ADuC812

Using the Flash/EE Program Memory

This 8K Byte Flash/EE Program Memory array is mapped into the lower 8K bytes of the 64K bytes program space addres- sable by the ADuC812 and will be used to hold user code in typical applications.

The program memory array can be programmed in one of two modes, namely:

Serial Downloading (In-Circuit Programming)

As part of its embedded download/debug kernel, the ADuC812 facilitates serial code download via the standard UART serial port. Serial download mode is automatically entered on power-up if the external pin, PSEN, is pulled low through an external resis- tor as shown in Figure 15. Once in this mode, the user can download code to the program memory array while the device is sited in its target application hardware. A PC serial download executable is provided as part of the ADuC812 QuickStart development system.

The Serial Download protocol is detailed in a MicroConverter Applications Note uC004 available from the ADI MicroConverter Website at www.analog.com/micronverter.

Using the Flash/EE Data Memory

The user Flash/EE data memory array consists of 640 bytes that are configured into 160 (Page 00H to Page 9FH), 4-byte pages as shown in Figure 16.

As with other ADuC812 user-peripherals circuits, the inter- face to this memory space is via a group of registers mapped in the SFR space. A group of four data registers (EDATA1-4) are used to hold the 4-byte page being accessed. EADRL is used to hold the 8-bit address of the page being accessed. Finally, ECON is an 8-bit control register that may be written with one of five Flash/EE memory access commands to trigger various read, write, erase and verify functions. These register can be summarized as follows:

The parallel programming mode is fully compatible with conventional third party Flash or EEPROM device programmers. In this mode Ports P0, P1 and P2 operate as the external data and address bus interface, ALE operates as the Write Enable strobe and Port P3 is used as a general configuration port that configures the device for various program and erase operations during parallel programming.

The high voltage (12 V) supply required for Flash programming is generated using on-chip charge pumps to supply the high
