Description of Selected Instructions
XAS INSTRUCTION
XAS (Exchange A with SIO) copies C to the SKL latch and
exchanges the accumulator with the 4-bit contents of the
SIO register The contents of SIO will contain serial-in seri-
al-out shift register or binary counter data depending on the
value of the EN register If SIO is selected as a shift register
an XAS instruction can be performed once every 4 instruc-
tion cycles to effect a continuous data stream
LQID INSTRUCTION
LQID (Load Q Indirect) loads the 8-bit Q register with the
contents of ROM pointed to by the 11-bit word
PC10 PC8 A M LQID can be used for table lookup or code
conversion such as BCD to seven-segment The LQID in-
x x x struction ‘‘pushes’’ the stack (PCa1 SA SB SC)
and replaces the least significant 8 bits of the PC as follows
x x A PC7 4 RAM(B) PC3 0 leaving PC10 PC9 and
PC8 unchanged The ROM data pointed to by the new ad-
dress is fetched and loaded into the Q latches Next the
x x x stack is ‘‘popped’’ (SC SB SA PC) restoring the
saved value of PC to continue sequential program execu-
x tion Since LQID pushes SB SC the previous contents
of SC are lost
Note LQID uses 2 instruction cycles if executed one if skipped
JID INSTRUCTION
JID (Jump Indirect) is an indirect addressing instruction
transferring program control to a new ROM location pointed
to indirectly by A and M It loads the lower 8 bits of the ROM
address register PC with the contents of ROM addressed by
the 11-bit word PC10 8 A M PC10 PC9 and PC8 are not
affected by JID
Note JID uses 2 instruction cycles if executed one if skipped
SKT INSTRUCTION
The SKT (Skip On Timer) instruction tests the state of the T
counter overflow latch (see internal logic above) executing
the next program instruction if the latch is not set If the
latch has been set since the previous test the next program
instruction is skipped and the latch is reset The features
associated with this instruction allow the processor to gen-
erate its own time-base for real-time processing rather than
relying on an external input signal
Note If the most significant bit of the T counter is a 1 when a CAMT instruc-
tion loads the counter the overflow flag will be set The following
sample of codes should be used when loading the counter
CAMT load T counter
SKT skip if overflow flag is set and reset it
NOP
IT INSTRUCTION
The IT (idle till timer) instruction halts the processor and
puts it in an idle state until the time-base counter overflows
This idle state reduces current drain since all logic (except
the oscillator and time base counter) is stopped IT instruc-
tion is not allowed if the T counter is mask-programmed as
an external event counter (option 31e1)
INIL INSTRUCTION
INIL (Input IL Latches to A) inputs 2 latches IL3 and IL0
CKO and 0 into A The IL3 and IL0 latches are set if a low-
going pulse (‘‘1’’ to ‘‘0’’) has occurred on the IN3 and IN0
inputs since the last INIL instruction provided the input
pulse stays low for at least two instruction cycles Execution
of an INIL inputs IL3 and IL0 into A3 and A0 respectively
and resets these latches to allow them to respond to subse-
quent low-going pulses on the IN3 and IN0 lines If CKO is
mask programmed as a general purpose input an INIL will
input the state of CKO into A2 If CKO has not been so
programmed a ‘‘1’’ will be placed in A2 A0 is input into A1
IL latches are cleared on reset IL latches are not available
on the COP245C 225C and COP226C
INSTRUCTION SET NOTES
a The first word of a program (ROM address 0) must be a
CLRA (Clear A) instruction
b Although skipped instructions are not executed they are
still fetched from the program memory Thus program
paths take the same number of cycles whether instruc-
tions are skipped or executed except for JID and LQID
c The ROM is organized into pages of 64 words each The
Program Counter is a 11-bit binary counter and will count
through page boundaries If a JP JSRP JID or LQID is
the last word of a page it operates as if it were in the next
page For example a JP located in the last word of a
page will jump to a location in the next page Also a JID
or LQID located in the last word of every fourth page (i e
hex address 0FF 1FF 2FF 3FF 4FF etc ) will access
data in the next group of four pages
Note The COP224C 225C 226C needs only 10 bits to address its ROM
Therefore the eleventh bit (P10) is ignored
Power Dissipation
The lowest power drain is when the clock is stopped As the
frequency increases so does current Current is also lower
at lower operating voltages Therefore the user should run
at the lowest speed and voltage that his application will al-
low The user should take care that all pins swing to full
supply levels to insure that outputs are not loaded down and
that inputs are not at some intermediate level which may
draw current Any input with a slow rise or fall time will draw
additional current A crystal or resonator generated clock
input will draw additional current For example a 500 kHz
crystal input will typically draw 100 mA more than a square-
wave input An R C oscillator will draw even more current
since the input is a slow rising signal
If using an external squarewave oscillator the following
equation can be used to calculate operating current drain
