GNDA (4) Address Bus Ground — GNDA is an isolated ground for sections of the address bus I/O drivers. This
connection must be tied externally to all other chip ground connections. The user must provide
adequate external decoupling capacitors. There are four GNDA connections.
GNDD (4) Data Bus Ground — GNDD is an isolated ground for sections of the data bus I/O drivers. This
connection must be tied externally to all other chip ground connections. The user must provide
adequate external decoupling capacitors. There are four GNDD connections.
GNDC (2) Bus Control Ground — GNDC is an isolated ground for the bus control I/O drivers. This connection
must be tied externally to all other chip ground connections. The user must provide adequate external
decoupling capacitors. There are two GNDC connections.
GNDHHost Ground — GNDh is an isolated ground for the HD08 I/O drivers. This connection must be tied
externally to all other chip ground connections. The user must provide adequate external decoupling
capacitors. There is one GNDH connection.
GNDS (2) SHI, ESAI, ESAI_1, DAX and Timer Ground — GNDS is an isolated ground for the SHI, ESAI, ESAI_1,
DAX and Timer. This connection must be tied externally to all other chip ground connections. The user
must provide adequate external decoupling capacitors. There are two GNDS connections.

Name Type State during
Reset Signal Description
EXTAL Input Input External Clock Input — An external clock source must be connected to EXTAL
in order to supply the clock to the internal clock generator and PLL.
This input cannot tolerate 5 V.
PCAP Input Input PLL Capacitor — PCAP is an input connecting an off-chip capacitor to the PLL
filter. Connect one capacitor terminal to PCAP and the other terminal to VCCP
.
If the PLL is not used, PCAP may be tied to VCC, GND, or left floating.
PINIT/NMI Input Input PLL Initial/Nonmaskable Interrupt — During assertion of RESET, the value of
PINIT/NMI is written into the PLL Enable (PEN) bit of the PLL control register,
determining whether the PLL is enabled or disabled. After RESET de assertion
and during normal instruction processing, the PINIT/NMI Schmitt-trigger input
is a negative-edge-triggered nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) request internally
synchronized to internal system clock.
This input cannot tolerate 5 V.
