D.C. Characteristics
For data in the following tables, note that factors such as oscillator type, operating voltage, operating
frequency, pin load conditions, temperature and program instruction type, etc., can all exert an
influence on the measured values.
Note: When using the characteristic table data, the following notes should be taken into consideration:
1. Any digital inputs are set in a non-floating condition.
2. All measurements are taken under conditions of no load and with all peripherals in an off state.
3. There are no DC current paths.
4. All Standby Current values are taken after a HALT instruction execution thus stopping all instruction execution.
Note: When using the characteristic table data, the following notes should be taken into consideration:
1. Any digital inputs are set in a non-floating condition.
2. All measurements are taken under conditions of no load and with all peripherals in an off state.
3. There are no DC current paths.
4. All Operating Current values are measured using a continuous NOP instruction program loop.
A.C. Characteristics
For data in the following tables, note that factors such as oscillator type, operating voltage, operating
frequency and temperature etc., can all exert an influence on the measured values.
Note: 1. The 3V/5V values for VDD are provided as these are the two selectable fixed voltages at which the HIRC
frequency is trimmed by the writer.
2. The row below the 3V/5V trim voltage row is provided to show the values for the full VDD range
operating voltage. It is recommended that the trim voltage is fixed at 3V for application voltage ranges
from 1.8V to 3.6V and fixed at 5V for application voltage ranges from 3.3V to 5.5V.
3. The minimum and maximum tolerance values provided in the table are only for the frequency at which
the writer trims the HIRC oscillator. After trimming at this chosen specific frequency any change in
HIRC oscillator frequency using the oscillator register control bits by the application program will give a
frequency tolerance to within ±20%.
Note: The 3V value for VDD is provided as this is the fixed voltage at which the LIRC frequency is trimmed by
the writer. The row below the 3V trim voltage row is provided to show the values for the full VDD range
operating voltage.

System Architecture
A key factor in the high-performance features of the Holtek range of microcontrollers is attributed to
their internal system architecture. The device takes advantage of the usual features found within RISC
microcontrollers providing increased speed of operation and enhanced performance. The pipelining
scheme is implemented in such a way that instruction fetching and instruction execution are
overlapped, hence instructions are effectively executed in one cycle, with the exception of branch or
call instructions which need one more cycle. An 8-bit wide ALU is used in practically all instruction
set operations, which carries out arithmetic operations, logic operations, rotation, increment,
decrement, branch decisions, etc. The internal data path is simplified by moving data through the
Accumulator and the ALU. Certain internal registers are implemented in the Data Memory and can
be directly or indirectly addressed. The simple addressing methods of these registers along with
additional architectural features ensure that a minimum of external components is required to provide
a functional I/O and A/D control system with maximum reliability and flexibility. This makes the
device suitable for low-cost, high-volume production for controller applications.

Instruction Fetching
Program Counter
During program execution, the Program Counter is used to keep track of the address of the
next instruction to be executed. It is automatically incremented by one each time an instruction
is executed except for instructions, such as “JMP” or “CALL” that demand a jump to a non-
consecutive Program Memory address. Only the lower 8 bits, known as the Program Counter Low
Register, are directly addressable by the application program.
When executing instructions requiring jumps to non-consecutive addresses such as a jump instruction,
a subroutine call, interrupt or reset, etc., the microcontroller manages program control by loading
the required address into the Program Counter. For conditional skip instructions, once the condition
has been met, the next instruction, which has already been fetched during the present instruction
execution, is discarded and a dummy cycle takes its place while the correct instruction is obtained.
Program Counter
Program Counter High Byte PCL Register
PC10~PC8 PCL7~PCL0
Program Counter
The lower byte of the Program Counter, known as the Program Counter Low register or PCL, is
available for program control and is a readable and writeable register. By transferring data directly
into this register, a short program jump can be executed directly; however, as only this low byte
is available for manipulation, the jumps are limited to the present page of memory that is 256
locations. When such program jumps are executed it should also be noted that a dummy cycle
will be inserted. Manipulating the PCL register may cause program branching, so an extra cycle is
needed to pre-fetch.
Stack
This is a special part of the memory which is used to save the contents of the Program Counter only.
The stack is organized into multiple levels and neither part of the data nor part of the program space,
and is neither readable nor writeable. The activated level is indexed by the Stack Pointer, and is
neither readable nor writeable. At a subroutine call or interrupt acknowledge signal, the contents of
the Program Counter are pushed onto the stack. At the end of a subroutine or an interrupt routine,
signaled by a return instruction, RET or RETI, the Program Counter is restored to its previous value
from the stack. After a device reset, the Stack Pointer will point to the top of the stack.
If the stack is full and an enabled interrupt takes place, the interrupt request flag will be recorded but
the acknowledge signal will be inhibited. When the Stack Pointer is decremented, by RET or RETI,
the interrupt will be serviced. This feature prevents stack overflow allowing the programmer to use
the structure more easily. However, when the stack is full, a CALL subroutine instruction can still
be executed which will result in a stack overflow. Precautions should be taken to avoid such cases
which might cause unpredictable program branching.
If the stack is overflow, the first Program Counter save in the stack will be lost.

Structure
The Program Memory has a capacity of 2K×16 bits. The Program Memory is addressed by the
Program Counter and also contains data, table information and interrupt entries. Table data, which can
be set in any location within the Program Memory, is addressed by a separate table pointer register.

Special Vectors
Within the Program Memory, certain locations are reserved for the reset and interrupts. The location
000H is reserved for use by the device reset for program initialisation. After a device reset is
initiated, the program will jump to this location and begin execution.
Look-up Table
Any location within the Program Memory can be defined as a look-up table where programmers
can store fixed data. To use the look-up table, the table pointer must first be configured by placing
the address of the look up data to be retrieved in the table pointer registers, TBLP and TBHP. These
registers define the total address of the look-up table.
After setting up the table pointer, the table data can be retrieved from the Program Memory using
the “TABRD [m]” or “TABRDL[m]” instructions respectively. When the instruction is executed,
the lower order table byte from the Program Memory will be transferred to the user defined
Data Memory register [m] as specified in the instruction. The higher order table data byte from
the Program Memory will be transferred to the TBLH special register. Any unused bits in this
transferred higher order byte will be read as “0”.
The accompanying diagram illustrates the addressing data flow of the look-up table.

The Program Memory can be programmed serially in-circuit using this 4-wire interface. Data
is downloaded and uploaded serially on a single pin with an additional line for the clock. Two
additional lines are required for the power supply and one line for the reset. The technical details
regarding the in-circuit programming of the device is beyond the scope of this document and will be
supplied in supplementary literature.
During the programming process, the user must take care of the ICPDA and ICPCK pins for data
and clock programming purposes to ensure that no other outputs are connected to these two pins.

Data Memory
The Data Memory is a volatile area of 8-bit wide RAM internal memory and is the location where
temporary information is stored.
Structure
Categorised into two types, the first of these is an area of RAM, known as the Special Function Data
Memory. These registers have fixed locations and are necessary for correct operation of the device.
Many of these registers can be read from and written to directly under program control, however,
some remain protected from user manipulation. The second area of Data Memory is known as the
General Purpose Data Memory, which is reserved for general purpose use. All locations within this
area are read and write accessible under program control.
The overall Data Memory is subdivided into two banks, which are implemented in 8-bit wide
Memory. The Special Purpose Data Memory registers are accessible in Bank 0, with the exception
of the EEC register at address 40H, which is only accessible in Bank 1. Switching between the
different Data Memory banks is achieved by properly setting the Bank Pointer to the correct value.
The start address of the Data Memory for the device is the address 00H. The address range of the
Special Purpose Data Memory for the device is from 00H to 7FH while the address range of the
General Purpose Data Memory is from 80H to FFH.

Bank Pointer – BP
The Data Memory is divided into two banks, Banks 0 and Bank 1. Selecting the required Data
Memory area is achieved using the bit 0 of the Bank Pointer register. The Data Memory is initialised
to Bank 0 after a reset, except for a WDT time-out reset in the IDLE or SLEEP Mode, in which case,
the Data Memory bank remains unaffected. Directly addressing the Data Memory will always result
in Bank 0 being accessed irrespective of the value of the Bank Pointer. Accessing data from Bank 1
must be implemented using the indirect addressing.

Accumulator – ACC
The Accumulator is central to the operation of any microcontroller and is closely related with
operations carried out by the ALU. The Accumulator is the place where all intermediate results
from the ALU are stored. Without the Accumulator it would be necessary to write the result of
each calculation or logical operation such as addition, subtraction, shift, etc., to the Data Memory
resulting in higher programming and timing overheads. Data transfer operations usually involve
the temporary storage function of the Accumulator; for example, when transferring data between
one user-defined register and another, it is necessary to do this by passing the data through the
Accumulator as no direct transfer between two registers is permitted.

EEPROM Registers
Three registers control the overall operation of the internal EEPROM Data Memory. These are the
address register, EEA, the data register, EED and a single control register, EEC. As both the EEA
and EED registers are located in Bank 0, they can be directly accessed in the same way as any
other Special Function Register. The EEC register however, being located in Bank 1, can only be
read from or written to indirectly using the MP1 Memory Pointer and Indirect Addressing Register,
IAR1. Because the EEC control register is located at address 40H in Bank 1, the MP1 Memory
Pointer must first be set to the value 40H and the Bank Pointer register, BP, set to the value, 01H,
before any operations on the EEC register are executed.

Write Protection
Protection against inadvertent write operation is provided in several ways. After the device is
powered-on the Write Enable bit in the control register will be cleared preventing any write
operations. Also at power-on the Bank Pointer register, BP, will be reset to zero, which means that
Data Memory Bank 0 will be selected. As the EEPROM control register is located in Bank 1, this
adds a further measure of protection against spurious write operations. During normal program
operation, ensuring that the Write Enable bit in the control register is cleared will safeguard against
incorrect write operations.
EEPROM Interrupt
The EEPROM write interrupt is generated when an EEPROM write cycle has ended. The EEPROM
interrupt must first be enabled by setting the DEE bit in the relevant interrupt register. When an
EEPROM write cycle ends, the DEF request flag will be set high. If the global and EEPROM
interrupts are enabled and the stack is not full, a jump to the EEPROM Interrupt vector will take
place. When the interrupt is serviced the EEPROM interrupt flag will be automatically reset.
Programming Considerations
Care must be taken that data is not inadvertently written to the EEPROM. Protection can be
enhanced by ensuring that the Write Enable bit is normally cleared to zero when not writing. Also
the Bank Pointer register, BP, could be normally cleared to zero as this would inhibit access to Bank
1 where the EEPROM control register exists. Although certainly not necessary, consideration might
be given in the application program to the checking of the validity of new write data by a simple
read back process.
When writing data the WR bit must be set high immediately after the WREN bit has been set high,
to ensure the write cycle executes correctly. The global interrupt bit EMI should also be cleared
before a write cycle is executed and then re-enabled after the write cycle starts. Note that the device
should not enter the IDLE or SLEEP mode until the EEPROM read or write operation is totally
complete. Otherwise, the EEPROM read or write operation will fail.
Programming Examples
Oscillators
Various oscillator options offer the user a wide range of functions according to their various
application requirements. The flexible features of the oscillator functions ensure that the best
optimisation can be achieved in terms of speed and power saving. Oscillator operations are selected
through a combination of configuration option and the relevant control registers.
Oscillator Overview
In addition to being the source of the main system clock the oscillators also provide clock sources
for the Watchdog Timer and Time Base Interrupts. The fully integrated internal oscillators, requiring
no external components, are provided to form a wide range of both fast and slow system oscillators.
The higher frequency oscillator provides higher performance but carry with it the disadvantage of
higher power requirements, while the opposite is of course true for the lower frequency oscillator.
With the capability of dynamically switching between fast and slow system clock, the device has the
flexibility to optimize the performance/power ratio, a feature especially important in power sensitive
portable applications.

System Clocks
The device has many different clock sources for both the CPU and peripheral function operation. By
providing the user with a wide range of clock options using register programming, a clock system
can be configured to obtain maximum application performance.
The main system clock, can come from either a high frequency, fH, or low frequency, fSUB, source,
and is selected using the CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SCC register. The high speed system clock is
sourced from the HIRC oscillator. The low speed system clock source is sourced from the LIRC
oscillator. The other choice, which is a divided version of the high speed system oscillator has a
range of fH/2~fH/64.

Note: When the system clock source fSYS is switched to fSUB from fH, the high speed oscillator will
stop to conserve the power or continue to oscillate to provide the clock source, fH~fH/64, for
peripheral circuit to use, which is determined by configuring the corresponding high speed
oscillator enable control bit.
FAST Mode
This is one of the main operating modes where the microcontroller has all of its functions
operational and where the system clock is provided by the high speed oscillator. This mode operates
allowing the microcontroller to operate normally with a clock source which will come from the high
speed oscillator, HIRC. The high speed oscillator will however first be divided by a ratio ranging
from 1 to 64, the actual ratio being selected by the CKS2~CKS0 bits in the SCC register. Although
a high speed oscillator is used, running the microcontroller at a divided clock ratio reduces the
operating current.
SLOW Mode
This is also a mode where the microcontroller operates normally although now with a slower speed
clock source. The clock source used will be from fSUB, which is derived from the LIRC oscillator.
SLEEP Mode
The SLEEP Mode is entered when a HALT instruction is executed and when the FHIDEN and
FSIDEN bit are low. In the SLEEP mode the CPU will be stopped. The fSUB clock provided to the
peripheral function will also be stopped, too. However the fLIRC clock can continues to operate if the
WDT function is enabled.
IDLE0 Mode
The IDLE0 Mode is entered when a HALT instruction is executed and when the FHIDEN bit in
the SCC register is low and the FSIDEN bit in the SCC register is high. In the IDLE0 Mode the
CPU will be switched off but the low speed oscillator will be turned on to drive some peripheral
functions.
IDLE1 Mode
The IDLE1 Mode is entered when a HALT instruction is executed and when the FHIDEN bit in the
SCC register is high and the FSIDEN bit in the SCC register is high. In the IDLE1 Mode the CPU
will be switched off but both the high and low speed oscillators will be turned on to provide a clock
source to keep some peripheral functions operational.
IDLE2 Mode
The IDLE2 Mode is entered when a HALT instruction is executed and when the FHIDEN bit in the
SCC register is high and the FSIDEN bit in the SCC register is low. In the IDLE2 Mode the CPU
will be switched off but the high speed oscillator will be turned on to provide a clock source to keep
some peripheral functions operational.
Control Registers
The SCC and HIRCC registers are used to control the system clock and the corresponding oscillator
configurations.

Wake-up
To minimise power consumption the device can enter the SLEEP or any IDLE Mode, where the
CPU will be switched off. However, when the device is woken up again, it will take a considerable
time for the original system oscillator to restart, stabilise and allow normal operation to resume.
After the system enters the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, it can be woken up from one of various sources
listed as follows:
• An external reset
• An external falling edge on Port A
• A system interrupt
• A WDT overflow
If the system is woken up by an external reset, the device will experience a full system reset,
however, if the device is woken up by a WDT overflow, a Watchdog Timer reset will be initiated.
Although both of these wake-up methods will initiate a reset operation, the actual source of the
wake-up can be determined by examining the TO and PDF flags. The PDF flag is cleared by a
system power-up or executing the clear Watchdog Timer instructions and is set when executing the
“HALT” instruction. The TO flag is set if a WDT time-out occurs, and causes a wake-up that only
resets the Program Counter and Stack Pointer, the other flags remain in their original status.
Each pin on Port A can be set using the PAWU register to permit a negative transition on the pin
to wake-up the system. When a pin wake-up occurs, the program will resume execution at the
instruction following the “HALT” instruction. If the system is woken up by an interrupt, then two
possible situations may occur. The first is where the related interrupt is disabled or the interrupt
is enabled but the stack is full, in which case the program will resume execution at the instruction
following the “HALT” instruction. In this situation, the interrupt which woke-up the device will not
be immediately serviced, but will rather be serviced later when the related interrupt is finally enabled
or when a stack level becomes free. The other situation is where the related interrupt is enabled and
the stack is not full, in which case the regular interrupt response takes place. If an interrupt request
flag is set high before entering the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, the wake-up function of the related
interrupt will be disabled.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is provided to prevent program malfunctions or sequences from jumping to
unknown locations, due to certain uncontrollable external events such as electrical noise.

Under normal program operation, a Watchdog Timer time-out will initialise a device reset and set
the status bit TO. However, if the system is in the SLEEP or IDLE Mode, when a Watchdog Timer
time-out occurs, the TO bit in the status register will be set and only the Program Counter and Stack
Pointer will be reset. Four methods can be adopted to clear the contents of the Watchdog Timer. The
first is a WDTC software reset, which means a certain value except 01010B and 10101B written into
the WE4~WE0 bits, the second is using the Watchdog Timer software clear instruction, the third
is via a HALT instruction. The last is an external hardware reset, which means a low level on the
external reset pin if the external reset pin function is selected by configuring the RSTC register.
There is only one method of using software instruction to clear the Watchdog Timer. That is to use
the single “CLR WDT” instruction to clear the WDT.
The maximum time-out period is when the 218 division ratio is selected. With a 32kHz LIRC
oscillator clock divided by 8 as its source clock, this will give a maximum watchdog period of
around 66s for the 218 division ratio, and a minimum timeout of 64ms for the 28 division ration.
Watchdog Timer
Reset Functions
There are several ways in which a microcontroller reset can occur, through events occurring both
internally and externally.
Power-on Reset
The most fundamental and unavoidable reset is the one that occurs after power is first applied to
the microcontroller. As well as ensuring that the Program Memory begins execution from the first
memory address, a power-on reset also ensures that certain other registers are preset to known
conditions. All the I/O port and port control registers will power up in a high condition ensuring that
all pins will be first set to inputs.
VDD
Power-on Reset
tRSTD
SST Time-out
For most applications a resistor connected between VDD and the RES pin and a capacitor connected
between VSS and the RES pin will provide a suitable external reset circuit. Any wiring connected to
the RES pin should be kept as short as possible to minimise any stray noise interference.
For applications that operate within an environment where more noise is present the Enhanced Reset
Circuit shown is recommended.

the case of other resets, the Program Counter will reset to zero and program execution initiated from
this point.

Internal Reset
There is an internal reset control register, RSTC, which is used to provide a reset when the device
operates abnormally due to the environmental noise interference. If the content of the RSTC register
is set to any value other than 01010101B or 10101010B, it will reset the device after a delay time,
tSRESET. After power on the register will have a value of 01010101B.

Internal Reset
The different kinds of resets all affect the internal registers of the microcontroller in different ways.
To ensure reliable continuation of normal program execution after a reset occurs, it is important to
know what condition the microcontroller is in after a particular reset occurs. The following table
describes how each type of reset affects each of the microcontroller internal registers. Note that as
more than one package type exists, the table will reflect the situation for the larger package type.
Input/Output Ports
Holtek microcontrollers offer considerable flexibility on their I/O ports. With the input or output
designation of every pin fully under user program control, pull-high selections for all ports and
wake-up selections on certain pins, the user is provided with an I/O structure to meet the needs of a
wide range of application possibilities.
The device provides bidirectional input/output lines labeled with port names PA~PC. These I/O
ports are mapped to the RAM Data Memory with specific addresses as shown in the Special Purpose
Data Memory table. All of these I/O ports can be used for input and output operations. For input
operation, these ports are non-latching, which means the inputs must be ready at the T2 rising edge
of instruction “MOV A, [m]”, where m denotes the port address. For output operation, all the data is
latched and remains unchanged until the output latch is rewritten.

Pull-high Resistors
Many product applications require pull-high resistors for their switch inputs usually requiring the
use of an external resistor. To eliminate the need for these external resistors, all I/O pins, when
configured as a digital input have the capability of being connected to an internal pull-high resistor.
These pull-high resistors are selected using the LVPUC and PxPU registers, and are implemented
using weak PMOS transistors. The PxPU register is used to determine whether the pull-high
function is enabled or not while the LVPUC register is used to select the pull-high resistor value for
low voltage power supply applications.
Note that the pull-high resistor can be controlled by the relevant pull-high control register only when
the pin-shared functional pin is selected as a digital input or NMOS output. Otherwise, the pull-high
resistors cannot be enabled.
Not that the LVPU bit in the LVPUC register is only available when the corresponding pin pull-high
function is enabled. If the pull-high function is disabled, the LVPU bit has no effect on selecting the
pull-high resistor value.

Port A Wake-up
The HALT instruction forces the microcontroller into the SLEEP or IDLE Mode which preserves
power, a feature that is important for battery and other low-power applications. Various methods
exist to wake-up the microcontroller, one of which is to change the logic condition on one of the Port
A pins from high to low. This function is especially suitable for applications that can be woken up
via external switches. Each pin on Port A can be selected individually to have this wake-up feature
using the PAWU register.
Note that the wake-up function can be controlled by the wake-up control registers only when the pin
is selected as a general purpose input and the MCU enters the IDLE or SLEEP mode.

Pin-shared Functions
The flexibility of the microcontroller range is greatly enhanced by the use of pins that have more
than one function. Limited numbers of pins can force serious design constraints on designers but by
supplying pins with multi-functions, many of these difficulties can be overcome. For these pins, the
desired function of the multi-function I/O pins is selected by a series of registers via the application
program control.

Programming Considerations
Within the user program, one of the first things to consider is port initialisation. After a reset, all
of the I/O data and port control registers will be set high. This means that all I/O pins will default
to an input state, the level of which depends on the other connected circuitry and whether pull-
high selections have been chosen. If the port control registers are then programmed to set some
pins as outputs, these output pins will have an initial high output value unless the associated port
data registers are first programmed. Selecting which pins are inputs and which are outputs can be
achieved byte-wide by loading the correct values into the appropriate port control register or by
programming individual bits in the port control register using the “SET [m].i” and “CLR [m].i”
instructions. Note that when using these bit control instructions, a read-modify-write operation takes
place. The microcontroller must first read in the data on the entire port, modify it to the required new
bit values and then rewrite this data back to the output ports.
Port A has the additional capability of providing wake-up function. When the device is in the SLEEP
or IDLE Mode, various methods are available to wake the device up. One of these is a high to low
transition of any of the Port A pins. Single or multiple pins on Port A can be set to have this function.
Timer Modules – TM
One of the most fundamental functions in any microcontroller device is the ability to control
and measure time. To implement time related functions each device includes a Timer Module,
abbreviated to the name TM. The TM is a multi-purpose timing unit and serves to provide operations
such as Timer/Counter, Input Capture, Compare Match Output and Single Pulse Output as well as
being the functional unit for the generation of PWM signals. The TM has two individual interrupts.
The addition of input and output pins for the TM ensures that users are provided with timing units
with a wide and flexible range of features.
Introduction
The device contains one Periodic Type TM having a reference name of PTM. The general features to
the Periodic TM will be described in this section and the detailed operation will be described in the
Periodic type TM section. The main features of the PTM are summarised in the accompanying table.

TM Function Summary
TM Operation
The Periodic type TM offers a diverse range of functions, from simple timing operations to
PWM signal generation. The key to understanding how the PTM operates is to see it in terms of
a free running counter whose value is then compared with the value of pre-programmed internal
comparators. When the free running counter has the same value as the pre-programmed comparator,
known as a compare match situation, a PTM interrupt signal will be generated which can clear the
counter and perhaps also change the condition of the PTM output pin. The internal PTM counter is
driven by a user selectable clock source, which can be an internal clock or an external pin.
TM Clock Source
The clock source which drives the main counter in the PTM can originate from various sources. The
selection of the required clock source is implemented using the PTCK2~PTCK0 bits in the PTM
control registers. The clock source can be a ratio of the system clock fSYS or the fLIRC_PTM, fLIRC/8
clock source or the external PTCK pin. The PTCK pin clock source is used to allow an external
signal to drive the PTM as an external clock source or for event counting.
TM Interrupts
The Periodic type TM has two internal interrupts, one for each of the internal comparator A or
comparator P, which generate a PTM interrupt when a compare match condition occurs. When a
PTM interrupt is generated it can be used to clear the counter and also to change the state of the
PTM output pin.
TM External Pins
The Periodic type TM has two input pins, with the label PTCK and PTPI respectively. The PTM
input pin, PTCK, is essentially a clock source for the PTM and is selected using the PTCK2~PTCK0
bits in the PTMC0 register. This external PTM input pin allows an external clock source to drive the
internal PTM. The PTCK input pin can be chosen to have either a rising or falling active edge. The
PTCK pin is also used as the external trigger input pin in single pulse output mode.
The other PTM input pin, PTPI, is the capture input whose active edge can be a rising edge, a
falling edge or both rising and falling edges and the active edge transition type is selected using the
PTIO1~PTIO0 bits in the PTMC1 register. There is another capture input, PTCK, for PTM capture
input mode, which can be used as the external trigger input source except the PTPI pin.
The PTM has two output pins with the label PTP and PTPB. The PTPB pin outputs the inverted
signal of the PTP. When the PTM is in the Compare Match Output Mode, these pins can be
controlled by the PTM to switch to a high or low level or to toggle when a compare match situation
occurs. The external PTP and PTPB output pins are also the pins where the PTM generates the
PWM output waveform.
As the PTM input and output pins are pin-shared with other functions, the PTM input and output
functions must first be selected using the relevant pin-shared function selection bits described in the
Pin-shared Function section as well as the functional control bit in the Periodic Type TM section.

Programming Considerations
The TM Counter Registers and the Capture/Compare CCRA and CCRP registers, all have a low
and high byte structure. The high bytes can be directly accessed, but as the low bytes can only be
accessed via an internal 8-bit buffer, reading or writing to these register pairs must be carried out in
a specific way. The important point to note is that data transfer to and from the 8-bit buffer and its
related low byte only takes place when a write or read operation to its corresponding high byte is
executed.
As the CCRA and CCRP registers are implemented in the way shown in the following diagram and
accessing these register pairs is carried out in a specific way as described above, it is recommended
to use the “MOV” instruction to access the CCRA and CCRP low byte registers, named PTMAL and
PTMRPL, using the following access procedures. Accessing the CCRA or CCRP low byte registers
without following these access procedures will result in unpredictable values.

Periodic TM Operation
The Periodic Type TM core is a 16-bit count-up counter which is driven by a user selectable internal
or external clock source. There are also two internal comparators with the names, Comparator A
and Comparator P. These comparators will compare the value in the counter with CCRP and CCRA
registers. The CCRP and CCRA comparators are 16-bit wide whose value is respectively compared
with all counter bits.
The only way of changing the value of the 16-bit counter using the application program, is to
clear the counter by changing the PTON bit from low to high. The counter will also be cleared
automatically by a counter overflow or a compare match with one of its associated comparators.
When these conditions occur, a PTM interrupt signal will also usually be generated. The Periodic
Type TM can operate in a number of different operational modes, can be driven by different clock
sources including an input pin and can also control the output pins. All operating setup conditions
are selected using relevant internal registers.

To select this mode, bits PTM1 and PTM0 in the PTMC1 register should be set to “11” respectively.
The Timer/Counter Mode operates in an identical way to the Compare Match Output Mode
generating the same interrupt flags. The exception is that in the Timer/Counter Mode the PTM
output pin is not used. Therefore the above description and Timing Diagrams for the Compare
Match Output Mode can be used to understand its function. As the PTM output pins are not used in
this mode, the pins can be used as normal I/O pins or other pin-shared functions.

If the SAINS2~SAINS0 bits are set to “000” or “100~111”, the external analog channel input is
selected to be converted and the SACS1~SACS0 bits can determine which actual external channel
is selected to be converted. If the SAINS2~SAINS0 bits are set to “001”, the VBG voltage is selected
to be converted. Note that if the internal analog signal is selected to be converted, the external input
channel determined by the SACS1~SACS0 bits must be switched to other pin-shared funcions by
properly configuring the relevant pin-shared function control bits.

A/D Converter Input Signal Selection
Controlling the power on/off function of the A/D converter circuitry is implemented using the
ADCEN bit in the SADC0 register. This bit must be set high to power on the A/D converter. When
the ADCEN bit is set high to power on the A/D converter internal circuitry a certain delay, as
indicated in the timing diagram, must be allowed before an A/D conversion is initiated. Even if
no pins are selected for use as A/D inputs, if the ADCEN bit is high, then some power will still be
consumed. In power conscious applications it is therefore recommended that the ADCEN is set low
to reduce power consumption when the A/D converter function is not being used.

• Step 4
If the A/D input signal comes from the external channel input selected by configuring the SAINS
bit field, the corresponding pin should be configured as A/D input function by configuring the
relevant pin-shared function control bits. The desired analog channel then should be selected by
configuring the SACS bit field. After this step, go to Step 6.
• Step 5
Before the A/D input signal is selected to come from the internal analog signal by configuring
the SAINS bit field, the external input pin must be disabled by properly configuring the relevant
pin-shared function control bits. The desired internal analog signal then can be selected by
configuring the SAINS bit field. After this step, go to Step 6.
• Step 6
Select the reference voltage source by configuring the SAVRS1~SAVRS0 bits in the SADC1
register. If the A/D power supply voltage is selected, the external reference input pin function
must be disabled by properly configuring the corresponding pin-shared control bits.
• Step 7
Select A/D converter output data format by setting the ADRFS bit in the SADC0 register.
• Step 8
If the A/D conversion interrupt is used, the interrupt control registers must be correctly
configured to ensure the A/D interrupt function is active. The master interrupt control bit, EMI,
and the A/D conversion interrupt control bit, ADE, must both be set high in advance.
• Step 9
The A/D conversion procedure can now be initialized by setting the START bit from low to high
and then low again.
• Step 10
If A/D conversion is in progress, the ADBZ flag will be set high. After the A/D conversion
process is complete, the ADBZ flag will go low and then the output data can be read from
SADOH and SADOL registers.
Note: When checking for the end of the conversion process, if the method of polling the ADBZ bit
in the SADC0 register is used, the interrupt enable step above can be omitted.
Programming Considerations
During microcontroller operations where the A/D converter is not being used, the A/D internal
circuitry can be switched off to reduce power consumption, by clearing bit ADCEN to 0 in the
SADC0 register. When this happens, the internal A/D converter circuits will not consume power
irrespective of what analog voltage is applied to their input lines. If the A/D converter input lines are
used as normal I/Os, then care must be taken as if the input voltage is not at a valid logic level, then
this may lead to some increase in power consumption.
The diagram shows the ideal transfer function between the analog input value and the digitised
output value for the A/D converter. Except for the digitised zero value, the subsequent digitised
values will change at a point 0.5 LSB below where they would change without the offset, and the
last full scale digitised value will change at a point 1.5 LSB below the VREF level.
Note that here the VREF voltage is the actual A/D converter reference voltage determined by the
SAVRS field.

LVD Register
The Low Voltage Detector function is controlled using a single register with the name LVDC. Three
bits in this register, VLVD2~VLVD0, are used to select one of eight fixed voltages below which
a low voltage condition will be determined. A low voltage condition is indicated when the LVDO
bit is set. If the LVDO bit is low, this indicates that the VDD voltage is above the preset low voltage
value. The LVDEN bit is used to control the overall on/off function of the low voltage detector.
Setting the bit high will enable the low voltage detector. Clearing the bit to zero will switch off the
internal low voltage detector circuits. As the low voltage detector will consume a certain amount of
power, it may be desirable to switch off the circuit when not in use, an important consideration in
power sensitive battery powered applications.

LVD Operation
The Low Voltage Detector function operates by comparing the power supply voltage, VDD, with a
pre-specified voltage level defined by the LVDC register. This has a range of between 1.8V and 4.0V.
When the power supply voltage, VDD, falls below this pre-determined value, the LVDO bit will be
set high indicating a low power supply voltage condition. When the device is in the SLEEP mode,
the low voltage detector will be disabled even if the LVDEN bit is high. After enabling the Low
Voltage Detector, a time delay tLVDS should be allowed for the circuitry to stabilise before reading the
LVDO bit. Note also that as the VDD voltage may rise and fall rather slowly, at the voltage nears that
of VLVD, there may be multiple bit LVDO transitions.

LVD Operation
The Low Voltage Detector also has its own interrupt providing an alternative means of low voltage
detection, in addition to polling the LVDO bit. The interrupt will only be generated after a delay
of tLVD after the LVDO bit has been set high by a low voltage condition, i.e., VDD falls below the
preset LVD voltage. In this case, the LVF interrupt request flag will be set, causing an interrupt to be
generated. This will cause the device to wake-up from the IDLE Mode, however if the Low Voltage
Detector wake up function is not required then the LVF flag should be first set high before the device
enters the IDLE Mode.
Interrupts
Interrupts are an important part of any microcontroller system. When an external event or an
internal function such as a Timer Module or an A/D converter requires microcontroller attention,
their corresponding interrupt will enforce a temporary suspension of the main program allowing the
microcontroller to direct attention to their respective needs. The device contains several external
interrupt and internal interrupt functions. The external interrupts are generated by the action of the
external INT0~INT1 pins, while the internal interrupts are generated by various internal functions
including the TM, Time Bases, LVD, EEPROM and the A/D converter.
Interrupt Registers
Overall interrupt control, which basically means the setting of request flags when certain
microcontroller conditions occur and the setting of interrupt enable bits by the application
program, is controlled by a series of registers, located in the Special Purpose Data Memory, as
shown in the accompanying table. The number of registers falls into two categories. The first is the
INTC0~INTC2 registers which set the primary interrupts, the second is the INTEG register to set
the external interrupt trigger edge type.
Each register contains a number of enable bits to enable or disable individual registers as well as
interrupt flags to indicate the presence of an interrupt request. The naming convention of these
follows a specific pattern. First is listed an abbreviated interrupt type, then the (optional) number of
that interrupt followed by either an “E” for enable/disable bit or “F” for request flag.

Interrupt Operation
When the conditions for an interrupt event occur, such as a TM Comparator P or Comparator A
match or A/D conversion completion etc., the relevant interrupt request flag will be set. Whether
the request flag actually generates a program jump to the relevant interrupt vector is determined by
the condition of the interrupt enable bit. If the enable bit is set high then the program will jump to
its relevant vector; if the enable bit is zero then although the interrupt request flag is set an actual
interrupt will not be generated and the program will not jump to the relevant interrupt vector. The
global interrupt enable bit, if cleared to zero, will disable all interrupts.
When an interrupt is generated, the Program Counter, which stores the address of the next instruction
to be executed, will be transferred onto the stack. The Program Counter will then be loaded with a
new address which will be the value of the corresponding interrupt vector. The microcontroller will
then fetch its next instruction from this interrupt vector. The instruction at this vector will usually
be a “JMP” which will jump to another section of program which is known as the interrupt service
routine. Here is located the code to control the appropriate interrupt. The interrupt service routine
must be terminated with a “RETI”, which retrieves the original Program Counter address from
the stack and allows the microcontroller to continue with normal execution at the point where the
interrupt occurred.
The various interrupt enable bits, together with their associated request flags, are shown in the
accompanying diagrams with their order of priority. All interrupt sources have their own individual
vector. Once an interrupt subroutine is serviced, all the other interrupts will be blocked, as the global
interrupt enable bit, EMI bit will be cleared automatically. This will prevent any further interrupt
nesting from occurring. However, if other interrupt requests occur during this interval, although the
interrupt will not be immediately serviced, the request flag will still be recorded.
If an interrupt requires immediate servicing while the program is already in another interrupt service
routine, the EMI bit should be set after entering the routine, to allow interrupt nesting. If the stack
is full, the interrupt request will not be acknowledged, even if the related interrupt is enabled, until
the Stack Pointer is decremented. If immediate service is desired, the stack must be prevented from
becoming full. In case of simultaneous requests, the accompanying diagram shows the priority that
is applied. All of the interrupt request flags when set will wake-up the device if it is in SLEEP or
IDLE Mode, however to prevent a wake-up from occurring the corresponding flag should be set
before the device is in SLEEP or IDLE Mode.

Interrupt Structure
External Interrupts
The external interrupts are controlled by signal transitions on the pins INT0 and INT1. An external
interrupt request will take place when the external interrupt request flags, INT0F~INT1F, are set,
which will occur when a transition, whose type is chosen by the edge select bits, appears on the
external interrupt pins. To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address,
the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and respective external interrupt enable bit, INT0E~INT1E,
must first be set. Additionally the correct interrupt edge type must be selected using the INTEG
register to enable the external interrupt function and to choose the trigger edge type. As the external
interrupt pins are pin-shared with I/O pins, they can only be configured as external interrupt pins if
their external interrupt enable bit in the corresponding interrupt register has been set and the external
interrupt pin is selected by the corresponding pin-shared function selection bits. The pin must also
be set as an input by setting the corresponding bit in the port control register. When the interrupt is
enabled, the stack is not full and the correct transition type appears on the external interrupt pin, a
subroutine call to the external interrupt vector, will take place. When the interrupt is serviced, the
external interrupt request flags, INT0F~INT1F, will be automatically reset and the EMI bit will be
automatically cleared to disable other interrupts. Note that any pull-high resistor selections on the
external interrupt pins will remain valid even if the pin is used as an external interrupt input.
The INTEG register is used to select the type of active edge that will trigger the external interrupt.
A choice of either rising or falling or both edge types can be chosen to trigger an external interrupt.
Note that the INTEG register can also be used to disable the external interrupt function.
TM Interrupts
The Periodic Type TM has two interrupts, one comes from the comparator A match situation and
the other comes from the comparator P match situation. For the Periodic Type TM there are two
interrupt request flags and two enable control bits. A PTM interrupt request will take place when
any of the PTM request flags are set, a situation which occurs when a PTM comparator P or A match
situation happens.
To allow the program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable
bit, EMI, and the PTM Interrupt enable bit must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack
is not full and a PTM comparator match situation occurs, a subroutine call to the PTM Interrupt
vector location, will take place. When the PTM interrupt is serviced, the PTM interrupt request flags
will be automatically reset and the EMI bit will be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.

LVD Interrupt
An LVD Interrupt request will take place when the LVD Interrupt request flag, LVF, is set, which
occurs when the Low Voltage Detector function detects a low power supply voltage. To allow the
program to branch to its respective interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and
the Low Voltage Interrupt enable bit, LVE, must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack
is not full and a low voltage condition occurs, a subroutine call to the LVD Interrupt vector, will take
place. When the Low Voltage Interrupt is serviced, the LVF flag will be automatically cleared. The
EMI bit will also be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.
EEPROM Interrupt
An EEPROM Interrupt request will take place when the EEPROM Interrupt request flag, DEF, is set,
which occurs when an EEPROM Write cycle ends. To allow the program to branch to its respective
interrupt vector address, the global interrupt enable bit, EMI, and EEPROM Interrupt enable bit,
DEE, must first be set. When the interrupt is enabled, the stack is not full and an EEPROM Write
cycle ends, a subroutine call to the EEPROM Interrupt vector will take place. When the EEPROM
Interrupt is serviced, the EEPROM Interrupt flag, DEF, will be automatically cleared. The EMI bit
will also be automatically cleared to disable other interrupts.
Programming Considerations
By disabling the relevant interrupt enable bits, a requested interrupt can be prevented from being
serviced, however, once an interrupt request flag is set, it will remain in this condition in the
interrupt register until the corresponding interrupt is serviced or until the request flag is cleared by
the application program.
It is recommended that programs do not use the “CALL” instruction within the interrupt service
subroutine. Interrupts often occur in an unpredictable manner or need to be serviced immediately.
If only one stack is left and the interrupt is not well controlled, the original control sequence will be
damaged once a CALL subroutine is executed in the interrupt subroutine.
Every interrupt has the capability of waking up the microcontroller when it is in the SLEEP or IDLE
Mode, the wake up being generated when the interrupt request flag changes from low to high. If it is
required to prevent a certain interrupt from waking up the microcontroller then its respective request
flag should be first set high before enter SLEEP or IDLE Mode.
As only the Program Counter is pushed onto the stack, then when the interrupt is serviced, if the
contents of the accumulator, status register or other registers are altered by the interrupt service
program, their contents should be saved to the memory at the beginning of the interrupt service
routine.
To return from an interrupt subroutine, either a RET or RETI instruction may be executed. The RETI
instruction in addition to executing a return to the main program also automatically sets the EMI
bit high to allow further interrupts. The RET instruction however only executes a return to the main
program leaving the EMI bit in its present zero state and therefore disabling the execution of further
interrupts.
Configuration Options
Configuration options refer to certain options within the MCU that are programmed into the device
during the programming process. During the development process, these options are selected using
the HT-IDE software development tools. As these options are programmed into the device using
the hardware programming tools, once they are selected they cannot be changed later using the
application program. All options must be defined for proper system function, the details of which are
shown in the table.

1 HIRC Frequency Selection – fHIRC: 2MHz, 4MHz or 8MHz
Note: When the HIRC has been configured at a frequency shown in this table, it is recommended to
configure the HIRC1 and HIRC0 bits in the HIRCC register to select the same frequency to
ensure a higher HIRC frequency accuracy specified in the A.C. characteristics.

Instruction Set
Introduction
Central to the successful operation of any microcontroller is its instruction set, which is a set of
program instruction codes that directs the microcontroller to perform certain operations. In the case
of Holtek microcontroller, a comprehensive and flexible set of over 60 instructions is provided to
enable programmers to implement their application with the minimum of programming overheads.
For easier understanding of the various instruction codes, they have been subdivided into several
functional groupings.
Instruction Timing
Most instructions are implemented within one instruction cycle. The exceptions to this are branch,
call, or table read instructions where two instruction cycles are required. One instruction cycle is
equal to 4 system clock cycles, therefore in the case of an 8MHz system oscillator, most instructions
would be implemented within 0.5μs and branch or call instructions would be implemented within
1μs. Although instructions which require one more cycle to implement are generally limited to
the JMP, CALL, RET, RETI and table read instructions, it is important to realize that any other
instructions which involve manipulation of the Program Counter Low register or PCL will also take
one more cycle to implement. As instructions which change the contents of the PCL will imply a
direct jump to that new address, one more cycle will be required. Examples of such instructions
would be "CLR PCL" or "MOV PCL, A". For the case of skip instructions, it must be noted that if
the result of the comparison involves a skip operation then this will also take one more cycle, if no
skip is involved then only one cycle is required.
Arithmetic Operations
The ability to perform certain arithmetic operations and data manipulation is a necessary feature of
most microcontroller applications. Within the Holtek microcontroller instruction set are a range of
add and subtract instruction mnemonics to enable the necessary arithmetic to be carried out. Care
must be taken to ensure correct handling of carry and borrow data when results exceed 255 for
addition and less than 0 for subtraction. The increment and decrement instructions INC, INCA, DEC
and DECA provide a simple means of increasing or decreasing by a value of one of the values in the
destination specified.
Bit Operations
The ability to provide single bit operations on Data Memory is an extremely flexible feature of all
Holtek microcontrollers. This feature is especially useful for output port bit programming where
individual bits or port pins can be directly set high or low using either the "SET [m].i" or "CLR [m].i"
instructions respectively. The feature removes the need for programmers to first read the 8-bit output
port, manipulate the input data to ensure that other bits are not changed and then output the port with
the correct new data. This read-modify-write process is taken care of automatically when these bit
operation instructions are used.
Other Operations
In addition to the above functional instructions, a range of other instructions also exist such as
the "HALT" instruction for Power-down operations and instructions to control the operation of
the Watchdog Timer for reliable program operations under extreme electric or electromagnetic
environments. For their relevant operations, refer to the functional related sections.

Instruction Definition
DAA [m] Decimal-Adjust ACC for addition with result in Data Memory
Description Convert the contents of the Accumulator value to a BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) value
resulting from the previous addition of two BCD variables. If the low nibble is greater than 9
or if AC flag is set, then a value of 6 will be added to the low nibble. Otherwise the low nibble
remains unchanged. If the high nibble is greater than 9 or if the C flag is set, then a value of 6
will be added to the high nibble. Essentially, the decimal conversion is performed by adding
00H, 06H, 60H or 66H depending on the Accumulator and flag conditions. Only the C flag
may be affected by this instruction which indicates that if the original BCD sum is greater than
100, it allows multiple precision decimal addition.
Operation [m] ← ACC + 00H or
[m] ← ACC + 06H or
[m] ← ACC + 60H or
[m] ← ACC + 66H
Affected flag(s) C
NOP No operation
Description No operation is performed. Execution continues with the next instruction.
Operation No operation
Affected flag(s) None
RET A,x Return from subroutine and load immediate data to ACC
Description The Program Counter is restored from the stack and the Accumulator loaded with the specified
immediate data. Program execution continues at the restored address.
Operation Program Counter ← Stack
ACC ← x
Affected flag(s) None
RLCA [m] Rotate Data Memory left through Carry with result in ACC
Description Data in the specified Data Memory and the carry flag are rotated left by 1 bit. Bit 7 replaces the
Carry bit and the original carry flag is rotated into the bit 0. The rotated result is stored in the
Accumulator and the contents of the Data Memory remain unchanged.
Operation ACC.(i+1) ← [m].i; (i=0~6)
ACC.0 ← C
C ← [m].7
Affected flag(s) C
RRCA [m] Rotate Data Memory right through Carry with result in ACC
Description Data in the specified Data Memory and the carry flag are rotated right by 1 bit. Bit 0 replaces
the Carry bit and the original carry flag is rotated into bit 7. The rotated result is stored in the
Accumulator and the contents of the Data Memory remain unchanged.
Operation ACC.i ← [m].(i+1); (i=0~6)
ACC.7 ← C
C ← [m].0
Affected flag(s) C
SBCM A,[m] Subtract Data Memory from ACC with Carry and result in Data Memory
Description The contents of the specified Data Memory and the complement of the carry flag are
subtracted from the Accumulator. The result is stored in the Data Memory. Note that if the
result of subtraction is negative, the C flag will be cleared to 0, otherwise if the result is
positive or zero, the C flag will be set to 1.
Operation [m] ← ACC − [m] − C
Affected flag(s) OV, Z, AC, C
SDZA [m] Skip if decrement Data Memory is zero with result in ACC
Description The contents of the specified Data Memory are first decremented by 1. If the result is 0, the
following instruction is skipped. The result is stored in the Accumulator but the specified
Data Memory contents remain unchanged. As this requires the insertion of a dummy
instruction while the next instruction is fetched, it is a two cycle instruction. If the result is not 0,
the program proceeds with the following instruction.
Operation ACC ← [m] − 1
Skip if ACC=0
Affected flag(s) None
SIZA [m] Skip if increment Data Memory is zero with result in ACC
Description The contents of the specified Data Memory are first incremented by 1. If the result is 0, the
following instruction is skipped. The result is stored in the Accumulator but the specified
Data Memory contents remain unchanged. As this requires the insertion of a dummy
instruction while the next instruction is fetched, it is a two cycle instruction. If the result is not
0 the program proceeds with the following instruction.
Operation ACC ← [m] + 1
Skip if ACC=0
Affected flag(s) None
SUBM A,[m] Subtract Data Memory from ACC with result in Data Memory
Description The specified Data Memory is subtracted from the contents of the Accumulator. The result is
stored in the Data Memory. Note that if the result of subtraction is negative, the C flag will be
cleared to 0, otherwise if the result is positive or zero, the C flag will be set to 1.
Operation [m] ← ACC − [m]
Affected flag(s) OV, Z, AC, C
