2. ARM® Cortex™-M3 and Memory Modules
This chapter discusses the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Microprocessor, and reviews the EM359x’s flash and RAM
memory modules as well as the Memory Protection Unit (MPU).
2.1. ARM® Cortex™-M3 Microprocessor
The EM359x integrates the ARM® CortexTM-M3 microprocessor, revision r1p1, developed by ARM Ltd., making
the EM359x a true System-on-Chip solution. The ARM® CortexTM-M3 is an advanced 32-bit modified Harvard
architecture processor that has separate internal program and data buses, but presents a unified program and data
address space to software. The word width is 32 bits for both the program and data sides. The AARM® CortexTMM3allows unaligned word and half-word data accesses to support efficiently-packed data structures.
The ARM® CortexTM-M3 clock speed is configurable to 6 MHz, 12 MHz, or 24 MHz. For normal operation 24 MHz
is preferred over 12 MHz due to improved performance for all applications and improved duty cycling for
applications using sleep modes. The 6 MHz operation can only be used when radio operations are not required
since the radio requires an accurate 12 MHz clock.
The ARM® CortexTM-M3 in the EM359x has also been enhanced to support two separate memory protection
levels. Basic protection is available without using the MPU, but normal operation uses the MPU. The MPU allows
for protecting unimplemented areas of the memory map to prevent common software bugs from interfering with
software operation. The architecture could also allow for separation of the networking stack from the application
code using a fine granularity RAM protection module. Errant writes are captured and details are reported to the
developer to assist in tracking down and fixing issues..

2.2.1. Flash Memory
2.2.1.1. Flash Overview
The EM359x provides a total of 256 or 512 kB kB of flash memory. The flash memory is provided in three separate
blocks:
Main
Flash Block (MFB)
Fixed Information Block (FIB)
Customer Information Block (CIB)
The MFB is divided into 2048-byte pages. The EM359x has either 128 or 256 pages. The CIB is a single 2048-byte
page. The FIB is a single 2048-byte page. The smallest erasable unit is one page and the smallest writable unit is
an aligned 16-bit half-word. The flash is rated to have a guaranteed 20,000 write/erase cycles. The flash cell has
been qualified for a data retention time of >100 years at room temperature.
Flash may be programmed either through the Serial Wire/JTAG interface or through bootloader software.
Programming flash through Serial Wire/JTAG requires the assistance of RAM-based utility code. Programming
through a bootloader requires Silicon Labs software for over-the-air loading or serial link loading.
2.2.1.2. Main Flash Block
The start of the MFB is mapped to both address 0x00000000 and address 0x08000000 in normal boot mode, but is
mapped only to address 0x08000000 in FIB monitor mode (see also section “7.5. Boot Configuration”, in Chapter
7, GPIO). Consequently, it is recommended that software intended to execute from the MFB is designed to operate
from the upper address, 0x08000000, since this address mapping is always available in all modes.
The MFB stores all program instructions and constant data. A small portion of the MFB is devoted to non-volatile
token storage using the Silicon Labs proprietary Simulated EEPROM system..
2.2.1.3. Fixed Information Block
The 2 kB FIB is used to store fixed manufacturing data including serial numbers and calibration values. The start of
the FIB is mapped to address 0x08080000. This block can only be programmed during production by Silicon Labs.
The FIB also contains a monitor program, which is a serial-link-only way of performing low-level memory access.
In FIB monitor mode (see section “7.5. Boot Configuration” in Chapter 7, GPIO), the start of the FIB is mapped to
both address 0x00000000 and address 0x08080000 so the monitor may be executed out of reset
2.2.1.4. Customer Information Block
The 2048 byte CIB can be used to store customer data. The start of the CIB is mapped to address 0x08080800.
The CIB cannot be executed.
The first eight half-words of the CIB are dedicated to special storage called option bytes. An option byte is a 16 bit
quantity of flash where the lower 8 bits contain the data and the upper 8 contain the inverse of the lower 8 bits. The
upper 8 bits are automatically generated by hardware and cannot be written to by the user, see Table 2.1.
The option byte hardware also verifies the inverse of each option byte when exiting from reset and generates an
error, which prevents the CPU from executing code, if a discrepancy is found. All of this is transparent to the user.

Note:
1. Option bytes 2 and 3 do not link to any specific hardware functionality other than the option byte loader. Therefore, they
are best used for storing data that requires a hardware verification of the data integrity.
Table 2 2 shows the mapping of the option bytes that are used for read and write protection of the flash. Each bit of
the flash write protection option bytes protects a 4 page region of the main flash block. The EM359x has up to 32
regions and therefore option bytes 4, 5, 6, and 7 control flash write protection. These write protection bits are active
low, and therefore the erased state of 0xFF disables write protection. Like read protection, write protection only
takes effect after a reset. Write protection not only prevents a write to the region, but also prevents page erasure.
Option byte 0 controls flash read protection. When option byte 0 is set to 0xA5, read protection is disabled. All other
values, including the erased state 0xFF, enable read protection when coming out of reset. The internal state of read
protection (active versus disabled) can only be changed by applying a full chip reset. If a debugger is connected to
the EM359x, the intrusion state is latched. Read protection is combined with this latched intrusion signal. When
both read protection and intrusion are set, all flash is disconnected from the internal bus. As a side effect, the CPU
cannot execute code since all flash is disconnected from the bus. This functionality prevents a debug tool from
being able to read the contents of any flash. The only means of clearing the intrusion signal is to disconnect the
debugger and reset the entire chip using the nRESET pin. By requiring a chip reset, a debugger cannot install or
execute malicious code that could allow the contents of the flash to be read.
The only way to disable read protection is to program option byte 0 with the value 0xA5. Option byte 0 must be
erased before it can be programmed. Erasing option byte 0 while read protection is active automatically masserases the main flash block. By automatically erasing main flash, a debugger cannot disable read protection and
readout the contents of main flash without destroying its contents.
In general, if read protection is active then write protection should also be active. This prevents an attacker from
reprogramming flash with malicious code that could readout the flash after the debugger is disconnected. To obtain
fully protected flash, both read protection and write protection should be active.

2.2.1.5. Simulated EEPROM
Silicon Labs software reserves 8 kB of the main flash block as a simulated EEPROM storage area for stack and
customer tokens. The simulated EEPROM storage area implements a wear-leveling algorithm to extend the
number of simulated EEPROM write cycles beyond the physical limit of 20,000 write cycles for which each flash
cell is qualified.
2.2.2. RAM
2.2.2.1. RAM Overview
The EM359x has 32 or 64 kB of static RAM on-chip. The start of RAM is mapped to address 0x20000000.
Although the ARM® CortexTM-M3 allows bit band accesses to this address region, the standard MPU configuration
does not permit use of the bit-band feature.
The RAM is physically connected to the AHB System bus and is therefore accessible to both the ARM® CortexTMM3 microprocessor and the debugger. The RAM can be accessed for both instruction and data fetches as bytes,
half words, or words. The standard MPU configuration does not permit execution from the RAM, but for special
purposes the MPU may be disabled. To the bus, the RAM appears as 32-bit wide memory and in most situations
has zero wait state read or write access. In the higher CPU clock mode the RAM requires one wait state. This is
handled by hardware transparent to the user application with no configuration required.
2.2.2.2. Direct Memory Access (DMA) to RAM
Several of the peripherals are equipped with DMA controllers allowing them to transfer data into and out of RAM
autonomously. This applies to the radio (802.15.4-2006 MAC), general purpose ADC, USB device controller and
the two serial controllers. In the case of the serial controllers, the DMA is full duplex so that a read and a write to
RAM may be requested at the same time. Thus there are six DMA channels in total. See Chapter 8, Section 8.7
and Chapter 11, Section 11.1.4 for a description of how to configure the serial controllers and ADC for DMA
operation. The DMA channels do not use AHB system bus bandwidth as they access the RAM directly.
The EM359x integrates a DMA arbiter that ensures fair access to the microprocessor as well as the peripherals
through a fixed priority scheme appropriate to the memory bandwidth requirements of each master. The priority
scheme is as follows, with the top peripheral being the highest priority:
1. USB Device Controller (where applicable)
2. General Purpose ADC
3. Serial Controller 2 Receive
4. Serial Controller 2 Transmit
5. Serial Controller 4 Receive
6. Serial Controller 4 Transmit
7. MAC
8. Serial Controller 1 Receive
9. Serial Controller 1 Transmit
10. Serial Controller 3 Receive
11. Serial Controller 3 Transmit
2.2.2.3. RAM Memory Protection
The EM359x integrates a memory protection mechanism through the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Memory Protection Unit
(MPU) described in the Memory Protection Unit section. The MPU may be used to protect any area of memory.
MPU configuration is normally handled by Silicon Labs software.
16
Rev 1.1
2.2.3. Registers
“ Appendix A—Register Address Table” provides a short description of all application-accessible registers within
the EM359x. Complete descriptions are provided at the end of each applicable peripheral’s description. The
registers are mapped to the system address space starting at address 0x40000000. These registers allow for the
control and configuration of the various peripherals and modules. The CPU only performs word-aligned accesses
on the system bus. The CPU performs a word aligned read-modify-write for all byte, half-word, and unaligned
writes and a word-aligned read for all reads. Silicon Labs recommends accessing all peripheral registers using
word-aligned addressing.
As with the RAM, the peripheral registers fall within an address range that allows for bit-band access by the ARM®
CortexTM-M3, but the standard MPU configuration does not allow access to this alias address range.
2.3. Memory Protection Unit
The EM359x includes the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Memory Protection Unit, or MPU. The MPU controls access rights
and characteristics of up to eight address regions, each of which may be divided into eight equal sub-regions.
Refer to the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical Reference Manual (DDI 0337A) for a detailed description of the MPU.
Silicon Labs software configures the MPU in a standard configuration and application software should not modify it.
The configuration is designed for optimal detection of illegal instruction or data accesses. If an illegal access is
attempted, the MPU captures information about the access type, the address being accessed, and the location of
the offending software. This simplifies software debugging and increases the reliability of deployed devices. As a
consequence of this MPU configuration, accessing RAM and register bit-band address alias regions is not
permitted, and generates a bus fault if attempted.
Rev 1.1

3. Interrupt System
The EM359x’s interrupt system is composed of two parts: a standard ARM® CortexTM-M3 Nested Vectored
Interrupt Controller (NVIC) that provides top-level interrupts, and a proprietary Event Manager (EM) that provides
second-level interrupts. The NVIC and EM provide a simple hierarchy. All second-level interrupts from the EM feed
into top-level interrupts in the NVIC. This two-level hierarchy allows for both fine granular control of interrupt
sources and coarse granular control over entire peripherals, while allowing peripherals to have their own interrupt
vector.
The Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) section provides a description of the NVIC and an overview of the
exception table (ARM nomenclature refers to interrupts as exceptions). The Event Manager section provides a
more detailed description of the Event Manager including a table of all top-level peripheral interrupts and their
second-level interrupt sources.
In practice, top-level peripheral interrupts are only used to enable or disable interrupts for an entire peripheral.
Second-level interrupts originate from hardware sources, and therefore are the main focus of applications using
interrupts.
3.1. Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC)
The ARM® CortexTM-M3 Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC) facilitates low-latency exception and interrupt
handling. The NVIC and the processor core interface are closely coupled, which enables low-latency interrupt
processing and efficient processing of late-arriving interrupts. The NVIC also maintains knowledge of the stacked
(nested) interrupts to enable tail-chaining of interrupts.
The ARM® CortexTM-M3 NVIC contains 10 standard interrupts that are related to chip and CPU operation and
management. In addition to the 10 standard interrupts, it contains 18 individually vectored peripheral interrupts
specific to the EM359x.
The NVIC defines a list of exceptions. These exceptions include not only traditional peripheral interrupts, but also
more specialized events such as faults and CPU reset. In the ARM® CortexTM-M3 NVIC, a CPU reset event is
considered an exception of the highest priority, and the stack pointer is loaded from the first position in the NVIC
exception table. The NVIC exception table defines all exceptions and their position, including peripheral interrupts.
The position of each exception is important since it directly translates to the location of a 32-bit interrupt vector for
each interrupt, and defines the hardware priority of exceptions. Each exception in the table is a 32-bit address that
is loaded into the program counter when that exception occurs. Equation 3.1 lists the entire exception table.
Exceptions 0 (stack pointer) through 15 (SysTick) are part of the standard ARM® CortexTM-M3 NVIC, while
exceptions 16 (Timer 1) through 35 (USB, where applicable) are the peripheral interrupts specific to the EM359x
peripherals. The peripheral interrupts are listed in greater detail in Table 3 2.

The NVIC also contains a software-configurable interrupt prioritization mechanism. The Reset, NMI, and Hard
Fault exceptions, in that order, are always the highest priority, and are not software-configurable. All other
exceptions can be assigned a 5-bit priority number, with low values representing higher priority. If any exceptions
have the same software-configurable priority, then the NVIC uses the hardware-defined priority. The hardwaredefined priority number is the same as the position of the exception in the exception table. For example, if IRQA
and IRQB both fire at the same time and have the same software-defined priority, the NVIC handles IRQA, with
priority number 28, first because it has a higher hardware priority than IRQB with priority number 29.
The top-level interrupts are controlled through five ARM® CortexTM-M3 NVIC registers: INT_CFGSET,
INT_CFGCLR, INT_PENDSET, INT_PENDCLR, and INT_ACTIVE. Writing 0 into any bit in any of these five
register is ineffective.
INT_CFGSET
- Writing 1 to a bit in INT_CFGSET enables that top-level interrupt.
- Writing 1 to a bit in INT_CFGCLR disables that top-level interrupt.
INT_PENDSET - Writing 1 to a bit in INT_PENDSET triggers that top-level interrupt.
INT_PENDCLR - Writing 1 to a bit in INT_PENDCLR clears that top-level interrupt.
INT_ACTIVE cannot be written to and is used for indicating which interrupts are currently active.
INT_CFGCLR
INT_PENDSET and INT_PENDCLR set and clear a simple latch; INT_CFGSET and INT_CFGCLR set and clear a
mask on the output of the latch. Interrupts may be pended and cleared at any time, but any pended interrupt will
not be taken unless the corresponding mask (INT_CFGSET) is set, which allows that interrupt to propagate. If an
INT_CFGSET bit is set and the corresponding INT_PENDSET bit is set, then the interrupt will propagate and be
taken. If INT_CFGSET is set after INT_PENDSET is set, then the interrupt will also propagate and be taken.
Interrupt flags (signals) from the top-level interrupts are level-sensitive.
The second-level interrupt registers, which provide control of the second-level Event Manager peripheral interrupts,
are described in the Event Manager section.
For further information on the NVIC and ARM® CortexTM-M3 exceptions, refer to the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical
Reference Manual and the ARM ARMv7-M Architecture Reference Manual.
3.2. Event Manager
While the standard ARM® CortexTM-M3 Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller provides top-level interrupts into the
CPU, the proprietary Event Manager provides second-level interrupts. The Event Manager takes a large variety of
hardware interrupt sources from the peripherals and merges them into a smaller group of interrupts in the NVIC.
Effectively, all second-level interrupts from a peripheral are “OR’d” together into a single interrupt in the NVIC. In
addition, the Event Manager provides missed indicators for the top-level peripheral interrupts with the register
INT_MISS.
The description of each peripheral’s interrupt configuration and flag registers can be found in the chapters of this
reference manual describing each peripheral. Figure 3.1 shows the Peripheral Interrupts Block Diagram.

Given a peripheral, ‘periph’, the Event Manager registers (INT_periphCFG and INT_periphFLAG) follow the form:
INT_periphCFG
enables and disables second-level interrupts. Writing 1 to a bit in the INT_periphCFG
register enables the second-level interrupt. Writing 0 to a bit in the INT_periphCFG register disables it. The
INT_periphCFG register behaves like a mask, and is responsible for allowing the INT_periphFLAG bits to
propagate into the top-level NVIC interrupts.
INT_periphFLAG indicates second-level interrupts that have occurred. Writing 1 to a bit in a
INT_periphFLAG register clears the second-level interrupt. Writing 0 to any bit in the INT_periphFLAG
register is ineffective. The INT_periphFLAG register is always active and may be set or cleared at any time,
meaning if any second-level interrupt occurs, then the corresponding bit in the INT_periphFLAG register is
set regardless of the state of INT_periphCFG.
If a bit in the INT_periphCFG register is set after the corresponding bit in the INT_periphFLAG register is set then
the second-level interrupt propagates into the top-level interrupts. The interrupt flags (signals) from the secondlevel interrupts into the top-level interrupts are level-sensitive. If a top-level NVIC interrupt is driven by a secondlevel EM interrupt, then the top-level NVIC interrupt cannot be cleared until all second-level EM interrupts are
cleared.
The INT_periphFLAG register bits are designed to remain set if the second-level interrupt event re-occurs at the
same moment as the INT_periphFLAG register bit is being cleared. This ensures the re-occurring second-level
interrupt event is not missed.
If another enabled second-level interrupt event of the same type occurs before the first interrupt event is cleared,
the second interrupt event is lost because no counting or queuing is used. However, this condition is detected and
stored in the top-level INT_MISS register to facilitate software detection of such problems. The INT_MISS register
is “acknowledged” in the same way as the INT_periphFLAG register—by writing a 1 into the corresponding bit to be
cleared.
Table 3.2 on page 22 provides a map of all peripheral interrupts. This map lists the top-level NVIC Interrupt bits and, if there is
one, the corresponding second-level EM Interrupt register bits that feed the top-level interrupts.

3.3. Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI)
The non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is a special case. Despite being one of the 10 standard ARM® CortexTM-M3
NVIC interrupts, it is sourced from the Event Manager like a peripheral interrupt. The NMI has two second-level
sources; failure of the 24 MHz crystal and watchdog low water mark.
1. Failure of the 24 MHz crystal: If the EM359x’s main clock, SYSCLK, is operating from the 24 MHz crystal
and the crystal fails, the EM359x detects the failure and automatically switches to the internal 12 MHz RC
clock. When this failure detection and switch has occurred, the EM359x triggers the CLK24M_FAIL
second-level interrupt, which then triggers the NMI.
2. Watchdog low water mark: If the EM359x’s watchdog is active and the watchdog counter has not been
reset for nominally 1.792 seconds, the watchdog triggers the WATCHDOG_INT second-level interrupt,
which then triggers the NMI.
3.4. Faults
Four of the exceptions in the NVIC are faults: Hard Fault, Memory Fault, Bus Fault, and Usage Fault. Of these,
three (Hard Fault, Memory Fault, and Usage Fault) are standard ARM® CortexTM-M3 exceptions.
The Bus Fault, though, is derived from EM359x-specific sources. The Bus Fault sources are recorded in the
SCS_AFSR register. Note that it is possible for one access to set multiple SCS_AFSR bits. Also note that MPU
configurations could prevent most of these bus fault accesses from occurring, with the advantage that illegal writes
are made precise faults. The four bus faults are:
WRONGSIZE
– Generated by an 8-bit or 16-bit read or write of an APB peripheral register. This fault can
also result from an unaligned 32-bit access.
PROTECTED – Generated by a user mode (unprivileged) write to a system APB or AHB peripheral or
protected RAM (see Chapter 2, Section 2.2.2.3).
RESERVED – Generated by a read or write to an address within an APB peripheral’s 4 kB block range, but
the address is above the last physical register in that block range. Also generated by a read or write to an
address above the top of RAM or flash.
MISSED – Generated by a second SCS_AFSR fault. In practice, this bit is not seen since a second fault
also generates a hard fault, and the hard fault preempts the bus fault

Figure 4.1. EM359x Block Diagram
4.1. Receive (RX) Path
The Rx path uses a low-IF, super-heterodyne receiver that rejects the image frequency using complex mixing and
polyphase filtering. In the analog domain, the input RF signal from the antenna is first amplified and mixed down to
a 4 MHz IF frequency. The mixers’ output is filtered, combined, and amplified before being sampled by a 12 MSPS
ADC. The digitized signal is then demodulated in the digital baseband. The filtering within the Rx path improves the
EM359x’s co-existence with other 2.4 GHz transceivers such as IEEE 802.15.4-2006, IEEE 802.11-2007, and
Bluetooth radios. The digital baseband also provides gain control of the Rx path, both to enable the reception of
small and large wanted signals and to tolerate large interferers.
4.1.1. RX Baseband
The EM359x Rx digital baseband implements a coherent demodulator for optimal performance. The baseband
demodulates the O-QPSK signal at the chip level and synchronizes with the IEEE 802.15.4-2006-defined
preamble. An automatic gain control (AGC) module adjusts the analog gain continuously every ¼ symbol until the
preamble is detected. Once detected, the gain is fixed for the remainder of the packet. The baseband despreads
the demodulated data into 4-bit symbols. These symbols are buffered and passed to the hardware-based MAC
module for packet assembly and filtering.
In addition, the Rx baseband provides the calibration and control interface to the analog Rx modules, including the
LNA, Rx baseband filter, and modulation modules. The Silicon Labs software includes calibration algorithms that
use this interface to reduce the effects of silicon process and temperature variation.

Rev 1.1
4.1.2. RSSI and CCA
The EM359x calculates the RSSI over every 8-symbol period as well as at the end of a received packet. The linear
range of RSSI is specified to be at least 40 dB over temperature. At room temperature, the linear range is
approximately 60 dB (-90 dBm to -30 dBm input signal).
The EM359x Rx baseband provides support for the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 RSSI CCA method. Clear channel reports
busy medium if RSSI exceeds its threshold.
4.2. Transmit (TX) Path
The EM359x Tx path produces an O-QPSK-modulated signal using the analog front end and digital baseband. The
area- and power-efficient Tx architecture uses a two-point modulation scheme to modulate the RF signal
generated by the synthesizer. The modulated RF signal is fed to the integrated PA and then out of the EM359x.
4.2.1. TX Baseband
The EM359x Tx baseband in the digital domain spreads the 4-bit symbol into its IEEE 802.15.4-2006-defined 32chip sequence. It also provides the interface for the Silicon Labs software to calibrate the Tx module to reduce
silicon process, temperature, and voltage variations.
4.2.2. TX_ACTIVE and nTX_ACTIVE Signals
For applications requiring an external PA, two signals are provided called TX_ACTIVE and nTX_ACTIVE. These
signals are the inverse of each other. They can be used for external PA power management and RF switching
logic. In transmit mode the Tx baseband drives TX_ACTIVE high, as described in Table 7.5, “GPIO Signal
Assignments,” on page 61. In receive mode the TX_ACTIVE signal is low. TX_ACTIVE is the alternate function of
PC5, and nTX_ACTIVE is the alternate function of PC6. See Chapter 7 GPIO for details of the alternate GPIO
functions. The digital I/O that provide these signals have a 4 mA output sink and source capability.
4.3. Calibration
The Silicon Labs software calibrates the radio using dedicated hardware resources.

4.4. Integrated MAC Module
The EM359x integrates most of the IEEE 802.15.4-2006 MAC requirements in hardware. This allows the ARM®
CortexTM-M3CPU to provide greater bandwidth to application and network operations. In addition, the hardware
acts as a first-line filter for unwanted packets. The EM359x MAC uses a DMA interface to RAM to further reduce
the overall ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU interaction when transmitting or receiving packets.
When a packet is ready for transmission, the Silicon Labs software configures the Tx MAC DMA by indicating the
packet buffer RAM location. The MAC waits for the backoff period, then switches the baseband to Tx mode and
performs channel assessment. When the channel is clear the MAC reads data from the RAM buffer, calculates the
CRC, and provides 4-bit symbols to the baseband. When the final byte has been read and sent to the baseband,
the CRC remainder is read and transmitted.
The MAC is in Rx mode most of the time. In Rx mode various format and address filters keep unwanted packets
from using excessive RAM buffers, and prevent the CPU from being unnecessarily interrupted. When the reception
of a packet begins, the MAC reads 4-bit symbols from the baseband and calculates the CRC. It then assembles the
received data for storage in a RAM buffer. Rx MAC DMA provides direct access to RAM. Once the packet has been
received additional data, which provides statistical information on the packet to the Silicon Labs software, is
appended to the end of the packet in the RAM buffer space.
The primary features of the MAC are:
CRC
generation, appending, and checking
timers and interrupts to achieve the MAC symbol timing
Automatic preamble and SFD pre-pending on Tx packets
Address recognition and packet filtering on Rx packets
Automatic acknowledgement transmission
Automatic transmission of packets from memory
Automatic transmission after backoff time if channel is clear (CCA)
Automatic acknowledgement checking
Time stamping received and transmitted messages
Attaching packet information to received packets (LQI, RSSI, gain, time stamp, and packet status)
IEEE 802.15.4-2006 timing and slotted/unslotted timing
Hardware
4.5. Packet Trace Interface (PTI)
The EM359x integrates a true PHY-level PTI for effective network-level debugging. It monitors all the PHY Tx and
Rx packets between the MAC and baseband modules without affecting their normal operation. It cannot be used to
inject packets into the PHY/MAC interface. This 500 kbps asynchronous interface comprises the frame signal
(PTI_EN, PA4) and the data signal (PTI_DATA, PA5). PTI is supported by the Silicon Labs development tools.
4.6. Random Number Generator
Thermal noise in the analog circuitry is digitized to provide entropy for a true random number generator (TRNG).
The TRNG produces 16-bit uniformly distributed numbers. The Silicon Labs software uses the TRNG to seed a
pseudo random number generator (PRNG). The TRNG is also used directly for cryptographic key generation.

5.1. Power Domains
The EM359x contains three power domains:
An
“always-on domain” containing all logic and analog cells required to manage the EM359x’s power
modes, including the GPIO controller and sleep timer. This domain must remain powered.
A “core domain” containing the CPU, Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller (NVIC), and peripherals. To save
power, this domain can be powered down using a mode called deep sleep. In the EM359x the core domain
also includes the RAM, which by default is powered down in deep sleep. An additional feature of the RAM
is that blocks of RAM cells can optionally be retained in deep sleep. This is configured using a register,
which must be written before entering deep sleep.
A “flash domain” containing the flash memory. This domain is managed by the power management
controller. During deep sleep the flash portion is completely powered down.
5.1.1. Internally Regulated Power
The preferred and recommended power configuration is to use the internal regulated power supplies to provide
power to the core and memory domains. The internal regulators (VREG_1V25 and VREG_1V8) generate nominal
1.25 V and 1.8 V supplies. The 1.25 V supply is internally routed to the core domain, RAM, and to an external pin.
The 1.8 V supply is routed to an external pin where it can be externally routed back into the chip to supply the
memory domain. The internal regulators are described in Chapter 6, Integrated Voltage Regulator.
When using the internal regulators, the always-on domain must be powered between 1.8 V and 3.6 V at all four
VDD_PADS pins.
When using the internal regulators, the VREG_1V8 regulator output pin (VREG_OUT) must be connected to the
VDD_MEM, VDD_PADSA, VDD_VCO, VDD_RF, VDD_IF, VDD_PRE, and VDD_SYNTH pins.
When using the internal regulators, the VREG_1V25 regulator output and supply requires a connection between
both VDD_CORE pins.
5.1.2. Externally Regulated Power
Optionally, the on-chip regulators may be left unused, and the core and memory domains may instead be powered
from external supplies. The nominal supply voltages of the internal power domains must be respected, that is core
and RAM at nominally 1.25 V and flash at nominally 1.8 V. A regulator enable signal, REG_EN, is provided for
control of external regulators. This is an open-drain signal that requires an external pull-up resistor. If REG_EN is
not required to control external regulators it can be disabled (see section 7.3, Forced Functions in Chapter 7,
GPIO).
Using an external regulator requires the always-on domain to be powered between 2.1 V and 3.6 V at all four
VDD_PADS pins.
When using an external regulator, the VREG_1V8 regulator output pin (VREG_OUT) must be left unconnected.
When using an external regulator, the external nominal 1.25 V supply has to be connected to VDD_CORE pins.
The external nominal 1.8 V supply must be connected to the VDD_MEM, VDD_PADSA, VDD_VCO, VDD_RF,
VDD_IF, VDD_PRE and VDD_SYNTH pins.

5.2. Resets
The EM359x resets are generated from a number of sources. Each of these reset sources feeds into central reset
detection logic that causes various parts of the system to be reset depending on the state of the system and the
nature of the reset event.
5.2.1. Reset Sources
5.2.1.1. Power-On-Resets (POR HV and POR LV)
The EM359x measures the voltage levels supplied to the three power domains. If a supply voltage drops below a
low threshold, then a reset is applied. The reset is released if the supply voltage rises above a high threshold.
There are three detection circuits for power-on-reset as follows:
POR
HV monitors the always-on domain supply voltage. Thresholds are given in Table 5.1.
LVcore monitors the core domain supply voltage. Thresholds are given in Table 5.2.
POR LVmem monitors the memory supply voltage. Thresholds are given in Table 5.3.

5.2.1.2. nRESET Pin
A single active low pin, nRESET, is provided to reset the system. This pin has a Schmitt triggered input.
To afford good noise immunity and resistance to switch bounce, the pin is filtered with the Reset Filter module and
generates the pin reset source, nRESET, to the Reset Generation module. Table 5.4 contains the specification for
the filter.

5.2.1.3. Watchdog Reset
The EM359x contains a watchdog timer (see also the Watchdog Timer section) that is clocked by the internal 1 kHz
timing reference. When the timer expires it generates the reset source WATCHDOG_RESET to the Reset
Generation module.
5.2.1.4. Software Reset
The ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU can initiate a reset under software control. This is indicated with the reset source
SYSRESETREQ to the Reset Generation module.
5.2.1.5. Option Byte Error
The flash memory controller contains a state machine that reads configuration information from the information
blocks in the flash at system start time. An error check is performed on the option bytes that are read from flash
and, if the check fails, an error is signaled that provides the reset source OPT_BYTE_ERROR to the Reset
Generation module.
If an option byte error is detected, the system restarts and the read and check process is repeated. If the error is
detected again the process is repeated but stops on the 3rd failure. The system is then placed into an emulated
deep sleep where recovery is possible. In this state, flash memory readout protection is forced active to prevent
secure applications from being compromised.
5.2.1.6. Debug Reset
The Serial Wire/JTAG Interface (SWJ) provides access to the SWJ Debug Port (SWJ-DP) registers. By setting the
register bit CDBGRSTREQ in the SWJ-DP, the reset source CDBGRSTREQ is provided to the Reset Generation
module.
5.2.1.7. JRST
One of the EM359x’s pins can function as the JTAG reset, conforming to the requirements of the JTAG standard.
This input acts independently of all other reset sources and, when asserted, does not reset any on-chip hardware
except for the JTAG TAP. If the EM359x is in the Serial Wire mode or if the SWJ is disabled, this input has no effect.
38
Rev 1.1
5.2.1.8. Deep Sleep Reset
The Power Management module informs the Reset Generation module of entry into and exit from the deep sleep
states. The deep sleep reset is applied in the following states: before entry into deep sleep, while removing power
from the memory and core domain, while in deep sleep, while waking from deep sleep, and while reapplying power
until reliable power levels have been detect by POR LV.
The Power Management module allows a special emulated deep sleep state that retains memory and core domain
power while in deep sleep.
5.2.2. Reset Recording
The EM359x records the last reset condition that generated a restart to the system. The reset conditions recorded
are as follows:
POR
HV
LV
nRESET
watchdog
always-on domain power supply failure
core domain (POR LVcore) or memory domain (POR LVmem) power supply failure
pin reset asserted
watchdog timer expired
SYSRESETREQ
software reset by SYSERSETREQ from ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU
wake-up from deep sleep
error check failed when reading option bytes from flash
POR
deep
sleep wakeup
option byte error
Note: While CPU Lockup is shown as a reset condition in software, CPU Lockup is not specifically a reset event. CPU Lockup
is set to indicate that the CPU entered an unrecoverable exception. Execution stops but a reset is not applied. This is so
that a debugger can interpret the cause of the error. Silicon Labs recommends that in a live application (in other words,
no debugger attached) the watchdog be enabled by default so that the EM359x can be restarted.
5.2.3. Reset Generation Module
The Reset Generation module responds to reset sources and generates the following reset signals:
PORESET
Reset of the ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU and ARM® CortexTM-M3 System Debug
components (Flash Patch and Breakpoint, Data Watchpoint and Trace,
Instrumentation Trace Macrocell, Nested Vectored Interrupt Controller). ARM
defines PORESET as the region that is reset when power is applied.
SYSRESET
Reset of the ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU without resetting the Core Debug and
System Debug components, so that a live system can be reset without disturbing
the debug configuration.
Reset to the SWJ’s AHB Access Port (AHB-AP)
Peripheral reset for always-on power domain, for peripherals that are required to
retain their configuration across a deep sleep cycle

5.3.1. High-Frequency Internal RC Oscillator (OSCHF)
The high-frequency RC oscillator (OSCHF) is used as the default system clock source when power is applied to
the core domain. The nominal frequency coming out of reset is 12 MHz and Silicon Labs software calibrates this
clock to 12 MHz. Table 5 7 contains the specification for the high frequency RC oscillator.
Most peripherals, excluding the radio peripheral, are fully functional using the OSCHF clock source. Application
software must be aware that peripherals are clocked at different speeds depending on whether OSCHF or
OSC24M is being used. Since the frequency step of OSCHF is 0.3 MHz and the high-frequency crystal oscillator is
used for calibration, the calibrated accuracy of OSCHF is ±150 kHz ±40 ppm. The UART and ADC peripherals may
not be usable due to the lower accuracy of the OSCHF frequency.

5.3.2. High-Frequency Crystal Oscillator (OSC24M)
The high-frequency crystal oscillator (OSC24M) requires an external 24 MHz crystal with an accuracy of ±40 ppm.
Based upon the application’s bill of materials and current consumption requirements, the external crystal may
cover a range of ESR requirements. Table 5.6 contains the specification for the high frequency crystal oscillator.
The crystal oscillator has a software-programmable bias circuit to minimize current consumption. Silicon Labs
software configures the bias circuit for minimum current consumption.
All peripherals including the radio peripheral are fully functional using the OSC24M clock source. Application
software must be aware that peripherals are clocked at different speeds depending on whether OSCHF or
OSC24M is being used.
If the 24 MHz crystal fails, a hardware failover mechanism forces the system to switch back to the high-frequency
RC oscillator as the main clock source, and a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) is signaled to the ARM® CortexTM-M3
NVIC.

A low-frequency RC oscillator (OSCRC) is provided as an internal timing reference. The nominal frequency coming

(OSCRC) Silicon Labs software calibrates a fractional-N divider to produce a 1 kHz reference clock, CLK1K.

5.3.4. Low-Frequency Crystal Oscillator (OSC32K)
A low-frequency 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator (OSC32K) is provided as an optional timing reference for on-chip
timers. This oscillator is designed for use with an external watch crystal. When using the 32.768 kHz crystal, you
must connect it to GPIO PC6 and PC7, and must configure these two GPIOs for analog input. Alternatively, when
PC7 is configured as a digital input, PC7 can accept an external digital clock input instead of a 32.786 kHz crystal.
The digital clock input signal must be a 1 V peak-to-peak sine wave with a DC bias of 0.5 V. Refer to Chapter 7,
GPIO, for GPIO configuration details. Using the low-frequency oscillator, crystal or digital clock, is enabled through
Silicon Labs software.

5.3.5. Clock Switching
The EM359x has two switching mechanisms for the main system clock, providing four clock modes. Table 5.10
shows these clock modes and how they affect the internal clocks.
The register bit OSC24M_CTRL_OSC24M_SEL in the OSC24M_CTRL register switches between the highfrequency RC oscillator (OSCHF) and the high-frequency crystal oscillator (OSC24M) as the main system clock
(SYSCLK). The peripheral clock (PCLK) is always half the frequency of SYSCLK.
The register bit CPU_CLKSEL_FIELD in the CPU_CLKSEL register switches between PCLK and SYSCLK to
produce the ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU clock (FCLK). The default and preferred mode of operation is to run the
CPU at the higher PCLK frequency, 24 MHz, to give higher processing performance for all applications and
improved duty cycling for applications using sleep modes.
The register bit USBSUSP_CLKSEL_FIELD in the CPU_CLKSEL register is used to divide the whole clock tree by
4 when the EM359x (variants that support USB) is operating as a bus-powered USB device and USB suspends the
EM359x. Refer to Chapter 9, USB Device, for USB details.
In addition to these modes, further automatic control is invoked by hardware when flash programming is enabled.
To ensure accuracy of the flash controller’s timers, the FCLK frequency is forced to 12 MHz during flash
programming and erase operations.

5.4. System Timers
5.4.1. Watchdog Timer
The EM359x integrates a watchdog timer which can be enabled to provide protection against software crashes and
ARM® CortexTM-M3 CPU lockup. By default, it is disabled at power up of the always-on power domain. The
watchdog timer uses the calibrated 1 kHz clock (CLK1K) as its reference and provides a nominal 2.048 s timeout.
A low water mark interrupt occurs at 1.792 s and triggers an NMI to the ARM® CortexTM-M3 NVIC as an early
warning. When the watchdog is enabled, the timer must be periodically reset before it expires. The watchdog timer
is paused when the debugger halts the ARM® CortexTM-M3. Additionally, the Silicon Labs software that
implements deep sleep functionality disables the watchdog when entering deep sleep and restores the watchdog,
if it was enabled, when exiting deep sleep.
Silicon Labs software provides an API for enabling, resetting, and disabling the watchdog timer.
5.4.2. Sleep Timer
The EM359x integrates a 32-bit timer dedicated to system timing and waking from sleep at specific times. The
sleep timer can use either the calibrated 1 kHz reference (CLK1K), or the 32 kHz crystal clock (CLK32K). The
default clock source is the internal 1 kHz clock.
The sleep timer has a prescaler, a divider of the form 2^N, where N can be programmed from 1 to 2^15. This
divider allows for very long periods of sleep to be timed. Silicon Labs software’s default configuration is to use the
prescaler to always produce a 1024 Hz sleep timer tick. The timer provides two compare outputs and wrap
detection, all of which can be used to generate an interrupt or a wake up event.
While it is possible to do so, by default the sleep timer is not paused when the debugger halts the ARM® CortexTMM3. Silicon Labs does not advise pausing the sleep timer when the debugger halts the CPU.
To save current during deep sleep, the low-frequency internal RC oscillator (OSCRC) can be turned off. If OSCRC
is turned off during deep sleep and a low-frequency 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is not being used, then the sleep
timer will not operate during deep sleep and sleep timer wake events cannot be used to wake up the EM359x.
Silicon Labs software provides the system timer software API for interacting with the sleep timer as well as using
the sleep timer and RC oscillator during deep sleep.
5.4.3. Event Timer
The SysTick timer is an ARM® standard system timer in the NVIC. The SysTick timer can be clocked from either
the FCLK (the clock going into the CPU) or the Sleep Timer clock. FCLK is either the SYSCLK or PCLK as selected
by CPU_CLKSEL register (see “5.3.5. Clock Switching” ).
Rev 1.1

5.5. Power Management
The EM359x’s power management system is designed to achieve the lowest deep sleep current consumption
possible while still providing flexible wakeup sources, timer activity, and debugger operation. The EM359x has four
main sleep modes:
Idle
Sleep: Puts the CPU into an idle state where execution is suspended until any interrupt occurs. All
power domains remain fully powered and nothing is reset.
Deep Sleep 1: The primary deep sleep state. In this state, the core power domain is fully powered down
and the sleep timer is active.
Deep Sleep 2: The same as Deep Sleep 1 except that the sleep timer is inactive to save power. In this
mode the sleep timer cannot wake up the EM359x.
Deep Sleep 0 (also known as Emulated Deep Sleep): The chip emulates a true deep sleep without
powering down the core domain. Instead, the core domain remains powered and all peripherals except the
system debug components (ITM, DWT, FPB, NVIC) are held in reset. The purpose of this sleep state is to
allow EM359x software to perform a deep sleep cycle while maintaining debug configuration such as
breakpoints.
CSYSPWRUPREQ, CDBGPWRUPREQ, and the corresponding CSYSPWRUPACK and CDBGPWRUPACK are
bits in the debug port’s CTRL/STAT register in the SWJ. For further information on these bits and the operation of
the SWJ-DP please refer to the ARM Debug Interface v5 Architecture Specification (ARM IHI 0031A).
For further power savings when not in deep sleep, the USB, ADC, Timer 1, Timer 2, and Serial Controller 1-4
peripherals can be individually disabled through the PERIPHERAL_DISABLE register. Disabling a peripheral
saves power by stopping the clock feeding that peripheral. A peripheral should only be disabled through the
PERIPHERAL_DISABLE register when the peripheral is idle and disabled through the peripheral's own
configuration registers, otherwise undefined behavior may occur. When a peripheral is disabled through the
PERIPHERAL_DISABLE register, all registers associated with that peripheral ignore all subsequent writes, and
subsequent reads return the value seen in the register at the moment the peripheral is disabled.
5.5.1. Wake Sources
When in deep sleep the EM359x can be returned to the running state in a number of ways, and the wake sources
are split depending on deep sleep 1 or deep sleep 2.
The following wake sources are available in both deep sleep 1 and 2.
Wake
on GPIO activity: Wake due to change of state on any GPIO.
Wake on serial controller 1: Wake due to a change of state on GPIO Pin PB2.
Wake on serial controller 2: Wake due to a change of state on GPIO Pin PA2.
Wake on serial controller 3 or 4: Invoked using “Wake on GPIO activity.”
Wake on IRQD: Wake due to a change of state on IRQD. Since IRQD can be configured to point to any
GPIO, this wake source is another means of waking on any GPIO activity.
Wake on setting of CDBGPWRUPREQ: Wake due to setting the CDBGPWRUPREQ bit in the debug port
in the SWJ.
Wake on setting of CSYSPWRUPREQ: Wake due to setting the CSYSPWRUPREQ bit in the debug port in
the SWJ.
The following sources are only available in deep sleep 1 since the sleep timer is not active in deep sleep 2.
Wake
on sleep timer compare A.
Wake on sleep timer compare B.
Wake on sleep timer wrap.
The following source is only available in deep sleep 0 since the SWJ is required to write a memory mapped register
to set this wake source and the SWJ only has access to some registers in deep sleep 0.
Wake on write to the WAKE_CORE register bit.
The Wakeup Recording module monitors all possible wakeup sources. More than one wakeup source may be
recorded because events are continually being recorded (not just in deep-sleep) and another event may happen
between the first wake event and when the EM359x wakes up.

Figure 5.3. Power Management State Diagram
In normal operation an application may request one of two low power modes through program execution:
Idle
Sleep is achieved by executing a WFI instruction while the SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex System
Control register (SCS_SCR) is clear. This puts the CPU into an idle state where execution is suspended
until an interrupt occurs. This is indicated by the state at the bottom of the diagram. Power is maintained to
the core logic of the EM359x during the Idle Sleeping state.
Deep sleep is achieved by executing a WFI instruction with the SLEEPDEEP bit in SCS_SCR set. This
triggers the state transitions around the main loop of the diagram, resulting in powering down the EM359x’s
core logic, and leaving only the always-on domain powered. Wake up is triggered when one of the predetermined events occurs.
If a deep sleep is requested the EM359x first enters a pre-deep sleep state. This state prevents any section of the
chip from being powered off or reset until the SWJ goes idle (by clearing CSYSPWRUPREQ). This pre-deep sleep
state ensures debug operations are not interrupted.
In the deep sleep state the EM359x waits for a wake up event which will return it to the running state. In powering
up the core logic the ARM® CortexTM-M3 is put through a reset cycle and Silicon Labs software restores the stack
and application state to the point where deep sleep was invoked.
Rev 1.1
47
5.5.3. Further Options for Deep Sleep
By default the low-frequency internal RC oscillator (OSCRC) is running during deep sleep (known as 
deep sleep 1).
To conserver power, OSCRC can be turned of during deep sleep. This mode is known as deep sleep 2. Since the
OSCRC is disabled, the sleep timer and watchdog timer do not function and cannot wake the chip unless the lowfrequency 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is used. Non-timer based wake sources continue to function. Once a wake
event does occur, OSCRC is restarted and comes back up.
5.5.4. RAM Retention in Deep Sleep
The RAM can optionally be configured using the RAM_RETAIN register to select banks of locations to be nonvolatile. In deep sleep those banks selected are powered by a low leakage internal regulator that remains on during
deep sleep, powered from the always-on supply.
The RAM_RETAIN[15:0] register acts as a bit map of 4k byte blocks whereby setting a bit to 1 indicates that a bank
is to be retained. The default condition of 0xFFFF retains all banks in the RAM.
The bits in RAM_RETAIN are arranged so that bit [0] sets the retention option for bank 0, addresses from
0x20000000 to 0x20000FFF, bit [1] for addresses 0x20001000 to 0x20001FFF, and so on up to bit [15] for
addresses 0x2000F000 to 0x2000FFFF. It is not necessary for retained banks to be contiguous. Some banks may
need to be retained for correct operation of the stack and others may be defined according to the application.
5.5.5. Use of Debugger with Sleep Modes
The debugger communicates with the EM359x using the SWJ.
When the debugger is logically connected, the CDBGPWRUPREQ bit in the debug port in the SWJ is set, and the
EM359x will only enter deep sleep 0 (the Emulated Deep Sleep state). The CDBGPWRUPREQ bit indicates that a
debug tool is logically connected to the chip and therefore debug state may be in the system debug components.
To maintain the debug state in the system debug components only deep sleep 0 may be used, since deep sleep 0
will not cause a power cycle or reset of the core domain. The CSYSPWRUPREQ bit in the debug port in the SWJ
indicates that a debugger wants to access memory actively in the EM359x. Therefore, whenever the
CSYSPWRUPREQ bit is set while the EM359x is awake, the EM359x cannot enter deep sleep until this bit is
cleared. This ensures the EM359x does not disrupt debug communication into memory.
Clearing both CSYSPWRUPREQ and CDBGPWRUPREQ allows the EM359x to achieve a true deep sleep state
(deep sleep 1 or 2). Both of these signals also operate as wake sources, so that when a debugger logically
connects to the EM359x and begins accessing the chip, the EM359x automatically comes out of deep sleep. When
the debugger initiates access while the EM359x is in deep sleep, the SWJ intelligently holds off the debugger for a
brief period of time until the EM359x is properly powered and ready.
Note: The SWJ-DP signals CSYSPWRUPREQ and CDBGPWRUPREQ are only reset by a power-on-reset or a debugger.
Physically connecting or disconnecting a debugger from the chip will not alter the state of these signals. A debugger
must logically communicate with the SWJ-DP to set or clear these two signals.

5.6. Security Accelerator
The EM359x contains a hardware AES encryption engine accessible from the ARM® CortexTM-M3. NIST-based CCM,
CCM*, CBC-MAC, and CTR modes are implemented in hardware. These modes are described in the IEEE 802.15.42006 specification, with the exception of CCM*, which is described in the ZigBee Security Services Specification
1.0.
50
Rev 1.1
6. Integrated Voltage Regulator
The EM359x integrates two low dropout regulators to provide 1.8 V and 1.25 V power supplies, as detailed in Table
6 1. The 1V8 regulator supplies the analog and memories, and the 1V25 regulator supplies the digital core. In deep
sleep the voltage regulators are disabled.
When enabled, the 1V8 regulator steps down the pads supply voltage (VDD_PADS) from a nominal 3.0 V to 1.8 V.
The regulator output pin (VREG_OUT) must be decoupled externally with a suitable capacitor. VREG_OUT should
be connected to the 1.8 V supply pins VDDA, VDD_RF, VDD_VCO, VDD_SYNTH, VDD_IF, and VDD_MEM. The
1V8 regulator can supply a maximum of 50 mA.
When enabled, the 1V25 regulator steps down VDD_PADS to 1.25 V. The regulator output pin (VDD_CORE, Pin
17) must be decoupled externally with a suitable capacitor. It should connect to the other VDD_CORE pin (Pin 44).
The 1V25 regulator can supply a maximum of 10 mA.
The regulators are controlled by the digital portion of the chip as described in Chapter 5, System Modules.
An example of decoupling capacitors and PCB layout can be found in the application notes (see the various
EM359x reference design documentation).

An external 1.8 V regulator may replace both internal regulators. The EM359x can control external regulators
during deep sleep using open-drain GPIO PA7, as described in Chapter 7, GPIO. The EM359x drives PA7 low
during deep sleep to disable the external regulator and an external pull-up is required to release this signal to
indicate that supply voltage should be provided. Current consumption increases approximately 2 mA when using
an external regulator. When using an external regulator the internal regulators should be disabled through Silicon
Labs software. The always-on domain needs to be minimally powered at 2.1 V, and cannot be powered from the
external 1.8 V regulator.

A Schmitt trigger converts the GPIO pin voltage to a digital input value. The digital input signal is then always
routed to the GPIO_PxIN register; to the alternate inputs of associated peripheral devices; to wake detection logic
if wake detection is enabled; and, for certain pins, to interrupt generation logic. Configuring a pin in analog mode
disconnects the digital input from the pin and applies a high logic level to the input of the Schmitt trigger.
Only one device at a time can control a GPIO output. The output is controlled in normal output mode by the
GPIO_PxOUT register and in alternate output mode by a peripheral device. When in input mode or analog mode,
digital output is disabled.
Rev 1.1
53
7.1. GPIO Ports
The 32 GPIO pins are grouped into five ports: PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE. Individual GPIOs within a port are
numbered according to their bit positions within the GPIO registers.
Note: Because GPIO port registers’ functions are identical, the notation Px is used here to refer to PA, PB, PC, PD, or PE. For
example, GPIO_PxIN refers to the registers GPIO_PAIN, GPIO_PBIN, GPIO_PCIN, GPIO_PDIN, and GPIO_PEIN.
Each of the five GPIO ports has the following registers whose low-order eight bits correspond to the port’s eight
GPIO pins:
GPIO_PxIN
(input data register) returns the pin level (unless in analog mode).
GPIO_PxOUT (output data register) controls the output level in normal output mode.
GPIO_PxCLR (clear output data register) clears bits in GPIO_PxOUT.
GPIO_PxSET (set output data register) sets bits in GPIO_PxOUT.
GPIO_PxWAKE (wake monitor register) specifies the pins that can wake the EM359x.
In addition to these registers, each port has a pair of configuration registers, GPIO_PxCFGH and GPIO_PxCFGL.
These registers specify the basic operating mode for the port’s pins. GPIO_PxCFGL configures the pins Px[3:0]
and GPIO_PxCFGH configures the pins Px[7:4]. For brevity, the notation GPIO_PxCFGH/L refers to the pair of
configuration registers.
Five GPIO pins (PA6, PA7, PB6, PB7 and PC0) can sink and source higher current than standard GPIO outputs.
Refer to the Ember EM359x Data Sheet, Table 3-5, Digital I/O Specifications in Chapter 3, Electrical
Characteristics, for more information.
7.2. Configuration
Each pin has a 4-bit configuration value in the GPIO_PxCFGH/L register. The various GPIO modes and their 4 bit
configuration values are shown in Table 7.1.

If a GPIO has two peripherals that can be the source of alternate output mode data, then other registers in addition
to GPIO_PxCFGH/L determine which peripheral controls the output.
Several GPIOs share an alternate output with Timer 2 and the Serial Controllers. Bits in Timer 2’s TIM2_OR
register control routing Timer 2 outputs to different GPIOs. Bits in Timer 2’s TIM2_CCER register enable Timer 2
outputs. When Timer 2 outputs are enabled they override Serial Controller outputs. Table 7.2 indicates the GPIO
mapping for Timer 2 outputs depending on the bits in the register TIM2_OR. Refer to Chapter 10, General Purpose
Timers, for complete information on timer configuration.

For outputs assigned to the serial controllers, the serial interface mode registers (SCx_MODE) determine how the
GPIO pins are used.
The alternate outputs of PA4 and PA5 can either provide packet trace data (PTI_EN and PTI_DATA), or
synchronous CPU trace data (TRACEDATA2 and TRACEDATA3). The selection of packet trace or CPU trace is
made through the Silicon Labs software.
The alternate outputs of PB0 and PC1 can also provide TRACEDATA2 and TRACEDATA3 for situations where
packet trace is also required.
If a GPIO does not have an associated peripheral in alternate output mode, its output is set to 0.
7.3. Forced Functions
For some GPIOs the GPIO_PxCFGH/L configuration will be overridden. These functions are forced when the
EM359x is reset and remain forced until software or an external debugger overrides the forced functions. Table 7.3
shows the GPIOs that have different functions forced on them regardless of the GPIO_PxCFGH/L registers.

*Note: The choice of PC4’s forced signal is normally controlled by an external debug tool. JTMS is forced when the SWJ is in
JTAG mode and SWDIO is forced when the SWJ is in Serial Wire mode. But, when GPIO_DEBUGDIS is set and PC4
is configured in SWDIO mode, then SWDIO is the only functionality available on PC4.
PA7 is forced to be the regulator enable signal, REG_EN. If an external regulator is used and controlled through
REG_EN, PA7’s forced functionality must not be overridden. If an external regulator is not used, REG_EN may be
disabled and PA7 may be reclaimed as a normal GPIO. Disabling REG_EN is done by clearing the bit
GPIO_EXTREGEN in the GPIO_DBGCFG register.
PC0, PC2, PC3, and PC4 are forced to be the Serial Wire and JTAG (SWJ) Interface. When the EM359x resets,
these four GPIOs are forced to operate in JTAG mode. Switching the debug interface between JTAG mode and
Serial Wire mode can only be accomplished by the external debug tool and cannot be affected by software
executing on the EM359x.
It is possible to either reclaim all of the four debugger pins (PC0, PC2, PC3, and P4), or reclaim the JTAG only
debugger pins (PC0, PC2, and PC3) leaving Serial Wire operational.
Note: Disabling all debug functionality prevents external debug tools from operating, including flash programming and highlevel debug tools.
Disabling the entire SWJ debugger interface is accomplished by setting the GPIO_DEBUGDIS bit in the
GPIO_DBGCFG register and not having GPIO PC4 configured in SWDIO mode. In this configuration all debuggerrelated pins (PC0, PC2, PC3, PC4) behave as standard GPIOs.
Disabling only the JTAG debugger interface is accomplished by setting the GPIO_DEBUGDIS bit and configuring
PC4 in SWDIO mode. When GPIO_DEBUGDIS is set and GPIO PC4 is in SWDIO mode, JTAG debugger-related
pins (PC0, PC2, PC3) behave as standard GPIOs. Note that allowing the PC4 GPIO to operate as SWDIO does
not affect the internal debug state of the chip.
If the SWJ debugger interface is already active (in either mode), the bit GPIO_DEBUGDIS cannot be set. When
GPIO_DEBUGDIS is set, the SWJ debugger interface can be reclaimed by activating the SWJ while the EM359x is
held in reset. If the SWJ debugger interface is forced active in this manner, the bit GPIO_FORCEDBG is set in the
GPIO_DBGSTAT register. The SWJ debugger interface is defined as active when the CDBGPWRUPREQ signal, a
bit in the debug port’s CRTL/STAT register in the SWJ, is set high by an external debug tool.
If the SWJ debugger interface is active, and switched into Serial Wire mode (by the external debugger), then the
JTAG only pins (PC0, PC2, PC3) behave as standard GPIOs. The use of SWDIO mode for GPIO PC4 allows
reclaiming the JTAG only pins when an external debugger is not used.
7.4. Reset
A full chip reset is one due to power on (low or high voltage), the nRESET pin, the watchdog, or the
SYSRESETREQ bit. A full chip reset affects the GPIO configuration as follows:
The
GPIO_PxCFGH/L configurations of all pins are configured as floating inputs.
The GPIO_EXTREGEN bit is set in the GPIO_DBGCFG register, which overrides the normal configuration
for PA7.
The GPIO_DEBUGDIS bit in the GPIO_DBGCFG register is cleared, allowing Serial Wire/JTAG access to
override the normal configuration of PC0, PC2, PC3, and PC4.
7.5. Boot Configuration
nBOOTMODE is a special alternate function of PA5 that is active only during a pin reset (nRESET) or a power-onreset of the always-powered domain (POR HV). If nBOOTMODE is asserted (pulled or driven low) when coming
56
Rev 1.1
out of reset, the processor starts executing an embedded serial-link-only monitor instead of its normal program.
While in reset and during the subsequent power-on-reset startup delay (512 OSCHF clocks), PA5 is automatically
configured as an input with a pull-up resistor. At the end of this time, the EM359x samples nBOOTMODE: a high
level selects normal boot mode, and a low level selects the embedded monitor. Figure 7 2 shows the timing
parameters for invoking monitor mode from a pin (nRESET) reset. Because OSCHF is running uncalibrated during
the reset sequence, the time for 512 OSCHF clocks may vary as indicated.

Figure 7.2. nBOOTMODE and nRESET Timing
Timing for a power-on-reset is similar except that OSCHF does not begin oscillating until up to 70 µsec after both
core and HV supplies are valid. Combined with the maximum 250 µsec allowed for HV to ramp from 0.5 V to 1.7 V,
an additional 320 µsec may be added to the 512 OSCHF clocks until nBOOTMODE is sampled.
If the mode is selected (nBOOTMODE is low after 512 clocks), the FIB monitor software begins execution. In order
to filter out inadvertent jumps into the monitor, the FIB monitor re-samples the nBOOTMODE signal after a 3 ms
delay. If the signal is still low, then the device stays in monitor mode. If the signal is high, then monitor mode is
exited and the normal program begins execution. In summary, the nBOOTMODE signal must be held low for 4 ms
in order to properly invoke the monitor mode.
After nBOOTMODE has been sampled, PA5 is configured as a floating input like the other GPIO configurations.
The GPIO_BOOTMODE bit in the GPIO_DBGSTAT register captures the state of nBOOTMODE so that software
may act on this signal if required.
Note: To avoid inadvertently asserting nBOOTMODE, PA5’s capacitive load may not exceed 250 pF.
7.6. GPIO Modes
7.6.1. Analog Mode
Analog mode enables analog functions, and disconnects a pin from the digital input and output logic. Only the
following GPIO pins have analog functions:
PA0
and PA1 can be the differential IO pins for the USB device.
PA4, PA5, PB5, PB6, PB7, and PC1 can be analog inputs to the ADC.
PB0 can be an external analog voltage reference input to the ADC, or it can output the internal analog
voltage reference from the ADC. The Silicon Labs software selects an internal or external voltage
reference.
PC6 and PC7 can connect to an optional 32.768 kHz crystal.
Note: When an external timing source is required, a 32.768 kHz crystal is commonly connected to PC6 and PC7. Alternatively,
when PC7 is configured as a digital input, PC7 can accept a digital external clock input.
When configured in analog mode:
The
output drivers are disabled.
Rev 1.1
57
The
internal pull-up and pull-down resistors are disabled.
The Schmitt trigger input is connected to a high logic level.
Reading GPIO_PxIN returns a constant 1.
7.6.2. Input Mode
Input mode is used both for general purpose input and for on-chip peripheral inputs. Input floating mode disables
the internal pull-up and pull-down resistors, leaving the pin in a high-impedance state. Input pull-up or pull-down
mode enables either an internal pull-up or pull-down resistor based on the GPIO_PxOUT register. Setting a bit to 0
in GPIO_PxOUT enables the pull-down and setting a bit to 1 enables the pull up.
When configured in input mode:
The
output drivers are disabled.
An internal pull-up or pull-down resistor may be activated depending on GPIO_PxCFGH/L and
GPIO_PxOUT.
The Schmitt trigger input is connected to the pin.
Reading GPIO_PxIN returns the input at the pin.
The input is also available to on-chip peripherals.
7.6.3. SWDIO Mode
The SWDIO mode is only used with PC4 when the GPIO_DEBUGDIS bit in the GPIO_DBGCFG register is set.
Normally, the SWJ interface is a forced function of PC0, PC2, PC3, and PC4 so that the SWJ interface is always
available. While the SWJ interface is being forced, the GPIO configurations of these four pins are ignored by the
chip. The SWJ interface can be disabled in its entirety to reclaim these four pins as normal GPIO by setting the
GPIO_DEBUGDIS bit. If the Serial Wire interface is desired but the JTAG interface is not, then PC4 can be
configured in the SWDIO mode while GPIO_DEBUGDIS is set and therefore the Serial Wire interface will remain
active.
7.6.4. Output Mode
Output mode provides a general purpose output under direct software control. Regardless of whether an output is
configured as push-pull or open-drain, the GPIO’s bit in the GPIO_PxOUT register controls the output. The
GPIO_PxSET and GPIO_PxCLR registers can atomically set and clear bits within GPIO_PxOUT register. These
set and clear registers simplify software using the output port because they eliminate the need to disable interrupts
to perform an atomic read-modify-write operation of GPIO_PxOUT.
When configured in output mode:
The
output drivers are enabled and are controlled by the value written to GPIO_PxOUT:
In
In
open-drain mode: 0 activates the N-MOS current sink; 1 tri-states the pin.
push-pull mode: 0 activates the N-MOS current sink; 1 activates the P-MOS current source.
The
internal pull-up and pull-down resistors are disabled.
Schmitt trigger input is connected to the pin.
Reading GPIO_PxIN returns the input at the pin.
Reading GPIO_PxOUT returns the last value written to the register.
The
Note: Depending on configuration and usage, GPIO_PxOUT and GPIO_PxIN may not have the same value.
7.6.5. Alternate Output Mode
In this mode, the output is controlled by an on-chip peripheral instead of GPIO_PxOUT and may be configured as
either push-pull or open-drain. Most peripherals require a particular output type – TWI requires an open-drain
driver, for example – but since using a peripheral does not by itself configure a pin, the GPIO_PxCFGH/L registers
must be configured properly for a peripheral’s particular needs. As described in the Configuration section, when
more than one peripheral can be the source of output data, registers in addition to GPIO_PxCFGH/L determine
which to use.
When configured in alternate output mode:
The
output drivers are enabled and are controlled by the output of an on-chip peripheral:
In
58
open-drain mode: 0 activates the N-MOS current sink; 1 tri-states the pin.
Rev 1.1
In
push-pull mode: 0 activates the N-MOS current sink; 1 activates the P-MOS current source.
The
internal pull-up and pull-down resistors are disabled.
The Schmitt trigger input is connected to the pin.
Reading GPIO_PxIN returns the input to the pin.
Note: Depending on configuration and usage, GPIO_PxOUT and GPIO_PxIN may not have the same value.
7.6.6. Alternate Output SPI Slave MISO Mode
This configuration mode is reserved for pins PB1 (SC1MISO), PA1 (SC2MISO), PD1 (SC3MISO), or PE1
(SC4MISO) when the associated serial controller is configured as an SPI slave. This configuration cannot be used
with any other pins. This mode tri-states the pin when the respective SPI slave select signal (SCxnSSEL) is
deasserted (goes high). When the SPI slave select signal is asserted (low), this pin functions as an alternate pushpull output.
7.7. Wake Monitoring
The GPIO_PxWAKE registers specify which GPIOs are monitored to wake the processor. If a GPIO’s wake enable
bit is set in GPIO_PxWAKE, then a change in the logic value of that GPIO causes the EM359x to wake from deep
sleep. The logic values of all GPIOs are captured by hardware upon entering sleep. If any GPIO’s logic value
changes while in sleep and that GPIO’s GPIO_PxWAKE bit is set, then the EM359x wakes from deep sleep.
(There is no mechanism for selecting a specific rising-edge, falling-edge, or level on a GPIO: any change in logic
value triggers a wake event.) Hardware records the fact that GPIO activity caused a wake event, but not which
specific GPIO was responsible. Instead, the Silicon Labs software reads the state of the GPIOs on waking to
determine this.
The register GPIO_WAKEFILT contains bits to enable digital filtering of the external wakeup event sources: the
GPIO pins, SC1 activity, SC2 activity, and IRQD. The digital filter operates by taking samples based on the
(nominal) 10 kHz RC oscillator. If three samples in a row all have the same logic value, and this sampled logic
value is different from the logic value seen upon entering sleep, the filter outputs a wakeup event.
In order to use GPIO pins to wake the EM359x from deep sleep, the GPIO_WAKE bit in the WAKE_SEL register
must be set. Waking up from GPIO activity does not work with pins configured for analog mode since the digital
logic input is always set to 1 when in analog mode. Refer to Chapter 5, System Modules, for information on the
EM359x’s power management and sleep modes.
7.8. External Interrupts
The EM359x can use up to four external interrupt sources (IRQA, IRQB, IRQC, and IRQD), each with its own toplevel NVIC interrupt vector. Since these external interrupt sources connect to the standard GPIO input path, an
external interrupt pin may simultaneously be used by a peripheral device or even configured as an output. Analog
mode is the only GPIO configuration that is not compatible with using a pin as an external interrupt.
External interrupts have individual triggering and filtering options selected using the registers GPIO_INTCFGA,
GPIO_INTCFGB, GPIO_INTCFGC, and GPIO_INTCFGD. The bit field GPIO_INTMOD of the GPIO_INTCFGx
register enables IRQx’s second-level interrupt and selects the triggering mode: 0 is disabled; 1 for rising edge; 2 for
falling edge; 3 for both edges; 4 for active high level; 5 for active low level. The minimum width needed to latch an
unfiltered external interrupt in both level- and edge-triggered mode is 80 ns. With the digital filter enabled (the
GPIO_INTFILT bit in the GPIO_INTCFGx register is set), the minimum width needed is 450 ns.
The register INT_GPIOFLAG is the second-level interrupt flag register that indicates pending external interrupts.
Writing 1 to a bit in the INT_GPIOFLAG register clears the flag while writing 0 has no effect. If the interrupt is leveltriggered, the flag bit is set again immediately after being cleared if its input is still in the active state.
Two of the four external interrupts, IRQA and IRQB, have fixed pin assignments. The other two external interrupts,
IRQC and IRQD, can use any GPIO pin. The GPIO_IRQCSEL and GPIO_IRQDSEL registers specify the GPIO
pins assigned to IRQC and IRQD, respectively. Table 7 4 shows how the GPIO_IRQCSEL and GPIO_IRQDSEL
register values select the GPIO pin used for the external interrupt.

In some cases, it may be useful to assign IRQC or IRQD to an input also in use by a peripheral, for example to
generate an interrupt from the slave select signal (nSSEL) in an SPI slave mode interface.
Refer to Chapter 3, Interrupt System, for further information regarding the EM359x interrupt system..
7.9. Debug Control and Status
Two GPIO registers are largely concerned with debugger functions. GPIO_DBGCFG can disable debugger
operation, but has other miscellaneous control bits as well. GPIO_DBGSTAT, a read-only register, returns status
related to debugger activity (GPIO_FORCEDBG and GPIO_SWEN), as well a flag (GPIO_BOOTMODE) indicating
whether nBOOTMODE was asserted at the last power-on or nRESET-based reset.

8. Serial Controllers
8.1. Overview
The EM359x has four serial controllers, SC1, SC2, SC3, and SC4, which provide several options for full-duplex
synchronous and asynchronous serial communications.
SPI
(Serial Peripheral Interface), master or slave
TWI (Two Wire serial Interface), master only
UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), SC1 and SC3 only
Receive and transmit FIFOs and DMA channels, SPI and UART modes
Receive and transmit FIFOs allow faster data speeds using byte-at-a-time interrupts. For the highest SPI and
UART speeds, dedicated receive and transmit DMA channels reduce CPU loading and extend the allowable time
to service a serial controller interrupt. Polled operation is also possible using direct access to the serial data
registers. Figure 8 1 shows the components of the serial controllers..
Note: The notation SCx means any serial controller (SC1, SC2, SC3, or SC4) may be substituted to form the name of a specific register or field within a register. The notation SCy means that either SC1 or SC3 may be substituted to form the
name of a specific register or field within a register.

8.2. Configuration
Before using a serial controller, configure and initialize it as follows:
1. Set up the parameters specific to the operating mode (master/slave for SPI, baud rate for UART, etc.).
2. Configure the GPIO pins used by the serial controller as shown in Table 8.1 and Table 8.2. Section 2 in
Chapter 7, GPIO shows how to configure GPIO pins.
3. If using DMA, set up the DMA and buffers. This is described fully in Section 8.7.
4. If using interrupts, select edge- or level-triggered interrupts with the SCx_INTMODE register, enable the
desired second-level interrupt sources in the INT_SCxCFG register, and finally enable the top-level SCx
interrupt in the NVIC.
5. Write the serial interface operating mode — SPI, TWI, or UART — to the SCx_MODE register.

8.3. SPI—Master Mode
The SPI master controller has the following features:
Full
duplex operation
Programmable clock frequency (12 MHz max.)
Programmable clock polarity and phase
Selectable data shift direction (either LSB or MSB first)
Receive and transmit FIFOs
Receive and transmit DMA channels
8.3.1. GPIO Usage
The SPI master controller uses the three signals:
MOSI
(Master Out, Slave In) - outputs serial data from the master
MISO (Master In, Slave Out) - inputs serial data from a slave
SCLK (Serial Clock) - outputs the serial clock used by MOSI and MISO
The GPIO pins used for these signals are shown in Table 8.5. Additional outputs may be needed to drive the
nSSEL signals on slave devices.

8.3.2. Set Up and Configuration
The serial controllers support SPI master mode. SPI master mode is enabled by the following register settings:
The
serial controller mode register (SCx_MODE) is 2.
SC_SPIMST bit in the SPI configuration register (SCx_SPICFG) is 1.
The SPI serial clock (SCLK) is produced by a programmable clock generator. The serial clock is produced by
dividing down 12 MHz according to this equation:
The
12 MHz
rate = ------------------------------------------EXP
 LIN + 1   2
EXP is the value written to the SCx_RATEEXP register, and LIN is the value written to the SCx_RATELIN register.
EXP and LIN can both be zero, so the SPI master mode clock may be 12 Mbps.
The SPI master controller supports various frame formats depending upon the clock polarity (SC_SPIPOL), clock
phase (SC_SPIPHA), and direction of data (SC_SPIORD) (see Table 8.6). The bits SC_SPIPOL, SC_SPIPHA,
and SC_SPIORD are defined within the SCx_SPICFG register.

8.3.3. Operation
Characters transmitted and received by the SPI master controller are buffered in transmit and receive FIFOs that
are both 4 entries deep. When software writes a character to the SCx_DATA register, the character is pushed onto
the transmit FIFO. Similarly, when software reads from the SCx_DATA register, the character returned is pulled
from the receive FIFO. If the transmit and receive DMA channels are used, they also write to and read from the
transmit and receive FIFOs.
When the transmit FIFO and the serializer are both empty, writing a character to the transmit FIFO clears the
SC_SPITXIDLE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register. This indicates that some characters have not yet been
transmitted. If characters are written to the transmit FIFO until it is full, the SC_SPITXFREE bit in the
SCx_SPISTAT register is cleared. Shifting out a character to the MOSI pin sets the SC_SPITXFREE bit in the
SCx_SPISTAT register. When the transmit FIFO empties and the last character has been shifted out, the
SC_SPITXIDLE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register is set.
Characters received are stored in the receive FIFO. Receiving characters sets the SC_SPIRXVAL bit in the
SCx_SPISTAT register, indicating that characters can be read from the receive FIFO. Characters received while
the receive FIFO is full are dropped, and the SC_SPIRXOVF bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register is set. The receive
FIFO hardware generates the INT_SCRXOVF interrupt, but the DMA register will not indicate the error condition
until the receive FIFO is drained. Once the DMA marks a receive error, two conditions will clear the error indication:
setting the appropriate SC_TX/RXDMARST bit in the SCx_DMACTRL register, or loading the appropriate DMA
buffer after it has unloaded.
To receive a character, you must transmit a character. If a long stream of receive characters is expected, a long
sequence of dummy transmit characters must be generated. To avoid software or transmit DMA initiating these
transfers and consuming unnecessary bandwidth, the SPI serializer can be instructed to retransmit the last
Rev 1.1
85
transmitted character or to transmit a busy token (0xFF), which is determined by the SC_SPIRPT bit in the
SCx_SPICFG register. This functionality can only be enabled or disabled when the transmit FIFO is empty and the
transmit serializer is idle, indicated by a cleared SC_SPITXIDLE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register. Refer to the
register description of SCx_SPICFG for more detailed information about SC_SPIRPT.
Every time an automatic character transmission starts, a transmit underrun is detected as there is no data in the
transmit FIFO, and the INT_SCTXUND bit in the INT_SCxFLAG register is set. After automatic character
transmission is disabled, no more new characters are received. The receive FIFO holds characters just received.
Note: The Receive DMA complete event does not always mean the receive FIFO is empty.
"8.7. DMA Channels" on page 111 describes how to configure and use the serial receive and transmit DMA
channels.
8.3.4. Interrupts
SPI master controller second-level interrupts are generated by the following events:
Transmit
FIFO empty and last character shifted out (depending on SCx_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1
transition or the high level of SC_SPITXIDLE)
Transmit FIFO changed from full to not full (depending on SCx_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1 transition or the
high level of SC_SPITXFREE)
Receive FIFO changed from empty to not empty (depending on SCx_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1 transition
or the high level of SC_SPIRXVAL)
Transmit DMA buffer A/B complete (1 to 0 transition of SC_TXACTA/B)
Receive DMA buffer A/B complete (1 to 0 transition of SC_RXACTA/B)
Received and lost character while receive FIFO was full (receive overrun error)
Transmitted character while transmit FIFO was empty (transmit underrun error)
To enable CPU interrupts, set the desired interrupt bits in the second-level INT_SCxCFG register, and enable the
top-level SCx interrupt in the NVIC by writing the INT_SCx bit in the INT_CFGSET register.

SC_DATA
[7:0]
RW
Transmit and receive data register. Writing to this register adds a byte to the
transmit FIFO. Reading from this register takes the next byte from the
receive FIFO and clears the overrun error bit if it was set.
In UART mode (SC1 and SC3 only), reading from this register loads the
UART status register with the parity and frame error status of the next byte
in the FIFO, and clears these bits if the FIFO is now empty.

SC_SPIRXDRV
[5]
RW
Receiver-driven mode selection bit (SPI master mode only). Clear this bit to initiate
transactions when transmit data is available. Set this bit to initiate transactions when
the receive buffer (FIFO or DMA) has space.
SC_SPIMST
[4]
RW
Set this bit to put the SPI in master mode, clear this bit to put the SPI in slave mode.
SC_SPIRPT
[3]
RW
This bit controls behavior when the transmit serializer must send a byte and there is no
data already available in/to the serializer. The conditions for sending this “busy” token
are transmit buffer underrun condition when using DMA in master or slave mode,
empty FIFO in slave mode, and the busy token will always be sent as the first byte
every time nSSEL is asserted while operating in slave mode. Clear this bit to send the
BUSY token (0xFF) and set this bit to repeat the last byte. Changes to this bit take
effect when the transmit FIFO is empty and the transmit serializer is idle. Note that
when the chip comes out of reset, if SC_SPIRPT is set before any data has been transmitted and no data is available (in the FIFO), the “last byte” that will be transmitted after
the padding byte is 0x00 due to the FIFO having been reset to 0x00.
SC_SPIORD
[2]
RW
This bit specifies the bit order in which SPI data is transmitted and received.
0: Most significant bit first.
1: Least significant bit first.
SC_SPIPHA

RW
Clock phase configuration: clear this bit to sample on the leading (first edge) and set
this bit to sample on the second edge.
SC_SPIPOL

Clock polarity configuration: clear this bit for a rising leading edge and set this bit for a
falling leading edge.

8.4. SPI—Slave Mode
The SPI controller has the following features:
Full
duplex operation
Up to 5 Mbps data transfer rate
Programmable clock polarity and clock phase
Selectable data shift direction (either LSB or MSB first)
Slave select input
8.4.1. GPIO Usage
The SPI slave controller uses four signals:
MOSI
(Master Out, Slave In) - inputs serial data from the master
(Master In, Slave Out) - outputs serial data to the master
SCLK (Serial Clock) - clocks data transfers on MOSI and MISO
nSSEL (Slave Select) - enables serial communication with the slave
MISO
The GPIO pins that can be assigned to these signals are shown in Table 8.7.

8.4.2. Set Up and Configuration
The serial controllers support SPI slave mode. SPI slave mode is enabled by the following register settings:
The
The
serial controller mode register, SCx_MODE, is 2
SC_SPIMST bit in the SPI configuration register, SCx_SPICFG, is 0
The SPI slave controller receives its clock from an external SPI master device and supports rates up to 5 Mbps.
The SPI slave controller supports various frame formats depending upon the clock polarity (SC_SPIPOL), clock
phase (SC_SPIPHA), and direction of data (SC_SPIORD) (see Table 8.8). The SC_SPIPOL, SC_SPIPHA, and
SC_SPIORD bits are defined within the SCx_SPICFG registers.

8.4.3. Operation
When the slave select (nSSEL) signal is asserted by the master, SPI transmit data is driven to the output pin MISO,
and SPI data is received from the input pin MOSI. The nSSEL pin has to be asserted to enable the transmit
serializer to drive data to the output signal MISO. When the nSSEL pin is deasserted, no data is transferred on the
MISO or MOSI pins and the output pin MISO is tri-stated (when the MISO pin is configured as Alternate Output
(push-pull), SPI Slave MISO Mode). A falling edge on nSSEL resets the SPI slave shift registers.
Characters transmitted and received by the SPI slave controller are buffered in the transmit and receive FIFOs that
are both 4 entries deep. When software writes a character to the SCx_DATA register, it is pushed onto the transmit
FIFO. Similarly, when software reads from the SCx_DATA register, the character returned is pulled from the receive
FIFO. If the transmit and receive DMA channels are used, the DMA channels also write to and read from the
transmit and receive FIFOs.
Characters received are stored in the receive FIFO. Receiving characters sets the SC_SPIRXVAL bit in the
SCx_SPISTAT register, to indicate that characters can be read from the receive FIFO. Characters received while
the receive FIFO is full are dropped, and the SC_SPIRXOVF bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register is set. The receive
FIFO hardware generates the INT_SCRXOVF interrupt, but the DMA register will not indicate the error condition
until the receive FIFO is drained. Once the DMA marks a receive error, two conditions will clear the error indication:
setting the appropriate SC_TX/RXDMARST bit in the SCx_DMACTRL register, or loading the appropriate DMA
buffer after it has unloaded.
Receiving a character causes the serial transmission of a character pulled from the transmit FIFO. When the
transmit FIFO is empty, a transmit underrun is detected (no data in transmit FIFO) and the INT_SCTXUND bit in
the INT_SCxFLAG register is set. Because no character is available for serialization, the SPI serializer retransmits
the last transmitted character or a busy token (0xFF), determined by the SC_SPIRPT bit in the SCx_SPICFG
register. Refer to the register description of SCx_SPICFG for more detailed information about SC_SPIRPT.
When the transmit FIFO and the serializer are both empty, writing a character to the transmit FIFO clears the
SC_SPITXIDLE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register. This indicates that not all characters have been transmitted. If
characters are written to the transmit FIFO until it is full, the SC_SPITXFREE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register is
cleared. Shifting out a transmit character to the MISO pin causes the SC_SPITXFREE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT
register to get set. When the transmit FIFO empties and the last character has been shifted out, the
SC_SPITXIDLE bit in the SCx_SPISTAT register is set.
The SPI slave controller must guarantee that there is time to move new transmit data from the transmit FIFO into
the hardware serializer. To provide sufficient time, the SPI slave controller inserts a byte of padding at the start of
every new string of transmit data defined by every time nSSEL is asserted. This byte is inserted as if this byte
was placed there by software. The value of the byte of padding is always 0xFF.
8.4.4. DMA
The DMA Channels section describes how to configure and use the serial receive and transmit DMA channels.
When using the receive DMA channel and nSSEL transitions to the high (deasserted) state, the active buffer’s
receive DMA count register (SCx_RXCNTA/B) is saved in the SCx_RXCNTSAVED register. SCx_RXCNTSAVED
is only written the first time nSSEL goes high after a buffer has been loaded. Subsequent rising edges set a status
bit but are otherwise ignored. The 3-bit field SC_RXSSEL in the SCx_DMASTAT register records what, if anything,
was saved to the SCx_RXCNTSAVED register, and whether or not another rising edge occurred on nSSEL.
94
Rev 1.1
8.4.5. Interrupts
SPI slave controller second-level interrupts are generated on the following events:
Transmit
FIFO empty and last character shifted out (depending on SCx_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1
transition or the high level of SC_SPITXIDLE)
Transmit FIFO changed from full to not full (depending on SCx_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1 transition or the
high level of SC_SPITXFREE)
Receive FIFO changed from empty to not empty (depending on SCx_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1 transition
or the high level of SC_SPIRXVAL)
Transmit DMA buffer A/B complete (1 to 0 transition of SC_TXACTA/B)
Receive DMA buffer A/B complete (1 to 0 transition of SC_RXACTA/B)
Received and lost character while receive FIFO was full (receive overrun error)
Transmitted character while transmit FIFO was empty (transmit underrun error)
To enable CPU interrupts, set desired interrupt bits in the second-level INT_SCxCFG register, and also enable the
top-level SCx interrupt in the NVIC by writing the INT_SCx bit in the INT_CFGSET register.
8.4.6. Registers
Refer to Registers (in the SPI Master Mode "8.3. SPI—Master Mode" on page 84) for a description of the
SCx_DATA, SCx_SPICFG, and SCx_SPISTAT registers.
8.5. TWI—Two Wire Serial Interfaces
The Two Wire serial Interface (TWI) master controller has the following features:
Uses
only two bidirectional GPIO pins
Programmable clock frequency (up to 400 kHz)
Supports both 7-bit and 10-bit addressing
Compatible
with Philips' I2C-bus slave devices
8.5.1. GPIO Usage
The TWI master controller uses just two signals:
SDA
(Serial Data) - bidirectional serial data
(Serial Clock) - bidirectional serial clock
Table 8.9 lists the GPIO pins used by the SC1, SC2, SC3, and SC4 TWI master controllers. Because the pins are
configured as open-drain outputs, they require external pull-up resistors.

8.5.2. Set Up and Configuration
The TWI controller is enabled by writing 3 to the SCx_MODE register. The TWI controller operates only in master
mode and supports both Standard (100 kbps) and Fast (400 kbps) TWI modes. Address arbitration is not
implemented, so multiple master applications are not supported.
The TWI master controller’s serial clock (SCL) is produced by a programmable clock generator. SCL is produced
by dividing down 12 MHz according to this equation:
12 MHz
rate = ------------------------------------------EXP
 LIN + 1   2
EXP is the value written to the SCx_RATEEXP register and LIN is the value written to the SCx_RATELIN register.
Table 8.10 shows the rate settings for Standard-Mode TWI (100 kbps) and Fast-Mode TWI (400 kbps) operation.

*Note: At 400 kbps, the Philips I2C Bus specification requires the minimum low period of SCL to be 1.3 µs, but on
the EM359x it is 1.25 µs. If a slave device requires strict compliance with SCL timing, the clock rate must
be lowered to 375 kbps.
The EM359x supports clock stretching. The slave device can hold SCL low on any received or transmitted data bit.
This inhibits further data transfers until SCL is allowed to go high again.

8.5.3. Constructing Frames
The TWI master controller supports generating various frame segments by means of the SC_TWISTART,
SC_TWISTOP, SC_TWISEND, and SC_TWIRECV bits in the SCx_TWICTRL1 registers. Table 8.11 summarizes
these frames.

Full TWI frames have to be constructed by software from individual TWI segments. All necessary segment
transitions are shown in Figure 8.2. ACK or NACK generation of a TWI receive frame segment is determined with

Figure 8.2. TWI Segment Transitions
Generation of a 7-bit address is accomplished with one transmit segment. The upper 7 bits of the transmitted
character contain the 7-bit address. The remaining lower bit contains the command type (“read” or “write”).
Generation of a 10-bit address is accomplished with two transmit segments. The upper 5 bits of the first transmit
character must be set to 0x1E. The next 2 bits are for the 2 most significant bits of the 10-bit address. The
remaining lower bit contains the command type (“read” or “write”). The second transmit segment is for the
remaining 8 bits of the 10-bit address.
Transmitted and received characters are accessed through the SCx_DATA register.
To initiate (re)start and stop segments, set the SC_TWISTART or SC_TWISTOP bit in the SCx_TWICTRL1
register, then wait until the bit is clear. Alternatively, the SC_TWICMDFIN bit in the SCx_TWISTAT can be used for
waiting.
To initiate a transmit segment, write the data to the SCx_DATA data register, then set the SC_TWISEND bit in the
SCx_TWICTRL1 register, and finally wait until the bit is clear. Alternatively the SC_TWITXFIN bit in the
SCx_TWISTAT register can be used for waiting.
To initiate a receive segment, set the SC_TWIRECV bit in the SCx_TWICTRL1 register, wait until it is clear, and
then read from the SCx_DATA register. Alternatively, the SC_TWIRXFIN bit in the SCx_TWISTAT register can be
used for waiting. Now the SC_TWIRXNAK bit in the SCx_TWISTAT register indicates if a NACK or ACK was
received from a TWI slave device..

8.5.4. Interrupts
TWI master controller interrupts are generated on the following events:
Bus
command (SC_TWISTART/SC_TWISTOP) completed (0 to 1 transition of SC_TWICMDFIN)
transmitted and slave device responded with NACK
Character transmitted (0 to 1 transition of SC_TWITXFIN)
Character received (0 to 1 transition of SC_TWIRXFIN)
Received and lost character while receive FIFO was full (receive overrun error)
Transmitted character while transmit FIFO was empty (transmit underrun error)
To enable CPU interrupts, set the desired interrupt bits in the second-level INT_SCxCFG register, and enable the
top-level SCx interrupt in the NVIC by writing the INT_SCx bit in the INT_CFGSET register.

8.6. UART—Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter
The SC1 and SC3 UARTs are enabled by writing 1 to their respective SCy_MODE registers. The SC2 and SC4
serial controllers do not include UART functions.
The UARTs support the following features:
Flexible
baud rate clock (300 bps to 921.6 kbps)
Data bits (7 or 8)
Parity bits (none, odd, or even)
Stop bits (1 or 2)
False start bit and noise filtering
Receive and transmit FIFOs
Optional RTS/CTS flow control
Receive and transmit DMA channels
8.6.1. GPIO Usage
The UARTs use two signals to transmit and receive serial data:
TXD
(Transmitted Data) - serial data sent by the EM359x
(Received Data) - serial data received by the EM359x
If RTS/CTS flow control is enabled, these two signals are also used:
RXD
nRTS
(Request To Send) - indicates the EM359x is able to receive data
(Clear To Send) - inhibits sending data from the EM359x if not asserted
The GPIO pins assigned to these signals are shown in Table 8.12.

The integer portion of the divisor, N, is written to the SCy_UARTPER register and the fractional part, F, to the
SCy_UARTFRAC register. Table 8 11 shows the values used to generate some common baud rates and their
associated clock frequency error. The UART requires an internal clock that is at least eight times the baud rate
clock, so the minimum allowable setting for SCy_UARTPER is 8.

The UART can miss bytes when the inter-byte gap is long or there is a baud rate mismatch between receiver and
transmitter. The UART may detect a parity and/or framing error on the corrupted byte, but there will not necessarily
be any error detected.
The UART is best operated in systems where the other side of the communication link also uses a crystal as its
timing reference, and baud rates should be selected to minimize the baud rate mismatch to the crystal tolerance.
Additionally, UART protocols should contain some form of error checking (for example CRC) at the packet level to
detect, and retry in the event of errors. Since the probability of corruption is low, there would only be a small effect
on UART throughput due to retries.
Errors may occur when:
6
10
T gap  -------------------------------------baud  Ferror
Where:
T gap = inter-byte gap in seconds
baud = baud rate in bps
Ferror = relative frequency error in ppm
For example, if the baud rate tolerance between receive and transmit is 200 ppm (reasonable if both sides are
Rev 1.1
103
derived from a crystal), and the baud rate is 115200 bps, then errors will not occur until the inter-byte gap exceeds
43 ms. If the gap is exceeded then the chance of an error is essentially random, with a probability of approximately
P = baud / 24e6. At 115200 bps, the probability of corruption is 0.5%.
The UART character frame format is determined by four bits in the SCy_UARTCFG register:
SC_UART8BIT
specifies the number of data bits in received and transmitted characters. If this bit is clear,
characters have 7 data bits; if set, characters have 8 data bits.
SC_UART2STP selects the number of stop bits in transmitted characters. (Only one stop bit is required in
received characters.) If this bit is clear, characters are transmitted with one stop bit; if set, characters are
transmitted with two stop bits.
SC_UARTPAR controls whether or not received and transmitted characters include a parity bit. If
SC_UARTPAR is clear, characters do not contain a parity bit, otherwise, characters do contain a parity bit.
SC_UARTODD specifies whether transmitted and received parity bits contain odd or even parity. If this bit
is clear, the parity bit is even, and if set, the parity bit is odd. Even parity is the exclusive-or of all of the data
bits, and odd parity is the inverse of the even parity value. SC_UARTODD has no effect if SC_UARTPAR is
clear.
A UART character frame contains, in sequence:
The
start bit
The least significant data bit
The remaining data bits
If parity is enabled, the parity bit
The stop bit, or bits, if 2 stop bits are selected.
Figure 8.3 shows the UART character frame format, with optional bits indicated. Depending on the options chosen
for the character frame, the length of a character frame ranges from 9 to 12 bit times.
Note that asynchronous serial data may have arbitrarily long idle periods between characters. When idle, serial
data (TXD or RXD) is held in the high state. Serial data transitions to the low state in the start bit at the beginning of
a character frame..

8.6.3. FIFOs
Characters transmitted and received by the UART are buffered in the transmit and receive FIFOs that are both 4
entries deep (see Figure 8.4). When software writes a character to the SC1SCy_DATA register, it is pushed onto
the transmit FIFO. Similarly, when software reads from the SCy_DATA register, the character returned is pulled
from the receive FIFO. If the transmit and receive DMA channels are used, the DMA channels also write to and
read from the transmit and receive FIFOs.

8.6.4. RTS/CTS Flow control
RTS/CTS flow control, also called hardware flow control, uses two signals (nRTS and nCTS) in addition to received
and transmitted data (see Figure 8.5). Flow control is used by a data receiver to prevent buffer overflow, by
signaling an external device when it is and is not allowed to transmit.

Figure 8.5. RTS/CTS Flow Control Connections
The UART RTS/CTS flow control options are selected by the SC_UARTFLOW and SC_UARTAUTO bits in the
SCy_UARTCFG register (see Table 8.14). Whenever the SC_UARTFLOW bit is set, the UART will not start
transmitting a character unless nCTS is low (asserted). If nCTS transitions to the high state (deasserts) while a
character is being transmitted, transmission of that character continues until it is complete.
If the SC_UARTAUTO bit is set, nRTS is controlled automatically by hardware: nRTS is put into the low state
(asserted) when the receive FIFO has room for at least two characters, otherwise is it in the high state
(unasserted). If SC_UARTAUTO is clear, software controls the nRTS output by setting or clearing the
SC_UARTRTS bit in the SCy_UARTCFG register. Software control of nRTS is useful if the external serial device
cannot stop transmitting characters promptly when nRTS is set to the high state (deasserted).

8.6.5. DMA
The DMA Channels section describes how to configure and use the serial receive and transmit DMA channels.
The receive DMA channel has special provisions to record UART receive errors. When the DMA channel transfers
a character from the receive FIFO to a buffer in memory, it checks the stored parity and frame error status flags.
When an error is flagged, the SCy_RXERRA/B register is updated, marking the offset to the first received character
with a parity or frame error. Similarly if a receive overrun error occurs, the SCy_RXERRA/B registers mark the error
offset. The receive FIFO hardware generates the INT_SCRXOVF interrupt and DMA status register indicates the
error immediately, but in this case the error offset is 4 characters ahead of the actual overflow at the input to the
receive FIFO. Two conditions will clear the error indication: setting the appropriate SC_RXDMARST bit in the
SCy_DMACTRL register, or loading the appropriate DMA buffer after it has unloaded.
8.6.6. Interrupts
UART interrupts are generated on the following events:
Transmit
FIFO empty and last character shifted out (depending on SCy_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1
transition or the high level of SC_UARTTXIDLE)
Transmit FIFO changed from full to not full (depending on SCy_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1 transition or the
high level of SC_UARTTXFREE)
Receive FIFO changed from empty to not empty (depending on SCy_INTMODE, either the 0 to 1 transition
or the high level of SC_UARTRXVAL)
Transmit DMA buffer A/B complete (1 to 0 transition of SC_TXACTA/B)
Receive DMA buffer A/B complete (1 to 0 transition of SC_RXACTA/B)
Character received with parity error
Character received with frame error
Character received and lost when receive FIFO was full (receive overrun error)
To enable CPU interrupts, set the desired interrupt bits in the second-level INT_SCyCFG register, and enable the
top-level SCy interrupt in the NVIC by writing the INT_SCy bit in the INT_CFGSET register.

nRTS is an output to control the flow of serial data sent to the EM359x from another
device. This bit directly controls the output at the nRTS pin (SC_UARTFLOW must
be set and SC_UARTAUTO must be cleared). When this bit is set, nRTS is asserted
(pin is low, 'XON', RS232 positive voltage); the other device's transmission is
enabled. When this bit is cleared, nRTS is deasserted (pin is high, 'XOFF', RS232
negative voltage), the other device's transmission is inhibited.

8.7. DMA Channels
The EM359x serial DMA channels enable efficient, high-speed operation of the SPI and UART controllers by
reducing the load on the CPU as well as decreasing the frequency of interrupts that it must service. The transmit
and receive DMA channels can transfer data between the transmit and receive FIFOs and the DMA buffers in main
memory as quickly as it can be transmitted or received. Once software defines, configures, and activates the DMA,
it only needs to handle an interrupt when a transmit buffer has been emptied or a receive buffer has been filled.
The DMA channels each support two memory buffers, labeled A and B, and can alternate (“ping-pong”) between
them automatically to allow continuous communication without critical interrupt timing.
Note: DMA memory buffer terminology
load
– make a buffer available for the DMA channel to use
– a buffer loaded but not yet active
active – the buffer that will be used for the next DMA transfer
unload – DMA channel action when it has finished with a buffer
idle – a buffer that has not been loaded, or has been unloaded
To use a DMA channel, software should follow these steps:
pending
1. Reset the DMA channel by setting the SC_TXDMARST (or SC_RXDMARST) bit in the SCx_DMACTRL
register.
2. Set up the DMA buffers. The two DMA buffers, A and B, are defined by writing the start address to
SCx_TXBEGA/B (or SCx_RXBEGA/B) and the (inclusive) end address to SCx_TXENDA/B (or
SCx_RXENDA/B). Note that DMA buffers must be in RAM.
3. Configure and initialize SCx for the desired operating mode.
4. Enable second-level interrupts triggered when DMA buffers unload by setting the INT_SCTXULDA/B (or
INT_SCRXULDA/B) bits in the INT_SCxFLAG register.
5. Enable top-level NVIC interrupts by setting the INT_SCx bit in the INT_CFGSET register.
6. Start the DMA by loading the DMA buffers by setting the SC_TXLODA/B (or SC_RXLODA/B) bits in the
SCx_DMACTRL register.
A DMA buffer’s end address, SCx_TXENDA/B (or SCx_RXENDA/B), can be written while the buffer is loaded or
active. This is useful for receiving messages that contain an initial byte count, since it allows software to set the
buffer end address at the last byte of the message.
As the DMA channel transfers data between the transmit or receive FIFO and a memory buffer, the DMA count
register contains the byte offset from the start of the buffer to the address of the next byte that will be written or
read. A transmit DMA channel has a single DMA count register (SCx_TXCNT) that applies to whichever transmit
buffer is active, but a receive DMA channel has two DMA count registers (SCx_RXCNTA/B), one for each receive
buffer. The DMA count register contents are preserved until the corresponding buffer, or either buffer in the case of
the transmit DMA count, is loaded, or until the DMA is reset.
The receive DMA count register may be written while the corresponding buffer is loaded. If the buffer is not loaded,
writing the DMA count register also loads the buffer while preserving the count value written. This feature can
simplify handling UART receive errors.
The DMA channel stops using a buffer and unloads it when the following is true:
DMA buffer start address + DMA buffer count) > DMA buffer end address
Typically a transmit buffer is unloaded after all its data has been sent, and a receive buffer is unloaded after it is
filled with data, but writing to the buffer end address or buffer count registers can also cause a buffer to unload
early.
Serial controller DMA channels include additional features specific to the SPI and UART operation and are
described in those sections.

The offset from the start of DMA receive buffer A of the first byte received
with a parity, frame, or overflow error. Note that an overflow error occurs at
the input to the receive FIFO, so this offset is 4 bytes before the overflow
position. If there is no error, it reads zero. This register will not be updated
by subsequent errors until the buffer unloads and is reloaded, or the
receive DMA is reset.

Description
SC_RXERRB
[13:0]
R
The offset from the start of DMA receive buffer B of the first byte received
with a parity, frame, or overflow error. Note that an overflow error occurs at
the input to the receive FIFO, so this offset is 4 bytes before the overflow
position. If there is no error, it reads zero. This register will not be updated
by subsequent errors until the buffer unloads and is reloaded, or the receive
DMA is reset.

9. USB Device
9.1. Overview
The EM3592, EM3596, and EM3598 have a USB 2.0-compliant full-speed (12 Mbps) device peripheral, with onchip transceiver. Other EM359x variants (EM3591, EM3595, and EM3597) do not support USB.
The EM359x only supports one configuration (configuration 0) and two interfaces. By default all logical endpoints
are on the first interface (interface 0), while the USB_INTF1SEL register enables associating logical endpoints with
interface 1.
The EM359x supports up to six endpoints (in addition to the control endpoint 0). There are five endpoints that can
be used as either interrupt or bulk and one isochronous endpoint.
The USB peripheral is interfaced to the CPU through memory mapped registers for control, and DMA for data. The
USB device generates its own 48 MHz internal clock from the main 24 MHz crystal clock.
The EM359x fully supports USB suspend and resume modes, and can meet the USB specification suspend
current of <2.5 mA. It achieves this by switching the chip to run from a divided down version of the system clock.
Note: Fully supporting all of electrical compliance for the purpose of an EM359x device passing USB Certification is tightly coupled with the application being run on the EM359x and the larger system using the EM359x. From the perspective of the
EM359x device, suspend is an asynchronous event. Application designs will have to change to effectively handle suspend, resume, remote wakeup and their clocking requirements.
Note: The device is USB 2.0 compliant but only supports full-speed (12 Mbps).
9.2. Host Drivers
The goal of the USB COM port functionality Silicon Labs provides is to make it simple for an EM359x to interact
with a PC without needing a physical UART / RS-232 but still use the basic application serial functionality that has
been available on a UART.
There are two options for host drivers:
The
Silicon Labs supplied driver: There is an “EM358VPInstaller” available for both x64 and x86
Windows. The device driver is signed and certified by Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility.
The Windows PC USB built-in driver: Silicon Labs provides the only Windows file that is necessary to use
the communications device class (CDC). This is a .inf file needed to allow Windows to recognize the device
correctly and load the built-in driver.
Once the driver is installed and the EM359x is connected to the computer via USB, nothing more is needed on the
host to configure this new COM port device.
9.3. Normal Serial COM Port Operation
From the perspective of the software developer, in addition to the existing serial port 1 - the UART – the use of USB
allows for the serial port 3 - the USB COM port. Port 1 and Port 3 will not affect each other. The majority of the
basic functionality available for the UART exists for the USB COM port. This includes the emberSerialPrintf() and
companion printing functions as well as emberSerialReadLine() and companion reading functions. Some of the
UART-style functionality, such as hardware flow control, is not available on the USB COM port.

9.5. GPIO Usage and USB Pin Assignments
Three GPIO are required for all USB design. A fourth GPIO is required when the system is a self powered device.
The USB interface is available as an alternate function on 2 GPIO pins: PA0 and PA1. USBDM is on PA0, and
USBDP is on PA1. PA0 and PA1 need to be put in analog mode for USBDM on PA0 and USBDP on PA1 (through
register PACFGL[7:0]).
PA0 and PA1 also share some signals for Serial Controller 2 functionality, and hence SC2 and the USB are
mutually exclusive. This means the EM359x gains UART style functionality over USB (Windows COM port) at the
expense of SC2's SPI and TWI, but the existing UART and SPI functionality over SC1 is still available.
Software on the device must be able to control enumeration. Any GPIO can be chosen for push-pull output to
control a 1.5kOhm pull-up resistor. A separate circuit can be used instead of connecting the pull-up directly to the
EM359x chip, as long as software on the EM359x chip is capable of controlling the enumeration pull-up. PA2 is a
logical choice since SC2 won't be available due to the USB signals being on PA0 and PA1. It is possible for any
GPIO other than PA2 to be used for this functionality.
For a self-powered device a GPIO must be chosen to sense the USB voltage (VBUS) so the device knows when
the USB is physically connected or not connected. This VBUS monitoring ability is needed for software to control
the pull-up resistor appropriately since the USB specification requires that the pull-up resistor is disconnected if
VBUS is not connected. PA3 is a logical choice for VBUS monitoring since SC2 won't be available due to USB
being on PA0 and PA1. If PA3 is used, one of the configurable external interrupts (IRQC or IRQD) must be used to
trigger execution based on a change of state of VBUS. PB0 could be used instead since PB0 is tied to IRQA as an
external interrupt. PB6 could be used instead since PB6 is tied to IRQB as an external interrupt.
Note: While any GPIO can be used for VBUS monitoring, no GPIO is 5 V tolerant so external circuitry such as a voltage divider
is required to sense the nominally 5 V VBUS.
9.6. Application Schematics
A USB application requires a small number of external passive components: series resistors, a pull-up to indicate a
full speed device and control enumeration, and capacitors to ground.
The two power configurations shown are:
Bus
powered. The product is only powered when plugged into a host, for example a USB dongle. A 3.3 V
regulator is required as the EM359x maximum voltage is 3.6 V.
Self powered. The product is always powered from its own power source.
Note: Refer to Figure 2.1. Typical Application Circuit in the EM359x Datasheet for circuit specifics.

9.7. Endpoints
EM359x supports up to twelve endpoints (in addition to the control endpoint 0). The USB peripheral is interfaced to
the CPU through memory mapped registers for control, and DMA for data.
Before the device will respond to the USB bus, it must be configured to define its endpoint status and enable the
device. Various decisions must be made as to the nature of the device — i.e. what endpoint types and their
number. All devices must have endpoint 0, which is a control endpoint. There are 10 endpoints that can be used as
either bulk or interrupt and two isochronous endpoint. The choice of bulk versus interrupt is done in the endpoint
descriptor.
Each endpoint can be enabled independently, except endpoint 0 which is always enabled. Endpoints can be
enabled independently. Endpoints are individually enabled through the USB_ENABLEIN and USB_ENABLEOUT
registers. It is possible to explicitly stall individual endpoint directions with the registers USB_STALLIN and
USB_STALLOUT. Explicitly stalled endpoints can only be un-stalled explicitly.
Both directions on a given logical endpoint have the same max packet size.

9.8. Buffers and DMA
All physical endpoints are packed together and accessed through a contiguous block of RAM. The buffer’s RAM
can be written or read at any time, therefore a buffer’s section of RAM should not be modified while the USB DMA
is transmitting or receiving. To assist with throughput, the DMA interface supports double buffering with RAM
buffers A and B. All functionality can be performed with just buffer A. Buffer B is only useful in systems needing
enhanced throughput while the EM359x device is busy with other functionality. Due to the intricacies of handling
two buffers, it is recommended that designs start with buffer A and only add buffer B if necessary.
There are two registers to allow positioning of the A and B buffers independently in RAM. Register
USB_BUFBASEA is for positioning buffer A and register USB_BUFBASEB is for positioning buffer B when double
buffering is enabled.
Note: 8 byte alignment is the only requirement as to where the buffer can be located in RAM.
9.9. Standard Commands
A set of USB standard commands are defined in the USB specification which, for the purposes of the EM359x USB
device, are split into two types; those handled by the hardware and those passed on for the software to handle.
These standard commands as denoted in the setup packet by bmRequestType where Type is Standard.
From the interface point of view, data appears like a packet being sent to the endpoint 0 OUT buffer and hardware
writes this data to the buffer in RAM. However, as the hardware handled core commands are fully decoded and
acted on by the hardware, even though the data actually appears in RAM, this data stage is hidden from software
with no interrupts generated. The exception to this rule and the only indication that might be seen by software is an
INT_USBNACK if the host should retry the command.
Since there is no means for software to explicitly know if the hardware handled commands have occurred, any
protocol running on the device must depend on activity in the software handled commands to infer the device state.

9.10. Set Up and Configuration
It is best to have the enumeration pull-up resistor configured for the disconnected state whenever modifying the
USB configuration so that the host does not attempt enumeration before the USB core and the USB software on
the device is fully configured and ready to interact with the host. The disconnected state means the GPIO used for
control of the enumeration pull-up is configured as a floating input.
The GPIOs PA0 and PA1, which are dedicated to USB data D- and D+, are configured into the analog mode.
The USB_BUFBASEA register is written with a RAM address of where buffer A exists. If double buffering is used,
the USB_BUFBASEB register is also written with a RAM address of where buffer B exists. These addresses are
the root of the DMA interface and must not change once USB becomes active.
The IN and OUT directions of physical endpoints that will be used are enabled with the bits USB_ENABLEINEPx in
the USB_ENABLEIN register and the bits USB_ENABLEOUTEPx in the USB_ENABLEOUT register. These
physical endpoints can be enabled independently of each other.
Double buffering can be independently enabled for each physical IN endpoint and OUT endpoint separately. If
double buffering is not enabled, then only buffer A is used. Double buffering is enabled in the USB_CTRL register
with the bits USB_ENBUFOUTEPxB and USB_ENBUFINEPxB.

EM359x
Additional configuration decisions must be made before the USB is fully configured.
Is
this a self-powered device?
this device support remote-wakeup?
The bit USB_SELFPWRD in the register USB_CTRL is used to configure the USB peripheral core if the device is
self powered. This self-powered choice must also be indicated in the device descriptor reported to the host when
the device enumerates.
Does
The bit USB_REMOTEWKUPEN in the register USB_CTRL is used to configure the USB peripheral core
indicating if the remote-wakeup feature is enabled. With this bit clear, the host will get a STALL response to the
ClearFeature or SetFeature transaction for remote-wakeup of the device. Otherwise the host can inspect and
control this feature. This remote-wakeup choice must also be indicated in the device descriptor reported to the host
when the device enumerates.
When beginning to enable interrupts, it’s always best to start with clearing any possible stale interrupt flags. This is
done by writing a 1 to every bit in the INT_USBFLAG register.
The register INT_USBCFG is used for configuring the USB interrupts. From the perspective of the EM359x device,
the concept of RX behavior relates to an OUT transaction from the host and TX behavior relates to an IN
transaction to the host. Since EP0 is always enabled in the USB core and is always necessary, the two EP0
interrupt enable bits in INT_USBCFG must be set: INT_USBTXACTIVEEP0 and INT_USBRXVALIDEP0.
In addition to EP0, the interrupts for other endpoints being used must also be enabled. Every physical endpoint has
separate interrupt enables for the TX and RX direction since not every physical endpoint direction is necessary in
every possible configuration. A common use is to fully enable interrupts for bulk data transactions, such as EP3
with the bits INT_USBTXACTIVEEP3 and INT_USBRXVALIDEP3.
The interrupt bit INT_USBRESET in INT_USBCFG must be set to service a USB reset event that occurs across
the bus. While the reset across the bus will automatically reset the USB core in the EM359x, the DMA interacting
with the USB core is not reset. Therefore software must service the INT_USBRESET event by clearing out the
DMA buffers to put the buffers back to a reset state to match the core. Clearing out the DMA is done by writing a 1
to all bits in the register USB_BUFCLR.
The interrupt bits INT_USBSUSPEND and INT_USBRESUME must also be enabled to service the suspend and
resume events across the bus.
Once the second-level interrupts in the INT_USBCFG register have been appropriately set, USB must be enabled
at the top level in the NVIC. This is done by setting the bit INT_USB in the register INT_CFGSET.
If the device is self-powered, the USB specification requires that the pull-up resistor for enumeration is
disconnected when VBUS is not connected. This requirement means that the GPIO used to sense the VBUS
presence and the interrupt used to track the VBUS changing state must be configured before starting the
enumeration process. The GPIO and interrupt configuration used follows the same procedure described for
External Interrupts.
Configure
the GPIO as a simple input.
interrupt triggering by clearing to 0 the IRQ register being used for the GPIO. This will be one of
the registers GPIO_INTCFGA, GPIO_INTCFGB, GPIO_INTCFGC, or GPIO_INTCFGD.
Ensure the interrupts start from a clean state by writing the necessary bit in INT_CFGCLR register and the
INT_GPIOFLAG register.
If using the selectable interrupt IRQC or IRQD, write the register GPIO_IRQCSEL or GPIO_IRQDSEL
with the value corresponding to the GPIO being used.
Set the IRQ configuration, as defined in the register GPIO_INTCFGA, GPIO_INTCFGB,
GPIO_INTCFGC, or GPIO_INTCFGD, to the value 3. The value 3 enables triggering on a falling or rising
edge.
Enable the top level interrupt in the NVIC by setting the appropriate bit the INT_CFGSET register.
Because the USB specification requires the enumeration pull-up to track the state of VBUS, software on the
EM359x must be sure to specifically read the VBUS monitoring GPIO to check the state of VBUS before the
monitoring IRQ edge detection interrupt has taken over.
Disable
Once the USB registers and software configuration has been set up, enumeration can be begin by setting the
Rev 1.1
135
EM359x
GPIO used for control of the enumeration pull-up to an push-pull output set high.
9.11. DMA Usage and Transfers
To transfer IN data, data must first be put in an endpoint buffer’s RAM. Once the buffer’s RAM has data, the
register USB_TXBUFSIZEEPxy for that endpoint must be set with the number of bytes to be transmitted.
Transmission is then started with loading the buffer by setting the appropriate USB_TXLOADEPxy bit in the
USB_TXLOAD register.
A buffer should not be modified while the USB_TXLOADxy bit is still set. Modifying a buffer’s RAM before the buffer
has unloaded could result in incorrect data being transferred.
Setting the register USB_TXBUFSIZEEPxy to 0 to transmit a zero length packet is valid and in this situation the
data in buffer’s RAM does not matter.
Because the interrupt INT_USBTXACTIVEEPx will fire on the falling edge of the status bit USB_TXACTIVEEPxy,
the INT_USBTXACTIVEEPx interrupt can be used to keep loading data transmission without any foreground
processing involvement.
Buffer B will only be used if double buffering is enabled. The USB peripheral will always use buffer A if buffer A has
been loaded when the host begins a transfer, regardless of buffer B having data. The USB peripheral will only
transfer from buffer B if buffer B is loaded and buffer A is not loaded.
Receiving OUT data is directly put into the appropriate endpoint buffer’s RAM. Handling this OUT data is best
driven by the interrupt INT_USBRXVALIDEPx. This interrupt will fire on the rising edge of the appropriate
USB_RXVALIDEPxy status bit. Once the received data is in RAM and marked valid, the number of bytes received
is shown in the register USB_RXBUFSIZEEPxy. Reception of a zero length OUT transaction will set the RX
registers and interrupt bits but will not affect any data already in the buffer’s RAM.
When reception processing is finished, the appropriate USB_RXVALIDEPxy bit in the USB_RXVALID register must
be set. If USB_RXVALID is not cleared by writing a 1 to the USB_RXVALIDEPxy bit, further reception will STALL.
Like the IN direction, buffer B will only be used if double buffering is enabled. The hardware will always transfer into
buffer A if it is free, and will only transfer into buffer B if the USB_RXVALIDEPxA bit for buffer A has not been
cleared.
9.12. Suspend and Resume
The USB specification details the maximum allowable current draw while suspended and how quickly a device
must achieve this current draw. Fully supporting all of electrical compliance for the purpose of an EM359x device
passing USB Certification is tightly coupled with the application being run on the EM359x and the larger EM359x
system. From the perspective of the EM359x device, suspend is an asynchronous event. Application designs will
have to be written to effectively handle suspend, resume, remote wakeup and their clocking requirements
To achieve the lower current required, some peripherals need to be disabled. Especially the radio must be
shutdown. To keep the chip functional enough to stay on the USB bus and resume from the suspended state, the
system clock needs to be divided by 4. Refer to figure 5-2 Clocks Block Diagram to see exactly where in the
clocking of the chip the division occurs. Peripherals that are kept active might need to be adjusted for the system
clock being divided by 4.
When the bus suspends this device, the interrupt INT_USBSUSPEND will pend. To divide the system clock by 4,
set the register bit USBSUSP_CLKSEL in the register CPU_CLKSEL and enter idle sleep. Clock division will not
occur until the system enters idle sleep. An exit from idle sleep will automatically disable the divide by 4, restoring
the system clock, and clearing the USBSUSP_CLKSEL bit. Refer to section 5.5 Power Management for general
information about idle sleep.
When the bus resumes the device, the interrupt INT_USBRESUME will pend. The act of servicing the interrupt will
take the system out of idle sleep and disable the divide by 4, restoring the system clock.
The interrupt INT_USBWAKEUP will pend after a successful remote wakeup. Because code on this device is the
action that instigated a remote wakeup, this device is already running and will not have been in idle sleep with the
slower clock mode. With respect to current consumption in the larger system, INT_USBWAKEUP can be treated
like INT_USBRESUME with respect to using pieces of the system that consume higher current, such as the radio.

9.13. Interrupts
USB interrupts are generated on the following events:
INT_USBRXVALIDEPx:
Reception becoming valid is indicated with the INT_USBRXVALIDEPx bits. The
interrupt pends on the rising edge of either of the corresponding USB_RXVALIDEPxy bits for endpoint x in
the USB_RXVALID register.
INT_USBTXACTVEEPx: Transmit activity completing is indicated with the INT_USBTXACTVEEPx bit.
The interrupt pends on the falling edge of either of the corresponding USB_TXACTIVEEPxy bits for
endpoint x in the USB_ACTIVE register.
INT_USBRESET: A reset on the bus will reset the USB core and pend the INT_USBRESET bit. A USB
reset of the core will not affect USB DMA. Therefore USB DMA needs to be manually reset.
INT_USBSUSPEND: A suspend on the bus will pend the INT_USBSUSPEND bit.
INT_USBRESUME: When in the suspended state, a resume on the bus will pend the INT_USBRESUME
bit.
INT_USBWAKEUP: A successful remote wakeup from the suspended state (performed with the
USB_RESUME register) pends the INT_USBWAKEUP bit. This activity is very similar to
INT_USBRESUME, except it is initiated by this device instead of the bus.
INT_USBSOF: Reception of a Start of Frame packet will pend the INT_USBSOF bit. Because a SOF
packet can be used by the host to prevent the idle state (suspending), this interrupt could burden the
device and therefore might be best left disabled.
INT_USBBUFRXOVF: Buffer reception overflow will pend the INT_USBBUFRXOVF bit.
INT_USBBUFTXUND: Buffer transmit underflow will pend the INT_USBBUFTXUND bit.
INT_USBPIPERXOVF: Pipeline reception overflow will pend the INT_USBPIPERXOVF bit.
INT_USBPIPETXUND: Pipeline transmit underflow will pend the INT_USBPIPETXUND bit.
INT_USBNAK: Reception of a NAK packet will pend the INT_USBNAK bit. This interrupt is best left
disabled. Some NAKs are not an error, other NAKs will occur on errors that will be retried automatically by
the core.

cause the USB core to go back to its default sate, as if the core has

*Note: USB_BUFCLR forces clearing of the internal state of the IN buffer with respect to DMA operation. A USB reset will reset
the core so USB_BUFCLR must be used to keep the DMA in sync with the USB core state. Some protocols might
require aborting further IN data based upon received OUT data and therefore specific endpoints might have to be
cleared.

10. General Purpose Timers (TIM1 and TIM2)
10.1. Introduction
Each of the EM359xs two general-purpose timers consists of a 16-bit auto-reload counter driven by a
programmable prescaler. They may be used for a variety of purposes, including measuring the pulse lengths of
input signals (input capture) or generating output waveforms (output compare and PWM). Pulse lengths and
waveform periods can be modulated from a few microseconds to several milliseconds using the timer prescaler.
The timers are completely independent, and do not share any resources. They can be synchronized together as
described in the Timer Synchronizationsection.
The two general-purpose timers, TIM1 and TIM2, have the following features:
16-bit
up, down, or up/down auto-reload counter.
Programmable prescaler to divide the counter clock by any power of two from 1 through 32768.
4 independent channels for:
Input
capture
compare
PWM generation (edge- and center-aligned mode)
One-pulse mode output
Output
Synchronization
Flexible
circuit to control the timer with external signals and to interconnect the timers.
clock source selection:
Peripheral
clock (PCLK at 6 or 12 MHz)
kHz external clock (if available)
1 kHz clock
GPIO input
32.768
Interrupt
generation on the following events:
Update:
counter overflow/underflow, counter initialization (software or internal/external trigger)
event (counter start, stop, initialization or count by internal/external trigger)
Input capture
Output compare
Trigger
Supports
incremental (quadrature) encoders and Hall sensors for positioning applications.
Trigger input for external clock or cycle-by-cycle current management.
Figure 10.1 shows an overview of a timer's internal structure.
Note: Because the two timers are identical, the notation TIMx refers to either TIM1 or TIM2. For example, TIMx_PSC refers to
both TIM1_PSC and TIM2_PSC. Similarly, “y” refers to any of the four channels of a given timer, so for example, OCy
refers to OC1, OC2, OC3, and OC4.

Note: The internal signals shown in Figure 10.1 are described in the Timer Signal Descriptions "10.3.15. Timer Signal
Descriptions" on page 199, and are used throughout the text to describe how the timer components are interconnected.
172
Rev 1.1
10.2. GPIO Usage
The timers can optionally use GPIOs in the PA and PB ports for external inputs or outputs. As with all EM359x
digital inputs, a GPIO used as a timer input can be shared with other uses of the same pin. Available timer inputs
include an external timer clock, a clock mask, and four input channels. Any GPIO used as a timer output must be
configured as an alternate output and is controlled only by the timer.
Many of the GPIOs that can be assigned as timer outputs can also be used by another on-chip peripheral such as
a serial controller. Using a GPIO as a timer output takes precedence over another peripheral function, as long as
the channel is configured as an output in the TIMx_CCMR1 register and is enabled in the TIMx_CCER register.
The GPIOs that can be used by Timer 1 are fixed, but the GPIOs that can be used as Timer 2 channels can be
mapped to either of two pins, as shown in Table 10.1. The Timer 2 Option Register (TIM2_OR) has four single bit
fields (TIM_REMAPCy) that control whether a Timer 2 channel is mapped to its default GPIO in port PA, or
remapped to a GPIO in PB.
Table 10.1 specifies the pins that may be assigned to Timer 1 and Timer 2 functions.

their use.
10.3. Timer Functional Description
10.3.1. Time-Base Unit
The main block of the general purpose timer is a 16-bit counter with its related auto-reload register. The counter
can count up, down, or alternate up and down. The counter clock can be divided by a prescaler.
The counter, the auto-reload register, and the prescaler register can be written to or read by software. This is true
even when the counter is running.
The time-base unit includes:
Counter
Register (TIMx_CNT)
Register (TIMx_PSC)
Auto-Reload Register (TIMx_ARR)
Some timer registers cannot be directly accessed by software, which instead reads and writes a “buffer register”.
The internal registers actually used for timer operations are called “shadow registers”.
Prescaler
The auto-reload register is buffered. Writing to or reading from the auto-reload register accesses the buffer register.
The contents of the buffer register are transferred into the shadow register permanently or at each update event
(UEV), depending on the auto-reload buffer enable bit (TIM_ARBE) in the TIMx_CR1 register. The UEV is
generated when both the counter reaches the overflow (or underflow when down-counting) and when the
TIM_UDIS bit equals 0 in the TIMx_CR1 register. It can also be generated by software. UEV generation is
described in detail for each configuration.
The counter is clocked by the prescaler output CK_CNT, which is enabled only when the counter enable bit
(TIM_CEN) in the TIMx_CR1 register is set. Refer also to the slave mode controller description in the Timers and
Rev 1.1
173
External Trigger Synchronization section to get more details on counter enabling.
Note that the actual counter enable signal CNT_EN is set one clock cycle after TIM_CEN.
Note: When the EM359x enters debug mode and the ARM® CortexTM-M3 core is halted, the counters continue to run normally.
10.3.1.1. Prescaler
The prescaler can divide the counter clock frequency by power of two from 1 through 32768. It is based on a 16-bit
counter controlled through the 4-bit TIM_PSCEXP bit field in the TIMx_PSC register. The factor by which the
counter is divided is two raised to the power TIM_PSCEXP (2TIM_PSCEXP).
It can be changed on the fly as this control register is buffered. The new prescaler ratio is used starting at the next
UEV.
Figure 10.2 gives an example of the counter behavior when the prescaler ratio is changed on the fly.
Figure 10.2. Counter Modes
10.3.2. Counter Modes
10.3.2.1. Up-Counting Mode
In up-counting mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register), then
restarts from 0 and generates a counter overflow event.
A UEV can be generated at each counter overflow, by setting the TIM_UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register, or by
using the slave mode controller.
Software can disable the UEV by setting the TIM_UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register, to avoid updating the shadow
registers while writing new values in the buffer registers. No UEV will occur until the TIM_UDIS bit is written to 0.
Both the counter and the prescaler counter restart from 0, but the prescale rate does not change. In addition, if the
TIM_URS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the TIM_UG bit generates a UEV but without setting the
INT_TIMUIF flag. Thus no interrupt request is sent. This avoids generating both update and capture interrupts
when clearing the counter on the capture event.
When a UEV occurs, the update flag (the INT_TIMUIF bit in the INT_TIMxFLAG register) is set (unless TIM_URS
is 1) and the following registers are updated:
The
buffer of the prescaler is reloaded with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_PSC register).
The auto-reload shadow register is updated with the buffer value (TIMx_ARR).
Figures 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies
when TIMx_ARR = 0x36.

Buffered)

175
Figure 10.6. Counter Timing Diagram, Update Event when TIM_ARBE = 1 (TIMx_ARR Buffered)
10.3.2.2. Down-Counting Mode
In down-counting mode, the counter counts from the auto-reload value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register) down
to 0, then restarts from the auto-reload value and generates a counter underflow event.
A UEV can be generated at each counter underflow, by setting the TIM_UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register, or by
using the slave mode controller. Software can disable the UEV by setting the TIM_UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1
register, to avoid updating the shadow registers while writing new values in the buffer registers. No UEV occurs
until the TIM_UDIS bit is written to 0. However, the counter restarts from the current auto-reload value, whereas the
prescaler’s counter restarts from 0, but the prescale rate doesn’t change.
In addition, if the TIM_URS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the TIM_UG bit generates a UEV, but
without setting the INT_TIMUIF flag. Thus no interrupt request is sent. This avoids generating both update and
capture interrupts when clearing the counter on the capture event.
When a UEV occurs, the update flag (the INT_TIMUIF bit in the INT_TIMxFLAG register) is set (unless TIM_URS
is 1) and the following registers are updated:
The
prescaler shadow register is reloaded with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_PSC register).
auto-reload active register is updated with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register). The
auto-reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the next period is the expected one.
Figure 10.7 and Figure 10.8 show some examples of the counter behavior for different clock frequencies when
TIMx_ARR = 0x36.

10.3.2.3. Center-Aligned Mode (Up/Down Counting)
In center-aligned mode, the counter counts from 0 to the auto-reload value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register) – 1
and generates a counter overflow event, then counts from the autoreload value down to 1 and generates a counter
underflow event. Then it restarts counting from 0.
In this mode, the direction bit (TIM_DIR in the TIMx_CR1 register) cannot be written. It is updated by hardware and
gives the current direction of the counter.
The UEV can be generated at each counter overflow and at each counter underflow. Setting the TIM_UG bit in the
TIMx_EGR register by software or by using the slave mode controller also generates a UEV. In this case, the both
the counter and the prescaler’s counter restart counting from 0.
Software can disable the UEV by setting the TIM_UDIS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This avoids updating the
shadow registers while writing new values in the buffer registers. Then no UEV occurs until the TIM_UDIS bit has
been written to 0. However, the counter continues counting up and down, based on the current auto-reload value.
In addition, if the TIM_URS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is set, setting the TIM_UG bit generates a UEV, but
without setting the INT_TIMUIF flag. Thus no interrupt request is sent. This avoids generating both update and
capture interrupt when clearing the counter on the capture event.
When a UEV occurs, the update flag (the INT_TIMUIF bit in the INT_TIMxFLAG register) is set (unless TIM_URS
is 1) and the following registers are updated:
The
prescaler shadow register is reloaded with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_PSC register).
auto-reload active register is updated with the buffer value (contents of the TIMx_ARR register). If the
update source is a counter overflow, the auto-reload is updated before the counter is reloaded, so that the
next period is the expected one. The counter is loaded with the new value.

10.3.3. Clock Selection
The counter clock can be provided by the following clock sources:
Internal
clock (PCLK)
clock mode 1: external input pin (TIy)
External clock mode 2: external trigger input (ETR)
Internal trigger input (ITR0): using the other timer as prescaler. Refer to "10.3.14.1. Using One Timer as
Prescaler for the Other Timer" on page 195 for more details.
10.3.3.1. Internal Clock Source (CK_INT)
External
The internal clock is selected when the slave mode controller is disabled (TIM_SMS = 000 in the TIMx_SMCR
register). In this mode, the TIM_CEN, TIM_DIR (in the TIMx_CR1 register), and TIM_UG bits (in the TIMx_EGR
register) are actual control bits and can be changed only by software, except for TIM_UG, which remains cleared
automatically. As soon as the TIM_CEN bit is written to 1, the prescaler is clocked by the internal clock CK_INT.
Figure 10.12 shows the behavior of the control circuit and the up-counter in normal mode, without prescaling.
Figure 10.12. Control Circuit in Normal Mode, Internal Clock Divided by 1
Rev 1.1
179
10.3.3.2. External Clock Source Mode 1
This mode is selected when TIM_SMS = 111 in the TIMx_SMCR register. The counter can count at each rising or
falling edge on a selected input. Figure 10.13 shows the registers and signals used in the example that follows.
Figure 10.13. TI2 External Clock Connection Example
For example, to configure the up-counter to count in response to a rising edge on the TI2 input, use the following
procedure:
Configure
channel 2 to detect rising edges on the TI2 input: Write TIM_CC2S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1
register.
Configure the input filter duration: Write the TIM_IC2F bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (if no filter is
needed, keep TIM_IC2F = 0000).
Note: The capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it does not need to be configured.
Select
rising edge polarity: Write TIM_CC2P = 0 in the TIMx_CCER register.
the timer in external clock mode 1: Write TIM_SMS = 111 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Select TI2 as the input source: Write TIM_TS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Enable the counter: Write TIM_CEN = 1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter counts once and the INT_TIMTIF flag is set. The delay between the
rising edge on TI2 and the actual clock of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on the TI2 input. The
relationship between rising edges on TI2 and the resulting counter clocks is shown in Figure 10.14.
Configure

Rev 1.1
10.3.3.3. External Clock Source Mode 2
This mode is selected by writing TIM_ECE = 1 in the TIMx_SMCR register. The counter can count at each rising or
falling edge on the external trigger input ETR.
The TIM_EXTRIGSEL bits in the TIMx_OR register select a clock signal that drives ETR, as shown in Table 10.2.

TIMxCLK pin. If the TIM_CLKMSKEN bit in the TIMx_OR register is set, this signal is
AND’ed with the TIMxMSK pin providing a gated clock input.
Figure 10.15 gives an overview of the external trigger input block.
Figure 10.15. External Trigger Input Block
For example, to configure the up-counter to count each 2 rising edges on ETR, use the following procedure:
Since
no filter is needed in this example, write TIM_ETF = 0000 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Set the prescaler: Write TIM_ETPS = 01 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Select rising edge detection on ETR: WriteTIM_ETP = 0 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Enable external clock mode 2: Write TIM_ECE = 1 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Enable the counter: Write TIM_CEN = 1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
The counter counts once each 2 ETR rising edges. The delay between the rising edge on ETR and the actual clock
of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on the ETRP signal.
Figure 10.16 illustrates counting every two rising edges of ETR using external clock mode 2.

10.3.4. Capture/Compare Channels
Each capture/compare channel is built around a capture/compare register including a shadow register, an input
stage for capture with digital filter, multiplexing and prescaler, and an output stage with comparator and output
control.
Figure 10.17 gives an overview of the input stage of one capture/compare channel. The input stage samples the
corresponding TIy input to generate a filtered signal (TIyF). Then an edge detector with polarity selection generates
a signal (TIyFPy) which can be used either as trigger input by the slave mode controller or as the capture
command. It is prescaled before the capture register (ICyPS).
Figure 10.17. Capture/Compare Channel (Example: Channel 1 Input Stage)
The output stage generates an intermediate reference signal, OCyREF, which is only used internally. OCyREF is
always active high, but it may be inverted to create the output signal, OCy, that controls a GPIO output.
Figure 10.18 shows the basic elements of a capture/compare channel.
182
Rev 1.1
Figure 10.18. Capture/Compare Channel 1 Main Circuit
Figure 10.19 show details of the output stage of a capture/compare channel.
Figure 10.19. Output Stage of Capture/Compare Channel (Channel 1)
The capture/compare block is made of a buffer register and a shadow register. Writes and reads always access the
buffer register.
In capture mode, captures are first written to the shadow register, then copied into the buffer register.
In compare mode, the content of the buffer register is copied into the shadow register which is compared to the
counter
10.3.5. Input Capture Mode
In input capture mode, a capture/compare register (TIMx_CCRy) latches the value of the counter after a transition
is detected by the corresponding ICy signal. When a capture occurs, the corresponding INT_TIMCCyIF flag in the
INT_TIMxFLAG register is set, and an interrupt request is sent if enabled.
If a capture occurs when the INT_TIMCCyIF flag is already high, then the missed capture flag INT_TIMMISSCCyIF
in the INT_TIMxMISS register is set. INT_TIMCCyIF can be cleared by software writing a 1 to its bit or reading the
captured data stored in the TIMx_CCRy register. To clear the INT_TIMMISSCCyIF bit, write a 1 to it.
The following example shows how to capture the counter value in the TIMx_CCR1 when the TI1 input rises.
Rev 1.1
183
Select
the active input: TIMx_CCR1 must be linked to the TI1 input, so write the TIM_CC1S bits to 01 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register. As soon as TIM_CC1S becomes different from 00, the channel is configured in
input and the TIMx_CCR1 register becomes read-only.
Program the required input filter duration with respect to the signal connected to the timer, when the input
is one of the TIy (ICyF bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register). Consider a situation in which, when toggling, the
input signal is unstable during at most 5 internal clock cycles. The filter duration must be longer than these
5 clock cycles. The transition on TI1 can be validated when 8 consecutive samples with the new level have
been detected (sampled at PCLK frequency). To do this, write the TIM_IC1F bits to 0011 in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register.
Select the edge of the active transition on the TI1 channel: Write the TIM_CC1P bit to 0 in the TIMx_CCER
register (rising edge in this case).
Program the input prescaler: In this example, the capture is to be performed at each valid transition, so the
prescaler is disabled (write the TIM_IC1PSC bits to 00 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register).
Enable capture from the counter into the capture register: Set the TIM_CC1E bit in the TIMx_CCER
register.
If needed, enable the related interrupt request by setting the INT_TIMCC1IF bit in the INT_TIMxCFG
register.
When an input capture occurs:

TIMx_CCR1 register gets the value of the counter on the active transition.
flag is set (capture/compare interrupt flag). The missed capture/compare flag INT_TIMMISSCC1IF
in INT_TIMxMISS is also set if another capture occurs before the INT_TIMCC1IF flag is cleared.
An interrupt may be generated if enabled by the INT_TIMCC1IF bit.
INT_TIMCC1IF
To detect missed captures reliably, read captured data in TIMxCCRy before checking the missed capture/compare
flag. This sequence avoids missing a capture that could happen after reading the flag and before reading the data.
Note: Software can generate IC interrupt requests by setting the corresponding TIM_CCyG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
10.3.6. PWM Input Mode
This mode is a particular case of input capture mode. The procedure is the same except:
Two
ICy signals are mapped on the same TIy input.
These two ICy signals are active on edges with opposite polarity.
One of the two TIyFP signals is selected as trigger input and the slave mode controller is configured in
reset mode.
For example, to measure the period in the TIMx_CCR1 register and the duty cycle in the TIMx_CCR2 register of
the PWM applied on TI1, use the following procedure depending on CK_INT frequency and prescaler value:
Select
the active input for TIMx_CCR1: write the TIM_CC1S bits to 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register (TI1
selected).
Select the active polarity for TI1FP1, used both for capture in the TIMx_CCR1 and counter clear, by writing
the TIM_CC1P bit to 0 (active on rising edge).
Select the active input for TIMx_CCR2by writing the TIM_CC2S bits to 10 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register
(TI1 selected).
Select the active polarity for TI1FP2 (used for capture in the TIMx_CCR2) by writing the TIM_CC2P bit to 1
(active on falling edge).
Select the valid trigger input by writing the TIM_TS bits to 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register (TI1FP1
selected).
Configure the slave mode controller in reset mode by writing the TIM_SMS bits to 100 in the TIMx_SMCR
register.
Enable the captures by writing the TIM_CC1E and TIM_CC2E bits to 1 in the TIMx_CCER register.

10.3.7. Forced Output Mode
In output mode (CCyS bits = 00 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register), software can force each output compare signal
(OCyREF and then OCy) to an active or inactive level independently of any comparison between the output
compare register and the counter.
To force an output compare signal (OCyREF/OCy) to its active level, write 101 in the TIM_OCyM bits in the
corresponding TIMx_CCMR1 register. OCyREF is forced high (OCyREF is always active high) and OCy gets the
opposite value to the TIM_CCyP polarity bit. For example, TIM_CCyP = 0 defines OCy as active high, so when
OCyREF is active, OCy is also set to a high level.
The OCyREF signal can be forced low by writing the TIM_OCyM bits to 100 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
The comparison between the TIMx_CCRy shadow register and the counter is still performed and allows the
INT_TIMxCCRyIF flag to be set. Interrupt requests can be sent accordingly. This is described in “10.3.8. Output
Compare Mode” .
10.3.8. Output Compare Mode
This mode is used to control an output waveform or to indicate when a period of time has elapsed.
When a match is found between the capture/compare register and the counter, the output compare function:
Assigns
the corresponding output pin to a programmable value defined by the output compare mode (the
TIM_OCyM bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register) and the output polarity (the TIM_CCyP bit in the
TIMx_CCER register). The output can be frozen (TIM_OCyM = 000), be set active (TIM_OCyM = 001), be
set inactive (TIM_OCyM = 010), or can toggle (TIM_OCyM = 011) on the match.
Sets a flag in the interrupt flag register (the INT_TIMCCyIF bit in the INT_TIMxFLAG register).
Generates an interrupt if the corresponding interrupt mask is set (the TIM_CCyIF bit in the INT_TIMxCFG
register).
The TIMx_CCRy registers can be programmed with or without buffer registers using the TIM_OCyBE bit in the
TIMx_CCMR1 register.
In output compare mode, the UEV has no effect on OCyREF or the OCy output. The timing resolution is one count
of the counter. Output compare mode can also be used to output a single pulse (in one pulse mode).
Procedure:
1. Select the counter clock (internal, external, and prescaler).
2. Write the desired data in the TIMx_ARR and TIMx_CCRy registers.
3. Set the INT_TIMCCyIF bit in INT_TIMxCFG if an interrupt request is to be generated.
4. Select the output mode. For example, you must write TIM_OCyM = 011, TIM_OCyBE = 0, TIM_CCyP = 0
Rev 1.1
185
and TIM_CCyE = 1 to toggle the OCy output pin when TIMx_CNT matches TIMx_CCRy, TIMx_CCRy
buffer is not used, OCy is enabled and active high.
5. Enable the counter: Set the TIM_CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.
To control the output waveform, software can update the TIMx_CCRy register at any time, provided that the buffer
register is not enabled (TIM_OCyBE = 0). Otherwise TIMx_CCRy shadow register is updated only at the next UEV.
An example is given in Figure 10.21.
Figure 10.21. Output Compare Mode, Toggle on OC1
10.3.9. PWM Mode
Pulse width modulation mode allows you to generate a signal with a frequency determined by the value of the
TIMx_ARR register, and a duty cycle determined by the value of the TIMx_CCRy register.
PWM mode can be selected independently on each channel (one PWM per OCy output) by writing 110 (PWM
mode 1) or 111 (PWM mode 2) in the TIM_OCyM bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. The corresponding buffer
register must be enabled by setting the TIM_OCyBE bit in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Finally, in up-counting or
center-aligned mode the auto-reload buffer register must be enabled by setting the TIM_ARBE bit in the TIMx_CR1
register.
Because the buffer registers are only transferred to the shadow registers when a UEV occurs, before starting the
counter initialize all the registers by setting the TIM_UG bit in the TIMx_EGR register.
OCy polarity is software programmable using the TIM_CCyP bit in the TIMx_CCER register. It can be programmed
as active high or active low. OCy output is enabled by the TIM_CCyE bit in the TIMx_CCER register. Refer to the
TIMx_CCER register description in the Registers section for more details.
In PWM mode (1 or 2), TIMx_CNT and TIMx_CCRy are always compared to determine whether TIMx_CCRy ≤
TIMx_CNT or TIMx_CNT ≤ TIMx_CCRy, depending on the direction of the counter. The OCyREF signal is asserted
only:
When
the result of the comparison changes, or
When the output compare mode (TIM_OCyM bits in the TIMx_CCMR1 register) switches from the “frozen”
configuration (no comparison, TIM_OCyM = 000) to one of the PWM modes (TIM_OCyM = 110 or 111).
This allows software to force a PWM output to a particular state while the timer is running.
The timer is able to generate PWM in edge-aligned mode or center-aligned mode depending on the TIM_CMS bits
in the TIMx_CR1 register.

Rev 1.1
10.3.9.1. PWM Edge-Aligned Mode: Up-Counting Configuration
Up-counting is active when the TIM_DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low. Refer to "10.3.2.1. Up-Counting
Mode" on page 174.
The following example uses PWM mode 1. The reference PWM signal OCyREF is high as long as TIMx_CNT <
TIMx_CCRy, otherwise it becomes low. If the compare value in TIMx_CCRy is greater than the auto-reload value in
TIMx_ARR, then OCyREF is held at 1. If the compare value is 0, then OCyREF is held at 0. Figure 10.22 shows
some edge-aligned PWM waveforms in an example, where TIMx_ARR = 8.
Figure 10.22. Edge-Aligned PWM Waveforms (ARR = 8)
10.3.9.2. PWM Edge-Aligned Mode: Down-Counting Configuration
Down-counting is active when the TIM_DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is high. Refer to "10.3.2.2. DownCounting Mode" on page 176 for more information.
In PWM mode 1, the reference signal OCyREF is low as long as TIMx_CNT > TIMx_CCRy, otherwise it becomes
high. If the compare value in TIMx_CCRy is greater than the auto-reload value in TIMx_ARR, then OCyREF is held
at 1. Zero-percent PWM is not possible in this mode.
10.3.9.3. PWM Center-Aligned Mode
Center-aligned mode is active except when the TIM_CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register are 00 (all configurations
where TIM_CMS is non-zero have the same effect on the OCyREF/OCy signals). The compare flag is set when the
counter counts up, when it counts down, or when it counts up and down, depending on the TIM_CMS bits
configuration. The direction bit (TIM_DIR) in the TIMx_CR1 register is updated by hardware and must not be
changed by software. Refer to the "10.3.2.3. Center-Aligned Mode (Up/Down Counting)" on page 177 for more
information.
Figure 10.23 shows some center-aligned PWM waveforms in an example where:
TIMx_ARR

mode is the PWM mode 1
The output compare flag is set when the counter counts down corresponding to the center-aligned mode 1
selected for TIM_CMS = 01 in the TIMx_CR1 register
PWM
Rev 1.1
187
Figure 10.23. Center-Aligned PWM Waveforms (ARR = 8)
Hints on using center-aligned mode:
When
starting in center-aligned mode, the current up-down configuration is used. This means that the
counter counts up or down depending on the value written in the TIM_DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register.
The TIM_DIR and TIM_CMS bits must not be changed at the same time by the software.
Writing to the counter while running in center-aligned mode is not recommended as it can lead to
unexpected results. In particular:
The
direction is not updated when the value written to the counter that is greater than the auto-reload value
(TIMx_CNT > TIMx_ARR). For example, if the counter was counting up, it continues to count up.
The direction is updated when 0 or the TIMx_ARR value is written to the counter, but no UEV is generated.
The
safest way to use center-aligned mode is to generate an update by software (setting the TIM_UG bit in
the TIMx_EGR register) just before starting the counter, and not to write the counter while it is running.

Rev 1.1
10.3.10. One-Pulse Mode
One-pulse mode (OPM) is a special case of the previous modes. It allows the counter to be started in response to
a stimulus and to generate a pulse with a programmable length after a programmable delay.
Starting the counter can be controlled through the slave mode controller. Generating the waveform can be done in
output compare mode or PWM mode. Select OPM by setting the TIM_OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register. This
makes the counter stop automatically at the next UEV.
A pulse can be correctly generated only if the compare value is different from the counter initial value. Before
starting (when the timer is waiting for the trigger), the configuration must be:
In up-counting: TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCRy ≤ TIMx_ARR (in particular, 0 < TIMx_CCRy),
In down-counting: TIMx_CNT > TIMx_CCRy.
For example, to generate a positive pulse on OC1 with a length of tPULSE and after a delay of tDELAY as soon as
a rising edge is detected on the TI2 input pin, using TI2FP2 as trigger 1:
Map
TI2FP2 on TI2: Write TIM_IC2S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
TI2FP2 must detect a rising edge. Write TIM_CC2P = 0 in the TIMx_CCER register.
Configure TI2FP2 as trigger for the slave mode controller (TRGI): Write TIM_TS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR
register.
Use TI2FP2 to start the counter: Write TIM_SMS to 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register (trigger mode).
The OPM waveform is defined: Write the compare registers, taking into account the clock frequency and
the counter prescaler.
The
tDELAY is defined by the value written in the TIMx_CCR1 register.
tPULSE is defined by the difference between the auto-reload value and the compare value (TIMx_ARR TIMx_CCR1).
The

build a waveform with a transition from 0 to 1 when a compare match occurs and a transition from 1 to 0
when the counter reaches the auto-reload value:
Enable
PWM mode 2: Write TIM_OC1M = 111 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
enable the buffer registers: Write TIM_OC1BE = 1 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register and TIM_ARBE in the
TIMx_CR1 register. In this case, also write the compare value in the TIMx_CCR1 register, the auto-reload value in
the TIMx_ARR register, generate an update by setting the TIM_UG bit, and wait for external trigger event on TI2.
TIM_CC1P is written to 0 in this example.
Optionally,
In the example, the TIM_DIR and TIM_CMS bits in the TIMx_CR1 register should be low.
Since only one pulse is desired, software should set the TIM_OPM bit in the TIMx_CR1 register to stop the counter
at the next UEV (when the counter rolls over from the auto-reload value back to 0).
Figure 10.24 illustrates this example.

10.3.10.1. A Special Case: OCy Fast Enable
In one-pulse mode, the edge detection on the TIy input sets the TIM_CEN bit, which enables the counter. Then the
comparison between the counter and the compare value toggles the output. However, several clock cycles are
needed for this operation, and it limits the minimum delay (tDELAY min) achievable.
To output a waveform with the minimum delay, set the TIM_OCyFE bit in the TIMx_CCMR1 register. Then
OCyREF and OCy are forced in response to the stimulus, without taking the comparison into account. Its new level
is the same as if a compare match had occurred. TIM_OCyFE acts only if the channel is configured in PWM mode
1 or 2.
10.3.11. Encoder Interface Mode
To select encoder interface mode, write TIM_SMS = 001 in the TIMx_SMCR register to count only TI2 edges,
TIM_SMS = 010 to count only TI1 edges, and TIM_SMS = 011 to count both TI1 and TI2 edges.
Select the TI1 and TI2 polarity by programming the TIM_CC1P and TIM_CC2P bits in the TIMx_CCER register. If
needed, program the input filter as well.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface to an incremental encoder (see Table 10 3). Assuming that it is
enabled (the TIM_CEN bit in the TIMx_CR1 register = 1), the counter is clocked by each valid transition on TI1FP1
or TI2FP2 (TI1 and TI2 after input filter and polarity selection, TI1FP1 = TI1 if not filtered and not inverted, TI2FP2
= TI2 if not filtered and not inverted.) The timer input logic evaluates the sequence of the two inputs’ values, and
from this generates both count pulses and the direction signal. Depending on the sequence, the counter counts up
or down, and hardware modifies the TIM_DIR bit in the TIMx_CR1 register accordingly. The TIM_DIR bit is
calculated at each transition on any input (TI1 or TI2), whether the counter is counting on TI1 only, TI2 only, or both
TI1 and TI2.
Encoder interface mode acts simply as an external clock with direction selection. This means that the counter
counts continuously between 0 and the auto-reload value in the TIMx_ARR register (0 to TIMx_ARR or TIMx_ARR
down to 0 depending on the direction), so TIMx_ARR must be configured before starting. In the same way, the
capture, compare, prescaler, and trigger output features continue to work as normal.
In this mode the counter is modified automatically following the speed and the direction of the incremental encoder,
and therefore its contents always represent the encoder’s position. The count direction corresponds to the rotation
direction of the connected sensor. Table 10.3 summarizes the possible combinations, assuming TI1 and TI2 do not
switch at the same time.

An external incremental encoder can be connected directly to the MCU without external interface logic. However,
comparators are normally used to convert an encoder’s differential outputs to digital signals, and this greatly
increases noise immunity. If a third encoder output indicates the mechanical zero (or index) position, it may be
connected to an external interrupt input and can trigger a counter reset.

Rev 1.1
Figure 10.25 gives an example of counter operation, showing count signal generation and direction control. It also
shows how input jitter is compensated for when both inputs are used for counting. This might occur if the sensor is
positioned near one of the switching points. This example assumes the following configuration:
TIM_CC1S
= 01 (TIMx_CCMR1 register, IC1FP1 mapped on TI1).
= 01 (TIMx_CCMR2 register, IC2FP2 mapped on TI2).
TIM_CC1P = 0 (TIMx_CCER register, IC1FP1 non-inverted, IC1FP1 = TI1).
TIM_CC2P = 0 (TIMx_CCER register, IC2FP2 non-inverted, IC2FP2 = TI2).
TIM_SMS = 011 (TIMx_SMCR register, both inputs are active on both rising and falling edges).
TIM_CEN = 1 (TIMx_CR1 register, counter is enabled).
TIM_CC2S

Figure 10.26 gives an example of counter behavior when IC1FP1 polarity is inverted (same configuration as above
except TIM_CC1P = 1).
Figure 10.26. Example of Encoder Interface Mode with IC1FP1 Polarity Inverted
The timer configured in encoder interface mode provides information on a sensor’s current position. To obtain
dynamic information (speed, acceleration/deceleration), measure the period between two encoder events using a
second timer configured in capture mode. The output of the encoder that indicates the mechanical zero can be
used for this purpose. Depending on the time between two events, the counter can also be read at regular times.
Do this by latching the counter value into a third input capture register. (In this case the capture signal must be
periodic and can be generated by another timer).
Rev 1.1

10.3.12. Timer Input XOR Function
The TIM_TI1S bit in the TIM1_CR2 register allows the input filter of channel 1 to be connected to the output of a
XOR gate that combines the three input pins TIMxC2 to TIMxC4.
The XOR output can be used with all the timer input functions such as trigger or input capture. It is especially useful
to interface to Hall effect sensors.
10.3.13. Timers and External Trigger Synchronization
The timers can be synchronized with an external trigger in several modes: reset mode, gated mode, and trigger
mode.
10.3.13.1. Slave Mode: Reset Mode
Reset mode reinitializes the counter and its prescaler in response to an event on a trigger input. Moreover, if the
TIM_URS bit in the TIMx_CR1 register is low, a UEV is generated. Then all the buffered registers (TIMx_ARR,
TIMx_CCRy) are updated.
In the following example, the up-counter is cleared in response to a rising edge on the TI1 input:
Configure
the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI1:
Configure
the input filter duration. In this example, no filter is required so TIM_IC1F = 0000.
capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it is not configured.
The TIM_CC1S bits select the input capture source only, TIM_CC1S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
Write TIM_CC1P = 0 in the TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity, and detect rising edges only.
The

the timer in reset mode: Write TIM_SMS = 100 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
TI1 as the input source by writing TIM_TS = 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Start the counter: Write TIM_CEN = 1 in the TIMx_CR1 register.
The counter starts counting on the internal clock, then behaves normally until the TI1 rising edge. When TI1 rises,
the counter is cleared and restarts from 0. In the meantime, the trigger flag is set (the INT_TIMTIF bit in the
INT_TIMxFLAG register) and an interrupt request can be sent if enabled (depending on the INT_TIMTIF bit in the
INT_TIMxCFG register).
Select
Figure 10.27 shows this behavior when the auto-reload register TIMx_ARR = 0x36. The delay between the rising
edge on TI1 and the actual reset of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on the TI1 input.

10.3.13.2. Slave Mode: Gated Mode
In gated mode the counter is enabled depending on the level of a selected input.
In the following example, the up-counter counts only when the TI1 input is low:
Configure
channel 1 to detect low levels on TI1:
Configure
the input filter duration. In this example, no filter is required, so TIM_IC1F = 0000.
capture prescaler is not used for triggering, so it is not configured.
The TIM_CC1S bits select the input capture source only, TIM_CC1S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.
Write TIM_CC1P = 1 in the TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect low level only).

TI1 as the input source by writing TIM_TS = 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Enable the counter: Write TIM_CEN = 1 in the TIMx_CR1 register. In gated mode, the counter does not
start if TIM_CEN = 0, regardless of the trigger input level.
The counter starts counting on the internal clock as long as TI1 is low and stops as soon as TI1 becomes high. The
INT_TIMTIF flag in the INT_TIMxFLAG register is set when the counter starts and when it stops. The delay
between the rising edge on TI1 and the actual stop of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit on the TI1
input.

In trigger mode the counter starts in response to an event on a selected input.
In the following example, the up-counter starts in response to a rising edge on the TI2 input:
Configure
channel 2 to detect rising edges on TI2:
Configure
the input filter duration. In this example, no filter is required so TIM_IC2F = 0000.

The TIM_CC2S bits select the input capture source only, TIM_CC2S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register.

The
Configure
the timer in trigger mode: Write TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Select TI2 as the input source by writing TIM_TS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
When a rising edge occurs on TI2, the counter starts counting on the internal clock and the INT_TIMTIF flag is set.
The delay between the rising edge on TI2 and the actual start of the counter is due to the resynchronization circuit
on the TI2 input.
Figure 10.29 illustrates the example in which the counter is started by a rising edge on TI2.

10.3.13.4. Slave Mode: External Clock Mode 2 +Trigger Mode
External clock mode 2 can be used in combination with another slave mode (except external clock mode 1 and
encoder mode). In this case, the ETR signal is used as external clock input, and another input can be selected as
trigger input when operating in reset mode, gated mode or trigger mode. It is not recommended to select ETR as
TRGI through the TIM_TS bits of TIMx_SMCR register.
In the following example, shown in Figure 10.30, the up-counter is incremented at each rising edge of the ETR
signal as soon as a rising edge of TI1 occurs:
Configure
the external trigger input circuit: Program the TIMx_SMCR register as follows:
TIM_ETF
= 0000: no filter.

TIM_ETP = 0: detection of rising edges on ETR and TIM_ECE = 1 to enable the external clock mode 2.

the channel 1 to detect rising edges on TI, as follows:

capture prescaler is not used for triggering and does not need to be configured.
TIM_CC1S = 01 in the TIMx_CCMR1 register to select only the input capture source.
TIM_CC1P = 0 in the TIMx_CCER register to validate the polarity (and detect rising edge only).

Configure
the timer in trigger mode: WriteTIM_SMS = 110 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
Select TI1 as the input source by writing TIM_TS = 101 in the TIMx_SMCR register.
A rising edge on TI1 enables the counter and sets the INT_TIMTIF flag. The counter then counts on ETR rising
edges. The delay between the rising edge of the ETR signal and the actual reset of the counter is due to the
resynchronization circuit on ETRP input.

10.3.14. Timer Synchronization
The two timers can be linked together internally for timer synchronization or chaining. A timer configured in master
mode can reset, start, stop or clock the counter of the other timer configured in slave mode.
Figure 10.31 presents an overview of the trigger selection and the master mode selection blocks.
10.3.14.1. Using One Timer as Prescaler for the Other Timer
For example, to configure Timer 1 to act as a prescaler for Timer 2:
Configure
Timer 1 in master mode so that it outputs a periodic trigger signal on each UEV. Writing
TIM_MMS = 010 in the TIM1_CR2 register causes a rising edge to be output on TRGO each time a UEV is
generated.
To connect the TRGO output of Timer 1 to Timer 2, configure Timer 2 in slave mode using ITR0 as an
internal trigger. Write TIM_TS = 100 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Put the slave mode controller in external clock mode 1: Write TIM_SMS = 111 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
This causes Timer 2 to be clocked by the rising edge of the periodic Timer 1 trigger signal, which
corresponds to the Timer 1 counter overflow.
Finally, enable both timers: Set their respective TIM_CEN bits in the TIMx_CR1 register.
Note: If OCy is selected on Timer 1 as trigger output (TIM_MMS = 1xx), its rising edge is used to clock the counter of Timer 2.

10.3.14.2. Using One Timer to Enable the Other Timer
In this example, shown in Figure 10.32, the enable of Timer 2 is controlled with the output compare 1 of Timer 1.
Timer 2 counts on the divided internal clock only when OC1REF of Timer 1 is high. Both counter clock frequencies
are divided by 3 by the prescaler compared to CK_INT (fCK_CNT = fCK_INT /3).
Configure
Timer 1 in master mode to send its Output Compare Reference (OC1REF) signal as trigger
output: Write TIM_MMS = 100 in the TIM1_CR2 register.
Configure the Timer 1 OC1REF waveform (TIM1_CCMR1 register).
Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1: Write TIM_TS = 000 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Configure Timer 2 in gated mode: Write TIM_SMS = 101 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Enable Timer 2: Write 1 in the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM2_CR1 register.
Start Timer 1: Write 1 in the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM1_CR1 register.
Note: The counter 2 clock is not synchronized with counter 1. This mode only affects the Timer 2 counter enable signal.
Figure 10.32. Gating Timer 2 with OC1REF of Timer 1
In the example in Figure 10.32, the Timer 2 counter and prescaler are not initialized before being started. So they
start counting from their current value. It is possible to start from a given value by resetting both timers before
starting Timer 1, then writing the desired value in the timer counters. The timers can easily be reset by software
using the TIM_UG bit in the TIMx_EGR registers.
The next example, shown in Figure 10.33, synchronizes Timer 1 and Timer 2. Timer 1 is the master and starts from
0. Timer 2 is the slave and starts from 0xE7. The prescaler ratio is the same for both timers. Timer 2 stops when
Timer 1 is disabled by writing 0 to the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM1_CR1 register:
Configure
Timer 1 in master mode to send its Output Compare Reference (OC1REF) signal as trigger
output: Write TIM_MMS = 100 in the TIM1_CR2 register)
Configure the Timer 1 OC1REF waveform (TIM1_CCMR1 register).
Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1: Write TIM_TS = 000 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Configure Timer 2 in gated mode: Write TIM_SMS = 101 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Reset Timer 1: Write 1 in the TIM_UG bit (TIM1_EGR register.
Reset Timer 2 by writing 1 in the TIM_UG bit (TIM2_EGR register).
Initialize Timer 2 to 0xE7: Write 0xE7 in the Timer 2 counter (TIM2_CNTL).
Enable Timer 2: Write 1 in the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM2_CR1 register.
Start Timer 1: Write 1 in the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM1_CR1 register.
Stop Timer 1: Write 0 in the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM1_CR1 register.

Figure 10.33. Gating Timer 2 with Enable of Timer 1
10.3.14.3. Using One Timer to Start the Other Timer
In this example (see Figure 10.34), the enable of Timer 2 is set with the UEV of Timer 1. Timer 2 starts counting
from its current value (which can be non-zero) on the divided internal clock as soon as Timer 1 generates the UEV.
When Timer 2 receives the trigger signal its TIM_CEN bit is automatically set and the counter counts until 0 is
written to the TIM_CEN bit in the TIM2_CR1 register. Both counter clock frequencies are divided by 3 by the
prescaler compared to CK_INT (fCK_CNT = fCK_INT /3).
Configure
Timer 1 in master mode to send its UEV as trigger output: WriteTIM_MMS = 010 in the
TIM1_CR2 register.
Configure the Timer 1 period (TIM1_ARR register).
Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1: Write TIM_TS = 000 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Configure Timer 2 in trigger mode. Write TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Start Timer 1: Write 1 in the TIM_CEN bit in theTIM1_CR1 register.
Figure 10.34. Triggering Timer 2 with Update of Timer 1
As in the previous example, both counters can be initialized before starting counting. Figure 10.35 shows the
behavior with the same configuration shown in Figure 10.34, but in trigger mode instead of gated mode
(TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIM2_SMCR register).
Rev 1.1

Figure 10.35. Triggering Timer 2 with Enable of Timer 1
10.3.14.4. Starting both Timers Synchronously in Response to an External Trigger
This example sets the enable of Timer 1 when its TI1 input rises, and the enable of Timer 2 with the enable of 
Timer 1. To ensure the counters are aligned, Timer 1 must be configured in master/slave mode (slave with respect
to TI1, master with respect to Timer 2):
Configure
Timer 1 in master mode to send its Enable as trigger output: Write TIM_MMS = 001 in the
TIM1_CR2 register.
Configure Timer 1 slave mode to get the input trigger from TI1: Write TIM_TS = 100 in the TIM1_SMCR
register.
Configure Timer 1 in trigger mode: Write TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIM1_SMCR register.
Configure the Timer 1 in master/slave mode: Write TIM_MSM = 1 in the TIM1_SMCR register.
Configure Timer 2 to get the input trigger from Timer 1: Write TIM_TS = 000 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
Configure Timer 2 in trigger mode: Write TIM_SMS = 110 in the TIM2_SMCR register.
When a rising edge occurs on TI1 (Timer 1), both counters start counting synchronously on the internal clock and
both timers’ INT_TIMTIF flags are set. Figure 10.36 shows this in operation.
Note: In this example both timers are initialized before starting by setting their respective TIM_UG bits. Both counters starts
from 0, but an offset can be inserted between them by writing any of the counter registers (TIMx_CNT). The master/
slave mode inserts a delay between CNT_EN and CK_PSC on Timer 1.

10.4. Interrupts
Each timer has its own top-level NVIC interrupt. Writing 1 to the INT_TIMx bit in the INT_CFGSET register enables
the TIMx interrupt, and writing 1 to the INT_TIMx bit in the INT_CFGCLR register disables it. Chapter 3, Interrupt
System, describes the interrupt system in detail.
Several kinds of timer events can generate a timer interrupt, and each has a status flag in the INT_TIMxFLAG
register to identify the reason(s) for the interrupt:
INT_TIMTIF
– set by a rising edge on an external trigger, either edge in gated mode
INT_TIMCCRyIF – set by a channel y input capture or output compare event
INT_TIMUIF – set by a UEV
Clear bits in INT_TIMxFLAG by writing a 1 to their bit position. When a channel is in capture mode, reading the
TIMx_CCRy register will also clear the INT_TIMCCRyIF bit.
The INT_TIMxCFG register controls whether or not the INT_TIMxFLAG bits actually request a top-level NVIC timer
interrupt. Only the events whose bits are set to 1 in INT_TIMxCFG can do so.
If an input capture or output compare event occurs and its INT_TIMMISSCCyIF is already set, the corresponding
capture/compare missed flag is set in the INT_TMRxMISS register. Clear a bit in the INT_TMRxMISS register by
writing a 1 to it.

Master Mode Selection.
This selects the information to be sent in master mode to a slave timer for synchronization using the trigger output (TRGO).

This mode is used to start both timers at the same time or to control a window in
which a slave timer is enabled. The counter enable signal is generated by
either the TIM_CEN control bit or the trigger input when configured in gated
mode. When the counter enable signal is controlled by the trigger input there is
a delay on TRGO except if the master/slave mode is selected (see the

Notes:
1. Setting the TIM_ECE bit has the same effect as selecting external clock mode
1 with TRGI connected to ETRF (TIM_SMS=111 and TIM_TS=111).
2. It is possible to use this mode simultaneously with the following slave modes:
reset mode, gated mode and trigger mode. TRGI must not be connected to
ETRF in this case (the TIM_TS bits must not be 111).

Slave Mode Selection.
When external signals are selected the active edge of the trigger signal

000: Slave mode disabled.
If TIM_CEN = 1 then the prescaler is clocked directly by the internal clock.
001: Encoder mode 1. Counter counts up/down on TI1FP1 edge depending
on TI2FP2 level.
010: Encoder mode 2. Counter counts up/down on TI2FP2 edge depending
on TI1FP1 level.
011: Encoder mode 3. Counter counts up/down on both TI1FP1 and TI2FP2
edges depending on the level of the other input.
100: Reset Mode. Rising edge of the selected trigger signal (TRGI) >reinitializes the counter and generates an update of the registers.
101: Gated Mode. The counter clock is enabled when the trigger signal
(TRGI) is high. The counter stops (but is not reset) as soon as the trigger
becomes low. Both starting and stopping the counter are controlled.
110: Trigger Mode. The counter starts at a rising edge of the trigger TRGI (but
it is not reset). Only starting the counter is controlled.
111: External Clock Mode 1. Rising edges of the selected trigger (TRGI) clock
the counter.
Note: Gated mode must not be used if TI1F_ED is selected as the trigger input
(TIM_TS = 100). TI1F_ED outputs 1 pulse for each transition on TI1F, whereas
gated mode checks the level of the trigger signal.

Timer channels can be programmed as inputs (capture mode) or outputs (compare mode). The direction of
channel y is defined by TIM_CCyS in this register.
The other bits in this register have different functions in input and in output modes. The TIM_OC* fields only apply
to a channel configured as an output (TIM_CCyS = 0), and the TIM_IC* fields only apply to a channel configured
as an input (TIM_CCyS > 0).

TIM_OC2M
[14:12]
RW
Output Compare 2 Mode. (Applies only if TIM_CC2S = 0.)
Define the behavior of the output reference signal OC2REF from which
OC2 derives. OC2REF is active high whereas OC2''s active level depends
on the TIM_CC2P bit.
000: Frozen - The comparison between the output compare register TIMx_CCR2 and the counter TIMx_CNT has no effect on the outputs.
001: Set OC2REF to active on match. The OC2REF signal is forced high
when the counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 2
(TIMx_CCR2)
010: Set OC2REF to inactive on match. OC2REF signal is forced low
when the counter TIMx_CNT matches the capture/compare register 2
(TIMx_CCR2).
011: Toggle - OC2REF toggles when TIMx_CNT = TIMx_CCR2.
100: Force OC2REF inactive.
101: Force OC2REF active.
110: PWM mode 1 - In up-counting, OC2REF is active as long as TIMx_CNT < TIMx_CCR2, otherwise OC2REF is inactive. In down-counting,
OC2REF is inactive if TIMx_CNT > TIMx_CCR2, otherwise OC2REF is
active.
111: PWM mode 2 - In up-counting, OC2REF is inactive if TIMx_CNT <
TIMx_CCR2, otherwise OC2REF is active. In down-counting, OC2REF is
active if TIMx_CNT > TIMx_CCR2, otherwise it is inactive.
Note: In PWM mode 1 or 2, the OC2REF level changes only when the result of
the comparison changes or when the output compare mode switches from
“frozen” mode to “PWM” mode.
TIM_OC2BE
[11]
RW
Output Compare 2 Buffer Enable. (Applies only if TIM_CC2S = 0.)
0: Buffer register for TIMx_CCR2 is disabled. TIMx_CCR2 can be written
at anytime, the new value is used by the shadow register immediately.
1: Buffer register for TIMx_CCR2 is enabled. Read/write operations
access the buffer register. TIMx_CCR2 buffer value is loaded in the
shadow register at each UEV.
Note: The PWM mode can be used without enabling the buffer register only in
one pulse mode (TIM_OPM bit set in the TIMx_CR2 register), otherwise the
behavior is undefined.
TIM_OC2FE
[10]
RW
Output Compare 2 Fast Enable. (Applies only if TIM_CC2S = 0.)
This bit speeds the effect of an event on the trigger in input on the OC2
output.
0: OC2 behaves normally depending on the counter and TIM_CCR2 values even when the trigger is ON. The minimum delay to activate OC2
when an edge occurs on the trigger input is 5 clock cycles.
1: An active edge on the trigger input acts like a compare match on the
OC2 output. OC2 is set to the compare level independently from the result
of the comparison. Delay to sample the trigger input and to activate OC2
output is reduced to 3 clock cycles. TIM_OC2FE acts only if the channel is
configured in PWM 1 or PWM 2 mode.

TIM_ARR is the value to be loaded in the shadow auto-reload register.
The auto-reload register is buffered. Writing or reading the auto-reload register accesses the buffer register. The content of the buffer register is transfered in the shadow register permanently or at each UEV, depending on the
auto-reload buffer enable bit (TIM_ARBE) in TMRx_CR1 register. The UEV
is sent when the counter reaches the overflow point (or underflow point
when down-counting) and if the TIM_UDIS bit equals 0 in the TMRx_CR1
register. It can also be generated by software. The counter is blocked while
the auto-reload value is 0.

If the CC1 channel is configured as an output (TIM_CC1S = 0):
TIM_CCR1 is the buffer value to be loaded in the actual capture/compare 1
register. It is loaded permanently if the preload feature is not selected in the
TMR1_CCMR1 register (bit OC1PE). Otherwise the buffer value is copied to
the shadow capture/compare 1 register when an UEV occurs. The active
capture/compare register contains the value to be compared to the counter
TMR1_CNT and signaled on the OC1 output.
If the CC1 channel is configured as an input (TIM_CC1S is not 0):
CCR1 is the counter value transferred by the last input capture 1 event
(IC1).

11. ADC (Analog to Digital Converter)
The EM359x ADC is a first-order sigma-delta converter with the following features:
Resolution
of up to 14 bits
times as fast as 5.33 µs (188 kHz)
Differential and single-ended conversions from six external and four internal sources
One voltage range (differential): –VREF to +VREF
Choice of internal or external VREF
Internal VREF may be output to PB0 or external VREF may be derived from PB0
Digital offset and gain correction
Dedicated DMA channel with one-shot and continuous operating modes

Figure 11.1. ADC Block Diagram
While the ADC Module supports both single-ended and differential inputs, the ADC input stage always operates in
differential mode. Single-ended conversions are performed by connecting one of the differential inputs to VREF/2
while fully differential operation uses two external inputs..
Note: The regulator input voltage, VDD_PADS, cannot be measured using the ADC, but it can be measured through Ember
software.
Rev 1.1
229
11.1. Setup and Configuration
To use the ADC follow this procedure, described in more detail in the next sections:
Configure
any GPIO pins to be used by the ADC in analog mode.
Configure the voltage reference (internal or external).
Set the offset and gain values.
If using DMA, reset the ADC DMA, define the DMA buffer, and start the DMA in the proper transfer mode.
If interrupts will be used, configure the top-level and second-level ADC interrupt bits.
Write the ADC configuration register to define the inputs, sample time, and start the conversions.
11.1.1. GPIO Usage
A GPIO pin used by the ADC as an input or voltage reference must be configured in analog mode by writing 0 to its
4-bit field in the proper GPIO_PxCFGH/L register. Note that a GPIO pin in analog mode cannot be used for any
digital functions, and GPIO_PxIN always reads it as 1. Only certain pins can be configured in analog mode. These
are listed in Table 11.1.

See "7. GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output)" on page 53 for more information about how to configure GPIO.
11.1.2. Voltage Reference
The ADC voltage reference (VREF), may be internally generated or externally sourced from PB0. If internally
generated, it may optionally be output on PB0. To output the internal VREF on PB0, the ADC must be enabled
(ADC_ENABLE bit set in the ADC_CFG register) and PB0 must be configured in analog mode.
To use an external reference, the Ember software must be called after reset and after waking from deep sleep. PB0
must also be configured in analog mode using GPIO_PBCFGH[3:0]. See the Ember software documentation for
more information on using an external reference.

Rev 1.1
11.1.3. Offset/Gain Correction
When a conversion is complete, the 16-bit converted data is processed in several steps by offset/gain correction
hardware:
1. The initial signed ADC conversion result is added to the 16-bit signed (2’s complement) value of the ADC
offset register (ADC_OFFSET).
2. The offset-corrected data is multiplied by the 16-bit ADC gain register, ADC_GAIN, to produce a 16-bit
signed result. If the product is greater than 0x7FFF (32767), or less than 0x8000 (-32768), it is limited to
that value and the INT_ADCSAT bit is set in the INT_ADCFLAG register.
3. The offset/gain corrected value is divided by two to produce the final result.
ADC_GAIN is an unsigned scaled 16-bit value: ADC_GAIN[15] is the integer part of the gain factor and
ADC_GAIN[14:0] is the fractional part. As a result, ADC_GAIN values can represent gain factors from 0 through 
(2 – 2–15). Although ADC_GAIN can represent a much greater range, its purpose is to correct small gain error, and
in practice is loaded with values within a range of about 0.95 to 1.05.
Reset initializes the offset to zero (ADC_OFFSET = 0) and gain factor to one (ADC_GAIN = 0x8000)..
11.1.4. DMA
The ADC DMA channel writes converted data, which incorporates the offset/gain correction, into a DMA buffer in
RAM.
The ADC DMA buffer is defined by two registers:
ADC_DMABEG
is the start address of the buffer and must be even.
specifies the size of the buffer in 16-bit samples, or half its length in bytes.
To prepare the DMA channel for operation, reset it by writing the ADC_DMARST bit in the ADC_DMACFG register,
then start the DMA in either linear or auto wrap mode by setting the ADC_DMALOAD bit in the ADC_DMACFG
register. The ADC_DMAAUTOWRAP bit in the ADC_DMACFG register selects the DMA mode: 0 for linear mode,
1 for auto wrap mode.
ADC_DMASIZE
In
linear mode the DMA writes to the buffer until the number of samples given by ADC_DMASIZE has been
output. The DMA then stops and sets the INT_ADCULDFULL bit in the INT_ADCFLAG register. If another
ADC conversion completes before the DMA is reset or the ADC is disabled, the INT_ADCOVF bit in the
INT_ADCFLAG register is set.
In auto wrap mode the DMA writes to the buffer until it reaches the end, then resets its pointer to the start
of the buffer and continues writing samples. The DMA transfers continue until the ADC is disabled or the
DMA is reset
When the DMA fills the lower and upper halves of the buffer, it sets the INT_ADCULDHALF and
INT_ADCULDFULL bits, respectively, in the INT_ADCFLAG register. The current location to which the DMA is
writing can also be determined by reading the ADC_DMACUR register.
11.1.5. ADC Configuration Register
The ADC configuration register (ADC_CFG) sets up most of the ADC operating parameters.
11.1.5.1. Input
The analog input of the ADC can be chosen from various sources. The analog input is configured with the
ADC_MUXP and ADC_MUXN bits within the ADC_CFG register. Table 11.2 shows the possible input selections.

11.1.5.2. Input Range
The single-ended input range is fixed as 0 V to VREF and the differential input range is fixed as –VREF to +VREF.
11.1.5.3. Sample Time
ADC sample time is programmed by selecting the sampling clock and the clocks per sample.
The
sampling clock may be either 1 MHz or 6 MHz. If the ADC_1MHZCLK bit in the ADC_CFG register is
clear, the 6 MHz clock is used; if it is set, the 1 MHz clock is selected. The 6 MHz sample clock offers faster
conversion times but the ADC resolution is lower than that achieved with the 1 MHz clock.
The number of clocks per sample is determined by the ADC_PERIOD bits in the ADC_CFG register.
ADC_PERIOD values select from 32 to 4096 sampling clocks in powers of two. Longer sample times
produce more significant bits. Regardless of the sample time, converted samples are always 16-bits in size
with the significant bits left-aligned within the value.
Table 11.4 shows the options for ADC sample times and the significant bits in the conversion results.

*Note: ADC sample timing is the same whether the EM359x is using the 24 MHz crystal oscillator or the 12 MHz high-speed
RC oscillator. This facilitates using the ADC soon after the CPU wakes from deep sleep, before switching to the crystal
oscillator.
11.2. Interrupts
The ADC has its own top-level interrupt in the NVIC. The ADC interrupt is enabled by writing the INT_ADC bit to
the INT_CFGSET register, and cleared by writing the INT_ADC bit to the INT_CFGCLR register. Chapter 3,
Interrupt System, describes the interrupt system in detail.
Five kinds of ADC events can generate an ADC interrupt, and each has a bit flag in the INT_ADCFLAG register to
identify the reason(s) for the interrupt:
INT_ADCOVF
– an ADC conversion result was ready but the DMA was disabled (DMA buffer overflow).
the gain correction multiplication exceeded the limits for a signed 16-bit number (gain
INT_ADCSAT–
saturation).
INT_ADCULDFULL – the DMA wrote to the last location in the buffer (DMA buffer full).
INT_ADCULDHALF – the DMA wrote to the last location of the first half of the DMA buffer (DMA buffer half
full).
INT_ADCDATA – there is data ready in the ADC_DATA register.
Bits in INT_ADCFLAG register may be cleared by writing a 1 to their position. Writing 0 to any bit in the
Rev 1.1
233
INT_ADCFLAG register is ineffectual.
The INT_ADCCFG register controls whether or not INT_ADCFLAG register bits actually propagate the ADC
interrupt to the NVIC. Only the events whose bits are 1 in the INT_ADCCFG register can do so.
For non-interrupt (polled) ADC operation set the INT_ADCCFG register to zero, and read the bit flags in the
INT_ADCFLAG register to determine the ADC status.
Note: Note: When making changes to the ADC configuration it is best to disable the DMA beforehand. If this isn’t done it can
be difficult to determine at which point the sampled data in the DMA buffer switched from the old configuration to the new
configuration. However, since the ADC will be left running, if it completes a conversion after the DMA is disabled, the
INT_ADCOVF flag will be set. To prevent these unwanted DMA buffer overflow indications, clear the INT_ADCOVF flag
immediately after enabling the DMA, preferably with interrupts off. Disabling the ADC in addition to the DMA is often
undesirable because of the additional analog startup time when it is re-enabled.
11.3. Operation
Setting the ADC_EN bit in the ADC_CFG register enables the ADC. Once the ADC is enabled, it performs
conversions continuously until it is disabled. If the ADC had previously been disabled, a 21 µs analog startup delay
is automatically imposed before the ADC starts conversions. The delay timing is performed in hardware and is
simply added to the time until the first conversion result is output.
When the ADC is first enabled, and/or if any change is made to ADC_CFG after it is enabled, the time until a result
is output is double the normal sample time. This is because the ADC’s internal design requires it to discard the first
conversion after startup or a configuration change. This is done automatically and is hidden from software.
Switching the system clock between OSCHF and OSC24M also causes the ADC to go through this startup cycle. If
the ADC was newly enabled, the analog delay time is added to the doubled sample time.
If the DMA is running when the ADC_CFG register is modified, the DMA does not stop, so the DMA buffer may
contain conversion results from both the old and new configurations.
The following procedure illustrates a simple polled method of using the ADC without DMA. This assumes that any
GPIOs and the voltage reference have already been configured.
1. Disable all ADC interrupts: Write 0 to the INT_ADCCFG register.
2. Write the desired offset and gain correction values to the ADC_OFFSET and ADC_GAIN registers.
3. Write the desired conversion configuration, with the ADC_EN bit set, to ADC_CFG register.
4. Clear the ADC data flag: Write the INT_ADCDATA bit to INT_ADCFLAG register.
5. Wait until the INT_ADCDATA bit is set in INT_ADCFLAG register, then read the result, as a 16-bit signed
variable, from the ADC_DATA register.
The following procedure illustrates a simple polled method of using the ADC with DMA. After completing the
procedure, the latest conversion results are available in the location written to by the DMA. This assumes that any
GPIOs and the voltage reference have already been configured.
1. Allocate a 16-bit signed variable, for example analogData, to receive the ADC output. 
(Make sure that analogData is half-word aligned – that is, at an even address.)
2. Disable all ADC interrupts: Write 0 to the INT_ADCCFG register.
3. Set up the DMA to output conversion results to the variable, analogData.
Reset the DMA: Set the ADC_DMARST bit in ADC_DMACFG register.
Define a one sample buffer: Write analogData’s address to the ADC_DMABEG register and set the
ADC_DMASIZE register to 1.
4. Write the desired offset and gain correction values to the ADC_OFFSET and ADC_GAIN registers.
5. Start the ADC and the DMA.
Write the desired conversion configuration, with the ADC_EN bit set, to the ADC_CFG register.
Clear the ADC buffer full flag: Write the INT_ADCULDFULL bit to the INT_ADCFLAG register.
Start the DMA in auto wrap mode: Set the ADC_DMAAUTOWRAP and ADC_DMALOAD bits in the
ADC_DMACFG register.

Rev 1.1
6. Wait until the INT_ADCULDFULL bit is set in the INT_ADCFLAG register, then read the result from
analogData.
To convert multiple inputs using this approach, repeat steps 4 through 6, loading the desired input configurations to
the ADC_CFG register in Step 5. If the inputs can use the same offset/gain correction, just repeat steps 5 and 6.
11.4. Calibration
Sampling of internal connections GND, VREF/2, and VREF allow for offset and gain calibration of the ADC in
applications where absolute accuracy is important. Offset error is calculated from the minimum input and gain error
is calculated from the full scale input range. Correction using VREF is recommended because VREF is calibrated
by the Ember software against VDD_PADSA. The VDD_PADSA regulator is factory-trimmed to 1.80 V ± 20 mV. If
better absolute accuracy is required, the ADC can be configured to use an external reference. The ADC calibrates
as a single-ended measurement. Differential signals require correction of both their inputs.
The following steps outline the calibration procedure:
1. Calibrate VREF against VDD_PADSA.
2. Determine the ADC gain by sampling independently VREF and GND. Gain is calculated from the slope of
these two measurements.
3. Apply gain correction.
4. Determine the ADC offset by sampling GND.
5. Apply offset correction.
Table 11.5 shows the equations used to calculate the gain and offset correction values.

Correction Value
16384
32768  ------------------------------------------- N VREF – N GND 
2   57344 – N GND 
Notes:
1. The ADC output is 2s complement. All N are therefore 16-bit 2s complement numbers.
2. Offset is a 16-bit 2s complement number.
3. Gain is a 16-bit number representing a gain of 0 to 65535/32768 in 1/32768 steps. The default value is 32768,
corresponding to a gain of 1.
4. NGND is a sampling of ground. Due to the ADC's internal design, VGND does not yield the minimum 16 bit 2s
complement value 32768 as the conversion result. Instead, VGND yields a value close to 57344 when the input buffer
is not selected. VGND cannot be measured when the input buffer is enabled because it is outside the buffer's input
range.
5. NVREF is a sampling of VREF. Due to the ADC's internal design, VREF does not yield the maximum positive 16-bit 2s
complement 32767 as the conversion result. Instead, VREF yields a value close to 8192.
6. NVREF/2 is a sampling of VREF/2. VREF/2 yields a value close to 0.
7. Offset correction is affected by the gain correction value. Offset correction is calculated after gain correction has been
applied.

11.5. ADC Key Parameters
Table 11.6 describes the key ADC parameters measured at 25°C and VDD_PADS at 3.0 V, for a sampling clock of
1 MHz. The single-ended measurements were done at finput = 7.7% fNyquist; 0 dBFS level (where full-scale is a
1.2 V p-p swing). The differential measurements were done at finput = 7.7% fNyquist; –6 dBFS level (where full-scale
is a 2.4 V p-p swing) and a common mode voltage of 0.6 V.

12. Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU)
The EM359x integrates the standard ARM® Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU). The TPIU receives a data stream
from the on-chip trace data generated by the standard ARM® Instrument Trace Macrocell (ITM) and ARM®
Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM), buffers the data in a FIFO for the ITM and FIFO for the ETM, formats the data,
and serializes the data to be sent off chip through alternate functions of the GPIO. Since the primary function of the
TPIU is to provide a bridge between on-chip ARM system debug components and external GPIO, the TPIU itself
does not generate data. Figure 12.1 illustrates the three primary components of the TPIU.

Figure 12.1. TPIU Block Diagram
The TPIU is composed of:
Two
asynchronous FIFOs: The asynchronous FIFOs receive a data stream generated by the ITM and ETM
and enables the trace data to be sent off chip at a speed that is not dependent on the speed of the data
source.
Formatter: The formatter inserts source ID signals into the data packet stream so that trace data can be reassociated with its trace source.
Trace Out: The trace out block serializes the data and sends it off chip by the proper alternate output GPIO
functions.
The six pins available to the TPIU are:
SWO
TRACECLK
TRACEDATA0
TRACEDATA1
TRACEDATA2
TRACEDATA3
Since these pins are alternate outputs of GPIO, refer to Chapter 7, GPIO, and in the Ember EM359x Data Sheet,
Chapter 6, Pin Assignments, for complete pin descriptions and configurations.
Notes:
1. The SWO alternate output is mirrored on GPIO PC1 and PC2.
2. GPIO PC1 shares both the SWO and TRACEDATA0 alternate outputs. This is possible because SWO and
TRACEDATA0 are mutually exclusive, and only one may be selected at a time in the trace-out block.
The Ember software utilizes the TPIU to efficiently output debug data. Altering the TPIU configuration may conflict
with Ember debug output.
For further information on the TPIU, contact Silicon Labs support for the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical Reference
Manual, the ARM® CoreSightTM Components Technical Reference Manual, the ARM® v7-M Architecture
Reference Manual, and the ARM® v7-M Architecture Application Level Reference Manual.

13. Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM)
The EM359x integrates the standard ARM® Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM). The ITM is an applicationdriven trace source that supports printf style debugging to trace software events and emits diagnostic system
information from the ARM® Data Watchpoint and Trace (DWT). Software using the ITM generates Software
Instrumentation Trace (SWIT). In addition, the ITM provides coarse-grained timestamp functionality. The ITM emits
trace information as packets, and these packets are sent to the Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU). Three sources
can generate packets. If multiple sources generate packets at the same time, the ITM arbitrates the order in which
the packets are output. The three sources, in decreasing order of priority, are:
Software
trace. Software can write directly to ITM stimulus registers, emitting packets.
trace. The DWT generates packets that the ITM emits.
Time stamping. Timestamps are emitted relative to packets and the ITM contains a 21-bit counter to
generate the timestamps.
The Ember software utilizes the ITM for efficiently generating debug data. Altering the ITM configuration may
conflict with Ember debug output.
Hardware
For further information on the ITM, contact customer support for the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical Reference
Manual, the ARM® CoreSightTM Components Technical Reference Manual, the ARM® v7-M Architecture
Reference Manual, and the ARM®v7-M Architecture Application Level Reference Manual.

14. Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM)
The EM359x integrates the standard ARM® Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) version 3.4.
The ETM is a powerful debug component that enables reconstruction of program execution. The ETM is designed
as a high-speed, low-power debug tool that only supports instruction trace.
The ETM generates information that trace software tools use to reconstruct the execution of all or part of a
program. The ETM can be configured in software to capture only select trace information and only after a specific
sequence of conditions.
When the system is running, the ETM collects instruction data, compresses this information and delivers it off-chip
in real-time for post processing. The ETM emits trace information to the Trace Port Interface Unit (TPIU). The TPIU
combines the other sources of debug data (DWT and ITM), and outputs it to the trace pins
For further information on the ETM, contact customer support for the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical Reference
Manual, the ARM® CoreSightTM Components Technical Reference Manual, the ARM® v7-M Architecture
Reference Manual, and the ARM®v7-M Architecture Application Level Reference Manual.

15. Data Watchpoint and Trace (DWT)
The EM359x integrates the standard ARM® Data Watchpoint and Trace (DWT). The DWT provides hardware
support for profiling and debugging functionality. The DWT offers the following features:
PC
sampling
Comparators
to support:
Watchpoints
- enters debug state
tracing
Cycle count matched PC sampling
Data
Exception
trace support
cycle count calculation support
Apart from exception tracing, DWT functionality is counter- or comparator-based. Watchpoint and data trace
support use a set of compare, mask, and function registers. DWT-generated events result in one of two actions:
Instruction
Generation
of a hardware event packet. Packets are generated and combined with software events and
timestamp packets for transmission through the ITM/TPIU.
A core halt - entry to debug state.
When exception tracing is enabled, the DWT emits an exception trace packet under the following conditions:
Exception
entry (from thread mode or pre-emption of a thread or handler).
Exception exit when exiting a handler.
Exception return when reentering a preempted thread or handler code sequence.
The DWT is designed for use with advanced profiling and debug tools, available from multiple vendors. Altering
DWT configuration may conflict with the operation of advanced profiling and debug tools.
For further information on the DWT, contact Silicon Labs support for the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical Reference
Manual, the ARM® CoreSight™ Components Technical Reference Manual, the ARM® v7-M Architecture
Reference Manual, and the ARM® v7-M Architecture Application Level Reference Manual.

16. Flash Patch and Breakpoint (FPB)
The EM359x integrates the standard ARM® Flash Patch and Breakpoint (FPB). The FPB implements hardware
breakpoints. The FPB also provides support for remapping of specific instruction or literal locations from flash
memory to an address in RAM memory. The FPB contains:
Two
literal comparators for matching against literal loads from flash space, and remapping to a
corresponding RAM space.
Six instruction comparators for matching against instruction fetches from flash space, and remapping to a
corresponding RAM space. Alternatively, the comparators can be individually configured to return a
breakpoint instruction to the processor core on a match, implementing hardware breakpoint capability
The FPB contains a global enable, but also individual enables for the eight comparators. If the comparison for an
entry matches, the address is remapped to the address defined in the remap register plus and offset corresponding
to the comparator that matched. Alternately, the address is remapped to a breakpoint instruction. The comparison
happens on the fly, but the result of the comparison occurs too late to stop the original instruction fetch or literal
load taking place from the flash space. The processor ignores this transaction, however, and only the remapped
transaction is used.
Memory Protection Unit (MPU) lookups are performed for the original address, not the remapped address.
Unaligned literal accesses are not remapped. The original access to the bus takes place in this case.
The FPB is designed for use with advanced debug tools, available from multiple vendors. Altering FPB
configuration may conflict with the operation of advanced debug tools.
For further information on the FPB, contact Silicon Labs support for the ARM® CortexTM-M3 Technical Reference
Manual, the ARM® CoreSight™ Components Technical Reference Manual, the ARM® v7-M Architecture
Reference Manual, and the ARM® v7-M Architecture Application Level Reference Manual.

17. Serial Wire and JTAG (SWJ) Interface
The EM359x includes a standard Serial Wire and JTAG (SWJ) Interface. The SWJ is the primary debug and
programming interface of the EM359x. The SWJ gives debug tools access to the internal buses of the EM359x,
and allows for non-intrusive memory and register access as well as CPU halt-step style debugging. Therefore, any
design implementing the EM359x should make the SWJ signals readily available.
Serial Wire is an ARM® standard, bi-directional, two-wire protocol designed to replace JTAG, and provides all the
normal JTAG debug and test functionality. JTAG is a standard five-wire protocol providing debug and test
functionality. In addition, the two Serial Wire signals (SWDIO and SWCLK) are overlaid on two of the JTAG signals
(JTMS and JTCK). This keeps the design compact and allows debug tools to switch between Serial Wire and JTAG
as needed, without changing pin connections.
While Serial Wire and JTAG offer the same debug and test functionality, Silicon Labs recommends Serial Wire.
Serial Wire uses only two pins instead of five, and offers a simple communication protocol, high performance data
rates, low power, built-in error detection, and protection from glitches.
The ARM® CoreSightTM Debug Access Port (DAP) comprises the Serial Wire and JTAG Interface (SWJ). As
illustrated in Figure 17.1, the DAP includes two primary components: a debug port (the SWJ-DP) and an access
port (the AHB-AP). The SWJ-DP provides external debug access, while the AHB-AP provides internal bus access.
An external debug tool connected to the EM359x’s debug pins communicates with the SWJ-DP. The SWJ-DP then
communicates with the AHB-AP. Finally, the AHB-AP communicates on the internal bus.

Figure 17.1. SWJ Block Diagram
Serial Wire and JTAG share five pins:
JRST
JTDO
JTDI
SWDIO/JTMS
SWCLK/JTCK
Note: The SWJ pins are forced functions, and their corresponding GPIO_PxCFGH/L configurations are overridden when the
EM359x resets. An application may reclaim all four of the SWJ GPIOs (PC0, PC2, PC3, and PC4) by disabling the SWJ
interface or reclaim just the JTAG specific GPIOs (PC0, PC2, PC3). When using these pins as GPIOs remember that the
chip resets in JTAG mode and the forced functions will be active until software reconfigures them.
Since these pins can be repurposed, refer to Section 7.3, Forced Functions, in Chapter 7, GPIO, and, in the Ember
EM359x Data Sheet, Chapter 6, Pin Assignments, for complete pin descriptions and configurations.
For further information on the SWJ, contact customer support for Application Notes and ARM® CoreSightTM
documentation.
