System Architecture

A key factor in the high-performance features of the range of microcontrollers is attributed to their
internal system architecture. The device takes advantage of the usual features found within RISC
microcontrollers providing increased speed of operation and enhanced performance. The pipelining
scheme is implemented in such a way that instruction fetching and instruction execution are
overlapped, hence instructions are effectively executed in one or two cycles for most of the standard
or extended instructions respectively. The exceptions to this are branch or call instructions which need
one more cycle. An 8-bit wide ALU is used in practically all instruction set operations, which carries
out arithmetic operations, logic operations, rotation, increment, decrement, branch decisions, etc.
The internal data path is simplified by moving data through the Accumulator and the ALU. Certain
internal registers are implemented in the Data Memory and can be directly or indirectly addressed.
The simple addressing methods of these registers along with additional architectural features ensure
that a minimum of external components is required to provide a functional I/O and A/D control
system with maximum reliability and flexibility. This makes the device suitable for low-cost,
high-volume production for controller applications.

Clocking and Pipelining

The main system clock, derived from either a HIRC, LIRC or LXT oscillator is subdivided into four
internally generated non-overlapping clocks, T1~T4. The Program Counter is incremented at the
beginning of the T1 clock during which time a new instruction is fetched. The remaining T2~T4
clocks carry out the decoding and execution functions. In this way, one T1~T4 clock cycle forms
one instruction cycle. Although the fetching and execution of instructions takes place in consecutive
instruction cycles, the pipelining structure of the microcontroller ensures that instructions are
effectively executed in one instruction cycle. The exception to this are instructions where the
contents of the Program Counter are changed, such as subroutine calls or jumps, in which case the
instruction will take one more instruction cycle to execute.
