Subject: #A. Introduction
This FAQ as an attempt to collect/distribute information about the ST6
microcontrollers of SGS-THOMSON Microelectronics on the USENET.
There are 4 versions of this FAQ:
* a modular HTML version using frames,
* a modular HTML version not using frames,
* a monolithic HTML version, and
* a TXT version.
The HTML versions offers direct links to other documents available online; the
monolithic version will take a bit longer to load as it contains all parts of
the modular versions in one big chunk. In the modular version using frames
Table-of-Contents is permanently available on a separate "window".
For the TEXT version the URLs of links to other documents mentioned above are
extracted from the text and are listed at the end; bracketed numbers in flowing
text refer to this list.
If this document will be accepted by the appropriate NewsGroups and also
approved by "news.answers" NewsGroup, we will call this document
"ST6 microcontrollers FAQ" (in short "ST6FAQ").
While this FAQ is not intended to be an advertisement for any product, please
note that some of the contributors have a financial interest in some of the
items mentioned. Your editor has NO financial interest in anything mentioned in
this FAQ.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main purpose of this "FAQ" is to trigger a joint-venture of collecting
valuable - at least useful - information about the ST6xxx family of
microcontrollers introduced by SGS-THOMSON. So please do not expect very much
from this document - we are still at a starting phase. We'll work on it - and
hopefully some of you, too.
If you take a look at the "Table of Contents'" last (status) column, you'll
notice: there are several gaps left at the moment and a lot of question marks.
The initials there stand for persons who try to take care for maintaining and
filling some chapters of this FAQ draft (see sub-chapter "How can I contribute
to this FAQ?" for explanation of these "aliases" ); it also indicates
sub-chapter's status and date of last change.
The special characters adjacent to the shorthand "aliases" mean:
? request to care for,
! cares for (at least momentarily),
% topic is in process, but more information is needed
* topic is (said to be) finished
+ topic is updated
#0.9) Trademarks (LS%)
Probably these are trademarks:
MS-DOS,
WINDOWS by Microsoft Corporation;
OS/2,
PC,
PC-DOS by International Business Machines Corporation;
ST6,
ST6xxx by SGS-THOMSON Microelectronics GROUP OF COMPANIES.
###1) ABOUT THIS FAQ (LS*)
#1.1) Who put this FAQ together? (LS*)
Based on the pre-work of the authors of
Microcontroller-FAQ/Primer,
68HC11-FAQ,
8051-FAQ Russ Hersch (sibit@datasrv.co.il),
COP8-FAQ Robin Getz (rgetz@esd.nsc.com),
PIC-FAQ Tom Kellett (tom@takdsign.demon.co.uk)
this proposal ST6-FAQ was initiated by
Emilio Caggiano (caggiano@vm.csata.it) (*EC*),
Jerry van Kampen (jvkamp42@worldaccess.nl) (*JvK*),
Leonhard Schneider (ubie@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) (*LS*).
We decided to take the format and whatever was reasonable to be taken from the
for-runner FAQS (with permission of the authors). The unique "#" character in
front of the chapter numbers we put there to ease forward/backward skipping
using search commands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To link an HTML version of this FAQ to his "ChipDir" was an idea of
Jaap van Ganswijk (ganswijk@xs4all.nl) (*JvG*).
Another HTML version of ST6-FAQ is kept by
Filip Gieszczykiewicz (filip@alpha.smi.med.pitt.edu) (*FG*).
... although we are not informed if efforts are taken to keep these HTML
versions up-to-date. So have a look at the date and be suspicious if you detect
one of the type "yyyy/mm/dd B.C."
#1.2) How can I contribute to this FAQ? (LS%)
If you have any suggestions or additions, or you would like to correct any of
the information contained herein, please eMail a note, depending on subject, to
*one* of the "co-maintainers" (see status column in "Table of Contents"):
Emilio Caggiano (caggiano@vm.csata.it) (*EC*)
Jerry van Kampen (jvkamp42@worldaccess.nl) (*JvK*)
(place [Jerry] in subject line)
Leonhard Schneider (ubie@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) (*LS*)
For the ease of FAQ maintaining we ask supporters to provide their
contributions in a format that matches the format of this FAQ.
Please precede your article by
a copy of the adequate topic line,
a subject line describing the contents of your article in brief,
and append
a line with your name and eMail-address.
Articles offered to the maintainers of this ST6-FAQ must be free to be
published on The Net.
If you give names of ftp/html-sites, please use URL conventions (rfc1630), even
if WE didn't do it by accident (but please point to our mistakes).
We certainly hope that those of you who know of interesting items for the ST6
will share with everyone by contributing to this project.
If you are a manufacturer and have an anonymous ftp site available that
supports the ST6, please let us know by Email so that we can add it to this
FAQ.
#1.3) What Newsgroups will this FAQ be posted to? (LS%)
This FAQ will NOT be cross-posted to newsgroups anymore, because
* there are several sites now archiving the ST6FAQ in US-America, Australia,
and Europe;
* the FAQ grew up to 100k in size and we assume too few people are interested
in ST6 subject, not justifying the effort to periodically cross-post a FAQ
of this size to several newsgroups;
* the advances of this FAQ are mostly marginal.
If there are updates of the ST6FAQ, a short announcement/reminder will be
cross-posted to the following newsgroups:
* alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt [72]
Homebrew computers of all kinds.
* comp.arch.embedded [73]
Embedded computer systems topics
* sci.electronics.misc [74]
Circuits, theory, electrons and discussions
Issues of ST6FAQ will be updated once a month. We can't promise that it will be
on time, but we hope to post it on the *6th* of each month. Easy to remember,
isn't it: ST6 at 6th?
You may also want to check out the following newsgroups, since they may
occasionally have items of interest for ST6 users.
* alt.lang.asm [75]
* comp.lang.misc [76]
And probably later, depending on what people think....
* comp.answers [77]
* news.answers [78]
* sci.answers [79]
The first three newsgroups mentioned often contain discussions, announcements,
or information on microcontrollers. Check them out from time to time.
Later on, by posting to the *.answers newsgroups, the FAQ will perhaps be
archived automatically. The archive name of this FAQ (also included in the
header) is supposed to be:
microcontroller-faq/ST6.
#1.4) Where is this FAQ archived? (LS+970730)
Daniel Pfarrer generously and non-bureautcratically gave an USAmerican home to
ST6FAQ; you may obtain the latest issue
* via www:
http://www.gsp.com/st6/st6faq.txt [81]
* via anonymous ftp:
ftp://ftp.gsp.com/pub/st6/st6faq.zip [82]
* via e-mail:
... if you have no access to WWW then make use of "webmail"
by sending e-mail to appropriate server:
Address Syntax Comments

agora@kamakura.mss.co.jp SEND Another Agora in Japan
agora@info.lanic.utexas.edu SEND Agora in USA

webmail@www.ucc.ie GO Webmail server in Ireland
w3mail@gmd.de GET W3Mail in Germany
in BODY:
GET http://www.gsp.com/st6/st6faq.txt
Even more simple:
Instead of using "webmail" to get a ascii copy of ST6FAQ
you can send a blank message to GSP's file-on-demand server:
"st6faq@gsp.com"
and the request will be processed and sent.
The entire content of both the subject line and the message
(body) does not matter.
This way there is no list of commands that anyone has to enter.
... if you have no chance to perform ftp,
you may use a "ftpmail" server:

At this site there are also contributions of st6-users too voluminous to be put
into the kernal ST6FAQ (see #4.2).

It seems that at this site ST6FAQ is not always quite up-to-date ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Home Page of the ST6FAQ in Germany is accessible
* via WWW:
http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ubie/st6.htm [91]
At this site there are also contributions of st6-users too voluminous to be put
into the kernal ST6FAQ (see #4.2).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Home Page of the ST6FAQ in Finland is accessible
* via WWW:
http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/st6faq.txt [92]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Access via anonymous FTP will be provided either via
ftp://picard.tec.mn.us/pub/binky/texts/st6faq.txt [93]
ftp://picard.tec.mn.us/pub/binky/files/st6faq.zip [94]
whereas - if you are limitted to e-mail services - you could try
>> Mailer address: binky@picard.tec.mn.us
>> Mailer Subject: send st6faq.tyt
rsp.
send st6faq.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The archive sites mentioned before (and eventually others we don't know of)
should carry an issue of ST6FAQ not older than a month, approximately. Even if
ST6FAQ doesn't advance very fast: if you detect an "ancient" version somewhere,
please contact the maintainer of the site (not the poor maintainers of the
ST6FAQ, please!) and ask her/him to update. You could also tell her/him (how)
to contact the maintainers of the ST6FAQ for enrollment into the update mailing
list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also can imagine that once in a while (if constellation of stars and planets
will offer favourable opportunities) one may find ST6FAQ also there:

/pub/usenet/comp.answers/microcontroller-faq/ST6
/pub/usenet/sci.answers/microcontroller-faq/ST6
/pub/usenet/news.answers/microcontroller-faq/ST6
Until now we did not receive any positive response from the *.answers-peoples
in charge, even if we tried several times. :-(
If somebody is talented in net-talking with an angel's tongue, PLEASE try ...
#1.5) May I distribute this FAQ or post it somewhere else? (LS*)
We are putting no restrictions on the use of this FAQ except - It must be
distributed in its entirely with the copyright notice, and no financial gain
may be realized from it. After all, we have spent, and continue to spend, a lot
of time on this, and the only thing that we intend to gain from it is more
information on the ST6, and getting to know fellow ST6 groupies better.
REMEMBER ! If you choose to upload this FAQ to any BBS or ftp site, then *YOU*
are responsible for updating it regularly.

###2) ABOUT THE ST6-FAMILY OF MICROCONTROLLERS (JvK?)
#2.1) The ST6xxx Microcontrollers (YH980507)
* ST62 subfamilies are:
ST620X : Smallest general purpose with A/D convertor
ST621X : Very small general purpose with A/D convertor
ST622X : Small general purpose with AD converter
ST626X : Small general purpose with AD converter, PWM and EEPROM
ST624X : LCD driver
ST628X : Dot matrix driver
* ST63xx family is used for TV applications.
* ST62xx and ST63xx families have the same, small instruction set.
#2.2) Common / New ST6 variants (YH980507)
Common feature of ST62 devices is the (said) high noise immunity. It enables
the designer to design an application without spending much time on adjusting
capacitors, shieldings, ground ... See Application note AN435 in the ST62
General Purpose Application Manual for more detail on this point.
Here is some info concerning ST620* new products.
In fact, these chips are aimed at high volume low end applications. They are
subsets of ST6225 device and available in ROM and OTP version.
Device rom size number of pins Misc
------ -------- -------------- ----
ST6200 1Kb 16 ADC present
ST6201 2Kb 16 ADC present
ST6203 1Kb 16 no ADC
------ -------- -------------- ----
ST6208 1Kb 20 no ADC
ST6209 1Kb 20 ADC present
ST6210 2Kb 20 ADC present
The St6253 is another subset but of st6265, but with 2Kb rom instead of 4Kb, no
spi, no eeprom.
Their main advantage is their price compared to other st62xx devices.
#2.3) Technical Details (speed, power, EMI, instruction set) (SGS?)
[ to be added ]
#2.5) Device List (YH980507)
The devices differ in on-chip resources and in pin-out, as this NEW list shows:
DEVICE Program RAM EEPROM A/D W/D Timers Serial I/O

Taking full advantage of its company's leading know-how in the non volatile
memory area, SGS-Thomson has developed a new production flow making it possible
to customize the micrcontrollers in the assembly plant using prediffused
wafers, instead of making it during making it during diffusion process as for
ROM devices.

#2.9) Advantages realized in implementing Control Applications on this Family
of Microcontrollers (EC!)
The following contribution is by David Giles from EURODIS HB ELECTRONICS Ltd
Bolton, UK (SGS-THOMSON Device Distributor):
Someone once said "Most micros can do most jobs.", and for many application
this is certainly true. However, the ST6 has many attributes that made it
ideally suited to many embedded control applications. Detailed below are some
of them.
The ST6 micro has one of the most versatile I/O structure for a low end 8 bit
micro that is currently on the market. Each I/O bit can be configured for
either input mode, or output mode. The ports can be configured to have one of
the following modes:
i) Input Mode, No Pull Up Resistor & No Interrupts
ii) Input Mode, With Pull Up Resistors & No Interrupts
iii) Input Mode, With Pull Up resistors & With Interrupts
iv) Analogue A/D Input (8 Bit Resolution)
v) Output Mode, Open Collector (Some Pins 20mA sink)
vi) Output Mode, Push Pull (Some Pins 20mA sink)
For those pins which are configured with interrupts, it is possible to set a
global edge selection bit which determines whether the interrupt is a rising
edge or falling edge sensitive. The clear advantage of using a micro with this
I/O flexibility is to reduce the number of external components required to
complete the design, and hence the material and manufacturing costs. This is
particularly important in markets such as White & Brown Goods, Automotive, and
also in market segment with a high degree of competitiveness such as Security.
- High Noise Immunity -
The ST6 has been designed to work in electrically noisy environments such as
automobiles and industrial premises. As such it offers a high degree of noise
immunity and high levels of device integrity. It can for example directly drive
triacs in mains lighting applications without the need to electrically isolate
the micro from the triac or the mains. Each I/O pin when configured for input
mode has a Schmitt Trigger input to help with noise rejection. Each device pin
has two antistatic protection diodes to prevent device damage. These diode also
prevent the device from latching up should an overvoltage/ undervoltage
condition appear on an I/O pin. The I/O pins when configured for push-pull
operation will change state as required from one state to another, but at a
controlled rate. As a consequence the transition slope is slewed very slightly
to prevent unwanted oscillation, and also to reduce EMC radiation. All ST6
family members have a watchdog timer on board. This timer can be used to detect
a software upset and to force the device into a controlled recovery. The micro
can observe the watchdog timer register value and can effectively determine
whether device integrity has been lost. Most micros have watchdog timers but
not all of them allow you to inspect its value.
- Data ROM Window -
The ST6 has a data ROM window which is a hardware mechanism that allows the
indexing and hence examination of the program memory by software. Tables of
data, both large and small can for example be stored in the program memory and
accessed by the software. The whole of the program memory can be accessed via
the Data ROM Window and hence the software can self check itself on power up to
determine whether there has been corruption of the EPROM/ROM memory. This is a
statuary requirement in many countries for applications such as fire detection.
Not all micros are capable of doing this, the Microchip PIC16Cxx family for
example is one.
- High Code Packing Density -
The ST6 microcontroller architecture is common throughout the family of
devices. The program memory is segmented into blocks of 2k bytes. The larger
family members, 8k for example, use a page banking mechanism with a static 2k
page being used as a jumping off point to the other 3 pages of code. The main
advantage of this type of memory organisation is the number of digital bits
that are required to describe an absolute address. An absolute address
therefore requires only 12 digital bits of information. A jump to an absolute
address therefor only requires 12 bits to describe the address and hence the op
code and data can be described within a two byte word. Hence CALL and JP
instructions only consume 2 bytes or 16 bits of program memory. The reduced
instruction set common to the ST6 family members also favours good code packing
density. Because there are fewer op codes you need fewer bits to describe the
instruction. There are only 4 instructions on the ST6 that are 3 byte
instructions, all the others are either 1 or 2 bytes. This means the ST6
instruction set is efficient in memory usage.
- Established World Wide Customer Base -
The ST6 micro controller business world wide is worth between $200 & $300
million currently with sales expanding at a phenomenal rate. As such the
prospects for the device in the future are very good. SGS Thomson have several
new family members on the drawing board and will be launching these new devices
before very long. The design is therefore mature and has been proven in the
market place. Most devices are supported with low cost development tools and as
such the entry costs to the architecture are extremely low.

Free Software for ST62 Development Tools from SGS-Thomson
Technical information is available on CD-ROM and on Internet in the form of
"Web" pages:
- The CD-ROM is split into two main parts consisting of a "Book Shop" area and
a "Development Tools" area with a third area containing viewer software to
allow browsing through the contents of the CD-ROM.
The development tools section contains ten fully released software tools plus a
couple of programs which are offered as beta versions- that is they are not
fully fledged programs but are offered as 'tasters' of a new software tool
which will shortly become available in 'fully released' form.
The full released tools include a family wide assembler and linker, software
simulator , Realizer, and other essential parts of the developers' software
tool kit while one of the Beta releases is of a 'C' compiler which will be of
interest to many programmers.
- Free Software for ST62 Development tools can be obtained by downloading from
ST on-line :

ACTUM REALIZER
Software Aided Computer Engineering for ST62 8-Bit Microcontrollers, MS Windows
3 Edition: ST6-REALIZER/PC
The software allows to generate the program code with the following steps:
* You draw the schematic circuit of the application with the symbol available
in the graphic system instead to writing the assembly code.
* Check the integrity of the graphical description, verify I/O assignment
etc. with the Analize Menu.
* The software develops automatically the program code and all files related
to the ST62 target.
* The Simulate Menu allows to monitor the signals of the application,
directly on the graphical description without to build hardware for
debugging.
Note: In the SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 - Grenoble BBS) it is available the
Demo-Realizer Pack software and some application notes as the AN676 and AN677
with this tool.

#6.6) Problems / Bugs (chips, hardware, software) (YH980507)
* Windows 95 - DG (David Giles)
I have noticed that many people have problems with running the SGS Thomson ST6
Starter Kits programming software under Windows 95. Most people that have tried
to do this have had problems. Fortunately there is a simple solution. Include
the line "switches=/c" in the config.sys file, and the problem disappears.
* Corruption of On Board EEPROM With ST626x/4x Devices - DG
On the ST62T60/65 devices there is 128 bytes of EEPROM and it is normally used
for storing calibration data etc. for use in the application. A common problem
with many designs in the apparent corruption of this on board EEPROM. The main
reason for the corruption is due to poor management of the RESET pin on the ST6
device. In cost sensitive designs the hardware designer will use only a small
reset capacitor, 100nF or so, connected between the RESET pin and ground.
During power up the voltage on the reset pin will lag behind slightly the power
supply voltage, so during the power up phase the microcontroller will be held
in reset until the voltage on the reset pin is sufficiently high enough to
release the micro. This works well during power up. However on power down, the
voltage on the RESET pin will collapse at the samerate as the power supply
voltage. At about 3 volts or so the microcontrollercan not guarantee reliable
operation and device integrity is lost. At this point the microcontroller can
start to write garbage into its register spaceand hence corrupt the EEPROM.
Also the I/O pins on the micrcontroller can be corrupted and hence spurious LED
operation, if connected to the I/O pins,can be observed. Hence corruption of
the EEPROM is possible during the power down phase. This can be confirmed in
your application by following the sequence below:
* Set up the EEPROM registers in your software, loading them with known
values.
* Power up your application in the normal way.
* Before powering down your circuit connected the RESET pin down to ground
via a wire link.
* Power down your board and remove the ST6 device.
* Check the value of the EEPROM with the SGS Thomson Starter Kit
Programming Software and perform an upload of the EEPROM.
* If the EEPROM remains uncorrupted then the problem of corruption is due
to poor management of the RESET pin.
Solving the problem is easy. You will need to add a brownout detector onto the
power supply lines, and connect the output to the reset pin. Methods of doing
this are described in Apps Notes AN669 Simple Reset Circuit For The ST6, and
AN671 Prevention Of Data Corruption In ST6 On Chip EEPROM.
#6.7) Hardware Hints and Tips
* TEST pin - JvK
Always connect the TEST pin to ground; in the manual an on-chip pull-down
resistor is mentioned, but in fact it is not there or it simply does not
function correctly.
* ST62 EPROM TEST/VPP Pull-down Resistor - EC
(read adjacent table YH980507 also for more recent info)
From SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2) it is possible to read the
following Application tip n. 34:
Agnes Cacciaguerra, Rousset Thibault Brunet, Rousset:
EPROM members of the ST62 MCU family use the pin labelled TEST on the
equivalent ROM-based ST62, but with the additional function as the input for
the programming voltage, VPP, for the EPROM. Normally for the ROM devices the
TEST input has an internal pull-down resistor allowing the device to have this
pin not-connected in the circuit, while preventing unauthorized access to the
TEST functions.
Several members of the ST62 EPROM based devices have been found to NOT have
this pull-down resistor on the VPP/TEST input of the devices. This may cause a
malfunction of the system or high current consumption of the device if the TEST
input is allowed to float high.
For this reason VPP/TEST pin must not be left open. It is advised to connect
this input to Ground via a resistor of 50k to 100kOhm.
This applies to the devices shown in the following table for devices currently
available. All future devices will have this pull-down resistor.

Note: All ROM Codes dating after July 1992 have used the revised mask set,
unless otherwise specified by the customer. In detail this applies to devices
with the SGS-THOMSON specified ROM code identifier greater than SP, (excepting
PK, SL and SN).
ST6 ROM code identifiers are used to replace the /XX part of the sales type to
specify the customer ROM code used. The sequence has been for two alphabetic
letters incrementing in alpha order (i.e. AA-AZ, BA-BZ etc). From code YS
however, ROM code identifiers have been restarting in an alpha/number sequence
(i.e. A0-A9, B0 to B9 and so on). Check your part number (specified on the
order, as, if custom marking has been requested, the part number may not appear
on the package itself) if you wish to be sure. In case of doubt, contact the
local SGS-THOMSON marketing person.

* What you have to keep in mind when switching between EPROM/OTP/ROM Version
951130 - EC
The ST62EXX microcontroller type is the EPROM version of this family. They are
intended for use during the development of an application or for pre-prodution
and small volume prodution.
The ST62TXX OTP type (One Time Programmable) have the same characteristics of
the EPROM except that they cannot be erased. From the user's point of view,
once programmed, the OTP and EPROM types have exactly the same software and
hardware features as the ROM version, except for the following parts:
* No internal pull-up resistor available on pin NMI;
* No internal pull-up resistor available on pin Timer.
But also see article "ST624X ROM BANKING ALERT" in chapter "Software Hints and
Tips"
* EPROM erasing - EC
The EPROM may be erased by esposure to the Ultra violet light. The erasure of
the EPROM begins when the memory is exposed to light with a wave lengths
shorter than approximately 2700 A. The SGS-Thomsom recommmends an exposure to
short wave ultraviolet light which have a wave-lenght of 2537 A. The integrated
dose (UV intensity by exposure time) for erasure should be a minimum of 15 W
sec/cm2. The erasure time with this dosage is approximately 15 to 20 minutes
using an ultraviolet lamp with 1200 microW/cm2 power rating. The life of the
EPROM is reduced if the exposure is over 50 minutes The devices should be
placed within 2.5 cm of the lamp tubes during erasure.
* USING ST62XX I/O PORTS SAFELY - EC
The application notes AN432 by J.Stockinger on the SGS-THOMSON Application
Manual (1^ FREE Edition-January 1995) is very clear for understanding the
architecture of the I/O bit associated with these port functions and provide
additional indications on the correct use of these features for functions as
keybord scanning and analog inputs.
#6.8) Software Hints and Tips
* Reset - Jvk
After reset is a good time to start the timer, configure the I/O lines, and set
up the data rom window register. Start your reset routine by reloading the
watchdog timer, and finish it with:
reti
nop
* The Stack - DL
The stack is a hardware stack. This means that you are quite limited in the
number of calls that can be nested, as you have to save some stack space for
the interrupts.
* Interrupts - JvK
Disable the A/D conversion interrupt as soon as you enter the interrupt
routines. The end of conversion state is still valid after the interrupt
routine ends and can generate another interrupt request.
It seems that you would have to do the same with all other interrupts, but I'm
not quite sure, since I haven't had any problems with them.
* The data window - DL
This is useful. I have used it when converting an A/D result into a value to be
compared with another A/D result. The required calculation (multiply by 0.62)
was a bit beyond the ST6, so I used a 256 byte look-up table of the result.
You can set it up like this:
.w_on ; enable data rom window
.org 80h
.block 64-$%64 ; Force page boundary.
table
.byte 000h,004h,008h,00bh,00fh,013h,017h,01ah
.byte 01eh,022h,026h,029h,02dh,031h,035h,038h
.byte 0.............. ; etc...
ldi drwr,table.w ; The data rom window register is initialzed.
And to use it:
ld x, a2dresult
ld a, (x)
* A/D Conversion - JvK
An A/D conversion takes about 70 microseconds for a 8 MHz crystal, not 70
milliseconds as printed in some databooks. Only ONE I/O line can be programmed
as an analog input line!
* Getting the most out of the A/D converter - DL
The best accuracy is obtained by putting the ST6 to sleep, and making sure that
there has been no processor activity during the conversion. Hence the use of
two flags. All other interrupts except the A/D interrupt set the ad_bad_flag.
The A/D interrupt sets the ad_good_flag if the ad_bad_flag has not been set.
a2d1:
clr adbadflag
clr adgoodflag
ldi adcr,a2don ; turn on set up and start a2d
wait
nop ; A TO D INTERRUPT HERE
ld a,adgoodflag
jrz a2d1 ; if not marked as good, do it again
; an untroubled conversion...
Note the nop after the wait. It is *important*.
* Oversampling with the A/D - DL
Without wanting to go into any theory, you may increase the reliability of your
A/D conversions by sampling a few times and averaging. This would present
something of a computational challenge to the ST6, unless you use a couple of
tricks. Set up three locations thus:
ldi adbsum,00 ; bottom byte of result
ldi adtsum,00 ; top byte of result.
ldi adcount,16 ; NB this is a power of two
( code snipped as above )
ld a,adbsum
add a,adr ; add result to sum
ld adbsum,a
jrnc a2d2 ; if carry, then add 1 to top byte
inc adtsum
a2d2:
dec adcount
jrz a2dend ; if adcount has rolled around, then quit
jp a2d1
After doing the conversion 16 times you have a total value that you wish to
divide by 16. This would be most easily accomplished by a shift right [#:-} so
instead we shift left into our adtsum thus:
a2dene:
jrz a2dfin ; z flag from ld above or dec below
ld a,adbsum
rlc a ; shift top bit into c flag
ld adbsum,a
ld a,adtsum
rlc a ; shift c flag into bottom bit
ld adtsum,a
dec v ; v loaded with number of shifts
jp a2dene
Here's an alternative method that I believe is significantly faster.
clr a
jrr 1,adtsum,a3s1 ; construct in accumulatoir using bit
; tests
ldi a,80h ; this is a 'divide by four' operation.
a3s1:
jrr 0,adtsum,a3s2
addi a,40h
a3s2:
jrr 7,adbsum,a3s3
addi a,20h
a3s3:
jrr 6,adbsum,a3s4
addi a,10h
............... etc..
If you like a good argument, find an appropriate Usenet newsgroup, and suggest
that this technique will allow you greater than eight bits of accuracy... Only
a few people on the net understand the subject. And they can't be bothered to
discuss it anymore, so the whole argument is conducted by people who don't know
what they're talking about. Actually, that's just like every other thread.
* Switching of I/O lines - DL
This must be done in the right order. At startup, I load them thus:
ldi dra,drabits ; set up I/O pins
ldi ddra,ddrabits
ldi ora,orabits
I have used copy registers for the data registers and option registers. This is
the sequence I settled on for changing an input to an output:
; SET PIN TO OUTPUT
ldi a,ddrabits
set a_databit,a
ld ddra,a
set a_databit,ora_out
ld a,ora_out
ld ora,a
set a_databit,prta_out
ld a,prta_out
ld dra,a
; END SET PIN
* Usage of the Timer (Square wave, time measurements etc.) - JvK
Reliable periodic timer interrupt interval. [under construction]
* Square wave.
You can use the following piece of code inside your timer interrupt routine:
jrr dout,tscr,lo_hi
hi_lo res dout,tscr
jp end_tim
lo_hi set dout,tscr
end_tim reti
The TIMER pin will switch value if a timer interrupt occurs. Be aware that the
value you set in the tscr register is provided to the TIMER pin the *next* time
the timer interrupt is generated.
* Usage of the watchdog timer - JvK
The watchdog timer generates a general reset as soon as it has counted down to
zero from its starting value. Be aware and reload the watchdog register
periodically to prevent this. Do this within your main code loop rather than
from within a timer interrupt; as otherwise you may have the ST6 crash without
ever being reset, as the timer interrupt / routine continue to work although
the main code has stopped working.
* Long Jump Macros (useful macros to elongate the short jumping conditional
jump operation). Version 960130 - EC
;long jump for jrnz instruction; use jumpnz instead of jrnz
.macro jumpnz jpadress,?lbl
jrz lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
;long jump for jrnc instruction; use jumpnc instead of jrnc
.macro jumpnc jpadress,?lbl
jrc lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
;long jump for jrz instruction; use jumpz instead of jrz
.macro jumpz jpadress,?lbl
jrnz lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
;long jump for jrc instruction; use jumpc instead of jrc
.macro jumpc jpadress,?lbl
jrnc lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
* What you have to keep in mind when switching between EPROM/OTP/ROM Version
951130 - EC
* Programming Mode:
The programming mode of the EPROM and OTP types is configured by setting a
voltage of 12.5 V to the Test/Vpp pin.
* ROM option emulation:
On the EPROM/OTP devices it is possible to emulate the option mask of the ROM
devices by an "Option Byte" that can be programmed with the programming tools.
This "Option byte" is automatically read and the selected options is switched
on.
Setting high the bit D7 of the option byte it is possible to prevent (by
hardware) the readout of the software contents.
* ST624X ROM BANKING ALERT
From SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2) it is possible to read the
following Application tip n. 4: Hans Reichmeyer, Grafing:
The ROM Bank switch Register RBSR of the ST6 family members with 8k of ROM
space has a difference in functionality between EPROM and ROM devices.
The ROM bank switch register in ROM devices is NOT initialised during reset and
contains arbitrary information after power up. To addressa page in the program
address range from 0 to 7FF, the ROM bank switch register must be loaded first.
The ROM bank switch register in EPROM devices IS cleared during reset and
addresses page 0 after power up.
A problem can arise if a user forgets to load RSBR in his software.When the
program accesses page 0 in an EPROM device, the device will behave correctly
(as RBSR is cleared at reset), whereas a ROM device will have an undefined
function... and will probably cause a program failure.
Thus it is mandatory to load RSBR before accessing the paged program address
region.
The family members affected are ST6240/E40.
Users of these devices should be made aware of this to prevent any problem in
the use of the ROM device after successful debugging with the EPROM device.
* XOR LOGIC OPERATION (Version 960406 - EC)
From SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2) it is possible to read the
following Application note
XOR.ASM - Release 1.00 / June 1994
By Guy DELACHANAL - Dev.Tools & Application Department
GRENOBLE - FRANCE
PURPOSE: perform XOR logic operation between two bytes
(This operation is not provided in the ST6 instruction set)
INPUT VARIABLES: V0 and V1
OUTPUT: ACCUMULATOR A
WORK REGISTER: MASK
Note: This routine may be used with any ST6 family MCU
Note: do not forget to define the V0, V1, MASK labels !
xor LD a,V0 ; First operand
AND a,V1 ; Only the bits that are "1" in both V0 and V1 are still
; "1" in accumulator A
NEGA ; These bits are now "0" (and the others "1")
LD MASK,A ; Let's save this "mask" into MASK register
ANDA V0 ; Resets the V0 bits that where "1" in both V0 and V1
; Other bits are left to their initial value
ADDA V1 ; Sets all the bits that where "1" in V1
; Other bits are left to their initial value
ANDA MASK ; Resets the bits that where "1" in both V0 and V1
; Other bits are left to their initial value
; ACCUMULTOR A is now the result
* OR LOGIC OPERATION (version 960406 - EC)
PURPOSE: perform OR logic operation on a byte
(This operation is not provided in the ST6 instruction set)
The Morgan law can help: OR = not(not A AND not B) so if we want
to set the bit 0 of a byte the routine is:
load a,byte
com a
andi a,11111110b
com a
ld byte,a
* OR LOGIC OPERATION (version 960930 - SG)
this OR's a and x, v is a temp register
ld a,v
com a
and a,x
add a,v
* OR LOGIC OPERATION (version 970109 - SG)
a more efficient OR routine is ... a OR x
ld v,a
com a
and a,x
add a,v
Which seems to work.
#6.9) Miscellaneous Documentation (EC!)
From the SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2 EXAMPLES DIRECTORY
\Application tips\Atip.txt #22) it is possible to read the following
Programming Techniques:
ST6 GOOD PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 1.1
The ST6 Applications Team
* Define all standard Registers for the device in a separate file:
* Use same register names for all your applications
* Include the file in your code with .INPUT directive
* Use complete .DEF directives to name all your registers:
* Makes a program more readable
* Allows the Assembler to check for Read/Write errors
* Clearly separate Code from Data in ROM:
* Remember that .WINDOW simplifies access to data
* Use X, Y, V, W Registers when possible to optimize code
* Avoid use of SINGLE BIT instructions on I/O Ports and Write/Only Registers:
* Remember to use shadow registers
* Single Bit instructions are: SET, RES, JRS, JRR
* Remember to initialise Reset and Interrupt vectors with JP instructions:
* Use .SECTION 32 for vector addresses
* Unused interrupts can be directed to a RETI instruction
* Observe the correct sequences for modifying I/O port status:
* Prevent unwanted interrupts
* Put a RETI instruction at the beginning of the code:
* IF you want to use interrupts later
* Stop Timer, or clear Timer Interrupt in service Routine:
* Prevent unwanted Timer interrupts
* Remember to leave at least one instruction (e.g. NOP) after powering the
ADC:
* Allow the ADC to settle before taking a reading
* Set the Emulator Hardware/Software Watchdog jumper to suit the ST62:
* Prevent Watchdog problems with ROM/EPROM/OTP ST62/HWD devices
* Place commonly used subroutines in separate modules:
* Can be used in many projects
* No need to debug more than once
* Document: function, variables[in,out,used] and stack level in header
* Place commonly used code segments into macros:
* Reduce stacking levels with in-line code
* Create a Macro Library
* Check on Stacking Level:
* Prevent hardware stack overflow causing program fail
* Always use .EQU directives to define constants:
* Allows fast updating
* Reduces the chance of leaving some values unchanged
* Use .SECTION and not .ORG Assembler directives:
* Make code relocatable, and portable to other applications
* Let the Linker command line define absolute locations
* Choose your symbol names appropriately and consistently
* Use comments as much as possible:
* The code may not be so clear at a later date, even tomorrow
* Backup your files regularly:
* Power cuts and other non-maskable interrupts can erase work in progress
* Document all changes on a regular basis:
* You may need to recover a previous state
* or specify a Document Change Notice

###1) ABOUT THIS FAQ (LS*)
#1.1) Who put this FAQ together? (LS*)
Based on the pre-work of the authors of
Microcontroller-FAQ/Primer,
68HC11-FAQ,
8051-FAQ Russ Hersch (sibit@datasrv.co.il),
COP8-FAQ Robin Getz (rgetz@esd.nsc.com),
PIC-FAQ Tom Kellett (tom@takdsign.demon.co.uk)
this proposal ST6-FAQ was initiated by
Emilio Caggiano (caggiano@vm.csata.it) (*EC*),
Jerry van Kampen (jvkamp42@worldaccess.nl) (*JvK*),
Leonhard Schneider (ubie@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de) (*LS*).
We decided to take the format and whatever was reasonable to be taken from the
for-runner FAQS (with permission of the authors). The unique "#" character in
front of the chapter numbers we put there to ease forward/backward skipping
using search commands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To link an HTML version of this FAQ to his "ChipDir" was an idea of
Jaap van Ganswijk (ganswijk@xs4all.nl) (*JvG*).
Another HTML version of ST6-FAQ is kept by
Filip Gieszczykiewicz (filip@alpha.smi.med.pitt.edu) (*FG*).
... although we are not informed if efforts are taken to keep these HTML
versions up-to-date. So have a look at the date and be suspicious if you detect
one of the type "yyyy/mm/dd B.C."

Articles offered to the maintainers of this ST6-FAQ must be free to be
published on The Net.
If you give names of ftp/html-sites, please use URL conventions (rfc1630), even
if WE didn't do it by accident (but please point to our mistakes).
We certainly hope that those of you who know of interesting items for the ST6
will share with everyone by contributing to this project.
If you are a manufacturer and have an anonymous ftp site available that
supports the ST6, please let us know by Email so that we can add it to this
FAQ.
#1.3) What Newsgroups will this FAQ be posted to? (LS%)
This FAQ will NOT be cross-posted to newsgroups anymore, because
* there are several sites now archiving the ST6FAQ in US-America, Australia,
and Europe;
* the FAQ grew up to 100k in size and we assume too few people are interested
in ST6 subject, not justifying the effort to periodically cross-post a FAQ
of this size to several newsgroups;
* the advances of this FAQ are mostly marginal.
If there are updates of the ST6FAQ, a short announcement/reminder will be
cross-posted to the following newsgroups:
* alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt [231]
Homebrew computers of all kinds.
* comp.arch.embedded [232]
Embedded computer systems topics
* sci.electronics.misc [233]
Circuits, theory, electrons and discussions
Issues of ST6FAQ will be updated once a month. We can't promise that it will be
on time, but we hope to post it on the *6th* of each month. Easy to remember,
isn't it: ST6 at 6th?
You may also want to check out the following newsgroups, since they may
occasionally have items of interest for ST6 users.
* alt.lang.asm [234]
* comp.lang.misc [235]
And probably later, depending on what people think....
* comp.answers [236]
* news.answers [237]
* sci.answers [238]
The first three newsgroups mentioned often contain discussions, announcements,
or information on microcontrollers. Check them out from time to time.
Later on, by posting to the *.answers newsgroups, the FAQ will perhaps be
archived automatically. The archive name of this FAQ (also included in the
header) is supposed to be:
microcontroller-faq/ST6.
#1.4) Where is this FAQ archived? (LS+970730)
Daniel Pfarrer generously and non-bureautcratically gave an USAmerican home to
ST6FAQ; you may obtain the latest issue
* via www:

* via anonymous ftp:
ftp://ftp.gsp.com/pub/st6/st6faq.zip [241]
* via e-mail:
... if you have no access to WWW then make use of "webmail"
by sending e-mail to appropriate server:

w3mail@gmd.de GET W3Mail in Germany
in BODY:
GET http://www.gsp.com/st6/st6faq.txt
Even more simple:
Instead of using "webmail" to get a ascii copy of ST6FAQ
you can send a blank message to GSP's file-on-demand server:
"st6faq@gsp.com"
and the request will be processed and sent.
The entire content of both the subject line and the message
(body) does not matter.
This way there is no list of commands that anyone has to enter.
... if you have no chance to perform ftp,
you may use a "ftpmail" server:

The archive sites mentioned before (and eventually others we don't know of)
should carry an issue of ST6FAQ not older than a month, approximately. Even if
ST6FAQ doesn't advance very fast: if you detect an "ancient" version somewhere,
please contact the maintainer of the site (not the poor maintainers of the
ST6FAQ, please!) and ask her/him to update. You could also tell her/him (how)
to contact the maintainers of the ST6FAQ for enrollment into the update mailing
list.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also can imagine that once in a while (if constellation of stars and planets
will offer favourable opportunities) one may find ST6FAQ also there:

#1.5) May I distribute this FAQ or post it somewhere else? (LS*)
We are putting no restrictions on the use of this FAQ except - It must be
distributed in its entirely with the copyright notice, and no financial gain
may be realized from it. After all, we have spent, and continue to spend, a lot
of time on this, and the only thing that we intend to gain from it is more
information on the ST6, and getting to know fellow ST6 groupies better.
REMEMBER ! If you choose to upload this FAQ to any BBS or ftp site, then *YOU*
are responsible for updating it regularly.

###2) ABOUT THE ST6-FAMILY OF MICROCONTROLLERS (JvK?)
#2.1) The ST6xxx Microcontrollers (YH980507)
* ST62 subfamilies are:
ST620X : Smallest general purpose with A/D convertor
ST621X : Very small general purpose with A/D convertor
ST622X : Small general purpose with AD converter
ST626X : Small general purpose with AD converter, PWM and EEPROM
ST624X : LCD driver
ST628X : Dot matrix driver
* ST63xx family is used for TV applications.
* ST62xx and ST63xx families have the same, small instruction set.
#2.2) Common / New ST6 variants (YH980507)
Common feature of ST62 devices is the (said) high noise immunity. It enables
the designer to design an application without spending much time on adjusting
capacitors, shieldings, ground ... See Application note AN435 in the ST62
General Purpose Application Manual for more detail on this point.
Here is some info concerning ST620* new products.
In fact, these chips are aimed at high volume low end applications. They are
subsets of ST6225 device and available in ROM and OTP version.
Device rom size number of pins Misc
------ -------- -------------- ----
ST6200 1Kb 16 ADC present
ST6201 2Kb 16 ADC present
ST6203 1Kb 16 no ADC
------ -------- -------------- ----
ST6208 1Kb 20 no ADC
ST6209 1Kb 20 ADC present
ST6210 2Kb 20 ADC present
The St6253 is another subset but of st6265, but with 2Kb rom instead of 4Kb, no
spi, no eeprom.
Their main advantage is their price compared to other st62xx devices.
#2.3) Technical Details (speed, power, EMI, instruction set) (SGS?)

#2.5) Device List (YH980507)
The devices differ in on-chip resources and in pin-out, as this NEW list shows:

Taking full advantage of its company's leading know-how in the non volatile
memory area, SGS-Thomson has developed a new production flow making it possible
to customize the micrcontrollers in the assembly plant using prediffused
wafers, instead of making it during making it during diffusion process as for
ROM devices.

#2.9) Advantages realized in implementing Control Applications on this Family
of Microcontrollers (EC!)
The following contribution is by David Giles from EURODIS HB ELECTRONICS Ltd
Bolton, UK (SGS-THOMSON Device Distributor):
Someone once said "Most micros can do most jobs.", and for many application
this is certainly true. However, the ST6 has many attributes that made it
ideally suited to many embedded control applications. Detailed below are some
of them.
The ST6 micro has one of the most versatile I/O structure for a low end 8 bit
micro that is currently on the market. Each I/O bit can be configured for
either input mode, or output mode. The ports can be configured to have one of
the following modes:
i) Input Mode, No Pull Up Resistor & No Interrupts
ii) Input Mode, With Pull Up Resistors & No Interrupts
iii) Input Mode, With Pull Up resistors & With Interrupts
iv) Analogue A/D Input (8 Bit Resolution)
v) Output Mode, Open Collector (Some Pins 20mA sink)
vi) Output Mode, Push Pull (Some Pins 20mA sink)
For those pins which are configured with interrupts, it is possible to set a
global edge selection bit which determines whether the interrupt is a rising
edge or falling edge sensitive. The clear advantage of using a micro with this
I/O flexibility is to reduce the number of external components required to
complete the design, and hence the material and manufacturing costs. This is
particularly important in markets such as White & Brown Goods, Automotive, and
also in market segment with a high degree of competitiveness such as Security.
- High Noise Immunity -
The ST6 has been designed to work in electrically noisy environments such as
automobiles and industrial premises. As such it offers a high degree of noise
immunity and high levels of device integrity. It can for example directly drive
triacs in mains lighting applications without the need to electrically isolate
the micro from the triac or the mains. Each I/O pin when configured for input
mode has a Schmitt Trigger input to help with noise rejection. Each device pin
has two antistatic protection diodes to prevent device damage. These diode also
prevent the device from latching up should an overvoltage/ undervoltage
condition appear on an I/O pin. The I/O pins when configured for push-pull
operation will change state as required from one state to another, but at a
controlled rate. As a consequence the transition slope is slewed very slightly
to prevent unwanted oscillation, and also to reduce EMC radiation. All ST6
family members have a watchdog timer on board. This timer can be used to detect
a software upset and to force the device into a controlled recovery. The micro
can observe the watchdog timer register value and can effectively determine
whether device integrity has been lost. Most micros have watchdog timers but
not all of them allow you to inspect its value.
- Data ROM Window -
The ST6 has a data ROM window which is a hardware mechanism that allows the
indexing and hence examination of the program memory by software. Tables of
data, both large and small can for example be stored in the program memory and
accessed by the software. The whole of the program memory can be accessed via
the Data ROM Window and hence the software can self check itself on power up to
determine whether there has been corruption of the EPROM/ROM memory. This is a
statuary requirement in many countries for applications such as fire detection.
Not all micros are capable of doing this, the Microchip PIC16Cxx family for
example is one.
- High Code Packing Density -
The ST6 microcontroller architecture is common throughout the family of
devices. The program memory is segmented into blocks of 2k bytes. The larger
family members, 8k for example, use a page banking mechanism with a static 2k
page being used as a jumping off point to the other 3 pages of code. The main
advantage of this type of memory organisation is the number of digital bits
that are required to describe an absolute address. An absolute address
therefore requires only 12 digital bits of information. A jump to an absolute
address therefor only requires 12 bits to describe the address and hence the op
code and data can be described within a two byte word. Hence CALL and JP
instructions only consume 2 bytes or 16 bits of program memory. The reduced
instruction set common to the ST6 family members also favours good code packing
density. Because there are fewer op codes you need fewer bits to describe the
instruction. There are only 4 instructions on the ST6 that are 3 byte
instructions, all the others are either 1 or 2 bytes. This means the ST6
instruction set is efficient in memory usage.
- Established World Wide Customer Base -
The ST6 micro controller business world wide is worth between $200 & $300
million currently with sales expanding at a phenomenal rate. As such the
prospects for the device in the future are very good. SGS Thomson have several
new family members on the drawing board and will be launching these new devices
before very long. The design is therefore mature and has been proven in the
market place. Most devices are supported with low cost development tools and as
such the entry costs to the architecture are extremely low.

Free Software for ST62 Development Tools from SGS-Thomson
Technical information is available on CD-ROM and on Internet in the form of
"Web" pages:
- The CD-ROM is split into two main parts consisting of a "Book Shop" area and
a "Development Tools" area with a third area containing viewer software to
allow browsing through the contents of the CD-ROM.
The development tools section contains ten fully released software tools plus a
couple of programs which are offered as beta versions- that is they are not
fully fledged programs but are offered as 'tasters' of a new software tool
which will shortly become available in 'fully released' form.
The full released tools include a family wide assembler and linker, software
simulator , Realizer, and other essential parts of the developers' software
tool kit while one of the Beta releases is of a 'C' compiler which will be of
interest to many programmers.
- Free Software for ST62 Development tools can be obtained by downloading from
ST on-line :

ACTUM REALIZER
Software Aided Computer Engineering for ST62 8-Bit Microcontrollers, MS Windows
3 Edition: ST6-REALIZER/PC
The software allows to generate the program code with the following steps:
* You draw the schematic circuit of the application with the symbol available
in the graphic system instead to writing the assembly code.
* Check the integrity of the graphical description, verify I/O assignment
etc. with the Analize Menu.
* The software develops automatically the program code and all files related
to the ST62 target.
* The Simulate Menu allows to monitor the signals of the application,
directly on the graphical description without to build hardware for
debugging.
Note: In the SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 - Grenoble BBS) it is available the
Demo-Realizer Pack software and some application notes as the AN676 and AN677
with this tool.

#6.6) Problems / Bugs (chips, hardware, software) (YH980507)
* Windows 95 - DG (David Giles)
I have noticed that many people have problems with running the SGS Thomson ST6
Starter Kits programming software under Windows 95. Most people that have tried
to do this have had problems. Fortunately there is a simple solution. Include
the line "switches=/c" in the config.sys file, and the problem disappears.
* Corruption of On Board EEPROM With ST626x/4x Devices - DG
On the ST62T60/65 devices there is 128 bytes of EEPROM and it is normally used
for storing calibration data etc. for use in the application. A common problem
with many designs in the apparent corruption of this on board EEPROM. The main
reason for the corruption is due to poor management of the RESET pin on the ST6
device. In cost sensitive designs the hardware designer will use only a small
reset capacitor, 100nF or so, connected between the RESET pin and ground.
During power up the voltage on the reset pin will lag behind slightly the power
supply voltage, so during the power up phase the microcontroller will be held
in reset until the voltage on the reset pin is sufficiently high enough to
release the micro. This works well during power up. However on power down, the
voltage on the RESET pin will collapse at the samerate as the power supply
voltage. At about 3 volts or so the microcontrollercan not guarantee reliable
operation and device integrity is lost. At this point the microcontroller can
start to write garbage into its register spaceand hence corrupt the EEPROM.
Also the I/O pins on the micrcontroller can be corrupted and hence spurious LED
operation, if connected to the I/O pins,can be observed. Hence corruption of
the EEPROM is possible during the power down phase. This can be confirmed in
your application by following the sequence below:
* Set up the EEPROM registers in your software, loading them with known
values.
* Power up your application in the normal way.
* Before powering down your circuit connected the RESET pin down to ground
via a wire link.
* Power down your board and remove the ST6 device.
* Check the value of the EEPROM with the SGS Thomson Starter Kit
Programming Software and perform an upload of the EEPROM.
* If the EEPROM remains uncorrupted then the problem of corruption is due
to poor management of the RESET pin.
Solving the problem is easy. You will need to add a brownout detector onto the
power supply lines, and connect the output to the reset pin. Methods of doing
this are described in Apps Notes AN669 Simple Reset Circuit For The ST6, and
AN671 Prevention Of Data Corruption In ST6 On Chip EEPROM.
#6.7) Hardware Hints and Tips
* TEST pin - JvK
Always connect the TEST pin to ground; in the manual an on-chip pull-down
resistor is mentioned, but in fact it is not there or it simply does not
function correctly.
* ST62 EPROM TEST/VPP Pull-down Resistor - EC
(read adjacent table YH980507 also for more recent info)
From SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2) it is possible to read the
following Application tip n. 34:
Agnes Cacciaguerra, Rousset Thibault Brunet, Rousset:
EPROM members of the ST62 MCU family use the pin labelled TEST on the
equivalent ROM-based ST62, but with the additional function as the input for
the programming voltage, VPP, for the EPROM. Normally for the ROM devices the
TEST input has an internal pull-down resistor allowing the device to have this
pin not-connected in the circuit, while preventing unauthorized access to the
TEST functions.
Several members of the ST62 EPROM based devices have been found to NOT have
this pull-down resistor on the VPP/TEST input of the devices. This may cause a
malfunction of the system or high current consumption of the device if the TEST
input is allowed to float high.
For this reason VPP/TEST pin must not be left open. It is advised to connect
this input to Ground via a resistor of 50k to 100kOhm.
This applies to the devices shown in the following table for devices currently
available. All future devices will have this pull-down resistor.
Table of ST62 Devices with/without Pull down resistor on the VDD/TEST pin:

Note: All ROM Codes dating after July 1992 have used the revised mask set,
unless otherwise specified by the customer. In detail this applies to devices
with the SGS-THOMSON specified ROM code identifier greater than SP, (excepting
PK, SL and SN).
ST6 ROM code identifiers are used to replace the /XX part of the sales type to
specify the customer ROM code used. The sequence has been for two alphabetic
letters incrementing in alpha order (i.e. AA-AZ, BA-BZ etc). From code YS
however, ROM code identifiers have been restarting in an alpha/number sequence
(i.e. A0-A9, B0 to B9 and so on). Check your part number (specified on the
order, as, if custom marking has been requested, the part number may not appear
on the package itself) if you wish to be sure. In case of doubt, contact the
local SGS-THOMSON marketing person.

* What you have to keep in mind when switching between EPROM/OTP/ROM Version
951130 - EC
The ST62EXX microcontroller type is the EPROM version of this family. They are
intended for use during the development of an application or for pre-prodution
and small volume prodution.
The ST62TXX OTP type (One Time Programmable) have the same characteristics of
the EPROM except that they cannot be erased. From the user's point of view,
once programmed, the OTP and EPROM types have exactly the same software and
hardware features as the ROM version, except for the following parts:
* No internal pull-up resistor available on pin NMI;
* No internal pull-up resistor available on pin Timer.
But also see article "ST624X ROM BANKING ALERT" in chapter "Software Hints and
Tips"
* EPROM erasing - EC
The EPROM may be erased by esposure to the Ultra violet light. The erasure of
the EPROM begins when the memory is exposed to light with a wave lengths
shorter than approximately 2700 A. The SGS-Thomsom recommmends an exposure to
short wave ultraviolet light which have a wave-lenght of 2537 A. The integrated
dose (UV intensity by exposure time) for erasure should be a minimum of 15 W
sec/cm2. The erasure time with this dosage is approximately 15 to 20 minutes
using an ultraviolet lamp with 1200 microW/cm2 power rating. The life of the
EPROM is reduced if the exposure is over 50 minutes The devices should be
placed within 2.5 cm of the lamp tubes during erasure.
* USING ST62XX I/O PORTS SAFELY - EC
The application notes AN432 by J.Stockinger on the SGS-THOMSON Application
Manual (1^ FREE Edition-January 1995) is very clear for understanding the
architecture of the I/O bit associated with these port functions and provide
additional indications on the correct use of these features for functions as
keybord scanning and analog inputs.
#6.8) Software Hints and Tips
* Reset - Jvk
After reset is a good time to start the timer, configure the I/O lines, and set
up the data rom window register. Start your reset routine by reloading the
watchdog timer, and finish it with:
reti
nop
* The Stack - DL
The stack is a hardware stack. This means that you are quite limited in the
number of calls that can be nested, as you have to save some stack space for
the interrupts.
* Interrupts - JvK
Disable the A/D conversion interrupt as soon as you enter the interrupt
routines. The end of conversion state is still valid after the interrupt
routine ends and can generate another interrupt request.
It seems that you would have to do the same with all other interrupts, but I'm
not quite sure, since I haven't had any problems with them.
* The data window - DL
This is useful. I have used it when converting an A/D result into a value to be
compared with another A/D result. The required calculation (multiply by 0.62)
was a bit beyond the ST6, so I used a 256 byte look-up table of the result.
You can set it up like this:
.w_on ; enable data rom window
.org 80h
.block 64-$%64 ; Force page boundary.
table
.byte 000h,004h,008h,00bh,00fh,013h,017h,01ah
.byte 01eh,022h,026h,029h,02dh,031h,035h,038h
.byte 0.............. ; etc...
ldi drwr,table.w ; The data rom window register is initialzed.
And to use it:
ld x, a2dresult
ld a, (x)
* A/D Conversion - JvK
An A/D conversion takes about 70 microseconds for a 8 MHz crystal, not 70
milliseconds as printed in some databooks. Only ONE I/O line can be programmed
as an analog input line!
* Getting the most out of the A/D converter - DL
The best accuracy is obtained by putting the ST6 to sleep, and making sure that
there has been no processor activity during the conversion. Hence the use of
two flags. All other interrupts except the A/D interrupt set the ad_bad_flag.
The A/D interrupt sets the ad_good_flag if the ad_bad_flag has not been set.
a2d1:
clr adbadflag
clr adgoodflag
ldi adcr,a2don ; turn on set up and start a2d
wait
nop ; A TO D INTERRUPT HERE
ld a,adgoodflag
jrz a2d1 ; if not marked as good, do it again
; an untroubled conversion...
Note the nop after the wait. It is *important*.
* Oversampling with the A/D - DL
Without wanting to go into any theory, you may increase the reliability of your
A/D conversions by sampling a few times and averaging. This would present
something of a computational challenge to the ST6, unless you use a couple of
tricks. Set up three locations thus:
ldi adbsum,00 ; bottom byte of result
ldi adtsum,00 ; top byte of result.
ldi adcount,16 ; NB this is a power of two
( code snipped as above )
ld a,adbsum
add a,adr ; add result to sum
ld adbsum,a
jrnc a2d2 ; if carry, then add 1 to top byte
inc adtsum
a2d2:
dec adcount
jrz a2dend ; if adcount has rolled around, then quit
jp a2d1
After doing the conversion 16 times you have a total value that you wish to
divide by 16. This would be most easily accomplished by a shift right [#:-} so
instead we shift left into our adtsum thus:
a2dene:
jrz a2dfin ; z flag from ld above or dec below
ld a,adbsum
rlc a ; shift top bit into c flag
ld adbsum,a
ld a,adtsum
rlc a ; shift c flag into bottom bit
ld adtsum,a
dec v ; v loaded with number of shifts
jp a2dene
Here's an alternative method that I believe is significantly faster.
clr a
jrr 1,adtsum,a3s1 ; construct in accumulatoir using bit
; tests
ldi a,80h ; this is a 'divide by four' operation.
a3s1:
jrr 0,adtsum,a3s2
addi a,40h
a3s2:
jrr 7,adbsum,a3s3
addi a,20h
a3s3:
jrr 6,adbsum,a3s4
addi a,10h
............... etc..
If you like a good argument, find an appropriate Usenet newsgroup, and suggest
that this technique will allow you greater than eight bits of accuracy... Only
a few people on the net understand the subject. And they can't be bothered to
discuss it anymore, so the whole argument is conducted by people who don't know
what they're talking about. Actually, that's just like every other thread.
* Switching of I/O lines - DL
This must be done in the right order. At startup, I load them thus:
ldi dra,drabits ; set up I/O pins
ldi ddra,ddrabits
ldi ora,orabits
I have used copy registers for the data registers and option registers. This is
the sequence I settled on for changing an input to an output:
; SET PIN TO OUTPUT
ldi a,ddrabits
set a_databit,a
ld ddra,a
set a_databit,ora_out
ld a,ora_out
ld ora,a
set a_databit,prta_out
ld a,prta_out
ld dra,a
; END SET PIN
* Usage of the Timer (Square wave, time measurements etc.) - JvK
Reliable periodic timer interrupt interval. [under construction]
* Square wave.
You can use the following piece of code inside your timer interrupt routine:
jrr dout,tscr,lo_hi
hi_lo res dout,tscr
jp end_tim
lo_hi set dout,tscr
end_tim reti
The TIMER pin will switch value if a timer interrupt occurs. Be aware that the
value you set in the tscr register is provided to the TIMER pin the *next* time
the timer interrupt is generated.
* Usage of the watchdog timer - JvK
The watchdog timer generates a general reset as soon as it has counted down to
zero from its starting value. Be aware and reload the watchdog register
periodically to prevent this. Do this within your main code loop rather than
from within a timer interrupt; as otherwise you may have the ST6 crash without
ever being reset, as the timer interrupt / routine continue to work although
the main code has stopped working.
* Long Jump Macros (useful macros to elongate the short jumping conditional
jump operation). Version 960130 - EC
;long jump for jrnz instruction; use jumpnz instead of jrnz
.macro jumpnz jpadress,?lbl
jrz lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
;long jump for jrnc instruction; use jumpnc instead of jrnc
.macro jumpnc jpadress,?lbl
jrc lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
;long jump for jrz instruction; use jumpz instead of jrz
.macro jumpz jpadress,?lbl
jrnz lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
;long jump for jrc instruction; use jumpc instead of jrc
.macro jumpc jpadress,?lbl
jrnc lbl
jp jpadress
lbl
.endm
* What you have to keep in mind when switching between EPROM/OTP/ROM Version
951130 - EC
* Programming Mode:
The programming mode of the EPROM and OTP types is configured by setting a
voltage of 12.5 V to the Test/Vpp pin.
* ROM option emulation:
On the EPROM/OTP devices it is possible to emulate the option mask of the ROM
devices by an "Option Byte" that can be programmed with the programming tools.
This "Option byte" is automatically read and the selected options is switched
on.
Setting high the bit D7 of the option byte it is possible to prevent (by
hardware) the readout of the software contents.
* ST624X ROM BANKING ALERT
From SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2) it is possible to read the
following Application tip n. 4: Hans Reichmeyer, Grafing:
The ROM Bank switch Register RBSR of the ST6 family members with 8k of ROM
space has a difference in functionality between EPROM and ROM devices.
The ROM bank switch register in ROM devices is NOT initialised during reset and
contains arbitrary information after power up. To addressa page in the program
address range from 0 to 7FF, the ROM bank switch register must be loaded first.
The ROM bank switch register in EPROM devices IS cleared during reset and
addresses page 0 after power up.
A problem can arise if a user forgets to load RSBR in his software.When the
program accesses page 0 in an EPROM device, the device will behave correctly
(as RBSR is cleared at reset), whereas a ROM device will have an undefined
function... and will probably cause a program failure.
Thus it is mandatory to load RSBR before accessing the paged program address
region.
The family members affected are ST6240/E40.
Users of these devices should be made aware of this to prevent any problem in
the use of the ROM device after successful debugging with the EPROM device.
* XOR LOGIC OPERATION (Version 960406 - EC)
From SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2) it is possible to read the
following Application note
XOR.ASM - Release 1.00 / June 1994
By Guy DELACHANAL - Dev.Tools & Application Department
GRENOBLE - FRANCE
PURPOSE: perform XOR logic operation between two bytes
(This operation is not provided in the ST6 instruction set)
INPUT VARIABLES: V0 and V1
OUTPUT: ACCUMULATOR A
WORK REGISTER: MASK
Note: This routine may be used with any ST6 family MCU
Note: do not forget to define the V0, V1, MASK labels !
xor LD a,V0 ; First operand
AND a,V1 ; Only the bits that are "1" in both V0 and V1 are still
; "1" in accumulator A
NEGA ; These bits are now "0" (and the others "1")
LD MASK,A ; Let's save this "mask" into MASK register
ANDA V0 ; Resets the V0 bits that where "1" in both V0 and V1
; Other bits are left to their initial value
ADDA V1 ; Sets all the bits that where "1" in V1
; Other bits are left to their initial value
ANDA MASK ; Resets the bits that where "1" in both V0 and V1
; Other bits are left to their initial value
; ACCUMULTOR A is now the result
* OR LOGIC OPERATION (version 960406 - EC)
PURPOSE: perform OR logic operation on a byte
(This operation is not provided in the ST6 instruction set)
The Morgan law can help: OR = not(not A AND not B) so if we want
to set the bit 0 of a byte the routine is:
load a,byte
com a
andi a,11111110b
com a
ld byte,a
* OR LOGIC OPERATION (version 960930 - SG)
this OR's a and x, v is a temp register
ld a,v
com a
and a,x
add a,v
* OR LOGIC OPERATION (version 970109 - SG)
a more efficient OR routine is ... a OR x
ld v,a
com a
and a,x
add a,v
Which seems to work.
#6.9) Miscellaneous Documentation (EC!)
From the SGS-THOMSON BBS (see item #3.3 and #4.2 EXAMPLES DIRECTORY
\Application tips\Atip.txt #22) it is possible to read the following
Programming Techniques:
ST6 GOOD PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES 1.1
The ST6 Applications Team
* Define all standard Registers for the device in a separate file:
* Use same register names for all your applications
* Include the file in your code with .INPUT directive
* Use complete .DEF directives to name all your registers:
* Makes a program more readable
* Allows the Assembler to check for Read/Write errors
* Clearly separate Code from Data in ROM:
* Remember that .WINDOW simplifies access to data
* Use X, Y, V, W Registers when possible to optimize code
* Avoid use of SINGLE BIT instructions on I/O Ports and Write/Only Registers:
* Remember to use shadow registers
* Single Bit instructions are: SET, RES, JRS, JRR
* Remember to initialise Reset and Interrupt vectors with JP instructions:
* Use .SECTION 32 for vector addresses
* Unused interrupts can be directed to a RETI instruction
* Observe the correct sequences for modifying I/O port status:
* Prevent unwanted interrupts
* Put a RETI instruction at the beginning of the code:
* IF you want to use interrupts later
* Stop Timer, or clear Timer Interrupt in service Routine:
* Prevent unwanted Timer interrupts
* Remember to leave at least one instruction (e.g. NOP) after powering the
ADC:
* Allow the ADC to settle before taking a reading
* Set the Emulator Hardware/Software Watchdog jumper to suit the ST62:
* Prevent Watchdog problems with ROM/EPROM/OTP ST62/HWD devices
* Place commonly used subroutines in separate modules:
* Can be used in many projects
* No need to debug more than once
* Document: function, variables[in,out,used] and stack level in header
* Place commonly used code segments into macros:
* Reduce stacking levels with in-line code
* Create a Macro Library
* Check on Stacking Level:
* Prevent hardware stack overflow causing program fail
* Always use .EQU directives to define constants:
* Allows fast updating
* Reduces the chance of leaving some values unchanged
* Use .SECTION and not .ORG Assembler directives:
* Make code relocatable, and portable to other applications
* Let the Linker command line define absolute locations
* Choose your symbol names appropriately and consistently
* Use comments as much as possible:
* The code may not be so clear at a later date, even tomorrow
* Backup your files regularly:
* Power cuts and other non-maskable interrupts can erase work in progress
* Document all changes on a regular basis:
* You may need to recover a previous state
* or specify a Document Change Notice
