ST92186B - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The ST92186B family brings the enhanced ST9
register-based architecture to a new range of high-
performance microcontrollers specifically de-
signed for TV applications. Their performance de-
rives from the use of a flexible 256-register pro-
gramming model for ultra-fast context switching
and real-time event response. The intelligent on-
chip peripherals offload the ST9 core from I/O and
data management processing tasks allowing criti-
cal application tasks to get the maximum use of
core resources. The ST9 MCU devices support
low power consumption and low voltage operation
for power-efficient and low-cost embedded sys-
tems.

1.1.1 Core Architecture

The nucleus of the ST92186B is the enhanced
ST9 Core that includes the Central Processing
Unit (CPU), the register file and the interrupt con-
troller.

Three independent buses are controlled by the
Core: a 16-bit memory bus, an 8-bit register ad-
dressing bus and a 6-bit interrupt bus which con-
nects the interrupt controller in the on-chip periph-
erals with the core.

This multiple bus architecture makes the ST9 fam-
ily devices highly efficient for accessing on and
off-chip memory and fast exchange of data with
the on-chip peripherals.

The general-purpose registers can be used as ac-
cumulators, index registers, or address pointers.
Adjacent register pairs make up 16-bit registers for
addressing or 16-bit processing. Although the ST9
has an 8-bit ALU, the chip handles 16-bit opera-
tions, including arithmetic, loads/stores, and mem-
ory/register and memory/memory exchanges.
Many opcodes specify byte or word operations,
the hardware automatically handles 16-bit opera-
tions and accesses.

For interrupts or subroutine calls, the CPU uses a
system stack in conjunction with the stack pointer
(SP). A separate user stack has its own SP. The
separate stacks, without size limitations, can be in
on-chip RAM (or in Register File) or off-chip mem-
ory.

1.1.2 Instruction Set

The ST9 instruction set consists of 94 instruction
types, including instructions for bit handling, byte
(8-bit) and word (16-bit) data, as well as BCD and
Boolean formats. Instructions have been added to
facilitate large program and data handling through
the MMU, as well as to improve the performance
and code density of C Function calls. 14 address-
ing modes are available, including powerful indi-
rect addressing capabilities.

The ST9's bit-manipulation instructions are set,
clear, complement, test and set, load, and various
logic instructions (AND, OR, and XOR). Math func-
tions include add, subtract, increment, decrement,
decimal adjust, multiply, and divide.

1.1.3 Operating Modes

To optimize performance versus the power con-
sumption of the device, ST9 devices now support
a range of operating modes that can be dynami-
cally selected depending on the performance and
functionality requirements of the application at a
given moment.

Run Mode. This is the full speed execution mode
with CPU and peripherals running at the maximum
clock speed delivered by the Phase Locked Loop
(PLL) of the Clock Control Unit (CCU).

Slow Mode. Power consumption can be signifi-
cantly reduced by running the CPU and the periph-
erals at reduced clock speed using the CPU Pres-
caler and CCU Clock Divider.

Wait For Interrupt Mode. The Wait For Interrupt
(WFI) instruction suspends program execution un-
til an interrupt request is acknowledged. During
WFI, the CPU clock is halted while the peripheral
and interrupt controller keep running at a frequen-
cy programmable via the CCU. In this mode, the
power consumption of the device can be reduced
by more than 95% (LP WFI).

Halt Mode. When executing the HALT instruction,
and if the Watchdog is not enabled, the CPU and
its peripherals stop operating and the status of the
machine remains frozen (the clock is also
stopped). A reset is necessary to exit from Halt
mode.
