6. TS80C54/58X2 Enhanced Features
In comparison to the original 80C52, the TS80C54/58X2 implements some new features, which are
6.1 X2 Feature
The TS80C54/58X2 core needs only 6 clock periods per machine cycle. This feature called ”X2” provides the
following advantages:
In order to keep the original C51 compatibility, a divider by 2 is inserted between the XTAL1 signal and the main
clock input of the core (phase generator). This divider may be disabled by software.
6.1.1 Description
The clock for the whole circuit and peripheral is first divided by two before being used by the CPU core and
peripherals. This allows any cyclic ratio to be accepted on XTAL1 input. In X2 mode, as this divider is bypassed,
the signals on XTAL1 must have a cyclic ratio between 40 to 60%. Figure 1. shows the clock generation block
diagram. X2 bit is validated on XTAL1 2 rising edge to avoid glitches when switching from X2 to STD mode.
Figure 2. shows the mode switching waveforms.
Rev. C - 15 January, 2001
Divide frequency crystals by 2 (cheaper crystals) while keeping same CPU power.
Save power consumption while keeping same CPU power (oscillator power saving).
Save power consumption by dividing dynamically operating frequency by 2 in operating and idle modes.
Increase CPU power by 2 while keeping same crystal frequency.
