CORE MICRO OVERVIEW
The SEM incorporates the Dallas High Speed Micro
core which is a fully static CMOS 8051 compatible
microcontroller with
a
new
internal architecture
designed for high performance.
The higher speed
operation of the microcontroller core comes not just
from increasing the clock frequency, but from a newer,
more efficient design of the internal architecture. The
major features of the High Speed Micro Core include:
4 clocks/machine cycle (8032 = 12)
Wasted cycles removed
Runs DC to 25 Mhz clock rates @ 5V
Single–cycle instruction in 160 ns
Uses less power for equivalent work
Dual data pointer
Optional variable length MOVX to access fast/slow
RAM /peripherals

INSTRUCTION SET SUMMARY
All instructions in the SEM perform the same functions
as their 80C32 counterparts. Their affect on bits, flags,
and other status functions are identical. However, the
timing of each instruction is different. This applies both
in absolute and relative number of clocks.
For absolute timing of real–time events, the timing of
software loops will need to be calculated using the table
below. However, counter/timers default to run at the
older 12 clocks per increment. Therefore, while soft-
ware runs at higher speed, timer–based events need no
modification to operate as before. Timers can be set to
run at 4 clocks per increment cycle to take advantage of
higher speed operation.
The relative time of two instructions might be different in
the new architecture than it was previously. For exam-
ple, in the original architecture, the “MOVX A, @ DPTR”
instruction and the “MOV direct, direct” instruction used
two machine cycles or 24 oscillator cycles. Therefore,
they required the same amount of time. In the GEM, the
MOVX instruction can be done in two machine cycles or
8 oscillator cycles but the “MOV direct, direct” uses
three machine cycles or 12 oscillator cycles. While both
are faster than their original counterparts, they now
have different execution times from each other. This is
because in most cases, the SEM uses one cycle for
each byte. The timing of each instruction should be
examined for familiarity with the changes. Note that a
machine cycle now requires just four clocks, and pro-
vides one ALE pulse per cycle.
Many instructions
require only one cycle, but some require five. In the orig-
inal architecture, all were one or two cycles except for
MUL and DIV.
