SLIMP—Limp Mode

1 = A loss of input signal reference has been detected, and the VCO is running at approximately one-half the maximum speed (affected by the X-bit ), determined from an internal voltage reference.

0 = External input signal frequency is at VCO reference.

SLOCK—Synthesizer Lock

1 = VCO has locked onto the desired frequency (or system clock is driven externally).

0 = VCO is enabled, but has not yet locked.

RSTEN—Reset Enable

1 = Loss of input signal causes a system reset.

0 = Loss of input signal causes the VCO to operate at a nominal speed without external reference (limp mode), and the device continues to operate at that speed.

STSIM—Stop Mode System Integration Clock

1 = When LPSTOP is executed, the SIM40 clock is driven from the VCO.

0 = When LPSTOP is executed, the SIM40 clock is driven from an external crystal or oscillator, and the VCO is turned off to conserve power.

STEXT—Stop Mode External Clock

1 = When the LPSTOP instruction is executed, the external clock pin (CLKOUT) is driven from the SIM40 clock as determined by the STSIM bit.

0 = When the LPSTOP instruction is executed, the external clock (CLKOUT) is held low to conserve power. No external clock will be driven in LPSTOP mode.

4.3.4 Chip Select Registers

The following paragraphs provide descriptions of the registers in the chip select function, and an example of how to program the registers. The chip select registers cannot be used until the V-bit in the MBAR is set.

MC68340 specifications

The Motorola MC68340 is a highly integrated microprocessor that was introduced in the early 1990s. It belongs to the 68000 family of microprocessors and is designed to cater to the demands of embedded systems, particularly in telecommunications and networking applications. This chip represents a significant evolution in microprocessor technology by combining a microprocessor core with additional peripherals on a single chip, making it an attractive solution for engineers looking to design compact and efficient systems.

One of the key features of the MC68340 is its 32-bit architecture, which allows for significant processing power and data handling capabilities. This architecture enables the processor to handle larger data sizes and perform more complex calculations compared to its 16-bit predecessors. The MC68340 operates at clock speeds typically ranging from 16 MHz to 25 MHz. Its dual instruction pipeline enhances throughput, allowing for simultaneous instruction fetches and executions, which significantly boosts performance.

A notable characteristic of the MC68340 is the inclusion of integrated peripherals, which help reduce the overall component count in a system. Key integrated components include a memory management unit (MMU), a direct memory access (DMA) controller, and various communication interfaces such as serial ports. The memory management capabilities enhance the processor's ability to manage memory resources efficiently, enabling it to support multitasking environments commonly found in modern computing.

In terms of connectivity, the MC68340 features connections for both synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, making it well-suited for networking tasks. The processor supports a range of bus standards, including address and data buses, which facilitate seamless interaction with peripheral devices.

Another important aspect of the MC68340 is its flexibility. The processor supports multiple operating modes, including multiple CPU configurations and compatibility with the Motorola 68000 family, allowing for easier integration into existing systems.

Moreover, the MC68340 boasts low power consumption compared to many of its contemporaries, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated applications, enhancing its appeal in sectors like telecommunications, industrial control, and automotive systems. Its combination of performance, integration, versatility, and efficiency has secured the MC68340 a reputable position in the annals of embedded systems technology, proving to be a valuable asset for developers and engineers alike.
