S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9 MICROCONTROLLER iii
Preface
The S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9
Microcontroller User's Manual
is designed for application designers and
programmers who are using the S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9 microcontroller for application development. It is
organized in two main parts:
Part I Programming Model
Part II Hardware Descriptions
Part I contains software-related information to familiarize you with the microcontroller's architecture, programming
model, instruction set, and interrupt structure. It has six chapters:
Chapter 1
Product Overview
Chapter 2
Address Spaces
Chapter 3
Addressing Modes
Chapter 4
Control Registers
Chapter 5
Interrupt Structure
Chapter 6
Instruction Set
Chapter 1, "Product Overview," is a high-level introduction to S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9
with general product
descriptions, as well as detailed information about individual pin characteristics and pin circuit types.
Chapter 2, "Address Spaces," describes program and data memory spaces, the internal register file, and register
addressing. Chapter 2 also describes working register addressing, as well as system stack and user-defined
stack operations.
Chapter 3, "Addressing Modes," contains detailed descriptions of the addressing modes that are supported by the
S3C8-series CPU.
Chapter 4, "Control Registers," contains overview tables for all mapped system and peripheral control register
values, as well as detailed one-page descriptions in a standardized format. You can use these easy-to-read,
alphabetically organized, register descriptions as a quick-reference source when writing programs.
Chapter 5, "Interrupt Structure," describes the S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9
interrupt structure in detail and further
prepares you for additional information presented in the individual hardware module descriptions in Part II.
Chapter 6, "Instruction Set," describes the features and conventions of the instruction set used for all S3C8-series
microcontrollers. Several summary tables are presented for orientation and reference. Detailed descriptions of
each instruction are presented in a standard format. Each instruction description includes one or more practical
examples of how to use the instruction when writing an application program.
A basic familiarity with the information in Part I will help you to understand the hardware module descriptions in
Part II. If you are not yet familiar with the S3C8-series microcontroller family and are reading this manual for the
first time, we recommend that you first read Chapters 1–3 carefully. Then, briefly look over the detailed
information in Chapters 4, 5, and 6. Later, you can reference the information in Part I as necessary.
Part II "hardware Descriptions," has detailed information about specific hardware components of the
S3C84I8/F84I8/C84I9/F84I9
microcontroller. Also included in Part II are electrical, mechanical, OTP, and
development tools data. It has 17 chapters:
