Microcomputer Structure and Operation Chapter 5 A Microprocessor ( P) contains the controller, ALU and internal registers A Microcomputer ( C) contains a microprocessor, memory (RAM, ROM, etc), input

1 Microcomputer Structure and Operation Chapter 5 A Microprocessor ( P) contains the controller, ALU and internal registers A Microcomputer ( C) contains a microprocessor, memory (RAM, ROM, etc), input and output units A P and C can deliver an inexpensive (cost and hours) solution to a design problem Custom circuits are generally preferred in areas where very high speed is necessary, but they are very costly Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 1

2 Typical Applications A C receives input information or data and executes a sequence of instructions which processes this information and then provides an output A C may control the engine of an automobile and provides feedback via the display panel Many parameters such as temperature, oxygen, fuel, etc provide the information to the algorithms which control the performance of the engine A C may also control an electric oven where information is entered via a keyboard to indicate cooking temperature and time It responds by controlling the burner through an output A temperature sensor provides feedback on the current temperature of the oven so that it can be better controlled Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 2

68HC11 in Expanded Mode 2003-2017 Roberto

3 68HC11 in Expanded Mode Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 3

4 Microcomputer Architecture The 68HC11 is set in expanded mode by pulling MODA and MODB high This mode allows external memory and I/O devices to be connected directly to the MPU busses Not all the information is shown; still a simple diagram Three busses carry all the information necessary Address (A15-A0) Data (D7-D0) Control (R/W, etc) The MPU is constantly transferring information to and from memory Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 4

5 Ports A port is a set of pins on the chip through which digital information is transmitted to and from the MPU 68HC11 has 5 ports: A, B, C, D, and E We are only interested in ports B and C for expanded mode Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 5

6 Ports B and C In expanded mode, port B is an output and port C is bi-directional Port B is used to provide the upper order address information for memory access Port C is a multifunction port depending on the state of E-clock and address strobe (AS) 1. Provides the lower order address information for memory access 2. Provides the data for writing to memory and reads the data from memory while reading Port C is time-multiplexed since it delivers different signals at different times A latch is used to capture the low order address to be used at a later time Additional decoders can be used to allow for different memory types Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 6

7 Control Bus The control bus synchronizes the operation of the MPU with other elements R/W is set to indicate the direction of data on the data bus AS is high when the information on Port C is the low order address of a memory access /RESET is used to reset the MPU; it can also be initiated by the 68HC11 /XIRQ and /IRQ are interrupt signals that tell the MPU that something important has happened and it must be investigated E is the 68HC11 s E-clock (more on this later) Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 7

8 Clock Signals 68HC11 uses a single clock signal known as the E-clock both internally and externally The frequency is determined by the external clock components connected to EXTAL and XTAL E-clock is always ¼ this frequency Maximum external clock is 8MHz; maximum internal is 2MHz Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 8

9 Clock Signals 68HC11 also uses an internal clock PH2 The PC is incremented on the rising edge of PH2 Data is latched into the accumulator on the falling edge of E-clock When E-clock is low, AS goes high and address information is placed on ports B and C PH2 has the same frequency as E-clock but it leads by 90 degrees; they do not overlap Falling edge of E-clock signifies the beginning of a clock cycle Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 9

10 I/O Interfacing and Ports There can be several I/O devices connected to the bus Cannot be directly connected to the bus; must use interfacing circuitry Interfacing may be required when voltage levels and timing are different Most Cs have many ports, which can be used to interface with other devices Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 10

11 Read and Write Timing The MPU is constantly performing READ and WRITE operations as it executes a program READ: Fetches the op-code from memory Fetches the operand from memory Fetches the data from memory (LDAA, ADDA, SUBA) WRITE: Transfers data from internal register to memory (STAA) Transfers data from internal register to output device Read operations are more common since they are necessary to read the program instructions Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 11

12 Everything is in reference to PH2, E-clock and AS 1. Rising edge of AS R/W = 1 Address is set 2. Rising edge of PH2 PC is incremented Read Operations Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 12

13 Read Operations 3. Falling edge of AS Low order address is fully latched Remove low order address from port C 4. Rising edge of E- clock Enable selected devices (RAM, ROM, I/O) Port C becomes an input Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 13

14 Read Operations 5. Falling edge of E- clock Data on port C are latched to an internal register Memory must deliver a value within this time When E-clock goes low, external memory is disabled and bus goes to high-z Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 14

15 Write Operations 1. Rising edge of AS R/W = 0 Address is set 2. Rising edge of PH2 Nothing happens Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 15

16 Write Operations 3. Falling edge of AS Low order address is fully latched Remove low order address from port C 4. Rising edge of E- clock Enable selected devices (RAM, ROM, I/O) Port C becomes an output Data is placed on port C Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 16

17 Write Operations 5. Falling edge of E-clock Data on port C is latched into selected memory device Memory must commit this value within this time Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 17

Next op-code Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 18

19 Bus Activity During Program Execution Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 19

20 Bus Activity During Program Execution Read operation: a. Rising edge of AS MPU places PC/DAR on address bus R/W=1 b. Rising edge of PH2 Increment PC c. Falling edge of AS Low order address is latched d. Rising edge of E-clock Memory device is enabled e. Falling edge of E-clock Latch data word from memory device Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 20

21 Bus Activity During Program Execution Write operation: a. Rising edge of AS MPU places DAR on address bus R/W=0 b. Rising edge of PH2 Nothing takes place c. Falling edge of AS Low order address is latched d. Rising edge of E-clock Memory device is enabled Output is placed on data bus e. Falling edge of E-clock Latch data word to memory device Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 21

22 MPU Address Space Allocation When a Read or Write is performed the MPU places an address on the bus The 68HC11 has (64K) available addresses This can be allocated into different types of memory (RAM, I/O, ROM) Figure on right is an example of what you might find in one of the 68HC11s This could be the memory available in expanded mode Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 22

23 On-Chip Memory and I/O Various 68HC11s All contain the same number of internal registers, etc Different memory configurations RAM and ROM are generally fixed while I/O can be moved (more on this later) Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 23

24 On-Chip Memory and I/O Some have a different number of Timers, Serial interfaces, A-to- D converters as well as Pulse Width Modulators Some also operate at different voltages and speeds Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 24

25 Memory Pages The 64K of memory can be divided into 256 blocks of 256 addresses Each is called a page The upper 8-bits of an address can be referred to as the page number The lower 8-bits of an address can be referred to as the word number Upon startup, we can specify the location of the I/O in the 68HC11 by writing the desired page number to a fixed memory register Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 25

26 Memory Modules and Address The amount of memory in a C depends on the intended application Once the memory arrangement is decided, an address decoding system must be put in place to enable the particular memories at the right time Generally higherorder memory addresses are used to dictate which memory is in use Decoding Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 26

Microcomputer Decoding Example Create an external circuit to connect to a 68HC11 in expanded mode RAM is usually placed starting at address 0 to take advantage of zero page operations ROM is placed

27 Microcomputer Decoding Example Create an external circuit to connect to a 68HC11 in expanded mode RAM is usually placed starting at address 0 to take advantage of zero page operations ROM is placed at the highest point since the startup information for the 68HC11 is located between $FFFC and $FFFF I/O is placed at $8000 to simplify decoding circuitry Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 27

28 RAM Decoding Logic 4K x 8 RAM memory required Use 1K x 8 components Need to use a decoder (74HC138) to determine which $0400 part of $0000-$0FFF is being addressed Use of an inverting input NAND gate for higher order address lines provides FULL address decoding Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 28

29 RAM Decoding Logic Can use partial address decoding Address lines A14-A12 are not considered for decoding $0000-$0FFF is mirrored to $1000, $2000, $3000, $4000, etc This is acceptable as long as the programmer is aware that these memory addresses are shared Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 29

30 ROM Decoding Logic 16K x 8 ROM memory required Use 4K x 8 components Need to use a decoder (74HC138) to determine if $C000-$FFFF is addressed Use of an inverter on A15 as well as A14-A12 to determine which 4K page is being used /8000 is used later for I/O Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 30

31 I/O Decoding Logic A large amount of I/O is usually not necessary In this example, we will only have 8 input and 8 output bits A2 decides on which to enable Writing to $8000 puts data on the output I/O Reading from $8004 reads data from the input I/O $8000 is mirrored to $8001, $8002, $8003, $8008, $8009, etc $8004 is mirrored to $8005, $8006, $8007, $800C, $800D, etc Roberto Muscedere Images and Text Portions 2003 Prentice Hall 31
