SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS

 

 

Table B-3. Signal Descriptions (Continued)

Name

Type

Description

 

 

 

HOLD#

I

Bus Hold Request

 

 

An external device uses this active-low input signal to request control of the

 

 

bus. This pin functions as HOLD# only if the pin is configured for its special

 

 

function (see “Bidirectional Port Pin Configurations” on page 7-7) and the bus-

 

 

hold protocol is enabled. Setting bit 7 of the window selection register (WSR)

 

 

enables the bus-hold protocol.

 

 

HOLD# is multiplexed with P2.5.

INST

O

Instruction Fetch

 

 

This active-high output signal is valid only during external memory bus cycles.

 

 

When high, INST indicates that an instruction is being fetched from external

 

 

memory. The signal remains high during the entire bus cycle of an external

 

 

instruction fetch. INST is low for data accesses, including interrupt vector

 

 

fetches and chip configuration byte reads. INST is low during internal memory

 

 

fetches.

NMI

I

Nonmaskable Interrupt

 

 

In normal operating mode, a rising edge on NMI generates a nonmaskable

 

 

interrupt. NMI has the highest priority of all prioritized interrupts. Assert NMI for

 

 

greater than one state time to guarantee that it is recognized.

ONCE

I

On-circuit Emulation

 

 

Holding ONCE high during the rising edge of RESET# places the device into

 

 

on-circuit emulation (ONCE) mode. This mode puts all pins into a high-

 

 

impedance state, thereby isolating the device from other components in the

 

 

system. The value of ONCE is latched when the RESET# pin goes inactive.

 

 

While the device is in ONCE mode, you can debug the system using a clip-on

 

 

emulator. To exit ONCE mode, reset the device by pulling the RESET# signal

 

 

low. To prevent accidental entry into ONCE mode, connect the ONCE pin to

 

 

VSS.

P1.7:0

I/O

Port 1

 

 

This is a standard, bidirectional port that is multiplexed with individually

 

 

selectable special-function signals.

 

 

Port 1 is multiplexed as follows: P1.0/EPA0, P1.1/EPA1, P1.2/EPA2,

 

 

P1.3/EPA3, P1.4/T1CLK, P1.5/T1DIR, P1.6/T2CLK, and P1.7/T2DIR.

P2.7:0

I/O

Port 2

 

 

This is a standard bidirectional port that is multiplexed with individually

 

 

selectable special-function signals.

 

 

Port 2 is multiplexed as follows: P2.0/TXD, P2.1/RXD, P2.2/EXTINT0,

 

 

P2.3/BREQ#, P2.4/EXTINT1, P2.5/HOLD#, P2.6/HLDA#, and P2.7/CLKOUT.

P3.7:0

I/O

Port 3

 

 

This is an 8-bit, bidirectional, standard I/O port.

 

 

Port 3 is multiplexed as follows: P3.0/CS0#, P3.1/CS1#, P3.2/CS2#,

 

 

P3.3/CS3#, P3.4/CS4#, P3.5/CS5#, P3.6/EXTINT2, and P3.7/EXTINT3.

P4.3:0

I/O

Port 4

 

 

This is a 4-bit, bidirectional, standard I/O port with high-current drive capability.

 

 

Port 4 is multiplexed as follows: P4.0/PWM0, P4.1/PWM1, and P4.2/PWM2.

 

 

P4.3 is not multiplexed.
