8-Bit One-Time Programmable (OTP) Microcontroller

Y
General Description
The COP8780C, COP8781C and COP8782C are members

of the COPSTM 8-bit microcontroller family. They are fully
static microcontrollers, fabricated using double-metal, double poly silicon gate microCMOS EPROM technology.
These devices are available as UV erasable or One Time
Programmable (OTP). These low cost microcontrollers are
complete microcomputers containing all system timing, interrupt logic, EPROM, RAM, and I/O necessary to implement dedicated control functions in a variety of applications.
Features include an 8-bit memory mapped architecture, MICROWIRE/PLUSTM serial I/O, a 16-bit timer/counter with
associated 16-bit autoreload/capture register, and a multisourced interrupt. Each I/O pin has software selectable options to adapt the device to the specific application. These
devices operate over a voltage range of 4.5V to 6.0V. An
efficient, regular instruction set operating at a 1 ms instruction cycle rate provides optimal throughput.
The COP8780C, COP8781C and COP8782C can be configured to EMULATE the COP880C, COP840C and COP820C
microcontrollers.

Pin Descriptions
Pins G1 and G2 currently do not have any alternate functions.
VCC and GND are the power supply pins.

CKI is the clock input. This can come from an external
source, a R/C generated oscillator or a crystal (in conjunction with CKO). See Oscillator description.
RESET is the master reset input. See Reset description.
PORT D is an 8-bit output port that is preset high when

RESET goes low. Care must be exercised with the D2 pin
operation. At reset, the external load on this pin must ensure that the output voltage stay above 0.7 VCC to prevent
the chip from entering special modes. Also, keep the external loading on D2 to less than 1000 pF.
PORT I is an 8-bit Hi-Z input port. The 28-pin device does

not have a full complement of PORT I pins. The unavailable
pins are not terminated i.e., they are floating. A read operation for these unterminated pins will return unpredictable
values. The user must ensure that the software takes this
into account by either masking or restricting the accesses to
bit operations. The unterminated PORT I pins will draw power only when addressed.
PORT L is an 8-bit I/O port.
PORT C is a 4-bit I/O port.
Three memory locations are allocated for the L, G and C
ports, one each for data register, configuration register and
the input pins. Reading bits 47 of the C-Configuration register, data register, and input pins returns undefined data.
There are two registers associated with the L and C ports: a
data register and a configuration register. Therefore, each L
and C I/O bit can be individually configured under software
control as shown below:

Functional Description
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the internal architecture. Data paths are illustrated in simplified form to depict
how the various logic elements communicate with each other in implementing the instruction set of the device.
ALU AND CPU REGISTERS
The ALU can do an 8-bit addition, subtraction, logical or
shift operation in one cycle time.
There are five CPU registers:
A is the 8-bit Accumulator register
PU is the upper 7 bits of the program counter (PC)
PL is the lower 8 bits of the program counter (PC)
B is the 8-bit address register, can be auto incremented or
decremented.
X is the 8-bit alternate address register, can be incremented
or decremented.
SP is the 8-bit stack pointer, which points to the subroutine/
interrupt stack in RAM. The SP must be initialized with software (usually to RAM address 06F Hex with 128 bytes of
on-chip RAM selected, or to RAM address 02F Hex with 64
bytes of on-chip RAM selected). The SP is used with the
subroutine call and return instructions, and with the interrupts.
B, X and SP registers are mapped into the on-chip RAM.
The B and X registers are used to address the on-chip RAM.
The SP register is used to address the stack in RAM during
subroutine calls and returns.
On the 20- and 28-pin parts, it is recommended that all bits

of Port C be configured as outputs to minimize current.
PORT G is an 8-bit port with 6 I/O pins (G0G5) and 2 input
pins (G6, G7). All eight G-pins have Schmitt Triggers on the
inputs.
There are two registers associated with the G port: a data
register and a configuration register. Therefore, each G port
bit can be individually configured under software control as
shown below:

PROGRAM MEMORY
The device contains 4096 bytes of UV erasable or OTP
EPROM memory. This memory is mapped in the program
memory address space from 0000 to 0FFF Hex. The program memory may contain either instructions or data constants, and is addressed by the 15-bit program counter (PC).
The program memory can be indirectly read by the LAID
(Load Accumulator Indirect) instruction for table lookup of
constant data.
All locations in the EPROM program memory will contain
0FF Hex (all 1s) after the device is erased. OTP parts are
shipped with all locations already erased to 0FF Hex. Unused EPROM locations should always be programmed to 00
Hex so that the software trap can be used to halt runaway
program operation.
The device can be configured to inhibit external reads of the
program memory. This is done by programming the security
bit in the ECON (EPROM configuration) register to zero. See
the ECON REGISTER section for more details.
Since G6 and G7 are input only pins, any attempt by the

user to configure them as outputs by writing a one to the
configuration register will be disregarded. Reading the G6
and G7 configuration bits will return zeros. The device will
be placed in the HALT mode by writing a one to the G7 bit in
the G-port data register.
Six pins of Port G have alternate features:
G0 INTR (an external interrupt)
G3 TIO (timer/counter input/output)
G4 SO (MICROWIRE/PLUS serial data output)
G5 SK (MICROWIRE/PLUS clock I/O)
G6 SI (MICROWIRE/PLUS serial data input)
G7 CKO crystal oscillator output (selected by programming
the ECON register) or HALT Restart/general purpose
input
DATA MEMORY
The data memory address space includes on-chip RAM,
I/O, and registers. Data memory is addressed directly by
instructions, or indirectly by means of the B, X, or SP point-
Functional Description (Continued)

ers. The device can be configured to have either 64 or 128
bytes of RAM, depending on the value of the RAM SIZE
bit in the ECON (EPROM CONFIGURATION) register. The
sixteen bytes of RAM located at data memory address 0F0
0FF are designated as registers. These sixteen registers
can be decremented and tested with the DRSZ (Decrement
Register and Skip if Zero) instruction.
The three pointers X, B, and SP are memory mapped into
this register address space at addresses 0FC, 0FE, and
0FD respectively. The remaining registers are available for
general usage.
Any bit of data memory can be directly set, reset or tested.
All of the I/O registers and control registers (except A and
PC) are memory mapped. Consequently, any of the I/O bits
or control register bits can be directly and individually set,
reset, or tested.
RESET
The RESET input when pulled low initializes the microcontroller. Initialization will occur whenever the RESET input is
pulled low. Upon initialization, the Ports L, G and C are
placed in the TRI-STATE mode and the Port D is set high.
The PC, PSW and CNTRL registers are cleared. The data
and configuration registers for Ports L, G and C are cleared.
The external RC network shown in Figure 4 should be used
to ensure that the RESET pin is held low until the power
supply to the chip stabilizes.
Note: RAM contents are undefined upon power-up.
ECON (EPROM CONFIGURATION) REGISTER

The ECON register is used to configure the user selectable
clock, security, and RAM size options. The register can be
programmed and read only in EPROM programming mode.
Therefore, the register should be programmed at the same
time as the program memory locations 0000 through 0FFF
Hex. UV erasable parts are shipped with 0FF Hex in this
register while the OTP parts are shipped with 07F Hex in
this register. Erasing the EPROM program memory also
erases the ECON register.
The device has a security feature which, when enabled, prevents reading of the EPROM program memory. The security
bit in the ECON register determines whether security is enabled or disabled. If the security option is enabled, then any
attempt to externally read the contents of the EPROM will
result in the value E0 Hex being read from all program memory locations. If the security option is disabled, the contents
of the internal EPROM may be read. The ECON register is
readable regardless of the state of the security bit.
The format of the ECON register is as follows:

INTERRUPT CONTROL
The GIE (global interrupt enable) bit enables the interrupt
function. This is used in conjunction with ENI and ENTI to
select one or both of the interrupt sources. This bit is reset
when interrupt is acknowledged.
ENI and ENTI bits select external and timer interrupts respectively. Thus the user can select either or both sources
to interrupt the microcontroller when GIE is enabled.
IEDG selects the external interrupt edge (0 e rising edge,
1 e falling edge). The user can get an interrupt on both
rising and falling edges by toggling the state of IEDG bit
after each interrupt.
IPND and TPND bits signal which interrupt is pending. After
an interrupt is acknowledged, the user can check these two
bits to determine which interrupt is pending. This permits the
interrupts to be prioritized under software. The pending flags
have to be cleared by the user. Setting the GIE bit high
inside the interrupt subroutine allows nested interrupts.
The software interrupt does not reset the GIE bit. This
means that the controller can be interrupted by other interrupt sources while servicing the software interrupt.
C. R/C Oscillator
CKI can be configured as a single pin RC controlled oscillator. In RC oscillator mode, G7 is available as a general purpose input and/or HALT restart control.
Table III shows the variation in the oscillator frequencies as
functions of the component (R and C) values.
HALT MODE
The device supports a power saving mode of operation:
HALT. The controller is placed in the HALT mode by setting
the G7 data bit, alternatively the user can stop the clock
input. (Stopping the clock input will draw more current than
setting the G7 data bit.) In the HALT mode all internal processor activities including the clock oscillator are stopped.
The fully static architecture freezes the state of the controller and retains all information until continuing. In the HALT
mode, power requirements are minimal as it draws only
leakage currents and output current. The applied voltage
(VCC) may be decreased down to Vr (minimum RAM retention voltage) without altering the state of the machine.
There are two ways to exit the HALT mode: via the RESET
or by the G7 pin. A low on the RESET line reinitializes the
microcontroller and starts execution from address 0000H. In
external and RC oscillator modes, a low to high transition on
the G7 pin also causes the microcontroller to come out of
the HALT mode. Execution resumes at the address following the HALT instruction. Except for the G7 data bit, which
gets reset, all RAM locations retain the values they had prior
to execution of the HALT instruction. It is required that the
first instruction following the HALT instruction be a
NOP in order to synchronize the clock.
INTERRUPT PROCESSING
The interrupt, once acknowledged, pushes the program
counter (PC) onto the stack and the stack pointer (SP) is
decremented twice. The Global Interrupt Enable (GIE) bit is
reset to disable further interrupts. The microcontroller then
vectors to the address 00FFH and resumes execution from
that address. This process takes 7 cycles to complete. At
the end of the interrupt subroutine, any of the following
three instructions return the processor back to the main program: RET, RETSK or RETI. Either one of the three instructions will pop the stack into the program counter (PC). The
stack pointer is then incremented twice. The RETI instruction additionally sets the GIE bit to re-enable further interrupts.
Any of the three instructions can be used to return from a
hardware interrupt subroutine. The RETSK instruction
should be used when returning from a software interrupt
subroutine to avoid entering an infinite loop.
INTERRUPTS
The device has a sophisticated interrupt structure to allow
easy interface to the real world. There are three possible
interrupt sources, as shown below.
A maskable interrupt on external G0 input (positive or negative edge sensitive under software control)
A maskable interrupt on timer underflow or timer capture
A non-maskable software/error interrupt on opcode zero
Note: There is always the possiblity of an interrupt occurring during an instruction which is attempting to reset the GIE bit or any other interrupt
enable bit. If this occurs when a single cycle instruction is being used
to reset the interrupt enable bit, the interrupt enable bit will be reset
but an interrupt may still occur. This is because interrupt processing
is started at the same time as the interrupt bit is being reset. To avoid
this scenario, the user should always use a two, three, or four cycle
instruction to reset interrupt enable bits.
TL/DD/11299 9
FIGURE 6. Interrupt Block Diagram

The shift clock can be selected from either an internal
source or an external source. Operating the MICROWIRE/
PLUS interface with the internal clock source is called the
Master mode of operation. Operating the MICROWIRE/
PLUS interface with an external shift clock is called the
Slave mode of operation.
The CNTRL register is used to configure and control the
MICROWIRE/PLUS mode. To use the MICROWIRE/PLUS ,
the MSEL bit in the CNTRL register is set to one. The SK
clock rate is selected by the two bits, SL0 and SL1, in the
CNTRL register. Table IV details the different clock rates
that may be selected.
DETECTION OF ILLEGAL CONDITIONS

The device incorporates a hardware mechanism that allows
it to detect illegal conditions which may occur from coding
errors, noise and brown out voltage drop situations. Specifically, it detects cases of executing out of undefined EPROM area and unbalanced stack situations.
Reading an undefined EPROM location returns 00 (hexadecimal) as its contents. The opcode for a software interrupt is
also 00. Thus a program accessing undefined EPROM
will cause a software interrupt.
Reading an undefined RAM location returns an FF (hexadecimal). The subroutine stack on the device grows down for
each subroutine call. By initializing the stack pointer to the
top of RAM, the first unbalanced return instruction will cause
the stack pointer to address undefined RAM. As a result the
program will attempt to execute from FFFF (hexadecimal),
which is an undefined EPROM location and will trigger a
software interrupt.
TABLE IV
MICROWIRE/PLUS
MICROWIRE/PLUS is a serial synchronous bidirectional
communications interface. The MICROWIRE/PLUS capability enables the device to interface with any of National
Semiconductors MICROWIRE peripherals (i.e. A/D converters, display drivers, EEPROMS, etc.) and with other microcontrollers which support the MICROWIRE/PLUS interface. It consists of an 8-bit serial shift register (SIO) with
serial data input (SI), serial data output (SO) and serial shift
clock (SK). Figure 7 shows the block diagram of the MICROWIRE/PLUS interface.

MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION
Setting the BUSY bit in the PSW register causes the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangement to start shifting the data. It
gets reset when eight data bits have been shifted. The user
may reset the BUSY bit by software to allow less than 8 bits
to shift. The device may enter the MICROWIRE/PLUS
mode either as a Master or as a Slave. Figure 8 shows how
two device microcontrollers and several peripherals may be
interconnected using the MICROWIRE/PLUS arrangement.
Master MICROWIRE/PLUS Operation
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Master mode of operation the
shift clock (SK) is generated internally by the device. The
MICROWIRE/PLUS Master always initiates all data exchanges (Figure 8) . The MSEL bit in the CNTRL register
must be set to enable the SO and SK functions on the G
Port. The SO and SK pins must also be selected as outputs
by setting appropriate bits in the Port G configuration register. Table V summarizes the bit settings required for Master
mode of operation.
SLAVE MICROWIRE/PLUS OPERATION
In the MICROWIRE/PLUS Slave mode of operation the SK
clock is generated by an external source. Setting the MSEL
TL/DD/1129910
FIGURE 7. MICROWIRE/PLUS Block Diagram
TL/DD/11299 11
FIGURE 8. MICROWIRE/PLUS Application

bit in the CNTRL register enables the SO and SK functions
on the G Port. The SK pin must be selected as an input and
the SO pin selected as an output pin by appropriately setting
up the Port G configuration register. Table V summarizes
the settings required to enter the Slave mode of operation.
The user must set the BUSY flag immediately upon entering
the Slave mode. This will ensure that all data bits sent by
the Master will be shifted properly. After eight clock pulses
the BUSY flag will be cleared and the sequence may be
repeated (Figure 8).
MODE 1. TIMER WITH AUTO-LOAD REGISTER

In this mode of operation, the timer T1 counts down at the
instruction cycle rate. Upon underflow the value in the register R1 gets automatically reloaded into the timer which continues to count down. The timer underflow can be programmed to interrupt the microcontroller. A bit in the control
register CNTRL enables the TIO (G3) pin to toggle upon
timer underflows. This allows the generation of square-wave
outputs or pulse width modulated outputs under software
control (Figure 9) .
TABLE V
MODE 2. EXTERNAL COUNTER

In this mode, the timer T1 becomes a 16-bit external event
counter. The counter counts down upon an edge on the TIO
pin. Control bits in the register CNTRL program the counter
to decrement either on a positive edge or on a negative
edge. Upon underflow the contents of the register R1 are
automatically copied into the counter. The underflow can
also be programmed to generate an interrupt (Figure 9) .

MODE 3. TIMER WITH CAPTURE REGISTER

Timer T1 can be used to precisely measure external frequencies or events in this mode of operation. The timer T1
counts down at the instruction cycle rate. Upon the occurrence of a specified edge on the TIO pin the contents of the
timer T1 are copied into the register R1. Bits in the control
register CNTRL allow the trigger edge to be specified either
as a positive edge or as a negative edge. In this mode the
user can elect to be interrupted on the specified trigger
edge (Figure 10) .
TIMER/COUNTER
The device has a powerful 16-bit timer with an associated
16-bit register enabling it to perform extensive timer functions. The timer T1 and its register R1 are each organized
as two 8-bit read/write registers. Control bits in the register
CNTRL allow the timer to be started and stopped under
software control. The timer-register pair can be operated in
one of three possible modes. Table VI details various timer
operating modes and their requisite control settings.

TIMER PWM APPLICATION
Figure 11 shows how a minimal component D/A converter
can be built out of the Timer-Register pair in the Auto-Reload mode. The timer is placed in the Timer with auto reload mode and the TIO pin is selected as the timer output.
At the outset the TIO pin is set high, the timer T1 holds the
on time and the register R1 holds the signal off time. Setting
TRUN bit starts the timer which counts down at the instruction cycle rate. The underflow toggles the TIO output and
copies the off time into the timer, which continues to run. By
alternately loading in the on time and the off time at each
successive interrupt a PWM frequency can be easily generated.

Addressing Modes
REGISTER INDIRECT
This is the normal mode of addressing for the device. The
operand is the memory location addressed by the B register
or X register.
DIRECT
The instruction contains an 8-bit address field that directly
points to the data memory location for the operand.
IMMEDIATE
The instruction contains an 8-bit immediate field as the operand.
REGISTER INDIRECT
(AUTO INCREMENT AND DECREMENT)
This is a register indirect mode that automatically increments or decrements the B or X register after executing the
instruction.
TL/DD/1129914
FIGURE 11. Timer Application
RELATIVE
This mode is used for the JP instruction, the instruction field
is added to the program counter to get the new program
location. JP has a range of b31 to a 32 to allow a one byte
relative jump (JP a 1 is implemented by a NOP instruction).
There are no pages when using JP, all 15 bits of PC are
used.

Bytes and Cycles per

Instruction
Most instructions are single byte (with immediate addressing mode instruction taking two bytes).
Most single instructions take one cycle time to execute.
Skipped instructions require x number of cycles to be
skipped, where x equals the number of bytes in the skipped
instruction opcode.
See the BYTES and CYCLES per INSTRUCTION table for
details.

ERASING THE COP8780C EPROM
The EPROM program memory is erased by exposing the

transparent window on the UV erasable packages to an ultraviolet light source. Erasure begins to occur when exposed to light with wavelengths shorter than approximately
4000 Angstroms (). It should be noted that sunlight and
certain types of fluorescent lamps have wavelengths in the
3000 to 4000 range.
After programming, truly opaque labels should be placed
over the window of the device to prevent functional failure
due to the generation of photo currents, erasure and excessive HALT current. The term truly opaque needs additional clarification when used in the context of covering quartz
windows on these devices. The typical white colored stickers or labels are normally used for they are easy to write on.
These stickers are not opaque but translucent, they do let a
certain percentage of UV-light through. The black write-protect labels supplied with 5.25 floppy disks work extremely
well. If problems are encountered during programming (fails
blank check) or during normal operation (intermittent functional or logical failures), need to determine first if an appropriate opaque label is being used to cover the quartz window at all times. Note that the device will also draw more
current than normal (especially in HALT mode) when the
window of the device is not covered with an opaque label.
The recommended erasure procedure for the device is exposure to short wave ultraviolet light which has a wavelength of 2537. The integrated dose (UV intensity c exposure time) for erasure should be a minimum of 30W-sec/
cm2.
The device should be placed within one inch of the lamp
tubes during erasure. Some lamps have a filter on their
tubes which should be removed before erasure. The following table shows the minimum erasure time for various light
intensities.

*Does not include light intensity ramp up time.
An erasure system should be calibrated periodically. The

distance from lamp to device should be maintained at one
inch. The erasure time increases as the square of the distance. Lamps lose intensity as they age. When a lamp has
aged, the system should be checked to make certain that
adequate UV dosages are being applied for full erasure.
Common symptoms of insufficient erasure are:
