Table B-3. Signal Descriptions (Continued)

 

Name

Type

Description

 

 

 

RPD

I

Return from Powerdown

 

 

 

Timing pin for the return-from-powerdown circuit.

 

 

 

If your application uses powerdown mode, connect a capacitorbetween RPD

 

 

 

and VSS if either of the following conditions are true.

 

 

 

• the internal oscillator is the clock source

 

 

 

• the phase-locked loop (PLL) circuitry (80C196NU only) is enabled (see

 

 

 

PLLEN2:1 signal description)

 

 

 

The capacitor causes a delay that enables the oscillator and PLL circuitry to

 

 

 

stabilize before the internal CPU and peripheral clocks are enabled.

 

 

 

The capacitor is not required if your application uses powerdown mode and if

 

 

 

both of the following conditions are true.

 

 

 

• an external clock input is the clock source

 

 

 

• the phase-locked loop circuitry (80C196NU only) is disabled

 

 

 

If your application does not use powerdown mode, leave this pin unconnected.

 

 

 

Calculate the value of the capacitor using the formula found on page 12-11.

RXD

I/O

Receive Serial Data

 

 

 

In modes 1, 2, and 3, RXD receives serial port input data. In mode 0, it

 

 

 

functions as either an input or an open-drain output for data.

 

 

 

RXD is multiplexed with P2.1.

T1CLK

I

Timer 1 External Clock

 

 

 

External clock for timer 1. Timer 1 increments (or decrements) on both rising

 

 

 

and falling edges of T1CLK. Also used in conjunction with T1DIR for quadrature

 

 

 

counting mode.

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

External clock for the serial I/O baud-rate generator input (program selectable).

 

 

 

T1CLK is multiplexed with P1.4.

T2CLK

I

Timer 2 External Clock

 

 

 

External clock for timer 2. Timer 2 increments (or decrements) on both rising

 

 

 

and falling edges of T2CLK. Also used in conjunction with T2DIR for quadrature

 

 

 

counting mode.

 

 

 

T2CLK is multiplexed with P1.6.

T1DIR

I

Timer 1 External Direction

 

 

 

External direction (up/down) for timer 1. Timer 1 increments when T1DIR is high

 

 

 

and decrements when it is low. Also used in conjunction with T1CLK for

 

 

 

quadrature counting mode.

 

 

 

T1DIR is multiplexed with P1.5.

T2DIR

I

Timer 2 External Direction

 

 

 

External direction (up/down) for timer 2. Timer 2 increments when T2DIR is high

 

 

 

and decrements when it is low. Also used in conjunction with T2CLK for

 

 

 

quadrature counting mode.

 

 

 

T2DIR is multiplexed with P1.7.

TXD

O

Transmit Serial Data

 

 

 

In serial I/O modes 1, 2, and 3, TXD transmits serial port output data. In mode

 

 

 

0, it is the serial clock output.

 

 

 

TXD is multiplexed with P2.0.
