1, Timer0 and Timer1 act as 16-bit timers/counters. In this mode, all eight bits of the lower
byte of the timers, TL0 (SFR 0x8A) or TL1 (SFR 0x8B), are active, so, TLx SFR increments from 0 to 255.
When the TLx SFR increments from 255, it is cleared, and the higher byte of the timer, THx SFR (TH0 SFR
or TH1 SFR), increments by 1. The timer will roll over to all zeros when the timer/counter increments from
0xFFFF.

In Mode 2, only the lower byte of Timer0/Timer1 (TLx SFR, x=0~1) acts as an 8-bit timer/counter, while
the higher byte of it (THx SFR, x=0~1) holds a value that will be loaded into TLx SFR every time TLx SFR
overflows. When the value is loaded into the TLx SFR, the timer will increment from the loaded value.
For example, TH1 SFR is set to 200, and when TL1 SFR increments from 255, it rolls to 200, and
recounts from 200 to 255, and then to 200, and repeats.

In Mode 3, Timer0 becomes two completely separate 8-bit timers/counters. When Timer0 is set to work
in this mode, TR0 (TCON.4) and TF0 (TCON.5) are used by TL0 SFR, but TR1 (TCON.6) and TF1 (TCON.7)
are used by TH0 SFR, so Timer1 stops running as a general timer but still can be used as a baud rate
generator.
When Timer0 works in Mode3, Timer1 still can be enabled via configuring its operation mode to Mode
0/1/2, but no interrupt will be generated by it, because the flag TF1 is used by Timer0. When Timer1 is
configured to work in Mode 3, it stops running, but holds its counts.

a number of new functions. The modes for Timer2 are:
- 16-bit timer/counter.

Bit0 registers RCAP2L SFR and RCAP2H SFR when a 1-to-0 transition of the input signal
CP/RL2 on the pin T2EX is detected. When CP/RL2 is cleared, but EXEN2 is set bit, an
T2CON.0
auto-reload event will occur when a 1-to-0 transition of the input signal on the pin
T2EX is detected. If either RCLK or TCLK is set bit, CP/RL2 cannot work, and Timer2

In this mode, users can configure the register T2CON SFR to enable Timer2 to act as a 16-bit timer or
a 16-bit counter (C/T2, T2CON.1), and to enable Timer2 to run (TR2, T2CON.2). In this mode, Timer2
increments from 0000h to FFFFh, and then rolls over to all zeros, setting the flag TF2 (T2CON.7) to 1,
which generate an interrupt to MCU.

In this mode, the MCU must write the reload value to the registers RCAP2L (SFR 0xCA) and RCAP2H
(SFR 0xCB). When the timer increments from FFFFh, the value stored in RCAP2L will be reloaded into the
register TL2 (SFR 0xCC), and the value stored in RCAP2H will be reloaded into the register TH2 (SFR
0xCD), at the same time, TF2 is set bit, which will generate an interrupt to the processor if it is enabled.
When CP/RL2 is cleared, but EXEN2 (T2CON.3) is set bit, an auto-reload event occurs when a 1-to-0

12.2. UART
In V9821, there are 4 active UART serial interfaces on the chip, including UART1 of 8052 microcontroller
and the extended UART2, UART4 and UART5 serial interfaces. Bits UART2, UART4 and UART5 (bit4, bit6
and bit7 of PRCtrl1, 0x2D01) gate controls the corresponding UART serial interfaces.
The UART serial interfaces can work in 4 modes. In Mode 0, the serial interface can only receive data on
the RXD port and output shifting clock on the TXD port. In other modes, the extended UART serial
interfaces can work like UART1 serial interfaces of 8052 microcontroller.
It is recommended to use extended UART interfaces for serial communication.
12.2.1. UART1
UART1 uses Timer1 to generate baud rate, and the bit SMOD1 (EICON.7) controls doubling the baud
rate of UART1.

The SFRs associated with UART1 are:
- SCON1 (SFR 0xC0) – UART1 Control Register.
- SBUF1 (SFR 0xC1) – UART1 Buffer Register.

Bit0 received. In Mode 0, RI_1 is set bit at the end of the 8 th data bit. In Mode1, according
RI_1 to the state of SM2_1, RI_1 is set bit after the last sample of the incoming stop bit. In
SCON1.0 Mode2 and Mode3, RI_1 is set bit at the end of the last sample of the 9 th bit. RI_1
must be cleared by the program.

12.2.2. Extended UART Serial Interfaces
All the extended UART serial interfaces have the same architecture, but only UART2 has an optional 38
kHz carrier wave modulator.
In each extended UART serial interface, there are a general timer (compatible with Timer0) and a baud
rate generator (compatible with Timer1). The overflow of general timer can set a flag bit which will be
cleared by executing interrupt service routine (ISR) or by polling interrupt sources, and generate an
interrupt to the MCU. When the baud rate generator is used as a general timer, it can set the related
overflow flag to 1, but cannot generate an overflow interrupt. As an extended peripheral, there is a specific
control/status register for each UART interface, which can control the baud rate, select the clock sources
for the timers, disable or enable the timers, and show the overflow state of the timers.

program.
Table 12-15 UARTx Buffer Register (SBUF2/SBUF4/SBUF5)
Register R/W Bit Default Description
SBUFx is physically two registers. One is written only and is used to

hold data to be transmitted out of the MCU via the pin TXD2. The
other is read only and is used to hold received data from external
SBUFx R/W Bit[7:0] 0 sources via the pin RXD2. Both mutually exclusive registers use one
address. When UARTx works in the asynchronous and full-duplex
communication mode, it can be used for “read” and “write”
simultaneously.
12.2.2.2. Carrier Wave Modulation on UART2
UART2 has a 38 kHz carrier wave modulator controlled by TXD2 Type Register (Txd2FS). When bit
TXD2CARRY (bit0 of Txd2FS, 0x28CF) is cleared, pin TXD2 will output modulated signals. Users can write
of the carrier wave generation registers to configure the carrier wave frequency and its duty cycle:

𝐶𝐴𝑅𝑅𝐻 + 𝐶𝐴𝑅𝑅𝐿
𝐶𝐴𝑅𝑅𝐻
𝐷𝑢𝑡𝑦𝐶𝐴𝑅𝑅 = Equation 12-2

where, fCARR is the carrier wave frequency; fMCU is MCU clock frequency; DutyCARR is the duty cycle of the
carrier wave; CARRH is the value of registers CARRHH and CARRHL; CARRL is the value of registers
CARRLH and CARRLL.
When the level on the pin TXD2 is low, the modulated signal is output.

12.2.2.3. UART Modes
The UART serial interfaces can work in 4 modes via configuring the mode select bits, for example, SM1
and SM2 of the register SCON2 (0x2826).

generator
All the UART serial interfaces have the same architecture and functions except that:
- Only UART2 has 38kHz carrier wave with its TXD.
- UART1 uses Timer1 as its baud rate generator.
So take UART2 for an example to introduce the work modes for UART serial interfaces.
12.2.2.3.1. Mode0
In Mode0, UART2 receives data on the pin RXD2, and outputs shift clock on the pin TXD2. Data can be
received as soon as the bit REN (bit4 of SCON2, 0x2826) is set bit and the bit RI (bit0 of SCON2, 0x2826)
is cleared. The shift clock is activated and the UART shifts data in on each rising edge of the shift clock until
eight bits have been received. The 8th bit was shifted in, and one machine cycle later, the bit RI is set bit
and the reception stops until the bit RI is cleared by the program.
12.2.2.3.2. Mode1
Mode1 provides standard asynchronous and full-duplex communication. In this mode, a data frame
contains ten bits: one start bit, eight bits of data, and one stop bit. When a data frame is received, the stop
bit is stored in the bit RB8 (bit2 of SCON2, 0x2826). On receive and transmit operation, start with the LSB.
In Mode1, the baud rate is determined by the baud rate generator overflow frequency. UART2 uses a
dedicated baud rate generator, which is compatible with Timer 1. When the baud rate generator overflows,
it generates a clock which is then divided by 16 to generate the baud rate.
2 SMODx
BaudRate= × Overflow Equation 12-3
32
Where,
Overflow is the baud rate generator overflow frequency. As for UART1, Timer1 is the baud rate generator;
as for the extended UART serial interfaces, the specific baud rate generator is used. SMODx, the value of
the bit SMOD0/1, determines to double the baud rate or not.
Generally, the baud rate generator works in the mode of 8-bit timer with auto-reload. The reload value
is stored in the register TH21 (0x2823), which makes the above equation for baud rate (clk/12 is used as
the clock source):

V9821 Datasheet
2SMODx clk
BaudRate = × Equation 12-4
32 12 × (256 - TH21)
where, clk is the MCU clock, and TH21 is the reload value of the register TH21 (0x2823).
The bit T1M (TCON2.5) determines the clock source for the baud rate generator of UART2. When T1M is
set bit, clk is used as the clock source:
2SMODx clk
BaudRate = × Equation 12-5
32 (256 - TH21)
Users can obtain the value of TH21 via the equation:
2SMODx × clk
TH21 = 256 - Equation 12-6
32 × BaudRate
When T1M is cleared, and the baud rate is known, users can obtain the value of TH21 via the following
equation:
2SMODx × clk
TH21 = 256 - Equation 12-7
384 × BaudRate
In Mode1, UART2 begins to transmit data after the program writing data into the register SBUF2
(0x2827). UART2 transmits data on the pin TXD2 in the following order: start bit, eight data bits (LSB
first), stop bit. The bit TI (bit1 of SCON2, 0x2826) will be set bit two clock cycles after the stop bit is
transmitted.
In Mode1, UART2 starts to receive data at the falling edge of a start bit received on the pin RXD2, when
REN (bit4 of SCON2, 0x2826) is set bit. To achieve this, every bit on the pin RXD2 should be sampled
sixteen times at any baud rate. When a falling edge of a start bit is detected, the timer used to generate
the receive clock is reset to synchronize with the received bits. To reject noise, the serial port detects the
values of the three consecutive samples in the middle of each bit. Only more than two same values can
decide the received data bit to be valid. This is especially true for the start bit. If the falling edge on the
pin RXD2 is not verified by a majority decision of three consecutive samples, then the serial port stops
receiving data and waits for another falling edge on RXD2.
When RI (bit0 of SCON2, 0x2826) is cleared, SM2 (bit5 of SCON2, 0x2826) is set bit, and the stop bit
is 1 (if SM2 is cleared, the state of stop bit does not matter), the serial port will write the received byte to
the register SBUF2 (0x2827), load the stop bit into RB8 (bit2 of SCON2, 0x2826), and set the bit RI to 1.
Otherwise, the received data lose; they cannot load data into the register SBUF2 and the bit RB8; and the
bit RI cannot be set bit.
12.2.2.3.3. Mode2
Mode2 provides asynchronous and full-duplex communication. In this mode, the data frame contains
eleven bits: one start bit, eight data bits, one programmable 9th bit, and one stop bit.
When data bits are received or transmitted, start with LSB. As to the transmitting operation, the 9 th bit
is determined by the value of the bit TB8 (bit3 of SCON2, 0x2826). If the 9th bit is used as a parity bit, the
value of the P bit (Bit 0 of PSW SFR) should be moved to TB8.

V9821 Datasheet
In Mode2, the baud rate is either clk/32 or clk/64, determined by the bit SMOD (Bit7 of TCON2, 0x2820).
It can be calculated as follows:
2 SMODx × clk
BaudRate= Equation 12-8
64
In Mode2, UART2 starts transmitting data after the software writing data into the register SBUF2
(0x2827). UART2 transmits data on the pin TXD2 in the following order: the start bit, eight data bits (LSB
first), the 9th bit, then the stop bit. The bit TI (bit1 of SCON2, 0x2826) is set bit when the stop bit has been
transmitted.
In Mode2, receiving data begins at the falling edge of a start bit received on the pin RXD2, when the bit
REN=1 (bit4 of SCON2, 0x2826). To achieve it, every bit on the pin RXD2 should be sampled sixteen times
at any baud rate. When a falling edge of a start bit is detected, the timer used to generate the receive
clock is reset to synchronize with the received bits. To reject noise, the serial port detects the values of the
three consecutive samples in the middle of every bit. Only more than two same values can decide the
received data bit to be valid. This is especially true for the start bit. If the falling edge on the pin RXD2 is
not verified by a majority decision of three consecutive samples, then the serial port stops receiving data
and waits for another falling edge on RXD2.
When RI (bit0 of SCON2) is cleared, SM2 (bit5 of SCON2) is set bit, and the stop bit is 1 (if SM2 is
cleared, the state of stop bit does not matter), the serial port will write the received byte to the register
SBUF2 (0x2827), load the stop bit into RB8 (bit2 of SCON2), and set the bit RI. Otherwise, the received
data lose; they cannot load data into the register SBUF2 and the bit RB8; and the bit RI cannot be set bit.
12.2.2.3.4. Mode3
Mode3 provides asynchronous and full-duplex communication. In this mode, the data frame contains
eleven bits: one start bit, eight data bits, one programmable 9th bit, and one stop bit. When data bits are
received and transmitted, start with LSB.
In Mode3, the data is transmitted or received in the same way that in Mode2. In Mode3, the baud rate
generation is identical to that in Mode1. That is, Mode3 is a combination of the communication protocol in
Mode2 and the baud rate generation in Mode1.
12.2.2.3.5. Multiprocessor Communication
The multiprocessor communication is enabled in Mode2 and Mode3 when the bit SM2 (bit5 of SCON2,
0x2826) is set bit. In the multiprocessor communication mode, the received 9 th bit is stored in the bit RB8
(bit2 of SCON2, 0x2826), and, after the stop bit has been received, UART2 receive interrupt is activated
if RB8 is set bit.
The multiprocessor communication is used to send a block of data from a master to one slave. The
master first transmits an address byte that identifies the target slave. When transmitting an address byte,
the master sets the 9th bit to 1; when transmitting data bytes, the master clears the 9th bit.
When SM2 is set bit, no slave can generate an interrupt when a data byte has been received. However,

V9821 Datasheet
all slaves can generate interrupts when an address byte is received. Every slave can examine the received
address byte to determine whether it is the slave being addressed. Address decoding must be done by the
program during the interrupt service routine. The slave being addressed clears the bit SM2 and prepares
to receive the data bytes. The slaves that are not being addressed leave the bit SM2 set and ignore the
incoming data bytes.

V9821 Datasheet
13. General-Purpose Serial Interface

(GPSI)
The V9821 integrates a general-purpose serial interface (GPSI) that is compliant with I2C protocol.
When bit GPSI (bit6 of PRCtrl0, 0x2D00) is set to 1, pins P9.1 and P9.2 work as the two wires of the
general-purpose serial interface: P9.1 for serial data (SDA), and P9.2 for serial clock (SCL). When pins
P9.1 and P9.2 is used for GPSI wires, P9.1 must be configured to “input enabled”, but no mandatory
requirement on output enable register of P9.1; and P9.2 is “output enabled” automatically.

Figure 13-1 Frame Structure on SDA

As illustrated in Figure 13-1, a frame through the wire SDA is composed of some of the following parts.
- 1-bit START: a falling edge on SDA when SCL holds HIGH sets up a START condition. This bit must be
sent by Master.
- 8-bit DATA byte: 1 bit DATA transferred on 1 SCL clock. A DATA bit is prepared on falling edge of each
SCL clock, and sampled on rising edge of each SCL clock. The endian of byte transfer is defined by bit
Endian (bit4 of SICFG, 0x2F01). 8-bit DATA byte must be followed by 1-bit ACK.
- 1-bit ACK: the ACK bit is prepared on falling edge of an SCL clock, and sampled on rising edge of an
SCL clock. Only the ACK bit transferred by the receiver is valid. HIGH indicates not acknowledged;
LOW indicates acknowledged. 1-bit ACK must be preceded by 8-bit DATA.
- 1-bit STOP or RESTART: to set up a STOP or RESTART condition, it is mandatory to generate a falling
edge of the SCL clock, and then ensure a low level on SDA when SCL holds HIGH to set up a STOP
condition, or a high level on SDA when SCL holds HIGH to set up a RESTART condition. Either bit must
be sent by Master device.
Bit[3:0] of register SICFG (0x2F01) defines the structure of the frame to be transmitted or received.

13.2. Serial Clock Generation

When a START condition is set up, the 16-bit timer embedded in the GPSI unit starts to count the MCU
clock pulses to generate the serial clock (fSCL). The fSCL is defined by the following equation:
fMCU
fSCL = Equation 13-1
4 × (TH + 1)
where fMCU is the clock frequency for MCU operation; TH is the threshold preset in registers SITHH (0x2F03)
and SITHL (0x2F02); fSCL is the serial clock (SCL) frequency.

Figure 13-2 Receive and Transmit Data

When the V9821 communicate with other devices via GPSI, it transmits and receives data
simultaneously.
The data on the wire SDA is in the format of Wire-AND, which means the data is the data from receiver
and transmitter in “AND” logic, but not the state of either. The MCU can read the register SIDAT (0x2F04)
and bit ACK (bit0 of SIFLG, 0x2F05) to acquire the data of the SDA. When GPSI is idle (BUSY, bit1 of SIFLG,
0x2F05, is cleared), writing of register SIDAT (0x2F04) triggers data receive and transmit.
When bit BUSY (bit1 of SIFLG, 0x2F05) is cleared, writing 0xFF or a specific data byte to be transmitted
to register SIDAT (0x2F04) triggers data receive and transmit. Then bit BUSY is set to 1. After data
transmit and receive, bit BUSY is cleared again, and read register SIDAT and bit ACK (bit0 of SIFLG,
0x2F05) to acquire the data from SDA.
13.4. GPSI Interrupt

When IE4=1 (bit4 of ExInt5IE, 0x28A5), EIE.3=1 (SFR 0xE8) and IE.7=1 (SFR 0xA8), a transmit
interrupt will be triggered every time a frame (structure defined by register SICFG) is transmitted, and
MCU will service the interrupt, read bit ACK, and prepares for the next frame transmission.
When IE5=1 (bit5 of ExInt5IE, 0x28A5), EIE.3=1 (SFR 0xE8) and IE.7=1 (SFR 0xA8), writing of
registers located at addresses 0x2F01~0x2F04 when bit BUSY (bit1 of SIACK, 0x2F05) is set to 1, an
illegal data interrupt will be triggered and the write operation is invalid.
SCL holds LOW on interrupt service.
13.5. For I2C Application

The GPSI is I2C compliant. When it is used for I2C application, the V9821 works as Master device to
communicate with other devices connected to the I2C bus. In this case, the starting frame is to select the

V9821 Datasheet
target slave, of which bit[7:1] of 8-bit DATA is slave address byte, and bit0 is read/write control bit (“1”

Figure 13-4 Write Operation

Figure 13-3 and Figure 13-4 depict read and write operation on I2C application when interrupt is enabled.
For example, when the V9821 writes or reads a slave device connected on I2C bus via GPSI, it could be
done following the procedure:
1. Write of registers SITHH/SITHL (0x2F03/0x2F02) to configure fSCL;
2. Write of register SICFG (0x2F01) to enable transmitting START, and clear bit Endian to 0;
3. Write anything to register SIDAT (0x2F04) to trigger to transmit START. During transmission, bit BUSY
is set to 1;
4. When BUSY is cleared, write of register SICFG (0x2F01) to enable transmitting DATA and ACK; write
0x01 to register SIACK (0x2F05); and then write target slave address to bit[7:1] of register SIDAT
(0x2F04) and write 1 (to read) or 0 (to write) to bit0 to trigger transmitting the slave address frame.
During transmission, bit BUSY is set to 1;
5. When BUSY is cleared, read of register SIACK (0x2F05). If it is read out as 0, the target slave device
is selected;
6. Write of register SICFG (0x2F01) to enable transmitting DATA and ACK; write of 0x01 to register
SIACK (0x2F05); and then write the content to be transmitted to register SIDAT (0x2F04) to trigger

V9821 Datasheet
transmitting data frame. During transmission, bit BUSY is set to 1;
7. Repeat step 5 and 6 until all data have been transmitted;
8. Write of register SICFG (0x2F01) to enable transmitting STOP or RESTART;
9. Write anything to register SIDAT (0x2F04) to trigger transmitting bit STOP or RESTART.
The bit STOP ends a serial communication.

The V9821 has an LCD driver which can drive an LCD panel of 4× 17/6× 15 segments (1/3 bias) or 8× 13
segments (1/3 bias or 1/4 bias). CLK3, sourced by the 32.768kHz OSC clock, provides the LCD driver with
the clock pulse. The driver is powered by the regulated voltage output from the 3.3V LDO; the LCD bias
generator composed of an internal resistor ladder generates the LCD waveform voltage; and the LCD
waveform voltage level can be adjusted over the range of 2.7~3.3V with a resolution of 0.1V/lsb.
When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset, or WDT overflow reset occurs, the LCD driver is reset to its default
state.

14.1. Pins for LCD Driver

In the V9821, some pins are multiplexed by SEG/COM signal output, general-purpose input/output
(GPIO) and analog input of M Channel or comparator CB.
When some bits of Table 14-11 are set to 1s, the corresponding pins are used for SEG output. In this
condition, it is mandatory to configure the GPIO ports as “input disabled” and “output disabled” in
corresponding input and output enable registers.
When the pins work as GPIO or analog input of M Channel or comparator CB, the corresponding bits of
Table 14-11 must be cleared to disable SEG output.

V9821 Datasheet
14.2. LCD Timing

In the V9821, the CLK3, sourced by the 32.768-kHz OSC clock, provides the LCD driver with clock pulse
for timing generation. Generally, the crystal oscillator keeps on running until it is powered off, so the LCD
driver keeps on working even in LPM1 state or LPM2 state unless CLK3 is disabled. When the crystal stops
running anomaly when power is still on, the internal RC clock will become the replacement of the OSC
clock to source the LCD driver until the crystal is stimulated to run again.
The CLK3 frequency is divided to generate frame frequency for the waveform. The MCU can configure
bit[1:0] of LCDCtrl (0x2C1E) to select the appropriate frame frequency. By default it is 64Hz.
14.3. LCD Waveform Voltage

In the V9821, the LCD driver is powered by LDO33, and an internal resistor ladder is designed to
generate LCD waveform voltage (VLCD). Users can adjust the waveform voltage via bits VLCD (bit2 of
CtrlLCDV, 0x285E) and LDO3SEL<2:0> configurations.
[LDO3SEL < 2: 0 >]

VLCD = [VLCD] × Equation 14-1
3.3
Where,
VLCD is the LCD waveform voltage;
[LDO3SEL<2:0>] is the output voltage of LDO33. [LDO3SEL<2:0>] is equal to configuration of bits

LDO3SEL<2:0> (bit[5:3] of CtrlLDO, 0x2866);
[VLCD] is the configuration of bit VLCD (bit2 of CtrlLCDV, 0x285E).
Table 14-1 VLCD to Configuration of [LDO3SEL<2:0>] and [VLCD]
[LDO3SEL<2:0>] 3.5V 3.4V 3.3V 3.2V 3.1V 3.0V
3.3V 3.5V 3.4V 3.3V 3.2V 3.1V 3.0V

[VLCD]
3.0V 3.2V 3.1V 3.0V 2.9V 2.8V 2.7V
Users can adjust the resistance value of each resistor in the resistor ladder of the bias voltage
generation circuits via bits DRV1/DRV0 (bit[3:2] of LCDCtrl, 0x2C1E) to adjust the current through the
circuits to change the lightness of the display panel. By default the resistance value is 300 kΩ.
14.4. Display RAM

In the V9821, the display RAM located at addresses of 0x2C00~0x2C1D and 0x2C28~0x2C31 stores
the LCD data. When the SEG/COM driver is enabled (setting bit7 of LCDCtrl to 1), the LCD panel displays
the data immediately they are updated in the RAM. When the SEG/COM driver is disabled (clearing bit7 of
LCDCtrl), the LCD panel displays nothing. When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow event occurs,

V9821 Datasheet
the SEG/COM driver will be reset and the RAM will be cleared.
The LCD driver supports LCD panel of 1/4 duty, 1/6 duty or 1/8 duty. When bits LCDTYPE (bit[5:4] of
LCDCtrl, 0x2C1E) are cleared, an LCD panel of 1/4 Duty should be used. In this application, each byte of
display RAM stores content of 2 LCD segments: lower 4 bits for Seg (n), and higher 4 bits for Seg (n+1).

When bits LCDTYPE (bit[5:4] of LCDCtrl, 0x2C1E) are set to 1, an LCD panel of 1/6 Duty should be used.
In this application, by default every 3 bytes of display RAM store content of 4 LCD segments. But when bit
6COMTYPE (bit6 of LCDCtrl, 0x2C1E) is set to 1, each byte of display RAM stores content of one LCD
segment.

14.5. LCD Drive Waveform

There are 4 resistors in series in the bias voltage generation circuit, which can be configured to work in
1/3 bias mode or 1/4 bias mode.
When an LCD panel of 1/4 or 1/6 duty is applied, only 1/3 bias mode can be used.
When an LCD panel of 1/8 duty is applied, users can configure bit LCDBMOD (bit3 of CtrlBAT, 0x285C)
to disable or enable one resistor in the bias voltage generation circuit to enable the LCD driver to work in
1/3 bias mode or 1/4 bias mode.
When an LCD panel of 1/4 duty is applied, the LCD drive waveform is depicted in the following figure.

V9821 Datasheet
15. GPIO
In the V9821 there are 10 groups, P0~P9, 43 general-purpose input/output ports (GPIO) in total, of
which:
 Ports of Group P0 are multiplexed by general input/output and JTAG interfaces. When the chip
operates in metering mode, besides for general input/output, both P0.2 and P0.3 can be used to wake
up the system from sleeping state. When the chip operates in debugging mode, these ports work as
JTAG interfaces;
 Ports of Group P1 and P2 are multiplexed by general input/output and special functions. Both P1.3 and
P1.4 can be used to wake up the system from sleeping state;
 Ports of Group P3 are multiplexed by general input/output and backplanes of the LCD driver;
 Ports of Group P4 and P5 are multiplexed by general input/output and COM or SEG output of the LCD
driver;
 Ports of Group P6~P8 are multiplexed by general input/output and SEG output of the LCD driver;
 Ports of Group 9 are General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports, which are named Fast IO in this
datasheet. These ports are multiplexed by general input/output and special functions.
All the I/O ports have features:
 Ports of Group P0~P8 can be gate controlled simultaneously; Ports of Group P9 can be gate controlled
independently;
 When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow event occurs, all ports will be reset to their default
states: both input and output are disabled;
 In LPM1 state or LPM2 state, all ports hold their states;
 No pull-up or pull-down resistors are connected internally in all I/O ports.
15.1. P0
In Group P0 there are 4 ports, which are multiplexed by General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and JTAG
interfaces.
When the level on the pin MODE1 is driven low, all ports of this group will work as JTAG interfaces. In this
state, Port P0.0 is used for test data output (TDO); Port P0.1 is used for test data input (TDI); Port P0.2
is used for test mode select (TMS); Port P0.3 is used for test clock input (TCK).
When the level on the pin MODE1 is pulled high, all ports of this group will work as General-Purpose
Input/Output (GPIO) ports, and the input and output enable registers determine the state of each port.
Set bit P0P8 (bit3 of PRCtrl0, 0x2D00) to 1 to gate control ports of Group P0~P8 to lower power
consumption when these ports are not used. Besides, bit IOP0 (bit1 of IOWK, SFR 0xC9) determines both
P0.2 and P0.3 to be used for IO wakeup inputs. See “IO wakeup inputs” for details.

When input is enabled, users can read the state of each I/O port via this register all the time, which is not
affected by the special function of the port. But the state change of an I/O port will lead to value variation
of this register, which consumes more power. So to lower power consumption, it is recommended to
disable data input if no need to read the input data.
15.2. P1
In Group P1 there are 4 ports, which are multiplexed by General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) and
special functions.
The function of each port can be configured via the dedicated special function register. When a port
works as a General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) port, the input and output enable registers determine
its state. Set bit P0P8 (bit3 of PRCtrl0, 0x2D00) to 1 to gate control ports of Group P0~P8 to lower power
consumption when these ports are not used. However, setting this bit to 1 after configuring these ports to
work for special functions has no effect on its functions.

If port P1.3 and/or P1.4 is set to “input enabled” before the system enters LPM1 state or LPM2 state, the
system will be woken up when a transition occurs to either port (either high-to-low or low-to-high, holding
high and low level for at least 4 OSC clock cycles). The wakeup signal holds 8 OSC clock cycles. The
wakeup inputs on these ports are independent. See “IO wakeup input” for details.

15.10. P9
In Group P9 there are 6 ports, which are multiplexed by General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), special
functions and SEG output of the LCD driver.
When the ports work as General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) ports, the ports of Group P9 are different
from those of the above groups. They are accessed in a fast mode. But when a reference pulse of exact
one second width is input to the port P9.1, the input of this port is enabled automatically.
The function of each port can be configured via the register P9FS (SFR 0xAD).
When bit GPSI (bit6 of PRCtrl0, 0x2D00) is set to 1, port P9.1 and P9.2 are used for serial data and clock
delivery for general-purpose serial interface (GPSI). In this condition, P9.1 must be set to “input enabled”;
and P9.2 is set to “output enabled” automatically.
The port P9.0 can be used for SEG output of the LCD driver. When the port works as SEG output of the
LCD driver, in input and output enable registers, P9OE (SFR 0xA4) and P9IE (SFR 0xA5), the
corresponding bit must be configured “input disabled, output disabled”.
Set bit P9 (bit4 of PRCtrl0, 0x2D00) to 1 to gate control ports of Group P9 to lower power consumption
when these ports are not used. However, setting this bit to 1 after configuring these ports to work for
special functions has no effect on its functions.

16. Watchdog Timer (WDT)

In the V9821 the embedded 16-bit watchdog timer (WDT) counting pulses of the 32kHz RC clock. When
the program gets stuck somewhere, the timer overflows and reset the system to cause the program
restart from the beginning.
16.1. Clock for WDT

In the V9821, CLK4, sourced by the 32kHz RC clock, provides clock pulse for the WDT. RC clock cannot
be disabled until the chip is powered off, but CLK4 is enabled or disabled together with CLK1. When CLK4
(together with CLK1) is disabled, which means the system enters LPM1 state or LPM2 state, the WDT
stops running. When the system is woken up by IO/RTC wakeup event or power supply restoration, the
WDT restarts counting from zero.
Table 16-1 Enable/Disable CLK4
SFR 0x80, R/W, Clock Switchover Control Register, SysCtrl SFR
Bit2 When the bit PWRUP is read out as 0, write 0 to the bit MCUFRQ, and then:
SLEEP1 - set SLEEP1 and SLEEP0 to 0b11 or 0b01 to stop CLK1 (together with CLK4) and
0 force the system entering the LPM1 state.
Bit1
- set SLEEP1 and SLEEP0 to 0b10 to stop CLK1 (together with CLK4) and force the
SLEEP0 system entering the LPM2 state.

V9821 Datasheet
16.2. Clearing WDT

When IO/RTC wakeup event, power supply restoration event, POR/BOR or RSTn pin reset occurs, the
WDT is reset, and its counts are cleared. When the reset signal is released, the WDT starts counting from
zero again.
Users can write a program to clear the WDT counts to prevent the WDT from resetting the system when
its counts overflow: write 0xA5 to the register WDTEN (SFR 0xCE) and then 0x5A to the register WDTCLR
(SFR 0xCF) continuously to clear the WDT counts. Immediately the WDT is cleared, it will restart counting
pulses from zero.
SFR 0xCE, W, WDTEN SFR 0xA5
SFR 0xCF, W, WDTCLR SFR 0x5A
16.3. WDT Overflow Reset

Initially, the WDT starts counting pulses from 0. If the counts are not cleared when the WDT counts to
(3× 214), that is about 1.5s, the WDT overflows, a reset pulse of 8 RC clock periods (8/fRC) width is output,
and the system is reset to default state. After the reset, the WDT starts counting from (-214), and then, if
the WDT is still not cleared, the WDT will overflow again when it counts to (3× 214), that is about 2s.
When the WDT overflow reset occurs, the flag bit POR (bit5 of Systate, SFR 0xA1) is set to 1. When other
reset events, not POR/BOR or RSTn pin reset, occurs, this bit will be cleared. In debugging mode, this
reset event is masked.
A WDT overflow event can reset all circuits except the RTC calibration registers, RTC timing registers,
IRAM and XRAM.

17. Real-Time Clock (RTC)

In the V9821, the RTC has features as follows:
 counting the pulses of the 32.768kHz OSC clock;
 calibrating crystal frequency over temperature variation;

 calibrated pulse output every exact one second;
 timing error less than 5ppm over operating temperature range;
 providing real-time clock and calendar, and adjusting the date for leap year automatically.
In the RTC, the registers for calibration and timing cannot be reset by any reset event; and the other
registers will be reset to their default states when POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow event occurs.
In LPM1 state, the RTC keeps running and can be configured to wake up the system at an programmable
interval of 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute, 1~64 seconds, 500ms, 250ms, 125ms or 62.5ms. The wakeup signal
will hold 8 OSC clock periods.

17.1. Reading and Writing of RTC Registers
17.1.1. Writing of RTC
In the V9821, the registers INTRTC (SFR 0x96), RTC calibration registers and RTC timing registers are
protected from writing.
The MCU must write of these registers following exact steps as:
1. writing 0x96 to the register RTCPEN to enable writing of the register RTCPWD;
2. writing 0x57 to the register RTCPWD to enable writing of INTRTC (SFR 0x96), RTC calibration registers
and RTC timing registers;
3. configuring the registers INTRTC (SFR 0x96), RTC calibration registers and RTC timing registers;
4. writing 0x96 to the register RTCPEN to enable writing of the register RTCPWD;
5. writing 0x56 to the register RTCPWD to disable writing of the registers INTRTC (SFR 0x96), RTC
calibration registers and RTC timing registers. 5 OSC clock cycles later, the contents of the registers
are activated. A second write operation can be done to these registers only when the last
configuration is completed.
17.1.2. Reading of RTC
To read the timing registers, the MCU must read the register RDRTC (SFR 0xDA) firstly, waits no less
than 5 OSC clock cycles till the contents of the RTC timing registers are latched, and then read the timing
registers for the time information.
MCU can read the calibration registers directly.
17.2. Timing
When the chip is powered on, the RTC starts to run, and it keeps on running until the system is powered
off.
If the timing registers are not configured, the RTC runs from a random time; otherwise, the RTC runs
from the preset time.
17.3. RTC Interrupts

In the V9821, the RTC can trigger two interrupt events if they are enabled: illegal data interrupt and
pulse output interrupt per second.

V9821 Datasheet
17.3.1. RTC Illegal Data Interrupt
When the RTC illegal data interrupt is enabled (EA=1, EIE.2=1 and ExInt4IE.0=1), an illegal data
interrupt will be triggered when:
 The MCU writes of the registers INTRTC (SFR 0x96), RTC calibration registers and RTC timing registers
when they are still being protected from writing;
 The MCU writes the contents in an illegal format into the registers INTRTC (SFR 0x96), RTC calibration
registers and RTC timing registers when the writing operation is enabled;
The contents of the timing registers are in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format, so 0xF is not considered
as an illegal data.
In both circumstances, the RTC timing registers will hold the contents.
 Data error caused by the system error occurs during the operation. In this circumstance, the MCU
must configure all RTC timing registers consecutively immediately the writing operation is enabled,
and then disable the writing operation to activate the correction.
17.3.2. Pulse Output Interrupt per Second
When EA=1, EIE.1=1 and ExInt3IE.6=1, the pulse output interrupt per second is enabled, and the RTC
will output pulses of 1 second width to the MCU to trigger interrupts.
17.4. PLL Counter

There is a 24-bit PLL counter in the V9821. It can work as a PLL clock divider or a counter, which is
determined by the register PLLCNT (SFR 0xDE).
When the register PLLCNT (SFR 0xDE) is set to 0x00, the PLL counter works as a divider. In this mode,
the PLL counter counts from 0 and increments by 1 every OSC clock cycle. When it counts to the pre-set
value of the PLL clock divider registers, this counter will be cleared, output pulses at a frequency
proportional to the divided PLL clock frequency from Pin22/Pin21/Pin27, and then the counter will start
recounting. The frequency of the pulse can be calculated as follows:
fMCU
fDIV = Equation 17-1
2 × (TH + 1)
Where,
 fDIV, the frequency of the pulse, Hz;
 fMCU, the MCU clock frequency (Hz), which has a relationship with the OSC clock frequency (f OSC)as
follows:
fMCU = K × fOSC Equation 17-2
Where, K is a coefficient, equal to 100/200/400; when the theoretical fMCU is 13.1072MHz, K is 400.
 TH, the preset value of the PLL divider registers (DIVTHH/DIVTHM/DIVTHL). In the default state, the
value of TH is 0, so the MCU clock frequency is divided by 2. The MCU clock frequency can be divided

V9821 Datasheet
25
by up to 2 .
When the register PLLCNT (SFR 0xDE) is configured to 0x01, the PLL counter works as a counter. When
the first low-to-high transition of a reference pulse of exact 1 second width input on Pin57 (SDSP) is
detected, which will configure the register to 0x02 automatically, the counter starts counting from zero.
And then, when the second low-to-high transition of the reference pulse input is detected, the register
PLLCNT (SFR 0xDE) is configured to 0x03 automatically, the PLL counter stops running, and the current
counts is transferred to the PLL clock divider registers to calculate the actual frequency of the pulse.
17.5. Registers
In the RTC, the registers for calibration and timing cannot be reset by any reset event; and the other
registers will be reset when POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow event occurs.

Table 17-9 PLL Counter State Register (PLLCNT, SFR 0xDE)
SFR 0xDE, PLL Counter State Register, PLLCNT, R/W
bit[7:2] 0 R/W When this register is cleared to 0x00, the PLL counter works as a divider.
When the PLL counter increments from 0 to the value of the PLL clock divider
registers, this counter is cleared, outputs a pulse at a frequency proportional
to the divided PLL clock frequency, and then starts recounting.
When this register is set to 0x01, the PLL counter works as a counter. When
bit[1:0] the first low-to-high transition of the reference pulse of exact 1 second width
0 R/W input on Pin57(SDSP) is detected, which will set this register to 0x02
STT<1:0> automatically, the counter starts counting from zero. And then, when the
second low-to-high transition of the reference pulse input is detected, the
register is configured to 0x03 automatically, the PLL counter stops running,
and the current counts is transferred to the PLL clock divider registers to
calculate the actual frequency of the pulse per second.
The time and calendar information is obtained by reading the appropriate register bytes. The contents
of the timing registers, except the register for day of week configuration, are in binary-coded decimal
(BCD) format, of which bit7~bit4 represents the tens digit of the time and calendar, and bit3~bit0
represents the units digit of the time and calendar; for example, 0b1000011 in the register RTCSC
represents 43 seconds. The RTC can provide second, hour, day, week, month and year information. As
such, both RTCSC (seconds) and RTCMiC (minutes) range 0~59, RTCHC (hour) ranges 00~24, RTCDC
(day) ranges 1~31, RTCMoC (month) ranges 1~12 and RTCYC (year) ranges 0~99.

Bit[1:0] IAPHC R/W 0 sampling frequency of phase compensation circuit (fsmpl) is
3.2768MHz, the resolution of the phase compensation is 0.0055°/lsb,
and 1.4° in total of the phase angle error can be calibrated.

Set this bit to 1 to disable the sampling circuits and power/RMS

calculation circuits. In this case, the energy accumulation circuit keeps
on working. So, in an application to accumulate a constant for energy
Bit7 GT R/W 0
accumulation, it is recommended to set this bit to 1 to lower power
consumption further. But please note the threshold for
energy-to-pulse conversion must be set before setting this bit to 1.
When current signal is detected, this bit is set to 1 and holds until bit
Bit6 CST R 0
CLR is set to 1 or DETON is cleared.
After a cycle of current detection, set this bit to 1 and then clear it to
Bit5 CLR R/W 0
clear bit CST.
Bit4 DETON R/W 0 1: enable current detection; 0: disable current detection.

detection.
18.3. Metering Data Registers

When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, all metering data registers are reset to
All metering data registers are readable and writable (R/W). But users must not write of these registers
to avoid unexpected results.
All the default values in this section are in decimal form if not specifically noted. All the time for updating
and settling listed in the tables is appropriate for 50Hz power grid and fMTCLK=3.2768MHz. When the
frequency for metering architecture (fMTCLK) is divided by K, the time for updating and settling must be K
times of that for 3.2768MHz. In 60Hz power grid, the time for updating and settling is 1.2 times of that for
50Hz power grid.

The energy accumulators are of actual 42-bit length. But only the higher 32 bits are readable; and only
the higher 32 bits are valid for write operation and the 10 least significant bits are padded with 0s in write
operation.
When MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz, 1.6384MHz or 819.2kHz, the energy accumulation frequency is
12800Hz; when MTCLK frequency is 32768Hz, the energy accumulation frequency is 2979Hz.
When CF pulse output is enabled, the overflow frequency of the energy accumulators is twice of CF pulse
output frequency. The reading of the energy pulse counter is twice of the number of the output CF pulses.

18.4. Calibration Registers

When POR/BOR, RSTn pin reset or WDT overflow reset occurs, all calibration registers are reset to their
default states.

in the RMS calculation circuits. complement
When MTCLK frequency is lowered to 819.2kHz, the sampling frequency of the enabled band-pass filter in
the RMS calculation circuit is changed to 800Hz and the center frequency is changed to 12.5Hz, which has
a greater attenuation on 50Hz signals and will reduce the accuracy of the RMS calculation and line
frequency measurement. So, if MTCLK frequency is reduced to 819.2kHz, users must disable energy
accumulation, CF pulse output and no-load detection, and then configure this register to 0x911D3C9C.
When MTCLK frequency is reinstated to 3.2768MHz, this register must be set to its default value.

The energy accumulators are of actual 42-bit length, but the threshold registers for energy-to-pulse
conversion are of 32-bit length. So, the threshold registers will be padded with a string of 10 0s on the
right to work as 42-bit registers for computation.
There is an anti-creeping accumulator in the no-load detection circuit. When no-load detection is enabled,
1s are accumulated in this register constantly. When MTCLK frequency is 3.2768MHz, 1.6384MHz or
819.2kHz, the accumulation frequency is 12800Hz; and when MTCLK frequency is 32768Hz, the
accumulation frequency is 2979Hz.
When no-load detection is enabled, the circuit compares the rate at which the anti-creeping accumulator
increments by 1s to that at which the energy accumulators accumulate E1/E2 power or the preset
constant. If the energy accumulator overflows sooner, the anti-creeping accumulator is cleared, and E1 or
E2 path starts to metering energy. Otherwise, the energy accumulator in E1 or E2 path is cleared, and the
path enters creeping state. Users can read bit7 or bit6 of register CRPST (0x287F) to detect the state of
the path.
