Table B-3. Signal Descriptions (Continued)

Name

Type

Description

 

 

 

EA# (NP only)

I

External Access

 

 

This input determines whether memory accesses to special-purpose and

 

 

program memory partitions (FF2000–FF2FFFH) are directed to internal or

 

 

external memory. These accesses are directed to internal memory if EA# is

 

 

held high and to external memory if EA# is held low. For an access to any other

 

 

memory location, the value of EA# is irrelevant.

 

 

EA# is not latched and can be switched dynamically during normal operating

 

 

mode. Be sure to thoroughly consider the issues, such as different access times

 

 

for internal and external memory, before using this dynamic switching capability.

 

 

On devices with no internal nonvolatile memory, always connect EA# to VSS.

 

 

EA# is not implemented on the 80C196NU.

EPA3:0

I/O

Event Processor Array (EPA) Input/Output pins

 

 

These are the high-speed input/output pins for the EPA capture/compare

 

 

channels. For high-speed PWM applications, the outputs of two EPA channels

 

 

(either EPA0 and EPA1 or EPA2 and EPA3) can be remapped to produce a

 

 

PWM waveform on a shared output pin (see “Generating a High-speed PWM

 

 

Output” on page 10-14).

 

 

EPA3:0 are multiplexed with P1.3:0.

EPORT.3:0

I/O

Extended Addressing Port

 

 

On the 8XC196NP, this is a 4-bit, bidirectional, memory-mapped I/O port.

 

 

On the 8XC196NU, this is a 4-bit, bidirectional, standard I/O port.

 

 

EPORT.3:0 are multiplexed with A19:16.

EXTINT3:0

I

External Interrupts

 

 

In normal operating mode, a rising edge on EXTINTx sets the EXTINTx

 

 

interrupt pending bit. EXTINTx is sampled during phase 2 (CLKOUT high). The

 

 

minimum high time is one state time.

 

 

In standby and powerdown modes, asserting the EXTINTx signal for at least 50

 

 

ns causes the device to resume normal operation. The interrupt need not be

 

 

enabled, but the pin must be configured as a special-function input (see

 

 

“Bidirectional Port Pin Configurations” on page 7-7). If the EXTINT x interrupt is

 

 

enabled, the CPU executes the interrupt service routine. Otherwise, the CPU

 

 

executes the instruction that immediately follows the command that invoked the

 

 

power-saving mode.

 

 

In idle mode, asserting any enabled interrupt causes the device to resume

 

 

normal operation.

 

 

EXTINT0 is multiplexed with P2.2, EXTINT1 is multiplexed with P2.4, EXTINT2

 

 

is multiplexed with P3.6, and EXTINT3 is multiplexed with P3.7.

HLDA#

O

Bus Hold Acknowledge

 

 

This active-low output indicates that the CPU has released the bus as the result

 

 

of an external device asserting HOLD#.

 

 

HLDA# is multiplexed with P2.6.
