Section 16 User Break Controller (UBC)
The user break controller (UBC) provides functions that simplify program debugging. These
functions make it easy to design an effective self-monitoring debugger, enabling the chip to debug
programs without using an in-circuit emulator. Break conditions that can be set in the UBC are
instruction fetch or data read/write access, data size, data contents, address value, and stop timing
in the case of instruction fetch.
16.1 Features
The UBC has the following features:
• The following break comparison conditions can be set.
Number of break channels: two channels (channels A and B)
User break can be requested as either the independent or sequential condition on channels A
and B (sequential break: when channel A and channel B match with break conditions in the
different bus cycles in that order, a break condition is satisfied).
 Address (Compares addresses 32 bits):
Comparison bits are maskable in 1-bit units; user can mask addresses at lower 12 bits (4-k
page), lower 10 bits (1-k page), or any size of page, etc.
One of the two address buses (L-bus address (LAB) and I-bus address (IAB)) can be
selected.
 Data (only on channel B, 32-bit maskable)
One of the two data buses (logic data bus (LDB) and internal data bus (IDB)) can be
selected.
 Bus cycle: Instruction fetch or data access
 Read/write
 Operand size: Byte, word, or longword
• User break interrupt is generated upon satisfying break conditions. A user-designed user-break
condition interrupt exception processing routine can be run.
• In an instruction fetch cycle, it can be selected that a break is set before or after an instruction
is executed.
• Maximum repeat times for the break condition (only for channel B): 2¹² – 1 times.
• Four pairs of branch source/destination buffers.
