AUTOMOTIVE 87C5487C54-20

ONCE MODE

The ONCE (‘‘On-Circuit Emulation’’) Mode facilitates

testing and debugging of systems using the 87C54

without the 87C54 having to be removed from the

circuit The ONCE Mode is invoked by

1) Pull ALE low while the device is in reset and

PSEN is high

2) Hold ALE low as RST is deactivated

While the device is in ONCE Mode the Port 0 pins

float and the other port pins and ALE and PSEN are

weakly pulled high The oscillator circuit remains ac-

tive While the 87C54 is in this mode an emulator or

test CPU can be used to drive the circuit Normal

operation is restored when a normal reset is applied

RFI REDUCTION MODE

The RFI reduction feature can be used only if exter-

nal program memory is not required since this mode

disables the ALE pin during instruction code fetches

By writing a logical one to the LSB of the Auxiliary

Register (address 08EH) the ALE is disabled for in-

struction code fetches and the output is weakly held

high When a logical zero is written the ALE pin is

enabled allowing it to generate the Address Latch

Enable signal This bit is cleared by reset Once dis-

abled ALE remains disabled until it is reset by soft-

ware or until a hardware reset occurs
