AUXR1.7

CLKLP

Clock Low Power Select. When set, reduces power consumption in the clock circuits. Can

 

 

be used when the clock frequency is 8MHz or less. After reset this bit is cleared to support

 

 

up to 12MHz operation (P89LPC901).

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUXR1.6

EBRR

UART Break Detect Reset Enable. If ’1’, UART Break Detect will cause a chip reset

 

 

(P89LPC903). When writing to this register on the P89LPC901 or P89LPC902 devices,

 

 

this bit position should be written with a zero.

SRST

Software Reset. When set by software, resets the P89LPC901/902/903 as if a hardware

 

 

reset occurred.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUXR1.2

0

This bit contains a hard-wired 0. Allows toggling of the DPS bit by incrementing AUXR1,

 

 

without interfering with other bits in the register.

 

 

 

 

AUXR1.1

-

Not used. Allowable to set to a "1" .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUXR1.0

DPS

Data Pointer Select. Chooses one of two Data Pointers.

 

 

 

 

Figure 13-1: AUXR1 Register

Software Reset

The SRST bit in AUXR1 gives software the opportunity to reset the processor completely, as if an external reset or watchdog reset had occurred. If a value is written to AUXR1 that contains a 1 at bit position 3, all SFRs will be initialized and execution will resume at program address 0000. Care should be taken when writing to AUXR1 to avoid accidental software resets.

Dual Data Pointers

The dual Data Pointers (DPTR) adds to the ways in which the processor can specify the address used with certain instructions. The DPS bit in the AUXR1 register selects one of the two Data Pointers. The DPTR that is not currently selected is not accessible to software unless the DPS bit is toggled.

Specific instructions affected by the Data Pointer selection are:

INC

DPTR

Increments the Data Pointer by 1.

JMP

@A+DPTR

Jump indirect relative to DPTR value.
