ting PE without programming the EEPROM. After

the ROW address latching the Core can “see” just

one EEPROM row (the selected one) and any at-

tempt to write or read other rows will produce er-

rors. Do not read the EEPROM while PE is set.

As soon as PE bit is set, the 8 volatile ROW latches

are cleared. From this moment the user can load

data in the whole ROW or just in a subset. PS set-

ting will modify the EEPROM registers correspond-

ing to the ROW latches accessed after PE. For

example, if the software sets PE and accesses

EEPROM in writing at addresses 18H,1AH,1BH and

then sets PS, thesethree registers will be modified at

the same time; the remaining bytes will have no par-

ticular content. Note that PE is internally reset at the

end of the programming procedure. This implies that

the user must set PE bit between two parallel pro-

gramming procedures. Anyway the user can set and

then reset PE without performing any EEPROM pro-

gramming. PS is a set only bit and is internally reset

at the end of the programming procedure. Note that

if the user tries to set PS while PE is not set there will

not be any programming procedure and the PS bit

will be unaffected. Consequently PS bit can not be

set if EN is low. PS can be affected by the user set if,

and only if, EN and PE bits are also set to one.

INTERRUPT

The ST6369 Core can manage 4 different mask-

able interrupt sources, plus one non-maskable in-

terrupt source (top priority level interrupt). Each

source is associated with a particular interrupt vec-

tor that contains a Jump instruction to the related

interrupt service routine. Each vector is located in

the Program Space at a particular address (see

Table 6). When a source provides an interrupt re-

quest, and the request processing is also enabled

by the ST6369 Core, then the PC register is loaded

with the address of the interrupt vector (i.e. of the

Jump instruction). Finally, the PC is loaded with the

address of the Jump instruction and the interrupt

routine is processed.

The relationship between vector and source and

the associated priority is hardware fixed for the dif-

ferent ST638x devices. For some interrupt sources

it is also possible to select by software the kind of

event that will generate the interrupt.

All interrupts can be disabled by writing to the GEN

bit (global interrupt enable) of the interrupt option

non maskable interrupt mode, so no interrupts will

be accepted and NMI flags will be used, until a

RETI instruction is executed. If an interrupt is exe-

cuted, one special cycle is made by the core, dur-

ing that the PC is set to the related interrupt vector

address. A jump instruction at this address has to

redirect program execution to the beginning of the

related interrupt routine. The interrupt detecting cy-

cle, also resets the related interrupt flag (not avail-

able to the user), so that another interrupt can be

stored for this current vector, while its driver is un-

der execution.

If additional interrupts arrive from the same source,

they will be lost. NMI can interrupt other interrupt

routines at any time, while other interrupts cannot

interrupt each other. If more than one interrupt is

waiting for service, they are executed according to

their priority. The lower the number, the higher the

priority. Priority is, therefore, fixed. Interrupts are

checked during the last cycle of an instruction

(RETI included). Level sensitive interrupts have to

be valid during this period.

Table 6 details the

different interrupt vec-

tors/sources relationships.

Interrupt Vectors/Sources

The ST6369 Core includes 5 different interrupt

vectors in order to branch to 5 different interrupt

routines. The interrupt vectors are located in the

fixed (or static) page of the Program Space.
