Description

The AT91X40 Series is a subset of the Atmel AT91 16/32-bit microcontroller family,

which is based on the ARM7TDMI processor core. This processor has a high-perfor-

mance 32-bit RISC architecture with a high-density 16-bit instruction set and very low

power consumption. In addition, a large number of internally banked registers result in

very fast exception handling, making the device ideal for real-time control applications.

The AT91X40 Series features a direct connection to off-chip memory, including Flash,

through the fully programmable External Bus Interface (EBI). An eight-level priority

vectored interrupt controller, in conjunction with the Peripheral Data Controller signifi-

cantly improve the real-time performance of the device.

The devices are manufactured using Atmel’s high-density CMOS technology. By com-

bining the ARM7TDMI processor core with on-chip high-speed memory and a wide

range of peripheral functions on a monolithic chip, the Atmel AT91X40 Series is a fam-

ily of powerful microcontrollers that offer a flexible, cost-effective solution to many

compute-intensive embedded control applications.

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Architectural

Overview

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate an ARM7TDMI with its embedded ICE

interface, memories and peripherals. The series’ architecture consists of two main

buses, the Advanced System Bus (ASB) and the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB).

Designed for maximum performance and controlled by the memory controller, the ASB

interfaces the ARM7TDMI processor with the on-chip 32-bit memories, the External Bus

Interface (EBI) and the AMBA^™Bridge. The AMBA Bridge drives the APB, which is

designed for accesses to on-chip peripherals and optimized for low-power consumption.

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers implement the ICE port of the ARM7TDMI proces-

sor on dedicated pins, offering a complete, low-cost and easy-to-use debug solution for

target debugging.

Memories

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers embed up to 256K bytes of internal SRAM, and

up to 128K bytes of ROM. The internal memories are directly connected to the 32-bit

data bus and are single-cycle accessible. This provides maximum performance of 0.9

MIPS/MHz by using the ARM instruction set of the processor, minimizing system power

consumption and improving the performance of separate memory solutions.

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers feature an External Bus Interface (EBI), which

enables connection of external memories and application-specific peripherals. The EBI

supports 8- or 16-bit devices and can use two 8-bit devices to emulate a single 16-bit

device. The EBI implements the early read protocol, enabling faster memory accesses

than standard memory interfaces.

Peripherals

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate several peripherals, which are classified

as system or user peripherals. All on-chip peripherals are 32-bit accessible by the

AMBA Bridge, and can be programmed with a minimum number of instructions. The

peripheral register set is composed of control, mode, data, status and enable/dis-

able/status registers.

An on-chip Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) transfers data between the on-chip

USARTs and on- and off-chip memories address space without processor intervention.

Most importantly, the PDC removes the processor interrupt handling overhead, making

it possible to transfer up to 64K continuous bytes without reprogramming the start

address, thus increasing the performance of the microcontroller, and reducing the power

consumption.

System Peripherals

The External Bus Interface (EBI) controls the external memory or devices via an 8-bit or

16-bit data bus, and is programmed through the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). Each

chip select line has its own programming register.

The Power Saving (PS) module implements the Idle Mode (ARM7TDMI core clock

stopped until the next interrupt) and enables the user to adapt the power consumption of

the microcontroller to application requirements (independent peripheral clock control).

The Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) controls the internal sources from the internal

peripherals and the four external interrupt lines (including the FIQ) to provide an inter-

rupt and/or fast interrupt request to the ARM7TDMI. It integrates an 8-level priority

controller, and, using the Auto-vectoring feature, reduces the interrupt latency time.

The Parallel Input/Output Controller (PIO) controls up to 32 I/O lines. It enables the user

to select specific pins for on-chip peripheral input/output functions, and general-purpose

input/output signal pins. The PIO controller can be programmed to detect an interrupt on

a signal change from each line.

5

1354D–ATARM–05/02

The Watchdog (WD) can be used to prevent system lock-up if the software becomes

trapped in a deadlock.

The Special Function (SF) module integrates the Chip ID, the Reset Status and the Pro-

tect registers.

User Peripherals

Two USARTs, independently configurable, enable communication at a high baud rate in

Synchronous or Asynchronous Mode. The format includes start, stop and parity bits and

up to 8 data bits. Each USART also features a Timeout and a Time Guard register, facil-

itating the use of the two dedicated Peripheral Data Controller (PDC) channels.

The 3-channel, 16-bit Timer Counter (TC) is highly-programmable and supports Capture

or Waveform Modes. Each TC channel can be programmed to measure or generate dif-

ferent kinds of waves, and can detect and control two input/output signals. The TC also

has 3 external clock signals.

Product Overview

Power Supply

The AT91x40 Series Microcontrollers have two types of power supply pins - VDDIO and

VDDCORE. However, the AT91M40800, the AT91M40807 and the AT91R40807 have

single-supply VDD, VDDIO and VDDCORE pins that have to be tied to the same volt-

age. For further details on power supplies and acceptable voltage range on VDD,

VDDIO and VDDCORE, refer to the product Summary Datasheet or the product Electri-

cal Characteristics datasheet.

Input/Output

Considerations

The AT91M40807, the AT91R40807 and the AT91R40008 accept voltage levels up to

their power supply limit on the pads.

The AT91M40800 Microcontroller I/O pads are 5V-tolerant, enabling it to interface with

external 5V devices without any additional components. 5V-tolerant means that the

AT91M40800 accepts 5V (3V) on the inputs even if it is powered at 3V (2V). Refer to the

AT91M40800 Electrical Characteristics datasheet for further details.

After the reset, the peripheral I/Os are initialized as inputs to provide the user with maxi-

mum flexibility. It is recommended that in any application phase, the inputs to the

AT91X40 Series Microcontroller be held at valid logic levels to minimize the power

consumption.

Master Clock

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers have a fully static design and work on the Master

Clock (MCK), provided on the MCKI pin from an external source.

The Master Clock is also provided as an output of the device on the pin MCKO, which is

multiplexed with a general-purpose I/O line. While NRST is active, the MCKO stays low.

After the reset, the MCKO is valid and outputs an image of the MCK signal. The PIO

Controller must be programmed to use this pin as standard I/O line.

Reset

Reset restores the default states of the user interface registers (defined in the user inter-

face of each peripheral), and forces the ARM7TDMI to perform the next instruction fetch

from address zero. Except for the program counter the ARM7TDMI registers do not

have defined reset states.

NRST Pin

NRST is active low-level input. It is asserted asynchronously, but exit from reset is syn-

chronized internally to the MCK. The signal presented on MCK must be active within the

specification for a minimum of 10 clock cycles up to the rising edge of NRST, to ensure

correct operation. The first processor fetch occurs 80 clock cycles after the rising edge

of NRST.

Watchdog Reset

The watchdog can be programmed to generate an internal reset. In this case, the reset

has the same effect as the NRST pin assertion, but the pins BMS and NTRI are not

sampled. Boot Mode and Tri-state Mode are not updated. If the NRST pin is asserted

and the watchdog triggers the internal reset, the NRST pin has priority.

Emulation Function

Tri-state Mode

The AT91X40 Series provides a tri-state mode, which is used for debug purposes. This

enables the connection of an emulator probe to an application board without having to

desolder the device from the target board. In tri-state mode, all the output pin drivers of

the AT91X40 Series Microcontroller are disabled.

8

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

To enter tri-state mode, the pin NTRI must be held low during the last 10 clock cycles

before the rising edge of NRST. For normal operation, the pin NTRI must be held high

during reset, by a resistor of up to 400K Ohm.

NTRI is multiplexed with I/O line P21 and USART 1 serial data transmit line TXD1.

Standard RS-232 drivers generally contain internal 400K Ohm pull-up resistors. If TXD1

is connected to a device not including this pull-up, the user must make sure that a high

level is tied on NTRI while NRST is asserted.

JTAG/ICE Debug

ARM standard embedded In-circuit Emulation is supported via the JTAG/ICE port. The

pins TDI, TDO, TCK and TMS are dedicated to this debug function and can be con-

nected to a host computer via the external ICE interface.

In ICE Debug Mode, the ARM7TDMI core responds with a non-JTAG chip ID that identi-

fies the microcontroller. This is not fully IEEE1149.1 compliant.

Memory Controller

The ARM7TDMI processor address space is 4G bytes. The memory controller decodes

the internal 32-bit address bus and defines three address spaces:

•

Internal Memories in the four lowest megabytes

Middle Space reserved for the external devices (memory or peripherals) controlled

by the EBI

•

Internal Peripherals in the four highest megabytes

In any of these address spaces, the ARM7TDMI operates in Little-Endian Mode only.

Internal Memories

The AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate one or two banks of internal static

SRAM and/or one bank of ROM. All internal memories are 32 bits wide and single-clock

cycle accessible. Byte (8-bit), halfword (16-bit) or word (32-bit) accesses are supported

and are executed within one cycle. Fetching Thumb or ARM instructions is supported

and internal memory can store twice as many Thumb instructions as ARM ones.

All the AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers integrate a primary 8-Kbyte or 256-Kbyte

SRAM bank, accessible at address 0x0 (after the remap).

The AT91R40807 integrates a secondary SRAM memory bank of 128K bytes at

address 0x10 0000. This secondary bank can be used to emulate the ROM of the

AT91M40807.

The AT91M40807 Microcontroller integrates 128K bytes of internal ROM at address

0x10 0000. It offers a reduced-cost option of the AT91R40807 for high-volume applica-

tions in which the software is stable.

Using Internal Memories

The primary RAM bank is always mapped at address 0x30 0000 before remap and at

address 0x0 after the remap, allowing ARM7TDMI exception vectors to be modified by

the software. Making the RAM bank accessible before remap allows the user to copy

ARM exception vectors and boot code into the bank prior to remap.

The rest of the bank can be used for stack allocation to speed up context saving and

restoration, or as data and program storage for critical algorithms.

Placing the SRAM on-chip and using a 32-bit data bus bandwidth maximizes microcon-

troller performance while minimizing system power consumption. The 32-bit bus

optimizes use of the ARM instruction set and offers the ability to process data wider than

16 bits, thus making optimal use of the ARM7TDMI advanced performance.

The capability to update application software dynamically in an internal SRAM bank

adds an extra dimension to the AT91X40 Series Microcontrollers.

9

1354D–ATARM–05/02

ROM Emulation

The AT91R40807 provides an ideal means of emulating the ROM version

AT91M40807. The secondary SRAM bank of the AT91R40807 is mapped to the same

address as the ROM of the AT91M40807. It is write-protected after a reset; writing 0x1

in the Memory Mode Register of the Special Function Module can disable this

protection.

At system power-up, the code is downloaded from an external non-volatile memory or

through a debugger to the on-chip secondary SRAM bank of the AT91R40807. After the

secondary SRAM bank write-protection is enabled, the application is in the same envi-

ronment as though it were running on an AT91M40807.

Boot Mode Select

The ARM reset vector is at address 0x0. After the NRST line is released, the

ARM7TDMI executes the instruction stored at this address. This means that this

address must be mapped in non-volatile memory after the reset.

The input level on the BMS pin during the last 10 clock cycles before the rising edge of

the NRST selects the type of boot memory. The Boot Mode depends on BMS and

whether or not the AT91X40 Series Microcontroller has on-chip ROM or extended

SRAM (see Table 3).

The AT91R40807 supports boot in on-chip extended SRAM, for the purpose of emulat-

ing ROM versions. In this case, the microcontroller must first boot from external non-

volatile memory, and ensure that a valid program is downloaded in the on-chip extended

SRAM. Then, the NRST must be reasserted by external circuitry after the level on the

pin BMS is changed.

The pin BMS is multiplexed with the I/O line P24 that can be programmed after reset like

any standard PIO line.

Remap Command

The ARM vectors (Reset, Abort, Data Abort, Prefetch Abort, Undefined Instruction,

Interrupt, Fast Interrupt) are mapped from address 0x0 to address 0x20. In order to

allow these vectors to be redefined dynamically by the software, the AT91X40 Series

Microcontrollers use a remap command that enables switching between the boot mem-

ory and the internal primary SRAM bank addresses. The remap command is accessible

through the EBI User Interface, by writing one in RCB of EBI_RCR (Remap Control

Register). Performing a remap command is mandatory if access to the other external

devices (connected to chip selects 1 to 7) is required. The remap operation can only be

changed back by an internal reset or an NRST assertion.

Abort Control

The abort signal providing a Data Abort or a Prefetch Abort exception to the ARM7TDMI

is asserted in the following cases:

•

When accessing an undefined address in the EBI address space

When writing to a write-protected internal memory area on the AT91R40807

10

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

No abort is generated when reading the internal memory or by accessing the internal

peripheral, whether the address is defined or not.

When a write-protected area is accessed, the memory controller detects it and gener-

ates an abort but does not cancel the access.

External Bus Interface

The External Bus Interface handles the accesses between addresses 0x0040 0000 and

0xFFC0 0000. It generates the signals that control access to the external devices, and

can be configured from eight 1M byte banks up to four 16M bytes banks. It supports

byte, half-word and word aligned accesses.

For each of these banks, the user can program:

•

Number of wait states

Number of data float times (wait time after the access is finished to prevent any bus

contention in case the device is too long in releasing the bus)

•

Data bus width (8-bit or 16-bit)

With a 16-bit wide data bus, the user can program the EBI to control one 16-bit

device (Byte Access Select Mode) or two 8-bit devices in parallel that emulate a 16-

bit memory (Byte Write Access Mode).

The External Bus Interface features also the Early Read Protocol, configurable for all the

devices, that significantly reduces access time requirements on an external device in

the case of single clock cycle access.

Peripherals

The AT91X40 Series’ peripherals are connected to the 32-bit wide Advanced Peripheral

Bus. Peripheral registers are only word accessible – byte and half-word accesses are

not supported. If a byte or a half-word access is attempted, the memory controller auto-

matically masks the lowest address bits and generates a word access.

Each peripheral has a 16-Kbyte address space allocated (the AIC only has a 4-Kbyte

address space).

Peripheral Registers

The following registers are common to all peripherals:

•

Control Register – write only register that triggers a command when a one is written

to the corresponding position at the appropriate address. Writing a zero has no

effect.

•

Mode Register – read/write register that defines the configuration of the peripheral.

Usually has a value of 0x0 after a reset.

Data Registers – read and/or write register that enables the exchange of data

between the processor and the peripheral.

•

Status Register – read only register that returns the status of the peripheral.

Enable/Disable/Status Registers are shadow command registers. Writing a one in

the Enable Register sets the corresponding bit in the Status Register. Writing a one

in the Disable Register resets the corresponding bit and the result can be read in the

Status Register. Writing a bit to zero has no effect. This register access method

maximizes the efficiency of bit manipulation, and enables modification of a register

with a single non-interruptible instruction, replacing the costly read-modify-write

operation.

Unused bits in the peripheral registers are shown as “–“ and must be written at 0 for

upward compatibility. These bits read 0.

11

1354D–ATARM–05/02

Peripheral Interrupt Control

The Interrupt Control of each peripheral is controlled from the status register using the

interrupt mask. The status register bits are ANDed to their corresponding interrupt mask

bits and the result is then ORed to generate the Interrupt Source signal to the Advanced

Interrupt Controller.

The interrupt mask is read in the Interrupt Mask Register and is modified with the Inter-

rupt Enable Register and the Interrupt Disable Register. The enable/disable/status (or

mask) makes it possible to enable or disable peripheral interrupt sources with a non-

interruptible single instruction. This eliminates the need for interrupt masking at the AIC

or Core level in real-time and multi-tasking systems.

Peripheral Data Controller

The AT91X40 Series Microcontroller has a 4-channel PDC dedicated to the two on-chip

USARTs. One PDC channel is dedicated to the receiver and one to the transmitter of

each USART.

The user interface of a PDC channel is integrated in the memory space of each USART.

It contains a 32-bit Address Pointer Register (RPR or TPR) and a 16-bit Transfer

Counter Register (RCR or TCR). When the programmed number of transfers are per-

formed, a status bit indicating the end of transfer is set in the USART Status Register

and an interrupt can be generated.

System Peripherals

PS: Power-saving

The Power-saving feature optimizes power consumption, enabling the software to stop

the ARM7TDMI clock (Idle Mode) and restarting it when the module receives an inter-

rupt (or reset). It also enables on-chip peripheral clocks to be enabled and disabled

individually, matching power consumption and application needs.

AIC: Advanced Interrupt

Controller

The AIC has an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt controller, and

drives the NIRQ and NFIQ pins of the ARM7TDMI from:

•

The external fast interrupt line (FIQ)

The three external interrupt request lines (IRQ0 - IRQ2)

The interrupt signals from the on-chip peripherals

The AIC is extensively programmable, offering maximum flexibility, and its vectoring fea-

tures reduce the real-time overhead in handling interrupts.

The AIC also features a spurious vector, which reduces spurious interrupt handling to a

minimum, and a protect mode that facilitates the debug capabilities.

PIO: Parallel IO Controller

WD: Watchdog

The AT91X40 Series has 32 programmable I/O lines. Six pins are dedicated as general-

purpose I/O pins. Other I/O lines are multiplexed with an external signal of a peripheral

to optimize the use of available package pins. The PIO controller enables generation of

an interrupt on input change and insertion of a simple input glitch filter on any of the PIO

pins.

The Watchdog is built around a 16-bit counter, and is used to prevent system lock-up if

the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. It can generate an internal reset or inter-

rupt, or assert an active level on the dedicated pin NWDOVF. All programming registers

are password-protected to prevent unintentional programming.

The AT91X40 Series provides two identical, full-duplex, universal synchronous/asyn-

chronous receiver/transmitters.

Asynchronous Receiver

Transmitter

Each USART has its own baud rate generator, and two dedicated Peripheral Data Con-

troller channels. The data format includes a start bit, up to 8 data bits, an optional

programmable parity bit and up to 2 stop bits.

The USART also features a Receiver Timeout register, facilitating variable length Frame

support when it is working with the PDC, and a Time Guard register, used when interfac-

ing with slow remote equipment.

TC: Timer Counter

The AT91X40 Series features a Timer Counter block that includes three identical 16-bit

timer counter channels. Each channel can be independently programmed to perform a

wide range of functions, including frequency measurement, event counting, interval

measurement, pulse generation, delay timing and pulse-width modulation.

The Timer Counter can be used in Capture or Waveform Mode, and all three counter

channels can be started simultaneously and chained together.

EBI: External Bus

Interface

The EBI generates the signals that control the access to the external memory or periph-

eral devices. The EBI is fully-programmable and can address up to 64M bytes. It has

eight chip selects and a 24-bit address bus, the upper four bits of which are multiplexed

with a chip select.

The 16-bit data bus can be configured to interface with 8- or 16-bit external devices.

Separate read and write control signals allow for direct memory and peripheral

interfacing.

The EBI supports different access protocols allowing single-clock cycle memory

accesses.

The main features are:

•

External memory mapping

Up to 8 chip select lines

8- or 16-bit data bus

Byte write or byte select lines

Remap of boot memory

Two different read protocols

Programmable wait state generation

External wait request

Programmable data float time

The “EBI User Interface” is described on page 45.

External Memory

Mapping

The memory map associates the internal 32-bit address space with the external 24-bit

address bus.

The memory map is defined by programming the base address and page size of the

external memories (see “EBI User Interface” registers EBI_CSR0 to EBI_CSR7). Note

that A0 - A23 is only significant for 8-bit memory; A1 - A23 is used for 16-bit memory.

If the physical memory device is smaller than the programmed page size, it wraps

around and appears to be repeated within the page. The EBI correctly handles any valid

access to the memory device within the page (see Figure 6).

In the event of an access request to an address outside any programmed page, an

Abort signal is generated. Two types of Abort are possible: instruction prefetch abort

and data abort. The corresponding exception vector addresses are respectively

0x0000000C and 0x00000010. It is up to the system programmer to program the error

handling routine to use in case of an Abort (see the ARM7TDMI datasheet for further

information).

If two chip selects are defined as having the same base address, an access to the over-

lapping address space asserts both NCS lines. The Chip Select Register with the

smaller number defines the characteristics of the external access and the behavior of

the control signals.

Chip Select Lines

The EBI provides up to eight chip select lines:

•

Chip select lines NCS0 - NCS3 are dedicated to the EBI (not multiplexed).

Chip select lines CS4 - CS7 are multiplexed with the top four address lines A23 -

A20.

By exchanging address lines for chip select lines, the user can optimize the EBI to suit

the external memory requirements: more external devices or larger address range for

each device.

The selection is controlled by the ALE field in EBI_MCR (Memory Control Register). The

following combinations are possible:

A20, A21, A22, A23 (configuration by default)

A20, A21, A22, CS4

Byte Write or Byte Select Each chip select with a 16-bit data bus can operate with one of two different types of

write access:

Access

•

Byte Write Access supports two byte write and a single read signal.

Byte Select Access selects upper and/or lower byte with two byte select lines, and

separate read and write signals.

This option is controlled by the BAT field in the EBI_CSR (Chip Select Register) for the

corresponding chip select.

Byte Write Access is used to connect 2 x 8-bit devices as a 16-bit memory page.

•

The signal A0/NLB is not used.

The signal NWR1/NUB is used as NWR1 and enables upper byte writes.

The signal NWR0/NWE is used as NWR0 and enables lower byte writes.

The signal NRD/NOE is used as NRD and enables half-word and byte reads.

Boot on NCS0

Depending on the device and the BMS pin level during the reset, the user can select

either an 8-bit or 16-bit external memory device connected on NCS0 as the Boot Mem-

ory. In this case, EBI_CSR0 (Chip Select Register 0) is reset at the following

configuration for chip select 0:

•

8 wait states (WSE = 1, NWS = 7)

8-bit or 16-bit data bus width, depending on BMS

Byte access type and number of data float time are respectively set to Byte Write

Access and 0. With a non-volatile memory interface, any values can be programmed for

these parameters.

Before the remap command, the user can modify the chip select 0 configuration, pro-

gramming the EBI_CSR0 with exact boot memory characteristics. the base address

becomes effective after the remap command, but the new number of wait states can be

changed immediately. This is useful if a boot sequence needs to be faster.

26

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Read Protocols

The EBI provides two alternative protocols for external memory read access: standard

and early read. The difference between the two protocols lies in the timing of the NRD

(read cycle) waveform.

The protocol is selected by the DRP field in EBI_MCR (Memory Control Register) and is

valid for all memory devices. Standard read protocol is the default protocol after reset.

Note:

In the following waveforms and descriptions, NRD represents NRD and NOE since the

two signals have the same waveform. Likewise, NWE represents NWE, NWR0 and

NWR1 unless NWR0 and NWR1 are otherwise represented. ADDR represents A0 - A23

and/or A1 - A23.

Standard Read Protocol

Standard read protocol implements a read cycle in which NRD and NWE are similar.

Both are active during the second half of the clock cycle. The first half of the clock cycle

allows time to ensure completion of the previous access as well as the output of address

and NCS before the read cycle begins.

During a standard read protocol, external memory access, NCS is set low and ADDR is

valid at the beginning of the access while NRD goes low only in the second half of the

master clock cycle to avoid bus conflict (see Figure 14). NWE is the same in both proto-

cols. NWE always goes low in the second half of the master clock cycle (see Figure 15).

Early Read Protocol

Early Read Wait State

Early read protocol provides more time for a read access from the memory by asserting

NRD at the beginning of the clock cycle. In the case of successive read cycles in the

same memory, NRD remains active continuously. Since a read cycle normally limits the

speed of operation of the external memory system, early read protocol can allow a

faster clock frequency to be used. However, an extra wait state is required in some

cases to avoid contentions on the external bus.

In early read protocol, an early read wait state is automatically inserted when an exter-

nal write cycle is followed by a read cycle to allow time for the write cycle to end before

the subsequent read cycle begins (see Figure 16). This wait state is generated in addi-

tion to any other programmed wait states (i.e. data float wait).

No wait state is added when a read cycle is followed by a write cycle, between consecu-

tive accesses of the same type or between external and internal memory accesses.

Early read wait states affect the external bus only. They do not affect internal bus timing.

Write Data Hold Time

During write cycles in both protocols, output data becomes valid after the falling edge of

the NWE signal and remains valid after the rising edge of NWE, as illustrated in Figure

17. The external NWE waveform (on the NWE pin) is used to control the output data tim-

ing to guarantee this operation.

It is therefore necessary to avoid excessive loading of the NWE pins, which could delay

the write signal too long and cause a contention with a subsequent read cycle in stan-

dard protocol.

NWE

Data Output

In early read protocol the data can remain valid longer than in standard read protocol

due to the additional wait cycle which follows a write access.

Wait States

The EBI can automatically insert wait states. The different types of wait states are listed

below:

•

Standard wait states

Data float wait states

External wait states

Chip select change wait states

Early read wait states (see “Read Protocols” )

Standard Wait States

Each chip select can be programmed to insert one or more wait states during an access

on the corresponding device. This is done by setting the WSE field in the corresponding

EBI_CSR. The number of cycles to insert is programmed in the NWS field in the same

register.

Below is the correspondence between the number of standard wait states programmed

and the number of cycles during which the NWE pulse is held low:

0 wait states1/2 cycle

1 wait state1 cycle

For each additional wait state programmed, an additional cycle is added.

Data Float Wait State

Some memory devices are slow to release the external bus. For such devices it is nec-

essary to add wait states (data float waits) after a read access before starting a write

access or a read access to a different external memory.

The Data Float Output Time (t_DF) for each external memory device is programmed in the

TDF field of the EBI_CSR register for the corresponding chip select. The value (0 - 7

clock cycles) indicates the number of data float waits to be inserted and represents the

time allowed for the data output to go high impedance after the memory is disabled.

Data float wait states do not delay internal memory accesses. Hence, a single access to

an external memory with long t_DFwill not slow down the execution of a program from

internal memory.

The EBI keeps track of the programmed external data float time during internal

accesses, to ensure that the external memory system is not accessed while it is still

busy.

Internal memory accesses and consecutive accesses to the same external memory do

not have added Data Float wait states.

External Wait

The NWAIT input can be used to add wait states at any time. NWAIT is active low and is

detected on the rising edge of the clock.

If NWAIT is low at the rising edge of the clock, the EBI adds a wait state and changes

neither the output signals nor its internal counters and state. When NWAIT is de-

asserted, the EBI finishes the access sequence.

The NWAIT signal must meet setup and hold requirements on the rising edge of the

clock.

Additional constraints are applicable to the AT91R40807, the AT91M40807 and the

AT91 40800. The behavior of the EBI is correct when NWAIT is asserted during an

external memory access:

•

When NWAIT is asserted before the first rising edge of MCKI

When NWAIT is de-asserted and at least one standard wait state remains to be

executed

These constraints are not applicable to the AT91R40008.

Chip Select Change Wait

States

A chip select wait state is automatically inserted when consecutive accesses are made

to two different external memories (if no wait states have already been inserted). If any

wait states have already been inserted, (e.g., data float wait) then none are added.

EBI User Interface

The EBI is programmed using the registers listed in the table below. The Remap Control

Register (EBI_RCR) controls exit from Boot Mode (See “Boot on NCS0” on page 26.)

The Memory Control Register (EBI_MCR) is used to program the number of active chip

selects and data read protocol. Eight Chip Select Registers (EBI_CSR0 to EBI_CSR7)

are used to program the parameters for the individual external memories. Each

EBI_CSR must be programmed with a different base address, even for unused chip

selects.

Base Address: 0xFFE00000 (Code Label EBI_BASE)

PS: Power-saving

The AT91X40 Series’ Power-saving feature enables optimization of power consumption.

The PS controls the CPU and Peripheral Clocks. One control register (PS_CR) enables

the user to stop the ARM7TDMI Clock and enter Idle Mode. One set of registers with a

set/clear mechanism enables and disables the peripheral clocks individually.

The ARM7TDMI clock is enabled after a reset and is automatically re-enabled by any

enabled interrupt in the Idle Mode.

Peripheral Clocks

The clock of each peripheral integrated in the AT91X40 Series can be individually

enabled and disabled by writing to the Peripheral Clock Enable (PS_PCER) and Periph-

eral Clock Disable Registers (PS_PCDR). The status of the peripheral clocks can be

read in the Peripheral Clock Status Register (PS_PCSR).

When a peripheral clock is disabled, the clock is immediately stopped. When the clock is

re-enabled, the peripheral resumes action where it left off.

To avoid data corruption or erroneous behavior of the system, the system software only

disables the clock after all programmed peripheral operations have finished.

The peripheral clocks are automatically enabled after a reset.

The bits that control the peripheral clocks are the same as those that control the Inter-

rupt Sources in the AIC.

AIC: Advanced

Interrupt Controller

The AT91X40 Series has an 8-level priority, individually maskable, vectored interrupt

controller. This feature substantially reduces the software and real-time overhead in

handling internal and external interrupts.

The interrupt controller is connected to the NFIQ (fast interrupt request) and the NIRQ

(standard interrupt request) inputs of the ARM7TDMI processor. The processor’s NFIQ

line can only be asserted by the external fast interrupt request input: FIQ. The NIRQ line

can be asserted by the interrupts generated by the on-chip peripherals and the external

interrupt request lines: IRQ0 to IRQ2.

The 8-level priority encoder allows the customer to define the priority between the differ-

ent NIRQ interrupt sources.

Internal sources are programmed to be level sensitive or edge triggered. External

sources can be programmed to be positive or negative edge triggered or high- or low-

level sensitive.

The interrupt sources are listed in Table 8 and the AIC programmable registers in Table

9.

1354D–ATARM–05/02

Hardware Interrupt

Vectoring

The hardware interrupt vectoring reduces the number of instructions to reach the inter-

rupt handler to only one. By storing the following instruction at address 0x00000018, the

processor loads the program counter with the interrupt handler address stored in the

AIC_IVR register. Execution is then vectored to the interrupt handler corresponding to

the current interrupt.

ldr PC,[PC,# - &F20]

The current interrupt is the interrupt with the highest priority when the Interrupt Vector

Register (AIC_IVR) is read. The value read in the AIC_IVR corresponds to the address

stored in the Source Vector Register (AIC_SVR) of the current interrupt. Each interrupt

source has its corresponding AIC_SVR. In order to take advantage of the hardware

interrupt vectoring it is necessary to store the address of each interrupt handler in the

corresponding AIC_SVR, at system initialization.

Priority Controller

The NIRQ line is controlled by an 8-level priority encoder. Each source has a program-

mable priority level of 7 to 0. Level 7 is the highest priority and level 0 the lowest.

When the AIC receives more than one unmasked interrupt at a time, the interrupt with

the highest priority is serviced first. If both interrupts have equal priority, the interrupt

with the lowest interrupt source number (see table 8) is serviced first.

The current priority level is defined as the priority level of the current interrupt at the time

the register AIC_IVR is read (the interrupt which will be serviced).

In the case when a higher priority unmasked interrupt occurs while an interrupt already

exists, there are two possible outcomes depending on whether the AIC_IVR has been

read.

•

If the NIRQ line has been asserted but the AIC_IVR has not been read, then the

processor will read the new higher priority interrupt handler address in the AIC_IVR

register and the current interrupt level is updated.

•

If the processor has already read the AIC_IVR then the NIRQ line is reasserted.

When the processor has authorized nested interrupts to occur and reads the

AIC_IVR again, it reads the new, higher priority interrupt handler address. At the

same time the current priority value is pushed onto a first-in last-out stack and the

current priority is updated to the higher priority.

When the end of interrupt command register (AIC_EOICR) is written the current inter-

rupt level is updated with the last stored interrupt level from the stack (if any). Hence at

the end of a higher priority interrupt, the AIC returns to the previous state corresponding

to the preceding lower priority interrupt which had been interrupted.

Interrupt Handling

Interrupt Masking

58

The interrupt handler must read the AIC_IVR as soon as possible. This de-asserts the

NIRQ request to the processor and clears the interrupt in case it is programmed to be

edge triggered. This permits the AIC to assert the NIRQ line again when a higher priority

unmasked interrupt occurs.

At the end of the interrupt service routine, the end of interrupt command register

(AIC_EOICR) must be written. This allows pending interrupts to be serviced.

Each interrupt source, including FIQ, can be enabled or disabled using the command

registers AIC_IECR and AIC_IDCR. The interrupt mask can be read in the read only

register AIC_IMR. A disabled interrupt does not affect the servicing of other interrupts.

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Interrupt Clearing and

Setting

All interrupt sources which are programmed to be edge triggered (including FIQ) can be

individually set or cleared by respectively writing to the registers AIC_ISCR and

AIC_ICCR. This function of the interrupt controller is available for auto-test or software

debug purposes.

Fast Interrupt Request

The external FIQ line is the only source which can raise a fast interrupt request to the

processor. Therefore, it has no priority controller.

The external FIQ line can be programmed to be positive or negative edge triggered or

high- or low-level sensitive in the AIC_SMR0 register.

The fast interrupt handler address can be stored in the AIC_SVR0 register. The value

written into this register is available by reading the AIC_FVR register when an FIQ inter-

rupt is raised. By storing the following instruction at address 0x0000001C, the processor

will load the program counter with the interrupt handler address stored in the AIC_FVR

register.

ldr PC,[PC,# -&F20]

Alternatively the interrupt handler can be stored starting from address 0x0000001C as

described in the ARM7TDMI datasheet.

Software Interrupt

Spurious Interrupt

Interrupt source 1 of the advanced interrupt controller is a software interrupt. It must be

programmed to be edge triggered in order to set or clear it by writing to the AIC_ISCR

and AIC_ICCR.

This is totally independent of the SWI instruction of the ARM7TDMI processor.

When the AIC asserts the NIRQ line, the ARM7TDMI enters IRQ Mode and the interrupt

handler reads the IVR. It may happen that the AIC de-asserts the NIRQ line after the

core has taken into account the NIRQ assertion and before the read of the IVR.

This behavior is called a Spurious Interrupt.

The AIC is able to detect these Spurious Interrupts and returns the Spurious Vector

when the IVR is read. The Spurious Vector can be programmed by the user when the

vector table is initialized.

A spurious interrupt may occur in the following cases:

•

With any sources programmed to be level sensitive, if the interrupt signal of the AIC

input is de-asserted at the same time as it is taken into account by the ARM7TDMI.

•

If an interrupt is asserted at the same time as the software is disabling the

corresponding source through AIC_IDCR (this can happen due to the pipelining of

the ARM core).

The same mechanism of spurious interrupt occurs if the ARM7TDMI reads the IVR

(application software or ICE) when there is no interrupt pending. This mechanism is also

valid for the FIQ interrupts.

Once the AIC enters the spurious interrupt management, it asserts neither the NIRQ nor

the NFIQ lines to the ARM7TDMI as long as the spurious interrupt is not acknowledged.

Therefore, it is mandatory for the Spurious Interrupt Service Routine to acknowledge the

“spurious” behavior by writing to the AIC_EOICR (End of Interrupt) before returning to

the interrupted software. It also can perform other operation(s), e.g., trace possible

undesirable behavior.

59

Protect Mode

The Protect Mode permits reading of the Interrupt Vector Register without performing

the associated automatic operations. This is necessary when working with a debug

system.

When a Debug Monitor or an ICE reads the AIC User Interface, the IVR could be read.

This would have the following consequences in Normal Mode.

•

If an enabled interrupt with a higher priority than the current one is pending, it would

be stacked

•

If there is no enabled pending interrupt, the spurious vector would be returned.

In either case, an End of Interrupt command would be necessary to acknowledge and to

restore the context of the AIC. This operation is generally not performed by the debug

system. Hence the debug system would become strongly intrusive, and could cause the

application to enter an undesired state.

This is avoided by using Protect Mode.

The Protect Mode is enabled by setting the AIC bit in the SF Protect Mode Register (see

“SF: Special Function Registers” on page 94).

When Protect Mode is enabled, the AIC performs interrupt stacking only when a write

access is performed on the AIC_IVR. Therefore, the Interrupt Service Routines must

write (arbitrary data) to the AIC_IVR just after reading it.

The new context of the AIC, including the value of the Interrupt Status Register

(AIC_ISR), is updated with the current interrupt only when IVR is written.

An AIC_IVR read on its own (e.g. by a debugger), modifies neither the AIC context nor

the AIC_ISR.

Extra AIC_IVR reads performed in between the read and the write can cause unpredict-

able results. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to set a breakpoint between

these two actions, nor to stop the software.

The debug system must not write to the AIC_IVR as this would cause undesirable

effects.

The following table shows the main steps of an interrupt and the order in which they are

performed according to the mode:

Action

Normal Mode

Read AIC_IVR

Write AIC_IVR

Protect Mode

Write AIC_IVR

–

Calculate active interrupt (higher than current or spurious)

Determine and return the vector of the active interrupt

Memorize interrupt

Push on internal stack the current priority level

Acknowledge the interrupt ⁽¹⁾

No effect⁽²⁾

Notes: 1. NIRQ de-assertion and automatic interrupt clearing if the source is programmed as

level sensitive.

2. Software that has been written and debugged using Protect Mode will run correctly in

Normal Mode without modification. However, in Normal Mode the AIC_IVR write has

no effect and can be removed to optimize the code.

AT91X40 Series

Standard Interrupt

Sequence

It is assumed that:

•

The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR are loaded

with corresponding interrupt service routine addresses and interrupts are enabled.

•

The Instruction at address 0x18(IRQ exception vector address) is

ldr pc, [pc, # - &F20]

When NIRQ is asserted, if the bit I of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:

1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_irq, the current value of the Program Counter is

loaded in the IRQ link register (r14_irq) and the Program Counter (r15) is loaded

with 0x18. In the following cycle during fetch at address 0x1C, the ARM core

adjusts r14_irq, decrementing it by 4.

2. The ARM core enters IRQ Mode, if it is not already.

3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x18 is executed, the Program Counter

is loaded with the value read in AIC_IVR. Reading the AIC_IVR has the following

effects:

–

Set the current interrupt to be the pending one with the highest priority. The

current level is the priority level of the current interrupt.

De-assert the NIRQ line on the processor. (Even if vectoring is not used,

AIC_IVR must be read in order to de-assert NIRQ)

Automatically clear the interrupt, if it has been programmed to be edge

triggered

–

Push the current level on to the stack

Return the value written in the AIC_SVR corresponding to the current

interrupt

4. The previous step has effect to branch to the corresponding interrupt service

routine. This should start by saving the Link Register(r14_irq) and the

SPSR(SPSR_irq). Note that the Link Register must be decremented by 4 when it

is saved, if it is to be restored directly into the Program Counter at the end of the

interrupt.

5. Further interrupts can then be unmasked by clearing the I bit in the CPSR, allow-

ing re-assertion of the NIRQ to be taken into account by the core. This can occur

if an interrupt with a higher priority than the current one occurs.

6. The Interrupt Handler can then proceed as required, saving the registers which

will be used and restoring them at the end. During this phase, an interrupt of pri-

ority higher than the current level will restart the sequence from step 1. Note that

if the interrupt is programmed to be level sensitive, the source of the interrupt

must be cleared during this phase.

7. The I bit in the CPSR must be set in order to mask interrupts before exiting, to

ensure that the interrupt is completed in an orderly manner.

8. The End Of Interrupt Command Register (AIC_EOICR) must be written in order

to indicate to the AIC that the current interrupt is finished. This causes the cur-

rent level to be popped from the stack, restoring the previous current level if one

exists on the stack. If another interrupt is pending, with lower or equal priority

than old current level but with higher priority than the new current level, the NIRQ

line is re-asserted, but the interrupt sequence does not immediately start

because the I bit is set in the core.

9. The SPSR (SPSR_irq) is restored. Finally, the saved value of the Link Register is

restored directly into the PC. This has effect of returning from the interrupt to

whatever was being executed before, and of loading the CPSR with the stored

71

1354D–ATARM–05/02

SPSR, masking or unmasking the interrupts depending on the state saved in the

SPSR (the previous state of the ARM core).

Note:

The I bit in the SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was just

about to mask IRQ interrupts when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence, when

the SPSR is restored, the mask instruction is completed (IRQ is masked).

72

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Fast Interrupt Sequence

It is assumed that:

•

The Advanced Interrupt Controller has been programmed, AIC_SVR[0] is loaded

with fast interrupt service routine address and the fast interrupt is enabled.

•

The Instruction at address 0x1C(FIQ exception vector address) is:

ldr pc, [pc, # - &F20].

Nested Fast Interrupts are not needed by the user.

When NFIQ is asserted, if the bit F of CPSR is 0, the sequence is:

1. The CPSR is stored in SPSR_fiq, the current value of the Program Counter is

loaded in the FIQ link register (r14_fiq) and the Program Counter (r15) is loaded

with 0x1C. In the following cycle, during fetch at address 0x20, the ARM core

adjusts r14_fiq, decrementing it by 4.

2. The ARM core enters FIQ Mode.

3. When the instruction loaded at address 0x1C is executed, the Program Counter

is loaded with the value read in AIC_FVR. Reading the AIC_FVR has effect of

automatically clearing the fast interrupt (source 0 connected to the FIQ line), if it

has been programmed to be edge triggered. In this case only, it de-asserts the

NFIQ line on the processor.

4. The previous step has effect to branch to the corresponding interrupt service

routine. It is not necessary to save the Link Register(r14_fiq) and the

SPSR(SPSR_fiq) if nested fast interrupts are not needed.

5. The Interrupt Handler can then proceed as required. It is not necessary to save

registers r8 to r13 because FIQ Mode has its own dedicated registers and the

user r8 to r13 are banked. The other registers, r0 to r7, must be saved before

being used, and restored at the end (before the next step). Note that if the fast

interrupt is programmed to be level sensitive, the source of the interrupt must be

cleared during this phase in order to de-assert the NFIQ line.

6. Finally, the Link Register (r14_fiq) is restored into the PC after decrementing it by

4 (with instruction sub pc, lr, #4 for example). This has effect of returning from the

interrupt to whatever was being executed before, and of loading the CPSR with

the SPSR, masking or unmasking the fast interrupt depending on the state saved

in the SPSR.

Note:

The F bit in the SPSR is significant. If it is set, it indicates that the ARM core was just

about to mask FIQ interrupts when the mask instruction was interrupted. Hence when

the SPSR is restored, the interrupted instruction is completed (FIQ is masked).

1354D–ATARM–05/02

PIO: Parallel I/O

Controller

The AT91X40 Series has 32 programmable I/O lines. Six pins are dedicated as general

purpose I/O pins (P16, P17, P18, P19, P23 and P24). Other I/O lines are multiplexed

with an external signal of a peripheral to optimize the use of available package pins (see

Table 10). The PIO controller also provides an internal interrupt signal to the Advanced

Interrupt Controller.

Multiplexed I/O Lines

Some I/O lines are multiplexed with an I/O signal of a peripheral. After reset, the pin is

generally controlled by the PIO Controller and is in Input Mode. Table 10 indicates which

of these pins are not controlled by the PIO Controller after reset.

When a peripheral signal is not used in an application, the corresponding pin can be

used as a parallel I/O. Each parallel I/O line is bi-directional, whether the peripheral

defines the signal as input or output. Figure 34 shows the multiplexing of the peripheral

signals with Parallel I/O signals.

If a pin is multiplexed between the PIO Controller and a peripheral, the pin is controlled

by the registers PIO_PER (PIO Enable) and PIO_PDR (PIO Disable). The register

PIO_PSR (PIO Status) indicates whether the pin is controlled by the corresponding

peripheral or by the PIO Controller.

If a pin is a general-purpose parallel I/O pin (not multiplexed with a peripheral),

PIO_PER and PIO_PDR have no effect and PIO_PSR returns 1 for the bits correspond-

ing to these pins.

When the PIO is selected, the peripheral input line is connected to zero.

Output Selection

I/O Levels

The user can enable each individual I/O signal as an output with the registers PIO_OER

(Output Enable) and PIO_ODR (Output Disable). The output status of the I/O signals

can be read in the register PIO_OSR (Output Status). The direction defined has effect

only if the pin is configured to be controlled by the PIO Controller.

Each pin can be configured to be driven high or low. The level is defined in four different

ways, according to the following conditions.

If a pin is controlled by the PIO Controller and is defined as an output (see “Output

Selection” above), the level is programmed using the registers PIO_SODR (Set Output

Data) and PIO_CODR (Clear Output Data). In this case, the programmed value can be

read in PIO_ODSR (Output Data Status).

If a pin is controlled by the PIO Controller and is not defined as an output, the level is

determined by the external circuit.

If a pin is not controlled by the PIO Controller, the state of the pin is defined by the

peripheral (see peripheral datasheets).

In all cases, the level on the pin can be read in the register PIO_PDSR (Pin Data

Status).

Filters

Optional input glitch filtering is available on each pin of the AT91M40800, the

AT91M40807 and the AT91R40807. Filtering is controlled by the registers PIO_IFER

(Input Filter Enable) and PIO_IFDR (Input Filter Disable). The input glitch filtering can be

selected whether the pin is used for its peripheral function or as a parallel I/O line. The

register PIO_IFSR (Input Filter Status) indicates whether or not the filter is activated for

each pin.

74

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Interrupts

Each parallel I/O can be programmed to generate an interrupt when a level change

occurs. This is controlled by the PIO_IER (Interrupt Enable) and PIO_IDR (Interrupt Dis-

able) registers which enable/disable the I/O interrupt by setting/clearing the

corresponding bit in the PIO_IMR. When a change in level occurs, the corresponding bit

in the PIO_ISR (Interrupt Status) is set whether the pin is used as a PIO or a peripheral

and whether it is defined as input or output. If the corresponding interrupt in PIO_IMR

(Interrupt Mask) is enabled, the PIO interrupt is asserted.

When PIO_ISR is read, the register is automatically cleared.

User Interface

Each individual I/O is associated with a bit position in the Parallel I/O user interface reg-

isters. Each of these registers are 32 bits wide. If a parallel I/O line is not defined, writing

to the corresponding bits has no effect. Undefined bits read zero.

Notes: 1. The reset value of this register depends on the level of the external pins at reset.

2. This register is cleared at reset. However, the first read of the register can give a value not equal to zero if any changes have

occurred on any pins between the reset and the read.

3. This register exists in the AT91R40008 but its value has no meaning, since the filters are not implemented.

This register indicates for each pin when a logic value change has been detected (rising or falling edge). This is valid

whether the PIO is selected for the pin or not and whether the pin is an input or output.

The register is reset to zero following a read, and at reset.

1 = At least one change has been detected on the corresponding pin since the register was last read.

0 = No change has been detected on the corresponding pin since the register was last read.

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

WD: Watchdog Timer The AT91X40 Series has an internal watchdog timer which can be used to prevent sys-

tem lock-up if the software becomes trapped in a deadlock. In normal operation the user

reloads the watchdog at regular intervals before the timer overflow occurs. If an overflow

does occur, the watchdog timer generates one or a combination of the following signals,

depending on the parameters in WD_OMR (Overflow Mode Register):

•

If RSTEN is set, an internal reset is generated (WD_RESET as shown in Figure 35).

If IRQEN is set, a pulse is generated on the signal WDIRQ which is connected to the

Advanced Interrupt Controller

•

If EXTEN is set, a low level is driven on the NWDOVF signal for a duration of 8 MCK

cycles.

The watchdog timer has a 16-bit down counter. Bits 12-15 of the value loaded when the

watchdog is restarted are programmable using the HPVC parameter in WD_CMR

(Clock Mode). Four clock sources are available to the watchdog counter: MCK/8,

MCK/32, MCK/128 or MCK/1024. The selection is made using the WDCLKS parameter

in WD_CMR. This provides a programmable time-out period of 1 ms to 2 sec. with a 33

MHz system clock.

All write accesses are protected by control access keys to help prevent corruption of the

watchdog should an error condition occur. To update the contents of the mode and con-

trol registers it is necessary to write the correct bit pattern to the control access key bits

at the same time as the control bits are written (the same write access).

WD Enabling Sequence

To enable the Watchdog Timer the sequence is as follows:

1. Disable the Watchdog by clearing the bit WDEN:

Write 0x2340 to WD_OMR

This step is unnecessary if the WD is already disabled (reset state).

2. Initialize the WD Clock Mode Register:

Write 0x373C to WD_CMR

(HPCV = 15 and WDCLKS = MCK/8)

3. Restart the timer:

Write 0xC071 to WD_CR

4. Enable the watchdog:

Write 0x2345 to WD_OMR (interrupt enabled)

Description

USART Serial clock can be configured as input or output:

SCK

SCK is configured as input if an External clock is selected (USCLKS[1] = 1)

SCK is driven as output if the External Clock is disabled (USCLKS[1] = 0) and Clock output is enabled (CLKO = 1)

TXD

RXD

Transmit Serial Data is an output

Receive Serial Data is an input

Notes: 1. After a hardware reset, the USART pins are not enabled by default (see “PIO: Parallel I/O Controller” on page 74). The user

must configure the PIO Controller before enabling the transmitter or receiver.

2. If the user selects one of the internal clocks, SCK can be configured as a PIO.

99

1354D–ATARM–05/02

Baud Rate Generator

The Baud Rate Generator provides the bit period clock (the Baud Rate clock) to both the

Receiver and the Transmitter.

The Baud Rate Generator can select between external and internal clock sources. The

external clock source is SCK. The internal clock sources can be either the master clock

(MCK) or the master clock divided by 8 (MCK/8).

Note:

In all cases, if an external clock is used, the duration of each of its levels must be longer

than the system clock (MCK) period. The external clock frequency must be at least 2.5

times lower than the system clock.

When the USART is programmed to operate in Asynchronous Mode (SYNC = 0 in the

Mode Register US_MR), the selected clock is divided by 16 times the value (CD) written

in US_BRGR (Baud Rate Generator Register). If US_BRGR is set to 0, the Baud Rate

Clock is disabled.

Selected Clock

Baud Rate

=

16 x CD

When the USART is programmed to operate in Synchronous Mode (SYNC = 1) and the

selected clock is internal (USCLKS[1] = 0 in the Mode Register US_MR), the Baud Rate

Clock is the internal selected clock divided by the value written in US_BRGR. If

US_BRGR is set to 0, the Baud Rate Clock is disabled.

In Synchronous Mode with external clock selected (USCLKS[1] = 1), the clock is pro-

vided directly by the signal on the SCK pin. No division is active. The value written in

US_BRGR has no effect.

AT91X40 Series

Receiver

Asynchronous Receiver

The USART is configured for asynchronous operation when SYNC = 0 (bit 7 of

US_MR). In Asynchronous Mode, the USART detects the start of a received character

by sampling the RXD signal until it detects a valid start bit. A low level (space) on RXD is

interpreted as a valid start bit if it is detected for more than 7 cycles of the sampling

clock, which is 16 times the baud rate. Hence a space which is longer than 7/16 of the

bit period is detected as a valid start bit. A space which is 7/16 of a bit period or shorter

is ignored and the receiver continues to wait for a valid start bit.

When a valid start bit has been detected, the receiver samples the RXD at the theoreti-

cal mid-point of each bit. It is assumed that each bit lasts 16 cycles of the sampling clock

(one bit period) so the sampling point is 8 cycles (0.5 bit periods) after the start of the bit.

The first sampling point is therefore 24 cycles (1.5 bit periods) after the falling edge of

the start bit was detected. Each subsequent bit is sampled 16 cycles (1 bit period) after

the previous one.

Synchronous Receiver

When configured for synchronous operation (SYNC = 1), the receiver samples the RXD

signal on each rising edge of the Baud Rate clock. If a low level is detected, it is consid-

ered as a start. Data bits, parity bit and stop bit are sampled and the receiver waits for

the next start bit. See example in Figure 40.

Parity Error

When a complete character is received, it is transferred to the US_RHR and the RXRDY

status bit in US_CSR is set. If US_RHR has not been read since the last transfer, the

OVRE status bit in US_CSR is set.

Each time a character is received, the receiver calculates the parity of the received data

bits, in accordance with the field PAR in US_MR. It then compares the result with the

received parity bit. If different, the parity error bit PARE in US_CSR is set.

Framing Error

Time-out

If a character is received with a stop bit at low level and with at least one data bit at high

level, a framing error is generated. This sets FRAME in US_CSR.

This function allows an idle condition on the RXD line to be detected. The maximum

delay for which the USART should wait for a new character to arrive while the RXD line

is inactive (high level) is programmed in US_RTOR (Receiver Time-out). When this reg-

ister is set to 0, no time-out is detected. Otherwise, the receiver waits for a first character

and then initializes a counter which is decremented at each bit period and reloaded at

each byte reception. When the counter reaches 0, the TIMEOUT bit in US_CSR is set.

The user can restart the wait for a first character with the STTTO (Start Time-out) bit in

US_CR.

Transmitter

The transmitter has the same behavior in both synchronous and asynchronous operat-

ing modes. Start bit, data bits, parity bit and stop bits are serially shifted, lowest

significant bit first, on the falling edge of the serial clock. See example in Figure 41.

The number of data bits is selected in the CHRL field in US_MR.

The parity bit is set according to the PAR field in US_MR.

The number of stop bits is selected in the NBSTOP field in US_MR.

When a character is written to US_THR (Transmit Holding), it is transferred to the Shift

Register as soon as it is empty. When the transfer occurs, the TXRDY bit in US_CSR is

set until a new character is written to US_THR. If Transmit Shift Register and US_THR

are both empty, the TXEMPTY bit in US_CSR is set.

The Time-guard function allows the transmitter to insert an idle state on the TXD line

between two characters. The duration of the idle state is programmed in US_TTGR

(Transmitter Time-guard). When this register is set to zero, no time-guard is generated.

Otherwise, the transmitter holds a high level on TXD after each transmitted byte during

the number of bit periods programmed in US_TTGR

Multi-drop Mode

When the field PAR in US_MR equals 11X (binary value), the USART is configured to

run in Multi-drop Mode. In this case, the parity error bit PARE in US_CSR is set when

data is detected with a parity bit set to identify an address byte. PARE is cleared with the

Reset Status Bits Command (RSTSTA) in US_CR. If the parity bit is detected low, iden-

tifying a data byte, PARE is not set.

The transmitter sends an address byte (parity bit set) when a Send Address Command

(SENDA) is written to US_CR. In this case, the next byte written to US_THR will be

transmitted as an address. After this any byte transmitted will have the parity bit cleared.

Break

A break condition is a low signal level which has a duration of at least one character

(including start/stop bits and parity).

Transmit Break

The transmitter generates a break condition on the TXD line when STTBRK is set in

US_CR (Control Register). In this case, the character present in the Transmit Shift Reg-

ister is completed before the line is held low.

To cancel a break condition on the TXD line, the STPBRK command in US_CR must be

set. The USART completes a minimum break duration of one character length. The TXD

line then returns to high level (idle state) for at least 12 bit periods to ensure that the end

of break is correctly detected. Then the transmitter resumes normal operation.

The BREAK is managed like a character:

•

The STTBRK and the STPBRK commands are performed only if the transmitter is

ready (bit TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)

The STTBRK command blocks the transmitter holding register (bit TXRDY is

cleared in US_CSR) until the break has started

A break is started when the Shift Register is empty (any previous character is fully

transmitted). TXEMPTY is cleared in US_CSR. The break blocks the transmitter

shift register until it is completed (high level for at least 12-bit periods after the

STPBRK command is requested)

In order to avoid unpredictable states:

•

STTBRK and STPBRK commands must not be requested at the same time

Once an STTBRK command is requested, further STTBRK commands are ignored

until the BREAK is ended (high level for at least 12-bit periods)

•

All STPBRK commands requested without a previous STTBRK command are

ignored

A byte written into the Transmit Holding Register while a break is pending but not

started (US_CSR.TXRDY = 0) is ignored

It is not permitted to write new data in the Transmit Holding Register while a break is

in progress (STPBRK has not been requested), even though TXRDY = 1 in

US_CSR.

•

A new STTBRK command must not be issued until an existing break has ended

(TXEMPTY = 1 in US_CSR)

The standard break transmission sequence is:

1. Wait for the transmitter ready

(US_CSR.TXRDY = 1)

2. Send the STTBRK command

(write 0x0200 to US_CR)

3. Wait for the transmitter ready

(TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)

4. Send the STPBRK command

(write 0x0400 to US_CR)

The next byte can then be sent:

5. Wait for the transmitter ready

(TXRDY = 1 in US_CSR)

6. Send the next byte

(write byte to US_THR)

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Each of these steps can be scheduled by using the interrupt if the bit TXRDY in US_IMR

is set. For character transmission, the USART channel must be enabled before sending

a break.

Receive Break

The receiver detects a break condition when all data, parity and stop bits are low. When

the low stop bit is detected, the receiver asserts the RXBRK bit in US_CSR. An end of

receive break is detected by a high level for at least 2/16 of a bit period in Asynchronous

Mode or at least one sample in Synchronous Mode. RXBRK is also asserted when an

end of break is detected.

Both the beginning and the end of a break can be detected by interrupt if the bit

US_IMR.RXBRK is set.

Peripheral Data

Controller

Each USART channel is closely connected to a corresponding Peripheral Data Control-

ler channel. One is dedicated to the receiver. The other is dedicated to the transmitter.

Note:

The PDC is disabled if 9-bit character length is selected (MODE9 = 1) in US_MR.

The PDC channel is programmed using US_TPR (Transmit Pointer) and US_TCR

(Transmit Counter) for the transmitter and US_RPR (Receive Pointer) and US_RCR

(Receive Counter) for the receiver. The status of the PDC is given in US_CSR by the

ENDTX bit for the transmitter and by the ENDRX bit for the receiver.

The pointer registers (US_TPR and US_RPR) are used to store the address of the

transmit or receive buffers. The counter registers (US_TCR and US_RCR) are used to

store the size of these buffers.

The receiver data transfer is triggered by the RXRDY bit and the transmitter data trans-

fer is triggered by TXRDY. When a transfer is performed, the counter is decremented

and the pointer is incremented. When the counter reaches 0, the status bit is set

(ENDRX for the receiver, ENDTX for the transmitter in US_CSR) which can be pro-

grammed to generate an interrupt. Transfers are then disabled until a new non-zero

counter value is programmed.

Interrupt Generation

Channel Modes

Each status bit in US_CSR has a corresponding bit in US_IER (Interrupt Enable) and

US_IDR (Interrupt Disable) which controls the generation of interrupts by asserting the

USART interrupt line connected to the Advanced Interrupt Controller. US_IMR (Interrupt

Mask Register) indicates the status of the corresponding bits.

When a bit is set in US_CSR and the same bit is set in US_IMR, the interrupt line is

asserted.

The USART can be programmed to operate in three different test modes, using the field

CHMODE in US_MR.

Automatic Echo Mode allows bit by bit re-transmission. When a bit is received on the

RXD line, it is sent to the TXD line. Programming the transmitter has no effect.

Local Loopback Mode allows the transmitted characters to be received. TXD and RXD

pins are not used and the output of the transmitter is internally connected to the input of

the receiver. The RXD pin level has no effect and the TXD pin is held high, as in idle

state.

Remote Loopback Mode directly connects the RXD pin to the TXD pin. The Transmitter

and the Receiver are disabled and have no effect. This mode allows bit by bit re-

transmission.

TC: Timer Counter

The AT91X40 Series features a Timer Counter block which includes three identical 16-

bit timer counter channels. Each channel can be independently programmed to perform

a wide range of functions including frequency measurement, event counting, interval

measurement, pulse generation, delay timing and pulse width modulation.

Each Timer Counter channel has 3 external clock inputs, 5 internal clock inputs, and 2

multi-purpose input/output signals which can be configured by the user. Each channel

drives an internal interrupt signal which can be programmed to generate processor

interrupts via the AIC (Advanced Interrupt Controller).

The Timer Counter block has two global registers which act upon all three TC channels.

The Block Control Register allows the three channels to be started simultaneously with

the same instruction. The Block Mode Register defines the external clock inputs for

each Timer Counter channel, allowing them to be chained.

Timer Counter

Description

The three Timer Counter channels are independent and identical in operation. The reg-

isters for channel programming are listed in Table 17.

Counter

Each Timer Counter channel is organized around a 16-bit counter. The value of the

counter is incremented at each positive edge of the selected clock. When the counter

has reached the value 0xFFFF and passes to 0x0000, an overflow occurs and the bit

COVFS in TC_SR (Status Register) is set.

The current value of the counter is accessible in real-time by reading TC_CV. The

counter can be reset by a trigger. In this case, the counter value passes to 0x0000 on

the next valid edge of the selected clock.

Clock Selection

At block level, input clock signals of each channel can either be connected to the exter-

nal inputs TCLK0, TCLK1 or TCLK2, or be connected to the configurable I/O signals

TIOA0, TIOA1 or TIOA2 for chaining by programming the TC_BMR (Block Mode).

Each channel can independently select an internal or external clock source for its

counter:

•

Internal clock signals: MCK/2, MCK/8, MCK/32,

MCK/128, MCK/1024

•

External clock signals: XC0, XC1 or XC2

123

1354D–ATARM–05/02

The selected clock can be inverted with the CLKI bit in TC_CMR (Channel Mode). This

allows counting on the opposite edges of the clock.

The burst function allows the clock to be validated when an external signal is high. The

BURST parameter in the Mode Register defines this signal (none, XC0, XC1, XC2).

Note:

In all cases, if an external clock is used, the duration of each of its levels must be longer

than the system clock (MCK) period. The external clock frequency must be at least 2.5

times lower than the system clock (MCK).

Clock Control

The clock of each counter can be controlled in two different ways: it can be enabled/dis-

abled and started/stopped.

•

The clock can be enabled or disabled by the user with the CLKEN and the CLKDIS

commands in the Control Register. In Capture Mode it can be disabled by an RB

load event if LDBDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. In Waveform Mode, it can be disabled

by an RC Compare event if CPCDIS is set to 1 in TC_CMR. When disabled, the

start or the stop actions have no effect: only a CLKEN command in the Control

Register can re-enable the clock. When the clock is enabled, the CLKSTA bit is set

in the Status Register.

•

The clock can also be started or stopped: a trigger (software, synchro, external or

compare) always starts the clock. The clock can be stopped by an RB load event in

Capture Mode (LDBSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) or a RC compare event in Waveform

Mode (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR). The start and the stop commands have effect

only if the clock is enabled.

Timer Counter Operating

Modes

Each Timer Counter channel can independently operate in two different modes:

•

Capture Mode allows measurement on signals

Waveform Mode allows wave generation

The Timer Counter Operating Mode is programmed with the WAVE bit in the TC Mode

Register. In Capture Mode, TIOA and TIOB are configured as inputs. In Waveform

Mode, TIOA is always configured to be an output and TIOB is an output if it is not

selected to be the external trigger.

Trigger

A trigger resets the counter and starts the counter clock. Three types of triggers are

common to both modes, and a fourth external trigger is available to each mode.

The following triggers are common to both modes:

•

Software Trigger: Each channel has a software trigger, available by setting SWTRG

in TC_CCR.

•

SYNC: Each channel has a synchronization signal SYNC. When asserted, this

signal has the same effect as a software trigger. The SYNC signals of all channels

are asserted simultaneously by writing TC_BCR (Block Control) with SYNC set.

•

Compare RC Trigger: RC is implemented in each channel and can provide a trigger

when the counter value matches the RC value if CPCTRG is set in TC_CMR.

The Timer Counter channel can also be configured to have an external trigger. In Cap-

ture Mode, the external trigger signal can be selected between TIOA and TIOB. In

Waveform Mode, an external event can be programmed on one of the following signals:

TIOB, XC0, XC1 or XC2. This external event can then be programmed to perform a trig-

ger by setting ENETRG in TC_CMR.

If an external trigger is used, the duration of the pulses must be longer than the system

clock (MCK) period in order to be detected.

Whatever the trigger used, it will be taken into account at the following active edge of the

selected clock. This means that the counter value may not read zero just after a trigger,

especially when a low frequency signal is selected as the clock.

125

1354D–ATARM–05/02

Capture Operating Mode This mode is entered by clearing the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode

Register). Capture Mode allows the TC Channel to perform measurements such as

pulse timing, frequency, period, duty cycle and phase on TIOA and TIOB signals which

are inputs.

Figure 46 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Capture

Mode.

Capture Registers A and B

(RA and RB)

Registers A and B are used as capture registers. This means that they can be loaded

with the counter value when a programmable event occurs on the signal TIOA.

The parameter LDRA in TC_CMR defines the TIOA edge for the loading of register A,

and the parameter LDRB defines the TIOA edge for the loading of Register B.

RA is loaded only if it has not been loaded since the last trigger or if RB has been loaded

since the last loading of RA.

RB is loaded only if RA has been loaded since the last trigger or the last loading of RB.

Loading RA or RB before the read of the last value loaded sets the Overrun Error Flag

(LOVRS) in TC_SR (Status Register). In this case, the old value is overwritten.

Trigger Conditions

Status Register

In addition to the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger, an

external trigger can be defined.

Bit ABETRG in TC_CMR selects input signal TIOA or TIOB as an external trigger.

Parameter ETRGEDG defines the edge (rising, falling or both) detected to generate an

external trigger. If ETRGEDG = 0 (none), the external trigger is disabled.

The following bits in the status register are significant in Capture Operating Mode.

•

CPCS: RC Compare Status

There has been an RC Compare match at least once since the last read of the

status

•

COVFS: Counter Overflow Status

The counter has attempted to count past $FFFF since the last read of the status

LOVRS: Load Overrun Status

RA or RB has been loaded at least twice without any read of the corresponding reg-

ister, since the last read of the status

•

LDRAS: Load RA Status

RA has been loaded at least once without any read, since the last read of the status

LDRBS: Load RB Status

RB has been loaded at least once without any read, since the last read of the status

ETRGS: External Trigger Status

An external trigger on TIOA or TIOB has been detected since the last read of the

status

Note:

All the status bits are set when the corresponding event occurs and they are automati-

cally cleared when the Status Register is read.

126

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

Waveform Operating

Mode

This mode is entered by setting the WAVE parameter in TC_CMR (Channel Mode

Register).

Waveform Operating Mode allows the TC Channel to generate 1 or 2 PWM signals with

the same frequency and independently programmable duty cycles, or to generate differ-

ent types of one-shot or repetitive pulses.

In this mode, TIOA is configured as output and TIOB is defined as output if it is not used

as an external event (EEVT parameter in TC_CMR).

Figure 47 shows the configuration of the TC Channel when programmed in Waveform

Operating Mode.

Compare Register A, B and C In Waveform Operating Mode, RA, RB and RC are all used as compare registers.

(RA, RB, and RC)

RA Compare is used to control the TIOA output. RB Compare is used to control the

TIOB (if configured as output). RC Compare can be programmed to control TIOA and/or

TIOB outputs.

RC Compare can also stop the counter clock (CPCSTOP = 1 in TC_CMR) and/or dis-

able the counter clock (CPCDIS = 1 in TC_CMR).

As in Capture Mode, RC Compare can also generate a trigger if CPCTRG = 1. A trigger

resets the counter so RC can control the period of PWM waveforms.

External Event/Trigger Conditions

An external event can be programmed to be detected on one of the clock sources (XC0,

XC1, XC2) or TIOB. The external event selected can then be used as a trigger.

The parameter EEVT in TC_CMR selects the external trigger. The parameter EEVT-

EDG defines the trigger edge for each of the possible external triggers (rising, falling or

both). If EEVTEDG is cleared (none), no external event is defined.

If TIOB is defined as an external event signal (EEVT = 0), TIOB is no longer used as

output and the TC channel can only generate a waveform on TIOA.

When an external event is defined, it can be used as a trigger by setting bit ENETRG in

TC_CMR.

As in Capture Mode, the SYNC signal, the software trigger and the RC compare trigger

are also available as triggers.

AT91X40 Series

1354D–ATARM–05/02

AT91X40 Series

Output Controller

The output controller defines the output level changes on TIOA and TIOB following an

event. TIOB control is used only if TIOB is defined as output (not as an external event).

The following events control TIOA and TIOB: software trigger, external event and RC

compare. RA compare controls TIOA and RB compare controls TIOB. Each of these

events can be programmed to set, clear or toggle the output as defined in the corre-

sponding parameter in TC_CMR.

The tables below show which parameter in TC_CMR is used to define the effect of each

event.

CPBS: RB Compare Status

There has been a RB Compare match at least once since the last read of the status

Note:

All the status bits are set when the corresponding event occurs and they are automati-

cally cleared when the Status Register is read.
