1 Microprocessor/Microcontroller Introduction

2 Microprocessor/Microcontroller microprocessor - also known as a CU or central processing unit - is a complete computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in The 4004 was not very powerful - all it could do was add and subtract, and it could only do that 4 bits at a time. But it was amazing that everything was on one chip. rior to the 4004, engineers built computers either from collections of chips or from discrete components (Transistors and such). The 4004 powered one of the first portable electronic calculators. (excerpts from How Microprocessors Work by Marshall Brain)

3 Microprocessor/Microcontroller The first microprocessor to make it into a home computer was the Intel 8080, a complete 8-bit computer on one chip, introduced in The first microprocessor to make a real splash in the market was the Intel 8088, introduced in 1979 and incorporated into the IBM C (which first appeared around 1982). If you are familiar with the C market and its history, you know that the C market moved from the 8088 to the to the to the to the entium to the entium II to the entium III to the entium 4. ll of these microprocessors are made by Intel and all of them are improvements on the basic design of the The entium 4 can execute any piece of code that ran on the original 8088, but it does it about 5,000 times faster!

5 Microprocessor/Microcontroller This is about as simple as a microprocessor gets. This microprocessor has: n address bus (that may be 8, 16 or 32 bits wide) that sends an address to memory data bus (that may be 8, 16 or 32 bits wide) that can send data to memory or receive data from memory n RD (read) and WR (write) line to tell the memory whether it wants to set or get the addressed location clock line that lets a clock pulse sequence the processor reset line that resets the program counter to zero (or whatever) and restarts execution Let's assume that both the address and data buses are 8 bits wide in this example.

6 Microprocessor/Microcontroller Here are the components of this simple microprocessor: Registers, B and C are simply latches made out of flip-flops. The address latch is just like registers, B and C. The program counter is a latch with the extra ability to increment by 1 when told to do so, and also to reset to zero when told to do so.

7 Microprocessor/Microcontroller Microprocessor Instructions Even the incredibly simple microprocessor shown in the previous example will have a fairly large set of instructions that it can perform. The collection of instructions is implemented as bit patterns, each one of which has a different meaning when loaded into the instruction register. Humans are not particularly good at remembering bit patterns, so a set of short words are defined to represent the different bit patterns. This collection of words is called the assembly language of the processor. n assembler can translate the words into their bit patterns very easily, and then the output of the assembler is placed in memory for the microprocessor to execute.

8 Microprocessor/Microcontroller Here's the set of assembly language instructions that the designer might create for the simple microprocessor in our example: LOD mem - Load register from memory address LODB mem - Load register B from memory address CONB con - Load a constant value into register B SVEB mem - Save register B to memory address SVEC mem - Save register C to memory address DD - dd and B and store the result in C SUB - Subtract and B and store the result in C MUL - Multiply and B and store the result in C DIV - Divide and B and store the result in C

9 Microprocessor/Microcontroller COM - Compare and B and store the result in test JUM addr - Jump to an address JEQ addr - Jump, if equal, to address JNEQ addr - Jump, if not equal, to address JG addr - Jump, if greater than, to address JGE addr - Jump, if greater than or equal, to address JL addr - Jump, if less than, to address JLE addr - Jump, if less than or equal, to address STO - Stop execution

10 Microprocessor/Microcontroller n opcode (operation code) is the portion of a machine language instruction that specifies the operation to be performed. Their specification and format are laid out in the instruction set architecture of the processor in question (which may be a general CU or a more specialized processing unit). part from the opcode itself, an instruction normally also has one or more specifiers for operands (i.e. data) on which the operation should act, although some operations may have implicit operands, or none at all.

11 Microprocessor/Microcontroller ssembly language, or just assembly, is a lowlevel programming language, which uses mnemonics, instructions and operands to represent machine code. This enhances the readability while still giving precise control over the machine instructions.

17 Immediate mode The actual operand is contained in the byte or bytes immediately following the instruction opcode LD #22 DD LDD #1000 Note that the (#) is a critical assembler directive! Microprocessor/Microcontroller

18 Direct mode one-byte value is used as the address of a memory operand (located in on-chip SRM) DD $10 SUB $20 LDD $30 Extended mode two-byte value is used as the address of a memory operand LD $1000 LDX $1000 DDD $1030 Indexed mode The sum of one of the index registers and an 8-bit value is used as the address of a memory operand DD 10,X LD 3,Y

19 Inherent mode - Operands are implied by the instruction - No address information is needed B INCB INX Relative mode - Used in branch instructions to specify the branch target - Specified using either a 16-bit value or a label (preferred)... BEQ there DD #10... there DECB

26 Microprocessor/Microcontroller The 68HC11 Instruction Execution Cycle - erform a sequence of read cycles to fetch instruction opcode byte and address information. - Optionally perform read cycle(s) required to fetch the memory operand. - erform the operation specified by the opcode. - Optionally write back the result to a register or a memory location. - Consider the following 3 instructions ssembly instruction Memory location Opcode LD $2000 $C000 B D $3000 $C003 BB ST $2000 $C006 B

27 Instruction LD $2000 Step 1. lace the value in C on the address bus with a request to read the contents of that location. Step 2. The opcode byte $B6 at $C000 is returned to the CU and C is incremented by 1. ddress bus $C000 Memory contents $B6 ddres s $C000 CU $20 $00 $BB $30 $00 $C001 $C002 $C003 $C004 $C005 $B6 Data bus $B7 $20 $00 $C006 $C007 $C008 Before fter $C000 $C001 C C Figure 1.10 Ins truction 1--Opcode read cycle
