Circuit ground
Port 0 Port 0 is an 8-bit open drain bidirectional I O
port As an output port each pin can sink several
inputs Port 0 pins that have 1’s written to them float
and in that state can be used as high-impedance
inputs
Port 0 is also the multiplexed low-order address and
data bus during accesses to external Program and
Data Memory In this application it uses strong inter-
nal pullups when emitting 1’s and can source and
sink several inputs
Port 0 also receives the code bytes during OTP
ROM programming and outputs the code bytes dur-
ing program verification External pullup resistors are
required during program verification
Port 1 Port 1 is an 8-bit bidirectional I O port with
internal pullups The Port 1 output buffers can drive
several inputs Port 1 pins that have 1’s written to
them are pulled high by the internal pullups and in
that state can be used as inputs As inputs Port 1
pins that are externally pulled low will source current
(I
IL
on the data sheet) because of the internal pull-
ups
In addition Port 1 serves the functions of the follow-
ing special features of the 8XL51FX

ALE Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching
the low byte of the address during accesses to ex-
ternal memory This pin (ALE PROG) is also the
program pulse input during OTP ROM programming
for the 87L51FX
In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant
rate of
the oscillator frequency and may be used
for external timing or clocking purposes Note how-
ever that one ALE pulse is skipped during each ac-
cess to external Data Memory
If desired ALE operation can be disabled by setting
bit 0 of SFR location 8EH With this bit set the pin is
weakly pulled high However the ALE disable fea-
ture will be suspended during a MOVX or MOVC in-
struction idle mode power down mode and ICE
mode The ALE disable feature will be terminated by
reset When the ALE disable feature is suspended or
terminated the ALE pin will no longer be pulled up
weakly Setting the ALE-disable bit has no affect if
the microcontroller is in external execution mode
Throughout the remainder of this data sheet ALE
will refer to the signal coming out of the ALE PROG
pin and the pin will be referred to as the ALE PROG
pin
PSEN Program Store Enable is the read strobe to
external Program Memory
When the 8XL51FX is executing code from external
Program Memory PSEN is activated twice each ma-
chine cycle except that two PSEN activations are
skipped during each access to external Data Memo-

XTAL1 Input to the inverting oscillator amplifier
XTAL2 Output from the inverting oscillator amplifier
OSCILLATOR CHARACTERISTICS
XTAL1 and XTAL2 are the input and output respec-
tively of a inverting amplifier which can be config-
ured for use as an on-chip oscillator as shown in
Figure 3 Either a quartz crystal or ceramic resonator
may be used More detailed information concerning
the use of the on-chip oscillator is available in Appli-
cation Note AP-155 ‘‘Oscillators for Microcontrol-
lers ’’
To drive the device from an external clock source
XTAL1 should be driven while XTAL2 floats as
shown in Figure 4 There are no requirements on the
duty cycle of the external clock signal since the in-
put to the internal clocking circuitry is through a di-
vide-by-two flip-flop but minimum and maximum
high and low times specified on the data sheet must
be observed
An external oscillator may encounter as much as a
100 pF load at XTAL1 when it starts up This is due
to interaction between the amplifier and its feedback
capacitance Once the external signal meets the V
IL
and V
IH
specifications the capacitance will not ex-
ceed 20 pF

IDLE MODE
The user’s software can invoke the Idle Mode When
the microcontroller is in this mode power consump-
tion is reduced The Special Function Registers and
the onboard RAM retain their values during Idle but
the processor stops executing instructions
Idle
Mode will be exited if the chip is reset or if an en-
abled interrupt occurs The PCA timer counter can
optionally be left running or paused during Idle
Mode

background image
8XL51FA FB FC
POWER DOWN MODE
To save even more power a Power Down mode can
be invoked by software In this mode the oscillator
is stopped and the instruction that invoked Power
Down is the last instruction executed The on-chip
RAM and Special Function Registers retain their val-
ues until the Power Down mode is terminated
On the 8XL51FX either hardware reset or external
interrupt can cause an exit from Power Down Reset
redefines all the SFRs but does not change the on-
chip RAM An external interrupt allows both the
SFRs and the on-chip RAM to retain their values
To properly terminate Power Down the reset or ex-
ternal interrupt should not be executed before V
CC
is
restored to its normal operating level and must be
held active long enough for the oscillator to restart
and stabilize (normally less than 10 ms)
With an external interrupt INT0 or INT1 must be en-
abled and configured as level-sensitive Holding the
pin low restarts the oscillator but bringing the pin
back high completes the exit Once the interrupt is
serviced the next instruction to be executed after
RETI will be the one following the instruction that put
the device into Power Down
DESIGN CONSIDERATION

The 8XL51FX will operate from 2 7V to 3 6V with
a frequency range of 3 5 MHz to 16 MHz (Ex-
press) 20 MHz (Commercial) Operating beyond
these specifications could cause improper device
functionality

All V
CC
and V
SS
pins must be connected Please
refer to Figure 2 Pin Connections for the specific
pins

When the idle mode is terminated by a hardware
reset the device normally resumes program exe-
cution from where it left off up to two machine
cycles before the internal reset algorithm takes
control On-chip hardware inhibits access to inter-
nal RAM in this event but access to the port pins
is not inhibited To eliminate the possibility of an
unexpected write when Idle is terminated by re-
set the instruction following the one that invokes
Idle should not be one that writes to a port pin or
to external memory
ONCE MODE
The ONCE (‘‘On-Circuit Emulation’’) Mode facilitates
testing
and
debugging
of
systems
using
the
8XL51FX without the 8XL51FX having to be re-
moved from the circuit The ONCE Mode is invoked
by
1) Pull ALE low while the device is in reset and
PSEN is high
2) Hold ALE low as RST is deactivated
While the device is in ONCE Mode the Port 0 pins
float and the other port pins and ALE and PSEN are
weakly pulled high The oscillator circuit remains ac-
tive While the 8XL51FX is in this mode an emulator
or test CPU can be used to drive the circuit Normal
operation is restored when a normal reset is applied

8XL51FX EXPRESS
The Intel EXPRESS system offers enhancements to
the operational specifications of the MCS-51 family
of microcontrollers These EXPRESS products are
designed to meet the needs of those applications
whose operating requirements exceed commercial
standards
The EXPRESS program includes the commercial
standard temperature range with burn-in and an ex-
tended temperature range with or without burn-in
With the commercial standard temperature range
operational characteristics are guaranteed over the
temperature range of 0 C to 70 C With the extend-
ed temperature range option operational character-
istics are guaranteed over the range of b40 C to
a
85 C
Package types and EXPRESS versions are identified
by a one- or two-letter prefix to the part number The
prefixes are listed in Table 2
For the extended temperature range option this
data sheet specifies the parameters which deviate
from their commercial temperature range limits

NOTES
1 Capacitive loading on Ports 0 and 2 may cause noise pulses above 0 4V to be superimposed on the V
OL
s of ALE and
Ports 1 2 and 3 The noise is due to external bus capacitance discharging into the Port 0 and Port 2 pins when these pins
change from 1 to 0 In applications where capacitance loading exceeds 100 pF the noise pulses on these signals may
exceed 0 8V It may be desirable to qualify ALE or other signals with a Schmitt Trigger or CMOS-level input logic
2 Capacitive loading on Ports 0 and 2 cause the V
OH
on ALE and PSEN to drop below the 0 9 V
