Princeton) Program Memory (ROM) External Internal Data Memory (RAM) Direct Indirect SFR’s Instruction Execution Cycle Risc/Accumulator Microcode Structure of an Assembly Language Program Bidirectional I/O Ports Timers/Counters Modes Serial I/O Port Interrupt Controller

CSE Fall Introduction - 3 Analysis Bottleneck into and out of memory for data and code Use of critical 8-bit address space (256) for memory mapped I/O and special function registers (timers and their controllers, interrupt controllers, serial port buffers, stack pointers, PC, etc). For example, the Motorola 6805 processor has only 187 RAM locations. But, easy to program and debug. Compiler is simple too.

CSE Fall Introduction Memory Architecture Advantages Simultaneous access to Program and Data store Register banks great for avoiding context switching on interrupt and for code compression 8-bit address space extended to = 384 registers by distinguishing between direct and indirect addressing for upper 128 bytes. Good for code compression Bit addressable great for managing status flags Disadvantage A little bit confusing, with potential for errors.
CSE Fall Introduction - 6 Instruction Execution 6 states/machine cycle, 2 clocks/state = 12 clocks/machine cycle. Some instructions take two machine cycles, most take one. Can make two ROM accesses in on memory cycle? (three byte inst) More like CISC than RISC Interesting features No Zero flag (test accumulator instead) Bit operations Read Modify Write operations (ports) Register to Register Moves Integer arithmetic Signed arithmetic Byte and Register Exchange operations

CSE Fall Introduction - 8 Anatomy of an Assembly Program unsigned int i; void main (void) { unsigned int tmp; while (1) { P1^= 0x01; i = 0; do { tmp = i; i += P2; } while (tmp < i); } Look for overflow in C – difficult to do Note i is global and tmp is local. What happens to local variables? How are registers used? What happens in a subroutine call?

CSE Fall Introduction - 12 Basic Electronics Speaker Interface. Design a direct drive circuit for the speakers. How much power are we dissipating in the speaker if we stay within current rating of chip? How can we get more power to the speaker? Note to self: Saturation v. Linear operation
CSE Fall Introduction - 13 Lab 2 Design and implement Audio Amplifier interface to Simple program (in assembly) that can generate a controllable range of audio frequencies (like lab1, but different range of frequencies and use interrupts instead of busy waiting). Use interrupts to generate the pulse trains Any algorithm suggestions? Lets keep it simple!! Lab write-up Characteristics of your speaker: min max tone frequency, audibility (loadness) v. frequency, etc. Anything else you notice Are your drive transistors operating in linear or saturation mode? How can you tell? Resource Utilization Analysis % of time in ISR (can you minimize this?) Worst case stack size
