Introduction

Introduction

The PMA71xx/PMA51xx Software Framework is an example how software for PMA71xx/PMA51xx can be
structured. The available software example files include inline documentation and are developed to enable an
easy software development start and fast time to market. The software example files can be downloaded from
http://www.infineon.com/PMA_tooling. The installer for the source code of the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Software
Framework is called PMA_Software_Framework_V2.x.msi. The installer is included in the download package of
the PMA Starter Kit as well as in the download package of the PMA Evaluation Kit. Furthermore more
documentation of the source code done with doxygen will be copied to the specified location by the
PMA_Software_Framework_V2.x.msi installer. The default path is PMA_Software_Framework_V2.x/html. The
documentation can be displayed with a standard browser by opening file index.html. The Software Framework has
already implemented the following functionality:

Implementation of PMA71xx/PMA51xx startup file

Wake-up and reset handling
Interval Timer usage
Watchdog Timer handling
RF-Transmission
Interrupt handling

This document describes the general file structure, specific features and the recommended program flow and is
compatible with source code revision 2.x (PMA_Software_Framework_V2.x.msi).

File structure

2.1

Header files

In the header files the interfaces to different modules are defined.

2.1.1

Reg_PMA71xx_PMA51xx.h

This is the register definition file for PMA71xx/PMA51xx. Here all Spezial Function Registers (SFRs) of
PMA71xx/PMA51xx are defined. This file has to be added to the project if direct SFR access is needed.

2.1.2

PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h

PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h is the interface to the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library. The prototypes of the
Function Library and some declarations for the RF-Transmission are defined here. This file has to be added to the
project together with PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.lib if the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library is intended to be
used.

2.1.3

Misc_Functions.h

Interface to functions Xdata_CRC_Calc() and Xdata_CRC_Check().

2.1.4

RF_Functions.h

Interface to functions RFInit() and RFTransmit().

2.2

Source files

The source files include the implementation of the start up file, the functions defined in the header files, the main()
function and the interrupt service routines.

2.2.1

STARTUP_PMA71xx_PMA51xx.A51

This file is a modified copy of the standard 8051 startup file STARTUP.A51 delivered from KEILTM. It has to be
added to the project. If not the standard STARTUP.A51 is included by the linker. If PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts up
from reset the whole idata memory 00H - FFH is initialized to 00H. The lower idata memory 00H - 7FH can be
powered during Power Down or Thermal Shutdown Mode by setting SFR bit CFG2.4 [PDLMB] to zero. If the
PMA71xx/PMA51xx wakes up from Power Down or Thermal Shutdown State bit PDLMB is checked. If the lower
idata memory is powered during Power Down or Thermal Shutdown State only the higher idata memory block 80H
- FFH, otherwise the whole idata memory 00H - FFH, is initialized to 00H.
Finally the stack pointer is initialized and a ljmp to main() is executed.

2.2.2

Misc_Functions.c

The functions Xdata_CRC_Calc() and Xdata_CRC_Check() are implemented within this file. A description of the
functionality of each function can be found below.

2.2.2.1

Xdata_CRC_Calc()

Calculates a CRC checksum over xdata content 00H - 0EH using the Library function CRC8Calculation() and stores
the CRC checksum into xdata 0FH. As the buffer passed to the Library function CRC8Calculation() must be in
memory space idata, the xdata content has to be copied into a idata buffer.

2.2.2.2

Xdata_CRC_Check()

Checks if the CRC checksum of the xdata content is valid. Therefore the CRC checksum over the whole xdata
content 00H - 0FH is calculated and must be 00H.

File structure

2.2.3

Software_Framework.c

This file includes the main() function of the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Software Framework and is executed after
STARTUP_PMA71xx_PMA51xx.A51. The xdata variables are defined here. They can be located to an absolute
position in the xdata memory using the keyword _at_, therefore the definition must be global. Additionally some
bit definitions are done to increase the readability of the code. In the main() function the wake-up bit DSR.1 [WUP]
is checked to decide whether the PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts up from reset or with a wake-up event from Power
Down Mode.
In case of a reset port 1 and port 3 direction, output and sensitivity registers are set according to the usage of the
pins. All port pins, instead of PP2, are set to input and internal pull-down resistors are enabled. PP2 is set to input
and the internal pull-up resistor is enabled. Currently all interrupts are disabled but can be easily enabled by setting
the global interrupt enable and the appropriate interrupt enable bit. The wake-up mask registers WUM and
ExtWUM are used to enable or disable the internal and external wake-up sources. In the Software Framework the
internal wake-up for thermal shutdown and the external wake-up WU1 (PP2) is enabled (unmasked). Watchdog and Interval Timer wake-up are always on in Normal, Programming and Debug Mode. After the wake-up settings
the Interval Timer is calibrated. Therefore the system clock is switched to the external crystal clock to achieve
higher accuracy. At the end of the reset routine the CRC checksum over the whole xdata content is calculated. If
the CRC checksum is not valid, the xdata variables are (re-)initialized to zero.
If the PMA71xx/PMA51xx wakes up from Power Down or Thermal Shutdown State, the wake-up source is
checked. If a wake-up has been detected, the appropriate xdata counting variable is incremented, the CRC
checksum over xdata content 00H - 0EH is calculated and written to xdata memory at 0FH. In case of a Watchdog
Timer - or thermal shutdown wake-up the PMA71xx/PMA51xx is reset to ensure a defined state of the SFRs. If an
Interval Timer - or external WU1 wake-up occurred the Watchdog Timer is reset, the RF-Transmitter is initialized
through RFInit(), the xdata variables are copied into an idata buffer and this buffer is transmitted over RF by calling
RFTransmit(). After the transmission the PMA71xx/PMA51xx is set into Power Down Mode to save energy and
waits for the next wake-up event. The check for all existing wake-up flags is already implemented. To be able to
use one of the currently disabled (masked) wake-up sources, the wake-up source has to be enabled and the wakeup has to be handled.

2.2.4

Interrupt_Services.c

Currently no interrupt is enabled. To be able to use an interrupt the appropriate enable bits in
Software_Framework.c has to be set. In Interrupt_Services.c all interrupt service routines are defined and have to
be implemented if an interrupt should be used. There is a lot of inline documentation within this file which describes
which bits have to be set to enable every single interrupt.

2.2.5

RF_Functions.c

The functions of RFInit() and RFTransmit() are implemented in RF_Functions.c.

2.2.5.1

RFInit()

First of all a variable of the struct RF_Config, see PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h, is defined and initialized. Then
the Library function InitRF() is called to set the appropriate values to all SFRs needed for the RF-Transmission. A
detailed description of each element of the struct RF_Config can be found in [1].

2.2.5.2

RFTransmit()

The RF-Transmission is done by this function. This function is used to generate the RF-Framing which is required
by the TDA523x receiver. The RF-Frame is described in detail in Chapter 5.

2.3

Function Library file (PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.lib)

This is the Function Library where all functions defined in PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h are implemented.

PMA71xx/PMA51xx MCU specific features

The PMA71xx/PMA51xx MCU supports some specific features that are not standard within 8051 micro controllers
and which assist the user with the software development. These are listed below and described in the following
chapters:

PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library

Wake-up and reset
Watchdog Timer
Interval Timer

3.1

Function Library

The PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library is a set of optimized functions developed by Infineon which make it very
easy for the user to develop a software application for the PMA71xx/PMA51xx. A detailed description of every
function implemented in the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library can be found in [1]. By using a
PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function the user does not need to set every single bit in a couple of SFRs
to get the intended functionality. To initialize the RF-Transmission for example about 85 bits in 11 SFRs have to
be set. This can be simply done by only one PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function, InitRF(..), as shown in
below example.

3.1.1

Code Example

To set up the RF-Transmitter a variable of struct RF_Config, which is defined in PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h,

is initialized and the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function InitRF(..) is called using this variable as
parameter.
// declare and initialize a variable of struct RF_Config
struct RF_Config idata myRF_Config;
myRF_Config.Quiescent = 0;
myRF_Config.IntMask = 0;
myRF_Config.DutyControl = DUTY_OFF;
myRF_Config.XcapShort = DISABLE;
myRF_Config.Encoding = MANCHESTER;
myRF_Config.dataLength = 7;
myRF_Config.DutyCycle = DUTY_27;
myRF_Config.Modulation = ASK;
myRF_Config.Invert = NO_INVERT;
myRF_Config.Frequency = RF_315MHZ;
myRF_Config.OutStages = STAGE_3;
myRF_Config.xtal0 = 0x28;
myRF_Config.xtal1 = 0x11;
myRF_Config.baudrate = 9600;
// call Library function InitRF(..)
InitRF(&myRF_Config);

3.2

Wake-up and reset

After wake-up or reset the PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts program execution at code address 4000H. To decide
whether a wake-up or a reset has occurred the following code example could be used.

3.2.1

Code Example

The SFR bit DSR.1 [WUP] signals if there was a wake-up. If this bit is not set the PMA71xx/PMA51xx must has
started up from reset. The PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function PowerDown() sets the
PMA71xx/PMA51xx into Power Down Mode to save energy.
// Include PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library
#include "PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h"
// Include the PMA71xx/PMA51xx register file (DSR is defined here)

For operation security a Watchdog Timer is available. The Watchdog Timer represents an up-counter that is
started with value 0 and counted up by the 2kHz RC-LP clock. If the Watchdog Timer overflows after approximately
1 s, it causes the wake-up unit to generate a reset pulse in order to reset the system. Thus infinite software loops
caused by an unstable system are broken up.
The Watchdog Timer is automatically reset at wake-up- or Idle events.
Note: The up-counter has to be reset periodically by setting the SFR bit CFG2.1 [WDRES] to avoid the Watchdog
Timer reset event. The Watchdog Timer mask bit WUM.7 [WDog] is only applicable in Test Mode. In Normal
Mode, the Watchdog Timer cannot be disabled. In Programming and Debug Mode, the firmware handler
resets the Watchdog Timer in its main polling loop (polling for I2C commands).

3.4

Interval Timer

The Interval Timer is responsible to wake up the PMA71xx/PMA51xx from POWER DOWN state after a specified
time interval. In Normal Mode the Interval Timer and the corresponding wake-up is always enabled. As shown in
Chapter 3.4.1 the Interval Timer can be configured easily using the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function
CalibrateIntervalTimer(..).

3.4.1

Code Example

In the reset entry the Interval Timer is calibrated with the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function
CalibrateIntervalTimer(..). To get higher accuracy an external crystal oscillator shall be used.
In the wake-up entry the wake-up source is checked for Interval Timer wake-up. The handling of the Interval Timer
wake-up has to be implemented.
The PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library function PowerDown() sets the PMA71xx/PMA51xx into Power Down
Mode to save energy.
// Include PMA71xx/PMA51xx Function Library
#include "PMA71xx_PMA51xx_Library.h"
// Include the PMA71xx/PMA51xx register file (DSR is defined here)
#include "Reg_PMA71xx_PMA51xx.h"
#define BIT_WUP 0x02
#define BIT_IT 0x01
void main(void){
unsigned long idata Xtal_Frequency_2 = 9040000;
unsigned char WU_Frequency = 10;
// Decision: reset or wake-up entry:
// ================================
if ((DSR & BIT_WUP)== 0) {
// Reset entry:
// ============

Interval Timer configuration:

============================
Dependent on accuracy criteria as well as time and voltage drift
recalibration is recommended.

// Switch from 12MHz Hi RC oscillator to external crystal

// to get higher accuracy. (Function Library call)
Switch2XTAL();
// Interval Timer is calibrated to wake up the PMA71xx/PMA51xx every 100 ms (f = 10Hz)
// (Function Library call)
CalibrateIntervalTimer(WU_Frequency, &Xtal_Frequency_2);
}
else {
// Wake-up entry:
// =============
// Interval Timer wake-up (be careful WUF is clear on read!)
if (WUF & BIT_IT) {
// .. handle Interval Timer wake-up
}
}
// Set PMA71xx/PMA51xx into Power Down Mode (Function Library call)
PowerDown();
}

Program flow

Figure 2 on Page 12 shows a flowchart of the Software Framework.

The PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts program execution within the startup file. After RAM initialization the wake-up flag
in SFR DSR.1 [WUP] is checked to decide whether the PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts up from a reset or because of
a wake-up event.
If PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts up from reset all used modules are initialized by the corresponding SFR. To be able
to use the external wake-up WU1 Pin PP2 is configured as input and the appropriate wake-up is enabled. Currently
all interrupts are disabled and can be easily activated by enabling the global and the according interrupt. The
Interval Timer is calibrated and a CRC checksum is calculated over the XRAM. This checksum is used to control
if the XRAM data is still valid after a reset triggered by the Watchdog Timer or a thermal shutdown. Finally the
PMA71xx/PMA51xx is set into Power Down Mode to save energy and waits for a wake-up event.
If PMA71xx/PMA51xx starts up from Power Down Mode with a wake-up event, the wake-up source is checked.
Four wake-up sources are handled by the Software Framework. This are the Watchdog Timer -, the thermal
shutdown -, the Interval Timer -, and the external WU1 wake-up. A counting variable is stored in the XRAM for
every implemented wake-up. These variables are incremented in the appropriate wake-up service routine and a
CRC checksum is calculated. After Watchdog Timer - and thermal shutdown wake-up a software reset is triggered
to ensure that all SFRs have a predefined state. After Interval Timer - or external WU1 wake-up the RF-Transmitter
is initialized, the XRAM content is transmitted via RF and the PMA71xx/PMA51xx is set into Power Down Mode.

RF-Protocol

Flowchart.vsd

The RF-Transmission of the PMA71xx/PMA51xx Software Framework is designed to be compatible with TDA523x
receivers. Therefore a special RF-Protocol has to be used.
The following settings are used for RF-Transmission (set in RFInit(), see RF_Functions.c):

Encoding: Manchester
Modulation: FSK
Baud rate: 9600 bps
Frequency: 434 MHz

RF-Protocol
The RF-Frame starts with a RUNIN sequence of 8 manchester coded data bits (16 chips) which are used by the
TDA523x receiver for internal filter setting and frequency adjustment. Then the 16 chips long TSI (Telegram Start
Identifier) follows, which is used to synchronize the frame and detect the exact start of a data frame (payload). To
detect the EOM (End of Message) a manchester violation (two 1B chips) is sent.

5.1

Payload of the RF-Transmission

The payload of the RF-Transmission is 16 bytes long and consists of simple up counter values for different wakeups. These wake-ups are Watchdog Timer -, Interval Timer -, thermal shutdown - and external WU1 wake-up.
Additionaly there is one byte (XDB) from the xdata memory availalbe which is currently not used, but also
transmitted via RF. Every time one of these wake-ups occurs the appropriate counter variable is incremented and
an RF-Transmission is started. The whole RF-Frame including the TDA523x-Frame and the payload is shown in
Figure 3 on Page 13.
