Description

 

 

 

PLLEN2:1

I

Phase-locked Loop 1 and 2 Enable

(NU only)

 

These input pins are used to enable the on-chip clock multiplier feature and

 

 

select either the doubled or quadrupled clock speed as follows:

 

 

PLLEN1

PLLEN2

Mode

 

 

0

0

standard mode; clock multiplier circuitry disabled.

 

 

 

 

Internal clock equals the XTAL1 input frequency.

 

 

0

1

Reserved

 

 

1

0

doubled mode; clock multiplier circuitry enabled.

 

 

 

 

Internal clock is twice the XTAL1 input frequency.

 

 

1

1

quadrupled mode; clock multiplier circuitry enabled.

 

 

 

 

Internal clock is four times the XTAL1 input

 

 

 

 

frequency.

 

 

This reserved combination causes the device to enter an unsupported test

 

 

mode.

 

 

PWM2:0

O

Pulse Width Modulator Outputs

 

 

These are PWM output pins with high-current drive capability. The duty cycle

 

 

and frequency-pulse-widths are programmable.

 

 

PWM2:0 are multiplexed with P4.2:0.

RD#

O

Read

 

 

 

 

Read-signal output to external memory. RD# is asserted only during external

 

 

memory reads.

 

READY

I

Ready Input

 

 

 

 

This active-high input signal is used to lengthen external memory cycles for

 

 

slow memory by generating wait states in addition to the wait states that are

 

 

generated internally.

 

 

 

When READY is high, CPU operation continues in a normal manner with wait

 

 

states inserted as programmed in CCR0 or the chip-select x bus control

 

 

register. READY is ignored for all internal memory accesses.

RESET#

I/O

Reset

 

 

 

 

A level-sensitive reset input to and open-drain system reset output from the

 

 

microcontroller. Either a falling edge on RESET# or an internal reset turns on a

 

 

pull-down transistor connected to the RESET# pin for 16 state times. In the

 

 

powerdown, standby, and idle modes, asserting RESET# causes the chip to

 

 

reset and return to normal operating mode. After a device reset, the first

 

 

instruction fetch is from FF2080H (or F2080H in external memory). For the

 

 

80C196NP and 80C196NU, the program and special-purpose memory

 

 

locations (FF2000–FF2FFFH) reside in external memory. For the 83C196NP,

 

 

these locations can reside either in external memory or in internal ROM.
