Introduction
1.1
Description
Introduction
The ST10F272B / E device is a STMicroelectronics ST10 family of 16-bit single-chip CMOS

microcontrollers.
The ST10F272B / E combines high CPU performance (up to 20 million instructions per
second) with high peripheral functionality and enhanced I/O capabilities. It also provides onchip high-speed single voltage Flash memory, on-chip high-speed RAM, and clock
generation via PLL.
The ST10F272B / E is processed in 0.18mm CMOS technology.The part is supplied with a
single 5 V supply and I/Os work at 5 V.
1.2
Special characteristics
The ST10F272B and ST10F272E devices are derivatives of the STMicroelectronics ST10
family of 16-bit single-chip CMOS microcontrollers.
These two derivatives slightly differ on the available RAM size and Analog Channel Input
number. These points will be highlighted in the corresponding chapters.
For all information that is common to the 2 derivatives, the generic ST10F272 name is used.
The ST10F272 combines high CPU performance (up to 32 million instructions per second)
with high peripheral functionality and enhanced I/O-capabilities. It also provides on-chip
high-speed single voltage Flash memory, on-chip high-speed RAM, and clock generation
via PLL.
ST10F272 is processed in 0.18mm CMOS technology. The MCU core and the logic is
supplied with a 5V to 1.8V on-chip voltage regulator. The part is supplied with a single 5V
supply and I/Os work at 5V.
The device is upward compatible with the ST10F269 device, with the following set of
differences:
Flash control interface is now based on STMicroelectronics third generation of stand-alone
Flash memories (M29F400 series), with an embedded Program/Erase Controller. This
completely frees up the CPU during programming or erasing the Flash.
Only one supply pin (ex DC1 in ST10F269, renamed into V18) on the QFP144 package is
used for decoupling the internally generated 1.8V core logic supply. Do not connect this pin
to 5.0V external supply. Instead, this pin should be connected to a decoupling capacitor
(ceramic type, typical value 10nF, maximum value 100nF).
The AC and DC parameters are modified due to a difference in the maximum CPU
frequency.
A new VDD pin replaces DC2 of ST10F269.
EA pin assumes a new alternate functionality: it is also used to provide a dedicated power
supply (see VSTBY) to maintain biased a portion of the XRAM (16Kbytes) when the main
Power Supply of the device (VDD and consequently the internally generated V18) is turned
off for low power mode, allowing data retention. VSTBY voltage shall be in the range 4.5-5.5
Volt, and a dedicated embedded low power voltage regulator is in charge to provide the

Introduction
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
1.8V for the RAM, the low-voltage section of the 32kHz oscillator and the Real Time Clock
module when not disabled. It is allowed to exceed the upper limit up to 6V for a very short
period of time during the global life of the device, and exceed the lower limit down to 4V
when RTC and 32kHz on-chip oscillator are not used.
A second SSC mapped on the XBUS is added (SSC of ST10F269 becomes here SSC0,
while the new one is referred as XSSC or simply SSC1). Note that some restrictions and
functional differences due to the XBUS peculiarities are present between the classic SSC,
and the new XSSC.
A second ASC mapped on the XBUS is added (ASC0 of ST10F269 remains ASC0, while
the new one is referred as XASC or simply as ASC1). Note that some restrictions and
functional differences due to the XBUS peculiarities are present between the classic ASC,
and the new XASC.
A second PWM mapped on the XBUS is added (PWM of ST10F269 becomes here PWM0,
while the new one is referred as XPWM or simply as PWM1). Note that some restrictions
and functional differences due to the XBUS peculiarities are present between the classic
PWM, and the new XPWM.
An I2C interface on the XBUS is added (see X-I2C or simply I2C interface).
CLKOUT function can output either the CPU clock (like in ST10F269) or a software
programmable prescaled value of the CPU clock.
On-chip RAM memory has been increased (Flash size remained the same).
PLL multiplication factors have been adapted to new frequency range.
A/D Converter is not fully compatible versus ST10F269 (timing and programming model).
Formula for the convertion time is still valid, while the sampling phase programming model
is different.
Besides, additional 8 channels are available on P1L pins as alternate function: the accuracy
reachable with these extra channels is reduced with respect to the standard Port5 channels.
External Memory bus is affected by limitations on maximum speed and maximum
capacitance load: ST10F272 is not able to address an external memory at 64MHz with 0
wait states.
XPERCON register bit mapping modified according to new peripherals implementation (not
fully compatible with ST10F269).
Bondout chip for emulation (ST10R201) cannot achieve more than 50MHz at room
temperature (so no real time emulation possible at maximum speed).
Input section characteristics are different. The threshold programmability is extended to all
port pins (additional XPICON register); it is possible to select standard TTL (with up to
400mV of hysteresis) and standard CMOS (with up to 750mV of hysteresis).
Output transition is not programmable.
CAN module is enhanced: ST10F272 implements two C-CAN modules, so the
programming model is slightly different. Besides, the possibility to map in parallel the two
CAN modules is added (on P4.5/P4.6).
On-chip main oscillator input frequency range has been reshaped, reducing it from 1-25MHz
down to 4-8MHz. This is a low power oscillator amplifier, that allows a power consumption
reduction when Real Time Clock is running in Power Down mode, using as reference the
on-chip main oscillator clock. When this on-chip amplifier is used as reference for Real Time

Introduction
Clock module, the Power-down consumption is dominated by the consumption of the

oscillator amplifier itself.
A second on-chip oscillator amplifier circuit (32kHz) is implemented for low power modes: it
can be used to provide the reference to the Real Time Clock counter (either in Power Down
or Stand-by mode). Pin XTAL3 and XTAL4 replace a couple of VDD/VSS pins of ST10F269.
Possibility to re-program internal XBUS chip select window characteristics (XRAM2 window)
is added.

External access enable pin.

A low level applied to this pin during and after Reset forces the ST10F272 to start
the program from the external memory space. A high level forces ST10F272 to
start in the internal memory space. This pin is also used (when Stand-by mode is
entered, that is ST10F272 under reset and main VDD turned off) to bias the 32
kHz oscillator amplifier circuit and to provide a reference voltage for the lowpower embedded voltage regulator which generates the internal 1.8V supply for
the RTC module (when not disabled) and to retain data inside the Stand-by
portion of the XRAM (16Kbyte).
It can range from 4.5 to 5.5V (6V for a reduced amount of time during the device
life, 4.0V when RTC and 32 kHz on-chip oscillator amplifier are turned off). In
running mode, this pin can be tied low during reset without affecting 32 kHz
oscillator, RTC and XRAM activities, since the presence of a stable VDD
guarantees the proper biasing of all those modules.
Two 8-bit bidirectional I/O ports P0L and P0H, bit-wise programmable for input or
output driver to high impedance state. The input threshold of Port 0 is selectable
(TTL or CMOS).
In case of an external bus configuration, PORT0 serves as the address (A) and
as the address / data (AD) bus in multiplexed bus modes and as the data (D) bus
in demultiplexed bus modes.

I/O
Two 8-bit bidirectional I/O ports P1L and P1H, bit-wise programmable for input or
output driver to high impedance state. PORT1 is used as the 16-bit address bus
(A) in demultiplexed bus modes: if at least BUSCONx is configured such the
demultiplexed mode is selected, the pis of PORT1 are not available for general
purpose I/O function. The input threshold of Port 1 is selectable (TTL or CMOS).
Only for the ST10F272E
The pins of P1L also serve as the additional (up to 8) analog input channels for
the A/D converter, where P1L.x equals ANy (Analog input channel y,
where y = x + 16). This additional function have higher priority on demultiplexed
bus function.

external crystal, and not by a different clock source.
RSTIN
140
Reset Input with CMOS Schmitt-Trigger characteristics. A low level at this pin for
a specified duration while the oscillator is running resets the ST10F272. An
internal pull-up resistor permits power-on reset using only a capacitor connected
to VSS. In bidirectional reset mode (enabled by setting bit BDRSTEN in SYSCON
register), the RSTIN line is pulled low for the duration of the internal reset
sequence.
RSTOUT

Internal Reset Indication Output. This pin is driven to a low level during hardware,
software or watchdog timer reset. RSTOUT remains low until the EINIT (end of
initialization) instruction is executed.
NMI
142
Non-Maskable Interrupt Input. A high to low transition at this pin causes the CPU
to vector to the NMI trap routine. If bit PWDCFG = 0 in SYSCON register, when
the PWRDN (power down) instruction is executed, the NMI pin must be low in
order to force the ST10F272 to go into power down mode. If NMI is high and
PWDCFG =0, when PWRDN is executed, the part will continue to run in normal
mode.
If not used, pin NMI should be pulled high externally.

Memory organization
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Memory organization
The memory space of the ST10F272 is configured in a unified memory architecture. Code
memory, data memory, registers and I/O ports are organized within the same linear address
space of 16M Bytes. The entire memory space can be accessed Byte wise or Word wise.
Particular portions of the on-chip memory have additionally been made directly bit
addressable.
IFLASH: 256K Bytes of on-chip Flash memory. It is divided in 8 blocks (B0F0...B0F7) that
constitute the Bank 0. When Bootstrap mode is selected, the Test-Flash Block B0TF
(8Kbyte) appears at address 000000h: refer to Section 5: Internal Flash memory for more
details on memory mapping in boot mode. The summary of address range for IFLASH is the
following:

IRAM: 2K Bytes of on-chip internal RAM (dual-port) is provided as a storage for data,
system stack, general purpose register banks and code. A register bank is 16 Wordwide (R0
to R15) and / or Bytewide (RL0, RH0, , RL7, RH7) general purpose registers group.
XRAM: 8K/16K+2K Bytes of on-chip extension RAM (single port XRAM) is provided as a
storage for data, user stack and code.
The XRAM is divided into 2 areas, the first 2K Bytes named XRAM1 and the second 8K/16K
Bytes named XRAM2, connected to the internal XBUS and are accessed like an external
memory in 16-bit demultiplexed bus-mode without wait state or read/write delay (31.25ns
access at 64MHz CPU clock). Byte and Word accesses are allowed.
The XRAM1 address range is 00E000h - 00E7FFh if XPEN (bit 2 of SYSCON register),
and XRAM1EN (bit 2 of XPERCON register) are set. If XRAM1EN or XPEN is cleared, then
any access in the address range 00E000h - 00E7FFh will be directed to external memory
interface, using the BUSCONx register corresponding to address matching ADDRSELx
register.
The XRAM2 address range is the one selected programming XADRS3 register, if XPEN (bit
2 of SYSCON register), and XRAM2EN (bit 3 of XPERCON register) are set. If bit XPEN is
cleared, then any access in the address range programmed for XRAM2 will be directed to

external memory interface, using the BUSCONx register corresponding to address

matching ADDRSELx register.
After reset the XRAM2 is mapped from address 090000h.
XRAM2 represents also the Stand-by RAM, which can be maintained biased through EA /
VSTBY pin when main supply VDD is turned off.
As the XRAM appears like external memory, it cannot be used as system stack or as
register banks. The XRAM is not provided for single bit storage and therefore is not bit
addressable.
ST10F272B XRAM: 8K+2K Bytes of XRAM.
The XRAM1 (2K Bytes) address range is 00E000h - 00E7FFh if enabled.
The XRAM2 (8K Bytes) address range is after reset 090000h - 091FFFh and is mirrored
every 16KByte boundary.
ST10F272E XRAM: 16K+2K Bytes of XRAM
The XRAM1 (2K Bytes) address range is 00E000h - 00E7FFh if enabled.
The XRAM2 (16K Bytes) address range is after reset 090000h - 093FFFh and is mirrored
every 16KByte boundary.
SFR/ESFR: 1024 Bytes (2 x 512 Bytes) of address space is reserved for the special
function register areas. SFRs are Wordwide registers which are used to control and to
monitor the function of the different on-chip units.
CAN1: Address range 00EF00h - 00EFFFh is reserved for the CAN1 Module access. The
CAN1 is enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and by setting CAN1EN bit
0 of the XPERCON register. Accesses to the CAN Module use demultiplexed addresses
and a 16-bit data bus (only word accesses are possible). Two wait states give an access
time of 62.5ns at 64MHz CPU clock. No tri-state wait states are used.
CAN2: Address range 00EE00h - 00EEFFh is reserved for the CAN2 Module access. The
CAN2 is enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and by setting CAN2EN bit
1 of the new XPERCON register. Accesses to the CAN Module use demultiplexed
addresses and a 16-bit data bus (only word accesses are possible). Two wait states give an
access time of 62.5ns at 64MHz CPU clock. No tri-state wait states are used.
If one or the two CAN modules are used, Port 4 cannot be programmed to output all 8
segment address lines. Thus, only 4 segment address lines can be used, reducing the
external memory space to 5M Bytes (1M Byte per CS line).
RTC: Address range 00ED00h - 00EDFFh is reserved for the RTC Module access. The
RTC is enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and bit 4 of the XPERCON
register. Accesses to the RTC Module use demultiplexed addresses and a 16-bit data bus
(only word accesses are possible). Two waitstates give an access time of 62.5ns at 64MHz
CPU clock. No tristate waitstate is used.
PWM1: Address range 00EC00h - 00ECFFh is reserved for the PWM1 Module access.
The PWM1 is enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and bit 6 of the
XPERCON register. Accesses to the PWM1 Module use demultiplexed addresses and a 16bit data bus (only word accesses are possible). Two waitstates give an access time of
62.5ns at 64MHz CPU clock. No tristate waitstate is used. Only word access is allowed.

ASC1 is enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and bit 7 of the XPERCON
register. Accesses to the ASC1 Module use demultiplexed addresses and a 16-bit data bus
(only word accesses are possible). Two waitstates give an access time of 62.5 ns at 64MHz
SSC1: Address range 00E800h - 00E8FFh is reserved for the SSC1 Module access. The
SSC1 is enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and bit 8 of the XPERCON
register. Accesses to the SSC1 Module use demultiplexed addresses and a 16-bit data bus
(only word accesses are possible). Two waitstates give an access time of 62.5ns at 64MHz
I2C: Address range 00EA00h - 00EAFFh is reserved for the I2C Module access. The I2C is
enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON register and bit 9 of the XPERCON register.
Accesses to the I2C Module use demultiplexed addresses and a 16-bit data bus (only word
accesses are possible). Two waitstates give an access time of 62.5ns at 64MHz CPU clock.
No tristate waitstate is used.
X-Miscellaneous: Address range 00EB00h - 00EBFFh is reserved for the access to a set
of XBUS additional features. They are enabled by setting XPEN bit 2 of the SYSCON
register and bit 10 of the XPERCON register. Accesses to this additional features use
demultiplexed addresses and a 16-bit data bus (only word accesses are possible). Two
waitstates give an access time of 62.5ns at 64MHz CPU clock. No tristate waitstate is used.
The following set of features are provided:
CLKOUT programmable divider
XBUS interrupt management registers
ADC multiplexing on P1L register (only for ST10F272E)
Port1L digital disable register for extra ADC channels
CAN2 multiplexing on P4.5/P4.6
CAN1-2 main clock prescaler
Main Voltage Regulator disable for power-down mode
TTL / CMOS threshold selection for Port0, Port1, and Port5.
In order to meet the needs of designs where more memory is required than is provided on
chip, up to 16M Bytes of external memory can be connected to the microcontroller.
Visibility of XBUS peripherals

In order to keep the ST10F272 compatible with the ST10F168 / ST10F269, the XBUS
peripherals can be selected to be visible on the external address / data bus. Different bits for
X-peripheral enabling in XPERCON register must be set. If these bits are cleared before the
global enabling with XPEN bit in SYSCON register, the corresponding address space, port
pins and interrupts are not occupied by the peripherals, thus the peripheral is not visible and
not available. Refer to Chapter 23: Register set on page 116.

Modules structure
The IFLASH module is composed by a bank (Bank 0) of 256 Kbyte of Program Memory
divided in 8 sectors (B0F0...B0F7). Bank 0 contains also a reserved sector named TestFlash. The Addresses from 0x08 0000 to 0x08 FFFF are reserved for the Control Register
Interface and other internal service memory space used by the Flash Program/Erase
controller.
The following tables show the memory mapping of the Flash when it is accessed in read
mode (Table 4: Flash modules sectorization (Read operations)), and when accessed in
write or erase mode (Table 5: Flash modules sectorization (Write operations or with
ROMS1=1 or BootStrap mode)): note that with this second mapping, the first four banks
are remapped into code segment 1 (same as obtained setting bit ROMS1 in SYSCON
register).

When Bootstrap mode is entered:
Test-Flash is seen and available for code fetches (address 000000h)
User I-Flash is only available for read and write accesses
Write accesses must be made with addresses starting in segment 1 from 01'0000h,
whatever ROMS1 bit in SYSCON value
Read accesses are made in segment 0 or in segment 1 depending of ROMS1 value.
In Bootstrap mode, by default ROMS1 = 0, so the first 32KBytes of IFlash are mapped in
segment 0.
Example:
In default configuration, to program address 0, user must put the value 01'0000h in the
FARL and FARH registers, but to verify the content of the address 0 a read to 00'0000h
must be performed.

Low power mode

The Flash module is automatically switched off executing PWRDN instruction. The
consumption is drastically reduced, but exiting this state can require a long time (tPD).
Recovery time from Power Down mode for the Flash modules is anyway shorter than the
main oscillator start-up time. To avoid any problem in restarting to fetch code from the Flash,
it is important to size properly the external circuit on RPD pin.
Note:
30/188
PWRDN instruction must not be executed while a Flash program/erase operation is in

progress.

5.3
Write operation
The Flash module have one single register interface mapped in the memory space of the
IBUS (0x08 0000 to 0x08 0015). All the operations are enabled through four 16-bit control
registers: Flash Control Register 1-0 High/Low (FCR1H/L-FCR0H/L). Eight other 16-bit
registers are used to store Flash Address and Data for Program operations (FARH/L and
FDR1H/L-FDR0H/L) and Write Operation Error flags (FERH/L). All registers are accessible
with 8 and 16-bit instructions (since operates in 16-bit mode when in read/ write).
Before accessing the IFlash module (and consequently also the Flash register to be used
for program/erasing operations), bit ROMEN in SYSCON register shall be set.
During a Flash write operation any attempt to read the flash itself, that is under modification,
will output invalid data (software trap 009Bh). This means that the Flash is not fetchable
when a programming operation is active: the write operation commands must be executed
from another memory (internal RAM or external memory), as in ST10F269 device. In fact,
due to IBUS characteristics, it is not possible to perform a write operation on IFLASH, when
fetching code from IFLASH.
Direct addressing is not allowed for write accesses to IFLASH Control Registers.
During a Write operation, when bit LOCK of FCR0 is set, it is forbidden to write into the
Flash Control Registers.

If during a write operation the internal low voltage supply drops below a certain internal
voltage threshold, any write operation running is suddenly interrupted and the module is
reset to Read mode. At following Power-on, the interrupted Flash write operation must be
repeated.

Registers description
5.4.1
Flash control register 0 low

The Flash Control Register 0 Low (FCR0L) together with the Flash Control Register 0 High
(FCR0H) is used to enable and to monitor all the write operations on the IFLASH. The user
has no access in write mode to the Test-Flash (B0TF). Besides, Test-Flash block is seen by
the user in Bootstrap Mode only.

Function
BSY0
Bank 0 Busy (IFLASH)

This bit indicates that a write operation is running on Bank 0 (IFLASH). It is
automatically set when bit WMS is set. Setting Protection operation sets bit BSY0
(since protection registers are in this Block). When this bit is set, every read
access to Bank 0 will output invalid data (software trap 009Bh), while every write
access to the Bank will be ignored. At the end of the write operation or during a
Program or Erase Suspend this bit is automatically reset and the Bank returns to
read mode. After a Program or Erase Resume this bit is automatically set again.
LOCK
Flash Registers Access Locked

When this bit is set, it means that the access to the Flash Control Registers
FCR0H/-FCR1H/L, FDR0H/L-FDR1H/L, FARH/L and FER is locked by the FPEC:
any read access to the registers will output invalid data (software trap 009Bh) and
any write access will be ineffective. LOCK bit is automatically set when the Flash
bit WMS is set.
This is the only bit the user can always access to detect the status of the Flash:
once it is found low, the rest of FCR0L and all the other Flash registers are
accessible by the user as well.
Note that FER content can be read when LOCK is low, but its content is updated
only when also BSY0 bit is reset.

Function
SPR
Set Protection
This bit must be set to select the Set Protection operation. The Set Protection
operation allows to program 0s in place of 1s in the Flash Non Volatile Protection
Registers. The Flash Address in which to program must be written in the FARH/L
registers, while the Flash Data to be programmed must be written in the FDR0H/L
before starting the execution by setting bit WMS. A sequence error is flagged by bit
SEQER of FER if the address written in FARH/L is not in the range 0x0E8FB00x08DFBF. SPR bit is automatically reset at the end of the Set Protection
operation.
SER
Sector Erase
This bit must be set to select the Sector Erase operation in the Flash modules. The
Sector Erase operation allows to erase all the Flash locations to value 0xFF. From
1 to all the sectors of the same Bank (excluded Test-Flash for Bank B0) can be
selected to be erased through bits BxFy of FCR1H/L registers before starting the
execution by setting bit WMS. It is not necessary to pre-program the sectors to
0x00, because this is done automatically. SER bit is automatically reset at the end
of the Sector Erase operation.
DWPG
Double Word Program

This bit must be set to select the Double Word (64 bits) Program operation in the
Flash module. The Double Word Program operation allows to program 0s in place
of 1s. The Flash Address in which to program (aligned with even words) must be
written in the FARH/L registers, while the 2 Flash Data to be programmed must be
written in the FDR0H/L registers (even word) and FDR1H/L registers (odd word)
before starting the execution by setting bit WMS. DWPG bit is automatically reset
at the end of the Double Word Program operation.
WPG

Function
SUSP
Suspend
This bit must be set to suspend the current Program (Word or Double Word) or
Sector Erase operation in order to read data in one of the Sectors of the Bank
under modification or to program data in another Bank. The Suspend operation
resets the Flash Bank to normal read mode (automatically resetting bit BSY0).
When in Program Suspend, the Flash module accepts only the following
operations: Read and Program Resume. When in Erase Suspend the module
accepts only the following operations: Read, Erase Resume and Program (Word or
Double Word; Program operations cannot be suspended during Erase Suspend).
To resume a suspended operation, the WMS bit must be set again, together with
the selection bit corresponding to the operation to resume (WPG, DWPG, SER).
Note: It is forbidden to start a new Write operation with bit SUSP already set.
WMS
Write Mode Start

This bit must be set to start every write operation in the Flash module. At the end of
the write operation or during a Suspend, this bit is automatically reset. To resume a
suspended operation, this bit must be set again. It is forbidden to set this bit if bit
ERR of FER is high (the operation is not accepted). It is also forbidden to start a
new write (program or erase) operation (by setting WMS high) when bit SUSP of
FCR0 is high. Resetting this bit by software has no effect.

The Flash Control Register 1 Low (FCR1L), together with Flash Control Register 1 High
(FCR1H), is used to select the Sectors to Erase, or during any write operation to monitor the
status of each Sector and Bank.

Protection strategy
The protection bits are stored in Non Volatile Flash cells inside IFLASH module, that are
read once at reset and stored in 4 Volatile registers. Before they are read from the Non
Volatile cells, all the available protections are forced active during reset.
The protections can be programmed using the Set Protection operation (see Flash Control
Registers paragraph), that can be executed from all the internal or external memories
except from the Flash itself.
Two kind of protections are available: write protections to avoid unwanted writings and
access protections to avoid piracy. In next paragraphs all different level of protections are
shown, and architecture limitations are highlighted as well.
5.5.1
Protection registers
The 4 Non Volatile Protection Registers are one time programmable for the user.
One register (FNVWPIR) is used to store the Write Protection fuses respectively for each
sector IFLASH module. The other three Registers (FNVAPR0 and FNVAPR1L/H) are used
to store the Access Protection fuses.

Function
Temporary Access Unprotection bit
If this bit is set to 1, the Access Protection is temporary disabled.
This bit can be written only executing from IFlash.This fact guarantees that only a
code executed in IFlash, can unprotect the IFlash, when it is Access Protected.
Access protection
The I-Flash module has one level of access protection (access to data both in Reading and
Writing): if bit ACCP of FNVAPR0 is programmed at 0 and bit TAUB in XFVTAUR0 is set at
0, the I-Flash module becomes access protected: data in the I-Flash module can be read
only if the current execution is from the I-Flash module itself.
To enable Access Protection, the following sequence of operations is recommended:
execution from external memory or internal Rams
program TAUB bit at 1 in XFVTAUR0 register
program ACCP bit in FNVAPR0 to 0 using Set Protection operation
program TAUB bit at 0 in XFVTAUR0 register
Access Protection is active when both ACCP bit and TAUB bit are set to 0.
Protection can be permanently disabled by programming bit PDS0 of FNVAPR1H, in order

to analyze rejects. Protection can be permanently enabled again by programming bit PEN0
of FNVAPR1L. The action to disable and enable again Access Protections in a permanent
way can be executed a maximum of 16 times. To execute the above described operations,
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
41/188
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
the Flash has to be temporary unprotected (See Section 5.5.9: Temporary unprotection).
Trying to write into the access protected Flash from internal RAM or external memories is
unsuccessful. Trying to read into the access protected Flash from internal RAM or external
memories will output a dummy data (software trap 0x009Bh).
When the Flash module is protected in access, also the data access through PEC of a
peripheral is forbidden. To read/write data in PEC mode from/to a protected Bank, first it is
necessary to temporary unprotect the Flash module.
In Table 24 there is a summary of all levels of possible Access protection is reported: in
particular, supposing to enable all possible access protections, when fetching from a
memory as listed in the first column, what is possible and what is not possible to do (see
column headers) is shown in the table.

When the Access Protection is enabled, Flash registers can not be written, so no
program/erase operation can be run on I-Flash. To enable the access to registers again, the
Temporary Access Unprotection procedure has to be followed (see Section 5.5.9).
5.5.8
Write protection
The Flash modules have one level of Write Protections: each Sector of each Bank of each
Flash Module can be Software Write Protected by programming at 0 the related bit W0Px in
FNVWPIRL register.
5.5.9
Temporary unprotection
Bits W0Px of FNVWPIRL can be temporary unprotected by executing the Set Protection
operation and by writing 1 into these bits.
To restore the write protection bits it is necessary to reset the microcontroller or to execute a
Set Protection operation and write 0 into the desired bits.
In reality, when a temporary write unprotection operation is executed, the corresponding
volatile register is written to 1, while the non volatile registers bits previously written to 0 (for
a protection set operation), will continue to maintain the 0. For this reason, the User
software must be in charge to track the current write protection status (for instance using a
specific RAM area), it is not possible to deduce it by reading the non volatile register content
(a temporary unprotection cannot be detected).
To temporary unprotect the Flash when the Access Protection is active, it is necessary to set
at 1 the bit TAUB in XFVTAUR0. This bit can be write at 1, only executing from Flash: in this
way only an instruction executed from Flash can unprotect the Flash itself.

Write operation examples

In the following, examples for each kind of Flash write operation are presented.
Note:
The write operation commands must be executed from another memory (internal RAM or
external memory), as in ST10F269 device. In fact, due to IBus characteristics, it is not
possible to perform write operation in Flash while fetching code from Flash.
Moreover, direct addressing is not allowed for write accesses to IFlash control registers.
This means that both address and data for a writing operation must be loaded in one of
ST10 GPR register (R0...R15).
Write operation on IBus registers is 16 bit wide.

Suspend and resume

Word Program, Double Word Program, and Sector Erase operations can be suspended in
the following way:
FCR0H
|= 0x4000;
/*Set SUSP in FCR0H*/
Then the operation can be resumed in the following way:

FCR0H
FCR0H
|= 0x0800;
|= 0x8000;

/*Operation resume*/
Before resuming a suspended Erase, FCR1H/FCR1L must be read to check if the Erase is
already completed (FCR1H = FCR1L = 0x0000 if Erase is complete). Original setup of
Select Operation bits in FCR0H/L must be restored before the operation resume, otherwise
the operation is aborted and bit RESER of FER is set.
Erase suspend, program and resume

A Sector Erase operation can be suspended in order to program (Word or Double Word)
another Sector.
Example: Sector Erase of sector B0F1 of IFLASH Module.

{tmp1 = FCR0L;
tmp2 = FCR0H;
} while ((tmp1 && 0x0010) || (tmp2 && 0x8000));
Example: Word Program of data 0x5555AAAA at address 0x045554 in IFLASH module.

FCR0H |= 0x8000;
/*Operation start*/
Once the Program operation is finished, the Erase operation can be resumed in the
following way:
FCR0H|= 0x0800;/*Set SER in FCR0H*/
FCR0H|= 0x8000;/*Operation resume*/
Notice that during the Program Operation in Erase suspend, bits SER and SUSP are low. A
Word or Double Word Program during Erase Suspend cannot be suspended.
In summary:

ST10F272B/ST10F272E
A Sector Erase can be suspended by setting SUSP bit.
To perform a Word Program operation during Erase Suspend, firstly bits SUSP and
SER must be reset, then bit WPG and WMS can be set.
To resume the Sector Erase operation bit SER must be set again.
In any case it is forbidden to start any write operation with SUSP bit already set.

Write operation summary

In general, each write operation is started through a sequence of 3 steps:
1.
The first instruction is used to select the desired operation by setting its corresponding
selection bit in the Flash Control Register 0.
2.
The second step is the definition of the Address and Data for programming or the
Sectors or Banks to erase.
3.
The last instruction is used to start the write operation, by setting the start bit WMS in
the FCR0.
Once selected, but not yet started, one operation can be canceled by resetting the operation
selection bit.
A summary of the available Flash Module Write Operations are shown in the following

Bootstrap loader
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Bootstrap loader
ST10F272 implements Boot capabilities in order to:
6.1
Support bootstrap via UART or bootstrap via CAN for the standard bootstrap.
Support a Selective Bootstrap Loader, to manage the bootstrap sequence in a different

way.
Selection among user-code, standard or selective bootstrap

The boot modes are triggered with a special combination set on Port0L[5...4]. Those
signals, as other configuration signals, are latched on the rising edge of RSTIN pin.
Decoding of reset configuration (P0L.5 = 1, P0L.4 = 1) will select the normal mode
(also called User Mode) and select the user Flash to be mapped from address
000000h.
Decoding of reset configuration (P0L.5 = 1, P0L.4 = 0) will select ST10 standard

bootstrap mode (Test-Flash is active and overlaps user Flash for code fetches from
address 00'0000h; user Flash is active and available for read accesses).
Decoding of reset configuration (P0L.5 = 0, P0L.4 = 1) will activate new verifications to

select which bootstrap software to execute:
if the User mode signature in the User Flash is programmed correctly, then a
software reset sequence is selected and the User code is executed;
if the User mode signature is not programmed correctly in the user Flash, then the
User key location is read again. Its value will determine which communication
channel will be enabled for bootstraping
Table 26.

Selective Boot Mode: User Flash mapped from 000000h, code fetches
redirected to Test-Flash at 000000h (different sequence execution in respect of
Standard Bootstrap Loader)
Reserved
Standard bootstrap loader

After entering the standard BSL mode and the respective initialization, the ST10F272 scans
the RxD0 line and the CAN1_RxD line to receive either a valid dominant bit from CAN
interface, or a start condition from UART line.
Start condition on UART RxD: ST10F272 starts standard bootstrap loader. This bootstrap
loader is identical to other ST10 devices (example: ST10F269, ST10F168).
Valid dominant bit on CAN1 RxD: ST10F272 start bootstrapping via CAN1.

Alternate and selective boot mode (ABM and SBM)
6.3.1
Activation of the ABM and SBM

Alternate boot is activated with the combination 01 on Port0L[5..4] at the rising edge of
RSTIN.
6.3.2
User mode signature integrity check

The behavior of the Selective Boot Mode is based on the computing of a signature between
the content of 2 memory locations and a comparison with a reference signature. This
requires that users who use Selective Boot have reserved and programmed the Flash
memory locations.
6.3.3
Selective boot mode

When the user signature is not correct, instead of executing the Standard Bootstrap Loader
(triggered by P0L.4 low at reset), additional check is made.
Depending on the value at the User key location, following behavior will occur:
A jump is performed to the Standard Bootstrap Loader
Only UART is enabled for bootstraping
Only CAN1 is enabled for bootstraping
The device enters an infinite loop.

Central processing unit (CPU)
ST10F272B/ST10F272E

The CPU includes a 4-stage instruction pipeline, a 16-bit arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) and
dedicated SFRs. Additional hardware has been added for a separate multiply and divide
unit, a bit-mask generator and a barrel shifter.
Most of the ST10F272s instructions can be executed in one instruction cycle which requires
31.25ns at 64 MHz CPU clock. For example, shift and rotate instructions are processed in
one instruction cycle independent of the number of bits to be shifted.
Multiple-cycle instructions have been optimized: branches are carried out in 2 cycles, 16 x
16-bit multiplication in 5 cycles and a 32/16-bit division in 10 cycles.
The jump cache reduces the execution time of repeatedly performed jumps in a loop, from
2 cycles to 1 cycle.
The CPU uses a bank of 16 word registers to run the current context. This bank of General
Purpose Registers (GPR) is physically stored within the on-chip Internal RAM (IRAM) area.
A Context Pointer (CP) register determines the base address of the active register bank to
be accessed by the CPU.
The number of register banks is only restricted by the available Internal RAM space. For
easy parameter passing, a register bank may overlap others.
A system stack of up to 2048 bytes is provided as a storage for temporary data. The system
stack is allocated in the on-chip RAM area, and it is accessed by the CPU via the stack
pointer (SP) register.
Two separate SFRs, STKOV and STKUN, are implicitly compared against the stack pointer
value upon each stack access for the detection of a stack overflow or underflow.

Multiplier-accumulator unit (MAC)

The MAC co-processor is a specialized co-processor added to the ST10 CPU Core in order
to improve the performances of the ST10 Family in signal processing algorithms.
The standard ST10 CPU has been modified to include new addressing capabilities which
enable the CPU to supply the new co-processor with up to 2 operands per instruction cycle.
This new co-processor (so-called MAC) contains a fast multiply-accumulate unit and a
repeat unit.
The co-processor instructions extend the ST10 CPU instruction set with multiply, multiplyaccumulate, 32-bit signed arithmetic operations.

External bus controller
External bus controller

All of the external memory accesses are performed by the on-chip external bus controller.
The EBC can be programmed to single chip mode when no external memory is required, or
to one of four different external memory access modes:
16- / 18- / 20- / 24-bit addresses and 16-bit data, demultiplexed
16- / 18- / 20- / 24-bit addresses and 16-bit data, multiplexed
16- / 18- / 20- / 24-bit addresses and 8-bit data, multiplexed
16- / 18- / 20- / 24-bit addresses and 8-bit data, demultiplexed
In demultiplexed bus modes addresses are output on PORT1 and data is input / output on
PORT0 or P0L, respectively. In the multiplexed bus modes both addresses and data use
PORT0 for input / output.
Timing characteristics of the external bus interface (memory cycle time, memory tri-state
time, length of ALE and read / write delay) are programmable giving the choice of a wide
range of memories and external peripherals.
Up to four independent address windows may be defined (using register pairs ADDRSELx /
BUSCONx) to access different resources and bus characteristics.
These address windows are arranged hierarchically where BUSCON4 overrides BUSCON3
and BUSCON2 overrides BUSCON1.
All accesses to locations not covered by these four address windows are controlled by
BUSCON0. Up to five external CS signals (four windows plus default) can be generated in
order to save external glue logic. Access to very slow memories is supported by a Ready
function.
A HOLD / HLDA protocol is available for bus arbitration which shares external resources
with other bus masters.
The bus arbitration is enabled by setting bit HLDEN in register PSW. After setting HLDEN
once, pins P6.7...P6.5 (BREQ, HLDA, HOLD) are automatically controlled by the EBC. In
master mode (default after reset) the HLDA pin is an output. By setting bit DP6.7 to1 the
slave mode is selected where pin HLDA is switched to input. This directly connects the
slave controller to another master controller without glue logic.
For applications which require less external memory space, the address space can be
restricted to 1 Mbyte, 256 Kbytes or to 64 Kbytes. Port 4 outputs all eight address lines if an
address space of 16M Bytes is used, otherwise four, two or no address lines.
Chip select timing can be made programmable. By default (after reset), the CSx lines
change half a CPU clock cycle after the rising edge of ALE. With the CSCFG bit set in the
SYSCON register the CSx lines change with the rising edge of ALE.
The active level of the READY pin can be set by bit RDYPOL in the BUSCONx registers.
When the READY function is enabled for a specific address window, each bus cycle within
the window must be terminated with the active level defined by bit RDYPOL in the
associated BUSCON register.

Interrupt system
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Interrupt system
The interrupt response time for internal program execution is from 78ns to 187.5ns at
64 MHz CPU clock.
The ST10F272 architecture supports several mechanisms for fast and flexible response to
service requests that can be generated from various sources (internal or external) to the
microcontroller. Any of these interrupt requests can be serviced by the Interrupt Controller or
by the Peripheral Event Controller (PEC).
In contrast to a standard interrupt service where the current program execution is
suspended and a branch to the interrupt vector table is performed, just one cycle is stolen
from the current CPU activity to perform a PEC service. A PEC service implies a single Byte
or Word data transfer between any two memory locations with an additional increment of
either the PEC source or destination pointer. An individual PEC transfer counter is implicitly
decremented for each PEC service except when performing in the continuous transfer
mode. When this counter reaches zero, a standard interrupt is performed to the
corresponding source related vector location. PEC services are very well suited to perform
the transmission or the reception of blocks of data. The ST10F272 has 8 PEC channels,
each of them offers such fast interrupt-driven data transfer capabilities.
An interrupt control register which contains an interrupt request flag, an interrupt enable flag
and an interrupt priority bit-field is dedicated to each existing interrupt source. Thanks to its
related register, each source can be programmed to one of sixteen interrupt priority levels.
Once starting to be processed by the CPU, an interrupt service can only be interrupted by a
higher prioritized service request. For the standard interrupt processing, each of the
possible interrupt sources has a dedicated vector location.
Software interrupts are supported by means of the TRAP instruction in combination with an
individual trap (interrupt) number.
Fast external interrupt inputs are provided to service external interrupts with high precision
requirements. These fast interrupt inputs feature programmable edge detection (rising edge,
falling edge or both edges).
Fast external interrupts may also have interrupt sources selected from other peripherals; for
example the CANx controller receive signals (CANx_RxD) and I2C serial clock signal can be
used to interrupt the system.
Table 29 shows all the available ST10F272 interrupt sources and the corresponding
hardware-related interrupt flags, vectors, vector locations and trap (interrupt) numbers:

Hardware traps are exceptions or error conditions that arise during run-time. They cause
immediate non-maskable system reaction similar to a standard interrupt service (branching
to a dedicated vector table location).
The occurrence of a hardware trap is additionally signified by an individual bit in the trap flag
register (TFR). Except when another higher prioritized trap service is in progress, a
hardware trap will interrupt any other program execution. Hardware trap services cannot not
be interrupted by standard interrupt or by PEC interrupts.
9.1
X-Peripheral interrupt
The limited number of X-Bus interrupt lines of the present ST10 architecture, imposes some
constraints on the implementation of the new functionality. In particular, the additional XPeripherals SSC1, ASC1, I2C, PWM1 and RTC need some resources to implement
interrupt and PEC transfer capabilities. For this reason, a multiplexed structure for the
interrupt management is proposed. In the next Figure 8, the principle is explained through a
simple diagram, which shows the basic structure replicated for each of the four X-interrupt
available vectors (XP0INT, XP1INT, XP2INT and XP3INT).
It is based on a set of 16-bit registers XIRxSEL (x=0,1,2,3), divided in two portions each:
58/188
Byte High
XIRxSEL[15:8]
Interrupt Enable bits
Byte Low
XIRxSEL[7:0]
Interrupt Flag bits
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Interrupt system
When different sources submit an interrupt request, the enable bits (Byte High of XIRxSEL
register) define a mask which controls which sources will be associated with the unique
available vector. If more than one source is enabled to issue the request, the service routine
will have to take care to identify the real event to be serviced. This can easily be done by
checking the flag bits (Byte Low of XIRxSEL register). Note that the flag bits can also
provide information about events which are not currently serviced by the interrupt controller
(since masked through the enable bits), allowing an effective software management also in
absence of the possibility to serve the related interrupt request: a periodic polling of the flag
bits may be implemented inside the user application.

Capture / compare (CAPCOM) units

The ST10F272 has two 16-channel CAPCOM units which support generation and control of
timing sequences on up to 32 channels with a maximum resolution of 125ns at 64 MHz CPU
clock.
The CAPCOM units are typically used to handle high speed I/O tasks such as pulse and
waveform generation, pulse width modulation (PMW), Digital to Analog (D/A) conversion,
software timing, or time recording relative to external events.
Four 16-bit timers (T0/T1, T7/T8) with reload registers provide two independent time bases
for the capture/compare register array.
The input clock for the timers is programmable to several prescaled values of the internal
system clock, or may be derived from an overflow/underflow of timer T6 in module GPT2.
This provides a wide range of variation for the timer period and resolution and allows
precise adjustments to application specific requirements. In addition, external count inputs
for CAPCOM timers T0 and T7 allow event scheduling for the capture/compare registers
relative to external events.
Each of the two capture/compare register arrays contain 16 dual purpose capture/compare
registers, each of which may be individually allocated to either CAPCOM timer T0 or T1 (T7
or T8, respectively), and programmed for capture or compare functions. Each of the 32
registers has one associated port pin which serves as an input pin for triggering the capture
function, or as an output pin to indicate the occurrence of a compare event.
When a capture/compare register has been selected for capture mode, the current contents
of the allocated timer will be latched (captured) into the capture/compare register in
response to an external event at the port pin which is associated with this register. In
addition, a specific interrupt request for this capture/compare register is generated.
Either a positive, a negative, or both a positive and a negative external signal transition at
the pin can be selected as the triggering event. The contents of all registers which have
been selected for one of the five compare modes are continuously compared with the
contents of the allocated timers.
When a match occurs between the timer value and the value in a capture / compare
register, specific actions will be taken based on the selected compare mode.
The input frequencies fTx, for the timer input selector Tx, are determined as a function of the
CPU clocks. The timer input frequencies, resolution and periods which result from the
selected pre-scaler option in TxI when using a 40 MHz and 64 MHz CPU clock are listed in
the Table 33 and Table 34 respectively.
The numbers for the timer periods are based on a reload value of 0000h. Note that some
numbers may be rounded to 3 significant figures.

General purpose timer unit

The GPT unit is a flexible multifunctional timer/counter structure which is used for time
related tasks such as event timing and counting, pulse width and duty cycle measurements,
pulse generation, or pulse multiplication. The GPT unit contains five 16-bit timers organized
into two separate modules GPT1 and GPT2. Each timer in each module may operate
independently in several different modes, or may be concatenated with another timer of the
same module.
11.1
GPT1
Each of the three timers T2, T3, T4 of the GPT1 module can be configured individually for
one of four basic modes of operation: timer, gated timer, counter mode and incremental
interface mode.
In timer mode, the input clock for a timer is derived from the CPU clock, divided by a
programmable prescaler.
In counter mode, the timer is clocked in reference to external events.
Pulse width or duty cycle measurement is supported in gated timer mode where the
operation of a timer is controlled by the gate level on an external input pin. For these
purposes, each timer has one associated port pin (TxIN) which serves as gate or clock
input.
Table 35 and Table 36 list the timer input frequencies, resolution and periods for each prescaler option at 40MHz and 64MHz CPU clock respectively.
In Incremental Interface Mode, the GPT1 timers (T2, T3, T4) can be directly connected to
the incremental position sensor signals A and B by their respective inputs TxIN and TxEUD.
Direction and count signals are internally derived from these two input signals so that the
contents of the respective timer Tx corresponds to the sensor position. The third position
sensor signal TOP0 can be connected to an interrupt input.
Timer T3 has output toggle latches (TxOTL) which changes state on each timer over flow /
underflow. The state of this latch may be output on port pins (TxOUT) for time out monitoring
of external hardware components, or may be used internally to clock timers T2 and T4 for
high resolution of long duration measurements.
In addition to their basic operating modes, timers T2 and T4 may be configured as reload or
capture registers for timer T3.

GPT2
The GPT2 module provides precise event control and time measurement. It includes two
timers (T5, T6) and a capture/reload register (CAPREL). Both timers can be clocked with an
input clock which is derived from the CPU clock via a programmable prescaler or with
external signals. The count direction (up/down) for each timer is programmable by software
or may additionally be altered dynamically by an external signal on a port pin (TxEUD).
Concatenation of the timers is supported via the output toggle latch (T6OTL) of timer T6
which changes its state on each timer overflow/underflow.
The state of this latch may be used to clock timer T5, or it may be output on a port pin
(T6OUT). The overflow / underflow of timer T6 can additionally be used to clock the
CAPCOM timers T0 or T1, and to cause a reload from the CAPREL register. The CAPREL
register may capture the contents of timer T5 based on an external signal transition on the
corresponding port pin (CAPIN), and timer T5 may optionally be cleared after the capture
procedure. This allows absolute time differences to be measured or pulse multiplication to
be performed without software overhead.
The capture trigger (timer T5 to CAPREL) may also be generated upon transitions of GPT1
timer T3 inputs T3IN and/or T3EUD. This is advantageous when T3 operates in Incremental
Interface Mode.
Table 37 and Table 38 list the timer input frequencies, resolution and periods for each prescaler option at 40MHz and 64MHz CPU clock respectively.

PWM modules
PWM modules
Two pulse width modulation modules are available on ST10F272: standard PWM0 and
XBUS PWM1. They can generate up to four PWM output signals each, using edge-aligned
or centre-aligned PWM. In addition, the PWM modules can generate PWM burst signals
and single shot outputs. The Table 39 and Table 40 show the PWM frequencies for different
resolutions. The level of the output signals is selectable and the PWM modules can
generate interrupt requests.

Parallel ports
13.1
Introduction
Parallel ports
The ST10F272 MCU provides up to 111 I/O lines with programmable features. These
capabilities bring very flexible adaptation of this MCU to wide range of applications.
ST10F272 has nine groups of I/O lines gathered as follows:
Port 0 is a two time 8-bit port named P0L (Low as less significant byte) and P0H (high
as most significant byte)
Port 1 is a two time 8-bit port named P1L and P1H
Port 2 is a 16-bit port
Port 3 is a 15-bit port (P3.14 line is not implemented)
Port 4 is a 8-bit port
Port 5 is a 16-bit port input only
Port 6, Port 7 and Port 8 are 8-bit ports
These ports may be used as general purpose bidirectional input or output, software
controlled with dedicated registers.
For example, the output drivers of six of the ports (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8) can be configured (bitwise) for push-pull or open drain operation using ODPx registers.
The input threshold levels are programmable (TTL/CMOS) for all the ports. The logic level of
a pin is clocked into the input latch once per state time, regardless whether the port is
configured for input or output. The threshold is selected with PICON and XPICON registers
control bits.
A write operation to a port pin configured as an input causes the value to be written into the
port output latch, while a read operation returns the latched state of the pin itself. A readmodify-write operation reads the value of the pin, modifies it, and writes it back to the output
latch.
Writing to a pin configured as an output (DPx.y=1) causes the output latch and the pin to
have the written value, since the output buffer is enabled. Reading this pin returns the value
of the output latch. A read-modify-write operation reads the value of the output latch,
modifies it, and writes it back to the output latch, thus also modifying the level at the pin.
I/O lines support an alternate function which is detailed in the following description of each
port.
13.2
I/Os special features
13.2.1
Open drain mode

Some of the I/O ports of ST10F272 support the open drain capability. This programmable
feature may be used with an external pull-up resistor, in order to get an AND wired logical
function.
This feature is implemented for ports P2, P3, P4, P6, P7 and P8 (see respective sections),
and is controlled through the respective Open Drain Control Registers ODPx.

13.2.2
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Input threshold control

The standard inputs of the ST10F272 determine the status of input signals according to TTL
levels. In order to accept and recognize noisy signals, CMOS input thresholds can be
selected instead of the standard TTL thresholds for all the pins. These CMOS thresholds
are defined above the TTL thresholds and feature a higher hysteresis to prevent the inputs
from toggling while the respective input signal level is near the thresholds.
The Port Input Control registers PICON and XPICON are used to select these thresholds for
each Byte of the indicated ports, this means the 8-bit ports P0L, P0H, P1L, P1H, P4, P7 and
P8 are controlled by one bit each while ports P2, P3 and P5 are controlled by two bits each.
All options for individual direction and output mode control are available for each pin,
independent of the selected input threshold.
13.3
Alternate port functions

Each port line has one associated programmable alternate input or output function.
PORT0 and PORT1 may be used as address and data lines when accessing external
memory. Besides, PORT1 provides also:
Input capture lines
8 additional analog input channels to the A/D converter
Port 2, Port 7 and Port 8 are associated with the capture inputs or compare outputs of
the CAPCOM units and/or with the outputs of the PWM0 module, of the PWM1 module
and of the ASC1.
Port 2 is also used for fast external interrupt inputs and for timer 7 input.
Port 3 includes the alternate functions of timers, serial interfaces, the optional bus
control signal BHE and the system clock output (CLKOUT).
Port 4 outputs the additional segment address bit A23...A16 in systems where more
than 64 Kbytes of memory are to be access directly. In addition, CAN1, CAN2 and I2C
lines are provided.
Port 5 is used as analog input channels of the A/D converter or as timer control signals.
Port 6 provides optional bus arbitration signals (BREQ, HLDA, HOLD) and chip select
signals and the SSC1 lines.
If the alternate output function of a pin is to be used, the direction of this pin must be
programmed for output (DPx.y=1), except for some signals that are used directly after reset
and are configured automatically. Otherwise the pin remains in the high-impedance state
and is not effected by the alternate output function. The respective port latch should hold a
1, because its output is ANDed with the alternate output data (except for PWM output
signals).
If the alternate input function of a pin is used, the direction of the pin must be programmed
for input (DPx.y=0) if an external device is driving the pin. The input direction is the default
after reset. If no external device is connected to the pin, however, one can also set the
direction for this pin to output. In this case, the pin reflects the state of the port output latch.
Thus, the alternate input function reads the value stored in the port output latch. This can be
used for testing purposes to allow a software trigger of an alternate input function by writing
to the port output latch.
On most of the port lines, the user software is responsible for setting the proper direction
when using an alternate input or output function of a pin.

Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Parallel ports
This is done by setting or clearing the direction control bit DPx.y of the pin before enabling
the alternate function.
There are port lines, however, where the direction of the port line is switched automatically.
For instance, in the multiplexed external bus modes of PORT0, the direction must be
switched several times for an instruction fetch in order to output the addresses and to input
the data.
Obviously, this cannot be done through instructions. In these cases, the direction of the port
line is switched automatically by hardware if the alternate function of such a pin is enabled.
To determine the appropriate level of the port output latches check how the alternate data
output is combined with the respective port latch output.
There is one basic structure for all port lines with only an alternate input function. Port lines
with only an alternate output function, however, have different structures due to the way the
direction of the pin is switched and depending on whether the pin is accessible by the user
software or not in the alternate function mode.
All port lines that are not used for these alternate functions may be used as general purpose
I/O lines.

A/D converter
14
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
A/D converter
A 10-bit A/D converter with 16+8 multiplexed input channels and a sample and hold circuit is
integrated on-chip. An automatic self-calibration adjusts the A/D converter module to
process parameter variations at each reset event. The sample time (for loading the
capacitors) and the conversion time is programmable and can be adjusted to the external
circuitry.
The ST10F272E has 16+8 multiplexed input channels on Port 5 and Port 1. The selection
between Port 5 and Port 1 is made via a bit in a XBus register. Refer to the User Manual for
a detailed description.
A different accuracy is guaranteed (Total Unadjusted Error) on Port 5 and Port 1 analog
channels (with higher restrictions when overload conditions occur); in particular, Port 5
channels are more accurate than the Port 1 ones. Refer to Section 24: Electrical
characteristics.
The A/D converter input bandwidth is limited by the achievable accuracy: supposing a
maximum error of 0.5LSB (2mV) impacting the global TUE (TUE depends also on other
causes), in worst case of temperature and process, the maximum frequency for a sine wave
analog signal is around 7.5 kHz. Of course, to reduce the effect of the input signal variation
on the accuracy down to 0.05LSB, the maximum input frequency of the sine wave shall be
reduced to 800 Hz.
If static signal is applied during sampling phase, series resistance shall not be greater than
20k (this taking into account eventual input leakage). It is suggested to not connect any
capacitance on analog input pins, in order to reduce the effect of charge partitioning (and
consequent voltage drop error) between the external and the internal capacitance: in case
an RC filter is necessary the external capacitance must be greater than 10nF to minimize
the accuracy impact.
Overrun error detection / protection is controlled by the ADDAT register. Either an interrupt
request is generated when the result of a previous conversion has not been read from the
result register at the time the next conversion is complete, or the next conversion is
suspended until the previous result has been read. For applications which require less than
16+8 analog input channels, the remaining channel inputs can be used as digital input port
pins.
The A/D converter of the ST10F272 supports different conversion modes:
72/188
Single channel single conversion: The analog level of the selected channel is
sampled once and converted. The result of the conversion is stored in the ADDAT
register.
Single channel continuous conversion: The analog level of the selected channel is
repeatedly sampled and converted. The result of the conversion is stored in the ADDAT
register.
Auto scan single conversion: The analog level of the selected channels are sampled
once and converted. After each conversion the result is stored in the ADDAT register.
The data can be transferred to the RAM by interrupt software management or using the
powerful Peripheral Event Controller (PEC) data transfer.
Auto scan continuous conversion: The analog level of the selected channels are
repeatedly sampled and converted. The result of the conversion is stored in the ADDAT
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
A/D converter
register. The data can be transferred to the RAM by interrupt software management or
using the PEC data transfer.
Wait for ADDAT read mode: When using continuous modes, in order to avoid to
overwrite the result of the current conversion by the next one, the ADWR bit of ADCON
control register must be activated. Then, until the ADDAT register is read, the new
result is stored in a temporary buffer and the conversion is on hold.
Channel injection mode: When using continuous modes, a selected channel can be
converted in between without changing the current operating mode. The 10-bit data of
the conversion are stored in ADRES field of ADDAT2. The current continuous mode
remains active after the single conversion is completed.
A full calibration sequence is performed after a reset. This full calibration lasts up to 40.630
CPU clock cycles. During this time, the busy flag ADBSY is set to indicate the operation. It
compensates the capacitance mismatch, so the calibration procedure does not need any
update during normal operation.
No conversion can be performed during this time: the bit ADBSY shall be polled to verify
when the calibration is over, and the module is able to start a convertion.

ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Serial channels
Serial communication with other microcontrollers, microprocessors, terminals or external
peripheral components is provided by up to four serial interfaces: two asynchronous /
synchronous serial channels (ASC0 and ASC1) and two high-speed synchronous serial
channel (SSC0 and SSC1). Dedicated Baud rate generators set up all standard Baud rates
without the requirement of oscillator tuning. For transmission, reception and erroneous
reception, separate interrupt vectors are provided for ASC0 and SSC0 serial channel. A
more complex mechanism of interrupt sources multiplexing is implemented for ASC1 and
SSC1 (XBUS mapped).
15.1
Asynchronous / synchronous serial interfaces

The asynchronous / synchronous serial interfaces (ASC0 and ASC1) provides serial
communication between the ST10F272 and other microcontrollers, microprocessors or
external peripherals.
15.2
ASCx in asynchronous mode

In asynchronous mode, 8- or 9-bit data transfer, parity generation and the number of stop
bits can be selected. Parity framing and overrun error detection is provided to increase the
reliability of data transfers. Transmission and reception of data is double-buffered. Fullduplex communication up to 2M Bauds (at 64 MHz of fCPU) is supported in this mode.

High speed synchronous serial interfaces

The High-Speed Synchronous Serial Interfaces (SSC0 and SSC1) provides flexible highspeed serial communication between the ST10F272 and other microcontrollers,
microprocessors or external peripherals.
The SSCx supports full-duplex and half-duplex synchronous communication. The serial
clock signal can be generated by the SSCx itself (master mode) or be received from an
external master (slave mode). Data width, shift direction, clock polarity and phase are
programmable.
This allows communication with SPI-compatible devices. Transmission and reception of
data is double-buffered. A 16-bit Baud rate generator provides the SSCx with a separate
serial clock signal. The serial channel SSCx has its own dedicated 16-bit Baud rate
generator with 16-bit reload capability, allowing Baud rate generation independent from the
timers.

I2C interface

ST10F272B/ST10F272E
I2C interface
The integrated I2C Bus Module handles the transmission and reception of frames over the
two-line SDA/SCL in accordance with the I2C Bus specification. The I2C Module can
operate in slave mode, in master mode or in multi-master mode. It can receive and transmit
data using 7-bit or 10-bit addressing. Data can be transferred at speeds up to 400 Kbit/s
(both Standard and Fast I2C bus modes are supported).
The module can generate three different types of interrupt:
Requests related to bus events, like start or stop events, arbitration lost, etc.
Requests related to data transmission
Requests related to data reception
These requests are issued to the interrupt controller by three different lines, and identified
as Error, Transmit, and Receive interrupt lines.
When the I2C module is enabled by setting bit XI2CEN in XPERCON register, pins P4.4 and
P4.7 (where SCL and SDA are respectively mapped as alternate functions) are
automatically configured as bidirectional open-drain: the value of the external pull-up
resistor depends on the application. P4, DP4 and ODP4 cannot influence the pin
configuration.
When the I2C cell is disabled (clearing bit XI2CEN), P4.4 and P4.7 pins are standard I/ O
controlled by P4, DP4 and ODP4.
The speed of the I2C interface may be selected between Standard mode (0 to 100 kHz) and
Fast I2C mode (100 to 400 kHz).

CAN modules
CAN modules
The two integrated CAN modules (CAN1 and CAN2) are identical and handle the
completely autonomous transmission and reception of CAN frames according to the CAN
specification V2.0 part B (active). It is based on the C-CAN specification.
Each on-chip CAN module can receive and transmit standard frames with 11-bit identifiers
as well as extended frames with 29-bit identifiers.
Because of duplication of the CAN controllers, the following adjustments are to be
considered:
Same internal register addresses of both CAN controllers, but with base addresses
differing in address bit A8; separate chip select for each CAN module. Refer to
Section 4: Memory organization.
The CAN1 transmit line (CAN1_TxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.6 pin and
the receive line (CAN1_RxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.5 pin.
The CAN2 transmit line (CAN2_TxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.7 pin and
the receive line (CAN2_RxD) is the alternate function of the Port P4.4 pin.
Interrupt request lines of the CAN1 and CAN2 modules are connected to the XBUS
interrupt lines together with other X-Peripherals sharing the four vectors.
The CAN modules must be selected with corresponding CANxEN bit of XPERCON
register before the bit XPEN of SYSCON register is set.
The reset default configuration is: CAN1 enabled, CAN2 disabled.
Note:
If one or both CAN modules is used, Port 4 cannot be programmed to output all 8 segment
address lines. Thus, only four segment address lines can be used, reducing the external
memory space to 5 Mbytes (1 Mbyte per CS line).
17.1
Configuration support
It is possible that both CAN controllers are working on the same CAN bus, supporting
together up to 64 message objects. In this configuration, both receive signals and both
transmit signals are linked together when using the same CAN transceiver. This
configuration is especially supported by providing open drain outputs for the CAN1_Txd and
CAN2_TxD signals. The open drain function is controlled with the ODP4 register for port P4:
in this way it is possible to connect together P4.4 with P4.5 (receive lines) and P4.6 with
P4.7 (transmit lines configured to be configured as Open-Drain).
The user is also allowed to map internally both CAN modules on the same pins P4.5 and
P4.6. In this way, P4.4 and P4.7 may be used either as general purpose I/O lines, or used
for I2C interface. This is possible by setting bit CANPAR of XMISC register. To access this
register it is necessary to set bit XMISCEN of XPERCON register and bit XPEN of SYSCON
register.
17.2
CAN bus configurations

Depending on application, CAN bus configuration may be one single bus with a single or
multiple interfaces or a multiple bus with a single or multiple interfaces. The ST10F272 is
able to support these two cases.

Real time clock
18
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Real time clock

The Real Time Clock is an independent timer, in which the clock is derived directly from the
clock oscillator on XTAL1 (main oscillator) input or XTAL3 input (32 kHz low-power
oscillator) so that it can be kept on running even in Idle or Power down mode (if enabled to).
Registers access is implemented onto the XBUS. This module is designed with the following
characteristics:
Generation of the current time and date for the system
Cyclic time based interrupt, on Port2 external interrupts every RTC basic clock tick
and after n RTC basic clock ticks (n is programmable) if enabled
58-bit timer for long term measurement
Capability to exit the ST10 chip from Power down mode (if PWDCFG of SYSCON set)
after a programmed delay
The real time clock is based on two main blocks of counters. The first block is a prescaler
which generates a basic reference clock (for example a 1 second period). This basic
reference clock is coming out of a 20-bit DIVIDER. This 20-bit counter is driven by an input
clock derived from the on-chip CPU clock, pre-divided by a 1/64 fixed counter. This 20-bit
counter is loaded at each basic reference clock period with the value of the 20-bit
PRESCALER register. The value of the 20-bit RTCP register determines the period of the
basic reference clock.
A timed interrupt request (RTCSI) may be sent on each basic reference clock period. The
second block of the RTC is a 32-bit counter that may be initialized with the current system
time. This counter is driven with the basic reference clock signal. In order to provide an
alarm function the contents of the counter is compared with a 32-bit alarm register. The
alarm register may be loaded with a reference date. An alarm interrupt request (RTCAI),
may be generated when the value of the counter matches the alarm register.
The timed RTCSI and the alarm RTCAI interrupt requests can trigger a fast external
interrupt via EXISEL register of port 2 and wake-up the ST10 chip when running power
down mode. Using the RTCOFF bit of RTCCON register, the user may switch off the clock
oscillator when entering the power down mode.
The last function implemented in the RTC is to switch off the main on-chip oscillator and the
32 kHz on chip oscillator if the ST10 enters the Power Down mode, so that the chip can be
fully switched off (if RTC is disabled).
At power on, and after Reset phase, if the presence of a 32 kHz oscillation on XTAL3 /
XTAL4 pins is detected, then the RTC counter is driven by this low frequency reference
clock: when Power Down mode is entered, the RTC can either be stopped or left running,
and in both the cases the main oscillator is turned off, reducing the power consumption of
the device to the minimum required to keep on running the RTC counter and relative
reference oscillator. This is valid also if Stand-by mode is entered (switching off the main
supply VDD), since both the RTC and the low power oscillator (32 kHz) are biased by the
VSTBY. Vice versa, when at power on and after Reset, the 32 kHz is not present, the main
oscillator drives the RTC counter, and since it is powered by the main power supply, it
cannot be maintained running in Stand-by mode, while in Power Down mode the main
oscillator is maintained running to provide the reference to the RTC module (if not disabled).

Watchdog timer
Watchdog timer
The Watchdog Timer is a fail-safe mechanism which prevents the microcontroller from
malfunctioning for long periods of time.
The Watchdog Timer is always enabled after a reset of the chip and can only be disabled in
the time interval until the EINIT (end of initialization) instruction has been executed.
Therefore, the chip start-up procedure is always monitored. The software must be designed
to service the watchdog timer before it overflows. If, due to hardware or software related
failures, the software fails to do so, the watchdog timer overflows and generates an internal
hardware reset. It pulls the RSTOUT pin low in order to allow external hardware
components to be reset.
Each of the different reset sources is indicated in the WDTCON register:
Watchdog Timer Reset in case of an overflow
Software Reset in case of execution of the SRST instruction
Short, Long and Power-On Reset in case of hardware reset (and depending of reset
pulse duration and RPD pin configuration)
The indicated bits are cleared with the EINIT instruction. The source of the reset can be
identified during the initialization phase.
The Watchdog Timer is 16-bit, clocked with the system clock divided by 2 or 128. The high
Byte of the watchdog timer register can be set to a pre-specified reload value (stored in
WDTREL).
Each time it is serviced by the application software, the high byte of the watchdog timer is
reloaded. For security, rewrite WDTCON each time before the watchdog timer is serviced
The Table 47 and Table 48 show the watchdog time range for 40 MHz and 64 MHz CPU
clock respectively.

Conditions
1)
RSTIN pulse should be longer than 500ns (Filter) and than settling time for configuration of Port0.
2)
See next Section 20.1 for more details on minimum reset pulse duration.
3)
The RPD status has no influence unless Bidirectional Reset is activated (bit BDRSTEN in SYSCON): RPD
low inhibits the Bidirectional reset on SW and WDT reset events, that is RSTIN is not activated (refer to
Section 20.4, Section 20.5 and Section 20.6).
Input filter
On RSTIN input pin an on-chip RC filter is implemented. It is sized to filter all the spikes
shorter than 50ns. On the other side, a valid pulse shall be longer than 500ns to grant that
ST10 recognizes a reset command. In between 50ns and 500ns a pulse can either be
filtered or recognized as valid, depending on the operating conditions and process
variations.
For this reason all minimum durations mentioned in this Chapter for the different kind of
reset events shall be carefully evaluated taking into account of the above requirements.
In particular, for Short Hardware Reset, where only 4 TCL is specified as minimum input
reset pulse duration, the operating frequency is a key factor. Examples:
84/188
For a CPU clock of 64 MHz, 4 TCL is 31.25ns, so it would be filtered. In this case the
minimum becomes the one imposed by the filter (that is 500ns).
For a CPU clock of 4 MHz, 4 TCL is 500ns. In this case the minimum from the formula
is coherent with the limit imposed by the filter.

20.2
System reset
Asynchronous reset
An asynchronous reset is triggered when RSTIN pin is pulled low while RPD pin is at low
level. Then the ST10F272 is immediately (after the input filter delay) forced in reset default
state. It pulls low RSTOUT pin, it cancels pending internal hold states if any, it aborts all
internal/external bus cycles, it switches buses (data, address and control signals) and I/O
pin drivers to high-impedance, it pulls high Port0 pins.
Note:
If an asynchronous reset occurs during a read or write phase in internal memories, the
content of the memory itself could be corrupted: to avoid this, synchronous reset usage is
strongly recommended.
Power-on reset
The asynchronous reset must be used during the power-on of the device. Depending
on crystal or resonator frequency, the on-chip oscillator needs about 1ms to 10ms to
stabilize (Refer to Electrical Characteristics Section), with an already stable VDD. The logic
of the ST10F272 does not need a stabilized clock signal to detect an asynchronous reset,
so it is suitable for power-on conditions. To ensure a proper reset sequence, the RSTIN pin
and the RPD pin must be held at low level until the device clock signal is stabilized and the
system configuration value on Port0 is settled.
At Power-on it is important to respect some additional constraints introduced by the start-up
phase of the different embedded modules.
In particular the on-chip voltage regulator needs at least 1ms to stabilize the internal 1.8V for
the core logic: this time is computed from when the external reference (VDD) becomes
stable (inside specification range, that is at least 4.5V). This is a constraint for the
application hardware (external voltage regulator): the RSTIN pin assertion shall be
extended to guarantee the voltage regulator stabilization.
A second constraint is imposed by the embedded FLASH. When booting from internal
memory, starting from RSTIN releasing, it needs a maximum of 1ms for its initialization:
before that, the internal reset (RST signal) is not released, so the CPU does not start code
execution in internal memory.
Note:
This is not true if external memory is used (pin EA held low during reset phase). In this case,
once RSTIN pin is released, and after few CPU clock (Filter delay plus 3...8 TCL), the
internal reset signal RST is released as well, so the code execution can start immediately
after. Obviously, an eventual access to the data in internal Flash is forbidden before its
initialization phase is completed: an eventual access during starting phase will return FFFFh
(just at the beginning), while later 009Bh (an illegal opcode trap can be generated).
At Power-on, the RSTIN pin shall be tied low for a minimum time that includes also the startup time of the main oscillator (tSTUP = 1ms for resonator, 10ms for crystal) and PLL
synchronization time (tPSUP = 200s): this means that if the internal FLASH is used, the
RSTIN pin could be released before the main oscillator and PLL are stable to recover some
time in the start-up phase (FLASH initialization only needs stable V18, but does not need
stable system clock since an internal dedicated oscillator is used).

System reset
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Warning:
It is recommended to provide the external hardware with a

current limitation circuitry. This is necessary to avoid
permanent damages of the device during the power-on
transient, when the capacitance on V18 pin is charged. For
the on-chip voltage regulator functionality 10nF are
sufficient: anyway, a maximum of 100nF on V18 pin should
not generate problems of over-current (higher value is
allowed if current is limited by the external hardware).
External current limitation is anyway recommended also to
avoid risks of damage in case of temporary short between
V18 and ground: the internal 1.8V drivers are sized to drive
currents of several tens of Ampere, so the current shall be
limited by the external hardware. The limit of current is
imposed by power dissipation considerations (Refer to
Electrical Characteristics Section).
In Figure 16 and Figure 17 Asynchronous Power-on timing diagrams are reported,

respectively with boot from internal or external memory, highlighting the reset phase
extension introduced by the embedded FLASH module when selected.
Note:
86/188
Never power the device without keeping RSTIN pin grounded: the device could enter in
unpredictable states, risking also permanent damages.

Exit from asynchronous reset state

When the RSTIN pin is pulled high, the device restarts: as already mentioned, if internal
FLASH is used, the restarting occurs after the embedded FLASH initialization routine is
completed. The system configuration is latched from Port0: ALE, RD and WR/WRL pins are
driven to their inactive level. The ST10F272 starts program execution from memory location
00'0000h in code segment 0. This starting location will typically point to the general
initialization routine. Timing of asynchronous Hardware Reset sequence are summarized in
Figure 18 and Figure 19.
20.3
Synchronous reset (warm reset)

A synchronous reset is triggered when RSTIN pin is pulled low while RPD pin is at high
level. In order to properly activate the internal reset logic of the device, the RSTIN pin must
be held low, at least, during 4 TCL (2 periods of CPU clock): refer also to Section 20.1 for
details on minimum reset pulse duration. The I/O pins are set to high impedance and
RSTOUT pin is driven low. After RSTIN level is detected, a short duration of a maximum of
12 TCL (six periods of CPU clock) elapses, during which pending internal hold states are
cancelled and the current internal access cycle if any is completed. External bus cycle is
aborted. The internal pull-down of RSTIN pin is activated if bit BDRSTEN of SYSCON
register was previously set by software. Note that this bit is always cleared on power-on or
after a reset sequence.

Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
System reset
Short and long synchronous reset

Once the first maximum 16 TCL are elapsed (4+12TCL), the internal reset sequence starts.
It is 1024 TCL cycles long: at the end of it, and after other 8TCL the level of RSTIN is
sampled (after the filter, see RSTF in the drawings): if it is already at high level, only Short
Reset is flagged (Refer to Section 19 for details on reset flags); if it is recognized still low,
the Long reset is flagged as well. The major difference between Long and Short reset is that
during the Long reset, also P0(15:13) become transparent, so it is possible to change the
clock options.
Warning:
In case of a short pulse on RSTIN pin, and when Bidirectional

reset is enabled, the RSTIN pin is held low by the internal
circuitry. At the end of the 1024 TCL cycles, the RTSIN pin is
released, but due to the presence of the input analog filter the
internal input reset signal (RSTF in the drawings) is released
later (from 50 to 500ns). This delay is in parallel with the
additional 8 TCL, at the end of which the internal input reset
line (RSTF) is sampled, to decide if the reset event is Short or
Long. In particular:
If 8 TCL > 500ns (FCPU < 8 MHz), the reset event is always recognized as Short
If 8 TCL < 500ns (FCPU > 8 MHz), the reset event could be recognized either as Short
or Long, depending on the real filter delay (between 50 and 500ns) and the CPU
frequency (RSTF sampled High means Short reset, RSTF sampled Low means Long
reset). Note that in case a Long Reset is recognized, once the 8 TCL are elapsed, the
P0 (15:13) pins becomes transparent, so the system clock can be re-configured. The
port returns not transparent 3-4TCL after the internal RSTF signal becomes high.
The same behavior just described, occurs also when unidirectional reset is selected and
RSTIN pin is held low till the end of the internal sequence (exactly 1024TCL + max 16 TCL)
and released exactly at that time.
Note:
When running with CPU frequency lower than 40 MHz, the minimum valid reset pulse to be
recognized by the CPU (4 TCL) could be longer than the minimum analog filter delay (50ns);
so it might happen that a short reset pulse is not filtered by the analog input filter, but on the
other hand it is not long enough to trigger a CPU reset (shorter than 4 TCL): this would
generate a FLASH reset but not a system reset. In this condition, the FLASH answers
always with FFFFh, which leads to an illegal opcode and consequently a trap event is
generated.
Exit from synchronous reset state

The reset sequence is extended until RSTIN level becomes high. Besides, it is internally
prolonged by the FLASH initialization when EA=1 (internal memory selected). Then, the
code execution restarts. The system configuration is latched from Port0, and ALE, RD and
WR/WRL pins are driven to their inactive level. The ST10F272 starts program execution
from memory location 00'0000h in code segment 0. This starting location will typically point
to the general initialization routine. Timing of synchronous reset sequence are summarized
in Figure 20 and Figure 21 where a Short Reset event is shown, with particular highlighting

timing of a typical synchronous Long Reset, again when booting from internal or external
memory.
Synchronous reset and RPD pin

Whenever the RSTIN pin is pulled low (by external hardware or as a consequence of a
Bidirectional reset), the RPD internal weak pull-down is activated. The external capacitance
(if any) on RPD pin is slowly discharged through the internal weak pull-down. If the voltage
level on RPD pin reaches the input low threshold (around 2.5V), the reset event becomes
immediately asynchronous. In case of hardware reset (short or long) the situation goes
immediately to the one illustrated in Figure 18. There is no effect if RPD comes again above
the input threshold: the asynchronous reset is completed coherently. To grant the normal
completion of a synchronous reset, the value of the capacitance shall be big enough to
maintain the voltage on RPD pin sufficient high along the duration of the internal reset
sequence.
For a Software or Watchdog reset events, an active synchronous reset is completed
regardless of the RPD status.
It is important to highlight that the signal that makes RPD status transparent under reset is
the internal RSTF (after the noise filter).

Software reset
A software reset sequence can be triggered at any time by the protected SRST (software
reset) instruction. This instruction can be deliberately executed within a program, e.g. to
leave bootstrap loader mode, or on a hardware trap that reveals system failure.
On execution of the SRST instruction, the internal reset sequence is started. The
microcontroller behavior is the same as for a synchronous short reset, except that only bits
P0.12...P0.8 are latched at the end of the reset sequence, while previously latched, bits
P0.7...P0.2 are cleared (that is written at 1).
A Software reset is always taken as synchronous: there is no influence on Software Reset
behavior with RPD status. In case Bidirectional Reset is selected, a Software Reset event
pulls RSTIN pin low: this occurs only if RPD is high; if RPD is low, RSTIN pin is not pulled
low even though Bidirectional Reset is selected.
Refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25 for unidirectional SW reset timing, and to Figure 26,
Figure 27 and Figure 28 for bidirectional.

System reset
Watchdog timer reset

When the watchdog timer is not disabled during the initialization, or serviced regularly
during program execution, it overflows and trigger the reset sequence.
Unlike hardware and software resets, the watchdog reset completes a running external bus
cycle if this bus cycle either does not use READY, or if READY is sampled active (low) after
the programmed wait states.
When READY is sampled inactive (high) after the programmed wait states the running
external bus cycle is aborted. Then the internal reset sequence is started.
Bit P0.12...P0.8 are latched at the end of the reset sequence and bit P0.7...P0.2 are cleared
(that is written at 1).
A Watchdog reset is always taken as synchronous: there is no influence on Watchdog Reset
behavior with RPD status. In case Bidirectional Reset is selected, a Watchdog Reset event
pulls RSTIN pin low: this occurs only if RPD is high; if RPD is low, RSTIN pin is not pulled
low even though Bidirectional Reset is selected.
Refer to Figure 24 and Figure 25 for unidirectional SW reset timing, and to Figure 26,

Bidirectional reset
As shown in the previous sections, the RSTOUT pin is driven active (low level) at the
beginning of any reset sequence (synchronous/asynchronous hardware, software and
watchdog timer resets). RSTOUT pin stays active low beyond the end of the initialization
routine, until the protected EINIT instruction (End of Initialization) is completed.
The Bidirectional Reset function is useful when external devices require a reset signal but
cannot be connected to RSTOUT pin, because RSTOUT signal lasts during initialization. It
is, for instance, the case of external memory running initialization routine before the
execution of EINIT instruction.
Bidirectional reset function is enabled by setting bit 3 (BDRSTEN) in SYSCON register. It
only can be enabled during the initialization routine, before EINIT instruction is completed.
When enabled, the open drain of the RSTIN pin is activated, pulling down the reset signal,
for the duration of the internal reset sequence (synchronous/asynchronous hardware,
synchronous software and synchronous watchdog timer resets). At the end of the internal
reset sequence the pull down is released and:
98/188
After a Short Synchronous Bidirectional Hardware Reset, if RSTF is sampled low 8

TCL periods after the internal reset sequence completion (refer to Figure 20 and
Figure 21), the Short Reset becomes a Long Reset. On the contrary, if RSTF is
sampled high the device simply exits reset state.
After a Software or Watchdog Bidirectional Reset, the device exits from reset. If RSTF
remains still low for at least 4 TCL periods (minimum time to recognize a Short
Hardware reset) after the reset exiting (refer to Figure 26 and Figure 27), the Software
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
System reset
or Watchdog Reset become a Short Hardware Reset. On the contrary, if RSTF remains
low for less than 4 TCL, the device simply exits reset state.
The Bidirectional reset is not effective in case RPD is held low, when a Software or
Watchdog reset event occurs. On the contrary, if a Software or Watchdog Bidirectional reset
event is active and RPD becomes low, the RSTIN pin is immediately released, while the
internal reset sequence is completed regardless of RPD status change (1024 TCL).
Note:
The bidirectional reset function is disabled by any reset sequence (bit BDRSTEN of
SYSCON is cleared). To be activated again it must be enabled during the initialization
routine.
WDTCON flags
Similarly to what already highlighted in the previous section when discussing about Short
reset and the degeneration into Long reset, similar situations may occur when Bidirectional
reset is enabled. The presence of the internal filter on RSTIN pin introduces a delay: when
RSTIN is released, the internal signal after the filter (see RSTF in the drawings) is delayed,
so it remains still active (low) for a while. It means that depending on the internal clock
speed, a short reset may be recognized as a long reset: the WDTCON flags are set
accordingly.
Besides, when either Software or Watchdog bidirectional reset events occur, again when the
RSTIN pin is released (at the end of the internal reset sequence), the RSTF internal signal
(after the filter) remains low for a while, and depending on the clock frequency it is
recognized high or low: 8TCL after the completion of the internal sequence, the level of
RSTF signal is sampled, and if recognized still low a Hardware reset sequence starts, and
WDTCON will flag this last event, masking the previous one (Software or Watchdog reset).
Typically, a Short Hardware reset is recognized, unless the RSTIN pin (and consequently
internal signal RSTF) is sufficiently held low by the external hardware to inject a Long
Hardware reset. After this occurrence, the initialization routine is not able to recognize a
Software or Watchdog bidirectional reset event, since a different source is flagged inside
WDTCON register. This phenomenon does not occur when internal FLASH is selected
during reset (EA = 1), since the initialization of the FLASH itself extend the internal reset
duration well beyond the filter delay.
Figure 26, Figure 27 and Figure 28 summarize the timing for Software and Watchdog Timer
Bidirectional reset events: in particular Figure 28 shows the degeneration into Hardware
reset.

Reset circuitry
Internal reset circuitry is described in Figure 31. The RSTIN pin provides an internal pull-up
resistor of 50k to 250k (The minimum reset time must be calculated using the lowest
value).
It also provides a programmable (BDRSTEN bit of SYSCON register) pull-down to output
internal reset state signal (synchronous reset, watchdog timer reset or software reset).
This bidirectional reset function is useful in applications where external devices require a
reset signal but cannot be connected to RSTOUT pin.
This is the case of an external memory running codes before EINIT (end of initialization)
instruction is executed. RSTOUT pin is pulled high only when EINIT is executed.
The RPD pin provides an internal weak pull-down resistor which discharges external
capacitor at a typical rate of 200A. If bit PWDCFG of SYSCON register is set, an internal
pull-up resistor is activated at the end of the reset sequence. This pull-up will charge any
capacitor connected on RPD pin.
The simplest way to reset the ST10F272 is to insert a capacitor C1 between RSTIN pin and
VSS, and a capacitor between RPD pin and VSS (C0) with a pull-up resistor R0 between
RPD pin and VDD. The input RSTIN provides an internal pull-up device equalling a resistor
of 50k to 250k (the minimum reset time must be determined by the lowest value). Select
C1 that produce a sufficient discharge time to permit the internal or external oscillator and /
or internal PLL and the on-chip voltage regulator to stabilize.

System reset
To ensure correct power-up reset with controlled supply current consumption, specially if
clock signal requires a long period of time to stabilize, an asynchronous hardware reset is
required during power-up. For this reason, it is recommended to connect the external R0-C0
circuit shown in Figure 29 to the RPD pin. On power-up, the logical low level on RPD pin
forces an asynchronous hardware reset when RSTIN is asserted low. The external pull-up
R0 will then charge the capacitor C0. Note that an internal pull-down device on RPD pin is
turned on when RSTIN pin is low, and causes the external capacitor (C0) to begin
discharging at a typical rate of 100-200A. With this mechanism, after power-up reset, short
low pulses applied on RSTIN produce synchronous hardware reset. If RSTIN is asserted
longer than the time needed for C0 to be discharged by the internal pull-down device, then
the device is forced in an asynchronous reset. This mechanism insures recovery from very
catastrophic failure.

The minimum reset circuit of Figure 29 is not adequate when the RSTIN pin is driven from
the ST10F272 itself during software or watchdog triggered resets, because of the capacitor
C1 that will keep the voltage on RSTIN pin above VIL after the end of the internal reset
sequence, and thus will trigger an asynchronous reset sequence.
Figure 30 shows an example of a reset circuit. In this example, R1-C1 external circuit is only
used to generate power-up or manual reset, and R0-C0 circuit on RPD is used for power-up
reset and to exit from Power Down mode. Diode D1 creates a wired-OR gate connection to
the reset pin and may be replaced by open-collector Schmitt trigger buffer. Diode D2
provides a faster cycle time for repetitive power-on resets.
R2 is an optional pull-up for faster recovery and correct biasing of TTL Open Collector
drivers.

Power reduction modes
21
ST10F272B/ST10F272E

Three different power reduction modes with different levels of power reduction have been
implemented in the ST10F272. In Idle mode only CPU is stopped, while peripheral still
operate. In Power Down mode both CPU and peripherals are stopped. In Stand-by mode
the main power supply (VDD) can be turned off while a portion of the internal RAM remains
powered via VSTBY dedicated power pin.
Idle and Power Down modes are software activated by a protected instruction and are
terminated in different ways as described in the following sections.
Stand-by mode is entered simply removing VDD, holding the MCU under reset state.
Note:
All external bus actions are completed before Idle or Power Down mode is entered.
However, Idle or Power Down mode is not entered if READY is enabled, but has not been
activated (driven low for negative polarity, or driven high for positive polarity) during the last
bus access.
21.1
Idle mode
Idle mode is entered by running IDLE protected instruction. The CPU operation is stopped
and the peripherals still run.
Idle mode is terminate by any interrupt request. Whatever the interrupt is serviced or not,
the instruction following the IDLE instruction will be executed after return from interrupt
(RETI) instruction, then the CPU resumes the normal program.
21.2
Power down mode

Power Down mode starts by running PWRDN protected instruction. Internal clock is
stopped, all MCU parts are on hold including the watchdog timer. The only exception could
be the Real Time Clock if opportunely programmed and one of the two oscillator circuits as
a consequence (either the main or the 32 kHz on-chip oscillator).
When Real Time Clock module is used, when the device is in Power Down mode a
reference clock is needed. In this case, two possible configurations may be selected by the
user application according to the desired level of power reduction:
A 32 kHz crystal is connected to the on-chip low-power oscillator (pins XTAL3 / XTAL4)
and running. In this case the main oscillator is stopped when Power Down mode is
entered, while the Real Time Clock continue counting using 32 kHz clock signal as
reference. The presence of a running low-power oscillator is detected after the Poweron: this clock is immediately assumed (if present, or as soon as it is detected) as
reference for the Real Time Clock counter and it will be maintained forever (unless
specifically disabled via software).
Only the main oscillator is running (XTAL1 / XTAL2 pins). In this case the main
oscillator is not stopped when Power Down is entered, and the Real Time Clock
continue counting using the main oscillator clock signal as reference.
There are two different operating Power Down modes: protected mode and interruptible
mode.

Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Before entering Power Down mode (by executing the instruction PWRDN), bit VREGOFF in
XMISC register must be set.
Note:
Leaving the main voltage regulator active during Power Down may lead to unexpected
behavior (ex: CPU wake-up) and power consumption higher than what specified.
21.2.1
Protected power down mode

This mode is selected when PWDCFG (bit 5) of SYSCON register is cleared. The Protected
Power Down mode is only activated if the NMI pin is pulled low when executing PWRDN
instruction (this means that the PWRD instruction belongs to the NMI software routine). This
mode is only deactivated with an external hardware reset on RSTIN pin.
21.2.2
Interruptible power down mode

This mode is selected when PWDCFG (bit 5) of SYSCON register is set.
The Interruptible Power Down mode is only activated if all the enabled Fast External
Interrupt pins are in their inactive level.
This mode is deactivated with an external reset applied to RSTIN pin or with an interrupt
request applied to one of the Fast External Interrupt pins, or with an interrupt generated by
the Real Time Clock, or with an interrupt generated by the activity on CANs and I2C module
interfaces. To allow the internal PLL and clock to stabilize, the RSTIN pin must be held low
according the recommendations described in Section 20.
An external RC circuit must be connected to RPD pin, as shown in the Figure 35.

*$3*5,
To exit Power Down mode with an external interrupt, an EXxIN (x = 7...0) pin has to be
asserted for at least 40ns.
21.3
Stand-by mode
In Stand-by mode, it is possible to turn off the main VDD provided that VSTBY is available
through the dedicated pin of the ST10F272.
To enter Stand-by mode it is mandatory to held the device under reset: once the device is
under reset, the RAM is disabled (see XRAM2EN bit of XPERCON register), and its digital
interface is frozen in order to avoid any kind of data corruption.
A dedicated embedded low-power voltage regulator is implemented to generate the internal
low voltage supply (about 1.65V in Stand-by mode) to bias all those circuits that shall remain
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
111/188
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
active: the portion of XRAM (16Kbytes for ST10F272E), the RTC counters and 32 kHz onchip oscillator amplifier.
In normal running mode (that is when main VDD is on) the VSTBY pin can be tied to VSS
during reset to exercise the EA functionality associated with the same pin: the voltage
supply for the circuitries which are usually biased with VSTBY (see in particular the 32 kHz
oscillator used in conjunction with Real Time Clock module), is granted by the active main
VDD.
It must be noted that Stand-by Mode can generate problems associated with the usage of
different power supplies in CMOS systems; particular attention must be paid when the
ST10F272 I/O lines are interfaced with other external CMOS integrated circuits: if VDD of
ST10F272 becomes (for example in Stand-by Mode) lower than the output level forced by
the I/O lines of these external integrated circuits, the ST10F272 could be directly powered
through the inherent diode existing on ST10F272 output driver circuitry. The same is valid
for ST10F272 interfaced to active/inactive communication buses during Stand-by mode:
current injection can be generated through the inherent diode.
Furthermore, the sequence of turning on/off of the different voltage could be critical for the
system (not only for the ST10F272 device). The device Stand-by mode current (ISTBY) may
vary while VDD to VSTBY (and vice versa) transition occurs: some current flows between VDD
and VSTBY pins. System noise on both VDD and VSTBY can contribute to increase this
phenomenon.
21.3.1
Entering stand-by mode

As already said, to enter Stand-by Mode XRAM2EN bit in the XPERCON Register must be
cleared: this allows to freeze immediately the RAM interface, avoiding any data corruption.
As a consequence of a RESET event, the RAM Power Supply is switched to the internal
low-voltage supply V18SB (derived from VSTBY through the low-power voltage regulator).
The RAM interface will remain frozen until the bit XRAM2EN is set again by software
initialization routine (at next exit from main VDD power-on reset sequence).
Since V18 is falling down (as a consequence of VDD turning off), it can happen that the
XRAM2EN bit is no longer able to guarantee its content (logic 0), being the XPERCON
Register powered by internal V18. This does not generate any problem, because the Standby Mode switching dedicated circuit continues to confirm the RAM interface freezing,
irrespective the XRAM2EN bit content; XRAM2EN bit status is considered again when
internal V18 comes back over internal stand-by reference V18SB.
If internal V18 becomes lower than internal stand-by reference (V18SB) of about 0.3 to 0.45V
with bit XRAM2EN set, the RAM Supply switching circuit is not active: in case of a
temporary drop on internal V18 voltage versus internal V18SB during normal code execution,
no spurious Stand-by Mode switching can occur (the RAM is not frozen and can still be
accessed).
The ST10F272 Core module, generating the RAM control signals, is powered by internal
V18 supply; during turning off transient these control signals follow the V18, while RAM is
switched to V18SB internal reference. It could happen that a high level of RAM write strobe
from ST10F272 Core (active low signal) is low enough to be recognized as a logic 0 by the
RAM interface (due to V18 lower than V18SB): The bus status could contain a valid address
for the RAM and an unwanted data corruption could occur. For this reason, an extra
interface, powered by the switched supply, is used to prevent the RAM from this kind of
potential corruption mechanism.

ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Warning:
21.3.2
During power-off phase, it is important that the external

hardware maintains a stable ground level on RSTIN pin,
without any glitch, in order to avoid spurious exiting from
reset status with unstable power supply.
Exiting stand-by mode

After the system has entered the Stand-by Mode, the procedure to exit this mode consists of
a standard power-on sequence, with the only difference that the RAM is already powered
through V18SB internal reference (derived from VSTBY pin external voltage).
It is recommended to held the device under RESET (RSTIN pin forced low) until external
VDD voltage pin is stable. Even though, at the very beginning of the power-on phase, the
device is maintained under reset by the internal low voltage detector circuit (implemented
inside the main voltage regulator) till the internal V18 becomes higher than about 1.0V, there
is no warranty that the device stays under reset status if RSTIN is at high level during power
ramp up. So, it is important the external hardware is able to guarantee a stable ground level
on RSTIN along the power-on phase, without any temporary glitch.
The external hardware shall be responsible to drive low the RSTIN pin until the VDD is
stable, even though the internal LVD is active.
Once the internal reset signal goes low, the RAM (still frozen) power supply is switched to
the main V18.
At this time, everything becomes stable, and the execution of the initialization routines can
start: XRAM2EN bit can be set, enabling the RAM.
21.3.3
Real time clock and stand-by mode

When stand-by mode is entered (turning off the main supply VDD), the Real Time Clock
counting can be maintained running in case the on-chip 32 kHz oscillator is used to provide
the reference to the counter. This is not possible if the main oscillator is used as reference
for the counter: Being the main oscillator powered by VDD, once this is switched off, the
oscillator is stopped.

Programmable output clock divider
Programmable output clock divider

A specific register mapped on the XBUS allows to choose the division factor on the
CLKOUT signal (P3.15). This register is mapped on X-Miscellaneous memory address
range.
When CLKOUT function is enabled by setting bit CLKEN of register SYSCON, by default
the CPU clock is output on P3.15. Setting bit XMISCEN of register XPERCON and bit XPEN
of register SYSCON, it is possible to program the clock prescaling factor: in this way on
P3.15 a prescaled value of the CPU clock can be output.
When CLKOUT function is not enabled (bit CLKEN of register SYSCON cleared), P3.15
does not output any clock signal, even though XCLKOUTDIV register is programmed.

1. The system configuration is selected during reset. SYSCON reset value is 0000 0xx0
x000 0000b.
2. Reset Value depends on different triggered reset event.
3. The XPnIC Interrupt Control Registers control interrupt requests from integrated X-Bus
peripherals. Some software controlled interrupt requests may be generated by setting the
XPnIR bits (of XPnIC register) of the unused X-Peripheral nodes.

X-registers
Table 54 lists all X-Bus registers which are implemented in the ST10F272 ordered by their
name. The FLASH control registers are listed in a separate section, in spite of they also are
physically mapped on X-Bus memory space.
Note:
The X-Registers are not bit-addressable.

PROGVDD
Programming VDD voltage

VDD voltage when programming EPROM or FLASH devices is calculated using the
following formula: VDD = 20 x [PROGVDD] / 256 (volts) - 40h for ST10F272 (5V).
PROGVPP
Programming VPP voltage (no need of external VPP) - 00h
All identification words are read only registers.

The values written inside different Identification Register bits are valid only after the Flash
initialization phase is completed. When code execution is started from internal memory (pin
EA held high during reset), the Flash has certainly completed its initialization, so the bits of
Identification Registers are immediately ready to be read out. On the contrary, when code
execution is started from external memory (pin EA held low during reset), the Flash
initialization is not yet completed, so the bits of Identification Registers are not ready. The
user can poll bits 15 and 14 of IDMEM register: when both bits are read low, the Flash
initialization is complete, so all Identification Register bits are correct.
Before Flash initialization completion, the default setting of the different Identification
Registers are the following:

Absolute maximum ratings

Stressing the device above the rating listed in Table 60 may cause permanent damage to
the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or any other
conditions above those indicated in the Operating sections of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to the conditions in Table 60 for extended periods may affect device
reliability. During overload conditions (VIN > VDD or VIN < VSS) the voltage on pins with respect
to ground (VSS) must not exceed the values defined by the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
During Power-on and Power-off transients (including Standby entering/exiting phases), the
relationships between voltages applied to the device and the main VDD shall be always
respected. In particular power-on and power-off of VAREF shall be coherent with VDD
transient, in order to avoid undesired current injection through the on-chip protection diodes.

1. The value of the VSTBY voltage is specified in the range 4.5 - 5.5 Volt. Nevertheless, it is acceptable to exceed the upper
limit (up to 6.0 Volt) for a maximum of 100 hours over the global 300000 hours, representing the lifetime of the device
(about 30 years). On the other hand, it is possible to exceed the lower limit (down to 4.0 Volt) whenever RTC and 32kHz
on-chip oscillator amplifier are turned off (only Stand-by RAM powered through VSTBY pin in Stand-by mode). When
VSTBY voltage is lower than main VDD, the input section of VSTBY/EA pin can generate a spurious static consumption on
VDD power supply (in the range of tenth of A).
2. For details on operating conditions concerning the usage of A/D Converter refer to Section 24.7.
24.3
Power considerations
The average chip-junction temperature, TJ, in degrees Celsius, may be calculated using the
following equation:
TJ = TA + (PD x JA) (1)
Where:
TA is the Ambient Temperature in C,
JA is the Package Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance, in C/W,
PD is the sum of PINT and PI/O (PD = PINT + PI/O),
PINT is the product of IDD and VDD, expressed in Watt. This is the Chip Internal Power,
PI/O represents the Power Dissipation on Input and Output Pins; User Determined.
Most of the time for the applications PI/O < PINT and may be neglected. On the other hand,
PI/O may be significant if the device is configured to drive continuously external modules
and/or memories.
An approximate relationship between PD and TJ (if PI/O is neglected) is given by:
PD = K / (TJ + 273C) (2)
Therefore (solving equations 1 and 2):
K = PD x (TA + 273C) + JA x PD2 (3)
Where:
K is a constant for the particular part, which may be determined from equation (3) by
measuring PD (at equilibrium) for a known TA. Using this value of K, the values of PD and TJ
may be obtained by solving equations (1) and (2) iteratively for any value of TA.

1. Not 100% tested, guaranteed by design characterization.

2. This specification is not valid for outputs which are switched to open drain mode. In this case the respective output will float
and the voltage is imposed by the external circuitry.
3. Port 5 leakage values are granted for not selected A/D Converter channel. One channels is always selected (by default,
after reset, P5.0 is selected). For the selected channel the leakage value is similar to that of other port pins.
4. The leakage of P2.0 is higher than other pins due to the additional logic (pass gates active only in specific test modes)
implemented on input path. Pay attention to not stress P2.0 input pin with negative overload beyond the specified limits:
failures in Flash reading may occur (sense amplifier perturbation). Refer to next Figure 36 for a scheme of the input
circuitry.
5. Overload conditions occur if the standard operating conditions are exceeded, i.e. the voltage on any pin exceeds the
specified range (i.e. VOV > VDD + 0.3 V or VOV < 0.3 V). The absolute sum of input overload currents on all port pins may
not exceed 50mA. The supply voltage must remain within the specified limits.
6. This specification is only valid during Reset, or during Hold- or Adapt-mode. Port 6 pins are only affected, if they are used
for CS output and the open drain function is not enabled.
7. The maximum current may be drawn while the respective signal line remains inactive.
8. The minimum current must be drawn in order to drive the respective signal line active.
9. The power supply current is a function of the operating frequency (fCPU is expressed in MHz). This dependency is
illustrated in the Figure 37 below. This parameter is tested at VDDmax and at maximum CPU clock frequency with all
outputs disconnected and all inputs at VIL or VIH, RSTIN pin at VIH1min: this implies I/O current is not considered. The
device is doing the following:
Fetching code from IRAM and XRAM1, accessing in read and write to both XRAM modules
Watchdog Timer is enabled and regularly serviced
RTC is running with main oscillator clock as reference, generating a tick interrupts every 192 clock cycles
Four channel of XPWM are running (waves period: 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 CPU clock cycles): no output toggling
Five General Purpose Timers are running in timer mode with prescaler equal to 8 (T2, T3, T4, T5, T6)
ADC is in Auto Scan Continuous Conversion mode on all 16 channels of Port5
All interrupts generated by XPWM, RTC, Timers and ADC are not serviced

- Watchdog Timer is enabled and regularly serviced
- RTC is running with main oscillator clock as reference, generating a tick interrupts every 192 clock cycles
- Four channel of XPWM are running (waves period: 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 CPU clock cycles): no output toggling

11. The Idle mode supply current is a function of the operating frequency (fCPU is expressed in MHz). This dependency is
illustrated in the Figure 36. These parameters are tested and at maximum CPU clock with all outputs disconnected and all
inputs at VIL or VIH, RSTIN pin at VIH1min.
12. This parameter is tested including leakage currents. All inputs (including pins configured as inputs) at 0 V to 0.1 V or at VDD
0.1 V to VDD, VAREF = 0 V, all outputs (including pins configured as outputs) disconnected. Besides, the Main Voltage
Regulator is assumed off: in case it is not, additional 1mA shall be assumed.

1. VAREF can be tied to ground when A/D Converter is not in use: an extra consumption (around 200A) on
main VDD is added due to internal analogue circuitry not completely turned off: so, it is suggested to
maintain the VAREF at VDD level even when not in use, and eventually switch off the A/D Converter circuitry
setting bit ADOFF in ADCON register.
2. VAIN may exceed VAGND or VAREF up to the absolute maximum ratings. However, the conversion result in
these cases will be 0x000H or 0x3FFH, respectively.
4. During the sample time the input capacitance CAIN can be charged/discharged by the external source. The
internal resistance of the analog source must allow the capacitance to reach its final voltage level within tS.
After the end of the sample time tS, changes of the analog input voltage have no effect on the conversion
result.
Values for the sample clock tS depends on programming and can be taken from Table 68: A/D converter
programming.
5. This parameter includes the sample time tS, the time for determining the digital result and the time to load
the result register with the conversion result. Values for the conversion clock tCC depend on programming
and can be taken from next Table 68.
6. DNL, INL, OFS and TUE are tested at VAREF = 5.0 V, VAGND = 0V, VDD = 5.0 V. It is guaranteed by design
characterization for all other voltages within the defined voltage range.
LSB has a value of VAREF/1024.
For Port5 channels, the specified TUE ( 2LSB) is guaranteed also with an overload condition (see IOV
specification) occurring on maximum 2 not selected analog input pins of Port5 and the absolute sum of
input overload currents on all Port5 analog input pins does not exceed 10 mA.
For Port1 channels, the specified TUE is guaranteed when no overload condition is applied to Port1 pins:
when an overload condition occurs on maximum 2 not selected analog input pins of Port1 and the input
positive overload current on all analog input pins does not exceed 10 mA (either dynamic or static
injection), the specified TUE is degraded ( 7LSB). To get the same accuracy, the negative injection
current on Port1 pins shall not exceed -1mA in case of both dynamic and static injection.
7. The coupling factor is measured on a channel while an overload condition occurs on the adjacent not
selected channels with the overload current within the different specified ranges (for both positive and
negative injection current).
8. Refer to scheme reported in Figure 39.
24.7.1
Conversion timing control

When a conversion is started, first the capacitances of the converter are loaded via the
respective analog input pin to the current analog input voltage. The time to load the
capacitances is referred to as sample time. Next the sampled voltage is converted to a
digital value several successive steps, which correspond to the 10-bit resolution of the ADC.
During these steps the internal capacitances are repeatedly charged and discharged via the
VAREF pin.
The current that has to be drawn from the sources for sampling and changing charges
depends on the time that each respective step takes, because the capacitors must reach
their final voltage level within the given time, at least with a certain approximation. The
maximum current, however, that a source can deliver, depends on its internal resistance.
The time that the two different actions during conversion take (sampling, and converting)
can be programmed within a certain range in the ST10F272 relative to the CPU clock. The
absolute time that is consumed by the different conversion steps therefore is independent
from the general speed of the controller. This allows adjusting the A/D converter of the
ST10F272 to the properties of the system:
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
141/188
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
Fast conversion can be achieved by programming the respective times to their absolute
possible minimum. This is preferable for scanning high frequency signals. The internal
resistance of analog source and analog supply must be sufficiently low, however.
High internal resistance can be achieved by programming the respective times to a higher
value, or the possible maximum. This is preferable when using analog sources and supply
with a high internal resistance in order to keep the current as low as possible. The
conversion rate in this case may be considerably lower, however.
The conversion times are programmed via the upper four bits of register ADCON. Bit fields
ADCTC and ADSTC are used to define the basic conversion time and in particular the
partition between sample phase and comparison phases. Table 68 lists the possible
combinations. The timings refer to the unit TCL, where fCPU = 1/2TCL. A complete
conversion time includes the conversion itself, the sample time and the time required to
transfer the digital value to the result register.

ST10F269).

A/D conversion accuracy

The A/D Converter compares the analog voltage sampled on the selected analog input
channel to its analog reference voltage (VAREF) and converts it into 10-bit digital data. The
absolute accuracy of the A/D conversion is the deviation between the input analog value
and the output digital value. It includes the following errors:
142/188
Offset error (OFS)
Gain Error (GE)
Quantization error
Non-Linearity error (Differential and Integral)
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
These four error quantities are explained below using Figure 38.
Offset error
Offset error is the deviation between actual and ideal A/D conversion characteristics when
the digital output value changes from the minimum (zero voltage) 00 to 01 (Figure 38, see
OFS).
Gain error
Gain error is the deviation between the actual and ideal A/D conversion characteristics
when the digital output value changes from the 3FE to the maximum 3FF, once offset error
is subtracted. Gain error combined with offset error represents the so-called full-scale error
(Figure 38, OFS + GE).
Quantization error
Quantization error is the intrinsic error of the A/D converter and is expressed as 1/2 LSB.
Non-linearity error
Non-Linearity error is the deviation between actual and the best-fitting A/D conversion
characteristics (see Figure 38):
Differential Non-Linearity error is the actual step dimension versus the ideal one (1
LSBIDEAL).
Integral Non-Linearity error is the distance between the center of the actual step and
the center of the bisector line, in the actual characteristics. Note that for Integral NonLinearity error, the effect of offset, gain and quantization errors is not included.
Note:
Bisector characteristic is obtained drawing a line from 1/2 LSB before the first step of the
real characteristic, and 1/2 LSB after the last step again of the real characteristic.
24.7.3
Total unadjusted error

The Total Unadjusted Error specifies the maximum deviation from the ideal characteristic:
the number provided in the Data Sheet represents the maximum error with respect to the
entire characteristic. It is a combination of the Offset, Gain and Integral Linearity errors. The
different errors may compensate each other depending on the relative sign of the Offset and
Gain errors. Refer to Figure 38, see TUE.

Analog reference pins

The accuracy of the A/D converter depends on how accurate is its analog reference: a noise
in the reference results in at least that much error in a conversion. A low pass filter on the
A/D converter reference source (supplied through pins VAREF and VAGND), is recommended
in order to clean the signal, minimizing the noise. A simple capacitive bypassing may be
sufficient in most of the cases; in presence of high RF noise energy, inductors or ferrite
beads may be necessary.
In this architecture, VAREF and VAGND pins represents also the power supply of the analog
circuitry of the A/D converter: there is an effective DC current requirement from the
reference voltage by the internal resistor string in the R-C DAC array and by the rest of the
analog circuitry.
An external resistance on VAREF could introduce error under certain conditions: for this
reasons, series resistance are not advisable, and more in general any series devices in the
filter network should be designed to minimize the DC resistance.
Analog Input pins

To improve the accuracy of the A/D converter, it is definitively necessary that analog input
pins have low AC impedance. Placing a capacitor with good high frequency characteristics
at the input pin of the device, can be effective: the capacitor should be as large as possible,
ideally infinite. This capacitor contributes to attenuating the noise present on the input pin;
144/188
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
besides, it sources charge during the sampling phase, when the analog signal source is a
high-impedance source.
A real filter, can typically be obtained by using a series resistance with a capacitor on the
input pin (simple RC Filter). The RC filtering may be limited according to the value of source
impedance of the transducer or circuit supplying the analog signal to be measured. The filter
at the input pins must be designed taking into account the dynamic characteristics of the
input signal (bandwidth).

Input Leakage and external circuit

The series resistor utilized to limit the current to a pin (see RL in Figure 39), in combination
with a large source impedance can lead to a degradation of A/D converter accuracy when
input leakage is present.
Data about maximum input leakage current at each pin are provided in the Data Sheet (see
Section 24: Electrical characteristics). Input leakage is greatest at high operating
temperatures, and in general it decreases by one half for each 10 C decrease in
temperature.
Considering that, for a 10-bit A/D converter one count is about 5mV (assuming VAREF = 5V),
an input leakage of 100nA acting though an RL = 50k of external resistance leads to an
error of exactly one count (5mV); if the resistance were 100k the error would become two
counts.
Eventual additional leakage due to external clamping diodes must also be taken into
account in computing the total leakage affecting the A/D converter measurements. Another
contribution to the total leakage is represented by the charge sharing effects with the
sampling capacitance: being CS substantially a switched capacitance, with a frequency
equal to the conversion rate of a single channel (maximum when fixed channel continuous
conversion mode is selected), it can be seen as a resistive path to ground. For instance,
assuming a conversion rate of 250kHz, with CS equal to 4pF, a resistance of 1M is
obtained (REQ = 1 / fCCS, where fC represents the conversion rate at the considered
channel). To minimize the error induced by the voltage partitioning between this resistance

(sampled voltage on CS) and the sum of RS + RF + RL + RSW + RAD, the external circuit
must be designed to respect the following relation:
Equation 1
R S + R F + R L + R SW + R AD 1
V A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ < --- LSB
2
R EQ
The formula above provides a constraints for external network design, in particular on
resistive path.
A second aspect involving the capacitance network shall be considered. Assuming the three
capacitances CF, CP1 and CP2 initially charged at the source voltage VA (refer to the
equivalent circuit reported in Figure 39), when the sampling phase is started (A/D switch
close), a charge sharing phenomena is installed.

*$3*5,
In particular two different transient periods can be distinguished (see Figure 40):
A first and quick charge transfer from the internal capacitance CP1 and CP2 to the
sampling capacitance CS occurs (CS is supposed initially completely discharged):
considering a worst case (since the time constant in reality would be faster) in which
CP2 is reported in parallel to CP1 (call CP = CP1 + CP2), the two capacitance CP and CS
are in series, and the time constant is:
Equation 2
C P CS
1 = ( R SW + R AD ) ----------------------CP + CS
This relation can again be simplified considering only CS as an additional worst

condition. In reality, the transient is faster, but the A/D Converter circuitry has been
designed to be robust also in the very worst case: the sampling time TS is always much
longer than the internal time constant:
Equation 3
1 < ( RSW + R AD ) CS < < T S
146/188
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
The charge of CP1 and CP2 is redistributed also on CS, determining a new value of the
voltage VA1 on the capacitance according to the following equation:
Equation 4
V A1 ( C S + C P1 + C P2 ) = V A ( C P1 + C P2 )
A second charge transfer involves also CF (that is typically bigger than the on-chip
capacitance) through the resistance RL: again considering the worst case in which CP2
and CS were in parallel to CP1 (since the time constant in reality would be faster), the
time constant is:
Equation 5
2 < R L ( C S + C P1 + C P2 )
In this case, the time constant depends on the external circuit: in particular imposing that the
transient is completed well before the end of sampling time TS, a constraints on RL sizing is
obtained:
Equation 6
10 2 = 10 RL ( C S + CP1 + C P2 ) TS
Of course, RL shall be sized also according to the current limitation constraints, in

combination with RS (source impedance) and RF (filter resistance). Being CF definitively
bigger than CP1, CP2 and CS, then the final voltage VA2 (at the end of the charge transfer
transient) will be much higher than VA1. The following equation must be respected (charge
balance assuming now CS already charged at VA1):
Equation 7
VA2 ( C S + C P1 + C P2 + C F ) = V A C F + V A1 ( C P1 + C P2 + C S )
The two transients above are not influenced by the voltage source that, due to the presence
of the RFCF filter, is not able to provide the extra charge to compensate the voltage drop on
CS with respect to the ideal source VA; the time constant RFCF of the filter is very high with
respect to the sampling time (TS). The filter is typically designed to act as anti-aliasing (see
Figure 41).
Calling f0 the bandwidth of the source signal (and as a consequence the cut-off frequency of
the anti-aliasing filter, fF), according to Nyquist theorem the conversion rate fC must be at
least 2f0; it means that the constant time of the filter is greater than or at least equal to twice
the conversion period (TC). Again the conversion period TC is longer than the sampling time
TS, which is just a portion of it, even when fixed channel continuous conversion mode is
selected (fastest conversion rate at a specific channel): in conclusion it is evident that the
time constant of the filter RFCF is definitively much higher than the sampling time TS, so the
charge level on CS cannot be modified by the analog signal source during the time in which
the sampling switch is closed.

The considerations above lead to impose new constraints to the external circuit, to reduce
the accuracy error due to the voltage drop on CS; from the two charge balance equations
above, it is simple to derive the following relation between the ideal and real sampled
voltage on CS:
Equation 8

C P1 + C P2 + C F + C S
From this formula, in the worst case (when VA is maximum, that is for instance 5V),
assuming to accept a maximum error of half a count (~2.44mV), it is immediately evident a
constraints on CF value:
Equation 9
C F > 2048 C S
In the next section an example of how to design the external network is provided, assuming
some reasonable values for the internal parameters and making hypothesis on the
characteristics of the analog signal to be sampled.

Example of external network sizing

The following hypothesis are formulated in order to proceed in designing the external
network on A/D Converter input pins:
Analog Signal Source Bandwidth (f0):10kHz
conversion Rate (fC):25kHz
Sampling Time (TS):1s
Pin Input Capacitance (CP1):5pF
Pin Input Routing Capacitance (CP2):1pF
Sampling Capacitance (CS):4pF
Maximum Input Current Injection (IINJ):3mA
Maximum Analog Source Voltage (VAM):12V
Analog Source Impedance (RS):100
Channel Switch Resistance (RSW):500
Sampling Switch Resistance (RAD):200

Supposing to design the filter with the pole exactly at the maximum frequency of the
signal, the time constant of the filter is:
Equation 10
1
R C C F = ------------ = 15.9s
2f0
2.
Using the relation between CF and CS and taking some margin (4000 instead of 2048),
it is possible to define CF:
Equation 11
C F = 4000 C
S = 16nF
3.
As a consequence of step 1 and 2, RC can be chosen:
Equation 12
1
RF = --------------------- = 995 1k
2f 0 C F
4.
Considering the current injection limitation and supposing that the source can go up to
12V, the total series resistance can be defined as:
Equation 13
V AM
R S + R F + R L = ------------- = 4k
I INJ
from which is now simple to define the value of RL:

Now the three element of the external circuit RF, CF and RL are defined. Some
conditions discussed in the previous paragraphs have been used to size the
component, the other must now be verified. The relation which allow to minimize the
accuracy error introduced by the switched capacitance equivalent resistance is in this
case:
Equation 15

R EQ = --------------- = 10M

So the error due to the voltage partitioning between the real resistive path and CS is less
then half a count (considering the worst case when VA = 5V):

The other conditions to be verified is the time constants of the transients are really and
significantly shorter than the sampling period duration TS:

10 2 = 10 R L( C S + C P1 + C P2 ) = 290ns

Definition of internal timing

The internal operation of the ST10F272 is controlled by the internal CPU clock fCPU. Both
edges of the CPU clock can trigger internal (for example pipeline) or external (for example
bus cycles) operations.
The specification of the external timing (AC Characteristics) therefore depends on the time
between two consecutive edges of the CPU clock, called TCL.
The CPU clock signal can be generated by different mechanisms. The duration of TCL and
its variation (and also the derived external timing) depends on the mechanism used to
generate fCPU.
This influence must be regarded when calculating the timings for the ST10F272.
The example for PLL operation shown in Figure 44 refers to a PLL factor of 4.

1. The external clock input range refers to a CPU clock range of 1...64 MHz. Besides, the PLL usage is limited
to 4-8MHz. All configurations need a crystal (or ceramic resonator) to generate the CPU clock through the
internal oscillator amplifier (apart from Direct Drive): vice versa, the clock can be forced through an external
clock source only in Direct Drive mode (on-chip oscillator amplifier disabled, so no crystal or resonator can
be used).
2. The maximum depends on the duty cycle of the external clock signal: when 64MHz is used, 50% duty cycle
shall be granted (low phase = high phase = 7.8ns); when 32MHz is selected a 25% duty cycle can be

accepted (minimum phase, high or low, again equal to 7.8ns).

3. The limits on input frequency are 4-8MHz since the usage of the internal oscillator amplifier is required.
Also when the PLL is not used and the CPU clock corresponds to FXTAL/2, an external crystal or resonator
shall be used: it is not possible to force any clock though an external clock source.

Prescaler operation
When pins P0.15-13 (P0H.7-5) equal 001 during reset, the CPU clock is derived from the
internal oscillator (input clock signal) by a 2:1 prescaler.
The frequency of fCPU is half the frequency of fXTAL and the high and low time of fCPU (i.e.
the duration of an individual TCL) is defined by the period of the input clock fXTAL.
The timings listed in the AC Characteristics that refer to TCL therefore can be calculated
using the period of fXTAL for any TCL.
Note that if the bit OWDDIS in SYSCON register is cleared, the PLL runs on its free-running
frequency and delivers the clock signal for the Oscillator Watchdog. If bit OWDDIS is set,
then the PLL is switched off.
24.8.5
Direct drive
When pins P0.15-13 (P0H.7-5) equal 011 during reset the on-chip phase locked loop is
disabled, the on-chip oscillator amplifier is bypassed and the CPU clock is directly driven by
the input clock signal on XTAL1 pin.
The frequency of CPU clock (fCPU) directly follows the frequency of fXTAL so the high and
low time of fCPU (i.e. the duration of an individual TCL) is defined by the duty cycle of the
input clock fXTAL.
Therefore, the timings given in this chapter refer to the minimum TCL. This minimum value
can be calculated by the following formula:
Equation 18
TCL min = 1 f XTALl xlDC min
DC = duty cycle
For two consecutive TCLs, the deviation caused by the duty cycle of fXTAL is compensated,
so the duration of 2TCL is always 1/fXTAL.
The minimum value TCLmin has to be used only once for timings that require an odd number
of TCLs (1,3,...). Timings that require an even number of TCLs (2,4,...) may use the formula:
Equation 19
2TCL = 1 fXTAL
The address float timings in Multiplexed bus mode (t11 and t45) use the maximum duration
of TCL (TCLmax = 1/fXTAL x DCmax) instead of TCLmin.
Similarly to what happen for Prescaler Operation, if the bit OWDDIS in SYSCON register is
cleared, the PLL runs on its free-running frequency and delivers the clock signal for the
Oscillator Watchdog. If bit OWDDIS is set, then the PLL is switched off.
24.8.6
Oscillator watchdog (OWD)

An on-chip watchdog oscillator is implemented in the ST10F272. This feature is used for
safety operation with external crystal oscillator (available only when using direct drive mode
with or without prescaler, so the PLL is not used to generate the CPU clock multiplying the
frequency of the external crystal oscillator). This watchdog oscillator operates as following.
154/188
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
The reset default configuration enables the watchdog oscillator. It can be disabled by setting
the OWDDIS (bit 4) of SYSCON register.
When the OWD is enabled, the PLL runs at its free-running frequency, and it increments the
watchdog counter. On each transition of external clock, the watchdog counter is cleared. If
an external clock failure occurs, then the watchdog counter overflows (after 16 PLL clock
cycles).
The CPU clock signal will be switched to the PLL free-running clock signal, and the
oscillator watchdog Interrupt Request is flagged. The CPU clock will not switch back to the
external clock even if a valid external clock exits on XTAL1 pin. Only a hardware reset (or
bidirectional Software / Watchdog reset) can switch the CPU clock source back to direct
clock input.
When the OWD is disabled, the CPU clock is always the external oscillator clock (in Direct
Drive or Prescaler Operation) and the PLL is switched off to decrease consumption supply
current.
24.8.7
Phase Locked Loop (PLL)

For all other combinations of pins P0.15-13 (P0H.7-5) during reset the on-chip phase locked
loop is enabled and it provides the CPU clock (see Table 69). The PLL multiplies the input
frequency by the factor F which is selected via the combination of pins P0.15-13 (fCPU =
fXTAL x F). With every Fth transition of fXTAL the PLL circuit synchronizes the CPU clock to
the input clock. This synchronization is done smoothly, so the CPU clock frequency does not
change abruptly.
Due to this adaptation to the input clock the frequency of fCPU is constantly adjusted so it is
locked to fXTAL. The slight variation causes a jitter of fCPU which also effects the duration of
individual TCLs.
The timings listed in the AC Characteristics that refer to TCLs therefore must be calculated
using the minimum TCL that is possible under the respective circumstances.
The real minimum value for TCL depends on the jitter of the PLL. The PLL tunes fCPU to
keep it locked on fXTAL. The relative deviation of TCL is the maximum when it is referred to
one TCL period.
This is especially important for bus cycles using wait states and e.g. for the operation of
timers, serial interfaces, etc. For all slower operations and longer periods (e.g. pulse train
generation or measurement, lower Baud rates, etc.) the deviation caused by the PLL jitter is
negligible. Refer to next Section 24.8.9: PLL Jitter for more details.
24.8.8
Voltage Controlled Oscillator

The ST10F272 implements a PLL which combines different levels of frequency dividers with
a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) working as frequency multiplier. In Table 70, a
detailed summary of the internal settings and VCO frequency is reported.

The PLL input frequency range is limited to 1 to 3.5MHz, while the VCO oscillation range is

PLL Jitter
The following terminology is hereafter defined:
156/188
Self referred single period jitter

Also called Period Jitter, it can be defined as the difference of the Tmax and Tmin,
where Tmax is maximum time period of the PLL output clock and Tmin is the minimum
time period of the PLL output clock.
Self referred long term jitter

Also called N period jitter, it can be defined as the difference of Tmax and Tmin, where
Tmax is the maximum time difference between N+1 clock rising edges and Tmin is the
minimum time difference between N+1 clock rising edges. Here N should be kept
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
sufficiently large to have the long term jitter. For N=1, this becomes the single period
jitter.
Jitter at the PLL output can be due to the following reasons:
Jitter in the input clock
Noise in the PLL loop.
Jitter in the input clock

PLL acts like a low pass filter for any jitter in the input clock. Input Clock jitter with the
frequencies within the PLL loop bandwidth is passed to the PLL output and higher frequency
jitter (frequency > PLL bandwidth) is attenuated @20dB/decade.
Noise in the PLL loop

This contribution again can be caused by the following sources:
Device noise of the circuit in the PLL
Noise in supply and substrate.
Device noise of the circuit in the PLL

The long term jitter is inversely proportional to the bandwidth of the PLL: the wider is the
loop bandwidth, the lower is the jitter due to noise in the loop. Besides, the long term jitter is
practically independent on the multiplication factor.
The most noise sensitive circuit in the PLL circuit is definitively the VCO (Voltage Controlled
Oscillator). There are two main sources of noise: thermal (random noise, frequency
independent so practically white noise) and flicker (low frequency noise, 1/f). For the
frequency characteristics of the VCO circuitry, the effect of the thermal noise results in a 1/f2
region in the output noise spectrum, while the flicker noise in a 1/f3. Assuming a noiseless
PLL input and supposing that the VCO is dominated by its 1/f2 noise, the R.M.S. value of the
accumulated jitter is proportional to the square root of N, where N is the number of clock
periods within the considered time interval.
On the contrary, assuming again a noiseless PLL input and supposing that the VCO is
dominated by its 1/f3 noise, the R.M.S. value of the accumulated jitter is proportional to N,
where N is the number of clock periods within the considered time interval.
The jitter in the PLL loop can be modelized as dominated by the i1/f2 noise for N smaller
than a certain value depending on the PLL output frequency and on the bandwidth
characteristics of loop. Above this first value, the jitter becomes dominated by the i1/f3 noise
component. Lastly, for N greater than a second value of N, a saturation effect is evident, so
the jitter does not grow anymore when considering a longer time interval (jitter stable
increasing the number of clock periods N). The PLL loop acts as a high pass filter for any
noise in the loop, with cutoff frequency equal to the bandwidth of the PLL. The saturation
value corresponds to what has been called self referred long term jitter of the PLL. In
Figure 45 the maximum jitter trend versus the number of clock periods N (for some typical
CPU frequencies) is reported: the curves represent the very worst case, computed taking
into account all corners of temperature, power supply and process variations: the real jitter
is always measured well below the given worst case values.
Noise in supply and substrate

Digital supply noise adds deterministic components to the PLL output jitter, independent on
multiplication factor. Its effects is strongly reduced thanks to particular care used in the
physical implementation and integration of the PLL module inside the device. Anyhow, the
Doc ID 11917 Rev 5
157/188
ST10F272B/ST10F272E
contribution of the digital noise to the global jitter is widely taken into account in the curves
provided in Figure 45.

PLL lock / unlock

During normal operation, if the PLL gets unlocked for any reason, an interrupt request to the
CPU is generated, and the reference clock (oscillator) is automatically disconnected from
the PLL input: in this way, the PLL goes into free-running mode, providing the system with a
backup clock signal (free running frequency Ffree). This feature allows to recover from a
crystal failure occurrence without risking to go in an undefined configuration: the system is
provided with a clock allowing the execution of the PLL unlock interrupt routine in a safe
mode.
The path between reference clock and PLL input can be restored only by a hardware reset,
or by a bidirectional software or watchdog reset event that forces the RSTIN pin low.
Note:
158/188
The external RC circuit on RSTIN pin shall be properly sized in order to extend the duration
of the low pulse to grant the PLL gets locked before the level at RSTIN pin is recognized
high: bidirectional reset internally drives RSTIN pin low for just 1024 TCL (definitively not
sufficient to get the PLL locked starting from free-running mode).

Warning:
24.8.13
Direct driving on XTAL3 pin is not supported. Always use a

32kHz crystal oscillator.
External clock drive XTAL1

When Direct Drive configuration is selected during reset, it is possible to drive the CPU
clock directly from the XTAL1 pin, without particular restrictions on the maximum frequency,
since the on-chip oscillator amplifier is bypassed. The speed limit is imposed by internal
logic that targets a maximum CPU frequency of 64MHz.
In all other clock configurations (Direct Drive with Prescaler or PLL usage) the on-chip
oscillator amplifier is not bypassed, so it determines the input clock speed limit. Then, when
the on-chip oscillator is enabled it is forbidden to use any external clock source different
from crystal or ceramic resonator.

1. The minimum value for the XTAL1 signal period shall be considered as the theoretical minimum. The real
minimum value depends on the duty cycle of the input clock signal.
2. 4-8 MHz is the input frequency range when using an external clock source. 64 MHz can be applied with an
external clock source only when Direct Drive mode is selected: in this case, the oscillator amplifier is
bypassed so it does not limit the input frequency.

The following sections include the External Memory Bus timings. The given values are

Obviously, when higher CPU clock frequency is used (up to 64MHz), some numbers in the
timing formulas become zero or negative which, in most cases is not acceptable or not

1. RW-delay and tA refer to the next following bus cycle.

2. Read data are latched with the same clock edge that triggers the address change and the rising RD edge.
Therefore address changes before the end of RD have no impact on read cycles.
3. Partially tested, guaranteed by design characterization.

1. These timings are given for characterization purposes only, in order to assure recognition at a specific
clock edge.
2. Demultiplexed bus is the worst case. For multiplexed bus 2TCL are to be added to the maximum values.
This adds even more time for deactivating READY. 2tA and tC refer to the next following bus cycle, tF refers
to the current bus cycle.

1. Cycle as programmed, including MCTC wait states (Example shows 0 MCTC WS).
2. The leading edge of the respective command depends on RW-delay.
3. READY sampled HIGH at this sampling point generates a READY controlled wait state, READY sampled
LOW at this sampling point terminates the currently running bus cycle.
4. READY may be deactivated in response to the trailing (rising) edge of the corresponding command (RD or
WR).
5. If the Asynchronous READY signal does not fulfill the indicated setup and hold times with respect to
CLKOUT (e.g. because CLKOUT is not enabled), it must fulfill t37 in order to be safely synchronized. This is
guaranteed, if READY is removed in response to the command (see Note 4).
6. Multiplexed bus modes have a MUX wait state added after a bus cycle, and an additional MTTC wait state
may be inserted here.
For a multiplexed bus with MTTC wait state this delay is two CLKOUT cycles, for a demultiplexed bus
without MTTC wait state this delay is zero.
7. The next external bus cycle may start here.
